When Langley farmers opened their copies of the British Colum-bian weekly of June 30, 1914, it was the 100th birthday of New Westminster’s Mrs. George Debeck that dominated the Fraser Valley newspaper’s front page. News of the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which had occurred just two days earlier, was consigned to a story on the side.

Murdered in the Bosnian city of Sarajevo, the late Archduke was heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His murder by Serbian ex-tremists was seen in Austria as part of a sinister plot on the part of the Serbian government to destabilize the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Despite his lofty status, Franz Ferdinand was little liked by the Austrian government. His death nonetheless offered an irresistible excuse for Austria to take military action against its troublesome Balkan neighbour. Yet after the initial drama of the assassination, the press made little mention of the incident.

There was nothing to suggest an emerging regional confl ict, much less an impending global confl agra-tion.

On July 23, however, the Austrian government presented Serbia with

an infl ammatory ten-point ulti-matum. Within days, Serbia had agreed to each of its demands, save for one that would have jeopardized the nation’s very sovereignty. Ser-bia’s non-compliance was suffi cient excuse for Austria to declare war, and at that point a complex web of international treaties, alliances and understandings all came into play.

Russia rallied to the defence of Serbia and Germany to the support of Austria, thereby placing Russia at war with Germany.

France’s alliance with Russia ensured her participation in the emerging confl ict. If that was not enough, Great Britain’s understand-ings with France and Russia put her on the side of those two countries, though it was not until Germa-ny sent troops through neutral Belgium that Britain entered the growing fray.

As a British dominion Canada had a peculiar status within the British Empire, enjoying full independence in all matters save for foreign affairs. With close to 60 per cent of its residents tracing their origins to the British Isles, however, the vast majority of Canadians consid-ered themselves loyal members of a world-wide family of British nations, each of them prepared to fi ght for the Empire.

Drysdale wins nominationfor Conservatives innew federal riding

FRANK BUCHOLTZTimes Reporter

Former Langley Township council-lor Dean Drysdale is the Conserva-tive candidate in the new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.

Drysdale, who served on council from 1996 to 2002, won on the third ballot over Mike Garisto of Clover-dale. Former Liberal MLA Dave Hay-er was forced off the ballot after the second round, while Tako van Pop-ta had to withdraw after the fi rst round.

Voting took place at A.J. McLellan Elementary in Cloverdale on Sat-urday. More than 1,300 members of the electoral district association took part.

Drysdale has run federally before, represent-ing the Canadian Alliance in the Quebec riding of Vaudreuil-Soulanges in 2000. He was asked by the party to run in that riding outside Montreal, as he is fl uently bilingual.

Last week, the Conservative Party told candi-dates Gurmant Grewal and Paul Brar that they had to withdraw from the nomination race. The reasons have not been made public. That changed the dynamics of the nomination voting, Drysdale said Monday.

“I don’t think anyobody (the candidates) knew exactly where anyone was,” he said.

Drysdale said he plans to fi nish teaching this semester and then take a leave of absence to pre-pare for the election, expected next October. He plans to get out into the community and spend lots of time meeting people.

He expects the Conservatives to campaign on

the issue of “competence,” citing the party’s record as government since 2006.

Drysdale will face Liberal candi-date John Aldag in the riding. The NDP have yet to select a candidate.

“I’m humbled to have been se-lected by Conservative members to represent Cloverdale-Langley City in the next election,” Drysdale said. “In the next election the stakes are high and Canadians will have a clear choice between the strong leadership of Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper, and the high risk of Justin Trudeau.”

Drysdale is currently teaching as a Professor of Business Management

at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and runs his own consulting fi rm in the area of corporate fi -nance.

Since 1981, he has served in the Canadian Army Reserves, currently with a rank of Lieu-tenant Colonel. Trained as an artillery offi cer, he commanded the 15th Field Regiment, RCA from 2001 to 2004. In 2004, he was appointed Canadi-an vice-president of the CIOR, which is the NATO association of Reserve Offi cers. Since 2008, he has served as a Regional Liaison Offi cer attached to the Joint Task Force Pacifi c HQ. He attended the Militia Command and Staff College and has taught as a civilian on the U.S. Marine Corps Com-mand and Staff College as well as participating in the Persian Gulf War as a journalist attached to the Egyptian Army.

The new riding takes in Langley City, a tiny strip of the Township west of 200 Street and stretches as far west as 144 Street in Surrey.

A man was stabbed at the Carvolth bus exchange on Friday evening. He said he was attacked by a man and a woman, but police are investigating his story, which they say “doesn’t make sense right now.”

A stabbing of a man waiting at the Carvolth Exchange bus loop on Friday appears to be targeted, confi rm police.

“The story the victim is telling us doesn’t make sense right now, so we are continuing to investigate,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

A man said he was waiting for a bus around 7 p.m. Friday, when he was pepper sprayed and stabbed by a man and woman.

A heartless thief stole Poppy Fund money from the Bibles for Missions Thrift Store in Langley last Thurs-day (Nov. 6).

Staff at the store, lo-cated on 200 Street, have released a picture of the suspect and are hoping someone can identify the man.

A surveillance pic-ture of a man who stole a poppy box in Abbots-ford was released to the media last week, leading to an arrest.

If you have any infor-mation that can help identify him call Lang-ley RCMP at 604-532-3200.


The jackpot of earnings Lang-ley City receives from Cascades Casino is still in the millions of dollars, but it isn’t the windfall it used to be, and council wants to know why.

The City projected its revenue from the casino for 2014 would be $5.75 million, and it actually will be $5.5 million, down $213,000 from what it expected.

When the casino fi rst opened in Langley City in 2005, it was sharing revenues with the City of around $7 million per year. All casinos must share 10 per cent of the revenues with the host municipality.

According to the City’s director of corporate services Darren Leite, Langley City has received $213,000 less than it budgeted for this year.

The trend appears to be that casino revenues are in decline, whether it be from the satura-tion of casinos, online gaming or the downturn in the economy.

“The City is really dependent on the casino’s successes,” said Coun-cillor Dave Hall at the last meeting.

He then asked if a casino repre-sentative could come to council to explain the decline, and talk about the future.

“Then we could get a sense on revenue trends,” said Hall.

Another reason casino revenues are down is BC Lottery Corporation took more money than usual in the fi rst quarter of 2014, after the Crown corporation did some ma-jor restructuring. It meant there was lofty severance to be paid out.

“They had extraordinary higher expenditures that quarter, which

meant our share was less,” said Leite.Casino revenues allowed the City to become

debt-free, something very few municipalities can do.

