■•y. MURRAYVILLE - It is "nice !to see that people are . responding,." says Aid. John Scholtens, Some local property owners have again protested tax increases in Langley. • Michael Stockwell of 24883 Robertson Crescent calls for a v tax rollback rather than an increase. i "Blame, for high taxes in gejneral has to be placed on ' all three levels of government, " says Stockwell. "Hopefully overspending on needless things can be stopped at all levels, and a good place to start is in our own back yard." And Ed Brown of Aldergrove views "with grave concern the report that there will be another unjust rise in property taxes this year." Retired Ed and Peggy Brown are on a fixed income of $5,000 annually. "We find it very hard indeed to keep up with these increases year after year," says Ed. Their taxes have doubled in seven.years, yet their income is still the •'same. : ■■ /-■ ' 'I hope the report we heard (of a 6J4 percent tax increase), is false and there will not be any increase," says Ed. This hope is shared by many other seniors on fixed income. VOL. 33 NO. 8 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1991' 30 CENTS Established 1957 3089 - 272 Street, Aldergrove, B.C. Call 856-8303 or 856-5212 vote for a "olitef"? ALDERGROVE - If non- natives are- to pay taxes to an Indian band, then they should also have the right to vote for a chief, sftys Aid. John Scholtens. Amendments to the Indian Act in 1988 allowed hands, to tax leased reserve land, and now the Sto'Lo Nations, representing the .; Matsqui Indians, is preparing a bylaw that will tax the occupiers of a south Aldergrove reserve. A few years ago the land near the US border was leased to the Pioneer Park, a seniors housing co-op. Potential for ! dual taxation was addressed by the provincial government in 1990, and Indians .were granted the right to levy their own taxes. The Sto'Lo's have opted for independent taxation and announced their intention to start levying taxes this year. However, according to municipal and provincial authorities it is not clear if other levies Owners to sue ALDERGROVE - Fraser Valley landowners say they will sue if the provincial government doesn't approve exploratory natural gas drilling. A report has recommended the government not approve the exploration. The landowners own the mineral rights and they say if there's gas beneath their land it's just another cash crop. The report prepared for the provincial 'government has estimated it would cost $200 million to compensate the holders of the mineral rights. will be adjusted to remove Pioneer Park from the provincial assessment roll. "At this time we intend to continue to levy-property, taxation on the. occupiers of Pioneer Park until the position of the municipality is clear," says Langley township's treasurer Sieve Wilcock. Municipal officials have started negotiations with the local band to find out what services,they as owners of, the land will provide. If the Indians want to contract all or part of the services presently provided by the township, municipal officials are prepared to continue in an arrangement with the band.. However, it is completely up to the Indians whether they want to provide the services themselves or having them provided by the outside community. Services now provided by Langley include police and fire protection, the use of local roads, street lights, parks, recreation facilities, public library and garbage disposal. But there is no requirement in federal or provincial legislation that i non-native residents be given any representation by the band in exchange for taxation. Presently, there is some controversy in the U.S.A. where the Indians have gained similar rights and the non-natives feel that this is unconstitutional under the U.S. charter which says that there shall be no taxation without representation. In some jurisdictions, the matter is being pursued to the federal court.

However, not everybody agrees. Several aldemen have expressed concern that Langley cannot keep pushing up taxes. And that is what will have to happen if the demand continues unchecked, they say. "Significantly improving" recreation in Langley will "provide citizens with a good quality of Hie," says McMullan.

A Parks and Recreation 'Master Plan towards the 21st Century' has just been released by the commission. It is an impressive document that rivals, if not the official King James version of the Bible then at least Leon Tolstoy's War and Peace; when it comes to size. Four people backed up McMullan's enthusiasm Monday night. They were: Iris Preston of the Langley Arts Council who said the community "needs a place" for music, arts and dance and "has been nagging for it for the past. 20 years"; Trish Salisbury of the Association for the Handicapped saying that "council has the obligation to provide" more facilities for this group and expressing disappointment that they had been overlooked in the master plan; Justin Price from Walnut Grove lobbying for a "deserved tri- faciiity (of hall, pool and ice rink)" in that community, and Wilf Rimmer more or less echoing Price's sentiments. From Aldergrove came Ann Moody representing residents of the South Jackman area. All they wanted was for the motorcycle racetrack near the old Aldergrove dump to be closed down. Murderer pleads guilty NEW WESTMINSTER - Trevor Rodney Peters, 25, has pleaded guilty in Supreme Court to second degree murder, in connection with the death of a Vancouver woman found in a Langley ditch last summer. The conviction carries an automatic sentence of life imprisonment. Peters, of Surrey, appears in court again on Feb. 25, at which time he will also be committed for trial on four other charges of aggravated assault.

Peters explained that the Habitat for Humanity program originated in Georgia and presently a house is being finished in the Huntingdon area. It works this way, according to Peters: People who cannot afford their own home are selected from a list of applicants recommended to the church group, and then a bunch of volunteers get together donating their labor and canvassing for free building materials and, if possible, land as well. A modest house (the one in Huntingdon is 1,000 square feet) is put up, and the low-income people chosen move in, while the crew moves on to the next project, ".j Peters said a house built in this. fashion costs $60,000. to $70,000, and the new occupants repay this in 240 installments (20 years) at approximately $325 a month. Ten percent of the proceeds from the actual construction goes to underdeveloped countries, Peters said. He told councilors that the organizers presently are looking at Langley and Surrey.as potential sites for more homes of this type. Amalgamation?

