— ^—— — : HowSu|pf Brian asked t-?*7***iWt^* MURRAYVILLE - Prime Minister Brian Mulroney will be getting a letter from Langley. Council members here voted unanimoustyMhis week to write Mulroney and ask him a simple question: How much is the promotion of the 'yes-no' referendum question going to cost the Canadian taxpayer. It has already been disclosed that the making of the Charlottetown 'deal' will cost somewhere between $150- and $200-million, but councilors here, spurred on by Aubrey Searle, want to know how much the promotional campaign is going to cost. By the time they get their answer, it'll be all over. VOL.34 NO.42 THURSDAY. OCT.22.1992 Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 Let's pull as one, local Grit urges By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Local Liberal MLA Gary Farrell-Collins says Monday's constitutional referendum asks "the type of questions that won't bring us together. It's time we stopped being' hyphenated Canadians, time we worked together. If we're buying into this country we're equal to every other Canadian, we all have the same rights. I don't believe in dividing us on racial or ethnic lines." He spoke to the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce meeting last week. While the provincial chamber board has endorsed the accord, the local chamber has not chosen to take a stand on the issue. Farrell-Collins brought his arguments for a No vote to a largely sympathetic audience. He MLA Gary Farrell-Collins says his "heart says yes, but his head says no." said westerners are "alienated" because "nobody (in Ottawa) hears what we have to say about monetary i policy and 'taxation" among other concerns. Since the largest population base is in Central Canada, "politicians pay close attention to what goes on in Ontario and Quebec." This resulted in higher interest rates for the benefit of Central Canada when their economies were overheating and inflation was rising, even though B.C. as an export-dependent economy, trying to recover from a recession, couldn't sell its goods abroad because of the resultant high dollar. He said our salvation was the concept of a triple-E Senate, but premier Mike Harcourt was "hoodwinked" at the first ministers' talks into giving Quebec and Ontario more power in the House of Commons in exchange for a one-and-a-half-E Senate. This means that, "At the very best we're no worse off than before, and at the very worst the Senate wont be effective at all. This wouldn't be so bad, we could change it later if it doesn't work, but the accord says any further amendments require unanimous support of the House of Commons. Do you think Ontario or Quebec will open it once again? Not likely. It would be political suicide for the party or premier that decides to do that. "The new structure is not only risky but if it doesn't work we can't do anything about it," says Farrell-Collins. The agreement has been called a "miracle" but "I don't want to have to have a miracle every time we want to change the constitution." He also called the transfer of Please see page 2... Senate cfily "IV2-E 55 LANGLEY - The 1992 Charlottetown constitution will give Canadians not a 'triple-E' but rather "something like a one- and-a-half-E senate," says national Reform party leader Preston Manning. It may be equal, Manning says, but it will also be only 'halfway' elected (Under the deal provincial legislators can 'elect' the senators, rather than leaving this process up to the voters), and it will be totally ineffective. Manning proposes instead that senators be elected by the public at large. As for the constitution, itself, the Reform leader says it should be drafted by "the democratic process." The voters of the country should elect a new set of 'fathers of confederation' who would then gather and draft up a working agreement. After that, they would disband and forever after be barred from seeking political office of any kind. That would allow for absolutely no conflict of interest during the actual process. 40CENTS ago. Ted Panzer, who celebrated his 100th birthday, Saturday, posed with another photo taken 99 years couNcmns accuse) oFmNKEmmy -Tim Attwood photo 'Repent', says Westwood MURRAYVILLE - "Shape up, or we'll ship you out," a feisty delegate told a somber-looking council here Monday night. Brian Westwood, of the south Langley civic group 'Council of Ratepayers' reminded council members that his group helped put most of them in office and could tiave them removed as well. He said their "collective action" since they came into office had been disappointing to say the least. Westwood and fellow delegate Janice Fulton accused councilors of having forgotten that they were elected to serve the public, not to impose their own visions upon the people of Langley. Westwood specifically mentioned council's "constant tinkering and amendments of the community plan", of having given the initial two readings to the Chartwell development in southwest Langley, of "having breached" their own moratorium on gravel pits by allowing a new one in the south Aldergrove area, and of having ignored the recommendations of the 'Langley Tomorrow1 survey. "We are putting you on notice, pay attention or you'll pay the piper," Westwood said, urging councilors to recant. Fulton followed in the same vein, accusing council members of a "lack of leadership." She said COR and the individual groups that make up this body all were opposed to "unbridled development" in Langley, and referred to the local council as "a pushover" for the development industry. "You have violated our trust," Fulton said. "Morally you have no right to sit on council." There was loud applause from the visitors gallery when she also concluded by urging the council members to "recommit" themselves. Councilors seemed stunned by this ban-age. "I find this indictment rather disturbing," Coun. Aubrey Searle finally said. "It merits sober reconsideration." As for the proposed Chartwell golf course and housing development, Coun. John Scholtens pointed out, the plans would still have to go to a public hearing in the Fernridge area. "Some like it and some don't," he said. "For every action there is a reaction," said Coun. Trudi Campen. "That is what makes it so difficult to sit up here. We have to balance (public opinion)." Only Coun. Muriel Arnason was ready to throw it all out on the spot. The other six council members decided to let the Chartwell proposal proceed to a scheduled public hearing. It was also learned that just on the other side of Zero Avenue, in Whatcom county, U.S.A., officials are toying with the idea of developing a 1,000-acre housing project. Langley resident Fred Trzaskowski has urged local council to consult with the city of Blaine "as to how this project may have an impact on us." Paper bin torched ^ ALDERGROVE - The local Elks' club newspaper recycling . bin was torched by arsonists last Thursday evening. The wood frame structure was totally destroyed, despite the best efforts of local firefighters. The bin helps the club raise funds for local community projects and youth clubs. However, with the current low prices for newspap>er, there is a very small margin of profit. The loss of the bin is a severe financial setback for the club.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 Firemen attack the flames from above in a bid to prevent an early morning blaze from consuming the entire 20300-block of Fraser Highway in Langley. The blaze ripped through six businesses on Fraser Highway early Saturday morning. The fire started in the Pizza Palace restaurant. -Tim Attwood photo. Fire lays mall flatf LANGLEY - Half a dozen stores on Fraser Highway were destroyed by fire, Saturday night Damage is estimated at $1- million for the storefronts of Greenacres Realty, Lovestuff, Pizza Palace, Initially Yours, Parker Mattress City and a security system retailer. Police - and fire officials are investigating the blaze. Terry Branigan of Greenacres told The Star that the 14-person staff of the company are continuing operations, although most are working from their homes until a temporary location has been found, hopefully within the week. The receptionist is still available at 534-9277, and "we're still in business," says owner Bernie Shepherd. The company expects to return to the mall, once rebuilt. Sumas Indians restless SUMAS - A battle over native self-government is brewing here as the Sumas band accuses the federal government of trampling on Indian rights by cancelling a lease agreement between the band and a company that wants to build an industrial waste incinerator on Sumas Mountain. The band-owned Sumas day Products had subleased some of their property to Bennett Remediation Services for the proposed project, which had incited the wrath of other residents and Abbotsford municipality. The federal government stepped into the. fray, promising a stop-work order until an environmental review had been completed on the proposal, and threatened to cancel the sublease if the stop order was not complied with. Sumas Cla^s general manager, Larry Ned hand-delivered a refusal to comply, to the Vancouver Indian Affairs office last week. He accused the government of interference to "appease a vociferous minority of non- Indian objectors. to the Bennett project in the hope that they will be thereby induced not to vote 'no' on Oct. 26th." Ned said the band would draw up its own environmental guidelines, which would put public health before profits, whether or not Canadians vote, in favor of native self-government. Remember to vote on Monday Do you agree that the Constitution of Canada should be renewed on the basis of the agreement reached on August 28,1992? Acceptez-vous que la Constitution du Canada solt renouvelee sur la base de I'entente conclue le 28 aout 1992? 'Mother' of Ozone effect studied off-loading agreements From front... powers to the provinces the "mother of all off-loading agreements... with nothing to say who's going to pay for them." Recalling that the provincial government blamed their current $1.3-billion deficit on federal offloading and transfer payment cuts, Farrell-Collins said he found it "curious" that the • province would be so willing to accept more of it. The social and economic covenant has set goals and ■entrenched health care as priority objectives, but Farrell-Collins said, "the only guarantee is if you can pay for it The government should concentrate to ensure the economy prospers I so the country can. pay for social programs. We shouldn't promise things if we can't do that." He also knocked the inter- provincial barriers to trade, noting that goods and services will move more freely between European Economic Community countries after the Masstricht Treaty is signed this year. "How can we hope to compete if we can't sell to ourselves on a competitive basis?" Farrell-Collins said, "In my heart I want to vote Yes but my head says No. It's not a perfect deal, and if anyone wants to vote Yes, dcjrt't hold your nose when you vojl, stand up straight and proud. If you want to vote No, be proud and don't let anyone call you a bad Canadian." In response to questions, he said the referendum is more of a plebiscite than referendum because the results are only binding on the province of Alberta, and that frustrated voters shouldn't choose to destroy their ballots because that won't send a clear message to the politicians. "People really want their say. I feel the constitution should be there to protect people from the government and I hope that in the future politicians don't have political agendas mixed in with the constitution. The attitude of 'let's stick it to Brian Mulroney* is unfortunate." He also said the economic threats and financial uncertainty that have come out during the campaign are a real concern, but are something, "we have to live with for a little white. It costs money to be a Canadian." He knocked Mulroney for not acting the way the "biggest salesman for the country" should be, but said provincial finance minister Glen Clark was at fault for travelling to London last week to "tell bond. traders and investors that a No Vote won't make any difference in the province. One story for B.C. and another for outside the country. What do you do? "In B.C. the constitution isn't one-tenth as important as the upcoming labor legislation. Bond traders in New York are more concerned with our labor history and the new laws than a Yes or No vote," said Farrell- Collins. AGASSIZ - Researchers at Agriculture Canada's Agassiz Research Station and the University of British Columbia are setting out to discover the extent to which Fraser Valley agricultural crops are being damaged by low-level ozone pollution. The five-year ■ study "will provide conclusive evidence of the extent of ozone damage to the $400-milhon Fraser Valley agriculture industry. It will also play a key role in the formulation of air quality policy for authorities such as the Greater Vancouver Regional District and the provincial Ministry of Environment. The $475,000 study; an initiative of the Agassiz Research Station, is funded under Canada's Green Plan. It is being conducted by Pat Bowen, vegetable physiologist at the research station, and Victor Runeckles, a professor in UBC's Dept of Plant Science, who is also an adjunct research scientist at Agassiz. Earlier studies by Runeckles showed that ozone levels are high enough in certain sections of the valley to decrease crop yields by as much as 10 to 15 per cent,' but the results were preliminary. The situation is not as 10,000 plants seized MATSQUI - Police have charged three people, including an Aldergrove man, in what is described as one of the largest hydroponic marijuana grow operations in the nation. Charged are John Oosterhoff of Aldergrove and Mite and Susan . Wojciechowski of Mission. Police said they seized 9,888 plants valued at $1.9-million. extreme as in Southern California, where certain crops simply can't be grown because of ozone. But pollution levels experienced in the Fraser Valley in recent years would translate into significant losses for some crops," said Runeckles. Ozone has physiological and biochemical effects that reduce yields, retard plant growth and slow the process of photosynthesis. Crops in which the fruit or seeds of a plant are harvested are particularly susceptible. While ozone damage has been widely studied, especially in smog-plagued Southern California, its severity varies widely from crop to crop, even variety to variety. Californian and other studies therefore have limited application to the Fraser Valley. "We don't know what the impact is on locally-grown crops. This study will fill in the gap," said Runeckles and Bowen. The study involves eight 100- square-metre plots located on the UBC campus. The plots will be planted with a range of crops important in the Fraser Valley. A system of overhead pipes will expel ozone in varying amounts to the different plots, covering the range of ozone levels observed in the valley in past years. This method of exposing crops to ozone, known as a Zoned Air Pollution System (ZAPS), will ensure that the range of exposures studied will be compatible with other meteorological environmental conditions. By conducting the experiments over several years, it will be possible to determine differences in the impact of ozone on crops in different growing seasons.

