QUICKfactsRegatta revival at Sproat LakeJULY 18–20: | From a show ‘n’ shine to drag races on the water, boaters are reigniting a passion at the lake.

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Stan Kujala was too young to remember the last time a racing

regatta was held at Sproat Lake, even though he has spent his whole life living at the lake. But he remembers his father’s enthusiasm for the water sport.

He has seen the Super 8 video his father captured from the 1958 and 1962 races, which drew thousands of spectators, and he believes that can be recreated.

“When I think of Thunder in the Valley, they bring in 2,000 people,” he said.

Kujala is part of a core of boating enthusiasts who have revived the Sproat Lake Regatta. The 2014 version will hit the lake July 18–20, starting with a boat show and shine at Pacific Chevrolet (3800 Johnston Rd.) in Port Alberni on Friday, July 18 from 4–9 p.m. Racers will test and tune their boats on Saturday, July 19 then pre-race festivities start around 9 a.m. on Sunday, July 20 at Sproat Lake Provincial Park.

When the races start on Sunday, Kujala hopes to be part of them. He has been working on the 1982 Cougar flat bottom boat nicknamed West Coast

Quickey, that used to belong to former Canadian champion Bill Beazley. The boat, fitted with a 402 cubic inch big block Chevy engine, has changed hands a few times and has been in storage for a few years.

“This is the first time it’s been on the water in many years,” said Kujala.

This will also be the first time he has drag raced a boat. Although he has competed in waterskiing and travelled to the United States to watch

high-performance boat racing, this will be his first foray into racing. He will compete in the flat bottom class.

The Sproat Lake Regatta dates back to the summer

of 1928, when the first event included races of up to five miles and boats as fast as 20 horsepower.

The Sproat Lake Motor Boat Club was formed in June 1930 with the object of expanding the event. The regattas, swimming and water sports competitions and dance, according to history compiled by Ray Nass, annually drew a large crowd.

Interest waned in the 1940s, but in 1953 the

Sproat Lake Ratepayers’ Association noted a growing interest in boating and people on the water with fast boats, so they revived the regattas. Led by Frank Flitton, the association built up the Sproat Lake Regatta into one of the top fully sanctioned events in the Pacific Northwest.

The regattas were so successful, but organizers were “getting tired” despite changing leadership in 1959, so the final regatta was run in 1962.

While many of the oldtimers are gone now, there are a few, like Canadian record holder Joe Van Bergen, who remember the camaraderie and passion for the event. After years of talk, the Alberni Valley Regatta Association was formed, a 10-year permit was obtained from BC Parks to hold the event at Sproat Lake Provincial Park, and the regatta was planned.

The regatta association inherited much-needed equipment from the Fraser Valley Drag Boat Association when it folded, including a starting light tower, rescue ambulance craft, service boat and motor and a van load of other items.

NEXTweek

Luck was not with Joe Van Bergen and his brother Bill on July 22, 1956.

The siblings were racing their 136 hydro “Hoodoo” on Sproat Lake in the second race of the day when they hit a submerged obstacle, ripping an 18-inch hole in their hull.

Although they were able to patch it and race again, they were out of the competition.

While the Van Bergens weren’t winners in 1956, the community

of Sproat Lake was: more than 5,000 spectators turned out to watch the regatta, which Vancouver’s Jim Hutchinson won.

Joe Van Bergen is hoping to recreate that ambience on July 20 when the Sproat Lake Regatta returns to the lake.

Van Bergen raced hydroplanes on the lake from 1953–62: Sproat

Lake was one of five stops on Vancouver Island on a racing circuit back in the day, said Van Bergen, one of a group of 20 racers who travelled the circuit.

“I’ve been trying to bring it back for years, but us old guys couldn’t seem to get it together.”

The Alberni Valley Regatta Association formed more than a year ago, and finally Van Bergen

will get his wish.While Van Bergen will be a

spectator this year (“at 89 years old, the challenge is too much for me,” he says), he is still a racing champion. In 1959 he set a record of 69 miles per hour in a 13-foot boat, with a small v8 engine that he and his brother built out of one-eighth-inch plywood.

“They were a popular class at the time,” he said. “The record still stands.”

