The Dawson Creek Art Gallery could close for up to three months this summer, but art lovers fear not — its art will still be on display in the city.
Gallery Curator Kit Fast confirmed that the lobby of the Calvin Kruk Centre for the Arts would serve as a temporary exhibition space during the renovations, if needed.
The tricky part however, will be finding a spot for the gallery’s gift shop during peak tourism season, a time when local artists benefit the most from sales in the shop.
Unless a safety tunnel from the parking lot to the entrance can be arranged, the gift shop will have to close, Operations Manager Alana Hall told Alaska Highway News.
The closure may be a necessary evil, the result of what the South Peace Art Society, the organization in charge of the gallery, feels is much needed work to the exterior of the art gallery and annex buildings.
The work on the building, a proposed $1.4 million refurbishment project that was in the city’s budget approved last week, will be go-ing out to tender soon, according to Dawson Creek’s Deputy Director of Community Ser-vices Duncan Redfearn. It will then be open for bids for a minimum of three weeks, he said.
The goal is to have it completed by the end of September.
It would add another 50 years to the build-
ing’s lifespan, but could amount to a huge fi-nancial hit for the gallery.
The SPAS estimates that cost at $50,000, or about 35 per cent of annual gift shop rev-enues and 13 per cent of annual income, as closing would affect the society’s three main sources of revenue: gift shop sales, the sale of local art and summer art classes.
“Our classes will be held at the O’Brien Centre,” Fast said. “We currently lease those classrooms from the city. So [exhibits and classes] will be taken care of.”
As for the gift shop, they could bring in a temporary trailer for the parking lot, but Hall explained that it will be up to the contractor and city to decide if that goes ahead.
“The city has somewhat given us permis-sion to [put the trailer in] but it depends on the contractor who ultimately gets the bid,” Hall said. “So there is a lot of waiting [to find out] how much space they will need them-selves in the parking lot. As well, we don’t know what safety measures they want to take.”
Hall said the loss of revenue would be a huge blow.
“It’s very important to keep the gallery fis-cally healthy,” she said. “Being a registered charity, it really does affect us. As you know, oil and gas is in a downturn, so corporate do-nations are few and far between. That affects the local economy, people aren’t spending as much,” but she added, “the tourists are.”
The repaint and refurbishment project in-cludes four buildings: the art gallery, its at-

tached annex and two smaller buildings in front of the gallery. When the work is finished, the building will look virtually
identical to the way it does now.Though the majority of the refurbishment project involves
upgrades to the exterior of the building, a structural engineer will be brought in to examine the foundation once all the
boards are removed and it is exposed. “It’s a moment of opportunity ... to take a look in some of
the areas that aren’t really accessible [otherwise],” Redfearn told Alaska Highway News in March. “We may not end up doing anything,” he added, but it’s worth taking a look. [email protected]
It was optimistic for Daw-son Creek Minor Baseball to try and hit the field in early May, a plan that was derailed by snow and colder weather when the month began.
But last week the league finally got going, and with about 80 players hitting the
field league vice president Dave Hamilton is optimistic about what the season holds.
“We partnered up with [South Peace Junior Soccer]; we took part in their regis-tration days. So we got some spill over from them,” he said. “Registration went well. Num-bers are about the same as they were last year. Our num-bers in the younger groups
are looking very strong.”That younger group is
from the ages of 5-9 in what is called the “Rally Cap” di-vision. With the encourag-ing turnout of younger kids, Hamilton hopes the league can start developing a strong talent pool as kids grow their skills.
“Yeah, you bet,” he said about how important it is to get kids started early. “That’s what I recommend is get-ting involved early because it is hard to hone your skills in baseball. So the earlier you can start the better you are going to be and the quicker your skills are going to de-velop.”
The younger age group will work on mostly basic skills throughout the May and June season and Hamilton believes having fun will be the key to seeing kids return next year.
“Just throwing and catch-ing,” he said. “And making some contact with the ball whether it be off a tee or some soft pitches from an adult… at the end of the day having fun, we want to make sure they are having fun when they get to the field or we are going to lose them.”
The league also features a mosquito team (10-11 year olds), a pewee team (12-13) and a bantam team (13-14).
The plan for those kids is to play some exhibition games Grande Prairie on May 30. Be-yond that DC Minor ball will also look to host their own tournament with the mosqui-to, pewee and bantam kids on June 13-14 and will travel to Grande Prairie for a tourna-ment the following weekend.
“We went last year and it was a lot of fun,” Hamilton said. “When we started last week [we told the kids], lets gear up for this tournament,

