^.-vMV-.1 -.itrv m& Killer strikes again as hunt intensifies ABBOTSFORD - The suspected killer of 16 year-old Tanya Smith, who has continually phoned police to remind them he is still on the loose, has struck again. A 19 year-old woman was walking between two apartment buildings in tbe 32600 block of Dahlstrom between 2:30 and 3 a.m, Monday, November 5, when she was attacked and raped by a lone male who matches the description of Smith's killer. She is currently in hospital. Later that day police released an edited version of the October 18 telephone calls the killer made to police, taunting them and promising more deaths.: By mid-aftcnioon police were taking 20 calls an hour from people who think diey recognize die voice of the killer. Police will not be releasing information from an October 31 phone call that came from the pay phone outside G-G's Sports bar on Sumas Way. A waitress inside the bar said a man had come in asking to use a pay phone. He refused an offer to use their phone and went'outside before she realized who he was. Police arrived on the scene within minutes, dusted the phone for finger prints and seized the receiver. The waitress said that the man no longer has a moustache, but nPEM winE!

Steve Burton, and Mel Kositsky lo a joint committee with Langley city to review the joint towing and storage contract proposal that has caused controversy. The closing date for the proposal is Nov. 8, and it is not known when the committee will be meeting to discuss the concerns, or how they will deal with the proposal retroactively as the township has not withdrawn the proposal call. Tami Quiring spoke to township council on behalf of three towing companies, Quiring, Aldergrove and Parte], requesting the proposal's withdrawal. She said Langley city has withdrawn its support, there's an uproar in Surrey city over a similar contract, and both the Motor Carrier Commission and ICBC have expressed concerns about aspects of the proposal wording. The Automotive Retailers' Association has taken a position against the proposal, and spokesman Bob Clarke has written a number of letters in which he called the "revenue sharing" request from local government a euphemism for "kickbacks." Quiring said ICBC follows a "fair and equitable work policy" and the benefit in the lowing contract of referring accident calls to the contract winner "is perceived as contracting out for ICBC, which ICBC does not do." She said the township demand for financial reports from the contract winner is also questionable, as this can only be demanded in a tender, and the township insists that it isn't a tender, but rather a proposal. Clover Towing has held the contract for the past seven years, and president Ib Moller also spoke to council Monday, in favour of allowing the. proposal call to proceed, as diere were benefits in having "Clover Towing administer the contract." He said having one "central" storage com-' pound would make it easier for officials to find a vehicle. The current township towing bylaw requires tow truck operators to give a business card with their name and business name and address to any person whose vehi cle is towed. Moller said, "The request is not in tender form. Bidders are at liberty to include or delete items or make an entirely different proposal. Two items in the call for proposals (free towing of government vehicles and revenue sharing of ICBC-paid or owner-paid towing services) are clearly not allowed — the Automotive Retailers' Association and Motor Carrier Commission are following the situation in Surrey and the dust hasn't settled yet -- so no one should do that! We have to abide or lose our license. But we should continue as each sees fit" Coun. Heather McMullan also endorsed the proposal call: "It's not a tender... I refuse to apologize for staff finding innovative ways of doing business, try new methods. Kickbacks are undercover, this isn't, it's a new innovative way of doing business." Coun. Muriel Arnason countered that when, "the municipality asks for revenue sharing, the awarding of the contract is not based on quality of service but on Please see page 2...

Abbotsford Police constable lilly Sawchuk said that up to 60 officers are working on the case including Abbotsford police, members of the Chilliwack and Vancouver RCMP, the Coordinated Law Enforcement Unit, Corrections Canada, and the National Parole Service. The composite drawing of the suspect released two weeks ago has generated about 17,000 calls to police including hundreds of reported sightings. However, Sawchuk did admit that they are far from solving the case, which is why they released the tapes. She stressed that the killer is a major threat to the community and people should not put themselves in compromising situations, especially at night The Aldergrove STAR Illegitimus non carborundum VOL37 N0.46 WEDNESDAY.

CityLink Bus Lines started operations Nov. 1 in Abbotsford and Chilliwack with four trips into Vancouver and four trips back in the afternoon. The same day, with great.fanfare, the NDP government launched the opening run of the commuter rail link between Mission and Vancouver. 'The disparity between the two operations could not be greater" said van Dongen. CityLink Bus Lines is a private enterprise run by a small businessman, who has laid his own capital on the line, whereas the West Coast Express is totally funded by the taxpayers. The actual capital cost of commuter rail service is expected to*1 be well in excess of the $136.4- million which had been approved and committed by the NDP government as of March 1995.". In addition, the government is pouring thousands of dollars into advertising the commuter rail line, which is timed to help the NDP witli their election prospects. It is part of the $10-mi 11 ion of advertising dollars in various ministries which was earmarked last June by the NDP for pre-election spending. -. livery ride Ol) commuter rail Will be subsidized by the taxpayers. The net cost to the taxpayer, based oh project ions for the first five mouths of operations, is calculated lo be at least $40 per round trip. Van Dongen said, "There is no question that there are too many cars on the highway; however, rather than exploring private sector user-pay solutions to the problem, the government has just dug deeper into taxpayer's pockets with this money losing re-election vent tire". "The jury is still out on fhe commuter rail operation," said vari'Dongen. "We really have no idea of the ultimate cost to the taxpayer of this NDP decision." Sign law goes to public airing LANGLEY - The township sign bylaw committee submitted its draft of a new sign control bylaw to council Monday evening. Committee chair Dale Ball said the wide range of interests represented in the committee had worked since last October to reach a consensus that would please the majority but council had the power to "pass all, part or none of it." Ball said the bylaw proposed sought to eliminate "uneven" enforcement while allowing communities such as Aldergrove and Fort Langley to have their own guidelines at variance with an overall bylaw. He also said municipal tickets for infractions would be "more efficient and effective" than the current system of sending letters on complaints and pursuing litigation. He observed that the policy of acting on complaints had made a poor impression on the public, citing the experience of a frustrated bylaw officer who reacted to a complaint against a readerboard on the roadside. The officer was forced to enforce the bylaw on the readerboard, but was unable to do anything about two other reader- boards on either side of it because there was no complaint against them, said Ball. There are many other grievances with the current sign bylaw. A public meeting will be called by the township to get input before the bylaw is adopted, and copies of the 40-page document are available at the municipal hall. Mayor John Scholtens said he hoped council would be able to pass it into law shortly, "more or less intact" trsnJVNB^&%7**t*in&a* PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C.

Coun. Steve Burton said it "was a shame about the language being used by the public and the city... it's inappropriate this late in the' day to be surprised, it's a shame diat (the city councillors) don't do their homework." McMullan added that city towing contracts in Coquidam and Maple Ridge "provide towing free of charge (to government)" but Moller pointed out that these contracts predate new motor carrier legislation which probably won't allow renewal under these terms. Quiring said her company has bid unsuccessfully for the towing contract for the past 17 years, "high bid, low bid, in partnership with other towing companies. If council is looking for new innova- ' live ways of doing business, how about fair and equitable treatment?" Amason said she believes the proposal "should be withdrawn" and that she tried to get on the review committee but "was not nominated. I hope they come to an amica'ble solution and wish them the best of'luck." It's a single's paradise LANOLEY - There are exactly 625 more women than men in Langley city and township, totalling 43,215 and 42,590, respectively. However, if one is looking for'prospective spouses, men have a statistically better chance in Langley city while, women are better off to look in the township. For one thing, there are 9,495 men and 10,270 women in the city, while the township has 33,095 men and 32,945 women. For anotiter, well over half of the city's residents have never been married, while only a little over a third of the township residents are single. Langley city's breakdown is: 4,185 singles, 8,015 marrieds, 1,320 widowed and 1,265 divorced. For the township: 11,630 singles, 31,650 marrieds, 2,115 widowed and 2,825 divorced. These are just'some of the figures recendy released by the Langley Chamber of Commerce, compiled from data from the 1986 and 1991 census, Langley city and township and GVRD governments. "The population is characterized by young families," said the 1995 statistical profile report. The township is predominantly a single family area, with single family dwellings comprising 78.8% of the housing stock by the end of 1991. However, multi-fam ily development has increased from 14.6% in 1986 to 21.3% in 1991'. The city is maturing with multi-family units replacing single family near the downtown core (57% versus 43%)." The township is comprised of 303 square kilometres, 76% of which is in the agricultural land reserve, while the city has a mere 10.2 sq. kms. and 3.8% is ALR land. Projected population in 1996 is a total of 98,900 (76,900 township, 22,000 city) and with the burgeoning growdi rate is expected to reach 114,820 by 2001 (90,420 township, 24,400 city). "Economically, Langley town* ship is one of the major agricultural production areas in greater Vancouver. At $118.4-million in Output annually, agricultural operations include dairy, poultry, mushrooms, berries, vegetable/- floriculture greenhouses, nursery stock and other specialty farms. The township also supports an active equestrian community, equestrian centres, breeding and training facilities, and a trail network.

