Council passes new steps on reconciliation Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster will do a “deep dive” to get at the truth so it can tackle reconciliation.

On Monday, city council approved a motion by Coun. Nadine Nakagawa, with input from Coun.

Chuck Puchmayr, to help move the city’s reconciliation efforts forward.While the city has already brought in consultants to work on the issue, Nakagawa said her mo-

tion represents “a historical deep dive” to understand the city’s actions.

“I believe that this is an opportunity for us, members of council, the city as an entity and the public to learn about the history of New Westminster together,” she said. “This motion dovetails with the work of the consultants.

We are moving forward to develop relationships and a framework on reconciliation, but we can’t forget that truth needs to come be-

fore, or in this case, alongside reconciliation.”

Nakagawa’s motion includes a number of steps for the city: ! Making it mandatory for all city staff to attend training on the history and legacy of residential schools. ! Providing mayor and council with training to understand the legacy of residential schools and colonialism. ! Undertaking research to understand which Nations have a rela-

tionship to this land. ! Undertaking research to better understand the historical actions of the city regarding First Nations. ! Ensuring this research respects and incorporates the experiences and stories of the First Nations that claim the territory upon which New Westminster is built to ensure the history isn’t told from a colonial perspective; and sharing this information with the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

Teen charged in Hume Park homicide

A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family of murder victim Robel Abera, who was found shot to death on Saturday

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Family and friends are remembering murder victim Robel Abera as a “genuine, funny, and caring individual.”

Abera, 20, was killed Saturday night in Hume Park. Officers discovered his body shortly after 7:30 p.m. after receiving reports of shots fired.

“Robel Abera was a son, brother, and friend whose life was taken away on April 27th, 2019, the night of Orthodox Easter. Robel was the most genuine, funny, and caring individual. He had an infectious personality which made him very easy to love,” read a statement on a GoFundMe campaign page created to help Abera’s family pay funeral expenses.

The family is trying to raise $20,000.

So far more than $6,300 has been collected.

Some people have also left comments, offering condolences to Abera’s parents and paying tribute to the young man.

“Robel was such an amazing person to everyone he knew. He made it so easy to love him and to want to be a part of his life. He made such an impact on who I am and I will be forever grateful that I was lucky enough to have known him and loved him,” wrote Lexi Agen.

Jenni Novaky agreed.

“Robel was always such a caring, loving and compassionate friend to me and others. May he Rest In Peace, he will be missed,” she wrote.

Police have released few details about a motive in the case.

cdobie@burnabynow.com

For the second year in a row, New Westminster’s hometown newspaper has taken home gold at the Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards.

The award was announced the annual Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards hosted by the B.C. andYukon Community Newspapers Association and held Saturday at the River Rock Casino.The Record earned high marks for its community news, sports and arts and entertainment coverage.

“The Record is a great-looking paper.The crisp modern look is complemented by variety in their coverage and it is clear that advertisers love to run big, colourful ads in a paper that is full of good content. Nice balance of text and photos overall, with professional quality throughout. Great Op-Ed section,” wrote the judges.

This is the second year in a row the Record has won gold for overall newspaper excellence and the third time it’s taken gold in four years (the other win was in 2015).

MYTHBUSTER #5 – I ALREADY HAVE A CAR, IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR ME TO WALK

Truth: For many people, having a car is a necessity. However, just because you have a car doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make sense to walk.

Walking is beneficial in so many ways!

Many Burnaby and New Westminster residents live within a 10-15 minute walk of grocery stores, restaurants and other amenities. Walking to such amenities can provide exercise, reduce stress (from the frustration of all the bad drivers out there, traffic gridlock and looking for the elusive parking spot), save money (buying less gas) and help the environment too.

And it’s not all or none – over 400,000 Metro Vancouver residents use two or more ways to getting around on a typical day. Walking works great in combination with driving part-way or using transit; with five SkyTrain Stations in New Westminster and 11 in Burnaby, many locations are just a short walk and SkyTrain ride away!

More safety tips are available at the walking page on the City of New Westminster website: www.newwestcity.ca/walking

Council wants change to staff wage disclosures Local governments must report on the remuneration of staff making more than $75,000. Council wants the names omitted

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster wants to shield city employees from potential bullying by protecting their privacy.

Each year, local governments must report on the remuneration and expenses of employees earning $75,000 or more as part of the annual statement of financial information that’s required by the province’s Financial Information Act. On Monday, council approved a motion to ask the Union of B.C. Municipalities to support amendments to the Financial Information Act that would permit local governments to report salaries and expenses in the SOFI report by job title instead of employee name.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone, who put forward the motion, supports the requirement for cities to list wages of employees making $75,000 or more as it provides transparency in how the city spends money.

“I do think it’s important that we, as a public organization, do provide that public accounting. However, I think that we also have … policies around respectful workplaces and preventing harassment of our employees,” he said.

“I think in the social media age, information like this ends up putting some of our, especially our public face employees, in a situation where perhaps information they’d prefer to have personal about their lives would be exposed to sort of public ridicule.”

Johnstone said the city can state a Planner 2 makes X amount of money and an environmental coordinator makes X, without having to put the names next to those wages.

“We have a lot of people who are not executives, people who work in the planning department, people who work in engineering – $75,000 is not an executive wage anymore,” he said.

“When this act was created, and the schedule said $75,000 was the cut-off, it was kind of the cut-off between executive wages and union wages, essentially.”

Johnstone expressed concern that when people Google some employees’ names, the first thing that pops up is the list showing what they’re paid.

“I don’t think that creates a respectful workplace,” he said.

“I think it creates a situation where we are opening up our employees for harassment.”

City hall: New Westminster city council is concerned about the impact of publishing the names and salaries of some of the city’s employees. For that to change, the province would need to change the Financial Information Act. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he’s not sure the change is necessary but

would support it going to the UBCM for debate.

what a manager in the engineering department earns.

“Putting this kind of information out to the public is really challenging to the privacy issues that we face today,” she said.

“As a councillor, we all make the same. It’s not something that we are all making different rates. I think we have an onus to the community that they know how much we make.

I think staff is different. I think we should do what we can to protect a level of privacy around a particular person’s name attached to their income.”

In addition to a list of employee remuneration and expenses, the statement of financial information includes statements about severance agreements, council remuneration and expenses, suppliers of goods and services of $25,000 and more, and audited financial statements.

Opinion OUR VIEW

As legal cannabis sales drop, some politicians dither Statistics Canada data shows Canadians bought less legal cannabis for the second consecutive month in February, or about $49.9 million worth.

The national statistics agency’s numbers show sales ramped up to a high of more than $57.3 million worth of cannabis sold in December, after notching more than $53.7 million in sales in November and more than $41.4 million sold in October follow-

ing legalization taking place on Oct. 17.

