Respect a vet, debate the war EVEEDMONDS Editor

EDITORRICHMONDNEWS.COM

T

he first 11 days of November tend to be consumed with all things Remembrance here at the Richmond News.

Once the Halloween features are but a ghost of the past, and we’ve wrapped up the spooky season with a show of some particularly gruesome/clever costumes, we’re on to thinking of how best to mark Remembrance Day. In today’s paper, you’ll read a moving feature about a group of high school students who went to Normandy to track down the grave of a Richmond soldier, only a few years older than themselves when killed.

Our Flashback Friday features a story about a Richmond soldier who fought in the First World War. As well, we have interviews with this year’s Silver Cross mother and Honoured Veteran. On the actual day, Wednesday, we are running a powerful letter from a young soldier to his mother written in 1944, shared with us by his granddaughter.

I don’t question the need to dedicate this time and energy, not to mention editorial space, to honouring our past. In fact, it’s a ... well, pleasure isn’t the right word, but it’s rich with meaning as it affords time to stop and contemplate a dramatic time in our history.

It takes me out of myself as I reflect on the reality of cold, scared soldiers in the trenches, bombed-out civilians, orphaned children, as well as moments of humanity and heroism.

I also think of the political and economic factors that gave rise to such momentous and disastrous events and the mindset that contributed to it — which brings me to the issue of wearing a poppy.

There has been a string of media reports about certain celebrities being lambasted for refusing to wear poppies in public. Hardly a celebrity, but I, too, feel a certain pressure to don the red symbol. Thankfully, I’m happy to do it as it helps me feel connected to a larger historic narrative. It evokes a sense of awe for what others have gone through and continue to go through as war continues to rage in certain parts of the world.

That said, I certainly respect others’ choice to not wear a poppy. For them, it may be seen as a glorification of war, an endorsement of a military response to political situations, a celebration of nationalism.

And they have a point.

The poppy emerged as a commemorative symbol after the First World War — a war that, it can be argued, was more about defending king and country than freedom and democracy. However, if we are going to view the poppy today as a symbol of liberation and free thought, then insisting on conformity seems ironic to say the least. In fact, if we aim to respect our vets, the last thing we should do is simplify the complex factors that lead to war and stifle critical thinking that challenges the symbol of the poppy.

t 3 am on Sunday, November 1 st, on empty streets lit intermittently by the stylish signage and window displays along South Granville, a motor vehicle accident propelled the rear end of an ambulance through the glass corner of the Plum clothing store on the northwest corner of Granville Street and West 12th Avenue, and almost the whole front of a white stretch limousine in who-knowshow-many directions.

Hours later the Granville blocks straddling the crash site were still closed off, barricaded by police cars and yellow tape and all the usual markers of a horror on the road. And the few curious passers-by were no doubt haunted by the quiet of it all as the police methodically went about the business of photographing and measuring the aftermath in an effort to reconstruct the chain of events that lead to this macabre and weird result.

Fortunately there were no passengers in the limousine and the ambulance was on the way to a call. At the time of writing it is not known whether or not the ambulance was travelling with its flashers and siren activated. Media reports say the limousine driver and the paramedics were taken to hospital for minor injuries and checkups respectively.

So the tragedy of serious injury or fatality was avoided, thanks in part no doubt to the size of the vehicles involved and, presumably, the moderate, urban-limit speeds at which both were traveling. This comment may be subject to correction as more information emerges.

The hallelujah went from a crescendo to a diminuendo as I thought about the enforcement, or lack of enforcement, of the tree bylaw.

Reuse, reduce, recycle, sustainable, reduced ecological footprint… all empty words unless they serve as impetus to leap into action.

And this is a small leap.

There seems to be nothing with any teeth to slow this tsunami of waste. Better late than never and better a small leap than none at all, I pacified myself.

Is the refundable $5,000 fee (for an average 2,500 square-foot house) going to be incentive enough when at

the other end the developer/ builder considers mechanical demolition costs, low landfill fees and more time and labour costs. Perhaps coordination with increased landfill dumping fees and dumping restrictions should be part of the solution.

If we must destroy every standing house, ageing or not, at the very least council acknowledged that something must be done about demolition waste and the city has now taken a step that can be perceived as something is being done (at least on paper).

Dear Editor, Re: “Inspector Recycle to be hired by city,” News, Oct. 28.

“Hallelujah! It’s about time,” I thought as I read the News’ story about the city hiring an inspector to curb demolition waste.

Hopefully, I raced through the article, only to come to a screeching halt…. “a $250 non-refundable fee ...” (Is that a typo?) “... and $2 per square-foot of demolished floor space that will be refunded if builder meets the 70 per cent threshold.”

This bylaw, “a compromise with builders,” will pay for one new inspector.

LETTERSto the Editor

The initial speculation is that the limousine traveling north-bound on Granville Street ‘T-boned’ the ambulance traveling westbound on 12 th Avenue through the intersection, at least according to an unnamed witness. The critical issue will be the colour of the traffic control signal lights for each vehicle.

The force of the impact presumably to the left back half of the ambulance spiralled it around driving the right back corner through the large glass windows of the heritage building on the corner. The force of the impact also spiralled around the limousine. The extent of the damage to the building structure seems to have been minimal, according to an assessment

by Vancouver firefighters—façade-only damage.

Dear Editor, We all wear poppies on Nov. 11 to commemorate the end of the “War to End all Wars.” What a joke!

