LET'S BE SOCIABLE 'worry alderman MURRAYVILLE - A township alderman says it would be nice to meet informally with aldermen from Langley city instead of "bumping into him or her and realizing that it is not some alien from Matsqui, but rather an alderman from the city." Aid. John Scholtens' remark Monday night made it clear that he is one politician who feels himself more attracted to the west than to the east. Scholtens and Aid. Muriel Arna son wanted an informal Christmas party of members of the two Langley councils. Aid. Aubrey Searle, on the other hand, would rather have seen "a structured, much more productive meeting." There is absolutely no antagonism between members of the two councils, the former Langley city mayor said. Amason wanted the get together to mend some fences between the two local governments, and what better time than Christmas to forgive and forget past indiscretions? However, with Christmas only 10 days away, the party wou|ri... not be organized. It was postponed instead to some time in early or middle January. Arnason scores big jr MURRAYVILLE - A committee of council has been appointed by newly elected Mayor John Beales to review council's in camera meetings policy. Aldermen Muriel Amason, John Campbell and Aubrey Searle were selected by Beales this week to serve on this special committee. "The committee must give prime consideration to the fact that only litigation, employee relations and land management will be discussed in camera," Beales said. "Will the committee be meeting in camera?" joked Aid. John Scholtens. It was a major victory for Amason, who has long been fighting for more open government. A clear policy on the matter was promised by Beales during the recent election campaign. Amason fought a losing battle with the previous council and was continuously ignored when she charged that many items discussed behind closed doors had absolutely no justification for not being public knowledge. MURRAYVILLE - Four members of Langley township's advisory planning committee have quit, saying that there "is not enough meat" in the cases they have been asked by council to consider during the past year. As a result, the commute has been disbanded. Mayor John Beales says the functions previously carried out by the advisory committee will now be dealt with by the township's economic and industrial development commissioner. But, he adds, "if a demand shows, we will reinstitute (the advisory planning committee) right away." Committee of volunteer appointees was formed some years ago to provide input to council on developments that could cause problems of one sort or another. Councilors, however, always made it a point that they were not bound by the committee's recommendations, and indeed, in many cases seemed to ignore the suggestions altogether. 'Enormous9 fee increase MURRAYVILLE - Development fees will go up to $1,800 from the current $500, and that is "an enormous increase", says veteral Aid. Muriel Amason. She voted contrary this week to a new municipal bylaw that would authorize the rise in application fees submitted by developers. For multiple residential development, the fees would increase by 260 percent. "It is contrary to what we are trying to do (encourage development in Langley township), Amason said. She added that it would be "no problem for large developers, but it will hurt the small developer." However, Aid. John Scholtens said it had to be "user pays" since council could not expect the general taxpayer to subsidize time spent by municipal staff in processing applications. Planner Kurt Alberts told council that applications for multiple family developments such as apartments and townhouse "consume most of staff's time." The report and bylaw were approved with only Amason voting contrary. Computer is his life-saver ALDERGROVE - Gordon Heather of Aldergrove is a fighter. Though progressively debilitated from multiple sclerosis for the last 15 years, Gordon maintains an active interest in the world around him. When the disease claimed his voice two years ago, the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation of British Columbia provided Gordon with an Apple computer communi cation system, "which has been a life-saver," according to his wife. The foundation also set up an environmental control system which enables Gordon to turn on the radio, television, telephone, lights and adjust his electric bed. "We're more than happy with the support we've received from the Kinsmen," according to Mrs. Heather, "It's been a godsend!"

Waterflow standards debatable MURRAYVILLE - It was with some apparent misgivings that council members here this week approved of a policy change recommended by municipal staff. "The intent is admirable," said Aid. Aubrey Searle. "But...." He added that he would like council to defer a decision on "this very important issue that will have a major impact on development in Langley." The policy will demand that there is a proven source of potable groundwater of no less than 13,000 litres per day for each building lot in the township before a building permit is approved. Municipal administrator Jim Godfrey said he felt "the volume is reasonable," but added that "no, we don't know how many can meet the standards." Godfrey said that "some kind of control" had to be introduced in order to curtail development, that would later put a strain on municipal finances through increased demands for city water. "I hope we are fully aware of what we are doing here this evening," said Searle. Councilors should be prepared to amend or repeal the policy at a later date if it proved to put a total halt on development, he said. Valley's Only FREE CLASSIFIED ADS! Metro growth slows down VANCOUVER - The rate of population growth in the metropolitan area, which has been declining for the last 20 years, is expected to continue to do so for the next half century, according to a study prepared by the GreaterVancouver regional district's development services department. In the year 2036 planners forecast that the rate will be down to 1 percent, and even that small increase will be the result of migration into the area. About the year 2015 the number of deaths in the region will exceed the number of births. The study was carried out in order to forecast sewerage and drainage facilities that might be required to the year 2036 and included all 19 municipalities and electoral areas within the GVRD as well as Langley township, Langley city, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. Total population of the area is expected to increase by about 523.000 over the next 50 years, to 1.9 million. "The substantial slowing of growth after the turn of the century is the result of the region's age profile. By 2011 the large baby boom generation has begun to age into the higher mortality years. This group is followed by much smaller generations with low birth rates. As a result, the number of deaths in the region begins to exceed the number of births. "At this point, Greater Vancouver must rely solely on net migration for growth. Even with net migration the region's population becomes virtually stable by 2036 since the number of deaths is forecast to rise while the number of births falls." states the GVRD study. The report points out that levels of migration are somewhat speculative. Fifty years from now the city of Vancouver's population is expected to be about what it is today; there will be a slight increase on the North Shore; a moderate increase in Bumaby-NewWestmins ter; significant increase in Richmond and dramatic increases in Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Langley city and township and PM1 Meadows-Maple Ridge.

Strong measures called for VANCOUVER - Stronger measures will be needed to combat high unemployment in two years if the government doesn't rush into its decentralization and privatization programs, Premier Bill Vander Zalm says.,. He blames external factors such as the stock market crash for changes in the economy which require stem measures and a totally different approach. Vander Zalm says he would rather risk being a one-term premier and be remembered as a leader who took chances but made some mistakes instead of taking only popular initiatives. "I would sooner go down as someone who did a lot, made some mistakes, than to go down as a premier who did nothing and simply followed through and did the political things popular at the time,"Vander Zalm says. "I would much prefer to take initiatives now ... than to face it two years down the road when we are faced with a 15 percent unemployment rate. I don't want that sort of thing."

C. Blair swimming pool here is operating at a deficit and Aid. Aubrey Searle says this is "a fact of life, and there is not much can be done about it." When the pool was opened in late 1985, municipal council of the day decided to let the YMYWCAoperate the public owned facility. Recreation director Daren Obome blames the large shortfall in operating budget on the "abnormal (1987) summer which lasted practically to the end of October." Because of the balmy west coast weather, attendance at the indoor pool was way down, he says. At the Brookswood civic arena, the curling rink and lounge are operated by the local curling club under contract with the two Langley councils. On top of lease payments, the curlers are to pay 45 percent of the revenue they take in, to the two governments. This week councilors advised management of the club that they cannot use portions of the revenue for equipment purchases without the prior approval by township and city. "They must proceed according to the contract," said municipal administrator Jim Godfrey. Otherwise, Godfrey added, it would cut into the township's revenue. YOUR COMPLETE TECHNICAL STORE...

