MURRAYVILLE - Abolish the senate, say several Langley township councilors. ~-3fe "They (Canadian. senators) are the drones of society, says Coun. Trudi Campen. "It is outrageous," says Coun. Muriel Arnason. And Coun. Aubrey Searle has no nice words for the venerable institution either. He would also prefer to see the upper house blown away. But while council members Steve Ferguson and John Scholtens feel much the same way about the usefulness or lack of same on the part of the Canadian senators, they do not agree that the house should be abolished - but rather reformed. -.' Ferguson is still looking for a 3-E senate and Scholtens dreams of one that "represents the regions equally." "Abolish and reform," says Mayor John Beales. They voted four-to-three against a resolution proposed by the city fathers in Vernon Monday night. That city has gone on record requesting that the federal government abolish the appointed senate. Rapist charged LANGLEY - RCMP have a 33 year old resident in custody on charges of sexual assault, after two attacks in the city were reported Monday. In the first case, a 38 year old woman walking in a rear field near Douglas Park Elementary School at 3:30 p.m. was accosted by the suspect, and assaulted repeatedly for an hour and a half. She was threatened by a weapon, but police said she was not injured beyond the sexual Aldergrove Youth Ambassador Jenise Ball fingerprints six-year-old Danielle Scorda of Vancouver as part of the London Drugs family identification program at the 1993 Pacific National Exhibition.

The Initiative and Referendum Bylaw is one of a package of three the mayor introduced Monday evening, and was the only one to receive council's approval. The other two include a referendum that would ask city voters in November whether they approve of no wage increases in 1994 for the city's politicians and staff, and a Taxation Control Bylaw that would limit their municipal tax increases. The bylaw covering initiatives and referenda will be a first in B.C. Voters in the province voted overwhelmingly in favor of it in the last provincial election and referendum, but despite the NDP government's promise to bring the legislation forward it still sits in limbo while a government committee examines the issue. Premier Mike Harcourt has promised that such legislation will be in effect by the next provincial election, but meanwhile they're still thinking about it. Lopushinsky has proposed that a referendum question would require 25 percent of eligible municipal voters' support to get it on the ballot in November of any year. Issues that could be referendum questions include government spending priorities or recall of an elected official. While the B.C. Municipal Act would not give any legal enforcement to such a vote, Lopushinsky said city council would not be likely to ignore the majority's democratic vote in a referendum. Lopushinsky told The Star that the hylaw will come up for fourth and final reading on Sept. 13, and he intends to also bring back the other two bylaws for reconsideration. "I gave councilors three weeks notice of my intent and copies of the proposed bylaws a week ago," said the mayor. He said" the bylaw calling for no wage increases was debated but "died" when the Please see page 2... assault. Then at 6:40 a.m., the suspect entered a second storey apartment in the 5300-block of 204 Street and accosted a 19 year old woman. The assault was interrupted by a female roommate and the accused fled the residence. Police said the suspect was not previously known to either of the victims. Police are investigating whether the suspect is connected with other offences in the Lower Mainland. The unidentified suspect was to appear in court on the charges on Sept. 1. The Star has been unable to confirm news reports that a sexual assault took place in the alley, behind The Stair and Seven Heaven store, in the late hours.of August 25. Seven Heaven store owner Mohammed Shamin said he heard that an attack took place but several blocks away from the reported location. A 37 year old Vancouver woman was reported to have told police that she was forced into the alley and raped, but The Star has not been able to confirm the story with police.

The 52 year old Langley lawyer acknowledged that he faces a battle against the growing Reform movement here, but he told The Star that he believes Kim Campbell's leadership will provide the message that wayward conservatives need to hear to come back to the PCs. He said his emphasis in the federal election campaign, which some believe will be called this week, will be on economic growth: "That's the engine that drives everything, including jobs and our social programs and that's my priority." Bruce Barnes dropped out of the race before the first ballot and appeared to lend his support to Nundal over Gregory Thomas, in the packed Aldergrove Community Centre. Ken Cook, aide to retired MP Bob Wenman, predicted that the local party will have at least 1,000 volunteer workers ready to work the hustings for Nundal once the writ is dropped. Wenman told The Star that recent polling in the constituency showed Wenman leading the party here at 41 to 43 percent of the vote, primarily because of name recognition, but recent ill health and UN demands orf^ils time caused him to retire after 27 years in political office. He said Nundai will also benefit from name recognition, as his late father 'Doc' Elford Nundal's veterinary practice brought him to numerous homes in Langley and Matsqui over the years. "Don Nundal is a good candidate for the party," said Wenman. Don Nundal Turner offers tax amnesty for those who are behind OTTAWA - Finance Minister Garth Turner has offered an amnesty to those Canadians who have fallen behind on paying their income taxes.

Billyard says he supports the policies of the National Party of Canada, which believes in cancelling the free trade agreement,- eliminating the GST, having big business pay thek fair share of taxes, preserving health care and other social safety nets, democratic changes in the way government spends tax dollars, and a strong economic strategy for economic recovery.

Two persons on mountain bikes had discovered the body of an 20 year old male, shot in the head, near 24 Avenue and 196 Street, about 3:30 p.m., August 29.

The taxation control bylaw 'didn't get a seconder" but Lopushinsky said it may well come back as a referendum question in this November's elections. He described it as a means of "handcuffing government from abuse" of tax dollars. It would set tax ceilings, mandate where funds can go, and after use of "natural growth" of tax dollars to "offset CPI, would add growth to a rainy day reserve fund."

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 SETTLEMENT REFUSED ICBC surveillance target of local accident victim NORTH VANCOUVER - A Langley resident has turned down an ICBC settlement offer of $75,000, and vows she'll continue her Charter of Rights legal challenge against the corporation. Ann Binkle, 34, was initially suing ICBC for injuries suffered in two accidents in June of 1988. While ICBC admits to liability in both cases, the corporation has disputed the extent of her injuries. This was followed by her allegations that an ICBC investigator came into her home under the pretext of being a home buyer, in December 1989, and took video tapes of her and her children against her wishes. Her case is that as a Crown agent, ICBC is bound by privacy legislation to restrict its surveillance techniques. She's also started a support group for other citizens who feel they've been abused by ICBC. Last week she was flown to Kelowna by her lawyers for a meeting with ICBC lawyers and was urged to settle for the $75,000 offered. She refused and her lawyer, Roger Watts told the court, Monday, that he is no longer acting for Binkle. The case was adjourned for the third time, to Sept 27. :MÂ» CROSS BORDER SHOPPING REVIVED Service tax will drive dollars into Alberta Murrayville Hall #6 easily won the fire hose coupling event with a time of 38.5 seconds.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 AND THERE'S NOBODY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL Mikey is on the ropes By CARL G.STEWART Do vou want to hear a joke? Well, the polls in British Columbia have Mike Harcourt rated lower than Bill VanderZalm ever was. No, that isn't the joke. The poll also says that Mikey is simply oblivious to the lack of popularity. No, that isn't the joke either. Mr. Harcourt said that we have to address the perception that 'we (the NDP) are Ideologically driven.' But no, that Isn't the joke either, although you are permitted to laugh right out loud at that statement. In speaking to the media, not once did the premier admit that the NDP's radical legislative agenda might just be at the heart of the public's disapproval rating of his performance. No, no, that isn't the joke, but again you are allowed to guffaw because if you thought for a second that this man would admit to his own unpopularity,, then the joke is certainly on you. Here it comes. In the premier's mind, what has driven his personal approval and his government's ratings so low, has been (are you ready for the punch line?) a 'perception problem' on the part of British Columbians. If you are not slapping your knees by now, you are either a strong provincial NDP supporter or you didn't get it and must start reading all over again. Can you imagine the arrogance of this man? The NDP has spent more and put the people of this province deeper in debt, increased taxes without any solid reasoning and alienated most of the people they have come in contact with, and the problem is that of the people's perception. Get a life, Mike. Wrong order of words costs man $7,000 fine MONTREAL - A Quebec businessman could be facing up to a $7,000 fine - simply because of the order of the wording on his business sign. Quebec's controversial; sign law was recently amended to allow business people to use English in their signs, but only if they kept the English lettering secondary to the French. One businessman, whose sign read Auto Service, has found himself in trouble with the law. Officials said the sign's wording should have been turned around to read, Service Auto, and have brought him up on charges. The decline of a town By MARG CLADER The men were quite cocky, they stood in the sun: Let's go to the city, stock up and have some fun. We'll buy by the case, all under one roof, and save lots of money, of that we have proof. So, just that they did, for many a year, and of the results, never once did they fear. Until one fine day they perchance met again, standing uptown, just out of the rain. What's happened here? cried one in dismay. Their faces were ashen; they had much to say. The one scratched his head, the other said loud: There's no beer - no coffee - where's all the crowd? My wife's real sick and right off her feet, I came for some drugs, some milk and some meat. - The hospital's closed, the grocery stores, too! What in the world are we going to do? My furnace is shot and the plumbing all broken. The other one gasped, I thought he was choking: My car's a near wreck and my tires sure low, I need nails and lumber - there's no place to go. His friend hung his head, right down to his chest. It's out fault, he muttered. On our heads it rests. We passed this town by for the glimmer of lights, bought stuff by the carload and took in the sights. The city is bustling and bursting with pride, and all our own merchants they just up and dies. The houses are empty, the bank's repossessed. I'll tell you my friends. We are in for a test. We should have been smarter and wiser, they said. Then the town would be bustling, not nearly so dead. It's never too late, I heard one of them say, Through the folly of many, they'll all have to pay. They parted at last, with the wind turning cold And muttered: Buy locally! We should have been told. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kim should get down to running the country Law changes are hailed by coalition Editor, The Star, Sir, For the past few months we have seen our new Prime Minister Kim Campbell travelling very extensively throughout Canada. A close look at these travels reveals most trips have been in support of her campaign in the upcoming federal election. They have had little to do with running the country. When the PM travels the normal staff of assistants and security must travel with her. Therefore the cost to the taxpayer has been considerable. I, as a taxpayer, strongly object to the prime minister running her pre-election campaign at my expense. If this is leadership by example heaven help Canadians if she is Letters invited .

