Two trustees fail in parent ‘report card’ BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

Local students aren’t the only ones receiving report cards this spring. School District 40 trustees also had their performances graded at a meeting of the district parent advisory council last week. “The grade is based on attendance at parent council meetings, and there were only two different marks: As and Fs,” said Margot Barton, former chair of the district parent council. “I was tempted to do comments and give them privately as you would with kids’ report cards, but

we had a look at the mandate we received and decided we would be circumspect instead.” School trustee Jim Goring initially suggested the initiative for members of school parent advisory councils (PAC), which represent New Westminster public schools, to give feedback to the district parent advisory council on the performance of their school’s trustee liaison. Goring, Casey Cook, Michael Ewen and board chair James Janzen were all given As for attendance. Trustees Brent Atkinson and Lori Watt were both flunked by their respective parent advisory councils.

“Neither of them have attended any meetings in the past two years,” said Barton. Lisa Graham, who resigned from her duties due to a family health matter, was also given a provisional F because the position she held has yet to be filled. Parent advisory council (PAC) meetings often fall on Tuesdays, which can conflict with school board meetings, held during the school year on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. “It’s hard to be in two places at once,” pointed out trustee Brent Atkinson. “I refuse to go to one just to make an appearance

and then leave after the first 20 minutes and end up being late for a board meeting, which is my primary responsibility. If they schedule a meeting for Tuesday at seven o’clock, you’d think whoever organizes the PAC meetings would know those are the nights there are school board meetings. “It’s a good line of communication, and I’d like to be able to attend and hear what concerns they’ve got and answer any questions at the end of the meeting, but I can’t do that if they hold them on Tuesdays. We open up the lines of communication as best we can.” ◗Trustees Page 10

Rain doesn’t stop the Hyack fun

It takes a lot more than drizzle to rain on the Hyack Parade. More than 140 floats made their way through uptown New Westminster on Saturday for the annual Hyack Parade. The parade began with the Vancouver Police motorcycle drill team performing their innovative formations just before the 11 a.m. kickoff. And once the parade began,

marching bands from all over the Pacific Northwest marched with multicultural groups, arts groups and community groups. At the same time, the Uptown Street Fair was taking place, with live entertainment and performances by the Vancouver Circus School. Right after the parade were two big contests: the Toonie Ball Lottery, with numbered

balls being rolled down Sixth Street to Queens Avenue; and the best decorated dining room chair, won by youngster Legend Bennett with an environmentally inspired green deck chair. Legend won a $250 gift certificate. The two other big events on Saturday were an open house at city hall and a rose planting by the Portland Royal Rosarians.

◗ QUEEN’S PARK

Friends mourn loss of memorial stone Stone in park was painted in honour of man who died one year ago

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A Surrey woman is appealing for assistance in locating a memorial stone that has disappeared from its yearlong home in Queen’s Park. Karline Wishart visited Queen’s Park on Monday, May 24, the one-year anniversary of the death of her good friend Mike Oxtoby. After he died suddenly of a heart attack, Wishart painted a memory stone in his honour and placed it in Queen’s Park. “I stood there for a few seconds. I didn’t know what to do,” she said about discovering the rock was missing. “I felt like I lost my friend all over again.” While Wishart and Oxtoby both live in Surrey, they often stopped in Queen’s Park to have coffee. The memory stone had been located near a picnic table at the north end of the park, near Sixth Avenue and First Street. “It’s about the size of a football. It was heavy,” she said. “It has got a Honda Goldwing motorcycle painted on it with white and purple flowers, his name on top of it, his date of birth and the date of his passing.”

Wishart and Oxtoby were riding partners. They’d often go for motorcycle rides, stopping at Queen’s Park to have a coffee. “We used to go there all the time,” she said of the local park. “We would even go there in the wintertime and sit there and have our coffee.” Wishart said she isn’t an artist but was inspired to paint the memory stone in her friend’s memory. “I just wanted to do this. I thought maybe to have a memory place, if his friends wanted to have a place where they could have coffee,” she said about the stone that was tucked into an out-of-the-way space. “There is really only four or five of us who know where it is. It was in the hollow of a tree. You have to walk right up to the tree to see it.” Workers in the city’s parks department were aware of the stone but didn’t move it as it didn’t get in the way of equipment used for mowing or maintaining the grounds. “He (Mike) made a joke about the tree,” she recalled. “He had new shoes with a weird print. He put his footprint there and said, I have marked my place.” Wishart asks anyone who finds the stone or knows of its whereabouts to call her, no questions asked, at 604-314-2897 or return it to the park. “It’s heartbreaking for me,” she said of its loss. “Mike’s friends would like it back.”