Every January, tens of thousands of volunteers canvass the province for funds to help the physically disabled. All donations are used to provide services and equipment (including specialized technical aids for the severely disabled) to assist the mobility and independence of the disabled people of British Columbia. It all began in 1944 when Vancouver Kinsmen began raising funds to combat the polio epidemic that was sweeping the country. All provincial clubs rallied support to purchase equipment and to provide travel expenses for the many polio victims. In 1953, the Kinsmen organized the first province-wide appeal for funds, a one-hour "porch light" blitz called the "Mothers' March on Polio", and raised $143,000. With the discovery of the Salk vaccine in 1955, the threat of polio was relieved by mass vaccinations, much of which were paid for by the Polio Fund which had been organized by the Kinsmen. The B.C. Kinsmen also recognized the need of the many polio victims who were left severely disabled for life and formed the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation of B.C. Today, the foundation provides a wide range of services and equipment for the disabled. The annual March involves over 30,000 volunteers throughout the province, collecting door to door in their own neighborhoods during the two-week campaign. This year, $1.5-million is required in order to maintain the current level of services provided by the foundation to disabled people in British Columbia. 35 years ago, when B.C. Kinsmen rallied to the need of the victims of the polio epidemic, no one realized the impact their generosity and hard work would have on the field of rehabilitation. Today, men and women march for a common cause -- to help provide mobility and independence for the many disabled people of British Columbia.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, Word war: world war *, It looked like lots of fun. i. Somehow it didn't seem like war at all. -from John Gray's Billy Bishop », a Goes to War. In some respects the musical version of Canada's First World War flying ace was right. Only those who had been at the front knew the horrendous truth. The families, friends and prospective recruits at home based their view of the war on what they were told by a controlled press and the writers of government-organized propaganda. The First World War was something of "a gigantic con game" in which winning was the prize, and lies one of the most powerful weapons - on both sides. The reality of that long-ago conflict and its British, Canadian and American propaganda machines is the top of Simon Fraser University English professor Peter Buitenhuis' new book, The Great War of Words, published by UBC Press. It's a story which had been largely lost to present day literary consciousness. Buitenhuis came across it during research on Henry James, one of his major academic interests. "There was a moment when I realized that what I was doing had never been done before. It had been covered up by an avalanche of time. I caught fire," he recalls. In 1974 Buitenhuis spoke at the University of Toronto on his discoveries about the involvement of writers of the stature of Rudyard Kipling, J. M.Barrie, John Galsworthy and even James in the production of propaganda disguised as literature or personal opinion in pamphlets or articles. The then president of the university, Claude Bissell, suggested there was a book to be written on the subject. And after 10 more years of intensive research in sources ranging from the British Library, the Library of Congress, the National Archives of Canada and Simon Fraser's Bennett library special colections, the book has been published to critical acclaim. The book opens on a secret meeting of 25 of Britain's leading authors in the office of the national health service. The records of what eventually grew into a war propaganda bureau are largely missing. The office was closed shortly after the armistice and the records uncharacteristically were lost or destroyed rather than neatly filed. While the young men of Britain were enthusiastically rushing off to be battlefield cannon fodder, the writers, with the notable exception of George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell and a few others, enthusiastically went to war with their pens. The pens were very persuasive. What they were writing was fiction far removed from fact. Dispatches from the front were tailored for home consumption. Buitenhuis quotes J. M. Barrie's revealing line, "Surely they wouldn't deceive the mothers." Canadian journalist Max Aitken, later Lord Beaverbrook, justified the war effort saying it was the making of Canada as a nation. By the time the Second World War came round it was more difficult to control the news from the front lines. There were reporters on the scene at major battles and there was film to capture the image. Years later reports such as Mary McCarthy's from Vietnam accompanied by daily, on the spot, television coverage helped change the thinking of the people of the United States about that war. Buitenhuis follows the writers into the postwar period. Kipling, the imperialist and patriot, was profoundly disillusioned. His book, The Irish Guards, a realistic history of the Great War, was a way of coming to terms with the death of his son who was killed while serving with the regiment. The traditional detachment and integrity of writers was the first casualty of the war. It was left to the yhounger ex-soldier novelists and poets, the ones who knew the reality of war, to regain that independence. That's quite a twist The latest twist to the privatization story is as logical as it is unexpected, and the possibilities are awesome. Premier Vander Zalm wants to minimize government by selling off its possessions and contracting out its services. Fair enough. He is not, as some of his opponents contend, just trying to provide his rich free-enterprise supporters with the opportunity to make more fat profits. He is obviously enthusiastic about the idea of employees in various government operations getting together to perform the same services on contract. This, of course, provokes a knee-jerk trade union reaction that the workers are being forced to buy their jobs, and there is an element of truth in that contention. It is also true, however, that there are real benefits when businesses are owned by the employees. And there is little doubt that a part of the premier's enthusiasm for down-sizing government involves the down-sizing of the powerful public service unions. What he apparently didn't anticipate (and neither did anyone else), was. "~~* i--!--« ._>—.'■*- workers to combine to go into business is through those same public service unions. When the premier was first told that the B.C. Government Employees Union proposed to bid for the highway maintenance contract, his reaction clearly showed an element of enthusiasm. He obviously felt some gratificia- tion that the BCGEU leaders were seeing the light, and the logic of that reaction is supported by the hostility and concern with which other union leaders received the news. But what can be done with the highways maintenance contract can be done with other government services. The possibility emerges of the Hospital Employees Union owning and operating the health care system, the Electrical Workers Union owning and operating B.C. Hydro, the B.C. Teachers Federation owning and operating the schools, and the province being governed not by the premier, the cabinet or the legislature, but by the B.C. Federation of Labour. Nothing, we feel sure, could be farther from what the premier . originally had in mind Criteria for High returns mean risk investor immigrants by RON PARK The crash of the world stock markets has emphasized once again a basic dictum that should guide all investors: High income returns mean high risks. Nobody is going to pay you significantly above going interest rates for the use of your money unless they are 1) desperate for cash, or 2) engaged in an enterprise that really does generate profits well in excess of the interest rate you are being paid. If it's the latter case, it still poses a risk for your money because high-income ventures can run out of steam when others enter the field in search of those high returns. Then not only interest but also capital may end up being unpaid. Many people lost money in the crash and survived because they were not playing with borrowed money. Those who were hurt were those who had borrowed money to get rich quick, and then were unable to meet their obligations when their brokers called in the loans. We are all familiar with the fable about the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady in the investment business more often than not does win the race. When can you take risks? I would say it is when: - You have the money in the bank to do so. - You have dependable future income big enough to cushion any losses. It certainly is not the time to take risks when you are nearing retirement with no savings, or even a small nest egg, and limited future income. That is not the time to try to get rich quick. Don't be misled into risky investments by stories of how some people tripled their money in the stock market. Some people have and those are the ones you are most likely to hear about. People don't like to talk about their bad decisions which lost money. It's like betting on the horses and buying lottery tickets. You hear about the people who won money, not about those who lost. Those are the stories that should be told before you plunge into that 'sure thing'. studied VICTORIA - Criteria for acceptance of investor immigrants to British Columbia are being proposed for comment and discussion by the provincial minister of economic development, Grace McCarthy. "British Columbia welcomes and encourages investor-immigrants as they can significantly contribute to the economic development of the province," says McCarthy. "Our proposed new criteria will allow investment in a broader range of economic sectors and maximize the potential for attracting investment funds in British Columbia from this source. According to federal guidelines, under the investor category an immigrant must: o have a net worth of $500,000. o have demonstrated business skills. oinvest at least $250,000 for a minimum of three years in a project, business or syndicate providing significant economic benefit to the province. LETTER Zalm takes power from people Editor, The Star, Sir, I don't know how many remember the letter to the editor some time ago under the same heading. This was when Vander Zalm was minister of municipal affairs, after tabling his new land act which his colleagues would not support, he left politics calling them all gutless. Now the shoe is on the other foot and if they show any guts and speak up they loose their cabinet posts. They are too greedy to take that chance, and have all become chair-warmers with a loud "yes sir". The province is to be broken up into eight "economic regions" each with one million dollars to spend, each of which is under the direction of a cabinet overseer, or "secretary of state" who reports to Vander Zalm and the cabinet directly. The Socred government is introducing amendments to the Muni- «»s that, one logical > ^^forvVv/--- / &■ - << Agassi?.Adyahce; '.-- *■ • >.- • : , , f \ cipal act to facilitate privatization of municipal services in business districts. The legislation which will be put to the coming legislative session will establish powers for municipalities to create "business improvement areas" (BIAs) within any area of a municipality on commercial or industrial zoned land. The BIAs will be administered by a corporation with a board of directors appointed by the municipal council. Upon establishment, the BIAs will be granted a budget to be spent on "services," primarily marketing or promoting the business area, and "works," involving the "improvement, beauti- fication or maintenance of streets, sidewalks or municipally owned land, buildings or structures." The BIA board of management "can determine which works and services should be undertaken and how-much money should be spent *' jaggs :A-> 'AA?.:'- • ■&■-'""■'; "A?sV':Vf"5'i^*-* A.'p.iM 1 on them." Under the scheme, part or all of the normal functions of municipal departments would be delegated to the BIA management board. Municipal councils would retain control over the annual budgets and expenditure of funds and could set conditions on how services or works will be contracted. The legislation also stipulates that the BIA budget be in part or whole recovered by a local busi^ ness tax levied by the municipal council on recommendation of the BIA board of management. The draft legislation containing the amendments to the municipal act has been circulated to all B.C. municipalities by the provincial ministry of municipal affairs with indication that the legislation wiii be brought to the current session of the legislature.

Paul Grant starts them off by JUDY GRANT ALDERGROVE - After a slow start the Atom Al Rep (Valley Gravel Sales) hockey team, pulled together to tie Port Moody 3-3. The Geoff Robinson, Paul grant and Tyson Unruh line connected for two of the three goals. Paul Grant started the ball rolling, with some hard, fast skating to beat the goalie for Aldergrove's first goal, followed by Lonnie O'Krane out- manouvering the opposition for a perfect second goal. Next Geoff Robinson put one in to tie up the game. Unruh picked up two assists by setting up the first and last goals, with Brian Grycan assisting O'Krane's goal. The game ended early when one of the Aldergrove players was taken to hospital after receiving a hard check to the head and neck. Fortunately the injury was not serious, but very uncomfortable. Hopefully coaches, parents and hockey players will work harder to prevent this situation from happening again. Sunday, Aldergrove was out played by a strong team from Seattle in an exhibition game. Aldergrove did well to hold the score down to 4-1. Goal tenders Eric Cadieux and Andrew Caldwell stopped 45 shots as both played an exceptional game. The lone goal came from Travis Brown assisted by Josh Beaulieu.

