F
ew people know that one of Nanaimo’s most prolific art families got their start in a warehouse studio behind Tony the Tailor on Nicol Street. Already established as a painter since her first collection of oil paintings went on tour when she was nine years old, Sandra Moorhouse-Good arrived in the city from Victoria in 1972, looking to make connections. She soon found support in Barry Hardcastle, then-curator of the Nanaimo Museum, who offered her the entire upper floor of the museum to throw an art show. Moorhouse-Good took him up on the offer, and with her space at 61 Nicol St. soon to follow, and became established as one of Nanaimo’s most prominent community artists.

It kind of makes your day,” said Good. “It was a matter of the economy to be honest. When pottery didn’t sell, we did something else. “When clothing changed, we changed. It was simply making a living from art,” added Moorhouse-Good. See FAMILY, Page A5

BC Ferries has discarded plans for $4.9 million in cuts to major ferry routes that connect Vancouver Island to the mainland. That was the plan 18 months ago, when the province ordered the ferry operator to find $54 million in cost reductions, including $14 million on minor routes last year, with plans for another $4.9 million on the major routes later this year. The cuts are to control fare increases but BC Ferries decided it won’t further cut its money-making major routes. BC Ferries has already made cuts on some minor and northern routes and found other savings that have allowed the company to exceed the $54 million target. That means Islanders won’t be effected by service reductions on the major routes that serve terminals in Departure Bay and Duke Point in Nanaimo, and Swarz Bay in Victoria. “We did manage to make that $14 million in reductions on the minor and northern routes,” said Deborah Marshall, BC Ferries spokeswoman. “With the major routes, we have actually been paring back service since 2008.” The Duke Point-Tsawwassen route lost Saturday evening and Sunday morning service, and the final daily round trip was cut on the Departure Bay Mondays through Thursdays over winter. “We also made reductions to the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run,” Marshall said. “When we looked at further reductions, it didn’t make sense because you start to lose revenue.” She said the routes contribute 80 per cent of revenues. The company will look for other places to save the $4.9 million, despite reaching its $54-million target, allowing for a 1.9-per cent cap on fare increases during the next five-year term of service, Marshall said “We won’t make any more service cuts,” Marshall said. “We’re going to continue to look for efficiencies in different areas throughout the company.” Darrell.Bellaart @nanaimodailynews.com

FORESTRY
Fire season starts early on coast Number of electrical storms have triggered numerous flare-ups early into the 2015 forest fire season DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
People have caused fewer coastal forest fires than usual so far this season. In an area of the province where lightning is typically rare, electrical storms have triggered numerous flare-ups early into the 2015 forest fire season. “A lot of our fires this year have been from lightning,” said Donna MacPherson of the Coastal Fire Centre in Parksville.
“It is unusual.” The B.C. Forest Ministry centre covers Vancouver Island and the mainland north to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, near Bella Coola. That area has roughly 20 fires by this point in the year. “We’ve had 26, and 11 of them are lightning caused, and usually we have none,” MacPherson said. “Usually we have 20 peoplecaused fires and it’s been 15, so people are doing better, but lightning not so much.”
Last year was the third worst forest fire season on record, and while it’s still early in the 2015 season, indications suggest a hot, dry summer. One-hundred firefighters from the Coastal Fire Centre have already been sent to northern B.C. to lend support for several major wildfires now burning. “Most, 80, went to our Prince George centre and 20 went to our Cariboo fire centre,” MacPherson said.
Coastal forests, which tend to be cooler and moister than hot, dry Interior forests, are now edging upward from a warm and relatively dry spring. “Forests are drying,” MacPherson said. “We’re up to a moderate danger rating, with a couple of spots of high on the Island.” One spot is between Nanaimo and Duncan, one is near Port Alberni and one is in the Campbell River area.
“Our biggest concern, when people are out in the forest, if they’re going camping, that they put out their fires until they’re cold to the touch,” said MacPherson Forestry officials are watching hopefully for seasonal June rains, to “hydrate trees” to withstand the heat of summer.

WHY NANAIMO? Why people choose to make Nanaimo home
Nanaimo woman discovers personal history Aaron Hinks Reporting
R
ose Patterson had a unique upbringing that lead to her moving to Nanaimo to learn more about her family history. Patterson, a member of the Nisga’a Nation, was born in Prince Rupert and was adopted by a white family in Vermont. Her adopted mother, Esther Patterson, was a school teacher who encouraged her to learn about her culture. After Esther passed away in 1997 Rose began searching for her biological mother, and found she was living in Nanaimo with Rose’s biological sister. Rose and her biological mother had casual contact until Rose permanently moved to Nanaimo last March.
What drew you to Nanaimo? I’m kind of on a pilgrim right now trying to learn everything I can about Nanaimo, the history of it, and everything I can about being native. My goal is to get up to Prince Rupert. My adopted mother was really phenomenal, she was a teacher, she home schooled all seven of us. She encouraged us to learn as much as we can about our history. Being Native American, I was encouraged when I was younger to go to pow wows and learn what it’s like to be First Nations. Coming back is just a portion of me, I feel she started that journey for me when I was younger and instilled that in me, to learn about my heritage. To come back and learn what it is to be Canadian, what it is to be First Nation. It’s a little about learning how life is here, what would it have been if I grew up

here? What challenges have you faced? Challenges have been trying to get a job right away. I have a degree in psychology and a masters in legal studies. I was fortunate enough and I’ve worked in hotels to get something quickly. But that was the biggest challenge, finding a place to stay and getting a job right away. I came with very little income. Once I got here the welcoming I got was phenomenal. If I
had gone to New York or gone to Seattle, you don’t get that. Nanaimo is a town of ‘what can I do for you, how can I help you, or can I refer you somewhere?’ How are you integrating into the community and what do you bring to Nanaimo? I feel that I bring my human service field. I’ve worked with court-placed youth, I’ve worked with battered women and volunteer programs. I really enjoy doing that. I’ve already met with Altrusa
group in Nanaimo, they’re a volunteer group here. What’s the most underrated thing in/about Nanaimo, from your point of view? I think it’s the whole Island in general. Being on an Island, no matter where it is, it’s expensive. Here the opportunity to live at a reasonable price — if you’re educated and have the means to be self-sufficient for work — you have the opportunity to live a very luxiourous life, in my opinion.
If there’s one thing you could change about Nanaimo, what would it be? To make sure Nanaimo is carefully looking into the future from mistakes made by other people in other countries. I can see it being overrun by too much growth and too much buildings. You need to keep your paradise a paradise. Aaron.Hinks @nanaimodailynews.com 250-279-4242

