Poker Rally.

If history is any guide, the riding of Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies is Bob Zimmer's until he doesn't want it anymore.

With 39 days until Canadi-ans go to the polls, the Conser-vative incumbent leads the race in most every way.

No pollster has sampled voters in the riding, probably because Zimmer won by a 36 per cent margin in 2011. His riding association had $21,000 in the bank going into the race, compared to the second-place NDP's $0. He has campaign of-fices in Prince George, Fort St. John and Dawson Creek — his NDP and Liberal challengers have one apiece. The lawn sign war isn't even close.

But if Zimmer feels sure of his chances, he doesn't say so.

"I don't assume anyone (who voted for me last time) will vote for me again," he said, in an in-terview with the Alaska High-way News at his newly-opened Dawson Creek campaign office on Wednesday.

“We have one of the stron-gest ridings for the Conserva-tives in the province, but I don’t believe any of us are safe, we need to work hard.”

With his party sagging in the

polls as the race ramps up, Zim-mer may face a tougher battle this time around.

Zimmer won his first cam-paign in 2011, but his political roots stretch back to when he joined the Reform Party at age 19.

Born in Dawson Creek, Zimmer described his fam-ily as “longtime Socreds (Social Credit Party members) from back in the day” who encour-aged involvement in politics.

Early in his career, Zimmer

worked in the oil patch and as a carpenter before taking a rugby coaching job and a de-gree at Trinity Western Univer-sity. During that time, he got involved with the local Reform party riding association, and when he moved back to Fort St. John for a job as a shop teacher, he quickly became president of the local riding association.

He still remembers the day he joined the Reform Party in Jay Hill’s office in 1988.

“I believed in the cause, in

cleaning up Ottawa and having honest people in government,” he said.

Hill held the riding for both Reform and the Canadian Alli-ance from 1993 to 2010, when he retired from politics. Before that, the region’s MP was Frank Oberle, Sr., a former Chetwynd mayor and immigrant who, as a child growing up in occupied Poland, was forced into a Hitler Youth indoctrination camp and fled the advancing Red Army at the war’s end.

A one-time Mulroney cabi-net minister, Oberle retired from politics before the 1993 rout that reduced the party to two seats. So while Zimmer takes nothing for granted, there is no example of a Conservative MP losing an election in North-east B.C.

His opponents hope to break that precedent. They include former Fort Nelson First Nation chief Kathi Dickie for the NDP, educator Matt Shaw for the Lib-erals, former Fort Nelson activ-ist and environmentalist Liz Biggar for the Green Party, and Todd Keller, who is running on Zimmer’s right as a Libertarian.

Bob ZimmerContinued from 2

Zimmer will likely face tough ques-tions on his support for Bill C-51, the controversial anti-terror legislation. The bill is already creating trouble for Conservatives in Northern B.C. In the Cariboo-Prince George riding, National Firearms Association president Sheldon Clare opted to run as an independent, citing disillusionment over the bill.

Zimmer defended his vote, saying the new powers granted to law enforcement are frequently overstated. He said a ter-ror arrest in Fort St. John earlier this year showed the need for new legislation.

“We’re in a world where we need to be paying closer attention to some of these cells in Canada...it was just a mat-ter of time before it popped up in Fort St. John,” he said. “It’s not a police state where we can see everything all the time.”

Zimmer also responds quickly to the common critique of party politics: that MPs end up representing the views of Ottawa back to their ridings rather than vice versa.

Asked to give an example of a time he advocated for regional issues, Zimmer cited a recent decision to relax federal taxes on liquefied natural gas projects. The so-called accelerated capital cost allowance will save LNG companies

around $50 million and, he hopes, en-courage investment.

“I’ve stood before the prime minister many times asking for a change from the way things are going,” he said. “There are times I can’t speak about what hap-pens in caucus, but that’s what caucus is for.”

On the allowance, “(Harper) listened to me specifically and (Senator) Richard Neufeld as well, and that’s why we have it. The prime minister wants to make sure that...he understands local issues.”

Zimmer is also one of the more so-cially conservative members of the Con-servative caucus, describing himself as a “pro-life guy” who supports traditional marriage.

Open debate on the issues are not en-couraged in caucus, but Zimmer says he and more liberal members of the party “get along” well.

“There are a lot of us in caucus with the same views (on marriage and abor-tion), but within the Conservative camp, there are traditional marriage folks and people who are more liberal and think it’s a more open thing. That’s all under the same banner. We learn to get along.”

The election is Oct. 19. [email protected]

Despite the worst turnout on record, the sixth annual Dawson Creek ALS Walk still pulled in about $1,200 this past Saturday, according to local ALS Society of B.C. organizer Shirely Dubois.

