Loss hits home
Mark Andrew
WILSON is the first Londoner killed in action in
Canada's mission in Afghanistan.
By Jennifer
O'BRIEN, Free Press Reporter, Mon., October 9, 2006
London native Mark Andrew
WILSON of the Royal Canadian Dragoons,
based in Petawawa, was the 40th Canadian to die in Afghanistan
since 2002, matching the number of British soldiers killed in
the country since the Taliban were overthrown. The vaunted Nyala
RG-31 armoured vehicle
WILSON was travelling in was hit while
on a pre-dawn run to pick up other troops in the Panjwaii district
of southern Afghanistan, military officials said. (Canadian Press)
As Canadian families joined to count their blessings this Thanksgiving,
one London family gathered in grief.
Relatives and Friends poured yesterday into a home still marked
by yellow ribbons awaiting the return of London native Mark Andrew
WILSON.
WILSON, 39, a father of two boys who live in Sudbury with his
wife, became the 40th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan
since 2002 when his armoured vehicle was struck by a roadside
bomb Saturday.
The first Londoner killed in action, he was also Southwestern
Ontario's third fatality in Afghanistan.
"We put the ribbons up when he left for Afghanistan in August.
We weren't going to take them down until he returned," his mother,
Carolyn WILSON -- visibly shaken, but trying to be strong --
said last night at the family's home.
Similar ribbons decorate trees and lamp posts throughout
WILSON's
boyhood home on Toulon Crescent.
WILSON, a soldier with the Petawawa-based Royal Canadian Dragoons,
died Saturday when a roadside bomb exploded as he rode inside
a Nyala armoured truck in the Panjwaii district of southern Afghanistan.
He leaves behind wife Dawn and sons Josh, 17, and Ben, 11, along
with a tight-knit family based in London: his parents, 35-year
old twin brothers and a 28-year-old sister, all devastated by
his death.
Between anguished breakdowns and tearful hugs, family members
hailed the eldest son as their "rock," the "caretaker," "the
one who was always smiling."
"He was my caretaker, my biggest big brother," said Andrea, 28,
who was with her parents at a Peterborough-area cottage for Thanksgiving
when they received the news they had feared most.
"He was the kind of guy everybody loved," said Sean, 35. "He
was the one who was always smiling," he added, overcome by emotion.
"I'm sorry, I'm so mad."
Sean's twin Scott was rushing home from Sudbury to be with the
family last night.
WILSON joined the army at 35, far later than most troops.
An outdoor enthusiast who loved camping, kayaking and hiking,
he had already tried his hand at many things, including a bed
and breakfast with his wife in Killarney and several jobs in
London, when he "woke up one day and decided to join the military,"
his younger brother said.
"Then he told us he wished he had done so straight out of high
school. He just loved it," added his mom.
"I wasn't real comfy with it, but I would support my son in any
decision he made."
And it would have been hard not to, once the family saw how happy
WILSON was being a soldier.
"He said, 'I can't believe they would pay me to do this,' " said
Sean. "He absolutely loved it. He said he would have volunteered
to do it."
In an online entry posted late in August,
WILSON seemed optimistic
about Canada's mission to Afghanistan.
"We can definitely make a difference in the lives of many, many
people who are in such need of the assistance," he wrote.
At the beginning, he was upbeat, his mom said, but last week
things changed after Cpl. Robert
MITCHELL, another Canadian soldier,
was killed.
"He sounded really upset because his friend had been killed,"
she recalled of her last phone conversation with her son, last
Wednesday.
"I think he sounded really, really frightened," she said.
"He said, 'I know we're doing a good job, but it's so horrible,
we don't know who our enemy is.'
"He said nothing could have prepared them (the military) for
what they were facing," she said.
But even as they mourn their loss, the family has nothing but
support for the soldiers in that mission, said
WILSON's father,
Carl, who spent years as a principal in the local Catholic school
board before retiring eight years ago.
"We support the military and I am so proud of (Mark)," he said.
"He loved what he was doing, he knew it was dangerous, but he
was proud. And I am proud because he was."
The phone at the family home was ringing off the hook last night
as members of the military and relatives from around the world
called in.
WILSON's wife and sons plan to meet
WILSON's parents in Toronto
on Wednesday and travel together to Canadian Forces Base Trenton
when his body arrives home.
A military funeral in London is scheduled next Monday in London.
WILSON was the third soldier from Southwestern Ontario to be
killed in Afghanistan.
Pte. William
CUSHLEY of Port Lambton, near Sarnia, died last
month and Cpl. Matthew
DINNING of Wingham, in Huron County, in
April.

Mom charged in kids' deaths
First-degree murder count laid after girls found in bathtub
Tamil community leader calls for more counselling programs
By Curtis RUSH and Nicholas
KEUNG,
Staff
Reporters with files
from Bob MITCHELL and the Star Library, Page A2
A 30-year-old Markham woman whose two young daughters were found
dead in the family bathtub Thursday night has been charged with
two counts of first-degree murder.
Sivananthi
ELANGO remains in serious condition in Markham-Stouffville
Hospital with self-inflicted slash wounds to her wrists and throat,
York Regional police said yesterday.
Without giving specifics, Insp. Tony
CUSIMANO said police have
found evidence to support the first-degree charge, which implies
an act committed with planning and deliberation.
Renu ELANGO, 2, and Movlika
ELANGO, 3 months, died Thursday while
their father was out on an errand. Their grandparents, who lived
with the family, had come home, looked for the girls and heard
only silence from the locked en suite bathroom, police sources
said.
They summoned a basement tenant for help breaking in and discovered
a horrific scene -- the mother bloodied, the children thought
to be drowned. The tenant called 911.
CUSIMANO confirmed that paint thinner had been found in the room,
but wouldn't comment on its significance.
He said it was too early to speculate on why the tragedy occurred,
or whether the woman suffered from depression or post-partum
psychosis. The latter, a serious mental health disorder that
can appear after childbirth, has been linked to similar murder-suicide
attempts.
Police say the family arrived from Sri Lanka around 1990. Neighbours
said they had moved into the two-storey Sophia Rd. home, in the
McCowan Rd. and 14th Ave. area, around Christmas.
The incident came less than a month after a Toronto man, Huc
Minh CHAU, 40, was charged in the slaying of his wife, Shao-Feng
LIANG, 38, and their two children. His sister has said she had
tried to get
CHAU committed to a psychiatric facility.
Since 1990, at least 22 children in Toronto alone have been killed
by their mothers, with clinical depression implicated in many
cases. Mental health professionals and community workers say
the social isolation and lack of support felt by immigrant women
may aggravate depression and economic stress that can lead mothers
of any background to take such a terrible step.
"In any culture, there's always the social stigmatization associated
with mental illness. But in some communities, people don't even
have the language and translation (to speak about) mental illnesses,"
said Martha
OCAMPO, of Across Boundaries, a Toronto ethno-racial
mental health centre. "It is particularly difficult for the mothers,
who are afraid that their kids would be taken away from them.
The social expectation that a woman is the caretaker of the household
just doesn't help."
David POOPALAPILLAI of the Canadian Tamil Congress said the community
has been shocked by the tragedy, which follows an incident in
July 2001 in which Jasotha
MAHENDRIRAN was charged in the murders
of her daughter Shyami, 5, and son Sajeev, 3.
"Even though our community is now more established than when
we first came here 20-odd years ago, mental illness and things
like post-partum depression are still very new to the community,"
POOPALAPILLAI said.
"We do need more counselling services. Some people still face
the language barrier and have trouble accessing the mainstream
services. Right now, we still don't have an expert in this health
area in the (Tamil) community."