As of February, the City had collected $53.6 million in casino revenues. Most of the funds have been used to pay down debt and improve infrastructure.

A surveillance camera caught the image of this man who is suspected to have stolen Poppy Fund money from a Langley thrift store on Thursday. Police are seek-ing public assistance in identifying him. A surveillance photo last week in Abbotsford led to the arrest of a man who committed a similar crime.

A Kamloops group that is work-ing to increase voter turnout from 29 per cent in 2011 to 50 per cent in 2014 has inspired Marilyn Fischer of Triple A Senior Housing to issue a challenge in Langley.

Local turnout for the 2011 election in the Township was 25.9 per cent, and in the City it was 20.9 per cent. Anything less than 30 per cent is considered very low.

“This is a very important election given the extension of terms from three to four years and the import-ant issues that both the City and Township are facing,” she says.

“Therefore, Triple A Senior Hous-ing is hereby issuing a friendly chal-lenge to the Township and City to see which community can increase their voter turnout the most.”

Fischer added an incentive to her challenge.

Her group, which sponsored two all-candidates meetings at the Langley Seniors Centre, is calling on all candidates from both the City and Township to make a pledge of $50 or more to their choice of one of the two charities it has selected — the Langley Christmas Bureau and the B.C. Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Candidates from the jurisdiction, City or Township, with the highest percentage increase in voter turn-out, would be expected to make good on their pledge to their chosen charity. Voters in that jurisdiction could possibly consider the candi-dates’ donations a reward for get-ting the vote out.

Fischer hopes the two challenges will inspire people to get out and vote on Saturday. Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Langley City hopefuls were questioned at close range during a seniors election forum on Wednesday.

The event at the Langley Seniors Resource Cen-tre drew around 100 people, who had the chance to raise issues with candidates as they moved from table to table in the centre’s large main hall.

This was the fi rst year the centre has hosted forums for candidates, holding separate sessions for Township and City hopefuls on different days.

Concerns about crime and resources for older residents appeared to get the most attention.

During opening remarks different candidates courted the seniors vote in different ways, with acting mayor Ted Schaffer noting that he has the endorsement of previous mayors Aubrey Searle, Peter Fassbender and Joe Lopushinsky.

“Politics brings strange people together,” Schaf-fer said.

Mayoralty hopeful Randy Caine said that he was there to dispel the myth that he is a single-issue candidate.

“Breadth is important,” Caine said.Ray Lewis said if he is elected mayor he will

take steps to make the city a safer place.“Seniors especially, I feel, are feeling very

threatened. It’s not safe to walk down the street,” Lewis said.

In contest for one of six council seats, Paul Al-brecht promised a “fresh perspective,” and incum-bent Jack Arnold said voters had the opportunity to elect three new councillors while returning the three incumbents, allowing “you guys” to bring new blood to council while keeping experience.

Incumbent Dave Hall said voters who look at his record will see that he is truly politically in-dependent. Christine MacIntosh offered to have coffee with attendees who wanted to know her better, saying “I have guided my life by respect-ing my elders and listening to them,” and Miriam Marshall said she will work to create an “offi cial seniors committee” for Langley.

Incumbent Gayle Martin said her time on coun-cil offers experience and stability, Sharon New-bery said as a local business owner she is con-cerned about crime and the change in the city’s “economic base” and Nathan Pachal said he would bring “fresh ideas” and make the commu-nity more accessible through measures like wid-er sidewalks.

Carla Robin pointed out that she worked as the fi rst United Way-funded seniors co-ordinator in the city, Rudy Storteboom said his mother, who was present, would vouch for him as a good son who takes his responsibilities seriously, and Val van den Broek talked about her volunteer work as an auxiliary police offi cer who “understands what needs to be done.”

A Langley man’s identity was stolen in 2011 and it’s been a nightmare ever since, with cellphones purchased in his name

twice. Most recently, a

U-Haul rental van was stolen in his name.

Now Langley RCMP are revealing surveillance footage of the suspected

identity thief, in hopes someone can identify him.

Police were called to the U-Haul rental outlet on July 26 and told that one of their cube vans had been rented on July 17 and not returned fi ve days later, as was agreed.

A representative of the U-Haul company

called the man identifi ed on the rental agreement who advised the truck would be returned.

To date, it still has not.

Police went to the home of the man named on the contract and discovered this man had been the victim of identity theft.

His wallet containing all his identifi cation had been stolen back in 2011 and he has been the victim of ID theft ever since.

He is in the process of dealing with this issue, said police.

Investigators confi rm the man who rented the U-Haul did so fraudulently by using stolen ID. If you can assist with this man’s identity call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

A business associate and former campaign manager for Township mayoralty contender Rick Green created the website for the Langley “Unelection campaign” that aims to unseat in-cumbent mayor Jack Froese and other mem-bers of council.

Ian Cameron, a long-time friend and business associate of Green, told The Times he accepted the volun-teer assignment before Green announced his candidacy.

“I had no idea Rick was running,” Camer-on said on Thursday (Nov. 6).

The website for Rick Green Associates lists Cameron as an “Asso-ciate, Marketing.”

Green told The Times that he suggested Cameron when he was asked if he knew any-one who could build a website for the Unelec-tion campaign.

“I had numerous calls from people ask-ing advice,” Green told The Times.

“[Asking] ‘did you know somebody who

can help us out with the website?’ and I said yeah, I know a friend.”

Green said Camer-on also built the Rick Green Associates web-site.

Unelection campaign spokesperson Andy Schildhorn said Cam-eron agreed to build the www.unelection-campaign.ca site about six months ago.

“It was done for free,” Schildhorn said.

“I didn’t even know who Ian Cameron was

[when he agreed to do the work].”

In response to a Times query, Schildhorn said the group wasn’t work-ing with any of the mu-nicipal contenders.

“We have no candi-dates in our group,” Schildhorn said, add-ing “there is no con-spiracy here.”

Green said Camer-on was his campaign manager in 2008, when he won election as Township mayor, but not this year.

Green described Cameron as an “old friend” and long-time business associate.

“We go back to my

food industry days,” Green said, adding “there’s absolutely no connection with me [and the Unelection Campaign] … there’s no smoking gun.”

The Unelection Campaign launched its website in August, with four identifi ed members; Schildhorn, Lee Lockwood, Anna R. (who refuses to give her last name) and Bob Duncan.

It sponsored a well-attended all-can-didates meeting on Fri-day. The Times will pub-lish a report from that meeting in Thursday’s paper.

