Wednesday and ordered not to have contact with children under the age of 16. He will reappear in court on June 1 for an arraignment hearing.

Neither the RCMP nor administrators at Sardis elementary would comment on the case Monday. A

press conference was scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the charges.

The Times has learned, however, that Epp was placed on personal leave on May 4. He had taught Grade 2 at Sardis for several years and was the school’s lead tech

teacher, according to a post he made on an Internet forum last November.

Last year he was lauded by the school board for his work as part of a team that introduced students and staff to the school district’s new computer system.

CULTUS LAKE TWO WAYS TO CRUISE

The hot weather last weekend had Cultus Lake hopping with boaters of all types. The camping/boating/beach-going season is here to stay and Cultus will likely be busy until September. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for the long weekend is cloudy with a 40 per cent chance of showers Saturday and Sunday.

small group of Chilliwack River Valley residents went to Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner’s office Monday morning to present a petition opposing a gravel mine application in the Larson’s Bench area.

“We are asking you to place a moratorium on this project until the proper environmental assessments have been completed,” Jennifer Federspiel said to Penner’s staff after presenting the petition with 856 signatures.

Federspiel was accompanied by residents of the valley and said she spoke on behalf of the Chilliwack River Valley Ratepayers Association, the Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley and Ecologic BC. “These signatures were See GRAVEL, Page 5

The Chilliwack Chiefs were hoping a potential change in smoking rules at the Coliseum wouldn’t affect hockey ticket sales.

The district’s parks and rec department had suggested smoking be banned from the building. People attending hockey games were complaining about cigarette smoke in the lobby and corridors where lighting up is allowed.

Ken Britz, a hospital cook, tells NDP health critic Adrian Dix about the Hospital Employees Union’s contract proposal to Fraser Health. Dix was in Chilliwack Friday to listen to workers’ concerns.

Workers fighting for their jobs

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

D

ozens of food service workers at Chilliwack General Hospital and Heritage Village are facing the loss of their jobs after Fraser Health rejected a proposal that the union says would slash costs.

Two of the Chilliwack General Hospital workers who crafted the proposal say it would save millions of dollars and cut jobs at the hospital.

Ron LeBlanc and Ken Britz say they know that cost pressures mean jobs need to be cut. Indeed, the workers’ offer would eliminate both the men’s jobs.

“We’re looking at some job cuts for sure,” said Britz, a cook at the hospital. “It’s the only way.”

Added LeBlanc: “It’s an extremely fair deal. . . . It’s all about saving money.”

The Hospital Employees Union’s proposal would have cut 16 fulltime staff positions, the pair told the Times. It would save $747,000 each year from labour and food costs.

Hospital Employees Union deal would save Fraser Health $747,000 . . . but that may not be enough But in a letter sent to the HEU, Fraser Health said an analysis “clearly demonstrates that the HEU proposal actually delivers no net savings when unavoidable and prudent costs are included.”

LeBlanc said the union has tried to meet with Fraser Health to get the specifics of why its proposal was rejected. But he said Fraser Health has been unwilling to discuss the situation further.

A memo sent to Fraser Health staff

by Fraser Health CEO Nigel Murray gave union members “a sense [that] any proposal would be dismissed unless it was a third party submission,” according to a union response.

Indeed Fraser Health is anticipating contracting out integrated food, laundry, housekeeping and waste management services to a private company, according to Fraser Health spokesperson Ray Thorpe. The con-

tract is expected to be awarded in the next few weeks.

“The decision was made to go that way, in pursuit of efficiency and savings to redirect money to front line healthcare delivery,” said Thorpe.

“It’s anticipated [that] bundling these non-clinical support services in this way will save Fraser Health approximately $1 million per year.”

He could not say how many workers would be employed by the private contractor.

LeBlanc and Britz said many hospital workers already make less than a living wage. The pair warn that, if the hospital contracts food services to a company that pays even less, quality and sanitary conditions will suffer.

But Thorpe said safeguards will be in place to ensure the quality of service remains high.

