After months of stealingchildren’s hard-earnedsavings. the notorious“Piggy Bank Burglar” has

allegedly been arrested by police.In recent months, a rash of

break-and-enters around SardisPark led residents to nickname the

thief who was ripping off their kids’money. But police say local chil-dren can sleep easier at night afterneighbours helped catch a manallegedly trying to break into a Sil-ver Avenue home on Thursday.

Police say they were calledabout a break-and-enter in prog-ress Thursday morning and, afterneighbours described the sus-pect, a man was spotted runningthrough backyards. While police

set up a perimeter, local residentsupdated officers on the man’slocation and the Mounties CrimeReduction Unit swooped in tomake the arrest.

Soon after, a second break-and-

enter was detected on nearby Brit-ton Avenue. Two children’s piggybanks were stolen. Police allege thatthe suspect’s footprints found atthe Britton Avenue home matchedthose found at the Silver Avenuebreak-in, and at other residencesthat have been subject to break-and-enters over recent months.

Cops nab ‘Piggy Bank Burglar’

Centre fundsmay be lostdue to delayBY TYLER [email protected]

Coun. Diane Janzen says she is optimisticthat a health contact centre for home-less, addicted and mentally ill men and

women will finally be built, despite worries thata $3 million grant from the province and B.C.Housing may disappear.

Last week mayor Sharon Gaetz told theTimesthat she hoped a recent report on the highnumber of break-and-enters that afflicts Chilli-wack would put a long talked about facility forthose in need of help back on the province’sradar.

“We’re working together with the province,trying to get funding, and maybe this will be animpetus, a little bit of a push, for them to seethat these issues don’t only happen in the bigcities,” Gaetz told the Times. “They happen insmall communities as well and Chilliwack maybe one of those communities that really, reallydoes need help in that area.”

But according to Chilliwack MLA John Les,the province, through Crown corporation B.C.Housing, promised the city $3 million in Augustto use towards buying and renovating a prop-erty to provide housing and “wrap-around”services.

Les said that it was assumed that an offerwould be immediately made on the Traders Innproperty onYale Road. But according to Janzen,

Tired of the MS Society’s wait-and-see approach to the Liberation Treatment,Monica Braun decided to have the procedure done in Germany.

This is part one in a two-partseries looking at the controversialLiberation Treatment for multiplesclerosis and the experiences of twoChilliwack residents.Part one tells thestory of Monica Braun, who receivedthe treatment this summer. Part twowill tell the story of Jeff Donegan, whois currently fundraising to pay for thetreatment.

BY PAUL J. [email protected]

Mo n i c a B r a u n w a l k sdown the street with asmooth and steady gaitthat looks as normal as

anyone.But not for long; the fatigue and

numbness brought on by Braun’smultiple sclerosis (MS) quickly takesover and robs her of that freedom ofmovement. After a while her left legwill be overcome with a conditionknown as “foot drop” and her rightleg will start to drag.

“I used to be able to run fivekilometres and do it on a dailybasis,” she said. “Just this past year,I ’m lucky if I canwalk 500 metres. . . .If I don’t watch whereI ’m g o i n g I s t a r twandering and looklike I’m drunk.”

B r a u n w a sd i a g n o s e d w i t hrelapsing-remittingMS seven years ago,w h i c h m e a n s h e rsymptoms come andgo. Those symptoms include chronicfatigue, bladder issues, spasticityin her legs and varying degrees ofnumbness over three-quarters of herbody, particularly her hands and feet.

In November 2009, Braun firstheard about the controversialtreatment designed by Italiansurgeon Dr. Paolo Zamboni knownas chronic cerebrospinal venousinsufficiency (CCSVI) or LiberationTreatment.

She closely watched the mediacoverage and online discussionabout the treatment, always with a

desperate hope that the Canadianhealth care system would make itavailable.

Braun would have happily paidthousands of dollars out of her ownpocket to a local doctor or a clinicfor treatment she had decided shewanted. But the government and themedical community has firmly said“No.”

“This is the thing that peeves meright now,” she said. “The Canadiangovernment won’t let me spend mymoney in Canada to have it done.”

While the Canadian Institutes ofHealth Research and the MS Societyhave taken what she calls a “wait-and-see approach” to the treatment,Braun didn’t want to wait for atreatment that she hoped could haltthe progression of her symptoms.

She first tried a Polish clinic andwas put on a two-year waitinglist. Then she found a location inGermany, where she was planninga trip anyway. So Braun contacteda doctor in June and was offered adate for the CCSVI surgery that samemonth.

The idea behind the treatmenti s t h a t s o m e M Spatients have narrowb l o o d v e s s e l s o rstenosis.The theory isthat routine balloonangioplasty can helpopen up the bloodv e s s e l s , i n c re a s eblood flow and relievethe symptoms of MS,long believed to beonly a neurological

condition.The topic is an emotional and

controversial one for those on thefront lines of MS. Many neurologistshave dismissed the treatmentoutright and few studies are underway. When contacted by the Timesto discuss the topic, a representativefor the MS Society became defensivebefore any questions were asked.

“The stories that have beenp u b l i s h e d h a v e b e e n p r e t t yunbalanced,” said Suzanne Jay, aspokesperson for the BC/Yukondivision of the MS Society. “You don’t

have all the different sides. . . . It’sgreat that people know more aboutMS and it’s more in the public eyebut I’d like to be able to direct somemore attention to the other workthat the society is doing and otherissue that people are facing.”

On Aug. 26, the Canadian Institutesof Health Research (CIHR) conveneda meeting of leading MS experts incollaboration with the MS Society.Instead of pushing for studies, theCIHR showed its skepticism of theconnection between blood flow andMS and recommended baby stepsforward, which frustrates patientswhose daily lives depend on thehope of relief.

The federal government, followingCIHR’s lead, seems to have taken asimilar position.

In a press release issued after theAug. 26 meeting, CIHR presidentDr. Alain Beaudet recommended a“scientific expert working group”

be created to look at studies and,depending on the conclusions,recommend further studies.

“There was unanimous agreementfrom the scientific experts thatit is premature to support pan-Canadian clinical trials on theproposed ‘Liberation Procedure,’”said Beaudet in the release. “Thereis an overwhelming lack of scientificevidence on the safety and efficacyof the procedure, or even that thereis any link between blocked veinsand MS.”

In other words, later this year theywill get some experts together tolook at studies that have been doneto see if any more studying shouldbe done.

This isn’t good enough for Braunand hundreds of other MS sufferershearing positive things from patientswho have received CCSVI.

“The Canadiangovernment won’tlet me spend mymoney in Canadato have it done.”

The Chilliwack school district is pittingschool against school in a bid to reduceits carbon footprint.

Under the B.C. government’s 2007 Green-house Gas Reductions Target Act, 2010 is theyear school districts provincewide are requiredto become carbon neutral.

Those that don’t get their act together willhave to pay more for extra greenhouse gasemissions by buying carbon offsets startingnext year.

In Chilliwack, secretary treasurer Ray Vele-stuk estimates that bill will come to about$50,000.

To get that cost down and to live up to itscommitment as a signatory of B.C.’s Clima-te Action Charter, the district has devised an“energy challenge” for schools.

