Explosion rattles residents

Bomb disposal team sent out, but criminal act ruled out

A

car explosion that rocked the Riverside Drive area of Chilliwack Saturday evening was not the result of a criminal act, according to local RCMP. Police evacuated residences and called in police dogs and a bomb disposal unit after an explosion at a residence in the 46000 block of Riverside Drive rattled windows and set off car alarms at about 7:50 p.m. Saturday. Firefighters had arrived on the scene earlier to find a car engulfed in flames in the home’s driveway and its lone occupant lying on the ground conscious nearby. The man was sent to hospital and treated for superficial burns. RCMP took over the investigation after preliminary circumstances suggested the explosion, which blew debris 30 metres from the scene, might have been caused by a criminal act. Mounties called in the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Section, the Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service and the RCMP Explosives Disposal unit to help. “Subsequent Investigation, though, proved that the explosion was not caused by a criminal act, but possibly, a motor vehicle defect,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in a press release. “Evidence indicated that when the victim went to turn on the vehicle it ignited vapours from a leaking fuel line and caused the explosion.” Mounties have now requested a mechanical inspection of the vehicle to find out the specific cause of the explosion.

The mother of three beat out seven other finalists for the grand title in Toronto last weekend. The $100,000 was given to Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Canada, of which Vander Wyk has been the presiSCAN WITH LAYAR dent for two years.

You are not only mom of the year, you are mom of the century to me.” Vander Wyk’s philanthropic journey began 14 years ago, after Holli was diagnosed with Type 2

SMA at two years old. SMA is the number one genetic killer of children under age two. It is a rare motor neuron disease that affects the nerves’ ability to send messages from the brain to the muscles. Over time, the disease weakens muscles used for activities like breathing and swallowing.

former Chilliwack teacher accused of sexually assaulting two students in 2010 had been told to stop touching students multiple times years before he was charged with a crime, according to information published by the Ministry of Education’s Teacher Regulation Branch. Charges of sexual assault and sexual interference against Jason Epp were dropped on Aug. 31, 2011 when Crown counsel concluded it was unlikely he would have been convicted if his case had gone to trial. But Epp, a former Grade 2 teacher at Sardis elementary, has since admitted to professional misconduct in an agreement with the Teacher Regulation Branch. The Consent Resolution Agreement, a voluntary agreement signed by Epp, covers incidents that involved him touching students at Sardis elementary between 2002 and 2009. School district staff first talked to Epp about establishing “clear and acceptable boundaries regarding See EPP, Page 4

Speed limit review comes to Chilliwack

BY SHARRON HO Chilliwack Times

No shortage of concerns about local roads

he B.C. government will be hosting a forum in Chilliwack sometime in November to seek public opinion on provincial highway speed limits. The province is in the process of reviewing speed limits on longer stretches of highway in between communities, and the forum will serve as part of the public engagement process, which will also include social media and online feedback. Public input and information from a technical review will be used to determine where speed limit adjustments are appropriate. According to a Ministry of Transport press release, an initial technical review is currently being conducted, which includes an evaluation of latest research from around the world, specific characteristics of B.C. highways, travel speed, safety history and

Possible local speed limit changes The City of Chilliwack is already considering raising speed limits on some rural roads within the municipality. Back in April, Dave Harder of the city’s Rural Issues Advisory Committee requested that the speed limit on Yale Road West from the Travelodge to Evans Road be increased. At its Sept. 24 meeting, city council then endorsed a resolution that the Transportation Advisory Committee identify rural roads that can have increased speed limits. The stretch of Yale Road West was suggested along with Wolfe Road from the city’s wastewater treatment plant to Chilliwack Mountain Road.

hilliwack RCMP want the public’s help in finding a suspect after an early-morning shooting at the Chilliwack Motor Inn four weeks ago. The incident occurred at the Young Road motel at approximately 3:40 a.m. on Sept. 10. A Chilliwack man was asleep in one of the motel rooms when he was awoken by a commotion outside, according to police. When he went to investigate, he saw that the door had been forced open in the nextdoor unit and two males were inside. The victim was then assaulted and the assailants left in a grey vehicle, which already had a driver. A female seen in the area then joined the group in the vehicle. Chilliwack RCMP were

called to the scene and the victim was taken to hospital where it was discovered he had been shot. Police obtained descriptions of two of the assailants. One is a white male who had his face covered and was wearing a hoodie. The second is described as white, five-foot-10-inches to six-foot in height, thin build, brown hair and eyes, with pale skin wearing a sleeveless