The campaign web-site gives Mayor Jack Froese and Council-lors Grant Ward, Char-lie Fox, Bev Dornan and Steve Ferguson “Fs” and recommends against re-electing them.

Councillors Michelle Sparrow and Bob Long received “C-” marks, with cautious re-elec-tion endorsements, while Councillors Kim Richter and David Da-vis received “Bs.”

The website has not, as yet, rated non-in-cumbent candidates like Green, who served one term as mayor be-fore his defeat by Fro-ese.

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Are you satisfi ed with the work of the Langley Board of Education in advocating for new schools?

Do you plan to attend Remembrance Day services on Nov. 11??of the week

Questionwe asked you:Last Week

The First World War was well underway 100 years ago today. It began in July, 1914 and, in the early days, people thought it would be over by Christmas.

That caused young men, including many in Langley, to clamour to get overseas so they wouldn’t miss any of the action.

In fact, the war extended for four more years — ending on Nov. 11, 1918. It was one of the deadliest confl icts in history, with more than nine million combatants killed, along with seven million civilians. It led directly to the Russian Revolution, severe infl ation in Germany and the eventual rise to power of the Nazis, the ineffective League of Nations and ultimately to the Second World War.

Remembrance Day began as an effort to remember the horrifi c slaughter and the sacrifi ces made by soldiers, from Canada and many other countries, in that war. It has been observed here for many years. At one time, there was minimal participation by the public, but that has changed dramatically in the past 10 to 15 years, and this year’s events will likely be even bigger, given that the deaths of two Canadian soldiers in Canada last month are very fresh in many people’s minds.

The two World Wars, Korean War, peacekeeping mis-sions, Persian Gulf War and Afghan confl ict are all remem-bered at Remembrance Day ceremonies. Soldiers lost their lives in all of them.

A message from King George V to the families of each Canadian soldier killed in the First World War is worth quoting in its entirety:

“I join with my grateful people in sending you this me-morial of a brave life given for others in the Great War.”

Let’s follow his example and remember the brave lives given on our behalf, as we stand with the families of sol-diers today, and mark Remembrance Day.

How will you mark Remembrance Day this year?

In 2014, as we mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War — so erroneous-ly dubbed ‘the war to end all wars’ following

the horrifi c confl ict — we pause to refl ect how different our world is today than when those young men and women left their homes for the far-fl ung battlefi elds of Europe.

At the same time, we recognize that the risks today’s service men and women face remain all too real. As recent events in Quebec and Ontario remind us, our Armed Forc-es personnel are not only at risk when fi ghting on foreign soil. Each day, both at home and abroad, service personnel strive to keep Canada and Canadians secure; sometimes putting their lives at risk in doing so.

It’s likely in response to this that local members of the Royal Canadian Legion noticed a spike of early interest among those looking for poppies this year.

In fact, as the number of veterans from those early bat-tles dwindles each Nov. 11, we see renewed demonstra-tions of remembrance from younger generations — from soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, their families and friends, and the community at large.

Local author and historian Mark Zuehlke, last week awarded the 2014 Pierre Berton Award: the Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media for his contri-butions to the promotion of Canadian history, has seen a shift in recent years, not only to those participating at Remembrance Day services, but also those actively seek-ing the stories that formed such a signifi cant part of our national identity.

From the traditional readership of veterans and histo-ry circles who sought out his Canadian Battle Series ti-tles, Zuehlke has seen signifi cant growth among younger readership, nearly half of which are women in the 35- to 65-year-old demographic. These are people interested in their family stories, the generations that came before, and how their experiences shaped the society we now enjoy.

“I’m very heartened when I go to the cenotaphs on Nov. 11 and see all these families there with their kids; you didn’t see that 15 years ago,” Zuehlke refl ected. “I think people started thinking about remembrance more.”

— Goldstream News Gazette

Voter turnout may bemost intriguing factor

The 2014 municipal election is al-most upon us. It is very fi tting that it follows Remembrance Day by just a few days. Without the sacri-fi ce of many soldiers and civilians in previous wars, which were of no direct benefi t to Canada, we would not have the luxury of participat-ing freely and fairly in elections.

Here’s some thoughts on this year’s election.

I sense that many people are in a mood for change, particularly in Langley Township, but also to a lesser degree in the City. The provincial govern-ment’s dictum that there will not be a high school built in Willoughby unless Langley School District comes up with a substan-tial amount of capital funds has served to wake many people up to the shortage of needed services in Willoughby. Construc-tion of new homes by the thousands does not make a community.

While Willoughby is defi nitely a “work in progress,” having enough school spaces for the children who live there today is es-sential. It is very hard for incumbents who have supported development in Willough-by to defend the lack of schools, particular-ly as they have no say on their fi nancing.

Whether this awareness of the shortage of services will affect voter turnout is a big question. Historically, people in Willough-by have not voted in very great numbers. Maybe this is the election where that will change.

The Willoughby school issue is also a factor in the board of education election, although virtually all trustee candidates realize that a high school there must get the go-ahead as soon as possible.

The other big factor in the Township

elections is the Brookswood-Fern-ridge OCP. The proposed plan infu-riated residents of the community in the spring, with many only fi nd-out about it very late in the game. While that is not unusual, the in-tensity of the reaction was.

All members of council, except Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Grant Ward, saw the lack of com-munity support and voted against it. But will Brookswood and Fernridge residents who were angry actually

get out and vote? The usual Township turn-out rate of 18 to 25 per cent is appalling, and hugely favours incumbents. No incumbent councillor has lost since 2002.

In the City, with no incumbent mayor, there is a vigorous three-way race under-way. Acting mayor Ted Schaffer is chal-lenged by Randy Caine, who knows the issues and has a well-organized campaign, and Ray Lewis, who is pushing the hot-but-ton crime issue — the top issue in the City.

There are three open seats on council, and many excellent reasons to vote in the City, which had a 21 per cent tturnout in 2011.

Hopefully, voters will select candidates from a variety of perspectives to sit on all three local bodies.

I applaud Triple A Senior Housing for is-suing a challenge to the Township and City, to see which community can increase their voter turnout the most. That’s a challenge worth taking.

The Times has plenty of information for prospective voters on our website, includ-ing videos from candidates’ meetings and debates. There are also questions and an-swers from candidates. Advance polls are open on Wednesday, and polls are open Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Editor: Let’s take time to remember those that fought for freedom.

Many lives were forever altered and changed by the Second World War. How many young men went off to war, with hero dreams dancing in their heads, and came back with nightmarish visions that would stay with them for the rest of their lives?

