The Pie Ladies of Chatham


 CBC News - Canada - Sentencing delayed for drunk driver who killed ...

What a sad story. Will we ever be able to get drunk drivers off off the streets? It takes friends and family to intervene, I think.


Families of Chatham's 'Pie Ladies' donate alcohol tester to local police


ONTARIO - Family members of the Pie Ladies will be donating a roadside alcohol testing device to Chatham-Kent police next week. The donation will take place on Tuesday, the second anniversary of the crash which took the lives of Marion Dawson, Jean Ripley, Verna Neaves and Bernice Phillips.

MADD Canada, Chatham-Kent Chapter, will be making the donation on behalf of family members.


Wladyslaw Bilski, of Chatham, was sentenced to four years in prison for four counts of impaired driving causing death, along with a 10-year driving ban. The four elderly women, known as the Pie Ladies, were headed home from a church supper when Bilski slammed into them on Keil Drive in Chatham on Nov. 24, 2007.

One year in prison for each life... so unfair!
