The BC Grain Producers Association wants to take a closer look at road maintenance in Dawson Creek, and says Mile Zero roads are in rough shape, with decade old damage in some spots. Former association director Garnet Berg approached the Peace River Regional District on July 15 during their Electoral Area Directors Committee meeting, noting he’ll be chairing a committee for the association to review road maintenance. “My concern is the road maintenance in the area, specifically north where I drive. But I’m sure it’s the same everywhere else,” said Berg. “It’s just horrendous, between Dawson and Sweetwater there was at least ten soft spots – you have drive in the ditch to get around,” he added of road 217. Berg says he’s spoken to the Ministry of Transportation and Argo Road Maintenance, who holds the contract through the province, but has struggled to get traction with both. “There’s no proactive work being done, there’s no recourse. They contract someone to do a culvert and they don’t go back and make sure it’s done right. Continued on page A8

Peace River Regional Directors approved a $4,255 grant request for the Mile 22 Community Park Association at their July 15 rural budget meeting. The funds will be used to help pay $1,755 insurance and utilities, alongside $2,500 toward the replacement of a new heater in the skate shack and the purchase of materials for a new base liner needed for the outdoor rink. The non-profit looks after the Mile 22 Park which is located in the Lebell Subdivison of Electoral Area D. The park has a ball diamond, playground area, heated outdoor skating rink, horseshoe pits and picnic grounds all used by residents for frequent recreation. The Lebell Subdivision and park is located on the old Alaska Highway - and cannot be accessed from the south due to the closure of the Kiskatinaw Bridge due to sliding activity. tsummer@ahnfsj.ca

PRRD accepts invite to help modernize forestry across the province
In his letter, he noted the focus is to reexamine 20 policy intentions drafted by the provincial government, which include changes to the forest act and management across BC. “With many significant policy changes on the horizon, these July engagement sessions will focus on two thirds of the changes over the span of a couple hours,” wrote Pederson. “These sessions will be designed to learn a bit about the policy area and ask questions, as well as provide input.” He added that an online portal will be available for PRRD directors to provide additional feedback on behalf of their communities. Pederson further stated he’s looking forward to hearing from them, and understands the difficulty in connecting right now. “I appreciate summer engagement sessions are not easy, especially with local government managing through floods in the spring and reacting to wildfires over the last several weeks on top of regular business,” he wrote. “Although this timing is not ideal, I anticipate that these topics are of great interest.” tsummer@ahnfsj.ca

Judy Kucharuk Columnist When did owning a pickup truck become a politically polarizing partisan position? In response to a July 25th, 2021, Globe and Mail column titled “Pickup Trucks are a plague on Canadian Streets”, Premier Jason Kenney recently tweeted “The Toronto Globe & Mail is having a temper tantrum about pickup trucks. I am happy to say that ~40% of the vehicles on Alberta roads are pickups. Maybe Toronto columnists should try getting around this province during a prairie blizzard in a Smart Car”. Premier Scott Moe also weighed in with his tweet, “Ridiculous. Come to Saskatchewan where we use our pickup trucks to build and grow our province…and pull the odd car of the
snow-bank”. Then the comment section lit up with commentary with everything from soup to nuts and devolved quickly. That little voice in my head said, “Want to join in on the dialogue Judy?” While I didn’t comment on the political repartee, I did comment on another post regarding pickup trucks as I felt the need to clarify that pickup trucks do serve a purpose and here, especially in Northeastern British Columbia, are more often purchased out of necessity than an ego boost. We use them for work AND play. When I brought up the use of pickups to pull RV trailers, I was met with a twitter response that read, in part, “…let me just get my spare few hundred thousand out of my coffee tin and go get a pickup truck and a holiday trailer. Could you be

