en ^ NOW DELIVERED ANNUALLY Assessments in mail VICTORIA - More than 1.4 million property owners in British Columbia can expect their assessment notices by Jan. 15. Assessments are now delivered on an annual b^sis, providing mid-year values to property owners and tax jurisdictions. The annual roll helps reduce significant changes by reflecting market movements annually, as opposed to every two years. The valuation date for all properties, as shown on assessment notices, is July 1, 1993. A common valuation date provides fairness and ensures an equitable base for property taxation. The market determines the value of property and BC Assessment reports that value to the property owners and the tax jurisdictions. Assessment notices will be the basis for the province and local governments to use in ap portioning how much tax each property owner will pay in 1994, as BC Assessment does not set taxes.

The provincial registrar of voters is now calling for eligible residents here to ensure they are on the voters' list (see details in advertisement inside this issue). At presstime, Social Credit leader Grace McCarthy is the only declared candidate. New Democrats hold their nomination meeting, Jan. 6, and self-described "house- husband" Samuel Wagar is the sole candidate for the nomination. Liberals hold their nomination meeting on Jan. 18, and have two candidates in the running: Abbotsford school trustee and lawyer Mike DeJong, and former Matsqui resident, now 'Vancouver lawyer, Ed Suderman. Former premier Bill VanderZalm has not yet made his intentions known, but said last month he was considering running for either the ' provincial Reform party or the Family Coalition party. And, of course, Doug Henning and the Natural Law party may decide to make an "appearance* here, too. All in all, it's shaping up to be a real horserace, especially between the frontrunners, Social Credit and Liberal. The riding has never supported the New Democrats and with that party currently in power, have no chances at winning Matsqui. VanderZalm has his supporters here and has the advantage of being raised in Matsqui, but he won't have the clout to actually win the seat, should he run. And, curiously, while the Liberals see VanderZalm as a vote spoiler for Social Credit, Socreds here believe he would hurt the Liberals more than the Socreds. One longtime Socred supporter here told The Star, "The voters who supported VanderZalm and Rita Johnston will never forgive McCarthy for what she did to them. They would vote Liberal before they'd vote for McCarthy, but if VanderZalm runs they'll give the vote to him." Local pundits peg VanderZalm's support as no more than 1,000 to 2,000 votes, making him a distant third. The Liberals and Socreds could easily win triple that amount each, depending on how they play the game.. Socreds are putting everything they've got into this byelection, too, recognizing that this is make or break time for the party. Many. of the Socreds' best organizers and workers are still fresh after helping Reformer Randy White win the federal seat here, and are eager and ready for the byelection. Fraser Valley West, which includes all of Matsqui, voted Reform by almost two-to-one over second place Liberals, and an examination of the poll-by- poll results shows that Liberals only won one poll in Matsqui, in a new apartment complex area in downtown Clearbrook.

JANUARY 6. 1994 Canadians reject VANCOUVER - Most Canadians believe multicuituralism isn't working, a national survey has found. About 72 percent of those polled say their image of Canada as a mosaic of ethnic and racial groups should give way to a melting pot along American lines, according to the poll conducted by Decima Research. "Canadians report a preference for 'homogenization' of the society through adoption by immigrants of Canada's values and way of life," the survey says. Canadians are increasingly intolerant of demands made by ethnic groups and are frustrated by the lack of conformity in Canadian society, it adds. The poll was commissioned by the Canadian council of Christians and Jews, an educational group dedicated to racial harmony. As well, 54 percent of those surveyed believe current immigration policy allows too many people of different races and cultures into Canada. Decima vice president Michael Sullivan said he thought the survey was important because it showed "Canadians are united in their belief that there are prob- multicuituralism B.C. presses feds on issue of supply management lems and they have to be dealt with." Sheila Finestone, secretary of state for multicuituralism, blamed the Reform Party and its fundamentalist Christian base of support for fanning flames of racial intolerance. "I dont like their language and CReform leader Preston) Manning can package it anyway he wants," she said. "I don't like language that doesn't make everyone feel comfortable and welcome." Simon Fraser University anthropology professor Parin Dossa said the survey's findings represent a backlash against multicuituralism. She blames the results on the perception that multicuituralism is a drain on taxpayers. "The message that has been given is that immigration amounts to problems," she said. "I think that perception needs to change. Cultural diversity has the potential to enrich Canadian society." Multicuituralism means more than just programs, services and funding, Dossa added. It means building a society that's open to new ides and different ways of doing things. NDP to name candidate MATSQUI - The nominating meeting for Matsqui New Democrats in the upcoming by- election is on January 6 at 7 p.m. at the Matsqui Recreation Centre's Senior Centre meeting room, 3106 Clearbrook Road. The keynote speaker will be Dave Zirnhelt, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. With the recent completion of the - General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs, with its ruling against supply management in agriculture, and the North American Free Trade Agreement which opens up our borders to American farm products, the role of the provincial government in protecting the - livelihood of B.C's farmers is crucial. This is of key importance in a ' rural and agricultural constituency like Matsqui. The only candidate for the nomination was Samuel Wagar, a 37 year old househusband, the secretary of the Matsqui constituency association and a long-time activist in the New Democratic Party. Wtgar and wife, Alice Ratzlaff, have two young children, and have lived in Matsqui since 1992. Born in Toronto, Wagar has been involved in many NDP federal and provincial campaigns in B.C. Agriculture minister David Zirnhelt speaks to Matsqui New Democrats, Jan. 6. and Ontario. He is described as "a feminist, a Canadian nationalist, a social democrat, and a person with strong ethical and moral beliefs." WALTER J.

Call Roger Patillo/Sussex Realty 533-3231 20585 Fraser Highway, Langley VICTORIA - Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Minister David Zirnhelt has returned from Ottawa where he met with the federal government to secure a commitment that they won't fold on the issue of supply management. The supply management system has worked well for all British Columbians, matching demand with supply. Producers get a fair return on their investment and consumers get a safe and stable supply of locally grown produce," said Zirnhelt. Under the GATT agreement negotiated in Geneva, the federal government says current system of import controls will be replaced by tariffs. If the schedule of tariffs advanced by Canada at Geneva is maintained, Canada's supply management system for poultry and dairy will remain intact. . Canada is seeking base tariff levels of 284% for milk, 280% for chicken, 182% for turkey and 192% for eggs. Under GATT these will be reduced by 15% over the next six years. • These levels are on average 100% higher than those being sought by the United States, and the final impact will not be known until negotiations are completed and a legal agreement signed in April 1994. "Canada must take all necessary measures to maintain the tariff level put forward in Geneva and ensure they are upheld in the legal agreement," Zirnhelt said. "I am particularly concerned by recent press reports in which the U.S. claims that under NAFTA these tariffs cannot be applied on American products. Our supply managed industries have faced seven years of uncertainty on GATT Article XI. The federal government lost that fight. The U.S. is now seeking to eliminate all tariffs by 1998. We maintain that GATT rules must apply and the tariffication clauses must stand." "B.C. will be holding the feds' feet to the fire on this and will demand adjustment measures if B.C. producers are not protected," said Zirnhelt. . Federal and provincial agriculture ministers have established a task force mandated to develop an action plan for the renewal of supply management. The task force will meet with industry and consumers and report back to the federal and provincial ministers on February 15- Grains and oilseed producers suffered the most under the BC subsidy war and stand to benefit from the substantial reductions in export subsidies used by the EC and the U.S.A. when the agreement takes effect in January 1995.

