City officials remove a blue tarp to unveil the beautiful Rick Hansen monument at the Tourist Discovery Centre before Rick Hansen himself and a crowd of onlookers Monday morning. The display commemorates Hansen’s Man in Motion World Tour and his belief to “Never give up on your dreams.” More than $65,000 of local monies, including $25,000 from Taseko Mines Ltd., were raised for the monument.

Outdoor enthusiasts could help police

B.C. North District RCMP are asking all outdoor enthusiasts to keep an eye out heading into the woods west of Prince George this spring as police renew search efforts in the multiple homicide investigation involving Cody Legebokoff of Vanderhoof.

The result of an investigation was the arrest of Legebokoff for the murder of 15-yearold Loren Leslie.

The subsequent

investigation by the E Division Major Crime Unit and the Prince George RCMP Detachment led to three more murder charges against Legebokoff relating to the deaths of Jill Stuchenko, Natasha Montgomery and Cynthia Maas.

Based on the evidence surrounding the murders of the other women, police are asking all outdoor enthusiasts to assist them and

are especially interested in information as it relates to side roads, logging roads, power lines and gravel pits between Prince George and Vanderhoof, as well as between Vanderhoof and Fort St James.

Police are requesting that if any remains are located that they not be disturbed in any way. Instead the person(s) should make a note of the location, or if possible obtain GPS coordinates and

of Williams Lake and District. Funds raised at the event will support programs for youth in our community.

“The students are in first year and they are completing a course that uses a service learning model for their first year practicum placement. The idea of service learning is to learn by doing and in our case it is to introduce students to a specific area of human service practice in the community. This year we have four projects including the Wii Olympics,” says Jay Goddard, Program Coordinator for the Human

Service Programs at TRU. “The idea came about from our Club brainstorming differ-

She said since Wii is obviously hugely popular with kids and adults alike they decided to put together an event that encourages people to bring their enthusiasm for it from their home out into the community and participate together.

Children under age six will not be left out of the action, as there will be a fun station set aside for the little ones.

Isher Lahal is the Operations Coordinator for the Boys and Girl Club and she said the games were finalized Tuesday stating the board and staff agreed on fun out-

door sports games such as baseball, archery, tennis and gold as well Mario Kart and dance games.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun for the children,” said Lehal.

“They are going to get to experience a mock Olympics style game that’s more fun than competitive.”

Johnson said there will be plenty of prizes up for grabs, including a grand prize draw for a Wii game console.

And winning teams will be awarded medals during the closing ceremonies. Participants will be able to register for the event starting at 12 p.m. The registration fee for individual participants is $10 and $25 for families.

Cancer journey inspires book’s author Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Originally from Saskatchewan, Candace Weimer has recently moved to the Cariboo and is now actively promoting her book ‘When the World Dropped in on Me’ – all about her journey with cancer.

“I am really lucky to be alive and now I see myself as an official spokesperson for stem cell transplants,” said Weimer. “Everyday is a blessing.”

Weimer underwent a stem cell transplant in November of 2005 and with chances stacked up against her, 4 out of 10 survive, she has set out to pay forward the good she has received in her life.

“I am hoping when people are done with the book they pass it on to someone they think

Police respond to fight

Two men were arrested Friday afternoon after police responded to a fight in progress at the Williams Lake Courthouse.

A man and woman in their 20s suffered lacerations and bruising to their heads as a result of being struck on the head with an improvised club-type weapon just after the lunch hour.

RCMP responded immediately to the incident and located a 24-year-old and 52-yearold male and arrested them for assault with a weapon.

Also on Friday, at approximately 9:00 p.m, a delivery driver for Domino’s Pizza was the victim of a robbery at the intersections of 2nd Avenue North and Borland Street in Williams Lake.

The driver was attacked by a group of individuals who fled on foot after the incident.

The RCMP are asking if anyone witnessed this incident or has any information pertaining to this investigation to please call the Williams Lake Detachment at 250-392-6211 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477)

want it getting dusty on a shelf.”

Her book is aimed to give cancer patients a lighter look and a more humorous look at dealing with cancer through someone else’s story of survival.

“I thought it would be nice to give (cancer patients and their caretakers) something to read that wasn’t so negative and theorized,” she said. “There really isn’t much you can do but laugh at the disease once you’re in it for the long haul.”