white undershirt. A composite drawing was created of the second suspect. Police ask if any members of the public know of the identity of this man or have knowledge of the incident to call the Serious Crimes Unit of the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-7924611. ◗ Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

personal space” on July 2, 2003, the agreement states, after he had been observed during the school year sitting with students on his lap, holding their hands and—on three occasions—“rubbing the shoulders and arms of a student standing in close proximity to the front of his body while he was seated.” Just over four months later, after his school principal saw him seated with his arm around a student’s waist, the district wrote Epp a letter directing him to avoid all physical contact with students unless he needed to intervene to ensure their physical safety. He was again seen holding a student’s hand in April 2004, and on May 3, 2005 he was directed by the district to “avoid inappropriate physical contact with students.” Four years later he was observed in his Grade 2 class in a chair with a group of students clustered closely around him. “Epp had his right hand on the buttocks of a student for several seconds, apparently to redirect the student,” the agreement states. Epp has agreed the incidents constitute professional misconduct, and he has agreed to the cancellation of his teaching certificate. He has also agreed not to re-apply for a new certificate for six years. Charges of sexual interference and assault were laid against Epp in May of 2010 on the basis of interviews with two Sardis elementary students.

cautionary measure after a data breach at Adobe “that had the potential to comprommise our city data,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said on Facebook. The site was back up and running Friday afternoon, although as of Monday afternoon, some of the website’s E-Services were unavailable, according to a spokesperson.

Different standard of proof was used Mounties conducted a comprehensive investigation that included roughly 130 interviews with students, parents and staff members. Police also interviewed all children in Epp’s Grade 2 classes in the 2008-2009 and 20092010 school years. After reviewing the evidence, however, Crown counsel Wendy van Tomgeren-Harvey asked for a stay of proceedings and all charges against Epp were dropped. But his case remained active before the nowdefunct B.C. College of Teachers, and its successor, the Teacher Regulation Branch, both of which have a different standard of proof from the courts. “We are able to continue to consider the person’s licence, and whether they should keep it or not, regardless of the outcome of a criminal case,” BCCT registrar Kit Krieger told theTimes in 2011. After concluding an investigation launched in May 2012, the commissioner of the Teacher Regulation Branch proposed a Consent Resolution Agreement to Epp in July 2013. He signed it on Aug. 14, and won’t be eligible to apply for a new teaching certificate until July 31, 2019. - with files from Tyler Olsen

Terry Fox’s niece Jessie Alder, right, accepts a cheque for the Terry Fox Foundation from Chilliwack secondary school leadership students at an assembly at CSS Thursday.

New digs, new vibe for CSS students this year BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com “Brand new school, brand new vibe.” That’s the mantra of this year’s Chilliwack secondary school leadership class, and so far they are crushing it, helping to raise more than $4,500 for the Terry Fox Run through their first fundraiser last month. “Our school culture this year has just been phenomenal,” teacher Andrea Doerksen said. “The leadership class is just out of this world.” In the previous two years combined, the school’s Terry Fox Run fundraiser had brought in a measly $20, but students this year were determined to raise the bar way up, setting a goal of $3,000. They ended up raising $4,570.71 in just five days. Essentially it was a tribute to how much students will pay to watch teachers do weird things at lunch time. In the school’s lobby, leadership students set up a map of Terry Fox’s intended crossCanada route divided into 12 checkpoints. Every $250 in donations got Terry one check point closer to his goal. To get him all the way across Canada, the school would need to come up with $3,000. For extra incentive, each checkpoint also earned students a lunchtime performance from teachers who signed up to complete various dares ranging from taking pies in the

face to twerking. Doerksen herself kicked off the festivities by beating gym teacher Curtis Tieu in a pushup contest. “So many kids came down and emptied their wallets and we raised $804 at that assembly,” Doerksen said. It all just got weirder from there. At $1,250, business teacher Steve Anderson dressed up as Mrs. Doubtfire; at $1,500 English teacher Muriel Morris’s dachshund Smashing Pumpkin raced shop teacher Kevin Moore’s wiener dog Bridget. Hairy men Harold Willers and Matthew Ferris had their legs publicly waxed at $2,000. Creative writing teacher Ian Bullock chugged two litres of chocolate milk at $2,250. And at $2,500, math Ed Klettke twerked. The coup de grace, though, came at $3,000 with the shaving of English teacher Gary Badker’s moustache, something the longtime teacher has only allowed twice in his life. “His wife texted me and said, ‘I cannot believe you’re doing this to my husband,’” Doerksen said with a laugh. A couple of students, Meindert Hinlopen and Patrick Hylkema, who together raised almost $1,500, also joined the fray, getting their heads shaved at $2,250. Chilliwack secondary’s $4570.71 was accepted by Terry Fox’s niece Jessie Alder at a CSS assembly Thursday.

