thief who was ripping off their kids’ money. But police say local children can sleep easier at night after neighbours helped catch a man allegedly trying to break into a Silver Avenue home on Thursday.

Police say they were called about a break-and-enter in progress Thursday morning and, after neighbours described the suspect, a man was spotted running through backyards. While police

set up a perimeter, local residents updated officers on the man’s location and the Mounties Crime Reduction Unit swooped in to make the arrest. Soon after, a second break-and-

enter was detected on nearby Britton Avenue. Two children’s piggy banks were stolen. Police allege that the suspect’s footprints found at the Britton Avenue home matched those found at the Silver Avenue break-in, and at other residences that have been subject to breakand-enters over recent months.

oun. Diane Janzen says she is optimistic that a health contact centre for homeless, addicted and mentally ill men and women will finally be built, despite worries that a $3 million grant from the province and B.C. Housing may disappear. Last week mayor Sharon Gaetz told theTimes that she hoped a recent report on the high number of break-and-enters that afflicts Chilliwack would put a long talked about facility for those in need of help back on the province’s radar. “We’re working together with the province, trying to get funding, and maybe this will be an impetus, a little bit of a push, for them to see that these issues don’t only happen in the big cities,” Gaetz told the Times. “They happen in small communities as well and Chilliwack may be one of those communities that really, really does 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 August to use towards buying and renovating a property to provide housing and “wrap-around” services. Les said that it was assumed that an offer would be immediately made on the Traders Inn property on Yale Road. But according to Janzen, See CENTRE, Page 17

Hope desperate

Briefly Head-on crash claims life of Chilliwack man A Chilliwack man is dead following a head-on collision on the Coquihalla Highway just north of Hope. Police say a 2003 Pontiac Montana minivan was travelling northbound in the southbound lanes when it hit a 2003 Chevrolet Impala driven by a 33-year-old Kamloops man. Both drivers died in the accident. Names have not been released. Preliminary investigation has ruled out road and weather conditions in the accident. Police are still trying to piece together how the minivan ended up driving on the wrong side of the road. Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Owen Hazlewood at 604-702-4039.

Canadian Hemp Corp. announced Chilliwack would be its centre of operations, causing quite a stir with local farmers. City officials were fielding almost a dozen calls a day from farmers after the news was announced. Soil experts said Chilliwack’s dirt was ideal for growing the controversial crop. Mayor John Les was quoted as saying, “This is a further step in the diversification of our agricultural sector.”

It’s great that people know more about MS and it’s more in the public eye but I’d like to be able to direct some more attention to the other work that the society is doing and other issue that people are facing.” On Aug. 26, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) convened a meeting of leading MS experts in collaboration with the MS Society. Instead of pushing for studies, the CIHR showed its skepticism of the connection between blood flow and MS and recommended baby steps forward, which frustrates patients whose daily lives depend on the hope of relief. The federal government, following CIHR’s lead, seems to have taken a similar position. In a press release issued after the Aug. 26 meeting, CIHR president Dr. 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 agreement from the scientific experts that it is premature to support panCanadian clinical trials on the proposed ‘Liberation Procedure,’” said Beaudet in the release. “There is an overwhelming lack of scientific evidence on the safety and efficacy of the procedure, or even that there is any link between blocked veins and MS.” In other words, later this year they will get some experts together to look at studies that have been done to see if any more studying should be done. This isn’t good enough for Braun and hundreds of other MS sufferers hearing positive things from patients who have received CCSVI.

Energy challenge

Cash incentives for those who lower their energy costs

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack school district is pitting school against school in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint. Under the B.C. government’s 2007 Greenhouse Gas Reductions Target Act, 2010 is the year school districts provincewide are required to become carbon neutral. Those that don’t get their act together will have to pay more for extra greenhouse gas emissions by buying carbon offsets starting next year. In Chilliwack, secretary treasurer Ray Velestuk estimates that bill will come to about $50,000. To get that cost down and to live up to its commitment as a signatory of B.C.’s Climate Action Charter, the district has devised an “energy challenge” for schools. From January through March, schools will get a chance to earn more than $2,000 in cash incentives for turning off lights, shutting down computer screens, using less paper, turning down thermostats and anything else they can think of to save energy. “We’re going to ask schools to reduce energy as much as they can, in whatever areas they can,” said Velestuk. Schools that cut down their energy use by between five and 10 per cent will get $1,000.

Those that achieve energy savings between 11 and 16 per cent will get $1,500 and those that manage savings of more than 17 per cent will net $2,000. “Although we’re saving money on the one side by reducing our energy, we’re going to give it right back to the schools to spend on resources,” said Velestuk. “Because we have a surplus in our budget, we don’t need to create more surplus. We need to reduce our carbon footprint.” There is even a prize for most improved. At each level—elementary, middle and secondary—the school that shows the greatest percentage shift in energy use will win a $500 grant for an eco-themed class field trip, like Science World, the Ruskin Dam or the Brittania Mining Museum. The energy challenge is one of several recent initiatives aimed at shrinking the district’s carbon footprint. Besides upgrading lights and installing new high-efficiency or electronic ignition furnaces, the district has also installed real-time power monitoring hardware and software at 10 sites to give schools more immediate access to information about their energy usage. The district’s Green Team is also working to get Green Teams (a teacher/energy champion and a group of interested students, parents and staff) established at each school to help the school become more energy aware and efficient. “We need to start to change behaviours,” said Velestuk. ◗ More information about the energy challenge will soon be up on the School District No. 33 website at www.sd33.bc.ca.

What do students think?

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

Julian Ensz Grade 12 “They don’t have the hot water any more, and I think that’s a really good idea. Paper’s a big thing. I think they should lower the limit on how much paper teachers can use because some teachers do go through a lot.”

Tyler Kinakin Grade 12 “They definitely use up a lot of paper, and they could maybe turn off the computers that aren’t being used.”

Brandy Finlayson Grade 12 “They could probably turn off their lights because we don’t really need them most of the time. And some teachers have their computers on 24/7 and they barely ever use them.”

Carter Budau Grade 10 “We could wear a sweater instead of turning up the heat.”

Zack Jerome Grade 11 “Leave the computers off when they’re not being used.”

Noel Moiceanu Grade 11 “I think we could turn off lights when they’re not being used or in classrooms facing the sun.”