Fraser Way 852-4900 AND IT WONT STOP 'WRANGLING' Not much of a deal, says Reform's Manning LANGLEY - "Are you a traditionalist or a changer?" asked Reform leader Preston Manning as the guest speaker at a well- attended rally here last week. Manning said the old concepts of left, right and center on the political firmament no longer exist. In the future it will be conservative-traditionalist versus 'changer', he said. And obviously the Reform movement counts itself in the latter category. Speaking to an enthusiastic audience of about 1,500 people,- Manning outlined four reasons why his party is saying kNOw more! to the constitutional referendum this coming Monday. Preston Manning fears a weaker nation with accord's approval. For one, he said, acceptance of the Charlottetown accord would "weaken, rather than strengthen federal powers." Two, "What are the economic implications of this agreement? It has delivered four open-ended financial commitments, four blank cheques. You think we've got problems now?" Three, "It makes federal institutions more difficult to change." And finally, "It will not bring constitutional peace. It will not bring the constitutional wrangling to an end. It will be deepening, broadening and perpetuating the wrangling." Manning urged reform in the areas of the economy, politics and criminal justice as outlined in the party's platform. "You will hear no promises from us to spend more," he said, with reference to the next general election. A reform government, he said, will balance the federal budget which now runs in the red to the tune of some $30- billion a year, and "within three years we will remove the GST." Manning then sp-oke of "tightening up"- the-Young Offenders Act, victims' rights*and a "binding national referendum on capital punishment.",. Political reform? Ah yes, that too. Introduction under a Reform government of Citizens' Initiative, Recall, and "elected officials more accountable to the citizens." Getting back to the immediate future, the outcome of Monday's national referendum, Manning had this to say: "Nobody asked for perfection (in the constitutional agreement). But we must say No to errors of the past and the present before we say Yes to the future." On the lighter side, Manning told the audience that a six- month-old beagle had been found to be on the voters list in a small town in Ontario, and he also had this joke with which to delight the audience: There was this constitutional lawyer, see, who passed away and went to the place where all good lawyers eventually go. "No not that place, he went to the other place." And when St. Peter answered the bell at the Pearly Gate, our lawyer friend asked to speak to God. 'Can't do that,' said Peter, 'but I'll ask Him for you if you have a jquestion.' Yes, ask Him if there ever will be constitutional peace in Canada. Peter went, and returned. 'In answer to your question, He says that yes, there will be constitutional peace in Canada, but no, not in His lifetime. The Reform Party of Canada has about 30,000 members in British Columbia, and 130,000 members nation-wide. It will field candidates in each of B.C.'s 32 federal ridings come the next election. Most of these have already been nominated. Party, says Manning, will bring "fundamental change" to the political scene and assist at the birth of a new Canadian federalism. Conveyor across the border? MATSQUI - An application for a gravel conveyer belt across the international border south of Clearbrook is running into opposition from local residents and government. The site, 40 acres in Canada and 173 acres in Washington state, would convey gravel from the American pit to the dispatch base in B.C. The scheme, advanced by Kamloops businessman' . David Taylor, would save trucking millions of tonnes of gravel through the border crossing at Huntingdon-Sumas. Applications have been made by W750 Holding Ltd. to the various governments and agencies that have authority over the area and scheme. Proponents plan to store the soil on the American side and replace it on the land after the gravel has been mined, so that it can return to agricultural - use. However, residents and the municipality of Matsqui have stated their opposition to the plan, citing concerns over noise, pollution and heavy trucks. W750 Holding Ltd. will be making a presentation to Matsqui council, with the hope of swinging a vote in their favor. THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 It's no surprise: § Where's the value? By NIGEL HANNAFORD Having bought into a constitutional 'deal' which .makes the senate equal and elected if not terribly effective, it should be of little surprise that Messrs Harcourt and Sihota would legislate that half the seats should be held by women. Why no surprise? Simple. If they felt that strongly about proportional representation by sex, they might have suggested something similar foi the B.C. legislature. That, however, is a bit too close to home and it's not hard to imagine the fireworks that would cause. (Which constituencies would have to drop men to make way for women? What if the local party had any ideas? My word, I'd love to see the NDP sort that one out). The senate though? Well, it doesn't mean much anyway, so use it as a bone to throw the feminists. Lord knows, they nag worse than an old fishwife, but we gotta have them on board, right Moe? Rest assured, if the above- mentioned Harcourt and Sihota thought there was any real power to rest in the senate envisaged under the Son-of-Meech constitutional document, they wouldn't have been so quick to make apolitical gesture of it. All of which makes one wonder why, if that's all it means to them, any of the rest of us should think it worth voting for. rtKLL; canada SEASON FOR TO DO IT... MAVBE. \r\ki\lL K LETTERS TO THE EDITOR m§ McNews du Jour 'Pseudo-statesmen' a disgrace Editor, The Star, Sir, After years of Meech Mcnews du jour that would make a leprechaun blush and divisive bilLiongualism under the guise of "united" Canada, Canadians now have the opportunity on October 26 of voting NO to forced official bilingualism and language police. A yes vote is a blank cheque that would entrench bilingualism ("linguistic duality") in our constitution and much >more. For four years our politicians have failed to list any advantages that would benefit all Canadians if the mean-spirited Official Languages Act of 1988 (federal bilingual bill C-72, based on Canada's bilingual myth) is enforced. Some transient politicians are still bent on a crusade of forced official bilingualism and institutionalized discrimination. Theyve taken the noble idea of bilingualism' and tolerance for other cultures and languages and debased - it with dictatorial decree, language police, and intolerance towards demoncracy. 98 percent of our daily newspapers in nine of ten provinces are printed in English. That doesn't diminish the beautiful. French-Canadian language and culture. It does underline Canada's reality. If anyone still imagines that Canada is bilingual,...drive across it. I did. It isn't To pretend that it is bilingual and enshrine that pretense in the proposed constitution could divide Canada and unravel the very social fiber that unites us and makes our country great Is "linguistic duality" a euphemism for linguistic brutality where Canadians: Can't advance to upper levels in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, civil service or armed forces unless they're bilingual? Can't hang an outside sign in English in our province of Quebec' Can't stop elitist mandarins overgoverning and wasting billions on bilingualism? Can't speak English to bilingual civil servants who refuse to speak English? Can't sell candy bars with only English on the wrapper? Cant change myth-based language laws without Quebec politicians' consent' Can't defend voting for C-72? Cant question C-72 or Meech-2 without being called vile names? Can't question the idea that some Canadians are more equal than others? alfssi JIM GRANT St. Catherines, Ont. Editor, The Star, Sir The Chadottetown Accord should have been infinitely superior to what eventually transpired. Canada's political process is terminally ill, when, instead of a conference of statesmen to solve our 125 years old problems, a group of politicians armed with shopping- lists and beggars' bowls in hand arrived looking for parochial deals. They should have looked at a huge map of Canada with all the Provincial boundaries blanked out, just one big country. Then, and only then, they should have set out to design a system of ' citizen - equality, regardless of race, colour, creed or geographical location. Each citizen (when he or she yoted) would then know that each ballot would be equal to everyone elses. Then, re-apply the Provincial boundaries so that 27,000,000 citizens would applaud the results. The other main concern is the complete lack of honesty by the pseudo-statesmen who are crisscrossing the country in an attempt to stampede a "yes" vote. If the "yes" side wins, they suggest, prosperity will follow: What a sham! These same politicians spend 35 billion dollars a year more than they receive. The national debt is 300 billion dollars and rising daily. Canada is close to bankruptcy. Their suggestion of an economic upturn and fuller employment can only be achieved by borrowing tens of billions of dollars more. Next time, and there will be a next time, let us send statesmen without shopping lists and begging bowls to do what is best for Canada and all Canadians. A. RATTRAY 2941 Babich St. Abbotsford It's a good deal, says premier Editor, The Star, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you why I believe the Canadian Unity Agreement is good for the Canadian economy and good for the B.C. business community. Your "Yes" vote is imperative to enable our country and our province to remain a strong, unified and stable economic force. As the next step in the evolution of Canada, this Oh Canada, thou sweet land of hope Editor, The Star, Sir, Please find a poem my father John West wrote many years ago. He came to Canada in 1890 and this song about Canada seems suitable at this time. I remember his singing it to we children when I was about ten years old, and I am seventy-seven now. Sweet Land of Hope Sweet land of hope, so fair and free. Twas hearts of oak who nurtured thee. The Maple Leaf is holding on Frogs and beavers, all the same Editor, The Star, Sir- Mr. Nigel Hannaford's piece on our Tax Freedom Day, and particulariy your theory that so long as it's done in small increments any tax increase will be tolerated in Canada, reminds me of an analogy the environmental movement likes to make. Apparently if you drop a frog into boiling water it will leap out (no surprise there) but if you put it into cold water and very gradually increase the temperature it will allow itself to be boiled to death without moving. Evidently the same applies to beavers. JOHN S.P. ROBSON Policy Analyst Fraser Institute from Old Quebec to far Yukon. Chorus; Where, wild rivers flow, And the pine trees grow.

