Burnaby hopes to change that. Under proposed amendments to its zoning bylaw, medicinal marijuana production would be allowed in industrial zones where production facilities for pharmaceuticals and drugs are currently located. They would be prohibited from agricultural zones. All medical marijuana production facilities would have to be reviewed through the rezoning process, which would also trigger a public hearing.

A Burnaby producer of nutritional shakes is refusing to recall one of its products despite a warning by Health Canada that it is contaminated by a prescription drug. Vega One Vanilla Chai (437g and 874g formats) and Vega Sport Performance Chocolate, produced by Sequel Naturals Ltd., was found through the company’s testing to contain chloramphenicol, said a Health Canada press release. The drug is associated with a rare risk of aplastic anemia, a serious blood disorder that can be fatal. Side effects can include allergic reactions to people sensitive to the medication and effects on the bone marrow resulting in decreased blood cells. It should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Health Canada is aware of other companies that may have used raw materials contaminated with chloramphenicol in the production of natural health products for the Canadian market.

ACORN protests for cheaper Internet access Mario Bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
Don Johnson has a computer, but he can’t afford to connect it to the Internet. So when the New Westminster resident, who’s on a fixed income, wants to connect with his son in Mexico, he trudges to the library and waits up to 55 minutes to be able send and receive emails from a computer there. He also uses the library’s free Internet connection to search for jobs, and research causes he’s interested in. “I’m normally not a whiner, but I can’t afford Internet,” said Johnson, clutching a handwritten sign calling for lower Internet access rates as he stood outside the Burnaby headquarters of Telus. “I would love it if I could sit at my own computer in my apartment and get on the Internet.” Johnson was amongst about a dozen protestors from ACORN participating in the anti-poverty group’s nationwide
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER
Don Johnson says he can’t afford internet access, so he joined a protest staged by ACORN last Thursday at the Telus headquarters in Burnaby as part of a nationwide call for lower Internet access rates by telecommunications companies.
HORROR Action last Thursday (Halloween) to call for Canada’s telecommunications companies
to offer Internet access to lowincome families for $10 a month and for the CRTC’s new wireless
Code of Conduct to provide greater protection to those who can’t afford big Internet and
cellphone bills. Similar protests were held in Gatineau, Halifax, Toronto and Ottawa. The “digital divide excludes low-income individuals and families from what the United Nations now considers to be a human right, comparable with free speech,” said an ACORN press release. In fact, a survey of ACORN members found 55 per cent of respondents dissatisfied with their cellphone and Internet providers and 36 per cent of them said their monthly bill was $100 more than they expected. “This issue is not just Internet access, but digital literacy,” concluded ACORN. “This has become a public policy obligation.” Johnson said he’s just frustrated. “There are Third World countries where the poor have better access to the Internet than in Canada,” he said. newsroom@burnbynewsleader.com
Byrne Road grow-op does not have any city permits ⫸
continued from FRONT PAGE
“Currently there are no approved medical marijuana production facilities in Burnaby,” the report said. The zoning bylaw currently doesn’t say where such facilities should be located, explained Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of Burnaby’s community development committee. “It’s now a legal activity to grow medical marijuana so once you have a permit from the feds it’s legal.” Jordan stressed that under the proposal each new growoperation would have to come forward as a separate rezoning application which council would then have the ability to approve or refuse. “It wouldn’t be automatic. It would have to come forward
to council so we can take into consideration whatever impacts it would have in that area.” As for the medicinal marijuana grow-op currently operating in a unit at 4663 Byrne Rd., despite complaints by other members of the complex’s strata, Jordan said it likely wouldn’t be directly affected under the proposed changes. Anton Heggen, owner of Fraser Park Restaurant next door, has raised concerns about the health and safety issues created by his new neighbour, who began operating in the spring. Heggen stressed he’s not opposed to medical marijuana, “I’m against the location.” The grow-op’s owner, who purchased the unit, “went on the roof and punched a hole
Anton Heggen said he doesn’t object to medicinal marijuana growing operations, but is upset about the odour from his pot-growing neighbour.