After that December high, sales fell to more than $54.8 million in January and then further in February.

Concerns about the quality and safety of legal cannabis, and the accuracy of measurements for active ingredients on product labels, have shaken some consumers’ confidence in the nascent legalized cannabis sector.

Concerns about the quality and safety of legal cannabis ... have shaken consumers’ confidence.

The fear for governments is that if consumers do not warm to pricier, legal cannabis products, and instead stick with their illegal dealers, governments will lose tax revenue and the black market will continue to

thrive.

Statistics Canada data in March showed the black market held an 80-per-cent grip on cannabis sales.

The agency said annualized Canadian household spending on cannabis to-

talled $5.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, with $4.7 billion spent on black market products and about $1.2 billion for legal weed.

Adding to the problem is the painfully slow progress many cities have made in approving stores to sell legal cannabis.

New Westminster, fortunately, is one city that is moving as fast as it can, having already vetted a series of proposals.

The only reason a public

hearing didn’t happen this week is because the city has been waiting on information from the province’s Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB).

Other cities, such as our next-door neighbour Burnaby, have done next to nothing on this file.

Governments of all levels need to get their collective acts together to get the legalized cannabis sector back on track.

MY VIEW JONINA CAMPBELL

Pay raise unfair to non-union staff

A strong, healthy democracy relies on government being fair, open and accountable.

Recently, the BC NDP government, with no consultation, broke with precedent and awarded a raise — the low-wage redress — to only union members in the social service sector.

This move prevents 17,000 non-union workers in B.C. their fair share of the $40 million redress fund. Both union and non-union workers will still receive a twoper-cent wage increase each year for three years, but the low-wage redress to unionized staff will add an additional 14-per-cent increase, around $4 an hour more than what non-union employees will get to do the same work.

Social service employees work for agencies that provide care for people with mental and physical disabilities, people struggling with mental health and addictions, new immigrants and vulnerable children and seniors.Whether an employee is union or non-union is irrelevant to the care and service they provide.

The disappointment and uncertainty created by the government is only being compounded by the blatant disregard to being held accountable for the reasons behind the decision to deny non-union workers the same raise as union workers.

In the legislature, Opposition MLAs have asked the BC NDP government repeatedly why only union members will receive the low-wage redress, and every time, the BC NDP have refused to answer the questions.This is best described

by BC Greens MLA Adam

Olsen, in his blog post: “Instead of providing this answer, minister after minister stood and used the questions to attack the past 16 years of poor management from the former government.

“These political answers did not move low-wage workers forward. Nor do they address the inequality of one set of workers getting increases while the other set gets nothing.”

If the BC NDP wants to be critical of the former BC Liberal government, I won’t argue, but to politicize an issue they were elected to fix is irresponsible and could have harmful impacts.

This sector has said that giving the low-wage redress to only unionized workers will worsen recruiting challenges.

People have the right to unionize, but unionization shouldn’t be a requirement for fair treatment by government.We need to be raising wages in the social care industry and not creating two different classes of workers.

And when government makes a decision, they owe it to the people who will be impacted negatively by their decision to have an explanation provided.

John Horgan and the BC NDP made the commitment to deliver the services that people count on. Creating two classes of workers will not help them to deliver on this promise.

Government needs to treat all workers with fairness and respect.The BC NDP need to do the right thing and extend the lowwage increase to all workers.

Jonina Campbell is the deputy leader of the BC Green Party.

Animals attacked at petting farm Parks officials were mulling extra security measures for the Queen’s Park Petting Farm after an attack on animals there in September.Two rabbits were killed and a number of goats were beaten during a break-in. Staff also found flooded pens, broken equipment and scattered supplies.

All the animals were returned to their winter homes in the Fraser Valley after the attack.

Besides the bunnies, all looked to make a full recovery.

Parks officials said they would use the off season to consider installing possible extra security measures, including video surveillance, before the facility reopened for the summer.

Redress policy is about paying a living wage Editor: Re: Premier creating two classes of workers with ‘low-wage redress,’ Record online opinion, Jonina Campbell, deputy leader of the BC Greens, April 24 I find it surprising that (Jonina Campbell) does not appear to value benefits of belonging to a union as a member of the BCTF. The BC Liberals’ first attack after being elected in 2001 was to the social service sector when they stripped collective agreements and made significant changes to the labour code that resulted in the elimination of successorship rights when contracted services are re-tendered.

Union workers faced with layoffs due to the changes to the code and the Employment Standards Act at the time were faced with the removal of several basic worker rights and protections that continue to affect workers now.

As a result, social service workers were forced to reapply for the same jobs at a much lower rate of pay at non-union facilities.

Campbell served two terms as an elected New Westminster Board of Education trustee. In both elections, she sought the endorsement of the New Westminster and District Labour Council’s affiliated unions and was successful in receiving our endorsements that included sizable union campaign donations.

During (Campbell’s) two terms and as the chair of the board, at no time did she ever initiate or move a motion for the board to adopt the livingwage policy that would apply to all school district

vendors and contractors employees.

The living-wage policy adopted by the City of New Westminster several years ago is a B.C. labour movement initiative that benefits mostly non-union workers and that endorsed candidates at least commit to attempt to encourage boards or city councils to adopt and implement.

The good news is it’s not too late for Campbell to assist B.C. workers in achieving fair wages.

She can take immediate action and lobby her BC Green MLAs, primarily BC Green leader Andrew Weaver, to support all of the labour code and employment standards changes that are scheduled to be introduced in the B.C. legislature.

One of the significant changes the Greens and the BC Liberals should support if they truly care about workers is to restore the right for workers to join a union without fear, intimidation, barriers or delays. The benefits of belonging to a union go far beyond wages. The ability to choose a union is a charter-protected right that has proven to combat income inequality and ensures working conditions are better for all workers.

It’s time to change the law.

City Beat EVENTS

Council split on giving festival more money But a motion for an additional $5,000 to the Multicultural Festival, which takes place on Canada Day, narrowly passes Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council is kicking in some more cash for this year’s Multicultural Festival but wants organizers to consider how to make the celebration more sustainable.

As part of its annual festival grants program, the city awarded the New Westminster Philippine Festival Society $5,000 to organize this year’s event, which was less than the $14,000 requested for 2019 and the $10,000 approved for 2018.

Organizers appealed to council for more money for this year’s event, which takes place at Westminster Pier Park on Canada Day and features music, food and cultural performances.

Salve Dayao, the society’s president, recently told council that the event has been successful but costs are rising. She said a $5,000 grant isn’t enough to put on

this year’s event, noting the stage alone costs $8,450.

“Our total expenses incurred was $16,200,” she said of last year’s festival.

“Every year expenses go up, and it is beyond our control.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said organizers of other events – including Uptown Live, which faced a grant reduction from the previous year – were given an opportunity to make a presentation to the grants committee and explain why they needed more funding. He noted that organizers of the Multicultural Festival were not given the same opportunity.

