Manning Park Resort set to close
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Manning Park Resort is closing indefinitely on April 1 due to financial hardship. The Bowra Group took over management of the facility from Gibson Pass in 2009 when the resort went into receivership. Despite generating about $5 million in revenue annually, president David Bowra said the resort is no longer profitable, especially from April to June and October to December. “You can lose more money in those two shoulder seasons than you can make in the operating seasons,” he said. “It’s a challenging operation to

The resort is halfway through a 50-year operating agreement with the province. “Realistically without the campground, it’s very difficult to make a buck at that resort,” he said. “I think it’s going to be uneconomical. However, we’re still hopeful that someone is going to come in and pick it up.” Bowra feels the resort could be viable with a hands-on family-run approach, but the buyer would have to spend significant capital on upgrades.

Annual Battle of the Acts returns
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
The annual Battle of the Acts at Hope Secondary School gets underway next week. The competition is open to any type of musical performance, however, the talent tends to be mostly solo artists and bands. The acts that make it through auditions this week will perform in front of the judges April 2-5 in the commons room at lunch. The finals take place during a special assembly in the school gym on April 8. “It’s a chance for students to showcase their talents,” said event organizer Lenora Poulin. “All of our students are extremely supportive of the performers and the courage it takes to sing in front of your peers.

is that we get hit with a lot of people’s, more often than not, wrong assumptions about us,” Shaughnessy said. For many attendees, it has become a safe forum, a place where they’re able to discuss issues surrounding the LGBTQ community and more importantly, what it means to be who they are there. During the four days, youth, along with 20 adult volunteers, participated in five different workshops. The power and diversity workshop gave the youth a chance to talk about what they enjoy the most about their “Queer Community.” One of the most common answers from the students was the sense of belonging that they felt, which came from the shared experiences they had with people in their community. When asked what he most enjoyed about the four days, Fazzari said, “the fact that everyone is capable of bonding with each other right away and you get to learn the perspectives of others in a healthy

environment.” Fazzari is the co-president of Hope Secondary’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) and the other students who attended from Hope are all members of the lunchtime club. At the beginning of 2012, the GSA was created by a small group of students who were feeling bullied because of their sexual orientation. These students felt having an inclusive club would help them get away from the prejudice that they were being faced with daily. “It exists to be a safe place for LGBTQ kids and allies to get together and prove that there is such a thing as a confidential space for people to come out,” said Fazzari, adding that many of the members felt alienated by their classmates and the GSA provided an inclusive refuge for them. Since it’s creation, the GSA has made a difference in the atmosphere at the local high school. Together, they have successfully helped add LGBTQ-friendly language to the school district’s anti-bullying

policy, helped in Anti-Bullying Day and have collaborated with the Tea Club to hold social events. They also plan to reach out to others who identify as LGBTQ in Hope, as a way to create a more prevalent “Queer Community” in the town. One of the club’s most valuable assets is their allies, who are often peers, teachers, family and community members. Half of the GSA are considered allies too. “Allies are the most important people to have around during difficult times for queer youth. You know that they’re always there to love and support you, even in your worst moments,” explained Fazzari. “The best feeling is knowing that there’s always someone, whether it’s in your school or around the community, who will accept you for who you are because really, we’re all allies in whatever struggle we’re going through. The common denominator here is that no matter what we’re all humans and we all deserve to be loved.”

Imagine sitting in a room with 70 people and realizing they deal with the same struggles you do everyday. Students from Hope Secondary School, including Isabella Dagnino, Leo Clark and Patrick Fazarri, experienced this while attending the third annual C.A.L.L. Out Vancouver Youth Leadership Conference from March 19 to 22. The four-day retreat was sponsored by Vancouver Coastal Health for 50 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ) youth from across British Columbia. The conference was originally developed to be a space where youth can be who they are without the intolerance that many of them are subjected to at school. One way that students expressed themselves was through clothing. “Many people make attending events such as these their opportunity to wear things that they wouldn’t necessarily feel comfortable wearing at school in terms of gender expression,” said Kyle Shaughnessy, who organized the event and has been to Hope Secondary on two occasions, once to address the students and the second to address community members. Shaughnessy also stressed that not trying to fix anyone was crucial to the conference’s atmosphere. He explained, “don’t try to fix somebody as if, there is something wrong with them. It’s a really negative-based thing to assume and that a) it’s your job to do anything and b) that there’s something wrong with them.” For a lot of the youth, the retreat has become more than just an expressive setting for them. “Something that I think a lot of us face when we’re not in spaces such as this conference