ERIC BYSOUTH, Langley TORONTO - The National Citizens' Coalition said a state- Governments should look to private industry for tips on how to save Editor, The Star, Sir, We would like to comment on your recent article about the acquisition of a Picker CT scanner for $800,000. by the Langley Memorial Hospital, paid by the taxpayers of B.C. Over a year ago we had offered a General Electric CT scanner in almost new condition to the Ministry of Health for only $15,000. a month for a period of three years, with no capital expenditure, guaranteed, installed and complete with a service contract. A service contract on a CT scanner can cost up to $100,000. or more a year. We. guaranteed uptime and performance. The same type of scanner has been in operation at the Chilliwack General Hospital for a few years and it along with hundreds of others like it have performed very well all over the 'world. We sent two letters outlining our proposal but we did not .even get the courtesy of a reply. We are only a small local B.C. company but we have over 30 years experience in the medical diagnostic imaging field. In this time of recession and constraint would it not have made sense to look at our proposal instead of paying out $800,000. plus service contract costs? It would have provided employment for a CT engineer that at the moment is unemployed and it would have provided much needed revenue for a local company. There have been at least two other scanners purchased for smaller size hospitals for which this scanner would have been suitable. May we suggest that if the government wants to save money on the purchase of medical equipment, they consult with experienced companies which are capable of coming up with innovative ideas on how to save money and not waste it. FRED J. FISCHER President, Excel Medical Systems Langley ment issued by Elections Canada that it will not enforce the electoral gag law is welcome, but redundant. The gag law threatened citizens with up to five years imprisonment if they independently spent more than $1,000 to support or oppose political parties or candidates during federal elections. "Of course, Elections Canada won't enforce the gag law," said NCC president David Somerville. "It can't enforce a law that doesn't exist and the gag law has been struck down as unconstitutional." Coalition launched the legal challenge to the law in April. The supreme court said the gag law violated Canadians' freedoms of expression and association and their right to an informed vote. How to live a happier life Editor, The Star, Sir, One in seven Canadians has arthritis. Contrary to popular belief arthritis isn't an "old person's disease": children, men, and women of all ages get arthritis. For many of these people pain, depression, and fatigue are a part of life. The Arthritis Society offers a proven self-help program in the Fraser Valley, developed at Stanford Arthritis Centre, for copying with arthritis. Right now there are no cures for the 115 different kinds of arthritis, only ways to control its impact. This year in B.C., 1,200 people with arthritis and their families found solutions to everyday problems, like getting a good night's sleep, going to work, and even carrying grocery bags, in the Arthritis Self- Management Program. The next course begins in Clearbrook this fall. It's estimated that most people with arthritis haven't had self- management training. Studies show that by learning self-management skills one can reduce pain, take less medicine, and live a happier life. If you need more information, please contact me at 521-7429. CATHERINE MORRIS, Burnaby 1 ^JHffiMfflfejjflfrM THE ALDERGROVE STAR. SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 New valley university may not be 'campus' By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - Major changes in post-secondary education are coming to the province and the minister in charge, Dr. Tom Perry says the Fraser Valley will likely lead the way in developing new approaches to higher education. Perry was at the official opening of the new Kwantlen College campus here last week, and had nothing but praise for the new institution. However, he said the recent report from the Fraser valley Committee on Post- Secondary Education suggested, "a new style of university that is much more responsive to the needs of the economy... (which would) educate people and train them for a job as part of a university education... (and would be) pioneered in the Fraser 5Uey." He said the report's authors, a committee drawn from academia and business, have recommended two possible models: "One is a polytechnical university deliberately set out to be different from the three existing universities; somewhat closer to the new University of Northern B.C. Another possible model is a regional university which incorporates University College of the Fraser Valley and Kwantlen College, add to it and from the parts assemble something that adds up to much more than the sum of its parts, and perhaps adds the Polytechnic component. "We're not talking Mickey Mouse here; we're talking about an institution that could eventually be the leading edge into the next century and might even leave the other universities in its dust," asserted Perry. Perry, an academic who has frequently criticized the "ivory tower" mentality of some other academics, waxed enthusiastic Advanced education minister Dr. Tom Perry sees new directions in the future. -Kurt Langmann photo about the "very exciting" and "sterling report" He acknowledged that his ministry is, "looking at some necessary capital expansion, but in general, in public buildings we haven't used our capital very efficiently. Schools only operate limited hours, weekdays, nine months of the year. Universities and colleges tend to operate longer than that, some are very highly utilized, others less so. I think we have a fair amount of room within our existing capital (buildings). There are exceptions and we will clearly be building many new facilities in the Fraser Valley, but we don't necessarily have to plop down a brand new, giant campus like Simon Fraser University when we've got resources already. "It's much more a question of integrating a network so that the student is able to study as closely to where they live as possible. Perhaps study at work or at home; not all the instruction needs to be In the classroom. ^Xe will increasingly be engaged in lifelong learning. "We can collaborate much more closely with employers. Some training can be delivered in the apprenticeship model; newfangled apprenticeship that's a little less formal than the old style." Perry pointed to the new agriculture studies offered at Kwantlen as an example of new approaches, where the agriculture and horticulture industries have worked with Kwanden College in designing both the program and facility, "it's a model which has attracted attention across Canada. We're leading the country, we should be very proud." Perry said the committee chair is currently meeting the public to explain the report and the, "next phase is to get interaction with the community. It is different, it's not another campus. It takes the best of tradition and integrates it with the needs of the next century. We should have the community consultation done in fall and then do some more detailed planning and look at the province's finances. We should start seeing results in roughly a year and a half from now." He said there would continue to be investment in enrolment growth in the province, as well as continuing development of partnerships between institutions such as BCIT and Langley School District, Kwantlen College and the Open learning Agency. "All that will keep going. We're just thinking a little bolder." While the very expensive chemistry and physics degrees would likely continue to be centred at the established universities, Perry said there is much that his ministry can do for New survey commissioned for "priorities" m MURRAYVILLE - Politicians here voted Monday night to spend another $30,000 on a follow-up survey to the one done last year called 'Langley Tomorrow.' - The pollsters, Canadian Facts, will be phoning between 300 and 650 households in the township to find out what the voters now want. Langley Tomorrow determined that the people of Langley wanted more recreational facilities and at the same time insisted upon the powers that be control the environment and keep the district rural. Two council members were sharply opposed to the new survey. "Let the new council (after the November elections) decide," said Coun. Aubrey Searle. And Coun. Muriel Arnason criticized the council decision as well. "Very expensive," she said. "Langley (is becoming) a very expensive, albeit beautiful place to live." She added that people , should be informed of the cost of new programs, and that it wasn't enough just to ask them what they want. The other council members said that the follow-up survey was needed in order for council to determine priorities. It -would be necessary to know what the needs were, said Coun. Trudi Campen, in order for the local politicians to determine the cost of new services. a "successful and diversified economy. It's ampying how many small innovative technology companies there are (in the Fraser Valley)." "Highflying" Kim gets an earful MURRAYVILLE - Coun. Aubrey Searle is not an avid supporter of the Progressive Conservative party nor of Prime Minister Kim Campbell. Searle told other council members here Monday night that he was resentful of the fact that Campbell, who inherited a sinking ship from former prime minister Brian Mulroney, has been spending in the neighborhood of $2-million of tax funds on a preelection swing through the country designed to rebuild the party's faltering image. Campbell has been spending more than $1.3-million on travel costs for herself and her entourage since the party's unofficial election campaign began. Once the election has been called, the Progressive Conservative party will have to start picking up the tabs, but until then it is up to the Canadian taxpayer. Searle is just one of many Canadians who is anything but impressed by the party's campaign tactics. ABBOTSFORD NISSAN ANNUAL DEMO SALE mmz The 94's are on the way, the 93's must go.

