Thompson ran the 100, 200 and 400 and competed in the high jump for Abraham Lincoln High School in Philadelphia. Later, representing Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah, at the 1989 Utah Summer Games, Thompson won the 100 and 200. At the time, she was eight months removed from giving birth to Sommerville. Sommerville's father, Orrett Sommerville, is from Jamaica, and he ran the 400, 800, and 1,600 and competed in the long jump. Thompson said Orrett Sommerville was the base champion in the long jump. As she got older, Sommerville would engage in daily competitions with the neighborhood children to see who was faster. She got a particular kick out of beating the boys. "I'd give them a head-start and I'd still catch them," Sommerville said. "It was before school while we were waiting at the bus stop, it was after school, during school.

They don't have to worry about being evicted. The adults don't scream or hit or touch them in creepy ways.But before long, despondency sets in.There are always doors banging, babies crying and people moving in and out. It's hard to find a quiet place to do their homework. Their pencils and crayons keep disappearing.When other kids find out where they live, they don't want to be their friends.As time passes, they start to worry about where they'll go next, how their Mom will find work and what their new school will be like."I think it would be good to know ahead of time that you're going to move so you're ready for it instead of just being told unexpectedly," one 10-year-old girl said longingly.This glimpse of homelessness, through the eyes of children, is part of a remarkable report released this week by the Community Social Planning Council of Toronto. Researcher Samantha Sherkin spoke with 31 youngsters — preschoolers to teenagers — in five Scarborough emergency shelters. She also interviewed their parents, teachers and the staff at the shelters.She is careful not to make generalizations — some kids thrive in any surroundings — but by and large the children were ashamed of where they lived, behind at school and fearful of what the future held. Their parents knew they needed stability, but had trouble maintaining discipl... 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47 | 48 | 49 | 50 | 51 | 52 | 53 | 54 | 55 | 56 | 57 | 58 | 59 | 60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | 64 | 65 | 66 | 67 | 68 | 69 | 70 | 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 | 88 | 89 | 90 | 91 | 92 | 93 | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | All news |