One dead in Highway 7 crash
Police have yet to release the name of the driver of a Dodge minivan that crashed headon into a semi truck trailer on Lougheed Highway east of Agassiz last Thursday. Both vehicles burst into flames on impact. The driver of the truck, a 59-year-old man out of Mission, was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the minivan was pronounced
dead at the scene. The incident occurred just after 1:30 p.m. on a stretch of highway 500 meters east of the intersection with Waleach Road. Witnesses say the eastbound minivan strayed across the centre line and into the path of the Peterbuilt semi, loaded with canola seed. Preliminary investigation reveals that the road surface was wet and the sky overcast.

Police have not released the name of the driver who died in a fiery collision near Agassiz last Thursday.
However, police say weather conditions do not appear to have been factors to this collision.
Driver inattention and mechanical issues have not been ruled out by the investigators.
The Fraser Valley Traffic Services, the Office of the Provincial Coroner and the Integrated Analyst and Reconstructionist Section are continuing their investigations. Anyone who may have witnessed this collision and not yet spoken to the police, is asked to contact the lead investigator Const. Lee Keane of the Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-702-4039.

Four men have been arrested in Hope after fraudulent credit cards were used at Cooper’s Foods. In early March, police received a complaint from the store that two men had allegedly purchased items with fraudulent credit cards. Photographs from surveillance cameras were then circulated around the local RCMP detachment.
On March 15, a Cooper’s Foods employee informed police that the same men had returned and when confronted, fled the store on foot. “One of our officers saw a man matching the description running towards Hope Auto Body and when he approached the area, a van took off onto Old Hope Princeton Way,” said Staff Sgt. Suki Manj. “At the same, an officer was coming the other direction, he turned

Excalibur Party created in time for May election Kevin Mills Black Press
An Abbotsford man has created a new political party that bases some of its values on an ancient idea. Michael Halliday named his new entity the B.C. Excalibur Party, and he uses the name and image of the legendary magical sword yielded by King Arthur. The sword logo, which includes the words truth, honour and justice, is a symbol of what his party stands for. “It (Excalibur) was a symbol that united the country and gave them a golden age … at a time when things were falling apart,” said Halliday. He feels it is a fitting analogy for today’s society, which he said is collapsing. Halliday said he made the decision to create the new party after talking to voters. About 85 per cent of the people he spoke to said they either weren’t going to vote in the May election or didn’t know what party to support. “People are so disgruntled with the parties out there right now that we

need something new and different and that’s what the Excalibur Party is.” While he knows it’s a late start for his party, Halliday said he is trying to attract people who are willing to run as candidates. So far he has about eight people who are interested, though none has officially confirmed. “I want to run the full slate of candidates; that’s my goal.” He admits that will be difficult to attain. Halliday ran for office in the 2009 B.C. election as an independent in the riding Vancouver- False Creek. He plans to run this
year in Chilliwack, noting that his “power base is more in Chilliwack.” Using the name Excalibur has prompted some people to ask Halliday if he’s serious about politics or just joking around. He understands that concern. “It is for real and there is that problem, but at the same time it’s a name that people instantly recognize and understand and some people instantly know what it is and I get real strong reactions with the symbolism of it,” he said.

a job, but wonderful results were made in masks, books, wall hangings, cards, bowls and sculptures. The workshop participants didn’t have to imitate the technique of Pablo Picasso, ancient Egyptians, or artists of the Far and Middle East while working with paper mache or collage. They followed their own expression while enjoying the art form with new friends. The creative exhibit poster by Diane Ferguson can be seen in various Hope shops and restaurants.