“The decision to issue an RFP (request for proposals) for these non-

clinical support services is in no way a reflection of the current service and the dedication of the staff performing these duties. It’s entirely about looking for ways to be more efficient and save money that can be reinvested into health care services.”

He said the union’s proposal simply did not save as much money as a private contractor would.

“Their proposal was evaluated and considered. It just wasn’t the best proposal for us.”

After Fraser Health hires a private contractor, union workers would have six months left at their jobs.

After that, some may be eligible to bump less-experienced workers from their jobs at other health care facilities, while others could receive additional education. However, a large number of casual employees without full union benefits would have no recourse, beyond unemployment.

Parent rallying support for failing school system

C

hilliwack parent Chris Bukowsky is calling out local MLAs Barry Penner and John Les on their government’s funding of education—so far he hasn’t heard back.

“I would just love to hear from them how they think these policies benefit my kids and the community’s kids,” said Bukowsky. “I would like for them to speak the truth to me, not ministry mantra.”

Bukowsky invited the two Liberal MLAs to an education rally he has organized for this Thursday, May 20 at Tzeachten Hall.

Dubbed the Kids Matter Rally for Education, the gathering is a protest against what Bukowsky calls the underfunding of education in B.C. The “mantra” he’d like MLAs to get past is the ministry of education’s claim that perstudent funding in the province has gone up every year since 2001.

While this may be true on paper, said Bukowsky, increases have not kept pace with inflation, teacher salary increases the government negotiated and other costs like the provincial carbon tax.

As a result, he said, boards of education around the province struggle with budget shortfalls every year.

“Schools are the most important buildings in the community,” said Bukowsky. “When we underfund them we pay exponentially more in other areas.”

In Chilliwack, the school district is in the process of balancing next year’s budget by cutting 53 jobs, closing schools for an extra week

Our VISION is

at spring break and charging students for busing.

Bukowsky, whose daughter Brianna is in Grade 11 at G.W. Graham secondary, said he doesn’t mind sharing the load in tough times, but feels government officials should do their share too. The final straw for him came after he heard Premier Gordon Campbell and B.C. Hydro executives had chartered private jets to fly to Hudson’s Hope for the announcement of the Site C hydro project.

“I don’t expect them to take a bus,” said Bukowsky, “but they could do something more reasonable for the taxpayers in light of our deficit and in light of the fact that my daughter now has to pay $2 to ride the bus.”

Bukowsky created a Facebook group—kids_ matter—and soon attracted the attention of others frustrated with education funding in the province.

At the rally, set for 7 p.m., Bukowsky hopes to have one of the Sardis drum groups on hand to make some noise between speeches from students, teachers and school board trustee John-Henry Harter. He’ll be contributing his own rant as well.

He has no idea how many people will show up, but said organizing the rally has helped him channel his frustration to motivate others.

“It gave me a sense of empowerment,” he said. “I don’t have to just sit at home and have my blood boil; I can do something.” ◗ For more information about the rally, email kids_matter@shaw.ca or visit the Facebook page kids_matter.

ust saying no to drugs won’t save kids from addiction.

That’s the message keynote speaker Gabor Mate is bringing to the 17th Annual Consultation on Chilliwack’s Children and Youth this Friday at Sardis secondary.

The consultation, organized by the Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee (CYC), is a day of professional development, networking and planning for teachers and other agencies that work with children in the city, and this year’s

GRAVEL, from page 1 collected between April 25 and today, and reflect the widespread concern throughout the province and beyond in regards to the importance of the Chilliwack River Watershed,” Federspiel wrote in a letter to Penner accompanying the petition.

The application by Brent Tolmie and Southview Sorting Ltd. has garnered considerable opposition in the valley by those who are concerned about recreational values as well as truck traffic and environmental damage.

Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) Area E director Dave Lamson was at Penner’s office Monday, but was quick to divert attention from his own presence to those of the residents with concerns.

In an interview with the Times last Thursday, Lamson suggested the public does not have accurate information regarding the proposed gravel mine.

Even as the elected representative on the FVRD board for those who live in the Chilliwack River Valley, Lamson said he can’t figure out exactly what is being proposed and why there seems to be so much conflicting information.