OUR VIEW

ous: profit. Of course, not all of the foods sold in drug stores or grocery stores are healthy, and the argument could be made that pop and chips do as much damage to some people as cigarettes do to others. The difference, though, is that people who damage their health through overconsumption of fatand sugar-laden foods don’t harm others, at least directly. Smokers, however, impact other people’s health, no matter how considerate they try to be of non-smokers. Even new rules banning smoking within three

metres of doorways to public buildings just mean that smokers huddle on sidewalks, where non-smokers have to hold their breath as they walk by. How can we, as a society, justify allowing pharmacies to continue selling cigarettes? They’re still visible to children, since the covers put in place to hide them from view have to be opened each time a clerk takes a package out. What kind of message does selling cigarettes in the same place as medicine send to kids? The wrong one.

Public may end up voting on HST IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

John Slater. Richard Lee. Terry Lake. Pat Pimm. Dave Hayer. Eric Foster. Recognize any of those names? I didn’t think so. They are all MLAs, all members of the B.C. Liberal government backbench (a status that virtually guarantees a cloak of anonymity). And they all sit on an obscure legislative committee that has never actually met but which is about to play a pivotal role in determining the fate of the harmonized sales tax in this province. The select standing committee on legislative initiatives will be given the task of what to do with that anti-HST petition that continues to collect signatures. I’ve written in this space before that despite the obvious unpopularity of the HST, the B.C. Liberal government is unlikely to repeal the tax on its own, even as it tumbles off a cliff in public opinion. Last week, Premier Gordon Campbell said he will “follow the law” and hand the petition off to the committee, which will be faced with two avenues of possible action.

2007 WINNER

The committee will either turn the petition’s language into a piece of legislation to be tabled in the legislature, or it will submit the petition to a general referendum across the province. Recently, I speculated the referendum route was unlikely, but now I’m not so sure. The reason for rethinking this possibility is that like many other people, I neglected to go back and review the legislation governing referendums in this province. The law states that 50 per cent of all voters in this province must vote in favour in order for a referendum question to pass and become legislation. Not 50 per cent of those who bother to vote – but 50 per cent of the near three million registered voters in B.C. Will 1.5 million people vote to repeal the HST? That’s the number that is required, and while it’s certainly possible, it may prove too high a number to attain. To put this in context, remember that in the 2009 election, only 1.6 million people even bothered to vote. In other words, almost every single person who voted last time – for whatever party – would have to vote yes in a referendum to repeal the HST in order for it to pass. To put it another way, the anti-HST petition, while very successful (much to my surprise, I admit) is still a long way from attracting 1.5 million signatures.

Dear Editor:

Re: Liberals Never Promised Not to Bring in HST: Hansen, Letters to the editor, The Record, May 22 Let me see if I understand the (finance) minister’s use of an HST quotation correctly. He claims that the HST “is not something that is contemplated in the B.C. Liberal platform.” Was this supposed to lead the voters to believe that the HST was not ruled out in the B.C. Liberal platform? Is the reader expected to presume that the HST may be considered or planned or getting organized somewhere in secret, but that it’s not the public’s right to know in advance, and if HST is announced just after an election, nothing has been said, promised or broken? How can anyone interpret it this way? The main question is: What is to stop any reader

from presuming that the quote means there will be no HST in the foreseeable future? If this presumption is wrong, what does the quote mean? To assert that “such is the case” is to deny that “such is not the case.” If the quote does not deny anything, it does not really say anything. What, then, is it supposed to mean? The letter’s answer is raising more questions than explanations, and I have yet to see what sense it is supposed to make for the readers. Terry Hilmar, New Westminster

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ‘Dump-off’ term appalling ◗ continued from page 6

West, would use the same expression “dump-off” in relation to the body found in the apartment parking lot on Royal Avenue if the victim were a relative of his. I find it a very poorly chosen and offensive description for a suspected murder victim. It is likely the fellow was a distant relative of mine. I have not seen any of the family for almost 40 years. Calling the ending of someone’s life a “dump-off” is appalling. Show at least some sensitivity, Mr. Mayor. Barbara Berry, New Westminster

Pier park is over budget

Dear Editor:

