WOW! Again, I say, WOW!! It was quite
an honour and an awesome experi-
ence to be Paralympic torchbearer 144.
I was part of the final 24-hour torch re-
lay. The flame was carried by numer-
ous torchbearers around the clock and
ended with the lighng of the large
Paralympic Cauldron at the end of the
opening ceremonies on Friday, March
12th. I met other torchbearers at 11:30
p.m. on Thursday evening. I was in-
formed that I had an addional task todo along with carrying the torch. I’ll say
more about that later.
It was 1:40 a.m.. I saw the flame com-
ing from a block away. I could already
feel the excitement building inside of
me. I held out my torch as the torch-
bearer before me came and stood in
front of me for the ‘kiss of the flame’.
My torch was lit. I now had the flame!
I really had the flame!! We did a ‘high-
five’ and I was on my way heading down
Robson Street. I had the whole street to
myself. I did two doughnut twirls with
my wheelchair in the middle of the in-
tersecon of Robson and Burrard, nor-
mally one of the busiest in downtown
Vancouver. How cool was that? My
experience gets beer - I was selected
with the special task of lighng the 2
a.m. cauldron at Robson Square. It was
lit every two hours throughout the re-
lay. I was among the few that had this
honourable task. I had no idea as to
how overwhelming the experience o
carrying the torch would be. This most
definitely was one of the proudest and
honourable moments of my life.
I was also a volunteer for both the
Olympics and Paralympics. I was a host
for the Olympics and spent most of myme outside of the Waterfront SkyTrain
Staon giving direcons to people to
find the large outdoor Olympic Caul-
dron and various pavilions. It was fun
telling people where to go. I also en
joyed meeng and geng to know
some of the other volunteers that
worked with. I was also a ‘Ceremony

opening ceremonies. My involvement
with the opening ceremonies began in
December. It was cool to see the vari-
ous parts of the show develop and come
together. We had to keep the content
of the show a secret. I have to say thatit was sooo hard to stay quiet for sooo
long. I hope you agree with me when I
say what an awesome show!
Many have said that hosng the Olym-
pics and Paralympics would be a once
in a lifeme experience. This rings so
very true for me. I have been pleasantly
surprised at how profound this experi-
ence has been. The ‘awe factor’ came
to me during the Olympics when Alex-
andre Bilodeau won the first Canadiangold medal on Canadian soil. I was really
touched and moved by the strong rela-
onship he has with his brother, Frederic,
who has cerebral palsy. It is a refreshing
reminder that many families with cere-
bral palsy doflourish and the work we do
as an Associaon is very worthwhile. The
two brothers truly live CPABC’s mission
statement - both raise awareness about
CP, connue to reach for their highest
potenal and are realizing their place asequals in our diverse society. Their broth-
erly embrace on the ski hill, afer Alex’s
golden run, for me, bridged the two set
of games together. It was then that I real-
ized that the Olympics and Paralympics
are more than just sports.
As a torchbearer, I was truly touched and
moved by the spirit of the games. With
the help of a close friend, I was able to
purchase the torch. With this torch, Inow off er to share this spirit with you all.
I can be available if you would like to see
and even touch the torch. The torch sll
holds the power of the flame and always
will.
Your President,
Craig Langston
Dear CPABC,Thanks so much for deciding to pick me for this
year’s bursary. It means so much to me. I’ve de-
cided to buy a computer laptop and a printer for
my work experience class at Kwantlen Polytechnic
University in Langley to update my resume and to
do class projects. Eventually when this course is
done I would like to move out into an apartment
to allow me to become more independent. I would
also like to have a career that is right for me. This
money is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Angela Schuster

