warn mmm HE'S IN DISTINCTIVE COMPANY legislative Library Parliament Bide, Victoria, B.C. Jan 79 LANGLEY — A writ has been .issued in the supreme court naming Fraser Valley West MP Bob Wenman and a host of other well-known Canadian individuals and firms as co-defendants in a libel action. The plaintiffs are poets Bill Bissett and Bertrand Lachance. Along with Wenman, the two controversial poets as well as Wenman is being sued by poets their publishers and printers Talon Books and Blcwointment Press, are suing five other members of parliament, radio hotliner Ed Murphy- and radio station CJOR, the Toronto Globe and Mail, the Toronto Sun, and Eatons and Woodwards stores. They are seeking punitive damages for alleged libel and for having been subjected to public scandal and damage to their reputation. Wenman, who says he still finds Bissett's and Lachance's poetry "repulsive to a large portion", is being sued along with the Toronto Globe and Mail for an article in that, newspaper published on December 3, 1977. Murphy, the crusading publisher of a best-selling book; 'A Legacy of Spending', is being sued for reproducing some of the more raunchy poems, along with his own comments, in this book; Eatons and Woodwards for distributing it. The remainder of the defendants are being sued for remarks made in newspaper interviews in the two Toronto papers. The Aldergrove Star, in its December 21, 1977 issue printed a sampler of Bissett's poetry, but because of the nature of same had to substitute most of the words with dot-dots. The poets' efforts were largely subsidized by the Canadian public through Canada Council grants.

Following the presentation of an 1,100 signature petition to roll back taxes, an Aldergrove developer presented a brief of his own. Howard Davis, a real estate development executive with Springfield Developments, read a six-page statement also including exerpts from the 1978 municipal budget to council. Davis attacked "the obscene profits" made by land speculators and pointed out to council that this combined with low taxation of idle but development-ripe land were anomalies which could be corrected by a council interested in true tax reform. He also pleaded for a review of assessments in newer developments in Aldergrove. "Since 1973 property tax collections have sky rocketed from S4.S million to over $12 million," he said. The budget of the township has increased over 20 percent In 1978 over 1977. In 1973, Langley had a population of 35,000. In 1978 the population was slightly over 38,000 — a net increase of about eight percent in five years. "Why should spending have increased about 300 percent when population increased only about eight percent? It would be difficult if not impossible to demonstrate that the quality of life in Langley has increased anywhere near the percentage increase in cost to tax payers." Explosive growth, he said, had occurred in - expenditures for police and fire protection, the planning and building regulatory activities of the township, and recreational and cultural activities. Davis said that before Springfield begal selling their homes nine months ago they contacted municipal officials to get a rough idea of how much taxes would be. They were told in the neighborhood of $650 to $700. But when the tax notices. arrived they showed taxes due of close to $900 for three bedroom homes on small 30 by 100 feet lots. "We were shocked," Davis said. The local developer urged council restraint and "adequate public disclosure of spending increases before the public has to foot the bill instead of after." "From a development company's point of view, wc find the utility user rate and frontage assessment for urban services profoundly inadequate and urge that the assessment procedure be changed." Davis said that since the capital cost of urban services Is defrayed by impost fees on a per unit basis when connecting to municipal water, sewer and storm drainage systems, he would like to know "How many times do these services have to be paid for? Imposts are $1,600. The impost costs have to be passed onto the home purchaser thereby increasing their assessed value and therefore tax bill?" It Is taxation upon taxation upon taxation, he said. "Most objectable is the windfall benefit to the property owners of acreages within urban growth areas which have teen fully serviced," he said. "Because the taxpayers and the administration of this municipality have chosen to create urban growth areas spending millions of dollars in capital Improvements, many land owners In Aldergrove and Northwest Langley have had a windfall increase in equity because of taxpayer supported services. In the last three years since municipal services have been extended in Aldergrove, land owners with acreages have tripled their land value and yet their frontage tax remains the same as the person buying a Springfield Village lot with a 30 foot frontage. Why should a person with one eighth of an acre pay the same service frontage charge as a person with 10 acres of frontage? A property (then) worth $100,000 in Aldergrove is now worth $300,000 because the taxpayers gave them frontage — a veritable goldmine, yet people complain about the poor land owner." The present formula forces people of moderate means in modest housing to support the windfall profits of the land rich, he said. "If a person who has increased his equity three times through rczoning and capital improvements borne by all taxpayers cannot afford to pay for an equitable frontage levy, then he should get off his land." Davis said many residents of subdivisions in this area have been hit with tax increases of over IS to 20 percent in this last year 'Developer' page 3 eluding this years results, are on the inside pages of this week's Star. -Rick Mcllwaln Photo Flyer dies in golf course crash Ward makes four regional staff on road ALDERGROVE — Acting secretary-treasurer at the ■ Central Fraser Valley regional board offices here is Paul Moritz, the board's chief planner. Moritz took the temporary responsibility after the announced resignation of full time secretary-treasurer Barry Ward. Ward has left his job to take over an accounting position with B.C. Hydro. Ward is the fourth member of the district staff to vacate the offices in recent times. Two of the four have left for "periods of extended travel" while another, planner Janice Richmond, resigned to take other employment. FORT LANGLEY - Alfred Kir- cher, 43, of 10835 - 144 Street in Surrey, died Saturday when his bi-plane crashed at Fort langley golf and country club. The plane was a replica of a Fokker D-7, an old dog fight dueler that used to carve up the skies over Germany. Witnesses on the golf course said the plane seemed to experience mechanical troubles before the crash. Kircher apparently tried to make a crash landing on the club's fairways but the plane coughed and nose dived into the turf. The department of transport is carrying out an investigation into the cause of the single scat aircraft mishap. None of the golfers on the course were injured in the accident. Tynehead backers outraged over GVRD vote Members of the Tynehead Zoological Society are urging a public outcry to force the Greater Vancouver regional district board into backing a game farm proposition in Surrey's Tynehead area. The board had previously earmarked 640 acres of expropiated parkland in the area for development into a game farm, since that announcement, however, various groups and individuals have criticized the proposal. Among the outspoken critics was Hugh Oakes, operator of the Vancouver Game Farm in Aldergrove. Oakes claims that tax money should not be used to set up a lavish zoo in competition with his own private enterprise. The Tynehead proposal was defeated at a GVRD board meeting last Wednesday night, by a single vote. After the meeting, long faced members of the society said they could not allow the project to die on the weight of one vote. Members were cxpccially outraged over the fact that the vote last week reversed a basic policy of endorsation that the board has held toward the zoo for about five years. Another controversial side to the game farm hassle Involves the Tynhcad land itself. It look more than two years to convince landowners In the Tynehead area to sell their land to the district for a zoo, and at least 18 former residents in the area were reluctant to move away. The GVRD's expropriation of 640 acres was ultimately supported by many owners purely on the grounds that the land would be used to provide a magnificent game farm for lower malnlandcrs. After Wednesday's vote, at Stephens to address rallying rebels BROOKSWOOD - A rally expected to draw thousands of Langley residents to the civic centre here tonight will feature a number of tax-reform speakers, notable a- mong whom will be Oak Bay MLA, Vic Stephens, the lone Progressive-Conservative in the provincial legislature. The rally will begin at 8 o'clock tonight. Stephens, a lawyer by profession, has promised to take on the cause of British Columbia property owners who feci that they are slowly but surely being taxed out of their homes and off their land. Born in 1931 in Calgary, Stephens graduated with a degree in commerce from the University of Alberta, and subsequent degrees in economics and law from UBC. He practised law Rescue attempt fails, youth drowns ALDERGROVE.— A fifteen year old youth died last Wednesday at Aldergrove Lake regional park. He was the lake's first drowning victim since the man-made lake was upgraded for safety and health reasons. No lifeguard is provided at the lake and swimming is at the visitors own risk. William Peter Elias, of 2318 Imperial in Clearbrook, drowned in about six feet of water, SO feet from the shoreline. An RCMP diver from Langley detachment recovered the body from the lake at about 9 p.m., three hours after the drowning. Victor John McKay, also 15, was with Elias at the time of the mishap and tried without success to raise his companion from the water. McKay lives at 31808 old Yale in Clearbrook. An autopsy was scheduled to confirm the cause of death. in Courtenay for 11 years before opening Canada's first legal clinic designed to provide low cost services in 1976 and on March 20 this year was elected to the provincial legislature. Stephens was censored by the B.C. Bar Association two years ago when it was claimed that he had used 'unethical' procedures by 'advertising' in B.C. newspapers. He was reprimanded at the time in spite of the fact that he had not taken out paid advertisements, but merely let himself be interviewed by reporters. Shortly after his election to the legislative assembly he intro- 'duced a private membcrs's bill which would see lawyers' advertising legalized. From 1973 to 76 Stephens was appointed by the British government as a native advocate in the New Hebrides. He is an avid sportsman, having won the U.S. national championship in 800- metre run for males over 40; he boats and fishes. The Progressive Conservative caucus has brought forth 11. platform planks for the next provincial election, including the immediate abolition of the five percent B.C. sales tax. and the removal of school taxes from property. A Conservative government would also, says Stephens, save up to 10 percent of provincial tax monies by abolishing "programs not needed" and act as a catalyst to industrial growth by its severe tax cutting measures. Langley tax rebels win first victory at city hall By RUDY LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE - Was it success or was it failure? It is hard to say. But when the first confrontation between disgruntled Langley taxpayers and elected officials had run its course, a casual observer was left with die distinct impression that this encounter of the first kind was an exploratory mission rather than an open skirmish. They came from every corner of the municipality. Aldergrove, Fort Langley, Willoughby, Mil- ner, Brookswood and Fernridge. Otter, Glen Valley, Murrayville and Northwest Langley were represented. And for the better part of a Monday afternoon they remained 'the silent majority' while their spokesman. Langley realtor Mike Robson, and the seven-man municipal council sought for the weak spots in their respective opponents. Either side was already well aware of their adversary's fortified strength. One side blamed free-spending government attitudes, land speculators and a swelling bureaucracy for taxes which have been rising at a rate far surpassing AIB guidelines in recent years, while the other side put the blame on school board and provincial go* vernment. Perennial mayoralty candidate George Rasmussen blamed Mayor George Dricdiger and his predecessor, George Preston. Robson was well prepared, presenting an impressive collection of facts and figures culled from the very government departments under attack, municipal hall and the provincial assessment authority and showing how "tax monies are being spent at an alarming rate." He pointed out how, according to the district's financial statements, expenditures on the local level increased 10.26 percent per capita in the 1975-76 financial year; the following year the figure, was 21.53 percent per capita, and ■ for 1977-78-22.01 percent. On behalf of the more than 1.100 local taxpayers who have called for restraint in public spending, fiobson told councilors that he came to them because it seemed a more direct approach first of all to contact the level of government that was most readily available, and asked that a number of austerity measures be introduced to a situation which "adversely affects people." Robson said he was aware of the fact that council did not have direct control over school board spending, but added that they could still direct the local board "if not cramping their style." This was being done in other districts in the province, he said. Mayor George Dricdiger. putting the blame for the high taxes four-square on the provincial government and to a lesser degree the local school board, retaliated that the only fields where the municipality could save on its $112-million budget would be in cutting police and fire protection and sidewalk construe- tion. But if that was what Langley taxpayers wanted, so be it, he added. "First of all we can lay off half, of the police force," he stated, copying the style of the original detractors of the California Proposition 13 movement. "What we are suggesting," replied Robson, "is that an annual budget increase in excess of 22 percent is too much. Certainly far in excess of the AIB guidelines." "Why arc you singling us out?" questioned Aid. Elford Nundal, "last year the provincial taxes went up from 32 to 46 percent, and you got an increase ,in salary, did you not?" That is neither here nor there, replied Robson. "1 have behind me a fairly significant group, and I hope we can work together (with you)." Public works Chairman Aid. Bill Blair admitted that the delegation was "well presented", but blamed increased taxation on such as recreation. "We now have a recreation budget of close to $1 .million, and it worries me," he said. As far as the district's current road building program was concerned, Blair said, his own department's budget would go down as soon as it was completed. "The roads arc being engineered now to last for 25 years," he added. Finance chairman Aid. Art Brooks defended his department by explaining that when the changes in assessment procedures came following the provincial government's adoptation of the McMath report, Langley council had chosen the first of four possible options in applying assessment figures and for two reasons. "If wc had chosen option B we would have had a dual tax roll," he said. "Option C would have meant the retention of the status quo, and option D the immediate introduction of the 100 pcrccnt-of-markct-value concept." Option A, which Langley 'Rebels' page 2 least one former londowncr from the Tynehead area stated that she wanted to get her land back from the government, as they have changed courses with regard to land use. Meanwhile, one society official at the Wednesday night meeting was quoted as saying that the Tynehead group might begin considering the outright purchase of the Vancouver Game Farm in Aldergrove. Until now, Tynehead officials have maintained that they could not justify the purchase of Oakes entire operation, opting instead to buy some of his stock and equipment. Another meeting of the GVRD board is scheduled for this Wednesday evening. It is not known whether the zoo society will appeal to the board for another vote on the matter.

