Ontario's elementary teachers warn of strike NATHAN JAHN WEEKENDER STAFF With more than 73,000 of Ontario's elementary school teacher's preparing to strike the question on most people's mind is simple: why? The Jan. 8 announcement from David Clegg, president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO), that put school boards "on notice" that teachers could pottentially strike if, he says, "significant progress" is not made in contract negotiations by Feb. 18. Initially, negotiations for a new contract were happening between the province and the ETFO but have since moved back to individual school board level. The reasoning being that the province is putting in the lion's share of the money, said Upper 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 enhancements," 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, allowed 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 Kathleen 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 beyond that has to be financed at a local level. "The tri-lateral negotiatons 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 District 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 students without proof of the year's education they just received. The Weekender will continue to proviode updates as they occur. nathan.jahn@metroland. com

Gray related the story of a local photographer who insisted 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 submissions must be related to the surreal theme, be framed or ready for display and include 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 notified 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 613-2582267, or by e-mailing sixchicks@gallery6.org.

KAYLEE TEMPLETON SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER On Saturday Jan. 10, 2009, a remarkable event happened at the North Grenville Municipal Centre: The 2009 Skate Canada Eastern Ontario Special Olympic Regional & Invitational Competition. Spectators gathered to cheer on the 27 figure skaters representing the Gloucester Skating Club and Skate Kingston who were participating in this event. The skaters grace and passion was clearly visible from the stands, as their smiles stretched from ear to ear with each passing performance by the skaters. Two of the competitors from the event will eventually 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 congratulated one another and cheered their competitors on throughout the day, regardless of whether they were in the first or last position.
From an outsider’s standpoint it was a learning experience; it allowed a greater sense of understanding to be developed and a mutual respect to form between spectators and skaters. The skaters had no inhibitions, 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 Local 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 businesses 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 skaters 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 allowing 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 donating 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 donate blood. Last year 1 in 75 actually did. Please join us and exchange one hour of your time to give a hospital patient a lifetime of seasons. Join Canadian Blood Services on Thursday, February 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 secure the blood supply and make the upcoming clinic a success: Call 1 888 2 DONATE today.
The draw for the Adam Harlow Fellowship Fund Senators Raffle was made on December 20th during the Kemptville 73’s Junior A showcase. The first 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 subsequently 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 raffle, and a special thanks to those that participated in the sale of these tickets. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and without 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 Fellowship Fund was able to support 20 hockey players this season! It is equally important to note that all of the proceeds of the Fund are used to sponsor families in the Kemptville area only.

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 first 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 briefly in his preamble to reading the motion to adopt the budget, acknowledging that the municipality would like to continue with the precedence of finishing 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 finalized. "This budget is well thought out, comprehensive and considerate." He also warned residents that this is only the municipal portion of their tax bill; county and education still have to set their budgets, which can increase the total tax bill paid out...

BENCH BEAT LONG ODDS IN Trusting on the demonstrated skill and reliability of star goaltender Mike Lalande, 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 opportunities 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
PAUL PARSONS SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER 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 five. The undermanned Panther played the game with only five 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 outside commitments, the Panthers and their Coach Angus Ravanelli devised a game plan to make the best of the challenging situation.
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 first 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 five goal lead might be a good strategy, since fatigue would surely be a factor in the third period. As it happens, the Panthers got out to an early lead, scoring on two of their first 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 first 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 first 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 Panthers’ growing lead. Kemptville kept the game tight for two periods, keep-

ing the shot count close at 21-18, but the players’ energy levels dropped noticeably in the third. Despite this, early in the period Goetz managed to fire in a perfect shot from the blue line to make the score 51, 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 five 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 goahead goal top shelf with just over a minute on the clock! On numbers alone, the game might have been expected to end entirely differently, but a lot of heart and some very disciplined play from the Panthers gave the fans a highly entertaining game, and a couple of valuable 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 Kemptville.

