■up AHEAD OF THEIR TIME ? Committee delivers verdict By IAN CAMERON MURRAYVULE - Were they perhaps being too progressive? Some of the members of Langley council's appointed 'Residential Transfer Station Committee' think so. But, say one or two of the five committee members, they are not about to change their recommendations. Two months ago, the committee, chaired by Aid. Muriel Amason, was charged with the responsibility of coming up with an answer to Langley's current garbage crisis. Mayor John Beales wanted them to recommend a site for a garbage collector and compacter plant to replace the Jackman dump. Last Thursday night, committee members delivered their verdict in front of Beales and his council. The committee room at municipal hall was also filled with spectators. The verdict: No plant, but rather an innovative program of curb-side garbage pickup throughout the township 91 It's airshow time again A Conair bomber comes in at Abbotsford International Airport, dumping its fire retardant load seemingly on top of a Harrier jet.

Call 856-8303 or 856-5212 Farmers truly mad OTTAWA - "Farmers of Canada are exasperated, and they denounce the attitude of the Government of Canada which is creating a climate of insecurity and uncertainty in the industry." So begins a statement developed and supported by the National Council of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture at its semiannual meeting last week. "This statement shows the growing frustration on the part of farmers," says CFA President Don Knoerr. "They are frustrated by the apparent vision of the future of our industry that is being presented by the govern- menmt. It has dismantled policies and programs which are essential and fundamental to our industry, and has rendered others ineffective. Often this has been Visits to double BURNABY - The number of visitors to Greater Vancouver regional district parks is expected to nearly double over the next four years. Forecasts done by the GVRD indicate that in 1993 visitors to the 16 regional parks in the lower mainland will total about 5.5 million. This year's total is expected to be about three million. done without consulting with farmers." The CFA statement, which has been sent to the federal minister of agriculture and all of the provincial ministers of agriculture, presents the vision that farmers have for the future of their industry. The vision is of an industry that contributes to the economy and generates a fair return to the family farm. It is a diverse industry which provides the opportunity for as many fanners as possible to participate. It is of an industry which is active in all regions of Canada; an industry which provides Canadians with a stable supply of high quality, safe food. "We will achieve that vision," says Knoerr, "with a strong set of policies and programs which will help farmers to realize a fair income, and maintain a healthy rural infrastructure. Canadian food producers must have government commitments in the areas of domestic and export marketing, farm finance, safety net programs, and crop insurance, and in the taxation system. They need strong and effective transportation policies and strong commitments to agricultural research and to the environment." New tax a cash cow OTTAWA - The new goods and services tax will become the federal government's prime cash cow if it has trouble keeping the lid on the deficit after 1991, the CD. Howe Institute said in a study released last week. "Once implemented, the GST is likely to become the government's favored instrument for raising additonal revenues if the fiscal plan appears to be drifting off course," says the study by Maureen Furrow and William Robson. The report is on the government's commitment to bring in the nine percent, broadly based tax in 1991 - which will generate as much as $27 billion in revenue a year - could be used to help control the deficit. Another report by the Conference Board of Canada has said the new tax scheme will give Finance Minister Michael Wilson additional revenue that could be used to bring down the deficit. It's estimated every percentage point increase in the tax will raise an extra $3 billion in revenue. combined with a system of recycling originating at the households. Committee members Amason, Al Vickers, Brian Westwood, Chris Eckert and Pat Goode were cheered several times by the audience, but Beales looked grim-faced. The district mayor repeatedly called on the committee to recommend a site, he was backed by four of his councilmen, Greater Vancouver regional district engineer Len Hayton, and municipal staff. "Then I for one am bowing out," said Westwood. He accused council of having set up the committee as "a smokescreen" to remove public attention from the plant already under construction in south Aldergrove, a charge the mayor denied. Committee members recommended sorting and recycling of major waste components such as paper, glass, metal and plastics starting at consumer level and continuing through township-wide pickup. In Delta, said Vickers, a door-to-door garbage pickup service only costs individual homeowners $4.17 a month. This could be duplicated in Langley, he said, and recyclables taken to a sorting plant for separation and re-entry into the manufacturing process. Vickers conceded that some waste cannot be recycled and eventually would have to find its way to the major GVRD dump at Cache Creek, but this amount would be rather insignficant, he added. Hayton said it was not that simple, municipalities within the GVRD system had an option of transfer stations, landfills (dumps) or incinerators, he said. Meanwhile, the GVRD planners are working on recommendations for an eventual garbage recycling program, but Hayton added that this ' program still could be several years into the future. "Well, maybe we are ahead of the GVRD," suggested West- wood. Comment drew loud applause from the gallery. "We are trying, perhaps, to protect the citizens of Langley from the GVRD," said Goode, and again the audience clapped. As an alternative to the south Aldergrove processing plant (construction of which has been temporarily halted), Vickers suggested a "transfer station on wheels." The municipal leaders, he said, haye "the duty to lead the citizens" toward a better life. To act contrary to this, he added, would "fly in the face of reason." In the end, councilors voted to ask the committee to go back to the drawing board and return with a recommended site for a transfer station within 14 days. Curb-side garbage pickup would not be a feasible solution, said Beales, It would add at least $100 a year to the homeowner's tax bill, he said. "Where did you get that figure?" inquired Amason. 17. Beales said it was "very approximate." "Must be," said Amason. But Aid. Aubrey Searle said the mayor's guestimate would probably be on the low side. At press deadline, it was not known if the committee would re-think its position. Amason said she would meet once more with the four other committee members and ask their opinion. Personally, she said, to recommend a site now would negate the commission's initial recommendation of a recycling program. Westwood and Goode have already voiced similar opinions. Three locales, other than the Jackman Road south location, have been recommended by the township's staff. They include acreages in the North Coghlan, South Murrayville and Walnut Grove areas. Langley city has been ruled out by city fathers. There is "no suitable" place in the city for a transfer station, said Aid. Merv Hunter, who was also present at the committee meeting. And in Surrey they have similar problems.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 10, 1989 SECOND CENTURY Stampede returns CLOVERDALE - Benno FYiesen MP, Surrey Aid. Stan MacKinnon and Minister Rita Johnston officially opened the one hundred and first annual Cloverdale Exhibition and Stampede. The Cloverdale "fair" started 100 years ago. It was the one day out of the year when farmers came to meet their neighbors, check out the new farm equipment and fertilizers. Contests were held to see who had the best produce, livestock and home baking. This, the one hundred and first year, the exhibition begins anew. No longer a local one-day event. People have come from across the country and the United States. A special treat at the stampede, was the RCMP Musical Ride. The ride began more than 25 years ago. The troupe consists of 36 constables, although only 31 participate in the ride at any one time. The RCMP breed all their own stock on a farm in Packin- ham, Ontario. The maple leaf stenciled on the rear of the horse is now done because it is the national symbol. In the days of the cavalry the tatoo was so horses could be identified in battle. The ride itself remains basically. unchanged. The popular dome formation, pictured on the back of the Canadian fifty-dollar bill, has existed from the ride's conception. Officers wishing to join the ride sign up for a three-year engagement. The force is considering reducing the term by one year.

This year's agenda will only take them through Canada and parts of the United States. They only recently returned from Europe. After a term in the ride is over, officers must return to regular duty for a time. They can then transfer back in later as instructors if they wish. Committee out to raise funds ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Revitalization Committee would like to know where all the disgruntled people are who were disappointed that Aldergrove had no Christmas lights last year. They now have a chance to contribute to the cause, as the Christmas light challlenge continues. The businesses are always expected to carry the load when it comes to donations ~ and they have been extremely supportive. As many people are aware, Aldergrove's business community is always there when the schools and other gorups are out looking for sponsorship or prizes. However, the revitalization committee would like to see private individuals "putting back" into the community, too. In view of the size of the Christmas lights project, it's imperative that everyone get involved - every dollar counts. Proceeds from a casino held last weekend in Langley will be entirely turned over to the Aldergrove Christmas lights Fund. This week's pledges - challenges. 1.

BCS* MINISTRY OF SOLICITOR GENERAL Traffic Safety Directorate The Honourable Angus Ree, Solicitor General ■J^fjfl—»- THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 10, 1989 High interest has slowed the economy OTTAWA - High interest rates slowed the Canadian economy to a crawl in May, and there is more weakness around the corner in the important auto industry, economists say. Gross domestic product - the total value of goods and services produced by the country - edged up 0.1 percent in May after robust growth in April and a contraction in March, Statistics Canada reports. "The economy is going slow, slow, slow, and that's about where one would expect it to be," said Doug Peters, chief economist a Toronto Dominion Bank. Bank of Canada governor John Crow has steered interst rates higher since the spring of 1988 to dampen inflationary pressure. Analysts say the economy is clearly slowing despite swings in the last three months. "The monthly growth rate for the first five months of 1989 has averaged 0.1 percent, down from Fires on the rise MATSQUI - Fire chief Les Haagen, at a recent meeting of the fire commission said calls are up twenty-three and a half percent over last year. Firefighters have attended a total of six hundrd ninety-eight calls to date. A total of five hundred sixty-five calls were answered during the same period last year. No reason was given as a probable cause for the increase. Fire protection at this year's airshow was a hot topic. Standard pratice in previous years was for the fire department to send three auxiliary firefighters and a pumper truck. Matsqui Mayor Dave Kandal asked Haagen if three people were enough to properly man the truck and if the truck was foam equipped in the event of a crash. Haagen said the department would prefer to send four men with the truck, but the airshow only wants the minimum requirements. The truck is not foam equipped. The auxiliary firefighters are there to protect the structures, concessions and vehicles. The career firefighters would be called if anything major arose, Haagen said. The fire board voted to insist the airshow have four men on the pumper truck. The airshow pays the men's salaries, and the city waives the cost of the truck. The issue of awarding the contract for the area's new pumper truck to an out-of-town bid has some people a little steamed. Fire officials received bids from a number of engineering firms. The lowest bid was from Hub Fire Engines, but, unfortunately, they failed to meet the department's required specifications. There were two main areas of concern. The department had specifically asked for a 350 horsepower engine, but Hub was unable to meet that because the Volvo chassis they planned to use would not accept the larger engine. The second point, was for the engine to have an aluminum body. Hub's truck was made from fiberglass. The use of fiberglass in firetruck bodies is becoming more popular, but still in the trial and error stage. Haagen said he would prefer not to buy "an experiment" when the truck will be with the department for the next 20 years. 0.3 percent in 1988 and 0.5 percent in 1987," Statistics Canada said. CAR SALES STALL The economy will slow further with a summer downturn in the auto industry, which accounts for a large portion of the country's growth, economists said. The two largest North American car makers, General Motors and Ford, have reported flat sales and lower earnings for the second quarter. Chrysler launched an aggressive $l-billion US cost-cutting drive that includes reducing its white- collar workforce by eight percent by the end of the year. Peters said the auto slowdown - "a big chunk of manufacturing" - is not going to show in GDP statistics until figures are released for July or August. But the slowing economy and weakness in the auto industry is still not enough to persuade Crow to relax his grip on interest rates, economists said. Several signs point to strong momentum in the economy. Statistics Canada reported that spending on new plants and equipment is expected to rise 11.1 percent this year over last year. MIXED SIGNALS The agency also said unemployment fell to its lowest June level in eight years, while inflation climbed to its highest level in more than five years. "We're definitely slowing, but from an absolutely torrid pace last year/" said Mike Manford, chief economist at ScotiaMcLeod. Statistics Canada said May GDP, adjusted for inflation and seasonal variations, rose to an annual rate of $404.9 billion from $404.5 billion the month before. The U.S. government reported that the American economy turned in its most sluggish performance in almost three years in the April-June quarter. But Crow has held his course as the Bank of Canada rate edged up to 12.36 percent from 12.32 percent the previous week. "As the economy slows down, I think it's only a matter of time before we start to see interest rates coming down here," said Manford. "But I don't think rates are going to come down in the next month or so, maybe by the fall." BACK GUARD QUALITY AT SPECIAL PRICES!