Golf course still on hold ALDERGROVE - Third reading of Belair Golf Ltd's plans for a 157-acre 18-hole golf course at 72 Avenue and 256 Street was deferred by council-Monday to allow time to answer neighbours' questions about local groundwater and traffic. These issues have been the subject of several years of study by various government agencies and private consultants hired by tbe township. More parking at civic centre LANGLEY - The township ' will proceed with drawing up plans for larger and lit public parking at the Civic Centre, pending approval for inclusion in next year's budget Gravel parking with landscaping and fiVe light fixtures wduld cost about $145,553, according to staff estimates. Councillors generally agreed that parking is not currently sufficient for die many popular events held at the facility, and the lighting would deter groups of youths from congregating there and causing mischief. Learn to protect yourself ALDERGROVE - Personal safety issues have become a major public concern, especially with the recent slaying of an Abbotsford teenager by a man who's still at large. Local RCMP are working on this case alongside police officers in Abbotsford and throughout the lower mainland, and they also have accumulated a lot of knowledge in measures that everyone can take to protect themselves from violent assaults on the streets of the community. "There is concern on the street," said Langley RCMP staff sergeant Darryl Stone, "and we're conscious of litis and want to help people with a personal safety seminar. It's free of charge and die advice is applicable to persons of any age, youths to seniors. "Constable Sharon Crook has considerable experience with a' good program that she will present on Thursday, Nov. 16, 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Trinity Western University's Freedom Hall, at the south end of the campus on Glover Road. She will talk about a number of different things — coming home late at night, walking to your car, shopping in a different community and so on," said Stone.

TWU is at 7600 Glover Road; call 888-7511. One problem leading to another LANGLEY - Township council has deferred a decision on the closing of 250 Street between 21B and 20 Avenues, pending a report from the GVRD regarding alternative horse trail proposals in tbe-, area. Coun. Steve Burton said the closure would put an end to conflicts in the neighbourhood about its use by the public but coun. Mel Kositsky said be was "totally against solving one problem if it Creates anodier one. There's no reason for going overboard on it. leave it the way it is." Administrator Jim Godfrey said there is a dearth of consultants- available to study alternative trail proposals but "the GVRD may take the project on as early as next week."

School Trustees Association at which Art Charbonneau was the guest speaker, although Langley is not a member. Before Charbonneau spoke, those present at the meeting passed a motion that 'the Provin cial Council must express to the Minister that local communities must have meaningful opportunities for input prior to die government imposing changes that would affect the governance and operation of public schools in B.C.* Langley Chair Linda Moir, who attended the meeting, said Charbonneau spoke about the amalgamation of school districts. He said that the $450 million cut in transfer payments from the federal government had to be made up somewhere. He suggested some of the money would have to come from the K-12 system, and restructuring the deliverance of educational service would be one way to do that Charbonneau said that the process will not be lengthy and not everyone will be consulted, but if anyone on the outside is 'shooting arrows* (at the Ministry) then he will make the changes on his own. He also said that there will be a labour adjustment strategy for boards to deal with employee contracts, but would not specify what they are. Moir said that Charbonneau prefers to work with the BCSTA, so she is not sure if Langley will be consulted about the changes. Charbonneau also said that they can't fool the public and say services will be maintained, and that he will deal with the public. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 8.1996 - Councilors cite 'conflict', walk out LANGLEY - Three counci 1 lors excused themselves from voting on a office complex proposal in Murrayville, citing conflict of interest, but the rezoning of property at 22190 - 48 Avenue received unanimous endorsement from the remaining councillors and proceeds to public hearing. A numbered company owned by Campbell Burton McMullan, 413594 B.C. Ltd., has applied for rezoning of 1.45 acres from suburban residential zone SR-1 to community commercial zone C-2, Private pool considered Gordon 'Red' Gosling WALNUT GROVE - Township council will allocate about ' $25,000 for a consultant's study of possible private sector involvement in building a new indoor pool in northwest Langley. Coun. Muriel Arnason said council already set aside $6.1-million for an iee arena there and now that a* private company is building four rinks there, the money should be put into a pool instead. "People deserve it" Councillors generally agreed that a request for proposals would discover the possibilities available, and even if there were no private company interest expressed, the study would be useful in planning a public pool. Coun. Heather McMullan was the sole vote against Pioneer passes Hit-run and assault investigated ABBOTSFORD - Gordon "Red" Gosling passed away in his 80th year, Friday, Nov. 3 at MSA Hospital. Funeral services are to be held Wednesday, Nov. 8, 12:30 p.m. at Trinity United Church in Abbotsford.

ABBOTSFORD - Police are investigating a Hit & run and assault that happened just after 1:30 a.m, Friday, November 3. The incident started on the Mission Highway and ended at the intersection of Lethbridge and Old Clayburn Road.

Couns. Steve Button, Headier McMullan and Steve Ferguson cited conflict as their reason for departing the council chambers. Coun. Muriel Arnason asked the reason for conflict but mayor John Scholtens said that was a "personal" decision to be made by each party. Township staff said the proposal followed guidelines) of the Murrayville Civic Core Plan, buildings would cover 23 percent of the lot and 80 parking stalls were included. A landscape buffer would be planted between it and a neighbouring three-storey apartment complex, although there is no requirement to plant trees and such on a neighbour's property as was recently demanded of an Aldergrove office building under construction. In fairness to Burton, he along with coun. Trudi Campen Opposed the concept and precedent of requiring developers to improve neighbouring property last month but was outvoted by the majority. Coun. Mel Kositsky was absent from that meeting and decision, and the mayor only votes in event of a tie. Arnason, Campen and Kositsky supported 413594 B.C.

NOVEMBER.8. 3995 LETTERS Natives are proud citizens Editor, The Star, Sir, In response to Tbe Star letters to the editor, Sept. 29/95, and Ted Hansen's question "What in bell has gone wrong with our law and order system?" I would like to commend the RCMP's patience and the way they handled the volatile situations in British Columbia with tbe First Nations. The RCMP could have responded quickly to the matter, but the situation would have ended in a win/lose situation. Then things would get blown out of proportion. The RCMP will receive more respect from the people, when they can resolve situations peacefully rather than going into a situation with their guns drawn. The RCMP looked carefully at all angles and handled the situation very diplomatically. Then on October 4/95, Ted Hansen goes on, "They were given every opportunity to make something for themselves (I wish 1 had been given the same)". Ted should have been allowed to live under the Indian Act, where he would not have been allowed to borrow funds'from any banks or allowed the privilege to vote at any election. First Nations People are very proud of this country we live in. During the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War many of our First Nations men and women "volunteered" their services to protect Canada and the British Empire. First Nations people did not wait to be drafted or conscripted. After the war, First Nations war veterans were not allowed the same privileges as nonnatives, who were allowed to homestead Crown land and re-cstahlisinenl credit to start a new business or buy land. This may answer Ernie. duett's question, "Why could immigrants make it?". Ted Hansen denies that he is ignorant and bigoted but accuses others of being ignorant when he doesn't agree with them. Ted, you're false advertising. People such as Tony Eberts and organizations such as the RCMP, who look at both sides of the picture before making any conclusions, is what is needed in this country. More people should believe inhumanity and more people should be proud to say they are Canadian. SMOKEY E.J.