is Community Living Month! October Silage bunkers ablaze

M

ore than 450 head of cattle were spared during a major farm fire that burned four large silage bunkers to the ground on Jesperson Road Sunday morning. Firefighters responded to the call in the 11000 block of Jespersen Road at about 1:45 a.m. Spontaneous combustion had ignited recently harvest silage material, and it took 12 hours and help from five out of Chilliwack’s six fire halls and a water truck from the Popkum Fire Department to deal with the blaze. The fire destroyed four silage bunkers and spread to two larger cement bunkers but was confined to the top couple feet of feed thanks to the use of a high-hoe excavator. The blaze did not spread to nearby cattle

barns.

Second silage fire Firefighters returned to within three blocks of that early morning fire to fight another spontaneous-combustion silage fire later that same day. They were called to a farm in the 48000 block of Camp River Road at about 4:45 p.m. after a farmer spotted a smouldering fire in a silage bunker. The bunker was overhauled and firefighters extinguished the fire with relative ease, according to a Chilliwack Fire Department press release. Damage to the bunker in the second Sunday fire was minor.

Crack, heroin seized in bust Mounties pursuing trafficking charges

C

hilliwack RCMP are pursuing drug trafficking charges against a prolific offender after seizing crack cocaine, heroin and assorted trafficking paraphernalia from a Fletcher Street apartment last month. Mounties arrested prolific offender Jeffrey Kizmann, 31, and a 37-year-old woman on Sept. 25 after executing a search warrant at an apartment complex in the 9400 block of Fletcher Street. Unspecified quantities of crack and heroin were seized along with scales and packaging consistent with the sale of drugs. Police say it appeared crack cocaine was being cooked in the kitchen of the apartment, and the City of Chilliwack has now deemed the unit unsafe and has removed the occupancy permit. Mo u n t i e s i n A g a s s i z , meanwhile, seized 4,446 marijuana plants and a stolen shotgun after executing search warrants on a number of buildings at an address in the 46000 block of Lougheed Highway Oct. 2. Four people were arrested and later released. Charges are being contemplated and the investigation is ongoing. “The execution of search w a r ra n t s i n b o t h t h e s e instances reflects the success of our Crime Reduction strategies in enhancing the safety of our communities,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said in a press release.

than 100 people have commented online and even fewer showed up at live public events. Manager of long range planning Karen Stanton who is heading up the OCP review gave city council an update on the status of the process at council’s Sept. 24 meeting. Stanton talked about the feedback received via surveys, the PlaceSpeak website, a Yarrow “vision workshop” and two community “cafe” evenings.

“We haven’t had a really high turnout,” Stanton said of the public forums, when asked if more were planned in the fall. She said surveys seem to be a more popular way for people to provide feedback into the OCP update, which is a vision statement looking at development and growth scenarios to the year 2040. Coun. Jason Lum suggested more needed to be done to get information out and receive feedback on

“what will ultimately be the overarching piece of policy for the next 30 years.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz was more optimistic, pointing to the number of“unique views” on the OCP update page at www.placespeak.com. She said she thought the interaction was pretty good “when you look at our population and think 2,637 took a look, when some really are not familiar with computers and don’t trust that whole process.”

There have been, however, just 87 comments since the site was set up nearly a year ago. More live public forums may be held in the fall, but Stanton said no dates have been set yet. Gaetz said the public should be reminded that feedback is still sought and people can still tell the city about their priorities. “The bus hasn’t left the stop yet,” she said. “You can still go back and comment.”

Fighting in hockey not going away

O

pening day of the 20132014 National Hockey League season was marred by a disturbing incident during a fight between George Parros of the Montreal Canadiens and Colton Orr of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Parros lost his balance during the scuffle and landed, forehead first, onto the ice. He was knocked unconscious from the blow and lay motionless on the ice for several minutes, before eventually being put onto a stretcher and taken to the closest hospital. The good part about the incident is that, by early accounts, Parros will recover. On a grander scale, what the incident did was ignite the debate about fighting in the NHL, for the umpteenth time. The faction of hockey analysts, fans and even former players calling for an end to fighting in hockey grows every year and those numbers will likely spike again with this latest incident. Should fighting be banned? The debate rages on. Will fighting be banned? Not anytime soon. It’s not only too much a part of the sport’s culture, but it’s also too much of a marketing tool for the sport. Video game companies use fighting as selling points for their hockey games. Television sports media types drool when a “good” hockey fight happens: highlight-

