■ "V ■ I" ' HOPE CALLING VANCOUVER Growth needs expanded service MURRAYVILLE - Civic officials hope that some day there will be toll-free telephone calling all the way from Vancouver to Hope. That is the only way to create proper economic development in the Fraser Valley, they say. Judging from the efforts of Aldergrove over the past 15 years, this concept seems as distant as the moon. Now Langley township has found a new ally in the municipality of Delta. It seems township fathers there are upset because of the disparity in toll-free calling between the telephone exchanges in Ladner, Richmond, Newton and Whalley. "It is hoped that each of your communities (will) gather support for a more logical direct dialing area for the Greater Vancouver region," says Bob Collier, a spokesman for the Corporation of Delta. "It is Delta council's hope that a major effort will be launched by Established 1957 3089 - 272 Street, Aldergrove, B.C. SAYS MAYOR Town seen on the move ALDERGROVE - This town is "on the move" says Mayor John Beales, even if the "pressure (that's) coming to Langley township ... is coming a bit faster than we'd like." The Mayor spoke to the annual general meeting of the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce, Dec. 13, and he stressed the necessity for the community to work together. He said the amalgamation of Langley township with the city, and possibly a similar joining together of the three local Chambers of Commerce (Aldergrove, Langley and Fort Langley) would be beneficial in co-ordinating planning for the ongoing population boom here. "If we had the facilities (sewer, water, etc.) in the ground, our annual growth could go up to eight -percent, instead of the three to five percent we've experienced," said Beales, "We got behind the eight-ball because Langley township's new economic development manager,. UndiSwAirje.;','.'.'.'. previous councils wanted to keep Langley agricultural ... but we will be urban as quickly, or as slowly, as we can control. It's inevitable." He also said there are a number of pressure groups with various philosophies and, the confrontation that is created between these various aims makes it "very difficult to control ... for a government of the whole." He suggested that council can "come under pressure" from a handful of people and this stymies "work toward development of the whole township. We need to be more cohesive." The 1990 provisional budget provides about $2-million to upgrade roads, sewers and other infrastructure in Aldergrove, an increase over this year's allocation. He repeated his prediction that Aldergrove will "be bigger than Langley city ... we won't think too small or short range." Aldergrove can't afford to go on its own, just as the township can't afford its separation from Langley city, he said. "Amalgamation would be of advantage to both parties." Letters from young people indicate they need "more space to hang around" and Beales said pools, theatres, malls and other public areas will come for then- use and pleasure as the town grows. "It depends a lot on industrial development to the north of us (Gloucester)," said Beales, adding that he is considering locating a business of his own in Gloucester. The infrastructure for the industrial park is proceeding quickly, and its developers are predicting the opening of the first businesses there by next summer or early fall. Beales said the population of Aldergrove's town core will grow from its present 7,000 to 20,000 over the next ten years. The township's new economic development manager, Linda Swaine was also introducted to the Chamber members. She explained that she has worked in this field in communities and cities in Ontario, B.C., Alberta and the YUkon. the various business communities south of the Fraser River to persuade the CRTC that the Greater Vancouver area should be treated as one common direct dialing area and that this is in the best interest of the entire region," Collier says. People in Aldergrove who can only dial direct to Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Langley, recently turned down a BC Tel proposal that would have given them one-way only toll-free service to the Vancouver exchanges in return for a boost in monthly rates to a level higher than any paid by any other telephone subscriber in the lower mainland.

Star photo by Colin Blackburn Tax must go, Searle says MURRAYVILLE - "The tax has to go," says Aid. Aubrey Searle with reference to the nine-cum- seven percent proposed federal goods and services tax. "It is a mind-boggling proposal," says Searle, "involving marvellous accounting procedures." Searle says he is urging all Canadians to oppose the new tax which is scheduled to go into effect in 12 months and 10 days. "Write your MP; write the prime minister," urges Searle. But Aid. John Scholtens, who really doesn't like the proposed GST either, says that "it is really nice that the lawyers and accountants now also have to be tax collectors." In the past, this has been the exclusive domain of the business community, the entrepreneur says. Municipalities represented in this province by the UBCM are really only interested in the direct impact the tax will have upon their own administrations. So far, they have not expressed any concern as to what it might do to the free enterprise system or the Canadian taxpayer and worker. Bureaucracy grows zoning change delayed MURRAYVILLE - They don't like it, but it has to be done, councilors here argue. A new municipal hall will have to be built, they say. It is going to cost a lot of money, and that is the part they don't like. m Already, office workers are "sitting cheek by jowl" to each other in the existing hall, says Aid. Aubrey Searle. More will have to be hired, he adds. And while he admits that he is "steeped in protocol" and that "the taxpayer is already paying enormous taxes," nothing less than a new multi-million-dollar municipal hall win do. In the meantime, "bandaid solutions," such as taking over the RCMP offices once the police move into their own new building here, and relinquishing council chambers to clerical staff, has been agreed upon. Voting four-to-three in favor of the relocation, council Meetings will likely have to be held in rented space at the local school board's conference center at 20381 - 66 Avenue next year. Aldermen John Scholtens, Muriel Arnason and Steve Ferguson voted contrary. Relocation and conversion of present facilities will cost an estimated $67,107. But that is. only peanuts compared to the expected cost of constructing a new-70,000 square-foot municipal hall which building inspector Dave Chesney expects will do until the year 2006. Seventeen years hence, a township hall the size of the West Fdmonton Mall may be needed. MURRAYVILLE - A rezoning application from Gloucester Properties has been turned down by councilors here. Gloucester had sought rezoning of 71 acres in the western portion of the industrial park from rural to service commercial-industrial use.

Gasoline, dairy products and liquor traditionally have been cheaper in the United States than in the smaller, more regulated Canadian market. Lately, however, the price difference on these and other items has been widening, thanks to the steadily rising Canadian dollar which has soared from 70 U.S. cents to 86 U.S. cents since 1984. Karen Fedorak, a mother of three children from the Vancouver suburb of North Delta, says her husband has to spend $40 to fill up the family's mid- Zoning... From front commercial uses, and the remainder for a major paint manufacturer, a truck-trailer manufacturer, and a manufacturer of heavy industrial equipment. Land is located near the 264 Street-Highway 1 interchange. "We should not have that kind of development fronting the freeway," Aid. Aubrey Searle said Monday night. "What kind of development do we want?" asked Aid. John Scholtens. Councilors will reconsider the application if Gloucester agrees to install full municipal services prior to the zoning change. In the meantime, work is progressing rapidly on the installation of infrastructure at phase one of the Gloucester Development. size automobile in Canada. But at a U.S. service station just 10 miles away, that fill-up costs him only $23. "I hate to admit that we go down occasionally, but when you're trying to raise a family, it hurts not to," said Fedorak. The border-shopping fever also has been fueled by the recent U.S.-Canada trade pact which eliminates or reduces cross- border tariffs on many consumer items. All of this creates a tempting shopping trip for the 22 milllion Canadians who live within 100 miles of the U.S. border. Government figures show that last year Canadians made 51.3 million trips to the U.S., compared with 44.7 million trips in 1987. For the first six months of Township Mayor John Beales told the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce's annual general meeting that 1990 will see continued rapid growth in the area. "It's inevitable." Local woman charged in Brazil kidnapping LANGLEY - A respected local family is distraught over the news that their daughter is among 11 people charged with the kidnapping of a wealthy Brazilian supermarket executive. Christine Gwen Lamont, 30, and her boyfriend, David Robert Spencer, 26, of Moncton, N.B., are the two Canadians arrested by Sao Paulo police when they surrounded the house where Albilio dos Santos Diniz, 53, was being held for ransom. Police accounts said the pair were carrying passports with different names. Nine others from Brazil, Chile and Argentina were also arrested and charged, and Diniz was released unharmed. After arresting the first four suspects, more than 200 officers surrounded the house and refused ransom demands. Negotiators, including a Catholic archbishop, talked the seven suspects inside the house into giving up. Canadian consulate officials said the couple appear to be treated properly by officials, but they face up to 15 years imprisonment if convicted. Lamont's family and friends in Langley have expressed surprise HOLIDAY TIME Because of the Holiday Season, The Star will be one day late next week.

