RCMP have identified the Abbotsfordman found shot to death Thursdaymorning as the father of Surrey Six
victim Eddie Narong.Thayone Narong, 49, was found by
Abbotsford police in his late-model ToyotaCamry in the 3000 block of Charles Courtabout 6:30 a.m. Thursday.
The Camry came to rest in a driveway afterrolling into a parked Ford Mustang.
Investigators are still trying to piece togetherexactly what happened, but early reportsindicate a manwearing a dark-coloured hoodieshot Narong atclose range and then fled the scene on foot.
“At this point of the investigation, investiga-tors are attempting to track down all associatesof Narong to see what, if anything, they can tellus,” Integrated Homicide Investigation Teamspokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr said in a release.
“There is nothing to suggest that this homi-cide has any links to the Surrey Six investiga-tion other than the fact that the two victimsare related.”

First reported @abbotsfordtimes.com
Abbotsford police have arrestedseven men on prostitution-
related charges as part of a johnsting operation recently.
Members of the department’sbike and beat squads implementedthe two-day project in responseto ongoing concerns from localbusinesses and residents regardingthe sex trade in the downtown andClearbrook Road areas.
Police set out to target men whobuy sex from woman suffering fromdrug addiction, Sgt. Casey Vinetsaid.
“We are happy with the results butalso recognize the persistent natureof the problem,” he said.
The men arrested were from24 to 63 years old. Five of thosearrested are Abbotsford residents,one is from Mission and one from
Calgary. Vinet said investigatorsdetermined through interviews thatthe men were not first-time con-sumers of sex for money from streetprostitutes, and often purchased sexin other cities.
The men arrested during theproject were released on appear-ance notices, and depending onthe circumstances and backgroundof each offender, Vinet said that
individuals may be given the optionto attend “john school.”
Vinet described the school as aprogram designed to educate menapprehended by police who attemptto purchase sex, or have previouslypurchased sex.
The hope, he said, is that by teach-ing the legal and health effects ofbuying sex and presenting the reali-ties of prostitution, police and sup-
porters of the program will reducethe demand.
Vinet warned that Abbotsfordpolice would be implementingmore stings in the near future.
“A warning to potential johns:if you are buying sex from streetprostitutes you should be aware theperson you are talking to may be apolice officer.”

Local Terry Fox runs collected morethan $10,000 – and counting – for can-cer research.Mission had about 100 runners comeout on Sunday, raising at least $5,743,said organizer Craig Grant. Partici-pants included some people who hadrun every year for the past 30 years,and one fellow who ran from Missionto Chilliwack and raised an additional$4,000 on his own, he said.In Abbotsford, the run (pictured at left)drew about 100 people to Mill Lake Parkand raised $5,800, said Erik Gottschalk.Typically the run draws between 50 to100 runners in Abbotsford, he said, buthe wasn’t sure what to expect becauseof competing events and late advertis-ing for the local run.The annual Abbotsford Police run(below) drew more than 800 par-ticipants on Sunday and raised at least$10,000 for three charities.

I t’s still unofficial, but the tally fromthe annual Mennonite CentralCommittee relief auction and fes-
tival will be more than $1 million forthe first time in its history.
“We are looking right now at $670,000so far,” raised at the Sept. 11 event, saidMCC B.C. communications directorAngelika Dawson. But the big story isthe event’s Penny Power drive.
An anonymous local donor pledgedto match up to $50,000 in donations to
the MCC penny drive. That was easilymet when the festival cyclathon’s 31cyclists, aged eight to 69 years, raisedmore than $50,000 for Penny Power.
On top of that, the Canadian Inter-national Development Agency, orCIDA, matches donations for overseasdevelopmental projects four to one,which will increase the Penny Powerdonations to at least $500,000, saidDawson.
And the tally is not complete, as vol-unteers are still counting and rollingdonated pennies from the drive.
“At the sale, they had already counted
and rolled $20,000,” Dawson said.The total may not be in for another
week or two. All the monies from thePenny Power component of the fes-tival will go to develop sand dams inKenya to create clean water sourcesfor locals.
■ MCC-BC will host a concert Sun-day to raise monies for flood relief inPakistan. Calvin Dyck and others willperform starting at 6:30 p.m. at theBakerview MB Church, at 2285 Clear-brook Rd., Abbotsford. The governmentwill match donations until Oct. 3.

