Off PEOPLE WILL MOVE OUT Local tax revolt expected By RUDY LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE - There is talk, once again, about the possibility of a California-style tax revolt in Canada. And the people talking are Langley township's own local politicians. There are rumblings coming from other comers of British Kickboxing came to Aldergrove received by many local fans. Arena, Saturday, and was well- Please see story, page 10. 'Freedom' illusory MURRAYVILLE - Ottawa's new nine percent tax on goods and services, to be introduced in 18 months, may not be all that bad, says township Aid. John Scholtens?- He admits he doesn't know for sure, but says the new tax "may free money from income tax, so people can use it to pay their property taxes." But it is not that he is in favor of Michael Wilson's brain child. The new consumer tax will "hit the poor and the middle class the most," he says. Aid. Aubrey Searle points out that 'tax freedom day' for Canadians this year falls on June 26. When the new tax goes into effect, tax freedom day will be moved well into July, he expects. 'Tax freedom day' is the day when we start making money for ourselves. What Canadians have earned between January 1 and June 26 - every penny of it - has been used to pay taxes, duties, excise and impost fees (many of them hidden in the product price) to Big Brother. Many of the taxes imposed are "taxes on taxes on taxes," says Searle. "H we keep on going this way," he says, "we will have some very unhappy people in this country." Quesnel's mayor, Michael Pearce agrees. In a letter to other municipal leaders in B.C., Pearce says he fears Canadians eventually will be "taxed to death - literally." Columbia as well, and Canadians in other provinces are not that happy either. This week, a local alderman bemoaned the fact that taxes - be they federal, provincial or municipal - are becoming "almost impossible to cope with." The Canadian dream of owning your own home is no longer a reality, said Aid. Aubrey Searle. With property taxes once again upped by a substantial amount, Searle said, people are beginning to seriously consider moving away from Langley. "We are forcing people out of their homes," he added. Searle said senior governments would have to "take a drastic and dramatic look" at the whole tax situation. "Or we will continue to have serious problems." Protestors write council MURRAYVTLLE - They have received calls, and they have received letters. And the local politicians are plenty worried about the public sentiment expressed, as witnessed by then- own debate Monday night. A few examples: Willi and Cynthia Schulz, who live inthe Brookswood area, write: "This year you are expecting us to pay $2,633.02. Are you serious? This amounts to an 85 percent increase in three years. "Our fair (?) portion (of school taxes) this year has been deemed to be $2.50 a day. We could send our children to a private school for that!" Kathy Marsden, also of Brookswood, writes: "Have just received my 1989 ' Please see page 2 Aldermen have blamed senior governments as well as the local school board for the bigger part of the increase in property taxation. Aid. Steve Ferguson put it this way: "The (Langley) school district is rendering total devastation on our tax payers." Aid. Terry Thome admitted that there has been "an outrage from the community" following this year's mail-out of the tax notices. "It is going to be very difficult for many residents of Langley," he said. But, he added, councilors had voted for their own tax increases, and perhaps this was something council should "bear in mind next year." "Our increase of 6-/2 percent is very reasonable," said Searle. VOL. 31 No. 25 THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1989 30 CENTS Established 1957 3089 - 272 Street. Aldergrove, B.C. Cull 856-8303 or 856-5212 "We are up-front with the taxpayers and yet take the brunt (of their outrage)." He named an example of one family with "a modest split-level home" who this year would have to pay more than $2,600 in taxes. Aid. Muriel Amason suggested there should be some relief for senior citizens. "Why should the older person, on a lower fixed income, have to pay the same in school taxes as a younger family with a lot of children?" she asked. Aid. John Campbell suggested that "we may be headed for a tax revolt." It is important, he pointed out, that politicians make it clear to the public that it is the result of too many demands on government which lead to escalating taxes. "We only respond to people's demands," he added. This was echoed by Mayor John Beales. "The community demands certain services," he said "I understand (the taxpayers) feelings, but maybe it is time that we all go on the monthly (tax payment) plan." "It doesn't matter if we pay 12 times a year or once a year," said Searle. "The taxes are still too high." WILSON INSISTS No extra money in tax OTTAWA - Every extra nickel collected under the proposed goods and services tax will be given back to Canadians ~ unless the economy is stronger than expected, Finance Minister Michael Wilson says. Wilson has promised for the last two years the new, broadly based tax applied to almost every good and service won't be used as a cash cow to cut the federal deficit. However, in a report the Conference Board of Canada said the sales tax package will actually provide the government with enough additional revenue to trim $1.3 billion annually from the projected federal deficit. The nine-percent tax is sheduled to replace the existing, hidden 13.5-percent sales tax on manufactured goods in 1991. "What we take out of the economy in the tax will be put right back in the economy in terms of income tax offsets and replacement of the sales tax," Wilson told reporters. But Wilson said the tax could provide a revenue "bonus for the government it the economy is stronger than the Department of Finance has projected. "If the economy is very strong after the goods and services tax comes in, that may result in additional revenues," Wilson told reporters. The new tax could generate as much as $25 billion in revenue in the first year, compared to the projected $17 billion from the existing sales tax. Wilson agreed with the Conference Board report that there will be a short burst of inflation because of the new tax, but "it will be a one-time impact." He rejected the board's contention that the tax would cut jobs from the economy. Mountain Secondary School's librarian, Mr. Lauber donates a pint of blood at the school's first Red Cross clinic.

Powers found to be arbitrary MURRAYVILLE - A recommendation that would give the township's parks manager the author- Shocked... From front property tax notice, and am shocked. My taxes have increased 38 percent over last year. I find it outrageous and can see no justification for it. It seems we are expected to pay urban taxes for rural standards." And Mark Guichon of Aldergrove comments: "I believe the taxes are too high for the services rendered. Poor road maintenance, no water or sewer, no garbage pickup. Nearest fire hall not within the safety zone for insurance policies. No pickup service for elementary school children, no public transit. Not close enough to civic buildings to take advantage of upcoming or existing recreational or other type facilities, except periodically. Property under a flyway (Abbotsford airport) which decreases the quality of living." And then there are all the nasty phone calls.

It could leave the developer at the mercy of the particular mood of the civil servant at any given day, Scholtens said. "We must be careful not to leave matters like this too open- ended," he said.

The new Recycling Organization Against Rubbish represents Langley residents who support initiatives to reduce the waste disposal crisis. With Jack- man landfill nearing capacity, ROAR wants all citizens to become informed of the need for alternative waste reduction and recycling. Spokesperson Judy Parkman says individuals interested in promoting the concept of recycling have been meeting since January and are now in the process of incorporating as a society. According to Parkman, the two Langleys are the only member municipalities of the GVRD that do not currently have any type of organized recycling programs in place. The GVRD is presently studying ways by which recyclng can be implemented in the lower mainland. Parkman says she is pleased that the recently-released GVRD interim report on recycling recommends that "the opportunity to recycle should be assured within each member municipality" and that "each municipality should adopt waste reduction programs." ROAR's stated objectives are to promote the conservation of energy and natural resources through reduction of waste and recycling of reusable materials and to assist' in implementing a comprehensive source separation recycling program in the city and township of Langley. Parkman says her group has been in touch with other lower mainland recycling operations such as the Delta Recycling Society and the Recycling Council of B.C. and is gathering information on other successful source separation recycling programs in North America. Parkman says there is a lot of interest in recycling in Langley and with the present garbage disposal situation about to change, there is no better time to start a recycling program. She says that ROAR is eager to work with other groups and individuals to ensure that Langley has the opportunity to divert the maximum amount of materials from the waste stream.

