The Harry Morrow ball dia-monds in Dawson Creek will be hopping with action July 10, 11 and 12 as the second annual Summer Smash Up Slow Pitch Tournament gets underway.

Organizer Lorne Weaver says so far eight teams have registered. He is hoping to have 12 teams signed up when all is said and done.

Teams interested in taking

part can contact Lorne at 250-219-0871. The registration fee is $500 and first and second prizes will vary depending on how many teams register.

There will also be a men’s and women’s home run derby and an accuracy competition. A tire will be hung from the backstop and participants will try and throw a ball through it from the pitchers mound or second base.

Four baseball bats will be given out as prizes.

Teams from Rycroft, Fort St. John, Chetwynd and Daw-son Creek took part in the first annual tournament last year, which Weaver says was a great success.

This year, a few teams had to back out, but Weaver is hoping the spots will be filled before the weekend comes around.

A concession stand will be on hand.

“It’s a good time and a lot of fun,” Weaver said.

Kids coping with illness or dealing with the impacts of crime will soon have new companions by their side.

Thanks to the efforts of one Dawson Creek resident, more than 300 teddy bears will soon find their way into the arms of kids in need.

During the month of June, Karyn Hol-land packed a trailer with 339 bears do-nated by shoppers at the Dawson Creek Mall, Co-op and Safeway.

The bears will be given out to kids at the Dawson Creek Hospital, in South Peace Community Resource Society tran-

sition homes, and with RCMP Victim's Services.

Holland said the bears make it easier for kids who need to give evidence in criminal investigations.

"It makes it less scary," she said.All three agencies go through bears

at a high rate, Holland said, adding that bear drives tend to happen around Christmas.

"They have a drive at Christmas time, but nobody thinks of them the rest of the year so they're almost out," she said. "They're down to teeny tiny teddies."

Lexi Bull was the top donor, bringing in the largest number of bears. [email protected]

Horses, quads, cars and more took to the streets of Fort St. John for the 2015 Canada Day Parade Wednesday, while in the South Peace, revelers on hors-es, floats and Shriner's carts threaded through the streets of Pouce Coupe to celebrate the country's founding.

Floats from businesses, organiza-tions and government took to the streets of Fort St. John to bedazzle spectators like Riza Lopez.

Lopez immigrated here from the Phil-lipines because Canada is “a really great country.”

“The people here are nice,” she add-ed.

Another spectator was Sharon Stew-art. She was excited to see the floats come down.

“I was born and raised here, so I love it here,” she said.

In Pouce Coupe, volunteer Alyssa Currie handed out flags to parade goers. At the head of the parade was Marshall Wayne Hiebert, who lead a column of floats from groups including Kalipi, the South Peace Filipino social club.

Among the marchers in Fort St. John was Cassidy Canoba, who rode her 17-year-old horse Molly painted with maple leafs for the North Peace Light Horse Association.

For her, it was important that we rec-ognize the benefits of living in Canada.

“[Canada] is definitely a good coun-try.” [email protected], [email protected]

What is diaper rash?Diaper rash is a skin in� ammation (swelling,

redness) caused by contact with an irritant. The redness is sometimes uniform and limited to the buttocks, or di� use, and having expanding to the perineum, genitalia, and inner thighs. When skin remains moist for prolonged periods, a fungal infection can develop and complicate things further. Healthy skin always plays host to various microbes (bacteria, fungus). However, an infection can occur when the population of one of these microbes develops too rapidly. The a� ected skin then becomes in� amed. The main cause of diaper rash is prolonged contact with urine or stools. Several factors can aggravate such a situation:

• irritation caused by some soaps, perfumes or creams

• rubbing of skin due to a tight-fi tting diaper• watertight diaper or plastic pants

(occlusive e� ect)How can diaper rash be prevented?Even though there are several e� ective

treatments for diaper rash, prevention is still the best option! Generally speaking, the baby’s skin should be kept dry and clean at all times, and contact with irritants (perfume, soaps, urine ... ) should be avoided as much as possible.

