May 3, the Quesnel RCMP received a report of a serious assault in the 600 block of Elm Street in Quesnel (previous news release on www.quesnel. bc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca, May 5, 2014). A 40-year-old Quesnel man was taken to GR Baker Hospital at that time. The male was almost immediately transferred to the University Hospital of Northern B.C. for treatment with what was described as life threatening injuries.

Quesnel RCMP, with the assistance of the Coroner’s Service and the North District Major Crimes Unit in Prince George, have and continue to investigate this incident. Investigation has determined this was a targeted attack and it is believed that the victim knew his assailants. As with all crimes, the general public may have information they feel is insignificant but the police would like to hear from you, no matter how small the piece of information may be, relating to this incident. If you have any information about this criminal offence, contact the the Quesnel RCMP at (250)992-9211 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1(800)2228477.

Gold Pan City goes progressive accessible
L
ast week I had the pleasure of participating in the launch of the BC Accessibility Summit as the Minister’s Council on Employment and Accessibility. I applaud the provincial government for their vision with respect to accessibility and their goal to make BC the most progressive province in Canada for people with disabilities by 2024. As the Mayor of a community of 10,000 and a service area of 25,000, I know the importance of accessibility and inclusion for all ages. ourQuesnel: Integrated Community Sustainability Plan outlines our Social and Community Well-Being Strategy. In part, our goal is to meet residents’ physical needs through services and infrastructure by making accessibility a priority. Paired with our Transportation and Mobility Strategy, we aim to ensure all residents can easily maneuver our great City. We set aside a portion of our budget annually to support curb cuts and planning developments based on our local accessibility champions. Employment in our community for folks with disabilities has grown over the years, with many businesses participating such as Granville’s Coffee, Tim Horton’s, Salvation Army, Super Save Gas and Walmart, along with many others. The City of Quesnel currently has seven full and part-time employees with varying levels of disabilities who work at City Hall, the Fire Hall, the RCMP Detachment and the Quesnel and District Recreation Centre. Working in cooperation with our CUPE Locals we recognize the importance of employment

MAYOR’S MESSAGE
opportunities for persons with disabilities. Our local ambassador, Dennis, retired this past year after 40 years of service to the City. He has returned to work three days a week over the spring and summer seasons. During the 2010 Winter Games, Dennis carried the torch on its final leg as it made its way through Quesnel downtown to our Spirit Square and his smile and dedication to our City are appreciated by all. Dennis is pivotal in keeping our downtown area spotless and, our Director of Public Works estimates that Dennis has worn out more than 100 brooms and has swept the distance of sidewalks from Vancouver to Halifax and back to Calgary. We have two champions in our community, Lynn Turner and Alison Duddy, who have encouraged accessibility awareness through an annual Parking Awareness Month. These champions have recommended a Mayor’s Accessible Committee, of which I am pleased to say, Council supported at last Monday’s meeting. Developing the Terms of Reference for the committee is our first step. Quesnel City Council supported and helped fund the Quesnel Curling Club in their efforts to become wheelchair accessible. Quesnel’s Alison Duddy was named CurlBC’s disabled athlete of the year for 2012/2013. Alison is a member of the BC Wheelchair Curling Provincial Champions who won the gold medal in the last two Provincial
Championships and two consecutive medals at the National level. The Child Development Centre is working toward an accessible playground at our local Arts and Recreation Centre and fundraising efforts are well underway to make this a reality. Additionally, the Arts and Recreation Centre has completed upgrades to ensure
washrooms and change rooms are accessible, have three pieces of disabled accessible gym equipment and a pool lift. This was in partnership with our local Rotary Club. Quesnel was chosen as one of the pilot communities for BC Transit’s new accessible low level vicinity bus last year. In October we received two new
accessible busses for our community as part of the fleet. We are a very progressive community. But, we as Local Government can always do more. Funding for Community Living BC and our many other agencies can assist with customized employment programs. Quesnel Community Living BC Association
operates as a not-forprofit organization and have created the “Good For you Market” and are also providing secure rental accommodation in our community. This association is very active in our community, addressing many needs, including work with transitional youth. It is important that accessibility
is considered in every aspect of our community from the planning stages forward. We all need to think about accessibility every day! If you have a question for Mayor Mary Sjostrom, please e-mail it to us at newsroom@ quesnelobserver.com and we’ll forward it to the Mayor so she can answer it in an upcoming column.

