When Langley farmers opened their copies of the British Columbian weekly of June 30, 1914, it was the 100th birthday of New Westminster’s Mrs. George Debeck that dominated the Fraser Valley newspaper’s front page. News of the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which had occurred just two days earlier, was consigned to a story on the side. Murdered in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo, the late Archduke was heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His murder by Serbian extremists was seen in Austria as part of a sinister plot on the part of the Serbian government to destabilize the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite his lofty status, Franz Ferdinand was little liked by the Austrian government. His death nonetheless offered an irresistible excuse for Austria to take military action against its troublesome Balkan neighbour. Yet after the initial drama of the assassination, the press made little mention of the incident. There was nothing to suggest an emerging regional conflict, much less an impending global conflagration. On July 23, however, the Austrian government presented Serbia with
an inflammatory ten-point ultimatum. Within days, Serbia had agreed to each of its demands, save for one that would have jeopardized the nation’s very sovereignty. Serbia’s non-compliance was sufficient excuse for Austria to declare war, and at that point a complex web of international treaties, alliances and understandings all came into play. Russia rallied to the defence of Serbia and Germany to the support of Austria, thereby placing Russia at war with Germany. France’s alliance with Russia ensured her participation in the emerging conflict. If that was not enough, Great Britain’s understandings with France and Russia put her on the side of those two countries, though it was not until Germany sent troops through neutral Belgium that Britain entered the growing fray. As a British dominion Canada had a peculiar status within the British Empire, enjoying full independence in all matters save for foreign affairs. With close to 60 per cent of its residents tracing their origins to the British Isles, however, the vast majority of Canadians considered themselves loyal members of a world-wide family of British nations, each of them prepared to fight for the Empire.

Police investigating stabbing at bus exchange A stabbing of a man waiting at the Carvolth Exchange bus loop on Friday appears to be targeted, confirm police. “The story the victim is telling us doesn’t make sense right now, so we are continuing to investigate,” said Langley RCMP Cpl.

The victim was transported to hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Police continue to investigate. So far, no suspects have been apprehended.

A heartless thief stole Poppy Fund money from the Bibles for Missions Thrift Store in Langley last Thursday (Nov. 6). Staff at the store, located on 200 Street, have released a picture of the suspect and are hoping someone can identify the man. A surveillance picture of a man who stole a poppy box in Abbotsford was released to the media last week, leading to an arrest.

A Kamloops group that is working to increase voter turnout from 29 per cent in 2011 to 50 per cent in 2014 has inspired Marilyn Fischer of Triple A Senior Housing to issue a challenge in Langley. Local turnout for the 2011 election in the Township was 25.9 per cent, and in the City it was 20.9 per cent. Anything less than 30 per cent is considered very low. “This is a very important election given the extension of terms from three to four years and the important issues that both the City and Township are facing,� she says. “Therefore, Triple A Senior Housing is hereby issuing a friendly challenge to the Township and City to see which community can increase their voter turnout the most.� Fischer added an incentive to her challenge.

Her group, which sponsored two all-candidates meetings at the Langley Seniors Centre, is calling on all candidates from both the City and Township to make a pledge of $50 or more to their choice of one of the two charities it has selected — the Langley Christmas Bureau and the B.C. Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. Candidates from the jurisdiction, City or Township, with the highest percentage increase in voter turnout, would be expected to make good on their pledge to their chosen charity. Voters in that jurisdiction could possibly consider the candidates’ donations a reward for getting the vote out. Fischer hopes the two challenges will inspire people to get out and vote on Saturday. Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Langley City hopefuls were questioned at close range during a seniors election forum on Wednesday. The event at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre drew around 100 people, who had the chance to raise issues with candidates as they moved from table to table in the centre’s large main hall. This was the first year the centre has hosted forums for candidates, holding separate sessions for Township and City hopefuls on different days. Concerns about crime and resources for older residents appeared to get the most attention. During opening remarks different candidates courted the seniors vote in different ways, with acting mayor Ted Schaffer noting that he has the endorsement of previous mayors Aubrey Searle, Peter Fassbender and Joe Lopushinsky. “Politics brings strange people together,” Schaffer said. Mayoralty hopeful Randy Caine said that he was there to dispel the myth that he is a single-issue candidate. “Breadth is important,” Caine said. Ray Lewis said if he is elected mayor he will take steps to make the city a safer place. “Seniors especially, I feel, are feeling very threatened. It’s not safe to walk down the street,” Lewis said. In contest for one of six council seats, Paul Albrecht promised a “fresh perspective,” and incumbent Jack Arnold said voters had the opportunity to elect three new councillors while returning the three incumbents, allowing “you guys” to bring new blood to council while keeping experience. Incumbent Dave Hall said voters who look at his record will see that he is truly politically independent. Christine MacIntosh offered to have coffee with attendees who wanted to know her better, saying “I have guided my life by respecting my elders and listening to them,” and Miriam Marshall said she will work to create an “official seniors committee” for Langley. Incumbent Gayle Martin said her time on council offers experience and stability, Sharon Newbery said as a local business owner she is concerned about crime and the change in the city’s “economic base” and Nathan Pachal said he would bring “fresh ideas” and make the community more accessible through measures like wider sidewalks. Carla Robin pointed out that she worked as the first United Way-funded seniors co-ordinator in the city, Rudy Storteboom said his mother, who was present, would vouch for him as a good son who takes his responsibilities seriously, and Val van den Broek talked about her volunteer work as an auxiliary police officer who “understands what needs to be done.” Video online at www.langleytimes.com

