Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Joy of victory Jocelyn Muir, 15, yesterday became the youngest person ever to swim Lake Ontario. Never slackening her pace, she reached Ontario Place in just under 16 hours in poor weather - just 40 minutes short of the lake's record. I feel pretty good and that's just about it, she said.