“This business should be out in a field in a greenhouse, not in a solid brick building,” said Heggen. The complex’s strata council has attempted to force the owner
of the grow-op, Darren Pearson, to restore the roof to its original condition to no avail, he said. In a July 5 letter to the strata, Pearson’s lawyer, Jamie Bleay, said of the medical marijuana production, “This use has been approved by the City of Burnaby subject to certain requirements, including obtaining any necessary building permits.” Not so, said Burnaby planning director Lou Pelletier. “The current activity on Byrne Road has not been approved or permitted by the city. We continue to seek compliance with the city’s bylaws in this regard,” Pelletier said by email. Pelletier noted that the Byrne Road grow-op was licenced under the previous federal program set to expire in March.

TransLink eyes ways to fix Big Bend transit Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
TransLink has a potential solution to complaints over the lack of transit in South Burnaby’s Big Bend area. Now it just needs to find the money. Last January, Alpha Technologies—which has its manufacturing plant in the industrial area—and the Burnaby Board of Trade co-hosted a “transit solutions” forum to discuss concerns about the area’s transit. At the time, Alpha spokesperson Dave Boroevich said the lack of bus service east of Byrne Road to Marine Way made it difficult to hire staff. Many people drive to work there but with more facilities
being built, parking will only get scarcer and the demand for transit will increase, he said. The area east of Byrne is quickly being developed with new light industrial warehouses. TransLink did attend the forum, meeting with local stakeholders and looking at options to expand transit in the area, said Cindy Bromley, TransLink’s director of communications and stakeholder relations, by email. “It is recognized that there is demand for service in that area that would come at a cost, as well as areas in need throughout the region,” Bromley said. “TransLink did walk though different alternatives with the Big Bend stakeholders and identified that an extension
of the No. 116 would be the preferred expansion which also comes at the lowest cost, but would need to look [at] options to free up those resources.” Service in the area will be considered and community consultations will be done in 2014, she said. “We are looking at the No. 116 bus route to be considered as part of the process for potential service optimization reinvestment for 2014.” The issue will still be where the money will come from. TransLink’s service optimization program involves reducing or cutting transit service on routes with low demand and reallocating those resources to routes with higher demand.

Industrial real estate transactions down Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The number of transactions involving industrial real estate in Burnaby is down significantly but that’s not a sign the city is any less desirable of a destination, says Kyle Blyth, senior associate at Avison Young. “It’s a lack of supply, not demand,” Blyth said. Through the first three quarters of 2013, there have only been 24 transactions recorded, making it highly unlikely the number will exceed the total numbers for 2012 (64), 2011 (56) or 2010 (42), said an Avison Young report on the local industrial market. The lack of new supply and continuing tight vacancy rate of 4.3 per cent has meant the value of the transactions has stayed

comparable, the report said. “Industrial values are stable, it’s just a matter of not a lot of product available for investors and users to invest in,” Blyth said. There are new projects coming to market, he said, noting that in South Burnaby, the second phase of New Haven Business Park is now complete, Kask Corporate Centre is expected to be ready in the first or second quarter of 2014 and Spire Corporate Centre 2, a strata complex on Glenlyon Parkway, should be completed by the middle of next year. There hasn’t been any new industrial space constructed in North Burnaby “for a long time,” he added. A new project at 8335 Eastlake will help meet the demand when the first phase is completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Meters matter
LAST WEEK:
Victoria has finally unveiled proposed amendments to the province’s hopelessly antiquated Water Act. Existing legislation, more than a century old, was crafted to regulate surface water use to benefit farmers, miners and tiny clumps of early settlers. With today’s larger population and elevated industrial demands, it is unacceptable that B.C. remains the lone province with no legal protection of groundwater and aquifers. In presenting a 100-page document, Environment Minister Mary Polak admitted as much about one of the province’s mostvaluable resources. Groundwater can be used without government approval or fees, Polak added, hinting at perhaps the strongest motivation for cash-poor Victoria. The government expects to collect $5 million annually, mostly from industrial users. A Water Sustainability Act would harmonize groundwater and surface water regulation as well as raise protection of surface water. Conservation would be encouraged. Some jurisdictions use meters, while some do not. That will be true as long as we have so many local governments. They can’t agree on a unified position and some refuse to install water meters. Meters are the only way to accurately measure how much water is used by households and companies. Without them, those who use less water will subsidize large users. In communities with a flat rate, many of us subsidize large users and water wasters. Without meters, leaks are undetected. Even though we live in a rainforest, the system can deliver only so much water. Instead of promoting conservation, communities without meters encourage waste. —Comox Valley Record Black Press

