Jenny Chen is afraid of the fur-nace in her parents house.
Its not a safety issue shesconcerned about. Its how muchmoney it
will burn throughwhen she fires it up duringthe coming cold fall
andwinter weather which hasher worried.
Chen said she feltduped into paying a muchhigher than market
rate fornatural gas after signing acontract with an independent
gasmarketing company she claims hadpromised her cost would be
lowerthan with FortisBC.
Chen said she was keen to savemoney because she, her husbandand
four-year-old son rent spacein her parents home because theycannot
afford to by their own placeyet. So, when a sales representa-tive
from Summit Energy BC LPcame to the front door at the endof June,
she listened to the pitchand thought it would be a gooddeal to sign
up for a five-year,fixed-rate term.
Chen based her decision on herparents then current FortisBC
gasbill she said the sales agent fromSummit Energy asked to look
at.He then used it to calculate thenatural gas charge which he
alleg-edly said amounted to $7.86 a
gigajoule.The rep from Summit Energy
assured them his firms deal wouldbe slightly less at $7.49 a
giga-joule. And with an uncertain futurefor gas prices, locking in
would bewise.
Chen mulled itover, and given herfamilys financialsituation
signed up.
But afterwards,it turned out thatChens family wasactually paying
just$2.97 a gigajoule
through FortisBC.What he (the sales rep) had
done was he added up the indi-vidual rates on the natural gas
bill the delivery charge, midstreamcharge and cost of gas to giveus
what we thought was the totalcost (per gigajoule), Chen said.
That method of calculation isincorrect, said FortisBC spokes-man
Michael Allison, adding therates for delivery, midstream andgas
commodity are independent ofeach other and a per gigajoule rateis
not reflected by adding them up.
The only charge gas marketingcompanies, like Summit Energy,can
sell is the commodity rate forthe gas itself, Allison said.
Thedelivery and midstream rates areconstants FortisBC charges all
ofits customers.

The work of marine dock workershas always been a hands-on
busi-ness.
In the early days that meant haul-ing goods on and off ships
withheavy loads borne on the backs ofburly stevedores.
But with advances in technologythe hands-on aspect today
often
refers to grip-ping a steeringwheel, joystick or leverto operate
alarge piece ofmachinery tomove goods
back and forth down on the docks.And to educate todays
workers
on how to run the equipment a newmarine safety and training
centre wasopened last Friday on the westernend of Mitchell
Island.
The 4.7 acre Waterfront TrainingCentre is run by the British
ColumbiaMaritime Employers Association(BCMEA) and features a
variety oftraining opportunities, ranging fromcranes that operate
along the water-front, to heavy lift trucks essen-
tially, massive fork lifts whichmove cargo containers.
Our industry has shifted to thepoint where about 60 per cent of
theworkers now work in mechanizedjobs at the ports, said John
Beckett,BCMEAs vice president, training,safety and recruitment.
The facility will train BritishColumbia port operations
employeesin a controlled environment, enablingthe safe delivery of
a diverse set oftraining programs at a single site.
At the training facility, the
BCMEA will provide simultaneoustraining of several programs
throughexercises which resemble live opera-tions.
The initial development will allowfor the delivery of training
programsfrom various sectors includingcontainers, breakbulk
whichincludes logs, lumber, pulp and steel and bulk.
Prior to the new Richmond facili-tys opening, training sites
were dot-ted around the province and LowerMainland.
During the opening event, tours ofthe three state-of-the-art
classroomswere given and live demonstrationswere performed for the
visitors.
By encouraging the creation oftraining projects such as this
one, Iam confident that our governmentis helping all Canadians to
benefitfrom the critical work of the menand women who staff our
marinefacilities and keep our ports and themarine transportation
system safeand efficient, said federal TransportMinister Lisa
Raitt.