more out of touch with the state of this Province? Must be nice to be so wealthy”. The comments continued back and forth, and this morning continue to come through on my timeline. It’s cool, I have no problem with the discussion and have found it quite enlightening. But don’t forget, the debate regarding the use of pickup trucks was initiated by the Toronto Globe & Mail – as far out of our hemisphere of way of life as you can get. Do I think the Premier of Alberta and Saskatchewan should have taken time out of their day to respond? No, because then it becomes a discussion about who drives the pickup trucks and less about pickup trucks. I don’t even know where to take the discussion from here. Is this simply the topic du jour? Should I feel guilty that I own a pickup? Should I feel guilty that I worked hard so that I could afford a holiday trailer (now 10 years old) that I pull behind a pickup? What about my 15-year-old quad that we pull on a utility trailer behind the truck – should I feel badly about that too? Have I missed the point of the entire conversation? Probably. I just get frustrated when I see conversations devolve into an ‘us against them’ when I don’t know who ‘us’ or ‘them’ are?

All those who knew and were often assisted by the kind and giving heart and gruff manner of Carl Grame Stewart will be saddened to hear of his passing in the Dawson Creek and District Hospital on July 1st, 2021, at the age of 80. Carl was born in Perth, Ontario on August 24th, 1940, the second child of Fletcher and Lillian Stewart. He is survived by his wife, Marsha, his sons, Jock and RobRoy, daughter Sheena and grandchildren Ainslee, Oliver and Julia. He is also survived by siblings Madonna Bell and Colleen Kenny. Growing up in Eastern Ontario Carl was primarily concerned with hockey, photography, and the history of the area. Following a stint in the Royal Canadian Army he attended Kingston Ontario’s Queens University, (English) and supported his studies as a nursing assistant at Kingston Psychiatric Hospital and St. Mary’s on the Lake and then studied Journalism at Ryerson in
Toronto. He was the bureau chief for the Welland Tribune in Fort Erie, Ontario. Having moved to Western Canada Carl worked at Parks and Recreation for the Alberta Provincial Government for a few years and studied Social Psychology at the University of Alberta.
It was during this time that Carl joined the Ancient Order of Free and Accepted Masons at Mystic Tie Lodge No. 188 in Edmonton and later affiliated with Lodges in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John and the Knights Templar in Prince George. In 1979 Carl established the local newspaper in Grimshaw, AB and then moved to the newspaper in Mackenzie, BC. In 1992 Carl became the Managing Editor of the Peace River Block Daily News. After leaving the newspaper business Carl used his nursing experience to assist in becoming a Level Three First Aid Attendant and worked on several industrial sites throughout Northern BC. For friends so wishing, donations may be made in memory of Carl to Diabetes Canada (formerly: Canadian Diabetes Assc.), 3601385 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V9.

Quote OF the week
Taylor Speedway celebrates 25 years this weekend
Dillon Giancola Sports Reporter The Taylor Speedway has been a fixture on the outskirts of Taylor for more than 25 years, tucked in behind the ball diamonds and community hall, tempting drivers to drop by and catch a race. However, just 30 years ago, there was nothing there but a vacant field. This weekend, the Fort St. John Stock Car Club will be celebrating the Speedway’s 25th anniversary, at the 2021 IMCA Modified Invitational, July 30 to August 1. This is technically the 26th season of racing at the track, but the club was unable to properly mark the occassion last year due to the pandemic. The first event at Taylor Speedway, held on May 21, 1995, was a demolition derby, something the club put on lots in the early days. The Alaska Highway News said the event was “a bang-up time” and the “action was fast and furious.” Dart Wooden and co-driver Dallas Wooden, both from Dawson Creek, finished first and took home the $1,000 prize. The first race took place a month later in June. Conception However, the ground was laid, or in this case broke, much earlier. Chris Babcock said the DrAGNet...
Fort St. John Stock Car Club began looking for a permanent place to call home in the late 1980’s. Races were held at Riley Crossing Road near the Dawson Creek Sportsman’s Club, and had previously ran at the Fort St. John gravel pit. “We didn’t have a proper racing track for a long time, and were looking for a place to build one. We couldn’t find any property around Fort St. John, but Taylor was interested in giving us some land,” said Babcock, who joked that he was the one who “conned” his father Doug Babcock into building a track. Babcock credits then-Taylor mayor Fred Jarvis with pushing for the project and selling the club the property. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held in the spring of 1991, with construction beginning that same day. The building of the track was done on the backs of volunteers and donations, entirely for free. Babcock said in addition to Doug Babcock, many local contractors, including Surerus, Ed Moore, and others, leant their time and equipment to bring the project to completion. “We had to take 18 feet of dirt from the North end of the track and move it to the South to make it level. The North end is still 10 feet higher on the North side but we ran into sand so we couldn’t dig deeper,” Babcock said.
Racing legacy Since 1995, not a summer has gone by without races at Taylor Speedway. Even during the pandemic, the club was able to hold a full season. There were no fans in attendance, and it took its toll on the club financially, but they persevered thanks to the hard work and commitment that made the track possible in the first place. “It’s been an awesome place to race this whole time,” said club president Kelly Hildebrand, who has been involved with the track since 2005. “Our volunteers have been awesome and are responsible for all the work that’s been put in — from the sound barriers and the boards around the track, to (most recently, in 2019) the lights and power source, allowing us to hold night races,” Hildebrand said. Each race weekend, drivers and club executive members are out early watering down the track and making sure it’s ready for racing. The drivers’ families cheer faithfully in the stands, and the drivers’ kids often make up the next generation of racers. With the introduction of the Hit to Pass in 2018, the racing is as exciting as ever, and sure to stay that way for years to come.

