Hard Work Pays Off – Dec 15 2013
It is going to be a great season! I've worked hard and I think it is starting to pay off. I skied well in the first races of the (Northern Hemisphere) season at Panorama and Copper. I attended the Panorama races with the Aspen team. We spent 4 days driving for 3 days of racing. I skied a grand total of 12 runs in Panorama. While there, I had trouble finishing my races. Despite the many hours spent in the car and only finishing one race, I skied well and enjoyed the experience. I did not finish the GS race on the first day. But after a successful first run (I was in third place), I gained confidence in my ability to ski well for the next couple days. The second day I had an equipment issue which resulted in being unable to finish either the super-combined race or the first Super-G race. By the last day I was determined to finally finish a race. As a result, I skied conservatively, which is not as fast. However, I skied well in some sections of the course and achieved my goal of finishing the race. Despite a long drive and difficulty crossing the finish line, I was pleased with everything that happened at Panorama because I skied well. I am more concerned with how I ski than the results. About a week after the Panorama races, I went to Copper for a very competitive Nor Am race. There were over 100 athletes at the race including the national teams from the USA, Canada, Japan, Russia and athletes from Great Britain, Australia and more. We started with two Super-G races. I skied OK, but not great in these initial races. Next we had two GS races and I skied a bit better and earned a bronze medal. The fifth day was a slalom race. I fell in the first race but still finished. I didn't get a result due to my fall, but I skied well and was happy with that. The final day was another slalom race. It was my best skiing of the week and resulted in a silver medal. Skiing well at the Panorama and Copper races foreshadows an exciting and successful 2014 season. My standards for my skiing are now higher than they were just a couple months ago and I hope to continue improving. ^ Top
2013-2014 Season Begins – November 16, 2013
It is official. Ski season has hit the Northern hemisphere. We just finished our first training camp at Copper Mountain in Colorado. It was an amazing camp. We had perfect snow and weather conditions every single day. I had lots of time on snow this camp. Each day we had a couple hours of lane space for gate training as well as a couple hours of free-skiing. We did a number of drills and plenty of directed free skiing. These are usually only done at the beginning of the season. There was an emphasis on drills and basics at the Mt Hood camp but we did not have time for these things in Australia and New Zealand because the emphasis was on racing. And although it was technically the third camp of the season it was nice to work on skiing basics as well as intense gate training sessions to prepare us for upcoming races. It was the first time in months that it actually felt like winter. On the final day of the camp Copper received 5 inches of fresh snow. We had a great day of GS training, despite the cold and the necessity of doing numerous slip runs to smooth out the track. We ended up with a great course and ended the camp on a positive note. My skiing made progress this camp. I've learned some new things and had opportunities to work on techniques that I am trying to perfect. I am happy with the success I had this camp and I know that my skiing will continue to improve as I master these new skills. In addition to skiing in the Northern Hemisphere winter, moving back to Aspen signals the start of the season. I've officially moved into the Aspen apartment that I will call home for the next six months. I almost managed to cram all my stuff into my tiny bedroom. Everything that doesn't fit in my bedroom is happily living in the communal hallway shelves. I will be heading to Panorama for a race in a few days and I feel ready for the challenge! I can't wait to see if my hard work at the Copper camp and the sweat I left at the gym will pay off on race day. ^ Top
Calm Before the Storm – October 18, 2013
After traveling a fair bit for a couple months of chasing snowy mountains (in Oregon, New Zealand and Australia), it is nice to be back in my summer routine. I am back in Colorado Springs and training at the Olympic Training Center. It is great to have nine solid weeks in the gym. This is the first time since June that I've been in town long enough to complete all four weeks of a phase in our dryland training program. I lost a fair bit of strength while I was in the Southern Hemisphere. It was disappointing to get back in the gym and feel like I was starting from scratch. Luckily, it didn't take too long to regain the strength I'd lost and now I feel stronger than ever. I am working hard and preparing myself physically and mentally for the upcoming season. Yesterday I awoke to snow-covered ground. Winter is coming and I can't wait to get back on skis. As my time in Colorado Springs wraps up, I reflect on the amazing summer I've had here. It was an incredible experience. I learned a lot at the Olympic Training Center and I genuinely enjoyed working with the staff there. I will miss the friends and the life I have here in the Springs. One of the toughest parts of being a transient athlete is that as soon as I develop a life and a social network, it is time to move again. I am grateful that wherever I go, my friends are there for me, even though I can only be a part-time friend. This season is going to be a busy and important one. Not only is it a Paralympic year, but there are more World Cup races scheduled this season than usual. I know that once the snow flies, the time will fly too. There will be plenty of skiing, traveling and racing. I am enjoying the calm before the upcoming storm. I expect it to be the type of storm that people sit on their porches and watch in amazement as it gains strength and speed and ends with a bang. I'm not sure if others will remember the storm or not, but I will! Whatever the outcome, it will be a memorable journey. ^ Top
Down Under Part 2: Australia – September 10, 2013
Usually there aren't many opportunities to be a tourist on a ski trip. But we were lucky enough to have a few days in Sydney to explore the city. I saw some Australian friends that I hadn't seen in years and they were nice enough to show me some of the sites. I saw the Zoo, the Sydney Opera House, incredible harbours, beaches with surfers and much more. I rode the subway, ate dinner on the beach, and roamed downtown. Sydney is a great city with a plenty of beautiful waterfront. I did not pack appropriately for the summery weather in Sydney (as well as many of the other towns we visited on this trip). While in Australia, we spent most of our time in a town called Jindabyne. The small towns and countryside were very different from the metropolis of Sydney. I was shocked to discover that there are kangaroos everywhere. Live ones hoping around the Sport & Rec Centre campus where we stayed, and dead ones lining the roads. Apparently Australians don't clean up roadkill, they just leave it on the shoulder. In addition to kangaroos I saw wombats, emus and some unique birds including kookaburras and parrots. There were also gum trees everywhere and I finally understand the kids' song about the Kookaberra sitting in the old gum tree. The Jindabyne Sport & Rec Centre was a great place to stay because they had good facilities and a community atmosphere since athletes from all the countries stayed there. Thredbo, the location of our Australian races, was nearly as warm as Sydney and the snow was melting quickly. In order to race on the best possible snow, we started our days as early as possible. We left Jindabyne at 5am and reached Thredbo before the sun rose. Once the lift opened at 6:15 it we kept lapping until the race was over. As a result, I was finished my races each day before the lifts opened to the public at 8:30. It was definitely a record for the earliest race I've ever done. It felt strange to see the public on snow at the "end" of our day. Although it was tough to wake up so early, I really liked the schedule. It was very beneficial for the snow conditions and I liked the lack of spare time. If I have too much time on race day I tend to over-think things. I did not ski as fast as I would've liked in my races. I had a couple decent runs, but I had trouble getting two in the same day. I finished fourth in both GS races and a earned a bronze medal in slalom. Despite everyone's best efforts to maintain the snow, our last race was cancelled because too much snow had melted overnight. It was a little disappointing, but these things happen in a sport that is weather dependent. I had a great time in Australia. It was interesting to see the contrast between the urban and rural parts of the country. Sydney is a world class city, and I must admit that I didn't know much about it before I arrived. Jindabyne, Thredbo, and the wildlife in that area were unlike anywhere I've ever been before. My time down under is officially finished and has been replaced by jet lag. ^ Top
Down Under Part 1: New Zealand – August 28, 2013