Tseshaht, Hub City to re-open ice plant


The Tseshaht First Nation and Hub City Fisheries are finalizing a lease to reopen the Port Fish ice plant on Harbour Road in Port Alberni.

“We’ve been working towards developing partnerships with a fish processing company. Hub City has been a good fit for the last two years,” says Andrew Olson, fisheries manager and biologist for the Tseshaht.

Hub City Fisheries is a value-added seafood processor based in Nanaimo.

Port Fish ceased operation as a fish processing plant in March 2011. The port authority put out a request for proposals for the fish processing and ice-making plant in January 2013.

Both partners have made a “substantial” financial commitment to get the plant up and running, said Olson,

declining to offer details of that commitment.

“We’re hoping to have the ice plant operational this week. We would potentially start freezing fish and storing them this summer,” he added.

Crews have been in the facility already fixing the ice plant. “It needed a significant amount of work,” including ripping out interior walls, putting in new insulation and new fiberglass walls and floor.

“We wanted to make it right to begin with. We took all the things that were wrong and remedied those with upgrades.”

More work will have to be done to get the rest of the facility up to Canada Food Inspection Agency standards, he added.

Olson said the partnership is exciting for the Tseshaht. “It’s something they’ve wanted for a long time, to have more involvement and opportunity for members.”

Two new names enter mayoral raceFormer principal Ruttan turns to politics

WAWMEESHG. HAMILTON

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Retired Alberni District Secondary School principal Mike Ruttan is following his own advice in announcing he will run for mayor in November’s municipal election.

“I always told my students that if they want something then they should prepare themselves and go for it,” Ruttan said. “Well I’m preparing and I’m going for it.”

A cross-section of people have encouraged him to run, he said. “A lot of those people were students when I was a principal who are now grown.”

The married father of four was born and raised in Port

Alberni, and his roots go back to 1939 when his family’s first descendant arrived.

“I’m from Port Alberni. I’ve worked in Port Alberni. And when I retired last year I never left Port Alberni,” he said.

Ruttan worked as a teacher and principal in Bamfield and Port Alberni from 1979 until 2013. He was the first principal of the new ADSS on Roger Street.

Communication with council, staff and the city’s taxpayers is a cornerstone of Ruttan’s platform. “You need to communicate with people but they need to be engaged in a meaningful way first.”

Ruttan stayed abreast of civic politics as a citizen but admits he lacks council experience. He dealt with politicians as a principal, worked with a staff and understands budgets. “But it’s about communicating, working with people and taking care of their needs, something I’ve done throughout my career,” he said.

The city needs to live within its means and that includes city councillors, Ruttan said. “It was a mistake

for council to ask taxpayers to pay more property tax while at the same time increasing their own compensation.”

Ruttan said he’s well equipped to handle any challenges to his beliefs or decisions.

“I was constantly challenged in my career. But you learn that no one has all the answers, You work with people and exchange ideas,” he said.

“If being challenged creates better ideas and subsequently a stronger community then I support that.”

Diversifying the economy, increasing voter participation particularly among the youth demographic and regaining the trust of the electorate are key issues the city is facing, Ruttan said.

“The city needs someone who can pull the community together when issues [email protected]

Wright answers the callSUSAN QUINN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Businessman Kevin Wright has thrown his hat in the ring for the mayor’s seat in the November 2014 municipal election.

And he says while he knows his decision to skip a council seat and vie for the mayor’s job won’t be popular with some people, he feels he’s best suited for it.

“I feel that the mayor’s role differs from the council’s role in that he or she should be focusing on the face of the city. The marketing and branding as well as hosting potential investors,” said Wright, who owns SteamPunk Café and Coffee House and is an internationally renowned potter.

“I speak well and I have a lot of innovative ideas and can inspire people to do more.

“I believe the mayor should speak for council even if you

don’t agree with it. A united front shows the community co-operation and makes them feel comfortable. If you can’t convince (council) in camera…then you have to be objective and find out why they’re not voting in that direction.”

This is not Wright’s first foray into municipal politics. He ran for a council seat in 2011, but was defeated. He feels he’ll have a more successful campaign this time.

