enowned environmental activist David Suzuki will be speaking to the public tonight as part of his Celebrating Coastal Connections tour. The tour is a chance for Suzuki and representatives from his foundation to meet with residents along the coast of B.C. and discuss regional climate change issues. “It is also a chance to celebrate the years of work and leadership shown by the First Nations on the protection and planning through the recent signing of the Marine Planning Partnership,” said Panos Grames, communications specialist for the David Suzuki Foundation. The agreement between the Government of B.C. and

“Climate change is happening around us each and every day. We talked to people about the ways it affects their lives living on the coast.” Ian Mauro, filmmaker

18 coastal First Nations was signed in April and is intended to lead the way for ocean conservation. Tonight’s event will feature a 30-minute preview of an upcoming film on the impacts of climate change close to home. Shot last summer along the coast and interior of the province by award-winning filmmaker, Ian Mauro, the film is

told through the perspective of local people. “Climate change is happening around us each and every day,” Mauro said. “We talked to people about the ways it affects their lives living on the coast.” Following the film, Suzuki will speak of his personal experiences and spark discussion among the audience. Suzuki is hoping to engage residents and hear their concerns and solutions facing the community, as well as discuss visions for a healthy future. The tour includes 12 B.C. communities from Smithers to Nanaimo from June 1 to 13. Tonight’s special presentation takes place at Maht Mahs gymnasium from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Kristi.Dobson@avtimes.net

Two bylaws for the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District to borrow $6 million in funding for improvements to the regional airport have been submitted to the provincial government for approval. The 30-year loan would cost Alberni home owners about $23 on their yearly tax bill for an assessed property value of $200,000. If the bylaws are approved by the provincial Inspector of Municipalities, then a month-long public approval process will begin, giving Alberni Valley residents the opportunity to sign a petition opposing the loan. One bylaw is for authorization to borrow $6 million for expanding the Alberni Valley Regional Airport, a second bylaw is required to finance the debt annually through the Municipal Finance Authority. While the bylaws would provide the required financial room for expansion and improvement of the regional airport, the ACRD hopes to fund the entire $7.5 million cost with government grants through the Gas Tax Strategic Priorities Fund. The bylaws passed through three readings last week at the ACRD board meeting. “The [Inspector of Municipalities] has to sign off on each bylaw, then provide it back to the board for them to then adopt,” said Russell Dyson, chief administrative officer of the ACRD. The bylaws would then be advertised in a local newspaper at least twice in two consecutive weeks. At that point, what’s called an “alternate approval process” must take place for 32 days. If at least 10 per cent of residents in

the Alberni Valley indicate their disapproval by signing a petition, then the bylaw can only proceed with a referendum, Dyson said. Petition forms would be made available on the acrd website (acrd.bc.ca). “The Alberni Valley [residents] are the only ones that pay for the airport,” he said. Residents in Port Alberni, Beaver Creek, Cherry Creek, Sproat Lake and Beaufort can take part in the public approval process. The airport improvement would require $6 million to extend the runway by 300 metres and install a global positioning system. A further $1.5 million would pay to improve the runway lighting. These improvements would enable corporate airlines to provide regular passenger service to the regional airport, but whether or not that actually happens is up to the major carriers, Dyson noted. “The better the facility that we provide, securing a GPS, creates a better opportunity for them to make that investment,” he said. A decision on how much, if any, funding the ACRD will receive from the government is anticipated in the fall, said Dyson. Martin.Wissmath@avtimes.net

School preps for Around the World Fair “There are always a lot of familiar faces and a lot of new ones.”

