"Trucks weren’t used as much during the First World War," said Ross Toms, an avid history buff and executive at the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Richmond Hill. "The roads were not good.

Private Frederick Leo Jennings was born in Stouffville in 1892 and served with the 3rd Battalion Canadian Infantry. He was killed in action on April 9, 1917 during the attack on Farbus Wood, a side battle taking place at the same time to capture the woods and secure Arras about four kilometres south of Vimy Ridge. The five-foot-10-inch baggage man with blue eyes enlisted in December 1915 in Toronto - 18 months after his marriage to Lillian Fern Jennings. Private Edgar Albert Bowes was born in 1887 in Concord. He served with the 13th Battalion Canadian Infantry.
dian history. Enemy forces captured the ridge early in the war and previous allied assaults were unsuccessful. Canadian forces moved to the front lines in late 1916 and spent the winter
strengthening communication lines, mining an intricate network of tunnels laced with explosives, and training rigorously in model trench systems and in mock ridge formations. For the first time, the
Canadian Corps divisions fought side-by-side as one united front. Part of the heavily-defended ridge was captured by noon on April 9. Days later, German forces retreated and the Battle of
Vimy Ridge was over. About 100,000 Canadian soldiers fought at Vimy Ridge, resulting in more than 10,000 casualties and close to 3,600 dead, including these eight men from York.
The 28-year-old farmer enlisted in March 1916 and was killed in action at Vimy Ridge 13 months later on April 9, 1917. According to census records, his family moved from Concord to Richmond Hill between 1911 and 1921. The 29-year-old with grey eyes and black hair is buried at the Vimy Memorial in France. Private Frederick Alfred Lake, served with the Royal Canadian Regiment and transferred to the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. He was 37 years old when he was hit in the lung and killed by an enemy bullet while proceeding in
the attack at Vimy Ridge. The five-foot-nine-inch mechanical engineer with dark brown hair, brown eyes and a dark completion enlisted in Vancouver on July 8, 1916. He was born in Scott Township, which is now part of Uxbridge, and lived in Sutton West. Private Herbert Melville Beamish was born in Newmarket in 1894 and served with the 18th Battalion Canadian Infantry. The 21-year-old machinist with hazel eyes and brown hair enlisted in June 1915 in Niagara. The five-foot-eight-inch soldier was killed in action at Vimy Ridge April 12, 1917 - the last day of
the battle - at the age of 23 years old. He is commemorated at the Mount Pleasant cemetery in Toronto. Corporal Albert Edward Usherwood, born in Newmarket in 1896, served with the 2nd Regiment Canadian Mounted Rifles. He enlisted at the age of 19 in Alberta in February 1915. According to his military attestation papers, the 18-year-old horseman had a fair complexion with grey eyes and light brown hair. Usherwood was killed in action at Vimy Ridge, April 9, 1917. "Being with the battalion and
seeing a good deal of him, I am able to tell you that Bert was regarded as one of the bravest noncommissioned officers we had. He was a good, steady lad." wrote Chaplin Hon. Major Thomas Augustine Wilson to Usherwood’s mother, Mary. Private Earnest Barber was born in Kent, England in 1887 and died April 10, 1917. He served with the 2nd Regiment Canadian Mounted Rifles. The five-foot-five-inch tanner with blue eyes and brown hair enlisted in Toronto in 1915. He went missing after action and was reported dead April 10, 1917. Barber and his wife, Florence, lived in Newmarket.
Private Caldwell Eugene Brown, born in Aurora in 1892, served with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. The five-foot-five-inch journalist with the Newmarket Era had grey eyes and light brown hair, and had enlisted in Toronto in December 1915, a month shy of his 24th birthday. Brown, then 25, was reported wounded and missing during the battle of Vimy Ridge. He was later reported killed in action on April 9, 1917. He was in a dugout trench that was blown by enemy shell fire, killing him instantly. His parents, Byron and Elizabeth, lived on Niagara Street in Newmarket.