On August 13th I embarked on a journey to the Southern Hemisphere. We landed in New Zealand on August 15th. Despite poor training to start the trip, good racing and a great country left me with wonderful memories of my time in New Zealand. Our first week was supposed to be an opportunity to train before the races began but mother nature didn't cooperate. Our first day on snow was at Mt Hutt, only the small beginner chairlift was running and the fog was so thick that the snow and the sky both looked grey. Since there weren't any trees, the only way to read the hill was to use other skiers as reference points. It was tricky and the rain didn't help. I was constantly wiping my goggles and I accidentally scratched my lenses which made it even harder to see. The following day we couldn't ski due to poor visibility and we didn't bother making the treacherous drive up to the mountain. The next day we drove across the South Island to Coronet Peak, the site of our first races. After many hours cooped up in the vans of the team caravan, we did some free-skiing in tough slushy conditions. The following two days we were able to finally get some training at Coronet Peak. While we trained at Coronet Peak, the able-bodied skiers were racing there. They dealt with rough conditions and a thin layer of soft snow and by afternoon they were skiing on grass. It did not look promising for our races. Somehow we got lucky and the weather got colder just in time for our two slalom races. Despite the improved conditions many athletes had trouble finishing those races. I managed to finish and was rewarded with gold and bronze medals. Heather Mills (known for her former marriage to Sir Paul McCartney) won the silver to my gold. As a result, our podium picture was splashed across British newspapers. After the Coronet Peak races, we drove back to Mt Hutt for Super-Combined and Super-G races. Luckily we had good weather since Mt Hutt is often plagued with fog, wind and chairlift issues. The surface was so solid that they decided that the men should race before the women. In the first race I skied too conservatively and had a slow time as a result and placed 6th. In the second race, I traded my conservative skiing for aggressive skiing, but unfortunately I did not finish. In addition to the skiing, we had some glimpses of New Zealand as a country. While skiing at Mt Hutt we stayed in a ski town called Methven which is the first ski town I've ever seen with palm trees. We also spent some time in Queenstown which seems like the Whistler of that part of the world. People from all corners of the globe, including lots of Americans, travel and work there. It is a mecca for adventure tourism (bungy jumping, sky diving, mountain biking etc.) as well as skiing and snowboarding. We had a quick visit to Wanaka which is a small down-to-earth town on the shore of lake Wanaka. The most shocking place we visited was Christchurch. The devastation from the 2011 earthquake is incredible. The entire downtown area is abandoned with condemned buildings and streets that are completely closed. Walking down the vacant streets it is clear that it was once a vibrant downtown. It was tough to find somewhere to eat dinner because nothing had been open in over two years. My two weeks in New Zealand were very memorable. Although we only saw the South Island, I can confirm the rumours that New Zealand is a truly beautiful country. The locals showed us incredible hospitality and were some of the nicest people I've ever met. On the racing side, I took advantage of good conditions and won two medals in four races. ^ Top
Summer Skiing - July 15, 2013
I am currently in Oregon at a training camp at Mt Hood. After one week, I can confidently say that it has been an amazing camp so far and I am excited for the remaining ten days. We've had incredible training with ideal snow and weather conditions, a great lane and plenty of runs. is a great place to start a season because the terrain is mild and consistent. We've done plenty of drills. I'm learning more about my skiing and how to manage my warm up runs to maximize the benefits of training. Hood is a really cool place to be in July because we have the best of both summer and winter. We have great ski conditions in the mornings (before the sun melts it into slush) and we can also take advantage of everything summer has to offer. I've gone on hikes, bike rides, picked wild berries, swam in the river and spent lots of time on the balcony. I'm never cold while skiing and I wear tank tops, shorts and sandals in the afternoons. This week has also been great for team bonding. There are a couple athletes who've recently moved up from the development team to the national team. It is great to spend more time with the newer athletes. They are great skiers and fit nicely into the team dynamic. After this camp, my next trip will be for the World Cup races in Australia and New Zealand. These races in the Southern Hemisphere make a drastic impact on the season. Normally, our first races of the season are in December. But this year we are racing in August. I have ten days left to get my skiing ready for International competition and I'm ready for the challenge! ^ Top
On the River - May 28, 2013
I recently tried white water rafting for the first time. For five days I escaped every-day life and floated down a river, stopping at a new campsite every night. Although skiing is a huge part of my life, sometimes it is nice to take a break from skiing and do something completely different. I felt immersed in nature, instead of simply admiring it from the top of a mountain. We were in a section of Yampa and Green rivers that are in a huge canyon. Every day included breathtaking views from both the river and campsites. I went on numerous hikes to explore the natural habitat which was virtually unaltered by human civilization. I climbed to the top of cliffs, sunk my feet in the sand, examined interesting rocks, saw plenty of wildlife, and tried paddle-boarding. I even insisted on stopping and taking a picture when we crossed the Colorado/Utah state line. Without electricity, there were no concerns about the outside world. For those five days everything was focused on upcoming rapids, setting up camp, making campfires and cooking meals. I didn't wear a watch and never knew the time and it didn't matter. The only times that mattered were sunrise, sundown and mid-day when the wind started. Even the lack of bathrooms and running water wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Some members of the group were teammates and coaches. But there was nothing competitive or ski-related about the trip. We saw very few people aside from our group. There were two other groups that we saw occasionally. Thankfully, those groups were able to help us when we needed it most. They ran the biggest rapid before we did, so we could see how it would run and helped patch a massive hole in one of our rafts. The raft trip was an incredible experience and I am grateful I had that opportunity. But after five days I was also thrilled to go home to my shower. It was a refreshing change to spend my days outdoors paddling and hiking instead of endless gym sessions. The trip left me re-energized and eager to throw myself into my summer training. ^ Top
The Season Begins in Colorado Springs - May 19, 2013
The 2013-2014 season starts now. And it starts here at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. The upcoming season is a big one and I'm going to be ready. I've officially moved to Colorado Springs for the summer. The more I move around, the more I feel as though I truly live out of my suitcase. I've now lived in five different cities since I started ski racing six years ago. I am excited to explore a new city, and I've already found some of the perks of living here. For starters, it almost never rains and when rain does fall, it never lasts more than ten minutes. The lack of rain is a huge bonus since my main source of transportation is bike. Speaking of biking, I've only begun to discover all the biking trails nearby. Luckily, all the streets are a grid, so it is easy to find my way around. I am living in Colorado Springs so I can train at the Olympic Training Center (OTC). Olympic Training Centres are elite training facilities for high-performance American athletes. There are three OTCs spread across the US. The other two are in Chula Vista and Lake Placid. Each location tends to specialize in certain sports. Colorado Springs, for example, has lots of wrestlers, swimmers, and triathletes as well as para-alpine skiers. I'd never been to any of the OTCs before I moved to Colorado Springs. The season kicked off with a team training camp at the OTC. I moved here just a few days before the camp started. During the camp we used the pool, and dorms as well as the gym. We also went for bike rides and had numerous classroom sessions about everything from nutrition to sport psychology. It was the first time I saw my teammates in an environment without skiing. It was a great way to start an important season. The team OTC camp was my first taste of what summer will bring. It was just a sampling of the workouts and bike rides that will continue into the fall. This summer I will work harder, and be stronger than any previous year. It is the first time that I've been a full-time athlete in the summer. Usually I work full-time in the summers and squeeze workouts into busy evenings. I've had a great introduction to Colorado Springs and the OTC through the team training camp. I look forward to the rest of the summer and getting prepared for the upcoming season. ^ Top
Next Generation - May 11, 2013
This past week I had the opportunity to speak to four groups of children from three different elementary schools. I showed them my prosthetic leg and talked about para-alpine skiing and the Paralympics. I brought some of my old legs for the kids to pass around. I also showed them how my outriggers work and some ski pictures and video. It was nice to have an influence on the next generation and expose them to new things. I have done some speaking in the past, but not as much as I would've liked. Usually, I cannot go to schools because I am working on workdays. Having time to speak is definitely a benefit of being a full-time athlete. The kids were very enthusiastic and had plenty of questions. I hope they learned something from the experience. Here are some of the memorable/common questions and my answers: Q: What is the worst disability to have? A: A bad attitude. Q: How do you put your pants on? A: The same way as you do! One leg and then the other. Q: Do you wish that you were born with two legs? A: Absolutely not! The idea of having two legs seems a bit weird to me. I know who I am. But if I'd been born with two legs, I would be a different person. I would've had a totally different set of opportunities available to me. Q: Did you get bullied in school? A: No. My classmates knew about my leg and treated me the same as everyone else. Q: Can I touch your leg? A: Sure, thanks for asking first. It was interesting to see how different kids reacted to my leg. The kids who had previous exposure to disabilities thought it was cool. Some of the children who had never met anyone with a disability initially thought my leg was weird or scary. Once I showed them how my leg works and all the things I can do, it wasn't scary anymore. I hope that the next time these kids see a prosthetic their first reaction will be "Cool!". Thank you to all the teachers and students who welcomed me into their schools. Maybe some of the kids will become Olympic or Paralympic athletes when they grow up! ^ Top
Free Time - April 25, 2013
