Randi Love in uniform in 2008.

The Kamloops RCMP detachment is not commenting on a former high-profile officer charged with trafficking cocaine while on the force, but the national police force’s B.C. headquarters has offered some information about the allegations against Randi Love.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said police launched an investigation into Love’s alleged cocaine

trafficking on July 16, 2015.

“As the investigation progressed and information was corroborated, Randi Love was suspended from duty on Aug. 7, 2015,” Vermeulen said.

“In October 2015, she submitted her discharge papers and is no longer a member of the RCMP.” Three counts of trafficking in a controlled substance were laid against Love last week. She is expected to make her first appearance in Kamloops provincial court on June 16.

According to court documents, Love is accused of trafficking in

cocaine on three occasions last June.

At the time, KTW has learned, she was on medical leave from the RCMP after suffering an injury on the job.

Love made headlines in 2013 when she testified at the fraud trial of her former boyfriend, disgraced RCMP Const. Trent Wessner.

Wessner was convicted of bilking Costco out of $400 and subsequently left policing for a job as a railway conductor.

In 2008, Love was the media-relations officer at the Kamloops RCMP detachment.

KGHM’s Ajax property immediately south of Aberdeen. Tough times in the mining sector have led to job losses at KGHM Ajax’s Seymour Street office.

KGHM AJAX LAYS OFF SEVEN IN KAMLOOPS CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Citing ongoing economic challenges related to commodities, KGHM Ajax has slashed its workforce by seven people in Kamloops, including one of the public faces of the mining company.

Despite the layoffs, however, the company pledged to continue development of its copper and gold mine project in the historic Ajax pit south of Aberdeen.

“On Tuesday, I had to inform our staff of some changes that we

needed to make due to the current economic situation,” project manager Clyde Gillespie said.

Layoffs occurred in the company’s human-resources, procurement and accounting departments and included spokesman Robert Koopmans, who left the former Kamloops Daily News as editor in July 2013 to join the joint venture of a Polish mining giant and its Vancouver-based junior partner.

“KGHM remains committed to the Ajax Project, but the price of commodities has forced us to make some tough decisions,” Gillespie said in an emailed statement.

Mining companies across the globe have suffered as commodities, headlined by oil, spiralled downward. Recently, copper traded at $2.10 per pound, near a low reached earlier this year. It has steadily marched downward for five years.

The company has recently publicly stated it is slowing development of a copper-nickel project in Sudbury, Ont., and delaying the next phase of development of the massive Sierra Gorda mine in Chile.

Some of the functions done at the Kamloops office will be moved

to a Vancouver head office.

Gillespie said the company remains committed to obtaining environmental approval from the provincial and federal governments. The company placed the timeline for that approval on hold so it can respond to environmental and health concerns related to its studies and projections.

In January, KGHM Ajax released a report showing its cost to develop a mine south of Kamloops has ballooned 60 per cent, to $1.4 billion. Its feasibility plan is based on a long-term copper price of $3.21 a pound copper.

Wineries petition council CITY COUNCIL URGED TO RECONSIDER ALLOWING SAVE-ON-FOODS TO SELL B.C. VINO ON ITS SHELVES ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

As Kamloops wineries mount a petition to bring their products to Save-On-Foods, a Kamloops city councillor is arguing the province’s new rules for grocery store wine sales could be bad policy for all of B.C. Harper’s Trail winery owner Vicki Collett launched an online petition at Change.org earlier this week, urging city council to reconsider its decision not to allow the Sahali grocery store to sell B.C. VQA wines on its shelves, using a licence once held by adjacent Discover Wines.

The petition has already gained more than 700 supporters online and will be available to sign at the Harper’s Trail, Privato and Montey Creek wineries, as well as tomorrow’s farmers’ market downtown.

Collett said wineries and members of the public in favour of grocery store sales weren’t listened to by councillors, who cited concerns about the impact on private liquor stores and

Save-On’s ability to deal with underage shoppers in their 5-2 vote against the grocery chain’s request.

“What they did was wrong.

They didn’t listen to anything.

They already had their minds made up before the council meeting even started,” Collett said.

Collett plans to present the petition to council at a meeting in June.

“I don’t know if they’re going to change their minds or not, but if there’s any chance they may, I’m going to do whatever I can to show the citizens want this. Wineries want this. SaveOn wants this,” she said.

Coun. Marg Spina, who voted against Save-On’s request, along with councillors Tina Lange, Denis Walsh, Donovan Cavers and Pat Wallace, said public outcry won’t change her stance.

Spina also led the charge last year to implement a onekilometre rule, restricting where new liquor stores can set up in the city, allowing council to block Save-On’s plans.

“We already have 30 of that type of business doing the same thing in Kamloops.

T H E

J O Y

“Do we need more?” she told KTW. Spina said it would be unfair to allow Save-On to operate based on different rules than those that apply to private retail stores.

VQA licences allow stores to buy wine on consignment from wineries at a greater discount than what is available to private retailers.

Spina said that means less money from the sales of wines would go to the province.

“I like the model where the profits go to support our medical and health care and education. And I worry there won’t be enough money to support health care and education if we take away the government’s ability to put money into the coffers,” she said.

Spina is also worried NAFTA challenges could mean grocery stores end up selling a much wider variety of alcohol, hurting private retailers.

“Those 30 businesses have been upstanding citizens for all this time, paying taxes and creating jobs in the community, and I think I support those people,” she said.

TNRD looks to soak up sun The Thompson-Nicola Regional District Building at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue is home to the TNRD offices and the downtown library. The regional district board has agreed to look into the feasibility of retrofitting the structure with solar panels.

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s sunny ways could be coming to the ThompsonNicola Regional District.

The TNRD’s board of directors voted unanimously yesterday to fund a feasibility study to identify the viability of retrofitting its civic building at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue with a solar photovoltaic panel system.

The study comes with a price tag of $6,468. Of that amount, $2,640 is for the photovoltaic review, to be completed by Riverside Energy Systems, and $3,520 is for a structural review, to be done by West Edge Engineering.

The idea was brought to the board after director Jim Rivett, the mayor of Clinton, expressed interest in exploring the opportunity of implementing alternative-energy solutions for the TNRD Civic Building, which also houses the library.

KTW FILE PHOTO

The request followed Trudeau’s November visit to the climatechange summit in Paris.

“It behooves everyone to look at it and say, ‘What can we do?’”

Rivett told KTW. “As an organization like the TNRD, we can be leaders. We can show people that this kind of technology will work here in this area.

“Why wouldn’t we try and get it in, be the leader and demonstrate

that alternative energy is something that everyone should be pursuing?”

The photovoltaic system, similarly used at Thompson Rivers University, the City of Kamloops, the Village of Ashcroft and the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, would make use of a solar-panel array to convert the sun’s energy to electricity for the building’s use.

The civic build-

Kamloops’ ONLY Drug Free, Surgery Free Solution to Pain Relief using

ing’s primary heating source is a boiler system fuelled by natural gas. In 2015, the TNRD paid a little more than $140,000 to BC Hydro for energy consumption, with bills being particularly high as a result of cooling in the summer months.

According to the TNRD report, the photovoltaic system would initially target periods of high demand to reduce costs. Excess power could be sold back to the hydro grid.

The savings, size of the system and time frame for paying off the system will all be determined by the study.

According to the report submitted at yesterday’s meeting, in the district’s discussions with TRU, the university seems to have indicated the system has had a positive influence. TRU also noted the payback

period for the panels is roughly 10 years, compared to their 20-year lifespan.

In a conversation with KTW on Wednesday, Ron Storie, the regional district’s director of community services, said the TNRD building seems well suited for the photovoltaic system, which has the potential to save roughly $27,000 by keeping the facility out of higher hydro rate brackets, used when consumption creeps over a certain amount.

