German ambush still fresh Just ahead of Remembrance Day, a retired flight lieutenant recounts battles he fought and friends he lost in war. by Mitch Thompson editorial@mrtimes.com

our hundred rounds. That was all Flight Lieutenant Fred Moritz had to save his inexperienced crew members from the German fighter ambushing them. The attack had come suddenly, after a successful bombing raid on the German city of Aachen. Someone had snuck up underneath their aging bomber and strafed the underside with a hail of bullets. In danger and with their rear gunner injured, Moritz strained to find their attacker. Breaking past his plane’s port quarter, a Junkers 88 swung out and around, closing for a kill. Moritz yelled for the pilot to bank left as he brought his machine guns to bear on the German

fighter. At 400 metres, he poured round after round into the cockpit, killing the pilot and navigator. The Junkers dropped and crashed into the sea below. Moritz had survived his 10th flight. Only 40 more to go. Seated in his Maple Ridge kitchen, Fred Moritz held a scale model of the Hampden bomber he saved 70 years ago. The model banked left and right as his weathered hands traced the dance of the two planes. “We didn’t know what was shooting at us. Once he exposed himself, I had no fear, no nothing.” He set the model down on the table in front of him. “Afterwards, I was sent to the hospital with the other fella. [At] the medical centre I was holding a cup of tea and all of a sudden I started shaking,” he said. Aged 94, Moritz is one of an estimated 91,400 Second World War veterans living in Canada. For his actions during the Aachen raid, he was awarded a Distinguished Flying Medal and

decorated by King George VI personally at Buckingham Palace in August of 1942. A wireless radio operator with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 6 Group, Moritz flew 50 missions over Germany and continental Europe. Most of his operations occurred in the Ruhr Valley, which he described as “the hottest place in Germany for flak.” Moritz joined the RCAF in 1940 at 21, soon after the start of the war, “Canada was sort of monarchist, and we wanted to fight for king and country. Plus making some money, things at that time were pretty bad. And [we were] seeking adventure, of course.” With his three friends sitting on their school’s steps, they decided that the air force was the better choice. Memories of the First World War and horrific trench warfare were still fresh, and they decided that mud wasn’t for them. Little

did they know that the cost for bomber crews would be so high. “We were flying the worst aircraft at the time,” he said. The Handley Page Hampden, a twinengine bomber built in 1938, was

cramped and difficult to fly, and outmatched by German fighters. “I’m just damn glad I survived. That was the whole thing. Chances of survival at that time were one in five,” he said. And the Aachen raid would not be Moritz’s only brush with death, he explained, recounting another. “Anyone want to bail out?” the pilot asked his crew as their plane limped closer to their airfield. Moritz, now operating radio on one of his squadron’s new Wellington bombers, looked to the stocky man fighting to keep their plane in the air. The crew had been part of an operation to bomb the German port of Kiel, but bad weather and heavy flak had made a dangerous mission worse.

ing indemnity rates, and adjust accordingly so that these anomalies do not occur in the future. Mayor Deb Walters was proud of the generosity of council. “As leaders of our City we realize that we can’t ask others to do with less, unless we are willing to do so as well,” she said. “Therefore, the members of our council have individually committed to make a donation to the charity of their choice throughout the next year. Some members would like to spread out their donations to a number of community groups, while others would like to earmark their portions to a specific group or activity such as the centennial celebrations.” Walters also noted that her colleagues “recognize the need

to work together to keep our community strong and vibrant, and giving back is a culture engrained around the council table, throughout the corporation and within the community as a whole.” Council directed staff to add the indemnity bylaw review into their 2014 work plan. The City’s budget deliberations continue on Dec. 12 and 16. The meetings are open to the public and there will be opportunities for input. Council was presented with two options, a budget that would increase property taxes by about three per cent, and one that would raise taxes by zero per cent, something that some community members have asked for.

Funds are being collected to help support veterans locally, nationally, and globally. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Pub patrons in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows might be surprised to hear the sound of bagpipes playing at their local drinking hole this Saturday evening. The Maple Ridge branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is organizing its first ever Poppy Campaign Pub Run. Diane Cougar, co-chair of the local legion’s poppy fund, is organizing the event this Saturday evening leading up to Monday’s Remembrance Day. Cougar will be joined by Kyle Banta playing the bagpipes and Andrew Nicholson, a Scottish snare drummer, collectively known as A & K Crazy Canucks. Legion member Jamie Fancy will also be along to help. “This is the first pub run ever planned for Legion 88 and I am hoping it will be a success,” Cougar said. Banta will pipe for about 10 minutes while the other three legion members will go around to the pub patrons with trays of poppies, asking for donations to the campaign.

