SAINT JOHN, N.B. A New Brunswick boy in palliative care is about to have his dream come true with a personalized parade on Saturday. More than 100 vehicles are set for the drive-by display of love and support for the five-year-old and his family. James Taylor is a five-year-old boy with a love of cars and trucks and a wish to have a parade of vehicles with everything from fire trucks to antique cars, drive by him in the hospital. James came to us quite suddenly, said Kristin McCurdy, the New Brunswick provincial director of the Children s Wish Foundation. He was in the IWK health care facility in Nova Scotia and his physician had referred him to us when he was placed into palliative care.

Hillary Hooper was so desperate to find help for her depression last September that she took her boyfriend s gun in the middle of the night, drove to the local high school, cut both of her wrists and called 911.
The 27-year-old resident of St. George, N.B., said she had a gun and wanted to kill herself. She pleaded for help.
Leaving the gun inside the vehicle, she stood outside, waiting for the RCMP to arrive. Blood dripped down her forearms as she raised her hands in the air in front of the officers who responded with their guns drawn.
