James Markle, 15, was rushed to Langley Memorial, dien Children's Hospital, Saturday afternoon after his first go at die new BMX track ended up in a catastrophe. Witnesses said Markle was not wearing a bike helmet and diat his mountain bike was not appropriate for die bicycle moto- cross type track, near the Civic Centre. Odier cyclists were yelling at him to slow down and get familiar with die track first, but Markle didn't stop or slow down. His bike frame snapped when it hit a set of moguls and Markle was flung headfirst into hard- packed dirt, losing consciousness, and vomiting and bleeding from his mouth. Friends rolled Markle over so he wouldn't choke, while another youth went to call for emergency help. The track is operated by die non-profit Langley BMX Association, and a spokesman said use is limited to diose widi helmets and BMX bikes. It was officially opened during die weekend. Fraser Valley regional coroner, Chuck Standish will be investigating die accident, but so far has been unable to contact Markle's parents and is dierefore not making a "public statement at this time.

De Jong does not think that the top lawmaker of die province should be occupying his post while under investigation for perjury. Gabelman, who is not a lawyer, had admitted earlier diis week that he had made an error of omission in a legal document, which he lias since corrected in an amended document. De Jong had been to Matsqui courts, in his other duties as a lawyer, the day after his expulsion from the house and he says that people diere are very concerned about the incident and consider it a very serious matter. Many people involved in working with the law diink it inappropriate that Gabelmann still hold his position as Attorney General while he is under investigation because it affects die administration of justice, said de Jong. Gabelmann is being investigated for committing perjury in an affidavit he filed in court. He has stated diat should die prosecutor find wrongdoing on his part, that he will voluntgrily step down as Attorney General, but until then he will not resign.

By JANET BLAIR ALDERGROVE - Minor baseball is underway in Aldergrove — at least for some. A lengthy battle with Parks and Recreation has left the upper two divisions of Aldergrove Minor Baseball standing on the sidelines waiting for the grass to grow. After appealling to Parks and Recreation (over the span of several years) to bring the Parkside diamonds up to a standard granted other fields in the township, Aldergrove found themselves playing in the mud last year, as the crews came in to tear up the north-east diamond to place j drainage rites two weeks before the season was to start. We made it through that as the crews did a quick smoothing. over with the promise of a great field for the following year. True to their word, contractors were out there soon after the season was over to re-do the entire field. The field was raised and levelled with a new drainage system in place. The developers wanted to wait until spring before planting but the Township council had the money budgeted for '93 and said it had to be spent in 1993. They went ahead with the hydro-seeding, a process where seeds that have already germinated for quick growth are sprayed onto a prepared field. As was feared, within a few weeks the seedlings were killed by frost. The field suffered some minor vandalization over the fall and winter and has again been repaired ahd re-seeded, this time by conventional methods. Turfing was out of the question, as a quote of $21,000 was given for sand- grownr-turf to dblthe north-east diamond alone. Seeding will take a Please see page 7...

Reform house leader Jack Wfisgerber said last week. "In essence, die Harcourt government deliberately deceived B.C. taxpayers when it brought in the 1994 budg^' Weisgerber charged. "Not only was a $600-million stumpage tax hike left out of the budget, it wasn't accounted for in projected expenditures," said Weisgerber. "Once again die NDP's cooked the books to say they are cutting die growth of operating expenditures, while in reality, government spending is going sky-high." Weisgerber said that if die forest renewal expenditures were properly accounted for in the budget, government spending would be up almost six percent, not 35 percent as claimed. "Add the highways construction costs buried in BC21 that used'to be included in operating costs and the true spending figure soars to 7.4 percent. "The increase in stumpage tax explodes die niytii of Harcourt's so-called 'tax freeze'. Any way you slice it, it's a massive tax grab that was left off die books and out of die budget. '"Worse yet, at least $400 million of that extra revenue will be doled out each year by the FIRST IN EXPERIMENT newest NDP patronage haven - Forest Renewal B.C. - with y«*ajy'- litde^^accountability. Not one dime of diis money has been included in the budget projections dirougli 1996/97,"*yet every cent of it is for operating expenditures. "I expect the Auditor General will be troubled by diis shoddy shell game," Weisgerber predicted, "if MacBlo was able to plan for die higher stumpage costs in its forecast to shareholders, B.C. taxpayers should have expected no less from the province when it brought dowjfr'-die budget." Lifting d^anprged SEATTLE - the Clinton administration has filed aLrevised plan for logging in the Pacific Northwest. The White House is asking a federal judge in Seatde to lift an injunction banning logging in 17-million acres of National Forest land in northern California, Oregon and Washington, but environmental groups and timber industry representatives call the plan inadequate. The president said the plan will restore forestsjand provide sustainable managernent for forests. About 70 percent: of remaining unprotected old growth would be placed in reserve under the plan, and timber sales would drop to about one-quarter of 1980s levels. Police open community policing post in Bradner BRADNER - On Monday, Matsqui Police opened what is anticipated to be the first of several Community Police Posts. The purpose of these posts is to bring die police officer closer to the community, in particular die oudying communities. The first post is situated at the Bradner Community Hall. The designated patrolling officer will have access to die? post on a 24 hour basis. He will primarily use this facility for report writing. A telephone and answering machine are available to him enabling the local community to leave messages and or set up appointments. The public is invited to stop in and meet with die officer whenever his vehicle is at diis location. The official opening was held April 20 at 2 p.m. The telephone number is 856- 9486, however all matters of an urgent nature or requiring inH3^;: diate attention must be reported to die Matsqui Police department office at 859-5225 or, in case of an emergency, 853-1122. Should diis ;Jttiitiative prove to be successful, diree further posts are anticipated in Matsqui, one in die soudi-west area, one in die south-east area and one in the' north-east area. "It must be emphasized diat thes^ posts are not staffed on a 24 hours basis and are not to be confused with store front operations," said Sargeant G.J. Leukefeld.