To many people in our culture. tanned skin is a symbol of health. Ironically, however, there’s nothing healthy about tanned skin. Repeated exposures to UV radiation destroy the skin’s elastic � bre and lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and injury to small blood vessels, ageing the skin prematurely. In addition, the sun can cause cancer of the skin.
There are no safe ways to tan. Gradual tanning o� ers some protection against sunburns, but it never protects against the cumulative and negative e� ects of the sun on your skin. Even those who tan easily should protect themselves from the sun’s rays. The negative impact of tanning lasts much longer than the temporary pain associated with sunburns. Your skin has a memory: it never forgets the e� ect of the sun’s rays (ultraviolet (UV) radiation).
Not all sunrays are equalThere are two types of sunrays that you need
protection from: UVB and UVA.The labels of UVB sunscreen products include
a sun protection factor (SPF) number. The SPF is an indication of the relative amount of time during which you can remain in the sun with the sunscreen without getting a sunburn caused by UVB rays: the higher the factor the greater the protection.
UVA rays are not the principal cause of sunburns, but they do damage the elastic tissue of the skin while playing a role in skin cancer. There is no standard for de� ning protection against UVA rays, so look for products containing re� ective products that act on all types of UV rays (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) or substances that speci� cally absorb UVA rays:• avobenzone (Parsol 1789™’)• terephtalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid
Sun safety• Limit sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm.
when the sun’s rays are at their peak.• Limit sunning during the fi rst few days in the
tropics or in high altitudes.• Protect your eyes in the sun since the sun can
induce cataracts. Wear good-quality sunglasses

with UV protection, particularly in situations where there are large re� ective surfaces (e.g., ski slopes ).
• Protect your skin in the sun with clothing: wear a hat, long sleeves, and long pants made of tightly woven fabric.
• Don’t sleep in the sun to avoid a very painful awakening ...
• Always wear sunscreen in the sun - and don’t forget to cover bald spots!
• After sunning, apply a generous amount of hydrating cream all over your body.
Sunscreen tips• Always use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or
more.• The best sunscreens also protect against UVA
rays. To make sure of it, choose a sunscreen having the Canadian Dermatology Association logo or ingredients quoted previously.
• Use water-resistant formulas.• Apply the sunscreen at least 30 minutes
before your exposure to the sun to enable it to penetrate the skin and repeat application 20 minutes after the exposure to ensure maximum protection.
• Apply a generous amount of sunscreen: applying a thinner layer reduces the e� ectiveness of the product considerably. A 100 mL bottle, when used properly, will only cover your entire body 3 times.
• Repeat the application every 2 hours and after swimming. This is particularly important for children who spend long periods of time playing in the water.
• The eff ectiveness of sunscreens is aff ected by storage conditions: replenish your supply every year and don’t leave the bottle of sunscreen in the sun.
• Sunscreens should not be used to increase the length of your exposure to the sun, but to protect the areas of your body that are not covered by clothing.

Minor Baseball finding hits Dawson Creek
FILE PHOTOLast summer, 25 kids hit the baseball diamonds in Dawson Creek for a pitching clinic where former Major League pitcher Jerry Nyman shared his knowledge.
lets start working on some things, be-cause we noticed these are the things we noticed we were lacking last year.”
The vice president, who has been with the league for going on five years said in those age groups especially he has seen improvement from year to year and even over the course of the short season.
“I actually noticed that last night,” Hamilton said on Wednesday about improvement. “And I mentioned it to the other coaches last night, I found that the mosquito group, your 10 and 11-year-olds, I think just because they got physically stronger over the past year, their skills have really improved over the last year as far as catching and throwing.”
Hamilton also indicated the league is on a strong course at the current time, but would like to eventually see it grow strong enough the have league
play within Dawson Creek. Right now the option is to play in a
Grande Prairie league, an idea that is simply not plausible for working fami-lies in the area.
“Ideally if we could have three teams in each division we could have a house league,” Hamilton noted while adding that the only way such an idea would be possible if the league more than doubled in size.
“At the end of June you are eager to extend the ball season because you can see the kids are really getting into a good rhythm and a groove, but then school ends and summer holidays hit and the numbers drop off [a little bit].”