Trisha Williams Grade 12 “Turn off the computer when you’re not using it and the lights when you leave the room.”

Tayler Foss Grade 11 “I really have no clue. Maybe they could use energy-saving light bulbs.”

Paddlers support wild salmon

ignitaries, politicians, First Nation leaders and other paddlers will be in the Fraser River this week to remind the public that wild salmon have to be protected. A diverse array of skippers and paddlers will venture into the Fraser River in Hope on Tuesday. They plan on canoeing all the way to Vancouver to make their voices heard in support of a collaborative effort to protect wild salmon. The paddlers dock in Chilliwack on Oct. 20, first at Cheam Beach at 1 p.m., where they will

meet members of the Cheam band, and then at the Skwah First Nation reserve, where a celebration is planned and open to the public, at 5 p.m. The paddle will culminate in a rally at the Cohen Commission’s Vancouver hearings, where they hope to emphasize the detrimental effect of fish farming on wild salmon. Those with their own kayaks or canoe are invited to join the fleet. For more information visit www.salmonaresacred.org

PIGGY BANK, from page 1

Obvious source

The theft of children’s piggy banks from the Britton Avenue home was not an isolated incident, according to RCMP spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “It has been a typical M.O. of [the suspect] to take piggy banks,” Wolbeck alleged. She said police believe that the man was targeting a piggy bank of the Silver Avenue home when he was spotted. “There’s something particularly violating about targeting something that belongs to a child.” Wolbeck couldn’t say if piggy banks are often targeted by thieves, but she did note that they are fairly obvious sources of money. “When you see a piggy bank, you know there’s money in it. You don’t have to spend a lot of time in a house, scouring for money.” With a report last week proclaiming Chilliwack to have the highest break-and-enter rate in the country, the arrest of the alleged “Piggy Bank Burglar” comes at a good time, according to police. “This was a really good catch for us,” said Wolbeck. “Hopefully with this arrest, the break-and-enters in that area will be significantly reduced.” However, she cautioned that residents

should still take caution to protect their homes and belongings. Jeremy Harris, 35, of Chilliwack, has been charged with six separate counts of break and enter. In all six, police allege piggy banks were targeted. But Harris is not the only one facing breakand-enter charges this week. A 62-year-old man was arrested late Friday night after police they found him inside a Merritt Drive home. Mounties say a neighbour spotted a flash light in a backyard and a man climbing a ladder at the back of a home. Police arrived to find the ladder in place and the man allegedly inside holding a bag containing jewelry and change. The man, who has not yet been named, has been held in custody and was slated to appear in provincial court Monday to face charges. Police say both men arrested in connection with the break-and-enters are known to them. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop credits the public’s help, along with frequent patrols of hot spots, for helping arrest the suspects.

Raw milk operator waits for judge’s final decision Facing contempt of court charges BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

raser Health will wait for a B.C. Supreme Court judge’s decision on whether the former operator of a Chilliwack raw milk dairy is in contempt of court before the public health body tries to shut down the new incarnation of the dairy. Alice Jongerden appeared in New Westminster on Thursday to answer to the civil contempt of court charge. Fraser Health has been trying for several years to shut down Jongerden’s EB IRST Home on the Range Dairy, First reported on which distributed raw chilliwacktimes.com milk to about 450 people. In March, an injunction was issued to stop the flow of raw milk, but the milk continued to be distributed with the label “Not for Human Consumption.” That label proves to be the crux of the judge’s decision, according to Fraser Health spokesperson Roy Thorpe. “In our mind the intent was still to distribute for human consumption,” he told the Times Monday. According to an affidavit filed in court and signed by George Rice, manager of environmental health for Fraser Health, Jongerden is “on a campaign of public defiance in

support of the production of raw milk for human consumption.” Jongerden was forced to resign from the dairy because of the contempt charge, but raw milk advocate Michael Schmidt from Ontario has stepped in to take over the dairy, which has been renamed Our Milk. After the Oct. 14 court appearance, Jongerden, Schmidt and their supporters passed around and drank from bottles of milk outside the court. On Sept. 28, the two drank milk in front of Chilliwack’s Fraser Health offices in a similar stunt. No one at the Fraser Health office reacted and Thorpe said they recognized that move as “a political-style demonstration and Schmidt has a right to his viewpoint.” In Ontario, Schmidt was charged with 19 counts related to his distribution of raw milk from his farm in a cowshare similar to Home on the Range. He beat all 19 charges in an Ontario court last year. In the original injunction against Jongerden from March, Justice Miriam Gropper found Home on the Range to be similar to Schmidt’s cowshare. Gropper noted the Ontario Milk Act is not similar to the B.C. Public Health Act and she declined to use it as a precedent. Thorpe said that Fraser Health is simply enforcing the Public Health Act which defines unpasteurized milk as a health hazard, and will wait for Gropper’s decision to file another injunction against Our Milk. Gropper will deliver her decision at a later date that has not yet been set.

◗ Opinion

Are new powers earned?

uch of the success or failure of public policy comes down to a matter of timing. Even the most sensible and thoughtful initiative can be disastrous if instituted at the wrong time and under the wrong conditions. Consider the recently announced penalties regarding drinking and driving. Supporters of the new rules are adamant that anything that reduces the number of impaired, even marginally impaired, drivers is good public policy. Opponents are concerned about the erosion of civil liberties and the impact on due process and the presumption of innocence. A recent column on the issue generated a considerable number of pieces of correspondence, with about twice as many opposing the penalties as supporting them. One theme that was repeated often in these e-mails is a lack of trust in the police to use these new powers in a professional manner. Readers made reference to the number of officers involved in scandalous behaviour in recent times and were quite clear they simply don’t trust the police. It causes one to wonder if there would have been the same backlash were these penalties introduced 10 years ago. Until quite recently, police across the

