brings in mediator LANGLEY - A three-hour mid-day study session was called for Wednesday (after Star press deadline) by the school district's non-teaching staff. About 600 CUPE members were to meet at Cloverdale Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a study session regarding their contract disputes with District 35, Langley. Union negotiator Judi Armstrong said it would have minimal impact on students and teachers, aside from cancellation of a few field trips. The two CUPE locals, representing bus drivers, custodians, clerical and maintenance staff, and teachers' assistants, have already placed a ban on overtime and call-outs. Armstrong said contract talks are proceeding slowly, and the bargaining committee reviews its strike option at noon each day, however, "As long as the school district's negotiators have shown a willingness to bargain in good faith we have not exercised our strike mandate." The study sessions will bring, members up to date and allow their discussion on the outstanding issues, which at this point is primarily wages. Armstrong said "management is moving at a snail's pace...we're getting down to zero hour on the possibility of a strike." School board chairman Marlene Grinnell responded that the negotiations have been long, hard days but have been continually fruitful. Twenty-two more clauses were agreed to last week, leaving only 20 before full agreement. She said that CUPE local 1260 has been misleading the public regarding wage parity with Surrey locals, as recent job evaluations brought in extra money to the individuals concerned, and the current wage increase the district has offered will bring the clerical staff in line with Surrey. The union's proposal would pay Langley about $2 more per hour than comparable Surrey workers, and because of this dispute the two sides have agreed to bring in mediator John Kinzie this Friday. Grinnell said the district is much closer to agreement with local 1851 tradesmen, who are being offered a special adjustment similar to what local 1260 has already received, as well as the 12 percent increase offered to both unions. She hoped there would be no need for a full strike, but the district has advised special education students to stay home on Feb. 28, because the study session may adversely affect these students. Other students should not be affected, she expected. 'Friends' to invade hall -».-.-* Langley looks to the future MURRAYVILLE - A task force has been set up by Mayor John Beales. Called "Langley Tomorrow', the task force will attempt to set the directions in which the township will be moving in the 21 century. The 'Tomorrow' is seen as ending about 2015. ...mMxmmmmmmmm MmmWliiMmllW, ^^fclllllll By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - They're fed up with being pushed around by government, and they're calling themselves "Friends of the Fraser Valley." Their first target, says local spokesman Eileen Spencer, is the drilling program for natural gas proposed for two areas in the township of Langley by the joint venture oil companies, Dynamic and Conoco. They will be taking a large delegation to the March 5 evening meeting of township council in Murrayville, to let the hall know how unhappy they are with the sale of subsurface drilling rights by the provincial energy ministry. Spencer said the group, which includes a frequent south Aldergrove spokesman, Al Vickers, is particularly upset with the lack of proper notice of the drilling program which should have been provided to residents. She speculated that the natural gas exploration is probably a fait accompli at this point, but the Friends are letting government know that the residents aren't taking it any more. It is an election year for municipal government, which has alienated this area with its decisions regarding gravel pits, racetracks, garbage dumps and regional transfer stations and other development policies. This Monday they'll have to contend with a room overflowing with unfriendly "friends" -- perhaps they should change the venue to the Civic Centre, if it's big enough.

Poppy. ; Area targetted for Restraint, says Wenman natural gas drilling OTTAWA According to Robert Wenman, MP for Fraser Valley West, his constituents received exactly what they were asking him for in the latest federal budget. "Michael Wilson's budget hits every base: reduced multicultural grants, reduced subsidies to business, foreign aid has been cut, the CBC's budget is frozen, PetroCan is for sale, no more subsidies to oil companies, and federal spending has been capped," stated Wenman. "I am particularly satisfied that there will be no new taxes," added Wenman. Commenting on what is Wilson's sixth budget Wenman stated: "There is no painless way to restrain spending. Federal finance minister Michael Wilson defends budget, GST in Langley appearance... Please see page 3. Overall, I think that the budget does what I wanted it to do, namely cut spending in as fair as fashion as possible." Wilson's budget will cut spending by $19-billion over the next five years. Responding to comments made by provincial leaders Wenman said: "They (provincial governments) will understandably 'cry foul', but the reality is that the federal cuts represent less than one percent of provincial revenues. In my opinion the provinces are playing politics with this, and Ottawa bashing, its understandable." Public to vote on GST? ALDERGROVE - Local New Democrat Lynn Fairall says her party will be taking its fight against the Goods and Services Tax to the streets in April. "We've tried to bring some sense to Mr. (federal finance minister Michael) Wilson, but he's not listening, The NDP is always getting knocked for only criticizing and not having solutions, but the party under Audrey MacLaughlin has put together a program to fight the deficit without a GST," said Fairall, a former NDP candidate in the Fraser Valley West federal riding. "We have no choice but to take it to the streets, like the seniors had to do when they were threatened with indexation. Since the government won't hold a referendum on this tax, the working people will hold their own community ballots. There will be a public campaign on April 7, and in unionized workplaces on April 9. "We need people to take part in this fight, by working in polling boths, phoning, ballotting," said Fairall. She believes the New Democrats are the only party that can take an effective message to Ottawa that the west is completely alienated by the GST, free trade and cuts in transfer payments. By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - A multi- million dollar gamble on finding natural gas in this area is underway. Vancouver-based Dynamic Oil Ltd., in a joint venture with Conoco, paid $5-million for Crown subsurface lease rights to 18,000 acres in the valley last year, and has also secured leases to another 62,000 acres of freehold rights owned by individuals in the valley. Research, along with seismic testing over recent years, have identified three of the most promising locations for exploratory wells. These are a site near Zero Avenue and 256 Street, another near 232 Street and Fraser Highway, and one in Boundary Bay near Highway 99. Dynamic and Conoco held a series of open houses in the affected areas, Feb. 20-22, to provide information on the program. Representatives of the provincial Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources ministry were available to answer questions, and a resident from the south Aldergrove area was also allowed to set up her own information table, chronicling her harrowing experiences as a former neighbor of a Fort St. John area well blowout. Margaret Olson described how her life and property were trampled upon by crews working on the oil well, before, during and after the blowout, but a Dynamic Oil spokesman said the situation this woman suffered was, while famous and well- documented, not typical of the majority of these wells. He also said her particular complaint was regarding an oil well, which are more prone to this type of catastrophe than the natural gas wells the company sees a good chance of establishing in the valley area. Previous local experience in this area with 90 wells (on both sides of the international border) show no chance of "sour gas" and a remote possibility of oil. If oil is found it's not likely to be worth the cost of extraction, and if it were, a new series of public approval procedures would have to be followed before work could begin. A large number of south Aldergrove residents turned up at the Aldergrove open house, Feb. 22, to voice their Please see page 2 NEV RI SLAT IVE L.H-KA-* arliai-ient Buildings, Vi ; ij 1 j !::>i. oi-y-** THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1000 Golf course decisions postponed Residents fear Plane crash developments seen kiiispiiot thrust their way From front opposition, and to complain of inadequate notice of the open house, and drilling plans. Sandra Hulbert and Al Vickers told The Star that the 30 or sp opponents had seen the notice advertised in The Star, but failed to receive mailed notice from the companies that they would have expected as nearby neighbors. However, Hulbert showed The Star an anonymous circular which residents received earlier that day, which showed the locations of proposed exploratory wells and told residents to come to the meeting to express their views. Gary Reith, spokesman for Connor, a private public relations company, told The Star that notices were prepared for residents in a one-mile radius of each well site, and he cursed the post office for failing to properly deliver them in some areas. Residents expressed such concerns as contamination of groundwater, the negative impact of this industry on rural lifestyles and property values, and their own lack of control oyer the surface rights which the companies will have Jo negotiate with some landowners. A company spokesman said that groundwater should not be affected, as outer steel and concrete pipes will first have to be sunk to far below the depth of any local aquifier, which should stop any contamination when the drill; is inserted for gas exploration. Local water wells are also monitored before, during and after the gas drilling to > ensure safety. In the event something is awry, the companies are legally liable, and are responsible for repairs, he said. Once the companies receive "special well" designation from the EMPR ministry, drilling, safety, emergency and environmental plans will have to be approved by the ministry, which will monitor the companies' compliance with plans. The companies feel that the area will soon be too built-up for exploration work, but they say the impact will have less affect on neighbors than may be feared. New noise control methods will keep it under the maximum allowed 60 decibels at TOO feet distance, and each site would take no more than two months to drill. Only one well is allowed in each section (square, mile) of land, if it fails to yield natural gas, it will be plugged with a concrete mixture, and the surrounding land will be restored to its previous state, as agreed with the landowner. If it is a successful well, it is capped with a modern,«afety- equipped apparatus (about six ieet. bx w fort My. two f<wM size), which is sheltered and fenced-off, and the surrounding land is returned to its original state. Only about a half-acre is required by drilling crews, in either case. Danger is minimal to the area at any time, and companies' spokesmen said possible long-term benefits are a source of one of the cleanest, most efficient forms of energy known to man. Local availability of natural gas would be an asset to residents, and could attract more light industry to the valley as well, since energy sources are a consideration of these businesses. This would expand the tax-base and provide jobs, both needed by the growing local population. One man expressed the opinion that his biggest difficulty was with the-laws regarding surface rights, which effectively enable the government to force an agreement between a drilling company and a reluctant landowner. The group's concerns were voiced by another man who recalled bitter fights between residents and various levels of government over proposals for international motor raceways, regional garbage dumps, gravel pits and the garbage transfer station, » among others. "Every time we turn around, somebody's trying to foist something on us," said the disgruntled resident. It appears that surface rights may have already been negotiated with landowners in each of the three sites. In any case, an EMPR spokesman suggested that there was no perfect approach to resolving surface rights disputes. The system has been handed down over the generations from an old British precedent and is fairly uniform around the world. If a company and a landowner are unable to reach agreement on surface rights, the government will appoint mediators who will arbitrate an agreement within the governing laws. The EMPR spokesman said it was as fair as possible, and superior to the laws of many other jurisdictions. He said the limit of one well per section, for example, was far superior to that of some American states, which allow the environmental blight of as many wells dotting the landscape as oil companies wish to build. An EMPR spokesman said the current application is only for the three exploratory wells and should these turn out to be dry, new applications will be required if other locations are sought. He also told The Star that an underground natural gas storage reservoir which B.C. Gas has proposed for the Fraser Valley is several years away from investigatory work, and would require its own unique application to the EMPR ministry. LANGLEY - Fog is considered a contributing factor in the fatal crash of a float plane at about 12:40 p.m., Feb. 24. Langley RCMP and the Canadian Aviation Safety Board are investigating the accident, which occurred in the Fraser River near Brae Island and Fort Langley. Two of the three occupants were immediately rescued by a log salvage boat crew. Plane passengers Blair William Duncan and David Francis Duncan, both of Mission, were treated for minor injuries. Pilot Clinton Donald Lobb, 36, was freed by RCMP divers, and rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital in critical condition, later pronounced dead. MURRAYVILLE - Councilors were not prepared to take a "quantum leap" this week, so instead they decided to hold off on a decision on whether or not to allow one, two, or more new golf courses in the north Aldergrove area* Two recent applications for 18-hole golf courses were referred to a "rural planning workshop" of council which is to commence sitting on March 5. If councilors were to approve these two applications, they, would have to have "very sound reasons to say no to others," Aid. Aubrey Searle said. He added that at least three more applicants were waiting in the wings. The two applications present: ly being considered are both located in the north County Line area between 256 and 264 streets. Building license fees go up MURRAYVILLE - "I don't think we should add to inflation," says Aid. Aubrey Searle while speaking against an increase in the township's building permit fees. It all adds to the cost of a house, says Searle, and makes it more and more difficult for "Mr. Smith and his little wife" to afford their own home. Councilors, however, vote for the increase. Aid. Muriel Arnason also has compassion for the prospect ive home buyer. She tries to get council to urge the provincial government to remove the one percent property purchase tax, but the other aldermen sit in silence. Building permit fees will be increased by four percent. But the cost will increase at a faster rate since the value of construction (on which the fees are based) has been deemed by the township's building department to have increased by more than 22 percent.

