Rash of robberies

Cell phones, cash and jewelry targets in 18 street incidents Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is warning the public about a rash of street robberies that have taken place this year. A total of 18 robberies occurred from Jan. 1 to May 18 in various locations throughout the city and involved the victims being confronted in public places. Items such as cellphones,

cash and jewelry were taken. Const. Ian MacDonald said although the total is not “extraordinary” compared to the typical numbers of such incidents, police are concerned about the violence that has accompanied some of them. He said in one case about a week ago at a park off High Drive, two men had gone out for an early-morning smoke when they were

swarmed and beaten by up to eight men. One of the victims lost consciousness, and both were taken to hospital by ambulance. MacDonald said suspect descriptions in the 18 robberies have varied, but all are described as young men. The culprits have produced weapons that include knives and cutting shears, and the Continued on A7

Province employs fewer child mental health psychologists than seven years ago

n 2008, the province was told it had “miles to go” to address mental health issues in children. Seven years later, 69 per cent of children with mental disorders – more than 50,000 kids – still do not receive specialized services. The government says progress is being made, with 5,000 more children getting help. But while that number has increased, The News has found that the agency tasked with treating such kids employs fewer nurses and psychologists than it did in 2008. Similarly, over the last seven years, provincial spending on Children and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) services has failed to keep up with inflation, much less the number of clients. This comes despite repeated pleas – from parents, from the province’s Representative for

Children and Youth, and last November from the BC Liberal-chaired Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth – for the government to make youth mental health a priority. That has left service providers doing their best to treat a growing clientele with funding that hasn’t seen a substantial boost in years. As the executive director of the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre (FVCDC), Karen McLean oversees a team that provides support to children with developmental and behavioural disorders – including ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) and Anxiety Disorder. McLean said her organization has been receiving more referrals in recent years – often from schools. McLean says the CYMH front-line staff do great work in assisting families, but there have been no appreciable hikes in funding for FVCDC programs for some time. Asked when funding last increased, a long pause follows. “It’s been probably seven or eight years.” TTT

In 2003, the province created a special plan it labelled as a landmark in efforts to address mental health concerns in children. Five years later, a follow-up report was issued called “Promises kept, Miles to Go.” That title summed up the report’s diverse conclusions. That 2008 report found that while advances had been made, “the overall child and youth mental health service system is clearly inadequate in many respects.” Since then, British Columbia’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, has repeatedly told the government that the mental health system for children is failing and requires significant improvement. And last year, a team headed by SFU professor Charlotte Waddell delivered a strong call to action in a report prepared for the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD). Families face “stark service shortfalls,” and only one-third of children who need help get it, Waddell and her team wrote. “Mental disorders are arguably the leading health problems that Canadian children and youth face from infancy onwards,” the report concluded. “These shortfalls would not be tolerated for physical health problems in young people, such as cancer or diabetes, and should no longer be tolerated for mental health problems.” That report recommended tripling investments in evidence-based treatment systems and prevention programs to both treat mental disorders and reduce their prevalence in the province. That sounds expensive, but the B.C. government’s current spending on CYMH is just 0.2 per cent of provincial spending. In 2008/9 the CYMH budget doubled to $89 million. Since then, as the total provincial government budget has grown by 21 per cent to $45 billion – more than half of which goes to health care – spending on child and youth mental health has risen by just $4 million, or 4.4 per cent over six years, a figure less than the inflation rate. The increase in the number of children and youth receiving services means there has been a decrease in per-child funding. The $93 million allocated to CYMH services last year was less than half of what the government spent on Community, Sport and Cultural Development. It’s also less than seven per cent

