A triangularshaped property on Hastings Street in North Burnaby will one day be home to a public art piece marking the gateway to the Heights commercial district. The Heights Merchants Association has put out a request for proposals (RFP) seeking local and regional artists for the project, to be built at the corner of Hastings and Delta Avenue. It’s a project that the association has been dreaming of doing for at least 10 years, said its executive director, Isabel Kolic. “We’ve always called it the ‘Gateway Project’ because we wanted a landmark to usher people into our community along Hastings Street.” Similar landmarks exist in the region, Kolic said, citing as examples the Chinatown gate and the Mount Pleasant clock on Main Street, both in Vancouver.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Regarding Untreated Hearing Loss.
Is Your Child Safe When Grandpa Can’t Hear?
Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check. Grandma and Grandpa, who better? Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren’t you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don’t hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn’t going downhill? The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don’t tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows
at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it. If your child’s babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don’t have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult’s hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn’t agree to if they understood what the child said. Before heading out for that weekend, consider this: General Child Care A 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the

audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn’t talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-yearold grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.” If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone on Hastings 604-569-1162 for a complimentary hearing evaluation.

The North Burnaby association’s “vision is to have an iconic piece of public art that becomes recognized over time and serves to welcome people into the neighbourhood,” she said. Epta Properties has granted an eight-by-24foot easement to allow the artwork to be installed on the site of its Montage development being built on the southern side of Hastings, between Gamma and Delta avenues. Kolic said the triangular-shaped parcel will be home to a four-storey, boat-shaped, mixed-use building and the artwork will be located at the northeastern end, adjacent to the “prow” or pointed end of the structure. The association’s members are “keeping our minds open” about what sort of art project they want, she said. It must be no taller than two storeys, or 17 feet (5.18 metres) high, according to the RFP. And it will be installed when the development is completed, expected in spring 2014. Over the past few years, the association has been putting aside money for the project, which will also receive funding from the Burnaby Art Gallery and through the association’s planned fundraising efforts. The total budget for the Heights Gateway Project is $110,000, of which $30,000 will be an honourarium for the artist and $80,000 will fund all other aspects of the project, including materials, site preparation, installation and signage. The call for proposals has generated quite a lot of interest from local professional artists, said Kolic, who suggested they are “intrigued” by the honourarium, which she called a “respectable” sum. “We wanted to attract a higher calibre piece of art and we wanted to get an artist who was prepared to do a big project like this.” The winning submission will be chosen by a committee comprised of representatives from the Heights Merchants Association, Burnaby Art Gallery, Heights Neighbourhood Association and the City of Burnaby planning department. Deadline for submissions is Dec. 7. Shortlisted candidates will be notified in January, with the winning submission to be chosen in March. For more information on the request for proposals, visit bit.ly/TGBNMv/.
Sands of healing Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. That’s especially true when it comes to the creation of a mandala, or sand painting. On Saturday, five monks from the Dzongkar Choede Monastery in South India completed work on an intricate and colourful sand painting at the Nikkei Cultural Centre as part of a tour to raise money to support their monastery. For four days the monks hunched over pillows to rasp fine coloured sand, ground from marble, through chak purs, a kind of metal flute, into an intricate pattern stenciled upon a green tablet. The process is a form of meditation. The mandala’s creation is a symbol of healing and compassion. And when they were finished, it was all swept away. “By destroying it, we learn to let go,” said Lopon Jampa Sopa, the ritual master of the monastery.

