Newborn found dead in log boom
Police are trying to trace a mother aftera newborn baby was found floating in thenorth arm of the Fraser River on Tuesdaynight.
The body of a newborn baby boy wasdiscovered floating in the Fraser Riverbetween Richmond and Burnaby by a tug-boat crew.
“Our tug was delivering a small tow justupriver of the railroad bridge,” said HarkenTowing manager John Bowles.
“When they arrived there, they found thebody floating in one of the booms that wasalready being stored there.”
The tug crew called in officials, andcalled it a night.
“They’re pretty traumatized,” saidBowles. “They did what they’re supposed to
do - they notified the RCMP, and the CoastGuard.
“They went home early on the nightshift.”
When the tugboat crew first noticed thenewborn’s body around 10 p.m. on Tuesday,they believed it to be a doll.
On Wednesday afternoon, police boatswere scouring the area along the shorelineand near the log booms.
In addition, police parked along theshore on the Richmond side of the northarm of the Fraser River were aiding in theinvestigation, along with the Air One policehelicopter.
RCMP say the baby was found by wit-nesses in the area who, at first glance,believed the infant to be a doll.
Police attended and confirmed the infantwas deceased. The Integrated Homicide
Investigation Team (IHIT) was then calledin and has taken over the investigation.
While the baby appears to be newborn,police are waiting on results of an autopsyto confirm when the child was born, as wellas the race of the baby.
“IHIT are concentrating on finding themother of the baby and ensuring that herhealth and well being have been lookedafter,” said IHIT’s Sgt. Jennifer Pound.
“She may require medical attention andwe are asking she contact investigators at 1877 551 IHIT(4448).”
IHIT are asking for any witnesses whomay know anything to call the IHIT tiplineat 1 877 551 IHIT(4448). Or, if you wishto remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at1 800 222 (TIPS) 8477.

City digs deeperinto smart meters
The City of Richmond wants to dig deep-er into the growing BC Hydro Smart Metercontroversy before it calls for a moratoriumon the wireless devices being installed intopeople’s homes.
A 40-strong delegation of concerned resi-dents descended on city hall Tuesday night tocall on city council to demand a halt to thesmart meter installation until more researchinto the effects is carried out.
Many of them believe the state-of-the-artmeters will, over time, cause health problemsand invade the privacy of the homeowner.
The residents, led by mom-of-oneMichelle Khong, requested the city put pres-sure on the province and BC Hydro to slapa moratorium on the meter installation inRichmond.
City council, however, decided to ask staffto look into the issues first before it officiallyasks the province to stall the smart meterprogram. “The residents who were there were

October 142003 — Chicago Cubs fanSteve Bartman becomesinfamously known as thescapegoat for the Cubs
losing game 6 of theNational Series to the
Florida Marlins.
Dissecting the anatomy of a slateElection candidates align themselves on policy and principle
Whether or not they inspirepraise or profanity, provincialand federal political parties tendto evoke decisive feelings inRichmond voters.
However, many of those samecitizens are at a loss for words whenasked about the three local slatesjostling for ballot supremacy in themunicipal electionscheduled for Nov. 19.
Part of the confu-sion is due to the facta slate is not the samething as a politicalparty — although itcan be.
According to Wikipedia: “A slateis a group of candidates that run inmulti-seat or multi-position elec-tions on a common platform.
“The common platform may bebecause the candidates are all mem-bers of a political party, have thesame or similar policies, or someother reason.”
In Richmond, the RichmondCitizens Association (RCA) and theRichmond First Voters Society eachhave unified policies and a cohesivepolitical platform.
RCA is rooted in the NDP, andtends to take a strong pro-agricul-ture, pro-affordable housing stance.Richmond First positions itself onthe right, standing for low taxes andtaking a more pro-business stance.
The Richmond IndependentTeam of Electors is unique in thatit is less united by policy and moreby principles. In fact, part of whatdefines RITE, according to councilcandidate Carol Day, is a reluctanceto enforce a party line.
Richmond First member Coun.Ken Johnston, standing for re-elec-
tion, said: “Our position is basicallypro-business.”
However, Johnston notes that,while he is in favour of competitiveproperty taxes for companies, he ismindful that businesses tend to bedrawn to a cohesive, vibrant com-munity.
“It’s about the whole package interms of quality of life,that’s what attracts busi-ness,” Johnston said.
The primary politi-cal challenge for stew-arding Richmond intothe future is balancingcontrolled growth
with good financial management,according to Johnston.
Richmond First candidatesinclude Johnston, Derek Dang, BillMcNulty and Linda McPhail.
RITE’s Carol Day, a school trust-ee running for council, describedher slate as a progressive alternativestanding for increased transparencyin government.
Party founder Sandra Bourquewas initially a member of the NewDemocratic Party, but broke offaffiliation after growing disillu-sioned with the leadership of theparty. Bourque and Sue Halsey-Brandt eventually formed RITE asa party solely dedicated to schooltrustee candidates.
“We do not vote as a block,” Daysaid. “I’ve seen too much block-vot-ing by Richmond First.”
Day referred to RITE’s fourcouncil candidates, includingincumbent Sue Halsey-Brandt andschool trustee Chak Kwong Au, andnewcomer Michael Wolfe as free-thinkers.
RITE is also defined by their
stance on cam-paign contributions,according to Day,pointing to the sig-nificant disparity incampaign contribu-tions in the 2008election.
In that election,Richmond Firstreceived $156,102in campaign con-tributions, includ-ing $20,000 fromthe Great CanadianGaming Corporationand $12,500from ProgressiveConstruction Ltd.
RITE receivedan eighth of that,— $18,086, of which$5,000 was donatedby the candidatesthemselves.
RCA received $10,535, of which$5,000 was from the HospitalEmployees Union.
The RCA evolved from the pro-vincial New Democratic Party, butonly retains a loose affiliation withthe party today, according to Coun.Linda Barnes.
The RCA is defined by a com-mitment to environmental issues,food security and affordable hous-ing.
“I spearheaded legalizing sec-ondary suites in Richmond,” Barnessaid. “We need to continue torecruit partners for affordable hous-
ing.”While Barnes and Day agree
community support should precedethe construction of granny flats andcoach homes, Barnes said a moveto affordable housing is inevitable.
“Change is going to happen,”she said, adding that council’s jobis to make sure the transition toincreased density is a smooth one.
RCA is fielding three councilcandidates in the 2011 election,including De Whalen and longtimeincumbent Harold Steves.
Along with slate candidates, sev-eral independents have registered torun in the November election.

