Mayor wants to clear the air

3 more years for high-risk offender BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack man who attacked a woman he had just met with a kitchen knife was sentenced to three more years of jail Friday. Judge Kenneth Skilnick said the sentence—which included one year of time served—reflected the need to protect the public from Shaun Michael Thorpe, who was labelled by a psychologist to present a “high level of risk for violent behaviour.” Thorpe, now 24, “seemed like a real nice kid” to his victim when the pair met on a downtown Chilliwack street in the evening of May 5, 2012. Thorpe invited the woman over to his house to share a beer that evening. But after a couple of drinks, he suddenly shoved his new acquaintance into a garden shed, held a knife to her throat and asked: “Do you want me to slit your throat right now?” The woman grabbed a cellphone and clubbed Thorpe in the face to stun him and facilitate her escape. The victim sustained a variety of knife cuts to her neck, hands and face in the attack. Thorpe was convicted of aggravated assault and uttering threats in March after a trial at which he claimed the woman had, in fact, attacked him with a knife. But Skilnick didn’t believe Thorpe’s testimony, noting that the woman had sustained defensive knife cuts to her hands. In handing down his sentence, Skilnick noted that “in addition to the physical harm, the psychological harm that the victim must have been faced with should not be minimized or glossed over.” Thorpe’s defence counsel, Evilasio Dos Santos, asked for a sentence of

he G.W. Graham senior boys rugby team honoured a fallen fellow student last week by finishing first in their division for the first time in the school’s history.

played amazing today . . . . There were some tries that normally wouldn’t have been scored. I can attest to that.” O’Brien was “drama kid” according to an obituary published in the Times April 25, but Jordan said he was a friend to many of the boys on her team, and that many of the Grizzlies are friends with O’Brien’s brother Devin as well. “Do it for Patrick!” was a common refrain in scrums through-

out Thursday’s game, and the Grizzlies eventually downed Abbotsford’s Rick Hansen secondary 27-14. The team even came together for an impromptu prayer at the end of the game. “That’s something we normally don’t do,” said Jordan, who has co-coached the team with husband Mike for seven years. It was an emotional end to what has been the best regular season in the team’s history. Besides finishing first in their division after years of sitting in the middle of the pack, Graham also made it into the provincial rankings—sixth—for the first time this year. “Now we just have an exceptional group of athletes who have committed to the game of rugby. That’s the difference,” Jordan said.

he one subject all provincial election candidates in Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope pretty much agree upon could still be a local wedge issue. At the April 18 all-candidates meeting at the Best Western, all eight candidates from both ridings spoke against Metro Vancouver’s plan to build a waste-to-energy facility, citing air quality concerns. But Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz—in her role as chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) board—has demanded the candidates take “a clear position” on the subject. “The neighbouring regional district’s plan to burn huge amounts of garbage and recyclables and pump the emissions into our shared airshed is the single biggest issue facing residents,” Gaetz said in an April 25 press release. “The provincial government elected on May 14 has the power to shut down plans to burn garbage.

Thorpe had been in jail following his arrest last May.

Mounties say a Kia hit a highway guard rail and stopped in the middle of the highway around 9:45 p.m. A tractor-trailer truck then hit the Kia, flipped and dumped its load on the highway. Debris then hit two more westbound vehicles—including another semi truck. No one was injured in the crash.

The judge agreed with Waldock’s argument and said he was loathe to place Thorpe back into the community. “We don’t fully understand the reasons for this level of violence,” Skilnick noted. That was worrying, the judge said, as was Thorpe’s untreated addiction issues. Skilnick said that the “major project” of rehabilitating Thorpe was one best undertaken in the federal prison system and not in the community.

