Deadly ‘dusting’ Woman’s death in Mill Lake Park linked to inhalant Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

A woman whose body was found in Mill Lake Park in July died from inhaling “gas duster” used to clean electronic equipment, police said Tuesday. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said six cans of the compressed gas were found near the woman when investigators arrived at the scene on July 30. The body of the woman, later identified as a 36-year-old Mission resident, was discovered at about 6 a.m. that day by a person walking their dog in a forested area of the park at Emerson Street and Bevan Avenue. There has been widespread speculation in the community that the woman was murdered, and MacDonald said police had to await autopsy and toxicology results before they could reveal the actual cause of death. Those results were only recently released to police, confirming that the woman died of fatal exposure to difluoroethane gas – one of the main components in compressed gas dusters. MacDonald said many people assume the products – used to clean keyboards and electronic equipment – contain only “canned air” and are harmless to inhale. However, the products contain chemicals such as tetrafluoroethan and difluoroethane, which can have devastating effects on the lungs, central nervous system and brain when inContinued on A3 haled, he said.

Family takes refuge in church Mother and sons were ordered deported to Hungary Monique TAMMINGA Black Press

An Abbotsford mother and her two sons have joined Langley’s José Figueroa in sanctuary at the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church. Mariann Juhasz and her sons Patrik, 17, and Tamas, 12, arrived at the church on Nov. 30 after spending 18 days in hiding, fearing they would be arrested by Canadian Border Service Agency officers and deported to their home country of Hungary. “We asked many churches for sanctuary and they all said no, until we spoke with Pastor Karl Keller (of Walnut Grove Lutheran),” said Patrik. “Before that we we so scared, living in four different places before coming here. Always watching our back.” Finally, the family feels safe, he said. “Once we stepped inside this church, the freedom I felt was like the four years we have lived in Canada,” said Patrik. With four people now in sanctuary, Walnut Grove Lutheran holds more than 55 per cent of all the people living in sanctuary in B.C. On Oct. 21, the CBSA told the family they were scheduled to be deported on Nov. 12. Immigration Canada had rejected Mariann’s request to stay in the country on humanitarian grounds. She fled Hungary four years ago, after finding out her youngest son was being abused by his father. She was estranged from Tamas’ father, but he was still allowed to see his son every second weekend. The psychological damage of the abuse is documented by therapists Tamas has seen in Canada and by his inability to cope with stress.

File photo

Mariann Juhasz, shown with her sons Patrik, left, and Tamas has sought sanctuary at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church after learning the family would be deported to Hungary. When he learned he would be deported, Tamas fainted on the table at the Vancouver CBSA office, said Patrik. The family claims they banged on the window and screamed for help, but weren’t able to wake Tamas. “We were so scared. We question why it took them around five minutes to respond,” said Patrik. An ambulance was called. Tamas could not eat and was throwing up — overcome by fear of being deported, said his brother. Tamas told his family he would commit

suicide before going back to his father in Hungary. In its decision, the Immigration Review Board member recognized that Tamas had been abused, but noted that Hungary is on Canada’s safe list. The family’s refugee claim was turned down after the Canadian government deemed that they “would not be subject to risk of persecution, danger of torture, risk to life or risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment” if they returned to their home country. Mariann disagrees. “If we go back, the Hungary, police could be waiting for me at the airport to arrest me,” she said. “Then Tamas will go to live with his father and he will die.” Fathers have overriding rights in Hungary, she said. Mariann explains that they came to Canada instead of another country in Europe to avoid being arrested. Because of the European Union agreement, police from Hungary have the right and ability to arrest her in any country within the union. More than 1,000 people have signed a petition asking for the Abbotsford family to be allowed to stay in Canada. Since they sought sanctuary in the church, friends and co-workers, as well as both boys’ teachers and Mariann’s bosses have stopped by. Before going into hiding, Mariann worked three jobs, including one at the food court at Sevenoaks Mall. Sevenoaks general manager Wendy Schultz said the Juhasz family has flourished in Canada, with both boys attending school and Mariann working hard to remain self-sufficient. Continued on A4

