Socreds lose Zalm VICTORIA - The Socred Johnston as interim leader of Former premier Bill Vander caucus appointed former the party and province, Zalm resigned earlier in the highways minister Rita Tuesday. day, after inquiry commission er Ted Hughes released a long-awaited report into Vander Zalm's business dealings. The report's conclusions were not at all favorable, concluding that his interests in Fantasy Gardens were in conflict with the terms of his public office. Vander Zalm, whose government drew up the conflict of interest guidelines, appeared visibly shaken as he announced his immediate retirement from office. In his conclusions, Hughes determined that, "The Premier played the primary and dominant role in the 1990 sale of Fantasy Gardens," and that, "By the Premier's participation in the events that led to the sale of Fantasy Gardens and the sale itself, the Premier was in breach of his Conflict of Interest Guidelines." Hughes cited Vander Zalm's dealings with Taiwanese investor Tan Yu, realtor Faye Leung and Petro Canada C.E.D. William Hopper, as responsible for the conflict. "During the course of my examination of the Premier and others, two points became obvious to me," said Hughes' report. "The first was that the Premier was not prepared to take advice from those respected and highly skilled political advisors whose job it was to steer the Premier clear of political minefields. "Perhaps more fundamentally, the Premier's problem stems not just from his inability to draw a line between his private and public life but in his apparently sincere belief that no conflict existed so long as the public wasn't aware of what was going on," said Hughes.

Cat! .S.-8-0. or _5t-5212 Friends victims of media persecution By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Friends of the Fraser Valley spokesperson Margaret Ormston says she has been misinterpreted by late provincial energy minister Jack Davis. Unfortunately, Davis passed away in his sleep, age 74, on March 27, and is no longer availble for comment. Davis, a thirty year veteran of federal and provincial politics, had suffered from cancer in recent years. Davis had rejected a suggestion put forward by the Friends that mining of petroleum resources be banned under the Municipal Act, as it Wpuld entirely prohibit such mining throughout the province. Ormston said the suggestion was recently amended so that it would '.nly be ^banned' within municipal boundaries. Langley township recently adopted the suggestion, to be put forward as a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities' next meeting. Ormston said the amendment was made because the Friends realized that their Initial draft was too prohibitive. "We're not legal experts," said Ormston. She said the reasoning for their differentiation between rules for municipalities and unorganized areas was the size of population. The Municipal Act is the provincial legislation for all areas, whether organized municipalities or not. Ormston also accuses The Star of "miserable bias" on the gas issue (see Letters to the Editor). The Star's publishers deny any bias whatsoever, and point out that The Star has published everything relating to the issue for a good many years longer than any other publication. Any opinions published have belonged to other persons, as The Star, as such, has no opinion - for one, The Star's staff all have diverging opinions on the issue. The Star is a newspaper, not a person, but the publishers note that there seems to be a trend in B.C. for people to blame the media for their, problems. The Star will continue to publish the facts and will welcome submissions . of opinions . for publication, as ever. However, if you don't like what you read, you should take it up with The. Star or the writer in the form of a letter or other reasoned response. All of our readers have biases, and we enjoy printing all of them. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ '*'-'V Economics and ecology must come together TORONTO - "Economics and ecology come together when you start talking about what we can and can't afford as a society/ CN president Ron Lawless told Canadian Industrial Transportation League members at their recent convention.

"If Canada is to be a truly competitive trading nation, then its policy makers must be made accountable for ensuring that public money spent on transportation is spent in the most efficient manner possible," said Lawless. He said Canada's railways could save billions of dollars in public investment, not to mention unclogging Canada's overloaded roads. Besides using ample surplus railway capacity, trains sip a third of the fuel of the most efficient truck, so it would also save non-renewable fuel, and dramatically cut air pollution. Lawless noted that the most H profound economic trend of .the 'nineties is capital scarcity, this is especially pronounced in the public sector, where merit- worthy programs must compete for ever-scarcer tax dollars, he said.

Thoughts on VanderZalm By LARA BRODIE Well, he has decided to step down as soon as a replacement can be found. Bill Vander Zalm will soon no longer be our premier. What is your reaction to this?

Kate Croft: (with her grandchild) Very disappointed, I wish he was still there, I wish he was still going to be in power.

Maria Mantler: •> I think he, should stay up there because he's been theref for so long and everybody knows about him. He's done good. Elizabeth Isbister: He's done good. By KURT LANGMANN VICTORIA - The Ted Hughes report on conflict of interest in Premier Vander Zalm's business dealings was released on Tuesday, and while it has made damaging findings public, it has been somewhat of an anticlimax. Vander Zalm made a statement, Good Friday, that called for a leadership convention, and said he would stay on as premier until his successor was elected by the Social Credit party. Whether Jean Potter: Better, for everybody. Sharyn Olsson: Well, I was very disappointed actually but I feel that he had no choice but to step down at this time. . Myself? I never could quite see what the fuss was all about to begin with. These dramatically tearful resignations, the determined, pestering by the press and people making up their minds about the man without even beginning to understand what everything was all about. For example, in conversation, one. person said something about being glad that Vander Zalm was stepping down and when asked why, the reply was, "Oh, well, I don't know, I just don't like Social Credit." Go figure. And I'll never quite understand this business with the taped telephone conversations, does no one have any rights anymore? Playing them on tv? Isn't it illegal to tape a conversation witliout the "petrtf|jrsion of the other 'pers-ihPL I'm, baffled and disgusted.' I really feel sorry for Vander Zalm. Anyone being bullied to such an extent, to keep their sanity, would pretty much have no choice but to just walk away. or not the party can agreed on , a new leader and revive its: flagging popularity in time for an election that must be called this year, is an^open question. Judging by past performance of the party in whole, it seems at best a remote possibility. The Socreds have had. so many leaders 6f differing factions over the past couple : of years, that the chances of them uniting under one leader seem an impossibility. Many of the MLA's and cabinet ministers have been just as guilty of shooting themselves in the foot as the Zalm has been. Will Socreds outside of Vancouver support Grace McCarthy or John Reynolds! Not likely. Will Socreds in the urban areas support Claude Richmond or Rita Johnston? Not. this year. The one advantage that the Socreds now. enjoy -and which the NDP regrets - is that - the election will no longer be a referendum on Fantasy Gardens. But the continuing interest in the Zalm sparked by the Hughes report also means that Mike Harcourt could expose himself at high noon in downtcnvh Vancouver, and the Zalm would still be the one on the front pages of the dailies and the lead story on network news. Harcourt, like Ontario's NDP leader, Bob Roe, is destined to win not because of his strengths but rather because of his opposition's shortcomings.

