Job cuts expected to save city $1.2 million ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford council has announced the elimination of 10 job positions in a reorganization at city hall expected to save taxpayers more than $1.2 million a year. The cuts include nine management positions and one union position, according

to Abbotsford city manager George Murray. The restructuring is part and parcel of a drive to meet the city’s new goal of posting a zero tax increase in 2014, said Murray. Five positions each in the city’s engineering and parks, recreation and culture departments have been eliminated, either through attrition or layoffs, said Murray.

Former director of water and solid waste, Tracy Kyle, who left the city for a more senior position with the City of Kamloops last year, will not be replaced, he said. Additionally, four engineers in the water and sewer section have been laid off due to a drop in the number of capital projects being undertaken by the city. In the PRC department,

Heidi Enns, former director of recreation services, is being promoted to PRC general manager and her former position will be closed, said Murray. Former facilities and maintenance manager James Arden will also be promoted – to the vacant position of parks manager – and his former position will not be filled. The three other employees

in the department are being laid off, said Murray. The city manager confirmed that Jay Teichroeb, general manager of economic development and planning and Pat Soanes, general manager of finance and corporate services are no longer with the city. Their departures were not because their jobs were cut, said Murray, adding he could

not speak to why they had left nor if they’d be receiving severance packages, due to privacy issues. The economic development and planning department will now become two separate units, and the city will advertise for a new GM of planning and development and a director of economic development.

og lover, world traveler and former golfer, Pat Wiley of Abbotsford, marked a milestone when she celebrated her 100th birthday at Maplewood House on

June 25. Surrounded by family, friends, guests and a dog troupe, Pat was all smiles as the guest of honour Tuesday, as staff presented her with a giant birthday cake. Born in Australia, Pat made the trek to Canada after her

husband Ken passed in 1977, immediately settling in Abbotsford to be near her two children, Warren and Kerry. “She loved playing golf and was disappointed she had to give it up when she was 92,” said Kerry.

“Most of the time it was lack of playing companions.” She could never understand why her friends did not want to play if it looked like rain. See BIRTHDAY, Page A6

wo men received commendations from the Abbotsford Police Board for fighting off two pit bulls running wild that mauled an 80year-old man and another woman in March. Byron Wiebe and Adam Pampalon were recognized by Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman on Tuesday for their quick response, courage and willingness to place themselves at risk. The two men were each driving along Lilac Crescent on March 15 around 12:30 p.m. when the attacks took place. Pampalon sighted the two dogs in the middle of the road before seeing them run at an elderly man from behind and bite his leg. Grabbing a golf club, Pampalon charged at the dogs, scaring them away, back to their residence. Wiebe was also in the area when he heard screams and saw the dogs attacking a 53year-old woman. The pit bulls were savaging the victim, who had been

“Thank you for thinking of someone other than yourself. A lot of people would have just driven by.” – Mayor Bruce Banman

pushed to the ground by the animals. Wiebe leapt from his vehicle and raced to the scene, kicking the dogs until they released the woman. The woman’s injuries were very serious and involved large gashes to her arm that required immediate surgery and puncture wounds to her face and legs that needed stitches, according to police. The board noted thatWiebe prevented further injuries to the woman, who experienced a great deal of pain and anxiety in the violent attack. Wiebe, who did attend, said he simply responded to a necessary situation. “It’s just one of those things. You don’t ever know what you are going to do in any situation,” he said. See HEROES, page A9

Laughie Bell, Dr. Elizabeth Watt and Dennis Hill were awarded the Order of Abbotsford for their contributions to the community on Monday evening.

2013 Order of Abbotsford

hree outstanding citizens were awarded the 2013 Order of Abbotsford at city hall on Monday night, for the contributions they’ve made to the community. Mayor Bruce Banman recognized residents Laughie Bell, Dennis Hill and Dr. Elizabeth June Watt for their community service and commitment to Abbotsford. Bell was honoured for 30 years of volunteer work with the minor hockey community and was described as the consummate ambassador to youth hockey. Bell coached for four years upon his arrival in Abbotsford in the early 80s, before moving onto the Abbotsford Minor Hockey Association’s executive where he played countless roles, including that of vice president and president. In 2008, Bell became a district director with the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association and continues as an officer at large for the group. In addition to the contributions Bell has made to minor hockey, he is a dedicated volunteer with Scouts Canada, taking on various roles over the past 25 years.