Maria Rantanen/TIMES

Poppy campaign co-chair Diane Cougar will be at Haney Public House and other pubs this Saturday collecting money for veterans. Haney pub manager Nina Kniha wore her poppy proudly, helping Cougar coordinate the event. Every year the legion runs the poppy campaign, and last year they raised about $62,000. All the funds raised go to help veterans, first locally, then within Canada, and globally as well. In addition to the pub run,

veterans and cadets are out in the community right up to Remembrance Day collecting donations to the campaign. Cougar and her poppy team visit the Jolly Coachman, Samz Pub, Fox’s Reach Pub & Grill,

and the Haney Public House. The pub run will take place Saturday, Nov. 9 between 7:30 and 9 p.m. and after hitting the four community pubs, organizers will end their evening at the legion, 12101 224th St.

Food bank hamper need rises Local and national statistics show an increase in people going hungry. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

The national hunger count shows an increase over the past five years of people using the food bank, and that is reflected in local statistics as well. Chuck Griffith, operations supervisor at the Friends In Need Food Bank, which feeds about 3,600 people in Maple Ridge

and Pitt Meadows, said the trend is continuously going up. For example, in 2010, Friends In Need distributed about 500 food hampers per month whereas now that number averages from 700 to 800. But, he added, the community is “overwhelming” in its support of the food bank, noting that the recent Thanksgiving food drive brought in 10,000 pounds of food, and Yennadon Elementary collected 2,000 pounds recently. “Fortunately... the community is hitting home runs for us,” he said.

Emergency responders

Masked bandit discovered trapped in swimming pool Firefighters were called out to rescue a screamer from an Albion backyard. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@mrtimes.com

Screams could be heard from a backyard in Albion on the morning of Oct. 31. Neighbours knew immediately it wasn’t a Halloween prank, but were still not sure who or what was making the loud noises. A call to 9-1-1 brought a team of emergency responders to the 11700 block of 232nd B Street just after 10 a.m., where

they discovered a masked bandit trapped inside an outdoor swimming pool. It turned out a curious baby raccoon found it way in – but couldn’t get out – of an empty, above-ground pool, explained Maple Ridge’s assistant fire chief Timo Juurakko. Not wanting to traumatize the wild animal further, members of the Maple Ridge fire department simply snuck up and put the pool ladder back into the pool. That gave the raccoon a safe means of escape, which he quickly took advantage of. He was last seen bounding off into the nearby bushes.

Firefighters rescued a baby raccoon from an above-ground pool.

Our View

Honour’s worth beyond words Remembrance Day comes once a year… but the veterans we honour on that day are with us all year round – and are just as deserving of honour every other day of the year. We recently saw the passing of the last of the veterans of the First World War, and we are now witnessing a dramatic thinning of the ranks of Second World War veterans. Like those of us lucky enough to have lived through a relatively fortunate and peaceful time, soldiers who have survived wartime (or peace-keeping) service must also eventually grow old and come to the end of their earthly term. It seems we somehow find a way to replenish our stock of veterans by the time the previous generation recedes into history. Meanwhile, the Remembrance Day honours that this country bestows on those who risk their lives in service of country dwindle and fade by the time Nov. 12 rolls around, and remain out-ofmind until the next Nov. 11 is just a few days away. Indeed, the Remembrance Day “season” is now so short that it has become almost entirely occluded by the Christmas season. That’s especially ironic when we consider the limited goodwill and appreciation that we bestow on those who earned it at such a dear price – the willingness to sacrifice their very lives for the greater good of all. Our chintzy government – after making the decision to send them into harm’s way – has replaced barely adequate pensions with even less adequate pay-outs. Report after report outlines poor housing and other amenities that seniors and veterans are forced to endure. These people – our veterans who have risked all for us and our affluent way of life – deserve more than a few honourable words one day a year. Lest we forget. – B.G.