Next to Goslings. ORDERS FOR ___ __ - _ parties 850-6510 growth, rose only slightly in March. The government agency reported the leading indicator, averaged over three months, rose by 0.3 percent in March after climbing 0.5 percent in February. The leading indictor keeps tabs on 10 important signs in the economy ranging from furniture and appliance sales to the amount of money flowing through the country. Its weakness points to slower economic growth ahead, said Mike Manford, chief economist at ScotiaMcLeod Inc. "Canadians have been spending like drunken sailors for four years and they have run their savings too low and their debt load too high, especially at these interest rates," Manford said. "What is happening is the economy is definitely slowing down." The leading indicator index rose to 144.8 points from 144.4 points in February, the smallest increase since July 1988. But the leading indicator showed a bleaker picture before averaging, dropping by 0.6 percent in March and 0.2 percent in February. The indicator index fell to 144.5 points from 145.3 points in February. Statistics Canada said business investment was still a source of strength for the economy, while consumers, faced with high interest rates, accounted for most of the slowdown. John Crow, governor of the Bank of Canada, has steered interest rates higher to try to slow down the economy to cool inflation. While Manford said the consumer slowdown, as outlined by the leading indicator, may mean interest rate relief is on the way, Boaz warned the central bank's inflation battle is far from over.

On page 3 I find highlights of the 1989 budget. I get the impression our mayor, John Beales does not believe in education; he would rather build runways for himself and his friends. His priorities do not serve the majority of people in the township well. One of the reasons the home owner is paying the high school tax can be blamed on the provincial government, which Mr. Beales and the majority of hs council support. Take a good look at the 1989 budget expenditure pie. School and other taxes 23.4 percent, a long way from almost half. Look COMMENT Canadians don't get government they want OTTAWA - Whether people get the government they deserve, as the old saying goes, remains open to debate. But a new book says Canadians sure don't get the government - nor political leadership -- they crave. The Canadian General Election of 1988, a compact volume published by Carleton Univesity Press and produced by eight contributors, concludes Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his Conservatives won a second majority almost by default. Voters were unusually interested in the November 1988 election and knew, with the focus on free trade, it was unusually important, the book says. But it adds: "They exercised their franchise without relish. Faced with a series of unattractive choices, Canadians gritted their teeth and made the best of it." The book was compiled by three author-editors: Alan Frizell and Anthony Westell from Carleton's journalism department and political science professor John Pammett. It is the second in a series planned to follow all federal elections and also the second of at least four books expected on the 1988 campaign. Three other political scientists were enlisted to write on the parties and their campaigns. Southam News journalist Peter Maser assessed the campaign and Carleton professor Lawrence LeDuc contributed a chapter on historical Canadian voting patterns. Pammett, whose chapter provides the most interesting new data in a book that is largely a repackaging of by-now familiar events and assessments, assesses a follow-up survey conducted with 1,200 of the same voters polled after the 1984 vote. The survey finds that, as a group, Mulroney, Liberal Leader John Turner and NDP Leader Ed Broadbent were the least popular of Canada's political leaders in at least 20 years. The "thermometer" rating -- public warmth to political leaders ~ showed Mulroney had suffered an unprecedented plunge in popularity during his first mandate. Turner was, "quite simply, the least popular Canadian political leader in 20 years." And despite earlier high approval ratings given Broadbent, Canadians made it clear they didn't trust him or his party to form a government. Although a leader's charisma is supposed to be crucial and the leaders's tour makes the focal point of a campaign, Canadians were more interested in the party, local candidates and issues. Fifty-three percent made their choice on the party, 27 percent on the local candidate and 20 percent on the leader. But of those who judged leadership the key, 70 percent made their choice on what issues he stood for rather than on personal qualities. Pammett's study says only about one-third of voters - compared to about 50 percent in other elections - made up their minds on who to support at the outset of the campaign. As a result, the campaign was key and the Tories were roundly praised by Pammett. The early Tory theme of "managing change" helped consolidate support among previous backers who might have been wavering. And the second phase, in which an advertising campaign attacked Turner's credibility, served to bring other doubters back into the fold. again, and we find general capital 23.9 percent (whatever that is). Already they have cut the pie, water fund 19.3 percent, sewer fund 12.2 percent, administration 3.4 percent, police and fire 8.1 percent, health 0.4 percent, public works 4.1 percent, development 1.1 percent, recreation 3.2 percent, debt 1.1 percent. No my friends, Mr. Beales is trying to hide behind the school board. Point your fingers at Mr. Beales and the aldermen who back his policy, and at the provincial government. We can see what is done with the 23.4 percent the school board takes, but until I see on black and white just what general capital 23.9 percent is used for, I still smell something rotten on the hill. TED HANSEN Aldergrove Live and let live Editor, The Star, Sir, Recently there has been quite a controversy going on over a topic in the Lions Grove Estate. This has to do with whether the residents of said complex should be able to have a happy hour where they can sit down and enjoy a refreshment and a visit with one another. I am of the opinion that the issue is being blown out of all proportion both by the municipal council and many of the residents. We were told this recreation hall could be used as our second living room where we could gather to entertain ourselves and our families and friends so long as we did not interfere with other resident projects. The hall is supposed to be private to this complex and indeed is used as such in many cases. It should be noted that all the furnishings were paid for by the residents' association and they also assisted the good old lions Club in financing an annex and covered picnic area. The issue is not that we want to run a pub and sell liquor at a profit; we just want to be able to enjoy some time in our fading years. With the attitude and what some of the reported sayings of some of our alderpersons are, I Doctor supported Editor, The Star, Sir, We would like to thank publicly the members of the MSA General Hospital Society for their overwhelming support for Dr. B.G. Barkman at the annual general meeting, Tuesday, June 15, in the Abby Arts Centre, regarding the review of his cancelled priv- iliges at the MSA General Hospital. Naturally his patients who are taxpayers suffer from the loss of services - lab, X-rays, C.T. scanner, mammography, diabetic clinic, blood tests and so on. Thank you also to the signers of the petition who hope that the fully-licensed doctor for 1988-1990 will be re-instated as a practising physician in the MSA General Hospital. TOM ANDERSEN FRANK KRENN DAVE BROWNLEE TOMLUNN DR. J.E. LUKAS Abbotsford gather they are very badly misinformed or they think all senior citizens have had their time and should be forgotten about. Some seem to think we are all living in a home where we have to be taken care of. Instead we are paying rent and taxes and spend much time beautifying around the complex. Of course I am not surprised that the people in question are ignorant of the situation. After all, this is just Aldergrove. The statement was also made that there was many drinking establishments close by. Yes, that is true but the councilors better acquaint themselves with the prices at such places. Just remember we are on a fixed income and have to budget ourselves accordingly. CLARENCE HENDERSON Lions Grove Estate Issue was ignored Editor, The Star, Sir, The elaborate full page ads paid for by the taxpayers of Langley (?) or the Langley Memorial Hospital Society (?) represent a startling waste of public funds. The Quality Health Care Committee has enjoyed signal success in getting its message across and its