Pub owner not ready to tap out District House fights back against liquor control penalty BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

politics meant local issues were forgotten by MLAs in Victoria. “Chilliwack no longer has a voice in Victoria and that isn’t good enough for me,” she said. Chilliwack-Hope BC Liberal candidate Laurie Throness, who lost to O’Mahony in 2012, said a year ago he was talking about the same issues with some of the same people. Throness said the Liberal government “has managed the economy very well” and pointed to the party’s policy to pursue liquefied natural gas as a means to pay off the debt. He also warned against splitting the vote on the right, which could lead to an NDP victory.

he owner of a new downtown Chilliwack pub is frustrated that the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) has forced him to close his doors this weekend due to what he says is a clerical error. Brad Stuart has been running the District Public House at Five Corners since last summer, when craft beer lovers and downtown supporters applauded the new business at the long-vacant location. But after months of back and forth with EB IRST the LCLB in an attempt to get First reported on the liquor licence chilliwacktimes.com transferred to his name, Stuart says he is now being forced to close April 26, 27 and 28 as a penalty for serving alcohol in a prohibited area of the pub. “The financial impact is about two months of profit,” Stuart told the Times Monday. “But it’s not even just me. One of my security guys is unemployed; the only income he has for his wife and three kids is these three days. There are single moms in here, students going back to school. They are penalizing not only me but other people just trying to make a living.” The issue came about because the previous owner, Tony Lecce,

All five of those running in Chilliwack and all three for Chilliwack-Hope were at the lunch-time meeting held at the Best Western. In opening remarks, BC Conservative (BCCP) candidate for Chilliwack-Hope Michael Henshall got the crowd’s attention with a ball-and-chain prop attached to a board adorned with the number

John Martin, BC Liberal candidate for Chilliwack, brought up the “elephant in the room:” his running for the BC Conservatives in the 2012 Chilliwack-Hope byelection, during which “Gwen [O’Mahony] basically kicked our butts.” From that byelection loss Martin said he learned what happens when the vote on the right is split.

“When the non-NDP vote is pursued by more than one party, the NDP is more than likely to win,” he warned. O’Mahony, too, looked back at the byelection, during which she said there was a lot of fear-mongering about what an NDP win would mean for Chilliwack-Hope. “And the sky didn’t fall,” she said. “You woke up the next day to a heck of a hard-working MLA.” Chilliwack Green Party candidate Kim Reimer said status quo party

BCCP candidate Michael Henshall plays The Election Race Friday with daughters Naomi (left) and Hannah.

Who says politics isn’t a game?

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

unning for elected office can be an emotional and physical drain that requires support from employers, friends and family. Chilliwack-Hope BC Conservative (BCCP) candidate Michael Henshall not only has that support, but his young daughters have taken it a step further. Naomi, 12, and Hannah Henshall, 11, created a non-partisan board game called The Election Race designed to teach players a little about the political process while raising funds for dad’s campaign too. The girls were at the opening of the campaign office Henshall shares with Chilliwack BCCP candidate Chad Eros, who also has solid support from his wife and nine children. “I’m pretty proud of them both,”

The Henshalls had the board Henshall said. “They are both very game professionally printed and it artistic and creative.” The board game has players comes with five playing pieces and select one of five tokens: NDP, Lib- one die.

he election signs go up and vandals smash ‘em down. It’s routine for veteran campaigners to spend a significant portion of time not only erecting signs around ridings but repairing those that have been vandalized. With the writ dropping last Tuesday, it didn’t take long as a number of NDP and Liberal signs were down or damaged. On Friday evening, two Chilliwack NDP candidate Patti MacAhonic signs were down at Townsend Park and at the intersection of Evans and Knight roads. Further south into the Chilliwack-Hope electoral district, NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony’s sign at the c o r n e r o f Ty s o n and South Sumas was spray-painted with male genitalia. A Liberal campaigner said Laurie Throness’s sign right next to O’Mahony’s was hit with the same graffiti but was fixed by volunteers. There was also some question whether or not at least one of MacAhonic’s signs was simply erected improperly. BC Conservative (BCCP) candidate Chad Eros had a message for the NDP candidate on Twitter: “I am putting your signs up when I see they are knocked down. You should know many of them are staked in only a few inches.” The Conservatives told theTimes they hadn’t had any sign damage yet, which contrasts to a year ago, when then-BCCP candidate John Martin had nearly all his signs at major intersections destroyed on one night in April. The Throness campaign also reported damage to campaign signs last year. Elections BC says that all vandalism to election signs should be reported to police and/ or city hall. Sign damage is not an Elections Act violation but is a bylaw infraction.

