Parkinsons Awareness in the Spotlight This April

April 7, 2018

April is Parkinson’s awareness month in BC. Phillip Konrad of the 100 Mile House Parkinson’s Support Group says the disease was named for Dr. James Parkinson, after he published the first work on the disease in April over 200 years ago.

The Parkinson Society of British Columbia has a network of more than 50 volunteer-led support groups throughout BC, including in Quesnel and 100 Mile House. More information can be found on the society’s website at www.parkinson.bc.ca.

The Quesnel Parkinson’s Support Group meets at City hall on the second Wednesday of the month at 2:30 PM and the 100 Mile House Parkinson’s support Group meets at the Public Health office in the 100 Mile House Hospital the third Wednesday of the month at 1 PM.

The BX Morning Show

I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!