Opinion

Lives bought memories and future They met over rum and Coke when he was on leave in England. She was a physiotherapist in the medical corps, treating the wounded. He had been stationed in Italy, helping to fight Hitler’s buddy, the fascist Mussolini. He had a blind date with a friend of hers, but fell for the physio with the big smile. It was September 1943 and they became inseparable until he was sent back to Italy in October. (From the Toronto Telegram, Feb. 1, 1944: Cheers Ring Along Line as Canuck Tanks Smash Nazi Observation Tower. He was quoted as saying, “Our lads were doing fine.” His picture was in the paper). He was a captain and had enrolled in 1939. She was a lieutenant. He named his Jeep after her. She was posted to a hospital in Surrey (a county in England) while he was in Italy. From Surrey, she went to France and Belgium for brief periods before returning to England in 1944. He showed up in December, and they were married in Surrey and honeymooned at the Royal Anchor in Liphook. They stayed there a week. Their bill was 28 pounds, 16 shillings, and that included their wine, ale, and stout, and “early teas.” He returned to Canada two weeks later. She was discharged September 1945. Two years later, they had a son in Hamilton, Ont., and then moved to her hometown where he went to work for her father, a local industrialist.

They had another son in 1950, all part of the post-war boom, building homes and families and a future like thousands of others who were fortunate enough to have survived the war – the remainder of whom we honour every Nov. 11. The two boys would go with their mother up to the by Tim Tyler local cenotaph and stand t3atyler@shaw.ca in the cool crisp November air, waiting for their father to arrive with the legion colour party. They could hear his booming voice from blocks away, and as they came closer, the sound of shoe leather hitting the pavement. The elder son continued going to services on Remembrance Day wherever he was. He liked the ceremony, the solemnity, Reveille, the Last Post, the old soldiers marching by, the bagpipes, especially in the absence of his parents, both having died at 60 years of age. It helped keep their memory alive, honoured their courage and love for one another. They not only saved the world for democracy, they gave him life, one of the early baby boomers. And so it is we gather in Memorial Peace Park on Monday with the other boomers and their children and the few surviving members of the Second World and Korean Wars. Most of us have not had to endure a war, have known nothing but peace and prosperity since 1945, and while we may take it all for granted, it is the least we can do to take a moment of silence to thank them for what they did, those young people willing to put their lives on the line for a future many of them wouldn’t know, the very least, Lest We Forget. Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will be raising a rum and Coke to your memory.

Pitt Meadows budget

No relief likely for taxpayers Dear Editor,

It’s pretty obvious from the tone of the recent public meeting concerning taxes that taxpayers will not be receiving any relief. First priority is to pay raises for everyone, including Mayor Deb Walters. Next is to just keep spending – taxpay-

ers will cover whatever we spend. Last is any concern for the residents of Pitt Meadows, who are expected to pay more, year after year after year! Mayor Walters and her crew apparently won’t be happy until they spend our money to the last dollar.

Decline admirable I just read Gordy’s tongue-in-cheek comments [Japanese need to rethink sex, Oct. 29 Just Saying, TIMES] on the declining population in Japan with amusement. As a grandparent, I, too, enjoy having grandkids around, but I have a slightly different take on the issue. Maybe we should admire the Japanese. According to some estimates, the world population is already past its optimum level, and there are certainly too many folk in some countries for the available food. The problem, of course, is related to the unequal distribution of wealth and available resources. If it were not for immigration, I believe our population would also be declining. All are easy problems to discuss, but very hard to resolve. Just saying…

Song created with purpose

Our national anthem should never be changed

ith the evenings cooling and nights arriving all too quickly, I know that November is here, bringing Remembrance Day and the singing of O Canada. Recent discussion of the appropriateness of some of the words in our national anthem may cause confusion as to what to sing on November the 11th. by Alan Woodland Some attending the ceremony will not know the words and some will consider that, because Canada is not mention sons. He wrote “us.” their native land, the song does not Weir was a teacher and comfortapply to them. able with the English language. Some will pause as others sing The repetition of “We stand on “all thy sons command,” and people guard for thee” was not because he who are uncomfortable with the idea of telling God to “keep our land couldn’t think of anything else to glorious and free” will remain silent. write. He was emphasizing that, if The moment when we might Canada was to be and remain expect to feel close to each other, glorious and free, it was up to the sharing a common bond, is lost.