Benson Public Sshool tries new learning techniques The lure of Canada’s national game helped make learning fun for students at Benson Public School Friday during the third Hockey Day in Cardinal event. Students from kindergarten to grade 8 were engaged in art lessons, reading, technology classes, and other fun activities, all designed around a hockey theme. They experienced the lessons both at school and at the Cardinal and District
Community Arena. Later in the day, students enjoyed an exhibition hockey game between the South Grenville District High School varsity girls team and a squad of local parents and celebrities. The day ended with another match-up between South Grenville’s varsity boys team and rivals from St. Mary Catholic High School. The school’s acting principal, Leann Bruley, said the day was organized to engage students through hockeythemed lessons.
“We started this because we were looking for something 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 fic-
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 final game and the Maple Buds lose their bid for hockey’s golden crown. During the reading, Heibein asked students questions about the story, and what aspects of Cooke’s personality led to the character’s downfall. Following the lesson, students had the chance to write the author about their favourite part of the story, and to illustrate it on a large paper puck provided by organizers. 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 computer 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 hockey 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 bullying. “They talked about professional hockey players and what would happen if they bullied anyone,” explained South Grenville teacher Jason Sloan, a key organizer of the event. “If a hockey player did it, it would be splattered 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 68 students to peers at South Grenville. Allowing Benson students to make the connections early and to feel comfortable with high school students is even more important than previous years as South Grenville prepares to convert to a grades 7-12 school and many of Benson’s students will take classes there next year. Organizers provided students with a lunch of hot dogs and fruit sponsored by the Cardinal Starch Company (CASCO), as well as a free skate and other fun activities.

I tried to keep the wings even with the horizon and the nose steady, but maybe my hands were shakier than I thought. Then pilot Gerry 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 kilometres 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 turning, we checked the airspace in that direction. Thompson asked if I wanted to see some manoeuvres, otherwise known as “unusual attitudes” or aerobatics. 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 window 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 flying 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 beeping. “That’s the stall warning,” 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 automatically. >>> Head in the Clouds, See Page

Lack of fatal accidents surprises instructor <<< 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.
WALKABOUT
Thompson 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 cockpit. As many crafts as possible are kept in the hangers during 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-

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE #2
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 overwhelming 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 noises 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 Municipality of North Grenville is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the optimization and expansion of the Kemptville WPCP. The North Grenville Water and Wastewater Servicing Master Plan, completed in November 2005, identified the evaluation of optimizing the existing Kemptville WPCP, and provision of expanded (new) wastewater treatment capacity as key components of the preferred wastewater treatment and disposal alternative for accommodating future community growth. The Study – The purpose of this Class EA study is to evaluate opportunities to optimize the existing Kemptville WPCP for interim additional wastewater servicing capacity, and to identify a recommended design concept(s) for a future WPCP facility expansion. This study is being conducted in accordance with the process outlined in the Municipal Engineers Association “Municipal Class Environment Assessment” for a Schedule “C” undertaking. Public Consultation – A key component of the study is public consultation for incorporation into the planning and design process for this project. Any one interested in this study is invited to attend a Public Information Centre (PIC) being held to provide project information and to invite public and agency input and comment. Date: Time: Location:
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 5:00 – 8:00 pm North Grenville Municipal Centre 285 County Rd. 44, Kemptville, ON
This PIC will present updated project information including results of recent investigations and assessments in relation to the WPCP facility expansion and the refinement of the preferred alternative. The format will be a drop-in open house, with no formal presentation.

Kemptville Panthers Bantam C1 take home B Championship hardware SPECIAL TO THE WEEKENDER NANCY DISCI It has been a very busy few weeks for the Kemptville Panthers Bantam C1 team. On top of the regular league games and practices they took home the B Champion trophy from the North Dundas Guildcrest Homes Mega House Tournament in Winchester, on December 13th. The Kemptville Bantam team played two tough games, the first 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 Complex just this past weekend, December 28th. They began the day playing West Carleton and lost in a shootout 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 announce the winners of our raffle, which was held on Saturday, December 20th at Broadway’s Restaurant in Kemptville. Congratulations to Darren Hyde, Nancy Noeclar, Debbie Banks, Helen Brazier, and Luc Lavergne. Hope you all enjoy the hockey games!