No report cards issued for K through nine
If your child is in grades K through nine, they will not be receiving a year-end report card.
Report cards grades K to 9 Report cards will not be provided for students in Grades Kindergarten to 9. The information needed to produce report cards is not available due to the strike. Students will progress to the next grade unless their parents have been notified otherwise.
Report cards gades 10 to 12 The Labour Relations Board has ruled that final marks for students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 will be submitted by teachers. Students in these grades will receive report cards which will include final course marks; however, the report cards will not include comments or a description of work habits. Correlieu Secondary School
will provide parents with notification of when report cards are available for distribution and/or pick up. Individual schools will make arrangements for students to pick up personal belongings and return any school materials (library books and textbooks) after Canada Day, July 1. If you have school related questions contact your school principal.
Summer school pickets next: BCTF
Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision Wednesday, as
he prepared for the first meeting with B.C. Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17. The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with possible mediation. BCPSEA has applied to the Labour Relations Board for summer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.” Summer programs for elementary school students, international students or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be protected by an LRB order, meaning the majority of summer programs wouldn’t go ahead. Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the
traditional summer vacation. They are in the middle of their final three-month term and are facing more disruption than other schools. BCPSEA has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation. Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the summer off as they have done in previous disputes. The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits, with a long-running dispute over class size and special needs support levels going back to court this fall. More in Wednesday’s Observer.

hen an old friend called about a Lyme Disease forum they were holding in Quesnel on July 5, I was happy to help her out. I had no idea the learning curve I was in for; the shock and dismay I would feel as the facts unfolded during my research. Her story, and many like her, is a sad, frustrating and completely unnecessary one. Many people have suffered needlessly with misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment or simply no treatment at all. Since discovering the connection between ticks and the Lyme Disease they carry in 1970 in the U.S.A., medical professionals, legislators and governing bodies across the globe have argued the merits of correct protocol for the diagnosis and treatment of this devastating disease. And yet, in 2014, many physicians are still unaware of the appropriate diagnosis and treatment, some flatly denying the existence of chronic Lyme disease, some failing to recognize symptoms of the disease in the first place. Those suffering with early onset or chronic Lyme disease spend every dime they have trying to regain even a little of the good health they enjoyed before contracting, what is believed to be the most misdiagnosed and under-treated disease in the world. Some people take those hopes and dreams of wellness to their grave along with the bacteria that killed them. The Internet has plenty of stories, facts, research, reports and information on Lyme disease but beware their is also much misinformation and hidden information. I worry now every time I find myself in long grass or a wooded area because should I have the misfortune to contract this ugly disease, my future will not be bright. – Annie Gallant, Quesnel Observer

Being proud to be Canadian
anadian T-shirts, hats and paraphernalia are selling like hotcakes across the country in anticipation of this weekend’s Canada Day festivities, but Captain and Mrs. Canada already have their outfits pressed and ready to go. The patriotic Vancouver couple, who have been unofficially representing their country nationally and internationally for the last decade, will be appearing at the Westside Daze parade and fair grounds in West Kelowna the weekend leading up to the first of July celebration. The captain will be wearing his white naval officer’s suit with a bright red shirt and the missus will be wearing a regal red gown, a tiara with a maple leaf, and both will be adorned with Canadian pins. Jack Hetherington, and his life partner Christine Harper, are the lovely people behind these proud flag-waving personas, and have thoroughly enjoyed the warm reception they’ve received everywhere they’ve been. “The reaction has been wonderful,” Christine said. “It’s especially fulfilling for us to see children’s faces light up. We’ve been asked

On A Brighter Note by some of them if we’re the king and the queen.” Appearing before huge crowds of tourists from around the world during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Captain and Mrs. Canada were more than happy to pose for photos and answer questions about their beloved country. Prior to that and since then they’ve traveled far and wide visiting countless fairs and events across Canada and in the US, and also went to Buckingham Palace, where they were greeted by people seemingly more excited about getting their picture taken with them than with the Coldstream Guards. The gregarious duo thought up the idea for their alter egos 10 years ago while dressed far more casually in Canadian T-shirts, flip flops and tall red and white top hats on Canada Day.
offering sandwiches and Canadian touques. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing Captain and Mrs. Canada this weekend. Not just because I love the joy they’re spreading and believe them to be national treasures, but because he is my mother’s only sibling and my precious Uncle Jack. He, along with Christine, helped my brother and I out tremendously when our beautiful mom passed away in December. They’re both loving, compassionate and generous with their energy and have many years of experience being that way. “We love to make people happy,” Christine said, referring to their public personas. “Our ultimate reward is a smile. You can’t put a price on that.” “We are Canadian archpatriots,” Jack added. “We love our country and the people who make it great.” So do I. And Captain and Mrs. Canada are two people who definitely do that. For more information please visit CaptainAndMrsCanada.ca Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

“The idea began on our sailboat at the marina on Bowen Island in 2004,” Jack said. “We set up speakers and played three songs every 20 minutes all day: Oh Canada, God Save the Queen and Happy Birthday. People kept coming by to talk and sign our guest book. The day was a phenomenal success.” After that they decided to take things to a whole new level and create distinguished characters to be formal ambassadors of Canada. “Our goal is to foster Canadian unity and patriotism wherever we go,” Jack added. “To tell the tale of our proud history and to salute all Canadians who wear and have worn our nation’s uniform, particularly the fallen in all past wars and conflict, by proudly representing our country at public gatherings, civic holidays, parades and any celebration where people gather.” The focus of their volunteer work includes charitable involvement, appearing at events for children with challenges and other worthwhile causes.