Signed: GOOD GIRL and TRACY JANZE 211 - 27411 - 28 Avenue, Aldergrove It was a dark and stormy night ONCE upon a time, a very very long time ago, a teeny tiny furry bear named Norbert Smythe lived with many other teeny tiny furry bears in a cozy cave lined with cupboards filled with honey jars and jam tarts and other yummy gooey treats fixed by Norbert's mummy (who loved him just as much as your mummy loves you) in the middle, the absolute center, of a great big huge enormous forest, and lots of bunnies and squirrels and mice and quite a few lambs and puppies and just a few kittens lived around the comer so Nor- bert had ever so many exciting adventures and all-round fun times; this is the story of frstone of those all-round fun times and if you like this story, you can ask mummy and daddy to buy all the rest of the 47 books in this series. - Gail Cain THE sun oozed over the horizon, shoved aside darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed through the castle window, revealing the pillaged princess, hand at throat, crown asunder, gaping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden amphibian lying beside her, disbelieving the magnitude of the toad's deception, screaming madly, "You lied!" - Barbara C. Kroll My son, the economist By WALTER BLOCK Economists have fallen upon hard times of late. While they don't occupy the low rung in hell populated by drug dealers, pimps, thieves, serial murderers and other such denizens of the deep, it is the rare Jewish mother who brags about "her son, the economist." Consider the following: During the recent brou-ha-ha over the Canadian-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, of all interviewees on CBC and The Globe and Mail, only 2.5 percent were economists, according to the National Media Archive, even though there is no group of professionals who have subjected this topic to more deep and rigourous analysis, (According to a Fraser Institute survey of all Canadian economists, over 96 percent agreed that "tariffs and import quotas reduce general economic welfare".) Several provinces including Ontario already have rent controls and others, such as British Columbia, are now in the process of deliberating their re-imposition and this despite the Fraser Institute survey which shows that over 95 percent of Canadian economists believe that "A ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of housing available." Why is it that economists have sunk so low in the estimation of the public? One reason may be that they have long poured cold water on the schemes of reformers, social workers, clergymen and philanthropists. These do-gooders, often filled to the brim with the milk of human kindness, typically propose a strategy aimed at alleviating distress. But whether it is to raise foreign aid in order to cure starvation in the third world, or to increase welfare payments as a remedy for domestic poverty or to boost the minimum wage level with the intention of establishing a safety net, there stands the economist, proving that it won't work, and worse, that it will prove counterproductive. As well, economists have had the temerity to defend as beneficial to the society such whipping boys of the "progressives" as speculators, advertisers, profiteers, ticket scalpers, inside traders, scabs, conglomerates, slum landlords, free traders, middlemen and usurers. Why do they do this? Were they just bom nasty? Do they get up on the wrong side of the bed everyday? Not a bit of it. It just so happens that the finds of economic science are incompatible with the aspirations of many people. But the same phenomenon occurs n the case of medicine. Doctors, too, are often the bearers of ill-tidings, recommending courses of action that are unpalatable. For example, they warn against sugars and fatty foods, they denigrate cigarette smoking, they encourage (ugh!) jogging, they remonstrate with people who imbibe alcoholic beverages, and engage in unsafe sexual practices. And yet people rarely blame the physician for cautioning against practically everything that makes life worth living There is an explanation for this differential treatment. Ecnomics appear to be merely a matter of common sense, while medicine is respected as an arcane calling. No layman fashions himself as an amateur biologist, and prefaces medical advice with, "I'm not a doctor, but..." Yet we all have strong opinions on economic issues. Perhaps the most telling argument against the economist as scientist, however, is his failure to accurately predict the future course of business events. (It is sometimes said that economists predict only to show they have a sense of humor). The spectre of economic predictions varying all over the map, most of them incorrect, may have done moire to ruin their reputation than anything else. But even here there is a legitimate explanation: the economist can predict of an if-then basis, but he can never ascertain whether the antecedent will hold true. He knows full well that if the money supply is expanded, inflation will ensure. What he doesn't know is whether the bureaucrats in the central bank will expand the money supply or not. The physicist, however is in roughly the same position! Ask him if a hydrogen bomb will be exploded in the next ten years, and he'll be reduced to helplessness. He'll sputter something to the effect, but that he has no insight at all into the question of whether or not it will be dropped. But the economist can say the same with regard to an increase in the money supply, or the impositon of wage and price controls, etc. According \o a Iar^e, hzlhws beak dose to the Senators face.. S-2 Year of environment adopted ABBOTSFORD - By the 1990's humankind will be exterminating one species (plant or animal) per hour, by the year 2000 one every 15 minutes. In the light of this kind of shocking evidence and the growing awareness of local environmental concerns, Fraser Valley College will adopt the theme "Year of the Environment" for the 1989-90 term. "In a general way the College will -encourage students, faculty and staff to reflect on what is happening to our planet, and what needs to happen if we are to pass on its treasures and its, beauty to the next generation," says FVC President Peter Jones. "These reflections will range from broad philosophical perceptions of how we relate to our planet, to specific applications of sound ecological practices in the Fraser Valley region." Among the many projects which are now being planned, two series of lectures will be of special interest. Over the course of the year, a President's Lecture Series will focus on concepts related to the environment, FVC President Peter Jones will pres ent his views of the Judaic- Christian philosophy and its relationship to environmental issues. Four other special guest lecturers in the series will offer a wide range of perspectives on environmental concerns. Another lecture series on environmental issues will begin Wednesday, September 27 at the Abbotsford Campus entitled "Our Common Future: We All Make A Difference". This five week series will concentrate on specific environmental problems and offer a number of practical solutions. The series will include presentations such as "Waste Not Want Not", a look at the problems of garbage disposal; "Free of Air", a discussion of regional air pollution; "One Man's Meat Is Another Man's Poison", an examination of pesticide use in the Valley; and "How Green Is My Valley," a case for the importance of preserving our natural heritage of trees, plants, etc. Wrapping up this series will be a unique presentation called "Dr. Bob Bossin's Home Remedy for Nuclear War." Actor, comedian, musician, Bob Bossin uses music, theatre and humour to take a serious look at the politics of living with the threat of nuclear disaster. In order to make a point of how people can begin to change their thinking and actions about the environment, the College will provide free coffee during the lecture series, to anyone who brings their own coffee cup to avoid the need to add more styrofoam cups to the already dangerous levels of these waste products. The Year of the Environment, at Fraser Valley College will include other special events on the topic, as well as a focus for classroom discussion and projects in many areas. The College will also study environment practices around the institution itself with a view to providing leadership in finding ways that local organization and individuals can become more "environmentally friendly." Details about upcoming lecture series and special events on the environment will be announced in the fall issues of the College's Continuing Education booklet that, will be delivered to'Fraser Valley: households in September.

He stirred many emotions in us - pride, hopefulness and the faith that one day the hurting would stop. These emotions climaxed when Canadians learned that the disease that had sparked Terry's desire to run the Marathon of Hope would now snatch away any dream he had of finishing it. Even though Terry did not complete his Marathon of Hope he inspired us to reach out and believe in miracles. He wrote, "I'm not a dreamer, and I'm not saying this will initiate any kind of definite answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to." It is this ambition and faith that makes the Marathon of Hope a reality today. Every year hundreds of thousands of Canadians unite to remember Terry by participating in the Terry Fox Run. Between the Marathon of Hope and the annual Terry Fox Run, over $72-million has been generated for cancer research - well over Terry's goal of $1 from every Canadian. Terry remains in our hearts as we keep the Marathon of Hope alive, and continue to fight cancer. On Sept. 17, friends and families will participate in the 9th annual Terry Fox Run to keep Terry's dream alive and to help find a cure for cancer. Together we can beat cancer.

Helen started her walk on Mother's Day, May 8, 1988. The cross-Canada trek, from Nova Scotia to the West Coast, spans more than 4,000 kilometres to date. Helen started the walk with the hope of heightening people's awareness of the right to life in Canada. Helen's trip has been plagued with hardship. June 24, little more than a month after starting, she would receive word of the death of her daughter, while she was speaking at a pro-life conference in Charlottetown, P.E.I. "I felt devastated," says Helen. "It seemed so ironic to be talking abut the dignity and uniqueness of life, and then to find my daughter had lost her own." Helen returned home, doubtful she could complete the journey. After a time, she realized she had to complete what she had set out to achieve. The walk began again. Three months later she would receive word of her husband's massive heart attack. Helen abandoned the walk once more. Mother's Day, May 8, 1989, Helen would make her third attempt at the cross-country walk. Throughout the walk, she has spoken to a number of groups and organizations. Among them, the Acadia university in Wolfville -and she also participated in the Darmouth, Halifax torchlight parade.