In recent editorials, the media was espousing the virtues of this wonderful (Westminster Pier Park) project. Our elected mayor and council support this project; the provincial and federal government supplied money for this project, but what about the taxpayer? Did anyone ask us if we wanted to spend more than $1,033 for every man, woman and child living in New Westminster on a park? This is based on the reported cost of $54 million to complete the park, adding $8 million to purchase the park and divided by the 60,000 residents of New Westminster. When the mayor announced the land purchase for $8 million and a complete park for $25 million in 2009, did he do his homework? Or did he rush into this announcement as an election goodie for the people of New Westminster? I cringed when I read the city administrator quoted as saying, “It’s not going

over budget.” Mr. Daminato, the park is over budget! We are only getting half the park! Followed by, and I quote, “We’re managing the project in such a way that we control the money.” Yes, you certainly do, with the recent mayor’s and council’s approval of a $17-million loan bylaw for the park, thus providing the city an option to borrow an additional $9 million if they need to. Was this bylaw passed knowing it was going over budget? Is this the control the city is talking about? Is the cost to borrow this money included in the estimated $62 million for the park? A promise of a complete park for $25 million by March 2011 is now simply just not true. The pier is not the first project to go over budget and likely won’t be the last. However, considering the multimillions of dollars at stake, this could be the biggest in New Westminster’s history. James Crosty, New Westminster

Thanks for HST coverage

Dear Editor:

First, I would like to commend The Record for the coverage of the HST. It is media such as yours that can help citizens of our communities make positive results in our province. I would also like to thank all the citizens of New Westminster for their dedication and commitment to fighting the HST. We are all volunteers fighting for our right to have honesty in government, no matter what political party is in charge. It does not matter what (the premier) throws at us after July 5. We have won and will remember. Barbara Der, New Westminster

That would be a very impressive accomplishment, but he’d still be a half-million signatures short of what’s required in a referendum. Another important factor to consider is the timing of the referendum. By law, it’s not to happen until Sept. 24, 2011. After more than one year actually living with the full impact – negative and positive – of the HST, will 1.5 million people still turn out to vote to repeal it? For these reasons, the referendum appears to be

the most enticing option open to a government hellbent on keeping the tax. The B.C. Liberals are likely to bet that when all is said and done 16 months from now, not enough people will get out and vote to get rid of the HST. But, then again, many people discounted the chances of the anti-HST petition succeeding and were proven dead wrong. History shows that tax revolts don’t last very long, but we may be in uncharted waters with the HST. The prospects of a recall campaign against one or more Liberal MLAs is still a real possibility, even if a referendum is promised. In any event, the white-

hot issue will soon be handed off to that group of anonymous B.C. Liberal backbenchers (one has to wonder whether Campbell will alter the makeup of the committee to give his side more experience). Of course, the premier will be telling his backbenchers what to do (the NDP has four members as well). Nevertheless, it seems odd that the fate of the B.C. Liberal government is about to be turned over to six people with very little political experience between them. But, as the premier says, that’s the law. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Salmonbellies pay tribute to soldiers BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Senior Salmonbellies and the Royal Westminster Regiment continue to forge a community alliance. The second annual Seats for Soldiers lacrosse game will take place in Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday, June 3 at 7:45 p.m.AllArmed Forces, Legion members, veterans, cadets and their families will get in free to the June 3 game between the Salmonbellies and the Victoria Shamrocks. “They have 24 soldiers that have just got back from Afghanistan,” said Dan Richardson, president of the New Westminster Salmonbellies. “We are very hopeful we are going to have them on the floor as well.” People are encouraged to wear their uniforms, regimental blazers or red to support Canadian troops. The event will feature military displays, military bands, bagpipers, a beverage garden and the new ’Bellies camouflage jersey. “We are going to be giving away Canadian flags. We have got 3,000 flags. We are hoping everyone who comes wears red,” said David MacGrotty, who chairs the event on the Salmonbellies’ behalf. “We have 2,200 pins that we are giving away. They are military pins.” MacGrotty said the camouflage jersey will be reserved for the annual Seats for Soldiers event. “Because the regiment is

in New Westminster, that is obviously our first contact,” he said. “As far as the Canadian Forces go, we are in full support.” Partial proceeds from the event will go to the Military Family Resources Centre, which assists families with various needs when their loved ones are serving abroad. About two years ago, Richardson received an e-mail from a woman who was looking for a Salmonbellies T-shirt to send her partner who was stationed in Afghanistan. Richardson found sponsors who helped send some items to soldiers in Afghanistan – 25 sticks, balls, hats, T-shirts and a goalie stick. In return the organization received a video of soldiers playing lacrosse on an outdoor box at the base in Afghanistan. Late last year, the team’s players and management signed a jersey that was sent over to Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, as did the Vancouver Canucks, the Whitecaps and the B.C. Lions. The jersey is now on display at Canada House in Kabul. The Senior Salmonbellies also reached out to the Royal Westminster Regiment, and the idea of a Seats for Soldiers event was born. “They were very receptive. That is what started last year’s Seats for Soldiers,” Richardson said. “We got about 2,500 people in that night. It was a great success. This year it’s going to be bigger and better.”