Young soldier fought on his own at Vimy Ridge KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com Before he left to fight for his country, 19-year-old Matthew Archer tried to reassure his anxious mother. "I am well aware of the dangers to be faced in England in the way of temptations of drink and women," he wrote her in a letter. He then added his promise: "I shall return to you as good a boy as when I went." In the end, not only did the young soldier fight to stay "good", he came to be, in one of the most important battles of the First World War, a Canadian hero. The eldest son of Thomas and Jennie May Archer, Matthew grew up on a farm in Bradford and was studying to be a teacher when he enlisted on May 8, 1916. Nearly one year later, he found himself at Vimy Ridge, fighting with the 4th Canadian Division. According to his Captain A. Aitken Grey, Matthew’s entire crew was wiped out, leaving Matthew as the sole survivor. Unwounded and on his own,
Matthew kept his machine gun going by scrounging for ammunition. For about 48 hours he held the enemy back and was able to break up at least one counterattack by the Germans. This activity was noticed by soldiers in the nearby trenches who sought out his name so that he could be recommended for decoration. In his next letter home, Matthew gushed about the news to his mother, saying, "your little boy has been recommended for a Distinguished Conduct Medal, also a French medal". "Don’t tell anyone until I know for sure", he asked his mom. "Perhaps someday I shall tell you what I did to be recommended but in the meantime, you may rest assured it was not a daredevil stunt. I simply did my duty as I saw it." Jennie May responded with a letter of her own, writing, "everybody says ’ain’t you proud of him?’. I was always proud of you. I never had room to be anything else". Matthew never received that letter.

Four months after his heroic Vimy action he was killed instantly when a shell landed in his trench at the Battle of Hill 70 in Lens, France. He likely never knew just how crucial was the battle he fought on Vimy Ridge. For the rest of her life, Jennie May kept her first-born son’s memory alive. She wore his Military Medal constantly and it was buried with her in the cemetery up on Coulson’s Hill. Today, his nephew Howard McKay, 93, carries the torch of remembrance. McKay is a Richmond Hill resident who also served in the armed forces, in the Second World War. He treasures the documents recording his uncle’s short, brave life - the yellowed newspaper clippings, copies of letters and photographs showing Matthew’s mother being presented with a medal in place of her son. "I just hope we can remember and be thankful that there were such guys in this country," he says. "Canada did present itself in a good stead."

They’re called all-candidates debates for a reason
TheLiberal.
During an election, it’s not always an easy task for voters to get a handle on who’s running and what they stand for. Busy schedules mean it can be challenging for candidates to connect with citizens at the doorstep, and pamphlets seldom offer more than a selection of partyapproved talking points. Given that, all-candidates events are an important part of the process as they allow voters to not only hear their would-be representatives discuss important issues but ask questions as well. Well, that’s how it’s supposed to work. More and more, all-candidates debates are looking like some-candidates debates. Take for example, what was intended to be an allcandidates debate for the Markham-Thornhill byelection that took place March 30. Rather than learning more about all seven individuals vying to replace longtime Liberal MP John McCallum, who was named ambassador to China earlier this year, those who attended the event heard from just four candidates. Despite organizer John Richardson sending out invitations to the candidates on March 21, neither Liberal candidate Mary Ng nor Conservative candidate Ragavan Paranchothy took part. Paranchothy chalked up his inability to attend to a scheduling conflict, while Ng’s campaign claimed it received the invite too late and that she had a series of roundtables and meetings with residents with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Libertarian Party candidate Brendan Thomas Reilly also didn’t make it. Residents who came to the event couldn’t help but feel slighted. "I feel personally quite insulted," said one attendee in the audience of about 20. "This is an all-candidates debate and I’m not going to get information from some of the candidates." While that’s hardly a big turnout, who knows if the numbers might have been higher if all the candidates had been present. Similarly, we can’t know for certain what, if any, effect the no-shows had on the ballots cast in Monday’s byelection, but it would have been nice to know that voters in the riding had at least a single chance to hear and potentially interact with all of those running before going to the polls. A healthy democracy involves the people, and allcandidates meetings and other such events are an important part of the process. When candidates opt not to participate or otherwise fail to make themselves available to those they wish to represent, it can only serve to breed cynicism and apathy among the electorate.

