BERKELEY — Police arrested seven people and seized large amounts of heroin, along with crack co- caine and Oxycodone pills, when they executed search warrants Wednesday at two separate apartments in the Berkeley Gardens Apartment Complex on Frederick Drive, Police Chief Karin T. DiMichele said. In one of the units, police discovered what they said was a heroin manufacturing facility. The investigation by the police department’s Detec- tive Bureau was the result of several complaints by residents about narcotics distribution in the neighbor- hood and in nearby areas along Route 9, the chief said. Arrested at the first apartment was Ivan Day, 56, of Frederick Drive, who was found to have more than 100 Heroin factory in Berkeley, cops say JEAN MIKLE @JEANMIKLE See DRUGS, Page 10A This weekend marks the 70th anniversary of the allied forces’ victory over Japan, but How- ell resident Charles Sona won’t be celebrating. The World War II veteran and longtime Howell resident will reflect on what was lost, not what was won. “The waste of all the men that died over there,” he said. “If I had my way, wars would be fought by the politicians that declare it. Not by sending our young guys to get slaughtered.” Now 90, Sona almost was one of those guys. He fought in the Pacific theater in 1943 and 1944 before getting “blown up” during the Battle of Hollandia in New Guinea. He was on patrol as a “Seabee,” a member of the Navy’s construction battalions. “I woke up in the mud; a guy was looking down at me and I couldn’t hear him,” Sona re- called. “Apparently I was blown up by some- thing ... I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t hear for a while. I still have terrible ringing in my ears.” 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF V-J DAY A STRUGGLE THAT DIDN’T END Howell’s Charles Sona wants to remind everyone what war is really about. And he’s not alone.