From January through March, schools willget a chance to earn more than $2,000 in cashincentives for turning off lights, shutting downcomputer screens, using less paper, turningdown thermostats and anything else they canthink of to save energy.

“We’re going to ask schools to reduce ener-gy as much as they can, in whatever areas theycan,” saidVelestuk.

Schools that cut down their energy use bybetween five and 10 per cent will get $1,000.

Those that achieve energy savings between 11and 16 per cent will get $1,500 and those thatmanage savings of more than 17 per cent willnet $2,000.

“Although we’re saving money on the oneside by reducing our energy, we’re going to giveit right back to the schools to spend on resour-ces,” said Velestuk. “Because we have a surplusin our budget, we don’t need to create moresurplus. We need to reduce our carbon foot-print.”

There is even a prize for most improved.At each level—elementary, middle and

secondary—the school that shows the greatestpercentage shift in energy use will win a $500grant for an eco-themed class field trip, likeScience World, the Ruskin Dam or the Britta-nia Mining Museum.

The energy challenge is one of several recentinitiatives aimed at shrinking the district’s car-bon footprint.

Besides upgrading lights and installing newhigh-efficiency or electronic ignition furnaces,the district has also installed real-time powermonitoring hardware and software at 10 sitesto give schools more immediate access toinformation about their energy usage.

The district’s Green Team is also working toget Green Teams (a teacher/energy championand a group of interested students, parentsand staff) established at each school to helpthe school become more energy aware andefficient.

“We need to start to change behaviours,”saidVelestuk.

◗ More information about the energy chal-lenge will soon be up on the School DistrictNo. 33 website at www.sd33.bc.ca.

At last Tuesday’s school board meeting, secretarytreasurer Ray Velestuk unveiled plans for a district-wide “energy challenge” for schools. From Januarythrough March, schools will have a chance to earn

more than $2,000 by reducing their energy use.The Times asked students at Chilliwack secondaryschool what they thought their school could do toshrink its carbon footprint.

The provincial government’s proposedsolution to gravel pit conflicts in the Fra-ser Valley Regional District was panned

by critics at a public meeting held in Chilli-wack last week.

The Aggregate Pilot Project (APP) was initi-ated by the Minister of State for Mines in 2004in response to “intense conflicts surroundingaggregate operations” in the region. But oppo-nents of a gravel mine in the Chilliwack RiverValley that was recently giv-en the green light by MinesMinister Randy Hawes saythe APP is seriously flawed.

Part of the purpose of theAPP is to implement a“red-yellow-green” approach topermit aggregate opera-tions. The regional districtis currently holding pub-lic information meetingsto gain input on the plan.They met in Deroche onOct. 7, Chilliwack on Oct.14 and have meetingsplanned in Mission on Oct.20 and Hope on Oct. 27.

At the Oct. 14 meeting, virtually everyonewho spoke did so in opposition to the APP.

Glen Thompson has been on the forefrontof the fight against Southview Sorting ownerBrent Tolmie’s gravel pit approved at a locationnear Larson’s Bench in the river valley.

“Pretty much everybody was opposed to it

except one of the guys on the committee whois a gravel developer and another guy said hethinks it is a clean form of mining,” Thompsonsaid.

Another flaw in the APP, according toThompson, is that areas deemed red are most-ly in residential areas where no mining wouldever happen anyway. Many areas deemed yel-low or green are further up the valley from resi-dential areas so those who live there would stillsuffer the effects of gravel trucks on ChilliwackLake Road.

“We don’t see any advantage to the people,”he said.

But Area E director DaveLamson, who lives in thevalley himself, said he isaware of the frustrationsome people have, but stillsupports the APP as a wayto improve things.

“I don’t see that there aremany other options if wewish to see things change,”he said.

The Larson’s Benchmine was given provincialgovernment approval butThompson has appealedthat decision. And while

Lamson and Thompson may disagree on theAPP, Lamson hopes the appeal is successful ashe said the Southview mine should not havebeen approved.

While the APP is not yet in place, Tolmie’soperation is in an area that would be labelled“red” in the proposed plan.

The theft of children’s piggy banks from theBritton Avenue home was not an isolated inci-dent, according to RCMP spokesperson Const.TracyWolbeck.

“It has been a typical M.O. of [the suspect]to take piggy banks,” Wolbeck alleged. Shesaid police believe that the man was targetinga piggy bank of the Silver Avenue home whenhe was spotted. “There’s something particu-larly violating about targeting something thatbelongs to a child.”

Wolbeck couldn’t say if piggy banks are oftentargeted by thieves, but she did note that theyare fairly obvious sources of money.

“When you see a piggy bank, you knowthere’s money in it. You don’t have to spend alot of time in a house, scouring for money.”

With a report last week proclaiming Chilli-wack to have the highest break-and-enter ratein the country, the arrest of the alleged “PiggyBank Burglar” comes at a good time, accord-ing to police.

“This was a really good catch for us,” saidWolbeck. “Hopefully with this arrest, thebreak-and-enters in that area will be signifi-cantly reduced.”

However, she cautioned that residents

should still take caution to protect their homesand belongings.

Jeremy Harris, 35, of Chilliwack, has beencharged with six separate counts of break andenter. In all six, police allege piggy banks weretargeted.

But Harris is not the only one facing break-and-enter charges this week.

A 62-year-old man was arrested late Fridaynight after police they found him inside a Mer-ritt Drive home.

Mounties say a neighbour spotted a flashlight in a backyard and a man climbing a lad-der at the back of a home.

Police arrived to find the ladder in place andthe man allegedly inside holding a bag con-taining jewelry and change.

The man, who has not yet been named, hasbeen held in custody and was slated to appearin provincial court Monday to face charges.

Police say both men arrested in connectionwith the break-and-enters are known to them.

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlopcredits the public’s help, along with frequentpatrols of hot spots, for helping arrest the sus-pects.

Fraser Health will wait for a B.C.Supreme Court judge’s decision onwhether the former operator of a

Chilliwack raw milk dairy is in contempt ofcourt before the public health body tries toshut down the new incarnation of the dairy.

Alice Jongerden appeared in New West-minster on Thursday toanswer to the civil con-tempt of court charge.

Fraser Health has beentrying for several yearsto shut down Jongerden’sHome on the Range Dairy,which distributed rawmilk to about 450 people.

In March, an injunctionwas issued to stop the flow of raw milk, butthe milk continued to be distributed withthe label “Not for Human Consumption.”

That label proves to be the crux of thejudge’s decision, according to Fraser Healthspokesperson Roy Thorpe.

“In our mind the intent was still to dis-tribute for human consumption,” he toldthe Times Monday.

According to an affidavit filed in court andsigned by George Rice, manager of environ-mental health for Fraser Health, Jongerdenis “on a campaign of public defiance in

support of the production of raw milk forhuman consumption.”

Jongerden was forced to resign from thedairy because of the contempt charge, butraw milk advocate Michael Schmidt fromOntario has stepped in to take over thedairy, which has been renamed Our Milk.

After the Oct. 14 court appearance, Jong-erden, Schmidt and their supporters passedaround and drank from bottles of milk out-side the court.

