Did you know young female cats can get pregnant before 6 months of age. Many people wait too long to have their cats spayed or neutered, thinking they are still just kittens.Before they know it, they have an unwanted litter on their hands.

For Rae Croteau Jr., there was no magic recipe or secret strategy when he broke the two-year-old track record in Dawson Creek dur-ing day three of Battle of the North.

Finishing in an impressive time of 1:12.71, 85 one hundredths of a second ahead of the old record held by Kirk Sutherland, Croteau Jr. explained it was just a strong run by his team of horses who he knew was capable of going fast in Dawson Creek.

“This new combination, I used them the second night and that

was their first trip together,” he said on Saturday. “We ran second day money and then last night they just went in there and they were just sharp and keen and re-ally ready. They had had five or six days off, so usually they are a bit more keen and sharp and ready to rock the second time and they showed it.”

He compared the team that ran the track record at the 93rd edition of the Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede to one that he raced with several years ago, a team that is still pictured on his horse trailer today.

“Eight years ago we had a team of horses similar to these ones,” he said. “Very dominant, could go off pretty much any barrel. They were a threat didn’t matter which bar-rel you went off or who you were hooked with. They just always pretty much the one to beat.”

Croteau Jr. set the new mark from barrel four in the sixth heat to take the day money. The 16-year veteran added that it was also some pristine track conditions

that helped him cruise to the re-cord.

“The track was hard, it dried out from the previous night’s rain,” he said. “I’ve always ran better on a faster track— something a little harder, not a muddy, heavy track. My horses don’t seem to like it. For the most part you need to get the rail on this type of track and get out in front. We’ve been lucky, we had the right draw.”

The third generation chuck-wagon driver has been at the reins since he was 16 and has set re-cords all across Canada, but said his race in Dawson Creek ranks up there with some of his best races at the GMC Rangeland Derby at the Calgary Stampede.

“I didn’t expect a track record, but we’re more than happy to run it obviously,” Croteau Jr., who has raced in Dawson Creek for the last ten years. “Each track is a bit dif-ferent.”

Sunday’s Dash for Cash results were not available at press time.

Local NewsDeBolt cleans up in Dawson Creek

A truck wasn’t enough for Western Chuckwagon Association driver Sean DeBolt, as the three-time circuit cham-pion wrapped up his year with a Dash for Dash win at the 93rd Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede in front of a jam-packed grandstand.

DeBolt won his third WCA Dash For Cash in Dawson Creek to the tune of $7,500 sponsored by the Dawson Creek Exhibition Association and was so dom-inant he could be seen looking back at the rest of the pack as he crossed the fin-ish line on final heat on Sunday. He won the race by just under two seconds in a time of 1:15.58, ahead of second place Doug Green who finished in 1:17.31.

In summary of the weeklong perfor-mance, DeBolt noted that it had been decent, and as for the full season the

Dawson Creek win put a tidy bow on the summer.

“The week has been okay, we have had a few good runs, a few sloppier runs. But it’s been okay,” said the mod-est three-time WCA champion who bested 20 other drivers overall in the four-day event. “Oh yeah, it’s been a long summer, every point, every day counts so it’s not just this show. It start-ed at the end of May and it wrapped up this weekend.”

The tidy bow included a win in his first dash of the season and the last in Dawson Creek.

“It started off strong in Grande Prairie at the Stompede, I won the dash there and kind of started out on the right foot and built from there,” he said. “Just steady, may not have won the most rac-es for the year but when you run steady and hard all the time it kind of pays off in the long run.”

One of the most successful drivers to ever race in the WCA, DeBolt said his sustained success over the last several years was based mostly on his horses.

“Keeping the horses sound and healthy,” he said. “Just wanting to be here, we take a lot of time with our horses and getting new ones started ev-ery year is the key. You can’t just rely on the old ones or eventually they get tired and need to be retired— so we are al-ways trying to inject new blood, I guess it seems to be working.”

As to what has separated him from the other competitors since he started his championship reign three years ago,

well, that’s a little bit tougher question to answer.

“Consistency, probably,” DeBolt said after brief pause trying to find the words to describe his winning streak.

“Try to be as consistent as possible not just with the driving but when you are working with the horses, trying to get them used to the way you want things to run and they all seem to run pretty well.”