Family law aims to prevent disputes
Tom Fletcher Black Press
A major overhaul of B.C.’s family law is now in force, aimed at reducing disputes over shared parenting responsibilities and division of property when couples split up. The Family Law Act was passed in 2011 with support from both the B.C. Liberal government and the NDP opposition. It took effect March 18. One of the main changes is extending property division rules of marriage to unmarried couples who have lived together in a “marriage-like relationship” for at least two years. Those rules mean property acquired during a relationship is divided equally, unless the couple sign an agreement to split assets differently. Debts accumulated during the relationship must also
be shared, including mortgages, loans from family members, credit card and income tax debt. As with a divorce, inheritances and property brought into the relationship by each partner are not shared. Attorney General Shirley Bond introduced the changes as a way to keep family breakups out of court, and to take the “win-lose” terminology out of parenting. The traditional terms, “custody” and “access” of children, have been dropped from the Family Law Act, replaced by “parental responsibilities,” “parenting time” and “guardianship.” The new act also makes it an offence for one parent to violate an agreed schedule for shared parenting. The law also requires parents who wish to relocate to give 60 days’ notice to those authorized to
have contact with children. That applies whether the children are involved in the relocation or not. When the changes were debated in the legislature, NDP justice critic Leonard Krog spoke in support, noting that B.C. has one of the highest levels of family disputes in Canada. “If we can keep people out of court, if we can let them settle their affairs in a more friendly and amicable way, then this is all to the good,” Krog said. “It means that people can get on with their lives. It will mean less emotional damage to children.” Details of the new rules and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the B.C. government website at www.justicebc.ca/en/fam/. The site also has contact information for family justice centres that offer counselling at no charge.

No remorse for actions
The fact that convicted drunk driver and child-killer Carol Berner applied to the Supreme Court of Canada to appeal her sentence should come as no surprise. Berner was found guilty in July 2010 of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, after losing control of her car on a Delta street, striking and killing four-year-old Alexa Middelaer and seriously injuring her aunt. While the Middelaer family had sought at least a 10-year sentence for Berner, crown prosecutors had hoped for three to five. However, the judge decided Berner regretted her actions and was unlikely to reoffend. She was given a two-and-a-half year sentence. But as Berner’s actions now clearly show, the only thing she regrets is getting caught. Her constant attempts to reduce an already lenient sentence are proof she takes no responsibility for her actions. What’s worse, is that for the Middelaer family, who want nothing more than to move on with their lives, they must relive the pain and sorrow of losing their daughter every time Berner goes before the courts. Of course Berner is entitled to due process, and it is her right to launch this appeal. However, given the public apology Berner gave to the Middelaer family during her sentencing, her continued appeals constitute a slap in the face. As Middelaer’s mother said, at the end of the day there’s a little girl who’s dead and she should be in Grade 4 right now. But how many more children will die before the issue of drunk driving is taken seriously? In 2008, the year Berner killed Alexa Middelaer, there were 101 deaths in B.C. from alcohol-related automobile crashes. How are we prevent future tragedies, if those who commit them know they will receive a mere slap on the wrist? What deterrent is there? Berner clearly has no remorse for actions, and has learned nothing from this tragic episode. - Black Press
B.C. Views
Ottawa takes lead on training
Tom Fletcher The B.C. election campaign that’s about to get underway will feature lots of talk about skills training. It will be everyone’s top priority, along with a dozen other top priorities. But since elections are no time to deal with serious issues, don’t expect much frank discussion about ways to redirect our increasingly soft, urban society toward useful work. Somebody might be offended. The B.C. Liberals see lots of skilled, technical jobs on the horizon, but they cut their skills training budget and many of their MLAs are also looking at a career change. The B.C. school system,
OFFICE HOURS Mon.-Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
like that of other provinces, still pushes kids to university programs that lead to coffee-serving jobs and the need for another round of training. This has been going on since the 1970s, and it’s not confined to B.C. The B.C. NDP apparently expects to coast to victory with the same empty rhetoric about “income inequality” and student debt that they’ve been using for years. Their only discernible intent is to return control over how many apprentices can be on a job site to industrial unions, which severely restrict it, squeezing out small business. This team’s ideas are mostly left over from the last industrial revolution. Fortunately there is a midterm federal government that has acted. Last week’s federal budget launches new programs that the

next B.C. government will have to go along with. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government didn’t claw back post-secondary funds from B.C. and other inept provinces, as some had feared. What we got from Ottawa was social engineering, Conservative style. The centrepiece is the “Canada Job Grant,” a $5,000 grant to employers willing to match it and train an unemployed person. To qualify, the province has to match as well, for a total $15,000 commitment to one worker who will have a job to go to. Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay was one of the Conservatives out to promote the budget. She said when the Canada Job Grant is fully rolled out, it will fund training for 130,000 people a year. Some will be young people, but there will also be older workers