On Sept. 28, the two drank milk in front ofChilliwack’s Fraser Health offices in a simi-lar stunt. No one at the Fraser Health officereacted and Thorpe said they recognizedthat move as “a political-style demonstrationand Schmidt has a right to his viewpoint.”

In Ontario, Schmidt was charged with19 counts related to his distribution of rawmilk from his farm in a cowshare similar toHome on the Range. He beat all 19 chargesin an Ontario court last year.

In the original injunction against Jong-erden from March, Justice Miriam Gropperfound Home on the Range to be similar toSchmidt’s cowshare. Gropper noted theOntario Milk Act is not similar to the B.C.Public Health Act and she declined to use itas a precedent.

Thorpe said that Fraser Health is sim-ply enforcing the Public Health Act whichdefines unpasteurized milk as a health haz-ard, and will wait for Gropper’s decision tofile another injunction against Our Milk.

Gropper will deliver her decision at a laterdate that has not yet been set.

of timing. Even the most sensibleand thoughtful initiative canbe disastrous if instituted at thewrong time and under the wrongconditions. Consider the recent-ly announced penalties regard-ing drinking and driving.

Supporters of the new rulesare adamant that anything thatreduces the number of impaired,even marginally impaired, driversis good public policy. Opponentsare concerned about the erosionof civil liberties and the impacton due process and the pre-sumption of innocence. A recentcolumn on the issue generated aconsiderable number of piecesof correspondence, with abouttwice as many opposing the pen-alties as supporting them.

One theme that was repeatedoften in these e-mails is a lack oftrust in the police to use thesenew powers in a professionalmanner. Readers made refer-ence to the number of officersinvolved in scandalous behav-iour in recent times and werequite clear they simply don’ttrust the police.

It causes one to wonder ifthere would have been the samebacklash were these penaltiesintroduced 10 years ago. Untilquite recently, police across the

country had unwavering levels ofpublic support. But over the lastseveral years, this has taken asubstantial hit. The public’s con-fidence in the police has beenchallenged numerous times butthe Robert Dziekanski incidentat the Vancouver Airport deliv-ered the most damning blow.

The questionable use of theTaser that led to his death is onething. More damaging thoughwas the finding of the publicinquiry that the police engagedin “shameful conduct” and made“deliberate misrepresentations.”Any reasonable person who fol-lowed the proceedings couldonly conclude that the officersinvolved lied their butts off.

This is what has many peoplelegitimately concerned about thenew drinking and driving penal-ties. Unlike a criminal charge,the police won’t have to demon-strate they followed the rules andthey won’t have their version ofthe chain of events subjected toscrutiny and cross-examinationin court. A decade ago the public

might have been OK with givingsuch discretionary powers to thepolice. It appears that’s no longerthe case.

This sad reality isn’t simply afunction of the proverbial fewbad apples. It’s well known thatpolice agencies are not beingflooded with the same numberof outstanding applicants as theyonce were. Many police forcesare reluctantly hiring peoplewho, 10 years ago, would havebeen screened out in the earlystages of the application pro-cess. Others are opting to leavevacancies unfilled rather thanhire from the current pool ofapplicants.

As Thomas Braidwood wrotefollowing the public inquiry, “Mr.Dziekanski’s death appears tohave galvanized public antipathyfor the Force and its members.That is regrettable, because themost important weapon in thearsenal of the police is publicsupport.”

Given the diminished level ofthis public support, it was prob-ably not the right time to grantthe police such unprecedenteddiscretion to suspend licencesand impound vehicles.

Worryingerosion offreedomF

or those of us who have neverbeen arrested, last Friday’sSupreme Court ruling on accessto a lawyer may seem inconse-

quential. Some, indeed, will see it as ahandy tool against criminals. In fact, it’s aworrying erosion of freedom.

In a split decision, the court ruled thatthe right to a lawyer during police inter-rogation is not protected by the constitu-tion. As long as someone accused of acrime has a chance to talk to an attorneyafter their arrest—even if just for a fewminutes —then police can interrogatethat person for hours, declining everysubsequent request for consultation. Aconviction based on that interrogation isperfectly valid.

There’s no question that some guiltyindividuals go free on technicalities. Insuch instances, lawyers can seem likemore of an obstruction to justice than adefender, but this perception is flawed.

The right to a lawyer exists to ensurethat those accused of breaking the lawunderstand our justice system and ulti-mately receive a fair trial. Last week’s rul-ing undermines that.

In the pursuit of a confession, policeinterrogators can veer into legally dubi-ous territory, but without legal counsel,there is no one there to pull them back.Restricting access to lawyers simplyincreases the odds the wrong person willgo to jail.

It’s been said that people will trade free-dom for security, as long as it’s someoneelse’s freedom. Where the constitution isinvolved, however, the freedom is neversomeone else’s.

If you were accused of a crime, which ofyour rights would you discard?

◗ Your view



Editor:I am writing, as on previ-

ous occasions, to criticizethe classification of inmatesbeing housed in the Chilli-wack Community Cor-rectional Centre but with adifferent slant.

The director of this facility,Kenneth Glen Mattinson,was disturbed in the pastthat I had mentioned thesecrecy in placing a violentsex offender by CorrectionsCanada in a Mission mobilehome park which culmi-nated in a very violent deathof a young girl who alsoresided in the park by thatoffender.

Mattinsons’ defence ofinmates being accepted inthe local centre, as well ashis previous time at SumasCentre in Abbotsford whichwas closed after a history ofcrimes in the community bySumas Centre inmates andrelocated here, is to explainthat the local Citizens Advi-sory Committee and RCMPare provided with completeinformation concerning aninmate being considered foracceptance to the centre. Ithas been proven in the past,on more than one occasion,that despite negative reac-tion by the committee to aparticular candidate, Cor-rections Canada “makes thedecision” despite promisesto the contrary.

Now, that said, with theOct. 4 arrest of Mattinsonand charges of committingtwo counts of offering anindignity to human remainsand two counts of breachesof trust while employed pre-viously as a coroner with theB.C. Coroners Office whichhe is said to have “retired”from (after criminal inves-tigations were launched) Ifind the hypocrisy in thismatter to be astounding.How does an individualformerly in a public positionof trust under investigationfor criminal offences involv-ing sexual perversion beplaced in the top position ofa Federal Correctional facil-ity housing sex offendersamongst its population?

He has not been convictedand yet to stand trial, butsurely Corrections Canadawere alerted to the matterprior to his appointmentconsidering mandatorypolice clearance in federalemployment and Correc-tions Canada and the RCMPare under the same umbrel-

la. Equally astounding isthe vision of this subjectsitting on a Corrections Cen-tre board with RCMP andCitizens Advisory memberspresent deliberating on theacceptance of an inmate(s)from a higher securityprison.

Spending like adrunken sailorEditor:

Federal Finance MinisterJim Flaherty said last Tues-day the government rackedup a deficit of $55.6 billionin the last fiscal year, nearly$2 billion higher than fore-cast. It’s the biggest annualdeficit posted by a federalgovernment in Canadianhistory.