Story raises questions about police, justice system Re: Family spends thousands, 3 years battling police assault allegations, March 2. The story with the bloodied faces of an elderly father and son shocked many us because it came very close to another Sammy Yatim incident. It raises troubling questions about police training and use of force, and the (in)justice system. Officers arrive in force to a resident’s house regarding a tip from someone about erratic driving. The 67-year-old father tells them his son was tired from working late. Although police "ob-

The officer’s feeling this is "the scariest night of his life" (who can refute this?) ran after the son, and after the melee the father and son are handcuffed, tasered, left with broken ribs and orbital bone etc., and beaten red/ blue in the face. There is no search warrant, no drug/alcohol test done. What was the purpose of the police visit? Police video/audio cameras are off. Why? The victim’s phone,

which was recording all this, was found in the toilet. Subsequently one officer pleads guilty to assault and is put on probation, community service etc. while the others apparently did nothing wrong, heard nothing, saw nothing. But the hapless father and son are charged with assault. Who assaulted who? The family is nearly financially ruined, not to mention the hell they must have gone through in defending the assault charges for 3.5 years. This was an open-andshut case from the beginning, but dragged on only to have the charges
dropped after a 20-day trial. Justice delayed, justice denied. The delaying behaviour of lawyers and judges responsible is exactly the "cultural complacency" blasted by the Supreme Court last July when it set time limits for cases. This case negates 10,000 heroic acts the police/ Crown probably have done because a simple misunderstanding escalated to such a continuing tragic situation for a family that could easily be any one of us. Praise the family’s courage and wish them justice, and praise the Liberal for the coverage. Looking forward to future reports and lessons learned. Jim Katsios Thornhill

Nowruz festival draws big crowds KIM ZARZOUR kzarzour@yrmg.com More than 5,000 people braved the blistering cold in Richmond Hill to celebrate Nowruz and the coming of spring. The -19C temperatures did not deter those keen to join the annual cultural event that included, music, dance and the celebrated jumping over fire. Premier Kathleen Wynne wowed the crowd when she took to the dance floor with Mohammad Khordadian, an internationally-
known Persian traditional dancer from California. "The Premier enjoyed the event as much as your thousands of guests did," Richmond Hill MPP Reza Moridi said, referring to the "unique and ancient Iranian tradition" held March 14 at Richmond Green. Other guests included Newmarket-Aurora MPP Chris Ballard, Vaughan MPP Steven Del Duca, Richmond Hill councillors David West and Tom Muench, along with Conservative candidate Michael Parsa and Police
Chief Eric Jolliffe. The annual event was organized with help from 85 volunteers - 35 per cent from non-Iranian communities of Richmond Hill, said Mina Fadavi, president Association of Iranian Canadian Nowruz Festivals. "Not only did the Iranian Fire Festival in Richmond Hill bring the Iranian community of the GTA and the community at large together, it also placed Richmond Hill on the map and raised its status nationally and internationally."

GoodLife Fitness honours improperly sold memberships in Richmond Hill Almost 300 customers involved in phantom membership incident at Richmond Hill GoodLife JEREMY GRIMALDI jgrimaldi@yrmg.com A York Region GoodLife customer set off a firestorm of fellow client commentary regarding the company after suggesting he was defrauded. Francesco Campo wrote a post on his Facebook page on March 27 about the incident, drawing several
responses from people who claim to have had similar experiences. Campo, a former student of Vaughan’s St. Jean De Brebeuf Catholic High School, said he attended GoodLife Richmond Hill for two years thinking he had a legitimate membership. "I was paying $400 a year in lump sum," he wrote, noting the general manager he was dealing with suddenly left the company. "I called head office and they said they have no record of me paying them $400." The company then told him he would have to seek civil remedy for his concerns before hanging up on him, he said. However after the post was viewed by many people and the story covered in the media, the
company has decided to extend the memberships. "We’re very sorry for this experience," the company said in a Facebook post. "We are honouring all memberships affected by this situation and extending the expiry date of each membership to March 29, 2018." In all, the company said 275 members have been affected by the incident and the members were defrauded out of $125,000. The company added the incident came to light after it discovered "irregular banking activity" from one of its members. Anyone that might have been affected can email the company at memberaccounts@goodlifefitness.com for more information.