Showing her ‘green heart’ Green Party candidate Kim Reimer says she can’t be concerned about stealing votes away from the NDP

taken a stance on this,” he told the Times. “The party line gives me no comfort.” The NDP has been accused of sitting on the fence with regards to other environmental issues too. The party came out strongly against the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline in Northern B.C. but for over a year took no stance on Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project through the Lower Mainland, including Chilliwack. That changed Monday as NDP

leader Adrian Dix told reporters in Kamloops that he would not support Kinder Morgan’s proposal. But just as the BC Liberals are scared of the BC Conservatives splitting the vote on the right, some in the NDP are taking notice of Greens and appear to be worried about the same on the left. One NDP supporter tweeted on Friday that the the Greens have been “inactive between elections while endangered species habitat in Chilliwack River Valley is wiped out.” Reimer responded that she is new to the party and the political process, and that she’s not going anywhere. “I’m going to make sure that changes and that Greens are going to be present from now on,” she said. Asked if she was concerned about about taking votes from a party seen as more eco-friendly than the Liberals—the NDP—Reimer said it was about democracy. “I am primarily here for Chilliwack,” she said. “I think, of all the candidates, I have the most freedom and ability to represent this community, and I think that we need that back in the legislature.” Just three days after the office o p e n i n g o n F r i d a y, R e i m e r announced the campaign office had moved a block east to 46220A Yale Rd, with more space “to accommodate more people and do more work.” In 2009, Green candidates finished fourth in both ridings, taking eight per cent of the vote in Chilliwack and six per cent in ChilliwackHope.

‘New’ always excites me

here was a time when I would have been excited about the prospect of an election, especially one that might mean a change in government. I’ve always been a sucker for new people being in charge. I remember being 15 and watching the lead-up to the 2000 American election. I knew little about the various parties or politicians, but I did know Al Gore’s name, and I knew that he would continue, more or less, to build on the legacy of Bill Clinton. And Clinton had been around half my life. I didn’t know if his legacy was good or bad. All I knew was: yawwwwwn. The other guy, whoever he was, was new. OK, his name rang a bell, but he promised to bring a fresh Texas style. So I kind of cheered for him. Would I have voted for the guy? Probably not. Definitely not if I was paying any sort of actual attention to the race. But when the ballots were counted (and counted again), I wasn’t unhappy to hear a new name after the word “president.” Of course, George W. Bush is now Exhibit 101 about why a person should actually pay attention to the platforms and personalities of politicians. The reporter in me still likes to see new people come to the fore.

TYLER OLSEN

Win,Lose orTy But after seven years or so of talking to politicians, that same guy has seen enough to lose a lot of interest in political races. It’s not that I think our politicians are bad people; I think they all want what’s best for British Columbia. But I’m unconvinced that an NDP-governed province would look much different from a Liberal-governed one. Yes, the NDP is more likely to put more money into social services. And the Liberals are more likely to cut taxes. But, by and large, I don’t believe that the casual observer won’t be able to tell, three years from now, which party is in power. In a way, that’s a compliment for both parties, even if they would fiercely dispute the point. But for the small masochistic part of me that once secretly cheered for Bush just because he was new, it’s a little disappointing. I do have other options, though. A BC Conservative or a Green

government—or even just a local MLA from either of those two parties—would be new and exciting-ish. But the Greens are almost a little too responsible about the environment, while the Conservatives seem a lot like certain BC Liberals. Which brings us around to the Excalibur Party. I have tried to imagine a British Columbia governed by a party that quotes liberally from the legend of King Arthur. I can’t. It blows my mind. Imagine the headline possibilities! The puns! The dress code! Would the premier carry a sword around? That would be awesome. Would the cabinet assemble around a round table? Could we call the legislature Camelot? The possibilities are endless and fascinating to consider. OK, the Excalibur Party isn’t going to form a government: they’re only running five candidates, according to their website. But the novelty-fiend inside me is quietly hoping Chilliwack makes headlines by electing Michael Halliday the first Excalibur Party MLA. Whether I’ll actually vote for the party, I’m still undecided. I figure I’ll give the NDP, BC Liberals, BC Conservatives and Greens another few weeks to persuade me to mark an X, instead of a sword on my ballot.