The content for the book is made up from Weimer’s personal journal entries, notes and emails from her journey of being diagnosed, through to the transplant, and the crucial time afterwards.

“I am a single parent, and the thoughts and feelings I was having at the time were very personal, I didn’t want to download them onto my friends and family,” said Weimer.

“So I started journaling

my inner thoughts and feelings.”

As for the book, Weimer said it was never intentionally written to be a book, but she had all her journal entries in a binder on a table and a friend took interest. Weimer said she took the journal entries home and read them, coming back to Weimer stating she had to put them in a book for other people to read.

“The book was spun out of my experience,” said Weimer.

She said she has been successful in getting the book in major hospitals and cancer centres across western Canada, and just hopes people find comfort and help from the book.

“People are still very afraid of cancer and shy away from books about cancer,” she said.

“I have a lot of positive feedback from the book – lots of cancer patients tell me I nailed it with how they were feeling and what they

No sense in Money Sense Last week, MoneySense magazine put out a ‘Top places to live in Canada’ with 179 communities being evaluated and Williams Lake ranking at the bottom of the list.

Money Sense also put together the ‘Top 10 worst places to live in Canada’ taking the bottom communities from the best list – Williams Lake came second.

Not good, but when you ask anyone who is from here or travels

here often you would hear a different story.

You never stop hearing what a beautiful place it is here, how nice the people are, and how the community is growing.

Yes, Williams Lake has its down sides just like any other community – we have high crime statistics per capita but they have decreased in the last few years, we have a slow economy with mills at minimum production but there are

mine expansions and construction on the horizon.

The rankings may have calculated based on numbers, but by people who don’t live here and who don’t know how great a community Williams Lake is. So many of us are proud to call this city home, and it unfair for us to be judged against big cities such as Ottawa. We don’t have the amenities, or economy they do – but

we do have many wonderful people who will gladly shake their heads at Williams Lake ranking on MoneySense’s list. After all it is just a list in a silly magazine trying to sell subscriptions.

We Williams Lakers know how wonderful the Puddle is to live in.

I think Rick Hansen would disagree with Williams Lake ranking number two for worst place to live in Canada – don’t you?

What makes a woman?

Are women who are born men real women?

That is the question being raised this week when Jenna Talackova was revealed as being born a boy and disqualified from the Miss Universe Canada pageant. The 23-year-old was one of 65 contestants and was disqualified for being dishonest in her application stating she was naturally born female. The pageant has said no discrimination was intended and

this is not the first time contestants have been disqualified for this reason. But why must the clause stating the contestants must been naturally born female even exist, what is the reasoning for keeping these women (that is what they believe they are) out the pageant? To an average person on the street Talackova would look like any other 6 ft blonde beauty and would never be thought of as a man so why does

it matter in this case that she is not naturally born that way?

Our society is all about equal rights, and with the support Talackova has received online via petitions and social media comments it seems there are large parts of the population that agrees with equality.

Of course for all those that support Talackova there are those who don’t and who agree she should not be allowed to compete.

The pageant will tell you it’s mostly about her being dishonest, but obviously she had a dream and was willing to risk being ousted.

Rules are rules though and no amount of signatures is going to change the pageant’s rules, so for Miss Talackove will have to find another pageant to be apart of until Miss Canada Universe is willing to accept women who may not have been born that way.

Courtney Taylor Photoo Safari Jeff and his 'Living Wild' show came to Boitanio Mall last week with all his reptiles. At the end of the show six-yearold Cole Skerry and his sister Calleigh, 4, checked out Jeff's turtles.

Brace yourselves, it’s pothole season in the Cariboo Once a week we head into 100 Mile House to shop and do chores. This is always preceded by Carmen saying “C,mon lets go!”

Now I have learned a few things along the way and “C,mon let’s go” does not mean at this very moment. In fact, by the time she has put on her make-up, done her hair, made the bed and vacuumed the hall carpet, then we go.

I have too often been left standing by the back door for twenty minutes with my coat on. This is the point at which Carmen usually calls out; “Did you put on your underarm deodorant?” (Well you know I haven’t.) Could be worse I guess, I have been known to sit in the car with the motor running spending thirty dollars worth of gas

on idle.