“I think this is a really important festival. I think we can work with the festival and address some of the issues that have been raised previously,” he said.

“To let it die right now because of a bit of an oversight on our part, I think would not send a really good message.”

Diversity celebrated: The Multicultural Festival takes place on Canada Day. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Coun. Mary Trentadue said she’d prefer to have the city work with the society to see what type of festival it could have with the $5,000 approved by council in December.

She also thinks there needs to be a discussion about how to make the fes-

tival more sustainable in the long run so organizers don’t have to rely so heavily on city funding.

“I know that this organization does good work, and they would like to continue to do this,” she said. “It’s challenging in my mind that there were other grants

that were asked for that were also not provided. It’s a difficult thing to do. But to give funding after the fact when other organizations have also been turned down, I think is really challenging. “ In a 4-3 vote, council approved a motion to approve an additional $5,000 to the New Westminster Philippine Festival Society for this year’s Multicultural Day festival.

Mayor Jonathan Cote and councillors Puchmayr, Jaimie McEvoy and Chinu Das supported the motion, but councillors Patrick Johnstone, Nadine Nakagawa and Trentadue opposed the additional $5,000.

“I will support this request, given that it is the same funding that was received last year to put this event on, but moving forward, I would like to have a conversation about this event,” Cote said. “Even the delegate made mention that

putting this event on, on Canada Day, when entertainment is at a premium, makes it very difficult and more costly to put on the event. I think we need to have a conversation about how we make this event more sustainable.”

According to Dayao, the price of performers increases every year. On Canada Day, she said performers are “going back and forth” to perform at all of the festivals in the Lower Mainland.

“Canada’s birthday is special,” she said.

“All the multicultural communities get to present their culture to their adopted country.”

Each year, the city disperses cash through arts and culture, festivals, partnerships, amateur sports, child care, environment, heritage and community grant programs.The city has approved more than $900,000 for grant programs in 2019.

How nude is too nude for local art fans?

Artist Tom Morgan explores the female form in a new exhibition at Plaskett Gallery this month Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Tom Morgan has never forgotten the teacher who caught him drawing a picture of a nude woman when he should have been doing his schoolwork.

Instead of scolding or punishing him, the teacher instead examined his drawing and pointed out he had failed to include the S-curve of the woman’s spine. He was in Grade 6 – and, for the more than half a century since, Morgan has been working hard to get that Scurve just right.

Morgan’s work is on display at the Plaskett Gallery in May in an exhibition he’s calling How Nude Is Too Nude?

The title, he says, stems from the fact that he’s long found it difficult to get his work into galleries because so many refuse to display nudes – at least, those that are considered “too nude.”

And painting without having a place to show your work, he says, can be frustrating.

“That’s what it’s all about really, is to have somebody look at it and appreciate it,” he says.

It wasn’t until Morgan came across the world of online galleries – particularly a NewYork City-based site called Barebrush Gallery – that he found a market for his work. On that site, curators from the NewYork art scene jury in prospective artworks, and chosen pieces are given a featured day in the calendar.

As Morgan writes in an artist’s statement: “Had

it not been for this site, I would probably have gone back to painting trees long ago.”

As it is, though, the unclothed female form has remained his favourite subject.

He finds the human body fascinating, he says, because it’s never just static.

“It always changes. It’s a very hard thing to draw. I’m fascinated with hands and feet; they change according to how they move,” he says, flexing his own outstretched hand as he chats over coffee.

His skill at drawing the human body has evolved over the years through the simple act of continuing to

You do a lot of staring and looking

draw – yes, he started with stick figures, like everybody else. After that, he says: “You do a lot of staring and looking.”

In his very early years, he used the models that were close at hand.

“I used to do nudes from the Sears catalogue,” he says with a laugh, noting he’d use the lingerie section as his starting point.

As he grew up, he continued to pursue his artistic endeavours. He studied at the Vancouver School of Art for two years, and he lived as a “starving artist” for a time in his early adulthood before deciding to pursue a career in graphics. After that career ended, he turned back to painting as a full-time pas-

sion.

Over the years, Morgan has taken a variety of life drawing workshops at such schools asVancouver Community College, Langara College, Surrey Art Gallery and Malaspina College.

He’s long been involved in life drawing, and these days he helps to coordinate the NewWestminster Life Drawing meetup on Thursdays – where artists have a chance to produce sketches of live, undraped models.

Many of those sketches become the basis for his fullscale oil paintings; if he finds himself inspired by a particular model, he’ll often ask to take photographs that he can work from later.

Morgan often finds himself drawn to aspects of the female body that aren’t considered the stereotypical “ideal” – in one painting, for instance, he chose to focus on the folds around a model’s midsection.

He notes that he used to spend “hours and hours and hours” on each painting, applying multiple layers of paint and an exacting level of detail.These days, he says, he’s trying to finish each of his paintings in three working days (with time between coats for drying).

And, no, he doesn’t just work on nudes, either – the current painting on his easel is a village scene from Spain, where he and his girlfriend spend part of every year. His Spanish travels and a variety of other wildlife scenes – particularly birds – serve as inspiration for much of his work.

These days, he says, he’s trying to figure out a way to

work less.

“I’m doing too much right now,” he says. “My studio is jam-packed with paintings, and I’m running out of space.”

Giving up painting altogether, though, just isn’t an option.

“It gnaws at you,” he says. “If you decide, no, I’m

not going to paint anymore, it gnaws at you. It’s something you sort of have to do.

You sort of get addicted to it.”

Community School board defers vote on extra arts funding Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

After years of cuts to arts funding in New West schools, parents and students got a glimpse of what arts education would be like with a few extra dollars.

But it was only a glimpse.

On Tuesday night, the school board voted to defer its decision on a proposed $180,000 surplus allocation to arts programs in local schools, arguing more time was needed to make a thoughtful and informed decision.

The recommendation, put forward by board chair Mark Gifford, was to spend $60,000 to create a district arts coordinator (0.5 fulltime equivalent), $50,000 to cover Massey Theatre rental costs, and $70,000 to replace and/or repair fine arts equipment and supplies at all schools in the district.

The recommendation was in response to a plea made last month by parents from the NWSS Music Auxiliary asking for more money for the district’s arts programs.

“Mark Gifford’s recommendations were perfect to start things off and to fulfil a few immediate needs,” Wendy Cooper, co-treasurer of the NWSS Music Auxiliary, told the Record on Wednesday.

Cooper and other parents were at the school board meeting this week to hear what trustees planned to do with the district’s more than $3-million surplus.

Cooper said she has watched the budget for arts

education be depleted year after year “when it was time to tighten the purse strings.”