BUT t REALLY HAD W HEART SET ON ftMEIW&WH MORE BCD/ HA1RA NUHAfllLW NMMO ANSWER510 "BRUCE'.: Constitution is still our main problem Editor, The Star, Sir, Let us hope they set it right next time! The priority morale problem facing Canadians is indeed the Constitution. What is a Constitution? In simple terms, it is a document setting forth the gui de-linos for the operation of the country, the society, the company and the association. It is not set in stone, because as time advances, changes are inevitable, and changes can be effected in a prescribed manner. About fifteen years ago Cana da patriated its Constitution, and it became law. In my opinion, tbe wording of the preamble was inaccurate, as was much of the wording of the late, unlamented Charlottetown Accord. This lack of attention to historic facts has resulted in the present ruckus in Quebec, and is manifested in the on-going festering of relations with our Aboriginal citizens. The draughtcrs of tbe document, in high and mighty fashion, confirm the erroneous, by deferring to 'Two Founding Nations", Bureaucrats at it again Editor, The Star, Sir, As the fait session of the Federal Parliament resumes, and the Quebec referendum forces all of us to focus on what it means to be a Canadian, a fresh threat to the essential nature of Canadian citizenship looms on the not-too-distant horizon. This is the ill-conceived project by a few bureaucrats in the Ministry of Citizenship & Immigration, who are determined to Strip the Queen from the Oath taken by our new fellow Canadians. They propose to replace it with a "poetic" declaration asserting some vague loyally to the land and the Constitution. The.Monarchist League of Canada believes that the Crown is the capacious, neutral tent, under which all Canadians can unite, would deny our history, create legal problems in the present, and suggest an American-style republic in our future. We all need to be informed in order to speak to our MP's about this issue. Accordingly, the league has prepared a position paper, which contains a series of questions and answers about the importance of the Oath of Citizenship. Members of the public, teachers, community groups and all concerned for our nation's future arc invited to request one. or more copies of this paper at no cost by writing to the Monarchist League of Canada, PO Box 1057, Oakville, Ont. L6J 5E9. A stamped, self-addressed envelope would be appreciated but is not necessary. JOHN L. AIMERS, and that.the proposed new Oath Oakville, Ont. No way they would agree to anything Editor, The Star, Sir, We see headlines like referendum aftermath, waving of No supporters and all of the fancy speeches before and after the referendum by politicians, all of whom have one thing in mind: to gain points as a politician. I think it would be wise to look back to the days that Trudeau was trying, to write our Constitution. At that time I was confined to a chair with rheumatoid arthritis and had nothing better to do but watch the politicians play politics. There was not one provincial premier that was ready to compromise. Of the governments, there was B.C. Social Credit, Saskatchewan NDP, all the rest were conservatives with Quebec being separatists; there was no way they would agree to anything. I wrote to three MPs trying to get answers, I got 16 lbs. of paper, not one straight answer. Trudeau was trying to get a constitution made in Canada; he was not able to get any approval on anything that was on the table, until he threatened to write a constitution and take it to the people for approval by referendum. So many parts were watered down to make them ineffective, as is the case with the Bill of Rights. We all know how Quebec bypassed the Bill of Rights, when they passed the only-French sign law. We are condemned for voting against the Charlottetown Accord, precisely because we felt that it offered Quebec too much and ' made the test of us second class citizens. Quebecers themselves voted against it, because they felt they were not getting enough. Lucicn Bouchard and Jacques Parizeau should both have been charged with treason (the betrayal of one's country; an attempt to overthrow government of one's country; treachery; betrayal of faith). There is no way that the rest of Canada will ever satisfy the separatists in Quebec. Jean Chretien talks about distinct society; what is distinct? Distinct, by the dictionary, is separate; different; carefully thought out; readily understood; as a lucid explanation; characterized by mental soundness. Why should it be so important? We must have the courage to stand up for a federation that's built on the principle of equality for all Canadians, and enhanced status for all provinces as the only goal of a distinct constitution. We must resist special status for any one province or race of people as a prescription for the constitution. Let us not forget we will never ever be able to satisfy the separatists; that will have to be done by the people in Quebec. TED HANSEN, Aldergrove - . . French and English. The terminology is grossly wrong. This country, territory, land or region was not "found". Certainly, it was unknown to Europeans prior to Eric the Red, Jacques Carticr or Christopher Columbus, John Cabot, or other adventurers. Who are recorded in our school history books. It had been 'found' and occupied for many thousands of years of unrecorded history. It was not known as "Canada" or anything' else, that I am aware of, by its original citizens. They had a lifestyle, a culture, and a number of languages, and a form of community living, even though it was not formally documented. They were were not lost and did not need to be 'found' or discovered. In actual fact, the settlers from France, were, in essence, boat people, and they didn't have to wage warfare in order to form settlements in the new land. The original tenants tolerated the settlements, to a large extent Then, in 1759, there was an armed invasion, when General James Wolfe climbed the rocky ramparts and did battle on the 'Plains of Abraham, and, being victorious, was able to lay claim to unknown acres of Aboriginal freehold territory. Wolfe and his countrymen, did not "find" the new country, anymore than did Sam Champlain. Somehow, the myth has persisted, that the French and the British "founded" the new land, and that myth was written into our guiding-documents. Thus, we have a problem of territory management with the original owners, with which we are now dealing, though somewhat reluctantly. We also find ourselves in a fraction- ing dispute between the first "boat-people" (the French-Canadians) and the "invaders" (the British). I suggest the place to start is - the preamble to the revised Constitution, by soft-pedalling the 'Two Founding Nations" principle, and express gratitude to the First Canadians for allowing both the "Boat-People" and the "Invaders" to take up residence in this great land, and get on with the work of managing the territory and restoring the environment to a sustainable level, where we can all live in harmony, and leave it healthy for our progeny. And I would appreciate not having this suggestion adopted by those frustrated conservatives, tbe so-called Re-Form party (the baby-bathwater people)! JOE CHESNEY Fort Langley Learn from past sins, Mr. Mike By LORNE ECKERSLEY CRESTON - As the Nanaimo Commonwealth Society investigation reaches scandalous proportions, British Columbians are once again left to wonder whether it's something in the water, or whether people really do get the government they deserve. From what we can make of its complex and involved machinations, the society is a clear-cut case of political and economical expediency taking precedence over ethical conduct Predictably ridiculous is the outrage expressed over the scandal by the other parties. Even former premier Bill VanderZalm has waded into the fray - a pot knows a black kettle when it sees one. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell has expressed dismay, hearkening back to the good old days when the NDP held ethics as their guiding light And Reform Party leader Jack Weisgerber? Well, would it be a scandal without an opposition leader calling for resignations? The breaking of the latest investigation almost certainly means that there will be no election this fall. Unfortunately for the government, the tuning also means thai spring will be at least as. uncomfortable, and its chances of reelection are not going to be enhanced by what unfolds, even if Premier Harcourt is not found to be personally connected with the scam. ■ On the other hand, we might do well as voters to try to lengthen our notoriously short memories in order to recall that no government goes a term without facing public outrage, scandal and resignations. With each new governing party, we blindly assume that we have solved all our problems, that this is the government which will operate flawlessly and create the Utopia we all yearn for. We forget that our elected representatives bring with them all the frailties and faults that we have ourselves, and then we are somehow surprised to learn the truth. The same observation can be made for political parties themselves. We seem to be constantly disappointed that governments often don't seem to be reflective of party policy or philosophy. And we completely ignore that the bureaucracy, the actual mechanics of government, is far more difficult to change than most of us can possibly imagine. So where does that leave the beleaguered voter, who wants nothing more than to cast a ballot every four years and to forget about the whole thing? Well, that's a lazy approach to citizenship and it's one that demands silence and cooperation through the government's term. Active participation in issues, attendance at public functions and communication with representatives are all prerequisite to responsible government And until we all assume our responsibilities as individual citizens, we shouldn't be surprised when the system as a whole doesn't work as we would Uke it.