S Alliance applauds forest strategy VANCOLIVER - Forest Alliance of B.C: chairman Jack Munro has welcomed the provincial government's Forest Renewal Plan unveiled in Victoria April 14, saying it's about time British Columbia got serious about intensive silviculture. "It's a very positive step to- Plan to V burn jobs and money? VICTORIA - The Forest Sector . Strategy is a transparent excuse to jack up stumpage revenues by about 50%, with no new ideas for job creation, B.C. Reform MLA Jack Weisgerber said April 14. "Clearly this plan has been patched together as nodiing more dian a stop-gap measure to ease the political pain on die NDP caused by its own assault on die forest workers," said Weisgerber. "It's aimed more at saving the Harcourt governmental? own political hide and creating a new haven for NDP patronage than at providing skilled jobs for displaced forest workers. "The government is proposing to raise stumpage costs by about $500-million a year and pump diat money into a new political arm of government diat is remarkably similar to BC21. "The NDP want to substitute, make-work 'Mcjobs' for highly skilled forest jobs that will not be accepted by forest workers as a fair trade-off," said Weisgerber. "In reality, diis plan will substantially raise die cost of forest industry production widi higher stumpage revenues that could be more effectively used to reduce government debt. "Loggers and fallers don't want to pull weeds for a living, diey want to exercise dieir trade. All this plan will do is put a lot of silviculture contractors out of business, who won't be able to compete with the subsidized wage levels contemplated here. "Much of the work proposed has typically been done by students - die former Environmental Youdi Corps, for example. This plan leaves diem out in die cold. "Forest workers won't take any comfort from diis non-plan, be- I cause it only confirms diat this government is preoccupied widi public relations, obsessed widi higher taxes, devoid of common- sense and bereft of new ideas."

Investments will be managed by Forest Renewal B.C., a partnership of government, industry, workers, communities, First Nations and environmentalists. "For years die Forest Alliance has been talking about the need for more intensive silviculture and investment to ensure we get more jobs out of die trees we harvest," Munro said.

APfHL 21. 1994 COMMENT FROM A PARENT Our kids are all worth it! By JAN MURPHY LANGLEY - If life is a journey, then the teenage years must be the day we take to visit the fair. A roller coaster ride of joyful highs and rock bottom lows, a mixture of childish fantasy and the often stark realities of adult life, the teenage years can be the best of times, and are often the worst. We shake our heads at the way our teenagers appear to see the world, yet the view from the ferris wheel can be splendid indeed. Burgeoning confidence and maturity coupled with limited "real life" experiences give teenagers a unique vantage point on the world into which they are emerging. It's a view tempered by transition and influenced by a series of unfolding events and first time opportunities. Confronted by negativism, television morality, violence, peer pressure and accessible drugs, and compiled with a growing awareness of self and sexuality, our teenagers leave their innocence behind at the entrance gate. Like a day at the carnival, they take their rides, make their choices and take their chances at the Big Prize. And what is the "Big Prize"? Success. Happiness. Enough self- esteem to take the intelligent risks, to make the best choices possible. Isn't that what we all want? But is our aspirations for winning the Big Prize can be loosely likened to a midway game, are the odds against our teens? Have they been set up to lose just by being foolish enough to play? Not if we stack the deck! Every generation has intrinsically known the value of setting a good example, providing love and understanding, but when the carnival comes to town, sometimes these are not enough. Those of us who crawl out of bed at 5 a.m. to drive our children to swim practice or hockey, those of us who give up our weekends to the library, the riding ring, the recital or the competition, those of us who climb wearily back into the car after a day's work for dance or music lessons or sit for that extra hour at the kitchen table with a research project know that involvement is not always easy. But, it is a key to turning the odds in favor of our teenagers! And while not all things are possible for all parents, involvement can take many different forms and often comes with a liberal "dose of personal sacrifice. Getting our teenagers involved and keeping them involved can be a full time job in itself. But involvement fosters commitment, personal responsibility, and an awareness that hard work can pay off, sometimes in surprising ways. Our relationships improve and our teens' day at the fair takes on a whole new glow. It can be fun after all! So step right up and take your chances at the Big Prize! Roll the dice, but by all means, put a litde weight in the cubes. Our kids are worth it. The evolution of tool By STEVE METCALF Two 11-year-old suburban girls are talking. The talk turns - as it so fre- quendy does - to earrings. One of die girls lias just bought a new pair, litde dangling peace signs. The odier giri^Watches as die box opens and die objects are revealed. She can summon but a single word: 'Cool!' Not marvy. Or nifty. Or sharp, far out, tubular, decent, 'bitchin', boss, groovy, out of sight (not to mention out t a sight), choice, ducky, major, unreal, primo, dynamite, crazy, gone. The earrings were cool, pronounced with a conviction that almost transforms it into a two- syllable word. It's a watershed lexicographical moment. Cool, originally die province of black musicians and beat-generation hipsters? later of frisky, Eisenhower-era teens, has, against all odds, survived and prospered into die 1990s. It has become a locution for all ages The Aldergrove Star invites letters to die editor on topics of interest to the community. The let- ters-to-the-editor column is a chance for comment on what has been said 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 die author. Submissions must include a written signature. We prefer letters to be typed and double spaced, and present the comment as clearly and briefly as possible. The editor reserves die right to condense or reject letters containing libel or of poor taste. widi many purposes and several shades of meaning. But its essence is unambiguous: That which is good is cool. Cool, in its informal sense, is now at least 50 years old, a long run for a piece of slang. More impressively, it remains in active use among nearly all social and demographic groups, widi die exception of some older people, whose slang habits, it's dieorized, were already fully formed by die time cool made its appearance. 'Cool' came into wide usage in die mid-1940s, initially via die jazz world but assisted, as many slang terms were, by die enforced social democracy of World war II. The term 'cool jazz' denoted an understated, subdued style, embodied by such artists as saxophonists Art Pepper and Lee Kohitz, trumpeter Chet Baker and groups like the Modern Jazz Quartet. The movement was also loosely attached to trumpeter Miles Davis, whose album 'Birth of die Cool' lias become at least as important to lexicographers as to musicologists. By die 1950s, white teenagers, aroused and abetted by rock 'n' roll, had discovered and appropriated cool. Predictably, its meaning grew less precise. The Random House Dictionary attempts to distinguish among several related senses: insolent, (hence) daring; shrewd, suave, sophisticated, especially in ways attractive to die opposite sex; fashionable, stylish; and superlative, exciting. Of course, die shadings are not mutually exclusive. A figure like Elvis, for instance, could be considered fashionable, superlative, suave and insolent all at die same time. If it was music that spawned cool in smoky clubs, it was also music that has carried it, initially via transistor radios and 45s, to the wider world. Is our system really a good model? By MICHAEL WALKER On February 9 diis year, I was one of diree Canadians who appeared before the US Congress to testify about the effectiveness of die Canadian healdi care system. Congress believes that Canada has found die secret to providing universal, top-quality healdi care at a low cost. The facts we presented to them suggested otiier- wise. The Fraser Institute survey of hospital waiting lists, which I presented to die Ways and Means Committee of die House of Representatives, shows diat nearly one percent of our population is waiting for surgery. That survey also shows diat, unlike die mydi, access is not uniform; across die country but varies enormously by province. One would expect die more a province spends, the closer it would come to die US experience of no or very short waiting lists. The shortest waiting times are measured in Ontario which spends $7,200 per family of four on healdi care, nearly double die amount spent in Prince Edward Island which has the lowest cost care at $4,800 and die longest waiting times. A comparison of technologies shows diat many Canadians do not have access to the latest diagnostic machinery and enough treatment facilities at their disposal. To pick a topical example, we have one tenth die number of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines per capita as die United States. While diere will always be die question (widi no definitive answer) of how many is enough, die fact diat private NMRI facilities are opening in Alberta and B.C. and diat Canadians are going into die US to get such diagnostic imaging done suggests that we have not ^cem pace in this area. Congress learned from Dr. William Mackillop of the Kingston Regional Cancer Centre that cancer patients are now getting less radiation dierapy for specific cancers dian diey were getting 10 years ago, to dieir detriment. Less radiation dierapy means more surgery, more disfigurement and less longevity dian otiierwise would be achieved. Mackillop pointed out diat diere was a shortage of radiation dierapy units, a shortage of people to operate them and a shortage of people to train people to operate diem. This, he noted, in spite of die fact that the current increasing demand for cancer dierapy had been well forecast as early as 1975 because die incidence of cancer is age dependent and die average of our population is increasing in a very predictable way. The bureaucrats had simply not reacted to the foreseeable need, he pointed out. Perhaps the most important comment he made to Congress concerned a comparison he had made of waiting for times for radiation therapy between Canada and die United States. The comparison he offered was based on a comprehensive survey of cancer centres in Canada and die US. The American centres are government operated and provide access on the same basis as die Canadian hospitals. Dr. Mackillop asked die centres to provide die number of weeks diat a patientcould expect to wait for therapy for cancers of specific jypes. He found diat in every case Canadian patients were waiting longer dian their American counterparts. In die case of some cancers, die median wait was diree times as long in Canada as it was in the US. While Mackillop had many nice tilings to say about die Canadian system, about how unnecessary surgeries and treatment were kept to a minimum, he betrayed a concern about whedier die- system of bureaucracies in government was capable of anticipating and reacting to die health care needs of the population in die way it should. He in particular diinks diat cancer patients are not receiving die treatment they need and should be getting. The cancer testimon*^ and mine about waiting list§~,were given some real life impact by the testimony of Lisa Priest of die Toronto Star. Priest has been doing a series of articles on how waiting lists affect particular patients in Ontario. Her stories are bodi heart-wrenching and effective in pointing to the specific problems which beset our Canadian health care system. She surprised observers, however, by coming to die paradoxical conclusion diat faults and all she would choose die Canadian health care system over that of die US, because, she noted, diere are two things Canadians fear when diey go to die United States, diat they will get shot gbF get sick. Evidendy diose who go diere to get die healdi care - including die cancer dierapies about which:. Priest writes - are not included in this assessment. Rethinking arrival of jj| humans in the Americas By WILLIAM LONG VALDIVIA, Chile - Many scientists envision Soudi America 12,000 years ago as a virgin landscape unknown to humankind. That vision is being shaken up by new evidence diat people may have migrated from Asia to die western hemisphere much earlier dian had been believed A theory widely accepted until recendy says people first came to North America about 11,500 years ago, walking across a land bridge later consumed by die Bering Sea. They*fitade dieir way south from Alaska, succeeding generations spreading across North America and dien, across die Central American isdimus into Soudi America. Now, finds at archaeological sites in South America, including one called Monte Verde here in soutiiern Chile, suggest diat people arrived hundreds, perhaps diousands of years before that. Radiocarbon dating, analysis of sedimentary strata and long extinct pollen samples, have convinced archaeologist Thomas Dillehay diat people were at Monte Verde more than 12,000 years ago. And, says Dillehay, for people to be in Monte Verde 12,000 or 13,000 years ago, tiieir ancestors probably had to be in North America by at least 13,000 or 14,000 BP ('BP' in archaeologist jargon meaning 'before die present'). Death penalty to return WASHINGTON - During the first day of a showdown debate over a sweeping anti-crime pack- age, the US House of Representatives signalled its support of the death penalty. Black and hispanic members were defeated in several attempts to eliminate provisions in the bill which would expand the death penalty to some 60 new federal crimes.