“I know life isn’t fair, but our kids have sacrificed for quite a few years now, through the deficit and through the surplus gathering up,” Cooper said.

“I’m concerned that our kids won’t see the reward.”

But some trustees felt that because the district is in the middle of a strategic planning process for its five-year plan, they couldn’t immediately support a one-time payment to arts education.

“This is an experience that I really, really believe in, but for me the process behind it is really what throws me off. I find that it was incredibly reactive with longterm implications,” trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal said at the meeting.

Trustee Anita Ansari agreed.

Ansari said she was concerned it wasn’t enough to just allocate funds from the surplus to support arts education.

“I don’t want to plug the holes in the ship and find we hit an iceberg.That’s why we’re doing the strategic planning, so we can have a long-term goal that we’re going towards, and arts needs to be part of a longterm goal and not just be something we throw a little bit of money off from our surplus,” she said.

Trustees are expected to make a decision on the arts funding recommendation at the school board meeting on May 28.

Cooper is hopeful that, at that time, trustees will make

Board meetings go live online School board meetings are a little livelier in New Westminster these days.

On Tuesday, April 30, the school district, for the first time, livestreamed the board of education meeting.The broadcast comes after trustees passed a motion in February recommending the meetings be streamed.

The initial recommendation was made three months earlier by trustee Mary Lalji, who wanted to broadcast the public meetings as part of the board’s “commitment to transparency, accountability and accessibility.”

The inaugural broadcast

was part of a four-month trial period to gauge public interest and will cost the district about $2,900, including $900 to purchase a camera and tripod, $1,200 for a microphone and $800 for an HDMI capture card.

After the four-month trial, staff and the school board will reassess whether improvements or modifications need to be made to the livestream.

The meetings are streamed live on the district’sYouTube channel.To tune in, go to tinyurl.com/ sd40stream.

the right decision.

“If the people could move this forward, in a positive direction, then arts won’t have to continue to be sacrificed,” Cooper said.

SURPLUS SPENDING While trustees deferred their decision on additional funding for arts education, the board did approve a

$425,595 surplus allocation, including $20,000 to buy new equipment for custodians.

This includes four floor burnishers, nine Orek buffers, four wing machines and one wet vacuum.

The additional equipment was recommended following a comprehensive cleanliness review the dis-

trict conducted this year.

The purpose of the review was to determine what the impact was of the previous board’s decision to move nearly all custodians to afternoon and evening shifts, outside of school hours (the only NWSS has a daytime custodian).

The remaining $405,595 will be used for earth-

quake emergency provisions ($100,000); a 0.6 FTE teacher mentor ($60,495); laser fiche digital filing and workflow project ($150,000); summer co-op student to finalize phase 1 of attendance management program ($20,000); special education review ($50,000); and strategic plan project ($25,000).

A NewWestminster man helps people experience one of the most fabled places on Earth – and step into the lives of villagers in Nepal along the way.

EoinWhite was working as a Burnaby firefighter back in 2005 when he visited Nepal and climbed to the Mount Everest base camp.The experience was “so incredible” thatWhite wanted to share it with his friends, and that’s just what he’s been doing ever since.

“I discovered on my very first time there that I could deal directly with the Sherpa people that lived in the mountains,” he says. “They have all become my family now in the last 15 years.

I am the papa. I even have grandchildren now.”

White began creating the infrastructure and connecting with people in the mountains who could help with future treks, including porters, Sherpas, yak drivers and people in teahouses along the trek.

“Directly or indirectly, from all the porters I have,

the yak drivers and the different families, my treks directly affect over 60 people,” he says.

Through word-of-mouth, Sherpa Encounters has helped nearly 400 people between the ages of 12 and 73 climb to the Mount Everest base camp. More than half of the people to attend the treks each year between October and December are returnees.

“It’s very unique there,” White says. “These people become attached to the Sherpas and the families they meet and the homes we stay at and visit, and the people we get to know.They start having a vested interest in their well-being.”

That connection was evident with the outpouring of support that came after the region was hit by a devastating earthquake in 2015.

White raised more than $90,000 to help people rebuild their homes and lives.

“We built six complete homes,” he says. “We did extensive repairs to five more and we gave eight of our families $2,000 each, which would be like 10 years income for them, be-

cause they had to relocate.

Their villages were gone.”

But the commitment of White and others goes beyond responding to disasters and extends to the day-today lives of people they encounter through their trips.

They’ve donated money and goods such as medical supplies, hosted soccer tournaments, outfitted teams with soccer jerseys, provided school uniforms to an entire school of 68 kids, bought a wood stove for a family they’d met, and more.

“We have established birthing clinics throughout remote regions of the Himalayans. I generally come up with a couple grand for that each year,” he says. “Last year I took over 200 kilos of infant wear. A lot of these young girls they come into these clinics and they don’t have anything.They have a baby and they’ve got nothing.”

Each person who goes on a trek with Sherpa Encounters takes one piece of their own luggage and a duffel bag supplied byWhite that’s filled with items for the people in Nepal.

Longtime NewWestminster resident Ivan Tuura contactedWhite to inquire about taking part in a trek.

Within a week, he was flying to Katmandu and trekking to the Mount Everest base camp, which has an elevation of 17,600 and is about 10,000 feet shy of the top of Mount Everest.

“It was really neat,” he says. “It was a long trek.

It was 10 days up and five days back. I think we got back in four days.”

A retired NewWest firefighter,Tuura had climbed Mount Kilimanjaro about 10 years ago with some local firefighters, who told him he must climb to Mount Everest base camp someday.

“It was in the back of my mind to go one day,” he says.

In addition to enjoying a “fun adventure” by trekking to the base camp,Tuura was happy to seeWhite’s charitable efforts in action. Once they made it back down the mountain,Tuura joined

White on an excursion into a remote part of Nepal, where they delivered some soccer gear and watched a youth soccer tournament.

“They raised a bunch of money and brought big duffel bags of stuff,” he said.

“He did a hell of a good job.”

During the climb, one person in the group developed pulmonary edema (excessive fluid in the lungs) en route to the base camp and had to be helicoptered out.

Because of his background as a firefighter and equipment taken on the treks, White prides himself on being able to get most of his climbers to their destination.

“I get 97 per cent of the people to the top who go with me,” he says. “Yes, I have had some helicopter evacuations, but of the 380 people I have taken, I’ve only had to ship out half a dozen. One of the reasons I do that is I have my own portable hyperbaric chamber. I have five bottles of oxygen. I have two regulators and I have a plethora of applicable altitude medications and I know how to use them.”

White is proud of the impact that Sherpa Encounters has had on people at home in Canada and abroad in Nepal.

“It wasn’t like I had this

great idea and this big plan.

One thing just led to another,” he says. “The (Canadian) people are so enamored with my family and my associates there – they see how little they have and how

little it takes to help them and they get a great deal of pleasure out of it. And they want to go back.They see the mountain.They want to come back with me and see how everyone is doing.”

