With more than 73,000 of Ontario's elementary school teacher's preparing to strike the question on most peo-ple's mind is simple: why?

The Jan. 8 announce-ment from David Clegg, president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of On-tario (ETFO), that put school boards "on notice" that teach-ers could pottentially strike if, he says, "signifi cant prog-ress" is not made in contract negotiations by Feb. 18.

Initially, negotiations for a new contract were hap-pening between the province and the ETFO but have since moved back to individual school board level. The rea-soning being that the prov-ince is putting in the lion's share of the money, said Up-per Canada District School Board (UCDSB) Chair Greg Pietersma.

"The province had put a package forward that would have given a 12.5 per cent increase over four years and also includes a number of en-hancements," he said. "(The province) made it clear to all parties that if a deal was not worked out, that offer would come off the table."

The union, last month, al-lowed the deadline to pass on a proposed "framework" deal that was accepted by all other public school teachers in Ontario. Now the province

has made it clear, through Education Minister Kath-leen Wynne, that the original deal is no longer available and it would only be funding a four per cent increase over two years.

Anything above and be-yond that has to be fi nanced at a local level.

"The tri-lateral negotia-tons between boards, the union and the ministry failed to come up with a provincial agreement," said Pietersma. "This is unlike the other bargaining units, which all came to an agreement in the timeline put forward by the province."

Teachers could be on strike as early as March if negotiations fail.

UCDSB has more than 21,000 elementary students, 13,000 secondary students and employs more than 5,500 staff.

The board covers Lanark, Leeds, Grenville, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott and Russell.

The Ottawa Catholic Dis-trict School Board (OCDSB) has 80 schools with more than 39,000 students.

If the teachers do in fact go on strike in March, it could leave more than 50,000 stu-dents without proof of the year's education they just received.

The Weekender will con-tinue to proviode updates as they occur.

With February being re-markable only for its blahs,

the fi ne folks over at Gallery 6 have decided to throw an-other art show.

In the latter half of last year, Nadia Gray and Gal-lery 6 hosted its fi rst such

show with an overwhelming response; so much so that they’re accepting entries through the month of Janu-ary for the Feb. 6 vernissage that will showcase the tal-

ented artists who enter.“This is all artists - all

mediums - on the theme of surreal,” said Gray. ‘Open your eyes and escape from reality’ is the theme being put forward by Gray and the ladies of Gallery 6.

Gray related the story of a local photographer who in-sisted that her shots weren’t going to be entered before caving to the pressure and entering her photos; which went on to win.

“She’s entering this time,” said Gray. “It’s (the show) to get people enthused about themselves and about art.”

Artists can drop off art at Gallery 6, at 126 Prescott St., on Jan. 30 from 11:00-6:00 p.m. and on Jan. 31 from 11:00-4:00 p.m. All submis-sions must be related to the surreal theme, be framed or ready for display and in-clude a short biography with all the pertinent contact and residential information. The cost of entry is $5.

All artists whose work is not selected will be notifi ed by Feb. 1, and Gallery 6 asks that they pick up their art by Feb. 2 between 11:00-6:00 p.m.

For more information, contact Gray at 613-258-2267, or by e-mailing [email protected].

SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER

On Saturday Jan. 10, 2009, a remarkable event happened at the North Gren-ville Municipal Centre: The 2009 Skate Canada Eastern Ontario Special Olympic Regional & Invitational Competition.

Spectators gathered to cheer on the 27 fi gure skat-ers representing the Glouces-ter Skating Club and Skate Kingston who were partici-pating in this event.

The skaters grace and pas-sion was clearly visible from the stands, as their smiles stretched from ear to ear with each passing perfor-mance by the skaters.

Two of the competitors from the event will eventu-ally be making their way to Boise, Idaho, to compete in Worlds’ Special Olympics.

As a spectator to the event, the skater’s enthusiasm for the sport, along with their support of one another was really inspiring to watch.

They continually con-gratulated one another and cheered their competitors on throughout the day, regard-less of whether they were in the fi rst or last position.

From an outsider’s stand-point it was a learning expe-rience; it allowed a greater sense of understanding to be developed and a mutual re-spect to form between spec-tators and skaters.

The skaters had no inhibi-tions, and freely expressed themselves with the use of music and skating skills.

The Kemptville Skating Club was granted the wonder of hosting such an event.

Debbie Moore, the Lo-cal Organizing Committee – Eastern Ontario Section (EOS) Special Olympics, organized a successful day along with the help of many volunteers.

Skate Canada sponsored the event, as did many busi-nesses in the community.

The program cover seemed to sum up a great day, with the quote, “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”

As families, fellow skat-ers and volunteers watched many great performances, it became clear that this was a special day for all and one that will be remembered for a very long time.

Congratulations to all the skaters and thanks for allow-ing us to be truly inspired by you, the athletes.

Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is asking Canadians to give the most precious gift this winter season by donat-ing blood to help ensure that it is available nationally to those who may need it.

Over the next year CBS will need to collect 90,000 units of blood nationally.

In North/East Ontario we will be looking to recruit 9,000 new donors to meet the growing demand for blood from hospitals.

It's estimated that 1 out of 2 Canadians is eligible to do-nate blood.

Last year 1 in 75 actually did.

Please join us and ex-change one hour of your time to give a hospital pa-tient a lifetime of seasons.

Join Canadian Blood Services on Thursday, Feb-ruary 5, 2009 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre from 1:00 to 3:30 & 5:00 to 7:30pm.

It's never too early to book an appointment, to help se-cure the blood supply and make the upcoming clinic a success:

The draw for the Adam Harlow Fellowship Fund Senators Raffl e was made on December 20th during the Kemptville 73’s Junior A showcase.

The fi rst prize winner is Marion Kelly of Greely. Second prize went to Lynn vander Linde of Kemptville, and third prize was won by Ryan Dewis of Carleton Place. The team that sold the most tickets and subse-quently won $350.00 for their efforts, was the Atom B2 team! Second runner up for the $100.00 prize was the PeeWee House C1 team.

Way to go guys and gals!Many, many thanks to all

that supported this raffl e, and a special thanks to those that participated in the sale of these tickets.

This is our biggest fund-raiser of the year, and with-out the participation of the Kemptville Minor Hockey Teams, it would never be the success that it is.

As a result of your efforts, the Adam Harlow Fellow-ship Fund was able to sup-port 20 hockey players this season!

It is equally important to note that all of the proceeds of the Fund are used to spon-sor families in the Kempt-ville area only.

Kansas argues that we're nothing but dust in the wind.

Sometimes it's tough to disagree; so much of what we say and do is really for nothing; right?

Well, honestly, yes. There is a lot of what we do that has no bearing on anythng, yet we continue to persist.

Yet on Wednesday, one of our ad reps, Diana Fisher, commemorated the one-year anniversary of her father's passing.

In fact, if you'll read her column this week it's an ex-cellent portrayal of a man I never met - a man I would have loved to meet.

As she stood in our of-fi ce relaying stories of her father to me, one thing be-came very clear: Larry Lee-

son was a man whose words and actions are still rippling through the Great Pond a year after his death.

The only grandparent I ever really knew, my Nana, passed away more than two years ago, but I still remem-ber her and what she taught me.

Her memory will never fade either. Just like the memory of Diana's father.

Their words and actions will continue to trickle down through the generations as Diana re-teaches some (or all) of what her father taught her; I will remember what Nana taught me and pass that onto my children.

Depending on beliefs, we could literally be dust in the wind a few years after our passing, but there's more to

life than just our physical presence.

With six billion people in the world there are countless

people dying and being born every second of every day.

So if there are so many of us, how do we make a name for ourselves?

It's our words and actions that defi ne us; engrain us in the memories of time. Larry, from what I've heard and read, was a gruff and rough

man; but like all of his gen-eration - he was there for you.

My nana was no different; I always knew where to fi nd her if I needed help or just some tea and cookies.

I think that's what makes them really memorable: They were honestly good people who wanted to make sure everyone was doing all right.

Every time I light a ciga-rette, I hear my nana's voice telling me this one story again (for the one billionth time) of holding a cigarette in her palm and saying to herself "I may as well burn money."

You're right, nana. You al-ways were.

Maybe it's a sign of that generation; I think one of

the toughest the world ever had an opportunity to see - maybe different ideals were instilled in them.

My only hope is that God has a special place set aside for people like that (oh yeah, Heaven!); because they de-serve it.

And while Kansas was right on one account: Our bodies are nothing more than dust in the wind.

But it's the human spirit that continually renews and re-energizes itself.

And thanks to people like Larry Leeson and my nana we see that indeed, physical-ly, we're nothing but a blink.

But it's the words and ac-tions that we put forth for the world that defi ne us and keep our memory fresh for future generations.

My borrowed boots were clipped into cross-country skis, my mittens wrapped tightly around poles too tall for me. My harness, meant for rock climbing, was attached by something like a bungee cord to a sled dog named Griffen.

Heather Adeney began the countdown: “Five, four, three, two, one.”

After years of racing, I guess having a novice strapped in behind him threw 12-year-old Griffen off, because he didn’t move. It took a few tugs and chirps before he took off, keeping pace beside Adeney...

The fi rst meeting of North Grenville council in 2009 brought with it the adoption of the year's budget.

Council voted to adopt the 2009 municipal budget that brings with it a 1.9 per cent increase in the tax levy for local residents.

Coun. Tim Sutton spoke briefl y in his preamble to reading the motion to adopt the budget, acknowledg-ing that the municipality would like to continue with the precedence of fi nishing its budget early in the calendar year.

"Councillors and staff won't be encumbered by a busy time," he said in referring to March and April, when most budgets are being fi nalized. "This budget is well thought out, comprehensive and considerate."