E -mails, Facebook mes-sages and pamphletswere flying furiously
among Mission residents thisweekend as they drummedup participants for an anti-Walmart rally at City Hall lastnight.
They planned to voice theiropposition to a proposedSmart!Centres developmentand its potential Walmarttenant, arguing that themulti-national departmentchain is a business-killer andhas unethical business prac-tises.
In a rallying e-mail sentout on Sunday, Mission resi-dent and social activist KevinFrancis said locals are wary ofWalmart.
“I talked to almost everydowntown businessman andwoman yesterday, 95 per centwere against Walmart com-ing to Mission. I was amazedat the level of awareness ofthese business people asto the destructiveness ofWalmart to small towns. Sev-eral people said, ‘If Walmart
comes in, my business willgo under; I’ll go bankrupt,’ ”he wrote.
The development was tocome up for third readinglast night.
O p p o n e n t s s a y t h eSm a r t ! Ce n t re p r o p o s a lslipped by the public’s noticewhen it was brought beforecouncil at the end of sum-mer.
The council held a publichearing on Aug. 30 to changethe zoning of properties at31924 and 31970 LougheedHighway from commercialdealership to commercialretail zones, to facilitate adevelopment for Fraser Val-ley Shopping Centres Ltd.,that includes a 94,500-squarefoot store and four smallerretailers.
No potential tenants arenamed in the Aug. 30 staffreport, but its authors notethe proposal could have “animpact on the existing com-mercial businesses in Mis-sion.”
But they also noted thatstudies suggest Mission losesabout $100 million in “retailleakage” annually to othercommunities.
In his e-mails, Franciswarns that “Walmart is notan asset, it’s a liability.”

Students entered in 19 categories,ranging from visual and performing artsto career demonstrations to physicalactivities.
Along with successfully graduatingand attaining a B average in the special-ity area, the recipients had to complete100 hours on a project, create and keepa detailed log, as well as make a public
presentation or performance.The award is made up of a $500
cheque and a $500 voucher to be usedfor post-secondary education at anyapproved university, college or tradeschool in British Columbia.
These awards are funded by the Min-istry of Education’s Awards Program.The results from the end of June wereannounced at the Sept. 13 Abbotsfordboard of education meeting.
Overall, a total of 1,265 studentsacross the Abbotsford district achievedtheir Dogwood graduation certificateat the end of the school year, and thisincluded 19 adult Dogwoods and 41French Dogwoods.
Seven schools split 162 awards500 scholarships inthe past five years
Narong was known topolice, Abbotsford Policespokesperson Sgt. CaseyVinet confirmed.
“There was a July 1 arrest ofthe victim for uttering threatsand possession of a weapon,”Vinet said.
“We have had several neg-ative contacts with [ThayoneNarong] over the past year.”
Vinet would not commenton whether the interactionswith police involved gang-
related criminal activityor drugs, only adding that“nothing has been ruled out.Investigators will be dig-ging deeply into his back-ground.”
Carr said investigators areconducting a neighbour-hood enquiry campaign inan attempt to identify whatnearby residents can offerpolice.
An extensive and methodi-
cal ground search by mem-bers of the Lower MainlandDistrict Tactical Troop is alsounderway, Carr said.
“Looking for evidence inthe area of the murder.”
Saying that IHIT investiga-tors and police are still look-ing at a number of theoriesin relation to this homicide,Carr would not directly linkNarong’s murder to orga-nized criminal activity.
“At this point of the inves-tigation police have not beenable to establish any links togangs, drugs or organizedcrime,” Carr said.
“The murder certainly hasall the characteristics of atargeted homicide.”