From front... constituency party here would have a local Socred candidate in place. While Liberals here are not as well organized, they have the strength in one resident candidate, Dejong, and one whose Ed Suderman aims for Liberal nomination in Matsqui family roots are strong here, Suderman. Dejong, a young single man, was recently re-elected to school board, but has experienced controversy over the moral issue of a secondary student's self-penned play about teenage sexuality. Dejong was one of the few -who spoke against the school board's moves to ban the. play from a school competition. As one Suderman supporter said, "Local politics, especially school board, is the kiss of death." However, it has also given Dejong the support of Matsqui mayor Dave Kandal, a card-carrying Liberal party member. Suderman, now nearing 50, was raised on the family farm which incorporated a good part of what is now downtown Clearbrook, including W.J. Mouat Secondary School. He was Matsqui's "golden boy" — a star athlete, a devout Mennonite, and went on to become a nationally successful lawyer. His wife, Ingrid is a wellknown classical singer now instructing at Trinity Western University and their two children are in their senior years at secondary school. Suderman said he would consider moving to the riding from North Vancouver once his children have graduated, but his Jan. 4 press conference showed that he has a good working knowledge of the area's concerns and needs. However, while Matsqui is frequently characterized as the "Bible belt" ~ especially by the Vancouver media ~ it has also long been the home of choice for ethnics such as the Punjabis, and ongoing, rapid residential growth is rapidly changing that demographic, too. While religion of one form or another is strong here, political conservatism is a much more important factor for the candidates. The Vancouver-Quilchena by- election is considered a shoo-in for new Liberal leader Gordon Campbell, but Matsqui is the race that will be watched for its ramifications for the next general elec- tion. And it appears that Campbell will have to move further to the right in B.C. politics if he hopes to capture the majority in the general election. Campbell's former colleagues in the city's Non-Partisan Association have already made that move to the right and annihilated the left wing Committee of Progressive Electors in the November elections. NPA school trustee Sandy McCormick topped the •""^".'faiWart foaaafil ^*oll<*1"1 IOr A school voucher system, as well as teacher salary rollbacks, before the new school board has even met. New mayor, Philip Owen is not as eloquent as Campbell, but faced with staff reports that the city faces a $9-million deficit next year and may not be able to hold property tax increases under the rate of inflation, has promised to cut bureaucracy and waste, and even entire programs, to balance the budget. One of Owen's first austerity moves was to cancel the mayor's lease vehicle and council's inaugural banquet, a minor but symbolic gesture. While the blame for Vancouver's galloping tax rate increases and mushrooming bureaucracy at city hall and the GVRD cannot be all laid at Campbell's feet, none the less, that is the perception in many voters' minds. The provincial Liberals are currently developing policy which will be debated by the party in spring. B.C. voters are watching and waiting. Liberal hopeful Mike DeJong chuckles a young Toth, but the older party members will decide his fate. -Kurt Langmann photo Aldergrove Radiator + taxes WINTER SPECIAL!!! Includes...

JANUARY 6. 1994 Hint saves lives Editor, The Star, Sir, Regarding headline; "Reckless Driver Devastates Boy's Life!" Sometimes, usually, defensive driving can prevent or lessen the severity of trad drivers' actions. I'm referring to this accident and other similar ones, where a car making a left hand turn is rear ended and pushed into the path of oncoming traffic. For all of you who never learned this, or forgot it, or are lazy, you do not turn your steering wheel toward the left until it is safe to go! If this boy's wheels had been kept straight ahead, he would have been pushed straight ahead, not somewhere it wasn't safe to go! Please publish this - it could save a life. PAT STOCKBROCKS, Aldergrove COMMENT Thanks, good neighbors Editor, The Star, Sir, Neighbourly love is homemade chicken soup, bread and plum jam and several armfuls of firewood, banana bread, and a hand-painted cloth wall picture that says, "A friend is forever." It is also a gift of the price of a load of split heater wood to keep the cold chill of winter at bay. It all happened at once. I got the flu while still debating whether to have a natural gas fireplace in my trailer. Hie airtight heater could be used which would cut down the cost, but holes would have to be drilled into it, which would ruin it as a wood heater fireplace. The flu gave me headache with double vision, bilious attacks, dizzy spells, irregular heartbeat, along with a sore throat and a terrible cough. I was sick, weak and laid out, and I was chilled with only moveable electric wall heaters, at minus five Celcius. I couldn't drive either, read or watch T.V. unless I closed one eye. I blessed the radio and the telephone. Mostly I just tried to make it through each hour without phoning to have myself catted off to the hospital or the other place; it was that bad. A very dear old friend who lives on Bradner Road, upon learning of my plight when she phoned me, brought me homemade efi'v'lrt'n soup, homemade whole wheat bread and her own jam made from the plums from Wrapping success Editor, The Star, Sir, The Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliaries' Council would like to publicly thank the Willowbrook Mall for its generosity and assistance during our Christmas gift wrapping project. Thank you also to all the auxil- ians, associate members and other community volunteers who manned our booths. A very special thanks to all who stopped by and had their gifts wrapped. You made our endeavor a success. A happy new year to all. BLANCHE WENTLAND, Langley her plum tree, and she and her son also brought a few armfuls of the last of their firewood; they had alternate central heating of natural gas. She said to me, Tm not going to let you die!" She blessed the soup. It was the best chicken soup I've ever eaten and it hit the spot, and gave me strength. The Langley Writers Guild, of which I am a member, sent me via a dear member a big basket of fruit and our latest book, "Valley Voices." A young mother from up the street with three boys and expecting another, brought me a tinful of homemade cookies, little cakes and banana bread. A little girl from up the street and around the corner, who visits me to make sure I'm alright, brought me a hand-painted cloth wall covering that said on it, "A friend is forever." A son who formerly kept me in split firewood for my heater, when he lived in this area; upon learning of my plight, paid for a load of dry split firewood for me. Anotherjgpn who lives in the area, still on crutches, with a cast on his lower leg, picked up some groceries for me and later when I was able to go out, to take me shopping for groceries, and to the doctor and to the hospital. He was able to drive an automatic. So you see the spirit of "Love thy neighbour" lives on, and the thought of so much loving kindness that I received during my ill- ness brings tears to my eyes. When one is sick, and down, neighbourly love is homemade chicken soup, other goodies and knowing that someone cares about you. MARY PAN WESTJUOORE Aldergrove Ernie Bryan will be missed Editor, The Star, 1994 has already witnessed the passing of one of your regular readers, and contributor, Ernie Bryan. To many of your readers, his ideas on taxes and land ownership were, at first glance, too radical to be readily accepted. Many people, on the other hand, took the time to digest the. information he supplied and realized his ideas were full of common- sense and were logical in the extreme. These ideas were only a small portion of what Ernie had to offer. Few people are aware that as one keenly interested in music, he started up one of the fkst amateur orchestras in the Fraser 'Valley. He successfully taught automotive classes and later French at high school. He believed that people should be life-long learners and later, when he had to retire early because of illness, he continued to teach. Many adults had the benefit of his free economic classes. Photography was one of his many interests and so he introduced the taking and developing of pictures to all those interested in learning this art. Many were introduced to beekeeping by this multi-talented man. Children were amazed when the "Bee Man" came to show them his observation hive. Throughout his life, he gave unselfishly of his time to meet the needs he saw throughout his community. He served on numerous executive boards for handicapped associations. He worked on the Legion executive in Aldergrove. He drove many people to their medical appointments in Vancouver and visited the Sick in Chilliwack where he lived the final years of his life. He quoted Shakespeare often and deplored the state to which the English language had fallen prey. He was not a man to suffer fools lightly and many people felt the sting of his words. He gave, however, the same gift even to those who disagreed with some of his opinions. He forced us to think and not to accept what was given out meekly. Surely that is the best legacy that anyone can leave. We are the weaker for his passing. Yet all those that came in contact with Ernie Bryan are the better for having known him. SUSAN BRYAN Langley Aren't we proud to be Canucks? Editor, The Star, Sir, I've just now left the Aldergrove Arena after not being able to stomach the so-called "Canadian" fans there. Don't get me wrong, the Aussies have a fine hockey team and deserve all of the accolades they receive. The reason I left is the amount of "Canadians" hoping for, and applauding/cheering every goal the Australians made. Don't they realize these kids can hear them and see them doing this? How do-you think they feel? Confused? Angry? I know I was. I have a gut feeling these are the same type of people who support Canada by streaming across the line to stock up every week. It seems over the past decade . or so, Canadians who are insecure in who they are, want to be associated with whomever or whatever is winning at any particular time. I find that rather frightening and don't think it augurs well for the survival of our country, when it has gone beyond the politicians to the grass roots. To the Aussies: "good on ya mate" and the best of luck in the future. To the kids who played against them "well done!" You gave it your all. To the supporters of my fellow Canucks, "nice to see you there". To the others: look in the mirror and try to decide what the hell you are; Canadian or a wannabe. RICHARD BENSON, Aldergrove. Does WCB follow spirit of the original act? Jl Editor, The Star, Sir, This is with reference to the ar- ticle by Valerie Casselton on labor, published in the Vancouver Sun of 23rd December, 1993. She has tried to project the viewpoint of the employers alone. The injured workers have nothing to gain from ■what she pleads. She is treating the injured worker as a "machine" or a "tool" and the WCB as the "main* tenance department" of a factory whose duty is to repak the worker and put him back on the job. She has completely ignored the human and emotional aspect of the issue. The history of the Workers' Compensation Act of British Columbia is that it replaced the injured worker's remedy for compensation in torts. The courts were awarding compensation for CO pain and suffering, (ii) medical expenses, CUD disfigurement of face or body, Civ) emotional sufferings e.g. unable to communicate with spouse, (v) loss of earnings, and (vi) loss of job itself. In addition the injured worker was entitled to the costs of the litigation. The compensation was liquidated damages (in terms of money). Instead of giving compensation in- cash the scheme is to replace the compensation in kind Le. rehabilitation. Is the scheme Valerie offers more than what the worker was getting in torts? Can a worker not buy bis rehabilitation if he is paid cash compensation? She pleads robbing the worker of his cash compensation and giving 'rehabilitation' to him. Or she considers the worker as son and the employer as his father, which never was. The worker should have liberty to decide how he likes his rehabilitation. This the author wants to deny. In the WCB the Injured workers are suffering for lack of expert legal advice. The workers are represented by the lay advocates (office bearers of the unions). Instead of providing free legal aid to the workers the government has provided them lay advocates as the labour advisors in the Labour Ministry. Strange enough the government is providing employer's advisors also. The employers never depend on them and always have expert legal advisors. These labour advisors are no match to the law experts engaged by the employers. The injured workers are denied the benefit of free legal aid for WCB cases. This was made possible only when the government excluded the remedy of the injured workers from the jurisdiction of the courts.' The employers have created joint "trusts" with the unions. These trusts are run on the contributions by the workers.* This money or the funds of the trusts, are known as LTD. These funds are used by the employers towards the compensation to the injured workers. This is being done inspite of the fact that the Workers' Compensation Act prohibits it Here the injured workers receive the compensation out of their own contribution. A compensation to the injured worker by the worker himself! Such is the labour welfare in BC1 The unk»n« have ceased to be an independent body of the workers. For reasons to be investigated the unions are working in collusion with the employers. Will the government of British Columbia hold an independent investigation into the working of the WCB to know if the WCB had achieved the Ideal of the legislatures who had made the Workers' Compensation Act?

