City copswill keeplid on potoperations

When it comes to Canada’snew medical marijuana regula-tions, it’s business as usual for NewWestminster police.

With only weeks remainingbefore new federal medical mari-juana production regulations takeeffect, the New Westminster PoliceDepartment issued a statement onFriday reaffirming the departmentwill continue to enforce the city’sbylaw against marijuana dispen-saries.

Under the new regulations, whichtake effect on April 1, only com-panies licensed by Health Canadawill be permitted to produce anddistribute medical marijuana.

There are currently 10 licensedproducers in Canada, while sev-eral more companies are waitingfor approval. The new regulationsmove the production of medicalmarijuana from homes and back-yards to full-scale industrial pro-duction facilities.

In light of the upcoming changein regulations, the New WestminsterPolice Department issued a state-ment saying the department willcontinue to police dispensaries inthe city.

Medical marijuana dispensariesare illegal in New Westminster andare not issued a business licence,which allows police to shut themdown for a variety of reasons,according to a media release.

Not only can police shut downdispensaries for lack of a business

Great Britain may have the Windsors,but New Westminster has its owndynasty when it comes to May Day.

Ten-year-old Cassidy Tecklenborg, whowas named New Westminster’s 144th MayQueen following a draw in council cham-bers on March 3, won’t have to go far to gettips about the longstanding city tradition,as her grandmother and her aunt were bothMay Queens. Her mom and another auntwere members of the May Queen suite.

“We couldn’t believe it. She woke upthis morning and said, ‘I am so lucky,’”Leslie Nichol said a day after her daughterwas named 2014 May Queen. “We were ina state of disbelief that it could happen. Wewent in thinking the odds were against it.”

Sue Sage, Cassidy’s grandma, was NewWestminster’s May Queen in 1962, andher daughter Carrie Nichol carried on thefamily tradition in 1989. They were thelast two May Queens to represent Richard

McBride Elementary School, with no otherMay Queens from that school between theirreigns – and none since.

“My mom and sister were the onlymother/daughter in 1940 years, and nowit’s mother, daughter, granddaughter,”Leslie said.

Four generations of the family havetaken part in May Day, whether it was serv-ing in the May Queen suite or dancing atMay Day. Cassidy’s great-grandmother,Annie Bennie (née Aston), danced in the1932 May Day.

“It started really with my mom. She wasa Royal Dancer – they were flower girlsback then because they didn’t have boys init,” Sue said. “She loved New Westminster,and she loved May Day.”

Annie, who took her children to MayDay when they were too young to partici-pate, passed down a love of the celebrationto generations of her family.

“May Day has become so important toour family. Doing the lancers (dance) wasjust amazing,” Sue said about traditional

dances done at the May Day banquet.“Even now, that’s the part they remember.”

Sue has donated her May Day memora-bilia, including her dress, crown and photo-graphs, to Irving House. Given the numberof positions in the May Queen suite, andthe fact that F.W. Howay won the MayQueen draw last year, the family thought itwas unlikely Cassidy would be named thisyear’s May Queen.

“It’s very exciting,” said Sue, who was atcouncil chambers when her granddaughterwas named as the city’s 2014 May Queen.“My daughter in 1989 – Cassidy’s aunt, andnow Cassidy, my granddaughter, which isjust unbelievable. I never thought two inthe family, and certainly not three.”

The family’s connections to May Daydon’t end there, as Cassidy’s mom Lesliewas third flower girl in the 1986 MayQueen suite, and her aunt Stacey was sec-ond maid of honour in 1995. Cassidy isecstatic about carrying on the

Recycling rules could be costlyA coalition of B.C. businesses

says consumers will pay big bucksif the provincial government goesahead with new recycling regula-tions on May 19.

Andthey’reaskingEnvironmentMinister Mary Polak and PremierChristy Clark to hit the pause but-ton and rethink the contentiousrecycling rules they say will kill

jobs and increase red tape.“It’s better to hit the pause but-

ton and rethink this rather thanbeing stuck with a bad law onMay 19,” said Mike Klassen,B.C. director of provincial affairsfor the Canadian Federation ofIndependent Business (CFIB).