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters country had unwavering levels of public support. But over the last several years, this has taken a substantial hit. The public’s confidence in the police has been challenged numerous times but the Robert Dziekanski incident at the Vancouver Airport delivered the most damning blow. The questionable use of the Taser that led to his death is one thing. More damaging though was the finding of the public inquiry that the police engaged in “shameful conduct” and made “deliberate misrepresentations.” Any reasonable person who followed the proceedings could only conclude that the officers involved lied their butts off. This is what has many people legitimately concerned about the new drinking and driving penalties. Unlike a criminal charge, the police won’t have to demonstrate they followed the rules and they won’t have their version of the chain of events subjected to scrutiny and cross-examination in court. A decade ago the public

might have been OK with giving such discretionary powers to the police. It appears that’s no longer the case. This sad reality isn’t simply a function of the proverbial few bad apples. It’s well known that police agencies are not being flooded with the same number of outstanding applicants as they once were. Many police forces are reluctantly hiring people who, 10 years ago, would have been screened out in the early stages of the application process. Others are opting to leave vacancies unfilled rather than hire from the current pool of applicants. As Thomas Braidwood wrote following the public inquiry, “Mr. Dziekanski’s death appears to have galvanized public antipathy for the Force and its members. That is regrettable, because the most important weapon in the arsenal of the police is public support.” Given the diminished level of this public support, it was probably not the right time to grant the police such unprecedented discretion to suspend licences and impound vehicles. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the Fraser Valley.

or those of us who have never been arrested, last Friday’s Supreme Court ruling on access to a lawyer may seem inconsequential. Some, indeed, will see it as a handy tool against criminals. In fact, it’s a worrying erosion of freedom. In a split decision, the court ruled that the right to a lawyer during police interrogation is not protected by the constitution. As long as someone accused of a crime has a chance to talk to an attorney after their arrest—even if just for a few minutes —then police can interrogate that person for hours, declining every subsequent request for consultation. A conviction based on that interrogation is perfectly valid. There’s no question that some guilty individuals go free on technicalities. In such instances, lawyers can seem like more of an obstruction to justice than a defender, but this perception is flawed. The right to a lawyer exists to ensure that those accused of breaking the law understand our justice system and ultimately receive a fair trial. Last week’s ruling undermines that. In the pursuit of a confession, police interrogators can veer into legally dubious territory, but without legal counsel, there is no one there to pull them back. Restricting access to lawyers simply increases the odds the wrong person will go to jail. It’s been said that people will trade freedom for security, as long as it’s someone else’s freedom. Where the constitution is involved, however, the freedom is never someone else’s. If you were accused of a crime, which of your rights would you discard?

Letters

Editor: I am writing, as on previous occasions, to criticize the classification of inmates being housed in the Chilliwack Community Correctional Centre but with a different slant. The director of this facility, Kenneth Glen Mattinson, was disturbed in the past that I had mentioned the secrecy in placing a violent sex offender by Corrections Canada in a Mission mobile home park which culminated in a very violent death of a young girl who also resided in the park by that offender. Mattinsons’ defence of inmates being accepted in the local centre, as well as his previous time at Sumas Centre in Abbotsford which was closed after a history of crimes in the community by Sumas Centre inmates and relocated here, is to explain that the local Citizens Advisory Committee and RCMP are provided with complete information concerning an inmate being considered for acceptance to the centre. It has been proven in the past, on more than one occasion, that despite negative reaction by the committee to a particular candidate, Corrections Canada “makes the decision” despite promises to the contrary. Now, that said, with the Oct. 4 arrest of Mattinson and charges of committing two counts of offering an indignity to human remains and two counts of breaches of trust while employed previously as a coroner with the B.C. Coroners Office which he is said to have “retired” from (after criminal investigations were launched) I find the hypocrisy in this matter to be astounding. How does an individual formerly in a public position of trust under investigation for criminal offences involving sexual perversion be placed in the top position of a Federal Correctional facility housing sex offenders amongst its population? He has not been convicted and yet to stand trial, but surely Corrections Canada were alerted to the matter prior to his appointment considering mandatory police clearance in federal employment and Corrections Canada and the RCMP are under the same umbrel-

Spending like a drunken sailor Editor: Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said last Tuesday the government racked up a deficit of $55.6 billion in the last fiscal year, nearly $2 billion higher than forecast. It’s the biggest annual deficit posted by a federal government in Canadian history. At this point, our national debt, which is an accumulation of federal goverment overspending, now stands at an unfathomable $543 billion and because of the interest we are obliged to pay on it, is escalating at a rate of $1,000 per second. By the time (2015/16) Jim Flaherty plans on balancing our yearly fiscal budget, this national debt will exceed far beyond $700 billion— which may be an optimistic forecast. Just to put this accumulated debt in perspective, if every man, woman and child in our country were to pay the government approximately $16,000 we could wipe out the national debt—but it would have to be done quickly before the interest on it escalates it any further. Isn’t it ironic that Stephen Harper, who is educated in economics, is spending like a drunken sailor—and

Jim Flaherty, a lawyer, is in charge of the purse strings? Jack Stewart Chilliwack

Saviour needed for downtown Editor: I was reading the mission statement of the BIA, which in part goes like this: “to lead a co-operative effort in revitalizing and enhancing the down town of Chilliwack.” Well they got half of it right, it seems Ms. Funk and comapny forget that downtown does extend east of Young Road, it seems all the revitalizing takes place west of Young Road. Why is this Ms. Funk? I have talked with many business people that do exist east of Young. They have very few, if any, nice words about the BIA, and apparently if one wants to have a business in this burg, you have to join the BIA. If this is indeed true, then why? Are we not in a democratic country? Why would a person have to join and pay dues, fees or whatever to this organization? They’ve done wonders on the west side of Young, but it’s a wasteland east of Young, and the city let’s them get away with it. Our so-called city goverment and the BIA have been saying for years it will come, well maybe west of Young, but nowhere else. Between the city and BIA they can’t even run a decent bus service. Maybe it’s time for Ms. Funk and company to fold their tents and move to Sardis, or better yet, to Yarrow. Let’s see what you can do for those folks. Give the folks downtown

a break. I have lived here almost all of my life, the downtown has never looked as bad as it does now. Ron Anderson Chilliwack