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

A giant fun fair will take over the entire grounds of John Paul II Catholic School on Friday evening. For the third time, staff, students and parents are gearing up to present the community with the Around the World in Three Hours Fun Fair and have something in store for all ages. Based on the global theme, each classroom will represent a different country with decorations, music and games. The students have been involved in the organizing and were required to come up with creative ideas. “Everything has to go along with the country they chose,” said educational assistant Crystal Salmon. “So instead of just a regular bean bag toss, one of the classrooms has a medieval England theme and will have a castle with weapons to use to get the bean bag into the castle.” Along with each classroom, the gym and parking lot will be full of things to do. Everyone is

welcome to attend and tour the school to find a bouncy castle, pony rides, petting zoo, cake walk and face painting. Leading up to the event has

been a huge raffle basket fundraiser. Nine themed baskets, with values ranging from $300 to $500 each, have been created and the winning tickets will be

drawn at the fair’s end. Salmon said the planning started just before Christmas. “It is the big celebration at the end of the year and hundreds

attend,” she said. “There are always a lot of familiar faces and a lot of new ones.” As the largest fundraiser for the school, money raised in the past has gone towards the purchase of new playground equipment. This year’s goal is to replace the aging gym floor. The gym is used not only by the students for physical education and assemblies, but the school also hosts other events and works in partnership with the school district for inter-mural sports tournaments. The fair runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. this Friday, June 5 at the school, located at 4006 Eighth Avenue. Kristi.Dobson@avtimes.net

Music continues through changes

Dog needs TLC and forever home

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The greatest interest at May’s final school board meeting of the month was the reconfiguration of Band 6 and 7, according to Supt. Greg Smyth. With the Alberni Valley school district changing form middle schools to kindergarten to Grade 7 in the 2015–16 school year, the concern lies with the existing band program currently offered to Grades 6 to 8 students. Smyth said there will continue to be fine arts delivery, including dance, drama, music and visual arts, with an emphasis on music instruction for kindergarten through Grade 7 students. Next year, E.J. Dunn and A.W. Neill middle schools will transition from Grades 6 to 8 to K–7. “The Grade 7s are still at Neill and Dunn and will continue their art or band program they started,” Smyth said. “The real question is ‘What does Music 6 become?’” He said it is expected that all students in kindergarten through Grade 7 will participate in music education classes. In September, Alberni, John Howitt, Maquinna and Wood elementary schools will continue to offer K–6 music programs. Music 6 will be a critical year of exploring options for a seamless transition to an instrumental music program for students the following year. Band 7 will be delivered at E.J. Dunn and A.W. Neill elementary schools as a continuation of the fine arts electives (band

SMYTH and art) previously offered to Grades 6 to 8 students. Smyth expects to work with elementary music teachers, the Local Specialist Association and school administrators over the next year to ensure a high quality and consistent music program is delivered to all elementary schools. Feedback from a previous round table board meeting showed parents and students wanted to see a band program implemented at the elementary level. When Alberni, John Howitt, Maquinna and Wood elementary schools transition to K–7 in September 2016, there will be music programs at all Alberni Valley elementary schools, including an emphasis on instrumental (band) at Grade 7, according to Smyth’s report. He said the upcoming school year will give administration time to review and address the logistics of an instrumental focus for Grade 7s.

Staff are hoping local animal lovers will come through for Zizi, a nine-year-old black and white lhasa apso mix, who suffers from severe skin and ear infections as well as a chronic eye problem, called “dry eye.” The affectionate canine also needs dental work done, as her mouth is infected and abscessed from severe dental disease. “Despite all her medical problems and the pain she must be experiencing, Zizi is such a sweet-natured, gentle and lovable girl,” said branch manager Irene Towell. “She’s already a staff favourite! She gets along with everyone, animals and humans alike. We just want to ease her pain and hopefully find her a loving, forever home where she will be well cared for.” The medical costs for Zizi’s care are expected to exceed $3,000. A non-profit organization, the BC SPCA relies mainly on public donations carrying out its life-saving work in helping the province’s most vulnerable animals. If you can help Zizi and other animals like her in need at the Port Alberni SPCA, visit spca.