Very young racetrack fans will be able to ride their motorbikes for one more year at the Jackman Road track. Langley's municipal councilors this week decided to renew the lease with the Lower Mainland Motocross Club. But instead of three years, as recommended by the recreation department, they opted for a final one-year lease. "(Motocross) is a bona- fide recreation," argued Aid. Steve Ferguson. Even so, many south Aldergrove residents are not overly happy. They had hoped this would be the last they.had heard of the racing machines. Aid. Aubrey Serle tried to veto the lease renewal. "SARA (South Aldergrove Residents Association) is due;: for a break," he said, accompanied by applause from the audience. However, other councilors expressed the opinion that a termination of the lease now or later would not stop motorbike racing on the property next to the abandoned Aldergrove dump. "What do we do with that area?" asked Aid. John Campbell. Municipal-owned; land Would continue to attract bike riders, he said, and Mayor John Beales agreed. hydro's goal Gordon Greenwood (left) and Jim Gilbert (husband of the late Betty Gilbert) were formally introduced to the designs of the new elementary schools to be named after Gordon and Betty, by school board chairman Marlene Grinnell, Monday night. VICTORIA - B.C. Hydro's interim report for the six month period ended September 30 notes Hydro's continuing effort to manage its resources in the most efficient manner possible. Despite a higher level of operating activity and customer growth, Hydro says, significant progress is being made in achieving its objective of being the most efficient utility in North America. Operating expenses were held virtually constant despite a substantial expansion of the distribution system to connect a record 35,310 new customers in the last year. Hydro's net income for the School boundary decision postponed MILNER - The school board has received information on parental concerns over new elementary school boundaries in Aldergrove, but was not prepared to discuss the issue at their meeting, Monday. Chairman Marlene Grinnell said a recommendation oyer the controversial changes will be distributed prior to the March 4 meeting, so that the board and concerned parents have time to discuss the changes. The Star has agreed to publish the proposed new boundaries in the Feb. 28 edition, provided it is available at presstime. It will be circulated through the Aldergrove town core elementary schools by the board, also. A number of proposals were circulated to parents at the meeting, who in turn expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of a response to their delegation to the Feb. 4 meeting of the board. Grinnell promised a response before the next board meeting, as the proposals are discussed by trustees. The board was also interested in a proposal to enlarge the Parkside school playing fields by levelling off the old railway grade and ravine at the back of the school. This area, at least a quarter acre in: size, is presently off-limits because of safety concerns, and its neglect has resulted in an unsightly mess of garbage. first six months of the current fiscal year was $50 million, a $16 million increase over the same period last year. However, when . non-recurring', items are excluded from last year's net income, .the. improvement was actually $71 million'. The rate of return on both equity and invested capital continues to be substantially below that expected of investor owned utilities. The report says the improved results during the first half of the fiscal year's operations must be viewed in light of today's economic reality. New school names now official MILNER - "Nobody ever leaves us, they're always with ■us," said Jim Gilbert, . Monday evening at the school board meeting. Gilbert expressed deep appreciation that the new Aldergrove elementary school will be named after his late wife, Betty. The new school is; at 27 Avenue and 268 Street, and opens this September for more than 300 students. Betty Gilbert was a primary teacher at Parkside at the time of her passing in 1985. She was raised in Aldergrove, raised her children here and taught in Aldergrove elementary schools throughout her career. School board chairman Marlene Grinnell said the late Gilbert "exemplified outstanding qualities in education" and a "commitment to children." Jim Gilbert told anecdotes of Betty's dedication to her students, in . thanking the school district for the honor. Gordon Greenwood was" also delighted to have the new Walnut Grove elementary named after him. A former school trustee, Grim-ell said he lived in Fort Langley most of his life and ' showed "leadership." and a "strong commitment to family and children." Greenwood observed that his 12 years on the school board were a "fascinating hobby ... I didn't have time for anything else" aside from his business. He added that he was pleased that two of his .grandchildren would be attending the Betty Gilbert school this fall.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY 21, 1991 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Scholtens says keep taxes down Editor, The Star, Sir, In reading a letter to the editor in your paper last week, there seems to be some confusion oh my position on municipally-staffed community halls. The community halls in our township have up to this point been owned and operated by community groups from the area the halls serve, i.e. Brookswood hall, Patricia hall, Murrayville hall, etc. These halls serve a very important role. They serve as a meeting place for cubs and scouts, for service clubs, etc. They raise their revenues by renting the hall out for profit for weddings, meetings and parties. The only cost to the taxpayer is a grant in lieu of taxes and the occasional grant for capital improvements, totalling $9,000. last year. Volunteers are the back bone to the success of the community halls. Now there is a push by municipal bureaucrats to change the role of community halls; to staff them professionals and to offer more programs. I have been fighting this trend every step of the way, knowing that when facilities are staffed by paid workers, they become expensive. We now have our first municipally staffed community hall in Aldergrove at a cost of $120,000. a year. That breaks down to $328. every day, seven days a week. If every community hall was municipally staffed it would add $1.2-million to our operating budget. As an alderman I have found the only way to keep taxes down is to avoid new programs. A program takes on a life of its own. One staff member needs a secretary, two staff members need a supervisor and on and on it goes. Once a program is started it is virtually impossible to control, never mind trying to end one. Our taxes are stealing more and more of our income. All levels of government are guilty of this theft. There is only once source of money; that is you, the tax-payer. Volunteers are doing a good job running their community halls. Why replace them with paid staff? JOHN SCHOLTENS MurrayvJ_le But Is It really going to happen? Editor, The Star, Sir, Our politicians have lost all consideration for the will of the majority. First they go behind locked doors and give themselves lOOpercent raises. When many of the taxpayers! are scratching their heads trying to come up with the money to pay the taxes, they don't bat an eye. Slap on 6V^ percent after having one of the best years ever in growth. Then I see 1.5 percent goes into a "reserve", to assist with financing of "future" 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 ais clearly and briefly as possible. The editor reserves the right to condense or reject letters. capital expenditures, a further one percent has been allocated to a "reserve" for future" recreation and cultural facilities. This is 2V& percent of the 1991 budget expected to be $8S.2-mil_ion. That's not peanuts. This is money they are taking which they don't need and not sure what they are going to do with it. Oh yes, the new municipal hall, of course, they cannot work out of a lesser facility than the police, then comes that multi-million dollar art centre which the people voted down, which they already know will be a money loser. They must hire more planners, create new departments so when they authorize the new hall, they have good reason for spending millions. Just what is meant by the statement it is the intent of administration and council to be fiscally responsible and help strengthen the (private sector) economy? The majority of tax payers would be much happier if they did not have to shell out $250,000 each year for that swimming pool, which was built to satisfy the aristocrats, which was to be self sufficient we were told by those who had all the answers. The Premier's no tax increase was not listened by his fellow Social Crediters.

COMB ON OOOB...STM OK) JOST FOR OS»- FOR THE- STAR Does Peterson's stand jibe with government's? Editor, The Stan Sir, MLA Dan Peterson sent a letter to constituents on Feb. 5 stating his position on and requesting comments regarding his stand on gas storage in the valley. I have given him my comments and will pass on some of them to your readers for consideration: 1. The valley residents who own their own mineral rights were cut out of any potential profits by the government in 1988. The only intention was storage and you cannot have drilling over storage. It seems the mineral rights owners don't know this. Time for honesty by the government, don't you think? 2. Another point to remember is that the reason they want underground aquifer storage; or undeground storage of any type is that it is cheap. Not only is it cheap but they do not have to accept the risk. The risk is taken by the taxpayer, the resident and the environment. Don't be deceived; here is considerable risk. RCMP, teachers appreciated Editor, The Star, Sir, "Thanks R.C.M.P." I'm impressed with the Langley RCMP Crime Prevention program available to our schools. Congratulations to the teachers who are taking the time to invite the program to their already busy teaching day. Crime prevention is a good investment for everyone's future. ANNE EPP Aldergrove 3. The statement that the risks of exploratory drilling are minimal and that residents will suffer no inconvenience is absolute and total garbage. You cannot move major industrial activity of that type into an agricultural/residential area without major interruption, inconvenience and damage. 4. The comment on "common good" is nonsensical. The common good in 1991 has to be water, food and a clean environment. These goals are not compatible with gas drilling and storage. You want to jeopardize future food and water supplies to consume a finite resource faster than we already dol Where is the common sense? Whose common good is the government concerned with? 5. You should know that your government has changed all of the ground rules regarding gas reserves and exports in the past couple of years. This was done to increase export sales. This move will hasten the consumption of a non renewable resource. Why? Your actions will ultimately increase energy prices and reduce the reliability of our supply! ,6. Have you read the Order in Council signed by your government in 1988? Details of this order were recently published. Do you know what your government _s doing? 7. Your government has stated they, oppose underground storage. You state that you want exploratory drilling to proceed to see if storage is feasible. Are you in the same government, are you communicating? You stated at our previous meeting that you were not going to make a decision or public statement on the matter until the commission filed its report. You have made your statement and I disagree vehemently with your conclusions. ALLAN H. ROBINSON 491 - 256 Street Aldergrove Mothers' thanks Editor.