“My concern is the correct information gets out to the public,” he said citing one example: “How many loads day? If it was only six a day we wouldn’t worry too much.”

The application for the gravel pit estimates the total mineable reserves over the 40-year life of the mine to be 30 million tonnes. The estimated annual extraction is listed at 176,000 tonnes

theme is addictions.

Mate, a doctor who works with drug addicts on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, was invited to share insight from his work and his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addictions based on his experiences in Vancouver’s drug ghetto.

But he won’t just be talking about drugs.

“When you look at the brain biology or the emotional dynamics of any addiction, it’s the same processes,” he said in a recent interview with the Times. “In fact, the same brain circuits are involved. It doesn’t matter whether it’s to drugs or

gambling or the Internet. Unless they’ve dealt with the underlying process, people will typically give up one addiction to go into another.”

According to him, the foundations for addiction are laid in early childhood when babies are deprived of a nonstressed, nurturing caregiver, something he says interferes with the infant’s brain development.

In modern North American society, that gap is made worse by a peer culture that competes with kids’ attachments to grown-ups.

More time for Yaroslawsky

A

Chilliwack man will spend another four months in jail after pleading guilty to charges stemming from two separate incidents over the past year.

David J. Yaroslawsky pled guilty to mischief, possessing a prohibited weapon without a licence, unauthorized use of credit card data, and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Those charges stemmed from an incident in February in which a police officer confronted and arrested two men in downtown

05185916

Chilliwack who were acting suspicious around a vehicle.

The officer sustained a shoulder injury while making an arrest.

Yaroslawsky also pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance stemming from charges last November.

He was credited with having already served six months and 20 days in jail—double the time he has been incarcerated since his February arrest. He was also sentenced to 12 months of probation.

Explosions greet firefighters

A

fire tore through an outbuilding at a Chilliwack wall-panel manufacturer Friday evening, blowing up propane tanks and spreading to nearby vehicles.

About 30 Chilliwack firefighters arrived at Pro-Fit Structures 2007, on the 8400 block of Aitken Road, to find a fire ripping through a building used to make wood panels, a pick-up truck already ignited and flames

extending to a semi-truck with a full load of plastic pipe.

Exploding propane tanks hampered initial efforts to contain the flames, but firefighters did finally manage to smother the blaze and limit exposure damage to vehicles.

A large industrial building near the fire sustained no damage, according to the fire department, but the structure where the fire started was fully destroyed along

with all its contents.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation but it is not considered suspicious, says fire officials.

“It’s probably going to take us a couple days until we’re going to be able to get running again,” said owner James Dowdeswell.

“We’re trying to get this thing back in operation as soon as possible so we can take care of the customers.”

Ag plan approved Addressing gap that exists in the city’s Official Community Plan

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

F

or those Chilliwack residents unaware of the importance of local agriculture, a consultant’s report may make it clear.

At the May 3 meeting of city council, funding of was approved for a $74,000 Agricultural Area Plan (AAP). The plan will address the gap that exists in the city’s Official Community Plan, which has little room to address agricultural and rural planning.

The three main objectives of the project, according to city staff, are: to address strategies in a six-year-old Chilliwack Agri-

cultural Commission’s report; to increase public awareness about the impact of the agricultural sector on Chilliwack’s economy; and to engage in consultation with all involved about the future of agriculture in the city.

At the meeting, Coun. Diane Janzen spoke strongly in support of the plan.

“It has been done in other communities and I think it has been vitally important in terms of the rural/urban interface,” she said.

“It’s an idea whose time has come.”

Last June, the city applied to the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. for funding for the agriculture area plan. The funding is to be matched by the city and the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO). In December the application was approved in the amount of $37,000. The city and CEPCO will each put in $18,500.

A requests for proposals was issued and staffed deemed the bid by Don Cameron & Associates to be the best of two received.

The project is expected to be completed by December 2011.

Cow carcass clogs road Fell off the back of a pickup truck

Talk about take-out.

Every once in a while something happens in Chilliwack to remind residents that this is,

at its core, an agricultural community.