The first was assisted by Simon Whitlock and Carl Aamann, and the second by Simon Whitlock and Mike Roberts. Simon Whitlock scored with t he ma n advantage on a pass from Mark Cassibo to open the final period scoring.

The Rockers had the same record as the Cougars: not losing a game. Both teams have similar playing styles; lots of attacking and good defense. Santino Andread opened the 'scoring and also netted the second for the Cougars. Brian McFariane hammered a goal mouth scramble into the back of the net for the third. Before the half was over, the Rockers scored on an offside as Aldergrove's boys played the trap perfectly. »'«) BANTAM A / BRUINS SPONSORED BY: PAC CAN DUTY FREE NOVEMBER 1 Aldergrove Bruins 4 • Burnaby 2 PERIOD 1 8:48 ald S Kodiuk (M.Shipley) BBBkat 7:48 ald pp S.KoHiuk (M Shipley, K.Grant) 0:02 sun C.Campbell (R.Pianl) 1:07 ald R Jones (B Adams) 834 bur PP A.Guindon (D.Udovicic, S.Lamke) 8:49 ald P.Daley (K.Grttnt, M.Shipley) OOALTOCERS aldekoron* RGates buuuby J.Petrak PENALTY UK ALDERGROVE 6-12 BURNABY4-8 NOVEMBERS Aldergrove Bruins 0 • Wast Vancouver 6 pcRicoi 13:40 wv ppJ.Hay(R.Biimingham, J.Uoyd) 14:57 wv pp J.Hay (R.Birmingham) BBBaUt 1:04 wv J.Hayu/A 14:24 wv D.Skinner (S.Dauphinee, T.Orchard) EEa&JLj 10:31 wv J.Uoyd (J.Hay, B.Campbell) 12:36 wv T.Orchard (K.Cozens) VtMUMMtt ALOEHOHOVE GTUCkBT WEST VANCOUVER B.Lowther PENALTY MM, ALDERGROVE 44* W.VANCOUVER 6-12 BRUMS TERMG RECORD TO NOV ft 4W-1T-3L First come—first served ALDERGROVE MALL For further information call Diane Bailey: 856-1360 The second half saw the Rockers come out strong, as they scored early and kept the pressure on.

Dogs bite back ALDERGROVE - Mad Dogs Sports rebounded from a loss last week, to beat Bellingham 9-6, Nov. 4, in novice action at Alder-, grove Arena. It was a highly entertaining game, played before an enthusiastic crowd. Both teams had several good scoring chances with lots of up and down the ice action. Jordan Kohler led the Dogs with 4 goals and 1 assist. Markns Poole added a pair, with singles going to Michael Poole, Cal Ben- net, and Alex Devries. Matt Ferguson played a strong game in goal.

Camp fun for local J youngster ALDERGROVE - With fait well underway, 14-year-old Michelle Corrigall of Aldergrove carries fond memories of a summer camp unlike those of most children, because she attended the ^British Columbia Lung Association's 1995 asthma camp near Mission. The 3 1/2-day camp allowed her and 59 other asthmatic youngsters to enjoy activities that otherwise might not be possible because of their medical conditions — canoeing, hiking, swimming, dodge ball and crafts. The only such residential camp in B.C., it gave Corrigall and the other campers daily education on managing their asthma and a unique opportunity to meet other children with the same problems. The campers received individual attention, with 24-hour monitoring by doctors and other health professionals. Special diets helped avoid the effects of food allergies that could trigger asthma attacks. "This is more than a summer adventure. It's a real lesson for these children in how very much they can accomplish despite their asthma," says Aldergrove-area director Margaret Gervan. "I'm so proud of the Lung Association's - asthma camp." Funded mainly by donations to fundraisers like the annual Christmas Seal Campaign, the asthma camp also received support Astra Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingclhcim, Sunrise Medical/DeV- UBiss, the CKNW Orphans' Fund and The Vancouver Sun Children's Fund. A voluntary health agency with nearly 130,000 supporters province-wide, the B.C. Lung Association funds medical research, conducts educational, programs and coordinates patient support activities. With less than one per cent of its budget coming from government, the association's primary source of funding consists of donations from .individual British Columbians. t9 SMttfS 19 Full Colour Professional Quality Portraits Package offer: 1-8x10*. 2-5x7's*, 16 Wallet Size (2x1*) ■Approximate Measurements.

NOVEMBER 8, 1996 u..,™.^ S£ f Deadline nears for nominations By JIM SUTHERLd\ND ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Spartans Atom football team finished regular season play last Sunday with a close 10-8 decision over Coquitlam. A seven in a row win streak places the Spartans second overall in the VMFL Metro League, and sets up a semi final showdown next week in Cloverdale. A Matt Panniter touchdown, convert by Greg Dahl, and a safety sack by Nicolaus Knudscn rounded out the scoring Tor the Spartans, who led by a slim 2-0 margin at the half. An outstanding defensive effort by the Spartans held the normally high scoring Coquidam team to a single touchdown late in the game. Special mention goes to lineman Kyle Brett, who pounded the Coquidam backfield all day, and to safety Keith Sweeten who came up mth a crucial pass interception. Should the Spartans win this coming Sunday, they will be playing the following weekend at B.C. Place Stadium in the provincial finals. Lions finish season with decisive win LANOLEY - The Township Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking nominations for the 1995 Eric Flowerdew Volunteer of the Year award. This prestigious award recognizes a volunteer's outstanding contribution in the promotion of Active Living lifestyles in our community. Active Living initiatives enhance oiir residents* quality of life through creative, cultural, physical or social pursuits; and enhance Langley's community spirit. The commission, in collaboration with the Flowerdew family, makes its selection based on tbe following criteria: sensitivity to LANGLEY - Minor Football game reports for the Nov. 5 weekend. The Lions finished the regular season with a decisive 34 to 12 win over the Delta Canadian Rams. Three majors were scored by Jeff van Unen, and two were scored by Spenser Deol'. Derek Hoschka was successful on 2 converts, and the whole offensive line was in great form for the day. Contributions by Mitchell Kellog, Chad van Unen and Brent Walker were key to the Lions game. The defense really shone with outstanding play as a unit with special contributions by Reed Forrester, Joel Glanfield and Tyler ' Sieb. Needless to say the coaches and parents are very proud of these young men. The Lions will now advance to the flag semi final game against the fourth place Cloverdale Cubs. In another exciting game the Outlaws won because -they played like a team both offensively and defensively against a very well prepared and coached White Rock team. The Outlaws literally out the first point on the board to mark the score at 1-0. This was followed by several runs by Blake Beguish to set up a quarterback sneak by Brian Bath for the touchdown. The major was then converted by Jason Ciok for the additional 2 points. The rest of the first half was a defensive struggle in the pouring rain with Jonathan Crowle, Jason Ciok, Dan Malone aqd Curtis Stratuliak making key tackles which were only possible with the pressure Kurt Ledwez, Jonathan Bright, Blake Beguish . and Rob Cloutier put on the ball carriers. Near the end of the first half Brian Bath made a diving interception to stop White Rocks momentum on a drive. The second half saw a very tough defensive struggle in worsening weather. As White Rock was mounting one of their last drives, Curtis Stratuliak intercepted a pass and preserved a 9 to 6 victory to advance the Outlaws in the play- i offs to the semi final, round next week. The Mavericks were giant slayers in the first round of VMFL playoffs. In their 10th straight win the Mavericks defeated the Chilliwack Giants 14 toO. Despite the rain and the cold, the Mavericks offense logged a total of 209 yards (161 rushing and 48 passing). Not expecting a passing game in the rain, the Giants were caught off guard by quarterback Kyle Cawdell (who managed to rush for his first TD of the season), connecting with Scott Thiessen twice for a total of 28 yards and once to WilLJRariey for 20 yards. The running attack was shared by Greg Blair (42 yards and 1 TD). Jason Kenny (52 yards), David Hepner (37 yards) and Johnny Hepner (5 yards). It was defense though that kept the Mavericks in the game, with a record of no points against in six of ten season games. The line was impressive. The MVP of the game was Alex Woodward who used his outstanding speed, determination and heads up play to recover three on side kicks allowing the defense to tie up the Giants offensive game and hold them to only 36 yards. The coaching staff wish to thank the entire Mavericks team for a terrific effort as well as all the family members who came out to cheer tbe team on. The Langley Cowboys wound up the year with another defensive nail-biter, as the Coquitlam Cougars defeated the Langley Cowboys 1-0 within tbe last seconds of the game. Special stars of the game were Tanner Mikesh, Drew Jamicson, Kyle Longmuir, Laird Forrester and Mike Drew. The Langley Cowboys worked hard, both dcftnaivoly and offfu- sively throughout the year, having only given up 34 points all season. A great season was enjoyed by all players - every game was so close! Coach Dave Gifford congratulates each and every member on tfaeir great efforts throughout i the season. The Langley Posse finished fifth in a twelve team league and met the Cloverdale Leopards in quarter final playoffs. The Posse was still hurting with four players still off with injuries, but even though it was a 10 all tie at half time, Langley's major was a result of a brilliant catch by Ben Ross on a pass from Ryan Jones. Bryce Craig also contributed a 25 yard field goal. Ryan Jones had double duty again playing both linebacker and running back. From the 10 all tie at the half Langley was unable to move the ball, as several running backs were taken out with injuries. The defense held well in a very tough game with the final result Langley 10 - Cloverdale 23. The Posse will await next year for another try at the finals. After an impressive finish to the'regular season, the Bantam Mustangs lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Surrey Tigers 31-0. The Surrey Association, who fields only one Bantam team, outnumbered the Mustangs with a roster of 36 players against the Mustangs 18. The Langley Association fields two Bantam teams so as to allow more players to participate. Injuries took their toll early in the game with the Mustangs losing several key players by the end of the first quarter. With a full effort to the end, the Mustangs showed the character that they have developed over this season. This is the first time in several years that the Mustangs have made the playoffs, and look forward to greater things next year. the variety of ages, abilities, and special needs of Langley residents; reflects strong leadership and team building principles; fosters partnerships and cooperative efforts; promotes traditional and non-traditional recreation activities; creates tbe potential for long term benefit to the community; and broadens the awareness of ; leisure opportunities.

