Major food drive begins The 24th annual Christmas hamper program is underway

By Jennifer Lang The donation drive has begun for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper program, a community effort to serve the needs of local families and residents who might otherwise go without during the holiday season.

Now in its 24th year, the program relies on the support of residents, businesses, churches and schools in Cloverdale.

The non-denominational program is coordinated and run through Pacific Community Church, home to the Cloverdale Community Kitchen.

Schools are among the largest contributors of food donations. This year’s campaign has re-ignited a good-natured rivalry between Clayton Heights Secondary and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, says program lead Cheryl Blake.

LTS handily won last year, but victory is far from certain in 2015.

“I heard Clayton Heights is not going to go down in flames!” laughs Blake.

Organizers are gearing up for at least as many recipients as last year, when nearly 300 hampers helped more than 600 people, and represented 50,000 pounds of food.

Hampers are filled with staple food items and non-perishables, and are invited to pick up a toy or gift for their children and teenagers.

Recipients are also given grocery store

gift cards, enabling them to purchase a turkey or ham, so they have all the fixings for a holiday meal.

Blake is encouraging businesses to forgo their annual Christmas party and instead donate what they would have spent on a celebration to the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program – a gesture that will help people in their community.

Hundreds of donation boxes have been placed at locations throughout the community. You’ll find them at stores, schools and businesses, thanks to the tireless volunteers from the Surrey Association for Community Living.

Donation suggestions include nonperishable food items, gift and grocery cards, toiletries and personal care items.

Gifts for teenagers and boys aged 8 to 12 are always in need.

“Everybody likes to buy a doll for a little girl,” says Blake, adding, “Teenagers are hard to buy for” too. She suggests people think about what they would put in their own teenager’s stocking.

Hamper pick up day is Saturday, Dec. 19 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.).

The week leading up to that, the warehouse at Pacific Community Church acts as a nerve centre and assembly line, as volunteers sort donations and assemble hundreds of hampers.

The program was founded by Jacob

Soldier fights for his life

By Monique Tamminga A 29-year-old Abbotsford man who survived the battlefields of Afghanistan is now in hospital fighting for his life after being hit by a pick up truck on 232 Street on Thursday night, Nov. 12.

It was a torrential downpour at the time.

According to the GoFund-

me page John Lowe’s Recovery Fund, he phoned his dad, Ray, who said he would pick up a gas can and meet him at the truck. When his dad arrived, there was no one in the truck, but he did see a large contingent of emergency vehicles and lights flashing closer to the Chevron gas station.

Police seek witnesses in possible abduction attempt

By Jennifer Lang A six-year-old boy may have been the target of an abduction attempt last week in the Cloverdale area.

Surrey RCMP issued an alert Sunday morning asking for the public’s help in looking for information that will help confirm what took place.

They are hoping to hear from anyone who may have seen an older-model Dodge pickup being driven in the 6100-block of 194A Street, at about

5:30 p.m. on Nov. 12.

Police say it’s believed adult two males were in the vehicle.

The Surrey RCMP’s general investigations unit is continuing to collect evidence and speak to anyone in the area who may have witnessed what occurred, the release states.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.

People can ‘give where they live’ Schuurman and his wife Ida, who ran the program for 17 years.

Kevin and Trish Lunder acted as program leads for the last four years.

“I want to be involved,” says Blake, who works for Community Living B.C. and has seen “the tremendous impact” Pacific Community Church and the Cloverdale Community Kitchen has had on the community.

“It’s the opportunity for people to give where they live. It’s their friends and neighbours and their children’s friends at school that are going to benefit.”

The program provides low income and struggling Cloverdale area residents with hampers at Christmas, serving residents in the following boundaries: between 80 Avenue and 40 Avenue (North-south), and from 196 Street to 164 Street (east-west).

Application deadline is Tuesday, Dec. 8.

e’ve all been there, driving down a poorly lit stretch of road in the pouring rain, desperately trying to make out the lane markers and trying to see past the windshield wipers screeching at full speed.

All of a sudden a cyclist or another car veers into your lane, a pedestrian crosses in front of you, or your own vehicle begins to hydroplane out of control on a wet street.

Between November and January, speed-related crashes resulting in injuries or fatalities increase by more than 50 per cent across the province, according to ICBC. There are on average 250 crashes a month in those months.