NewsJohnston: Moratorium nowfrom all age groups and backgroundsand quite a few with medical concerns,”said Khong, who got involved after sign-ing a petition driven by one of the smartmeter protest groups — Citizens for SafeTechnology.
“A few members of council echoed ourconcerns, which is good, considering thiswhole thing has not been handled in a verydemocratic way.
“This has not been monitored and notbeen scrutinized by a third party.”
Khong, who lives in west Richmond’sSeafair community, said she’s managedthus far to fend off BC Hydro from install-ing the new meter, telling them blanklyover the phone not to bother coming toher house and posting a notice to the sameeffect over her current hydro meter.
“My street does have the meters, butsome of us have refused,” she said.
“I was told that I have no choice andthat they would send out a specialized teamto contact me. But that was a month agoand I haven’t heard anything from them.”
Although municipalities appear not tohave any power over whether the smartmeters can be installed, they can bring pres-sure to bear, Khong said.
“There are 20 other cities in B.C. thathave requested a moratorium be placed onthe installation of the smart meters,” shesaid.
“The cities have no jurisdiction, but theycan represent the people and give them avoice.”
Khong said she’s especially worriedabout the accumulative exposure over timeto the wireless waves emitted from the newmeters on her child.
Coun. Ken Johnston was one of a few
on city council who would’ve been quitehappy to call for a moratorium right off thebat, similar to the one called for last monthby the Union of BC Municipalities at itsannual convention.
“I didn’t have a problem with a morato-rium being called for now, especially sinceit followed on from the UBCM resolution,”Johnston said.
“The moratorium is just that, somethingthat puts the breaks on while we get moreinformation.”
Any moratorium that might be calledwill be too late for Johnston, who camehome about a month ago to find his com-puter and other electrical devices blinkingaway, as if the power had been out.
“These characters (BC Hydro) trumpedin and changed (the meter) over without meknowing,” he said.
“I came back one day and the computerwasn’t working and everything was blink-ing, like after an outage. I didn’t receiveany notification.
“So I do understand the part about intru-sion and it being forced down our throats.”
Among the areas city council asked staffto look into were: the issues raised by thedelegation; get input from the city’s medi-cal health officer; get information on thestatus of smart meters in Richmond; mat-ters of jurisdiction between the various par-ties involved; what the city’s role in grant-ing protections may be, and the associatedcosts.
Staff are expected to report back tocouncil early in November.
Earlier this year, Richmond homes werethe first in B.C. to have the new metersinstalled.
Hydro crews have already installed100,000 smart meters across B.C., sched-uled to rise to 250,000 later this fall.

It’s one thing to give a friend theshirt off your back, quite another to givethem the kidney out of your abdomen— but that’s what Jenny Jarvenpaa aimsto do.
Jarvenpaa, 26, has passed the firstround of tests to see if she may bea suitable donor for her good friendKelsey Jordan, also 26.
Jarvenpaa is currently on her wayto London England, where Jordan nowlives, to do the “cross match test” to seeif her blood is compatible.
“They just mix the blood and if itclots and the blood cells start killingeach other, then we’re not a match.”
However, if the blended bloodbehaves itself, then Jarvenpaa will havepast a significant hurtle towards hand-ing over one of her kidneys to her highschool buddy. The two met in Grade 9at what was then Steveston High.
“Ever since I met Kelsey, this hasbeen in the back of my mind, becausedonated kidneys don’t usually last morethan eight years. Her’s has lasted 22,”said Jarvenpaa. “She doesn’t owe thatkidney anything,” Jarvenpaa added witha laugh.
Jordan was born with end-stagekidney disease and received a donatedkidney at age four.
That kidney served her well untiljust before she got married last October.At that point, she was told she had 18
months before her kidney would giveout and she’d be on dialysis.
Jordan’s family quickly put the wordout to friends and family asking them tothink about donating.
Jarvenpaa was quick to answer thecall. “The success rate from a livingdonor is much higher,” said Jarvenpaa.
Also, Kelsey wouldn’t be put on alist to receive a kidney from a deceaseddonor because she’s still too healthy.
In classic Catch-22 fashion: Thesicker the person is, the greater thechance he/she will receive a kidney, andthe lesser the chance the transplant willbe successful. But while Jarvenpaa wasquick to get tested, she admits she hadconcerns about her own health and whatit would mean to go the rest of her life
with just one kidney.“I work in the health services
(Jarvenpaa is a part-time ambulanceattendant) so I have quite a few resourc-es.”
Still, she said she’d like to talk tosomeone who has gone through the pro-cess as a living donor.
As far as the long-term effect, sheis confident that one kidney can prettywell do the job of two.
“When you lose a kidney theremaining kidney will grow and startto over function. Our bodies are builtto be higher functioning than they needto be.”
In the short-term, there is the surgeryand multiple months of recovery, all tobe done in a foreign country away fromfriends and family.
Apart from the pain and discomfort,there is the cost. Jarvenpaa is paying forthis trip because she and her husbandare going to make a two-week vacationout of it. But if she’s a match, and hasto return in a few months for surgery, itwill get expensive.
Jordan’s family is hosting a fund-raiser, A Kidney for Kelsey, Nov. 4 at7 p.m. at the UBC Boathouse to helpoffset the costs for whoever is willingto donate. It will feature a silent auctionand musical theatre performance.
“It would just be nice if it wasn’tdetrimental to our finances, on top ofeverything else,” said Jarvenpaa. “But,at end of day, cost isn’t going to stopme from donating.”