He also warned residents that this is only the munici-pal portion of their tax bill; county and education still have to set their budgets, which can increase the total tax bill paid out...

PAUL PARSONS


Kemptville Midget House hockey fans stood witness to an unlikely victory on Friday, Jan. 9th, when the underdog Panthers 3 team, playing on the road in Athens, defeated the rival Aeros six to fi ve.

The undermanned Panther played the game with only fi ve dressed skaters and one goaltender, with no available substitutions on the bench, against the third-place team in the western standings.

With the ranks depleted by injury, illness, and out-side commitments, the Pan-thers and their Coach Angus Ravanelli devised a game plan to make the best of the challenging situation.

Trusting on the demon-strated skill and reliability of star goaltender Mike Lal-ande, the Panthers knew they had to control the tempo of the game while conserving energy.

The Referee’s whistle would have to be their friend that evening, and icing the puck frequently would give Kemptville valuable oppor-tunities to get stoppages in play and catch their breath.

Penalties, on the other hand, had to be avoided at all costs, so that players on the ice could share the load equally.

Considering that they are the most penalized team in their division, this would be a major test of restraint for the Panthers!

Defencemen Josh Goetz and Dom Vidoni each played

a strong and disciplined game, keeping the crease clear as much as possible, and icing the puck at every opportunity.

By keeping the Aeros to the outside of the defensive zone, Kemptville was able to reduce opposing chances during the fi rst two periods, and Lalande handled any shots that managed to get through.

Prior to the start of the game, Kemptville joked that taking an early fi ve goal lead might be a good strategy, since fatigue would surely be a factor in the third pe-riod.

As it happens, the Pan-thers got out to an early lead, scoring on two of their fi rst three shots!

Forwards Curtis Weekes, John Ravanelli, and Brian

Parsons focused on defence, while always looking for the quick breakout opportunity, and Weekes managed to get clear in the fi rst minute to score a beautiful breakaway goal.

Parsons followed up four minutes later by poking in the puck after a wrap-around attempt, and the visitors had a surprising 2-0 lead.

Although the Aeros did manage a goal late in the fi rst period, Weekes added two more goals in the second to close out that period with a hat trick, giving his team a 4-1 advantage.

Ravanelli concentrated on closing up the neutral zone and helping out on defensive coverage to protect the Pan-thers’ growing lead.

Kemptville kept the game tight for two periods, keep-

ing the shot count close at 21-18, but the players’ ener-gy levels dropped noticeably in the third.

Despite this, early in the period Goetz managed to fi re in a perfect shot from the blue line to make the score 5-1, but Athens came on strong in the last ten minutes.

Adapting their own game plan to negate icing chances and minimise stoppages, the Aeros exploited the visitors’ visible exhaustion and out shot Kemptville 24-9 to tie the score at fi ve apiece with under three minutes to go.

The visitors might have closed up the defensive zone to settle for a tie score and a moral victory, but passes by Vidoni and Weekes managed to spring Parsons into the clear for a breakaway, and, calling on his last reserves,

he outran all defenders to go in all alone and shoot the go-ahead goal top shelf with just over a minute on the clock!

On numbers alone, the game might have been ex-pected to end entirely differ-ently, but a lot of heart and some very disciplined play from the Panthers gave the fans a highly entertaining game, and a couple of valu-able points in the standings.

Much to the credit of the Aeros team however, many Athens players and fans showed their sportsmanship after the game when they congratulated the Panthers on a well-played winning strategy.

Athens, however, surely now awaits the rematch on February 11th in Kempt-ville.

STORY IDEAS? SEND THEM TO NATHAN.JAHNMETROLAND.COM


The lure of Canada’s na-tional game helped make learning fun for students at Benson Public School Fri-day during the third Hockey Day in Cardinal event.

Students from kindergar-ten to grade 8 were engaged in art lessons, reading, tech-nology classes, and other fun activities, all designed around a hockey theme.

They experienced the les-sons both at school and at the Cardinal and District

Community Arena.Later in the day, students

enjoyed an exhibition hock-ey game between the South Grenville District High School varsity girls team and a squad of local parents and celebrities.

The day ended with an-other match-up between South Grenville’s varsity boys team and rivals from St. Mary Catholic High School.

The school’s acting prin-cipal, Leann Bruley, said the day was organized to engage students through hockey-themed lessons.

“We started this because we were looking for some-thing to hook the kids in,” explained Bruley. “Cardinal is a huge hockey community and we thought we could help them learn by taking advantage of that.”

“I feel very strongly that kids need to realize they can learn in many different ways,” added Rick Chellew, a South Grenville teacher who helped organize the day.

“Students don’t just have to sit in a classroom listening to dry lectures. Using hock-

ey to teach kids is a great way for them to learn.”