Soccer team met the Surrey Knights Saturday with a 5-1 result going in Aldergrove's favour. The Raiders having beat the Knights 5-0 two weeks previous, came out flat While the Knights, took advantage and made it 1-0 with a well executed 3-way passing play which keeper Mitch Jorgensen had no chance on. Now as the time for the Raiders , to rebound but the. Knights showed great hustle by. be£tt> ing Raider players to thie ball and again having good scoring, chances. It wasn't till late in the half that the Raiders midfielder Brad Neufeld would pinch in on the left side and cross a ball to winter Glen Povey who , made no mistake on tying the game. . Tied at half the Alder Trin Riaders coaching staff' looked a little worried realizing that the: Suitey Knights had come, to play and the Raiders would have to dig. deep for that extra energy to regain some Of the play which 'might end in more scoring chances. Coach Johnson mentioned to the boys, just go out and do what has worked for us in the past, positional play and accurate passing. Everyone knew that the next goal would be all important and the Raiders had to apply pressure. Early into the second half the Raiders received that needed goal off the foot of Mason Bolona in a goal mouth scramble when the knights goalie could not '. manage to get his hands on the ball. With the one goal lead the play was still even going back and forth with great trench work on defense by James Hamilton, Trevor Spence and Andrew Bell. The Raiders started to show some spark and returned to their winning style of play. Moving the ball with accurate passes resulted with a third goal by centre Neil McKinlay as he lay on the ground and managed to get a shot away to the corner. This third goal caught the Knights totally off guard and seemed to be the difference as McKinlay would go on to score another two goals to complete the hat trick.

Grinnell said the ministry information, received last week, said Langley will receive 88 percent of the average $5,259 per student grant instead of 86 percent; "We're now the second lowest in the province," said a smiling Grinnell. (Langley was previously the lowest in the province, due to the "weighting factor" formula employed by the ministry). "We won't ask why... it's absolutely incredible ... we'll just take the dollars." Grinnell added that the board, has' "certainly made enough presentations" to ministry officials over the funding inequities as Langley officials saw it. She said this may. have resulted in the ministry announcement that special provisions would be made to some school districts regarding their status in '89- '90, "the year before introduction of block funding." The ministry has announced that '91'92 block funding will increase to $5,500 per pupil, but have not disclosed the weighting factor which will see some of "B.C.'s 75 districts ' receive more than the average and some less than that. The weighting factor _s an attempt to make education equally available to all students; despite the differences in such things as geography of the districts. NEW WESTMINSTERw. The B.C.

ABBOTSFORD -The Fraser Valley Cascades suffered a disappointing weekend. They lost both league games, first against Douglas 62-53 and then to Capilano. The Douglas game was an even fight up until the last few minutes. Coach Mike Hind said "we played well for 37 minutes, but then we fell apart for the last 3 minutes." The Cascades missed a key shot with 2 minutes remaining which gave Douglas possession and a 2 point lead. They capitalized on it and scored another 2 points. Caffie Caffie Carlson of Douglas did most damage with 25 points of her own. The Cascades high scorer was Tracy McLeod with 14 points. The tone was set for the second game, the; Cascades lost the motivation for the Cascades' men go 0 for 2 ABBOTSFORD - It was a dismal weekend for the Fraser Valley College Cascades, starting on Friday with a 25 point loss to Douglas College, and ending on Saturday with a 20 point loss to Capilano College. The Cascades came out strong against Douglas, the number 3 ranked team in the Canada, the first in the B.C. college conference. For the first.. 5 minutes the Cascades were ahead, but by half' time the much larger and stronger Douglas team had taken control. Half time score Douglas 46, FVC 32. In the second half Douglas had complete control pushing past F.V.C. with a final score of 100 to 75. Mark.Grant played superbly for the Cascades with 26 points, butt it was to no avail. ' Saturday Capilano College shot the lights out in then- own gym. Again the outsized FVC team could not keep the Blues from feeding their big men. D. Lawes and M. Bunting scored 34 and 30 points respectively for the Capilano team. The final score was Capilano 117, FVC 97. High scoring Cascades were Vince Van Dyk and Grant with 18 points each. Mohawk's new gas saves on oil, too VANCOUVER - Mohawk Oil's new "Regular Plus" which contains up to 10 percent ethanol is not only clean- burning and thus environmentally friendly, but also meets the federal government's objective to save on high priced oil as outlined by Energy Minister Jake Epp last week. Mohawk annually manufactures over 10,000,000 litres of Ethanol from prairie grain at the company's plant at Minnedosa, Man. and this spring will start producing a similar quantity from the multi-million dollar plant at Lanigan, Sask. _ "Regular Plus" joins "Premium Plus", also containing ethanol, and is now available at over 300 Mohawk service stations across Western Canada. "Regular Plus" offers environment and thrift- conscious motorists significant benefits. Chuck Husel, Mohawk's president marketing stated, "It has the highest octane of any regular unleaded in the West, saves on our diminishing aiid incrreas- ingly costly oil supplies, has the lowest rate of harmful exhaust emissions than any other regular fuel and along with "Premium Plus" is the only gasoline to qualify for the Canadian environmental Eco-logo designation." game against Capilano who played a very good game, hitting almost everything from the outside. Sheryl Kinton of Capilano led the team with 22. points, which put the Cascades away. Fraser Valley had a lead of eight before the half. but lost it quickly. The Cascades are still second in the league but must win then- next two games. WWHVj 1991 Autoplan Changes PREMIUMS Who pays more?Why? Based on past experience and projections, ICBC requires 4.5 per cent more premium income in 1991 - 3 per cent to pay for claims and improved Autoplan benefits, plus 1.5 per cent to Offset the impact of the federal Goods and Services Tax. Each year, ICBC determines which coverages, territories and vehicle uses have increased or decreased in relative claims cost. If your premium is changed more than the average, it is because of the various factors which affect insurance rating: the value, age and use of your vehicle, where you live, what coverage you choose and where you are on.the Claim- Rated Scale. / ■"■ r* _. " ■ ■■'.- _- • Cbmphlsory Coverage , The largest part of ypiir basic Autoplan insurance is made up of liability coverage (to protect you if claims are brought against you by others) and No-Fault Accident coverage. Premiums for these coverages, including extended liability, are being increased, on a province-wide average, by 4 per cent for claim-free motorists. As we mentioned above, depending upon where you live and the coverage you choose, the change in your premium may differ from the average. Collision & Comprehensive Each year about a third of all vehicle models are "aged" and the collision premium is adjusted to reflect decreased value. Collision premium increases may apply to other vehicle models. Comprehensive coverage premiums are also adjusted to reflect claims experience, vehicle value, use and territory. Sharp increases in windshield, theft and vandalism claims have led ICBC to increase premiums for Comprehensive coverage by an average 15 per cent. DICBC Underinsured Motorist Protection (UMP) will cost $4 more. GST Impact When you buy your Autoplan insurance you will not pay the . 7 per cent GSTon your 1991 Autoplan premiums. Financial transactions of this nature are exempt. However, ICBC will be required to pay the GST on many goods and services it purchases. ANY GOOD NEWS? Yes. More and more people are participating in carpools and we've made a change that will make carpooling an even better deal. In the past you could drive a vehicle rated for "pleasure only" to and from work on only 4 days in a calendar month. We've increased that to 6 days so that, even in the longer months of th-* year, four carpool members who own pleasure-rated vehicles can share the driving to and from work without relating their vehicles, as long as each of them drives to work not more than 6 days in the calendar month. The change to 6 days also applies to some other vehicle use classes. Ask your Autoplan agent to be sure you are rated correctly. Increased Weekly Benefits As of January 1,1991 accident victims who qualify will receive increased * compensation for lost wages. ICBC is increasing the maximum weekly indemnity from $200 to $300 provided that does not exceed 75 per cent of the victim's gross weekly income at the time of the accident. This applies to all new claims as well as to all outstanding claims. Payments will not be retroactive but will start at the new level as of January 1991. Short Term Savings Prior to January 1,1991 a surcharge of 5 per cent of the annual premium has been charged to people licencing . and insuring their vehicles for periods of less than 12 months (short term licence and insurance). This surcharge has been reduced to 4 per cent (minimum $20) to make the short term option even more affordable. WHAT ELSE? Territories For insurance rating purposes, BC is divided into 14 territories. In the past your Autoplan agent asked where your vehicle was principally operated in determining your premium. Now, for most vehicles, the territory is defined as whereihe vehicle is "garaged" that is, "primarily located when hot in use". In most cases, this would be the vehicle owner's home address. This and other territorial changes have been made to accurately reflect claims experience in different parts of the Province. New consequences ofmisrating ICBC has established a new procedure to deal with the serious problem of deliberate misrating of vehicles. If you make a claim and your vehicle is found to be misrated, you will pay ten times the difference between the cost of the coverage you were carrying at the time of the accident and the coverage you should have had, with a minimum of $500 and a maximum of $10,000.

