asss i#*MfMi a FINNING PLANS IN tHEWOMKS 1,000 jobs coming ALDERGROVE - A billion-dollar Canadian industry employing some 1,000 people will be relocating in north Aldergrove if they can receive township council's "expeditious" blessing. The Finning tractor company plans to develop a 70-acre site inside the Gloucester industrial park as their new world-wide headquarters, company spokesman Lyle Norlander announced Monday night. Finning chose the Gloucester site because it was the only one meeting all company requirements as to accessibility, he said. It can easily be reached by trucks and trains, by air, and by barge (in the nearby Fraser River). Over the remainder of this decade, a number of buildings and a helicopter landing pad will be erected on the site between 268 Street and 272 Street, according to the company's submitted plans. Finning sells and services Caterpillar tractors all over the world. Plans show an attractive industrial development blending in well with the surrounding countryside, and Norlander promised that all environmental concerns would be met in regards to noise and chemical pollution No pollutants will be permitted to enter the air or the headwaters of the West Creek which run through the property; he said, using a report prepared by an environmental group as backup for the claim. Norlander said the company in cooperation with the fisheries ministry would even "enhance the creek to encourage spawning of salmon of which there are currently traces of Coho and Chum species."

Industrial land owners complain of rising costs ALDERGROVE - Taxes are going up and up and they can't sell their properties, individual land owners inside the perimeter of the Gloucester industrial park complain. When the 640-acre park was rezoned for industrial use, a few land-locked properties remained in the agricultural reserve. Now the owners say they don't know what to do. Three of them were at council meeting in Murrayville Monday night listening to what a major industrial developer had to say. Game farm to hearing MURRAYVILLE - It is "not in the spirit" of a zoological garden to have camping facilities and video arcades on the grounds, Aid. Muriel Arnason said Monday night She said she would be voting against an application from Aldergrove's Vancouver Game Farm for an expansion permit that would allow for such innovations. Aid. John Campbell said he "sympathized" with the owners of the game farm and realized that revenues from such new attractions might be needed to help pay for a much needed upgrade to the wild animal park. But he still had to vote against the proposal. .Aldermen have been against the idea of transforming the zoo into "another PNE." "Something has to be done to upgrade (the game farm)," said Aid. Steve Ferguson. Aldermen nevertheless voted to proceed to a public hearing, with Arnason and Campbell expressing their opposition. They asked council to grant them industrial land use designation as well. "We will have to sell well below market value (as compared to Gloucester)," complained Chris Gordon. She asked for immediate consideration of their rezoning request "As it is, we are forced to stay," said John Welch. "We can't sell our- properties, and we can't afford the taxes." He said he bought the property in 1986 for the rural lifestyle and that his tax assessment now has risen to $450,000. Township planner Kurt Alberts said any property owner could apply for rezoning. "But as of now, we have no applications for ALR release before us." The property owners have been told that if they want to share in the industrial land bonanza they will also have to pay their share of the huge infrastructure cost. VOL.34 NO.14 THURSDAY. APRIL 16.1992 40 CENTS Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 COMMISSION HAS CHANGE OF HEART Aldergrove bingo hall gets a "yes"vote ALDERGROVE - Bingo is a "go" for this community, after all. The provincial gaming commission has given its blessing to a licence for the proposed operation at Aldergrove Mall. Backed by 34 local charities, the Alder Mall Bingo Hall is scheduled to open its doors to the gaming public in about eight weeks, just in time for the Aldergrove Festival Days. Spokespeople for the charities involved all expressed delight with the news. A review panel of chairman Richard Macintosh, Vicki Kuh! and Monica Becott released their decision, Friday, to allow a somewhat downscaled operation to go ahead on a one- year trial basis. The licence will allow 17 games per week, rather than the four per day (28 per week) proposed by the Aldergrove Bingo Association. It will be closely monitored by the gaming branch, "and shall only be increased upon evidence of sufficient increased player demand." The association will operate one afternoon game and one evening game Monday to Thursday, and three daily games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Investors, Oyer Holdings Ltd. will hire experienced bingo manager Don Currie as consultant for one year, as part of the revised proposal. In the agreement, Cryer Holdings will be liable for all rental obligations and the $250,000 investment to install necessary equipment The charities are guaranteed Star closed for Good Friday ALDERGROVE - The offices of The Aldergrove Star will be closed for holidays on Good Friday, but will be open as usual on Easter Monday. Advertising and news deadlines are not affected by the one day closing. minimum 25 percent returns on each game, and in their novel proposal, will share equally in the pooled proceeds. The way in which this will work is that each charity is to provide volunteers for their shift, and of the 25 percent share they earn, they will immediately receive three-fifths of it and the other two-fifths will be pooled for a monthly share to be divided equally among the 34 charity groups. This system was devised by the Aldergrove Bingo Association so that the charities working the less-profitable shifts would not be at a financial disadvantage to those having the shifts with bigger crowds. The commission expressed their interest in and approval of the pooling concept, and will be assessing its success. Depending on the hall's success, the charities can receive more than the minimum 25 percent. About 55 to 60 percent is paid out in prizes, two percent goes to the province, 6.5 percent to rental and eight percent to management. Association president Fred Zaharia said the hall capacity of 400 players will be split in half for the non-smoking section which he believes will bring in many who are unable to bear cigarette smoke. He said that many of Pioneer Village's 500 residents came to the opening of the Veterans' Association Friday night bingo but never returned because of the foul air. That bingo brings out about 60 people, and the Legion Tuesday night bingo attracts about 80. "They reckon that 90 percent of bingo players are smokers, but only about 20 percent of the general population smokes so it should be the other way around. With the equipment we're installing, we should start attracting those who don't smoke," said Zaharia. "And with bigger prizes (than currently offered at Aldergrove bingos) we should have at least 200 people a night to start with."

APRIL 16. 1992 1 Langley rejects Korean university proposal By RUDY LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - The whole idea appeals to them. Or at least, so they say. But when it comes to express faith in a group of Korean-Canadian businessmen in building a university campus in north Aldergrove, Langley township councilors have turned thumbs down. It cannot be done, the aldermen say, because the chosen location is in the agricultural area in "a remote" part of the municipality. There are no water and sewer facilities available. And the hillside above the Fraser River plain does not meet the township's criteria for long-term planning. The chosen site was not their idea. Acreage overlooking the Glen Valley east of County Line Road has been owned for many years by a group of Vancouver businessmen. A few months ago they presented their preliminary architectural plans for a 1,500 - student university campus to Canadian officials. The idea was embraced by local member of Pariiament, Bob Wenman and other political leaders. It seemed to be smooth sailing ahead for the project. Then it reached local council. They pondered and pontificated. They contemplated and conferred, and in the end decided to tell the university proponents that the idea was sound but that another location should be sought. Somewhere near one of the urban centers. It did not help that the would-be builders of the proposed new Pacific Rim University assured councilors that they would solve all the problems of creating an infrastructure' to take care of servicing needs for the campus. Roads, water supply lines and sewage disposal. The works. A site should be found that would be "consistent with" municipal land use policies, councilors said. "The (chosen) site is just not acceptable," said Aid. Aubrey Searle. Another councilor, Aid. Steve Ferguson concurred. And this past ^ Monday night, councilors went on record as supporting the concept but ruling out the location. Two other aldermen tried to soften the blow on the people with the dream: John Scholtens by adding a clause to the rejection bid urging that relocation be to an undisclosed site "in or adjacent to Aldergrove", and John Campbell by warning that council's action could very well result in Langley completely "missing the opportunity" for a second Fraser Valley university within its borders. One can speculate on what would have happened if during the early part of this century the town fathers in Point Grey had come up with similar arguments when UBC was first proposed, or what would have transpired if Gordon Shrum and W.A.C. Bennett had been less tenacious when the university on the Burnaby Mountain was still a pipe dream. Probably, British Columbia would not have had an institution for higher learning to this day. As it was, the two 'universities were build and are still functioning well in all respects. Today we have an advantage over the past in that we have all sorts of environmental guidelines and policy requirements that must be. met. before any development can take place. We have a vast bureaucracy of environmentalists, biologists, medical engineers and enforcers who see to it that little if nothing is done in a manner harmful to the public welfare, and one wonders if these many bureaus couldn't take care of whether or not it would be environmentally feasible and sound to build a new university in a "renlote" panagopoulos Pizza place fev NOWi OPEN! 1 4 MARS BARS 2 ll LITRES OF i COCA-COLA 2 _$ai MEDIUM PIZZAS WITH 1m|i 2 TOPPINGS PICKUP PRICE $15.29 DELIVERED $17.29 l Q£.T.notkK*ided. &pire»8n<lo(Afrt. j 857-2300 Countryside Shopping Centre 27520 Fraser Highway Aldergrove.

