The death of former B.C. premier Bill Bennett on Dec. 4 prompted the tradi-tional round of polite tributes.

He was the man from Kelowna who remade Vancouver; SkyTrain, BC Place stadium and Expo ’86 put the city on the world map. He won three majority governments before handing over a smoothly running Social Credit Party to Bill Vander Zalm.

Outside B.C., obituaries defined Ben-nett as the “architect of financial restraint in the province.” But when Bennett unleashed his “restraint program” on the B.C. government in 1983, it was often presented as a right-wing coup on a socialist utopia.

I was in journalism school when unions organized a general strike to bring the re-cently re-elected government to its knees. The Vancouver Province was a screeching banshee of the big-labour left.

“Socred hit men swoop on rights

workers,” its front page declared after 400 layoff notices were issued to provincial staff.

A bit of background: The B.C. econo-my was in the grip of an international recession, hitting resource industries and government revenues hard.

Bennett had ousted the Dave Barrett NDP government in 1975, but the legacy lived on. During its three-year reign, for example, education spending increased 13 per cent in the first year and 23 per cent in each of the next two.

Restraint legislation reasserted govern-ment’s authority to control the size and wages of provincial staff, reinstated the province’s ability to pay, eliminated vari-ous boards, and increased the Provincial Sales Tax to seven per cent.

Another Bill Bennett legacy was dismantling the monopoly chokehold of international unions on public heavy construction.

Growing up in northeastern B.C., I had seen the impressive pay for jobs on highway construction – about twice what I earned labouring for a non-union contractor.

Friends discovered the inside track to securing jobs on a provincially funded highway project. After joining the union, they could visit a business agent and hand over $500. Within days, the lucky winner would be “name requested” to join the crew, vaulting over those who thought paying dues and working up the seniority list would be enough.

This struggle over public construction continues today, with BC Hydro’s decision to make the Site C dam an open shop. The main contract was awarded to a consortium working with the Christian Labour Association of Canada, an alter-native union known by more colourful

names among old-line building trades.After graduating from journalism

school, I landed my first full-time job as a reporter for the Kelowna Capital News, shortly before Bennett announced his retirement from the premier’s office to finish his term as a backbench MLA.

Bennett and I would sometimes arrive for work together, parking our rusty 1976 Chevrolets on Bernard Avenue, where he kept an office above the family furniture store.

I found out later that Bennett’s modest old sedan was the government-issue car he had used during his entire 10 years as premier. The party bought it for him as a humourous retirement gift and he continued to drive it.

No frills. That was Bill Bennett.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and colum-

nist for Black Press.

Passages of 2015: ‘No frills’ Bill Bennett

The provincial government should get its ducks in a row. That means it needs to have a clear and fair tolling policy in place before opening yet another toll bridge between the South Fraser region and the rest of Metro Vancouver.

The announcement that a new 10-lane bridge will replace the Massey Tunnel, and that it will be tolled, is another reminder of how hypocritical and dis-criminatory the government’s current tolling policy is. Work on the new bridge will begin in 2017 and it is expected to open by 2022.

Currently, there are just two tolled bridges in B.C. One is the new Port Mann, built and op-erated by the province through the Transportation Investment Corporation (TReO). The other is the Golden Ears, built and operated by TransLink. Both link Surrey, Langley, Delta and other south-of-the Fraser cities with those to the north.

It is important to look at toll-ing in its complete context. Prior to the opening of the Golden Ears Bridge in 2009, the only toll highway in B.C. since the early 1960s had been the Coquihalla Highway. It was tolled when it opened in 1986 because its construction timetable was advanced to have it ready for Expo ’86.

It remained a toll highway

for more than 20 years, with then-premier Gordon Campbell arbitrarily and surprisingly an-nouncing the tolls were ending at the September 2008 Union of B.C. Municipalities conven-tion. A total of $845 million was collected over 22 years – just $3 million short of the construction cost of the highway and the con-necting link to the Okanagan.