“As soon as you jump into that next tier, that’s what we’re trying to reduce,” he said.

“I think this is where the feasibility will actually tell us if it makes sense, or not, to go that route.”

It’s possible the TNRD could recoup between 33 per cent and 100 per cent of the system’s costs through federal and provincial grant funding.

The results of the feasibility study are expected in November.

Should Aberdeen or downtown and the North Shore become the city’s growth hot spots for the next 20 years?

The City of Kamloops wants public feedback on its official community plan (OCP) — and it’s offering up a free meal to those who get involved.

Over the next month, the city is looking for residents to host OCPizza night meetings to discuss some of the proposals that could help form Kamloops’ next long-term plan.

Meetings can include four to 12 people and are meant to run one to two hours.

In exchange for feedback, the city provides policy handouts, worksheets and pizza vouchers.

Community planning supervisor Jason Locke said he’s hoping to get direction from residents on which of two growth plans they prefer — one that would see the city’s development carry on much as it has for the last

decade or one that tries to direct more of that growth to the city’s most central neighbourhoods through higher-density housing.

Locke said the second option, dubbed the “think big” scenario, would better fit with the Sustainable Kamloops plan the city adopted in 2010, which calls for the city to build up areas that already have infrastructure rather than sprawling farther outward.

The new plan would also encourage more densification around “neighbourhood centres” outside of the Tranquille Market and downtown.

“These are areas that have an existing element of commercial [development], so how can we densify those areas so we are maximizing those areas before we go out to new greenfield developments?” Locke said.

While one option would see about 50 per cent of the city’s growth take place in the southwest neighbourhoods of Aberdeen, Pineview, Dufferin and Sahali, the

VIEWPOINT THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The return of the B.C. Lions to Kamloops.

Training camp 2016 is underway at Hillside Stadium, with rookies on the field today and tomorrow and the veterans set to get into action Sunday, when main camp begins.

The CFL squad will call Kamloops home until June 16, with ample opportunity for fans to watch the Leos practise, including FanFest Day, which this year will take place on the evening of Saturday, June 4.

The Lions are committed to Kamloops for training camp through June 2017, but may move to another city in 2018 to fulfil their role as the province’s team.

Do yourself a favour and check out the Lions while you still can.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The immediate outlook for mining companies such as KGHM Ajax.

The sluggish economy and low copper prices are taking their toll on the resource sector and led this week to the company laying off seven people in its Seymour Street office, including former Kamloops Daily News editor Robert Koopmans, who was KGHM Ajax’s main public-relations person.

Regardless of how one feels about the proposed copper and gold mine, it is always a sad day when livelihoods are impacted.

HOT: The sleuthing skills of Kamloops Mounties.

As a short story online at kamoopsthisweek.com outlines, officers tracked the use of a stolen credit card to a home on Alberni Avenue after the not-too-bright thief bought a bunch of clothing online and had the ill-gotten goods delivered to his home.

As Homer Simpson would say, “Doh!”

If you haven’t yet, get Hip

S

o much has been written from coast to coast to coast since news of Gordon Downie’s terminal illness broke that it is difficult to find a clear thought amid the tributes and memories.

The fact there has been so much published on the man who personifies the Tragically Hip is testament to the fact the band stands alone atop the Canadian rock scene — a music dynasty without peer.

From the hockey puck rock of the band’s foundation in the late 1980s to mid-1990s, to the culturally significant lyrics as the group matured, the Hip long ago cemented its importance alongside anything else that has ever emerged in the Canadian arts scene.

That is not hyperbole.

That is fact.

From the devastating Wheat Kings to the bittersweet Bobcaygeon to far too many songs to count in between, the Hip has produced a library of songs that can just as easily be considered poetic history lessons.

The band’s discography can teach as much about Canada as can the average Grade 10 social studies curriculum.

Where else but in Canada can a rock band wax eloquent about David Milgaard, Quebec separation, Jacques Cartier, Millhaven Institution and hockey icon Bill Barilko, all set to a hypnotic backbeat and a lead singer’s mesmerizing spastic ballet?

Every Hip fan is protective of the band they consider the definition of Canadiana.

If you get the Hip, if you truly get the band, you will know what Downie is referring to in

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS an obscure line buried in a dark corner of lyrics set deep within an album — in a song that will never be heard on the radio.

You will find yourself in a pub with another fan, having a conversation consisting entirely of Hip lyrics — and finding it makes sense.

You will regard non-fans with a whiff of suspicion and be tempted to cut them, just to see if they really are a red-blooded Canadian.

You will feel giddy at the reality the band sells out the largest arenas in Canada in minutes, yet plays to tiny venues just a few kilometres south of the border because the contrast reminds you the Hip is Canada’s band.

The fact the Americans don’t get them is the point.

I have seen Gordon Downie, Gord Sinclair, Bobby Baker and Paul Langlois perform their magic 13 times — from a small bar in Edmonton back in the late 1980s to sold-out Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver in the 1990s to the intimate, century-old Byrum Theatre in Pittsburgh in 2009.

Each concert was epic, each set list its own brilliance, each Gordie Downie shake and shimmy

a marvel to watch.

A KTW reader posted on our website this week that the Tragically Hip was the soundtrack of his youth.

I am sure many of us in our 40s (and 30s and 50s) feel the same.

I know the Hip was the fourth person on a 1996 trip to Mexico I took with my younger brother and our best friend. We reminisced this week about that trip to Cabo and the Hip was foremost in the memories, Day for Night, Road Apples, Up To Here and Fully Completely CDs forming the looping soundtrack of the vacation.

Hell, I nearly destroyed a band’s stand-up microphone in a Gastown pub during my prewedding stag a few months later as I tried in vain to emulate Downie by warbling New Orleans is Sinking from the stage.

Downie is 52. He has a wife and four kids. He has terminal brain cancer and may live for another year.

Yet he and his band will spend the summer on one last tour of the country that is them. It starts July 22 in Victoria and ends Aug. 20 in their hometown of Kingston.

I can only imagine the impact my 14th and final Hip concert will have on me, but I plan on being in one of the 11 cities that will mark the end of an era in Maple Leaf music.

If you know the Hip, you know what I mean; if you don’t, you really should check your passport.

YOUR OPINION

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ADULTS CAN LEARN FROM KIDS Editor: Re: (‘Fight over Provincial Winter Fair lands in court,’ May 20): If only location of the fair was the issue the Kamloops Exhibtion Association (KXA) was facing.

I believe the issue facing the KXA is a lack of trust and confidence in the KXA’s ability to act with the highest of moral and ethical standards. In public, the KXA portrays the fair issue as a location dispute.

I believe this is being raised because it is sure to generate opinion and distract many from the issue.

The fair is an event that has, for decades, showcased the importance of agriculture and has put the spotlight on the best youth leaders in the region.

Now is the time for the adults to show the same standard of leadership demonstrated by the youth. I believe leaders choose mediation over litigation.

Perhaps that is the place to start.

PLEASE BUS ME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS Editor: How many of the good citizens of Kamloops would like to see free bus service on Christmas Day so those without vehicles can travel to have Christmas dinner with loved ones and family?

No need to run all buses, maybe just the most popular routes, such as 1, 3, 4,6 , 7 and 9.

With the release of funding for additional hours, I’m sure it would be feasible to try it this year.

For example, we would need only three drivers.

One driver could do the No. 1 route and, at Lansdowne exchange, do the No 9 route and keep repeating this.

The second driver could do the No. 3 route and, at Lansdowne exchange, do the No. 7 route and keep repeating this.

