Why wear a Poppy?

It’s over a century since more than nine million soldiers were killed during the First World War. The last of the veterans from that era are dead and many young people know little about the causes and devastating aftermath of the conflict. Many refuse to wear a poppy because they think it glorifies war. Perhaps it’s more important than ever that we discuss the poppy’s place in history.

In 1921, Anna E Guerin started making artificial poppies in France and gained the support of Field Marshal Douglas Haig, founder of the Royal British Legion.

Much of the worst fighting in World War 1 took place in Flanders, the western part of Belgium. The area suffered terribly, with homes, farms, roads and trees all completely destroyed. The land became a bleak, muddy graveyard for the thousands of soldiers who fell there.

The first poppy appeal was held on Armistice Day 1921.

One plant, however, thrived in the disturbed soil and that was the poppy. Year after year, as the warm weather arrived, the poppies bloomed and turned the grim bare ground into a sea of red. At that time, fighting in Flanders was a young Lieutenant, Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian physician. In May 1915, his close friend and fellow soldier was killed in action. Seeing the poppies growing alongside his grave moved McCrae to write the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’, which was later published in Punch magazine.

In recent years some people have chosen to wear a white poppy, either instead of or alongside a traditional red one.

White poppies symbolise pacifism and also remember the civilians killed in conflicts past and present, as well as the soldiers. The idea is not a modern one as I originally assumed; it was initially put forward in 1926 by the No More War Movement, and the first white poppies were sold by the Cooperative Women’s Guild in 1933. They are now distributed by the Peace Pledge Union, a British pacifist non-governmental organisation that works for a world without war.

The idea to use the poppy as a symbol of remembrance for dead soldiers came from an American professor and YWCA worker, Moina Michael, in 1918. She wrote a poem in reply to McCrae’s called ‘We Shall Keep the Faith’ and started to sell silk poppies. The idea was adopted by the American Legion in 1920 and she became known as ‘The Poppy Lady’.

However you choose to wear your poppy this year I hope you now have a greater understanding of the interesting and complex story behind this iconic flower.

REMEMBRANCE DAY: SURREY SURREY REMEMBERS October 7, 2017 | By True Surrey You may have seen the Cloverdale Cenotaph while driving by 56th Avenue. The white granite monument with a man kneeling on top, his eyes somberly fixed on the ground beneath him, a rifle gripped in his hands.

SURREY WHALLEY REMEMBRANCE DAY Whalley Legion, 13525 106 Avenue 10:00am Parade assembly followed by a march to the Cenotaph, with refreshments and snacks available following the service.

May 22, 1921 is the birth date of the Cloverdale Cenotaph.

Surrey’s First World War memorial initially was built to honor those who fell in the great World War. Twenty-three names and places of where Surrey soldiers who lost their lives in battle are inscribed on the monument. On top of the Cenotaph was a German Field Gun, commonly known as a ‘Whizz Bang’ that had been brought back by the Canadian 47th Battalion. Ceremonies of remembrance were held on August 4th, but with the start of the Second World War, the Whizz Bang was removed and melted down for its metal, and Remembrance Day would coincide with armistice day, November 11th, 1918.

REMEMBRANCE DAY FAMILY EVENT Surrey Centre Cemetery, 16671 Old McLellan Road 10:45am This family friendly event takes place at the site of where 500 Veterans have been laid to rest. Vintage WWII and onward military vehicles, and military experts will be present to answer questions. Hot dogs and refreshments will be available.

In 2005, the memorial was modified to include memorials for the Second World War, Korea, and Peace Keeping missions. The statue called “Kneeling in Remembrance” was placed atop of the Cenotaph, depicting a soldier in 47th Battalion insignia, among other enhancements.

The Cenotaph, which has moved several times in its nearly century long existence, is now called Veterans Square and is the site of the annual Surrey Remembers ceremony, which is just one of the many ceremonies taking place in Surrey this November 11th: SURREY REMEMBERS Surrey Archives, 17671 56 Avenue 9:30 am – 1:30pm There’s lots to do and see at the Surrey Archives Following the ceremony: write thank you postcards for veterans and their families, watch WWII documentaries, or partake in peaceful crafts. Hot chocolate and coffee will be served to keep warm.