ID THEFT SUSPECT identity thief, in hopes someone can identify him. Police were called to the U-Haul rental outlet on July 26 and told that one of their cube vans had been rented on July 17 and not returned five days later, as was agreed. A representative of the U-Haul company
called the man identified on the rental agreement who advised the truck would be returned. To date, it still has not. Police went to the home of the man named on the contract and discovered this man had been the victim of identity theft. His wallet containing all his identification had been stolen back in 2011 and he has been the victim of ID theft ever since. He is in the process of dealing with this issue, said police. Investigators confirm the man who rented the U-Haul did so fraudulently by using stolen ID. If you can assist with this man’s identity call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Rick Green associate worked on ‘Unelection campaign’ FORMER GREEN CAMPAIGN MANAGER IAN CAMERON BUILT WEBSITE FOR CAMPAIGN THAT AIMS TO DEFEAT INCUMBENT MAYOR DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
A business associate and former campaign manager for Township mayoralty contender Rick Green created the website for the Langley “Unelection campaign” that aims to unseat incumbent mayor Jack Froese and other members of council. Ian Cameron, a long-time friend and business associate of Green, told The Times he accepted the volunteer assignment before Green announced his candidacy. “I had no idea Rick was running,” Cameron said on Thursday (Nov. 6). The website for Rick Green Associates lists Cameron as an “Associate, Marketing.” Green told The Times that he suggested Cameron when he was asked if he knew anyone who could build a website for the Unelection campaign. “I had numerous calls from people asking advice,” Green told The Times. “[Asking] ‘did you know somebody who

Unelection campaign spokesperson Andy Schildhorn said Cameron agreed to build the www.unelectioncampaign.ca site about six months ago. “It was done for free,” Schildhorn said. “I didn’t even know who Ian Cameron was

[when he agreed to do the work].” In response to a Times query, Schildhorn said the group wasn’t working with any of the municipal contenders. “We have no candidates in our group,” Schildhorn said, adding “there is no conspiracy here.” Green said Cameron was his campaign manager in 2008, when he won election as Township mayor, but not this year. Green described Cameron as an “old friend” and long-time business associate. “We go back to my
food industry days,” Green said, adding “there’s absolutely no connection with me [and the Unelection Campaign] … there’s no smoking gun.” The Unelection Campaign launched its website in August, with four identified members; Schildhorn, Lee Lockwood, Anna R. (who refuses to give her last name) and Bob Duncan. It sponsored a well-attended all-candidates meeting on Friday. The Times will publish a report from that meeting in Thursday’s paper. The campaign website gives Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Grant Ward, Charlie Fox, Bev Dornan and Steve Ferguson “Fs” and recommends against re-electing them. Councillors Michelle Sparrow and Bob Long received “C-” marks, with cautious re-election endorsements, while Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis received “Bs.” The website has not, as yet, rated non-incumbent candidates like Green, who served one term as mayor before his defeat by Froese.

The First World War was well underway 100 years ago today. It began in July, 1914 and, in the early days, people thought it would be over by Christmas. That caused young men, including many in Langley, to clamour to get overseas so they wouldn’t miss any of the action. In fact, the war extended for four more years — ending on Nov. 11, 1918. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with more than nine million combatants killed, along with seven million civilians. It led directly to the Russian Revolution, severe inflation in Germany and the eventual rise to power of the Nazis, the ineffective League of Nations and ultimately to the Second World War. Remembrance Day began as an effort to remember the horrific slaughter and the sacrifices made by soldiers, from Canada and many other countries, in that war. It has been observed here for many years. At one time, there was minimal participation by the public, but that has changed dramatically in the past 10 to 15 years, and this year’s events will likely be even bigger, given that the deaths of two Canadian soldiers in Canada last month are very fresh in many people’s minds. The two World Wars, Korean War, peacekeeping missions, Persian Gulf War and Afghan conflict are all remembered at Remembrance Day ceremonies. Soldiers lost their lives in all of them. A message from King George V to the families of each Canadian soldier killed in the First World War is worth quoting in its entirety: “I join with my grateful people in sending you this memorial of a brave life given for others in the Great War.” Let’s follow his example and remember the brave lives given on our behalf, as we stand with the families of soldiers today, and mark Remembrance Day.