Nine major business associa-tions representing tens of thou-sands of B.C. small businesses andtheir employees have formed acoalition and launched a campaign

to protest regulatory changesinvolving the recycling of printed-paper and packaging. The RethinkIt, B.C.! campaign is launching amedia and social media blitz withads running in 130 newspapersacross the province.

The new regulations shiftthe responsibility for paying forrecycling packaging and otherpaper products from consum-ers to the products’ producers.Multi-Materials B.C. (MMBC), an

Ontario-based industry group thatincludes grocery giant Loblaws,mega-retailer Wal-Mart and theTim Hortons fast food empire,runs the new program, scheduledto launch May 19.

Klassen said the rule changeswill hurt thousands of businesseswho will have to pass the recyclingcosts on to their customers. TheRethink It, BC! Coalition includesbusinesses in the agriculture,

Sale could get district $2.35MFinally there is some good

news for the cash-strapped NewWestminster school district.

More than $2.35 million is slat-ed to come into the district’s cof-fers after the board of educationpassed a bylaw this week enablingit to sell an empty property it ownsin Queensborough to PlatformDevelopment Limited.

Funds from the sale, which isexpected to close on March 31,must go toward building a newadministration office for the dis-trict.

According to EducationMinistry rules, capital proceedsmust be used for building proj-ects, not operating costs, board ofeducation chair Jonina Campbellexplained.

But the sale will still help thedistrict’s bottom line.

“It’s good news for our district,because what it means (is) we willbe able to get ourselves out of asituation where we are paying fora lease at Columbia Square for anadministrative space. It will freeup that money to then be used forstudents in the district,” Campbellnoted.

The move would save the dis-

trict the approximately $700,000it pays annually to rent ColumbiaSquare downtown.

The district has been dealingwith serious financial shortfalls inrecent years and still owes theprovincial government almost $5million.

The board has turned up everycouch cushion, looking for ways tosave money, including taking stepsto reduce leasing costs. So far, ithas moved both the Homelearners’and an alternate program out ofrental buildings for a saving ofapproximately $300,000 a year.

The district is in the midst ofbuilding two new schools, includ-

ing a middle school for grade 6 to8 students.

Campbell said the board willdiscuss the $17.6-million middleschool project at its meeting onMarch 11.

“We are proceeding on the newschool project as planned,” shesaid, urging parents whose chil-dren will be attending the middleschool to attend Tuesday night’smeeting.

Campbell said the board willlikely discuss where the new boardoffice would be built at that meet-ing. In the meantime, she didn’twant to comment on the plannedlocation.

licence, officers can also arrestindividuals who work in the facil-ities for possession of marijuanafor purposes of trafficking.

Last May, New Westminsterpolice executed a search warrantat a dispensary on 12th Streetand arrested three Vancouverresidents. While charges were

never laid against the individu-als, police seized an undisclosedamount of cash and marijuanafrom the dispensary and the shopclosed its doors shortly after theincident.

According to police, officerswon’t be actively looking for dis-pensaries that may crop up in thecity, but the department will “take

action if the public is at risk byits operation or if information isreceived that marijuana is beingdispensed without a legitimateprescription from a doctor,” therelease explained.

“The New Westminster PoliceDepartment takes complaints bythe public very seriously,” saidChief Const. Dave Jones in the

release. “Many times, we are guid-ed by our public, and although weare not actively seeking out thedispensaries, if members of thepublic report any issues, we willtake action which will includecriminal enforcement.”

The Vancouver PoliceDepartment recently told mediaits officers wouldn’t be enforcing

the new Health Canada regula-tions when it comes to medicalmarijuana dispensaries so longas they are only selling to indi-viduals who hold a permit to usemedical marijuana.

The Vancouver PoliceDepartment says it is aware of atleast 29 illegal medical marijuanadispensaries in the city.

AttentionBrits andOther FishandChipLoversA Tradition Returns Better Than Ever!

