•m ^-^^^x^f: '^o? 'NO CHOICE" BUT TO DRILL? Garbage dumping stinks out neighbors MATSQUI - Neighbors of a mined-out gravel pit have taken their battle against waste dumping on the site to municipal hall. And mayor Dave Kandal told them that the government is on their side and will work to make the property owners fulfill legal safety obligations. The site at the corner of LeFeuvre and Montessina Roads is owned by Wayne Kuypers of Aztec Nursery, and his efforts at establishing a horticultural business have the full support of neighbors. However, his attempts at composting trucked-in wastes look and smell foul, say the neighbors. In late May the first loads of shredded papers anived, but this was soon followed by unsavory loads of industrial waste brought in by Recovery One of Richmond. Complaints from residents brought the municipality and police down, who ordered a stop to the dumping, June 27. The environment ministry has also been involved in an investigation. Shannon Gough of Montessina Crescent said their family found just about i everything imaginable in the piles of garbage, including* a handful of used hypodermic needles that she showed to The Star. "We have no beef with composting if it's done right," said Gough. She pointed out that a neighboring company, Answer brings in waste, including fish wastes, and in 18 days have turned around to produce good compost. However, Gough said Answer has worked diligently to meet the demands of neighbors, and have agreed to install a new biofilter to reduce odors, among other measures. Aztec has been ordered to screen the waste and remove the offensive wastes that are not compostable. Said Gough, "We'd really like to give them a chance Gas secrecy bugs Campen MURRAYVILLE - "Open meetings should not be held behind closed doors," Aid. Trudi Campen complained Monday night. The Aldergrove alderwoman said council should "express dissatisfaction (with the provincial government) with the way things are going." The mines ministry should be listening to protests concerning the drilling for natural gas in* the lower mainland, she added. Instead, protest groups had been excluded from a joint govern ment-industry committee now considering the controversial issue. "They have no choice but to let the drilling go ahead," Aid. John Campbell added somberly. Campen has been sitting on the committee, but said she was upset with having to "wear more than one hat" in this position: that of an elected representative and that of someone opposed to the drilling. Langley council has consistently gone on record as being against the drilling proposal. Popular instructor Tom Hudson will at materials of the physical world, Design presents the telecourse September. See story, page 10. to do a good job and be good neighbors. It would be just great to look out and see something good being done with that property. But if there's going to be composting it has to be done the right way, and on a concrete pad, so there's no damage done to the water table and the two streams here. All of us depend on well water and we cannot afford to take any chances. We have tested out really good water."

Rough and rowdy shop gets grilling Sign crusader confounds MURRAYVILLE - Councilors listened patiently as a lone anti- sign crusader told them his life story Monday night. Maurice VanderBeke said he has been dubbed Langley's resident -"chainsaw tenorist" and after he had told how he came from Belgium to Afghanistan and somewhere along the way met and married his Canadian wife, he recounted with pride how he had in one day only taken down 110 signs in the township. VanderBeke, who said he was "not against progress", does not seem to discriminate when it comes to ' the signs he targets: real estate, farm produce, service signs and more, all fall for his chainsaw onslaughts. It matters little if they are posted on public or private property. At one time, VanderBeke was hauled before a provincial judge, who told him that the relentless campaign would have to stop. He is' dauntless, however, in his battle against the "sign pollution" that is engulfing the community. VanderBeke said he has "been assaulted" and endured insults and ridicule during his journey through life in the Fraser Valley. His wife and family, too, have suffered the pains of being related to a "chainsaw terrorist", but he carries on. "I dont approve of your approach going around with a chainsaw," acting . mayor, Aid. Steve Ferguson commented somberly after VanderBeke had finished his tale. ALDERGROVE - His business premises are dilapidated and his customers are not all upstanding citizens, but Mike Brooks feels that he's getting harsher treatment from the authorities than he really deserves. Brooks, 40, has operated Ace Sports Cards on Fraser Highway for the past 18 months, but is having trouble getting approval of his business licence. Langley township has set up an August 4 meeting between him and his neighbors to determine whether or not to close down the pool hall-arcade-retail shop. He showed The Star a thick file of complaints against his business that the township bylaw enforcement officer has drawn up. Included are complaints from neighboring businesses and the RCMP, and Brooks has been told to bring his lawyer along to the meeting. Brooks said he's been operating on a shoestring, but says he's no diferent from anyone else trying to get by.