Organizers not only used hockey stories to grab students' attention, they reinforced the learning by offering several different hockey-themed lessons that complemented each other and boosted comprehension.

At the rink Shannon Daigeler’s grades 1/2 class enjoyed a reading of the book Clancy with the Puck by Maynard Public School librarian Lynn Heibein.

The book, authored by Chris Mizzoni, is about fi c-

tional hockey star Clancy Cooke. Cooke is seen as the saviour of the Hogtown Maple Buds in their bid for a Stanley Cup.

However, lost in his own sense of self-importance, Clancy misses a critical penalty shot during the fi nal game and the Maple Buds lose their bid for hockey’s golden crown.

During the reading, Hei-bein asked students ques-tions about the story, and what aspects of Cooke’s per-sonality led to the character’s downfall.

Following the lesson, stu-dents had the chance to write the author about their favou-rite part of the story, and to illustrate it on a large paper puck provided by organiz-ers.

The additional activities allowed the students to think about the story, and enhance their comprehension.

Older students enjoyed activities such as Chellew’s technology seminar.

The students used a com-puter program to design an arch bridge and Chellew linked the arching supports on the bridge to construction in other buildings – such as the roof of Cardinal’s hock-ey arena.

South Grenville teachers Kristen Jones and Carrie Gilmour conducted an anti-

bullying seminar for grades 6-8 students using hockey players to explain all the bad things that result from bully-ing.

“They talked about pro-fessional hockey players and what would happen if they bullied anyone,” explained South Grenville teacher Ja-son Sloan, a key organizer of the event. “If a hockey play-er did it, it would be splat-tered all over the papers so they avoid it. We want our grades 6-8 students to take the same level of precautions and to have the same respect for others.”

Bruley added that the day served as a way Benson could introduce its grades 6- 8 students to peers at South Grenville.

Allowing Benson students to make the connections ear-ly and to feel comfortable with high school students is even more important than previous years as South Grenville prepares to con-vert to a grades 7-12 school and many of Benson’s stu-dents will take classes there next year.

Organizers provided stu-dents with a lunch of hot dogs and fruit sponsored by the Cardinal Starch Com-pany (CASCO), as well as a free skate and other fun activities.

The plane jolted up and down, then rocked from side to

side.I held the controls with

an iron grip, my knuckles probably white underneath my mittens. I tried to keep the wings even with the horizon and the nose steady, but maybe my hands were shakier than I thought.

T h e n p i l o t G e r r y Thompson, sitting next to me on the right side of the Cessna 150, told me he often hits turbulence in that airspace.

“As long as that’s not me,” I said, relaxing a little.

“We’ve climbed 300 feet,” he said, pointing to the altimeter.

So much for keeping the nose on the skyline.

Thompson said it wasn’t a problem, though he did take the controls and point us downward. We were on our own between the Ottawa River and the Gatineau Hills; only within 24 kilo-metres of a major airport did we have to report to a control tower.

In the meantime, it was like driving a car minus the traffic lights. Before turn-ing, we checked the air-space in that direction.

Thompson asked if I wanted to see some manoeu-vres, otherwise known as “unusual attitudes” or aero-batics.

I nonchalantly said sure, but it was what I had hoped

for.He abruptly banked the

aircraft to the left. I looked out of the win-

dow and was staring straight down onto the treetops. Thompson pulled the nose up, then down and to the right.

My stomach moved to the general area of my throat; it felt like a roller-coaster ride. I’ve done my share of fly-ing but never seen a plane change directions like that.

Once level , I asked Thompson about stalls and he agreed to show me one.

He pulled back on the controls, pushing the nose toward the clouds.

It was less dramatic than expected – it’s not the same thing as a car stalling. The engine is still powering the plane, but eventually the wings have no airflow and don’t create any lift.

Something started beep-ing.

“That’s the stall warn-ing,” Thompson explained.

He said beginner students panic at this point and try to bring the nose down on their own, which would send them straight to the ground.

Instead, my pilot held the controls tight to his chest, compensation for when the plane began falling auto-matically.

Spreading my wingsStory by Cheryl BrinkPhotos by Blair Edwards

We all have dreams, perhaps even a written list of things we hope to accomplish and experience in our lifetimes. Reporter Cheryl Brink has such a list, and she has begun crossing items off. Last week she began a three-part series with a story about her trip in a hot air balloon. In this issue she'll detail her adventure flying a Cessna airplane, and on Jan. 16, she takes you on her journey up three kilome-tres and back down again. . . via parachute. For additional content, such as video and more photos, check out the reporter’s personal blog featured on www.yourottawaregion.com.

<<< Head in the Clouds,From Page 7

In about two seconds we were flying on like nothing had happened.

Thompson has us in the air for about 40 minutes – I held the controls for five or 10 of those – during my introductory flight before heading back to the Ottawa Flying Club.

WALKABOUTThompson received his pilot's license 32 years ago and

after a brief stint in the commercial industry became an instructor at the club.