Most of them would never talk about their experiences.

My Dad was such a person. He enlisted to serve in the war. He left the comfort of home to fi ght for everyone’s right to en-joy freedom. Just before he left, his Mom asked him what he wanted her to keep for him, and he called back “My skates — make sure you keep my skates for when I return.” That was the last she saw of him for many years.

He went to England and signed up as a motorcycle dispatcher. He would carry vital plans and communications about the war front from camp to camp. The success of the war depended on the ac-curate and timely delivery of these com-munications. One unfortunate day, as he was travelling under the cover of the dark of night, he met with an unfortu-nate accident.

It was a dark and foggy night with a slight drizzle of rain as is so commonly found in the English moors. The little

dirt road he travelled on twisted its way through the vales and cliffs of the coun-tryside. The leather pouch resting on the side of his motorbike was fi lled with the strategies that, hopefully would win the war for the Allies.

He relentlessly drove through the pitch black of night carefully following every hairpin twist and turn in the road. He ap-proached a corner and suddenly a large truck seemed to appear out of nowhere. It fi lled his vision like an unexpected spectre in the night. There was no time to react.

A screech of tires, the wail of engines trying to stop, fi lled my Dad’s senses as he was tragically pulled under the truck. Then all was black, until he awoke again on the side of the road. His bike — a piti-ful mangled scrap metal heap — lay by his side. His leg was laying beside him at an odd angle.

He remembered wondering whose leg it was that was lying so close to him. Then, there was the awful realization that it was his leg, twisted back in an unnatural, unearthly position. The pain started screeching at him just before he, once again, passed out. He and his dreams were now laying on the road — in the drizzle, in the dark, all alone.

He was shipped home to Toronto where he spent fi ve years in a veterans’ hospital

while the doctors tried to rebuild his leg. They told him that he would never walk on it again. They wanted to amputate, but he was determined to save his leg and refused to let them sever his lifeless limb. He did walk on it again — at fi rst with the help of crutches, then a cane, then a large boot with a leg brace for the rest of his life. His leg no longer could bend at the knee, but was rather like a stiff piece of lumber attached to him that got him around from place to place.

Dreams of youth dissipated after the war, including youthful dreams of skat-ing again, of doing things that one used to do. The world changed that day for my Dad.

For many, the war was not a singular event but rather a lifelong event that changed their lives forever. For many, the price they paid for our freedom lasted the rest of their lives. These are the un-sung heroes of yesterday.

They left their homes and families to secure a better life for future generations.

Let us not forget!Wear a poppy this year just for them.

They paid a price and we need to ac-knowledge that!

CATHY DASILVA,

LANGLEY

The unsung heroes of yesterday

Editor: Have we forgotten the history of the Willoughby OCP and the provincial proposal for 208 Street?

It seems that during an elec-tion campaign, people’s mem-ories become conveniently vague. The Willoughby OCP has been in the works since before the 1990s. The many neigh-bourhoods and excellent de-signs for green space and the concept of a“walking friendly” area were well-considered by former Township planner Terry Lyster.

There were many communi-ty meetings and opportunities for input from the public over the past 20-plus years, as the

OCP took shape.Each neighbourhood plan has

been accompanied by many more community meetings and “readings” before approval.

There really is a coherent de-velopment process in the plan-ning department of the Town-ship of Langley. Now, years later, people forget that there has been due process.

Sure, there are growing pains — general disruption, construc-tion impediments and more car traffi c as the area grows.

TransLink hasn’t been very helpful in reducing the num-ber of cars on the road. As the province developed the Car-volth Exchange, TransLink did

not provide community shuttle service to the commuters of the rapidly growing Willoughby area — hence the traffi c con-gestion.

There is no bus service east of 200 Street between Highway 1 and 68 Avenue, which takes in most of Willoughby.

Also of note, a few years ago the province proposed that 208 Street become a secondary truck route. With the funding support of the provincial gov-ernment, the whole road would have developed into four lanes. What happened?

Many of the residents were up in arms about the proposal and it was rejected. Now we

have the piecemeal widening of 208 Street, a block at a time. It is widened as it is developed (as part of the developer’s obli-gation) — hence the mess that it is.

To the politicians I say, please check the history of the Wil-loughby OCP and remember the good proposals that have come. Some have gone by the wayside.

No single politician can claim to be a saviour. Several may-ors and many councillors have gone before you and tried to make the best decisions for Langley.

LANGLEY

Most Canadians shared the view of Sir Wilfred Laurier, Canada’s former prime minister: “When Great Britain is at war, Canada is at war!” It therefore came as no surprise that when Britain declared war on Germany in early August, Cana-da also began to mobilize.

Canadian support for the Empire’s cause was greatest in the nation’s westernmost province, where over half the population was British-born and 68 per cent of residents claimed British ancestry. Many of these were recent immigrants from an over-crowded mother country who had come to British Columbia in search of cheaper land, new opportunities, and a healthier, wealth-ier life.

Though Langley was by no means the most British community in the province, its recent population growth had been largely fuelled by immigration from the British Isles. The new arrivals were a mixture of families and young single males, includ-ing skilled agricultural and industrial labourers. Many came to their new homes with varying degrees of military experience, having served in the British army overseas or in their home counties’ militia units.

Even so, of all the belligerent nations, Canada was perhaps the least prepared for war. The Royal Canadian Navy was barely four years old, equipped with two aging cruisers, and boasted a total strength of just 295 offi cers and men. The nation’s army was only slightly stronger, but with a permanent force of 3,110 offi cers and men, it posed little threat to the millions of Ger-mans and Austrians then under arms overseas.

Canada’s military strength lay instead in its local militias, the equivalent of today’s army re-serves. These totalled between 45,000 and 60,000 men, each of its members more or less trained in the arts of drill and musketry.

A handful of Langley men, such as Aldergrove sawmill worker Crossland Oddy, belonged to Vancouver’s Duke of Connaught’s Own Regi-ment. Others, like Fort Langley fi sherman Jesse Wright, were members of what would later become the Royal Westminster Regiment.

Langley had no militia unit, though attempts had been made to establish an arm of the West-minsters in nearby Cloverdale. With war on the

horizon, however, Langley residents took steps to establish a force of their own. Initially known as the Langley Volunteers, this small group of men was subsequently designated as “C” Squadron of the 31st B.C. Horse (Mounted Rifl es). The unit appears to have been led by Art Johnston, a veteran of the Boer War and proprietor of the general store then housed on the ground fl oor of the old Murrayville Hall.