Sponsors should help clean up FIFA W hat will it take for FIFA, the international soccer organization, to start cleaning up its act? If anything, it may be the same thing that has got it mired in scandal: money. Certainly, it won’t be the majority of the 209 national soccer federations that collectively disgraced themselves on Friday by voting their long-time president, Sepp Blatter, back into office for a fifth term. The Canadian Soccer Association, to its credit, was among those that cast their ballots against Blatter in the aftermath of shocking charges by U.S. and Swiss authorities of “rampant,

systemic and deep-rooted” corruption in international soccer. The United States and dozens of European countries voted to kick him out, but he kept the loyalty of many more soccer organizations around the globe. Blatter, the spider at the centre of FIFA’s world-wide web, may have kept his presidency for the moment. But this story is just beginning, and it’s already clear that the organization can move forward only by cutting him loose. Even before Friday’s vote, the head of England’s soccer association, Greg Dyke, said “it is over anyway for Blatter.” What may finally bring him to heel – and force the inter-

national game to clean house – is the threat that the corruption scandal may lead to the money taps being turned off. Even as Blatter was being confirmed as president, major sponsors that pour hundreds of millions of dollars a year into the game were backing away. They include Coca-Cola, Adidas, McDonald’s, Scotiabank and Visa, which all distanced themselves from the unfolding scandal. After all, the companies pay many millions in the hope that a bit of the sport’s positive image will rub off on them. If FIFA, and international soccer, become associated more with corruption than with elite com-

petition, they’ll be paying just to share in the shame. Of course, it’s unlikely that many major sponsors will flee the sport entirely unless the stench emanating from FIFA becomes unbearable. Many companies have stayed with the organization for decades despite persistent rumours of corruption: in the four years leading up to the 2014 World Cup FIFA collected $1.6 billion in sponsorship money. When money spent on TV advertising is included, the takings added up to an astonishing $5.72 billion. The World Cup audience is the biggest global sports audience, something international firms

cannot lightly ignore. But it will be in their best interest to make sure FIFA at least gives a convincing appearance of taking the latest allegations seriously. So far, Blatter has shown he just wants to pretend the whole thing will go away. It won’t, especially as more allegations inevitably emerge. If FIFA won’t act to dump him, then major sponsors should put on the pressure – if only to protect their sizable investments in the beautiful, but tarnished, game.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@avtimes.net NDP MLA needs more research, less salary Once again Adrian Dix is blowing off steam, as usual, not doing any research on the topic. On May 25 in the legislature during question period, Dix was asking energy minister Bill Bennett why his political assistant was the successful candidate for the advertised job as Director for Policy with B.C. Hydro. Dix claims that this political assistant has no utility experience, no experience in energy policy, no crown corporation experience, no regulatory experience, and no policy analyst experience. This is no different than the new NDP government in Alberta. The new Minister of Finance of Alberta is a former social worker. What does a social worker know about debits, credits, and financial statements especially when this new minister of finance cannot even fill out his own income tax return and pays someone else to fill out his tax return. Dix’s comments are unsatisfactory for the $102,878 taxpayer funded salary he receives as a MLA. Unbelievable! Joe Sawchuk Duncan

about the smart meters and cell towers. For myself, BC Hydro has refused to accommodate my diagnosed environmental illness and has installed 28 smart meters next to my property in Ucluelet. I cannot live next to this high radiation. Recently, I monitored the radiation from this bank of meters with an RF meter. These 28 meters were activating at a high level every 2–2 1/2 minutes. This is far in extreme to any information provided by BC Hydro and extremely hazardous to health. Further, when the “data dump” is happening with high radiation, the lights flicker. Not only hazardous to health but warning signals of a burning meter. BC Hydro refuses to act. Another Alberni-Pacific constituent also wishes to attend a meeting with the MLA. This

person is also electohypersensitive, he sleeps in a tent to get away from the radiation and lives without power. A third constituent, also electrohypersensitive, is now forced to sell their home and attempt to find a safe place to live because of the new cell tower erected in Port Alberni. On May 11, I stopped by Scott Fraser’s office in Port Alberni to ask when we could arrange for a meeting with Mr. Fraser. A friend came into the office with me. I wanted to show her the extremely high radiowaves in the MLA’s office – which is located just across the street from the new cell tower. My RF meter peaks out inside Mr. Fraser’s office. A lady is working at the office. I had stopped once before to ask about a meeting, and I also showed her the high levels of RF in her office. Marlene Macfarlane Ucluelet