whose skills need upgrading. “If they’re willing to look at the jobs that are available and understand that that’s their best shot at making a living and being able to support their own families some day, we want to be sure that the opportunities are there,” Findlay said. The difference is that it has to be what an employer needs, not what the student might prefer. It’s a public-private partnership, as we have seen with modern public works. Findlay acknowledged that even with a big push on training, Canada will still need to import foreign workers. In B.C. we are bracing for an unprecedented resource boom, much of it in the B.C. Interior and north. That’s one reason for a $241 million increase over five years to the federal Income Assistance Program for aboriginal

reserves. The new money is available only if the community leadership commits to a mandatory training component. They didn’t call it Idle No More, but that’s the gist of it. Of course, no worker or province or band council is required to participate. They have the option to leave the federal money on the table. But the NDP should note that the Canada Job Grant applies to union-run apprenticeship schools as well as those in community colleges and technical institutes. Saying no isn’t much of a choice. Whatever grand promises the B.C. Liberals and NDP have written into their yet-to-be-released election platforms, they will need to find the money to participate.

Letters Some voters out of touch with reality Almost a year ago, I was canvassing in downtown Hope for Gwen O’Mahony, your NDP candidate. I came up to a house where an older man answered the door. As soon as he realized that I was there on behalf of the NDP, he screamed at me and uttered several comments. He first said that he had worked hard all his life and had personally
built his house. He then went on to claim that “I” was a welfare bum, who had never worked a day in my life. He claimed that “all NDPers” were useless bums who only wanted to perpetuate the welfare mentality for my “fellow bums.” I told him that he knew nothing about me and his comments could not be further from the truth. I had also worked hard all my life and had
never in my 68 years asked for one penny from welfare. He of course did not want to hear anything I said and I left, not wanting to waste one more minute of my time with him. This man is indicative of the minority of ill-informed people who carry prejudices about the political system in Canada that are simply very wrong. It amazes me that a person can live a full life and still be so ignorant of what
really is going on in Canada. Fortunately, as far as Hope is concerned, this man is in the very small minority. We all know that Gwen swept every single poll in Hope and will probably do so again. This poor man needs to examine the realities and come to a better examination of what is truly going on in Hope and the rest of the Fraser Valley. Dick Harrington
Seniors’ driving statistics are complicated
The crash risk for older drivers is complicated – no one statistic can tell this story on its own. On the positive side, crash volumes for senior drivers in B.C. are among the lowest of all age groups. This is due to a combination of factors, including years of experience seniors have behind the wheel and the fact that they tend to drive less than younger drivers. However, research also indicates that older drivers tend to have high crash rates per kilometre driven. When comparing crashes per ki-
lometre driven, the crash rate for drivers aged 75 or over was found to be similar to the crash rate for new drivers, aged 16-24. This means that while senior drivers may drive less, they’re more at risk when they do so. It is also important to clarify ICBC’s role in the process of reexaminations for drivers aged 80 and over. The decision on whether a senior is allowed to continue to drive is not ours. The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles regu-
lates drivers and makes the decision based on information provided by doctors and other healthcare professionals, police, and family members, combined with the driver’s history. The province triggers an automatic medical at age 80 and every two years after that. Because natural age-related conditions can impact someone’s driving, medical exams are conducted by those best qualified to determine physical and cognitive needs – medical professionals. They then
make driver fitness referrals as necessary. ICBC’s role in this process is to support our customers any way we can. We educate drivers and help them through what we know is a stressful time. We understand that driving plays an important part in maintaining an independent lifestyle and that most people want to keep driving as long as possible. Joy Van Helvoirt, Manager, Driver Licensing Provincial Programs, ICBC
Dissolving Elders group would have consequences Dissolve the Coqualeetza Elder Group? An annual allotment of $4,000? Why some of our chiefs and band administrators receive twice that amount per month. My question and I’m sure every hardworking taxpayer would insist on knowing, how can he or she justify that massive salary, when the average wage is $40,000
to $50,000 per year? There are very few chiefs that deserve even half that amount. Most have staff that do all the work, while he or she travels to pricey destinations, such as Scottsdale, Ariz., Princeville Kauai, Hawaii and the list gone on. Arizona is open to giving out information on individuals. Why should this be the reason
for dissolving the most important group of elders in our country. This letter is by me, Anna Chapman-Maguire, Hereditary Chief since 1976 — I haven’t signed away title. I’m alive and well. I’m not paid. I feel in good conscience the chiefs have to show some backbone and see to it that all programs involving elders, children and the
Bizarre democracy may repeat itself this year There’s much anticipation as to the “ethnic-voter” scandal effects on the B.C. Liberals’ chances in the imminent provincial election. Such a question may still be a little too presumptive, and a little too hasty – although I personally hope that the Liberals are finally thrown out of office. One must take note that the provincial NDP had in fact won the 1996 provincial election with a smaller
percentage of votes (by about three points) than that of the then-still-Opposition B.C. Liberals. How is such an injustice within “democracy” possible? The NDP won a large majority of their seats mostly with a far slimmer margin than the riding wins by the Liberals. Bizarre? Yes. Impossible to re-occur in the upcoming election? Not at all.