Langley's allocation for operating budget will be the least amount of money per student in the province for 1990-'91. Education minister Tony Brummet had promised that all basic needs would be covered with an average of $5,259 per student, but the ministry's "weighting factor" formula will only give Langley 86.4 percent of this sum, or $4,543.99 per student. Administrators have not yet completed their analysis of the funding formula, but Grinnell said it appears that Langley will be short by about |4.1-million in the next school year. School superintendent Emery Dosdall said he was baffled as to why Langley was projected to have almost 200 more students than Burnaby, yet Langley would receive $9.1- million less than Burnaby. He concurred with Grinnell's statement that Langley has been fiscally responsible, and suggested that the ministry appears to be saying that "districts are rewarded for charging more taxes" in supplementary funding from property owners. "Is that equity?" asked Dosdall. While there is a "paper" increase in Langley's block funding to $85,026,732, this is based on a 9.7 percent increase in students to a 18,711 enrolment. Grinnell said such an increase is way out of line with district projections of about 17,800 and she said this funding amount will be cut by the ministry according to actual enrolment figures recorded this September. "This is not extra money that we can bank on," she asserted. Sixteen of B.C.'s 71 school districts will receive less than the $5,259 per student that Brummet promised, including Abbotsford, Surrey, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam and North Vancouver. Many of these are like Langley, in experiencing fast population growth. The ministry has extended the deadline for Langley's budget submission to March 30, and Grinnell admits they're still in a quandary as to what to plan for. They don't yet know the revenue sharing forumula, to be announced in the spring budget speech this month, and if Langley were to choose to go to referendum to cover any budget shortfall the government has set an April 1 deadline for such a taxpayer vote. Grinnell said any deficit run up by the district would have to have ministry approval, and this amount would be docked from next year's operating budget. Last year Langley school district supplemented their operating budget by $6-million from property taxpayers, with 40 percent of it raised from last year's taxes and another 60 percent to be taken from this year's taxes. This is no longer allowed without referendum. Grinnell said she hoped the budget speech would carry good news for property taxpayers in the form of some relief, but added that this would not in any way alleviate Langley school underfunding. LANGLEY - Federal finance minister Michael Wilson promised economic salvation for the country, when he spoke to a capacity crowd at Newlands, Tuesday night. He defended the "tough" new budget and the coming GST and claimed that his five years as minister have turned the tide on the $300-billion- plus national debt, as well as brought government management under control. "We've done a better job, and done it faster than the U.S. or Britain -- yes, faster than Margaret Thatcher." ' 'Unavoidable decisions'' were made because of the debt and inflationary problems which in turn, have led to other problems not faced by previous governments. "If we can accept spending control to get over the difficult period" Wilson said the annual operating deficit will be reduced from the present $30-billion to $10-billion in 1994. This will allow the government to devote less cash reserves to borrowing and to start buying back treasury bills. "We have had an increasing reliance on foreign lenders and have become under the influence of these markets," more than Wilson would prefer.' Presently about 35 cents of each dollar is used to pay interest on this debt, compared to about 12 cents 20 years ago. The compounding factor means that 80 percent of these payments are just interest upon interest, and $120- billion of debt is compound Please see page 12 I SPRING HAS SPRUNG, THE GRASS HAS "RIZ" COME TO GOSLING'S WHERE THE ACTION IS!