Back to the subject at hand. It is now pothole season in the Cariboo.

This is major a challenge along with the ingrained ruts, pregnant does and the occasional chaotic moose running alongside the vehicle.

However I have made it all into a game, how many potholes can I avoid while driving at 60 to 80 kliks? I’m getting pretty good at it.

(Well okay, you have to discount the two times

I almost ditched the car.) Carmen of course, figures I’m only proving my reckless nature and she is more worried about a filthy car covered with mud. I remind her that a car wash only staves off the inevitable, because you always dirty it up on the drive back home.

She is unmoved.

Heaven forbid you get a flat under these circumstances. I prefer the standing along the edge of the road looking helpless scenario, as there’s always a good chance some guy comes by in a pickup and stops to do the job for you. Cariboo courtesy is worth taking advantage of. Being a newcomer upcountry I am told by the resident experts to carry a chain saw, an axe, extra gas, spare windshield wash-

er stuff, and a stout length of rope. Jumper cables, an air compressor for low tires, some bottled water, a flashlight, candles, some power bars, a blanket and a bottle of rum, would also be good additions. And don’t forget the tire chains.

By now I’m looking for a place to sit.

What if I do break down in the middle of nowhere? I tell Carmen calling a taxi is not an acceptable option. Cell phones don’t work in our area and carrier pigeons are out of fashion, so what next? One could always send up smoke signals from a hasty fire, since there’s plenty of fuel around from the dead pines.

However fire and smoke are too common occurrences up here to amount too much.

Trusting to fate has never has been that successful for me either but I do usually end up allowing that the universe will not let me down and somehow the car will start after its had its prolonged rest or some backyard mechanic will swing by and get me going in

no time. I guess you may have gathered by now, that I can’t fix anything more complicated than hitting at it with a hammer. Even then...

So back to the potholes. You could always wait for the grader, sit it out at home with a beer and the daily bad

news to catch up on.

This to me is the best option as time is on my side. Let it snow, let it blow or rain down hard because at my age, to quote Rhett Butler in ‘Gone With the Wind’; “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!” (I know this ages me, but what the heck.)

Mayor Kerry Cook split the vote in the last election for mayor, in Williams Lake.

Scott Nelson and Walt Cobb had garnered 60 more votes than Cook.

She is the first Mayor to win back-to-back elections in 20 years.

Congratulations, again.

It looks like a vote split will happen in the next election and Adrian Dix will be our next Premier.

The Liberals and Conservatives will split the right and the

NDP will come to power with around 36 percent of the popular vote.

The Liberals will tell people they are the most fiscally responsible, while the NDP will say its time for a change. The Conservatives will also echo the same comments, bring in new faces to government.

There is a byelection coming up on April 19th in Port Moody-Coquitlam and in the ChilliwackHope ridings.

Normally the party in power does not win by -elections. So it will be a tough fight for the incumbent Liberals.

It’s like shopping with your best friends at BFF Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor A favorite past time of best friends is to go shopping together and that is where Jennifer

“It’s truly like shopping with best friends, I have customers tell me all the time it’s their happy place.”

Many will know the store located at 65 S First Avenue as Designer Consigner, but Jennifer started the transition from consignment items to new items about three years ago and the time finally came to have all new product, hence the new name.

“I started shifting towards new product, and the customers decided in the end, the new product was clearly selling more.”

The fashions she

She said when she gets a deal through buying wholesale and through factory’s she passes the savings onto her customers.

Hansen relay tour makes its mark on Williams Lake Courtney Taylor and Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Sunshine and cheers greeted hometown hero Rick Hansen as he made a special two-day stop in Williams Lake Sunday and Monday during his Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay Tour.

Sunday marked Day 215 of the relay, and Hansen’s return to his hometown where he says all of his hopes and dream were realized.

Ranchland Honda was the starting point of the relay Sunday afternoon, which saw 27 excited local participants taking their turn wearing the sterling silver Rick Hansen Medal as they ran, walked or wheeled a portion of the route along side Hansen, with more taking part on Tuesday.

Val Biffert was one of those who participated in the relay and said it was an over-thetop experience that she is so happy to have been apart of.