The locals jumped out to an early lead as Heather Gray threw the opening free pass to Shannon Waters and after a couple of slick moves she laid it up for Heidi Letkeman who banged the ring past a startled Abby netminder. Just two minutes later, however, it was Abby's turn to sneak one past Josh Letkeman in the Aldergrove net and it was 1-1. After five minutes of back-and-forth play, Erin Henthore took a pass from the corner from linemate Erin Miller and made a nice high shot past the Abby goalie and Aldergrove was back in the lead 2-1. It took yet another five minutes of good play by both teams until the next goal was to materialize and this one was set up by stalwart defender Willow Unruh as she slipped a pass to Maria Mach who Bruins lose ALDERGROVE - Pee Wee B's lost to Abbotsford in the MSA arena Sunday night. The Aldergrove Bruins started off with a quick goal from Chris Macaulay unassisted. And then Matt Kennedy found the spot with Curtis Nicholls getting the assist. Abbotsford could only come back with one to end the period 2-1 for the Bruins. The second period saw Abbotsford get four goals before the Bruins could find the net when Joel Ashman got one with the assist going to Shawn Wasylkie- wicz and Jeremy Bartell. This ended the period with the Bruins being down by two. The third period was all Abbotsford. They stuck three more goals behind the Bruins netminder to end the game 8-3. made some great moves and scored. The clock wound down to just nine seconds in the period when Heidi took a pass from Heather and Sheri Harty and put it high over the keeper's shoulder to put the Fireflys up 4-1. The second period was to open as a carbon copy of the first as Heather passed in from the free pass circle to Shannon who in turn set up Heidi, and it was 5-1. The replay of the first continued as Abby made some nice moves of their own and burnt Josh to make it 5-2 Aldergrove. Next on the agenda was Amy Russenholt who took a lead pass from Heidi and put it into the corner of the net and it was 6-2. The Abby players were no quitters and seconds later they came back to make it 6-3, and quickly made it 6-4 as they continued their assault on the Aldergrove net. The Fireflys put a strong defensive wall up and pressed Abby deep in their own end. Heather stole the ring, made a slick move to the front of the net,' and tucked it up under the crossbar to make it 7-4. It was with two minutes remaining when Alisha Marrington, playing her best game of the year, passed the ring to Heidi who drove it by the goaltender to make it 8-4. With just seconds left, it was Petra Mach sliding a lead pass to Sheri Harty who put on the jets and skated by two Abby defenders, with a good hard forehand shot planted the ring into the back of the net. Final score Fireflys 9-4 over a good little Abbotsford team who regardless of the score were in the game all the way. With just a week between games it is great to see the young players improve. Red, white and blue sticks and not to forget goaltend- ing are all coming along, and the team is looking forward to next March and their trip to the Provincials in Prince George.

The first period was played end-to-end with both teams having good chances to score. Dawson Brill came up with the only goal of the period when Craig Arseneault slid one past the Delta goalie on a nice pass from Nolan Thomasson to end the period 1-0. Brad Puffer started the second period off getting his first of the night unassisted in the first minute of play. Less than a minute later Delta got that one back. Puffer teamed up with his brother and put his second one past the Delta goalie with the assist going to Bruce Puffer. The Puffers again teamed up to get another one. This time Bruce found the spot with the assist going to Brad. At this point Aldergrove had Delta going around in circles. Brad got his hat trick of the night on a great passing play again from Bruce. Delta had many chances to score, but Graham Gillies played excellent and only let one more puck find its way into the net to end the period 5-2. Brad Puffer again showed his hockey talent in the third, scoring his fourth of the night on a well executed passing play started by Ben Kirk. Rick Adam put the final nail in Delta's coffin with a minute left to play on a nice pass from Ben Kirk. The shots on goal were 23 each in this very exciting hockey game, that ended 7-2 for Dawson Brill. Petite A's cop 8-7 win ALDERGROVE - On Saturday night, Aldergrove Petite A's travelled to South Delta arena to do battle with a much improved Delta squad. The two teams traded goals back and forth all during the game, and with less than two minutes on the clock, the game tied, Aldergrove's Jennie Maksymetz went off for two minutes for Tweens tumble ALDERGROVE - The local Tween team travelled to North Vancouver Monday to play the powerful North Shore Winter Club. Aldergrove lacked the scoring punch they have become famous for. The team was missing two players and Deanne Bettles filled in a much needed spot. They lost the game, but not the battle. tripping. However, the team rallied and with one person short, Christy Nikkei broke in from the blue line to score the winning goal. The strong play of new goal- tender, Robin Gray, enabled Aldergrove to squeak out the win. The combination of Lindsay Adam, Rachelle Lauzon, and Donna Alary, showed great tenacity in checking Delta's team, as was evident when usually mild-mannered Lindsay Adam played very agressive and received two penalties. The new line of Christy Nikkei, Dyan Bettles, and Krystal Godard resulted in all the scoring as Christy Nikkei scored five goals including her winner, while Dyan Bettles added three, with Krystal assisting. The team had a superb effort from their defence, Jenny Maksy metz, Debbie Haber, Nikki Christensen, and Suzanne Sullivan, who helped to protect the goalie and clear the zone. With the team's much improved effort, it will be enjoyable to watch their last game before the Christmas break, played Saturday, December 19, at 10:3; in Aldergrove.

BOB YOUNG "I'll start my diet right after Christmas, Doc." Sometimes patients make this statement as early as September! I'm a generous soul, but sometimes I feel that these people are not well motivated. Christmas is a dangerous time for those with weight problems. Two or three Tom and Jerrys doing the 'tree' can blow the calorie allotment for the whole day. And there are still the chocolates, nuts, cookies, cracker dips, and all the rest. We have not even got to dinner yet - another million calories. There can be no holiday season for the serious weight watcher. The body gobbles up all those little morsels like Pac Man and if care is not taken it can be mid-February before the weight gets back to its November level. There is some hope. The moderately weak-willed may be able to survive on oranges and carrot sticks instead of candies and chips. The Christmas dinner need not be twice as big as the average meal, and maybe tradition can be broken by serving a salad instead of mashed potatoes, gravy, and turkey stuffing. If climate and conditions permit, get out of the house and exercise. Walk, cross country ski, or shovel out the drive-way. Go curling or skating. Here on the west coast, where I live, we can go sailing or golfing, but I won't mention this. With luck, getting out will get you away from the food at home. Exercise will help burn off the calories already eaten - but a candy cane equals 15 minutes cross-country skiing, the plum pudding 45 minutes of skating. And avoid exercising in the cold with alcohol in your system as this can lead to hypothermia. One of the problems with the holiday season is the fact that there is often so much food around. The Christmas dinner probably does not do as much harm as the leftovers. Eating out on Christinas day may be the answer for some dieters. There is always good news. If you do fall by the wayside during the season you will at least be providing work for fitness centers, nutritionists, and maybe even your doctor, come spring!

Another $500 was donated towards the purchase of a car for the CNIB at Maple Ridge. The Aldergrove Lions have lost, as a result of his death, a charter member who devoted much of his time and effort to local projects. This was Mr. Walter Fowles. Among his more recent activities was to be chairman of the committee for exchange of international students. His untimely death will cause him to be sorely missed by all his friends and associates, and especially his family. The Aldergrove Lions have established a trust of $1,000, the interest from this fund is to be donated to the Aldergrove Girl Guides, in memory of Walter Fowles.

The students, parents and staff are all contributing to a brighter Christmas for four Aldergrove families. It's a family affair ALDERGROVE - Taking Christmas to the community is a family affair at Parkside elementary school here. The students, parents and staff have adopted four families through the Langley Christmas Hamper Bureau. The children are doing their part by collecting canned goods and non-perishable items for the hampers. Vic Ewert, principal, said, "The staff will be passing the hat to raise funds to purchase a gift for each of the children in the four families." The PTG will also be making a cash contribution for the purchase of gifts. Coordinating this event is parent, Angie McCulloch, who said, "I think the children feel proud that they are helping others at Christmas. Last year we adopted just two families. We collected so Vallee to meet caucus LANGLEY - The Christmas Hamper Bureau reports that public response to the various "toy drives" has been truly phenomenal. "We have more than we need (for inclusion in the food hampers given to the needy in the district)," said co-ordinator Iris Mooney. "If anyone needs toys to put in their hampers or give to someone else deserving they may come by Douglas Hall, Friday, Dec. 18 between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and select a toy ~ a limit of two per child." Donations to the Hamper Bureau continue to grow, as well. As of Dec. 11, 407 of the 500 needy much that this year we decided to adopt four families." The parent teacher group has been preparing all year for this event. Parents have been collecting cash register tapes from Super-Valu and Safeway which have been exchanged for vouchers.

The Parkside senior choir also particiated in a community carol sing at a benefit concert for the Langley food bank at the United Church. They also visited and sang to the residents of Jackman Manor and lions Grove. Parkside students are only one example of 'students reaching out to the community at Christmas.'