Locally Owned and Op»rot»d THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1990 "Canadian" ■ a new cure for illiteracy TORONTO - Salvation is at hand for the struggling illiterates of the world, baffled by grammar and befogged by spelling. They can learn "Canadian." Toronto schoolteacher Ted. W. Culp argues that English just isn't good enough. Its grammar is too illogical and its spelling maddeningly bizarre. .' So he's invented a new improved version, which may look rigid and peculiar, he admits, but has the benefits: of simplicity and consistency; "Canadian," a language so far known and loved by only a few enthusiasts in Toronto, will sweep the world, making it child's play to learn to read and write, Culp says. He is determined to succeed where George Bernard Shaw and Lazarus Zamenhof, inventor of the international language Esperanto, both failed. . "We must tu muve kwikli tu adopt the nu langwage, and not tu prolong the linggwistic agoni," he writes in the newsletter of The Inter- nasional Union for the Canadian Langwaje. The most important step is spelling, according to Culp. Out goes the illogical letter Oj you write kwik (quick) and kwiet (quiet). All silent letters are also out; if you don't say them don't spell them. That leaves you with logical vowel sounds and completely phonetic spelling. Then there's the grammar. Out go all differences in verb conjugations. Combine the future tense and the very of necessity and it looks like this: "Thay wil must tu go." Very strange at first, but very easy once you get the hang of it," Culp says. "Everybody recognizes there is a problem," the tall bespectacled academic said. "I know; the way. I consider myself to be a prophet. "English is the world international language but it won't hold its position in the cybernetic age. French and German; didn't hold their position. I am suggesting 'Canadian' will replace English." But what about the joys of Shakespeare and the wealth of other literature lost to those who abandon English? The sacrifice is worth it, Culp says. Lost literature is a small price to pay for the new language, which will solve the problems of slow learners and help scientists whose language skills are poor because languages are so irrational, he says. Culp, last seen carrying a teach-yourself-Bengali textbook in his large and crowded briefcase, has learned from the language mistakes of reformers who went before him. Shaw, the Irish dramatist and critic, failed because he wanted to introduce a completely new alphabet, which was too large a leap for the common man. Esperanto, the simple language invented by Polish oculist Lazarus Zamenhof, blossomed at first but has wilted because no one uses it in everyday life. "Canadian" has no such problems, Culp says. It uses the English alphabet and "Canadians speak 'Canad- ian. Culp's endeavors are not just for the benefit of English speakers, however. He has also invented a simple form of French - Torontoic French, or Le Fransais-Torontois. Lovers of the logical can subscribe to his newspaper, "The Times Ov Toronto." As he puts it: Eradicate illiterasi; use the Canadian langwage at all times." A deafening silence By Tiny O'Shaughnessy One thing you can always be certain of in a political leadership race is that, by the end of the campaign, you will know more about any of the candidates than you could ever possibly want to know. And as the 1990 federal Liberal leadership race gains momentum and more candidates declare themselves, the issues are already starting to emerge. lb date, four MPs,.one former MP and one former Quebec cabinet minister have joined the race to succeed retiring Liberal Leader John Turner. They include (in alphabetical order): former cabinet minister Jean Chretien; Hamilton MP Sheila Copps; former Quebec cabinet minister Clifford Lincoln; rookie Montreal MP Paul Martin Jr.; and Toronto MPs John Nunziata and Tom Wappel. Several other Liberals are also expected to announce their candidacy in the near future. Not long ago, the public got its first chance to see and hear these six would-be party leaders when the first in a series of six debates opened in Toronto. (These debates are primarily an opportunity for the candidates ta publicly, spar over such issues as Meech Lake, free trade, excessive campaign spending etc.). And spar they did. Conspicuous by its absence, however, was one of the most important issues facing Canadians: the controversial Goods and Services Tax. The GST, targeted for Jan. 1,1991, will place a 7 per cent tax on most goods and services in combination with nine varying provincial retail sales tax rates. This two-tier tax will create huge amounts of extra paperwork for small retailers as well as confusion at the counter where consumers will no doubt be baffled at, for example, one purchase that will be taxed only federally, another purchase that will be taxed only provin- cially, yet another that will be taxed both federally and provinciaUy, and still another that won't be taxed at all. And this doesn't even begin to address the simple fact that Canadians will be using more of their ever- shrinking income to pay more taxes. According to John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the Liberal leadership hopefuls have a responsibility to deal with the controversial GST. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR School conference "positive" Great Editor, The Star; Sir, Congratulations to Aldergrove High School administration staff, parents and students, involved in the very informative conference "Home and School: Working Together for Student Success" on Feb. 17. The day was filled with presentations by twelve highly qualified speakers. There were two keynote speakers - Dr. .David Freeman and Dr. Bob Armstrong, and a selection of ten other dynamic presentations of which each parent could select two. All the topics were so interesting it was difficult to decide! I attended 'Practical Tips for Parents of Teenagers' conducted by Gene MacDonald - an excellent presentation, and LETTERS WELCOME The Aldergrove Star invites letters 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. 'Sibling Rivalry' presented by Peter Smilanich, whose very interesting session was partially described in The Aldergrove Star on P. 18, Feb. 22 issue, but credit was mistakenly given to Dr. Bob Armstrong who in fact was the closing speaker of the day. Nearly 300 parents came out on a cold, windy day to get some information to help deal with the challenges of parenting. I sincerely hope that this is the beginning of more of these presentations in the growing Aldergrove area. I'm grateful to the businesses and organizations who helped make this financially possible. Once again Aldergrove High SchopJ contributes to the community in a positive way. PAT STOCKBROCKS Aldergrove service Editor, The Star, Sir, Three, cheers to the management, sales staff and service department at Wolfe's Langley Nissan! My daughter and I recently each bought a used car from Wolfe's. From the time I made the initial phone call to find out what was available until we picked up our vehicles, all cleaned and serviced to our satisfaction, this great group of people couldn't do enough for us. We were treated no differently than if we had purchased two of the newest, most- expensive cars on the lot. They care about their customers! wendy mazerall kathy Mcdonald Aldergrove United Way hits magic numbers Editor, The Star, Sir, When United Way of the, Lower Mainland closed its 1989 campaign on Nov. 29, I was able to announce that we had raised $14.5-million on a goal of $14-milIion, provided anticipated donations were made. I am pleased to tell you that, through the outstanding generosity of Lower Mainland donors, United Way now has $14.5-million in verified pledges and donations which is the best response we have ever enjoyed, and a real tribute to everyone who worked so hard to make our community a beter place for all. Five thousand volunteers were involved at all levels of the campaign, and 100,000 donors gave to sustain; vital comm unity services which help one in three people living here. Thwugh your newspaper, I would; like to thank each volunteer and each donor for the thoughtful concern they expressed through the United Way campaign. And my grateful thanks to you, too, for "carrying the message" about United Way to your readers. The 1989 campaign raised 12% more than the record year of 1988, when $12.9-million was our total. That 12% puts United Way of the Lower Mainland at the top of all United Ways in Canada in terms of percentage increase over the previous campaign... we're Number One! ....... LARRY BELL Genefal Campagin Chairman LETTERS JO THE EDITOR THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1990 Don't take criticism so personally, suggests parent Editor, The Star, Sir, In response to the letter by John Davies, I feel I must write and say that I, too, have removed my children from the public high school here for many of the same reasons (and a few others) which were given by S. Olsson. The charges by Mr. Davies that because a person has done this they must have had a "pampered shallow youth" are ludicrous. I, for one, grew up in a tough public school in Vancouver. We had well over 2,000 students registered and over 350 in my graduating class alone. Smoking was a big thing then, but rules stated that students were not to do this on or within a one block perimeter of the school. This rale was enforced by the teachers and the residents of the surrounding community and was fully supported by the parents of most of the students. Sure, the students went elsewhere to smoke and some of them didn't return to school, but then they suffered the consequences of their actions in low grades or extra work to catch up or whatever. In this day and age when smoking has been proven to be addictive and a killer, and when public buildings from Surrey to Vancouver are closed to smokers for health reasons, I feel that the smoke hole at AHS is a community disgrace. We claim to be concerned with our children's health and then we encourage smoking within a ' 'designated area". Isn't this just a little hypocritical? With regards to PDA, no one is suggesting, Mr. Davies, that "holding hands...or a short kiss upon parting" is sinful. I did not understand that from Olsson's letter. However, such displays do tend to lead to other heavier types of petting in private. If it can be kept at the hand- holding level that is one thing, but when sex is cheapened to the point where our kids are embarassing each other by pulling down the pants of the opposite sex in the hallways of the school, whether "in fun" or just to be mean, I am sickened. As to the perinatal progrm. I think it is commendable that the young ladies in question are taking the responsibility of parenthood seriously and that the school is able to provide daycare for their children so that they can finish their schooling. I am, however, concerned that the attitudes of their peers tend to be such that when a girl finds out she is pregnant, she is congratulated by her peers as if she had done something to be proud of. If this is the way things are perceived by the teens at AHS (and I have enough sources, Mr. Davies, who say they are) I have to question whether "the presence of these ladies has probably inspired other young girls to think twice about indulging, as possible consequences are readily visible. You are very vitriolic, Mr. Davies, in attacking S. Olsson's reputation. Do you know him? If not, the insinuations about being shortchanged at the supermarket or cheating on a test are blatantly unfair. And whether he did or not still does not make it right. Nor should it be used as an excuse to condone vandalism, cheating, and stealing in our schools. I personally find the level of vandalism at AHS extremely shocking. Respect for school property is not as evident at AHS as it is in other public and private schools in our area. Nor is the school perceived by parents or students of other schools in the area (and not, Mr. Davies, just the school my children attend - I have heard this from other parents) to be academically on a par with other local schools. Aldergrove High is seen as primarily a school geared Wake up, Aldergrove! Editor, The Star, Sir, A brief rebuttal to the letters of response to "Time to Speak Out". (Feb. 15). First, Mr. Kenwood, sometimes it takes a "diatribe" to wake people up! You cannot "assume" that because "a group of fine young men and women" attend A.S.S., that the school itself is beyond constructive criticism, just as you cannot chauvenistically "assume" that S. Olsson is of the male species. Nor can you "assume" that the said Olsson is ignorant and apathetic. Such is not the case. As for the administration of ASS, can you honestly state that they are "caring", when they condone a deadly and socially unacceptable, habit? Society has recently made it very hard to find a place to smoke. Airlines, workplaces, public buildings (post offices, banks, public services) are largely non-smoking, and restaurant smoking areas are getting smaller and smaller. But not good old ASS • they facilitate the habit! A student trying to quit smoking would find it very difficult, as the "hole" is a situational "trigger". As for John Davies letter, I feel foolish even replying to someone whose grad year book blurb read "can often be heard saying HONK, or It's all fun and games until someone loses and eye" and "He plans to HONK his way around the world..." However, as he did raise several questions and made many sarcastic false statements, a reply is in order. Yes, Davies, I did attend a superior institute, but no, my youth was neither shallow nor pampered. I worked permanent part-time all through high school," and' worked "my' way" through university, from which I graduated Hons. English & Psychology (and respect and honesty). Also, you can hardly call one naive and sheltered who has travelled extensively throughout Canada, U.S., Europe, and has lived in Mexico, India and Algeria. Davis, perhaps you are the one with "tunnel vision", as you cannot see beyond Aldergrove. My "hang-up" with ASS is that I would like to see it become a "superior institute" in every way! There are too many negative comments being heard about the school. Talk to students from other schools - in many school subjects they are performing at a higher level than ASS. Shame on you, John Davies! You presume too much. The fact is, I have never stolen $20 from the supermarket, nor have I ever cheated on a test. The fact is, such things are wrong, and yes, "sinful". A person with character would not resort to fraud. If you are a typical ASS grad, then the school seems to be producing not people with character, but just plain "characters", like yourself. Regarding 'the level of achievement and favoritism, I was referring to scholastic achievement and awards. Not all students are given the incentive to learn at home - the teachers have some responsiblity by making subjects interesting and challenging. Sorry to disappoint you here, Davies, but I ask my child every day what happened at school that day. I also know every subject she is studying, have browsed through all her textbooks and her written work, and have occasionally nelped Her study. So there! Finally, as to your last question, yes, on several occasions "I addressed the problem with the administration". However, I was either told that the problem did not exist, or, in the case of the "hole" that it is not a problem. Now, how can one volunteer to help with what the administration sees as a "nonexistent problem"? Finally, I came to the conclusion that the administration did not wish to be made aware of any problems and were content to let Aldergrove "get the short end of the stick" in education, just as it does in so many other areas. No, it was not easier to remove my child. Quite the opposite, when you consider car pools and the cost of private schooling, etcetera. I appreciate your concern regarding my child's ability to cope with life, Davies, and you'll be happy to know she is coping extremely well, considering the fact that I have been in and out of hospital for several weeks at a time during the past three or four years. In your last paragraph, John Davies, you are literally begging for a compliment on your writing skills. Not bad, considering the source! However, you definitely have an attitude problem and seem to have difficulty with "reading with understanding". It is also unfortunate that your writing shows sarcasm, rudeness, disrespect, and presuppositions, or you'd make a fine writer. But you are probably too busy "HONKING your way around the world". Happy honking! S. OLSSON Aldergrove toward those who are not going on academically. Achievements by the students in the local sports scene, music festivals, and so on are great and I watch for these notices in the paper so that I can applaud and support those students I know. I was also glad to read in Brodie's column about the happy Valentine's Day at AHS! A pat on the back for all teachers involved! But I do have to wonder about the reasons why Aldergrove students are not seen as academically equal to others. Could it be that students transferring from AHS to other schools find that they cannot keep up or have to catch up in some way? Perhaps their marks do not reflect their level of achievement? Whatever the reason, I know that the students of AHS deserve the same high standards of education enjoyed by other students in B.C. and if this is not being given to them, for whatever reason, it should be rectified. I, for one, would love to feel that I could send my children to AHS. I could use the money I spend on tuition fees and transporation costs to take a nice vacation or fix up my house or buy nice clothes for my family; Even better, I would not have to work outside the home to pay these fees. Instead, I choose to invest my time and money to ensure that my children are encouraged to work hard and have high standards both academically and morally. I want the school my children attend in their high school years (they have all attended public elementary school in Aldergrove up to grade 8) to expect the best from my children - not that "they are going to do it anyway, so we may as well provide a place for them to do it." I want them to be called to account for their actions and be rewarded appropriately. I want the standards of our home to be upheld by the teachers and administrators of the school they attend and I am willing to pay for this. No, Mr. Davies, my children are not pampered or sheltered and they have been faced with many of life's problems already, perhaps more than most people. But I am determined to do my best to give them all the help they need so that they can accomplish what they want to do for their future. And if this entails not sending them to AHS, so be it. J.

The weather conditions limited the Vedder's production up until a week or so ago. But now the weather and water are finally cooperating and so are the fish! Many anglers have enjoyed four to five days of landing fish — then releasing them of course — during the last week and encountered vastly reduced fishing pressure. Last year at this time, wilds were outnumbering hatchery fish at least 10 to one. Just ask Ken McEnroy, who beached over 60 fish in the season, with only three hatchery fish in the lot. Jim Chong of Abbotsford (top photo) with a 15-pound wild doe steelhead This year, there seems to be a and Hank Kjrchner a|S0 0f Abbotsford with a 9-pound 12 ounce hatchery lot more large hatchery fish. doe Notable successes from last week were Ron Harris from Mission with a 15-pound eight-ounce beauty of a steelhead, Don Bell from Mission with several fish between 15 and 20 pounds and young Craig Knapp of Aldergrove with a 17 lb. 4 oz. last Saturday. Even Pete Zomar is catching fish this year! Nice going, Pete. One of the reasons for these anglers' successes is that they are trying new water all the time. Many of the old producing holes have changed, and are not the ace-in**the-hole locations they used to be. So, don't be afraid to try a new stretch of water, even if it doesn't look as promising as some of the old stretches. Small wool combinations of peach and green, pink and white, and orange and red have proven very successful, with pink worms and Colorado spoons (being bottom-bounced rather than float-fished) when the water' muddies up. So heigh-ho for the river. Langley Pace to Bodega Bay CLOVERDALE - They say a man's best virtue is his patience. Just ask driver Bill Davis. Davis' patience paid off as he guided Bodega Bay through a narrow opening in the stretch to capture the $30,200 final of the Langley Pace, Saturday at Cloverdale Raceway. Starting from post position eight, Davis had to settle for second to Jabber On off the start. Davis could have pulled Bodega Bay at the half mile pole but elected to stay on the rail and wait for the opportune time to make his move. It looked like this strategy was going to cost Davis the race as the field was three wide at the three quarter pole and tightly bunched. However Bill's patience was rewarded as the field straightened out for home as a small hole opened up at the sixteenth pole which allowed him to move his horse out and win HUB SPORTS FISHING & HUNTING HEADQUARTERS FOR THE FRASER VALLEY SPORTS a YOUR FISHING SPECIALIST 33719 ESSENDENE AVE.