He is one of the veteran teachers now, and a sticker on his headset reads "godfather", a moniker given to him by his fellow instructors.

“I’m the old man,” he explained. “I’ve been doing this for a long time.”

I met Thompson on Dec. 19 at the Ottawa Flying Club, which is just inside the fence of the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, sandwiched between two hangers. A cafeteria and lounge area is open to the public who enjoy watching the runways. Photos and certificates from when the club first opened in 1928 until now line the walls. As an ex-air cadet with a former private pilot for a brother, it was

a comfortable environment.Sixteen planes scattered around the airstrip are used for

lessons, rentals and introductory flights like mine, which give prospective pilots an idea of what goes on in the cock-pit.

As many crafts as possible are kept in the hangers dur-ing winter – Thompson said they don’t tolerate the cold any more than other vehicles.

“Planes like this don’t start on days like today,” he said, referring to our two-seater Cessna in the -15 C degree weather, “unless they’re in the hanger or plugged in.”

During the walkabout – the inspection all pilots must complete before flying – Thompson removed a blanket covering the nose, checked the oil and gas, hinges and other essentials. Another pilot helped Thompson push the plane outside; I tried to not get hit in the head with a wing. My instructor then asked me to get in.

On the driver’s side of the plane.I’ve been in Cessnas before, but never on the left side.Even though both sides can control pitch and turns, the

“six pack” of all the major gauges were on my end of the plane, including the airspeed indicator, altimeter, artificial horizon, heading indicator, vertical speed, and turn and back co-ordinator.

The club’s general manager, Mark Champagne, said stu-

dent pilots always sit on the driver’s side to get used to it, though major airlines have everything on both ends of the plane.

I climbed into the seat, trying to look natural. Then Thompson told me there was a defroster only on the pilot’s side.

“I’d rather you be able to see than me,” I said with a gulp.

He had to reach over to my side to pull the primer, which squirts gas into the engine, and then turn the key. Thompson did a run-up, revving the engine to listen for anything odd.

“Everything seems happy,” he said.The instructor pushed down a button on his controls to

speak to the tower – they couldn’t hear us chatting through our headsets otherwise – and radioed our call sign, route and altitude. We soon had clearance to take off.

It was smooth with Thompson at the wheel. Takeoff is my favourite part of flying, departing earth and

becoming part of the sky.Champagne, who got his recreational license in 1989,

said he loves entering the new environment once the tires leave the runway.

“You’re just thinking about where you’re flying,” he said. “You can clear your mind of all the day-to-day stuff.”

He said that all the gauges and controls can be over-whelming for new pilots, who are primarily between 18 and 25 years old, but they soon get used to the cockpit.

“It’s like driving a car,” he said. “You don’t think about where the gas pedal is – it becomes second nature.”

Champagne said that since becoming a pilot he never worries during a commercial flight because he knows how the craft works and what all the nois-es mean, which may sound scary to a nervous passenger.

“I wouldn’t say I could jump in the cockpit,” he said. “But I have a better understanding.”

'INDUSTRY IS UP AND DOWN'Though I do understand better how a plane works now, I

was more anxious during bumpy weather in the Cessna 150 than in a Boeing 747.

Thompson and I flew at 600 metres and 90 knots, or about 170 kilometers per hour. He steered us across the Ottawa River, pointing out Aylmer, Que., on the way.

After getting settled into the sky, I took the controls.Which was when, of course, we hit turbulence.

After Thompson took over, my hands itched to grip the wheel again, even just to feel the struggle of keeping the nose pointed at the horizon. I had another chance to fly later, before my instructor took us over Kanata and Nepean on our way back to the airport.

He dipped the right wing once, to point out a field where a pilot had made an emergency landing. Thompson said the planes are so well maintained that he hasn’t had any huge problems, though he had partial engine failure one time.

Champagne said with all the training that goes on at the club, it’s amazing there aren’t more accidents. He said there have been a few incidents – a tire blowing during landing, a plane veering off the runway – but no fatalities or major injuries.

There would have been one if I had been asked to land. The wind was rushing at us from the right, so Thompson

tipped the right wing down to compensate, touching down in a “slide-slip.”

The Selects Hockey orga-nization has selected a top 12 year old hockey player from the North Grenville re-gion from their annual major peewee international tryout held in Burlington, VT on January 1st, 2009.

Eric Cornel from the Major Peewee Rideau St. Lawrence Kings AA team has been invited to join the four (4) year international program with the East Coast Selects hockey team.

Cornel competed with 71 other invited Peewee aged (12 year olds) AAA hockey players from Quebec, the Northeastern United States, and Eastern Ontario for the 17 positions.

The team will be traveling to Reykjavik, Iceland and Stockholm, Sweden for a 10 day tour this April.

There, it will participate in an international develop-ment camp, all-star tourna-ment and educational tour.

Throughout the experi-ence the 12-13 year old top

hockey players will learn a lot about other cultures and international hockey compe-tition.