Her parents, Dr. Keith and Marilyn Lamont are arranging to fly to Sao Paulo to see her. "This Just doesn't seem in character with our daughter," said Marilyn. Christine, a Langley Secondary School graduate, had recently been working in Nicaragua as a translator. 1989 alone, Canadians chalked up 28.9 million visits, an increase of 6.2 million over the same period in 1988. "It is worrying, particularly to those businesss which are located relatively close to the border," said Alasdair McKichan, president of the Retail Council of Canada, the main retail trade organization. McKichan said Canadians currently spend about C$110 billion (US$95 billion) on store purchases in Canada each year. He estimates they spend less than $1 billion annually in U.S. stores. "hi terms of actual volume, looking at the whole sweep of consumer purchases, it's not that significant. But it's extremely significant to businesses that GST could kill housing market MATSQUI - Aid. John Friesen agrees with Housing Minister Peter Dueck's statement that the GST could put housing prices beyond the reach of first time buyers. Dueck said recently he was concerned about the ever increasing burden on the first time home buyer. A tax like the proposed GST could force Canadians to become dependent on rental and social housing, he said. The tax, if implemented, would add another $10,000 to the typical house. So called "starter homes" and condominiums are already nearing the $200,000 mark in Vancouver; with an average of $100,000 in outlying areas. Friesen suggested council send a letter of endorsement to Dueck, and ask him to convince the provincial government to do away with the one percent home buyers tax as well. Council voted in favor of the letter, only Aid. Henry Teichrob voted against the motion. <3HRlSTlvlAS CHEER; Hoping that Christmas and the New Year bring you joyful hours, pleasant memories and much happiness.

Southern Ontario towns like Niagara Falls and Windsor are especially hard hit because their stores must by law stay closed on Sundays, Vancouver, a city of 1.5 million with a downtown only 35. miles from the border, is another "red hot spot," McKichan said. Vancouver clothing retailer Ed Descroches, owner of the Plum Clothing Co. chain, said he learned long ago that consumers have no loyalty. "Consumers will go wherever there is the best deal," he said. Desroches said that earlier this month he visited Bellingham to watch the "volumes of people" streaming over the border to go to that community's huge, new Bellis Fair mall. "It's the variety of goods in the U.S. that's the competition. Their economies of scale are enormous. We can complete on price, but I don't know whether we can ever compete on variety," he bemoans. Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas said the 900,000-square-foot mall has become one of the most successful in North America. He also suspects that the mall receives a lot of litter from Canadian shoppers who wear their newly bought clothing to avoid paying duty, tossing the packaging into the parking lot. But the Iowa-based General Growth retail chain, which owns the mall, does not mind the mess. "We love the traffic and we can deal with the extra maintenance," said Lisa Sassen, the mall's marketing director. Sassen said that 50 percent of the mall's revenue comes from Canadian shoppers, a staggering 32 percentage points higher than originally expected. Mark Startup, president of the Retail Merchants' Associationn of British Columbia, insists that the weekend exodus is not hurting member retailers. Startup notes that British Columbia's resource economy, after a prolonged recession earlier in the decade, how is thriving. He predicts that retail sales will increase 3 percent this year compared with 1988. But Startup acknowledges that early this month some merchants have reported a slowdown in customer traffic. Vancouver economist Walter Block does not think the outflow of Canadian shopping dollars will hurt the country's economy. He says those dollars eventually will find their way back north again as Americans purchase cheap Canadian lumber and electricity. "We don't lose jobs, we don't lose income, we don't lose anything. It's just a different trade pattern," Block says. LOST - MANX CAT (no tail). Neutered I Tom. Colored ginger/marmalade. Answers to the name "RED".

(; '" THE ALDERGROVE STAR, DECEMBER 21, 1989 Multi-unit housing proposal "Denver boot" gets council's boot to go to public hearing ALDERGROVE - A proposal for 171 high-quality self-owned apartments in the town core goes to public hearing, Jan. 8. It appears to have the support of a majority of neighbors, and has passed first and second readings at Langley township. The plans show five complexes of adult-oriented one- to three- bedroom units to be built on seven and a half acres of vacant land between Bertrand Creek and a rental-only apartment complex currently being built by the Aldergrove Kinsmen society. Developers are Azalea Holdings and Hadley Investments Ltd., both of Vancouver. Lawyer Alan Achtem has held the property for a number of years with a project such as this in mind. Hans call for underground parking, large common park areas, a recreatiion hall as well as common recreation rooms on each of the three floors, and vehicle access only on 32 Avenue. Prices, on today's market, would start at about $113,000. It is seen as a benefit to business at the neighboring Aldergrove Centre Mall, another local project Achtem was involved in building. The recession of the early '80s was partly responsible for Achtem's delay in building the apartment units. The mall has since passed on to new owners, Arix Asset Management, who along with mall merchants are generally supportive of the new proposal. Chamber of Commerce secretary Nora Squires, resides in the neighboring adult-oriented Twin Firs complex. She said Achtem showed the plans to a meeting of Twin Firs residents, and the general consensus was that it would complement the area "quite nicely." MURRA WELLE - Councilors here have given the boot to the "Denver boot'. Advised by their lawyer, they have decided not to allow a private firm to enforce parking restrictions in Langley by using a controversial wheel clamp on over-parked vehicles. Legal counsel has advised the aldermen that use of the locking device could be deemed to be an offense under the criminal code. Dynamic Parking Enforcement Ltd. has been denied a business licence in the township as a direct result of the legal advice which says township officials could be charged with 'public mischief if they approved the use of the device. "I am pleased to see that Vancouver also is withdrawing the use of the boot," said Aid. Steve Ferguson. He added that he had been "honored" by having his car locked up on a parking lot in this manner. Officials at the Union of B.C. Municipalities are presently checking the legalities involved with the use of the boot. Dynamic wanted to introduce the immobilizer at Willowbrook mall and Save-On in Langley city. 'Deviation' deplored by councilors MURRAYVILLE - "Is it really necessary?" asked Aid. Terry Thome. Other council members said it was. There are dangers in deviating from our bylaw," said Aid. Aubrey Searle. Thorne said he could not see why a Langley property owner would have to spend about $60,000 on paving a municipal road right-of-way in order to gain access to a mobile home parked on his land. A properly constructed gravel road should suffice, he said. "To ask that he put 75 millimeters of asphalt on top is 'above and beyond' what's needed," Thome said. The road would only be used by Glen Lawlor to gain access to his property at 8535 - 256 Street in north Aldergrove. ' "This is overkill," said Thorne, voting against a council motion that the road must be paved at Lawlor's expense. jffe? ,» <fv hay the best of everything fill your home this happy holiday.