In the opening game versus the Seven Clubs Capitals, with Colby Smith in net, 'Grove scored two goals; the first from Tanner Rattray from Howard Richards; the second by Matt Holmes unassisted. The second contest in the tourney, against the Nasa Warriors, a Calgary team, had T.O. Leakey in net. It proved to be very exciting — never to be forgotten by fans or players. Aldergrove went into double overtime with goals by Tanner Rattray from Jason Ballantyne and Mark Stockbrocks; and Jason Ballantyne unassisted, The game ended with a nail biting 3-2 final score for Calgary. After that close contest, who needed to hit the showers more - the players or the fans??? Aldergrove beat the Regina Cougars 4-2 with the help of goaltender Colby Smith. (Did our Saskatchewan transplant goalie give us an edge?) Goals were scored by Lance Perkins from Tanner Rattray; Howard Richards from Rattray and Mark Stockbrocks; Jason Ballantyne from Jason Leggat and Stockbrocks; and Stockbrocks unassisted. Injuries and road fatigue finally caught tip with 'Grove when Bow Valley Flames beat them in the fianl tourney game. (Or was it the hair dye?) By this time the Calgary color craze had hit 5 players. Mark, Scott, Tanner, Howard-iand Jason B. all dyed their hair or streaked it for the trip. Even Mr. Stockbrocks had a red streak under his hat! Is it true blonds have more fun? Special thanks to Chris Fox for filming the games. An untimely broken arm, compliments of rugby, forced him to perform behind the camera instead of infront of it. And the team missed you in Calgary, Ken. Thanks for fundraising with us, even though you stayed home. OuiSjieam was honoured by having tw^players selected for the All Star teams. Lance Perkins was on the winning All Star team, and Kris Lindquist scored a goal for his All Star team. Qur illustrious coaches Guy Leakey and Pat Ansell, were surprised, to say the least, to be selected to coach one of the All Star teams. Sources say they were speechless, but honored. The team was especially grateful for so much support from the community in making this trip one they will never forget. Parker Pacific donated $100, Aldergrove Kinettes, $150 and Aldergrove Elks gave $200 towards travel expenses. We sincerely appreciative your generosity to our players.