The last time these two teams met Aldergrove were the victors so Surrey was out for revenge. Aldergrove started the scoring at the 17:16 mark when Erika Pearson took a pass from Josh Letkeman and tucked the ring behind the Surrey netminder. Two minutes later it was Josh's turn when he took a slick pass from Erika and snapped the ring into the net. Next it was Surrey to score two goals to tie up the game. Surrey then went ahead by one until Erika tied the game up when she took a pass from Lindsay Paton and slid the ring into the net. Both teams continued to battle back and forth with great saves made by Aldergrove's Allison Waters before Surrey put their fourth goal past her. Going into the second period down one goal Aldergrove came out storming and in less than a minute had tied the score. The goal going to Evelyn Neufeld assist to Josh. Surrey came back to score two more goals to go ahead by two. Not ones to give up Aldergrove just kept up the attack and at 6:41 Evelyn scored her second goal of the game. At 3:13 Josh raced in on the Surrey net and flipped the ring past the Surrey goalie to tie the game I It was three minutes of nailbiting for the Aldergrove parents as Surrey continued to press but couldn't get the ring past Allison before the final buzzer sounded and the game ended in a six all tie. All the Aldergrove kids played well in this hard fought game. PETITE B ■ Saturday morning also found the Aldergrove West Pro Energy Flames in action against Vancouver at the Aldergrove arena. Both teams battled hard in the opening minutes before Hillary Pink took a pass from Willow Unruh and popped in the first goal at 14:26. Once more the action was back and forth with both netminders making some excellent saves before Vancouver sneaked the ring past Shannon Bettles to even the .score. After that goal the Aldergrove floodgates opened and Hillary, Sheri Harty, Heather Gray and Desiree Dupuis added goals before the end of the first period. Assists on those goals went to Michelle Bettles, Desiree, Amy Russenholt, Hillary and Sheri. In the second period Aldergrove continued on in their scoring ways to toally dominate the Vancouver girls who only manged to get one more goal in the game. Scoring in the second period were Desiree, Hillary, Erin Henthorne, Amy and Shannon Waters who was brought up from the Petite Cs and played a terrific game. The assists in the second period went to Heather, Sheri, Erin, Amy, Willow, Desiree, Hillary and Petra Mach. The Flames are preparing for their Provincial Tournament to in regular season play have a good chance of going the distance. TWEEN B - Saturday morning found the Halls Meats Blades travelling to PoCo to take on the PoCo Blues. This game was a make-up game for a game that was cancelled during the snowy weather. Aldergrove opened the scoring at 15:44 of the first period with an unassisted goal by Suzanne Sullivan. Two and a half minutes later Heidi Letkeman made a neat pass to Rachelle Lauzon who snapped the ring past the PoCo netminder. PoCo fought back and brought the score within one at the 11:16 mark. It was another six minutes before Aldergrove managed to get another goal, this time Suzanne and Debbie Haber teamed up for the goal. Despite a bevy of penalities to Aldergrove the Blades managed to get three more goals all of them short handed. Two to Debbie with assists going to Laurie Cuvilier, Suzanne and Heidi and one goal by Heidi who took advantage of a PoCo defensive mistake to get a breakaway on the PoCo goalie. The second period saw the Blades score two more goals, both by the team of Rachelle and Heidi. Rachelle put in the first goal with the assist to Heidi and eight minutes later it was Heidi's turn to take the pass from Rachelle and bang in the final goal of the game, Final score Aldergrove 8 PoCo Blue 6. Late Sunday morning found the Blades in action once again. This time they were in North Surrey to take on the Surrey-White Rock Rebels. Word had it that the Rebels had been practicing hard and were a much, improved team so the Blades came out prepared to work hard. It didn't take long for Aldergrove to draw first blood when Heidi flipped the ring into the net with just 9 seconds gone off the clock. Twenty three seconds later Suzanne whipped ' in Aldergrove's second goal. The next three goals went to the team of Debbie and Rachelle. At 1:31 of the first period Suzanne scored the Blade's. sixth goal and a minute later Debbie put in the seventh. In the second period Aldergrove's scoring slowed considerably which probably had something to do with the number of penalties taken by both teams. Laurie Cuvilier was credited with Aldergrove's first goal of the second half although it was really a matter of being in the right place at the right time as Surrey actually scored on themselves. Suzanne finished the scoring at 4:07 to make the final score Aldergrove 9 Surrey 2. The defense of Dyan Bettles, Krystel Godard, Jennifer Maksymetz and Robin Gray worked exceptionally hard to keep the Surrey players away from netminder Shanda Kirkpatrick who had to make a few difficult saves to keep the score down. Next week I will be reporting on how the Blades did in the The Aldergrove Hawks play- Cape Horn, Sunday.

Poppy secondary. The Totems faced Frank Hurt Secondary, a team they defeated in the tournament's opening game by more than 36 points. Frank Hurt came back ready to play I Aldergrove kept the pressure on, forcing their opponents to run the court, but were plagued by a series of misses at the hoop. Frank Hurt was quicker to the rebounds and repeatedly moved the ball into the Totems' end. The tension was incredible Time's not thrifty, Ajtr:_ W J_Z--.:-M ft> , < o ' _w_ _ttf__m a c * l 3 ■^& 3 tf mmm ww "" ,-^-a^sA " mmmml^£^_*ZJ**mmmmmmmf as the lead alternated from team to team throughout the game. The Totems were able to recapture and sustain the lead in the fourth quarter, edging out Hurt 70-66. Totem coach, George Bergen had only good things to say, even though a third place was not quite good enough to secure a trip to the provincials in March. "I told them it was going to be tough playing Frank Hurt again. They (Hurt) played a great game, anyone could have won", said Bergen. Reflecting on the season, Bergen said "It was great I The guys really wanted to play. They worked hard. I enjoyed all 42 games." The Totems won 32 of those games. Duncan Campbell turned out to be the team's dark horse. Campbell, a junior, came to the team with less experience than his teammates. He played half the season in the starting line-up and will return with next year's squad. Aldergrove Totem's Corey Mutter and Matt Stockbrocks were named to first and second tournament all star teams, respectively. 9 Aldergrove Lady Totems played a good game but couldn't contain the Garibaldi Rebels during last weekend's game. A sad end to a great team? ALDERGROVE - Bad luck and bad timing contributed to the Lady Totems downfall against the Garibaldi Rebels, Saturday. The Totems were again utilizing their trademark running game, but trailed by four points at the half, mostly due to the significantly taller Rebels and some nail biting near misses at the hoop. The Totems continued to force the Rebels to succumb to the running game, but kept getting beat around the hoop. Totem coach Neil Brown told The Star the team was off their game. "We had a hard time scoring points," said Brown, "maybe the pressure got to them. Win or lose, Saturday's game was probably the last for Aldergrove's lady team. Graduating players, combined with others leaving, the game to pursue other sports has left Neil Brown without a roster for next year. The program could be dropped. A sad end for a team who became number two in the province.

ALDERGROVE - Seniors and students can enrich each others lives if they are given the opportunity to be together. On Feb. 19 at Jack- man Manor in Aldergrove, the 23rd Langley School District "Partners in Education" agreement was signed between three Aldergrove elementary schools and Jackman Manor, a community senior citizen's facility. The partnership will offer many opportunities for the students and seniors to contribute to each other. Ken ,Pruden, Manager of Jackman Manor, hosted the school district's partnership signing. The Manor's director of resident care, Pat Torrejon' and Mina Pearson, activity director, welcomed Derek Robinson, principal of Aldergrove Elementary, Walt Krahn, principal of Parkside Elementary, Lanny Gregory, vice-principal of Shortreed Elemenary, school trustee Gordon Greenwood, superintendent of schools, Emery Dosdall and Wendy MacKinlay, career education coordinator. "I'm delighted to see these partnerships grow between our students and the seniors," said Greenwood. "This partnership will encourage more understanding between the generations and will help our students learn to become more responsible citizens in our community." All partners believe more interaction between seniors and the younger students will benefit both groups. Student visits to the Manor will include entertaining, visiting, opportunities to offer assistance in arts and crafts activities and assisting the residents with their gardening boxes. "Interaction with young people helps to maintain a regular lifestyle for our confined seniors who may not have an opportunity for contact with others in the community," said Pruden. "We feel this partnership helps to improve the quality of life for our seniors." Staff representatives from each school will work with Jackman Manor to schedule projects and visits throughout the year. "We hope to channel our students' energy into positive community actions such as assisting with seasonal decorations, regular poetry and music sessions and even general clean-up activities," said Robinson. Students in the Aldergrove schools have already participated in some activities with the seniors at Jackman Manor. "Some Shortreed classes have made regular visits to share poetry, artwork and music with Jackman Manor residents in the past year," said Gregory. "The seniors really appreciate the visits and the students feel good about themselves." The time spent with the residents will provide life experiences for the students who don't live close to their grandparents. "Our students will learn and benefit as they develop bonds of service and caring with the seniors," said Krahn. "The contact will help our students understand the problems faced by the elderly." CUPE negotiations progress LANGLEY Negotiating teams for the Langley School District and CUPE locals 1260 and 1851 resolved two of the three key issues in their contract dispute on Feb. 21. They agreed to a new pension plan and improved severence pay provisions. The remaining key issue is salary. CUPE 1851 has asked for a 16.2 percent wage in crease over one year while CUPE 1260 has aksed for 19.8%. CUPE locals represent the district's clerical staff, bus drivers, teaching assistants, maintenance workers, custodians, and noon and crosswalk supervisors. "We're pleased with the progress made so far," said school board chairman Marlene Grinnell.

The role of Donal Davoren, the poet and philospher (some say an auto-biographical portrait of O'Casey himself) is played by Fred Reber, a student of Abbey Senior High School. The mantle of the heroine of the piece, Minnie Powell, has fallen on the able shoulders of Wendy Martin, a graduate of Studio 58, a professional theatre training school at Langara College. Wendy has acted at Gateway Theatre, Theatre Under The Stars and was a part of the production team for last year's Peter Pan at the Q.E. Wilde Geese Theatre has been fortunate in obtaining the services of veteran local actor, Alan Clift, who will play the part of the excitable Seamus (Shamus) Shields opposite Reber's Davoren. Kathleen Varady, a seasoned actress from across the bridge in Mission heads the supporting cast with Pauline Light- heart, Glen Gordon and Paul Abbott all of whom have considerable experience in local theatre ventures over the years. With the combined experience of the above plus the efforts of talented newcomers, Fiann Marsden, Cynthia Quinn-Young and Olivia Light- heart the promise is for an exciting Easter Weekend of April 12-14. The Shadow Of A Gunman is a touching love 6tory set in the middle of the troubled times of Dublin in the 1920s. Sean O'Casey makes an eloquent plea for reason and dialogue in the midst of the killing and violence, while spicing his play with the brilliant touches of humour and pathos so typical of his contemporaries of this era, Shaw, Joyce and Oscar Wilde to name just a few. J.F. Mongey, the founder and artistic director of Wilde Geese Theatre will direct. Rehearsals continue at the Abbey Arts Addition Mezzanine on Monday and Thursday at 7 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. Those interested in getting involved in the production should call Mongey at 854-1559. 'A Man for all Seasons' Sin»ers* m is Trinity's delight i2™»1 S m m coupon! ■ LANGLEY - This season it's A Man for All Seasons in Trinity Western University's Freedom Hall, as TWU's drama department offers an evening of theatre March 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 at 8 p.m. Drama director Tim Heins says the well-known play by Robert Bolt takes place during the time of King Henry VIII, and is based on the religious politics that led the king to break ties with Roman Catholicism and found the Church of England. "The play focuses on the personal struggle of the king's chancellor, Sir Thomas More, an idealist deeply committed to a morality that was shaped by his own religious convictions, yet equally loyal to England," Heins explains. But the circumstances of More's time in office created a situation that made it impossible to be steadfast to both, and More's agony was to remain true to himself despite the suffering it caused family and friends. Heins says it was the grammarian Robert Whittington who characterized More as a gentle, humble and learned 'man for all seasons'. Bolt's thoughtful playwriting emphasises the influence of More's moral integrity on the world leaders of his time: men such as Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Erasmus and King Henry himself. The cast of 14 in A Man for All Seasons stars seasoned TWU actors Craig Erickson as Thomas More and Ken Jacob- sen as Henry VIII. Tickets are available at the TWU Bookstore and at the door of Freedom Hall for $6. Listen to KLYN for how to win a family ticket give-away.