The Golden Ears was planned as a toll bridge because it was the only way TransLink could afford to build it. It replaced the aging and slow ferry system which was completely inadequate for the volumes of traffic travelling be-tween Maple Ridge and Langley.

The new Port Mann Bridge, on the other hand, replaced one of the most important and congested river crossings in B.C. It carries the Trans-Cana-da Highway, which is partially funded by the federal govern-ment. It is tolled to reduce the province’s costs. Yet other new provincial highways and bridges, notably the Pitt River Bridge and the Sea-to-Sky Highway, are free to use.

The province’s tolling policy since the new Port Mann and freeway improvements were announced by Campbell in 2006 says there has to be a free alter-native. Theoretically, that is the Pattullo Bridge, but in fact that

aging structure cannot handle any more traffic. The South Fraser Perimeter Road is an option to bypass the Port Mann, but one of the major effects has been to put even more traffic on the Alex Fraser and Massey crossings.

If the new Deas Island crossing is also tolled, the pressure on the Alex Fraser will be enormous. It is already badly congested virtually every weekday morning and evening. There are long line-ups to get onto it, whether off Highway 17, Nordel Way or 72 Avenue on the south, or the East-West Connector and Queensborough Bridge on the north.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone recently said he is willing to examine the toll-ing policy and road pricing if TransLink decides to replace the Pattullo Bridge. A new crossing there would also be a toll structure.

Residents who live south of the Fraser River deserve far more from provincial and regional officials than luke-warm promises. There must be a regional tolling and road pricing policy in place before the Massey Bridge opens.

RAESIDE

Beware of politicians off ering $3.5-billion gifts, as they maybe mere White Elephants, haunting the taxpayer for generations to come.

If one thinks that the B.C. Liberals’ new $3.5-billion Massey Bridge, replacing the per-fectly good George Massey Tunnel, will improve traffi c congestion, one had better take off their rose-coloured glasses because, despite the hype and hoopla, all the $3.5-billion bridge will do is move congestion about three kilometres north to about Steveston Highway.

Why?Th e answer is simple math. Th e Arthur Laing,

Oak, Knight and Queensborough bridges are at or near capacity throughout the day and the new traffi c brought by the bridge will just sit idling on

Highway 99 as the larger amount of cars using the new bridge will have nowhere to go and will crawl through Richmond unless another bridge is built to Burnaby/Vancouver.

Th ose glad-handing this project have seemed to have slept through their math classes.

As planning for this bridge is not part of a re-gional transportation plan, then we must accept that regional transportation and transit planning has all but come to an end in the South Fraser region.

Th e real reason for this bridge is again, simple math. Fraser Surrey Docks wants to bring in massive tankers and colliers to load liquefi ed natural gas, dirty bitumen oil from Alberta and even dirtier Montana coal, and these massive new ships have a much deeper draft than existing ships plying the Fraser River. So deep are these ships’ drafts that the Fraser must be dredged to a depth below the existing George Massey Tunnel.

Th e premier’s $3.5-billion vanity project is in

reality a massive $3.5-billion subsidy to Fraser Surrey Docks and maybe they should pay for the bridge.

Like the capacity-constipated Canada Line, which is the only heavy-rail metro in the world built as a light metro having less capacity than a streetcar, this new bridge may prove to be a White Elephant for future generations, needing billions of dollars more for future improvements.

Th e new Fraser River bridge is pure “B.C. blacktop” politics, which will provide pricey photo-ops at election times, for it will not bring much-hoped-for improvements to our regional transportation system.

Footnote: A tolled Fraser River bridge will be the death-knell of the Tsawwassen Mills mega mall, as very few people will pay a toll to shop in Tsawwassen.

D. M. JohnstonDelta

To the citizens of Surrey, As the year draws to a close, I would like

to thank you for your continued trust and support. I would also like to share some of the work the Surrey RCMP has done to improve public safety in your neighbour-hoods this year.

Our priorities of public safety, commu-nity engagement and mobilization, and organizational development have driven our work throughout the year, resulting in a number of successes and new initiatives.