(Farm properties are only slightly taxed under this option). This is basically the same as option B, only introduced over a three-year period rather than immediately. Brooks said the second reason for Langley's choice was that they found it more equitable in this particular community which as yet is primarily residential and farm-oriented. Option D. which was chosen by some lower mainland municipalities, offers the greatest relief for commercial and industrial establishments since all properties are taxed using the same formula. The provincial government left it up to the individual municipalities to chose which way they wanted logo. Brooks admitted that there was "a wide discrepancy" between some assessments, but maintained his stance that under the circumstances option A was the most equitable for Langley. Driediger blamed Victoria. "They are the ones who set your assessment," he said, "and they are also the ones setting the basic school mill rate." (The provincial government has set this basic rate throughout the province at 42, wilh the remainder being left to the local board's discretion. Victoria has also taken away a large portion of the educational financing in spite of pre-election promises by Bill Bennett to the effect that they would take over all. and have shifted the money to a much-touted provincial- municipal finance sharing program). Government accused of gerrymandering VICTORIA — Opposition mem- . bcrs of the provincial legislature have attacked the redistribution of the electoral boundaries as a callous effort of the Social Credit party to guarantee its re-election. '.'The view of the government is . that the people will fall for this crude re-drawing of the electoral boundaries," commented opposition leader Dave Barrett. "The way redistribution was handled shows panic, desperation and bad judgment by the Socreds. 1 am hopeful the public will show this government that their democratic rights and their franchise cannot be treated with such contempt." The redistribution bill was introduced in the legislature only 24 hours after the tabling of the interim report of Judge Lawrence S. Eckardt, a defeated Social Credit candidate who was named a one-man royal commission to I look into electoral reform. ' The bill was sponsored by provincial secretary Grace McCarthy who, as MLA for Vancouver-Little Mountain, appeared to have much to gain by the recommendations of the report which carefully added to her riding Social Credit voting polls from the Shaugncssy district -while delecting from it NDP-vot- ing polls in Vancouver's south slope district, Barrett said. New Democratic Party members unanimously condemned the redistriction, which will increase the number of scats in the house from 55 to 57, as "gerrymandering." In what was described as the most errant case of trying to fix the election results, three seats now held by New Democrats were simply abolished. These included the two-member riding of Van- couvcr-Burrard. held by Rosemary Brown and Norman Levi, and the riding of Revclsloke-Slo- can held by Bill King. ' 'Justification for abolishing Re- velstoke-Slocan was that the seat, with 10,483 registered voters, :wijs too small. However, Eckardt did not do away wilh the riding of Atiin, held by Social Credit, which has 3.158 regcslcred vo- ^ters. > Jn another case of alleged political manipulation, NDP-vo- ting polls in the Victoria West district were removed from Es- '.'quimalt riding and NDP-voting polls in Saanich were removed from Saanich and the Islands riding in an apparent effort to protect the interests of Social Credit MLAs in those two ridings. There was little consistency in the redistribution measures, opposition critics pointed out. For eijamplc. the suburban riding of Delta, now held by Social Credit, was made a two-member riding apparently in an effort to insure the election of two Socreds because of the high concentration of Social Credit votes in that riding, while another suburban jiding, Coquitlam. was divided -.into two one-member ridings, apparently because it went Social ;,Crcdit by only a few votes in the last election and the careful division of the riding would 'guarantee the election of at least ■one Social Credit member in the ■next election, Barrett said.