Braving the winter weather, these committed volunteers raise money for the Kinsmen Mother's* March to benefit British Columbians with physical disabilities. Last year, 15,000 "Marching Mothers" proudly raised 4l.25-million for the 1993 campaign, and a good portion of it was raised here in Aldergrove. It is through the dedication of volunteers that the Kinsmen Mothers' March has been such a success throughout the forty years since it began. "Over 370,000 British Columbians are living with disability. And every year, the demand for the services of the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation increases. "Now more than ever we need Marching Mothers to help make a difference in enabling people with physical disabilities to lead more independent lives, "said Nancy Macdougall, director of marketing and development at the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation. "The more people who canvass door-to-door, the more households we can reach and the more effective our campaign will be." The Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation is the only organization in the province to provide programs and services to people with physical disabilities at no cost. Whenever possible, the pro- grams of the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation enables people to live at home, so they can enjoy a lifestyle that many take for granted. "To continue providing our services, it is critical that the 1994 Kinsmen Mothers' March goal of $1.35-mil- lion be met. To do this, we appeal to all British Columbians, men and women, young and old, to please give an hour or two of their time to canvass their neighbourhoods." said Macdougall.

Sikhs, who often wear turbans as a sign of religious devotion, are not exempt from the BC Motor Vehicle Act or Workers Compensation Board regulations regarding use of helmets and hard hats, officials for the highways department and the board have confirmed. The headgear debate arose once again after a court in Switzerland ruled that Sikhs cannot be exempt from that country's motorcycle laws. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JANUARY 6, 1994 Premium hike killing jobs in Canada VICTORIA - An increase in unemployment insurance premiums not 50 days into the Chretien government's mandate breaks a preelection commitment not to increase taxes, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Spokesman Troy Lanigan points to a statement by Jean Chretien made on October 20 when he said: "I say there is no tax increase in this plan. I said in an interview the other day if we were to be in a war - perhaps." Says Lanigan: "The question for prime minister Chretien is, Cheap health care for Americans TORONTO - Thousands of Americans are discovering that the cheapest way to obtain health care is to pay a short visit to Canada. An Ontario government report showed that, from August 1992 to February 19933, 60,000 iriedical claims were made on behalf of patients who held American drivers' licenses. The total number of fraudulent claims was estimated at 600,000. „ Loopholes and a lack of built- in controls are costing Ontario taxpayers as much as $691-mil- lion a year, the report said. "The ministry is open to the fraudulent use of health care in all programs," the report said. "Where's the war?' If we're going to have a war in Canada it should be a war on unemployment - and increasing the costs to hire people achieves exactly the opposite. Furthermore, higher premiums, which (already) have doubled in the past five years for workers, are hurting economic recovery by taking more dollars out of the pockets of consumers, investors and savers." Lanigan said unemployment insurance and Other programs need to be substantially overhauled. "To simply pass along a Ul premium hike is to address the symptoms and not the cause of why the expenditures of these programs are increasing in the first place." Immigration down here VANCOUVER - The number of residential properties in B.C. that changed hands in November was just slightly fewer than 1,000 compared to the same period last year, says British Columbia Real Estate Association president, Don Lancaster. "In November, 1992," says Lancaster, "6,939 residential properties were sold compared to this year's 5,948. This decline in sales is attributable, in part, to the reduction in the number of people who have been moving to B.C., especially from other parts of Canada." Provincial figures for November show that the number of new arrivals in B.C. from other parts of the country declined by 22 percent over the same period last year. The November decline, though sharp, continues a trend that began, last September., "While, the mork*»Tihaft Tlnweri down and the total value of the year over year sales figures has diminished, overall, the average house price has increased. And, I Chief banks bumper bonus TORONTO - The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's return to strong profits meant that its chairman, Al Flood, had a merry Christmas. Flood made more than $1.5- million in 1993, including a S704.000 bonus, making him Canada's highest-paid banker. Profits at CIBC rose to $730- million in fiscal 1993 from a dismal $12-million for 1992 when it took a pasting because of bad loans to property developer Olympia and 'fork developments. must emphasis we are talking average house prices here. One or two properties at the higher or lower end of the scale can skew the average somewhat for any given month. The best example of this is in some of our smaller markets where the sale of one or two large properties can result in a dramatic average increase of 50 per cent or more, and then tumble drastically when more moderately priced properties sell in the following month."

