The school board wasn't sure what to make of the policy documents for the intermediate and graduation program, handed down from Victoria, but they figure that it will cost more money than the board receives. The ministry has proposed replacing the anecdotal reports with what is called "structured written comments." Other changes drafted by the ministry include a greater emphasis on intellectual development over the social and career aspects of schooling, and the elimination of plus and minus on letter grades. The ministry asked the board to respond to the proposals before implementation in September. Trustee Bruce Barnes suggested it was "presumptuous" to ask for changes, "without giving the dollars to deliver... it forces people to become more cynical." He also deplored elimination of letter grade plus and minus marks, adding that, "50 percent for a C mark is too low." He compared that to a sales clerk giving correct change 50 percent of the time, and asked if that would qualify for a C or satisfactory mark. Evidently there are many organizations and individuals in Langley district preparing responses to the ministry's proposals.

Provincial and city of Vancouver officials have done their utmost to attempt to convince Langley township fathers that the soil is absolutely harmless to the environment. Why it still had to be removed from the Vancouver site, at a cost of many millions of dollars to the B.C. taxpayers, has never fully been explained. Story began when the False Creek properties were sold by the provincial government to a Taiwanese billionaire. It became a hot issue leading up to the provincial election that saw the defeat/of the Bill VanderZalm administration and the inauguration of Mike Harcourt's NDP. The players in that political football game decided that the soil was badly contaminated and could not be left in place after the sale had been concluded. British Columbia's taxpayers would have to pay for the removal. Since-that fateful day, some three years ago, studies upon studies have been undertaken. These alone cost millions of dollars. Then last year, the people in charge of the project were ready to move. In a blitz-style operation, a flotilla of heavy dumptrucks began early in the morning to transport the dirt to the Aldergrove site. The first to find out were the neighboring residents. Soon the phones started ringing off the hook at municipal hall in Murrayville. No, no permit had been issued, and within a couple of hours then mayor John Beales ordered a cease and desist injunction against the project managers. Since then, delegations from Vancouver and Victoria have been sent to Murrayville on missions aimed at subjugating the natives. The soil is absolutely benign, the emissaries assured, and, yes, they would like to get rid of the rest of it as well. The controversial soil would just be stored at the Aldergrove site on a temporary basis, they said, and intimated - without making any promises - that it would be used to build a new freeway overpass in Langley. They now want to resume transfer of the soil to the Aldergrove Seford gravel pit near 256 Street. And this time they have actually applied for a local permit. "What are we going to do?" asked Mayor John Scholtens.

AAA president, Dorla Malo said the 1994 Fall Fair was cancelled, on a unanimous decision of membership, because, "Financial and human resource constraints make the production of the Fall Fair infeasible. However, the association will continue to sponsor its agricultural bursaries and scholarships and will endeavour to sponsor more 4-H activities." She said the AAA office in the Aldergrove Mall will continue to function as its headquarters, while the feasibility study is underway into the Fall Fair's future. The non-profit society has continuously spop£pred the annual fajr since 1912, except for a couple of years at the height of the World Wars when manpower ^Hd resources were put to tj&cl-" war effort. However, the dearth of volunteers willing to help the function has been an ongoing problem for the society. Malo told The Star that other community fairs have undergone changes with the times and she believes the Aldergrove fair will have to do the same. Aldergrove has grown considerably, but has become a bedroom community for urban commuters who are Students staying LANGLEY - Less local students are withdrawing from school and more are graduating, noted trustee Bruce Barnes, Monday. He said last year's statistics show that Langley district student withdrawal figures are down to 11 percent compared to more than 24 percent a few years ago. The current provincial average is 22.6 percent. He also observed that 78.5 percent of Langley's grade 12s graduated last year, compared to 57 percent in 1989-'90. Barnes credited the improvement to both changing demands in the workplace as well as the district's alternative programs such as career preparation. not becoming involved with the fair and other organizations. She pointed out that out of the current 15 AAA members, only four are under age 65, and only two of these under 40 years. "They're burnt out, especially after last year's fair," said Malo. "There's no point in killing ourselves." While volunteer numbers swell up to 30 during the two-day fair, there is a lot of work involved in the organization of it for months before, which invariably falls on the shoulders of three or four people. Some longtime supporters have also moved outside the Lower Mainland area in recent years. Malo also expressed disappointment with attendance and entry figures. She said bad weather on the first day of last fall's fair hurt attendance, but a total of 1,600 paid customers is not enough, and neither is the 1,300 entries from 157 people. Another issue is cash payout of almost $3,000 in prizes compared to $700 in entry fees. Malo said the fair broke even, but has no future on its present track. While a municipal grant of $2,500 helped cover the municipal arena's $3,300 rental fee, she said many municipalities simply offer free rental space for fairs. Other fairs have also gone to handing out ribbons rather than cash prizes. Livestock competitions are also a drawing card for other fairs, but there is no space locally for the Aldergrove fair to do so. The AAA is still talking to the municipality about a possible agricultural complex in south Aldergrove, and may also negotiate with the Langley Agricultural Association about the possibility of a joint fair in future years. Another possibility is to simply downsize the fair, in a smaller venue and with fewer entry categories. She said that many categories have in recent years only had one or two entries each, so that judging became a virtual impossibility. "We need community input," said Malo. "We'll be canvassing the community to see what they want, too." She asks that the public stop by the AAA office in the mall or '"all 857-0588, with their suggestions. Fencing business busted MATSQUI - Police here have discovered a cache of stolen property valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars. The stolen goods, ranging from vehicles to building supplies and sporting goods, were found on a ten acre property outside Mission city. Three men have been charged with theft and possession of stolen property, and police said they believe the site was used as headquarters for a large fencing operation.

Moody's Investors Service Inc. told federal and provincial governments their combined debt would reach crisis levels, if it did not slop growing. The agency said the credit ratings of Canada and individual provinces could be cut - increasing their cost of borrowing money - if they do not move quickly to reduce spending. "The possibility for credit rating adjustments cannot be precluded," said moody's in its annual report on Canada's provinces. Analyst Yves said provincial governments efforts to reduce their deficits will be hampered by slow economic growth.

She said she wants to see additional Crown Counsel added to 25 of B.C.'s 46 Crown Counsel offices. "Matsqui has a relatively low crime rate but amalgamation and ongoing growth has raised concerns about the incidence of crime," said McCarthy, adding that Matsqui voters have been telling her that crime is an issue they want to see addressed in the byelection here. While the plan would cost about $2.5-million, she said it would be cost-effective in that it "would encourage police to enforce the law in a more stringent manner" because officers would know that justice would be expedited, and cases would- not drag on for months on end. It would also deter youth offenders, as they "would think twice before committing criminal acts." McCarthy said funding for the Crown Counsel expansion would easily be recouped by "eliminating three specific NDP patronage departments, each of which cost taxpayers more than $2-million per year." The three "pork-barrels" she would axe are the Crown Corporations Secretariat, B.C. Energy Council and Cabinet Planning Secretariat, all of which McCarthy said have no reason for existence. The second part of her plan is a formal provincial review of the impact of the Young Offenders Act in B.C. This review, possibly a Royal Commission, would "look into the impact of sentencing and particularly the question of deterrence on repeat offenders." She said Matsqui residents have suggested minimum mandatory sentences for young offenders, and they've also complained about the length of time it takes for offenders to go to trial. The time averages about eight months, but should be reduced to three, she said. "Matsqui has a very low incidence of crime, but concerns are increasing as the community grows," said McCarthy, who noted that the municipality had 106 offences per thousand population, compared to 148 in Abbotsford, 160 in Mission and 200 in Langley.

MLA Gary Farrell-Collins crunches the Liberals' Matsqui canvass numbers while candidate Mike de Jong looks on, Saturday afternoon. Ninety-six supporters polled neighborhoods during the party's blitz. -Kurt Langmann photo McCarthy a spender, too, says local MLA J MATSQtfr- Liberal MLA Gary Farrell-Collins says Social Credit leader Grace McCarthy's attack on Liberal leader Gordon Campbell's fiscal record while he was mayor of Vancouver city is, at least, hypocritical. The Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA was in Matsqui on Saturday, helping out Matsqui's Liberal hopeful, Mike de Jong. Farrell- Collins gave The Star a letter to the editor (see letters page) and a four-page summary of McCarthy's "record of fiscal and managerial incompetence." His source is the Ministry of Finance, Public Accounts and Estimates. Farrell-Collins said that, "During seven out of her first ten years as minister with portfolio she was unable to stay within her budget." While McCarthy was Provincial Secretary,. 1976-79, her ministry spending grew by 74 percent, while the provincial gross domestic product rose only 48 percent during those same four years. "It is interesting to note that during her period as Minister of Human Resources (1979-'86) there was, within a period of four years, an increase in actual spending of $594-million, or an increase of 72 percent," said Farrell-Collins. "In the early '80s, Mrs. McCarthy oversaw two massive budget overruns within her ministry, each in excess of ten percent of her budget." Human Resources spending grew by 129 percent over the seven years she headed the ministry, while B.C.'s GDP grew by only 72 percent. Staffing levels were reduced in the ministry at the same time, from 1979's 4,806 to 1987's 4,473. However, during the three years she was Minister of Economic Development, 1986-'89, staffing levels grew by 37 percent, even though spending decreased from $935-million in 1986-'87 to $80-million in 1988- '89.