For example, in the previously under-represented city of Vancouver, the number of scats was actually cut from 12 to 10. Critics noted that Eckardt was appointed to his one-man commission on January 12, this year, and announced immediately that he was leaving on a month-long vacation outside the province. Premier Bill Bennett defended the holiday in a report in the Victoria Daily Colonist on January 19 because "before the commissioner left on holiday, the preliminary work was already in progress and would continue until Eckardt's return from vacation." When the report was suddenly tabled in the house at 2 p.m. June 20. the Queen's Printer did not have sufficient time to provide all members of the house with a copy and only one opy was provided to the entire 18-memucr NDP caucus. Nonetheless within 24 hours the government was prcsumcly able to read, digest and adopt the recommendations and have it drafted into legislation and printed in time for all members to receive a copy by 2 p.m. the next dav. Dricdiger said the schools could properly be used 12 months a year on a swing-shift basis, which would eliminate the need for more and more and bigger and bigger schools. "I don't find the kids (today) any smarter when coming out of the schools than they were 10 years ago," he said. In the I960's shifts were a widely accepted system in B.C. schools. "Today they just tell us: This is our budget...tack that to your taxes," he said. Municipal government only spends 42 cents out of each tax dollar, he pointed out. Robson said he did not envy the local politicians, but since it was their choice and their pre-election promise to control municipal expenditures and hold down taxes, he expected them to live up to this promise. Nundal said his own property taxes had gone up drastically this year, but admitted that "for 13 years 1 was getting a free ride" while old tax assessments were frozen by the W.A.C. Bennett and subsequent Dave Barrett governmenls at the same time as new assessments were made at current market values. "My taxes went up 27 percent," added Aid. Jock Lindsay. "Some went up, some down, and in large sums. Wc cut the taxes, but the school board boosted theirs." "That's right, pass the buck," came the cry from the large audience. Aid. Jim Lee. recreation committee chairman, said he welcomed the presentation. "It is a first positive step," he said, adding, however, that the municipality cannot offer any reduction in taxes. And there are always people who want more government services, he added. "You are always going to hear from those groups of people who want more," agreed Robson, then shifting his attack to the recent expansion of the municipal hall with a corresponding increase in staff. "1 am not going to hazard any guesses at how many (staff) we have added in the last three to four years," said Blair when this question was raised. An Aldergrove man in the tightly-packed visitors gallery, Teddic Hansen, told council that his own taxes on a small subdivision home in the urban area had risen 100 percent since 1974, and, he added, council could not use the excuse of services provided in Aldergrove since it was all paid for by impost fees and additional levies. - "My own cheque has shrunk, not doubled, during the same period," Hansen said. "And we arc fast coming to the point where people will have to sell out and go live like Grizzly Adams." A lot of five-year old homes are up for sale today, he said, simply because people can't afford to renew their five-year mortgages as they come due. "They haven't even got enough money to pay the lawyer's fees," he stated. "If taxpayers are serious that we should start cutting, then we will start cutting," said Driediger. "But then they better not scream. Now we have one half saying: 'hey, we want all that' and the other half screaming for us to cut down." Driediger later told The Star, that the prospects for a multimillion-dollar aquatics centre money referendum to carry this fall, were probably slim indeed. Driediger and his council were last year forced to agree to bringing the referendum to the people in November of 1978 as a joint project with Langley city. They were reluctant, but a pressure group of aquatics centre proponents forced the issue, and the referendum is now being prepared at a cost of $50,000. "But if it doesn't pass with the voter, then that's the end of that," said Dricdiger.

Some people owning vacant properties have had their taxes decreased at the same time between 20 and 50 percent, he said. "This year 7,000 parcels were taxed at a net decrease over last year, while 13,450 residential tax bills increased along, with 562 businesses and 23 industries. Over 2,000 farms in the township paid 20 to 50 percent less taxes and are also specifically exempt from school' taxes even though farm children attend school. "We have been advised that residential property owners are paying 15 to 30 percent higher taxes this year. Businesses and industries pay 15 to 30 percent higher taxes and in some few cases in Northwest Langley hundreds of percentage increases. Davis also criticized the method whereby people have the opportunity (o appeal their assessments, but not receive their actual tax bills until long past appeals deadline. To most people, he said, the assessment figures mean little or nothing. "Taxpayers arc (moreover) unable to untangle the morass of high finance and understand the complex procedures whereby council covers its spending plans. When the tax bill comes it's too late. No appeals, just complaints. Police protection in Langley Ihis year costs $1,365,898, or 100 percent more than was the cost in 1976, he said. "We wish to ask the council members why? The RCMP have offered no effective (vandalism) preventative assistance to us on a $7-million project under construction for one year. There appears to be no decrease in the crime rate in proportion to increased spending. Why the spending? Cost of municipal administration has risen 53 percent in the same two year period, he pointed out. "Why have the costs of managing the financial matters for the township in'crcased by 30 percent with the addition of a computer and yet no increase in efficiency that can be measured in dollar savings. Why does the activities of the planning department now cost 54 percent higher when building activity has not increased...? School population has increased eight percent, inflation has increased 17 percent and general population has increased four percent." Davis concluded by saying that there is something fundamentally wrong with the political insensiti- vily. "Springfield Village homeowners are average working people with incomes between $13,000 and $20,000 per year. These people have children and the housewives have had to bear up to 40 percent increases in food prices since 1976. Hundreds of dollars of increased property taxes can severely dislocate a family's budget. Most working people can expect only a six to eight percent increase in wages due to inflation." Four points of corrective measures were suggested by the developer: • Adjustment to the way frontage rates are being calculated. • More equitable taxation with a shift of the burden towards "those large land owners who can afford it". • Greater possibility for public input into budget procedures, and • "That council resist the political temptation to fund every good cause which in fact will not improve the quality of life but only increase the tax burden." "If it is the general feeling that we should cut costs, then we'll cut costs," was Mayor George Drie- diger's response to the brief. "But it will mean less services. A meeting between Davis and council's finance committee chairman, Aid. Art Brooks, was slated for a future date. "1 would really like to get together with you," Brooks said. Can politicians be altruistic? Weather report. By PATRICK MICHIEL It has been often debated in scientific circles whether or not altruism exists in nature...altruism is unselfish interest in Ihe welfare of others. One could expand this concept somewhat and ask the question what is the relationship between altruism and government (considering government to be representatives of the people)? It would appear that altruism is not a characteristic of large or small governments...no mailer what the irate taxpayers of California think. That is, government "give aways" such as welfare and unemployment insurance are not "unselfish interest in the nature of olhers." This is because the general populace and their elected representatives gel something in return for the "give away", therefore the inter- est shown by them is noi altruistic. Welfare is no! altruistic for il placates the recipients; accordingly taxpayers providing the taxes for welfare funds receive something in return. They receive security from having their door broken down and their possessions appropriated directly. — Dawson Creek News By NORM GREEN 978 Temperatures Precip Dale High Low June 19 22.7'C 6.8-C 20 24.3 7.2 21 21.9 9.3 22 19.4 12.1 23 21.0 9.3 24 185 7.7 25 167 11.2 0.5 Normals tor Ihe period: High 20.9*.