Aldergrove JsSp? Agreement provides the means by which we can be united and confident in our country's pursuit of economic growth. In addition, it puts an end to years of wrangling over constitutional issues, giving us the foundation we need to go forward and tackle other pressing concerns. By voting "Yes" we can strengthen our position in the global market, and bring about the political stability necessary for economic recovery from the current recession. We've already seen how skepticism and doubt concerning the referendum has undermined worldwide confidence in our stability as a trading power. Our economic viability and growth potential is largely tied to a perception that we are a united and stable country with a strong future. The uncertainty following a "No" vote would undermine that standing in the global economy. As further evidence of the damage a "No" vote could cause, consider the Royal Bank's recent report underlining the unity debate as a pocket book concern. The Bank pointed out that disunity means economic instability resulting in a cut in our standard of living, with a drop of as much as $10,000 in ^^^■j^^1'^ ?*• Please see page 5— MORE LETTERS And lots of benefits From page 4... annual real income for the average household, a devalued dollar, and a significant loss of jobs. In addition, the Royal Bank noted Canada would fall behind as our competitors, advance. I've just returned from leading a trade mission of over 30 B.C. companies and business organizations to the United States. And while it is difficult to be certain about the full costs of a "No" vote, if there is one thing we heard clearly, it's that investors dont like uncertainty. A "No" vote means continued uncertainty. This year's budget shows this government is working hard to bring down the deficit and get B.C's finances under control. Recent economic uncertainty has already led to higher interest rates. Higher interest rates make it all the more difficult to get our deficit under control. Rejection of the Canadian Unity Agreement will be of no help to B.C. I believe the Unity Agreement is good for Canada and especially for us as British Columbians. Let me focus on the key benefits this Agreement provides for our province: • Reforms to Parliament make B.C. a winner. B.C. gets seven new seats in the House of Commons over the next six years, instead of just two under the old rules. A "No" win leaves B.C. with unfair representation. • A new, stronger Senate - equal, elected and effective - gives B.C. and the West greater influence over protecting our natural resource wealth and setting interest rates. And in the reformed Senate, Western Canada will have almost 40 per cent of the Senate seats while Ontario and Quebec will have less than 20 per cent - a complete reversal from the old, unelected Senate. • In total, B.C. gains more new seats than any other province in Parliament (House of Commons and Senate combined). • New Senate powers ensure federal legislation and appointments are more responsive to the interests of British Columbia and the West. For the first time, elected Senators can block appointments to key institutions such as the Bank of Canada. • The Canadian Unity Agreement cuts wasteful government duplication and overlap by giving B.C. exclusive jurisdiction over forestry, mining and tourism. We also' acquire new powers to meet our economic and job training needs. • Our national economic union is strengthened with a commitment to reduce inter- provincial trade barriers. Under the Agreement, governments are constitutionally committed to the free movement of goods, services and capital. And, a healthy economy means it's easier to finance social programs like medicare and education. A "No" vote means B.C. gets none of these benefits. A "No" vote by any province kills, the Agreement. And, there's no guarantee that we can pick up the pieces and get a new agreement. Our economic prosperity depends upon the unity and political ability of our country. So, it's for this reason that I strongly urge you to vote "Yes" on October 26. Since the Canadian Unity Agreement must be approved by every province, your vote is a personal investment in your future, the future of British Columbia and of Canada. Your vote counts. Hon.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 Mikey'll say anything Fundraising scams Editor, The Star, Sk, Due to some recent problems with fraudulent fund raising in the Fraser Valley we thought it would be helpful to inform your readers about the procedures all reputable charitable organizations should employ when canvassing door-to-door for support: -Always ask if the charity in question is registered. All charitable organizations raising 4-H is news Editor, The Star, Sk, The Langley District 4-H would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your newspaper for your willingness to print Langley 4-H news. The Langley 4-H District Banquet is quickly approaching and we would like to extend an invitation to you and a guest to attend, on Friday, October 23, at Langley Civic Centre, 20699 - 42 Ave. at 7 p.m. Many local and provincial dignitaries have been invited, as well as sponsors, 4-H members and thek families. The presentation of many district and club awards will take place to deserving members and scholarship recipients will be announced. Judy McLaren Langley District 4-H The truth is clear!I Editor, The Star, Sk, We wish to thank all those who joined in the Life Chain event Saturday, Oct. 3. The truth of abortion is clear: a child is killed and women are hurt. We stood in compassion not in judgment. Death of the preborn child is not an answer to an unplanned pregnancy. Several community groups exist to provide assistance to those in need. We believe in restructuring society rather than restructuring the pregnant woman. It does take time and effort but each woman and child • is deserving of society's support. We encourage anyone else who would like to help foster this type of support in the Langley community to contact our office, phone 534-1195- CATHY HETZLER, for the Board of Langley PrprLife^ Jjqciety funds must be registered and the canvasser should be able to provide the registration number upon request -Request the registration number and where you can call to verify the number. -Ask to see thek official identification card or button. Anyone representing a charitable organiation for fund raising purposes will have some means of identifying themselves on behalf of the organization. Always ask to see thek credentials if they do not offer or if they are not in plain view. -Most organizations generally provide thek canvassers with information - about thek organization, it's aims and objectives. Ask them for printed material on the organization so you can make a better informed decision on where to lend your support -Take the canvasser's name and call the organization in question to verify that the organization is currently involved in a door-to-door campaign and that the canvasser represents the organization. Ask them to wait while you make the call. -Always pay by a cheque made payable to the organization in question not to the individual. -Always request an official receipt with the organization's logo, name, and registered charity number. Do not accept an offer to have the receipt mailed to you at a later date. -If in doubt, ask for a self- addressed mail back envelope which you can mail in or request that the canvasser come back when you have had a chance to think about it. -Each charity that canvasses in • an area generally promotes the campaign in advance to make people aware that the charity is coming. If you have not heard any mention of the organization or the campaign in the recent past, call the organization in question before you give. The Canadian Diabetes Association will only be coining to your door between November-1 and 15 during our annual Diabetes Residential Campaign. We will not be canvassing before November. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our office for more information regarding our policy on door-to-door canvassing. DAVID DUNNE, Public Affaks Coordinator Canadian Diabetes Association ' British Columbia's esteemed premier seems to have a mouth problem. He keeps opening it. With the constitution and the upcoming referendum next week, .he seems to have been opening it more than usual. In the beginning he promised Okanagan farmers that their industry would be saved by economic assistance from an NDP government. He made this promise without first discovering if there was any money to save anyone. He also neglected to take into account all the other areas and industries that are in trouble in B.C. But he lived up to his promise, to the detriment of all other considerations. pfp Then he tried to complicate an already over-complicated constitutional question. It appears that he is backing away from his original proposal that half of our elected senators be female, but why bring it up in the first place? Did he or his over-paid assistants not take any time to think about this before he presented it? Or perhaps he did think about it. That's frightening. Suggesting the question of gender-equal representation together with the constitutional question compounds the folly. This constitution is something that is going to have a serious effect on all of us, and on our children, and on our grandchildren. The cost of creating and finalizing an agreement that we can all live with has already increased our national debt, and will cost us several more millions for the October 26 referendum. $150-million to be exact. It will also cost us millions for amendments that are sure to follow for years into the future, partly because times change, but mainly because it isnt much of a deal anyway. Our esteemed leaders have done it again. They have spent millions of our money finding out what we want, and then ignoring, what we said we want. They spent millions of our money traveling all over the country to find c*/what the people want, and then ignored what they discovered. It appears at this point, that the Canadian puWic will reject the Charlottetown referendum, and it isnt hard to understand why. *> FOUR STAR 3092 - 272nd St, Aldergrove ALDERGROVE'S BIGGEST AND BEST VIDEO SUPER STORE 856-8733 PLENTY OF PARKING BY SUPER VALU MALL • 2 DAY RENTALS MICHAEL DANNY K EATON DeVITO MICHELLE PFEIEFER BATMAN 9 RETURNS .-. i WARNER BI^BBa* -■-'•'" «TTyeuaTON,^^ IS LfflfflST0f^WALXailLO8lg.60UeH PATHWHI WCHAEL«lfVWrHctttyDAHMTaBMN ' £*^JOl.f?IERS,PETIflG» .