Such an event took place Saturday, when a cow carcass fell out of the back of a pickup truck and clogged traffic on Promontory Road, west of the junction with Chilliwack River Road.

A crane was called to lift the unfortunate bovine off the thoroughfare and back onto the truck.

n many instances crime is a random and unforeseen event. It is often spontaneous and completely unpredictable. A domestic argument gets out of hand and someone gets hurt. A dispute outside a bar turns ugly and someone pulls out a knife. A person is walking down the street and sees an unlocked car with a laptop sitting on the seat.

But by collecting incidents of criminal behaviour and looking for trends and commonalities, we often start to observe specific patterns that should alert us to what may lay around the corner.

Sometimes we see certain types of crime become more common during shifts in the economy.

Crime rates may spike in a particular jurisdiction on account of increased drinking and partying associated with an event such as the home team making a run for the Stanley Cup (fortunately, there’s no such threat of that in this part of the country).

But one of the best indicators that selected types of crime are soon to rise simply comes down to the time of year. And unfortunately, it’s just about upon us.

Summertime brings one of the most dependable assurances that criminal activity is about to jump.

The days are longer and the

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters nights are warmer. People drink and socialize more. They spend more time outdoors and there are more events and activities that bring strangers together, adding to the potential for conflict.

Families load up the trailer and take off for holidays and camping trips, leaving their home unattended and generally unwatched.

Mountain bikes and other recreation equipment that have been under lock and key for the past six months are now laying about in plain view. All this is compounded by the school calendar.

All of the sudden the crime-prone segment of youth have an additional seven hours a day to cause trouble. Even kids who have curfews are generally given the go ahead to stay out later once school is out.

Interviews with chronic, drug addicted offenders shed further light on summertime activities.

One addict reported he kept a notebook of every address in the neighbourhood with a camper or

trailer in the driveway and burglarized the residence as soon as it was gone. Another noted that garages and tool sheds are much less likely to be locked during summer.

Certainly the summer season creates a multitude of opportunities to commit crimes not so easily engaged in during other times of the year. But there’s more than just opportunity at play here.

Warm weather tends to make us anxious, irritable and short-tempered. Watch what happens to people deprived of air conditioning on a hot day. Or take note of motorists’ behaviour when they’re stuck idling in the heat for 20 minutes on account of a road paving crew.

One major study of riots in the U.S. indicated riots and violent protests are most likely when the temperature is between 27C and 32C. But as soon as the mercury exceeds 32C people are too hot to bother.

The next time you want to know what’s happening with crime in the city, your best bet may very well be to flip over to the weather channel. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the Fraser Valley and can be contacted at John.Martin@ufv.ca.

t’s not surprising that the Canadian Newspaper Association’s annual audit of Canadians’ access to governmentheld information found that B.C. is at the bottom of the list where transparency is concerned. In fact, it gave the province a D+.

“All democracies are built on the basis of openness and transparency,” John Hinds, the president and CEO of the association, said when releasing the results.

We couldn’t agree more.

Of course, journalists have a vested interest in wanting easy access to information. It’s what readers want and often need, and what readers often do not have the time or the knowledge to find.

But there is also a more profound principle involved. Information is key to making decisions. Whether you’re voting or trying to find out if your neighbourhood is safe, you need information to make a good choice.

To be sure, governments are gun-shy about revealing information for fear of endangering someone’s privacy rights.

But those concerns do not excuse the vacuum-sealed approach to releasing information. Moreover, even if you can find the information, you still often have to pay for its compilation—in amounts that make it prohibitive to obtain. Then government stalling tactics and appeals often stretch the potential release of information for months and months.

This past week, democracy was also dealt another blow when the Supreme Court of Canada decided, in an 8-1 split, not to back the National Post’s actions to protect a confidential source. The decision does not mean that journalists will not try to protect their sources, but it certainly means that those who would try will face less legal support—and that will send a chill through journalists and whistleblowers.

If the CNA thinks B.C. deserved a D+ , we’d also like to add a D- to the Supreme Court’s report card.

Both deserve a failing grade where democracy and freedom of information are concerned.