Not so,- however, In Langley. Monday afternoon a large delegation, backed by more than 1,100 petitioners, made their first foray Into enemy territory as they attacked local politicians for their "spendthrift" ways and demanded an end to escalating expenditures and property taxation which has been ballooning by more than 22 percent per capita in a single year. They made it plain to township councilors that no longer are they going to accept this free-wheeling style of spending and taxation. Spurring it all, of course, was California's Jarvis-Gann Amendment, the now famous Propostitlon 13, which won by a landslide in a June 6 referendum. Local politicians have become used to legitimate as well as crackpot protestors, they have developed mental callouses to the handling of disgruntled citizens, but this time they sense that it is different. For one thing, the rebels won in California, didn't they? And California is not that far away. Besides, there is a small point of a handful of local citizens being able to collect 1,100 signatures to a tax-reform demand within the short span of two weeks. If we are not misjudging the situation, our politicians now have only one hope, that it'll all go away. But if it doesn't, and they know full well that It isn't likely to, well, then it will demand an Immediate change In their own policies. And politicians, being what they are, aim to please. An up and coming polititian The one-man Progressive Conservative caucus in British Columbia, MLA Vic Stephens, has been accused of attempting to make political hay out of the happenings in California. Either than, or being some sort of a nut. We think he is neither. It will take a local Howard Jarvis to organize much-abused taxpayers in British Columbia, and if Mr. Stephens wants the job that's fine with us. A nut? Not very likely. Listen to what the lone Conservative had to say in a recent letter lo the editor of the Victoria Colonist: "The present provincial government Is the heaviest taxing government in the history of British Columbia. It Is spending one billion dollars every three months. "The previous (NDP) government, no piker at spending, ' was disposing of one billion of our tax dollars every four months? Where does It stop?" Indeed, where does it stop? But Mr. Stephens continues: "We believe that politicians and bureaucrats, being what they are, will never stop until the public outcry is loud enough to make them listen." And, he adds, "Politicians spend more and more money to buy votes and bureaucrats spend more to Justify their existence and secure their position." A lunatic? No, we believe Vic Stephens is a man to be reckoned with In the not too distant future. Education doldrums Education, the story goes, Is the process of changing blissful ignorance Into some other kind of ignorance. And, in recent years, a surprisingly great amount of ignorance has been apparent in the wild kingdom of education. Education has traditionally been an elitist concept: either the wealthiest or the most intellectually adept went on to the highest levels of education. The rest of the people went out into the world where they learned a lot more than most universities could explain anyway. But our society doesn't have much time for tradition. So, less than two decades ago, the doors of academia 'were thrown open to everyone who could achieve very minimal standards of academic accomplishment. Almost overnight, the university degree, which had represented a reasonably meaningful achievement, became the hula hoops of our time: everyone has one but no one Is really sure why. Recently, the true value of a university degree has been reflected in astonishingly high unemployment rates for post-secondary graduates. If we can believe everything we read (and there are days when it would be nice to be able to believe even some of what we read), most university grads never to find suitable work. With the exception of the natural sciences and, perhaps, a few of the applied social sciences such as economics and anthropology, one never did learn all that much in university that would be directly applicable to the working world. However, one learned something more important: mental discipline (which translates as the ability to learn and to think). A university degree was Important because of what It signified about one's mental abilities. Today, the universities have slashed their standards In a desperate elforl to keep enrolments high. Students are graduating from university without the least concept of how to structure a paragraph or handle simple arithmetic. It has reached a point where a contemporary B.A. carries no more weigh! than high school graduation of two decades ago. If it was merely a matter of students wasting an extra three or more years of their lives in the sheltered environs of academia, there would be little cause for concern. Students are people (rumours to the contrary notwithstanding) and deserve the right to determine their own intellectual destiny. However, there is a very real dollar cost for the Canadian taxpayer. The cost of prolonging formal education is never borne by the student personally. Rather, society pays almost the entire shot. And this goes a long way towards explaining Canada's crushing tax bills.