At this point, our nationaldebt, which is an accumu-lation of federal govermentoverspending, now standsat an unfathomable $543billion and because of theinterest we are obliged topay on it, is escalating at arate of $1,000 per second.

By the time (2015/16) JimFlaherty plans on balancingour yearly fiscal budget, thisnational debt will exceedfar beyond $700 billion—which may be an optimisticforecast.

Just to put this accumu-lated debt in perspective,if every man, woman andchild in our country wereto pay the governmentapproximately $16,000 wecould wipe out the nationaldebt—but it would have tobe done quickly before theinterest on it escalates itany further.

Isn’t it ironic that StephenHarper, who is educatedin economics, is spendinglike a drunken sailor—and

Jim Flaherty, a lawyer, is incharge of the purse strings?

Jack StewartChilliwack

Saviour neededfor downtownEditor:

I was reading the missionstatement of the BIA, whichin part goes like this: “tolead a co-operative effort inrevitalizing and enhancingthe down town of Chilli-wack.” Well they got half ofit right, it seems Ms. Funkand comapny forget thatdowntown does extend eastof Young Road, it seems allthe revitalizing takes placewest of Young Road. Why isthis Ms. Funk?

I have talked with manybusiness people that doexist east of Young. Theyhave very few, if any, nicewords about the BIA, andapparently if one wants tohave a business in this burg,you have to join the BIA.If this is indeed true, thenwhy? Are we not in a demo-cratic country? Why woulda person have to join andpay dues, fees or whateverto this organization?

They’ve done wonderson the west side of Young,but it’s a wasteland eastof Young, and the city let’sthem get away with it. Ourso-called city govermentand the BIA have been say-ing for years it will come,well maybe west of Young,but nowhere else. Betweenthe city and BIA they can’teven run a decent bus ser-vice.

Maybe it’s time for Ms.Funk and company to foldtheir tents and move toSardis, or better yet, to Yar-row. Let’s see what you cando for those folks.

Give the folks downtown

a break. I have lived herealmost all of my life, thedowntown has never lookedas bad as it does now.

Uninformedabout transitEditor:

Each time the light railissue has been brought upMayor Sharon Gaetz hasn’thad any more insight thanto say rail crossings wouldcost the city $500,000each. Upper Prairie Road isshortly getting one of thesenew crossings and after thegovernment’s contributionsthe bill to the city is actually$44,000.

I have nothing againstMayor Gaetz, but I alsoknow that Chilliwack coun-cil is totally uninformedwhen it comes to rail.

There are already threestudies recommending it.The Rail For the Valley oneis just the most recent, andcouncil hasn’t done any-thing positive. The expertshave said to put togethera pilot project and Surrey,Langley and Abbotsford areworking toward this goalwith the South of the FraserCommunity Rail Task Force.

Meanwhile, Chilliwackcouncil is ignoring thisand we really risk beingexcluded from the eventualrail network.

Please, Mayor Gaetz,there is now more thenenough data that firmlysupports light rail. Chilli-wack deserves a lot bettertransportation then you’regiving us.

Let’s just call it a supernatural hattrick.

Ryan Howse scored three goals inless than a minute Saturday as heand his Chilliwack Bruins beat theVancouver Giants 6-3 at ProsperaCentre.

Robin Soudek put the Bruinsahead 1-0 with 13 seconds to go inthe first period—the Bruins havenow scored first in each of their ninegames this season—before Howsetook over eight minutes into the sec-ond.

With the Vancouver Giants downtwo men, Howse picked up the puckon the right side near the goal line,waltzed into the faceoff circle andwristed a shot past Giants netminderBrendan Jensen.

Just 38 seconds later, and afteranother Giant had been sent to thesin bin, Howse one-timed a shot pastJensen from the exact same locationas his previous goal. Nineteen sec-onds after that goal, Howse took apass from Roman Horak and scoredhis third in as many breaths.

The rapid-fire hat trick set a fran-chise record but fell short of the all-time WHL record of three goals in 24seconds, set by Jim Harrison of the

Estevan Bruins in 1966. Howse’s finaltally also forced Jensen from the netin favour of backup Mark Segal.

The Giants rallied, and Cain Fran-son and Dalton Sward cut the leadto two in an entertaining period that

featured a scrap between a pair ofChilliwack-born defenceman, WesVannieuwenhuizen and Zach Hab-scheid.

In the third, Steven Hodges wasthe lucky recipient of a Giant turn-

over and, finding himself alone withthe puck in front of the net, Hodgesdeked Segal and potted his firstcareerWHL goal.

That marker was followed shortlyby Soudek’s second of the game to

seal the victory for the locals.On Friday, the Bruins fell 4-3 to the

Kelowna Rockets. Kelowna starterJordon Cooke stymied the Bruinsthroughout the game, and ColtonSissons scored the winner with 30seconds to go in the second periodto give the Rockets the win.

The Bruins lost more than thegame, however.

Dylen McKinlay was helped off theice after he was the victim of a knee-on-knee hit by Kelowna defencemanMitchell Chapman.

Chapman was handed a five-min-ute kneeing penalty on the play anda game misconduct, but not beforehaving to scrap with Bruin defenderHabscheid. Chapman was issuedan immediate suspension, with thelength to be determined Monday orTuesday. The Bruins are also waitingto learn how long McKinlay—whosat out Saturday’s game—will begone.

His absence, however long it maybe, will put more pressure on theBruins’ second and third lines tostep up and start scoring.

Through nine games, the Bru-ins have scored 35 goals, of whichHowse has contributed 14 and line-mates Roman Horak and RobinSoudek have combined for 10.

Howse that for a hat trick

Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls led the Univer-sity of the Fraser Valley Cascades to asecond-place finish at the 2010 CCAA

men’s golf national championships, held at theDunes, in Kamloops. The Cascades finishedthe three-day tournament with a team scoreof 886, 38-strokes behind the CCAA NationalChampion Humber College Hawks (OCAA).The CCAA Bronze Medal went to GeorgianCollege Grizzles (OCAA) with a score of 896.

The Cascades previously won the 2007 CCAAand 2008 CCAA bronze medal. They finishedin fourth place last year.

“I’m really proud of this group of guys forgoing out and performing under some verychallenging conditions this week,” said coachChris Bertram. “Finishing second in the nationis quite an accomplishment and speaks to thequality of talent we have in this program.”

Pauls, who shot a three day total of 219, goodfor seventh overall out of 105 participating gol-fers, was the Cascades’ top golfer at the cham-pionship. David Lang of Humber College, wasthe individual champion with a score of 206.

Bertram has led the UFV Cascades men’sgolf program to two straight BCCAA Provincialtitles (2008 and 2009). In the current BCCAAregular season, he has the Cascades just threestrokes off a third consecutive title with oneevent remaining. Since Bertram took over theteam six seasons ago, the team has amassedan impressive 10 tournament championships,eight silver medals, and remarkably has onlyfinished outside of the podium on three occa-sions. Under Bertram’s guidance, the teamhas been called to the Abbotsford Sports Wallof Fame for an incredible three years running.More recently, Bertram was asked to coachTeam BC, Canada’s sole representative at theTaiwan National Championship in August.

