I— — ■NTS OUTLINE THEIR VISION FOR FUTURE Family farms finished in Langley By KURT LANGMANN LANOLEY - Family farming in the township is as dead as the dodo bird and only agri-business on an industrial scale in industrial parks has "some merit." Margaret Ormston was the only Aldergrove resident to speak at the public hearing called by the township over its proposed "temporary experimental research and demonstration composting site permit bylaw" on Monday evening, and she called the preparation of mushroom growing medium "an industrial procedure, comparable to making chemical fertilizers." The location for this site, yet to be determined according to council and staff, "will become pennanent and large, and should be located in an industrial zone at least two miles away from homes," said Ormston. She observed that distance is how far the smell from The Answer composting plant at 8 Avenue and LeFeuvre Road travels, "as the stench has defied all the best efforts" of its operators to contain and mitigate it. "Farming is a tax-cheap way of making money; the land's cheap, taxes are low," she said. "Agribusiness views fields as a waste of land. Most animals spend all their lives in barns, never seeing the green fields." Residential homeowners provide two-thirds of property tax revenues, compared to a small fraction from fanners who qualify for fann exemption, and the residents "can't be expected to put up" with the "obnoxious" smells and the tax burden. "All levels of government have failed to recognize the changing face of fanning. Council has to take responsibility — all its setbacks for barns are inadequate aesthetically," said Ormston. "Apply grandfathering rights to current sites and refuse all others," until such time council draws up new restrictive bylaws. Eleven members of the Coalition of Concerned Citizens also spoke passionately for better than an hour against pennitting on-site composting at the two new T&T farms mushroom barns on 232 Street Harold Swift said they are now "450-strong and growing" and share a "concern for the environment." The litany of allegations against the farmers and provincial agriculture and environment ministries included deceit, duplicity, intransigence, manipulation. fraud, misrepresentation and a few other things. For some reason, the recipients of these charges decided not to attend the hearing. Gordon Brogan said the township should "arrange a compost co-op for all growers" someplace distant from their homes, and because ministry spokespersons Bev Lockcn and Wayne Wickens Local country western singer and songwriter, Rick Tippe rehearses with this year's Timmy" representative, 10-year old Aaron Broverman, for the annual Timmy's Christmas Telethon, airing throughout the province on CBC Television, December 9 and 10.

Pledges can be made by calling the Telethon Hotline: 669-1995. Burgeoning growth to find home in Willowbrook area LANGLEY - Continuing development growth of three percent a year will best be served by nominating Willowbrook and . Willoughby as the next designated urban growth area, said the unanimous decision of the township's growth management commission delivered to council Monday. Harry Moes, one of the commissioners appointed 16 months ago, said it was "in the best interests of all" to develop "one area at a time," as opposed to the arguments of Brookswood and Fernridge residents who wanted their area to be jointly developed. Moes cited environmental, transportation, financial impact and "jobs close to home" as factors in favour of the Willowbrook and Willoughby areas north of Langley city. Walnut Grove is expected to be fully developed in the next three years, although the pace of development has slowed substantially everywhere in the past year. Although the 200 Street/Highway 1 interchange is a commuter's worst nightmare,' Moes said the north side had "better connections to employment and shopping" and there was a general trend to making "commuting undesirable" anyway. Development of the north side would also reduce the financial impact to the township of providing services by $12-mil- lion. Moes asked council to study the weighty documents "in their entirety before publicly reacting." Coun. Heather McMullan pushed for a quick decision on the recommendations, but coun. Mel Kositsky noted that another commission will deliver the final draft of the financial plan next Monday and should be considered in tandem with each other. Townships barred from negotiations? LANGLEY - Township mayor John Scholtens said the township is not welcome at First Nations treaty negotiations and it's time to question whether it's worth going. Municipalities were given the right to attend the meetings as observers only, in a memorandum issued by the province more than a year ago. The actual negotiations are between representatives from the First Nations and the provincial and federal governments. "They (First Nations) object to us being part of the negotiating table — Squamish and Delta were denied entry. Either we're part of the process or not, but there's no use going if we're going to be barred too (now that issues affecting Langley are coming to the fore). It's unfortunate." FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE have said that composting would not be offensive and that residents are over-reacting, "they should locate their homes nearby" to ensure it lives it up the promises. That got laughter and applause from the packed room. Gwen Lee, a resident here since 1953, said that because T&T propose a "different recipe, and a small quantity may not have much odour" if composting is allowed on the farm they "should post a large performance bond which they would have to pay only if they foul up." Wendy Mcllvride said their efforts to "seek a win-win solution have been stonewalled" and asked mayor John Scholtens to stick to his promise of "no composting Please see page 14...

Canada Mink Breeders Association president Chris Engh, with the support of local politicians and the B.C. Federation of Agriculture, announced the reward Friday at the community centre. While most of the liberated mink have been recovered, the Dargatz farm in Chilliwack and the Rippin farm in Aldergrove lost considerable money in the damages caused by release of about 6,000 mink in total, on Oct. 24 and Nov. 14, respectively. Anodier mink farm near Olympia, Wash., lost several hundred mink in a similar attack shortly after Rippin's loss. Information on the attacks can be called to RCMP, CrimeStoppers or the FBI. "As amply demonstrated by this vandalism, absolutely no consideration was given to the health, safety or welfare of the animals turned out of the security of tiieir nesting boxes and cages," said Engh. "These activities are nothing less than an attempt to intimidate all livestock producers into agreeing with the philosophies of a small segment of society." Similar strongly worded statements were issued by MP Randy White, MLAs Lynn Stephens, Please see page 22... 'Sex victim' recants story ABBOTSFORD - The victim of a sexual assault, which was reported to have occurred on Nov. 6, has now recanted her story. The alleged victim, a 19 year old female, has stated to police that she was not attacked on a walkway off Dahlstrom Avenue, and that she was not sexually assaulted in the manner in which she originally reported. This matter remains under investigation by the Abbotsford Police Department. 'This now confirms absolutely that this suhject was not another victim of the person who attacked Misty Cockerill and. Tanya Smith," said spokesperson, const. Elly Sawchuk. Citizens boo council as gravel pit plans unfold By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - A delegation of concerned citizens living on Sumas Mountain booed and cheered as city council debated whether to allow Westcoast Aggregates of Aldergrove to operated a rock, sand and gravel operation on Ward Road, before settling for the idea of creating a ' plan' for the mountain. The proposal before the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, which has jurisdiction over mining operations, is to create by blasting, and remove 50,000 cubic metres of rock, gravel and sand from a 30.45 hectare site in two phases over a 25 year period. Surrounding residents are concerned about the proposal because there are already at least three gravel mining operations in the area. They are worried about the impact on groundwater conditions, interruptions to well water supplies, increased truck traffic on the rural roads, situation-control,, dust, and noise from the crusher and screening plant.

The other two incidents involved the bombing of an old car on November 5, and the vandalism and burning of an old school bus last Saturday, Novem ber 25. Police had knowledge of the suspects after the car bombing but insufficient evidence to make an arrest until the bus burning incident. The suspects were arrested about two hours after the incident Aldergrove Community Police officer Al Wakelin credited the community which 'really came through' with the information police needed to make the arrest. "I think it's because people starting to not be afraid of reporting what they know to police, and that has helped us a lot," he said. Don't Sell Your Home Alone palk to Ken!

Supreme Court decision regarding the IRGO Golf sign in Aldergrove. Administrator Jim Godfrey told The Star that the judge "ordered (Karl Fischer) to remove it, or apply for a permit variance within 14 days. If he fails to apply, or remove it he will be in contempt of court "The judge also awarded us special costs (for legatees)," said Godfrey, who added that an application from Fischer had not been received as of Nov. 27. The court- ordered deadline is Dec. 1. The Star had attempted to get the township's side of the story on Dec. 20 and 21, but clerk Rod Edwards, and couns. Mel Kositsky, Heather McMullan and Steve Ferguson were unaware of the Dec. 10 court decision. At Kosit- sky's request, Godfrey issued a statement on Dec. 27.