“I was new to the community at the time,” he said. “I knocked on some 600 doors and almost everybody I knocked on the front door I got votes from.”

Since then he closed his internationally

renowned Braemar Pottery business in Hilliers and opened SteamPunk Café and Coffee House on Third Avenue. He has spearheaded a campaign to bring more public art to Port Alberni, as well as advocated to improve the uptown area.

“This year I have a lot more people interested in me as a member of the community. There’s more people coming out of the woodwork.”

Wright is running on a platform of “business and community building with a strong emphasis on fiscal responsibility, tax reduction and marketing,” he said.

As with other candidates who have already declared their intention to run for Port Alberni council, Wright has created a Facebook page stating his platform.

Candidates cannot submit their official nomination papers until 40 days before the election, which will be Nov. 15.

Huu-ay-aht ink LNG dealWAWMEESH

G. HAMILTONALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The Huu-ay-aht First Nation’s dream of an LNG facility has taken a giant step closer to reality.

The Huu-ay-aht and liquid gas conglomerate Steelhead LNG signed an agreement on Tuesday that will see them explore the possibility of building a $30 billion liquid natural gas (LNG) plant in Sarita Bay.

“In 2011 we signed the Maa-nulth Treaty and it changed our lives,” said Jeff Cook, chief councillor of the 750-member Huu-ay-aht. “We said afterward that we are open for business and we’ve been pursuing that.”

The proposed plant would be built on Huu-ay-aht land at Sarita Bay, approximately 10 kilometres north of their village in Anacla.

Steelhead filed for an export licence from the National Energy Board to export up to 30 million tonnes of LNG annually for 25 years. “That could

be used for this site,” Steelhead CEO Nigel Kuzemko said. The company hopes to launch with 12 million tonnes of annual LNG capacity by 2022.

The operation could possibly expand and involve other partners, Kuzemko said.

The Port Alberni Port Authority linked the company with the Huu-ay-aht after signing a protocol agreement with the tribe last winter.

The company consulted with the tribe long before the Supreme Court handed down the

pivotal Tsilhqot’in decision last month, which requires development projects such as pipelines to seek aboriginal approval.

“We want to be in the front door,” Cook said. “We’ve always been left behind in the consultation process. “Steelhead came to us long before the court decision.”

Steelhead officials examined several sites along the B.C. coast but considered Anacla most advantageous. “It’s flat and requires little blasting. There’s deep water. And there is easy access,”

Kuzemko said.The agreement

with Huu-ay-aht is to explore developing the facility.

How much money the company is investing in the exploration is private, he added.

Major buyers of LNG have been Canada and the United States. But according to a BC Government press

release, emerging economies in China, India and other areas of Asia have increased demand for natural gas, creating an opportunity for B.C. to get into the LNG game.

But B.C. is competing with Russia, Canada (on a federal level) and Australia who are vying for market position with their own LNG projects.

Steelhead doesn’t have a buyer yet but has fielded cursory inquiries from Asian buyers.

“Until you have product a buyer won’t have substantive talks with you,” he said. “But we have an excellent site and a partnership with a First Nation so we’re in a better position to have more substantive talks.”

According to a B.C. government website, there are 14 LNG

export projects in the queue. Campbell River is the only other project on the Island. The government hopes to have three LNG facilities in operation by 2020.

Exploring environmental and cultural impacts will be part of the due diligence exercised as part of the exploration. The environmental approval alone could take four years, Kuzemko said.

The project will have its challenges, he added. Financing has to be secured. A new pipeline would have to be built to transport natural gas to Vancouver Island across Georgia Strait.

Part of the talks will explore how the Huu-ay-aht can help broker deals with First Nations located along the pipeline route.

Huu-ay-aht member sing a welcome song before announcing a deal with Steelhead LNG to explore erecting a project in Sarita Bay.

Project needs power

WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Officials are pondering how to power a proposed LNG facility in Sarita Bay, near the mouth of the Alberni Inlet.

The plant would be built in two phases, said Ian Hill, engineer with Steelhead LNG, which signed an agreement Tuesday with the Huu-ay-aht First Nation to study the feasibility of an LNG plant.

The first phase would require 600 megawatts of electricity constantly to run. If the plant expands then it will require 1,200 megawatts to operate.