Little League tourney goes on despite theft BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

When Stephanie Howell got the call from husband Gary Hepting on Friday morning, she thought it was a joke gone terribly wrong. “When Gary told me somebody had stolen our copper wiring, I didn’t think it had happened at all,” said Howell, the fundraising and sponsorship coordinator for New Westminster Baseball. “But when he told me it was no joke, I think I swore more that morning than I ever have in my life.” Howell and Hepting, along with two other electricians, had spent more than 12 hours on Thursday completing the wiring for the newly installed scoreboard at Justin Morneau Field in Moody Park. When the rain came late Thursday, the crew packed up their things at 10 p.m., with the plan to return in the morning to get the last hour of work done. When Hepting arrived Friday at 9 a.m., he found the surprise that had his wife

swearing up a storm. “It’s unbelievable in that short time frame that somebody tried to undo all the good work we had done,” said Howell. Howell said it appears someone tried to tug more of the wire out, leaving plier marks on the wiring left behind. The thieves made off with seven strands of wire, each only about three feet in length. Hepting and Howell got to work splicing new wires together, and they got everything functional in time for the 6 p.m. start of the tournament on Friday. “We got the lights working with a temporary fix,” said Howell. “When the weather gets better, we’ll do a more permanent fix.” While the tournament got started on time, the rain meant only four of 12 games on Saturday got completed. Organizers caught up on Sunday, completing the final 18 games by 9 p.m. The scoreboard was purchased by the New Westminster Baseball Association with funds from its many sponsors.

awn Black and Peter Julian may no longer be on the same team in Ottawa, but they’ve joined forces on a local initiative. Black, who is now New Westminster’s MLA in Victoria and Julian, Burnaby-New Westminster’s member of Parliament, are teaming up to host the sixth annual 12th Street Cleanup. This year’s event takes place on Saturday, June 5. “Please mark the date on your calendar and plan to attend and help us clean up litter along 12th Street,” said an e-mail from Black. “It is not heavy work, and many hands will make the job go quickly.” Participants will meet at 10 a.m. in the parking lot at 1170 Eighth Ave. (at 12th Street) behind Community Savings Credit Union and go out into the neighbourhood for an hour or two. People should wear comfortable clothing and shoes. At noon, members of the New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society will serve up a free barbecue lunch for volunteers.

The Royal City’s theatre history takes centre stage at this weekend’s history tour. A Sense of History Research Services is hosting a tour about the history of performances, theatre productions and travelling entertainment in New Westminster. At one time, the city’s downtown had presentations of various types in two opera houses, two drill halls, six or seven movie houses, numerous other halls and large rooms, church halls and churches, and right out on the main street. The tour, which will point out the sites of many presentations and theatrical events, stages and characters, is on Sunday, June 6. It starts at 1:30 p.m. in front of New Westminster City Hall at the corner of Royal Avenue at Sixth Street and will weave its way through downtown to Columbia Street, Town Page 12

We also had an indoor playland complete with a pirate ship, and it was a great place for the younger kids.” The festival also included food exhibits and information on the future direction of Queensborough. “We are a growing community that is always looking to the future,” said organizer Renee Chadwick.

‘Shredathon’ set

The New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society hopes its upcoming shredathon could become as popular as its annual Christmas tree chipping event. Each January, the charitable society runs a two-day Christmas tree chipping event to raise funds that it disperses to a wide variety of charities in the community. Instead of chipping trees, the society will soon be shredding paper to raise funds. “Everything is 100 per cent by donation,” said Glen Bailey, vice-president of the charitable society. “It all goes to the firefighters’ charitable society.” Individuals and businesses are welcome to bring any sensitive material or paperwork to the June 19 event, where it will be immediately shredded by a professional shredding company and then recycled. The shredathon takes place on Saturday, June 19 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Canada Games Pool parking lot. “It’s pretty much unlimited paper as long as it is in a container the average

All activities at the event will be by donation. “G&F Financial is going to be there with their popcorn (machine),” Bailey said. “BCAA is going to have a little booth with information about their products. Their manager, Marguerite Murray, approached us with this idea.” Bailey said several environmental groups are expected to attend and provide information about their efforts.

