Aformer Chilliwack teacheraccused of sexually assault-ing two students in 2010 hadbeen told to stop touching studentsmultiple times years before he wascharged with a crime, according toinformation published by theMin-istry of Educations Teacher Regu-lation Branch.Charges of sexual assault and

sexual interference against JasonEppwere dropped on Aug. 31, 2011when Crown counsel concluded itwas unlikely he would have beenconvicted if his case had gone totrial.But Epp, a former Grade 2 teach-

er at Sardis elementary, has sinceadmitted to professional miscon-duct in an agreement with theTeacher Regulation Branch.The Consent Resolution Agree-

ment, a voluntary agreementsigned by Epp, covers incidentsthat involved him touching stu-dents at Sardis elementarybetween2002 and 2009.School district staff first talked to

Acar explosion that rockedthe Riverside Drive area ofChilliwack Saturday eveningwas not the result of a criminal act,according to local RCMP.Police evacuated residences and

called in police dogs and a bombdisposal unit after an explosion ata residence in the 46000 block ofRiverside Drive rattled windowsand set off car alarms at about 7:50p.m. Saturday.Firefighters had arrived on the

scene earlier to find a car engulfedin flames in the homes drivewayand its lone occupant lying on theground conscious nearby.The man was sent to hospital

and treated for superficial burns.RCMP took over the investigation

after preliminary circumstancessuggested the explosion, which blewdebris 30 metres from the scene,might have been caused by a crimi-nal act.Mounties called in the Lower

Mainland Integrated Forensic Iden-tification Section, the Lower Main-land Integrated Police Dog Serviceand the RCMP Explosives Disposalunit to help.Subsequent Investigation, though,

proved that the explosion was notcaused by a criminal act, but pos-sibly, amotor vehicle defect, RCMPspokespersonCpl. Len vanNieuwen-huizen said in a press release. Evi-dence indicated thatwhen the victimwent to turn on the vehicle it ignitedvapours from a leaking fuel line andcaused theexplosion.Mounties have now requested a

mechanical inspection of the vehi-cle to find out the specific cause ofthe explosion.

The B.C. government will behosting a forum in Chilli-wack sometime in Novem-ber to seek public opinion

on provincial highway speed limits.The province is in the process of

reviewing speed limits on longerstretches of highway in betweencommunities, and the forum willserve as part of the public engage-ment process, which will alsoinclude social media and onlinefeedback.Public input and information from

a technical review will be used todetermine where speed limit adjust-ments are appropriate.According to a Ministry of Trans-

port press release, an initial technicalreview is currently being conducted,which includes an evaluation of lat-est research from around the world,specific characteristics of B.C. high-ways, travel speed, safety history and

volume andmix of traffic.Although not formally part of the

review process, local residents haveexpressed concern over speed limitsand structure on a portion of High-way 1 that tends to flood betweenthe Annis and Agassiz exits on acommunity Facebook page.They even have signs warning

of pooling water on the[highway]. What are theengineering standards forprovincial highways? Mycar almost hydroplanedfour times, said residentShauna Martens Jimmie on Oct. 1.I was even going under the speedlimit. That section of road is so dan-gerous. I even got off the [highway]because of it.I have driven this strip four times

a day for 14 years. In heavy rain thewater pooling on the road in hills isterribly treacherous, replied Laurel

Sinclair Janzen. Ive hydroplanedwhen driving below the speed limit,so has my husband and Ive seen ithappen to other vehicles as well.Dates for the forums are to be

determined, but other communitiesinclude Kamloops, Nanaimo, PrinceGeorge, Dawson Creek, Vancou-ver, Kelowna and Cranbrook. Other

communities will beadded as necessary.The government

will also be seekingpublic input on howto reduce crashes

involving wildlife on rural provin-cial highways, and reviews on howto improve the safe movement ofslower vehicles.Input from the Union of B.C.

Municipalities, ICBC, police andother key authorities will also besought, with practical recommenda-tions from the review and a strategy

for implementation expected to beready in spring 2014.