Others involved in the organization included George Blair, Langley’s chief of police (and only policeman); George Sellers, a prominent resident of Fort Langley; Archie Payne, the clerk of the municipal council; Dr. Benjamin Marr, Langley’s sole physician; Dave Lattimer, owner of Milner’s livery stable; Fort Langley blacksmith George Medd; and Murrayville poultry-man Harry Witcombe. Formerly a sergeant in the Royal

Garrison Artillery’s gun-nery school, Witcombe took charge of instructing the unit in military drill.

During the autumn of 1914, Langley’s squadron of the B.C. Horse rode out every week-end, honing its riding skills and patrolling the country-side.

Fears that enemy saboteurs would slip across the interna-tional boundary were appar-ently pervasive. The British Columbian refl ected these concerns when it reported in

early October:“The B.C. Horse were out on a scouting expe-

dition in Abbotsford on Saturday, camped there that night and rode back to Langley on Sunday afternoon after thoroughly patrolling the border country. Desperados and Germans who cannot give a good account of themselves had better keep across the line!”

The formation of the B.C. Horse was timely, the outbreak of war having thrown the country into a state of considerable panic. Innocent, but inexplicable occurrences were routinely attribut-ed to the German menace. When the pot-bellied stove in Milner’s general store exploded, fi ngers were pointed at a suspicious stranger who locals recalled hanging about the area the day before. Mysterious lights in the sky over Aldergrove were feared to be a German aircraft. Even the bother-some thistles that lined Langley’s roads felt the community’s ire, being characterized as German, rather than native weeds, and thus all the more threatening.

Port Kells farmer Carl von Mackensen, a nephew of the soon-to-be-famous German fi eld marshal, was labelled a German spy and interned in Vernon. Many considered his hilltop mansion, with its interconnecting passages and rumoured secret tunnel, a hot-bed of enemy espionage.

Burdened with a Ger-man-sounding surname, Mur-rayville’s hitherto-respected Hagelstein family felt obliged to become the Hazelsons, if only for the war’s duration. Even the community’s wartime mayor, Irish-born Robert Wark, suffered at the hands of the hysteria. As Wark’s daughter Mary recalled 90 years later:

“My mother tended to hire as household help women who desperately needed a job and for whom she felt sorry. (We got an occasional doozy!). One of these decided that my fa-ther, an Irishman with a brogue right out of Londonderry, was a German spy.

“She made this known fre-quently to all within earshot. I can still see my Dad striding down the road to the station, her suitcase on his shoulder, the lady following close behind screaming that accusation at him.”

In the face of all these false alarms, the Langley unit of the B.C. Horse must have been gratifi ed when it encountered a group of apparently genuine Austrian reservists trying to avoid internment.

As the British Columbian

reported: warned of their presence by Police Chief Blair, “Corporal Marr and Sergeant Sellers, with Privates Bartlett, Gay, Hope, Wright, Ripley, and others, left the Fort at the gallop” in pursuit of the enemy soldiers.

Rendezvousing with Captain Art Johnston at Milner, the B.C. Horse continued south to the American border, surrounded the alleged reservists in their camp, took them into custody, and sent them by hired bus to jail in New Westminster. But the Langley men’s hour of glory quickly descended into farce. While riding across a wooden bridge, Dr. Marr’s horse “fell foul of the planking and slipped half way through. Constable Blair’s horse, coming on behind, kicked Marr twice,” rendering him lame for a week.

Ironically, Dr. Marr had earlier written to Sir Sam Hughes, the Minister of Militia, offering his services as a cavalry offi cer.

With an army already bur-dened with surplus horsemen, Hughes declined Marr’s offer. But Marr was persistent and eventually trained for the cavalry.

When the army fi nally realized the limitations of cavalry in a highly mechanized war, Marr transferred to the Canadian Army Medical Corps, serving both in England and on the Western Front. The British Columbian proved accurate in predicting a distinguished career for the doctor: “In future years, Fort Langley residents may have good cause to be thankful for experience gained

at the terrible instance of war.” Despite its initial celebrity,

Langley’s unit of the B.C. Horse melted away as its offi cers and men enlisted in units destined for service overseas. There, danger from loose planking faded into insignifi cance in the face of the indescribable hor-rors of trench warfare. Soldiers sent to Europe were not “home by Christmas” as many had predicted.

Troops on both sides dug in for a lengthy war of attrition. In the face of modern, mecha-nized warfare, men on horse-back were routinely re-desig-nated as foot soldiers.

Art Johnston, the Langley unit’s senior member, became a major in the 102nd Canadi-an Infantry Battalion and was posted to Belgium in June 1916.

Three months later, while leaving the safety of his dugout to help relieve another compa-ny, a stray bullet hit him in the temple. Johnston died almost instantly, lamented by his men and admired by his command-ing offi cer “as a friend, com-rade, and soldier.”

Sgt. Jesse Wright, son of George and Mary Wright of Fort Langley, was killed in action at Vimy in April 1917, a few days after the Canadian Corps’s much-lauded capture of the strategic ridge. Wright has no known grave and is remem-bered on the Canadian Memo-rial at Vimy.

Lt. George Sellers, a Fort Langley land agent, boat-build-er and entrepreneur, survived three years of unspeakably bloody combat, only to be cut down by a German bullet eight weeks before the Armistice.

Not long after, his widow succumbed to the Spanish fl u, her two young children

left as orphans. Seventeen years later, the

Sellers’ newly-married daugh-ter Kitty honoured her father’s memory by placing her fl oral bouquet on Vernon’s cenotaph on leaving her wedding service.

Archie Bartlett, an early member of the B.C. Horse, enlisted in the Canadian Army Service Corps in October 1917. The morning he was to have reported to his unit a neigh-

bour found him dead in his Fort Langley shack, a rifl e by his side. Bartlett had been an active and apparently con-tented member of the Langley community; his inner torment and suicide were never fully explained.

Sgt. Harry Witcombe sur-vived the war, having served as an artillery instructor in England and later, as a gunner in France.

Many years later, his mind perhaps unhinged by carnage witnessed on the battlefi eld, he too ended his life with a shotgun blast.

Alex Hope eventually enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps, but got no nearer the front than Texas.

In later years he became active in politics, serving as

Langley’s reeve and later as its MLA. George Medd served as a driver and farrier in the Canadian Artillery and lived out his life in Langley. George Ripley returned to his native Ireland but resettled in British Columbia after the war, where he died in 1929, aged just 36.