The fact that we have avoided it will lead most to breathe a sigh of relief and get on to other things, glad to have escaped the necessity to make fundamental changes to Canada. To the extent, we do this, we fool ourselves. First of all, the vote implied that a clear majority of Francophones, and a near majority of the population of our second biggest province, don't want to remain in Canada as it is. Secondly, the significant vote for the yes option implies continuance of support for the Block Quebecois and the Parti Quebecois. In turn, this implies a continuation of the trips to the dentist about which Jacques Parizeau talked when he launched the campaign. There is a further implication of the foregoing, as the Fraser Institute pointed out last year. That is, we are very likely to encounter the Irish effect: the presence in the national Parliament of a distaff political party systematically throwing sand into the gears of government. The Bloc Quebecois is a publicly supported and officially recognized political saboteur dedicated to the destruction of Canada. The Bloc must be dealt with one way or the other. The solution to the Irish problem, of course, was to relent and grant Ireland home rule. I assume we don't want that to happen in Canada. It may be that population growth - or rather the lack of it - amongst the separatists will erode the population base of the Bloc, as Mr. Bouchard himself noted in the campaign. However, the increase in support since the 1980 referendum suggests that is a vain hope. The fact is that the trend is in the Bloc's favor. If we cannot rely on the natural effect of population growth and the forces of history to preserve Canada, we can systematically erode the power base of the separatist movement by recognizing that they have a legitimate criticism. Instead of denying it, we can recognize that we have got a problem in Canada, and that is the overarching reach of the federal government attempting to control the activities of the provinces in areas where, either naturally or constitutionally, the federal government has no place. During the referendum campaign, the Prime Minister, faced with the momentum of the yes side, agreed that there would have to be some changes made in the distribution of powers in Canada. As he said it, almost no one heard the echoes from a few days previous of his Health Minister ordering the province of Alberta to shut down private medical clinics: either close them down or lose "federal" financial support she said. This is the manifestation of a government sensitively responding to the aspirations of the provinces? Of course, this contrast between what the Prime Minister 'ofrerOTto'Q^&iftrS and'what mY*' health minister is actually doing to the other provinces is not accidental. The federal government docs not want to relinquish power. In this sense, the long term choice we may face is, do we want Canada or do we want Ottawa. Fortunately, Canada has economics on its side. The federal budget deficit and the burgeoning interest payments on the national debt are forcing Ottawa to get out of die spending areas which are provincial jurisdiction. The same fiscal pressures are leading to cuts in other programs. The result will be an Ottawa which is restricted to the cheque writing programs for die old, the unemployed and of course our many creditors. While the role of the federal government is going to be cut by necessity, we can do much better than simply chopping to keep ahead of die falling revenues. We could actually plan a decentralization and devolution process that would leave us both better off fiscally and better pre-, pared to erode the support base for separatism. Such a plan is spelled out in a recent Fraser Institute book. Thirty Million Musketeers: One Canada for All Canadians, written by Cordon Gibson. Lets hope the Premiers and the Prime Minister have the good sense to follow it and prevent a no vote from having been the worst possible outcome of the referendum. (Dr. Michael Walker is executive director of the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver-based privately funded think-tank.) Editor, The Star, Sir, To be premier of British Columbia demands an understanding of the province, the job and the responsibilities. A person seeking the office of premier must be able to demonstrate, above all, ability to be clear on policy and the ability to represent, fairly, the needs of all British Columbians. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell' s recent announcement regarding his, and not his party's official position, in that he might reject the not yet signed Nisga'a agreement, should again clearly identify a person who does not possess real understanding of the job of premier of British Columbia. Mr. Campbell's statement shows his lack of understanding of the issue, how government operates and how to properly deal with the Nisga'a agreement at this late stage of negotiations. Where were you over the last few years, Gordon? I will offer you and What kind of country do we want? Editor, The Star, Sir, The Liberals have been looking for a scapegoat since the separatists failed by a hair's breadth to • win the referendum. Governments are never very willing to admit they fumbled the ball, and this one has been searching for someone to blame. Well, now we know they found it Guess what: It's the CBC. Insiders have been telling us for a couple of weeks that cabinet members have been incensed by what they saw as a "yes" bias in French language coverage, particularly from RDI, the Radio Canada French language all-news channel. They also complained that the English language CBC and Newsworld didn't take Lucien Bouchard to task during the campaign, and they objected to what they saw as a lack of boosterism in the CBC's coverage of the campaign. Backbenchers have been taunting CBC reporters, threatening them with privatization, and making it clear that they are ready to settle the score. What the Prime Minister said in New Zealand was that the CBC had failed in its mandate to promote national unity. We could be generous and surmise that, away from Canada, Mr. Chretien simply forgot that the Broadcasting Act was rewritten in 1991 to take out that role for the CBC. It was replaced with a statement that the system should "...serve to safeguard, enrich and strengthen the cultural, political, social and economic fabric of Canada." However, I fear his'comments reflect more than simple forgetfulness. What I hear the Prime Minister saying is that the CBC failed to fulfil what he sees as its role as a - government propaganda machine. I'm sorry, Mr. Chretien: Free- world democracies expect more than that from their public broadcasters. These comments show such a profound lack of understanding about the role of the news media in covering events such as refenda that it is frightening. On the practical side, just who was the CBC supposed to influence in the vote? Its audience is English speaking Canadians. Those inside Quebec were already decidedly voting "no". Those outside Quebec obviously didn't get a vote. You might ask: Where is the CBC on this matter? When several of the 18 or so vice-presidents at the CBC were contacted, they wouldn't respond to the PM's comments. Either they had been told lo keep out of it, or they figured it was Beatty's turn to carry the bag on this one. So where is Perrin Beatty, the government's good boy scout and president of the CBC? Not surprisingly, Mr. Beatty was originally unavailable for comment about the statements his boss had made. Then, his response was that the CBC had hired consultants to analyze the CBC's reporting during the referendum, and they would report their findings to the board of directors some time in December. But what Canadians needed to hear him say was that the CBC's programming agenda would not be set by the government, and that it was unacceptable for the Prime Minister to say what he did. Where does that leave us? No doubt in the days to come, the Prime Minister's advisers will "clarify" what he said in New Zealand and somehow we'll be asked to believe that what he intended to say was somehow quite different, that his statements were taken out of context by a news-hungry media. The tone will be reassuring, even and measured. However, this issue is a fundamental one. We can't let it be swept under the rug or brushed aside by belated "clarifications." If our country is to survive, in the weeks and months to come Canadians will have to spend a great deal of time contemplating just what kind of a country we are, and what kind of a country we can be in the future. What we saw today was a glimpse of a vision I, for one, don't care for. GORD HUNTER, v'.V«w«?si*yw*' •' •' British Columbians my advice. To stop the current government from signing the Nisga'a agreement in principle you need to go forward with a legal challenge and have the courts answer the question "What is BCs responsibility?" At considerable time, effort and expense I personally outlined the "questions" and put before the Supreme Court a writ, which asked the court to declare British Columbia's constitutional obligation..The question is non-partisan and not racial, but very much addresses British Columbians' concerns, from a British Columbia perspective. My gift to British Columbia is the very essence of the writ, and that is a major component in putting land claims and the costs squarely back where they ri^itful- ly helong - at the federal level of responsibility. The proper course of events is to ask the Court to define responsibility. To tear up contracts, after the fact, sends a most inappropriate message to British Columbians, the Native community, the rest of Canada and, worse yet, to investors in the province of British Columbia. The challenge for you, Mr. Campbell, is to join with me in the court action. What Mr. Campbell is suggesting is worse than Reform leader Jack Weisgerber's non-native veto power Mr. Campbell is attempting to put veto power in his own hands. To boldly step backwards, to make us take back . what was given, will oidy encourage more confrontation and does not make much sense when all the tools are in place and all he really needs to do is accept my challenge of leadership. Seeking workable solutions is the answer, and having the ability to negotiate openly with the federal government is what is necessary. To try to make headlines on the backs of a few indicates to me that your biggest fear, Mr. Campbell, is to sit down to meaningful negotiations for which you are clearly not prepared. Remember that civility on all sides is not a sign of weakness and sincerity is always subject to proof. You should never negotiate out of fear and you should never fear to negotiate. To be premier suggests more than simple headlines. It should speak of principled leadership, responsible risk taking and a consistent message of respect for the process of government and for all British Columbians.

Then the Regents pulled ahead on a "spectacular" goal by Greg Zibin on an excellent setup from Colby Hansen. Adam Furness made some nice saves in the Regents net to keep the game close at the half.

