Britain’s sea of red poppies moveslongtime Langley historian WarrenSommer.by Heather [email protected]

Langley historian and author WarrenSommer helped honour his late grandfather,Private James Hodge, at the Tower of Londonthis past summer.

The Tower has been transformed with amemorial installation called Blood SweptLands and Seas of Red, which commemor-ates the 888,246 servicemen and women fromthroughout the Commonwealth killed duringthe Great War of 1914 to 1918.

Each of these 888,246 Commonwealth deadhas been honoured with a ceramic poppyinstalled for three months in the moat at theTower, Sommer said.

He was able to visit the site during a sum-mer visit to England.

A few were further honoured by beingincluded on a Roll of Honour, allowing fortheir names to be read out one evening dur-ing the course of the installation.

People could submit names for the Roll ofHonour.

“I nominated my grandfather, who was

killed in action on his first day in the trench-es,” Sommer explained. “Quite miraculously,my nomination was successful. Private JamesHodges’s name was the 110th of 180 readout on Oct. 21 by a yeoman warder in a cere-mony that was followed by the sounding ofthe Last Post.”

A friend from Yorkshire, who is also agreat-nephew of Langley soldier George HenryTopham, was among the thousands in attend-ance. Topham was killed in action in 1918.

“The nightly ceremonies are being putonline, so that relatives can see and hear thecommemoration,” Sommer added.

The ceramic poppies were sold as part ofthis installation and the proceeds are going tobenefit veterans.

“I was fortunate to get my order in beforethey were all gone, and will be receiving oneof the poppies after the installation is dis-mantled following Remembrance Day,” hesaid “While my wife and I were in London inAugust we were able to visit the installation,which was a humbling, unforgettable experi-ence.”

For those unable to attendRemembrance Day, theLegion came to them.by Matthew [email protected]

Residents at Aldergrove’sJackman Manor seniors homewelcomed members of the localRoyal Canadian Legion brancha day early, with a service ofremembrance on Nov. 10.

The service has been goingon for 31 years, ever sinceJackman Manor opened. It’sheld for residents who areunable to get out-side on Nov. 11due to mobilityissues.

“We stillhave to con-sider them,”said AldergroveLegion president Doug Hadley.“They can’t get out for theactual services.”

Reverend Linda Varin ledprayers and Legion memberBob Bradley read the poemWhy Wear a Poppy, and JohnLoxterkamp read an excerptfrom Laurence Binyon’s poemFor the Fallen.

After the moment of silence,Legion members carried a

wreath around the dining halland allowed the seniors to pintheir poppies to it.

Richard Toms, Shirley Henry,and Mary Janik were amongthose who listened to the ser-vice.

For Toms, it was his first timeseeing the Remembrance Dayservices in Jackman Manor, ashe just moved in this past April.

He’s always tried to go toRemembrance Day ceremoniesin the past, he said.

Janik has also gone toRemembrance Day services formany years.

“Most of my family were inthe wars,” she said. Uncles and

cousins servedin the military,she said.

Last Friday,the residents atJackman decid-ed against theirend of the week

craft (baking cookies), andcreated a Remembrance Daydisplay in one of their commonrooms, said activity coordinatorBarb Stamelias.

“I was really touched,” shesaid.

Jackman Manor is currentlyhome to three veterans, alongwith some residents who grewup in countries affected by thewar, such as Holland.

For those interested in Langleypolitics, there are few betterbrains to pick than those of localnewspaper editors.Langley Advance editor Bob

Groeneveld, along with LangleyTimes editor Frank Bucholtz,will take part in a conversa-tion with Kristine Simpson, theGreater Langley Chamber of

Commerce president. The eventis Nov. 12, as part of the cham-ber’s monthly dinner meeting.

This event is a first for thechamber, said executive directorLynn Whitehouse.

It was inspired by one of themost popular events at the B.C.Chamber of Commerce’s annualmeeting – The Cutting Edge ofthe Ledge.

It features seasoned legislativereporters on provincial politics.

With civic elections just daysaway, the chamber wanted tohost an event about politics,both recent and historical.

“It’s going to be a conver-sation, very informal,” saidWhitehouse.

Simpson will have a numberof questions and topics.

“It’s going to be a very friendlything,” said Whitehouse.

The editors have decades ofexperience covering politics.

“I think politics in Langley hasalways been a nasty business,”said Groeneveld.

With two Langleys, there’salways something going on, hesaid. When the City is quiet, theTownship will take up the slackor vice versa.

The dinner is at the CascadesCasino ballroom starting at 6:30p.m. Tickets are $35 for chambermembers and $50 for non-mem-bers.

Someone stole the Langley Legion’spoppy donation box from adowntown thrift store counter.by Heather [email protected]

The theft of a poppydonation box in LangleyThursday feels like some-thing of a double insult.