The NPSS/DCSS Roughnecks boys rugby team challenged a strong Grande Prairie Com-posite High School team last week and came out with a narrow 19-14 win.
In the playoff rematch on Wednesday at NPSS, the home team found themselves on the wrong side of a 34-17 game in Peace High School Rugby action.
They failed to make the championship game this year and get some redemption from a missed appearance due to the B.C. teachers’ strike last year.
This season was a completely different squad
and head coach Clayton Woodruff noted after the loss he saw a lot of growth from the team this year, including having several players who weren’t even in high school step up and play in the absence of a few key players.
“It was a good effort, a really good effort,” Woodruff said. “We had to start some kids that are not even in high school today. They did the best that they could. They played 60 minutes of rugby— we had some moments where we shone there, but just didn’t quite have the depth today.”
The home side did indeed start out slow, fall-ing behind 15-0 in the early moments before Paul Greschner got the Roughnecks on the scoreboard just before halftime.
Shortly after halftime the NPSS/DCSS squad

Tough playoff loss for Roughnecksbrought the game within one try, but quickly found themselves trailing 22-10 in the third quarter.
“I think we were possible just a bit fitter,” Woodruff said about the comeback effort. “I’ve been running them really hard and the second half we had maybe a bit more energy.”
After Ty Woodruff brought the home side back
within seven, the Warriors pulled away with two tries to finish off the game and book their ticket to the final.
The head coach explained post game that despite pulling out a win over the same Warriors’ squad last week, he knew this week would be another battle.
“I knew we had to be in top form and we were miss-ing a few key players,” he said. “ I knew it would be
a challenge for us, but to be honest with you it went okay.”
The season will continue next week for the Rough-necks, when they will likely travel to Grande Prairie to play for third place.

Rina Renée De La Cruz Cortes, known to her friends as Mona, passed away May 12, 2015 at 63 years of age. Rina was born inSan Bernardo, Chile on February 16, 1952, to Juan and Rina Torres. She met the love of her life, Victor, at age 15 and they married July 2, 1970. Rina and Victor were blessed with three sons, Juan, Victor Jr., and Mike.

leadership role and pride in all she did. She enjoyed her work and often talked of fond memories up until her fi nal days.

Rina taught these qualities to her sons. She always stressed the importance of family and that whatever happens in life, family will be there to support, encourage, and love each other.
Rina was a wife, a caring, supportive mother, a friend, and teacher. She will be in our hearts always and we say with pride not farewell, but we can’t wait to see you again where we can laugh, love, and be happy forever. We love you.

Raymond (Ray) Cameron Neufeld passed away in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, on May 10, 2015, after a lengthy illness. Ray was born in Borden, Saskatchewan, on December 10, 1941, the second son to his parents; Jake and Lydia Neufeld.
Ray was always a jokester, loved his family, and had many friends.He enjoyed camping and fi shing with his children. Most weekends you would fi nd
us heading out to our secret fi shing hole. We always had friends or relatives join us. One weekend, a bear came up the bank of the river. The bear went over to a couple of tents beside us and enjoyed the potato salad out of the back of their pickup. Of course Ray was pounding two pots, trying to scare the bear off. The pots never recovered. The bear ran down the riverbank and Ray jumped out of the camper, in his underwear, to gather rocks. When the bear returned, Ray threw rocks at it, one hitting the bear in the middle of the head. The bear shook his head and decided to leave. The funny part is the people in the tents never heard a thing!
Ray attended school in Onoway, Alberta, and was a trucker at heart. In 1970, he met the love of his life, Patricia, in Edmonton, Alberta. On August 14, 1971, they were united in marriage and from this union came four beautiful children; Cory, Rana, Terri, and Lonni. Ray being a trucker, was in Bakersfi eld, California, when Cory was born.Leaving trucking for a few years, Ray and Pat took over the Turbo Station in Winterburn, Alberta, and ran it until 1977 when they moved to Valleyview, Alberta, to run the Turbo there. Ray defi nitely had the gift to gab and always made time to b.s., but working 7 days a week left no time for family, so they relocated toDawson Creek, British Columbia, and (except for a couple of years) remained inDawson Creek, developing many close friendships over the years.
Ray was predeceased by his parents, Jake and Lydia, his older brother Eugene, and his younger brother Gerry.
Ray is survived by and will be sadly missed by his wife of 43 years, Pat, his children Cory, Rana (Terrence) Schreiber, Terri Pickett, and Lonni (Shane Lovell) Neufeld, his six grandchildren whom he loved dearly and lit up his life, Olivia and Easton Schreiber, Breanna and Kaden Pickett, Brennan and Hailey Marion, his sister-in-law Joan,brothers-in-law Garry (Jean) Outhwaite, Perry Outhwaite, and his sister-in-lawMarilyn McMillian, and numerous nieces and nephews.
At Ray’s request there will be no funeral service. In lieu of fl owers, please donate to the South Peace Hospice/Palliative Care Society.
Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd.