Environment concerns ALDERGROVE - Spokesman for a north Aldergrove environmental group Al Grant says it is important that the "small, fragile but important (West) creek" be kept pollution free. Grant told the audience at a Langley township council meeting Monday night that he hoped all efforts by his group, the fisheries ministry and developers inside the Gloucester industrial park to keep the river clear and fish bearing "will be worthwhile." He said it was not absolutely clear to him that all pollutants would be held back before runoff waters were allowed to enter the stream.

The trio is believed to be the same that carried out four armed robberies in the lower mainland over the past month. These include the Delta Credit Union, Langley, April 6; the Royal Bank, Coquitlam, April 3; the Canada Trust, Langley, March 30; and the Bank of Nova Scotia, Langley, March 18. *f " During the holdups, the masked men armed with shotguns and automatic weapons, have assaulted staff and customers, robbed the banks as well as customers, and discharged weapons.

Seminar organizers, Langley township's economic development commission, estimated the 1990 value of the local industry at $40-million and 7,000 horses, and most of that in the Aldergrove area. The commission hopes to see this industry expand. -Tim Attwood photo VICTORIA - The provincial review of proposed golf course developments, all held in moratorium since November, was completed on April 3- Five Langley applications and one Abbotsford application are among the 60 to be denied permission to proceed, said agriculture minister Bill Barlee. However, another three in Abbotsford and Langley have been granted permission to go ahead, and one in Aldergrove will "require the setting of terms and conditions." Applications which Will go ahead are from Bill Mawhinney, 36036 South Parallel Road, Abbotsford; Crimson Poultry Ranch Ltd., 1543 - 264 Street, Aldergrove; and Mel Bar Ranches Ltd., 4686 - 216 Street, Murrayville. Bariee said these were among 42 applications, "which had already met or exceeded third reading in local government rezoning approval processes, or did not require any such approvals for the golf course component." A condition of release is that development must be substantially completed within 24 months, or that the ALC believes that applicant has taken all reasonable steps to do so. Many of the 60 which were rejected had already been refused by, or did not have approvals from local government. The application from Robert and Elizabeth Hall, 441 - 272 Street, Aldergrove, will have terms and conditions set by the Agricultural Land Commission. The commission is committed to resolving these requirements for the Halls and five other B.C. applicants within a month. In all cases, golf courses will remain in the land reserve, and all developments must meet provincial and municipal requkements. No compensation will be paid to those who've been denied permission to proceed. "All future decisions regarding such developments will be in the hands of the ALC and I am confident that the commission will be vigilant in the protection of our farmland," said Barlee.

APRIL 16. 1992 Unprecedented growth Editor, The Star.Sir, The Fraser Valley area in B.C. is experiencing unprecedented • growth. Newcomers flock here for the area's beauty, services, safety, mild weather and "healthy" environment. Growth is to be expected, and if handled wisely, appreciated. However, growth is being ignored in the area of public transportation, and because of that our ^ former healthy environment is being massacred. Preventative medicine is of prime J* importance. If. we continue" to ignore what we are doing to the air we breathe, we will continue to fuel escalating health costs. Doctors in. the Fraser. Valley are heavy billers of the provincial system. This billing is hardly the fault of the doctors - they are simply seeing more and more patients who want to know why they are feeling so miserable. Talk to Fraser Valley doctors, they will tell you of an increase in asthma sufferers (particularly in the 50+ age group). They will Not proper Editor, The Star, Sir, It has been brought to our attention that some young people have been going door-to- door soliciting cash donations for Aldergrove Minor Baseball. This action is not sanctioned by the association. Anyone approached in this manner is asked to contact Langley RCMP. 532-3200 (complaints). Please be aware that A.M.B.A. supplement funding comes from legitimate corporate sponsorship and Scratch 'n Win "Grand Slam" ticket sales. JOHNMcKEIGAN President, A.M.B.A. report asthma sufferers who are having to increase their medication to achieve the same effect. You will hear of an increase in respiratory complaints, headaches, migraines, allergies, ear-aches, and sore throats. Others have vague neurological complaints that indicate damage to the nervous system. Do we have to wait for genetically damaged babies to do something about the complaints? Am I a victim of panic? As defined as "terror, alarm, distraction", yes I am. I lived for five years in a state of limbo (akin to walking in a fog) that I can now link to the venting of a carcinogen in the Langley area. I have a hard time believing I can trust the people we pay to take care of our needs and services. We simply cannot continue to ignore what we are doing to the air that we breathe. Recognize the slimy residue on car windshields, take a finger to the scum on the birdbaths or any water left to sit outside, question the source of the grit we daily wash out of our hair. This same greasy residue, scum and grit is . polluting our innards. This is not "clean" dirt — this is chemical residue and exhaust from gasoline driven vehicles. This is a problem specific to the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley of B.C. It is, however, costing the whole of B.C. millions of dollars in health care costs and lower productivity in its workers. Since it is a problem that affects several fronts in which the provincial government accepts responsibility — health, environment, economy — I request immediate intervention. REGINA DALTON Abbotsford Newregulations welcomed Editor, the Star, Sir, The recent announcement by Health Minister Elizabeth Cull ensuring the women of B.C. access to abortion services on a regional basis, and her later statement that she wants to fast-track a plan to have hospital boards elected by all members of the public, were hailed as a step in the right direction by the Langley Committee for Quality Healthcare. The new regulations include financing for the Everywoman's Health Centre and the Elizabeth Bagshaw Women's Clinic, financing of. education and information programs and establishment of a task force on access to both contraception and abortion. The Committee for Quality Health Care was formed in 1988 by Langley residents alarmed at the interference of medical care by the single issue no-choice board, and the unresponsive attitude of the board to the community. The CQHC has served mainly in a watchdog role over Langley Memorial Hospital while also providing education, information, - constructive criticism, and encouraging the people of Langley to become involved with the affairs of the hospital. On the issue of abortion, the committee has always maintained that the decision about this legal procedure must be left between a patient and their doctor, and that this right to choose for themselves must not be denied by any religious or political groups. Although Langley Memorial Hospital is not at present on the list of hospitals ordered to provide abortion services, the CQHC views the government announcement as a positive move, and it looks forward to the next steps in the process to make hospitals more accountable and responsive to the public it serves. These steps include Langley Memorial Hospital's providing access to abortion services and having hospital board members elected democratically by municipal style elections. Cull's original target for this type of election were the 1993 municipal elections, however, she now feels the need to accelerate this plan to an earlier date. At present the board is elected only by Langley Memorial Hospital Society members. TRUUS BIRZA For CQHC, Langley Our rights violated despite rules Editor, The Star, Sir, The Quebec Superior Court, the Quebec Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada have all ruled that the Quebec government, in implementing Bill 178 (the nothing-but-French sign law), has violated human rights guaranteed under provincial and federal Charters — Bill 178 violates the right to freedom of expression. The United Nations' Human Rights Committee has also found Quebec's language legislation reprehensible and has placed Canada under indictment for violating UN human rights resolutions. Canada was given until December 15, 1991 to respond to the committee's charges; the Canadian government has yet to do so. The Quebec government legally circumvented the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling by invoking the "notwithstanding" clause of Canada's 1982 Constitutional Amendment. After doing so, Premier Bourassa made an announcement; in effect, he said that if Quebec had previously been recognized in Canada's Constitution as a "distinct society" then the Supreme Court "would not have rendered such a ruling because distinct society status Artists will come here Editor, The Star, Sir, The Outreach Department of Emily Carr College of Art and Design has an offer for residents of the Fraser Valley area. We would like to bring one or more professional artists to your community, to teach weekend workshops next fall and winter. We have artists skilled in printmaking, drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, colour, design, art history and other topics, such as business skills, framing, and video fundamentals, who would be happy to share their expertise with interested people in Aldergrove. All we need' is an expression of interest from someone in your community, who would be willing to help coordinate the workshops. We will take care of all travel and accommodation arrangements. The workshops we offer are part of our mandate to provide quality visual arts instruction to people throughout BC. The artist-teachers and workshops available to Aldergrove are described in the ECCAD Artist-Teacher Catalogue, available in community college centres, college and public libraries throughout the province. We invite interested people in the Fraser Valley area to make selections from the list, and using the request form provided, submit them to the local college centre continuing education office, or call us for further information. In addition to weekend workshops, we are prepared to arrange special pre-art-college courses, or an artist-in-residence program in Aldergrove. Courses in marketing art, portfolio preparation, and several visual arts telecourses are also available. Outreach workshops can be scheduled in October and November 1992, and February and March 1993. Details are available at community college continuing education offices, art organizations or ECCAD, 1399 Johnston Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6H 3R9, 687-2345, FAX 844-3801. Workshop requests must be received at ECCAD by May 15. JUDITH O'KEEFE Program Director ECCAD. Outreach^ ~_~ t would have given his government a free hand to preserve and promote the French language and culture as the government saw fit. The Quebec government can only hide behind the "notwithstanding" clause for about two more years — the clause has effect for only five years after being invoked. Unless Quebec attains distinct society status before 1994 its government will have to invoke the clause again or face more court challenges ... it is to avoid such an eventuality, and be free to impose other repressive measures on its minorities, that Quebec insists so adamantly on being constitutionally recognized as a distinct society. Quebec's language legislation has created three classes of citizens in our country: 3RD-CLASS — all Quebecers who are denied freedom of expression in their language of choice, particularly so in English, Canada's major official language; 2ND-CLASS — French-speaking Quebecers who are denied freedom to learn and freely use Canada's major official language, English, which also happens to be the #1 language of the world; 1ST-CLASS — Canadians outside of Quebec who are free to use any language they wish. Granting Quebec distinct society status would be tantamount to condoning and authorizing current and, probably, future human rights violations. If you believe, as I do, that such an eventuality would be totally unacceptable, then I urge you to denounce, in the strongest way possible, those eager to grant Quebec distinct society status and thus make a mockery of the Canadian people's constitution.