Someone stole the poppybox around 1 p.m. onNov. 6 from the Biblesfor Mission Thrift Store, acharity willing to collecton behalf of veterans.

“Any time we deal withtheft it is disheartening,”said thrift store managerJonelle Mace. “We con-sider Langley a great com-munity to part of, and we help those inneed however we can. We are 95 percent volunteer run, and they are all goodand hard working people who reallybelieve in what we’re doing.”

The store at 5785 200th St. had, like somany businesses and community groupsthis time of year, a box of poppies on thefront counter.

People make donations which sup-port veterans and programs of the RoyalCanadian Legion.

“What a tragedy during a time whenwe are especially remembering and pay-ing tribute to those who fought for ourfreedom,” Mace said.

The poppies are a vital source ofincome for the Langley Legion andothers, with the campaign only run-

ning in the couple of weeks prior toRemembrance Day.

The thrift store manager said they havebeen in contact with the RCMP about thetheft and a file is open.

“We don’t know howmuch was stolen as it is asealed box. We do knowthe box was full,” Macesaid.

The thrift store has alsobeen scouring its surveil-lance system for evidence.

Even for a thrift store, asecurity system is a neces-sity.

There are people kept aneye on in the store due totheft issues, she explained.

“We’ve had a guy stealmoney from the cashregister in the middle ofa sale, and a couple ofbotched attempts of break-

ing into our office after hours,” she said.But the thrift store that raises money to

provide Bibles abroad doesn’t just rely onprayer.

“We have a couple of law enforcementofficials on our volunteer force so wehave been well taught,” she added.

The store will protect itself from peoplewho think they will get away with steal-ing from charity.

“We have taken extra measures to dealwith an increase in theft and we willcontinue to do what we can to protectthe store,” she said. “We have been inLangley for over 20 years and theft hasonly recently become an issue. Perhapsthere is a thought out there that thriftstores are more vulnerable and lessequipped, but we are equipped.”

Thursday evening was the LangleyDistrict Parent Advisory Council’sturn to showcase the people runningfor school board.

Several candidates used the forumat the Christian Life Assembly churchto urge people to vote.

Local elections have a record oflow turnout.

Most used their introductions to listtheir involvement in education andthe community.

Trudy Handel said she grew up in arural area and education changed herlife. She worked in the film and TVsector for decades, and taught.

Rosemary Wallace has seven chil-dren and has volunteered in schoolsfor 18 years, saying she’s passionateabout education.

Suzanne Perrault said trustees needto be advocates for education. Two ofher children are on the autism spec-trum and she has volunteered withDPAC, Langley Parents as Partners,and others.

Perrault said class size and com-position are the most important forthe trustees.

Rob McFarlane has a long historyin the business world and broughtthat experience to the board table.

“In education that’s about studentsuccess,” McFarlane said referring tostaying focused on the key issue ofeducation.

Shelley Coburn has volunteered inthe Langley School District since 2005and is studying for her masters ofeducation.

She is deeply opposed to privatiza-tion in education and committed her-self to consultation, collaboration andinvolving the community.

Megan Dykeman said the account-ability and transparency of the schooldistrict has increased since the lastelection when she was elected.

Candy Ashdown has worked withthe parent advisory committee andDPAC.

Like Dykeman, Ashdown pointedto the districts paying down of its $13million deficit earlier then required asa key accomplishment.

Kristine Ketter made a point of say-ing she has no affiliation, a referenceto the candidate slates and endorse-ments by various third parties. Ketterwork as a sign language interpreter inthe education system and chairs thegroup Langley Parents as Partners inLearning.

“My focus has always been educa-tion and always will be,” Ketter said.

She said as a trustee she wouldcommit to finding out what’s workingand what’s not and what the districtcan do about it.

Lorraine Baldwin said she has atrack record of advocacy in educa-tion: “Teachers working conditionsare our children’s learning condi-tions.”

Teachers and parents are subsid-izing education because of lack ofadequate government funding.

“We need to shift the power backwhere it belongs,” Baldwin said.

Langley resident and Abbotsfordteacher David Tod said he wouldcommit to things such as listeningand learning.

Alison McVeigh said she’s lived inLangley for 27 years and has been onthe board for 15 years.

This board has worked extremelyhard to get another new school in theovercrowded Willoughby area, shenoted.

Pamala-Rose Combs has lived heresince 1997 and has a background inIT, human resources and business,noting she has the skills to be aneffective school board trustee.

“Education doesn’t end withschool,” said the advocate of lifelonglearning.

Lisa Moore comes from a businessbackground and said the board has tofight to get what kids need.

Rod Ross teaches in another districtand has been on the Langley SchoolBoard for several years.

“I’m not a great trustee, Ross said.“I’m just a good. I’m good because Ithink differently.”

A Mayor with a PROVEN record

We CAN do better!