Or they pay someone to go back and do it again - I don’t know what the story is,” he said. “The whole thing is not good and I don’t know how you correct it.” He added the committee aims to approach both Argo and the ministry for meetings, and if needed, speaking with Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham and Minister of Transportation Rob Fleming. “In the past when we’ve done that, it seems to have got results. We don’t seem to be getting any right at the moment,” said Berg. Berg says there’s a standard defined in the contract for road maintenance, but has never gotten a clear answer other than roads are maintained by class. “Nobody seemed to know. And my question is if you don’t know what the class of that road is or what the specs are, how do you know if it’s been graded right?” Ditching is also an issue, says Berg, noting several culverts are full of mud or have been snipped by graders in the winter. He added these items have been brought to the attention of Argo and the ministry to no avail. “There’s holes in the roads that don’t get fixed, they stick a cone in them for a while. Some of them
have been there for ten years, and they’re actually a safety hazard,” said Berg. Area E Director Dan Rose says the association should begin documenting the situation and responses, avoiding a ‘he said, she said’ dilemma, noting Argo is required under their contract to address complaints in a timely manner. “That’s the favoured response of everybody, including us sometimes. Document it. Verbal doesn’t work anymore, you have to have a way to track it,” said Rose. Rose also feels ministry oversight should be done independently. “It should be contracted out most ministry folks are on a career ladder as well, you don’t kick the rung out or rattle the ladder if you expect to, I worry about that,” he said. Berg says the new committee will secure funding to properly document any meetings with government or Argo. Tom Summer, Local Journalism Initiative. tsummer@ahnfsj.ca