Here and There

But, it is a pity those changes were not made with greater sensitivity and skill. I would like to say to readers who were not born in Canada that the word “native” includes them. While the first definition is, of course, a person born in a particular place, we become like a native by being naturalized and granted citizenship in that place. We may not be aboriginal or indigenous, but we can think of ourselves and our children as native. Those who wish the words had not been changed to “all our sons” may correctly return to the “us” of the original. So, though I have known the words to O Canada since coming to this country, and have relearned them each time they were changed, when I stand beside you at the cenotaph on Nov. 11, I will sing:

O Canada

O Canada our home and native land True patriot love in all of us command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise The true north strong and free. From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee We’ll keep our land glorious and free O Canada, we stand on guard for thee O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. I think these words bring us together and honour the men and women who fought and died that we might be here to sing them on the 11th. You may want to join me.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

Remembrance Day We who were not there may think generally of war, make mention of campaigns, tours of duty, numbers of soldiers fighting in places far away But the men and women who were there, who served and fought in Europe and the Far and Middle East did so one at a time, and each of them has a name. Those who came back we welcome, recognize, and thank. For those who did not – we keep their names close in the heart of town, and once each year we gather there to wait and watch and listen and release them one by one into the sparkling air of a cold November day. As the last leaves fall, their names fly up up and away.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Circle craft market

Artisans sell wares by Tracey Rayson editorial@mrtimes.com

A fistful of Maple Ridge artists and artisans are taking part in one of the region’s largest Christmas markets this weekend in Vancouver. Heading up that list is Maple Ridge resident Betty von Hardenberg and her husband Klaus. This is their sixth year as exhibitors of the Circle Craft Christmas Market selling beeswax candles. “Our candles began with a simple desire to create pure beeswax candles for our own pleasure and well-being,” said Betty. “Now, we’ve committed ourselves to sharing them with others.” The candles are made with the purest cotton wick and highest grade (100 per cent) beeswax, which has been a part of the von Hardenberg family history for centuries – dating back to 1139, when their clan used beeswax candles for both heat and light. Also on the market roster is Maple Ridge woodworker Claudia Hayward, who will also be exhibiting her wooden kitchenware and other items for entertaining and everyday use from her company, The Wooden Forge. “I make functional items like cheese boards, trivets, cutting boards and small kitchen implements, such as spatulas from a Junichi Tanaka variety of wood, predominately black walnut, which comes from the eastern U.S.,” said Hayward. “I use local wood from the Fraser Valley, mainly big leaf maple for the woodturning items like my salad bowls.” Maple Ridge potter Junichi Tanaka, who hails from Japan, established his ceramics studio in Whonnock in 1998. In addition to showing his stonework at the market, he has been widely exhibited and sold around Canada and the U.S. The market features 300 artisans from across Canada at Vancouver Convention Centre West between Nov. 7 and 11.

Songs bring smiles

A Haney performer mixed comedy and music to lift the spirits of veterans at a legion show Sunday. by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@mrtimes.com

www.mrtimes.com

Tears ran down Linda Jones’ cheek as she cuddled up close and sang You’ll Never Know to Neil McLean, a longtime friend and fellow platoon mate of her late father. It was one of many emotional moments during the pre-Remembrance Day show she performed at the Maple Ridge legion Sunday afternoon. “I still get all choked up when I sing View that song, or talk about my Dad… that more was our song,” said Jones, a relatively new Haney resident who has been put- photos with ting on shows for local veterans every November for the past eight years. “I used to sing it to him, and now or online I’m able to sing it to his friend Neil,” Jones said, explaining that she lost her father, Trevor Nash, in 2007. Her dad was a massive influence for her – not just in general terms, but specifically for her as a performer. Like her grandfather, Jones’ father served in the army. Her dad served as a member of the Saskatoon Light Infantry during the Second World War, and he spoke often of how soldiers would get through tough periods in battle and in the trenches by remembering good times back home – including memories of listening and dancing to tunes of the era. He shared with her how hearing those songs, even after the war, brought a smile to his face. That’s why she still performs about 20 shows a year – almost all of them singing the older songs for veterans. “It’s just a wonderful place to be… I’m always just honoured to be part of it,” Jones said of the sold-out show at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 88. “It means the world to me to be able to do this for the veterans,” said the woman who has earned herself a few legion service medals and a special national commendation from the Minister of Veteran Affairs for her ongoing work entertaining and lifting the spirits of the veterans.