Jack Froese accusedRick Green of falseclaims as the electionapproaches.by Matthew [email protected]

Incumbent Jack Froesesaid his mayoral challen-ger Rick Green is spread-ing false claims about whostarted the controversialBrookswood communityplanning process.

The issue has arisen atlocal debates, but therewas a longer exchangeabout it between Greenand Froese during a recentShaw TV debate.

On Friday, Froesepassed out voting rec-ords from 2011, whenthe Brookswood OfficialCommunity Plan processwas begun.

“It clearly shows thatthe Brookswood OCP wassigned, sealed, and deliv-ered during Rick Green’sterm as mayor,” Froesesaid. Green served from2008 to 2011.

At issue is the factthat 10 landowners inBrookswood, operating asthe Griffith NeighbourhoodAdvisory Corporation, putup $500,000 to pay for theplanning process.

“That did not come to usfor a vote,” Green insistedwhen contacted for aresponse.

He said that whatstarted under his termwas that staff started todevelop a plan. Therehad been many peoplein Brookswood callingfor an update to the oldOCP, which had not beensubstantially rewritten in

decades.Records, including those

not provided by Froese,show that the GriffithNeighbourhood AdvisoryCorporation did offer tofund the process in thespring of 2011, whenGreen was still mayor.

In February of that year,staff reported that land-owners had petitionedfor a new plan. Councilvoted to ask for a staffreport, including “the pos-ition of property ownersregarding cost sharingif the NeighbourhoodCommunity Plans were toproceed.”

Green voted in favour ofthe referral.

On May 30, the coun-cil voted to update theBrookswood FernrideCommunity Plan, hiring aconsultant for two years tooversee the process.

“These expenditureswould be funded by theGriffith NeighbourhoodAdvisory Corporation,”said the report. Green wasabsent for that vote.

The landowners werekept at arms length fromthe actual planning pro-cess, with the long-termplan to refund their$500,000 from develop-ment cost charges if theplan went forward. Whenthe Township councilvoted against the plan,their money was essen-tially lost.

Froese was not oncouncil when the processbegan.

The planning processproceeded mostly quietlyfor two years, but in thelast few months beforethe OCP was to be final-ized, public anger aboutthe scale and density ofredevelopment proposedgrew. The plan was defeat-ed after a series of lengthypublic hearing meetings.

Froese voted in favourof referring the plan formajor changes, but againstscrapping it altogether.He was outvoted seven totwo.

He said Green’s “mis-information” is distracting.

“I’m not planning a legalaction,” Froese said.

“I certainly wouldappreciate if my oppon-ent would set the recordstraight on his website,but that’s up to him,”Froese said.

He also pledged that oneof his top three priorities ifre-elected will be to createa special committee thatwill revamp the planningprocess in the Township.

Green was critical of thepromise.

“Where has Jack been?”he said. “He’s been inoffice for three years.”

The planning process inthe Township has beenflawed for years, Greensaid.

In a press release issuedSaturday night, Greenacknowledged voting inFebruary, on a reportwhich he said “reflects anopen ended direction tostaff to look after it.”

He noted that he missedthe May meeting and votedue to his daughter’s ser-ious illness.

Green said he is run-ning on his record of beingopen and listening to thecommunity during histerm as mayor.

He dismissed any con-cerns about the turmoilon council during his timein office, which includedhim being censured byhis fellow councillors andinvestigated by the RCMPduring his term.

A report suggested Greenmight have committed abreach of trust by lying tocouncil, and also foundhe had lied to lawyersbrought in to look intothe matter. He was nevercharged.

“That’s old news,” Greensaid. “There was nothingto it,” he said, saying hewas cleared in every way.

Election day is Nov. 15.Froese, Green, and SerenaOh are running to becomethe next Township mayor.

A key overpass inWilloughby shouldbe widened, said acandidate for LangleyTownship mayor.by Matthew [email protected]

With a week left to gobefore the election, JackFroese has pledged majorupgrades to 208th Street’soverpass and possiblyroadway if re-elected asLangley Township mayor.

At his press conferenceon Friday, he said that hewould commit to wideningthe 208th Street overpassto four lanes during thenext term of office.

The overpass, builtin the late 1990s whenWilloughby was stilllargely undeveloped, wasalways structurally able toaccommodate four lanes,said Froese.

It would cost about $12million to widen the road-way, he said.

Froese went on to saythat it might be time tolook at widening 208thStreet, even withoutdevelopers paying for theimprovements.

One of the most conten-tious issues in Willoughby

over the past several yearshas been the pace of road,sidewalk, and crosswalkimprovements.

The Township’s policyhas been to fund widenedroads by having develop-ers build them along withtheir projects.

This has left major roadslike 208th Street withwildly varying levels ofcompletion. The streetvaries from four to threeto two lanes and widensand shrinks several timesbetween 72nd Avenue and84th Avenue at the over-pass.

Because some areas areyears away from beingfully developed, it couldbe some time before everysection of 208th was wid-ened under the existingpolicy.