This recession was created by the Goods and Services Tax, according to financial experts.

By LARA BRODIE ALDERGROVE - After spending one month in Canada, 17 Japanese college students, from 10 different colleges, left for home, March 28 at 4:30 in the morning but not before they could present their host families with a Sayonara; a goodbye party. Held on March 26 at the Community Center, the host families gathered together to enjoy songs, games and a Japanese buffet, which was planned, made and served up by the students dressed in their traditional clothing. "They planned this whole evening." Sandra Beulens, teacher co-ordinator for the Cultural Homestay Institute, informed. "I didn't even have to be here today except occasionally to provide the right word for a speech or something." While in Canada, the students put on a fashion show, had a demonstration on Ukrainian Easter egg decorating, visited Gastown, TWU, Fort Langley, Lonsdale Quay, Stanley Park and the aquarium. Some even tried skiing for the first time or had a chance to sample the cuisine out at the Harbour Tower revolving restaurant. As to how the students enjoyed Canada... "Canadian people are very friendly and kind to us so we enjoy very much."..."I'm really glad to share the time with ray host family and maybe, I think, my English is better than before. "..."Canada is very large, so I think it is very interesting. All Canada is kind for us, I like Canada." When asked if they would ever like to come back to visit again, there was no question about it. One girl answered, "Yes, of course!" On March 26, many tears were shed and camera flashes Admiral ELECTRIC DRYER popped everywhere you, looked. It was a grand culmination of an exciting learning experience for both the students and host families.

SERVICE, THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 4. 1991 Speak plain English, please By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - What's in a name? A good deal, according to some of our readers. Semantics (according to our dictionary, "that branch of linguistics which deals with meaning ... especially of the changes in the meanings of words and word-groups") is not a new game, by any means. Last week, several of our readers took exception to the use of the word "euthanasia" in a front page headline regarding a proposed resolution by MP Bob Wenman, that would allow health professionals to withdraw life-sustaining treatment from those who were terminally ill and in suffering. Readers, including one from Wenman's office, objected to the term, because they had a different definition for euthanasia, and they felt that Wenman's resolution did not fall into that category. The Star is not debating the merits of Wenman's proposition, other than noting that there are a full range of opinions on it in this community. However, the word euthanasia is quite correct, as its definition still is "painless, peaceful death", whether it be induced or simply allowed to take place by withdrawal of medical services. Perhaps The Star is behind the times in this instance, but "mercy killing" does come in a wide range of forms. We prefer to keep language simple so it is well understood by our readers, just as B.C.'s courts have recently simplified their language for better understanding by the public. We dread the day when lawyers must be retained to write our headlines, so that it fits some bureaucratic definition of legality. It reminds me of an old friend at high school who was called Gay - that was her name as in proper noun, and back in the days when its use as an adjective meant "merry" or "mirthful". That word has been appropriated for other uses today, and I don't believe too many parents put the moniker on their children's birth certificates these days. Its definition has been modified, but I don't believe it has improved our language. Certainly, not all the homosexuals we've encountered have proven to be merry and mirthful. The abortion battle in our courts has also reduced indlvidiual worth to deeply contentious legalisms that we should abhor. If the majority approves of abortion, that's the way It is, but don't insult my intelligence by arguing that a fetus does not become a person until it has been removed; from the uterus, alive. I'm open to argument . over abortion, but I consider a fetus a person as a fact of life, beyond any argument. Its definition is "the young in the womb...unborn offspring," and I have deepseated wariness of those who would change our language to fit their political agenda, no matter what their aim. Language revisionism has the potential to be every bit as dangerous as historical revisionism. As for euthanasia, one of our readers, a former Saskatchewan Liberal MP, said he fears the consequences should Wenman's proposed legislation be followed through by the Commons. "Who knows where we'll end up if we start down that road?" he asked, and he also suggested that if he were younger he'd be able to beat Wenman at the polls on that issue alone. Other readers called to say that they supported Wenman's proposal and did not consider it a form of euthanasia, but rather allowing nature or God to take its/ His course. No doubt, there are other readers who would like to see euthanasia practiced on a "miserable" neighbor or competitor. That's for the public to discuss and debate, and that's what democracy is all about. All I ask is that we don't hide our intentions behind "prettier language."

It not only keeps a great number of our local youths very active in a very demanding sport, it also provides a place for them to learn responsibility and self- confidence. Abilities that will benefit them for years to come. Another major benefit to the local business community is the fact that the members of pur motocross club spend in excess of $l-million per year in support of this sport. Much of this money is spent locally. As a parent of an eight-year- old motocrosser, 1 would sincerely hope that council would rethink their position on this matter and perhaps even look at assisting the local club to make Ait insult Editor, The Star, Sir, A year and a half ago 250 local residents signed a petition against the motocross.

The resolution now reads: Whereas municipalities have little or no control over subsurface mining, petroleum exploration, and production- or natural gas underground storage within their boundaries; and whereas subsurface mining, petroleum and gas exploration or underground storage can create difficulties, hardships, inconveniences and dangers to residents in the vicinity of such activities; now therefore be it resolved that the Union of British Columbia Municipalities petition the provincial government to amend the "Municipal Act'' to supersede modified any other provincial legislation to the contrary to grant all municipalities the right to enact bylaws to control and limit sub-surface mining, petroleum exploration and production, natural gas exploration and production or underground. storage of natural gas within any organized district created by the "Municipal Act". The printing of the minister's outdated comments on a matter at this stage has very little to do with him, is typical of the miserable bias of your paper, as are your constant sheers at residents whose only intention is the preservation of the very small proportion of this province which is highly productive agricultural land and very desirable residential property.

Saywell, president and vice-chancelor of Simon Fraser University. Dear Dr. Saywell, I am writing to you at this time to reinforce the concerns I expressed to you during the evening of February 28,1991. As the feature speaker at the inaugural meeting of the Fraser Valley University Society, you strongly supported the need for another permanent university. I had the opportunity to discuss with you several issues which are of particular interest to me personally. To my alarm, you confirmed that the possibility exists that there may be curtailments of the off-campus courses being conducted by SFU in the Langley area. While your speech showed sensitivity to the changing needs of university students as they will evolve in the future, I feel that it is necessary for me to reiterate the needs of Fraser Valley students as they exist currently.