Help the hospital, get a flu shot VICTORIA – I got my influenza shot this week, paid for out of pocket since I don’t qualify for any of the higherrisk groups provided with free immunization. A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled that it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient care areas. Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors and visitors will have to put patients first. Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members who insist they have a right to refuse immunization and increase exposure to patients. They have apparently run up the white flag. “We will be telling our members to comply with the new policy, or risk being fired,” said an overly dramatic Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association. HSA lawyers led the grievance, supported by the Hospital Employees’ Union and
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
the B.C. Nurses’ Union. Avery said the union will continue to urge its members to take advantage of on-site flu shot clinics. That’s right, like most provincial employees, they all get immunization that is not only free but administered at work. Kendall announced the regulation last year, after finding that 40 per cent of employees in long-term care were not getting the current influenza vaccine, and the rate of immunization was declining. Their objections make no sense. Aside from the self-serving “rights” argument, they complain that the annual flu vaccine isn’t effective enough. The formula is developed by international effort to track the dominant strains that emerge as winter rolls around the world. Kendall says a poor

match results in about 40 per cent immunity, and a good match reaches 90 per cent. At the risk of stating the obvious, he notes that even 40 per cent is better than nothing. After two weeks of expert testimony, arbitrator Robert Diebolt, a retired UBC law professor, wrote as follows: “It is indisputable that influenza can be a serious, even fatal, disease. Immunization also indisputably provides a measure of protection to health care workers and I have found that their immunization reduces influenza transmission to patients. “I have also concluded that there is a real and serious patient safety issue and the policy is a helpful program to reduce patient risk.” The B.C. Centre for Disease Control calculates that if all health care workers would get immunized, the risk to patients would be reduced nearly 50 per cent. The Ministry of Health warns: “you can spread influenza for 24 hours before you have any symptoms.”

What would cause educated health care workers to defy common sense? A hint is provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog. This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corporations that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick days, Tieleman asserts. Ah, so an infected health care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Last week BCNU president Debra McPherson was warning about “chaos” at the new Surrey Memorial emergency ward, her latest of a career of media protests. The big new facility is already overflowing, and more beds and more staff are needed, stat! Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility.

COMMENT
We need to protect our trees Re: City told not to be Big Brother (NewsLeader, Oct. 25) Walter Hallam needs to take a walk in my neighbourhood. In the last year alone, our block has lost two mature Douglas Fir trees that would have been at least 100 years old, a mature pine, several deciduous trees and many ornamentals. Not one of these trees were unhealthy or a nuisance; nor were they in the way of the planned homes being built. They were simply in the wrong city. The highest levels of carbon dioxide ever recorded in North America were documented in 2012 in Colorado. The scientists identified urban deforestation as a major cause and consider this a signifigant accelerant in climate change. Every mature tree in Burnaby absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits in 42,000 kilometers. The ambient temperature beneath a tree in summer can be as much as 8 C cooler. We are losing the urban habitat for birds and bees at an alarming rate. This is compounded by the fact that landscapers rarely replant with trees that bear fruit or berries making the few trees we have useless to urban wildlife. Burnaby has the most ineffectual tree bylaws in the Lower Mainland and developers know it. So Mr. Hallam, I will pony up the $30 to obtain a permit if one of my four mature trees needs to be removed in the future. It is a small price to pay to protect the hundreds of healthy trees that are being removed indiscriminately in Burnaby every month. Betty Girard, Burnaby •••••
Like Mr. Hallam, I too have lived in Burnaby for over 40 years. In that time, I have seen a major decrease in the residential trees in Burnaby. Residential developers usually bulldoze and clearcut all of the trees on the entire lot to be developed. But, it is not just developers that I have also witnessed in the last 40 years. Homeowners are also removing many of their trees. When I used to fly over South Burnaby, it was distinct because of all the trees. Now when I fly I see the trees in Central Park and
modes of transport that pose higher risks of spills and personal injuries such as rail and road transport.” The implication is clear. Those opposed to pipeline construction are responsible for creating this state of affairs. But the reality is otherwise. The truth of the matter is that the tar sands oil industry decided some time ago to increase bitumen production despite the lack of pipelines to handle the increase. In other words, it was the bitumen producers that created the current safety crisis, not those who oppose new pipeline construction. If oil transport safety really was a primary concern of the DisappointeD industry, wouldn’t they have by transit police slowed down rather than sped The Transit Police were up bitumen production? out in full force at 6 a.m. on I mean, after all, it’s not as if Friday, Nov. 1 at the top of the stuff is going to evaporate the escalator at the Lougheed overnight.