“It might be one of thoseprojects where we have todig deep and complete it,”Froese said.

It would cost in the mil-lions of dollars, Froeseacknowledged.

“We’d have to look atthe cost,” he said, add-ing that a widening mighttake place in stages,like the widening ofFraser Highway throughMurrayville and to theeast.

The area to be widenedwould include the road

south of 84th as far as64th Avenue, includingthe curved stretch of roadknown as the Willoughbyconnector.

That would be a majorchange in policy forWilloughby. For monthsthe majority of councilhas insisted that growthhas to pay for itself inWilloughby, and thatbuilding infrastructurebefore development wouldlead to much higherspending levels.

Rick Green, Froese’smain opponent in themayor’s race, was criticalof the new pledge on theoverpass and the pos-sibility of widening 208thStreet.

“Where has he beenfor the last three years?”Green said.

I sometimes find myself a bit confusedabout what we’re supposed to remember onRemembrance Day.

Personally, I like to reflect on the number ofpeople whose lives were destroyed by war.

I think of the senseless waste of dead youngmen lying on battlefields, dreams neverrealized, families that never were, childrendeprived of parents, mothers left to mournsons, wives and sweethearts thrust into uncer-tain futures of tears born ofmemories of dreams of familiesthat never happened.

Sometimes my mind wandersfurther, into fields of inventionsthat were never invented, greatnovels that were never written,heroic acts that could have savedlives in civil disasters instead ofbeing used up on a battlefield, fighting enemysoldiers with unfulfilled dreams of familiesand unrealized great accomplishments of theirown.

I ponder the reality that some wars arenecessary… or rather, that some wars becomenecessary.

But all wars are mistakes.They always come from errors in leadership.The errors can arise from arrogance born of

religion or political stupidity.The errors are often built on a foundation of

greed.But they are always a failure of diplomacy,

of communication, of understanding, or simplyof decency.

And it’s those (usually) young men whosebodies litter the battlefields who are caught inthe middle.

I was taught when I was little that, everyyear when Remembrance Day rolls around, Ishould think of the peace that was fought for.

My country and I have lived in peace formost of my life so far – indeed, I can say formost of my life, without the “so far,” becauseI am unlikely to live long enough for the yearsof war, even if they continue to the end of mydays, to outnumber the peace.

These are the things that I think about asI listen to the sounding of the Last Post atRemembrance Day ceremonies every year.

And every year, my thoughts are punctuatedby an uncontrollable gasp as the Sergeant atArms concludes the roll call with, “They donot answer, Sir!”

I can get teary just thinking about that, evenas I write the sentence.

But I find it significant, nevertheless, thatI noticed an obvious decline in attendanceat Remembrance Day ceremonies over the

years… until Canada becameinvolved in the first Persian GulfWar.

Attendance at cenotaphs sud-denly perked up.

Suddenly, people seemedeager to remember again.

That’s sad.It’s sad not because more

people are going out to honour those whorisk everything to protect our way of life, orwho sacrifice the security of their personalhome and hearth to stand in harm’s way onbehalf of people around the world who needCanada’s help.

It’s sad because forgetfulness appears to bea symptom of peace. And forgetting how ourpeace was won inevitably leads back to thejolting reminder of war.

I know that our leaders faithfully attendRemembrance Day services, and that theyalways have, even in times of peace.

But to me, their motives are suspect.Forgive me my cynicism, but I believe they

feel it’s a price they have to pay for their polit-ical careers.

I have no doubt that they are there to hon-our the sacrifices and the fallen.

But I doubt they are there to remember.Otherwise, they’d work harder to keep it all

from happening again. And again. And again.

OpinionOur View

Your decision– just make it

This is not an editorial exhorting youto get out and vote. We’ve done that. Andwe’ll probably take another stab at it beforevoting day.

It is also not an editorial telling you whoto vote for. We don’t believe in endorse-ments – although for many newspapers it’spart of the election campaign process.

We think it’s mighty arrogant of news-papers to try and use their clout (what littlethey may have left) to support a candidate– left, right, centre or in between.

Do readers really need a newspaperto tell them who to vote for? And after anewspaper endorses a candidate and/orparty, what responsibility does that news-paper have in continuing coverage of their“endorsed” candidate?

Plumping for one’s guy (or gal) seemsto be taking advantage of a newspaper’scredibility. And, in our opinion, it alsodiminishes that same credibility. It wouldbe reasonable for readers to ask just howa newspaper could benefit from such anendorsement.

Newspapers and journalists are facingincreasing questions about their credibilityand bias. It seems to us that a newspaperendorsing a candidate only amplifies thoseconcerns.

Yes, newspapers are not clinical, scien-tific devices. They are staffed by humanbeings who, by their very natures, havebiases.

We try not to have those biases impactour decisions.

And we clearly label opinion pieces whenwe do enter the fray.