The case lay cold until 2007 when thefile was reviewed by the unsolved-homicideinvestigation unit.
New witnesses were interviewed, oldwitnesses were re-interviewed and policelaunched a year-long undercover operationagainst James.
At a meeting in Montreal with police pos-ing as members of a criminal organization,James confessed to the murder.
“She killed Gladys Wakabayashi becauseshe had done a little digging and found thatGladys Wakabayashi had been having anaffair with her husband,” said Horneland.
“A few days after learning this, she toldGladys Wakabayashi that she had a gift forher and would like to bring it to her home.”
Horneland said James was “sneaky” andparked her car five blocks away from the vic-tim’s home on Selkirk Street in Vancouver’sposh Shaughnessy neighbourhood, thenwalked down the lanes rather than on thesidewalks to get to the residence.
“She put a necklace, which was the gift,around Mrs. Wakabayashi’s neck and slit herthroat with a boxcutter,” she said.
“You will hear Jean James explain thatGladys Wakabayashi struggled, so she toldGladys that she would call an ambulanceif she would give a truthful account of theaffair.” The prosecutor said the accused hadno intention of calling an ambulance andslashed the victim on the legs because shewanted to get information from her, includinghow long the affair had lasted.
Horneland said the evidence will showthat Wakabayashi had several incise woundsto her arms and her legs, many deep incisewounds to her chest and a massive encirclingwound to her neck.
Court will hear that the slaying was dis-covered after the victim had failed to pick upher then-12-year-old daughter from school,said Horneland.
The daughter phoned her father, whopicked her up and returned to the home,where the victim’s body was discovered inthe master bedroom, she said.
Raj Basra, a lawyer for James, cautionedthe jury to remember the presumption ofinnocence for an accused. He said the centralissue at trial will be the confession’s reli-ability. “Be critical about what you hear andultimately keep an open mind in this case.”
The first witness, Edward Parker, 81, thevictim’s former piano teacher, told the jury hefelt “very apprehensive” when she failed toshow for her regular one-hour lesson.
He said he phoned the Wakabayashi resi-dence but could only get a recorded message.
“I thought that was strange. She was veryprecise about appointments ... I felt there wassomething very serious happening.”
Parker said it wasn’t until the next day thathe was told the “tragic” news.
He described his former pupil as “a verygentle, soft-spoken” woman who didn’t initi-ate conversations.
“She was a little bit shy. We didn’t go forcoffee at all. She had her lesson. It was anhour long and then she’d be on her way.”

A group of street racers who whippedalong Highway 99 last August at speeds upto 200 kilometres an hour have had theirlicences suspended for up to 20 months.
The Superintendent of Motor Vehicleshas ordered the suspension of the licencesof five men, following a large street raceinvolving 13 luxury vehicles, includingFerraris, Maseratis, Mercedes, an AstonMartin, Audis, and Nissan R series worth $2million, on Aug 31.
Information about the suspensions wasin an affidavit attached to a civil forfeitureclaim.
Hong Zhang Ma and Xiao Qiang Zhang,both of Richmond, and John Doe 2, a minorfrom Vancouver, will have their licences sus-pended for 18 months.
Dan Na Zhu, of Richmond, was suspend-ed for 20 months, and Qi Ming Wang for 12months.
The forfeiture claim noted that the driversare likely to use the cars again in the futureto “engage in unlawful acts.”
“The Director [of Civil Forfeiture] says
that the manner in which the high perfor-mance vehicles were operated by the driv-ers . . . was likely to cause serious bodilyharm to motorists using the highway andthus these vehicles constitute instruments ofunlawful activity as that term is defined inthe [Motor Vehicle] Act,” the document said.
Five of their high-end cars - an AstonMartin, a Nissan GTR, a Mercedes SLS andtwo Lamborghinis - could be seized by thedirector of civil forfeiture.
Officers at the time of the incident notedthat none of the drivers was much over 20.Only Ying Chun Wang had a full licence,while Zhang Hong Ma, Xiao Qiang Zhangand John Doe 2 had class “N” learninglicences. Some also had previous drivinginfractions, including street racing.
According to the claim, the drivers met atLansdowne Centre in Richmond on Aug. 31and planned to race to South Surrey by wayof Highway 99.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Do you have an evacuation plan to get your family out ofyour home safely, in the event a fire breaks out?
Do you have a special place picked out – not too far from thehouse, but far enough for assured safety – where everyone willmeet, so you can count fingers and toes and be assured everyoneis accounted for?
Is your home equipped with working smoke alarms, so yourfamily knows when to high-tail it outside to your “safe spot?”
Have you checked the batteries lately? Have you pushed that“test” button, to make sure the alarm really is in working order?
How about a few fire extinguishers in strategic places, espe-cially the kitchen, and probably the garage, for instance? Doyou know that they aren’t past their “best before” date? A fireextinguisher that won’t operate when the chips are down is evenworse than not having one at all.
In any case, the most important thing to do when a firebreaks out in your home is to get out – together.
This week is Fire Prevention Week across Canada. Firstobserved in this country in 1919, it falls early every October,near the anniversary of one of the deadliest and most destructivefires ever in North America – the 1871 Chicago Fire.
But the week is intended to draw attention to a fire that ispotentially even worse than that fire of 140 years ago: the onethat could happen in your own home, and decimate your ownfamily, if you’re not prepared.
In fact, most fire-related injuries and deaths are caused byresidential fires. Getting ready – with a family plan – could be alife-and-death decision.