Community Garden club marks 85 years in New Westminster Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The NewWestminster Horticultural Society has grown and evolved since taking root 85 years ago – but it’s not about to rest on its laurels.

Audrey Barnes, the group’s unofficial historian, said the club was comprised mainly of men when it formed in April 1934 and focused on showing flowers.While it was known for being a bit hoity-toity in its early days, today’s group is far more down to earth and is focused on spreading the word about gardening and having a good time.

“Friendly,” says club vicepresident Diane Perry, when describing the group. “In fact, there was a couple of new gentlemen who came to the last meeting.They were sitting behind me at the meeting and I heard them say, ‘Well, everyone sure is friendly.’”

The NewWestminster Horticultural Society meets on the second Tuesday of the month (except Janu-

ary) at 7:30 p.m. at Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park. Meetings include a club business, such as the treasurer’s report and news about upcoming events, a draw for garden-related prizes, tea time, a sale table where people can purchase plant items from other members and a guest speaker.

“The guest speaker can be anything,” Perry says.

“Next month’s is on small trees for small gardens.The one after that is on day lilies. It really varies.We try to keep it relevant to the season and we try to make it relevant so we are not repeating guest speakers.”

Most of the club’s members live in single-family homes, but others live in condos and have plots in community gardens or have balcony gardens. Some don’t garden at all but enjoy the social aspect of the club.

“We are actually a social club with an emphasis on gardening,” Barnes says.

But it wasn’t always that way.

“They took it serious-

ly,” Barnes says of the club’s early members. “The emphasis was growing the perfect plant.”

SERIOUS BUSINESS In its early years, the club held parlour shows each month, where members showed flowers for judging; one competition included eight categories for tulips.

While digging up details for this year’s anniversary, Barnes found an item from the 1940s, when a local woman went to great lengths in her quest for one of the coveted silver trophies awarded to gardeners of winning flowers.

“She didn’t really grow them,” Barnes says. “It wasn’t supposed to be professional gardeners or professional florists.This one lady had a gardener. She didn’t produce it – her gardener did.”

These days, the club provides members with an opportunity to show their flowers at its July meeting, where awards are given out to first-, second-, and thirdplace winners, as well as

Achievement: Diane Perry, left, and Audrey Barnes show off two of the trophies once given out to winners at the New Westminster Horticultural Society’s flower shows. PHOTO THERESA MCMANUS

best in show.

“There is vegetables, there is cut flowers and there is floral art,” Barnes says. “Way back when, New West put on two two-day shows, and they were big events. Newspaper guys would be clamouring at the door to find out who won so they could put it in the newspaper.”

A GROWING CONCERN From its modest begin-

nings with about 20 members, today’s membership has expanded to about 140 people.That’s down from a peak of about 230 during the heyday of the club’s massive plant sales earlier in the 2000s.

“I was a real go-getter trying to get new members,” recalls Barnes, who was the club’s president. “In fact, we had to enlarge the executive because so many people wanted to be on it. It used

to be three members at large and we increased it to five.”

From its humble roots, where members sold tomato plants from a couple of tables outside Centennial Community Centre in the 1950s, the plant sale flourished after moving to Royal Square mall.The club initially resold plants it had purchased from a nursery for a small profit, but in the 1990s it decided to go for a 100-per-cent-profit by selling plants grown by club members.

Barnes, who joined the club in 1993 and became its president in 1995, recalls the growing interest in the sale at Royal Square. She’ll never forget the sounds of buggies thundering toward the plant sale after doors to the mall opened for the club’s 2004 sale in honour of its 70th anniversary.

“All the customers had Safeway carts – the noise was horrendous,” she laughs. “It was so amazing.”

The sale continued to grow after moves to École Glenbrook Middle School Continued on page 23

Your Mom & Dad worked hard all their lives. Now help them enjoy it.

Five ways parents can help their kids feel comfortable at the dentist 1. Be a positive role model. Children frequently learn by example. If they see their parents being diligent about dental care, they’re more likely to embrace proper oral hygiene. Bring children to your own dental appointments so they understand the process and become familiar with the type of equipment used.

2. Stick to the first-tooth milestone. Take your child to the dentist on or about when his or her first tooth erupts. Early dental visits will get kids used to going to the dentist and prevent minor problems that may lead to more complex dental issues.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

We provide outstanding dental care for your teeth.

5. Consider using your dentist. Some parents like to take their children to a pediatric dentist, but it may not always be necessary. Many family practices cater to patients of all ages, and the familiarity of the office may help make children feel more comfortable.

Speak with your dentist about the ages they see.

3. Read books about the dentist and role play. Information can allay kids’ fears about the dentist. Read books together about dental visits and act out possible scenarios with your kids. Give kids toy dental health tools and have them practice exams on you and vice-versa.

4. Be supportive and instill trust. Avoid telling your child that everything will be okay. If a procedure is needed, this could affect his or her trust in you and make the dental office an even greater source of anxiety. Simply be supportive and offer a hand to squeeze or a hug if your child needs you.

PLANT SALE

The New West Hospice Society is on a mission to remove barriers and gaps for end-of-life care across cultures, faiths and marginalized groups.

Community members are invited to attend Community Conversation 3.0, where they will talk about end-oflife care and identify gaps or barriers. It’s on Saturday, May 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the lobby of New Westminster City Hall, 511 Royal Ave. “In reviewing our compassionate city charter, as we do, one of the components is to ensure that there is diversity and inclusion in all of the programs that we do, whether it is our bereavement program or our end-of-life care, even just the strategic plan, and to look at it with those lenses in place,” said Kay Johnson, president of the New West Hospice Society.

The society has invited refugee/immigrant groups, local religious groups, groups from Recovery Day, the LGBTQ community (through the Gay Straight Alliance at Century House)

to the event, but encourages all community members to attend.

“Part of the goal is that the public will come and learn from the various groups that might be attending,” Johnson said. “It’s part of the overall goal we have of normalizing this talk, and the more we do this in the community, the more normal it becomes to talk about end-of-life care and loss.”

One of the goals of a compassionate city is to create a community that recognizes that caring for one another at times of health crisis and personal loss isn’t

just something for health and social services, but it’s everyone’s responsibility.

“A compassionate city is just that – it is compassionate. It’s compassionate for everyone,” Johnson said.

“If I don’t know what your particular needs are, either from your culture or your faith or what is important to you, than how can I respond to you with the compassion that you need?”

Attendees at Community Conversation 3.0 will break into groups and circulate to three different stations.

Refreshments will be served. It’s free, but RSVP to info@newwesthospice.ca.

In addition to an annual donation to a local charity, the New Westminster Horticultural Society makes a yearly donation to the B.C. Council of Garden Clubs, which goes toward bursaries for college and university horticultural students.