Mary Cicchirillo, co-president of Woodbridge Horticultural Society, provides tips: 1. Get rid of the debris of winter - When the ice has melted and the soil is no longer muddy, deadhead perennials by pinching off or cutting below the flower or shearing it back completely. 2. Don’t get carried away - A common mistake with rose bushes is to start pruning too early. If you do this and another snowstorm or frost hits, it can stunt bud growth. 3. Don’t use May 24 as your planting starter - When Cicchirillo’s husband worked at a big box store, he remembers how customers would buy plants and flowers over the long weekend and plant

Planting vegetables is a good way to get children to eat them. - You can plant cucumber seeds in soil as late as June. Lettuce and arugula
are great vegetables to plant in April because they like cool weather. Tomatoes, cauliflower and peppers like warm weather, so plant these in June. 5. Be careful of impatiens - They are unforgiving if you forget to water them.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge claimed the lives of many soldiers on both sides. The battle also cleared the land of oak trees. After the battle, Lieutenant Leslie H. Miller, a soldier with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, collected a handful of acorns from Vimy Ridge. The farmer from Milliken, a hamlet shared between Markham and Scarborough, planted the acorns and established the Vimy Oaks Farm, which is now home to a church. Farmhands at the Vimy Oaks Farm and Miller friends established the Vimy Oaks Legacy, with a mission of creating living memorials for the Canadians who fought in the First World War. Together with The Vimy Foundation, the legacy project plans to repatriate Vimy Oak saplings to Vimy Ridge to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the battle and to distribute commemorative Vimy Oaks saplings across Canada. Since 2015, with the help of nurseries, the Vimy Oaks Legacy has been growing seedlings from cuttings and acorns from Vimy Oaks Farms. A special Vimy Oak planting ceremony will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Richmond Hill branch, 233 Centre St., east, on April 8 at 1 p.m. Veterans, Legion members, elected officials, cadets and the public are invited to help plant the commemorative Vimy Oak.

an Expeditionary Force. The 127th Battalion consisted of young men from York County, namely the Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Aurora, Unionville and Georgina Island area, Toms said. The battalion left for England in 1916. "Normally, the battalion would have been broken up and soldiers put in the regular pool," said Toms, who is also a contributor to the Canadian Great War Project, an online database of Canadian soldiers who served and died in the First World War. "But this battalion was kept together because they knew their stuff," he said of the engineer soldiers who commandeered the battalion. Canadian troops arrived at Vimy Ridge late 1916 and spent the winter months preparing for battle. Along with training for the attack, troops undertook extensive mining operations, where tunnels were dug under enemy lines, lined with large explosives. Another elaborate tunnel system was used by Allied forces lined with train tracks, piped wa-

Ross Toms of RCL Branch 375 Richmond Hill shows a photograph of the 127th Battalion (York Rangers). The 127th was a railway battalion who built narrow gauge railway for Allied forces supplying troups in Vimy. Soldiers came from Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Aurora, Unionville, Mount Dennis and Georgina Island. ter, lights and underground bunkers to stockpile supplies, ammunition and food. By noon April 9, 1917 part of the heavily defended ridge was captured. By the end, more than 100,000 Canadian soldiers fought in the battle, resulting in more than 10,000 casualties and close to 3,600
were killed. "Look at the amount of shells used to destroy the barbed wire and ruin enemy trenches," Toms said. The Canadian forces used small mine cars on railroad tracks to supply ammunition to the troops as well as help carry the wounded soldiers out to safety, he added.
York Region, in consultation with residents, stakeholders and the general public, will prepare the Terms of Reference framework to guide the future Individual Environmental Assessment Study.