‘Alarming’ prevalence of child mental health issues From A4

of the province’s total spending on mental health and substance use services. The 2015/16 budget saw total government spending rise by $500 million. Of that, $1.3 million went into CYMH services. The lack of spending growth can be seen in staffing levels, with the number of psychiatrists and nurse clinicians employed by CYMH declining over the last seven years. In 2008, the province employed 59 frontline nurses and seven supervising nurses, according to numbers provided by the MCFD. By 2015, the number of front-line nurses had dropped to 42, although the number of supervisors had risen to 10. The number of frontline psychologists declined from 37 to 33 over the same seven years, while the number of supervising psychologists rose from six to eight. In response to a series of questions about

changing staffing levels, a government spokesperson said the number of front-line staff employed by CYMH has increased by two per cent, from 442 to 453. Most of those are social program officers who provide services such as intake, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and crisis intervention for children. Such officers make considerably less money than psychologists. After repeated requests for an interview with MCFD minister Stephanie Cadieux over the course of several weeks, The News was informed the minister was unavailable. MCFD communication staff did provide written statements to a series of questions regarding child and youth mental health. The statements, attributed to the minister, acknowledge that more B.C. children are facing mental health challenges. Asked if child and youth mental health is a priority, the statements point

to the $1.3-million rise in CYMH funding as evidence that the government is “committed to serving and supporting children and youth with mental health and/or substance use challenges and their families.” They also pointed out that ministry of health

Current service levels and delivery models are not meeting growing demands for services Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth interim report spending on mental health and substance issues has increased by 63 per cent since 2000, although the majority of those services are targeted at adults. The ministry added: “Is there more to do? Yes, there is always more we’d like to do. And when budget allows, we will continue to look at areas where an increased investment will make the most impact.” The ministry also cited several improve-

Meanwhile, the province’s Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth – which exists to receive reports from TurpelLafond – launched a “special project examining youth mental health” in the province. The project is now in its second phase, and is holding public meetings with service providers and stakeholders. In November, the

committee, which is chaired by BC Liberal MLA Jane Thornthwaite, and includes MLAs from both parties, including Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas, delivered an interim report to the legislature that declared “the prevalence of mental health issues among youth is alarming,” and that “current service levels and delivery models are not meeting growing demands for services.” The report continued: “The committee believes that youth mental health needs to be treated as a high priority by government, and that a concerted effort is required to develop a cohesive and effective mental health system that provides timely, responsive, and seamless services to youth and families. This will require additional resources, enhancements to existing services, and the identification of service delivery models tailored to meet the specific needs of communities across the province.” Three months later, that interim report was on the minds of staff at the B.C. division of the (CMHA) when they evaluated the provincial government’s 2015/16 budget. With the budget for CYMH services slated to increase by just $2.8 million over the next three years, Jonathan Morris, public policy director for CMHA BC, called the budget a “missed opportunity.” In an interview, Thornthwaite, who is also the parliamentary secretary for child mental health, wouldn’t comment on budgeting for CYMH programs, saying that is not her role. The standing committee will eventually deliver recommendations on how to improve the child mental health system. But asked whether parents should expect improvements and action to result from those recommendations, Thornthwaite avoided making any promises. “I can’t speak on behalf of government; what direction they’re going to go,” she said.

But she did point to the creation of an integrated model of service delivery in the interior of the province. “There’s a lot of movement going ahead right now.” Asked if government would commit to implementing any

MCLEAN recommendations from Thornthwaite’s committee, a MCFD statement attributed to Cadieux said government would “consider” them. Earlier this month, the standing committee was briefed on the New Brunswick delivery system. Thornthwaite said she was intrigued to hear that province had improved services by fostering more cooperation between providers – and that it didn’t require more funding. TTTT Meanwhile, back at the FVCDC, McLean said staff are doing their best with the available resources. “There are kids who are waiting for services,” she said. She is optimistic that some of the structural changes being made will help make the system more efficient and easier to navigate. McLean believes uncertain economic times have limited government spending, but she warns that underfunding the system isn’t necessarily economically prudent in the long run, citing societal costs that come with dealing with adults with addictions, mental illnesses and learning disabilities. “The importance of our investment in young children, in their positive growth and development and early intervention when they have struggles, will pay for itself down the road,” she said. “Hopefully, the economy improves.”

majority of crimes have involved at least two suspects. On five occasions, the thieves wore masks or balaclavas to cover their faces. All but two of the victims have been male, and 15 of them were under the age of 30. MacDonald said the victims have suffered a range of injuries that have been minor or required hospitalization. He said more than one-third of these incidents took place on Saturdays and almost all occurred after 4 p.m. The robberies have occurred with both the suspects and victims arriving in the same area on foot, and they tend to take place in less-populated and less well-lit areas, including Mill Lake Park and the Bourquin bus loop. “Although APD investigators feel that some of these incidents are not random, we still want citizens to be aware and to elevate their personal safety practices,” he said. MacDonald recommended that people walk in pairs or groups and stay near busier locations with good lighting.