Fox run now in its 13th year VANCOUVER - Every fall for the past twelve years Canadians have participated in an annual event to commemorate a home grown hero. This event has become a Canadian tradition: The Terry Fox Run. In October 1979 Terry Fox wrote, "Somewhere the hurting must stop...and I am determined to take myself to the limit for this cause." To date The Terry Fox Run has raised over $ 100-rnlllion for innovative cancer research. In 1992, 130,000 citizens of B.C. and the Yukon raised $770,000 - a record tally in a tough economic climate. Aldergrove is one of the participating communities again this year, under the coordination of Gary Cooper. Sunday, September 19 marks the date for the 13th annual Terry Fox Run. Participants can run, walk, rollerblade, bike, or stroll any of the 1-10 kilometre courses set up at 120 community and over 450 school run sites around the province. Pledge sheets are available at Bank of Montreal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canada Trust, CIBC, Four Seasons Hotel, Peoples Drug Mart, Pharmasave, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Superstar Athletic Footwear outlets across B.C. and the Yukon. Those who are unable to physically participate can be involved by sponsoring a participant or simply sending in a donation. Lloyd Robertson, CTV anchor and host of the 1980 Telethon, is still inspired by Terry's example, "Terry Fox carried the torch for the giving side of humanity...his spirit and his example challenge every man, woman and child to try harder, demand less and give more." On Sunday, September 19, participate in the 13th annual Terry Fox Run. For more information on the Terry Fox Run in your community call 688-4611 or 1- 800-665-8369. Challenge Cup Showdown LANGLEY - The sports event of the century is making headlines where ever soccer buffs meet. We are talking about the long awaited tilt between "Jumping Joe" Lopushinsky's City Slickers and "Basher" Beales* Murrayville Maulers. The tension surrounding this long awaited rematch has tended to dull the bragging rights acquired by the previous winners,- but you can rest assured that the sky above Langley will be shimmering to the cries of the victors come game day. "White Line-tening" Phillips will keep goal for the Slickers and it is hoped his goalkeeping is straighter than the lines he paints. We have it on good authority that participants in local sobriety tests choose his lines over all others in the city. The Maulers will be guided by their "Field Marshall", Bill "Boom Boom" Lindahl, who we hear has been in serious training for the game. It is reported that he daily does five or six "feet-up-on-the- desks" when he thinks nobody is looking. "Jumping Joe" is not playing in the game, concerned about his physical fitness no doubt, but he will be in attendance in his bunny suit, keeping his charges hopping in the hopes that they can win the day. The make-up of each team is a closely guarded secret, as they imbibe daily doses of geritol during training, in preparation for the trials ahead. Copious amounts of liquid protein are also being consumed daily by the players, no doubt to provide some Netherlands Bravado on the field of batde. So come one and all and join the festivities as these two teams of undaunted warriors run the gauntlet of public abuse and do their utmost to come out of the game victorious, but more importandy, in one piece. Game time is 11 a.m., Monday, Sept. 6 at McLeod Park, 56 Avenue at 216 Street. Opening ceremonies for the Langley Cup, featuring over 100 youth teams, boys and girls, from Alaska to California, is at 10 a.m., Sept. 4. "Lots of surprises," are promised during the Cup events, sponsored by Langley Soccer Club. â i Register for School wm If your child will be attending a Langley School District school for the first time, please register your child before September 7,1993.

They invite you to come and join the fun and festivities while cheering on over 55 competitors from Washington, Oregon and B.C. The second annual Phae Collins Memorial Horse Show is in honour of benefactor, Mrs. Phae Collins. This is an event where the mentally and physically disabled can "Strut Their Stuff". It is a fun show for disabled riders of all ages from three to 74 years of age. They have Egg and Spoon races, the Working Cow Horse where the volunteers are the cows, even a Stick Horse Class, but they also have a more serious side with English and Western Equitation Classes, Handy Horse Trial Classes, CEF - Walk and Trot Classes along with Jumping, Pole bending and Dressage. They have a wonderful celebrity to open the games in Jim Byrnes. He was left a paraplegic after a 1972 car accident on Vancouver Island and has overcome his disability and has an extremely successful career. Byrnes is a distinguished rhythm and blues guitarist and singer, and he is also a very well known actor with roles in such acclaimed series as Neon Rider, Danger Bay, The Highlander and was a regular with the weekly series Wiseguy for its entire duration. He also does voice overs for such cartoon characters as Gi Joe, He-Man and Camp Candy. This is very significant and important for students to associate with, as they too can be successful even though they have a disability. On September 11 and 12 come on out, cheer on and applaud our local disabled riders. Even though it is a fun competition, you will be amazed by the high calibre of skills and concentration displayed by the many students. For the many spectators, besides viewing the actual competition they have a fantastic petty zoo, a vaulting demo, also a canine agility club demo and the bar-b-que will be cooking "Chef Irene's" specialties. Come one, come all and plan to have a fun filled and action packed day. PRDA is constantly on the lookout for volunteers and funding to keep the facility going.