OCTOBER 22. 1992 'EXTRAORDINARY AGREEMENT' Clark pitches 'yes vote' at Trinity By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - Constitutional minister Joe Clark brought his pitch for an Oct. 26 Yes vote to Trinity Western University students, Friday. Clark quoted John A. Mac- Donald, George Browning and Peter Ochise, who have described the nation as "a better way" because of the "compromises" we've agreed to in building Canada over the past 125 years or more. "I profoundly hope we lift each other up," said Clark. He said it was "extraordinary" that agreement had been reached between all levels of government and native leaders, after seven failed rounds of talks over the past 25 years. The only one to mark successes was the 1981-'82 round, but that was "a nine province Canada and that exclusion (of Quebec) created so many of the problems we have today." With the economic and environment problems pressing in the countrv. he said Canadians, "should resolve the problems we can resolve... and not have to worry over the next 25 years about constitutional failure." Clark also came out swinging at Reform party leader Preston Manning for failing to meet "face to face on a CTV debate with Clyde Wells, Ovide Mercredi and Kim Campbell." Clark said he's waiting for Manning to respond to the challenge of a debate with him: "I am more than anxious to debate with Manning; people have a right to hear us face, to face on these issues." Clark said unanimity among the first ministers and leaders resulted in agreement on broad issues. "For the first time we have agreement on an amending formula." He said the aboriginal issue "puts thek inherent rights within Canada... and makes clear we've not established a sort of free- floating sovereignty. Concerns (over the native legal powers) dont stand up to scrutiny," said Clark. The changes to the House of Commons "bring us closer to the principles of representation by population than ever before," and changes to the Senate make it triple-E. "If we had a Senate like this when we (westerners) fought the National Energy Program it would not have happened... and the GST would not have been adopted in the form it was," asserted Gark. He noted that Quebec has "a legal argument" because it is the only province whose boundaries were set by the 1867 constitution and "anything that changes its boundaries gave it the veto. That led to the 25 percent floor for House of Commons representation," a compromise which Gark said didn't come from a rabid Quebec separatist but rather Saskatchewan NDP premier Roy Romanow. "He's (Romano w) been through the constitutional wars before' and knows how hard it is and how necessary to compromise, give concessions." Gark said B.C. stood to gain much from a Yes vote, particularly in the federal functions that would be transferred to all provinces equally, to eliminate duplication. "B.C. needs policies that take B.C. into account, not fk the Quebec or Ontario vision B.C. is a different sort of place and needs the means to define its own destiny," with more control over imigration, job training, mining, forestry, tourism and other departments. "This agreement allows B.C. to express differences within the context of Canada," said Gark. Joe Clark gave his constitutional pitch to the students of Trinity Western University, Friday. Heritage party elects candidate! ALDERGROVE - Fraser Valley West Riding Association chose Ed VanWoudenberg as federal candidate for the Fraser Valley West riding at the Aldergrove Community Centre on Thursday, October 15. "VanWoudenberg has made a significant impact in the 1988 election and intends to be busy and available in his riding as of today! He is convinced that many of the ills of this our nation are due to the lack of clear, principled leadership, based on God's Word," said riding president Bert VanGoolen. Knocks dealffl VanWoudenberg spoke out sharply against the proposed constitution. He mentioned that in this constitution, "society will include citizens of many lands." The present government is more interested in group rights than the rights of each and every Canadian. One indeed wonders whether this is another way to divert our attention from the real issues. It is quite possible that legislation will have to be translated in 19 native languages. VanWoudenberg stressed that our native people deserve equal treatment as Canadians in Canada. "It is time to elect men and 'women who care for all Canadians, regardless of race, colour, religion, or language." They should have learned LANGLEY - Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the 10 provincial premiers who concocted the Charlottetown 'deal' should have studied Canadian history, Reform leader Preston Manning says. "It blew the Parliament apart in 1867," says Manning. That was when the original 'fathers of confederation1 negotiated a Charlottetown constitution that allowed some provinces and territories more seats in the House of Commons than they should have been entitled to under 'representation by population'. The new version of the accord will allow the province of Quebec a minimum of 25 percent of all the seats in the House for all time to come. In 1992, the population of 'la belle province' is roughly 25 percent of the total population of Canada, but.it is expected that this percentage will decline as other regions - and in particular British Columbia - are expected to boom in the early second millennia. The concept of representation by population will then cease to exist, Manning says, never to return.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 ALDERGROVE United, entative division Soccer Parkside Gold Key Aldergrove's repres- in the Men's Premier of the Fraser Valley League, playing at on Sunday, Oct 18 came away from the game with a sparkling 5-0 win. From the opening whistle Gold Key mounted an assault on the Port Coquitlam goal and never let them into the game, dominating for the full 90 minutes. The first goal came at the 4 minute mark by Angus Sewell, the second goal, a highlight goal on some excellent build-up and give and go's involving Cam WilmOts, Rob Workmen with a clinical finish by Angus Sewell came at the 19 minute mark. The third goal scored by Rob Workmen just before the half made it 3 - 0 at the break. In the second half Aldergrove converted 2 of the many chances created, both by Rob Workmen to give him his hat trick. Late in the game he had a penalty shot saved robbing him. of a 4 goal performance. Coach John Deacon said, "Considering we were missing 3 starters, and had to revamp our starting line-tip I would say we came up with a stellar performance." He added, "Billy Franklyn up from the Div. 1 team gave us a good half, and we had hard work from everyone, especially Gordy Gark, Gino Coltellaro, Cam Wilmots and Hardy Nue." He went on to say, "The next game will be the test of how well we can do in this league this year." Next game is at Brown Road Park on 240th St on Sunday, Oct. 25 against Langley Lasers, kick- off is at 2:15. Steve Davidson and Sergio Nunes swear that they caught this piranha and trout combination last Friday morning at Deak's Pit in south Langley. The six-inch piranha and 10-inch trout are not typical compatriots but both met their Waterloo at 28 Avenue and 192 Street. Incidentally, piranhas are not the threat to humans that Hollywood would have us believe; they prefer smaller prey. -Kurt Langmann photo Tween B's land three straight ALDERGROVE - On Sunday, Oct. 18, Aldergrove Tween B Ringette Team was in Abbotsford for their 3rd Exhibition game.

This annual event is a major fund raiser that benefits the Learning Disabilities Association of B.C and is sponsored by the Frasr Valley Real Estate Board in conjunction with the Fraser Valley Dirt Riders Association. The ninth annual marathon attracted riders from all parts of B.C., Alberta, and from as far away as Australia. The trails were ridden by people from all walks of life. Two hundred and eight- seven dirt bike riding enthusiasts challenged nature on miles of muddy trails that wind through dense forest and up steep hills. Riders collected pledges prior to the marathon and rode individually or in teams of up to eight riders, for a 24 hour period. The. marathon got off to a soggy start with heavy rain most of Saturday - a true dirt biker's heaven. The rairi and mud beating upon helmets and ' the water-soaked trails only added to the challenge and excitement. Trails were clearly marked in accordance with skill levels. The Expert course was ridden by the veteran marathoners and the Intermediate and Novice courses proved to be challenge enough for those who simply love to ride dirt bikes. Sunday provided sun and warmer weather. Trophy and prize presentations were made after all riders were off the trails and all laps had been recorded. The money raised from the Dirt Bike Marathon will be used to fund a variety of educational programs and campaigns to promote awareness of Learning Disabilities. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. OCTOBER 22. 1992 TWO MORE WINS THIS WEEK Bruins keeping on top of things ALDERGROVE - Thursday, October 15 found the Aldergrove Valley Gravel Sales Atom 'A' Bruins playing host to their counterparts from Port Moody. This was the first game' of the tiering round for the Bruins. From the start these two teams were fairly evenly matched with the action going end to end and both goalies making some excellent saves. At one point the Bruins found themselves two men short but thanks to some great penalty killing, Port Moody was unable to capitalize. Scott finally got the ball rolling at 3:08 of the first, making a nice deke on the Port Moody goalie and sliding the puck into the net. Ben was to get Aldergrove's FV United victorious VICTORIA - Fraser Valley United under 16 Metro side traveled to Victoria last Saturday to take on the Lower Island Selects ' and came jig home victorious. Much of the play involved the midfield for the first half with strong defense on both sides giving the keepers little work. Then, in the 75th minute, .Lower Island scored when the Valley mistakenly thought a ball was out of play. However, just ■ five minutes later, Steven Lewis scored for the Valley on a rebound ball rung off the post by Damien Jinks. Then, with 10 minutes left in the game, Lewis scored again off a free kick taken by Valley keeper Marc Abshagen, to put the Valley side ahead 2-1. Strong defensive work from Jonathan Bryant helped keep the Island from adding to their score. Next week, Fraser Valley will be at home to Westminster Metro.