Holota

On Point Five-year-old Adam pushed his way into a lineup of kids. Rebuked by a nearby mother for his intrusion, he stuck out his tongue and ran off. The irked woman spat a remark at Adam’s mom, Amanda. “Your son is a monster.” Just another painful moment in a lifetime of struggle for a parent of a young child with a mental disorder. One more sharp reminder for Amanda that the monster is not her son; it is the depth of mental health issues among B.C.’s children and youth, and the lack of help. Adam is among an estimated 80,000 kids in this province who experience some sort of mental disorder. Of those, more than 50,000 do not get specialized assistance. Many don’t even get a diagnosis.

If those statistics seem staggering, so is the government response to the issue. In the past seven years, Children and Youth Mental Health spending rose by a paltry $4 million. Of the total provincial budget, CYMH comprises 0.2 per cent. In that period, the number of front-line CYMH psychologists dropped from 37 to 33. Front-line nurses went from 59 to 42, although the number of supervising nurses crept from seven to 10. What has ballooned in the past seven years, though, is the legion of children needing specialized diagnosis and treatment. Perhaps it’s a greater awareness on the part of parents that some child behaviours are indicators something is seriously amiss. Likely, it’s also identification by teachers better equipped to recognize mental disorders, and who make referrals or requests for special needs assistance in the classroom. Whatever the factors, there can be no doubt that government services fall appallingly short of dealing with children’s mental

health issues. There’s no shortage of professional reports and expert voices that support that statement – among them B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, who has repeatedly identified the CYMH system as failing. For much of society, it all falls into the category of too bad, but it’s “their problem.” Yet, like so many of social ills, it is really everyone’s problem. Why? Children with mental disorders who go undiagnosed and untreated don’t get better on their own. Mental health issues rarely go away with age. In fact, they usually worsen. And that makes government inaction and anemic funding response a financial fallacy and a social crime. Providing specialized services to mentally ill children is expensive, yes. The cost of failing to treat is far greater. In classrooms, special needs kids divert teachers’ time and attention from other stu-

dents. That can affect the quality of education for the entire class. Intervention and treatment for any human ailment is virtually always easier and less expensive earlier rather than later. Certainly that must be so for mental health. As the teen years progress, so does the potential for mental disorders to become exacerbated by peer pressures, exposure to drugs and alcohol, and frustration with social identity and acceptance, to name just a few of the increasingly complex factors. Young adults are less inclined to maintain consistent counselling sessions. When mental health problems begin to manifest in a larger context, the potential for severe situations also increases. Homelessness would be one. Many of the people living on the street and under bridges in this city suffer from mental illness. Likely they did as children as well. Criminal activity would be another. Homelessness is mundane compared to the cost of crime in terms of enforcement, justice and incarceration. And then there’s the potential of violence, which can carry a price beyond value. It brings new meaning to the expression, “Pity the children.”

New history book highlights change from village to city A new book on Abbotsford’s history will document the community’s change from a village to a city. The MSA Museum Society has announced the publication of “Abbotsford, from Village to City: A Commitment to Excellence and Innovation.” The book is edited by local poet and historian Robert Martens and museum archivist Anneleen van Dijk. It highlights Abbotsford’s growth and development in industry, health and community care, justice services, culture, and environmental consciousness. “It is inspirational to see so many people from such a wide range of backgrounds contributing to this

project. This book represents Abbotsford’s journey from a village to the city it is today,” said van Dijk. With written contributions by more than 40 local authors, most of whom were personally involved in the stories they tell, the result is a collection of essays with intimacy and passion. Topics include the origins and evolution of UFV, Community Services, and the Abbotsford Airshow, as well as the story of the city’s populist resistance to the construction of the SE2 power plant in Sumas, Wash. On May 25 at the 7 p.m. meeting of city council, the first copy of a limited edition printing of the book will be presented to