The use of taxpayer's money to put forward the unsubstantiated views of a few ambitious, journalists who rewrite history according to their own prejudices is highly questionable.

HOPKINS Aldergrove 125 local youths head for Quebec summer ALDERGROVE - One hundred and twenty-five young people from the area will celebrate Canada's 125th birthday in a unique fashion this summer thanks to the largesse of Air Canada. Fraser Valley West riding has been twinned with a Montreal suburb, the riding of Ahuntsic, for the Voyageurs Canada '92 program. There will be 125 people, aged 16 to 21, who will get a week's vacation in the Montreal area, through the exchange program. They will travel in groups of ten along with a supervisor. Air Canada has donated 125 return tickets to each of the country's 295 federal ridings, and the department of the .Secretary of the State and the 295 MP's are administering the celebratory program. Since the room and board is provided in exchange by the participants of the twinned ridings, there is no cost to the government, and participants must only provide thek own spending money. Local MP Bob Wenman has applications available at his office to Canadian citizens and landed immigrants between the ages of 16 and 21, as of July 1, 1992. Deadline for applications is midnight, May 8. Billed as the largest youth exchange program in the nation's history, it gives the opportunity to broaden horizons. "This is a special year for Canada and a good opportunity for young Canadians to find out more about their country. Canada is so vast, and home to so many different people with different cultures, that we should make a special effort to learn all we can about our fellow citizens and our country," said Wenman. "The more we know about each other, the better we'll understand each other. And that will strengthen our country." Wenman's office is located at 3085 - 271 Street, call 856-0878. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. APRIL 16. 1992 Competition urged for long-distance calling IT'S ALRIGHT: BURN THAT FENCE Would that we all have such major problems MURRAYVILLE - People in the audience snickered while council members here argued a very weighty issue Monday night: whether or not a. Langley hobby farmer should be allowed to get rid of an old fence by burning it. "Poor Mr. Qough," said Aid. John Scholtens. "What can he do?" Some councilors demanded that the matter be referred to the township's environmental committee for a decision. Other aldermen countered that with the schedule of this committee it would be doubtful if a decision for or against the burning could be reached this year. Aid. Aubrey Searle said he had looked at the fence and could; assure council that "it is not a Ponderosa." According to the owner, the controversy stem? from the replacement of about 90 feet of horse corral fence. The old wood could probably be disposed of on a dry day within a couple of hours, said Mayor John Beales. In the end, councilors said F.W. Qough could go ahead. The audience cheered. ALDERGROVE - Competition in long-distance calling will not mean higher fees for local telephone services, a consultant to Unitel told the April 8 meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Jim McDaniel, now in his 70s, started out as a young delivery boy on a bike for CN-CP's telegraph division, worked his way up to management, and with its merger with Unitel, came out of retirement to help it with its application to the CRTC for competition in long distance calling. He insisted that competition only brought the price to the consumer down, pointing to Ma Bell's previous losses of thek monopoly on telephone units and the facsimile routing system. Persons can now own thek phones, and can send faxes through Unitel, and this has not increased the price of local calling even though the telephone companies told the CRTC that it would. He also noted that this competitive pressure meant that the telephone companies increased hiring and choice of phone styles for thek phone stores. Unitel's entry into Fax Route service brought the price of faxes Jim McDaniel spoke on the benefits of competition in the phone industry, at the April 8 Chamber of Commerce meeting. down, and the telephone companies responded with similar services at similar prices. He said Unitel's entry into the long distance market would bring similar savings to consumers and would also make business here competitive with U.S.A., Europe and Japan, where they have also deregulated the -telephone monopoly.

Teachers Neil Brown, Glenn Whittington, and players from Aldergrove Secondary will be providing basic fundamentals to the first 100 registered students. This is a great opportunity for students to have fun, develop their fundamental skills, play games, and meet new friends. The majority of the students will be from the elementary feeder schools in the Aldergrove area. The fee for the five week program is $40. This is a bargain as the child will get a $25. basketball to keep, a quality T- shirt, posters, daily awards, coaching and games. Our goal is to give each student the opportunity to learn the game and develop a positive attitude about themselves and toward other players. Many of the secondary students that will be coaching at the camp are living proof of the success of the Litde Dribblers. Whittington, the senior boys coach, and Brown, the junior boys coach at Aldergrove Secondary, both had several players who went through the Mini-Dribbler program. The success of the program can be shown by pointing out that this year's grade eight teams, both boys and girls, won their league championships for the district of Langley. Most of the players on both of these two championship teams had been "mini-dribblers". Because of space, the program can only accommodate the first 50 students that register for the grade 4 & 5 session, and the first 50 students that register for the grade 6 & 7 session. Space is filling quickly, so register soon. Your elementary school has registration forms or contact Neil Brown or Glenn Whittington at Aldergrove Secondary at 856-2521. The sessions are as follows: every Monday and Wednesday from April 27 to May 27 (10 sessions). Times: Session 1 - Grade 4 & 5 (boys & girls) 3:00 - 4:00. Session 2 - Grade 6 & 7 (boys & girls) 4:15 - 5:15- All parents are encouraged to come cheer and support your aspiring hoopster.

APRIL 16. 1992 By GEORGE GREATBANKS ALDERGROVE - Yet another soccer season has drawn to a close and preparations for season 1992/93 are well underway in the offices of the Aldergrove Soccer Club. It was a banner year for most Aldergrove's "Travelling" teams, but for the Hawks of Division 5 Bronze, sponsored by Langley Chrysler, 1991/92 was full of bittersweet memories of what should have been, could have been, and of what wasn't. Favored by many to lift the league tide after finishing second in '90/91, the Hawks started with a flourish. They held an undefeated record from September until mid-January, when they were struck by the everpresent flu bug that sapped the strength of some key players and rendered others unfit to play. Their league and cup hopes went into the tank, as during this trying period they lost their only two league games of the season and lost the chance of a league tide, and were unceremoniously dumped from cup play. The resulting sagging morale took all the wiles of the coaching staff to correct. But still, second in their division was something to be proud of, "There's always next year". Where have we heard that one before? The teams' overall improvement was readily apparent to all who followed the Hawks' fortunes and if they continue to work hard at their TEAM game, good things will happen. A couple of weeks ago, the Hawks players, siblings and parents got together for the annual awards picnic, which was a time to honour those players who exemplified tireless effort, unselfish dedication and overall personal improvement. The "Leading Goal Scorer" award went to Alan "Captain Q" Quadling, who notched a phenomenal 42 markers, plus which, his fellow team members voted htm the "Most Valuable Player". The coaching staff gave their own MVP award to Ryan "Wheels" Carey, who was often the provider for Quadling, yet still managed to improve on his own tally. The newly instituted "Unsung Hero" award was given to a player who, game in and game out, provided his own brand of excellence in helping anchor a stingy defense, that player was Tom Kettering, who is rarely seen without his Cheshire Cat grin. The "Most Improved Player" award, the unanimous choice of coaches and parents, went to Matt Hamilton, who showed the mental development that separates the average player from the very good ones. His uncanny knack of coming "late", on the "blind side" of a defense, led to him notching 15 goals, which included "Hat-tricks" in the first and last league games. There was also a lot of support for the players provided by the parents, in particular Liz Hamilton, Myra Quadling and our "Orange Lady" Pam Muzio. All three ladies taking a great deal of the communication load off the coaching staff. Furthermore, Liz and Jim Hamilton opened their home to the team and their families for the awards picnic, for which the team thanks them. The Hawks would also like to thank their sponsor Langley Chrysler, who have unselfishly provided operating funds to the team. Without the help of community minded companies, such as Langley Chrysler, juvenile sports would be hard pressed to make ends meet Heartfelt thanks are extended by all the Hawks, Classic cars readV to duke jt out at Mission , . 1 ~ ...