"Psychic ghostbuster" Norma Cowie says she does, and she will be among those sharing these experiences at the fourth annual Psychic ESP Fair, March 1-8 at the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre. Cowie said that over the past 25 years she's been called to deal with ghosts and haunt- ings. "Ghosts are simply spirits caught in space and time. They do not know they are dead and usually are looking for attention, wondering why nobody talks to them. What I do is engage them in conversation to discover what is holding them there, then encourage them to let go and link with the light so they can complete their transition to the other side," said Cowie.

"A to Z" is inspired by 1990's Year of Literacy, and the pure pleasures of language: the result is music with songs and rhymes representing every letter of the alphabet. Compared to Peter, Paul and Mary, the Weavers, Pete Seeger, The Manhatten Transfer and even Michael Jackson, the three talented, energetic performers have caused a sensation in concert halls, record stores, living rooms and classrooms across ■■ the continent. ■-•■" They have forever put an end to what was patronizingly called "kiddie music", and have made "children's music for the whole family" an exciting, vigorous musical genre.

The announcement came at a press conference organized by Music '91 to kick off the 31st Annual Vernon Winter Carnival and to launch their own programs for this, the year of music. Over 300 invitees were on hand and witnessed the unveiling of the PNE's 1991 parade float which features glitter-covered oversized musical instruments played by a band of miniature musicians. The self-propelled float is scheduled to appear at parades and festivals throughout British Columbia between now and fair-time. When asked to comment on the reason behind the selection of this year's fair theme, PNE president Morgan Thomas explained, "We've chosen a salute to music as our theme for the fair because music, like the fair, touches everyone's lives. And Music '91 is a community based program which calls for the participation of all British Columbians and participation and involvement are both at the heart of the PNE." Dates of this year's provincial fair are Aug. 16 to Sept. 2 and they're inviting everyone, in communities throughout British Columbia to get involved. Does your community have someone who sings like Liza Minelli (M.C. Hammer) or dances like Fred Astaire (Paula Abdul)? Don't keep them to yourselves. The Youth Talent Search needs your help. Former contestants like Bryant Oldender who won in 1988, went on to tour in Japan.

Tickets Eatons ticket Centre and Logos Books. By LARA BRODIE Wow. The Silence of the Lambs was actually an excellently brought about picture. It was intelligently made and the characters brought realism to the screen. During much of the film, the suspense level was horridly high and just barely bearable. It focuses on a strong and determined young F.B.I, student, Clarice Starling, who gets caught in the middle of the pursuit of "Buffalo Bill," a madman killing women. Then there is Hannibal the . cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecture, a ferocious creature, psychotically promising to help. Clarice get promoted. With her own wit and intelli- igence, Starling manages to thread together the faint scraps of information that the doctor gave her and suddenly she's all alone ... Although this film did contain some horrible gore and some of the scenes were disgustingly realistic, the plot zigzags and the strong character relationship between Clarice (played by Oscar- winning Jody Foster) and Hannibal held the film neatly in place. There were many points at which I thought I would walk out of the theatre, but no matter how bad it got, I had to know what happened. Containing sizzling suspense, perfect portrayals and precise dialogue, this movie definitely held my interest. There were even moments of humor. ed if you have really good Wonderful, but not suggest- eyesight. 3A0«9«_aiV AVMH9IH H_SVti_ muz !■■■■_■■■■ i 16/ieuviN SHUIdX. 9NIH_a_0 N3HM -3SIAGV _SV31d iNOdnOO SIHl HUM . -,Mn jn.\JOU« ]y_ayo0021$ niiai a inu an >uidi SaVIVS UVS3V0 2-33Ud 3IT1VA 0e'9$ VlSVdVVZZId -snip-H S3||W £ t>!MUM 00_$ J3PjO uimuiuiw AHSAnaa mm (II VI.HI.OOh CINEMAS 32500 South Fraser Way (604) 850-2233 JOHN GOODMAN -PETER 0T0OLE A .real inijuth has befallen the royal family leaving only one heir 10 the throne... _ Hi NIGHTLY: 7:00, 9:20 MATINEES SAT.