JANUARY 6. 1994 Mad Dogs sink Pirates enroute to perfect '93 record ALDERGROVE - Local hockey novice team, Mad Dog Blues completed the first half of the '93/'94 season sporting a record of five wins and a tie. Their two latest victories were against Discovery Software Pirates (7-3) Mighty Ducks drown, but soon flying ALDERGROVE - The Clearbrook Yamaha Mighty Ducks continued their hockey season with an Exhibition game on December 31, against Abbotsford. The Abbotsford team came out flying and jumped out to a 7-3 lead after the first period. The Ducks gathered together and had a strong second and third periods but came up on the short end of the score 14-8. Greg Neufeld led the way scoring four goals for the Ducks, while Jordan Stangle chipped in with two goals and an assist. The line of Ryan Martin, Douglas Closter and Jacob Harder played well with Ryan and Douglas each scoring once and each member of the line had an assist. Cody Hopkins and Tyson DeGianni played well on defense. Greg Wismer played well in goal. Ducks flying high: On January 2, the Clearbrook Yamaha Mighty Ducks continued their league schedule with a game against the Discovery Software Pkates. The Pirates jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in the first period. The Ducks tied the game with a goal by Douglas Closter to end the period at 1-1. The second period belonged to the pirates as they scored four goals to take a 5-1 lead after two periods. The Mighty Ducks came out strong for the third period and carried the play. Their hard work was rewarded with two goals, one by Greg Neufeld and the other by Ryan Martin with an assist from Cody Hopkins. The Ducks had numerous scoring chances in the third period hitting several goal posts and many shots left lying on the goal line. The entire team played a strong team game and should not be discouraged by the result of a 5-3 score. Brady Fishhook played a strong game and Brodie Sorenson made several fine stops in goal. The defense played a strong game, Sonia Strandt and Tyson De Gianni played well together while the tandem of Cody Hopkins and Jacob Harder were especially tough, Jacob created several scoring chances with shots, from the point and Cody made many fine rushes into the offensive zone. Alan Olson and Jordan Stangle had many scoring chances but were shutout for their efforts. Ducks tied up: The Clearbrook Yamaha Mighty Ducks travelled to Clearbrook on Jan. 3, and played the Langley Flyers to a 5-5 tie: both teams played well and was an enjoyable game'to watch. Greg Neufeld led the Ducks with three goals and Allan Olson and Ryan Martin had singles with Brady Fishhook and Cody Hopkins each had an assist, Brodie Sorenson was outstanding in goal for the Ducks. The Ducks' next game is on January 8, at 5 pm. at Aldergrove.. and Hewitt & Co. Redhawks (7- 1). Most of the scoring prowess has come from two speedsters, Jason Garrison and Kris Armstrong. Other goals have been tallied by the heads-up play of Matt Eldridge, Scott Cleeve, Jake Morris, Nicholas Goy, and Terry Corfe. Support on the forward lines has come from Joseph Williams, having shown a great deal of motivation and desire this season, and also from James MacDonald. A key factor to the Mad Dogs' success is the play of goaltender Scott Mathieson who has been brilliant between the pipes with a goals-against average of only 3-5- Coach Dave Cleeve mentioned "When our defense has broken down, which isn't very often, Scott has been there for us." Heading up the defense is the very strong play of Bradley VCaters, Taylor Anderson, Raymond Crawford and Thomas Miller. This foursome has proven to be a tower of strength at the blue line. Brad ^Caters has augmented the scoring "punch" of the team when called upon to carry the puck from "end-to-end" on occasion. "Overall team effort and hard work is the key," according to assistant coaches Dan Armstrong and Bob Gillett. "The team practices once a week in a school gym to hone their team skills and get to know one another. They're a great bunch of kids and they're fun to work with." With this kind of attitude and cooperation, the rest of the season bodes well for these young upstarts. Are you regi to vote?

They did manage to play a few games though starting with one just two days before Christmas. In this game the Bruins were playing host to the North Delta Sundevils. The.first period was full of end to end action but no scoring as neither team was able to put the puck in the net. Aldergrove scored early in the second, with the goal going to Marc Windle. Assists to Mark Haber and Matt Roberts. Unfortunately that was the only goal the Bruins were to score to North Delta's three. Although the game was a loss for the Bruins it was a very exciting game to watch as these teams are pretty close in talent and the score could have easily gone either way. After a short Christmas break the Bruins headed across the river to Ridge Meadows to take on the Rebels. Ridge Meadows dominated the first period and a half allowing only one Aldergrove goal in that time frame, when Matt Roberts scored at 4:15 of the first unassisted, to their five.

With just 58 seconds left in the second the two Matts combined for Aldergrove's second goal. Matt Keith with the goal and Matt R. with the assist. The Bruins took over the game in the third period to make for some very exciting hockey. At 9=21 David Mamchur scored unassisted to bring the Bruins within two. At 5:39 Josh MacKnee (just back from Saskatchewan) made an end to end rush to score Aldergrove's fourth goal shorthanded. With time running down on the clock the Bruins were trying desperately to score the tying goal and were rewarded at 1:26 when Matt R. with the help of Josh M. and David scored on the powerplay. Ridge Meadows put on the pressure in the last minute of the game but the Bruins were not about to let this one go and the game ended in a five all tie. This game really showed what a gutsy team the Bruins are by not giving up when they were down 5 to 1 and coming back to tie the game.' Great game boys! On Sunday January 2nd the Bruins were in Surrey for an exhibition game against Surrey's A- 2 team. The Bruins opened the scoring at 8:31 of the first on a pretty passing play, Josh M. getting the goal, assists to David and Darcy Benson. The Bruins second goal came at 8:36 of the second period with Mike Roberts picking a wide open corner of the net for an unassisted powerplay goal. The Bruins continued to score in the third period when Simon picked, up his first goal of the night at 14:39 after Mike R. had feathered a back hand pass to him in front of the Surrey net. Goal number two for Simon came at 1:58 with the assists to Marc and Mike R. Final score Aldergrove 4, Surrey 2.

JANUARY 6. 1994 Youth service corps to restore dignity OTTAWA - The federal government is acting on its pledge to implement the Canadian Youth Service Corps, outlined in Creating Opportunity: The Liberal Plan for Canada, with the announcement on Dec. 15 that the Honourable Ethel Blondin- Andrew, Secretary of State for Training and Youth, will chair round table discussions on the creation of the CYSC in key locations across the country. In making the announcement, Blondin-Andrew said, "the government is fulfilling its commitment to give young people in Canada a renewed sense or hope and accomplishment. The Canadian Youth Service Corps will give unemployed youth a chance to develop their skills and gain work experience while contributing to their community." N U The sessions will bring together young people, the private sector and community groups for their feedback on the design of the CYSC. Blondin-Andrew will also be contacting her provincial counterparts to elicit their views on the initiative. Based on these discussions, the federal government plans to have "lead site" CYSC projects in place early in 1994. "The Canadian Youth Service Corps is not designed to solve youth unemployment single- handedly," said Blondin- Andrew. "It will take direct aim at breaking the cycle of dependency on unemployment insurance and welfare experienced by so many of our young people in order to restore their sense of self-worth and dignity."