A 38-storey apartment tower with three-storey townhouses is being proposed for a site comprised of 6530 and 6550 Nelson Ave. in Burnaby’s Metrotown area. Both parcels are currently occupied with older low-rise apartment buildings in fair condition, one built in 1968, the other in 1970, according to a city staff report. The developer, Concord Pacific Developments Inc., also recently consolidated and rezoned the site directly to the south to allow a 35-storey high-rise condominium tower with townhouses fronting onto Nelson and Dunblane avenues. The site is designated for highdensity apartment development under the city’s Metrotown Town Centre
Development Plan. A total of 312 units are proposed, including 68 studios, 81 onebedroom-plus-dens, 127 two-bedrooms, 10 adaptable two-bedrooms, 17 three-bedrooms and one three-bedroomplus-family room in the tower. The eight townhouse units would range from 1,447 to 1,738 square feet. All the parking would be underground, and accessed from Dunblane Avenue/ Grimmer Street. The developer would provide 47 two-zone transit passes for residents, twice the required amount of secured bicycle parking and 30 plug-in stations for electric vehicles as well as two electric vehicles to be owned, operated and maintained by the building’s future strata corporation. The developer is applying for additional density under Burnaby’s supplemental amenity density bonus
program. If approved, the developer would be allowed to build an additional 88,459 square feet of floor area, already included in the proposal, with council agreeing to take the community amenity contribution, valued at $9.55 million, in cash to be put toward a future amenity in the Metrotown area. A very large portion of the site would need to be excavated for the project. “It is noted that the extent of excavation will impact the root zones of trees planted along the north and east property lines and thus have an impact on the neighbouring properties to the north and east, including Lobley Park,” the report said. The developer has agreed to replace any trees on city land and adjacent properties at 4930 and 4960 Bennett St. that are impacted by the excavation. The rezoning application will go

Burnaby council has authorized city staff to clean up the property at 4090 Nithsdale St. and charge the estimated $3,200 cost to the property owner. City Hall first received a complaint about the unsightly property in July 2011. Letters were sent to the property owner who, at one point, said most of the material had been removed and asked for a short extension to remove the rest, said a city staff report. However, an inspection shortly after the extension was granted showed no substantial change. Since then, city staff have been unsuccessful in their attempts to speak with the owner. On July 25, the owner was issued a bylaw violation notice and fined $500 which has remained unpaid. “The accumulation of unsightly materials on the property includes overgrown vegetation, a boat, numerous garbage bags, a stroller, a sink and numerous other discarded household items,” the report said. If the cost of the cleanup is not paid by Dec. 31, it will be added to the property owner’s tax bill.

Former Burnaby alderman and MLA Jim Lorimer has died at the age of 89. The Second World War veteran was made a Freeman of the city in 1990 after years of community service that started in 1966 when he won a seat on Burnaby city council. He served as alderman for two years before winning the provincial riding of BurnabyWillingdon on behalf of the New Democratic Party in 1969 and serving as a cabinet minister in the Dave Barrett government. Lorimer grew up in Sooke and worked on his family’s farm, the youngest of five siblings. He told the NewsLeader in a 2009 interview that his parents were lifelong Conservatives while he always leaned towards the NDP and its precursors, which often led to some lively discussions around the dinner table.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
A question of honour
LAST WEEK:
On Sunday many of us will gather around cenotaphs and in city squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. We’ll hear words like sacrifice and honour, some of them uttered by politicians. But for some veterans they’ll ring hollow. In 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New Veterans Charter that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sum settlement. But some injured veterans, like Burnaby’s Kevin Berry, say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour, are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only twothirds the compensation under the New Veterans Charter than they would have received from the old Pension Act. Recently Canada’s AuditorGeneral criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shoddy treatment of injured veterans, saying the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challenging to navigate.” Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of funding requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social services departments will pay towards the burial of the homeless. It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour.

A real smart meter manipulation VICTORIA – Two very different scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-needed training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to

attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business selling $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either. As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird

theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Theisen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radio frequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization,