Heading into these games the Bruins were undefeated after one game against the Surrey A3. Will Parley, son of the legendary Fraser Valley Oldtimer "Red Parley", got the nod to face the Hawks, and, unlike his father Will, was 2-0 in his last two starts. The Bruins started the scoring at 9:55 of the first, when Lewis Bennett parked himself in front of the net and anxiously awaited Richard Pearce to pass him the puck. Rich fed Lewis a pass, and Lewis banged it in, then skated over to Richard and thanked him. Abbotsford answered with the next two goals, and the first period ended with the Bruins down 2-1. The Bruins were the only team to score in the second frame both by Jason Garrison with assists to Greg Neufeld, who enjoyed his short stint at centre thanks to "Mister Misconduct". The locals went up 4-2 with an unassisted effort by Jason Garrison at 10:07 of the third to finish off his natural hat trick. Abbotsford scored at 8:50 to pull within one, but with 3:22 left in the game Richard Pearce put the Bruins up 5-3 with the assist to Jeff Toth, and that all but scaled it for his team. However Abbotsford didn't read the script on how this one was supposed to finish, and Aldergrove played the last three minutes with glory in tiieir eyes instead of defensive intensity in their hearts. Abbotsford scored at :55 seconds and :23 seconds to tie the game at 5-5. The moral of this story is "Do not hop (de-fence) before the game is over." The next game in Surrey for the second Saturday in a row reminded us all why wc chose not to live there. With two hired security guards taken on this road trip to watch over (he cars in the parking lot, the Aldergrove parents were able to rest easily inside. With a 1-0-1 record in two league games, the Bruins were looking to add another win at the expense of the Surrey A2 team. What has become common place happened again, the Bruins went down 2-0 by the 12:19 mark of the first period. Aldergrove answered with two of their own, first Jason Garrison shelved one from Todd Hagen and Jason Brown, then Jordan Stangle showed he listened to the coaches at one point and skated hard to the net for the rebound, and it paid off for him, popping in the tieing goal. Surrey answered with their third, before Josh Hall banged in a pass from Michael Kittirath and Kris Armstrong to make it 3-3. At :34 left in the first, Jeff Toth let go a shot from the blue line that bounced in off a Surrey defender, and the local club was up 4-3. The teams traded goals in the second, Aldergrove's coming from Richard Pearce with assists to Lewis Bennett and Jordan Stan- Leading 5-4 and going into an 8:00 third period, the Aldergrove defencemen showed no character and allowed Surrey's forwards to skate around them easily. Surrey scored at 7:24 and 3:15 to take a 6-5 lead. Doing their best Vancouver Canucks impersonation this club has been unable to hold a lead in most games and it has cost them two wins. Standing 1-1-1. Bruirp maul Mission midgets By CHARLIE FOX ALDERGROVE - The Titan Construction Midget 'B' Bruins started regular season play on a winning note this past two weeks as they thumped the visiting Mission Midget 'B' team. Kris Lindquist, one of only two second year players on the team showed his leadership by popping in the first goal at 2:50 of the first period with assists going to Darren Caldwell and Steve Weber. Derek Day followed 18 seconds later finishing off a nice passing play from Jonathon Long and Sandy Brown. The Bruins scored three more goals before Mission got on die board. Goals by Jonathon Long, unassisted, Steve Hoffman from Matt Holms and Nicholas Seguin, and Sandy Brown from Derek Day and James Patterson resulted in the 5-0 lead. It was James Kenyan scoring for Mission to break T.O. Leakey's shutout bid. In the third period the Bruins stretched their lead on fine offensive efforts by Nicholas Seguin, assist going to Darren Caldwell. Chris Fox, assists to Kris Lindquist and Derek Ottoson and Sandy Brown, notched his second of the night from Derek Day. T.O. Leakey got the win in net as he anchored the team to it's first of what is hoped to be many victories this season. The game was a relatively clean affair, as the boys stuck pretty much to hockey, accumulating only 28 minutes in penalties, a pleasure to see after the last time these two teams met. The team's second game of the year saw the team travel to Queen's Park Arena for a game, which had the shades of the days the Bruins of old played. One team (Aldergrove) showed up to play hockey, and the home New Westminster team showed up to scriminageii»it?-was a rough affair, but the Tifan Bruins prevailed as they rebounded from an early one goal deficit. With the heads up play of Colby Smith in net, Matt Holmes popped in the first goal, assists going to Steve Hoffman and recently called up Sean Askin. The locals took the lead when hard working Greg Maggio scored what proved to be the winner with an assist to Scan Askin. The insurance marker came as Steve Hoffman scored a pretty goal on a nice passing play orchestrated by Derek Day. Tuesday night saw the team return home for a tough match against their old rivals Poco. Digging a hole early and going down two goals was tough but Uie feisty Bruins battles back. Goals by Derek Day (assists Darren Caldwell and Sean Askin) and Sean Askin (assist to Sandy Brown) allowed the team to come within one before they scored again. Then it was Steve Weber. The team battled hard but Poco scored with seconds left, and the goalie pulled to claim a 5-3 victory. The Bruins then travelled to North Shore Winter Club where the team seemed to nm out of gas, and they let the NSWC team back in the game once too many. Tak- ing the lead four times they lacked the killer instinct to put the home team away. Sandy Brpwn scored three goals on the evening, while Derek Day and Darren Caldwell had two assists each. Greg Maggio was the other scorer. It was the combination of a couple of untimely giveaways, mixed with some unique calls by the officials and injured players who managed to do (lie Bruins the injustice. They settled for a 4-4 tie on an evening when they were the superior team. The Bruins' record now stands at 2-1-1 for the season as they ■ await* their nex-t-opponent, -Langley. m UNITED OPTICAL "YOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" Mark Twain once said something about thunder being good and impressive but it's lightning that does ali the work - in the case of the Nov. 17 Langley Thunder game it was the high winds that knocked out power, causing game rescheduling.

NOVEMBER 29.1995 GOING TO THE NET: Aldergrove Pee Wee A Bruins' Mike Roberts (17), Mark Cassibo (10) and Simon Whitlock gang up on the PoCo goaltender in a game played in PoCo, Nov. 26. Bruins won the game 6-4. Peewees on the rebound If ALDERGROVE - The West- era Line Painting Pee Wee A Bruins rebounded from a crushing defeat dealt to them by Coquitlam . on November 23 by bouncing Port Coquitlam 6-4 in PoCo's home arena Nov. 26. PoCo scored the only goal of the first period, despite strong Bruins pressure. They increased the lead to 2-0 early in the second period, before Matt Roberts flipped a Drew Hill rebound high into the PoCo net. On his next shift Matt Roberts was back, this time making a solo rush down the right side, before beating the PoCo goalie on the short side. The home squad took a short-lived 3-2 lead before Mike Roberts, with help from Mark Cassibo, fired a shot from die slot to tie the game. Only 9 seconds later Ryan Costello, assisted by Matt Roberts, did some fancy work around the PoCo goal and gave the Bruins a tenuous one goal lead. Midway through the final stanza Mark Cassibo sent Simon Whitlock into the PoCo zone, and Whitlock finished off the play with a beauty of a roof job. PoCo notched one more to make the score 5-4 before pulling their goalie for the extra attacker. The move backfired, however, as David Mamchur and Mike Roberts effectively checked PoCo deep in the PoCo zone, before Roberts fired the insurance marker with 36 seconds left on the clock. Hash marks: Eric Strandt suffered a broken bone in his left arm and will be lost for at least 6 weeks...He joins Steven Schulz (knee) and Matt Keith on the sidelines. Keith is day to day after suffering a back injury when viciously checked from behind... The Bruins showed once again they need everybody if they are going to win in this tier. They played consistent throughout the game, never got frustrated in the first period, and kept die pressure on PoCo all over the ice...The victory was important for the Bruins as they showed a lot of character coming back from the loss to Coquidam...The very disciplined Bruins took only one penalty and, smartiy, chose to play through all the PoCo stick work.