News INCINERATOR, from page 1 or against garbage incineration.” Both the BC Conservatives (BCCP) and the Green Party have come out strongly against Metro’s incineration plan, each making campaign announcements in recent days. And while the two NDP and two BC Liberal candidates spoke generally against the plan on April 18, that apparently wasn’t good enough for Gaetz and the FVRD. “On behalf of all Fraser Valley residents, I want to ask each political candidate to offer a direct answer on where they stand on garbage incineration in the region,” Gaetz said. “Deferring to any outside environmental or planning process isn’t an answer—people deserve to know whether their next MLA will fight for or against burning garbage— period.” The latter statement would appear to be a reference to Chilliwack-Hope Liberal candidate Laurie Throness’s statement that any incinerator will go to a full environmental assessment. “That’s on our side,” Throness said on April 18. “The Premier is on our side. She will not force a disposal facility that will worsen the air quality of the Fraser Valley.” Chilliwack Liberal candidate John Martin was more forthright, saying garbage incineration was unnecessary and that he was “dead set against it.” Chilliwack NDP candidate Patti MacAhonic said the Fraser Valley could “not afford to have any more pressure on our air quality.” Chilliwack-Hope NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony said as MLA she took a tour of the Burnaby WTE incinerator so that she knew more about the subject, but she was cut off by the moderator before she could explain her position. On Monday, O’Mahony told the Times that

People deserve to know if MLA is pro or con her position in caucus is that any environmental assessment would have to show zero impact on air quality, something she knows is not possible. “Residents of the Fraser Valley, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, all throughout, are unanimously opposed to incineration.” Both local BCCP candidates, Chad Eros (Chilliwack) and Michael Henshall (Chilliwack-Hope) and Chilliwack Green Party candidate Kim Reimer said they were against the incinerator. In a press release issued since the meeting, Reimer said the plan has been supported by successive Liberal environment ministers and hasn’t been opposed by NDP critics. “We are happy that they agree with us now, but where was their opposition in the legislature before the election?” Reimer asked. “Why didn’t either party make a statement against this, why didn’t the environment minister put a stop to the plan’s approval?” At a campaign announcement in Abbotsford on April 22, the BCCP came out and said they would not allow Metro to build an incinerator. “The Liberals have taken the Fraser Valley for granted for too long. We need MLAs who will fight for their community. The current Liberal MLAs in this area have done nothing to stop the very unpopular incinerator from going ahead,” said leader John Cummins.

Wetlands new focus of pipeline foes BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ocal anti-pipeline activists have turned their focus to the Cheam Lake Wetlands and a recent decision by the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) board to allow Kinder Morgan Canada to survey the area as part of a routing consideration for its expansion project. Kinder Morgan owns the 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain oil sands pipeline that runs from Edmonton to Burnaby. The company has proposed a $5.4billion expansion that would see a near tripling of capacity up to 890,000 barrels per day. The existing pipeline, built in 1953, runs through Chilliwack but not through or near the Cheam Lake Wetlands, a 107-hectare FVRD park in Area D just to

the east of the city limits. At a March 26 meeting, the FVRD board authorized Kinder Morgan to conduct a “non-intrusive survey” of the park as part of routing and corridor studies. “Kinder Morgan is looking at possible looping alignments in this area,” an FVRD staff report stated. The company did not actually have to ask for permission as the National Energy Board Act provides Kinder Morgan with right of entry. Members of the PIPE UP Network want answers from the FVRD and say the district should consult with residents about such access. “My concern is that the pipeline doesn’t currently go through the wetlands, so why would they consider a route through a sensitive ecosystem,” said Michael Hale, a PIPE UP member

who lives in Yarrow. Members of PIPE UP tried to speak to the board at the April 23 meeting but were rebuffed by chair and Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz because the topic was not on that evening’s agenda. The FVRD has not taken a stance either in support or against the pipeline expansion. Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan has begun its next consultation period where it looks at specific routes through communities. The company will post selection criteria for the pipeline’s route on the website at www.transmountain.com one community at a time starting with Edmonton on May 8, continuing through to Hope on June 12 and Chilliwack and the FVRD by June 18. The information for Chilliwack will be available for feedback online until July 10.