“Its an honour to be recognized by my fellow

coaches” said Bertram, who lives in Chilliwack.“But the credit really goes to the core groupof players who have stuck it out through thetough times, and the UFV administration forbelieving in and supporting the program fromday one.”

“Chris has done a great job in leadingour UFV Cascades golf program,” said RickNickelchok, UFV athletic director. “I amvery proud of Chris and it is great to see hiscolleagues recognize his hard work.”

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

Chilliwack-bred freestyle mountain biker Sam Dueck practises his craft at the Chilliwack skatepark. Dueck hopes to become nothing less than the best ‘slopestyle’ rider in the world.


Don’t tell Sam Dueck that man wasn’tmeant to fly. Don’t tell his parentseither.

The 18-year-old Sardis secondary gradwants to be the best in the world at flyingthrough the air on top of, and sometimesunderneath, a mountain bike. It’s a sky-high goal matched only by the air Dueckgets when he wheels his mountain bike off ajump.

Dueck’s recent fourth-place slopestyleshowing at Whistler Crankworx, one ofthe world’s largest freestyle mountain bikeevents, is just the latest in a string of stel-lar results for the young man with the easysmile. And while a year-and-a-half of top-10 finishes around North America hasn’tallowed him to quit laying down hardwoodfloors with his father, it has garnered him acoveted sponsorship with bike manufac-turer Norco and contacts within the tightlyknit freestyle community.

It has also got his mother Leslie to finallystart prioritizing mountain bike jumpingover making his bed.

“Instead of saying ‘you can’t go biking

tomorrow, you have to clean your room,’”he says with a chuckle, “she’s like, ‘Sam, youHAVE to practise tomorrow.’”

For Dueck, practice looks an awful lot likeplay. He doesn’t have a coach, a nutritionistor a sports psychologist. Instead, he rideswith friends, watches video of his heroes,and tries to replicate their mid-air antics.

It started with a stalled development adja-cent to Dueck’s Greendale home. A deve-loper had dumped a load of dirt on theproperty and then left it there for a year anda half. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long forlocal kids—including Dueck—to start com-peting to see who could jump their bikesfurther over the pile.

“After a while the handlebars on my bikewere bent all the way down,” Dueck remem-bers. The pile of dirt disappeared after morethan a year and Dueck also moved on. Hesaved up money, bought a proper moun-tain bike and began riding on Vedder Moun-tain. Later he and his friends turned the siteof his uncle’s trucking company into theirown practice facility, building gradually lar-ger jumps and flying progressively higher. Itcontinues to this day.

Chilliwack Silver Strikers had plentyof opportunities but failed to beatthe opposing keeper as they fell

1-0 to the visiting Coquitlam Fusion onSunday in U15 girls soccer action.

The locals got off to an uncharacter-istically slow start, allowing the Fusionto penetrate the 18 on numerous drivesearly in the first half. The Strikers finallygot their playing legs but a little too lateas the visitors opened the scoring after agoal mouth scramble at the 10-minutemark. The game settled into a midfieldbattle for possession, with midfielders

Alexis Ray, Elena Schroots, and RhiannonDunphy forcing a number of turnovers,allowing forwards Emma Haagensenand Emily Finley attacking chances thatjust missed.

The Strikers dominated the secondhalf. The pressure paid off with no lessthan three breakaways (Taylor Allan,Makayla Pfeifer and Kelsey DeGroot) andfour crosses to the open side, (Kiana The-issen and Brett Karicoglu) but the girlswere unable to capitalize. The U15 girlsare on the road next Sunday to play theLadner Strikers.

Attack blank TornadoesA pair of late goals propelled the Chilli-

wack Attack to a 2-0 victory over theNorth Coquitlam Tornadoes in U15 girlsgold soccer action.

After a tight second half during whichneither team got a sniff at goal, the Attackbegan pushing forward in the second.Jenna Snow sprang Mackenzie Grahamwith a through ball. Graham made nomistake to put the Attack ahead at the71-minute mark. Five minutes later Syd-ney Steeves crossed the ball to Krista Bar-tel, who volleyed in an insurance goal.

Acouple miscues was all ittook for the Chilliwack Cru-saders to fall to one of the

best rugby clubs in the province.The North Shore

Capilanoes barelymanaged to squeakout a 22-18 victoryover the Crusadersin B.C. Rugby UnionAction Saturday atTownsend Park.

Upon receivingthe opening kick-off, the Crusaderspounded their waydownfield and, froma scrum five metresfrom the goal line,C r u s a d e r N o r mBalez snuck throughthe pack, grabbedthe ball and foundthe end zone to thesurprise of all, including the refer-ees.

The return of Rob Leetch re-ener-

gized the Crusaders’ back line andallowed the locals to carry the playinto half time.

But a series of penalties in thes e c o n d h a l fallowed the Cap-ilanoes to get backi n t o t h e g a m e,assisted in partby an errant passby the Crusadersinto their own endzone.

A Leetch pen-alty drew the Cru-saders closer buta n o t h e r C h i l l i -wack error allowedNor th Shore toextend their lead.

A l a t e t r y byAaron Angers withjust four minutesleft drew the Cru-

saders back to within four points,but a final press was unable tocomplete the comeback.

“Every year it progresses,” says Dueck. “Itstarted out with shovels, hand digging littlejumps and now it’s to the point where we brou-ght the big excavator back and the bulldozer.”

Last year, Dueck finally felt ready to com-pete. So he entered a popular freestyle moun-tain bike competition in Creston called GoatStyle. The event is open to all talent levels butin a moment of hubris, Dueck entered the procategory. Far from being embarrassed, Dueckplaced second and earned a chance to partici-pate in a Crankworx competition in Colorado.

There, despite being initially intimidatedby the sheer scale of the jumps, Dueck puttogether a run that vaulted him into fifth placeand above numerous professionals. Enteringthis year as a member of Norco’s factory team,Dueck has finished in the top 10 of every com-petition he entered. In November will leave for

California for an invitation-only competition/party hosted by one of the sport’s best.

Dueck says he was drawn to jumpingbecause of the sense of freedom, the ability toconstantly improve, and the sheer thrill thatcomes with flying a bike.

“Getting air just feels like the coolest thingever,” he says. “It just gets better when you cando a trick out of it.”

He’s also following in the footsteps of hisfather, a pioneering freestyle skier who knowsjust how hard the ground can be.

Gord Dueck broke his back while doing abackflip. Now his son is performing the sametrick on a bike. Check out Friday’s Times tolearn what it’s like watching your son fly whenyou know the consequences of a bad landing.

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

Chilliwack’s Sam Dueck began jumping his bike off a dirt pile at a vacant Greendale property. Nowhe’s riding with his sport’s best—and often beating them.

“while things were being assembled,there was an offer already in place.”She said the property has been “poten-tially sold.”

Janzen and other members of herhealth contact centre committee wereslated to meet with Les Monday after-noon to determine how to proceed.They will also discuss other propertiesthat may fit the bill for a health contactcentre.

Les, for one, wants to know why theTraders Inn property wasn’t bought assoon as the B.C. Housing commitmentwas made.