Ottawa appears obssessed with control
I
t’s easy to make fun of the Harper government’s obsession with tightly controlling the message when, for example, Ottawa prevents a government scientist from talking to the media in a timely way about research on a 13,000-year-old flood in northern Canada. The spin doctors look foolishly obsessive and paranoid. Snickers ensue. Why should the Conservatives care what a federal scientist says about a prehistoric flood? But it’s no laughing matter when government scientists, through their union, feel they must seek clauses in a new collective agreement to protect themselves from being coerced to alter data and to prohibit policy-makers from knowingly
misrepresenting their work. It’s disturbing when those same scientists feel only a legal contract will protect their right to speak openly — with reasonable exceptions — about their work, to publish their findings without political interference and to collaborate with scientists in other countries. Yet that’s where we are this week. Officials with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, the union representing about 15,000 scientists and engineers, say those members have made clear their top priority is enshrining scientific integrity language into a new collective agreement. Scientific research findings aren’t raw material to be stifled
or spun according to the needs of the Tories’ never-ending re-election campaign. Furthermore, taxpayers — who, after all, funded the scientists’ work — have a right to know what their tax dollars produced, whether or not those findings are politically convenient for the government of the day. The Harper government’s muzzling of federal scientists has concerned the international scientific world. Last fall, in open letter signed by more than 800 scientists from 32 countries, Ottawa was urged to end “burdensome restrictions on scientific communication and collaboration faced by Canadian government scientists.”
Steven Campana, a former Department of Fisheries and Oceans scientist, retired early over his disgust with the toxic work environment created by the federal Conservative government, he told Herald staff reporter Mary Ellen MacIntyre earlier this week. “People are leaving because they are unhappy with the work environment, and maybe there will be a change in government and maybe there won’t, but even if the government changes, I fear the damage has been done,” said Mr. Campana, who worked at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography for more than 30 years. Mr. Campana, who now works in Iceland, said that under the Harper government, bureau-
crats’ rigid control of information was constant, even when there was no obvious link to government policy. Government spokesmen repeat the same bland assurances that scientists are readily available to share their research with the public, but repetition doesn’t make it so. Their union, meanwhile, says a new survey found that nine out of 10 government scientists say they feel they are not allowed to speak freely about their work.

While I do share the writer’s revulsion with our homegrown, wannabe jihadis, I can’t help but think little of his solution. I suggest it would be something like putting a rabid dog in a cage, driving it to the next town, and letting it out there. I submit that we shouldn’t respond to inhumanity with a lack of our own.

I think and hope Alice is my new hero! I was in the second troop of women in the RCMP and I went through many things, some of which I don’t even want to remember. Forty years ago things where so different than today but I don’t believe things have changed enough. I hope Alice’s book will really tell the story of the beginning years. They need to be told without any regret or fluff. I really look forward to the book. I truly hope it will be the real story! I hope this will help those many women (and men) who still struggle in the RCMP and for that matter, in any workplace that harassment exists.

Inhumanity response should be improved Re: ‘Let terrorist sympathizers
Allan Anderson Nanaimo
Poll questions should have been rephrased I thought it odd that for “today’s question” you would ask: “Should the federal Conservative party take part in televised leader debates during the election?” Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be taking part in four debates sponsored by Maclean’s magazine, Google and Toronto’s Munk Centre and there are currently negotiations with Postmedia for a fifth. Your question might have been: Should Harper take part in the same old (two) debates controlled
by the “consortium” of the CBC, CTV and Global? The Liberals are crying that “only the ‘consortium’ has the ability to reach all Canadians” which is absurd given this Internet age with it’s pervasive social media. Besides, all networks are welcome to cover the debates. The “consortium” networks just won’t have their usual dictatorial control of them. The Liberals haven’t committed their dear leader Justin to any of the non-consortium debates so far, and one might speculate as to why. I think the more debates the better, with more subjects and more substance in the discussions and perhaps even different formats. And isn’t Trudeau the one who keeps telling us he’ll do things differently? Jim Corder Nanaimo
People still require doorto-door mail services Re: ‘Mayor says door-to-door mail issue hasn’t been raised’ (Daily News, May 23) I am horrified by Mayor McKay’s statement, “. . . it really wasn’t
much of challenge for me to get my mail.” The ignorance behind that statement is beyond belief. This man should not be in charge of our city. The welfare of Nanaimo citizens is not in safe hands. What about single mothers with small children, maybe sick children, what about those of us recovering from surgeries - hip replacements? It is not like there is home care provided for such cases, or stay-at-home women, like in the olden days. And then there is the fact that there is no need for Stephen Harper to discontinue mail home delivery. Canada Post made almost $200 million in net profits in 2014. You do not represent me, Mayor McKay, and I do not appreciate your input on such an important issue. Please be quiet, and you will do less harm. Madeline A.

FAMILY, From Page A1 By the early ’90s, Moorhouse-Good had started painting on textiles under the label Mad Artist Clothing. This later morphed into a collaboration with Good which featured his Coast Salish designs silkscreened onto garments. “It was in the ’70s that I sketched out some clothing lines that I wanted to do, but we could never afford to purchase all the equipment,” said Good. “I wanted to be able to do prints. My concept then was to do my own prints.” Their collaboration became the Ay Ay Mut clothing line, and would prove to be one of their most successful ventures. With an idea that it would represent the traditional Coast Salish way of life, their clothing was
featured on everything from the B.C. Ferries to fashion shows and the North American Indigenous Games. By 1995 they had expanded into the operation of a large wholesale and retail venture and opened their own art gallery, Art of the Siem, which Boyd-Good managed. The store featured the clothing, as well as paintings and Good’s gold and silver jewelry, carvings and prints. Today, the family home is located on the reserve by the Nanaimo River, where despite their retirement seven years ago, the artists continue to work on creative pursuits. In the carport, Boyd-Good’s brother Joel Good, now an accomplished carver, slowly chips away at a carving commissioned by the City of Nanaimo. “I just one day decided, ‘Hey,
the museum should have a textile exhibit, because this is Nanaimo’s history. We had this whole textile business in Nanaimo,” said Boyd-Good. “I approached (manager) Debbie Trueman and it just went from there. “From there it turned into a collaborative show.” The exhibit, Ay Ay Mut — The 35 Year Partnership of Traditional Coast Salish Artist William Good and Artist Sandra Moorhouse-Good, will be on display from June 1 to July 31 at the Nanaimo Museum. The May 30 opening runs from 1 to 4 p.m. and attendees are invited to wear their vintage Ay Ay Mut clothing to the event. Julie.Chadwick @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4244