Perhaps Mr. Hallam shows some environmental responsibility in his caring and protecting of his own trees, but many residents are not showing environmental responsibility.

This proposed tree bylaw would bring our laws up to the level of other Lower Mainland cities. Remember, we are the visitors on this planet. Maybe we might live to 100.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has reached out to U.S. states and the domestic clean energy industry in an effort to keep its greenhouse gas reduction goals in sight. Energy Minister Bill Bennett hopes to have details out by the end of the year for a “modest” clean energy program he promised to private power developers at a conference in

Vancouver this week. With BC Hydro projecting an electricity surplus in the near future, there won’t be another clean power call any time soon for run-of-river, wind and other producers, Bennett said in an interview. A priority will be energy development for aboriginal communities, which have used small power production to get off diesel generators and to generate new income.

weeding out proposals that haven’t delivered on power purchase contracts, in order to cut down on the utility’s growing debt. The government also signed an agreement this week with western U.S. states called the Pacific Coast Collaborative, to extend efforts to put a regional price on carbon. California has launched its own cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions, and B.C. continues to administer a carbon tax on fossil fuels
imposed in 2006. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak signed the agreement in San Francisco with Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber and California Governor Jerry Brown. Kitzhaber said more than 500,000 people on the North American west coast now work in green economy jobs, and the region will lead the way in the future. “We are here to reject the myth that jobs and the environment are in conflict,” he said. Meanwhile, B.C. continues its central effort, to develop liquefied natural gas exports to Asia. The province has exempted greenhouse gas emissions used to process and export LNG, arguing that it will displace coal in China and other countries with a less emission-intensive fuel.

Police bust fake ID ring Grant Granger
ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com
A counterfeit operation run out of a Vancouver home that provided fake ID for youth across North America has been busted by Transit Police. Spokeswoman Anne Drennan said an officer who had stopped a minor for having liquor on the transit system in mid-March realized the identification that was produced by the youth was not legitimate. That started an investigation that revealed an online business that had been going on for about two years. At a press conference held at Transit Police headquarters in New Westminster on Friday, Drennan conservatively estimated the ring had produced 2,000 fake driver licences and identification for major educational institutions for all 10 provinces and 50 states in the U.S.
Grant GranGer/newsLeader
Transit Police Const. Justin Sutton demonstrates at a New Westminster press conference a card printer seized on a raid of a Vancouver residence where it is alleged a counterfeit identification operation was being run.
Police seized several laptops, card scanners, iPads, printing equipment and hundreds of IDs when they executed a search warrant Oct. 28. Drennan said initial indications are the operation had developed close to 1,000 templates for false identification. She added the full extent of the operation is still being determined by forensic technology experts.

because some adults had requested identification. Three 20-yearold men have been charged with forgery in connection with the ring. Alexander Jesse Lemmon and Elliot Mashford were arrested at the Vancouver residence while Sean Patrick Weatherill was picked up in Richmond with fake identification to be mailed to customers in Penticton. None were known to police.

The business appears to have flourished by word of mouth over the Internet. “If the quality of a product is good enough it spreads quite quickly, especially in the young age group,” said Drennan. She added it’s too early to determine whether customers will become part of the investigation. The possibility of identity theft has not been ruled out, said Drennan,