The Sarita Bay area is remote with no hydro facility.

The Huu-ay-aht are planning a run-of-river micro hydro project and have applied for a water license, Huu-ay-aht chief councillor Jeff Cook said. The project would be built downstream of Sarita Lake.

“But it would only produce five megawatts. It might be enough to power a small workcamp at the site but not nearly enough to power a plant,” Cook said.

Once built, the plant’s biggest consumer of power will be the compressors used to chill the gas.

Power to run the compressors can be supplied in one of two ways: by converting a small portion of the liquid natural gas brought into the site and turning it into to a gas that would power turbines; or two, bringing power in from the BC Hydro grid to generate power that drives the compressor.

V ICTORIA – A few weeks before the landmark decision

declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference.

Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics.

This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation.

It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the

province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”

“Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume.

This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal

leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive.

The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for

political gain.In fact, this

referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight questions in the 2002

referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.

The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights

are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke.

What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations.

Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

EDITORIAL

Business needs eco-balance

Two stories in today’s issue of the Alberni Valley News are miles apart in subject, yet they are both connected.

Last week, the Tseshaht First Nation and Hub City Fisheries revealed they are jointly negotiating a lease to re-open the ice plant at Port Fish, offering ice to commercial fishermen.

On Tuesday, the Huu-ay-aht First Nation and Steelhead LNG signed an agreement to study the feasibility of building an LNG plant in Huu-ay-aht territory, near the mouth of Alberni Inlet where it meets the Pacific Ocean.

This is the same ocean and same inlet the fish traverse to their spawning grounds—the same fish the commercial fishing fleet depends on for survival.

Construction of the LNG plant and accompanying pipeline, if it were to go ahead, would be a huge concern in such an eco-sensitive marine area. At a time when fisheries interests are trying to find a way to rejuvenate salmon runs that feed into the Inlet, it is imperative we strike a balance.

We are heartened to hear that Steelhead LNG approached the Huu-ay-aht proactively, and that consultation with First Nations is taking place in a mindful way. We can only hope the same respect is shown to the environment.

Liquid natural gas exploration is still relatively new to the B.C. coast, and while it is being touted as a cleaner fuel than crude oil, how do we really know?

For the health of our entire Alberni Inlet, we need to start asking these questions. Now, before it’s too late.

The Joy of Music! This week we had a wonderful gift. A Girl’s Choir from Kenya, assisted by members of Kokopelli, presented a concert at Trinity Church. They sang, danced, and brightened our church with songs sung in their native languages. Language was no barrier, as the love of music drew us together. I remember times visiting in Care facilities with elders who rarely talked, and yet were animated when music was played or sung. There is a camp re song that declares: ‘All things shall perish from under the skies; music alone shall live… never to die.” Music is a most excellent way to express our joy, and to draw people together, in appreciation of life, and relationships gifted us us by a loving Creator.

Arrowvale still a farm market

To the Editor,Re: Market Frenzy,

July 3.As longtime Alberni

Valley farmers my family and I are always happy to see newspaper coverage of local agriculture like the front page story in your July 3 issue, “Market Frenzy: Farm market trend explodes in Alberni Valley.”

In reading the accompanying article we were surprised to learn that Arrowvale Farm and Campground’s market has come and gone. As the proprietors of Arrowvale Campground and Collins Farm we wish to assure your writers, and the many loyal customers who purchase meat and produce from us, that we have not “gone” anywhere.

Grass fed beef is available at our

regular Saturday market at the farm year around. During the summer months we are open daily with select seasonal fruit and vegetables and occasional U-pick opportunities as well. We encourage you and your readers to check out special events and product availability at Arrowvale in our regular advertisements in your newspaper.

Bob and Ann Collins,Arrowvale

Campground/Collins Farm

So we have another ‘beach’

To the Editor, Congratulations

to the city administrators for the new beach shaping up near Harbour Quay Marina. A fast working city crew has already installed a stairway beside the walk to the Mars Rambler pier. A very sturdy walkway leading to the beach

below the abandoned Esso storage tanks compound.

Considerable cleanup work remains in removing petroleum absorbed in the soil after years of leaking oil tanks.