the criminal element. Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

Ottawa must do more for soldiers Re: Tour of duty in Afghanistan left military vet haunted (NewsLeader, Nov. 2) As soldiers we’re taught not to whine and to “suck it up.” The “it” being anything that makes us uncomfortable. In this case I know of at least a dozen examples of guys getting screwed by the Canadian Forces financially, but who have decided to “suck it up.” We don’t have the same rights. When was the last time a civilian employer held a person’s pay for 11 months? Or a government one for that matter? Money Mart won’t cover you, and other civilian resources such as social assistance are unavailable because you’re technically being paid. A lot of veterans have bad credit or worse as a result of their service and that’s before they’re even out. It seems to stem mostly from accepted pay clerk error—aka “it’s being processed.” Then, when the soldier finally meets Veteran Affairs it becomes adversarial, similar to
dealing with ICBC. This can all be before an injury is even recognized. Veterans Affairs’ answer seems to be to throw enough cash at the moneystarved individual to make them go away (after a very exhausting process for the sick or injured). If they really do think the money is enough for the individual then maybe they should also offer a free mandatory budgeting seminar for all payouts—because either the money is enough or it isn’t. When you’re dealing with financial circumstances that would be hard on anyone, while trying to process difficult experiences alongside new injustices, it can be really difficult on many levels. I speak from personal experience. Along with a lot of other guys I have chosen to “suck it up” over and over again, but as I have been without pay for two months— again—(as my disability is still being assessed) I’m beginning to reconsider. I find it hard to believe that anyone in the same circumstances would see
these things differently. My hat goes off to Kevin Berry and the Equitas Society. A better system is needed. Shanon Sinn —online comment burnabynewsleader.com
Helping soldiers in need I have been running a club called Hope After War at Moscrop secondary since October 2011. I founded this club to raise awareness about injured Canadian service members who do not receive the attention and care they deserve. My initial plan was to raise awareness of stopping war, but I decided it would not be enough, as it did not touch on why war must be stopped. In the midst of all this, my grandfather, a long-time sufferer of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), died, prompting me to add the purpose of helping soldiers recover to the premise of my club. The images of witnessing his brother die during a Japanese raid in China haunted him
throughout his life, and his disorder exacerbated over the years. He often relied on alcohol to relieve the pain. I believe it was him who signaled me to help those who suffer mental trauma. After progressive planning and the help of ardent supporters of this cause, Jessica He, Natasha Sharma and Jacqueline Chen, we were able to build this club from scratch and make a small contribution to the community we share. The goal is to raise awareness about the devastating effects of war on soldiers. Exposing the brutal consequences of violence will highlight the concept of anti-war. Often, the soldiers who suffer from conditions like PTSD and traumatic brain injury are neglected and their conditions exacerbate. Hope After War helps by donating to the Canadian Wounded Warriors Organization. This organization was chosen not just for its reputation, but also for its help to the Canadian forces members and veterans on a case-by-case basis. They
support the more obscure mental injuries that are largely disregarded by the public and the government by working with Veterans Affair Canada and the Department of National Defence. Lorraine Shen Burnaby
FarnwortH sHould apologize NDP health critic Mike Farnworth should apologize for the allegations he made in the media last month, questioning the loyalties of the Burnaby Hospital Consultation Committee. My husband, Dr. Ross Horton, is a member of this committee. He is not a “paid Liberal operative” as Farnworth’s comments suggest. As well, he has no political agenda or political affiliations in regards to this committee. Unfortunately, Mr. Farnworth’s comments have been widely accepted. Ross agreed to participate on this committee as a surgeon who has limited operating room time at the hospital and this situation

significantly affects the care he is able to provide to the citizens of Burnaby. As a plastic surgeon, he is no longer able to provide care to the women of Burnaby who suffer from breast cancer and want breast reconstruction, as his operating room time has decreased recently, after 20 years, from eight hours to three hours a week due to cutbacks. Thus, there are no reconstructive surgery options now for the women of Burnaby and they must go outside of their city for this procedure. This has affected the general surgeons and referral doctors in Burnaby as well in their attempts to provide breast cancer care and options to their patients. As a caring person, my husband decided to volunteer his time to inform the public and the government of the need for more appropriate and better health care facilities in our community to meet the population demand. My family deserves an apology. Lynn Horton Burnaby

Teen tanning bed ban in effect A provincial ban on teenagers using tanning beds is now in effect to reduce their future risk of skin cancer. Tanning salons that fail to post signage about the ban or who illegally let minors use tanning equipment without a prescription can now be fined $345 for each offence. The ban was promised by the provincial government in March and followed requests from the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Use of tanning beds by youth is now only allowed under medical prescription to treat conditions like psoriasis. Indoor tanning before age 35 raises the risk of developing melanoma by 75 per cent, according to the World Health Organization. Nearly 1,000 B.C. residents are diagnosed with melanoma each year and about 150 die of it. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

An explosive device cleared from a Surrey SkyTrain track has the Transit Police embarking on a new program to make the transit system safer. On Friday at about 2 p.m., a passenger spotted an explosive device on the tracks of the SkyTrain, halfway between the Scott Road and Gateway stations. The device appeared to have three small propane tanks strapped to what looked like a fire extinguisher. Also attached to the device was a pipe bomb.