TO RAISE . TO REACH . TO REALIZ
ow sasfying to find CPABC’s Dis-
bility Awareness Presentaons for El-
mentary Schools are having a real im-
act on the way youngsters perceive a
erson who has a disability!
he following excerpts were takenrom leers sent to Tammy and PADS
ervice Dog, Breeze, from grades
our and five at Annieville Elementary
chool in Delta, afer their January
0th presentaon there.
I never knew that cerebral palsy was
brain injury and it a ff ects your mus-
les. I learned there is always a way to
et past barriers, like going through,
round, over, and under.”
“I learned how (Paci fi c Assistance Ser-
vice Dog) Breeze helps you with the
lights and with cooking.”
“It’s cool that you get to use cool ma-
chines.”
“Just because you look di ff erent on theoutside it doesn’t mean anything on
the inside.”
“You really encouraged me to look at
things di ff erently.”
It’s grafying to read comments like
these. They indicate that our message
is geng through to young people.
Kids love the real-life stories about
geng around physical barriers and
giving them the opportunity to inter-
act with a real person who has a dis-
ability is key to promong inclusion
and removing atudinal barriers for
the next generaon.
Finally – PADS Service Dog Breeze,
the Golden Retriever, is amazing but don’t let her help with the cooking!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM ANNIEVILLE
The Cerebral Palsy Associaon of BC’s
(CPABC) Speaker’s Bureau provides
informave and engaging presenta-
ons to schools, clubs, businesses,
organizaons, and other groups. This
crucial service off ers informaon on a
variety of topics pertaining to cp, from
disability awareness to aeology.
The Elementary School Disability
Awareness Presentaon Program con-
nues to gain ground. This past year,
Tammy & PADS Service Dog Breeze
the golden retriever have visited 17
elementary schools in the Metro
Vancouver area with their message
of disability as just another aspect of
human diversity.
Elementary school-age kids are very
open to learning how to help their
peers, and to looking at disability in a
diff erent light. Tammy’s stories about
growing up as a normal kid who hap-
pened to have cp helps students to
get the point, as demonstrated by
some of their quesons.
The Grade 4 class at Annieville Ele-
mentary School in Delta, for instance,
wanted to know what sports Tammy
played as a youngster; they wanted to
know more about her job; they asked
thought ul quesons about how she
manages diff erent daily acvies,
and of course they wanted to know
how PADS Service Dog Breeze makes
her life easier.
Tammy and PADS Service Dog Breeze
will be at several Surrey schools in
March and April, including Bey Huff ,
Cindrich, and Coast Meridian.
Join her at the Vancouver School
Board’s Post-Secondary Transion In-
formaon Forum on March 29 at the
Vancouver Board of Educaon Centre,
1580 West Broadway in Vancouver
from 3:30 pm to 7:00pm, and at Lan-
gara College’s Disability Awareness
Day “Abilies Unlimited” taking place
at Langara College on April 13 from
10:00am to 2:30 pm. Tammy will
also be aending a Transion Fair for
students with developmental disabili-
es and their parents or caregivers
at the South
Arm Commu-
nity Hall, 9020
Williams Road
in Richmond,
on April 17th
from 10:00am to 2:00 pm, as we
as the Abundant Life 2010 Informa
on Fair for South Asian Families with
Children with Developmental Disabil
ies, taking place at Walter Moberl
Elementary School, 1000 East 59th
Avenue in Vancouver, on Saturday
April 24 from 10:00am to 3:00pm..
The CPABC is always looking for new
opportunies to provide informa
on and awareness; we encourage

Cerebral Palsy Associaon of BC joined
all of Canada in congratulang Alexan-
dre Bilodeau, Canada’s first Olympic
athlete to win Gold on Canadian soil.
Alexandre’s brother Frederic, one of
over 50,000 Canadians with cerebral
palsy, is also one of the millions of Ca-
nadians cheering for our athletes.
The generous spirit of the Olympic
Games recognized the hard work,
dedicaon, and commitment of world-
class athletes, and of the supports
behind them – families and friendsall over the world, with and without
disabilies, with and without cerebral
palsy.
People who have cerebral palsy are
just like people who don’t have cere-
bral palsy in many ways – we might be
lucky enough to have Olympic cham-
pions for brothers and sisters, and
we might be Olympic champions our-
selves.
CPABC president Craig Langston stated,
“the Quebec brothers’ story speaks of
inclusion. Part of our mission st
ment is to raise awareness, to r
our potenal and to realize ourse
as equals in society, I think Alex
Frederic live that.”
Craig Langston- who has cerebral p
said, ”When you saw them embrac
the end, it was just two brothers s
ing that moment, and you didn’tthe disability.”
Bravo, Alexandre Bilodeau!