LMH meets publicly LANGLEY...- The first publip meeting of the Langley Memorial Hospital board will be held/April 9, 7.30 to 11 p.m., at Langley Conference Centre. All residents are welcome to attend. the demands of job and family in co-ordination with class requirements, cut-backs at the Langley campus could well prove devastating. As you are well aware, the Fraser Valley provides the vast majority of the affordable housing in the lower mainland.. This dictates that many mature students will live in this region with little option to move closer to existing campuses. When this fact is combined with the tight time restrictions imposed by family and occupational obligations, it becomes clear that attendance at the SFU Burnaby campus is not feasible for many students. The enrollment figures for the SFU courses in Langley substantiate the clear requirement that the Langley campus continue to function and in fact expand. The proposition that access to education be equal to all is fundamental to the Canadian system. The regionalization of educational opportunity which would result from, the possible closure of the Langley campus, would be highly prejudicial towards Fraser Valley students. For many, a closure would result in financial hardships (reduced time availability for employment, travelling, time, gas, parking) and lengthening time spans required to complete their programs. With the rapid disappearance of many occupations traditionally accessible to people without higher learning, the need of post secondary education increases proportionately. While it is comforting to observe your support for the concept of a third institution in the future, I strongly urge that SFU not turn its back on the Fraser Valley students who presently support you at the Langley campus. It is my sincere hope as a student, that I will not have to wait for the construction of a third university before completing my degree. With the logistical impossibilities, combined with the intense competition for • entrance to existing classes at the Burnaby campus, it is quite possible that I would have to forego my ambition- to obtain a university degree. I sincerely hope, that before any cutbacks are undertaken at the Langley campus, that the ramifications to Fraser Valley students be weighed carefully against any-perceived financial savings to SFU.

Major upset in Delta pace final CLOVERDALE - Game Mary Dale, one of the longest prices on the board, proved narrowly best in capturing Saturday's $31,000 Delta Pace at Cloverdale Raceway. Driven by Dave Jungquist, Game Mary Dale was up in the final few feet to best the pacesetter and favorite Abbem and Rene Goulet. Hee With Mary driven by Paul Megens finished third. Game Mary Dale was fourth on the rail for most of the race and seemed destined to be stuck there as she had horses on her outside. However as the field turned for home a small hole appeared and Jungquist shot his horse through the opening and was able to collar Abbem. Time for the.mile was 2:02 over the fast track and established a new life mark for the three year old filly. An Ohio bred, Game Mary Dale has the credentials to be a good one as her two full brothers) 'Tiger Pilot and Tru Blu Pilot are also stakes winners at Cloverdale Raceway. All three horses were bought by Surrey resident Allan Young. The $15,500 winner's share of the purse increased Game Mary Dale's earnings to $17,712 from six starts.

Aldergrove Hawks, who finished sixth overall out of 12 teams, began the series with a convincing 5-0 win oyer Surrey United on March 24 ___.it Steele Park, on Jeff Rings t\vo goals supplemented by markers by Dennis Chong; Rob Alexander and Jason Nesci. That win took them into the quarter finals played at the Newton Athletic Park on Friday, March 29, against the winners of the West Division, Peace Arch. Post office slammed MURRAYVILLE - Canada Post shouldn't be allowed to put up its 'super mail' boxes just anywhere, township councilors here say. "We should make Canada Post buy a piece of property and apply to have it rezoned for commercial use, because that is basically what it is," Aid. John Scholtens said Monday night. Councilors had again received a couple of letters from local residents unhappy with the boxes going up in their neighborhood. They referred the matter to staff for a report. As expected, this was a hard fought; end to end battle, which first tipped towards Peace Arch when John Young, coughed up the ball on the edge of his penalty area and a lobbed ball floated, over Keeper Mike Dougherty's head. Down one at half time, the Hawks rolled up their sleeves and began to carry -the game. Finally their effort ; was rewarded on what was ; dubbed V1'The goal of the day" by many observers, all four quarter final games were being played at the same • venue simultaneously. Jeff Ring was sprung on the right; he went down to the goalhne and put a hard low cross back across of the face of goal that was met by a speeding Chris Miller who drove it and himself right into the net. Overtime provided no more tallies and they went into the "Lottery" of Penalty Kicks. The Hawks won the toss and shot first, with Mike Moraal firing a cannonball past the Peace Arch keeper. With the pressure firmly on them, Peace Arch missed their first attempt. Then with successful strikes from Rob Alexander, Brendan Connolly and Chris Miller, coupled with another miss by Peace Arch, the Hawks moved on to the semi's, March 31 at the same venue.