Driving too fast for the conditions is a major factor.

Supremely bad idea To the editor; Re: “Truck park planned near Little Campbell River,” Sept. 23 This is a really bad idea, obviously brought forward for political payback reasons.

winter months, many motorists find themselves spending more time behind the wheel after dark.

Many, too, are more rushed, as the hustle and bustle of the holidays takes its toll.

While it is crucial that motorists exercise more caution, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users share a responsibility to make themselves seen in the dark.

Non-drivers may think they’re visible to motorists, but wearing reflective clothing, installing lights on a bike, or carrying a flashing light of some sort is the best way to help ensure you’ll

The numbers are clear: motorists in general can see pedestrians and cyclists with reflective or flashing items from up to 500 feet away. Without such items – or worse, if you’re wearing dark clothing – that number drops down to 100 feet before most drivers have a chance of seeing you.

To the joggers, walkers, cyclists and other road-users out there, don’t assume you’ll be seen.

Leaving your safety to chance is not a risk anyone should take, at this time of year or any other.

Dentists use x-rays for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. It is possible for both tooth decay and periodontal disease to be missed during a visual exam alone. Most people will have 4 small x-rays taken once a year during one of their cleaning visits. These are used to detect hidden decay and changes in bone density caused by gum disease.

Metro cities prepare for influx of refugees Many Syrian refugees are expected to come to Surrey, a top place to settle

By Jeff Nagel Up to 3,000 Syrian refugees are predicted to come to Metro Vancouver as a result of the new federal government’s push to bring 25,000 to Canada by the end of the year.

And residents across the region are being urged to volunteer, donate and even open their homes to assist the incoming refugees once they arrive.

At least 10 per cent of Syrian refugees coming to Canada so far have come to B.C., and of those, the vast majority settle in Surrey, followed by surrounding cities such as Burnaby, New Westminster, Delta, Coquitlam and Richmond.

All of the 43 government-assisted Syrian refugees who have arrived in B.C. in 2015 have settled in those communities, and 26 of them are in Surrey.

“Surrey is expected to continue being the number-one destination,” said Chris Friesen, executive director of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. He estimates Surrey alone could welcome 800 Syrian refugees and roughly 300 of them could be school age – 40 per cent are expected to be under 19 years old – triggering a scramble for classroom space (see story page 8).

Friesen said a website is being launched at issbc.org/refugee-crisis where Metro residents Judy Villeneuve can find forms to volunteer and suggest accommodation options and other assistance.

“For those who are interested in private sponsorship we have a fund in place so people can make a donation towards a sponsorship if they don’t want to take the whole thing on.”

A regional emergency planning meeting was set for Nov. 16 to coordinate the response of various agencies. Representatives of municipalities, school boards, health authorities and the Red Cross are to attend.

“We’re trying to be proactive as a region,” said Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, adding refugees will need help with health, professional services and clothing, in addition to housing.

“That way we can be ahead of the game as a large number of refugees arrive.”

What’s not yet known is how many incoming Syrians will be housed initially on military bases and how many will need immediate housing,

Friesen said. They’re looking mainly for hotels and motels on transit routes with kitchenettes for short-term stays.

“For longer term housing we’re looking for everything – basement suites, rooms in people’s houses, cottages not being used, houses or apartments that are vacant.”

Emergency housing protocols could also be invoked to temporarily house arriving Syrians in cots on gym floors, church halls and arenas, if necessary.

By Sheila Reynolds The Surrey School District is anticipating 500 or more new students will enter local classrooms as an influx of Syrian refugees come to B.C. in the coming weeks.

Surrey is expected to be the number-one destination for refugees coming to the Metro Vancouver area. About 3,000 are expected by the end of the year, with approximately one-third predicted to reside in Surrey.

A large percentage of those are expected to be school-aged children.

School district communications manager Doug Strachan said staff at the district’s Welcome Centre have been examining the logistics of taking in so many new students since shortly after the federal election.

“We’ve been doing the best we can, but it has been difficult without having solid details,” said Strachan.

The Welcome Centre has been around for the past six years and has settlement and multicultural workers who help immigrant and refugee families new to the community and local schools. Staff there assess student needs and assist in setting them up in classrooms with appropriate supports.