Notley sworn in to lead Alberta THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — NDP Leader Rachel Notley ushered in Alberta’s first change of government in almost 44 years Sunday, being sworn in on the steps of the legislature as the 17th premier. “Welcome to the first day of Alberta’s new government,” Notley told the cheering crowd under bright afternoon sunshine. “Today we open up a new chapter in the story of Alberta.”
The other 11 members of Notley’s new cabinet were also sworn in. Former Calgary alderman Joe Ceci is the new finance minister. Former teacher and school administrator Margaret McCuaig-Boyd is the new minister of energy. Former NDP leader Brian Mason is the new minister of infrastructure and transportation. The ceremony officially brought to a close 43 years, eight
months, and 15 days of Progressive Conservative rule, dating back to Sept. 10, 1971. It is the longest stretch of power by one party in Canadian history. Notley’s team made its own history on May 5, capturing 54 of 87 legislature seats to dethrone the Tories under leader Jim Prentice. It’s the first NDP government in Alberta, and Notley becomes Alberta’s second female premier after former Tory leader Alison Redford.
It is also a passing of the torch. Notley’s father, Grant Notley, was the leader of Alberta’s NDP during lean years for the party in the 1970s and early 80s. He died in a plane crash in 1984, just two years before the NDP made an historic breakthrough, winning 16 seats and forming official Opposition in 1986. For Alberta, it’s the first time in over a year, a premier is governing with a provincewide mandate. After Redford quit in March
2014, she was succeeded by Dave Hancock, who was picked by the Tory caucus, and then by Prentice, who won a PC party leadership contest. The ceremony launches a busy schedule. The cabinet will hold its first meetings, in Calgary, on Wednesday and Thursday. On June 1, 86 of the 87 members of the legislature will be sworn in as MLAs. Prentice won his seat in Calgary-Foothills but quit on election night, before all the votes had even been counted.
IRELAND
Irish couples wake up to let ‘new normal’ sink in SHAWN POGATCHNIK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBLIN — Gay couples of Ireland woke up Sunday in what felt like a nation reborn, with dreams of wedding plans dancing in their heads. This new reality was sinking in after the Irish people voted with a surprisingly strong 62 per cent “yes” to enshrine the right to gay marriage in the country’s conservative 1937 constitution. Thousands of revelers of all sexual identities celebrated until dawn after the result was announced Saturday night. The Justice Department confirmed Sunday it plans to draft a marriage bill this week that will permit those taking vows in civil ceremonies to choose either to be “husband and wife” or “spouses of each other.” It will ensure that
no church is required to perform a gay marriage, a key demand of the dominant Catholic Church and also the main Protestant and Muslim communities in Ireland. Deputy Prime Minister Joan Burton said she expects the bill to become law by early July. Because existing law requires a minimum three-month notice for any civil marriages, the first gay weddings cannot happen until the fall. For Sen. Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan, their day has nearly come. Since 2003 they have fought for legal recognition of their Canadian marriage, suffering setbacks and delays as they sued the state all the way to the Supreme Court. “For so long, I’ve been having to dig in my heels and say ... Well, we ARE
married. I’m a married woman!” said Zappone, a Seattle native who settled with her Irish spouse in Dublin three decades ago. “We are now entering a new Ireland,” said Gilligan, a former nun. Zappone and Gilligan thrilled a crowd of thousands of rainbow flag-waving revelers Saturday at the results centre at Dublin Castle with a playful promise to renew their vows. Zappone dramatically broke off from a live TV interview, stared directly into the camera, and asked Gilligan to marry her all over again. “I said yes to Katherine 12 years ago at our marriage in Canada,” Gilligan, nearby, shouted to the crowd. “And now we are bringing the ’yes’ back home to Ireland, our country of Ireland! Yes, yes, yes!”

Cache Creek mayor calls state of emergency THE CANADIAN PRESS
CACHE CREEK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The mayor of a small British Columbia village has declared a state of emergency and signed a series of evacuation orders after a violent storm tore through the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Interior, leaving a trail of flooding and destruction in its wake. It could be weeks or even months before some residents are allowed
back into their homes, said Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta on Sunday. So far, about 40 residents have been ordered from their homes in the village of 1,000 about 80 kilometres west of Kamloops, B.C., he added, with another 80 put on evacuation alert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do our best to ensure that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowed back as quickly as possible if (their homes) are
deemed to be safe and fit for habitation,â&#x20AC;? he said. The order to evacuate will keep people from their homes until crews are able to assess the stability of the slopes above residences deemed at risk. As of Sunday afternoon about 50 homes had been abandoned and nearly 100 people had registered at the emergency operations centre after rainfall levels topped 26 millimetres
in a single hour on Saturday, said Ranta. Ranta said he was in his car when the storm began shortly after 4 p.m. on Saturday, and that by 6:30 p.m. the village was devastated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started off as a trickle that was going down the storm sewers, to a river that was running down the road with debris floating along,â&#x20AC;? he said, describing the intensity of the rainfall as
â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbelievable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was raining just like you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rain combined with hail, coming down like the sky was falling. Declaring a state of emergency could mean more financial support from the province for rebuilding on the heels of the disaster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially important given that Ranta said he believes few homeowners are covered for floods.

Jailed young teen needed $1M in care
MONIKA SCISLOWSKA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A talented teenage basketball player unable to post bond on a low-level burglary charge ended up ingesting screws, needles, a 4-inch (10-centimetre) piece of metal and other objects while behind bars, leading the jail to spend more than $1 million in medical care on him. Authorities at Cook County Jail told the Chicago Tribune that the case of 17-year-old Lamont Cathey highlights the hazards of institutionalizing impressionable youths, some of whom have mental health issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This case to me is a perfect example of the failure of the criminal justice system,â&#x20AC;? the jailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, Cara Smith, told the newspaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a crushingly sad and very frustrating case.â&#x20AC;? The newspaper says the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office moved the Chicago teen into a newer section of the jail last week and that his condition appears to have improved. Cathey has been in the jail for 16 months following his arrest for allegedly stealing money from a pizzeria safe, after he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t post a $5,000 cash bond. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only when a plea deal that was supposed to let him attend a boot camp fell through last year that he began swallowing objects. They included a thumbtack, strips of leather and even parts of a medical device he had dismantled.
WARSAW, Poland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski conceded defeat in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential election Sunday after an exit poll showed him trailing Andrzej Duda, a previously little-known right-wing politician. If the exit poll is confirmed by official results, which are due Monday, it marks a significant blow to the ruling Civic Platform party ahead of more important parliamentary elections this year. The pro-market and pro-European party has overseen unprecedented growth during its eight years of power but is now being punished by voter discontent. Many Poles say they are fed up with corruption scandals involving members of the ruling party, and with the fact that economic growth has not trickled down to many ordinary Poles. The exit poll said 52 per cent of the votes in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final round of the presidential election went to Duda and 48 per cent to Komorowski. It was conducted by Ipsos and reported by the private broadcaster TVN. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I congratulate my competitor Andrzej Duda and wish him a successful presidency,â&#x20AC;? said Komorowski, whose term ends

in August. Duda belongs to the Law and Justice party of former Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, a right-wing party that mixes traditional national values like Catholicism with calls for a stronger state role in the economy. The party ran the government from 2005-2007 and the presidency from 2005 to 2010, when President Lech Kaczynski, the party chairmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twin brother, was killed in a plane crash in Russia.
During the campaign, Duda, a lawyer and member of the European Parliament who was previously little known in Poland, called for a reduction in the retirement age. He also said he wants Poland to retake control of the banks, two-thirds of which are foreign owned. The mood was joyous at the election night gathering in Warsaw of Dudaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law and Justice party as supporters celebrated what is apparently its first
significant electoral victory in nearly a decade. There was an explosion of cheering and people flashed V-for-victory signs. In a brief speech, Duda, 43, vowed an open presidency based on unity and said that it would take a lot of hard work to fix the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can change Poland,â&#x20AC;? Duda said with his wife and grown daughter by his side. After his speech the family and the crowd sang the national anthem.