Virtual doctor replaces human one for 10 night shifts in Dawson Creek ER Rob Brown Managing Editor Over the last 10 night shifts – a virtual doctor replaced a living breathing one in the Dawson Creek ER. To help avoid closure of the Emergency Department, and diversion to Fort St John, Northern Health and the Dawson Creek Hospital have opened the door to night shift ER coverage by the Real Time Virtual Supports (RTVS) Program. RTVS, a project of Doctors of BC, the Rural Coordination Centre of BC, UBC, and the First Nations Health Authority, provides 24/7 physician coverage for Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, ICU, GPObstetrics, and more. The goal of RTVS is to provide immediate virtual support for any clinician in rural BC, right at their finger tips via Zoom. “RTVS began 1.5 years ago with the goal to support clinicians in rural, remote, and Indigenous Communities by having 24/7 physicians dedicated to taking calls from any rural community that needs a hand / wants a second opinion,” says Dr Brydon Blacklaws, Co-Lead of the RTVS Program. Blacklaws said
the program is at the cutting edge of telehealth and virtual medicine, taking phone and video calls from every corner of the province. Over the next couple weeks, the first call for the Emergency Room RN at night will be to the ‘RUDI’ doctor, which is an emergency physician dedicated to Dawson Creek for the night. The RUDI Team consists of 25 experienced emergency physicians from across the province, all with a passion for rural health, emergency medicine, and virtual support. If there is a case that requires more than can be provided virtually, the RUDI Doctor can bring on another RTVS virtual consultant, initiate immediate transfer to another facility, or call in a local physician. “Even with all the technology, the majority of the hard work is done by the emergency nurses; The real superheroes of any emergency department – especially one where the physician is virtual”. RUDI Doctors can still admit patients, and order bloodwork, x-rays, and CT Scans etc. Blacklaws notes this is fairly unique for RTVS though, as most of their calls come from much smaller communities, often with only one nurse on at a time.
“When we get a call we are in our office and ready.” Matters such as procedures that require an in person doctor will result in a patient transfer, a doctor on call coming in, or waiting for the incoming shift doctor in the morning. “Telehealth has been around a long time, but doing virtual medicine for a community the size of Dawson Creek is ground-breaking stuff. It sounds basic but it is a years in the making.” “We are sorry to hear of the staffing shortages in Dawson Creek and want to pay huge respects to the mountains of work done by your local medical team, and Northern Health, over the past couple weeks,” adds Blacklaws. “Just because every shift could not get covered by an ‘on the ground’ physician though, doesn’t mean there needs to be a lapse in high quality care and we want to thank the Dawson Creek Hospital leadership and Northern Health for looking at RTVS as an option for Dawson.” Blacklaws noted DC would likely use the technology again this year in their ER.

Into the Box: Card games for the whole family Dillon Giancola Sporting and Games, Gaming and Sports Every heatwave is soon followed by a rainy day, and it’s been no different for Dawson Creek. After all the great weather we’ve had to
be outside and play lawn games, the cooler temperatures have me looking for a game perfect to play indoors. Bananagrams, Happy Salmon and Five Crowns are three card and tile games perfect for playing with the entire family, especially if it’s raining outside and you need something to do inside the motor home. Bananagrams is my preferred game style, and excellent for your household’s spelling bee champion. Think fast paced Scrabble, without a board. Flip over all the tiles, which each have a letter on them, grab your starting tiles, and when someone yells “Split”, turn them over and start spelling as many words as you can in a grid-like format. It’s perfect for helping kids with spelling or expanding their vocabulary, or for the sports writers among you who finally get a chance to show off.
rism u o T ort p !” p a u e r S A d to k& u e o e r r P C “ on s w a in D
We do insurance windshields and accept all major fleet cards. Check us out at 1425 - 97th Avenue Formerly The Organic Bakery building.
Five Crowns is a more traditional card game. Think Rummy, or Phase 10, but with five suits. It adds just a bit more colour and flair to the game, while still keeping the focus on creating as many runs of one colour, or sets of one number, as you can. The more players the better, and up to seven can play at once! I love this game when everything is going my way, and every card I draw fits right into a set I’m already collecting. However, and this is obvious, but being set with a lot of cards in your hand when everybody else has played their whole hand is the worst, so proceed with caution.
Dwaine Dilworth 250-782-8800 glaciermobileglass@gmail.com
Then there’s Happy Salmon, a game where everyone shouts out the card in their hand at once. If you and someone else both have
the “High 5” card, find that person and give them some skin. Then, discard your card and move on to the next one. There are also cards that have you bumping fists with someone, or even switching places around the tale. It’s great for the young family, and fun and silly too. I definitely prefer hot weather to rainy, cool days, unless it’s 40 degrees outside. But, if the weather forces me inside, you can always find me at the table shuffling the cards for the next game up. If you’re interested in playing one of these games with your family, Bananagrams, Five Crowns and Happy Salmon are all available at The Northern Toybox.