"The learning of any additional language and the culture that surrounds it is an enriching educational experience. Most citizens of the world are fluent in more than one language. The two official languages are part of Canada's unique identity, and have appropriate places in our public education system," Novakowski said. Novakowski pointed out that French immersion programs are very popular in many school districts, with some parents facing waiting lists when they try to enrol their children. Qualified French immersion teachers are being recruited by B.C. school districts from across the country. "Parents are happy with the programs, and research indicates that French immersion students perform well in English. I think there is a degree of anti-French sentiment, created in part by the controversy over Meech Lake or Quebec sign laws. Neither of these issues is a good reason to make irrational educational decisions in British Columbia," he said. The BCTF has policy supporting the right of parents to have their children educated in either official language where there are sufficient numbers to make it feasible, and where qualified teachers are available. Wilson says more cuts From page 3 interest since 1984. "This will mean continuing program cuts and changes, and tax increases," but promised that a "key milestone" will be turned next year when the debt will stop growing faster than the economy. He recognized that the public is "frustrated" with high interest rates but said experience showed in 1981-'82 that if the government "eases up too soon it leads to greater inflation and interest rates. Let inflation get out of control and you have despair." The government will continue to try to improve the competitive position of the economy, through deregula tion, privatization, tax reform, changing job strategies, free trade ... and the GST. "The GST will result in a more effective economy...and the cost of capital will be reduced by four percent. This is positive for mining and forestry in B.C., which are very capital intensive." He said it will help deal with the deficit and will eliminate about $2-billion presently -withheld in legal tax avoidance by the public. Low- income taxpayers will benefit from the GST tax credit they will receive, and it will improve economic growth by three-quarters of a percent annually.

Consultation extended on marketing boards' roles VICTORIA - The time allotment for consultation with the agri-food industry on the future role of marketing boards has been extended by three months to May 31, announced Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries John Savage. "We want to ensure that everyone who will be affected by the Natural Products Marketing (BC Act has an opportunity to participate in its development," said Savage. "Marketing boards have played and will continue to play a vital role in the development of our agricultural industry. Changes in our trading patterns, the global marketplace and free trade are placing new demands on the marketing board system. We, must respond to these new demands if we are to remain competitive in the new economic environment," he continued. "The government solidly supports and recognizes the important role natural products marketing legislation plays in the success of the agricultural industry," stated the minister. "We are confident that the policy framework we are proposing will enhance the effectiveness of the marketing system and stimulate growth in the agri- food sector." The discussion document was released in November, 1989, and ministry staff have been meeting with producer groups and marketing boards, processors and retailers since that time. It has now become obvious that not all groups will have the opportunity to be heard within the original time frame. Therefore the consultation process has been extended three months. A summary of the responses will be discussed with industry leaders prior to July 1, 1990. Individual boards will then have a year to respond with a plan and timetable on how they will implement the Natural Products Marketing Policy. *' "- • •'•' SCHOOL LIFE By LARA BRODIE By LARA BRODIE Life can be a puzzle, once in awhile you may lose a few pieces, other times, the pieces just seem to fmd the right place. Funny how life can be that way. Life can also be misconstrued, and misinterpreted. It could kind of be related to a policeman; he may find some of the clues, but, perhaps he doesn't hunt for the rest. In a case like that, false charges could be made. Too many times, people have this natural human error to decide what they want, and to see only one small level of another's personality. In a case like that, individuals can be misjudged and cast aside to wonder what happened. However, in this lifetime, it would be far too great of a task to try to stop people from doing this and sometimes it can simply be much too enraging to worry about it. One has but one single life on this earth - only a few years to fight for your destiny; only a few moments, which must be lived like a challenge in our glorious free country, and not lived in fret of how others will label you for your opinions. If you have ever been misinterpreted, perhaps then you will understand, perhaps also, the following poem, which I wrote just about a year ago for my own benefit, could help you too, whether | you believe or not... "JUST BECAUSE" .. I feel the strength, Inside of me grow, I feel the needle, Begin to sew, And heal the gashes, So bloody and fierce, Cause with their actions, My heart would pierce, My skin so weak, Their words it would break, - It poured with blood, And made a sad lake, I swam so much, That I tired out, I had no voice left, to scream and to shout, "I'm here too, you know, I do exist!" but they walked on by. And I was missed, But God was there, And saw I was alone, He gave me a hand, And took me home. I feel the strength, Inside of me grow, Wisdom and honesty, Are the seeds I will sow. If they wish to be mean, And unknowingly cruel, I'll turn it around, It will become my tool. I shall become stronger, And accept who I am, 'cause I'll remember the days, When alone, I swam. God took me in, And said he loved me as I was, His reason for this was... "Just because."

That frightening and little known fact is because most paper used for printing in the past 150 years contains acidic ingredients that act as a built-in self-destruct mechanism. Freelance broadcaster Bill Richardson traces this evidence of erosion in "As the Book Crumbles" Thursday March 1 at 9:05 p.m. on Ideas on CBC Radio. "This is a really serious problem," said Richardson.

It was while I was working at the Vancouver Public Library that I came across evidence of this epidemic." "As the Book Crumbles" traces the evolution of book- making from clay tablets in the 8th century B.C., to the advent of paper, and finally to the additon of the chemicals to the paper which is causing its self-destruction. The consequent crisis facing librarians and archivists is to find ways to keep precious works from crumbling to dust. The program also raises the thorny question that will soon have to be dealt with as a result: who will be allowed access to the supply of preserved information? Bill Richardson is a Vancouver freelance writer and broadcaster, appearing regularly on CBC Radio's Gaber- eau show. "As the Book Crumbles" is produced by Don Mowatt with technical assistance by James Reid at CBC Vancouver.

A poster design by second year FVC graphic design student Hugh Griffith of Abbotsford has been chosen to announce the college's Open House 1990 to be held April 7. Event coordinator Lee Gillespie checks over the final artwork before the poster with Griffith before it goes to the printer. College readies for April open house ABBOTSFORD - In 1974, Fraser Valley College was created by the people of the Fraser Valley to provide a wide range of high quality post-secondary education opportunites right in their own communities. Over the past 15 years the college has grown quickly and extensively to meet these early expectations. Last year more than 15,000 people enroled in more than 50 programs and hundreds of courses or workshops at the college, making it one of the most important and influential institutions in the valley. And more rapid expansion is essential if the college is to meet the growing needs of the communities it serves. This April, Fraser Valley College will celebrate 15 years of quality education, growth, and community support and involvement by inviting the public to attend Open House 1990. On Saturday, April 7 the general public from the entire college region will be invited to visit the college, where a wide variety of events and activities in every department and area will celebrate past achievements, display the range and scope of present programs and courses, and focus on the college's aspirations and options for the future. A full slate of demonstrations, displays and activities highlighting the many, multi- faceted FVC programs will occur througout the day at the Chilliwack and Abbotsford campuses. Every department will be represented through information displays or activities. As well, general information will be available on college programs, educational trends and opportunities, and career planning. Just a few of the special events will include musical and theatrical entertainment, art and fashion shows, a mini-lecture series, a garden clinic, computer demonstrations, a business trade show, Native Indian drummers and dancers, demonstrations of blacksmithing, an antique printing press, lasers, computers, and mariy other special features. A special day for senior high school students will be held Friday, Apr. 6. Invitations have been extended to all public and private secondary schools in the college region to bring grade 11 and 12 students to either the Chilliwack or Abbotsford campuses to view displays, demonstrations and special activities, as well to meet college instructors, counsellors and students to get an inside view of the many opportunities available through the college. As well, a number of community groups that regularly work with the college will be included in the open house activities. A few of these special "community partners" will include Coastal Pacific Aviation, The Harrison Festival of the Arts, the Lifetime Learner's Association, Coqual- eetza Education Centre, Simon Fraser University, community literacy groups, the Agassiz Research Station and others. A poster design for Open House 1990 by FVC graphic design student Hugh Griffith of Abbotsford was selected as the event poster from among 14 concepts submitted by FVC students to the open house planning committee. Griffith's design incorporates the concept of an award of excellence to focus on the theme of the open house vent which is "Celebrating 15 years of quality education at your community college; Growing with you for the future." In announcing the college's decision to invite the college communities to attend, FVC president Peter Jones says "Our whole history has been to work with and for our communities. We invite the people of the Fraser Valley to a birthday party which will celebrate their own community college." By LARA BRODIE Intriguingly simplistic in plot, yet wonderfully effective. It was a movie called Courage Mountain, which contained your basic movie elements, the good guy, the bad guy, the damsel in distress, a war, a chase, a struggle, action, drama, humor, love, conspiracy and, yes of course, success I Whoa! Let me take a breath. Anyhow, it was, indeed, entertaining and it brought to the screen that certain magic movie quality. It wasn't like watching a T.V. show on a big screen, instead it had that electrifying, intense movie aura, if you will, which makes the movies so utterly magnificent in the first place. This particular movie was an enchanting story about Heidi and her struggle to get back home after a desperate war causes mayhem and sheer "distress to erupt in Italy, where she was attending school. It was quite colorful, encased enchanting music and dialogue and the backdrop of the beautiful scenery was a sight by itself. The actors even managed to portray their charactes with wild vitality, which created a dignified sense of realism. This was, if absolutely nothing else at all, an enchanting picture for children, indeed, it was a family show. Mind you, the majority of the audience that I watched it with was made up of young girls, I wonder if Charlie Sheen, the young hero, had anything to do with that...

Scouting offers something for everyone ALDERGROVE - A few members of Aldergrove's second scout group #265, were manning an information table in Aldergrove mall over the weekend. The group was heightening the awareness of local scouting programs, while the rest of the group were camping in Manning Park. The second Aldergrove group currently has 65 members, but more than 1,000 youths are involved in various groups throughout the district. Scouting began in England in 1907. It took just a matter of months to make its way to Canada. Children can become involved in scouting at age Five, by joining a Beaver troup. Scouting provides more than just the occasional outing. As children age they make the transition from Beavers to Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers. It is possible to be involved in scouting until the age of twenty-six. Venturers and Rovers have traditionally been co-ed, however all groups will soon be. The move is intended to enhance the program, but not amalgamate the two programs. Guiding and scouting will remain separate bodies. Scouting is for everyone and that includes those with handicaps. The standard scouting program is amended where necessary to accommodate each individual. Even those confined to their homes can join as "outpost" members.

With that in mind we have decided to open up our bottom four acres to those mad and crazy folk who like to swing golf clubs. We shall be calling our new venture, Greedy Acres Chip and Putt. If you love hazards you're going to be wild about this place. We have a large pond, a creek, (or as my husband calls it, the mighty Salmon River) brambleberry bushes, trees and weeds. To make it interesting there will be no mowing. All this for only $50 green fees. Neighborhood children will be hired at $.20 an hour to shag balls, these in turn, will be sold at $19 a bucket, guaranteeing at least ten balls per bucket. There will be a "Johnny on the spot" at the third tee. Grandchildren will be selling Koolaid at two dollars a glass on hot days and $1.99 on a cold day. Anyone wishing a membership (at $10,000 a year) will be welcomed in to our rec room, complete with bar and pool table. Pool table is free but cues will rent for $20 an hour. Beer at the bar is $6 a bottle but comes with instructions on how to get to the "Johnny" at the third tee. So there you have it. Our plans for an early retirement. We figure that pretty soon there will be more flying golf balls than bad drivers on the road. All we want is our fair share of the economy and getting in on the ground floor of all this golfing controversy is one sure way to do it. Watch the V.S.E. for shares, believe me, they won't be cheap. A friend stopped me the other day in the Mall and said, "You look like a million dollars - all in loose change!" Star readers are invited to mail in their quesions or problems to ASK ANNABELLE.