BUCKLEY, JR. Begin with New Jersey, and the triumph pf Jeffrey Bell. The victory of Bell-quiet-spoken, studious, literate, moderate in his rhetoric, emphasizing always the theme of tax reform, the reduction of the public sector-surprised everybody (I am a jubilant exception). In the Washington Post, though Bell shared the front page with California's Jarvis, the editors obviously were caught without even a picture of Bell. What with the coast-to-coast time differential, it was presumably too late to bring in one of those artists who might have sketched his likeness from memory, son-of- Sam style. It is not unfair to say that Washington is thunderstruck. It is as if everyone had awakened to find that the Washington Monument had, overnight, moved three blocks to the right. You may anticipate a corresponding.movement by the Capitol. The prospects for tax reform- by which one does not mean making all taxes higher by elinating such "loopholes" as deductibility of state taxes-arc suddenly brighter. And then move to California. Three weeks ago, roaming about the state, one got the word that, after all, Howard Jarvis's Proposition 13 would be doused by the torrential campaign on it. California is a land of great ingenuity, and it was reflected by the activity of the budget lobby in the land, the public lobby — defined as people paid by tax funds. Such placards as "If Your House Catches Fire, Call Howard Jarvis." The spectacle is of an end to fire fighting, policemen, teachers, sunny weather. The morning after Proposition 13 was enacted, the Superintendent of California schools was on televi- , sion to predict nothing less than a migration from California, i.e. in the direction of barter schools. They had better migrate fast, at the rate at which the tax revolt is coming on us. Where will California's refugees go? New Jersey? Governor Brown, who by the way is through as a presidential candidate: no one, in a competitive market, can survive his tergiversations-is taking his defeat manfully, and indeed the smirks are in full bloom. Before Brown is quite through, they are saying, he will be making public appearances along with Howard Jarvis, in the tradition of the late Senator Humphrey, arm over the shoulder of Governor Lester Maddox, declaring that after all they are both Democrats together. Let us pause for a moment to consider how the syntactically resourceful California governor might put it, while his arm is draped over Jarvis's shoulder: "Howard and 1 have had our differences, but we are both looking after California's taxpay- crs-that means all Californians, rich and poor, black and white, polluter and environmentalist, straight and gay." Ah yes, we see in California the beginning of an ecumenical movement. *** There arc, to be sure, practical matters to be considered. Such shrinkages as must follow Proposition 13 cause pain. The real argument is over the question whether the excretions will be merely excess, or whether the diet will move into body tissue. The prescriptions will require great thought, a skillful redistribution of funds; and some sacrifices. There are inconveniences involved. There will be inconveniences in reducing state activity at a number of levels. The point not to be lost sight of is that: There are corresponding conveniences, to say the least. Suddenly the average household of California will find itself disposing of an extra 500. perhaps 1,000 dollars per year. That money may be spent foolishly (foolishness of all forms is guaranteed by the First Amend ment); but it will also be spend wisely. There will be more dollars not only to buy faster cars and heavier outboard motors: but also to buy more books, support charities, take the spirit-salving vacation, cultivate leisure. The critical point is the affirmation of individual, over public, sovereignty over the fruits of one's own economic activity. What is especially critical is the behavior in the months to come of the well-entrenced unions of educators and municipal employees. They will be facing, statewide, what New York City has been facing municipally. The responsibility is clearly that of the governor .of California and the state legislature to exercise high ingenuity, statecraft, suasion, to do the best that can be done under the circumstances-even as millions upon millions of families, every year, throughout their lives, contend with the basic economic datum: the annual budget. One word of caution. On the whole, plebicitary government is to be avoided. But what has happened is more in the nature of a healthy revolt than a Jacobinical spasm. So, this morning, let the bells ring out, because on this fateful day, the sun rose up from the west. WENMAN REPORT Bob wenman, MP HoThiRG is CWTAIH, except P6ATH tun. t* mtsom wtuf- &!&*¥» tftfE&itr Canada Day is very close. Although it is a nice break from the work routine, 1 hope we all stop to consider the blessings that have befallen us just by being born in or immigrating to this nation. 1 have had the opportunity, as perhaps you have had, to tour other nations. India, Iraq and Saudi Arabia arc exotic and stimulating but just for a visit. Canada may not be everybody's Utopia but it is the best nation on this earth; we have freedoms and opportunities which all envy. On Canada Day we should recommit ourselves, in the words of a great Canadian and former Tory Prime Minister Arthur Mei- ghen, to remain "conscious of our mighty heritage, proud of the Empcrial fountain of our freedom and of the flag that floats above us, worthy of those ideals of British liberty and justice which have sent their light forth and their truth among all races of men." *** I had an interesting exchange with Energy Mines and Resources Minister, Alistair Gillespie last week in the House of Commons. Documents had been leaked from Atomic Energy Canada Ltd. that described a 1976 analysis of the safety of the Bruce Ontario nuclear plant. The analysis indicated that the Bruce reactors should be operated at 65 percent of its rated full reactor power level. Two years later this important report was still not publicly available. I asked Mr. Gillespie if international CANDU purchasers had been notified of the recorded problems with the CANDU's emergency cooling system. The minister chose to avoid the question and instead said that the reports, which led to my questions, were erroneous. The next day the Atomic Energy Control Board admitted that the Bruce nuclear plan't power production had been limited since April 21st, 1977 for the reasons that I mentioned in the House of Commons. A hopeful sign, arising from this mess, is that the Atomic Energy Control Board admitted that it should have told the public about the order to reduce power production. All information about nuclear energy questions should be made available to the public so that they can make informed decisions. Right now even the Minister responsible for atomic energy doesn't seem to have very much information judging from his House of Commons responses. • «* In 1976 the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver economic research organization, wrote a very important little book entitled 'How Much Tax Do You Really Pay'. The purpose of the Fraser Institute's work was to determine how much tax, in all forms, Canadians pay to Federal, Pro- vincial and Municipal governments. It takes a strong stomach to study the conclusions because they are a very unappetizing lot. For example, in 1975 if a prrson had a cash income of $15,000 he or she would pay $383 profits tax, 52,730 income tax, $1,172 sales tax, $423 in liquor, tobacco, amusement and other excise taxes, $432 in auto, fuel and motor vehicle licence taxes, $779 in social security, pension, medical and hospital taxes, $702 in property taxes, $117 in natural resources taxes, $248 in import duties, $109 in 'other taxes. The total? $7,095 leaving, out of that 515,000 cash income, $8905. Taxes should not be considered in isolation because they are only one gear in a perpetual motion economic machine. The average consumer tax index jumped 239 percent in the 1961-1975 period. Compare that figure to the rise over the same time frame of the average total before government income index; 142 percent, or the consumer price index, 85 percent, or the average shelter expenditure index, 128 percent or the average automobile expenditure index, 185 percent, or the average food expenditure index, 66 percent. As the study's authors state, "The fundamental question that we are raising here is whether or not your own personal benefits from the government have in-! creased relative, to the increased price that you are paying for government. Each of us should ask and answer this for ourselves." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The green, green grass of home Editor, The Star, Sir, Our premier tells us on t.v. that the school trustees are responsible for our high school taxes, that they are in control of the spending. Bill Vandcrzalm echoes this statement a day later as his own. However, it is with immense relief, that we living in the Willoughby district see a little tender green sprouting here and there on the future playing field of the Mountain secondary school. The school trustees must also have been delighted. They, in their wisdom, apparently decided to have a green playingfield at all cost. One may truthfully say cost be damned, seems to have been their motto. For two and a half weeks a number of trucks hauled hundreds of loads of soil away. Then drainpipes went in at a cost of $20,000, 1 am told. Next a great many loads of sand got trucked in for days but the water in this location still stayed on top after every rain. By now comes the highlight of careful spending of the taxpayers' money. A few hundred bales of peatmoss were scattered to put a sprinkle here and there. Of course, once the dry weather set in it needed irrigation. But now wc sec a little green coming and will a bit of good luck the kids may have a month when they come back to school, before the rains start. Maintaining this field will always be a major item. But I hasten to congratulate the trustees that they arranged at last for the sewage to go into the new line Dominium Construction is bringing past half a mile away as $30,000 per year just to haul sewage away seems to be a bit of a poor arrangement. One wonders who is responsible for picking this side for the school and how the total cost compares to other schools built. This school by the way depends for fire protection on a well. Ebe Koeppen 7580-202A Street Langley Fed up with dictatorship Editor, The Star, Sir, On June 30, after 23 years as a teacher and as an administrator in the Langley school district, 1 will officially terminate my teaching agreement with the Langley school board and go into voluntary retirement. Because of the educational climate created by the present school board and by some members of the district staff and othes, a climate which has brought about an all-time low in teacher morale in this district, I can no longer generate the enthusiasm necessary to do a competent teaching job. It is with considerable regret that I am retiring because, with the exception of this past unhappy teaching year, 1 have found teaching to be most rewarding, challenging and enjoyable. Memories of the many fine students 1 have had the How's that again, Mr. B who's responsible? Editor, The Star, Sir, Attached is a copy of .a letter which has been sent by BCSTA president David Kandal to premier Bill Bennett: Dear Mr. Bennett, Is there no one in your government responsible for education finance policy? Your letter, declining to meet with me on this subject, suggests that this is the case. I sent you a telegram on June 1 asking for an early meeting with you and the ministers of finance because Dr. McGeer had told school boards that provincial funding for schools is a joint decision, and not his alone. Eleven days late 1 received your reply stating that, "your correspondence has been forwarded to the Honourable Pat McGeer, minister of education, as this matter comes within the jurisdiction of the minister's portfolio". What an unthinking response to send this form letter! Again, Mr. Premier, who is responsible? Earlier this year you passed the education finance hot potato to Dr. McGeer..,then he passed it to you...and now you to him again. Let me tell you that no matter how much you toss it around within cabinet, this is one hot potato this is not going to cool off. The taxpaying citizens of this province won't let it. Nor will I. Your public remarks :Junc 8) concerning the irresponsibility of school boards, erroneous and inflamatory though they were, appeared to herald your entry into the current crisis on education privilege of teaching and of the teachers with whom 1 have associated in my 35 years in this profession will always be treasured. However, 1 am not prepared to sacrifice further my health to enhance the ambitions of those who are now so undem- ocratically ruling this school district. Although 1 will be leaving teaching 1 will not be sitting idly by and doing nothing about education in this district. I am most distressed that the student has become the real victim in the system which has emerged. Perhaps this school board and others might be well advised to adopt the slogan of "accountability" instead of "Back to the Basics". Under such a slogan teachers and principals would not be transferred like pawns in a chess match. Yours sincerely, W.

If this is the case, and your letter to me was a momentary relapse, please come to that meeting we so earnestly desire. Perhaps there, you and your ministers can agree on responsibility for a provincial policy. Perhaps there, you could allay a growing public suspicion that your lack of serious response indicates, at best, only a sporadic interest in the education of our province's children.

If the new Heroin Treatment Act is passed in the legislature, those kinds of things will happen right here in British Columbia. than 7,000 heroin users in B.C., and that heroin use has decreased over the past five years, it still is a problem which warrants the attention of government. The debate is how best to tackle the problem. There arc those who think the answer is increased law enforcement; others support the British system of prescribing heroin through proper medical channels and thereby removing the criminal clement of the heroin supply. The approach the provincial government has chosen is to subject users to compulsory treatment in detention centres. Compulsory treatment has never been successful anywhere in North Am- program is that the authorities do not have to prove, before a judge, that the person actually used heroin; nor do they have to prove he was engaged in any criminal activity. Once he is committed for treatment he can appeal, but if he docs, then the onus is on him to prove himself not in need of treatment. I don't think a democratic society can afford to have laws like this on its books. Over the past year, and during the debate on this act, 1 made an alternative proposal to health minister, Bob McClelland, which I am still hoping he will accept. What I am proposing is that a person should only be subjected to compulsory treatment if he has the proposed program can handle. The sad thing about the system which has existed up to now is that there has not been an adequate effort to treat heroin users while they arc in our jails. If a heroin user is sent to jail as a result of a crime committed to support his habit, then the best method of keeping him away from future crimes is to cure him of this heroin problem before his is released. The health minister has stated that his proposed treatment program will only be able to treat 2,500 users per year and he claims that most of these will come forward voluntarily for treatment. But, consider these statistics: The average number of admissions of heroin users to provincial correctional facilities over the period 1973-1976 was 2,223 admissions per year. During this same period there was an average of 313 heroin-user admissions to a probation program. The proposal I have made to the government is; Instead of sending these heroin users to a jail, they should serve their sentences in treatment centres where their heroin use could be properly treated. The minister could then prove that a compulsory treatment program would work. Instead of putting 313 heroin users per year on regular probation, the government should make it a condition of their probation that they report periodically to a treatment centre to be cured of their heroin use. The minister could then prove that compulsory treatment of outpatients would work, which is another part of his proposal. Then, of course, there are those heroin users the minister claims will come forward voluntarily. The minister can set up his voluntary treatment programs for them. If the government did embark on these three types of treatment, it would have many more than the 2,500 they now think they can treat each year. The justice system is there to protect the rights of all. if the government accepts my proposal, they won't need the Heroin Treatment Act and the erosion of the justice system contained therein.