Our children are paying the ultimate price Editor: She may not have finished college, but our premier is no dummy. In fact, I’m inclined to say she’s a genius. Imagine parents telling their teenager they are doubling his $10/week allowance to $20. After breaking that exciting news to him, they inform him that he will now be responsible for buying all of his clothing and groceries. Now imagine those parents announcing their son’s 100 per cent funding increase to everyone who would listen. Technically, they are telling the truth. They are funding him at a higher
Letters to the Editor
level than ever before. In reality, however, they have put him into an impossible position. This is exactly what Ms. Clark’s government has done to public education in B.C. She has slashed the province’s public education budget by downloading costs onto school districts, which, in turn, have been downloaded onto schools and eventually families. This is why schools no longer have funds for textbooks or other necessities. It’s why students are now expected to provide schools with supplies such as photocopy paper and Kleenex. It’s why
some districts are looking at charging families for bussing their kids to school. It’s why PAC groups must now fundraise to pay for playgrounds, playground equipment, bussing, computers and so many of the other things which used to be supplied by the Ministry. It’s why, year after year, we hear news reports of school boards who are simply unable to make their budgets stretch far enough. And all the while, Ms. Clark’s government can show the public statistics that suggest they are funding the system at the highest levels ever.
Brilliant, eh? Ms. Clark’s genius doesn’t end there. After 12 years of chronic under-funding, she must have known that teachers would eventually stand up and say, “enough is enough.” Her solution was a stroke of genius. The moment teachers started taking action, her government announced to the public at every available opportunity that these actions were affecting students – regardless of whether or not they were (i.e., phase one of the teachers’ job action.) Indeed, they carefully focused the public’s attention on the
teachers actions instead of the much longer-lasting and harmful effects of the government’s underfunding. (Ironically, it was actually the government’s lockout in this dispute that ended noon-hour help for students, field trips, track meets, sports days, year-end celebrations, etc.) Yes, our brilliant premier has successfully duped a large segment of the population. People hear teachers stories (which are often dismissed as whining), but unless one works in the system and witnesses first-hand the effects of the chronic under-funding, it is difficult to sort through
the conflicting reports and opinions. I am convinced that, if the average citizen spent one day in a modern-day classroom, they’d very quickly see the truth. Obviously, though, this would be impossible. Sadly, regardless of whether you choose to believe Ms. Clark or the teachers, it’s our children who are paying the ultimate price and being cheated out of the properly-funded, quality education system they deserve. And there’s nothing brilliant about that. Don Schneider Grade 6/7 teacher and father of three Quesnel

It has been wonderful working with the families, the staff and the Board of Directors. After so many years though, the biggest thrill still for me was making a Big Brother or Big Sister match. I made my last match a few weeks ago. It was just a big moment as when I made my first match. I truly believe in the value and values of mentoring. When I call up the parent, the Little Brother/Little Sister and the Big Brother/ Big Sister, it is a joy to hear that everyone is happy and enjoying their activities together.