Meanwhile, in just the past year, Canadian fighter planes were dispatched to kill and be killed, while our former prime minister was doing his best to convince us of imminent terrorist attacks.

Every Nov. 11, we listen to funeral music and lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He wasn’t really unknown, he was a brother, son, father or husband to people who loved him. We also solemnly lay wreaths on the steps of cenotaphs.

The old veterans of one war or another (you choose)

march with haunted eyes and memories they can’t forget.

But by Nov. 12, the poppies are trampled underfoot and the “War to End all Wars” is forgotten for another year.

The munitions makers are doing a booming business in readiness for the next conflict.

So what with the empty streets and stores and the passenger-less vehicles, the outcome was relatively, and fortunately, unserious in terms of human suffering, leaving an opening for the media to have some fun with the cartoonish aspects: “only the mannequins were injured”; “not the sort of door-crasher the [store] …had in mind, when staff hung a large sale sign in the front window” etc.

Nevertheless it remains oddly disturbing that the narrow avoidance of out-and-out disaster by two vehicles operated by professional drivers on reasonably well-lit, traffic-less streets should be cause for anything but thankful reflection.

And certainly there should be no lessening of effort to find out what caused such a serious miscalculation or substandard driving by a specially qualified driver.

All crashes are ‘object lessons’. T-bone intersection crashes are common, often resulting in fatality or serious injury. The cause of this particular example will be explained after the investigation is complete, unless there are no reliable independent witnesses, no other independent evidence – engineering or otherwise – and the drivers both claim to have had a green or amber light on entry into the intersection.

LETTERSto the Editor

Oh, the humanities Voting age change lacks merit

Cabs scarce

Dear Editor, It has recently come to my attention the course Humanities 11 will be cancelled.

As a student who has been anticipating this course, I am worried that the consequences of this decision will be detrimental, not only to my education, but to education as a whole.

You may be aware the Humanities 11 course is comprised of the units for the world wars, as well as world government and Canadian politics.

The ministry of education is splitting these units into specific courses, but are completely disposing of the governmental unit.

As one of numerous students who took part in the student vote this year, I became interested in how our government and politics work, and now the course in which I would be learning this content will no longer be available.

I’d very much like to know why the ministry is cancelling a course that teaches us how our country works and how to make valuable decisions for our nation in the future.

As aforementioned, Humanities 11 also teaches us about the world wars, but now all of that content will be shifted down to the younger grades and, frankly, their minds will not be mature or developed enough to manage that type of sombre content.

With the addition of content from higher grades, coupled with the current material they already have, there is simply too much information to truly go into any depth.

I feel this change will diminish the education of students rather than improve it.

So, why on Earth would the ministry make (in my opinion) this kind of senseless decision?

Isidora Chan Richmond

Dear Editor, I’m not sure why a few of the legion patrons, including myself, a senior citizen, were left stranded on Halloween night.

We had called for a cab a few hours ahead and none came.

Plus, we did not receive a call back stating that they were too busy or there weren’t enough cabs.

This is not the first time I have been left stranded in the evening without taxi service. I also realized that my many rides in the Steveston area are short trips for the cabs, which they avoid as much as possible.

My concern is when will this change? It is not acceptable to live in a thriving city that does not protect us and give us proper cab service.

Bonnie Nishi Richmond

Dear Editor, While I applaud Allison Carver for her recent letter to the Richmond News, (Youth yearns for voting change, Letters Oct. 30) I must fundamentally oppose the poorly thought out idea to lower the voting age.

Only 10 years ago I was nearly the same age as Miss Carver, an eager student who followed political and world affairs with great interest. Much like her, I knew of many adults who couldn’t care less. Likewise, I also knew of many peers who were uninterested by the subject and found it rather dull.

I was fortunate to have a network of other like-minded grade school students, where the subject regarding the voting age would come up, and I consistently found myself opposed to lowering it. I support the Student Vote process that Elections Canada carries out at schools across the nation.

It instills the significance of our democratic freedom to vote and is educational in terms of the process. Yet, it is important to realize that we should not, “take

advantage of how teenagers already have their beliefs…” because at such an age such thoughts and opinions are fluid. I strongly contest Miss Carver’s notion that when a child transitions into adulthood, “they already have their beliefs set into place.” The point of education and critical thinking is so that we can challenge all beliefs, opinions, and statements. As we age, we will learn through knowledge and experience, we will question and adapt our thinking based on numerous factors.

I was idealistic as a youth; I’d like to think I still am.

Nevertheless, I’ve realized that some notions I once held are not feasible. There is always a trade off and price to pay for every decision and as we grow we try to evaluate what is best for oneself, family, friends, and the communities where we live.

Upon turning 18, many young adults are going to university, or finding work, and leaving behind the comfort and shelter of their parents and family. It might take some time to figure

out what works for each person separately, but these experiences will certainly challenge our perceptions and beliefs. Voting is no light matter, it is important to prepare young Canadians so they are ready to exercise this duty when they become a legal adult.

Furthermore, I would advise against using Brazil and Cuba as ideal examples to follow. Cuba remains a communist dictatorship ruled by the Castro brothers.

Presently, protests have been occurring throughout the year all across Brazil in opposition to the corruption of the current Rousseff government. The voting age in those countries might be lower, but it does nothing to inspire confidence in the democratic processes of either systems.