Smugglers beware! VANCOUVER - One of Vancouver International Airport's most valuable employees is Angus. DENISE WOOD The General Manager for the Fraser Area, George Holmes, announces the appointment of Denise Wood as Customer Contact Manager. In her new position, Denise is responsible for customer contact functions within the Fraser Area including PhoneMarts, Residence and Business Customers, as well as Overdue Accounts and the Customer Administration Group. Denise brings to the position 20 years of B.C.Tel experience in Operator Services and Personnel. BCTel Angus is a beagle, used by the depatment of agriculture to detect food being brought into the country illegally. Three years ago Angus was dropped by human society. A dog with several bad behavior traits, he was considered unmanageable. He was rescued by the department of agriculture, who uses beagles instead of more traditional breeds. Beagles are less intimidating and allow the inspectors to move freely without causing an disruptions. The dogs go through an intense training program, though not to the extent of drug sniffing dogs. The drug detecting dogs are usually only trained to one or two scents. The agriculture dogs must pick up a variety of scents ... Customs officials say the smuggling of food has the "potential to affect more people than drug smuggling. Not to trivialize drug smuggling, but in terms of population affected. A virus from food would affect the entire population. If a Canada- wide outbreak of hoof and mouth disease was to happen, it could cost as much as $10-billion to clean up. The cost could even be higher in other ways, as other needed programs would suffer or be cancelled. The cost of living would rise by at least 10 percent. Customs officials say the usual fruit or food smuggler is grandparents. They love to bring treats to the grandchildren or carry something to eat along the way. Most of the seizures the department does is just a piece of fruit or a sandwich from a suitcase. However, some searches have revealed other forms of contraband. Next time you are in the airport, watch the dog handlers work.

It's the Eraser Valley 24-Hour Dirt Bike Marathon - a challenging event for dirt bike enthusiasts, a fun-filled event for the whole family and a major fund-raiser for the Learning Disabilities Association of B.C. This is the second year the Phaser Valley Real Estate Board has hosted the sixth annual 24-hour charity dirt bike marathon in conjunction with the FVaser Valley Dirt Riders Association. The 1989 event will be held September 16 and 17, just north of Hope at the Giant Mascot Mines 'Tailings Pond' site. Riders complete as many kilometers as possible from noon Saturday to noon Sunday, and either ride as individuals or members of a relay team. The event raises funds through the pledging of individual dirt bike riders, either on the distance travelled, or a flat fee. Participation for all levels of ability is encouraged, with safety a major consideration. There are stringent rules in regards to bike and rider condition and conduct; and organizers provide separate trails for novice and advanced riders. Last year's event, with over 130 riders of all ability levels, raised $28,000 in pledges for the Learning Disabilities Association of B.C. The entry fee for the marathon is $15. Registration forms, pledge forms and event guidelines are available from the Eraser Valley Real Estate Board and it's member offices, or from the R-aser Valley Dirt Bike Riders Association. Supervise kids at poolside Backyard pools can mean hours of family fun, but the Red Cross Water Safety Service warns parents to supervise children constantly at poolside. "A child can drown in the time it takes to answer the telephone" says Steve Borthwick, Chairman of the Red Cross Water Safety Service. "Have a telephone installed at poolside so that supervision isn't interrupted." Borthwick warns that accidental falls into lakes, rivers or pools are the leading cause of drowning for children under 12. "Even if it isn't a day for swimming, if chidren are playing hear a pool they need constant supervision. The pool area should be locked if supervision isn't available." Rough-housing and horseplay can be dangerous, and children tend to get carried away with it without seeing the danger, he said. "While we all want children to have fun in the pool, it's important that they understand the dangers and have respect for the water." Pool owners need to establish pool rules. Another important safety factor is to make sure that pool depth is indicated clearly. For more information about backyard pool safety contact the Red Cross Water Safety Service, 4750 Oak Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6H 2N9. Telephone 879-7551.

Soil removal in park does not upset neighbors By TIM ATTWOOD ALDERGROVE - An informal information meeting was held at Aldergrove Lake's Blacktail picnic shelter. The meeting was to provide insight into the proposed soil removal in the parks east end. An estimated 38 acres will be excavated. The Greater Vancouver regional district purchased the land from the previous owner in 1974. Failing to examine the terms of sale closey enough, the GVRD never noticed the mineral rights were not part of the deal. The rights were later willed to the First Church of Christ in Boston, when the previous owner died in 1981. The church approached Valley Gravel Sales shortly after about excavating the site, but the GVRD stepped in saying they would not allow any soil removal on park land. The dispute has been in court ever since. The matter is expected to be resolved shortly and excavation will begin sometime this fall. The excavation will create three new lakes. The largest will be six times larger than the existing lake. A new network of riding and walking trails will also be created. Some trails will be disrupted, but will be rebuilt around the site. Soil removal is based on a twelve-year plan. Optimistically speaking, Rod Maclean, a partner in Valley Gravel, hopes to be finished in eight to 10 years. Instead of gravel trucks roaming all over the site, a series of conveyors will be constructed to move the gravel to a central location. A conveyor 2,000 feet in length will move the gravel from the site under LeFeuvre Road to Valley Gravel's existing pit where the rock will be crushed and washed before being loaded on trucks. The use of conveyors is still fairly new, but more cost effective. Maclean said, "It is too expensive to constantly keep moving trucks and equipment from place to place. It is easier to bring the gravel to the equipment." People who cane to the meeting did not oppose the soil removal, but expressed satisfaction to see the improvements the park would receive. Monster trucks packed the stands every show.

That year marks the area's centennial. Accommodation, or the lack thereof, was a factor in losing the games bid. If the new bid is successful, athletes would be billeted in local high schools as was done in Surrey. The Community Arts addition, in Abbotsford, may receive $194,000 in upgrading. Improvements would be in the form of a collapsible wall, dividing the theatre in half. A recent study shows the facility has enjoyed increased use since its construction in 1983. Also revealed by the study is the fact that the facility is not being used to its full potential, resulting in a loss of revenue. The problem apparently is, that the theatre is over-booked with groups rehearsing. Groups who would like to use the addition cannot get any time, and are forced to look elsewhere. The collapsible wall, could be removed before the performance. In some cases the wall could remain in place, allowing two different performances to be held at the same time. Aid. Henry Teichrob commented how happy he was to hear the theater was being utilized by so many people. The commission moved to appoint a steering committee to study the proposal further.- Cycling seniors tour Okanagan OKANAGAN - Don't let the grey hair fool you .. that "cute little ole lady" just cycled 50 miles, giving new meaning to the phrase "you're as old (or young) as you feel." A travelling coterie of senior citizens are exercising this philosophy. Cycling to their heart's content, they've rediscovered their youth in a unque and exciting fashion. In 1983, Bert Robinson of Vancouver founded the Cross- Canada Cycle Tour Society. Since then, the organization has travelled extensively throughout various parts of the world. Organized and run out of Vancouver, it's now the second largest cycling club in Canada. The club includes close to 200 members boasting diverse and colorful backgrounds. Banging from the ages of 50 to well over 70, these dynamic individuals share the common interests of cycling, culture, and travel. There's one catch though - you must be retired. Last winter the tour travelled to Cuba for one month. Later in March and April, they cycled throughout South Africa for seven weeks. This season they've planned nine trips to various destinations around the world. According to Bob France, a member of the Society, the seniors have the option to choose which tour they would like to participate in. Everyone travels at their own pace, cycling an average of 45 to 50 miles a day. "I'd say about 90 percent of us had not been on a bicycle since our teens. It's nice to get your youth back, if you know what I mean. We're probably the fittest bunch of seniors around," said France. "There are twice as many men as women, so if there are any complaining widows out there, they should definitely join!" This summer the group toured the Okanagan-Similkameen. On June 21, they began their cycle at France's home, located across Ellison Provincial Park in Vernon, then stopped at Lake Okanagan Resort for morning tea. The resort, nestled in the rugged wilderness, boasts a spectacular view of Okanagan Lake. After cycling through the valley, the group headed towards Lumby to tackle the 4,000 ft. Monashee Mountain summit. For those seeking a week long tour, a local Penticton company, Okanagan Bike-Roads Cycling Tours has the answer. Their biking-camping tour takes visitors to places of interest throughout the Okanagan; you'll see hot springs, ghost towns, historic sites, orchards, vineyards, and many beautiful Okanagan Lakes.

Last fall the province announced that it was undertaking an earthquake preparedness study. At Borrowing okayed BURNABY -The Greater Vancouver regional district board has endorsed requests from Langley township, West Vancouver and Delta to borrow a total of $10.3- million in capital funds from the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia. Langley Township is seeking $4.9-million for sewer and water system improvements. The MFA raises capital funds for B.C.'s municipalities and regional districts. that time the GVRD had completed the first phase of a study on the issue but the next phase was put on hold pending the outcome of the provincial study. However, to date there has been very little progress on the provincial study though the regional district board feels strongly there is a need for a comprehensive examination of earthquake preparedness in Greater Vancouver. In an attempt to get the study moving, the GVRD board will "emphasize to the province the need for a comprehensive earthquake preparedness study and ask that the study be completed as soon as possible." In additon, GVRD board chairman Gil Blair will seek a meeting with Solicitor General Angus Ree to discuss the program and GVRD involvement in available funding grants. 852-6644 LDERGROVE TAXI (1988) SERVING ALDERGROVE.

Agriculture Angus works hand- in-paw with Canada Customs at Vancouver International Airport to sniff suitcases and carry-on luggage for meat, cheese, birds, fresh fruit and plants. Most (97 percent) of what he catches is undeclared. The products he sniffs out are potential carriers of plant and animal pests and diseases foreign to Canada. For example, an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease brought into the country in contaminated meat could cost Canada $1.8-billion in lost livestock exports. Farmers' incomes could be cut by as much as $2.7-billion. Angus was on duty in Calgary during the Winter Olympics and has also done work in Toronto and Montreal. He is Agriculture Canada's first sniffing sleuth, beginning his illustrious B.C. career after he was adopted from a pound. Recently, "Fred" was also acquired by the department and is currently being trained at the airport. AT WESTERN WASHINGTON U. to help find real culprit BELUNGHAM - Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to give her poor dog a bone. When she got mere the cupboard was bare ... The Great Sausage Mystery, Western Washington University's Summer Stock children's play, revolves around the story of Old Mother Hubbard and leaves it up to the audience to decide who's innocent, and who's guilty of the cupboard theft. "This play invites the audience to become an actively participating 'jury' during the prosecution of Mother Hubbard's adoptive 'children' - Dawson Dog, Rhoda Rodent, and Cornelia Cat," says theatre-dance department chairman Doug Vander Yacht. Vander Yacht and WWU alumnus Norm Wasson co-wrote The Sausage Mystery in 1973, combining Wasson's dramtaic sketch of Mother Hubbard and her dog with the work Vander Yacht was doing on an adult play, Rashomon. What resulted was a slapstick comedy that stresses the importance of honesty and fairness, and, according to Vander Yacht "deals with our all-too-human tendency to judge kindly those whom we like, and harshly those whom we do not like ~ regardless of the facts." Mystery is suited to younger audiences and adults. It has been "tested and revised" over two very successful state-wide tours, playing to more than 120,000 elementary school children. Summer Stock '89 presents it like this: Mother Hubbard, a soft-hearted, motherly eccentric (played by Mariette Jones) has left her three animal "children" to guard the only sausage in her cupboard. That night, the sausage disappears. The animals, Colonel Dawson H. Dawg, retired, 98th Bloodhoud Divison Army of the Confederacy (played by Nathan Breskin-Auer), Ms. Rhoda Rodent, a timid, cockney house mouse (played by Stacy Longhom), and Cornelia "Corny" Cat, an aspiring dancer- singer who dreams of television stardom (played by Sarah Overman), each protests his or her innocence. Just when it seems that the truth has finally been discovered, a new witness reveals himself for a surprise ending and a final dilemma for the audience (jury) to ponder.