Oh Those Golden Years They tell us when we’re younger, getting old is all the rage, So I can hardly wait, to be that ripe old golden age. We work so hard in early life, to make ends meet ahead, To find we’ve worked for nothing, and we’re all behind instead. For every dollar you have saved, cost of living’s gone up two’ You wonder when you reach that age, what are you going to do? I now have reached that ripe old age, and now I wonder why, We hadn’t done those famous things, when we were young and spry. For now you have these aches and pains, that hurt with every move, Your arms are sore, your legs they hurt, you hope it will improve. But standing up and sitting down, becomes a daily chore, You wonder what you did in life, that made you weak and sore. Then one day when you wake up, you’re really on a roll, You’re ready now to take that trip, that long and wanted goal. Your car is old and out of date, it will not make the trip, But that’s okay, you’ll take a plane, hurry pack your grip.
Lift a finger or two, help out we dare say, but no, they’re busy; today’s not the day. Clean your room, tidy up, help out just a bit, doesn’t sound like a lot, but apparently it is. The argument starts, the tension flares the words become hurtful, they really don’t care. We have given ourselves to their every need and desire, to be rewarded with what? A cheek red with fire? A teenage brain they say, it’s a troubled mind, I think it’s just attitude, disrespectful unkind. Parental love is eternal, never ending I know but it’s hard to forget this hatred they show! It’s disheartening to say the least to give with all your might to feel such grief.
You’re at the airport, checking in, it appears there is a strike, In other words there is no chance to take the trip you like. You wait around and wait around, all things are at a halt, This plane won’t go, this trip is off, and now it’s not your fault. So home you go, you’ll try again, it’s just another day, By the time you’re ready, you’re aching all the way. The time has really lapsed now, your bones are stiff and sore, You’ll have to stay at home now, to travel is a chore. Your hips are sore, knees they ache, your back hurts when you walk, This means you cannot get around, or even stop to talk. With all these problems, bis and small, it’s very plain to see, That daily life is really rough, and travelling’s not for me. So now we live with hopes and joys, these aches will go away, But it’s a life we’ll have to face, for they are here to stay. These golden years, as you can see, are really not a pleasure, For now you know, from all of this, that home’s the place to treasure. Elaine Couldwell
Why is there such disrespect from the kids today? I wouldn’t have dared raise a hand or speak the words they say. Is it our lifestyle, our insistent demand to spoil and provide as much as we can? The playstations, the lap tops, the cell phones, what more? New cars, holidays, all the toys, and what for?
I’m solemn with sadness, have I failed to do right? Do I give in to this lesson or pursue the fight? A place in my heart will always be there I will always love and always care. You are my child, forever will be but until you learn respect…I won’t let you hurt me.
A Mother! Holding My Life In Your Hands
You’ve got the whole world in your hands, and I ponder my thoughts knowing your home is safe where my soul lands. I am your precious jewel and I will shine for you, you show me enough good things and I know your love is so true. You loved me so dearly right from the start, and therefore I will hold you forever in my heart. Along my travels in life I might be faced with a heavy load, but with you by my side I am surely destined to reach the end of the road. Your love endures forever and you are my mediation too, my hope and life is anchored in the everlasting promises of you. By Debbie C Rosenau

Right diagnosis, right treatment Lyme Disease misunderstood, often called the ultimate mimic ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
C
har Harder has difficulty walking, using a cane or sometimes a walker. Life has changed for this once-vibrant woman. She has Lyme
Disease. However, its been an 18-year battle for the right diagnosis and the right treatment for her progressively debilitating condition. In 1997, she was bitten on the knee by a tick, radiating from the red sore was the tell-tale bulls-eye rash that extended from her shin all the way up her thigh. The symptoms persisted for six months. At the same time she was bitten by a tick, Char contracted Giardia (known as beaver fever). Her doctor treated the Giardia with antibiotics, irradiated the parasitic disease but, unbeknownst to either Char or her physician, if stronger antibiotics has been administered, it would have also irradiated the yet undiagnosed Lyme Disease. Flu-like symptoms plagued Char for the next year, she developed several life-threatening allergies and for several years she would suffer with bouts of pneumonia, sometimes double-pneumonia. For the next 10 years, this very strong woman was being systematically knocked around and demoralized by chronic symptoms. In 2010, facing a huge family crisis, Char went to Vancouver to help a family member and while visiting her in the hospital, contracted C.difficile, a bacterial infection which required two weeks of heavy-duty antibiotics. Within six months she battled shingles twice and C.difficile again. Again, unaware of the Lyme Disease in her body, Char experienced a further deterioration of her fragile health. She experienced massive panic attacks, psychiatric episodes, cognitive failings and horrible periods where her memory seemed wiped clean. She had to concentrate to remember what a fork was for and how to use a tooth brush. In 2011, suffering from waves of fear of working and being with people, Char found herself unable to work, something that had always been very important to her. As she and husband Fred became desperate to know what was happening to her, Char began round after round of diagnostic testing. First she was told in Vancouver it was cardio-ischemia, a restriction in blood supply to tissues, then lupus, a chronic inflammatory disease, but was later cleared of both these condition as well as rheumatoid arthritis and several other conditions. Many others are falsely diagnosed with MS, Chronic Fatigue and other auto-immune diseases. In May 2013, Char was visiting a friend who related the case of someone who was finally diagnosed with Lyme Disease by a doctor/naturopath in Calgary. Char packed up and shipped all her results from all her specialists to Dr. Riddle and he carefully read everything. This physician wasn’t just a medical professional, he was a former Lyme Disease patient