‘Pointless’ idea for pier at the park Dear Editor, Re: “Pier pressure at Garry Pt.,” News, Oct. 30. A Pier at the Point? Of all the things I’ve read in this paper that made me mad enough to want to write a letter, this insanity being pursued by Coun. Bill McNulty is what finally did it.

He seems intent that what Garry Point really needs is a giant pier, to go along with the giant pilings that have already done much to destroy one of the only ocean views left in the region. So many of us enjoy that beach on a daily basis.

We go there to enjoy the feel of the sun and wind on our faces, to hear our own thoughts, and to see the waves on the beach.

I suspect I’m not the only one who believes that nature is the ultimate designer, and who do not want to see Garry Point Park ruined by the installation of what will surely be a giant eyesore.

Why is this city so intent on ruining everything that made this place so charming and

so naturally stunning?

Why does council continuously support rampant development of generic retail shops, concrete wastelands and tacky monster “homes” that don’t appear to actually contain any life forms? It seems obvious to me that I and those of us citizens who feel the same way and who actually pay taxes and support the local economy year round are clearly not as important to this council as tourists who are likely only here for a day.

I moved here from Kitsilano years ago when that place changed from a charming and quirky spot to a hectic generic chain store ghetto, and now Steveston is fast following that same pattern of destruction.

Perhaps Mr. McNulty and others who share this “improvements” affliction might benefit from spending some quiet, alone time sitting on the beach at Garry Point, while they still can.

Indoor market a better choice Dear Editor, I personally think an indoor, community market would be a better option for Steveston than an Urban Fare-type grocery store. There are several reasons for that.

A market can become a place for inexpensive and healthy food choices. This could attract younger people to Steveston, since many high school students go to Steveston to buy lunches.

A market usually offers healthier food choices than a supermarket, which carries

commercially packaged foods, while market foods are local and fresh. It could also bring more tourists. Other places in Vancouver that have community markets, such as Granville Island and Lonsdale Quay, are big tourist attractions.

Of course, the best option for Steveston would be the one chosen by the community, and for that a more detailed research will be needed.

To BIA or not to BIA?

That is the question Steveston merchants must answer as the village debate kicks off again ALANCAMPBELL Staff Reporter

who owns Sugar Art, Rick Germain, who owns Original Pure Water Shoppe, and Jerry Biggar, who owns Steveston Landing, which houses 12 businesses, including Shady Island and Sockeye City restaurants and Pierhouse Deli.

“If you want to be a member of Tourism Richmond and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, then you have a choice whether you want to join or not,” said Biggar.

“Shady Island is a member of Tourism Vancouver because that makes good business sense for us. This (process) is not democratic; not for small businesses who work on a dayto-day basis with small margins. They should have the option to join or not join.”

t’s that time of the year again — leaves falling off the trees, Christmas ads filtering onto TV and the theatre of a Steveston BIA formation stirring the audience of an otherwise harmonious, seaside village.

The cast that makes up the Business Improvement Area (BIA) production is rehearsing for its biennial push for, and resistance to, a formal body, which would advocate for local merchants, courtesy of a mandatory levy.

efore council can allow the SMA to hold a vote for a BIA to be formed, the SMA must conduct proper outreach, which means meetings, big and small, one to ones etc.

Once satisfied, council can give the SMA the go-ahead to call a formal meeting, invite the local business community and hold a vote on the issue, with each property owner getting one vote.

However, it’s a vote that shouldn’t even be entertained, according to Jarry, who has owned Sugar Art on First Avenue for 15 years.

“Two years ago, the majority of the merchants in Steveston, 120 or so out of about 200, signed a petition saying no to this,” said Jarry.

“They still don’t have the support of the merchants, so they go around us and straight to city council. That’s what it looks like to me.”

Like many in the “no” camp, Jarry feels the desire for a BIA has been triggered by a small group who “do not represent the village.”

“The SMA membership is very, very low and the (BIA) levy would be passed down to the tenants and most of them are small businesses; they don’t like the thought of a mandatory levy for something they don’t want in the first place. Many don’t feel they would benefit from a BIA.”

Germain, owner of the Original Pure Water Shoppe on Chatham Street, said it comes down to the idea of people doing something of their own volition.

“This is a cabal of merchants who perceive a variety of benefits from the formation of a BIA. And I’ve no doubt it might be good for them, but not for all of us, including me and many others,” said Germain.

V

an der Tas said the misinformation about what a BIA levy is used for, and who is going to benefit, is a challenge.

“Everything is above board, budgeted, transparent and won’t cost thousands and thousands of dollars each,” he said.

“Something say the size of the Original Sausage Haus would likely pay around $240 per year; which is not an onerous number.”

Responding to the accusation that he’s part of a small group pushing their own interests on the village, van der Tas cited the former Dunbar Business Association in Vancouver, which many years ago scraped through a vote to form a BIA by a tiny margin.

“After five years, they’re duty-bound to have another vote; around 90 per cent said yes recently,” he said. “(A BIA’s) sole purpose is take a business commercial district and attract more customers, bring the community together and support the businesses that are in the area.”

When is someone a spouse?

In any relationship, it is unpredictable whether the people will make Wills. If they do, the surviving spouse will need to know whether assets are bequeathed to them, especially the home in which the couple lived.

Can the surviving spouse stay in it? Often, the surviving spouse will have to consider varying the Will, because they are either disinherited or left an inadequate part of the Estate.