And there are many big boulders coated with bright green growth that require cleaning or removal. Many more big rocks are visible at low tide. Only two trees remain and they are clinging to banks of soil and lava slabs.

If the work done creating a new beach is equal to the timber stairway already built, it will be a dandy. It could be named “Harbour Beach”.

Harold Hamilton,Port Alberni

Protests fullof hot air

To the Editor, Anti-pipeline

protesters cost us big bucks.

The Canadian

Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) represents the oil and gas industry, Canada’s largest impact on our economy.

CAPP has been running thousands of very expensive TV, radio and print commercial ads which we have all seen or heard many times as they try to counter the negative public opinion image created by protesters. Where do they get the money for those ads?

The anti-pipeline protesters receive a lot of their funding from foreign sources like OPEC, US Rockefellers, US Tides Foundation via The ‘Dogwood Initiative’ and ‘Forest Ethics’ through ‘Tides Canada’, Pembina Institute, Sierra Club, etc. There appears with plenty of evidence, a cynical economical trade-war at play to prevent Canada’s energy

products from getting to world market.

Similar but flip-side to Russia/Europe, it’s in the Americans’ interest to have Canadian energy land locked and dependent on them as our only discount customer. Once oil products are exportable abroad, the world market value is estimated to increase approximately 15-25 per cent, which the Americans would also be subject to.

We should be careful of what we wish for as Canada’s export products will get to market one way or another, either by pipeline or by rail.

Who do you think ultimately pays for all those expensive counter-ads? Next time you fuel up at the high priced pumps, guesstimate your financial contribution to the anti-progress protest movement.

This week’s question:Do you think pursuing LNG opportunities in

Alberni Inlet is a positive thing?

Do you think Salmon Fest should be moved from Clutesi Haven Marina to Harbour Quay?

Yes – 55.6% No – 44.4%

? !

From / A8Arguably, that’s

what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy

on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent

leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot.

Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form

of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”

That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership

Council. It was rejected by

a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002

referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to

come.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

TURN YOUR LOVE OF

COOKING INTO A NEW

CAREERProfessional Cook 1 starts this

September in Port Alberni

Tina Tang inspires chefs of all ages.

The young chef got her start in North Island College’s kitchens while she was still in high school starting her professional cook training through NIC’s dual credit program.

The program allows high school students to get a head start on trades, career, or university studies courses before graduating high school.

For Tina, it meant being able to develop her passion and a substantial chef’s resume before her 18th birthday.

She completed the first two levels of her professional cook training at NIC, before moving to the Okanagan for an opportunity to train in BC’s wine capital under Chef Willi Franz.

This year, she completed her Professional Cook 3 training and will become certified a Red Seal chef while working as a Chef de Partie at the Gray Monk Estate Winery in Kelowna.

Tina also placed third in the Canadian Chefs Federation Junior Chef Culinary competition this spring, and intends to compete for gold next year.

“I could have not done this without the support of my instructors Chef Lilyholm and Chef Hansen and, of course, all the financial support from the NIC Foundation,” she says.

North Island College offers Professional Cook 1 in Port Alberni and Campbell River, with Cook 2 and 3 training offered in Campbell River.

Students learn the essentials of professional cooking in 28 weeks, preparing and cooking stocks, soups, sauces, vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, and desserts. Classes start this September in NIC’s new teaching kitchens at the Port Alberni campus.

Power sources ponderedFrom / A7

“There’s no grid option at present though,” Hill said about the lack of

electric power at the site.

Another option would be to generate power using hog fuel

similar to an LNG facility in Squamish does.

“But they only produce two million

tonnes (of LNG per year). This one would be 24 million tonnes.”[email protected]


Consultation talks required yetFrom /A7

The Sarita site is also a considerable distance from upstream gas production and overcoming that will be part of the exploratory talks, Kuzemko said.

Another challenge is First Nations consultations.

The project is located in Huu-ay-aht territory but the tribe shares boundaries with the Ucluelet, Toquaht and Tseshaht.

Salmon that the Tseshaht and Hupacasath First Nations depend on migrate through Huu-ay-aht territory before coming to Port Alberni.