First thing tomorrow (Thursday)morning, Blundell
elementarysgymnasium turns into a Great Hall,serving a morning meal
to about 50students for the launch of its break-fast program at 8
a.m.
The club, like many in otherRichmond schools, responds to
thegrowing number of kids going hun-gry in the city.
Twenty-five per cent of stu-dents at Blundell are not
gettingproper access to food, said DayleneMarshall, manager of
special projectsat RichmondYouth Services Agency(RYSA), which has
partnered withBlundell.
The principal said about one infour families struggle
financiallyand kids go hungry, which is about
average in Richmond. But we foundtheres a higher concentration
in thatneighbourhood.
Besides providing a healthy break-fast, the Blundell club, which
willbe held twice a week, educates thestudents about nutrition and
includesgames, as well.
Family members are invited oncea month to meet each other and
learnrecipe tips.
The point is to create a senseof community, Marshall said.
Theschool is very diverse, both financial-ly and culturally. This
will encouragekids to say hello in the hallways andmake parents
comfortable cominginto the school.
RYSA will also help connect dif-ferent community organizations
with
the school.Breakfast clubs arent a new con-
cept for schools in Richmond, buttheir funding and therefore
consis-tency is always precarious.
Last October, the Board ofEducation presented its child pov-erty
survey to city council, whichcomprised anecdotal responses
fromteachers and administrators.
The results showed 20 per centperceived an increase in
povertylevels at their schools, comparedto eight per cent who
perceived adecrease. Thirty per cent or less hada hot lunch,
breakfast club or home-work club in place.
At the time, one of the problemsfaced was maintaining a
breakfastclub. One started by a PAC member
might not continue the followingyear if that member left, for
example.Funding also depends on the finan-cial capability of the
school.
Its something Glenn Kishi, aretired school district
administrator,wants to change with his Feed-U-Cate 38 program a
funding initia-tive hoping to provide money to keepthese clubs
running.
Last spring, I noticed someof these schools were looking
inVancouver to get grants, and I startedthinking, why do they have
to go toVancouver? said Kishi. Richmondcan help. I know the
business com-munity and the general communitywill donate if theyre
made aware thatkids are going hungry.

Flow through means that FortisBC pur-chases natural gas on
behalf of its custom-ers and passes the costs through to custom-ers
without markup. Customers pay whatFortisBC pays for the gas
itself.
Rates are reviewed each quarter andare based on a forecast of
what the cost topurchase gas will be over the following 12months,
based on forward prices set by themarket.
Allison added FortisBC does not solicitgas sales on a
door-to-door basis and if asales rep does show up, he advised to
taketime to reflect on the offer by looking atyour current natural
gas bill, and not rushinto a decision.
FortisBC also has a list of tips to followon its website
(fortisbc.com/choices) if asalesperson does show up.
Now, Chens family is stuck with theprospect of paying much more
until 2018every time the mercury dips to an uncom-fortable level
after inking the deal withSummit Energy.
On average, the monthly cost of heatingher parents home using
the 35-year-old fur-nace is $250.
Its old and very inefficient, Chen said.We were told that
getting a new, high effi-ciency one would cost us about $3,200.
Add that to the homes drafty, old win-dows, and the prospect is
for a chilly nextseveral months.
Chen said she would never have agreedto the deal through Summitt
Energy hadshe known the correct gas charge withFortisBC.
But she has filed a dispute and is hopingthere can be a
resolution, and even a possi-ble return to the rates charged by
FortisBC.
This is not the first time a Richmondresident has complained
about SummitEnergy.
Summit Energys Tamara Sinson, thefirms manager of compliance and
regula-tory affairs, told the Richmond News shecould not vouch for
how the rate was calcu-lated in Chens case, but confirmed
simplyadding the various rates on the bill is notwhat their
salespeople are trained to do andis against the companys
policy.
Sinson added Summit Energy takes cus-tomer concerns such as this
very seriously,and had never previously received a com-plaint of
this nature.
Obviously, we dont want to have dis-satisfied customers. So, we
can conduct athorough investigation, Sinson said. Andif we do
determine there was some misrep-resentation there, then absolutely,
we willrelease the customer from the contract andtake whatever
remedial action necessary toresolve the issue.
According to the Better Business Bureau(BBB) in Mid-Western and
Central Ontario,Summit Energy has been given a D- rating.
The Ontario arm of the BBB tracksthe company since Summit
Energys headoffice is located in Mississauga, Ontario.
The BBBs files indicate there is a pat-tern of complaints for
the business.
Specifically, consumers have advisedthe BBB that the Summit
Energys door-to-door sales representatives use high pres-sure and
deceptive sales practices. It is alsoalleged they misrepresent
themselves (asbeing from a different carrier) and providefalse
information in order to get consumersto sign a contract.
There have also been actions by theprovincial government in
Ontario againstSummit Energy.
Summit Energy, and other similar firms,participate in the
Customer Choice pro-gram, which was developed in response tothe
provincial governments 2002 energypolicy.