EXTRAVAGANZA #f- SHOWS ALL DAY! ALDER INN Fraser Hwy. at 272 Street BEER & WINE STORE OPEN DAILY 11am-11 pm Landscaping with Azaleas is an ideal project for parents and children because the spring flowering shrubs are so easy to plant. From choosing between their innumerable colors and sizes to planting and caring for them, growing Azaleas can be a family affair in which children help - their parents beautify the garden. Planning the Landscape: A Job for Mom and Dad The diversity of Azaleas makes them suitable for almost every landscaping plan. For instance, dwarf varieties grow less than one foot tali and work well as a low- growing groundcover or in the nooks and crannies of a rock garden; larger types provide screening or hedging. Combine year-round beauty with the sweet scents of summer by planting the .eternally leafy evergreen Azaleas with the deciduous Mollis variety, which tends to be very fragrant when in bloom. Given the endless array of colors for the funnel-shaped flowers. Azaleas can harmonize with surrounding plants, or function as dramatic accents. Although the typical palette is cool creams, whites, pinks, lavenders, violets, crimsons, and deep reds, some hybrids bloom in unusual hot yellow and orange. There are also early-, mid- and late- season blooming hybrids, so planting a mix of species will provide a garden filled with flowers all season long. When determining the planting site, keep in mind that these shrubs should be protected from midday heat. So, do not plant them on the south or west side of the house unless the area is partially shaded. A canopy of trees also provides a nice setting for these woodland plants. Family Planting: A Project for Parent and Child Planting Azaleas is child's play. Mix and match them in the landscape because all types like the same growing conditions. These acid-loving shrubs desire soil rich in organic matter, with good drainage, plenty of moisture, and a loose texture which 1 allows attr circulation and root growth. - Such soil is easy to create. On a larp, let the child blend together three parts top soil, two parts Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss, and one part garden sand or two- thirds garden soil and one-third Canadian Peat. Canadian Peat is the perfect soil amendment for Azaleas because it has a predictable pH level of 3.4 to 4.8, giving the shrubs the acidity they need to thrive. What _as much fir. as playing h the dirt but far more beneficial? Conditioning the soil with Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss to ensure that the Azaleas will bring a lifetime of colorful blossoms and deep emerald leaves. and it can retain up to 20 times its weight in water and oxygen. Digging holes for these shallow-rooted plants is not a tiresome task either because the cavities should not be deeper than the rootballsare high. If the rootball is planted below ground level, the shrub will provide leaves but not flowers. Make the hole twice as wide as it is deep and gently break the earth around the rootball so roots can stretch out and grow. Once the shrub is sitting straight in the hole, with the top of the rootball level to the ground, backfill with the amended soil and tamp firm. This is an ideal task for a chik). small feet. Have the child stomp around and around the plant to form a receptacle for moisture at its base. Then water thoroughly with a hose tp eliminate air pockets. Apply a mulch to reduce moisture toss and weeds. Mulch also acts as an insulator for summer heat and winter frosts. To keep the acidity level high, make a mulch of one part pine needles or compost and one part Canadian Sphagnum Peat, Let the child mix together the ingredients and spread them evenly around the plants. Caring for the Shrubs: A Task for Each Family Member Children can be put in charge of certain aspects of the care and.feeding of the new additions to the landscape, others ' are better handled by parents. A child should water the plants regularly and thoroughly to encourage the formation of a healthy root system. Watering is especially important when the shrub is flowering and during the first year after it has been planted. Azaleas produce more blooms when faded flowers are removed before they set to seed. This process, called "deadheading," also stimulates new growth on young, plants and can be done by young hands by simply pulling off the browning blossoms.. After blooming, mom or dad should give the shrubs a light shot of acid fertilizer. to insure plenty of color the next year Aside from an occasional application of fertilizer and a new layer of mulch in the fall, nothing more need be done to keep the Azaleas a family treasure of jewel-like blossoms and deep emerald leaves. It's a bird's life By FRANK KRENN "It is said a bird in hand is worth more than 2 birds in the bush." But a bird in an eight inch stove pipe leading up from large wood-burning stove is something else again. You have a large wood- burning stove. You have a fluttering noise inside the large stove pipe. What is it? It is a bird, that has inadvertantly fallen into the stove pipe. The bird trios desperately to get out of its prison! What do you do? First of all you open all available windows in your home. Then you open widely the wood stove door, followed by opening the damper on the wood stove pipe as wide as possible. To your delight and surprise, out comes the Bird and like a flash it disappears through the first available open window. Another bird's life has been saved and all concerned are happy. One more good deed accomplished, one more bird has been freed to sing again! Mediation service at LFS LANGLEY . Family Services' new mediation service is in full swing now and is being taken advantage of by local residents with good results. As well, Tom Kalpatoo, coordinator of the service, is now training two more mediators and an assessment and intake worker. By July they will be able to offer many more mediations per week. This service enables people to arrive at a settlement more quickly and more cheaply than would be the case normally. They don't handle criminal cases and unless the participants engage lawyers, their mediated settlements can't be upheld legally. However, for most disputes, this service can settle differences more effectively than any other options open to them. Because of Us non-profit philosophy, Langley Family Services offers the service for less and yet with the same high standard it holds for all of its services. For further information or to set up an appointment, call Langley Family Services at 534-7921 and ask for Tom Kalpatoo or Paulette Beattie. mmmm mmBaam S THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 4, 1991 MOVIE REVIEW Pass up "Opportunity 11 » FINISHING TOUCHES Robin Lukaniuk of Abbotsford Fashion Design and Graphic and her classmates are busy Design Open House at Fraser putting the finishing touches Valley College on Saturday, on their work that will be April 13. displayed at the Fine Arts, players want your company By PAT PROZESKY ALDERGROVE - Only seven tables were filled at the Aldergrove Choral Group's Whist party last Thursday evening but despite the small number, it Was a real good social evening, enjoyed by all.

Subsequently, Dr. Brink took the problem to Dr. Violet Eagles, who in turn took up the challenge and donated the necessary funds in memory of her late husband Dr. Blythe Eagles. Dr. Eagles, a charter member of the B.C. Farm Machinery and Agriculture Museum was Dean Emeritus, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of British Columbia. The only request Mrs. Eagles made was that she be allowed to cut the ribbon for the official opening, however due to sudden illness she was unable to attend. I'm certain everyone will join with me in wishing her a speedy recovery, and a heartfelt thank you. The Eagles exemplify the very soul of our many fine community organizations, It's called commitment and we of the Alder Grove Heritage Society are committed to work more closely with our counterparts in the B.C. Farm Machinery and Agriculture Museum and the Langley Centennial Museum. During my tour of the many, many exhibits, I availed myself of the opportunity to speak with many of the directors. The concensus is there is a real opportunity to network and enhance our impact on community affairs. With a greater voice now we can enrich our legacy to future generations. SOMMER TO SPEAK In conversation with curator, Ada Shillinglaw I tried to cull some background information on next month's guest speaker Warren Sommer. As luck would have it, Sommer is in the Arctic, whale watching. Shillinglaw wasn't exactly a wealth of information on the curator of Langley Centennial Museum. She recalls over five years ago when she first met Sommer she felt he was quite reserved, however, over time as their working relationship developed he admitted this to be a carry over from childhood shyness. Since then the two museum curators have developed a good neighbour policy as the proximity of the museums permits. Sommer and wife Bev (curator of Surrey Museum) have just recently returned from Thailand where they narrowly escaped the civil war there, so we will have to keep him on his chosen topic of museum exhibits and administration. Two meetings this month, the first general meeting of the year for the new executive will be held, Tuesday, April 9, 7 p.m. at the Aldergrove Veterans Drop In Center, 27247 Fraser Hwy. Guest speaker Warren Sommer. The second meeting of the Historians Committee will be held later on April 11, 7 p.m. at the Aldergrove Veterans Drop In Center. The guest speaker will be a representative from • Friesen's Publications. At this time I would like to extend a personal invitation to anyone interested in writing or research to contact David Hockin, director of public relations, 856-9049. I require help in building profiles of the many surrounding communities and pioneer families.