A8 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 THE TIMES
The Abbotsford/Mission Timesis a division of Postmedia NetworkInc.We’re published Tuesdays andFridays from 30887 PeardonvilleRd., Abbotsford, B.C.
It seems that when it comes to BritishColumbia’s drunk drivers the carrotdidn’t work, so lawmakers are nowusing the whip.
New legislation regarding minimumpenalties and fines for drunk drivers andprolific speeders went into effect Monday,and are aimed at getting intoxicated motor-ists off the road immediately.
The plan is to hit them where govern-ment thinks it will hurt the most: theirwallets.
B.C. motorists will now face a 90-daydriving ban if they blow over 0.08 blood-alcohol level, have their car impounded forup to 30 days, pay up to $4,060 in fines andpenalties, and face criminal charges.
Some may balk or cry foul at what theysee as excessive fines and penalties, or agovernment cash grab. The Liberals aretouting them as the stiffest in the country.
But we say they could be even higher.Consider the other costs: policing, emer-
gency responders, health care, insuranceand most of all human.
What of the cost in human tragedy of los-ing a family member to a drunk driver?
And never mind a drunk driver who hasa history of getting behind the wheel of avehicle after drinking, but who has a historyof being charged with impaired driving andis still able to get back behind the wheel.
ICBC statistics show that between 2005and 2009, there were an average of 115drunk-driving deaths per year, and thoseinvolving high speed as a factor averaged155 deaths per year.
That’s at minimum 270 families tornapart because drivers in this provincecouldn’t get it through their heads not todrink and drive, or slow down and obeythe speed limit.
Maybe now B.C. drivers will think twicewhen it comes to driving drunk, or flyingthrough a school zone.
We hope so.

◗ Your view
This week’s question:With another targeted killing last week, how doesthe threat of gang violence affect your life?
a.] There are some neighbourhoods and businesses I avoid.b.] Myself/my kids try not to go outside as much at night.c.] It doesn’t.
VOTE NOW: www.abbotsfordtimes.com
Last week’s question:Should Terry Jones have been allowed to burn theQur’an without fear of retribution?
a.] Yes. It’s his right to free speech and public protest.
41 %
49 %b.] No. It crosses the line of decency and respect.
10%c.] He can burn, but it would earn serious repercussions.
Whenever he’s asked thesedays about next year’s ref-
erendum on the HST, PremierGordon Campbell keeps insistingthe vote “is not about me.”
Well, unfortunately for hisgovernment, it is likely that fora good chunk of the public, thereferendum will indeed be asmuch about his leadership as itis about a harmonized sales tax.
And therein lies the biggestchallenge of all when it comes toCampbell and the B.C. Liberalstaking something positive out ofthe referendum results.
In fact, convincing a majorityof British Columbians that theHST is not as bad for them as ithas been portrayed may be theeasiest part of the selling job forthe government.
Already, there is some evidenceattitudes towards the HST havesoftened somewhat – not to thepoint of the tax being popular oranything like that, but perhapsto the point where the somewhathysterical negative reaction to ithas calmed a bit.
An Ipsos-Reid online poll lastweek pegged the number ofthose who would vote to scrapthe HST at 65 per cent, a declinefrom several months ago whenmore than 80 per cent wanted itgone.
And two key industry spokes-people who were highly criticalof the HST before it was intro-duced – Ian Tostenson of the B.C.Restaurant and Food ServicesAssociation and Cameron Muirof the B.C. Real Estate Associa-
tion – have also slightly changedtheir tune on the matter inrecent weeks.
Nevertheless, even if morethan 50 per cent of the electorateeventually accepts the HST (or atleast don’t view it as some kindof heinous attack on their pock-etbook), it still doesn’t solve oneof the B.C. Liberal government’sbiggest problems: motivatingenough people to actually leavetheir homes, troop down to apolling station and vote in favourof a tax.
Consider these numbers.There are about three millionvoters. In the last election, a littlemore than 1.6 million voted andmore than 700,000 people signedthe anti-HST petition (althoughmore than 140,000 signatureswere ruled invalid).
If the turnout for the referen-dum is roughly the same as theone in the last election, morethan 800,000 people would haveto leave their homes en masseon one Saturday next fall andvote to keep the HST
That strikes me as an awfullyhigh bar for the government toget over. It’s not completely outof the question for enough peo-ple to vote in favour of the HST
to keep it, but the odds seemawfully long.
And compounding the prob-lem from the government’spoint of view is the inevitabilityof many, many people seeingthe referendum as the perfectvehicle to register their displea-sure and frustration with thegovernment – and particularlythe premier – over any numberof issues.
One wild card in all this specu-lation could be the fact thatmore than $2 billion in extrarevenue over the next three yearshas suddenly materialized, thuscreating the real possibility thatnext spring’s budget could con-tain significant tax cuts or somekind of financial rebate scheme(to go with the various onesalready in place).
But I’m not sure Campbell andthe B.C. Liberals can buy theirway back into the good graces ofenough people to save the HSTat this point.
After nine years in power, agovernment – and especiallya leader – can accumulate somuch bad baggage that theyinevitably sink. He may insistthe HST referendum is not abouthis leadership, but GordonCampbell may discover thatfor so many people, it is exactlyabout that – unless, of course, heresigns before the vote.