The practice of inhaling canned gas cleaners is referred to as “dusting.” MacDonald said this is the first time the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) has investigated such a death. He said even people within the APD were surprised to hear that dusters can be used in a way similar to the “huffing” of products such as cooking spray and glue. MacDonald said police hope releasing the information serves as an awareness message to the public and to retailers who might want to limit the sale of the product, for example, to kids. He said it is an important message to disseminate, particularly to people who might think there is no harm in “dusting.” “It might have made our victim high. It also made her dead,” MacDonald said. He said it’s not clear why the woman went to Mill Lake Park to inhale the products. Police do not believe anyone was with

her at the time of her death. He said she had come to Abbotsford the day before and had left the place where she was staying. MacDonald said the victim, who had recently moved to B.C., does not fit the stereotypical image of someone who is “marginalized” and would seek this type of method to get high. “She was in regular contact with out-ofprovince family and lived in a home with her two dogs.” He said it’s not been determined how much product the woman had ingested to cause her death. “It’s probably different for different people … I don’t think it’s the roll of the dice you want to take.” Few statistics are available on inhalant deaths, but the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) states that most users are between the ages of 10 and 16, although chronic solvent users are usually

in their 20s. The CAMH indicates that a 2011 survey of Ontario students in Grades 7 to 12 reported that 5.6 per cent had sniffed glue or solvents at least once in the past year. A 2004 survey of Canadians 15 years and older reported that 1.3 per cent had used inhalants at least once in their lifetime, according to the CAMH. One of the more high-profile deaths occurred in July of this year involving an American actress, Skye McCole Bartusiak, 21, who died from an accidental overdose possibly linked to dusting. Her autopsy results indicated she had died due to the “combined toxic effects of hydrocodone and difluoroethane with carisoprodol.” Due to inhalant abuse, a bitterant – a chemical that makes a product smell or taste bitter – is added to dusters and other toxic substances to discourage inhalation or ingestion.

“We were not collecting welfare, there was no child benefits, my mom paid taxes,” said Patrik. “We were just living a good life, waiting for our papers.” In Abbotsford, Patrik was involved in football and Tamas played basketball at school. Now they cannot step outside the church or they risk being arrested. Supporters of the family are providing financial aid, food and plenty of support, telling Pastor Karl they will take care of them. Now awaiting a re-review of his own case, the father of three from El Salvador is helping the Hungarian family look through their deportation order. The Canadian Border Services Agency issued a warrant for Figueroa’s arrest in October 2013. That was when he sought sanctuary in the church, rather than be deported to Central America. Figueroa recognizes that it can be a huge burden for a church to take in people seeking sanctuary, but he urges more churches to do so. Keller looked to scripture to know he as a pastor and man of God must grant this family sanctuary. But he wonders why a church in Abbotsford didn’t help. “I called a bunch of churches in Abbotsford but none would take them,” said Keller. “It is so surprising. They say Abbotsford is the Bible belt and yet it seems to me they are heavy on the belt and light on the Bible.” In getting to know the family, and hearing how traumatized Tamas is, he questions how CBSA made its decision. “Section 25 of the Immigration Regulations states the priority in all decisions should be with the children. We don’t see that here.”

Salvation Army still in need of donations and volunteers Kettle campaign continues, but more donations necessary Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News

The Salvation Army still needs help this holiday season, as they have received fewer donations than this time last year, while facing a greater demand for their services. Deb Lowell, spokesperson for the local Salvation Army, which covers Abbotsford and Mission, said they are behind on their Christmas fundraising goal of $450,000 by Dec. 31. The money supports services, like hot meals, emergency shelter, crisis response and outreach, for the entire year. The donations to the Red Kettle campaign, where volunteers collect funds at businesses around Abbotsford and Mission, are similar to last year with about $50,000 collected. But Lowell said donations that are mailed in or dropped off at the Centre of Hope on Gladys Avenue are “way down.” The Salvation Army has received about $40,000 – far less than this time last