To assist those living with Cere•
Palsy to reach their maximum

TO RAISE . TO REACH . TO REALIZ
We have two sons, Michael and Nicho-s. Nicholas has special needs. I can’t
ay when Mike realized that his young-r brother had special needs. Mike did
ot ask quesons but kept his thoughtso himself. One of my favorite pictures
where Mike is feeding Nick. Mikemust have been four and Nick three. It
obvious that Mike did not realize yethat his younger brother had specialeeds. As me went by, I think Mikeesented the fact that Nick was nonerbal because he could not communi-ate with him.
When Mike was seven we lived in Bei-ng, China. I remember his grade twoeacher calling me and saying she waso sorry. She had no idea that Mikead a brother with special needs. Isked her how she found out. She ex-ained that she was teaching her class
he emergency procedures incase of an earthquake – not to stand
nder doors, to go under tables, etc.hen Mike asked her what to do withs lile brother. “Well”, she said, “hest does what you do, right?” Mike
oked at her like what a silly thing toay and said, “My brother can’t walk,un or talk; so in case of an earth-uake, what do I do with him?” Sheas speechless.
When Mike turned 11 and Christmasas approaching, he asked for a spe-al present – a baby brother. He hadfen menoned wanng a nice pair of oller-skates so I was a bit surprised byhe request.
Me: “So you want a baby brother
or Christmas?”Mike: “Yes. That is what I want.”Me: “Hmm. Well, you know it take
bout nine months to make a baby;o it won’t be here on me for Christ-
mas.”My son was at the age when kids don’t
elieve in Santa Clause anymore. Heso had not figured out how long it
akes for babies to come.Mike: “Oh?” (He thinks for a lile
hile.) “It’s okay, I can wait.”
Me: “And you know, you wish for ababy brother, but it could be a baby sis-ter.”Mike: “Oh?” (Again he thinks for a lit-tle while. Isn’t life complicated some-mes?) “Well, she is going to pull myhair and scream. I really would rather
have a baby brother.”Me: “Mike, I can’t tell for sure, it couldbe a lile girl – nobody can tell thosethings for sure.”Mike: “Oh well…I guess it’s okay.”Me: “And you know, he or she couldalso be special needs, like Nick. Wealso can’t be sure about those things.”Mike looks up, his eyes wide with dis-belief, “Really Mom. How can it bepossible?”I sigh, my heart feeling heavy. “Mikeit’s one of those things. It may or maynot happen but I can’t tell you for surethat the baby you wish for will be nor-mal. Those things can happen.”Mike remains silent for a long while,sighs again and says, “Then no, I don’twant anybody. I don’t want anotherbrother like Nick. I want a real brother.Can I get roller- skates then?”I let out a sigh of relief but at the sameme felt so sad for my lile boy who
did not have the brother he wishesfor.Now at 22, Mike sees his brother fromme to me – mostly at family din-ners. We always did our best not toput on him the burden of looking aferhis brother. Did we do that too well,maybe? Should we have had him moreinvolved? It is difficult for parents toknow the right thing to do with sib-lings. I usually find that we go fromone extreme to the other. We ask too
much or not enough. Some parentsgive too much aenon to the specialneeds child thus neglecng the needsof the other children or their partner.There is a song tled, “The Life thathas Chosen Me”. It sings of the dreamchild all parents expect and how theirlife is shaered when a special child ar-rives. It speaks of how much parentsgo through and how important it isthat their family and friends accept the
new member of their family.
When Nick graduated from high schooMike, again, put us to the test of faparenng. He said Nick ought to movout. I was aghast. Mike insisted would be good for Nick and good fous, afer all Mike himself lef to live ocampus, didn’t he?
“Yes,” I said, “but, but…surely you understand that Nick has diff erent, muchigher needs?”“Well”, my son declared, “you can takcare of his needs in his own place, canyou? You should at least give it a try.”I believe my son, Mike, was older thahis years. We followed his advice at great financial cost. We could not really aff ord it and our rerement savings went into this venture but wwere willing to try. I went and hirea live-in-caregiver to live with Nick anwe looked in our neighbourhood foa wheelchair accessible two bedroomapartment. I could let my special chilgo but he had to live as close as possible. We were lucky. There was a vacancy ten blocks away from our placeIt was a lot of work to organize Nicklife away from us.It has been a year now and my husbanand myself have been happy empt
nesters ever since! Nicholas comes tour place once or twice a week anwe go to his. If someone were to teus that Nick was coming back to livwith us we would say, “No way!” If his sick I will go to his place, stay therand cook him chicken soup. I shall dwhatever every loving mother wouldo if her 21 year old is sick, but Nicis not moving back in with us. Yehe is very vulnerable but parents canot protect their children forever. W
need to put safeguards in place as beswe can and trust our community ansociety for the rest. In spite of Nickdisabilies, he has as normal a life acan be with friends, acvies and outreach volunteer work. I truly believthat most parents would wish thechild with special needs to have a nomal life outside the family home. This a dream that requires eff ort, creavity and adequate support from govern
ment, but it can come true.

SNOW TIRES!PRINTED, WITH PERMISSION,
FROM GIZMO NEWSLETTER
WINTER 2010
Snow is a constant problem for wheel-
chair users. Even afer roads and path-
ways have supposedly been cleared,
there are great mounds of ice and
slush to negoate. Wheelchairs just
were not designed to handle obstacles
like this, unl London, ON, Tetra vol-
unteer Joe Ruitenbeek came along. He
had been approached by a client who
had had enough of feeling trapped
indoors every me it snowed—and it
snows a fair deal in that part of the
world—because his power chair could
not make it across neighbourhood
sidewalks. Inventors have created off -
road power chairs complete with cat-
erpillar tracks, but the client, Bill Birch,
required a machine that was equally
at home on carpets and hardwood
floors. What he needed was snow
res, said Ruitenbeek. His first aempt
was to add extra tread to the exisng
res on Birch’s mid-wheel drive Jazzy
wheelchair. “I took extra res and cu
strips out, so they looked like a heavy
rubber re, and tried to put them ove
the exisng res,” he explained. “But
just couldn’t get it to stretch enough to
go over the original re. “But I found
a fellow that handles an array of res
I found a re with a heavy tread, de
signed for a roto-ller.” The new re
increased the overall wheel diamete
by three inches. This, of course, raised
the chair one-and-a-half inches off the
ground, requiring Ruitenbeek to move
the fenders and lower the front an
p wheels by the same amount.
Do you need to overcome a barrier?