The Hope Station House was buzzing with activity on Friday night at the community celebration of World Water Day. More than 50 people attended the free event, which featured information tables and displays, a homemade dinner and a diverse mix of “watery” openmic performances that celebrated the benefits of local water systems while identifying threats that risk depleting the natural resource. “Hopefully, this will be the first of many events held at the Hope Station House. This historic building is a real jewel and has the potential to become a true meeting centerpiece for the community of Hope,” said Sharlene Harrison-Hinds, one of event organizers. “The event was so successful because people care so much about the rivers, lakes and streams in the unique area surrounding Hope. But the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion proposal, large-scale gravel mining and urban growth all threaten our home waters.” Chilliwack-Hop e MLA Gwen O’Mahony and Green Party candidate Kim Reimer were among the attendees at the event. Co-hosted by the WaterWealth Project, the community celebration provided an opportunity for people to hear various speakers talk about the current situation of water in the Fraser Valley. Many issues were addressed, such as salmon farming and the recent chlorination of Chilliwack’s water. “Water is truly the basis of all our lives. We must become good stewards of our water wealth or pay the most dire consequences,” said Harrison-Hinds. “This is a chance for everyone to become active in protecting and defending our waters.” The event was made possible through donations from local businesses Jungle Juice, EricaPress, Cooper’s Foods, Buy & Save, and Dutchies Bakery.

Community Community developer chosen for seniors program Lucie Honey-Ray has been chosen by the United Way of the Fraser Valley as the community developer for the Better at Home program in Hope. She will assess existing senior’s services in Hope, Sunshine Valley and the Fraser Canyon, as well as meet with service providers and seniors in the communities. Through this process, Honey-Ray, with community in-
put, will identify a lead agency to provide most of the services. The program is designed to help seniors maintain their independence at home. Projects are for non-medical services such as light housekeeping, grocery shopping, simple home repairs, transportation to appointments, friendly visiting, snow shovelling or light yard work. The lead agency will recruit volunteers
to provide some of the services, while other services such as housekeeping and light yard work will likely be contracted to the private sector. “We hope that the health ministry will see that the investments made in assisting seniors maintain their independence will realize significant savings to health care,” said Wayne Green, executive director of United Way of
the Fraser Valley. “It would be a win-win for seniors and the provincial taxpayers.” The Better at Home program is developed in partnership with United Way of the Lower Mainland and the provincial government. It is funded for three years. To get involved in the program, contact Honey-Ray at 1-604-807-2422 or lhoneyray@ gmail.com.

Sports Boston Bar bowlers headed to provincials
Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Canyon Lanes came within a pin of sending two teams to the BC 55+ bowling championships. In 2011, it was the men’s team that came up short and the women who went on to win the BC title and a trip to Cambridge Ontario, where they finished in first place. This year, Betty Davidson, Lillian Forman and Leslie Bowman finished second in their zone playdowns at Chillibowl Lanes in Chilliwack on March 19. “The women were beaten by just one ball,” said Lloyd Forman, who was on the winning men’s team that will be heading to the BC 55+ May 15 playdowns in Cranbrook. Each year, registered bowlers in 55+ leagues are welcome to compete in regional, then provincial and national five-pin bowling playdowns. The challenge isn’t to get the highest score — but the best score over average for a three-player team. Averages are established over a year of league bowling, said Lloyd. Canyon Lanes had an in-house tournament and the top three males and females were sent on to the zone playdowns. In 2011, the women had a magical day at the zone playdowns. This time, it was the men’s turn. They were bowling against two Chilliwack teams, two from Abbotsford and a threesome from Maple Ridge. “Gord Paquette is a retired hard rock miner and he moved here about eight years ago and has been bowling ever since,” said Lloyd, who is director of Area A for the Fraser Valley Regional District. “He has an average of 147. “Sid Hambly spent his career as a tradesman in the sawmill and he’s been bowling ever since the lanes opened,” said Lloyd. “He’s

got an average of 192. “I don’t recall their scores — but we were all over our averages at Chilliwack. We beat the next-best team, from Chilliwack, by about 150 points [over average].” Balance and aim are important aspects of the game — but the mental part is also key, said Lloyd. “I went to a funeral for my niece in Kamloops on the day before and with all that had been going on, I decided to clear my mind and just bowl,” he said. “My average is 183 and I