.C. politics has been termed a “blood sport,” and election campaign trails are often said to be littered with the “bodies” of unsuccessful politicians. But those are figurative expressions— metaphors for events in which the blood is only visible to those who live and breathe politics, and the bodies strewn about get up and walk again, although sometimes never again in the paths of politics. Now that the writ has dropped and the election campaigns are officially underway, we expect the candidates to come out of their corners swinging. We expect them to hit hard and land some solid blows against their opponents. We expect them to fight to win. But we also expect them keep the dirt on the floor of the arena, where it belongs. We want a good, hard, clean fight. Just as in boxing. We want to be able to appreciate the battle, to suss out the strategies, and to learn each combatant’s strong and weak points. Because when this month-long contest has run its course, we’re going to have to choose one of them to get into the ring in Victoria and fight on our behalf for the next four years. We want the best candidate for the big job that lies ahead. We don’t want a light-weight. We want someone with strength and stamina, with the condition required to go the long haul. And we want someone who will represent us the way we would want to represent ourselves: with grit, determination and a deep sense of fair play. Politicians, like boxers, may fall down occasionally. Not all of the candidates will win. That’s part of the game. As long as they keep it clean, they deserve our respect for taking their best shot, and for offering us their service.

Candidates can’t even target voters

Editor: I have recently received a number of hand-delivered flyers from some of the major political parties asking me to elect their representatives. In many cases these flyers are for candidates who are not even running in my riding. Similarly, I have seen many signs in my riding that are also for candidates for other ridings. My question is: If these parties can’t manage my money to properly target their election spending, how can I trust them with my money if they become the government? David Westcott Chilliwack

Provincially, with the NDP in power, 1972 to 1975 and 1991 to 1996 the economy tanked. Alan Wilden Chilliwack

FOOD MATTERS PLANTING TIME The University of The Fraser Valley Theatre department presents the

18th Annual Directors’ Theatre Festival Featuring a cornucopia of 25 one act plays — performed and directed by some of the most talented post-secondary theatre students in BC.

PUB, from page 1 took the elevated area at the front of the pub out of the liquor licence area during the four-month stint when The Vault had exotic dancers. Stuart said the area in question was inside the “red zone”—where alcohol is allowed—in every floor plan he has seen. “We were never issued anything from the province showing us this was an unlicensed area and we still have not seen those d ra w i n g s t o d a t e,” Stuart said in a Facebook post about the EB IRST issue. First reported on Since chilliwacktimes.com that posting on Saturday about the closure this weekend, the pub has received a lot of support, including talk of a Cash Mob visit for the day after the closure. Stuart said he has also received private messages from others in Chilliwack with liquor primary licences who say they’ve had years of trouble from the local LCLB inspector. Others told him he shouldn’t be going public for fear of reprisals. “This fear factor from business people—they are just trying to run a business and this woman can shut them down,” he said. A spokesperson from the LCLB was unavailable to comment before going to press.

Smyl mining prospect camp BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ith the Chilliwack Chiefs in full rebuilding mode and another familiar face heading to an American university, the junior hockey club held its annual spring camp last weekend. More than half of last year’s team has either aged out of junior hockey or will be playing university hockey in the upcoming season (or both). The latter’s ranks grew by one earlier this month when Spencer Graboski announced that he had committed to play for Sacred Heart University next year. That has Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl looking at a long summer. “We do have a hell of a lot of work to do,” he told theTimes. But that also creates more opportunities for attendees of the camp, which

began Friday and saw eight teams play games over three days. “We need to replace upwards of 13 kids this year,” Smyl said. Not all of those will come from last weekend’s camp—Smyl and other team personnel will look and travel far and wide to land players. But the camp gives the team the ability to both gauge players’ ability, while also indicating the prospects’ interest in becoming a Chief. Smyl said he was impressed with both the skills and character of some of the prospects at the camp. Among his team’s most important needs is a goaltender who can share duties with returnee Josh Halpenny next year. “We did have some kids step up and play really well,” said Smyl. He specifically mentioned R.J. Bruni, but cautioned that no decisions have been made. “Do we have an answer for the other condition at this point? I mean it’s