Hill was recognized for 18 years of service and leadership with Abbotsford Citizens’ Patrol. He was appointed chair of the patrol’s executive committee in 1997 and continues to serve in this role on behalf of the Abbotsford Police Department. During the nearly two decades of commitment to the patrol, Hill enhanced its profile, community interaction, responsibilities and links to the APD. He secured decommissioned APD police vehicles to expand the patrol’s duties, which include regular patrols, checking and recovering stolen vehicles and attending special events such as Canada Day, the Abbotsford Air Show, and the ADBA Christmas tree lighting. Hill can be found five to six days a week working at his desk in the community policing office. Some of his duties include setting up bait cars at the crack of dawn, documenting statistics for each program and members’ participation and attending meetings with the APD or with ICBC. Dr. Watt was awarded the Order of Abbotsford for her contributions to the health

of the community. Watt – physician at Peardonville House Treatment Centre, medical director of the Women’s Health Centre and lead physician at the Abbotsford Youth Health Centre – has volunteered to train other doctors in dealing with the health issues of the city’s most vulnerable citizens. She’s also spent countless hours at Abbotsford Community Services, ensuring the areas of community well-being and social justice are a central focus. Watt volunteers annually at Abbotsford Connect, dispensing professional advice and medicine to Abbotsford’s homeless and near homeless population. Watt also played a pivotal role in establishing Abbotsford’s first and only Youth Health Centre, volunteering her time to attend to the health and mental health issues of our youth. Recipients of the Order of Abbotsford have their names entered in the city’s Merit Book. Additionally, council will select one of the individuals to be granted the award as Citizen of the Year, which is announced on Canada Day. – STAFF REPORTER

Don’t be a bozo: Bears sould never be approached, like these tourists are seen doing near Mount Robson Provincial Park.

Do not approach cute bear cubs ROCHELLE BAKER RBaker@abbotsfordtimes.com

bbotsford Police are warning residents to be bear aware and not to approach the animals after a mother and cub were sighted near an elementary school on Tuesday. A resident walking her child home from Dr. Thomas A. Swift Elementary School sighted the bruins in Palfy Park in the 34900 block of Laburnum Avenue, said Const. Ian MacDonald. “The bears weren’t threatening in any way,” said MacDonald, adding the alert was simply to raise awareness. “It took place in a park close to an elementary school and we don’t want kids going towards the cub thinking it’s cute when the mother is going to be close by.” The conservation office has been notified and the situation will be monitored, said MacDonald. If it becomes necessary, conservation officers will look at relocating the mother and cub.

Majority of recreational users treat Mission forest with respect, says firearms enthusiast Mission’s proposed firearms discharge bylaw could vastly change lawful use of firearms for both recreational shooters and hunters alike. Times reporter Christina Toth is covering the contentious issue from all sides, in a series of articles. Part 2 provides readers with a look at the good and bad side of how recreational firearms users treat the area.

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

very couple of weeks, Mission’s forest manager Bob O’Neal and a provincial corrections crew drive up the Florence Lake service road (or Burma Road) in the remote northwest quadrant of the district. The clean-up crews never come back empty-handed. The region is popular with gun enthusiasts, as a current district bylaw allows the discharge of rifles and shotguns in selected areas several kilometres north of the Lougheed Highway, as long as shooters are at least 150 metres away from the roads. But according to O’Neal, it seems that few people know about or comply with the bylaw. “No one does that. People just go to the edge of the road and start shooting,” he said. “They’re making a real mess up there. [The clean-up crews] collect 12 to 15 garbage bags of gun shells every two weeks.” The marksmen target signs, gates, equipment, trees. “I’ve seen cedar trees two to three feet in diameter completely shot through. They would have to expend round after round after round till the tree falls over,” O’Neal said. Sometimes the shooters bring their own targets. “They set out appliances – fridges, stoves, TVs, microwaves, computers – and blow the crap out of them.” Then there is the public safety aspect. Recreational visitors, forestry staff and