A study of hundreds of thousands of births found no link between a mother's age and birth deformities, once defects resulting from abnormal chromosomes were excluded, says Dr. Patricia Baird, a geneticist. Baird and her fellow University of British Columbia researchers found the mother's age had no significant bearing on the occurrence of 40 non- chromosomal defects ranging from spina bifida to cleft palates. The chances of a baby having further three birth defects, including congenital dislocation of the hip, actually fell with the age of the mother. Baird's three-member team reviewed almost 27,000 birth defects, taken from the records of nearly 577,000 births in British Columbia between 1966 and 1981. "1 think this is reassuring news to older women who are asking if they have a risk of giving birth to a child with a birth defect, apart from chromosomal problems," Baird says. - Chromosomes are thread-like structures in cells which carry genes, the building blocks of heredity. Chromosomal defects - including Down's syndrome - do indeed increase with age, Baird says. However, chromosomal defects can be detected early in pregnancy with a fetal test known as amniocentesis. Women can then choose to abort the fetus. Some scientists had assumed that the risks of other birth defects, whose origin are unknown, also rose with the age of the mother. But Baird says her group's study, published in the latest issue of the British medical journal Lancet, shows they were wrong.. Baird is a medical genetics professor and chairman of the Canadian: government's Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies. She says more and more Western women are putting off having children for a variety of reasons including career pressures and economic necessity. Some are even waiting until their late 40$ to have their first child. In the United States, women in their early 30s accounted for 12 percent of mothers, having their first babies in 1986, compared with only three percent in 1976. THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING LANGLEY PROPOSED ZONING CHANGES NOTICE Is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Township of Langley will meet and hold a Public Hearing on April 8, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Hall, Council Chamber, 4914 - 221 Street, Ungley, B.C., to consider Township of Langley Bylaw No. 3010. AT THE PUBLIC HEARING all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the hearing. BYLAW NO. 3010 APPLICATION NO. 90-47 Township of Langley Zoning Bylaw 1991 No. 3010 involves a number of mino. "fine tuning" amendments to the Township of Langley Consolidated Zoning Bylaw No. 2500. These amendments are necessary to allow for more efficient administration of the bylaw. Fine Tuning is required as follows: 1. a) Amending the definition of 'Family' in "Section 102 Definitions" by adding the phrase "and utilizing only one set of cooking facilities" to the current definition; b) Updating the definition of "Dwelling Unit" in Section 102 Definitions" to mean "one or more habitable rooms occupied as residential accommodation by only one family and containing or providing for only one set of cooking facilities in one location within the dwelling unit. Excludes hotel or motel units or recreation vehicles"; and c) Adding a definition for "Cooking Facilities" in Section 102 Definitions" to mean "the equipment used to cook a meal and includes gas or electric ranges or stoves, microwave ovens, counter top units, hot plates, wall ovens, toaster ovens, electric frying pans, pressure cookers, crock pots or any other such cooking ^ fetollltyo: obr aiw combination of sucrv cooking facilities and includes the arrangement of service lines which provide the energy source being used or intended to be used to service such laundry facilities and all ancillary equipment". 2. Updating the description of the "Building Bylaw" in Section 104.3(k), 109.2(3) and 109.2(4)(b) by substituting the title of the new bylaw as "Langley Building Bylaw 1987 No. 2518 as amended". 3. Amending Section 104.3 "Accessory Home Occupations" by adding Section 104.3(1) providing restrictions for accessory, home occupations in RM Multiple Family Zones. Section 104.3(1) will state that "Accessory home occupations In RM Multiple Family Zones shall comply with the provisions of Section 104-3 'a' to T inclusive except that the accessory: home occupation shall be limited to an office use only in which use of communication equipment Is the principle means of conducting business. Only one accessory home occupation may be conducted from a dwelling unit in an RM zone". 4. Adding the words "accessory home occupations > subject to Section 104.3(1)" to the RM Multiple Family Zones. Home occupations will now be a permitted use in the multiple family zones subject to . the restrictions imposed by Section 104.3(1) above. 5. Amending Section; ,107.3, "Required . Off-Street Parking Spaces" by replacing the current golf, -course requirements contained in Section 107.3(c)(ix) with the requirements contained in the Golf Course Location and Site Development Guidelines adopted by Council in October of 1990 as follows: "• golf courses: (3 spaces for every par-3 fairway plus 6 spaces for every fairway higher than par-3, plus 1 space per employee): • golf driving ranges: (1 space per installed golf driving tee): ''■-• restaurants accessory to golf courses shall comply with Section i07_3(vl) and 107.3(vli). • for golf course developments located adjacent to a Provincial Highway, the Ministry of Transportation and Highways should. be contacted regarding site access and additional parking requirements." 6. Amending Section 107.5. Parking Design Criteria to add a new Section 107.5(6) allowing for 10% small car parking in RM, C, M and P zones, subject to all small car parking stalls being 90°, having a minimum size of 2.44 metres by 4.88 metres and being clearly signed for 'small cars only*. This amendment Is consistent with the practice of most Lower Mainland municipalities. 7. Updating the description of the "kennel Bylaw" in Section 202.1(3) by substituting the title of the new bylaw as "Dog Licencing Control and Impoundment Bylaw, 1988 No. 2576 as amended". 8. Amending Section 303.1 (3) by removing group childrens' day care centres from Suburban Residential Zone SR-3. Most lots in the SR-3 zone are of a size (less than half an acre) not conducive to establishment of childrens' group day care centres. 9. Clarifying the intent of Sections 301.3 and 302.2 with respect to the location of temporary mobile homes in the SR-1 and SR-2 zones. In the SR-1 zone an amended Section 301.3(C) will clarify that the property must be located in the Agricultural Land Reserve and must be 8094m2 in size or greater. Exceptions on medical grounds must be approved by- Council and must be accompanied by a restrictive covenant preventing subdivision until such time as the mobile home Is removed. Section 301.l(c)(ii) is also amended to enable the Building Inspector to petition immediate surrounmding property owners (as opposed to the petition being conducted by the applicant). An accompanying amendment to Section 302.2 will correct an oversight In the bylaw by noting that in the SR-2 zone the property need not be located In the Agricultural Land Reserve. Both amendments are consistent with current administrative practice. 10. Deleting Section 303.5(2) which provides an exception for the height of accessory buildings used to house commercial vehicles in an SR-3 zone. As commercial vehicles are not permitted to park In an SR-3 zone, the "exception" should be removed. This amendment is consistent with current administrative practice. 11. Amending Sections 501.5(3), 502.5(3) and 503.5(3) in Multiple Family Residential Zones RM-1, RM-2 and RM-3 to better regulate internal building separation. distances within multiple family developments. As Internal building separation distances are governed by Building Code and Development Permit requirements, administrative procedures can be streamlined . by deleting the redundant Zoning Bylaw secltons. Minimum building setbacks to property lines, however, continue to be regulated by Sections 501.5(1), (2), 502-5(1), (2) and 503.5(1), (2). 12. Adding 'video sales and rental stores' and 'computer and computer accessory stores' to the list of permitted uses in Section 603.1 of Service Commercial Zone C-3. These uses are considered to be compatible with existing C-3 uses and locations. 13. Adjusting Section 603.5(c) regulating the side yard building setback requirement in the C-3 Service Commercial Zone to provide consistency with similar siting requirements in the Service Industrial M-1 Zone and development industry requirements relating to the efficient utilization of. commercial sites. Specifically, the existing 4.5 metre side yard setback will only apply where the side lot line abuts a flanking street. No setback is required for an interior lot line abutting an M or C zone. A building setback of 9.0 metres continues to be required from any lot . abutting an SR, R, MH4 or RM zone.