We also try to make sure that as manyvoices and viewpoints as possible appear inthese pages, and on our website.

We get heck from all sides in elections -and that, we believe, is a good thing.

We’re not going to tell you who to votefor, but we will say that it is almost alwaysbetter to trust one’s own thinking than fol-low someone else’s.

At least then you have only yourself toblame if you’ve picked the wrong candidate.

Dear Editor,Regarding the pictures in your special

Remembrance Day section [Lest WeForget, Nov. 6, Langley Advance].

I saw your pictures in today’s Advance,Some served at sea, some in France,Veterans in the forces now long ago,Some I knew and some I know,Many marched with me to celebrate,The war we fought with many mates,Who lie in foreign fields, far away,Whose sacrifice we honour on

Remembrance Day.

We once were young and full of life,We fell in love and found a wife,And on November eleventh in a Legion hall,Over a beer we would tell,

Of the action in which comrades fell,In foreign nations, at sea or in the air,

Who now lie in graveyards everywhere,But we survivors are aging fast,World War Two vets will not last,But we will join our pals of long ago,To an eternity where I hope we’ll know,That life in spirit never ends,Nor does friendship with our friends.

Mike Harvey, Langley

Remembrance Day

Picture thoughts…

Dear Editor,In the past few years,

thousands of people have

moved to Langley – mostinto Willoughby.

It is evident on our con-

gested roads and in ourovercrowded schools.

Parking is at a premium;when homes are built asclosely together as they arein Willoughby, it’s difficultfor visitors to find availablespace on the roads.

Oddly, in the Township,infrastructure followsdevelopment. We build, andthen we react. To illustrate,there have been a num-ber of people hit on 72ndAvenue between 200th and192nd Streets over the pastfew years. Sadly, an elderlygentleman was killed thispast summer. Unbelievably,there is not a single pedes-trian-controlled crosswalk inthose entire eight blocks.

I would like to know howmany of our city plannersand current councillorsactually live in Willoughby.

Take the time to studythe candidates running inthis municipal election.Decisions made at the muni-cipal level affect us directly,so if you’re a Canadiancitizen of voting age, pleaseget out on Saturday, Nov.15, and make your mark.Your vote does count.

Cara De St. Remy, Willoughby

Election 2014

Willoughby planning backwards

Election 2014

Losers should step asideDear Editor,

Fourteen Township councillor wannabes will be dis-appointed before they go to bed on Nov. 15.

Some of the candidates will attract only a few thousand,or even a few hundred votes. At the 2011 elections morevotes were cast for candidates who did not get elected thanwere cast for those who were elected.

Candidates who are serious about creating change need toget together, work out which of them has a realistic chanceof getting elected, and which are running for disappoint-ment. Then some candidates need to withdraw and throwtheir weight and votes behind the candidates in a positionto change the political landscape in the Township.

The community might be best served by a change of onlythree or four councillors.

Surrey election

Mail wastedDear Editor,

As a resident of LangleyTownship, I find it disturb-ing to continue to receiveSurrey election materialdelivered in my mail. I amunable to vote for any ofthese candidates as I don’tlive in Surrey.

It is a waste of theresidents of money, or ifCanada Post is to blame,then all citizens of Canadaare paying for this blunder.

Election 2014

Candidates short platformsDear Editor,

I would be more than happy to vote for some of thepeople running for election/re-election in the Township, butnone of them have provided me with their platform. Theyall seem to think that they will be elected or re-elected…just because. I’m tired of not knowing what it is that eachstands for and what they plan to do to support or not sup-port for my community.

More cramming likely aheadDear Editor,

Do you like the cramming and jamming that’s been hap-pening in Willoughby? Brookswood especially should heedthis, because if the current Township council is put back in,this will happen to them.

D. Ritchie, Fort Langley

Election 2014

Serious risks in anti-progressDear Editor,

Can you imagine a bunch of anti-progress rookies runningthe Township? Think “Muppets take Manhattan” movie.With no business experience but bubbling with enthusiasm,looking to press a few buttons to see what happens, it willbe a disaster waiting to happen.

Poor, ideological but uninformed decisions could wreakhavoc on the Township’s resources through missed oppor-tunities. Do we want to risk going through four years ofcostly mistakes? I don’t!

Bud Freeston almost losthis life to a training acci-dent.

He was working withmortar crews, firing intothe Atlantic.

“One of them exploded,”Freeston said.

The man next to himdied.

“I got it through mythigh and up my back,”he said. The wound lefthim bedridden until hewas sent to a convales-cent hospital near Algiers,where he was billeted ina small villa with a fel-low Lieutenant namedJoel Brooks. “He had beenwounded in the buttocks,”Freeston recalled.

Freeston was the onlyCanadian among theBritish soldiers in the hos-pital.

One day, he was calleddown to the mess where aparcel had arrived for him.

