Rob Howardopts out of

next election

Rob Howard, MLA for Richmond Centre, hasannounced he won’t run in the next provincial elec-tion.

Howard, who has been involved in municipal orprovincial politics for 12 years, said his decision wasbased purely on “personal reasons,” adding that he andhis wife, Trudy, want to cross off a few more thingson their bucket-list.

He won the riding with ease in 2009, bagging 61per cent of the vote.

“…I will continue to work hard to ensure the BCLiberal team gets re-elected. I have a strong belief thatit can, and will, happen,” said Howard in a statement.

Howard said the time had come to “spend moretime with my family.

“The demands of politi-cal life make this difficultif not impossible. Some ofyou may know that my wifeTrudy is a two-time breastcancer survivor, the lasttime was during the 2009campaign.

“She is doing very wellnow; however we have afew other things on our‘bucket list’ we would liketo accomplish.”

Howard’s decision to giveup a relatively safe seat appears to have caught manyin Richmond’s political world off guard.

Coun. Ken Johnston, himself a former LiberalMLA and someone who counts himself as per-sonal friend of Premier Christy Clark, said he was“shocked” by the announcement.

“I didn’t see that one coming, especially asRichmond Centre is a fairly safe seat,” addedJohnston, who ruled himself out of a return to provin-cial politics.

“Although, despite what people think, it’s anextremely difficult lifestyle going back and forth, backand forth to Victoria.

“But it is still very surprising.”Veteran councillor Bill McNulty was similarly

taken aback to hear of Howard stepping down.“It is surprising, but I can understand his commit-

ment to his family, family must come first,” he said.

Humanitarian trip inspires youthWannabe doctor helps weigh babies, lay brick in clinic

In an unlit church in a rural area in Shiru,Kenya, is a small medical outreach clinic whereRichmond’s Ashley Wong spent half of her sum-mer.

“As a student interested in the medical fieldand Doctors Without Borders, an outreach clinicwas something that I wanted to experience first-hand to determine if I want to pursue medicineas a career,” said the 17-year-old McMath gradu-ate. “On arrival, we were greeted by many of thelocals and after an introduction we got straightto work. My role was to organize the drugs andperform a few miscellaneous jobs.”

Ashley was one of only two from Richmondtaking part in an International DevelopmentProject with Scouts Canada. The focus of theproject was to refurbish and expand a smallmedical centre that serviced a communityof 17,000 people in a rural Kenyan village.Presently, the clinic struggles to meet thedemands of the community and required help toupgrade and expand.

“We were 23 all together and the others werefrom Ontario,” said Ashley, who has been part ofScouts Canada for six years now.

When Ashley was asked to document theclinic work by taking photos of the patients, sheadmitted feeling uncomfortable. But she soondiscovered the patients were more than happy tohave their photo taken.

“After that, my first job was to help weighsome babies,” said Ashley. “Unlike in Canada,they do not have electronic scales, but ratherhanging scales much like those we would find ina grocery store to weigh fruits and vegetables.

“A baby would be wrapped in cloth and thenhung by the cloth on the scale. It was an interest-ing improvisation.”

For a young woman who wants to studymedicine, the humanitarian trip was a wonderfullearning curve.

“I had the opportunity to see with my owneyes how the health care system in a less devel-oped area of the world functions, and it inspired

me to work harder to experience this again,”she added. “It was challenging in new ways andit was a different experience from that on theworksite.”

The most challenging, or heart wrenchingpart of the trip was seeing the slums.

“It was sad, it was scary and yet interesting,”said Ashley. “It was also inspiring to see thatdespite their poverty and having no access totechnology, they appeared happy and smiling.”

When she wasn’t working with patients in theclinic, she helped lay the foundation for the newmaternity ward.

“With the new maternity ward and a big-ger clinic, the village hopes to attract a doctor,”said Ashley. “Right now there is only a nurse to

deliver the babies.”After laying bricks or working in the clinic,

Ashley had fun playing with the young Kenyanchildren.

“We taught them some dance moves and afew songs,” she said.

The scouting contingency also raised dona-tions of $15,000 in cash to help pay for therenovated clinic.

“We also donated more than 1,100 pounds ofmedicine,” she said.

At night, Ashley bonded with both theKenyan and her colleagues. “After the construc-tion work was done, we all ate dinner togetherand played soccer,” she added.

“The majority of Kenyans spoke English.”

BY MICHELLE [email protected]

Six Richmond organizationswere granted funding totaling$82,200.

The BC Arts Council (BCAC)approved the grants to support artsand culture in the community.

For the Gateway Theatre, the$18,000 grant is the difference

between being able to attract newCanadian works and having topick up co-productions or lesscostly theatre productions.

“This operating funding allowsus to take risks,” said GatewayTheatre’s general managerSuzanne Haines. “It primarily

allows us to diversify our theatreline-up and offer new shows.”

Haines went on to say that itsJanuary 2013 production of Sisters(by Simon Johnston) is a perfectexample of what the grant means.

“This is a brand new show,which will premiere on our

MainStage,” said Haines.“Without the grant, it makes it

difficult for us to take a risk suchas this show.”

Although there appears to be no obviousLiberal candidate to fill Howard’s shoes,names such as BC Conservative Party lead-er John Cummins, a former Richmond EastMP, and local lawyer Richard Lee, who ranunsuccessfully for mayor last fall, are beingbandied about.

Cummins has yet to name the ridinghe’ll run in since taking over the B.C.Tories leadership last year, and he may seehis old stomping ground as an ideal oppor-tunity.

While Lee told the News he’d considerrunning should any of the parties get intouch with him.