Yam Jam puts young artists in the spotlight

The talents of Royal City youth will be in the spotlight this weekend at the annual Yam Jam festival. The Yam Jam Youth Arts Fest is coming to Hyack Square on Saturday, June 5, showcasing the talents of young artists in theatre, dance, music and visual arts. The festival – Yam Jam stands for Youth Arts Movement Jamboree – has been running for more than 10 years and has taken place in a variety of locations, including Massey Theatre, Mercer Stadium and Moody Park. This year, performances will take place at Hyack Square and at venues along Columbia Street and around downtown. The programming consists of two parts. First, from noon to 4 p.m., there will be an artist’s village at Hyack Square – with art displays and sales, information and resource tables, and performing arts on the stage. Then, from 7 to 10 p.m., youth bands will take over for a showcase concert. This year, downtown businesses have

also joined in the fun – a scavenger hunt exploring downtown will be hosted by participating businesses throughout the daytime portion of the festival, and participants will have a chance to win prizes. Besides performing and showing off their art, youth are also involved in many aspects of behind-the-scenes preparation for the festival. Youth competed in a contest for a new logo design, and winner Nadia Nachtigahl had the opportunity to work with a professional graphic design team from Synergist Communications to polish her design. The logo will be used on promotional items and as a component of the set design at Hyack Square. Members of Massey Theatre’s youth tech club are creating the site design for Hyack Square for the occasion. Yam Jam is a partnership of the Arts Council of New Westminster, the City of New Westminster youth services, the School District No. 40 community schools program, Massey Theatre and the Downtown New Westminster BIA.

Blast from the past for the BC Lions as den moves back to Empire Field Construction is almost complete on the temporary stadium at Empire Field that the BC Lions will call home for the 2010-11 season. The home opener in the Lions’ temporary den will be on June 21 against Edmonton. For some fans, it will be a brand new experience. For others, it will provide a taste of the past. “We have a tremendous opportunity in 2010 to provide our fans with a season to remember as we return to the birthplace of Lions football for the ﬁrst time in 27 years,” said George Chayka, the Lions’ vice-president of business.

Empire Field, along with driving directions and parking information. Completely enclosed on all four sides with an approximate seating capacity of 27,500, the new Lions’ den at Empire Field will be a cosy ﬁt for fans. Individual seats totaling 20,100 will run along the side lines and another 7,400 bench-style seats will occupy the end zones. Sideline seats between the goal lines will be covered and a limited number of private boxes will also be constructed along with media facilities, concessions, stadium level lighting, scoreboards, a video board and washrooms.

Quick Facts:

The one-year move to Empire Field became necessary following the announcement late last year that construction on a new retractable roof for BC Place would not be completed until July 2011. The BC Lions will host the 99th Grey Cup at BC Place in November 2011.

’Bellies use overtime to win again

KNIGHTS 4-3 AT ULTIMATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Captains two: St. Thomas More Knight captains, Michael Luongo, with disc, and Sandra Waldun, backing him up, right, led the Burnaby independent to a sixth-place ﬁnish in the senior Tier 1 division at the B.C. high school ultimate championships at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East Saturday.

Knights in top six

The St. Thomas More Knights finished among the top six at the B.C. high school ultimate championships for a third straight year. The Knights, seeded eighth going into the Tier 1 senior coed division, finished the two-day competition with a sixth-place finish. Last year,

STM placed fourth overall. The Knights placed second in their pool with a 3-1 record behind eventual B.C. champion York House/St. George’s Saturday. STM defeated Richmond Secondary 13-8 in a final placement game Sunday.