“Everyone who passes my class gets a spiel on how to clean up – if you leave garbage behind, you’re a disgrace to society.” – Dave Kuntsler

others working in the area get nervous when they hear gun shots whiz by, and try to make themselves as visible as possible. The most recent complaints came from a family boating on Sayres Lake who heard gunshots overhead. “Those [shots] would have come from the logging road, and that’s quite a distance away,” said O’Neal. With more people wanting to access the back woods, Mission is embarking on a recreational and tourism plan to make the area more accessible to hiking, mountain biking, ATVs, camping and more, and the district is proposing a ban on open shooting. But recreational “plinkers” can live in peaceful co-existence with other people who want to enjoy Mission’s great outdoors, said firearms enthusiast Dave Kunstler. It’s a matter of teaching people to responsibly handle their firearms and to keep an eye for troublemakers, he said. The owner of High Calibre Services Corp., a gun accessory store in downtown Mission, said education and enforcement with a hot line to report people who vandalize or leave garbage behind would help. He agrees there are “troublemakers” who vandalize and leave their trash behind, but said “it’s not fair to punish the majority for the two per cent who cause the trouble.” Kunstler explicitly condemns that behaviour in his weekend firearms classes, or when he goes out shooting. “We’ll go out to an open area and shoot at crackers or fruits or vegetables. All the shells go on a tarp and we take

the mess away,” he said. “Everyone who passes my class gets a spiel on how to clean up – if you leave garbage behind, you’re a disgrace to society.” Kunstler said interest in recreational shooting is on the rise, and it would be a mistake for Mission to ban firearms use, as shooters bring tourist dollars to the community. He adds that a complete ban, like other prohibitions, won’t work and believes it would be “more difficult and more dangerous to enforce.” As for joining Mission and District Rod and Gun Club, he said the shooting range was crowded, and “it’s not for everyone.” He’d like to see the district leave some wilderness zones open to target shooters, and has a couple of spots in mind. The firearms expert said that, like many others, he moved to Mission to enjoy its lifestyle and proximity to wilderness areas. “I absolutely love Mission. This is paradise for me, the people, the environment, and I am willing to do anything to keep it that way,” he said. Kunstler said he’ll be selling tarps for collecting shells at his store, and will make his dumpster available for those who bring back their shooting waste. In the past three weeks, Kunstler has collected more than 800 signatures on a petition opposing the ban. Meanwhile, by mid-July Mission will have people at a Burma Road gate to record who goes into the forestry area and to hand out information on shooting regulations and how to report infractions, said O’Neal. Mission RCMP is also stepping up patrols in the area. Residents have until June 28 to submit comments on the issue to the Mission district. A staff report reflecting those comments will be brought to the council at its July 2 meeting. PART 3: Next Thursday, Toth will look at the implications the proposed bylaw will have on hunters

‘Super G’ the life of the party at grandson’s wedding BIRTHDAY, from A3 “The thought of rain meant nothing to mum. She watched every tournament she could on TV and was well aware of the better players. “Tiger was not one of her favourites,” added Kerry. At the age of 64 and living in Canada, Pat caught the traveling bug, and visited many parts of the world with friends or family. She took trips to Europe including

Mediterranean cruises, Alaska and Asia, where locals in Bangkok and Singapore were amazed at her age and agility. She was 89 at the time. Her last trip was to Poland, where she visited sites from the World Wars, then ended in Warsaw to see her second youngest grandson get married in 2005. “She was the life of the party at 92 and earned the name ‘Super G’ – dancing up a storm and enjoying a few shots of their famous vodka,” said Kerry.

Pat was 65 when she got her Canadian driver’s licence and was driving until the age of 96, even buying a new car when she was 92. She also loved dogs, and for her birthday celebration, the Canine Vaudeville Show from Dumbbell Obedience Club in Langley entertained the crowded main hall at Maplewood with their obedience and tricks. At the end of the show, each dog came up to greet Pat, and received a gentle pat and a big smile in return.

MCC packs work and celebration into weekend ANGELIKA DAWSON Special to the Times

t was a busy weekend for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) BC as the organization celebrated 40 years of MCC thrift shops, along with its annual gathering, a celebration barbecue and groundbreaking event at the site of the new MCC Centre in downtown Abbotsford. More than 1,000 people attended the Brian Doerksen/ Ambassadors concert on Friday night at Central Heights MB Church in Abbotsford, which also featured a series of video vignettes from each of MCC BC’s 10 thrift shops. Doerksen performed with his band and led the audience in worship, as did the Ambassadors, who sang gospel favourites in wonderful four-part harmony. For Doerksen, the evening was special for very personal reasons. “I’m happy to be celebrating this event with you and what makes this evening truly special for me is the opportunity to sing with my dad,” he said, inviting his father Henry Doerksen to the stage. Prov i n c i a l t h r i f t s h o p co-ordinator Doug Willms reminded the audience that the thrift network exists because of volunteers. There are 999 volunteers who serve in MCC’s 10 shops, which last year raised $1.5 million for the relief, development and peace work of MCC worldwide. Willms acknowledged the more than 100 volunteers who have served in the BC thrift network for 20 years or longer, with many having served 35 years or more. “It is so remarkable that we have such a faithful, dedi-