Four diamonds are lost to us but Aldergrove Minor Baseball president, Vern Elliott, says that no players have had to be turned away. It is a scheduling nightmare, but the men's fastball diamond at Parkside has been made available to us Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That, along with the diamond at Creekside is proving to be adequate for the Mosquitoes, as back-to-back games are scheduled for the weekends. Parks and Recreation has tried to be accomodating by providing the T-Ball'ers and Tadpoles with extra temporary backstops at Shortreed Elementary and Creekside Park. The Pee Wee division is the only one not affected, as their diamond is at South AldergrOyg,. Park behind the Kinsmen Centre. The Park's crews will be clearing out the side hill next to Parkside Elementary to make way for batting cages. The new township council voted down a request by Aldergrove Minor Baseball to finance this venture. The baseball association will bear the cost with the help of funding from'4Jingo and the general account. Fundraisers are being planned — one such is a ball-toss.

"Our goal is to make this clinic an important part of this dynamic community", noted Dr. Ed Kostashuk, director of the Surrey Clinic, in his welcoming remarks to visitors. "We will offer state-of- the-art cancer treatment, backed by the latest in equipment and technology. The chance to bring cancer care 'closer to home' is a welcome development in making our services more accessible to residents of the Fraser Valley." Surrey Memorial Hospital chair, David Vipond explained: "Our partnership with BC Cancer Agency offers many benefits to the hospital as well as to the community.''

Reform leader Jack Weisgerber said diat the Harcourt government is more concerned with protecting die personal privacy of a sex offender than it is with protecting its own employees' personal privacy rights. "The government has a double standard when it comes to protecting personal privacy: one for Danny Perrault and another for its own employees and contractors," said Weisgerber. The NDP finds no harm in re leasing confidential personal information about government employees, but takes evei*y jarecau- tion imaginable to protect die privacy rights of a despicable creep like Danny Perrault. "The government is right to observe the privacy rules in this case, hard as that may be to stomach. But when it comes to protecting sensitive personal information about completely innocent British Columbians, die government open its confidential files to all and sundry."

APRIL 21. 1994 John Hammond FROM HOOK TO HENDRIX Hammond's seen it all in his time By KURT LANGMANN It was back in 1966 in,j||New York club that a young Seatde guitar player named Jinii Hendrix was "discovered" playing with John Hammond's blues band. A young impressario (and member of Eric Burdon's Animals), Chas Chandler gave Hendrix die cash to go to England and record his first album widi a couple of Brits, to be called the Jinii Hendrix Experience. John Hammond brings anodier hot guitar-slinger by die name of Duke Robillard for a concert at the Commodore diis Saturday, April 23. Hammond has had a fascinating life; his fadier, die late John Hammond Sr. was a. Columbia Records artist and repertoire man, noted for discovering and developing Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, among many odiers. Hammond Sr. often took young John to the recording studios and had many of die legendary folk and blues artists over to his home for social visits/^rThe young Jolin Hammond, raised on die jo&usic from Howling Wolf and Robert Johnson, began playing professionally at the age of 20, opening for Pop Staples and die Staples Singers. "It was in 1962 at die Ash Grove in Los Angeles... really intense, gospel roots stuff, very inspirational," said Hammond, who later that year recorded his debut album for Vanguard Records. Of his collaborations, Hendrix remains a favorite memory: "In 1966 I put together a band featuring Jinii on guitar at a club in New \brk called the Cafe Au Go Go. We played diere for two weeks and every night die place was packed. He was playing through an amp with no effects at all — he didn't need any. effects, he didn't need a wall of Marshall amps. He was just a phenomenal guitar player. It was Plan would run into red WASHINGTON - One |£ the health care reform plans on the table in the U.S. has received the critical eye of a respected govern^ ment agency.

I had just formed a band and was playing at a club caled the Gaslight. He had a week off and every night he sat in with us and jammed on guitar, for five nights. Eric Clapton was also in town and he sat in with us for four of die shows. For four nights I had two of die greatest guitar players ever playing with me." Over die years, Hammond has recbrded a variety of acoustic and electric blues albums, widi die likes of John Lee Hooker, Bill Wyman, Duane Allman, Michael Bloomfield, Dr. John, Levon Helm and many more. He's played Vancouver numerous times, solo and widi band, and is equally adept and engaging ei- dier way. The first time diis writer saw him was almost 20 years ago at a now-defunct Vancouver coffeehouse called die Egress, and Hammond had us transfixed; alone on stage widi a guitar, perched on a stool, wringing every emotion out of his songs and physically grooving to his beat... die Elvis of the blues, if you like. He did much die same sort of show a dozen years ago at the Vancouver Folk Festival, arid last year he accompanied die Staples Singers at die Orpheum. This time he brings Duke Robillard, an award-winning guitarist on die Rounder Records label, and member of die Fabulous Thunderbirds. Robillard started out in the '70s as member of Roomful of Blues, dien Robert Gordon's band, dien Muddy Waters' Legendary Blues Band, dien paring down to his own trio in 1979, called die Pleasure Kings. He's made forays into recording jazz, but his roots are in gritty rock and blues, and togedier widi Hammond, will make for a dynamite show. Hammond has just released Ids second album for Pointblank/ Virg|gt£ Records, called Trouble No More, and like 1992's Got Love If You \Cimt It, it's produced. by J.J. Cale. Celebratory, raucous and heartfelt, diese CDs capture Hammond at his peak, bodi solo - and widi Litde Charlie^& die Nightcats, aldiougli he acknowledges, "This album is more band- . .oriented-"...,,,.. ^Jk-^^L^*^ Contemporary China at Fort ||| FORT LANGLEY - Currendy being exhibited at die Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre is Contemporary China.