Not embarrassed at all

Editor: Regarding your story of May 14, “Trustees throw wrench in the works:” Trustee Wiens and I voted against the budget on the grounds that too much of the deficit burden is being placed on the shoulders of parents.

Trustee McKay is quoted as saying, “It’s just absolute political grandstanding,” he said. “All they can have us do is come back for another meeting. It serves no purpose.

I’m embarrassed for them both.”

Trustee McKay need not worry about being embarrassed for us because if he considers taking a stand for parents in this district to be “political grandstanding” and “serving no purpose,” he has a lot more to be embarrassed about for himself than for us.

Heather Maahs, trustee School District No. 33

Trustees should be commended Editor: Having been one of the parents that attended the school board meeting and voiced my opinion at this meeting on the administration shuffle occuring in our schools, I was quite disappointed to read that Doug McKay felt that Trustee Heather Maahs and Trustee Martha Weins decision not to vote for the budget was “absolute political grandstanding” The very fact that two trustees feel the budget is not acceptable and refuse to support the budget as it is has no value to our school board is disheartening. He points out “it serves no purpose.”

This may be his opinion, but I have to disagree. Mr. McKay, when it comes time to vote for new trustees, I, as a parent that attended and heard these same two trustees voice their displeasure that the board would not even consider stepping back for one year from spending $50,000 on non-mandatory association fees, and now seeing that they are again the only ones not supporting a budget due to concerns about costs being downloaded on parents and our children paying the price through administrative changes, I know which trustees I will be voting for—and it certainly isn’t the one that feels embarrassed for his collegues who are representing the people who voted them in in the first place.

My first response is to the rivers and streams of this wonderful valley. I have fished, hiked and used the Chilliwack River Valley for my recreation. I would like to address the proposed gravel mine. I would like to remind you of the Coquitlam River.

Take one long look at the devastation from one gravel mine operation. The Coquitlam River is nothing but a silted, clogged up drainaged ditch. I know, I grew up there.

The Hope River is becoming the same with propagators run off in march and barren winter farm fields which all contribute to silt runoff when the coho fry hatch. How much did the fish rehabilitation cost at Corbould Park and Camp River? I haven’t seen a coho or chum in the last four years as I walk there everday.

The Fraser River, where mountains of gravel are extracted and conveniently piled next to a cement plant, where pink salmon spawn.

Did I do my math wrong when I noticed massive clear cuts up the Chilliwack River Valley next to the proposed gravel mine?

I ride dirt bikes and I am appalled at the garbage left by campers who use this valley for drunken parties and weekend binging.

I am also utterly astonished at the destruction made by logging companies with complete road washouts and log falls clogging creeks.

The new shopping centre on Ashwell/ Evans is off limits to all because it’s on Native land. Why is there no proposed green space, maybe a walking trail along the Chilliwack River? This could be a jewel within the city core, but no one cares.

Industrial farming, bad air quality, corrupt officials.

Who do we blame? I say “us” because we don’t stand up against government and city planners. Hats off to the Europeans for they don’t take it lying down. They get out there and make changes and that’s why European governments are scared of the people not people scared of the governments.

It will all be gone in 20 years if we don’t get out there. Join a

club, get involved.

Oil spill a sign of the times Editor: With global disasters lurking on the horizon, today’s rapidly growing political and economical uncertainty has once again become the breeding ground of fearful questions about our future.

Have all of these modern technological and scientific advancements really brought us a healthier and safer world?

In recent weeks man’s effort to control and shape his own destiny has certainly received a harsh damper. Who would have thought that one ashspewing volcano in a tiny island country could have such an impact on international travel? And with the magnitude of the environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico reaching astronomical proportions, to think that only one drop of oil pollutes one million litres of water is not only mind-boggling but also very frightening.

More and more people, who used to put their faith in politicians and modern science, are wondering if such a faith might just turn out to be a dead-end street. In light of our country’s Christian heritage with Biblical principals deeply woven into the fabric of our legal system, it is little wonder that many people are also drawn to reflect on what the Bible has to say about the future of mankind.