The organization has until Decem-ber to reach its $30,000 goal. From now until then, Dubois and others will be approaching businesses in the Peace for donations.

The money raised will be split 60/40 between patient support and research, respectively.

“We provide absolutely everything that a disabled person needs,” Du-bois said. "That includes wheelchairs, neck braces and support for care giv-ers. Some (equipment) is over $30,000. Not everybody has that sitting in their bank.”

The patient care funds also pay for trips to see specialists in Vancouver.

“We do all that stuff so it doesn't cost the patient anything,” she added.

Dubois said last year’s ALS ice buck-et challenge was a great thing to raise money for research, but felt that it took away from ALS walks right across the country, which focus their fundraising more on dollars for patient care.

“What a lot of people don’t realize is that yes, the ice bucket challenge is great, (but) 100 per cent of that mon-ey goes to research, which is good” she said. “But we still need that 60 per cent from the walks to look after our patients, which (ice bucket challenge) money doesn’t cover.”

This year’s turnout was a far cry from 2013, when Dubois told the Alaska Highway News she was “ecstatic” about the support she got from walkers.

“We appreciate everybody that came out and the money that was raised but holy cow, our numbers were re-ally down,” Dubois said on Wednesday. “This was the lowest turnout we’ve ever had.”

Next year will be Dubois' seventh at the helm of the event and she is deter-mined to make it a success.

The event will be moving from Sep-

tember to June.“Most of the walks elsewhere are in

June,” she said. “We’re going to give that a go. It's going to succeed next year, be-lieve me,” she said. [email protected]

To arrive in the birthplace of sport, the stage of the original Olympics in Greece is a unique experience on it’s own.

For Dawson Creek’s own Steve Oli-ver — simply being there was only half the excitement, the other half was being embattled in competition in the land where it all began at the Global Cup Se-nior World Volleyball Championships.

It was all held in Loutraki City, Greece and Oliver represented Canada in the 45’s age group tournament. The team Canadian Masters squad was made up of former team Canada national and University players and even some for-mer European pro players.

He’d been training since last Octo-ber for the event, but nothing could have prepared him for what to expect in Greece.

“The last day was the ironman part of the event,” Oliver said with a laugh. “38 degrees in the gym, no air conditioning. I swear I drank 10 litres of water a day.”

The experience, while partially taint-ed due to more than half of the origi-nally invited 12 teams dropping out, still pitted some of the best volleyball players in the world at that age against each other.

“Most of the games we won or lost were by one or two points. It was very close and very competitive,” he said. “Probably the most competitive tour-nament I’ve ever played in … I hate to say we had the best team on paper, but we were. .. everybody was there to win,

everybody came a long way and trained hard for it.”

With only nine players, Oliver and his Canadian squad ran out of gas in the double round robin format and af-ter winning their opening two matches, things went downhill from there.

“It was a war of attrition, the U.S. had 15 players,” he said. “After we lost to Hungary in the second round, we had to play Switzerland for bronze and they had already lost twice, so it was a really weird format … It is what it is, we had a great time.”

The highlight for Oliver stands to reason: playing in Greece against the United States with a sold out crowd in a packed gym that was hotter than black truck on a summer afternoon.

“We opened up the tournament and we beat the American team,” he said. “They had four former Olympians, very good. All their guys have played on the [American Volleyball Tour]. We open up the tournament and beat them two straight, that was pretty good.”

And while Oliver had planned an-

other highlight, bringing the Olympic Torch he got as a souvenir for carrying it during the Vancouver relay in 2010, didn’t quite go as planned.

“I couldn’t get a straight answer about whether they would take it through or not, so I opted out of taking it, because that’s too precious of an heirloom to get taking away at an airport,” Oliver said.

The next tournament for Oliver and

his Canadian teammates will be the U.S. Nationals in Orlando, Florida and beyond that they are all working to-wards April 2017 when the World Mas-ters Games will be in Auckland, New Zealand.

If someone needed to see an embodi-ment of Canadian’s passion for hockey, they needed look no further than the Calvin Kruk Centre in Dawson Creek on Wednesday.

Sure, some of the most passion-ate and dedicated hockey community members from Fort St. John and Daw-son Creek were gathered for the kick-off event of the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge.

While their foreground easily indicat-ed the significance of holding such an event, as Director of Events and Prop-erties for Hockey Canada Ryan Robins called it, “The World Cup of Hockey” for the Peace Region.

It was the background— one of pure Canadiana, a massive floor to ceiling Team Canada jersey, with the pride for the game oozing out of every inch of the red and white that was the awe of many.

