'Destined for the military'
Fallen soldier remembered as someone who loved army life
By Scott DUNN with files from The Canadian Press, Thursday, October 05,
Cpl. Jimmy
MITCHELL always wanted to be the protector. The 32-year-old
Owen Sound-born soldier died as one Tuesday in Afghanistan, during
an insurgent attack with rocket propelled grenades and assault
rifles. Fellow Royal Canadian Dragoon, Sgt. Craig Paul
GILLAM,
of South Branch, Newfoundland, died with him while protecting
a road construction crew.
Robert
Thomas
James
MITCHELL grew up in Owen Sound, attended
West Hill Secondary School to the end of Grade 10, then switched
to Saint Mary's High School in 1992.
Retired
West
Hill special education teacher Jim
McGREGOR recalled
the gangly young man with red hair as a gentle, happy loner.
MITCHELL got into scrapes at the school and was very protective
of his younger brother.
MITCHELL also struggled to fit in and
many at the school didn't expect him to graduate. But
McGREGOR
knew differently "and he certainly did mature."
It was McGREGOR who recommended
MITCHELL switch high schools
to get a fresh start and
MITCHELL did improve there. He enlisted
in the Forces straight out of high school.
"He ended up being in the Armed Forces, which is what he always
wanted to do,"
McGREGOR said.
"He'd put on a fairly tough exterior but inside he was a caring
kid. I sometimes think we stereotype a lot of these guys, you
know, the big Rambo types, but Jim wasn't one of those."
Everyone who knew
MITCHELL said he was destined for the military.
Family friend Norm
BIGGAR said
MITCHELL was always interested
in "enforcement," noting he joined Owen Sound police auxiliary
for a while.
"He seemed to want to do that kind of thing. He wanted to be
out and helping people," said
BIGGAR, who works at Rogers Cable
with MITCHELL's father, Bob
MITCHELL.
Peter SCOTT is Bob
MITCHELL's nephew. He watched Jimmy
MITCHELL
grow up, went to his minor hockey games and later his wedding
at Saint Mary's Church in Owen Sound in 2000.
MITCHELL enlisted in the regular Forces straight out of high
school but was injured during basic training and had to drop
out. He re-enlisted more than six years ago.
"That says a lot for him too,"
SCOTT said. "I believe that was
his purpose and destiny to be in the military. I don't believe
it was his purpose and destiny to get killed."
He cared for his fellow soldiers and loved the adventure of army
life and "he put his country ahead of his family,"
SCOTT said.
MITCHELL's father-in-law, Gary
HASS, told the St. Catharines
Standard that
MITCHELL was proud of the work he was doing and
felt strongly he was working toward the greater good.
"He was dedicated to his family and dedicated to his military
career," said
HASS, of Fort Erie.
MITCHELL graduated from Niagara College and his first military
posting was with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry
in Edmonton. He served with the Royal Canadian Regiment and,
most recently, with the Royal Canadian Dragoons as part of North
Atlantic Treaty Organization's International Security Assistance
Force in Afghanistan.
MITCHELL had moved into a new home near Canadian Forces Base
Petawawa just days before he was sent overseas.
Maj.
James
Follwell of the Dragoons said
MITCHELL was an avid
runner who competed in iron man races and had applied for JTF2,
the country's elite commandos.
Parents
Bob,
Carol, and their son Mark
MITCHELL took a chartered
flight to Petawawa on Tuesday.
SCOTT said
MITCHELL's body will be returned to Canada Friday.
Funeral arrangements include a service in Petawawa, he believed,
but details were not known.
MITCHELL, who was scheduled to return home next month, leaves
his wife, Leanne, and three children, ages five, three and two.
Owen
Sound
Legion president Bob
GRIFFITH is a good friend of
Bob MITCHELL.
When his friend said Jimmy wanted a career in the
military, GRIFFITH advised him how to go about it.
After he was discharged for medical reasons,
GRIFFITH had several
talks in his home with Bob
MITCHELL about whether his son should
return to the military.
GRIFFITH feels for Bob and Carol
MITCHELL for all they're going
through "But then you've got to look at it (as) this young lad
really wanted to go into the military, so he was doing what he
wanted to do. There's nothing else in life he wanted to do but
be in the military," said
GRIFFITH, who spent 45 years in the
armed forces.
"We all go in knowing this is a possibility. It's just that I
was really fortunate in that I never had something like this
happen in my tour."

BIGGERSTAFF o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.toronto_star 2006-03-06 published
A young man's murder still matters in T.O.
By Rosie DIMANNO
Sixteen police constables, maintaining a careful four-foot distance
from each other, set off on a bright and crisp day to conduct
a grid search of a Scarborough field that lies between two elementary
schools.
Just another Sunday morning in the city, but increasingly the
occasion for the launching of murder investigations, trying to
make sense out of another bloody mess arising from the evening
before.
These officers are looking for… anything, although the instructions
delivered emphasize the possibility of a small cellphone out
there somewhere.