(The second and finalpart to Pathways to sup-port)
When the average kidturns 19, theyrefar from being thefull,
functioning adult of a,say, 30-year-old.
Yet, when young adultssuffer from a mental illness,theyre
provided with thesame services given to adults often meaning a
sig-nificant drop in the supportsthey had when underage, andlittle
transition between theirold and now new situations.
The system is prettyfragmented, said JonnyMorris, the director
of publicpolicy and campus men-tal health at the CanadianMental
Health Association(CMHA) B.C. branch.
Its quite a complex mixand young people usually getcaught up in
this mix.
This past April, Mary
Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the B.C.Representative of ChildrenandYouth
(RCY) releaseda report addressing the lackof transitional services
foryoung adults aged 16-24.
It calls for a 10-year men-tal health plan to fix the gapsin
service and increase com-munication between them.
Young adults also havedifferent needsthan older adults,said
NerissaYee, PathwaysClubhouse execu-tive assistant andyoung adult
pro-gram coordinator.
Yes, theyre looking forjobs and housing as well, butone of the
main things is thesocial support.
Yee recently developeda young adult program atRichmonds
Pathways.
I found they wanteda place where they couldcome together and
share theresources and make friends.
The program membersmeet regularly and organizesocial events such
as paintball. Youth-specific projectsat Pathways generally
evolvearound social media and art.
Education is also moreof a priority for the youngermembers, as a
bout of mentalillness could lead to interrup-tions in their
studies.
Both Morris andYeeagree the youth they see war-rant a separate
category, as
they straddle between child-hood and adulthood.
The difficulty is theydont reach out until theyreally need it,
said Yee.With any young adult,they dont always know thedirection
theyre going untiltheyre there.
As a result, many commu-nity and hospital resources
focus on in-crisiscare, rather thanpreventative. Thosewho arent
in emer-gency are placedon a waitlist, wherehealth can dete-riorate
quickly,said Morris.
One solution is to investin the training of generalphysicians to
become theyouths first point of contact.
It can encourage youth toseek help early because theywont have
to find a mentalhealth care professional.
Most youth are afraid toseek help because itll causethem to put
a label on them-selves, said Daniel Suen, anAsian youth outreach
workerat RichmondYouth ServicesAgency. They dont wanttheir friends
to find out, theydont want their family to seethem as a
patient.
To counter some of thestigma, Morris has engageduniversity
campuses to raiseawareness and create pro-gramming that catches
strug-gling youth early.
One of the main causesmany in this age group sufferfrom mood
disorders such asdepression is because of the
transitions in their lives.It can be caused by kids
moving away from their

NewsYouth suicide:More information needed, remains highly
complex
familial and old peer sup-ports, higher levels of stress,or
feeling isolated, saidMorris. Maybe they hadgood care in their home
com-
munity and once they move,maintaining that relationshipcan be
hard.
The initiative looks atboth the individuals and thelearning
environment.
But public education sur-rounding youth and mentalillness can
and should startearlier. A report con-ducted by a group of
child-serving agencies was sent
to the B.C. Coroners Servicelast week requesting
bettercollection of information onyouth-suicide victims agrowing
number on univer-sity campuses.
The report concludedchild and youth suicideremains highly
complex andthere is no way of accuratelyidentifying which young
peo-ple are at the highest risk.
Like the RCY report, italso recommended betteraccess and
communicationbetween services for youth,as well as, intervention
strat-egies at school districts.