Now that my racing is finished for the season, I've had time to have fun on skis. I had a blast and it was a refreshing change. Even though I love training, it was nice to take a break and ski a variety of terrain. Most years, I have to fly home to Toronto after my last races. And there isn't any snow or skiing on Toronto. This was the first time that I've had a chance to free-ski after my last races of the season. So I truly appreciated the opportunity to explore hidden parts of the mountain. I skied on powder days, moguls, jumps, groomers, treed runs and plenty more. While I did some free-skiing earlier in the season as well, it is different knowing that I don't have any upcoming races. There is a sense of having no pressure to perform. The focus was on doing what I wanted and having fun. Usually I like to be on the lift as soon as it opens. But the past few weeks, I discovered that I can sleep in and still have a great day on the slopes. At Aspen Highlands, there is a bowl that is great to ski, but the only way to get there is to hike. All season I've been wanting to do the hike, but the timing was never right. Finally, on the last weekend of the season, I had a chance to do hike the Highlands bowl. I hiked with a group of people that included two other disabled athletes from my team and a few of our coaches. It took over an hour, but it wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it might be. I took my time and enjoyed the camaraderie along the way. It was a great experience. Unfortunately we were in the middle of a cloud most of the time so we could not see the view and skiing down was a bit tricky at times. I can't wait to do the hike again on a sunny day so I can see the incredible views. Maybe next time I will aim for under an hour. Although I had a lot of fun being a ski bum for the past few weeks, I can't wait to start training on snow again. Skiing is finished for the season and I've had an amazing break from training. Now is the time of year to hit the gym and start preparing for next season. ^ Top
Double Nationals - April 2, 2013
The last couple of weeks were busy with travelling and racing. First, I was in Park City for US Nationals. After US Nationals I was only home long enough to unpack, ski for a day and repack for Canadian Nationals in Sun Peaks, BC. There were a lot of similarities between the races north and south of the border. My results were similar in both races. I earned bronze medals in all three slalom races. There was one slalom in Park City and two at Sun Peaks. I placed fourth in GS (Giant Slalom) races at both venues. It is a complete coincidence that I had similar results at both venues. For the most part I was racing against different women in each place because not all the Canadians attended US Nationals and not all the Americans went to Canadian Nationals. Both races involved driving team vehicles in a caravan. I spent plenty of time to knitting to pass the time during the road trips. For both races we arrived the day before the race and did not get a chance to ski the terrain until our first race. To be honest, I prefer to ski the race run at least once in the days preceding the race especially when a number of my competitors have that advantage. It is ideal to be familiar with the terrain, snow conditions, and weather before the race. At least I had the benefit of having raced in both venues before. However, it had been at least a couple years since I'd been to Park City and the last time I went to Sun Peaks was four years ago. I didn't remember details of the terrain at either hill as well as I'd hoped I would. Both races were in late March and featured spring skiing conditions. Although both venues had to deal with melting snow, the snow conditions on the race track were surprisingly different between the two mountains. Park City was tricky because the conditions were not consistent. There was a mix of rock solid surface and slush. There was also a powder day with limited visibility resulting in the cancellation of a race. Sun Peaks on the other hand, had blue skies every day and an impressive track which was perfect in the mornings. For the most part, we raced in the morning, before the afternoon melt turned the snow to slush. We raced one run of GS in the afternoon. GS is usually a very technical event, but on that particular afternoon wax was very important due to the wet melting track. I felt my ski sticking to the snow which is not very fast. The whirlwind of double nationals races was a great experience and I enjoyed both events. ^ Top
Airtime - March 9, 2013
My schedule this season includes an unusually long period between races. There are seven whole weeks between the speed NorAm in Kimberley and the upcoming Nationals in Park City. I was a little bit nervous about staying and training for such a long period of time. I worried that it would get monotonous and boring. I thought that I might get stuck in a training rut without a change of scenery to launch me out of the rut. But I was wrong. It turns out that this long training block is flying by quickly. I am enjoying having a solid routine that doesn't include packing or travelling. Despite my contentment with training, I was still happy to mix things up this week. We got the opportunity to try something completely different. As part of AVSC (Aspen Valley Ski & Snowboard Club), we have connections with the other branches of AVSC including the Freestyle/Freeride program. Many of these athletes practice their tricks on AVSC's airbag before trying them out on snow. The adaptive AVSC team was given the chance to try jumping on the airbag. On Wednesday, after a full morning of GS training, we went over to the airbag for a few jumps. I've never done a jump like that before and it was incredible. You can get as much air as you want and barely feel the landing. It's softer than landing in a bouncy castle. But my favourite part was that moment when I was airborne and it just felt like I was on top of the world. Wednesday's airbag session was such a success, that we were invited to jump again on Friday. This time, with Warren Miller's film crew on hand to catch the excitement on camera. They filmed us in gates and free-skiing as well as on the airbag. I was torn between training and jumping and wanted to do both. In the end I only got one jump on the airbag. But that's fine, because it was a good one. A couple of my teammates mastered back flips in their monoskis which was really cool. It was exciting to try the airbag, and I'm grateful that I had the opportunity. I will now shift my focus to training since there are some races at the end of March. But I hope that we will have another chance to play on the airbag after all the races are finished. ^ Top
Home Away From Home - February 4, 2013
At the end of January I travelled from one home-away-from-home to another home-away-from-home. I went to Kimberly, BC to compete in the annual speed Nor Am. It was great to go back to a place that feels like home even though I hadn't been there for two years. I have a plethora of memories of Kimberly including the places I stayed, the adventures I had, and the friends I made. For better and for worse I've seen numerous life changing moments for myself and my teammates happen on this mountain. Although I didn't get to talk to everyone I hoped to see in the four days I was there, it is amazing how many familiar faces I saw. My comfort in Kimberley helped me ski my best. Plenty of coaches, officials, and athletes took the time to comment on how well I skied. It was certainly better than the skiing I'd done earlier in the season. While other athletes experienced fear (either consciously or subconsciously) and skied conservatively, I felt completely comfortable and my only thought was trying to figure out how to go faster. It paid off. I skied well and earned a gold medal in the second Downhill race. I also earned two silver medals; one in Downhill and one in Super G. Although I skied very well and had good results, I know that I was capable of more. I made a couple of mistakes that really cost me. In the first Downhill race, I took a detour off course. I needed to get back on course but my ski was aimed at a gate. I knew there was the risk of hitting the gate and getting ejected out of my ski, but I didn't hesitate. I just tucked, stayed on a clean arc and hoped for the best. Luckily it worked out, I managed to get back on my line with my adrenaline pumping from the near miss. Although I am happy with finishing second despite a major error, I know that I would've been faster without the detour. The reality is that I knew where I needed to go and I should not have gotten off line. My other major mistake was in the second Super G race. I fell and did not finish the race. I wish that I had video to watch what happened. I had made a very small mistake earlier in the course, but overall it felt like everything was going well. I felt like I had everything under control and I had good speed. But then my ski just slid out from under me and it was over. If I had video then I would know what went wrong. Maybe I didn't have good body position, or maybe I just pushed too far for the snow conditions. In the split second before I fell, I thought I had good body position, but maybe I misjudged. So it is a bit of a mystery and also a disappointment. I had a great time in Kimberly and skied well. It was a great race and I had good results despite my mistakes. I will add another batch of memories to my Kimberly pile. I have left my BC home-away-from-home and returned to my Colorado home-away-from-home. ^ Top
Winter Park Open - January 6, 2013
We had our second set of races for the season at chilly Winter Park resort. Although it was a lot smaller than the Copper races, it turned out better than I expected. We had four races over three days. The three days went quickly. I still felt like I'd just arrived when it was time to start packing up and heading home again. I admit that I was struggling to ski my best at this set of races. In fact, I always have difficulty with the terrain at Winter Park. It is a tough place to race, especially when I've never had the chance to train there. Like most racers, I always ski better when I am familiar with the terrain. There are plenty of athletes who train at Winter Park full-time. I chose to train at Aspen instead of Winter Park. Although I do not regret that decision for a second, I don't know if I will ever excel at Winter Park races. Having said that, I did actually manage to win one of the races. Unfortunately I did not ski as well in the other three races and landed lower on the podium than I'd hoped. Between the Copper and Winter Park Nor Ams, it seems like we've had a lot of races in a short period of time. I am excited to return to Aspen and focus on training for a few weeks. I think I need to take a step back and reinforce the basics so I can continue to improve. I want to arrive at the next set of races more ready than ever before. ^ Top