Possible local speed limit changesThe City of Chilliwack is already

considering raising speed limits onsome rural roads within the munici-pality.Back in April, Dave Harder of the

citys Rural Issues Advisory Commit-tee requested that the speed limit onYale RoadWest from the Travelodgeto Evans Road be increased.At its Sept. 24meeting, city council

then endorsed a resolution that theTransportation Advisory Commit-tee identify rural roads that can haveincreased speed limits.The stretch of Yale RoadWest was

suggested along with Wolfe Roadfrom the citys wastewater treat-ment plant to Chilliwack MountainRoad.

Speed limit review comes to Chilliwack

But her work doesnt end there,asVanderWyk has also hosted andfacilitated a summer camp at CultusLake for the last 14 years for childrenwith SMA fromaround the globe.In a previous interviewwith the

Times, VanderWyk stated the pos-sibility of winning $100,000 forFamilies of SMA Canadameantmore than any title.Finding a cure for this disease is

paramount. There are parents thatdont even knowyet that theirchild has it, andthere are parentsthat havent evenconceived yetthat will be goingthrough this hor-rid pain,VanderWyk said. This

needs to end.In addition to a day of pamper-

ing inToronto,VanderWyk and theseven other finalists were also eachawarded $10,000 for themselves.The other finalists also received

principal saw him seatedwith his arm arounda students waist, the district wrote Epp a let-ter directing him to avoid all physical contactwith students unless heneeded to intervene toensure their physical safety.Hewas again seen holding a students hand

in April 2004, and on May 3, 2005 he wasdirected by the district to avoid inappropriatephysical contactwith students.Fouryears laterhewasobserved inhisGrade

2 class in a chair with a group of students clus-tered closely aroundhim.Epp had his right hand on the buttocks of a

student for several seconds, apparently to redi-rect the student, the agreement states.Epp has agreed the incidents constitute pro-

fessionalmisconduct, andhehas agreed to thecancellationof 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 thebasis of interviewswith two Sardis elementarystudents.

Mounties conducted a comprehensiveinvestigation that included roughly 130interviews with students, parents and staffmembers.Police also interviewed all children in Epps

Grade 2 classes in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years.After reviewing the evidence, however,

Crown counselWendy vanTomgeren-Harveyasked for a stay of proceedings and all chargesagainst Eppweredropped.Buthis case remainedactivebefore thenow-

inMay 2012, the commissioner of the Teach-er Regulation Branch proposed a ConsentResolution Agreement to Epp in July 2013. Hesigned it on Aug. 14, and wont be eligible toapply for a new teaching certificate until July31, 2019.

Brand new school, brand new vibe.Thats the mantra of this years Chilliwack

secondary school leadership class, and sofar they are crushing it, helping to raise morethan $4,500 for the Terry Fox Run throughtheir first fundraiser lastmonth.Our school culture this year has just been

phenomenal, teacher Andrea Doerksensaid. The leadership class is just out of thisworld.In the previous two years combined,

the schools Terry Fox Run fundraiser hadbrought in a measly $20, but students thisyear were determined to raise the bar wayup, 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 weirdthings at lunch time.In the schools lobby, leadership students

set up a map of Terry Foxs intended cross-Canada route divided into 12 checkpoints.Every $250 in donations got Terry one

check point closer to his goal. To get him allthe way across Canada, the school wouldneed to come upwith $3,000.For extra incentive, each checkpoint also

earned students a lunchtime performancefrom teachers who signed up to completevarious dares ranging from taking pies in the

face to twerking.Doerksen herself kicked off the festivi-

ties by beating gym teacher Curtis Tieu in apushup contest.So many kids came down and emp-

tied their wallets and we raised $804 at thatassembly, Doerksen said.It all just got weirder from there.At $1,250, business teacher Steve Ander-

son dressed up as Mrs. Doubtfire; at $1,500English teacher Muriel Morriss dachshundSmashing Pumpkin raced shop teacher Kev-inMoores 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 GaryBadkers moustache, something the longtimeteacher has only allowed twice in his life.His wife texted me and said, I cannot

believe youre doing this to my husband,Doerksen said with a laugh.A couple of students, Meindert Hinlopen

and Patrick Hylkema, who together raisedalmost $1,500, also joined the fray, gettingtheir heads shaved at $2,250.Chilliwack secondarys $4570.71 was

accepted byTerry Foxs niece Jessie Alder at aCSS assemblyThursday.