Local News Two years for clothing store owner-turned coke dealer

for drug sales that took place in 2009 and 2010. Justice Robert Jenkins sentenced Soares to two years on July 16, according to court transcripts.

Eleven people, including Soares, were ar-rested in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek in 2010 after a seven-month investigation.

In late 2009 and early 2010, Soares bro-kered at least three cocaine deals between an associate and two undercover officers identi-fied in court documents as Sgt. K and Sgt. D. The transactions ranged from a few ounces to a pound valued at $27,000.

The officers first met with Soares at his store in Dawson Creek, which was not identi-fied by name in court documents. Soares be-gan operating the store after an injury made it impossible for him to continue work in the oil patch.

In November 2009, the two under-cover officers went with Soares to the now-closed Elbows nightclub. According to court documents, Sgt. K asked Soares if he could “hook [him] up with an 8-ball” — an eighth-ounce of cocaine. Soares introduced the un-dercover officer to Anthony Loeppky, who was later deemed the “principal” offender in the investigation.

“The transaction took place following a nod by Mr. Soares to Anthony which I found indicated that it was OK for Anthony to sell Sgt. K some cocaine,” the judge said.

Another transaction followed in December at a rural area near Pouce Coupe, where Sgt. K traded a “stolen” snowmobile to Soares for two ounces of cocaine. Months later, Soares and an associate who later pleaded guilty sold the undercover officer a pound of cocaine in a restaurant parking lot.

“This transaction involved Sgt. K deliver-ing $27,000 in cash, which he handed over to Mr. Soares in two money belts which Mr. Soares in turn handed to [Terry] Schaffer in exchange for a pound of cocaine which Mr. Schaffer took from a briefcase and gave to Sgt. K,” the transcript reads.

Soares now lives in Maple Ridge, and was sentenced in New Westminster. His lawyer noted he has renounced criminal life and is working construction to support his wife and three children.

During sentencing, the Crown argued Soares should face five-and-a-half years based on evidence he was a “mid- to high-level traf-ficker in cocaine” at the time. The defence claimed Soares was “no more than a broker with contacts” and not a high-level player in the drug trade. His lawyer argued for a sen-tence of just under two years to be served in the community.

The judge concluded Soares had been a mid- to high-level trafficker, sentencing him to two years.


Aphthous ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small lesions (usually 1 to 2 mm in diameter) that appear on the inner surface of the cheeks and lips, on or under the tongue, and, more rarely, on the gums or palate. They are small, crater-like sores that are white or yellowish in colour, surrounded by a red border. Canker sores are more prevalent in women, individuals under the age of 40 years, Caucasians and non-smokers. They are not contagious.

There are various types of canker sores:CausesSimple canker soresThese sores are usually the result of accidental

trauma, tend to appear only one at a time, and heal spontaneously within 7 to 14 days. Some simple canker sores can be very large (in excess of 1 cm in diameter). They are often accompanied by fever and may leave a scar. These types of sores are much more bothersome and take longer to heal.

Recurrent canker soresFive and even up to 10 of these ulcers can

develop at one time throughout the mouth. Although they share the same characteristics as simple canker sores, a number of factors can play a role in triggering an outbreak. Factors that promote recurrence may be linked to heredity, stress, immunity and hormonal changes in women.

Herpetiform ulcersSome diseases produce aphthous ulcers that

are found not only in the mouth, but on the genitals, in the eyes and on the skin. Individuals who develop recurrent canker sores on more than one area of the body should consult a doctor.

There are many factors thought to promote the development of canker sores:• Allergies or sensitivity to certain foods such as

citrus, pineapple, chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, spicy foods, vinegar, acidic foods, etc. (varies from one person to another)

• Injury or irritation (aggressive teeth brushing, dental appliances, dentures, etc.)

Canker SoresSrinivas

ChalagallaB.Pharm., PhD

• Folic acid, iron and/or vitamin 812 defi ciency• Quitting smoking• Hormonal changes (puberty, pregnancy,

menopause, menstrual cycle)• Fatigue, stress• Symptoms associated with certain diseases

(diabetes, Behcet’s disease, in� ammatory bowel diseases) or viral infections (HIV, varicella, zona)SymptomsCanker sores can be uncomfortable and

extremely painful, particularly when eating. Some also experience a burning or tingling sensation 24 hours before the sore becomes visible.