This tilt was up the #1 Hwy in the old Chilliwack Coliseum to face the Chiefs (Atom version). As the Chilliwack team opened the scoring 34 seconds into the game on a weak shot, the Bruins looked lost. However the first frame ended with Aldergrove up 2-1 on goals by Richard Pearce and Todd Hagen with assists to Lewis Bennett and Michael Kitti- rath. The second period opened wiih Chilliwack getting the jump again, scoring, just 55 seconds in with Aldergrove thinking offence and leaving Clint Pahlke to fend for himself in net. Through the period Clint found himself facing numerous breakaways and too many 2 on l's, but handled them all very well, only giving up two more on the period. The Aldergrove defenceman really struggled in this period, and with great sayea by the goaltender, the Bniins came out of the period up 5-4. The local squad knew they needed to turn it up a couple of notches if they were to leave the Cora Capital with two points. The tine of Todd Hagen, Josh Hall and Michael Kittirath showed some character in this game combining for 4 points in the first two periods, and they weren't done yet. They combined for 5 more points in the third period including two' goals in 26 seconds to put the icing on the cake and lead their team to an 8-5 win. extending their record to 4-2-1 in the last 7 games.

The majority of the play in this period was in the Totems end, as the Bruins stuck with the game plan and forced the opposition to cough up the puck as well as beating them to the loose pucks. Beginning the final frame up 4-2, and starting to show some of the effects of the second game in as many days, many felt the Bruins might be lucky to hold on to the lead and sit on the blue line preventing goals. However this did not happen as Aldergrove schowcel Komc character aiul vr9lU after more by potting two more goals off the stick of Kris Armstrong to finish with a 6-3 win.

In the second half the Bullets passed well for 2 more goals. The Regents fought back with several shots just missing the mark.

Cole Bayford was challenged with several tough shots and kept the Regents in the game. A Regent rush and pass from Brian Dawson led to a goal by Jnrek Szymczak. The boys played hard, but time ran out as they were pressing for the tieing goal. Coach Praven Sorensen was pleased with their effort and skills demonstrated.

Bandits strike again By ELAINE HOWARTH ALDERGROVE - The Bandits U-13 Bronze soccer team, sponsored by Inter-Urban Delivery, was out in full force again last weekend, continuing their scoring rampage, mis time against Port Coquidam Team A. Brad Masse put the Bandits on the scoreboard widiin the first minute of play, and by the end of the first half the Bandits were leading by an impressive 5-0 with goals scored by Greg Morrison, Cassidy Martin, Curtis Kehler and Kenny Howarth. The Bandits picked up where they left off during second half play with Kenny Howarth hitting for his second of the day, followed by Franklin Taylor, Chad Hupe and Ritchie Lang. Port Coquidam made their mark during the second half, coming back with 2 goals. Final score: Bandits 9; PoCo 2. On that happy note, the Bandits packed their cleats and headed south to complete the second half of their B.C./Washington exchange.

Keys on short end ALDERGROVE - Gold Key United; playing away to North Shore United at Kinsmen Park in North Vancouver on Sunday, Nov. 5, came away on the short end of a 3-2 score. Playing with much determination against a strong North Shore team, they opened the scoring with just one minute to go before the half on a goal that Shelley Gimbel scored, finishing off a terrific build-up in attack that saw several of her teammates involved. The second half began as the first one had finished, with both teams looking for an opening. It was parry and thrust until the North Shore team scored two quick goals at the 12 and 16 minute mark to go one up. But in spite of Gold Key losing their lead, they were not about to concede the game. They stepped up their efforts, creating- several chances. With 20 minutes to go again on one of their forays, they got the ball to Shelley Gimbel, who scored her second goal. Good clear chances were missed by the forwards on the Gold Key team that would have furnished them with a commanding lead, but, as is often the case, they came back hauntingly, as the North Shore team scored the winner in injury time. Coach John Deacon commented "We played really well. Good enough to win, but you need to capitalize on good chances* We didn't and it cost us the game." Next game at home on Sunday, Nov. 12 against UBC. Ii :■ j, R-EFLECTTIOrNj ] '4 PEACE i^ggiL ~.

Later in tbe week there was the murder of the prime minister of Israel and just on the weekend the break-in at Sussex Drive putting Chretien and his wife's, lives in danger. Years ago when most of us were young, we didn't have access to news so promptly, and by the time we heard of it, it was old news. As we hear everywhere it's a changing world, and because of that wc know of these events minutes after they happen. There's been stress and sadness among our seniors as well this week. At the General meeting. three deaths were honored by a minute's silence. Oertie Agar, Stella Samec and Lisa Nordine. Gertie and Stella I knew well through Thrift Shop days and Choral Group. Lisa I didn't know so well. The OAP wish to extend their sympathy to the families in ihe loss of their loved ones. Paul Samec was always a great help around the OAP hall as long as his health allowed, and too until Stella needed his care. To Paid the OAPO extends its' sympathy, our thoughts are with you. There was a good crowd at the general meeting last Friday. Two people from the Royal Bank were there giving some advice to the 'seniors as to investments, power of attorney and a brief mention of wills. The lady speaker will go to senior's homes to advise them pri- vately. Tickets for the Christmas dinner were on sale at the meet- Petition referred to Victoria study ALDERGROVE - Seniors' Network spokesman William Jackson delivered a package of petitions to township council, Monday, calling for left nun signals at the intersection of Fraser Highway and 264 Street.

Both highways are under provincial jurisdiction, and council voted to "ask the ministry of highways to do an analysis of the situation."'

Pat will be spending most of her time in the store meeting and serving the public, while her silent partner will be doing most of the buying. The previously empty space has been converted into a brightly lit, welcoming place of business, where the customer is welcome to drop in and browse around, and, although New-2-You has not officially opened the doors, ever since Pat started to set up in there, her biggest problem has been to keep stock on (he floor.