This week English-speakers around the worldshould mark an importantanniversary. On Oct. 14,1066, a French vikingkilled an English king andaltered the course of ourlanguage forever.
Most of the his-tory nerds know that I’mreferring to the Battle ofHastings, in which Williamthe Conqueror got a bigupgrade from being Dukeof Normandy, in northernFrance, to being king ofEngland. His heirs anddescendents would holdthe throne for hundreds ofyears (although there werenumerous indirect linesof descent and wars overexactly which descendentswere going to be in charge).
William won the battleconclusively, thanks to alucky arrow shot that killedHarold II, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England.
William and his Normanlords and knights spentthe next decade puttingdown revolts and divvy-ing up England amongstthemselves. They broughtin continental feudal-ism wholesale, alongwith French. Or not quiteFrench. Like English,French has gone throughmany changes, and beforethe modern era, it was splitinto many mutually incom-prehensible dialects.
So what Williambrought over was NormanFrench, an old version ofFrench that was influencedby the raiders from what isnow Denmark and Norway.That’s what Norman means,
it’s short for “Norseman”or “Northman,” a viking byanother name.
Then there was the“English” being spoken inEngland, which was a lotcloser to ancient Germandialects. England had beenrepeatedly invaded sincethe Romans left 600 yearsbefore, by Angles andSaxons, Frisians and Jutes,and then more vikings(sensing a theme here?)and each wave altered thelanguage. Each wave alsostarted as the bad guys ofhistory.
Mythic King Arthurfights the Saxon hordes,and then 400 years later,Alfred the Great fights theNorse hordes. Alfred wasKing of Wessex, or King ofthe West Saxons.
After the Norman inva-sion, French was the lan-guage of the court of theking, of the nobles, andof the law. Of course, thiseroded almost immediately.Norman knights marriedAnglo-Saxon women,sometimes the daughtersor widows of men they’dfought at Hastings. Theirchildren grew up speak-ing both Old English andNorman French. Wordsfrom the latter leaked intothe former, even as French
died out. Richard theLionheart died in 1199 andnever even spoke English,but he was one of the lastgeneration of Normannobility to scorn theirnative language.
French has givenEnglish some of its je nesais quoi, adding many newingredients to a languagealready thrown together likea casserole of leftovers.
But consider the alterna-tive to the Saxon-Frenchmashup. Not whetherHarold II had won atHastings – but whetherhe had lost at StamfordBridge.
Days before the Battleof Hastings, Harold IIhad defeated anotherviking invasion (thosepesky vikings!) led by aNorwegian king. It wasbecause of this victory thathis forces were depletedand tired when they foughtthe Normans. If Harold hadlost at Stamford Bridge,the Norwegians might havetaken over. Or Williammight have had to fight theNorwegians, winner takeall. Or the local Saxonsmight have played bothsides against one anotherand re-taken their country.
A stray arrow made thefinal bit of difference whenit struck down Harold. Ifnot for that, English mighthave taken a different turn,and I might have writtenthis in a language a lotcloser to Norwegian thanmodern English.

The Editor,Re: “Densification destroys neighbourhoods: Day,” News,
Sept. 28.I was disappointed to see this headline. In this article, city
council hopeful Carol Day is quoted as taking issue with coachhouses and granny flats on single-family lots. The article impliesthat secondary suites, regardless of type, put pressure on com-munity services such as schools. My experience as a renter isthat this is not the case.
A few years ago, as a young professional, I accepted a trans-fer to a community on the outskirts of Toronto. Knowing that mynew office location might soon be moving, I decided to rent ahome instead of purchasing. As commercial rental units were inshort supply in my community, I chose to rent a basement apart-ment in an older neighbourhood close to my workplace. Thisallowed me to avoid a 30-minute drive to the next closest com-munity.
In Richmond, many homes that were built for large familiesare now housing retired empty nesters. Allowing homeownerswith extra space in their house or yard to build a small rentalunit does not change the character of a neighbourhood, nor doesit put pressure on schools and services. Homeowners are care-ful about whom they select as tenants, and it is rare to see morethan one person in a unit. After all, tenants are sharing a yard, adriveway, and often even a hot water tank with their landlords.Allowing secondary suites is very unlikely to result in a bigincrease in school-aged population. What it can do, however, isease the pressure on the road and bridge systems because peoplecan find more housing options in their chosen neighbourhoods.
Secondary suites within single-family homes have beenallowed in Richmond since 2007, and they provide housingoptions that would otherwise not exist. Coach houses and grannyflats are a new option in a limited number of neighbourhoods. Isincerely hope readers will consider such options with an openmind. Everyone needs a place to live.