year. “Knowing what our goal is, where we are at and how many days we have left, it’s a little bit concerning.” Adding to the concern is the much greater demand on resources in previous years. In 2014 the Salvation Army served more hot meals, more emergency food hampers and more parcels of fresh produce than the previous year. Also, they assisted more people with housing and substance abuse and detox programs. In addition to funds, the Salvation Army also needs more volunteers to help out with the kettle campaign through Abbotsford and Mission. Those interested in volunteering can call the Red Kettle hotline at 604-309-0660. A new initiative raising money for the Salvation Army this year is the “You Make an Ugly Sweater Look Good” contest. Individuals and groups are invited to visit Marshalls in the Highstreet shopping

an egg-laying operation in Langley had become the 10th farm to be affected by the outbreak of the “highly pathogenic” H5N2 virus. A total of 233,800 birds have now either died from the outbreak, or been ordered euthanized. BCCGA president Ravi Bathe, who runs a 90,000-bird broiler chicken operation in Abbotsford, said farmers have been doing their utmost to stop the virus from spreading. “The farmers are doing everything they can and sometimes it’s out of their control,” he said Tuesday morning. “This is coming through the migratory bird population, we think, and what are you going to do? ... we need ventilation, we need air to get in the barns.” In a report to the World Organization for Animal Health, the CFIA wrote: “the H5N2 virus detected in B.C. contains five of eight gene segments from highly pathogenic Eurasian H5N8 virus including the H5 gene and three of eight segments from typical North American viruses including the N2 gene (wild bird origin).” However, in an email to the News, the CFIA said that the specific strain currently affecting Abbotsford farms has not been detected in wild birds in Canada, although surveillance and testing continues.

Surrey Six victims’ families speak out at sentencing Sheila REYNOLDS Black Press

For the third time since her 22-year-old son was murdered in her Surrey apartment building seven years ago, Eileen Mohan attempted to describe to a judge the impact her child’s slaying has had on her life. In court last Friday for the sentencing of Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston, Mohan took the stand, tearfully trying to convey her deep, devastating and lingering loss. She said the bullets that killed her son shattered her family forever and she still carries great guilt that she didn’t stay home that day as planned instead of going in to work. “How was I to know that evil would walk to my doorstep?” she asked. Haevischer and Johnston, both Red Scorpion gang members, were each found guilty in October of six counts of first-degree

murder and one count chose to address the of conspiracy to commit court or apologize to murder in relation to the the families of the vicexecution-style mass tims.

Only Mohan and Jourdane Lal, sister of Corey and Michael Lal, spoke directly to the court. Others had the Crown prosecutor read statements on their behalf. Schellenberg’s wife Lois and daughter Rachel spoke of a kind and thoughtful husband and father, who was servicing fireplaces in the Balmoral Tower the day of the murders and happened to be in the death suite. Lois described her husband as her best friend. Rachel said her life now is not the one she should be living. “I sit here fatherless …” she said. Jamie Bacon, allegedly the leader of the Red Scorpions at the time of the murders, has also been charged in the case. He is scheduled to go to trial in May on one count each of conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder. – with files from Vikki Hopes

‘Everyone pays’ seems fair to me Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand The Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council decision to propose a .5 per cent sales tax increase to fund transit needs in the region is a sensible allocation of financial responsibility. The sales tax increase means that everyone who buys anything in Metro Vancouver will help pay for improvements. Any other of the suggested solutions – vehicle levy, carbon tax, gas tax, property tax – meant specific groups would have been, in many cases unfairly, taxed to provide service to others. This proposed tax increase is so small it will be hardly noticed, yet will generate some $250 million in revenue to provide expanded transit options and infrastructure improvements. Will it change shopping habits across the

region? Hardly. Why, for example, would someone drive from Langley to Abbotsford to save $5 on a $1,000 television, spending $10 on fuel to achieve that saving? And anyone in Metro thinking they can avoid the sales tax increase on big costs like a new car or truck by buying in Abbotsford, think again, because the .5 per cent could be levied on where you register the vehicle, not where you buy it. Of course, there are those who suggest folks who live outside Metro Vancouver should pay too. Sorry, but there won’t be any service provided to us through this levy. Yes, Valley residents do travel west, but we also pay a toll to cross the bridge. The B.C. branch of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is apparently gearing up to fight the proposed sales tax increase. All well and good, but where do they think the funding for improvements should come from? Come up with an alternative solution and, if I lived in the region, might buy it. But to oppose this small tax increase, based only on the contention that TransLink is a poor steward of the funding it receives

now, and the increase it will get if the tax referendum is approved this spring, is weak at best. I agree that TransLink needs a major shake-up. After all, its aim is to get people out of cars and onto transit, so why do its executives receive hefty car allowances? If they led by example, and used the service