Coaching support was also given by Ed, Mike Williams, Don Johnson and Jay Dickinson, with the latter giving invaluable assistance whenever his busy schedule released him. The playing members Hawks included Richard Garside in goal, a first-year Hawk, who went from strength to strength. The defense was marshalled by Gary Mazur, the "Last man back" for various combinations of defenders like Kettering, Craig Howarth, Garry Johnson, Landon Muzio, Jarris Neufeld and Mike Savolainen, himself a newcomer to the roster who has made great strides in his first year of competitive soccer. The midfield "Engine Room" of the team was the bailiwick of. Hamilton, along with Aaron Blokzyl, Brian-Povey and David Williams, who were spelled off by the likes of Carey. Up front we had that scoring machine Quadling, along with Carey, Cam Dickinson and various other players. One of the Hawks' strengths is the ability of most players to adequately serve in other line-up spots, the most flexible being Mark Howarth, who isn't related to Craig. Mark was the back-up goalkeeper, played in defense, midfield and up front, a true "Utility man". The team should be commended for their excellent attendance at games and practice, practices being where most of the boring repetitive work is done. The Hawks players would like to thank their parents for their support, Langley Chrysler for their financial backing, as well as the coaches who made it all possible for them. They- are now going to take a well earned rest and are looking forward eagerly to better things in 1992/93, when they intend to move up a notch to the higher calibre of "Silver" League Play. This decision was enforced by a strong second place finish in the recent "Mission Silver Tournament", which is reported in-this By JENNIFER TURCOTTE MISSION - Mission Raceway's new drag strip promises to be the arena for prime drag car action from now until October.

The guide is a reference to regulations governing the saltwater sport fishery, and is available free of charge from some 650 locations where fishing licences are sold (marinas and sporting goods stores, for example) or from fisheries offices throughout British Columbia. More than 450,000 anglers who fish in the coastal waters of B.C. each year use the guide as a source for details on fisheries regulations. Those regulations, such as time and area fishing restrictions, minimum size requirements, and catch limits are cleariy documented in the guide, along with a wealth of general sport fishing information. Included is information on the proper identification of fish and shellfish species, on areas closed due to contamination by sewage or other toxics, as well as important phone numbers for search and rescue, environmental emergencies, and for reporting violations under the Observe, Record, and Report Program, among others. While the guide provides a thorough summary of sport fishing regulations, the department encourages anglers to contact local DFO offices for information on spot closures or other in-season management activities that may be implemented. mr.

APRIL 16. 1992 CLIMBING EVER HIGHER Hawks strike silver lode By GEORGE GREATBANKS ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Hawks, sponsored by Langley Chrysler, travelled new waters during the weekend of April 11th and 12th, when they played in a Silver Division 5 tournament across the Fraser in Mission. The Hawks were using this 4 game stint to measure their capacity to step up a playing level in 1992/93. A good performance would confirm the coaches' assessment of their potential, a poor one would make "selling" the concept of a more competitive level of play much .more difficult. Early Saturday morning, the Hawks took the field to face the eventual tournament winners, Mission Celtics, with the knowledge that they had recently beaten the Celtics twice in exhibition play. Not too long into the first half, the Hawks went a goal down when some shoddy defensive coverage allowed Mission to open the scoring. Despite having about 80% of the play from that point on, the Hawks failed to capitalize on their territorial superiority and lost by that single goal 1-0. Nobody could have foreseen what was to come. In their wildest dreams the Hawks wouldn't have been close to predicting it. On Saturday afternoon they faced Cape Horn Cobras, who placed second in the tough 18 team, 8 District Silver division, but the Hawks weren't overawed, far from it, they weathered some early pressure, then on goals from Ryan Carey and Brian Neufeld, his first as a Hawk, went on to shut out their opponents 2-0. The Hawks were using this tournament to welcome their newest member, Brian Neufeld, who played 2 seasons ago for the Abbotsford Gold team, but opted to play "House"" soccer in '91/92. Brian was a walk-on at the Hawks recent team trials, courtesy of his friendship with Hawks Craig Howarth. Sunday was a much better day weather wise, Saturday's wind was gone, replaced by rain which is much more traditional soccer fare. Hawks were to face Cliff Avenue Hotspurs, who finished runners-up in the Burnaby/Vancouver Silver division, being regarded by many as the team to beat in this tournament. The Hawks were destined to dominate the Cliff Avenue squad in all facets of the game. On 2 goals from Ryan Carey, one of which was from the penalty spot and another marker from Alan Quadling, they came out 3-0 winners. . The stage was set for a nail-biting tournament finish, with Mission having akeady won the day, the upcoming Hawks tilt with Poco Boomers was the deciding game for the Silver medal. Poco had finished 6th in the 8th District Silver division and were reputed to be a good "ball-playing1' team, but not this time around. After once again surviving some early pressure, the Nobody's that special... MURRAYVILLE - To stage whispers of "hear-near" from the gallery, Aid. Muriel Arnason told Live eye on the road again SURREY - On Sunday, April 26, Rogers Community 4 and its Live- Eye microwave facility will be at Whalley Ball Park in Surrey to cover the Pacific Metro Baseball Senior League as Surrey and Abbotsford square off in the opening day of thek baseball season. On Sunday, April 26 beginning at 5 pm. they present a special Sunday Night LIVE edition of Rogers 4 Sports. For those watching the game at the park, a rebroadcast of the game will be shown Wednesday, April 29 at 9 a.m. and again on Friday, May 1 at noon and 8:30 p.m. Rogers Community 4 serves Surrey, Langley and New Westminster. If you want Rogers to cover one of your sporting events, contact Roland Stockli at Rogers Community 4 at 588-0441. "At Rogers we're perfecting the art of service," said Stockli. fellow councilmen here Monday night that "you cant have one area 'more special' than the rest, or the country will break up anyway." She was referring, of course, to Quebec and the quest of 'la belle province' for a 'distinct society1 clause in the Canadian constitution. Councilors were reviewing a letter from the small village of Belcarra on the Indian Arm urging support for a resolution favoring renewed federalism in Quebec. Councilors said they were all for that and voted accordingly. Hawks, notoriously slow starters, gradually took the game away from the Boomers. Keeper Richard Garside was relegated to a spectators role, as the Hawks gave the Poco 11 a soccer lesson, further cementing thek position as the surprise team of the tournament. Most teams have a variety of "Set plays" in thek repertoke, and it was via that route that the Hawks chose to score two superb "Highlight film" goals. Fkst was a goal from Brian Neufeld, who came on the blind side to climb high above the Poco defense to meet a Quadling cross with his head and power it into the net for the opening tally. Next, from a set piece on a corner kick, came a strike from David Williams who curled around from his spot on the near corner of the goal area to meet the cross with his head, giving the keeper no chance and the Hawks a 2-0 lead. The king on the cake came on a break from Neufeld. From the right, he cut in towards goal and unleashed a thunderbolt that the keeper got a hand to, but couldn't stop, giving the Hawks a 3-0 win. So we have this upstart "Bronze" team from the boonies of Aldergrove going 3-1 in the four games they played to take the Silver medals as tournament runners-up. In the process they outscored thek opposition 8-1, which is really quite sad, as the only goal they gave up was the one that deprived them of what they really deserved GOLD. Subdivisions rejected MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here Monday night turned down two subdivision applications for properties included in the agricultural land reserve. Applications from Grant and Denise Martin of 21026 - 16 Avenue and C. Mervin of 26275 - 24 Avenue, received short shrift The Martins, had told council members that there are akeady two homes on thek property. Applicants can still apply dkectly to the Agricultural Land Commission which has the power to overrule local council. Registration for LFS spring groups LANGLEY - Family Services is now accepting registrations for spring groups. Included in the groups are parenting groups for parents of children of all ages and for parents in step families, communication for couples in conflict, assertiveness training groups, self-esteem groups, self-discovery groups for men, and anger management groups.

Generation gap explored in play LANGLEY - The third and final production of the Langley Players' season will be the hit Broadway comedy "Alone Together". Opening on April 30 the play will run for fifteen performances, closing on May 23 at the Langley Playhouse. Alone Together is the story of Helen and George Buder, a couple looking forward to a new stage in their marriage following the departure of their three sons from the nest. But just when Helene and George are about to turn their dreams into reality, the children (and their friends) begin to return home, bringing with them an assortment of problems and misunderstandings. As the Butler home becomes a hotel for their sons and assorted friends, Helen and George struggle to keep their dreams alive. There's lots of laughter and audience members will likely see themselves and their families reflected on stage. "It's a comedy about the generation gap" comments the play's director, Shelley Picard. "The parents want to rediscover the life they had before they had children. They want freedom, independence and romance. Their sons, on the other hand, see Mom and Dad as the source of all problem solving, there's a lot of love as well as conflict in Alone Together". Following the success of the Langley Players' last production of the drama Twelve Angry Men, tickets are expected to go fast for this new comedy. Reservations are available by calling the Players Show Line - 534-SHOW. 7th annual Pioneer Work Party FORT LANGLEY - On Easter Sunday, April 19, the Langley Centennial Museum is celebrating our early pioneers by giving children the opportunity of trying out various pioneer tasks.

