S u n d a y July 3 0 , 2 0 0 0 O akville B eaver Weekend Broken leg stops Lake Rousseau sw im m er Joy G reene - the O akville athlete who has raised thousands for charity during her annual sw im o f Lake R ousseau - has been forced by a broken leg into a support capacity this year. Instead, her pacing partner D ebbie Bang m ade the 22-kilom eter sw im yesterday from Rousseau to Port C arling - the opposite way G reene has gone in the past. Over the past five years, Greene has raised m ore than $15,000 for Camp Trillium , two support centres for children and teens affected by cancer. Last year, Greene made the swim with a broken hand after nine hours and 14 minutes in the water. Greene broke her leg M arch 5th during a ski race at Glen Eden, suffering spiral frac tures to both her right tibia and fibula. She now has two plates and 14 screws as sou venirs o f the accident. N eedless to say, Greene lost months of training tim e and only started sw im m ing again in June. "I'm disappointed, but there's always next year," she said.

S tories in m edia m a kin g w om en feel vuln erable (C ontinued from p a g e 1) unfortunately there is no easy answer as the situ ations are so complex. Bev LaFrancois, executive director of the Halton Rape Crisis Centre, said there has been a marked increase in crisis line calls. She said in the last month the crisis centre received 50 more calls than the usual 200 or so, or about a 20 per cent increase. "It' s making them (women) feel their vulnera bility," said LaFrancois. "Women are talking about the number of women being killed by their partners," she said. LaFrancois said in the last while the centre has been busier than usual providing counseling for women. Greer said traditionally women's shelters are full in the summer but this year it seems there have been more requests for service. She said over the past year shelter staff has noticed a huge increase in the number of women being stalked by former boyfriends, husbands and partners. "It's a huge intimidation." She said she knows of three women currently staying at the shelter who are being stalked. Halton Police report only a small increase in domestic assault charges in the region this year compared to last. Last year to the end of June there had been 131 domestic assaults compared to 136 this year for the same period.