How will you mark Remembrance Day this year? In 2014, as we mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War — so erroneously dubbed ‘the war to end all wars’ following the horrific conflict — we pause to reflect how different our world is today than when those young men and women left their homes for the far-flung battlefields of Europe. At the same time, we recognize that the risks today’s service men and women face remain all too real. As recent events in Quebec and Ontario remind us, our Armed Forces personnel are not only at risk when fighting on foreign soil. Each day, both at home and abroad, service personnel strive to keep Canada and Canadians secure; sometimes putting their lives at risk in doing so. It’s likely in response to this that local members of the Royal Canadian Legion noticed a spike of early interest among those looking for poppies this year. In fact, as the number of veterans from those early battles dwindles each Nov. 11, we see renewed demonstrations of remembrance from younger generations — from soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, their families and friends, and the community at large. Local author and historian Mark Zuehlke, last week awarded the 2014 Pierre Berton Award: the Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media for his contributions to the promotion of Canadian history, has seen a shift in recent years, not only to those participating at Remembrance Day services, but also those actively seeking the stories that formed such a significant part of our national identity. From the traditional readership of veterans and history circles who sought out his Canadian Battle Series titles, Zuehlke has seen significant growth among younger readership, nearly half of which are women in the 35- to 65-year-old demographic. These are people interested in their family stories, the generations that came before, and how their experiences shaped the society we now enjoy. “I’m very heartened when I go to the cenotaphs on Nov. 11 and see all these families there with their kids; you didn’t see that 15 years ago,” Zuehlke reflected. “I think people started thinking about remembrance more.” — Goldstream News Gazette

The unsung heroes of yesterday Editor: Let’s take time to remember those that fought for freedom. Many lives were forever altered and changed by the Second World War. How many young men went off to war, with hero dreams dancing in their heads, and came back with nightmarish visions that would stay with them for the rest of their lives? Most of them would never talk about their experiences. My Dad was such a person. He enlisted to serve in the war. He left the comfort of home to fight for everyone’s right to enjoy freedom. Just before he left, his Mom asked him what he wanted her to keep for him, and he called back “My skates — make sure you keep my skates for when I return.” That was the last she saw of him for many years. He went to England and signed up as a motorcycle dispatcher. He would carry vital plans and communications about the war front from camp to camp. The success of the war depended on the accurate and timely delivery of these communications. One unfortunate day, as he was travelling under the cover of the dark of night, he met with an unfortunate accident. It was a dark and foggy night with a slight drizzle of rain as is so commonly found in the English moors. The little
dirt road he travelled on twisted its way through the vales and cliffs of the countryside. The leather pouch resting on the side of his motorbike was filled with the strategies that, hopefully would win the war for the Allies. He relentlessly drove through the pitch black of night carefully following every hairpin twist and turn in the road. He approached a corner and suddenly a large truck seemed to appear out of nowhere. It filled his vision like an unexpected spectre in the night. There was no time to react. A screech of tires, the wail of engines trying to stop, filled my Dad’s senses as he was tragically pulled under the truck. Then all was black, until he awoke again on the side of the road. His bike — a pitiful mangled scrap metal heap — lay by his side. His leg was laying beside him at an odd angle. He remembered wondering whose leg it was that was lying so close to him. Then, there was the awful realization that it was his leg, twisted back in an unnatural, unearthly position. The pain started screeching at him just before he, once again, passed out. He and his dreams were now laying on the road — in the drizzle, in the dark, all alone. He was shipped home to Toronto where he spent five years in a veterans’ hospital
Donna M. Van Beek
while the doctors tried to rebuild his leg. They told him that he would never walk on it again. They wanted to amputate, but he was determined to save his leg and refused to let them sever his lifeless limb. He did walk on it again — at first with the help of crutches, then a cane, then a large boot with a leg brace for the rest of his life. His leg no longer could bend at the knee, but was rather like a stiff piece of lumber attached to him that got him around from place to place. Dreams of youth dissipated after the war, including youthful dreams of skating again, of doing things that one used to do. The world changed that day for my Dad. For many, the war was not a singular event but rather a lifelong event that changed their lives forever. For many, the price they paid for our freedom lasted the rest of their lives. These are the unsung heroes of yesterday. They left their homes and families to secure a better life for future generations. Let us not forget! Wear a poppy this year just for them. They paid a price and we need to acknowledge that! CATHY DASILVA,