- However, he said that doesn't mean he'll break any laws, treat his neighbors badly or allow his customers to run amuck. The complaints have been over noise, loitering, loud abusive language, hours of operation, kids urinating in the alleys, and that Brooks . sells cigarettes to minors. Brooks responded that he no longer stocks cigarettes, and that he polices the store and front to ensure that wild antics aren't going on. He also barred seven kids from the premises for not following his rules and he feels the message is sinking in with the kids. "I don't have a washroom, but I'm not a restaurant," said Brooks. "Besides, I don't want kids taking advantage of my washroom by doing or dealing drugs or alcohol. I want to be able to see what they're doing at all times when they're in here." He said the kids can use washrooms at neighboring food establishments, and these places benefit by selling these kids food and drinks. "The kids have to have places to go, but it's not a hangout. As long as they're spending money I'll stay open, even if it's midnight or 1 a.m. After all, the restaurants stay open that late on weekends, why not me too?" He has four video games and two pool tables, which are permitted uses in the store at 27108 Fraser Highway. He also sells sports cards, and has started selling used CD's and tapes. "Someday I'll have the right combination," he says of his experiments in providing himself a living. A father'of seven and a grandfather, he has a wife and two children at home to support, and his career in the automotive trade was not paying well enough lately. He has taken BCIT courses in business law and marketing, among other things, and went into business for the first time. He says he's still learning, but is anxious to get along with his neighbors.

JULY 23. 1992 Ministry alters council VICTORIA - The provincial energy ministry has responded to complaints over the new Langley Citizens Advisory Council with a number of changes to the council's operation. The council will pursue public consultation, and public disclosure of its workings, in an agreement made July 17 between the ministry and natural gas exploration • company, Conoco Canada. Concerns over the council had been expressed by the anti-drilling lobby group, Friends of the Fraser Valley. elude bringing a representative of the Friends of the Fraser Valley, appointed by minister Anne Edwards' office, to the advisory council. This offer was rejected by the Friends. Other changes are publication of the names of the council members, publication of minutes of the council meetings in local media, and that prior to drilling, the council will be made aware of the energy ministry's drilling approval process, comments of the referral agencies, and the specific conditions of approval placed on the drilling of each Revisions to the council in- well. Meetings open to public LANGLEY - The meetings of the Citizens' Advisory Council have been opened to the public, ■ provided that protesters do not disturb the agendas of the meetings. The council is providing input on the controversial natural gas exploratory drilling program proposed for two sites in Langley township. Don Jalbert, a landman With Dynamic Oil, told The Star that the public is invited to attend the meetings and will be allowed written questions at the' end of each meeting. However, if there's another eruption of name-calling as seen at the energy ministry's open house earlier this month, "The ministry won't put up with it." "Hopefully we all get to dance," commented Jalbert, "but if not, we'll take away the jukebox." He was referring to members of the Friends of the Owner gets hearing... From front... with the hours to suit him. Sometimes he's open at 10 or 11 a.m., and he closes whenever the business is slow. He turns on the jukebox only when the neighboring stores aren't busy. "I screwed up once when I first got the jukebox; the kids kept turning up the volume that day. But I wish my neighbor had told me to turn it down or off instead of complaining to the RCMP. There was no need, I would have done that for them." "The kids have to behave inside and out front. No abusive behavior. But it's not my fault that these kids exist or act badly sometimes. They'll do the things they'll do whether or not this store exists. I'm trying my best, they should give me a chance." THE GREATEST SYSTEM IN THE VALLEY IS COMING TO ALDERGROVE!!