Of course, there are those who would like to degrade the Bible to nothing more than a storybook. However, no scholar of academic substance denies that Jesus indeed existed. Interestingly, His coming was predicted many years before He walked the earth, and there are three times as many prophecies predicting that He is coming again. Perhaps the rising numbers of devastating earthquakes, hurricanes and droughts, which were also predicted, are signs the Bible is indeed more than just a storybook and that Jesus is coming again soon.

News ADDICTIONS, from page 5 “They spend way too much time with each other from an early age on, so they become each others’ models and cue givers,” said Mate. “They lose the benefit of nurturing relationships with adults, so they’re more likely to get into addictive behaviours.”

One area of growing concern is Internet addictions, according to CYC co-chair John Stellingwerff, who’ll be leading a workshop on the issue.

In his work with Chilliwack Community Services, he said he’s running into more and more parents concerned about their child’s out-ofcontrol Internet use.

“Their teenage son refuses to go to school and spends six, eight, even 10 hours a day, seven days a week, on the Internet,” he said.

“They don’t know what to do.”

But the Internet itself is not to blame, according to Mate, who says it’s just one more way young people predisposed to addiction try to fill an emptiness created in early childhood.

“As society changes, there are newer forms of behaviour that can draw people into addictive patterns,” he said, “but the fundamental patterns are the same.”

What kids need are nurturing relationships with adults, according to Mate, and if they can’t happen at home, they are that much more needed at school.

Of the more than 500 people expected to attend the consultation, about 400 will be teachers co-ordinating their May professional development day with the consultation for the second year.

Get together For Mate, who was himself a high school English teacher for three years, teachers are key to stemming the tide of addiction. But he a change of philosophy is also needed.

“For proper development, children need to be connected to nurturing adults,” he said, “and given that kids spend most of their time away from their actual parents from a very early age, those adults that they do spend their time with need to become much more than just conveyors of information. They need to become very solid attachment figures in these kids’ lives.”

Katharin Midzain, president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, couldn’t agree more, but she says teachers are hamstrung by a public suspicion of teachers who show affection to students or allow shows of affection from students, especially if they involve touching.

“Society is moving further and further away from allowing teachers to be that nurturing adult in a child’s life,” she said.

She adds it’s important for teachers and others who work with children and youth to get together to grapple with the issue.

Stellingwerff agrees.

“Rather than having individual professionals each doing their own thing with very little contact,” he said, “we bring everyone who’s involved together in one place to talk about what are the issues, what are the challenges, who’s doing what.”

he bounty of local products will be on display soon as the Chilliwack Farmers Market is back for a second season.

“It’s a beautiful sight at a local venue,” says market manager Geoffrey Dalman.

“After a long, cold spring, it’s my idea of paradise.”

Last year the market sold an astonishing variety of products for a first-year market, according to Dalman: strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, apples, pears, raspberries, grapes, onions, fiesta squash, spaghetti squash, pettipans, potatoes, corn, dragon beans, green beans, purple beans and more. There was also honey, jams, chutneys, barbecue sauce, local home-grown pork, fresh eggs, B.C. beef and the fresh bread, which always sells out quickly.

The market also featured jewelry, paintings, handblown glass and hand-craft-

Community MARKET, from page 15 young children insisting that their parents have to buy them fruit or vegetables,” said assistant market manager Heather Martin. Dalman’s father, Lyall Dalman, was central to posting signs and promoting the market as a member of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce in its first year but he needs some volunteer help this year due to an illness over the winter.

All market produce is grown locally or close by, such as in the Okanagan.

The market is based on the “make it, bake it or grow it” concept. The market is a member of the BC Farmers Market Association.

Produce is always dependent on what is ready at any given time. After a long, cool spring the crops tend to be a little later than normal. There is a chart showing when fruit and vegetables are normally ready to harvest in this area

Vendors meet on the market website. There are wonderful photos and more information about the market at www.ChilliwackFarmersMarket.com. Vendors can also find an application form and rates for booths.

“We are looking forward to the return of many vendors, and, of course, we are always looking to add new ones,” added Dalman. “We are having a vendors meeting on May 22.”

