Born in Jamaica in 1959, she moved to Canada in 1972. She went on to simultaneously study at York University as well as compete on the Canadian national team as a Sprinter. She was chosen to represent Canada at the 1980 Olympic Games, however was ultimately unable to do so, given Canada’s boycott of that Olympic session in Moscow in protest of the Soviet Union’s actions in Afghanistan. Killingbeck did get the opportunity to compete in the 1984 games held in Los Angeles, as well as the 1988 games in Seoul.
Killingbeck stood on the podium many times throughout her athletic career, taking home a gold medal in the 1982 Commonwealth games for the 4x400 relay and a silver medal in the 4x100. She has her own PAN AM medals from the 4x400 relay in 1983 and 1987. Twice she was named the York University Athlete of the Year.
It certainly wasn’t all gold medals and victory laps for Killingbeck, however. At the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, she was bumped while running the second leg of the relay, dropping the baton and eliminating the Canadians’ hopes for a medal.
After retirement from running, Killingbeck stayed on the track and field scene, coaching for six years at Windsor before returning to her alma mater of York University to coach. Now, while she acts as a sport manager for the PAN AMs, Killingbeck and her family are based out of Port Credit. As a sports manager, the learning curve has been steep—Killingbeck had no prior experience with mountain biking, canoe slalom or shooting when she agreed to the position. But that’s been a lot of the fun, she says. What did she do immediately after she was assigned these sports? Turned to Google, just like the rest of us probably would in this day and age. “Right after I found out that I would be responsible for shooting, mountain biking and canoe slalom, I hopped on YouTube to get a sense of what the play is like,” Molly says with a chuckle.
When asked if there is anything in particular that she is looking forward to about these games, Killingbeck’s history as an athlete shines through. “In the canoe slalom and the shooting events, these games are an Olympic qualifier,” she says.
Once the events she is organizing are over, Killingbeck says she will definitely be making her way to the track events, looking forward to seeing the strong American and Jamaican sprint teams run.
Unsurprisingly, she remains active; counting walks and runs along the Waterfront Trail, through Rattray Marsh and in Jack Darling Park as among her favourites. Molly, her husband, Liam and son, Quinn (who attends Cawthra Park High School), enjoy many of the annual events that make Port Credit stand apart, including the Southside Shuffle, Waterfront Festival and Busker Fest. You can also find them at the Brogue on most Thursday nights.
Killingbeck is a prime example of how many people with amazingly rich background stories fly under the radar within our own communities. Next time you bump into someone at a café on Lakeshore, at the finish line of the Mississauga Marathon, or rollerblading along the waterfront, try your hand at getting to know them. You never know, they might be a mother, wife, fellow runner, neighbour, Olympian, or all of the above.

with Molly Killingbeckor Molly Killingbeck, sport is a way of life. The PAN AM Games Sport Manager, responsible for the planning and preparation of the shooting, mountain biking and canoe slalom events is no rookie when it comes to the stress of high pressure
athletic events. But this time around she’s an organizer, not a coach like previously, or an athlete as she was before that. At the conclusion of the games, Killingbeck will truly have had what can only be called the ‘full athletic experience.’

I love going to garage sales! They are an easy way to get rid of the items that no longer serve a purpose or bring you joy. If you’ve never had a garage sale, I hope these few tips will make your garage sale a success.
Smile and have a buddy with youYou’ll want to smile and greet every “customer” so they’ll feel comfortable asking you for a price. People want to buy from the people they like. Have a buddy around so they can help with food, water, bathroom breaks and just to have for moral support.
Have change for large billsI like to have at least $20 in Loonies, Toonies, $5 bills and quarters. I seldom see things for less than 25 cents at a garage sale anymore. Have a little purse or fanny pack to keep on you so you won’t mistakenly leave it lying on one of the “for sale” tables. (I am guilty of doing that. Luckily, a buyer graciously told me about it and handed it back to me!)
Do your research on what to chargeIf what you have is an older item or an antique, then searching prices on-line can help you come up with a price. Check on-line for similar items; take a trip to other area garage sales or a Salvation Army/Goodwill type store to check their prices.
Sell in bulkIf you have a lot of the same items like clothes, books, or toys, I like the “fill this bag for this much” approach to get rid of things in bulk and get rid of some of those used grocery bags you have at the same time!
Select what you priceI don’t put price stickers on small things because if someone really likes the item, they’ll ask for a price. Bigger things like furniture I put a price on using painter’s tape and a Sharpie.
I was recently in one of the largest antique markets in the U.S. and was interested in buying a ceramic pitcher with a $20 price tag. I nicely asked the vendor “could you do any better on the price?” I was hoping for $15 and she gave it to me for $10! Just for being gracious and asking nicely, you sometimes get a great deal that both buyer and seller are happy with.
Happy Shopping!