The local Kemptville player made a strong state-ment on January 1st.

The selection commit-tee consisted of 100% inde-pendent hockey evaluators including NCAA, CHL and other professional hockey scouts. “Eric showed he not only has the abilities to be a top hockey prospect but also demonstrated great leader-ship and passion on the ice”, commented John St. Pierre, head coach for the East Coast Selects 96 Team.

Fellow RSL Kings team-mate, Brandon Prophet of Brockville, was also selected to the team.

Selects Hockey is an elite hockey prospect develop-ment company owned by Howe Hockey Development, Inc. Since 2003 Selects Hockey has worked with top 13-16 year old hockey play-ers across North America and Europe. In its inaugural tryout in 2003, the program’s 17 player roster produced 3

– 1st round picks in the 2007 NHL draft ( Logan Couture (San Jose Sharks), Kevin Shattenkirk (Colorado Ava-lanche) and Nick Petrecki

(San Jose Sharks)). To date, the program has

21 alumni drafted into the NHL in only a 2 year pe-riod.

It has been a very busy few weeks for the Kempt-ville Panthers Bantam C1 team.

On top of the regular league games and practices they took home the B Cham-pion trophy from the North Dundas Guildcrest Homes Mega House Tournament in Winchester, on December 13th.

The Kemptville Ban-tam team played two tough games, the fi rst against South Stormont (lost 3-2) and then against North Dundas (tied 2-2). These results allowed Kemptville to play in the B Finals against North Dundas which they won after two exciting 3 minute overtime periods and a shootout!

Their hard work and team effort proved to be the recipe for success again at

their home tournament at the North Grenville Com-plex just this past weekend, December 28th. They be-gan the day playing West Carleton and lost in a shoot-out 3-2. Second game was against the Kemptville C2 team and again ended in a shootout this time with our boys on top 3-2. The boys played hard and won the B championship game against Canterbury a 6-2 win. What a team! Congratulations boys!

On behalf of the team I would also like to an-nounce the winners of our raffl e, which was held on Saturday, December 20th at Broadway’s Restaurant in Kemptville. Congratu-lations to Darren Hyde, Nancy Noeclar, Debbie Banks, Helen Brazier, and Luc Lavergne. Hope you all enjoy the hockey games! Thank you to all who pur-chased tickets for the event and supported our team!

One year ago, I lost a very special person in my life. Many of you know him as a teacher, truck driver and friend. To me, he was just Dad.

Dad started experiencing back pain in August 2007, in the middle of his beloved boating season. We knew it was bad when he revealed he was taking up to 21 Advil a day. That red fl ag got him into the hospital, where the specialists discovered an ab-dominal aneurysm.

They scheduled him for surgery.

“If they open me up, they won’t like what they fi nd!” Dad had said in the past. A smoker since the age of twelve, I think Dad never expected to live to 100.

Maybe that’s why he lived his life so fully. He was here for a good time, not a long time.

Once they opened him up, the doctors found a tumor on the pancreas. They told Mom, and then they took off for the long weekend. She was left to tell him on her own. I remember sitting there beside the hospital bed, thinking that I was so grate-ful to be back in Canada, in-stead of in Taiwan or Austra-lia or God knows where.

In the following weeks, more tests were done. When Dad found out it was pan-creatic cancer, he seemed all too ready to accept that he was dying. He had watched a friend pass away from the same thing just a few years earlier, and as a sci-ence teacher (almost a doc-tor, someone once said), he knew just how aggressive pancreatic cancer was.

The doctors informed us that instead of removing the

abdominal aneurysm, they were going to have to leave it alone and take the tumor from the pancreas instead.

Over the next few weeks, Mom became very well edu-cated in the myriad methods of pain management avail-able.

It became her illness too.One day I stopped in to

fi nd Mom in tears, because Dad wouldn’t eat. He was in too much pain.

We joked with him, ca-joled him, and tried to bribe him into eating.

Nothing worked. I think that was probably one of the lowest points for all of us. And it was the only time I saw him in tears throughout his entire illness.

Even then, I believe his tears were a simple reaction to ours, rather than his own emotions.

We went to the kitchen to discuss the problem. Mom suspected that the pharma-cy had given her the wrong dosage, as the medicine just didn’t seem to be work-ing. Moments later, Dad emerged from the bedroom. “That stuff? I stopped tak-ing it. It’s addictive, you know.” Apparently he had read something on the In-ternet that made him think

he was better off sticking to 200 mgs of Advil at a time. Mom had her hands full with this patient.

September 11th was a dark day for our family. But Dad was determined that it wouldn’t be. He called all of us to the house for a “family meeting”, and we went, half expecting what we would hear.

Dad delivered the mes-sage to us that his cancer was terminal by way of a joke.

I was horrifi ed, but I knew that was the way he wanted to handle it. For the next few minutes, we were all in some kind of shock.