If you've never taken out a term deposit with any financial institution, this message is for you. Frankly, we know that many people have yet to experience the advantages of a term deposit. For one thing, because you are committing a sum of money for a specific time period, you'll get a higher rate of interest than with a standard savings account. Watch out though ... not all term deposits are alike. First you'll have to consider what term deposit is best for you. There's short terms for less than a year, or so-called long terms which are available for one to five years; the longer the time commitment, the better the interest rate. Some financial institutions will offer you a term deposit (or "guaranteed investment certificate" as they are sometimes called) which are locked in. At Surrey Credit Union, our term deposits are never locked in; in fact, we have "call rates" which will give you reduced yet attractive interest should you have to withdraw your money due to unforeseen circumstances. Most important — you should "shop around" for the best rate. Check with a variety of financial institutions, then contact us. You'll find our rates are very competitive. Our popular one year deposit is a good example — 8%%. Plus we can offer you other term rates, up to 9%. And we won't just write your deposit in a passbook, either. We'll issue a formal certificate which has all the details on your investment. Remember to ask about minimum deposits — ours are about the lowest anywhere; $1,000 for short terms (under one year), $500 for long terms (a year or more). Our lower deposit requirements make it easier to open up a term deposit. Got any more questions? Drop by your nearest branch and we'll fill you in.

Biggest little rodeo wraps up another year LANGLEY — Over 75 young cowboys and cowgirls competed in the 1978 edition of the Little Britches Rodeo, held last weekend at 208 Street in Langley. The annual whoop-up is sponsored by the Langley Riders Club. The first Little Britches Rodeo was held in 1965 and has been growing steadily in popularity and size since then. The 1978 rodeo is the 14th annual running of the event and once again drew young contestants and interested spectators from as far away as the Cariboo arid Washington state. Over sixty businesses in the lower mainland lent some sort of financial support to this year's rodeo, and a very large number of club members donated free labor in organizing and running the competition. One of the highlights of the 1978 Little Britches Rodeo was the awarding of the Troy Gerard memorial trophy for the first time. This trophy, to be given annually, bears the name of one of the youngest competitors ever to enter the rodeo, and it will be awarded every year starting this year to the youngest competitor of the meet. Troy Gerard was three years old when he entered the Little Britches Rodeo in 1976 and was known and well liked by many local cowboys and cowgirls.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1978 Continued from page 6 passed away in September of 1977 leaving a loving family and many friends he had won largely through his interest in western sporting events. The Troy Gerard memorial trophy was donated in perpetuity by the Langley Riders and this year was won by five-year-old Kerry Austin, of Aldergrove. The queen of the Little Britches Rodeo for 1978 was Shannon Leak, 16, a student at Brookswood junior secondary school. Miss Leak was a princess of the rodeo in 1977. All round champion in 1978 was Charlene Bowker of Surrey. Char- lenc took the top honors for the second consecutive year as she also won the buckle in 1977. All round cowboy in this year's rodeo was also an Aldergrove cowboy, Rudie Barillard. Runners up for the two positions were Tanya Jones for the girls and Aldergrovc's Chris Lawrence in Ihe boy's competition. The Little Britches Rodeo is the first of two rodeos to be staged this year by Ihe Langley Riders club. The second event is the , Langley Riders amateur rodeo to take place in September. The amateur rodeo is the next step up on the rodeo circuit from tile Little Britches. Many of the events are the same as the Little Britches rodeo but with a few wilder competitions thrown in, such as wild cow milking and the wild cow race. Events will be scheduled in tiny mite, junior and senior divisions just like Little Britches. The senior class starts at age 16 and goes up to age 60. The Langley Riders amateur rodeo for 1978 will be held on September 9 and 10.

It is impractical and virtually impossible to make your home completely burglar-proof. However, most break-ins are relatively unsophisticated and many are simply "crimes of opportunity". As a result, with a little effort you can bring your house to a point of minimum security that will discourage most burglars from even attempting a break-in. This point of minimum security is the point where destructive force must be applied to gain access to your home. The cost to bring your house up to this level of security Is relatively inexpensive both in terms of time and money. In addition, it is a one time expense that will Insure your security for as long as you iive in that house.

It is so dashing and debonaire and downright exciting to sue somebody, especially somebody famous or reasonably so. You get your name in the papers and you get to brag about your lawyer's credentials, and you get to show off your new fashionable, three-piece law suit in an air conditioned courtroom under the eyes of an entire nation. Perhaps that is what convinced avant garde poets Bill Bissett and Bertrand Lachance (sounds like the cast of a Blaine porn flick) to sue half the population of Canada over some constructive criticism Hope speaks to new citizens VANCOUVER - Canada is one of the largest nations in the world, geographically, said Mun Hope, at the court of citizenship on Friday afternoon, as he welcomed new Canadian citizens from 24 countries. "If this country is to achieve a political and economic position commensurate with her physical size, it is necessary to have a strong spiritual and moral foundation." he continued. Each new citizen was provided with a new Bible, and he drew their attention to such favorite passages as: Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proccedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4). For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever bclicvcth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). Citizenship judge Frances El- ford presided over the official ceremonies; and reminded the capacity crowd, including visitors and relatives, about Canada Week observances. Hope also spoke at the breakfast meeting at Surrey inn on Saturday morning, under the auspices of Prayer Canada; and gave a report on his recent visit to the B.C. legislature. On Monday afternoon, he opened the Langley municipal council with prayer and Bible reading.