He added, however, that he’d prefer tosee someone from the current city councilstep up and run for MLA, opening the win-dow for him to run for council in the subse-quent by-election.

Meanwhile, Howard thanked the premierfor having the confidence to appoint him toa number of positions including chair of the

Finance Committee, and most recently asparliamentary secretary to the Minister ofTransportation.

“This has allowed me to tackle issueswhich are important to me, and, in fact, arethe reasons that drove me into politics inthe first place,” said Howard.

“To my wife Trudy, and my son Jay, whohave supported me and played a big part inthe success I have enjoyed, and to my rid-ing executive who have been invaluable tome as an MLA, I say thank you from thebottom of my heart.

“Finally, I want to thank the citizensof Richmond who have entrusted me withpublic office. It has been a true pleasureserving the most diverse and dynamic cityon the planet. I have met many new friendsand acquaintances and I look forward tostaying in touch with you all in the future.”

Premier Clark commended Howard forhis “passion and dedication” to the job andto the people of Richmond.

There were two nonprofit organizations that werevery dear to Helen Hopkins’ heart — the St. Joseph’sSchool of Nursing in Victoria — where she graduatedfrom back in 1963 — and the Terry Fox Foundation.

“Although Helen loved to donate to many charitiesover the years, these two were very important to her,”said her husband of 49 years, who lost Helen to canceron Jan. 26, 2012. “She was a quiet person who didn’tpush charity but she supported many of them.”

With tears in his eyes, the longtime Richmond resi-dent spoke lovingly about his wife and the foundation.Helen died of liver and breast cancer, although she’dconquered Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which she wasdiagnosed with in 2003 and ocular melanoma in 2009.

“She was such a fighter and had a wonderful spirit,”added Hopkins.

The couple began taking part in the Terry Fox runsmore than a decade ago.

“We did it just about every year in Richmond,” headded.

However, two years ago Hopkins began volunteeringas well.

“In 2010, I met John Young (the organizer of theRichmond run), when we both volunteered at the Ovalduring the Olympics,” he said. “John asked me if I want-ed to volunteer.”

The 71-year-old went on to say that Helen was drawnto the Terry Fox Foundation for many reasons.

“She saw Fox as a national hero, and liked that hisfoundation had no fee to take part in the run, no mini-mum donation to raise and that it kept Canada connectedto a local hero,” he said. “Helen took part in the 2010run and raised the second most amount of money for anindividual that year.

“She pushed herself to walk to the finish line.”At this year’s fundraising event, Hopkins is the cap-

tain in charge of four posts — the water station, FirstAid, safety and traffic control.

“My son, John and his wife Dovelle, and my twograndsons Aidan, five, and Liam, eight, will all take partin the run,” said Hopkins.

Meanwhile, Young encourages everyone in Richmondto come out and get involved.

“Even if you can’t walk or run, come out to supportthis great cause and have fun,” said Young, adding therun is all manned by volunteers. “This is truly a realcommunity event. There are no pre-registration fees and85 per cent of all donations received go directly to can-cer research.”

Last year, more than 750 participants came out andraised more than $25,000.

“This wasn’t our best year but it certainly was one ofour better years,” added Young.

This year, Donna White, the provincial director forthe BC/Yukon Terry Fox Foundation, will be the guestspeaker at the event.

“We will have lots of free food and water as well asentertainment,” said Young. “We also sell T-shirts andsweatshirts, with proceeds going to the foundation.”

The 10th annual Richmond 2012 Terry Fox Run hap-pens on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 9 a.m. at Garry Point Park.Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the run/walk/cyclebegins at 10 a.m. There are one, five and 10 km. routesEveryone is welcome, strollers and dog on leashes too.For more information, visit www.terryfox.org/Run/.

There’s an ancient Japanese legend thatsays if someone folds 1,000 origami cranes,they will be blessed with everlasting goodluck, a long life or a full recovery from adevastating illness.

At the Summer Night Market, nearly 700colourful origami cranes are hanging andgently wafting in the wind.

It is part of a fundraising effort to raisemoney for Rethink Breast Cancer — anonprofit organization that responds to theunique needs of young women with breastcancer (between the ages of 20 to 40) andtheir families, through educational and sup-port programs.

So far, $850 has been raised throughdonations of the cranes.

At the helm of the 1,000 Cranes for 1Wish: To End Breast Cancer campaign isRichmond’s Sandy Yun.

“I was approached with the idea of thecranes and I chose Rethink Breast Cancer tobe the cause we support,” she said.

It is a cause dear to her heart.When Yun was 38 she was diagnosed with

aggressive breast cancer.The young mother couldn’t believe it.

There was no family history, she ate well,

didn’t smoke nor drink.“I waited months to get diagnosed because

I was still nursing my son and I just thoughtit couldn’t be … I just wasn’t on the radar forbreast cancer,” said the cancer survivor. “I’mthe youngest of six, with three sisters and nohistory of breast cancer in my family, exceptfor one cousin.”

Three years ago, she underwent a doublemastectomy as well as chemotherapy andradiation.

Yun said she owes so much to RethinkBreast Cancer.

“They were invaluable to me and myfamily,” said the 41-year-old. “Children gothrough many emotions and my daughter wasable to attend a children’s program, and theyhelped with child care and much more.”

For a small donation, Summer NightMarket visitors are encouraged to stop by thebooth and sign one of the cranes in supportof Rethink Breast Cancer. “Our goal is 1,000cranes by the last day of the market, whichis Sept. 16,” added Yun. “It is such a goodcause; I just want to raise as much money aspossible.”

The Summer Night Market is open untilSept. 16, Friday to Sunday from 7 p.m. tomidnight at 12631 Vulcan Way. For moreinformation about Rethink Breast Cancer,visit www.rethinkbreastcancer.com.