Dad said that he had just joined an exclusive club where addictive pain medi-cations, harmful cigarette smoke, fattening foods, etc. no longer mattered. He even joked to one of his nurses that he was planning a big bank robbery as a fi nale.

We were told we had 6 months with him. But we were also reminded that the aneurysm could take him at any moment.

We made him promise not to lift anything heavy, or to over exert himself. And then we set about the business of making the very best of every moment we had with

him. My husband planned elab-

orate Sunday dinners at the farm, for anyone and every-one who wished to attend.

It was a wonderful idea, a chance for the whole family to see Dad, for Mom to relax and be a guest, and for all of us to just be together.

Many days, particularly after his chemo treatments,

Dad had diffi culty eating. But at Sunday dinner at

the farm, he had second helpings.

Perhaps the distraction of a roomful of giggling teen-aged girls helped him to eat and feel better.

ONE YEAR LATER: REMEMBERING MY DAD

LARRY LEESON


By Rob BrodieOttawaSenators.com

In Curtis Hunt’s mind, it is the next logical step up the coach-ing ladder.

But the essence of it all re-mains the same for the Otta-wa Senators assistant coach, who joined the organization this season after spending the previous sev-en as a bench boss with the West-ern Hockey League’s Moose Jaw Warriors and Regina Pats in his home province of Saskatchewan.

“It’s been eye-opening, that’s for sure,” Hunt said about his fi rst National Hockey League coach-ing job. “In the end, the game is the same. You get pucks out, you get pucks in and generate scor-ing chances by being predictable within your group.

“There is an adaptation period with the speed (of the NHL game) but beyond that, you’re doing a lot of the same things and in the end, you’re dealing with people. That’s the part I enjoy the most.”

While it’s fair to suggest the NHL is the dream destina-tion for many hockey coaches, Hunt doesn’t spend too much time dwelling on that.

“This is the best level and I guess the next step up is the world championship and the Olympics,” he said. “Every level is special in its own way but you never really think about it because the dream continues. You get here and it’s ‘let’s start with being competi-tive and then it’s let’s get to where we’re up in the standings and let’s get to where we have some play-off success and let’s get to where we have a chance at the ultimate prize.’

“You keep working every day and you never think of it in terms of ‘I’ve made it.’ I’m getting an opportunity now, so it’s important to just stay grounded and work every day and do what you can in-side and outside the box to make sure our team has a chance to win every night.”

Hunt has familiar company on the Senators bench. He is back working alongside Craig Harts-burg, with whom he shared a pair of golden moments for Team Can-ada at the last two world junior hockey championships. Their playing backgrounds are vast-ly different – Hartsburg was a star blueliner for the NHL’s Min-nesota North Stars, while Hunt spent nine seasons in the minors after being drafted by the Van-couver Canucks in 1985 – but they’re clearly on the same page as coaches.

“We come from a lot dif-ferent backgrounds but with a (shared) understanding of how the game should be played,” said Hunt, 42, a native of North Battl-eford, Sask. “I believe we’ve de-veloped, beyond a friendship, just a trust and work ethic about how things need to get done and pre-pared. The most important thing of all is that we’ve had success (together).”

However, the offence took a hit with the news that forward Al-ex Tanguay will be sidelined for six weeks because of a left shoulder inju-ry. Andrei Markov continues to supply plenty of offence from the blue line. Goaltending isn’t an issue here, with Carey Price already headed toward star status.

He loved to make them laugh, and to sit there watching as they interacted with each other in their high-energy, oblivi-ous-to-the-rest-of-the-world way.

We continue to have a family dinner every Sunday, in memory of Dad and in awareness of the value that such a gathering has in today’s busy life.

Dad loved to snowmobile, and even as he grew weaker we knew that he was anxious to get out in that wonderful snow we had last winter.

So he and Mom suited up and drove their two-up snow-mobile to the farm one weekend.

We all had tears in our eyes as we took pictures, knowing full well it would be his last trip.

In typical Larry fashion, he revved his motor and took off down the laneway fl ying, before Mom even had a chance to get her gloves and hang on.

He wanted to make us laugh. And he did. Every chance he got.

When teaching colleagues dropped by to pay a visit during Dad’s fi nal months, they often displayed uncharacteristically uncomfortable behaviour, sitting together on the couch, not knowing what to say to their ailing friend.

Until Dad put them at ease with a funny memory: “re-member the time we fi lled Frank’s shoes with water, put them in the freezer, and then put them back so he would try to get them on?”

Soon everyone would be roaring with laughter, and it was just as it always was.

Dad’s home nurse, Joanne Thibert, was a Godsend. A former student, she was the perfect match for Dad,

scolding him when he didn’t follow instructions (“with the medication you’re on, if you don’t drink enough water you’ll give yourself the biggest hangover ever!”) and following his lead, using laughter to cover the pain.