TreatmentCanker sores may take 10 to 20 days to heal,

while large ulcers can take up to 2 months. If a sore does not heal after a few weeks, if you have them on more than one part of your body, or if they reoccur very frequently, it is important that you see a doctor. You should also see a doctor if you have a canker sore and develop fever, red eyes, joint pain or diarrhea (as it may be indicative of another disease).

To alleviate the pain associated with canker sores, try to avoid eating foods that are hard (ex: toast, chips, nuts), acidic (ex: citrus, soft drinks), irritating (ex: chocolate, co� ee, alcohol), and either very salty or very spicy. Melting an ice cube on the ulcer may provide some relief. To promote healing, you can also prepare a homemade solution to gargle with, 4 times a day: 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 250 ml of water. Treatment mainly consists in alleviating the pain. That said, prescription and over-the-counter mouthwash, creams and ointments are available. Speak to your pharmacist, as he or she will be able to advise you on the product best suited for your particular needs.

If you ever get lost and stuck in the woods, Chai-anne Ellis would be a great person to have by your side.

The Grade 9 Central Campus student, who is a member of the local 353 Mile Zero Air Cadet Squad-ron, is set to complete her Basic Survival Course later this summer.

Ellis was selected from a group of cadets attending camp at the Albert Head Cadet Training Centre in Vic-toria, B.C.

Ellis says her main take away was learning the Pat-tern of Survival, a priority list of what to do when you find yourself lost.

First there is first aid. Then, finding shelter, setting up signals, and finding sources of water and food. If

that doesn’t work, take a hike and relocate to find a new place — then start again from the beginning.

“Lots of people get mixed up and think water has to be first. That’s how I was be-fore,” Ellis said.

“But it was kind of common sense af-ter I got told that. Most people don’t real-ize that you can survive without water for three days and for three weeks without food.”

The three-week course includes build-ing improvised shelters, gathering food and water, navigation training, and the psychology of survival and safety.

An upcoming three-day simulated sur-vival situation in Nanoose Bay north of

Nanaimo will be a chance for Ellis to put her new skills into action with other cadets.

More than 3,400 sea, army and air cadets are par-ticipating in summer training activities across B.C. Other cadets have had the opportunity to travel across the country and even overseas.

“Cadets is a chance to meet new people, learn new things and work well with others,” Ellis said.

“I used to be shy, but cadets opened me up and gave me a backbone. I like the way the information is delivered because it’s very straight forward.”

Two crosswalks top the list of a trio of new highway safety improvement proj-ects that South Peace MLA Mike Bernier announced on Tuesday.

The crosswalk at 112th Avenue and 8th Street, by the Safeway, will get an overhead light to warn drivers that pe-destrians are crossing.

A little further down the road, the in-tersection at 103 Avenue and 8th street will get a crosswalk counter, which will count down how much time pedestri-ans have left to safely cross the word be-fore the light changes.

These two projects will go to tender immediately and should be completed by the fall.

Bernier noted that since the city ex-perienced a tragic hit and run in March,

city council and residents have been coming to him with ideas on how to im-prove crosswalk safety in the city.

“I really wanted to highlight the Safe-way crosswalk,” Bernier said.

“That [one] has always been prob-lematic. It has overhead signs but it’s not lit and so, people have been asking for that.”

The crosswalk counter will be in-stalled as a pilot project to see how resi-dents respond.

“That intersection sees a lot of traffi c, but you also have a lot of people walk-ing to the Co-op and we’ve had a lot of instances where someone is halfway across and the light turns on them. The whole point of the counter is so you can stand on the curb and say, I’m not going to make it, I’ll wait.”

Local News

Continued from Page 7Dangerous Goods Route also

gets a major upgrade

The largest upgrade announced Tuesday will in-clude a complete redesign of the intersection where the Dangerous Goods Route (DGR) meets the Alaska Highway by the Louisiana Pacific mill.

Engineering work will be done on that project this summer and construction should begin next spring, according to Bernier.