issues raised with lots of cooperation from the local press and other media. These same avenues are just as certainly open to the present board of the hospital society. The full page ad has conveniently ignored the single overriding issue of this campaign. The 80,000 plus potential adult voters (in a total population of well over 100,000) are being led by an "anti-choice" board elected by possibly 200 adherents at annual meetings. The lack of any effective opposition to this anti-choice group is based on an almost total ban on any information from the board: closed board meetings; no press conferences; no public seminars on hospital issues; no legal responsibility to the public - Just to their group of supporters at each annual meeting. The Quality Health Care Committee has good reason to believe that its efforts have increased the eligible voters list from 600 to 6,000. The public may be aroused. A. LACEY Langley Care 'bears' at work Editor, The Star, Sir, for your information I have listed below some of what we have done and what we plan on doing. Only we wish at this time we could do more but as the old saying goes "Before we leam to run we must first master walking." Within our own area we have formed a "Pioneer Park Care Group" and started trying to do something to help make movement and safety a first among us. Most of the work was done by volunteers and the cost of materials was covered by the group. There are many further projects within our area that the weather is holding up, but be assured they will go forward. We only wish that at some time when weather permits that more people will come down and see what the Young Seniors do when cases arise. Aside from the above work and expenditures we have also decided that owing to the fact we live in the municipality of Langley and appreciate the services that are availble to us, principally the hospitals, care centres, Salvation Army, high schools .and others, we should show our appreciation. That we are doing at present with donations to Langley Memorial Hospital, Abbotsford MSA Hospital, Royal Columbian Hospital New Westminster, Jack- man Manor Aldergrove, The Salvation Army Abbotsford, Aldergrove Secondary School (to help a girl and a boy who are chosen by the principal and staff). We as members of the care group feel that as time passes we may be able to do much better and will work towards that end. So far today we have given $2,200.00 out. Phone after 6 p.m. 856-1735. "SCOOP" ANDREWS WM. AINSWORTH WM. DAVIES GEORGE ORME FRED WHITTAKER ERIC CHARTERS Pioneer Park Hat's off to 'Grove Editor, The Star, Sir, A couple of weeks ago Langley held a dance for Grade 12 grads at the equestrian centre called the Dance of Your life. It started at 9 p.m. and ended at 3 a.m. My daughter and several of her friends decided to have a taxi home. They phoned Langley Taxi Service who said "no way would they come out at that time." So they phoned Aldergrove Taxi Service, who said they would be delighted to pick the kids up and deliver them home safely; they fully supported the idea. So here we are trying to teach our kids responsibility and safety, and the very people who could encourage and support the kids in responsible behaviour don't want to help, and in our own community too. Hats off to your Aldergrove Taxi Service. Your residents are lucky! And by the way - the kids had a wonderful time. PAT SPINKS 4670 - 202 Street, Langley THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 22, 1989 Councils will co-operate LANGLEY - The Block Parent program gave thanks to its longtime member with an appreciation tea and awards ceremony, last week. More than fifty people received recognition, most of whom do not even have children in elementary school school anymore. Among the recipients were Tracy Hamilton and Corporal Doug Hadley of the R.C.M.P., who are leaving the program. MURRAYVILLE - Council members have agreed this week to "co-operate" with Langley city mayor Joe Lopushinsky and his council on a move to have railway over-and-under passes built in Langley city. They were happy when they heard that the city councilors have given up on an idea to have the railroad tracks removed from the city and trains to Roberts Bank re-routed through Fort Langley. Library 'divorce' on books ? MURRAYVILLE - Langley township will participate with White Rock and Delta in a feasability study to find out if it would be financially advantageous to the three municipalities to divorce themselves from the Fraser Valley regional library and strike out on their own. Langley will pick up 40 percent of the tab, a $43,000 fixed fee to the firm of Stevenson Kellogg Ernst & Whinney. "Why?" asked Aid. Aubrey Searle Monday night. "Why should we pay more than the richer municipalities of White Rock and Delta?" But recreation director Darch Obome, under whose jurisdiction library membership falls, said it "seemed to be the right action." Township fathers agreed to meet with Lopushinsky's council and discuss the matter further. They expressed concern, however, with the estimated cost of the project, some $20-million. "Not a small bill," commented Aid. Aubrey Searle. City council has proposed two railroad underpasses at 200 Street and Fraser Highway, and overpasses at Highway 10 to the north and 56 Avenue south of the city. They plan to petition the federal and provincial govern ments, and CN and CP rails for financial support to proceed with the project. Almost 100,000 motorists use the four crossings every day. Twenty long trains pass by in a 24-hour period, and when the road traffic is halted (often at several crossings at a time) "the general population is at risk because ... emergency personnel are delayed by five minutes or more ... and such delay could be critical," according to the city's resolution. 'Dog Patch' deplored MATSQUI - "We do not need a 'Dog Patch' on the Fraser," Alderman Peary remarked on the subject of floating homes on the Fraser River. The home in question is a mobile home placed on skids, moored just inside the Matsqui- Langley border. The people occupying the home do not have a water lease permit and Matsqui is not about to issue one, apparently. Paul Moritz, city engineer, said Matsqui's problem started about four or five years ago. Floating homes have been moored near Richmond for a number of years; as time passed they kept moving up the river. Council voted to serve the tenants with a notice to relocate, If after 30 days it still remains, the city will move it to an impound in Ladner. The owner will then have 30 days to pay the impound cost; $1,850 or it will be sold. Immigrants arriving VANCOUVER - About 4,800 Hong Kong immigrants arrived in Vancouver in 1988, a year when residential property values skyrocketed. There were 3,300 Hong Kong immigrants in 1987 and 1,000 in 1986. Hong Kong immigration to Canada totalled almost 23,000 last year with half being assimilated in Toronto's big metropolitan population of 3.5 million. After Vancouver, the numbers drop sharply. Montreal attracted 1,300 Hong Kong immigrants while Calgary and Edmonton both had about 1,000. Toxins outlawed? MURRAYVILLE - A move that would prohibit the storage of PCBs^in Langley township was announced this week by Aid. Muriel Amason. Her motion is expected to come before council next Monday night. Recently, Langley city council permitted storage of PCBs in the city. Hey Molly & John Did you know? GRANNY sells GIANT HOMEMADE PEROGI to take home? 856- -0622 Fuel storage a worry MURRAYVILLE - It could be "a retrograde step" to put restrictions on the sale of automotive propane fuel in Langley, Mayor John Belaes warned Monday night. A couple of aldermen had voiced concerns about the commercial storage of propane near residential neighborhoods. The gaseous fuel is heavier than the atmosphere and highly explosive. Beales pointed out that propane has been promoted by the federal government as an alternative fuel and is cheaper than gasoline. It is necessary to have outlets where motorists can tank up, Beales said. Aid. Aubrey Serle was trying to prevent a new service station in northwest Langley from storing propane, or at least move the tank from its proposed location and maybe underground. A report from the township's fire chief, Gordon Yerkie, explains that "propane and its chemically clean associated products need to be consideed waste material by the industry a few short years ago" but that today propane is gaining in popularity as a fuel for cars, trucks, boats, and even trains. Safety standards are now the responsibility of the provincial Gas Safety Branch, Yerkie said. Three minor incidents involving action by the fire department have occurred in Langley during the past decade, Yerkie said. No explosions or fires occurred. A development permit for B-250 Holdings Inc. was held over for one week.