FEBRUARY-ffc 1994 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who are they really kidding? I Crime is no mystery ** "J %a# CHJtr-vr Uo Ctnr CIV KT_» - .... _:— 1 By NIGEL HANNAFORD PORT ALBERNI - So, the taxpayers are getting ripped off, says the auditor-general in his annual report. Faulty collection procedures have left the government owed $1.8-billion in unremitted GST. The media takes up the cry. Canadians wondering why all their taxes have not made a dent in the half-trill ion dollar national debt received one answer recently: 'A collection system riddled with holes,' declared a Vancouver Sun hack on the front page. The. article went on to quote revenue minister David - the half-million dollar man - Anderson, claiming that his department was making progress on tax evaders. It is understandable that the government would wish to divert our eyes from the true source of our annual deficits, namely 25 years of abysmal stewardship by both mainline parties. It is also not the first time that a reporter has missed the larger picture, so let's not be deceived here. While $1.8-billion is a handsome amount, it is rather piffling compared to this year's $45-bil- lion deficit. In other words, even if the collection system had worked as it was supposed to, we would still be $43.2-billion short. The story was a sidebar, not a headline, though it was treated as the latter from coast to coast. Could we then deal with the deficit by attacking government spending? During parliament's opening session, Preston Manning politely suggested a $7-billion cut in government spending. Even supposing Mr. Chretien were inclined to receive helpful suggestions from the Reform party - "Gee, Preston, I 'ad not thought of 'zat" - that would still leave us $35-billion short if next year is no worse than this one. Even Mr. Manning has never proposed such a huge cut. Neither approach - attacking delinquent taxpayers nor savage cuts in government spending - will prevent us from rapidly sliding further into the hole. The root of our problem is of course our old friend compound interest, together with some questionable decisions on fiscal policy stretching back to the 1950s. Any high school student should be able to deduce that if a family had consistently financed their overspending by bank loans at the rate of $1,000 a year for 25 years, they would now owe over $100,000, assuming a steady 10 percent interest rate. There are some differences between national finances and those of the home but the numbers work just the same. Canada has run a deficit since before Pierre Trudeau became prime minister in 1969 and of the half trillion dollars we now owe, much the bigger part is interest on interest. The main problem, however, is that the dominion government some 40 years ago relinquished its constitutional right and duty to create the nation's money. Back in the early 'fifties, when Graham Towers was in charge of the Bank of Canada, the nation's bank created as much as a third of the nation's money, debt free. It was spent into existence. Towers reined in the chartered banks and restricted the amount of money they could create, thus keeping inflation in check. Since then, the situation has developed to the point where the only money created by the dominion government through the Bank of Canada is the actual notes and coinage we use, about three percent of the total. All the rest comes into existence through a chartered bank loan ing money to somebody at interest, as reference to any economics textbook will confirm. Our solution is to reverse the process. Editor, The Star, Sir, Let us not be willingly unaware of why the many levels of crime today. In my opinion the cause is not a mystery. Why should we expect the world's people to behave as human angels, when the powerful, modern education system itself has taught them the opposite, commonly known as "survival of the fittest", and very much in vogue today. After all, everybody wants to be in current fashion, don't we? So there we have it. Not a pretty picture, and forget wisdom. Whatever happened to "Do unto others..." and the good teaching of our sacred books, under which was enjoyed some level of sanity at least? Therefore to the politicians and whoever else: It is high time to remove the blinkers, before a doomsday - of your own making - envelops us. Excuse the blunt- ness. MARY CHERNOS Burnaby A self-serving philosophy ' Editor, The Star, Sir, There is something that should be stopped, and that is when politician passes a motion or signs contracts in the last minutes before an election, and saddles the incoming representative with their mess. We have examples of that in federal, provincial, and municipal politics. One case is Councilor John Campbell's motion to have Norm Severide front a committee to review council's indemnities. The last time Severide did that, councilors got a hefty raise of $3,300 each, the mayor did better with $20,946, and right behind came the rest of the bureaucrats, to quote the press (having an outsider make the decision, said Rod Edwards, removes personal bias or political viewpoint). What a laugh; who would think of putting a fox in a chicken coop? While he is at it, I wish he would tell the rest of us, as he is such an expert, how we might get the money to pay for all these increases. My pension increased last year by $26.64,*my taxes increased by $220.15. As of now I don't think there is any grant which I can apply for. Local politicians plan to spend $lll-miUion, or are they? We have been lied to before. How much more are they going to add to the $21-million they have laying around; yet last year it cost 3.8% of the budget to service the debt. In case you did not read it on the front page, Steve Burton and Heather McMullan they think they are better at saving our money then we are, they would like to increase taxes to build up reserves, funds that can be spent as they please. I don't know why they think they should get any money from Victoria; they have $21-million laying around. TED HANSEN Aldergrove It's the Same Old SOnq Campbell history defended When Paul Martin was appointed minister of finance, he said that he would be looking for ideas from the public to find ways to rebuild Canada's economy. It sounded good at the time, but judging from the limited coverage of some of these meetings, it appear all the same old ideas will simply be run through the mill once again for the same disastrous results. Isn't it time for some new, fresh ideas, Mr. Martin? Isn't it time to deal with some of the root causes of our problems, such as the isolation of the various government ministries? various federal ministries are still claiming that expenditures in their departments will save the country. Those that aren't are claiming that the great sacrifices they plan to make in their departments is what will save the nation. None of them are eliminating their deputies, assistants, deputy assistants or assistant deputies. None of them are talking about improved efficiency. A recent investigation of the work done by the Canadian International Development Agency suggests that we are spending $2-billion per year for almost no results. The investigation states that 65 percent of the work CIDA performs has little impact, and that 15 percent is highly ineffective. It was also discovered that most CIDA operatives had become nothing but well paid tourists. And the list goes on and on. Rural atmosphere will be retained, says planner MURRAYVILLE - Langley will try to keep its rural atmosphere by retaining its 'country roads', a senior planner told township councilors here this week. Paul Crawford said that is what local residents have asked for. Referring to council's 'Langley Tomorrow' survey, Crawford said the great majority of Langleyites want the bucolic atmosphere to remain in Langley. They are not interested in upgrading and widening of the streets to highway standards. $§Sk Councilors, however, also heard two delegates who spoke in favor of some upgrading. One said that a new highway was needed to take commuter traffic from Aldergrove to the Number 99 highway, and the other resident proposed that some of the country roads be given boulevard treatment by providing pedestrian walkways and horse trails alongside the road, separated from the asphalt by a ditch. Crawford said this would be an expensive undertaking. Dial-a-fraud rings in $800,000 VANCOUVER - The Insurance Corporation of BC .saved more than $800,000 last year by following up tips phoned into its fraud hodine. The savings were part of a total of $39-million in exaggerated and fraudulent claims detect ed by.the provincially-owned auto insurance company in 1993- The biggest saving - $25-mil- lion - came from the 'no crash - no cash' policy of refusing to pay whiplash claims where there is little or no damage to the vehicle involved. Editor, The Star, Sir, On January 11, 1994, Moody's Investor's Services assigned the City of Vancouver a triple A credit rating. Unlike the Socred attack campaign reported in the Abbotsford Times and Aldergrove Star on Wednesday, February 2, the Moody report confirms three things: First, it confirms from a non- political source the strength of Gordon Campbell's financial leadership and economic development policies - "Strong growth in tax base (not taxes), an aggressive amortization schedule and conservative sinking fund policies, have kept 'Vancouver's debt burden to a very low level". This was done in spite of the provincial government shifting significant costs onto the city property taxpayer. Second, it forces the public to shine a bright light on Grace McCarthy, who we all respect as a British Columbian. During her ten years in cabinet she overspent her budget seven times. Furthermore, for four of those years her budget increased a total of 74% (GPP only grew 48%). Finally, it shows that Sonja Weissenbacher has not done her homework. She does not know Thanks for story Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of our Ishtar Transition Housing Society I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the article you recently published. It has been our experience that whenever the transition house has been given exposure in the local papers that inquiries regarding our services and donations increase substantially. The same is true following the recent publication. Our thanks to you for taking the time to compose such an informative article regarding our history and services. LINDA DRESSLER Ishtar Transition Housing that the Socreds refused to act on property tax reform that would have protected small businesses and that it was advocated five years ago by Gordon Campbell. It's hard to believe Ms. Weissenbacher would come out here to Matsqui to explain the world to us when she does so little to prepare herself. People are tired of politicians who deal in partial statistics they think will meet their political ends. Moody says it all - Vancouver got a triple A rating partly, at least, because Gordon Campbell was a triple A Mayor. I can tell you this...unlike the Socreds of the past and the NDP of the present, Gordon Campbell is thinking of the future and is committed to property tax reform, to removing school costs from property, and to a balanced budget in B.C. That's what B.C. Liberals will do. The leaders in the Social Credit caucuses, after decades in government, did none of these things.

BEARS IN TOP FORM Hard team to beat ALDERGROVE - February started off with a very exciting game for the Hewitt and Company Bruins 'B' hockey team. On Saturday Feb. 5 the Bruins hosted the Abbotsford Hawks in what would prove to be another exciting game. The Bruins Jon Remple was looking after the goal tending for Aldergrove, he was tested early in the game with Abbotsford taking several shots on the net. Three minutes into the game Jason McGovern got a nice pass from Jamie MacKay and broke through the Abbotsford defence to score on their goalie. The game was played with great intensity on both teams only to have the score stay at a one to zero score (this was good for Aldergrove). With one and a half minutes left in the first period the Bruins scored to make it two to zero.. Danny Thomson broke away from the Abbotsford defence to score an unassisted goal. A minute later Jason McGovern scored the Bruins their goal after getting a quick pass from Ricky Morrison. The first period ended this way but you knew it was only a matter of time before the Hawks would score. Jon Remple had to stay sharp in net because Abbotsford had been making some nice moves to get shots on the net. The Bruins defense team had been doing a good job of clearing the puck out of their own end as well as helping to put pressure on the Hawks. Both teams took several penalties and this put extra pressure on each | team as they tried to kill off these penalties without allowing the other team to score. The second period started off with Abbotsford getting three quick goals to tie the game at three each. This tough pressure that the Hawks put on seemed.to surprise the Bruins but after a bit of defensive work the Bruins got right back into the game. With five minutes left in the second period Aldergrove took the lead again when Aman Sivia took the puck up the ice and over the blue line. He then made a nice pass to Danny Thomson who put the puck neatly behind the Hawks goalie. This was Danny's second of the game. The lead did not last long for the Bruins as Abbotsford came back to tie the game less than thirty seconds later. The game was becoming a very emotional game as the fans were backing play after play with lots of cheering and clapping. This fan support seemedjtSJp drive both teams harder and harder. The Bruins were rewarded for their hard work in the last seconds of the second when Cory Mckinnon cleared the puck out of the Bruins' end with a long pass to Danny Thomson who beat Abbotsford's defense and scored his third goal of the game. Nice hat trick Danny! The start of the third period started out with very fast end to end hockey and the Bruins were able to hang on to their lead until Abbotsford scored and tied it up with seven minutes left in the game. The Hawks got the go ahead goal with three minutes left to play in the period. The Bruins put on a lot of pressure in the last three minutes, they pulled their goalie for the extra attacker but this time that didn't work. Abbotsford got an empty net goal with sixty-three seconds left in the game. The score was now seven to five but the Bruins didn't give up yet, they played with the net empty for the remainder of the game but the Bruins were not going to win this one. Our boys have beaten the Abbotsford team two out of the last three games and I overheard Abbots- ford comment that the Aldergrove Bruins were one of the hardest teams to beat that they had played. m DAY m BINGO BINGO 11 WALK-IN PROGRAM 7 DAYS A WEEK Sun. to Sat.