Electric car fast-charge stations pave ‘green highway’ New Surrey site among 13 to quickly power up battery Jeff Nagel Black Press
A new fast-charging station for electric cars unveiled in Surrey Monday is the first to become operational in the Lower Mainland and forms part of the northern leg of a green highway stretching south to California. The Surrey Museum station at Highway 10 east of 176 Street
in Cloverdale is one of 13 direct current fast-charge stations being built in southern B.C. to offer electric car users more places to quickly juice up the battery. There are already hundreds of publicly usable standard charge (Level 2) stations but the DC Fast Charge sites need only 20 to 30 minutes for an 80 per cent charge, rather than four to eight hours. Officials say supercharge sites are
key to combatting the “range anxiety” of being stranded with a dead battery that deters some people from buying all-electric cars. “Providing a strategically-located network of 13 fast chargers throughout the province will allow more travel options for current electric vehicle owners, and will help encourage even higher electric vehicle adoption rates,” Environment Minister Mary Polak said.
Fast charge stations have already opened in Kamloops, Nanaimo, Duncan Squamish and Merritt. Seven more – in Vancouver (Telus World of Science), Langley Township (Langley Events Centre on 200 Street), North Vancouver (Lower Lonsdale), North Vancouver District, Whistler, Saanich and Hope – are set to open by March under the $1.3-million program. Fast-charge stations are more plentiful in U.S. states along the coast, but some are proprietary – reserved only for Tesla cars, for example – while the BC Hydro-led chargers here accommodate a wide range of electric vehicles. More than 450 Level 2 chargers – the ones that take several hours but are considered ideal for commuters – have been installed across B.C. under the province’s $14.3 million Clean Energy Vehicle

Program. It also funds rebates of up to $5,000 for new vehicles that are run on battery electric, fuel cell electric, plug-in hybrid or compressed natural gas systems, as well as rebates of up to $500 for residential charging points. Both rebate programs are set to expire March 31. Like the site in Surrey, other fastcharge stations are being built in partnership with BC Hydro and local cities.
“Providing access to this technology is essential to moving consumers away from fossil fuel reliance in favour of sustainable clean energy alternatives,” Surrey Coun. Bruce Hayne said. It’s unclear if drivers may eventually have to pay to use the fast-charge stations, but Hayne said the Surrey station will be free of charge “for the forseeable future.” The Surrey Museum station will be the
first available charge point north of the U.S. border for electricpowered American motorists heading into Canada. There are only about 700 electric vehicles in B.C. but thousands more are expected to arrive in the years ahead, albeit at a slower pace than previously thought.

LEST WE F RGET Remembering Canada’s forgotten war It’s Canada’s forgotten war. But for the families of the 516 Canadians killed during the Korean War from 1950-53, the pain of their sacrifice and loss is just as great as the tens of thousands who never returned from the two World Wars earlier in the century. This year, the 26,000 Canadians who participated in the Korean War are being honoured by the Canadian government that declared 2013 The Year of the Korean War Veteran. When Japan surrendered to the Allies on Sept. 2, 1945 to officially close WWII, they also gave up their claim to the Korean peninsula, which they had occupied since 1910. The country was divided into North and South at the 38th parallel. The Soviet Union was given control of the North, while American troops occupied the South. Five years of diplomacy failed to reunite the country, so on June 25, 1950, troops from the North Korean Army tried to do it by force when they crossed the 38th parallel, heading for the capital in Seoul. They captured Seoul in less than a week and headed for the southern port city of Pusan. That’s when the United States decided to step in, and the United Nations Security Council called upon its members to repel the North Korean invaders back to the 38th parallel divide. Canada was one of those members. The first Canadian soldiers landed in Korea in December, 1950, joining a military effort that also included troops from the U.S., New Zealand, South Africa, the Philippines, Australia, Ethiopia and others.

POPPY FOR REMEMBRANCE
LEST WE FORGET
REMEMBER NOVEMBER 11TH WHY THE POPPY PROGRAM? There are four good reasons for the Poppy Program. 1. To remind us of the dreadful cost of war and to encourage us to settle further disputes by non-violent means. 2. To keep alive the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for peace. 3. To remind Canadians of our responsibilities to those who died, to the disabled, and to dependents of those who served. 4. To provide funds to assist ex-service people and their dependents in time of need.
THE POPPY FUND The General By-laws of The Royal Canadian Legion provide that poppy funds may be spent for the following reasons:
Mario Bartel/Newsleader file
Guy Black, an advocate for veterans of the Korean war, presents a special ceremonial stone to Choi Yeon-Ho, the Consul General of the Republic of Korea, at a special remembrance service marking the 60th anniversary of the ceasefire that ended the conflict.

a. Assisting ex-service personnel and their dependents in necessitous circumstances. b. Payment of the expenses of operating a Service Bureau. c. Payment of the expenses of the poppy fund campaign. d. Assisting other poppy funds where resources are depleted and contributing to the Central Poppy fund, administered by the Provincial Command. e. Purchase, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, renewal, repair, furnishing or refurnishing of housing accommodation or care facilities for elderly or disabled persons, and their dependents are to receive priority of such housing accommodation or care facilities. f. Purchase of community medical appliances or donations for medical research. g. Day care centres, meals on wheels, transportation and related services for veterans, their dependents and the aged.