JANUARY 6. 1994 It SENIORS' NEWS How did you survive the holidays? By MAUDIE MacPHERSON Happy New Year! It's been a busy Christinas season. When I think back to the weeks preceding Christmas I wonder how I survived. Some of the interesting things seniors participated in were the Network's bus tour to. see the lights in Vancouver, the OAP dinner in the hall, the Network sherry and shortbread party, and the Choral Festival in the United Church. As for myself I was thrilled with "An Evening With Nat King Cole," a conceit held in the Surrey theatre plus the pantomime in White Rock as well as many other social events. I'm sure many seniors enjoyed din- ners such as the Legion Christmas dinner and parties in the complexes in which they live. That's 1993, now on to 1994. The first meeting of the OAP for this year will be held Friday Jan. 7 at 1:30 p.m. Guest speaker will be our steward Marj Mansell. All new senior residents in Aldergrove, and I know there are many, are welcome to come and School literacy tests TORONTO - An Ontario school board is proposing that grade 12 students pass a literacy test as a condition of graduation. The move by the North York board of education is an attempt • to make schools more accountable for the results of what they have been teaching students and would be a first in Canada. "Soaring to the average is not going to be our motto," said education director Veronica Lacey, who cited recent mediocre results of a provincial review of grade 12 writing as the impetus Tor the proposal. "The bottom line is the issue of accountability,* Lacey said. "\Cfe have to say publicly that we are reaching satisfactory levels of proficiency in literacy." The proposed test is designed to counter criticism from parents, employers and post-secondary institutions that students are often incompetent in English when they leave school. NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT THE MAT FOR YOUI ^V SI NCI t»50 CJLl° If you are new to our community, call the, welcome Wagon hostess. Remy-856-2711 (Answering service - 530-6000) join us. Membership cards will be available that day. The executive council will be sworn in at the meeting. Art Club will resume on Jan. 12. There is no instructor at present. The first Choral Group practice in the new year will be Monday, Jan. 10 at 7 o'clock in the OAP hall. Anyone interested in joining come and see how our group operates. Dances have been carrying on through the festive season. As last Wednesday's dance everyone had a good time. About 70 were there. Mike Pitts won both 50-50 draws. Spot dance went to Mildred Bennett and George Sperin. Joe Zegary of White Rock was welcomed. Seventy-one attended the New Year's Eve dance. The door prizes were won by Chris Lockhart and Mariam Schaeffer. The four 50-50 prizes we're won by Bill Minty, Nels Foulds, Bert Spencer, and Harry (didnt get his last name). Spot dances went to Evelyn Jamis and Stan Hays and Barney Goble and Laura Gunter. Frances and Norm were welcomed to the dance. Music for January will be Happy Gang for two weeks, Don ana Opal the third week and Norm Gunter and his Peppy Shakers for the fourth week. I'll miss Lorraine's dance reports, she's always been most co-operative. An old timer in the area. Bill Ferguson, passed away shortly before Christmas. Mr. Ferguson was well known in his butcher shop days in Aldergrove. I've been told how friendly and pleasant he always came across to his customers. This gentlemanly old senior will be missed. On Front Page Challenge recently, Fotheringham was discussing writing. He says if you have a good column you can write it in a very short time, but a poor column takes forever to get it together. This is possibly not quite how he explained it, but to me it meant if you are in the mood words flow easily while if you are not it takes a great deal longer time to express yourself. These are my sentiments, I'm not quite ready for 1994 but perhaps I'll improve as the year rolls by. The hall as usual was beautifully decorated thanks to Mary Sanderson and her helpers. It is a lot of work both putting up and taking down the decorations so Mary we want you to know we appreciate what you do each year. Are you feeling let down after the holidays. If you are feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back every morning. Alzheimer info meeting LANGLEY - This month there will be an information evening on Alzheimer disease and resources in our community.

OBITUARY PATERSON - Cheryl Lee, after a valiant fight against cancer. Cheryl, wife of Hugh Paterson, and mother of Trevor and Courtney, died peacefully Sunday, January 2nd, 1994 at the Rosewood Manor Extended Care Unit, of the Langley Memorial Hospital. Cheryl, who was bom in 1956, was predeceased by her lather, Lt. Col. C.V. Lilley, and her brother, Vincent. In addition to her loving husband and children Cheryl is survived by her mother and stepfather, Marie and Vic Traynor; sister, Deirdre and Harold Small; brothers Robert and James and a host of wonderful friends, doctors, nurses, and caregivers who were so kind to her during her 6 year fight. A memorial service was held at Henderson's Langley Funeral Home, 20786 Fraser Hwy., Thursday, January 6th at 3 pm. In lieu of flowers, Cheryl had requested that donations be made in her memory to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, so that she may carry on the fight for Courtney's future. Henderson's Langley 530-6488 CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH "The Gospel as it is for men as they are" 2946 - 272 St., Aldergrove COUNSELLING AVAILABLE 856-8117 COME TO CALVARY Bob Vance, Pastor of his success to his comprehensive campaigning and his strong education platforms. He feels strongly that "the school is an arm of the family and needs to welcome parental suggestions in the overall role of educating the child." In addition to welcoming parental input in the curriculum and values taught, he hopes to see more creative volunteer parent programs develop. "Parents can devote one-on-one time with other children that the teachers are not able to give, by volunteering for a few hours each week helping children to read and write," he suggests. A strong advocate for emphasizing the teaching of basic skills in the schools, he is concerned that students are graduating without a good grasp of necessary reading, writing, speaking, math, thinking and computing skills. "Universities shouldn't have to teach these basic skills. Schools should make these a priority above anything else." Chamberlain's decision to run as school board trustee came from the encouragement of colleague John Sutherland, head of the business and economics faculty at TWU, who served on the Abbotsford school board for ten years and stepped down this year. Although Chamberlain had considered political involvement before, he had never thought of serving at a municipal level. "After thinking it through, I realized that the school board is a place where you can really make a difference at a level of society that's really important." Although he is not comfortable with schools establishing programs specifically to teach moral values to children, he is committed to promoting good basic, traditional values within the system. "If the school board is making decision about things like curriculum, family life and the availability' of condoms, then I think options should be presented to children in these areas. This includes teaching about sexual abstinence, and creation in addition to the evolution theory.'' During his three year term as trustee in Abbotsford, Chamberlain will continue teaching political philosophy, ethics and apologetics at Trinity Western University, where he has taught for the last four years.