What should you do?• change the diaper as soon as it is soiled• clean the baby’s buttocks with a wet cloth

(with water or with a oily non perfumed preparation) by gently wiping instead of rubbing (to decrease irritation)

• let the baby’s buttocks air dry as much as possible

• always protect the buttocks with a zinc oxide-based ointment (choose the product with the highest percentage: from 20% to

DIAPER RASHSrinivas

ChalagallaB.Pharm., PhD

40% is an excellent choice)• don’t tighten disposable diapers too much

and do not put plastic pants over a cloth diaper, especially during the night

What should you NOT do?:• avoid ointments with ingredients that

are allergenic, such as lanolin, or that are irritants, such as perfume

• don’t use petroleum jelly to protect the buttocks (ine� ective)

• avoid commercial disposable wet wipes and irritating soaps

• don’t use harsh soap to wash cloth diapersMost dusting powders can be used, but

use talcum powder with caution because its particles are so fi ne they can irritate a baby’s lungs. Never use sodium bicarbonate. On the other hand, cornstarch is a safe and e� ective alternative (even though it was once believed to be ine� ective).

What can be done to treat diaper rash when these preventive measures are not enough?

When these preventive measures are not enough, parents can treat diaper rash without consulting the baby’s physician. Treatment is aimed at controlling the irritation and the infection. First, change the baby’s diaper more frequently and apply a zinc oxide-based product every time. And keep following the recommendations listed above to the letter.

If the redness becomes very extensive or persists for more than 3 days, or if you are unsure of what’s best for your baby, consult your doctor who may prescribe an antifungal or anti-infl ammatory agent, as needed.

Society for Community Living enjoys support

'The money that was raised will have a direct and positive impact on the lives of adults withdisabilities.'

The Dawson Creek Society for Community Living (DCSCL) raised $15,190 during a spring fundraiser through a 50/50 draw.

The winner, Eric Derfl er, was handed a cheque for $7,595 dur-ing the annual Access Awareness BBQ at the Northern Alberta Railway Park June 11.

Marsha Cannon, director of residential services for DCSCL says the money raised will be used to fund and support exist-ing programs such as vocation-al training, health and wellness activities and art programs run by the Society.

These art programs will be showcased in October 2015 at an exhibit in the Dawson Creek Art Gallery.

“The money that was raised will have a direct and positive impact on the lives of adults with disabilities,” Cannon said.

Construction work is progressing well on the Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Area Transmission Project (DCAT).

Starting in June and throughout the summer, helicopter work will be taking place along the DCAT right-of-way. Helicopters are being used intermittently for conductor stringing between the Pine River area and Dawson Creek Substation.

Please note that helicopter work is weather dependent, so all dates are approximate.

BC Hydro and its contractors have obtained the necessary permits and permissions, and will be in compliance with Transport Canada requirements.

Dawson Creek celebrated its fi rst Canadian Multicultural-ism Day Saturday, and it was a melting pot in more ways than one.

A stretch of road in down-town Dawson Creek was closed June 27 for a car free day to cel-ebrate the Canadian mosaic.

Despite the sweltering heat, around 500 people showed up for music, dancing, food and art.

“We’re becoming a more multicultural communi-ty, so we thought we would do something,” said orga-nizer Jennifer Meis of the

Dawson Creek Literacy society.

Events included Aboriginal drumming and dances, tai chi, yoga, an arts walk and hospital bed races. Among the organiz-ers were the South Peace Com-munity Arts Council, Tourism Dawson Creek, the Dawson Creek Art Gallery and the DC Family Friendly Events Com-mittee.

The literacy society runs the Lake View Learning Cen-tre, which offers a number of services to new immigrants including english as a second language instruction, referrals

for immigration assistance and citizenship classes.

“We’re kind of the fi rst stop for a lot of immigrants, so rec-ognizing they’re here and that

we’re happy they’re here is a step in making new immigrants feel welcome,” Meis said.

Meis hopes to reprise the event next year, but said orga-

nizers would likely look at do-ing it in a park instead of on scorching pavement, which she said led some people to retire early.