Fraser Valley College will address this issue in a one day workshop at the Chilliwack campus on Saturday, March 24, "Midlife Daughters and Their Aging Parents." "Even the most well organized midlife daughter can experience difficulty setting limits, struggles with other family members, . guilt and conflict with . competing demands," says workshop facilitator Clarissa Green. Green, herself a midlife daughter, is well known in B.C. for her work with midlife daughters of aging parents and her work with multiple role professional women and stress. Green is an Associate Professor of Nursing at UBC and a family therapist. "Too often the needs of the midlife daughter go unrecognized because there is no forum in which they are addressed," said Green. "The workshop is an opportunity for midlife women to explore their changing relationships with their aging parents and to develop skills that will enhance their ability to cope." Specifically the workshop will help midlife daughters to: explore how the aging of one's parents affects the lives of midlife children; examine issues and concerns experienced by midlife children involved in parentcare; understand how one's past experiences and one's future affect current relationships with parents; develop skills useful for coping creatively with changes in the family; learn about resources available to assist midlife children and their parents. "The workshop is designed for women who are self- defined as midlife daughters," said Green. "It will be Clarissa Green, Associate Professor of Nursing at UBC, family therapist and mid-life daughter will offer a workshop "Mid-life Daughters and Their Aging Parents" at the Fraser Valley College Chilliwack campus on Saturday, Mah:h 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. experiential as well as instructional and will take place in an informal atmosphere." Participants will be encouraged to use their own life situations as they problem solve about improving relationships between midlife children and aging parents. Materials will be provided including workshop notes and information about library and community resources, and the forming of an ongoing support network will be discussed and encouraged. Registrtion for "Midlife Daughters and Their Aging Parents" is being accepted now at all Fraser Valley College Centres. The fee for the day is $39. (includes coffee and handouts). For further information, phone 792-0025 or 853-7441, local 2425 at either number. WCB funds cancer study RICHMOND - A $150,000 grant has been awarded to the Cancer Control Agency of B.C. by the Workers' Compensation Board. The award will fund the third year of a CCABC study of risk factors for both men and women; plus the identification of carcinogens, or cancer causing substance, in B.C.'s main industries. "The grant will help researchers evaluate cancer risks for B.C. workers and the results will provide the groundwork for modifications in the workplace Which may ultimately reduce cancer among workers," said Bill Greer, acting WCB chairman. Dr. Pierre Band, Director of epidemiology at the Cancer Control Aency, says a geographic "map" of disease in B.C. has been completed from a study of death records by region. This will help determine if environmental factors are involved in cancer cases. To follow a study of life time job histories of 15,000 cancer victims in B.C. The two studies combined will give researchers an indication of cancer risks throughout the province. 2forl EYEWEAR! for the month of February ' Single vision lenses * Extras not included ' no other . discounts apply!

'•'-■■ Tuesday night's dinner for the ladies who volunteer their time at the Thrift Shop was delicious, thanks to the Catholic Womens League who catered it. I think it was one of the nicest treats we've had. in the time I've been there. I'm sure all the workers would like me to thank those who organized it. Some people I know were lucky this week, but the Choral Group, pianist wasn't lucky enough to-get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but she did get a pot of . copper on the corners. Twelve tables were filled at the Choral Group whist party. It was a good evening and* one fellow who last month asked to be taught the game took first prize this month. He must have had a good teacher. . There were about sixty dancers out on Wednesday night. Spot dance was won by Al Faustman and Ann, his partner. Other prizes went to Florence Mehden and Leo. Lemoine. Norm Gunder's birthday was celebrated and Bob and Juliet Moore from Pioineer Park were welcomed. About 100 people attended the Saturday night dance!: Spot dance was won by Chris Souther and Gwen Keay and May La Fonde and Zella Jackson. Door prizes went to Irene Perrog and Blanche Luxton. 50-50 was won by Edna Moffat and Al Faustman. Around 1.19 were at" the Jamboree Sunday, Feb. 18". Six bands were there and by all reports it was a good time. Several new faces were there and everyone mixed well. Next jamboree is the third Sunday in March, actually March 18. Don't forget the general meeting of the OAP Friday, Mar. 2 at 1:30 p.m. in the hall. Hope there's a good turn out. It's always encouraging when people come out and take an interest. Keep in mind the Moon Walk, May 25 to June 3. The date set for Moon Walk picnic in Aldergrove Park is May 29. If you are interested intaking part in the Walk, contact Vera Winn. More on this at a later date. The Choral Group sang out twice during the last week. Monday at the Cottage and Friday at Parkholm in Chilliwack. Edie Roberts entertained the group at her home after Cottage. Thanks Edie. Nothing too much at Art classes, still looking for a teacher I believe. Read a good book this week "Stoney Greek Woman", the stbry of the life of Mary John written by Bridget Mpran, The story was enlightening and sometimes shocking, describing the life of an Indian woman taken as a chid from her home on the reserve to a Mission School.

Plan ahead with the municipal staff ^ and developers. Obtain a central and accessible location. Build large enough to accommodate all the students currently in portable classrooms and allow a little room for expansion, so more portables are not needed right away. However, size and situation are not the criteria for greatness. Mountain Secondary was built too small and in an absurd location in the early '70s, yet won acclaim as the first public school in Canada to use the International Baccalaureate program. From the beginning, its students regularly won major university entrance scholarships (f 10,000 and up), athletic championships, and had outstanding bands, even in a district famed for music. ~* Likewise, the fundamental schools were given Langley's oldest buildings when established to counteract the wild educational experiments of the late '60s. They successfully promoted a solid work ethic, school pride, parental involvement, and academic achievement, and other elementary schools benefited from the lessons learned. vp What is the recipe for greatness? Take a dedicated, highly educated staff, deeply interested in students' success with the vision to be innovative, and the courage to discipline firmly. Establish one centre of excellence to inspire students. Promote pride in the school as a community. Push hard for the externa] recognition of major __i scholarships and awards (academic and otherwise.) Once there are successes, raise expectations, and students will outdo their predecessors, building the school's reputation. There may still be problems with drugs and discipline, but they won't be so noticeable. Students will have better self- * esteem, more pride of school, and be too busy. Langley schools have invested money and teachers in Advanced Placement, French Immersion, or other showcase programs around which to help build school pride. The new Walnut Grove Secondary will have the French immersion program that Aldergrove Secondary is dropping due to lack of enrolment. A great school has pride, tradition, and solid accomplishments. Its greatness exits in the beliefs and attitudes of teachers, administrators, parents, and students. It takes the same youngsters as any other school and shows them how to succeed. Its reputation is known in the community and outside. People support it with pleasure, and for good reasons. How do Aldergrove schools measure up? Well, the Langley School Board is constrained by provincial policies, can't buy land ahead of time, and doesn't seem to be kept informed about development. Aldergrove is also rather far from Murrayville. Still, it seems passing strange to decide to build a small (250 student) elementary school near Aldergrove Secondary. This would make three elementary schools on one side of the highway, and three on one side of Jackman Road. What about the northeast quadrant of the town? There are more than 250 students in the fourteen portables at local schools -- isn't this too small before the sod is turned? Oh, and is Aldergrove Secondary a great school? Tell you what. Write down the reasons why you think it is or is not, with at least one positive suggestion. Send it all to the principal and to this newspaper. Supporters will help the school feel good about itself, and no school is so perfect that it cannot use some constructive criticism. While you're at it, write the school board and provincial government about the proposed new elementary school. The last one was called Shortreed; we don't want the next one to be called Shortchanged.

It's so refreshing to be able to get out of the house and into the yard especially after three or four months of being inside. The cherry blossoms should soon be out as will the daffodils, forsythia and crocuses (many of which are already out). If all this beautiful weather we have been receiving is giving you spring fever, you're not alone, I think we all have it. I had better answer some of the many questions I have been receiving over the past couple of weeks. For Liz Pahlke of Aldergrove who wrote that her lawn had disappeared with the snow and could she lime the soil as she puts down new seed? I would assume that for your lawn to sustain that much damage during the recent snowfall that your soil was either poorly drained or maybe in a shady area where the grass was not quite as strong as what it should have been. The other alternative is that your previous grass seed mixture contained large amounts of annual rye grass which dies out each winter. In either case when preparing your seedbed you should make sure to have as much drainage as possible and to provide adequate fibre for soil so the roots are able to breathe. Soils which contain large amounts of fibre tend to drain better, hold more moisture during drier weather and hold more of the fertilizer available in the soil and prevents compaction of the seedbed. Of course no matter what you do to the seedbed, your lawn will be only as good as the seed mixture you use. I prefer a mixture containing fine leafed perennial ryes, chewing fescues mixed with small amount of blue grasses. When it comes to grass seed buy the best varieties you can find that are suited for your area and usage. P.S. I would incorporate your lime into the soil before seeding along with a 10-30-10 slow release fertilizer. For Janice Nelson of Mission who wrote about what to mix with a compost that used large amounts of horse manure. I assume that the horse manure is relatively fresh so it should contain fairly high amounts of nitrogen. When building your compost I would place the horse manure in two to three inch layers divided by layers of sand, soil and organic matter (dead leaves, etc.). When placing this material into the compost the addition of dolomite lime sprinkled lightly over the horse manure would also be beneficial along with liberal sprinklings of bone meal placed between the soil and sand layers. With the addition of dry wood ash to the compost before using you should have a balanced soil mix containing all the necessary ingredients for plant growth. For Jayne Olson who wondered what would be a good starting mixture for seed in an outdoor coldframe which would later be used as a raised garden. Since seedlings require adequate drainage and a fairly fine mix I would look at a mixture of sand, peat and vermiculite which is a normal starter mix for most growers. Once the seedlings are up make sure that you fertilize weekly with a 10-52-10 water soluble fertilizer. After the seedlings have been removed the addition of an organic fertilizer such as steer or mushroom manure along with blood and bone meal should provide you with an excellent medium in which to grow a perfect salad garden. Remembr to watch out for the slugs as they like these types of gardens as much as we do. Note: There is a new slug tape on the market which you may want to try, just place it around the outside of your garden for months of protection. It is also apparently safe to be used around pets. For those of you who were wondering about what varieties of ornamental plants that are beneficial to our many types of birds, squirrels, and the like I hope that I can give you a short but by no means complete list. For most of the birds in our area the seeds and berries of most plants provide great feed for our feathered friends and ornamentals are no exception. Some excellent examples are the cotoneaster family, pyracanth- as, mountain ash, winter- green, hollies, privet, mahon- ias, sumacs and viburnums. Being no expert on squirrels except for the fact that they live in our backyard and are always faster at collecting the filberts off our nut trees than I am, I would assume that they also would make use of the type of plants that produce seed which they can store over the winter. Since most of our ornamental plants are either native to other areas of the globe or are close relatives to some of local native plants it seems that the birds and animals can adapt quite quickly to what nature provides them. We found this out in one of growing fields where we found that the deer wouldn't feed on any of the native cedars but much preferred the ornamental varieties. Maybe that's why they're not native here, who knows. Maybe the best advice I can give for those who Inspectors needed POWELL RIVER - More Workers Compensation Board inspectors are needed to enforce regulations in the cedar salvage industry, a coroner's jury has recommended. The jury made the recommendations following an inquest into the death of 45-year-old logger Rodney Tubbs last summer. The Mission resident died July 27 after he was hit on the head by an 18-kilogram cedar shake block. The block fell when a sling of shakes being lifted by a helicopter broke loose more than 30 metres above three shake cutters. Tubbs was working as radio operator, in contact with the helicopter, for G and R Cedar rid., of Ungley. would like to provide some shelter for our friends in the wild is to plant a variety of shrubs, some of which are sure to be beneficial to some of the birds and animals at least some of the time. This is all the space I have for this week but remember to keep those letter coming and Happy Gardening. MARCH ON DOWN FOR THESE GREAT DEALS! 19860LDSM0BILE T0R0NAD0 Incl.