Level of progress with Japan has failed to meet expectations since talks opened MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Trade talks have stalled between Canada and Japan — one of the Harper government’s priority countries for a breakthrough — because the Asian country has lost interest, The Canadian Press has learned. An internal memo from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development says the level of progress with Japan has failed to meet expectations since talks opened in March 2012. The memo says Japan is more interested in the ongoing 12-country Trans- Pacific Partnership talks with several of its neighbours as well as Canada, the United States, Mexico and Australia. Japan is dragging its heels on a date for the eighth round of bilateral trade talks with Canada, says the note, which was prepared for an April 17 meeting of department officials. Trade Minister Ed Fast told the House of Commons trade committee two weeks ago that Japan and Canada were still try-
FAST
ing set a date for the next round. In March 2014, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a free-trade deal with South Korea, touting it as a breakthrough in Asia and saying that Japan was one of the main targets for the next big trade agreement. The government has said that a joint study shows a free-trade deal with Japan would boost Canada’s economy by $3.8 billion a year. While some analysts have been upbeat about the possibilities of a Japan-Canada breakthrough, the internal memo tells
a different story. It says Japan’s “overwhelming focus” on the Trans-Pacific deal overshadows the talks with Canada. “While some progress has been made in the CJEPA negotiations with seven rounds to date, overall, the CJEPA text remains less developed than expected after three years of negotiations.” The memo says Japan turned down two proposals by Canada to host an eighth round of talks in early 2015 and would prefer to see that happen after the next Trans-Pacific ministerial meeting. “Chief negotiators met in Tokyo April 9-10 to discuss a way forward, but Japan remains unwilling to agree to a date for the next round without more clarity on the TPP timeline and outcomes.” Liberal MP Geoff Regan tried to pin Fast down on a date for the resumption of the talks during the minister’s committee appearance. “We’re just in the process of trying to nail down exactly
where that round will take place,” Fast said after Regan pressed him. Harper has positioned his government as ardent free traders and has made the deepening of trade and investment in Asia a key economic priority. He will likely cross paths with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the G7 summit in Germany next month. The Conservatives see Asia as a fertile market for Canadian energy products, especially since Keystone XL pipeline project, which would carry Alberta bitumen across the United States to Gulf coast refineries, has been stalled. In addition to finding new customers for energy products, the government has been trying to increase trade with big players like China and India, as well as trying to break into regional groups such as the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, which includes the Philippines, Vietnam and resource-rich Myanmar.

VANCOUVER — Crown and defence lawyers were expected to make their closing arguments this week to the jury hearing the case of two people accused of plotting to set off homemade bombs on the lawn of the B.C. legislature. John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were charged after an elaborate, months-long RCMP sting operation — they face three terrorism-related charges: conspiring to commit murder, possessing explosives on behalf of a terrorist group and conspiring to place explosives on behalf of a terrorist group. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce entered a not guilty plea earlier this month on a fourth charge — knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity — citing unspecified legal reasons. The two accused have pleaded not guilty to all charges. The jury has watched and listened to reams of video footage and extensive audio recordings collected over months by police investigators with the help of several undercover officers who posed as terrorist liaisons and befriended the accused. Nuttall, who along with Korody converted to Islam, was heard on some of the recordings talking about the need to get justice for what he perceived to be persecution of Muslims. Using what they believed were authentic al-Qaida connections, the couple allegedly acquired several kilograms of what police have testified were fake explosives prepared by RCMP experts to arm a trio of pressure cookers packed with nails and other deadly metal shrapnel. The Crown alleges the pair planned to set off the bombs at the legislature in 2013 on Canada Day. The Crown also highlighted how often and forcefully the accused affirmed their commitment to maim and kill innocent people in order to spread their message to the Western world. Nuttall and Korody’s lawyers countered with a different interpretation of events, painting a picture of the couple as victims of police pressure. The defence has pointed to instances where, they argue, undercover officers encouraged Nuttall and Korody to follow a quicker timeline for example, or to come up with a more feasible plan in lieu of some of the ideas they expressed on the recordings, such as a proposed scheme to hijack a nuclear submarine. Neither accused testified. Bruce is set to give legal instructions to the jury once the prosecution and defence lawyers have made their closing arguments.

VANCOUVER — Police are investigating after the body of a young man was found at the base of a seaside cliff in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Officers responded to calls about a body found on the seawall walkway (near Siwash Rock) shortly after 4 a.m. on Sunday. A 23-year-old man was declared dead at the scene. Police say they believe the man was attending a rave in a secluded area of the park (along Merilees Trail above Siwash Rock) when he tumbled off a cliff to his death. They say the incident appears to be accidental and that officers have not confirmed whether drugs or alcohol were involved. Anyone with information about the event is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Department.

Morrow wins title at Frank Crane ‘Rumble at the Rink’ highlighted by Qualicum Beach fighter winning middleweight belt via knockout SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
I
n front of a huge following Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena, Qualicum Beach’s Aubrey “Bam Bam” Morrow moved to 8-2-1 in his boxing career, more importantly capturing the Western Canadian middleweight championship. He did so with a seventh-round technical knockout of Saskatoon’s Paul Bzdel, before the championship belt was placed around his waist. “It’s been a long time coming,” said Morrow, 28. “I trained hard with a good training camp. The belt was always on our minds, so it feels great.” Morrow hadn’t fought on Vancouver Island since a bout in July 2014 in Nanaimo at the Port Theatre. He was up against an opponent who he predicted would be tough, but not as tough as he turned out to be. “We planned for him to be tough and he definitely surprised us,” Morrow said. “He stuck it out. A couple times I had him put away — the shots that I hit him with usually put other people away — so it was surprising.” Morrow didn’t like his first round, saying it took him a while to get his legs under him. He also wasn’t a fan of his performance in the fifth and sixth rounds but said the support of the crowd pushed him to the win in the seventh when he caught Bzdel in a vulnerable position

“I had him rocked a few times and I let him recover. This time I put him away.“ Aubrey Morrow, boxer
for a third time and was finally able to finish the match with a knockout. “I had him rocked a few times
and I let him recover,” Morrow said. “This time, I put him away.” Now with the belt upon his waist, the five-foot-11, 180-pound Morrow will focus on training for the first defence of the title, against whoever it may be against. “They say you’re not a true champion until you defend it,” Morrow said. “So I’m looking forward to defending it in the near future.”
Blood pressure forces Racette to withdraw Sixty-three-year-old Nanaimo boxing legend Gordy Racette was poised to make history Saturday night, fighting professionally in his fifth consecutive decade. However, it was not to be. Prior to the fight, doctors informed Racette his blood pressure was too high to compete. “It took me five years to get to
this point,” Racette said Saturday night. “I didn’t know I was fighting until last week, after three months of talking with the commission and preparing for this fight. I moved over here to Nanaimo, and I spent a lot of money training.” Racette said he didn’t agree with the boxing commission’s decision, saying it was simply a matter of his adrenaline being too high. “Everything was going great and I was excited — a little too much so because my blood pressure was up and the reason they stopped it was to save my life, because I could pop a vessel in my head and become a vegetable, they say,” Racette said. “They don’t understand about the mentality of a warrior or someone going into combat. “I’m as relaxed as I can be, but I’m also up. My adrenaline is up, and I’m ready to go. So they pulled the plug on me.” For Racette, it was especially disappointing as he was trying to make history with Saturday night’s scheduled fight. But his championship-winning career is not yet over — he will track down another fight card to be a part of. “I’ll have another fight, for sure,” he said, noting he was already approached to fight in November. “It’s not over yet. I’ll find another venue. “It’s going to happen. I don’t quit these things easily.” Scott.McKenzie@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Chapdelaine honoured with Buono award SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
Dylan Chapdelaine had known he was the winner of the 2014 Wally Buono Award since it was announced two weeks ago. On Saturday afternoon, however, the former Vancouver Island Raiders star linebacker got to hold the trophy in his hands for the first time as he was named the top Canadian Junior Football League player of the 2014 season. “I feel like a celebrity,” Chapdelaine laughed after the award ceremony. “Everyone’s been coming up to me and congratulating me. I’ve never felt like this before. It’s a different feeling but it’s been fun.” With the award came another opportunity. Chapdelaine, a four-time CJFL All-Canadian linebacker, has accepted a position on the Thunderbirds football team at the University of British Columbia for the 2015 season to continue his athletic career, one that started at John Barsby Community School in Nanaimo. “They started scouting me after my time with the Raiders and only just recently found out about the award, so that probably boosted their interest,” Chapdelaine said of his college recruiting process. “I’m from Nanaimo, from the Island so I