It’s also looking to partner with the city or community

groups on projects.

“One of the things we are doing for celebrating our anniversary is we are partnering with the city’s parks and recreation department and we are contributing to a pollinator garden at Sapperton Park,” Perry says.

The club is donating funds toward the purchase of plants for the area around the new playground and club members will help the city plant the pollinator garden in May. Some members are also participating in the Glenbrook Ravine enhancement project.

“It think there are lots of things we could get involved with,” Perry says. “Like anything, it takes somebody to spearhead it.”

Community Jane’s Walk back in New West Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New West residents are invited to take part in a global movement aimed at getting people walking and talking.

Each year, free, citizen-led walking conversations inspired by urbanist and activist Jane Jacobs take place in hundreds of cities around the world as part of Jane’s Walk. Jacobs championed people-friendly cities that promote walking.

“It’s a worldwide movement to get cities more attuned to pedestrians,” said West End resident Mary Wilson. “We just want to do our bit to support that movement.”

Held in New Westminster since 2013, Jane’s Walk returns this weekend with several events in New Westminster and neighbouring Burnaby.

“There’s a couple of new ones, there’s a couple of the regular,”Wilson said.

“There’s quite a mix.”

In addition to organizing the event,Wilson will once

again be leading one of this year’s walks.

“I am going up to Highgate from the West End. There is so much going on just across the border,” she said. “We are going to take a look at the new town centre being built in Burnaby.”

Details about all of this year’s walks can be found at www.walkerscaucus.ca.

“Cross your fingers the weather is good, and come out and join us,”Wilson said. “It’s free. It’s casual. It’s a walking conversation – it’s not a lecture about something. It’s ‘here’s a walk I like, come out and join us and enjoy walking.

Enjoy walking, enjoy getting around on foot.’”

Wilson, a member of the New Westminster and Burnaby Walkers’ Caucus, is a longtime proponent of walking.

“It’s the ability to stop whenever you feel like it,” she said. “You can’t stop in the middle of the street if you see a tree that is in bloom, but when you are walking you can stand there with your mouth open and

Here’s a sampling of some of the walks taking place in New West this weekend with Jane’s Walks. An up-to-date list of all walks can be found at www.walkerscaucus.ca.

Friday, May 3: * The Interurban Line Secret Forest (1) begins at 7 p.m. in the parking lot of Cariboo Road Christian Fellowship Church, 7200 Cariboo Rd. During this hour-long walk, you’ll walk through a path in the woods that are the former home of the Interurban railway that linked Vancouver with New Westminster and beyond.

stare at it. It’s lovely to be able to stop and chat to people that you run across, and take shortcuts and cut through places where people who are driving can’t go.

It’s the flexibility of it. I enjoy that. It’s just so nice to use your body.”

Wilson, who has signed up for the Walk30 Burnaby – New West Challenge, is finding that she’s walking even more these days in a bid to help New Westminster beat Burnaby in the walking challenge that

runs until May 10. She said Jane’s Walks are a great way for participants to track more minutes before the competition ends next week.

“This is going to be like a weekend to walk,” she said. “They are already doing what they can to pile up their time counts.This is a weekend where they can really blast it.The Walk 30 ends on May 10 so it’s good timing to do that last big blast of competition against Burnaby.”

Saturday, May 4 * Star Wars Day at Steel & Oak starts at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station at 11:30 a.m. and features a leisurely walk to Steel & Oak Brewing in time for its noon opening. * Pavement Party, which starts at 1 p.m. in front of Safeway at Eighth and McBride, celebrates the urban world beneath our feet, so organizers will have a few litter pickup tongs, skipping ropes and magnifying lenses to better appreciate the mosses in the sidewalk cracks. There are a few park benches along the route. * Historic Sapperton features a historical tour of Sapperton from 1860 to now. Meet at the corner of Major and East Columbia streets at 3 p.m.

Sunday, May 5 * Highgate via Greenways begins at Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary School (corner of Eighth Avenue and 18th Street) at 10:30 a.m. and features a 90-minute walk to Highgate via trails and greenways. * Arts in Queen’s Park features a tour and discussion about arts and culture within Queen’s Park, where you’ll see cultural facilities and public art pieces. Meet at the southwest corner of Queen’s Park at First Street and Vancouver Street at 1 p.m. * It’s a TRAPP starts at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station at 2 p.m. and makes its way to Market Crossing on Marine Way.

Canadian Parents for French is a volunteer-run, non-profit dedicated to promoting and creating French-language learning opportunities for children and youth. It organizes events across the country, including exchange programs and the Concours d’art oratoire, an annual French speaking competition open to middle school and high school students (and, in case you didn’t know, New Westminster is home to quite a few Concours winners).

The New Westmin-

ster chapter also organizes events locally, including movie nights, parent info nights and other get-togethers.

Later this month, the group is taking part in the Queen’s Park garage sale to raise money to fund the different events they put on.

They’re looking for donations of good condition used clothing, toys, puzzles, small household items, kids’ books and anything else you think might fetch a price at the sale.

ASK A PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Q A

What is a stress fracture?

Stress fractures occur when a person suddenly increases their activity level (e.g. starting distance running too quickly). The normal process of bony uptake and laying down of new bone is overloaded, and a JIM GOVETT progressive weakening of the bone occurs, resulting in progressively more pain in that area.

Stress fractures usually occur in the lower extremities. They occur more commonly in females (especially with menstrual irregularity), and in thinner people. The Physiotherapist is often the first person to suspect a stress fracture due to localized pain, a vague onset, and recent change in activity. While X-rays may show signs of the injury, a bone scan or MRI is often needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment of stress fractures ultimately requires rest, and a careful graduated return to activity. The average time for recovery is 13 to 19 weeks.

ASK A DENTURIST

Q A

I need dentures, where do I start?

The best starting point to see if dentures are an option for you is to arrange a consultation with your denturist. At this point, the denturist will consult on your current situation and proceed with the according appointments. If you have no teeth remaining, the denturist BRIAN KO will go over the various treatment options with you. Once a treatment plan has been determined, the denturist will outline the following appointments that are required to fabricate a complete denture, If you have some teeth remaining, the denturist will discuss treatment plan options with you, again presenting optimal treatment plan options and those specified to each patient’s wants and needs. Following this, a referral will be written and given to the patient to take to his or her dentist to ensure that the remaining teeth are healthy enough to withstand a partial denture.

ASK A REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Q A

When should I talk to the school about a psychoeducational assessment?