“We’re prepared,” said Strachan, “however, we need resources given the volume we expect.”

He said more language and assessment specialists will be nec-

essary. As well, transportation costs could also be an issue as families may not find homes near schools that have space for new students.

‘We’re a pretty full school district, but we do have schools that can accommodate more students.’

- Doug Strachan, School District 36 “We’re a pretty full school district, but we do have schools that can accommodate more students, so it’s a matter of where the families are located and settled,” Strachan said. “We will ensure that the students can get an education.”

There are major school space constraints in three areas of Surrey – Clayton, South Newton and Grandview.

Outside those neighbourhoods, there are available classroom spots.

With an overall enrolment of 70,000, bringing in 500 more teens and kids is “something we can manage,” assured Strachan.

Still, it’s by far the largest influx of refugees the Surrey School District has had to manage.

In the past – such as when refugees were fleeing Burma’s civil

war about seven years ago – the district welcomed maybe 60 to 80 at one time.

“Some of this will have to play out,” said Strachan when asked if more teachers would be required.

“Our main focus right now is getting them settled and into the schools.”

He said school district officials will be meeting with numerous agencies and government representatives this week to get further details and solidify plans.

Motivating school district staff during what could prove a challenging transition, he said, are the success stories of the many refugee families and students who have made their way through Surrey schools.

“What they’ve lived through is just incredible and you see them blossom athletically, academically, and really contribute.”

Enrolment jump already higher Apart from the influx of refugees, nearly four times the number of expected new students flowed into Surrey schools this fall.

While the district predicted overall enrolment to rise by about 250 students this year over last, 950 new children and teens showed up.Most of the new students are at the elementary level.

Loan repayment ‘immoral burden’

Surrey schools brace for rush of refugees

Friesen spoke after federal officials announced they’ve formed a cabinet subcommittee to tackle the logistics of the expedited refugee resettlement.

Military and commercial jets may be used to airlift the refugees to Canada, said John McCallum, the new Liberal government’s minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship.

“Every option is on the table, whatever works, whatever is cost-effective, whatever will get them here safely and quickly,” McCallum told reporters. “We will be looking for close collaboration in the days to come to help make a home for the victims of this tragedy.”

The federal government has stopped requiring private refugee sponsors to raise money to cover health insurance.

They will now be covered the same as government-assisted refugees.

But Villeneuve said she will continue to press Ottawa to forgive transportation loans many refugees have had to promise to repay to cover their commercial flights as part of

Surrey is expected to be the number-one designation for the province’s new wave of refugees, says Chris Friesen of the Immigrant Services Society of B.C.

coming to Canada.

“The elimination of that loan repayment requirement is one of the most important things the federal government can do for new refugees to help get their lives off the ground,” she said.

“I believe it’s an immoral burden on people who have been through so much trauma.”

The transportation loans are

not expected to apply on new Syrian arrivals.

The Immigrant Services Society of B.C. is federally contracted to resettle government-assisted refugees destined for B.C. It has asked the federal government for $6 million to expand its staff by 100 to receive the dramatic increase in refugees.

Truck lot unlikely: Langley Township

By Dan Ferguson The odds are against a controversial proposal to build a 77-acre truck park on 16 Avenue at the Surrey-Langley border, based on what members of Surrey council have told their Langley Township counterparts.

“It may not even get to council,” Langley mayor Jack Froese said following a meeting of the two councils late last month.

Froese said there was “quite an active discussion” at the informal session with Surrey council about the notion of a heavy truck facility in the area south of 16 Avenue near 192 Street.

Froese said he was told that the truck park proposal might not even make it to Surrey council because of the various regulatory hurdles it would have to clear.

“They (project proponents) have a long road to go,” Froese said.

At the meeting, councillor Bob Long said Surrey mayor Linda Hepner promised as a “good neighbour” to keep Langley Township updated.

Opponents of the proposal have warned the truck park could damage the nearby Little Campbell River, a salmon and trout

‘How do they keep the effluent, all the chemicals, all the brake fluids, the antifreeze – how do they keep all the oils out of the river?’

- Phillip Milligan,

Little Campbell River Watershed Society

spawning area.

Brian Coote, of Friends of Hazelmere Campbell Valley told an Oct. 19 meeting of Township council that the truck park could contaminate Brookswood groundwater and called on Langley to formally oppose the proposal.