VANCOUVER - In reviewing its responses to the extensive power outages on the Nov. 17-19 weekend, B.C. Hydro now estimates a total of approximately 195,000 customers were without electricity for varying periods of time, beginning late Friday afternoon. About 150,000 of those affected were on the Lower Mainland; the remainder were customers on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The outages were caused by a rainstorm accompanied by near hurricane-force winds which brought down numerous trees and branches that fell on powerlines. On the Lower Mainland, the area affected was from Powell River down the coast to Greater Vancouver and into the Fraser Valley. Approximately 70 per cent of these customers had their power restored within the first 12 hours and 95 per cent were restored within 24 hours. Nearly all remaining customers had electricity by Sunday evening, while service was restored on Monday to a handful of customers with unique problems. Utility officials claimed it was the most severe disruption to its operations in the past 10 years. Cost of the restoration work has not yet been determined, but is J expected to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hydro president John Sheehan said, "We are pleased that our customers seemed to recognize the problem was massive and caused by circumstances beyond our control. If there is a lesson to be learned, it would appear that tree-trimming and vegetation management are die keys to minimizing the frequency and extent of power outages during these kinds of conditions." Sheehan noted diat without the aggressive tree-trimming program conducted by the utility in recent years, outages in some cases could have extended over a much longer period of time. "Forty Hydro line crews, including a contingent of workers from Kamloops, and 44 contractor crews worked 16-hour shifts throughout the weekend.

In the past, they went to landfills or were made available to the public, where some of these chemically treated poles were used in environmentally unfriendly ways. In a joint effort to recycle wood poles in a more efficient way and protect the environment, B.C.Hydro, BC TEL and B.C. Wood Recycling have developed a program to turn waste poles into usable lumber. Contact us via e-mail at: environment®bchydro.bc.ca Now, approximately 60% of every pole is recovered and milled into lumber for fencing, decking and landscaping. So, instead of burdening our landfills, most of this wood goes to community projects or is reused by B.C.Hydro to build bridges, borders or for use in environment enhancement projects.

A Taste of the Arts will take place at the Mission campus on December 2 and 3 at 7:30 pm. Each evening will feature two literary readings, a musical interlude, a visual art display, and a wine and cheese reception. The visual art display will include sculptures, photography, wood carvings, paintings, pottery, and a special mixed-media collection by Hatzic Secondary school students. June Dickson is one of the artists exhibiting and will also deliver a literary reading on Saftir- day. Dickson's work has appeared in numerous shows. "I feel positively compelled to make art," said Dickson. "I see things that stop me in my tracks: the graceful, flowing shapes of swirling water, naturally sculpted rock or sand, wood grains, clouds, die natural mandela of a flower. "In a violent and ugly world where nodiing is sacred, I take the opposite point of view. There is harmony and meaning, and a radiance in every-day objects. I exjie- rience a deeper level of reality when I make art, and I hope lo evoke that experience for the viewer." Frank Blivcn will provide the musical entertainment on Saturday. He's an expert in classical and baroque guitar, and renaissance and baroque lute. He has played extensively throughout North America and has made numerous television and radio appearances. Singer/songwriter John Hough will present the musical interlude on Sunday. Hough began his musical career at age four, singing in the aisles of McGivcrn's Grocery store in north Toronto. His first solo album, Train Through a Northern Town was released last spring. A strong Canadian identity and his love for stories are reflected in die songs he writes and performs. Freelance writer Helena Zukowski will give one of the readings Sunday evening.

NOVEMBER 29.1995 CAR CARE Tires never go flat when it's convenient By JERRY ZEZIMA According to statistics I recently compiled while waiting in the rain for a tow truck, four out of five Americans don't know how to change a tire. The fifth person is, coincidentally, a mechanic. That is why I have decided to pass along my expert advice on the subject, which I offer in the sincere hope that the next time I get a flat tire, as I unfortunately aid the other day, you will be more dian happy to change it for me. It is an immutable law of nature that you will get a flat tire in one or more of five maddening circumstances: (a) When you are in a hurry to get somewhere. (b) When you are wearing good clothes. (c) When you are in heavy traffic. (d) When the weather is bad. (e) All of the above. No one in automotive history has ever had a flat tire during a leisurely ride on a sunny day off while wearing a pair of faded jeans, dirty sneakers and an old shirt. This corresponds with Zezi- ma's First Law of Driving: No one ever has car trouble on a nice day. That includes flat tires, which are most often caused by: (a) potholes, (b) glass, or (c) nails. This raises an interesting question: Where the heck do all those nails come from? Do crazed carpenters sneak out in the middle of the night and dump them into the street? No one knows. I do know, however, that once you have discovered you have a flat tire, you are required by federal law to get out of your car, stare at the deflated rubber and, while waving your arms wildly, spew invectives of such hair-raising magnitude that even potential good Samaritans TIRE STORES A COMPLETE LINE OF CAR •VAN • TRUCK ACCESSORIES P155/B0R13WW §4595 Marshal 782 #1 - 26004 Fraser Hwy., Aldergrove 857-1981 857-1140 Premium All-Season Steel Belted Radial With A 100,000 km Wear Out Warranty* - Computer generated all season tread design for excellent grip in all weather conditions. * ask for details will lock their car doors and drive on. At this point you should go into your trunk and get three important items: 1. The jack. 2. The tire iron. 3. The spare tire. If you drive any car made after 1980, you will immediately discover that: (a) the jack is approxi- mately the size of a PEZ dispenser, and (b) the spare tire looks Idee a training wheel. Only the tire iron seems like it could possibly be of any earthly use, which of course it isn' t. Next you should go into the glove compartment and get the first-aid kit You will need it The first thing you will notice is that, unless you have the brute strength of an orangutan, it is virtually impossible to loosen the lug nuts. That is why you will have to attach the tire iron to each lug nut and, instead of using your hands, stomp down with such force that you will either slip and lacerate your ankle or score a direct hit and break the tire iron. When you have finally loosened the lug nuts, you must jack up the car so you can remove the tire. Unfortunately, you can't do this without suffering a significant loss of blood. That's because you must turn some stupid Utile leverage rod to raise the jack. On each turn, you simply can't avoid scraping your knuckles on the hard surface of the road or parking lot, taking off several layers of skin in the process. Then there is the frightening possibility that, once you get the car up, the pathetically puny jack will snap under the weight of the vehicle, skip off the ground and hit you right between the eyes, which at the.very least would break the jack. Other likely hazards include cutting your fingers on the rim of the flat tire, dropping the dumb thing on your foot, rupturing a vital organ while lifting it into the trunk, jamming your thumb while putting.on the spare and, of I 3 § The Jetta GL Turbo Diesel Lease H $2997month. $850 down.