With respect to public safety, our homi-cide rate has decreased by 47 per cent, our fatal collisions are down 23 per cent, and our property crime rate has decreased by 10 per cent.

Unfortunately, the city was plagued with a number of shootings related to the drug trade this year, driving our violent crime rate. Our investigative teams, supported by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), have made significant headway in disrupting this drug activity and the related violence by making almost 800 arrests and detentions, resulting in 290 charges. I can assure you that this con-tinues to be our detachment’s top priority.

Some of our initiatives to pro-active-ly improve public safety have included a successful joint operation with Metro Vancouver Transit Police to improve safety in the Surrey Central transit corridor, and the support of more participants in the Wrap program, a partnership with the Surrey School District which helps to keep at-risk youth out of the gang and criminal lifestyle.

We have also made efforts to reach out to our diverse community in Surrey

through our participation in cultural events such as the Pulling Together Canoe Journey and Vaisakhi, and meetings with various community groups. To assist those who are new to Canada and Surrey, we created a “Newcomer’s Guide to Policing” that is now available in print and on our

website (http://surrey.rcmp-grc.gc.ca). A significant accomplishment for us this

year was the launch of the Surrey Mobili-zation and Resiliency Table, or “SMART.” With the help of our 10 partners, SMART is intended to address social issues before they become police problems. This model,

often called a “Hub,” has been established in other parts of Canada, but SMART is the first of its kind in B.C. I am very proud that Surrey detachment has played a key role in bringing this type of risk-driven interven-tion model to Surrey.

This year, we have continued to increase our efforts in community engagement and mobilization and you have responded. More than 100 new Block Watches were created, 900 residents attended our 15 Neighbourhood Safety presentations, and 52 youth and adults participated in our Citizen and Youth Police Academies.

As our city continues to grow, a signif-icant focus for us this year has been on increasing our establishment of police offi-cers. Since the official approval of 100 new police officers in May, 75 of those positions have been filled. In addition, 31 municipal employees were added to support our op-eration. The growth of our detachment has allowed us to enhance our service delivery, particularly with respect to our uniformed first responders in general duty and youth policing.

While enforcement is a key part of polic-ing, public safety does not improve simply by making arrests. I would like to thank every citizen and business owner in Surrey who has taken the time over the past year to call us to report a crime or suspicious event, talk to us in person, join a Block Watch group, or attend one of our crime prevention events.

The community plays an important role in all aspects of policing – from observing and reporting, to engaging with us, to protecting yourself, your home and your business.

Thank you for being involved and for caring about the safety and well-being of our police officers and this great city. I wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday season.

Chief Superintendent Bill FordyOfficer in Charge, Surrey RCMP

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone is one of the “visionaries” who will continue to build British Columbia.

How do we know this? He told us himself. It’s a good thing, too, because we certainly couldn’t have found out through a freedom-of-informa-tion request.

Well, keep up that vi-sioning thing, Mr. Stone.

But maybe try to en-vision something more useful than a bridge whose main purpose is subsidizing accelerated suburban sprawl south of the Fraser.

A Surrey woman who stabbed her mother to death three years ago will have to wait at least 12 years before applying for parole.

Gloria Zerbinos, 31, was found guilty of second-degree murder in September in the stabbing death of her mom, Pangiota “Yota” Zerbinos.

Th ough the conviction carries an automatic life sentence, pa-role ineligibility can range from 10 to 25 years.

On Monday (Dec. 21) in B.C. Supreme Court in New West-minster, a judge set ineligibility at 12 years for Gloria, minus the three years she has spent in pre-trial custody. During a sentencing hearing earlier this month, Crown had recom-mended 13 years, while defence suggested 10-12 years.

It was revealed during the

trial that Yota was dropping off clean laundry to her daughter’s basement suite on Nov. 8, 2012 when she was killed.

Th e mother was 43 when her then-28-year-old daughter stabbed her at least two dozen times.

Yota was discovered later that evening, a knife still protruding from her chest, her body draped in a blanket.