Anyone interested in attending or hearing more about the market is welcome to e-mail Dalman at info@ChilliwackFarmersMarket.com. ◗ The market is open Saturdays starting June 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The location is Fairfield Island, at Minter Country Garden Store’s front parking lot, 10015 Young Rd.

Mathletes compete at UFV “It was a really good learning experience,” added his classmate Candice Van Den Dorpal. “The hardest part was having to write out descriptions of how you discovered your answers.”

They and their Chilliwack middle classmates, including Logan Phillips, Rachel Leonard, and Angela Lee, have career aspirations that range from fighter pilot to physician, engineer, and fashion designer, and they know that math plays a role in all those disciplines.

Teachers Leanne Bartel and Karin Loots of Highroad Academy were bringing a team for the first time.

“Ours is a small school, so it’s neat for our students to get out and see that there are other math lovers in the world,” said Bartel. “It sounds like the contest was tough, but it was doable and they were quite keen.”

igh school math whizzes from Chilliwack and Abbotsford put their brains to the test at a UFV contest recently.

The students proudly embraced the term “mathlete” and welcomed the chance to compete against other equation aficionados and word problem pros.

The University of the Fraser Valley hosted 123 students from Grades 7 through 12 at its 13th annual math contest at the Chilliwack campus.

Ask any of the various groups hanging around campus how the contest questions were, and you’ll hear variations on “tough,” “really hard,” and “difficult.”

But that doesn’t mean they aren’t glad they came.

“It was a real challenge, and it made me think,” commented Joel Goshulak of Chilliwack middle.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James (Jim) Merle Ballam on Monday May 10, 2010 with his family by his side. Jim was an adored husband, loving father, grand father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. Jim was born in Chilliwack on February 12, 1939 and passed away on May 10, 2010 at the age of 71 years. Jim was predeceased by his parents Harry (Casey) Ballam and Louise May Ballam and his sister Marie Lee. Jim is survived by his loving wife Gloria of 51 years and two sons, James & Colette, Mark & Lisa, three grandchildren, Ryan, Nicole and Brandon (Nikki) his brother Mike (Agnes) Ballam, sisters Joan (Erv) Frank and Hazel (Joe) Beaulieu, sister-in-law Carol & Carl Hawryluk, brother in law Ron & Alice Weymouth and numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nieces and Nephews.

The family would like to thank all of Dads family and friends for their support through his journey, also a special thank-you to the staff and volunteers at Cascade Hospice for the wonderful care and friendship.

Jim was born and raised in Chilliwack BC, he grew up on a farm on Chilliwack Central Road. He met Gloria when he was 17 years old, the love of his life and they were married shortly after. They raised two boys together and enjoyed their “hockey days” meeting lots of people that would become life long friends. Jim loved the game of hockey and he loved to watch his boys play hockey, he went to practically every game they had, he was their biggest fan. Then as time went on he would go to his grandsons’ hockey games and cheer them on. Jim enjoyed hunting birds in his early days and he absolutely loved fishing and camping. Many trips to Loon Lake over the years with family, his brothers and sisters and his Mom and Dad. Jim worked in the furniture industry first with Sears and Peacocks Furniture and then later he started his own furniture business where he worked for many years.

But his true love was cars......he always loved his cars. It was a great pass time for Jim, he would tinker with them evenings and weekends and you could see that he loved it. His face would light up just talking about them. He took great pride in his home, he always made it look tip top and he always made you feel welcome in his home, he was a great host. Jim was great friends with his brothersin-law Carl, Ron, Joe and Erv who all had lots of fun together (the stories they could tell) as young men growing up and raising their families, going camping and fishing.

Jim always gave of himself to his family.

Jim was a member of the Vintage Car Club and the British Car Club where he met a lot of friends and which he enjoyed immensely.

Jim was a wonderful man who will be sadly and greatly missed by all who knew him but most of all by his family.

We loved you and respected you and we are left behind with broken hearts, we love you Dad. A Funeral Memorial will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home on May 18th, 2010 at 2:00 pm. A tea to follow at Henderson’s Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers donations to Cascade Hospice Society c/o Henderson’s Funeral Home.