Archie Payne and Dr. Marr both survived the war, Payne having earned the Military Cross for gallantry under fi re at the Battle of Passchendaele. When the two men met again in Langley, the community was a vastly different place.

Close to half the adult male population had served in uniform. Of those, one in ten lay buried in the blood-soaked fi elds of France or Flanders: victims of shell-fi re, machine gun bullets, or poisonous gas.

Dozens more would never re-turn to Langley; the disruption of war had directed their lives elsewhere.

Stirred by memories of service and suffering overseas, Marr and Payne lobbied to have the roads of Langley renamed in memory of the fallen.

Payne became a champion of veterans’ rights and helped to found the Langley branch of the Great War Veterans Associ-ation, now the Royal Canadian Legion.

Marr initiated the planting of memorial trees throughout the Township and inspired the construction of the Murrayville and Fort Langley cenotaphs.

Although the Langley squadron of the B.C. Horse had disbanded by the time the me-morials were completed, the sacrifi ce of its members would long be remembered.

Warren Sommer is an author currently working on a book about Langley and the First World War.

Beautify your home Valley Direct Furniture isn’t your cookie-

cutter home-furnishing store.What started as a home-based business

has bloomed into one of the Fraser Valley’s most reputable destinations for stylish and functional furnishings.

The Langley family-run retail destination opened its doors over 23 years ago, offering a wide range of eclectic furniture, ranging from shabby sheik and modern to country or transitional.

Owner Martin Horner consistently strives to bring in the latest and greatest products for his customers.

“We’re not anything like a’ big box’ store where you’ll fi nd the ‘same-old’ commodity items made from materials that won’t last and end up in our landfi lls,” said the Langley entrepreneur, who owns Valley Direct Furniture at 19853 Fraser Hwy, as well as the Valley Direct Furniture Outlet store at 5511 192 St.

“Our distinct products – some of which are manufactured locally– are so different from what you’ll fi nd anywhere else. We’re selling a style, a look.”

While both the main store and outlet offer top-notch service and a great selection, there is a distinct variation between the two, notes Horner.

“Our main store is more fashion-forward... we’re always striving to fi nd the next colour or style in the industry,” he said.

“The outlet location buys some ‘close-out inventory’ and ships older merchandise in so that our customers save money!”

And while some of the eclectic furnishings are constantly revolving through the door of the outlet store and is available

for immediate delivery at both locations, the main store is known for its made-to-order-furnishings.

Christmas can be a stress-ful time. Especially if you’re the angel in charge of it all.

SAMC Theatre’s Butterfi n-gers Angel follows the wit-less Gabriel on a wild ride that’s full of surprises. Far from traditional, this fast and funny Nativity is a pow-erful tale of human struggle wrapped up in the clum-siest, kookiest Christmas pageant imaginable.

Onstage at Trinity West-ern University from Nov. 18 to 29, William Gibson’s holi-day hit is offi cially titled The Butterfi ngers Angel, Mary & Joseph, Herod the Nut, & the Slaughter of 12 Hit Carols in a Pear Tree.

This imaginative twist on tradition includes a nar-cissistic Pear Tree, a sinis-ter tyrant king, and “wise” men who are anything but. Meanwhile, Mary and Joseph are hardly a match made in heaven. Or are they?

“This show captures the heart of the Christmas story, both the light and the darkness,” said Shel-by Wyminga, who plays a spunky version of Mary.

“Instead of stiff stereo-types, we get a glimpse into the way ordinary people handle extraordinary cir-cumstances, from the naive newlyweds to the donkey who hates her job.

“Beneath the laughter, this story also explores doubt and danger, hopes and fears — it’s sincere and relatable.”

Paul Muir, a visiting art-ist from Alberta’s Rosebud Theatre, directs a cast of TWU actors and local chil-dren, who guest-star as the cutest collection of talking animals Langley has ever seen.

With costumes by Mel Alpe, set by Margaret Toom-ey, and lighting by Graham Ockley, the visual world of

the play is as enchanting as Gibson’s script.

Sponsored by Great-West Life, Butterfi ngers Angel stars Uliana Aku-lenko, Ruby Alstad, MacK-enzie Cameron, Charlotte Elgersma, Sage MacPher-son, Ashlyn McCarthy, Ki-ara McCarthy, Favour Onwuka, Esther Owobow-ale, Teagan Plett, Sam Ravensbergen, Steven Simpson, Geoffrey Webb, and Shelby Wyminga.

The show is stage man-aged by Elizabeth Drum-mond, Courtney Brice, and Mikayla Wust.

Playing Nov. 18 to 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday to Satur-day, with discounted Sat-urday matinees at 2 p.m. Come on the second Tues-day for a Q&A talkback with the cast.

For tickets and informa-tion, visit www.twu.ca/the-atre or call 604-513-2121 ex-tension 3872.

Auction supports

children’s charities‘BUTTERFINGERS ANGEL’ RUNS NOV. 18-29


Over the weekend we welcomed a new addition to our clan — a strapping, 18-pound baby boy.

After living in a pre-dominately estro-gen-ruled household, where pink prevails —especially in the laun-dry basket — daddy fi nally has his little man.

Like many concep-tions, our new bambi-no was the result of a little too much vino.

Well, kind of.After a couple glass-

es of merlot one eve-ning, daddy, all glassy

eyed and merry, looked at me from across the dinner table and said the four little words I’d been waiting to hear.

“Let’s get a dog.”Before he could take

it back, our two daugh-ters, Molly 5, and Zoe, 3, leapt out of their seats, jumping for joy.

“Yay, we’re get-ting a dog, we’re get-ting a dog,” they both cheered in unison.

“I’m not talking about right away...,” stammered Daddy, as the reality of his verbal slip-up sank in.

“Maybe in a few

months...or, like next summer?”

And so began our hunt for the ‘perfect’ pooch the very next day.

Friends suggested we go the rescue-dog route, which meant fi lling out applications and meeting various furry fellas to see if they’d be the right fi t.

Our fi rst meet and greet didn’t exactly go as planned.

Bentley, a handsome one-year-old golden lab/basset hound was just a little too frisky for Zoe’s liking.

All he wanted to do was give kisses, jump up and do what young male dogs love to do to legs, teddy bears, pil-lows — I’m sure you get my drift.

Sadly, his size and energy level terrifi ed our canine-shy pre-schooler.

During the meet and greet, we also discov-ered that the police were about to pull a car containing a dead body from the shore, adjacent to the dog-walk park.

It looked like a crime scene straight out of CSI.