The following talented players lit up the scoreboard: Howard Richards assisted by Mark Stockbrocks and Tanner Rattray; Fake guns put teens at risk fj VANCOUVER - City police fear children's games with realistic looking toy handguns could end in tragic death. Sgt. Val Harrison said police recently came close to shooting a teenager playing cops and robbers when they responded to a weekend call about a man with a gun. "He thought the police were the kids he was playing with and almost drew on the police officers. If that had happened, he would have been shot," Harrison said. "We are very concerned that there's going to be a tragedy and we'd like to ask parents and people out there that know that these guns are out there - don't let your kids have them, don't let your kids play with them," she added. Police can't take chances because a growing number of young criminals, some as young as 12, are carrying real guns, Harrison said. Chris Fox from Rattray; Greg Maggio from Rattray; and finally Kris Lindquist from Richards, for a final score of 5-4 for Arbutus. Saturday, Feb. 5, the teamwork continued on. If you think the players work well together, you should see their parents! Special thanks to Charlie Fox and Betty Gilbert School for permitting us to use the school as a bottle depot for our fundraiser bottle drive; and to Diane Fox for organizing the event; to all the team; and to the parents who drove; sorted cans and bottles, and kept their sense of humour; but especially to all the great folks who gave us the 'empties*. Your generosity made it a success! Sunday morning the boys drew near to the end of league play with an exciting contest at Twin Rinks vs. Ridge Meadows. With Colby Smith in net, the lone goal was scored by Tanner Rattray from Mark Stockbrocks, for a final score of 3-1 for Ridge Meadows. This was a close one, with both teams scoreless til the third period! Valentine Dance, Sat., Feb. 12 at Elks' Hall: tickets 856-1025. FIRST AID TIPS!

The score is tied 66 to 66. The stands in the gym are filled with Totem fans all standing on their seats cheering wildly. The home team has the ball. The opposing side is skilled and tough and they are determined to stop them. Coach Brown takes a time out. He has fought as hard as the players this game and he is skilled also. But v^hat strategy could he possibly give to his young team of 16 and 17 year old boys that they would not only listen to but also carry out? Corey Yurick takes the ball on the side, a full court's distance from the opponent's basket. How well he can get the ball onto the court is a decisive factor in the outcome of the game and he has only five seconds in which to do it. The whistle blows and the play begins. Corey looks cool but the other team is pressing, giving him little room to find an opening. He is looking for Randy Nohr, the guard whose ball handling ability has gotten the team out of tight spots before. , Suddenly from the crowd of players Randy breaks away, running up to center court. Corey lobs the ball in a long and perfect pass which lands just in front of Nohr. Randy lets the ball roll a few feet knowing that the clock won't start until he touches it. He scoops it in, dribbles twice and stops up short at the three point line. He can make this shot and the other team knows it. It is this thought that makes the opposing player move away from the Totems player who is positioned under the basket. As he races towards Randy, determined to block the shot, Nohr calmly throws the ball over the players' head into the waiting hands of John Hunter. No one is near John; it is just the ball and the basket and John. He reaches up and drops it in, just as the.J^uzzer sounds. And the roar of the crowd echoes throughout the school. I was^sitting beside your dad John and I wish you could have seen his face at that moment. He was so happy for you! And so the Aldergrove Totems win against G.P. V.nier in the first game of their hard fought battle in the triple A Basketball tournament held at Aldergrove and M.E.I, in Abbotsford this past weekend. The Totems acquitted themselves well, placing third over all. They lost a heart-breaking semi-final game in the last few seconds against Mowat who went on to win the tournament. For some parents, the grocery store was the first stop on the way home from the game that night for doughnuts and chocolate cookies, no doubt bought in an attempt to ease the sonow. Game three was again a 'nail- biter*, the third in just two days, but the Totems triumphed winning against a strong Steveston team 70 to 64. It was in indication of the strength of the Aldergrove team when, in each of the three games, a different player won the 'Player of the Game' award. Congratulations to James Maksymiw, Corey Yurick and Randy Nohr. The Totems play again Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. at Aldergrove Secondary School gym against Chilliwack. It was Chilliwack who crushed the Totems chances of playing in the Junior B.C. Provincial Championships last year by defeating them in the Fraser "valley zone finals. I have a feeling that it is pay-back time! By the way, about that strategy Coach Brown worked out in the final seconds of the first game - the guys tell me they just did what they were told!

They continue to chip away at teams to reach the National Championships in Lethbridge, Alberta in March. The Lady Cascades are a well rounded team. Each night every mem- Spartans lose weekend play LANGLEY - The number two ranking of Douglas College men's basketball was not challenged Friday night by the out- manned Trinity Western Spartans. Although the Spartans managed to narrow the margin to 30-21 midway in the first half, Douglas widened the gap to lead 54-26 at half time. A determined effort by the Spartans was to no avail as the Royals downed TWU 103-71. Saturday brought more of the same as Trinity Western played the, ¥hird ranked Vancouver Community College Falcons. The Falcons raced to an early 41-18 lead^at TWU, through the efforts of several three pointers, came back to trail by only 47-37 at the half. The Spartans continued to battle in the second half but could only close to 79-70 with five minutes remaining. VCC finished with a 99-88 victory. TWU had 12 three pointers in the contest, five of which were by Walnut Grove rookie Matt Phillipchalk. Phillipchalk also led the scoring with 21 points. ber of this team has the ability to come through and help the team to victory. Saturday night the Cascades increased their league record to 10- 0 with a 65-53 win over the Douglas College Royals. Cascade Sue Parke played a strong second half, scoring 6 out of 7 shots, for a game total of 18 points, Parke was top scorer for the Cascades. An all round game was played by Carol Vinson who added points. Vinson played an outstanding defensive game, acquiring the role of top Douglas players. A steady performance was played, by point guard Danielle Moe who scored 11 points also.

Cascades take on my number one team ABBOTSFORD - On Saturday, Feb. 5, the UCFV Cascades men were hosted by the Douglas College Royals, currently number one in league play. The term's cool, calculated, and delensive suitably convey the first half action. Royals' All- Canadian Vern Knoop made 11 of his 23 points in the first half, and combined with the, strong inside play of Scott Wilton, eight of his 16 points in the first half, the Royals were able to take a tentative 34-33 half time lead. However, the Cascades, playing one of their best games yet, challenged the Royals on every possession. Cascade forward Tim Battel contributed his best performance of the season recording 16 points, 11 re bounds, and two steals. Assisting Bartel was Dan McLeod, who made seven of nine shots for 15 points. Trailing 74-62 with five minutes left, the C's led by captain Mark Wapples (15 points), were able to bring themselves to within two points, 72-74, with less than a minute left. But a pair of missed free- throws, and Douglas composure resulted in the Royals taking a hard fought 77-72 win. Although the C's collected 38 rebounds, seven steals, and several blocks Douglas reasserted their deserved ranking of second in Canada. "-^M Next week, the Cascades will brave the winter roads travelling inland to play Kamloops then Kelowna. ALDERGROVE RINGETTE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING THURSDAY MARCH 10 — 7:00 P.M.