Strahl speaks on growing concern BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl addressed local concerns over the growing of medical marijuana last week in Parliament. Strahl referenced one specific medical marijuana grower in a rural area of Chilliwack that was reported on by the Times in February. “Mr. Speaker, I recently met with a number of families who are concerned by a large marijuana grow operation that has sprung up in their neighbourhood,” Strahl said in the House of Commons on April 25. “Shockingly, this massive grow

op is considered a legal grow under the Medical Marihuana Access Program regulations set up by a previous Liberal government.” The grow in question is one of hundreds in Chilliwack, one of the communities with the most legal marijuana growers in Canada. As of February, there were 513 individuals in Chilliwack who hold personal use production licences (PUPL) and 77 who hold designated person production licences (DPPL). That’s a threefold, or a 206 per cent, increase in growers in the city in one year. On one rural road in Chilliwack, neighbours of the suspicious medical marijuana grow operation referenced by Strahl

have had concerns for years. The property has an alarmed security fence, a large dog, and fans that run 24 hours a day, seven days a week inside outbuildings so large they dwarf the neighbouring single family homes. “I know myself what a small marijuana grow operation looks like,” said one neighbour on condition of anonymity. “I have no opinion about medical marijuana. But this is a commercial operation that is supposed to be residential. And it’s in the ALR.” Strahl pointed to changes to the program coming in March 2014 that will take growing out of residential neighbourhoods.

New fall trial date set for man charged in hang-gliding death BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

new trial date has been set for the man accused in the hang-gliding death of Lenami Godinez-Avila last April. William (Jon) Orders is charged with criminal negligence causing death and obstruction of justice. Godinez-Avila fell to her death from a hang-glider piloted by Orders on April 28, 2012. The pair had just launched off of Mount Woodside, near Agassiz. Godinez-Avila and her boyfriend were celebrating an anniversary. Orders’s trial will last between six and 12 days and will begin Oct. 22.

The obstruction of justice charge stems from a police allegation that Orders swallowed a data disk from a video camera following the flight. In February, a new charge of criminal negligence causing death was laid. That postponed a trial originally scheduled to begin this spring. At a brief court appearance Monday, Orders’s lawyer said applications regarding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are anticipated at trial. Such applications to exclude evidence are often made by defence lawyers who allege their clients’ rights were violated during a criminal investigation.

PLEASE SLOW DOWN Chilliwack Mountain house Roadside Cleanup fire causes extensive damage Happening Now A fire broke out in a Sunrise Drive home last Wednesday.

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwack times.com

ire broke out in a Chilliwack Mountain home Wednesday afternoon, sending smoke billowing skyward and causing extensive damage. Fire crews from four different halls responded to the blaze, in the 8600 block of Sunrise Drive, just before 3 p.m. When they arrived, they found a three-bay garage fully involved, with flames extending across the roof’s wood shakes and into the

two-storey home. By the time crews managed to extinguish the fire, the garage and roof had sustained extensive fire damage, while both floors had suffered smoke and water damage. The homeowner arrived at the house to find smoke coming from the garage. After trying to fight the fire, he evacuated his two children from the home and called 9-1-1. Emergency Social Services provided accommodations to the homeowner and his family. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but officials believe it is accidental.

Every day can be Earth Day

read in an article this week that in order to care about the environment, we at first have to learn to love it. The article also claimed that we are raising children with a “Nature Deficit Disorder.” Far too many children are not spending enough time climbing trees, hiking up hills and identifying plants and birds, and when they are brought up only to connect with things that entertain them like television and video games, they are disconnected with the “hand that feeds them,”meaning the earth. In addition to many outdoor adventures with my family, I spent two wonderful childhood summers attending a week-long Anglican summer camp with a friend. We learned to steer a canoe, make sand candles with recycled crayons, use a map and compass, and make a campfire. I gained confidence in my own abilities and learned lessons I hold onto to this day. “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wide and wonderful, the Lord God made them all,” was how I was raised to think about the environment, and I think, perhaps, we need to remember to give our children this same idea, and if not in the

REBECCA SCHRAM

Be Our Guest same words, at least with the same approach. Words cannot possibly do the beauty of our world justice, especially at this time of year, and I cannot understand why anyone would want to desecrate it with garbage, toxins and other destructive ugliness. However, as I run the roads around my town, I see a lot of garbage; everything from diapers to rubber car mats end up in the ditches. I imagine all the drivers who have carelessly thrown these things out of their windows, and I feel sorry for their lack of conscience and care. Garbage in the ditches might seem minor compared to oil spills or chemical toxins, but it does point to a lack of consideration for this planet and its people. And, if we care to change the mindset of those who believe the earth is their garbage can, we need to start with the little things, not to mention the little people, in order to make a difference.