“There’s 12 bottles ofSeagrams ‘83 rye whisky,”Freeston said.

The whiskey kept show-ing up, everyFriday, forthe month hewas there.The senderwas appar-ently theCanadian ambassador inAlgiers.

The British weren’tfamiliar with Canadianwhiskey, but they soonacclimatized to it, Freestonsaid.

Though he was largelymobile and doing physio-therapy, the wound gotworse.

“One morning I wokeup, and my bed was wet,the whole of my leg waswet, and there was pusrunning out of my leg,”

Freeston said. He hadcontracted gangrene in thewound.

The local surgeons ser-iously considered simplyamputating his leg, but hewas saved by the arrival ofa hospital ship.

The doctors on boardwere also doubtful thatthe leg could be saved, butthey wanted to try somenew drugs first.

“One of the drugs waspenicillin, and the otherwas sulfa,” said Freeston.

By the time the hospitalship reached England ninedays later, the infectionhad largely subsided.

He finished recuperat-ing at Cliveden, the estatedonated by Viscountand Lady Astor to beturned into a hospital forCanadian soldiers.

Because of the ser-iousness of his wounds,Freeston was recommend-ed for a discharge, butby May of 1944 he wasrecovered, and back atwork again training othersoldiers with mortars.

“I went to the CO andsaid, when can I get back

to Sicily?”Freestonsaid. Hewantedto join upwith hisold unit.He was

told no onewas going to

Sicily. Something big wascoming.

Days later, the Alliesinvaded Normandy.

Freeston asked to goto France, and fought toget out of his trainingassignment. That summerhe walked onto the man-made dock that had beentowed to the shore of JunoBeach, the landing site forCanadian forces in France.

Having been withunits of Prairie men dur-ing his whole militarycareer, Freeston was nowbounced into a unit thathe knew nothing about –the Black Watch. Freestonwas initially worried thathe wouldn’t be able tospeak to them, as all heknew about the BlackWatch was that they werefrom Quebec.

He was assured theywere an English-speakingunit, and was sent to jointhem as a platoon com-mander.

Freeston does not liketo speak much about theexperiences he had incombat with the BlackWatch, as they movedthrough France, Belgium,the Netherlands, and intoNorthern Germany throughthe latter half of 1944 andinto early 1945.

He recalled the incidentthat saw him gain his pro-

motion to captain, in St.Leonard in Belgium.

He and two other sol-diers, a runner and asignaller, went forward torestore communications.

“During the night, Jerrybrought up a self-propelledcannon,” Freeston remem-bered. “A hell of a battle,all night.”

He and his runnersprinted across an alley toavoid sniper fire, and onceacross sent messages backto the other building bytying them onto rocks andthrowing them back.

He was happy to get thepromotion, as it meant hismother was now getting$123 of his monthly sal-ary, a big improvementfor her life back home inSaskatchewan.

Shortly after that, theBlack Watch became partof the massive attack onthe Scheldt.

…continued from page A12The battle involved a

series of attacks acrossdikes and onto a highlyfortified island, in earlyOctober. The goal wasto open up the port ofAntwerp to allow valuablewar material and reinforce-ments to be shipped into northern Europe. Thebattle was successful, butit cost the lives of manyCanadians, along withBritish and Polish soldiers.

Freeston is mentionedin the official Black WatchWar Diary.

On Dec. 7, along withseveral other artillery offi-cers “Capt. D.H. Freestonof our 3” mortars” wasordered to bombard aGerman position as part ofa lightning raid.

Freeston and his menfired tens of thousands ofmortars over the course oftheir battles. In one 19-dayperiod alone at the end of1944 and early 1945, theyfired 14,000 rounds.

“I was doing creepingbarrages,” Freeston said.

A creeping barrage iswhen artillery lands justahead of advancing troops.The idea is to time boththe artillery and troopmovements so that bythe time any defendingGermans could come outof cover, the footsoliderswould be almost on topof them. Doing it properlyrequires good planningand constant communica-tion to avoid hitting yourown troops.

Over the years, Freestonsaid he’s found it harderto talk about the friends helost in Europe.

“My battalion lost 2,000men,” he said.

“We left all our heroesover there, in France andHolland,” Freeston said.

When they finally heardthe war was over, therewas a sense of relief morethan cele-bration.

Becauseof his longservice,Freestonwas sentback toCanada bySeptember.He marriedDorothy two days after hearrived.

After doing various jobs,

Freeston found himselfback in the military in1955 when he was offereda temporary commission.He found himself doing alot of administrative work,

and eventu-ally got outof uniformonly to behired backas a civilianemployee,with along careerworkingin various

places across Canada untilhe retired in 1985.

He also went back to

Europe, five times, tracingthe path of the BlackWatch and other Canadianmilitary units, and layingwreaths at cemeteries ofthe war dead.