Uninformed about transit Editor: Each time the light rail issue has been brought up Mayor Sharon Gaetz hasn’t had any more insight than to say rail crossings would cost the city $500,000 each. Upper Prairie Road is shortly getting one of these new crossings and after the government’s contributions the bill to the city is actually $44,000. I have nothing against Mayor Gaetz, but I also know that Chilliwack council is totally uninformed when it comes to rail. There are already three studies recommending it. The Rail For the Valley one is just the most recent, and council hasn’t done anything positive. The experts have said to put together a pilot project and Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford are working toward this goal with the South of the Fraser Community Rail Task Force. Meanwhile, Chilliwack council is ignoring this and we really risk being excluded from the eventual rail network. Please, Mayor Gaetz, there is now more then enough data that firmly supports light rail. Chilliwack deserves a lot better transportation then you’re giving us. Nick Wimpney Chilliwack

et’s just call it a supernatural hat trick. Ryan Howse scored three goals in less than a minute Saturday as he and his Chilliwack Bruins beat the Vancouver Giants 6-3 at Prospera Centre. Robin Soudek put the Bruins ahead 1-0 with 13 seconds to go in the first period—the Bruins have now scored first in each of their nine games this season—before Howse took over eight minutes into the second. With the Vancouver Giants down two men, Howse picked up the puck on the right side near the goal line, waltzed into the faceoff circle and wristed a shot past Giants netminder Brendan Jensen. Just 38 seconds later, and after another Giant had been sent to the sin bin, Howse one-timed a shot past Jensen from the exact same location as his previous goal. Nineteen seconds after that goal, Howse took a pass from Roman Horak and scored his third in as many breaths. The rapid-fire hat trick set a franchise record but fell short of the alltime WHL record of three goals in 24 seconds, set by Jim Harrison of the

seal the victory for the locals. On Friday, the Bruins fell 4-3 to the Kelowna Rockets. Kelowna starter Jordon Cooke stymied the Bruins throughout the game, and Colton Sissons scored the winner with 30 seconds to go in the second period to give the Rockets the win. The Bruins lost more than the game, however. Dylen McKinlay was helped off the ice after he was the victim of a kneeon-knee hit by Kelowna defenceman Mitchell Chapman. Chapman was handed a five-minute kneeing penalty on the play and a game misconduct, but not before having to scrap with Bruin defender Habscheid. Chapman was issued an immediate suspension, with the length to be determined Monday or Tuesday. The Bruins are also waiting to learn how long McKinlay—who sat out Saturday’s game—will be gone. His absence, however long it may be, will put more pressure on the Bruins’ second and third lines to step up and start scoring. Through nine games, the Bruins have scored 35 goals, of which Howse has contributed 14 and linemates Roman Horak and Robin Soudek have combined for 10.

Silver lining for golfers

hilliwack’s Aaron Pauls led the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades to a second-place finish at the 2010 CCAA men’s golf national championships, held at the Dunes, in Kamloops. The Cascades finished the three-day tournament with a team score of 886, 38-strokes behind the CCAA National Champion Humber College Hawks (OCAA). The CCAA Bronze Medal went to Georgian College Grizzles (OCAA) with a score of 896. The Cascades previously won the 2007 CCAA and 2008 CCAA bronze medal. They finished in fourth place last year. “I’m really proud of this group of guys for going out and performing under some very challenging conditions this week,” said coach Chris Bertram. “Finishing second in the nation is quite an accomplishment and speaks to the quality of talent we have in this program.” Pauls, who shot a three day total of 219, good for seventh overall out of 105 participating golfers, was the Cascades’ top golfer at the championship. David Lang of Humber College, was the individual champion with a score of 206. Bertram has led the UFV Cascades men’s golf program to two straight BCCAA Provincial titles (2008 and 2009). In the current BCCAA regular season, he has the Cascades just three strokes off a third consecutive title with one event remaining. Since Bertram took over the team six seasons ago, the team has amassed an impressive 10 tournament championships, eight silver medals, and remarkably has only finished outside of the podium on three occasions. Under Bertram’s guidance, the team has been called to the Abbotsford Sports Wall of Fame for an incredible three years running. More recently, Bertram was asked to coach Team BC, Canada’s sole representative at the Taiwan 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 group of players who have stuck it out through the tough times, and the UFV administration for believing in and supporting the program from day one.” “Chris has done a great job in leading our UFV Cascades golf program,” said Rick Nickelchok, UFV athletic director. “I am very proud of Chris and it is great to see his colleagues recognize his hard work.”

on’t tell Sam Dueck that man wasn’t meant to fly. Don’t tell his parents either. The 18-year-old Sardis secondary grad wants to be the best in the world at flying through the air on top of, and sometimes underneath, a mountain bike. It’s a skyhigh goal matched only by the air Dueck gets when he wheels his mountain bike off a jump. Dueck’s recent fourth-place slopestyle showing at Whistler Crankworx, one of the world’s largest freestyle mountain bike events, is just the latest in a string of stellar results for the young man with the easy smile. And while a year-and-a-half of top10 finishes around North America hasn’t allowed him to quit laying down hardwood floors with his father, it has garnered him a coveted sponsorship with bike manufacturer Norco and contacts within the tightly knit freestyle community. It has also got his mother Leslie to finally start prioritizing mountain bike jumping over 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, you HAVE to practise tomorrow.’” For Dueck, practice looks an awful lot like play. He doesn’t have a coach, a nutritionist or a sports psychologist. Instead, he rides with friends, watches video of his heroes, and tries to replicate their mid-air antics. It started with a stalled development adjacent to Dueck’s Greendale home. A developer had dumped a load of dirt on the property and then left it there for a year and a half. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for local kids—including Dueck—to start competing to see who could jump their bikes further over the pile. “After a while the handlebars on my bike were bent all the way down,” Dueck remembers. The pile of dirt disappeared after more than a year and Dueck also moved on. He saved up money, bought a proper mountain bike and began riding on Vedder Mountain. Later he and his friends turned the site of his uncle’s trucking company into their own practice facility, building gradually larger jumps and flying progressively higher. It continues to this day.

Fusion keep Strikers off score card

hilliwack Silver Strikers had plenty of opportunities but failed to beat the opposing keeper as they fell 1-0 to the visiting Coquitlam Fusion on Sunday in U15 girls soccer action. The locals got off to an uncharacteristically slow start, allowing the Fusion to penetrate the 18 on numerous drives early in the first half. The Strikers finally got their playing legs but a little too late as the visitors opened the scoring after a goal mouth scramble at the 10-minute mark. The game settled into a midfield battle for possession, with midfielders

10191121

Alexis Ray, Elena Schroots, and Rhiannon Dunphy forcing a number of turnovers, allowing forwards Emma Haagensen and Emily Finley attacking chances that just missed. The Strikers dominated the second half. The pressure paid off with no less than three breakaways (Taylor Allan, Makayla Pfeifer and Kelsey DeGroot) and four crosses to the open side, (Kiana Theissen and Brett Karicoglu) but the girls were unable to capitalize. The U15 girls are on the road next Sunday to play the Ladner Strikers.