EDITORIAL OPINION

On Thursday we saw what had been expected for sometime: Robert Fawcett, the man accused of cruelly killingmore than 50 sled dogs in Whistler in 2010, pleaded guiltyin North Vancouver Provincial Court.

Unlike the dozens of other cases heard in the samecourtroom this week, and thousands of others so far thisyear, this one drew protesters, placards and media fromacross the Lower Mainland.

Fawcett’s crime was as shocking as it was inhumane, butit says something about our collective attitude that this casehas mobilized people unlike almost any other.

B.C.’s courts hear countless cases that involve humansuffering, and the media report on events every day thatunderscore the misery experienced by many in this prov-ince, and yet it is the stories involving animals that sparkthe most sustained outrage.

One could argue that animals require special attentionbecause they are voiceless, but the marginalized groupswho find themselves the target of some of the worst crimesoften go equally unheard.

As regular courtroom reporters can tell you, mental ill-ness, addiction, poverty, abuse and other forms of lifelongdisenfranchisement are frequent themes, as often amongthe offenders as among their victims.

The province, feeding off public anger, has tight-ened rules for the sled dog industry and toughened thePrevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

Maybe if we saw this type of anger in cases where lackof access to proper mental healthcare or funding for chil-dren in foster care were factors, our courtrooms would bequieter places year-round.

Premier Christy Clarkis “re-structuring” hercabinet, but a more pressingchallenge for her is findingenough credible candidatesto carry her party’s tar-nished banner in the nextelection.

And she’s not the onlyleader facing this dauntingtask. B.C. Conservativeleader John Cummins mustalso find 83 people to runfor his party (I’m presumingboth him and MLA Johnvan Dongen will be runningnext May).

Both parties must runcareful background checkson prospective candidates toweed out potential embar-rassments. If either partyfinds itself unable to wooenough people to run, Iwonder whether those back-ground checks will weakenand thus allow suspectcandidates to garner a nomi-nation.

It would seemCummins and his partyis particularly vulnerableto this scenario. The B.C.Liberals, for all their prob-lems, still have a solid partyinfrastructure in place andthe party is run by experi-enced hands who have beeninvolved in three electionvictories.

The B.C. Conservatives,on the other hand, have yetto demonstrate they pos-sess a disciplined, seasonedprocess to oversee its elec-tion campaign. Cumminsonce expressed concern tome on a Shaw Voice of B.C.program that he was wor-ried his party would attractthe wrong kind of candidatewho could prove embar-rassing.

As I wrote herepreviously, the B.C.Conservatives have toinoculate themselves from“bozo eruptions” from can-didates in the middle of acampaign. They can derailany campaign momentumrather quickly.

Indeed, Cummins him-self has just provided theexact kind of comment I’mtalking about. In an inter-view with The VancouverSun’s Jonathon Fowlie lastweek, Cummins comparedhimself to Jesus Christ noless.

In talking about facinga potential challenge to hisleadership, Cummins saidhe could find only one partyboard member who wantedhim gone.

Then, he added this gemof a quote: “I hate to use abiblical reference but Christhad 12 apostles, and oneturned him in. We share thesame initials but I can’t risefrom the dead and I can’tget unanimity on the board.I wouldn’t expect to be ableto. He couldn’t. I can’t.”

While Cummins is ask-ing people to come onboard a new venture, wherethe expectations might notbe so high, Clark is tryingto convince people to jumpaboard a ship that is listingbadly and seems likely to gounder, or at least not rightitself any time soon.

While her predecessor,Gordon Campbell, couldwoo “star” candidatessuch as Carole Taylor,Wally Oppal, MargaretMcDermiad, Kash Heed,and Moira Stilwell withthe offer of a cabinet post,Clark is not in a position todo that.

The best she can offer,right now at least, is thechance to be a portfoliocritic sitting in the OfficialOpposition. That’s not themost appealing offer topeople who currently havegood careers in the privatesector.

The one leader sitting inthe catbird seat is, of course,the NDP’s Adrian Dix. He’sonly losing a handful ofMLAs from his existingcaucus (Clark, on the otherhand, will lose about 20 sit-ting MLAs) and his party iswell along in the nomina-tion process.

The NDP has alreadylanded a star candidate inlong time labour leaderJudy Darcy, who will run inNew Westminster, and hasmore than a dozen new can-didates as well.

The NDP finds itself ina situation similar to the oneit faced in 1991, when itwas also heavily favoured toform government.

It’s yet another parallelto the pivotal 1991 elec-tion, which saw a long-timepolitical dynasty almostdisappear from sight.

The current premier hasa lot of work ahead of her toprevent the same thing hap-pening again next May.

Keith Baldrey is chiefpolitical reporter for GlobalBC.

The Editor,As you will recall, on the last Sunday of September we

remember the peace officers who have fallen in the line of duty.We can recall the funerals, we remember the pain suffered by

the young families, and their names are remembered.Just as a bruise or a black eye is obvious evidence of the vio-

lent world in which we ask police to work, these names representthe losses we can see.

Every day, peace officers, just as the military, suffer injuriesthat we cannot see.

And at times, lives are lost. But those losses and the namesdo not make it into the media.

The funerals are small, announcements are vague, the friendsand family suffer in silence.

It is time we understand that “occupational stress injury” or“post traumatic stress injury” is real and can be fatal.

In the fullness of time, we will understand this disease betterand do more to save the lives affected.

For now, please remember those brave men and womennamed on the National Memorial in Ottawa; but then take amoment to remember those who died as a result of a more subtlejob-related disease, those who did their best to serve us and pro-tect us then, because of what we asked them to do and what weasked them to see, they became ill and could go on no longer ...thank you.