By KURT LANGMANN Most people are very adept at "reading between the lines" and applying their discriminatory judgment to the printed word. I think the press is sometimes over-rated for its power to influence the public, because often the responses show that personal biases have been applied to their interpretation of what is said in both news coverage and columnists' opinions. I have no trouole with what Hank Kuipers claims as fact in his letter to the editor and I'm not the type to cast aspersions on those I consider men and women of honor. On the other hand, I don't feel it contradicts what I witnessed at the meeting and subsequently reported in the column in question. However, I was hurt by a call from an old and dear friend who felt I acted unprofessionally at the meeting and in the column. I might be unorthodox in the way I approach this job, but that's the way I've been doing it for 16 years, and I've never tried to rationalize it the way "Simon Says" de Jong shamelessly tried to following The Journal's coverage of the federal NDP convention. I try hard to do the right thing and when I fail I take my lumps. Since I'm not a member of any provincial party, it must have been obvious to those who know me that I was there because it was big news and that's my job. If the NDP had been courteous enough to give me (and Star readers) more than two days notice, I'd have gone to their founding meeting as well. The Socred meeting attracted 645 voting members, the New Democrats about 30 ~ you tell me which one is potentially newsworthy. I consider both John Scholtens and Dan Peterson equally respectable men of integrity - the same goes for local New Democrat Lynn Fairall, and many others. My door's always open to these people and anyone else who wants to say something to Star readers. My column was hard on Scholtens, but it wasn't malicious, and I think the irrepressible spirit of Scholtens remains intact. He wants to play hardball in a risky business, and smart politicians must always remember the key words ~ "turn adversity into opportunity." This is exactly what Peterson and his first lieutenant, Ralph Snell did. Peterson was quite sincere when he said he was grateful to Scholtens for the challenge, because it has enhanced his reputation in this community, as well as in Victoria. It's also good for politicians to be a little worried about their job futures, because it keeps them on their toes. Scholtens made some blunders that night, as I pointed out in the story, but it does not logically follow that his political career is finished. One man was gleefully rubbing his hands togther that night because he anticipated the distinct possibility that he could knock Scholtens off council at this fall's municipal elections. To this man I say give your head a shake and ask yourself this humbling question: "Could you have brought out 231 suppoerters to go up against the local Socred establishment? This man was .speaking .for himself and made the serious mistake of comparing applies to oranges. Obviously, he's no real threat to Scholtens. A good example of what I'm talking about is Bill VanderZalm. He lost the Vancouver mayoralty race to Mike Harcourt, and a year later was thumbing his nose to Harcourt from Victoria, where he was now leader of the party and premier of the province. Harcourt seems to be motivated by nothing more than one-upmanship, because his agenda's bereft of anything more substantial than capitalizing on the antipathy towards the Zalm with constant attacks on the premier's character ~ but that's another story. I think BCTVs coverage of the Fort Langley-Aldergrove founding meeting was more objectionable because it was so out of touch with what motivates this riding's Socreds. There are many local party members who belong to Christian parishes, certainly, but many of them, too, think the premier is a bit too flashy and flambouyant for their own personal, basically conservative tastes. They are united behind the premier in this riding, some wholeheartedly and some reluctantly, because they recognize there is not one single candidate ready and capable of taking over the reins of their party. The other alternative, a wholesale bloodbath between a dozen contenders, scares them even more at this stage of the game. BCTV failed to recognize that in 1986, all Langley Socred delegates were allowed to support whoever they wished at Whistler. Some went there with a vote for VanderZalm, some for Brian Smith, some for Grace McCarthy, some for Bob Wenman, and so on. On the final ballot, many went to the winner, VanderZalm, but that doesn't mean they're pedantic rubes, as BCTV implied. Many of them have more sophisticated minds than BCTVs reporters do. Some don't. That's why it seemed apparent to me that Scholtens' campaign to sell memberships committed to voting for him would stall early in the game while Peterson and Snell were practically limited only by the area's population and demographics. Scholtens has a constituency and will be in politics as long as his spirit allows him, but he timed this step poorly. He strikes too many Socreds as a miniature version of VanderZalm - thanks to the Dutch accent they even sound alike - and while these Socreds are close enough to recognize some fundamental differences between the two men, they figure they'll have a tough enough time trying to sell the voters of B.C. on the more conservatively speaking, restrained VanderZalm. Scholtens would have been a wild card, as he proved himself in his campaign speech for the local party presidency. That, in plain English, is why he lost, and I think it's unfair for my friend or anyone else to hold me responsible for his loss. It's not part of my job, and besides I couldn't hope to get hundreds of people out to any meeting, on my own, unless I was giving away thousand dollar bills. If Scholtens' supporters are smart, they'll stop blaming others for their own little failings and take a cue from Scholtens - keep smiling. Now that the communist bloc is going capitalist, the next turnaround could even be stranger: America could go socialist. Smart socialist, that is. The U.S. has been dumb socialist for years. After 40 years of cold war, the Americans have become what they beheld across the Iron Curtain. They have taxed their people heavily to finance a huge government bureaucracy, subsidize weak indus tries and maintain a grossly swollen military. The biggest dumb socialist of all was Ronald Reagan. America's answer to doddering Soviet bosses like Brezhnev. When he couldn't tax any more, Reagan -like the communists - plunged his country into a bottomless pit of debt. The U.S. gross debt of 1981 was $1 trillion. In 1988, thanks to Reagan, it was $2.6 trillion. DDIIATO The 1980 defence budget was $134 billion. This year it's $305 billion. Now, facing no serious military threat, the U.S. is thinking of cutting its defence budget by a whole five percent a year until it's back down to $250 billion or so. That's ridiculous. They could chop their budget in half and still spend as much as they did in 1980, when the U.S. was not exactly helpless. But what would happen if defence industries lost half their contracts? The private sector couldn't begin to absorb anything like half of America's 2.25 million military personnel. That's where smart socialism could save the US. If they cut their defence budget in half, they would have $150 billion a year to invest in education, medicare, housing and the environment. Let's put it this way: They would have $410 million per day to help make people's lives better. At that rate Washington could double its current yearly support for education in 12 weeks. In 15 weeks it could double its health spending. In 33 days it could double its housing assistance. Pollution control? A doubled budget in 11 days. U.S. socialism needn't look to the East for a model. The smartest, most successful socialist system in the world is right in the U.S. armed forces. American military personnel enjoy good, subsidized family housing, free medical and dental care. Education is first-rate and free. The armed forces are equal opportunity employers who've done more for America's minorities than any other institution in the country. What's more, you can retire on a good pension after only 20 years. You keep many of your perks, like medicare and shopping at the PX. If smart socialism is good enough for the American military, which produces nothing, it ought to be good enough for the civilians whose productivity has paid for it all these years. - Vancouver Province LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Good questions posed Editor, The Star, Sir, The questions asked by Bonnie Cappon, (Aldergrove Star 7 Dec 89) are, I agree, legitimate questions many people would like answered. I support her especially in questioning the lack of concern of the churches and their people and I am appalled at the silence of people on the many abortion issues in the news and lack of support of the stand taken by Rev. Burtch and the radio backup support of Rev. Bemice Gerard.

LETTERS WELCOME The Aldergrove Star invites lettes to the editor on topics of interest to the community. The letters-to-the-editor column is a chance for comment on what has been written in the paper. It is our readers' opportunity to respond to what newsmakers of the area have been saying. We especially encourage readers to write on topics of local interest, although letters which enlighten or stimulate thought are welcome. We ask that letters be free of libel and bear the name and address of the author. Submissions must include a written signature. We prefer letters to be typed and double spaced, and present the comment as clearly and briefly as possible. The editor reserves the right to condense or reject letters. At the end of three months, how long will that (wait) be? The ministry is presently selecting a panel for a "peer review", investigating the inner workings at LMH, and will make subsequent recommendations, with the understanding these are to be implemented by the hospital. At this time it is vital each of us stays informed and perform a watchdog role, as our health care standards at LMH will affect each of us in our lifetimes. We encourage each resident of the community to join the LMH Society and exercise your democratic right of election of board members at the annual general meeting. The public should also be aware that under the current system, LMH employees are denied a vote. Is this not archaic? Communication and morale at all levels of the hospital requires improvement. Let's work together to build a fine community hospital, as the residents are showing they are not apathetic.

CLIFF ROBSON Aldergrove United behind Scholtens Editor, The Star, Sir, About your article on page 2 (dated Dec. 7, 1989) by Kurt Langmann. There is an error about John Scholtens' candidates feeling bad because 10 names were cut off at the bottom of the list. The last meeting that I went to with all the candidates present, we were all asked who would allow their name to be cut off if it came to a point at the founding meeting of the Fort Langley- Aldergrove riding association where only 10 candidates could run. Everyone put up their hand as being the one who would go to the bottom of the list. This is how we feel about John Scholtens -- that everyone would sacrifice themselves for him. We will stand behind him.