“Somebody, somewhere has got tofigure out why that didn’t happen afterthat commitment was in place,” he

said. There is no assurance, he said,that the promised funding will still beavailable.

“You get your ducks all lined up andwhen any of them falls, then it’s oftenback to square one,” he told the Times.

Janzen is also worried, but hopes thatif another property can be identifiedsoon, the money will still be available.She noted that B.C. Housing often hasa limited amount of money to spendand a limited list of properties that itcan support.

“The point here is to make sure wecontinue to be on this list,” said Janzen.

She said both Les and B.C. Housinghave been invaluable partners throughthe process, which began more thanthree years ago when the contact cen-tre was first proposed.

“I’m very happy with B.C. Housing andwhere we’re sitting with them,” she said.

The centre is crucial, Janzen andGaetz said, especially in light of lastweek’s report in Maclean’s magazine,which ranked Chilliwack as the ninthmost “crime-ridden” city in the country.

Janzen noted housing, mental health,addiction and crime and public safetyissues are all linked.

“You cannot fix addiction and men-tal health and homelessness issuesunless you really deal with the afford-able housing issue,” she said. “Andvice versa is also true. You can providehousing, but you also need to providewrap-around services for individu-als who are struggling. It’s that kind ofone-two combination that is going tobe successful.”

BY CORNELIA [email protected]

TheCorpseBrideandthePumpkinKing are getting ready to bejoined in ghoulish matrimony atthe Reapers Haunted Attraction

in Chilliwack this Halloween.It’s not for every couple, but to Erik

Laflamme and Lisa Collins of NorthVancouver, the spooky venue on GibsonRoad seemed like the perfect place to tiethe knot.

“It’s one of the best haunted houseson the West Coast for starters,” saidLaflamme.

The couple are a pair of self-proclaimedHalloween nuts who set up their ownhaunted house in North Van every year,so when Laflamme proposed to Collinsat the wedding of some friends just over ayear ago, plans for a Halloween weddingwere in the works before their friends’reception was even over.

At first they envisioned a celebration inthe style of director Tim Burton’s musicalstop-motion-animation films The CorpseBrideandTheNightmareBeforeChristmasbut have since decided not to stifle self-expression amongst their wedding partyand guests.

“Halloween is kind of a time where youget to present your alter ego to the rest ofthe world,” said Laflamme.

So, while Collins will come to the altaras the Corpse Bride and Laflame as JackSkellington—complete with pin-stripedsuit, bat bowtie and stitches for lips—the rest of the company are invited to

wear whatever they like—as long as it’sghoulish.

“There’s no dirty nurses,” saidLaflamme, “unless you’re a zombie dirtynurse, then that’s OK.”

Once the couple decided on a theme,they started looking around for a suitablevenue.

A contact at Frightfest B.C. (a club theybelong to for people who set up hauntedhouses) directed them to Reapers.

“It’s totally fantastic what they do,” saidLaflamme of Reapersowners Gary and LisaMoran and their sonsDave and James who’vebeen scaring Chilliwacklocals for 16 years.“They’ve been reallyreally awesome andsuper enthusiastic about getting this alltogether.”

The ceremony will take place in a creepycathedral the Morans designed especiallyfor the wedding.

Last year the same space (at theentrance of the attraction’s hauntedhouse) was decked out in an Egyptiantheme.

“The cathedral is getting huge reviews,I would say as much in the daytime asnighttime,” said Gary Moran who hasbeen monitoring the different “scares”since the attraction opened Oct. 1.

One unexpected challenge of havinga Halloween wedding has been itspopularity among out-of-town invitees.

Laflamme said he didn’t count on manyguests making the trek from Quebecand Ontario but has had to adjust hisexpectations—and the guest list.

“There’s some family that I haven’t seenfor about 25 years from back East, andwe put the invitation out there just to becordial, but as soon as they found outit was Halloween-themed, the e-mails

started to fly,” he said.LaflammeandCollins

will be the first couple tobe married at Reapers,but Lisa Moran saidfolks at the attractionhave long thought itwould be a great place

to host“Goth weddings.”Not that the couple being married there

this month are exactly Goths—even if theyare being joined in holy matrimony by anall-faith minister decked out as Medusa.

“We’re quite normal in our normallives,” said Laflamme.

◗ Reapers is located at 9423 Gibson Rd.The attraction is open nightly (7 to 9p.m. on weeknights and 7 to 10 p.m.on weekends) until Oct. 31. For moreinformation including information aboutdaytime tours visit www.reapers.ca.

“I became very disillusioned with themedical profession and the neurologists andthe MS clinic in general,” she said. “They justpush drugs.

“My MS doctor is giving me options withreally serious health risks and on the otherhand not allowing me to have really simpleballoon angioplasty with very little risk.”

The MS Society of Canada and the NationalMS Society (U.S.) has committed $2.4 millionto support seven research projects focusedon the relationship between CCSVI and MS.And on Sept. 16, the MS Society announceda further $1 million to be set aside for a “pan-Canadian therapeutic clinical trial” if andwhen such a trial is approved.

In August, Braun finally got the proceduredone in Germany and spent about $7,000of her own money doing so. The surgeryis simple enough that it was done withoutanasthetic. She said while it wasn’t painful, itwas extremely uncomfortable.

Her improvements haven’t been asdramatic as some others have reported, butneither has her condition worsened.

And when you live with MS, smallimprovements can mean a lot.

“[My husband] told me now when he holdsmy hand it feels real,” she said. “‘Becausesometimes when I held your hands it waslike holding a mannequin’s hand.’ And Ido have more energy; I don’t get as tired asquickly.”

In September, Braun and her husbandwent to a Chilliwack Bruins game oneSaturday night. Usually the one-kilometrewalk from her house would be too far andher husband would drop her off and comepark at home. They were late this day so shesaid “I can walk.”

“We actually walked the kilometre andbecause we were late I was hoofing it andhe was telling me to slow down,” she said.“Halfway we got to the curling rink and hesaid, ‘Aren’t you tired yet?’

“I actually stopped and said, ‘no, I’m not.’”Braun is not on a mission to promote this

procedure. She is well aware of the placeboeffect and said she is quite skeptical. But sheis certain she can do things now that shecouldn’t before and her circulation seems tohave improved.

For Braun, the issue is less about her resultsand her MS than it is about gatekeepers andspecialists that seem to refuse to look outsidetheir narrow professions at other potentialcauses.

“It took a vascular surgeon to come upwith this because he happened to have awife with MS,” she said.

The MS Society said that the schedule ofplanned research has been implementedincredibly quickly in the case of CCSVIand MS, much more so than would havenormally taken place.

But for Braun and others, the issue is alsoabout the comparison of risks the medicalindustry tolerates in other procedures anddrug use.

“A woman can go in and have breastimplants if she wants, which I consider afairly invasive procedure and comes with awhole bunch of health risk,” she said. “Yet Ican’t even go to [a clinic] and say ‘My veinsare narrowed, can you please open them up,’even though I’m willing to pay for it.”