Cursory talks have been held with

all but one tribe. “Hupacasath hasn’t responded to our calls,” Cook said.

Further talks with First Nations are planned as the project [email protected]


City ponders ICE-T projectsWAWMEESH

The city has four projects in the queue for funding consideration from the Island Coastal Economic Trust.

One of the four proposed projects is a

joint application with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District for an extension to the runway at the Alberni Valley Regional Airport.

The second project discussed was improvements to the city’s waterfront including Canal Beach

and Harbour Quay. At a previous city

council meeting, Coun. Cindy Solda listed a series of projects she was interested in pursuing including the $250,000 Clocktower renovation and Harbour Quay washroom improvements.

A third project would see the city partner with the ACRD to extend and connect the Valley’s outdoor trail network.

The final project would involve constructing a train station and kiosk near the train tracks on Johnston Road.

HEALTHY LIVINGActiveHealth tip: Include in your diet a rainbow

of dark-coloured vegetables and fruits

that are naturally rich in antioxidants and folate.

Brain exercise part of healthy lifestyleMany people

realize that lifestyle

factors can affect long-term health and risk of chronic disease. But, do people think staying fit means only from the neck down?

Diseases of the body can also affect the brain and its functions. One in 11 Canadians over the age of 65 has loss of brain function that is not part of the normal aging process, like Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Loss of brain functions, such as memory, thinking, reasoning, judgment, mood, behaviour and ability to communicate can all be affected by lifestyle factors including diet, exercise and other environmental influences.

Maintaining good blood flow through arteries around the body and brain are important for health.

A fatty, processed food type diet over the long term can cause elevated cholesterol levels, contributing to arterial blockages, which may result in stroke and brain cell damage leading to Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Physical fitness, such as brisk walking can help to maintain good blood flow to brain, as well as encourage new brain cells and ultimately decrease risk of dementia.

Other ways that exercise can preserve brain health is that it boosts the odds of having lower blood

pressure, healthy arteries and less insulin resistance. Also, studies show that higher blood pressure, cholesterol and weight during middle age puts individuals at higher risk for dementia.

Eating a diet that is good for cardiovascular or heart health is also shown to help prevent brain deterioration and risk of dementia.

Including a rainbow of dark-coloured vegetables and fruits

that are naturally rich in antioxidants and folate help prevent free radical cell damage throughout body including brain.

Fish, such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, halibut, tuna and herring two to three times per week in the diet will offer a good level of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for health. Flax, walnuts and pumpkin seeds will also provide these essential fats in the diet.

These good fats are benficial, whereas too many trans and saturated fats can be detrimental over time.

Trans fats are found in bakery items, packaged food products and hydrogenated processed foods (as stated on the label).

Saturated fats are derived from animal products and can be limited by choosing lean cuts of meat, skinless poultry and low fat dairy for example.

Other important considerations for maintaining brain health include regularly engaging in mental puzzles and games, such as crosswords and sudoku, challenging self with new

activities, writing letters or journals and keeping socially active. Quitting smoking is also a critical step to improving overall health.

In general, following a heart healthy lifestyle will also help to preserve long-term brain health and support the prevention of Alzheimer’s and other dementias in older adults.

Sandra Gentleman, RD, is an Alberni Valley-based registered dietitian and steward of Canal Beach.

Eating healthy and exercising also aids in developing a healthy brain.

Edgy Lexus looker enters crowded crossover marketWhere has the modern station wagon gone? Nowhere, it’s just called some-thing else–a crossover or small SUV. The traditional family station wagon has been replaced with taller, more practical SUVs that provide similar interior space but add functionality, like a power rear lift gate, all wheel drive (AWD) and better outward visibility. Automakers have taken notice and, with a few exceptions, have abandoned the traditional station wagon and produced a small SUV instead. This market has exploded in popularity to the point that it is the fasted growing segment in the market today.This is a tough battle-ground but Lexus hopes its track record of building high quality products will attract a new buyer to the NX.Looks“Bam, look at me. No, look at me,” screams this new NX. The edgy design will turns heads and gar-ner attention but I have come to realize two things about the car business. First, when a design is rather edgy, it can date quickly. The second is that the initial “bam, look at me” wears off, and the product just becomes part of the vehicular landscape, losing the initial pop. If you squint your eyes, just a bit, you can see the Toyota RAV4, the vehicle the NX is based on. The “spindle” grille that has now migrated across the Lexus family is very prominent, especially the F-Sport version of the NX. The F-Sport is the upscale, sportier model that Lexus hopes will attract the same youthful buyers that have moved into the Lexus IS compact car. The base