On Saturday morning, delegates returned to Central Heights for the annual gathering, which included moving stories from MCC’s work in western Africa, Colombia and at home in B.C. The day culminated with a barbecue and ground breaking ceremony at Gladys and Cyril streets, the site of the new MCC Centre. More than 400 people enjoyed the sunshine and learned more about the new building that will house an MCC Thrift Shop, the MCC Material Resource Centre,

program and administrative offices, Ten Thousand Villages, a quilting centre, a café and the Mennonite foundation office as well. Special guests included Mayor Bruce Banman and several city councillors, Salvation Army Council Chairman Bob Singleton and other directors, Ward Draper of 5&2 Ministries, Tina Stewart with the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association and representatives from the Aldergrove Credit Union. MCC Canada Executive Director Don Peters and representatives from both the Mennonite Brethren and

Mennonite Church conferences also attended as well as several of MCC BC’s former executive directors and board chairs. Kathleen Toews, whose family donated the land on which the current MCC BC office and warehouse sit, also attended. Ninety-seven year old Siegfried Bartel, who served as MCC BC board chair for the better part of the 1970s and ’80s and who oversaw two past MCC building projects, offered a prayer of blessing on the ground, praying for safety for all who would build and those who would serve

Since MCC is an organization that is sustained by volunteers and donors, everyone in attendance was invited to participate in the groundbreaking.

The GM of finance position won’t be filled. However, a new deputy city manager position will be created. The candidate in that position will assume some finance responsibilities, as well as share duties with and report to Murray. The employees affected by the job cuts won’t get severance, as they will be given sufficient notice under the Employment Standards Act to absolve the city from having to pay compensation. The city isn’t looking at more job cuts but will continue to search for cost savings, said Murray. “We’ll continue to look for efficiencies over time, as it’s a journey not a destination,” he said. Mayor Bruce Banman said Tuesday after-

noon that the restructuring is one result of a core review of city services being done by Murray. The city saved $250,000 by not having to outsource the core review, as Murray was qualified to undertake the process, said Banman. “Part of the core review was to look for efficiencies and redundancy so that city hall could run leaner and meaner,” he said. “This [restructuring] would be part of that.” The mayor said the job cuts weren’t expected to affect the ability of the city to perform its daily business. “The private sector has learned to do more with less, and the public also expects the city to do more with less,” he said. “Mr. Murray and council had to make some tough choices and sometimes that involves people.”

IQ for students and older folks

! Imagine how frustrating it is for someone with a Ph.D. who has difficulties to concentrate and remembering something that happened yesterday.

Student was surprised with final exams results of 95%! I started taking Bell IQ Function #36 half a year ago when I had trouble remembering things in a course.

Wendy Simpson, 52, Calgary, AB

APNEA? SNORING? SLEEP

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

Loose muscles

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel #23 rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Bell uses the power of nature to help put life back into your lifestyle

“But when you see somebody that needs help – you do it.” Asked if he had anything else he wanted to say, Wiebe simply thanked his wife and children, who were in the room. He particularly thanked his 10-year-old daughter, who had been proudly telling everyone the last couple of days that her dad was, “going to get a constipation from the police.” The mayor expressed gratitude to the father and husband for risking his safety. “Thank you for thinking of someone other than yourself,” said Banman. “A lot of people would have just driven by.”