Consuming shark finneeds to become asunsexy as smoking

The Editor,Re: “Fin ban advocates confront restau-rateur,” News, Aug 24

A $75 dollar bowl of shark fin is not mycup of Earl Grey, but, at one time it was onmy bucket list. But, not no more! I’ve seenthe facts and ‘No soup for me!’

So how does one educate others to thefacts when the facts are being ignored?

Well, let’s look at what we’ve done tothe once sexy, cool looking, hip, widelyaccepted cigarette — and, right from theget-go, I’m not comparing the pros andcons of cigarettes to shark fin soup, buthow we might deal with the issue of sharkfin soup.

Cigarettes are bad for you, but mostsmokers ignored the info. Shark fin soup isbad, but not for you, just for the shark saysthe info.

With cigarettes, we banned all TV adsand made the image of someone smok-ing on camera just not cool. Smoking wasbanned from public places and delegated tounattractive, lonely spots outside. The onceproud, good looking, sexy cowboy mountedon his steed lighting up a cancer stick say-ing “Come to where the flavor is,” whilesurrounded by 10,000 cattle (never under-stood that image) is long gone.

With shark fin soup ... well, theDiscovery Channel would have to cancelShark Week for a start. Gone are the imag-es of powerful underwater leviathans entic-

ing restaurant patrons to a soup bowl offin. Flashing their proud erect dorsal fin toa viewership of young potential consumerswould be no longer. Shows like this makethe shark look powerful, smart and invin-cible. So it only makes sense (to some) thatby removing a part of its anatomy, maybeone could attain such prowess.

The movie Jaws would be limited tolate night viewing only with an ‘R’ rating.Trouble with that is, if you were a purveyorof soup with fins in it, while watching thatmighty shark thrash around, you might getthe munchies for a hot bowlful!

And if the practice of eating shark finsoup prevailed in restaurants, it would haveto be consumed on the exterior of the build-ing sharing an overhang, shielded from therain with the last remaining smokers.

Yes, good people, lets unite! Let’s makeit look uncool to slurp down a hot bowlfulof the tiny tip of a once great ancient beast.It will be something the smokers will unitewith us on. Let’s put a ban on Shark FinSoup!

How we do it? Well, suggested one way.If you want to ride your bike around witha big red circle with a line through it anda shark fin in the middle of it on your tee-shirt go right ahead. Just leave my BuffaloWings alone! It doesn’t hurt them and theanimal and they still can have babies!

Bob NilesRichmond

The Editor,My late father (2002), a commercial

salmon fisherman who was always worriedabout fish-farming and dam-site damageto B.C.’s wild salmon, must be whirling inhis urn if he can observe what our federalgovernment is doing – and much morefrightening, going to do – to seriously dam-age (perhaps irrevocably) salmon habitat,amongst many other eco aspects, and to apoint way beyond what Dad thought wouldever be done.

So many very-early mornings, I’d brieflyget up for a washroom break and see thelight breaking through underneath his bed-room door and into the hallway’s darkness,with my father on the other side very-slow-ly typewriting missives to various politi-cians. I must’ve proofread and made many

grammar corrections to almost a couplehundred letters of his over the years, just onthis topic alone.

Although I’d assure him that the politi-cians do not have or will not give their timeto personally respond to each concernedwriter; that they almost certainly hadhired staff to read the missives and use an‘issue-template’ letter return system, with aspecific template ready to respond to everypotential issue. All they’d likely do is type-in the letter-writer’s name and address andprint it out to mail back …

Nonetheless, my father typed on aboutwhat were to him the greatest fish-habitatconcerns of the day.

Oh, the irony.Frank G. Sterle, Jr.

Your body needs aregular, balanced varietyof physical activity to helpyou function – and feel– at your best.

Four keys areas to focuson are flexibility, strength,balance and cardiovascularfitness.

Many of my patientswho labour during theday feel too exhausted atshift’s end and feel thatthey are getting sufficientexercise.

Yet they may be miss-ing out on one or more ofthese key areas of fitness.

Physical fitness sup-ports emotional and men-tal health.

Being physically fitimproves our personalsense of wellbeing. Itsimply feels good tohave the strength, agility,coordination and energyto meet the demands ofeveryday life.

Adequate stretching(once your muscles havewarmed up) can improveyour flexibility anddecrease areas of muscletension.

Often after startinga new activity, you mayexperience areas of sore-ness. Stretching can helpthis. Flexibility may also

prevent injuries both withexercise and during yournormal daily activity.

Though most of usdon’t want to look likebodybuilders, we can allbenefit by strength train-ing with resistance bandsor light weights.

It may make house-

keeping and grocery shop-ping much easier.

Working on your bal-ance will not only improvehow gracefully you movebut prevent accidents andinjuries – including falls.

This is especiallyimportant for the elderlywho are at increased riskfor falling and sufferinghip fractures and head

injuries.Cardiovascular condi-

tioning improves circula-tion to your brain andslows down atherosclerosisof the cerebral circula-tion – the large and smallblood vessels that serveyour brain. This decreasesyour likelihood of devel-oping vascular dementiadue to cerebral ischemiaand multiple strokes.

Distance runners,swimmers and cyclistsare familiar with the zonewherein they experienceextended periods of peace

and wellbeing duringsustained cardiovascularactivity.

It can become a formof meditation and pro-vide a daily ritual thatmaintains calm in yourbusy life.

Of course, exerciseburns calories, allowingyou to maintain the right

energy balance, healthybody weight and percent-age of body fat.