Whether or not residentsin Chilliwack are payingattention to the citys Offi-cial Community Plan (OCP) updateis the subject of some uncertainty.The second phase of engage-

ment into the OCP update is nowover and while more than 2,500computer users have viewed thewebsite dedicated to the plan, less

than 100 people have commentedonline and even fewer showedup atlive public events.Manager of long range planning

Karen Stanton who is heading upthe OCP review gave city council anupdate on the status of the processat councils Sept. 24meeting.Stanton talked about the feed-

back received via surveys, the Plac-eSpeak website, a Yarrow visionworkshop and two communitycafe evenings.

We havent had a really highturnout, Stanton said of the publicforums, when asked if more wereplanned in the fall.She said surveys seem to be a

more popular way for people toprovide feedback into the OCPupdate, which is a vision statementlooking at development and growthscenarios to the year 2040.Coun. Jason Lum suggestedmore

needed to be done to get informa-tion out and receive feedback on

what will ultimately be the over-arching piece of policy for the next30 years.Mayor Sharon Gaetz was more

optimistic, pointing to the numberofuniqueviewsontheOCPupdatepage atwww.placespeak.com.She said she thought the inter-

action was pretty good when youlook at our population and think2,637 took a look, when some reallyare not familiarwith computers anddont trust that whole process.

There have been, however, just 87comments since the site was set upnearly a year ago.More live public forums may be

held in the fall, but Stanton said nodates have been set yet.Gaetz said the public should

be reminded that feedback is stillsought and people can still tell thecity about their priorities.The bus hasnt left the stop yet,

she said. You can still go back andcomment.

Opening day of the 2013-2014 National HockeyLeague season wasmarred by a disturbing incidentduring a fight between GeorgeParros of theMontreal Canadiensand Colton Orr of the TorontoMaple Leafs.Parros lost his balance during

the scuffle and landed, foreheadfirst, onto the ice.He was knocked unconscious

from the blow and laymotionlesson the ice for several minutes,before eventually being put ontoa stretcher and taken to the clos-est hospital. The good part aboutthe incident is that, by earlyaccounts, Parros will recover.On a grander scale, what the

incident did was ignite the debateabout fighting in the NHL, for theumpteenth time.The faction of hockey analysts,

fans and even former playerscalling for an end to fighting inhockey grows every year andthose numbers will likely spikeagain with this latest incident.Should fighting be banned? The

debate rages on.Will fighting bebanned? Not anytime soon. Itsnot only toomuch a part of thesports culture, but its also toomuch of amarketing tool for thesport.Video game companies usefighting as selling points for theirhockey games. Television sportsmedia types drool when a goodhockey fight happens: highlight-

reel stuff. Until a fight breaks outat a hockey game and nobodygets up to cheer, it will remain inthe game.And thats a shame.I dont mind the fight that

occurs when one player takesexception to a cheap shot deliv-ered to him by another playerand decides to takematters intohis own hands. Thats no differentother than the lack of conse-quencethan the baseball playerwho charges themound after apitcher throws at his head.I dont even have a huge prob-

lemwith one teams tough guygoing after someone who tooka cheap shot at his teams topplayer. But unfortunately, thosetwo instances are the exception,rather than the rule.More often than not, what hap-

pens is if my second-line playerknees your first-line player, myfourth-line tough guy and yourfourth-line tough guy line up nextto each other one or two shiftslater and, as soon as the puck isdropped, so are their gloves.That is the kind of fighting that

should be taken out of hockey,because it is, for themost part,unnecessary.Sadly, those are the fights peo-

