Cowlitz Black Bears 2018

You know the summer is coming to a close when the Cowlitz Black Bears season ends. The Black Bears finished the season with a record of 20 wins and 34 losses, finishing in third for the second year in a row.  Next season will be the Black Bears 10th Anniversary. We can’t wait to see them play again next season…..only have 289 days left till their next game!

The Cowlitz Black Bears is an amateur baseball team located in Longview, Washington. They play in the West Coast League, a collegiate summer baseball league. The league comprises teams from Canada, Oregon, and Washington. Cowlitz calls David Story Field on the campus of Lower Columbia College home. As the official photographers for the Black Bears we always enjoy creating their commemorative team photo and Trader Cards for fan night appreciation give-aways. As a semi-pro team these players come from all over the United States to play the game they love through the summer for our enjoyment.  It’s an amazing addition to our community for families and sports fans to enjoy during our lovely summer months.   We can’t wait to photograph them next year!

Moms deserve recognition

A few reasons why moms deserve recognition on mother’s day

1) A mother’s smile, when it is directed towards you, makes your day a whole lot better. All she needs is to know that she has helped you to be and feel your best. Say thank you.

2) Mom taught you to be a functioning adult. That was her job, and without that, making it through the modern world would be very hard. Your mom may have forced you to do your homework, but now you see how important it was.

3) Mothers are the emotional backbones of the family. They provide the holding place for everyone’s feelings and do their best to keep us from being hurt.

4) Who would kiss your boo-boos to make it all better if she weren’t around? Mothers have the magic touch (and kiss) to help us heal our wounds, physical and emotional.

5) Truly, our mothers worked hard and made sacrifices, so our lives would be better. There are not a lot of people willing to do that, so let her know you appreciate it.

6) Mothers are forgiving—so forgive her in return. Perhaps nothing will be as valuable a gift to both of you as foregivness Open your heart and drop your resentments. Now that’s love.

7) When you want to climb the tallest mountain, your mother will make your lunch for you. She is the one who will support your dreams when no one else will. She will also remind you to wear clean underwear.

8) Her boundaries made you a better person. You may not have liked some of her decisions, especially when you wanted to party with your friends, but she did keep you out of trouble. Look at some of your friends without a mom who has cared that much.

9) A mother’s ears and eyes hear and see everything. They also have a computer-like memory for all the good (and some of the bad) that came your way. It’s nice to have someone with whom you can reminisce about your whole life.

10) Her opinion will ALWAYS matter to you. Sometimes I don’t always agree or get frustrated with my mom’s well-meaning advice, but I always care about her opinion. Even when I don’t want to consider it, I still value her wisdom.

Dino Doozer

The Dino Doozer Foundation is once again, gearing up for their 8th annual Masquerade Ball fundraising event. There event will be held next Saturday, March 24th at 6:00pm at the Cowlitz County Expo Center. This year’s event will feature a Buffet Dinner, wine tasting, dessert dash, a live and silent auction, live entertainment and much more.

What is the Dino Doozer Foundation? The Dino Doozer Foundation is a local non-profit organization here in Longview, helping children who are Fighting NF and Childhood Cancer.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) isn’t rare. It occurs in about 1 in 3,000 people. It can affect anyone. It does not discriminate, but it does change the lives of those affected. The Dino Doozer Foundation does not seek to cure, but to help the children and families afflicted by this disease. Dino Doozer can’t do this alone. They need your help.

The Foundation raises funds to help families send their child affected by NF to Camp New Friends in Virginia, a camp that serves to reduce the stigma and isolation that is often associated with neurological disorders and chronic health conditions.

Their goal for this year’s event is to raise $50,000. This money will send up to 20 local children to a full week of camp fun, including airfare to Camp New Friends. This camp is specifically designed to meet the needs of children with severe chronic health conditions. Read more about this amazing camp and what they do at www.brainycamps.com