Drilling rights revenue increased VICTORIA - The August sale of oil and gas drilling licences and leases, all located in northeastern B.C. brings $16.8-million in revenue to the province. The total brings this year's sale to more than $80-million, which is more than twice the total amount of $39.6-million for all of 1992. Energy minister Anne Edwards says the large expenditures on drilling rights; show continuing investor confidence in British Columbia. No effort to standardize MURRAYVILLE - A Coun. Muriel Arnason motion calling for standardization of bylaw restrictions dealing with commercial truckers in the whole of the lower mainland was defeated by a vote of five-to-one Monday night Arnason said she had had conversations with truckers doing business in the lower mainland and not being totally familiar with all the bylaws because they vary from municipality to municipality. She said the industry would prefer an overall set of bylaws for the entire area, and called for "a meeting of all lower mainland councils" to discuss the proposal for an "acceptable master bylaw." "It costs money," came the response from Coun. Steve Ferguson. It would involve a lot of staff time, he said, and that costs money. As for the joint meeting of all the councils in the region, Mayor John Beales said, that would be a futile effort to even attempt Thursday, September 2 at 6:15 p.m. at McMillan field. The game annually pits this year's UCFV varsity squad in preparation for their fall conference season against an array of former UCFV players. The varsity won over the alumni in 1991, whereas the alumni turned the tables for the victory in 1992. This year's varsity team features a number of former alumni who are returning for the 1993 varsity campaign including Shawn Iversen, Shane Mummery, Reid Trustham, Cam Willmets, Craig Black, Merv Byres and Ed Bradford. The alumni will likely be led by Kyle and Aaron Williams, Kevin Snowdon, Al Unger, John Wedel and Gary Fast. Former UCFV varsity players who would like to play should contact Ken Fernstrom at 853- 6476 or Scott Fast at 858-6337. Split decision MURRAYVILLE - Councilors are split on whether or not to allow new buildings to go up on a property at 23160 - 72 Avenue. For 14 years there has been a garden supply store on the property, but because it is in a rural setting this commercial venture has been nonconforming in nature. With increased building requirements and because the property had become an eyesore to some neighbors, council took action to have improvements done to the property. The owner responded with a development proposal that was accepted reluctandy by the neighbors. But not all councilors are happy. "It is out-and-out (proposed) industrial use," said Coun. Aubrey Searle this week. "It should not be approved for a residential zone." "It is the best thing to do right now," said Coun. Steve Ferguson. The vote was split.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 Refinery "expropriation" threatens local co-ops By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - A battle between Federated Co-operatives Ltd. and the Saskatchewan government could have serious repercussions for the several thousand local members of Otter Co-op. At issue is the Saskatchewan government's recent moves to extricate itself from a legal contract with the co-operative, over the issue of a very expensive heavy oil upgrader in Regina. What the Saskatchewan government is attempting is tantamount to expropriation, and could 'have very serious negative impact on our co-operative's operations,* said Otter Co-op president Rick SewelL "This issue is extremely important for all citizens and businesses that operate in Canada,* said Sewell, who has mounted a protest campaign among local members. ""The Implications of a government willing and able, through legislation, to exercise this level of power are far-reaching. It sets a dangerous precedent for other similar enactments not only in Saskatchewan, but also in other Canadian provinces and territories.* In the early '80s, the previous Saskatchewan government came to Fed Co-op with a proposal that a heavy oil upgrader be built in conjunction with the Co-op refinery in Regina. The government wanted to use its extensive heavy oil reserves, in the aftermath of the "energy crisis*, but the process is very expensive. The co-op studied the proposal but determined that should the differential between the price of heavy and light oil not be great, there would be "very serious cash flow shortages." However, because the upgrader would cost $700- million less for the government to build at the Co-op refinery than as a stand-alone operation, Fed Co-op agreed to the project provided that the Co-op was not required to participate beyond making their refinery units available along with the infrastructure to operate the complex. The Saskatchewan government signed detailed contracts that required it to put up the initial capital and any future cash flow shortfalls, because it would benefit from the economic activity and royalties that accrued from the upgrading of 50,000 barrels of heavy crude daily. The plant and its technology have proven successful, but now that the province is going through very tough economic times and is having troubles serving its debt, it has taken the highhanded approach in reneging on its contract. The new government has passed legislation, called Bill 90, to force Fed Co-op to not only change legal operating agreements but also take earnings from the refinery to support the upgrader, "which operates as a completely separate unit from a financial point of view," observed Sewell. Among Bill 90's fallout are these frightening aspects: The government can take money from the Co-op Refinery without limit; amend all agreements and impose any terms Saskatchewan wishes; take away the refinery's right to refer any matters to the courts; and seize all assets of the refinery in all agreements without compensation. In the face of heated opposition, the Saskatchewan government appointed Justice Willard Estey to examine the issue, but even though Esteys report supported the Fed Co-op's position, the government has made no move to backtrack on their legislation. Sewell said the impact on B.C. member co-ops is significant. He notes that during some severe economic times in the '80s, it was only the earnings from the petroleum sales which kept Otter Co-op from the brink of insolvency. The threat of losing refinery earnings could once again push the 25 B.C. Co-op retail outlets over the brink. Patronage refunds, from FCL to retailers in B.C. on petroleum only amounted to about $5.1-million last year, of which $3.5-million was paid in cash. "Most of the $1.4-million Otter Co-op received as patronage from FCL in the last two years came from purchases by the petroleum department,* said Sewell. "It is ironic that now that we are finally able to report a profit in all three departments, the most profitable part of our business is being threatened. Remember that the Co-op system entered into the upgrader deal with considerable reluctance and obtained no great benefit from it. "The best outcome we can hope for is to have the government withdraw the legislation (and) we believe that this can best be achieved by a groundswell of protest from the large Co-op membership throughout western Canada," said Sewell. Copies of the protest are available at the Otter Co-op office. (For tbe record, Kurt Langmann has been a contributing member of Otter Co-op for more than 20 years, through tbe good and bad years, but does not believe this 'conflict of interest' has unduly tainted tbe foregoing story. All material related to this issue, including fustice Estey's report, is available to concerned members of tbe public, whether or not they are members of cooperatives.) Reading all about the PNE.

Assessment changes assist working farmers VICTORIA - Changes to British Columbia's Assessment Act regulations to ensure working farmers retain tax benefits associated with farming in the Agricultural Land Reserve were announced by agriculture minister Bill Barlee'^nd municipal affairs minister Robin Blencoe. The changes provide that ALR land not actively used for farming may be classified as farmland as long as it is part of a working farm and makes a meaningful contribution to the farm's operation. A simple certification procedure includes a declaration that the land is being held for farming. Under the new regulations, a farm is defined as all or part of a parcel of land which, in addition to meeting the qualifications for a farm under the Assessment Act, is used for primary agricultural production or the farmer's dwelling. The new rules apply to property classifications for the 1994 tax year. BCAA regional offices can be contacted for further information on the new8 standards. House to go MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here voted Monday night to have a developer remove a house that would have been a part of a seven-lot residential subdivision. The architect had proposed to remodel an older type home so it would fit in "With the other houses proposed for the neighborhood development. But councilors said it would still "stick out like a sore thumb" and that they had bad experiences from the past in allowing cost- saving measures of this nature. They voted unanimously that the house would have to come down. #.vt IN THE with candidate RANDY WHITE, *MlEy C.M.A. ENJOY A SPECIAL EVENING OF FUN AND INFORMATION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 1993 7:30 -9:30 P.M.

Fish habitat improved on Salmon LANGLEY - Ross Belsher, parliamentary secretary to the minister of'fisheries and oceans Ross Reid, announced a Green Plan project designed to improve fish habitat in Langley's Salmon River. This project will enhance a watershed that Is the largest producer of wild coho salmon in the central Fraser Valley," said Belsher. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans with $25,000 this year from the federal government's Green Plan, will restore vegetation along the Salmon River to reduce bank erosion, keep the water cooler during the summer and provide cover, protection and shade for fish. The project also includes improving culverts that impede fish passage and building fences to keep grazing cattle from destroying vegetation and wading in the streams. Work begins this summer. Trees will be planted on sections of private property along the river. Property owners will be contacted to identify where tree cover is lacking and to seek access to those areas. Property owners who want to cooperate in the program can contact Pete Scales, 533-6136 at the Township of Langley, or Cathy McClean, 666-3986 at DFO. The work will be carried out in cooperation with Langley Township and the Langley Environmental Partnership Society, a non-profit group that will carry out stream enhancement on the Salmon River. The Salmon River watershed contributes 15,000 to 20,000 coho salmon to the Georgia Strait and Vancouver Island fisheries each year. It also produces good numbers of cutthroat and steelhead trout, and is the only known home in the Fraser River system for the endangered Salish sucker.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 11 I Phantom still haunts us with age-old story By CAILLIN LANGMANN VANCOUVER - After being exposed to all the advertising, to all ravings of friends, and to all the general hype surrounding Andrew Lloyd Webber's critically acclaimed Phantom of the Opera, I decided to go see for myself what it was all about. So after spending a hundred dollars on clothes and fighting my way through the home base of British Columbia's worst drivers, my sister and I arrived at the QE Theatre, which was, incidentally modified to handle the candles emerging from the floor of the Phantom's Lair and the Giant Chandelier. I am not a complete stranger to the QE, but every time one enters one can only help but be a little excited and apprehensive. My sister was genuinely excited. So we got our little program books, found our seats, and awaited. It's 1911, and pieces of scenery from the old Paris Opera House are being auctioned off. The most prominent bidder is an ancient man, Raoul Vicompte de Chagny (Byron Nease). This character bids upon just about anything, having flashbacks about certain props, the last being a giant chandelier which was destroyed by the famous Phantom. The Phantom, being played by Cris Groenendaal and not Jeff Hyslop as was expected, is not altogether understood, and has become something of a mystery in the House's history, with the last bid being made upon the chandelier, which has been rewired for new electrical lighting, Raoul has his last flashback, and we are whisked into the 1880s. The Opera House becomes alive with the rehearsal of Hannibal. The transition between the decaying Opera House of the 1900s to its aliveness of the 1880s gave an almost nostalgic feeling, as if I had been placed in the fading glory years of opera. Anyhow, it seems as if the Phantom's haunting has driven the last owner to try to make a quick sale of the Opera House to two entrepreneurs, Monsieur Andre (Patrick Timney) and Monsieur Firm-in (Stephen Beamish). As soon as it's sold, the Phantom starts to drive the new owners insane, causing backdrops to fall (which look heavy) and other disasters driving Carlotta (Lyse Guerin) to stomp off screaming something like "Si these things do 'appenl Well until you stop these things from 'appening, this this does not 'appenl* in some outrageous continental accent. With the celebrated Prima Donna off sulking, the lead role is left open. Christine Daae (Susan Cuthbert), a ballet girl, is urged by her friend and dancer, Meg Giry (Amy Walsh) to sing for Monsieur Andre and Firmin. They are skeptical but as it turns out, Christine is quite a singer and is soon playing the lead role in the Opera House's production of Hannibal. Raoul Vicompte de Chagny is quite impressed when he sees his old childhood friend singing the lead role, and wishes to see her after the performance, but her teacher who is no other than the Phantom, whisks her away to his lair. Well, the story unfolds... One cannot help but feel sorry for the Phantom, who is born with only half a face (the distorted part he hides behind a mask and darkness), a circus freak whose own mother abandoned him. He is a genius, however, being both an inventor and composer, and he finds sanctuary in the dark basement He's back! The Phantom returned to Vancouver for another run last month. of the Paris Opera House (actually a subterranean lake). He haunts the House and is able to make quite a sum of money by threatening the owners with disaster unless they pay him a retainer. It is the classic story of beauty and the beast, the Phantom falls in love with Christine, but she is already in love with childhood friend Raoul. This is a really vicious love circle, as the Phantom being no Cyrano (or Romeo) is extremely jealous and starts hurting and killing people in a sort of malicious revenge, which he justifies because no one ever had any pity for him. He doesn't realize that it's what's inside that counts, and that Christine would have loved him even with his face being the way Bargains galore in?good reading ALDERGROVE - The library here will be holding its annual book sale on Saturday, September 11.