Senior Games and
55+ national championships over the years — and the four-alley facility has become a focal point for the community since it was opened on June 1, 1991. “I’d say that in the last seven years, we’ve been to the Canadian championships at least five times, for the men or the women,” said Lloyd. “A couple of years, both teams have gone. “I think part of the reason for our success is the smalltown atmosphere of our club,” he said. “We’re like a family and we’re happy for
the other players when they do well. Lloyd has been bowling in Boston Bar for the past 20 years but he said he got his first taste of the game about 60 years ago, when he was growing up on the prairies. “I lived in the Qu’Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan and I used to play hockey when I was a teen. We had to catch the train in Bethune to go to our games — and while we were waiting for the train, we’d go in and do some bowling.”

BRULE, Jeannine Dolosa (nee Cote) May 29, 1924 March 17, 2013 With deep sadness Jeannine gave her last breath on Sunday, March 17. She is asleep in death awaiting the promised resurrection she believed in from the Bible. She was predeceased by her daughter (1946) and her loving husband, John (2004). She leaves her sons: Roger, Maurice (Barbara), grandchildren: Michel (Kimberly), Marielle (Roy), Marc (Xenia) and Monique (David), great grandsons: Dayton, Levi and Lincoln and many nieces and nephews who will miss her. Jeannine Cote born in Quebec learned how to be frugal and this attribute could be seen in her lifestyle. She knew the value of a dollar. In 1944 she married John, had a daughter in 1945, who died 6 months later in 1946. Roger was born in 1946 and at six months old he got very sick from an inoculation which left him challenged and as such Jeannine had to look after his life long needs. In 1947 she had another son Maurice. Life revolved around Roger and she planned her activities on this premise. In 1951 John, Jeannine, Roger and Maurice packed up and moved west settling in Hope. In 1961 they moved to Silver Creek and resided there until 2008 when she got sick, was taken to hospital and then was transferred to the Fraser Hope Lodge. Towards the end, the Parkinson’s disease caused complications that shortened her life. The people who encountered her found her engaging with her bright personality. Her heartfelt laugh was contagious and engaging. Her involvement with her religion could be seen with her going to people’s homes to talk about her conviction and hope for the Bible’s promised new world. Jeannine will be greatly missed. Services will be held March 30, 2013 at 2:00 pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. WE’RE ON THE WEB w w w.bcclassified.com
CHURCH, Mollie, 89, passed away peacefully at Peace Arch Hospital on March 18. She was born in Cannington Manor, Saskatchewan, the oldest child of Ed and Doris Maher. When her parents moved to White Rock in the 1940’s Mollie wasn’t far behind. In 1947 she married Jack Church a Navy sailor she met before leaving Saskatchewan. Together with their daughter they spent 20 years in California before returning to this area to be closer to their families. Mollie worked in banking for most of her working years which may explain why her business affairs are perfectly in order. With her mild temperament, loud laugh and sassy sense of humour Mollie maintained many connections. She played bridge with a passion, volunteered with the Peace Arch Auxiliary, the Stroke Club, the Osteoporosis group, CWL, ran her condo association for many years and stayed in regular touch with her banking friends. She always worked efficiently, without fanfare and got the job done. Mollie was dearly loved and will be sadly missed by her daughter Marcia and son-inlaw Dale Swanson, granddaughters Shayla (Matt Parks) and Rayna (Connor Donnelly), brother Bill Maher, niece Cheri Sutherland, nephew Alex Lagasse, brother-in-law Larry Church, as well as cousins Nora Zelter, Barb and Brian Haynen, Madge and Albert Cantin, Elaine Jensen and many other loving relatives and friends . A heartfelt thank you to the kind and capable nursing staff at the Peace Arch Hospital and Morgan Place. Also, thank you to family and friends for the very attentive support during all of Mollie’s trials and tribulations. Unfortunately, we missed the Peace Arch News deadline to announce the funeral. It was held on Friday, March 22 at the Star of the Sea Catholic Church in White Rock. If interested, please consider a donation to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522