Attack blank Tornadoes A pair of late goals propelled the Chilliwack Attack to a 2-0 victory over the North Coquitlam Tornadoes in U15 girls gold soccer action. After a tight second half during which neither team got a sniff at goal, the Attack began pushing forward in the second. Jenna Snow sprang Mackenzie Graham with a through ball. Graham made no mistake to put the Attack ahead at the 71-minute mark. Five minutes later Sydney Steeves crossed the ball to Krista Bartel, who volleyed in an insurance goal.

Tyler Olsen/TIMES

Chilliwack’s Sam Dueck began jumping his bike off a dirt pile at a vacant Greendale property. Now he’s riding with his sport’s best—and often beating them. DUECK, from page 12 “Every year it progresses,” says Dueck. “It started out with shovels, hand digging little jumps and now it’s to the point where we brought the big excavator back and the bulldozer.” Last year, Dueck finally felt ready to compete. So he entered a popular freestyle mountain bike competition in Creston called Goat Style. The event is open to all talent levels but in a moment of hubris, Dueck entered the pro category. Far from being embarrassed, Dueck placed second and earned a chance to participate in a Crankworx competition in Colorado. There, despite being initially intimidated by the sheer scale of the jumps, Dueck put together a run that vaulted him into fifth place and above numerous professionals. Entering this year as a member of Norco’s factory team, Dueck has finished in the top 10 of every competition he entered. In November will leave for

Sheer thrills California for an invitation-only competition/ party hosted by one of the sport’s best. Dueck says he was drawn to jumping because of the sense of freedom, the ability to constantly improve, and the sheer thrill that comes with flying a bike. “Getting air just feels like the coolest thing ever,” he says. “It just gets better when you can do a trick out of it.” He’s also following in the footsteps of his father, a pioneering freestyle skier who knows just how hard the ground can be. Gord Dueck broke his back while doing a backflip. Now his son is performing the same trick on a bike. Check out Friday’s Times to learn what it’s like watching your son fly when you know the consequences of a bad landing.

Original property likely not available now CENTRE, from page 1 “while things were being assembled, there was an offer already in place.” She said the property has been “potentially sold.” Janzen and other members of her health contact centre committee were slated to meet with Les Monday afternoon to determine how to proceed. They will also discuss other properties that may fit the bill for a health contact centre. Les, for one, wants to know why the Traders Inn property wasn’t bought as soon as the B.C. Housing commitment was made. “Somebody, somewhere has got to figure out why that didn’t happen after that commitment was in place,” he

said. There is no assurance, he said, that the promised funding will still be available. “You get your ducks all lined up and when any of them falls, then it’s often back to square one,” he told the Times. Janzen is also worried, but hopes that if another property can be identified soon, the money will still be available. She noted that B.C. Housing often has a limited amount of money to spend and a limited list of properties that it can support. “The point here is to make sure we continue to be on this list,” said Janzen. She said both Les and B.C. Housing have been invaluable partners through the process, which began more than three years ago when the contact centre was first proposed.

“I’m very happy with B.C. Housing and where we’re sitting with them,” she said. The centre is crucial, Janzen and Gaetz said, especially in light of last week’s report in Maclean’s magazine, which ranked Chilliwack as the ninth most “crime-ridden” city in the country. Janzen noted housing, mental health, addiction and crime and public safety issues are all linked. “You cannot fix addiction and mental health and homelessness issues unless you really deal with the affordable housing issue,” she said. “And vice versa is also true. You can provide housing, but you also need to provide wrap-around services for individuals who are struggling. It’s that kind of one-two combination that is going to be successful.”

Spook-tacular wedding BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

Cornelia Naylor/TIMES

Owners Gary and Lisa Moran give their new ghostly cathedral at Reapers Haunted Attraction a matrimonial trial run. At the end of the month, the attraction will host its first wedding when Erik Laflamme and Lisa Collins, a pair of self-proclaimed Halloween nuts from North Vancouver, tie the knot surrounded by ghoulish guests.

he Corpse Bride and the Pumpkin King are getting ready to be joined in ghoulish matrimony at the Reapers Haunted Attraction in Chilliwack this Halloween. It’s not for every couple, but to Erik Laflamme and Lisa Collins of North Vancouver, the spooky venue on Gibson Road seemed like the perfect place to tie the knot. “It’s one of the best haunted houses on the West Coast for starters,” said Laflamme. The couple are a pair of self-proclaimed Halloween nuts who set up their own haunted house in North Van every year, so when Laflamme proposed to Collins at the wedding of some friends just over a year ago, plans for a Halloween wedding were in the works before their friends’ reception was even over. At first they envisioned a celebration in the style of director Tim Burton’s musical stop-motion-animation films The Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas but have since decided not to stifle selfexpression amongst their wedding party and guests. “Halloween is kind of a time where you get to present your alter ego to the rest of the world,” said Laflamme. So, while Collins will come to the altar as the Corpse Bride and Laflame as Jack Skellington—complete with pin-striped suit, bat bowtie and stitches for lips— the rest of the company are invited to

News

Other surgeries just as risky HOPE, from page 3 “I became very disillusioned with the medical profession and the neurologists and the MS clinic in general,” she said. “They just push drugs. “My MS doctor is giving me options with really serious health risks and on the other hand not allowing me to have really simple balloon angioplasty with very little risk.” The MS Society of Canada and the National MS Society (U.S.) has committed $2.4 million to support seven research projects focused on the relationship between CCSVI and MS. And on Sept. 16, the MS Society announced a further $1 million to be set aside for a “panCanadian therapeutic clinical trial” if and when such a trial is approved. In August, Braun finally got the procedure done in Germany and spent about $7,000 of her own money doing so. The surgery is simple enough that it was done without anasthetic. She said while it wasn’t painful, it was extremely uncomfortable. Her improvements haven’t been as dramatic as some others have reported, but neither has her condition worsened. And when you live with MS, small improvements can mean a lot. “[My husband] told me now when he holds my hand it feels real,” she said. “‘Because sometimes when I held your hands it was like holding a mannequin’s hand.’ And I do have more energy; I don’t get as tired as quickly.” In September, Braun and her husband went to a Chilliwack Bruins game one Saturday night. Usually the one-kilometre walk from her house would be too far and her husband would drop her off and come park at home. They were late this day so she said “I can walk.”