Governor Pat Quinn and Mayor Tim Davlin hosted a re-opening ceremony at the Dana-Thomas House at 1:30pm Thursday, April 23, 2009. Students from Lawrence Education Center were invited by Jan Grimes, Director of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, to attend this special event. Because of the connection of the Lawrence Memorial Library, also designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Susan Lawrence Dana and the Dana-Thomas House have always been special to our school.
LEC students had the opportunity to personally meet Springfield Mayor Tim Davlin, Governor Pat Quinn, DTH Site Manager Don Hallmark, and "Susan Lawrence Dana" herself. After listening to the remarks made by many the many individuals responsible for assisting with the re-opening of Illinois' Historic Sites, the students then went on a self-guided tour of the house.
It was a remarkable day in Illinois history, and the students at Lawrence Education Center were thankful to be a part of it.

PSA: Handicapped Placards
Just because something is the "expected" use for an item does not mean that it is the only use. Baking soda is a perfect example. As a cooking aid, baking soda is considered a "leavening" agent. In other words, baking soda can be used to help bread rise. Often mistaken with baking powder, baking soda does not help breads and cakes rise but does give them form without significant altering the taste. Many people also know that baking soda can serve as an odor absorber, but it has other uses as well, such as the ability to put out a fire.
Baking soda is made primarily of a compound called sodium bicarbonate. This compound is a base, and it reacts to acids. When there is a fire, baking soda reacts with the oxygen in the fire to create carbon dioxide and extinguish the fire.
Living with a rare illness, particularly one that has been named for only 25 years, can be a challenge. Family members, educators, and even medical professionals are sometimes unfamiliar with the illness, pushing the patient to learn how to manage sometimes without expert help. POTS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, is one such disease.
POTS is a form of dysautonomia, itself an umbrella term for a range of conditions related to malfunctioning autonomic nervous system process. The symptoms of POTS include blood pressure decreases, heart rate increases, lightheadedness, fatigue, and other sometimes overlapping symptoms.
A recent book Power over POTS, written by Dr. Scheldon Kress, addresses this condition. Kress has 30 years of experience as an internist but was unaware of POTS until his grandson received this diagnosis. His book is intended to aid people who are struggling to live with this condition. A 2010 article in the Journal of Pediatrics argued that because the first pediatric case of POTS was not identified until 1999, there is not enough information available to diagnose and manage this illness effectively. The article's author argues that the goal should be to have controlled clinical trials to help provide data on the topic.
While Kress' book is not a clinical trial, it does have the benefit of being written by someone who has a medical degree and who has personal experience with managing the disease. If you or someone you know is dealing with POTS, this book is a must-read to help with lifestyle alterations to manage this debilitating illness.