Then, while driving with a spare tire that not only looks like it was made at Dunkin' Donuts, but won't last more than 25 miles before it, too, goes kablooey, you have to go to a garage and hope the flat can be patched. If not, you will have to fork over a lot of money to that mechanic for not one, but two new tires. Then again, you can always take the bus. Your Voice By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK Friday, November 17 was the night the lights went out! What was your biggest inconvenience during the Big Blackout of '95? James Ostlin: I couldn't cook. We were out for about 15 hours. We were ok because we have a fireplace insert and we have oil lamps. Anna Nosek: I had to drive home in it. I was coming by 16th...there was a horrible accident, I saw the aftermath. Then I got home and there was no lights. Couldn't find the candles and finally found the flashlight. There were two or three of them (power outages) in about a weeks time. Our apologies, due to technical difficulties, the following responses are without photos. Justin Ryan, 15: Couldn't eat at Dairy Queen. Khoa Ngugen, 25: My family couldn't cook dinner. I took a shower the next morning, I usually take a shower at night; no hot water. I couldn't type, my computer was out, I had to do homework. Frieda Reid: We just had to go to bed earlier. The power was off from nine fifteen until four o'clock in the morning. So, there really was no inconvenience. Leanne Fleet with Brandi, 9 and Brittany Butler, 7: ...We didn't have any heat...a little bit of the flashing on the roof came off, that was about it. ...It sucked because it was my birthday. We went bowling, and when we came home (the power) was on. David and Becky Parson: We had to go to ABC for lunch. Bob Kantian: Not having any electricity...actually, I was spending a romantic evening at home with a friend and actually thought the power going out was quite nice, so I really didn't have a lot '•of- inconvenience. Winter driving I are you, your car ready? OTTAWA - Winter driving on Canada's highways and sideroads can be hazardous. Most of us dread the thought of getting stuck during a storm or having the vehicle break down on an icy stretch with no help in sight. However, drivers can help reduce the danger they and their passengers could find themselves in by planning ahead. Safe Guard partner, Emergency Preparedness Canada, offers the following suggestions on what to do before you start a winter road trip and what to do if you find yourself stranded in the cold: Plan for emergencies: Consider membership in the Canadian Automobile Association or other emergency road service. If you do a lot of winter driving away from main roads, you might also consider having a cellular phone in your vehicle to call for help. To help avoid breakdowns, always make sure your car is in good mechanical condition, that you have ample gasoline for the trip and that your snow tires or all- season radials are properly inflated and not too badly woni. Heed weather warnings: Listen to the local weather forecast before you set out on the road. If you hear warnings-of severe winter weather conditions such as blizzards, heavy snow, freezing rain or high winds, venture out in your vehicle only if it is really necessary. If you must be on the road, keep listening for weather warn ings on the car radio, so you can adjust your route and other travel plans, if necessary. If conditions worsen, don't press on. If the going gets tough, turn back or seek refuge. Try to keep to main roads. Let somebody know your expected time of arrival and your route. Dress for the cold: Dress for the weather - and carry extra winter clothing with you - in case your car breaks down or you get • stuck. Always have a hat, warm coat, boots, socks and mittens. (Without a hat, you can lose up to 60 per cent of your body heat.) Carry an emergency kit: Keep a flash light, first-aid kit and a sleeping bag or warm blanket (or a space-saving light weight "space" blanket) with you in the car and consider carrying the following items in the- trunk, even if you do mosdy city driving: •Shovel •Sand-salt mixture (or kitty Utter, which is lighter) •Tow chain •Warning light or flares •Warm clothing/footwear/mitts •Emergency food (cookies, candy bar, etc.) •Booster cables •Ice scraper and brush •Waterproof matches and a 'survival' candle in a deep can (to warm hands or use as an emergency light) •Fuel-line de-icer •Winter windshield fluid •Traction mats (carpet or cardboard) •Fire extinguisher Get your car tuned up and checked out: Winter weather presents the greatest challenge to vehicles and their engines, so prepare for winter driving with a tune-up. The following systems should also be fully checked: •battery and charging system •ignition system (ignition wires and distributor cap) •lights (make sure headlights are properly aimed) •brakes •tires (all four tires should have the same tread pattern for even traction) •exhaust system (check for leaks that could send carbon monoxide into the car) •heating and cooling system (radiator and hoses, anti-freeze, thermostat, heater, defrost, water pump) •winter windshield wipers and fluid What to do if you get stranded: If you do get stuck or if your car breaks down, don't panic. Avoid overexertion and exposure to the cold. Try to dig yourself out only if you arc in a safe area and if the effort will not be too arduous. Otherwise, stay in your car, especially at night or during a stonn so you will have shelter. Don't risk exhaustion or getting lost or frozen by setting out on foot to get help. Keep some fresh air in the vehicle by opening the window a crack. Run the motor sparingly so you won't wear down the battery. Beware of exhaust fumes and ensure the exhaust pipe is not blocked by snow. (Remember - you can't smell potentially fatal carbon monoxide.) You can run the car engine about 10 minutes every half hour if the exhaust system is working well. Set out warning lights or flares. Put on the dome light if it gets dark. Overuse of headlights will run down your battery. Keep warm. Put on extra clothing. Don't fall asleep. Clap your hands and stamp your feet so they won't freeze. Keep watch for traffic or searchers. Do not drink alcohol as it inhibits clear thinking and lowers the body temperature after an initial warming effect, fa* THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 29.1995 CAR CARE Stay safe and stay jolly LANGLEY - RCMP observe that "This the Season to be Jolly" but it's always a good idea to be careful and protect yourself from muggers. At this time of year we often find ourselves loaded down with packages as we work our way through the mall, doing our Christmas shopping. This can lead to a situation we would all like to avoid. If your arms are full you could be a target for someone who may try to take advantage of that; possibly to snatch a purse, or one of those parcels. The following are a few tips to keep this your season of good cheer. How not to be a Victim: •Try to leave one hand free if possible; purchase a large shopping bag in which to put your purchases, leaving one hand free. •Consider using a "fanny pack" type of purse turned to (lie front. •Carry only a small amount of cash - either use a bank debit card or a charge card. •Make a trip to your car if you have too much to carry in one hand... hut •Don't leave parcels in view in your vehicle. Speaking of vehicles, theft from autos is a major crime statistic in B.C. The cost of the property stolen, insurance claims, and policing adds up to millions each year. But you don't have to become a victim of these statistics. Fight back by following these tips: •Close your vehicle's windows and lock all doors any time your car is unattended, even if for a few minutes. •Don't leave valuables in the car. If it's unavoidable, keep your valuables out of plain view, preferably by locking them in the trunk. •Well-lit areas discourage theft. When parking, avoid dark, secluded spots. Potential witnesses discourage theft, too. Park where there are tots of pedestrians. •Stereos and CB radios are prime targets for thieves. Engrave your licence number on your stereo or CB. Install them with removable brackets, allowing you to take them or lock them in the trunk when leaving your car. •If your vehicle doesn't have a locking gas cap, install one. This prevents vandalism or theft of gasoline. •Cars with outside opening hoods should have locks preventing the hood from being opened. •Mark all valuable with your driver's license number. •Keep an inventory of all accessories with serial numbers for identification. Items commonly carried in your vehicle, such as tools, should also be engraved With your drivers license if and recorded by serial number. •If you see suspicious persons in or around motor vehicles, call the police. If a vehicle is involved in the suspicious activity, be sure to try to obtain the license number and a description of the vehicle as well as the persons for the police. 1 LANGLEY'S LARGEST CHRYSLER - DODGE - JEEP PARTS & SERVICE CENTER ^CHRYSLER FIVE STAR SERVICE HOPS YOU PREPJUIE FOR THE COLD wmh ASSAULT "Nobody knows your Chrysler vehicle like your Chrysler Dealer."