APRIL 21. 1994 13 FORT ST.JOHN - New gun laws direaten to force die buying and selling of weapons underground, a Mountie has warned. Const. Ian Tidey says federal legislation enacted January 1 this year requires that anyone wanting to buy a gun must have completed a safety course in order to obtain or renew a Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC), which allows them to purchase the weapon. The Fort St.John police officer said most people won't bother trying to buy a gun when they discover they must take a $150 course. Many will simply ask friends or neighbors who have completed die training program to buy a gun for diem, he said. Tidey said the course is worthwhile for first-time gun owners, but of litde value for an experienced user who already knows well how to handle firearms properly. "To take somebody who's been hunting and fishing - had weapons since he was 10 years old - and tell him now you've got ' to take a $150 course, I don't diink is right," Tidey said. Local gun salesman Jim Krauss said die new legislation was designed to appease the anti-gun movement in big cities.

Jfpl Manning now makes $150,000 a year OTTAWA - The Reform Party has disclosed diat it paid leader Preston Manning $126,000 annually in salary and expenses before he was elected to the Commons. Party chairman Cliff Friars explained Manning's pay in a confidential memo to ^Reform MPs and party members. The memo also defended die $31,000 Manning now receives for travel expenses, clodies, car allowance and travel for his fami ly. Friars said the party actually saves $95,000, because it was paying Manning a salary of $76,500 and $49,500 in expenses before he began earning his Commons paycheck. Combining his party expense account, his $54,500 Commons salary, and Commons expense money, Manning now earns about $150,000 yearly in salary and taxfree expenses. shooting people," he said.

The leaves make a highly effective medicine which kills parasites. World Vision has already planted thousands of these trees in Ethiopia. Kids "4" change helps J§ youths learn about trees MISSISSAUGA - World Vision Canada is unveiling Kids 4 Change, a program designed for children, ages eight to 11. It offers teachers and parents a colourful package which invites youngsters into a learning experience alx>ut trees while at the same time, it gives participants the chance to support reforestation projects in Ethiopia. "This is one of die few educational programs which links hunger to deforestation, especially for young children," says World Vision vice-president, Dave Toycen. "Often, Canadians see trees as either a commodity for the paper industry or a filter for clean air. We want kids to understand diat in countries like Ethiopia trees are an integral part of die food chain:" Kids 4 Change focuses on the dangers of deforestation, bringing Canadians face-to-face widi a major contributing factor to die 1984-85 Ediiopian famine, one of die most devastating famines of die past decade. At die turn of the century almost 80% of Ethiopia was covered by trees. By 1984, diat coverage was down to 4% and the resulting drought killed millions. Today, die percentage of forest coverage has increased to over 10%, but compared to British Columbia which has 64% of its land mass covered by trees, there is still much work to be done. Dr. F. Gurmesa, an Ediiopian Project Worker with World-Vision reports on how life has changed in Ediio'pia's Ansokia Valley since World Vision began its reforestation project there is 1987. "People are encouraged to begin tree nurseries and now diey are producing a lot of trees and fruit. They have even started selling their fruit to neighbouring villages. Wildlife lias come back to its original habitat and diere are noticeable climatic changes. The changes are especially significant when" you realize that die area is now relatively self-sufficient. One tree in particular, die kosso tree, which is being planted everywhere, is valued, not only for preventing soil erosion, but for its medicinal properties." Through Kids 4 Change, World Vision hopes to educate Canadian children and, at the same time, repeat die success story of Ansokia Valley throughout Ethiopia, dius reducing die risk of anodier famine disaster.

Aldergrove - 856-4635 CRESTON - One of die reasons I enjoy life so much is diat I'm amused and satisfied by small things. After many, often stressful days chairing the court of revision, which hears appeals of property assessment, one pleasant moment stands out. We were approaching the end of a long day in Kaslo and I had nodced die name Peter White on our list of appellants. White had been waiting an hour for his turn and I dianked him for his patience. "I know we've been keeping you hanging by a fine white thread," I said. He did a double take, laughed and replied, "Now, there's a blast from the past." Twenty years ago, my circle of friends 'discovered' Paul Harm, a folk singer who also billed himself as the Cockney Cowboy. Excellent twelve-string guitar playing, great stage presence and clever lyrics made Hann a big attraction for us. We were once among a handful of fans who braved a blizzard to hear him at a University of Calgary concert. Hann performed as though die hall was packed. His first album, Fine White Thread, featured die writing talents of Peter White, his creative partner. A while later, a friend and I were bound for Vancouver Island after a week of camping in die mountains, eating porcupine, picking huckleberries and generally enjoying an idyllic B.C. September. We were hitchhiking and busing our way west when we stopped over in Nelson to see if we could find jobs fighting forest fires. There were none, but it did give us a chance to relive die song, Workin' Up The Line, written by Peter White and performed by Paul Hann. "Caught die night-wind dirough die Crowsnest Pass Through die black snow land Down die Kootenay Valley headin' for the Old Slocan I was walkin' down on Baker Street in Nelson, B.C. When I chanced to see a friend of mine and a friend of mine saw me. "Got drunk for 14 days or more sittin' in die Queen's Hotel And I missed die job diey had for me, which is probably just as well." Sam and I pitched our tent in a public park, zipped our backpacks in, then headed up to Baker Street to find die queen's Hotel. It was pure serendipity, I'm sure, that Sam did chance to meet a friend and it made the beer in the Queen's hotel taste even better. We did not get drunk for 14 days or more, but we may have had a couple of beers more than absolutely necessary. It was years before I returned to Nelson, and longer before I finally visited Peter white's hometown of Kaslo. But the words to die chorus have been forever etched in my mind: "There was icy flames of silver snow that burned across the ground And I never left nodiin' behind me 'cept a drinkin' friend I found Saw sandstone skies and red- ribbon clouds sailin' to the sea And Lordy oh, well don't you know, I wish diem clouds was me."

They also appreciated die fact diat diey were able to deal widi only one company and more importantiy One person, other than die many subcontractors and trades which would have been especially difficult given die distances involved.