Over, the' last six years, the society has channelled over 25.5-million dollars in fellowships and grants to some 40 laboratories in hospitals, universities and scientific institutions across Canada. At the present moment, the Cancer Research Society allocates grants to all Canadian medical schools.

Guy Jones brought his successful Alice Cooper tribute to Katz Club last weekend. band on stage because Katz has made a good name for itself. • Ltsjt- weekend -Guy "Jones played his Alice Cooper act, setting the stage with his $200,000 worth of lighting, making the stage explode with smoke and a coffin opening to let Guy Jones arise from the dead with his morbid music. . Katz' is owned by an investment group consisting of six partners, Marcus Ray an owner and his right hand man, T. i, Sean Miller manages the club. I "T. Sean does a lot of work and is one of the reasons the club is so successful," says Ray. They are personable type of guys, and neither of them drink or smoke. There are two full service bars and a shooter bar to handle the demand on busy nights. The club holds 350 people and on big . band nights the place is filled. At ten dollars a ticket for a big name act, it's a good deal. Saturday night, the cover charge was four dollars for Guy Jones. The dance floor is one of the bigger ones for a club. In June they will start a "House Band" act and other bands will come in with them. There will be a band that opens up. and the other band will follow them. Katz is open six nights and is closed on Sundays. Monday night is Showcase night which gives the local groups a chance to come in and perform. Tuesday nights is the best comedy night in the valley. Comedians come from as far away as Los Angeles and Toronto, being on the same circuit as Yuk Yuks. Sometimes as many as 250 comedians perform an evening. Afterwards the club plays top forty records, because the audience prefers to socialize. Wednesday is the Katz club secret weapon, which I can't tell you anything about because it's a secret . Thursday night is the Katz Olympics. It is a four session decathalon. It starts with a trike race and the same people have to climb a velcro tower to the ceiling. The other two events sometimes change but to give you an idea they set up candles Which have to be put out with a squirt gun. At the end of the night the winner takes home a trophy and a hundred dollars and the rest of the crowd had a bunch of laughs. The decathalon is performed between band acts. Wednesday through to Saturday are live bands. The club tries to cater to all types. The weekends are quality acts and the crowd is young and wild. The clientele are Well behaved and fights do not happen because agitators are . removed immediately. The club is doing extremely i -^fi^'v Marcus Ray with Matty Fernette of Loverboy, who recently dropped into Katz for well and is setting a precedence with such big bands out in Abbotsford The partners are hoping to start a club for the younger teens, thirteen and up who need a place to go other than a mall. It is just a matter of time and passing the protocol, They have purchased another club and are keeping ' the whereabouts unknown until it's in full production. They hope to a good time, and jam with t./e band. a friendly bring an 86 Street type club out here in the Valley. A summer concert is being planned and they hope to recreate a Woodstock outside on the Ag Rec grounds that will bring an audience much too large for Katz. As Ray says,"Surprise, I'm here." If you want to have a rockin' good time, Katz is the place to boogie.