DC ‘citizen’s arrest’ clip gets airtime on LA’s ‘Your Mom’s House Podcast’ this week Rob Brown Managing Editor “This is a citizen’s arrest.”
“Well Tom, I have re-under arrested you.” “Wait. What? Am I in custody?” “Yes, you are in my custody - I am commandeering this studio as a prison to arrest you, bro.”
The pair were on Segura and wife Christina P’s popular Los Angeles/Austin based podcast ‘Your Mom’s House Podcast’ - Ep.613 w/ Ian Edwards’ earlier this week.
“Yes. But I need you to finish the podcast, and if you do a good job, I may un-arrest you.”
The pair then deconstructed Dawson Creek’s No Frill’s citizen’s arrest footage from earlier this year. The two comedians ran the footage and had a commentary on the track. In March Kevin J. Johnston walked into Dave’s No Frills with others rolling camera to buy soap. As they attended without masks, they were asked to leave. Upon exiting, the group met up with No Frills owner. “First of all – to be like. ‘I have arrested you,’ Who actually thinks you can? I have to touch you, and now you are under arrest,” asked Segura. “Canada is getting really American. To tell another Canadian that you are arrested, and you have to come with me,” said Edwards. “That attitude is going to get everyone killed.”

Comedian, podcaster, basketball player, four-time Netflix special host, and husband Tom Segura, along with guest, comedian Ian Edwards, discussed Dawson Creek’s No Frills citizens arrest footage this week.
“Have you ever lived in Canada,” asked Segura of his guest Edwards.

“Wait until everyone sees my evidence,” added Edwards. “You’re crazy, and I’m taking you to jail. I like that he (Johnston) is telling the cops that he already made a citizens arrest,” concluded Segura.

The pair continued to riff. “In custody? Where are you taking me, do you have a Mom and Pop’s prison? Can we franchise,” asked Edwards. The podcast, less than a day old, has more than 250,000 views on Youtube alone. Each episode tends to gather a few million views on one social media channel. The two comedians continued as Johnston attempted to arrest No Frills’ manager Dave Krane - and RCMP took Johnston into custody. “Ian, you don’t know this Ian, but you are under arrest right now,” said Segura to Edwards.

Greasy Chains still shifting gears after 17 years
For having the name it does, the Greasy Chains Cycling Club runs much more smoother. In its 17th year of existence — the club officially formed in 2004 — the dedicated and committed members of Dawson Creek’s road bike club are just as apt to participate in a 20 km time trial or do a 900m climb as they were 10 or 15 years ago. “We ride three times a week, it’s more of a training group really. We have raced in the past but not in a while and it’s not taken that seriously. We’re happy to still be petering along and that there’s enough interest from the membership to be going after all this time,” said Carsten Erbe, a member of the original group which formed the club and who currently does most of the admin work for the Chains. While the club would love to get younger and have a youth program, as well get back into racing regularly, its main reason of existence is to promote the fantastic cycling that exists in and around Dawson Creek. “I don’t think most people realize how great the cycling is, I’ve lived and rode in lots of hot spots, but cyclists want quiet roads with lots of variation and we have that in spades here in the Peace,” Erbe said. “For Dawson Creek in particular, there is something in every direction — hills, flats, rollers, it’s heaven for road cycling, and we love beating the drum of how fun it is.” Jamie Maxwell, the Greasy Chains’ longstanding president, echoed that thought. “This is glorious cycling country, there are really nice flats and a lot of variety here. Last week we did two hills, over 500m to climb, and
now we’re doing the triple crown,” Maxwell said. Yes, a casual, week-night Greasy Chains ride can see members climb 500 m. Recently, on July 22, they planned to hold their second annual Triple Crown ride before the heavy winds kept most riders indoors. The ride sees riders climb three hills — Bear Mountain, Paradise Valley, Patterson Road — on a Thursday night, 900 metres of climbing overall. “We’ve scared people off in the past, but we’re primarily just a bunch of old guys and have thrown in challenges along the way to keep it interesting,” Erbe said. “The Triple Crown is intimidating, but we train for it, and it brings a sense of bravado.” “The interesting thing about these hills,” Maxwell said, “is if they weren’t in our program you would avoid them, but they are really good workouts, and you get a feeling of satisfaction knowing what you accomplished.” Erbe said he knows the high climbs aren’t for everyone, and a sub-group for newer riders was formed this year, bringing cyclists out on flatter, shorter rides. “We wanted to have something for a junior cyclists ability. We know there can be a barrier for anyone trying to get engaged with a newer sport, and we’re doing what we can to lessen that,” he said. For now, and for the rest of the summer, the Greasy Chains will keep on riding along, no matter how many people show up, and what age they may be. “We have modest, but healthy, numbers, and we enjoy doing it. We live to train, and live to ride,” Erbe said.