TERRY FARRELL

Be Our Guest reel stuff. Until a fight breaks out at a hockey game and nobody gets up to cheer, it will remain in the game. And that’s a shame. I don’t mind the fight that occurs when one player takes exception to a cheap shot delivered to him by another player and decides to take matters into his own hands. That’s no different —other than the lack of consequence—than the baseball player who charges the mound after a pitcher throws at his head. I don’t even have a huge problem with one team’s tough guy going after someone who took a cheap shot at his team’s top player. But unfortunately, those two instances are the exception, rather than the rule. More often than not, what happens is if my second-line player knees your first-line player, my fourth-line tough guy and your fourth-line tough guy line up next to each other one or two shifts later and, as soon as the puck is dropped, so are their gloves. That is the kind of fighting that

should be taken out of hockey, because it is, for the most part, unnecessary. Sadly, those are the fights people really want to see. Let’s face it: George Parros is not in the NHL for his skating ability. Colton Orr does not make nearly a million dollars a year because he has a 100-mile-per-hour slapshot. Those who say, “take away fighting and you ruin the sport” really must question their logic. The fact is that the vast number— and by vast I mean more than 90 per cent—of people who play, or have played, hockey have never played in a league that allows fighting. Fighting is not allowed in minor hockey. It is not allowed in any men’s league with which I have ever been associated. There certainly is no fighting in any old-timers’ leagues. And yet, somehow, people still consider it integral to the sport. Odd, that. In the meantime, enjoy the regular season. And for all of you who think that fighting is integral to the game, enjoy the 17-day break, from Feb. 9 to 26, when the NHL season is put on hold for the 2014 Winter Olympics. Surely you won’t be watching that. It will be as boring as all heck. ◗ Terry Farrell is the editor of the Abbotsford-Mission Times.

e’ve already heard enough about the so-called co-operative gains mandate to last a lifetime, but we’re going to hear a lot more of that phrase. Somewhere, tucked into an office in the Legislature or in a BC Liberal back room, is the architect of that phrase. This person is one of the masters of Orwellian doublethink. Co-operative gains is what the government calls its policy of giving public sector workers raises, without actually giving them any more money. How does that work, you ask? Apparently, the Liberals believe that contracts like the ones they just signed with the CUPE school support staff will be magically filled thanks to the pots of leprechaun gold that all school districts have hidden under the board office foundations. In reality, it will mean finding money by cutting something else in the short term, and in the long term, likely by reducing the number of people on the support staff payroll. Which will, of course, have no impact on schools being cleaned, blocked pipes being cleared, or bad wiring being fixed. This seems to be part of the belief by many governments, not just the provincial folks, that there is always waste, and that cutting of this waste can and must go on indefinitely. Now, either this is true, and the government will eventually be two guys, one of whom will fire the other, or it isn’t. If it isn’t, then eventually everything that’s not vitally necessary will have been cut already. Considering that the Liberals have been in power for more than a dozen years, you’d think they’d have finished this process by now. So to sum up: co-operative gains involve no co-operation, and no one gains any extra resources from Victoria. But someone had fun coming up with the name.

PETEY’S

PUMPKIN PATCH

New mantra: spend smarter

Editor: Adult literacy fact: close to half of Canadians adults—some nine million Canadians—struggle with low literacy. Worse still, Canadian literacy has barely budged in over a decade. Closer to home, more than 40 per cent of working-age people in British Columbia have a hard time with the everyday demands of reading,writing and using numbers. Meaning, they may be unable to read even a bedtime story to their kids (Literacy BC). As it stands, “31 per cent of British Columbians may have difficulty reading this sentence.” Now you may ask, where does such a high failure rate come from? In a country that keeps all youngsters in school for almost eight or nine years (and most of them considerably longer), it is indeed sad that so many would go through the process and not acquire most rudimentery knowledge of the written language. To put it bluntly, our schools aren’t making the grade. As it stands, teaching of reading in our schools is like a game of musical chairs where a third of the players lose their seats even before the music starts. That is a shame when, according to Dr. Barbara Bateman, a well-known authority on education,

“Near failure-proof methods of teaching all children to read are already available. Continued failure of schools to employ the [phoneticbased] programs is at least negligent and at worst malicious.” It needs stressing that public school system is in decline not for want of money. It’s more about how funds are spent. So, let “spending smart” be our new mantra. Lal Sharma Chilliwack

Feeling blessed by concert Editor: What an exquisite sunshiny morning I had on Friday. At 10 a.m. my 101-yearold music-loving friend and