in Lakeview employed many young women from across Canada in the 1940s
A related project involves removal of graffiti, which has accumulated at the site. Many related, large-scale projects - including the Lakeview Waterfront Connection Project, and the Hanlan Water Project - are now underway on nearby lands.
any of us are unaware of the remarkable history, dating back to the 1940s, that is connected with the Small Arms Building, located at 1352 Lakeshore Road East at the foot of Dixie Road.
Originally dedicated to the inspection of small arms manufactured at a nearby munitions plant during the Second World War, the building was saved from demolition in 2009. After renovations, it will serve as a community centre for arts, heritage, culture, and science.
A Small Arms Garden Group at the building is adding perennials to several raised planters located on the building’s grounds.
As a member of the group explains: “Basically the garden group is planting five of the raised planters with perennials. We are doing our best to use hardy, native plants, but the plants are being donated by members of the gardening group from our own gardens so we will use what we have to fill them in.
“Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is donating mulch and Peel Region the water. This is a small project, but we think it will look much nicer than the weeds currently there.”
M
Saved from demolition in 2009The Small Arms Building was designated as a historical building under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2009. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed. Jim Tovey, now the Ward One Councillor, and the Lakeview community led the effort to save the building.
A well-organized Sledgehammer Ceremony was staged at the Small Arms Building on April 6, 2015. On that day, the demolition of the back end of the interior of the building began. Well-trained volunteers from Habitat for Humanity Halton-Mississauga assisted with the initial demolition phase.
The Bren GunThe site of the Long Branch Aerodrome, the first aerodrome ever built in Canada, is located west of the Small Arms Building. The aerodrome was managed by J.A.D. McCurdy, the first person to fly an airplane (in 1909) in Canada and the British Empire.
Young women from across Canada worked in the Greater Toronto Area during the Second World War producing guns for the war effort overseas. Sten Guns and Enfield Rifles were manufactured at the Small Arms plant and Bren Guns were manufactured at the John Inglis plant in what is now known as Liberty Village in Toronto.
A book by Neil Grant, entitled The Bren Gun (2013), notes that many gunners complained that the latter weapon was sometimes “initially too accurate.” It had such a narrow cone of fire, the book reports, that “when a burst was fired at a group of soldiers, one man would take all the hits, leaving the men on either side of him unhurt.”
Gunners learned to address the problem by fanning the weapon judiciously, or by using worn-out barrels, “which produced a wider cone of fire, until the barrels were resigned on later guns.”

C U C U M B E R S A L A D C U P SThese Cucumber Salad Cups (with avocado-cilantro dressing) are a visually impressive way to serve healthy salad ingredients in a unique and tasty way.
Cut an English cucumber (or field cucumber, but peel it) into slightly more than an inch thickness. Scoop out the seeds and flesh, but don’t remove all of it. Keep a thin layer at the bottom of the piece, so that you can stuff them without the filling coming out. You can easily do this step several hours ahead, or even the night
Prepare the dressing. In a food process or blender, combine the following:
INGREDIENTS:• 1 ripe avocado
• 3/4 cup fresh cilantro (packed)
• 1/2 cup non-fat plain yogurt
• 2 whole green onions
• 1 small clove garlic, cut into quarters
• 1.5 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
(Optional: 1/2 of a jalapeno or 1 tine Thai chili peper, seeds removed).
Chop up your choice of vegetables very finely. I used yellow, green, red and orange bell peppers, carrots, zucchinis. Toss a few tablespoons of avocado dressing onto the veggies to coat them as desired.
Press a nice spoonful of the veggie mixture into each cup.Serve and enjoy your salad in this different, tasty and visually pleasing way. There is no reason you can’t add a little feta cheese to the mix if you’d like
I also placed a nice dollop of this mixture on a piece of oven-baked cod and it was a positively delicious replacement for a sweet salsa.

MISSISSAUGA MARATHONA Fenton Family Experience
y Mississauga Marathon experience began with a bet - and a misplaced one at that. I had mentioned casually off-hand to my well-seasoned runner
father that I was thinking of doing the 10K race - held that night before the Marathon and Half-Marathon event. He responded by leaving my registration on the breakfast table the next morning. He had also left his own, in a not so subtle challenge.
And so, I ended up enrolled in the 10K event – the 12th such iteration in as many years. It was my 1st 10K; my dad’s umpteenth. Yet for two of us - beginner racer and seasoned competitor alike - the Mississauga Marathon proved to be an enjoyable event.
We picked up our race kits at Port Credit Memorial Arena. We were ushered through a well-organized series of booths and stands, which showcased local Mississauga business and offered many freebie products. Clutching my goodie bag, reminiscent of childhood birthday party loot bags, I thought I could get used to this whole racing thing.
We arrived to the start line on race night - a beautiful Saturday evening - to music pumping through speak-ers and an upbeat crowd. A local physiotherapist led stretching and a warm-up routine. I was told that the purpose of this warm up was just to “GET THE BLOOD MOVING.” My legs already felt a little sore. I realized training would have been a good idea.
After remarks from TSN Anchor and MC Rod Black, and a stirring rendition of the national anthem by a local child prodigy, the race was off. The race course was packed with people - many of whom were out to support the School 10K relay held concurrently to the 10K race. It was a beautiful night for a run - with the route meandering through downtown Port Credit and the Mississauga waterfront.
I soon lost my father over the horizon. The old guy can really run. I contented myself with passing 8th grad-ers on the hillier parts of the course. That became progressively harder further into the race - with new school runners changing in every 2.5K. There is nothing more frustrating than an 11 year old blowing past you at kilometer 8.5. I’ll get you next year Jimmy.
I crossed the finish line several minutes after my dad - but with my dignity still intact. The finishing area was full of runners of all ages, experience and conditioning. Local bands entertained runners and spectators - and all cheered on the finishing runners.
The next morning - with a coffee in hand and my feet up - I watched streams of runners in the Marathon and Half-Marathon. I saw many familiar faces on the run - some neighbours, some friends, and some nameless acquaintances I had passed in the grocery store. All, however, were painted with smiles; enjoying the day and running in front of a crowd of supportive community members.
The Mississauga Marathon has something for every-one: seasoned runners to beginners, spectators, and local businesses alike. I’ll be out next year.