They didn’t become the best in the business by throwing salt overtheir left shoulder! Salty’s Fish and Chips simply follows the BritishTradition of providing top quality fish, lightly battered, along withfresh-cut chips.While NewWestminster certainly does not haveany shortage of restaurants serving fish and chip, it’s newest fishand chip shop just might have something to say about who hasthe BEST!

Salty’s Fish and Chips, Unit 19 - 800McBride Blvd.@ 8th, NewWestminster (next to Safeway), puts its best fin forward in open-ing its newest location. If the name seems familiar, it certainlyshould. Salty’s Fish and Chips has been synonymous with excel-lent fish and chips since the mid 1970’s, when the family arrivedfrom Leeds, Yorkshire in England, and opened its doors in Canadafor the first time!

While the company has grown, with locations on the Island, Low-erMainland and the Interior, one thing has remained a constant– a choice of Atlantic Cod, Haddock, AlaskanHalibut in a light batter that literallymelts inyour mouth. Served with fresh cut chips inample portions, and coleslaw at a reasonableprice.

“That’s all people are looking for,” saysRichard, the son of the original Salty’s founder.“The best quality fish at the most reasonableprice you canwithout jeopardizing your qual-ity. At Salty’s we specialize in one thing - fishand chips.While we have a few other itemson the menu like prawns, oysters, scallops andchicken strips for the kids, fish and chips areour business. If someone dines here for fishand chips and doesn’t enjoy it, we can’t getthat customer back next week for pasta or ahamburger. We essentially serve one thing, sowe have to make sure we are the BEST at what we do!

The pride is obvious andwell earned. Salty’s was voted the bestfish and chips in town by newspapers andmagazines in Victoria,Edmonton and Vancouver. Customers have nothing but praise forthis British institution.

According to recent customers, John and NancyWinston ”..thechips are beautiful, the fish is the best and the batter so crispy

and tasty. Let me tell you darling,we love it here, everyone is sofriendly and the service is great.We’re from England and backhome Tuesdays and Fridayswere chips days.We broughtour friends here for a meal lastTuesday and now they’re ravingabout the place.”

The interior has a flavour of itsown, decorated with Britishparaphenalia – flags & picturesthat make it seem like home totheir many British customers.

The menu at Salty’s is limited,as is that of any fish and chip

shop youmight find back in England, with cod, haddock & halibutavailable and Yorkshire’s gift to the world’s cuisine - mushy peas.So, if you have beenwaiting for truly authentic English fish andchips, stop by Salty’s Fish and Chips in NewWest or phone inyour order: 604.544.6944.We’re open daily for lunch and dinnerand Tuesdays are all you can eat night! Hope to see you there!

family’s May Queen tradi-tion.

“I was happy, really sur-prised. It’s the best ever,”Cassidy said. “I am lookingforward to everything. I amlooking forward to sayingmy speech. I am lookingforward to dancing withthe lancers.”

The women in Cassidy’sfamily aren’t the only onesinvolved in May Day, asher grandfather, Bud Sage,is one of the Royal Lancers.As part of the longstandingtradition, the men who areRoyal Lancers dance withthe members of the MayQueen suite at the annualMay Day dinner that capsoff the day’s festivities.

“I feel really lucky,”said Cassidy, who will becrowned May Queen onMay 21. “It’s like my dreamcome true.”

While Cassidy willbe donning a crown, shewon’t be the only fam-ily member taking part inNew Westminster’s 144thMay Day. Her cousins,and fellow F.W. Howaystudents, Anna and TylerRodrigues, will be danc-ing the folk and May Poledances at May Day.

But the family’s involve-ment in May Day doesn’tend with dancing and serv-ing in the May Queen suite,with several family mem-bers carrying on long aftertheir reign has ended.

In addition to being aroyal dancer in the 1932May Day, Annie Benniealso made the flower head-bands for the May Queensuite for several years. Sue

Sage was the chaperone ofthe May Queen suite forseveral years and continuesto teach the lancers dancesto the girls.

Leslie will be doing dou-

ble duty for this year’s MayDay festivities. In additionto helping her daughter getready for her big day, she’salso co-chaperone for theMay Queen suite.