Survey shows 85% of users approve privatized work RICHMOND - An overwhelming majority of major users of provincial highways in British Columbia approve of the work being performed under the privatized system of road maintenance. ' The 85 percent approval rating is one of the findings of a survey conducted for the B.C. Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association. Results of the survey, which included users in the Fraser Valley area, were released Jan. 18. "The survey confirms that private contractors on the whole are maintaining highways and bridges throughout the province to the high standards that British Columbians have come to expect," said Ivan Hanchard, president of the road builders group. A total of 20 firms are now handling road and bridge maintenance in all regions of the province as part of Victoria's privatization program launched two years ago. Work was awarded to private firms through a competitive bidding process that resulted in contracts being awarded for work required to meet established provincial standards. The latest survey revealed that 85.7 percent of respondents approved of the overall maintenance of provincial roads and bridges; 14.3 expressed disapproval. Sanding and salting efforts received an 80 percent approval, rating it from adequate to excellent; snow plowing 78 percent; pavement, patching and pothole maintenance 74 percent; grass cutting and landscaping 92 percent; and litter pick-up 88 percent. Maintenance of municipal roads and bridges received ah . d.l percent ■ approval rating. Asked about the general adequacy of both provincial and municipal roads, 75 percent replied that they were adequate or better. A further 81 percent expressed satisfaction with provincial bridges, 60 percent of respondents said they favored increased spend*' ing on provincial roads, 52 percent supported more spending on provincial bridges and 55 percent supported more spending on municipal roads and 46 percent supported more spending on municipal bridges. Questioned whether they would support increased taxes specifically to fund new expenditures on improving roads and bridges, 60 percent of respondents said they favored increased spending on provincial roads, 52 percent supported more spending on provincial bridges, 55 percent supported more spending on municipal roads and 46 percent supported more spending on municipal bridges. Invited to give rankings of government spending priorities, 96 percent said spending on roads and bridges was somewhat to very important; 92 percent cited the importance of hospitals and health; 76 percent schools and universities; 73 percent the environment; 72 percent social and welfare programs. The mail-out survey, which attracted 407 responses, was conducted for the Road Builders by Arthur Andersen & Co. during November and December. It was directed to major highway user groups throughout the province, including, truckers, .truck loggers, ambulance stations, RCMP detachments, school transportation supervisors, municipal and consulting engineers, courier companies, bus lines, mining companies, motel and campground operators and construction companies. Contractors accounted for seven percent of responses. ABBOTSFORD- As part of a new community-based performance initiative, Ballet British Columbia is responding to an overwhelming interest expressed in taking the company beyond the city limits of Vancouver.

The Public Inquiry Commission Report on Fraser Valley gas exploration has recently been released. Many of its findings are favourable to the environment and the economy. The report concluded that discovering or developing a supply of natural gas in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley area would be in the public interest: "The risks are very slight and the gains may be great." Following are a few of the benefits listed in the report. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS • Positive impact on agriculture and protection of farmland. • Positive impact on habitat protection for wildlife. • Positive impact on providing clean air for residents. Page 23 "The area of the province which would most benefit from a greater use of natural gas is the Fraser Valley... without substantial conversion to natural gas or some other less polluting fuel for vehicles, the Lower Mainland population and the Fraser Valley population in Krticular can be expected to suffer from deteriorating air quality." sitive impact on the conservation of natural gas resources throughout the province. ECONOMIC BENEFITS • Savings to gas customers of at least $30 million per year. • Savings to gas production industry and others of an additional $35 million per year. • Increased provincial and municipal revenues from royalties and taxes. Page 20 "Further, the industry will likely pay more than its share of local taxes, and in addition make substantial voluntary contributions to local facilities." SECURITY OFSUPPLY • Protection against possible pipeline disruption. • Protection against possible termination of present gas storage rental agreements with the US. • Enhanced economic development in B.C. Page51 "...that option,(storing gas in the United States) has the disadvantage of considerable uncertainty, uncertainty over which the British Columbia Government and BC Gas have very little control." CONCERNS ANSWERED The Commission examined public concerns and concluded that possible risks associated with the project are very slight. • The risk to groundwater supplies posed by exploratory drilling is so small as to make putting a number to it impossible. • The risk to human health from earthquake damage to gas production and storage systems is very slight (negligible by contrast to existing distribution system.) • The potential for explosion, or asphyxiation of people, in the area following a well blowout is negligible.

The new procedure allows the claim to be paid, but requires the motorist to pay an amount equal to ten times the difference between the cost of the coverage actually purchased and the cost of the coverage that should have been purchased. The minimum is $500 and the maximum is $10,000. An Autoplan premium is based in part on the type of vehicle use a motorist reports to an Autoplan broker when buying the insurance policy. Misrating often involves a deliberate attempt to avoid paying a higher premium, such as rating a vehicle for the less-expensive pleasure use only coverage when it is actually used to travel to and from work. Other misrating could involve any of the nearly 200 commercial rate classes where the difference in premiums can be in the thousands of dollars. For instance, the typical premium difference between the pleasure use only and to and from work coverages is $120. Misrating a vehicle to avoid paying this relatively small amount could have cost a motorist tens of thousands of dollars because any damage claims for the mis- rated vehicle would not have been paid, and all amounts paid to those injured in the accident would have been recovered from the motorist. The new program would require the motorist in this example to pay $1,200 and ICBC would handle the claim in the normal fashion. ICBC urges all motorists to check their Autoplan policies to ensure their vehicles are properly rated. Anyone needing assistance can consult any Autoplan broker or call ICBC at 681-2800 - (toll free, at 1-800-663-3051). Big project BURNABY - ABR Consultants, a consortium of three firms, has been retained by the Greater Vancouver Regional District to do the initial engineering design work for upgrading two sewage plants to secondary treatment. Total cost of upgrading the plants, Annacis Island and Lulu Island, including construction and engineering fees, could exceed $300- million, making it the largest ever GVRD construction project. The program is expected to take about five years to complete. On Friday, County Line school elementary children were visited by Ronald McDonald's Reading is Fun Show. The children laughed and clapped with glee at Ronald's antics that told of the fun of reading. He told jokes, and spoke tongue twisters, and read a story with a moral. He sung songs that advised one can read anywhere, even when using the phone but advised to never try reading when on a bike. He told us that, "readers are leaders and reading is fun for everyone, a joy that never ends." - Sylvia Langmann photo ANEW BRAIN FORESTRY Our five-year, $1.4 billion Forest Renewal Program, part of the government's new Taxpayer Protection Plan, opens a new era in forest management in British Columbia. The program adds $500 million in new money to the amount the government had previously committed for reforestation over the five- year period, 1991-1995. This includes $100 million allocated by B.C. to the new federal-provincial forest agreement. INTENSIVE SILVICULTURE Managing new forests to produce quality trees and a more diverse forest environment - intensive silviculture - is the new focus of the government's Forest Renewal Program. British Columbia will utilize forestry techniques similar to those used in Sweden, adapting them to the unique requirements of our province. Our program ensures that the remaining "not satisfactorily restocked" or NSR lands in B.C. will be reforested by the end of this decade. This will enable B.C. to redirect its energy and resources into spacing, fertilizing and pruning our second-growth forests. 1 NEW JOBS FOR BRITISH COLUMBIANS Changing the emphasis to intensive silviculture will pay off in new jobs in all regions of the province, particularly in rural areas where the forest industry is a primary employer. Over the next five years, our Forest Renewal Program is expected to generate thousands of jobs (64,500 persdri-years of employment). These jobs are crucial - they come at a time when markets are _______ down and forest workers are experiencing layoffs. _R0P ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY Our Forest Renewal Program will maintain the important balance between our environment and our economy. This new era of forestry practices and continuing research will create new permanent jobs in the forest industry and maintain our forests as the number one generator of wealth and economic stability in British Columbia.