In an effort to reduce lines of cars, sometimes up to three hours long, at the U.S.-Canada border,- the Canadian government will open express lanes fiir travellers prepared to buy special $10 window stickers. Canadian Revenue Minister Otto Jelinek says the fast lanes will open May 1 for Canadian and U.S. motorists at the:Peace Arch crossing near White Rock. This crossing is one of the border's busiest points. Jelinek says the express system, which should soon be in place at other crossings as well, will speed traffic and give customs officials more time to combat drug-trafficking and encourage tourism. : "We want more tourists and we're not going to have more tourists if we have three-hour lineups at the border," he says. Jelinek says those with.. stickers will be able to drive straight through the Peace Arch border, stopping long enough only to drop off a customs declaration form in a bin. Any duties to be paid would be charged to their credit cards. He says the number of Canadians flocking across the border to shop for cheaper goods is increasing "alarmingly." But during a visit to Vancouver he pinned the blame on high municipal taxes - twice as high for storeowners in Vancouver as in Bellingham. He said his government's new GST tax was not to blame. Jelinek said the U.S. customs will soon set up a similar fast-lane system of its own at the Peace Arch Blaine crossing. GVRD tax increase to look after environment BURNABY . The Greater Vancouver Regional District has adopted a final budget for 1991 ^I^TS^mmmW^SS^ resenting an .8.1 percent actual increase in the total cost of tax-supported functions. Considering the increase in new developments within the" GVRD, the real tax increase will be 4.1 percent.- To achieve this low increase the GVRD board reduced general government expenditures by 17.9 percent. Expenditures on environmental items, however, were increased in line with the 54 actions of Creating Our Future. Air Quality Control received a 36.4 percent increase; Solid Waste Manage- ' ment received, a 35 percent "1__crease'";and^.i_^";TvVti^ District received an.:18.4 percent increase to improve ' water quality. GVRD chairperson Gordon Campbell said, "This year's GVRD budget is right in line with the kind of restraint being urged by the provincial government, but it also fulfills commitments made by the GVRD through Creating Our Future to significantly increase the amount we spend on improving the environmental qualities that make the area a livable region." • ' Langley seeks federal business LANGLEY - A study has been launched to find out how B.C. companies, including five from Langley and Fort Langley, can become more successful in selling their vt» goods and services to the federal government. Langley MLAs Carol Gran and Dan Peterson said the study, is aimed at identifying real and perceived barriers that prevent a more equitable sharing of federal procurement with British Columbia. The $15,000 study, which is being conducted by Business 1"m* and Industry Development - B.C., was announced recently by BID-BC chairman Peter Rowe. BID-BC is an industry- led association of more than 160 companies which is sponsored jn part by the B.C. Trade Development Corporation. It will result in specific recommendations on how issues and problems can be resolved, the MLAs said. Hydro worries ower children and powerlines SMART VANCOUVER - B.C. Hydro encourages parents and teachers to educate children about the hazards of overhead power lines. "Even one report of injury to a child is too many," says corporate safety manager Tom Bailey. "We shudder when we recall situations where children attempted to recover kites and hang banners- from power-lines." y_lfi.iji_dr.e__u. .who.. . ;are'.-:r-fatt \varned about the dangers: of electricity are vulnerable", Bailey adds. "They have to understand why attaching anything to overhead lines, climbing power poles and retrieving kites caught in power lines can be deadly. String, especially if it gets wet, can conduct electricity." Hydro helps arm children with knowledge through its "Play It Safe Around Electricity" safety program in all B.C. schools. One popular and effective demonstration involves passing an electric current through a wiener. The charred remains provides .graphic evidence; oij how dangerous .electricity can be. Information on electrical safety and the school program can be obtained from Hydro district offices throughout the province. YOUR COMPLETE TECHNICAL STORE. 1 2080 _ER0XING BLUE PRINTING * 0RAHING.

Trade, noted that from 1987 to 1990, the federal government's purchases from B.C. companies ranged between 3.8 and six percent of its total procurement spending. "As B.C. produces about 12 percent of Canada's good and services, we have much more work to do in marketing ourselves and this study will help significantly," Veitch said. Companies from Langley that are members of BID-BC are Britco Structures Ltd., Lantec Industries Ltd., Polaris Inflatable Boats Ltd. and S & H Helipro Ltd., and from Fort Langley, Western Protection Services Ltd. The study's interview team, led by management consultant Geoff Swannell of Vancouver, will question federal officials- in B.C. and Ottawa and submit its report and recommendations by late March.

Born in Holland, Gleysteen Seniors must apply now for GIS VANCOUVER -..; Time is running out for seniors to apply for the Guarantee- Income Security, Spouse's Allowance and Widowed Spouse's Allowance benefits. Applications must be sent to the Income Security Programs Branch regional office by March 31, 1991 to ensure benefits appear on April's Old Age Security (OAS) cheque. Current recipients of these benefits were sent a renewal application in January. Individuals who do not have any income to declare on the 1990 income tax returns should submit their application form immediately. Those with income to claim, such as bank interest, private pension plans or employment, must wait until they have received all income information before applying for benefits. Applications received after the March 31 deadline will be processed and benefits will appear on a supplementary cheque. emigrated to the U.S. as a young man, paying his way through the Sale of his artwork. His extensive travels throughout North America and Europe, both on his own and as a tourguide (he has led international tours since 1970) and lecturer, have earned him the affectionate nickname, "the Flying Dutchman". He researches original documents and photographs historic paintings, places, and costumes. He has also traveled to South America and Japan. He speaks Dutch, English, German, and French fluently and is competent in many other languages. Gleysteen, at age 59, has the energy level of an active teenager and a lively sense of humor. He has a mental file filled with an incredible number of stories, both fact and fiction, available for instant recall at appropriate (and unexpected!) moments. . The stories Gleysteen tells contain real characters who were unafraid to live out their Christian faith even though they might die as a result. They are stories of faith, of hope, and of love, within a context of conflict and struggle. These Christians -- Felix Manz, Michael Sattler, and Conrad Grebel among them • searched the scriptures to learn the tenets of then- faith. "Not that the Mennonite tradition is to be glorified or seen as superior to any other background," he says. "But we can use our unique station in this world as a point of departure for conversations with those around us. Every body has to be from someplace. To pretend that you are a person without such roots, without a 'core,' is both impossible and ineffective." Gleysteen is scheduled to be at Bethel Mennonite Church, 24687 - 56 Avenue, Aldergrove, Friday and Sunday evenings, April 5 (7:30 p.m.) and 7 (6:30) p.m.), and at Langley Mennonite Fellowship 19774 - - 56 Avenue, Sunday April 7, 9:45 and 11 a.m.' He will be at Peace Mennonite Church in Richmond on Saturday and Sunday April 13 and 14. He will also speak at Columbia Bible College (Clearbrook), Regent College (Vancouver), and churches in the Clearbrook and Chilliwack areas. He is scheduled to meet with members of the Mennonite Historical Society on Thursday and Friday, April and 12. For information phone 854-5210, 278-4661 or 856- 3256.