equipped with a detonator. “We’re not getting into specifics. I can tell you it was a dangerous explosive device,” she said. She did say the propane tanks appeared to be empty. As to whether the SkyTrain could have set it off by passing over it, Drennan said it’s likely several trains had passed over it before it was noticed. When it was reported, the RCMP Bomb Disposal Unit arrived and took the bomb off the guideway and carried it out to an open field where it was detonated. Over the weekend, there were two more suspected bombs reported on the SkyTrain route, both of which turned out to be false alarms. Drennan said SkyTrain police will now be embarking on an initiative borrowed from New York called Train Order

Officers get on the train, introduce themselves, ask if everything is okay and do a visual assessment and leave. “This does a couple of things all at the same time,” Drennan said. “It gives us the ability to interact and to assess, and it gives the passengers that high visible presence that reassures them we are there.” Drennan said the initiative is a direct result of the bomb scare on Friday. “Whether or not this (device) was ever in the car, reassuring that their transit system is as safe as it can possibly be is a huge part of what we have to do,” Drennan said. “Seeing us is a big part of that.”

VICTORIA – Merritt-area rancher Judith Guichon was sworn in Friday as B.C.’s 29th Lieutenant Governor. Guichon and her husband Bruno Mailloux were welcomed to the B.C. legislature with a blessing by Lottie Lindley, elder of the Upper Nicola Band of the Okanagan Nation. Guichon, 65, succeeds Steven Point, who completed his term Thursday. She is the second female Lieutenant Governor in B.C. history, following former MP Iona Campagnolo, who preceded Point. In her inaugural speech, Guichon said she will carry on the work of her predecessors, including support for literacy and reconciliation with aboriginal people in B.C. As owner of the historic Gerard Guichon Ranch on the shore of Nicola Lake and a former president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, she vowed to continue her work as a “steward of the land. “Many of the first ranchers, including the Guichon family, came to British Columbia 150 years ago, chasing their dreams of gold,” Guichon said. “As I tell the students who visit the ranch, they came for the gold, but they stayed for the grass.” Guichon and her late husband Lawrence Guichon are credited with introducing holistic management to the B.C. cattle industry, emphasizing preservation of natural grassland. She intends to make that approach a theme for her term. “As generations become further removed from an agrarian lifestyle, and as we lose community, I fear that civil society becomes less civil,” Guichon said. “It is at our peril that the great cities of the world forget that civilization relies on the health of the soil upon which it rests.” Guichon was also inducted into the Order of B.C., with the title of chancellor that is given to every Lieutenant Governor. Lieutenants Governor are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of prime ministers. They serve five-year terms as the Queen’s representative in each province, declaring new legislation and performing ceremonial duties around the province.
Cyber-bully fears run high: poll About 23 per cent of B.C. teens have been victims of cyber-bullying, according to a new survey of parents. The online poll of 504 B.C. adults by West-6S Marketing found widespread concern about cyber-bullying, with 89 per cent very or somewhat concerned. Eight per cent of adults surveyed also said they’ve been cyber-bullied and that rose to 12 per cent among heavy users of Facebook or Twitter. More mainstream use of social media means cyber-bullying is becoming more widespread and not just limited to online chat rooms, according to 6S Marketing president Chris Breikss. “Considering the speed of social media and its availability – through smart phones, tablets – harassment has become inescapable,” he said. “It turns into a round-the-clock nightmare. The internet’s immediacy gives bullies a perception of power and the sheer volume of these unmoderated interactions can have devastating consequences.” About 46 per cent of B.C. adults use Facebook daily – rising to 64 per cent of 18- to 34-year-olds – and levels are higher in households with teens. Sixteen per cent use Twitter daily (37 per cent in the 18-34 group.) Fifty-eight per cent of parents surveyed said they believed their teens were the victims of “traditional” bullying.

Remembering those who served
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 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
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.