“We organize themwhen they are getting out-fitted, we are contacts forthe parents,” she said. “Wedo all the behind-the-sceneswork.”

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois ishoping to lead the Parti Québécois toa majority government on April 7, andshe’s planning to do it the old-fash-ioned way: by appealing to the fearfuland those stuck in the past.

She has targeted “overtreligious symbols” in hermuch ballyhooed charter ofvalues, a transparent attemptto court the hearts and minds of thexenophobic.

The great writer Anatole France once

commented that the law, in its majes-tic equality, forbids the rich and pooralike to sleep under bridges, beg in thestreets and steal loaves of bread.

By the same token, Marois’ charterof values forbids Christians,Muslims and Sikhs alikefrom wearing hijabs, niqabsand turbans in the publicservice.

If Marois is successful next month,it will be because of her focus on sym-bols.

Her focus on the tangible has beenfar less successful.

Quebec lost 26,000 jobs in February.The province’s unemployment ratenow sits at 7.8.

Those numbers are a stark contrastto her lead in the polls, which currentlysits at 22 points.

And more than any other provincialrace, Quebec’s election could carrynational consequences.

After its failure nearly 20 years ago,Quebec separatism is once more in the

spotlight.While shifting demographics may

not be in the favour of the Yes side inanother referendum, it is a painful,bruising process for the country as awhole.

The rewards sought by those whopush for an independent Quebec aremainly symbolic.

We urge Quebecers to choose theirsymbols carefully.

Are B.C. Liberalscourting labour?

An unusual gathering atPremier Christy Clark’slegislature office last

week served as a reminder ofsome of the challenges facing theNew Democratic Party as it con-tinues to rebuild after last year’sdevastating election defeat.

A Who’s Who of B.C.’s organ-ized labour movement metwith Clark to see if there wasany common ground on threeissues: raising the minimumwage, reducing the reliance onforeign workers, and increasingthe number of apprenticeships atwork sites.

Almost a dozen union lead-ers huddled with Clark in heroffice, which is about 100 metresfrom NDP leader Adrian Dix’soffice. But when B.C. Federationof Labour president Jim Sinclairappeared at Clark’s side in ajoint news conference after-wards, the distance seemedmuch greater.

This was another example ofthe labour movement – tradition-ally a strong supporter of theNDP – making a bet that it wasbetter to do business with Clarkand her government, rather thansimply aligning itself with theOpposition New Democrats.

The first such episode of thisevolving relationship betweenlabour and the B.C. Liberalscame last fall, when Sinclairand building trades head TomSigurdson shared a public plat-form with Clark, to announcethey had formed a joint com-mittee to develop a skilledworkforce that will be needed todevelop the LNG industry.

Framed against thesedevelopments is the ongoinginternal debate within the NDPthat goes to the heart of theparty’s increasingly tense rela-tionship with at least parts of thelabor movement.

The NDP cannot decidewhere it stands on a criticalissue: the creation of jobs in nat-ural resource industries. And soit finds itself struggling to holdonto the support of those privatesector union members whoselivelihoods may depend on thesejobs.

This issue will likely domin-ate the party’s leadership race.The only declared candidate– MLA Mike Farnworth – hasalready been criticized by someof his caucus colleagues for dar-ing to suggest the party take aneutral position on the proposedKinder Morgan pipeline.

Farnworth has also runafoul of the positions of twoNDP-friendly mayors, as bothVancouver’s Gregor Robertsonand Burnaby’s Derek Corriganstrongly oppose the KinderMorgan project.

Get a grip on city congestionDear Editor:

Re: City pushes for four-lane Pattullo with tolls,The Record, March 7.

How is it that Mayor Wright and council havedecided that a four-lane bridge is OK?

Really?If the city did something other than to promote

congestion, there would be much less traffic in NewWest, or so it would seem since people wouldn’t besitting stoplight after roundabout.

Give us a six-lane bridge. Improve flow through-out the city, improve access to Highway 1 and MarineDrive, creating a thoroughfare along Columbia,First and Stewardson.