Freeston and his wifeDorothy have lived inLangley for the last 12years, and he said heplans to attend this year’sRemembrance Day cere-monies at Aldergrove’sbranch of the RoyalCanadian Legion.

He and Dorothy are get-ting a little too old to getout as much, but in thepast he’s volunteered tosell poppies in November.

For the fourth year,Remembrance Day-themed banners fly.by Ronda [email protected]

Langley’s downtownhas a special set ofbanners installed eachyear during the fall.Not only do these ban-ners honour veterans,but they also illus-trate how businessescan come together toappreciate the free-doms offered in Canadaand the good work of thelocal legion.

Rachelle Anderson,office manager withthe Downtown LangleyBusiness Association(DLBA), noted the ban-ners have received positivefeedback over the years.

“They are up, theywent up the third week ofOctober,” she said of thisyear’s banner installation.

“They’ll stay on for sixweeks. They bring a lot ofattention and awarenessand are really beautiful.We’re really happy we didit [went ahead with theproject of creating the ban-ners].”

In 2011, the DLBA tookphotographer Brian Buryup on his offer. Bury had anumber of Veteran photoshe was planning on repro-ducing in a book and sug-gested they could also be

used for bannersto commemorateRemembrance Day.

The first batchof 40 banners waspurchased in 2011with another 30being added in2012, thanks to thesupport of a num-ber of local busi-nesses.

Now, each year,the 70 bannersare installed alongDouglas Crescentbetween 204thand 206th Streets,around City Hall,

on 204th Street betweenDouglas Crescent andFraser Highway, and alongFraser Highway between204th and 206th Streets.

The second set of 30banners incorporated adonation of $2,000 to theLangley Legion #21.

Anderson noted theDLBA teamed Bury,Instant Imprints, and theCity for the creation andinstallation of the banners.

Aldergrove Rotary Club’s watersystem campaign changes livesin rural Nepal.

For members of the AldergroveRotary Club, a round of golf is morethan just a game. It’s a way to makelife better for villagers living in pov-erty in Nepal.

On Sept. 12, when just under 100golfers reached the 19th hole at theannual Katmandu Klassic golf tour-nament, they marked more than justtheir score cards.

They chalked up another win forthe Nepal Water Project.

Gus Hartl, Aldergrove Rotary Clubtreasurer, announced that the $4,000proceeds from this year’s tourneyhad sent the club’s $8,000 waterproject commitment over the top ofits $12,000 goal.

For 20 years, members of theAldergrove Rotary Club have sup-ported the Nepal Water Project,a Rotary International initiativethat brings water systems, sani-tary latrines and smokeless stovesto remote areas of Nepal. TheAldergrove Rotary Club has raiseda total of $45,000 over the past 12

years to support construction ofwater systems.

In 2013, Aldergrove RotariansTerry Metcalfe and Jack Nicholsonsaw the life-changing results theNepal Water Project.

“The basis of our work is to pro-vide an adequate water supply,”Metcalfe explained.

Before the water systems, womenand children spent the majority ofeach day carrying water from remotesources to their homes.

Now what previously took six

hours each day can now be done inan hour, and often there is enoughwater for greater farming efforts.

Aldergrove Rotary contributes tothe cost of sanitary latrines, a by-product of having readily availablewater, and smokeless stoves, whichhelp prevent eye and lung problemsfrom cooking over open fires in thecentre of the one-room houses.

Initiated 20 years ago, the NepalWater Project was a joint enter-prise among the Rotary Clubof Aldergrove, the CanadianInternational Development Agency(CIDA), World Neighbours Canada(WNC), TSS (Tamakoshi SewaSamiti), a Nepalese NGO, andmore recently, the Surrey basedCACTES (Caring About CommunitiesTogether to Eliminate Struggle).

The Canadians provide funds formaterials, TSS provides organiza-tion and technical expertise, and thevillagers provide the labour for con-struction and maintenance. In 2013,CIDA’s participation in the projectended.

Two years ago, the AldergroveRotary Club committed to raise$8,000 US toward the $12,000 costfor two new water systems.

Saskatoon seized control ofthe Canadian championshipgame in the second quarter,and never let up, beatingLangley 39-14 at McLeodStadium.by Troy [email protected]

For the second time in threeyears, the Saskatoon Hilltopshave hoisted the Canadian Bowlat McLeod Stadium.

The difference is, this timearound, in a game played infront of a full house on Saturdayafternoon, this win over theLangley Rams was a blowout.

From the second quarteronward, the Hilltops dominatedthe Rams.

Saskatoon held a tenuous 8-7lead after the first quarter buttook control after that, outscor-ing the hosts 31-7 the rest of theway to win 39-14.

The game had a different com-pletion from the 2012 Canadianjunior football championship,when the Hilltops overcame a15-point halftime deficit to ekeout a 23-21 victory.

On Saturday, Langley’s offencejust couldn’t get any kind ofconsistent forward progress.