In Flanders Fields was written during the First World War by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. It is said that he was inspired to write the poem May 3, 1915, after the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres.
In Flanders Fields
Remember those who fought for our great Canada.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. —Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

LEST WE F RGET A veteran’s memory: ‘We leave... our souls to God’ The Memory Project is a bilingual project creating a record of Canada’s participation in the Second World War and Korean War as seen through the eyes of thousands of veterans. It provides Second World War and Korean War veterans the opportunity to share their memories through oral interviews and digitized artefacts and memorabilia. These stories and artefacts are available at www. thememoryproject.com. Following is some memories from Jean Dorgan, who was born in New Westminster, reflecting on her time serving in the army during the Second World War: My name is Jean Dorgan. I was born in New Westminster November 15, 1910. When the war came in 1939 I enlisted, but they didn’t want public health nurses to leave their jobs.
So I didn’t get into the army right away, and there were very few hospitals being mobilized anyway, so I wasn’t called up until July 1942. And then in 1943, September, I went to England on the Queen Elizabeth. That was a very interesting experience because we’d traveled across Canada picking up hospitals from various towns and provinces, and there were, I believe, thirteen military hospitals on that ship. It took three days to load it, and so we were in our cabins all that time listening to feet tramping up the gangplank. I was assigned to No. 3 Mobile Surgical Unit, which was a two hundred-bed hospital station, which operated a casualty clearing station. And casualty-clearing stations were the point beyond which a wounded soldier could not go without being examined. The convoy left from

the River, and it was very interesting because we were there all alone in our little ship. And then suddenly right on cue, all these ships came over the horizon. I was just amazed at the coordination. We were in Avellino then, which is about sixty miles from Naples. Then we were rushed up - I think it was May - to the third attack on Cassino. This was a big experience in Cassino because we were thirteen kilometers from the monastery. We seemed to have been brought up there at the very last minute because it was a great big rush. Everybody was working, the officers as well. They were putting the beds together. When we were getting ready the troops came by. They were on their way to battle. And we went down to the edge of the property to cheer them on. One of the men got off the truck that he was on - he was very drunk - and he had a rose, which he came and gave me and I’ve never forgotten that. I don’t know where he got the rose. It was such a desolate place where we were. It’s been some years now since I’ve been back to Cassino and up to the monastery, and it’s perfectly restored. There’s a special section for the Poles. There was a sign there that said, “We leave our bodies to Italy, our hearts to Poland, and our souls to God.” I felt so... it touched me terribly.
Thank you
to those who have served our country.

Knights miss out on bye The St. Thomas More Knights not only saw Maleek Irons run by them, but they also saw a shot at a first-round bye in the B.C. AAA high school football playoffs evaporate in a fast fashion Friday. Irons scored three touchdowns while rushing for 374 yards on 37 carries as his W.J. Mouat Hawks from Abbotsford downed the Knights 38-18 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. The loss left the two teams tied for third (5-2) in the Eastern Conference, but Friday’s loss meant STM will face Victoria’s Belmont Bulldogs, who finished fifth in the Western Conference at 3-3, at Burnaby Lake on Friday, 3 p.m. Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens and Lord Tweedsmuir tied for first at 6-1 and received byes into the quarter-finals. Knights quarterback Malcom Lee managed
to rush for 145 yards and one touchdown while passing for 189 yards and two TDs. On defence, Noah Usherwood had 10 tackles and Kevin Marshall had eight. Darius Mackay notched five tackles and a quarterback sack. Five Knights were named to the Eastern all-star team including Lee as a running back. Also making it on offence was lineman Raf Posypanko. On defence, Underwood received a nod at linebacker with Marshall as a defensive lineman and Drew Belgrave a defensive back. • Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers will play for the AA varsity Tier 2 title against Howe Sound at Burnaby Lake on Friday starting at 6 p.m. The Panthers finished the five-team league regular season with a 4-0 record after downing Vancouver’s Eric Hamber Griffins 52-0 Friday.