We have the opportunity here to prepare for the future. themselves, the rest of us might be encouraged to get out of our cars too. Perhaps while the provincial government is pondering the mayors’ council proposal, they might also look into the current inhouse expenditures and costs of running TransLink. Might be enough savings there to provide a couple of buses, or possibly even a whole slew of them.

SWITCHBOARD 604.853.1144 I CIRCULATION: 604.870.4595 I CLASSIFIED: 604.851.4537

Regardless, the urban growth of Metro Vancouver demands both a change of attitude of the car culture, and vastly improved and efficient transit systems. And then, the pressure will shift to Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Industry, jobs and housing must be both encouraged and planned for so that when there comes a need for rapid transit here, corridors will be in place, housing located adjacent to industry and our urban cores densified. Metro Vancouver is playing catch-up. We have the opportunity here to prepare for the future. Gloucester Industrial Estates, Fraser Highway, lands adjacent to Abbotsford Airport, what will eventually be abandoned rock quarry sites on Sumas Mountain, are key to our future job creation. When Abbotsford’s Official Community Plan is completed, and it seems to be taking an inordinate amount of time to achieve that, all of the above and more must be factored into it. It would be a shame to squander the opportunity to be prepared for the future. markrushton@abbynews.com 34375 Gladys Ave., Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 2H5

Sentenced for car theft

Vikki HOPES

Abbotsford News

A Chilliwack man who was named one of B.C.’s top 10 auto crime offenders earlier this year and was arrested in Abbotsford on Dec. 2 has been sentenced. Shaun Darryl Bolko, 32, was sentenced Wednesday in Abbotsford provincial court to five and a half months in prison on charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000 and breaching probation. His jail term will be followed by one year of probation. He pleaded guilty to the charges, while three others – possession of a break-in instrument, theft of a motor vehicle and a second count of breaching his probation – were stayed. The charges were laid after Bolko was arrested in Abbotsford on Dec. 2 while he was inside a Ford F-350 pickup stolen earlier in the day from Chilliwack. Bolko also pleaded guilty on Dec. 5 to a charge of driving while prohibited in Coquitlam in August and was is-

sued a one-year driving ban and a $500 fine. Bolko was named one of B.C.’s top 10 auto crime offenders in March and was arrested just two days later in Abbotsford while in the company of another man in the vicinity of a stolen Ford F-250. At the time, he was wanted on a warrant for failure to comply and possession of a stolen vehicle. Following his arrest, he faced an additional charge of breaching his conditions. In April, Bolko faced further charges of possession of stolen property, possession of a firearm, possession of a break-in instrument and breaching his probation. These charges were related to Bolko possessing a stolen Ford F-350 in Chilliwack. The following month, he was sentenced to 81 days in jail, followed by 18 months of probation and a lifetime weapons ban. Bolko has more than 15 criminal charges dating back to 2001, mainly in Chilliwack.

Match appeals drug conviction

Pizza Deals

Sentenced to prison 2009, now charged with murder Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford man charged last week with a murder in Surrey will be in court on Thursday seeking to have his prior drug conviction set aside. Randeep Match, 33, is appealing the September 2012 decision that resulted in his receiving a sentence of five and a half years on a charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel can agree to uphold the conviction, set it aside and order a new trial, or acquit Match, which they will only Randeep Match is shown do if they determine cocaine possession. the evidence is so weak that a new trial couldn’t end in a conviction. Match and another Abbotsford man, Manindervir Virk, were arrested in September 2009 after being spotted by the Air One police helicopter running through a berry field in the area of Mt. Lehman Road and Zero Avenue – along the Canada-U.S. border. Officers dispatched to the scene discovered four duffel bags filled with 40 bricks of cocaine valued at between $1.4 and $2 million. Match and Virk were found hiding in some bushes