really wanted to stay close to home and UBC offers that. It’s a good school, too, so why wouldn’t I go there?” Chapdelaine also expressed excitement of playing for new UBC head coach Blake Nill, who took the vacant job after spending years building a dom-
inant Calgary Dinos program in Alberta. “He’s definitely a huge part of it,” Chapdelaine said of his decision to play for UBC. “I went to the spring camp and he’s pretty much changed everything from last year. Things are only going to get better from
here, so it’s going to be good there.” Winning the Wally Buono Award was something Chapdelaine nearly accomplished last season, as he finished in a firstplace tie with Regina Thunder quarterback Asher Hastings. The Thunder won the national
championship in 2013, and Chapdelaine said he was told that was the tiebreaker. This year, however, it was a unanimous decision. “This really tops the cake,” Chapdelaine said of his decorated championship career in Nanaimo. “It’s a really prestigious award to be named the top junior player in Canada. I’m really honoured.” The award was presented Saturday at the Nanaimo Museum, where the trophy has a permanent home. Chapdelaine is the fourth Raider to win it, following alumni Jordan Yantz, Michael Schaper and Andrew Harris. Buono, the general manager of the B.C. Lions who the award is named after, was in attendance to present Chapdelaine with the trophy. Buono said the award was less about Chapdelaine’s pure football talent than what he meant to the Raiders organization. “He’s a good football player at the level he is at,” Buono said. “But this award is more than about that. This award is about how the best player makes people around him better and makes the environment better. “That has tremendous value for me.” Scott.McKenzie@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

Chris Kirk made a par-saving seven-foot putt after an errant tee shot at the 18th hole, avoiding a playoff at Colonial and winning by a stroke Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour victory. With a closing four-under 66, Kirk got to 12-under 268, one ahead of Masters champion Jordan Spieth, playing partner Brandt Snedeker and Jason Bohn. Kirk hooked his tee shot at No. 18 into the rough but his approach shot onto the green.
After winning the Indianapolis 500 in his first try and then winning races in the Formula One series, Juan Pablo Montoya moved to NASCAR stock-car racing, where he mostly struggled for several years. But team owner Roger Penske was convinced Montoya could find Victory Lane again, and brought him back to IndyCar last year after his NASCAR contract wasn’t renewed. Montoya rewarded Penske by winning the Indy 500 for a second time.
Roger Federer was not amused. As Federer finished an interview after his first-round French Open victory Sunday, an overzealous fan left his seat and approached the 17-time major champion right there on the main stadium court in search of the most modern of mementos — a cellphone selfie. At first, Federer seemed startled. Then he looked uncomfortable, trying to brush away the unexpected guest.

Timbermen upset defending champion Shamrocks 12-9 in OT
Junior A T-Men fall to Saints for second straight loss
Victoria mounts third-period comeback, but Nanaimo stands firm in extra frame SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
K
aleb Toth always had a three-year plan to take the Nanaimo Timbermen out of the Western Lacrosse Association basement and into a playoff position Years 1 and 2 saw them finish dead last, but Year 3 is off to a pretty good start. After a shocking 8-6 upset of the defending WLA champion Victoria Shamrocks on the road Friday night, the Timbermen completed the two-game sweep at Frank Crane Arena on Sunday with a 12-9 overtime win. “They’re doing whatever it takes to win, and I’m very proud of what they’ve shown in these first two games,” Toth said Sunday night as his team moved to 2-0 early in the season. “They’ve been working really hard and they’ve been working as a unit.” Up four goals early in the third period on Sunday night, the Timbermen looked to have their second straight win all but wrapped up. However, the Shamrocks mounted a comeback and pulled within a goal of the lead before taking it over with two short-handed goals as the Nanaimo squad looked like it was going to let the win slip away. But a Randy Jones quick-stick goal late in regulation tied the game, 9-9, and sent it to overtime where the Timbermen scored three goals and shut out the Shamrocks to send them home with an 0-2 record. Cody Bremner scored the game-winning goal less than a minute into overtime before fellow former Junior A Timbermen Mac Johnston and Mitch Parker scored to give their team a three-goal lead they wouldn’t give up. “When they tied it up and took the lead, we didn’t panic,” Toth

said. “We answered back. That’s the big difference this year from the last two years, is that before we never answered back, we would just kind of fold.” Key to the win Sunday was the performance of Bremner, who was the game’s first star after a three-goal, three assist night. Bremner is the early WLA points leader with 10 in two games. He was one of the Timbermen who took the bulk of the 2014 season off, but one of the many who have committed full-time to the team this season. Brody Eastwood, another who
did the same, had a goal and two assists after his four-goal night Saturday. Parker, a rookie Nanaimo native, had a goal and four assists while veteran captain Cayle Ratcliff had a goal and three assists. While starting 2-0 is a big step for the Timbermen, it is still early in the season. Toth said it is important his team keeps a balanced mentality heading into the meat of the schedule. “The important thing is not to get too high,” he said. “We won
those games from hard work and we have to continue to work hard, or else we’re not going to continue to win.” The Timbermen now have a full week off before their next game, but the schedule doesn’t get any easier. Next up for Nanaimo is a home game with the storied New Westminster Salmonbellies on Sunday at Frank Crane Arena at 7 p.m. in the first of a home-andhome set between the two teams.
A winning record is no more for the Nanaimo Junior A Timbermen (3-4), who lost Sunday night, 9-5 to the Port Coquitlam Saints. The Timbermen couldn’t get anything started in the first period, but the Saints got on the board twice, first by Sahawna Baker and second by Nathan Marken. The Timbermen were able to get on the board in the second period, however the Saints would keep up their momentum. Timbermen rookie Alec Molander and veteran Brett Hawrys both scored in the middle frame but the Saints went into the second intermission up 6-2. Both teams scored three goals in the third period with Chase Anderson, Connor Leies and Hawrys scoring for Nanaimo. The loss puts the Timbermen in a tie for fourth place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League with the New Westminster Salmonbellies as the two teams struggle to take hold of the league’s final playoff spot as the schedule approaches the midway point. Next up for the Timbermen is a date in Duncan with the Delta Islanders on Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Island Savings Centre. The Islanders recently had their undefeated streak snapped at the hands of the Coquitlam Adanacs as those two teams have identical 7-1 records eight games into the season, which ties them for first place.