I'm not sure why Shauna Sands is a celebrity. Maybe it's for her breakthrough role as Stripper #1 in a 2004 episode of Las Vegas, or perhaps as Jacuzzi Woman in the shamefully overlooked masterpiece Succubus: Hell Bent. Or maybe it's because she is the first woman to successfully have lips cut off a trout and transplanted onto her face. For whatever reason, the former Playboy Bunny and ex-wife of Lorenzo Lamas (also not sure why he is famous) has carved out a nice niche as a gossip blog regular.

Maya and Tropic Air planes clip wings at San Pedro airstrip
Monday, July 24th, 2017
On Monday, July 24th, a Maya Island Air and Tropic Air plane reportedly clipped wings around 9AM while on the tarmac at the San Pedro airport. Although it was confirmed by the Belize Department of Civil Aviation (BDCA) that no one sustained injures, the collision has allegedly put both planes out of commission.
According to Lindsay Garbutt, Director of Civil Aviation of the BDCA, information regarding the incident is currently being gathered. "I have sent two inspectors to check on the matter, and I am just waiting on the report. Afterwards, [we] will sit down with the entities that manage that specific airport, which is the Belize Airport Authority, and look at measures to ensure that incidents like this does not happen again," said Garbutt.
"Tropic Air was taxiing to the gate at the airport when our airline's wings collided. However, no one was injured," stated John Grief III, President of Tropic Air, who confirmed that the incident did occur.
The San Pedro Sun contacted Maya Island Air for a comment, but attempts have been fruitless. The San Pedro Sun will have more information as it becomes available.

The wait was a little too long for him in the morning and the speakers were VERY loud but other than that, we thought it was very well organised and a great way to engage the school community and keep active. Thank you.

"Opps, I did it again" as the song says. After the #bikeintweed2013 event, where I and a friend participated on a blue Rex Duplex tandem (the bicycle belonged to the friend). I realized that it is really fun to ride a tandem bicycle. So, just for fun I started to look in the local ads for old tandem bicycles. No luck right away, but a few months later. There it was. The perfect project for me, I do not mind working, renovating and fixing. Quite the opposite. I enjoy working with my hands. Just take a look at "Lady blue", she is soon ready for the spring sun.
The Rex tandem was for sale just outside a town 2 hours car travel from here. My brother helped out and said that we could make it as a road trip. Chat about life and get up to date with everything meanwhile driving there. Join pleasure with work, in a way . So, we went there a few days later. I had told the fellow with the ad that I would buy the bicycle and left a deposit. It was fine with him. He also told me that he would tell me the story behind it as he knew when we picked the bicycle up.
We got there, in the middle of nowhere, sometimes the modern technology is great to have. Thanks to the GPS, we found the sellers place right away.
There is was, dirty and a bit rusty, after all it is 60-70 years old. All parts needed where there, no parts were missing. Some where new, but nothing critical. He told me that he bought the bicycle 1.5 years ago, as it turned out from the same area where I live now. The bicycle was going "home" so to speak. He also told me the that he and his wife were using it on some cultural events in this small town. But she did not like to sit and being not able to steer, she was a used to ride a regular bicycle and able to steer. But the main reason was that he after visited the cultural event and he had one to many to drink and was going to dismount, his leg got caught in the rear handlebar and he fell, with the bicycle on top of him, rather bad. Causing him a 9 week sick leave. Or as he put it "it became a very expensive bicycle".
After some more talk and him showing us some other projects he had in his garage. I gave him the money, I got a receipt we said good by and my brother and I lifted up the bicycle on the car roof and secured it. Let us go back home!
The journey home was calm and with no major issues. Back home, we unload the bicycle and I put it in the basement along with "Lady blue", "Black Malin" and "Mr Hermes". It starts to look like an bicycle shop there.
Little about the bicycle itself.
This Rex Duplex tandem bicycle is made about 1940 in the Swedish town of Halmstad. (Here is a small film about the town, but also where they made Rex bicycles click here for the film). It is in Swedish, but it is fun to see the old work shop for bicycles, how they made them, painted and put them together. I realize where I would like to work, sadly 70 years to late. The word Duplex is the name of the frame style with two frame tubes on top curving down to the rear wheel hub. All Rex tandems where of this style and it was a very popular and steady frame, at least I have never seen a Rex tandem without this frame. Many of the standard Rex bicycles got this double frame to.
About the tandems, entire family's used to ride them, father and mother on the seats, kids on the luggage rack and so on. In the years before the 2'nd world war and up to the 1950's the main way to get around was with a bicycle. Tandems where good for family vacations, just add an small trolley at the back. Then you got everything with you. Tent, sleeping bags, stove, food, water. So they are used to pull a heavy load.
The one I bought now has a year stamp on its rear wheel hub, a German Torpedo hub. The wheel itself looks like it has been changed but the stamp says "40" that is a sign for 1940. But it is a good match with the other details on the bicycle. 1930's style ASEA dynamo, pre-rear light, the handlebars has the mid 1930's curves and the seats that where the typical "Terry" seats, today they are really rare in good condition. They where made with soft leather and horse hair as filling. One rain shower and the seat starts to fall apart. Imagen 60 years of being outside. The seats are original, but in very poor condition. The pedals are typical "reform" style. They are badly damaged so I need to find new ones. So all signs says it is from 1940. But one fun detail is that is still got it's original luggage rack. Rex used to weld the rack into the frame itself. So in the 1950's when the "help engines" became popular, many luggage racks where cut of and replaced by an engine. But this one never had that faith coming. That is great!
The only real damage is to the front mud guard. It is as they have being riding down a large curb, and the stone crushed the tail for the mud guard. But since they were so long (deep) back then. I can make a good looking finish to the guard. The main part that is changed is the chain guard. It is made by the fellow I bought the bicycle from. It is a really good and sturdy guard. It is to modern sadly, but it works. I will have a think about that one. Perhaps find two 1930's ones and do a version my self. We will see.
The mechanical issues is only the front crank bearing is loose. I will take a closer look on that one. I see no real problems with it.
It will be a fun project. The nights are saved, no sleep. The light will shine and the smell of oil and grease will again spread in the air.