Memories become conveniently vague during election campaign Editor: Have we forgotten the history of the Willoughby OCP and the provincial proposal for 208 Street? It seems that during an election campaign, people’s memories become conveniently vague. The Willoughby OCP has been in the works since before the 1990s. The many neighbourhoods and excellent designs for green space and the concept of a“walking friendly” area were well-considered by former Township planner Terry Lyster. There were many community meetings and opportunities for input from the public over the past 20-plus years, as the
OCP took shape. Each neighbourhood plan has been accompanied by many more community meetings and “readings” before approval. There really is a coherent development process in the planning department of the Township of Langley. Now, years later, people forget that there has been due process. Sure, there are growing pains — general disruption, construction impediments and more car traffic as the area grows. TransLink hasn’t been very helpful in reducing the number of cars on the road. As the province developed the Carvolth Exchange, TransLink did
not provide community shuttle service to the commuters of the rapidly growing Willoughby area — hence the traffic congestion. There is no bus service east of 200 Street between Highway 1 and 68 Avenue, which takes in most of Willoughby. Also of note, a few years ago the province proposed that 208 Street become a secondary truck route. With the funding support of the provincial government, the whole road would have developed into four lanes. What happened? Many of the residents were up in arms about the proposal and it was rejected. Now we
20534 Fraser Highway, langley 604 532-5226 1fish2fish.ca
have the piecemeal widening of 208 Street, a block at a time. It is widened as it is developed (as part of the developer’s obligation) — hence the mess that it is. To the politicians I say, please check the history of the Willoughby OCP and remember the good proposals that have come. Some have gone by the wayside. No single politician can claim to be a saviour. Several mayors and many councillors have gone before you and tried to make the best decisions for Langley. HOLLY STERMSHNIG, LANGLEY

Little call for horses in war of machines
S ubm itted ph oto
George Ripley survived the war but died in 1929 at the age of 36. From Page 12
Port Kells farmer Carl von Mackensen, a nephew of the soon-to-be-famous German field marshal, was labelled a German spy and interned in Vernon. Many considered his hilltop mansion, with its interconnecting passages and rumoured secret tunnel, a hotbed of enemy espionage. Burdened with a German-sounding surname, Murrayville’s hitherto-respected Hagelstein family felt obliged to become the Hazelsons, if only for the war’s duration. Even the community’s wartime mayor, Irish-born Robert Wark, suffered at the hands of the hysteria. As Wark’s daughter Mary recalled 90 years later: “My mother tended to hire as household help women who desperately needed a job and for whom she felt sorry. (We got an occasional doozy!). One of these decided that my father, an Irishman with a brogue right out of Londonderry, was a German spy. “She made this known frequently to all within earshot. I can still see my Dad striding down the road to the station, her suitcase on his shoulder, the lady following close behind screaming that accusation at him.” In the face of all these false alarms, the Langley unit of the B.C. Horse must have been gratified when it encountered a group of apparently genuine Austrian reservists trying to avoid internment. As the British Columbian
reported: warned of their presence by Police Chief Blair, “Corporal Marr and Sergeant Sellers, with Privates Bartlett, Gay, Hope, Wright, Ripley, and others, left the Fort at the gallop” in pursuit of the enemy soldiers. Rendezvousing with Captain Art Johnston at Milner, the B.C. Horse continued south to the American border, surrounded the alleged reservists in their camp, took them into custody, and sent them by hired bus to jail in New Westminster. But the Langley men’s hour of glory quickly descended into farce. While riding across a wooden bridge, Dr. Marr’s horse “fell foul of the planking and slipped half way through. Constable Blair’s horse, coming on behind, kicked Marr twice,” rendering him lame for a week. Ironically, Dr. Marr had earlier written to Sir Sam Hughes, the Minister of Militia, offering his services as a cavalry officer. With an army already burdened with surplus horsemen, Hughes declined Marr’s offer. But Marr was persistent and eventually trained for the cavalry. When the army finally realized the limitations of cavalry in a highly mechanized war, Marr transferred to the Canadian Army Medical Corps, serving both in England and on the Western Front. The British Columbian proved accurate in predicting a distinguished career for the doctor: “In future years, Fort Langley residents may have good cause to be thankful for experience gained
at the terrible instance of war.” Despite its initial celebrity, Langley’s unit of the B.C. Horse melted away as its officers and men enlisted in units destined for service overseas. There, danger from loose planking faded into insignificance in the face of the indescribable horrors of trench warfare. Soldiers sent to Europe were not “home by Christmas” as many had predicted. Troops on both sides dug in for a lengthy war of attrition. In the face of modern, mechanized warfare, men on horseback were routinely re-designated as foot soldiers. Art Johnston, the Langley unit’s senior member, became a major in the 102nd Canadian Infantry Battalion and was posted to Belgium in June 1916. Three months later, while leaving the safety of his dugout to help relieve another company, a stray bullet hit him in the temple. Johnston died almost instantly, lamented by his men and admired by his commanding officer “as a friend, comrade, and soldier.” Sgt. Jesse Wright, son of George and Mary Wright of Fort Langley, was killed in action at Vimy in April 1917, a few days after the Canadian Corps’s much-lauded capture of the strategic ridge. Wright has no known grave and is remembered on the Canadian Memorial at Vimy. Lt. George Sellers, a Fort Langley land agent, boat-builder and entrepreneur, survived three years of unspeakably bloody combat, only to be cut down by a German bullet eight weeks before the Armistice. Not long after, his widow succumbed to the Spanish flu, her two young children
left as orphans. Seventeen years later, the Sellers’ newly-married daughter Kitty honoured her father’s memory by placing her floral bouquet on Vernon’s cenotaph on leaving her wedding service. Archie Bartlett, an early member of the B.C. Horse, enlisted in the Canadian Army Service Corps in October 1917. The morning he was to have reported to his unit a neigh-