APRIL 21. 1994 CHRISTIANS IN MAINSTREAM !^^^ ^ ^p£j The "word" and the media examined 19 LANGLEY - Christian journalists working in mainstream media were encouraged last week to contend vigorously for an equal hearing for their worid view. In a conference at Trinity Western University, they heard from scholars as well as from print and broadcast journalists that the public has a right to hear the news from the perspective that four out of five Canadians believe: the Christian world view. p^ Radio producer Rob Gregory, who packages Family News in Focus news reports and commentaries heard on more than 1,100 US and 420 Canadian radio stations, quoted two statements by US television news anchor Ted Koppel: "In 1986," he reported. "Ted Koppel said, 'What is largely missing in American life today is any sense of context... No culture is so obsessed with immediacy and the trivial... we have become so obsessed with facts that we have lost all touch with truth... ^m 1988, Koppel'said, 'In its purest form, truth is not a polite tap on the shoulder; it is a howling reproach... "What Moses brought down from Sinai was not Ten Suggestions,' Koppel continues. 'They are commandments. 'Are', not 'were'." Gregory challenged Christian journalists to detect ways in which seeming "objectivity" can trap writers and broadcasters into compromising the truth. Freelance journalist Frank Buchhoiz, former editor of the Surrey Leader, later observed, "Rob really challenged us to iSok at more than two sides — to research more, ask more questions... and to point out the inconsistencies on the other side... to dig deeper and work harder." The first keynote speaker at the conference, Dr. Geri Forsberg of the TWU communications faculty, oudined in detail the differences between Oiristian and secular world-views. Dr. Don Page, TWU's vice- president for academic affairs and a former speech-writer and foreign policy expert for four Canadian prime ministers, oudined practical ways for Christian journalists to legitimately bring their world-view into their work. Workshops explored such' questions as how to make an impact through our work and at our workplace, how to handle sensitive material, integrity and ethics in the media, and interpersonal relationships with non-Christians at work. Introducing the theme of integrity, Barry McMaster, operations manager for Fraser Valley Broadcasting, said, "Each of us,, as members of Christ's church, is called personally to act with His integrity... Geri Forsberg talked about the need to speak the truth — truth equates to integrity." But he cited that can arise in Sub scoops up sunken treasure WASHINGTON - A secret fleet of American submarines has been scavenging ocean beds to survey, and sometimes retrieve, the high technology wreckage, left by deep sea military mishaps during the Cold War. The spy subs, equipped with remote control cameras and grabbing arms, have inspected the remains of lost ships, submarines, aircraft, missiles and nu- j jdear warheads, in some cases re-' covering sections from three miles down. - *jJ?et**t%^v JmzSsM managing a music radio station: "Suppose a hit record is on the chart, it's rising fast, and it fits your format — but the lyrics are sexually explicit. What do you do?" Rod Gunn, president of CKNW and CFMI, led one of two workshops on integrity in the media. He told participants that he sees mote integrity challenges in the business and marketing practices of media than in journalism and entertainment. Terry O'Neill, editor of British Columbia Report newsmagazine, urged Christian journalists to look for opportunities to restore awareness of the legitimacy of the Christian world view as a way to give context to the news events of the day. For example, he said, when reporting the story of heroic behavior, if the answer to the question, "What motivated you to be a hero?" is, "God," that should be reported, not hidden. Rob Gregory told the conference that an aggressively non- Christian world view dominates the media. He cited the studies of sociologists Robert and Linda Lichter and Stanley Rothman, which indicated that network news and program executives over whelmingly share the same mindset: 97 per cent are prO-abortion, 80 per cent consider homosexuality normal, and 51 per cent see nothing wrong with adultery. On the other hand, Christain values and convictions, which informed centuries of the Western world's intellectual and artistic achievements, are ridiculed or ignored. TWU president, Dr. Neil Snider told the conference, "This" university is not just offering our facilities to you — we welcome you with open anus!" Telling the journalists that TWU's vision is^to turn the culture around", Dr. Snider said achieving that goal requires "strategic placement of Christians in key centres that affect the culture... that's why we have a teacher education program... and a communications program... and programs in health care, like counselling psychology and nursing." Kevin Evans, anchorman on CBC-tv's^jSix O'clock News, moderated a wrap-up session using the 'arena' format he has often employed on television to explore controversial issues. 1 DR.

APRIL 21. 1994 A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Young volunteers gather ■ The agenda looked like .any other conference - some education sessions, a chance for self- development, and of course some fun. The participants, however, were younger than at most conferences. They were aged between 14 and 18 and their common link was that each of the almost 60 people in attendance volunteer tiieir time as Candy. Stripers or Cadets in one of five 'mid-valley hospitals. "This was a wonderful bunch of young people and they really made the most of die conference" explains Mrs. Helen Kirby, Director of Volunteers at Langley Memorial Hospital. "Our conference leaders made excellent presentations and provided these volunteers widi a great opportunity to learn." On hand for die one-day conference were Ms. Leesa Kelly, from RCMP Victims' Services, who opened some eyes as she explained to her audience die ways to predict or avoid violence. The young audience was very interested in learning about this unfortunate phenomenon and how to avoid becoming a victim Uiemselves. The session also alerted the group to the assistance available for those who find themselves in need of help. LMH's Paddy Straughan shared her expertise in the care of the elderly widi die conference participants, most of whom are closely involved with die residents of each hospital's extended care units. The conference, organized by LMH Volunteer Coordinator Margaret Eaton and Candy Striper volunteer coordinator, Mrs. Barbara Feldmann, had its lighter side. The theme and decorations were western, while line dancing lessons, given by father ■ and daughter team, Mr. Harold and Ms. Erin Goddard, were a popular draw. Candy Stripers and Cadets are welcome volunteers in most hospitals. They assist extended care residents, deliver flowers diroughout die hospital, assemble blank charts for new patients, and generally bring a cheerful endiusiasm to their volunteer efforts. Registration is held early each September. At any one time, LMH will have upwards of 100 candy stripers volunteering for a couple of hours once a week. KILLER'S ESCAPE "SERIOUS ERROR" Public inquiry demanded for corrections system VICTORIA - A independent public inquiry into the corrections system has been called for by Liberal critic Jeremy Dalton. Dalton's comments follow the release by die Attorney General of a report on the escape from prison of convicted killer Danny Perrault. "This report does not satisfy the public's concern as to why serious errors were made by Air Fair a partnership for families LANGLEY - The Langley Chamber of Commerce and Langley Aviation Council have formed a partnership to hosMlje Langley Air Fair at the Municipal Airport on Saturday June 18.

There is no charge for the public to attend die fair and the programs are designed to offer something for all ages. Organizers offer Langley businesses and crafts people die opportunity to set up displays of their products. Rates range from $50 to $150.

To register contact Lynn Whitehouse, Langley Chamber of Commerce, 530-665o. the Corrections Branch in the reclassification and subsequent escape of Perrault," stated Dalton. "There are serious problems widiin the Corrections Branch and in the Attorney General's ministry." Dalton said employees widiin the Corrections Branch have raised concerns over public safety, allegations of coverups and complaints of mismanagement. "The only way the Attorney General's ministry can allay public anxiety is for the Premier to appoint an independent public inquiry into this matter." Dalton maintains that die Perrault case is just die tip of die iceberg of many systemic problems that exist in the Attorney General's ministry and the correction system.