CHRISTINA TOTH CToth@abbotsfordtimes.com

he city’s vibrant music and arts scene will be showcased in the summertime Jam in Jubilee concerts, which start next month and runs Thursday nights until the end of August. Jam in Jubilee is a joyous free three-hour event in the heart of the old city that’s billed by its organizers as Abbotsford’s “premier arts and musical festival.” The talent-packed outdoor concerts feature three bands a night, a few of which include Chilliwack’s Canadiana roots band The Tractorgrease Folk, Vancouver’s beach rockers Satori Tide backed by local favourites Harma White, and the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra led by Calvin Dyck. There’s also Joe Willoughby, Random Dander, jazzy Courteney Rodda & the Other Guys, and Oh No, Yoko! Even Abbotsford’s Mayor Bruce Banman is getting in the act this year, “crooning” a few numbers to pay tribute to Sinatra on opening night of the concert series, which is July 11. And if three bands a night weren’t enough, the evenings include a side stage with other performance amusements on between musical sets, art shows, an artisan market, food vendors, a beer garden, plus a short film contest and festival in August. All this ambitious organizing is done by the youthful inhabitants of the Atangard Community Project, a low-cost housing co-operative that occupies the second floor of the Fraser Valley Inn in the historic downtown. A committee of about a dozen volunteers have run the JNJ events for the past four years, a role they took over from the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, which ran the summer concerts for five years before that. “People do it because they really care about their community,” said Sophia Suderman, an organizers and Atangard resident. While the musical acts definitely draw the young adult crowd, the diverse activities and displays make the Jam in Jubilee evenings friendly for all ages, Suderman said. In previous years visitors have enjoyed playing with giant checkers and Scrabble, or watching artists at work. It’s a fun way for local residents to rediscover the historic little park, and you never know what treasure you might find as the summer goes on.

July 1 celebrations

– CHRISTINA TOTH/TIMES

Sophia Suderman and Stephen O’Shea are two of the organizers of Jam in Jubilee, a free outdoor concert series in downtown Abbotsford. It runs Thursday nights starting July 11 and features local musicians. Organizers’ efforts have paid off as average crowds in recent years have grown to around 700 people a night, with some evenings drawing as many as 1,000 to Jubilee Park, said Suderman. During last year’s film festival night, she said 600 people stayed to watch the locally produced short movies. The venue also gives local bands valuable exposure and allows local audiences to discover some of the many talented groups based in Abbotsford. The organizers also make and effort to present different genres of music to the concert goers, said the team’s artistic director Stephen O’Shea, who also a member of the band You Say Party. “This is the event we can do when summer is nice for people who love and appreciate live music. It’s the largest public display of the local music scene. It’s really worth the effort,” he said. Despite the work involved to make it happen, “we’re always looking for ways to make it bigger and better,” such as developing an after dark indoor concert series for next year to give local

musicians even more face to face time with audiences, said Suderman. The concerts are definitely a labour of love, with support from Abbotsford parks and recreation, and lots of in-kind help and donations from sponsors, said O’Shea. Volunteers are great, too – you’re welcome to come volunteer with the events, he said. Organizers are still accepting vendors, artists for the art market. Film submissions are also being accepted, for the grand finale festival on Aug. 8. Jam in Jubilee begins July 11 and runs every Thursday night until Aug. 15 in Jubilee Park, at McCallum and South Fraser Way in historic downtown Abbotsford, next to the lawn bowling club and the Park Hotel. The market opens at 6 p.m., and the music is on from 7 – 10 p.m. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket, and a sweater or jacket for cool nights. ■ For more, find Jam in Jubilee on Facebook and see the website at jaminjubilee.com

CORRECTION NOTICE

Children often the forgotten concern

s it not curious that amidst the abundance of rhetoric about marriage these days, children, the normally expected outcomes of marriage, are so rarely mentioned? Curious, did I say? No, it is tragic – no, more than tragic – it is disastrous. The total concern nowadays on both sides of the marriage question is about the rightness or wrongness of consenting adults’ living arrangements, desires, welfare and enjoyment. “Children?” I hear you ask, “Ha-ha, yes of course, children. What about them?” Well for a starter, if our parents had not had children you and I wouldn’t even exist. Right? Let’s get real. Having children is important. The original and fundamental reason for marriage was and is the survival of the human race. If the human race is to survive and since all of us will eventually die, we must replace ourselves – no, even more than replace ourselves. The first commandment in the Bible is found in Gen. 1:28 where God says to Adam and Eve, “Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.” Children are our most precious assets. Having them, protecting,