I entered the Rotary Hall— dramatically all black except for several round tables clothed in red clustered before a gleaming black grand piano. We could even bring our free coffees and a delicious pastry from Sardis Bakery to our table! And then we were indeed enthralled for the following hour and a half listening to Sarah Hagen on the piano and Ariel Barnes on the cello play selections from Schumann, Shostakovich and Beethoven. The rapport between these two performers and their instruments was carried over to the audience as they dazzled us with their talent and charmed us with their background introductions to each composer and each selection. At the concert’s end I felt I couldn’t applaud loud enough to show my appre-

ciation to the performers for making me feel so deliriously filled with pleasure and gratitude. As we stepped back out into the sunshine, we both felt incredibly blessed. In November, Sarah will be joined by Joan Blackman, a violinist; in February, Benjamin Butterfield, a tenor; and in March, Oto Carrillo. I can’t wait! This incredible concert series needs a good attendance to continue being offered—come and fill your morning with rapture! Jody Cameron Chilliwack

Especially so considering there is the newest hotel (Hampton Inn) as well as a new Co-Op cardlock fuelling station on Lickman Road.

f you’re unemployed and ready to dive back into the workforce, UFV ’s Continuing Studies offers two great ways to help—and best of all, they’re free. But you’d better act fast. With the University of the Fraser Valley’s Employment Skills Access program (ESA), qualified participants have a pair of options to choose from: Customer Service for Retail and Hospitality or Family Child Care. “If you’ve always enjoyed children and have a great deal of patience and understanding for them, the ESA Family Child Care stream is great opportunity to acquire real-world skills to join the job market in a field that has a huge need,” says ESA coordinator Erin Kohanik. “ T h e m o s t re w a rd i n g aspect of co-ordinating the ESA program is to observe how each person’s confidence level increases to a point where they are able to take the next step independently.” Qualified participants include those who are: unemployed and not EI clients (must not have collected benefits within the last three years); unemployed without collecting maternal/paternal benefits within the last five years; or lacking skills or education needed to move past low-skilled employment. Textbooks, tuition and other necessary costs for the program are included, but students must commit to all classes included in their program on a full-time basis. Classes run during the day. Classes within the Customer Service for Retail and Hospitality stream include: Business Communications, Basic Computer Skills, WHMIS, Occupational First Aid Level I, FoodSafe Level I & II, Serving it Right, WorldHost, and Retail Sales, including cashier training. Classes run Nov. 25 to Jan. 17 (no classes from Dec. 23 to Jan. 3). Fa m i l y C h i l d Ca re includes: WHMIS, Emergency Child Care First Aid and CPR/AED Level B, Introduction to Family Child Care, Understanding Child Development, Understanding Child Behaviour, Health, Safety and Nutrition, Planning Children’s Experiences and Administration and working with Families.

Single-family-home sales surge

T

he sale of single-family homes in Chilliwack has been surging of late while apartment and townhouse sales remain stagnant. There were 194 residential home sales worth $58 million in September in the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) region. That’s a 28 per cent increase over the 153 sales for the same month last year. And of last month’s sales, 119 were single family homes, itself a 63 per cent increase over single family home sales

in September 2012. Sales of townhouses over that period actually went down and apartments stayed about the same. “Continued low interest rates are making it possible for more homeowners to make the transition from a condo or a townhome to a single family home,” CADREB president Jesse Hildebrandt said in a press release. “This incites more listings and creates a healthy supply and demand market, which equates to the buyers getting

more for their money.” The highest number of sales was in the $400,000 to $500,000 range (27) followed by 25 sales in the $350,000 to $400,000 range. The strong sales of single family homes in September follows on another strong month in August, which saw 109 sold, a 60 per cent increase over August 2012. Total residential sales for August were at 184, worth $54 million, up from 124 and $36 million for the same month last year.

Plenty of pucks on net, just no finish CHIEFS, from page 13 shortage of chances as they outshot the Express 43 to 42. A similar thing happened in Friday night’s loss in Coquitlam as the Chiefs lost 5-2 but outshot the Express 44 to 37. One thing the Chiefs do not have a problem with is getting the puck on net. They just aren’t finishing, which, combined WEB FIRST with troubles First reported on at the back chilliwacktimes.com end, mean they simply can’t win games. Frustration with the team’s inability to score or keep pucks out of its own net has clearly spread to fans. “C’mon Harv. Get it together. We want a win,” read a fan’s sign. Other spots of good news came in the form of Austin Plevy’s first of the season shorthanded in the second, a beautiful Andrew Silard goal in the third making it 9-3, and one last power-play marker by Kurt Black on a drive from the corner for the game’s final marker. Friday’s goals were scored by Zach Diamantoni from Mathieu Tibbet and by Carter Cochrane from Kurt Black. Saturday night’s loss was the team’s sixth in their first eight games of the season leaving them with a 1-6-1-0 record.