Everyone focuses on the need to look after the world for the sake of the children we will leave it to. Few mention the fact that our saving the planet will matter little if our children are not taught to keep on saving it. We had better start giving our children the idea that respect for the earth and its inhabitants starts with us, and it starts with them. We don’t need to cajole or lecture or fill their heads with a lot of gloomy statistics. We simply need to take them outside and share the joy of nature with them. If camping is not an option, then a trip to the lake shore or a walk to the park can also awaken their senses to the calming effect of nature and a desire to experience it more often and in a respectful manner. Children are natural sponges of information and sensory experiences; let’s make sure that what they are absorbing is worthy of them and their future. ◗ Rebecca Schram is a mother of four, a busy volunteer in her community of Agassiz, and a dedicated writer/blogger.

ith the future of two proposed pipelines at stake, the transportation of oil from Alberta to the British Columbia coast has become a major issue in the provincial election campaign. But while there is much debate over whether transporting diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands is dangerous or economically necessary, there is less talk about the damage done when we fill our own vehicles up at the gas station. The two issues aren’t identical: antipipeline activists are right to point out that the oil sands dilbit is an unknown quantity. And the Northern British Columbia coast, in particular, does pose unique dangers for tankers. But it’s worth stopping for a moment to question the danger posed by our own prolific use of gas. After all, the oil we consume is not pumped in Chilliwack. It comes from Alberta or Texas or Nigeria or Venezuela; which is to say, it is transported from its source. Sometimes, spills happen, damaging the local environment. Other times, that oil breeds corruption that stifles democracy. That does not invalidate all opposition to pipelines, but it should cause pipeline detractors—and promoters—to take a cold look at their own purchasing decisions and how they affect people thousands of kilometres away. Similarly, last week hundreds of garment workers died when a factory collapsed in Bangladesh. That we buy clothes (or oil) from the third world is not necessarily a bad thing; just like oil revenue can pay for government services, low-wage jobs can be the first step an economy takes towards first- or second-world sustainable development. But if we as consumers are going to goods produced in Bangladesh or oil from Nigeria, we have a moral obligation to demand as much protection for workers and the environment as we would like to see here. After all, the demise of the Northern Gateway pipeline would be an exercise in futility if it only adds to the misery of people in another oil-producing part of the world.

Must question coverage

Editor: Now that a provincial election is in full swing, a question that should be posed to the politicians that may be elected, is one concerning health services—specifically Pharmacare. Currently people who subscribe to extended health insurance assume that some services that are not covered by the provincial MSP will be covered in full or in a specific portion by their insurance plan. Not true. Pharmacare decides what drugs will or will not be covered in this province. A health care provider may prescribe a certain drug for his or her patient to remedy a problem. However, when that patient submits that prescription claim to be reimbursed for that cost to an extended health care plan, the insurance provider can inform that person that since this drug is not under the Pharmacare plan, no coverage will be made. Is this some collusion between Pharmacare and insurance providers to escape payment for fully approved prescription drugs? Or is this Pharmacare’s way of not paying for certain drugs for people who do not have extended health coverage? Can any of the politicians who may read this article commit to correcting this issue, should they be elected? It certainly must affect many voters and something that should be corrected. What’s the point of buying extended health insurance, if claims will not be paid for prescriptions because of some provincial bureaucratic body making decisions that is not in the interest of British Columbians? Walter Soltys. Chilliwack

We’ll pay the hidden costs Editor: The threat to the health of Chilliwack citizens persists as the project to build an incinerator by the Greater Vancouver Metropolitan Area still continues to process as the present Liberal administration has not taken the necessary action to stop the process. It is only a few months ago

Where’s the accountability?

that a quantity of “fly ash” produced by the present Burnaby incinerator was accidentally released and the dangers of heavy metal content (especially cadmium) exposed, to the embarrassment of those in favour of incineration of municipal waste. The proposal to incinerate approximately 400,000 tons of material is still not rejected by the higher power of the B.C. provincial government. The contention is that burning will produce energy for our electrical system. This proposal includes faulty economic reasoning as there is a hidden downside to the argument, namely the cost of the extra services required from the health care system to cover increased acute lung illnesses from asthma in the young to chronic obstructive disease and bronchitis in the elderly. As the proposed incinerator plant will be privately owned, the financial rewards will accrue to the owner and the hidden cost will be paid by the B.C. taxpayer. There are approximately 1.5 million people in the mid- and upper Fraser Valley; all will be affect by increasing air pollution that is already critically high for short-term periods of the year after a temperature inversion in Vancouver finally dissipates a concentrated mass of polluted air into the Fraser Valley air shed. No matter what political allegiance one prefers, the citizens of Chilliwack have the right to expect their political candidates for the forthcoming election to state quite clearly whether they will act by legislation to stop this serious threat to our health. H.D. Rogers Chilliwack