NX 200t doesn’t have as large a front grille but the side accent lines, swept front windshield and defined rear lights all make a statement. Other than the bigger grille, the F-Sport model also gets larger wheels, a sportier suspen-sion and LED headlamps on both low and high beam where the base model gets LED lamps only in the low setting.InsideThe exterior might be an acquired taste but the inside is a refined and practical

place to spend time. The same “spindle” motif is carried into the centre console, with aluminum accents pieces that frame the high-mounted centre stack. The shifter and computer controller are placed to perfection making it easy for the driver to interact with the NX without having to look down. The base con-troller is a rotary knob, similar to Audi’s MMI system, the optional Remote Touch system has a track pad that lets the driver scroll and press the pad, the same

way we all use a laptop touch pad. Above the controller is a 7-inch screen that displays the information and is positioned well, helping to keep the attention on the road ahead. The inside of the cabin might not look that invit-ing because of the sweeping roofline but in practice, it really is a comfortable 5-seat vehicle with standard 8-way power and heated front seats. The rear seats sit higher off the floor for good outward visibility and the headliner has been scooped out to help maximize the interior space. Cargo is on par with others in this class and a power litigate is optional.

DriveThe worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct in-ject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is get-ting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passen-gers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll.VerdictWhat Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbo-charged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Cruze: is cruising up the charts

Our neighbours to the south may still be suspicious of smaller vehicles but they are more than welcome on driveways north of the border.In the top 20 best sellers, 15 are compact or sub-com-pacts and the remaining five are by no means gas-guzzlers.The Honda Civic is the perennial top seller, and according to the latest figures available, the Hyundai Elantra and the Toyota Corolla follow it. The Chevrolet Cruze, currently with a starting sticker price of a few bucks more than $15,200, sits in a solid fourth place and it’s a ray of light for General Motors.It recorded a five per-cent year-over-year sales

increase in the first quarter reports. Its 2014 March sales were a fraction under 50 percent better than last year. In fact, it’s the brand’s bestseller with worldwide sales in excess of two million since its launch. Much has been written about the Ford revival and its excellent world car prod-ucts – most of which fall into the small car category. GM does have competing products in what’s become a crowded market. The sub-compact Sonic is in the top 20 but nothing has caught fire in the way the Cruze has.It first surfaced here in late 2010 as a globally developed and designed compact four-door sedan and five-door hatchback, replacing the outgoing Cobalt. When I drove one of the early editions, I was

impressed with its design and performance, which matched any rival. It’s a car for a small family starting out or singles with a daily commute on their hands. However, I feared the Cruze would suffer from the ap-parent prejudice against do-mestically produced small cars but its sales prove me to be a pessimist!It may be a young’un but it’s already undergone some significant changes and engine improvements. Perhaps most significant among them was the in-troduction of a clean diesel version (pictured here) with a sticker price of around $26,000. It’s not inexpen-sive but Canadians like the 4.2 L/100 km highway fuel consumption offered by the 2-litre, turbocharged diesel powerplant.The base Cruze LS is also easy on your gas budget. Its standard 6-speed manual transmission, coupled with a 1.4-litre powerplant, promises a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.4

L/100 km – the auto tranny makes that 5.6 L/100 km. The Cruze Eco’s 1.4L tur-bocharged ECOTEC engine, generates 138 horses and sips 4.6 L/100 km on the highway. It looks good today but in 2015, the Cruze gets a significant visual refresh with an updated grille and body shape that will give it more than a passing resemblance to its larger sibling Malibu. We’re told it will get significant tech changes, including an infotainment system with a driver alert text system that can be read through smart phones and over Bluetooth, plus additional USB ports, and a 4G LTE connection enabling it to function as a WiFi hot spot. The Chevrolet AppShop will allow owners to download all available apps directly to the vehicle, offering access to vehicle data, music, news, weather and travel information.