Another critic, Sofi Hindmarch, told the same meeting the parking facility is in an ecologically sensitive area where at least 13 and as many as 22 threatened species live.

Richter said said her take on the dinner meeting is that Surrey councillors view big rig parking as a major issue that needs to be resolved, and they consider it a regional problem that the provincial government

should address.

Details of the meeting with Surrey were revealed during debate at the Nov. 2 evening meeting of Township council, which voted to put off taking a position on the project until there is a detailed plan

to look at, assuming the proposal ever gets to that stage.

“This isn’t the time for this (a vote on formal opposition to the proposed facility),” mayor Froese said.

“I don’t think a motion to oppose some-

thing we haven’t seen is a good idea,” councillor Angie Quaale said.

Council did vote to have Township staff communicate with their Surrey counterparts about the proposal.

The idea first surfaced at Surrey council

during discussion of industrial development in the South Campbell Heights area.

It came from Surrey Councillor Tom Gill, who said with an estimated 1,300 big rigs parking illegally throughout the city,

something needs to be done to find parking spaces.

The truck park would allow truckers to wash their rigs, change oil and tires, and would include washroom facilities.

Teach online safety in school: experts

By Tom Fletcher Instruction to protect children from “cyberbullying” should be included in B.C.’s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers.

The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012.

Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online.

In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media.

Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then.

“The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means,” Denham and Turpel-Lafond conclude.

THUR NOV 19 – WED NOV 25 Shop Lowes.ca/airmiles

THE

FACEBOOK

Amanda Todd’s video and suicide at age 15 became an international symbol for the dangers of online bullying.

Their report calls for more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, either online or in person.

The report calls for the education ministry to “ensure that developmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.”

Education Minister Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.”

Bernier said the

ministry has developed resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades “about cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.”

Denham and TurpelLafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people have online access outside of school, and that

by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young people’s communications around the clock, or to cut off their access.

“For young people, halting use of social media, websites, cellphones or email accounts is an impractical solution,” the report says. “It would be equivalent to house arrest and social deprivation.”

Important spawning area From page 9

Gill said he would insist on the highest environmental standards so there would be no impact on the Little Campbell River.

Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society, said the Little Campbell River is an important salmon spawning area, home to spring, coho and chum salmon, as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout.

“The Little Campbell, believe it or not, is one of the most productive steelhead rivers in the Lower Mainland,” Milligan said. Because it’s

a relatively small river, any pollutants entering the water could be devastating for the fish population, he said.

“How do they keep the effluent, all the chemicals, all the brake fluids, the antifreeze — how to they keep all of the oils out of the river?”

The development plan would have to undergo a public hearing before it could come to council for approval.

Parm Garcha, one of the proponents, said the truck park wouldn’t proceed unless all concerns are addressed.

Back at the jeep, towels soaked in ice-water keep the heat at bay while we head for Slot Canyon, the cameraready slit created by the North American and Pacific fault plates.

Dwarfed by canyons carved by centuries of erosion and seismic jostling, I am, not for the first time, humbled by nature’s majesty. I try to picture this peculiarly haunting sandscape at sunrise. Fabulous, or frightening? Maybe both.

Three hours later Morgan deposits us back in civilization, although nature makes me question that. I plunge into my Riviera Hotel tub. Sandpapery desert grit cakes my face. It’s an invigorating natural facial scrub.

Probably priceless if packaged.

An elderly couple I’d noticed earlier still sit motionless up in the top gallery. What’s fascinating these two?

Artists, musicians, collectors, food stands and assorted street vendors have commandeered downtown streets from 6-10 p.m.

Daughters Bethel #52 held a celebration – its 50th anniversary.

Past and fraternal members flipped through albums and scrapbooks filled with memories of the past half-century, and enjoyed reminiscing.

Job’s Daughters is an international fraternal organization for girls aged 10 to 20 that teaches leadership, teamwork, and public speaking.

It’s a place to make life-long friends, according to Tara Porter, who met one of her best friends in ‘Jobies’ 31 years ago – at the age of 12.

Jobies can be found across B.C., and around the world, with chapters in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Philippines and Brazil, making it the second-largest organization for girls in the world, according to Porter.

At least 100 people turned out for the celebration, including past Honour Queens, past members and council members.