who successfully treated himself. He clinically diagnosed Char with Lyme Disease as well as two co-infections common to Lyme Disease, Bartonella and Babisia. She’s one year into the treatment for Bartonella and is only a third of the way to killing the Bartonella infection. At the same time she’s on six types of treatments, pills and drops for both Lyme and Bartonella, then she and her physician/naturopath will attack the Babisia. Char persists with her treatments, keeping a keen eye on the prize at the end. None of the treatments are covered by any medical plan and some of the treatments send Char into a tailspin where racking pain and other side affects keep her in bed for days, unable to function. As the bacteria is killed off, it releases the toxins contained within and this is very hard on an already fragile body. “I’m constantly short of breath, it’s like someones holding a pillow over my face,” she said. “I have extreme fatigue, light and sound sensitivity as well as smell and taste and the ringing in my ears is overwhelming but the worst is the pain I experience most of the time.” It will probably cost her more than $100,000 to banish Lyme from her body but she has much to live for – a loving husband, long delayed retirement plans and beautiful grandchildren who mean the world to her. Lyme Disease is an infectious disease carried by various birds, rodents, deer and ticks. The disease was first discovered in 1970 when the characteristic bulls-eye rash appeared on some men in the U.S., then a large group of families in the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut, thus the name given to the disease. The bacterium transmitted by the tick bite is a corkscrew shaped organism call a spirochete. The particular spirochete responsible for Lyme disease is Borrelia burgdorferi. If treated within the first four weeks of infection, three weeks of appropriate antibiotics kills the bacteria but left untreated, the condition becomes much worse and the treatment much more complex. Controversy has raged concerning Lyme Disease. Difficult to diagnose and, once the disease takes hold in the body, difficult to treat. Some say Lyme is the most mis-diagnosed disease in the world.

research began, protocols for treatment of the disease were instituted, but these protocols didn’t apply to chronic Lyme Disease as it requires a much more complicated diagnostic techniques and a prolonged treatment regimen. Most general practitioners are not familiar with Lyme Disease and some refuse to treat patients presenting with symptoms consistent with Lyme Disease or at least potentially Lyme Disease. Even respectable medical Internet sites offer conflicting information. Information about the prevalence of the ticks known to carry the disease, or number of cases of Lyme Disease also seem under-estimated and poorly reported. It’s difficult to know which facts and information to believe. Lisa Steels, 36, is a forest protection assistant and as such, is exposed to all the forest and bush have to offer, including ticks. In 2003, she began experiencing shortness of breath, memory loss, fatigue and other symptoms and was diagnosed with vague medical conditions. She listened to their expertise. Over the next five years her health yo-yoed and she struggled with various conditions that affected lots of areas of her body but she remembers significant cognitive impairment. In 2006 she distinctly remembers being bit by something in the bush and her symptoms diversified, ebbing and flowing over time. “I remember much more respiratory problems,” she said. In 2009, again bit by ticks, her roommate at the time removed two from her head. Her symptoms then intensified. “But again I had vastly different symptoms which compounded existing symptoms,” she said. “I was treated symptomatically, no one looked for one over-arching condition.” By now her health was affecting her ability to work and she became angry and frustrated with the ongoing medical issues. Bit again in 2010, Lisa reports that incident created the worst reaction, especially regarding cognitive abilities and nerve disfunction. By chance, Lisa had a friend diagnosed with Lyme Disease which sent her on the path to a Dr. Ernie Murakami in Hope, B.C. Despite public institutions advising against it, Lisa spent the $1,000 required to have her blood tested in California and now, at her own expense, receives treatment for her diagnosed Lyme Disease from a specialist in Seattle, Washington. She figures she’s facing at least another year of treatment before the disease is gone from her body. “It ain’t cheap to have Lyme Disease,” she said ruefully. Many desperately sick patients have also sought out the advice of Dr. Murakami who specializes in research, education and assistance to those suspected of or diagnosed with Lyme Disease. See PAGE 18

Congratulations Bethel Church
Dengarry Professional Services would like to congratulate Bethel Church for creating a diverse workforce. This has been shown through their commitment in hiring an individual with developmental disabilities. The organization is being rewarded with “Diversity @ Work” Stickers to place on their door. Bethel Church recognizes the value of a diverse workforce and the contributions people with developmental disabilities can give to the workplace and the community. BC EmployNet has initiated the window sticker program across B.C. to recognize employers who have shown their belief in diversity in the workplace by hiring a capable individual who also happens to have a disability.
Many people with developmental disabilities are eager to be employed, want to earn an income, be a contributing member to their community and valued in their jobs. Real work for real pay enhances independence, financial security and fosters a sense of belonging. Part of the goal of recognizing businesses and organizations that demonstrate their belief in a diverse workplace is to inform the public who may in turn choose to support such businesses and organizations. So, again, we are pleased to congratulate and recognize Bethel Church for their efforts and leadership in this area. If you have any questions about the “Diversity @ Work” program, please call Stephanie Pomeroy at 250992-7900 ext.6.