Eliminating traffic congestion by diverting itaround the outside of the city along the existingloud train tracks, instead of our beautiful, quaintneighbourhoods.

While we are at it, put in a four-lane Baileybridge and call a truce with Coquitlam.

Now, let us show some respect to our neighbours,so that our neighbours will respect us.

Come on, Mr. Mayor, remember, we used to bethe most respected city, the capital city!

Oh, and remember us, Queensborough, yeah webelong to New Westminister too! Just throwin’ thatout there!

tolling of the Pattullo Bridge as viablesolutions to the increased traffic on RoyalAvenue and nearby areas.

However, Surrey does not agree andfavours six lanes.

Surrey Coun. Barbara Steele says a six-lane Pattullo will decrease congestion andincrease the number of trips.

Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode also com-mented that the province should interveneand force a solution to replace the Pattulloif there are further delays or resistance to anew bridge from New West.

What does Surrey wants from us? Justtake whatever they throw at us and whatthey want?

I do not think so. How would you feelif the province forced Surrey to agree toa four-lane Pattullo Bridge? We are notblocking, resisting or delaying any viablesolutions.

This is our home and we will do andfight however and whatever is necessaryto maintain our livability and safety foreveryone! The six-lane bridge will costmore. The Surrey-Coquitlam option mightbe one of the solutions to help the resi-dents of those cities.

Surrey’s population is increasing. Morepopulation = more cars = more traffic =more congestion.

If the Pattullo Bridge won’t be tolled,where do you think drivers will go to

avoid the Port Mann Bridge (which isalready happening now).

It does not matter how many lanesbecause people will avoid paying thetolls.

One of the New Westminster residentscommented that all bridges should betolled to “level things out,” which I agree.

Those who are avoiding Port Mannhave not factored the extra gas and timespent from avoiding the Port Mann. Thiswas pointed out by one of the Burnabyresidents, and I totally agree.

For the person who commented thatNew Westminster is not a city and all theywant is to through us to get where theywant to go: Are you from outer space thatyou have this bad, selfish and disrespect-ful attitude towards the New Westminsterresidents?

Summing up city’s planDear Editor:

It is possible to sum up in just a fewwords the city’s complex and self-servingexplanation for the bath it took on the saleof Merchant Square to Joe Segal: “We losta ton of taxpayer money, but that was ourplan all along.”

Now that’s chutzpah!Ian MacNeill, by email

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

newspapers. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you

may contact the B.C. Press Council. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

John Horgan, should hedecide to run for leader)advocate policies that aremore accepting of naturalresource industries, butthere are many, manyfolks in their party thatvehemently oppose sucha shift.

Take the issue of frac-king, which is used toextract natural gas fromdeep in the ground. Theparty is committed to areview of the practice,but the outright banningof fracking is a favoriteposition of many environ-mental groups, as well asNDP activists.

Of course, if frackingwas banned the exist-ing natural gas industry(which ironically grew sig-nificantly because of poli-cies of the NDP govern-ment in the 1990s) wouldcollapse, thus robbingthe provincial treasury ofhundreds of millions ofdollars.

There are other hot-button issues that putsome New Democratsin knots of course: min-ing, liquefied natural gas,port development, privatepower projects – the list isa long one.

These industries notonly create jobs, but well-paying jobs – precisely thekind sought after by thelabour movement.

So when not one, nottwo, but almost a dozentop labour leaders meetwith the head of the B.C.Liberals to talk about jobs,that’s not a good thing ifyou’re a New Democratstruggling to maintain theparty’s traditional identityas a workers’ party.

Now, to be clear, theB.C. Federation of Labourand its members are stillsupporters of the NDP andthey’re not going to holdany fundraisers for ChristyClark anytime soon.

But those NDP tieshave become somewhat

strained, as labour lead-ers realize their members’interests come well aheadof those of the environ-mental movement.

Some New Democratswho realize that turningtheir backs on the naturalresource sector is a recipefor electoral disaster havespoken out.

Former NDP premierDan Miller and formersenior NDP aide BillTieleman have both writ-ten op-ed pieces or col-umns warning the partymay be headed over a cliff.