bour found him dead in his Fort Langley shack, a rifle by his side. Bartlett had been an active and apparently contented member of the Langley community; his inner torment and suicide were never fully explained. Sgt. Harry Witcombe survived the war, having served as an artillery instructor in England and later, as a gunner in France. Many years later, his mind perhaps unhinged by carnage witnessed on the battlefield, he too ended his life with a shotgun blast. Alex Hope eventually enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps, but got no nearer the front than Texas. In later years he became active in politics, serving as
Langley’s reeve and later as its MLA. George Medd served as a driver and farrier in the Canadian Artillery and lived out his life in Langley. George Ripley returned to his native Ireland but resettled in British Columbia after the war, where he died in 1929, aged just 36. Archie Payne and Dr. Marr both survived the war, Payne having earned the Military Cross for gallantry under fire at the Battle of Passchendaele. When the two men met again in Langley, the community was a vastly different place. Close to half the adult male population had served in uniform. Of those, one in ten lay buried in the blood-soaked fields of France or Flanders: victims of shell-fire, machine gun bullets, or poisonous gas. Dozens more would never return to Langley; the disruption of war had directed their lives elsewhere. Stirred by memories of service and suffering overseas, Marr and Payne lobbied to have the roads of Langley renamed in memory of the fallen. Payne became a champion of veterans’ rights and helped to found the Langley branch of the Great War Veterans Association, now the Royal Canadian Legion. Marr initiated the planting of memorial trees throughout the Township and inspired the construction of the Murrayville and Fort Langley cenotaphs. Although the Langley squadron of the B.C. Horse had disbanded by the time the memorials were completed, the sacrifice of its members would long be remembered. Warren Sommer is an author currently working on a book about Langley and the First World War.

TWU Theatre presents a not-so-traditional Nativity
Auction supports children’s charities
‘BUTTERFINGERS ANGEL’ RUNS NOV. 18-29 Christmas can be a stressful time. Especially if you’re the angel in charge of it all. SAMC Theatre’s Butterfingers Angel follows the witless Gabriel on a wild ride that’s full of surprises. Far from traditional, this fast and funny Nativity is a powerful tale of human struggle wrapped up in the clumsiest, kookiest Christmas pageant imaginable. Onstage at Trinity Western University from Nov. 18 to 29, William Gibson’s holiday hit is officially titled The Butterfingers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut, & the Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree. This imaginative twist on tradition includes a narcissistic Pear Tree, a sinister tyrant king, and “wise” men who are anything but. Meanwhile, Mary and Joseph are hardly a match made in heaven. Or are they?
“This show captures the heart of the Christmas story, both the light and the darkness,” said Shelby Wyminga, who plays a spunky version of Mary. “Instead of stiff stereotypes, we get a glimpse into the way ordinary people handle extraordinary circumstances, from the naive newlyweds to the donkey who hates her job. “Beneath the laughter, this story also explores doubt and danger, hopes and fears — it’s sincere and relatable.” Paul Muir, a visiting artist from Alberta’s Rosebud Theatre, directs a cast of TWU actors and local children, who guest-star as the cutest collection of talking animals Langley has ever seen. With costumes by Mel Alpe, set by Margaret Toomey, and lighting by Graham Ockley, the visual world of
the play is as enchanting as Gibson’s script. Sponsored by GreatWest Life, Butterfingers Angel stars Uliana Akulenko, Ruby Alstad, MacKenzie Cameron, Charlotte Elgersma, Sage MacPherson, Ashlyn McCarthy, Kiara McCarthy, Favour Onwuka, Esther Owobowale, Teagan Plett, Sam Ravensbergen, Steven Simpson, Geoffrey Webb, and Shelby Wyminga. The show is stage managed by Elizabeth Drummond, Courtney Brice, and Mikayla Wust. Playing Nov. 18 to 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday, with discounted Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. Come on the second Tuesday for a Q&A talkback with the cast. For tickets and information, visit www.twu.ca/theatre or call 604-513-2121 extension 3872.