GUEST SHOT
is just a microcosm of how Lyme disease is mismanaged in B.C. Across Canada, the infection rate in the the black-legged tick that carries Lyme disease has soared. In Newfoundland, the infection rate has reached 27.3 per cent, in Ontario 15.9 per cent, in Nova Scotia 11.8 per cent and in Alberta an astounding 20 per cent. However in B.C., medical authorities report that, magically, we have just a 0.5 per cent Borrelia infection rate in our blacklegged ticks, a rate that is unchanged in decades. The notion that B.C. can stop infected ticks at our border is, of course, ridiculous, especially when you consider the staggering rate of infection south of the border. In 2012, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported about 30,000 cases of Lyme disease a year. However, in August 2013, the CDC made a stunning announcement that they believed Lyme disease had been under-reported tenfold and there were actually 300,000 cases annually. Compare those numbers to the 315 cases officially reported in Canada and the 18 Lyme disease cases that were identified last year in B.C. The earthquake doesn’t stop there. New and compelling science is rapidly changing what we know about Lyme disease. Peerreviewed studies show persistence of infection after antibiotic treatment and recent scientific papers reveal how different strains of Borrelia, such as Borrelia miyamotoi (a strain likely to be found in B.C.,
if anyone were looking), can not only cause Lyme disease patients to present with a different array of symptoms, but can also confound blood tests. These findings are triggering vigorous, more informed discussions about this serious tick-borne illness. Indeed, new science led Health Canada to recently announce that the diagnosis of Lyme disease should be a “clinical” one; where doctors diagnose based on a patient’s symptoms rather than a substandard blood
test. Acknowledging that our current tests in B.C. aren’t identifying all strains of the bacteria that cause Lyme disease might be embarrassing for some medical authorities, but it isn’t a crime. What is unacceptable, though, is for those authorities to continue to defend inaccurate tests as “best practices” and to provide outdated and erroneous information to doctors who desperately need help treating this challenging illness.
Patients with Lyme disease in B.C. deserve better. For too many years, people living with this illness have had to go to the U.S. and pay for tests and treatment they should be able to get at home. People have mortgaged their homes, lost their jobs and seen their children end up in wheelchairs because of the inadequacy of treatment here. This simply has to change. B.C. is at a fork in the road: will we continue to defend the status
quo and effectively deny Lyme-disease patients the diagnosis and treatment they desperately need; or will we recognize that we can do better, admit our mistakes and move ahead, as the federal government is doing, by embracing new science, updating treatment practices and working with patient advocates and their experts? The choice is ours. Gwen Barlee is policy director of the Wilderness Committee and an advocate for victims of Lyme disease.

from A16 His work is recognized internationally and he has attended and delivered clinics on the disease around the world. During this time he became familiar with the treatment of Lyme, both long term and short term, as well as the split theories surrounding the treatment of Lyme. One medical faction believed that only three weeks of treatment was adequate at any level, despite this having been disproven, while others believed long term treatment was required to eradicate the cystic form of the disease, based on biological fact. Now retired from his regular practice, Dr. Murakami devotes his time to this very controversial topic and offers his expertise to patients, possible sufferers and doctors alike. Lisa and Char have organized a forum in Quesnel with guest speaker Dr. Murakami, July 5 from 2 – 5 p.m. in West Fraser Timber Room at the Arts and Rec. Centre. During this free forum there will also be a screening of the documentary Under Our Skin. For anyone potentially suffering from auto-immune diseases or want to know more about the delicately frustrating world of medical diagnosis or specifically Lyme Disease in all its facets, this is an ideal opportunity.
R
ecently, Lyme disease patients across Canada cheered as Elizabeth May’s private member’s bill on Lyme disease passed its third reading. This historic moment was cause for celebration, not only because private member’s bills almost never receive all-party support, but also because it showed the federal government is finally taking Lyme disease seriously. In B.C., however, it is a different story. Also recently, yet another doctor resigned from the Complex Chronic Disease Program, an initiative announced by the B.C. government with much fanfare three years ago. The program was supposed to treat Lyme disease and other complex chronic illnesses. This doctor didn’t go quietly into the night; instead, Dr. Liz Zubek made her resignation letter public, saying she was leaving because the program was “going backward instead of forward” in terms of meeting its mandate. Specifically, Zubek pointed out that the program was not providing antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease. Yes, you read that correctly. Although Lyme disease is an infection, caused by the Borrelia spirochete, instead of antibiotics the program was advocating cognitive behavioural therapy as “treatment” for Lyme disease patients. Nowhere in the annals of medical literature does it show that deep breathing exercises and yoga will eradicate an infection. The failure of the program to meet its original mandate regarding Lyme disease led Zubek to sound the alarm and to publicly resign, but unfortunately for patients, it appears that what has unfolded at the clinic