The Port Alberni No. 7 Challenge steam train running race is back.

Runners will challenge the steam train in a 10-kilometre race on Saturday, July 12, starting at 10 a.m. at the train station.

Tickets are $10 to enter on the day of the race, which includes a family return train/ mill ticket (two adults and three children maximum, including the runner).

The route has changed slightly at the beginning of the race this year: runners will be able to start from the train station and run through the Catalyst Paper site along Harbour Road, organizer Brian Callender said.

Please e-mail Callender at [email protected] for more information and pre-registration. Runners are welcome to show up on the day of the race as well. Families must board the train by 9:40 a.m. at the latest.

Blazers win U16 bantam C silverFASTBALL: | Girls weather rainout, five games in a row on Sunday and surprise everyone by making the final.


The host Alberni Valley Blazers captured silver medals on their home field at the U16-C girls’ fastball championships last weekend. Sixteen teams from around B.C. played in a round robin and double knockout championship round at Echo fields.

“We weren’t expected to go that far,” head coach Greg Dolling said.

“I have a lot of girls that have never played competitive ball. We worked them hard all season,” he said.

The Blazers finished fourth in the round robin to advance—the top eight teams made the championship round. They played their first game of the double

knockout Saturday night and lost to Ridge Meadows. A three-hour rain delay Sunday morning threatened to quash the Blazers’ chances at winning.

Tournament organizers decided that if the rain didn’t

stop by 11:30 a.m. the four teams that lost on Saturday would be eliminated, and the four that won would wait out the rain. Volunteers were able to get the fields in playing shape, thanks to a delivery of sand, and the eight teams

were able to finish out the double knockout.

The Blazers played five games on Sunday, meeting Ridge Meadows again in the gold medal game. The tired host team wasn’t able to shut down Ridge Meadows, who won 7–0.

“We had some really good games throughout the day,” Dolling said. “The girls played really well.

They overcame all of what I expected out of them, which was a great feeling.”

Because the U16 Blazers finished second in B.C., they will move up a level and compete in U16B next season. Age-wise, there are quite a few players who can return to play that level but Dolling said “we’re looking into the future.”

BASE HITS…Dolling coaches the Blazers with Rob Ivezich, Ross Matthews and Matt Skeldoch…Other Island teams competing in the U16 provincials included Langford Lightning, Campbell River Crushers and Parksville Rage.

[email protected]


Alberni Blazers pitcher Ashley Skeldoch winds up to throw in the top of the second inning, above, while Lauren Ivezich powers to third base in the top of the second before breaking a 2-2 tie against Chilliwack in round robin play on Saturday at Echo fields.

also successful in acquiring a land use permit from Island Timberlands for a four-acre parcel of land adjoining the provincial park, which

they will be able to use as overflow for racers, said Van Bergen, who is part of the core group that has revived the event.

Admission to the regatta is by donation; organizers are not

allowed to charge a set fee because the event is taking place in a provincial park. Concessions will be available at the site. No alcohol will be permitted.

As parking on the site is limited, overflow parking will be at the Alberni

Valley Regional Airport with free shuttle service between the airport and the lake all day.

For more information, go online to www.AlberniValleyRegatta.com, or check out their Facebook page.

U19s finish fifth at B.C.sSUSAN QUINN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The Girls U19 Blazers came home from their softball provincials in Richmond with a fifth place finish last weekend.

The Blazers finished fourth overall in the initial round robin and advanced to the double knockout championship round, where they won once and lost twice to finish fifth.

“They’re mostly 16-year-olds and a few 17-year-olds competing in the U19 classification,” coach Shannon Charlesworth said.

“It’s a three-year age gap and they are the youngest. They played hard.

“They exceeded my expectations from where I thought they were going to finish,” Charlesworth added.

Cranbrook Heat won the gold medal, defeating View Royal

Stingers. Gibsons Crusherz finished third.

EXTRA BASES…The Alberni Valley Minor Softball Association will apply to host the 2015 U19-C provincials next summer. “We’ve had such a great history of hosting provincials,” Charlesworth said.

“Usually we apply every year and get a provincial—it just depends.”