Don’t be surprised if wesee more labour summitsin the premier’s office.Clark’s political savvy tellsher they not only makegood sense from a publicpolicy point of view, butthey also serve to magnifythe growing rift in theparty that is her chief pol-itical opponent.

Keith Baldrey is the chiefpolitical reporter for GlobalB.C.

The coalition alsoincludes the B.C. and YukonCommunity NewspapersAssociation (BCYCNA). TheRecord and its partner news-papers in the Glacier Mediachain are members of theBCYCNA.

Canadian NewspaperAssociation chair PeterKvarnstrom (also pres-ident of B.C. operations forGlacier Media Group) saidhanding B.C.’s recyclingprograms over to an organ-ization run out of Torontomakes no sense.

“B.C. is the first juris-diction in the world wherethe government has abdi-cated its responsibility andhanded the whole recyclingsystem over to a group ofmulti-nationalorganizationsrun from Bay Street,” saidKvarnstrom. “Decisions onB.C.’s recycling programsare being made in officesin Toronto, and local busi-nesses have not been con-sulted.”

Ken Plumb of EnterprisePaper in Coquitlam says thenew recycling regime couldboost a family’s grocery billby up to 20 per cent.

“If your grocery bill is$200, you’ll be paying $240,”said Plumb. “That’s a bigincrease, especially if you’re

a low-income person – andpeople don’t even know it’sabout to happen.”

Plumb’s company dis-tributes packaging andother materials to bakeries,grocery stores and otherfirms in New Westminster,the Tri-Cities and the restof B.C. He said the redtape already being gener-ated by the new rules hasforced him to hire two newemployees just to fill out allthe reports.

And Klassen said thenew regulations will forcebusinesses to raise the priceof everything from pop topizza.

“If you’re a pizza fran-chise and you’re in NewWestminster, this will cost

you between $400 and $500a week,” said Klassen. “Thatwill have to be passed on tothe consumer or the busi-ness will have to cut costssomewhere else.”

Like most B.C. munici-palities, New Westminstersigned on to the MMBCprogram last year. But withthe May 19 implementationdate just weeks away, thecity still has no idea whereits recyclables will be goingto for processing.

“We don’t know who ourprocessor is, and we won’tknow until mid-April,” saidKristian Davis, solid wasteand recycling branch super-visor for the City of NewWestminster. “We still don’tknow, and it’s getting kind

of close.”Davis said there’s a pos-

sibility that the recyclableswill have to be shippedto the North Shore, whichwould increase fuel costsand might even mean hir-ing more drivers.

Davis said NewWestminster has one of thebest recycling programs inB.C. and signing on withMMBC has presented a lotof challenges.

“It’s not been an easyprocess, and I don’t thinkanyone is happy,” Davissaid. “I’m not happy, butwe’ll make the most of it.”

Davis said the city doeshave an option to get outof the contract with MMBCif the new system proves

unworkable.“We have an out, and we

will exercise our option toget out if it’s not working,”Davis said.

Ministry of Environmentspokesperson David Crebosaid the intent behind theMMBC program shiftsthe cost of recycling fromtaxpayers to the compan-ies who produce the pack-aging and other materials.It should provide incentivesto industry to reduce pack-aging.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program.The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in itsplace. And they thought they’d get away with it right under yournose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests,has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-nationalcorporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up anassociation that doesn’t seem to hold the environment, local jobs, orthe municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our elected officials are using the word“scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s alsoperhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clarkknow what you think. Contact her today to saythat dismantling an already-working recyclingprogram to replace it with something that fewpeople think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

enthused by the endless beauty of nature– her flawlessness, yet imperfection –reminds me of my own journey, foreverdeveloping and unpredictable, yet alsomiraculous,” Wolski says in an artist state-ment.

Knight girls win B.C. AA bronzeLeilani Carney sparked

a second-half comeback tohelp lead the St. ThomasMore Knights to a third-place finish at the B.C. highschool AA girls’ basketballchampionships.