There are specific methods for weight and inch loss that we'd like to tell you about. This is called the art of- FAT BURNING. Many people feel that in order to get results, you either have to starve yourself to death or work out so hard that you absolutely hate it. Actually if your goal is weight loss then exactly tne opposite is true. First of all FAT BURNING is a low-intensity long workout. This means your target pulse should be at 65 percent of your maximum Heart Rate (MHR). In order to find your MHR, take the number 220 and minus your age. Now for fat burning multiply that number by .65. This is the pulse rate PER MINUTE that you The Langley Kinsmen Hut included [above, left] .Barbara hosted the blood donor clinic Lingham, Sheila Langhaug, volunteer appreciation awards.

Correspondence secretary, Ann Sobool sent a cheque on behalf of Bessie Bonar and Mary Antoniska and the other members to Rena Hynds, V.T.E.A. fund-raising chairman. Any individual or organization wishing to do the same is asked to contact Rena at 530-5567 or call the V.T.E.A. office at 888-1262. The Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association is a registered non-profit society run mainly by volunteers who are dedicated to helping British Columbia's physically and mentally handicapped children and adults.

When you work within this target range your body uses a different energy source than when you work harder. It directly uses fatty acids, or stored fat that is then metabolized and pushed out into the bloodstream to be used as immediate energy. The other catch to FAT BURNING is that your workout should be longer than normal. For best results 40-60 minutes four times per week is recommended. By following these guidelines you can obtain optimal results. Now to the other topic - STARVING YOURSELF TO DEATH! This does not have to be the case. It is true that exercise alone is not enough. Knowing how LOW to take your caloric intake is important. The lowest recommended amount of calories at which to lose fat is 1200 calories per day. Below this point your body will use muscle tissue as an energy source instead of fat. It has been found that permanent damage occurs to the organ tissues (including the heart) when prolonged low-calorie dieting is done. If you want to lose weight AND inches permanently set yourself a goal of 1-2 pounds per week and do it the safe way. REMEMBER - You want to LOSE FAT - NOT MUSCLE; so exercise slow and long, and eat at least 1200 proper calories per day.

Revenue Canada and others have tried to estimate how much business activity goes unreported to government and the size of the so-called underground economy. The total federal income tax involved in those cases fell to $5.3 million in 1988 from $13.7 million in 1985. Last year the government prosecuted 94 individual and 34 corporate tax evasion cases. recreation director Darch Obome. "We will be putting in shelves for that amount of books," Obome says, "and if they are not there, we'll know." In other news concerning the public library, Aid. Terry Thome mentioned this week that Langley was one of four lower mainland member municipalities who did not agree with the 1989 budget presented by the Fraser Valley Regional library. He recently spoke to the provincial municipal affairs minister, Rita Johnston and was informed that she had decided with the majority and approved the budget. Langley's township councilors have talked about opting out of the regional library system because they find it too expensive and top heavy in its bureaucratic structure. If they should choose to do so, they would be following the lead of two other Fraser Valley municipalities who left the system in recent years to set up their own libraries. % WORKWEfxR WORLD WORKWEN1 WORLD ft I STORE # 177 COUNTRYSIDE SHOPPING CENTRE 27544 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, B.C. 856-3774 I THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 22, 1989 NO NAME CASE 10T SALE AT lOCKNART'S ALDERGROVE 9.Z-. vau IN EVERY WAY OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK!

Most people are aging prematurely and this deterioration is simply due to inactivity. 80 percent of all people are not happy with the way they look and they think that nothing can be done. 92 - 96 percent of all dieters fail in long term results.

Ross takes his first fall ALDERGROVE - The Arena was the battle ground for world class kickboxing, Saturday. The fights, sponsored by the Gold Lion Martial Arts Club of Abbotsford, began with martial arts demonstrations. Three preliminary bouts followed. The first fight pitted Matt Erick- son of Abbotsford against Doug Shmidt of Vancouver. Both fighters fought hard, but Erickson came out on top at the end. The second match was John Singh facing John Antonio. Singh exploded into a whriling mass of arms and legs at the bell's sound. Antonio took a beating at first; his methodical-technical style was no match for Singh's sheer speed. Somewhere around the middle of the second round as Singh tired, Antonio began to pick his way through, Singh however managed to hold him off for the win. The third bout between Jeff Klassen of Abbotsford and Curtis Turcotte of Victoria, was stopped before the end of the first round. A previous injury resurfaced for Klassen. Turcotte was declared the winner by decision. The half time show saw more martial arts demonstrations, the introduction of champions, and two exhibition bouts. The main event, a nine round Canadian Championship bout between Vince "The Rocket" Ross and Melvin Murray. The 26 year old Ross, from Abbotsford stands 5'8" tall, weighs 147 pounds. Ranked number six in the world his record is seventeen wins, no losses. Melvin Murray, also 147 pounds is no slouch either. Murray's record is also pretty impressive with thirteen wins, one loss. The scheduled nine round bout was stopped shortly after the beginning of the third round. Ross caught a kick in the side of the knee and was unable to continue. Ruled an unintentional foul, Murray was declared the winner by decision. 'Come Grow WfrtHte Something Special IsGoingOn. __ There's something special going on in Campbell RiverJuly7thto9th.

By RICKMEN GILLARD, B.C. correspondent for Wineview. You're probably not aware of it but one of the hot debates going on in the wine press these days concerns the circumstances of when it's legitimate for consumers to send back a bottle of wine in a restaurant. What do you think? When you don't like the wine, do you have the right to send it back. I suppose it has a lot to do with the growing interest and appreciation for wine. But can you send a wine back if you don't like it? In answering this age-old wine question, to send back or reject a Elegant Country .Dining Set in the Heart of the Fraser Valley .Equestrian memorabilia and marine decor create a warm and distinctive atmosphere -the perfect setting Savour the innovative Westcoast cuisine of chef Ken Oddy - his commitment to quality is rt*ftected in every dish.

And it's amazing how many people I've heard say, that just once they'd like to send a bottle back. More often it's a case of revenge against a snotty waiter. But let's assume that's not the case. There seems to be two streams of thought here. And they're naturally in conflict. One group, usually restaurant personnel, say there is only one reason to send a bottle of wine back, when something is legitimately faulty with the wine, like a "corky" wine. Now, the other school of thought, usually consumer- advocate types, feel that if you don't like the wine you should have the right to refuse it, like you would a dish you ordered, but didn't like. Well, in Andrew Sharp's book of wine etiquette there are 4 basic reasons you, as a responsible consumer, can ask the restaurant for a replacement wine at no extra charge: 1) when the wine is legitimately bad, as in having a fault; 2) when having asked your waiter to recommend a wine it is described improperly to you, such as, it was supposed to be dry but is medium-sweet; 3) when a poor quality wine is pawned off as an expensive wine; 4) when a wine is over the hill; it's drinkable, but too old to have been served. Restaurants should not be selling senile wines, unless they tell you so in advance. Now, of course, all of these situations demand some knowledge of wine and a measure of personal judgement. But in this case, it is a situation where the consumer is always right, or should be treated that way, as long as the reason is sound. "I don't like it", is not one of those sound reasons. If you order unfamiliar wines, without the waiter's input or even if you ask for his suggestion you have to be willing to take some responsibility or, accept his taste preferences. But, if you're right, don't be intimidated! Send it back. Hey Molly Let's go to GRANNY'S HOMESTEAD for the PIG OUT Friday nite!

Computer programs for rabbits Master" software will allow commercial breeders to dramatically reduce record-keeping. The program will control feed and track feed conversion ratios, environmental conditions in the barn, mortalities, identifying marks, sex and breed of stock. The second product, a farm development program, will provide the knowledge and training needed to start or expand a rabbitry. Borak conducted a continent- wide survey to find out what information breeders need, and how widespread computer use is among them. The positive results form the basis of his market research. ABBOTSFORD - J.F. Borak Manufacturing Ltd. of Abbotsford will receive a repayable contribution of $33,837 from the federal government. Making the announcement on behalf of Western Diversification Minister Charles Mayer, Fraser Valley East MP Ross Belsher said Borak plans to use the money to develop, manufacture and market two computer programs to increase the productivity of rabbit breeding operations. Company president Joe Borak is a recognized expert in the Held, and has been working on the programs for the last two years. When complete, the "Rabbit Daycare fund welcomed VICTORIA - Carol Gran, Langley MLA, welcomed the recent provincial government announcement committing more than $12-million to day care. Gran said that the $l2-million increase in day care funding will make more low income parents and students eligible for not only a subsidy rate increase, but also an increase in their income exemption level to $300 from $100. Gran, who raised the issue of day care on several occasions in the Legislature, noted that day care providers in Langley expressed their concerns to her about the need for increased funding due to rising costs. "I approached the Social Services and Housing Minister, Claude Richmond, regarding the indefinite postponement of the $4- billion national child care program and the impact this would have on day care funding in the province. I am pleased to see that the government has taken the initiative in responding to this delay", said Gran. In addition to the' $12-million initiative, lottery funds will be made available in the form of capital grants to help build, renovate and expand day care centres. Gran stated, "The government is continuing to build upon its commitment to improving programs for families. It is vital that we ensure funding for day care is made available so that organizations, such as the Langley Family Services, can continue to provide the high quality care they are noted for".