The Honour Queen holds a six-month term as Bethel leader and members run their own meetings with the support of adults on a council.

Porter joined because she was shy, and wanted to emerge from her shell by meeting new friends – which she did, not just in her home Bethel – but across the Lower Mainland.

“Because of my years in Jobies, I am able to organize events, speak in front of large groups of people, respect people, my community and my country,” she says.

These days, she’s involved as a parent: her daughter joined a year ago. “People typically get involved because

they know someone in Job’s Daughters or have heard of us,” she says.

Its roots as an organization date back to 1920, and its purpose is to band together young girls with Masonic ties to build character and moral and spiritual development, reverence for God and the Holy Scriptures, flag and country, and respect for parents and guardians.

Current members live in Langley and Surrey, and past members live across the country, including Porter, who lived in New Brunswick for 16 years.

“Job’s Daughters is a wonderful organization where girls have fun and learn skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives,” she says.

The group opens up a world of opportunity.

Members learn leadership skills, develop public speaking and positive self-esteem,

and gain experience running business meetings, planning events, doing community service work, and learning respect for others.

Meetings are twice a month, and there are plenty of other events, from attending other Bethel meetings to movie nights, sleep overs, and laying a wreath on Remembrance Day. “We have a lot of

fun.”

There are some open meetings where girls can find out more. Look for Bethel #52 at the North Otter Elementary School craft fair on Nov. 28 and they’ll be face-painting at Alice Brown Elementary School on Dec. 12.

To join, contact your local Bethel. Applicants can be related to a Mason – or sponsored by one.

The region’s real estate prices to keep climbing

ing ladder meant starting in a condo and transitioning to a detached home,” Yu said. “That will no longer be the trend. For most families, the housing ladder will lead from one multi-family unit to another.”

Increasingly scarce land is a reality of the region’s geography that’s hemmed in by the ocean, mountains, U.S. border and the Agricultural Land Reserve, he said.

His report says the trend of double-digit price gains shows little sign of stopping given a severe shortage of inventory in Metro Vancouver and limited land availability for low-density construction.

“Price momentum has also spilled into the neighbouring Fraser Valley area,” Yu said.

Continued record low interest rates and economic and job growth will continue to drive sales and further price momentum in Greater Vancouver through 2016, he added.

The B.C. Real Estate Association projects the Greater Vancouver market will see a 4.5 per cent increase in the average selling price for a residential home to $925,000 in 2016.

That average, which blends

condos, townhomes and detached houses all together, is expected to reach $885,000 in 2015, up 8.9 per cent from $812,652 in 2014.

In the Fraser Valley, the average residential price is projected to have climbed 9.7 per cent to $568,000 this year, up from about $518,000 in 2014, and it’s projected to gain four per cent to $591,000 in 2016.

Chilliwack and district prices are estimated by BCREA to be up 6.9 per cent to $330,000 and projected to gain 1.2 per cent in 2016 to $334,000.

Many consumers have been forced to alter their housing expectations, especially near the urban core, the BCREA report says.

It notes City of Vancouver detached houses make up just five per cent of the total housing stock in Metro Vancouver and those house prices should not be used as a benchmark for affordability in the region.

And the report argues many detached houses are really in effect duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes “as a result of the exploding number of accessory suites.”

There’s a widening gap between detached houses and condos

By Jeff Nagel New real estate forecasts predict Lower Mainland housing prices will continue their ascent to new highs over the next two years.

Central 1 Credit Union projects resale median residential prices of Greater Vancouver homes will climb 6.1 per cent in 2016 and 3.8 per cent in 2017.

Senior economist Bryan Yu says detached houses are becoming “luxury” real estate as “prices that far outpace income affordability fundamentals” increasingly put them out of reach of large portions of the population.

He estimates detached house prices will continue to run up faster – 10 per cent in 2016 and 6.6 per cent in 2017.

Although there may be “some froth” in detached house prices, Yu expects the growing price gap between houses and condos – now at a record $525,000 in Metro – will continue to widen.

That widening price gap will be “difficult if not impossible to bridge” for prospective new buyers and recent condo owners and will effectively be the new norm.

By Jennifer Lang There was a huge turnout for last week’s Remembrance Day service in Cloverdale, where warm, sunny skies prevailed, and crowds packed Surrey Museum Plaza to pay their respects.