Twenty-seven seconds later Paul attempts a wraparound, is unsuccessful, but Marc tucks the rebound home. With only 17 seconds left in the first, Port Moody gets on the scoreboard skipping one past Bruins netminder Josh Letkeman Port Moody starts the scoring at 7:17 of the second to bring the score within one. With less than a minute left in the period Paul and Ben combine for Aldergrove's fourth goal. The two third period goals were scored \6 seconds apart, one by each team. The first was at 11:27 when Mike R takes the puck into the Port Moody zone, pushes past two defenders and then slides the puck over to Mike H. who in turn shoots the puck into \ the net. Port Moody gets their final goal at 11:11 and that is how the game ended with the Bruins winning 5-3. On Sunday, October 18 the Bruins were up early to play an exhibition game against a team from Seattle. Right from the opening face- off it was clear that the Aldergrove boys were the stronger team and it didn't take' long for the first puck to go in the net as Scott scored at 12:32, assists to Josh M. and Dustin. 18 seconds later Paul gets his first of the morning. At 8:38 Marc rushes into the Seattle zone and tucks the puck into the net. Fourty seconds later Mike R. turns on the red light once again after a nice centering pass from Mike H. behind the Seattle net At 4:40 Paul gets his second goal, knocking in his own rebound. The second period was to-see more of the same action, with Aldergrove totally dominating the Seattle squad. Scott starts the scoring once again- when he and defenceman Josh L. break into the Seattle zone. Two minutes later Josh L. gets his name on the scoresheet once more when he and Marc assist on Ben's goal. Marc gets his second goal of the morning at 11:49, assists to Ben and Tyler. At 5:06 Paul completes his hat trick, assists to Ben and Marc. * Due to time constraints, the third period was only five minutes long, but held lots of action. Josh M. starts the scoring at 3:15 banging home a pass from Scott. At 2:40 Josh M. does it again, converting Steven's slap shot from the point into a goal. With two and a half minutes left in the game Seattle pulls their goalie in an attempt to get a goal. Unfortunately for them the Bruins weren't about to let that happen and swarmed the Seattle net. In a desperate attempt to stop another goal one of the Seattle defenders smothers the puck resulting in a penalty shot for Aldergrove. Matt is the one to take the shot and with a nice flick of the wrist puts the puck into the net. Final score Aldergrove 13, Seattle 0. A shut-out for goaltender Davis.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 The whole world's shaking and Canada is, too § By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - While reports of destruction and devastation from hurricanes, earthquakes, war and floods come in from all over the world, here in Canada, we are sitting on our Constitution wondering whether we should let Canada break up or whether to hold it together and get on with the job. Very soon we will know the results of the referendum. Great doing at Otter Co-op, Saturday a celebration of seventy years in business. Dignataries spoke telling of the eady days when stumping powder was one of the big commodities sold there, now everything else is sold there but not stumping powder. Among the entertainers was a young group, ages I would think from nine to twelve, the old time fiddlers. These young people will become the future Pepper Shakers and Happy Gang Band. It was a pleasure to watch their young instructor. Seniors were cutting the mustard, out in the parking lot close to the stage dancing the Seven Step, polkas, etc. to Bill Minty's band. The ukulele band from Langley entertained in the afternoon. They are great entertainers, some of you will remember them being at the O.AP. hall. Carpet bowling wasn't as well attended as sometimes, but we had a good time. The advanced poll was to have been held in the O.A.P. hall, thus cancelling out carpet bowling this Thursday, but that has been changed for some unknown reason so carpet bowling will be held as usual Fifty-two were at the Wednesday dance.. Spot dance went to Mary Ewanchew and Vic Bartholomew. The 50-50 went to Mike Pitts and Vic Bartholomew. Several visitors were welcomed, Rhoda Raymond from Devon England, Joe Moore of Coquitlam and Bill Chassey. On Saturday there 'were somewhere between sixty-five and- seventy guests. John Hassler and Bill Kazlowski won door prizes. 50-50 went to Chuck Bright and Lorraine Verboom. The two Spot dances were won by Selina Davies and Bill Kazlowski and Georgina Onstine and Barney Goble. Con Church was welcomed.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 11 AT THE MOVIES ' §f Mr.Crystal not crystal clear Rod Conway of Abbotsford and Pat Schmunk of Mission rehearse for the U.C.F.V. production of The Hostage. -Rick Mawson, photo This hostage has it all CHILLIWACK - The Hostage, by colourful Irish Playwright Brendan Behan, is the opening production of the University College of the Fraser Valley Theatre Department's 1992-93 season of theatre. This broad, witty satire has it all: bursting with life The Hostage is a magnificent entertainment filled with song, dance, comedy and heart! Set in Dublin, Ireland, in I960, The Hostage tells the story of Leslie, a young British Soldier, who has been taken prisoner by the I.R.A. in retaliation for the threatened execution of a young Irish patriot by the British authorities. Leslie's prison is a decaying boarding house dubbed "The Hole" by its motley inhabitants. The action of The Hostage is played out as "The Hole's" rag-tag residents sing, dance, fight and woo each other and Leslie slowly realizes that his days may be numbered. With a large cast comprised of students and community performers, this production promises to provide an exhilarating and entertaining start to the 1992- 93 season. Co-directors Ian Fenwick and Lynne Wells have cast the following performers in The Hostage. Pat, "The Hole's" seedy proprietor, is played by Abbotsford performer Rod Conway, who made his debut for- the department as Marius in last season's production The Road to Mecca. The role of Pat's consort Meg is taken by Pat Schmunk, a second year theatre student, who appeared as Gabrielle in the department's hit production of Les Belles Soeurs. Jan Elsted, another second year theatre student, is Miss Gilchrist, an evangelistic social worker. Her lover, a decaying civil servant named Mulleady, is played by David Evans. First year theatre students Jeanette Plant and Jason Beauchene take the respective roles of Teresa, an Irish Country girl and Leslie, the unfortunate British soldier. Tim Morris, a second year theatre student last seen' as Conrade in Much Ado about Nothing, takes on the challenging role of Rio Rita. The cast of The Hostage also features: Gai Brown as Ropeen, John Jenkins as Monsewer; Eric Glyn- Jones as the I.R.A. officer; Larry Hamm as the Russian soldier; Derek Payne as a volunteer; Lori Rippin as Colette and Edward Martinson as Princess Grace. Joanne Hankey, the Musical Director for The Hostage, also takes on the role of Kate. Choreographer for this production is Debbie Schemen- auer who created the outstanding dance sequences for Much Ado About Nothing. Set Design is by Astrid Beugeling, with costume design by Jody- Cameron and lighting design by Jim Wenting. Costume construction will be supervised by Yvonne Krehbiel. The Hostage opens Friday, November 6, at 8 p.m. In The Studio Theatre on the Chilliwack campus, with special two for one preview performances November 4 and 5 and continues November 7, 11 to 14 and 18 to 21 with a matinee performance Friday, November 13, at 12:30 p.m. Tickets for The Hostage are now on sale at the box office on the Chilliwack campus.

It's true. Another downbeat, emotion- charged, depressing show. Only this time there was a twist, this movie was a comedy, or so it had me psyched into believing it was to be. And I did. laugh, heck, Mr. Saturday Night had me- howling; the point is it also threw me the other direction as well. Billy Crystal, a dear lad, he caught our attention in "Soap" and before we could think, Billy became family and was soon hosting the Academy Awards. And then, what was there left to do? Well, he took up producing, directing and writing and Mr. Crystal became "Mr. Saturday Night." Hysterical, that was the word I was expecting to use to describe this show and yes, it is fitting., Hats off to Billy and bunch, the writing was incredible but it went well beyond humor...it was powerful in the dramatic sense. I was so shaken by the portrayal of the two brothers' lives. Buddy Young Jr. (Crystal) and Stan (David Paymer), two brothers striving for but never reaching their dreams. Their lives edged towards becoming miserably pathetic, not because their lives were actually all that bad, but more because of how they saw their own world, how they let themselves become. Buddy was the nasty, aggressive one and Stan was the weak, meek one. They depended on each other, they needed each other and together they never became a great success. It was this from which a thin coating of resentment grew. And yet, there was always the awareness that they did need each other and that perhaps without the other they wouldn't have gotten as far as they did. What is the true definition of a successful life? Have we failed if we never fulfill our fragile dreams? Why are some people satisfied with so little and why can others never be happy? I left the theatre having had several great laughs (You're not a comedian, your're a terrorist!") but also with the nagging suspicion that some boat of knowledge had sailed without me. This film hinted at some major philosophical things, which is a good thing, but a factor that also made it heavy and may tend to overload the brain. Now, if you're just looking for a laugh, I'd check out Peter Sellers in "The Party"... CORNER OF KINO 1 McCAUUM ROS. ABBOTSFORD 24 HR. INFO.

ABBOTSFORD - According to the Wall Street Journal, the children's publishing industry is booming with sales of more than $l-billion a year, but that's only half the story. With some editors weeding through as many as 15,000 unsolicited manuscripts a year, the wodd of children's books is a tough market to crack. John Keller, an editor at Litde Browne & Co., says most people who want to write for children "either have a preachy tone or they get too cute for the subject matter." So what are children's book editors looking for? How do you create a publishable storybook or novel and where can you sell it' These topics will be covered in a one-day workshop entitled Writing Children's Novels scheduled for Saturday, October 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the University College of the Fraser Valley's Abbotsford Campus. Through a series of creative writing exercises, demonstrations and discussion, students will learn how to outline a plot, create memorable characters, write believable dialogue, find an agent and prepare their manuscripts for sale. Instructor Sandy Watson spent 20 years writing for radio, Santa's arts LANGLEY - BC Artists and Craftspeople invite you to "Santa's Shop", Sunday, November 15, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Murrayville Hall, 2l6th Street and 48th Avenue.

' For information call 530-7304 or voice box 1-978-6262. newspapers, television, magazines and her own public relations firm before she tried writing for children. "My most successful projects were always laced with humour," says Watson. "I loved reading fast-paced, funny books to my own kids, so I set out to write an adventure story that would make children laugh out loud. "I am embarrassed to admit that I made the same mistakes every other beginner makes, and collected 19 rejection letters in a row. Finally, after rewriting that first manuscript 28 times over a period of 10 years, I sold it to Orca Books, Canadian Publisher of the Year." After the success of Fiona and the Flying Unicorns, Orca released Watson's second juvenile novel, Fiona and the Prince of Wheels, a mystery about a boy in a wheelchair. Watson is currendy working on a non-fiction book about children who live at a lighthouse. "Contrary to popular belief, writing for children is not easy," says Watson, "but learning the tricks of the trade will help propel unpublished writers towards their first sale." Registration for Writing Children's Novels is being accepted now at all UCFV centres.. The course fee of $55 includes handouts featuring editorial guidelines and the latest market trends along with a comprehensive list of Canadian and American publishers. Students are encouraged to bring works-in-progress.