Last month, reasons were released in the case Neufeld v. Dafoe, in which the surviving “spouse” (Plaintiff) needed to get a Court Order that she was indeed a “spouse”, so that she could seek to vary the deceased spouse’s Will. (Remember, in B.C., only children and spouses of the deceased can try to vary the Will.)

I take the time to listen to my clients’ needs and work diligently to achieve them, one client at a time.

The Plaintiff succeeded in proving she was a spouse. She lived under the same roof, the relationship was sexual and the Plaintiff became a caregiver after the deceased was diagnosed with cancer. In the eyes of the Court, they had a spousal relationship.

Thus the Plaintiff sought to vary the Will, and the Court granted her a 37% share of the Estate. Of course, an Estate plan would have been preferable, but at least the Plaintiff got a seemingly just result.

Police patrols upped after snatchings R

ichmond RCMP are on the hunt for a group of purse-snatchers they believe are targeting young Asian women.

Police have responded to two separate purse thefts during the last three days, on Nov. 2 and 3.

“The thefts occurred between the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. in the downtown corridor of Richmond,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang.

“The victims are Asian women in their 20s who were walking alone.

The suspects allegedly approached their victims from behind and

grabbed their purses before fleeing on foot.

“One of the victims was dragged a short distance before she was able to release her purse. Luckily, the victims were not seriously injured. We are lead to believe that both thefts are connected and that multiple suspects are involved.”

At least two of the suspects are described as Caucasian males in their twenties.

“Investigators from our Serious Crime Unit have taken custody of these cases,” added Hwang.

“Our investigators are canvassing a wide area for additional evidence including surveillance footage.

“We are coordinating with our fellow law enforcement agencies to share intelligence.”

Police have enhanced patrols in the downtown core from and are asking the public for additional information on these crimes to come forward.

If you have any information on this crime, contact Const. Shin at 604-278-1212. To leave a tip, email Richmond_Tips@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Cyclist killed after vehicle collision

ichmond RCMP is investigating a fatal collision involving a cyclist and commercial vehicle.

Richmond Mounties responded to the 4,000 block of Ferguson Road, on the north side of Sea Island, just before 12:30 p.m. on Thursday to investigate reports of a collision between a cyclist and a commercial vehicle.

The cyclist has since succumbed to their injuries.

The Richmond RCMP Road Safety Unit has taken over the investigation and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) will be assisting.

Ferguson Road was expected to be closed for the several hours on Thursday afternoon.

ichmond residents will see little noticeable difference in their net utility rates for 2016.

“Overall, the rate increases are fairly modest, and in many cases efficiencies have helped reduce or hold the line on costs. And yet we’ve still been able to make some major service improvements,” said City of Richmond spokesperson Ted Townsend.

For instance, a singlefamily home on a water meter will see just a $5.55 increase on its $1,114 annual bill. Townhouse residents will save $10.

The utility bill pays for services such as sewers, water delivery, garbage collection, recycling, and drainage and dyke maintenance.

Next year will mark the first time residents can choose to save a few bucks by reducing their garbage production.

The city will soon be asking residents of single-family homes, townhouses and secondary suites what size of city-sanctioned garbage can they want delivered to their residence.

The standard size (singlefamily homes) is 240-litres, however to save $12.50,

residents can choose a 120-litre bin. Going smaller, to 80-litres, saves $23. On the flip side, a 360-litre bin comes with a $90 surcharge.

Rates are roughly 15 per cent cheaper for townhouses.

“This provides an incentive for people to reduce their waste stream through recycling,” noted Townsend.

Once the new, green cans are delivered, the city will transition to bi-weekly collection (costs are offset by organic waste collection).

The city has applied an overall tab of an additional $1 million in order to fund necessary sewer repairs and upgrades while maintaining the rates at essentially the status quo.

Townsend said there had been a funding gap in that area.

In 2016, close to half of the 4,766 single-family homes paying a flat water rate will transition to water meters.

The city will collect utility bills from 2,772 new residences, bringing the total to 74,537 dwellings.

Meanwhile, commercial units only increased by 100.

Date with Diwali P eople of all ages and cultures in Richmond are invited to experience India’s biggest and most important holiday of the year — Diwali.

This Festival of Lights is being held at the Richmond

Cultural Centre this Sunday, Nov. 8 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. The free, family-friendly event will feature Indian dance performances, storytelling, music and refreshments.

ceremonies on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Richmond City Hall, 6911 No. 3 Rd. “Wearing a poppy, purchased by donation, is a way to salute and commemorate all the Canadians who perished during times of war,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

" Military parade

A military parade will start marching at 10:20 a.m. towards the cenotaph, which is located on the east side of city hall.

The parade includes the Royal Canadian Legion, Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Association members, Richmond’s permanent Canadian Forces Unit 39 Service Battalion and representation from public safety agencies and cadet organizations.

When the service ends, the public is invited to a Remembrance Day reception in the City Hall Galleria.

During this time, there will be restricted road access to the following roadways: " Granville Avenue will be closed in both directions from Minoru Boulevard to Buswell Street; " No. 3 Road will be closed in both directions from Park Road to Bennett Road.

History of the poppy Although the focal point of Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae’s 1915 poem In Flanders Fields, the poppy was prevelant over the graves of soldiers as early as the 19th century after the Napoleonic Wars. The practice of wearing a poppy in Canada only became custom in 1920, when an American teacher made a personal pledge, after reading the poem, to always wear a poppy as a sign of Remembrance. It was then, in 1921, officially adopted by the Great War Veteran’s Association in Canada.