LeBron leads Cavs to Game 3 OT win TOM WITHERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — LeBron James dropped to his knees and slapped the floor with his hand. He was exhausted and exhilarated — and one win from the NBA Finals. “I gave everything I have,” James said. James shook off an atrocious shooting start, withstood Atlanta’s gritty comeback and battled cramps and injuries to record a triple-double, and the Cleveland Cavaliers took a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals with a 114-111 overtime victory on Sunday night. James missed his first 10 shots, but finished with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. The Cavs needed every single one of them to hold off the top-seeded Hawks, who fought Cleveland until the final seconds despite being without injured shooter Kyle Korver and losing Al Horford, who was ejected in the first half. James, who favoured his right leg for most of the fourth quarter and asked to come out of the game in OT before re-considering, hit a 3-pointer with 36.4 seconds left to put the Cavs ahead by one, and the superstar dropped a runner with 12.8 left to make it 114-111. “He just wouldn’t let us lose,” coach David Blatt said. Atlanta had two chances to tie it in the final seconds,
but Shelvin Mack missed two 3-pointers. When the final horn sounded, James collapsed to the floor and had to be helped to his feet by his teammates. It was their turn to carry him. James received treatment following the game and the four-time league MVP grimaced as he took his seat on the podium for the postgame news conference. “I’ve been better,” he said when asked how he was feeling. “I play to exhaustion. I give as much as I can give, and sometimes the body just shuts down. “In overtime I asked to come out, but I actually had a second thought. I wouldn’t have felt right about the situation. It was mind over matter there for me. I’m playing through a lot but it doesn’t matter. If I’m putting on the uniform and I’m on the floor, I have to make things happen for our team. It’s that simple.” James will have just one day to rest up before the Cavs try to earn their second Finals trip — and the fifth in a row for James — in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Jeff Teague scored 30 points and Paul Millsap 22 for the Hawks, who scratched and clawed for 53 minutes. Down 10 in the fourth, the Hawks showed championship toughness and nearly pulled off a win that would have guaranteed them another home game on Thursday.
NEW YORK — Scoring goals made the Tampa Bay Lightning one of the NHL’s most entertaining teams this season. Playing defence for the first time in three games has them within a victory of the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in franchise history. Steven Stamkos set up Valtteri Filppula’s go-ahead goal and scored another and the Lightning pushed the New York Rangers to the brink of playoff elimination with 2-0 victory Sunday night in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals. The shutout came after the Lightning gave up five goals in each of the past two games and allowed New York to score two power-plays goals in each of the last three games. This was a total shutdown of league’s best team in the regular season. “If we’re going to have any chance of winning, that’s how we have to do it,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “And you look at the way sometimes you get caught up, and we did, judging our game on how many scoring chances we get; and really you should judge your game on how many you give up. “And we got away from that. Our team has that mentality sometimes, and you have to pull the reins back and talk about what we’ve talked about from the first day of training camp. It’s not how many you score. It’s how many you keep out of the net.” Ben Bishop, who gave up all 10 goals in the previous two games, had 26 saves in posting his second shutout and getting Tampa Bay within a win of returning to the finals for the first time since 2004. Game 6 is Tuesday night in Florida “Obviously we weren’t happy with the last couple of games with how many scoring chances we were giving up,” said Bishop, who left pregame warmups early after taking a shot in the groin. “We looked at it, we talked about and I thought we did a better job tonight. Guys came up some huge blocked shots at the end.” Tampa Bay’s special teams were outstanding. They killed off four power plays in clinical fashion in the opening 31 min-

utes of a scoreless game, limiting New York to four shots, and then Stamkos added a power-play goal after Filppula opened the scoring. “I think we did what the Rangers did last game, we bent, but we didn’t break,” said Stamkos, who has seven goals in his last 10 playoff games. “It was a huge effort by our penalty kill,” Cooper added. “They get that first one, who knows how this game turns.” This isn’t the first time the Rangers have been on the edge of seeing their Presidents’ Trophy-winning season come to an end. They trailed the Washington Capitals 3-1 in the conference semifinals and rallied. They also overcame a 3-1 deficit last year against Pittsburgh. “We just have to go down there and play confident, play our best game, and try to get the win,” Rangers defenceman Marc Staal said. This was a game the Rangers controlled early. The power plays gave them a chance to put Tampa Bay down and they
failed to convert, which was surprising because New York had two power-play goals in each of the three previous games in the series. A little less than 2 minutes after the Lightning killed off a tripping penalty to Andrej Sustr, the Lightning took the lead and the excitement out of the Madison Square Garden crowd. Defenceman Anton Stralman sent a great bank pass up the side boards to Stamkos. He carried the puck into the Rangers’ zone, found Filppula coming down the middle and the centre beat Henrik Lundqvist with a shot to the upper part of the net. It was his third goal of the post-season and probably his most important. The Lightning had withstood the Rangers’ push and they were in control. After Staal picked up his second penalty of the game, the Lightning needed just over a minute to double the lead. It came on a tic-tac-toe goal by Stamkos, his fourth in the last four games.

Jays evade sweep from Mariners in win DANIEL GIRARD THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Aaron Sanchez is getting more comfortable with each outing on the mound. The Blue Jays right-hander, making just his ninth career start, had another solid performance on Sunday as Toronto defeated the Seattle Mariners 8-2. “It’s been flowing and we’re just kind of running with it,” Sanchez (4-4) said after going 6-2/3 innings. The 22-year-old was coming off a career high 7-1/3 innings start on Tuesday. He said that ever since his third start of the season, a win over the Baltimore Orioles in April, “things just kind of started rolling.” “It’s about minimizing the damage as much as you can and keeping these guys in the game,” Sanchez said. “That’s my job. Keep this team in the game and give them a chance to score some runs.” That’s how things unfolded Sunday. Sanchez surrendered a leadoff homer to Kyle Seager in the second inning but then kept the Mariners off the scoreboard until he was chased from the game in the seventh. Toronto (20-26) was also able to avoid a three-game sweep in its series against the Mariners (20-23). Ryan Goins and Edwin Encarnacion hit tworun homers in the fifth inning off Seattle starter Taijuan Walker (1-5), who had held the Blue Jays hitless through the first four innings. The Blue Jays added four more runs in the seventh inning to blow the game open and win for just the third time in the past 12 games. Toronto is 0-3-1 in its last four series. “He just gets better and better,” Toronto manager John Gibbons said of Sanchez. “You see it in every start. A big part of that, I think, is because he’s cut down on the walks.” Sanchez walked two, struck out four and gave up seven hits in a 97-pitch performance. “He looks more comfortable.”

eclarer swiftly drew trump and conceded the ace of hearts, N-S +1430. The lead of the heart ace followed by another would produce a second defensive trick when East ruffs to set the slam. Should West have found the killing lead? North’s diamond cue bid promised a good hand but said nothing about his diamond holding. South revealed the ace of diamonds and North subsequently disclosed the ace of clubs via a return cue bid. South’s advance to the major suit slam indicated that he owned a heart control which had to be the king. The diamond lead would be successful when both declarer and dummy held two diamonds and South would be unable to dispose of the loser on the club winners. The auction also intimated that South was fully prepared for West to lead a diamond. It is also true that East declined to double North’s cue bid but not much can be read into this because East held neither the ace or queen of diamonds. The selection of the heart ace was a viable alternative to a diamond and perhaps worthy of more consideration especially in light of the alacrity with which South advanced to a slam. N-S had riven to an excellent contract but were fortunate that West settled upon a diamond lead.