Question Period in Parliament is foolish TV host Alex Trebek when asked to comment after viewing Question Period of Canadian Parliament said “there is a lot of repetition from the speakers.” This confirms why Canadians have become disaffected by the democratic dysfunction of debate on the house floor. The effort is foolishness. Please Parliamentarians, watch yourselves on video for a week and see why voters are so disgusted with the process. Most opposition speakers say nothing of positive value to any

legislation. There is only the party spin, sarcasm, whining and complaining which is endlessly repeated. Always there are threats of Supreme Court challenges from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms or from the Constitution. The courts are crushingly expensive. The legal arguments are a confounding lawyer-speak that overwhelms the Canadian public. Voters must make the legislators cherish our support by working for the peoples’ benefit, not the corporate, not the lobbyist, not the minority activists but for the majority good of the collective community. Demands for oversight of legislation merely disrupts things with too many cooks around the cooking pot stirring in their own solution. Elected representatives must learn to speak suggestions that favor honest resolution of good legislation. It is too easy to find speakers who whip a vote against things, by spewing emotional negativity. Those legislators worthy of support deserve the wages of serving the public community. The repetitive politics are not just in Question Period but in committees, floor debates, media interviews and are not relevant to Canadians any more. We weep from embarrassment or from laughing so hard at Parliamentarians. Do you take democracy seriously? Bruce E. Hornidge Port Alberni » We want to hear from you.

Alberni Valley Bulldogs add new goalie coach Alex Evin joins staff after spending last two seasons part-time ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The B.C. Hockey League’s Alberni Valley Bulldogs have announced Alex Evin has been hired as a full-time assistant coach and goalie coach. Evin spent the last two seasons with the Bulldogs as a part-time goalie coach while serving as an assistant and then head coach of the Selkirk College Saints in the BCIHL. Evin won three consecutive BCIHL championships with Selkirk College. Evin grew up in Castlegar, and played his entire minor hockey there before moving up to the BCHL. In five seasons, Evin spent time with Powell River, Williams Lake and Penticton, where he led the team to a Fred Page Cup Championship in 2008.

During his BCHL career, he appeared in 221 games (including playoffs) and earned a full-ride NCAA Division 1 scholarship to Colgate University. Selected by the Calgary Hitmen 66th overall in the 2002 WHL bantam draft, Evin decided to pursue an NCAA scholarship. In 2003-04 he was named to the BCHL all-rookie team and was awarded the Powell River Kings academic achievement award. After three seasons with the Kings, Evin was traded to the Williams Lake Timberwolves in 2006-07 where he started 54 of the teams 60 games and was awarded team MVP. He went on to play his final junior hockey season with the Penticton Vees in 2007-08 where he set career highs in all statistical categories.

That season he was awarded the Wally Forslund Memorial Trophy (with goalie partner Bryan Mountain), BCHL top goaltender, team MVP and finalist for league MVP, all in a championship season. Evin attended Colgate from 2008- 2012, graduating with a degree in English. “I am very excited to join the Bulldogs full-time,” he said. “As a player, and now as a coach, I have a lot of respect for the hockey program. “The community support is tremendous and I am excited to help the team contend for a championship.” “We are very excited to have Alex join the Bulldogs on a fulltime basis,” said Bulldogs head coach and general manager Kevin Willison.

Lightning’s road to Stanley Cup has them ready for Blackhawks STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Lightning were constantly reminded this post-season of what they hadn’t done. This version of the Lightning hadn’t won a playoff game, let alone a series, knew nothing about Game 7 pressure and ventured into uncharted territory in the conference final. Along the way, the young Lightning became the first team since 1998 to reach the Stanley Cup final after being swept the previous year and the first in NHL history to defeat three Original Six teams to get to this point. After already knocking off the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers, they can add another if they beat the Chicago Blackhawks and raise the Cup. More than history, though, the Lightning picked up valuable lessons over the first three rounds that make them more prepared to take on Chicago, which Steven Stamkos called “the ultimate beast.” “This is the biggest challenge yet,” Stamkos said Monday after practice at Amalie Arena. “You grow as a team throughout each round, you learn a lot about this group, the adversities we’ve had to overcome, the great players that we’ve played along the way and have overcome.” Tampa Bay eliminated Detroit’s Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, Montreal’s Carey Price and P.K. Subban and New York’s Henrik Lundqvist and Rick Nash. Blackhawks stars Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith await. Stamkos and said Chicago’s skill level is “second to none,” but the mental hurdle of the Cup final for the Lightning is

