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

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].

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 Loc. 18for making Fire Ops 101 a possibility anda success.

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.

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.

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.

MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS

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.