M—^U.- - 20 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1990 ■* ■ Lions have contributed much to this town By HARRY LAWN ALDERGROVE - Recently a member of our club was asked what he did in the community, his reply was to the effect that he was a member in the Lions. The answer he received was that Aldergrove did not have a Lions Club. I suppose that any one of two reasons could be used, the* Lions do not beat their own drum, or the person concerned has not taken the trouble to acquaint themselves with what goes on in the community. The second I can well believe, I worked in Aldergrove for a number of years, and during that time a number of local residents told me they knew nothing of "Jackman Manor" or "Lions Grove Estates". This whole complex is something the Lions are proud of, and the whole community should share in the pride. If the person spoken of would ask a student of the secondary school they would learn of a bursary made possible by the Lions, also a recipient of one of fifteen hampers donated at Christmas. Also, we have a letter of thanks from "Jack- man Manor" to acknowledge the fact we ran a casino that made possible the purchase increased computer equipment, a wide screen TV, stereo HiFi video recorder, 8 mm video camera, and a further donation of $1,000. for patio furniture. To quote from the minutes of a recent meeting, the following were approved: we sponsor a six bedroom suite at Camp Squamish, we sponsor three campers at Camp Squamish at a cost of |350. each, we donate $1,000. to camp Horizon, another Lions camp. We shall also be donating our usual amount to Variety Club Telethon. You can see from the above that although small in number the club is very large in endeavour. I should also remind you that we also have a Ladies Daffodil Lioness Club who also have many projects going on to help our local community. Having said that, don't forget to come out in large numbers to the ball park during the summer and patronise our food booth to help us raise more funds.

The letters - ranging from the risque to the cloying; the soppy to the pained; the gushing to the grief-stricketn - were transcribed in a display to mark Valentine's Day at the Royal Britain exhibition in London. The 100 documents show that royal birth does not grant immunity from the afflictions of the love-struck nor rule out a little suggestive writing. Thus Henry VIII, whose six wives made him one of the greatest lovers of the royal past, to his then mistress, Anne Boleyn, in 1528: "Mine own, sweetheart, these shall be to advertise you of the great aloneness that I find here since your departing for I ensure you methinketh the time longer since you departing now last than I was wont to do a whole fortnight. "Wishing myself (specially an evening) in my sweetheart's arms, whose pretty dukkys (breasts) I trust shortly to kiss. Written with the hand of him that was, is and shall be yours by his will. H.R." The letters prove that kings are as likely as commoners to be swept away by infatuation. Charles II wrote to his mistress, Louise de Keroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth, in about 1675: "I should do my self wrong if I told you that I love you better than, all the world besides, for-i what were making a comparison where 'tis impossible to express the true passion and kindness I have for my dearest, dearest Fubs." The adventurous Prince Regent (later George IV) wrote to one of his many lovers, Lady Hertford, in 1808: "I really do feel like a young colt going to be turned out to his first grass, as gay as a lark and as light as a feather. I shall be quite content if you are only half as glad to see me as I shall be rejoiced to see you." Yet the monarchial passion could be more reserved and expressed almost in the tones of a royal proclamation. George V wrote to his wife, Mary of Teck, with un- romantic honesty: "When I asked you to marry me, I was very fond of you, but not very much in love with you, but I saw in you the person I was capable of loving most deeply if you only returned that love... "I have tried to understand you and know you, and with the happy result that I know now that I do love you darling girl with all my heart and I am simply devoted to you...I adore you sweet Mary. I can't say more than that." But at times royal lovers might sink into .pure silliness, as in the case with the secret language used by Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, the woman for whose love he abdicated the throne of Britain in 19S6. In 1937, he wrote to her: "My Sweetheart. This is just to say good meesel and that I love you more and more ' before I "take another, drowse},. I enclose an earnum frog for the thirty-first to live in your bag with the fat Vienna frog." Even on their wedding days, however, some Royal lovers were capable of apparent banality. Queen Victoria sent a touching but simple note to Prince Albert on the morning of their marriage in 1840: "Dearest - how are you today, and have you slept well? I have rested very well and feel very comfortable today. What weatherl I believe, however, the rain will cease. Send one word, when you, my most dearly beloved bridgegroom will be ready." Some of the love letters reflect the traumas of politics that were never far away. Mary II wrote to her husband William of Orange, who was campaigning in Ireland, in 1690: "I long to hear again from you how the air or Ireland agrees with you, for I must own I am not without fears for that, loving you so entirely as I do, and shall till death." \ \ \o--l I.I I.I to/ / / Happy 68th Birthday BUD BOYLE SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 34 [ABBOTSFORD] KINDERGARTEN PRE-REGISTRATION MARCH 5 - 9, 1990 Parents with children five years of age on or before October 31, 1990, are encouraged to enroll their child in a Kindergarten program.

And some people will do anything for it. In a world where New Agers rely on crystals and channeling to tap into spiritual power, the Christian is reminded that Jesus used supernatural power to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead. Two thousand years later, the world still desperately needs a Savior who works in power. Charles Kraft believes that many modem Christians have become embarrassed and reluctant to preach a gospel accompanied by supernatural power. Our Western worldview conditions us to fit Cod into a neat, predictable mold. But Dr. Kraft is convinced that the power df the gospel will not be confined to our categories. Step by step, he offers a biblical understanding of signs and wonders and shows how Christians can become God's instruments to heal the sick, to work miracles, and to oppose the counterfeit powers of this age.

VICTORIA - A new process for reviewing the potential impact of major development projects iri B.C. was unveiled Feb. 19 by Regional and Economic Development Minister Stan Hagen and Environment Minister John Reynolds. "The Major Project Review Process will ensure that all major projects are thoroughly assessed for their environmental and social impacts," Hagen said. "This will include pulp and paper mills, mineral smelting and refining plants, chemical plants, and major port and marina developments." There are already comprehensive review processes in place for mine development and energy projects. "This is an important new process for British Columbia," said Reynolds. "Both industry and the environment will benefit, since industry will now have a clear picture of. the regulatory requirements for project approval." Proposals will be referred for analysis and review to provincial, federal and local government agencies that might be affected. "This will be an extensive public review process, providing for public input at all stages," Reynolds said. "No permits or licences will be issued for a project until all CAREERS FAIR BROOKSWOOD SECONDARY MARCH 1, 1990 An event for community members, parents and students of all ages.

"At the same time, from the perspective of industry, it will focus the approval process by giving proponents a single window of contact with the provincial government regarding environmental and other standards," Reynolds said. Hagen noted that there is still some confusion regarding measures to ensure sustainable development because of contemplated federal legislation controlling procedures and setting standards for firms trying to establish businesses in British Columbia. "There is, a pressing need for discussions between the federal and provincial governments to ensure that legislation will meet the needs of both industry and the public and avoid costly duplication," he said. The process will apply to major projects which have not submitted their permit applications as of Feb. 19, 1990..

"My home," you might reply, or: "My business," "my pension and RRSP," "my stock portfolio," or perhaps "revenue proper- Any of those assets might qualify for second place. But they will never overtake number one: your ability to earn ongoing income. Professionals and business owners in particular should appreciate that their potention to generate income can be valued in the millions. (1) You work productively without much ongoing maintenance for perhaps 50 years or more. (2) Your income-producing ability normally increases with time, providing a built-in hedge against inflation. (3) Productivity and income both increase through continuing education, career upgrading or simply learning how to work smarter. For example, if your current income is $4,000 a month and it increases by just five percent a year between age 30 and normal retirement, you will earn - and use to provide shelter, food, clothing and other necessities - more than $4 million! So for most professionals and business owners, the risk of prolonged and severe disability represents the greatest exposure to financial harm. Yet too often financial advisors neglect this all- important risk factor. Many of our new clients report they have been sold many life insurance policies over the years but their former agent(s) never even raised the issue of disability coverage. Unfortunately, partial disability is the wave of the future. Life expectancy is increasing. Thanks to increased medical knowledge, many accidents which used to be fatal are now more likely to produce prolonged disability instead. Even illnesses which used to lead quickly to death now produce a gradual downturn in health. Heart disease, stress, hypertension - all can lead to partial disability. Yet until recently, few disability contracts protected professionals and business owners against partial disability. Whether you are a dentist, doctor, accountant, or the owner-operator of a small business, accident or disease could reduce your capacity to work - and to produce income. And because of inflation, long-term disability could drastically impact on your life. Simply divide the rate of inflation into 72. That will tell you how many years it will take the cost of living to double. For example, at only five percent inflation, in 14 years you will have to double the income you have today to buy the same goods and services. So make sure your disability insurance coverage links payments to inflation as measured by an outside index, such as the Consumer Price Index. Without such a provision, a long-term disability will gradually erode your standard of living. CHUCK WEBB is a local resident and an Associate of the James E.

TWU looks to local needs "Universities should seek to develop in all students a commitment to lifelong learning, as well as provide necessary skills for ongoing education," the report states. "They should also seek to provide appropriate opportunities for such learning." One of those services could be distance education, with off- campus classrooms, but more immediately TWU is considering more night courses and extending evening hours, both for student advisors and the TWU textbook store, in order to accommodate working people. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1990 Quality Mobile Homes LANGLEY - This summer more than 2,000 mentally handicapped athletes and their coaches and supporters from across Canada will gather in B.C.'s Lower Mainland from July 10 to 15 for the 1990 Canadian Special Olympic Games. To ensure the success of this event a funding goal of $800,000 has been established. Langley, and other communities throughout B.C., are being asked to particpate in this cause by becoming a part of the fund raising activities. A special "Langley goes for the Gold" display will be set up in Willowbrook Shopping Centre from March 1 to 24 to allow all of Langley to become part of the Canada Special Summer Olympics. The "Langley goes for the Gold" display measures 16 feet by 8 feet, upon which will be fastened $1 "Loons" donated by the people of the Langley area. A total of over $18,000 is targeted for the project, for donation to the 1990 Canadian Special Summer Olympics and the local Special Olympics group. Seven Langley athletes have been chosen to participate in the Games and will be on hand at the display over the course of the next few weeks to give insight into what the Games are about and to enjoy their celebrity status. The athletes, Andrew Patterson (track), Jane Harris (swimming), Kerry Herperger, Sheldon Granstand, Leslie McGillv- ary, Dennie Doucet and Christine Blanchard (bowling), will be joined by sports celebrities from the BC Lions, Vancouver Canucks, and other professional teams from time to time. Donations in excess of 100 "Loons" will be officially acknowledged at the display in Willowbrook. Those wishing to donate may do so by approaching one of the volunteers at the display in the Willowbrook Shopping Centre northwest court beginning March 1. NEW & USED 12782 -80th Ave., Surrey, B.C.