The third driver could do the No. 6 route, then the old No. 8 route up by the hospital, down Strathacona and

Battle, then go to TRU and go out as a No. 4. The driver can keep repeating this until late afternoon, when the buses do not run, so drivers can go home and have Christmas dinner with their families.

According to my calculations, it would cost less than $1,000, which is pretty reasonable for all that goodwill on such a special day, wouldn’t you agree?

Janille Abbott Kamloops

ON COUNCIL AND ITS WINE VOTE Editor: I find the decision by council to deny Save-OnFoods the right to sell B.C. wine unbelievable.

This was made by people we voted into office to help our city become what it should be in the 21st century, yet here we are stuck in the 19th century due to our council being unable to keep up with modern times.

I remember when Woodward’s and The Bay planned their move from downtown to what was to become Aberdeen Mall.

There was a big cry about leaving a sinking ship, but council of the day didn’t stop that progression.

It was considered moving forward, as it should have been.

R. Maltman Kamloops

Editor: I disagree with council’s decision.

To suggest this is a potential risk to public health would only be reasonable if council also revoked liquor licences from existing stores.

Either adults can be trusted to drink responsibly or they cannot. If not, then close all liquor stores.

The result means B.C. wines, including product from our four local wineries, will likely sell less.

Consumers will lose lower prices that Save-On’s larger purchasing power would provide to make B.C. wines even more attractive and an anti-competition city council acts as Big Brother It’s hard to fathom.

Brad Morse Kamloops

Editor: The decision by council is indeed regretful.

Frankly, it is difficult to understand why council would support the financial needs of certain businesses, rather than the needs of the people of Kamloops.

In fact, the end result of this decision may actually be harmful to our reputation and could impact future economic development, especially in the tourism industry.

I should point out that in every known Western civilized country, one can buy a bottle of wine in a grocery store, even in small convenience stores.

WHO IS THIS CIGARETTE THIEF A lone male walked into the Save On Foods store in Westsyde on Tuesday, May 24th shortly before 3:00 pm and started to wonder around the store. The male watched one of the store staff open up the cigarette cabinet but failed to secure the cabinet before leaving to help another customer.

The male took advantage of the opportunity to help himself to the cigarettes and managed to take

UNUSUAL THEFT Sometime overnight on Saturday, May 7th, thieves went out of their way to steal an item from the Canadian Tire Store on 8th Street. A small garden shed that was bolted into the asphalt right in front of the store was the target of these thieves. The suspects would have been there for a length of time removing the bolts. Once the shed has been removed, there are only so many ways to move it, either by a vehicle or the suspects would have to carry it. This street is always busy

If anyone saw the shed being moved or noticed someone with a new shed in their yard, this would be the right time to call Crime Stoppers and remain anonymous, only your information will be used never your name.

As Kamloops’ annual Bike to Work Week returns for another year, participants at Thompson Rivers University are gearing up for a challenge like none before.

For the first time, TRU will stage a bike to work month, beginning alongside the week-long event and open to all.

Both the week and month of two-wheeled commuting begin on Monday.

“Bike to Work Week has been popular at TRU for many years, so sometimes it’s just a matter of taking something that’s been popular and extending it a bit and offering some incentives along the way,” said James Gordon, programs and research coordinator for TRU’s sustainability office.

Gordon said the week has benefits for both riders and the environment, by encouraging physical activity and reducing emissions from cars.

Faith Bateman, event co-ordinator for Bike to Work Week, said the more active commute also improves her work day.

“It just changes the whole tone of my day,” she said. “I feel healthier, more productive, I have way more energy to focus on my work.”

Bateman said a larger turnout can also show the city there’s demand for cycling improvements to make commuting or riding for fun easier and safer.

Riders looking to sign up for either the weekly or monthly events

can do so now at biketoworkweek. com/kamloops. Children and youth can also sign up for Bike to School Week, which runs alongside the regular event.

During the week, riders will be offered coffee and a chance to enter a draw for prizes between 6:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. each morning in Prince Charles Park at Columbia Street and 13th Avenue. Mini-celebration stations and afternoon stations will rotate across the city throughout the week.

An afternoon barbecue at the Riverside Park bandshell on Friday, June 3, will wrap up the week.

Bateman expects to see about 1,400 riders sign up by the time the event ends, noting it’s not uncommon for interested commuters to catch sight of their fellow cyclists early in the week and strap on a helmet for the next few days.

“They see the celebration stations and they see people riding and they say, ‘Oh, is it that time already?’” she said.

This year, Bateman said two new downtown stations will be added at Urban Systems, 286 St. Paul St., and at the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s customer care headquarters at 341 Victoria St. Riders who stop at Urban Systems will also be able to make use of a new bike-repair station, similar to those installed in several parks by the City of Kamloops.

The company was inspired to purchase the repair station after several of the city’s were stolen earlier this year.

Public Notice of Open House

Trans-Canada Highway Four-Laning Projects: Hoffman’s Bluff to Chase The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend an information session regarding four-laning projects planned for the Trans-Canada Highway from Hoffman’s Bluff to Chase.

Ministry staff will be on hand to provide information and answer questions.

This drop-in open house is scheduled for the following date: Tuesday, May 31, 2016 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Chase Community Hall 547 Shuswap Avenue, Chase, B.C.

WILDFIRE DATA L

ast year, men and women with the B.C. Wildfire Service, along with contracted crews, fought 1,859 fires that cost taxpayers $278 million. Detailed is what the province uses each year to stop fires from destroying homes and infrastructure and to protect forest values. Kamloops Airport is the headquarters of the B.C. Wildfire Service and home to one of the regional airtanker bases.

FROM THE GROUND INITIAL ATTACK CREWS: THE FIRST RESPONDERS

UNIT CREWS: IN FOR THE LONG HAUL

Teams of three firefighters often dispatched by helicopter, sometimes by truck.

They are self-contained and equipped with water pumps and chainsaws and can remain on site for 24 hours without resupply.

Crews are composed of 20 people for fires that cannot be contained by initial attack. They are expected to remain on site for as long as 72 hours. Once on site, the crew constructs a fire line, sets up pumps and may set up a camp for sustained action.

There are six crews of three people in the Kamloops Fire Zone; 26 teams in the larger region.

There is one unit crew based in Kamloops; seven in the larger Kamloops Fire Zone.

FROM THE SKY AIR TRACTOR AT-802F

ROLE: Airtanker CRUISE SPEED: 160 knots OPERATIONAL ENDURANCE: 4 hours MAX CAPACITY: 3,025 litres

Contracted for skimming operations.

These tankers can take retardant from the base, but after the retardant is dropped, they will scoop water from a nearby lake and add some foam concentrate to the water. The foam helps the water stick to forest fuels and also breaks surface tension to allow water to penetrate deeper into larger fuels, which slows evaporation, making the water more effective at suppressing fire.

Owned by Conair Group Inc. Turbinepowered, single-engine, light airtanker; one pilot. Purposefully built for fire retardant delivery and agricultural cropdusting. It is a land-based retardant aircraft that delivers 3,025 litres (800 U.S. gallons) of retardant to a fire and cruises at 240 km/h, dropping at 190 km/h. It has been used in B.C. since 1996.

TURBO COMMANDER 690

CESSNA 208B CARAVAN

at 225 km/h. Excels at quick responses over long distances, delivering large volumes and quickly building retardant lines to contain fire spread.

This aircraft is contracted for the season from Conair Group Inc. and Airspray Ltd. This turbine-powered birddog aircraft carries a crew of two: pilot and air attack officer. Used in British Columbia since 1994, it has replaced the Piper Aerostar. Cruising speed is 480 km/h and operational endurance is four hours. It is usually the first aerial resource over a fire.