Editor: Jordan Wilson (Chilliwack Times, April 25) is right to be concerned about the declining accountability of municipal and regional politicians. Since no-one in Victoria is enforcing the Community Charter, its objectives of accountability are not being met. In Harrison, the question period comes at the very end of the agenda, when all the decisions have already been made. When I pushed for an answer once, the mayor advised me that it was called “question period” not “question and answer period” so no answers were promised. Most questions are referred to staff, who then demand a FOI application and they take a full 30 working days to respond to that. The auditor won’t take questions from the public. Mayor Facio (a FVRD director) is now pushing to limit public questions to items on the Harrison agenda only. The result will be no opportunity for taxpayers to ask about public business except every three years at the elections. That is not good enough. We need to have annual elections and a more vigilant and active Inspector of Municipalities protecting our civic rights. John J. Allen Harrison Hot Springs

Jock scraps Redhawks league champions Chilliwack’s U-14 Redhawks are BC Coastal Girls Soccer League champions after defeating the Ladner Dragons in penalty kicks. After four earlier cup wins, the Redhawks travelled to Vancouver April 20 to take on the Dragons for predominance in the Bronze Division. It was a close, hard-fought battle, but neither team could break through for a goal in regulation time or in overtime. But Redhawks keeper Petra Middleburg shone during penalty kicks, making two diving saves, while Danaye Reinhardt and Kara Vinchoff buried their shots for the 1-0 shootout win. McLellan cards tournament-best 76 Chilliwack’s Connor McLellan shot a tournament-best 76 in his final round but still fell just one stroke short of forcing a playoff in the Canadian Junior Golf Association’s Sagebrush Junior Classic last weekend. Down nine strokes after a rough opening day, McLellan tore through the Sagebrush Golf & Sporting Club on Sunday to close the tournament at plus-24, one shot back of West Vancouver’s Liam Ripper. McLellan birdied three holes on the back nine to leap his way up the leader board. Stealers finish third in May Madness The Chilliwack Stealers U-14 girls fastpitch team clinched third place in the May Madness Ridge Meadows tournament over the weekend. After Saturday’s games were rained out, the girls showed up early Sunday with their game faces on for back-to-back games. Even with strong hitting in their first game against Ridge Meadows Rampage, the Stealers couldn’t maintain their lead and ended up losing 6-5. In the next round robin game, hitting and stealing bases gave them a commanding lead, with Kiana Kelly and Amanda Moore’s home runs clinching the 19-5 win over the Ridge Meadow Slammers. The Ridge Meadows Canadians found it difficult to hit off the pitching of Ashley Guthrie and Moore in the first playoff game, and with the support of strong fielding, the Stealers kept the Ridge Meadows Canadians at bay with a 7-1 win In the semifinal, the Surrey Demons pressured the Stealers with tight fielding and hard hitting. Scoreless in the final inning, Stealers Nathania Braun and Danika Rahnborn started a late rally by stealing bases. Their teammates joined in and scored the maximum five runs. But time was called, with the Stealers still trailing 10-5. The locals walked away with bronze medals for their efforts.