Exercise can increaseyour lean muscle massand thereby increase yourmetabolic rate.

Swanky yachts and regal schoonersskim the sun-glinted waves below. Theyunite with ocean-going kayaks, speedydragon boats and other pleasure vesselsthat share their hulls with the seaside.

Framed by a rugged coastline andbacked by powdered peaks, it’s a settingthat’s picturesque to a fault and truly epit-omizes the axiom, Super Natural BritishColumbia.

Although there are plenty of ways tocheck out Victoria’s scenic sites, dur-ing this visit with my daughter we enjoya couple of the more adventuresomeoptions, and this one comes with a bird’seye view.

After briefly surfing the Pacific, ourDeHavilland Beaver rises to this occasionand over the next 30 minutes we share thesunny skies with soaring eagles. CooperAir’s aviator, Mick, doubles as an infor-mative guide and while navigating theseaplane he provides a running commen-tary of the attractions below.

“The promenade is a great place tocheck out the activities,” he explains aswe pass over the bustling hub. Althoughbriefly interrupted by Johnson StreetBridge, the walkway encircles the innerharbour where the colourful past inte-grates delightfully with the present.

Streets are dressed with bouquets andKabuki Kabs, Cinderella horse-drawncarriages, and double-decker buses whisktime-rich vacationers to internationallyacclaimed tourist attractions.

From our panoramic viewpoint we canvisually trace the pedestrian causewaythat leads to our temporary home awayfrom home, the Laurel Point Inn.

Snuggling up to her jetty perch shesparkles with contemporary sophisti-cation and melds harmoniously withVictoria’s Old World architecture.

Our flight veers to the west and Mickshares historical tidbits along the way.“Fisguard is the oldest lighthouse on theWest Coast,” he informs, while flying

over Fort Rodd Hill National HistoricPark. Although only accessible only fromthe sea during its prime time, we can see

that Ocean Boulevard now winds its wayaround to this once vigilant beacon.

Clusters of verdant evergreens border

shimmering lakes, and a few minutes tothe north, the Edwardian-style ButchartGardens comes into view. While sprawl-ing over fifty palatial acres it hosts anumber of theme gardens and provides amantle of colour year round.

We putter over patchwork farmlands,grey winding highways, and golf greensspeckled with undulating plateaus.

The highlight for my daughter is whenwe hover over the University of Victoria,and visit from above, not on foot as shedid a few years ago.

“There aren’t too many students whoget to see their campus from this vantagepoint,” Mick chuckles, “and as you cansee, it’s just a quick jaunt to the beachwhenever the students need a break.”

The strand of rocky shoreline is dottedwith posh homes and washed continu-ously by gentle waves.

Trillions of sparkles reflect off thesapphire waters and while buzzing closerto sea level we spot shimmering shad-ows, reminding us of the marine life thatthrives just beneath.

In my mind’s eye, I retrace the previ-ous day’s activity when Cuda MarineAdventures provided a similar encounter,but from an entirely different viewpoint.

Our covered vessel had plied effort-lessly along this same coastal waterwayand, although shielded from head windsand ocean spray, we enjoyed marine lifesightings through surrounding windows.

Frolicking porpoises played leapfrogas they rode in our wake, and teary-eyedseals joined stoic cormorants on the crag-gy Great Chain Island.

During our three-hour cruise we wereprivy to a line up of first-rate perfor-mances and, with microbiology majorDave at the helm, we received the insidescoop on them all.

The height of excitement came whenthe first signature dorsal fin slicedthrough the sapphire surface. “That’sRuffles,” Dave announced withouthesitation “He’s about 55-years-old, andGranny, his sister, is over 90.”

Flight: Sparks daydream

The majestic killer whaleswere like friends to ourguide, but for us, their titlesdidn’t matter. It was theirsplendour that tweaked ourcuriosity and activated ourzoom lenses — the way amother and calf arched inunison over the water’s sur-face, then dipped beneath,like partially submergedwater balloons — naturallyspectacular!

I shake myself out of the

daydream just in time to getone last overview beforeour seaplane gently splashesdown. Though our stay inVictoria is just about over,the little white aqua bus thattransports us to the other sideof the harbour reminds methat there is one last adven-ture in store –the scenic BCferry ride that will take usback home.

BC Hydro is undertaking work at the Kidd 2 Substation (No. 4 Road andRiver Drive) to meet increasing demand for electricity in Richmond and toincrease the reliability of Richmond’s electricity system.

The project involves installing two transformers (in sound barrierenclosures) and constructing a building to house new distributionequipment.

We will need to install piles to stabilize the ground before foundations canbe constructed for the transformers and building. Pile work is scheduledto begin in early September and will take approximately 8 weeks.

The entire project is scheduled for completion in fall 2013.

Work is scheduled to take place on weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and8:00 p.m. Work may take place on some Saturdays, but would notstart until 9:00 a.m.

I’ve spent decades dehy-drated. I didn’t know I wasso severely parched until Istarted hydrating properly.

The main reason I didn’trealize how bad it was isbecause I very rarely feelthirsty. I’ve since learnedthat my body expressesdehydration through lessobvious symptoms thanthirst.

Instead of thirst, I get aracing heart, dizziness, andI have difficulty recallingcertain words when I’m talk-ing. The symptoms go awayimmediately after I hydrate.Now, I just try to stayhydrated so my body doesn’thave to go through the stress.

The human body is morethan 50 per cent water — thebrain is closer to 75 — andthe blood and kidneys arearound 80.

We constantly lose waterthrough breathing, sweating,and going to the bathroom.