The Grade 11 guard hada 12-point third quarter,including a trio of three-pointers, to lead all Knightsin total scoring followingan 83-67 victory over theWellington Wildcats in thebronze-medal match at theLangley Events Centre onSaturday.

“It was a close game.We had to get back into itand come back strong. Wecouldn’t have won withouteach other,” said Carney

Carney led her team-mates in overall scoringwith 60 points over thefour-day championship,including a 24-point out-ing in STM’s 65-57 winover Vernon in the quar-ter-finals.

A point behind wasjunior point guard ZionCorrales-Nelson, who fin-ished the consolation finalwith a game-high 24 pointsand eight steals.

Corrales-Nelson waslater named a champion-ship second team all-starand winner of the defen-sive player of the tourna-ment, an honour the tal-ented Grade 10 athletewon last year with the run-ner-up junior Knights.

Senior forwardDomunique Booker earneda first team all-star nod forthe Knights following amonster double-double in

the bronze-medal win.Booker scored 18

points and added as manyrebounds in the final, whilefellow senior Meghan Hoplayed through injury inthe second half, scoring 13,whileaddingfivereboundsand three blocked shots.

“All the girls were real-ly playing hard. We reallycame out playing off eachother,” said Booker. “Weplay off emotion, but we

always go in there and bat-tle, and that’s how we’vehad success.”

Ho said the bronzemedal felt “amazing.”

“I wasn’t going to missthat game. We had to playwith heart, tenacity andfight for the ball. I wasreally proud of how weplayed in the second half,”Ho said.

Trailing by just twopoints in a tight first half,

Carney pulled STM evenearly in the third quarterwith back-to-back three-pointers.

Carney then gave theBurnaby independent thelead with perfect three-for-three execution at the foulline after she was fouledattempting another trey.

The Knights pulledaway in the final frame,outscoring the Wildcats27-15, including seven-

for-nine from the charitystripe.

STM opened with a 73-54 win over Lambrick Parkbehind a 20-point effortfrom Corrales-Nelson.

The Knights werestopped in the semifinals64-50 by eventual champi-on and No. 2 seed WindsorDukes.

STM graduates just twostarters off its roster fornext season.

Clan women earn third seed to NCAA tourneySecond-half points cost

Simon Fraser University a GreatNorthwest conference title.

SFU led by 10 points headinginto the second half of the champi-onship final, but lost momentumon the defensive glass before fall-ing 78-74 to Western Washingtonin Lacey, Washington in a rematchof last season’s conference final.

But the Clan women’s basket-ball team will get another crack attheir cross-border rival when thetwo NCAA Division II foes meetagain this Friday in the openinground of the national tournamentin Pomona, California.

“(Western Washington) is ateam we know really well,” saidClan head coach Bruce Langford.“Maybe we had too big a lead

(in the conference final). Whenwe got tentative, we couldn’t getuntentative. I think it’s an excel-lant matchup.”

The two teams meet againFriday.

SFU advanced to the conferencefinal following an 85-74 upset winover regular season champion andNo. 1 seed Montana State Billingson Friday.

“We came out with a lot ofconfidence. It just didn’t lastlong enough,” said Langford in aschool press release. “We had fourpeople contribute to the offence,but we could have used a littlebit more in places. The game wasreally lost on the offensive boards.They had way too many offen-sive boards, which led to second-chance points.”

Senior Marie-Line Petit, whoscored eight of her 18 points in a

10-0 Clan start, finished the tour-nament with 54 total points.

Erin Chambers led the Clanwith 28 points. The SFU junioralso registered a team-high 22points in the win over Billings.

Katie Lowen chipped in with13 points, while Chelsea Reistfinished with 11 points andfive rebounds. Sophomore MegWilson led the team in rebound-ing with 11.

In the semifinal, SFU got 30points and 21 assists off the benchin the upset win over MontanaState. SFU lost its two matchupswith Billings during conferenceplay this season.

Lowen added 17 points, whileWilson had 13 points and eightboards. Reist and Petit both con-tributed a dozen points to thescoreline. Petit also had a team-bestnine rebounds and six assists.