It provides strategic and tactical communications to establish and maintain air traffic control, complete initial fire assessment, determine resource requirements and direct airtanker bombing runs.

The primary responsibility of the birddog crew is to direct the operation of air tankers to ensure that all actions are carried out safely and efficiently.

Owned by Airspray Ltd. And Conair Group Inc. Turbinepowered, fourengine, heavy airtanker carries a crew of two pilots. It was first built in the 1950s for overseas airliner use and has had a retardant tank added for firefighting.

Used in B.C. since 1994, it has the highest payload of all aircraft in the province’s retardant fleet. It cruises to fires at 560 km/h and drops retardant

sk Kiana Robinson if she feels sick and she’ll say, “No.” The French immersion student is like any other upbeat eight-yearold. In the KTW office, she can’t help but spin around in a rolling office chair while talking about dance class, how she wants to be a pediatric nurse and her desire to meet all the female WWE wrestlers.

But two months ago, Kiana was referred for a lung transplant to address complications arising from her cystic fibrosis, the genetic disease she was diagnosed with while still in the womb.

Her older sister has it, too.

Eleven-year-old Alysa was diagnosed at 18 months after a troublesome infancy.

“I was constantly at the hospital being like, ‘My baby is broken.

Fix her,’” said mother Nicole.

Cystic fibrosis affects the digestive system and lungs.

Patients have difficulty digesting fats and proteins and suffer malnutrition because of their inability of absorb nutrients.

They experience progressive and chronic lung damage and sinus infections, according to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Progressive loss of lung function is fatal.

The national Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History takes place Sunday on McArthur Island and the Robinson family — including youngest sibling, six-year-old Audrina — will be leading the local march toward a cure.

“Nine years ago, when Alysa was diagnosed, the median age of survival for cystic fibrosis patients was 36,” Matthew said.

“Now, it’s like 54. Just what they’ve done in nine years is huge.

“We pray and cross our fingers every day that, hopefully,

there will be a day where we can say there is a cure or control.”

For Kiana and Alysa, taking a breath is like inhaling through a straw with your nose plugged.

They spend 12 weeks a year in the hospital, more than two hours a day on nebulizers — machines that deliver medication as a gas — and swallow thousands of pills annually.

Alysa takes 32 a day, Kiana 21.

The sisters travel to Vancouver every three months to stay up to three weeks in the hospital on IV antibiotics because they can’t chance catching a cold.

Kiana’s lung function is holding steady at 30 per cent, so doctors are considering a transplant — the only steadfast treatment option, but not a cure.

Nicole and father Matthew stay at Ronald McDonald House during the family’s quarterly visits to

They plan hospitalization around breaks in the school year — Halloween, Christmas, spring break — to reduce lost class time.

If Kiana needs a transplant, the family will be looking at spending a year in Toronto for the surgery and recovery.

With the kids enrolling in more activities, it’s getting harder to maintain their schedules, but Matthew said living with cystic fibrosis is routine.

“We let them live lives, too,” he said.

“We want them to be able to enjoy being a child.”

Listening to Kiana and Alysa, it seems they are doing just that.

Ask the sisters how they feel about the hospital visits and they’ll say it’s normal. Ask them if it’s hard to breathe, they’ll say it’s not. Their disease is invisible and they don’t know any different.

“It’s worse than it appears,” Nicole said. “If you were to look at the kids, you wouldn’t guess they are as sick as they are and spend that much time in the hospital.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Nickelback and other Canadian musicians will be taking to the stage to raise money for people affected by the Fort McMurray wildfire.

Some of the other artists who are to play the June 29 Fire Aid benefit concert in Edmonton include Blue Rodeo, Corb Lund and Ian Tyson.

Organizers say all proceeds raised from the event at Commonwealth Stadium will benefit the Fort McMurray United Way to support the city’s efforts to rebuild.

More than 80,000 people

were forced from their homes on May 3 by the wildfire that ripped through the oilsands city.

Residents are to be allowed to return starting on June 1 if officials determine that conditions are safe.

Volunteer organizers of the concert include officials from the Oilers Entertainment Group and the Edmonton Eskimos Football Club.

“We had bands reaching out to us before we’d even had our first meeting,’’ said Harvey Cohen of Live Nation, one of the promoters.

“We already had bands

reaching out to us saying, ‘Hey are you planning on doing anything? We know you did a big flood concert in 2013, are you planning something as well for this?’ And so we got right to it.’’

Another fundraiser for Fort McMurray is set for June 5 in Toronto. Comedians Pat Thornton and Ryan Belleville are producing and hosting a 12-hour telethon at the Rivoli with proceeds going to the Red Cross.

Some of the lineup confirmed so far include Colin Mochrie, Sean Cullen, Mark Forward and the cast of CBC’s Baroness Von Sketch show.

The Weeknd and Belly were slated to tape an episode with the presumptive Republican nominee on Wednesday MESFIN FEKADU

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Canadian musicians the Weeknd and Belly have cancelled their performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! because Donald Trump was set to appear on the episode.

The Oscar and Grammynominated musicians were slated to record their performance Wednesday in Los Angeles for the late-night ABC show. Belly said he cancelled because he didn’t want to share a stage with Trump and disagrees with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s views and beliefs.

“I just didn’t want to feel like I was a part of a celebration for somebody who has beliefs that majority of us don’t agree with.’’

Trump has been criticized by some political rivals and voters for his comments on topics including women, refugees, immigrants and Muslims, such as when he said some Mexican immigrants in the U.S. illegally are “rapists” and when he called for a ban on Muslim immigration into the United States.

A Trump spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the Weeknd and Belly.

Trudeau touts trade at G7, warns of protectionism

Canadian PM meets with other G7 leaders as summit in Japan continues ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

SHIMA, Japan — Justin Trudeau talked up trade and warned of creeping protectionism yesterday as he met powerful world leaders in a G7 setting for the first time.

On the opening day of the G7 summit in Japan, Trudeau also used his audience with the heads of some of the planet’s biggest economies to promote Canada’s free-trade deal with Europe.

He focused on the CanadaEuropean Union treaty, known as CETA, in a bilateral chat with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Trudeau discussed the pact again in a one-on-one meeting with French President Francois Hollande.

And, in a working session with all the leaders, Trudeau once more touted the merits of international trade.

“When the middle class are anxious about their economic realities in their future, it’s easy to get trapped in demagoguery and protectionism,’’ Trudeau told his peers at the remote Shima resort, which

was shielded by barbed-wiretopped fences, checkpoints and waves of security officers scattered along a huge perimeter.

“We know trade-intensive industries pay 50 per cent higher wages, so we need to make a case for trade — it’s not just about nice political speeches.’’

Lawrence Herman, a Toronto-based trade lawyer with Herman and Associates, said Trudeau was targeting his remarks at the “darkening clouds on the trade horizon, notably in the U.S.’’ where the presidental candidates from both parties have come down hard against trade deals.

“So Trudeau wisely wants the G7 to strongly endorse a free-trade agenda, which hopefully will help spur CETA ratification in Europe and pressure the U.S. Congress to approve [the Trans-Pacific Partnership], both of which are languishing.’’

The G7 leaders largely focused their discussions on the global economy as the summit got underway.

The host, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, called

upon his counterparts to act to steer the world away from another global economic crisis.

U.S. President Barack Obama supported Abe’s call.

“We’ve all got a lot of work to do and we agreed to continue to focus on making sure that each country, based on its particular needs and capacities, is taking steps to accelerate growth,’’ Obama said.

Trudeau took a harder line and promoted his government’s plan to run deficits in order to invest in the economy as a way to boost growth.