JANUARY 6. 1994 Yesterday's 'unlistenable' music is today's classics War amps cry foul for widows It's amazing what people once considered 'unlistenable'. Back in 1833, a German critic griped that Chopin's mazurkas were full of "ear-rending dissonances" and "repugnant contortions of melody and rhythm." A decade later, an English writer insisted that Franz Liszt wrote "the ugliest music extant." And in 1875, a Boston paper pronounced Tchaikovsky's work to be "strange, wild, ultramodern ... Could we ever learn to love such music?" Of course we could - and did. So is it any wonder that the same Ornette Coleman recordings that baffled and outraged jazz fans in the eariy 1960s now seem totally accessible? After a few hours with Beauty is a Rare Thing (Rhino/Atlantic Jazz 71410), the new six-CD collection of Coleman's recordings for Atlantic, it's almost hard to believe there was ever any fuss over the saxophonist's sound or style. Heard today, his music seems graceful, lyrical and daring, with a sense of voice and emotional immediacy rarely found in jazz. More to the point, Coleman's music has become oddly familiar over time. It isn't that his old albums have become jazz chestnuts on a par with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue or John Coltrane's Giant Steps (though maybe they should); rather, it's that Coleman's ideas so profoundly influenced the sound and shape of modern jazz that it's hard to hear him today without being aware of the way his work echoes through the playing of current stars like David Murray, Pat Metheny and even Wynton Marsalis. It wasn't always like that, of course, in fact, when Coleman first hit the scene, his arrival was treated with open derision by some of the biggest names in jazz. Although some supporters - in particular the Modern Jazz .Quartet's John Lewis and jazz scholar Gunther Schuller - argued that Coleman was an important innovator, a renegade whose music was every bit as vital and original as Charlie Parker's, others derided him as a failure and a fake. "Man, that cat is nuts," exclaimed Thelonious Monk. "He's got bad intonation, bad technique," scoffed Maynard Ferguson. "I think he's jiving, baby," said Roy Eldridge. "I don't know what he's playing," Dizzy Gillespie told Time magazine in I960. "But it's not jazz." Actually, it was jazz. But the way Coleman played it seemed to break every rule Gillespie knew. When jazz was in its infancy, improvization was simply a matter of melodic elaboration, a vari- ation-on-a-theme approach that carried on well into the swing era. But the melodic approach was too limited to work well beyond a chorus or two, so jazz soloists began looking for new sources of inspiration. Chordal improvization was the first breakthrough Instead of expanding on a song's melody, the solo would be based on the harmonies beneath that melody. For instance, if the accompaniment moved from F-minor 7th to B-flat 7th tb E-flat major 7th to C-minor 7th, the soloist could play off any of the notes in those chords instead of merely sticking with some spin on the melody. An instrumentalist could virtually reinvent a song (think of Coleman Hawkins' classic take on Body and Soul) without stepping outside its basic structure. Be-bop took that idea even further, introducing chord extensions and substitutions that expanded the harmonies without abandoning them. But Coleman's music swept all that aside, abandoning the notion of chord changes and fixed harmony. He and his sidemen simply played what they felt like - no chords, no rules, no structure. "Free jazz," the critics called it. No wonder guys like Gillespie thought it was anarchy unleashed. To many listeners in the '60s, free jazz meant confusion, cacophony, and noisy self-indulgence, the kind of atonal playing where anything went and it was impossible to tell the good from the bad. In many ways, this fear of free jazz parallelled the art world's antipathy to abstract expressionism (remember those 'My dog can paint better than that' jokes?) and so polarized the audience that many jazz fans simply refused to listen to Coleman. Helping kick the butts VANCOUVER - Smokers resolving to start the new year without cigarettes can get help from the British Columbia Lung Association. Hoping every smoker will want to be smoke-free in 1994, the association is offering free "Quit Tips" booklets that give advice on kicking the habit lot life. "Cigarette smoking is the single most important cause of preventable illness and premature death. Each year, more than 38,000 Canadians die from smoking-re- lated diseases such as lung cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Quitting smoking will improve your odds against these crippling lung diseases," says Kelly Ablog-Morrant, B.C. Lung Association director of health education and program services; TORONTO - "We are going to ask Parliament to examine the role of the Department of Veterans Affairs, in opposing a Charter application heard this week in the Ontario courts on behalf of war widows." This statement was made by Cliff Chadderton, head of the War Amps, and arises from an application in the Ontario Court of Justice which claims discrimination under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms against women who are in receipt of widows' pensions under the Veterans Pension Act. Such women are paid at a rate which is 25% less than that paid to their male counterparts; that is, approximately $1,600 a month for a single 100% male pensioner compared with $1,200 a month for a widow. "In affidavits filed under the name of senior department DVA officials the court was led to be-. lieve that the ultimate cost of this proposal would be $1.4-billion. Using the same basic statistics from D\A, our own actuaries have estimated that a successful deci sion from the court would result in a maximum cost of only $34- million a year, for widows who are already aged 73 - a figure which our lawyers gave to the court," Chadderton said. The head of the War Amps stated that DVA officials had provided the court with what he called another "bogeyman" scenario. The DVA officials, through affidavits filed by lawyers for the Department of Justice, stated that if the legislation were amended as requested by the War Amps, it could be expected that many widows whose husbands died when they were not in the top cate- gories would reapply. Chadderton, who has been dealing with the Pension Act for nearly 50 years, called this "improbable". He cited the information that pensions are awarded while a man is alive on the basis of a prescribed table of disabilities as required by the Pension Act. "It is highly unlikely," Chadderton stated, "that very many pensioners would have died at a time when they would have been considered as 'under- pensioned'. Therefore, DVA is stretching the point by suggesting that an amendment to the Act now would result in a large influx of new applications by widows attempting to get the pension rate increased for husbands who are already dead." Chadderton said that despite the attitude of DVA towards the claim, he was pleased with the final remarks of Mr. Justice Trainor who heard the case over three days starting on December 13. "In the first place, Justice Trainor quite probably has found discrimination. Our assumption here is based on the fact that he allowed our lawyer to proceed to suggest a remedy," he said. "Another good sign, from our viewpoint, is that at the end of the hearing he discussed the mechanics of issuing what is known in law as a declaration - in other words - a proposal to the government to remove the discrimination," he said. The judge's decision is expected by the end of January.

JANUARY 6. 1994 13 VANCOUVER - Socred leader Grace McCarthy said on Dec. 23 that a lack of specifics in the Harcourt government's new WCB legislation is confusing employers about the changes scheduled to come into effect on January 1. "First we were told by the WCB that babysitters would be covered under the new legislation, at a premium of $1 for every $100 in gross wages, regardless of the number of hours worked," McCarthy said. "Apparently, we hit a political nerve, because the damage control experts have now been instructed to counter that earlier information." McCarthy welcomed the WCB's revised opinion on this issue, which suggests that it is not the intent of the legislation to cover babysitters. McCarthy noted that the WCB is now saying that parents who hire babysitters on a "casual basis" will not be charged premiums. "Evidently the NDP have been pushed into clarifying this particular example of confusion stemming from the changes in expanded WCB coverage," said McCarthy. "The fact remains, however, that there are no clear written guidelines outlining who will, or Housing starts improve VANCOUVER - B.C. Housing starts were at their highest level in over three years during the third quarter of 1993, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Total housing starts were 12,201 units in the third quarter of 1993 which was the highest since the second quarter of 1990. "Strong housing demand has spurred on housing construction," said Helmut Pastrick, senior advisor. Low mortgage rates, government programs, high migration levels, and an economy have all contributed to the growth. : Nationally, starts edged higher to 159,000 units, seasonally adjusted at annual rates from 153,000 units starts in the previous quarter. B.c. had the highest starts in the country at 44,500 units. will not be subject to the new policy. "If the government is sending out mixed messages on an issue like this, you can bet that small business people are not getting straight answers on their questions regarding their obligations under the new policy. "The government's inability to clarify the intent of their new regulations is causing a great deal of confusion," McCarthy asserted. "But what about all of those small business people who still have no clear direction from this government as to their responsibilities under the new law? "Perhaps the Harcourt government will now move quickly to spell out what the intent of the new legislation really is and which employers are specifically excluded," McCarthy concluded. GATT and renewed commitment OTTAWA - Federal and provincial agriculture ministers renewed their commitment to maintain a strong agri-food industry in Canada at a Dec. 16 meeting to discuss the implications of the recent GATT agreement. Ministers reviewed the agreement, and said the major benefits included: • Rules that apply equally to all countries - The risk of damaging trade actions will be reduced because new rules will apply equally to all countries and country- specific exemptions will be eliminated. • Supply management able to continue - Supply management can continue to exist as a Canadian approach to producing and marketing dairy, poultry and eggs. • Export subsidies Will be reduced - Canadian farmers and' processors will be less subject to unfair competition resulting from foreign export subsidies. Reduced export subsidies in the grains and oilseeds sector should mean-world price increases overtime. *&.■£ • Improved access to foreign markets - Increased export opportunities will come from improved access to foreign markets, including Europe, Japan, Korea and other rapidly growing economies in Asia and Latin America. • Health and sanitary rules • A framework or rules will prevent misuse of health and sanitary measures as disguised barriers to trade.