April. A lot of things will change by the time August comes around.” Bruni, the son of Chiefs goaltending coach Rob Bruni, is just one of several half-dozen familiar names— including Plevy, Fortems, Babych and Cochrane—to appear on the list of

attendees of last weekend’s camp and belong to relatives of current or former Chiefs. Smyl said he doesn’t go out of his way to recruit sons and younger brothers into the “Chiefs Family.” Rather, he sees it as a trickle-down effect of coaching players who have enjoyed their time in Chilliwack. There was another familiar name being evaluated at camp: Cam Smyl, son of Harvey. It was the second spring camp for Cam, who played midget hockey in Chilliwack. Harvey said his son’s evaluation and exit interview is left to his staff. “It’s probably a little more difficult on our staff, in terms of the criticism, but I encourage them to have dialogue because it’s important for Cam to understand what’s needed for him to develop and be the best player he can be,” he said. “It is a little different, but he doesn’t get treated any different.”

rain. The park sits near the Fraser River and outside the dike systems that protects Chilliwack. Flooding and a rainy spring in 2012 delayed the park’s construction. After drying last summer, the water returned during the winter; standing water was still present on track during the grand opening and use was limited to a gravel trail around the exterior of the park. Crews used torches to manually dry the track to the sand jump prior to the opening. That jump, however, drew a rave review from rider Ben Glassen, who said it’s unique and will allow riders to try new tricks in a safe way. He said its inclusion in a public bike park is a product of enlightened thinking. “Having it in a public bike park is really forward thinking.” Much of the dirt used for the jumps came from the deconstructed Sardis Humps, which were built by riders but levelled because of liability concerns. “This is how you make it safe,” Glassen said.

fter flooding and standing water plagued its construction, it was only fitting that soggy conditions put a damper on Saturday’s grand opening of the Fraser Valley Regional District’s Island 22 bike park. The park opened Saturday with a ribbon-cutting celebration, after which bikers demonstrated the park’s oneof-a-kind sand jump, which allows riders to try big tricks onto a forgiving ramp made of sand. With dozens of local bike riders of various ages on hand, Jay Hoots—whose company was responsible for building the park—said the opening showed the public’s appetite for such a facility. “This is a real good indication that things are alive and well for biking in Chilliwack,” Hoots told the Times. “It’s been a complicated build, so it’s really nice.” Speaking during the opening, Hoots implored riders to wear helmets and to give the park some time to dry after

CHLORINE IN YOUR WATER

Q & A WITH ANDY FROM

AJ PUMPS

Don't like the taste or smell of your water? Here's what you can do about chlorination.

Q. How can I get rid of it?

A. Chlorine can be removed several ways....boiling the water is one way but tedious. Evaporation works but takes time, distillation is another method. The easiest way is with filtration.

Q. Can I just put a filter on my tap?

A. The filter can go on your whole house or individual taps or on your jug of water

Q. But don't I have to change filters all the time?

Andy AJ Pumps

A. Filters only absorb so much then they have to be changed. With our systems the average

home changes once a year.(depending on chlorine concentration and amount of water used)

Q. What about a permanent set-up under my sink. Is it expensive? A. Filtration can be installed at point of use under the sink with a separate tap or can be

connected to your existing tap. Do-it-yourself kits are about $125. Installed its about $225.

Q. My whole house smells of chlorine, especially after showering? A. If you don't like showering or brushing your teeth with chlorine a whole house filter can be

installed. Surprisingly this does not cost much more than filtering just your sink. Another advantage to this is that if your house is on a septic field you do not neutralize the bacteria in the field. We find the average home is only about $500 installed.