and were arrested at the scene. They were convicted in November 2011 and sentenced the following September. Information at the sentencing hearing indicated that Match was married with two children and had been a truck driver before becoming a carpet layer. He was also an active volunteer at the Sikh temple. Match did not have a criminal record before the drug conviction, although a restraining order was issued against him in January 2009, according to the provincial court database. Last week, the File photo Integrated Homicide during his 2009 arrest for Investigation Team announced that Match was being charged with the second-degree murder of Tarsem (Shane) Dhaliwal, 36, of Surrey. Dhaliwal was found dead Jan. 21 in a vehicle in the 18900 block of 92nd Avenue in the Port Kells area of Surrey. It was the city’s first homicide of the year. His cause of death has not been released by police. Police said Match and Dhaliwal knew each other and the attack was targeted, although they didn’t reveal the motive.

Call for heritage policy change A local company and First Nations are reaching out to the province over its heritage policy after aboriginal cultural sites were a factor in the city’s rejection of a development in east Abbotsford. Corpus Management Group (CMG) had proposed an agri-centre – consolidating agricultural equipment dealers

at the intersection of Atkinson and Eldridge roads. Council denied the $40-million project, with one reason being the culturally significant sites. When CMG had first acquired a 165-acre development property in Abbotsford, no archaeological or other heritage sites were identified, according to a news re-

lease from the company. After CMG purchased the site, it was brought to their attention that a portion of the parcel included previously recorded archeological sites registered with the Archeology Branch and protected under the Heritage Conservation Act (HCA). CMG also learned of other First Nation heritage sites,

including boulder landmark and associated 18th century smallpoxera cemetery identified by the Se:math (Sumas) First Nation, neither of which were registered under the HCA. CMG says that raises the issues of compensation for land owners as a factor of protecting significant First Nations cultural values. John Glazema, managing director of CMG, with backing from the Sto:lo First Nation, has requested the government enact measures dealing with current shortcomings of the HCA, as well as requesting compensation for limitations on the value and use of their Abbotsford property. Glazema recommended the government explore establishing a provincially linked Heritage Lands Funds which would support mitigating properties affected by Aboriginal cemeteries and other significant heritage sites, similar to plans proposed by the First Nations Leadership Council in BC.

Province rescinds approval of law school Move follows criticism that covenant on sex is anti-gay

Jeff NAGEL Black Press

The province has terminated its authorization for what would have become B.C.’s first faith-based law school at a Langley Christian university. Trinity Western University president Bob Kuhn said he’s disappointed with the decision of Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk to revoke the government’s consent granted a year ago. The move follows a referendum decision

by the Law Society of B.C. earlier this fall to revoke its accreditation for the law school. Opponents in the legal community say TWU discriminates against gays and lesbians because of its controversial community covenant that bans sex outside of traditional marriage between a man and a woman. Kuhn said TWU remains committed to launching the law school and must now carefully consider its options. Virk said in an emailed statement his decision to revoke approval means TWU

can’t enrol any students in the proposed law school. The Law Society of B.C. voted 74 per cent against recognizing the new law school in the referendum, which was confirmed in a 25-1 vote of the society’s board of governors. The referendum was ordered after thousands of lawyers demanded the law profession’s regulatory body reconsider its earlier decision. The law school was approved by the provincial government in December 2013.

Mouat seniors claim titles

From A20

Cousins piled up an absurd number of midcourt interceptions. The Hawks rallied in the second, thanks to Alicia Unruh and the soft touch of Brittany Wertman, who sunk a buzzer-beating three at half to cut the Eagles’ lead to 29-27. Mouat continued their charge in the second half, and took a five-point lead into the last two minutes. Unruh sealed the win with a back-breaking three-point play. Unruh had 26 points in the game, including 20 in the second half, while Claggett finished with 15 points for the Eagles. Junior boys The MEI Eagles junior boys squad rolled to a city title Saturday, with