Langley actors Sam Ravensbergen and Shelby Wyminga star as Joseph and Mary in the TWU’s imaginative and entertaining Butterfingers Angel.
The annual Murrayville Town Pub charity auction on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and the Langley Child Development Centre is just around the corner. Held each November, the live auction features collectibles, sports memorabilia, toys and assorted other items that make ideal Christmas gifts. Over the years, the event has raised nearly half a million dollars for local charities, hospitals and community groups. This year’s auction takes place on Nov. 27, at 7 p.m. but patrons are encouraged to arrive early because seats fill up quickly. Anyone with items to donate for the auction is asked to call owner John Pybus at 604-856-4491. Items must be dropped off at the pub, at 22070 48A Ave. by Nov. 20.

It’s a boy! New addition brings a bit of blue Over the weekend we welcomed a new addition to our clan — a strapping, 18-pound baby boy. After living in a predominately estrogen-ruled household, where pink prevails — especially in the laundry basket — daddy finally has his little man. Like many conceptions, our new bambino was the result of a little too much vino. Well, kind of. After a couple glasses of merlot one evening, daddy, all glassy
eyed and merry, looked at me from across the dinner table and said the four little words I’d been waiting to hear. “Let’s get a dog.” Before he could take it back, our two daughters, Molly 5, and Zoe, 3, leapt out of their seats, jumping for joy. “Yay, we’re getting a dog, we’re getting a dog,” they both cheered in unison. “I’m not talking about right away...,” stammered Daddy, as the reality of his verbal slip-up sank in. “Maybe in a few
months...or, like next summer?” And so began our hunt for the ‘perfect’ pooch the very next day. Friends suggested we go the rescue-dog route, which meant filling out applications and meeting various furry fellas to see if they’d be the right fit. Our first meet and greet didn’t exactly go as planned. Bentley, a handsome one-year-old golden lab/basset hound was just a little too frisky for Zoe’s liking.
All he wanted to do was give kisses, jump up and do what young male dogs love to do to legs, teddy bears, pillows — I’m sure you get my drift. Sadly, his size and energy level terrified our canine-shy preschooler. During the meet and greet, we also discovered that the police were about to pull a car containing a dead body from the shore, adjacent to the dogwalk park. It looked like a crime scene straight out of CSI. “You might want to get your kids out of here right now — it’s going to be a gruesome scene,” said a police officer, who ushered crowd of spectators away. That afternoon we left without a dog, but promised a tearful Molly in the backseat that we wouldn’t give up on our search. “Honey, maybe the grisly police scene at the park was some sort of a sign that he’s not the one?” whispered

and Molly if he was the one. Both girls had their arms around him, giggling as he jumped up to gently greet them. “I’m not scared of him, mommy. He’s the perfect baby brother for us,” said Zoe, who was also clearly smitten. At that moment I whipped out my phone to take a photo and send it to daddy at work. “It’s a boy!,” I texted. Aside from a penchant for pooping in mommy’s office, Tucker is a perfect little pooch. As he gets more comfortable with his new surroundings, I’m sure he’ll get up to all kinds of trouble, which will make great fodder for future Pink Laundry columns.

Powerhouse of piano crosses the globe to grace Rose Gellert Hall stage All the way from the Netherlands, the “Powerhouse of Piano,” acclaimed Dutch pianist and composer Jeroen Van Veen, comes to Langley Community Music School (LCMS) to perform in the Concerts Café Classico concert series on Sunday, Nov. 16, followed by a free workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Renowned for his minimalist style and flawless passion, the “intellectually interesting and emotionally gratifying” performances of Jeroen Van Veen continue to be heralded by critics. the New York Times declared one of his recent projects “the best recording ever.” Van Veen has toured the globe performing minimal music with crossover flavours of jazz, blues, soundscape, avant-garde, techno, trance and pop. He has produced more than 100 CDs and has been featured on radio and television in Europe, Asia and America. Currently touring Canada, Van Veen will return to Langley to treat the Concerts Café Classico audience to the music from his latest CDs, featuring composers such as Philip Glass, Arvo Part, Ludovico Einaudi, Douwe Eisenga, JacobTV, as well as his own original compositions.