Schneider:1 Willow Creek is not a "Dukes' reunion By Wendy Wallace "This movie was important for both Tom Wopat and me," says John Schneider of "Christmas Comes to Willow Creek," a CBS movie airing Sunday, Dec. 20. "It was an opportunity for us to show what we were capable of doing besides the Duke boys. People will now be able to look at us more seriously than they did before." As Bo and Luke Duke of the CBS series "The Dukes of Hazzard," Schneider and Wopat became TV's best-known duo before taking their last ride in the supercharged General Lee in 1985. Now, the holiday drama reunites the two actors as new characters. They portray Ray and Pete, feuding brothers who are asked by their old friend Al (Hoyt Axton) to bring a truckload of gifts to the remote and economically hard-hit town of Willow Creek, Alaska. Only their compassion for the wheelchair-bound friend, who usually makes the trip himself, can persuade the two to endure four days together in the cab of an 18-wheeler. Adding to their difficulties are Pete's teenage son Mike (Zachary Ansley), who detests his father, and Jessie (Kim Delaney), a woman the two brothers are still arguing over. "It's hard to take all those elements and make it realistic," Schneider admits. "But it comes off very well. Every time you think it's over, something comes in to brighten it up again. And it keeps getting better, so the story ends on an uplifting note." Schneider is aware that many viewers will expect the movie to be a thinly disguised "Dukes" reunion. But he says that just the opposite is true. "I'm proud to say that we've avoided the Duke characters," he says. "On the set, we started the 'Duke patrol' - whenever we slipped into old habits, we would cut, or one or the other would be instructed to keep them out at all costs. When people see us in this, they'll know the relationship is real and different." Schneider has devoted much of his time to his career as a country music singer, and recently completed a tour with the group Alabama. ("Sold out everywhere we went," he says.) He also has acting projects in the works with his Trail's End production company. "I don't want Tom and myself to appear as book- ends," he says of his reunion with Wopat. "We're good friends, but we're as different as two people can be. But there's something about us. It's probably the best working relationship I've ever had." Fevered imaginations got more than they bargained for with "Candid Camera," which aired on network TV from \ 1948 to 1967, and later aired in syndication. The show's premise couldn't be simpler: How would the average citizen react when confronted with a bizarre situation? Well, let's just take along the old hidden camera and find out! Host Allen Funt conned hundreds of people, forcing them into embarrassing situations. Diners were served impossibly small portions, vending machines talked back to customers, suitcases were filled with concrete. Voyeurism sank to new depths as viewers shamelessly ogled innocent victims. The phrase "Smile, you're on 'Candid Camera'!" became etched \ in the national consciousness. One ofFunt's most remarkable stunts was his unapproved trip to Russia. He managed to smuggle 90,000 feet of film into and out of the Soviet Union, undetected by the border guards, who apparently thought all American tourists brought cameramen and massive amounts of film on vacation. But Funt received a taste of his own medicine when he played out the suitcase ploy for the Soviets. In this gag, a pretty young woman asks for help carrying her bags; she picks up one, which is empty, and an unsuspecting male picks up the other, which is filled with 200 pounds of cement. This time, to Funt's amazement, a massive Russian blithely I picked up the heavy bag and trotted off without saying a \ word. "Candid Camera" set the pace for a series of shows which served as candid cameras into our private lives. We watched people choose blind dates ("The Dating Game," 1966-70) and reveal secrets of their newly married lives ("The Newlywed Game," 1967-71). And new versions and variations of these shows appear in syndication each year. Embarrass thy neighbor is back. So hey - next time a midget wrestler offers you a free trip to Trenton, smile: You may be on "Candid Camera." Question: Which Miss America winner served as a co-host | in 1966 and 1967?

The title of "Three Men and a Baby" tells you everything you need to know about the film. Take three amiable bachelor roommates, place them in the Taj Mahal of New York penthouses, then add the active ingredient: a baby girl cute enough to melt the heart of an Eskimo Scrooge. Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson play the three amigos, Peter, Michael and Jack, all of them swinging American males. These guys would never turn a single woman away from their door, and little Mary is no exception. They find her on their stoop, with a note attached indicating that one bachelor's night of pleasure has paid its dividend. Soon the three men are godfathers, with their careers and social lives giving way to nightly feedings and dirty diapers. The plot demands that the three bachelors consider the baby a nuisance at first, but are eventually overcome by her charm and their own paternal drives. But these YURKO guys are wealthy enough for the child to be no burden economically. And gags such as the scene in which the baby wets the silk sheets are lightweight farce at best. So when Mary's mother (Nancy Travis) comes to reclaim her, it is no surprise that all three men want to make a long-term commitment. And the domestic tale takes a largely unnecessary twist when the package from heaven gets mixed up with a package of heroin intended for some drug dealers. Selleck, Danson and Guttenberg convey enough charm to overcome the film's lack of a believable plot. Director Leonard Nimoy directs with restraint that is, depending on your point of view, a light touch or a lack of style: There are no glaring errors, but no inspired bits either. His biggest mistake may have been agreeing to direct in the first place. The French film "Three Men and a Cradle," on which this film is based, was a very funny movie. This one doesn't come close. m UNITED OPTICAL SA KNOWN FOR OUR REPUTATION OF QUALITY W lyewecw- CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE Beside Safewav 859-7115 MEADOWFAIR SHOPPING CENTRE No. 1631940 South Ftaser Way 859-3993 OMETHING PECIAL HAIR DESIGN T We do it all... just call 856-1444 27026 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove (NEXT TO KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN) I I I I I HAIRCARE FOR EVERY AGE V^our Christmas draw and win a HAIR MAKE-OVER JOICO stocking stuffers available >.

O CNN NEWS 3:50 O NIGHTWATCH Not much improvement MURRAYVILLE - An application to exclude 95 acres of farmland at 22901 Zero Avenue from the provincial land freeze has been denied by municipal council. Medas Developments Ltd. of Langley wanted to subdivide the parcel into 22 rural lots. In the application it was pointed out that the property "is not viable as a farm (and) would be better used as smaller parcels; has no topsoil." In the summer of 1986, a gravel removal permit was issued. The applicants then wanted to "upgrade and level the land through soil removal (with the) intent to improve the property for farming." The topsoil removed during the process was to be spread on top of the land after the gravel had been removed. "It is too bad," says Aid. Muriel Arnason. "They took off the topsoil, and they never replaced it."

It is a production of the Valley Musical Theatre Guild. Children take the roles of angels, shepherds, wise men, choir singers, etc. The story revolves around a group of "town terrors" named the Herdmans, who descend upon the community church just in time to volunteer for all the lead parts in the traditional Christmas story. Needless to say, no one is quite sure of what will happen in the little town caught in the midst of the bedlam, but the surprising outcome will please theatre-goers of all ages and tastes. Performance times are Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 19 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $2 child, student or senior, and $4 adult. They are on sale at Pharmasave, Nifty Gifts, Thea's Children's Wear, Country Bumpkin and the Arts Council office, or call 854-6282 for reservations. Sedaka still going strong VANCOUVER - Countless hit singles, platinum and gold records sales and a thirty year history as one of popular music's pioneering innovators - these are the credentials of Neil Sedaka, who will bring his show to the Orpheum this Sunday evening, Dec. 20. Sedaka has just released a new album, My Friend (Polydor Records) featuring 16 of his favorite tunes, as a tribute to his late songwriting partner Howard GRE-t ENFIELD (with whom he wrote over 500 songs). Highlights include Love Will Keep Us Together and Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, and some previously out-of-print hits like The Hungry Years. Sedaka started his big hits in 1959 at age 18 and worked in the famous Brill Building alongside Neil Diamond and Carole King, who in the '60s could take credit for most of the top-40 tunes, and the '70s were also kind to Sedaka. As he is also an alumnus of the Julliard School of Music, his concerts often feature some of his classical music influences. I feel I have to be courageous, try new sounds, take chances," said Sedaka. "You have to be willing to change with the times and keep up if you expect your songs to appeal to each new generation (but) I still write to please myself and to top my last songs." His Orpheum appearance will be the last of the City Nights concert series of 1987.

WITH DAVID HOROWITZ © DRAMARAMAS © CONNECTING Topic: rights and responsibilities. 5:55 © WILLO THE WISP For Sydney Walsh, every moment is important By Paul Elie The word on "Hooper- man," which airs Wednesdays on ABC, is that ace series creator Steven Bochco has squeezed an hour drama into the half-hour format of situation comedy. Sydney Walsh Large casts and complex plots, the trademarks of Bochco's "Hill Street Blues" and "L.A. Law," have been trimmed to fit into 22 minutes. And since John Ritter carries nearly every scene, the supporting characters usually get less air time than the commercials. But Sydney Walsh, who plays pushy policewoman Mo Demott, isn't clamoring for more lines. "Are you kidding? I work from 4:30 a.m. till 8 p.m., five days a week," she says. "/ don't think my role is too small." As Demott, Walsh never stops propositioning her partner, Rick Silardi (Joe Bian), who is gay. Their crackling squad- car exchanges aren't scenes, really, but un guarded moments. "I have to seize the moment, do it, nail it and sell it," she says. "Every move, every line is important. If it's just rolling my eyes, it's important." She says such moments are a crucial element of the Bochco style. "With Bochco, A is not just A, A is also B and C," she explains. "Someone dies, and then the camera cuts to a joke. The serious parts are underscored by the comedy." A native of Brooklyn, Walsh studied at Williams College and Harvard University's summer drama program before moving to Los Angeles in 1985. She starred in the slasher film "Nightmare on Elm Street II" (1985), then appeared in the TV movies "An Early Frost" (1985) and "Desperado" (1987), which brought her more recognition than she expected. "I was on line at the cash machine one morning when this woman came up to me," she says. "She says, 'Are you Sydney Walsh who was in the movie last night? You were wonderful! I love you! I've seen everything you've done!' It was unbelievable. / haven't seen everything I've done." Since Demott is always shown in dress blues, her hair pinned up, the series hasn't turned Walsh into a celebrity. "I'm never recognized," she says, pointing to her long hair and cowboy boots. "I mean, would you recognize me?" NOTICE TO WESTERN CABLESYSTEMS SUBSCRIBERS IN THE ALDERGROVE AREA As of November 20, you can now call a toll-free phone number to cablevision service department.