What my parents didn't do for me So many times I have thought about the things I missed from my own parents. Here are few of the things they did not do for me: They didn't let me do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted - until I was old enough to handle my life. They didn't shower me with things, things and more things. For some reason, they didn't believe it served any useful purpose. They didn't pass up an opportunity to teach me the value of money and the benefits (both physical and moral) of hard work. They never failed to listen to me when I had a problem, nor did they refuse to give me sound advice when I asked. And when I didn 't want advice or help, they didn't offer it. They didn't try to spare me the pain of making mistakes when I was trying to grow up. At the same time, they left no doubt about their love for me. ^Sul So often, when I hear of confused, unhappy, overindulged kids, I end up wishing more parents wouldn't do for their kids what my parents didn't do for me. Goo bless 'em. -From Ann Landers it is. The basic theme is that what is inside a person makes up what he dr she is, ugliness' or beauty on the outside is fictitious and misleading. This theme is strengthened by other instances such as Christine becoming a talented singer and not just some pretty chorus girl, and Carlotta, the conceited, being a fake for all her beauty. All in all, I found the scenery and props delightful. It all seemed to flow, which was ingenious and I am told, elaborate. The special effects, such as the hundreds of candles in his lair, and fireballs, also accentuate the Phantom's eeriness. These special effects are often overlooked in this Hollywood age. Even though it is more a musical that an opera, there are pieces out of classic operas that serve to remind you of where this all started and also help with the setting of the Opera House. The entire show was altogether enjoyable, a sweet sort of love story, and quite a welcome and different change from standard- fare entertainment. The music and performances are outstanding. It is well worth seeing, its romantic feeling is exciting and enticing. I enjoyed the entire musical, the theme something we can all understand and learn from, and recommend it for anyone. And do I dream again? for now I find, the Phantom of the Opera is there, Inside my mind...

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 Neil keeps forever young By KURT LANGMANN It seems you can expect Neil Young to do the unexpected. Perhaps his only seemingly obvious commercial move was to get on the "Unplugged" bandwagon earlier this year, but which is still his biggest top-ten type seller. Maybe Neil's just prescient enough to anticipate trends? In any case, it's a different approach once more for his Saturday, Sept. 4 concert at BC Place stadium. He's got the ground-breaking R&B outfit, Booker T & The MG's (remember Green Onions?) backing him up for the show and has the diverse alternatives of Pearl Jam and Blind Melon and surprise guests opening for him. Expect to hear a wild range of sounds from Neil and friends, and you have your' choice of reserved seats In the stands or general admission on the floor. Memphis soul in the form of Steve Cropper and band, Booker T & The MG'S supports Neil Young at BC Place Saturday. even that recording was in step with his solo acoustic concert tour which brought him to a Washington- vineyard concert last summer. That tour was on the heels of his Harvest Moon acoustic-style album â acclaimed as the long-awaked follow-up to the 20 year old Harvest album Dwight Yoakam brings the hits to PNE Coliseum Saturday. Steve Wariner comes to Cloverdale this month. m competition for your concert dollar that night are Dwight Yoakam, paired up with Carlene Carter at the PNE Coliseum. Again, both acts are delightful on stage, every bit as good as thek recordings;. Garter's a party animal and her last two recordings in the country vein have been solid sellers for her, too. Yoakam is still going strong with his recent album, This Time churning out hit single after hit single. Another solid stage act is UB40, coming to the Orpheum, DAY BINGO BINGO il W WALK-IN PROGRAM 7 DAYS A WEEK Sun. to Sat. Doors Open 11 a.m. Starts 11:30 - 6 p.m. Sat. & Sun.