Tucked away, next to the Satpura Reserve lies this beautiful safari lodge, beckoning the eager traveller to rest and recuperate from long days spent on that hard office chair.
And what an adventure it can be – a two-hour boat ride on the sparkling blue Denwa River will leave you mesmerised with dreamy views of Pachmarhi hills and the occasional water birds flying alongside.
Before you know it, you will find yourself being rushed away in a jeep, deeper into the woods. And unexpectedly, the The River's Secret will pop right in front of you, unlike anything you would have ever seen.
And whether you decide to go on a safari to find the elusive maneater, stay back and read a book beside the pool or feel like reminiscing childhood memories in your treehouse, we guarantee you wouldn't want to leave!
This Unhotel offers two types of accommodation – 8 deluxe cottages and 2 tree houses; both hugely indulgent. While the cottages come with cute river-facing sit-outs, the treehouses have private decks that look out to the rolling hills of Pachmarhi.
The treehouses have a partition that can be opened up to make it one large family suite. They also come with a well stocked reading-room that will fuel your imagination for hours at end.
All suites come with furniture made of recycled wood, crisp linen and decorated with paintings by local artists. This is a No Plastic unhotel; guests are handed a flask (which can be carried away) in which fresh drinking water is filled everyday. All this in keeping with our motto of responsible luxury. Even the rooms are made up of local stones and baked tiles.
If you choose, you can sleep under the stars; just let the crew know and the lodge will make special arrangements for you.
Meals are served in the quaint dining hall that looks over the Denwa River. The River's Secret serves an assortment of central Indian and continental cuisine with locally sourced ingredients. The food is prepared under the guidance of a well-known Indian chef.
Here you can enjoy a wide selection of alcohol with your scrumptious meal while looking out over the unsullied landscape.
The River's Secret has a luxurious but eco-friendly infinity pool. Guests can also go for a spa after a long day spent in the wilderness.
Please note that credit card facility at this Unhotel is not available.
The River's Secret has a plethora of activities aimed at bringing you close to nature. Enjoy walking safari, boat safari, kayaking, elephant safari and jeep safari inside the neighbouring Satpura Reserve. If you are lucky enough, you'll be able to spot leopard, sloth bears, wild cats, kingfishers, storks, egrets, cormorants and more.
The safaris are operated by the locals and the lodge's in-house expert naturalists accompany guests on all activities. There is also a buffer area for cycling, night safaris and camping.
The Satpura Nature Reserve is the only in the country that allows enthusiasts to hike inside the core tiger and buffer zones – all making for a one-of-its kind wildlife experience.
A unique luxury safari lodge in one of the most beautiful forest lands of the country. The lodge has been mainly built using local materials like stone, baked tiles yet the design is contemporary safari style. Its classy aesthetics, great comfort and delicious food make it a perfect unhotel.
For those who are looking for a luxury getaway in the midst of nature, whose idea of a relaxed holiday is getting closer to flora and fauna and prefer jungle safaris. For those who love to be more responsible towards nature while travelling.
Those who find it hard to leave their digital addiction behind might consider skipping this one. Also not for those who are not particularly fond of wildlife or adventure. Not for families with kids who may insist on all the modern amenities and action of a traditional hotel. This is also NOT for the wallet conscious traveller.

Shard Summit brings together UK/US metro mayors
Seven months after taking office, England's new metro mayors will come together next week with counterparts from US cities for the UK's first ever international mayoral summit in London, reports Kevin Johnson.
The UK-International Metro Mayors' Summit, organised by the respected think tank Centre for Cities, Citi and Boston University's Initiative on Cities, will take place on 5th December.
It will bring together the new metro mayors, who were elected in six of England's biggest city regions in May this year with mayors from American cities including Louisville, Tampa, Fort Worth, Charleston and Providence – places which face similar policy challenges to the UK's mayoral city regions.
The University of Warwick is also supporting the Summit along with UK programme partner Arup and Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Andy Street will be joined by the other new metro mayors:
- James Palmer, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
- Andy Burnham, Greater Manchester
- Steve Rotheram, Liverpool City Region
- Ben Houchen, Tees Valley
- Tim Bowles, West of England.
US mayors taking part in the summit include:
- John Tecklenburg, Charleston (South Carolina)
- Betsy Price, Fort Worth (Texas)
- Greg Fischer, Louisville (Kentucky)
- Jorge Elorza, Providence (Rhode Island)
- Bob Buckhorn, Tampa (Florida).
The Summit kicks off on Tuesday morning at Warwick Business School's facility at London's Shard building with a keynote discussion about the role and responsibilities of mayors in the 21st Century – locally, nationally and internationally.
Centre for Cities says the Summit has three central aims:
- To support UK and US mayors to create a platform to exchange ideas and experiences
- To help the mayors develop a global network that will enable them to maximise their collective influence
- To explore new business and trading opportunities for their respective city regions.
Simon Swain, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for External Engagement at the University of Warwick, commented:
We are delighted to be supporting this important Summit and look forward to welcoming UK and US Mayors to WBS London.
The formation of the West Midlands Combined Authority and the election of a Mayor for the West Midlands have been very significant developments for our region.
This Summit will provide a vital opportunity to bring together UK metro mayors and some of their US counterparts to share experiences and take a lead on policy solutions.
As this Summit will demonstrate, leading academic institutions – both in the US and UK – are playing an ever more active role in partnership with political leaders, businesses and others in areas ranging from improving productivity to automotive technology.
The Summit will also offer the mayors the opportunity to meet with UK government ministers including Greg Clark, Secretary of States for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. He will advise the mayors on how they can make the most of their individual and collective influence to lobby national governments.
Other summit sessions will examine issues such as how the mayors can use their formal and informal powers most effectively, what they should consider when building their mayoral institutions, and how they can develop a positive brand for their city regions.
Andrew Carter, Chief Executive of the think tank Centre for Cities, said:
The election of England's metro mayors in May this year was a landmark moment in the UK's devolution process, and one Centre for Cities had long campaigned for.
Now we want to ensure the mayors can be as effective as possible in their first term, by learning from the experiences of their US peers.
We hope this summit will be the first step in forging a partnership between the UK and US mayors which will enable them to have the biggest possible impact – both in their city regions, and on the national and global stages.
Bob Annibale, Global Director of Community Development and Inclusive Finance at Citi said:
The UK's newly elected metro mayors have the opportunity and responsibility to develop new and innovative policies in a range of areas that are critically important to sustainable regional growth including housing, transport and education.
This summit provides an essential platform for experienced U.S. mayors to share ideas, best practices and expertise with their U.K. counterparts as they develop their policy agendas.
Graham Wilson, Director, Boston University Initiative on Cities, said:
Mayors around the world are taking the lead in addressing problems not only of local, but of international significance.
The opportunities this summit offers for dialogue between experienced US mayors and UK mayors, who are in practice creating the office not only for themselves, but for their successors for decades, is an exciting example of transatlantic dialogue.