“We actually walked the kilometre and because we were late I was hoofing it and he was telling me to slow down,” she said. “Halfway we got to the curling rink and he said, ‘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 placebo effect and said she is quite skeptical. But she is certain she can do things now that she couldn’t before and her circulation seems to have improved. For Braun, the issue is less about her results and her MS than it is about gatekeepers and specialists that seem to refuse to look outside their narrow professions at other potential causes. “It took a vascular surgeon to come up with this because he happened to have a wife with MS,” she said. The MS Society said that the schedule of planned research has been implemented incredibly quickly in the case of CCSVI and MS, much more so than would have normally taken place. But for Braun and others, the issue is also about the comparison of risks the medical industry tolerates in other procedures and drug use. “A woman can go in and have breast implants if she wants, which I consider a fairly invasive procedure and comes with a whole bunch of health risk,” she said. “Yet I can’t even go to [a clinic] and say ‘My veins are narrowed, can you please open them up,’ even though I’m willing to pay for it.”

Harrison still the hot place to be for festivals this fall

he summer crowds have gone and a gentle calm settles in the Village of Harrison Hot Springs. Dramatic fall colours, spas, eco-tours, golf, hiking or a quiet paddle on the lake; it is the perfect time of year to plan an escape. And if visitors need more than one reason to visit Harrison Hot Springs this season, there is a bountiful harvest of festivals and events to fill the fall days: a oneman comedy show, a spectacular eagle festival where thousands of raptors congregate, a photographic evening and a classical music concert to herald the holidays. Lorne Elliott – Oct. 22 Leaving a trail of laughter wher-

ever he performs, Canadian comedian Lorne Elliott knows how to hit your funny bone, and hit it hard. Having performed across the world, from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia, Lorne is taking his one-man show across British Columbia. Join in the laughter as Lorne returns to Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa on Oct. 22, to perform “The Upside of the Downturn.” Tickets are $20 and can be purchased through the Harrison Festival Society. www. harrisonfestival.com.

Youth parliament seeks nominations

he British Columbia Youth Parliament is after 95 fine young men and women to visit Victoria this Christmas, debate important service projects to benefit the youth of the province, and put those plans in place in 2011. From now until the end of October, BCYP is calling on community and youth leaders across the province to nominate exceptional young people to take part in this important opportunity. “BCYP is education and community service in action,” says Karen Ratchford, premier of the upcoming session of BCYP. “We’re after young people who want to learn more about our system of government, make life-long friends, and take part in projects that benefit our province’s youth. And we’re asking community leaders, elected officials, and others to think about young people who’d be great members of this organization and put their names forward.” The Br itish Columbia Youth Parliament is a nonpartisan, non-demoninational service organization.

BCYP plans, fundraises for, and puts in place service projects that help improve the lives of young people. These include a weeklong summer camp for underprivileged children, partnerships with community service organizations, regional model parliaments, and individual youth volunteer projects. BCYP members spend time at the BC Legislature in Victoria between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve every year to debate and vote on the organization’s proposed activities and issues of local, national, and international importance. All members sit as independents, and are free to vote according to their conscience on the issues. Potential BCYP members will be between 16 and 21 years of age; residents of the province for the past year; able to commit to a year’s worth of service; and be interested in learning more about how our democratic system works. ◗ More information and membership applications are available on-line at www. bcyp.org.

Versatility that sticks to the roof of your mouth

s a child, I remember when I first discovered the taste of a peanut butter and banana sandwich and wondered how many others knew about this phenomenon. The contrasting flavours of salty nuttiness and the sweetness opened up a whole new world for me. I then started searching for other ways to indulge my newly established passion for peanut butter. Spreading a spoonful of it on each bite of an apple was my favourite. My fascination with peanut butter has matured since then, and I have discovered many ways to use this household pantry staple. The most important thing to keep in mind however, is the growing number of peanut allergies in people. Always inquire with dinner guests to discov-

lesterol) without lowering HDL-cholesterol (the good one). If the healthy aspect is your focus however, you are much better off with natural peanut butters where the ingredients are just peanuts. Peanut butters that are not natural may contain unhealthy artificially produced trans-fats, which have been linked to increases in LDL-cholesterol. The first alternate use for peanut butter that comes to mind is for making sauces and/or dressings. Use it as a base in a spicy peanut dressing for your favorite salad, or in a peanut sauce for your next stir-fry. There are many recipes available to successfully accomplish these ideas. For a fantastic finishing touch make sure that the garnish for these dishes include a handful of roasted

On Cooking er any allergies you may not be aware of before planning a menu. Peanut butter has been in existence for hundreds of years and is a regular food item in over 70 per cent of households. Peanut butter, in moderation, is a good part of a balanced diet and a source of protein. Although it contains a large amount of fat, approximately 80 per cent of the fat content is unsaturated. Unsaturated fats have been proven to help reduce levels of LDLcholesterol (the bad cho-

peanuts. For added dimension of flavour in chili, soups and stews, a tablespoon or two of peanut butter is fantastic. One substitution that always keeps me reaching for the peanut butter, is to replace tahini. I love Greek hummus (ground chick pea dip), and it usually requires a sesame paste called tahini. Since I hardly ever have tahini on hand, peanut butter is a wonderful alternative. It is the same consistency as tahini, and the flavour depth that the peanut butter adds to the recipe is incredible. In addition to these uses there are many desserts that feature the wonderful taste of peanut butter. I cannot stress enough to take advantage of the free resources like the library and the Inter-

come this is simple. We have a toaster oven and once the bread has been toasted, we place a serving of peanut butter on each piece and put it back in the warmed oven for approximately 30 seconds (with the toaster oven off). Alternatively if you don’t own a toaster oven, just microwave a portion for a few seconds. The old school way would be to plan ahead and leave some out at room temperature before breakfast time hits.