letters Restrictions on foreign ownership A serious issue that has been bothering me for years is foreign ownership of residential and commercial properties. Tragically, our provincial government, specifically our premier, clearly endorses foreign ownership from comments she has made. Certainly she must realize refusal to take the matter in hand forces Canadian citizens and residents out of the market and allows our land to be taken over by financial tycoons that care nothing other than for getting maximum return on their investment with absolutely no concern for our country and even less for our citizens. Recently, it was reported that properties in the Greater Vancouver were up for sale, but Canadian buyers were and/or are excluded. On the issue of foreign ownership, all levels of government should place severe restrictions on the sale of property to foreign owners. In addition, foreign owners should be required to pay a premium on property taxes and any property transfer taxes, especially when they take over properties and simply leave them vacant with the view of re-selling them at some later date. I would ask Premier Christy Clark if she is in any way concerned for those citizens or residents who are being shut out of property ownership solely due to greed on the part of current property owners who are prepared to have our country taken over by foreigners. Frank Wirrell, Abbotsford

former Mayor George F. Ferguson, to whom the book is dedicated. The book was the brainchild of for-

mer librarian David Giesbrecht. Dorothy van der Ree, retired director of the MSA Museum Society, guid-

ed the book through to its conclusion with the support of a committed volunteer book committee.

The MSA Museum Society will hold a book launch on Thursday, May 28 from 6 to 9 p.m. at

the Trethewey House Heritage site (2313 Ware St.). Writers will be present to sign purchased copies.

2015 Freshet This year, seasonal flood risk for the entire Fraser River is below normal. Seasonal weather during the snow melt season is a critical factor in determining whether or not flooding will occur. Adverse weather, including extreme heat or extreme precipitation, can cause flooding in years with normal, or even below normal snow packs. Seepage pooling in the prairie near the dyke is quite common during freshet. To minimize the seepage pooling and/or a boil from forming on your property, please avoid the following activities from May to September near the dykes:

• Camp fires, backyard fire pits/burn barrels and portable fireplaces are banned throughout the year.

• the removal of trees or stumps;

• Outdoor barbeques which use charcoal briquettes, propane, or natural gas are permitted and may be used, always follow manufacturers clearance guide to combustibles.

• digging holes with machines.

If you have any questions regarding burning in the City of Abbotsford, please contact the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service at 604-853-3566 or visit our website www.abbotsford.ca/fire.

Police warn of missing-cat ruse Suspicious woman targets Matsqui Village Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is warning the public about a woman who uses the ruse of a missing cat to try to rob people. Const. Ian MacDonald said a homeowner posted on Facebook about a recent incident that took place at her

ARTHRITIS Snoring? Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. #1 NPN 80042283 Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister. Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Sleep apnea? Trouble falling asleep?

University of Toronto professor states that 69% of adults have sleeping problems. Bad sleep reduces physical and creative energy all next day. Almost all families are affected. Sleep apnea may cause high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and irregular heart beats. Can be very destructive in relationships. Hundreds of true testimonials on the Bell website from people like you. Real people wrote: I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH. Sleep #23 NPN 80027595 apnea capsules worked first night. For 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 #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 anymore. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Allergies are a modern epidemic

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. What people experience: I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered Bell Allergy Relief, I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB For twenty years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On the third day, all of my allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks, I tried all the #24 NPN 80043542 medications and none worked. After taking one capsule in the morning, I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX.

residence in Matsqui Village. The resident had left her front door open and, when she was in a different area, saw a shadow. When she came back in the room, a woman was standing in the house and said she was looking for her missing cat. The intruder quickly left the residence, and the homeowner noticed that her purse had been knocked to the floor. It appeared as if her purse had been rummaged through, but nothing was missing. After the homeowner posted the incident on Facebook, others came forward with similar stories.

news? witness breaking

Most said they had come across a woman on their property, saying she was looking for either a lost dog or cat. In one case, she was holding a cat carrier. No one reported that any items were stolen. One resident was able to photograph the woman, with a male companion, and copies of the pictures were then posted around Matsqui Village as a warning of her suspicious activities. The matter was also reported to the APD, who are now investigating. Anyone with information, or similar stories, is asked to call the APD at 604-8595225 or text abbypd (222973).