THE TIMES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 ❘ LETTERS ❘ A9
Editor, the Times:Abbotsford is under siege,
quite literally. This morningI woke up to gunshots in myown neighborhood, anothertargeted shooting.
Drug wars are taking theirtoll in this complacent com-munity. It would seem thata death or some individualcaught in the crossfire is theonly way to shake citizensout of their slumber. Thiscommunity has reachedits saturation level and thecrime is spilling over.
The local police have mysympathy, it must be frus-trating, rounding up thecriminals and then seeingthem back out on the street,doing business as usual,
I blame the courts, Iblame the advocates whoshield and protect theindividuals that would dothe most harm in our ownbackyards.
Where is B.C.’s system ofjustice? Has it failed us? Whyare the repeat offendersallowed to perpetrate theircrimes over and over again?

Separating needs andwants at Dunach
Editor, the Times:To our school district 34
trustees and administra-tion: at the beginning ofthis school year we took thetime to check your websiteand hear your vision forthe coming school year.superintendant MacRaetalked about “personal-
izing student learning”and “meaningful parentalinvolvement.” ChairpersonSchafer talked about “theamazing variety of choicesand choice programs forstudents [to] help meet theindividual learning need ofmany students and theirfamilies.” Hopefully, as adistrict, we can shoot forthe stars and try to “meet allstudents and their familieslearning needs.”
Dunach Elementaryand their kindergartenthrough Grade 7 opportu-nity is becoming a choiceschool option that unfortu-nately many families don’tknow exists anymore inAbbotsford.
Not every child is readyfor the big middle schoolmodel and neither is everyparent. Having grades sixand seven students in theelementary model allowsand encourages the oppor-tunity for all students todevelop leadership skills ina way that cannot exist inthe middle school model.This prepares every childfor a successful transition tohigh school and beyond.
As we offer and promoteacademic academies ofbaseball/softball, hockeyand soccer and a list of somany more, it is our con-cern that in the flashy and
trendy “innovation” that welose the heart and basis forschool education and wherethe grassroots learning thatour generation came from.Are the children at Dunachelementary not part of the“many” whose needs thedistrict hopes to meet?

Sounding off ononline voting
Editor, the Times:I am very concerned
about council’s decision tolook into online voting, youonly have to look at the con-
fusion and accusations offraud in the last U.S. presi-dential election to see thereare problems.
Basically, few humanbeings with a desire forpower can be trusted. Entryand exit polls were cre-ated as a means to keep theelection process as honestas possible whereas withelectronic voting there isnone of that, just search onGoogle ‘electronic votingfraud’ add the name ‘ClintCurtis’ and see for yourself.There are a lot of hackerswho frequently break into‘secure’ government andbanking sites, some for funbut mostly for profit, andwhat greater profit wouldthere be for those that seekpower within government?Whether that be a city or acountry.
While I would normallyrespect Councillor Gibson’sjudgement on many issues,on this I am quite certain heis wrong.
Even if I needed help toget to a polling station, Iwould sooner accept thathelp than use a computer.How would you know it wasme voting?
Also, not everyone has,can afford, or wants a com-puter.
I would ask council toconsider this very carefullyas once such a system is inplace it would be difficultto remove when others aremaking the decisions as‘absolute power corruptsabsolutely’.

So You Think You Can Dance Canada airsWednesday night on CTV, and Hart is hop-ing her Abbotsford fans will tune in and votefor her.
“I worked every bone in my body, and wentto every length possible to make this dreamcome true, and now that it’s actually a realityI am still taking it all in day by day.”
She is thankful for all her fans who havekept her going for this long.
“Your support means everything to me, andwithout your efforts I wouldn’t be living outthis amazing opportunity. I hope that I con-tinue to represent Canada well, and I am soproud to be a native of Abbotsford and I hopethat I am making you all very proud.”