Rick Moyer/Special to The TIMES

Many a legion patron was smiling Sunday, when Maple Ridge resident and entertainer Linda Jones sang a Remembrance Day tribute concert. She performs every November, just ahead of Remembrance Day, at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 88, her interactive show a hit with the guests.

Shirley Thu has spent the past few years creating special Remembrance Day windows at the Economy Cottage thrift store, but the addition of personal photographs and keepsakes from hospital auxiliary members’ families helped make this year’s exhibit extra special, including a photograph of her own mother and a poppy painting by her sister.

Remembrance Day tribute

The Economy Cottage thrift store has a window display that honours past and current soldiers. by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@mrtimes.com

Sandwiched between the DeLizie Italiane Bakery and Roots on Dewdney Trunik Road in downtown Maple Ridge is Shirley Thu’s tribute to her parents and all veterans who served in the name of democracy for this great country. Thu is a long-time Maple Ridge resident and a volunteer for the Ridge Meadows Hospital Auxiliary Economy Cottage thrift store. And for the past four years, she’s made it her task to pay tribute to all the men and women who have fought for this country by creating a special Remembrance Day window display in the front of this popular little store. “I think it’s important that people understand the sacrifices these great people have made for us, and all that they gave up,” Thu said, explaining the motivation behind the subject matter for the window display. Through the years she’s been adding new and different pieces to her Remembrance Day window collection, which the rest of the year is stashed away in her “rumpus room” – with the rest of her seasonal display decorations. Thu has a few uniforms, a helmet, a first aid kit, a wreath, army dolls, recycled black-and-white war photographs, a poppy plate, some books and DVDs on the subject of war, and even a poppy painting from her sister Bonnie Swanson. But this year, she and store manager Karen Moritz wanted to make the win-

dow even more compelling, and based on public response since the display was set up on Halloween morning, they’ve succeeded. A few weeks ahead, they put out the call to other auxiliary members asking them to lend photographs of family members who have served. Moritz said they wanted to add a much more personal element to what she describes as a bit of an artistic exhibit. Unfortunately, not many auxiliary members chose to participate this year. But with the aid of Thu’s sister Sandi Read – their family historian – Thu was able to dig out her mother’s legion sweater and a picture of her mother. Likewise, Moritz contributed a picture of her husband, Fred (see story on page A1), as well as a wedding picture of her parents, who both served. “The pictures help make it. It gives it a more personal touch,” Thu said. “And that makes it the most important window of the year, without question.” Thu has been creating window displays for the thrift store for the past five years, always with the assistance of Moritz, who sets up the cloth background and then serves as gopher to the creator. While Thu does all types of window displays throughout the year that are aimed at selling products in the store, this one takes her the most time to create and has nothing to do with selling. “It’s simple. It’s about honouring the veterans,” she said, noting her father was a private in the army stationed overseas in France during the Second World War, while her mother was a corporal in the army, driving an ambulance in Halifax at the same time. “It’s about doing something in their memory, about honouring them and showing respect to all those who served.”

Students remember veterans with poetry Maple Ridge Christian School holds a Remembrance Day assembly, while kids honour vets with their poems.

honouring them,” Roda told The TIMES. “It’s not about winning the contest, they wanted to let the veterans know they have not forgotten.” The students gathered inspiration from various resources, documents about war and battle, handouts and newspapers made available from the veterans, as well as talking with each other and sharing stories about grandparents who served in the forces. The girls are as keen as the boys, and some have expressed interest in wanting to join the army cadets, the teacher explained. “This has been very beneficial in teaching and motivating the children to realize that cadets also offer a life of service; to show gratitude is a big subject for us this year,” revealed Roda.

