The thing about the ordsprog

The thing about the Paralympics is, they're not only incredible athletes, but all of them have been through some sort of tragedy, whether it's from an accident, an illness or even a military injury.

As soon as this tragedy happened in New Orleans, I just was haunted by memories and thoughts about Roberto Clemente and sort of how he gave his life to help people in a situation like this. It was very heartening for me to see athletes of this era come through in ways larger than themselves.

We have had a somewhat slow start with a lot of illness, but we have a solid turnout of over 50 kids. We have some experienced and talented athletes, but it is always a challenge to get the athletes in all the right events.

The value in superstition is that for athletes it gives an incredible confidence, because you really believe this thing works.

He just had rotator cuff surgery, so he's just starting to be able to pick up his guitar and play it aggressively. He should have had [the operation] six months ago. It was an injury he sustained in a car accident. And then on top of that, all the playing we do and how we do it made matters worse. We're sort of the Dillinger Insurance Plan for the moment.

Any lost-time accident we take as a serious injury. I wouldn't refer to any injury as minor.

At the last minute we decided to open it up to the junior athletes and some of them have been showing up the varsity athletes. It's been incredible.

There are 15,000 athletes and all have trained their entire lives for this event and want the Games to go on. Security around the athletes is just incredible at the moment.

I wasn't sure after the accident exactly how he'd come out of all this. It was certainly a severe accident and severe injuries he had. But he's made a remarkable recovery. In just the time he's worked with us, it's just incredible how much he improved.

As with any airplane accident, [there are] a lot of broken bones, a lot of compressions, loss of consciousness from being knocked around, some head injuries -- that sort of thing,

The important thing for us as a community is to rally around our neighbors to the South in this really awful tragedy. We'll sort out the details of our local situation later.

Gordan Thibedeau