Hydro's Power Smart energy efficient lighting program. The rebate recognized the converson of Otter's in store lighting from older mercury vapour fixtures to more efficient fluorescent lighting. The conversion Will save Otter nearly $11,000 annually through reduced electrical costs. This represents sufficient electrical energy to meet the needs of 25 B.C. homes, "The reduced operating costs and the Hydro rebate were our major reasons for becoming involved,'' according to 0"er general manager Allan Dickson. "An interesting sidelight is the many favourable comments from our customers about the new lighting. The improvement was so dramatic that, during a recent power failure while we were operating only on emergency lighting, some customers asked if we had gone back to the old lighting system." "Another plus was the installation of the new system with no .disruption to our customers." Rick linger, Hydro marketing representative for the Fraser Valley1 says that Otter Co-op is an outstanding supporter of several Power Smart programs. :: "Otter not only took part in pur energy efficient lighting program but is also an active promoter of Power Smart; refrigerators, how water tanks and compact fluorescent lamps." "The co-operative movement has a long history of involvement in energy conservation and Otter is certainly carrying on in that tradition;" said Unger. Otter is currently studying the feasibility of replacing the electric motors in its feed mill with more efficient models, taking advantage of the rebates available under PITT MEADOWS - This area will soon be linked to the Lower Mainland Air Quality Index reporting network. The new monitoring station, built by B.C. Environment and operated on contract by the GVRD, is the eighth in the Lower Mainland from which air quality information is reported daily to the general public. The Pitt Meadows station will begin full operations on Feb. 18. This addition to the network, along with the recent start-up of a station in Chilliwack and the pending construction of stations in Abbotsford and Langley, will ensure that residents will have access to the most recent air quality information no matter where they live in the Lower Mainland. It will also assist the network in providing a more accurate picture of the overall quality of the region's airshed.

Hydro currently has more than 25 individual Power Smart programs promoting. electrical efficiency in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Power Smart aims, by the year 2010 to be providing annual energy savings of 5,600 million kilowatt hours, enough power to meet the energy needs of 560,000 B.C. homes. VANCOUVER - B.C. Hydro's Power Smart energy conservation campaign has achieved a "remarkable" 88 percent total awareness among British Columbians, according to recently released survey results. Eric Williams, hydro marketing manager for the Lower Mainland region finds these figures immensely encouraging. "This high level of awareness among our customers shows that Power Smart is the right program for our time," said Williams. "Our marketing staff have worked very hard to get the message put, and these awareness figures demonstrate how receptive our customers are to that message. Everyone is concerned; about our environment and' t__ereis no question that energy conservation is viewed as a major environmental concern." Hydro chief research analyst Alan Burr says, "In my 15 years of conducting market research surveys I have seldom seen total awareness levels for campaigns getting into the 80s, so an 88 percent figure is really remarkable." "And, just as pleasing, is unprompted awareness. Where interviewees! weren't given the identifying words Power Smart at the start of questioning, it has risen to 40 percent." Burr, who managed market research for CP Air and Canadian Airlines before joining Hydro, said the Power Smart Night promotion, which asked British Columbians to switch off unnecessary lights on Nov. 14 was a major factor. "In July, .total awareness . was 71 percent and unprompted awareness was 11 percent. On Power Smart Night a survey showed total awareness at 76 percent."

Canadian children live in low income families. .-.•„, As the most complete source of information about the living conditions of women and children in Canada, it is vital that women understand the value of completing then- census questionnaire, providing complete information about their family group. It is from Census data that we know the number of children has declined to only 21 percent of the Canadian population. It is estimated that by 2001 children, will make up just 19 percent of Canadians. FOr women, information about how much income they have, how it is generated, and how it is contributing to the Well-being of their family, is of growing importance. Women make up 51 percent of the total population. However, data from the last Census shows that they earn only 35 percent of the country's, total income. The next census of population, on 'June 4th, 1991, will provide a new measurement of the progress of women in terms of pay equity, educational and career opportunities. It is, therefore, vital that Canadian women are aware of the Census and recognize the importance of census data as a basis for decision making about the .real issues which affect their daily lives and the lives of their children.

A first-year student who is deaf, Rowe also brings her sign language interpreter, Carolynn Crawford. Rowe is one of four hearing impaired students attending Fraser Valley College this year. Funds for interpreters are provided by the vocational rehabilitation services section of the Ministry of Advanced Education. "My goal is to become a psychologist because I want to help deaf people," says Rowe, communicating in American Sign Language with Crawford interpreting. "A lot of deaf people are frustrated trying to communicate with professionals who can't really understand the deaf.situation. Deaf people feel comfortable with me. They come to me already, as a friend who will listen to them." The Aldergrove mother of four appreciates the chance to test the waters at FVC. "I'm excited and amazed that the college offers disabled people the chance to have a career and be successful," she says. "Without the support they give lis and the help of an interpreter, I would be completely lost in the classroom. "Often in the past teachers have not been able to give me an extra five minutes," continues Rowe, reflection on her experiences in high school and a frustrating period at another college. "Witty an instructor who understands' and the interpreter's help you have flexibility, and can ask questions." Crawford attends classes with Rowe and interprets, trying to convey the main points of the lecture in ASL. It's a challenging process - converting words and details into hand-signed picture concepts '•• which is exacerbated by the specialized jargon used in academic disciplines. "If it's a word we're unfamiliar with, I'll finger-spell it," says; Crawford. "Then after class we'll sit down and brainstorm signs for the new words." Rowe also videotapes the interpreter during lectures, so that each of them can review the material if needed. Crawford makes sure Rowe knows about assignments and what to study, goes over new vocabulary with her, and helps her make sense of lectures, but when it comes to homework and assignments, she's on her own. Rowe is a bit shy, but makes a point of communicating with other students, and stresses that she doesn't want people to think she's a teacher's pet because of the extra attention she needs in order to understand. She enjoys the company of other deaf students, especially Joy Collins, who is in her English class. "Last semester we put on a skit about the experiences of deaf people, to help hearing people understand. That was really fun." The bigget challenge for Rowe is dealing with new vocabulary and concepts which don't translate easily into ASL, especially in psychology, her favourite subject. "It's a challenge, but I love that challenge," she says. "I want to emphasize that I feel happy and I enjoy what I'm doing here," adds Rowe. "I've met some really friendly people." Crawford is also enjoying the FVC experience. She received her training at Vancouver Community College in the '70s but only started working as an interpreter recently, after staying home with her children for several years., She started working with elementary and high school students in Langley, and soon moved up,. the educational ladder, interpreting for students at Douglas College before moving to the Fraser Valley. "I find interpreting at this level a real challenge," says Crawford. "I haven't had the chance to do a lot of post- secondary courses myself, so I'm learning as I go along in a non-pressure way since I don't have to do the tests or assignments." Crawford does study the course texts, but from the perspective of how to guide her clients through the material. The most frustrating part of her job is "long lectures without breaks. My hands and trapezius muscles get tired from signing. It's also frustrating when people speak in jargon and expect everyone to understand, but that's a problem all students have." She enjoys "being with people — my students, the other students, and instructors. It's also good to be part of a system that supports the disabled. I'm happy to see such progression in this area." Fraser Valley College has a long tradition of helping disabled students. The Adult Special Education department provides support and special programs. College transition worker Jackie Phare arranges for interpreters, acts as a facilitator between students and the college, and provides moral support. "We try to respond to the needs of all disabled people," says Garnet Brown, coordinator. "The deaf are a special category because they need an interpreter, and there is a shortage of interpreters in the Valley, but we're doing our best to accommodate them."