The first meeting is set for Thursday, July 23, 7 to 9=30 p.m. at the Langley Conference Centre. The agenda calls for ministry staff to explain the referral process and discuss the comments made by other government agencies. The second meeting is July 30, same time and place, and ministry staff will review with the council the draft approval and permit conditions. After each, 30 minutes are set aside for the written questions and responses. Jalbert also provided minutes of their July 9 meeting to The Star. A copy is available at The Star's front desk for the public to peruse. Members of the council are \6 people representing various interests in the industry and community. Eight are residents and include Ken Summers, Milt Stein, Garry Kenwood, Leon Lahay, Sandy Nellis, Mike Frost, municipal alderman Trudi Cam- pen and Langleys municipal emergency program co-ordinator Frank Clegg. Four are from Conoco, and are Orest Humeniuk, Daniel Gatto, Hector Desaulnier and Dave Holowachuk. From Dynamic are Laurie Grimson and Jalbert, and representing the ministry is Ken Kindjerski. The 16th member's name has not been announced yet,- and the Friends declined an offer to have a representative on the council. Jalbert said the "resident" councilors were screened for impartiality, and it will be their job to provide local input while they learn about the proposed program.

Ray Scott brought out the cheque, and 110 year old George Ives proudly acepted it, Saturday, on behalf of residents of the longterm care home. Pruden added that the manor's yard sale, Friday, raised another $1,300 for the new bus. Many local organizations have raised funds towards the bus. Scott said the non-government Seniors' Lottery has many demands placed on it since the demise of government funded programs like New Horizons and Go BC, but that "buses are our favorite thing... bus applications are almost assured grants." Money is raised by selling lottery tickets and more than $3-million has been handed out in the past ten years of the lottery, or "475 to 55% of the money that comes in." The rest goes to prizes and sellers' commissions. "Your chances of winning can't be beat," in the draws, said Scott. -Kurt Langmann photo New sexual harassment policy gets approval MURRAYVILLE - A 'sexual harassment policy' has been adopted by municipal council here at a closed meeting on July 6. Policy will encourage municipal employees who feel that they have been subjected to sexual harassment to bring their cases before management before they complain to the union. "I feel it could have been done better," commented Aid. Muriel Arnason. There should have been a third party to hear the complaints, she said, in that many people were "too shy" to bring forth the grievances themselves. Fire destroys new church LANGLEY - A Sunday morning fire caused an estimated $100,000 damage to the Christ the King Catholic Church on 48 Avenue.

JULY 23. 1992 Township told to regulate bird cannons instead of banning them MURRAYVILLE - Regulations rather than an outright ban. on the use of noisy 'scarecrows' by blueberry farmers would be the way to go, a provincial ministry official told aldermen here Monday night. There has been a public outcry from neighbors of at least one Langley berry farm who have demanded that the gas-fired 'bird cannons' be outlawed. The farmers could instead spread nets over the bushes to keep the birds away, the protesters have contended. "Are nets better?" asked Aid.' John Campbell. "They are very, very expensive," Sands said. "We have to be realistic. The economics are not there, so let us work together." Sands, .himself an Aldergrove resident, told councilors amid outbursts from the visitors' gallery that it is extremely important to sustain agriculture in the Fraser Valley in the face of encroaching urbanization. Only five percent of British Columbia's land mass is classified as agricultural, he pointed out, and it is necessary to retain this major Canadian bread basket. "Let's work together," he pleaded. "We've had it," interjected a woman in the audience. The noise of the scare devices that go off intermittently from dawn to dusk, seven days a week and six months a year, is just unbearable, the complainants said. Councilors, nevertheless, unanimously decided to intro duce a bylaw not outlawing but later have to be fine-tuned, they regulating the devices. Bylaw will said. Monopoly objected to MURRAYVILLE - It is a total monopoly, and it is totally unfair, an Aldergrove tow truck operator told aldermen here Monday night. Allan Quiring - told council members how he had been trying to get a share of the lucrative towing business in the township, but all he had been getting was "the runaround by the municipality and the police." The municipality has awarded a contract to a different towing company, and every time a vehicle has to be hauled away from an accident scene, the police phone that particular company. Quiring said he had even been called by the owner of a car, but by the time he showed up, the police constable had already called the other company and he could not touch the vehicle. More than 80 percent of the towing business is paid for by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., he said. Instead of creating a monopoly situation, the business should be shared by everyone in the industry, perhaps on a rotational basis, Quiring said. Methane to be examined MURRAYVILLE - Langley township will be hiring the consulting firm of E.H.Hanson and Associates to conduct an engineering study and prepare a report on "methane generation, emissions and migration" at the old Jackman dump in south Aldergrove. Study will cost the municipality $21,500. "Where will the methane go? Where will it migrate to? And are we just going to burn it off?" asked Aid. Muriel Arnason. A municipal engineer answered that the quantities were insufficient to warrant commercial application of the gas. Methane gas is expected to seep through the ground from the buried dump for many years to come. MAKE 1992 THE YEAR FOR THE MOST INVESTMENT YOU'LL EVER MAKE! THIS IS NOT A SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT.