By grade 3, if your child has been exposed to systematic evidence based instruction in the basic literacy skills (phonological awareness, sounds of letters, word reading) and numeracy skills (number sense, counting, learning MAUREEN MACKINNON- math facts), but has not responded or is very slow to respond, it may be time for further assessment how MCQUARRIE, PH.D. they process information. The signs for a learning disability are obvious; for reading disability, students are not able to read words or have slow word reading. With math disability, students are not able to commit to math facts to long term memory, have difficulty finding the correct response to basic math questions and there is continued use of immature finger counting strategies (counting on or counting all). Children with undiagnosed learning disability may have difficulty with working memory, have difficulty printing, paying attention, experience high stress loads and give up on school work. An assessment helps the teacher and student understand cognitive strengths and skill weakness and provides access to specialized instruction, and accommodations, if they need it.

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

What kind of painkiller should I use if I have a toothache?

Dental pain can range from excruciating to a mild annoyance. Regardless of how severe the pain, it is important to make an appointment with DR. MORRIS HUANG your dentist. However, before your scheduled appointment painkillers may be necessary to manage the pain. The confusion lies in the fact that there are many types of painkillers. Most dental pain originates from inflammation therefore the most effective painkillers are anti-inflammatory drugs – Advil® or Motrin ®(Ibuprofen). They work on decreasing inflammation and thus easing the pain. If the maximum dose of Ibuprofen is not enough, Tylenol® (Acetaminophen) can be safely taken together with Ibuprofen. These two painkillers do no interact with each other and work on different parts of the pain relief process. These over-the-counter medications are great for short-term pain management before a visit to your dentist.

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Q A

Where are you?

I mean in regards to your health and fitness goals.

When you set out on your journey, whether that was last month or 5 years ago, where are you now?

Firstly, have you even asked yourself LUKE RAMNATH this question and do you know where you started in the 1st place? This is not meant to discourage you, it’s to make you realize what can be achieved. If your answer to my question is “I don’t know” “the same place” or “in worse shape” then try the following.

• Change it up, your workout, take classes or train with a friend • Be consistent. In all aspects from workouts to nutrition, de-stressing to how many times you train.

• Do more, add extra reps, even 5 more minutes on the treadmill or add some weights to your routine.

As always we’d love to help you at Dynamic.

Arts & Entertainment New West Symphony offers up Viva España The New Westminster Symphony Orchestra is getting set to whisk its audience off to sunny Spain.

The orchestra’s next concert is Viva España, coming to the Massey Theatre on Sunday, May 5 at 2 p.m.

The first half of the concert includes some popular numbers, including Manuel de Falla’s Ritual Fire Dance, known for its supernatural tones that depict a young girl conjuring up the ghost of her dead husband in order to rid herself of him forever.

Audiences will also be treated to Emmanuel Chabrier’s España, a rhapsody for orchestra that’s considered the most exuberant piece ever written based on the Spanish dance known as the jota. Its melody may sound familiar; it was used in Perry Como’s 1956 pop hit Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom).

Those pieces lead into Georges Bizet’s popular Carmen Suite No. 2, including the melodies of two of

Local actors in the spotlight A New Westminster actor is stepping into the spotlight as one of the fictional world’s best-known antagonists.

Katherine Morris is featured as Nurse Ratched in the Stage 43 Theatrical Society production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

The show, part of the theatre company’s As Seen on Screen season, runs at the Evergreen Cultural Centre from May 2 to 11.

The play is adapted by Dale Wasserman from the

famous novel by Ken Kesey. It tells the story of Randle Patrick McMurphy, a convicted criminal who has been sentenced to a fairly short prison term. He decides to have himself declared insane so he’ll be transferred to a mental institution, where he expects to spend the rest of his term in comparative comfort and luxury.

Instead, he finds himself ensnared in a power battle with the tyrannical Nurse Ratched.

Two other New West residents also appear in the cast: John Cousins as Dale Harding and Caitlin Stanley as Candy.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is onstage from tonight (Thursday, May 2) through Saturday, May 4 at 8 p.m.; Sunday, May 5 at 2 p.m.; and Wednesday, May 8 through Saturday, May 11 at 8 p.m.Tickets are available through www. stage43.org/tickets.

Arts & Entertainment Glenbrook band strikes gold at Whistler festival Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

It was a golden weekend for band students from École Glenbrook Middle School.

The school’s Grade 8 band made a trip to Whistler for the 2019 Whistler Cantando Festival, April 26 to 28.

The festival brought together more than 2,000 band and choir students from B.C. and Alberta. Students had a chance to take part in workshops on their instruments, as well as hearing professional jazz and concert band ensembles.

They also had a chance to play for adjudicators – and the local students earned themselves a “gold” award for their performance.

Teacher Peter Zaenker noted the adjudicators praised the group’s energy, intonation and repertoire choices in their performance, which included four concert band pieces.

The band included 44

students: six percussionists, one mallet percussionist, two bassists (electric and upright), two baritones, one trombone, five trumpets, four tenor saxes, eight alto saxes, one bass clarinet, one oboe, four clarinets and eight flutes.

“Students were blessed with good weather for the weekend, undertook a brisk hike around Lost Lake as a group and made lasting memories together in the process,” Zaenker said in an email.

Congratulations to all!

Runner hits No. 4 on Oregon charts

Fetherstonhaugh delivers in regular season’s final meet to post strong time

New Westminster’s Grace Fetherstonhaugh supplied the pace and her Oregon State Beavers teammates followed at last week’s High Performance Meet in Corvallis, Ore. Fetherstonhaugh, a freshman at the NCAA Div. 1 university, collected the school’s

first win of the final regular season meet with the top time in the 3000-metre steeplechase.

Grabbing the lead in the early going, the New West Secondary alumna maintained her position until the end to finish in 10 minutes,

31.17 seconds. It was the fourth-best time in Oregon State history.

It wasn’t a personal best for Fetherstonhaugh, whose top time is 10:01.95, set a year ago at another Oregon meet.

Ten days ago, the New West native set a season-best time

in the 3000m steeplechase at the Mt. Sac Relays, placing 12th in 10:26.52.

Having represented Canada at the 2018 IAAF world championships in Finland, Fetherstonhaugh is currently ranked 142nd in the world for 3000m steeplechase.

Coastal hopes hit the rocks

But NewWestWhitecaps to use that experience in provincials in July

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

They were up for the challenge, but Lady Luck seemed to have the other team’s number.

The New Westminster Whitecaps dominated for much of the game but were unfortunate to fall 1-0 to the North Shore Avalanche in the under-14 girls Coastal B Cup semifinal at Mercer Stadium on Sunday.

The lone goal of the game came minutes into the second half and against the flow of play, where New West’s netminder made a good save but an Avalanche player was in

the right place to bury the rebound.

“It was a little disappointing because I thought we deserved better,” said coach Andy Vlachos. “It was a backand-forth first half, but we were all over them in the second half.”

New West hit a number of posts and crossbars, with striker Daniela Testani catching the horizontal post late in the match. In the final 10 minutes, they had half a dozen corner kicks that North Shore skilfully defended.