ple really want to see. Lets face it:George Parros is not in the NHLfor his skating ability. Colton Orrdoes notmake nearly amilliondollars a year because he has a100-mile-per-hour slapshot.Those who say, take away

fighting and you ruin the sportreally must question their logic.The fact is that the vast numberand by vast I meanmore than 90per centof people who play, orhave played, hockey have neverplayed in a league that allowsfighting.Fighting is not allowed in

minor hockey. It is not allowedin anymens league with whichI have ever been associated.There certainly is no fighting inany old-timers leagues. And yet,somehow, people still consider itintegral to the sport.Odd, that.In themeantime, enjoy the

regular season. And for all of youwho think that fighting is integralto the game, enjoy the 17-daybreak, from Feb. 9 to 26, when theNHL season is put on hold for the2014Winter Olympics.Surely youwont bewatching

that. It will be as boring as all heck.

No gainsand notco-operativeW

eve already heard enoughabout the so-called co-oper-ative gains mandate to lasta lifetime, but were going to

hear a lot more of that phrase.Somewhere, tucked into an office in

the Legislature or in a BC Liberal backroom, is the architect of that phrase. Thisperson is one of the masters of Orwelliandoublethink.Co-operative gains is what the govern-

ment calls its policy of giving public sec-tor workers raises, without actually givingthem any more money.How does that work, you ask? Appar-

ently, the Liberals believe that contractslike the ones they just signed with theCUPE school support staff will be magi-cally filled thanks to the pots of lepre-chaun gold that all school districts havehidden under the board office founda-tions.In reality, it will mean finding money by

cutting something else in the short term,and in the long term, likely by reducingthe number of people on the supportstaff payroll.Which will, of course, haveno impact on schools being cleaned,blocked pipes being cleared, or bad wir-ing being fixed.This seems to be part of the belief by

many governments, not just the provin-cial folks, that there is always waste, andthat cutting of this waste can andmust goon indefinitely.Now, either this is true, and the govern-

ment will eventually be two guys, oneof whomwill fire the other, or it isnt. Ifit isnt, then eventually everything thatsnot vitally necessary will have been cutalready.Considering that the Liberals have been

in power for more than a dozen years,youd think theyd have finished this pro-cess by now.So to sum up: co-operative gains

involve no co-operation, and no onegains any extra resources fromVictoria.But someone had fun coming up with thename.

than 40 per cent of work-ing-age people in BritishColumbia have a hard timewith the everyday demandsof reading,writing and usingnumbers. Meaning, theymay be unable to read evena bedtime story to their kids(Literacy BC).As it stands, 31 per cent

of British Columbiansmayhave difficulty reading thissentence.Now youmay ask, where

does such a high failure ratecome from? In a countrythat keeps all youngstersin school for almost eightor nine years (andmost ofthem considerably longer),it is indeed sad that somanywould go through the pro-cess and not acquiremostrudimentery knowledge ofthe written language.To put it bluntly, our

schools arent making thegrade. As it stands, teachingof reading in our schools islike a game ofmusical chairswhere a third of the playerslose their seats even beforethemusic starts.That is a shamewhen,

according to Dr. BarbaraBateman, a well-knownauthority on education,

Near failure-proof methodsof teaching all children toread are already available.Continued failure of schoolsto employ the [phonetic-based] programs is at leastnegligent and at worst mali-cious.It needs stressing that

public school system isin decline not for want ofmoney. Its more abouthow funds are spent. So, letspending smart be ournewmantra.

Feeling blessedby concertEditor:What an exquisite sun-

shinymorning I had onFriday.At 10 a.m.my 101-year-

oldmusic-loving friend and

I entered the Rotary Halldramatically all black exceptfor several round tablesclothed in red clusteredbefore a gleaming blackgrand piano.We could evenbring our free coffees and adelicious pastry from SardisBakery to our table!And then we were indeed

enthralled for the followinghour and a half listening toSarah Hagen on the pianoand Ariel Barnes on thecello play selections fromSchumann, Shostakovichand Beethoven.The rapport between

these two performers andtheir instruments was car-ried over to the audience asthey dazzled us with theirtalent and charmed us withtheir background introduc-tions to each composer andeach selection.At the concerts end I felt