Ch r i s t i n a Ya u h a sproven that an entireneighbourhood can
benefit from the harvest of asingle edible garden. ThoughYau has become a neighbour-hood provider, she describesherself as a virgin grower.
After a failed attempt atlandscaping her cedar-filledbackyard, Yau asked her hus-band, a contractor, to helpher build a garden in thefront yard.
He responded by sayingthat if it would be on displayin the front yard, it had to“look decent.”
That’s when Yau decidedto use 5X5 hot rolled steelboxes, which will corrode andachieve the desired indus-trial-meets-earthy effect.
“It worked really well forus, because it was such a coldspring that the heat from themetal kept the soil warm andeverything just grew superwell.”
Though Yau’s inexperiencecould have led her to plantthe standard flowers andshrubs, she felt sure that anedible patch was what she
wanted.“I’m not really into land-
scaping with a lot of flowersand blooms. I kind of figured,well, if I’m going to the effortof landscaping something,I thought it would be moreof a reward for me if I couldeat it.”
Her neighbours are excitedby the idea, and pitched inwith plenty of advice. Theywatch the garden with inter-est and often walk by to takea look. Before the drip irriga-tion system was installed, oneneighbourhood child used torun through the sprinkler.
The garden has been low-maintenance; no pesticidesare used. Weeding hasn’treally been necessary, andneither has pruning.
“Apparently you do (needto trim), but because I’venever grown anything before,I haven’t been trimming any-thing and it just keeps grow-ing, it just keeps producingstuff. All I did was just plantthe seeds, and make sure itgot water.”
Yau has planted peas, let-tuce, zucchini, arugula, toma-toes, carrots, beets, sugarsnap peas . . . the list goes on.The vegetables have grown
like crazy. Harvests have beenso plentiful at times that pro-duce is being given to thewhole neighbourhood.
Though gardeners mayview growing produce as acarefully planned, highly cal-culated activity, Yau’s advicefor how to tell when vegeta-bles are ready seems simple.
“You can tell. I would justpick it and eat it, and if it tast-ed good I’d start harvesting.”
Yau’s garden may be trialand error, but it’s alreadyyielded very tasty results.
Have your garden~ and eat it too ~Time to harvest an edible garden
– CINDY GOODMAN/POSTMEDIA NETWORK
Christina Yau waters her frontyard vegetable garden, whichshe planted in three hot rolledsteel box constructions. Theboxes, which were built inMay, keep the soil heated,which made for an early har-vest. She’s since planted newseeds for a second growthperiod this summer.

“You start doing some cut-ting back of perennials, andall the pruning of your trees. . . it’s a good time to startcutting that stuff back. I liketo prune earlier in the fallbefore the leaves fall off soyou can still see what the treelooks like,” says landscapingexpert Gord Driver.
Driver also advises hom-eowners to start pressure-washing needles and otherlawn droppings before theystain patios. It’s a good timeto start since most peoplewon’t be motivated to do itonce the weather turns bad.
Fall lawn aerations, withtop dresses or overseeds area good idea at the end of Sep-tember, since the weather isstill warm enough to germi-nate the seeds.
Now is also a good timeto start pulling out summerannuals and replace themwith perennials like primros-es, which are fragrant. Driverspecifically recommends alow evergreen perennialcalled heuchera, which hasmany varietals.