This Remembrance Day, Bonnie Roda’s Grade 6 and 7 students from Maple Ridge Christian School are paying tribute to veterans in a special and personal way. The kids have written poetry to honour the service and sacrifice of the men and women from past and current day military, and have entered their poems in the third annual Honouring Our Veterans poetry contest held locally. “The kids wanted to write the poems for the veterans, and felt very strongly about

Remembrance Day

Services become more about educating, engaging youth Thousands will gather at two cenotaphs to pay tribute to veterans. by Tracey Rayson editorial@mrtimes.com

E TIMES files

Efforts are being made to engage more members of the younger generations, those who have never had to know wars first hand, in the annual Remembrance Day services in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

very year thousands of people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows pay tribute on Remembrance Day to the fallen heroes of war and those actively serving in the military today. This year Remembrance Day services and parades commence at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 11 in both communities. Army veteran Jim MacDonald, a flag bearer with the Royal Canadian Legion’s Branch 88 colour party, said he’s happy to see continued involvement of youth in the various corps, as well as in community support. “The change in the parade year-afteryear is in the crowds of kids and young families. It’s great to see them in such wonderful numbers,” MacDonald said.

Ridge tribute

ust before 10:30 a.m. the parade participants gather on Brown Avenue in front of the legion. “Part of the parade will be the army, navy, and cadet corps (which the legion sponsors), all wearing their respective uniforms,” MacDonald explained of the Maple Ridge services. The parade marches down Veteran’s Way (224th Street) to the cenotaph in Memorial Peace Park. “The unique feature this year is the addition of 32 cadets from the RCMP youth academy who will be participating with the regular RCMP detachment,” MacDonald said. At 11 a.m. the bugler sounds Reveille and then the lament, followed by two minutes of silence to honour those who gave their lives in the service of their country. The bugler ends with Arouse. The laying of wreaths occurs at

approximately 11:10 a.m., concluding the services. “Last year approximately 7,000 people were in attendance, and a similar number – if not more – are expected this year,” MacDonald added. The services wrap up with the parade following the ring road around Memorial Peace Park and returns to the legion. Then, the colour party returns to The ACT to open the Dal Richards concert that follows at about 2 p.m. and includes the presentation of cheques to a number of various charities.

City hosts services

“What makes Pitt Meadows unique is that we’ve placed more emphasis on cadets,” said MacDonald. “Again, it’s important to us to see our youth so engaged.” Participants march to the cenotaph in Spirit Square, beside City hall at 12007 Harris Rd., to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in wartime. Identical to the Maple Ridge services, at 11 a.m. the bugler sounds Reveille and the services commence, again concluding with the laying of wreaths at approximately 11:10 a.m. A smaller gathering than Maple Ridge, the Pitt Meadows service is expected to attract upwards of 3,000 people. The parade circles back and is then dismissed, with the City of Pitt Meadows and parks & leisure services traditionally providing coffee and snacks for those in attendance. Those participating in the parade (excluding minors) are invited to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 88 on 224th Street and Brown Avenue after, to enjoy a pipe band, Highland dancers, and other live music.

or Whonnock resident Tom Brent, it is important to keep alive the memories of past wars for younger generations. So he will be setting up a display of Second World War memorabilia at Whonnock Lake Centre this Remembrance Day. Every year, members of the Whonnock Community Association come to the centre to lay wreaths at the cairns at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 to remember Whonnockians who served in the military, and this year they will be joined by Brent and his display. For three years, Brent was part of the Remember Project, a week-long exhibit of war memorabilia, including uniforms, medals, and weapons, in Abbotsford.

There will be music from the era, radios, a cookbook, as well as items that people can touch and learn about. He is also bringing along a mystery device he owns, that he said the Germans would have paid a million dollars for during Second World War. “You use it every day, but it was top secret [during the war],” Brent hinted. Whonnock Lake Centre is located at 27871 113rd Ave.

This was put together to educate school children about the war, but it grew in popularity so that the general public came as well. However, after three successful years, organizers decided to start a museum, which is currently housed on a former military base in Chilliwack. But, this year, his memorabilia will be available for Whonnockians to learn from.

The ACT

Swing king back on Nov. 11 Dal Richards, still one of Vancouver’s busiest musicians, is in Maple Ridge Monday. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@mrtimes.com

ing of Swing Dal Richards will be grooving at The ACT Monday, using his big band music to help pay tribute to local veterans. For the ninth year running, the Vancouver legend, along with the Dal Richards Orchestra, will be performing a Remembrance Day show Monday afternoon in Maple Ridge. This seasonal show has become a tradition, and the audience is typically packed with people who remember and appreciate his sultry style of music. The 95-year-old Vancouver musician started performing professionally in 1937, when as a sax player, he took a part-time summer gig playing with an orchestra performing at

the Blue Moon Room In White Rock. He hasn’t stopped performing since. And it’s fair to say Richards has made quite the name for himself since those humble beginnings.