And although one of the key figure-heads of Wednesday’s press conference, Director of Community Services for the

City of Dawson Creek Barry Reynard did not directly address the jersey, he did note how being prepared with a big package helped jumpstart the process of hosting such a major event.

“I don’t think I can tell you how emo-tionally excited I am. Since coming to Dawson Creek I have been part of what I believe are three outstanding Hockey Canada events,” which included the pre-Olympic Women’s team coming to Dawson Creek in 2009, the World Un-der 18 Women’s Championship in 2012 and the bid package for the 2016 IIHF Women’s Championship which Dawson Creek fell short in the end. “In the end we got the biggest prize of all and by having that bid package ready and pro-viding the infrastructure in place we put together what we thought was a great bid offer to Hockey Canada and boom we get it. And here we go.”

Robins provided an explanation for the impact the tournament will have fi-nancially, adding that while most com-munities target a break-even

mentality, what he has seen at past events is a massive boost in the econ-omy. He said in his opening remarks at the press conference he said the regions could benefit economically somewhere between $2-2.5 million.

“It’s actually the financial reality of a lot of the communities we go to that they will take a bid with the plan to break even or have a modest profit, just because of the financial footprint the event will leave behind,” he said.

“We have been fortunate in the past, just with the sheer scope of this event, with almost 400 athletes, between offi-cials and dignitaries just associated with the event itself and all the spillover of family, friends, scouts and other people, media that come to watch the tourna-ment.

“That number approaches 800-1000 depending on the communities we go to. Obviously the expenditures over a week or week and a half become very significant for the local accommoda-tions, restaurants and other local busi-nesses and that’s what creates the finan-cial footprint.“

While the future value of the tourna-ment can’t be understated, the current value that was announced Wednesday for the people of Fort St. John and Dawson Creek throwing elbows on their way to the box office. The early bird ticket package

will fetch somebody in Dawson Creek 14 games and a souvenir hat. That includes a ticket the semi-finals, the bronze and gold medal games. That same package will get you 12 games in Fort St. John, plus tick-ets to the gold and bronze medal games which will be hosted in Dawson Creek.

Single game ticket prices will go on sale at a later date.

These won’t just be your average 17-year-olds either, as in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft 20 of the 30 picks were players who previously played in the World Under-17 Hockey Chal-lenge. In total, 80 players from that draft played at the challenge at some point in their career.

Since the tournament premiered in 1987, 1,509 players have been drafted into the NHL following their appear-ance. Eighteen of the first overall picks since 1987 have also played in the World Under-17 Challenge.

“It’s really our first step in our program of excellence to expose our athletes — an introductory to wearing the team Canada jersey with all the expectations of our high performance model,” Robins added.

“This then transitions to U-18 and national junior teams and is the base model for our men’s worlds as well as Olympic team. So it really starts here in terms of expectation, training, the whole methodology and philosophy be-hind it.”

“I think we are pretty for-tunate with the talent pool in Canada, but I think it’s also the international athletes and the U.S. has a centralized program as well,” Robins said.

“This is the second year for this model, previous it was a five team regional model, this is now basically taking the best

111 players [born in 1999 or later] and they are evaluated at our summer showcase in Cal-gary and ultimately it will come down to 66 athletes and it may have someone from St. John’s, Newfoundland competing with someone from Vancouver, B.C. on the same line. There isn’t that same regional thought to it any more. It’s to replicate our national junior team model.”

The opening game of the tournament will be 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1 when Canada

White takes on Canada Black at the Encana Events Centre in Dawson Creek.

Pool B action will feature Russia and Sweden opening the tournament in Fort St. John at the North Peace Arena with

Worms that inhabit one or several human organs, impairing their functioning, are known as parasites. They are a widespread medical problem; an estimated 1/3 of the world’s population is host to one type of parasitic worm or another. Infestations are more common and serious in developing countries where sanitary conditions are poor and therapies inaccessible to most people. Each parasitic worm species has its own characteristics and preferred target organs. In Canada, the most common parasitic worms reside in the intestine. They are:

• Pinworms (Enterobius): they are the most common parasitic worm infections in Canada (see below).

• Roundworms (Ascaris): inhabit the small intestine and are transmitted through contact with contaminated soil or foods. The larvae migrate into the lungs, causing a cough.

• Hookworms (Ankylostoma): inhabit the small intestine and are transmitted through contact with contaminated soil or foods. They penetrate the skin and may cause itching. The larvae migrate into the lungs causing a cough.