Everywhere you look there are signs of the upcoming holidays from the wish tree in the T- Junction to the sounds of carols floating out from the music room. Once again this year Aldergrove is supporting the annual Christmas hamper drive. It's coming along well. All students are participating enthusiastically in events such as the candy cane guess, thanks to Mrs. Payne's class, Santa grams by the music department, Santa's breakfast by the cafeteria students and grad committee where over 200 people were served, and the soc hop on December 20. All of these events are making a difference for those at Christmas who required hampers this year. The Christmas dance, hosted by Skyline Music was enjoyed by many students last Thursday night. The students and staff of Aldergrove Secondary wish everyone a safe and very happy holiday. See you in the new year! Merry Ctyristnjas ai}d a Happy "New Year from the friendly folks at BIGD.

As both teams were fairly well matched the play was back and forth until Coquitlam finally scored with eight minutes having already ticked off the clock. Erin Miller replied for the Pavers just 3 minutes with an unassisted goal to tie up the game. Only seven seconds later Coquitlam again went ahead with a quick goal. Not to be out done the Pavers tiny Maria Mach proving that size isn't everything scored her first of two goals ten seconds later to again tie the score. Erin Biller put Aldergrove ahead 3-2 at 5:59 with another unassisted goal. Coquitlam tied the game a minute later but Erin not about to give up took a slick pass from Tina Harty to go ahead in the score. With Aldergrove tiring as three players were missing with the flu, Coquitlam came back to score three quick goals to end the period 7-4. In the second period Aldergrove kept battling to keep Coquitlam off the scoresheet. Maria scored her second goal of the evening with an assist to Erin with two minutes left in the game. Thirty- six seconds later Tanya Powless popped in the Pavers last goal. Every girl got a chance to play defense in an effort to keep from getting too tired and all played extremely well keeping the shots on netminder Trevor Butte down to a bare minimum. The final score in this nailbiter of a game was Aldergrove*7, Coquitlam 10. PETITE B Saturday morning at 9:15 and the West Pro Energy Flames are taking to the ice to play the Langley Rug Doctors. It didn't take the Flames long to get on the scoreboard when Heather Gray got her first of three goals at the 15:40 mark. Assisting Heather were Michelle Bettles and Hillary Pink. Langley fought hard and it was another seven minutes before Sheri Harty took a great pass from Amy Russenholt and slid the ring past the Langley netminder. Sheri finished the first period scoring at the 1:11 mark with assists going to defensemen Petra Mach and Erin Henthorne. To start off the second frame scoring Heather got a colourful goal when she took a pass from Hillary and popped the ring in past a startled Langley goalie. Aldergrove just kep on rolling with goals being scored by Hillary, Heather, Sheri and Desiree Dupuis. Enough can't be said about the three defensemen Willow Unruh, Petra and Erin who all worked very hard to keep the Langley players away from goalkeeper Shannon Bettles. Shannon also played an outstanding game stopping fifteen shots in Aldergrove's 8-3 win over Langley. TWEEN B Last on the ice were the Halls Meats Blades to play the North West Vancouver Eagles. Laurie Cuvilier opened the scoring at 15:24 with the assist to Heidi Letkeman. The Eagles didn't waste much time getting their first goal just thirty-five seconds later. The play was pretty even until the last two minutes when the Blades' Debbie Haber, Heidi Letkeman and Robin Gray, assisted by Jennifer Maksymetz, Suzanne Sullivan and Heidi, popped in three quick goals to end the period 4-1 for Aldergrove. With the Eagles visibly tiring in the second period the Aldergrove girls got a chance to play in different positions. Jennifer Maksymetz and Dyan Bettles both normally defensemen who rarely get a chance to score, both tallied for Aldergrove when playing on the forward line. Thinking that the game was over a little too soon the Aldergrove girls relaxed a little too much resulting in a goal for the Eagles in the last four seconds of the game. Except for this lapse of concentration Shanda Kirkpatrick played another great game in net for the Blades. The Petite C, Petite B and Tween B teams will all be travelling to Coquitlam to play in Coquitlam's Christmas tournament December 28, 29 and 30. Good luck to you all!

DECEMBER 21, 1989 Light campaign continues ALDERGROVE - The Chamber of Commerce's Christmas lights committee has spent about $11,000 on refurbished and new street decorations seen in the town core. Another $5,000 is put aside to purchase a closed trailer to store the decorations in. "It's always been a problem to fine someone with a barn or something to store them in," said chairman Trudi Campen. "The trailer should solve the problem, and help make the lights last longer." Energy-saving photoelectric switches turn the lights off during the day, to keep the hydro bill down. Funds were raised through private and corporate donations, and the fund-raising efforts are continuing so that decorations can be extended on Fraser Highway and 272 Street next year. An $18,300 grant from BC Lottery funds requires that at least another $19,000 must be raised in the community, before the full grant will be paid out. "They fund a third, up to the $18,300 limit, but fortunately there's not really any time limit hanging over our heads," said Campen. This is why the committee had set $55,000 total as their goal. "We have another casino night coming up - we raised over $8,300 at the last one - so that should take us halfway to the $19,000 more that we need." The casino and community donations are hoped to complete the second phase in time for next Christmas. The residential Christmas lights competition attracted 13 entries for its first year, and these will be judged by the committee on Dec. 20 (after The Star has gone to press). Prize winner will be published in The Star next week.

"In the view of the majority of the board, these terms are seen to be more cumbersome and awkward than their use would warrant in the interests of 'gender-neutral' language." Chairperson Gil Blair said in a letter to the Minister of Municipal Affairs. Similar opposition to the terms has come from other regional districts throughout the Province. cert.

MON - FRIDAY 9 - 9 SATURDAY9-6 SUNDAY 10-6 I Elks host hearing impaired students LANGLEY - With flashing fingers singing the words of Jingle Bells, enthusiastic students from Uplands elementary school hearing-impaired program celebrated Christmas with a sing-along Wednesday. The occasion was the annual Christmas party sponsored by Elks Lodge No. 259. The lodge has been a partner in education with the school since 1987. "This is our third Christmas party," said Dave Sinclair, lodge representative. "We're going to keep it going as long as we can." Although hearing impaired children are a special interest of the Elks organization, at Uplands, Lodge 259 has extended their generosity to include the entire school. "They donate a lot of their time to help out on Sports Day when the whole school is involved, and they often act as judges at cake decorating contests" said hearing-impaired teacher Kathy Bromley. "They definitely care about the kids," she said. "They've been really good to us," said Peter Good, principal of Uplands elementary speaking of the lodge's committment to the partnership. "They provide a lot of special equipment for deaf children. We've had computer equipment that's been donated," he said. When the school's playground equipment had to be replaced, parents and Elks took up the challenge. "The PTG put in $1,500 and the Elks put in $3,000 last year for phase one of the replacement of our playground equipment," said Good. At Wednesday's party, Elks representative George LaStrange presented Good with a cheque for $1,250 to further improve the playground. The only elementary provincial resource program for the hearing impaired in B.C. besides Jericho Hill school, the Uplands program uses a total communication approach to learning. Teachers use sign language, body language and voice to communicate with students. Twenty-one students from all over B.C. attend the program and are partially integrated into regular classrooms. The provincially-funded program employs four teachers and five interpreters. flMif Maynard Shillinglaw presented a $750 cheque to Salvation Army Lt. Dave Grice to help the Army's annual Christmas turkey dinner in Abbotsford, at the McCallum Activity Centre. If you wish to help the Army's good works, call Maynard at R&M Tire, 856-5011. "Thanks, and have a nice holiday season," added the men.