NOVEMBER 29.199S Farmers out in cold but are fighting back ALDERGROVE - Liberal agriculture critic John van Dongen told The Star that his party has passed a resolution to review the Agricultural Land Reserve at their recent policy convention, but fears that a Liberal government would "gut" the ALR are unfounded. "We want a fair review, and to be more pro-active," said van Dongen. "But even now the land commission is going through fine- tuning of buffers in cooperation with local governments." He said ongoing review is a process that would keep the 22 year old legislation relevant to today's realities, He pointed to the local problem the Abbotsford campus of University College of Uie Fraser Valley has had in getting additional land out of the ALR for its growth. 'There's no question that UCFV was put in the wrong location (by today's standards), but it's there and there's no way to move it." The land reserve and commission was put in place by Dave Barrett's government in the early '70s, and overnight the price of both farm and non-farm land escalated, and the pace of these hikes continues unabated lo this day. Currendy, the potential debt- load of a family farm is such thai most small farmers need to inherit the operation to be viable, but very few children arc choosing to follow in their parents' footsteps, and they are pursuing more lucrative and secure careers. Mike I larcourt's government has also removed ALR appeals to the provincial cabinet, leaving decisions entirely to the land commission which invariably rejects exclusions. Herb Barbolct, cofoundcr and coordinator of Farm Folk/City . Folk has been involved in promoting supptflTTTeseateh-and education on agricultural matters and is involved in developing a provincial food policy. He recently observed that, "The ALC has done an outstanding job, but one area that hasn't been looked at enough is the protection of fanners. The status of farmers is abysmally low. The vast majority of fanners have been working as a labour of love with few rewards, and they have not been able to put away enough that would allow them a level of comfort." There is also a coming legal challenge to die 22 year old ALC, a $10-billion lawsuit that the Land Owners Rights Association intends to file next spring. LORA, primarily orchardists and ranchers from the Okanagan Valley, have long voiced opposition to bureaucratic regulations that hamper their operations. Ongoing reductions in agricultural subsidies and elimination of federal feed-freight assistance will also have an effect, although these may not be as negative as some predict. When New Zealand went' through its debt crisis, agricultural subsidies were among the first programs to be axed, but the resulting tumbling of land prices caused farming to grow as it never had before because common people could again afford fannland. In terms of its si/.e and accessibility, farming in New Zealand has never been healthier. Gordie Ivans, president of the 600-mcmbcr LORA, and a third- generation farmer in Kelowna, said they want the land reserve abolished and the fannland put in the hands of regional authorities. Ivans said freedom to siibcfiviy«r would finance replanting of new species or cover losses from bad years, but he doesn't favour subsidies: "When you get these pro- grains in place, you become reliant on them, and once they remove lliem, you're dead in the water." The B.C. Fruit Growers Association had considered a similar lawsuit, but dropped it after agriculture minister Dave Zirnhelt offered $ll.6-million in grants to Okanagan fruit growers. President David I Iobson said they dropped the suit because they would have had no access to government during the legal process. "This isn't generated by pure greed. In a lot of cases it is generated by extreme frustration with government." Van Dongen, who has 20 years experience as a dairy fanner on 73 hectares in Abbotsford, said, "B.C. fanners arc Ihe least subsidized and it's not a real issue here. The ministry of agriculture programs, like crop insurance, only account for about $20-million a year - it's not very much." He added that, 'The environmental and urban pressures would go out of control if there's no agricultural policy. If we didn't have the ALC I don't think we'd have much of an agriculture industry." Van Dongen said there are arguments in favour of giving local authorities more control over exclusion decisions, but the target he's set his sights on is an overhaul of the agriculture ministry's rules and regulations, of which there are far too many, and many are in conflict with each other. "Government has to come to grips with the reality that you can't have one ministry saying 'You must be globally competitive' and another ministry saying 'You can't have Mexican labourers' or taking away the piece rate jg^%is|ii*^r the mini mum "wage." These and other taxation issues must be considered if agriculture is to be competitive and continue to exist. Township mayor John Scholtens told The Star that the biggest threat to farming here is the changing attitudes and legislation regarding environmental protection. Pointing out that this area is criss-crossed by streams, he said both the environment ministry and the public will dog agricultural land users with complaints about possible pollution concents. Scholtens, who has kept a flock of sheep in Munayville for many years, said he told a dairy farmer recendy that he was thinking of getting a milk cow. "He told me to forget it, that I didn't want to know about all the trouble I'd have with neighbours and provincial ministries. ALR would be "gutted" by Liberals? WILLIAMS LAKE - Minister of Agriculture David Zirnhelt has attacked Gordon Campbell's Liberals, 'Tor their new agricultural policy aimed at undoing one of B.C.'s best loved land use programs, the Agricultural Land Reserve." On Nov. 18 the B.C. Liberal party convention passed a resolution, supported by the party leadership, calling for a full-scale review of the ALR. Delegates speaking in favour of the review claimed that there was too much land in the ALR. 'The ALR is one of the land use achievements that sets British Columbia apart from other jurisdictions in North America. That Gordon Campbell would consider gutting it, shows just how deep he is in the pockets of developers and big business," said Zinihclt. 'The ALR is one of the rea- Composting complaints... From front... on-site." Darlene Poitras cited concerns over wellwatcr depiction and pollution in the "vulnerable aquifer. We can't tmst die people hired to protect the environment." Murray Craig said the bylaw should be "amended to ensure it's not allowed on-site." Noting that "the fanners are suing while they continue to negotiate with the township," he told council, "Don't give in to gunboat diplomacy." The bylaw moves to likely final reading at next Monday's council meeting, as the township staff's search for a site lo apply it to continues. All possible sites mentioned so far have been on die eastern side of the township, and council remains on record as opposed to the Money's composting plant on industrial land in Cloverdale, because of its odours wafting into Brookswood and langley city. Last week at the Douglas Day banquet, coun. Heather McMullan told The Star that she had never noticed Money's odours at her Brookswood residence, and added Uiat she wasn't sure how to vote on the bylaw but council's decision on the issue, "has the potential for disaster." She solved that problem this week by joining coun. Steve Burton in leaving the room for the hearing, citing "conflict of interest" EvidenUy, Burton and McMullan are both signed aboard as members of the Coalition of Concerned Citizens and are thus biased. This bit of expediency allows the duo to distance themselves from Uie controversy, and after the rest of council makes its decision, to say, "I (could have) told you so." 8 CRAZY TRUCK DEALS 1994 GMC TRACKER 4X4 1994 GMC EXT 271 4X4 P/U 1994 NISSAN EXT AUTO P/U 1992 JEEP YJ CONV 4X4 1993 NISSAN P/U EXT 1991 GMC P/U CLEAN 1990 DODGE P/U PROPANE/GAS . 1994 NISSAN EXT 4X4 AUTO P/U. ..12,888 Sold ^1.3,488 ..13,488 1^.888 ..10,488 ....3,888 ..21,888 NISSAN Daalor License #7702 ABBOTSFORD 2743 Emmerson St. Abbotsford West Oaks Mall S> SOUTH FRASER WAY I H< ABBOTSFORD e PU NISSAN sons B.C. continues to have a strong agricultural industry.

People don't travel to the Okanagan or the Fraser Valley to visit malls. Removing significant chunks of land from the ALR will have a negative economic impact on those areas." Horses a township priority LANGLEY - "Organic go- karts" are to be considered for a special fund the township is considering establishing in next year's budget i|)3p Coun. Mel Kositsky says since Langley markets itself as the "Horse capital of B.C." and "the Department of Agricultural Horse Industry study identifies the need for more and better horse trails as its number one issue," he's moved that township council set aside a special fund for horse trails and improvements. "The Langley Horse Federation (is) asked to form a special committee on horse trails and report back to council on specific needs and identify desired routes and approximate costs." The motion also seeks that, "Private-public sponsorships and community-volunteer contributions should also be identified, through cash contributions and volunteer labour." Coun. Steve Burton suggested it showed "great intent but is redundant." Kositsky countered that, "We don't have a specific fund to split 50-50 from." Coun. Heather McMullan was the sole vote against it going to budget committee for consideration: "We already have trails and acreage all over, but today one of the Langley Community Music School buildings was condemned (by the city)." Coun. Muriel Aniason said at the recent joint township-city meeting, the city officials said they "would fix up" the building to meet the code.

NOVEMBER 29,1995 15 LANGLEY - A request for a community development plan for the Salmon River Uplands has been referred to council's Dec. 4 planning session. John White will also receive a reply, to the effect that the area is an "ongoing study area." White wrote that he'd purchased a 10.5 acre chicken farm at 24681 - 54 Avenue recendy and closed it down and has begun demolishing the barns which had caused "numerous complaints concerning odour and flies." He said the farm had contaminated the river, but if water service was provided and the non-ALR land was subdivided it would "enhance the neighbourhood." White said that nitrate contamination of die neighbourhood was caused by farm fertilizer use, not residential septic fields. "If we are unable to proceed with our plans we will be forced to reinstate the chicken farm operation." Are water sources polluted beyond repair? w EAITH0^ By JULIE EDWARDS This is the first instalment of a series of articles, dedicated to answering your specific questions regarding investing, to run every month. Please call me at 853- 6668 or 864-5992 (24 hrs.) with your question. What is Dollar Cost Averag • ing and how does it help me as an investor? Many investors try to "time" the market by buying high, and then selling low. Though wise in theory, this method very rarely works for the average person. Instead, the best way is to invest a fixed amount of money in an investment at regular intervals, preferably over a long period of time. By adhering to this strategy, your average cost will be lower than the average price over a given period. This will potentially translate into higher profits for you. Dollar Cost Averaging helps to smooth the market fluctuations. When market prices fluctuate, individuals, who invest sporadically, may find, the value of Uieir investment either rises, falls or stagnates over a period of time. By investing regularly, market volatility is substantially reduced. You buy more units when the price is low, and retain value widi fewer units when the price is high. How do I calculate my allow ■ able RRSP contribution for this year? Last summer after your income tax statements had been processed, you should have been sent a form called a Notice of Assessment. This form outlines your total contributions for 1995. If you can not locate this form, simply call the General Inquiries section at the tax office at 1-800- 663-9033. (Also, be sure to try and take advantage of the $2,000 over-contribution allowance for 1995, as this may not be available next year). With all the problems happen • ing in Canada now, is it better to invest in foreign holdings or domestically? Investments held wilhin your RRSP are regulated to hold a maximum of 20% foreign content. Beyond your RRSP, global investing can bring the world to your portfolio and expose you to some of the world's most profitable industries. There are many sound reasons to invest globally. Since Canada represents only 3% of the world's equity market, global investing can broaden horizons and subse- quendy enhance your investments opportunities. After all, you don't put all your valuable assets in one • stock or one industry, so why place all your assets in one country. Diversification reduces risk in a portfolio, and a global investor is not subject to the vagaries of 1 market value that a single nation,- • investor faces. I pay my yearly administration fee for my RRSP Mutual Fund account, yet I am still paying a management fee on top of that. Why is this? Management fees cover the cost of hiring experienced, professional managers to make the investment decisions about the fund's assets, including decisions to buy and sell those assets. Mutual Fund companies charge this fee directly against the fund's assets and not to any individual investors. However the amount does vary from fund to fund and therefore may have a significant impact on the rate of return you receive. Administration fees are for operating expenses. These may include: •Administration services to investors as statements and continuations of purchase and sale of shares; •Printing, mailing and preparation costs for quarterly reports •Commissions to brokerage firms for buying and selling, research, tracking stocks and monitoring companies the fund has invested in; •Costs for annual audit of the Fund and legal fees. ABBOTSFORD - Prevention is better than rehabilitation when it conies to maintaining water quality in die Fraser Valley. Once we pollute streams and groundwater aquifers, it will become very difficult to improve the water resources, says a UBC water quality expert. The effects of land use on streams and aquifers was the focus of Land Use Impacts on Water Qualities in the Lower Fraser, public lecture by Dr. Hans Schreicr at the University College of the Fraser Valley, on November 28. Schreier, cunently a professor in Resource Management and Environmental Studies at UBC's Westwater Research Centre, says we can measure the impact on aquifers by looking for nutrient contaminants from manure and fertilizers from agriculture application and septic system nmoff. He points out that the ground just cannot handle the amount of fertilizer that's being applied on fanns today. Noting the large number of aquifers in the Lower Fraser Basin, Schreier said. 'People suggest 'why don't we bring in water from elsewhere and not worry about the aquifer as long as we don't use them.' This is a very short-sighted approach, because most of these aquifers provide water to streams in the summer. So, even if you continue to develop around these aquifers and no longer use the water, it's still a concern if we pollute them." "We've done case studies on three rivers: the Brunette in Burnaby, the Salmon in Langley, and the Sumas in Abbotsford. The Brunette River is a complete urban watershed, so we can look at the impact of non-point source pollutants from urbanization. In the Sumas River, we look at the impact from agriculture. In the Salmon River, we look at the combined impact from urban- agriculture. So, all of these case studies have shown slightly different things. What I want to do is make people aware that diffuse pollution from non-point sources Seminar serieS i-c Julie Edwards B.A. Mgmt. Econ.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, NOVEMBER 29,1995 17 Firefighters remove a "victim" from the Cadet Training Centre on 272 Street Monday night. RCSCC Columbia Cadets played mock victims of catastrophe in a practice exercise for local firefighters and ambulance c r e w s • -Tim Attwood photo Cadets prepare for sea with all-new crews ALDERGROVE - Sea Cadets Corps here are looking for a few good, young women and men. RCSCC Columbia (for ages 12- 17) and NLCC Columbia (for ages 10-12) meet Tuesday evenings, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Cadet Training Centre, 4315 - 272 Street just north of CFS Aldergrove. This national program is challenging, interesting and just plain good fun, while offering good citizenship, physical fitness and knowledge of the Canadian Forces with navy or sea related training. Best of all, it's free to participants, uniforms included. Some of the free opportunities offered are summer camps, international exchanges overseas, sailing, hiking and camping.