The Editor,Re: “Anti-smart meter drive picks
up pace,” News, Oct. 12.I am against the smart meter after
speaking to some concerned parents inthe Burnaby area with these types ofmeters already installed.
The meter is located on the otherside of a wall where the children sleepand it would be very interesting to havesome testing done to see how muchharmful radiation is emanating throughthe wall.
I would like to ask Premier ChristyClark if she has one installed? Is it onthe other side of a bedroom wall whereshe sleeps?
A meter, a fair distance away fromany major living or sleeping areas,may be acceptable. However, we needto measure the electromagnetic fieldsand see how much radiation is emittingfrom these meters and share the “true”results with the public.
Premier Clark doesn’t share the sameconcerns for three possible reasons:the
benefits to BC Hydro have clouded herjudgment, she lacks understanding ofthe potential health risks, or she doesnot care due to where her own meter islocated.
The health of the people is far moreimportant than this replacement.
Patching into the existing phonelines of the home, or even televisioncable may have been a better choice ifthey require monitoring.

Last week, I wrote about the recent Supreme Court of Canada (“SCC”) judgment rendered in the case ofKerr v. Baranow. In the case, Counsel (all matrimonial experts from B.C.) did outstanding work. Propertyremedies for common law spouses who break up are based not on statute law, but rather on Judge made law.The SCC, in a thorough, careful judgment analyzed the Resulting Trust and Unjust Enrichment remedies,and concluded that the Unjust Enrichment remedy is far more appropriate, for common law spouses, thanResulting Trust. But the Court added that this remedy could also be applied in other cases. In other words,the remedy of unjust enrichment can apply in Estate situations. Next week, I will examine arecent B.C. Estate case in which the Court considers the unjust enrichment remedy.

When Richmond’s Jennifer Luce wasdiagnosed with a rare and aggressive formof cancer in 2006, little did she know justhow much her life would change.
The News first met Luce in April 2007.At the time, she was 29 and on the roadto recovery. She had survived a brutalround of chemotherapy and surgery. Herboyfriend had stood by her through whatshe described as: “My crankiness, moodswings, lots of nausea and my beingextremely sick.”
However, Luce didn’t count on the lin-gering health effects, isolation, fear, thecareer uncertainty and financial burdensthat plagued her for a few years afterwards.
She knew she needed help. So, Lucesearched the Internet for other young adultcancer survivors like herself.
“I had a hard time finding supportgroups with people my age,” said the cor-porate assistant in the City of Richmond’sChief Administrative Officer’s office.“The first support group I joined was withwomen in their sixties and they spoke aboutwho died or about their grandchildren … Ididn’t want to think about dying.”
Today, the 34-year-old is celebrating herfifth year cancer free. Luce approachedthe News because she wanted to spread theword that there is help out there for thosewho feel lost and alone.
Luce is an advocate for young adult can-cer survivors; she is a speaker, peer coun-selor, blogger and writer.
She is involved in Young Adult CancerCanada (YACC), and often blogs about thepsychological aspects of cancer survivor-ship on the (http://multimed.current-oncol-ogy.com/patients/?tag=turning-your-life-around).
She recently hosted a YACC event calledGive It or Get It, which invited young adultcancer survivors to see the film 50/50(about a young man diagnosed with a rareform of cancer and his journey with familyand friends).

CommunityJourney: Changed way life, death is viewed
“A discussion was held to talk about theissues we face through our cancer journey,”she said.
She is also in a documentary film (www.wrongwaytohope.com), in which eight cancersurvivors, ranging in ages from 22 to 38,spent a week on a remote river in Oregon.The film documents their personal storieswith cancer and the fears and strugglesthey’ve faced.
“It wasn’t unlike having cancer … youdon’t know what’s up ahead and you don’tknow how rough the rapids are going to be,”said Luce, who will also be attending theYACC Survivor Conference in Ottawa thisNovember.
Luce said her commitment comes fromthe fact that “the young adult population isa forgotten one.” Luce has spoken to manyother young survivors like her and they agreethat young adult cancer survivors are fallingthrough the cracks of a health-care systemintended for older patients.
“Often we are misdiagnosed, as I was ini-tially, because doctors often don’t believe thatwe do get cancer,” said Luce.
Luce was diagnosed with a rare andaggressive form of cancer called endodermalsinus tumor, which started inside her ovary.
“Only two per cent of diagnosed cancersis this one,” said Luce, adding she had anabdominal mass the size of a mango. “I was
studying for my bachelor’s of arts degree soI thought I was eating too much and gainingweight.
“The doctors had no clue where it (thecancer) came from.”
All doctors know for sure is that endoder-mal sinus tumor seems to hit young womenunder the age of 30.
“They suspect it might be occupationalor maybe it’s permanent hair dyes, but I’venever dyed my hair,” she added.
The 1995 graduate of Richmond second-ary said she had no genetic or hereditary dis-position to her cancer. Luce’s cancer journeyhas changed the way she views life and death.
“I am more tolerant, more patient withwhat my body can and can’t do and I’mmuch more positive about life,” she said.“I’ve seen enough death and been at the bed-side of many dying friends and it isn’t scaryto me anymore.”
Janie Brown, the executive director andcounselor of oncology with the CallanishSociety, has worked with people with cancerand their families for more than two decades,including several years at the B.C. CancerAgency as a clinical nurse specialist and forthe last 12 years in her counseling practice.
She agreed that young adult cancer sur-vivors have very specific issues that haven’tbeen particular well addressed in terms ofservices and programs available to them.
“Young adult cancer survivors have verydifferent needs,” said Brown. “They often
feel isolated because many of their peers,friends and co-workers either don’t knowwhat to say to them or how to help them.
“Other huge issues for young cancer sur-vivors are infertility and financial.”
Callanish Society offers monthly supportmeetings, one-on-one support as well as sup-port either by phone, Facebook or email.
“I see how helpful our monthly supportgroups are because there is a connectionbetween them and a level of understandingthat is so much deeper,” said Brown.
Meanwhile, Luce smiled as she said hergoodbyes, adding she has a lot to celebratetoday. She is in love (two years and going
strong), and enjoying life.“There is help out there, people just need
to know how to access it,” she added.Websites for young cancer patients:

