note: IN A MERE 12 YEARS There's a way, say NDP By MARK JOHNSON Lynn Fairall says she can find a down-to-earth way to deal with the federal bureaucratic mess. Town size to double ALDERGROVE - A dozen years down the road, it is expected that Aldergrove's population will total 12,099. This is the figure that emerges from a report "on the required size of the Aldergrove library by the year 2001." Report was prepared by planners in Murrayville at council's request. It also sets a new standard for the size of branch libraries, calling for .55 square feet of library space for every citizen in the community. A branch library in Aldergrove of 6,654 square feet would be needed in 2001, the report states. Next year, when the library moves from the Aldergrove Centre mall to the new community centre next to the high school on 29 Avenue, space will grow from 2,720 to 3,846 square feet. "While (this) is significant," says recreation director Darch Oborne, "the Fraser Valley regional library will require that the size of the (branch) library be increased as Aldergrove's population increases." Of course, further adjustments could become necessary if the expected population should fall short or exceed the projected figure of 12,099. Lynn Fairall "I think I could find a path through the maze of bureaucracy," says the newly elected NDP candidate for the federal riding of Fraser Valley West. She says that because she is basically a person who is more familiar with everyday problems, she knows what the people want - and how to get it. "I'm a novice as far as politics goes," she says, sitting in the kitchen of her country home, built by Langley Secondary School students as a project. "But even though Mr. Wenman has been in (as MP of Fraser Valley West) for 14 years, I probably know more about reality." P|ease see page 32 August hearings on proposal BURNABY - B.C.