Officials of Bentall Development, The Bay, Dominion Company and the city and township of Langley were present. The first phase will include a two-level 130,000 square foot Hudson's Bay store and about 20,000 square feet for 15 smaller retailers. It will open for business in August, 1990. In mid-1993, a Sears store of about 105,000 square feet and 50 smaller retailers totalling 75,000 square feet will open. Willowbrook, owned by the Bentall Group and London Life Insurance Co., had always planned to grow to a regional shopping centre of about 600,000 square feet, but plans were delayed by the early 1980s recession. The expansion is now feasible and will establish Langley as a major commercial centre.

Couple honeymoons in sunny Maui ALDERGROVE - Gwen Elaine Klassen and Stewart James Schmidt were united in a double ring wedding ceremony at the East Aldergrove Mennonite Brethren church on Saturday, June 3. The bride looked lovely in her full length white satin wedding gown. She carried a bouquet of peach tuber roses, babies breath and greens. Parents of the bride and groom gave their blessing and gave their children to each other. Maid of honor Jeanette Klassen and bridesmaids Denise Klassen both wore teal satin dresses and carried bouquets matching the bride's. Mother of the bride, Joyce Klassen, had chosen a peach- colored two-piece dress with a beaded jacket, cream hat and accessories. The groom's mother wore a light teal two-piece silk dress with matching hat and shoes. Best man was Rusty Hawes from Connecticut. Groomsman was Rick Wilson from Prince George. Candle lighters were Brian Wiebe, Dave Letkeman, Rob Quiring and Kit Moller. Dale Farney and Paul Unger ushered in the guests. The groom sang 'One Hand, One Heart' as the bride came down the aisle. A string ensemble played throughout the ceremony, Art Wiebe sang 'The Lord's Prayer', and Marilyn Isaak sang 'Thy Word is a Lamp Unto Our Feet.' Among the 300 guests were well-wishers Mr. and Mrs. Brian Tracy from California, Mr. and Mrs. Lothian from Scotland, and many more family and friends from various points in B.C. A reception was held in the church hall following the ceremony. In charge of the guest book were Sherrie Williams and Kim Epp, cousins of the groom. Ron Isaak was the emcee. The highlight was a skit done by the 'Koncerned Kousins'. Both bride and groom wore their wedding attire to the Pan Pacific for the night in the honeymoon suite.

Agriculture Tech- Production Certificate program nology diploma student Vivian has been added to the agri- Sam of Chilliwack recently culture training options now spent a three week work/ offered at Fraser Valley study session at Blue Spruce Farms in Chilliwack where she experienced the daily operation of a modern dairy farm. CHILLIWACK - Fraser Valley College is responding to the needs of agriculture students and prospective employers by restructuring its major agriculture programs. Beginning this September, there will be a new look to the line up of programs offered by the FVC Agriculture Department. With a provincial mandate to provide post-secondary agriculture technology training, FVC has been offering a two-year diploma program, equipping students for employment in livestock production, horticulture and management. Several students have found good jobs after only one year of studies and prospective students often ask about one-year training. Agriculture program director, Rose Morrison-Ives, said the College recognizes the need for both the two-year diploma program and one-year programs which provide students with the skills and experience they need for immediate employment. With that goal in mind, the College has revised its agriculture production technology program to give students the option of a one-year certificate in livestock production or a two-year diploma with a speciality in livestock, horticulture or management. In addition, the College will continue its highly successful one-year certificate program in ornamental horticulture. "We recognize the need to be flexible in our agriculture programming," said Morrison-Ives, noting that it is to the College's credit that its agriculture students are so highly employable after only one year of studies. "There is obviously a great demand for students with agriculture training, and we are trying to meet everyone's needs by offering more choices in our programming." Right at home? CHLLLICOTHE, Ohio - Country singer Johnny Paycheck got a roaring round of applause for singing his outlaw ballads to a captive audience - fellow prisoners. Paycheck, who was sent to prison Feb. 7, and country music star Merle Haggard appeared in two concerts at the Chillicothe Correctional Institute. "I was like a kid with a new toy," Paycheck said following the afternoon concert for about 1,000 prisoners. Paycheck, 50, was sentenced to seven to 9% years in prison for her conviction in the December 1985 shooting of a man in a Hillsboro tavern. Prisoners yelled their approval, whistled, clapped and stomped the floor when Paycheck opened with I'm The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised. He also performed Take This Job and Shove It, the 1978 release that was the biggest hit of hs 25-year career.

And, after all, don't we all share fond memories of our little stuffed friends? [Admit it, you still have them!] Nutrition, what is it? A new research may be opening doors for electromagnetic medical treatment for cancer. Already widely acclaimed to relieve the pain of arthritis research continues in the medical field as a general anesthetic and treatment of viruses and mental illness. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has approved electromagnetic medial instruments that relieve pain and promote bone healing. Lisbeth Giesbrecht, a reflexologist and Liza, manager of Alder Natural Health Food store will demonstrate the effective use of magnetic field therapy on June 22nd & 29th at 7 & 9 p.m. They will demonstrate how to use magnetic therapy for people with sleep disorders; relief from symptoms of cold hands and feet; tension; and muscle tightness while promoting clear positive thinking and better cirulation, are a few bonuses of using the magnet. Magnetic field therapy is important to anyone interested in speeding up the recovery process from an injury to bones. Biomagnetism works to regulate and normalize hormone secretion in the glands. The increase of cellular metabolism aids in regeneration as well as in new cell growth. The negative pole energies of magnetism interferes with the nerve cell's ability to send pain impulses to the brain. Anyone interested in this form of healing can see first hand how natural magnetism promotes health and provides energy by eliminating disorder in the various biological systems. The biomagnetic effect on iron and oxygen in the body allows the hemoglobin active movement thereby activating circulation. With the respiratory exchange improved and cellular metabolism activated to increase vitallity, prevention and cure of disease become a natural conclusion. By TIM ATTWOOD LANGLEY - Health is big business. Practically everyone is dieting, exercising, quitting smoking and drinking and attempting to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Remember the four basic food groups? Depending on who you are talking to, they could be frozen food, fritos, those corner- store hamburgers and ding dongs. Or put another way, breakfast is coffee and doughnuts or cold pizza. Lunch is something in a styrofoam container and dinner comes from the yellow pages. Today's fast-paced lifestyles do not always leave time for a wholesome sit-down meal. I spoke with Barbara Price, a nutritionist with the Ministry of Health, in an attempt to sort out the good from the bad. Nutrition is a relatively new science (less than one hundred years old). New results are being discovered every day. Something thought to be bad ten or fifteen years ago, may now be acceptable, thanks to modern science. Starting with breakfast, coffee is okay if taken in moderation. Coffee does dehydrate the system so maybe try to cut back and drink juice instead. Recent studies have shown some things thought to be related to the caffeine may be in the coffee itself. Decaffeinated is better than regular. Caffeine does keep people awake. Try to buy brands decaffeinated through a water process. Most brands are now done this way, but it should say it on the package somewhere. Doughnuts and those great tasting Danishes should be avoided. Doughnuts, because of the way they are cooked and Danishes due to the high fat content. Barbara calls them flour and fat that fluff when cooked. The good news, eggs are not as bad as they were made out to be a few years ago. Eggs are a good source of protein, easy to prepare and a single egg will not harm even those on choiesteral-reduced diets. Bacon is even okay, a couple of times a week. As for lunch, try to avoid deli meats every day. Instead have fish or even roast been or chicken leftover from dinner. Chicken is okay, it is the skin you want to remove. Some sort of fruit is also a good idea, and again substitute coffee with milk or juice. Salads are good, salad dressing is okay. If you are on a diet use calorie wise, items. Roughage and high fibre diets are popular. Fibre and roughage have no specific purpose except they help to clean your system. It is only when things slow down and begin to gather, a blockage or other problem can occur. At dinner time, red meat is not as bad for you as thought ten or fifteen years ago. Feeds and grains used in raising cattle are better than they were in the past and a better grade of meat is being produced. Butchers, too, are taking more care to trim off excess fat. The best method of booking meat is either broiling because it only heats from the top down or in the microwave because it cooks from the inside out. Barbequeing can cause some toxins to form in meat. Gas barbeques are just as bad as regular ones. The good news is the toxins are contained in the charred surface on the outside. Remove it before eating, keep the meat further from the flame during cooking or wrap meat in aluminum foil. Even hotdogs are better than they used to be. Still not a mountain of nutrition, the word here is to buy the best ones possible. When it comes to vegetables, your mother was right, brussels sprouts, spinach and cauliflower are all good and are what the ministry of health calls cancer protecting or non-cancer promoting. Grapefruit and some other fruits are said to have the same qualities. With vitamins, caution is the key word here. Barbara says people have a tendency to run for the vitamin C if they feel a cold coming on, but the best thing to do is eat an orange or drink juice. Strawberries are a good source of vitamin C. Be warned, victamin C if taken in large amounts can gather in the system. There have been cases where people have been admitted to hospitals for gallstones, that have turned out to be vitamin C deposits. If you do take a vitamin supplement find out what your daily input should be according to Canada's food guide and space your doses out to suit. So what is a person to do? Eat a variety of foods each day, even if you do not have time for a proper sit-down, well-balanced meal. It is possible to eat well through sensible snacking. The occasional ding dong probably will not hurt either... Alber Natural IFoobe "The Allergy Food Store" Magnetic Therapy Sleeping System Demonstration at Aldergrove Centre Mall, June 16,17, 23 & 24.