Metro Vancouver’s housing startsare on the upswing, rising to 1,783 inSeptember over 1,644 in the same monthlast year, with most activity in the multi-family category, according to CanadaMortgage and Housing Corp.
Year-to-date, the numbers were evenstronger, with the multi-family sector see-ing a 39 per cent increase in starts fromJanuary to September compared to thesame period in 2010.
The reason for the multifamily
strength, according to CMHC’s seniormarket analyst for Metro Vancouver,Robyn Adamache, is two-fold: build-ers are increasingly confident taking onlarger multi-family projects, and buyersare skeptical of higher-priced detachedhomes because they want to avoid theHST threshold of $525,000.
“On the single-family side, we’re see-ing a decline this year,” Adamache said inan interview after the report was releasedTuesday. “We think people interested in asingle detached home are putting off thedecision until the HST tax ramifications

NewsRichmond: Construction hot spot
are sorted out.“When the economic
recovery was fragile, build-ers were more comfortabledoing single-family startsrather than a large project.It was a more incremen-tal way of getting out ofthe recession. Since therecovery has taken a betterfoothold, we’re seeing themulti-family side pick upagain.”
Construction hot spotsyear-to-date comparedto 2010 included NorthVancouver, Richmond andthe Tri-Cities area.
According to CMHC,while the total number ofstarts in Metro Vancouverrose eight per cent fromAugust to September to1,783, they were up 19per cent year-to-date from11,137 to 13,260.
Year-to-date, multipleswere in a much strongercategory, rising 39 per centfrom January to Septemberto 10,516, from 7,541 inthe same period in 2010.
Single-detached startsfell 24 per cent over thesame period, from 3,596 to2,744.
Adamache - who notedthat apartment starts wereconcentrated in the cit-ies of Vancouver andRichmond, while Surreyled the way in less densehousing types includingsingle-detached and town-house starts - said multi-unit construction has beentrending higher since 2010after declining sharplyfrom 2008 to 2009.
She also said, “TheCity of Vancouver had thesecond-highest number ofsingle-family home startsin the region, most ofwhich were replacementhousing.”
Greater VancouverHome Builders’Association president andCEO Peter Simpson agreedin an interview that hous-ing starts - particularly on
the multi-family side - arelooking up.
“In 2009, we endedthe year with 8,339 [total]housing starts. Last year, itwas improved to 15,217 forthe entire year. This year,so far, we’re at 13,260.That’s not bad. The fore-cast for the year is about16,300.”
However, Simpson said,the “fly in the ointment”
is buyers avoiding higher-priced homes - particularlymore expensive single-detached homes - untilthey get more clarity onthe HST.
Simpson said builderswould like the governmentto remove the provincialportion of the HST to alevel that neutralizes thetax’s effect, or reduce theproperty-transfer tax on
new homes to soften theHST’s effect.
In B.C., September’sseasonally adjusted annualrate of urban housing startsmoved higher to 27,400units from 23,100 units inthe previous month.
The number of starts inB.C. urban areas increasedto 2,399 in Septemberfrom 2,305 in September2010.

The biggest challengewith the TSX has alwaysbeen determining its com-
petition. Sold in NorthAmerica as an Acura, it’sknown elsewhere as theHonda Accord (while ourAccord is called the HondaInspire in Japan). Adding
to the confusion, the TSXserves as Acura’s entry-level vehicle in the US, butcedes that role to the CSXsedan in Canada
Then there’s the price—
starting just under $32k, theTSX has very few luxurycounterparts beyond theLexus IS and VolkswagenCC (both hovering around$33k). However, that same$32k can get you a well-equipped Ford Fusion,Hyundai Sonata, Mazda6,or Toyota Camry. As aresult, the TSX finds itselfsquarely in a market thatperhaps allows it to have aunique position.
So, the best thing youcan do with the TSX is,quite simply, to not worryabout the comparisons.That’s a challenge in theauto industry—where suc-cess is often a relativemeasure—but when youput such concerns asidethe TSX makes a lot ofsense. It’s a high-end familysedan, a value-priced luxurysedan, and a sports sedan,all in one. It’s not an obvi-ous choice in any definedmarket segment, becauseit crosses over so many ofthem. And in doing so, itsets itself up as a sedancapable of appealing to avery wide audience.
In this way, the TSXembodies Acura’s desire tomake luxury vehicles moreaccessible to a larger con-sumer base. You could saythe same thing about theflagship RL sedan—in bothcases, you’re getting a lot ofbang for your buck and anextremely rewarding owner-ship experience.
The only area in whichthe TSX lacks is one whereits higher-end siblingsexcel: technology. Acura’sSuper-Handling All-WheelDrive is considered one ofthe best drivetrains you canget, and six-speed automat-ics are now the standard inmany new cars these days.Unfortunately, neither of
these things can be found inthe TSX.
Having said that, theTSX is one of the best val-ued sports luxury sedan inthe market.
DesignThe TSX has a lean and
athletic profile, with hardcreases and a balanced,purposeful stance. It’s nota striking car, edging moretoward the conservative sideof the design spectrum, buthas a pleasing shape thatgives it a broad appeal.
Styling changes for 2011include a simpler frontgrille, updated fog-lampenclosures, and revisedtaillights. The changesare minimal, tweaking anexterior that already lookspretty good.
When it comes to inte-riors, Acura and Audi leadthe pack. The TSX’s cabinis easily one of the best onthe market, with sweepingcurves and a nicely inte-grated LCD screen. The lipat the top of the dashboardis a particularly nice touch,shading the LCD and pro-viding an elegant finish.
Materials and buildquality are well above aver-age, serving as a constantreminder that the inex-pensive TSX is more of aluxury sedan than a familysedan. Notable is the slight-ly rough-textured plastic ofthe dashboard, which feelsgood to the touch and givesgreat tactile feedback.
PerformanceA 2.4L inline-four pro-
ducing 201-hp and 172 lb-ftof torque is the base engine,upgradeable with a 3.5LV6 generating 280-hp and252 lb-ft of torque. Both