• Whipworms (Trichuriss): are transmitted by ingestion of infested raw pork. Symptoms include vomiting, shivering, and fever. The larvae hide in human muscles, causing muscle pain and in� ammation of the lungs and myocardium (the muscle that envelops the heart). They can also a� ect the nerves. Corticosteroids and anthelmintic drugs are used for treatment.

• Tapeworms (Taenia): are renowned for their length: they can grow up to 4 to 12 metres long! They reside in the small intestine. Humans get tapeworms by eating infected raw beef or pork or raw freshwater � sh. Symptoms include loss of appetite, diarrhea, and sometimes weight loss. Taenia tapeworms can be eliminated with a single dose of the appropriate drug.

Only a physician can diagnose these worm infestations with a thorough medical history and laboratory analysis. Once the correct diagnosis is made, therapy is usually highly e� ective and easily tolerated.

PinwormsCanada’s most common parasitic infestation,

enterobiasis, mainly a� ects school-age children. Pinworms inhabit the large intestine. Scratching the perianal area (especially at night), restless sleep, irritability and inability to stay in place are telltale symptoms of a pinworm infection. Abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also be present. The perianal area becomes itchy

because that is where the female worm deposits her eggs.

Detection and diagnosisThe female worm deposits her eggs on the skin

around the anus, usually at night, while the infected person sleeps. The worms, which are white and threadlike, are about 1 cm in length. They are easy to detect because they generally squirm around. Using a � ashlight, one can examine the skin around the anus and collect a sample of the worms and eggs by placing tape, with the sticky side out, on a tongue depressor, for example. Press the skin around the anus using the tongue depressor then fold the tape over on itself. The sample can be brought to the doctor who will then be able to identify the worm under the microscope. Worms can also be seen in stool.

TreatmentTo get rid of pinworms, you need to take 2 doses

of the prescribed medicine, 2 weeks apart. The 2 doses are necessary because the drug only kills adult worms and the larvae take 2 weeks to mature into adulthood. Family members and those who have been in close contact with the a� ected individual must also be treated to prevent reinfection.

Itchiness around the anal area may be relieved by applying petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or other medicated creams or ointments.

TransmissionPinworms spread through the direct transfer

of eggs from anus to mouth. This happens when people eat food that has been contaminated by an infected individual who handles food without � rst washing his or her hands! Good hygiene is essential to preventing reinfection: keep nails short and clean, wash hands frequently, especially after using the toilet, change underwear daily, and do not scratch the perianal area. Pinworm eggs can survive outside the body for as long as three weeks at room temperature. It is therefore important to wash all bedding, clothing and toys in order to kill all the eggs.

Additionally, children should wear closed sleeping garments (one piece pajamas) or tight � tting underwear when sleeping to prevent contact between hands and eggs.

On a ride at the Dawson Creek equestrian centre Sept. 4, Hayley Braun put her horse Jay Jay through her paces. Her eyes mostly obscured by her helmet, Braun backed the 23-year-old mare, reined her around and took her for a trot around the indoor arena.

Not bad for someone who can just barely reach the stirrups.

Braun, just four years old, was among the youngest riders to participate in the Light Horse show at last month's Dawson Creek exhibition, riding Western in the lead line and walk/trot cat-egory.

She won first prize, an honour bestowed on all under-ten participants.

Braun has been riding Jay Jay, her dad's old roping horse, since she was four months old.

"She's scared of bears," she said, when asked about her mount after her ride.

Helped out of the saddle by her dad Dave, a farrier, Braun lifted Jay Jay's leg to inspect her hooves. Her mother, Trish, said Hayley has never been nervous around horses. Many don't start riding at shows until six or seven, she said.

"You're trying to control a 1,200 pound animal with a mind of its own, so it's kind of remarkable someone this young can do that," she said.

Some riders at last month's show were even younger.

Two-year-old Julie Moran was also a first place finisher at the fair.

"The lead liners and the little kids are way more fun than when you get into the older, more competitive ones," her mom Jen Pringle said with a laugh, adding she's seen one-year-olds in the lead line category.

"It gives the kids so much confidence, and gets them used to being in a show ring, so when they get older and more competitive, they have less stress and anxiety over it," she said.

Peggy Bergeron, director of the Dawson Creek Light Horse association, said the number of un-der-five riders varies year to year.

"A few years ago there were eight or 10. This year we were down to three or so," Bergeron said.

"What parents often do is put them in lead line, and there are a few walk/trot classes which everyone is required to do. That gives them a sort of a build-up to work towards entering the divi-sion classes, when they're by themselves."

Those who stick with riding will typically be-gin competing between ages seven and nine, she said. Trish Braun said she expects Hayley will be among those riders.

"Even as a baby, we'd take her out and her face would just light up," she said. "(Horses) just bring so much joy to her."