I couldnt applaud loudenough to showmy appre-

ciation to the performersfor makingme feel so deliri-ously filled with pleasureand gratitude.As we stepped back out

into the sunshine, we bothfelt incredibly blessed.In November, Sarah will

be joined by Joan Blackman,a violinist; in February, Ben-jamin Butterfield, a tenor;and inMarch, Oto Carrillo.I cant wait! This incredibleconcert series needs a goodattendance to continuebeing offeredcome and fillyourmorning with rapture!

Single-family-home sales surgeThe sale of single-family homes inChilliwack has been surging of latewhile apartment and townhouse salesremain stagnant.There were 194 residential home

sales worth $58million in September inthe Chilliwack and District Real EstateBoard (CADREB) region.Thats a 28 per cent increase over the

153 sales for the samemonth last year.And of last months sales, 119 were

single family homes, itself a 63 per centincrease over single family home sales

in September 2012.Sales of townhouses over that period

actually went down and apartmentsstayed about the same.Continued low interest rates are

making it possible for more hom-eowners to make the transition from acondo or a townhome to a single fam-ily home, CADREB president JesseHildebrandt said in a press release.This incites more listings and createsa 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 anoth-er strong month in August, which saw109 sold, a 60 per cent increase overAugust 2012. Total residential sales forAugust were at 184, worth $54 million,up from 124 and $36 million for thesamemonth last year.

in and didnt faremuch better asPieper scored his second short-handed and thenCoreyMackinbeat the backup on a soft goalfloated at the net.That fourth goal extinguished the

Plenty ofpucks onnet, justno finishCHIEFS, from page 13

WEB FIRSTFirst reported onchilliwacktimes.com


On the first play from scrimmage Saturday, Valley Husker receiver Jason Ghag bobbled this pass and bounced it to a Langley Ram who ran it in for a touchdown.


They might not have earned aplayoff spot, butValley Huskersplayers could look each otherin the eye after Saturdays 59-24 lossto the Langley Rams and say theyddone their best.That was the challenge head coach

Tyson St. James put to them beforethe game, and he said hes satisfiedthats what they did.I feel like they at least tried their

best after the circumstances thathave befallen this season, he told

theTimes.The score was cer tainly an

improvement over the last time thetwo teams met, when defendingBCFC champion Rams trounced thehapless Huskers 54-7.The Huskers actually out-passed

their opponents 236 yards to 180 thistime around with Cody Parray com-pleting 11 of 22 passes for 228 yardsthrough the air.

His favourite target was CodyVin-nish, who pulled in seven passesfor 132 yards, including one touch-down.The numbers were a little more

lopsided on the ground with theHuskers registering 119 yards rush-ing to the Rams 244.Ty DeRayos was the Huskers top

rusher, carrying the ball 12 times for48 yards; Misha Otanga was right

behind with 42 yards on six carries.With the Rams scoring a pile of

defensive points (including a touch-down after picking off the Huskersfirst pass of the game 28 seconds in)the Huskers defence actually playedbetter than the 59 Rams pointswould 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 theKamloops Broncos, but Kamloopsleads in points for and will nowadvance to the post-season.

Rams put end to Husker playoff hopesKamloops Broncos post-seasonbound thanks to points advantage

The only thing that couldovershadow the successof the University of theFraserValley (UFV) Cascadesmens golf team this year isthe fact that the women are,arguably, evenbetter.It was championshipweek-

end at Chilliwack Golf &Country Club as theCascadeshosted the final PACWESTtournament, and both teamshandily won the conferenceby 50 strokes.Coach Chris Bertram, who

knew he had good golfers onhis hands, was even shockedby the success.Im incredibly proud all

of the players on this team,he told theTimes. I knewwehad a talented group but Ididnt foresee us going unde-feated. In team golf, you haveto compete against everyschool every week, so thisreally is remarkable.Led by Chilliwacks Aaron