Local MP Bob Wenman was among a number of individuals who dared to suggest that the poetry these rhymers were producing was not worthy of government funding. As a result, his name now heads-a lengthy list of people and businesses the pair plan to sue for libel. Wenman is in fine company on his excursion into the realm of libel. Sharing the defendants table with him are none other than: five other MP's, hotmouth radio broadcaster Ed Murphy, radio station GJOR, the Toronto Globe and Mail, The Toronto Sun, Woodwards Stores and Eatons of Canada. These two very brave poets plan to show all of these people and businesses what.for. For our part we don't want to bias any legal proceedings before the courts so we won't say what we thought of their poetry, we will simply ask if it is true that they also plan to sue the CPR, the Vancouver Yacht Club, the SPCA and the Salvation Army? • *• Guess it is about time we made some mention of one of Trudeau's more acceptable political moves. Yes friends, sometimes the man does do something right. His recent announcement to start working on a new Canadian constitution is being widely criticized as a political spasm designed only to gain votes. Wc agree that his plan for a new federation lacks some of the most important ingredients we have outlined in this space on numerous occassions, but at least we feel the PM deserves some credit for recognizing the need for such a change. The motives behind such a moire arc really not relevant. Politicians will be political, and wc are never going to prevent that, nor would we want to. The most we can hope, is that they are able to stay in touch with us while they debate away the hours in their ivory towers. Perhaps the most fair criticism of Trudeau's constitutional plan would not be the plan itself, but the way it has been given life. The constitution should be written not just by Liberals, but by everyone in the country. We hate to suggest that a new department be set up, because right now the last thing wc seem to need is more government departments. Instead, what is wrong with simply throwing the House of Commons open to the public during the summer recess. A skeleton staff, could easily book debating time in the house, and anyone who is genuinely interested in a new constitution could sign on and mouth off. There are numerous political activists across the country ranging from wacko neo-Nazis to wild and woolly western separatists, and each one would probably have something to offer the country in terms of a new constitution. A special edition of Hansard (record of debate) could be kept through the summer "public session" and, this Hansard could be used by the government to get some idea how the public feels about the country. In the meantime, one point for Trudeau. At least he hasn't forgotten entirely his most important election promise. The one he made many years ago when he first fought for office. The one that caught the imagination of many young people now pushing thirty. The promise that he would bind the country together with a new constitution. Next to unity under one common goal and flag, the problems of unemployment and inflation seem to fade into oblivion. They seem to be part and parcel to the whole unity issue. Laziness has gripped the Canadian work force and it is easy to see why. What purpose is there in working to build a country that is doomed to fail, which is Canada's biggest problem under the B.N.A. Act. Give the people of Canada a real constitution and it just might get a few of us off our backsides and back on the assembly lines. • ** Until the country comes back together, there is something we can all do to help keep the peace. Summer holidays start this week for millions of school kids across the country. That means that scores of families will be plotting vacation plans in the next eight weeks or so. Well here is a tip, take it or leave it. CANADA IS WORTH SEEING. Before you jump that jet to Yucatan, consider having a butcher's hook (rhyming slang for look) at some of your own ground. It may get chilly over much of our nation in the winter, but there is hardly a spot in the country where you can't get by with a tee shirt and Bermuda shorts in the summer. Don't listen to those idiots who say that Canada is inhabited by black-flies and rattlers. Just pack a can of bug juice and a snake bite kit and hit the dusty trail. When you get to old Mount Royal you just might find that the Frenchmen are glad to see you, cowboy boots and all. Give my regards to windy Portage and Main, if you can keep your eyes off the mini-skirts. $$ EARN EXTRA DOLLARS $$ Men and women to deliver telephone directories Must be 18 or older with car.

Why the fighting between the school board and the teachers? Whose fault is it? A. Very good question. The entire problem stems from a fundamental disagreement between the board and the Langley Teachers Association as to who should run the educational system. When the school trustees who initiated the ruckus were elected in 1976, Ihey discovered a benevolent dictatorship at the board office under the senior administration, with the elected officials more or less relegated to joe-boy status. They corrected this problem by surreptitiously removing some of the more troublesome senior administrators and forcing the rest to toe the line. Q. So much for ancient history, but, why are the school board and the teachers fighting now? A. The teachers believe they deserve a larger voice in how the local educational system is run. They would like, more control over what they teach, and they don't, like the new report cards introduced last fall because they use an A • E grading system instead of some fuzzy educational jargon they can use to confuse people. They don't like being told how to dress, and they feel that they shouldn't be transferred from one school to another without their consent. 0. And the board fe... A. And the board feels exactly the opposite of what the teachers feel. They tried to hash out their differences at special, meetings, but they were so stridently opposed that they started calling one another names and acting like little children. Q. The meetings were that bad. huh? A. They would hold them in private. Terry Eastman, the president of the LTA says they have to be this way to facilitate open discussion. Unfortunately, if trustees discussed too openly such as As it happens in the United Church in the case of Peter Fassbender, who once quipped "take us to court" in theheat of a discussion, they would find their statements in the following edition of the teacher's bulletin. "Take us to court," says, Fassbender, the headline would scream, quoting the remark, probably out of context, and leaving the reader in the general dark as to what was said for the remainder of the three-hour meeting. Q. So... A. So what? Q. So what did the trustees do? A. They pulled out. Told the LTA to meet with them in public, rather than cowering behind a cloak of secrecy and leaking innuendo out at the bottom. As a result, the LTA, notably Mr. Eastman, refused to talk for five months, and devoted to his dialogue to criticizing the trustees for their failure to communicate with him. Q. Pretty bad, eh? A. Let's leave the blatant editorializing to me, shall we? Anyway, the board has been taking a lot of heat lately for its alleged refusal to talk to the Langley Teachers' Association, so last Monday, the same Mr. Fassbender who told Eastman "take us to court" suggested the teachers and the board get together in secret again, at last Monday's board meeting. Q. Is this giving in? A. Not exactly. A set of minutes would be drawn up for each meeting, and both the teachers and the board would have to sign them. If either side objected to the minutes, they would state their reasons for doing so in By Mike Kelly ALDERGROVE-Music was the theme at both Mt.Lehman and Aldergrove United churches this past Sunday. At Mt.Lehman, the choir under the direction of Cathy Sandstrom, led in the devotional theme with two anthems. At Aldergrove, Sybil Borgal the organist and choir leader, presented a musical of several songs the choir had sung during the church year. Sheila Knapp was the accompanist on the flute; a solo was sung by Edlcen Benn "How loverly are Thy dwellings" and Jane Huff and Sheila Knapp sang a duct "The Lord is my Shepherd." The ministry of music has a prominent place in both churches as a means of setting the atmosphere for worship. At Mt.Lehman the childrens address was the story of Mary Jones, the Welsh girl whose love for a Bible resulted in the founding of the British and Foreign Bible Society back in the year 1803. The story of today's Bible societies in her own language. The Sacrament of Holy Communion was observed at both churches. It is not always appreciated that Holy Cummunion is the one common Christian rite that binds all Christians together regardless of their particular denomination.

PHONE: 853-8381 writing. It wasn't a bad suggestion, and strangely, it was a very popular move with parents. Unfortunately, Fassbender didn't tell his fellow trustees about his suggestion in advance, so trustee David Bell succeeded in having the motion tabled until the next meeting. Mr. Bell probably didn't realize how unpopular his sentiments would be, judging from his reaction to the boos of the crowd. He's been under a lot of pressure lately. Q. Will the trustees support Fassbender's proposal next week? A. Probably. It's politically opportune to do so. Then they can escape the accusations that they won't meet with their own staff. Mr. Eastman will be forced to face the board on issues. O. By the way Greg, how do you feel about the issues? A. In my opinion, Mr. Eastman doesn't have a leg to stand on. The school board is way out in right field in some areas, but they're on target with their stance on school district management. The teachers want the right to veto their own transfers. They already can veto their own dismissal, unless they shoot four students during a school assembly or get convicted of child molesting. The senior administration should retain the power to transfer teachers wherever and whenever they want. That is what they are paid $30,000 a year to do. The teachers also object to the local school board's practice of putting new staff on nine-month probationary appointments before they entrench them forever in the school system. This doesn't allow for total accountability, but it's a start. Next year, they may even force teachers in a specific area of instruction, say English, to teach relatively similar courses; to give a common examination at the end of the year to all students. Maybe then I won't have to watch my literary abilities go to seed while some language teacher devotes 80 percent of the class time to grade nine grammar instruction... Q. Before you walk out of sight on that tangent, have you any final words? A. Yes. It's unfortunate that meeting in public to discuss educational issues was an unacceptable suggestion to the LTA. Let us hope that, should Mr. Fassbender's plan for renewed meetings be accepted next week, the more obstreperous members of both the school board and LTA put aside their personal feelings and examine educational questions on a more professional level.

At the close of the Aldergrove service two families had a baptismal service for their children; the Carstcnscn's of Alberta (formerly Susan Kinnic who had her son baptised) and the Burgess family of Clearbrook (the former Noreen Griffiths whose daughter was baptised). At both Mt.Lehman and Aldergrove churches the months of July and August are well equiped for family services. We invite families to come and worship together. The opening part of the services are geared to the young people, and then special childrens classes are held in the two halls so that parents may feel at ease during the remainder of the service. Film strips and stories arc provided for the young ones during this period. We invite you and your family to join with us, at Mt.Lehman at 9:30am and Aldergrove at 11:00am.