Without sufficient replen-ishment, muscles fatigueand cramp; skin dries out;toxins build up in all tissues;the body can’t regulate tem-perature through sweating;nutrients including oxygenare not transported prop-erly through the blood; thebowels get sluggish; and the

brain and kidneys can’t func-tion properly. Basically, wecan’t function well.

The kidneys in particularlike to soak up the H2O.They regulate electrolytes,filter toxins out of the blood,and regulate blood pressure.

Without sufficient water,sodium, potassium, andother minerals needed formuscle and nerve functionbecome unbalanced. Toxinsbuild up and cause infectionsand illness.

In addition, low bloodvolume due to dehydrationcauses the heart to workharder to circulate the thickblood. Ultimately, peoplewho don’t drink enoughwater can experience symp-toms beyond thirst whichinclude dizziness, fatigue,irritability, headaches, cogni-tive fuzziness, and decreasedcoordination.

It is usually athletes whoare most concerned aboutstaying hydrated, but youngchildren and the elderly arealso at an increased risk tosuffer from symptoms ofdehydration.

In these populations,several seemingly unrelatedsymptoms such as: confu-sion; crankiness and sleepi-ness are overlooked as asymptom of dehydration.

The best way to deter-mine whether a person isdehydrated is the colour oftheir urine. Light or colour-less urine is good. Dark yel-low urine is an indicator ofdehydration (note: vitamin B

supplements will make urineturn more yellow).

I realize that the summeris almost over and somepeople will wonder why I’mmentioning hydration now.The reason is because weare usually good at hydratingwhen it’s hot out. It’s the restof the time that we forget.

Out of all the clients whocome to see me at my office

for counselling, approxi-mately 70 per cent do not eator hydrate properly, whichmakes them less resilient tothe effects of stress.

If you are currently goingthrough a transition or deal-ing with a problem, it is evenmore important to take careof your body. Physical healthand emotional health areintertwined.

Try whenever possibleto encourage children tohydrate with water and avoiddrinks that have caffeine.

Caffeine is a diuretic thatpulls water away from thecells and has a dehydratingeffect.

A lot of people complainthat they don’t like the tasteof water, but that’s becausethey drink too much sugar.

You can try to put a littlelime or lemon in the water ifyou are weaning off sugar.

We have some of the bestwater in the world, so turnthe tap on and fill your glass,your granny’s glass, and yourkid’s glass.

As the oldest child ofprotective parents my firstexperience of the publictransit system was in Grade7. My class was going tothe Museum of Vancouver,and while my fellow class-mates shuffled up the metalstairs, I curiously alightedthe large vehicle with anawe I’m sure was amusingto everyone. The bus was

dirty and crowded, but I wasmore than happy to stand.And I was delighted by thethrilling jerk the bus madewhen we started off. “It’slike skateboarding!” I hadexclaimed. Which, comingfrom me was absurd becauseI had never skateboardedbefore either. Needlessto say, I must have been asource of entertainment to

my teacher and classmates.In a word, they were prob-ably all thinking: “Wow,what a Newb.”

Thankfully, this odd,magical exhilarationhas long since worn off.Although the Canada Lineis convenient beyond belief,it does not dazzle me asit once did. I have grownfamiliar to the sights and

patterns. People enter, finda seat, stare out the window,check their phone, pumptheir music, read their news-paper, sleep, dream, wakeabruptly and exit. One getsto observe the silent white-collared workers, the young,gadget absorbed loners,the exhausted, overworkedheroes transporting betweenjobs, the giddy elementaryschool kids, delighted bytheir independence, theoverly affectionate cou-ples… basically, the manyfaces on the bus.

I’ve started conversa-tions with strangers onceor twice. Sitting hip to hip,both trying to appear occu-pied, I’ve turned, smiledtimidly, and asked them ifthey had a busy afternoon.It’s a question that’s neverfailed me; because usuallythe answer to my delicatelypoised question is ‘yes.’ Andusually it comes attached toa smile. Because just likeyou and me, these peopleare probably bored and tired,and wish someone would bebrave enough to care. Andwhen I say care, I mean ashuman beings. Saying hellodoes not instantly commityou to a lifelong friend-ship. But it is a greeting thatbrings strangers together,and turns a dull ride into apleasant one. One elderly

lady I talked to was com-ing home from a card club.In 10 minutes she had toldme about her daughter whohad studied literature inuniversity, her hobbies, andthe rules of bridge. Anotherlady had just finished hernanny shift and was headedto work at McDonalds. Thisstrong woman had workedthe entire day, would gethome late, sleep minimally,and then take off the nextmorning to do it all again.

And so to tell you thetruth; in a certain sense,riding the bus will neverbecome boring. It seemsironic that those crowdedboxes on wheels can befilled with isolated individu-als. It’s like S.T. Coleridge’smuch quoted “Water, watereverywhere and not a dropto drink.” Loneliness shouldnot exist in a place where somany are familiar with thefeeling.

So this school year, I’mdetermined to make themost of public transit. Notjust as a way of going “thereand back again,” but as amedium for meeting people.Who knows, maybe one dayI’ll sit next to you and sayhello.

Anna Toth is a recentgraduate of BurnettSecondary and is startingher first year at UBC.

According to RBC,women entrepreneurs areone of the fastest growingsegments of the Canadianeconomy, contributing inexcess of $18 billion toour economy annually.

Women start four outof every five businessesand 47 per cent of allsmall- and medium-sizedenterprises in Canada

have at least one femaleowner. The BusinessDevelopment Bank ofCanada (BDC) states thatwomen own one-third ofall Canadian businesses.

Successful womenentrepreneurs are rolemodels.

Women just startingin business look to theiraccomplishments andfinancial savvy as guidestowards success in theirown enterprises.