World Cup winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari led Guangzhou Evergrande to a seventh successive Chinese Super League title on Sunday with a 5-1 win over Guizhou Zhicheng at Tianhe Stadium.
With closest challenger Shanghai SIPG losing 2-1 at home to Guangzhou R&F, Evergrande is now nine points clear at the top of the 16-team league with two games remaining.
Scolari, appointed in 2015, announced earlier this month that he will leave China when his contract expires on Nov. 30. The Brazilian has led Guangzhou to three domestic titles as well as the Asian Champions League in 2015. Scolari led Brazil to its last World Cup title in 2002.
Gao Lin opened the scoring after 15 minutes and Alan Junior extended Guangzhou's lead a short time later. Guizhou pulled a goal back before the break but Du Wei, Yu Hanchao and Muriqui completed the win to seal the title.
Shanghai, which spent more than $100 million on Brazilian stars Hulk and Oscar in 2016, has seen its season fizzle out. Eliminated from the Asian Champions League semifinal in midweek by Urawa Reds of Japan, a first domestic title will also now have to wait.
Guangzhou R&F took a 2-0 lead and while Hulk pulled a goal back to make amends for a first-half penalty miss, Shanghai, led by former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur coach Andre Villas-Boas, was unable to get the win it needed to keep its faint title hopes alive.
At the other end of the standings, Fabio Capello led Jiangsu Suning to safety despite losing 3-1 at Changchun. The Italian was appointed by the struggling Nanjing team in June.

Updated National Osteoporosis Society guideline on vitamin D
A guideline on which patients to test and who to treat for vitamin D deficiency
A guideline on which patients to test and who to treat for vitamin D deficiency
Essential facts
Vitamin D helps regulate levels of the body's calcium and phosphate, nutrients that are essential for healthy bones, teeth and muscles.
There is also a potential role for vitamin D in the prevention of non-skeletal disorders, such as autoimmune disease, cancer, mental health problems and cardiovascular disease.
The body creates vitamin D during exposure of the skin to direct sunlight. From late March to the end of September, therefore, most people should produce enough vitamin D.
However, from October to early March, people do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight.
A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone pain caused by osteomalacia in adults.
Vitamin D deficiency is common in the UK, mainly in people:
- Aged 65 years and over.
- Who cover their skin for cultural reasons.
- Who have darker skin, for example, those of African, African-Caribbean and south Asian origin.
What's new?
The National Osteoporosis Society has published an updated guideline, Vitamin D and Bone Health: A Practical Clinical Guideline for Patient Management.
This aims to provide healthcare professionals with clarity about which patients to test for vitamin D deficiency and who to treat, with new information on toxicity levels.
People to test for vitamin D deficiency include:
- Those with bone disease, such as confirmed osteomalacia or osteoporosis, that could be improved with vitamin D treatment.
- Those with musculoskeletal symptoms that could be attributed to vitamin D deficiency.
- Asymptomatic individuals at high risk of vitamin D deficiency.
- Asymptomatic healthy individuals.
The blood test to estimate vitamin D status measures levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D). Patients with plasma 25(OH)D <25nmol/L are deficient and require treatment.
If healthcare professionals observe symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, they should act quickly. They should also act quickly if patients are about to start treatment with potent antiresorptive agents, such as zoledronate, denosumab or teriparatide.
Patients should take about 300,000 IU vitamin D3 or D2 orally in divided doses over 6-10 weeks.
Maintenance vitamin D should be started four weeks after loading doses.
If correction of vitamin D deficiency is less urgent, and when co-prescribing vitamin D supplements with an oral antiresorptive agent, maintenance therapy may be started without the use of loading doses: 800-2,000 IU vitamin D3 daily or intermittently at higher equivalent dose.
Monitoring and toxicity
Healthcare professionals should be aware that vitamin D treatment, particularly when combined with calcium supplementation, can reveal previously undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism.
The dosing regimen is unlikely to result in toxicity, but serum adjusted calcium should be measured one month after treating with loading doses of vitamin D.
Expert comment
Debbie Janaway is the osteoporosis and falls nurse consultant at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. She is a nurse member of the National Osteoporosis Society Clinical and Scientific Committee and represents the RCN on the Fracture Liaison Service Advisory Board
'Vitamin D deficiency causes osteomalacia in adults and rickets in children, and can lead to bone, joint and muscle pain and muscle weakness.
'In older people, the high prevalence of deficiency and insufficiency causes falls and fragility fractures.
'Correction of vitamin D deficiency is essential in osteomalacia and beneficial in osteoporosis. It is also required for some people receiving treatments for osteoporosis.
'This guideline will enable healthcare professionals to know when, and importantly, if to test.
'It provides details about measuring plasma levels to clarify whether someone is deficient in vitamin D.
'Reassurance about toxicity levels will allow healthcare professionals to be confident when making treatment decisions. Clarity about the correct individuals to target will enable healthcare professionals to reassure patients who are at low risk of deficiency and do not need testing or treating.
'Nurses will find the pull-out quick guide provides simple details about who is at risk, how and when to test, interpreting results, treatment recommendations, dosing of vitamin D supplements, lifestyle recommendations and follow up.'