The Hawks finished the first quarter with a 12-11 lead, but were outscored by the Eagles 25-8 in the second quarter on the backs of Noah Nickel and Brenden Loewen. The Hawks found their own 10-0 run in the third quarter, with strong play from Jugi Malhi and Zach Plummer that allowed them to climb back into striking distance. But, the Eagles were too strong an opponent to crumble under pressure, with Kyle Claggett racking up the assists

and draining a critical three, while fellow tower Cade Smith exploited coverage gaps down low. Malhi drained another three in the fourth on his way to 23 points for the Hawks, while Nickel finished with 20 points for the Eagles and Smith had 18. Malhi and Nickel were named the players of the game. Junior girls In one of the most intense contests of the tournament, the Abby Panthers beat the Mouat Hawks 60-53 with a tumultuously explosive performance.

While the Panthers led for much of the game, it was never by very much, and the Hawks forced overtime on a last-minute trey from guard Amna Hadzovic after coming on strong in the fourth quarter. In overtime the Hawks struck first, but a three from Abby’s Marissa Dyck and a put-back from Nyesha Seebaran sealed the Panthers’ victory.

It’s pretty obvious. That’s the only way they thought they could win the hockey game. It still didn’t work for them so they should go back to the board to see what else they can do.” Mission City did get another goal, with Bakshi Gill potting a rebound past Crawford at 10:43. However, that’s as close as they’d come because the Port Moody-native kept the Outlaws at bay, including a big stop off David McGowan at the side of the net on a rebound opportunity. Crawford even got a little help from Methorst, who blocked a shot at the top of the crease late in the game. The Pilots travel to Delta to take on the Ice Hawks Tuesday night, before hosting the Richmond Sockeyes Friday in their final game of 2014. “We’ve been banged up all year, playing 15- and 16-yearold hockey players,” said Cowden. “It’s going to be nice just to get through the games, have a nice Christmas break, get healthy and take a run.”

Abbotsford News Wednesday, December 17, 2014

Together we are making a difference! The sentiment of Andy William’s lyrics of the old song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” couldn’t be further from the truth for the many thousands of individuals we serve in a year. The hustle and bustle of the season has begun as Christmas carols play in every store, yet for those we serve, shopping or ‘being of good cheer’ is the last thing on their minds. No money for presents or new clothes for the kids. Not enough money to buy proper groceries and scarcely enough to pay the rent. Worried that eviction is just around the corner. During the holiday season, those who are in desperate need will turn to The Salvation Army for help and hope. Would you join with us and be part of the miracle that will bring comfort and joy to hundreds of families right here in our community?

Because of your gracious support over the last year, The Salvation Army in Abbotsford has provided: • Over 84,896 nutritious meals (nearly 15,000 more than last year) • Over 8389 Bed Nights in our Shelter (Our Shelter has run at an average of 120% capacity for the last five months) • Over 43,700 parcels of fresh produce and bread items (up from 38,500 last year) • Over 900 Christmas gifts to children • Over 860 Emergency Food Hampers (nearly 200 more than last year) • Over 215 Referrals to Detox and Substance Abuse (almost 100 more than last year) • 160 Individuals housed in their own accommodation or Recovery Houses (up from 120 last year) As you can see, the demand upon our resources continues to increase dramatically and does cause us concern as we head into the cold, wet winter months. Together we can and we are making a difference in the lives of people in our community. Would you partner with us in this season of great need? Your donation today will enable us to continue to invest in the lives of those who come through our doors each and every day. For more information on how you can help us help others, please contact The Centre of Hope at 604 852 9305. Should you wish to make a donation, our staff will be happy to process your donation over the phone, or, you can mail in your donation today. On behalf of those we serve: thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Together we are transforming lives! May you and yours experience Peace and Joy this Holiday Season.

THERE’S NO BETTER TIME TO TOGETHER WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The Community Access Program (CAP) at Yale secondary has made its annual donation to local charities. The program is for students who are moderately and mildly intellectually disabled. Since September, they have been collecting food donations for the Abbotsford Food Bank, along with the bottles they collect for their business throughout the year. The group achieved its goal of raising $1,000 and has now donated money to the food bank, Youth Unlimited and Cyrus Centre.