WE DROVE TO EAGLESHAM, AB TO THE HOMESTEAD AND IN AN OLD

SHED SAT A MODEL “T” TRUCK THAT WAS COVERED IN

DUST AND THE MICE HAD MOVED IN

Four years ago I was on my computer one night and went on a site P.O.F. (Plenty of Fords, LOL). I was chatting with a lady in Alberta and she went on to tell me of her dads old truck. I got interested in this truck and she offered to show it to me.

We drove to Eaglesham, AB to the homestead and in an old shed sat a Model “T” truck that was covered in dust and the mice had moved in!

Next I went and visited the owner in the Fairview Care Home. A very nice man by the name of Gordon Donaldson. Gordon told me how he started gathering

parts around Alberta 18 years prior, and it all started with one-third of a body!

For 18 years he gathered old parts of Model “T”s and finally put together a truck that ran!

Gordon was very proud of his truck and showed in local Alberta parades and also used it for weddings to drive Brides and Grooms around.

Once Gordon got to know me and confirmed that I would not just re-sell his truck, he agreed to sell it to me.

I was very excited to continue his project and enjoy

the truck!Unfortunately, only two weeks after

I bought the Model “T” truck from Gordon, he passed in his sleep.

I was thankful for his knowledge sharing of his work on the “T”.

Since then, I have rebuilt the motor, transmission, water pump and put a re-built Holley carb, and just got a good radiator from a guy in southern

BC.I still have some body work to do and

a few other items, but all small things.Both my daughter and friends enjoy

Two South Peace schools avoid the chopping block

For Celina Raaen, a parent in Rolla whose three small children will be com-ing of school age soon, the news that Rolla Discovery School would not be closing came as a relief.

"It's one less thing to worry about," Raaen said, who has been raising mon-ey for busing to the rural school. "Now our fundraising can be more focused. If [companies] hear that the school is up for closure they say 'why should we give money?' But [with this news] the fund-raising can be more successful."

Rolla Discovery School and McLeod Elementary survived a Board of Educa-tion review. The automatic review is trig-gered for any school in School District 59 (SD 59) with a population under 40.

McLeod Elementary had an enrol-ment of 35 students at the end of the school year, while Rolla had 34 students.

McLeod Elementary and Rolla Discov-ery School were the only two schools that

fell in the category this year. Ultimately the board decided that the

cost to the community from closing the schools would outweigh any benefi ts gained from saving $123,000.

“If we’re closing a school, which is a huge emotional, and in some cases dev-astating, event for a community, you don’t want to do it just because their numbers are under 40,” SD 59 Superintendent Leslie Lambie explained. “To save [that much] that is not going to rescue any-thing. It’s not real necessary at this point.”

At McLeod Elementary, where some students from as far away as East Pine at-tend, about $32,000 would be saved, less than one teacher’s salary.

Of that $32,000, $8,000 would be saved in gas from the elimination of the bus route. The savings would evaporate when extra kilometers are added to bussing in students from there to other schools like Devereaux Elementary, the Board of Edu-cation heard from SD 59 Secretary Trea-surer Melissa Panoulias.

Enrollment at McLeod Elementary

is expected to drop to 32 by the 2020/21 school year.

However, Lambie admitted that the numbers are simply a “best guess.”

Closing the Rolla Discovery School would result in a savings of $94,000 for the School District, but they are still wary of shutting it down.

Because it is a school of choice — meaning parents can choose to take their kids instead of defaulting to the school in their catchment — Rolla’s population is very unpredictable.

The School District’s best guess as to where it will be by 2020/21 lands them at an enrolment of 20.

Because SD 59 is not obligated to bus students to schools outside their catchment areas, Raaen has raised over $30,000 over the last two years to fund a bus to bring students from Dawson Creek to Rolla.

While explaining the decision not to close the two schools — for now — Lam-bie warned that the issue is bound to be something that will come up again.

“The only thing I would caution the Board on is that at some point, you get so small that you are not able to provide a quality education,” Lambie said.

“At some point down the road we may [reevaluate] our ability to provide a qual-ity education [at these schools].”