Portraits of sacrifice and honour Mario Bartel

Don Reeves is so enamoured with the tweed newsboy cap his daughter brought back for him from London, it’s rarely left his head since he got it last spring. Much to the consternation of Gillian Wright. Wright is one of five members of the Heritage Life Drawing Society who took it upon themselves to sketch 11 veterans living at Burnaby’s George Derby Centre for an exhibition that runs at the New West Public Library through to the end of November. And the hat’s fine threads, in their herringbone pattern, proved no small challenge for Wright’s pencils. But upon seeing his portrait for the first time at a special reception at the George Derby Centre in late October, Reeves declares himself pleased. “That’s a real good portrait,” says the 90-year-old air force veteran. “Your face was a delight,” says Wright. “But that hat was a pain in the neck, with all those little stitches.” This is the second year artists from the Life Drawing
Society have made veterans subjects of their sketches. Over the course of two 20-minute sittings last July, the artists got to know a little about their subjects, all of whom are participating in art therapy programs at the Derby Centre themselves. For the artists, it was an opportunity to honour and immortalize the contribution made by the veterans, says Irene Lacharite, the president of the Life Drawing Society. “These are people who went through a lot for Canada.” For the veterans, it’s a bit of recognition. “It’s very validating,” says Yoying Orosa, the director of therapeutic programs at the Derby Centre. “They’ve had a lot of experiences that they may not be able to articulate because they didn’t have the benefit of therapy or counseling when they got out of the military.” Many of the veterans took a keen interest in the process of creating their portraits, sidling up to the artists as they worked on their preliminary sketches, offering tidbits of information that were then incorporated into the final drawing, such as Reeves’ service in India being marked by a map in the
background. “They’re really aware of us drawing,” says Wright. “They have a real sense of pride that someone wanted to draw them.” The process of sitting for a formal portrait session is also much more intimate and intense than a photo session, says Lacharite. A lot of photos never leave the computer any more,” says Lacharite. “Drawing is a lot longer lasting.” It’s also more open to artistic license. “You’re given the opportunity to choose the face you like,” says Wright. “I probably took off 20 years on all of them. Which, judging by the smile on Reeve’s face, suits him just fine. • The sketches of veterans will be displayed in the stairwell to the New Westminster Public Library’s second floor through to Nov. 30. The exhibit will be complemented by a presentation on the second floor of art work done by veterans at the George Derby Centre.

Memory Project collecting oral histories of veterans Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
While some funding for The Memory Project will be ending in March, the work will continue to preserve oral histories of aging veterans for future generations. In the past year, the project has added more than 350 interviews with Korean War veterans to its online archive and a similar number for Second World War veterans. While funding from the federal Department of Canadian Heritage will end for the interviews about Second World War experiences, the Historica-Dominion Institute will continue the work, said Alex Herd, project manager for the Memory Project. Herd noted that while Second World War veterans are often willing to be interviewed, sometimes with the encouragement of their families, it can be more challenging to get Korean War veterans to participate. That’s largely due to the fact that for decades, they were not even considered war veterans. That war, which took place between 1950 and 1953, was officially deemed a “police action” by then-U.S. President Harry Truman for political and diplomatic reasons, Herd explained. While the veterans experienced war-like conditions, it was not considered a war and afterwards, they didn’t receive the same benefits as their counterparts from the Second World War. It wasn’t until after years of lobbying that Korean War veterans were publicly recognized by the federal government as war veterans in the early 1990s. That’s all contributed to a reticence among many such veterans to share their stories, Herd said.
The project “is part of our effort to give them the respect they’ve been due, to encourage them to come forward and share their stories, to show them they’re valued members of society and their stories are valued parts of our history,” he said, “and also to educate all Canadians of all generations and backgrounds on what has been a war that’s been neglected in our historical instruction at every level in the country.” He noted that people in Korea continue to be very grateful for Canadians’ efforts in keeping that country free. The project has also digitized more than 1,600 artifacts for its archives. They borrow artifacts from veterans they interview and photograph or scan them for inclusion in the online archive before returning them. Such artifacts include photos, medals, pieces of shrapnel and communist propaganda. One intriguing piece was a Chinese coin picked up on the battlefield by a Korean War veteran who was eventually wounded and bled on the coin. For some reason, he never cleaned the blood off. Others came from a Second World War veteran who was in prisonerof-war camps in Italy and Germany. To pass the time he drew comics to entertain himself and his fellow prisoners, which are now reproduced and in the archives, as is a piece of his ration bread that he received in the camp, which he kept in a bag as a memento all these years. The Memory Project is still seeking veterans of the Second World War or Korean War to participate. For more information visit www.thememoryproject.com or call 1-866-701-1867.