“You might want to get your kids out of here right now — it’s going to be a gruesome scene,” said a police offi cer, who ushered crowd of spectators away.

That afternoon we left without a dog, but promised a tearful Molly in the backseat that we wouldn’t give up on our search.

“Honey, maybe the grisly police scene at the park was some sort of a sign that he’s not the one?” whispered

Jason on the drive home.

“Maybe,” I re-plied, holding back tears my-self.

Even before meeting Bent-ley, I had fall-en in love with his photo on the rescue site, and realizing he wasn’t the right fi t for our family was a tough bone to chew.

We applied for a few more dogs, but would fi nd out that they al-ready found their for-ever homes.

The whole process was emotionally ex-hausting. I was ready to take a break from our dog hunt, but then we found him.

Jason was at work when my mom and I took the girls to a farm out in Langley to meet with two puppies that were up for adoption.

“Are you sure you want a puppy,” asked my mom on the drive over.

“They’re a lot of work; you guys can’t even keep your gold-

fi sh alive.”To be fair,

they were beta fi sh and we had been real-ly good about feeding them and changing the water in the bowl.

After fl ush-ing our eighth ‘Sophia’ down

the toilet and dealing with the dev-astation from our daughters, we were more than ready to upgrade our family pet from a fi n to a fur baby.

They say that you don’t choose your dog, they choose you — I couldn’t agree more.

While one of the puppies ran and hid from us, the other leapt into my arms, showered me with kisses and then tucked his teeny-tiny face un-der my chin.

“I think you found the one and so did he,” said my misty-eyed mom, who was al-ready head-over-paws for her new granddog-gie.

Before making a fi nal decision, we asked Zoe

and Molly if he was the one.

Both girls had their arms around him, gig-gling as he jumped up to gently greet them.

“I’m not scared of him, mommy. He’s the perfect baby brother for us,” said Zoe, who was also clearly smit-ten.

At that moment I whipped out my phone to take a photo and send it to daddy at work.

“It’s a boy!,” I texted.Aside from a pen-

chant for pooping in mommy’s offi ce, Tuck-er is a perfect little pooch.

As he gets more comfortable with his new surroundings, I’m sure he’ll get up to all kinds of trouble, which will make great fodder for future Pink Laundry columns.

All the way from the Nether-lands, the “Powerhouse of Pi-ano,” acclaimed Dutch pianist and composer Jeroen Van Veen, comes to Langley Community Music School (LCMS) to perform in the Concerts Café Classico concert series on Sunday, Nov. 16, followed by a free workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Renowned for his minimalist style and fl awless passion, the “intellectually interesting and emotionally gratifying” perfor-mances of Jeroen Van Veen con-tinue to be heralded by critics. the New York Times declared one of his recent projects “the best recording ever.”

Van Veen has toured the globe performing minimal music with crossover fl avours of jazz, blues, soundscape, avant-garde, techno, trance and pop.

He has produced more than 100 CDs and has been featured on radio and television in Eu-rope, Asia and America.

Currently touring Canada, Van Veen will return to Langley to treat the Concerts Café Classico audience to the music from his latest CDs, featuring composers such as Philip Glass, Arvo Part, Ludovico Einaudi, Douwe Eisen-ga, JacobTV, as well as his own original compositions.

The event starts at 2:30 p.m., with a conversation with Van Veen, hosted by LCMS artistic director Elizabeth Bergmann.

Listen to some anecdotal sto-ries, gain some insight into life as a world-traveling performer, and learn the meaning behind the music.

There will be a short break with coffee and refreshments,

before the performance, which takes place from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jeroen back to Langley,” said Bergmann. “To great acclaim, he performed at our Pulse summer music festival in July, 2011.

“I look forward to chatting with him in the pre-concert talk about his musical insights on the works he will be perform-ing.”

“I strongly believe that min-imalism has the potential to bring new audiences into con-cert halls,” said Van Veen.

“It can restore in listeners a healthy sense of pulse and warmth, and an enjoyment for the richness of sound.”

In addition to the concert, Van Veen invites the public to a free interactive workshop on Tues-day Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. to explore this modern, yet romantic, min-imal music style.

To learn more about Jeroen Van Veen, visit his website at www.jeroenvanveen.com.

Different story, but same result.For the second time in three seasons,

the Saskatoon Hilltops have stopped the Langley Rams in their quest for a Cana-dian national junior football champion-ship.

Two years ago, it was the Hilltops using a second-half rally to win 23-21. But on Saturday afternoon at McLeod Athletic Park, Saskatoon dominated from start to fi nish to capture their fourth national championship in fi ve seasons and 17th overall.

The Hilltops led 8-7 after one quarter before adding 17 points in the second quarter to take a commanding lead.

The end result was a 39-14 Saskatoon victory.

“Langley is a physical and aggressive football team but our coaches did a good job of fi guring out what we needed to do and then we went out there and did it,” said Saskatoon head coach Tom Sargeant.

“We stumbled a little bit in the fi rst quarter, but we always kept striving to get better and do more.”

The Hilltops took advantage of their op-portunities.

On Langley’s second possession, Na-than Lund coughed up the ball on his own 14-yard line. Two plays later, Hilltops quarterback Jared Andreychuk ran the ball in for the game’s opening points.

After a punt single made the score 8-0, the Rams got on the board with a touch-down catch from Malcolm Williams. Wil-liams caught the ball from Jordan McCa-rty in the middle of the fi eld and broke a few tackles before getting into the end zone.

The Hilltops made the score 11-7 and then took advantage of a McCarty in-terception, bringing the ball back to the Langley 30 yard line. Logan Fischer ran the ball in from 12 yards out.

Later in the quarter, the Rams were stopped for the second time in the game on a third-and-short gamble and the Hill-tops made the score 25-7 at the half on a Evan Kopchynski touchdown catch.

The second half saw Evan Turking-ton catch a pair of touchdown passes to make it 39-7 before Williams had his second receiving major, this time from Dylan Tucker.

Tucker took over at quarterback in the third quarter after McCarty was knocked from the game.

In addition to the fumble and inter-ception, the Rams had four turnovers on downs: two on third-and-short gambles, a fake punt and then another third-down gamble when Langley had no choice but to go for it.

“Early penalties, turnovers and inexpe-rience for a lot of young guys in the game, and it showed,” said Rams coach Jeff Al-amolhoda.

“We went up to Okanagan (in the BCFC fi nal) with no pressure, just the fi ght in us. When we came out here, we were loose, but right before kick-off, I said to (one of our coaches) we had tightened up, and it showed.”