Meyer Lemon-Buttermilk Ice Cream Makes 1 quart
3⁄4 cup (6 ounces) heavy whipping cream 2⁄3 cup granulated cane sugar, divided into halves 2 Meyer lemons, (1 zested and both juiced to equal 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice) 1⁄2 Tahitian vanilla bean, split horizontally 1⁄3 cup whole milk 6 extra-large egg yolks 11⁄4 cups (10 ounces) buttermilk, chilled Stir the cream and 1⁄3 cup of the sugar together in a small saucepan. Finely grate the zest from the lemon into the pan. (The lemon can then be juiced as part of the 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.) Scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean into the pan and then add the bean. Bring the cream to a boil over medium heat. Turn off the heat, cover the top of the pan with plastic wrap, and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve and return to the saucepan. Add the milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. While the cream mixture is heating, combine the egg yolks and the remaining 1⁄3 cup sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is pale and thick and forms a ribbon when the whip is lifted from the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes. Switch the mixer to low speed. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl and beat just until combined. Do not beat to a froth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard coats a spoon and registers 160 F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Pour through the fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the custard overnight. The next day, add the buttermilk and lemon juice to the custard and stir to mix. Churn the custard in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. PC207115

250-782-4888
1. Speak to your audience and no one elSe. Attempting to connect with everyone will only weaken the message you’re trying to convey. 2. craft a powerful headline to capture the attention of your target audience. 3. Select one main image for your design, and make sure that it ties in with the ad’s overall message. 4. optimize your copy. Choose the right words to clearly communicate why the product or service you’re selling is exactly what your audience needs. 5. embrace white Space. Don’t let superfluous clutter distract your audience from the key points in your ad. 6. limit your offerS to two. Less is more when it comes to advertising. Including too much information will only confuse your audience. 7. make your ad viSually appealing by grouping similar elements together, limiting the number of typefaces you use and choosing colours wisely. 8. Stand out with colour. A full-colour ad on an otherwise black-andwhite page is sure to draw the eye, and the opposite — monochromatic in a sea of colour — is equally true. 9. alwayS include a call to action. What do you want people to do after they’ve read your ad? Sign up for your service? Visit your showroom? Let them know! 10. keep contact information cryStal clear. Potential buyers need to instantly know how and where to reach you.