Brown receives provincial honour

Abbotsford News Wednesday, December 17, 2014

Named Photographer of the Year Jason Brown of Abbotsford has been named the Photographer of the Year by the Professional Photographers of Canada – BC (PPOCBC). Brown, a professional photographer at Revival Arts in Abbotsford, received the honour when his work was among that exhibited in the 2014 Provincial Image Salon at the Roundhouse in Vancouver. He also won the Best in Class award and earned a Judges’ Choice ribbon for his image “Sultana of Style” in the fashion class, as well as the Jaan de Haas and the Langara Alumni award for his image “Preposterous Erection.” Brown also received honourable mentions in the fine art class for “Preposterous Erection” and in the Illustration class for “Love Potion Number Nine.” This year, there were 214 images entered in the Provincial Image Salon, with 56 per cent of those accepted into the National Image Salon. There were 14 finalists for the Photographer of the Year award. When assessing the submissions, the panel of master judges considered criteria such as impact, creativity, style, composition and technique. “There were so many talented photographers who were finalists for the Photographer of the Year award that I was ecstatic to hear that I was chosen as the winner,” Brown said. “Being a competing member of the Professional Photographers of Canada helps me to continue raising the bar for image creation. I love the challenge and look forward to what next year will bring.” Brown is a secondgeneration artist and has been pursuing photography since he bought his first SLR camera from an ad in the “Buckpasser” in 1997 and studied com-

mercial photography at Langara College in Vancouver. He has used his photography skills to support many non-profit organizations locally and internationally such as Run for Water, the Crystal Gala, We Day, Matthew’s House and many more. He has photographed celebrities including Nelly Furtado, Jennifer Hudson, Macklemore with Ryan Lewis, Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas for Free the Children’s We Day events. Brown has previously won top provincial and national awards for his commercial and portrait photography and holds nine accreditations from the PPOC. He regularly does commercial photography for a wide variety of North American companies and portrait photography for families throughout the Lower Mainland.

LAVOIE - Annette Louise (nee Gibbs) Annette Louise Lavoie (nee Gibbs) of Abbotsford BC. It was a year ago on a snowy December 20 that you had to suddenly leave us after fighting cancer for years, first breast cancer, and then brain cancer. You were so brave and strong in your fight and we know you would have stayed with us longer if you could have. There is not a day that goes by that we don’t miss you or think of you. We will always love you. It has been such a difficult time these past years, but our family is very grateful and blessed by all the support of family, friends and the caring of the people of Abbotsford. We thank you all. “We your family miss you In the house where you used to be We wanted so much to keep you But God willed it not to be Now you are in God’s keeping You suffer no more pain So dear God take care of her Until we meet again”

RICE Susana Oct. 19, 1933 ~ Dec. 8, 2014

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. After a brief but courageous battle with cancer, her journey ended with her loving family at her side. Sue was a gentle soul, who will be missed by many. The family would like to thank the Tertiery Palliative Care Unit at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and the dedicated and comforting staff.

BURGESS

HILDEBRANDT

Bob

Helen

Sadly we announce the sudden passing of Bob Burgess on December 8, 2014 after a short brave battle with cancer. Survived by his wife, Noreen of 45 years, daughter Megan (Owen), grandchildren Kassidy and Jack, two sisters Pat and Irene and many nieces and nephews who he loved and enjoyed dearly and predeceased by his daughter Erin (2000), his three sisters and two brothers. Bob was born in Abbotsford and grew up on a farm in Aldergrove with seven siblings. He always enjoyed the farm lifestyle. His career of being a teacher was influenced by a teacher he had in high school and he went on to get his degree at SFU. His first job posting was at Abby Junior where he spent 17 years of his career under the guidance of Barry Stewart. Because of his love of sports, he gave all his time to coaching basketball and anything else that was needed. After Abby Junior he moved over to Yale Secondary where he had the opportunity to coach senior boys and work on his Masters to then become Vice Principal. His commitment to education and love of working with kids to better their lives was his passion. We know he has touched a lot of lives as we have met people (ex students) all over the world. Bob and Noreen have enjoyed retirement, spending their winters in Palm Springs but the move to a small farm in Chilliwack with his children has brought Bob back to his farming roots and he loved every moment of it, teaching his grandchildren the love of farm life. We want to thank every doctor and nurse that supported us on this difficult journey. Their care and compassion will never be forgotten. We would also like to thank family and friends for their love and support. In lieu of flowers the family has arranged for donations to be made in Bob’s memory to Erin’s scholarship fund. The scholarship is on this website https://connect.ufv.ca/giving /donate where you can make a donation if you wish.