Aldergrove Centre Mall 856-7000 10 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, DECEMBER 21, 1989 Students say "Scrooge" BURNABY - Simon Fraser University students are "saying Scrooge" to a proposal by SFU president William Saywell to increase tuition fees by six per cent for the 1990 academic year. Student representatives are gearing up for a campaign to call for tuition fee freeze and a provincial Royal Commission on post-secondary education. Student Society spokesman Nikos Harris said the Board of Governors will vote, Jan. 23, on increases of six percent for undergraduates and up to 139 percent for graduate students. Fees have increased by almost 200 percent since 1979 and are among the highest in Canada. "Students are extremely angry," said Harris. "They're saying that after ten straight years of tuition fee increases and a continual decline in the quality of education, enough is enough." There will be a public forum on the issue at SFU on Jan. 18, and other universities and colleges will be staging similar campaigns, said Harris. "We anticipate that 1990 will be an election year and we will be out to make spiralling tuition fees an election issue.""

Mounties investigate MPs OTTAWA - Canada's Mounties are investigating 15 of the country's parliamentarians, including 11 for possible criminal offenses, RCMP Commissioner Norman Inkster said last week. Appearing before a House of Commons committee, Inkster would not reveal the names but said the investigations involved both government and nongovernment members. Some have already been made public, he said. Inkster said the RCMP, which has come under fire for political favoritism recently, will pursue the investigations irrespective of the party involved.

Gripping tale of flight to freedom VANCOUVER - Just prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1864, there was intense fear among blacks living in California that the state would join the Confederacy. They would become -slaves again. In an effort to avoid that possibility, 400 American blacks hired a boat which brought them to Victoria. Several members of the group were the original settlers of Salt Spring Island. What these families had to endure on their journey to freedom is chronicled in Slave, by Anne Cameron, the final drama in this year's Sextet anthology, Sunday, December 24 at 1:05 p.m. on CBC Radio. "Sylvia Stark, one of the women who escaped from California and came to settle on Salt Spring, left her memoirs to the Victoria Archives," explained Cameron. "This is what I've used as the basis for SLAVE." The work is a lyrical and passionate docudrama. Sylvia Stark's granddaughter asks her to recount their family history. Through flashbacks we leam their story, much as the real Sylvia Stark recalled it in her memoirs. Featured in the cast are Lovie Ely as Old Sylvia, Brenda Crichlow as Harriet Stark, Lovena Fox as Young Sylvia, Blu Mankuma as Stark, and Louise Rose as Harriet Tubman. [ mature i B.C.

Roadshow '91 will tour B.C. communities from May to October 1991. VANCOUVER - Premier Bill Vander Zalm, star of political stage, is set to make his movie debut - at least on television - this Christmas. Vancouver TV station CKVU is planning to screen The Sinter- klaas Fantasy, a semi-auto- biolgraphical film about Vander Zalm's boyhood in the Netherlands, on Dec. 23. A nostalgic Christmas story, the movie was shot mostly in 1987 and supposed to be released the following year but production delays shelved it until now. It includes scenes shot in Fantasy Garden World, the Richmond theme park run by Vander Zalm's wife, Lillian, as well as a visit to Noordwykeroot, the premier's Dutch birthplace. The premier, says a CKVU news release, will take viewers via his magic tulip rainbow to experience the joys and wonders of Sinter- klaas, the Dutch version of Santa Claus. "Sail aboard the glistening white and gold fantasy ship through the canals of Amsterdam where the Sinterklaas parade is underway. Then it's back to Canada where Bill and his friends will-hop on a train to be taken to Vancouver's Fantasy Garden World." Vander Zalm, who acts as narrator, got involved with shooting the one-hour movie before re-entering politics in 1986. He and Lillian shot the Dutch portions of the film during a 1987 holiday. shuttle bus service, every half hour, will take visitors down to view a wide variety of larger yachts. There's no need for off-shore cruising enthusiasts to journey down to Seattle or Bellingham this year; these big vessels are part of Vancouver's show. Secondly, there is a magnificient draw prize courtesy of Royal Cruise Lines, a fourteen day luxury cruise for two aboard the "Jewel Of The Caribbean", worth an estimated $14,000.00 -- a far cry from Gilligan's "tiny ship, the S.S. Minnow." Up to 250 exhibitors have signed on to display their wares in the 250,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space. Sailing and power boats, marine equipment, inflatables, sailboards and canoes will be joined by marine electronics and accessory displays, marine charters and travel-resort destination exhibits. Sailing schools, sporting goods and fishing equipment are also part of this year's show. Altogether, an outdoors-oriented treat for the whole family. Running from Wednesday, Feb. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 11 the 1990 Boat Show will be opened from noon until 10 p.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Sunday. The Vancouver International Boat Show is a joint venture between Canadian National Sportsmen's Shows limited, and the Marine Trades Association of B.C. Proceeds from this Show are committed to marine related projects within British Columbia. The simple pleasures of Christmas! May you and your family share in all its wondrous joys.

Fighting illiteracy in Langley-Aldergrove ALDERGROVE - With International literacy Year just around the corner, 23 adult students are learning to read and write at the Langley Learning Centre. As part of the "Read all about it" literacy program, each student is matched with a volunteer tutor who has attended a 12-hour training course on teaching reading to adult students. The two work together at home or at the Learning Centre facility. "As the student learns and changes," says Kaye Wagner, an instructor at the centre, "the goals, activities, and materials are changed to adapt to what the student wants or needs. For example, a student who works in automotives may initially want to read so that he can read at home. Then, he may want to go on and be able to read automotive manuals." The Learning Centre at Sundel Square in downtown Langley acts as a resource centre where the tutor or student can come for assistance in testing, selection and location of materials and equipment, and planning for future activities. The centre operates on a flexible schedule, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Aldergrove residents interested in receiving help with their reading or writing or in becoming a tutor, are invited to visit the Learning Centre office at No. 112 - 20216 Fraser Highway, or to phone 534-0333. There is no charge for registration or instruction. OTTAWA - New Democratic Party MP Jim Fulton is calling for the resignation of failed leadership candidate Simon de Jong after televised revelations of de Jong wearing a hidden mike while striking a deal to throw his support to Dave Barret in return for being named the party whip if Barrett won. De Jong later denied any deal had been made, and then gave his support to Audrey McLaughlin, the eventual candidate winner. As a key figure in the Barret campaign, Fulton was enraged over de Jong's betrayal. "I think he should consider resigning and find another career," Fulton said. De Jong and two other leadership candidates, Ian Waddell and Steven Langdon agreed to wear the mikes during the balloting. That allowed the Journal to pick up a 46-second backroom exchange between de Jong and Barrett in which de Jong was promised the position of party whip - for a raise of $7,000 a year - in exchange for bringing his camp over to Barrett. The episode took place after Saturday's second ballot and urging from de Jong's staff that he support Barrett. Four minutes after the deal was made between Barrett and de Jong, reporters asked de Jong if a deal had been made, de Jong said that there was no deal. Dickson Bailey, de Jong's campaign manager, took the blame for the incident. "I just Barrett," Bailey said. "I will take forget that he had the tape on the blame for not informing Mr. when he went in to see Mr. Barrett." McLaughlin destined to failure? TORONTO - Audrey McLaughlin, the newly elected leader of the NDP is destined for failure, says the president of the National Citizen's Coalition, David Somer- ville. "Audrey McLaughlin is a passionate puppet leading a party clinging to the failed policies of the past," said Somerville. "She is no Margaret Thatcher." He claims her leadership is the case of the blind leading the blind.

While socialist governments in New Zealand and Australia look for ways to expand their successful free trade agreement, the NDP bitterly oppose a similar agreement for Canada. While socialist France and Spain embrace privatization, the NDP opposes it to stroke powerful public service unions," Somerville said.

Power will soon be needed here VICTORIA - Energy Minister Jack Davis says beginning in 1998 B.C. will be taking back electrical power that now flows to the U.S. from three dams on Columbia River. The Keenleyside, Duncan and Mica dams allowed downstream U.S. power plants to generate extra electricity. B.C. sold its share of that power to the U.S. for 30 years. But Davis says at the end of the 30 years - in 1998 - B.C. will exercise its option to take the power back. The electricity exceeds what would be generated by the Site C Dam. But Davis says the Site C will still be needed because of growing energy demands in B.C.