Dutch pianist and composer Jeroen Van Veen performs at LCMS on Sunday, Nov. 16. The event starts at 2:30 p.m., with a conversation with Van Veen, hosted by LCMS artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann. Listen to some anecdotal stories, gain some insight into life as a world-traveling performer, and learn the meaning behind the music. There will be a short break with coffee and refreshments,
before the performance, which takes place from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. “We are thrilled to welcome Jeroen back to Langley,” said Bergmann. “To great acclaim, he performed at our Pulse summer music festival in July, 2011. “I look forward to chatting with him in the pre-concert talk about his musical insights on the works he will be performing.” “I strongly believe that minimalism has the potential to bring new audiences into concert halls,” said Van Veen. “It can restore in listeners a healthy sense of pulse and warmth, and an enjoyment for the richness of sound.” In addition to the concert, Van Veen invites the public to a free interactive workshop on Tuesday Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. to explore this modern, yet romantic, minimal music style. To learn more about Jeroen Van Veen, visit his website at www.jeroenvanveen.com. Tickets for this Concerts Café Classico event are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and $10 for students.

Hilltops rout Rams in Canadian Bowl FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS, SASKATOON DENIES LANGLEY A CANADIAN JUNIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP G ARY AH U J A Tim e s Spo r t s
Different story, but same result. For the second time in three seasons, the Saskatoon Hilltops have stopped the Langley Rams in their quest for a Canadian national junior football championship. Two years ago, it was the Hilltops using a second-half rally to win 23-21. But on Saturday afternoon at McLeod Athletic Park, Saskatoon dominated from start to finish to capture their fourth national championship in five seasons and 17th overall. The Hilltops led 8-7 after one quarter before adding 17 points in the second quarter to take a commanding lead. The end result was a 39-14 Saskatoon victory. “Langley is a physical and aggressive football team but our coaches did a good job of figuring out what we needed to do and then we went out there and did it,” said Saskatoon head coach Tom Sargeant. “We stumbled a little bit in the first quarter, but we always kept striving to get better and do more.” The Hilltops took advantage of their opportunities. On Langley’s second possession, Nathan Lund coughed up the ball on his own 14-yard line. Two plays later, Hilltops quarterback Jared Andreychuk ran the ball in for the game’s opening points. After a punt single made the score 8-0, the Rams got on the board with a touchdown catch from Malcolm Williams. Williams caught the ball from Jordan McCarty in the middle of the field and broke a few tackles before getting into the end zone. The Hilltops made the score 11-7 and then took advantage of a McCarty interception, bringing the ball back to the Langley 30 yard line. Logan Fischer ran the ball in from 12 yards out. Later in the quarter, the Rams were stopped for the second time in the game on a third-and-short gamble and the Hilltops made the score 25-7 at the half on a Evan Kopchynski touchdown catch. The second half saw Evan Turkington catch a pair of touchdown passes to make it 39-7 before Williams had his second receiving major, this time from Dylan Tucker.
Tucker took over at quarterback in the third quarter after McCarty was knocked from the game. In addition to the fumble and interception, the Rams had four turnovers on downs: two on third-and-short gambles, a fake punt and then another third-down gamble when Langley had no choice but to go for it. “Early penalties, turnovers and inexperience for a lot of young guys in the game, and it showed,” said Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda. “We went up to Okanagan (in the BCFC final) with no pressure, just the fight in us. When we came out here, we were loose, but right before kick-off, I said to (one of our coaches) we had tightened up, and it showed.” Another big difference in the game was the line of scrimmage, as the Rams had trouble getting their running game going as well as generate pressure on Andreychuk on the defensive side. “We have had an ability all year to control the line of scrimmage and today, we couldn’t do it, and that was a factor,” Alamolhoda said. “(But) we gained some valuable experience for the next time we are out here, and we will be (back).” Tucker finished 19-for-22 for 232 yards while McCarty was 10-for-17 for 154 yards. For the Hilltops, Andreychuk was 17for-27 for 343 yards while Turkington was named offensive player of the game with five catches for 131 yards. Williams led the Rams receivers with six catches for 134 yards. Saskatoon’s Dylan Larson was named defensive player of the game as he had eight tackles and one assist, as well as three special teams tackles. Brandon Klein led the Rams defence with four tackles and two quarterback sacks. Langley’s Charles Scott and Luke Andrews each had four tackles. ••• At Friday night’s Jostens banquet of champions, the Rams’ Ethan Schulz was named the national rookie of the year. Schulz had 23 tackles, 14 assist, four sacks, one forced fumble, four fumble recoveries, one touchdown and one interception during the regular season.