“It’s not a question of whether to make investments, but what we are making investments in,’’ Trudeau told the session.

Trudeau’s personal G7 representative, who negotiates the wording of the leaders’ joint statement, said this year’s meeting is the prime minister’s first chance to tell his peers directly about Canada’s deficit-fuelled approach to lifting its economy.

But Peter Boehm said each G7 country has its own system and its own unique set of circumstances to navigate.

“The tools are not necessarily common to all, nor would the approaches be, but it’s an opportunity to do a little bit of show and tell,’’ he said.

G7 meetings, Boehm added, differ from other forums in the sense that leaders can have frank discussions with each another.

Those discussions included a lot of talk about CETA, which Boehm noted was Trudeau’s main focus heading into his meeting with Merkel.

Canada and the EU have signed CETA and, once ratified, the pact could come into force as early as next year.

International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland has hailed it as a “gold-plated trade deal.’’

Ratification will give Canada access to a 28-country market of 500 million people.

On Wednesday in Tokyo, Freeland echoed Trudeau’s concerns about shifting global sentiment about trade.

“We’re also very aware of the rising protectionist tide in many countries and we believe that it’s important to push against that tide,’’ Freeland told reporters.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Why are Islamists still attacking the West?

B

ecause most people think of Islamic State, alQaeda and their ilk as being crazies motivated solely by hatred, they are not puzzled by recent terrorist attacks on the West like those in Paris, Brussels and Los Angeles.

Like the villains in comic books, the terrorists are simply evil and no further explanation is needed. But in the real world, being violent and fanatical does not make you stupid.

The small group of Arab Islamists who started fighting the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 were by 2014 the rulers of a new country of some five-million people they call Islamic State, which suggests they are clever people who pursue rational strategies.

Yet they go on backing terrorist attacks in the West, which no

mass support Their doctrines were too weird and their behaviour too extreme.

So, by the late 1990s, the Islamists were looking for a different strategy.

It was Osama bin Laden, founder of alQaeda, who came up with a new strategy: attack the West.

The ultimate goal was still gaining power in the Arab world, but rather than revolution in the streets, the Islamists would now win power by leading a successful guerilla-resistance movement against an invasion by infidel foreigners.

Bin Laden had hit on this strategy because he had fought in Afghanistan as a volunteer — and that was exactly how the game played out there.

The Russians invaded in 1979 and Islamist extremists took over the resistance movement.

After a long and bloody war, the Russians

and 2000, but they had not managed to overthrow a single regime.

Their main strategy was always terrorism, simply because they lacked the resources for anything more ambitious. In theory, their terrorist attacks should have driven the regimes into extreme repression, which (again in theory) should have alienated the population and driven them into the arms of the revolutionaries.

Then the people, led by the Islamists and united in their wrath, would rise up and drive the oppressors from power.

The Islamists had a few early successes — the seizure of the Grand Mosque in Mecca in 1979 and the assassination of Egyptian president Anwar Sadat in 1981 — but their strategy did not work.

The Arab regimes did indeed become more oppressive, but the revolutionaries did not get

World

WATCH longer seems like a rational strategy.

It was once a perfectly sensible strategy.

By 2000, the Islamist revolutionaries of the Arab world were close to despair. They had been trying to overthrow the dictators and kings who ruled the Arab countries for a quarter-century and there was blood all over the walls.

About 300,000 Arabs were killed in the struggles between the Islamists and the regimes between 1975

went home in 1989 and the Afghan Islamists (the Taliban) took power because they were the heroes who had driven the infidel foreigners out.

Reliving this triumph required getting some other infidel army to invade a Muslim country — and the obvious choice was the U.S..

The Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York and Washington gave Americans the necessary motivation and two U.S. invasions followed in rapid succession, in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The mass-casualty terrorist attacks against Western targets continued for a long time (Madrid, Bali, London, etc.), presumably to give Western countries a reason to keep their troops in the Middle East.

But the attacks gradually diminished as alQaeda’s fighters in Iraq came closer to their goal of creating their own state.

That would clearly

In this competition, the best and cheapest way of showing your group is tougher, more dedicated and more efficient than the other lot is to kill Westerners in spectacular terrorist attacks.

So, for example, alQaeda sponsored the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris in February 2015 and Islamic State replied with the much bigger attack in Paris last November.

There is no strategic cost in these attacks since Western and Russian forces are already bombing Islamic State’s and al-Qaeda’s local franchise in Syria, the Nusra Front.

The material cost of the attacks is negligible as neither organization is devoting even one per cent of its resources to them.

So they will continue for a while and the West will just have to deal with them as they occur. gwynnedyer.com

be easier to do if most of the Western troops had already gone home.

The creation of Islamic State and the proclamation of the Caliphate in 2014 was the culmination of this long struggle and it should have ended Islamist terror attacks on the West.

Now they have a real state, they are seeking to expand in Syria and Iraq by military force and the last thing they need is Western troops around to make matters more difficult.

So, why didn’t the attacks on Western countries stop?

The only plausible explanation is the great split in the Islamist movement in 2014, when Islamic State broke away from al-Qaeda.

Since then, there has been a ferocious competition between them for recruits and for the loyalty of Islamist organizations across the Muslim world.

QUEBEC: CLIMBING THE IRON WAY JAMIE ROSS

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

W

hen my Quebec City guide told me that tomorrow I would be experiencing something called Via Ferrata, she must have been surprised by my reaction, something she undoubtedly would have put down to the subtle nuances of language.

“Sounds delicious,” I had responded, dreaming fondly of some kind of pasta dish — a delicious white wine, garlic and clam sauce over linguini, served up at the wonderful Bello Ristorante in Old Quebec.

What a miscalculation, I am thinking, as I find myself pressed tight against a sheer rock wall adjacent to the Chute Montmorency, clipped onto a re-bar hook by a carabiner and bungee.

The roar of the 83-metre waterfall is deafening just to my left.

If I check my footholds, I can see some 60 metres below the jagged rocks at the base of the cliff, whipped by the spray from the cascade.

If I tilt my head and peer above, I see only the wire cable and metal rungs curving up the rock face, like some manufactured but very real climbing wall. Did I mention I am not fond of heights?

This, apparently, is Via Ferrata — Italian for “iron way.” The type of climb was invented by the Italian army during the First World War as a means to get troops and equipment through the Dolomite Mountains.

Now it has become a popular tourist activity, where a series of ladders, rock-embedded iron rings, cables and single rail bridges enable amateur climbers, apparently with a bit of a death wish, to scale and traverse rock

faces, fissures and deep chasms, and thus experience the kind of adrenalin rush normally reserved for extreme rock jocks.

Whistler is the only place in British Columbia to offer tours, but its widespread acceptance in Quebec is now a fait accompli.

Montmorency Falls Park is located a few minutes from Quebec City.

Between river and cliffs, it is

one of the most spectacular sites in the province.

It is a beautiful and dramatic landscape when observed from the cable car which I travelled up in, or from within the comfort of the Manor Montmorency at the top.

On this 270-metre climbing route, I’m not sure if I am as impressed as I should be by the breathtaking view — and to put

this into perspective, this waterfall is 30 metres higher than Niagara Falls!

It is true that on this Via Ferrata you are accompanied by an accomplished, park-certified guide, but for some reason our expert has chosen me to lead the group, while he concentrates more on a pretty young climber from Chicago.

demeanour at the outset, as the process and important safety procedures were being explained to us, had him believing that I was a confident climber.

I did appear calm, it is true, a condition more telling of a state of shock, as the true reason for fitting us in these tight nylon harnesses was slowly sinking in.

Now, as I laboriously clamour up what I hope is the final stretch of the Route Torrent de Montmorency, I am just trying to concentrate on the small world right in front of me.