According to the annual study of trends in farmland values released by the Farm Credit Corporation (FCC), the price of farmland increased nationally by 4.9 per cent between July 1, 1988 and July 1, 1989. Land values have gone up in all provinces. However, there are considerable variations between provinces and within each province. Thus, although values for all of western Canada increased, the changes in Saskatchewan were marginal. Values declined slightly in the southern part of the province, and rose in the north. Strong economic activity contributed to the high cost of urban housing in central Ontario and greatly influenced the value of farmland, which rose by 24 percent in that province. Land values rose slightly in Quebec, reflecting the stablility in Quebec agriculture. Stable land values prevailed in the Maritimes, with the exception of Nova Scotia, where values increased by 13 percent. The results of the 1989 study contrast with those of previous years, when a decline in the value of agricultural land characterized a good portion of the present decade. Between 1981 Lamb club news ALDERGROVE - The Otter 4-H Lamb Club meeting was held for elections and the following were elected: President - Jeremy Baker, Vice President - Michael Thome, Recording Secretary - Michelle Stockwell, Treasurer - Susan McLaren, and Corresponding Secretary - Kate Baker. The committee chairpersons are: Phoning - Kevin Jones, Cynthia Schroeder, Junior Council Executive - Jeremy Baker, Michael Thome, Fund Raising - Gabe McLaren, Tack - Soren Lancaster, Educational Display - Michelle Stockwell, Club Banquet Decoration - Dixie Folly, Club Banquet Organization - Susan McLaren, District Banquet Decorations - Susan McLaren, Cutest Animal - Natasha Simpson, Reporter - Mona Meyles, Gregory Whelton, Social Committee - Janeen Schroeder, Philip Smith, Billy Folly and Year Book - Gayle McLaren. and 1988, the value of farmland fell by more than 35 percent across the country. This year's increase brings the average value of farmland almost to the same level it was at 10 years ago. "The reversal of trends reflects the cautious optimism of farmers and although the increase in land values is modest, it is an indication of the ongoing financial recovery in Canadian agriculture," said Jim Hewitt, Chairman of Farm Credit Corporation.

The conference, entitled "Relationships: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", was for all Peer Counsellors in the lower mainland with over 150 students in attendance. After registration, students were invited to play volleyball in the gym. This gave everyone the chance to meet with all the other people from different schools. Following a pizza feed was the keynote address by Jim and Judy Sellnor on "Building a Better Relationship". They talked about the various stages people go through in a relationship with other people. Students were impressed with the need for risk-taking and vulnerability in reaching Out to others. The Sell- nors were quite frank about the commitment and hard work involved in pursuing a relationship to its furthest stage. After the keynote, the counsellors broke up into mixed teams and the Prince of Wales Peer Counsellors showed all 150 students how they introduce their grade 8's to high school. The games included three legged races, passing an orange from neck to neck along your team, blowing up a balloon and popping it by squeezing a teammate, and even going so far as to drag your teammates "bottoms-first" across the gym floor. With such wild and crazy activities no one had much of a choice but to get to know their neighbour! When the games were finished everyone broke up to stay with their billets. This provided the Aldergrove Peer Counsellors with an opportunity to find out more about the Prince of Wales and McGee programs as they were each required to complete an interview with their host. Saturday morning started off with "energizers" before the counsellors broke up into groups to discuss how the Peer Counselling program was implemented by different schools. These sessions were led by Prince of Wales Peer Counsellor alumni that had volunteered their time to assist with the conference. The second session was on a similiar vein. Everyone found it interesting to see how other schools operated. Some schools do not take the Peer Counselling program for credit, at other schools it is limited to grade twelve students only and at others they focus strictly on establishing tutoring relationships with younger students. Following a game in the Outdoors, Judy Fairholm explained to the group the various types of abuse in the family as part of another keynote session entitled "Child Abuse". Trie cdunselllors learned of ways to offer Support to victims of abuse. Lunch came next and after it the group broke into workshop sessions of their choice. These inluded, "Handling Stress', "Peer Pressure" and "Drugs and Alcohol". The workshops were helpful, informative and interesting. The "Handling Stress" workshop filled up the quickest as high school students find managing their time and dealing with stress a priority concern. Following the workshops, students broke into debriefing sessions with their school groups. Aldergrove students discussed what they viewed as the best idea they had seen all weekend, what they thought they were doing well at Aldergrove and how they personally wanted to change or grow as a follow-up to the challenges provided during the course of the conference. The conference was great for the Aldergrove Peer Counsellors as it provided the team with the opportunity to build team spirit and re-energize them for their months of work ahead. Environment tops new B.C. priorities VICTORIA - Premier Bill Vander Zalm has identified the environment as the government's number one priority, and cabinet has approved a strategy of tough enforcement, immediate action and public involvement. Key elements in the plan include a white paper in the spring, to focus discussion at a series of public meetings across the province, and the establishment of an authority, with a $6.5-million budget from lottery funds, to develop ways of handling hazardous waste. Government will invite proposals to build two solid waste processing and recovery plants in separate areas. Another $900,000 from lottery funds will help UBC undertake research in ways of avoiding pollution from acid mine drainage. B.C. also has a new wilderness policy that outlines how it will identify potential wilderness areas with the help of public consultation. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, DECEMBER 21, 1989 MCC ships aid to Viet Nam —-'-k 17 CLEARBROOK - The Mennonite Central Committee of B.C. is sending a 40-foot container of material aid to Viet Nam. The shipment is scheduled to leave Vancouver docks on January 2. Shipment, which includes approximately 40,000 lbs. of blankets, health and school kits, is made possible by donations from persons in this province. Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) has an administrative office in Viet Nam and called for the aid shipment following three tropical storms that struck central Viet Nam from October 3 to 13. Winds and torrential rains centered on Nghe Tinh and Quang Binh provinces. Approximately 100 persons died and over 800 were injured, 90,038 houses were destroyed, and many hospitals were also damaged. Crop damage will affect some 145,000 hectares. The blankets shipped will be made available to those who lost their homes and contents, says MCC executive director Waldo Neufeld. RAINBOW INTERNATIONAL CARPET DYEING & CLEANING CO.

BRIGHOUSE PET & SUPPLIES INC 19475 Fraser Hwy., Surrey 530-5813 18 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, DECEMBER 21, 1989 A very busy season i> By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Christmas shopping, wrapping, baking, singing in the Choral Group, tree decorating and cleaning house and then writing the column in my spare time has me wondering about buying roller skates, but when I went to the doctor he said my blood pressure was up but advised me to keep active in order to keep young. There's been so many things happening this week that I hardly know where to start. The Choral Group wound up their Christmas program Tuesay at the OAP dinner. Must say the dinner was most enjoyable and many people remarked on how nice it was to relax and be served by such pleasant people. Thanks to the Catholic Church Women's Association. Too, Mary Sanderson and her crew are to be congratulated on the great job of decorating the hall and thanks to Roy Lockhart who provides the tree. Bowling was fairly well attended with three carpets used and a pleasant afternoon was spent. Wednesday dance was very good, seventy attended. The Spot dance was won by Don Croft and Ann Halonet. It was Anne's birthday so the dancers celebrated with her. BRIGHTEN YOUR LIFE ALDERGROVE - Volunteers are needed to help children with special needs particpate in programs offered by the Aldergrove Community Centre Society. If you can share two to three hours per wee you will be able to provide the support a child needs to participate in activities he or she would not otherwise be able to. Please call Joanne at 856-2899 or drop by the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre at 26770 - 29th Avenue between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday to find Out how you can start the New Year "bright"! The 50-50 was won by Doris Pelleck and Opal Thomas. Irene Rasmussen was the winner of a poinsettia. Saturday dance was down in attendance. Door prizes were won by Velma Phazakes and Lou Martin and Sophia didn't get her name and Lorraine Schumck. Spot dance prizes went to Florence Mehden and Selina Davies and Gwen Keay and Roy Lockhart. Though the attendance was down it was a good dance. The Jamboree is being held Sunday, Dec. 17 but haven't any news of that. * There are so many concerts and plays and choirs performing in these last days before Christmas but for a real laugh one has to see the pantomime at the White Rock theatre. It is "Jack and the Beanstalk" and there is the cow and the beanstalk and every character from the fairy tale, but a scene in outer space with the Big Dipper, the Milky Way and the Moon with Santa streaking across the sky with his sleigh and reindeer is so well done it's hard to imagine who dreamed up suclf a clever idea. There were a few remarks aimed at the governments but it was all in fun and just what's needed at this time of year. Roy St. John passed away this week and though he wasn't an OAP member he was generous in donating at the time we purchased the hall so on behalf of the O.A.P. I would like to extend our sympathy to Doris, his wife. Gordon and Doris Lockhart had the misfortune of being involved in an accident at 264th and 16th Ave. and we're all hoping for their speedy recovery. Next Sunday being Christmas Eve I will not be writing a column so on behalf of the O.A.P. No. 711 want to wish you all a "Merry Christmas". I read recently that "Ideas are very much like children - your own are wonderful." Deadline for book contest VANCOUVER - Deadline for entries in the 1990 B.C. Book Prizes competition is Jan. 5.