Rams put end to Husker playoff hopes

T

hey might not have earned a playoff spot, but Valley Huskers players could look each other in the eye after Saturday’s 59-24 loss to the Langley Rams and say they’d done their best. That was the challenge head coach Tyson St. James put to them before the game, and he said he’s satisfied that’s what they did. “I feel like they at least tried their best after the circumstances that have befallen this season,” he told

the Times. T h e s c o re w a s c e r t a i n l y a n improvement over the last time the two teams met, when defending BCFC champion Rams trounced the hapless Huskers 54-7. The Huskers actually out-passed their opponents 236 yards to 180 this time around with Cody Parray completing 11 of 22 passes for 228 yards through the air.

His favourite target was Cody Vinnish, who pulled in seven passes for 132 yards, including one touchdown. The numbers were a little more lopsided on the ground with the Huskers registering 119 yards rushing to the Rams 244. Ty DeRayos was the Huskers top rusher, carrying the ball 12 times for 48 yards; Misha Otanga was right

behind with 42 yards on six carries. With the Rams scoring a pile of defensive points (including a touchdown after picking off the Huskers first pass of the game 28 seconds in) the Huskers defence actually played better than the 59 Rams points would seem to indicate, said St. James. Jerry Sidhu led the defence with six stops. The loss leaves the Huskers with the same 2-7-1 season record as the Kamloops Broncos, but Kamloops leads in points for and will now advance to the post-season.

UFV golfers win PACWEST titles BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

T

he only thing that could overshadow the success of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades men’s golf team this year is the fact that the women are, arguably, even better. It was championship weekend at Chilliwack Golf & Country Club as the Cascades hosted the final PACWEST tournament, and both teams handily won the conference by 50 strokes. Coach Chris Bertram, who knew he had good golfers on his hands, was even shocked by the success. “I’m incredibly proud all of the players on this team,” he told the Times. “I knew we had a talented group but I didn’t foresee us going undefeated. In team golf, you have to compete against every school every week, so this really is remarkable.” Led by Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls who shot a 65 Saturday, the UFV men cruised to a total score of 1,717, beating second place Camosun College with 1,767 strokes. Third was University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBC-O) with 1,781 followed by Douglas College’s (DC) 1,782. Rounding out the seven schools was Vancouver Island University (VIU) with 1,808, Thompson Rivers University (TRU) with 1,857 and

Kwantlen Polytechnic University with 1,870. Pauls finished third on the individual overall standings with UFV players Darren Whitehouse tied for fourth, Simon Blaker in sixth and Connor O’Dell, who shot a stunning 63 Sunday, in seventh. O’Dell’s two-day cumulative total of 135 put him first overall in individual scoring at the tournament. As for the women, Dani Shap, Jen Woods and Kelley Dalzell scored a total of 950 for the three-tournament season, beating out VIU’s 1000, UBC-O’s 1,113, TRU’s 1,116 and DC’s 1,224. Shap’s 80 and 76 on the weekend was good enough to earn her first individual, and her three-season 474 means she was crowned 2013 PACWEST individual champion. Woods was second overall with a three-tournament score of 480. The Cascades men will make their sixth straight appearance at the Canadian College Athletic Association (CCAA) Ping national championships, Oct. 15 to 18 in Quebec. They go into the tournament ranked number three in the CCAA top-10 poll. As this is the first year as a varsity program, the women will make their first appearance at nationals, but they go in ranked number one in the country.

When you die without a will, the law says exactly how the things you own (your estate) will be divided between your spouse and your children or among your parents, brothers and sisters. When you make a will, you can say who will get everything that you leave behind. You can name someone - an executor - to follow the instructions in your will and settle your estate. And you can name someone - a guardian - to look after your children if both you and your spouse die while they are young. When you have a will, you are leaving instructions about your wishes, and your family will not have to worry about what to do. Your Advisor’s job is to write your will so that your wishes are clear and can be followed after you die. Your advisor will tell you about various laws that may affect what you put in your will. For example, the Wills Variation Act says that your spouse and your children have a right to apply to vary the terms of your will after you die. Your will cannot take away this right. Your advisor can also give you information about the taxes that will have to be paid after you die.