As a child, I rememberwhen I first discoveredthe taste of a peanut

butter and banana sand-wich and wondered howmany others knew aboutthis phenomenon. Thecontrasting flavours of saltynuttiness and the sweetnessopened up a whole newworld for me. I then startedsearching for other ways toindulge my newly estab-lished passion for peanutbutter. Spreading a spoonfulof it on each bite of an applewas my favourite.

My fascination with pea-nut butter has matured sincethen, and I have discoveredmany ways to use this house-hold pantry staple. The mostimportant thing to keep inmind however, is the growingnumber of peanut allergiesin people. Always inquirewith dinner guests to discov-

er any allergies you may notbe aware of before planninga menu.

Peanut butter has been inexistence for hundreds ofyears and is a regular fooditem in over 70 per cent ofhouseholds. Peanut butter,in moderation, is a goodpart of a balanced diet and asource of protein. Althoughit contains a large amountof fat, approximately 80 percent of the fat content isunsaturated. Unsaturatedfats have been proven tohelp reduce levels of LDL-cholesterol (the bad cho-

lesterol) without loweringHDL-cholesterol (the goodone). If the healthy aspect isyour focus however, you aremuch better off with naturalpeanut butters where theingredients are just pea-nuts. Peanut butters thatare not natural may containunhealthy artificially pro-duced trans-fats, which havebeen linked to increases inLDL-cholesterol.

The first alternate use forpeanut butter that comes tomind is for making saucesand/or dressings. Use it as abase in a spicy peanut dress-ing for your favorite salad,or in a peanut sauce for yournext stir-fry. There are manyrecipes available to suc-cessfully accomplish theseideas. For a fantastic finish-ing touch make sure thatthe garnish for these dishesinclude a handful of roasted

peanuts. For added dimen-sion of flavour in chili, soupsand stews, a tablespoon ortwo of peanut butter is fan-tastic.

One substitution thatalways keeps me reach-ing for the peanut butter,is to replace tahini. I loveGreek hummus (groundchick pea dip), and it usu-ally requires a sesame pastecalled tahini. Since I hardlyever have tahini on hand,peanut butter is a wonder-ful alternative. It is the sameconsistency as tahini, andthe flavour depth that thepeanut butter adds to therecipe is incredible.

In addition to these usesthere are many desserts thatfeature the wonderful tasteof peanut butter. I cannotstress enough to take advan-tage of the free resourceslike the library and the Inter-

net for an abundant amountof recipes.

Experimenting in thekitchen is the pathway tocreating recipes that you cancall your own and take pridein. Have fun trying thesesuggestions, but if all elsefails there is still one use thatyou can rely on: the nexttime you have a case of thehiccups, swallowing a table-spoon of peanut butter willusually eliminate them.Dear Chef Dez:

I like buying natural pea-nut butter for the healthaspect of it, but because Ihave to store it in the refrig-erator it is terrible for tryingto spread on toast. Any sug-gestions?

Ian B.Abbotsford

Dear Ian:We only buy natural pea-

nut butter and how we over-

come this is simple. We havea toaster oven and once thebread has been toasted, weplace a serving of peanutbutter on each piece andput it back in the warmedoven for approximately 30seconds (with the toasteroven off). Alternatively ifyou don’t own a toasteroven, just microwave a por-tion for a few seconds. Theold school way would be toplan ahead and leave someout at room temperaturebefore breakfast time hits.

By specializing in Volkswagensonly, she is able to save her customerstime and money. The technicians focuson Volkswagens only which ensures thatcustomers get the best technicians fortheir cars at all times. Keeping theoverhead low meant her customerswould bene"t from lower shop ratesthen a dealership would charge, whileproviding excellent quality parts andservice. Clara already knew that the quality in parts and reliability would never besacri"ced. German vehicles require German parts and OEM part manufacturers.

Clara also recognized the community need for quality parts with fair pricing for thosethat like to do their own repairs. Buny’s N’Bugs’ philosophy is simple: We supportthe people that support us with tips and advice if you buy your parts from us. Claramade sure to forge relationships with numerous quality parts manufacturers andsuppliers to provide an ever increasing supply of parts. She has sought out vintage,performance and aftermarket parts for those customers wanting something a littledifferent then stock. They keep over $70,000 in inventory of new parts for allVolkswagen models. Any parts they don’t have in stock are usually only a day away.Buny’s N’Bugs also has a wholesale division, that supplies parts to many other shopsin the Lower Mainland. They are happy to ship parts all across Canada to their retailand wholesale customers.

Buny’s N’Bugs have expanded many times since they opened. From a one bay shop(including of"ce) to their three bay shop with double of"ce, thousands of new parts onsite and several warehouses (off site) for their massive used part selections.

< < small business week Special information supplement

Cash-flow management is atthe heart of every business,and that’s doubly true in the

rough and tumble world of retail-ing.Here,the line between liquidityand bankruptcy can be razor thin.

Just ask Alexandre Bastide,Presi-dent of Underworld Skateboard.The young entrepreneur openedhis first store in Montreal in 1995when he was just 19,and since thenhas seen many of his competitorsclose shop.The reasons were all toocommon,Bastide says.

“No business plan,buying with-out a budget,buying too muchinventory,”says Bastide,whosecompany sells skateboards,acces-sories and apparel.“Heck,I wasn’tmuch better prepared when Istarted.I relied on my instinct,nota budget,for my first few years.Itworked,but I was fortunate.”

Bastide has since opened a sec-ond store in Vancouver and is nowevangelical about managing cashflow.He says he’s had little choiceat a time of demanding suppliers,extra-cautious bankers and intensecompetition from big-box stores.

One of his key strategies is todevelop excellent relationshipswith suppliers—a prerequisite fornegotiating better payment termsduring cash-crunch periods.

The observation that cash is king

in business is hardly new.That’ssupposed to be Business 101 stuff.Indeed,you can Google“cash flowmanagement”and within the367,000 results you will find lots ofsound,practical advice on all yourcash flow problems.

Then again,maybe not.“All that information won’t do

your company much good if youdon’t understand how money flows

in and out of your specific business,”cautions Edmée Métivier,ExecutiveVice President,Financing and Con-sulting,at the Business Develop-ment Bank of Canada (BDC).“Thereare a lot of recipes out there formanaging cash flow,but where toomany entrepreneurs fail is in under-standing how to adapt those reci-pes to fit their particular business.”

As a first step,Métivier says com-

panies need to understand andembrace three principles of cashflow:

1.Understand how cash flows inand out of your company,and howthat fluctuates throughout the year.

2.Establish,and continuouslyupdate,a 12-month cash flow pro-jection.Think of this forecast as anearly warning system that will helpyou have enough cash on hand to

ride out slow periods.3.If you don’t understand 1 and

2,get expert advice.Your businessdepends on it.

Put simply,positive cash flowmeans having more money flowinginto your business than flowing out.Business 101 stuff for sure,yet nothaving enough cash on hand topay bills is still one of the most com-mon reasons companies fail.

“There are some basics of busi-ness that you just can’t miss,andunfortunately too many peopledo,”says Peter Brown,NationalLeader,Private Company Services atDeloitte.

Brown stresses that no companyis immune from the impact of arecession or a fluctuating Canadiandollar.But for most businesses,cashflow is generally predictable.