"What makes it a new way to care about people T i I've heard a lot about this Long-Term Care Program— what I'd like to know is exactly how this Program differs from what we've had in the past. What, specifically, is 'new' about it? r 1 In the past, those who required special care due to health problems often had to leave their homes to receive the necessary care. Services were scattered, difficult to locate and too expensive for many people. The purpose of the new Program is to co-ordinate care services and make them available to everyone who needs them—in the comfort of their own homes, wherever possible—at an affordable cost. We believe British Columbia residents should be able to receive the care they need, without financial hardship, while maintaining as much dignity and independence as possible. tOh, so the emphasis is I on home care? 7 Yes. While the Program does provide for residential care wherever needed, home care, homemaker services and home maintenance and repair are of prime importance. I They say HI the Program is not just for the elderly— is that I true? P Very definitely. The Long-Term Care Program is for any British Columbia resident —young or old— who requires long- term care for health-related reasons. i I You know, II think I know of someone who could benefit from the Program. Where should she go to apply? I 9 You can get complete information and discuss your particular needs at the Long-Term Care Office in the local health unit.It's as simple as that. THE LONGTERM CARE PROGRAM A NEW WAY TO CARE ABOUT PEOPLE. Province of Ministry of British Columbia Health Hon. R. H. McClelland, Minister. I So far, so M good. It sounds like a straightforward, logical approach. But now comes the big question— how much will this cost the person receiving the | care? f As far as care in the home is concerned, there is often no cost involved at all. For example, there is no charge for Home Care Services where they are provided with referral from your doctor, and no charge for Homemaker Services where family unit incomes fall below certain guidelines—ranging from $296 for a single person to $745 for five persons. In a residential facility, the basic cost is $6.50 per day. No extra or hidden charges can be made. However, a Room Differential may be charged where the accommodation exceeds the standards set by the Licensing Board—for example, private or semi- private rooms. These Room Differentials may run to a maximum of $9.00 per day. The Long-Term Care Administrator at the your local health unit can provide complete details regarding your particular circumstance.

J Jan Major new council president Spaceship puppets save the day ALDERGROVE - Imagine a world run by evil robots. A world where there are no schools or universities, no books, no music, no hockey games or anything else common to everyday human life. That was the kind of world that puppet characters Capt. Birk, Dr. Spook and Spotty found when they landed on the puppet stage at the Aldergrove library last week. The puppets, fashioned after characters from the popular tv series Star Trek, were part of a joint effort by the library and local teachers to get kids interested in reading through the summer vacation weeks. Students from Parkside Centennial Elementary School were taken to the library to watch the three heroes from outer space defeat a band of evil robots who had taken over the world. Under the robot regime, people were not permitted to live their own lives. All knowledge was dispensed by the robots and the mechanical creatures also controlled the daily work arid play habits of the human population. Spotty, a black spaniel with red spots who spoke with a Scottish brogue like his tv counterpart Scotty, was assigned to the task of stage. A boy and girl from Aldergrove who were freed from slavery to the robots and told by the Captain and his crew to begin living their own lives. There are two morals to the story. One is that you should read a book now before the robots take control, and the other is that if you can't find a happy ending at the local theatre, try your local library. By JULIE VALENTI LANGLEY — An impromptu piano concert was performed at last Wednesday's annual Langley Arts Council 'meeting. Retiring her term of office, president Betty Cox played the ballet from Swan Lake and Summertime in lieu of a farewell speech. New president is Jan Major. Other officers are Gerry Watson, vice president; Barbara Mascoe, recording secretary; Leslie Stevenson, corresponding secretary. The new board of directors consists of Joanne Boyle, Julie Valenti, Donna Sinclair and Jane Power. The treasurer's position is still open and any council member wishing to take the job may do so. Ken Norman announced a series of musical concerts to be presented this winter at the Fort Langley museum. He also presented the three scholarship winners with their checks. Paul Baron, trumpeteer with the Special Edition band, will use his monies to attend a music camp this summer. Arts and crafts winner Rosanna Hille will complete art-courses this fall at UBC. Two-time dance winner Jaydene Ireland wilt be in residence this summer with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet company. A soup tureen and ladle made by local potter Robert Hamm was given to Eva Price, manageress of Portage House for the past six years, in appreciation for her work. Portage House is being torn down this summer by the city but the council has acquired the Beaulieu house in which the local arts groups can meet. New manageress will be Rosett McDonald. The barbershoppers announced a fund-raising carwash being held July 8 on the corner of 200 Street and Fraser Highway. The monies will help finance a trip to Spokane, Washington for a singing competition. They promise to sing while they wash. It seems there were some White Rock arts.council members on the LAC home tour earlier this month. So impressed were they with the Langley tour that they have organized one of their own. The White Rock home and garden tour will be held August 2, starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Centennial Pavillion. Tickets are $2.50. Bring a lunch and travel will be by private car.

He and these two drama groups believe strongly in the importance of drama for youth. Drama, and not necessarily in the theatrical sense, offers the opportunity to develop the imagination, the opportunity to work together in a group situation and the opportunity to communicate in different and unique ways.

In a press release, the school board said the transfers were upheld following interviews with the three dissatisfied principals Thursday at the school district offices in Murrayville. The three principals end up the losers in a massive shuffle of teaching and administrative staff two weeks ago by district director of elementary instruction, Earl Danccy. In all, twenty-two staff were moved, including six principals. Five teachers joined the administrators in protesting their transfers, which they claimed were made without consultation or warning. Dr. Len Sampson, school superintendent, says the five contested teacher transfers were mutually resolved, with several revoked at the request of the Langley Teachers' Association. If no further appeals are made, Buck will move from Bradshaw to become principal at large of several tiny country schools. MacDonald will move to Lochiel elementary from Murrayville, and McTaggert will move from Uplands to take on the dual role of principal at Anderson elementary in Fort Langley, and the Tillicum school for the mentally handicapped. The school board promised an early decision on the transfers of the principals after both the LTA and scores of affected parents gathered at a regular semi-weekly board meeting to present petitions and voice their protest. The LTA, in addition to backing the three principals has passed a resolution opposing the transfer of teachers or principals without their consent, or for other than educational reasoning. The teachers would like to see a written statement explaining reasons included in any transfer document, and they have approached the board to establish a joint committee to look into hiring and transfer policies. Teachers at both Uplands and Murrayville were upset with the transfers of their principals be cause they came after .the final deadline for changing their own position in the school district. In many cases the personality of the school principal has a great bearing on whether or not individual teachers stay or leave the school. At both Uplands and Murrayville, teachers are committed to another year in the classroom despite the events of the last two weeks. The LTA opposes the transfer of principals any later than February 1, before teachers have to make their own intentions for the following year known to the ' administration. School trustee Loren Maluorno of Aldergrove says the LTA resolutions undermine the authority of the district's senior administrators. "Who is responsible for making the decisions, anyway?" says Maluorno, "the public, through its elected representatives, and the administration, or the staff. If the public want a union making the decisions, then they can elect a union in November." Dancey, who took over the elementary education directorate last year, has publicly apologized for failing to notify teachers before transfering them. Despite revoking several transfers, Sampson says he still supports Dancey. "When you review a situation and recommend that a change be made, 1 don't think that reflects adversely on anybody," he said.

BRADNER — Walter Hughes, world reknown breeder of fine Appaloosas is still breeding the horses on his retirement acreage on Bradner road. Last year Hughes, who used to run a Little Beaver Club for children at his Sunshine Ranch near Mt. Lehman, moved off the Sunshine Ranch to the Bradner locatto,. The move followed a strol:e he suffered shortly before. Retirement and a change to quieter pasture has not slowed Hughes down much, however. He still operates a breeding ranch and receives visits on a regular basis from graduates of his Little Beaver Club. The club used to train youngsters in riding skills and the skills of the pioneers, such as wood chopping and building outdoor shelters. in addition to running the Little Beaver Club, Hughes also bred fine Appaloosas from his stable of studs and brood mares. The colts were shipped as far away as Britain and Australia. One is still used as a polo pony in royal circles in England. This week Hughes unveiled yet another young colt at his Bradner farm. The colt has been tentatively named One Spot and is pictured in this week's Star with its mother Aloha. The colt is beginning to show Appaloosa colour having developed one tan spot on his sandy coloured body. LANGLEY BY-WATER LTD.