Proceedings include wreath laying by a Silver Star mother and a fly past, the master of ceremony will be George Temperton.

SURREY WHALLEY REMEMBRANCE DAY Remembrance Day Location: Whalley Legion, 13525 - 106 AVENUE, Surrey, B.C. Parade assembly at 1000 with a march to the Cenotaph commencing at 1025 Refreshments and snacks for the public and youth following the service.

The Branch Lounge will be open following the service for members and guests.

Remembrance / Poppy The essence of The Royal Canadian Legion is to serve Veterans and their dependents, to promote Remembrance and to act in the service of Canada and its communities.

Remembrance is the sacred sentiment which bonds all citizens, bringing everyone together to share in moments of reflection, sorrow, fellowship and gratitude, The Royal Canadian Legion within BC/Yukon Command embraces a leadership role for Remembrance, honoring this sacred responsibility serving all citizens.

At the Legion, we hold the sacred trust of ensuring the tradition of remembrance is observed by Canadians every year at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

This tradition dates to the First World War when the guns fell silent, marking the end of military conflict and the Remembrance of those who would never return home. The National Poppy and Remembrance Campaign raise funds for veterans and their families, the new military and others who are disadvantaged.

If the dough seems too crumbly don’t be tempted to add water or the resulting cookies will be hard, just let the heat from your hands gradually bring it all together. Place 2 inches / 5cm apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until set but NOT brown (8-10 minutes). Allow to cool for 3 minutes before removing from baking sheet, then roll in icing sugar. When completely cool, roll in the confectioners sugar again. They make lovely festive handmade gifts in pretty boxes.

Walk your way to weight loss Romi Singh Gill www.romigill.com

Everyone goes through time of splurging in unhealthy foods and lack of exercise. Unhealthy food feels like a reward and “laziness” or choosing to not exercise is the easier choice.

What happens next?

What’s the best Exercise?

Bigger stomach, thighs, a little flap on the back side of our arms and a tire around our waist. Not only that, we also start getting tired quickly and have less focus.

- the one gets done. The thought of gym and treadmill and intense cardio probably makes your head spin. Which is why I am going to suggest the simplest human movement as exercise -

What’s worse than bad health and weight gain?

Walking.

Judgemental, and sometimes shameful, comments from friends and relatives. “How dare they talk about my weight”, you think.

It happens to all of us. Not many people can stay in “fit” shape all year long. Don’t beat yourself up over it.

Instead, answer this question:

Try the following ways to add more walking to your day: 1. Go for a walk for 15-30 minutes 2. Park your car farther way in a parking lot at stores, work etc 3. Take the stairs at work, if possible 4. Go to the gym and walk on treadmill

What are you going to do about your weight?

Here’s 2 simple steps you can take to lose weight: 1. Cut out all sugary drinks and unhealthy foods, and add more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Eat a whole food diet.

2. Exercise. I will suggest a simple exercise you can perform to lose weight.

10

Spend two weeks doing simple walking for 15-30 minutes, 3-4 times a week. Next, try speed walking. One hour, 3-4 times a week is enough. Keep doing this regularly and you will lose some weight. And, if you’re looking to lose more weight, you need to incorporate a jogging intervals in your walk.

Men, Sex and Food: Why Hearing a Woman Can Lead To A Deeper Love: Cheeky title but it could save your relationship guys!!

Learning how to listen to a woman takes great understanding of what she truly needs from you.

When you get right down to the brass tacks, there is one top of the list common challenge in almost all relationships: Not being HEARD.. especially men not hearing women. Now before you get your knickers in a knot guys.. you first need to understand what LISTENING to her really entails.

It involves an entirely different level of listening, and as the book title cheekily suggests, there may be yummy benefits for you if you learn this great skill. Ask any woman the one things guys have the greatest difficulty with and it is likely they will say he never hears me.

But the guy will say, "but I do hear her!!!" And you would be right according to how you have been programmed to listen as a man.. not a winner guys!

Let it Snow!

Let it Snow!

Let it Snow!

A white Christmas is something many of us dream of, but how much do we know about snow?

Snow is made of a bizarre and complex substance which we take completely for granted – water!