No such phone -- possibly belonging to the 17-year-old male victim
whose remains have already been removed to the morgue -- was
discovered.
This was not a shooting, but it is most definitely a homicide,
Toronto's 10th murder in 2006.
Such has become the grim frequency of death by the gun in Toronto
that it comes as something of a homicide throwback when murder
by other means occurs when the deceased is a young male.
An autopsy this morning will likely determine cause of death.
A cursory examination of the body yesterday was sufficient to
reveal what was so palpably evident -- this teenager had suffered
blunt trauma injuries, primarily about the head, with evidence
indicating the unfortunate young man may have been beaten first
and run over by a vehicle afterwards.
A white van was seen driving across the field late Saturday night
and fresh tread marks on the ground reinforce that scenario.
Police are looking for that van -- make and model unknown --
but confident they will find it.
"I believe this one is going to come together shortly," Det.
John BIGGERSTAFF told The Star last night. "The van's going to
show up, the pieces will all fall into place. It's not like a
shooting, which are usually harder to piece together."
The victim is Kevin
PERSAUD, a teenager who had been working
a full-time job, living at home with his parents, who were in
devastated shock yesterday. There is no evidence Persaud was
ever "ganged-up," which is what comes immediately to mind when
young men are murdered in Toronto these days. Nor is there any
suggestion that this crime might have been provoked by ethnic
grudges in a neighbourhood where youths of Southeast Asian descent
are known to congregate, groups that have clashed violently before.
"I'm pretty sure that gang activity of any kind was not an issue
here," said
BIGGERSTAFF.
So what was the "issue"? Because a young man, little more than
a boy really, is dead. And, as
BIGGERSTAFF noted, "this was not
a random encounter, it was a planned and intentional act."
And, because every homicide matters. This is still a city where
murders matter and victims have names.
There are witnesses: who saw somebody running here on Saturday
night, just behind Cardinal Leger Catholic School, deep inside
this sleepy residential neighbourhood of house-proud properties
and tidily maintained lawns, where kids play basketball in the
driveway and couples walk their dogs.
It was a woman strolling with her dog across Canmore Park around
11 p.m. who came upon the body. Police from 43 Division received
the call at 11: 51 p.m. and cruisers were screeching to the scene
within minutes.
PERSAUD was lying in a pool of blood with obvious injuries to
the head. It remains for pathologists to try and determine whether
those blunt force injuries are responsible for
PERSAUD's death,
whether they were caused after being struck by the suspicious
van, or if he was already lifeless before the added trauma of
a hit-and-run.
The aforementioned cellphone, if it exists at all, was likely
the property of
PERSAUD, since he was known to own one and it
wasn't found with the body.
Much of the investigation will now hinge on the quite remarkable
talents of a reconstruction crew from the traffic unit. These
crime scene specialists are able to map out -- following the
trail of the tread marks and other clues embedded in the ground,
analyzing "static measurements" and tire patterns -- where the
vehicle came from and how it manoeuvred across the terrain.
A treadmark is nearly as conclusive as a fingerprint. But first,
police will need a van to compare those markings with.
Toronto has become, in its ripening, a city no longer shaken
to its roots by urban, or suburban, crime. Yet striking this
close to home -- as
PERSAUD's murder did in this particular neighbourhood
there is still an element of discomfiture, if not quite disbelief.
"Scary, but what can you do?" shrugged Wayne
POWELL, who lives
directly across the street from the school, in a house where
three children reside, one of them a Grade 8 student at Cardinal
Leger.
"There are always little groups of teenagers who hang around
behind the school at night. Not necessarily toughs or gangs,
maybe just kids looking to get into mischief."
But last summer, there was another beating death down at the
end of the road, and around the same time two people shot in
a car not far distant.
"Sometimes, it just feels like it's all closing in on you."
Chelsea McCORMICK, 13, sidles into the doorway and casts her
eyes towards her school. "I'll have to go there tomorrow. I'll
be afraid to walk where it happened."
Next door, Anoj
THAVARAJAH -- a Grade 7 student at Morrish Public
School, which is situated on the far edge of the field, just
beyond the baseball diamond -- says he was in his room playing
video games when all the ruckus began Saturday night.
"I'm not scared, exactly, but I think, that could have been my
brother. I mean, when you don't know why it happened."
His family only moved into this house last autumn. Anoj, 13,
recalls how his father once chased down a vandal who'd tossed
a brick through one of the windows when the house was still being
constructed.
"We hadn't even moved in yet and already somebody was throwing
bricks through the window. And then later, somebody took gasoline
and started a fire in some other houses just behind here that
were being built."
Petty vandalism, mischief-makers, bored kids. And then, on a
quiet Saturday night, a teenage boy gets murdered.
It matters.

BIGHAM who left us on November 2nd, 2005.
"The blow was great, the shock severe,
We little thought the end was near.
And only those who have lost can tell,
The pain of parting without farewell.
More each day we miss you.
Friends may think the wound is healed,
But they little know the sorrow that lies within our hearts concealed.
It's hard but we are getting by with the love and support of
our family and Friends."