Business recycling to become mandatory BURNABY - Businesses will be required to separate and recycle a variety of materials if die GVRD's proposed waste management strategy is approved. Businesses would eidier separate die materials - such as paper, glass, plastics, and compostable organics - themselves, or hire private waste management firms to pick up die mixed recyclables for sorting at an offcsite recycling plant. ; Under die proposed strategy, which is currently up for public review prior to final presentation to die GVRD board of directors, all businesses would also be required to conduct simple waste inventories and large businesses would be required to prepare waste reduction plans. Disposal bans or restrictions on the disposal of designated recyclable or compostable materials, higher tipping fees for disposal of waste from industry and businesses, and tipping fee surcharges would be phased in over time as processing technologies and markets evolve. Community meetings, where representatives from business and members of die public can comment on the proposed strategy, will be held on Saturday, April 23 at die Robson Square from 9 a.m. to 3 pni.; on Tuesday, April 26 at die Coquidam Best ^Xestern Inn from 7-10 p.m.; and on Thursday, April 28 at die Surrey Inn, from 7 - 10 p.m. Copies of the strategy are available from die Solid '■X&ste Management Plan Review office at 451-6040.

New MPs fight over furnishings OTTAWA - New Refgrm MPs are finding it hard to track down all the office equipment diat should have been left behind by retiring NDP and Tory MPs. Contentious items include fax machines, computers, TVs and furniture diat were purchased by die Crown for use by politicians. Fraser \fclley W;st MP Randy White had to have lawyers intervene to have former MP Bob Wenman return a few items, including a TV and leadier sofa, said White last week. Wenman said diat he disputed die ownership of die items as he believed he had purchased diem with his own money. Realtors take to new computer system in cold-turkey approach SURREY - Between March 8 and 31, die more than 3,100 realtors in the Fraser Villey underwent training in preparation for a new technological advance in dieir industry. Then on April 12, die Fraser Valley Real Estate Board switched over to a new on-line computer system diat will enable member realtors' computers to access colour pictures of die listed properties for sale on die Multiple Listing System. Currendy all realtors, with a computer and modem, can access data regarding properties listed for sale through die MLS. The data is kept in die mainframe computer at die Fraser Valley Real Estate Board offices and is accessed dirough a 72-line telephone system. However, real estate agents can only access text - no visuals. As of April 12, the Stellar system will allow realtors to get die picture as well. They will be able to download die pictures to dieir own computers from a brand new, UNIX-based, state-of-die-art system with 106 telephone lines. Many realtors have been purchasing equipment capable of displaying and printing colour images in preparation for this technology coming on stream. "Tlie Stellar system will signifi- candy change die way we do business," says board president Ruth Boulton. "Realtors will be able to print full-colour portfolios of available properties for dieir clients. Realtors widi laptop computers will be able to go to buyers' homes and show them colour pictures of properties on the market as of diat day." Eventually each listing will include up to eight photos. "Widi more visual information about die listings, buyers will be able to narrow dieir choice of homes diey wish to personally visit. The search for the perfect home will be faster and easier for bodi buyers and agents." Along with die increased power, options and capabilities of Stellar, comes li obmpletely new computer program which realtors must leani. On April 12 die old system, affectionately dubbed "FRED" (for Fraser Valley Real Estate Board Data) will cease to exist. "We were able to learn from the Ottawa Real Estate Board's experience in going over to Stellar. They maintained a parallel system for two weeks. It put diem too far behind and customer service suffered. It may seem harsh, but experience has proven diat it's better to go cold-turkey," says Boulton.

' :i|| fBJfipl #"^"#j pall renovations bring a break 1 By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - I diought diis week was to be my spring break, since all activities at die hall were cancelled for die floor renovation. However, diere are a couple of items I have been asked to mention. Next Sunday April 24 is die Pot Luck at the hall beginning at 5:30 p.m. Don't forget dishes and cutlery. Monday April 25 is the Choral Group annual conceit at the OAP hall beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Choral Group needs your support. This week Connie Johnston called to say she had a letter from Adeline Wright's daughter telling of her modier's death. I'm sure Adeline will be remembered by many OAP members. Our sympa- diy goes to her family in Saskatchewan, Adeline had been residing there for die last few years. All activities at die hall will resume this week and diings will be back to normal. I had a preview peek at die floor and it looks great. It's been a busy week for die Choral Group, two engagemef|r§P as well as a practice this week. Thanks to Phyllis and Cliarlie Delves we were able to meet at dieir house for our weekly prac tice. The Anne Murray concert at die Orpheum theatre diis week was excellent. I heard the Saturday evening concert at die United Church was most enjoyable too. I'm sorry I missed it. Dances as usual diis week. Here's a thought, "Age isn't important unless you're cheese.'' Dear Annabelle, I have a friend, I'll call him Art (not his real name), who has a definite problem widi his eating habits. When he was in high school he weighed a reasonable amount, no more nor less than he should. Art did not take part in school sports but preferred to sit quiedy and read. Since high school he has continued to do this but while he is reading - he eats;'^d eats, and eats. Art now weighs close to 300 lbs. He cannot find a shirt that will close at the neck and buying any kind of pants is almost impossible. He has told me that he is on a diet but when I asked him what he had for breakfast diat morning he said, "die usual, diree fried eggs and a package of perogies.". What can I do about his dreadful eating habits? By die way we are getting married in May. Signed: Susan. Dear Susan, Upon noticing diat you have included your wedding almost as an after-diought, why don't you and Art postpone die wedding for a year while he loses Plants for school ALDERGROVE - The Community Secondary School hostir'their first annual Spring Bedding Plant Sale, Saturday, April 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A wide variety;^; plants is offered in die fundraiser, from geraniums to tomatoes and more.