Gary McLeod, business manager for the Northern

BC Truckers Association brought the matter to Ber-nier’s attention last November.

The current intersection has no lights. Trucks are required to cross two lanes of traffic to continue on the DGR around town and that can sometimes lead to a lineup of trucks waiting to cross the highway.

“You get all the truck traffic going to the DGR, which is where we are trying to get then to go,” Bernier said. “But then they get to the highway and sometimes you can have half a dozen to ten trucks lined up waiting.”

It’s a problematic situation for truckers, McLeod added.

“You’ve got to cross two lanes of traffic to get out there,” he said. “It’s been a very busy intersection and we felt that it was very dangerous. I’m glad they’ve ad-dressed it.”

Both projects are included in the approximately $48 million in upgrades announced by the provincial gov-ernment for Peace River South highways and roads.

The breakdown for the total cost of the above Daw-son Creek projects was not available.

In the last 13 years coming to Dawson Creek with the World Professional Chuckwagon As-sociation, Luke Tournier has al-ways fi nished with a set of horses or two ahead of him.

On Sunday in the Joe Loomis Trucking WPCA Dash for Cash, Tournier turned his bad luck in Dawson Creek into a $15,000 payday and after years of com-ing up short in the Battle of the North, he was happy to break the streak.

“We usually have bad Dawson runs so it feels pretty good,” he said Sunday after collecting his cheque and the keys to his brand new GMC Sierra Truck.

“To fi nally come and win it after having some brutal ones, yeah it feels good.”

Tournier pulled out a narrow 55 one-hundredths of a second victory over newly minted track record holder Rae Corteau Jr. to wrap up another edition of the Dawson Creek Exhibition and Stampede.

The crowd cheered wildly throughout the fi ve days of rac-ing and saved their best ovation for last on Sunday. That’s just the way it’s always been according to veteran chuckwagon announcer Les McIntyre.

“You know it’s their fall fair, everyone comes to town off the farm or off the drilling rig or from whatever business they are in-volved in. It’s time to have a good time because the snowfl akes aren’t far away,” he said with a laugh. “It’s a family show they have a lot of things for everybody here.”

Tournier went on the explain that it all seemed to come to-gether at the right time at the Battle of the North after only be-ing “OK” all week long.

“It’s been a fun week, we just stayed clean and relatively fast,” Tournier said, despite fi nishing with a four-day aggregate time of 5:03.88 just behind aggregate winner Rae Croteau Jr.

In the penalty free fi nal heat on Sunday evening where he posted a blistering time of 1:13.65, Tournier gave all the

credit to his horses, from the mo-ment he rolled up to the practice turn and let the team do all the work from there on out.

“During the practice turn I kind of just let them do what they wanted and they worked,” he said. “So I thought I was just going to do the same thing dur-ing the race, the horses did it all. I didn’t do much driving, I just let them go where they wanted and they didn’t disappoint.”

The 11-time major title win-ner on the WPCA tour was also quick to credit the second part of his team, outriders Chance Flad and Quaid Tournier who stead-ied some feisty horses in the win.

“We had to kind of play around with outriding horses, and one is kind of chargy and we tried one up on leaders,” Luke said. “First time ever holding leaders on that outriding horse and we dodged a bullet. Chance had a chargy outriding horse and he handled it perfectly so full marks to those guys.”

The veteran driver may have been considered a long-shot heading into the Dash For Cash Sunday, coming up against plen-ty of experience in the fi nal heat in Dawson Creek, Croteau Jr. to his right on barrel one, defend-ing Battle of the North Cham-pion Kirk Sutherland on barrel four and Calgary Stampede Kurt Bensmiller also in the mix.

“Oh it’s better than losing. It’s great, you don’t count anyone out,” Tournier said. “I fi gured I had a shot, there are some tough wagons but usually your battles are within your head, you have to yet the horses work and we managed to do that and I’m re-ally proud of them.”

Jess Willard was named the Kenn Borek Memorial Most Sportsmanlike Driver award winner for the weekend and Kirk Sutherland picked up the Her-man Flad Memorial heat win on Saturday driving Jerry Bremner’s outfi t.

The WPCA will wrap up their season with the Battle of the Rockies in Rocky Mountain House, Alta. at the end of the month.