"About 100 a day," says the 25-year-old recent arrival from Northampton, England. "I'll get faster. I'm not up to Tom Redpath yet." Redpath, 39, was the professional sheep shearer covering the Ottawa Valley, Western Quebec and Northern New York. But when Redpath was injured in a car crash last year local sheep farmers went looking and found Shears in England. Because the work is done only once or twice a year, a rancher never develops the skill of a professional. Shears was quick to accept. "I visited the area a year ago and love it," said Shears. "There are tricks to it," said the six-footer who weighs 200 pounds. "Sheep often aren't co-operative. It involves both style and strength." Youth talent invited VANCOUVER - The Pacific National Exhibition is on the look-out for B.C.'s most talented youth. For the third year, the PNE is holding its province-wide Annual Youth Talent Search, August 21 to 25 at the fair. To make the talent search successful, community participation is required. To qualify for the competition, contestants must first win a PNE-sanctioned talent show held in any B.C. community. These shows are organized by local area arts and recreation centres. The Annual Youth Talent Search is open to B.C.'s amateur entertainers, ages 13 to 21. The competition provides the "opportunity for young people to showcase their talent during the fair," says PNE entertainment manager Lynne Taylor. She adds the fair's competition can lead to other exciting opportunities. The first-place recipient wins $500 and a uip to Memphis, Tennessee to compete in the International Youth Talent Search. Top prize at the international competition is $5,000. Superdogs return for 1989 PNE VANCOUVER - "So remarkably staged ... so enjoyable because of its unpredictability ... so easily marketable ... so appealing to anyone who is a pet owner." These are just some of the phrases one Western Canada newspaper columnist used to describe the popular Real Canadian Superdogs show which will be appearing daily at this year's Pacific National Exhibition. And, best of all, the Superdog show - described as one of North America's most popular entertainment packages - is free! Seven shows will be presented daily in the Garden Auditorium from Monday, August 21 through Monday, September 4. In addition, single shows will be presented on the opening PNE day, Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20. The latter two shows will be presented at approximately 9 p.m. each night in the Agrodome. This is the second year the Maple Ridge Arts Council is organizing a preliminary competition for local talent. "It was very exciting for the contestants last year," says Mica McNeill, an Arts Council director. "A lot of them had never performed before an audience. I think it was quite a thrill for them." The PNE's Annual Youth Talent Search contains nine categories. They include vocal, instrumental, dance and variety; some in solo or group. Applicants should note that groups are not more than four members. The winner of last year's Annual Youth Talent Search was pianist Bryant Olender, 18, of Richmond. Following his victory, he spent six exciting days in Memphis. He speaks fondly about the PNE competitions (he was a contestant both years) saying, "The competitors were nice to each other and the atmosphere at the PNE was great." Olender explains the talent search has opened doors for him and "helped me establish myself as a performer." He recalls that one of the judges at the talent search was Vancouver impresario Hugh Pickett. "He called me about two months after the competition and asked me to play in Japan," he says. Olender is off to Japan in September to play at the World's Fair in Yokohama.

Man returns from 'the dead' EDMONTON - Bill Adamache wasn't worried when his snowmobile quit on June 2, with 80 kilometres of barren tundra between him and his home in Coppermine, N.W.T. Adamache, the 30-year-old recreation manager for the small hamlet 500 kilometres north of Yellowknife, wasn't even concerned after spending nine days in the wilderness without food. But when he staggered into an empty cabin almost two weeks later and turned on the radio he heard something that really worried him. "I turned on the radio and they were advertising my job as open," he said in a telephone interview from Coppermine. "I said: 'Gee, what's going on here, y'know? I've only been gone two weeks and my job's on the radio already." Adamache walked another few kilometres to a nearby fishing camp, caught a ride into Coppermine and discovered police had listed him as dead. There had even been a memorial service. "People were telling me that a few days earlier they'd had a memorial service for tne and everything," he yukked. "I was really impressed ... It made me feel a lot better that I was able to disappoint a few people." His troubles started when he went out for a short trip on his snowmobile and found himself _\___W4___\ ■ a. ■ It's a Moving World! And we are here to serve its moving population.

"I was going to go out just for the evening ... but I ended up out there for two full weeks," Adamache said. He admitted with a laugh that he had a bit of trouble doing it. While RCMP and volunteers were combing the tundra east of Coppermine, Adamache was alone, on foot and without supplies on the open wilderness north of the community. "They were searching for six days and it was a good search - they were just looking in the wrong place." Even though he returned to find his personal belongings cleared out of his home, Adamache is laughing off the whole affair. His only gripe was leaving his beloved snowmobile abandoned -- "It's still sitting there on the tundra," he grumbled. Naturalists plan field trip By JUNE CLEGHORN LANGLEY - Gerry Langtry was elected president of the Langley Field Naturalists at the annual meeting in June. Mary Remple and Peg Grant will continue as secretary and treasurer, respectively. The new executive has been busy throughout the summer making preparations to host the fall meeting of the Federation of B.C. Naturalists at the Aldergrove Motor Inn on the Thanksgiving weekend in October. Also at the June meeting, Quirien Mulder ten Kate, a member of the club who was a volunteer observer of the orcas in the Johnstone Strait last summer gave an interesting presentation on these fascinating mammals. The beauty of the area and the individual variations of the whales were illustrated with slides. Judy Parkman gave a talk on recycling to bring the evening to a close. The June 14 evening walk was to the Fbrslund-Watson nature preserve where some work was done clearing the trails. The group met at the barn and two young coyotes were sighted in the meadow near the trees. The ripening cherries on the trees were enjoyed at the end of the evening. On June 24, hog fuel was spread on the path around the lagoon. The work party sighted a bald eagle and an osprey fishing in the lagoon as well as the usual contingent of Canada geese and mallard ducks. The Wednesday evening walks continue, on August 9 the destination will be Derby Reach Park, meet at 7 p.m. at the parking lot if you plan to attend. A pot luck supper to wind up the summer's activities will be held at Evelyn Oberg's education centre. Vegetarian dishes only, please. The next field trip will be Saturday, September 9 to Pacific Spirit Park. Phone Quirien at 856-7296 or Dan Remple at 581-6932 if you plan to attend. The next meeting will be September 15 at the Langley Music School at 7:30 p.m. The topic will be "Travel along the Dempster Highway and to the Yukon." Syd Canning, curator at UBC, will be the guest speaker. Call 530-0860, if you wish further information. Midden to be uncovered CRESCENT BEACH - U.B.C. archaeologists are currently working at Crescent Beach and invite the public to visit this summer's archaeological dig for a short tour and talk on the prehistory of the area. About 18 hectares of Crescent Beach forms a prehistoric shell midden used for over 3,500 years by the ancestors of the Coast Salish. The site is thought to have been used as a spring and summer fishing and shellfish harvesting camp. This summer's excavation is focused on the oldest section of the site dated to 2300 B.C. After many weeks of digging through disturbed deposits, last week the U.B.C. archaeology crew at last uncovered the two to three thousand year old prehistoric layer that is the object of their I- X ALDERGROVE - Climb A Tall Mountain is a beautiful motion picture filmed in a tiny village high in the Swiss Alps, to be shown at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 12 and 13, at the Aldergrove Gospel Chapel.

That's one half of the food that is ingested in one day. When you look at your diet in this way it is easy to see that all calories are not the same. Fat has 9 calories per gram compared to a carbohydrate which has only 4 calories per gram. When looking at the amount of food that can be consumed when comparing fat to carbohydrates, the picture becomes even clearer. You could eat 4 cups of vegetables which are carbohydrates, compared to one 3 ounce hamburger patty, which is made up of protein and fat. What this means is that a person that eats large quantities of vegetables is unlikely to consume as many calories as a person who eats the same quantity of food only in the concentrated form of fatty meat. At this rate the meat eating person may consume 4 times the amount of calories and still not feel comfortably full. Fat is also more easily stored in your body as fat than carbohydrates, your body has to put food through several processes in order to store it. Carbohydrates have to be broken down into glucose and then carried through the blood stream to be used as immediate energy, what isn't used gets stored as fat. Fat calories are more easily stored as fat because it doesn't have to be taken through the same process before it enters the blood stream, it's carried through the blood and is then deposited for storage if not used right away. Another drawback to eating many fat calories is that your body doesn't use us as much energy to process a fat as it does to process a carbohydrate. Over consumption of fat is thought to contribute to peoples susceptibility to cancer, and fat and cholesterol may both contribute to heart and artery disease. Here are some guidelines from the prudent diet recommended by the Heart Foundation that will help to lower the fat content in your diet. - limit your intake of meat, seafood and poultry to no more than 5-7 ounces per day. - Use chicken or turkey (without skin) or fish in most of your main meals. - Choose lean cuts of meat, trim all the fat you can see, and throw away the fat that cooks out of the meat. - Substitute meatless or low- meat main dishes for regular entrees. - Use no more than a total of 5-8 teaspoons of fats and oils per day for cooking, baking and salads. - Use low-fat dairy products. To help control your cholesterol intake: - Use no more than two egg yolks a week including those used in cooking. • Limit your use of shrimp, lobster, sardines and organ meats. Overall, a healthy diet and an active lifestyle will prolong your life and make it more enjoyable.