JULY 23. 1992 m Middle class uneasy about future prospects in a changing world NEWBURGH, N.Y. - As Gail Fedigan, a 44-year-old mother of four, sits in her brick Tudor home in this Hudson Valley town on a quiet afternoon, her world seems comfortable and secure. Her husband is working steadily as a lighting technician and, while some of his extra freelance work has dried up, there is no family financial crisis on the horizon Still, things dont seem quite right to Fedigan anymore. Something has gone wrong in her America, and she is battering down the hatches, slashing her plans for the future. "There is a feeling that the rug has been pulled out from under all of us," Fedigan says worriedly. "Everyone I know feels the same way." Certainly, Joan Slocum, a 58-year-old Newburgh art instructor, and her. husband Kenneth, a 62-year-old independent trucker, do. They have raised and married off their . three children, and Kenneth's business is going well. But Joan is increasingly uncertain about health costs, retirement and her children's future. They have just canceled their medical insurance because of skyrocketing premiums for the self-employed. "Everybody's a lot more cautious, and is playing it a lot closer to the vest," she says. "I don't know how the middle class is handling all of this. I dont think it's fair." Henry David Thoreau once wrote that the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Now, it seems that the middle class is getting more and more desperate - and is in no mood to keep quiet about it. In Newburgh and towns like it all across the United States, public opinion polls, political pulse-takers and scholars report that the middle class is increasingly uneasy about the future. Even relatively affluent families such as the Fedigans and Slocums, who have not been directly hurt by the recession, are giving voice to a vague, yet growing sense that the walls are closing in. Options are becoming more limited, they feel, and their children's generation will inherit a society in which prosperity is problematic and opportunity far from assured. "Americans have always expected their lives to be better than thek parents'," observes Columbia University historian Alan Brinkley. "That belief is a mainstay of middle class culture. And I think the experiences of the last 20 years, and more immediately this past year, have shaken that belief. Some of that pessimism may wane with a recovery, but I do think there has been a deeper change in the level of optimism about the future." Indeed, upward mobility, which once seemed to be the birthright of the middle class, now appears to many Americans to be an increasingly distant goal. So does the time honored tradition of helping the next generation move ahead. The rising costs of health care and college tuition, the growing uncertainty over the security of pensions, soaring local taxes, an inadequate day care system, declining home values, the growing worry that few jobs can still be considered permanent - all contribute to a sense of being overwhelmed. That angst has helped make this recession feel so much worse to many North Americans than the bare economic statistics might suggest. In dramatic testimony to Congress last month, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan warned Congress of that grim mood in stark, even historic terms. "There is a deep-seated concern out there, which I must say to you I have not seen in my lifetime," the 65-year-old Greenspan said. Consumer confidence plunged to the lowest level recorded in more than a decade in November, and skidded to the third-lowest monthly rating ever, according to the Conference Board, a New York" research group. In addition, a Newsweek magazine poll found in October that 53 percent of Americans are now worried about thek ability to maintain their current standard of living given the current state of the economy. Observes Wall Street economist Lawrence Kudlow: "There's no animal spirits, no juice to get this economy moving." Yet the depth of the fear suggests that there is something more going on than a simple response to a cyclical downturn. In fact, the Conference Board has found that American expectations about the future, as measured by its consumer confidence index, are now lower than at any point in the severe recession of the early 1980s. Even America's victory in the Gulf War and the West's triumph over communism in the Cold War have failed to generate any lasting optimism. A November poll by CBS News and the New York Times found that 43 percent of those surveyed believe that future generations will be worse off than Americans are today. "There's a helplessness that is layered on top of the recognition that current economic conditions are not good,* observes the Conference Board's Jason Bram. The White House acknowledged recently that the nation is still in a OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK IN ALDERGROVE..