Th e court heard that after the incident, Gloria dropped off her toddler son at Yota’s mother’s home nearby, but said nothing about the stabbing. Gloria was arrested two days later at a

Vancouver strip club. While no motive was

established, lawyers agreed she suffers from a psychotic disorder and abuses drugs and alcohol.

Th e Crown also said Gloria has displayed delusional and volatile behaviour in jail.

In fact, she is facing a mur-der charge in connection with the death of a fellow inmate in November 2013, and has another assault charge from June prior, also while in prison. A preliminary inquiry for the murder charge is scheduled for February.

This time of year we see a lot of packaging, wrapping paper, ribbons and string, not to mention all manner

of things inside the attractive containers. Without thought or eff ort, this material easily transforms into litter. Litter is a Road Rules-worthy topic for two reasons: one theoretical, the other practical and cautionary.

Years ago, people tossed packaging, wrappers, newly-devised disposable ‘stuff ’ on sidewalks as they walked along, and out their car-windows as they drove along. Th is behaviour hardly merited consideration of the resulting unsightliness, uncleanliness, and potential danger when the weather or other natural forces, in turn, tossed it back onto windshields or under tires. Much of the material “back in the day” was organic and ultimately decomposed.

Roadside litter increased exponentially as car usage increased. Behaviour change became imperative. Today, cultural historians consider the “Don’t be a litterbug” campaign a textbook example of how media messaging to educate, reinforced by legal prohibition and law enforcement can produce a massive cultural shift.

Today littering is widely considered intolerable, unacceptable behaviour, an aff ront to decency and the rights of others to clean and safe public spaces. People still litter, of course, but not without risk of being quickly called to account. City streets and highways are generally litter-free, clean and hence comfortably passable.

Indeed we have gone the next step: litter

must be sorted and disposed of accordingly. Such a successful behavioural shift has been seen in other ‘cultural shift’ eff orts: anti-smoking, and anti-drinking and driving eff orts, for example.

Road and highway ‘litter’—‘debris’ is the better term—is now often the result of insecure racked loads on cars and vans, and in the backs of light ‘pick-up’ trucks. Sometimes more substantial in size and mass, debris on the road can cause havoc, especially on highways where higher speed limits translate into higher forces at play when solid objects collide. Th e tendency may be to swerve to avoid risking loss of control.

Depending on the surrounding traffi c, swerving manoeuvres may set in motion a potentially catastrophic chain of events—catastrophic for the load-bearing vehicle, and for the vehicles surrounding it. If seemingly doable, barrelling on over it can cause serious damage to a vehicle’s undercarriage. Road Rules has written many articles about the dangers of breaking down on high-speed roadways.

Safety tips about loading cars, vans, and light trucks are self-evident but bear repeating. Ensure racks are completely sound and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure any load attached to the rack fi ts within the suggested size and weight range. Double-check that attachment of the load is sound and in accord with all the instructions. Do not take chances. Do not underestimate the forces that will be in play if strapping or cords or clips detach or fail in some manner. Go for redundancy with multiple straps independently secured. Make sure all objects including heavy objects in truck boxes are securely locked in. And please, while driving on the roadway, pets are not safe in open truck boxes—period.

Highway debris and hazards should be promptly reported to 911.

Surrey’s Bradley Michael Muscat has been sentenced to a total of eight years jail for a pair of attacks that included a violent sexual assault of a woman in the Victoria suburb of Langford in 2014.

Crown prosecutor Ruth Picha said Muscat, 21, who was arrested in Surrey in October of 2014 and had pleaded guilty to two counts involving aggravated assault, could spend more than six more years behind bars.

“Th is is a signifi cant sentence for someone who has no prior criminal history,” Picha said after last week’s sentencing. “However, I was asking for 10 years, (but) the judge took everything into consideration and gave a very learned ruling.”

Previous admissions of facts stated

that Muscat held a sharp object to the neck of a woman who was walk-ing home in the early hours of June 26, 2014. After a struggle, he forced her onto the Galloping Goose Trail, raped her and stole her phone.