Have fun trying these suggestions, but if all else fails there is still one use that you can rely on: the next time you have a case of the hiccups, swallowing a tablespoon of peanut butter will usually eliminate them. Dear Chef Dez: I like buying natural peanut butter for the health aspect of it, but because I have to store it in the refrigerator it is terrible for trying to spread on toast. Any suggestions?

Quality parts with fair pricing.

You get to design it any way you want!

Buny’s N’ Bugs "rst started in 1997 when Clara Hooper realized the need in Chilliwack for an honest, reliable Volkswagen Repair Shop that treated all their customers fairly, especially women and the rest, as they say, is history. Clara chooses to be an Independent Volkswagen Repair Shop and Parts Store. By specializing in Volkswagens only, she is able to save her customers time and money. The technicians focus on Volkswagens only which ensures that customers get the best technicians for their cars at all times. Keeping the overhead low meant her customers would bene"t from lower shop rates Clara Hooper then a dealership would charge, while providing excellent quality parts and service. Clara already knew that the quality in parts and reliability would never be sacri"ced. German vehicles require German parts and OEM part manufacturers.

Color Me Mine is a new “paint-

Clara also recognized the community need for quality parts with fair pricing for those that like to do their own repairs. Buny’s N’ Bugs’ philosophy is simple: We support the people that support us with tips and advice if you buy your parts from us. Clara made sure to forge relationships with numerous quality parts manufacturers and suppliers to provide an ever increasing supply of parts. She has sought out vintage, performance and aftermarket parts for those customers wanting something a little different then stock. They keep over $70,000 in inventory of new parts for all Volkswagen 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 shops in the Lower Mainland. They are happy to ship parts all across Canada to their retail and wholesale customers. Buny’s N’ Bugs have expanded many times since they opened.

Vivian, with her experience as an elementary school teacher, had always wanted to do something creative and fun as a business. When she ran across Color Me Mine, she was hooked. Vivian is thrilled to bring this dynamic arts and crafts phenomenon to Chilliwack. “It’s so easy; anyone of any age can come and paint his or her own ceramic pieces – even the little ones!” says Vivian. It’s taken two years from Vivian’s initial “Wow, I love this idea!” to getting the doors open. “I chose the Color Me Mine Franchise because I was looking for a business that had a lot of support. With the franchise I don’t have to worry about marketing or branding the concept or deciding how the store should look. Corporate Color Me Mine and Joe Akl, the Master Franchisor for Canada, has been at my side the whole time.” Vivian is more than pleased with the response so far.

Don’t lose track of your company’s money C

ash-flow management is at the heart of every business, and that’s doubly true in the rough and tumble world of retailing.Here,the line between liquidity and bankruptcy can be razor thin. Just ask Alexandre Bastide,President of Underworld Skateboard. The young entrepreneur opened his first store in Montreal in 1995 when he was just 19,and since then has seen many of his competitors close shop.The reasons were all too common,Bastide says. “No business plan,buying without a budget,buying too much inventory,”says Bastide,whose company sells skateboards,accessories and apparel.“Heck,I wasn’t much better prepared when I started.I relied on my instinct,not a budget,for my first few years.It worked,but I was fortunate.” Bastide has since opened a second store in Vancouver and is now evangelical about managing cash flow.He says he’s had little choice at a time of demanding suppliers, extra-cautious bankers and intense competition from big-box stores. One of his key strategies is to develop excellent relationships with suppliers—a prerequisite for negotiating better payment terms during cash-crunch periods. The observation that cash is king

Tips for building your cash flow

1.Develop a cash-flow planner and track cash throughout the month 2. Closely monitor financial statements 3. Build good relationships with customers and suppliers 4. Collect payments faster and pursue late bills 5. Focus on inventory management and product offerings 6. Use debt, not working capital, to finance fixed assets 7.Use a line of credit, or your own money, to increase your working capital 8. Refinance your fixed assets 9.Cut waste and streamline operations 10. Get external advice in business is hardly new.That’s supposed to be Business 101 stuff. Indeed,you can Google“cash flow management”and within the 367,000 results you will find lots of sound,practical advice on all your cash flow problems. Then again,maybe not. “All that information won’t do your company much good if you don’t understand how money flows

in and out of your specific business,” cautions Edmée Métivier,Executive Vice President,Financing and Consulting,at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC).“There are a lot of recipes out there for managing cash flow,but where too many entrepreneurs fail is in understanding how to adapt those recipes to fit their particular business.” As a first step,Métivier says com-

panies need to understand and embrace three principles of cash flow: 1.Understand how cash flows in and out of your company,and how that fluctuates throughout the year. 2.Establish,and continuously update,a 12-month cash flow projection.Think of this forecast as an early warning system that will help you have enough cash on hand to

ride out slow periods. 3.If you don’t understand 1 and 2,get expert advice.Your business depends on it. Put simply,positive cash flow means having more money flowing into your business than flowing out. Business 101 stuff for sure,yet not having enough cash on hand to pay bills is still one of the most common reasons companies fail. “There are some basics of business that you just can’t miss,and unfortunately too many people do,”says Peter Brown,National Leader,Private Company Services at Deloitte. Brown stresses that no company is immune from the impact of a recession or a fluctuating Canadian dollar.But for most businesses,cash flow is generally predictable. “It’s important to monitor the key indicators in your business—things like your bank account balance, accounts receivable turnover,inventory turnover and sales growth,” he says.“Paying close attention to these metrics on a daily basis will help predict whether your company will have a cash issue or not.” There are practical ways to prepare for cyclical cash shortages. Métivier says companies can,for example,offer customers discounts for paying invoices early.

People, vehicles and a good work ethic

Players take time out for Chilliwack fans.

By the age of 25, Doug Davies had his Certi"cate of Apprenticeship and Certi"cate of Quali"cations as an Automotive Mechanical Repairman. Doug was also trained and worked in the heavy-duty truck industry for four years before moving into becoming an automatic transmission specialist. In 1975, Doug started L&D Automatic Transmission; with just a businesses partner and a good idea. In 1981 Doug bought out his partner and has been the sole owner ever since. “For me it’s about going above and beyond what your customers expect.” Says Doug. “Always give a little bit extra – that’s been my philosophy since we started, and it’s worked for us all these years”. Doug now employs three transmission technicians, Trevor, Len and Wes.