Ministers recognized that the new GATT means Canada will have to examine a number of commitments related to export subsidies and adjusting domestic support. They pledged to work together with industry over the 18 months before the agreement takes effect on July 1, 1995, to ensure smooth and effective changes to federal and provincial agriculture policies and programs. Although Canada's preferred option of strengthening and clarifying Article XI regrettably did not carry the day in Geneva, Ministers were satisfied that the schedule of tariffs advanced by the federal Minister will sustain the environment for continuing national supply management systems in Canada. Ministers agreed Canada should take all necessary measures to maintain the tariff equivalents put forward in Geneva during-technical discussions before the legal agreement is signed in April 1994. It was recognized that adjustments will be necessary, including to supply management, as industry adapts to the new international trade environment. Ministers agreed to establish a small task-force to prepare an action plan within 8-10 weeks on how to renew supply management over the next 18 months. This task force would consult all stakeholders and report to the federal-provincial ministers on February 15. At that time, ministers will also review a strategy on how to maximize new market opportunities in the GATT agreement. All ministers underlined the-importance of federal and provincial governments, farm organizations, food industries, supply manage - ment agencies and farmers working together in the coming period to ensure an innovative and prosperous industry. TO CREATE POLITICAL PEACE Survey aims to make all-species inventory WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a nation obsessed with technical knowledge, American scientists have plotted the craters of the moon, traced the jagged paths of geological faults and unravelled the genetic code that shapes human life. "Yet one of the most obvious facets of the world around us remains surprisingly uncharted - the plants and animals of America. Although studies abound on individual bits of flora and fauna, no comprehensive catalogue or all embracing data base exists. And that void can have serious consequences - economic and social as well as scientific. Under the Endangered Species Act, when the government balances the survival of the snail darter or the spotted owl against the survival of jobs and communities, it often relies on information that is incomplete. Does the creature in question exist nowhere else? Do its problems foreshadow larger troubles with an entire landscape of living things? Definitive answers may not exist. Now, however, that is about to change, with a sweeping new federal initiative that Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt expects to launch this month. Known as the National Biological Survey, the project will attempt nothing less than a complete census of all living things except humans in the United States - establishing an evolving inventory of animals and plants and the complex web of tire communities they form. "The purpose is to make certain we understand the nature and health of all ecosystems," Babbitt said in an interview. 'It's an adventuresome task. It's never been done before." By sounding early warnings for natural resources in trouble, the survey could revolutionize the nation's conservation movement. To biologists, it could offer the last best hope of identifying and preserving unique species and ecosystems before they slip into extinction For the Clinton administration, the NBS is more than that: It is an ambitious attempt to defuse the bitter controversies that erupt almost every time the Endangered Species Act, the nation's most powerful conservation tool, is enforced. As such, the survey is the administration's boldest attempt to reconcile two of its key campaign promises: to protect American jobs and safeguard the environment. "Are there still going to be more species added to the endangered species list? Sure," Babbitt said. "But we can get rid of a lot of the pain caused by this last-minute intensive care approach ... I am more convinced than ever that the Endangered Species Act in its present form has a lot of flexibility." in launching the survey, he added, "my real priority is to move in on conflict resolution." Babbitt predicted that the survey in some instances could turn up evidence that the population of a disputed species is more robust or widespread than thought, clearing the way for developers. In many more cases, he added, survey scientists would provide eariy warning that a species has come under pressure, giving policy makers time to respond with flexible approaches that would blend conservation efforts with . commercial use of the species' habitat. "If (the survey) had been done in the Pacific Northwest, we could have seen the trouble coming 12 years ago," said Thomas Lovejoy, a Smithsonian Institution biologist and Babbitt's science adviser on the project's startup, referring to the spotted owl versus logging dispute. Lovejoy added that a comprehensive survey might also have averted one of the most titanic struggles ever fought over the Endangered Species Act - a drama in which a tiny fish, the snail darter, delayed construction of a major Tennessee dam for six years before Congress intervened and passed an exemption. Soon after the struggle ended, scientists discovered the fish - which purportedly lived only in the waterway in question - also lived in several nearby rivers. But piecing together such complex eco puzzles will be' a substantial challenge. "Much like the U.S. Geological Survey, this wil] be a permanent operation," Lovejoy said. "You don't do it overnight. What you do is approach it increment by increment and improve the picture over time. We are trying to create the biological equivalent of the Library of Congress." Biologists estimate conservatively that 10 million species of plants and animals may exist in the world today.

JANUARY 6. 1994 Heritage society has history, too ALDERGROVE - The Alder Grove Heritage Society was formed in 1989. In 1990 it was registered as a non-profit organization and in 1992 the society became registered with Revenue Canada as a charitable organization, able to issue income tax deductible receipts. The 160 members of the society are currently involved with three projects; writing and publishing "The Place Between - Aldergrove and Communities", a 640 page hard cover book, restoration of the Shortreed cabin which dates back to 1887; and restoration of the FJ. Hart/B.C. Telephone building, located at 3190 - 271 Street. "The Place Between - Aldergrove and Communities", includes 450 family stories as well as community stories with over 500 pictures. Stories on transportation from horse and buggy days to the first Jitney Bus service, paddle-wheel steamers on the Fraser River, logging and saw-milling, fishing, railway services, post office histories, roads, stores, and government land settlements of the Royal Engineers are all in the book. Stories are told of our Native Indians, Chinese, East Indian, and Japanese families who resided in this area. Once the F.J. Hart/B.C. Telephone building restoration is completed, the building will be used as the society office, and as a telephone museum. They envision this as a community resource. The facility will be open to schools for educational purposes, and they anticipate having the telephone pioneers sharing their knowledge with visitors. Other activities which the members take part in are; serving as bingo and casino volunteers, membership drives, and dressing in costume to participate in parades and Heritage Days activities. They also enjoy the guest speakers at meetings, who speak about the history of the area. The Alder Grove Heritage Society meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. . in the Aldergrove Veteran's Resort Society building, 27274 Fraser Highway. Monthly directors meetings are held in the society offices in the Aldergrove Mall at Unit *9 - 3100 272 Street, Aldergrove, B.C.