Included in the ruling on that aggravated sexual assault was the aggravated assault of a sex-trade worker in Surrey in August of 2014. Th e admission of facts said he hit the woman in the head, stabbed her in the side and back and stole more than $500 cash.

Th e sex worker eventually stabbed Muscat with a knife pulled from her bra. He was arrested after going to hospital for treatment, having matched a description given to police by the sex worker.

He was then considered a suspect in the Langford attack. Offi cers trav-elled to Surrey, where they matched DNA from an empty beer can he had discarded to evidence taken from the Langford victim.

He still had her cellphone in his bathrobe when police arrested him.

It may have been a rainy Tues-day afternoon on Dec. 15, but the weather wasn’t dampening the spirits of members of Frank Hurt Secondary’s Global Issues Club (GIC) as they discussed how their campaigns have cre-ated awareness in their school community.

“We’re just a group of kids that want to make a diff erence locally and globally,” said GIC member Tara Trang.

So far this year, the GIC has initiated a number of cam-paigns, from a memorial for the 14 women murdered in the 1989 École Polytechnique attack, to a Red Dress display that highlights murdered and missing indigenous women, to raising funds for Syrian refu-gees and the Surrey Food Bank.

Th e club has been a pillar of the Frank Hurt school commu-nity for more than 10 years and is currently co-run by teachers

Melanie Scheuer and Rox-anne Pope, who have recently expanded the scope of the club to bring awareness to various issues.

“We work very closely with Free the Children, as well as NightShift (Street Ministries), the Surrey Food Bank, Im-migration Services Society of B.C. (ISS), the Red Cross, and QMuni-ty,” said Scheuer.

She added that GIC students have begun a Pride Week event in association with the school’s Gay-Straight Alli-ance club, and are currently working on ways to bring awareness to mental health issues.

According to members of the GIC, the most successful campaign to date this school year has been to raise funds for Syrian refugees through a vari-ety of bake sales. Th e club raised $1,000 and has given $500 each to the Red Cross and ISS.

“Everyone was so excited to help, and we’re still really involved because we’re getting some [refugees] coming to our school,” said GIC member Anisha Karan. “And kids have signed up to help them get ac-

customed to Frank Hurt life.”Many of the students attri-

bute the success of the GIC to the enthusiasm and knowledge Scheuer and Pope impart on them.

“Ms. Pope and Ms. Scheuer make sure that we’re spearhead-ing all the campaigns,” said GIC member Asha Khondoker. “Th ey

motivate us to do it, and then we see how we’re actively making a change.”

Fellow GIC mem-ber Aide Idemudia agreed.

“Ms. Scheuer and Ms Pope are so en-thusiastic about it,” said Idemudia, “Th ey

just draw everyone in.”While Scheuer and Pope

appreciate the accolades from their students, they know that without the teens’ involvement and ideas, the GIC would not have the same reach it does now.

“It’s student led, with us as mentors,” said Pope.

Th e GIC has already begun planning for a blanket and clothing campaign that runs in January. For more information about what the GIC is up to, follow them on twitter @FHGlo-balIssues

Building confi dence, living a balanced life-style and appreciating yourself and others around you is the mes-

sage one young Surrey woman is hoping to spread throughout schools in the Lower Mainland.

While she was in high school, Taylor Hui

noticed the negativity that surrounded her and others, including girls treating class-mates with disrespect and trying to put each other down to make

themselves feel better. So three years ago,

while in Grade 11 at Fraser Heights Secondary School, Hui founded BeaYOUtiful, a not-for-profi t pro-

gram for elementary school-aged girls which aims to teach them about themselves and how to set personal goals and take charge of their own lives.

Hui, now 20 and an international relations and business student at SFU, developed the six-week curriculum to help girls open up about their problems while at the same time challenge them to fi nd solutions.

Having seen friends deal with eating disor-ders, low self-esteem and even being bullied herself, Hui noticed a gap in the system.

“I found these types of programs were not available to help girls overcome these issues early on in life,” she said. “I know a lot of these problems start in elementary school, so if you can target them at a young age you can really make a diff er-ence.”

