And when the wheelchair athlete arrived Friday, some shyly offered their hands, others giggled hello and others tried to feel the wheels of his chair. Some even asked to touch the biceps of the global crusader whose progress they have followed so closely. “While not one of my students would be able to tell you who the prime minister of Canada was, or who the premier was or even what province they live in, they can tell you who Rick Hansen is,” said Sharon Malone, a teacher at a Williams Lake school for children with special needs. Having spent two years travelling through 34 countries and raising more than $8 million for spinal cord research and wheelchair sports, Hansen took his Man-in-Motion message to the children of his home town in the B.C. Interior. And if he had a powerful effect on them, the reverse was even more apparent. It was a more relaxed, more open Hansen who talked about sacrifice and perseverance and the need to give youngsters a personal insight into the world of the disabled. He spent about 40 minutes at the local child development centre meeting pre-schoolers, emotionally disturbed and children with special needs. FOCUS OF RALLY Later, he was the focus of a huge outdoor rally at the Williams Lake junior secondary school attended by about 5,400 children from 36 Cariboo-Chilcotin area schools. The 29-year-old Hansen, who says he and fiancee, Amanda Reid plan to have children of their own, appeared delighted by the children’s enthusiasm and lack of inhibitions. “It's better they ask questions and get the answers than to be sitting back in apprehension. That's how we learn from each other . . . and we want children to grow up with that attitude.” One four-year-old boy asked Hansen why his atrophied legs are so skinny, and Hansen responded with an easy metaphor. “If someone cuts, the telephone cord, you can't communicate with your legs anymore and your legs can’t talk to you. “In those sort of terms they can understand what happened and why my legs won't work,” he explained. “If you just say I broke my back, they still don’t understand why your legs don’t work. It doesn't make sense to them because the back’s up here and the legs are down there.” Hansen spent his teenage years in this town of about 10,000 people — then a community with few facilities for the disabled and even less experience in dealing with them. Just above the Stampede grounds where Hansen was welcomed home sits a huge three-metre tall wheelchair. On its backrest is a simple message: “When Williams Lake is wheelchair accessible, this chair will be removed.” No one is under my illusions that will be soon, but for a rough-neck town accustomed to physical cowboys and an independence of spirit, it is a sharp reminder of its leading role. Spurred by Hansen's steely determination and his persuasive ability to touch a nerve, Williams Lake is probably the most wheelchair-aware of any town. “I don’t think there’s any question that we've become acutely more cognizant of the needs of the disabled because of Rick,” said Mayor Ethel Winger. All new buildings are being made wheelchair accessible, sidewalks have been changed to allow for wheelchair access and the town has unmatched parking facilities for handicapped people. Williams Lake is also about to become the first centre outside Vancouver that can assess and fit young children for electric wheelchairs. “It'll mean that someone from Prince George, say, won't have to travel all the way to Vancouver,” said Gordon Armour. TREATY FIGHT AVOIDABLE self. I right t their treaty rights. The chiefs said the move is aimed Indians are willing to go to jail GERRAND SAYS: KJSS a safe school By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer “It's a beautiful place for a school,” says Bruce Gerrand, standing outside Kinnaird Junior secondary school. He points to stadents playing and the trees surrounding the school. “And these kids are happy here — it’s a good school.” But Gerrand, the principal of KJSS, is distressed these days about what some parents perceive to be a “drug problem” at the school. “We have worked extremely hard to foster a clean image here where par- ents feel safe sending their kids,” Gerrand said in an interview Friday. He was compelled to defend KJSS after reading an article regarding a meeting at Twin Rivers elementary (Castlegar News, Wed., April 1 edition) in which some parents were concerned about student drug use at KJSS. Gerrand said in his three years at KJSS he cannot think of a single student caught for using drugs or alcohol. “This is just not part of the way these kids operate,” he said. “After reading that in the paper my heart sank,” he said. “Parents have said to me, ‘That’s not the KJ we send our kids to.” ” Vice-principal Dino Zanet said the parents of students at KJSS think highly of the school. “It's the parents who will come to our defense,” he said. “We have kids here at an important time in their lives. We'ré well aware of that and we have our eyes open.” Zanet said supervisors not finding any drug or alcohol use has nothing to do with poor supervision. “We simply have not found a trace of drugs and it's not that we're ignoring it,” he said. “We just haven't seen that kind of thing.” Gerrand explained that the drug perception may have come from a time when the KJSS housed older students, up to Grade 9. “Drags were more of a problem five, six, eight, 10 years ago,” said Gerrand. He explained that he thinks Castlegar has experienced an overall cultural change. “I believe there's just not as many kids using drugs in this area as there was, say, a dozen years ago.” Gerrand said KJSS sent a question. airre to parents asking them to list discipline was concerns. Gerrand also their kids, their concerns about the school. Ger- rand said dissatisfaction with school Walking around the school, Gerrand explains that students are happy there.
