Mickey’s Goal

　　　 Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

　　　 With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of“Kick it!” echoing(回响)across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted(沸腾).O’ Donnel had scored!

　　　 Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome(综合症)and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

　　　 The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted,“I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried . I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting,“Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

　　　 Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied,“It was a tie. Everybody won.”

　　　 December 06 -Canada: For those of you who have been

Following this story, the third suspect(嫌疑犯)in the Canadian

Cat Mutilation(残害)case has been caught. On March 8, after

just under a year of searching, the Find Matt Campaign received

information that would comfort many. Now known as Mattew

Kaczorowski, 21 years old, this cat mutilator was picked up by the

Police from the streets of Vancouver.

In May 2001, three young men took a young cat, named “Kensington” after the area of town from　 where she was taken,. from　 the street to a house. They began to cruelly treat and mutilate her to death, videotaping the attack. Two of the suspects, recognized as 21-year-old Jesse Champlain Power and 24-year –old Anthony Ryan Wennekers, were arrested shortly after the incident. Neither helped the police in an effort to find the third suspect, at the time known only as“Matt.”

In May 2002, Katie set up the “Find Matt Campaign”, with the goals of raising public awareness(意识)about animal cruelty and having as many eyes as possible look for Matt.

“I don’t think Matt would have been caught had it not been for Katie Woodward’s information, ”said Detective Gordon Scott, one of the arresting officers.

Kaczorowski faces the charges of animal cruelty, theft under $ 5,000 and possession of property taken by crime, but one charge remains absent：that of animal cruelty. According to Canadian law, this kind of crime must be charged within six months.

The case is now before the Courts.

While finding Matt is a big step in the right direction of this case, it is not over. It remains that Kensington’s guardian(监护人)has not yet come forward. It is important that her guardian speak out to lessen the possibility of the charges being dropped.