Offensively Trinity struggled under pressure by the Royals which caused them to make crucial mistakes in their offensive delivery. They were able to hold Douglas College Royals score less for six minutes early in the second half. Deb Meyer led the scoring with fourteen points. In their second game of the weekend, the Lady Spartans defeated the \ancouver Community College Falcons 80-67 Saturday evening. The defensive pressure was aggressive and consistent for forty minutes. TWU attacked to win on the offensive end which resulted in one of the best offensive games. Jen Kreek, with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks and Christa Toews, with 21 points and 10 rebounds had remarkable games. Deb Meyer and Amber Harris ran the show from the point. The Spartans current record is 6-5. Their next game is against Northwest college on February 8. Bruins shut down the Royals in disciplined game ALDERGROVE - The Hourglass Pee Wee B Bruins may have started the week off on the wrong foot as they racked up penalty minutes and not goals in their game against the Coquitlam Chiefs, Thursday. You can't score goals from the penalty box. A lesson well learned and demonstrated as they shut down the New Westminster Royals 4-0, Saturday. The Bruins showed outstanding self-discipline as they refused to allow themselves to be drawn into cheap penalties, picking up only eight penalty minutes to their opponents twenty-two. The Bruins started the week off with another change to their lineup, losing Paul Bryant to oSe of Minor Hockey's technicalities. Brought up from house we welcome Jesse Sewell. Jesse was not long in proving his value to the team. The Coquidam Chiefs were first on the board at 7:24 of the first. Then came Jesse - picking up Dustin Goodman's pass from behind the net, Jesse got a quick shot away to put the Bruins in the scoring with a powerplay goal at 4:53- Coquitlam got their second at 2:12, also on a powerplay. Penalties continue to prove costly for both teams as the Chiefs score again at 4:45, seconds after the Bruins get back to full strength. Then at 4:05 it's the Bruins turn to capitalize on a powerplay as Paul Daley steals the puck from the Coquitlam defense, passes up to Adam Johannesson from the red line - Adam on a short breakaway gets a shot off between the legs of the Chiefs goalie. Already a very rough game, the play gets even more chippy in the thkd period as the Bruins battle to catch the Chiefs and the Chiefs do all within their power to maintain their lead. More penalties are racked up by both NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT M THE MAT FOR YOU! SPjZ SINCE 1»30 fj LTD If you are new to our community, call the welcome Wagon hostess. Remy-856-2711 (Answering service - 530-6009) teams but it is the Chiefs who finally manage to take the advantage with another powerplay goal at 2:26. Thus ends the game 4-2 in favor of the Chiefs. Saturday the Bruins may have had to travel through the fog to play the New Westminster Royals but once on the ice the Bruins played with a clear head. Aldergrove had played in this arena several times throughout the season and were familiar with New Westrninster hospitality. After losing three goals to penalties earlier in the week they were not to be taken in again. The team played smart hockey and although they picked up three coincidental penalties they were only caught short-handed once during the game. The play was rough from the start which is not surprising playing on the Royals home ice. The first period was scoreless with both teams playing fairly evenly, Aldergrove with a slight advantage in shots on goal. Aldergrove took control of the second period with an early powerplay goal at 14:29- Scott Robinson with the puck passes to Martin Nicola - Martin one-times it and Delayne Dupuis sinks the rebound. Aldergrove continues to set the pace outshooting New West two- to-one and picking up a second goal late in the period. Greg McWilliams picks up a pass from Jesse and takes his shot. The shot is stopped but Dustin is there to pick up the rebound and put the puck betweeri the legs of the Royals netminder - time 0:46. Brad Nechvolodoff, after two excellent periods in goal for the Bruins was relieved by Jason Philps for the third. Poor Jason must have felt like the Maytag repairman as the Bruins defense did not let the Royals near him. The Bruins had only three de- fensemen on this night but they kept the Royals scoreless during the first two periods and didn't allow them even a shotion goal during the third. A great job by BJ Konschuh, Nathan Gole and Ben Eldridge. If Aldergrove set the pace for the first two periods, they absolutely dominated the third. The Royals goalie was kept busy as New West played short-handed for a good portion of the third period. The Bruins are once again working a powerplay when Scott Robinson drops the puck to Delayne as they cross, Delayne passes to Martin. Martin takes a shot on goal and Delayne gets the rebound, time - 11:35. The Royals, after continuously being shut down by the Bruins, are getting more and more frustrated and continue to pick up penalties, managing to take the Bruins out with them on a couple of coincidental. The Bruins quickly get their heads back in the game and pick up their fourth goal at 5:05 as Nathan moves the puck to Scott and Scott crosses with Dustin. Dustin shoots from the blue line and Scott picks up the rebound. The Bruins demonstrating admirable self-control cannot be goaded into picking up further penalties and hold on to their 4-0 shut-out, their first of the season. Congratulations Bruins! The Hourglass Pee Wee B Bruins last scheduled league game before playoffs is Thursday, Feb. 10 in Aldergrove vs Burnaby Minor B2.

Scoring commenced in the opening few minutes of the first half when a pass from Kevin Ban- was converted into a goal by Justin Student for Fraser Valley. Minutes later, Harmel Gill chipped the ball over the Van City keepers head for a 2-0 lead for the \alley. Although a corner kick failed to yield a goal for the Valley the confusion in front of the net enabled Norbert Bisek to clear the ball and pass to Barr who pounded the ball home; 3-0. Fraser Valley's fourth goal resulted when a shot by Craig Eaton was cleared by Van City's keeper but caught on the rebound by Gill and driven into the net. Van City were unable to penetrate the excellent goaltending by Fraser Valley keeper Marc Abshagen who earned his shutout with the final score of 4- 0. Valley team stick to guns ALDERGROVE - The play between Fraser Valley United and Burnaby United (ranked second in the league) commenced at an extremely fast pace, Jan. 30. Fraser Valley's Harmel Gill opened up the scoring with an assist by Matt Borck; the only goal to be scored in the first half. Burnaby retaliated aggressively in the second half, but Fraser Valley stuck to their task, were quick to break, marked their opponents well, catching them on the counter attack. Defenseman Richard Greaves had a particularly strong game for the Valley. Steve Lewis (FV), through his forceful play drew a penalty in the box. This was quickly converted into FV's second goal by Kevin Saunders. Burnaby were able to score one goal but keeper Marc Abshagen kept the Valley on top with many important saves at key times. An all round team effort earned Fraser 'Valley their 2-1 victory. Novices add scoring punch ALDERGROVE - The Dawson Brill Bruins added "scoring punch" to their already strong game, Saturday afternoon in Aldergrove. The Bruins displayed a potent offense as they defeated the Langley Times Hurricanes, 9- 4. Hard-working centre Kevin Carlson played an outstanding game for Dawson Brill, scoring his first hattrick of the season. His ever-improving teammate, Kyle Barry also had a great game scoring two nice goals. Ryan \eitch, Eric McGovern, captain Jeff Toth and Teddy Vickers all played a strong game, each scoring one goal and adding two assists. Jeff Perdikis played a good game in goal for the Bruins, making many fine saves and also contributed an assist on one of the Bruin goals. Josh Marr, Danny Kivinen and Todd Hagen each contributed two assists to the Bruins' scoring machine. The Bruins next game is Feb. 12 at 2:30 at Aldergrove Arena. Come out and see these stars of the future. Everyone is welcome to come and cheer and have fun!

Two out of three; not bad ALDERGROVE - After their loss against the Pitt Meadow Lions, the weekend before last, the ■Warriors have come back with two wins. The game against the Lions was played on the Pitt Meadows home field. The MC&rriors seemed to be in slow motion that game, and lost 4-0. The Warriors, who have overall, been a winning team, decided that one loss was enough. Oh Thursday, January 27, they had a chance to once again prove what they are really made of. An exhi- bition match was called by the Langley Lightnings, who were eager to win against the formidable ^Jvarriors. The Warriors stood strong and won the exhibition match 6-1. Saturday's game showed that the Wirriors were once again back on the winning trend and maybe the previous .Saturday's game was just a bad dream. The ^Cvarriors were playing the Peace Arch Eagles on Warriors home field at Bradner Park. The Eagles are an assertive team with a number of aggressive players. But the ■V&arriors showed the Eagles that scoring is what they do best and scored 5 goals on the Eagles. Congratulations to Michel Vaillancourt who had a shut out, the final score being 5-0 for the Aldergrove Warriors. Ryan Craig played an outstanding game, with a number of shots on goal. He managed to score 2 of the goals for his team. James Hamilton also scored 2 and assisted in 2 and Sean Palke scored 1. Special recognition goes to David Mutz who played out-, standing defense, and special recognition goes to Mitch who had to be taken out of the game as a result of a knee injury. Good work to all the Warriors, who continue to represent the Aldergrove Soccer Association as a skilled and reputable organization. LANGLEY - The Trinity Western University Men's Volleyball team took one game over the local men's club team, the X-men in a game on February 4 at TWU. Although this was an exhibition match, it was helpful for the TWU team to play an experienced ball team. Coach Pike commented after the game that, "Mental mistakes cost us the match this weekend which will need to be eliminated by the time playoffs roll around."

T he Pirates stormed out to a 4-1 first period lead. The Ducks then regrouped and second period goals by Greg Neufeld and Tyson DeGianni with two each helped the Ducks come back and trail 6- 5 at the end of the second period. The Ducks then played a strong team third period and kept the game close but could not tie the score. With one minute to play the score was 8-7 for the Pirates and the Ducks pressing, but the Pirates scored three goals in the last minute to come out with a 11-7 victory. The players of the Mighty Ducks should be proud of the discipline they displayed in this game. Brodie Sorenson played outstanding in goal and appears to be a keeper of the future. The defense ol Cody Hopkins, Greg Wismer, Jacob Harder, Sonia Strandt played very well. The offense was led by Greg Neufeld with 3 goals and 2 assists, Tyson DeGianni chipped in 2 goals and Peewees face off against Arbutus ALDERGROVE - The Pac-Can PeeWee A Bruins played a game at homegpn Saturday, Feb. 5 against Arbutus. Gerry Tucker played in the nets. The first period was played evenly at both ends of the ice and ended in a scoreless tie. Arbutus went up 3-0 in the second period with two power play goals but Aldergrove came back with just over a minute left in the period to make the score 3- 1 on a goal by Kyle Grant from Dean Arsene. Both teams played very well in the third period and Aldergrove scored again to close the gap to one goal on a hard shot by Dean Arsene, assisted by Chris Colonval and Mike Shipley, Aldergrove had several scoring chances in the final minutes of play and pulled their goalie in the last minute but were unable to tie the game up and so it ended with Arbutus winning 3-2. The final league game for this year was played on Sunday, Feb. 6 at Hollyburn with Ryan Gates as goalie. Aldergrove started out very scrambly and allowed Hollyburn to go up by four goals in the first period. The second period was much mofe evenly played with each team scoring two goals. Aldergrove goals were scored by Mike Shipley unassisted and Elliot Page from Dean Arsene. The third period was scoreless throughout and the final score was Hollyburn 6, Aldergrove 2.

LANGLEY - The Career Education Department of School District #35 invites residents to hear Dr. John Walsh of the University of Guelph discuss issues surrounding student career choices and their options after graduation. Dr. Walsh has done extensive research into the career choices of Canadian students through surveys of students, parents and employers. He is working this year with the British Columbia Ministry of Skills Training and Labour on the revitalization of apprenticeship. He has spoken widely to business, community and school groups and is well known for his humorous common sense approach to education and its relationship to what students do after graduation. His message is particularly suitable for parents of teenagers as it provides a positive perspective on their options. Dr. Walsh's presentation will be followed by a discussion period. It takes place at 7:30 p.m., February 16 at Langley Conference Centre, 20381 - 66th Avenue (east off 200 Street).