Volunteer Week

More valued than gold BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ithout the hard work and tireless effort of volunteers, many beloved events and vital programs in Chilliwack wouldn’t be possible. But that’s not to say volunteering has to be difficult and tiring. In fact, Volunteering Chilliwack co-ordinator Cari Moore said helping out is as easy as it’s ever been. Volunteer Chilliwack is a Chilliwack Community Services program that works to connect would-be volunteers to dozens of different organizations in need of help. Moore said you don’t have to have a lot of spare time on your hands to help out. “If you only have a little time to spend on volunteering, you can always volunteer for events,” she said. “You don’t have to be on a committee, you can just volunteer to show up on the day.” Then there’s the fact that organizations aren’t just looking for manpower. Volunteers with special skills can be a great help to non-profits with limited budgets. And you might not even have to leave your house—or get dressed. “If you have specific things that you want to do as a volunteer, Volunteer Chilliwack can help match you up with organizations that might need that specific thing.” For example, Moore said, “If you’re a web designer that wants to volunteer in the middle of the night, I can put it out to the non-profit organizations that I work with and say ‘Does anyone need web designing done?’ They can do it on their own times and their own schedules.” That reflects a new trend in the volunteering world, Moore said.

“The highly skilled volunteer that has those specific skills [but] only has a little bit of time to do them is kind of the direction that volunteering is going in,” she said. “We really have to rethink the whole ‘Come in every Tuesday for eight hours volunteer position.’” Many of today’s would-be volunteers are particular about the types of duties they would like to do and might not have as much free time as those 20 years ago. “They still want to show that they made a difference. The non-profits out there are having to rethink their volunteer positions,” Moore said. It can be a challenge for non-profits to alter the way they recruit and use volunteers. But a more-skilled volunteer force also presents an opportunity for an organization to gain access to people with valuable—and otherwise expensive—talents.

Just make the call . . . and volunteer Whether you have a lot of time to volunteer or just a little, the place to start is by callingVolunteer Chilliwack at 604-793-7023. If you know what type of work you would like to do, or what type of non-profit you want to support, Moore will work to connect you with a suitable organization. If all you know is that you want to help out, Moore will try to learn what sort of volunteer work is best for you and then provide several options. Volunteer opportunities, especially those revolving around events, can also be found on the Internet by visiting www.volweb.ca. According to the site, volunteers are needed for Party in the Park events over the summer, along with the Prostate Cancer Foundation BC Chilliwack Father’s Day Walk/Run.

Still time to sign up for Relay for Life fundraiser

hilliwack Relay For Life’s volunteer organizing committee is counting down the days to their Ninth annual Chilliwack Relay For Life event at Prospera Centre Friday, May 3. Relay For Life is a 12-hour, overnight non-competitive community fundraising event that brings teams of colleagues, friends and families together to take turns walking or running indoors at Prospera Centre. “I don’t think there’s anyone of us that doesn’t know someone

who has been touched by cancer,” says committee co-chair Corinne McCabe. “On May 3, we invite everyone to come out and support our friends, our families and our community. Come celebrate, remember and fight back against this terrible disease.” “There is still time to sign up and participate this year,” says committee co-chair Tamara Simpson. “$20 gets you registered for the event, and we encourage each participant

to raise $100.”

What your donation can do: ◗ $35 will empower one cancer patient with the information he or she needs to better understand a diagnosis and make informed decisions about health. ◗ $35 can be used towards financial support for a family facing emotional, financial and practical challenges because of a child’s cancer diagnosis. ◗ $50 could help one of the one in

five cancer patients who cannot get to life-saving treatment because of a lack of transportation. ◗ $75 could help with the costs of providing a summer recreation program for a child at Camp Goodtimes. ◗ $75 can be used towards the cost of operating lodges in Prince George, Kelowna, Victoria and Vancouver that provide affordable, welcoming accommodation for cancer away from home during treatment.

Your Guide to Great Shops & Services Business of the Week QUALITY USED HOT TUBS FOR SALE

On site service and repairs to all makes of Hot Tubs.

◗ $125 will connect one patient with a cancer survivor who has “been there” to provide compassion and emotional support from diagnosis through recovery. ◗ $10,000 will give one cancer patient access to the newest types of cancer treatment through participation in a potentially life-saving clinical trial.

◗ For more information or to register, visit www.relaybc.ca/chilliwack2013 or call 604-792-3984.