Wrestling

All-star smackdown expected in Haney Maple Ridge’s own Disco Fury will draw local fans to an upcoming bout. by Tracey Rayson

editorial@mrtimes.com

All Star Wrestling (ASW) fans will want to arrive early to secure ring-side seats, or as close to the action as possible, to cheer on local wrestling hero, Disco Fury, during The Last Survivor Series matchup happening in Maple Ridge next week. The special attraction at the series pits Fury against Michael Madness, the 6 ft. 8 in. Alaskan Giant, one of the toughest and biggest opponents the hometown hero has ever faced. The Giant’s hulking portions are plainly visible, coming in eight inches taller and 100 pounds heavier than the local boy. “This will be Fury’s toughest opponent ever,” said Mark Vellios, ASW co-owner and former wrestler (Michelle Starr). “Fury has never faced a man this large, and it will definitely be a huge test to his ability,” he

explained. Fury has lived most of his life in Maple Ridge and was a graduate of Westview Secondary. He will be looking to make up the size difference with crowd support, Vellios said. This will be a matchup of speed and technique, versus size and strength. The ASW title match on Nov. 15 pairs current champion Kenny Lush against Kyle Sebastian. Vellios believes the upcoming match promises one of the most intense and hard-hitting title defences to date for Lush.

When these two opponents met Oct. 26 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, there was no definitive winner – leaving the door open for a new champion to be crowned in Maple Ridge. “After the Cloverdale match, both men were fairly even until the third fall,” said Vellios. “It appeared that when it got too hot in the kitchen (a.k.a. the ring), and rather than suffer a defeat, Kyle fled the ring and subsequently was counted out. I think Lush has the momentum,” the promoter said.

The main event will feature an eight-man junior heavyweight survivor-series-style match. This will be a four-versus-four elimination, with the winner (or the last survivor) getting a title shot at the ASW cruiserweight champion Matt XStatic. Wrestlers battling it out include: Collin C4 Cutler, Alex Prestige, Adam Ryder and Jason Cage, Great Kasaki, Mantasia, Nick Price, and Kenny Doll. The opening contest brings together Azeem The Dream versus Lonewolf McCoy, two former partners who once held the ASW tagteam championships. “Last month in Cloverdale, McCoy cost Azeem the win in a match with Jason Cage,” said Vellios. “This opening contest should have some spark in it.” Kids are welcome to the event, and encouraged to get free autographs from wrestlers before and after the event. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with action starting at 8, at the Ridge Meadows Seniors Activity Centre, 12150 224th St., in Maple Ridge. Advance tickets are $15, while tickets at the door are $18.

Fishing

Whitefish a good winter alternative to trout

fter four months of weekly columns detailing each of our fresh water Cascadian game fish, we draw this series to a close with mountain whitefish. Though often underrated, prosopium williamoni – the mountain whitefish – is one of the most abundant and widespread of our original resident sport species. Catching these fish is not hard, keeping a few things in mind. Stream bottoms and very cold water – 35 to 42 degrees Fahrenheit – is their preferred domain, which makes them a great winter fish. As bottom dwellers, invertebrates and nymphs are often their favoured food sources. These habits make them an easy target for fans of the different styles of Euro-Nymphing. Whitefish also have an affinity for mayflies and will rise to a dry fly during a strong hatch of these insects. Whitefish, I can agree that they are not rainbows, but during the

coldest months of winter, when all other fish are as sluggish as 50W motor oil, whitefish are as active as a trout in spring.

The report

As for this week’s Fraser Valley sports fishing report, here goes: • Our Lower Mainland lake fishing is fair to good. As you are likely aware, it is getting much colder out on the lakes, which means it is time to make the transition to winter tactics. For better success try to spotlight your fishing on late morning through mid afternoon. Remember to watch the barometer, looking for upward movement, and stay away from the colder water of inlet streams. Try a slow troll or retrieve with: Nations Black, Zulu, Wooly Bugger, Wooly Worm, Pumpkin Head, Micro Leach, Doc Spratley, Halfback, Dragon Nymph, Sixpack, Backswimmer, or Baggy Shrimp. • Our Lower Mainland bass and panfish waters are slowing down.