Several sites in violation Worlds oldest youth food Bee pollen is one of the world's . oldest youth foods, ft is now being recognized by scientists throughout the world as a substance that can help promote youthful feeling, build resistance to ailments, help boost healing powers and provide dynamic energy. The scientific discovery of the youth-building powers of bee pollen in the current century was made some three decades ago by Russian biologist and experimental botanist, Tsitsin. When Professor Nicolai Vasil- ievich Tsitsin, a biologist and experimental botanist associated with the Longevity Institute of the U.S.S.R, did a study of centenarians in the Caucasus mountains of the Russian province of Georgia, he was looking for the common bond that had many Georgians living past 100 years and some reaching as high as 150 years old. Dr. Tsitsin discovered that these oldsters were mostly beekeepers with products from the beehive being their principal food. They kept the raw, unprocessed honey for themselves, and sold off the clear, so-called "pure" honey. Knowlingly or not, they were incorporating one of nature's richest and most nutritionally packed foods into their own diet. It's a food Russia routinely includes as nourishment for that country's competitive international athletes. Pollen is known to contain 16 different Vitamins, including B12, 16 minerals, 21 enzymes and coenzymes, all 18 amino acids and many other elements, not yet sufficiently investigated. The protein content of pollen varies from 15 to 35 percent depending on floral sources. Pollen comes in all colors and taste varieties like herbs, from bitter to sweet, but all pollens are valuable. It is the richest food with the smallest volume since it contains, when properly dried, only 4 percent moisture. One pound of pollen is comparable in its nutritional value to about 15 pounds of fresh vegetables, salads and fruits or in regard to its proteins with about j five pounds of beef, 32 grams or 2 flat tablespoons of pollen would cover the daily requirements of a person in regard to essential proteins. This is especially interesting to know for people living on a vegetarian diet. Bee pollen is a pure unprocessed substance of 100 percent plant origin, produced by the flowers of herbs, plants and trees, and collected by honeybees with no man-made additives or preservatives. One of nature's greatest gifts to mankind. Many American athletes and Olympic stars depend on honeybee pollen. Muhammed Ali, former heavyweight boxing champion of the world, popped down the pellets during till the years he was actively defending his title. Steve Riddick, U.S. gold medalist n the 1976 Olympics, drank the bee*, pollen in milkshakes and vegetable juice. Honeybee pollen has the potential to contribute as a major food source for humans. It is a most nutritionally complete food with literally no ill side effects. After the 1972 Olympics at Munich, it was revealed that Finland's Lasse Viren, winner of the 5,000 meter and 10,000 meter track event, had been eating honeybee pollen regularly for years. Between training and competitions, every day he swallows four to ten capsules containing the pollen. Now, all of the Finnish team take honeybee pollen regularly. They sprinkle it on their morning cereal, slip it into tall glasses of freshly squeezed fruit juice, pop it into their mouths as been pollen pellets, spread it as a honey paste on whole grain bread, or take it in tablet form along with their daily quota of vitamins and minerals. VANCOUVER - At least 25 federal PCB storage sites in British Columbia still do not comply with federal regulations, despite tough measures to combat violators. "Yes, some are still getting their fencing up and doing what they have to do," said Earle Anthony, regional director- general for Environment Canada. "But they're all aware ... and they're actively putting it in place." In September 1988, former federal environment minister Tom McMillan issued an interim order under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act regarding storage sites for cancer-causing polychlorinated biphenyls, "regardless of location or ownership." B.C. Environment Minister Bruce Strachan also said at the time that federal action would complement existing provincial laws stipulating fines of up to $50,000 and up to six months in jail for violators. Despite tough talk about heavy fines and jail sentences, no charges have been laid, well past the 180-day deadline.

Research has uncovered some startling facts about the long-term effects of the sun's rays on the skin. Medical experts have known since the 1950's that overexposure to the sun can cause skin cancer. Statistics show that 23 percent of the people who developed a malignant melanoma (a fast-growing, potentially fatal form of skin cancer) dies, because the cancer progressed beyond the possibility of treatment. And now doctors are saving skin cancer has become widespread - it is now the most common form of cancer - and is posing a serious health hazard. How serious? According to experts, among the 40,000 cases of skin cancer that were diagnosed in Canada in 1988, 2,200 were melanoma. Of these victims, 500 will die. In the 1930's, the incidence of melanoma among Canadians was about one in 10,000. Now, about one in 150 Canadians will develop skin cancer by age 70. Recognizing the dangers, delegates to the annual meeting of the Registered Nurses Association of B.C. voted May 5 to ask the Ministry of Health to develop education progams to make people more aware of the relationship between exposure to the sun and skin disease. Members of the association's Vemon Chapter, who sponsored the resolution, stress the health risks associated with exposure to the sun. They explain that of the three ultraviolet rays produced by the sun, Ultraviolet A and Ultraviolet B (UVA and UVB) penetrate the skin. Sun protection products and sun tanning equipment lamps and salons have traditionally considered the effects of UVB and ignored UVA, since the effects of UVB were obvious burning and wrinkling. However, it is now realized that UVA is also dangerous. Unlike UVB, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. UVA hangs around all day. And it's strong all year round, not just in summer, like UVB. Sun protection products focus on blocking UVB, allowing for extended periods of exposure with virtually no symptoms. But this is false protection. Researchers have found that UVA can have some devastating effects on your skin. UVA actually weakens the skin cells and supresses the immune system. Nurses say,the public needs to be educated on the proper use of sun-screens with adequate sun proteciton factors (SPF); the need to protect eyes with UVA- and UVB-proof sunglasses; and, the devastating effects that a so- called "healthy tan" is capable of producing. The nurses offer several recommendations that will help minimize sun damage to the skin. Use a sunscreen with the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) appropriate to your skin type. For those who bum easily, this means an SPF of fifteen or greater. For people with skin that bums frequently and tans lightly, the SPF should be between eight and fifteen. And SPF of six is usually effective for those with dark skin that tans easily and doesn't bum. To be safe, however, everyone should use protection between eight and fifteen. Carefully check the label when choosing a sunscreen. Be sure it contains an effective screening agent for both UVA and UVB light. Effective UVB screens are PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) and DABA (esters and cinn- amates). Effective UVA screens are benzophenones, including oxybenozone, methoxybenzone, and sulfisobenzone. Avoid direct sunlight during the intense periods when UVB is at its strongest - between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The Vemon nurses, who are conducting a community education campaign, also suggest that parents protect . their chidlren. Keep babies under one year out of direct sunlight. Toddlers and older children may be out in the sun if sunscreen is applied and appropriate clothing worn. They point out that sheer clothing allows the sun's rays to penetrate. One bad sunburn during childhood can double a child's risk of developing skin cancer in later life. The nurses say everyone should practice protection from the sun, regardless of age, or skin type. Even those people who aren't burning and "can't feel a thing" can develop problems later. Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outdoors, to allow the lotion to absorb into the skin. It should be re-applied every one and a half to two hours. And finally, sunsmarts are not just for summertime. Snow and cement, along with sand and water, can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's rays. It is recommended that before going outdoors, in both winter and summer, people with all types of skin should apply sunscreen products. YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS ... BUT DO YOU KNOW YOUR WRONGS?

Last year's festival in its beautiful location of sloping fields overlooking the Georgia Strait and Gulf Islands attracted 1,000 people from Point Roberts, Whatcom County, and the Lower Mainland, and with the talent fetured this year - Mahri Sherlock and Norman Foote are headliners - this number could easily be exceeded. More laid-back than the Vancouver Children's Festival, with acts running consecutively, the Point Roberts Festival will also feature clowns, face-painting, games, and of course, goodies to eat and drink. The Festival is a benefit for the Point Roberts Heron Preservation Committee, whose mandate is to work towards ensuring the protection and future operation of the Point Roberts Heronry - the largest and most secure in the Georgia Strait and Puget Sound. The rookery is home to more than 650 great blue herons and is threatened by development. The gates will be open at noon with the first performance by Norman Foote at 1 p.m. Foote combines his love of music and puppet comedy in a highly original performance. "He's very funny," comments festival producer Kim Hunter. "His humour is geared to children of all ages - so parents and kids alike enjoy his show. Songs and stories, puppets and laughs, that's Norman Foote." Magicuts OPENING SOON IN ALDERGROVE Join our new Salon opening Sept. 1/89.

However, while you are enjoying your vacation away from the city, your home and its valuable contents may be particularly vulnerable. An empty house can be an invitation to intruders. The untended lawn, uncollected papers or deliveries are indicat-. ions that the family is away. Neighbourhood Watch brochures have a number of very useful tips about physical security and sensible crime prevention measures. If you don't have one of the brochures, check with your local police department. Homes protected by electronic alarm systems are less likely to be attacked since they offer additional obstacles for intruders. However, homeowners should recognize that there can be problems with an untended alarm system if it is triggered and there is no one available to turn it off, or to reset it, or to check for signs of intrusion. The last thing you want is an. alarm that can be triggered by an intruder who then waits in hiding to see what reaction there is, and seeing none carries on with the break-in. Alternatively the alarm that continues to sound its bell or siren for hours after being triggered is not going to make for good neighbourly relations whether or not it has scared off a would-be intruder. hi order to avoid these types of problems make sure your alarm installer is fully aware of family activity patterns including short and extended holiday absences. Make sure your alarm system, is properly designed to provide the fullest protection with the least possible inconvenience. It's your peace of mind and security that are at stake. A good alarm system can add to the security of your home, but a poor choice can add to your problems. Make sure you get the best available professional advice and expertise to help select the kind of alarm system you need. As a guide, you can check that the firms you contact are members of CANASA, the Canadian Alarm and Security Association. CANASA members are responsible, established businesses that subscribe to a published code of ethics and are duly licensed by the Province of British Columbia.