NOVEMBER 8,1896 11 Theatre sets a new standard Happy 137m, British coiumwa! By KURT LANGMANN VANCOUVER - The opening night of tbe Ford Centre for the Performing Arts was one of those perfect events, and if something did go wrong backstage no one out front was aware of it. The dedication concert with Brent Carver set a standard that's sure to follow later this month when Showboat opens — the place was fuH of happy people, the design and decor is outstanding, the acoustics are excellent, all the seats are plush and wide with superb views... I could go on and on. I still adore the Orpheum and QE Theatre, but this is an architectural marvel sandwiched mid- block on Homer between Robson and Georgia, across from the stunning new Vancouver Public Library, also designed by Moshe Safdie. Those in Langley who want a new theatre would do well to have a good look at this beautiful facility. Carver is originally a Cranbrook native, now living in Ontario when he's not on the road with international musical and concert tours, and was tbe perfect choice for the dedication ceremony. He's talented as both singer and actor (1993 Tony Award winner for best performance by a leading actor in a musical, Kiss" of the Spider Woman) and is at ease singing just about anything you might imagine. His show, backed by a pianist and string quartet, covered all the bases: melodies by Jacques Brel were especially moving with Carver's gentle touch, as was a new tune from a musical penned by Canada's Leslie Arden. I didn't catch the name of Ardcn's musical, but it was one of those ballads that puts a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes — it's obviously the signature tune from what is sure to be a hit musical. He also did monologues from Shakespeare's Richard III, Cyrano de Bergerac and Spidcrwoman, balanced with amusing anecdotes of hi s life and segues that set up a variety of songs: old pop and doowop, Kurt Weill, Charles Aznavour, Ann Aborigines were the first astronomers with system By ADRIAN BERRY The Daily Telegraph LONDON - Astronomy is the oldest science, but its origin as an ordered body of knowledge has been unknown until now. It now appears that the change in human perception of the cosmos from chaos to something comprehensible occurred tens of thousands of years before a contributor to the Book of Judges recorded, with portentous ignorance, that "the stars in their courses fought against Siscra." (As if the stars cared in the slightest about Sisera.) An article in the latest issue of Interdisciplinary Science Review shows that the first known formal astronomers were among the Australian aborigines who lived as early as 40,000 years ago. The aborigines did not all develop a common system to understand the sky. Rather, each Auditions Pond SURREY - litde Theatre hosts auditions for On Golden Pond on Nov. 19-20 and 26-27, all at 7*30 p.m. Needed are two women over 35 years, three men over 35 years and a boy aged 12 to 14.

The appearance of particular stars was used to predict the seasons, as a guide to the management of crops, and even to terrify people by appointing various stars as "moral guardians" that would punish criminals and sinners. There was nothing superficial about the aborigines' star-gazing. "Pattern was mole important than brightness, for the aborigines often identified a small cluster of relatively obscure stars while ignoring more conspicuous single ones," says the article's author. Prof. Roslynn Haynes of the University of New South Wales. Mortifee, Gillcs Vigneault, Richard Ouzounian and many more. It's no wonder he's "the toast of Broadway and London's West End." Garth Drabinsky, chair of Li vent (owners of the Ford Centre and Toronto's Pantages Theatre) and producer extraordinaire, also gave a moving address. Just days after the Quebec referendum, Drabinsky asked why it took a crisis for true patriot love of this country to shine, and also observed that in this time of shrinking public funding for the arts it was time to be innovative in creating new opportuni lies for the aits. This has been done in the Ford Centre ~ Ford Motors ponied up hard cash to have their name and logo on the building, and while the mortgage is guaranteed by tbe provincial government in partnership with Mortgage One and Vancouver city, it will be the creative marketing of Livent to sell die seats every night that will pay back the investment The business sense and experience in making worthwhile theatre that Drabinsky brings to the Ford Centre is a welcome addition to our west coast. Total cost of the 1,847 seat theatre is $24.5-million. It's the first major theatre built here since the QE Theatre opened in 1959, although the Orpheum and QE Theatre have 2,400 to 2,700 seats, respectively. However, the Ford Centre offers considerably better views than the others, even from the back of the balcony. Preparations begin immediately to set up the sets and sound system for Showboat, which previews Nov. 28 and officially opens Dec. 3. Stars are George Grizzard, Cloris Leachman, Teri Hansen, Mark McVey, Valarie Pcttiford and Dan Tnllis Jr. Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster outlets as- well as the Showboat box office, or call 280-2222. FORT LANGLEY - The historic trading fort, where British Columbia was proclaimed in 1858, will be celebrating the anniversary on Sunday, November 19.

For an appointment, call Betty McClurg or Dorothy McKim at 534-7921. Matthew Baillie Begbie as the first Chief Justice. In the spring of 1858, the arrival of over 30,000 eager prospectors to the Fraser River threatened the stability of the region. The Royal Engineers were assigned tbe task of maintaining law and order. A large group of the recent arrivals began to promote the idea of annexation to the United States. As there was no legal governing authority on the mainland, James Douglas, Governor of Vancouver Island, petitioned the imperial government in London for colonial status. On August 2, 1858, the Act creating the colony of British Columbia was passed by Parliament. Following the arrival of Baillie as the incumbent chief jus- lice on November 15, the official inauguration of the colony took place four days later in the Big House at Fort Langley. The Fort Langley National Historic Site is at 23433 Mavis Street, and the celebration begins at 1:30 pm. Admission is free; call 888-4424 for information.

New weapon in war on drinking drivers VANCOUVER - The govwa- ment and police have unveiled DataMaster C, the latest, most advanced weapon in the police arsenal in the war against drinking driven. The high-tech, computer-controlled instrument uses infrared energy to analyze the Mood alcohol of suspected drinking drivers. Police described it as simple to operate and virtually, foolproof, eliminating 10 manual pie-steps necessary with the currently used machine. The test results can also be downloaded into a computer database and the records used to monitor performance, thereby heightening its reliability in court cases. The DataMaster C will supplement the Borkenstein Breathalyzer, which has been in service with police agencies in the province since 1957. ICBC has purchased units for nine of the municipal police forces participating in the enhanced Counter Attack program, and Vancouver Police Department has bought three units for its own use. The enhanced CounterAttack program ends on Dec. 7. Since it began, police have stopped more than 700,000 vehicles and have spoken to 323,000 drivers, charging 258 with impaired driving, 40 With refusing an alcohol test, and imposing a 24-hour roadside prohibition on 3,014 others. ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I hate to start this way, so many people do, but what the heck. My husband is driving me crazy. We have been married for 25 years, and over the years his hair has, to be kind, gone funny. There is not much of it left, but what he has around the edges is still quite full. Over the years he has been letting tbe sides grow long, and he has been combing that hair over tbe top of his head. Well, the part on that side is getting lower and lower. Pretty soon it will be halfway down his ear. This is the worst part:' After he has combed it up ana over the top of his head, he sprays it with my hair spray, so it will stay in place. Last Sunday we went, as usual, to church. It was very windy, and I ran over to the door, with my husband at my heels, and headed down the aisle to our seats. As we entered and sat down, I heard a lot of titters run through the congregation. I couldn't see anything funny when I looked around, but then, as I returned to face forward, my husbands hair caught my eye. I couldn't believe what I saw - his hair was standing up along the side of his head, he was totally bald on top, and he looked like a roof shingle was jammed against him. I whispered to him to lay it fiat. He spent the whole service with his hand on top of his head. I can't let this happen again, but what can I do? Signed: Mrs. Hairless Wannabe. Dear Mrs. Hairless, That is exactly what you have to become. Get your husband to a barber for a decent haircut If he won't go, get in touch with Mrs. Bobbitt and ask her for advice. But instead of a knife, take some scissors to bed and give him a trim while he is sleeping. It won't hurt, and will probably help your image, especially at church Dear Anna belle, I work in an office in dear- brook. There are 15 of us in the office, induding the boss (manager) and the woman who is the office manager. Anything we need in the way of stationery, ink cartridges, paper for the computer printers, etc., we have to go to her. We heard through the office grapevine the other day that she had told the boss that we were all stealing supplies from the office. Sure enough, just last week we all got a manager's memo on our desks asking us to cease and desist stealing supplies. Several of us, men and women, had lunch that day to discuss this memo. We all agreed that we were not guilty of this offense and now are wondering what to do about it I am all for going to his office and telling him that I, for one, am innocent The others don't want to rock the boat and have decided to stay away. They are worried about their jobs, and I can't say I blame them. The office manager is a horrible woman and no one there likes her. Should I talk to the boss or talk to her first? I am not going to take these accusations sitting down. Signed: Mad as Hell. Dear Mad, Of course you must see your boss. Give him the lowdown on what goes on in the office. Do it quietly and with no malice. Most bosses don't keep up with office politics and he may appreciate another's input. Also let him know how hurt you are at being branded a thief, but let your colleagues speak for themselves. Good luck. ■•Did you hear about dose tree political analysts from Quebec, who went out on a limb?