McMULLAN

Esther “Louise”

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Loving Wife, Dedicated Mom, Cherished Sister and Best Nana ever, Esther “Louise” McMullan who went to heaven on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at the too early age of 63 years. Louise was born on August 9, 1949 in Londonderry, Northern Ireland where she was raised with her four sisters and one brother. She met her future husband at the age of 16 on a blind date. Hedley & Louise dated for 4 years and were married on September 20, 1969. They resided in Londonderry where they started their own family and Louise worked at a shirt factory before they moved to Strabane where she got a job in a nylon factory. In 1975, at the age of 26, Louise & Hedley packed up their two little girls to immigrate to Chilliwack, BC, Canada where they made their home for the rest of her days and where her family remains. Louise did housekeeping until she started working at Chilliwack General Hospital as a Patient Care Aid for 16 years until she retired early. Louise will be deeply missed by her husband of 43 years, Hedley and their two daughters, Julie (John) and Joanne (Clayton), her four grandkids, Joel, Jessica, Cassidy & Paige, her sisters Heather (Ken), Hilary (Tommy), Vivienne (Joe), Sandra, many nieces, nephews and other family and friends. Louise was sadly predeceased by her parents, Joe & Ruby Moore and her precious brother, Raymond. Her favorite pastime was taking care of and spending time with her 4 treasured grandchildren. She played endless games of cards, checkers, snakes & ladders and never let them win as she always thought it was best to teach them a lesson. Nana’s taxi went all over the place and she was a constant at their schools and sport events. Mom hosted weekly Tuesday night dinners for us as her family was everything to her. Outside of family, Louise loved playing darts, playing poker on the computer, watching her soap operas and enjoyed reality shows like Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor. Any time spent with family and friends made Louise’s day and she valued each and every one who was lucky enough to know her. Louise was so kind hearted and caring. They don’t make them like her anymore, she was an amazing woman who can never be replaced or forgotten but will live on and around us forever. A Memorial Service with reception will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, May 3, 2013 at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack; Angus Haggerty ofﬁciating. Special thanks to the dedicated and caring ICU nurses and doctors at Surrey Memorial Hospital and also those who took care of her during her short stay at Chilliwack Hospital. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial donations may be made in Louise McMullan’s name to the BC Lung Association, PO Box 34009 Stn D, Vancouver, BC V6J 9Z9. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca. Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Avenue Chilliwack BC V2P 1B5 ~ 604-793-4555

McCracken, Mary Ruth (nee Crane)

19 March 1930 – 16 April 2013

Mary passed away peacefully with her family by her side 16 April 2013. Mary spent her final days with her sons David, Mark, Keith, and daughter in law Chalermluck (Tui). She lived out her life’s wish in her beloved home on Fairfield Island, Chilliwack. Born 19th March 1930 in Coventry England to William & Ruth Crane. At a young age Mary was affected by the Second World War during the “Blitz”, where Coventry was heavily bombed forcing the family to move to safety in rural Rhyl on the north Wales coast. She completed school during the war years in Wales; post war Mary trained as a professional Stenographer and worked locally in Rhyl. In 1952 Mary traveled to Canada to meet friends and wartime penpals. Sailing from Liverpool to Montreal where she worked saving rail ticket money for onward travel. During this fateful train journey west to Indian Head, Saskatchewan to visit friends she first encountered her future husband William (Bill) McCracken returning to his regiment in Calgary the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (RC) following the Korean War. Later, working as a professional stenographer in Calgary, Mary bumped into Bill by chance on a busy street. Marrying in 1955 Mary devoted herself to creating a strong family and loving homes in Calgary Alta., Barrie Ont., Hemer & Lahr West Germany, and lastly Chilliwack B.C. Energetic mother encouraging fishing, camping, hockey, soccer and baseball she tirelessly grew a loyal family. Sadly, her husband passed away in 1982, she remained dedicated to maintaining a home for her family and friends. Mary was an enthusiastic and active volunteer serving the Chilliwack community for many years. As Community Services receptionist, many in this community heard Mary’s cheerful and helpful voice. As a long time Weight Watchers member Mary achieved her goals early; she remained active encouraging others to achieve theirs. An avid traveler Mary journeyed throughout North America, Europe, and SE Asia, meeting many new friends, including the Thai Royal family Crown Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, and the Governor General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson. A memorial service for Mary will take place at 1400hrs on Thursday 02 May 2013, at the Henderson Funeral Home located at 45901 Victoria Ave., Chilliwack B.C., V2P 2SP (Tel: +1-604-792-1344). Family and friends are welcome to attend celebrating Mary’s life. Mary will be interned together with her husband, at Chilliwack Cemetery on Little Mountain overlooking the upper Fraser Valley and beloved mountain views she cherished. Selfless cheerful lady who never complained, always looking after the welfare of others first, forever remembered.