“It was an emotional experience as we went around our group and explained what our difference was and who or what had made that difference,” said Biffert.

The route, which saw families lined up to see Hansen and his team of ‘difference makers’ come

by Western Avenue and Midnight Drive, brought the relay to the Cariboo Memorial Complex where RCMP dressed in Red Serge were waiting to escort Hansen into

Rick Hansen returns to Columneezta Monday morning where he was once a student to give words of inspiration to the students Hansen was in town for his stop in Williams Lake for the 25th Anniversary Relay of his Man in Motion Tour. a loud, packed arena of fans awaiting his arrival Sunday evening.

Hansen spoke to the crowd of his excitement of being back in his hometown celebrating the 25th anniversary of his Man in Motion Tour; reflecting on the advancements made in spinal cord research but also saying his “best work is yet to come,” dedicating his life through the Rick Hansen Foundation to building a stronger Canada and a better world by supporting accessible and inclusive communities.

Monday morning, Hansen visited his old high school, Columneetza, where he had inspirational words for students and staff.

“I met role models who encouraged me – teachers and coach-

es were a huge part of my life,” said Hansen.

“They helped me realize that no where in the definition of an athlete did it say you had to use your legs to be one.”

Hansen spoke to the students about his journey so far and left the group with words of encouragement.

“No matter where you are, no matter what you do – you can make a difference.”

After his presentation, students rushed down to get their chance to meet Hansen, take a picture and get an autograph. Grade 8 student, Chantelle Lebron was ecstatic to get Hansen’s

autograph and to speak with him.

“He is just so inspiring to us, the fact that he wheeled around the world is amazing,” she said. “It’s so cool that he is from (Williams Lake), he truly is a hero.”

Later that morning at the unveiling of the new Rick Hansen monument at the Tourist Discovery Centre, Hansen was moved by the support of the community.

“This is overwhelming, it really is. To be here and to see the community rally around the continuing journey in our dream and to have it be a symbol that we’re not done. It’s a real source of inspiration for me.”

Hansen was just 15 years old when, coming back from a fishing trip west of Williams Lake, sustained a spinal cord injury in a motor vehicle accident.

At 27 he began his Man in Motion Tour, and for 26 months wheeled more than 40,000 kilometres through 34 countries raising awareness about the potential of people with disabilities, creating accessible and inclusive communities and finding a cure.

He currently lives in Richmond, B.C. with his wife and three daughters.

ABOVE: The Williams Lake Judo club held it's second annual throw-a-thon on Monday night - the senior member threw each other for five mintues, here Rudy Klaue throws his partner to the ground.

Little Brady Wilson gets ready to throw his partner to the ground during the judo club's throw-a-thon Monday night. The boys were the youngest and managed 30 throws in three minutes.

Judo Club hosts throw-a-thon Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor The 2nd Annual Judo Throw-a-thon took place Monday night, with just over 400 throws.

The club’s coach and organizer Jeff DiMarco said it was a success.

“The idea of a throw-a-thon came last year, something related to judo instead of us out collecting bottles to raise money for the club,” said DiMarco.

For three minutes

the junior members of the club repeatedly threw each other to the ground using different techniques and quick moves to reach high number of throws, while the senior members went at it for five minutes.

“It’s a great way to show friends and family judo,” he said.

“I like judo because there is no hitting – a good throw where the person lands on their back can end a match.”

DiMarco also said judo is great self-defense and is good for women to learn.

As for the throw-a-thon, it’s the judo club’s biggest fundraiser of the year and DiMarco said the goal for the throw-a-thon

was between 400-500 throws, he said they made it but were a little down from last year’s 426 throws.

“The members collected pledges for the last couple weeks,” said DiMarco. “ The final numbers aren’t in yet, but last year we raised over $2,600.”

DiMarco said they are a small club, but have a core group that keeps coming.

“Judo scares some people, but it’s great exercise and once you learn how to fall – you don’t get hurt.”

The season is wrapping up now, but DiMarco said anyone is welcome to come try it and the first two classes are free.

Families and friends will enjoy the nutritious refreshments and fabulous prizes.

March is Nutrition Month and we are promoting healthy eating through this annual event. This year’s Nutrition Month theme is dedicated to busting up popular food and Nutrition Myths.