BERT WARDEN

Faith that matters nourishing and training them in a loving environment is the most important task we will ever have and is what marriage and “family” is really all about. Don’t get me wrong. Marriage is not only about raising children. It is also about the growing, intimate, happy, satisfying, loving relationship of a husband and wife that is meant to last a lifetime. But it’s about our children too. In contrast to the offspring of every other living creature, the human baby is much more helpless and dependent and for a longer period of time. Incidentally, it has been well documented that for balanced nurture and training they also need the influence of both a mother and father. Hence, in the very nature of things, it is to society’s advantage to do everything possible to aid and assist marriage and keep families intact. In contemporary society, divorce is the great destroyer of children and young

people. Children need to feel secure in their family life in order to mature and become positive and productive members of the community. It is sad to say, but nofault divorce is the order of the day and has become the easy out for self-centred adults who have fooled themselves that “the kids will survive OK.” Some do. Most carry the scars for life. I wish I could say that in the community of faith children fare better. They don’t. To our shame, the divorce rate in our churches is only marginally less than in society at large – so much for being “the light of the world” and “the salt of the earth.” Forgive us children, forgive us. And forgive us Lord. Hear Jesus’ words: “. . . whoever causes one of these little ones (children) who believe in me, to stumble, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck and that he be drowned in the depths of the sea” (Matthew 18:6). If these words do not jolt us awake, they should. ■ Bert Warden is an erstwhile

A new anthology written by Abbotsford pastors and local academics looks at the role faith has in defining the ‘Bible belt’ of B.C.

hat does the faith community actually do for Abbotsford? The city is well known for its abundance of churches – there are more than 108 at last count – and it has a reputation as a socially conservative ‘Bible belt.’ Now a book explores the relationship of the faithful with the community in general, and how Christian institutions have shaped its character. Being the Church in Abbotsford (Mill Lake Books/ Judson Lake House Publishers) is a 128-page compilation of essays by a group of local academics and church leaders, some who have written opinion pieces for the Abbotsford Mission Times. Topics in the 12 chapters cover: Inter-Church Cooperation by Hans Kouwenberg; Spiritual Care in the Hospitals by Hans Kouwenberg; How the Churches Show Love to the City by Jim Burkinshaw; Two Solitudes: Public and Private Education by John Sutherland. They also include Christians in a World of Many Faiths by Chr istopher Reiner; Faith and Education and Faith and Politics

Kraakman tops Ledgeview ladies

Deroche cousins place first & third in 36th annual tourney JEAN KONDA-WITTE JKonda-Witte@abbotsfordtimes.com

he darling of Deroche, Brooklyn Kraakman, who just wrapped up her first year in the women’s golf program at Alabama State University, took first place at the 36th annual Ledgeview Ladies Amateur Sunday with a two-day total 146. She shot a five-over 76 on Saturday, but came back for a one-under par 70 on the second day for the win. At 19, she is now old enough to play in the Ledgeview ladies tourney. “I was excited to finally play in it,” she said of the course where she won the club championship two years ago as a junior. “The course was in good shape, it was a really good event to be in. It was fun,” she said. “Me and Karen [Pultz] were tied coming to the 17th hole on the second day. It was competitive.” But all that changed on the 17th where

A27

Kraakman birdied and Pultz shot two over. “I sealed [the win] with a birdie on the last hole,” she said. Cousin Janelle Kraakman, 19, also of Deroche captured third place with a 150, just one behind Pultz of Surrey who came in at 149. Both Kraakman cousins just finished their first year at Alabama State in Montgomery. “School was good, but I strugged with golf a bit,” admitted Brooklyn. “Mentally it was hard; I didn’t play that well.” She said she can’t wait to go back in the fall and redeem her golf games. There will be a lot of competitions for the cousins with six tournaments in first semester and seven slated for 2014. She’s happy with the team and her coaches, and she loves the Alabama courses. But she’s glad to be back in Deroche for the summer, working at Cedar Ridge Golf Course in Mission and competing in local tournaments. “It’s nice to be home and have my dad [Walter] help me too. He knows me inside and out. He knows what I’m thinking,” she said. Brooklyn is currently playing in the fourday BC Women’s Amateur Championship in Pitt Meadows, where she’s tied for 29th after two days of competition. She shot 79 (+6) and 80 (+11) for a 159, 16 strokes behind leader Soo-Bin Kim of Port Coquitlam.

Brooklyn Kraakman holds the Ledgeview trophy where she won the 36th annual Ladies Amateur on Sunday by three strokes. Cousin Janelle Kraakman finished third.