Charles Bailey, district administrator for the . CNIB, presented the award at a ceremony on Feb. 7 at the Fraser-Thompson-Nicola district office. The certificate recognizes individuals and organizations which have made a special contribution to the well-being of blind and visually impaired Canadians. "The goal of the week is awareness," says Bailey. "We're promoting awareness of blindness and blind people, of the problems and potential of problems these people face." The Fraser-Thompson- Nicola district of the CNIB, which includes the Aldergrove area, works with 974 legally blind and visually impaired clients. The Langley College of Trade and Commerce received the certificate for their adaptive computer training centre which , serves the specialized needs of visually impaired as well as physically disabled and hearing impaired students.

Wage restraint "unnecessary, hypocritical" BURNABY - BCGEU President John Shields says Premier Vander Zalm's televised speech to the province makes it clear that his government does not represent working people and their families. Responding to the premier's scheme to restrain public sector wages, Shields accused the premier of hypocrisy for rewarding his friends and a wealthy few, and penalizing working people. The union president says it's bizarre that at the same time as the premier announces wage restraints he admits that the last round of government restraint caused problems and that recent settlements have been fair. - According to the union, the gap in private and public sector wage settlements is less than one percent which, Shields says, is no reason for heavy-handed restraint. Shields adds that the premier has poured salt in the wound by giving his own top aides increases of up to 20 percent. And the union leader questions the premier's sincerity when he talks about the taxpayers' ability to pay coming on the heels of the premier's deal with the doctors of a multi-million dollar pension plan that will be wholly paid for by the taxpayers.

'• The recent (GVRD ."Creating Our Future" program does not recognize Langley as a regional town centre although councils of the city and town ship both requested this status. Metrotown, New Westminster, Richmond, Coquitlam and Lonsdale were recognized as regional town cejutresv.,'' v,; , Th6 { Langley area already serves as a significant Commercial centre in the I_ow.r. .Mainland. A study completed for the township by Corioli- Consulting states that Langley "serves similar functions and is of comparable size -and character to the region's other town centres". The Coriolis study found that Langley is the fourth largest suburban town centre in terms of total commercial floor space. With 2.7-million sq. ft. of commercial retail and office space, it is larger than Lonsdale, Coquitlam, and New Westminster. Langley and Metrotown have an equal amount of retail floorspace, 2.1-million sq. ft. more than any other suburban centre except Whalley - Guildford. The study -will identify how downtown Langley and the Willowbrook area pf the township could be developed into a more cohesive centre. Langley benefits from project BVURNABY - Two major water construction projects, in Coquitlam and Burnaby, will be carried out this spring following approval, of the funds by the GVRD. board of directors. ■'■_• In Coquitlam approximately 1,000 metres of -l'.Bi metre pipe will be installed between Crabbe Avenue and Dewdney Trunk Road, most of it along Westwood. It is the fourth stage in a project to deliver water from the Coquitlam Dam to meet increasing demands in Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and parts of Surrey, New Westminster, Langley City and Langley Township. Cost, of the work is estimated at $3.5-miilion.

Heritage Society. K|hr<.r, the author of "Taking A Chpnce" quickly captivated' the audience as she launched into her discussion of the techniques she employed to■'•': prod1_ce a written history of; the> Campbell Valley. She explained the book has two parts; part One being archival research and the second part was based on interviews of arfea residents. Tj*> In doing the oral histories Gabrielle <noted she felt it best to -always make at least one contact prior to" an. actual interview. The content of her previous work focused on how the land was1 cleared, what crops were planted and what social activities there were. The use of maps was also signficant in helping to orientate those readers who are newcomers to the area. Kahrer explained the research would take at least eight months and with printing the cost: <.ou.c.. be;,as' high, as twenty t__6u___.__ dt*.'*: dollars. Matching funds up to eight thousand dollars are available from B.C. Heritage Trust. A quick calculation by this writer puts the I level of community fundraising at approximately one dollar per person, well within our reach and quite reasonable I believe. President Norm Flowerdew thanked Kahrer for a most informative presentation and after a resounding round of [ applause the meeting broke for refreshments. Opening introductions for the general meeting revealed some most welcomed new members and visitors. Representing the newly appointed heritage advisory committee for Abbotsford-Matsqui was Bertha Farenholtz. Farenholtz was a teacher in the area before her retirement. Representing the Langley Centennial Museum was Warren Sommers. Many thanks to Warren for filling in for our wayward guest of honour. Warren will also be returning in April as our guest speaker. A warm welcome also to Ada Shillinglaw of the B.C. Farm Machinery And Agricultural Museum. Ada invites everyone to come in for a visit and to experience your past. Finally but not least was Aldergrove's own Gerald Cuthbert. Gerald was recently appointed by council to the official spokesperson for Aldergrove. Secretary-Treasurer June Willson reports a delegation of members have met with Langley council and a meeting with Miatsqui council has been set for Feb. IS. A static display of heritage will be set up at. the Aldergrove Center Mall to celebrate Heritage Week starting -Feb. 18, the hours will be as follows: Mon.-Fri.. 1:00-3:00 and Sat. 9:00-4:00; On Sunday the Heritage Society will wrap up the week's events by hosting a social from 1:00-4:00 at the Aldergiove Veterans Drop In Center,, 27247A Fraser Hwy.

It's going to be a bumpy night". How does one manage their money safely and smartly in a Recession? Are plain-vanilla investments going to do the trick in protecting your money from slipping interest rates, high government debt, G.S.T. and inflation and income taxation? Can your money be both safe and smart at the, same time?