Spartans bid G A RY A HUJA Time s Spo rts
The Trinity Western Spartans bid for history was denied. Seeking to become the first Canadian women’s university soccer program to win three consecutive CIS national championships — as well as the first to win six Gladys Bean Memorial trophies — the Spartans lost 5-0 to the Laval Rouge et Or on Sunday afternoon in Quebec City. The game was played at Laval’s Telus-Universite Laval Stadium. “It’s a tough result, you (have) to give credit to Laval, they were excellent,� said Spartans coach Gra-
ham Roxburgh. “We didn’t play very well today and it’s probably the part that we are most disappointed with. “We didn’t give them a game. They were clinical and we knew that if we didn’t defend well, they had weapons and those weapons showed today.� Laval was up 2-0 at the half with goals from Joelle Gosselin and Gabrielle Lapointe. Gosselin added two more in the second half and Melissande Guy rounded out the scoring. Both teams had seven shots on goal and opportunities to score

for history denied in finals but Laval’s Marie-Joelle Vandal stopped everything she faced. “Twenty years, it’s a long time, but the feeling is incredible,” said Laval coach Helder Duarte. “To win in that fashion, against the best team in the country, it’s fantastic. “The girls peaked at the right time, they were extraordinary. I knew we were capable of playing well, but I also knew there were a lot of emotions that could play against us. We did everything we thought we had to do to get them ready, and it worked.” Laval became the first-ever Quebec team to win the Gladys Bean Memorial trophy. The Spartans had defeated the Ontario Institute of Technology Ridgebacks 4-1 in the quarter-finals and the Ottawa Gee-Gees 4-0 in the semifinals. In the first game, Vanessa Kovacs had a pair of goals while in the second, Krista Gommeringer scored twice.

Knights snap streak The Langley Knights snapped their longest winless streak of the season, downing the Port Moody Panthers 7-3 on Saturday night. The Knights had gone four games without a victory (0-3-0-1) before winning at the Port Moody Arena. Langley had lost 5-4 in overtime the game before to the Richmond Sockeyes on Nov. 6 at the Minoru Arena. Colin Catchpole led the junior B hockey team against Port Moody, with three goals and an assist while Jackson Surbey had a goal and two helpers. Levi De Waal chipped in with three assists and Donovan Shambeau scored twice and set up one other. Against Richmond,
the Knights were up 4-1 after 40 minutes. Catchpole, De Waal, Surbey and Dylan McCann each had a goal and an assist in the loss. The Knights lead the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference with a record of 10-6-1-1 and 22 points. The team is back in action when they complete their home-andhome series with Port Moody at the George Preston Recreation Centre on Thursday. ••• Two wins in three games last week helped the Aldergrove Kodiaks snapped a nine-game winless streak. The Kodiaks improved to 5-7-2-4 after edging the Richmond Sockeyes 2-1 in overtime on Wednesday and the
Grandview Steelers 2-1 in regulation on Sunday. Sandwiched in between was a 6-1 loss to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Saturday.

John loved well, read widely, and had an incredible gift of recall. He was a good apologizer and an expert napper. He appreciated a good joke, good directions, and a morning at Green Lake. He had many interests, but his heart remained at “The Farm” and over the years he got much pleasure from it, especially that summer in the 1970s when his Jersey cow, Peter Lorre, gave enough milk to make 32 flavours of ice cream. He was a member of the Osler Society of Vancouver, President of the BC Simmental Association, director of the Canadian Simmental Association, longtime member of the Williams Lake Bull Sale Committee, and a board member of the Otter Farmer’s Institute --the Coop -- for nine years, some of them as president. John is survived by his wife Kathryn Mary (MacKinnon) Watt and his children and grandchildren: Beth (Peter Vieira) Duncan and John; Heather; Hugh (Sandy) Jack, Finn, and Kate; Jane (Greg Antle) Tom, Georgie, and Will; Bruce (Tammy Jackman) and his daughter Mary McNamee and her mother Pauline in Ireland; Maggie (Alan MacInnes) Joe, Calum, and Coll. He thought of Bo Hedges as an honourary son. His family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses at VGH and LMH who had a role in his care over the years for their excellence, compassion, and ability to share a laugh as they went about their day. Honour John by paying a visit to a friend. A celebration of his life will be held at Langley Golf Centre, 21550 44 Ave, Langley on November 15th at noon. In lieu of flowers, donations to UBC’s John G. Watt Memorial Fund would be appreciated. See http:// memorial.supporting.ubc.ca/john-g-watt/

He grew up near 47th and Fraser in Vancouver, with rich ties to his mother’s ranching family in the Cariboo, originally in Empire Valley, west of the Fraser River, and later at 57 Mile House and in Clinton. He attended John Oliver High School and graduated from medical school at UBC in 1956. Taking his new bride, he began a rotating internship that summer at Lloyd Noland Hospital in Fairfield Alabama. After much consideration, he decided to become an orthopedic surgeon, completing his residency at UBC and his Royal College exam in 1962, and entering practice the following year, with his office at Hycroft Medical until 1989. He taught medical students and orthopedic residents for almost thirty years and was a common caricature on skits night. He loved the community of VGH.