Several attacks have highlighted the different and all-too- common types of violence that women encounter. Tanya Smith and Misty Cockerill were victims of a stranger attack, the kind that strikes the most terror among the general population. Miriam Fournier and her boyfriend Rob Vaughan-Hulbert were killed in her home. Her former husband is charged with dieir murders. If he's guilty, this is domestic violence taken to an ultimate and terrible conclusion. The bodies of three prostitutes have been found in the hills around Mission, casualties of a killer who views sex-trade workers as fair game. These very public events have brought the issue of violence against women into the public eye, just like the Montreal Massacre of 1989, in winch 14 women were gunned down by an armed and angry man on December 6. In its commemorative button campaign, the YWCA states that "violence is a global issue, and every institution must work to build a culture of safely, equality, and justice for men and women." Five simultaneous candlelight vigils will be held in Uie Fraser Valley on December 6 at 6:30 pin: outside the Centennial Auditorium in Abbotsford, on the front stairs of the UCFV Abbotsford campus, at the Mission Indian Friendship Centre, in front of the theatre building at the UCFV Chilliwack campus, and at Memorial Park in Hope. Hundreds attend campus opening LANGLEY - Christian School Society celebrated the grand opening and dedication of their middle and high school campus on Nov. 23. Over 600 people were in attendance. Students led tours of the facility prior to the dedication program held in the gymnasium. The new school was occupied in early October, with an opening enrolment of 180 students representing grades 6 through 9. The Langley Christian School Society represents over 20 different denominations and draws from over 45 different churches in this community. The new campus is approximately 57,000 square feet in size. It has incorporated computer, biology and science laboratories, as well as an acoustically designed music room complete with practice studios. In addition, the facility has a language arts lab, a fully equipped library, a double gym, a counselling centre and eight classrooms. The concrete tilt structure of the school was chosen for its cost-effective contemporary design. Two expansions over the next three to five years are planned, which will allow for 24 additional classrooms and a fully-equipped vocational wing. Grades 10 through 12 will be added to the school over the next three years, and when complete, the school will accommodate an enrolment of 650 stu- ■ dents. The evening presented a double cause for celebration, since the Langley Christian School Society is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Opening its doors in 1955 with only 21 students, using the back of the First Christian Reformed Church in Langley, the school has experienced regular growth, necessitating several moves and expansions. Over the past five years, enrolment has increased 65% and is expected to grow steadily until the completion of the facilities in the year 2000. Current enrolment of the two schools is 515. Langley Christian School is a parentally-controlled school which seeks to provide quality Christian education with an emphasis on responsible and obedient service to God and others. The society will be able to provide education for students from kindergarten through Grade 12 with the completion of the fully equipped contemporary facility. A board of directors of 10 is elected from the society. High levels of parental and volunteer involvement is key to the success of the society and the quality education offered at LCS. LCS has maintained the highest of standards for academic learning over the years, as evaluated by the B.C. Ministry of Education and the Society of Christian Schools in B.C. It is located at 22702-48 Avenue.