Regional library a winner ABBOTSFORD - GEAC Canada, a world leader in the supply of automated library systems, has announced that the Fraser Valley Regional library is the winner of a $1,000 merit award in their computer documentation contest. GEAC sponsored the contest among their North American customers to collect examples of documentation on the use of their computer system in different libraries. They will use the entries to improve the manuals that they provide to their customers. Fraser Valley Regional Library was one of three winners from over twenty entries. The other winners were the Miami Dade County Library, Florida, serving a population of 1.5 million and the University of Tennessee library. FVRL entered its "In House Computer Manual" prepared by senior computer operator Jenny Newman. This comprehensive document covers all aspects of computer operation for library staff using the system. Newman has been responsible for the development and maintenance of the manual since the GEAC system was implemented at FVRL in 1984. The $1,000 Merit Award is a credit to the purchase of any additional GEAC hardware or software. This will be useful in the coming year when the library will change to a new and larger GEAC 9000 system.

I *aW*aW>_W / # Mi THE ALDERGROVE STAR, DECEMBER 21, 1989 21 TRA VEL TIME AND SPACE Untapped cosmic wormholes Cosmologists have a far-reaching idea for an instant trans-universe transport system. It would get you from Earth to Vega in no time at all. This feat, long held to be impossible, would enable our descendants to build a galactic empire, assuming there is no-one out there to object. It has now received strong backing from leading space scientists, who have produced - on paper at least - an engineering model to show how it could be done. The distances between the stars are vast. Even at the 1,400 mph speed of Concorde, it would take two million years to reach the nearest star. light, itself, travelling at 670 million mph, would take four years to make the journey. And any journeys faster than light have, until now, been forbidden by Albert Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity. At the speed of light, so Einstein's theory goes, the length of a spaceship would shrink to zero, time on board would be eternally frozen, and any further acceleration would require infinite energy. Thus it is impossible to go any faster. But there is a theoretical let-out: Einstein's much more subtle and complex general theory of relativity of 1916 states that matter creates the space and time which surround it. This indicates that space has an elastic, or warped character. A large mass, such as a star, causes space to curve in the region immediately surrounding it. This has long raised speculation that a spaceship could disappear in one part of space and reappear immediately in another, without passing any point in between. At the sub-microscopic level, according to Einstein's 1916 equations, space has a "foamlike" structure. Down at the" scale of the Planck constant, the smallest distance that can exist, a billionth of a billionth of a trillionth of a centimetre, space is permeated with tunnels or "wormholes" like a Swiss cheese. Through one of these, if one could make oneself small enough, one could travel across light-years through the hidden dimension of "hyperspace". This idea led Einstein and his colleague Nathan Rosen to propose in 1935 the idea of an "Einstein-Rosen bridge": that the normal space in which we live could be represented as a curved piece of paper folded over upon itself. One dot on the paper could represent the Earth and another, say, the star Vega, 26 light-years away. To travel between Earth and Vega along the surface of the paper could take centuries. But to go through the paper, from dot to dot, through a wormhole bridge, would take no time at all. The most obvious mechanism for a journey through hyperspace seemed to be via black holes. These collapsed relics of stars, with such huge gravitational fields that not even light can escape from them, are true space warps. But it became clear that there was no way a spaceship could escape being crushed into nothingness by the point of infinite density that lies just inside the hole. Scientists turned back to wormholes. Prof. Kip Thome, of the California Institute of Technology, who had long dismissed the feasability of hyperspace journeys, changed his mind two years ago while helping the astronomer Carl Sagan with technical details for his science-fiction novel, Contact. He followed this with an exercise in rigorous theoretical form. With Dr. Michael Morris, of the University of Wisconsin, he has published a paper in Physics Review Letters, a leading journal of theoretical physics, showing how it could be done. The Thorne-Morris solution is ■^ksSfc A l\ •*?!* TX) •*****ay t*-1*-* warmth of Christmas bring m IV *" , y^ £ you love, good fortune and good Cdns^S| health!

Wormholes have a positive electric charge, and positive charges repel one another. A sufficiently strong electric field, forced down the wormhole, could open it until wide enough to admit a spaceship. This could be achieved by building two gigantic metal spheres, both of them perfect conductors of electricity, and placing them several light-years apart in space. The electric field generated by each of them would keep the tunnel open. There are two snags. First, each sphere would have to be some 50 million miles wide, half the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Morris believes in treading cautiously. "Before sending people in a spaceship through an enlarged wormhole, one would experiment by sending a radio message," he says. "The worm- hole could be much narrower and the metal spheres much smaller. The successful transmission of a message could be the prelude to widening the hole further to send people." The second snag is that one of the spheres would have to be installed at the other end of the planned journey to generate the exit point. And it would have to get there the long way round I 1 I CHRISTMAS, LEAD THE WAY! WITH A DAIRY QUEEN CAKE OR LOG. ■.#*■.«•«- 1 I It's the perfect way to show family and friends the best of the season.

He said that because the racers are very quiet and low-key, "The community doesn't realize the investment we've made there." The quarter-scale race track is on Langley municipality-owned land adjacent to the Jackman Road dumpsite, and was built with volunteer labor and donated materials. Still, it's been judged one of the best of its type in North America, and is the only one in Canada. Youngsters start out racing as early as five years of age, and everything must meet high safety and noise control standards before it's allowed to be used on the site. The spokesman noted that it was not at all comparable to the proposed international raceway which has raised the ire of south Aldergrove residents. "We're youth group oriented, not SEARCH-A-WORD By MARIE JENSEN The idea of this word puzzle is to find the words in the word list which are hidden somewhere in the puzzle, either up and down, across, or diagonally. REMEMBER! Some ot the words hidden are backwards too. - GOOD LUCK - on a commercial scale." "We want to work together ... to schedule our events to support community events. There is another group which wants to build a trail for carriage riding (horses) and we'd all have more to gain if it wrapped around our track. It would help guarantee a larger greenbelt area, and there isn't much else that can be done with the dump once it's closed down." Mayor John Beales concurred. "The old dump site can't be used for anything but recreation for many years to come." DAY ' BINGO 7 DAYS A WEEK DOORS OPEN 11 A.M. Mon.Fri. Start 11-30 a.m. Sat. & Sun.