Nutrition information has never been more accessible than it is right now.

The internet and social media are exploding with nutrition advice which can also bring about confusion and

partial truths that are often not be based on the real facts.

Some myths seem to hang on forever (the high protein diet) while new popular myths pop up (Gluten free is the way to be) as food and nutrition trends change. Dietitians are a credible source for the most current thinking on food and nutrition that can help set the record straight.

“Get the Real Deal from Dietitians” Visit

Nutrition Month www.dietitians.ca to get the truth on 39 most popular & common Nutrition Myths.

Tatjana Bates, Dietitian from Interior Health invites Williams Lake to visit the Nutrition booth and join in on the fresh air and fun!

NEW VIDEO RELEASES HOP Fred (James Marsden), an outof-work slacker, accidentally hits a bunny (voiced by Russell Brand) with his car. The bunny, named E.B., has run away from Easter Island because he doesn’t want to take over from his father as the Easter Bunny—he wants to be a professional drummer instead.

Fred, who is initially startled by a talking bunny, takes E.B. to stay with him at the mansion he’s house sitting. As Fred struggles with the world’s worst houseguest, both will learn what it takes to finally grow up.

Last Week’s Answers

Virgo, you’re very good at marching to the beat of a different drummer. But sometimes it can be to your advantage to fall in line with the pack if it serves your best interest.

Celebrate spring, enjoy the changing season Say goodbye to the carb laden dishes of winter. We can enjoy the first days of spring and treat ourselves to recipes that reflect the difference of a new season and gives flavour to tasty eating.

While there are not much growing yet in our gardens, I do have some oregano, thyme and sage that are now clear of snow, and I can enjoy these herbs now.

We are not in the climate that has a lot of early spring vegetables as they tend to grow a little slower because of the whether, although some years we do get those tasty spring veg-

ies like asparagus and radishes ahead of time.

I have some bulbs starting to stick their noses above the ground, so here in the north part of town where we don’t get as much sun, it is nice to see the spring growth.

When you thing of spring meals what

comes to mind? Lamb is a good spring dish along with some light soups.

To me, fresh vegetables says spring.

Poaches eggs in spicy tomato sauce also hints of spring, along with broccoli and cabbage.

Asparagus comes early in the spring and is excellent in salads or separate. I like asparagus cooked on the barbecue. A little oil and some garlic salt spread on these vegies and tossed on the barbecue until they are cooked.

It doesn’t take long... so put asparagus on the barbecue right at the end of cooking other

Leo, it may be time for a complete makeover. You’ve earned the right to some indulgence, so treat yourself to a mini-vacation and some pampering.

goodies for a meal.

Asparagus Salad with Sweet Pepper Confetti

1/3 cup of olive oil 2 tbsp red wine vinegar 1 tsp of grainy mustard 3 cloves of garlic minced ½ tsp of seal salt 1/4 tsp of ground pepper 2 pound of asparagus ½ red pepper diced ½ yellow pepper diced Put olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a jar with a lid, then shake it and set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil, then plunge in asparagus.

Cook until tender but still firm. Drain an put into cold ice water to stop cooking and keep the nice green colour.

Leave in cold water for about five minutes. Pat dry the asparagus and drizzle with the dressing. Sprinkle the red and yellow diced peppers over the asparagus when ready to serve.

You could also add in some salt and vinegar chips, crushed and also some nice smoked salmon broken up into small pieces. There are so many additions to put into this dish. Try a taste of spring soon.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Not every day can be an exciting day, Libra. If you make the most of what you’re working with, you can make boring moments a little more enjoyable, especially with friends.

Scorpio, expect to tackle work projects with renewed vigor this week. That extra hop in your step will enable you to get everything done without breaking a sweat.

Sagittarius, speak your mind when others ask your advice. Don’t be afraid to share your opinions, even if those opinions are bound to ruffle some feathers.

Capricorn, this week provides the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends. Use some unforeseen downtime to do just that and enjoy the much-needed respite.

Aquarius, others prove especially grateful of your efforts this week.

Be gracious when accepting praise and spread some of your own as well. Wednesday proves to be fun.

Pisces, you have a lot of supporters who want to help you with whatever they can. Make the most of this generosity.