A similar event, called Fabulous Folk Tales Festival will look at various ethnic cultures, again at Willowbrook, on March 10. Of hope and promise: Art against racism ABBOTSFORD - Racism and racial discrimination are very much facts of life in Canadian society, whether expressed in blatant hostility, in stereotyping, "polite" prejudice or systemic discrimination. However, open discussion can help allay the ignorance and fear that feeds racism, and artists, as cultural keepers and interpreters, and uniquely positioned to produce powerful statements on the themes of racism and anti-racism. For this reason, the Abbotsford-Matsqui Arts Council is presenting Of Hope and Promise, an exhibition of art against racism, workshops, and an evening of live performances on the themes of racism, anti- racism, racial discrimination and exploitation, and cross-cultural expression and understanding. The art exhibition will be open to the public, Monday, March 21 to Thursday, March 24, noon to 8 p.m. daily, and Friday, March 25, from noon to 4 p.m. at the McCallum Activity Centre, 2478 McCallum Road. Anti-racism workshops will take place on Monday March 21, the United Nations Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and throughout the week leading up to an evening of poetry readings, short stories and short dramatic works on Saturday, March 26 at the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium. Artists of all ages and ethno- cultural and artistic backgrounds residing in the central and upper Fraser Valley may enter work for jurying and possible inclusion in either the art exhibition or the evening of readings and performances. For entry forms call 852- 9358 or write to: Of Hope and Promise, Box 336, Abbotsford, B.C. Y2S 4N9- The deadline for submission of poems, stories and plays is March 3. Registration by artists wishing to submit visual artwork is March 15- Of Hope and Promise is made possible with the assistance of Multicuituralism and Citizenship Canada. Dance troupe from Uganda visits the Fraser Valley ■§%\ MISSION - The Mission Concert Series presents the dance troupe N'Dere from Uganda on Tuesday, February 15 at 8 p.m. at Mission Secondary School auditorium. In 1987, N'Dere (pronounced en-deer-a) exploded onto the world scene...and the timing could not have been better. Here was the first troupe of its kind permitted to appear before Ugandan audiences following years of political and cultural repression. Here was the new Uganda emerging from the dark ages of Idi Amin's tyrannical dictatorship. Since that glorious reawakening, N'Dere has been applauded to its unswerving dedication to recapturing the rich heritage of African dance, music and drama. With engoma (drums), endere (flute), enkwanzi (panpipe), amadina (xylophone;, edongo (lyre), N'Dere's vibrant programming combines the thrilling traditions of tribal dance with the intoxicating rhythms of African percussion and the primal sonority of the earliest wind and string instruments, to create an evening of truly authentic African music and dance. A company of ten, N'Dere will transport you to the heart of Africa, with dazzling costumes, exotic dances, deep rooted African folklore, and superb musical artistry. The concert is the fourth of six in a subscription-based series. Single admission tickets are available due to increased seating capacity of the venue. The cost for adults of $15 advance, $18 at the door, and for students $8 advance, $10 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at Mission Pharmasave, Abbotsford Pharmasave or the Mission Music Society office, 33223 1st Ave. Other concerts in the series are pianist Michael Kim on March 20 and Vancouver Wind Trio on April 29.

FEBRUARY 10. 1994 Carnations to help MS MURRAYVILLE - The month of May has been proclaimed 'Multiple sclerosis month' in Langley and in British Columbia. The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada will be distributing carnations in return for cash donations during the month. Councilors decide to let commissioners rule ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, We have been having such beautiful weather lately and many of us here at our club believe we should be out in our gardens planting seeds and flowers so we can have them blooming in a couple of weeks. However, one of our male members tells us that we shouldn't plant anything until May. He is always telling us what to do and has a definite opinion on everything. He also tries to run the show when we make plans for bus trips to interesting places. There is a poem about Spring I would like to give him but I can't find it among my things. Can you help? Signed: Senior Miss. Dear Senior Miss, Maybe for once your friend is right. If you asked a garden shop about planting I'm sure they would tell you to wait until the danger of frost is passed. As for the poem I think you are referring to, here it is: "A perfecdy priceless old thing" "Er-spring, You perfecdy priceless old thing. I'm frightfully bucked at the signs that one sees; The jolly old sap in the topping old trees; The priceless old lilac and that sort of rot, It jolly well cheers a chap up, does it not? It's so fearfully bright, So amazingly right, And one feels as one feels if one gets rather tight. There's a tang in the air, If you know what I mean; And the grass as it were, Is so frightfully green. We shall soon have the jolly old bee on the wing- Er, spring." Dear Readers, Have you noticed all the building and activity going on in the centre of town? What a hive of busyness. The hardware store is extending its premises and across the street after a short period of closure the old Super Valu has become Extra Foods. Well worth a look through, bright and cheery and, believe me, the price is right too. I missed the bank robber at the Commerce last week by a few minutes. The old town is booming but with that comes nasty things like robberies and break-ins. Be careful out there. YOUR COMPLETE TECHNICAL STORE... at 2080 ZEROXING BLUE PRINTING • DRAFTING SERVICES ENGINEERING SUPPLIES FASTECH SERVICES LTD. 5718 GLOVER ROAD 533-5657 S.H. (STEW) MclVOR MURRAYVILLE - A subdivision application submitted by the owners of an 80-acre farm in the Salmon River Uplands moved one step closer to realization this week as local councilors voted to let the BC Agricultural Land Commission decide. Owners of the property located at 6735 Otter Road (248 street), Arleigh and Heather Fair, have sought permission'to split their land into for 20-acre parcels. Only Coun. Muriel Arnason voted contrary to council's decision. Three years "not enough" NEW WESTMINSTER - A Langley family expressed disappointment with last week's sentencing of a father and grandfather to three years imprisonment for sexually abusing his daughter and granddaughter. Russell Lebed, 6l, was convicted by jury of seven counts of sexual fondling, sexual assault Recycling plant looking for site MURRAYVILLE - A Langley businessman has asked council's help in locating a suitable site in the township for recycling plant. Steve Peel, of Southwest Supply & Disposal, says he would like to lease one to five acres somewhere in the municipality, in order to start his new business. Plant would be used by both commercial and residential clients, Peel says, and the materials that could be recycled would include wood, metals, plastic, glass, cardboard, wallboard and used oils. ^HJS and incest, and was sentenced by Justice William Selbie, who termed Lebed's crimes "abhorrent." The Justice also lifted ban of publication of victim's names at the request of Susan Kern, 39 and her daughter, Laura, 17. Susan Kem said, "It was a very hollow victory. There's nothing the justice system can do to make . up the losses to my family. I don't think three years for 30 years of pain and torture is really adequate." She said she had turned to God after leaving home, and "I tried to forgive (Lebed) and show him some trust and what did he do? Abuse my daughter. I felt pain deeper than what I had sufered at his hands, knowing I had failed my child." Susan Kern said she asked for lifting of the publication ban because, "This has got to be stopped. I want people to know, never trust a child abuser." Laura Kern added that, "If our story can help one person it will- be worth it." Susan Kern said the result of the abuse has been the recent loss of her marriage and family, her home and her faith in God. Aldergrove to join &.. M "trouble shooters" VANCOUVER - Aldergrove Secondary is among 38 high school teams from across B.C. registered to compete in the 1994 BCAA/BCIT Trouble Shooting Contest. The contest is an autodiagnostic competition for grade 12 students enrolled in an automotive preparation course. The first stage of the contest is a written exam which will take place March 9- The top 10 school teams will advance to the final hands-on competition scheduled for May 6, in Burnaby. The winning team will then be eligible to go on to the United States national contest in Washington, D.C. in June. "This contest is important to us," says BCAA's Dave Chapman,. contest chair," because today's increasingly complex vehicles require skilled technicians, and they're difficult to find. We hope this contest will encourage talented students to pursue a career in automotive service." Bylaw made stricter MURRAYVILLE - Langley's 'firearms regulation' bylaw is being made more strict. In an amendment currently being contemplated by township councilors, the term 'firearm' has been broadened to include not only rifles, pistols, revolvers and shotguns, but also air guns, air rifles, air pistols, spring guns, longbows and crossbows. Community school use growing LANGLEY - A committee working on a pilot project for community use of school facilities is working through solutions to problems they are experiencing and feel positive of expansion of the program, said chair Donna Williams. The pilot includes five elementary schools to begin with; Alex Hope, Langley Meadows, Douglas Park, North Otter and Shortreed. It's a joint project involving the municipal and city parks and recreation departments, as well as the school district. Damage and injury liability is a concern ~ as trustee Denny Ross warned, "A parent's signature cannot protect us from negligence" — but superintendent Emery Dosdall said the pilot was established to "work out the wrinkles."- In order to keep out the "bad apples" the facilities are available only to groups in the schools' catchment areas, and they are responsible for any missing or damaged equipment. The philosophy is that since limited public recreational facilities are available to the community, schools should be made available after hours. Dosdall said, "It includes reciprocal use, so students get (reduced rates) on use of pools and arenas during school hours... to overcome lack of recreational space." NOTICE TO PARENTS AND OTHER TAXPAYERS d u i o FUNDI MORE SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM Your government's commitment to improving the. quality of education is reflected in funding increases for 1994/95 and in new measures to make the system more accountable to parents and other taxpayers. As well, we will ensure that new education dollars will be spent where they will benefit children most - in the classroom. A 3.9% Budget Increase. Herefs Where It Goes. The funding increase of $127 million will include: • full funding for new enrolments; • money for new services, but no money for new salary increases; • new, direct classroom support to help meet the special needs of children with behavioural disturbances, their teachers and other children in their classroom; • continued training for teachers and teacher assistants; • more than doubling money for the inner city school program; • continued support for the school meal program, English as a Second Language, the young parent program, and aboriginal education programs; and, • a one percent increase to cover cost pressures. Increased Accountability. District and school administration spending will be reduced and funding will be redirected to the classroom. We will take measures to ensure that funding allocated to children with special needs and aboriginal education programs is indeed spent in those areas.