Unclip one of the safety lines (never both), move upward a step, and clip back in. Repeat.

“Are you singing?” asks Magalie, the athletic female climber behind me. Was that me, I am thinking; I thought it was a choir of angels.

From farther below the guide yells up instructions. “James,” he shouts.

“You will find it easier if you move yourself back from the wall a bit.”

Yes, I suppose he is right, and it might also save the bloody scratches I am inflicting to my nose, lips and eyebrows.

Still, not really wanting advice at this juncture, I yell something back down to him that we will not repeat here.

Perhaps I am sounding like I didn’t fully enjoy this activity, and certainly there might have been a brief time when I questioned what I was doing.

I had been put outside my comfort zone, but, as I climbed over the crest of the rock wall at the top of the chute, this made the feeling of having accomplished something that much better.

It is a fantastic and rewarding adventure.

Even the zipline I had fretted about before heading out on the iron way, the one that will whisk us over the brink of the falls on our journey back to the Manor, is nothing after the climb.

sia: a continent of wonders.

When exotic destinations are considered, Africa is often associated with its animals, Australia with its diversity, the Caribbean with its crystal waters and Europe with its history.

Asia has all those things to offer and, with changes in the world of travel, it’s fast becoming a place for every kind of traveler to explore.

Asia is a massive continent stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific, spanning the lands of Indonesia to Japan.

Each country has its own traditions, foods, history and beauty.

I have travelled across Japan and was amazed to see the

Haan Kiem Lake, Hanoi, Vietnam

almost futuristic cities with their skyscrapers and layered roadways set next to ancient temples.

Travellers can enjoy touring the superhighways and stopping in villages that still look as they did centuries ago. More and more people are looking to Asia as their next destination and tourism is opening up more doors to this exotic world.

Most areas are relatively inexpensive to travel to and many companies offer incredible deals for

tours to countries like China, Vietnam and Thailand.

Taking a tour is the best option for most travelers. The guides speak many languages and ensure you are looked after from place to place and are informed about all the attractions.

Vietnam has been welcoming tourists for many years and recently simplified the visa requirements for Canadians.

Whether explored on a tour or a river cruise, Vietnam offers some of the best won-

ders of the world.

History, culture, food, scenery, beaches — Vietnam has it all.

Travelers can take a junk boat and sail Halong Bay, explore the many temples or visit the war memorials.

Visitors feast on seafood argued to be the world’s best.

The caves of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National park, the world’s most spectacular cave system, is a must-see.

The Vietnam War has been over for 40 years and the country has worked hard to rebuild, but has never lost its charm, as evidenced in the mansions built during the French era.

Vietnam is a country of vast influences melded into its own culture.

or Derek Yachison, B.C. Lions training camp has never been this important.

No longer is the former Kamloops Bronco protected by junior status. He’s a Lions’ receiver competing for a job, first aiming to avoid the axe after rookie camp, then looking to land a spot on the CFL club’s active roster for the 2016 campaign.

Rookie camp began yesterday and wraps up tomorrow at Hillside Stadium. Main camp gets underway on Sunday.

“He’s going to have to show us that he’s as good, if not better, than some of the guys we drafted or signed. If he’s not, then we have to make decisions,” said Wally Buono, the Lions’ head coach and general manager.

“It’s Andrew Harris all over again. Andrew had a great junior career. When he came here, there was a point in time where he had to establish himself on his own merit, not on his status as a junior player. Derek is at that point.”

Nobody knows that more than Yachison, the Winnipeg product who in December inked a standard contract with the Lions, a one-year deal, plus one additional year

at the team’s option. He is the first Bronco graduate to sign a CFL contract.

“I was paying attention in the off-season, just to see how many receivers they took in the draft, as I knew they would be my competition,” said Yachison, the 6-foot-1, 205pound pass catcher who is attending Lions’ training camp for the third straight year.

“We have six [Canadian receivers] on the roster. If they want to keep five or even if they keep all of us, then it’s still a battle for the active roster spots.”

B.C. snagged two wideouts at the CFL Draft this year — 6-foot-4, 204-pound Brett Blaszko of Oakville, Ont., and 5-foot-10, 178-pound Shaquille Johnson of Brampton, Ont., both of whom enjoyed success at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport level.

They join Yachison, third-year WR Stephen Adekolu of Brampton, fifth-year WR Marco Iannuzzi of Calgary and seventh-year WR Shawn Gore of Toronto in comprising the Leos’ Canadian receiving corps.

“It’s definitely a battle for active roster spots, if not they’re definitely going to cut one and maybe put one on the PR [practice roster],” Yachison said. “Everyone knows that. I know exactly how it is. You’re always in competition with somebody and I’m looking forward to it.”

tion on the practice squad, he will have a tough decision to make.

Accepting the position would mean forfeiting two years of CIS eligibility.

“It is a huge decision,” Yachison said.

“You don’t want to risk going on the PR for a year, giving up your two years of CIS, getting cut and then you have nowhere to play.”

Yachison was able to join the Lions’ practice roster last year without relinquishing his CIS eligibility because he was still an unsigned junior. He had a banner year in Kamloops in 2015, earning the Canadian Junior Football League’s Peter Dalla Riva Outstanding Offensive Player Award after posting career-best numbers — 73 receptions, 1,026 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Should Yachison be offered a practiceroster gig this season, much of his decision on whether to accept it will be based on what he’s told by the Lions’ coaching staff.

“Everything I’ve heard and that I know about Wally is that he’s a very straight-up guy,” Yachison said. “I think he’ll tell me

exactly where I stand.

“If the coach says, ‘Hey, you just need one more year on the practice roster and then you can get up to the active roster, that’s something I would definitely be interested in. I have to feel out how camp goes and make a decision based on what they tell me.”

If Yachison were to be released, he would seek employment elsewhere in the CFL before committing to a university program.

Should he go the CIS route, Yachison can enter the CFL Draft after finishing his schooling.

Yachison was first invited to rookie camp in the spring of 2014. He made it to main camp and was cut after about 10 days.

The Leos kept tabs on the fledgling receiver and he excelled with the Broncos that season, finishing with 49 catches, 765 yards and five touchdowns to earn CJFL AllCanadian status.

Venom get wake-up call KAMLOOPS LOOKING TO GET BACK TO WINNING WAYS ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Riley Peterson admits the Kamloops Venom might have been a bit high on themselves.

Off to a 6-0 start in the 2016 Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season, Peterson and the Venom may have bought into their own hype. They had defeated every team in the league, outscoring their opposition 90-40.

No club managed more than 10 goals against them.

Maybe they started wondering if they would lose again.

Of course they did — lose, that is. The Venom’s last two games restored some semblance of reality. Kamloops dropped both decisions, a 12-8 loss to the Vernon Tigers and a 10-8 loss to the South Okanagan Flames, beginning a streak of a different sort.

It was one forward Riley Peterson had hoped to stop last night in Kelowna, the last stop of a three-game road swing for Kamloops’ junior B lacrosse club.

“We got off to a hot start this season and then we’ve definitely come out of the gates slow these last two losses,” Peterson said.

Kamloops squared off against Kelowna after KTW’s press dead-

line. Find the result online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

“I think we might have got on our high horses a bit there, early in the season, not losing any games. It’s nice to get the first couple losses out. We didn’t expect to go perfect [this] season at all.”

They didn’t expect to be perfect, but they expect to contend for another championship.

In 2015, Kamloops won its first TOJLL title since 2012, defeating the hometown Vernon Tigers in Game 5 of the championship series.

It was a series that had it all — disputes over player eligibility, scuffles between teams and media and the banning of noisemakers.