Sx)taking of (Books A Book Review by Ken Lang Stepping into a World of Terror The Covenant by Pauline Gedge Viking, 269 pages, $26.99 It all begins quite innocently. The young Jessica Mortimer, prematurely widowed, can't get her husband out of her mind, so her mother arranges a return to the English village of her youth for a summer's working holiday. Jessica will be staying with Sir Matthew Rensby and his family at Rensby Hall, organizing research notes on the family's lengthy past. Jessica's stay, far from being restful or a time of forgetting, recalls painful memories of a childhood tragedy. Her sister Jane was kidnapped as a child, never to be seen again. Eventually the crime was assigned to the "unsolved" files and the Mortimers moved to Western Canada to try to recover. Now, when Jessica returns to Rensby Hall, reminders of her sister's disappearance are everywhere, revived by the people she meets and the places she visits. Soon enough there are hints that this is going to be a tale of Gothic terror, complete with voices and visions from the dead, and accompanied by sudden, cold drafts in damp, dark cellars. As the story progresses, the sense of the sinister creeps slowly and steadily into the foreground, and finally engulfs the action. The novel is called The Covenant, and it's the latest creation of Alberta novelist Pauline Gedge, best known for historical fiction set in Ancient Egypt, like her recent bestseller Scroll ofSaqqara. Though The Covenant branches into unfamiliar territory, the new limbs are growths from a firmly rooted trunk—the preoccupation of Gedge with the past. Sir Matthew is an archaeologist by trade, and a family historian by inclination, researching his an cestry back to the time of William the Conqueror in 1066. An old pagan ritual also finds its way into the story in the form of an ominously '^secret" initiation rite that Peter Rensby, Sir Matthew's heir, will have to perform in order to. gain his inheritance. A Perverse Legacy Beneath the veneer of Rensby respectability lurks the perverse legacy of a demon. Sir Matthew's ancestor, Sir Julian, catching his wife in the act of adultery, bricked her into a room in the cellar, leaving her to die. That was 500 years ago, but the current generation is still wrestling with the devil he summoned to help him. Today, of course, no one believes in demons. Yet news reports keep reminding us of satanic cults that torture and kill. Given their existence in Canadian society, it's not a great leap of the imagination to see a link between fact and fiction, between the devils conjured up by members of demonic sects and the demon of The Covenant. A sense of the sinister creeps slowly and steadily into the foreground. In 1947 Earle Bimey concluded a poem, "Can. Lit.," with the line, "It's only by our lack of ghosts we're haunted." Thirty years later Northrop Frye adapted the line for the title of an essay on Canadian poetry, "Haunted by Lack of Ghosts." Yet if spirits of one kind or another keep appearing at their current rate, Canadian fiction may become an absolute spook house. Certainly, a lot of haunting has gone on in the last year. But unlike Murther and Walking Spirits by Robertson Davies or The Afterlife of George Cartwright by John Stef- fler, The Covenant sets out to create an atmosphere of real horror. And, yes, I think it succeeds. TWU choirs join VSO in song LANGLEY - Trinity Western University's Concert and Chamber choirs were asked for a return engagement to sing with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Oct. 17 and 19. The choirs sang with the VSO last year for Berlioz' Childhood of Christ under conductor Andrew Litton. This year they sang Beethoven's Choral Fantasia as pan of an evening of Beethoven's symphonic works. The conceit will be broadcast on CBC national radio at a later date. The university's Director of Choral Activities, Wes Janzen, said the 114 students involved "love the challenge, and there is so much to be learned from singing fine music with such a superb symphony orchestra." 34252.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 13 Springsteen still has his charms BY KURT LANGMANN Bruce Springsteen and his new band gave their very best for better than three hours last Thursday night at the Coliseum. From his solo opening tribute to his Red Headed Woman (wife Patty Scialfa) to the closing strains of My Beautiful Reward, it was a show that proved the Boss still has the ability to move and affect his audience, even if the new albums aren't selling the mega-millions that Born In The USA did. The conceit's 28 songs concentrated on the two new albums, Lucky Town and Human Touch, with a handful from the old E-Street Band days thrown into the mix. With a basic band and a very large vocal group backing him, the old songs fared none the worse, and Thunder Road and Born To Run did bring the crowd to their feet in the half- hour-plus encore. The new songs also were just as good in conceit as the recorded versions, if not better in several cases. 57 Channels (And Nothing On), along with Roll Of The Dice and Man's Job were prime rock and roll, yet his ballads like Should I Fall Behind and Brilliant Disguise allowed the bombast to subside and the lyrics to shine. Springsteen and band were playful and fun to watch, and the music was wonderful. Kathy Mattea's new Lonesome Standard Time album (Mercury Records) continues in her successful ballad and top-40 country style, and while it offers some very worthy new songs, it just doesn't have the overall impact that the earlier albums bad. To my ears it sounds rather contrived, with songs meant to play to radio programmers rather' than her audience. What happened to the bluegrass-based, simple acoustic songs that let her voice soar? She does a Nancy Griffith song, but I can't believe how patronizing and false the song's lyrics are. Her big hit, Where've You Been was a wonderful tune, but is that a reason to put out a bunch of variations on the same theme and melody? Buy her Greatest Hits album instead and give the lady a much-needed holiday. Tanya Tucker fares much better and stronger on her new I Can't Run From Yourself (Liberty Records), and she should be a blast in conceit in Cloverdale come December. The once-timid little giri has matured into a raucous and blunt woman, and her vocal style really cuts to the quick. These are songs that she can get her teeth into and her musical backing, . including singer Delbert McOinton, is superlative. Tucker is consistent throughout the ten tunes here, while getting into a variety of grooves and styles. Throw it on your deck and leave it there for a while. Eric Clapton's new acoustic album, Unplugged (Reprise Records) is quite a sedate session for the once-wild electric guitar pioneer. While it's mostly traditional blues, the tone follows the style of his recent meditative hit, Tears In Heaven, a rather poignant song about the loss of his infant son The acoustic version of Layla slows the tempo down considerably but it's still wild to my ears. However, you can hear Clapton and band smiling wide when they do Before You Accuse Me, San Francisco Bay Blues and Rollin' And Tumblin'. This may be a sidetrip for Clapton, but it's worth taking in. Los Lobos really went off into the wild blue yonder with the variety of songs on- their new Kiko (Slash-Warner Records), and while it probably won't be heard much on the radio (unlike the overkill of their version of La Bamba), there's songs here that will stand the test of time for their fans. The Chicano roots are still alive and well, especially in the lyrics, but the music travels through so many styles it bears some resemblance to old Band albums. I don't believe I've ever heard a better band of musicians in concert, and they always seem to capture that energy and creativeness on their recordings, too. The Fraser Valley's finest, Tumbleweed, is also B.C.'s finest bluegrass music band. They'll prove it to the masses at the Canadian Diabetes Association fundraiser, this Saturday Oct. 24 at the Abbey Arts Centre. Tumbleweed were recently awarded the B.C. Country Music Association award for top bluegrass band, and were performers in a recent Hollywood movie. Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. concerts are available at Ticketmaster or the CDA offices for $10 adult, $8 student or senior. The arts centre is at 2329 Crescent Way, Abbotsford. David Longworth is a local rancher and cowboy poet, who along with Corky Williams will present readings of their works, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 7 p.m. at Langley Library.

MURRAYVILLE - Council chambers were filled to overflowing when 'Dave' Surdev Singh Jatana addressed the seven elected officials Monday night. Jatana made a plea to council "in the name of Cosmos which prevails through everybody and the Holy God which (sic) holds the world" to grant rezoning of a six-acre parcel of land at 370 - 264 Street in south Aldergrove. The Sikh missionary society plans to build a school and a temple on the property.

Street medians seen as unfair by residents MURRAYVILLE - Four delegates appealing to council not to restrict traffic flow to a Walnut Grove mall by installing' medians on the street outside told the elected officials that they were "trying to take away" their livelihood. The median would prevent westbound motorists from turning left unto the parking lot of the mall at 8790 - 204 Street. "It is totally unfair," said two of the speakers. Questioned about the need for the barrier in the center of the road, township administrator Jim Godfrey said it had to be done for safety reasons. A survey had shown that 14,500 cars drove that stretch of 204 Street each and every day, he said. Councilors referred the matter back to staff for a final review.