This year a total of »3,235. was raised to benefit Langley Memorial Hospital Scarred man wins case OTTAWA - A man whose speech is slurred has won a $6,000 court settlement from a dating agency which promised to revive his confidence with women. Alan Morrison, 35, was terribly injured in a motorcycle accident 10 years ago. He still walks on a tilt and occasionally jerks his head, but he said the physical scars are not his main problem. ' "The emotional scars are such that I am afraid, scared of women. It's the way I walk, the way I talk," he told an Ottawa small claims court. He said the Toronto-based Together dating service charged him $2,400 , but only introduced him to two of the 36 women it promised. One of them was already dating someone else and the other was not interested. Morrison complained and the company refunded $1,757 of the original fee, but he went to court to demand more. Foundation. This money will go towards much needed equipment. The winner of the coveted title of Master Tree Trimmer is ^incity Credit Union with their Fat Cat theme. Runner-up was the law firm of Severide, Staplin, McCallum & Co. Local businesses participated in the Festival of Trees by buying a tree and decorating it in their own style to view for the title of Master Tree Trimmer. The many guests at Newlands during the month of December were able to vote on the best tree with a $ 1. donation to Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. "It is a wonderful event to bring the business community together in support of our hospital", says Helen Kirby, director of LMH Foundation, "and everyone has so much fun decorating the trees!" Participating businesses were Aldergrove Credit Union, Bank of Hong Kong, Deloitte & Touche, Shepherd Business Group, Ella's Clothes Closet, Langley Times, Langley Totem Guild Society, Lower & Edwards, McDonalds Restaurants, Moneys Mushrooms, Save On Foods, Severide, Staplin McCallum & Co., Sutton group award realty, Trove Cottage, and Vancity Credit Union. Sip taking of (Book A Book Review by Ken Lang A Great Season for Canadian Books In the fall of 1993, Canadian authors dominated the fiction charts as never before. Five—often six—of the top ten woe penned by Canadians. The greatest commercial success was The Robber Bride (M&S), Margaret Atwood's novel about the impact of an "evil woman" on the lives and families of three female friends. But as I write, The Stone Diaries (Random House) by Carol Shields has topped Atwood for three weeks, propelled by a nomination for England's Booker Prize and victory in the Governor General's Awards. Like her latest paperback, The Republic of Love (Fawcett), The Stone Diaries is beautifully written, and Ms. Shields is finally getting the recognition she richly deserves. Canada's other Booker nominee, Michael Ignatieff, is not faring as well with Scar Tissue (Viking), a son's account of his mother's decline into Alzheimer's Disease. Though well-written, scientific information and philosophical speculation too often slow the narrative. Livelier stories are told by Yves Beauchemin and W.O. Mitchell. Beauchemin's Juliette (M&S), set in Montreal, contains a gallery of eccentric characters, though the focus is on tbe heroine. After discovering she has a life- threatening illness, Juliette is determined to track down her niece Adele, who mysteriously disappeared years before, leaving her son Denis behind. Mitchell's The Black Bonspiel of Willie MacCrimmon (M&S) is a short comic novel based on the sport of curling. It's also a variation on the legend of Doctor Faust, who sold his soul to tbe Devil for power and knowledge. Here, Willie cuts a different deal. If he beats the Devil, he wins the Canadian Brier, if he loses, he'll join the team Down Under for an infinite number of Celestial Briers. In a romantic mode, three books have done extremely well. Nick Bantock con cluded his internationally successful Griffin & Sabine trilogy with The Golden Mean (Raincoast Books), while Jane Urquhart, winner of the Best Foreign Book Award from France, released Away (M&S). But the surprise is Leonard Cohen's Stranger Music (M&S), a selection of poems and songs from nearly four decades. So far the book has hit number two—a rarity for poetry. Another book in the limelight is Mavis Gallant's Across the Bridge: New Stories (M&S), which includes a sequence about tbe Carette family of Montreal, and several others located in Paris. And Nino Ricci returned with In a Glass House, the sequel to his #1 bestseller Lives of the Saints (Cormorant). Assorted Nonfiction The big nonfiction book was undoubtedly Pierre Elliott Trudeau's Memoirs (M&S). Generously illustrated with color and black- and-white photos, this may be the only autobiographical volume we'll see from one of our most charismatic and controversial prime ministers. Faultlines: Struggling for a Canadian Vision (HarperCollins), by political journalist Jeffrey Simpson, outlines the thinking of eight Canadians shaping our future, including Georges Erasmus, Preston Manning, Lucien Bouchard and Clyde Wells. If you like politics but need comic relief, you should get a laugh or two from Adrian Raeside's cartoons in The Demented Decade: The Mulroney Years—What Really Happened... (Doubleday). Better yet, check out the wild satire in The Best of Frank: Four Years of Exposing the Guilty, Provoking the Greedy and Mocking the Powerful (Random House). Finally, if you're tempted to charge your books, get Card Tricks: Bankers, Boomers and the Explosion of Plastic Credit (Viking) by Ann Finlayson and Sandra Martin. You'll likely think twice. < fcf «a * i! il» * i Muii & (%w;W:i t> by CrimlM|f^^|Pp|B & &o&~ offence. Bpfri&n^rjg-mWfa,%&prf&&'%' helping us craliji down on the Problem. This — THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

LANGLEY 534-4154 Dealer Licence No. 9307 Baby, it's getting c-c-cold outside VANCOUVER - With the weather turning colder outside and the holiday season in full swing, the BC Veterinary Medical Association wants you and your special family pet to have a save and healthy winter. They offer the following tips and suggestions to help you both survive the busy season ahead: • Automobile antifreeze is sweet tasting to your pet and highly toxic. Even a small amount can kill your pet. Ensure that driveway spills are cleaned up thoroughly and that the caps are put on tightly. Consult your veterinarian about pet-safe alternatives to traditional anti-freeze. • Cats love the warmth of a recendy driven car engine on a cold winters day. Before you drive away, make sure you are not carrying an extra passenger. • Pets, especially dogs, need to keep up with their exercise in the winter. Walk your dog daily (it will be good for you too!) but watch out for sharp ice that can cut feet. When you return, make sure to remove any snowballs from between your dog's toes and dry him off thoroughly. • Watch your pet closely for weight gain in the winter and adjust their diet accordingly. Obesity can cause serious health problems in pets fust like in people. Keep the holiday treats like chocolates out of the reach of your pet and make sure they cant get at any turkey or chicken bones which can splinter and lodge in their throats. • Keep on top of the flea situation. Fleas can survive quite nicely in the milder areas of BC and in the warmth of your pet's living quarters. Continue to spray and give flea baths as necessary. • Entertaining can be great fun for the family but stressful for your pet. Your dog or cat may be happier in their kennel or in a quiet room while you celebrate the season • Provide your outdoor pets with warm, dry and wind-proof shelter and make sure that their water bowls have not frozen. Don't forget to put out a little extra feed for our feathered friends, who may need our help to get through the winter. • Please remember that Christmas is not the best time to give a pet as a gift. Animals need a lot of attention and supervision when first introduced to a new home and their needs may get overlooked in the bustle of the festivities. If you ' know someone who would love to have a new pet - give them a gift certificate or take them shopping after the holidays when everyone has a litde more time. NDP introduces rent control VICTORIA - The New Democratic government plans to wade into the rental market whenever tenants complain and allow only rent increases it considers just. Housing minister Joan Smallwood called the rent protection plan "fair and practical." The plan will allow tenants disputing rent increases to remain in their suites while their complaints are being considered by the ministry's beefed-up residential tenancy branch. Smallwood said there will be no fixed cap on rent increases, instead, the branch will rule on a case-by-case basis as to whether the landlord's costs have climbed enough to justify the increase. "The current vacancy rate in Vancouver is less than one percent. Because we expect the rental market to tighten even further, introducing rent protection now is a preventative measure* said Smallwood. But a lobby group for the landlord was hostile to the proposal. "The government is completely out of touch with the real- ities of the housing situation," said Ed Whitlock of the Rental Housing Council of BC. Whitlock said rents in this province have gone up less than three percent a year for the past three years. "If the minister Considers three percent to be unjustified, she should look at what property owners have been facing as a consequence of increased taxation arid indirect costs like utility charges," said Whitlock. i 1 I I 1 i 1 I I I I i 1 i i ^^ EDALEEN DAIRyM LOCATED ONE MILE SOUTH OF ALDERGROVE BORDER 1 lb.