APRIL 16. 1992 ALBUMS IN REVIEW Boss is back on track By KURT LANGMANN It's been a long time since we've heard from The Boss, so it's great to see a pair of new albums from Bruce Springsteen hit the stores this month. Van Morrison's fans have no problem in buying his.new double-album, but Springsteen has followed the route taken by Guns '& Roses: release both discs simultaneously but separately and then see which one takes off. So it's hard to judge which is better: Lucky Town or Human Touch The latter is a 14-song disc featuring Springsteen with a band, while the former is a 10- song featuring Springsteen playing pretty well all the instruments. Both are heavy on his familiar "confessional" lyric style (how can you tell he's a Catholic'), and while he's explored these themes before, he has a way with words that is truly admirable. There's rock made for dancing in the better tunes like All Or Nothin' At All and Man's Job, but it's his ballads that really thrill me. When he sings If I Should Fall Behind, or My Beautiful Reward, or I Wish I Were Blind, it's just something special and personally satisfying. Fans will want both albums to add to thek collections. The reason for the long delay between these and his last recording apparently had a lot to do with his desire to marry his backup singer, Patti Scialfa and raise a couple of kids, something which his first wife had no desire for. He earned the time off, but I'm looking forward to seeing him back on the concert tour road real soon. He's the best we've got, whether live recorded. or Toronto's Cowboy Junkies have finally won me over with $$$ SAVE $$$ SAVE $$$ SAVE $$$ OMETHINC FECIAL HAIR DESIGN Be sure to check your mail for the blue Val-Pak envelope containing our coupon.

Her low^ key style now has heart and resonance, and brother, Michael Tirnmins has come a long way as a writer and producer. There's a duet with, of all people, John Prine, called If You Were The Woman And I Was The Man that's got to be one of the singles of the year. Townes Van Zandt also wrote a fine tune called Cowboy Junkies Lament for the band while they were on tour together last year. It's great to hear the quartet find their niche. Like Margot said, "Good singers have a sense of melody, but they also have phrasing and they have an attitude. You have to know a song well to know what to do with it." 34252 Marshall Road, Abbotsford 8526660 John Anderson just played Vancouver as a guest with the Dire Straits band, part of Mark Knopfler's emerging country style. Knopfler also guests on Anderson's new album, Seminole Wind, on a song he wrote for Anderson called When It Comes To You. That song is on the recent Dire Straits release, too, but Anderson's version is the better. All the way through Anderson has come up with his best in years, and it hasbeen a country chart success for him, too, something he hasn't seen since the Swingin' single. Straight Tequila Night is classic country, and honky tonk is what Anderson's voice is best known for. There's a variety of styles here, from a range of Nashville songsmiths, and many are potential hit singles, too. Anderson himself wrote a couple of my favorites: the rockin' Who Got Our Love and the environment-message about his home state, Florida, called Seminole Wind. Look Away is a takeoff on the contemporary decline and fall of Dixie, Steamy Windows is Tony Joe White's sizzler, and Hillbilly Hollywood is the kind of thing Hank Jr. would appreciate. A one-of-a-kind voice, Anderson is back full force this year, and you can look forward to seeing him in his own concerts soon Live Latin tunes at the Quay NEW WESTMINSTER - Live music comes to the Quay, Thursday, April 16 at Zack's.

Could this be a hint" OTTAWA - During the 125th anniversary year of Canada's confederation, Canadians from coast to coast are looking closely at the state of the nation and making a firm commitment to enhancing the future of thek country. Fifty-eight 4-H members from across Canada's ten provinces focused their thoughts on these efforts when they met in the nation's capital, April 3-9 to participate in National 4-H Citizenship Seminar. Accompanying the delegates from British Columbia was Terry Stone, the leader of the Otter 4-H horse club in Aldergrove, who joined fellow 4-H'ers for the 21st annual event. In these complex and changing times, it is essential that tomorrow's leaders be aware of thek rights and responsibilities as Canadian citizens. National 4-H Citizenship Seminar encourages 4-H'ers to develop a deeper understanding, awareness and appreciation of 'thek fellow Canadians; principles which were emphasized at this year's seminar through exploration of the theme "Our Canada Fkst". 1992 delegates participated in traditional activities — the tour of Supreme Court and the annual Parliamentary luncheon, sponsored by Petro Canada, where they joined MP's from thek home ridings for lunch on Parliament Hill. They also learned about Canada's political and governmental systems through sessions- dealing with topics such as "How Government Works", "A Back row, form left to right, B.C. 4-H delegates following the reaffirmation of citizenship in Ottawa: Roberta Bond, Cory Carmichael, Kevin Moutray, Helen Fall, Waverley Bexson, Terry Stone (chaperone) Jillian Krupp. Front row, RCMP, Citizenship Judge Nicole Guenette, Citizenship Judge Mina Dover-Cohen, Clerk of the Court, and RCMP officer. Day in the Life of an M.P." and "Influencing the Political Process: 4-H'ers Can Make a Difference." Most importantly however, this year's participants were given the opportunity to address one of today's most politically pressing issues — Canadian unity. Seminar delegates took part in round table discussions focusing on putting Canada fkst, the closing banquet speaker Pat Thompson, dkector of government relations for the YMCA, offered suggestions on "What You Can Do for Canada" and to wrap up the week, delegates were asked to make group presentations outlining the meaning of citizenship. The highlight of the week was the Reaffirmation of Citizenship ceremony which was held at the National Arts centre on Wednesday, April 8 to officially launch the "Committed to Canada" campaign, an initiative celebrating the 125th anniversary of Canada's confederation. 4-H delegates joined a number of other young people representing youth groups from across Canada for this unique event. Gerry Weiner, Minister of Multicuituralism and Citizenship addressed the assembly and a special ceremony was held afterwards to present 4-H delegates with thek certificates of Canadian citizenship. The generous support of program sponsors is an essential element of any 4-H event The Canadian 4-H council and the 1992 .

APRIL 16. 1992 15 Exterior Decorating For The Stylish Garden Exterior decorating is a way to reflect interior style in the design of the garden. Perennials are paint for the yard, providing bright blossoms and green foliage to enhance the decor of the home, both inside and out. The view from a formal dining room could be a well-tailored perennial border or an orderly flower bed. The color scheme of a contemporary living room may be accented by vibrant blossoms outside the window; a country decorating style can be enhanced by pastel colors along the walkway and terrace. Perennials furnish many of the cut flowers used for arranging, so choose varieties suitable for cutting in shades complementary to the interior design. The secret to turning one afternoon of exterior decorating into years of spring flowers is planning — selecting strong and luscious plants, choosing the right location and making certain the soil is properly conditioned with all-natural Canadian. Sphagnum Peat Moss so roots have a hospitable growth environment. Choosing Plants For instant gardening gratification, purchase established plants in flats and containers from the garden center. When determining which flowers to grow, consider plant heights, blooming schedules, length of bloom time, whether flowers can be cut, types of foliage, amount of maintenance and watering required, preferences to sun or shade, and resistance to disease and insects. Also think about the colors and textures of foliage and flowers, which contribute to the look of the garden. Among hundreds of possibilities to suit every taste is the long-blooming "Red Valerian" (Centranthus), old-fashioned yellow or blue "Columbine" (Aquilegia), and the tall "Rose Mallow" (Hibiscus), with silky petals of white, pink or red. Pretty perennials can also have interesting foliage, like the hairy "Avens" (Geum), with yellow, orange and red flowers; silvery "Pearly Everlasting" (Ana- phalis), with white button-like blossoms; and changeable "Leadwort" (Cerato- stigma), with low-spreading leaves that turn red in fall, after the blue blossoms fade. The garden center will provide many other kinds from which to choose. Preparing the Garden Bed Whatever flowers are chosen and however the garden is arranged, one detail remains the same: good soil is at the root of healthy plants. Crucial to the success of any exterior decorating project is knowing the composition of the soil and amending its deficiencies. Perennials desire moderately acidic soil which is rich in organic material and drains quickly while retaining moisture. Unfortunately, few soils possess all of these qualities. Soil is a compound of clay, sand, silt, and organic material. When it has a high clay content, it tends to compact and harden, inhibiting root growth, the penetration of air and the drainage of water. Sandy soil, on the other hand, allows moisture to drain too quickly, creating a constant demand for watering and feeding. Luckily, these adverse circumstances - can be corrected by amending the garden bed with environmentally sound Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss, a long-lasting soil conditioner that comes in compressed bales which double in volume when opened. First, clear the planting area of all weeds and dig the space to a depth of 10 to 12 inches, shoveling the dirt onto a tarp. Remove all but the smallest rocks and add a ratio of one-third Canadian Peat Moss to the soil. This soil amendment is ideal for perennials because it retains up to 20 times its weight in water, loosens clay, binds sandy soil, and has a predictable pH level of 3.4 to 4.8, helping soil reach an optimum pH level of 5.5 to 6.6. Improve drainage by forking through the soil at the bottom and sides of the trench and encourage root growth by spreading a 1- to 2-inch layer of Canadian Peat. Shovel the soil mixture from the tarp into the planting area, creating a mound about two inches above ground level. This makes a raised bed for the flowers and also aids drainage. Before removing perennials from their containers, soak the soil so the rootballs will be easier to break up if the flowers are pot bound. Set plants no deeper in the ground than they were in the container, firm into place and water deeply. Watering Ensure roots will reach down into the soil by giving them a penetrating soaking. A light sprinkling will do more harm than good because it will draw roots to the surface, where they can be scorched by the sun. Evaporation will be limited when water is applied at root level, preferably with a trickle or drip irrigation system. Maintaining the Garden Two simple steps will keep the garden in bloom each spring. At the beginning of the growing season, apply a balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10 to damp soil to provide plants with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Water thoroughly so additives will penetrate the soil. Second, mulch around plants to keep moisture in and discourage weeds. An organic mulch such as shredded bark, pine needles or buckwheat hulls also insulates roots against temperature extremes and reduces the spread of disease. Spread a 2-3 inch layer each spring after fertilizing, weeding and watering Annuals and Vegetables: A Snap To Grow If a busy schedule prevents you from planting a colorful bed of annuals or growing your own tasty, garden-fresh vegetables, don't throw in the trowel just yet Ready to plant seedlings offer an easy way to start a garden. Plus, new gardening products, such as landscape fabrics and vegetable blankets, take the work and worry out of America's favorite hobby. There's no mystery to growing perfect annuals or vegetables. To ensure success, start with healthy seedlings, fertile soil, lots of sunshine and regular waterings. Choose a planting site that receives at least six to eight hours of sunlight a day for best results. Equally important is soil that drains well and is full of organic matter. You can nurture soil to perfection by applying three to six inches of peat moss or compost over the existing soil. Then, till or spade all materials to a depth of eight to 12 inches. Apply a balanced fertilizer, one that is rich in the nitrogen, phosphate and potash needed to produce vigorous plant growth. The first application should be added before tilling, so that the proper nutrients will be well mixed in with the . soil. Check planting instructions for each annual or vegetable to determine its specific fertilizer needs. Nurseries and garden centers stock a wide variety of seedlings that can be set directly into the garden. Set seedlings just slightly deeper than they were in thek original container. Then, water each plant thoroughly. Check the garden soil regularly for moisture, especially if temper atures are warm. As a rule, plants need about one inch of water per week. Weed Alert How do you prevent weeds from growing along with your annuals? Gardeners once faced the time-consuming chore of pulling up weeds by hand. Modern technology has changed all that Landscape fabrics help deter weeds from competing with annuals for water and nutrients. The one professional landscapes recommend is Easy Gardener's WeedBlock, a highly porous fabric molded with thousands of small "micro- funnels" that allow air and water through, while blocking out more than 90 percent of sunlight needed for weed growth.