He is not manied and so my sister and I have always tried to include him in family dinners and such Lately he has become a real mess; when he is invited over and there are other people there who aren't family he acts like a complete ill- mannered idiot. He drinks too much, eats too much and takes over the conversation with a loud annoying voice. Not only that, he burps during and after the meal and generally makes a total pig of himself. Both of my children, who are very impressionalbe, laugh and giggle at Joe's antics and have been taken to trying to burp after their meals. We are losing our friends because of Joe's manners and abrasive attitude. Have you heard of someone changing so completely in such a short time - going from a sweet guy to a babbling fool? I have had enough of him. Signed: Judy Dear Judy, It's time you had a heart-to- heart with Joe. Tell him he is no longer welcome at your home if he continues with his gross manners. This may smarten him up and if it doesn't, suggest he see his doctor. It is hard to believe that a sweet guy, as you said, would change so suddenly and become a nuisance. There may be a medical problem here. Encourage him to do something about it. Dear Readers,. Now that Halloween is approaching we are hearing those fire crackers once again It is up to all you parents to keep track of your children and also to find out where they are getting these fire crackers. It is against the law for one thing and for another your child may be the one this year with a hand blown off because of them. And once again this year 1 cannot stress enough the importance of keeping an eye on your pets. Every Halloween there seems to be a great spate of pets running off or going missing - never to be seen again. Fire crackers do not mix well with children and animals. Take care and have a safe Halloween. Dear Annabelle, What kind of brute am I? Am I destined to destroy both love and friendship? What of Juno? Have I not the courage or the loyalty to hold fast to my friends? Or the courage to speak up? Perhaps not. I had, after all, deserted my home. Thank vou, (Signed) Titus Groan, Gonnenghast Castle.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 Lada Introduces sensational convertible The irresistible little Samara Convertible was designed specifically for LadaCanada and is modified to Canadian specifications in Czechoslovakia. It is based on the 3-door, 1.5L Samara which has already shown itself to be an energetic small car that owners really enjoy driving. The sporty Convertible has been styled to take advantage of the Samara's straightforward European looks giving it a distinctive, handsome appearance. But perhaps the most exciting aspect of this new vehicle, will be its price. The Samara Convertible is slated to cost less than $12,000! That price will include the complete Lada Canada new car coverage including a three-year comprehensive limited warranty and three-year LadaCare roadside service. There is no comparable vehicle on the market that even comes close to offering this level of power, distinctive looks and warranty support. The only other convertible in this price range, the Geo Metro, only has a 3-cylinder, 1.0L engine.) Standard equipment on the Samara convertible is extensive including fully synchronized 5- speed transmission, Canadian- made, steel belted all-season radial tires. The Samara convertible will be available from Lada dealers, in limited numbers beginning January, 1993.

Claims statistics to the end of September indicate a small improvement over the same period in 1991. Figures show that motorists have reported 617,097 claims over the first nine months of the year, 30,419 fewer than last year. President Robyn Allan says that good weather in the Lower Mainland eariy this year helped keep down the number j of collision and property damage claims. Windshield claims are down in all areas of the province. Crime-related comprehensive claims are up over last year, but the rate of increase is lower than over the past three years. There have been over 1,100 more claims for No-Fault Accident Benefits, which tend to be more expensive to settle than material damage claims. However, there have been 53 fewer injury claims from victims of accidents caused by ICBC-' insured motorists. Allan says ICBC's new claims programs announced in August, may have already yielded some positive results. "The number of injury claims for every 100 property damage claims reported appears to have leveled off after hitting an all time high in February (28 per 100). The corporation's decision not to pay whiplash claims- from collisions involving minimal or no vehicle damage has resulted in hundreds- of people abandoning the thought of making injury claims. There also appears to be an eariy indication of improvement in average costs for injury claims. The Quality Assurance estimating program has cut the number of vehicle re inspections almost in half.

(604) 852-9260 rlliia.iiiitri The new programs may have saved as much as $5-miUion in their first month and a half of operation. Allan says that's the equivalent of having one accident-free day across the province. While encouraged by the improvement, Allan calls it "extremely fragile.'' She says ICBC will continue to trim operating costs and control the cost of claims settlements to keep rates as low as possible, but points out that the corporation will need help from motorists. "We are now getting into one of the most hazardous times of the year for driving in B.C. Weather and road conditions can change very quickly, and motorists will need to adjust their driving to suit those conditions if this small improvement is going to turn into a positive trend," Allan says. She also notes that it's too soon to say how the September figures might affect Autoplan rates for 1993. "Rates for 1993 will depend on the funds we will need to cover the number and cost of next year's claims, and the statistics we've seen to the end of September are still not a strong enough indication that a downward trend is starting. We also cannot afford to run a deficit for the third year in a row...in fact, we need to start rebuilding our reserves in order to bring stability back to rates," Allan says. BCAA comes through for senior citizens VANCOUVER - BCAA has good news for seniors who travel outside the province.

This is now the finest Camry ever crafted and also the first Toyota specifically designed to reflect North American preferences in size, power and styling. This new Camry is the longest and widest ever by several significant inches. Two newly designed engines display Toyota's industry leading multi-valve technology. Both the 16 valve, 130 hp. 4- cylinder and the masterful 24 valve, 185 hp. V6 provide driving excitement without intruding on the remarkable silence of the passenger compartment. Camry combines that.unmistakable look and feel of quality with the durability and craftsmanship that have made Toyota an automotive legend. The new Camry's interior space is open, generous, and comfortable. This interior is specifically designed for the comfort of North Americans, adding more than 8 cubic feet of interior space. Every measurement inside the fully carpeted cabin ■ has been enlarged to provide the head, leg and shoulder room that suits the physical dimensions of five adults. The front bucket seats and folding 60/40 split rear seat are .now as sumptuous as your favourite chair. Road noise and vibration have been isolated by "floating" the passenger cabin on rubber-mounted front and rear subframes. Wherever you sit inside the new Camry, you are at the very heart of automotive civilization. Careful attention to detail has produced a Camry cockpit whose essence is simplicity and tastefulness. To reduce reaction time, the instrument panel is tachometer require minimal recognition time. A tilt mechanism lets you adjust the angle of Camry's thick, tectured grip steering wheel, which is equipped with a standard driver's-side air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).

OCTOBER 22. 1992 Revitalization committee at work on new local community office ALDERGROVE - The Revitalization Committee here "has taken the ball and got it rolling," says Chamber of Commerce president, Gerald Long. While the municipal council has given their unanimous approval of a grant to carry the local chamber office through to the end of 1992, the revitalization committee has been working hard to involve every group in the community in a proposal to preserve the office established by the chamber. This office has been hit by cuts to provincial government grants, and recently received an emergency Langley township grant of up to $7,500 to keep going till the end of the year. The chamber executive had elected to close the office at the Transportation the issue here LANGLEY - Increasing population in the Fraser Valley! What are the issues and choices for moving people from place to place? .Hear speakers from the GVRD Transport 20-21 Project and valley municipalities, Saturday, October 24. No host breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m. Program runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon, at Langley ABC Restaurant, 5978 Glover Road at the No. 10 Bypass. The meeting is hosted by the South Fraser Group. For further information call 888-0647 end of October if no alternatives were found to help continue, operations. The approach of widening the office mandate to bring in other community organizations has been promising, according to Long. "Excellent things should come to pass," he told the Oct. 14 chamber meeting. "The common goal is improvement of, and ' services to, the community," said Long. The office would become a community enhancement office, and "the chamber board would be altered for full representation from throughout the various groups involved." He said the office, already "capably staffed and equipped with all furnishings" could- also serve as a base for RCMP duty officers and an outlet for municipal licences. "There's a lot of win-win for all," suggested Long.. A "solid proposal" was promised to be ready for the November 4 chamber meeting, which would then be taken to municipal council for consideration. At the Oct. 14 chamber meeting, treasurer Ida Fallowfield said the cunent chamber account stands at $1,800, and a shortfall of $6,000 was expected by the end of December. This amount will be covered by the emergency grant. The chamber office will host an open house for their Business Information Centre, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as part of the provincial Small Business Week celebration. Christmas lights ready for installation mid-November ALDERGROVE - Christmas lights should be up and lit by mid-November. The Chamber of Commerce and Kinsmen are looking after maintenance of the fixtures, to be installed on many of the poles in the town Chamber president Gerald Long said the chamber has raised over $32,000 for the lights, but are still hoping to find another $5,000 so they can receive the $18,600 Go BC grant promised to the community years ago. The $55,000 would complete lighting of the downtown core. The application for a casino licence has been rejected because the gaming commission doesnt see the lights as a charitable cause. Long said other avenues for fundraising are being considered, so that more lights can be purchased for the community.

Campen observed that the first public meeting last month in Aldergrove had been "very successful with a large attendance." The meeting had focussed on the problems of youths hanging:', out in the town, which Campen added, may well be a "parent problem." For information on the Oct. 28 meeting, call the township hall.

OCTOBER 22. 1992 19 by LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK What do you believe to be the major reasons for such an increase in violence over the years? Annette Wristen: Family values; working mothers that aren't there to pay attention to their kids, the attention that they really need. It has to do with how parents arrange the time that they do have with their children; quality time. Johanna Schweigert: People are staying away from God. People, young people, don't believe in God anymore, that's what I think; it's as simple as that. Pannu Sarjid: Family problems, more divorces, maybe inflation, no work. Prices of everything are going up, more people are homeless. Augustin Salapa: There's a lot of youths and they've got nothing to do; that's why they get into trouble. If there was more work for them they would be able to stay out of trouble; they'd have something to do besides doing nothing.

The Canadian Red Cross Society mm The beauty of his native British Columbia is reflected in mouth painter Cody Tresierra's best landscapes. Paralyzed from the neck down as a result of an accident, Cody has found a new sense of purpose, dignity and independence through his art. He joined the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists in 1986. When mouth and foot meet VANCOUVER - "I am proud that we can take care of our lives, our work, and of our own organization", states mouth- painting artist Myron Angus upon his return from a convention of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists. The organization, founded in 1956, is a cooperative consisting meanwhile of more than 300 artists. Birth defects, accidents or illness deprived them of the use of their hands. Until they founded the association, they were left completely to themselves, and their disability made it especially difficult for them to earn their living. They create art by mouth or foot. Their most beautiful paintings are reproduced on Christmas cards and art calendars. Their organization is democratically organized with the handicapped artists themselves making the decisions: through a management board, the president, and a convention of delegates. Mouth painting artist Cody Tresierra from Vancouver, who was left paralyzed from the neck down through a motor vehicle accident, joined the association in 1986. "I felt pretty devastated when I was first told that I would not get the use of my limbs back", says Cody. Since he became part of the association, his life has changed completely. He found hope and a new meaning in his life. Although thankful to all those who have helped down the road of life, the artists are proud to be working and realizing their goals without depending on public charity. They want to participate not only in life, but also in society and-their Christmas cards transmit this admirable spirit. Without their hands, the most important of human tools, and in the real Olympic Spirit, these courageous handicapped people earn our attention. Thanks to all Aldergrove Blood Donors.