TSX: A joy every time you get behind wheelengines have been refinedfor 2011, reducing frictionto improve fuel efficiency.The four-cylinder is a fan-tastic engine, respondinginstantly and with author-
ity, while the powerful V6turns the Acura into a cred-ible sports sedan.
The downside of theV6 is that it’s only avail-able with a five-speedautomatic. It’s a solid and
quick-shifting transmission,but is short on gears nextto the six, seven, and eightspeeds found in other man-ufacturers’ automatics. Anoptional six-speed manualbrings more excitement tothe inline-four, but gives upsome fuel efficiency.
While many driversbelieve that a sports sedanhas to come with rear- orall-wheel drive, Acuracontinues to challenge the
doubters with the TSX.It’s no longer a surprisethat the TSX’s handlingis excellent, and even stillthe car remains a joy everytime you get behind thewheel.
While the TSX is clearlybalanced more toward per-formance than comfort, ithas an excellent balance ofboth luxury comfort andsportiness. PHOTO SUBMITTED

Seats: Too flat at bottom for supportEnvironment
The TSX is very quieton both city streets and thehighway thanks to a new,acoustic-glass windshield,thicker windows, and othersound-deadening improve-ments.
Engine noise comesthrough under hard accel-eration, but for the mostpart the car feels andsounds very relaxed.
The front bucket seatsare comfortable and well-bolstered at the sides, but
a bit too flat at the bottomto provide sufficient sup-port.
Deeper cushions wouldbe a definite improvementin both the front and rear.
Controls are logicallyplaced on the dashboardand are spread out so thatthey’re easy to find with-out having to reach aroundtoo much.
The LCD screen isplaced high at the front ofthe dash, where it’s alwaysin view, and the chrono-graph-like speedometerand tachometer are easy to
read in addition to lookinggreat.
Thumbs upBeautiful interior;
excellent all-round perfor-mance; fantastic price.
Thumbs downIt doesn’t quite know
where to fit in the marketsometimes.
The bottom lineA great sedan with
great attributes.

It appears that Gilmore Gardens SeniorsResidence is home to more than one“unsung hero.”
According to Anne MacLennan, lifeenrichment manager at Gilmore Gardens,there are more than 65 volunteers who
spend countless hours making the lives ofseniors a little brighter.
Richmond’s Dorothy Dawson is one ofthose volunteers. MacLennan describedthe petite piano player like this: “She iskind, talented, gracious, generous, comicaland very much appreciated in the GilmoreGardens community.”
It doesn’t take long for a crowd of admir-
ers to gather around Dawson as she sits atthe piano for an impromptu mini-concert.
Elsie, 99, comes right up to Dawson andtells her she loves hearing her play.
Then, there’s theever-so-charming NormLewis, 87, and his buddyCharles Holden, 93, bothof whom were quick toadd how much they admireDawson’s piano playingskills.
With a twinkle in hiseyes, Lewis goes on to say: “Dorothy alsohas a lovely voice, you know.”
To which Holden added: “She’s not onlybeautiful, she has a great voice.”
After a short concert, Dawson’s fansapplaud loudly.
For more than a dozen years now,Dawson has been coming to Gilmore
Gardens to play the piano for an hour ormore; whether it’s for a Sunday hymn sing-along, a birthday party or special welcometea.
“It’s such a great placehere and I’ve come toknow so many of theresidents,” said Dawson,who got involved throughher church, Gilmore ParkUnited Church. “Afterplaying and singing, wego for a social time and
talk about whatever they want to talk about.”In fact, it’s through the church that
Dawson initially got involved in volunteer-ing. Years ago, when the residence was in itsplanning stages, Dawson was on the churchcommittee involved in getting GilmoreGardens built.
Volunteer puts in hours to brighten up seniors’ livesLOCAL HERO
“Dorothy also hasa lovely voice, you
know.”— Norm Lewis

“I’ve been a member of my church for50 years,” said Dawson. “I got to know themanager of the seniors residence when itopened 12 years ago and I asked if I couldvolunteer.”
Not only does she play, Dawson alsoserves food and beverages during partiesand special celebrations. Besides that, sheloves to get her hands in the dirt for theannual spring planting. Dawson shruggedoff the notion she’s doing anything special.
Volunteering has been a way of lifefor the widow for decades. For 16 years,Dawson has also comforted dying patientsand their families in hospice care atRichmond Hospital.
When asked why she chose to vol-unteer in a hospice, Dawson said: “Myparents died suddenly in England and Iwasn’t there, so I vowed I would be therefor someone else’s mother or father.”
Dawson credits her parents for herhumanitarian ways.