NOVEMBER 8, 1995 13 U.S.-Canada co-operation on watershed protection LANGLEY - Township council was asked to back away from joining a sweeping regional ban on smoking in public places such as bars and gaming rooms, Monday. The operator of the Hog Rock Cafe & Lounge in the township's Civic Centre curiing rink, Elaine Spacey wrote to say a motion to make her business "an example" would "unfairly set it at a disadvantage." She said the business has smoke-free areas, a smoke removal system and new ceiling fans'that "are well-utilized." A letter from the 628-member Langley Cutting Club president, Jim Houghton backed Spacey's request for delay until "all of the clubs in the province are affected." Langley Bingo Palace owner- operator Jeff Wolrigc and president of the 50 charity groups there, Stephanie Regan asked council to "work with us" to allow them to upgrade their air indoor air quality with new technology rather than a smoking ban. Wolrigc said their customers tend to be smokers and he feared they would simply travel a few. miles south to the U.S. Native reservation bingo halls where there is no talk of a smoking ban. This would deprive local charities of about $2-million in their share of gaming receipts each year. A weekend poll of 793 customers found that 552 would travel to the U.S. bingo halls if a smoking ban was introduced here, and 709 said they would prefer improved ventilation as a solution to health concerns. Wolrigc added that 80 percent of the 50 employees are smokers, and other recent efforts to clean air there have meant "business has never been belteif*' ■ Couns. Muriel Arnason and Steve Ferguson said their concern Was public health and promotion of healthy lifestyles. Ferguson added that they're also concerned about vehicle emissions, to which Wolrigc responded that government didn't ban cars but try to clean the air with programs such as Air Care. He said they have spent money on air purification and would investigate investment in equipment such as that Used at American casinos, and also had a second floor that they could set aside for non-smokers. In response to coun. Trudi UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of the FRASER VALLEY Campcn's concern about children, Wolrigc said he'd rather see legislation banning minors from attending bingo halls. Aside from a monthly "family day" at their hall, he said staff and customers don't want children on the premises.

A watershed protection and enhancement planning process is being initiated in the Bertrand Creek watershed, which is tributary to the Nooksack River. The headwaters of this stream are near Aldergrove, and it flows downstream into the U.S. near Lynden. The large salmon runs in this stream system have been depleted during the last few decades due to a variety of causes, ranging from logging and rapid urbanization in the headwaters and extensive agriculture activities in the lower watershed. On Thursday, November 9, all watershed residents are invited to gather at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Center, 26770A-29 Ave, to participate in developing a citizen-based watershed protection and enhancement plan.

The bride is employed by Kapiolani Women's and Children's Hospital and the groom is with a financial advisory firm. Adopt-A-Stream Foundation will be facilitating the event, which is designed to establish long term watershed protection and enhancement goals. The Adopt-A-Strcam Foundation will host a second planning meeting on Wednesday, November 29 at the Lynden Community Center, 401 Grover, Lynden. Participants of the second meeting Will design an action plan to achieve the goals established at the first meeting. The Adopt-A-Stream Foundation will then summarize the results of the two meetings. The resulting document will be shaped into a formal document that the planning participants will present to the governments, which make land use decisions in the watershed: Langley district and Aldergrove, and Whatcom County and the city of Lynden. In addition, the plan will be presented to the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, some of the other resource management agencies which deal with habitat and harvest management. This international watershed planning process is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Said AASF director Tom Murdoch, "We had the good fortune to conduct a Strcamkccpcr Field Training Workshop on Bertrand Creek near Aldergrove in September. Half the audience was Canadian, and half American. Everybody wanted to work together to restore the creek's dwindling salmon runs and protect the endangered Salish Sucker. Getting the other watershed residents together to prepare a citizens based watershed protection and enhancement plan seemed like the next logical step. The end product will become a model watershed protection." Gutopk-fi ^ rhe new monthly payment option from ICBC Are you buying short-term policies? Let Autoplan 12 save you money.

NOVEMBER 8,1995 Members of Fraser Valley Buddhist Temple assembled for a group photo after the commemoration ceremony, Saturday afternoon. -Kurt Langmann photo Buddhists mark 40 years here "Let 'er buck" rodeo a hit By KURT LANGMANN BRADNER - The Fraser Valley Buddhist Temple marked its' 40th anniversary with more than 100 in attendance on Saturday afternoon. The frame construction hall, like many community halls and older churches in this area, - was built by volunteers -- in this case, members of the Japanese- Canadian community in the valley. Those who came Saturday were from the Aldergrove and Bradner .area, as well as guests from Vancouver to Hope. Bishop Yoshihide Matsuh- ayashi, based at the Richmond offices of the Buddhist Churches of Canada, was a special guest. He expressed his "highest admiration to the ministers, leaders and members who dedicated themselves to establishing the church forty years ago and to uphold the propagation of the teaching of the Nembtitsu, despite many difficulties and hardships. As you reflect upon your memories of years gone by, may each one of you rededicate yourselves to the Buddha-Dha mi a and carry on a life of the Ncmbutsu in the future. May your Sangha continue to grow under the Compassionate Heart of Amida Buddha." Rev. Orai Fujikawa, who ministers to the congregation here. told The Star that the ceremony — in Japanese and English — included silent meditation, chanting of San Butsu Ge and incense burning with prayer by each member. Those who spoke included I liroshi Miyagi, Dr. Bob Akune, and Joe Tateyama. Tbe congregation then gathered for a commemorative photo and dinner, followed later that evening by a cod- cert at Bradner Hall.'' Among those in attendance were brothers Toshi and Min Mukaida, of Aldergrove and Hope, respectively. Both of the elderly men told The Star that while they had also been brought up in a United Church background and had some "Skepticism* about any religion, they had come back to the Buddhist Church often because of the friendships and traditions. Min said his research of various doctrines or theologies it," said Min, who is as likely to quote Mark Twain as he is the Scriptures. "Buddhists believe that all are not created equal, but that all should be treated equally," said Min. That is an ideal we could all strive for.

For those of us that, know and remember Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lawn; he was the first administrator at Jackman Manor in 1982 and served several years until retirement Mr. and Mrs. Lawn are happily retired in Saskatchewan, where they had previously lived for several years. The air quality I am sure is superior to ours in the Fraser Valley. There is a major construction expansion in progress at Jackman Manor. There will be an additional 23 more residents, making a total of 98 when completion is reached. With progress comes changes, so look for the changes when you pass by Jackman Manor or more closely when you patronize the bazaar on Nov. 25. The citizens of Aldergrove and surrounding communities are used to changes and will come together to contribute in making the Manor a pleasant addition to the community. commemorating, and may be hung on the tree or kept There is no charge, but donation boxes will be there.