The England-based mixed-race reggae outfit has lots of soul and have had their share of hit singles, too. Having seen all of the aforementioned acts before I can assure you of a good time at your choice of show. Coming up on September 22 at Cloverdale Agriplex is a triple-bill of Steve Wariner, Toby Keith and Cassandra Vasik. Wariner's hot these days with a new album, Drive that deserves all the praise k's received. Barf Brooks is back again with a new album that's sure to sell a few quad-zillion copies, although I'm damned if I can figure out why. I know he's got lots of fans and I'd love to help him out. Which way did he come in? George Thorogood and the Destroyers had a party time at the Coliseum last week, although I find that size venue often works against a performer that demands immediacy over bombast. The sonic assault took away from the subtleties that old blues needs, but for flatout rock'n'roll like his new single, Haircut, it didn't really matter. Other shows: April Wine, Sept. 6 at ogue Theatre; Ziggy Msrley & the Melody Makers, Sept 10-11 at Commodore; Michelle Shocked, Oct. 1 at Commodore; Lucinda Williams and Herald Nix, Sept. 2 at Town Pump; Moody Blues & VSO, Sept. 10 at Deer Lake Park; Johnny Winter and Wailin' Walker Band, Sept. 17 at Commodore; Trooper, Sept. 4 at Commodore; and DOA and guests in a benefit for Clayoquot's Friends, Sept. 3 at Commodore. Bumbershoot arts festival returns to Seattle this weekend, Sept. 3-6, and the $8 tickets are a real bargain of cultural diversity, including Kinks, Ray Charles, Dwight Yoakam, UB40, Lucinda Williams, Tish Hinojosa, Barenaked Ladies, Mark O'Connor, Chet Atkins and many more. I didn't get to meet A.J. Croce while on holiday in San Diego last month; his mother, Ingrid said he was on tour in Oregon at the time and expected in the Vancouver area some time in September. Ingrid Croce runs three fine jazz club-restaurants in the Gaslamp Quarter there, and has a bit of a shrine upstairs for her late husband, the great balladeer Jim Croce who was taken so suddenly in a plane crash 20 years ago. Now that "shrine" also includes her son, A.J., recently signed to Private Musicj and his debut album is a wonderful tribute to the swing jazz piano-vocal styles of New Orleans and Kansas City with 12 traditionals and originals that are perfect. I still hope to connect with A.J. soon, but meanwhile his album is highly recommended. In a similar vein, but altogether different is the new album, El Seven Niteclub featuring Big Sugar (Hypnotic) with 16 mainly old tunes from the likes of Duke Ellington, Henry Mancini and Billie Holiday, all done by rock vocalists like Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies), Molly Johnson (Infidels) Lee Aaron and David Sereda, with musical support from the Big Sugar band (which includes keyboardist- producer Ken Whiteley). What k is, is a recording of a jam held monthly at Toronto's Rivoli club since 1987, but it's a lot of fun to listen to even if you've never been there. Technical proficiency meets soul. Bluegrass Festival comes to Chilliwack this weekend CHILLIWACK - Labour Day weekend promises to be a superb musical experience thanks to the coming of the sixth annual Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival, held at the Antique Powerland on Lickman Road from September 3 to 5- This three day event is great for campers or day visitors. It provides not only top notch entertainment, but also wonderful home cookin' and lots of activities for adults and kids alike. A number of great bands from all over the United States and Canada are scheduled to appear at the festival. Many of these have appeared at the Chilliwack festival before and are back by popular demand. The first of these groups and perhaps one of the more well- known comes from Greenwood, Indiana. Wild And Blue as they are called, continues the family tradition in Bluegrass. David Harvey, his wife, and sister-in- law together with friend John Smith make up the group that was named the "Best New Bluegrass Band of the Year" at the 1992 Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America Awards. They are known for their high-quality musical entertainment and wonderful stage show. Loose Ties is another popular group, playing thek own special brand of music, influenced by all sorts of rhythms, from swing and blues, to jazz and reggae. Hailing from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this up-and-coming group is receiving rave reviews not only for thek recordings but also their extraordinary performances. A favourite from Alberta, Hot House Band has a strong repertoire built on the "Stanley Sound" as well as an appreciation for the contemporary influence. A classic combination of mandolin, bass, guitar, and banjo plus a rich blend of smooth vocals gives this quartet an award-winning edge. Other performers include the popular Tumbleweed, a local quartet; Queens Bluegrass from Sedro-Wooley; and Snohomish County's Higher Ground. Don't miss this weekend of high quality family entertainment. There's no better way to spend the last long weekend of the summer.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 13 Alder Lanes «Cgw3n«53 Hart's Video Home Hardware Reform Party Alder Inn Aldergrove Saddlery ^^^^j^i^S^^S Seven Heaven Revitalization enters new phase in Aldergrove's business area design plan By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - A bylaw that would seek to Improve the look of this town's commercial area will come to a public hearing on Sept. 20, and the township's senior long range planner, Paul Crawford, believes the proposed design guidelines will be approved by council shortly after that date. The 32-page proposed guidelines were drafted by consultant Robert Inwood in May and once passed into law would enable local building owners to qualify for provincial funding under the Facade Improvement Grant program. However, Crawford said the bylaw is not meant to be "a real prescription. It's not like a zoning bylaw; it does leave quite a range of options. There are lots of other possibilities." He said he was disappointed in that there was not a great deal of turnout at the open house meetings the township sponsored with Inwood earlier this year â perhaps because many of the building owners are not residents here â but he said those who did turn out were "very supportive." The impetus behind the proposals can primarily be credited to the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee, headed by seemingly tireless volunteer, Eleanor Parkinson. The committee has been working on a number of local improvement projects for several years now, and were enthusiastic about the township bringing Inwood's expertise on board. Inwood was the architect behind the spectacular redevelopment of Chemainus and Nelson. "Improvements to downtown businesses would draw more shoppers and increase business activity in the area," said Parkinson, who incidentally is a longtime resident and is neither an owner of a business nor commercial building here. The Star's publishers, owners of the building at 3089 - 272 Streetfnivve taken a keen interest in the proposals and promptly contracted local painters, Kootenay Lake Painting Ltd. to repaint The Star building in the style suggested by Inwood. "We're very pleased with the results," said Inge Langmann, adding that she was also happy to see that the work inspired several other local business- people to repaint thek buildings. Mohammed Shamin, owner of neighboring Seven Heaven convenience store, said he investigated the suggested drawings but found the color scheme did not suit his new signs. Still, he contracted Kootenay Lake Painting to redo his building in a style coordinated with The Star. "That's good," said Crawford. "We're just saying it's nice if owners look at the Inwood drawings. Painting won't require permits under the proposed bylaw. We're just trying to get people fired up and help them where we can" Inwood has also suggested a gazebo at the BC Tel building, with "Aldergrove" boldly painted on the four sides, as a sort of centre-piece for the town Crawford said the suggestion has not yet been submitted to BC Tel for thek consideration, but the government was definitely interested in "making the main corner in town friendly looking." Lynn Fripps of ARC gave The Star color copies of Inwood's drawings for a couple dozen buildings in the town, and they have been reproduced On this page. Unfortunately, the necessary size reductions to the drawings don't do justice to the originals, but readers are welcome to view the full-size originals at The Star's front desk during business hours. Also available is a copy of the proposed building design guidelines. The examples "demonstrate the dramatic improvement a coat of paint, some trim, a roofline change or an awning can make. Imaginative skyline designs rather than flat roof lines are encouraged along with exterior finishes that have been historically used in Aldergrove, such as stucco and wood. Many improvements to facades are not expensive. Costs for simple improvements, including repainting and adding some trim, may be $3,000 to $5,000 for a 25- to 30-foot storefront." If the designation of commercial properties in Aldergrove as a development permit area is approved by council, new buildings and improvements to existing buildings will require issuance of a development permit by council. Then facade improvement grants will become available, too, providing one-third of the cost, to a maximum of $350 per metre, to improve the fronts of buildings. Heritage designations coming as Langley tries to preserve old By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - While the township's Heritage Management Plan is not directly connected to the proposed Aldergrove Commercial Building Design Guidelines, the two issues are somewhat related in that the municipal government is trying to think ahead about preserving and enhancing local character buildings. Senior long range planner Paul Crawford said their attempt in late June to identify sites and buildings of historical interest resulted in a total of 150 buildings proposed for recognition. "Now we have to come up with a way of managing heritage â¢buildings, many of which are privately owned. To try to find ways of helping owners protect these sites," said Crawford. Please see page 16... Langley's heritage will be protected under new municipal legislation coming into effect this fall.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 A recent exchange of ideas between school districts will lead to opportunities for Langley's students. School board chair Marlene Grinnell (centre) makes a presentation to visitors from Chiyoda-Machi, left to right, Kikuo Sekiguchi, Hirokazu Oki and Gus Higuchi. NEW PROGRAMS IN THE OFFING Japanese welcomed to Langley LANGLEY - A Japanese delegation led by the superintendent of schools for the city of Chiyoda- Machi, arrived in Langley this past week to discuss an annual exchange program between students of their city and Langley students. Chiyoda-Machi is a cjjy/township located about 60 kilometres northwest of Tokyo. Board chair Marlene Grinnell welcomed the six visitors. "You have chosen well in your selection of Langley. We realize that other countries and cultures help to enrich the lives of our students," said Grinnell. The superintendent -of schools of Chiyoda-Machi, Kikuo Sekiguchi, presented the idea of the student exchange program which would include a two week homestay- program where secondary students could learn more about Canadian or Japanese family lifestyles and at- tend the local school. A major goal would be to encourage better fluency in conversational English or Japanese for the students who have studied these languages. Langley's superintendent of schools Emery Dosdall welcomed the proposal and offered some dates for the exchange that the delegation could take back to their board for discussion. Dosdall suggested a visit between the dates of March 23 and April 7 would, give students an opportunity to spend time with Canadian families during the spring break as well as offering the students a chance to attend classes at our schools. When the official proposal is approved, Wendy MacKinlay, Stefan needs you now! "Hi, my name is Stefan Overmeer and Im from Holland, rm 16 years old and I live with my mom and dad and my younger brother and sister. I really enjoy sports such as tennis and soccer, and I also really love comedy or dramatic theatre and playing computer games. 1 am so excited about coming to Canada and seeing tbe nature, knowing the people, and learning a new way of life..." If you would be interested in hosting Stefan, and leaning about the many benefits of student exchange, please call Paul Walker on (604) 795 3424 or call EF Foundation toll-free at 1-800-263 2825. EF Educational Foundation for Foreign Study a non-profit organisation VFpu ndation principal, district resource programs and Sylvia Toews, coordinator of international students program for Langley School District will coordinate the proposals for the program with Gus. Higuchi, translator and emissary of the mayor's office of Chiyoda- Machi. "I'm really happy that we can offer this valuable opportunity and learning experience for our students, our teachers and the host families,'' said Toews.

Lian will teach a newly developed course, Chin 101/102, entitled "Introduction to Chinese Language and Culture," worth three semester hours each semester. The course covers the basics of Mandarin Chinese, focusing on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, 'with an emphasis on listening and speaking. Approximately one third of the course will also be devoted to a study of Chinese culture from both an historical and contemporary perspective. Designed for persons wanting to become involved with China's business, government and cultural activities both in Canada and abroad, this course will also cater to those with a general interest in the residents of China. Space is still available for this fall course, which accepts a maximum of-24 students.