Almost all of the 60 cats and dogs left at the doorsteps
ofanimal shelters in Richmond, Kelowna and NewWestminsterlate last
month have found new homes.
Thirty-eight small dogs including chihuahuas, Yorkiesand
terriers were abandoned in plastic kennels and metalcages outside
the Richmond Animal Protection Society(RAPS) Aug. 30.
On the same day, 12 dogs were found outside NewWestminsters
animal shelter and 10 flea-infested cats wereleft in a cardboard
box at Kelowna SPCAs doorstep.
Only nine now still remain in Richmonds animal shelterafter 29
of the abandoned dogs were adopted by new families.
City of Richmond spokesman Ted Townsend said phonecalls flooded
in from prospective owners and more than 150applications were
received.
Its been the best of a bad situation because of the strongpublic
response, Townsend said.
He added that some residents have even made donations tothe
animal shelter in order to help.
It was a really stressful situation for us having them allcome
at once, but weve had good response from adoptivefamilies, said
NewWestminster animal services officerJames Short.
Only two dogs remain from the dozen that were left atNew
Westminster.
Kelowna SPCA also received a positive response fromhopeful
owners. Four of the adult domestic shorthair catshave been sent to
new families, while the eight kittens aretemporarily living in
foster homes, said assistant managerCam Buksa.
The rest of the once-abandoned cats and dogs are beingtrained in
their respective shelters to prepare them for theirnew homes.
When the dogs were found last August, some animal ser-vices
officials speculated that they might have come frompuppy mills.
Richmond RCMP and NewWestminsters ani-mal services are
investigating the dogs origins.

Recently retired, Kishi hasnt had the chance to really hitthe
pavement yet, but has so far raised about $3,000 fromschool
fundraisers in the spring and a Sutton Realty golf tour-nament.
He hopes to start funding programs soon and plans on get-ting
the figure to about $15,000-$20,000 each year whichis on average
the amount schools are currently spending.
Im going to put it out there and ask the schools torespond with
their need, he said. I know some have madearrangements with food
providers, and I dont want to step onany toes, but hopefully we can
coordinate something district-wide. Buying things in bulk would be
less expensive.
A program like Feed-U-Cate (a play on the word educate)would
help Blundell, which received a $10,000 grant fromthe Richmond
Community Foundation and $2,000 from theSunrise Rotary Club.
However, funding lasts for the year,leaving the program to look for
corporate and individualdonors.
A district-wide program would be helpful, said Marshall.We just
stepped in now because there was a need at theschool. But Id like
to see this at all schools and five days aweek.
The school is looking for volunteers, non-perishablebreakfast
item donations, grocery gift cards, cash donationsand sponsors.
Those wishing to donate, can email Marshall
[email protected].
To donate to Feed-U-Cate 38, email Kishi at

Since premiering The Highest Step in the Worldin 2010, this
gravity-defying solo show has reallytaken off. After launching at
the 2010 EnbridgeplayRites Festival (Alberta Theatre Projects) and
touringacross Canada, this much-anticipated production nallylands
in the Lower Mainlandlaunching GatewayTheatres 20132014 Season.
Performed by David van Belle and directed by Eric
Rose(co-Artistic Directors of Ghost River Theatre), The HighestStep
in the World explores the nature of risk throughthree famous
stories of ight and falling: Joseph Kittingersworld record skydive,
Vesna Vulovic surviving a 30,000 foot free-fall, and Icarus desire
to y close to thesun. Self-proclaimed NASA nerds, David and Erics
preoccupation with exploration is also at the coreof their creative
process: always devising new modes of storytelling. More than a
simple retelling of tales,David reenacts experiences from
Kittinger, Vulovic, and Icarus all while being strapped into a
yingharness in front of a projection screen. Soaring above
audiences while a video projector blasts Imax-worthy images behind
him, van Belle takes us on a rollercoaster ride across time and
space.
Strapped into a ying harness, swinging across the stage, telling
life-and-death stories of bravery andriskThe Highest Step in the
World is a dramatic piece of theatre, in every sense of the
word!

EDITORIAL OPINION
Hard on the heels of a leaked report stating B.C. Hydrocustomers
can look forward to a rate hike of up to 26per cent in the near
future, comes unfortunately timedinformation about the bloated
salaries paid to many at the Crowncorporation.
According to a recent report, almost half of those workingfor
the utility make more than $100,000, while over 10 per centmake
more than $150,000. Top executives made far more.
Its all extremely bad optics for a corporation pleading pov-erty
and sending earnest messages about how the piper will soonhave to
be paid. Speaking of the piper, its certainly true thatmany of B.C.
Hydros large, structural issues that have led to afinancial crunch
can be laid at the feet of the province.
It was the province that decided B.C. Hydro must buy powerfrom
independent power producers at higher than market rates.Its the
province that has also repeatedly dipped into the Hydropiggy bank
to prop up its own dubious budgeting practices.
In terms of the over-the-top salaries, however, the corpora-tion
itself stands squarely to blame. The latest revelation comestwo
years after a public report criticized B.C. Hydro for its
highsalaries. It also comes at a time when the province is
supposedlycracking down on exorbitant packages paid in the public
sector.
But the province continues to be compromised when it comesto
B.C. Hydro. Its hard to demand cuts while simultaneouslybleeding
the corporation for revenue.
When it comes to tightening belts at B.C. Hydro, or even
anappreciation of reality, it seems the lights are on, but
nobodysever home.