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Travis Lulay drops back to pass and launches a ball down field. At another training camp with another quarterback, the play might be forgotten before the next snap. But as the B.C. Lions gathered for their first practice on Sunday morning, it was a further signal that the club’s veteran pivot is ready to put 18 months of shoulder-injury frustration behind him. “I was pleased with what I was able to do today,” said Lulay. “There wasn’t a throw that I looked at that I couldn’t make on account of my shoulder. “We’re going to keep a close eye on it.” As they should. Lulay has suffered crippling injuries to his throwing shoulder each of the last two seasons. The first was corrected by surgery, but when he finally returned to the lineup last year following a rehabilitation that stretched into September, Lulay re-injured the joint in his only start and again found himself on the sidelines. The 31-year-old opted against undergoing another procedure and instead chose a rehab program under new head coach Jeff Tedford that included throwing from different angles and falling onto mats. It’s only the first day of camp, but the Lions were encouraged by what they saw. “He’s making progress. It’s a process for him,” said Tedford. “He’s worked himself to where he is right now. We’ve just got to keep monitoring. He’ll do more and more, and get stronger and stronger as we go.” A former Grey Cup MVP, Lulay made a number of different throws during the morning practice, including roll outs to the wide side of the field and deep ins. “Those are the challenging throws that our league presents and I was able to make them today for the most part,” he said. “A few throws didn’t quite have the intensity that I like, but it’s Day 1. That’s going to happen regardless. It’s getting your feet under you and getting your eyes right.” Another player back on the field after having the 2014 season cut short by injury was Andrew Harris, the star Canadian running back who suffered a dislocated ankle in September. Tedford was hoping to ease Harris into camp, but with two other backs down with early injuries the 28-year-old was right in the thick of things. “It’s good to get that rust

knocked off and just get in the motions of cutting and doing things that I haven’t been able to do,” said Harris. “It’s the confidence in situations where you don’t really know how strong (the ankle) is yet.” Lulay and Harris are among the veterans at camp getting to know Tedford after he replaced the fired Mike Benevides in December. A former head coach at the University of California, Tedford is looking to implement a high-tempo offence, something that Harris welcomed following a sneak peak at April’s minicamp. “He’s really particular on certain things and really disciplined,” said the Winnipeg native. “He asks a lot of us, but it’s fair. One thing that’s consistent with him is he’s the same with everyone. There’s no favourites. Everyone’s here on a clean slate and we’re all trying to prove ourselves to make this team.” Lulay said an adjustment period is to be expected, but added that a trust between the coaching staff and the players should develop quickly. “We’ve got to be willing to embrace doing things a little bit different in a handful of spots, knowing that the end goal is finding ways to win football games,” said Lulay. “We’re all humble enough to realize we don’t have it all figured out ... we can take a cue from a leader.” Notes: Lions quarterback John Beck is not currently with the team because of an undisclosed illness. ... Former NFL receiver Lavelle Hawkins, who played for Tedford at Cal, left practice with a suspected broken arm.

overcoming the experience gap. Having beaten three teams with more post-season experience helps. “I think it just gives us confidence and realize that we are a young team, but going against experienced teams that we have to give ourselves a chance,” winger Ryan Callahan said. “Our inexperience is OK sometimes. We’re learning as we go here.” Coach Jon Cooper said it has been “an unreal journey to watch 23 different souls come together as one” this season. Maybe it’s an even longer process, as defenceman Matt Carle wondered if this run would have even happened had the Lightning not been swept by the Canadiens last year. But the classroom on the ice for this group began against the Red Wings. After falling behind three

times in the series, the Lightning fought through plenty of obstacles to move on. “There was absolutely no space, no speed,” centre Tyler Johnson said. “I think that kind of taught us how to play. Using that against Montreal, then New York and just kind of doing that moulded us into the team we are right now.” Plenty motivated against the Montreal team that swept them last year, the Lightning took a stranglehold on the second-round series before losing twice. Their Game 6 domination was evidence they could close out an opponent. Against the Rangers, the Lightning learned another lesson the hard way when they lost Game 1. Expect that to be a point of emphasis before Game 1 against Chicago on Wednesday.