A time to show respect, says 2015 honoured vet PHILIPRAPHAEL Staff Reporter

estled in a busy engine room about 60 feet below the waterline of a 320-footlong, River-class destroyer, cruising the perilous waters of the North Atlantic during the Second World War, Steveston’s Walter Taylor said he never really had time to be afraid.

Taylor, 89, was a stoker. His task was to tend to his vessel’s massive boilers that supplied steam for the turbines.

“I never thought too much about what went on topside,” said Taylor, this year’s honoured veteran for the Remembrance Day service in Richmond. “I knew there were dangers while we patrolled the waters as part of a convoy, looking for submarines. But I never thought about us being sunk. It was more like the opposite — we’d drop a bunch of depth charges and let someone else worry about it.”

Taylor was just 17 when he left the family farm in Nelson and joined the Royal Canadian Navy, serving aboard three different destroyers — Iroquois, St. Laurent and Ottawa — during his three-year stint which involved about nine crossings of the North Atlantic, protecting cargo ships ferrying supplies for the war effort.

“I guess I was looking for an adventure,” Taylor said, when asked why he decided to join up.

“Too young and fearless to know better, more like,” added his wife of 68 years, Jean.

Taylor’s father joined the army and served in the First World War, then tried to sign up for

the Second World War, but was told he was too old for active service.

“They told him to go home,” Taylor said with a broad smile. “I had great respect for my father. He taught me a lot.”

That was another reason why a young Taylor chose to serve. It’s something he is proud to look back on and to share memories with his sons and grandchildren each Nov. 11.

“Being at the Armistice Day service — that’s what I was used to calling it — sitting there with my family makes me feel that much closer to them,” he said. “I know the efforts I made during the war were for them, and it’s nice that they are thinking of the sacrifices other people made, too.

“A lot of other people didn’t make it, and I sometimes wonder why I did.”

Much of the time Taylor was aboard a destroyer, he felt separated from the action from up top, although he does recall on the odd occasion where he’d be on the deck and able to see ships in his convoy several miles away — almost specks on the horizon.

“You’d see them and then sometimes they were gone,” he said. “And when a ship alongside you goes down, it really gets your attention that this was a very dangerous place to be.”

Apart from helping make sure the ship had power on demand, Taylor remembers the muster station he had to man during emergencies.

He pointed to one of the black and white photographs on his den wall where all three destroyers are featured, indicating the spot just below the forward, main gun.

“That was my place. I had to man a rope that pulled up the shells for the gun from down below,” he said. “They (shells) must have been a few feet tall.

And when they were fired, they made a tremendous noise.

“That’s why I wear these now,” he added, putting a finger to one of his ears and his hearing aid. “Still, I never remember being bored, ever. There was always plenty to do.”

After the war, Taylor returned home and attended UBC for two years before going back to the Kootenays and joining West Kootenay Power and Light, where he worked for close to 45 years, running power control systems.

He met Jean shortly after being demobbed when her brother, a Canadian sailor, as well, introduced them.

Soldier No. 790031 ‘killed in action’ MATTHOEKSTRA Contributor

T

he spring season was just a few days old when James Arthur Hayne walked into an army recruiting office in New Westminster.

Hayne, a 24-year-old Steveston fisherman, was ready to serve Canada in the biggest fight the fledgling country had ever faced.

Today, Hayne’s name is on the Richmond cenotaph — a memorial to Richmond’s fallen soldiers.

It was March 1916, and Hayne was one of thousands of young men answering the call for soldiers to fight in the First World War battlefields of Europe. Canadian troops had already been introduced to the horrors of trench warfare in France and its dirt, disease and death, but Hayne was undeterred.

His signed attestation paper, on file at Library and Archives Canada, tells the story of a fit, young man, who married less than two years earlier.

“Do you understand the nature and terms of your engagement?” the enlistment form asked. Hayne responded with neat penmanship: “Yes.” He joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force and left for England on Nov. 1, 1916, leaving his wife and two young children, Gordon and Mary Frances, behind. Within a month, he was in France.

By that time, the November rains had turned battlefields into bogs. Allies had already suffered countless casualties in the

war of attrition against Germany, and an estimated 200,000 soldiers on both sides had been killed.

Hayne reached the front lines on Dec. 19, 1916, according to Bruce MacDonald, a retired high school teacher and researcher, who is documenting war histories of veterans from Hayne’s birthplace in Nova Scotia.

“It wasn›t long before Arthur and his inexperienced companions received their first taste of life at the front. The battalion war diary reported ‘considerable sniping [but] little shelling’ the day after their arrival in the trenches,” noted MacDonald, whose book First World War Honour Roll of Guysborough County, Nova Scotia is due out this month.

Winter slowed the fighting, but a new offensive began in the spring of 1917. On March 31, Hayne was handpicked to join a night raid on German trenches. Allied soldiers faced heavy fire throughout the half-hour attack. They retreated and began counting: seven dead, eight missing and 43 wounded — including Hayne.

The fisherman had been shot in the cheek.

But the injury wasn’t serious and four days later Hayne returned to the battlefield. Then came May 1, 1917. It was a quiet day for Hayne’s battalion, according to MacDonald, except for one casualty recorded in a war diary: “790031 killed in action.”

“The 47th Battalion’s war diary offers no insight into the circumstances of Pte. James Arthur Hayne’s death. Perhaps he was a victim of the intermittent gunfire exchanged along the front lines. He may have been shot by a German sniper,” noted MacDonald.