What planning should you do now so that you will be able to retire comfortably at your selected age? For many people retirement planning is simply the process of investing money so that there will be cash available when they retire. The sooner you start saving for retirement and the higher the return on your investments, the more money you will have. You may also choose to take a higher risk with your investments in order to achieve a higher return. There is, however, a lot more to retirement planning than investing and accumulating. DEFINING GOALS You should determine when you would like to retire. Having made this your starting point, be prepared to re-think this objective if an analysis of your situation shows that the goal is unrealistic. Stating your planned retirement age is the first step in retirement planning. RETIREMENT INCOME GOAL What income will you need when you are retired? Think of the income in today's dollars rather than inflated, future dollars. Inflation is an important consideration which is discussed later. Many people don't wish to have any reduction in income when they retire. However, let's consider the following example: A husband wife, both age 40 and earning $40,000 a year (for a total family income of $80,000), wish to retire at age 60 with the same income that they have now. At retirement, a very big expense that they will no longer have is "saving for retirement." If they are making combined RRSP contributions of $15,000 annually, they could reduce their gross income to $65,000 a year without reducing tha income they are "consuming". If we assume they are also putting away $1,000 per month of "non-RRSP" savings or $12,000 per year of after-tax money, this effectively consumes $18,000 annually of "pre-tax" income. THE REASON FOR RETIREMENT SAVINGS Most of us put our money into company pension plans or RRSPs because we want to live well after our retirement. It goes without saying that none of us wants to experience a dramatic change of lifestyle, at least in the negative sense, in our golden years. Some of us hope to retire early enough so that we can perhaps travel extensively - something that our busy work schedules may have previously prevented. Others of us anticipate indulging in various hobbies that we had little time to savour and enjoy before. Many of our retirement hopes and dreams can be directly translated into dollars and cents. That's why retirement planning (and the earlier the better) is so important. Here's how to begin the process of planning for your retirement. First off, get a "ballpark" estimate of the income you'll need for retirement. In order to do that, you'll need to consider three factors: 1) your living expenses (including special projects, trips, hobbies, etc.); 2) the after tax income you'll have available; and 3) the impact of inflation on your retirement funds. Thus, a total of $33,000 out of their $80,000 is effectively being spent on saving for the future. If we then consider that the chidren will be grown when the husband and wife retire and that their house mortgage will be paid off, they may well be able to reduce their gross family expenses from $80,000 to $40,000 per year and have more money to spend on such items as cars, entertainment and holidays. SOURCES OF RETIREMENT INCOME Generally speaking, your retirement income will come from four sources: 1. Government pension plans (OAS, CPP). 2. Employer pension plan. 3. RRSP savings (RRIF.Annuity). 4. Other savings - term deposits, bonds, stocks, mutual funds, real estate, business interests. SOURCES OF RETIREMENT INCOME For the most part, Government pension plans and employer pension plans are totally beyond your control. Therefore, planning consists of organizing your RRSP and other savings in the most effective manner. INFLATION Nobody knows what rate of inflation we will experience over the long term. In planning for retirement, an estimate should be made so that there is a basis for determining what personal investment resources will be required in order to meet your goals. hi our example, the couple, both aged 40, may define their retirement goal as $40,000 per year in today's dollars. If annual inflation FIRST & SECOND MORTGAGES 90% FINANCING AVAILABLE At? ANTRIM INVESTMENTS LTD. / ^r 20410 Douglas Crescent, Langley, B.C. V3A 4B4 cu* 530-2301 856-7639^ is 5 percent, then by the time they reach age 60, income needs will be $106,000 a year. It is a mistake, however, to then define their retirement income needs as $106,000 per year for, if inflation continues at 5 percent throughout their retirement, their income needs will have grown to $281,000 per year by their age 80. Many people think of the effects of inflation during the pre-retirement period, but do not consider the effects of inflation following their retirement. When inflation is considered, the numbers can become frightening. You should, however, also consider that Government benefits should remain indexed and they will increase on a proportional basis to the income need. Many pension plans also provide for indexed benefits which are based on your earnings at the time you retire. This means that if the cost of living has doubled by the time you retire, and your salary has doubled, your pension should have also doubled. Some pension plans have benefits based only on contributions and the earnings on those contributions. Similarly, your Registered Retirement Savings Han and your investments pay retirement income to you based on the amount you save. As we experience inflation, the amount that you contribute both to your company pension plan and to your RRSPs will increase. The ultimate accumulation of funds available at retirement will thus be based on an indexed stream of contributions. Once you've determined what you'll need and what your "after- SELL IT FAST IN THE STAR CLASSIFIEDS! CALL 856-8303 tax" income will be, you'll want to be especially aware of the impact of inflation on your precious retirement dollars. Over your retirement years, inflation can drastically reduce the purchasing power of your income. The figures in the Mowing chart can help you judge the impact of inflation on your future retirement needs. To illustrate what these figures mean, let's look at an example: suppose you determine that you'll need an income of $3,000 per month when you retire. From the table, you can determine that in 15 years, you'll require $5,403 per month to maintain the purchasing power of that original $3,000!

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER As is the case with all sound investment plans, the key to a good retirement plan is in combining all potential sources of income in a well-balanced way. Begin with a solid base composed of a guaranteed pension income from your company pension plan, Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security. Build on this cornerstone with income from a RRIF or annuity. Finally, cap your plan with income from other investments such as Canada Saviings Bonds, mutual funds or high-quality common or preferred shares.

"We're all going to be paying more, whether it shows on the cash register as a federal tax or a provincial tax," he said outside the house. "It's not a victory for the provinces at all." Vander Zalm said it is difficult for a sales tax to be progressive and keep from unduly hurting the less affluent.

LOCAL 4-H NEWS Woodlands club at Ridge-Meadows By LYNN INGEBERG HANEY - Five 4-H members of the Woodlands Rabbit Club attended the Ridge-Meadows Fair in Haney July 21, 22 and 23. For both interclub and herds- manship, the club placed fourth. In the project classes, the plac- ings were: Junior doe for Lynn Ingeberg was third row and for Shawn Ingeberg was first row and reserve champion for that class; intermediate doe for Carmen Ernst was second row; junior buck for Reagan Campbell was third row, for Lynn Ingeberg third row and Shawn Ingeberg was second row; senior buck for Krissy Erickson was third row. In the showmanship class for juniors, Krissy Erickson and Reagan Campbell both earned second row ribbons; for intermediates Carmen Ernst and Lynn Ingeberg both earned first row and honorable mention; while Shawn Ingeberg earned reserve championship for seniors and therefore qualified to participate in the fair's round robin showmanship. Recently the club held a mini- fair at Leeanne Lote's home where the members learned better rabbit handling techniques from Karen Becker. Everyone then went swimming in Lote's pool and enjoyed hot dogs and cake afterwards. The members are now looking forward to the Cloverdale Exhibition and Rodeo, Aug. 4 to 7, where they will have their achievement day. Beef clubbers win honors By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Yes, believe it or not, August is here and the starlings are holding their annual conference on the old dead tree behind our house. I hope they are solving their problems in a more sensible manner than some of our politicians. Sorry to have to report the passing of two old time OAP members, Mr. Rankin and Mr. Gubbe. Both contributed in their own way to the community. Al Rankin's letters, though perhaps not always approved of by some, were well written and to the point. Mr. Gubbe, longtime school principal, brought pleasure to many with his music. On behalf of the OAP we send our sympathy to the families of these two members. People are enjoying a break from most activities at the hall. Bridge and dancing are in full By JOE BERG OTTER - Otter 4-H Beef Club was represented by five members at the Maple Ridge fair. Sherri Jensen received the reserve overall grand champion showmanship ribbon and reserve grand champion beef ribbon. Joe Berg received intermediate grand champion showmanship ribbon and a blue ribbon in the beef classs. Sandi Vestering received a blue ribbon in showmanship and beef. Kim Wright received blue ribbons in beef and showmanship and hr cow and calf entry was the grand champion female of the day. Teresa Wright was able to rally after an injury to receive blue ribbons for beef and showmanship. The club was third in stall competition and received a fourth place ribbon for their educational display. In the interclub competition the club placed third. Heart surgery needs blood Every time heart surgry is performed blood must be available for transfusion, a leading cardiac specialist says. Dr. Larry Burr, Secretary-Treasurer of the B.C. Cardiac Society, says even if the operation is elective and considered non-life-threatening, surgeons request at least four units of blood for every patient in case it is needed. "If more people became Red Cross blood donors, the supplies needed for heart surgery would be readily available," says Len Iifchus, director of blood donor recruitment for the B.C.-Yukon division of the Red Cross. "The need is always there." "In some surgery, particularly when a patient undergoes a second operation on the heart, we order a great deal of blood," Dr. Burr says. "It's not unusual to order 20 units of each blood component and then tell the blood bank to double that number," he added. Repeat surgery means doctors must remove solid adhesions from the heart and the patient may experience more bleeding. Blood is broken down into its components - platelets, red cells and plasma before being transfused. Heart surgery needs red cells to replace the lost blood volume and platelets to restore the clotting factors of the blood. Plasma is required to combat the symptoms of shock. The operations to repair an aneurism or a ruptured aorta may require massive blod transfusions, Dr. Burr says. An aneurism is a weak area in a blood vessel that must be repaired surgically. A ruptured aorta is a tear in one of the major sections of the heart. Even after surgery, many patients need blood transfusions to speed recovery. They depend on adequate supplies of donated blood, Dr. Burr added. You can help fight heart disease by taking good care of your heart and by becoming a regular Red Cross volunteer blood donor. swing. Sixty-seven dancers came out on Wednesday to enjoy the music and dancing. Prizes were won by Jim Ranger, Selina Dvies, Erlene Wynne and Fred Miller. A good time was had by all at the Saturday dance, 102 were there to step the light fantastic. Door prizes were won by Fred Chisholm and Elsie Zentel. Other prizes were won by Ann Roberts and Millie Folk. For the spot dance, Mary Sanderson, Lorette Leon, Doris Pelik and Jim Ranger were winners. Don't forget the jamboree on August 20. Admission free for ladies bringing cake or sandwiches. Otherwise price is $2. Many of our OAP memebers ar away holidaying across Canada and further afield so don't see the usual familiar faces around, and since Aldergrove is growing by leaps and bounds, new groups are emerging. Could never blame anyone for settling in our town, for to me it is the most friendly and enjoyable place to live. In the 11 years we've lived here we have made many good friends. Thrift Shop meeting coming up Aug. 14 in the OAP hall (kitchen) at 2 p.m. Hope to have a good turn out, that way we can get new ideas, and decide what should be done for the following month. My bridge scout is cruising back and forth between Cultus Lake and Aldergrove so is hard to catch. I'll have to wait until fall to get a report, I'm afraid. Hope everyone enjoyed a happy safe B.C. Day holiday. Prepare yourself for a noisy weekend coming up with the Abbotsford Air Show only a few miles away. Think that's it for the week.