If you aren't sure, say nothing and if the marriage founders maybe she will have the strength of character to straighten it out herself. If you friend Carol has her eyes open she may spot herself what her Romeo is doing. There is still lots of time left before the wedding. Dear Readers, Here is a great recipe for another Christmas treat that doesn't take a long time to make and after trying it the other day I think it's the only way to eat mincemeat. Bottom layer: 1% cups flour, VS cup rolled oats, Vi cup butter or margarine and xk cup brown sugar. Mix together until crumbly. Place 4 of mixture in 9 x 9 pan and press down. Blend 1 cup mincemeat until smooth. (I don't have a blender so I whipped it for awhile with my hand . mixer.) Spread mincemeat over bottom layer and spread remaining mixture, pressing lightly over mincemeat. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly golden.En joy, it's delicious.

Last month she moved back to Clearbrook with her boyfriend and said she was engaged. They plan to have a big church wedding right after Easter and she has asked me to be her maid of honor. Everyone is very happy for Carol except me. Every time we see each other and her boyfriend is there, he tries to come on to me. When he and I are alone he keeps making little hints about why don't we get together because he feels we could really hit it off. Annabelle, I have never given him any encouragement and am very worried that if he is like this now, (trying to two-time Carol) what will he be like after they are married? I know she would be terribly hurt if I told her what he is doing behind her back and might accuse me of being jealous.

The petition reads: "Our healthcare plan is my number one priority. I urge you to review your priorities, to eliminate long waiting lists and medicare deficiencies which have been caused by your budget policies." BCMA president Dr. David Jones said their members are concerned about the waiting lists for heart operations and hip and knee replacement surgery, funding at Vancouver Children's hospital, critical-care nursing shortages, the diverting of ambulances from the nearest hospital, and the implied threat of emergency ward closures. "The government is not responding positively and quickly enough to this deplorable situation," said Jones.

The Centre has weathered the tougher economic times we all shared earlier in the decade, but that's in the past and confidence and strength are the operating words now. The Centre's owners have invested big dollars in new landscaping and facades, and have convinced the provincial highways ministry to install traffic control lights at the Fraser Highway and 276 Street intersection. This long-overdue stoplight will be installed in the spring, according to the ministry. Victor Durman and Malcolm A little bit of the country in downtown Aldergrove. Booth, owners of the Centre " ■ have also seen to the installation of mtia very pretty Christmas lighting system. Those who drive by at night or day will feel the spirit of the season, as the colors glow and lights twinkle (unfortunately The Star's cameras couldn't really do them justice). The owners have shown that they really 'care about their investment in our community and they promised to continue to show their good faith. They are actively seeking new tenants for the Centre, too, of course, and this will come because the Centre does have a lot going for it these days. The location is convenient, parking is plentiful, and shoppers can stroll in comfort under the awni- ings. But the biggest drawing card is the variety of established, respected stores and services already in place. Although Safeway is technically the owner of their own store they do participate in the Centre's joint promotions and efforts, for their mutual benefit.

Jr reader tributor) DE lugs A SHINING STAR by Mary Pan West-Moore. A shining star From high above, Descended to Earth, and entered by heart. It filled the empty space, by blossoming out, With God's own Love. And that was the start. It formed a little seed. The roots began to grow. The plant started to form, And the leaves grew full. Then the lovely flower Began to bloom. It was so beautiful It banished all my gloom. After the flowering, Many seeds were sown. It's simply overpowering, How my heart has grown. I planted a little seed In someone else's heart, to grow and bloom and overpower the doom. The flower began to grow, To take its lovely form. Of God's Eternal Love, To weather any storm. So I pass along A little Star that fell, That took root In my empty heart, And in yours as well. So Merry Christmas Shining Stars, That light up every face, To beautify and purify The human race. The Countryside never looked better From page 17 major attraction for shoppers, with a reputation for value and service in this province that few other grocery chains can match. Manager Don Lapierre and assistant manager Fred Lacey both affirm that Safeway has seen consistent growth in this community, and their service has expanded over the years in acknowledgement. Variety of products has expanded, and shopping hours have been extended; they have an open ear for suggestions from their customers, too. Next door, Countryside Delicatessen offers old-world delights, local specialty items and a lunch counter. You can choose a variety of meats and cheeses, or have a sandwich and coffee made up for you while you sit at a cafe-style table. Elizabeth and Sonya also offer European chocolates and candies for the festive season, along with all the other treats all great delis have in store. Alder Guardian Drugs has developed a good standing with a selection of goods at often unbeatable prices. When you see a special, hurry on down before everyone else beats you to the door. Art and Donna make sure their doors are open seven days a week, so that emergency needs can be met, as well as simple convenience for everyday needs. For a pleasant meal in comfortable and stylish surroundings, the Coachman Restaurant is your ticket. Bruce and Chuck endeavour to offer the largest possible menu choices and daily specials. The kids are welcome, too, and there's a special menu just for them, at budget prices. It's a large restaurant so there's always room, however, as it's never empty they must be doing something right for local tummies. For fast food, the Dairy Queen reputation cannot be outdone. There seems to be one in every town in the continent, but ours is extra special. Chris and Bea know the DQ business inside-out from their years operating the Williams Lake DQ franchise, and they also bring a commitment to community involvement that is truly admirable - they're winning new friends every day, and these friendships will be lifelong. Another old friend is Mama Blades of Atwater Insurance. Her stake in our town goes way back, long before Countryside was even a gleam in an architect's eye. Mama's friendly but ever-businesslike attitude gives customers the assurance of competent insurance services. Get her to check your policy for oversights or loopholes or pricing, and you'll be sure that she'll do the legwork a broker should do. CPM Photo may be a new kid on the block, but. Rod McKenna has years of experience in the photo business. Whether you want just a film roll or frame, or the services of a pro photographer he is your main man here. Countryside Health Foods stocks the staples like vitamins and supplements, dried and refrigerated foods, as well as brew your own beer and wine kits for those folks who like it natural.

Last, but certainly not least is the Royal Bank branch at the far end of the Centre.They are one of our oldest institutions in Aldergrove, and chose to move to the Centre's modern facilities when it first opened. Like Safeway, they are a cornerstone of the Centre and another good reason to do business at Countryside.

Washington Irving (1783-1859) an American author whose father was a Scot and mother English, resided in England in the early 1800's, and wrote some of the best descriptions of Christmas customs practiced in that country. These give us a good insight as to how the festivities took place and was enjoyed. The Christmas dinner that would be given at the Manor House would most likely consist of a roasted pig's head with a lemon or orange in its mouth, peacock, (either roasted or in a pie,) a roast of beef, a roast of pork, a leg of ham, or any other game or fowl that was available. Vegetables, potatoes, and of course, a selection sweetmeats or as known today, desserts, such as mince pie, jam and lemon curd tarts, heavy fruit cake, trifle, and the traditional Christmas pudding. All of this would be prepared without the convenience of electric or gas cooking stoves, microwave ovens and such. The lighting in the homes was by wax candles or oil burning lamps. Imagine the hours of work to prepare a dinner like this! All the family and guest that were invited had to travel by coach, horse-back, or walk according to how far they had to travel. Walking a few miles to spend Christmas with family or friends was common place. Charles Dickens, the Victorian author, wrote many classic books in which he described the hardships of the poor, needy and destitute, and most of his books A Christmas Carol for a Dark Worlds SUNDAY, DEC. 20 EAST ALDEBGROVE VLB.