Much of Kamloops’ team from that series remains, Peterson included. The Venom forward has been an offensive juggernaut in his fourth season.

He had 61 points, including 28 goals, in eight games prior to last night.

For perspective, the Venom’s second-most prolific scorer, Kyle Pauwels, had 25 points, including 13 goals, in four games.

Pauwels, too, has seen problems in Kamloops’ approach to the last two games, but was

expecting the course would be corrected heading into the Little Apple last night.

“We’ve obviously had a lot of success in this league, with the result last year and stuff. We’ve got a lot of key guys coming back for sure,” he said.

“So I think we’re walking into that arena and thinking we’ve got a win already under the belt. The grit really isn’t there yet and it’s time to fix things and put a little more effort into our play.

“I think we were kind of getting a little too high and mighty after starting the season 6-0.”

The Venom will return home to face the Tigers tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena. It marks the second time the Tigers have played in Kamloops since last season’s TOJLL championship.

A match against its biggest rival might be just what Kamloops needs to get back to playing the right way, now past the midway mark of the season.

“These teams have met five years in a row here in the finals.

Any time you step on the floor with that team, we’re competing.

We’re not friends out there at all,” Pauwels said of Vernon.

“Come Saturday, it will start to pick up, especially with first place on the line.”

Raptors drubbed in Cleveland, face do-or-die Game 6 LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CLEVELAND — The Toronto Raptors rode a wave of momentum into Cleveland on Wednesday.

But by the merciful end of an atrocious Game 5 effort, it was tough to believe the Raptors had ever beaten the Cavaliers at all.

Cleveland’s trio of Kevin Love, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 71 points as the Cavaliers thoroughly trounced the Raptors 116-78 to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

“They kicked our butts. That’s the bottom line,’’ coach Dwane Casey said post-game over the cheering of a Cavs fan out in the corridor.

DeMar DeRozan had just 14 points, while Kyle Lowry had 13, but no other Raptor scored in double digits in Toronto’s worst performance of these playoffs.

The Raptors were coming off back-toback victories at the Air Canada Centre, infusing fans with a glimmer of hope for an historic NBA finals appearance. But the Cavaliers’ home court

had proven deadly to Toronto in Games 1 and 2: a 50-point deficit combined.

The Raptors are now a loss away from ending the deepest playoff run in franchise history.

Casey has predicted a different game on their return trip to Cleveland, but it was evident virtually from the opening whistle that they were in for a long night.

In a noisy Quicken Loans Arena awash in wine and gold, the Raptors looked completely discombobulated. They were terrible in virtually every

category, a dog’s breakfast of poor decisions, terrible shooting, and head-slapping turnovers. Their defensive effort, against a Cavs team that opened the post-season 10-0, was half-hearted.

Cleveland’s 65-34 lead at halftime was the biggest gap in conference finals history.

When it seemingly couldn’t get worse, it did. Frustration

mounted. The Raptors looked like they wanted to be anywhere else.

And by the end of the third, the score was a shocking 100-60.

Both teams subbed out their starters for a fourth quarter played after hundreds of fans had already departed the building. According to ESPN Stats, it was the fifth-largest margin of victory in conference

finals history.

The series returns to the Air Canada Centre for Game 6 tonight. A victory, however, would send them back into Cleveland for a do-ordie Game 7.

While the Raptors won the regularseason series against Cleveland, all their victories came at home.

They’ve now lost all four trips across the

border this season.

Asked why the Cavs are so lethal at home, Lowry shrugged.

“I dunno,’’ he said.

“They play extremely well here. Tonight, Kevin Love got it going early, Kyrie got it going early. LeBron did what he usually does. We’ve got to take one of them out of the game.

“They play very well here, they’ve protected home all year.’’

Pavelski went from seventh-round unknown to Conn Smythe favourite JONAS SIEGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The NHL scouts parading through Waterloo, Iowa, usually said the same thing about Joe Pavelski. “’He can’t skate, he’s not big enough. He can’t skate, he’s not big enough’,’’ recalls P.K. O’Handley, who coached the San Jose Sharks’ forward when he captained the USHL’s Waterloo Black Hawks nearly 15 years ago.

Concerns ran deep enough that Pavelski, second only to superstar Alex Ovechkin in goals over the past three NHL seasons and the current Conn Smythe favourite with 13 playoff goals, fell to the seventh round of the 2003 draft, going 205th overall to the Sharks.

While intrigued by Pavelski, the Sharks didn’t even use their first (of two) seventhround picks to take him, opting instead for a French-Canadian forward who never played an NHL game.

How does a player with such apparent flaws — a lack of size and speed — rise into one of the league’s premier players and goal-scorers?

It starts with a feel for the game that former coaches describe as uncommon.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Pavelski may not have been pretty to watch, but he could process the game quickly and that allowed him to make a play or score a goal.

“He’s always thinking about four steps ahead of everybody else, even at the high school level, at the junior level and then ultimately at our level, here at Wisconsin,’’ said Mark Osiecki, a former Badgers’ assistant who recently returned to the university’s program.

Joe Pavelski is a big reason why the San Jose Sharks have reached the Stanley Cup final.

“His mind for the game, his will to succeed, is at a super, super high level.’’

“His hockey IQ, even at 17,’’ added O’Handley, “was off the chart.’’

It’s one of the first elements O’Handley noticed when he inherited Pavelski upon assuming the coaching job in Waterloo.

He saw a kid who could think the game

and was highly driven.

Osiecki remembers when Pavelski wanted to improve in the faceoff circle, he watched video of NHL players. He worked on blocking shots as a defender, tipping shots on the other end, performing the subtler aspects of the game which have made him into a force for the Sharks, where he’s spent his entire NHL career.

Pavelski, 31, is an ace jack of all trades for San Jose. He’s a focal point of a top power-play unit, kills penalties and wins 55 per cent of his faceoffs, among the top marks in the league.

He rarely gets mentioned in the company of Ovechkin, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos or Anaheim veteran Corey Perry, but he’s been every bit as accomplished as a goal-scorer, too.

Only Ovechkin and Stamkos, both No. 1 overall picks, have more goals than Pavelski over the past five seasons and only Ovechkin has scored more since the start of the 2013-2014 campaign.

The coaches in Waterloo still pull out the old VHS tapes to look back at Pavelski.

They see a player scoring in all the same ways as today: Wicked shots from the faceoff circle on the power play, tipped shots in front of the net and greasy onetimers off one knee.

“He’s got unbelievable hand-eye coordination,’’ says O’Handley, for whom Pavelski scored 57 goals over two seasons.

“You should see what he can do with a golf ball on the golf course in the middle of the trees, it’s unbelievable.’’

Unlike Ovechkin and Stamkos, known for scoring in one or two prominent ways, Pavelski scores in bunches every which way.

A look at Pavelski’s tally of 13 post-sea-

son goals reveals the variety: Six slapshots, two tips, two wrist shots, one wraparound, one backhand and one snapshot.

Stamkos, by contrast, scored 28 of his 36 regular-season goals either by wrist shot or slapshot.

Hailing from a small town in Central Wisconsin, Pavelski has always been overlooked to some degree, dating back to the draft and even after that to his days as a Badger.

At that time, Robbie Earl, a one-time Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick, was more highly thought of on a Wisconsin squad stocked with future NHLers, including St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott.

Osiecki and O’Handley both speak of Pavelski’s character in glowing terms and O’Handley insists that it’s not fluff.

“It seems like it’s too good to be true, but it’s all true,’’ he said.

O’Handley cites Pavelski’s history of winning, which includes a high school championship, Clark Cup with Waterloo, national title with Wisconsin and silver medal at the 2014 Olympics, as further proof of his character.