While most people think of the pesky little creatures in terms of itchy bites and sleepless nights Fumell thinks of them as an essential part of the environment. "There is a definite balance," says Fumell, a Simon FVaser University graduate now with Morrow and Associates Engineering, North Vancouver, administering the Lower Mainland Regional Mosquito Control Program. "Mosquitoes are an important part of the food chain for many fish, birds, and beneficial insects. So control, not eradication, is our goal." Mosquitoes are not a new problem in B.C.: Simon FVaser complained about them, Fraser Valley pioneers coped with them, but the annual FVaser River floods continued to generate clouds of mosquitoes. In 1917, the government of B.C. undertook a large scale dyking and landfill project in Langley, Sumas and Hatzic to reduce the flooding of large breeding sites. Later attempts at mosquito control involved pouring mineral oil on bodies of standing water. The pesticide DDT was used in the 1950s but discontinued in the 1960s when long-term residual effects on the environment were confirmed. Controlling mosquitoes involves much more than simply spraying pesticides. "We have a number of options now," says F\irnell. These range from prevention to short-term area-specific residual pesticides and most-specific larvicides. "If chemicals are used, emphasis is placed on selecting those with a minimal effect on the environment, which will break down quickly once applied," he says. One of the most environmentally acceptable pesticides now available is Bacillius thurigiensis Serotype H-14 (B.t.i.), a strain of bacteria which produces a chemical toxic and specific to biting flies.

All mosquitoes may seem the same to their beleaguered victims, but there are five genera (Aedes, Culex, Culiseta, Anopheles, and Man- sonia) and 45 species in B.C. "Flood-water Aedes are the most common mosquitoes of the FVaser Valley in springtime," says Fumell. "Pools of standing water can produce large numbers of Culex and Culiseta. This poses a problem in the Interior, where irrigation is an important part of farming." Mosquito habitat may be readily visible floodwater, snow melt or standing pools, or hidden, such as salt marsh pools or coastal rock pools, charged by splash- water from waves.

The training is done by professionals and consists of 50 hours (16 sessions, once a week) which is thorough and in depth. Once a lay counsellor has successfully completed the training they will continue to * have supervision and support to make them confident. This training is offered free of charge to those, who, having been accepted as a counsellor, can commit three hours per week for two years to the program. That usually means Lock them out HEADINGLISY, Man. - Prisoners at a provincial jail just west of Winnipeg are threatening to go on strike for higher wages. Inmates at Headingley Correctional Institution receive between $1.90 and $3.90 a day for working in the jail's kitchens, laundry rooms and other areas. They say it's not enough to keep them in items like tobacco and shampoo and they're demanding at least $l-a-day increase for all positions. three cases per counsellor. The training will enable people to help as a counsellor in the fields of relationship counselling and family counselling, either one to one or with more than one, dealing with a wide variety of problems. Lay counsellors refer someone to another program if they feel it will mbre specifically meet their needs (i.e.: Alcohol and Drug.). Most appointments are made for early evening as that is the time most often convenient for counsellors and people needing the service as well as the time when space at Langley Family Services is available for use. LPS does, however, offer daytime counselling when possible. As well, when necessary, counsellors offer a one hour, one time only session for emergencies on Monday evenings. It is challenging, rewarding work and a really valuable contribution to the community. If you would like to serve your community in this way, and obtain valuable training, phone Kay Dennison at Langley Family Services, 534-7921 and make an appointment for an interview. containers or tires. "Biological control can sometimes be used to deal with a pest population," says Furnell. "Mosquitoes have many natural enemies including birds, fish and other insects. Fish effectively reduce the number of larvae in ponds and permanent pools but have no effect on floodwater sites." Each spring, Fumell hires several technicians, usually university students, to identify mosquitoes and locate breeding sites, both existing and potential. These sites are monitored and treated as required. "The preferred method of treatment is larviciding, but if breeding sites are missed or inaccessible during the larva stage, it may be necessary to spray adult mosquitoes before they can spread into surrounding communities," he says. Male mosquitoes are content with plant juices, but FXirnell says females require a blood meal for proper egg production, and will fly up to 30 kilometers to find it. Aside from their unquestioned nuisance level, which can affect both tourism and recreation, mosquitoes can cause serious problems for egg, milk and livestock producers by reducing levels of production. In some parts of North America, mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting Equine Encephalitis, a type of sleeping sickness, to horses and humans. Western Equine Encephalitis is very rare in B.C. The last known case occured in 1972 in the Okanagan Valley. "We are sometimes asked if AIDS can be transmitted by mosquitoes," Fumell says. "All available evidence indicates that the vims is not transmitted this way. A very good paper (No Evidence for Arthropod Transmission of AIDS, by P. Piot and C.J. Schonfeld (1986), Parasit- o ogy Today, (vol 2, 11) has been published on this subject. "Unless you are allergic, it isn't likely that mosquitoes here will make you sick," says Fumell, "but they can be very annoying."

SIT DOWN AT WCV DESK AND MAKE BELIEVE ITS VOUR COMPANY AND WUR IrVONeY , , ' ." .- .' .* ' ■ . ., *,. , THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 10, 1989 23 Politics like the Scottish weather OTTAWA - liberal party policy seems a lot like Scottish weather. If you don't like it, wait a few minutes -- it's bound to change. Take, for instance, free trade with the United States. Whatever happened to "the fight of my life," the crusade for Canada and all the other noble nationalist garb in which the Liberals wrapped themselves during the November election? Well, it seems many Liberals agree with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney on one thing: only mules and donkeys don't change their minds. Only 12 weeks ago, liberal Leader John Turner was stalking the land declaring the war against free trade to be the fight of his life and a veritable crusade. Most of his liberal mates seemed to agree. Turner called Mulroney a sell-; out. Again, no liberals seemed to differ. At stake, Turner roared, was the heart, soul, future and sovereignty of Canada. There were many liberal echoes. Now, the liberals - or at least some who may have aspirations of succeeding Turner -- will wait and see. A book titled Election, published in early January by senior strategists from the three major parties, concluded the liberal" promise to rip up the trade deal was a key blunder. The heavyweights in the Liberal caucus - or at least those eyeing the top job - seem to have reached the same conclusion. Trade critic Lloyd Axworthy said last week his party "will leave open very clearly the question as to the positon in the next election on the trade agreement." Deputy leader Herb Gray, among the last of the liberal economic nationalists and the last of the Turner loyalists, was quick to rap Axworthy's knuckles. His opinions were hypothetical, Gray said, and the trade critic had no mandate to alter party policy. But the events of last week made clear that Gray doesn't have enough fingers to plug the leaky dike of liberal solidarity. Michel Robert, national party president, told Quebec liberals:. "We fought against free trade in the election and we lost our wager. Now we have to go forward." Paul Martin, among the leading candidates to succeed Turner when he eventually quits, was blunter. "If we keep it up, we'll lose all credibility among Canadians and particularly among Quebecers with whom we are trying to Regional transit to be expanded VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Regional Transit Commission has resolved that the 1990-91 annual service plan should reflect a new, progressive attitude toward public transit in the region. Recognizing that the population in the Lower Mainland will be increasing rapidly over the next 10 years and that ridership on the transit system has already increased more than five percent this year over last year, the commission has expressed a desire to improve and expand transit services for the people it serves. "More and more people are turning to public transit to address not only their commuting concerns but environmental issues as well. We, know the population in the transit service area is on the rise, and we want to be ready with improved, expanded and responsive transit services," said Mayor Don Lanskail, chairman of the commission. The commission approved in principle, the draft of the plan. This plan will now be forwarded to all municipal councils in the area for their review and comments. Included as part of the draft sent to the municipalities, will be a review of all requests for transit improvements that have been received from municipal councils over the past three years - incluidng estimated costs where applicable. Many of the requests have already been implemented while others may no longer be considered necessary. Municipalities will be asked to review the list to determine whether or not each request is still valid. Members of the public will be given the opportunity to comment on the draft plan at public meetings that will be held in September. Following public input and comments from the municipalities, a revised plan will be presented to the commission for final approval in October. Lanskail said, "We have come through a period of restraint, and now it's time to move forward, to plan more aggressively, to identify areas where ridership has the potential to grow and to design new transit services to serve those areas. We have already identified a number of areas in which transit services should be improved, and we will make those improvements in September and again in February." Improvements to be implemented in September will provide major increases in service to Simon FVaser University and the University of British Columbia to meet the growing student demand. Transit services will also improve in areas that have been experiencing high population growth such as Fleetwood and Guildford in Surrey, Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam, and Forest Grove and Forest Hills in Bumaby. Transit services will also increase during the peak hours, along the Barnet, Lougheed and Highway 99 corridors. As a result of the service improvements scheduled for September, an extra 24 buses will be on the road. In February, 1990, with the opening of the Scott Road Sky- Train Station in Surrey, transit services to Surrey, Delta and Lanlgley, will improve. < rebuild our bridges." Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians has expressed disappointment that the Liberals would "back off on something as important as this." New Democrat Steven Langdon has called it the "fastest surrender in history since Belgium in World War One." A week, as a wise man once said, is a long time in politics. But what was all that liberal angish about for seven weeks last October and November? While Turner's passionate campaign produced better-than- expected Liberal results, he couldn't prevent the return of a second consecutive majority Conservative government. There were two seemingly inevitable results. Free trade would become law. It did. And Turner would quit as liberal leader. The rumors continue. But before the body is cold the would-be heirs are flinging their maple-leafed Turner team uniforms on the trash heap. Is it any wonder a recent Gallup poll showed that only 30 percent of Canadians respect and have confidence in the Commons? Is it any wonder that only 18 percent said they had great confidence in political parties?

The Wildcats who were considered the host team because of then- second place finish in the recent provincial playdowns gained entry to the playoff double knockout forma by virtue of their three wins and three loss performance in the six-game round robin series. The Wildcats edged out Alberta and the two territories for that final berth. The locals dropped their opening game 3-0 to Saskatchewan, then devoured the North West Territories 8-3 where Brian Kingman was the winning pitcher. Then they ended the first day with a 3-0 loss to the eventual championship team landmark of Manitoba. Day two saw two more games and both wins, a very impressive 4-0 victory over a strong Alberta team from Red Deer which featured very strong pitching by David Law and an awesome two run smash home run by Curt Orwick.