Gary Farrell-Collins, Michael de Jong and John van Dongen, and B.C. Federation of Agriculture president, Jake Janzen. Janzfin- said Uie RiprpjfisTiave suffered "a heavy financial loss," and "It is unfortunate that a group of individuals who feel they are above the law have begun terrorizing the agricultural community. In doing so they are performing criminal acts against very legal and legitimate operations." Township mayor John Scholtens told the press conference that while the public "is entitled to opinions and debate... the enforcement of ideas by criminal acts does not benefit the animals or industry. We deplore this illegal act." Fred Rippin said that he received numerous calls from the public which were generally supportive, but while he got a couple callers who "were opposed to mink farming, they were not threatening." Sean Sharpe, a carnivore specialist with B.C. Environment's wildlife branch, issued a statement that outlined "major concerns" of the ministry about the impact the mink release causes for this area. Sharpe said the "large number released may displace native wild mink", although the wild mink will "likely oulcotn- pele" the farm mink in the long term. There are also "serious genetic implications" for wild mink should they breed with the farm mink, and the competition and predation would have impacts on raptors, owls, weasels, wintering fowl, small mammals, birds, "but particularly aquatic animals such as fish and amphibians. Several species of amphibians are blue- or red-listed and could be locally extirpated, especially if any number of the escaped mink survive until next spring or summer." Local volunteer efforts to bring back endangered fish species, such as the Salish Sucker and Nooksack Dace, could be upset by the raiding farm mink, but Sharpe said, "Most of the released farm mink will die from inability to cope with harsh conditions; cold, lack of food, predation by large raptors and coyotes, and road kill." While mink are web- footcd and semi-aquatic, several of Rippin's farm mink were found drowned in the ditches and creeks in the area, which includes the 640-acre Aldergrove Lake Park. Mink arc one of the few carnivores known to "kill for sport" ~ a single mink will kill every chicken in a pen before it stops to eat. However, there have been no reports of mink raiding local henhouses and the like, which would indicate that most of Uie 600 mink still at large from Rippin's farm must have been killed or starved to death by now. Except for breeding season, during winter, mink are solitary creatures and fiercely territorial, although Sharpe said, 'The released mink are captive bloodlines, meaning they have had no genetic or behavioural selection for wild conditions. They are conditioned to the safety of pens and regular feeding." The vandalism at Rippin's farm has had an effect on all farms and related businesses in the area, and all have taken additional security measures. Some have installed major warning and protection devices, although for obvious reasons, The Star will not publish details about these. In addition, farmers and rural residents are watching closely for suspicious vehicles and activities." THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 29.1995 28 Agrifair bailout funds found once again BCIT first-year student Amy Elissa Howitt (right) was awarded a BCIT President's Entrance Award by Gerry Moss, acting president. Howitt, a student in the Financial Management program, was one of the 120 top students whose outstanding academic achievements were recognized by industry and faculty during the Celebration of Success Luncheon and Entrance Awards Ceremony on October 18. By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - City CoutaM •* has voted to give the Central Fraser Valley Fairs Association, organizers of Agrifair, a grant-in-aid of $100,000 to cover losses for this year's fair. ' The' requesLjy^s^origina 11 v made to council on October 5u,— but deferred pending the receipt of financial statements from the organization. At the November 20 meeting the request was again deferred pending receipt of a revised, more comprehensive five year plan for the fair's financial future. Jim Cox, Vice president of the CFVFA issued a press release to council in which he outlined proposed changes to the fair. He stated that die goal of fair organizers is 'to provide a quality family event that is financially self sufficient, and we plan to become British Columbia's largest agricultural fair by the year 2001.' Plans include expanding livestock and trade and consumer shows, Agri-education programs, and youth programs in addition to maintaining the traditional family favourites - the rodeo, mechanical acts, dog, poultry and rabbit shows? petting farm and midway._ They will not be having stage entertainment in the Rotary Stadium, one of Uie biggest money losing events this year. They are also looking into adding one more day to the four day event. What really concerned council however was the previous $200,000 loan made lo the (air, payback of which was not included in Uie budget. They were also concerned how another $100,000 expenditure would affect the city's budget. Cox said this financial plan, although not Uie actual budget for next year, shows a projected prof it of $67,000, and that they are prepared to give council half of that as payment towards the loan. "This is not an additional grant, and we're not asking for a waiver, but we have accounts payable that have to be paid. Il is our intent to repay the loan as JKgsn as we can, possibly starting ncM^^t^rhc-iHW1.'- ' —«'-—— -Wtta£ Councillor Ken Funk, who voted against the motion, said he is concerned about being made to feel guilty about not spending over $300,000 of taxpayers money. "How can we casually turn over $357,000?" he asked. "Other municipalities have done this, 'Stetson gate' is one example, and look what happened. I won't feel guilty about refusing this request." The grant-in-aid was opposed by Councillors Funk, Wendy Lee, and Simon Gibson. George Peary was absent from the meeting. New names to old streets By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - The city is planning to change similar sounding street names that could cause confusion in the event of an emer- geucf;:'; Earlier this year the city changed identical street names in the former districts of Abbotsford and Matsqui and now, for safety and convenience reasons, are changing more. The list was made up in consultation with emergency services, and used the criteria adopted by Joint Council in 1994. This includes changing the name with the fewest addresses, keeping Uie name of the street that has had it the longest, not changing the names of streets with major commercial enterprises unless the comparable street has more residences, keeping the names of long continuous streets with more than one name, and involving homeowners in the selection of new street names. Council approved the proposed changes, and authorized the move towards public involvement with one slight amendment. Councillor Simon Gibson suggested that when they rename Park Street, on which the police station is situated, they include the unnamed access road which runs direcdy into Park Street from South Fraser Highway. Proposed changes include: changing Park Street'possibly to Civic Street; changing Abbotsford's Riverside Road, Matsqui's Old Riverside Road, and not using River in any other combination'when it comes to street naming; changing Abbotsford's Miraun Crescent; and changing Matsqui's Fore Road. There will be no changes to Straiton Road, Clayburn Road and Old Clayburn road for historical purposes; and no changes to Fraser Street, South Fraser Way and Fraser Highway, because people generally refer to these streets by their full name. | LAND DISPOSITION In Land Recording District of New Westminster and situated at Langley, B.C.

The city is concerned about the paving and reconstruction of Ward Road and having ihe operation comply wilh current city bylaws, including the Soil Removal and Deposit Bylaw which has been approved by the Ministry. Council approved the February 6 motion to communicate with the Ministry regarding Ihe concerns of residents and their own requirements .for compliance wilh all current bylaws, and were assured that concerns would be looked into and lhat the operation would comply. The Ministry, after a Public Information meeting, a hydrogeo-. logical study by Lcvelton. AsspcL-', atcs, and a 'Recommendation for a Production Blast Design' by SRK-Robinson Inc., came up will) a list of special recommendations for the project. The list includes mining in phases, progressively reclaiming the site in phases, limiting hours of operation, dust control, and structural surveys of residences within 600 metres prior to on-site blasting. Councillor Ken Funk moved that the application be approved subject to the special conditions, which brought boos from the audience. However, there was much disagreement around the table. Councillor Wendy Lee said that tiiere is currently no plan for Uie development of Sumas Moun- flTaWiijAiUlaaijraaifWwyiffi'irliltfnrifi^V11^0- °r '.'iAai^Jv'iit'mi' xrac, ami moved to defer the motion until a long term plan for gravel and quarry operations on the mountain can be put in place. The deferral passed, which brought loud cheers from the audience. Councillors Brad Boyse, Chuck Wiebe and Funk were opposed. Jack Robertson was absent from the meeting. Councillor Boyse questioned whether they have a right to defer the motion considering that a mining operation is a proper land use under the current zoning, and was told by Mayor George Ferguson that they do. Lee then moved lo have staff, in consultation with industry, initiate a study of the size, number and location of rock quarries on the mountain. Councillor Wiebe called the idea of a plan 'a joke.' "The applicant has met all (he provincial and city parameters," he said. "This is not a practical decision, it is a political one. A plan should have been done a long time ago." This statement brought thunderous applause and calls of 'Hear, Hear!' from the audience. A representative from the Ministry told council that they cannot prohibit the extraction of gravel through mining because it falls under provincial jurisdiction, but they can regulate it and collect fees for soil removal. This statement brought boos from the audience, and negative comments about the NDP. At that point Councillor Boyse noted again that, under the zoning, mining is a permitted land use and said council is making itself look'goofy,' which brought snickers from the crowd. The motion lo move ahead with the study passed, despite the opposition of Boyse, Funk and .Wiebe, which brought still more 1 VI 4*4 < * > 4 4 4 4.4 4 4 4 L rt t i ♦ t 4; 44 4 4 1 'chders from'the'aiKu.encc',* * More money for library Manning puts White on crime LANGLEY - The township has authorized coun. Muriel Arnason to approve a 2.48 percent increase in the 1995 regional library levy, as well as an extension of operating hours at the Aldergrove and Walnut Grove branches. Langley city will be asking for a zero increase. Coun. Trudi Campen said that holding back money only means reduced operating hours, as most of the budget goes to salaries. This, in turn, has caused complaints from the public about the cut in operating hours of library branches. The increase would cost the township about $40,000, although Arnason noted that a proposahfrorii Delta to change the library assessment to a population based formula would save the township about $42,000 a year. Delta, which has threatened separation from the Fraser Valley Regional Library board, would save about $216,000 and Langley city about $32,000, while the cost would increase for Abbotsford and several oilier members. OTTAWA - MP Randy White has been moved from public works critic for the Reform party to solicitor-general, in an effort to put more emphasis on the need for criminal justice reform. . .•£&£!& Reform leader Preston Manning said White worked himself out of a job in public works by denouncing the controversial activities of embattled minister David Dingwall. Dingwall's imminent departure from the portfolio has been widely predicted. "We fell it's just a matter of time before the public works minister is shuffled into at least a less politically embarrassing portfolio, so we want to put Randy's skills to work in criminal justice - an area of tremendous importance not only in his riding, but for British Columbians, and Canadians," Manning said. The Fraser Valley West MP said his first priority will be victims' rights. 'It's time this government paid more than lip service to the sad sate of affairs that puts the criminal's rights ahead of the victim's. We intend to change that," White said. White joins current critics Art Hanger and Garry Breitkreuz. «**t5t*k THE PADDOCK Stormproof cracked wax oilskin Twill lined Brass zipper Leather trim Small - XL SALE nm ONLY $AA99 Wind/or UJcor "FLEECE" Combination • 87%cotton/13%poly • Generous fit • Button closure seat • Red & Green • Small - XL SALE m Available in tops & bottoms ■eWORKWEKR AK WORLD' Not exactly as illustrated, j tt ui o z 3 35 *3 Willowbrook Shopping Centre LANGLEY 2133-3778 •* 56th premie 10211* - 56 Avenue 533-1647 NE HOURS: ' 9am-9pm Countryside?