LEHMAN - A serious car accident suffered by Sharon Hubbard several years ago, led to circumstances which resulted in Sharon taking up a new hobby. Sharon decorates eggs from geese, chickens, ducks, quail and even emus. The fragile shells are preserved almost forever. She decorates them with gold and imitation jewels and other materials appropriate to her craft. As she suffered a partial loss of memory, her hobby has resulted in bringing about almost complete rehabilitation. Sharon decorated special eggs for her two children, one with a miniature scene for her son and, one for her daughter consisting of a rhinestone bedecked egg with a butterfly shaped door that opens to show an angel. This one took her many months to finish. Hubbard and her friend Mrs. Wetstein of Abbotsford would like to hear from interested persons by phoning her at 856-7046 and Wetstein at 859-3326 for information and assistance in establishing an egg decorating hobby. Arts Council meets LANGLEY - The Arts Council will hold its annual general meeting, Wednesday, June 21 at 8 p.m. at Douglas HaU, in Langley City.

The 1989-90 executive will be elected, too. Members of the Parents' Auxiliary to Langley Fine Arts School will be in attendance to serve complimentary refreshments. Admission is free. Weaving in silk FORT LANGLEY - Diana Sanderson will give an illustrated lecture on the production of silk, the weaving process, and the design of hand woven silk clothing at the Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre on Sunday, June 25, at 2 p.m. Sanderson is a successful entrepreneur designer and owner of The Silk Tree on Granville Island. Admission is $3. per person. Pre-registration and prepayment are required. Call 888-3922 for details. Good old Vitamin C Vitamin C is considered a miracle by some, a factor in a glass of orange juice by most of us. Probably the best known1 vitamin in the alphabet, good old C is still surprising researchers around the world. Did you know that Vitamin C: - is used increasingly by our bodies when we're under stress. - has been shown to alleviate certain allergies. - destroys a bacteria which can cause urinary tract infections. - may help reduce infection among steroid drug users. - is a powerful agent in inhibiting the growth of tumors. - can reduce the incidence of minor skin disorders. There are probably more things that Vitamin C can do - books, articles and reports on this nutrient abound. So the logical question one might ask oneslef is, "Am I getting enough Vitamin C?" The recommended allowance of vitamin C (for adults) is a mere 60 milligrams per day, but smoking, stress, drugs and other factors can greatly increase the amount of C used up by our bodies each day. Some of the best food sources of Vitamin C are orange juice (fresh-squeezed of course!), green peppers, brussel sprouts, broccoli and grapefruit juice. Because Vitamin C is also available in easy to take chewable and non chew- able forms, many people make a supplement part of their daily routine to ensure that they are getting enough of this all-round vitamin. Strawberry tea time LANGLEY - The local branch of the Arthritis Society presents their annual strawberry tea and bake sale, June 26, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Evergreen Hall, 20355 - 54th Avenue. The guest' of honor will be Anne Morrison, executive director of the Vancouver Arthritis Center. Admission will be $2.50. For information call 530-4057. Clip converts buses for evacuation BURNABY - Emergency teams in the Vancouver region will be able to mobilize hundreds of diesel buses in the BC Transit fleet, as well as many school buses, to use as giant ambulances in the event of a major disaster. This is possible because of the invention of a device that allows stretchers to be clamped to the backs of bus seats. The device, dubbed the KJ clip after its creators, was unveiled by the Minister Responsible for Transit, Rita Johnston, and the Minister of Health, Peter Dueck. The KJ Clip was conceived and developed by Tim Jones of the British Columbia Ambulance Service, North Vancouver, and Brian Kelly and Ralph Kenny from the North Vancouver Transit Centre. "The creativity and teamwork shown by these three men has produced a valuable device that will save lives," said Johnston. The concept for the clips was formulated following an emergency simulation exercise on the North Shore in which buses were used to carry the walking wounded to the hospital.

It was a popular attraction and Joe deserves credit for keeping his cool in adverse circumstances! DESPITE RAIN Country Style Days a success By TIM ATTWOOD LANGLEY - It may have rained on the parade, but Langley's Country Style Days was a hit just the same. Word from the Langley Chamber of Commerce is parade attendance was as good as or better than previous years in spite of the liquid sunshine. Saturday's events at Douglas Park were a bit of a wash out, due to the inclement weather, but Sunday more than made up for it. Crowd pleasers at the park were live entertainment and the Dogwood pace setters displays. Club members ran their dogs through a series of obstacles against a clock. The flyball relay was a crowd pleaser. The dogs race over a series of jumps to a box at the other end. They must step on a pedal which shoots a tennis ball into the air, catch the ball in their mouth and return to their master. The children enjoyed the sand- pile, penny scramble and I think the adults enjoyed dunking Alderman Mike Omeleniac and Mayor Joe Lopushinsky. Most of the concessions reported selling out by day's end.