"Most of the grizzly bears we have live right next to industries like forestry and mining, and Hunting limited by draw VICTORIA - limited Entry Hunting authorizations have been mailed to all hunters whose applications were selected in the random draw held in Victoria on June 27. Hunters whose applications were not drawn or were received too late for the draw are also being notified by mail. Applicants who do not receive notification by July 15 may contact Ministry of Environment and regional offices or any Government Agent office for information. The limited Entry system is -_,. used to control the number of hunters authorized to hunt in a particular area during a certain period of time for a particular type of animal. The system limits the total number of animals the hunters may harvest, and the kinds of animals, in terms of age and sex, that they may take. There are 690 limited Entry Hunts this season, involving nine species in 60 areas. There were ,a» 109,108 applictions received for the 37,055 hunt authorizations available. Both the number of authorizations and the number of applications increased again this year. Authorizations were up 21.3 percent, and applications 7.6 percent, over 1988 figures. Applicants to receive authorizations were randomly selected with the aid of a computer. Dawn Sutherland, Oakdale Consulting Services, officiated at the draw. these bears are the ones that we obviously have to put emphasis on because they are the ones on the front line, getting nailed all the time," said David Shackleton. One of his PhD students, Brace McLellan, has studied B.C.'s grizzlies for a decade and hopes to determine whether bears and resource extraction industries can exist together. The study has looked at grizzlies' reactions to humans and their response to seismic exploration, timber harvesting and road maintenance. The bears are snared and are fitted with radio collars in order to track their movements. The study area, about 1,700 square miles of Crown land surrounding the north fork of the Flathead River drainage in the extreme southeast comer of B.C., contains one of North America's densest grizzly populations outside of Alaska's Kodiak Island. It is also an area used heavily by resource extraction industries such as logging, oil and gas, and mining companies. Law, Bob Law - coach, Eric Lightfoot, Conrad Van Dyk, Raymond Nelson, Don Claassen - Assistant coach. Wildcats eked out a 9-8 decision over a very strong Yukon team. This game was a real slugfest and darkness was almost the deciding factor. Brian Kingman started the game but ran into some lumberjacks who tagged him pretty good and the 3-0 lead that the Cats had built up soon disappeared; Cordova Bay pick up Collin McKenzie came in to relieve Brian but had four runs scored against him too. However, the team defense hung in for the much needed win. On Sunday morning the Wildcats played their final round robin game against B.C. champions Greenstone River Logging of Campbell River. After a disastrous first inning with seven runs being scored on pitcher Collin McKenzie, Brian Kingman came in to relieve and only allowed another three but the final count would be 10-1. Kingman and David Law were the top batters in the round robin for Abbotsford but Aaron Janzen, Rob Schartner, Curt Orwick and Jeremy Martens were hot on the sticks too. In the first playoff game, the Wildcats drew Manitoba and the lads from a town that featured names very familiar to anyone from Clearbrook as it is in the Steinbach region of southern Manitoba. landmark coach Bemie Neufeld and his assistants John Peters and Francis Giesbrecht brought a very well drilled squad of guys who battled the Cats to the wire. After four complete innings, the Wildcats were up 1-0 as a result of David Laws stellar pitching performance and the tight defense displayed by Rob Schartner, Bevan Rempel, Eric Lightfoot and Aaron Janzen in the infield along with the very good back catching of Chilliwack ace pick up Raymond Nelson. However, pressure got to some of the Abbotsford crew and mental errors resulted in three quick runs to eventually lead to the 4-2 loss. The Wildcats then were forced to play a second playoff game that evening and this time against the loser of the B.C. vs Saskatchewan match which was Saskatchewan as as result of their 10-3 blow out by the big B.C. club. Collin McKenzie drew the start on the mound and pitched a very smart game but the team from Saskatoon shut down the big Abby bats and the Wildcats sole ran by Jeremy Martens wasn't enough as coach Laws team of young first-year guyhs checked out of soft ball 1989 at 2016 hours on August 6 with a 4-1 loss. A fabulous year was over and there was possibly a joint sigh of relief heard from Patricia Law, Donna Kingman and Linda Orwick because their husbands and sons could now put ball aside for another year. Head coach Bob law and his chief assistant Don Claassen deserve a cheer for their tireless efforts in bringing this young group of boys so far this season and the joy of next year's expectations will be savoured over the winter. Also contributing with exceptional play this season were Michael Matsuda, Warner Miyagi, Conrad Van Dyk and Jaret St. Andrass- ey.

Ihat is the central question addressed in the Greater Vancouver regional district's newly-developed planning blueprint - "The livable Region, A Strategy for the 1990s.' The principles are built upon the livable Region plan first developed in 1975, and are intended as a general framework for the future, with an emphasis on broad regional development goals and directions, and strategies for the coming decade. All 188 municipalities in the metropolitan area that make up the GVRD will participate in the program. The GVRD board of directors at its July meeting adopted seven iiavability goals' and called for a wide ranging public participation program before the strategy is recommended for final approval. The seven goals include a call for an enhancement of Greater Vancouver's 'close-to-nature' quality; development of a healthy climate for investment and employment while maintaining the region's livability; creation of improved accessibility for transportation of goods and people; and implementation of policies to improve conditions of health and safety. Other goals are for enhancement of the region's rich physical and cultural diversity; recognition that all areas of the GVRD should share in the costs and benefits of development; and co-operation between all member municipalities to ensure the most effective use of public funds. The GVRD's proposed strategy is to achieve these goals through work in five key areas, including environmental enhancement, improved accessibility, bolstering economic growth, development of regional town centres, and improved community life. As part of the process in drafting the strategies, the GVRD obtained input from municipal councils, and professional and academic groups. A six-month process is now being developed to take the program for discussion and input to urban development experts, a series of public forums and to a symposium, sponsored by the GVRD board, for municipal councils. The public forums are to discuss with interested individuals and organizations their views on what livability means and how to maintain it.

The Royal Engineers stand at unloaded, attention while the boat is - Tim Attwood photo • 1 Development is keeping pace THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 10, 1989 Region focuses on recycling 31 -.! VICTORIA - Economic development in the Mainland-Southwest Region outside of Greater Vancouver is keeping pace with the present surge of growth in the metropolitan area. Regional Development Minister Elwood Veitch said a comparison of his Ministry's 1988 and 1989 editions of B.C. Major Projects Inventory for March 31 shows that the government's regional development process is working to benefit the whole region. "The aim of the process is to encourage more balanced economic development so the less populated areas can begin catching up to the concentration of development in Greater Vancouver," said Veitch, who is Minister of State for the Mainland-Southwest Region. "This is now taking effect and it means more permanent jobs and new small business opportunities in smaller communities." The Minister said the March 31, 1989 Major Projects Inventory lists construction in progress in Greater Vancouver at $2.6-billion, 70 percent more than the $1.5- billion listed in the 1988 edition. In the same 12 months, major projects under construction througout the region outside Greater Vancouver have doubled from $552-million to $l.l-billion, he said. "This indicates that the communities outside of Greater Vancouver, which have only a 20 percent of the region's population are receiving nearly 30 percent of major project construction activity," Veitch said. He cautioned that more than 80 percent of new jobs in B.C. are created by small businesses, and not all the major projects being Compensation for assault RICHMOND - An incident in Langley that arose from a child custody dispute resulted in a man being charged with assault on a 20-year-old woman. She received an award of $400 for pain, suffering and inconvenience from the Criminal Injury Compensation fund. OBITUARIES BAKER - Joseph (Joe) late of Aldergrove, passed away August 3, 1989, aged 69 years. Survived by his loving wife Moneca; three sons, David of Port Coquitlam; Paul of Black Creek; Donald of Aldergrove; stepson Dean of Edmonton; Stepdaughter Audrey of Maple Ridge; one sister Frouida of Tsawwassen; 5 grandchildren and 5 step grandchildren; many nieces and nephews. He will be sadly missed by everybody. Mr. Baker was predeceased by his first wife Ernistine in 1981, and brother Fred in 1988. Funeral service was held Wednesday, August 9, 1989 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of First Memorial Funeral Services, Abbotsford. Pastor James Peetoom officiated. Cremation. In lieu of flowers, donations to the B.C. Cancer Fund would be appreciated. FRITZKE- Passed away July 28, 1989 in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Mr. Hilbert Laurence Fritzke, age 66 years, late of Aldergrove, B.C. Lovingly survived by his wife Leona; three sons Robert and Karen of Aldergrove; Grant and Pat of Clearbrook; and Bruce and Carol of Grand Prairie; two grandchildren Jason and Jessica; four brothers; eight sisters and their families. Funeral service was held Wednesday, August 2 at 1 p.m. from Hillside Community Church, Aldergrove. Pastor Vic Peters officiating. Interment followed at Valleyview Memorial Garden Cemetery, Surrey. Henderson's Funeral Homes, Langley, directors. planned will meet the expectations of their planners. Major project inventories must therefore be considered only as informal approximate indicators of economic activity. Compiled by the provincial government for more than 25 years, major project inventories traditionally define as "major" those projects in the City of Vancouver costing $20-million or more, and those elsewhere in B.C. costing $10-million or more. The inventories are compiled, from published data and issued every three months. Categories of projects include: "proposed"; "under construction"; and "construction completed in the last quarter". Rental units VICTORIA - Minister of Social Services and Housing, Claude Richmond, has announced a rental supply program for British Columbia. The program will encourage developers to build rental accommdation, by reducing interest rates on projects that meet the guidelines. The rental supply program will benefit those communities where the vacancy rate is less than two percent. Matsqui and Abbotsford meet the guidelines. The guidelines state "new development" must remain rental accommodation. Richmond says, "We want to ensure we get the most value from our dollar." Some deviation from the guidelines is allowed, depending on suitability, location and subsidy cost. Two thousand units will be funded initially, with an additional 2,000 units to be introduced sometime this fall. The government will continue to monitor the rental market and introduce more funding as needed. BURNABY - Tne Greater Vancouver regional district, a partnership of all municipalities in the metropolitan area, is developing a new strategy for dealing with the region's garbage - a 'roadmap for the future' - that stresses waste reduction, reuse and recycling. The strategy, prepared for the GVRD by consultants MacLaren Engineers, places emphasis on the introduction of a co-ordinated regional recycling program. The GVRD aims to phase in a variety of measures over the next five years to reduce by at least 20 percent the amount of the solid wastes being handled in Greater Vancouver. Such a new system is needed because forecasters say that by the late 1990s, the region's waste disposal systems may be able to handle only 80 percent of the district's garbage. List year, about 1.6 million tonnes of solid waste was disposed of in GVRD waste facilities, and the amount is increasing annually. The GVRD recognizes it is no longer economically, environmentally or socially acceptable to merely dispose of garbage; rather waste should be looked at as a resource that, if correctly managed and harvested, will enrich society. Recycling alone will not be enough to reach the waste reduction goal, however. The new scheme will begin with the regional district co-operating closely with its member municipalities, community groups and business interests to reduce the output of waste. It has already been demonstrated in Toronto and Long Island, New York, that up to 75 percent of residential solid waste can potentially be diverted through recycling. The new strategy will involve everyone from the homeowner to the business operator, and will look at everything fom backyard composting to recycling workshops.