Women investors canalso learn from these rolemodels, as there are simi-larities in what needs to bedone.

Managing their com-panies toward specificand measurable targetsis a hallmark of success-ful women entrepreneurs.Business success or failuredepends on it.

Targets also motivatewomen investors exceptthat their milestones arepersonal. Having a focuson specific events, suchas major purchases andretirement, drives themtoward discipline andinvolvement.

The RBC survey foundthat women investors arehands-on, with 65 percent saying that beingable to plan for theirfuture is a top benefit ofbeing knowledgeable andinvolved in managing theirinvestments.

A recent BarclaysWealth study concurs,stating that 45 per cent ofwomen want greater dis-cipline in their financialaffairs including savings,research, and followingthrough on well-developedplans.

That approach to invest-ing emulates the womanentrepreneur. BDC andIndustry Canada studiesshow that entrepreneurialwomen prefer to exercisecontrol in moving theirenterprises toward objec-tives.

However, in the area ofrisk there is some diver-gence between women inbusiness and women man-aging personal finances.

According to a studyby the Financial IndustryRegulatory Authority

(FINRA), women inves-tors have low tolerance forrisk.

They tend to have morebalanced portfolios with agreater allocation to cashand fixed income invest-ments. They purchasestocks in companies theyknow and understand,mostly choosing blue-chipinvestments. Similarly,the Barclays Wealth sur-vey found that only 33 percent of women classifiedthemselves as risk tak-ers and 31 per cent had alower propensity to takeon higher risk in order toachieve greater investmentreturns.

Women business lead-ers on the other hand willembrace risk related tobusiness or professionalopportunities, according toa survey by the SimmonsSchool of Management inBoston.

When asked to reflecton how frequently theypursued a major changeinitiative deemed to berisky, 80 per cent of thewomen reported “some-times” or “often.”

Taking such risks wereoften deemed necessary toachieve greater compensa-tion and career rewards.

Women investors needto apply women entrepre-neurs’ risk-taking attitudeto their portfolios in orderto reach their long-termgoals.

According to RBC,women are more heavilyinvested in GICs or termdeposits and less inclinedto invest in stocks, withonly 10 per cent opting forequities. That approachcannot generate sufficientgrowth to fund retirement.

Judges for the 2012RBC Canadian WomenEntrepreneur Awards wereasked to assess candidateson criteria such as thedetermination to succeed,perseverance, courage totake risks, and seizingopportunities.

Women investorsshould see these attributesas the same qualities need-ed for portfolio success.

“Moving to The Maple Residenceswas the best choice I ever made.”

“I’ve made so many new friendssince moving to The MapleResidences.”

After nearly six years in New York,Richmond native Greg Pember has come totake part in the Vancouver Fringe Festival.

“I decided to come home for the summer,and I had mentioned to my actor friends herethat I wanted to do some theatre,” said the24-year-old. “A friend was already cast inRiverview High so I set up an audition.”

He snagged a role in the ensemble asJason, as well as assisting the choreographer.

“As the captain, I assist the choreogra-pher to make sure that the dances are cleanand everyone is together on the moves,” saidPember. “We only have rehearsals once aweek, so it’s really fast-paced because theplay is an hour and 20 minutes long.”

Riverview High is loosely based on theArchie comic books. It’s a classic tale of boy-likes-two-girls — the sweet blonde and thesexy brunette — and which does he choose.Although the production doesn’t use thecharacters names from the Archie series, it’s aspin off of sorts. (In Archie the girls are Bettyand Veronica; in Riverview High they areCathy and Erica.)

“It’s set in anywhere, USA in 1996, andthey are the class of ’96,” said Pember. “Itbegins with Alex asking both girls to theprom and when they find out, they make himchoose.

“There’s lots of singing and dancing … it’sreally an entertaining and fun show with lotsof energy.”

Pember has performed in other Fringe fes-tivals. What he likes about them is that “theFringe Festival takes a lot more chances with

the material, and it really is a celebration ofnew works.”

“We, as a cast, need to be excited aboutthe new work,” he added. “These festivalsaren’t as much about winning, rather it’sabout inviting people to get involved in localtheatre and support it on a very personallevel.”

Since he’s been back in Richmond, the

young actor also took part in a cabaret revueat Langley’s Township 7 Winery.

“We performed for two weekends in arow. There were nine of us, and we all tookturns singing solos,” he said.

He believes Vancouver has a long way togo to match the enthusiasm that New Yorkersfeel about their theatre.

“In New York and even Toronto, theatre

thrives and is really well attended,” saidPember. “It’s vital for Vancouver to supportthe theatre scene.”

He has appeared in many productions inNew York City, including an off-Broadwayproduction, Ghostlight.

“To call my parents and tell them I’mappearing in an Off-Broadway production on42nd street was pretty cool,” he said of thetap dance production.

He also performed his most difficult roleto date, Hamlet, in Nashville, Tennessee.

“That is my biggest and most challengingrole so far,” he said. “It took me half a yearto prepare, so that role holds a strong place inmy heart.”

He studied at the Boston Conservatoryand graduated in 2010 with his bachelor offine arts in musical theatre.

“I call myself an actor first, then singerand dancer, and I continue to train in all dis-ciplines,” he said.

Pember said he misses the buzz and ener-gy of the Big Apple.

“In New York, I audition one to threetimes a day, so you really have to be at thetop of your game all the time,” he said.“Here, because there aren’t that many shows,auditions are few and far between.”

Joining Pember on stage is fellowRichmondite, Ranae Miller. She performs inthe ensemble as Sophie. A graduate of theCapilano University’s Musical Theatre pro-gram, she was honoured with a 2011 OvationAward for the Most Outstanding Newcomer.