The four- day show, which concluded Aug. 24, featured over 400 sheep in competition. The reserve championships for both ewe and lamb were award- ed to Brass Bell Harms of Aldergrove, in the feature breed Suffolk show. Showing the reserve champion coloured ewe was Brass Bell Farms, while both the grand and reserve champion ram came from the flock of Country Meadow Farm in Surrey. The pen of three class was won by Ann Silcock of Maple Ridge. In the smaller North Country Cheviot show, other championship rosettes went to High Voltage Cheviots of Langley (grand champion ewe). A local breeder to emerge with a rosette was Briar Patch Southdowns of Langley, which brought the reserve champion ram into the ring for the Southdown show. The Meat Industry trophy awarded to the best entry in the â single market lamb carcass class went to Carole Olsen of Langley. After being shown live in the ring, these lambs are sent to slaughter and their carcasses graded to determine the eventual victor. required. Classes will be held in the newly refurbished language laboratory classroom, RNT 221, from 15:45 - 17:35 Tuesdays and Thursdays, commencing Thursday, September 9. The new exchange arrangement established between TWU and the Tianjin Foreign Languages Institute, located in Tianjin, China's fourth largest city, brings both Lian and a col- league, Liu Guiying, to visit the Univer«$y during the 1993/94 academic year. Lian has been residing in the BC Lower Mainland since October, 1991, when she arrived from China as a visiting scholar in English language training at the University College of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford. She has been a member of the English department at the Tianjin Foreign Languages Institute since 1980. Both instructors will interact with the university community in a number of ways, including the auditing of several courses on North American culture.

Reacting possibly to criticism of Vancouver city, which has been accused of being ham- fisted and overly bureaucratic in its dealings with its heritage building owners, Crawford said -his department is, "taking a fairly soft approach. We want to find other incentives, possibly tax incentives that could be written into a covenant with the owners who wish to participate." There have been a number of successes with municipal-owned buildings, such as the F.J. Hart/BC Tel Building project in Aldergrove and a couple of old homes in Murrayville. These have been partnerships with the Aldergrove and Langley Heritage Societies. Government has provided land and technical assistance, and Crawford said the long-established Langley Heri tage Society, "has been really active in restoring several buildings," including the Wark/ Dumais House in partnership with Kwantlen College in Langley city. However, Crawford said these are very expensive projects in both time and money for the societies to be able to tackle all of the 150 proposed heritage designations, and government will have to come up with other means for the many privately owned buildings. "There is also new provincial legislation coming down on this," which the municipality will have to consider, said Crawford. He added that the township is. also including a number of historic trees and roads in the proposed heritage designation bylaw, which is, "coming up later this year." 50 NEW 1993 FORD CARS MUST BE S01D! 1993 TOPAZ 2 door sport I i ! uâjBÂ»Vifcc^^ 'k am^^l^m\^^^^^mmW& WAS Stk. 193)0077 1993 TOPAZ GS 4 door, auto, p/s, 2-tone, luggage rack, alum, wheels.

The Matsqui Holstein Club impressed judges with Bossy's Butter Bulletin, which presented the facts on why butter is better for you, and the Matsqui Beefers were right behind with an effective display BC Tel gets go-ahead for referendum VANCOUVER - BC Tel's proposal for a referendum to create one new toll-free area for the Lower Mainland has been approved by the Canadian Rad io-1 ele visio n and Tele communic ations Commission. All customers in areas where the residential individual line rate will go up by more than $1. per month will be able to vote on the Lower Mainland Local Calling Plan. "We are pleased that our customers will have the opportunity to vote on this plan," says Dale Reid, project manager for the plan. "The new rate structure will mean that all calls in the area stretching from Bowen Island to Aldergrove would be toll-free and that could mean significant savings in overall monthly phone bills." The proposal calls for a three- zone price structure and elimination of all long distance charges for calls within or between zones. As directed by the CRTC, Abbotsford and Mission are not included in the plan. Aldergrove subscribers will not vote as the increase in rates would be 10 cents to 45 cents per month. Customers in the 12 Lower Mainland communities who will take part in the referendum will receive an information pamphlet on how the new plan will affect their rates and calling areas. This pamphlet will be included along with their phone bills in September and October. The referendum ballots themselves will be mailed separately between October 11 and October 22 and must be received by return mail no later than November 30. Ballots will be counted in December and results announced in 1994. If approved by majority it will come into effect May 15, 1994. on how cover cropping can Reduce Soil Erosion By Cater.

"We want our urban visitors to obtain a better understanding of the animals in our barns, their purpose, treatment and care," says PNE agriculture manager Harvey Carroll. To that end, the PNE has introduced agricultural land commission barn tours and the target walking ring this year. The continuous barn tours take interested visitors through the PNE livestock barns, as knowledgeable hosts provide in-depth background information on the various animal breeds, including their history, care and purpose. Questions are always welcome as the hosts familiarize urban residents with the animals' requirements. Hourly outdoor demonstrations (weather permitting) in the target walking ring provide PNE visitors with another opportunity to personally meet the animals and their owners. Owners are only too happy to show off the capabilities of the animals and describe the hours of effort involved in caring for and training them. "We are all animal welfare people," Carroll says "our animals are championship-calibre, they receive the best of care, and we invite anyone to inspect them at anytime." To ensure no problems at the Pacific National Exhibition, veterinarians inspect all animals when they arrive and continually monitor them throughout their stay at the PNE. The vets pay par- ' ticular attention to the "modernity'1 ward, incubators and other birthing displays to ensure births are problem-free and that both mothers and their newborn ba- biesprosper. "We have a complete animal hospital on-site and our veterinarians are either on-site or on- call 24 hours a day everyday of the fair," says staff veterinarian Dr. Clair Morriss. All animals are trained for show purposes and eagerly await their appearance in the show barns. Despite this, agriculture programs are regularly rotated so animals are not unduly, stressed. "You will see very few animals at the end of the fair that were here at the beginning," Morriss notes. Although the Pacific National Exhibition schedules programs to provide as much audience appeal and education as possible, Carroll notes the requirements of the livestock are-always the first priority. "Our exhibitors have made considerable investments in their animals and are therefore most concerned about their welfare, so we prefer to err on the side of caution," he says, adding "we fully support the SPCA and invite them to regularly monitor our programs and our care of the animals on our grounds." ASK T' ' ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I'm madder than a wet hen. Last week I bought some eggs from a friend of mine. They just got some new layers last month and she said the eggs were super good and very large and I should come and get some. She knows my husband and I really like our fresh eggs in the morning. The day after I had been to her farm I took two eggs from the box and prepared to poach them. I cracked one and discovered it was hard-boiled. The next one was also hard- boiled. I opened every egg in the box only to discover that they were all hard-boiled. As each egg went through I just got madder and madder. At the end I phoned my friend and told her, in no uncertain terms, what I thought of her joke. She started to laugh and explained to me that she had hard-boiled a dozen eggs to make devilled eggs for a party she and her husband were going to that night. Only that morning she realized she had given me the wrong box and tried to apologize for the mistake. I was so mad I hung up on her and didn't answer my phone when it rang several times that day. Do you think I should try for eggs again or stick to the super market? Signed: Eggless. Dear Eggless, -1 think you will be lucky if you still have your friend. What you did was petty and when your friend explained the mistake you JILL-OF-ALL-TRADES Will do any honest work. Pay according to job offered or will barter NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL Phone: 856-5645 should have taken it in good part and been a sport about it. Phone her immediately and apologize for your behavior, and if you can't do that then shop at the super market. Dear Annabelle, The other day out in my backyard I was clearing up some branches and trash when I heard a strange sound coming from the back of my property. Of course I investigated and came across about a dozen little men dressed in green suits, dancing around a giant toadstool. They had their arms linked and were singing what sounded to me like a sea shanty. Their singing was lousy and after listening to them for a few minutes I told them to beat it or I would take after them with my weed-eater. They fled in terror and I haven't seen them since. Honestly, some people's kidsl Signed: Not a drinking man, I swear. Dear Not a, Well, maybe you should take it up again. What' do you think? PNE offers visitors "Doubly fair" value VANCOUVER - The Pacific National Exhibition and Overwaitea/Save-On-Foods are extending to visitors a spectacular bonus offer on admission to the fair. Throughout the fair $2. weekday discount coupons, applicable to regular adult, youth and senior admissions are available with a $50. grocery purchase at any Overwaitea/Save-On-Foods supermarket in the province.

Last year after the course, one local pastor wrote, "I took this course wondering if I should give up my precious hours for something I knew a lot about. Well, after going through (it), I wondered why the whole .Christian community was not taking this course...I met people who shared their stories, cried and laughed with them, and all of us were moved to greater understanding and compassion."