Stafy beside him and give. hi*n die encouragement he needs to shed his excess poundage. If he can't do it in a year and you do get married, I'm afraid you may find yourself a young widow, in a short"-ipSefiod of time. *&*$ * ♦ ♦ Dear Annabelle, My husband, hates cats. I mean he HATES cats! It is driving me crazy die way he goes on, espe- cially at diis time of year. There are cats all over our street; it seems everyone on the block owns one or more cats. Except, of course, us. Now that my husband is putting in his garden he complains constandy about the mess die cats are making of his newly dug ground and frankly I can't take it any more. Now he is talking about buying an air rifle and shooting the cats that he sees. He doesn't care whedier diey are in or out of our yard. He says he is just going to keep blasting away until he has done for every cat on the street. Signed: Help me before it's too late. Dear Help me, Tell your husband to try a garden shop and ask for some stuff diat is supposed to repel animals from your garden. However, friends of mine tried it and it seemed to attract even more cats to their garden! Maybe someone out there hasS^iOme ideas. (Readers!) An air rifle does seem a mite on the dangerous side. Your neighbours may take up the hunt themselves and bag your husband.

Despite his strangled Kiwi vowels, the meaning was clear: You could stick deregulation, it meant too much competition. A decade ago, taxis here were among the most expensive in the world. Now, not only are there plenty Yflf* reasonably-priced taxis widi poorer drivers, but die economyh has developed the world's fastest growth and slowest price rises. New Zealand also has a trade surplus (including one with Japan) and a government about to balance die books. Spectators witnessed the unusual show of a finance minister admitting diat he painted too gloomy a picture of prospects when his government was seeking reelection late last fall. The leader of die leftwing New Zealand First party is jeered at by students, after he promised them bigger grants. It sounds like an antipodian fantasy. How on earth have diey done it? The story starts 14 years ago, when a cocky 43-year-old Labor MP called Roger Douglas published an irritating little paperback widi a bilious yellow cover that shouted There's Got to be a Better Way! In 1980, New Zealand was reeling from die twin effects of Britain's entry into the European Market - which had destroyed the protection of the UK market for its butter and lamb - and Robert Muldoon's National (Conservative) administration which regulated everytiiing and pretended diat nothing had changed.. The country which had enjoyed the world's third highest standard of living in 1950 was only barely clinging on to die top 20. In 1984, Muldoon was dirown out, replaced by a Labor government. Roger Douglas found himself finance minister in an administration faced widi a slumping currency and a runaway government deficit. His book advocates scrapping controls and subsidies, and he did just diat, starting widi die pampered agricultural sector, die mainstay of the country's economy. Widi just six months notice, all price controls and support mechanisms were to be scrapped, despite warnings diat a tendi of New Zealand's 60,000 farmers would be ruined. In fact, only 1,500 failed, and diis cold-bath capitalism was extended to most parts of tiie- economy, earning die nickname of Rogernomics. Perhaps as befits such an ugly word, the pain was acute. In 1987 inflation reached 20 percent. and so did die mortgage rate. Still, successive governments, both Labor and National, stuck to die policies, despite die constitutional requirement for elections every diree years. The Reserve Bank Act of 1989 -gave die government the power to fix a target rate for inflation, but passed die responsibility of implementing it on to die National Bank, as a result, says Arthur Grimes, chief economist of die National Bank of New Zealand (part of Lloyd's Bank) "for 40 years, everyone would lobby die government for funds for tiieir pet projects. But you can't lobby die Reserve Bank, so die politicians are stuck/ Some see Grimes as a future bank governor. The present governor, Don Brash, is convinced that die discipline on inflation effectively extends to fiscal policy too. He says: "The government could change die inflation target to accommodate more spending, but can you imagine die impact on die bond market?" Labor took the axe to farming and industry supports. When die party lost power in 1990, die National Party carried die same policy to the labor and financial markets and to government spending. In each case, die party in power effectively stole die traditional ideological clodies of the odier. Rudi Richardson, die National government finance minister, proved she could outdo Rogernomics. The tax structure is suitably, rudilessly simple. The top rate of income tax is 33 percent, but there are virtually no allowances, not even for pension contributions. The general sales tax (VAT in all but name) is levied on virtually everytiiing, including domestic fuel, water and even council taxes, at die single rate of 12.5 percent. Driven by increasing competition as tariff walls have been dismantled, manufacturers have been forced to become efficient. Manufactured exports have rise by a half in five years, and companies are starting to take on labor as expansion replaces cost- cutting. Bond yields (and hence borrowing costs) are below American levels. The local economists are having to continually raise dieir estimates of economic growdi, and even die pessimists expect five percent diis year, while inflation remains around one percent. White House tries to nix Toronto "Clinton" ads TORONTO - "Noooo body" has lower prices on furniture and appliances in die United States and Canada dian Bad Boy. Who says? Bill Clinton says. Well, not really Bill Clinton. A Bill Clintonlike person, actually, hired by Bad Boy Furniture and Appliances. The Toronto discounter has been running print and television ads featuring endiusiastic endorsements from die ersatz Clinton since January, according to Blayne Lastman, Bad Boy's president and public embodiment. "I'm saving a fortune here today on furniture for our litde White HouseiS^That's why I came from America to Canada to shop at Bad Boy," avers Tim Watters, a Florida real estate salesman who has launched a new career as Clinton's spit and image. When a voice asks, "Who's better for furniture and appliances?" die pseudo-Clinton and Lastman reply in unison, thumbs cocked, "Nooo body." Tellingly, in this midsize country awash in American culture, it did not occur to Lastman to hire a professional impersonator of Jean Chretien. But dien, Clinton is more a bad boy kind of guy than Chretien. . After a delay occasioned, perhaps, by more pressing business., i*Jnd die certainty of sounding humorless, die White House legal office has just served Lastman with a written admonition to "cease and desist all unauthorized uses of die likeness of die president of die United States of America in advertising of commercial services or products." This in a letter from Marvin Krislov, special counsel to die real president. "We're not going to let die president get away widi it," blares Lastman. "No way! Where does die United states get off? We're not die 51st state. He's just trying to protect die U.S. furniture and appliance industry. But Bad Boy won't be beat No way!" Lastman fumes on demand, but over the telephone you can hear the smile of a man catching a windfall of publicity he never could have purchased. Or diat he did purchase, at a bargain price. The 32-year-old Lastman's diree stores are in die Toronto area, and his is nearly as familiar a face on local television as Clinton's. His fadier, Mel Lastman, is die high-profile mayor of nearby North York, Ontario, and he too appears in the Bad Boy commercials. Blayne Lastman doesn't sound repentant. "I will not cave," he says. Others have. Arthur Jones of die White House Press Office says, "We have had success with pretty much all of die odier merchants who have received letters asking them to help us maintain die dignity of this office." As a Canadian business, however, Bad Boy is presumably not as susceptible to presidential jawboning. 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. APRIL 21. 1994 or extra nne ormd.