TV, film actress Anne Meara dies at age 85 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Actress and comedian Anne Meara has died. She was 85. Her husband, Jerry Stiller, and son Ben Stiller say Meara died Saturday. No other details were provided. The Stiller family released a
statement to The Associated Press on Sunday describing Jerry Stiller as Meara’s “husband and partner in life.” “The two were married for 61 years and worked together almost as long,” the statement said. The couple performed as Stiller & Meara on “The Ed Sullivan
Show” and other programs in the 1960s. Meara also appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, including recurring roles on “All My Children” and “The King of Queens.” Besides Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller, Meara is survived by her daughter, Amy, and several grandchildren.
Be neutral toward these co-workers Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I work in an office with 35 women, and it seems as though someone is always hating someone else. Right now, I am the target of two women. One of these women used to be my friend, and I have no idea why she isn’t any longer. I once asked her about it, but her reply surprised me. She said I took advantage of her by switching shifts so I could leave early while she worked late. I double-checked and discovered that, of the many times we switched, I ended up working late shifts more often than she did. She also said I spoke poorly about her ex-husband, who cheated on her for years while she cried on my shoulder. She claims she never once spoke against my ex, but the truth is, her constant negative comments were instrumental in my final decision to leave him. I don’t understand why she is angry enough to end a decadeslong friendship, although she has done this with other people in her life. She now works with a woman who used to be friendly but no longer speaks to me except to insult me. I have done nothing to deserve this treatment. I still am friendly toward them because I don’t want to lower myself to their childish level. But it bothers me, especially because it is so obvious. Is there any way to make this better, or do I simply have to live with it? — Upset at Work
Dear Upset: Your ex-friend and her co-worker enjoy the negative vibes because it makes them feel powerfull. Because they feed off of each other, it prevents either one from listening to others’ opinions or working out their issues. It’s not uncommon for co-workers to behave as though they never left high school. Stop trying to befriend either of these women, and ignore their negativity. Do your job, act professionally and neutrally toward them, and try to make friends with others. These sad women aren’t worth one second of your time.
Dear Annie: I am a communication skills consultant. I disagree with your response to “Beaucoup Baffled,” who received an invitation to an overseas wedding and wanted to know whether she could bring a friend. You suggested a rather cryptic response (“I’m not sure I’m up to making such a long journey by myself”) in the hope that the future bride would understand the hidden meaning. Why not just ask a simple question, such as “Would it be OK if I brought my boyfriend?” — Blainville, Quebec Dear Quebec: We understand your objection, but it is wrong to put the bride in a position where she could feel obligated to invite an extra person. She may not have the room or the budget to do so. She even may have intended to introduce her traveling friend to a nice French guy. By saying that one is not up to making the trip alone, it gives the bride the option of including the extra person without backing her into a corner or forcing her to be unkind.

NHL PLAYOFFS
Time running short for the Ducks Anaheim squad must shake off another overtime loss if they want to challenge for the Stanley Cup GREG BEACHAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, Calif. — After 17 grueling periods crammed into just four games, the Anaheim Ducks have no doubt they can play at hockey’s highest level with the Chicago Blackhawks. Heading into a pivotal Game 5 on Monday in the Western Conference finals, the Ducks also realize their two gut-wrenching overtime losses were missed opportunities to take out their veteran, playoff-tested opponents — and they can’t afford two more. Chicago evened the series at two games apiece on Saturday night with Antoine Vermette’s goal in double overtime. The 5-4 win was the Blackhawks’ fourth OT victory of an increasingly charmed post-season. Anaheim still hasn’t lost in regulation in the entire Stanley Cup playoffs, but Chicago has a knack for big moments that the Ducks haven’t matched in this series. So the Ducks will keep hitting hard, skating well and hoping the late-game bounces — and a few more whistles — start going against Chicago. “I think (the Blackhawks) know they’re in a series,” Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said Sunday. “I mean, I don’t think they think they’ve had it very easy. It’s our job to continue to make them feel that way.” Both teams spent Sunday flying to the West Coast and resting up for the next collision in an already draining series. The Ducks have followed through on their plan to batter the Blackhawks’ short-staffed defence with relentless checking and hard hits, but Chicago is surviving so far. “We’re just going to keep with our game plan,” said Ducks centre Ryan Kesler, who has been matched against Chicago captain Jonathan Toews all series. “I think it will wear them down. It’s going to wear them down. No human can withstand that many hits. We’re going to keep banging

out there and going after them.” The Blackhawks were credited with 52 hits of their own in Game 4, but that shaky defence also allowed three goals in 37 seconds in the third period, blowing a late two-goal lead. The defencemen playing heavy minutes don’t acknowledge any damage from Anaheim’s cumulative pressure: Brent Seabrook dismissed the idea with a shrug and a smile. “I think it’s both ways,” Chicago winger Bryan Bickell said. “They are wearing us down, but they’re getting tired from wearing us down.” And for all the entertainment value of the first four games, one other aspect of this series is clear from the franchises’ first playoff meeting: These West powers
have already learned to dislike each other. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford exemplified the growing mutual distaste late in regulation of Game 4 when he delivered an unpenalized, two-handed slash to Matt Beleskey’s chest, nearly letting in a winning goal in the process. Afterward, Beleskey said he is “sick of” the Blackhawks. “This series is pretty amazing,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. “Every game is very close, very competitive. The road to trying to win the Cup has some amazing swings and highs, lows and twists and turns. The deeper you get in series, it is all the more challenging.

OT goal lifts Cassels, Gens to victory over Remparts QUEBEC — Defenceman Stephen Desrocher whipped a shot under the crossbar at 18:07 of overtime to give the Ontario Hockey league champion Oshawa Generals a 5-4 victory over the host Quebec Remparts on Sunday at the Mastercard Memorial Cup. Oshawa’s Tobias Lindberg forced extra time with a onetimer from close range on a power play with 2:09 left in regulation time, to the dismay of most of the 10,970 at the Pepsi Colisee. The Generals (2-0) had blown three one-goal leads, the last one when Dmytro Timashov scored twice in a 3:09 span of the third to give Quebec (1-1) its first lead. Quebec had just used its time out when Cole Cassels won a faceoff in the Remparts zone and Desrochers scored his second of the tournament. Michael McCarron, Michael Dal
The Ducks realize the stakes at Honda Center on Memorial Day, but Boudreau ordered his players to spend their Sunday thinking about anything but hockey. They hope their season-long knack for winning one-goal games will show up again late in a series being decided by thin margins in every aspect. “It’s about responding,” Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf said. “Everything that we designed this team around this year, I think, was our ability to put things past us and move on and keep playing, and not let things affect us outside the game, or from game to game. So I think we get right back at it again, anxious to get back on the ice after a disappointing loss.”