Riverview High will make its premiere onThursday, Sept. 6 and runs until Sept. 16 atthe Firehall Arts Centre. For more informa-tion, visit www.riverviewhighthemusical.com.

The countdown to school is on! For most, getting ready to start the schoolyear means buying new clothes and school supplies. While these things areimportant to help kids head back to school in style, they do nothing to helpchildren get better grades or have a successful school year.

This year, children of all ages should go back to school with the ultimateaccessory for the classroom: a brain that is ready to learn! Rather thanwait and see how their children will do this school year, parents shouldprepare them for success from the first day of school (or even before) byimplementing good habits that will last the entire year. These Six Tips ForSchool Success from Oxford Learning can help students of all grades bebetter prepared to learn— and have a more successful school year!

1. Break bad habits. Don’t fall back into old routines and bad habits. Startthis year with a fresh and new positive routine. The earlier you get yourchild on track, the easier it is for him or her to stay on track.

2. Get informed. Develop regular communication with the teacher so thatboth you and your child know what to expect at this grade level. Beinformed of important school dates (big projects, standardized testing)well in advance to avoid last-minute scrambles.

3. Use a family calendar. Manage school, family, and extra curricularactivities with a daily reminder, courtesy of a large wall calendar.

4. Get help. Avoid struggling this year from the get-go by making thedecision to get professional support for children.

5. Don’t wait and see. Parents often wait until the first report card to seehow their child is progressing, but if a child had difficulties last year, gethelp from day one to improve his or her chances for success.

Early preparation is the best way for students to start the new school yearon the right foot. Oxford Learning will help your child get prepared withorganization, confidence, and a plan for success!

Parents can contact Oxford Learning Centre at 604-233-5566 for moreinformation. They can also visit their office at 200 - 7380 Westminster Hwy(near Minoru Blvd) for wonderful tips and programs to help their kidsorganized.

Under new head coach Aaron Wilbur, theRichmond Sockeyes will open their pre-seasonschedule tomorrow night with a road encounteragainst the Aldergrove Kodiaks.

Wilbur takes over one of the powerhousefranchises in the Pacific International JuniorHockey League after Judd Lambert steppeddown following a successful tenure that includ-ed leading Richmond to a league best 37-7-0record last season before bowing out in sixgames to the Delta Ice Hawks in the Tom ShawConference finals.

Lambert wanted to spend more time with hisyoung family.

The Sockeyes are expected to have a num-ber of key players back in uniform includinglocal products Rudi Thorsteinson and JeremyHamaguchi who should be among the league’stop scorers.

After facing the Kodiaks tonight, the sametwo teams will do battle on Saturday (5:15p.m.) at Minoru Arena. Richmond will openthe PIJHL regular season on Thursday, Sept. 13when the Grandview Steelers come to town.

MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS

Richmond Raiders kicked off the Vancouver Mainland Football League regular season by hosting a number ofgames on Monday at Minoru Park. The action included (left) the Bantam Raiders rolling to a 22-7 victory over theCoquitlam Chargers and the Pee Wee Raiders (above) edging the White Rock Titans 6-0.

It’s a good bet the rest of the seasonwon’t get much tougher than Friday nightfor the Hugh Boyd Trojans.

Richmond’s lone high school footballprogram will kickoff the 2012 campaignin Cloverdale by continuing its rivalrywith the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers. Whilethe teams have played some intriguinggames over the years, it’s getting tougherand tougher for the Trojans to keep pace.

Thanks to growing enrollment andbenefitting from the powerful CloverdaleMinor Football Association, the Panthershave been thriving. They now play at the“AAA” level and were listed as an hon-ourable mention in the pre-season provin-cial rankings.

Students are hardly banging down thedoor to play football at Hugh Boyd butthanks to the tireless efforts of longtimecoaches Bill and Bruce Haddow, the pro-gram is alive and well with albeit modest

roster numbers.The Trojans will dress 26 players for

the season opener and hope they canhang tough with Tweedsmuir and pro-duce something similar to last year’s 21-7defeat.

“We probably have bit off more thanwe can chew but this game is part of ourtradition and we wanted to keep the rival-ry going,” said Bill Haddow. “I think it’spretty safe to say it will be our toughestgame of the season.”

The Trojans are coming off a success-ful 2011 campaign that saw them wintheir post-season opener against RobertBateman then hang tough for two quarterwith the third ranked Ballenas Whalersbefore bowing out of the provincial play-offs. They return a handful of key playerswho are ready to take on greater roles.

“We have about five or six kids backwho were solid players for us last year,”continued Haddow, who put his teamthrough two-a-day workouts last week.We also have some junior players who are

capable of playing at senior ball but ourbelief has always been to let them firsthave success at that level and not put ourjunior team in a difficult spot.”

Boyd will be fielding two teams in thefall and trying something different withits Grade 8 program by moving it to thespring. Although it means no longer beingpart of the B.C. High School Footballregular season, it follows a successfulblueprint that was created by North Shoreschools.

“It gives Grade 8 students time to getcomfortable being in a new school beforethey have to consider playing football,”added Haddow. “These kids will benefitfrom going right into spring camp withthe junior team (for the following season).

“It also allows us to better utilize ourresources by having two seasons whichmeans less coaches are needed.”

The Trojans senior team will continueits tradition of Friday night football byplaying its home season opener againstHandsworth on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m.

“We’re very excited to be kick-ing off a new season for the GirlsElite program,” said Jesse Symons,Whitecaps FC women’s and Girls

Elite head coach. “This isa very talented group ofyoung players, so we’rereally looking forward toseeing each of them reachtheir full potential over thecoming months.”