650 000 Hayne was among the more than 650,000 Canadians who served in the four-year war — 66,000 were killed, including 28 from Richmond, whose names are memorialized on the No. 3 Road cenotaph.

Little is known about these men, something the late researcher Mary Keen sought to change with her 1998 book We Will Remember Them. The book is a tribute to Richmond’s fallen soldiers, men who deserve to be remembered by more than their immediate families, she wrote.

Each Nov. 11, the community indeed

" James Arthur Hayne (left) in a photo taken sometime before he enlisted to fight in the First World War. (Above) His wife, Lilly Hayne, with children Gordon and Mary, pose for a Christmas card portrait in 1917, the same year her husband died on the battlefields of Europe. Photos

remembers, but in her book, Keen wondered how many who gather at Remembrance Day ceremonies reflect on the lives behind the names inscribed on the cenotaph.

“Some were heroes, a few saw an opportunity to change their humdrum lives, many were family men whose children would never know their father, but all had one fact in common, they died for their country, Canada.”

“It was good for us to see it. You read all about these wars and think ‘okay that happened.’ But when we walked along the cemetery, there are rows and rows of graves, and you think, ‘wow, all these people died.’ It was good to see the physical effects of the war and not just read about it,” said student Mark Cam, who read a poem, Our Boys, at the cemetery in front of the entire group.

The poem draws parallels between the students’ lives and that which Bowcock experienced.

“It described all the ordinary events of what a child would do, but, because of what happened in the Second World, War, they weren’t able to do these things anymore. It’s kind of like their childhood was taken. We related it to students like ourselves who would have enlisted to go to war,” said Cam. Classmate Josh Yang agreed.

“It was very emotional knowing all these people near to my age were actually at war.

And to know they died for our country,” said Yang.

rench teacher Marina Carter was one of the organizers of the trip.

Aside from setting foot on the beaches,

Carter said one of the more emotional moments was when the students visited the Juno Beach Centre museum.

There, a screen scrolled through all the Canadian casualties of the war. It would take a visitor 13.5 hours to see the list from start to finish.

“We sat there for a while and it was just the Ws. To me that was a ‘whoa’ moment, it was very emotional,” said Carter.

Another moving moment came when the students visited the Ardenne Abbey — site of the Ardenne Abbey Massacre — where the Nazis shot 20 Canadian soldiers in the backs of their heads in June, 1944.

Following the massacre, French farmers discovered the bodies in their fields.

The students visited the graves and paid respect at a memorial outside the abbey.

“That was very touching for me, there were a lot of tears. I found that place very emotional. It was bone chilling to walk through and know these men were just shot and killed and buried,” said Carter.

The students took home newfound knowledge of the war and were able to make direct links to what they had learned in school textbooks. Case in point, student Kathleen Kong noted the abbey massacre would have been against the Geneva

am reminiscing back to a wonderful holiday in England in 1992. After driving our rented motorhome some 1,900 miles up one side of England and down the other, we went to visit my lifelong friend, Jill, and her husband John, who lived in Uckfield, Sussex.

As the weather was fine, Jill suggested we take a trip to France. Both Jill and John knew of my interest in recent history and, in particular, the battles that took place in France during both World Wars. My father’s youngest brother, Maurice Chevrier Lalonde, was killed in France on April 6, 1916.

Although my dad had lived many years in England, I don’t recall him saying he had ever paid his respects at his beloved young brother’s grave in Rochlincourt, near Arras.

I meant to correct that and visit his gravesite to pay my respects.

John and Jill visit France frequently to shop, stock up their wine cellar and site-see.

However, this trip was more for Joyce and I to visit both new and historical places.

We began by driving to Folkstone, where we caught the hovercraft Princess Margaret to Boulogne. After a speedy, but noisy, 25-minute ride on this monster machine, we drove out into the sunshine and onto the concrete slipway at Boulogne. On the way to Dieppe, we passed several pill-boxes, souvenirs from the Second World War, overlooking the roadway.

We stayed the first night in France at a lovely sea-front hotel in Dieppe overlooking the beach.

It was here that some 6,000, mostly Canadian soldiers, attempted to carry out Operation Jubilee on Aug. 19, 1942. History shows that this wartime fiasco ended with 3,623 killed, captured or wounded. In tribute to those Canadians who died in that tragic raid, the French have erected a large granite memorial shaped and coloured like a Canadian flag. It’s built into the cliff face at the end of the Dieppe sea-front promenade.

The next day, we visited the Vimy Ridge Memorial, located about 12 km northeast of Arras.

The battle for this ridge took place from April 9 - 12, 1917. My uncle, and his machine gun crew of four, survived Passchendaele but were killed in another battle for the town of Arras.

The monument consists of a massive concrete base, weighing in at more than 11,000 tons. It supports two pylons of carved sandstone that reach 27 meters skyward. This giant memorial is a silent tribute to 11,285 soldiers, part of the 100,000 who made up the Canadian Expeditionary Force. These 11,000-plus had no final resting place at the time, so each of their names was carved on the walls of the huge granite epitaph. The main inscription reads: “To the Valour of their Countrymen in the Great War, and their memory of their 60,000 dead. This monument is raised by the people of Canada.”