For a second straight week, the New Westminster Salmonbellies needed overtime at home to keep their undefeated record intact. In a similar scoreline to a 17-14 extra-time win over Langley in its Western Lacrosse Association home opener, New Westminster got by a game Nanaimo Timbermen side 15-11 following a 10-minute overtime at Queen’s Park Arena May 27. Two weeks ago, the Salmonbellies allowed Langley to take control of a 12-goal opening period with six straight goals. Last week, New Westminster were cruising along on a 7-4 clip in the middle period before Nanaimo replied with five unanswered goals. In both games it took a late third-period surge, sparked by lefthander Jordan Hall to position the home side for the overtime comeback. Player of the game Martin Cummings with a career-high four goals got things started with his second goal of the game midway through the third period. Hall and team scoring leader Cliff Smith then tallied to tie the game at 11 apiece. In OT, New Westminster was again perfect, outscoring the T-Men 4-0, including the game-winner on

Cummings’ first of a backto-back pair to start the period. “We’re waiting until the last 10 minutes of the game before we elevate our game,” said Cummings, who has 10 points in his first four games and is scoring on a .412 per cent clip. The team’s last two home wins have been a doubleedged sword for last season’s Mann Cup finalists, added Cummings. “We’ve played better on the road and we have to carry our road game back home,” Cummings said. “In the second period we were slow on our feet. We have to push the tempo and push the transition up the floor.” Tyler Richards, who was yanked early in the second period in the home opener, went the distance against Nanaimo making 48 stops for the ’Bellies. Ilija Gajic played his first game for the Salmonbellies against Nanaimo and contributed five points, including a pair of goals to the win. First-round draft pick Corbyn Tao tallied his first senior A hat trick in a five-point outing for New Westminster. The Salmonbellies take on the Victoria Shamrocks on Seats for Soldiers night at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday at 7:45 p.m. All armed forces, legion members, cadets and their families will be admitted to the game for free.

Junior middie named Div. 1 player of the year BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The top draft pick in the Western Lacrosse Association this season is also No. 1 in the eyes of the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association. Stony Brook University junior midfielder Kevin Crowley was named the USILA’s most outstanding Division I player of the year on May 28. Crowley was in Baltimore, Maryland this weekend to receive the Lt. Raymond J. Enners Award as the NCAA’s top player.

Crowley had one of the best seasons ever by a Stony Brook varsity lacrosse player, posting a single-season record 51 goals and 26 assists in 17 games. The 6-4 New Westminster product is the only player in school history in the top five in both goals and assists, with 101 tallies and 75 helpers, respectively. He is currently just 26 points shy of the school’s all-time record of 201 points. “It’s a huge honour to be chosen for the Enners Award,” said Crowley in Stony Brook press release. “I wouldn’t be named

to this award if it weren’t for my teammates making great plays around me. 2010 was a great season. The team, coaches, administration and Stony Brook community have been awesome and we’re looking forward to a great 2011.” Crowley is just the fourth junior since 1995 to earn the Enners Award. Just the day before, Crowley was named to the association’s All-American team, the first-ever first team selection for a Stony Brook player. Junior Stony Brook teammate

Jordan McBride was also named an All-American to the third team. McBride, an honourable mention All-American in his first two seasons at Stony Broook, scored 48 goals this season, a career best. He also became the program’s all-time leading goal scorer and is the first player in school history to score at least 40 goals goals in three consecutive seasons. Stony Brook finished the season with a record of 13-4, advancing to the NCAA national Div. 1 quarter-finals for the first time in school history. The Seawolves

won nine straight games en route to a sixth overall ranking in the nation, the highest ever in program history. Earlier this month, Crowley was also named the unanimous choice as America East player of the year and is a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award, which is handed out to the most outstanding player in Div. 1 lacrosse each season. The winner of the Tewaaraton Award will be named in a ceremony at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian on Thursday.

Singles title for N.W. teen

New Westminster ’s Anthony Schonberger won the men’s singles A title at the Racquetball Canada national championships at Rev’s Fitness Centre in Burnaby Saturday. Schonberger swept the A final, defeating third seed Dave Trembley of Saskatchewan 15-9 and 1513 to win the men’s gold. Schonberger dropped just one game along the way, a three-set victory over

eventual bronze medallist Terry Nelson of Ontario in the semifinals. Nelson had earlier knocked off top seed Paul Huseon of B.C. in the quarter-finals in a three-setter. Schonberger, the fourth overall seed, defeated fifth seed Evan Pritchard of Manitoba in straight sets in his opening match. Burnaby’s Sebastien Boissonneult was knocked out of the men’s singles

open red draw by Kevin Caouette of Alberta. Boissonneault and Caouette then teamed up in men’s doubles, but again failed to make the red group final. Dorys Boissonneault made it to the finals of the women’s singles B red group, but lost to Deborah Leclair of B.C. 15-13 and 15-5. Dorys beat Susan Livingston of Manitoba in the semifinal 15-7, 15-10.