Whatever your taste they are sure to have what you need. -Sylvia Langmann photo Dear John: John Deere Answers Your Lawn and Garden Woes Dear John: I wish I could be as good at losing weeds as I am at losing weight. Can you offer any tips that will make my vegetable garden more lean on weeds? Dear Weight Wizard: In a lot of ways, dieting is just like weeding. The task may not be the favored form of fun, but the results are great! And, like dieting, it's easfet to keep on top of weeding by doing a little every day than it is to tackle the job after it's out of hand. In your garden, millions of weed seeds are just craving to sprout. So, put weed seeds on a diet and don't let them get the nourishment they need —sun light, air and water. Here are some weed-reducing tips: • Place a plastic mulch between rows of plants. The mulch keeps sunlight, air and water from reaching the weed seeds, which will discourage them from growing. • You also can use a mulch of grass clippings. Just make sure the clippings have dried in the sun for a couple of days before using them for mulch. Green grass clippings will snack on nitrogen in the soil while you're not looking. Also, if you've used a weed-killer on your lawn, mow three times before using clippings in your garden. • Plant vegetables in square patches rather than long rows. The idea is that a dense patch of crops will shade weed seeds and prevent germination. The dense crops can choke out any weeds that do sprout. Dear John: How much water does a lawn need and how do I know if it has had enough? '' Dear Drink Minimum: Most lawns need to be watered to a depth of 6 to 8 inches each week. That means about 1 inch of water should be applied to the surface of the lawn. If it doesn't rain that much, your garden hose will have to make up the difference. To measure how much water you apply, mark several containers 1 inch from the bottom. Place the cans around the sprinkler's watering zone and time how long it takes to fill the cans to the 1-inch mark. Then water for that amount of time each week if conditions warrant. Dear John: I have a steep slope in my yard that's tough to mow. What do you recommend? Dear Sidehill Sid: If the slope is treacherous, you can replace the grass with an attractive ground cover that doesn't need to be mowed. Dear John: Would you mind telling me everything you know about thatch and getting rid of it? Dear Thatch Dasher: Thatch is the layer of grass clippings, stems and other debris that collects on the soil line at the base of grass plants. A lh inch layer of thatch acts as a buffer against soil compaction. Any more than that will inhibit air, water and nutrients from getting into the soil. Thatch also can be a food supply for unwanted pests and an incubator for disease. To reduce the thatch layer, use a dethatching machine or attachment to slice through the layer.

Dear John: I'm a marathon runner who likes to establish an early lead. Is there a way to get a fast start on flower gardening? Dear Spring Sprinter: This time, you might want to walk before you run. Late winter months sometimes bring the kind of weather that makes gardeners itch to get outside. But just as you need to warm up before running, your soil needs to warm up before it's ready to go the distance. If you work the soil prematurely, when it's still wet or cold, it can get so compacted that air and water won't circulate properly. This can result in permanent damage to the soil structure. You can't grow fast flowers on a slow track. To determine if your soil is ready for a workout, pick up a handful and squeeze it into a ball. If you can squeeze water from the soil, it's too wet. If it crumbles like chocolate cake, it's ready for tilling and planting early varieties. Dear John: We're landscaping our yard. Do you have any tips that will make mowing easier after we finish? Dear Plant Manager: If you decide to plant trees or shrubs near a building or fence, be sure to leave enough space for easy mowing when the plants mature. Also, avoid landscape touches that force you to pull a walk-behind mower backward, or drive a tractor in reverse. You can see better mowing forward. As you put in new plants, use extra soil to fill in holes around the lawn. If a slope is too steep to mow comfortably, replace it with a decorative groundcover. Dear John: Should my lawn- mower get a spring cleaning before the mowing season begins? Dear Mr. Clean: Although it's best to give your mower a thorough cleaning at the end of the mowing season, it's also a good idea to clean the mower deck and clear away clippings after every use. Give your mower a thorough spring cleaning by using a soft rag to remove grass and debris from between the cooling fins around the engine. Then wipe down the engine and the housing with a clean dry rag. If the mower is badly coated with oil and dirt, wash it with hot, soapy water, hose it off and let it air dry. To wash the underside, pull off the spark plug wire and tip the mower to the side. Then hose off any debris and let the mower air dry before cutting the grass. To stop grass clippings from sticking in the future, try coating the underside of your mower deck with a silicon paste wax or a lubricating spray.

Their branches are battling for space and they're growing into one another. My dream landscape has turned into a nightmare. What do I do now? Dear Bad Dream: Shrubs that give you the heebie-jeebies can always be moved. Plan on replanting the shrub in spring just before the leaves reappear. Select a new spot at least 5 or 6 feet away from the house, patio or trees. Soil near a house tends to have a high pH level that can lead to problems later on. A shrub planted too close to other trees will have to compete for nutrients, water and sunlight. Keep in Buckerfields the GROWING PEOPLE MAGIC... of SPRING HOT DEALS!

HOME & GARDEN FEATURES As environmental issues become more dominant, towns across the nation are taking drastic steps to manage waste more efficiently. Limiting yard debris collection, charging a fee per trash bag collected, and mandatory recycling of aluminum, glass, and newspapers are a few of the methods being used to combat the trash crisis. What many people dont realize is that "solid waste" is not composed of just store bought products. Yard debris like twigs, tree branches, and leaves use a large amount of space in landfills too. By recycling this debris into mulch with a Flowtron/Vornado Chipp'r/Shredd'r/ Mulch'r, homeowners can eliminate disposal costs, the need to buy mulch, and thereby revitalize and protect all plant material in the garden. For years, the presence of mulch has been the mark of a professionally landscaped yard. Now, it conveys a diffeeerit message — one of an environmentally conscious and economically smart homeowner. Mulch is composed of organic or inorganic materials such as wood chips, bark, straw, and gravel. Placed on top of the soil and around the base of a plant or tree, it acts as protective cover for the soil and roots.