BE PREPARED FOR YOUR FIRST MEETING WITH YOUR ADVISOR. Your advisor needs to know what you want to say in your will. Before you meet your advisor, think about your answers to these questions. • Who do I want to get my possessions after I die? • Who do I want to name as executor? • If I have children under 19, who do I want to name as a guardian for my children? • What will happen if the people I want to leave my property to, or my executor, or my guardian die before I do? Your advisor also needs to know exactly what you own. Prepare a list, include your house, Registered Retirement Savings Plan, life insurance policy, and business interests. Do you own any of these things with someone else? If you do, bring copies of the ownership documents to this meeting. Do your insurance policies or retirement savings plans name a beneficiary, the person who will receive the money when you die? Include the name of the beneficiary on your list.

with respect to all types of Estate litigation including Wills Variation Act claims, Will validity disputes, joint tenancy disputes and all other types of Estate disputes.

When you choose an executor, you should pick someone who is reliable and has some business sense. Your executor may have to work with a advisor, a real estate agent and government officials to settle your estate. Your executor needs to be able to get information from professionals and make good decisions.

When you have a will, you are leaving instructions about your wishes, and your family will not have to worry about what to do.

When you see a advisor who writes wills and probates estates, who can take advantage of that knowledge and experience to make sure that the value of your property isn't reduced by family quarrels or taxes that could have been avoided.

Local vaulters shine at B.C. championships

C

But they don’t have to be.

Dean Simpson

Scott Simpson

604.824.5500 WWW.SIMPSONNOTARIES.COM

hilliwack athletes and horses brought home medals, trophies and personal best scores from this year’s BC Provincial Equestrian Vaulting Championships in Langley on Sept. 27 to 29. Two Cheam horses led the way, with Rosie, a Percheron gelding, being named the Best BC Canter Horse in the A and AA Divisions and Tristan, a Percheron gelding, awarded the title of Best Pairs/Team Horse. The horses belong to Cheam head coach Alisa Schmidt-Anema, who also received the highest individual scores of the competition, winning the AA Division. Cheam’s team vaulters also did well, with Team Serenity declared the new BC Canter Team Champion. Members are Bartly Dyck, Jessica Church, Darla Ricka, Taylor Eamor, Deseray Smith and Shianne Peters. Team Momentum, consisting of Chelsey Wierks, Jocey Vanderlende, Abigale Wynberg, Katie Pavicic, Hannah Campell and Mary Coates, placed third in the walk division. Three members of the Cheam Vaulters— Abigale Wynberg, Cassie Sponchia and Taylor Eamor—turned in personal best scores at the Division B canter level in individual vaulting. Sponchia and Eamor also finished first in the class for trot pairs. Victoria Woodbridge was named Zone 5 champion after placing third overall in

her division for the Division D canter class, while Deseray Smith was third in first round freestyle. Other Cheam competitors earning personal best scores in their first year of canter competition were Hannah Campbell and Katie Pavicic. In the Division D walk class, Mary Coates was first in freestyle and second overall in her first performance at a recognized vaulting event. Sage Bennedictson placed first in the competitive class for vaulters under age 10, while Samantha Kennedy was second. Jack Campbell, five, Cheam’s youngest competitor, performed in the FUNdamentals demonstration class. The Championship, which saw 100 competitors from around the province, ended the 2013 competitive season, but the new season starts up immediately. This will be a historic year for the Cheam Vaulters, who now have a permanent home at the Green Heart Stables in Greendale, allowing for more classes each week. ◗ For information about competitive and recreational vaulting classes, contact Alisa Schmidt-Anema at equestrianvaulting@ yahoo.ca. No experience is necessary and all horses and equipment are provided by the club.

Each year Restorative Justice receive recovered bikes donated by the cities of Chilliwack, Agassiz and Hope. More than 70 bikes will be available for sale; some may be high end, others need a little TLC

Restorative Justice event held at Bernard school and will be auctioned off at 10 a.m. sharp on a first-come basis. Bikes are sold to the highest bidder and we only accept cash. “I am pleased with the community support we receive for this fundraiser and it is a great way to give back,” Peter Devette, Restorative Justice board member and sale co-ordinator, said.

Restorative Justice received more than 170 referrals last year and expects to exceed that number this year. By supporting this event, it is a win/win for both the organization and for those looking for a good deal on a bike. The sale starts at 10 a.m. and will run until 11 a.m. Bernard elementary is generously supporting

Restorative Justice again this year with the use of the school parking lot.