After review, McLeod Elementary and Rolla live to see another year

Janice Mary DemidoffJanice Mary Demidoff passed away June 19, 2015 in Dawson Creek, British

Columbia at the age of 79. She was born July 15, 1935 in Lashburn, Saskatchewan to David and Helen Mitchell. Janice grew up with a love of music, dance, and a compassionate, caring nature that led her to a long career in nursing. In 1964, Janice married Robert Demidoff. Together, they had three children, James, Andrea, and Sonja. Throughout her life, Janice was known for her love of animals, but most especially, her love of people. Janice was supportive and encouraging, always helping others and leaving a lasting impact on all those around her.

Janice will be sadly missed by her husband, Bob, her childrenJames (Tammy) Demidoff, Andrea Eastman (David Brown), and Sonja (Brian) Halliday, and grandchildren Andrew, Alec, and Aaron Demidoff, Logan and Tyrel Halliday, and Julianne and Jessica Eastman. “We love you as high as the sky and as deep as the ocean.”

A memorial service was held June 24, 2015 at Bergeron’s Funeral Chapel, offi ciated by Reverend Marilyn Carroll. Expressions of sympathy may be made to theAlzheimer Society Peace Region Resource Centre, PO Box 565, Dawson Creek,British Columbia V1G 3T0

Ruth Dorothy Evelyn Gies (née Campbell), resident of Dawson Creek, passed away June 28, 2015 at the age of 85. Ruth was born February 22, 1930 in Amherstberg Ontario; she was the last survivor of six children born to Henry and Agnes Campbell of Parry Sound, Ontario.

Ruth is remembered by many in Dawson Creek for living at and managing Rotary Village on 13th Street for many years. Early in life, Ruth worked at Kaufman Footwear in Kitchener for nearly 30 years, and later owned and operated a restaurant in Walton, Ontario. During her early years, Ruth loved dancing with her friends and cousins while living in

Parry Sound, Ontario. Late in life, Ruth loved to cross stitch pictures of her grand and great-grandchildren, as well as going for tea with her friends from the Village. She was a very private and strong woman who survived cancer, braved through her treatments, and later knee replacement surgery. Throughout her life, Ruth traveled numerous times as she and Richard made several moves across Canada between Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario. Once she retired in the mid 1990’s from Rotary Village, she and Richard moved to Arras next door to their son Rick and family, where they would live for close to 17 years.

Ruth and Richard moved to Kelowna for a short stay where Ruth loved going to the Legion with newfound friends for dinners, however due to certain ailments, was only able to watch the dancers enjoy themselves. In the fall of 2013, they moved back toDawson Creek and later back to her home at Rotary Village where she lived until her passing.

Ruth is survived by her husband Richard Gies in their 67th year of marriage, children Kathleen (late William Schiedel), Rick (Linda), Lori-Ann (Darren Schweitzer),8 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren.

A wife, mom, Gramma, friend, and acquaintance, Ruth will be remembered for her love of life, family, and friends. To those of us that loved her the most, her time here was too short. Our family would like to take this opportunity to thank all our mother’s many family and friends for their support, particularly her care givers during her eight week stay in the Dawson Creek hospital until her passing.

At Ruth’s request, there will be no funeral service.Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd.

Bernice Luella Crum was born June 3, 1921 in Rolla, the third child of Roy and Lena Crum.

They were living at the Rolla Landing on the Peace River at that time. They later moved to Pouce Coupe where Roy managed the hotel. Mom’s dad died when she was six, so Gramma and fi ve kids moved back to South Dawson to a quarter of land Roy

had homesteaded, where Mom grew up and went to school. She married Bob Tucker on Christmas Eve in 1940. They moved to the Anderson quarter next to Gramma’s when I was three. Our mom was little, but she was mighty! The house, a small log house had two bedrooms and imagine fi ve Tucker kids, always a dog and two cats, no electricity, a water barrel for water, and mom never missed a beat. She could knit a pair of mitts in an evening for us kids. Our dad was very musical so we grew up singing and dancing in the few feet of fl oor space left. Mom was an unbelievable cook. She could make a meal out of very little and we always had dessert. Sometimes Rogers Golden Syrup out of the gallon can on thick slices of bread. Mom and Dad moved to town when Mom was 60. They took up curling and golfi ng, and traveling in a small truck and camper. Mom did other trips with her friend Eileen Knapp to Mexico and various other places. Mom was a positive person with a “cup half full not half empty” attitude. When Dad died Mom lost some of her spunk, but she still managed on her own until she fell and broke her hip in March.