Diversity and immigration partnership Program for newcomers enters its second year Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The Fraser Valley Diversity and Immigration Partnership (FVDIP) is heading into its second year of assisting immigrants in the Abbotsford community. An event in downtown Abbotsford last

week launched the second year of the partnership, which is made up of leaders from different organizations, sectors and industries in the Fraser Valley area. A b b o t s f o r d Community Services (ACS) received $288,000 in federal funding to lead the project as part of the

New Patients Welcome!

federal government’s Local Immigration Partnership (LIP). LIPs bring together community groups and organizations to develop coordinated approaches to promote and incorporate immigrant settlement and integration. Hardeep Sidhu, chair of the FVDIP council, said Abbotsford welcomes more than 1,000 immigrants each year. She said moving to a new country is stressful, but the community can help. “Organizations have come together to form this collective initiative … designed to strengthen our ability to welcome immigrants who call the Fraser Valley their home.” The partnership coun-

cil – which has representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, school district, University of the Fraser Valley and more – aims to help attract, settle and integrate immigrants to build a stronger community and businesses. The council aims to learn what is available for immigrants, what is lacking and how to increase awareness of immigrant needs. Grace, a local newcomer, spoke about the difficulties she faced in coming to Canada. Previously a licensed physiotherapist in the Philippines and Saudi Arabia, she moved to Canada as a live-in caregiver to gain her permanent residency so her husband and child

taking seven years of being alone in Canada. Grace said it is important for people to know how difficult it is to immigrate, adding it was helpful to have support. “I was crying myself to sleep,” she said. “I was just so lonely.” She was directed to ACS, which helped her with her applications and connected her with assistance for skills training. “I was overwhelmed

with all the help that I got.” Manpreet Grewal, director of multicultural and immigrant services at ACS, said the partnership is needed because integration “is a two-way street.” She said community groups can provide different benefits and there is a process to see what roles everyone can play.

Local golfer signs with Cascades Nathan Bahnman, one of the top junior golfers in the Fraser Valley, has signed with the UFV Cascades men’s golf team. Bahnman, who is finishing off his Grade 12 studies at Abbotsford’s Mennonite Educational Institute, will join the Cascades in the fall. “We are thrilled to have Nathan join the Cascades golf program,” head coach Chris Bertram said. “I have watched him develop as a player over the last few years, and I am confident he could have a big impact right away.” Bahnman, age 17, plays out of Ledgeview Golf Club and Cultus Lake Golf Club. He won a pair of Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) events last summer, and represented Canada as part of a CJGA team at the 2014 Dutch Junior Open. He finished tied for 49th and was tied for top Canadian honours at the U21 international event.

UFV is hosting the PING CCAA Golf National Championships this fall (Oct. 13-16 at Chilliwack Golf Club), and Bahnman said that was a factor in his decision to join the Cascades.

Abbotsford golfer Nathan Bahnman has committed to play for the University of the Fraser Valley.

hopes the extended time off will give his players a chance to recover. “It’s been tough,” Eckstein said. “We haven’t pitched as well as we hoped to from the beginning, but it’s tough when five or six of your starters haven’t been able to play. “We’ve had concussions, we had a kid go down with multiple fractures in the face, we’ve had an elbow injury, a shoulder injury, a hamstring, a lat. “The list is never-

ending,” he said, and even some of those players still in the lineup, like star Tanner Rempel, are playing hurt. The Cardinals have called several players up from their junior team, and Eckstein said they acquitted themselves well Tuesday during a 7-6 loss to the Langley Blaze that saw the winning run scored in the ninth inning. “We have to get better everyday and some of these young kids are going to have to step up for us.”

plenty available to get this truck up to highway speed. I quite enjoyed the drive and although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as a drove throughout the city, only to have my bubble burst as I ran into never ending construction. Verdict: I found the new F150 to be slight improvement over the previous version with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I’ll let you know if it was a hit or a miss.