was a great demonstration of that.” A five-goal performance in Game 4 was a boost to the Blackhawks, who managed just three even-strength goals in the first 14 periods of this series against Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen. “I thought the last game was a big step to find the back of the net against Andersen,” Bickell said. “You see that he is kind of human, because he’s been standing on his head as of late.” The Blackhawks also have benefited from a distinct advantage in penalties, with just 22 minutes in the box compared to 38 for Anaheim. The Ducks are trying desperately not to criticize the officiating, hoping they’ll be rewarded later.
Colle and Dakota Mermis had the other goals for Oshawa, which outshot Quebec 50-25. The Generals are guaranteed to at least reach the semifinals of the fourteam event with their second victory of the tournament. Defencemen Raphael Maheux and Ryan Graves also scored for the Remparts. The NHL draft-eligible Timashov, a Ukrainian-born Swede who ended a 17-game goal drought, beat Ken Appleby on a bad-angle shot from the right side on a power play to tie the game at 5:39. Then, he scored another from a tight angle on the left side at 8:48 to make it 4-3 Quebec. The Generals dominated territorially for most of the game but Quebec’s Zach Fucale was solid in goal. The Generals scored on their first shot as Dal Colle’s wrist shot was deflected in by McCarron at 2:18. Quebec, however, tied it at 5:43 when Maheux took a crossice pass from Anthony Duclair
and beat Appleby with a wrist shot. Vladimir Tkachev missed the net on a good chance from the slot and saw the puck go around the boards for a 2-on-1 the other way, and McCarron fed Dal Colle for his second of the tournament at 12:40. Graves tied it with his second in as many games with a bullet shot from the point 12:45 into the second. The Generals still had pressure after a power play when a seeing-eye wrist shot from the point by Mermis got through traffic and into the net 2:34 into the third, only to see Timashov erase that lead and put Quebec ahead for the first time in the game. The Quebec champion Rimouski Oceanic face the Western Hockey League champion Kelowna Rockets on Monday night. Oshawa plays Kelowna on Tuesday and Quebec meets Rimouski to close out round-robin play on Wednesday.
QUEBEC — Attending a reunion of the Quebec Remparts’ 2006 Memorial Cup championship team brought back the good times for former hockey prodigy Angelo Esposito. In those days, the smooth skating centre was considered a candidate to go first overall in the 2007 NHL draft and, while not quite a generational player like Connor McDavid, become a star. It didn’t quite work out that way for the Montreal native, who ended up going 20th overall to Pittsburgh, bounced around a few organizations, and never played an NHL game. “That was a while ago, but you’ll never forget winning the Memorial Cup and bringing it back here and having thousands of fans in front of you while you’re up on stage holding up the Cup,” Esposito said Sunday. “It’s something I’ll never forget.” Nearly the entire 2006 Remparts squad was on hand to be honoured at Quebec’s game against the Oshawa Generals. A few missed it, including Russian star Alexander Radulov who had visa trouble, but players like San Jose defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic and goalie Cedrick Desjardins were on hand. Junior hockey was the high point for Esposito, who had 39 goals and 98 points in his first season. His stock dropped when he fell to 79 points in his draft year. He slipped again to 69 the following season, but had his moment at the world junior championship in Ottawa where he scored the game winner in the final for Canada. Since then, a succession of injuries, including two torn ACL ligaments, a torn MCL and a hip problem, have stalled his career and dropped him into obscurity. Last season, he played one game for Fort Wayne of the ECHL and then was waived and didn’t play again. “It was a tough year mentally and physically,” the 26-year-old said. “I’ve been through a lot over the last few years, so I took

the year off. “I started training about two months ago and I’m looking to go back and play in Europe again next year.” Pittsburgh traded him to Atlanta and he spent time in the Florida and Dallas organizations before he was released in 2012. He played a year in Finland, another in Italy and another in the Austrian league, not scoring many goals on any stop. “You have to learn to accept things,” he said. “Everyone’s destined for something in life. “It’s too bad I never got to step on the ice in the NHL. You never want to say never, but you have to be realistic and come to terms with it. There’s something else waiting out there and hopefully I get to achieve something else.” Vlasic feels for his former teammate. “He had so much talent, so much potential,” said Vlasic. “It’s too bad. He was such a nice guy, such a great player.” Esposito thought about retiring, but wasn’t ready for life without hockey. How good it can be was underlined by getting back together with his Memorial Cup teammates. “It means a lot,” he said. “They were great moments. You form bonds with a group of guys, like today, we haven’t talked in a while, but it’s like you saw them yesterday.”

Letterman drives into retirement with tribute Caricature of legendary TV host placed on side of race car DAN GELSTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — David Letterman has a new No. 1 on his personal Top Ten list of reasons he loves the Indianapolis 500. The freshly retired Letterman was all grins Sunday as his IndyCar team paid tribute to the former “Late Show” host by putting a gap-toothed, smiling caricature of his face and #thanksdave on driver Oriol Servia’s yellow car for the big race. “With everything that’s happened, it’s the highlight of my career,” Letterman said. “It’s crazy it’s the Indianapolis 500. Regrettable my face, but also my name on that car. It’s just delightful.” Letterman was dressed in a red shirt with a race sponsor “Steak ’n Shake” logo. He promised Servia he would buy the burgers with an Indy win. He’d have to wash it down with a swig of milk.
It was easy to find the Rahal Letterman Racing spot in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway paddock: There was a red “Late Show with David Letterman” sign and the same grinning caricature that was featured on Servia’s car. Team members wore grey T-shirts with their own “Top Ten” list of reasons they love Letterman. Among them: Cries on the parade lap. Letterman was born and raised in Indianapolis, spending his younger years in the Broad Ripple section of town. He went to Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, and early in his career served as a pit reporter for ABC; search on YouTube for his interview of Mario Andretti after the former champion crashed out of the 1971 race. Letterman got into team ownership in the 1990s with former Indy 500 champion Bobby Rahal, and businessman Mike Lanigan came aboard to form what is
now Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Letterman struck a friendship with Rahal after the retired driver appeared on his show after winning the 1986 Indy 500. Letterman could have filled an Indy 500 starting grid with all the series drivers he had on the show. Graham and Bobby Rahal were guests on “The Late Show” and the Indy 500 champion usually brought along the Borg-Warner Trophy. “I’m just really pissed off because he finished this week,” Servia joked. “He couldn’t wait until next week? Because usually the winner goes to his show.” Letterman was relaxed as he strolled through Indianapolis Motor Speedway, even inviting one fan over a barrier to sign autographs. “Are you nervous?” Servia asked. “No, I won’t be nervous until they start ’em up and then I just get crazy nervous,” Letterman said.
TRENTON, N.J. — John Forbes Nash Jr., a mathematical genius whose struggle with schizophrenia was chronicled in the 2001 movie “A Beautiful Mind,” has died along with his wife in a car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike. He was 86. Nash and Alicia Nash, 82, of Princeton Township, were killed in a taxi crash Saturday, state police said. A colleague who had received an award with Nash in Norway earlier in the week said they had just flown home and the couple had taken a cab home from the airport. Russell Crowe, who portrayed Nash in “A Beautiful Mind,” tweeted that he was “stunned.” “An amazing partnership,” he wrote. “Beautiful minds, beautiful hearts.” Known as brilliant and eccentric, Nash was associated with Princeton University for many years, most recently serving as a senior research mathem-
atician. He won the Nobel Prize in economics in 1994 for his work in game theory, which offered insight into the dynamics of human rivalry. It is considered one of the most influential ideas of the 20th century. Just a few days ago, Nash had received a prize from the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters in Oslo with New York University mathematician Louis Nirenberg, who said he’d chatted with the couple for an hour at the airport in Newark before they’d gotten a cab. Nirenberg said Nash was a truly great mathematician and “a kind of genius.” “We were all so happy together,” Nirenberg said. “It seemed like a dream.” John David Stier, Nash’s son with his first wife, said he learned of the death Sunday morning. “It’s very upsetting,” he said. In an autobiography written for The Nobel Foundation Web site, Nash said delusions caused him to resign as a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Actress urges tourists to pay visit to earthquake-hit Nepal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KALLABARI, Nepal — Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon is urging tourists to come to Nepal, where two powerful earthquakes in the last month killed thousands of people and raised concerns that the nation’s vital tourism industry could be seriously hurt. Sarandon is in Nepal for five days, staying with the famed Kung-fu nuns in a Buddhist monastery and later in an orphanage that was damaged in one of the quakes. “It is important to emphasize that by the fall, when monsoon ends, people should make their reservations now if they want to help
and they want to come and visit because it is very, very important to keep all these jobs alive,” Sarandon said Sunday while inaugurating a campaign to build 201 huts for villagers outside of the capital, Kathmandu, who lost their homes in one of the earthquakes. “I think that would be the next wave — to think of Nepal not as an ongoing disaster, but as a country that has found its way back and has many monuments that haven’t fallen and many beautiful areas that can be still safe to trek,” she said. A magnitude-7.8 quake struck Nepal on April 25, killing at least 8,490 people. A magnitude-7.3 quake on May 12 killed 158.