OPINION
ONE
YEAR LATER: THE ACCIDENTAL
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 flag got him into the hospital, where the specialists discovered an abdominal aneurysm. They scheduled him for surgery. “If they open me up, they won’t like what they find!” 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 grateful to be back in Canada, instead of in Taiwan or Australia or God knows where.
FARMWIFE
DIANA FISHER WEEKENDER STAFF In the following weeks, more tests were done. When Dad found out it was pancreatic 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 science teacher (almost a doctor, someone once said), he knew just how aggressive pancreatic cancer was. The doctors informed us that instead of removing the

REMEMBERING
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 educated in the myriad methods of pain management available. It became her illness too. One day I stopped in to find Mom in tears, because Dad wouldn’t eat. He was in too much pain. We joked with him, cajoled 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 pharmacy had given her the wrong dosage, as the medicine just didn’t seem to be working. Moments later, Dad emerged from the bedroom. “That stuff? I stopped taking it. It’s addictive, you know.” Apparently he had read something on the Internet 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 message to us that his cancer was terminal by way of a joke. I was horrified, 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 medications, 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 finale. 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

Dad had difficulty eating. But at Sunday dinner at the farm, he had second helpings. Perhaps the distraction of a roomful of giggling teenaged girls helped him to eat and feel better.

Game is the same for Senators’ Hunt By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com In Curtis Hunt’s mind, it is the next logical step up the coaching ladder. But the essence of it all remains the same for the Ottawa Senators assistant coach, who joined the organization this season after spending the previous seven as a bench boss with the Western 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 first National Hockey League coaching job. “In the end, the game is the same. You get pucks out, you get pucks in and generate scoring 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 destination 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 competitive and then it’s let’s get to where we’re up in the standings and let’s get to where we have some playoff 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 inside 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 Hartsburg, with whom he shared a pair of golden moments for Team Canada at the last two world junior hockey championships. Their playing backgrounds are vastly different – Hartsburg was a star blueliner for the NHL’s Minnesota North Stars, while Hunt spent nine seasons in the minors after being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in 1985 – but they’re clearly on the same page as coaches. “We come from a lot different backgrounds but with a (shared) understanding of how the game should be played,” said Hunt, 42, a native of North Battleford, Sask. “I believe we’ve developed, beyond a friendship, just a trust and work ethic about how things need to get done and prepared. The most important thing of all is that we’ve had success (together).”

Alex Kovalev is the most dynamic member of a group of a speedy group of forwards that also includes captain Saku Koivu and new addition Robert Lang. However, the offence took a hit with the news that forward Alex Tanguay will be sidelined for six weeks because of a left shoulder injury. 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.

LOVING MEMORIUM OF
<<< Farmwife, From Page 11 He loved to make them laugh, and to sit there watching as they interacted with each other in their high-energy, oblivious-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 snowmobile 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 flying, before Mom even had a chance to get her gloves and hang on.
LARRY LEESON
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 final 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: “remember the time we filled 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 first discovery of his illness to the very end, Dad
possessed an almost childlike wonder about what was waiting 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 final stages of pancreatic cancer. The aneurysm took him instead. We are very thankful that we had the opportunity to be with him in the final 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. diana.fisher@metroland.com

"Their job is trying to kill me, my job is to keep us alive: Pilot instructor
267221
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 controls 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 mixture knob, which starves the engine of gas and makes it putter to a stop. “I’ll have to tell the mechanic,” he said, then
seas, and major airlines in India and China frequently recruit Canada pilots, leaving gaps at home. Thompson is still here, working not only as one of the longest-serving instructors but also as the club’s safety officer, ensuring smooth daily operations. The thrill of flying has faded a little for Thompson, 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 experience to new pilots. “That’s what I do for a living – I teach people how to fly,” he said.
grabbed the headsets and we headed back to the warmth of the club. About 50 flights a day take off from the Ottawa Flying Club, giving each instructor 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,” Thompson said, explaining that the affiliation is what’s keeping the club afloat in tough economic times, when flying 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.”

We have made it through the first year without 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 first 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 CL13441
A booklet of commemorative verses is available at this newspaper. We sincerely hope it will prove to be of service to readers who are desirous of selecting a suitable verse for their In Memoriam.
The family wishes the couple many years of happiness.