SENIORSSENIORSA14 ❘ SENIORS ❘ TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 THE TIMES
W ith cold and flu season rapidlyapproaching – and becomingmore deadly every year – seniors
need to take specific precautions againstviruses like H1N1.
According to statistics,1,400 British Columbiansd i e f ro m i n f l u e n z a a n dpneumonia every year.
Fraser Health has iden-ti f ied seniors as part ofthe highest risk group forcomplications stemmingfrom the seasonal flu, andaccording to their website,clinics for seasonal flu areavai lable now for thoseaged 65 and older.
Experts agree that pre-vention is the best defenseagainst catching the flu.
According to Fraser Health, getting ashot, combined with washing your handsfrequently, covering your mouth when youcough or sneeze, and staying home when
you are sick, are some of the best ways tosafeguard yourself and your family frominfection.
Flu season typically stretches fromNovember through to April, Fraser Healthspokesperson Roy Thorpe said.
“Sort of a return to ‘normal’ flu seasonafter last year’s H1N1 season,” he said.
Thorpe said B.C. flu-shot clinics arescheduled to begin in late October.
The H1N1 vaccine has been rolled intothe regular vaccine and willbe available to anyone whowants to be immunized.
“So there’s no need fora separate shot,” Thorpesaid.
“Unlike last year whenit was an arrival of a novelvirus and we had the needto mount two flu campaignsover one season.”
◗ If health advice is requiredregarding the seasonal flushot, contact HealthLinkBC by dialing 811, or call
ahead to your doctor’s office.

Ty Adams isn’t part of the problem, he’spart of the solution. After travelling more
than 10,000 miles through 24 states, Adams isbringing his state-of-the-art RV, which servesas a traveling showcase for green building, tothe 2010 Snowbird RV Show and Sale, whichruns Sept. 23-26 at the Tradex in Abbotsford.
“It’s gone from grampy’s fossil-fueled fossilto a renewable energy field trip that runs on100 per cent renewable energy.”
Adams quit his job and sold his house in2006 to create the SolTrekker, which he’s
turned into a non-profit organization dedi-cated to spreading awareness of sustainabilitythrough green building practices, renewableenergy and efficient design.
He tours North America giving tips forgreening RVs and showing people sustainablepractices they can adopt to become more self-sufficient. His eco-friendly motorhome has a100 per cent biodiesel engine with vegetableoil conversion, four solar panels that storeenough energy to run all electrical systemsand power appliances, two panels to storeheat to supply hot water for days, and more.
With more than 50 exhibitors and 180,000square feet of display space – indoors and out– the RV show showcases the latest in recre-ation vehicles, accessories, gadgets, traveldestinations and more. For more informationvisit www.RVShowsBC.ca.

How do you balance your life todaywith your goals for tomorrow?Online education is the answer for those whoare trying to figure out how to fit an educationinto their already busy lifestyles. Unlike a con-ventional campus with a narrow program sched-ule, online education is flexible and puts controlin the hands of the student – individuals choosewhat, when and where to study. Completingcourses online from home, the office, the locallibrary, or the corner café fits comfortably intoour fast-paced, tech-forward way of life.
With the constant evolution in technology, selfdirected study is fast becoming the most popularway to further your education. This online op-tion makes it easier for adult learners to balancethe demands of work and family while pursuingenhanced career skills. It’s never been easier toachieve your goals with the flexibility in learn-ing schedules coupled with the ability to chooseyour own hours.
When you eliminate the need for a classroomyou reduce the costs associated with traditionalpost-secondary education, both to your lifestyleand to your bank account. Imagine being ableto pursue your dream career while still maintain-ing your current job or just think how satisfyingit would be to get that promotion you deserve bysimply upgrading your skills in your spare time!With online education, advancing your career isat your fingertips.
Post secondary education is expensive, but, withthe highly competitive job market, it is an ex-pense we cannot spare. Self directed learningoffers a means of gaining that competitive edgewithout losing out on the ability to maintain ajob, family, or household in the meantime.
Advantages of an online education are numer-ous and include affordability, convenience, noadditional accommodation costs, no transporta-tion costs, as well as the invaluable confidenceand sense of accomplishment acquired througha self-initiated education journey.
Aside from these benefits, students that studythrough distance education have a greater feel-ing of success…and with good reason! Takingyour future into your own hands is an indicationof motivation and discipline. Employers realizethe commitment it takes to independently keepup with assignments and tests without constantclassroom supervision. The ability to self-moti-vate is an asset in any workplace, and this skill isin high demand on a resume and on the job.
It’s no longer necessary to choose between goingto school and going to work. With online edu-cation, you are able to do both without havingto sacrifice your lifestyle or your pay check so getonline and get on track today!