He also gave glowing accounts of Christmas and the meaning of Christmas, when all men should open their hearts to those not so fortunate, especially at Christmas time. How many of us will watch his "Christmas Carol" this year on TV and will it arouse in our hearts that feeling of goodwill that we really would like to have foremost in ourselves all year round? Let all of us enjoy this festive season, rejoice in what we have. Look back, and reminisce the happy memories we enjoyed with friends and relatives, perhaps no longer with us. Look forward then, to the future of mankind, and hope that the traditions of Yuletide that have become a solid part of life over the centuries will remain for centuries to come. United Way does it again VANCOUVER - It's another campaign victory for United Way of the Lower Mainland, when results anticipated from continuing employee and mail campaigns come in later this month. That's the message from campaign chairman Barbara Rae, who announced December 9 that an estimated $11,624,585 would be raised when all donations and pledges are completed. "Our target of $11,616,755 was the minimum needed by our 86 member agencies and Red Cross to continue providing their services to 500,000 lower mainland people, and we've just made it. Our very grateful thanks go out to all who have helped so far. We can be proud of our community." Rae said. Overdue books will cost more ABBOTSFORD - The Fraser Valley regional library has taken action to combat the growing problem of overdue library materials. Executive director Gordon Ray says that effective January 1, fines on overdue adult library materials will increase from 10 cents to 15 cents per day, per item with a subsequent 50 percent increase in maximum fine amounts per item and total fines charged. Fines on children's materials will remain unchanged at 5 cents per item per day. Ray pointed out that overdue materials continue to be a serious problem for the library with over 1,300 overdue notices mailed out each week. The present overdues processing operation costs about $110,000 a year, money that could be better spent on books. "With one of the smallest per capita book collections in the province (1.46) it is of prime importance that library materials are returned on time so that they may quickly be made available to others. This is not presently being achieved," Ray said. "In 1986 circulation rose by four percent and fines income rose by 14 percent, meaning that the overdues problem continued to increase. We estimate that at any one time some 31,000 volumes are overdue representing an investment in real dollars of $450,000 that is not being properly utilized. "The aim of this change is to start reducing the amount of overdue materials and to make them available to all library users. 1. 3. 5. SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IS A CINCH IF YUU USE THE INCH In times of uncertainty, consumers are careful and a little reluctant to spend. They want to be sure before they buy; they want information. One of the main ways they get information about products, services, prices and values is from advertising. Yours or somebody else's. Maybe you figure other retailers in your line are going to cut back their advertising, so it's safe for you too. Right? Wrong. You're in competition for the consumer's dollar with every other retailer in town, no matter what he sells. People have only so many dollars to spend and if they don't spend them for what you sell, they spend them for something else. Whether business is good or bad, you have to get your share of whatever business is around. Cutting back your advertising puts you at a disadvantage at the very moment you need an edge. Increasing your advertising gives you the edge. You can't do much about most factors in the marketplace - rent, labor costs, price of merchandise, what the competition will do. But one thing you do control is your own promotion. Remember that advertising is hot just a cost of doing business. It's a proven sales tool that returns many times your investment in store traffic and sales. Here's a hard fact to chew on. Over any given period, a company that advertises below the industry average has sales that are below the industry average. Advertising is "news" about products and services, most shoppers look for this kind of news in the pages of the newspaper in plush times, retailers often experiment with other media. But when the going gets tough, they concentrate their efforts in the newspaper because it provides an immediate payoff at the cash register. Choose the only newspaper published within Langley township. Accept no substitutes! The Aldergrove "lllegitimus non carborundum" 3089 - 272nd Street, Aldergrove 856-8303 or 856-5212 -JT Delightful performances THE ALDERGROVE STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1987 21 The ideal gift for any child by RAE FEHR Hats off to the Aldergrove Secondary Junior and Senior Drama Club for their delightful and capti vating performances of two short stories, the nights of Dec. 2, 3, and 4. The New Canadian Kid - presented by the seniors casted Chris Allen as Nick, a "homelander" new to Canada; Lori Rippin as his mother, wanting only what's best for her family but who becomes frustrated at feeling alienated; Elizabeth Hughs as Mench, a Canadian school girl who befriends Nick, teaches him English and teams up with him to get even with the school bully Mug - played very convincingly by Murray Pybus. One minute one was beside oneself with laughter, the next a lump would form in your throat and your heart would go out to the new immigrants in their struggle to be accepted and yet to hold on to their identity. A picture is worth a thousand words and what the cast said with Singers at school BROOKSWOOD - Ttu> secondary school here will host theFirst Capital Chorus barbershop group in a concert, Friday, Dec. 18. 8 p.m. in the auditorium. 20902 - 37A Avenue. Admission by donation (minimum $2 please) and all proceeds will help purchase equipment for the hearing and speech impaired students at special classes held at Uplands and Mountain View schools. gestures and adlibbing was what tied the whole play into one of the most enjoyable 45 minutes for all that was present. When the curtain fell it left you wanting more. The Neighbors - presented by the juniors casted Christy Maksymiw as Grandma, Lara Brodie as Mrs. Abel, Randy Rippin as Ezra, Sascha Keane as Peter, Tia Wautier as Inez, Susan Klassen as Mis' Moran, Shannon Fehr as Mis' Trot, and Nayda Thomasson as Mis' Ellsworth. This delightful play featured neighbors who put aside their complaints and ailments and busy work to come to the aid of a friend. Mis' Moran forgof'how lucky she was just to be alive", laid down her cane and joined Mis' Trot who took time out from chasing buffalo bugs and Mrs. Abel who put her ironing aside to canvass the neighborhood for hand-me-downs. Grandma had a purpose to life once again; Ezra kept his opinions of women folk to himself and Peter and Inez put courting aside to pitch in. One was taken back to where neighbors were just that and eager to help those who needed it. Through the comedy of it all came the true meaning of a friend. A special thanks goes out to the people behind the scenes who kept the stage set and everything running smoothly. Many, many thanks to the tremendous direction of Mrs. S. Anderlini who showed the talent and gave us parents the pride in our children as they reach for their goals. by BARBARA EMERSON A Christmas gift for children that offers hours of fun, adventure, magic, and education, and won't break in the first few hours, does exist. It is free, easy to wrap, comes already assembled, and will be used and useful throughout an entire lifetime, without batteries. It is a library card from the Fraser Valley Regional library. Visit your local branch of the Fraser Valley Regional library and pick up a card for your child, library cards make great stocking stuffers and are sure to bring a smile on Christmas morning. While you are visiting your branch library look for these children's Christmas books. Nothing captures the warmth of the holiday season like sharing a good story. The following classic Christmas tales are always worth reading and re-reading. A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas captures a young boy's view of a Christmas full of relatives, food, and boyhood delights. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is the story of the miserly Scrooge who hated Christmas until one Christmas Eve when three ghosts show him the true meaning of Christmas. And of course no holiday season is complete without at least one reading of "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" by Clement Moore. Some new classics to try are: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson and The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. The first, is a riotously funny story about the Herdmans, "the absolutely worst kids in the history of the world", and how they trans form their town's Christmas pageant. The second, The Polar Express, captures all the magic of the childhood belief in Santa Claus. Look for these and other Christmas books for the whole family at your local branch of the FVaser Valley Regional library.

CHECK LISTINGS FOR EXACT TIME Arrants has conjured up a past for Dr. Lassiter By Marie Michaels The introduction of Dr. Steven Lassiter on "The Young and the Restless" last January reaquainted fans of the soap with Rod Arrants. Arrants had appeared on "Y&R" for six months in 1973, playing a stable boy named Jeff. So it was no surprise when fans celebrated his return as Lassiter. In truth, though, he is best known to soap viewers for the roles he has played in between his two "Y&R" stints. He attracted attention for his portrayal of Austin Cushing on "Lovers and Friends" and the spinoff "For Richer, for Poorer," then enjoyed a six-year run as Travis Sentell on "Search for Tomorrow." The roles of Andre Shu- man on "Dallas" and corrupt police chief Richard Cates on "Days of Our Lives" further broadened his. audience. Creating Dr. Lassiter, he says, was like starting from scratch. "It was a right-into- the-frying-pan experience," Arrants recalls. "I had all the dialogue, because Eileen Davidson (who plays psychiatric patient Ashley Abbott) was mute for a couple of months." Arrants didn't know anything about Lassiter's background, so he conjured up a history for the character. "I've given Steven a past," he says. "He comes from New England, from a fairly well- off background. He's a Vietnam veteran and has a real decent set of values. Whether there's a flaw in Steven's character in relation to Leanna (a former patient, played by Barbara Crampton), I don't know." While he has created Lassiter's past, the future is up to the "Y&R" writers. "I don't know how the Steven-Leanna story line is going to go," he says. "I'm about as well informed as the fans in Des Moines about what's going to happen." Arrants is married to actress Patricia Estrin, who he met on "Lovers and Friends" (she played Megan Cushing). They share their home with Arrants' son, Dylan, and Estrin's son, Zachary, both from from previous marriages. Dylan, now in his first year at UCLA, is following in his father's footsteps. "He studied acting this past summer, got a manager and was signed by my own agent," Arrants says proudly. "He's already going out on auditions."