All that’s seemingly missing for the Sharks captain is a Stanley Cup, which his team is threatening to win for the first time.

They advanced to the Cup final Wednesday night after a win over the St. Louis Blues.

Neither O’Handley nor Osiecki is surprised by Pavelski’s ascent.

“Did I think he would be at this level of scoring? I didn’t know that,’’ O’Handley says. “But am I surprised that he’s in the National Hockey League and his coaches rave about him because of the person that he is and the competitor that he is and all that?

“No.’’

Bouchard makes early exit from French Open

Still struggling to find the form that saw her reach the Wimbeldon final in 2014, Eugenie Bouchard was knocked out of the French Open yesterday in Round 2.

PARIS — Canadian Eugenie Bouchard made an early exit from the French Open for the second straight year on yesterday, dropping a 6-4, 6-4 decision to Timea Bacsinszky in secondround play at the Grand Slam event.

Bouchard, from Westmount, Que., made the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2014, but lost in the first round last year.

She jumped out to a 4-1 lead yesterday before dropping 10 games in a row to the No. 8 seed from Switzerland.

Bouchard fought back by taking four straight games to get to 4-5 before Bacsinszky closed out the victory.

“It’s unacceptable really to lose 10 games in a row in a match,’’ Bouchard said. “I think my [lack of] focus was the part that let me down — the mental part. It’s something I’ve been working on and I have

been getting better.’’

A French Open semifinalist last year, Bacsinszky was up 5-0 and serving for the win when Bouchard picked up a service break. Bouchard saved a match point and earned two break points that would have levelled the score at 5-5 but she failed to convert.

“As soon as I relaxed and played my game, I was coming out on top on a lot of the points,’’ Bouchard said. “So I just wish I had that mentality a bit earlier in the match [rather] than four points away from losing.’’

Bouchard was ranked seventh in the world at the end of 2014, but the 22-year-old Canadian slipped out of the top 40 in 2015 and struggled with an eating disorder she said she has since conquered. She currently holds the No. 47 position in the world rankings.

“What’s the most disappoint-

ing is my game feels good, my shots feel good, I feel good on the court,’’ Bouchard said. “So yeah, that’s what hurts the most.

I felt like I put myself in a good position in preparation and everything. I’ve done everything that I possibly could to be ready.

I started out strong. The game plan was working.’’

It was the first victory for Bacsinszky on the PhilippeChatrier Court.

“There is a lot of space around the court,’’ she said.

“Even though I warmed up 30 minutes in the morning, I couldn’t get the groove and she had different tactics in comparison to the last time I played against her.

“She expected me to put a lot of variation in my game so I had to find another game plan in order to get the upper hand.’’ (/CP)

Celebrities and mortals — Crown Jesus now

E

arlier this week, most Canadians got a day off from regular work on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s birthday, which fell on May 24.

Speaking of the late Queen, I heard some stories in my youth about her nobility and faith in God. It had stirred my young mind and heart then and continues to do so.

In one of her Coronation Week celebrations, the Queen was sitting in the royal box while Handel’s Messiah was being sung.

The lady-in-waiting went to her and said: “Everyone in the room, when they reach the Hallelujah Chorus, will rise and stand ‘till the music stops, except Your Majesty.”

It was the royal etiquette that the Queen should keep her seat.

The music continued — sweeter and fuller — sweet enough for heaven. When the Chorus was reached, the audience rose and stood with bowed heads.

It was noticed then that the Queen was deeply moved. Her lip quivered, her eyes filled with tears and her body trembled, until the singers came to that burst of melody, “King of kings and Lord of lords . . .”

Then, throwing the royal etiquette to the wind, the young Queen stood up and, with bowed head, remained standing until the music ceased.

A nobler, queenlier

thing she never did.

In a somewhat similar vein, we see in the cross of Jesus Christ the glory of sacrificial power.

Power exerts itself and it ought at times.

We must admire the omnipotent power of God as we see it working in many ways. But power, exerting in itself, is not glorious, compared with power withholding itself.

While dying on the cross, Jesus challenged his executioners by saying: “Don’t you think that I cannot now pray to my Father and He shall presently give me 12 legions of angels?”

But had he so prayed, the glory of Christ would have been eclipsed. His power was held back while loved worked through him.

It was the power that refused to exert while Christ went to the cross in weakness for the salvation of the weak.

On the way to Damascus, the Apostle Paul had a vision of the glorified Christ, his first view of him.

But Paul never gloried in the glorified. He came back in the light of the

glorified to the crucified, and said, “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross.”

It was said that when Leonardo de Vinci had finished his great painting of The Last Supper, he took a friend with him to criticize it.

As the friend looked at it, he said, “The most beautiful thing in your picture is the cup.”

The artist immediately took a brush, wiped out the cup, and said, “Nothing in my picture shall attract more attention than the face of my Master Jesus.”

That was the religion of St. Paul. Nothing in his preaching, in his character, in his mission, if he could help it, were to attract more attention than the cross of Christ.

The cross of Christ is the declaration of the righteousness of God. Join that statement with another writing of Paul: “God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Jesus died because God is righteous as well as loving.

Mercy could be a species of injustice, of unrighteousness. The moment a judge begins to be merciful, he ceases to be just.

And the moment he begins to be just, he ceases to be merciful.

No person can be just and merciful unless justice has somehow been satisfied.

If God begins to be merciful without the satisfaction of His justice, He loses the throne of

His righteousness.

The glory of the cross is that there is sacrificial mercy linked with justice so that God can be “just and the justifier of him who believes.”

I heard another remarkable story about Victoria when she was old. Following her splendid and just reign, on her sick bed she was once reading a book about the second coming of the Jesus.

One day, when Dean Farrar, her chaplain, was visiting her, she asked him, “Chaplain, what do you think about the second coming of the Lord?”

I do not know how the chaplain replied. But as he was leaving her, he asked: “Your Majesty, why did you ask me that question?”

“Oh,” the Queen said, “I wish He would come while I am alive, for nothing would give me more pleasure than with my own hands to give him the crown of Great Britain and India.”

Ascension Day of Christ and Pentecost Sunday are just over in the Christian calendar this year. In order of succession, it would be the second coming of Christ next, whether sooner or later. While we await the coronation of Jesus to take place, let us crown him here and now. While he tarries his coming in glory, let him come in grace once more in our hearts.

Let us enthrone Christ, the Lamb of God, in our hearts and lives.

Heaven would begin here and now.

After 50 years, Corpus Christi returns Kamloops’ Catholics will trade church pews for green space this weekend as a special mass returns to Riverside Park for the first time in 50 years.

Father Andrew L’Heureux with the Sacred Heart Cathedral said the yearly Feast of Corpus Christi is one of many feasts in the Catholic calendar, which also includes celebrations such as Christmas and Easter. The feast, celebrated each May, celebrates the last supper before Jesus Christ was crucified.

“As Catholics, we believe on the night before Jesus suffered, he sat down with his disciples and had the last supper, and at the table he said, ‘This is my body which is given up to you,’ and then later on he had a cup of wine and said, ‘This is my blood that is given up to you,’” L’Heureux said.

“And, as Catholics, we believe that the bread and the wine change into the body and blood of Christ and we believe that’s the way that we enter into a

physical union with God. So ,this is why we celebrate this feast, because it’s the high point of our Christian faith.”

The celebration will begin Sunday at 9 a.m. with a mass at the Riverside Park bandshell.

Following the mass, L’Heureux said, attendees will make a procession through the downtown core , carrying the Eucharist and singing in celebration, before returning to Sacred Heart at Third Avenue and Nicola Street.

WORD SCRAMBLE

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