John Thomas Anderson, long time resident of Dawson Creek, passed away July 17th, 2021 at the age of 83. John was born on December 25th, 1937, in Consort, Alberta, to Tom and Lizzie Anderson, he was their youngest child. John was the rock of his family, with his calm presence he was always there to listen and offer his strength and advice (if asked). He lived his life with integrity and love, setting an exemplary example for his family. His humor and intelligence constantly shone through. John was generous and kind, not only to his family and friends, but to everyone that he met. His early years were spent on the homestead in Consort, Alberta with his family. At the tender age of seven his mother passed away and his sister Margaret helped to raise him for the next two years. He then moved to Elkton, AB with his sister Edith and her husband Pete and became a part of their family for the next four years. John moved in with his dad when he retired to Saanich, BC. Unfortunately, his dad was hospitalized shortly afterwards, and John was on his own for about a year. A lifelong friendship with the Greenway family began when they opened their hearts to him, making sure he was supported and had a safe place to go. John started his first job as a custodian at his school at the age of nine, followed by various jobs until he was recruited during high school by the Bank of Montreal in 1957, which brought him to Dawson Creek, BC. Shortly afterwards he was approached to buy into McKay’s Insurance, where he continued to work until he retired in 1989. He came out of retirement several times to help with the expansion into Tumbler Ridge and the new mobile unit in Dawson Creek. On a blind date in 1958, John met Florence Chamberlain, and as they say the rest is history. 56 years of marriage, 3 children, 4 grandchildren, 4 great grandsons and countless pets. A loving and strong marriage to be sure. A lifelong passion for Bridge was John’s favorite pastime hands down. John shared his love of the outdoors with every generation of his family whether it was camping, fishing, hunting, berry picking, 3 wheeling, swimming or storm watching. John thoroughly enjoyed traveling and history, which he tended to combine on family vacations. He was particularly proud to be able to take 5 generations to Barkerville. John was predeceased by his parents, siblings, wife and two of his children Susan and Dale. He is survived by his daughter Kate, son in-law Darcy (Lana), grandchildren Brianna, Jenna (Marcel), Drayke and Aleah, his great grandsons Jordan, Keaton, Aidan, and Zachary as well as many nephews, nieces, cousins, family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday August 1st, 2021, from 2pm to 5pm at the Dawson Creek Seniors Hall. Covid-19 precautions will apply. Expressions of sympathy can be made to the Seniors Hall, 1101 McKellar Ave, Dawson Creek, BC, V1G 2S2. Very Respectfully, Reynars Funeral Home & Crematorium