Open letter to YVR,Well, you blew it! Repaving is complete and
nothing is really
any better. All users of this route knew very well where all
thepotholes and hazards were, but traffic flow has not
improved!
I live in Richmond and have worked at the airport for 30years,
and commuting there has never been a greater challengethan it is
now. There is a 100-metre section northbound betweenCessna Drive
(BCIT) and Hudson Avenue (Burkeville entrance)that funnels traffic
down to two lanes delaying airport workersand passengers from the
right hand exit after Miller Road.
Why should passengers and airport workers be subjected tothe
Marpole/Arthur Laing bottleneck when we arent part ofthat problem?
As I type this, the back-up is over the No. 2 RoadBridge to
Westminster Hwy. with no doubt some airport workersand passengers
arriving late yet again.
The northbound section between BCIT and Hudson couldhave been
widened to three lanes quite easily, while still main-taining the
integrity of the bike lane, by moving the cementbarriers on the
right slightly eastward and the yellow line at themedian moved
slightly westward at no extra cost.
You could have had a right hand lane for
airport/buses/HOV/traffic all the way from the Dinsmore bridge.
Traffic flow inthis city and all of the Lower Mainland is bad
enough. Onewould think that when the opportunity presents itself to
improveupon traffic flow, one would take it. Im sure Im not the
onlyRichmond resident who is very disappointed in this outcome.

Re: Pathwaysto support, News,Sept. 27.
The provincerecently rejectedthe recommen-dation of theUBCM to
re-instate RiverviewHospital.
Our government hasmade the right decision.The debate and media
cov-erage over recent weekshas revealed a number ofimportant issues
that havereframed questions aboutRiverview Hospital, andthe Premier
is correct inher comments that there isa new set of problems weneed
to deal with.
Surprisingly, the ideaof reopening Riverviewgarnered a good deal
ofpublic support, at least inonline and radio commentsattached to
media cover-age. However, we questionthe logic that reopeningthe
hospital would havesolved complex problemslike homelessness,
povertyor the real lack of 24-hourcommunity-based treatmentfor
people with mental ill-ness and/or substance useproblems, as many
of thecomments suggested. Wealso wonder about the asser-tion made
by many com-mentators that Riverviewwould somehow be a
com-passionate solution.
Reopening Riverviewwould not be a compassion-ate solution to
homelessnessor poverty in our province.The truly
compassionatesolution would be to take anhonest look at how we
treatpeople with severe mentalillness and substance use
problems and change ourcourse of action.
For starters, we shouldensure that people who havedisabilities
can afford basiccosts of living. Poverty cancause a great deal of
stress,which can, in turn, worsensymptoms of mental illnessand
substance use problems.
In other words, if wemake it easier for peoplewith disabilities
to affordto make ends meet, we willhave less demand on ourmental
health care system.The CMHA has been advo-cating for the
governmentto increase the persons withdisability benefit and
indexit against cost of livingincreases.
Additionally, we need toaddress the lack of afford-able, safe,
and supportivehousing options in ourprovince. Many
BritishColumbians with mentalillnesses or substance useproblems
cannot access safeand reliable housing.
They can be found onthe street, under bridges andin shelters. To
address thisin the short-term we suggestthe government implementa
rental assistance programfor people who have lowincome and mental
illness.
A longer-term goalwould be to invest in build-ing a variety of
housingoptions across the provincewith varying levels of
mental healthtreatmentand supports.This wouldallow peopleat all
stages ofrecovery to livein, and con-tribute to, their
communities.There are significant
gaps in our communitymental health care systemthat need to be
addressed.For example, many peopledont realize most commu-nity
mental health servicesoperate during businesshours. It is important
wecreate programs that areavailable to respond to situ-ations that
arise at any timeof the day. We should notand cannot rely on
policedepartments, emergencyrooms and family membersto provide this
type of careon their own.
Some will argue thesesolutions fail to addressthe immediate
needs ofpeople with mental illnessin our province. They mightargue
we need to providean institutional setting tocare for people who
havesevere symptoms now. Wedont deny there are peopleon the street,
experiencingprofound distress, withoutresources to help.
However,people in institutional careeventually leave institu-tions,
often returning toill-equipped and under-resourced communities.