Sports and Stuff is one of

Chilliwack’s most community minded businesses. Every year hundreds of kids from all over the Fraser Valley get to meet their sports heroes. This past spring Canuck player Mason Raymond drew more than 500 people to the store; and just recently Alex Burrows of the Canucks signed over 400 autographs at Sports and Stuff. Over the summer, BC Lions players Casey Printers, Travis Lulay and Emmanuel Arceneaux took time out of their busy schedules to spend the afternoon at Sports and Stuff signing autographs and meeting their fans.

Doug Davies

As they celebrate our 35th year in business, the professionals at L&D Automatic Transmission know that you work hard for your money and we want to earn your business by working hard for you. Their goal is to continue to provide the best service and parts replacement possible. You rely on your vehicle to get you to and from work and to get you away on those weekend retreats. They understand this at L&D; therefore use only quality replacement parts at fair prices. Doug is proud to have served Chilliwack and area for the past 35 years. People, vehicles, and a good work ethic is what L&D Automatic Transmission is all about. They pride themselves on great service both before and after any major repair. Doug would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Chilliwack, for making L&D a part of your driving force in the automotive "eld. Doug’s team of trained transmission specialists is on hand to help you with any questions and guide you through the repair process to make sure you aware of the procedures required to get you up and running as quickly as possible. “The Esso station in front of us sells gasoline; Tim Hortons sells coffee and doughnuts; we specialize in selling and servicing transmissions. Next time you’re in need of transmission service, why not give us a try!”

Rick, Wendy & Adam Lovell It wasn’t always this way. Rick Lovell, a lifelong sports fan decided to open a store selling sports team memorabilia. In 2002 he started out with a small 300 square foot store in Chilliwack Mall 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. Since then, Sports and Stuff has moved across the hall in Chilliwack Mall and has expanded twice. Rick now has almost 2,000 square feet packed with every imaginable sports memorabilia product available! “It’s hard to keep up with all the new stock coming in every day,” says Rick we need more space!” While they don’t plan on expanding again right away, the idea is de"nitely in the works for sometime in the future. Finding a niche and creative marketing is how Rick explains his extreme success. “We have our website and get lots of orders from the States and overseas” says Rick. “And being able to get the BC Lions to come to the store has been invaluable. We’ve developed a set of priorities in our business – to be more than just a retail store – to give back to the community. For Rick and his family, it’s about keeping our kids active. “Sports is an important part of growing up,” says Wendy, Rick’s wife, “team sports are good for kids, they learn to cooperate, to be part of something bigger than themselves.” If you’re looking for team sports memorabilia, whether hockey, football or baseball, chances are you’ll "nd what you’re looking for at Sports and Stuff, at a great price!

To book your appointment, come see us at 45575 Yale Road West, behind the Esso station. We’re open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. Give us a call at 604-792-4409.

Sports and Stuff is located in Chilliwack Mall and are open Mondays to Wednesdays & 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- 858-2614 or visit www.sportandstuff2ya.com. 10199005

After practicing for a number of years in India, Harpal and his wife, Devinder decided to immigrate to Canada and landed Dr. H. Mann, DVM in Canada along with their two children in June of 2000. It took approximately three and a half years for Harpal to get licensed to practice veterinary medicine in Canada. He now holds the Canadian DVM Degree. The children are Rohtash, their son, who is a high school student at RTMS and Supreet, their daughter, who is attending UFV. “The kids love it here, and we 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 for animals directed him to become a veterinarian. “Animals give us so much,” says Harpal, “it’s only "tting that I am able to give back in such an essential way.” The compassion towards his furry friends is evident; the hospital is staffed with knowledgeable and friendly people ready to assist in any way. Pumba, one of the hospital’s two resident cats, sleeps lazily in the waiting area, ready for a rub; while the other cat, Timone, prefers to stay in the back keeping an eye on the patients. Dr. Mann has restricted his practice to small animals only, mainly canine and feline. Celebrating his sixth Anniversary, 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 examinations for pets over seven years of age, every Tuesday and Thursday throughout October and November. Contact them for more information. Menzies Pet Hospital can be reached at 604-792-3399; they are located at 9701 Menzies Street and are open seven days a week; Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturdays & Sundays 9am to 5pm. 10198414

Have an action plan when hiring

s 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 talent ahead of their competitors. For starters, if you had to lay off 10 people during the recession, don’t assume you need fill those same 10 positions, says Mary Karamanos, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Business Development Bank of Canada . “The number of positions isn’t what’s important, it’s coming up with a recruitment plan that identifies the skills, knowledge and experience your organization needs,”says Karamanos.“You may find out that it’s not really 10 you need. Maybe it’s 15 working differently or eight working in areas that are more strategic to your business.” There are also many options that entrepreneurs have. For example, you may want to consider hiring certain employees as short-term contractors or even evaluate the impact of outsourcing certain functions, such as IT or accounting.The demand for part-time positions and flexible schedules is growing among parents of young children, people going to school part-time and retirees looking to work a few days each week. “Businesses need to think outside the box because people are working differently. It’s driven a lot by personal need and want, but it’s good for companies as well. It really opens up the talent pool that’s available,” says Karamanos. A good recruitment plan should assess

Tips for recruiting new hires

1. Develop a recruitment plan that assesses the skills your company needs 2. Be clear on job responsibilities and experience/education required 3. Look to the United States for talent 4. Don’t hire based on your intuition 5. Be open to flexible work arrangements 6. Be innovative with compensation and rewards 7. Understand the different expectations of younger and older workers the skills, capabilities and attitudes your company will need over both the shortand long-term, says Prof. Daniel Muzyka, Dean of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. Companies also shouldn’t try to hire everyone they need at once. “There’s a sequence in which you need people,”says Muzyka.“Be clear in your own mind about what sort of skills you really need first and what can wait.” And lastly, if you’re tapping your competitors for talent there’s a good chance they’re eyeing your top performers as well.There is no shortage of things companies can do to retain employees: training and development, flexible employment and innovative compensations and rewards (e.g. extended vacations and profit sharing). However, such perks will mean little unless employees feel happy and empowered in their jobs.