WHERE ALDERGROVE O.A.P.O. NEWS My dear old marnie! by ERNEST CLUETT ALDERGROVE - It happened in the Lions Grove minstrel show put on by Lou Martin. The show practices were straight forward and the refreshments afterwards excellent. However, all good things end sometime. The opening evening was preceded by getting ready which meant being daubed by an enthusiastic young lady with black greasepaint. I ended up resembling a resident of Alabama via the African Gold Coast with a jet black hue. That was fine. The trouble started upon arrival at home when it was necessary to have a transformation back to the white race again. My wife advised me to use hot water and soap, lots of soap, and no trouble would be encountered. So following her advice faithfully, as all good husbands should, I filled up the wash basin with ultra-hot water, stripped off and went to work. After several minutes of energetic application of hot water and soap I regarded the efforts in the mirror and found to my dismay the black hue had spread over a greater area, and the basin was tattle-tale grey. A frantic application of a face cloth didn't alleviate the problem one iota, it merely turned the face cloth black. A quick sortie to the kitchen for the pot scrubber and some energetic scrubbing certainly didn't make Unemployment my face the answer to a maiden's prayer, but it sure got the scrubber black. It would seem I would have to apply more grease paint and emigrate to Alabama or become a member of a minority race in Aldergrove. However, the dawn dawned! If that gal on television could get her glass sparkling clean in her husband's overworked dishwasher, perhaps it might work! A quick foray to the kitchen and a return to the bathroom with a bottle of dishwashing liquid, a name brand by the way. My idea worked, the grease floated away and I ended up with a face as clean or soft as a baby's bottom, if a baby's bottom had whiskers. Pot scrubber, face cloth and sink became sparkling clean. The situation was solved and I can still reside in Aldergrove. At the weekly dance, prize winners were Del Rasmussen, John Mortson, Mary Peprawa and Meriam Schaefer. Spot prize went to Omer and Marguerite Charles. There will be no dance on Saturday, December 26, or Wednesday, December 30. The charge for the New Years Eve dance will be $6 per person. Doris says she was given a fancy bathing suit for Christmas. On reading the makers' label, it says "Dry Clean Only.". THE ALDERGROVE STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1987 Valley people graduate 27 BELLINGHAM - Twenty-three Canadians were among the 178 graduates who earned their masters degrees and were awarded diplomas at the conclusion of spring and summer quarters, 1987 at Western Washington University. John H. Gaiptman and Stanley E. Petersen of Abbotsford received masters of education degrees. Other lower mainlanders were Surrey residents Sharon Erickson and Ralph A. May and White Rock residents Rod Clifford and Patricia Koretchuk who also received masters of education degrees. The Carols of Christmas, an evening of Christmas music with Joan Danby and Friends takes place in the Langley United Church on December 20, at 7:30 p.m. This is the third year this seasonal event takes place. Joan will perform many old and new Christmas solos while the ensemble under the direction of Nancy Wolchok will perform a selection of carols. The accompanists for the evening will add to the program by playing organ and piano duets. They are Donna McTaggart and Alex Robinson. Donations to the Langley food bank will be received. THE GIANT takes dip OTTAWA - The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent in November, its lowest level in just over six years and down from 8.4 percent in October. However, the actual number of unemployed, not taking into ac-. count any adjustment for the traditional increase in unemployment in late fall, rose to 1,024,000, up from one million in October. Nonetheless, the actual number of jobless was 149,000 fewer than a year earlier and it was the fourth consecutive monthly drop in the seasonally adjusted jobless rate. The continuing decline in the jobless rate suggests there was no immediate impact on employment from the Oct. 19 stock market crash. By ALAN RANKIN I'm a worker in a factory, I'm a toiler in the ranks, I'm the one who curses loudly at the Big Shots and the banks. I'm the one who keeps wheels turning, , , I'm the one who leads them all, I'm the one who brings new learning, Big and broad and strong and tall. I'm a striker, I'm a picket, I'm a symbol of us all, Of the ones who hate the phonies, and will bring about their fall. I'm the one who hails the new life, Hears the ringing of the bell, Ending war and needless slaughter, Which makes life on earth a Hell. I'm a worker, I'm a farmer, I'm the sailor on the sea, I'm the spanner of new planets for all mankind to see. I'm the traveller with a message, And the message shouts for Peace- Calling on all the nations, "Scrap your arms to make wars cease!" — I'm a writer, I'm a speaker, I'm a a singer for the cause, I'm a woman, I'm a mother, and for war I've no applause. I'm a fiery fervent fighter, And the one who loves you all- Loves the cause that makes life brighter, That brings Peace and Joy to all.

Spokesman Jag Singh explained, "The timing was simply unfortunate, what with so many people having company Christmas parties during December, we could not sell enough tickets to ensure a real turn-out." While most people who purchased tickets in advance were provid ed with refunds, six or seven persons could not be contacted in time. A notice was placed on the door of the hall, explaining the circumstances and offering apologies. Singh said,"The event will be re-scheduled for some time in either February or March, but to those who were inconvenienced, we extend our sincere apologies and trust that we shall be able to make it up to them the next time."

How to talk to your dentist (NC)—Your dentist is more than just a fixer of teeth. He or she is a caring health professional, with the information and advice you need to keep your teeth good for life. So on your next dental visit, do more than just open wide. Talk to your dentist, and find out what you can do to improve your level of dental care. ' *fr Vour number one questions should be about your home care. Are you brushing and flossing properly and really getting your teeth clean each day? A surprising number of people don't. And that can lead to serious problems. In a checkup your dentist can tell precisely how well you're cleaning your teeth, and what you need to do to improve. He or she can advise you on how to floss to get your teeth clean . -j,- below the gum line. How to fine-tune your brushing techniques. How to select the kinds of toothbrush, floss, and other dental care products that are best for your mouth. All you need to do is ask. You might also want to talk to your dentist about plaque. Plaque is an invisible bacterial film that builds up on your teeth every day. It's the source of gum disease, the major cause of adult tooth-loss. The way to keep your mouth plaque-free is with a conscientious program of home care and regular,professional cleaning. The point about plaque is that everybody's mouth is different. In some people plaque builds up quickly. In others it builds upslowly. Yourdentist can tell how plaque builds up in your mouth, and how regularly you need check-ups and cleaning to keep it under control. Just as there are questions to ask your dentist, there is information you should be providing, too. Have there been changes or problems in your dental health lately — any sensitive teeth, or sores in your mouth, or pain in your jaw? Tell your dentist about them. And don't forget to mention changes in your general health. Have you been ill lately? Are you takingany medications? Are you pregnant? You should let your dentist know. You should also talk to yourdentist if you're anxious or nervous about having dental work done. Dental anxiety is acutally quite common among adults. Once you tell your dentist about how you feel, he or she will be able to help you relax and be more at ease in the chair. In short, as a dental patient you too have a job to perform. Asking questions and discussing your concerns with your dentist is an important part of keeping your teeth strong and healthy for a lifetime. League bowling at Alder Lanes BANTAMS No.v28.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1987 29 Bruins saw their record go to 6-2-4 this week after splitting a pair of games. Saturday evening the Bruins thrashed Hastings 7-1 as both Wade Van Pelt and Warren Borg had hat tricks. Kevin Haber had a goal and two assists. Gordie Zazelenchuk and Jason Flint both contributed two assists from their blueline position. The game was never in doubt and only a late third period goal spoiled Michael Bennett's shutout bid as he made To parents of my sport I've always been bothered by some of the parents attitudes at games and tournaments. I wonder if parents put us kids in sports for their own entertainment instead of for ours? In a ringette game between Aldergrove and Langley this weekend, I learned that this is exactly why parents have us kids out there. I got to be a fan. While the girls were on the ice the fans (parents) played their own game in the stands and the corridors. They not only viciously criticized and harrassed the opposing players and coaches, they verbally attacked their own coaches and players as well. They bitterly argued with fellow fans in the stands. And of course, they yelled at the referee. In other words, they acted like immature fools. Meanwhile the girls were playing their hearts out. Their attitudes towards one another was competitive but friendly. At the end of the game they shook hands and enjoyed casual conversation in each others dressing rooms Their behavior was exemplary The coaches, bless them, deserve more than a pat on the back. They managed to stay calm and positive in such a difficult and stressful situation. I'm sure glad that these > people coach us kids, rather than those "fools" in the stands. If you ask any of us kids in this or any other sport why we play, we will tell you because it is fun and we make lots of friends. I do not know any kid who would tell you, "because I like to see my parents angry and frustrated." Parents and organizers have the,nerve to keep: asking why we kids decide not to play once we get around 15 years of age. Well, I have stated my feelings, but I doubt it will make any difference. In case it does, I have a few suggestions to parents. 1. Let me play the game. 2. Cheer me on. 3. Let my coach do the coaching. 4. Learn the rules (Maybe then you will understand' the refs calls.) Better yet, learn to ref. 1 know they always need more. 5. Stop acting immature. You would ground me for a month if I acted the way you did in public. Thank you, from a Junior Ringette player. Tweens travel to Island CHRISTMAS OXJNTERAIEACK 1977-1987 POLICE ROADCHECKS DECEMBER 8TH - JANUARY 3RD Maple Ridge showed why they are now in first place as they soundly beat the Bruins 5-1 in a Sunday morning encounter. Duncan Peeman felt the brunt of the haphazard play of teammates as he stopped 25 of the 30 shots directed at him in the first two periods. Bennett, in an attempt to shake up the lethargic Bruins, played the third period. Warren Borg had given Aldergrove a 1-0 lead but Maple Ridge dominated the game and were full value for their win. The Bruins now find themselves in third place behind both Maple Ridge and West Vancouver, the latter entertaining Aldergrove this Tuesday evening. The final game before the holidays and the Chilliwack Christmas tournament will be Saturday night as the Allied Aluminium Products sponsored Bruins host Port Coquitlam. ALDERGROVE - The Tween team, sponsored by Halls Meats saw action on Vancouver Island last Sunday. The girls played a Victoria team in what was an excellent game. Victoria was first to score answered by Aldergrove. The Aldergrove girls never looked back as they tallied up six goals, two by Mutter and Pybus, one by Lusk and Singbeil. Not only did Aldergrove outscore their opposition, they also outhustled them. Forwards Borg and Stookbrooks along with a defense of Sutherland, Hilts, Christensen and Williams played with such enthusiasm, they plain outdid Victoria. Tricia Batt played her usual good game in nets. The team appreciated the good hosting of the Victoria team. They also thank team manager Patty Stookbrooks for her hard work. It was a great trip, including the support of parents and fans. demonstrated by the light steps The team's latest victory was its players. Watch out Seagulls. ROBERT B.