Th rough various con-ferences she attended or during her own speaking engagements, Hui was able to partner with young student mentors who help facilitate the classes at various schools. Th e mentors range in age from 16-21 and are of-ten university students studying social sciences who are able to connect with the girls on the same level.

After they have com-pleted a background check, the mentors then take part in a two-day mentorship training program designed by Hui to help them understand the course outline and expectations.

Th e BeaYOUtiful program runs once a week has participants work through diff er-ent modules, either setting personal goals using dream boards, or talking about personal challenges and how to overcome them.

One class includes a pampering night where

Help for the gifted

the girls learn to be comfortable in their own skin and recognize their inner beauty.

“We even brought in an artist to show the girls diff erent ways art can be used to reduce stress using drawing and even singing,” said Hui.

If mentors feel the situation warrants it, they can get school ad-ministration involved and even enlist the help of a community counsellor if the issues

that come up are more than they can handle.

For Cindrich Elemen-tary Grade 7 student Shingar Garcha, the program has helped her and her classmates better understand each other.

“I used to get into fi ghts in school, so when I fi rst showed up, I thought, ‘oh wow, this is going to be awk-ward,’” she said “But we started to share things about each other and I found we actually had things in common and we’ve become good friends.”

Shingar now feels she has more confi dence and understands how to deal with stressful situations and help people.

For Simran Sand-hu, BeaYOUtiful has taught her to believe in herself and learn that she is not alone.

“I was often unmoti-vated, but now when things get tough I know to take a deep breath and think about how lucky I am.”

BLACK PRESS

Last summer, there were 26 black bear cubs in the Fraser Valley area who had lost their mothers and were starving; some were even eating plastic bags and metal cans.

One by one they were taken to the Critter Care Wildlife Society, an animal rehabilitation centre in Langley.

On Dec. 11, the adult students from Delta Community College (DCC) gave these bears a Christmas present. A month prior, while in English class, a group of students saw a newspaper article about the bears.

Th e students were saddened to learn that four bears died within the fi rst 24 hours of being rescued and the rest were on the brink of starvation. Touched by the story, they decided to help the bears by collecting food for them.

“First, we contacted Critter Care to get information about the food the bears needed. Th en we organized a do-nation activity to collect apples, pears, carrots, caulifl ower, and broccoli for the starving bears,” said Sumera Saeed, a student at DCC. “Many students and teachers responded with passion and compassion.”

Th e students packed the boxes of fruit and vegetables into a car and delivered them to Critter Care Wildlife So-ciety. Th e number of bears in care had risen to 32 by this point. All of the bears have names – the smallest bear is called Tiny Tim.

“As we are reading A Christmas Carol in class, we now know what this bear’s name means,” said student Yiqing Mao.

Th e bears are now doing really well. In the spring, the plan is to relocate them back to their habitats.

“We really hope these bears will grow healthy and strong and will be able to live happy lives,” said student Guanqun Ding. “For all of us, it was an amazing experience. We feel great because our food collection and volunteer work have made a small impact on the animals’ lives.”

Th e results have just been released and the amateur radio operators of Surrey have scored fi rst place in Can-ada for the annual North American Field Day emergency communications competition.

Despite the Internet, cellphones, email and modern communica-tions, every year whole regions fi nd themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, earthquakes, fi res, storms, landslides, ice and even the occasional cutting of cables leave people without the means to communicate.

Th e one consistent service that has never failed has been amateur radio. Th ese federally licensed radio oper-ators, often called “hams,” provide

back-up communications for every-thing from community events to local emergency operations centres, and to the International Space Station.

Th is past June, Surrey “hams” joined with thousands of other amateur radio operators in a 24-hour exercise of their emergency communi-cations capabilities.

Th e amateur radio operators assembled an emergency radio station at the former Grandview Elemen-tary School grounds at 176 Street and 20 Avenue. Over the 24-hour period

they made more than 800 contacts throughout North America and be-yond, operating using only fi ve watts of power.