Get to the Next Level: Find That Dream JobWhether you’re unemployed or work-ing but entertaining thoughts of movingon, finding a new job is an involved pro-cess that takes lots of commitment andhard work. Sifting through job openingscan be akin to finding a needle in a hay-stack. Searching through that proverbialhaystack, however, is even more difficultwhen you’re forced to compete againsthundreds of others doing exactly the same.But finding a job, and doing so quickly,doesn’t need to be so difficult. The follow-ing tips should help put down on the trialsand tribulations of looking for work.
• Do some networking. Recognizing you’renot the only one looking for a job is essen-tial to finding one you really want. Recruit-ers’ inboxes are overflowing with the resumesof potential applicants, so you need an edge.Where most job seekers find the most successis through word-ofmouth. Family, friends, for-mer coworkers or anyone else you have regu-lar contact with outside of your current officecan all be great sources of information whenlooking for a job.
• Stay organized. Keep track of your job-searching efforts. Finding a job can be adrawn out process, as recruiters typically mustsift through large applicant pools before set-ting up any interviews. Keep a separate file onall jobs you’ve applied to, complete with a jobdescription and copy of the cover letter andresume you sent to that particular job. Keepthese files easily accessible and organized, asyou never know when you might be contact-ed by a prospective employer.
• Know what you have to offer. Examine yourstrengths and work on communicating thosestrengths. Effectively explaining what you dobest is your best chance of landing that dreamjob, so practice illustrating how your skills ap-ply to each position you’re seeking and howthose skills can benefit the company.
• Customize your letters and resumes.No two jobs are the same, so no twosetsofcoverlettersandresumesshouldbe the same, either. Tailor each letterand resume to the specific job you’reapplying to. In particular, cover letters
should emphasize specific skills that mightapply to each job. Save all cover letters andresumes under different filenames as well, asyou’ll want extra copies of each should you begranted an interview.
• Stay motivated. Particularly if you’re un-employed or working part-time until youcan get back into your field, the process oflooking for a job can be defeating. Talesof finding a job early on in the process doexist, but more often than not the processrequires sending out plenty of resumes anddealing with lots of rejection. It’s a processthat everyone goes through, not just you.Keep working hard and you’ll find that, indue time, opportunity will come knocking.Following all of these tips will make surethat once that knock does come, you’ll beprepared to answer the call.

The university of Vic-toria played spoiler tothe UFV Cascades intheir women’s soccer
home opener Saturday at Bate-man Park.
The Vikes got some luckybreaks in their 3-1 win over theUniversity of the Fraser Valley,including a shot deflecting off aUFV defender and into the net,giving UVic a one goal lead earlyin the second half.
“Honestly we dominated thewhole game . . . the luck was noton our side today,” said teamcaptain Megan Webster.
“We’re not finishing in theopportunities that we had.”
After a month on the roadplaying exhibition games, theCascades were ready to dazzlethe hometown crowd, beginningthe match with enthusiasm.
They controlled the play ear-ly and throughout most of thegame.
“We were putting pressure onthem the whole time, we were intheir half for most of the game,”said Webster. “Then we kindabroke down for five minutes andthey scored another one.”
The two goals by the Vikesseemed to bring the Cascadesback to li fe and the greenoffence went to work and keptpressuring until rookie Dani-elle de Bruin scored her firstCWUAA/CIS career goal toput UFV right back into thematch.
Then UVic picked up a lategoal on a penalty kick in thefinal minutes to put the gameout of reach.
Andrea McLachlan receivedthe Cascades’ Player of theMatch honours.
While disappointed, Websterand her team have their eyes onnext weekend, when they meettheir rivals in Victoria.
“ We outplayed them thewhole game so I feel it’s justmore motivation for us to play
better next weekend and showthem that we can bring it,” shesaid.
On the men’s side, the UBCThunderbirds beat the Cas-
cades 1-0 Friday night at Thun-derbird Park in Vancouver.
A penalty kick late in thesecond half for UBC was thedecider. The Cascades regular
season record falls to 1-2-0 forthree points.
They face Trinity WesternUniversity in Langley on Sat-urday at 7 p.m.