Helen Hildebrandt passed away on December 10, 2014 in Abbotsford at the age of 82 years. She was born on March 8, 1932 in Osterwick, Ukraine. She is survived by her loving husband Henry of 63 years, children Henry (Anita) Hildebrandt, Tina (Henry) Bergen, John (Sharon) Hildebrandt, Elsie (Hildebrandt) Thiessen, Abe (Lorna) Hildebrandt, Rosie (Al) Brechin and many precious grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, and great-greatgrandhild. Helen was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, and couldn’t wait to see them. And she enjoyed any visits from her children. She was a charter member of Eben-Ezer Church, loved the Lord, and she devoted a big part of her life to volunteering at MCC, and helping others. Hard times and hard work was a part of her life, with six kids running a farm in the earlier years, then an RV business for the last part of her life before she finally got a chance to retire. She never complained and made the best of everything she ran into. In the last few years of her life, she spoke many times of going to her home in Heaven, and now there is no more suffering from illness and she is in a good place and happy. We would like to thank all the wonderful staff at the Menno Home who cared, had compassion, and took good care of her in her time there. Viewing for family and friends will be held Tuesday, December 16, 2014 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford. A Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at 2:00 pm at Eben-Ezer Mennonite Church, 2051 Windsor Street, Abbotsford. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Mennonite Central Committee www.mcccanada.ca would be appreciated. Online condolences to the family may be made at:

JENSEN SR.

LARCHER

Soren

Raymond

Soren Jensen, Sr. passed away on December 10th, 2014 surrounded by his beloved family at the age of 73. He was the heart and centre of his family and will be incredibly missed. Soren was born in Port Alberni on September 29th, 1941 and spent most of his life in Abbotsford. He was the son of Henry and Donalda Jensen (nee Bishop) - deceased - who raised their four energetic and rambunctious sons on their farm. Soren’s greatest joy was his own family - his treasured wife Judy, his son Soren Jr. (Fiona) and daughter Brigit. He will be especially missed by his “special boy”, his grandson Henry. Also grieving his loss are his brothers Clarence, Les and Frank and their families, Judy’s mother Bertha and siblings Eleanor, Bruce, Gail, Sylvia, Monty, Gwen and their families and the “boys” Fraser and Oliver. Soren’s careers were varied - and in all of them he made friends and admirers. He also volunteered countless hours for many organizations including the Abbotsford Curling Club, Abbotsford Whalers Swim club, and Hole-in-theWall. Soren was a strong and guiding force for his family always ready with a joke and a helping hand. If you were lucky enough to spend time with him you know desserts are never safe around eagles. The family would like to thank the first responders and staff at the Abbotsford Hospital, along with Dr. Keith and the nursing staff at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Abbotsford, who supported him in the last few months. A memorial service will be held at the Abbotsford Ramada, 36035 North Parallel Road on Monday, December 22nd at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Holmberg House Hospice.

The family announces with sorrow his death in Abbotsford, Saturday, December 13, 2014, at the age of 76. Son of the late Stanislaus and Eva (nee Trepanier) Larcher. Beloved husband of Ghislaine (nee Bigras) Larcher of Abbotsford. Loving father of Vivianne Frostt (Alan) from Calgary, AB and Charmaine Chretien (Luc) from Fort St. John, BC. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brothers Claude, Roland, Gerald, and his sisters Yollande Gervais, Rollande Pitura and Aline Pigeau. A Celebration of Life will be announced in early 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Raymond may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Tributes and condolences may be left at:

Gladys grew up in Val Marie, Saskatchewan before she ventured west, met her husband, and settled in Abbotsford, BC where she raised her family and lived for over 60 years.