NOVEMBER 8, 1995 The burnt out remains of the car gutted by fire when vandals set off a bomb inside it. The old car, being used for parts, is in the back of a property owned by a man who restores vintage cars. The parts destroyed in the explosion are irreplaceable. -Monlque Galazka photo Vandals infuriate car buff By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - A local collector of antique and restored cars is becoming irate about the continual vandalism and theft happening on his property. In the latest incident last Sunday afternoon, some young people were seen fleeing the. scene after a propane tank bomb was detonated inside an old car being used for parts. Damage was minimal and no one was injured, but the owner is worried about how brazen the youths have become, that they would do this in broad daylight while a car club meeting was happening just inside the building. "Those young people, they don't care about°other people's property, and they don't care about the antique cars and irreplaceable parts they are destroying," he said. "It just saddens inc." Members of the car club took pictures of the youths fleeing the scene and a police dog, who was brought to the scene, led police to a residence in the subdivision behind the property. No arrests were made. In other events, youths have broken into all three residences and the restoration shed on the lot, smashed car windows, sprayed graffiti on the walls, and stole broccoli from the field. "I have lived here for 87 years," said the owner, "And I remember a time when l never had to lock my door. People respected other people's property" He lias now installed industrial dead holts on the restoration shed doors. Aldergrove's RCMP community police officer Al Wakelin said he has a good idea who is responsible for these incidents, hut stressed the difficulty of making an arrest without substantial, proof. ' "liven if they have pictures of youths running'from the scene, it doesn't necessarily mean that they did it," he said. "If the police dog goes toa residence, that is a good indication that someone from the crime scene went to that house, but it doesn't prove anything, and that's tbe key. Getting enough proof to make an arrest." Remnants of the propane tank used by teens to make the bomb that was set off in an old 'parts' car last Sunday afternoon. The owner of the car, who works restoring antique cars, was inside hosting a car club meeting when the bomb went off. -Monlque Galazka photo 'Baron' goes down in flames, new pub to rise like a Phoenix By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - The Red Baron von Richthofcn restaurant at the Abbotsford Airport has closed after 19 years of operation. Citing increased expenses and decreasing profits, owners Doug Young and Len Gosscn came to council to seek their endorsement to open a neighbourhood pub on the site. They said that another restaurant would face the same troubles, but a pub with 'aviation' decor would attract customers to the site. City staff told council that the actual licensing for the property is out of the hands of council, because the location is federal land, and liquor licenses are under .provincial control, bat did say that the municipal zoning is inappropriate. Councillors Simon Gibson and Ron Sweeney were opposed to supporting the business in principle. Gibson said that council is under no obligation to create alternate arrangements for struggling businesses, and questioned serving of alcoholic beverages at the airport and the idea of having people drive in and out of the area on a narrow road. He called it 'a recipe for disaster.' Other councillors suggested that people drive to pubs all tbe time, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they will all be drunk driving. Mayor George Fergusson asked Young who will be managing the facility and was told it would be managed by the same people in charge of the Abbots ford Myers Club. Young also said that the airport manager would have input into the design and operation of the pub.

The organization will include Regional Resource Groups, consisting of volunteers, who will be. making contact with disability, groups and interested individuals around the province. The groups will facilitate communication on issues, policies and 'legislation, and focus on three main issues: transportation; supports for community living; and .the removal of barriers to education, training and employment. Resource Groups will also address other issues that may be brought up by people in the community. They will not advocate any one particular cause, since such functions are already handled by Other organizations. Other elements of the strategy include having the Ministry of Skills, Training and Labour in charge of the office, which will act as a resource for those involved in the strategy. The office will give responsibility to specific people and provide a single channel of communication between all government ministries.

NOVEMBER 8,1995 23 Partners urge 'rise to the challenge' ALDERGROVE - In late 1993 and early 1994, the Township Parks and Recreation Services Division identified a need to do , some remedial work in Williams "Park at the Coghlan Creek, due to severe bank erosion and habitat Chief scout's family furious at TV showJi LONDON - The family of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scout movement, are threatening legal action over a British television film that claims to expose his "confused/sexuality and latent sadisfti." Publicity for the film, to be screened by Channel 4 this month, alleges that behind Lord Baden-Powell's public image of a "fun-loving old soldier, lay a complex and troubled personality." The documentary, called The Boy-Man, claims that Baden- Powell suffered from "arrested development" and flirted with the Hitler Jngend movement. His "fears and obsessions" were revealed through private diaries, letters and interviews with his sole surviving daughter., It describes his enjoyment of watching executions and his love of "pig sticking". People tell how visitors were obliged to remove lipstick and naif varnish before' entering the family home. The film is being made by Antelope Productions for British Channel 4. The present Lord Baden-Powell, vice chairman of the Scout Association, claimed that he gave an interview under the impression that the film would be a wide- ranging tribute to his grandfather's'achievements. '1 was given no reason to think this film was anything other than a profile of my grandfather's life," he said. 'To suggest that he was a sadist or a homosexual is absolute madness. 1 will have to contact solicitors with a view to serving an injunction." A spokesman for the Scout Association said the group was horrified, because it had given the film makers free access to its archives. "We're appalled at what's going out," he said. "There seems to be a fashion to denigrate outstanding figures in history and we're really upset for the family who seem to be getting caught tip*' in it. "From Channel 4's publicity, the program appears to dismiss the tremendous legacy that Baden-Powell left. Anyone, whose idea has 25 million subscribers throughout the world, must have got something right." The spokesman added that he was in no position to assess Baden- Powell's sex life but was not convinced of its relevance. "You have to look at these people against the background of the times they lived," he said. "What Baden-Powell did for young people was a remarkable piece of work. We'd like a preview of this film." General, later Lord Baden- Powell, was major-general of the British forces besieged for 217 days at Mafeking during the South African Boer War at the turn of the century. He left the military to establish the first Scout camp in 1907 and published Scouting for Boys in 1908. degradation. The area of .concern had in the past and continues to be one of the most desi rablc public use areas along the waterways in Williams Park. In consultation with a number of other agencies a partnership process and strategy were developed, which would solve the stream bank'erosion, increase fish habitat and bio-diversity, and provide broader funding base in which to complete a larger scope project than simply bank protection. Parks engaged tbe services of the Township Engineering - Division to provide an engineering, overview to which Parks Design and Development staff could build on in an no-enhancement manner. An intergovernmental agency regulatory process was followed, and 'With partners (Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada Salmonid Enhancement Division, Ministry of Environment B.C. and Langley Environmental Partners Society) set off in September of 1994 to rebuild a section of the Coghlan Creek. Combining the latest techniques and expertise brought together by the DFO staff, LEPS and Parks personnel, the bank protection methods went beyond a si tuple engineering type work to a complex introduction of biodiversity. The banks were stabilized with large rounded river rocks and angular rip-rap, and then overlaid with;fine aggregates and soil. At various locations salvaged cedar logs with root masses intact were woven into the bank and situated, so that they provided energy buffers and riffles in the creek. A variety of rock sizes were used in the stream to slow down the energy of the creek and thereby reduce its erosion potential. To complete the project, native plant materials were incorporated into the bank work, so that the vegetative cover or riparian zone was re-established. This in-strcam complexing and bank habitat rehabilitation would have the future benefit of reducing summer water temperatures as well as providing refuge cover for the immature fish and other aquatic life so. necessary to the health of a waterway. It was only through the cooperation and partnership that was developed, that this project became possible, and that workers were able to do so much more than simply armouring the banks with rip-rap. It was the combination of individual budgets, which in themselves could only provide limited solutions to the habitat degradation on the Coghlan, partnership, expertise and co-operation, which made it possible to provide a broader scope project, which in the long run will bring much greater benefit to the citizens of Langley. In applying for the Elaine Burke Award, which was set up to recognize Community Achievement in Active Living and Environmental Citizenship, the Paries department felt that it had accomplished this mandate, and that the work of the Langley Township ': partnership should receive due recognition, and that the community should take pride in these efforts. Winning an Elaine Burke award (five awards were established for each province - Langley received two, one for the Coghlan Creek project and another for Bertrand Creek Enhancement) is simply one recognition, from a larger community, of the Township's community achievements. LANGLEY - The Langley Partners are asking you to get involved in your community's alcohol and drug prevention efforts by joining them at "Rise to the Challenge", a free workshop on how citizens and community groups can address priorities for alcohol and drug prevention in Langley, on Saturday, November 25, from 9 am to 1 pm at HD Stafford Secondary School.