The evening's master of ceremonies, Trustee Marlene Grinnell said, "both students and staff benefit when people with such varied interests and talents work in our district." The retirees were presented with gifts and given a chance to reflect on some of the more memorable moments of their life and career. Celia Dowding began her teaching careers in 1944 at Tate Creek, near Dawson Creek. She recalls walking one and a half miles to school, the outhouse out back of it and the traditional digging of the path through the snow every winter. Celia has a Bachelor Arts and a Masters in special education. She has been a librarian, and is responsible for coordinating the Yukon teacher education program for UBC, the first of its kind, north of the sixtieth parallel. Her colleages are hoping she will one day sit still long enough to write a book. Harvey Nelson can be called a jack of all trades. Retiring from Brookswood Secondary, where he taught social studies, PE and science, Harvey is a professional bus driver, a tree faller, a Dumb writers okay CHARLESTON, S.C. - The woman who's writing a sequel to Gone With The Wind told graduates of her former high school that failing is OK and that lots of writers can be pretty dumb. "I urge you, with all of my strength, to go out there and fail," Alexandra Ripley said in a commencement speech at Ashley Hall, a private girls' school. "If you're not afraid to fail, possibilities are everywhere." Ripley said that when she graduated in 1951, she didn't dare to dream she could be a writer. "Writers, real writers, I thought were people who were a million times smarter than I'd ever be." But after a few, she concluded that "Surprise, surprise. They weren't all that smart. Several of them, in fact, were spectacularly dumb." The author of several successful novels based in the U.S. South signed a lucrative agreement with Margaret Mitchell's estate to write a sequel to the author's classic Civil War novel. It's due out in September 1990. journeyman electrician and a hairdresser. He can also bench press 250 pounds. Harvey has lead 95 school ski trips to local mountains in the past ten years. Now retired, he plans on going into selling real estate while pursuing his hobbies: jogging, camping, sailing, skiing and weight lifting. In 1970, Glen Pinch received a CP-CN cablegram at his home in Schaesberg, Holland. It was an offer for a fulltime teaching position in Langley. He started working as the librarian in LSS. Being the first person to teach in the then newly-constructed library he recalls walking all the books from the old library to the new one. He is responsible for establishing the current file system, including the vertical file, microfilm section, the audiovisual file and the microfiche. This summer will see him traveling to Hong Kong to continue teaching. Funk and W agnail's dictionary defines "retire" as to withdraw or retreat. That is not what these people will be doing. The rest of the teachers are Merle Jenkinson, Fran MacRae, Prudence Sarju, Lucia Soares, George Stibbs, Dewayne O'Brien, Bill Wooley, Helen Simpson and Richard Gardiner.

BRITISH COLUMBIA ASSESSMENT AUTHORITY 2670A MINTER STREET CLEARBROOK, B.C. V2T 3K2 23-3 LANGLEY - Teachers in Motion are moving very slowly this week, after a weekend of running in the Labatt's Lite 24 Hour Relay, held at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby last Saturday and Sunday. The teachers, all from Langley Secondary, ran a total of 194V- miles during the 24-hour event, raising $18,035.97 for the B.C. Lions' Society for Crippled Children. "We're really pleased with the support the Langley community gave us," said team captain Chris Arcari, a counsellor at LSS. "With this year's figure included, the team has raised over $44,000 ... the past four years." The 24-hour relay is the largest single one-day money raising event in Canada, raising over $1 ■million this year. The event is also something of an all-night party, with rock music, a volleyball tournament, and costume parade, all designed to keep up the spirits and energy of the participants. The 1989 Langley Teachers in Motion team won top prize for the T-shirt design best reflecting the theme of the relay, second prize for the volleyball tournament [the world's second largest one-day tourney], and second prize for the most money raised by a team in their division. "We're already planning next year's relay," team member Pat Rohla said. "Would you like to sign my pledge form?" You're closer to home on our M.A.E There's no place like home - a home of your own! The provincial government's new Home Mortgage Assistance Program - M.A.P. for short - is making the dream of home ownership possible for more British Columbians. M.A.P. is a much improved replacement for the B.C. Second Mortgage Program, which is being phased out. If you purchased a home before June 15, 1989, you will be permitted three months to apply for a second mortgage under the old program. With M.A.P., the government guarantees as much as $12,000 of a first or second mortgage on homes costing $100,000 or less. Some special rules apply to second mortgages. You may be able to buy a home - whether it's single family, townhouse, condominium or mobile home - with a down payment of as little as $2,000 or five per cent of the purchase price, whichever is greater. Interested? Your local bank, trust company, or credit union where you arrange your mortgage will provide you with more information. They will also be able to obtain quick telephone approval of M.A.P. help for you. M.A.P. is just one part of the government's $891 million Housing Action Plan announced in this year's budget.

FOCUS ON A Financial Outlook FINANCE for our Valley Buy annuity while rates high THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 22, 1989 21 CHUCK WEBB ■ a A PRESCRIBED ANNUITY sounds like something a doctor might order. It's a way for retirees who rely heavily on interest income •• often from Canada Savings Bonds or guaranteed investment certificates ■• to get more spending money each month. The best time to shop for an annuity is when intererest rates are high. Many people were conditioned by the Depression arid World War II to avoid risk. In addition to RRIFs they now keep a lot of money in Canada Savings Bonds and in deposit certificates. While this capital is safe and provides income with little monitoring, the interest is fully taxed. A prescribed annuity can reduce that tax burden and should be considered if: • The person is at least 70 years old. Annuity payouts are determined in part by average life expectancy, the older the person, the higher the monthly payout. t The person relies on regular income from savings instruments -- usually term deposits or CSBs. (Those with investment knowledge and ability may be able to get more flexibility and greater tax savings from bonds and equities, held directly or in mutual funds.) • The marginal tax rate is at least 40 percent. The higher the rate, the more benefit a prescribed annuity offers. • The person has enough money outside a RRIF to buy the annuity without it accounting for more than half the total portfollio. As with a regular annuity, you buy a prescribed annuity from a life insurance agent or annuity broker. You give up control of that money, but for the rest of your life receive a set monthly amount that's a blend of interest and repayment of capital. Levels blend With regular annuities, payments in the early years consist mainly of interest that is fully taxed. A prescribed annuity levels the blend so payments in the early years contain a higher level of capital •• which is not taxed. Thus, you get more usable cash sooner. Suppose you have $100,000 to deposit and a marginal tax rate of 45 percent. A 10 3/4 percent three-year GIC with interest paid monthly would provide $492.71 a month after tax. A prescribed annuity for a 75-year-old male non-smoker would provide an aftertax payout of $1,160.70 a month. That difference is impressive, but consider these points: The GIC will mature in three years. You can then spend that money or reinvest it. The annuity is locked in for good at today's rates. That can be a plus or minus, depending on whether future interest rates head up or down. Inflation is a major enemy for both vehicles. Even with "low" 4 percent inflation, today's dollar would lose 32 percent of its value in 10 years. Whether a GIC falls behind will depend on how often its rate is changed and how much interest is lost each year in tax. The annuity is not indexed, but since you start with a higher after-tax cash flow, you have a bit of a cushion. Because the capital is locked in for good and not protected from inflation, an annuity should be only one part of a retirement income plan. GICs or high-grade government and utility bonds keep your capital intact. That's a major point if you worry about future expenses. But many elderly people scrimp unnecessarily on their daily lives in order to protect their capital. Then they leave heirs far more than intended. With an annuity, you trade capital for life-time monthly payments. By preserving capital, GICs and bonds let you leave an estate. Any funds till in an annuity account at death go to the insurance company, unless there is a payout guarantee. Having your cake and eating it too. If your estate is a major concern, you can provide for your heirs by insuring the prescribed annuity. If the 75-year-old male mentioned above passes a medical exam, he can buy a $100,000 policy for $484.20 a month. That would be deducted from his monthly annuity payout, leaving $676.50 after tax - still 37 percent more than the flow from a GIC. At death, his heirs would receive $100,000 - in effect, preserving the capital. If the man is unhealthy, an insurance policy for a lower amount - often 90 percent of the original capital - can be purchased. CHUCK WEBB la a local resident and an Associate of The James E.