“It’s important to monitor the keyindicators in your business—thingslike your bank account balance,accounts receivable turnover, inven-tory turnover and sales growth,”he says.“Paying close attention tothese metrics on a daily basis willhelp predict whether your com-pany will have a cash issue or not.”

There are practical ways to pre-pare for cyclical cash shortages.Métivier says companies can,forexample,offer customers discountsfor paying invoices early.

Don’t lose track of your company’s moneyTips for buildingyour cash flow1. Develop a cash-flow planner and

track cash throughout the month2. Closely monitor financial

statements3. Build good relationships with

customers and suppliers4. Collect payments faster and

pursue late bills5. Focus on inventory management

and product offerings6. Use debt, not working capital, to

finance fixed assets7. Use a line of credit, or your own

money, to increase your workingcapital

8. Refinance your fixed assets9. Cut waste and streamline

operations10. Get external advice

Sports and Stuff is one ofChilliwack’s most community mindedbusinesses. Every year hundreds of kidsfrom all over the Fraser Valley get tomeet their sports heroes. This past springCanuck player Mason Raymond drewmore than 500 people to the store; andjust recentlyAlex Burrows of the Canuckssigned over 400 autographs at Sports andStuff. Over the summer, BC Lions playersCasey Printers, Travis Lulay and Em-manuelArceneaux took time out of theirbusy schedules to spend the afternoon atSports and Stuff signing autographs andmeeting their fans.

It wasn’t always this way. Rick Lovell, alifelong sports fan decided to open a storeselling sports teammemorabilia. In 2002 he started out with a small 300 square foot storein ChilliwackMall with only a few t-shirts, hoodies and jerseys. His then 15 year old son,Adam, was pretty excited when, on his own in the store, he made his "rst $150 sale. Sincethen, Sports and Stuff has moved across the hall in ChilliwackMall and has expanded twice.Rick now has almost 2,000 square feet packed with every imaginable sports memorabiliaproduct available!“It’s hard to keep up with all the new stock coming in every day,” says Rick we need morespace!”While they don’t plan on expanding again right away, the idea is de"nitely in theworks for sometime in the future.Finding a niche and creative marketing is how Rick explains his extreme success. “We haveour website and get lots of orders from the States and overseas” says Rick. “And being ableto get the BC Lions to come to the store has been invaluable.We’ve developed a set of priori-ties in our business – to be more than just a retail store – to give back to the community. ForRick and his family, it’s about keeping our kids active. “Sports is an important part of grow-ing up,” saysWendy, Rick’s wife, “team sports are good for kids, they learn to cooperate, tobe part of something bigger than themselves.”

If you’re looking for team sports memorabilia, whether hockey, football or baseball, chancesare you’ll "nd what you’re looking for at Sports and Stuff, at a great price!

Sports and Stuff is located in ChilliwackMall and are openMondays toWednesdays& Saturdays from 9:30 to 5:30pm; Thursdays & Fridays from 9:30am to 9:00pm;

Sundays 11:00am to 5:00pm.You can reach Rick at 604- 858-2614or visit www.sportandstuff2ya.com.

Menzies Pet Hospital openedits doors to the public in October of 2004under the direction and ownership of Dr.Harpal Mann, DVM. Dr. Mann studiedveterinary sciences and graduated fromthe College of Veterinary Sciences, PunjabAgricultural University Ludhiana, Indiawith a B.V.Sc. &A.H degree and laterdid his Masters from the same institutionearning the degree of M.V.Sc. (VeterinaryMedicine).

After practicing for a number of yearsin India, Harpal and his wife, Devinderdecided to immigrate to Canada and landedin Canada along with their two children inJune of 2000. It took approximately threeand a half years for Harpal to get licensed to practice veterinary medicine in Canada. He nowholds the Canadian DVMDegree. The children are Rohtash, their son, who is a high schoolstudent at RTMS and Supreet, their daughter, who is attending UFV. “The kids love it here, andwe all do; with the beauty and the outdoors, what place could be better?” Laughs Harpal.

Growing up in India on a farm, he was always drawn to the outdoors. His concern and love foranimals directed him to become a veterinarian. “Animals give us so much,” says Harpal, “it’sonly "tting that I am able to give back in such an essential way.” The compassion towards hisfurry friends is evident; the hospital is staffed with knowledgeable and friendly people readyto assist in any way. Pumba, one of the hospital’s two resident cats, sleeps lazily in the waitingarea, ready for a rub; while the other cat, Timone, prefers to stay in the back keeping an eyeon the patients. Dr. Mann has restricted his practice to small animals only, mainly canine andfeline.

Celebrating his sixthAnniversary, this month, Dr. Mann extends his sincerest thank you to you,the people of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley; not only for making the hospital such a success,but for welcoming him and his family with such warmth.

As with every anniversary, Menzies Pet Hospital is offering free senior physical examinationsfor pets over seven years of age, every Tuesday and Thursday throughout October and Novem-ber. Contact them for more information.

Have an action plan when hiringIs your company ready to start hiring again

now that the economy is recovering? If so,there are a few things small firms should

know and do if they want to recruit top tal-ent ahead of their competitors.

For starters, if you had to lay off 10 peopleduring the recession,don’t assume youneed fill those same 10 positions,says MaryKaramanos,Senior Vice President of HumanResources,Business Development Bank ofCanada .

“The number of positions isn’t what’simportant, it’s coming up with a recruit-ment plan that identifies the skills, knowl-edge and experience your organizationneeds,”says Karamanos.“You may find outthat it’s not really 10 you need. Maybe it’s15 working differently or eight working inareas that are more strategic to your busi-ness.”

There are also many options that entre-preneurs have. For example,you may wantto consider hiring certain employees asshort-term contractors or even evaluate theimpact of outsourcing certain functions,such as IT or accounting.The demand forpart-time positions and flexible schedules isgrowing among parents of young children,people going to school part-time and retir-ees looking to work a few days each week.

“Businesses need to think outside thebox because people are working differently.It’s driven a lot by personal need and want,but it’s good for companies as well. It reallyopens up the talent pool that’s available,”says Karamanos.

A good recruitment plan should assess

the skills, capabilities and attitudes yourcompany will need over both the short-and long-term, says Prof. Daniel Muzyka,Dean of the Sauder School of Business atthe University of British Columbia. Compa-nies also shouldn’t try to hire everyone theyneed at once.

“There’s a sequence in which you needpeople,”says Muzyka.“Be clear in your ownmind about what sort of skills you reallyneed first and what can wait.”

And lastly, if you’re tapping your competi-tors for talent there’s a good chance they’reeyeing your top performers as well.Thereis no shortage of things companies can doto retain employees: training and develop-ment, flexible employment and innovativecompensations and rewards (e.g. extendedvacations and profit sharing).

However, such perks will mean littleunless employees feel happy and empow-ered in their jobs.

Tips for recruiting new hires1. Develop a recruitment plan that assesses

the skills your company needs2. Be clear on job responsibilities and

experience/education required3. Look to the United States for talent4. Don’t hire based on your intuition5. Be open to flexible work arrangements6. Be innovative with compensation and

rewards7. Understand the different expectations of

younger and older workers