B.C. Lions rookie takes different path JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Greg McGhee’s football path changed course after Jeff Tedford came calling. Following a four-year career at Howard University, the 22-year-old quarterback was training in hopes of getting a shot in the NFL. But when the head coach of the B.C. Lions paid McGhee a visit, he soon realized his immediate future lay north of the border. “(Tedford) came out to Virginia where I was working out,” said McGhee. “He basically told me that I bring something to the team that they don’t really have here and that I’d be a great asset.” After weighing his options, McGhee signed with the Lions in February, forgoing any chance to participate at the NFL combine, a move that showed he’s serious about the CFL and gave him the opportunity to take part in B.C.’s passing camp in April before his first professional training camp. “I think it just made sense to him,” Tedford said after a recent practice at Thompson Rivers University. “I laid out to him what his reality was in terms of his opportunity in the NFL or opportunity in the CFL.” A Pittsburgh native, McGhee is the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s all-time leader for total yards with 10,169, including 2,579 on the ground. Tedford coached a number of big-name quarterbacks during his time at the University of California, most notably former Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers, and said McGhee has all the tools to be successful at this level. “He’s athletic, he’s smart, he’s got a strong arm,” said Tedford, in his first year with the Lions. “He can put the ball anywhere on the field. He’s got a lot of gifts.” Most players from the U.S. joining CFL teams don’t know much about the league before arriving, but McGhee had a strong connection in former Montreal Alouettes quarterback Ted White, who is now Howard’s offensive co-ordinator.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take a risk, now that you can see the big picture. Clear up any confusion by having a brainstorming session. You easily could have a misunderstanding arise from out of the blue. Give some extra time and attention to a key person. Tonight: Respond to an inquiry. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make an extra effort toward key people in your life. How you see a situation is likely to change as a result. You genuinely will feel more upbeat than you have in quite a while. Avoid overspending if possible. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Try to tame your challenging ways in order to get past a problem that keeps reappearing. You might want to let go of an interaction that is most uncomfortable. You could find yourself in a squabble before you realize it. Proceed with care. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Much is going on in your mind, and you could be going over the same scenario over and over again. Do whatever works

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll discover the pros and cons of a situation by tapping into your ingenuity. An argument could ensue from out of nowhere. Don’t let a misunderstanding develop into anything more; the other party probably has been under a lot of pressure. Tonight: Keep the peace. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The instinct to stay close to home or to cocoon in some way might not be a bad thing. You have personal matters to handle, and you likely will have to deal with someone who has become quite difficult. Step back and get out of the line of fire. Tonight: Make it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Go after what you want, but expect to get some flak from a loved one. This person simply does not agree with you right now. Take an overview, and you might be able to present the issue in a way that this person can understand. Tonight: Stay on top of a problem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A discussion will allow others to express their feelings and support. You might need to have a brainstorming session with someone who likes to play devil’s advocate. Understand what is going on in your immediate circle. Tonight: Take a night off from everything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be dragged down by a situation that becomes difficult, as someone might want to express his or her views and get your approval. You’ll be able to prevent a volatile interaction if you choose to. Allow a sense of humor to come into play. Tonight: Hang with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll greet someone with a great deal of deference. You might be ready to move in a new direction, but someone is likely to disagree with your choice. You will hear about it in no uncertain terms. You both see the matter in a different light. Tonight: Go with the unexpected.