V8V 2M4 Province of British Columbia Art Charbonneau Minister of Education Langley readies for big education changes LANGLEY - School superintendent Emery Dosdall told the school board this week that the district had best plan now for future education funding cuts. He said a budget review committee was recently established by administrators here, and among the agreed principles was that, ^Current operations will be examined to determine if any restructuring can be implemented to increase the .efficiency and effectiveness of programs and services." While the committee agreed that student services and employees are paramount considerations, they also were committed to operating within funding provided by the education ministry. With these principles in mind, Dosdall said, "There is no way we can keep the structure intact in future." To keep the district out of a deficit situation, some long range planning was needed. "I don't believe a short-term cut will work... we have to look at restraint... the long run. In the past every time we've seen a light at the end of the tunnel, it's a train." Dosdall also responded to last week's announcement from education minister Art Charbonneau of an overall 39 percent increase in funding and demands for reduced administration costs. Dosdall said the specifics of Charbonneau's block funding won't arrive until the end of February, but he criticized the tone of the minister's correspondence. "The minister doesn't understand he's taken local autonomy away, by telling (school districts) where to spend the money. It's a major diversion," as administration costs include more than principals and vicajfilj principals. "It's also clerical staff, noon supervision, data processing, payroll, accounting... when he was confronted with that fact he said he wasn't aware of that. That's amusing, or rather, scary." He said administrators, not teachers, are expected to provide noon supervision according to contracts, but if this is cut there could be situations as extreme as a child showing up at school with a handgun and no one there to handle it. "Who's going to deal with that'" he asked. Dosdall said that funding doesn't provide for salary increases, yet the same government recently "forced a 4.2 percent increase on Victoria district's teacher costs... and one percent on Maple Ridge CUPE... that's ludicrous." NBA franchise better than lottery in bush VICTORIA - The Liberal opposition caucus has unanimously agreed to support an NBA franchise in \&ncouver. "The Liberal Caucus is calling On Finance Minister Elizabeth Cull to direct the British Columbia Lottery Corporation to remove all references to the National Basketball Association and its operations from the Sports Action Lottery," said Liberal government services critic Ken Jones. The Liberal caucus maintains the provincial government will receive far more economic value from revenues generated by an NBA team in Vancouver, than the revenue the government would receive from the Sports Action Lottery. "The Harcourt government should be encouraging healthy economic growth in British Columbia," said Jones. "The NDP should immediately move to assist in the establishment of an NBA franchise in Vancouver. I certainly hope the Harcourt government does not follow the folly of their brethren in the Bob Rae government of Ontario." Three new faces to board VICTORIA - Agriculture Minister David Zirnhelt has confirmed the appointments of Garth Bean, Ellen Maclntyre and Ron Fontaine to the British Columbia Mushroom Marketing Board. Bean, who.resides in Abbotsford, has maintained an active involvement in agriculture for more than 25 years and assumes the role of chair. Maclntyre, a Sardis resident and co-owner of a food processing and marketing company, and Fontaine, a national labor relations professional from Richmond, will serve as members. All three appointments are for a one year term. The board has also been restructured to provide for the election of two grower members in addition to the three members appointed by government. Ted DeVfies and Jake Vanderpol were recently elected by growers to serve in this capacity. DeVries will serve a two-year term and Vanderpol one year. "Government has accepted the recommendations put forward by industry and the supervisory board for a strengthened and restructured board," said Zirnhelt. The British Columbia Mushroom Marketing Board oversees the general operation of the mushroom industry in B.C. The industry ranks second in Canada and 1992 sales approached $46- million in overall production. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. FEBRUARY 10. 1994 13 Wrongful dismissal?

Get Creative With Valentine's Day Gifts News USA (NU) - Are you stumped for Valentine's Day gift ideas? Your sweetheart's on a diet so you've nixed the 10-pound box of chocolates.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZIE STILL FARMING EH!

V1T 4W1 (BESIDE SAFEWAY) 1859-7115 Gamble's on "reform" MATSQUI - Ron Gamble concedes he's raised some hackles with his entry into the byelection race here, but he figures the B.C. Reform party has excellent odds in this area. The North Shore businessman has plastered the area with billboards for his fledgling party and has taken space at a former car dealership in Clearbrook where his staff works the phones for his cause. The local federal Reform constituency party is making it plain they have nothing to do with Gamble and the provincial party that shares the name, making the point clear with an advertisement in this week's Star disassociating themselves from any provincial party. Federal Reform leader Preston Manning has repeatedly said he doesn't want anything to do with the provincial party. Socreds are not comfortable either with.Gamble's party — for one, his campaign signs are virtually identical to the Socreds' signs, especially with the flag logo at the bottom. Several of the Matsqui Socred workers were also involved in the federal Reform campaign here. This doesn't bother Gamble a whit. Gamble is a former member of both parties ~ twenty years with B.C. Socreds and a founding director of the forerunner of the federal Reform party — and he says that while he still supports the federal Reformers, he has no use for the Socreds, revived under Grace McCarthy or not. He claims he has first dibs on the Reform name and consented to its use by the federal party — •What would they have called themselves otherwise?" he asked - - but concedes there's no love lost between him and Manning. "He's a very top-down sort of leader." He said he's spending $65,000 to $70,000 on his campaign to get the party established in B.C. in Matsqui and he has no candidates in line for the "vkncouver- Quilchena byelection. He adds that if he wins this race and the next general election, he'll consider moving to Matsqui. He acknowledges that he doesn't get much respect from, or even ink in, the media -- a Vancouver Sun columnist recently suggested Gamble could hold a party membership meeting in a phone booth ~ but he says the press are all biased and minions of a monopoly that has thrown its support in with big business, which he says are all behind Liberal leader Gordon Campbell. Gamble claims he's not soliciting or receiving major campaign donations — "My biggest contributor gave $500. I can't be bought for $500." -- and is financing most of it himself. He said the first order of business for an elected B.C. Reform government is to "enact with revisions, the Direct Legislation Act of 1919, which provided for Initiative and Referenda" and would include recall, fixed election dates, and free votes in the legislature. As is the trend these days, Gamble has published a Blue Book outlining party policy, which he sells for $2 a copy. His promises include reducing size and cost of government, preservation of health care and education, and declaration of all government employees as essential services. Marguerite Stack, a former Aldergrove resident now living in Oliver, was recently elevated from vice-president to interim president, after Gamble was elected party leader on September 7, 1993, by universal ballot. Stack is among the workers at the Matsqui campaign office, 33033 South Fraser Wry. Also in the Matsqui race is another disaffected former Socred, Kathleen Toth, who leads the Family Coalition party. Toth said the party was registered in 1991 because, "families instead of special interest groups should be .the cornerstone of government policies." Environmental partners get more school support LANGLEY - The Langley Environmental Partners Society will get more help from the school district in the coming years. The partnership includes Langley School District, Township of Langley, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Kwantlen College and Langley Field Naturalists Society. The township's environment officer, Pete Scales asked the school board to help by organizing classes to help in several projects underway in the district, and received positive response from trustees. One of the biggest projects undertaken is the Salmon River Watershed Management Partnership, which will have 1,200 volunteers involved by midsummer. Other projects include marking storm drains and streamside planting. One of the benefits for stu dents is the skills and experience gained in a growing environment industry. Scales said six major projects have been undertaken arid another twelve future projects include one by the basketball team from Aldergrove Secondary.

FEBRUARY 10. 1994 We're animals in this jungle 17 LANGLEY - It's a jungle out there, teaming with people who fall into four basic "animal" types. "This basic quadrant of personality and behavioral styles is not unlike how different parts of nature behave," says Kwantlen College personal development instructor Danni Burton. Business and human relationships also form the basis of several other courses offered by Burton, including: Assertive Management, and Breaking the Ice Without Falling In. Burton humorously uses animals as metaphors in her personal development course called "Elephants, Frogs, Butterflies & Turtles". The workshop is at the Kwantlen College Langley campus. It runs on Tuesday, February 15, 5:45 to 9:45 p.m. The cost is $64.20. "The purpose of this class is to give people an opportunity to recognize themselves and others in a way that will help them understand how to enhance their relationships, build rapport, and work more cooperatively," says Burton. Ideas on how to change communication styles as well as what motivates each personality type is addressed during the course. Says Burton, "When you know what's behind the behaviour you can empathize instead of bump heads with people."