Malcolm Williams – who hada game-high 134 yards receivingin a losing cause – accounted forthe Rams’ points with a pair oftouchdown catches.

The Hilltops, who led 25-7 athalftime and 32-7 after threequarters, took advantage ofLangley turnovers.

Adding to the hosts’ challen-ges, the Rams lost their startingquarterback Jordan McCarty toan upper body injury on the firstseries of the second half.

Before he got hurt, McCartycompleted 10 of 17 passes for154 yards, with a touchdowntoss and an interception.

Backup Dylan Tucker came inand played well under thecircumstances, moving thechains consistently in thefinal quarter. Tucker con-nected on 19 of his 22 passattempts for 232 yards,with a touchdown throw toWilliams.

By the fourth quarter,however, the Hilltops hada 25-point advantage andwere just waiting for theclock to run out so they couldcelebrate their Canadian cham-pionship.

Asked what the Hilltops dideffectively to take control of thegame, Rams head coach JeffAlamolhoda answered, “It’smore of what we did, or didn’tdo.”

“We came out early andfumbled the ball, and showed

the big game jitters for a youngteam,” Alamolhoda said. “Weturned the ball over, and youcan’t do that – throw intercep-tions, have fumbles and take bigpenalties – that’s what’s going tocause you to go down early.”

And if you go down earlyagainst a team as disciplinedand talented as the Hilltops,

Alamolhoda added, you’vegot to be able to fight back“tooth and nail.”

“We showed the fightback, we just didn’t haveenough time,” the benchboss said.

If the Rams can hangtheir hat on anything, it’sthe fact they played harduntil the final whistle.

“With a young team, andthe inexperience they had com-ing into a game like this – youcan try to prepare them as muchas possible,” Alamolhoda said.“But those big game jitters reallycame back, and the age of theteam really came back and bit usthis year, and all we can do nowis go into the off-season andwork our butts off and get backto where we need to be next

year, and have another go.”Rams receiver Daniel English

said miscues and turnovers werethe difference.

“It was just a trench war,”said English, who led the Ramswith seven catches to go alongwith 74 yards receiving. “Wewere going tough in the trench-es, O line, D line, it was just abattle there, we won some, theywon some, but I feel like thepass game, we had it going, wewere moving the ball, we werejust making mistakes. We hadthree or four fumbles, had aninterception…”

Langley also failed to converton a few third down attempts.

English said the Rams “foughtthe whole time,” adding that theHilltops are balanced, makingthem very tough to play against.

“I didn’t see any superstarplayers but they’re all so solid asa team,” English said. “They justwork together as a unit. Theirdefence, everyone’s so strict intheir coverage and what they doas a whole, and they are able tobe successful doing that.”

Hilltops receiver EvanTurkington earned OffensivePlayer of the Game honourswith a pair of catch and runs fortouchdowns in the second half.

“It was unreal,” saidTurkington, who had a team-leading 131 yards receiving onthe day. “The second quarter,everything came into place.”

Turkington said momentummade the difference against agroup of Rams that he describedas “an unreal team full of abso-lutely outstanding athletes.”

“We took advantage of ourchances and the defence steppedup and made a couple of timelyplays, and yeah, we just rodethe wave and didn’t look back,”he said.

Turkington was part of thenational championship team in2012 but watched that gamefrom the sidelines. It was awhole other story for the tallpass catcher on Saturday.

“It’s a difference experience,”he said. “Anything I can do tohelp the team win, it’s a teamgame. It’s a bit different butboth times are just as sweet.”

“They’re one of the top teamsin the league,” Rivermen assistantcoach Kurt Astle said, just afterthe victory. “We wanted to see

what we were made of tonight,and the guys bought in andresponded well. We limited theiropportunities and capitalized onour chances.”

“We learned our lesson fromlast week,” added Kilistoff, theRivermen’s captain and leadingscorer. “Playing a good game andthen losing a home and homeagainst Coquitlam. This time, weneeded a full effort from top tobottom and we did tonight.”

Colton Kehler started the scor-ing by netting his second of theseason, finishing off a pass from

Jacob Kearley andCole Williams.

The Rivermen did somethingthey were unable to do in their

previous game against Coquitlam:get off to a strong start.

Two first period goals fromKearley and Kilistoff set the tonefor the rest of the night.

“Our approach coming intotonight was good,” Rivermenhead coach and general managerBobby Henderson said, after thegame. “We were willing to do thelittle things tonight to win. Weplayed hard all the way through.Bo played well and made somekey saves.”

“We took over the game rightfrom the start with two first per-iod goals,” defenceman ZacharyBleuler said.

“It’s a team game,” he said. “Atthe end of the day all you want isa win. It’s always nice to try andget a shutout but sometimes that’sthe way it goes and I’m just gladwe got the win.”

“Bo’s a great goalie,” saidBleuler. “We know we can rely onhim to make the big save and getthe job done and he did tonight.”