Five rules for safe money investing} in turbulent times are: '.••■•• RULE 1: Stick to high quality investments, - "Quality" in this market is vital to surviving recessions. In short, a high-quality: investment is one that has the ability and temperament to survive the harshest economic winter and even thrive in these conditions. These quality investments include T-bills, some G.I.C.'s, government and corporate bonds, real estate, mutual funds and certain .-'stocks. RULE 2: Balance your investments. - Economic uncertainty is a tightrope that requires you to maintain your balance at all times. The best way to insure a stable and balanced investment portfolio is to insist that your investments are appropriately ; selected to offset the weaknesses of different securities. For example, we know that a G.I.C. or C.S.B. can never offer a capital gain on your invested capital. That is don't look for a fully "guaranteed" investment to produce a ■single penny of capital growth. It just won't happen. However, expecting a tax- preferred capital gain on your invested capital is very possible from a government bond or corporate stock. This can often be in addition to the interest income or dividend paid.

No get rich quick scheme here. Smart investors; decide how to place chunks of their money into differing securities such as stocks, dividends, real estate and interest-earning instruments. They look for investments with differing temperaments, varying characteristics, and then they make sure not to over-react to current market conditions. RULE 4: Buy or sell gradually. "• Investors who quickly and impulsively make major changes in their investments almost always end up worse off than if they had made them gradually and thoughtfully. Whether you are redeploying your portfolio to achieve better balance and diversification (spreading eggs into several baskets), fine tuning your investment categories (chunks), or deciding how to invest a recent windfall; do so gradually and thoughtfully. For example, say you would like to lighten up on yur holdings in interest rate securities, don't commit all your resources to the new investment at once. The opposite is also true. If you are planning to reduce your stock or bond portfolio, do so with apian! ... sell gradually, perhaps over a period of months. One of the best ways to add to your investments gradually is to use Dollar Cost Averaging ■ a specific amount ot money over specific and regular intervals, say, each month. The trick is to stick with your schedule, regardless of whether stock or bond prices go up or down. This system works great with mutual funds. Because you are investing a fixed amoung of money at fixed intervals, your average purchase price is lower: you endup with more shares! You can't beat, that, as you are eliminating the guesswork of when to buy. RULE 5: Diversify. - Within each investment group in your portfolio, the individual investments should be spread out. Stocks (blue-chip, small cap), bonds (government, corporate ■:• short, mid, long term), interest earning (G.I.C.'s, T-bills, money markets,' annuities, G.S.B. 's), real estate (income-producing, commercial), precious metals, mutual funds (most of the above securities), investment grade art, gems (be careful) and collectibles (antiques, etc.) Diversification protects us from many mistakes that we learn not to make with our investments. These five rules will make us much happier investors. The goal is to sleep well and eat well, particularly in recessionary times.

It's a ducky day, mate view of Jerusalem from outer space By SYLVIA LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Geoffrey Tomiins specializes in satellite image processing both as a science, and as an art. He moved to Canada to take up a position as a research scientist for the federal government. He is a consulting scientist, and has-, established his own company, BiCorp. "Jerusalem from -Space'.. .a, ;T0rnjin- vfj .st masterpiece, and the beginning ot a Jiimted ,\ series of special images' of the great <;ities of the world:. • >.: Toinlins recognized the visual art recorded in the image data, and in October 1988, he formed Binary Image Corporation. Jerusalem from Space, now in print, is a creation involving "remote sensing" satellites from the USA and France and two years of dediated image processing. A unique digitally-processed . image consisting of fifty four million dots, everyone a different colour to the dot next to it. Each dot could be colored from a palette of 16 million colors. A paint by number system using the color . from Landsat, the American satellite and the newer satellite, French Spot. The "digital artist" has blended and balanced this tapestry of light, enhancing color and texture to create a stunning view rich in detail and beauty into a vibrant map revealing texture and stuct- ure. The satellites see earth different- than the human eye. Their sensors detect light of many contrasting wavelengths including invisible infrared. As they pass over Jerusalem, the spacecraft record millions of tiny fragments of light which they beam back to earths •■'" >■:■ ;'.■.".'■ . ■ ■v. t] . ,,.r\«..'. v ;■-.'. .'

Landmarks are clearly visible on the full-sized image, such as the city Jerusalem, and the old Jerusalem Wall. Involved in the production of the , print,__Tpmlins had to purchase*1 a licence from, a . major corporation for use of the copyright for one time use only, and the two computer tapes of the satellite data, cost $5,000 each. Plus a year at the computer, which in the beginning resulted in stripping but the pollution,haze by using mathematical formula.

Teach-' ers' Federation president Ken Novakowski expressed grave concern about the Ministry of Education's announcement of an increase in 3.75% in the block funding for school districts. -'With inflation running at 5.5% this is an actual decrease in money available to school boards to provide quality education. It's obvious from this move that the government has abandoned its commitment to the Royal Commission on Education and the directions it established for public education," Nova- kowski said. "The commission called for "funding systems that could lehd greater stability' and predictability to , the school System,'' and continued, "The WOODWRIGHT MFG. LTD. ,..•'■■" OAK ISl FURNITURE Custom Orders Factory To You • -12.- 31550 South Fraser Way, Clearbrook — 854-1621 education system' 'cannot' absorb ... ups and. downs in the .same way as other segments of the economy because the public expects standards of service . to ;be maintained at a reasonable level. Education is a > long- term investment that should not : be subject to violent fluctuations in funding." Novakowski said that when the government introduced block funding a year ago. there was an understanding that .any reduction in funding would result from a reduced expectation of what the school system would do. "There has been no indication of reduced expectations," he said. "Quite the contrary. The public and government expectations for educational improvement are significant. Where are the resources to back them up?" The Royal Commission also recommended that "the provincial government not Use the -:. fiscal framework ■ to counteract bargaining outcomes." ' NovakoWski' said "There is a clear link between government education funding and its ^proposed Wage restraint program. The commissioner of the wage restraint program even went so far as to say that class size -- a 'cornerstone; of quality education - is a labour, cost. Anyone who fails to recognize the improvement to learning conditions brought about by reduced class size knows little about education." Novakowski said not just teachers, but all citizens who care ; about the quality of public education will be concerned about the impact of the government's restraint announcement on B.C.'s ability to attract and: retain qualified teachers during, a period of a national teacher shortage. "We currently compete with Ontario to attract qualified teachers, and B.C.'s teacher salaries have fallen dramatically behind those in Ontario. The Royal Commission called for strategies, to enhance the status of the teaching profession to address these concerns. The government is doing the opposite." Wage controls, and budget resrictions re-introduce die. elements of instability and confusion that were so damaging to education in the '80s, and were decried by the Royal Commission when it called for an end to "school wars" in B.C. .:.^;:.-;v;..:;:':::....^...-...:v.....> The friendly mariagem^ Asper.