Bees and blackberries mix to make a perfect winery

Nutrition Notes

Water will quench thirst of toddlers in summer

Four generations of Brennan family make their living in Black Creek Sheila Hockin The Lucky Gourmet

C

oastal Black Estate Winery and Meadery is located in Black Creek. Living and working together, four generations of the Brennan family make their living from its 400 acres of vineyards, bee keeping operations, a working sawmill and a winery. But those aren’t grapes on the rows of vines that roll along, acre after acre. They are blackberries. The winery has 80 acres of blackberries, 20 acres of blueberries and 20 acres of raspberries. The berries are the base for all of Coastal Black’s fruit wines, as well as being sold locally at farmers’ markets and grocery stores. Driving onto the property, one is struck with the beauty of those blackberry vines. The spectacular vista includes three large windmills in amongst the blackberry rows. The flagship table wine of this vineyard is the Blackberry, which, naturally enough, is bursting with blackberry flavour. Bold, crisp and made from 100% blackberries, it pairs beautifully with barbequed hamburgers and juicy marinated steaks. If a bubbly is what you are after, the Coastal Black Blackberry Sparkling is excellent. The wine’s crisp effervescence and off-dry blackberry flavour make it a perfect accompaniment

for egg rolls or even tempura prawns. The sparkling blackberry wine is a prime ingredient within a refreshing variation on sangria. Combine a bottle of this bubbly wine with your favorite fresh berries plus a splash or two of orange juice and you are set to serve, not to mention, wow your guests. From the beekeeping operation, meads (alcoholic beverages made from honey) are made from Fireweed honey gathered from the property’s bee hives. The honey is fermented for six to eight months in stainless steel fermentation tanks, each lovingly given a girl’s name like Holly or Emma.

Given the creative impulse that led Abel & Amanda Brennan to transform a standard dairy farm into today’s berry winery, it’s not surprising the blueberry wine and honey is blended into their Blueberry Mead. The result pairs remarkably well with anything from smoked Gouda to spicy shrimp dishes. With close ties to the community, Coastal Black hosts many local charity and family-friendly events like an its annual Pumpkin Festival and The Coastal Black Christmas, complete with several live reindeer that call Coastal Black home. The events are usually held

in the winery’s massive barn, presently being outfitted with a 40-foot-long wooden bar, the logs being felled on the property and then milled at the family sawmill. Coastal Black Winery will be joining us at Lucky’s Liquor Store at the Country Club Centre in Nanaimo for our second annual Indulge event at 7 p.m., on Thursday, June 11, featuring only Vancouver Island wineries, cideries and distilleries. To reserve your tickets call us at the store 250-585-2275 or for more information on the Indulge Event check out our website at www.luckysliquor.ca or on Facebook.

FOOD

With Father’s Day coming up, here’s a recipe for a classic Dagwood sandwich

ALISON LADMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You know what Dad really wants for Father’s Day this year? A sandwich. No, seriously. Guys generally are not complex creatures. And they don’t tend to ask for much. The occasional electronic gizmo (which they’d rather pick out for themselves anyway, thank you very much). Maybe tickets to a sports game. Perhaps somebody else to mow the lawn for once. Heck, even just a night off to play poker with his buddies. See what I mean? Guys are easy. Which is why no matter what sort of dad you have, chances are very good that he would love somebody to make him a killer sandwich. Which is to say, you can’t just make him a ham and cheese on white bread. Even basic guys like a great sandwich, emphasis on the

great. So we created a sandwich inspired by one of the most famous sandwich-loving dads: Dagwood Bumstead. His version was more difficult to eat — and often twice the size of his head — but we tamed it only slightly. Serve with a pickle spear and a pile of crisp potato chips or french fries. ——— FATHERS DAY DAGWOOD SANDWICH Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 1 1/4 cup cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar Hefty pinch kosher salt 1/4-inch thick slice red onion, separated into rings 2 slices soft deli-style rye bread 1 slice soft dark pumpernickel bread Light mayonnaise Deli mustard Thousand Island or Russian dressing 2 slices deli-sliced turkey