"The fact is, everyone pays for lung disease in one way or another - through personal suffering or higher health care costs or losses to the economy as wage-earners become too ill to work." "Changing that is a big job, and your Lung Association depends entirely on help from individual British Columbians," said Gervan. Christmas Seal - gifts support advanced research conducted in B.C, health education stressing patient independence and information programs on air quality issues. The Christmas Seal campaign runs through the end of January, and every household in the province receives a package of seals and a reply card for donations.

For more information about the two-day public session call 432-6339 or fax 432-6399- THE NEW CONSTITUTIONAL AGREEMENT THE II5HUGHTS Over the past two years, federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders have consulted with thousands of Canadians and concerned groups from coast to coast. These consultations included Royal Commissions, participatory conferences, parliamentary hearings, and hearings in the provinces and territories held by provincial and territorial legislatures. Federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders have agreed unanimously on August 28, 1992 in Charlottetown on a package of constitutional proposals that recognizes the equality of Canadians and represents all of our interests. The agreement is now before Canadians. The agreement proposes that the new Constitution would contain a statement of key economic and social objectives j shared by all of the governments in the federation. The objectives include comprehensive, universal, portable, accessible and publicly administered health care, adequate social services and benefits, high quality primary and secondary education and reasonable access to post-secondary education, collective bargaining rights and a commitment to protecting the environment. The economic policy objectives to be entrenched would be aimed at strengthening the Canadian economic union; the free movement of persons, goods, services, and capital; ensuring full employment and a reasonable standard of living for all Canadians; ensuring sustainable and equitable development. Exclusive provincial jurisdiction would be recognized in the areas of forestry, mining, tourism, housing, recreation, municipal affairs, cultural matters within the province, and labour market development and training. In addition, to ensure the two levels of government work in harmony, the government of Canada commits to negotiating agreements with the provinces in areas such as immigration, regional development and telecommunications. Federal-provincial agreements on any subject could be protected by the Constitution from unilateral change. The new Canadian Constitution would recognize the distinct nature of Quebec, based on its French language, unique culture and civil law tradition. Parliamentary Reform Avoiding Overlap and Duplication Distinct Society In the reformed Parliament, the Senate would reflect the equality of the provinces while the House of Commons would be based more on the principle of representation by population. As well, various provinces would be assured a minimum amount of seats in the House of Commons. The proposed Senate would be made up of six elected senators from each province and one from each territory. Additional seats would provide representation for Aboriginal peoples. The reformed Senate's powers should significantly increase the role of the elected Senators in the policy process. The proposals recognize that Aboriginal peoples have an inherent right to self-government and that the Constitution should enable them to develop-$elf-government arrangements and to take their place in the Canadian federation. The proposals recognize Aboriginal governments as one of the three constitutionally recognized orders of government in Canada. In addition, the proposals provide for a negotiation process between Aboriginal leaders and provincial and federal governments to put this right into effect. The recognition of the inherent right would not create any new rights to land, nor dilute existing treaty rights. Now that Canada's federal, provincial, territorial and Aboriginal leaders have reached a consensus, it is the right of all Canadians to understand the new proposals.

Not needed, says department MURRAYVILLE - The provincial highways ministry has turned down a request for a pedestrian crosswalk signal at 273 Street and Fraser Highway. Ken Pruden, of the Jackman Manor, has long been campaigning for a signal at this intersection and had once more sent a letter to Victoria stating the need for this safety measure. Hold-up on gravel pit nixed MURRAYVILLE - A motion to defer approval of a new gravel pit in south Aldergrove until such time as a Langley soil removal bylaw gets provincial assent, was defeated in council here Monday night. Councilors Aubrey Searle and Muriel Arnason supported the move, but three other council members turned it down. The new gravel pit has already been approved by residents in the community, councilors argue, in that there was no opposition voiced to the project at a public hearing in south Aldergrove. Besides, Langley still does need gravel, they Say.' However, ministry officials have again turned it down. "There were 13 vehicular accidents over the past three years at the intersection," says ministry spokesman S.S.Maynes, "but there were no pedestrian accidents." But the ministry has agreed to more 'no parking' near the crossing, and has also asked the RCMP to "provide additional enforcement of these no parking zones. A 'X' will be painted on the roadway in advance of the crosswalk from each direction. Lease okayed MURRAYVILLE - A new lease agreement with a private businessman was approved this week in Langley district council. Two council members, Muriel Arnason and Aubrey Searle again argued against the deal. John Manolopoulus of Langley will be granted a 10-year lease at the Langley municipal airport. A hangar and office buildings are located on the lot. Arnason and acting mayor Searle tried to have the lease agreement referred back to staff for one more time. Fancy that, dog owners!

Lady Spartans on fire LANGLEY - The October 17th Alumni Weekend at Trinity Western University turned out to be a huge success both on and off the court. The weekend featured games amongst the present Spartan teams and members from the teams of years gone by. Saturday morning volleyball was followed by an afternoon BBQ that helped warm everyone up for the evening's basketball games. When the 1992 women's basketball team hit the floor it was like a wildfire out of control. The Lady Spartans, led by veterans Bev Kauffeldt (nee Mayes), Marcy Wolcott and freshman Susan Hadath lit up the scoreboard like there was no tomorrow. The trio combined for eight three pointers. The Spartan defence forced numerous turnovers that led to lay-ups enroute to a school record 6l half time points. The torrent continued in the second half with every Spartan contributing on the score sheet The final score was 102 - 45. Fkst year coach Craig Kennedy was pleased with the offensive output but says that they still have a long, long way to go. Celebration.

Parade to the post during the week will be 6:50, weekends and holidays 1:05- The 5 day a week schedule continues until Monday November 9th, after which Mondays are dropped and the Surrey plant will operate on a four day race week. Hoofbeats: Stakes action will get underway with the resumption of the regular dates. Older pacers will square off this Saturday as the eliminations for the B.C. Pacing Classic are held. Although no standout has been nominated, the field is high in quality as 11 of the nominees have paced a mile in 1:53 or better in their careers. The 1992 renewal of the Pacing Classic could shape up as one of the most competative in years. Also getting ready to start is the Stallion and Sire Stake Series for B.C. bred horses. With very little rain in the first 16 days of the meet, the track surface was in excellent condition. Many of the one mile races went in under two minutes, but the big story was the mare Bea Scooter shattering the track record for the other distance raced at Cloverdale of a mile and a sixteenth. Setting all of the fractions herself, Bea Scooter paced the 1 1/16 miles in a blistering 2:04.1 shattering the old mark by almost three seconds. This was the first time Bea Scooter had raced at this distance and showed the extra 1/16 of a mile was not overtaxing on her. Bea Scooter is no stranger to records as she held the record for the fastest mile paced in B.C. by a mare, until she lost a three horse picture finish this past summer at Sandown on Vancouver Island. This Sunday October 25th is Bonus Pack Day. All paid admissions will receive coupons worth over $19- for free parking, programs, Racing Gold and snack food items to be used throughout the 92-93 Cloverdale season. Super Slide & Spin futurity a success LANGLEY - The first annual Pacific Reining Horse Association Super Slide and Spin held October 15 and 16 at Thunderbkd Equestrian Centre was a tremendous success. The sport of reining has evolved from a ranch cowboy competition at the turn of the century into a precise equine sport. To rein a horse is to control his every move. The horse is willingly guided through a set pattern including large fast ckcles, small slow ckcles, flying lead changes, fascinating spins and breathtaking sliding stops. Points are awarded for smoothness, finesse, attitude, quickness and authority of performing these maneuvers. Spectators packed the stands Saturday night to watch 37 professionals and amateurs from all over B.C., Alberta, and Washington state compete for a share of the $7,500 in prize money, trophy silver buckles and bronzes. Champions were named in five categories: Fraser Cheam Realty Rookie: Rose Locke of Nanaimo, riding Majors Crown Royal; Non- Pro: Dave Hill of Surrey, riding Sail King Cody; Open: Trainer Steve Metcalf of Snohomish, Washington riding Loris Smo- kum; BASF/Zeroloc 3 yr. Old Futurity: Herbie Chex ridden by Steve Metcalf; Bank of Montreal/Strand Reining Horses 4 yr. Old Futurity: Pretty Woman By Cody owned by Steve Lerigny of ' Chilliwack, and ridden by Langley trainer, Jeff Parrish. Other local competitors having a good showing included: Bill Strand riding Topsail Brisk, placing fourth in the 3 yr Old Futurity, the top scoring non-pro in this category. Melissa Baroni of Burnaby placed second in the rookie competition riding Jim Dandy Tucker, followed by I'm A Kelly Girl Too ridden by Ian Tipton of Maple Ridge in third. Malbec Chex ridden by Mark Robinson of Surrey, finished fourth in the non-pro competition. The most memorable point of the evening was trainer Doug Stroud's (Bothell, Washington) ride on The Night' Doctor. This horse was a top 10 finalist at the 1992 Reno Spectacular show (a premier reining event) in his first time shown. The crowd witnessed the best performance of the weekend as Doug took his mount through the maneuvers. His superior spins awed the crowd, and his spectacular sliding stops brought hoots, hollers and stomping of feet (the equivalent of a standing ovation) as the spectators showed thek appreciation of the athletic ability of this pair. Many thanks go to sponsors and organizers. Without them this event would not have been a great success. Plans are well under way for tbe scond annual Super Slide and Spin to be held October 15, 16 and 17, 1993. Mark your calendars as this event is expected to become a premier West Coast Reining Event.