Detroit, known also as Motor City, is the largest city in the state of Michigan. Famed for its once dominant auto industry and as the birthplace of the Motown sound, a soul-influenced genre of pop music, it has seen hard times. The city is beginning to experience a resurgence through a determined effort by local government to regain control of its finances and invest in revitalization. Visitors can witness this transformation as it develops, and reflect on the checkered history of this once mighty metropolis. If you visit Detroit during the summer months, you'll find temperatures of 80 – 84 degrees Fahrenheit. It's high tourist season, with a busy schedule of festivals and events, so flight and accommodation prices will be at their peak. In winter, Detroit is frigid, with daily high temperatures at 29 – 39 degrees Fahrenheit. You won't have to fight the crowds though, so it could be a good time to travel here. The only busy period is between Christmas and New Year's Eve. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall offer moderate temperatures, and fall is less busy than spring, so it may be a better choice for your Detroit getaway.
Book direct flights to Detroit from cities across the US with Delta, United, jetBlue, American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, or Spirit Airlines. Flights with one or more stops are available from Korean Air or China Eastern.
Detroit Metro Airport is a major international airport with 2 terminals covering 4,850 acres in Romulus, a suburb of Detroit. You have several options for travel from the airport into Downtown Detroit.
Only 2 taxi companies are authorized to operate at the airport; you'll find them in the ground transportation center at both terminals, on level 4. The trip into Detroit will take around 30 minutes and cost you about $44.00 USD.
Commercial shuttles and hotel courtesy shuttles are available at ground transportation for both terminals. You may prearrange pickup. Always ask when booking a hotel if they offer shuttle services.
Public Transportation

Public Transportation
Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) buses serve most parts of the city. An adult fare is $1.50 USD and children under 44 inches ride free with an adult.

They charge $2.50 USD to start, with an additional $1.00 USD per mile, and a waiting charge of $24.00 USD per hour, plus tips. You may get a cheaper ride if you call Uber or Lyft; both services operate in Detroit.

You're to blame as well! Conte hits back at Lennon after foul play in first leg in Glasgow
Neil Lennon was embroiled in a Champions League war of words with Antonio Conte after the Juventus coach claimed Celtic were equally guilty of foul play during the first leg last month.
The Parkhead club sought UEFA clarification over the refereeing of Spanish official Alberto Mallenco amid claims of rough-house defending by the Serie A giants in their 3-0 win in Glasgow.
In response, however, Conte claims Celtic striker Gary Hooper persistently impeded goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon at set-pieces — and has himself threatened to raise the issue with UEFA.
Tussle: Celtic striker Gary Hooper tangles with Stephan Lichtsteiner during the first leg
'As a coach, Lennon is doing very well and achieving really great things,' said Conte. 'Celtic played really well in the first leg but, if I'm going to analyse the game well, I can't just look at our game, but also theirs.
'And I say that every time it starts, or there is a corner to Celtic, there is always punishment in favour of the defending team because there is a Celtic player who systematically blocks our goalkeeper in the six-yard box. In the case of the first leg, it was Hooper.
'The regulation says that in the six-yard box, a goalkeeper must not be touched and, if he is, it is a foul.
Big lead: Juventus enter the second leg on the back of a 3-0 win in Glasgow
'So I say every time there is a player that goes in there, then all angles show there was a foul in favour of Juventus.
'He (Lennon) talks about the rules, so maybe I'll bring a dossier about the Celtic player blocking our goalkeeper.
'I repeat, we tried to gloss over these things.
'Maybe I'm being European and Lennon is being Italian.'
Down and out: Celtic's players stand dejected after Juventus' third goal in the first leg
Those words drew a stinging response from Celtic's manager, however, and he said: 'Hooper is allowed to stand in front of Buffon. He (Conte) is talking rubbish. Any player can stand anywhere he likes in the box.
'He's not affecting the goalkeeper, he's not touching the goalkeeper and he's not preventing him from getting the ball.
'If he prevents him from getting the ball then, yes, it's a free-kick.
'But before the ball is kicked he's not doing anything and he is entitled to stand where he likes. So he is talking nonsense.'
Getting ready: Celtic players trained at Juventus Stadium on Tuesday night
Hooper was actually booked, together with captain Scott Brown, after wrestling bouts with Stephan Lichtsteiner and Simone Padoin were penalised by Mallenco.
Lennon insisted, however: 'Gary wasn't doing anything wrong. And what about Scott Brown?
'Padoin came on and the first thing he did was put his arms around Scott's waist. 'He got booked for it and then he did the same thing again straight away.
'At the first corner of the night Gary ended up in the goal — in the back of the net. So how does that happen without him being wrestled in there?
Boss: Conte took charge of a Juventus training session in Turin on Tuesday
'I'm not sure Gary did a lot wrong. And, if you look at the Padoin one, Scott did nothing wrong.
'He was actually trying to run away from him and he still got wrestled to the ground. And that was after Padoin was booked. The cameras were transfixed on it — so how the ref didn't see it, I don't know.
'And I don't know what the other two (officials) were doing behind the goals either.'
The Scottish champions were promised a UEFA response to their complaints but a call from retired Italian official Pierluigi Collina failed to materialise.
Turkish official Firat Aydinus has been handed only his second Champions League tie this evening, Lennon adding: 'Peter (Lawwell) said he will get a call but we haven't had anything yet. I am disappointed but is it really a surprise?

'We have a Turkish referee tomorrow. I don't know what Turkish referees are like but I hope he's stronger than the Spanish one.
'They are the top referees in their countries, so you expect them to be competent. I have no idea if he'll be aware of what happened in the first game and I don't want to be trying to prejudice the game going into it.
'All I want is him to do his job and I don't think Mallenco did his job properly in the first leg. I don't think I've seen it as blatant as that, ever.'
The Celtic boss is without skipper Brown for the return, but hopes Charlie Mulgrew can feature at some stage after injury.
'Charlie's all right,' said Lennon. 'He trained yesterday but that was his first proper training session, so it might be a bit much to stick him in straight away. We'll see how he is.'