2 slices deli-sliced ham 2 slices provolone cheese 2 tablespoons sliced roasted red pepper, patted dry 2 large leaves romaine lettuce 2 slices pastrami 2 slices Swiss cheese 3 slices crisp-cooked bacon 2 slices tomato 2 tablespoons sliced banana peppers 2 large green olives In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Microwave on high until simmering, 30 to 45 seconds, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the onion rings, stir, cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the 2 slices of rye and 1 slice of pumpernickel on the counter. Spread 1 slice rye with light mayonnaise, spread the second slice of rye with deli mustard, then spread the slice of pumpernickel with Thousand Island or Russian dressing. Start assembling the sandwich

with a slice of rye on the bottom. Top with the turkey, ham, provolone and roasted red peppers, in that order. Top with 1 of the leaves of romaine, folding it as needed to fit the sandwich. Add the slice of pumpernickel bread, then top that with the pastrami, Swiss cheese and bacon. Top the bacon with the second leaf of romaine, again folding to fit. Top with the tomato slices and banana peppers. Drain the onions and pat dry with paper towels. Layer the onions over the sandwich and top with the second slice of rye. Cut the whole sandwich in half, placing a large toothpick topped with an olive into each side to hold it together.

TORONTO — After years in the modelling industry, Jessica Milan has transitioned from the catwalk to the culinary world. The Toronto-based model-turned-photographer combined her work behind the camera with a love of cooking in founding the vegan food blog Lookbook Cookbook. The term “lookbook” is widely used in fashion circles, describing the set of photos featuring a designer’s new collection, typically for marketing purposes. “I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my life and I’ve always been really into healthy eating,” said Milan, 29.

“I think especially when you model, obviously you want to look and feel your best and still enjoy food. So, I really started getting into the cooking more ... trying to create healthy meals for myself that still tasted as good and were fun to eat.” Unlike other food-focused sites where the dish is the star attraction, Milan adopted a magazine-style flair in capturing images. Enlisting both professional models and novices, Milan showcases a diverse group of women digging into her dishes while posing for the camera. “I just tell them really to be themselves and just go for it — just to eat.” Milan’s recipes and photog-

raphy have been featured in Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Marie Claire and Glamour, as well as fashion sites like American Apparel and Urban Outfitters. With her new book Lookbook Cookbook: Simple, Delicious, Gluten-Free & Vegan Dishes (Page Street Publishing Co.), Milan has broadened beyond her dessert-focused blog to also feature snacks, salads, soups and smoothies. Milan said the 85 recipes are also soy-free, and most are also absent of refined sugar. “I think it’s definitely always nice to own something physical. It’s easier when you’re in a kitchen to cook,” Milan said of cookbooks. www.lookbookcookbook.com

ALBERNI DENTURE CLINIC

Former model launches cookbook THE CANADIAN PRESS

ith the recent warm weather, parents and caregivers are offering a variety of fluids to quench the thirst of their infants and toddlers. From birth to six months old, the only food recommended for babies is breast milk. There is no need for additional water in the first six months even in hot weather. If anything else is given to babies including water, juice, formula or solid foods, it can change the bacterial content of the gut and may lead to illness. Breast milk is produced on demand, so if baby drinks other fluids, the amount of available breast milk may be reduced. For babies who are formula fed, offer only store bought cow’s milk based formula from birth to six months and continue with this formula along with solid foods until baby is one year old. Today’s infant formula has enough nutrients so there is no need to offer juice, water or solid foods prior to six months of age. Formula fed infants should be fed on demand and they will probably demand more formula to get extra liquid on very hot days. At six months, an infant’s mouth and gut are usually mature enough to handle other fluids and solids. Water can be offered in a cup along with solid foods at mealtimes. Since breastfeeding will continue for two years and beyond, water is still not necessary, but this is the time to teach baby how to drink water from a cup. By six months, it is not necessary to boil the water that baby drinks if it comes from a safe source. Juice is not recommended for infants or toddlers. Too much juice can lead to picky eaters who have no appetite for food. Juice is also the leading cause of tooth decay in infants and toddlers. Cut up or mashed fruit will give your baby a small amount of fruit juice along with all the fiber and nutrients in the whole fruit. Water is the best fluid for quenching thirst in children of all ages. Soft drinks, crystal drinks, sports drinks and sugar sweetened fruit juices like blends, cocktails, punches, and fruit drinks are not recommended for children at any age. The high sugar content will take away a child’s appetite. Drinking anything sweetened for thirst will only make children thirstier. If a child says, “more juice please”, give them water. Very young babies will get all the fluid they need at their mother’s breasts. After six months, water will quench their thirst on those hot days of summer.
