SUMMER - THE SEQUEL?: Weather Network forecasts warmer temps into fall Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc
CORNWALL, Ontario - If you’ve enjoyed the warm, rain-free days of late The Weather Network has some good news for you. The agency released its annual autumn forecast last week, which predicts a gradual cool down over the course of autumn in the Cornwall area. “Fall is a transition season,” said Kelly Sonnenburg, a Weather Network meteorologist. “We have two patterns set up for the fall. The first one will see temperatures at or slightly above seasonal.” But things won’t last that way. “We’ll see a flip of a switch in mid- to late

October,” Sonnenburg said, adding that’s when temperatures are expected to take a plunge. By the time November and December roll around, it will start to look and feel like winter is fast-approaching. “We can’t rule out some late fall snowfall,” she said. The main driver of the fall weather pattern is El Nino, a mass of warm sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. Sonnenburg said the fall precipitation models suggest that as long as the warm weather remains, it will be drier in our region. But when temperatures begin to fall, weather systems will become a little more unsettled. Fall officially begins Sept. 23.

Unfortunately, history tends to repeat itself. World War One, billed as, ‘The War to End all Wars’, was followed by World War Two. The Titanic foundered in icy waters, an inquiry that was to end all such tragedies was held, but ships, such as the Costa Concordia, still run afoul of perils. Twenty years ago, almost to the day, I shared my thoughts about the loss of Kara, our sixteen year old daughter, who died in a tragic single car accident just one mile west of our Williamstown home. The words that appeared in my StandardFreeholder Hometown column, “From My Desk”, were inspired by the eulogy given at Kara’s funeral by her sports coach. He told of Kara’s determination to do her best in seemingly impossible situations, perhaps fail, but just kept on going. He told of how Kara would attempt to return a volleyball serve that was obviously too difficult to punch back over the net. She would make a valiant effort, fail, fall flat on her face, skin her knee, but just get up, ready to deal with the next serve. Life goes on, and our family history repeated itself on Sunday July 26, 2015. Our elder son Kyle, age 40, died while speed-flying off The
Chief, a 2,297 foot high granite monolith that overshadows Squamish B.C. On some previous flights, he was able to land next to the home that he and Krista Besner, his wife, shared. On Wednesday August 12 Kyle’s widow gave birth to their daughter, Everleigh Skye Besner-Wolochatiuk. A new life begins, life goes on. Kyle lived for adventure and adrenaline rushes. He pushed the limit in snowboarding, kayaking, mountain biking and in his latest passion, speed-flying. This time the odds caught up with him. What’s the moral to this story, what’s the purpose of this column? It serves to drive home the saying, “History repeats itself.” However, I have several other reasons for once again sharing my post-tragedy thoughts. The first is that everyone mourns differently. For some, tears, and perhaps anger or acceptance, come instantly; for others it’s a latent time bomb that operates on its own schedule. Secondly, the most eloquent thing you can do when you meet a person who has been bereaved is to just give a big, lingering hug and be available with an attentive ear. The third message comes to me from Kara: when life serves you with a seemingly impossible serve, make a valiant effort, give it a try, be ready to fall flat on your face, but get up and be ready for the next serve. Life goes on.