amongst Indian collectors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. India has a very rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De DionBouton. To summarize the event, it is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage, unlike Pebble Beach. Vehicles are not shipped to India from all over the world because only vehicles from within India can enter. It gives people a chance to see some magnificent cars from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted private collectors. Visit the picture gallery at drivewaybc.ca

Suzy passed away peacefully on May 13, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Suzy was born in Langley, BC on April 12, 1952 and lived her whole life in the lower mainland. Tragically predeceased by son Jarrid in 2004, Suzy is survived and will be forever missed by daughter Brittany (Terry), husband Kevin, stepson Lee (Chelsea), grandchildren Benjamin, Lukas and Tucker, mother Joan, sister Connie, brother Gordie (Kim) and many other friends and family too numerous to mention. Suzy was a long time employee of London Drugs and was eternally grateful for the network of friends she had through her work family. She was an avid hiker, loved to dragonboat (and that network of friends), working in her garden and yard at Birch Bay, loved animals and was a regular supporter of the SPCA. Suzy had a smile that could light up a room and embraced life every day, no matter what challenges she faced. Suzy firmly believed her family and friends came first and she was the first one to provide comfort in times of need and to help celebrate their successes. Suzy’s passing leaves a hole that can never be filled but memories of her kindness, her joy of life and love and commitment to friends and family will never be forgotten. In lieu of flowers donations to the Mission Hospice would be gratefully appreciated. A Celebration of Suzy’s life will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015, in Abbotsford, time and location still to be determined.

Lena Dudzik

EMPLOYMENT/EDUCATION 114

November 15, 1927 May 15, 2015 Lena (Michalina) Dudzik was born in Wostok, Alberta. She was one of six children born to William and Irene Chipiuk. The family owned a large cattle and grain farm in St. Lina, Alberta and Lena spent her youth assisting with tending to the farm. As a young woman she moved to the west coast where she met her husband, Bruno and they were wed in 1954. Bruno and Lena welcomed two sons into the world, Barry and Frank. They were fiercely proud of their children and instilled in them a strong work ethic and a great sense of responsibility. Lena was a devoted wife and mother who enjoyed old country music, dancing, crocheting, baking and gardening. She was also a devoted member of the Holy Cross Ukrainian Catholic Church in Whalley, B.C. and a valued member of the women’s church auxiliary. Lena was a fabulous cook and hostess. A meal at the Dudzik home was full of laughter and awash in tasty homemade delicacies from Eastern Europe. As Baba, Lena was extremely proud of the many accomplishments of her five grandchildren: Trent (Stacey), Clark, Danika, Paige and Evan. Lena was predeceased by her husband Bruno and brothers John and Joe. She is survived by brothers Alec and Tom and sister Pearl Peniuk, sons Barry (Deirdre) and Frank (Lynda), grandchildren, extended family and friends. The Dudzik family would like to thank Dr. A. Chafe and the entire staff at Menno Home (every one of you is an angel on earth) in Abbotsford.

FROESE Gerhard “George” April 8, 1917 – April 24, 2015

FROESE, Gerhard “George” of Abbotsford, BC went to be with the Lord at the age of 98 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital on April 24, 2015. He was born on April 8, 1917 in Isiljkulj, Siberia, Russia. George was predeceased by his father and mother, Isaac and Elizabeth Koop, his adoptive parents Abram and Catherina Froese, his wife, Irma (nee Funk), his younger sister Mary and his other brothers and sisters in Russia.

George moved from Russia to Canada with his adoptive parents and sister, Mary,

at the age of 13 and settled in Steinbach, Manitoba. In 1944 he moved with his family to a dairy farm in Matsqui, BC. In 1945 George married Irma and settled in Mt. Lehman where he founded Bakerview Farms, a commercial egg farm, and raised his 6 children. George enjoyed his life as a chicken farmer and was very proud of the fact that the farm has remained in the family.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, May 30 at 11:00 a.m. at Bakerview MB Church, 2285 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford.