Water is a liquid at room temperature, unlike other substances with similar-sized molecules, such as ammonia or methane – these are gases. Water requires more energy to boil it than other liquids and unlike most substances which shrink as they freeze, water expands as it turns to ice. As it turns out this is rather important. Ice is less dense than water so it floats. If it became more dense like most substances lakes would freeze from the bottom up and aquatic life would die. But because water freezes from the top down, the floating ice forms a layer on the surface which insulates the water beneath allowing it to stay liquid and all the swimming creatures to survive.

Few people know that for snow to fall at temperatures higher than -40C a special particle called an ice nucleus is required. Snow seeds as they are known include fine particles of soil, dust, and volcanic ash. These ‘seeds’ pass through the clouds of water vapour in the upper atmospheres and it is on their surface that ice crystals form

26

which become snow. Snowflakes are all different because of the way they attract new water to their ‘corners’. As the crystals fall through the atmosphere they pass through different layers of temperature and humidity, and get tossed around by the wind. The interplay between the snow seeds, random water droplets and their need to grow in a hexagonal fashion means that each snowflake grows rapidly in a unique way until they are large enough to fall as snowflakes.

The perfect snowflakes that we see on Christmas cards are actually quite idealised. Most snowflakes are imperfect, but they do have an underlying symmetry which has been noticed by humans for thousands of years. Most flakes are 1cm or less across but occasionally atmospheric conditions conspire to form giant snowflakes. In 1915 snowflakes 10cm across fell in Berlin, and in Montana in 1887 flakes 38cm (15 inches) across were recorded.

But if snow is made of ice (which is clear or possibly slightly blue), why is snow dazzling white? Well the reason is because of the complex structure of snowflake crystals.

Light rays bounce around from one crystal of ice to another, randomly until they find their way out. Because of the very short distances between the reflective surfaces the light rays are efficiently scattered and none are absorbed, and if no light is absorbed then a substance appears white.

If we do have a few flakes this Christmas then you can amaze your friends with how much you now know about snow!

All together now…’I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…’

Leaf matter. Leaves matter!

By Rachael Leverton Oh, those autumn leaves. So pretty on the trees but they can be rather inconvenient in the garden. If they drift too deep on the lawn the grass underneath will die so there’s nothing to do but rake them up. However, these fallen leaves are a little autumn gift from nature and with them you can create leaf mould. Leaf mould is free garden nourishment, and it’s it’s like feeding your soil with the finest fillet steak. Leaf mould is what’s left when the dead, fallen leaves from deciduous trees and shrubs are heaped up and allowed to rot down. As they slowly decompose, only the toughest bits remain, eventually forming crumbly, dark brown crumbs, a bit like chocolate sprinkles. Leaf mould is easy to make, a delight to handle, and you can’t possibly overfeed your soil with it. Micro-organisms are the driving factor, performing an alchemy that gives the finished product an almost magical quality. Its fibrous nature retains moisture and enables free drainage, which means it also makes a great mulch for trilliums or wood anemones, whose natural habitat is woodland.

I adhere to a policy of only collecting leaves where necessary. Where they have fallen and are not obscuring the grass I leave them for the earthworms to pull into their burrows (I wrote last month about how I think of earthworms as my friends and so do nothing to discourage them).

28

Simply sweeping leaves off paths and decking or patios will keep the garden looking cared for. I also remove any that have drifted around my herb garden because herbs like to be able to breathe. These tasks alone give me enough leaves to create plenty of lovely leaf mould.

If you have enough room, create a separate leaf heap rather than simply adding leaves to compost. It’s quite simple to construct a leaf cage using chicken wire and posts. You can even bag your leaves in punctured black bin bags and put them in an out-of-the-way corner. The puncturing is necessary to allow air to circulate. A leaf heap made this autumn will be ready by next autumn.

While you’re tidying up the leaves it can be tempting to cut down faded perennials. But if you leave them, in a month or so you will find they have turned into wonderful sculptural winter skeletons which look incredibly beautiful in the frosts. It’s all down to personal taste of course, but I often leave perennials standing until February or March simply to provide a bit of interest over the winter.

Happy gardening