The Dawson Creek Mirror, JULY 29, 2021
Sharon Rose Dilworth 1946 ~ 2021
Eulogy written by Sharlene & Sherri
Our beloved Mom, Gramma, Sister, Aunt and Friend Sharon Rose Dilworth passed away peacefully in her home on July 4, 2021, at the age of 75. Sharon Rose Anderson was born in Dawson Creek, on January 15, 1946, to Ed and Evelyn Anderson. Ken followed a year later and Bob a year and a half after that. Mom was predeceased by her husband George, her parents Ed and Evelyn Anderson and her in-laws Ernie and Lily Dilworth, and many other family members. Mom is survived by her daughters Sharlene (Dale) and Sherri (Jason) and grandchildren Shanna, Savanna, Jordan, Brenden (Mary) and Bryce. Her brothers Ken, Bob (Louise), extended family and friends. Mom spent her childhood camping, fishing and riverboating in the Peace River area, as her dad was a guide. Mom graduated in 1964 and went to work at the Lake View Credit Union as a teller, she worked with her good friend Lynne Willich. Mom and Dad’s childhood friends Leroy and Lynne Willich set them up on a blind in date in October 1965 and they were married January 14, 1967, one day before her 21st birthday, so her parents had to sign for her to be married. Mom and Dad talked about how many kids they wanted and keep in mind Mom only had 2 brothers, Dad had 4 brothers and 6 sisters. Dad replied a small family, so 5 or 6. Mom was panicking, but she kept her cool and said how many would you like to take to town with you? Dad said for Christ Sake just 1! Mom said let’s compromise and have one for each hand, so on February 10, 1970, Sharlene Rose was born and a year later Sherri Ann was born on February 20, 1971. Their family was complete. Mom and Dad purchased and moved into the old Walter Haddow property, and they lived in the old farmhouse until 1977 when they built the new house further back on the property. They lived there for almost 40 years, in 2006 they sold the farm, so dad could semi retire, and they bought the house she was currently living in. Mom quit work to be a stay-at-home mom. She was a fun, caring and supportive mom, we were taught respect, to help people and have manners. She was always there for us when we needed her and we were so lucky to have her as our Mom. We spent many days camping, having wiener roasts, swimming in the river, visiting and playing cards with the Willichs, Studleys, Walkers and Holloways. Mom always made sure we were able to be kids, although she needed us to plant and care for the garden each year and make meals for them when they were in the field. I guess she was teaching us good work ethic. She always made a big deal about our birthdays, and we always felt special. When we were younger, she always made us angel food cake with 7-minute frosting, and it even had coins inside! When we got older, she would ice the cakes and let us decorate, which was so much fun. Mom worked on the farm along side Dad, and she loved the country life even though she grew up in the city. When they moved to town, she did not like it as much as Dad, but grew to like the conveniences. She could shop whenever she wanted and see her daughters and grandchildren more often. In 1998 Mom became a Gramma, when Shanna Evelyn Rose was born, then in 2000 Savanna Krista Rae was born and Jordan Robert was born in 2001. She was Gramma to Brenden and Bryce, when Sharlene had them in her day care and became a part of the family when Sherri and Jason got together later. All her grandkids were her pride and joy, and she was so proud of their accomplishments, which everyone heard about. They always had beautiful sweaters, clothes, blankets, and quilts homemade by her and she was recently showing Shanna how to sew. Mom was involved in the Women’s Institute and made many quilts with the local women. She loved to read, sew, knit, and quilt, so everyone who got married or had a baby got a homemade quilt lovingly made by her. Mom would not do things little she always made things in bulk. When she knit over 50 hats for Lynne Willich’s granddaughter to take with her on her overseas trip to help the less fortunate. She made her own clothes and ours when we were little. She loved to can, and we spent many summers helping her make dill pickles and raspberry freezer jam. The last year she loved to watch tv, do word search and talk on the phone. Mom had a cerebral aneurysm on March 29, 1999, and she survived somehow, her doctors called her a miracle. Mom was different after that and had short term memory loss, but she was able to do most all she did before. She believed she survived to help and be in her grandchildren’s lives, because she always wanted to be a Gramma. She always said with a laugh I picked the perfect way to go, but they did not want me. Mom had a great sense of humour, loved to laugh, and tell stories to the grandchildren and anyone who would listen. Savanna remembers one story about Gramma kicking one of her brothers in the leg and she gave him a Charlie horse. He was not too happy with her and took chase. She would laugh and say I could run faster with a sore toe than he could with a Charlie horse. Mom always told us about Jordan coming up to her when he was around 5 and asking her if she was tired? When she said Yes, he would go play quietly for awhile. Then he came back after a bit he would say is it okay if we play loudly again? She was always amazed at how Jordan could tell by the look on her face that she needed some quiet time. When Mom was recovering from her aneurysm 23 years ago Shanna remembers her telling her she was the reward for going for the walk that bossy Mom, Sharlene made her do everyday. Shanna was 6 months old then and Mom could not hold her, so she would lay on the couch and Shanna would lay on her tummy. As Moms breathing got worse from her lung disease, she was not able to go shopping and she loved to shop, even though she had a year supply of everything. She used to stock up on the farm, because they only came to town once a week and she never got out of the habit. She was so happy when she discovered the drivable carts at Save on Foods, because she could go shopping again! Shanna was with her when she was learning to drive the cart and Mom ran over Shanna’s foot, they laughed, and she did get better at driving. We lost Dad August 28, 2016, after his battle with cancer, they were married for 49.5 years. She had a hard time after losing dad and became lonely, because they did so much together. She had started to go to the Thursday morning coffee group, and she loved it, she met new people and connected with old friends too, then Covid hit, so she did not have that social connection anymore. She continued to work for The Mirror inserting flyers in the papers and it gave her a good social life and extra money. She loved the social part of the job, and the people, they all called her Gramma, and I don’t think they knew her name. She had to quit in December 2020, due to her worsening health and this spring she was diagnosed with a lung disease. She was given 1 to 2 years, she put on a brave front, but I think she was scared and did not want to suffer. She wanted to be in her home, so Shanna and her puppy moved in January, she was so happy with the company and the meals. Mom was GG, which was Great Gramma to Shanna’s little black pug dog. On July 4th, Mom passed away from Acute Cardiac Arrest, with no warning, her heart just quit working and she got her wish to go quickly and pain free. It was a terrible shock to all of us, but she did not want to be a burden to us, and she went on her own terms and did not have to suffer with her lung disease. She was preparing us all as a month ago she told us she did not think she would be around much longer. I do not know how she knew, but she did, and she was looking out for us still by preparing us for her passing. She will be missed so much, but she is in a better place with Dad by her side. Goodbye and see you later sweet lady.