Heat have anew trainer,and whilethis usuallywouldn’t makethe news, onecan’t help butwonder why the old one is gone.
While it was not publicly announcedby the Calgary Flames AHL affiliate,Brandon Thome takes the reigns as theHeat’s new trainer after a successful stintas assistant athletic therapist for the Uni-versity of Calgary Dinos, and field andclinic supervisor for the Athletic TherapyMajor in the Faculty of Kinesiology at theU of Calgary.
He’s certainly qualified on paper, buthe’s got other intangible qualities as well,said Heat head coach Jim Playfair.
“He’s got an excellent disposition forhis profession,” Playfair said last Friday.“He’s very calm, mild mannered, got agood work ethic and he’s a young trainerthat is coming out of the college ranksand turning pro so he’s really similar tothe young players in Abbotsford.”
Thome also takes over from D.J. Ama-dio.
Amadio is now the trainer for the TexasStars of the AHL. His departure to theLone Star State ended an extensive rela-tionship with the Flames organization,which included stops in Omaha, QuadCity and Abbotsford.
It’s unclear as to whether Amadio waslet go by the organization or if he left onhis own accord, so read into this nextpart what you will.
Amadio’s exit comes after a disastrousseason, injury-wise, for the Heat.
Abbotsford lost an estimated 350-mangames due to injury over the course of an80-game regular season. It was previouslyestimated to be closer to 450 games, butthat number was rectified this summerby the team. Now, three of those caseswere all long-term concussions, sufferedby former captain Brett Palin, CarsenGermyn, and Kris Chucko, a former first-round pick of the Flames.
There were countless other players thatsaw time on the injury-reserved list.
But one case sure to fuel speculationas to why Amadio is out, and Thome isin, concerns that of 21-year-old bluelinerJohn Negrin.
Negrin played in just 45 games for theHeat last season thanks to a pair of inju-ries. He first fractured his wrist at the endof January, and just as he was attemptinga comeback to the line-up in February,Negrin was told he had a broken knee-cap.
The knee injury was apparently mis-diagnosed. In July, the Calgary Heraldreported Negrin fractured his kneecap inNovember – roughly two months beforehe fractured his wrist. When asked ifthis was miscue on the part of the train-ing staff, Playfair chose to focus on thefuture: Negrin is now healthy, and that’sall that matters, he said.

RCMP have identified the Abbotsfordman found shot to death Thursdaymorning as the father of Surrey Six
victim Eddie Narong.Thayone Narong, 49, was found by
Abbotsford police in his late-model ToyotaCamry in the 3000 block of Charles Courtabout 6:30 a.m. Thursday.
The Camry came to rest in a driveway afterrolling into a parked Ford Mustang.
Investigators are still trying to piece togetherexactly what happened, but early reportsindicate a manwearing a dark-coloured hoodieshot Narong atclose range and then fled the scene on foot.
“At this point of the investigation, investiga-tors are attempting to track down all associatesof Narong to see what, if anything, they can tellus,” Integrated Homicide Investigation Teamspokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr said in a release.
“There is nothing to suggest that this homi-cide has any links to the Surrey Six investiga-tion other than the fact that the two victimsare related.”

First reported @abbotsfordtimes.com
Abbotsford police have arrestedseven men on prostitution-
related charges as part of a johnsting operation recently.
Members of the department’sbike and beat squads implementedthe two-day project in responseto ongoing concerns from localbusinesses and residents regardingthe sex trade in the downtown andClearbrook Road areas.
Police set out to target men whobuy sex from woman suffering fromdrug addiction, Sgt. Casey Vinetsaid.
“We are happy with the results butalso recognize the persistent natureof the problem,” he said.
The men arrested were from24 to 63 years old. Five of thosearrested are Abbotsford residents,one is from Mission and one from
Calgary. Vinet said investigatorsdetermined through interviews thatthe men were not first-time con-sumers of sex for money from streetprostitutes, and often purchased sexin other cities.
The men arrested during theproject were released on appear-ance notices, and depending onthe circumstances and backgroundof each offender, Vinet said that
individuals may be given the optionto attend “john school.”
Vinet described the school as aprogram designed to educate menapprehended by police who attemptto purchase sex, or have previouslypurchased sex.
The hope, he said, is that by teach-ing the legal and health effects ofbuying sex and presenting the reali-ties of prostitution, police and sup-
porters of the program will reducethe demand.
Vinet warned that Abbotsfordpolice would be implementingmore stings in the near future.
“A warning to potential johns:if you are buying sex from streetprostitutes you should be aware theperson you are talking to may be apolice officer.”