The Editor,Re: Feelin the heat, News, Sept. 20.Thank you for
such a well-written,
vividly articulated account of your expe-rience at Fire Ops 101.
It was a privilegeto provide a snapshot into a few hours ina career
firefighters day, and share thatwith you.
We truly cannot do this job safely andeffectively with any fewer
people on theground; in fact, many independent stud-ies have
resulted in recommendations ofmore manpower and equipment.
Building-density and numbers of occu-pants per building continue
to be on therise in all urban and sub-urban sectors,and with that,
it should follow that fire
department resources should proportion-ately increase, to keep
pace with risingneeds.
Your experience at Fire Ops 101, andthe way you chronicled it in
your story,puts an exclamation mark on all of that.Thank you, once
again, for your cour-age, tenacity and literary prowess...in
thatorder!
Thanks also to the VFRS TrainingDivision, the BCPFFA and IAFF

The Editor,Re: Richmond Walmart hits buffer,
again, News, Sept. 18.Given Richmonds pro-develop-
ment record, one wonders if councilwill try to kill two birds
with one stonewith the proposed Walmart complex atAlderbridge Way
and Garden City Road.
The plan would appear to be: welcomeyet more big-box mall
shopping, thuspresumably more business and propertytax dollars to
pad corporate salaries andexpense accounts.
Proponents conveniently ignore theinevitable increased
congestion and airpollution from more vehicle use thatpoor bus
service, unsafe or non-existentbicycle lanes, and too-distant rapid
transitwill necessitate.
More acres of pavement and asphaltmeans more heat, noise, debris
anddust. Perhaps the worst environmentaltragedy is the obliteration
of what oncewas one of the few remaining green andtreed
view/wildlife corridors in centralRichmond.
Hmmm, that strategy seems not toounlike erecting a giant white
elephantmoney-sucking pit along the No. 2 Roaddyke and obliterating
what once was a
green, environmentally-friendly exampleof an urban
campground.
That leafy oasis was not only extreme-ly well-used and popular,
it paid for itself,and arguably attracted far more touristdollars
into our city than the glorifedcommunity centre replacement
residentsmust now subsidize in perpetuity.
The family-owned Walmart monop-olys low cost, low wages
philosophybears major responsibility for the demiseof small-town
shopping streets andsmall family businesses all across
NorthAmerica.
Could Richmonds already establishedstripmalls, as ugly and
shadeless as mostare, or even precious Steveston, be next?
Queensboroughs Walmart is a mere10 minutes east on the
AlderbridgeConnector; the almost new former Ronaat Sea Island Way
and Sexsmith has lan-guished untenanted for years; rarely
busyLansdowne Mall with its huge under-utilized footprint and
latest low-budgetaddition, Target, lies one block from theproposed
site.
But hey! Walmart stores allow camp-ing for free.

