note: NO MORE BUSH LEAGUES Time for a real change - HBliP i MURRAYVILLE - It is time for Langley to change its image, says township Aid. John Scholtens. As we approach the 1990s, this Fraser Valley community should strive towards becoming an "aggressive, commercial community," says Scholtens. That would include dropping the old image of being a hick town hidden somewhere out there in the bush, he says. Mayor John Beales agrees, and so does Aid. Steve Ferguson. While other aldermen would like to see trees planted to hide industry, Scholtens would be satisfied with some nice shrubs. Otherwise, "people will never realize that Langley is here," he says. Monday night, councilors were arguing about what demands they should place on industry when it comes to landscaping. They wen- upset when a developer cut down all the trees on an industri, property adjacent to the Trar. Canada Highway. Later thej demanded that Penreal Developments replace the alder trees that had been removed. The company, in turn, indicated willingness to replant a hedge with four-inch diameter evergreens. Aid. Terry Thorne said these would grow to "no height at all." Councilors were split on whether or not demands should be increased.