From the fi rst discovery of his illness to the very end, Dad

possessed an almost childlike wonder about what was wait-ing for him when he died.

He never felt sorry for himself and never expressed fear, because I honestly don’t think he felt it.

And he had no regrets. He had had a good life. Too short, yes. But good.In the end, we didn’t have to watch Dad go through the

fi nal stages of pancreatic cancer. The aneurysm took him instead. We are very thankful that we had the opportunity to be

with him in the fi nal two hours of his life, holding him and telling him we loved him.

We gave him the best possible send-off from this world. We miss you, Dad. Every single day. And we trust that the

second year without you will be easier. We celebrate your memory through laughter, not tears.

And yes, we know you are there. We can feel you.

Kemptville Panthers Atom C2 and C4 hockey teams travelled to Morrisburg on January 10th for a tournament hosted by the South Dundas Lions. Here, an upended Shae Hill of the C2 team reaches to pass the puck to a team mate. The C4 team won round-robin play to face off against South Dundas in the championship game. The Panthers missed out as tournament champions by one goal. The C2 team also played well, losing to the Carleton Place Kings by a goal in the B fi nal.

KFD battles car blaze on County Road 43

BURNING RUBBER: Emergency crews responded to this vehicle blaze just west of Kemptville near the intersection of County Road 43 and Johnston Road.

Firefi ghters responded quickly, extinguishing the fi re in a matter of minutes while traffi c was halted in both directions by police offi cers.

Council passes 1.9 per cent increase

NATHAN JAHN

ADVANCE STAFF

Residents of North Gren-

ville can expect a slight in-

crease in their tax bill next

year as council's committee

of the whole endorsed a 1.9

per cent increase for 2009,

on Monday night.If council accepts the

committee's recommenda-

tion, this may be the earliest

that a municipal budget has

been set.While not everybody is

completely happy with the

proposed budget, the major-

ity seem to feel it is a fair

incrfease.

Everyone gave a little and

received a little. Deputy Mayor Ken

Finnerty's late suggestion,

made shortly before the reso-

lution went to a vote at com-

mittee, raised the possibility

of adding another percentage

point to the tax bill.The additional money, he

reasoned, could be allocated

to a reserve fund for future

needs."To think of the future,"

he said."I think 2.9 per cent looks

good compared to places

like Ottawa."

He made it look easy, but he said it’s one of the hardest landings to master. The challenge of putting the plane smoothly back on the ground is often the pilot’s favourite part of flying, said Thompson, though he’s often had to take the con-trols from students to avoid a mishap.

“Their job is trying to kill me,” he joked. “My job is to keep us alive.”

Thompson parked the plane near the tarmac since the hangers were full. He fought to pull the stiff mix-ture knob, which starves the engine of gas and makes it putter to a stop.

“I’ll have to tell the mechanic,” he said, then

grabbed the headsets and we headed back to the warmth of the club.

About 50 fl ights a day take off from the Ottawa Flying Club, giving each in-structor several turns in the air. Most of the students are from Algonquin College, as the school has an ongoing partnership with the club to train the new aircrew.

“You wouldn’t be talking to me otherwise,” Thomp-son said, explaining that the affi liation is what’s keeping the club afl oat in tough eco-nomic times, when fl ying isn’t a regular item on the average budget.

“It’s a luxury for a lot of people,” he said.

“It’s a very economic thing,” added Champagne. “It’s cyclical; the industry is up and down all the time.”

Though there might be a lack of people wanting pri-

vate fl ights, there is also a shortage of pilots.

Champagne said the fl ying industry is booming over-

seas, and major airlines in India and China frequently recruit Canada pilots, leav-ing gaps at home.

Thompson is still here, working not only as one of the longest-serving instruc-tors but also as the club’s safety offi cer, ensuring smooth daily operations.

The thrill of fl ying has faded a little for Thomp-son, who got his license after realizing he would never be happy in his federal government job, but he said he always enjoys passing along his knowledge and ex-perience to new pilots.

“That’s what I do for a liv-ing – I teach people how to fl y,” he said.

LEESON, LARRY (September 4, 1941 – January 14, 2008)

Dear Larry / Dad / Grandpa:

We have made it through the fi rst year with-out you in our lives. And yet you are here still. You were in the warm rays of the springtime sun on our faces. You were dancing with the light on the water last summer.We heard you in the crunch of the colourful leaves in fall, And we know you were behind that fi rst big snowstorm in October. Quite often, one of your favourite sayings will come to mind. We know what you would say if you were here, and so we say it for you. Your sense of humour lives on in us.At family gatherings, you are sorely missed. But your presence remains. So we speak your name. We tell a funny story, reminding us of the past. The love you gave. The joy you shared. The life you lived. We didn’t know how we would do this without you. We still don’t. The tears still come very easily. But you are showing us the way, one day at a time. And yes, we know you are there. We can feel you.

Love, your family

“The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That’s the deal.” - C.S. Lewis