Can I dig the flowers up or do I have to leave them there for the rest of the season? Dear Brown Bulbs: This browning period is important if your tulips are scheduled for a return engagement next spring. While the plant is withering, the bulbs are drawing in strength for their comeback. If you don't want those tulips next spring, remove the bulbs. If you do, leave the bulbs there and try planting some annuals to hide the brown foliage. Or, dig up the bulbs, plant them out of view for now and at the end of the season, replant them where you like. SOME POOL ADVICE Prevention is so much easier than heartache LANGLEY - The summer swimming months are just around the corner, and Classic Pool & Spa * would like everybody to have a safe and happy summer.

A Langley resident, Price was born and raised in Ottawa, and completed his high school in Penticton. He's had technical and engineering education in Okanagan College and Brigham Young University in Utah. He's worked in the RV and aircraft industry, and for the past three years he's been manager of the fabrication department at Anderson's Engineering, the Langley-based fire apparatus manufacturer. Price and wife, Elizabeth have three children, and they are active in their church, Scouting, West Langley Community Hall Association and other community groups. He's been a Reform party member for 18 months and serves as a director and chair of their Youth Committee. Price said the party is not racist. "Equality is the only route with which we can address this issue. We must remove the barriers that keep the people separated, so that all may receive equal considerations." Creation of a Triple-E Senate will aid in this by ensuring that "all parts of the country receive equal treatment." He said the government must reduce the debt so that pensions can be protected, and that the government should "get out of the business of creating jobs and leave this to the private sector." "Canada needs to^pontrol its destiny by recognizing its strengths. We have the resources and the technology to become an international industrial trading country. We cannot continue to sell our raw resources. We must export the finished product thus creating jobs in our own country. I believe that Canada can no longer leave itself in a subordinate position with regard to its present trading block. We must explore the world market and become viable within that world economy."

APRIL 16, 1QQ? 21 Surrey gravel pit opposed by Langley MURRAYVILLE - Township councilors here have received a string of letters from residents opposing a proposed new gravel pit near 196 Street and 16 Avenue. Letters have been received from L. Sager, D. and S. Gallagher, Toni Williams, John Roberts, Rob Sanderson, Linda Dockendorf, Lucinda and Jean-Paul Salaun and Kathryn Marsden. However, since the proposed pit is located inside the municipality of Surrey, there is not a whole lot Langley councilors can do. A public hearing will have to be held before the project is approved, they say. On the local front, councilors did not approve but neither did they disapprove of an application from West Coast Aggregates Ltd. to remove gravel from a pit at 27413 - 8 Avenue. "Let's talk about it (with local residents)," said Aid. Aubrey Searle. "We must move ahead in a cautious manner," urged Aid. Steve Ferguson. And Mayor John Beales said that although he was personally opposed to issuing the permit, he was also convinced that council would "wind up in court" if they did not approve of the application. Hotel lounge opposed MURRAYVILLE - A Langley alderman argued Monday night that his fellow councilors had "done a disservice" to the citizens of Walnut Grove in particular and Langley township in general by allowing a proposed new hotel near the Trans Canada Highway to incorporate a lounge in their plans. The citizens of Walnut Grove had clearly indicated at a public hearing that they did not want any more drinking outlets in their community, Aid. Steve Ferguson said. "What are we, trying to determine the morals of the community?" asked Mayor John Beales, refuting other councilors' claim that drinking in a lounge led to disorderly conduct. "How many times have you been in a lounge and seen that sort of thing taking place?" he questioned. Ferguson said aldermen were adopting "a laissez faire policy" by allowing the developers a 125-seat lounge in the new hotel. They voted three to two in favor of the lounge .but rejected a proposed cold beer and wine store. Hotel is to be built at the northwest corner of 88 Avenue and 202 Street. Nurses settle, HEU still holding out VANCOUVER - B.C. Nurses' Union general hospital members voted 75 percent in favor of a new agreement, April 9, after 13 months of tough negotiations. BCNU president Debra McPherson said, "Our members are saying that given the economic and political times, they considered the proposal carefully and acted responsibly in accepting the deal, even though many of them do not believe it values the work of nurses appropriately, nor has it addressed some key workplace issues." The three-year deal includes wage increases of 3-5, 2 and maximum 3 percent each year, some pay equity adjustment, improved retirement and casual benefits and provisions, and commitment to lobby for funds for re-training nurses affected by the implementation of the Royal Commission Report on Health Care and Costs. However, McPherson warned that nurses will be looking to "make up for lost ground during the next round of negotiations." Meantime, the dispute between the Hospital Employees' Union and the government's agents, the Health Labour Relations Association continues. HEU spokesperson Carmela Allevato criticized the decision to send more than 100 cardiac and cancer patients out of province for surgery because more than 1,000 hospital beds here have been closed. "Evidently, the money can be found to send these patients outx>f the province but not to bargain with health workers," said Allevato. The B.C. Medical Association has added its support to the HEU. President Dr. Gur Singh said, There is no need to send patients outside B.C. for urgent medical care... the government is causing undue panic amongst the public and particularly patients... these decisions are not for the public good." The HLRA has accused the HEU of "dragging out negotiations" with a "hardline stance on an unrealistic position." HLRA spokesperson Martin Livingstone said, "The HEU continues to ignore all economic realities by advancing extensive bargaining demands that would cost more than $233.1-million. If the parties are going to conclude a collective, agreement, the HEU must start to look at the settlement levels achieved by the B.C. Nurses' Union." Job action affects LMH LANGLEY - Hospital Employee Union workers from Langley Memorial Hospital's housekeeping department were in a study session April 9 with designated essential staff remaining in the department. Since March 31, HEU has been holding rotating job action in hospitals across the province. Twelve hour strike awareness has been given. The union is in a legal position to strike. Langley Memorial's essential staffing levels, sanctioned by the Industrial Relations Council will support 106 acute care beds. The hospital has closed approximately 50 of its 183 acute care beds and will have to downsize further in the event of a strike. To guarantee safe patient care we must do everything we can to ensure that we are not behind. picket lines with more beds occupied than we can support with our essential service staffing levels," said Pat Zanon, president and chief executive officer. Only emergency and top priority surgeries are being performed. The surgical slate is reviewed every day by a committee of physicians and nursing staff to assess surgical priorities. The staff are continuing to work well together through job action," said Irene Brolin, director of nursing (acute care) and the hospital's job action staffing coordinator. — TO^j»y,.^^ / 22 THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

BLONDIE — ■ ■ ' Tmsmr^w A road sign to better living with the Army ABBOTSFORD - What difficult times we live in! Environmental concerns. Run-away inflation. Racial tension. Economical uncertainty. You have your list, right? These abrasive elements of our era denote conflict. But maybe without a degree of conflict there would be little progress. Individuals and groups assert their right for a place in the sun. How can we cope with such tension? People who seek out The Salvation Army discover more than a bread-bank mentality. They discover people who empathize and take time to weep. The Salvation Army is a road sign, to better living. The Army's hands of compassion make a difference. In Abbotsford, The Salvation Army helps young people grow to full manhood and womanhood. It shows compassion and gives companionship. Addicts, alcoholics, runaways, down-and- outers, all find there are people who make a difference in an indifferent world. The Army's daily love affair with the downtrodden is based on its belief in the teaching of Scripture. It takes to heart the words of Isaiah 6l (words quoted by Jesus as He began His earthly ministry): He has sent me to bind the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison io them that are bound. We salute The Salvation Army during this special month — National Red Shield Appeal Month We can help The Salvation Army make a difference! Our Red Shield Appeal this year is Monday, May 4th and we ask for your support by volunteering to canvass for one hour on this date between 6:00 - 9:00 p.m For further information, please contact Gary Johnson at 852- 9305. Aldergrove soloist Lisa Reid will be the guest singer at the non- denominational rally, 10:30 am., Good Friday at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 - 56 Avenue. Justyn Rees will be guest speaker, and admission is free. All are invited to this event. Coordinating the program for 15 local congregations is Mun Hope, who just returned from the national prayer and non-partisan seminar held in the House of Commons last week. Summer school helps spread the message CLEARBROOK - With the presence of diverse worldviews in our societies and the modifications of traditionally held values, churches and church agencies are seriously reassessing their methods of presenting the biblical message of a new life through forgiveness and love for all mankind. To assist in such a study Columbia Bible College offers a summer school course on "Proclaiming the Gospel in a Secular and Pluralistic Society." Instructor for this course is Dr. Hans Kasdorf, Professor of World Mission, Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary, Fresno, California, for the past 14 years. He has studied and lectured on four continents, served on the Mission Board of the Mennonite Brethren Conference and authored several books and many articles on missions. This course will be offered June 15-19, on the college campus. Participants can earn 2 hours of seminary credit. The fee is $200. for credit, $150. for audit; spouses fee reduced by half. Full living accommodations are available on campus. Registration deadline is May 19. For course and accommodation details write Columbia Bible College, Centre for Missions, 2940 Clearbrook Rd., Clearbrook, B.C., V2T 2Z8, or phone 853-3358.