The 250-hectare site was gifted to Canada

by France for the memorial. The monument took 11 years to complete, from 1925 to 1936. Its shear size is almost impossible to appreciate. The tallest figure representing peace, and, looking over the Doual Plain, See Sites page 25

REMEMBRANCE Day " Wire fences protect visitors from wandering into areas adjacent to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial where live munitions still lay buried amidst a network of old tunnels and trenches. Photo submitted

Sites: Messages strangely silent From page 24 reaches 110 metres. It is the tallest of 20 sculptured figures on the memorial.

During the ground preparation for this edifice, hundreds of unexploded munitions were carefully dug up and disposed of to make room for the roadways to and around the memorial.

Nearby, the carefully preserved network of enemy trenches and tunnels have been opened for display.

However, much of the grassy spaces are well signed with: “Do Not Enter,

Live Munitions.” All visitors are asked to stay on the paths. From time to time, the odd unexploded shell or other live munitions works its way to the surface and is carefully removed.

I sat quietly staring at the monument trying to appreciate the message this memorial represents.

I cast my eyes toward the 50 or 60-year-old trees that have grown up among the trenches since those terrible three days. It was a time when the noise of battle must have been deafening as it mixed with the screams

of the wounded and dying.

Now, all is silent, deathly silent. The quiet is unspoiled.

Young, green trees and lush green grass that we cannot venture upon, provide a gentle softness to this one-time battlefield. Now, all is peaceful. Those who were lost in the name of peace will be remembered for all time.

I feel I have added my respect for their ultimate sacrifice. It’s strangely silent, and still, a place of peace and quiet now, a place where no birds fly.

Thank you to my Dad, William S. Robson, my uncles, my brother Jim, my Daddy Jack, and all of those who gave of themselves to give us our freedom today.

" Bold and edgy character lines on the Cadillac SRX definitely indicate that this is not your grandpa’s ‘Caddy.’

Photo submitted

‘Caddy’ has sharp style

Chiselled and athletic are the best words to describe the distinctive SRX. The angular lines give it a masculine feel. Even though the SRX is one of the most “dated” vehicles in Cadillac’s lineup, its styling holds up well and the car still looks fresh and exciting.

The SRX’s look is epitomized by Cadillac’s wide shield grille, flanked by the now iconic vertical headlights. The wheels are pushed to the corners, resulting in a wide stance and short overhangs.

Looking at the SRX from the side, your eye is drawn to the fender vents and prominent crease rising from the top of the front wheel to just below the rear window. The high beltline and rear slanted roof continue the aggressive look, but does limit outward visibility.

Vertical taillights compliment the front and the twin tailpipes round out the package. A power liftgate is standard on all but the base model.

The SRX’s cabin is still up-to-date and luxurious; It should please any young executive, though the newer competitors are perhaps a bit more modern.

Available in four trim levels, the SRX is offered with Luxury, Performance and

All SRX models are powered by a direct-injected 3.6-litre V6 rated at 308 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque.

Lightweight materials were used to reduce overall weight for greater efficiency and a better front-to-rear balance.

It is mated to a Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission, which features a ECO mode the alters the shift points to improve fuel economy.

All-wheel drive is available to every model except the base model. The system incorporates an electronic limited-slip differential that increases traction in slippery conditions, while also providing side-to-side torque transfer across the rear axle to enhance control during hard cornering.

Further aiding handling is the variable-effort, speedsensitive steering system. It is tuned with a sport-sedan style bias and gives good feedback without feeling too heavy. In fact, thanks to the traditional hydraulic steering mechanism, the SRX provides a sportier feel than many of its competitors, which have incorporated electric steering system.

The SRX is also available with Cadillac’s advanced safety systems. The most sophisticated of those features is frontal automatic braking. Using radar, camera and ultrasound technology, this system helps prevent low-speed collisions with alerts and the ability to brake completely, if necessary.

The 2015 SRX ranges in price from $42,930 to 58,205.

n recent years, Cadillac has raised its profile with edgy styling and surprisingly good performance. The sporty 2015 SRX enhances that appeal.

Despite not seeing significant changes since this generation’s debut back in 2010, the SRX still matches up well against the best in the luxury crossover-SUV segment. Its main competitors are the Lexus RX, the BMW X3, and the Audi Q5 – which are all important rivals.

The minor additions GM made this year include new colours and the 4G-LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability on the OnStar system.

the SRX’s low roof. The UltraView power sunroof goes a long way to making the cabin feel bright and airy.

The 844-litre volume should be plenty for regular shopping trips, but the cargo space behind the folding and reclining rear seats is somewhat less than its rivals The foundation of the SRX’s interior is its infotainment system. The Cadillac User Experience (CUE) is complimented by Bluetooth audio streaming, and USB and SD connection.

You interact with the system through a touch-sensitive eight-inch display. The large easy-to-target buttons and Haptic feedback create a comfortable experience, although it is not the most user-friendly unfortunately (like most touch controls lately).

To make the driving experience more enjoyable, the SRX offers active noise cancellation. Using microphones to monitor ambient noise, a computer plays counteracting frequencies through the audio system to quiet the cabin.

SPORTS Beyond the Scores

Shorter route still takes Wildcats to city title Mark BOOTH Sports Editor

MBOOTH@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A

long serving coach is hoping a significant change in the Richmond Senior Boys Soccer League landscape this season is only temporary.

The McMath Wildcats continued their city dominance with a 2-0 win over the McNair Marlins in last week’s final. The concern is just how short of path it was to earn Richmond bragging rights.