When a nanny's not a nanny A prize for the most egregious instance of public doublespeak has been announced by the Canadian Council of Teachers of English. Each year at its annual meeting, the CCTE will award their booby, prize to Canada's most offensive doublespeaker. Dr. Richard Coe, of Simon FY-aser University, says in a sense, credit for the new award goes to FYed Doucet. . "Faced with the apparent contradiction of Brian Mulroney paying his nanny with taxpayers's money shortly after having criticized Pierre Trudeau for paying his nanny with taxpayers' money, Doucet, then Mulroney's senior advisor, denied that Mulroney's nanny was a nanny. She was, he said, only a staff member who "interfaces,with the children in an habiutual way." The CCTE responded by establishing a Commission on Public Doublspeak. the CCTE says English teachers in Canada have "a special interest and responsibility in the preservation of language as a medium of thought and communication," and a special interest and responsibility for dealing with public doublespeak. "Doublespeak is an abuse of language," says commission chairman Coe, an English professor at Simon Fraser. "It stops short of out-and-out lies, for which one might be held legally or politically responsible." Most commonly, it takes the form of gobbledygook, as when auditors in the Sudbury office of Revenue Canada received a memo «xplain- ing that production quotas were not production quotas but "materiality of adjustments in relationship to assigned work." Doublespeak is often used to avoid responsibility. "An operating anomaly" was the phrase used by Western Co-operative Fertilizers Ltd. while admitting a gas leak from its Calgary plant had caused the noxious cloud of toxic, ammonium-based gas which sent a dozen people to hospital with burning eyes, noses, and throats as well as chest tightness, nausea, and diarrhea. Similarly, Eastern Airlines announced it was in a "flight overload situation" instead of directly admitting it had sold too many tickets on a flight to Toronto. "Sometimes doublespeak seems to be a bad habit of bureaucrats and professionals, who squeeze as many big words and as much jargon as possible into every sentence," Coe asserts. "Jargon has its place," he says, "but when it is addressed to people who don't know what it means, jargon becomes doublespeak." Coe notes that there has been a lot of talk about "functional illiteracy" lately. "One reason people cannot read well enough to function in our society is because corporate and government bureaucrats, as well as many professionals, write things that are unnecessarily hard to read. Documents supposedly addressed to the general public are often above Grade 12 reading levels." Doublespeak is not usually a matter of linguistic incompetence, according to Coe. "Most doublespeak has been carefully and skillfully worded so it will be misinterpreted in ways that serve the interests of the doublespeak- ers, if only by making what they are saying sound more impressive than it really is." Thus it was doublespeak when Robert de Cotret, president of the Treasury Board, described the federal budget in 1987 as "the third year in a row that this government has tabled a set of main estimates where the growth rate has declined. No government has been able to make this claim in almost two decades. We can be justifiably proud of this record, as it demonstrates clearly our sustained commitment to controlling the spending and reducing the deficit." As one journalist noted, "Ordinary listeners would take from that the idea that federal spending is going up slower and slower the longer the Conservatives stay in power. ABy talking about "main estimates," de Cotret avoided mentioning that the growth rate of total federal spending has been rising. Often doublespeak is a matter of misnaming. The government of B.C. recently announced that it will use the term "wilderness areas" to designate sites where it will allow development of mineral and hydrocarbon resources - this despite the ordinary definition of wilderness as land preserved in its wild or natural condition. "Doublespeak is not "just sem- - antics," says Coe, who specializes in the study of rhetoric and literacy. "In addition to whatever deception may occur in each individual case, doublespeak damages our language, damages the words we use to think and communicate." The CCTE's attack on public doublespeak will be twofold, according to Coe. First the commission will encourage the study of doublespeak and the development of auricular materials. "The long- term solution is to educate the public so they are not fooled by doublespeak. Then it will be in no one's interest to use it." Second, the commission will publicize doublespeak by awarding an annual booby prize to Canada's most egregious doublespeaker and a more positive prize to a Canadian who significantly counters public doublespeak. Similar annual prizes are awarded in Britain and the United States. The first awards will be announced at the CCTE's national meeting this summer in St. John's, Newfoundland. "Public laughter," Coe concludes, "is a wonderfully effective antidote to public doublespeak." Big earthquake coming to B.C.? By Hugh Wesfrup A major earthquake, equal to (he one that devastated San Francisco in 1906, may soon hit the upper west coast of North America, according to American and Canadian researchers. Not long ago, scientists thought that British Columbia and Washington and Oregon states were free of major seismic activity. But recent studies suggest that, an enormous geological strain is building up there, which may find its release in a sudden, violent shift in the Earth's crust. No earthquake has been recorded in the B.C.-Pacific Northwest area since the European settlers arrived. But new evidence dug from the ground suggests that the region was rattled by a series of quakes in prehistoric times. Dr. Herb Dragert, a geophysicist at the Pacific Geoscience Centre in Sidney, B.C., is one Canadian looking into the possibility of an impending earthquake in the region. His recent measurements show that an upward bulge is developing in Vancouver Island. The bulge runs up and down the length of the island. It is similar to one that is also growing in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state. Dr. Dragert says the bulge could well be the sign of pre-earthquake activity in the Earth's crust. Just west of Vancouver Island (and Washington and Oregon) lies a 'subduction zone* where two huge pieces of the Earth's crust form a junction. One of these pieces of crust, the Juan de Fuca plate, is plunging beneath the other, the North American plate. Junctions like the Juan de Fuca- North American one are located in many places around the globe. At each, a great deal of seismic activity has occurred, including some of the biggest quakes in recorded history—in Colombia in 1906; in Chile in 1960; and in Alaska in 1964. Quakes occur because the process, of subduction is a discontinuous, jerky affair. One crustal plate gets caught against the other, and an enormous strain builds up until the zone finally jerks loose. Dr. Dragert says the bulge in Vancouver Island is a strong sign that strain is indeed building up there, causing the island's surface to warp. Meanwhile, Dr. Dragert's colleague. Dr. Garry Rogers, has found other evidence suggesting that, even though no recorded history of a major west coast quake exists, the region has been rocked by major tremors many times. Dr. Rogers' research covers Tofino beach, a stretch of the West coast of Vancouver Island. Tofino beach has a peculiar terraced look, which suggests that it has been suddenly lifted from its current position every few hundred years, making way for the formation below of a new 'terrace'. Dr. Rogers thinks maybe regular earthquakes lifted Tofino beach repeatedly, and molded it into it unusual shape. Other researchers in the U.S. have also delved into the geological past and unearthed evidence of earthquake activity there. For example, samples of the earth's crust from Washington state show that the crust there has a distinctive layered look which has accumulated over the last 7,000 years. The layers form an alternating pattern of lowland soils and thick layers of mud. Scientists examining the crust say the Washington coast appears to have repeatedly sunk underwater and been covered in mud before rising again. The cause of the regular sinking of the coast may have been a number of earthquakes spaced several hundred years apart, says Dr. Dragert. (The great subduction earthquakes in Alaska in 1964 and Chile in 1960 submerged large portions of coastline beneath the water, where they drowned in mud. Other evidence shows that the ocean floor of the Pacific Northwest has experienced several giant mudslides over the last several thousand years, These slides also may have been set off by a cycle of major quakes. Dr. Dragert says it is extremely difficult to say when the mudslides occurred, or the Tofino beach was lifted, or the Washington coast dropped. However, if scientists can prove that these events coincided, they will have excellent evidence of a recurring, large-scale natural phenomenon, probably an earthquake cycle, he says. If a quake is indeed in the offing, he doesn't now have enough data to predict when it will happen, Dr. Dragert says. He compares the current research to trying to predict a crime on the basis of a loaded gun. "We have established that there is a gun—there is plate subduction going on. Other evidence indicates that the gun has probably been fired at repeated intervals. Now we have to establish when the gun was last fired and when will it be fired again," he says. He does add that the 'gun' will not be triggered by earthquakes in Los Angeles. "There is no connection between the quakes in California and the one we are likely to have," he says. ,-,, -••**..*•]