In our last column,Eileen, a seasoned visitor,gave us some mighty finetips on how to spend timewith our elderly relatives,friends and loved ones.
Here she goes againwith more of her secrets.(Again, please note, thisinformation in not dealingwith those with dementia.)
The last time we spokewith Eileen she told usshe had been reading theresearch literature and itsounded to her like shecould have written muchof it herself.
All her ideas had beentested and they work.
Eileen calls themsecrets to successful visit-ing.
1. Location: Thinkabout where to spend time
together. If your loved onelives in a nursing homeor senior’s residence youmight visit in their roomor suite or the lounge, gar-den, solarium or sundeck.
Or in the car or in yourhome, or a restaurant.
Try them all if possible.Go for a ride, go to
the park, have a picniclunch on the nursing homegrounds.
This variety canimprove your chances ofenjoying your time togeth-er. For many older people,a change is better than arest.
2. What to take: Manypeople say it’s not neces-sary to take anything buta pleasant smile and your-self.
But think about it.
Many of you visit regu-larly and have done so foryears.
We think it makes fora nice visit to have some-thing “up your sleeve.”A snap shot of a recenttrip or old snaps of pleas-ant memories, a piece ofartwork from the great-grand children, a clump ofcolourful leaves, the firstblossom in your garden, ahomemade cookie.
Keep a box at homeand put things in it to takewhen you visit.
It doesn’t take muchtime and most often is anice way to start a conver-sation.
Taking a special some-thing can help maintainor develop new interests.But as we all know, thebest gift is your cheerfulcompany.
The only kind of giv-ing you can omit is givingadvice.
3. Taking leave: Attimes it’s hard to wind up
Arrive with more than a smileSENIORS

CommunityHand: Give it a squeezea visit. When you think thismight happen, tell your rel-ative you have half an hourtoday and stick to it. Tellthem when you will seethem again and don’t makepromises unless you knowyou can keep them.It is distressing to an elder-ly person to hear thingslike “as soon as we get anice sunny day I’ll take youout for a drive through thepark.”
We live in the rain. It’slovely and fresh, makesflowers bloom and bushessmell good.
If it is comfortable foryou and your relative, yourlast gesture before youwalk out could be a car-ing touch, a squeeze of thehand or a big hug. “Seeyou Thursday afternoon,
Mom, at three.”4. What to do after a dif-
ficult visit: Visiting weekafter week can be depress-ing and let’s face it, forsome, it’s a real chore.
It is important to lookafter yourself, particularlywhen you have a disturbingor frustrating time whilevisiting.
Have a plan in mind forthese days. Coffee witha friend, a little shoppingspree, a walk in the park.Or anything that will makeyou feel better.
We asked Eileen if shehad any other tips that real-ly worked for her and madethe time she spent with hermother more satisfying andhappy.
She said “I have manymore secrets and I’ll beglad to share them.” So staytuned.

The following week, they won5-0 over the Cowichan Piggies
Rugby Club on Vancouver Island.The hard work and dedication bythe players has delighted coachKim Stockman.
“The girls are very enthusi-astic and, for a new team, arecoming together strongly, playingwell against a relatively cohesive
opponent [United RFC] for theirfirst game.”
Richmond did have the advan-tage in terms of both possessionand territory for the majority ofthe game.
Stockman’s work as headcoach has been aided by Joe
Dimayuga and Josh Poehlke.The girls will host their first

SportsLim’s timely goals earn herplayer of the week honours
Taryn Lim has been named CanadaWest Female Athlete of the Weekafter leading the seventh ranked UBCThunderbirds women’s soccerteam to a pair of victories.
The Langara College transferscored in the 14th minute ofplay as UBC defeated FraserValley 3-0.
Two days later, she also slot-ted the game winner in a 1-0triumph over Victoria.
Just before halftime, Limknocked a low shot back acrossthe goal through a forest of legsand into the net.
Her performance came aweek after another Richmondplayer in the UBC line-up, NatalieHirayama, had also scored twice.
“To have Natalie kick in a couple lastweek and now Taryn too, that’s fantas-tic,” said UBC head coach Mark Rogers.
“Taryn does so much unselfish work forus to create space, so it’s great to see herget a bit of a reward for that as well.”
The local contingent in theUBC line-up also featuresSydney Morrison who is a keymember of the team’s stellarbackline.
“Obviously (goalkeeper) Ally(Williamson) has come in anddone very well in goal, but thefoundation of our success hasbeen a year and a half work-ing on defensive shape,” addedRogers. “We’ve kept eight outof nine clean sheets - how can Icriticize? I have to tip my hat tomy defence.”
The two wins for UBC (7-1-1) sets upa battle for first place in the Canada Weston Saturday as the T-Birds hosts first-place and fourth ranked Trinity Western(8-1-0), winner of eight straight games.

It proved to be a productive tournamentfor Samantha Holmes McLuskie at the U18National Club Soccer Championships inFredericton, NB.
The Grade 12 McNair secondarystudent, who plays for Cliff Avenue FCSynergy, scored four goals in her team’sfinal game against Nova Scotia. The per-
formance gave her seven in total, enoughto earn her the Golden Boot Award as thetournament’s top scorer.
Cliff Avenue finished fifth, despite drop-ping just one game. The Burnaby squadearned the trip to the Maritimes by win-ning the Coastal “A” Cup last spring, thencapturing the Provincial “A” Cup in July.