COMMUNITY CORE PLAN Conflicting opinions on area growth MATSQUI - City engineer, Paul Moritz opened last week's community core plan meeting saying, "This is your chance to shape the area's growth." The core plan is one of three subsections contained in the official community plan, first drafted in 1980. Statistics show population will increase from 59,000 in 1988, to 127,000 by the year 2006. Commercial floor space will increase by approximately 1.2- million square feet. A review of past development shows commercial floor space is up over 51 percent since 1980. • Concept "A" allows current construction trends to continue. This concept is not favored; promoting strip development creates an amorphous core. Concept "B" (the favored concept by those who attended the meeting), calls for construction in three separate nodes or blocks. Concept "C" calls for one intensively developed area. High- rise construction is used throughout. The intersection of Gladwin and South Fraserway would be the downtown hub. Sevenoaks and West Oaks malls would be the other side of the hub. Mill Lake and Centennial Park would be joined by a series of walking trails and bicycle paths. Modes of transportation are by car, transit and skywalks. Public reaction was mixed. Many of the people who supported concept "B" were also worried that having people in a town square all hours would lead to rowdyism and excessive noise. City administration felt this should not be a problem. A teen centre will be constructed, solving the loitering problem. Buildings in the area will have residential suites on upper floors, providing extra watchful eyes. The subject of apartments on upper floors brought up the subject of seniors living in the area. One resident said seniors would only walk if their destination was a couple of blocks away. Otherwise they would drive, possibly causing the traffic jams the area was designed to avoid. Another resident said he heard San Francisco has adopted a policy requiring all new construction be one-third residential. Paul Moritz said he was not sure if Matsqui's buildings would be that highly residential, but promised he would look into it. The proposed population for the area has residents concerned that city planners asre spending too much time planning where the buildings will go, and not enough time on construction of new roads and upgrading present ones to move people in and out of the area. Moritz said the roads are being considered. Another freeway interchange is planned for Mount Lehman Road. Another interchange would create a north- south flow, where virtually none exists now. Fraser Hwy. is also being examined. ] Ben Hampel, speaking for a group of citizens living on Fraser Highway between Station Road and Mount Lehman, pressed council to consider constructing a strip mall in their area. Hampel said Fraser Highway has always been a slower highway and should not become a freeway. "If Matsqui grows so will Aldergrove. A strip mall would complement both areas." Another group of residents living on South Fraserway are worried traffic will become unbearable and asked a special meeting be held to define future needs. Moritz, responding to the latter request, agreed to attend a special meeting. As for Fraser Highway residents, Moritz said he would not comment on additional construction in that area until after the study was completed. He added Matsqui has enough land in the immediate area for the intended development and probably would not seek more until after the year 2006.

People still remember the time, a few years back, when citizens of California and New England rose to cast off the shackles of burdensome taxes. There were cutbacks in government expenditures, and the peaceful 'revolt' fizzled out. Today it is reported that billions of dollars will be needed to replace the faltering municipal and state infrastructures across the nation. Pipelines, bridges, roads are collapsing and needing replacement. Canadians must learn from this and accept the fact that taxes are inevitable, says Beales.

By MAUDE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - The question I usually ask is what are the seniors doing this week. Well, to tell you the truth I think they have all taken off. The fishermen get that look in their eyes and they are gone, the others are off on bus tours or just exploring the back trails of B.C. So what am I going to write about? Most of the activities are shut down until September, but don't despair there are still the dances and bridge games. The people who took part in the Moonwalk will be interested to know that when the mileage was totalled for our group the results were 525 miles. My walking partner and I think it would be interesting to see how far we could walk in a month; we are considering it just to prove old age is a state of mind. It's when your comb has more teeth than you have and more hair. Some of our members have been celebrating anniversaries recently. Fred and Betty Loucks have had their 59th, Mary and Tom Miller their 40th, and most remarkable of all, Mr. and Mrs. Beggs celebrated their 73rd this last week. Congratulations and best wishes to all. The Blood Donors clinic will be held in the community centre, June 22. The Old Age Pensioners Con- ^p, vention will be taking place in Harrison this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Important issues will be discussed and as a national body our problems can be brought before the government; that is why it is so important to keep our member ship up. The seniors attending the luncheon at Aldergrove secondary in May will remember the vocal •> section of the jazz group, Dyna- mix. On behalf of the OAP I would like to congratulate the combo who were awarded a gold medal at the Musicfest Canada Competition held in Toronto last month. Wednesday's night dance had a good crowd of 59 dancers. Prizes went to Alice Stepenard and Thelma Brunshell. Spot Dance to Dave Lockhart and Kay Hahn. Fred and Ruth Miller celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary. Saturday night dance was not so well attended as usual; sixty-four dancers enjoyed the evening. Door prizes went to EUie Fetchell and Bill Dennis. Spot dance winners Ken Anderson, Evelyn Johnson, 2nd Spot dance Evelyn Johnson and Charlie Milward. Prizes were won by Ann Rube and Edna DeGan. Visitors to Saturday's dance were Don and Irene Yewell from Matsqui, Alice Derelak from Calgary, and Art and Vivian Griffith from Langley, first time visitor Cathie Matt, Aldergrove and Rose Henderson and Elizabeth Mueller from Langley. The Jamboree held Sunday June 18 had some first time visitors; Elsie Bloomfield, Courtney and Charlotte Hull, Maple Ridge. Five bands provided the music. Spot dances were won by Sylvia Turpin and Bill Kowalski, Jack Goosen and Elsie Bloomfield. Door prizes were won by Mitzi Downes and Dick Lockhart. Being Father's Day a special welcome was given to them at the Jamboree. We are hoping all the branches of the O.A.P. will be well represented at the picnic in Wililams Park, Wednesday, June 28 and especially our own Aldergrove branch, who is hosting it. Guess that's the news of seniors for the week. In old times, sacrifices were made at the altar, a practice which is still continued.

Wenman, MP for Fraser Valley West, announced that the federal government will commit $14,967 to fund two local seniors groups, the Retired Fraser Valley Federal Corrections Staff Association, and the MSA Manor Senior Citizens Association. The funds are distributed under the Seniors Independence Program which came into effect in 1988. The proposals received from the Matsqui-Abbotsford area address day-to-day concerns, promoting the independence, health, and well-being of local seniors. Programs which receive funds are designed and run by the local groups. Wenman stated, "The Seniors Independence Program has provided funds for a number of local seniors groups to design and run their own programs. With this assistance, seniors can help themselves to maintain an active, quality lifestyle." The Retired Fraser Valley Federal Corrections Staff Association will use the grant to organize activities including information sharing, fellowship, and mutual support for the 200 retired members and their spouses. Speakers nights and other social events will be organized, and a newsletter will be printed. The 34 residents of the MSA Manor create an outdoor program to include barbeques, bocci, horseshoes, and croquet. A cooking program and kitchen band will also be organized.

LADIES' RECREATION LEAGUE At the half-way mark! ALDERGROVE - Well ladies, we're half-way through the season now. There are only seven scheduled games left with each team having two "make-up" games due to being rained out. Diamonds and Key West have three games to "make-up" as no ump showed up to one of their games. After having played a very "tight" game against the Diamonds, the Angels remain in first place with 17 pts. (8 wins, 1 tie, 2 loss). Diamonds are tied for second place with 11 pts. (5 wins, 1 tie, 5 loss) with the Eagles who have one extra game on them and stand at 5 wins, 1 tie, 5 loss with a total of 11 pts. Following closely behind in third place are Key West with 10 pts (5 wins, 5 loss) and also one game behind the other teams, standing in fourth place are the Nomads with 9 pts (4 wins, 1 tie, 6 loss) and seem to be playing some good ball having won their last 4 out of 6 games with one of them lost due to them forfeiting it. In fifth place we have Langley Hotel with 6 pts. (3 wins, 8 loss). Good luck everyone! Dirt racing Sunday ALDERGROVE ■ Motor-cross returns to Jackman Park, Sunday, June 25, with the B.C.