prosperity theology, this much remains true: we spend our money on our priorities. Our cell phone is now our diary and so much more than a mobile telephone. The way we spend our time – including that which never find their way into a diary, give a glimpse into our value system.
Finally, vehicles take us to people and places. Someone once said “Show me your friends and I will prophecy your future.” There is real truth in that statement. In the sixth chapter of the book of Matthew in the Bible, Jesus speaks about the value of different things and how they affect us. His
statement ”seek first His (God’s) kingdom and His righteousness” is so profound and yet we often gloss over it with a knowing nod. It represents a shift in thinking; a change to our default setting; a realignment of the way we see our lives and world around us – the glasses of self are removed
and we begin to see value through God’s eyes. When we look at our time, money and company, what do they reflect? It reminds me of that saying “One life, will soon be past. Only that done for Christ will last.” Brian Dean is pastor of Lakeview Church in Quesnel.

s Canada Day draws nigh, do visit us at the Storytellers’ tent. Quesnel Museum and Archives is the proud sponsor of this event. Not all stories are by pioneers. Last year we had some excellent fish stories and a story about immigrating to Canada. Storytelling time is from 11a.m. – 1:30 p.m., ending just in time for the Seniors’ Tea. If you have a story you would like to tell, call me at 250-992-5875 and let me know. And if you are a Senior over 60 and would like to attend the Seniors’ Tea, make a reservation by calling 250-992-5875. Plans to have a higher profile in our community are all coming together as museum commissioners and the manager settled on dates for our upcoming events. PAST TIME June 28 the Quesnel Museum and Archives will have a booth in the Williams Lake Stampede Street Party mall. There will be pictures and cards and all manner of items relating to the Cariboo and Chilcotin area, all this in hopes that the people of Williams Lake, Sugar Cane, Riske Creek, Alexis Creek areas will be able to identify some, any, or all of the people in those pictures. At the same time, two members will be walking around with display trays of artifacts from our Museum. And on the day of the Billy Barker Days Parade, there will be four of those trays complete with artifacts from our Museum. Before the parade commences, commissioners will be carrying trays around, displaying some of our collection and hopefully enticing people with small samplings of just what we have to offer, encouraging them to visit our Museum. Included in the mini-history lesson will be a printed schedule of our events, including free admission to our museum for Saturday and Sunday. Starting in September, the Museum will be hosting a Ladies Night Out, step back in time to a more luxurious aspect of being a woman. Mark Sept. 24 as the date. October will be a Candlelight Tour as we go through the museum and hear the rest of the story. Oct. 24 is the date. November will feature a Men’s Night Out with items of interest to the male of the species, well, some women might like them too. Save the date, Nov. 27. December, as always, features our Christmas Gift Shop Sale with 20 per cent off our regular gift items and books. In January, we want to chase the winter woes away and have a Movie Night. Get into your jammies or not and come down to watch movies about Quesnel and the Cariboo’s historical past. Jan. 23, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. February is Heritage Month and during Heritage Week, Elizabeth Hunter, our museum manager, will be presenting a workshop How to Care for Your Family Treasures. You’ll have to register for this one, as it is certain to be a crowd-pleaser. I do hope you are marking all this on your calendar because in March, during Spring Break, we will invite the children of Quesnel to come down to do some old-fashioned snowshoeing. After getting their exercise, they’ll come in and learn how hot chocolate was made back then and warm up as they do some crafts or watch a movie. We trust there is something for everyone throughout the year. Hope to see you as you ‘pass time’ at the Museum. Honey Affleck is chair of the museum commission and regular Observer contributor.