Raffle was a success for school RAFFLE, from page 6 draw at G.W. Graham Thursday. Tracy said she would have been in a quandary about winning the souped-up 2009 Honda DX since she has two boys: Eric and 19-year-old Blake. But then Blake wasn’t there to chip in $5. “Flat out, it’s his car, so it’s great,” she said, adding her eldest is thrilled for his little brother anyway. And Eric’s reaction? “He’s overjoyed. He can’t believe it. It’s just fantastic,” Tracy said. But the Gray’s weren’t the only winners when it came to this year’s inaugural GWG Grad Car Raffle. Grads sold 2,752 tickets and raised $27,520. Even after costs (like paying Murray Honda a bargain price for the car), that will mean twice as much money for grad activities like convocation, prom and dry grad this year compared to last. “We couldn’t have done it without all the sponsors,”

Herculean effort together. “She’s just a real supporter of G.W. Graham and kids in general,” Jordan said. “She just wants to do what’s best for kids. We’re so lucky to have her.” The grads did their part too, of course, and top ticket-seller Michelle Gammon, who sold 255 tickets, was rewarded with an iPad mini. Other top sellers who snapped up prizes were August Wilder (125 tickets), Julie Merchel (109 tickets) and Oceanna Knappett (89 tickets).

Obituaries

Sawyer, Ruth Shirley (nee Reed)

Our beloved wife and mother, Ruth Shirley Sawyer (nee Reed) passed away peacefully on April 13th, of lung cancer. She was 79 years old. Shirley is survived by her dearest husband Cleon, her devoted children; Norman (Eileen), Donna (Greg), Cleon Jr (Dawn), and Preston (Donna), her adoring grand children; Joanna, Christopher, Danica, Andrew, Sarah and Paige Elizabeth, and great grand children Jack, Brandon and Leila. Shirley was born in North Bay, Ontario and was the 11th of 15 children. After a whirlwind courtship of three weeks, when Cleon was on leave from Korea, Shirley married her soul mate, Cleon in 1954. The family moved to British Columbia in 1963. Cleon and Shirley moved to Chilliwack in 1992 where they happily spent their retirement years. Shirley had the biggest heart, and was full of love, life and joy. Her smile could light up the room, and her laugh could bring a smile to all. Shirley and Cleon could not stand to see any child go unloved, so after raising their own children, they continued growing their family by bringing James and Jaime into the fold. Shirley will be remembered for many things; her fabulous pies, her pickles, her dress making and sewing, her beautiful voice, her piano and organ playing, and her sense of humor and beautiful laugh. She loved to cook and to read, and she loved animals, her church and god. She is with all of our departed family and friends and will be now be watching over us from above. She will be greatly missed. Memorial Services for Shirley was held on Friday the 19th, at 2pm at the Sardis Fellowship church, 45187 Wells Road, Chilliwack.

O’BRIEN, PATRICK GENE It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Patrick Gene O’Brien. Patrick passed away peacefully at 18 years of age on April 19th , 2013 with his family at his side. Patrick was born in Prince George, BC, the eldest son of Mark & Raylene O’Brien, brother to Devin O’Brien and grandson to Michael & Marjorie O’Brien and Gene & Shirley Elliott. Patrick had resided in Prince George, BC, Edmonton, AB and ﬁnally Chilliwack, BC. Patrick was enrolled in Grade 12 at GW Graham Secondary School in Chilliwack, BC. Patrick was a “Drama Kid” with the biggest heart, and was full of love, life and joy. His smile could light up a stage or a room, and his laugh could bring a smile to all. During Patrick’s year long battle against Ewing’s Sarcoma, he received a huge outpouring of kindness and support from family, friends, and caregivers. Mark, Raylene & Devin would like to thank all of Patrick’s relatives & friends, the staff at BC Children’s Oncology Unit, Coast Hotels & Resorts, Signode Canada, the staff at GW Graham Secondary School, The Make a Wish Team, Grandpa & Grandma Elliott, Grandma O’Brien, Dryden Douglass, Bobbi & Ethan Bradley, The Meldrum Family, Saturday Night Live, New York and the staff at Canuck Place.

All family, friends, and caregivers are invited to share their love, memories, and respect for Patrick at this event. Crying is optional but laughing & smiles are mandatory, as Patrick put it. If you wish to contact the family concerning this event, please email them at mrobrien@shaw.ca. In memory of Patrick and in lieu of ﬂowers, Patrick requested that all who attend his CELEBRATION OF LIFE bring their cheque books and donate to the organizations that gave him the most support & enjoyment in his last days – BC Children’s Oncology Unit, Make a Wish Program, and Canuck Place, Children Hospice. I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always As long as I’m living, My baby you’ll be.