We are forever grateful to the family and friends at Heritage Heights for their love and patience with our Mom. We would also thank each and every one of you for your support and thoughts through these last diffi cult months.

Thank you.The Tucker kidsA memorial service was held Thursday, June 25, 2015 at

had homesteaded, where Mom grew up and went to school. She married Bob Tucker on Christmas Eve in 1940. They moved to the Anderson quarter next to Gramma’s when I was three. Our mom was little, but she was mighty! The house, a small log house had two bedrooms and imagine fi ve Tucker kids, always a dog and two cats, no electricity, a water barrel for water, and mom never missed a beat. She could knit a pair of mitts in an evening for us kids. Our dad was very musical so we grew up singing and dancing in the few feet of fl oor space left. Mom was an unbelievable cook. She could make a meal out of very little and we always had dessert. Sometimes Rogers Golden Syrup out of the gallon can on thick slices of bread. Mom and Dad moved to town when Mom was 60. They took up curling and golfi ng, and traveling in a small truck and camper. Mom did other trips with her friend Eileen Knapp to Mexico and various other places. Mom was a positive person with a “cup half full not half empty” attitude. When Dad died Mom lost some of her spunk, but she still managed on her own until she fell and broke her hip in March.

We are forever grateful to the family and friends at Heritage Heights for their love and patience with our Mom. We would also thank each and every one of you for your support and thoughts through these last diffi cult months.

Thank you.The Tucker kidsA memorial service was held Thursday, June 25, 2015 at

Mable Hazel Caroline Brummund was born in Carruthers, Saskatchewan, August 18, 1933, to Ernest and Ella Brummund, the youngest of 6 children. She grew up on a small family farm and attended school to grade 8 and then worked as a mother’s helper. When she was about 20, her brother Dave suggested she come to the Dawson Creek area. Mable met Karl Wolf, the love of her life, and they were married in 1957. Children born in the next 9 years included Karen, Elaine, Norma, Mona, Eileen, Eric and Gorden.

In all things Mable and Karl were a team, working together to establish and maintain a registered purebred swine herd while raising their family.Later on, Karl sold portable sawmills, Mable travelling to many locations with him. Mable had a garden “the size of a football fi eld,” hands that were always working and a spirit that never gave up. She supported her children in all their activities, including school, 4-H and sports.

When Karl passed away in 1989 Mable found it hard, but with her typical ”can do” attitude she adjusted to the life changes and moved to town. She was involved in many organizations and activities including TOPS, the Canadian Cancer Society, the Hospital Auxiliary, and the Seniors Association. Mable was one of the original Well-Seasoned Cooks, who began the lunches at the Senior’s Hall many years ago. Mable travelled many places competing in the Senior’s Games and also travelled with her friends to Graceland, PEI, and Alaska. She went to Disneyland with some of the family and went on every ride her grandchildren went on, including the roller coaster.

Family was one of the most important thing in Mable’s life. She adored her11 grandchildren and looked forward to her 7 great-grandchildren coming over to visit, although not at the same time. Whether she was watching them compete in sports or arts performances, going camping or making cookies and devilled eggs, she considered it time well spent. Mable loved to garden and cook. Everyone was welcome at her table and the door to her home was always open to those who chose to visit her. They were greeted with her wide welcoming smile and often went home with gifts of baking or jam she had made.

In 2009, Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and her family saw it was now time to help Mom just as she’d always been our help. Mom was forthright about her diagnosis and was a great example of how to handle it with grace. Mom moved in with Eric and Deb before it became necessary for her to move to long term care atRotary Manor. Through it all, as hard as the struggle was at times, Mom kept her smile, the sparkle in her eye, her mischievous sense of humor and her drive to help. She is free and we will miss her.

A funeral service was held June 26, 2015 at Bergeron’s Funeral Chapel, offi ciated by Pastor Cory Lizotte.

Expressions of sympathy in memory of Mable may be made by donation to the Alzheimers Society of BC, #300-828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1E2