Logan Godsoe rides the waves to Richmond WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter Taking on a challenge is nothing new for 12-year-old Logan Godsoe. This talented young athlete has been swimming competitively with the Waverides for a year. Logan was selected to participate in a provincial para camp for Swim B.C. in Richmond June 13 – 15 after being selected from all the para swimmers in the province. Logan was born with an
underdeveloped right arm. Because of this he has certain exemptions when participating in swim meets. This allows him to finish the breaststroke and butterfly stroke with only one hand touching the wall, rather than both hands touching the wall at the same time. Logan was also swimming with a cracked collar bone. Despite this, the water is where he feels at home. This camp provided learning opportunities for all
the participants. They would use a Go-Pro to record the swimmers underwater, pointing out any errors in form and providing helpful ways to improve. The camp activities were structured so 31 days of training were confined to just three days. Aside from training in the water, the coaches at the camp also instructed the swimmers in land training, using different stretches and strength training, such as planks, to help exercise and develope the muscles
used for swimming. Though it was not only the training aspect that made this a great experience for the young swimmer, but also the social interaction with all the other camp members as well as coaches. "I loved meeting all the other para swimmers. They were all so nice even though I was the youngest one there," Logan said. "And all the coaches were nice and treated everyone like they are all part of the same swim club." It was three days
of new experiences for Logan, such as jumping off the high dive. Swimming with a crack collar bone made this experience painful for Logan as he dove into the water. "My arm rocketed up and shocked in pain," Logan said. "But the next day I was able to stretch it and it was a lot better." For Logan this was an amazing experience and he has every intention of returning next year if given the opportunity. He found the camp tiring but well worth
the effort. This opportunity was not only a worthwhile experience for Logan but also for coach Jeritt Brink who accompanied the Waverider to Richmond. "This was my first para camp and experience at the B.C. level," Brink said. "It was an experience I won't forget. You see how the young kids push through adversity, connect with one another and how they lift one another spirits. Its truly inspirational." Though Logan had
always felt at home in the water, it was a chance encounter with Waverider coach Jeritt Brink while swimming in a lap lane that ultimately encouraged this swimmer to join. Logan took the opportunity to immerse himself in a sport he truly enjoyed and improve his form. Though the Waveriders season is nearly over, Logan has no doubt he will be in the waters with his fellow Waveriders next year, taking on competitions and always learning ways to improve.

Learning from Stories W
hen I began this journey to BC Children’s Hospital, I don’t think I truly understood the impact that the BC Children’s Hospital has had on our community. I had told myself numerous times this cycling event is about creating awareness in Quesnel, about the importance of BC Children’s Hospital and how we use it, be it families using it for one day or spending weeks and months in the hospital. Many families have been sharing their stories with me and I have been humbled by them. Stories of courage, resiliency of children, heart surgeries, tumor removal, and listening to families tell about bringing their children back home and some families that had children that didn’t make it home. I have shared tears and hugs with many in this community, and thus, when I ride, each pedal stroke will be for all children in hopes that they can share more time with their families. I feel when I am cycling I am carrying these stories with me back to BC
Cycling 530 Children’s Hospital. I have been asked many questions such as: Why are you riding? Are you ready? And my responses have not changed. My purpose is driven in my passion to cycle and in my motivation to inspire or most importantly become inspired. I let people know, I am riding for them. I am riding for the children. I am riding because I am inspired. I am riding because I am passionate about being a positive role model. And in return those young superheros at BC Children’s Hospital have shown me what it is like to be resilient, generous and most importantly not to be overwhelmed by daily activities.

The true superheros are the children that have been or are in BC Children’s. Families have shared their love of the hospital with me. Thus this cycling event is teaching me the importance of being humble, teaching me to be inspired and grow in wisdom and truth. And furthermore allowing me to continually serve this world without ego. I have been taught from a young age the importance of service and giving back, and my personal hope is that for the next generation they too will be inspired to serve without the concern of a reward, to be humble and to grow with wisdom and truth.

ALL DESIGNS, PLANS AND RENDERINGS © COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED
This charming ranch-style home, all on one level, features a spacious patio area at the back that will extend the great room and dining area in the summer months and encourage outdoor living. The covered entry leads into a foyer, which features a view through the open-plan great room to the patio and garden beyond. A coat closet is located to the left, together with a linen cupboard, and a den or fourth bedroom is on the right. The dining room, with an optional built-out buffet, opens up via French doors to the covered portion of the patio, the perfect spot for year-round barbecuing. The kitchen, separated from the dining room by an angled four-seat eating bar, will delight the cook with its optimum counter space and roomy pantry. In the sleeping wing, the master bedroom overlooks the back garden, but is set back from the patio for privacy. The en-suite features a soaker tub with its own glassblock window, as well as a separate shower stall and double sinks. The walk-in closet will provide plenty of space for even the most fashion-conscious couple’s clothing.
MAIN FLOOR PLAN 1857 SQ. FT. (172.5 M2) 9'-0" CEILING HEIGHT

Tip of the Month Most new builds require electrical outlet boxes to be placed 12" off the floor. Adding an extra 4" and placing them 16" inches high, however, can be a lot more convenient and will not affect the look of the room. It's also useful to think about where furniture will be located and place the outlets accordingly; for instance, directly behind side tables instead of behind the sofa, to avoid running unsightly cords along walls unnecessarily.

As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are available with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now autonomously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

Question of the Week Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.