Surrey Fire Service Deputy Fire Chief Dan Barnscher, who coordi-nates emergency response for the City of Surrey, says “amateur radio plays an integral part in emergency communications during any major event for the city.”

Th e Surrey Ama-teur Radio Club will be off ering classes in April to obtain a radio licence. For more infor-mation, email [email protected]

CARRIERS WANTED


RICK KUPCHUK

Th e fi rst half of the 72-game regular season began well and ended well for the Vancouver Giants.

Th e fi rst three weeks of the regular season

saw the Giants get off to a 4-3-2 (win-loss-over-time loss) start to the season, earning points at a rate which would ensure the Western Hockey League team would qualify for the playoff s.

Th e three weeks just prior to the holiday break were even better, as they went 7-3-1.

It was a disastrous

seven-week stretch from mid-October to late November, which saw the team go 1-13-2 that has put the Giants in the hole they will need to climb out of over the fi nal half of the season.

Vancouver is 12-19-5 after 36 games, the halfway point of the regular season. Th ey are last in Western Con-ference standings, but

need to overtake just two rivals in order to climb into the top eight and participate in the playoff s. And if they can maintain their level of play over the fi rst three weeks of December, they should be able to reach the postseason.

A much-improved de-fensive record is behind much of their success over the past 11 games. After giving up an aver-age of 4.08 goals against per game in the fi rst 25 games of the season,

they have lowered that fi gure to 2.28 over the next 11.

Goaltender Ryan Kubic is one of the rea-sons why. Th e 17-year-old appeared in just 10 of Vancouver’s fi rst 25 games of the season, losing all eight decisions (0-7-1).

In the past 11 games, he’s started all 11, going 7-2-1. His goals against average has dropped from 2.28 over the fi rst two months of the season to 1.85 during

the recent streak. A save percentage of .878 has improved consider-ably, as Kubic posted a .937 mark, with three shutouts, over the most recent three weeks.

Matt Barberis has been contributing off en-sively all season, but his defensive numbers have improved considerably in the past month. Th e White Rock native is quietly putting together a solid rookie season, leading all Giants defencemen in scoring

with fi ve goals and 13 assists. But while he was a minus-13 through the fi rst 25 games of the season, he’s been a plus-4 in the past 11.

Veteran Chase Lang, 19, and rookie Tyler Benson have stepped up their off ensive produc-tion during the recent run. Lang, who had three goals in 14 games with the Giants follow-ing his trade to Vancou-ver from Calgary in late October, has eight in his past 11.

Benson, a 17-year-old projected to be a poten-tial fi rst round pick in next sumer’s National Hockey League Entry Draft, has four goals and 12 assists in the recent run, after totalling just nine appoints in the previous 15 games.

Th e Giants will likely need to play .500 hockey over the fi nal half of the season to reach the playoff s. If they play up to the standard set in December, they will achieve that goal.

BLUE LINES: Th e Giants will have nine prospects playing in the Mac’s Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary this week. Th e tour-nament, which began Saturday (Dec. 26) and runs through to Friday (Jan. 1).

Th ree prospects are with the Yorkton Maul-ers. Th ey include de-fenceman Kaleb Bulych, a 2015 second round draft pick, and forwards Kaeden Taphorn (2015 third round selection) and Tristyn DeRoose.

Goaltender David Tendeck, selected in the sixth round of the 2014 draft, will be playing with the Vancouver Giants of the BC Hockey Major Midget League. Other Giants prospects currently on teams from the B.C. league playing in Calgary are forwards Haydn Delorme (2015 ninth round pick), forward Haydn Delorme of the Vancouver Chiefs and James Malm (2014 second round pick) of the Valley West Hawks.

Jordan Biro was picked up as an affi liate player by the Sherwood Park Kings of the Alber-ta Midget AAA Hockey League. Th e forward was listed by the Giants this past summer.

Alex Kannok-Keipert, a defenceman, will play for the Regina Pat Cana-dians. He was a fourth round pick in 2014.

Defenceman Austin King-Cunningham, listed this past fall, will play for the Moose Jaw Generals.