Health&Wellness
A 36-year-old mancame to my clinicacross from RichmondHospital
with sharppains in his kneeswhen he walked, aswell as
unexplainedfatigue, dizziness, fre-quent low moods andpoor
concentration.
He also had a weak pulse and apale-dark tongue, both markers
ofiron deficiency in traditional Chinesemedicine (TCM).
Typically, men this age are not atrisk of being iron deficient,
but thereare always exceptions
Blood tests also confirmed hisiron deficiency, finding his
serumferritin to be below range and hemo-globin at the low end
within range.
After making specific changesin his diet and lifestyle, along
withtaking Chinese herbs and nutritionalsupplements, this mans
pains andsymptoms improved by 60 per centwithin two weeks.
Iron is needed for several func-tions in the body: it helps with
sleepand brain function; carries oxygento tissues and joints; and
producesfuel for the bodys cells, known asadenosine triphosphate
(ATP).
Exercise demands more oxygento the muscles and joints than
nor-mal, so when iron the carrierfor oxygen is below threshold
in
the body, the result-ing lack of oxygencan cause sharp
jointpains.
And when iron lev-els are low for a longtime, the deficiencywill
impact the dailyfunctioning of internalorgans, causing this
mans other symptoms.Serum ferritin measures the
backup stores of iron in the liver andis the first marker of
iron deficiencywhen it is low.
In contrast, hemoglobin is thecurrent use of iron in the blood,
andis the last marker to show low iron.Thus, when hemoglobin is
belowrange, the person is already anemic,a more severe form of iron
defi-ciency.
But common blood tests onlycheck hemoglobin. So, unless
bloodtests show a person has obvious ane-mia, those with iron
deficiency fallthrough a major crack in the medicalsystem.
According to the World HealthOrganization (WHO), more than 30per
cent of the global population suf-fers anemia.
This makes iron deficiency apre-anemia condition the mostcommon
and widespread nutritionaldisorder in the world.
To diagnose iron deficiency and
correct it before symptoms becomeworse or more prolonged, a
serumferritin test should be conducted.
The simplest way to then correctiron deficiency is through using
foodas medicine. Iron-rich foods includegreen smoothies, dark green
leafyvegetables such as spinach, kale,aragula, gailan, seaweed, as
well asraisins, prunes, apricots, lean meatsand eggs.
In more deficient cases, there arealso options to take western
nutri-tional supplements or Chinese herbalmedicine.
Taking Chinese herbs for irondeficiency is more effective
thanonly receiving acupuncture bothof which are important
modalities inTCM.
Richmond has many TCM herbalpharmacies to purchase
over-the-counter herbs, or get prescriptionsthrough seeing their
in-house herbal-ist.
Either way, if you have iron defi-ciency and want to address it
throughnatural herbs, visit a TCM doctor orherbalist to ensure it
is the best andsafest health choice for you.
Dr. Mee Lain Ling is a doctor ofTraditional Chinese Medicine
withher clinic located in the RichmondHealth Sciences Centre across
fromRichmond Hospital. Visit www.drmeelainling.com for more
healtharticles and contact information.

Ironwood Plaza andLansdowne Centre) andwaved signs at
variousoutdoor locations.
People know thathealth care touches every-one, and as a result,
thecommunity continues torally in greater numbers tohelp Richmond

Lost weekend for Major Midget CanadiansCariboo Cougars spoil
home opening series by hanging on for one win then rallying for
another at Olympic Oval
The Greater VancouverCanadians came away withnothing more than a
coupleof painful lessons from theirregular season home openerseries
against CaribooCougars last weekend.
After seeing a thirdperiod rally come up shortin a 4-3 loss
Saturday to thePrince George squad, theCanadians squandered a
latetwo goal lead 24 hours laterin a 6-5 setback. The resultsleave
the regional rep teamwith a 2-2 record in theB.C. Major Midget
HockeyLeague.
That was a tough oneto lose Saturday after bat-tling back the
way we didand then we turned aroundand handed them the gameon
Sunday, said Canadianshead coach Phil Alalouf.We didnt play 60
minutesof hockey in either game.The only bright spot is Irather be
giving away pointsat the start of the season,where you are at least
learn-ing something from it, thanat the end of year.
The Cougars looked toon their way to an easy winin the series
opener thanksto a pair of goals in the firstand second periods.
RyanWilkinson finally put thehosts on the board threeminutes into
the final stanzaand Nathan McCarnanstruck again just 10
secondslater. Dante Hannoun madeit 4-3 with 8:53 remainingbut the
hosts would get nocloser.
The Canadians lookedpoised to earn a weekendsplit when
Hannounsgoal with 11:41 remain-ing gave his team a 5-3lead.
However, the Cougarsanswered just 27 secondslater on a spectacular
effortby Brogan OBrien. Jesse
Roach put his team on eventerms less than two minuteslater, then
beat Sergio Del-Linz for the game winnerand his hat trick with
3:11left.
Up until last weekend,it had been smooth sailingfor Greater
Vancouver after
a perfect pre-season then apair of wins in Victoria toopen
league play againstthe South Island Royals.Now they need to
regroupwith perennial powerhouseVancouver Northwest Giantsup next
including a Sundaymorning tilt (10 a.m.) at the
Richmond Olympic Oval.The way things had
been going I think many ofthese young kids thoughtthey were all
that and a hamsandwich, added Alalouf.You have to remember a lotof
them come (from Bantamteams) that basically never
lost. This was a real eyeopener for them and they arehaving a
hard time reflectingon what happened to them.
Richmonds OwenSeidel had a pair of goals inSundays loss. Scott
Munroand Sean Gillespie had theothers.