Another big difference in the game was the line of scrimmage, as the Rams had trouble getting their running game going as well as generate pressure on Andrey-chuk on the defensive side.

“We have had an ability all year to con-trol the line of scrimmage and today, we couldn’t do it, and that was a factor,” Al-amolhoda said.

“(But) we gained some valuable experi-ence for the next time we are out here, and we will be (back).”

Tucker fi nished 19-for-22 for 232 yards while McCarty was 10-for-17 for 154 yards.

For the Hilltops, Andreychuk was 17-for-27 for 343 yards while Turkington was named offensive player of the game with fi ve catches for 131 yards.

Williams led the Rams receivers with six catches for 134 yards.

Saskatoon’s Dylan Larson was named defensive player of the game as he had eight tackles and one assist, as well as three special teams tackles.

Brandon Klein led the Rams defence with four tackles and two quarterback sacks.

Langley’s Charles Scott and Luke An-drews each had four tackles.

•••At Friday night’s Jostens banquet of

champions, the Rams’ Ethan Schulz was named the national rookie of the year. Schulz had 23 tackles, 14 assist, four sacks, one forced fumble, four fumble re-coveries, one touchdown and one inter-ception during the regular season.

The Trinity Western Spartans bid for histo-ry was denied.

Seeking to become the fi rst Canadian women’s university soccer program to win three consecutive CIS national champion-ships — as well as the fi rst to win six Gladys Bean Memorial tro-phies — the Spartans lost 5-0 to the Laval Rouge et Or on Sunday afternoon in Quebec City.

The game was played at Laval’s Telus-Uni-versite Laval Stadium.

“It’s a tough result, you (have) to give credit to Laval, they were excellent,” said Spartans coach Gra-

ham Roxburgh.“We didn’t play very

well today and it’s probably the part that we are most disap-pointed with.

“We didn’t give them a game. They were clinical and we knew that if we didn’t de-fend well, they had weapons and those weapons showed to-day.”

Laval was up 2-0 at the half with goals from Joelle Goss-elin and Gabrielle Lapointe.

Gosselin added two more in the second half and Melissande Guy rounded out the scoring.

Both teams had sev-en shots on goal and opportunities to score

but Laval’s Marie-Jo-elle Vandal stopped everything she faced.

“Twenty years, it’s a long time, but the feel-ing is incredible,” said Laval coach Helder Duarte.

“To win in that fash-ion, against the best team in the country, it’s fantastic.

“The girls peaked at the right time, they were extraordinary. I knew we were capable of playing well, but I also knew there were a lot of emotions that could play against us. We did everything we thought we had to do to get them ready, and it worked.”

Laval became the fi rst-ever Quebec team to win the Glad-ys Bean Memorial tro-phy.

The Spartans had defeated the Ontario Institute of Technol-ogy Ridgebacks 4-1 in the quarter-fi nals and the Ottawa Gee-Gees 4-0 in the semifi nals.

In the fi rst game, Vanessa Kovacs had a pair of goals while in the second, Krista Gommeringer scored twice.

The Langley Knights snapped their longest winless streak of the season, downing the Port Moody Panthers 7-3 on Saturday night.

The Knights had gone four games without a victory (0-3-0-1) before winning at the Port Moody Arena. Langley had lost 5-4 in overtime the game before to the Richmond Sockeyes on Nov. 6 at the Minoru Arena.

Colin Catchpole led the junior B hock-ey team against Port Moody, with three goals and an assist while Jack-son Surbey had a goal and two helpers. Levi De Waal chipped in with three assists and Dono-van Shambeau scored twice and set up one other.

Against Richmond,

the Knights were up 4-1 after 40 minutes. Catch-pole, De Waal, Surbey and Dylan McCann each had a goal and an assist in the loss.

The Knights lead the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference with a re-cord of 10-6-1-1 and 22 points.

The team is back in action when they com-plete their home-and-home series with Port Moody at the George Preston Recreation Cen-tre on Thursday.

WATT, JOHN GORDON, MD FRCSC

Born at home near Vancouver’s Fraser Street on August 17, 1931, John died at home in Langley surrounded by his children and with his wife, Mary, curled up beside him.John loved fi re and pie, barn dances, road trips, effi cient meetings, ladyfi ngers in a wood stove, sleek cattle, black dogs, good books, and especially people. He came from humble beginnings and never forgot his roots.He grew up near 47th and Fraser in Vancouver, with rich ties to his mother’s ranching family in the Cariboo, originally in Empire Valley, west of the Fraser River, and later at 57 Mile House and in Clinton. He attended John Oliver High School and graduated from medical school at UBC in 1956. Taking his new bride, he began a rotating internship that summer at Lloyd Noland Hospital in Fairfi eld Alabama. After much consideration, he decided to become an orthopedic surgeon, completing his residency at UBC and his Royal College exam in 1962, and entering practice the following year, with his offi ce at Hycroft Medical until 1989. He taught medical students and orthopedic residents for almost thirty years and was a common caricature on skits night. He loved the community of VGH.John loved well, read widely, and had an incredible gift of recall. He was a good apologizer and an expert napper. He appreciated a good joke, good directions, and a morning at Green Lake. He had many interests, but his heart remained at “The Farm” and over the years he got much pleasure from it, especially that summer in the 1970s when his Jersey cow, Peter Lorre, gave enough milk to make 32 fl avours of ice cream. He was a member of the Osler Society of Vancouver, President of the BC Simmental Association, director of the Canadian Simmental Association, longtime member of the Williams Lake Bull Sale Committee, and a board member of the Otter Farmer’s Institute --the Coop -- for nine years, some of them as president.John is survived by his wife Kathryn Mary (MacKinnon) Watt and his children and grandchildren: Beth (Peter Vieira) Duncan and John; Heather; Hugh (Sandy) Jack, Finn, and Kate; Jane (Greg Antle) Tom, Georgie, and Will; Bruce (Tammy Jackman) and his daughter Mary McNamee and her mother Pauline in Ireland; Maggie (Alan MacInnes) Joe, Calum, and Coll. He thought of Bo Hedges as an honourary son.His family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses at VGH and LMH who had a role in his care over the years for their excellence, compassion, and ability to share a laugh as they went about their day. Honour John by paying a visit to a friend. A celebration of his life will be held at Langley Golf Centre, 21550 44 Ave, Langley on November 15th at noon. In lieu of fl owers, donations to UBC’s John G. Watt Memorial Fund would be appreciated. See http://memorial.supporting.ubc.ca/john-g-watt/