But ask Clara Gilchrist of Victoria and she'll tell you it's the "Super 6". Gilchrist, an avid harness race goer, was at Sandown Raceway on Sunday, Feb. 25 wagering on the races from Cloverdale Raceway via Inter- Track wagering. She spent $8 on that afternoon's "Super 6" and walked away from the track with a cheque for $20,899.55. She correctly picked the winners of races a three through eight and was the only one with the combination of 6, 1, 3, 7, 3, 2. We had a chance to talk to Gilchrist after her big win and once she had finished shaking explained to us it was a lot of luck as well as her skill as a handicapper. Of the winners she picked one paid a whopping $77.30 to win. Asked why she chose that horse, Gilchrist replied, "He was a horse I had been following for awhile and although his recent form didn't look encouraging I felt he had the ability, especially since he won 13 races last season. Gilchrist is a long time COMICS PRESENTED BY harness race player going back to the days of Patterson Park in Ladner. She has been a regular player at Cloverdale Raceway almost from day one but since hr husband got transferred to Victora, limits her race playing to either betting ,on the races from Cloverdale at Sandown via Inter-Track wagering or she waits for the sulkies to race live during the summer months on the Island. Asked what, she had planned for her windfall she exclaimed "most of it will go into the bank but I will be back at Sandown Wednesday evening for the Inter-Track card from Cloverdale."

Fort Langley- Aldergrove New Democrats' potluck supper, Saturday at the community centre. While party president George Lakusta was disappointed with the attendance, he praised guest speaker Joan Smallwood (NDP, Surrey-Guildford-Whalley) as part of the "best team we've ever had." Smallwood opened with a question. "Are you ready for an election? How's April 19 sound to you?" "I can hardly wait to fight that election, to get on with the job. B.C. is ready for that," she promised. She said that in talking with a "broad section of voters, even traditional Socred supporters are angry at the waste" and the speculation over Premier VanderZalm's political future. She castigated the premier and finance minister Mel Couvelier for pretending indignance over last week's federal cuts to B.C.'s transfer payments from Ottawa, "when a year ago they asked the feds to do this." "We have an opportunistic, hypocritical government. What are they doing? Trying to get votes by bashing Ottawa. He told them to cut deeper into social services which haven't recovered from the Bennett days when they gutted the system." Smallwood neglected to add that Zalm asked for spending cuts on the condition that they be evenly applied and that plans for the Goods and Services Tax be shelved, as did federal finance minister Michael Wilson when he defended his cuts to this province in the House of Commons last week. Smallwood went on to say that her riding of Surrey has 25 less schools than it requires, partially due to "phenomenal growth" in population, but also due to caps on spending set by the Socred government under Bill Bennett and then-education minister VanderZalm. Under- funding has also led to serious under-staffing at regional hospitals in Langley, Surrey and Peace Arch, which means that ambulances are sent in search of another facility when these are at full capac- predicts election THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1980 25 Ilfll ■ft! tilif Joan Smallwood. uy. "They have ignored the needs of people. They've so eroded funding with their mean-spirited policies that we can't ensure that we will have a bed available when one of your loved ones needs it." "The underlying thread is people feel powerless as the environment, wages are driven down. If there is any one message from Mike Harcourt our number one goal is to share power from Victoria. We want to empower people in the regions. That is the key." She said B.C.'s biggest industry, forestry has been set up by Socreds for confrontation between environmentalists and forestry workers and dependent communities, but "the real culprit is the companies with headquarters in countries elsewhere, who only see the good of their balance sheet. The province does not police, it allows poorest practices, export of raw logs, and looks after their friends."

Carstairs seeks Liberals' support ALDERGROVE - Ontario M.P. Sharon Carstairs commented on Meech Lake, education and equal rights for all Canadians, as she addressed a capacity crowd at Aldergrove's Motor Inn. Canada, says Carstairs, must begin to choose leaders based on ability, not nationality. Voters have a record of alternating between English and French leaders. Canada's next leader, says Carstairs, is John Chretien. She quickly set about dispelling myths and rumors of Chretien shirking '■'•' ■■■! ■ ; Tenders recalled MURRAYVILLE - Tenders will be called for a second time on Langley's two-year towing contract, says township Mayor John Beales. "Things weren't as explicit as they should have been", in the bids submitted last month by Clover Towing and the Partel-Quiring group, according to Beales. For the past couple of weeks the two groups have tried to convince councilors to "choose me" but the aldermen were split on the issue, three being in favor of one group and the other three seemingly preferring the other bidder. Contract is very lucrative, with thousands of cars being towed by the winner over the next two years. responsibilities. It was not Chretien, but other party members who blocked him, commented Carstairs. She continued to relate "the good Chretien has done" and mentioned the help she received from him during her own bid for election. "No matter what, he always returned my calls and made sure I contacted the right people. He even supported me on national television," said Carstairs. Carstairs called the issue of whether turbans should be included in the RCMP uniform ludicrous. "A turban is just another hat," she said, noting that prior to 1974, women were not permitted in the RCMP. Once women did join, the uniform was adjusted accordingly. In speaking to education and Meech Lake, Carstairs stressed the need for an equal opportunity system both in education and the cost of living, enabling students and families living in Canada's Atlantic provinces the same chances as people living on the west coast. Carstairs opposes Meech Lake, calling it a step backwards for Canada. The Accord, she says, will place one group of Canadians above the rest. The Mulroney government, she said, is out of touch with the people, of Canada. ■ ■ ■*■*■*■■■ THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1, 1990 31 New wafermain pipe gets protective cedar wrap for Fraser crossing LANGLEY - A new watermain pipe wrapped in 120,000 board feet of western red cedar was installed in the Fraser River in Langley, on Feb. 17. According to John Morse, Manager, water & construction at the Greater Vancouver Water District, the underwater pipe is an extension to the current watermain system and is a major new fresh water supply feed, for Surrey and the township of Langley. The water supply will originate in Coquitlam. A channel was dredged 16 metres below local low water level by Miller Dredging Ltd. of Langley. The pipe was pulled into position across the Fraser River from the north side by a 200 ton capacity winch. The welded steel pipe, lined with coal tar enamel inside and out for corrosion protection, is wrapped in 2x4 strips of cedar secured with banding straps. The cedar lagging protected the pipe coating by providing abrasion resistance while the pipe was being pulled into the river. Cedar was specified for this project because of its durability, light weight and ease of handling. The flotation qualities of the wood also help to reduce the dead load. A total of 120,000 board feet of western red cedar was utilized for the 3,200 foot long pipe, which is 54 inches in diameter. The cedar was supplied by Northern Building Supplies of Vancouver. The watermain extension project is being funded by the township of Langley and the Greater Vancouver Water District. The river-crossing phase, which includes the construction and installation of the underwater pipe, is estimated to cost $2-million. The water district is providing the construction crews for the project, which has been under way since mid-December. The overall water supply scheme is scheduled to be completed in June 1990 when all connections to the watermain have been built. MAN! #44 Andy Clark blocks a pass game against Frank Hurt last attempt during their final weekend. Thrills and spills on the literary circuit WASHINGTON - Tom Clancy stood on the balcony of his newly-built $2-million mansion on an otherwise empty clifftop at Hungtingtown, Maryland, tracking a bald eage as it flew lazily into view to hang for a moment in the still air before pouncing on its prey. The master of the techno- thriller clearly loves this wilderness where six years ago he was lodged in a little house, bored stiff as a writer of auto, fire and casualty insurance. Between clients he crafted spy stories on the kitchen table. "In America there's no excuse; you can go out and do anything you damn well please if you try hard enough," he said, putting down the binoculars and musing on his luck. "A reason I got into the thriller business was that I looked around and saw that all the great writers, Freddy Forsyth, Gerry Seymour, were Brits. I thought it was time an American gave it a shot." He had just come from his underground shooting range, by the swimming pool, and was wondering whether it would be wise to invest in a Mayfair flat. His earnings in the past year topped $6- million. His advance for Clear and Present Danger, still No. 2 after 21 weeks in the New York Times best-seller list, was $4-million. "See that driveway," he said, pointing to the road winding to his front door. "That cost $50,000 to pave - the amount I used to earn in a year." More income is due. In his study were canvas chairs from the Hollywood film set he had just visited to watch his first book, The Hunt for Red October, being prepared for the screen with Sean Connery as the star. "I am 42 and could retire now if I wanted to." He won't, of course, even though his last book "just about burnt me out". As sportwriter Red Smith observed: "There's nothing to writing. All you do is to sit down, open a vein and watch the words bleed, drop by drop." Clancy agreed. "It's miserably hard work. I hate it." In fact, Clancy can't stop. He is now a brand name, along with Sidney Sheldon, reputed to have signed a $50-million contract for his next four books. Nevertheless, alarm bells are ringing in the publishing houses of America. The wild days of $96-million being paid for hardcover and paperback rights to Agatha Christie mysteries and $10- million for four Len Deighton spy novels, may be over. There is just no way that some publishers will recoup their money from promoting presigious cleints, 'except by forcing books down readers' throats or cutting payments to first-time and middling authors. Major losses are being experienced as best-sellers are suddenly beginning to have shorter-than-expected lifespans. Sales of hardbacks slumped in the summer, down 16 percent in a year. Paperback sales are flat, book clubs are buying fewer titles and paying less, and the joy-ride looks as if it is over for some, with the "kiss-and-tell" biographies taking over from fiction as more bankable items. Maybe Saul Bellow, the continent's pre-eminent man of letters, has the answer. He has switched to writing novellas that go straight into paperback. He is on his third. "Now I feel that beyond a certain length, you probably ought not to venture," he said. At 75, he admitted his own attention span was shrinking. "I would think twice before sitting down to a 600-page novel." Bellow added: "Literature no longer has the appeal it had when I was young, when people were brought up to read books and there was no competition with other kinds of entertainment. In the past, we even had presdients who were very good writers and obviously very good readers." The other way of grabbing attention is to take the route mapped by Thomas Pynchon, who, unliked Garbo and Howard Hughes, had the foresight to make himself scarce before he became known. The last published picture of him was from his 1953 high school year book. He held just one job, it seems, at Seattle in 1959. He was an adviser to Boeing on the writing of technical documents. His first book, V, came out that year, and he vanished, his anonymity guarded by a circle of friends and editors. As a result he is even more of a literary cult figure than J.D. Salinger, another recluse who disappeared into his own fame. Pynchon's 760-page Gravity's Rainbow is read annually on the steps of the library at Princeton University by 76 volunteers in a non-stop torrent. The homage lasts 38 hours. Now, after a literary silence of 17 years, Vineland, his follow-up work, has just been published. At 52, he is again the talk of the literary circuit, aided by another gimmick. No galleys were issued to reviewers or foreign publishers, the first time anyone can remember this being done with a novel. The New York Times found the perfect reviewer, Salman Rushdie. -\y O TOYOTA ABBOISFOIP 859-7137 MOST VEHICLES COME WITH SO POINT MECHANICAL INSPECTION AND SIX MONTH -10,000 KM.