Thousands of people need blood every day, in fact, every twenty seconds someone needs blood. The blood donor clinic is a way for students and staff of Aldergrove Secondary School to participate in this service vital to the health of people everywhere. The Peer Counsellors are counting on the community to donate as well. Santa Claus will be there donating too, so donors may bring the whole family to visit with the "star" guest. ALDERGROVE - The Revitalization Committee received approval of a more formalized structure at the Dec. 13 Chamber of Commerce meeting. "We did this to receive more feedback from different segments of the community," said spokesman Trudi Campen. There will be four members from the chamber, four from service clubs, and one each from the Langley Arts Council, Langley Township Council and one "at large." A technical resource group will include representatives from Canada Forces Station Aldergrove and the township's community development and parks and recreation departments. The recommendation has been forwarded to municipal hall. The mandate includes development of an overall strategy for economic development and beautification of the town, and co-ordination of efforts to implement same. It will provide input to township council, other governments and industry regarding the community plan (presently under review by the township), economic development plans and community improvement projects. Sub-committees may be formed as working groups for specific purposes.

Rushing up to the house, I noticed a Gideon Bible in the living room. We read together from the book of Romans: "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23). Eternal life is not a reward but a gift from God through the shedding of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary. We are unable to work for eternal life because "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." (Isaiah 64:6). Their eyes were soon opened when they saw how God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ had come into this world to save us by dying at Calvary and by being raised again from the dead both physically and spiritually. In a few moments, both he and his wife had confessed their guilty condition before God; and received the Lord Jesus into then- life as personal Saviour and Lord. They then prayed together and thanked the Lord Jesus for coming into their life. Several days later, they told me that they had the best sleep of their life. They had never known that the Lord Jesus could come into a person's life just like that; and give them inner peace. Actually, that's the reason why the Lord Jesus came into this world in the first place. "Come unto me, all ye that labour, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. The Lord Jesus is the reason for the season - the best gift of all to all.

While fumbling aimlessly through an "evolved" mess in my room the other day, I uncovered an essay I had written awhile back. Since this is the Christmas season, a time for joy, peace, love, happiness, and, indeed, the time of get-togethers with family members, I found this all too fitting. Read with this thought in mind; I've hardly exaggerated at all... I suppose that one of the all time great annoyances are those icky, disgusting, relative kisses. Everyone, sooner or later, has to go through them, and there is always that possibility of having the discomfort rather often. Personally, I think the slobber and spitting, on the older relative's behalf, is deliberate. Now, your're probably asking yourself, "Why does she think it's deliberate?" Well, the answer is pretty straight forward and clear. You see, my theory is that sometime, during their life, one of their elderly relatives gave them a slobbery kiss. So, in fact, they are putting the younger generation through the torture they had endured themselves. Kind of makes you wonder how you'll turn out, eh? Anyhow, I suppose there are many ways of dodging one of those "memorable" kisses. Some, for example, which are ducking, kicking, making rude gestures and, my personal favorite, telling them that you have THE FLU'. Yes, that usually keeps them away, far, far away, from the dangers of a germ. Of course, if none of the above seems to have any effect whatsoever, then I suggest locking yourself in the washroom. You'll soon discover that when your slobbering relatives find themselves in urgent use of a toilet, you'll probably be able to strike up some sort of a deal. However, I advise the use of lawyers and documents in this situation, otherwise you could end up a victim of memory failure. One final note, be on the lookout for a tall, old lady, wearing (get this) false buck teeth. She has glasses and spits while she speaks, especially at the dinner table. If you do happen to come across her, please, for my sake, make a citizen's arrest!!! This has been dedicated to every adult, in hopes that after reading this you will take pity on us unfortunate little children who just can't possibly take it anymore. Have a holly, jolly Christmas, but try not to forget the real reason for this festive celebration. Subscribers to The Aldergrove Star get value ...

Concessions given in tenders to small garbage truckers THE ALDERGROVE STAR, DECEMBER 21, 1989 31 MURRAYVILLE - Truckers of household garbage will still have to post a $50,000 surety bond if they want to bid on one of four routes being put to Tender by local government under a new municipal collection package. But if they want to bid on two or more of the service routes, the required bank letter of credit will only be for an additional $20,000. Officials here say the small independent truckers who up until now have worked a free enterprise system, are satisfied with the charge. A spokesman for the group recently told council School plans for emergencies LANGLEY - School district trustees have reaffirmed chairman Marlene Grinnell and vice- chairman Barbara Foxwell for the positions at their annual general meeting. Trustees are developing a district policy for schools to have emergency response plans in place. A committee of school and district administrators are working on plans to be used in the event of disaster Such as earthquake. Drills have been Outlined, a school emergency first aid kit is recommended and in-service for personnel is under development. Research is also being done regarding emergency communication. Committee members were Janice Clark, Gerry Thompson, Ted Akune and Don MacKenzie. Students began moving into the new Alex Hope Elementary School, Dec. 11, as most of the major construction has been completed. The new Walnut Grove Secondary School should be ready before its September 1991 opening date, as working drawings are near completion and a 16-month construction period is projected. The two-storey building will include a teaching cafeteria.

They now intend to form a consortium and between the four of them raise a quarter of the $70,000 each. Trucker spokesman Len Remple two weeks ago told councilors that if the garbage men were forced out of business, the 'big boys' would take over, and eventually the cost to the township and in the end to the homeowner would go up as competiton was eliminated. Township win call for tenders for five years. MATSQUI - Flans to amend the official community plan received mixed reaction at Monday's public hearing. The first of the two-part amendment dealt with rezoning land at 3384 Mt. Lehman Road, for a proposed elementary school. The nine-acre parcel is owned by Aldergrove's Free Reform Church, who purchased the land in 1984. The congregation hoped they would finally see their new facility built, when the creation of Matsqui's community plan designated the area for a new elementary school and the local school board became interested in purchasing six acres. A-G proposes family law changes VANCOUVER - Attorney General Bud Smith has requested the advice of the legal community on a proposal to improve the public's access to B.C.'s family courts. "As the Justice Reform Committee found, no area of law is as emotionally-charged as that which deals with the results of a broken marriage," -Smith said. "I want British Columbia's court system to assist people in solving those problems - not hinder them." j-*^ The proposal is outlined in a discussion paper entitled "Court Jurisdiction and Procedures in Family Law". The discussion paper seeks to resolve the problem of overlapping jurisdiction between Provincial and Supreme Courts which can result in delays, duplication of proceedings and confusion to the public. It proposes a court model that allows the public to deal with family law matters in their local communities, rather than having to go to larger urban centres. It gives Provincial Court Judges wider powers to solve problems of custody and financial support for families. It proposes Court Intake Officers be on hand to help people fill out 'documents, answer their questions about the process and link them up with counsellors and legal aid lawyers when necessary. However, lack of funds in the budget has forced the school board to put the project on hold indefinitely. The loss of the sale also suspended plans for the congregation's new facility. A large number of the congregation packed council chambers hoping council would release the zoning, permitting them to seek other buyers. After the meeting, Mayor Dave Kandal told The Star council would be meeting with the school board in an effort to speed things up before making any further decisions on the zoning. The second part of the amendment designated lands at the northeast comer of upper MacLure Road and Ponderosa Street to become a passive park. Council received repeated praise from local residents, except one... Burt Lang, a long time area resident, agreed people need parks and was pleased council was dedicated to creating more of them. He added council should be looking to areas where land is cheaper. "I don't think it's very good planning for the municipality to spend in excess of $100,000 per acre, for park land," he said. Chamber needs another director ALDERGROVE - The Chamber of Commerce is looking for an eleventh director. Eight new directors were elected by acclamation, Dec. 13, and they join standing directors Gary Kenwood and Ida Fallowfield. The latter two still have one more year to serve. Elected were Trudi Campen, Rich Coleman, Bev Doman, Kurt Langmann, Gerald Long, Angie McDougal, Janice McMath and Doug Walkey. President Ken Barrell and the executive will continue to serve in their capacities, until the directors elect a new executive from among themselves at the first directors' meeting of the new year. The new officers will be swom in at the general meeting, Jan. 10. The Chamber has also extended honorary memberships to two businesses which have donated services. The Temple family's Valcraft Printing are printing the monthly newsletter and the Burns' family's Fraserview Electric installed the town's Christmas lighting, both at no charge to the Chamber.