Although a bit tentative at the start, New West garnered the momentum as the game progressed.

“Our girls were up (for the game).They started a little lost and looked worried, but their confidence built as the game went on,” remarked Vlachos. “They know now they can play against the best teams.”

That will come in handy, as, thanks to a victory in the District final, the Whitecaps will be the host team come July at the provincial B cup tournament in Burnaby.

The team already posted the best record in the B.C. league playoffs, after shaking off a 3-9-0 regular season, hampered by a brash of injuries to start the year.

“We have more soccer, so I

think this could be something they take with them. Sometimes a loss can give you a boost.”

HYACKS IN FINAL The New Westminster Hyacks are chomping at the bit to take the high school senior girls soccer season to the next level.

Sidelined for the past two weeks due to forfeits by opposing clubs, New West is gearing up for next week’s league final, May 7 at Burnaby Lake West complex.

They’ll play the winner of today’s (Thursday) semifinal between Alpha and Burnaby North.

Hall honours New West’s Cornish Standout running back to be inducted into Canadian Football Hall of Fame

St.Thomas More alum Jon Cornish made a huge impact in a short time span.

The Canadian Football Hall of Fame gave the long-striding, one-time Calgary Stampeders star its biggest honour, naming Cornish among its class of 2019 inductees last week.

On the strength of stellar career that saw him rack up three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, averaging 6.7-yards a carry over nine years, Cornish joins the likes of fellow players Mervyn Fernandez,Terry Greer, Ernie Pitts and David Williams and builders Jim Hopson and Frank Smith at being inducted this coming August.

“What I did was sort of building off of some of the other great Canadians and what they had done over time,” Cornish said at a press conference.

“Growing up and seeing a guy like Lui Passaglia having great success, for me really set the tone that a Canadian can have success in the CFL.” A standout during his high school career at St. Thomas More, Cornish ... I just had retired from the pro game to really after the 2015 season, after battling various injubring the ries. best product He played nine seasons I could to the with the Stampeders after being selected with the football field.

13th overall pick in the 2006 CFL draft.

In his first full season as a starter, the Stampeders’ No. 9 rambled for 1,457 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2012, breaking Canadian Hall of Famer Normie Kwong’s 56-year-old single-season rushing record for Canadians. A year later, he improved on those totals and dominated the game with 1,813 yards and became the third Canadian to receive the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player award, as well as the Lou Marsh Trophy as the nation’s top athlete.

Even though his 2014 season was limited to nine games due to injuries, Cornish led the league in rushing at 1,082 yards. He ended up being named to four West Division all-star teams, as well as the league’s Most Outstanding Canadian for three straight years.

“Once I got to the CFL I came to understand what I needed to do to establish myself as a running back. I really couldn’t rely on my Canadian-ness, I just had to really bring the best product I could to the football field,” the 34-year-old said. “Having had that opportunity to break a few records, like Normie Kwong’s record that stood for 56 years, to have the opportunity to break his record was something I had aspired to do my entire life.To change the tone of how running backs are talked about and being a Canadian while doing it, was a great honour.”

At STM, the two-way star racked up 3,200 career yards and 49 touchdowns over three years, while picking up 2,136 of those yards in his final year. He also tallied 37 quarterback sacks and 152 career tackles, including 89 as a senior.The team won the B.C. title two of those seasons.

In a career that included Grey Cups in 2008 and 2014, Cornish counted 6,844 career yards and 44 rushing touchdowns, with another 1,666 receiving yards and nine majors.

Juniors eager to start run

NewWest begins Minto march with two games this weekend

The New Westminster junior Salmonbellies are go-time ready.

The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League squad will launch a new season this Friday in Burnaby, aiming to deliver on a lot of promise and potential.

The team will be without star sniper Tre Leclaire, who is still at Ohio State and was recently named to the All-Big-Ten second all-star team.

New West will have Ontario import Brayden Bell in net, as well as a backline built around Patrick Shoemay, Mack Burns and eastern acquisitions Riley Morgan

and Joel Trottier.

Generating offence will not just be Leclaire’s alone to deliver. He has some elite company in the form of Will Malcom and Erik Maas, who are also expected back from U.S. college commitments in the coming days.

Cam Garlin is also returning for a second season.

“As we’ve said to the guys, what we’re looking to do is get better every single game,” New West general manager Warren Goss told the Record recently. “We preach it at practice, how each one has to be better than the

last.We’re definitely putting our aim on getting to the Minto Cup, but we know that the league has only gotten closer, less of a twohorse league.”

New West, which finished second overall with a 15-6-0 record, seven points back of Coquitlam and just two points ahead of PoCo, will host its first game at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday May 5, 5 p.m. against the visiting Nanaimo junior Timbermen.

The club is offering free admission to the game for all New West minor players wearing their jerseys.

Hyacks’ Jung sets new BC records The Hyack Swim Club’s Justin Jung ripped up some old records last week, cutting to the head of the class at the Surrey Knights Swim Club’s Splash and Dash meet.

Jung won his boys 11-12 year old division’s 200-metre and 1500m events while setting new provincial and club marks in the process.

He won the 200m individual medley in 2:20.82, setting a long course B.C. record. It bested his previous fastest time set earlier this year.The Coquitlam native also put in a new mark in the 1500m freestyle race, completing the swim in 17:41.48. It broke

-

Andy Cho’s three-year-old mark of 17:42.51.

Jung would add another club record to his list, with a strong finish in the 100m breaststroke.

Also setting new Hyack records were Laon Kim, who took an eraser to an 18-year-old record in the male 10 and under 50m free. He also put up a new mark in the 200m breaststroke, finishing in 3:04.98.

Paul Orogo notched a new club time for the 1112 boys 50m backstroke, finishing in 31.49 seconds.

Yolanda Ling, meanwhile, was a trendsetter for the Hyacks in the 11-12 girls 50m breast race with a time of 37.71.

LEGAL/PUBLIC NOTICES

It was in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where Pat was born, that she met and married the Reverend Tom Allen whose life and ministry she shared at Saint Michael and All Angels in Prince George, British Columbia, and then at Holy Trinity Cathedral in New Westminster. Following his early death in 1990, Pat chose to remain in New Westminster and to exercise a life of service amongst the people who were now her friends. For over thirty years Pat quietly bore witness to a Gospel of love by simple acts of kindness and a deep awareness of others in the world about her. Pat is survived by her sisters, Marge Ciona, Betty Speers and Wilma Taylor.

Her funeral will take place on Friday, 10 May, at 11.00 a.m. at Holy Trinity Cathedral, 514 Carnarvon Street, New Westminster. Her remains will rest in the Cathedral Memorial Garden near Tom’s. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall and hosted by the Cathedral congregation.