Out of a potential 11 teams, this year’s league featured just five. That’s a drop of two teams from last season and four from the 2013 campaign.

The Wildcats and Marlins were joined by Richmond Colts, McRoberts Strikers and Hugh Boyd Trojans.

With declining enrollment throughout the city, each school is classified at the AA level this season. It’s believed to be the first time not one team is at the AAA flight for larger schools since the all-city league was formed.

The last time McMath competed at AA was about eight years ago.

The Wildcats, Marlins, Strikers and Colts all advanced to this week’s Lower Mainland AA Championships.

Longtime community soccer coach Mike Quinn has been involved with the McMath program since

2005, when he took on the junior team and moved up to senior three years later.

He suggests there are a number of factors behind the reduced number of teams this season.

“Finding people to run the program, from either within or outside of school, is always a challenge,” said Quinn, who coached many years with the Richmond United Metro program.

“Then finding enough kids to commit can be difficult too. I know there are B.C. Premier and Metro coaches that don’t want their players participating in high school soccer for a variety of reasons.

“I think it’s a wonderful experience getting an opportunity to play with your friends from school. We have (B.C. Premier), Metro and Gold level players on our team.

They never would get a chance to play together otherwise.”

The hope is two or three schools return next season and the all-Richmond format is back to healthy numbers.

“It would be very unfortunate if it ever got to the point where we had to join the Vancouver league,” continued Quinn. “All the extra travel would be a huge inconvenience. We had to add exhibition games to our schedule this season just

to ensure the kids got their money’s worth.”

The Wildcats have a 20-player roster but only 13 were available for the city final. Still, they put together a solid 80 minutes with goals from Liam Fitzmaurice and Davis Poon.

“We didn’t have our strongest line-up but it was the best our best performance as a team this season,” added Quinn.

The Wildcats’ strong play continued during the Lower Mainland Championships — opening the tournament with

a 4-0 win over McRoberts.

Daniel Warmling led the way with a pair of goals, Fitzmaurice and Logan Hooper also scored McMath then advanced to the final and locked up a provincial berth with a 3-1 win over John Oliver on

Wednesday. Sean Minato scored twice. Mathias Melaku had the other.

The Mainland final goes on Monday with McMath taking on the Marlins who have also locked up a spot in the provincials, slated for Nov. 23-25 in Burnaby.

McRoberts favoured to win both Richmond senior volleyball titles T

he McRoberts Strikers will be the teams to beat in the girls and boys draws at next week’s Richmond Senior Volleyball Championships.

Both squads will take perfect records against city opponents into the three-day tournament which starts Tuesday and concludes Friday.

The defending champion Strikers not only went 8-0 to top the girls regular season standings, they didn’t drop a set either. McRoberts has also been a fixture in the provincial AAA

They will host the girls playoffs which wraps up with the championship game Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. The Richmond Christian Eagles (8-1) and McMath Wildcats (8-2) are the best bets to meet the Strikers in the final.

The Eagles are ranked No. 4 at the provincial A level.

Other participating teams include Steveston-London (6-4), McNair (6-4), Cambie (4-6), Richmond High (4-6) and Palmer (4-6).

Meanwhile, the boys draw could also unfold in similar fashion as the Strikers take a perfect 8-0 record into the postseason. Host Richmond Christian (6-1) is expected to be their biggest threat. Also in the mix are Steveston-London (6-2) and McMath (5-3).

McRoberts has dropped just two sets all season — in 3-1 wins over Richmond Christian and McMath. They sit at No. 8 in the provincial AA rankings.

Connaught skaters in Coquitlam for B.C. Yukon Sectional Championships Mark Booth

Sports Editor mbooth@richmond-news.com

A

fter months of training and a handful of preliminary competitions, it’s at last “go time” for Connaught Skating.

The Richmond club has a contingent of skaters in Coquitlam this week for the B.C./Yukon Section Championships — the first official step in the road to nationals. Connaught Director of Programs Keegan Murphy suggests at least 10 of his skaters have a shot at being on the podium including Mitchell Gordon (Senior Men), Danica Vangsgaard (Novice Ladies), Phoebe Yan (Pre Novice Ladies), Wesley Chui (Juvenile Men) and Maho

Harada (Pre Juvenile Ladies).

“We are very proud that we are not just producing championship calibre skaters at the higher end but right across the spectrum,” said Murphy.

“We have contenders in every category. The future is there.”

The final tune-up for Sectionals was a competition in Chilliwack where the Connaught coaching staff felt their skaters performed to “90 percent” of their ability, setting themselves up to peak in Coquitlam.

Meanwhile, Gordon was back in Ontario making his senior men’s international debut at the Autumn Classic.

He finished eighth overall in an impressive field that included reigning Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan.

“It’s a huge step going from junior to senior international, explained Murphy. “Mitchell gained a huge amount of experience at a totally different level of competition. “October was a very busy month for us and the kids worked very hard.”

The top four finishers in the Pre-Novice, Novice, Junior and Senior divisions at Sectionals will advance to the Western Challenge, slated for Dec. 2-6 in Edmonton.

Murphy added there is also

a chance to move on via a wild card spot which is being offered for the first time.

“The B.C. skating standard is very high,” he said. “You could finish fifth or sixth and still have a high enough score to get to Westerns. It’s not all about placement but rather skating your personal best too.”

The top skaters from Westerns will move on to the 2016 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships slated for Jan. 18-24 in Halifax.