Bruins take losing streak in stride ALDERGROVE - Wednesday, February 2, and the Valley Gravel Sales Atom A Bruins are on home ice to take on Surrey Surrey took the lead early in the game and were up by two when defenceman Steven Schulz lobbed the puck past the surprised Surrey goalie. Assist to Josh Macknee. In the second the Bruins put on the pressure but were just unable to get the lucky bounce and the puck refused to go in the net. Surrey on the other Hand didn't seem to have that problem and managed to score three more goals. The tide started to turn in the third period when Mike Haber scored an unassisted goal on the power play and less than a minute later Mike Roberts and Jacob Boake combined to bring the Bruins within two of Surrey. Unfortunately Surrey was to get one more goal before the end of the game while continuing to shut out the hard working Bruins. Final score Aldergrove 3, Surrey 6. Friday, February 4, found the Bruins travelling to Chilliwack to take on their A-l team. Chilliwack scored the only goal of the first but the Bruins tied the score early in the second. Goal to Matt Roberts. Assists to Marc Windle and Matt Keith. Late in the second Chilliwack took the lead again and then went ahead by two early in the third. Once again, Matt R. scored to close the gap on Chilliwack (assists to Steven and Marc) but the Bruins were unable to get the tying goal before the final horn, so the game ended with the score Aldergrove 2, Chilliwack 3- On Saturday, February 5 the Bruins were in South Surrey to play the Semiahmoo Snipers. The Bruins and the Snipers traded goals in the first period. The duo of Matt R. and Matt K. were responsible for Aldergrove's two goals in the first. Mike R. was the first to score in the second frame putting the puck in the net after giving the crowd a great display of his stick handling skills. Mike R. was also responsible for Aldergrove's fourth goal, assist to Josh M. Matt R. got his hat trick with just 44.5 seconds left in the second. Assist to Matt K. for a hat trick of sorts of his own. Semi managed just one goal in the third to edge out the Bruins by two. Final score Aldergrove 5, Semiahmoo 7 in a real see-saw battle. The Bruins play their final game of the regular season Wednesday, February 9, 7:45 pjn. versus South Delta at home and then head up to Kamloops for the weekend for two exhibition games there. MATSQUI - "Reckless" and "insane" was how former ■ Attorney General Russ Fraser described Liberal leader Gordon Campbell's proposed municipal income tax at a breakfast speech, Tuesday. "Gordon Campbell's suggestion that he would replace property tax with a system based on ability to pay is an intrusion into the personal lives of B.C. property owners," said Fraser. A former city of Vancouver parks board chairman, Fraser said the Campbell plan was intended not to protect hard- pressed taxpayers, but rather to "satisfy the ex-mayor's insatiable appetite for spending." "It is simply amazing that a politician with Gordon Campbell's record of year-after-year tax increases and spending hikes would now posture as the friend to taxpayers," said Fraser. "His suggestion that a new, expanded income tax should replace property tax - with local politicians peering into the earnings of private citizens - is reckless and insane." "Gordon Campbell doesn't realize that B.C. taxpayers want governments to spend smarter, not find new ways of wringing money from our pockets." Can you spell S-P-E-N-D? Gordon Campbell Can! Gordon Campbell knows spending. During the six years he was Mayor of Vancouver, Gordon Camp years ne was Mayor of Vancouver, Gordon Campbell spent taxpayers' dollars at twice the rate of inflation. City workers cost 59 percent more at the end of his term as Mayor than they did at the beginning — even though Vancouver's population had grown by just 9.5 percent. Small businesses were penalized with property taxes that in some cases tripled under Campbell. Single-year tax increases as high as 62 percent led merchants to lay off staff last June and start a tax revolt. The Financial Post, on August 4,1993, reported that Vancouver's tax hikes had made its prime office space the second highest taxed in North America — ahead of Chicago and New York. Importantly, Vancouver businesses had property taxes four times higher than competitors in Los Angeles, and 10 times higher than Seattle. Grace McCarthy The Leader We Need Now Compare Gordon Campbell's record to that of his predecessor, Mike Harcourt. Under the left-wing Harcourt, the real growth in the rate of City spending (on top of inflation) averaged 4.23 percertt per year. Under the 'moderate' Campbell, the comparable rate was 4.22 percent above inflation — a difference of 1/100 of a percent. Some moderate! Campbell now wants to follow Harcourt into the Legislature. And, as Harcourt did in the 1991 general election, Campbell promises to be a fiscal conservative — even though he's now a Liberal! Grace McCarthy has a proven record of balancing budgets. She has put forward a substantive platform to protecting taxpayers for Matsqui voters to examine during the by-election, and she has made a commitment to the future. Look at Grace McCarthy's record. Then look at that of Gordon Campbell and Mike Harcourt. On February 17, elect Grace McCarthy to keep an eye on the two ex-Vancouver Mayors. Elect Grace McCarthy as MLA for Matsqui.

FEBRUARY 10. 1994 DELEGATES SWAY TRUSTEES Willoughby school gets a second look DOWN IT CAME... All that's left of the former Shortreed home next to Speedie's Service is a pile of dirt, as development of the site began last week. Alder Grove Heritage Society members were seriously disappointed that there was not time allowed to have the building moved and preserved. -Kurt Langmann photo Demolition of homestead upsets LANGLEY - A large delegation of Willoughby residents has convinced the school board that every attempt should be made to preserve the 1932 vintage. Willoughby School in its present location, and preferably its present use. Alice Johnson, president of the Wiloughby Women's Institute, and Fred Pepin, president of Langley Heritage Society were among the crowd to make impassioned appeals to not dismantle or move the one-room school house to make way for an expansion of the school on 80 Avenue. Delegates pointed out that the school was initially built by the community itself and was the last remaining example of its kind in the province. Moving it next to the nearby heritage Willoughby Hall would destroy its character, and Pepin pointed out that it would be cheaper to bring the structure up to current standards than to fear it down. He said replacement cost would be $237,000, while changing plans for a connecting hallway would only cost $8,000 to $40,000, according to architects. Its demolition and an interim portable classroom would cost $16,000, he added. A member of the Cochrane pioneer family, Catherine Holm offered a $100 of her own to start the fund to keep it, and encouraged upgrading to allow its continued use. "We have a fiery passion for this edifice," she added. While trustees cautioned that they could not commit themselves to funding its preservation over what has already been budgeted for the school expansion, they agreed to allow more time for the community to get a proposal together. ALDERGROVE - Members of the Alder Grove Heritage committee were not happy when an old landmark disappeared last week. In a letter to council, spokesperson June Willson complained this week about the fact that nothing had been done to save arx Aldergrove heritage building from being torn down. The old frame building was known as the Robert Shortreed homestead on Fraser Highway near 264 Street. Willson's letter was referred by councilors to municipal staffers although it is too late for them to do anything about it. The heritage committee has been working on the relocation and restora- tion of a couple of old Aldergrove buildings for the past couple of years. The buildings date back to the turn of the century, but the Shortreed farmstead was even older than that.

The difference men make LANGLEY - Family Services and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Langley will be celebrating and recognizing the positive influence men have in raising healthy children and maintaining healthy families. Citizens of Langley are invited to attend this event and bring along the man that they wish to honor, Feb. 16, 7 to 9 = 30 p.m. at Brookswood Secondary Theatre, 20902 - 37A Avenue. The presentation 'frill include a speaker and a panel discussion. The host for the evening will be Rob Ross, a father, a Big Brother for 18 years and a teacher for 17 years. He will be joined by a panel of speakers made up of men who have made similar contributions to children in Langley. They will be sharing their experiences and what they see as the important contributions men have to give to children. The audience will be invited to participate with any observations or questions that they have. The keynote speaker will be Gordon Hogg, a father, former mayor of White Rock for 20 years and director of Willingdon Detention Centre for 13 years. Gordon will speak on the theme of the evening, "The Difference Men Make in the Lives of Children." There will also be entertain ment and refreshments to add to the celebration. In the discussion of the very important issues of wife assault, child sexual abuse and the nonpayment of maintenance monies, a man's role in these issues has a very negative connotation. Because of the complexity of these issues and the degree to which they are institutionalized in our social systems, it has required strong social action in order for change to happen. The fallout from this has been that the negative aspect has clouded the positive contributions that men make every hour and every day in children's lives. Both Langley Family Services and Big Brothers and Big Sisters see evidence ■every day of that positive contribution and would like to take the time to celebrate and recognize the efforts of men to make life better for children. This event is the kickoff event for Langley Family Services year long celebrations for 1994 and International \ear of the Family. In addition to this event there will be others, including March 6, International Women's Day Lunch; April, Volunteer Recognition; May, Healthy Families; and in November, Challenges to Families. Details of these other events will be announced as they are formalized. Philosopher addresses students i P LANGLEY - On Tuesday, January 18, as part of his WestSajii Canadian fopr^ Dr. William Lane Craig, well-known American philosopher, debater and author, visited Trinity Western University in Langley to share with students and faculty about "truth worth pursuing." Addressing approximately 800 students, staff and faculty, Dr. Craig spoke of the need to be involved in the intellectual arena and to pursue truth at all times. He stated that the current educational crisis is primarily due to the popular belief that truth is relative. "For many students, truth is therefore not worth pursuing^ said Dr. Craig. "The danger they have been taught to fear is not error, but intolerance," he continued. Dr, Craig concluded by challenging individuals to not be guilty of a relativistic attitude, but to cherish and pursue truth while still maintaining a tolerance for others. A former professor in philosophy of religion at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois and professor of religious studies at Westmont College in California, Dr. Craig is presently a visiting fellow at the Catholic University of Louvain's Higher Institute of Philosophy in Brussels, Belgium where he has taught for the last seven years. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including Christian Apologetics and No Easy Answers, and is actively in volved debating well known humanists including Dr. Henry Morgantaller, abortionist and past president of the Canadian Humanists Association, and Fred Edwards, president of the American Humanists Association. While on tour in Western Canada, Dr. Craig appeared on CKNW's Raif Mair radio program, and debated Ray Bradley on the topic |p "hell" at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby. This was Dr. Craig's first visit to Trinity Western, accepting the invitation from a former student of his, Dr. Paul Chamberlain, Trinity Western philosophy professor and Abbotsford School Board Trustee. Dr. Craig is also mentoring a Trinity Western student this year, junior and history major Scott Dolff from Regina, Saskatchewan. Because of his interest in apologetics, Dolff contacted Dr. Craig in Belgium, who accepted Dolff as his student for the 93/94 academic year. "I especially appreciate Dr. Craig because of his attempt to minister through his studies and not do philosophy for the sake of philosophy," Dolff comments. He plans on returning to Trinity Western this fall. Immanuel Lutheran Church jfT 3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove ^TT 856-4710 . ." Rev.

FEBRUARY 10. 1994 YOUR VOICE Guilty or not guilty? By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK What's your view of the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan scandal? Leah Stewart: I've been watching the news and you don't really get the contents of what's sneaked out, just the fact that it has. I really haven't heard very much about it at all. (Should she go to the games?) I don't know, that's a hard one, she's not really been proven guilty and I really believe in the innocent until proven guilty rule and everyone's been convicting her already. Dave Mallory: I think people should just mind their own business. It's a typical media thing, just blowing it all out of proportion, it's a lot of hype. Whether she is or isn't (innocent) it's none of the people's business, it's just because" they're in the spotlight and everything. If she's guilty, no (she shouldn't go to the Olympics.) Kadee Stewart, 11, and twin brother James: - We've discussed it in school and some people think she shouldn't go because she doesn't deserve it but others think she's not guilty, I don't think she should go. - She hasn't been proven guilty, well, she's been pretty much proven guilty because all the evidence points to her, pretty much, and I don't think she should be allowed to go. She's involved, even not telling the police that she knew it was going to happen is enough to stop her from going to the Olympics. Everybody at school has been saying no, she shouldn't go. Emil Rurka: She should go, the Olympics is based on her ability i&t her morals or whatever. She's not guilty yet, but as far as the Olympics, that's her skill and that's the thing that counts, as far as I'm concerned. Jim Helm, 18: She's guilty. The way they talk about her and what she is like, she smokes and all that kind of stuff and she seems to be the type that would have done something like that, she just doesn't seem to be the type that's quite Olympic material. Teacher union wants schools defunded m VICTORIA - B.C.'s powerful teachers union has called for the provincial government to strip the province's private schools of their $105-million in government funding. The BC Teachers Federation included the defunding call in its monthly bulletin on educational funding. The latest bulletin recommended the province abandon all funding for 313 independent schools and the 48,241 students attending them.. Failing that, the BCTF wanted the funding reduced by 30 percent. No justification was given for the piraposal Fred Herfst, executive director of the Federation of Independent School Associations, laughed off the bulletin. "They've been saying this for years. It shows the BCTF are dinosaurs stuck in the mud. And anti-choice dinosaurs at that, Herfst said. Are you an askable mother or father?