Three-time champion at dairy show VANCOUVER - As the Pacific National Exhibition's feature dairy breed, the Ayrshires drew their largest numbers in years but the results were the same. For the third year in a row, Anderlini's Liberator's Libby, shown by Bellayre Ayrshires of Langley, was named the show's grand champion, Aug. 23- Judge Jean Marie Roe, a well- known Quebec Ayrshire breeder, looked at over 60 animals~Defore selecting Libby, now an outstanding five-year-old, as his senior and grand champion. Libby cleaned up in the competition, also winning the Ayrshire total performance championship (which combines milk production and show standings) and .being cited for having the best udder in the show. In another repeat from last year, the reserve senior and reserve grand championships were awarded to Bellayre's top four-year-old, Bartonleigh JadeJa Brittany ET. The Anderlini family also placed first in the calf class, and second in both the senior yearling and mature cow classes, making them the Ayrshire breed's premier exhibitor. Sandy Nordman of Langley's Craigentinney Farms, a perennial -PNE exhibitor, received the junior championship for her outstanding junior yearling Linden Lea Jade's Hilda. Craigentinney also won the mature cow class with Fishers Dairy CJ Edith, cited for having the second best udder in the show, and placed second in the four-year-old and five-year- old classes. The day before judging' the Jerseys, McNeil had his hands full judging the Holstein breed, the biggest bred show with a total of 79 animals in the ring. As he has many times- in the past, Bruno Giacomazzi on Brondell Holsteins in Aldergrove, was named the show's premier breeder and exhibitor, after capturing the reserve junior, senior and grand championship rosettes. His outstanding showstring was led by Knightholm Starbuck Prism, a tall three-year-old cow named the senior and grand champion. Prism was also cited for best udder among Holsteins. Named reserve junior champion was Cherwood C 'Val Neomi, a beautiful summer yearling which has been doing very well on the show circuit this year. Brondell also won the senior calf, senior yearling, senior two-year-old and four-year-old classes and placed second in the mature cow class. It was no surprise that Giacomazzi also won the breeder's herd class. The dairyshow also included a small but well-contested Guernsey show judged by Mark Van Mersbergen of Washington. The awards were split among all three breeders in the show with the White family of Whitegrove farms in Matsqui named the premier breeder and exhibitor. Oldest boat preserved HULL, England - Researchers are about to begin a seven-year project to preserve Britain's oldest sea-going vessel, a 41-foot long dugout canoe dating from the Iron Age.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR. SEPTEMBER 2. 1998 21 Modest improvement OTTAWA - Housing starts recovered 5-5 percent to 153,500 units seasonally adjusted at an annual rate during the second quarter of 1993, reported Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

"Durjng the April-June period, starts activity managed a partial in housing starts recovery from a harsh winter and benefited from lower interest rates, which helped to keep most markets affordable.

Canada's own Scott Goodyear took pole position, leading for 13 laps, only to be ousted by fellow Canuck Paul Tracey.

Regular collection for other days will not be changed and regular Monday collection will resume the following week. J. P. Anderson P. Eng. Director of Engineering By JENNIFER TURCOTTE VANCOUVER - Thinking of getting into the Indy Car race game? The cost of starting your team and keeping it going follows:' Race car: A 'rolling chassis* in 1992 starts at $360,000. Three manufacturers Lola, Galmer and Penske Cars are England based. A fourth, Truesports, builds its own. chassis exclusively from American parts in Hilliard, Ohio. A 'rolling chassis' is a race car with a suspension and steering system but without an engine. Engine: Plan $40,000 to $130,000 per engine with six to 10 engines per race car. Indy Car engines must be rebuilt every 500 to 600 miles at an average cost of $18,000 to $35,000 per rebuild. At each race, one engine is needed for practice and qualifying and one to race with in addition to at least two or three race-ready spares should weekend problems be encountered. Wheels: The 'rolling chasis' comes with four wheels. For the season, plan to buy at least a dozen more sets of wheels (48) at about $2,200 to $2,800 per wheel. Tires: Competition at short oval and road course races carries a tire limit of 28 tires per event, according to IndyCar rules, while 44 are allowed for 500-mile events. At a cost of $1,000 per set, plan accordingly. Spare parts: During the season, allow for $500,000 worth of disposable parts in addition to $65,000 to $80,000 for gearbox parts. Team costs: In planning a budget, teams must be sure to allow for salaries for drivers, engineers, fabricators, crew, office employees, truck drivers, costs of travel, lodging, rental cars and per diem (food allowance) not only for racing events but also for a year-round testing and development program. Fuel: An Indy Car must average 1.8 miles per gallon of methanol or better. Valvoline, which manufactures the racing fuel, typically dispenses 7,500 gallons for short ovals and road courses and 22,000 to 25,000 gallons for 500-milers except for Indianapolis where teams use 38,000 to 40,000 gallons during the month-long competition. In total, 380,000 to 400,000 gallons of methanol are used by Indy Car series teams in a given season. In the age of high-tech Indy Cars, electronic fuel management systems are becoming a must. Add $20,000 to $80,000 depending on function and features. Transporter: Transporting the race car and related.equipment to all events as well as testing sessions must be factored into team financial planning. Race car transporters are rolling machine shops complete with a wide inventory of spare parts as outlined above. Teams budget $250,000 to $500,000 for a correctly equipped transporter. Total- The above fixtures represent what it takes to go racing for a season with no guarantees. But to be competitive, it is necessary to allow plenty of testing and development which will have an impact on budget areas such as cars, engines, wheels and tires, and team costs. Putting that in perspective, many top flight Indy Car operations spend $1.5- million to more than $10-million annually. Canada youth soccer team gets thrashed ALDERGROVE - Our national under-17 soccer team got skunked in Tokyo in international competition, but everyone, including Aldergrove team member Dennis Peeman .has some great memories of a fabulous time. Peeman returned to Aldergrove on Sunday night after the Canada team was rousted by Argentina's 5-0 victory, Australia's 5-0 repeat, and a decimating 10-0 score by Nigeria.

SEPTEMBER 2. 1993 PLAN takes aim at town hall with slate of five newcomers 27 From front... with the current municipal government. The PLAN party ~ an acronym for Protect Langley Aldergrove Now â came about as mayoralty candidate Brian Westwood said to the gathering, because they all met at municipal council where they found that their common foe was the council and bureaucracy at municipal hall. They have chosen to vent their outrage by forming a slate to topple the powers that be. South Langley resident Brian Westwood, a businessman and former Langley School Board chair, has spoken against a number of issues at council, but the one that galled him most was the ongoing development proposal of a mined-out gravel pit in his neighborhood. In his speech Tuesday, he also cited the case of a man who was turned down on his request for a new $500,000 ice arena here: "He was told there's no money, but that same day (council) approved a $56-million works yard, a place to park trucks? He appeared at council that night and he was â¢ mad." Westwood also slagged council for only giving lip service but not financially backing the anti-gas drilling group, Friends of the Fraser Valley. A quorum of twenty-five percent of membership nominated the candidates by acclamation, and besides Westwood, include Aldergrove accountant Peter Buurman, south Langley businessperson Sandra Hulbert, Langley resident (and Vancouver teacher) Georg Tylor, and Aldergrove businessman Jim Szekeres. Buurman took issue with council's financial strategies: "Things are being done that don't make any sense and don't benefit the people." The "tenacious" Hulbert has 20 AUTOMOTIVE 2080 Trucks I960 GMC shortbox, side step, half ton truck, roll bar, 350 eng., $2,200. obo.

She knocked council for allowing, "special developers to go to the hall and get special consideration. Also council is not enforcing their bylaws; some people get away with a lot and others get chased all over the place." Szekeres, a retired Vancouver city police officer who has lived here for nine years and has two businesses in the mall, says he likes Aldergrove the way It is, except that it needs "a bit more industry." However, he said it's becoming "unpleasant" because not enough is being done to curtail the emerging criminal elements before it "goes out of .'control." Tylor, of Brookswood decried the "direction the current municipal council is misleading us. Our township needs knowledge and leadership in a fundamental financial decisionmaking way; we need competent management of our municipal revenues." Westwood said, "We all met at municipal council when we were there asking them to right some wrongs, asking them to listen to what the. community wanted, asking them not to impose something on us that we didn't want. They (council) don't listen and they don't have the vision." Muriel Arnason, an incumbent independent councilor, said she was there to observe, and "listen," but she has chosen to remain independent. The feisty champion of freedom of information said her sympathies were with many of the complaints she heard that night. Her battle to be allowed to attend any municipal meetings she chose was not heard favorably by councilors at the council meeting the previous night. "This is the only jurisdiction where that right is not extended to all municipal councilors," she said. 2090 Vans 19871 ton 14 ft. van, auto. A-one, $5,800.