Greater Vancouver Canadians Josh Murphy and Cameron Ginnetti
keep the puck away from Cariboo Cougars Brogan OBrien duringSundays
B.C. Major Midget Hockey League game at the Richmond Olympic Oval.
The Cougars rallied for a 6-5 victory.
Judd Lambert has been around the PacificInternational Junior
Hockey League longenough not to get too excited about a threegame
win streak.
After an unusual start to the season thatsaw the Richmond
Sockeyes play threestraight overtime games and not producea
victory, the defending league championslook to finally be hitting
their stride after aproductive week that saw them outscore
their
opponents 16-4.I dont know if we are actually rolling,
said Lambert. We have won three gamesbut have a long ways to go.
We are strivingto play 60 minutes of hockey. Right now,there are
good stretches and bad stretches.
Lambert returned behind the bench thisseason after a one year
hiatus and facesperhaps his greatest challenge thanks to
anextensive turnover of players.
Everything is brand new for 95 percentof this team, continued
Lambert. Otherthan my first season here, the other four
years I have had somewhat of a foundation(of veterans) to start
the season. Its a differ-ent challenge and thats why Im enjoying
it.
The regular seasons in the past havebeen kind of a long and a
grind becausewe didnt have that far to go as a team. Weusually had
a playoff spot wrapped up bythe end of October. The guys on this
teamunderstand we need to work on things andget better.
After a 3-0 win over North Vancouver, theSockeyes returned home
to dump the PortMoody Panthers 7-3 behind a goal and three
assists from Liam Lawson. Richmond thentraveled to Abbotsford
the next night andovercame shaky start to defeat the Pilots
6-2.Kootenay Alder made 39 stops while rookieAyden McDonald
continued his productivestretch with a pair of goals. The
16-year-oldnow has five in six games.
Were really happy with the way he isplaying, added Lambert. Hes
a big bodywho was unheralded at best but made theteam out of camp
and has done really well.
The Sockeyes return to action Thursdaywhen Grandview visits at 7
p.m.

Watson helps Canada capturebronze medal at PanAm Cup
PAUL WINSTANLEY/SPECIAL TO THE RICHMOND NEWS
Kaelan Watson (fourth from left) with her Canadian teammates
prior to the bronzemedal game at the Pan American Cup womens field
hockey championships in Argentina.
Kaelan Watson has helped Canadianwomens field hockey team reach
the podi-um at the Pan American Cup for the firsttime since
2004.
The 23-year-old defender fromRichmond made the most of her
firstmajor international competition as Canadaupset Chile 2-1 on
Saturday inMendoza, Argentina. Watsonjoined the national team
programearlier this year after an out-standing collegiate career at
theUniversity of Toronto. She thensecured a spot on the Pan
Amroster thanks to a strong training camp overthe summer.
The bronze medal match was playedin near freezing temperatures
as Canadalooked to avenge a 3-0 loss to Chile at thelast
continental competition the 2011Pan American Games.
Canada opened the scoring in the ninthminute when Thea Culley,
cleanly deflected
a shot from Sara McManus.Chile had a narrow escape a few
min-
utes later on a powerful penalty-corner byDanielle Hennig but
they progressivelysettled their nerves and play became bal-anced.
Canada defended well a few penalty-corners but were surprised by a
shot in a
difficult position by FranciscaVidaurre in the 26th minute.
Both teams started second halftentatively with unforced errorson
both sides. Canada took backthe lead in the 38th minute aftera
powerful run by Kate Gillis
along the back line and a perfect pass toCulley, alone in the
middle of the circle, forher second goal of the match.
Earlier, Canada had finished secondin their round-robin group
then droppeda 4-0 decision to the United States in thesemi-finals.
Watson and her teammatesare now preparing for an upcoming tour
ofAustralia.