U* &'** THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 4, 1991 Budget a Monument to Hypocrisy Arts calendar of events DAVID SOMERVILLE Prime Minster Brian Mulroney's latest federal budget contained a simple message for Canadians: do as I say and not as I do. Mr. Mulroney's budget said that Canadians had to make sacrifices for the good the country. He said that it was a time for "patience and restraint" and lor "self- discipline". What about the politicians, however? Did they make sacrifices? Did they lead by example? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The budget, for instance, did nothing to reform their outrageous, gold-plated pension plan. Under this plan, after only six years in office, MPs qualify for a pension for life immediately upon retirement, regardless of their age, with unlimited protection against inflation. An MP retiring at age 31 could easily collect lifetime pension payouts of more than $2 million. This lavish pension plan is so generous that it would be illegal in the private sector. It has an unfunded liability - a taxpayer IOU - of about $144 million. Pension experts have called it a disgrace and even some MPs have denounced it as "embarrassing". One MP has even called it a "pension of privilege". . Yet the same politicians who possess this pension of privilege expect Canadians who are facing bankruptcies and unemployment to make sacrifices for the good of the country. What arrogance! Prime Minister Mulroney should have shown leadership by using the budget to announce major reforms to this shameful pension plan. MPs should collect their pensions at age 65 and the pensions shouldn't have unlimited, blank cheque protection against inflation. All the Prime Minister could offer, however, were a few token gestures to indicate that MPs would "share the burden". For instance, cabinet ministers will have a portion of their salaries frozen for one year. Big deal. Considering that MPs just had a pay hike last year and added an extra $6,000 to their tax-free allowances, a wage freeze for one year can hardly be called a sacrifice. It is no wonder that Canadians are feeling cynical and disrespectful about their MPs.; They have earned it. MPs can win back the respect ol voters and taxpayers by showing real leadership on spending. A good start would be made by reforming their own pension plan. (David Somerville is President ot The.

Manufacturer slide to continue, says analyst OTTAWA - Canada's recession- hit manufacturing sector is shrinking rapidly, the federal government reports. Economists expect to see more weakness before the economy bottoms out. Shipments by Canadian manufacturers dropped by 13 percent in January from December, the third straight monthly decrease, Statistics Canada reports. Government agency , says Canadian factories ran at 74 percent of capacity.in the fourth quarter of 1990, down 4.6 percent from the third quarter. This was the largest single- quarter drop since the 1982 recession. "The manufacturing sector , has not hit bottom yet in the current recession," said Patti Croft, an economist with Bums Fry Ltd. "(The numbers) show this is a broadly based recession." Economists say the manufacturing sector, which makes up about 20 percent of the Canadian economy, has been hit by high interest rates that cut investment and consumer demand The relatively high value of the Canadian dollar makes exports more expensive, particularly with Canada's main trading partner, the United States: "The spread against the U.S. dollar is just crucial," said Catherine Swift, and economist with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. "We are seeing the same degree of de-industrialization and the same inhospitable climate (as in the 1982-83 recession)," she said The economists expect lower consumer and investment demand to prolong the recession. "We think the trend is clearly on a downward path. It (manufacturing shipments) has been decreasing by 0.9 percent for the . past three months," said Henry Glouchkow, an economist with Statistics Canada. Shipments declined in 19 of 22 major industries, with wood and wood products showing a 9.2 percent decrease from the month before. A weak manufacturing sector reverberates through other sectors of the economy. But a major sign of weakness has been the large job losses in Ontario, the country's industrial heartland. "The manufacturing sector has been hit badly and we have seen most of the job losses in Ontario," said Linda Nazareth, an economist with the Canadian, Imperial Bank of Commerce. However, a recent decline in interest rates has spurred increased activity in the housing sector, Nazareth said, and that could help the wood and wood products sector.

Brady heads waste plan BURNABY - Peter Brady, former comptroller of Water Rights and director of Water Management for the province of British Columbia, has been appointed as project manager for the planned $350,000 review of. the Greater Vancouver Regional. District's Solid Waste Management Plan, which was announced on Feb. 19. The project manager for the Solid Waste Management Plan review will be responsible for the coordination of the public involvement process and integration of information from the public and working committees. Brady will also recommend strategies and an implementation plan for carrying the district's solid waste management into the next century to Ben Marr, the GVRD regional manager. Valley politicians play with education, says educator VANCOUVER.'.; The report of the Fraser ; Valley Access Consultation group is out and it adds nothing new to the previous report published in June of 1990, according to Ed Lavalle, president of the 5,000 member College-Institute Educators' Association of B.C. "In fact," said Lavalle, "this report appears to have been hijacked by politics in the area." The report, released in February, is called After High School What?' The report of the group followed up the June, 1990 report entitled Findings of the Fraser Valley Access Com- mitee. "The idea behind the Consultation group's report,'' said Lavalle, "was to assess public opinion in the area . about how degree-granting programs should be offered and presumably to give some direction to the Minister of Advanced Education. In our opinion, the report does not in any way reflect public opinion expressed during community consultations, especially with respect to support for a university/college as the preferred model in the short- term." Given these distortions, Lavalle questioned what the point of the consultation process was and whether the end result was motivated by political considerations. "We are deeply concerned that for reasons of political expediency the provincial government may come forward with recommendations which bear little resemblance to those put forward by citizens, business'' esi labour and community organizations and students and educators." Referring to the recent controversy surrounding a possible move of the Justice Institute into Langley, the home riding of cabinet minister Carol Gran, despite a clear recommendation that the institute be situated on the old Douglas College site in New Westminster, Lavalle noted that political interference in educational decisions is not without precedent. "We are rapidly reaching the conclusion," said Lavalle, "that the whole consultation process may be used to allow the government to make a political decision on what is clearly an educational issue. It would be shameful if the educational options for thousands of citizens in the Fraser Valley are shaped by the immediate political needs of this government, rather than by the community". Explaining why CIEA and many others prefer a university-college over a new .university, at least in the short-term, Lavalle noted that, given the immediate access crisis in the Fraser Valley, a university-college could begin offering degree programs almost immediately and it would be cost-effective. At the same time, the university- college option does not rule out the development of a free-standing university somewhere down the road. "At a time when the winds of fiscal restraint are once again blowing through this province, it would be foolish for the government to announce plans for another education mega- project' ', said Lavalle, "especially given that there is another option out there - the University-college - that clearly has support from the majority of the community and that is working quite well in three other communities in B.C.". Lavalle strongly; urged the Minister of Advanced Education to refer the report back to the consultation committee in order to ensure that it more accurately reflects public opinion. .__** r ____ ^^^^mm gWjaWMiawww'irjiLiwii imi miy min mmmmmmmmmmm tHVI* ""i{*« 0__-B_. . 25; • ;•..;' > . ...-.• THE ^LDEfWROVE STAR, APRIL 4, 1991 TROPICAL TREATS FROM YOUR FRIENDLY Canada SafewayUmtied^r* Countryside 5 H o r f I N G *C 1 N T I I ALDERGROVE OPEN 8 A.M.