People of all ages turned out to honour the sacrifices of Canada’s servicemen and women, joining veterans, RCMP and emergency services personnel, and about a dozen cadet corps.

Three flypasts of vintage warbirds in formation soared overhead. There were reports of a well-timed bald eagle similarly scoping the plaza as the crowd fell silent for the traditional two minutes.

Hundreds paused to reflect and remember those who have served and continue to serve overseas in war zones and on peacekeeping missions.

Surrey mayor Linda Hepner, Surrey MLAs Stephanie Cadieux and Peter Fassbender, and MP-elect John Aldag were among those laying wreaths.

Second World War veteran Hans Anderson, 94, who served from 1941 to 1945, and was taken prisoner in Italy in 1944, laid a wreath on behalf of Prisoners of War. The Remembrance Day services were held under the auspices of Branch 6 of the Royal Canadian

After the colour party led the parade back to the branch, crowds lingered, as people removed their poppies and placed them on top of the Cenotaph.

Surrey’s Cox helps Giants turn it around

By Rick Kupchuk For 57 minutes of Friday’s game at the Pacific Coliseum, the Vancouver Giants seemed headed for a 10th consecutive game without a win.

But Ty Ronning wasn’t about to let that happen. The 18-yearold from Burnaby erased 3-1 deficit against the Kamloops Blazers with two goals in the final two and one-half minutes of regulation time, then assisted on the winning goal by Surrey’s Trevor Cox three minutes into overtime, leading the Giants to a 4-3 victory before a crowd of 4,542.

Ronning now has 12 goals and 18 points in 20 games with the Giants this season, and was named the game’s first star.

The Giants, who are chasing the Blazers for a Western hockey League (WHL) playoff position, fell behind 1-0 after just nine minutes of play, but Surrey’s Matt Barberis tallied his third goal of the year on the powerplay three minutes before the end of the first period to tie the score 1-1.

Kamloops went ahead 2-1 late in the second period, then scored while shorthanded with 15 minutes remaining in the game for a 3-1 lead.

The Giants gambled, and pulled netminder Daniel Wapple with three minutes to go, and seconds later, Ronning gave the Giants hope when he cut the difference to one goal with 2:21 remaining.

Apple was on the bench again when Ronning ripped a shot into the Blazers goal with nine seconds remaining, forcing overtime.

Ronning then fed Cox for the winning goal on a two-on-one rush in overtime. It was the first goal for Cox since he was acquired from the Medicine Hat Tigers two weeks ago.

The Blazers outshot Vancouver 41-32, but the Giants received solid goaltending from Wapple, who made 38 saves for the win.

The Giants had a strong start to the game Saturday, leading 2-0 midway through the first period.

But Portland dominated the rest

of the way, cruising to a two-goal win.

Defencemen Brennan Menell and Barberis scored powerplay goals to give the Giants the early lead, but goals 92 seconds apart pulled the Winterhakws even after 20 minutes.

Portland went up 4-2 in the second period before Ronning scored to get the home team to within one. The Winterhawks held the Giants to just eight shots on goal in the third period, adding to their lead with five minutes to play.

The Giants are now 5-11-2-2 (win-loss-overtime loss-shootout loss) and in the Western Conference basement.

They were at home last night (Tuesday) against the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Eastern Conference. They host Cloverdale native Tyler Soy and the Victoria Royals Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Pacific Coliseum before traveling to the Okanagan for a clash Saturday night with the Kelowna Rockets.

Rivermen rally to snap skid Down 3-0 and 25 minutes away from a sixth straight defeat, the Langley Rivermen rattled off five straight goals to get back in the win column.

The junior A hockey club was in Port Alberni facing the Alberni Valley Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon, their final stop on a road trip which saw them hit the ice three times in less than 72 hours.

After the host ’Dogs jumped to the 3-0 lead, the Rivermen power play got the team back in the contest as Dominic Franco and Justin Szeto scored man advantage markers less than three minutes apart before the second intermission.

And Langley completed the comeback as Ryan Barrow, Justin Fregona and Matthew Graham all scored in a 4:08 span in the latter half of the third period.

The Bulldogs did get within one with their third power play goal of the game will just under two minutes to play, but