FRIDAY, APRIL 17 Guest Speaker: Justyn Rees ** SPECIAL MUSIC ** CHRISTIAN LIFE ASSEMBLY 21277 • 56 Ave. (across from: Langley Airport) SPONSORED BY LANGLEY MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION i THE ALDERGROVE STAR. APRIL 16. 1992 23 amgmm. Faith shared at House of Commons By MUN HOPE OTTAWA - While sunshine and daffodils greeted the tourists in the Fraser Valley last week, Ottawa was suddenly buried by a record breaking snowfall during the weekend. However, there were many warm hearts in the nation's capital, on the preceding Thursday. They were there at the House of Commons to look into the matter of reconciliation. Present were Premier and Mrs. Gary Filmon of Manitoba; and Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. David Lam of British Columbia. Before the seminar, there were prayers led by the Hon. Guy Charbonneau, Speaker of the Senate, and the Hon. John Fraser, Speaker of the House of Commons, expressed his appreciation. Then someone said that reconciliation might mean adaptation, settlement, forgiveness, moderation, understanding, healing or harmony. Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazankowski read some passages from 2 Corinthians 5: 14 to 19: "For the love of Christ constrained! us, because we thus judge; that if one died for all, then were all dead. And that He died for all, that they which live, should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him;, which died for them, and rose again ... Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. ^m "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation ..." Sheila Copps read some passages from the Book of Psalms. Audrey McLaughlin read from 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." A trio then sang Amazing Grace. "Amazing Grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see." "This meeting brings together responsible leaders in a spirit of meditation and prayer for themselves and for the nation," said some of the Members of Parliament and Senators. "It further serves as a quiet demonstration that men and women in position of responsibility place a high priority on the spiritual values," they continued. Antonio Lamer, Chief Justice of Canada also took part in prayer. "Ten years ago, I was converted, and then I realized the power of prayer," said a speaker from Quebec, who said that he was a long-time member of the congregation without realizing what it really meant to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, Lord and God. "If Canada gets down on its knees before God, we will experience a great revival," he said. Earlier, a Member of Parliament called upon the Prime Minister to declare a national day of prayer when he returns from Vimy. His suggestion was unanimously endorsed by everyone present. As I left Parliament Hill, I thought of the words of John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" The Lord Jesus is still the reason for this season.

APRIL 16. 1992 Fabulous Bibbs with cria (baby) at side are one of the lots to go on sale at the Spring Select Llama Show and Sale, April 25. It begins at 10 a.m. at the farm arena at 2591 - 224 Street, and sales headquarters is the Aldergrove Best Western Hotel. These beautiful animals warm the hearts of people of all ages, and because of this, they are also a valued investment. The 28 animals are expected to fetch prices of $3,000 to $100,000 each. The elegant and intelligent animals are valued as pets and for their wool. All-Canadian llamas on show and up for sale LANGLEY - On a warm spring April day in the countryside the first All Canadian Llama Show and Sale will take place. April 25 is the day. Vern Drader of Abbotsford, an active participant for many years in the llama business and Streberg Auctions of Camrose, Alberta have been planning and organizing the event for more than a year. The show and sale by its name "The Elite Spring Llama Show and Sale", is unique because only top quality llamas, a total of 28, have been selected for the event from breeders in and across Western Canada. "We are very excited about the quality of the animals selected for the event", says Vern Drader. Chilean Chief, owned by Dr. Robert and Maryann Fenimore of Invermere, B.C. has been entered. He is proven and one of the most sought after full Chilean sires in Canada. As a herd sire the animal has the qualities to improve any herd in North America." Other top quality young perspective herd sires are being offered. The qualities of other open and bred females cannot be overlooked. You will have a chance to see newborn llamas as well. It will be a fun and entertaining day with the show at 10 a.m., barbecue at noon and the sale at 2 p.m. There will be ample time to enjoy the Beautiful Family Farm Arena of Henry Block and Olf Hansen, the events host. There is . no fees or admission charges. Why Llamas! Many producers suggest that involvement with llamas is a very good alternative source of income for ranchers, farmers, and acreage owners. They require litde feed and care, and, in addition there are some tax benefits. For young children involvement with the animal can be very educational and therapeutic. Llamas have found a place in the hearts of 4-H members like those of the Olds, Alberta 4-H Llama Club. It is a day you will enjoy and remember and a great way to welcome spring.

Green horses will participate for two hours in the morning and green riders for two hours in the afternoon. Cost for each two-hour session is $30. For more information, or to register, call Jill at 530-8717. Cash for spray MURRAYVILLE - Township councilors have agreed to provide a four-year interest free loan of $163,500 to the Kinsmen Club of Langley. Money will be used by the Kinsmen to build a public spray pool in the Walnut Grove area. If the club is successful in obtaining a grant from the provincial government, the whole amount of the loan is to be paid back to the municipality. If they have no luck, only $100,000 will have to be returned. Use of school facilities to be soughtagain MURRAYVILLE - A Langley alderwoman says she will be introducing a motion in the near future urging more cooperation between municipal officials and school trustees. Politicians must overcome what Aid. Trudi Campen describes as "empire building" on the part of different political entities. She says township officials should meet with trustees to discuss "better utilization" of Langley area schools. These could easily serve other functions in meeting local community needs during off-hours, Campen says. They could be used to meet a variety of recreational needs when the students are not there, she says. The idea is not new. Campen says she is particularly concerned about the full use of the new high school in Walnut Grove. Residents of the northwest Langley community have for a long time been clamoring for more recreational facilities to be built in their neighborhood.

Live up to promises VANCOUVER - Closing down the harvest of fish and shellfish for human consumption in waters near pulp mills is not acceptable policy according to the B.C. Wildlife Federation. Meeting in Richmond, April 15-18, at their annual convention the BCWF intend to push government into living up to promises to clean up polluted areas around pulp mills. Developer won't kicktenants out MURRAYVILLE - A developer who has bought the old mobile home park at 9053 - 200 Street says he has no intention of throwing the 82 tenants on the street. Instead, Bob Clemis told councilors here Monday night, Amadon Estates wants council to come up with a new location for a mobile home park to which the 82 trailer homes can be moved en bloc. "We will act responsibly," Clemis said. Questioned by councilors as to what were the company's plans for the 20-acre property, Clemis said that it could find better use as a site for a multi-family residential development. Presently it is non-conforming use of industrial land, he added. If the township would come up with an alternative location, Amadon would be willing to "pay fair market value" for such, Clemis said. Municipal staffers have suggested a site at the northeast corner of 30 Avenue and 196 Street or alternatively another location at the northeast corner of 26 Avenue and 196 Street. Rumors to the effect that the mobile home owners had offered to buy the present park from Amadon on a cooperative basis had no substance behind them, Clemis said. New Walnut Grove plan endorsed MURRAYVILLE - A new official community plan for the northwest Langley community of Walnut Grove has been given final reading by township councilors in session here. The new bylaw amends the Langley community plan by allowing high density residential development of between 18 and 30 units per hectare in the Walnut Grove area. All council members are not wild about the idea. Langley should be a community of large homes on large residential lots, not high density urban living, aldermen such as John Scholtens argue. Aid. Muriel Arnason voted against acceptance of the new bylaw. -—■ ■j- THE ALDERGROVE STAR. APRIL 16. 1992 25 mm 856-8303 or 856-5212 Fax line DIRECTORY 1.

Hydro's application to extend its permits for exporting electricity generated at its Burrard Thermal plant near Port Moody because the plant is a major source of air pollution in the Lower Mainland. In a submission to the B.C. Utilities Commission, which is holding hearings on the application, the GVRD argues that the plant should not even be used for domestic purposes until it is fitted with modern pollution control equipment. At present, five of the six boilers do not have up-to-date pollution control 1 a&. jflCOMIW**, ^f»i awry It's a Moving And we are here to serve its moving population.'

Hydro's current licence to export to Alberta and the U.S. expires September 30. Its permit to operate the natural gas burning plant, issued by the GVRD, expires April 30. When operating at full capacity the plant is responsible for five percent of total nitrogen oxides emissions in the Lower Fraser Valley. Nitrogen oxides are a key component in ground-level ozone which is a health concern and is responsible for millions of dollars in agricultural losses each year. 'Since Burrard Thermal relies on off-peak natural gas, it tends to operate most extensively during summer months when the risk of an ozone episode is greatest. At a time when the Lower Fraser Valley is struggling to reduce total nitrogen oxides emissions to improve air quality, Burrard Thermal proposes to significantly increase its emissions," states the GVRD submission. "Hydro admits that energy exports will displace energy that California utilities would otherwise produce using natural gas. In effect, California is exporting its pollution to the Lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia." In its 'Creating Our Future' initiative, the GVRD is committed to a 50% reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other contaminants by the year 2000, as a means of improving air quality. The GVRD presentation is supported by the Central Fraser Valley Regional District, Dewdney-Alouette Regional District, the Regional District of Fraser-Cheam and the member municipalities of the four regional districts.