BRANCH 83
Once again Remembrance Day will soon be upon us. A time for Canadians of all ages to remember the more than one hundred thousand fellow citizens who fought, bled and died protecting our freedoms along with the countless others who have served our country. But Remembrance Day should not only be reserved to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It should also be a practical remembrance of the living – the disabled veterans, RCMP members, widows, widowers, orphans and family members of those who served who are in need of a helping hand. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion are, as one of their core responsibilities, the Guardians of Remembrance. The Poppy Campaign organized by the Legion, in conjunction with Remembrance Day, helps alleviate suffering and addresses the needs of veterans and their
families who may not have the financial wherewithal for basic necessities. The Legion assists with purchasing medical equipment, awarding bursaries for needy students, providing support services such as meals-onwheels and drop-in centres and helping with some basic residential repairs to name but a few. So much of the Legion’s work in our communities goes unnoticed. Every day this organization of more than 330,000 people makes significant contributions, not only to enhance the lives of veterans, but also for seniors, cadets, scouts, guides, as well as serving members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP and their families. The Legion remains fiercely proud to be Canada’s largest Veterans services organization. Our advocacy work on behalf of all who have served in the Canadian Forces and RCMP
ensures that they receive lifelong support and recognition for their service to this country. Thanks to their desire to give back, the Legion was created and continues to this day to support our communities in countless ways. The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign provides everyone with the opportunity for practical remembrance and it is hoped that this year, with the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya as with our aging Second World War and Korean Veterans, more Canadians will wear the Poppy than ever before. There’s more to the Legion than you might think. We Care! Find out today how you can get involved by visiting your local Legion branch…because you care; because you can. Lest We Forget, Gordon Moore Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

WHY THE POPPY PROGRAM?
Branch of Service: R.A.F. Unit: 207 Squadron Years of Service: 1943-1946 Served Conflicts: WWII Medals Awarded: 1939-45 Star Defense Rear
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: 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.

LesLie C. HempsaLL Branch of Service: Royal Canadian air Force Unit: 435 Transport squadron Hempsall and his crew of pilot, second pilot, navigator and wireless operator were posted for transport duty in Burma, then occupied by the Japanese army. They became members of one of two Canadian transport squadrons formed to supply Allied troops driving the Japanese troops out of Burma. Their first operation was to deliver 665 gallons of gasoline by parachute drop to a dropping zone just behind the Allied line of battle. For the next 10 months, squadron crews flew up to six sorties per day as the troops forced the Japanese to retreat from their occupied positions. 435 Squadron was disbanded and the crews returned to Canada. Hempsall, now with the rank of Flight Lieutenant, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and was mentioned in Despatches. He is currently retired and living in White Rock, British Columbia.

Knights secure second conference crown The St. Thomas More Knights won their second consecutive B.C. AAA high school football Eastern Conference championship by downing the West Vancouver Highlanders 40-27 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West on Friday. The No.-2 ranked Knights went 5-1 during the regular season and 7-2 overall, which translates into a first-round bye in the playoffs. They will play the winner of next week’s opening-round encounter between Kelowna and Vancouver’s Notre Dame Jugglers, who have several Burnaby players on their roster. The Knights were in full control of last week’s game jumping out to a 33-7 lead at halftime. Quarterback Chase Malcolm passed for 183
yards and three touchdowns including ones to Gio Trasolini and Malcolm Lee. Running back Jalen Jana picked up two TDs while rushing for 167 yards. On defence, Dante Vigini was a demon making seven tackles, recovering a fumble and sacking the quarterback twice. Nico Repole had a huge game too with six tackles and three sacks. • STM’s junior varsity squad ended the regular season at 5-1 after blitzing West Vancouver 41-0 at Burnaby Lake on Thursday. That put the Knights second behind Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens in the Eastern Conference, but both teams will receive first-round byes. sports@burnabynewsleader.com