Fraser Valley motorcyclists for Fraser Valley kids BY CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

T

he Fraser Valley Toy Run is back this year on Oct. 20 for its 27th year, and while it’s open to motorcycle enthusiasts of all kinds, organizer Barney Hopkins hopes that non-riders will also come out to support the poignant cause. “Even if you don’t ride, or don’t want to ride your bike, please come down to the Ag-Rec, and watch the bikers come in. Bring your family in the car. The more people that get involved, the more we can help the kids,” he said. The annual charity run, held the first Sunday after Thanksgiving each year, collects new toys and cash donations that go to lowincome families struggling to put gifts under their Christmas trees. All donations go to Abbotsford Community Services, which then distributes the teddy bears and trucks and cash to its Christmas bureau and to its counterparts in Chilliwack, Mission, Hope and Agassiz. “Everybody, all those five communities get something out of the toy run,” said Hopkins. The charity ride began in 1986 with Hopkins’ parents, Barney Sr. and Lenore (they were affectionately called Pa and Ma by everyone, not just their kids), and some of their eight adult children.

Jean Konda-Witte/TIMES

Danny Hopkins’s (in the Santa suit) parents started the Fraser Valley Toy Run 27 years ago. Bikers from Chilliwack, Mission and Abbotsford ride to the Ag-Rec Building in Abbotsford, laden down with toys on Oct. 20. one will be riding Ma’s bike again this year. To cover the event’s expenses, ride volunteers hold hot dog sales, garage sales through the year and sell toy run T-shirts, he said. Last year, the City of Abbotsford came through with a grant to help cover costs. This year donations from the Dewdney-Alouette

The Mission family would ride in the annual event together until Barney Sr.’s death. For many years after, until she was into her 70s, Lenore would ride a vintage white threewheeler Harley that her children bought for her. Hopkins and his siblings have continued to the tradition after she passed away three years ago. Some-

Regional District and a financial institution should also help, said Hopkins. They also connect with local bike clubs in the Fraser Valley to get them to participate. While only 150 riders took part last year due to heavy rain, some years, close to 900 motorcyclists have participated, bringing in

almost 1,000 new toys. The event culminates at the AgRec building in Abbotsford. Riders and others can get doughnuts and coffee, buy toy ride T-shirts and hats, and enter draws and raffles. There are draws for a Harley Davidson jacket, a one-night stay in Harrison Hot Springs, meat packages, pillows and a king-size quilt that the women riders spent the year making. Donated toys and gifts should be new and unwrapped. “And don’t forget the teenagers. We don’t expect an iPod, but even something useful like a razor or a gift certificate would be appreciated,” Hopkins said. The ride will leave Mission from the parking lot of Liquidation World on Horne Street at 9:45 a.m. on Oct. 20. The ride from Chilliwack leaves the Sears parking area at Cottonwood Mall on Luckakuck Way at 9 a.m. The two groups meet at the Abbotsford Automall before arriving at the Ag-Rec building in Abbotsford at about 10:15 a.m. There is no registration or entry fee—just show up. The ride and the event at Ag-Rec are on rain or shine. This is a pinned event, all bikes are welcome. Volunteers will be on site to take donations until about 12:30 p.m. ◗ To find out more details you can contact Hopkins at 604-832-3243.

What Should You Do if Someone is Having a Heart Attack?

A21

W. Gifford-Jones, MD

I

t has been widely talked about for many years so it doesn’t come as a big surprise... heart disease, strokes and heart attacks are at an all-time high, affecting millions of Canadians. In fact, about 8 out of 10 Canadians are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease -a devastating illness that 74,000 people die from each year.

What exactly is a heart attack? When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis, the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, causes more than 90% of heart attacks. A heart attack may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts or goes into a severe spasm, shutting off blood flow to the heart. Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree. Many heart attacks aren’t as dramatic as the ones you’ve seen on TV. Some people have no symptoms at all, while for others, the first sign may be sudden cardiac arrest. Still, the more signs and symptoms, the greater the likelihood that person may be having a heart attack. The severity of heart attack symptoms can vary too. Some people have mild pain, while others experience severe pain. A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you’re resting, or while you’re in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest warning of a heart attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that is triggered by exertion. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.

Common symptoms include: Y unWmmknW` lSUTlrWmm` pgSr` qn g mokWWaSrU qn geTSrU sensation in the chest or arms. It may also spread to the neck, jaw or back.

What to do if you see someone having a heart attack?

The western red cedar — Tall and strong. Home to birds, squirrels and insects. Loves the moist climate of BC. It’s lived here for hundreds of years. It should live for hundreds more. And not make way for a pipeline. 70% of the Northern Gateway Pipeline route will use previously disturbed land, like old forestry roads, cut blocks and other disturbances. We have planned the route to minimize tree removal where possible and we will work to avoid old growth forests.