Pauls who shot a 65 Satur-day, the UFV men cruised toa total score of 1,717, beatingsecond place Camosun Col-legewith 1,767 strokes.Third was University of

British Columbia Okana-gan (UBC-O) with 1,781 fol-lowed by Douglas Colleges(DC) 1,782. Rounding out theseven schools wasVancouverIsland University (VIU) with1,808, Thompson Rivers Uni-versity (TRU) with 1,857 and

Kwantlen PolytechnicUniver-sitywith 1,870.Pauls finished third on the

individual overall standingswith UFV players DarrenWhitehouse tied for fourth,Simon Blaker in sixth andConnor ODell, who shot astunning 63 Sunday, in sev-enth.ODells two-day cumula-

tive total of 135 put him firstoverall in individual scoring atthe tournament.As for the women, Dani

Shap, Jen Woods and KelleyDalzell scored a total of 950for the three-tournament sea-son, beating out VIUs 1000,UBC-Os 1,113, TRUs 1,116andDCs 1,224.Shaps 80 and 76 on the

weekendwas good enough toearn her first individual, andher three-season 474 meansshe was crowned 2013 PAC-WEST individual champion.Woods was second over-

all with a three-tournamentscore of 480.The Cascades men will

make their sixth straightappearance at the CanadianCollege Athletic Association(CCAA) Ping national cham-pionships, Oct. 15 to 18 inQuebec. They go into thetournament ranked numberthree in theCCAA top-10poll.As this is the first year as a

Your lawyer, notary, protects your interests.YOU NEED TO DECIDE WHAT YOUWANT TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOURPROPERTY AFTER YOU DIE.When you die without a will, the law says exactlyhow the things you own (your estate) will be dividedbetween your spouse and your children or among yourparents, brothers and sisters.

When you make a will, you can say who will geteverything that you leave behind. You can namesomeone - an executor - to follow the instructions inyour will and settle your estate. And you can namesomeone - a guardian - to look after your children ifboth you and your spouse die while they are young.

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

Your Advisors job is to write your will so that yourwishes are clear and can be followed after you die.

Your advisor will tell you aboutvarious laws that may affect what youput in your will. For example, theWills Variation Act says that yourspouse and your children have a rightto apply to vary the terms of your willafter you die. Your will cannot takeaway this right.

Your advisor can also give youinformation about the taxes that willhave to be paid after you die.

When you see a advisor who writeswills and probates estates, who cantake advantage of that knowledge andexperience to make sure that the value of your propertyisn't reduced by family quarrels or taxes that could havebeen avoided.

YOU NEED TO CHOOSE ANEXECUTOR.When you make a will, you need to choose anexecutor. An executor takes care of your property

after you die and follows the instructions in yourwill. Your property includes everything you own andany money you have. An executor's duties includemaking a list of all your property, using your propertyto pay your debts and taxes and distributing the restof your property to the people named in your will.

When you choose an executor, you should picksomeone who is reliable and has some business sense.Your executor may have to work with a advisor, areal estate agent and government officials to settleyour estate. Your executor needs to be able to getinformation fromprofessionals and make good decisions.

BE PREPARED FOR YOUR FIRSTMEETING WITH YOUR ADVISOR.Your advisor needs to know what you want to say inyour will. Before you meet your advisor, think aboutyour answers to these questions.

Who do I want to get mypossessions after I die?

Who do I want to name asexecutor?

If I have children under 19,who do I want to name as aguardian for my children?

What will happen if thepeople I want to leave myproperty to, or my executor,or my guardian die before Ido?

Your advisor also needs to knowexactly what you own. Prepare alist, include your house, Registered

Retirement Savings Plan, life insurance policy, andbusiness interests. Do you own any of these thingswith someone else? If you do, bring copies of theownership documents to this meeting. Do yourinsurance policies or retirement savings plans namea beneficiary, the person who will receive the moneywhen you die? Include the name of the beneficiaryon your list.

When you have awill, you are leaving

instructions about yourwishes, and your familywill not have to worryabout what to do.