FEBRUARY 10. 1994 2t ABBOTSFORD - The library at the University of the Fraser Valley has been growing along with the rest of the institution, so much so that it will be moving to a brand new building in 1995- But the new Learning Centre, designed by James KM Cheng Architects, will be more than a traditional library. In addition to housing books, journals, and audio/video materials, it will also be home to writing and math centres, where students will go for help in those subjects, a multimedia lab, and an "electronic classroom" which will be used for teleconferences. "The whole concept of a learning centre is to provide 'one-stop shopping' for students," saidi UCFV Library director Betty Harris. "Eventually, our goal is to keep it open 18 hours a day, so that students can come in when the rest of the campus is closed and get help with writing or math, use the computers, study, or use the library resources. "The centre will be equipped with the latest technology, so that apart from the resources on the shelves, it will be possible to gain access to the whole world through electronic means," she added. "We hope to have trained staff available to help people learn how to use this technology" "The Learning Centre is a nice expression of the quantitative growth that UCFV is undergoing, but it's also much more," said UCFV president Peter Jones. "Once it opens its doors, it will be another step in our evolution toward recognizing that an increasing amount of learning LEARNING CENTRE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF THE FRASER VALLEY JAMES KM 0€NG AflCHTECTS NC ' takes place outside of the classroom. It will provide our students with the resources and tools to take greater control of their own learning." "A great deal of credit must go to all the people whose involvement has led to this magnificent new building," said UCFV board chair Brian Minter. "It's a people place, with a well-thought-out design, that not only looks impressive but will facilitate the learning methods of tomorrow. It is a very important addition to the Abbotsford campus." Construction for the two-storey plus basement, $10.8-million, 62,700 square foot building began earlier this year and will continue for approximately 14 months. Country West Construction of Abbotsford is the contractor for the project. Country West has considerable experience in institutional construction, having built the addition to the UCFV Trades Centre, as well as several schools. The new building will be located on the east side of the Abbotsford campus. The university college will be putting in a construction access road off Mackenzie Road, which Choose , , Next Generation }f leadership > and tbe i Government of vitish Columbia .

The construction site will be cordoned off with a chainlink fence on three sides, and a solid fence on the south side facing the new Childcare Centre. Planning is also continuing for more expansion at the Abbotsford campus. The next building slated for construction in Abbotsford is a $10-million, three-storey, 66,000 square feet classroom block, planned for the area south of Building A on the Abbotsford campus. When this building goes ahead it will house general classrooms, offices, and labs, and specific spaces for a number of UCFV programs.

FEBRUARY 10. ifflfr Credit union returns healthy dividend to its membership CLEARBROOK - Ben Voth, chair of the board of First Heritage Savings CreditfUnion has announced that $3,185,000 in dividends and deposit interest bonus will be returned directly to FHS members for the 1993 fiscal year. The 10% dividend is comprised of $1,907,300 for Class "A" membership equity shares, Class "B" investment equity shares and RRSP equity shares. A 5% deposit interest bonus of $1,260,000 will be paid out as well as a 4% dividend on Class "C non-equity shares. Voth said, "We are fortunate that our strong performance has allowed us to return over $11- million in dividends to our members since 1989. This year we saw record low interest rates which benefited our members who had loans and mortgages but penalized members with deposits. This was particularly hard on our senior members, many of whom rely on interest income for their day to day living. It was for this reason that the FHS board approved a deposit bonus of 5% on interest earned by members in recognition of their low rate of return during 1993."

A FRASER VALLEY FINANCIAL FAIR Learn how to better manage your money Saturday, February 12 9 am - 3 pm nm at Newlands Golf & Country Club 21025 ■ 48th Ave., Langley, B.C. * INFORMATIVE SEMINARS * EACH HOUR BY Great Pacific Management • Canada Trust Van City Savings • Brookswood Tax Serviaalp Regal Capital Planners • Investors Group * EXHIBITOR DISPLAYS BY * Investors Goup • Great Pacific Management Edelweiss Credit Union • Delta Credit Union Van City Savings • HongKong Bank of Canada Royal LePage • Regal Capital Planners Brookswood Tax Services • Canada Trust CIBC - Wood Gundy • The Money Tree Sponsored by CI Canada Trust Thinking like a customer 'Clouds of change'seen as 'hot air' by opposition candidate MATSQUI - Gordon Campbell failed to implement the "Clouds of Change" report and people living in the Fraser Valley are paying the price. That's the message from Lynn Fairall, new Democrat candidate in the Matsqui by-election. "Campbell blew it," Fairall said. "Instead of Clouds of Change we have clouds of C02." "Clouds of Change was a chance to develop new ways to live and work that would clean up the air and save farmland from developers," Fairall said. "The public was behind it, council was behind it, and Campbell turned his back on the whole thing," Fairall said. "He wasted a golden opportunity and we are paying for it." The Clouds of Change report was endorsed by Vancouver city council in June 1990. But instead of cleaner air, fewer cars and less energy waste, there are more cars on the road than ever, few of the reports recommendations were implemented, and the environmental manager hired to implement report recommendations quit after six months, said Fairall. "Gordon Campbell didn't care about the environment when he was mayor, why should his Liberal party do any better in Victoria?" Fairall said. New Democrat MLAs Dennis Streiffel (above) and Bill Hartley were among the well-wishers at Lynn Fairall's campaign office opening, last week in Matsqui. Streiffel donated $100 to Fairall's cause and gave her background on the government's accomplishments for use in her campaign. -Kurt Langmann photo Legal services don't come cheap MURRAYVILLE - Legal advice is costing the Langley township far too much money, says Coun. Muriel Arnason. Last year alone, she says, it cost local taxpayers more than $197,000 to obtain advice from solicitors hired on a contract fflM basis. Time has come, Arnason says, for Langley to hire a full-time lawyer. She says she will pursue this at the next council meeting. During the early 1980s, the township had a municipal solicitor on staff.

Farrell-Collins' office assistant, Lois Mor was also there working on de Jong's campaign, but she told The Star that she was doing this on her own time. "I usually bank my holidays for the Abbotsford Airshow," she said, "but Matsqui's the riding where I live, so I chose to spend some of my holidays working here." She added that other fill-in staff were called in to the Fort Langley- Aldergrove constituency office while she's away. De Jong's communication officer, Mark Rushton told The Star that the Saturday open house was a heartening experience, as some 500 visitors came in to meet the Liberal candidate. He said 96 canvassers went door-to-door that day, also, and the feedback from residents was "extremely positive." The event capped off a two- day community blitz with de Jong, Campbell and the Liberal caucus. The Liberal entourage met school students, the police chief, seniors, MSA Hospital administrators, and on Feb. 9 were to meet the Chamber of Commerce and municipal councilors. Socred forums MATSQUI - Socred leader Grace McCarthy hosts two more community forums next week, in her byelection campaign.

DELEGATE SAYS Tell federals how to MURRAYVILLE - "Let Langley be an economic model for Canada," a delegate told township councilors here this week. Aldergrove resident Ken Berg urged councilors to let the federal government know that ordinary Canadian citizens expect the new Liberal aclministration to get. the economy under control. Quoting from a report by Canada's auditor-general, Berg said that the politicians and the bureaucrats don't know what run the country they're doing or where they are taking the country. Coun. Trudi Campen said municipal government could bring resolutions forward to the Union of BC Municipalities and the Canadian Federation of Municipalities, but that would be the extent of their input. Mayor John Scholtens urged Berg to write to his members of parliament and the provincial legislature if he had any ideas as to how to improve Canada's abysmal economic situation. Welfare for criminals probed VICTORIA - The provincial government is investigating claims that more than 1,500 fugitives wanted for crimes outside the province are living in British Columbia, with most of them being paid welfare. The criminals are wanted on warrants which are not valid outside the jurisdiction were they were issued, so they cannot be arrested here, police say. Some of the criminals living here are wanted for such serious crimes as assault, kidnapping and rape. And about 90 percent of the fugitives are living on welfare, costing B.C. taxpayers $10- million a year,-according to Vancouver police constable Kim Rossmo. "As a taxpayer it's frustrating because you'd like to believe that your tax dollars are going to something else ... or that, if they are going to go to welfare, they go to people that really need it, hot young adult males who are fit and active in crime," Rossmo said. Seniors want their own facility LANGLEY - A seniors' housing cooperative has asked Langley township's approval to drill a well on municipal land on 244 Street. The seniors, who are setting up their own mobile homes park on property next to an old established trailer park, were forced to take action when that property recently was put on the open market as an industrial site. And although the new owners of the land apparendy intend to continue in business as a mobile homes park, the tenants say that the space rentals will go up to the point where?they will require more than 50 percent of the old age pensions. Many seniors cannot afford that, the organizers of the coop say. They hope that they will be able to find enough water underground to service the needs of their new park. "If there is no water, then we're shot," says spokesman Herb Andersen. ;>,';•"• -1-1- ■ : 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. FEBRUARY 10. 1994 REMEMBER THOSE SPECIAL PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE...