- jy&iLL- 4, recession, although administration officials have repeatedly pointed to data that indicates the slump has been quite mild. They point out that the unemployment rate, now at 6.8 percent, is far lower than the levels of the last recession. They add that inflation, which has fallen to a rate of just 2.9 percent so far this year, seems to have been all but defeated. Outside analysts argue that the data has failed to detect important distinctions that make people feel under constant pressure, no matter how the White House describes the economy. "These are very rational concerns that people have," Bram argues. "Nothing looks secure. There is no feeling of progress." A key indicator is that middle class incomes have stagnated over the last decade, leaving a majority of Americans facing a worsening cost squeeze even during good economic times and lower levels of inflation. The middle fifth of American taxpayers, for example, saw thek incomes rise by only three percent, after inflation, between 1980 and 1990, and those gains came largely from working longer hours, according to a new study by the Progressive Policy Institute, a research group affiliated with the Democratic party. And while job losses were much worse in the recession of the early 1980s than they have been in the current downturn, they were mainly confined to blue-collar workers in Rust Belt manufacturing industries. This time, the losses have cut a wide swath through the salaried middle class in service and manufacturing industries alike, and in virtually all sections of the nation And they have hit at solid companies like IBM, which once seemed recession proof. The message to many middle class workers is that no matter how solid or successful thek careers have been thus far, they could be shattered at any moment by forces outside thek control. Want a lift in my lettuce? By ERIC BAILEY LONDON - When in the early 'eighties, the Japanese car company Colt imported a model called the Starion, a story rapidly arose concerning the genesis of the name. The story had it that a Japanese, executive had been dispatched to the West to check on what kind of names appealed to the macho men who might go for this model. Among the list of mumbo-jumbo offered was Stallion ... the Colt Stallion. It sounded good. The executive phoned Japan. "Risten carefurry," he said. "New car must be carred Starion" Sadly the story of the Starion now turns out to be apocryphal, though it was faintly encouraged at the car's launch because it was more fun than the truth In fact, the name came from the Star Orion range of engines Colt were using at the time. Today the writing is on the wall for macho names, and name generators are thinking ecological. "We sell a minicar in Japan," says an industry spokesman. "It's small, very 'green' and you can buy it through supermarkets. It's called the Lettuce." Baby, you can drive my lettuce. It's bad, definitely worse than Starion. LETTERS Build Canada under God Editor, The Star, Sk, Should the preamble in the Canadian Constitution include the statement "Canada upholds the Supremacy of God"? As the Constitution is being rewritten, so also is the preamble. The above questions begs an answer from Canadians. What authority do we as Canadians want to live under? A nation holding on to biblical values, or a dismissal of Canada's recognition of God's authority? The answer to this question will be a reflection of who we are. Canada's answer will come when individuals- collectively speak out. If as citizens, demanding our rights and the pleasures of the moment, at the expense of future, generations, is the most important issue to us, than we have chosen a path which will result in chaos. To include "the supremacy of God" for this choice is hypocrisy. Because recognizing Him means recognizing His great commandment "Love your neighbor as yourself. When individuals insist that neither God nor the Bible has a place in our decision making, they are really saying that thek rights supersede God's claim of Supremacy over our life. Most of the past 125 years of nation building was characterized by a recognition of biblical truths and values. Times however have changed and are changing. Some may content that this change is for the better. I submit to you that these changes have been for the worse, and that there are many cunent social and economic factors to back this up. If we reject or ignore the laws given us by God- for our protection and responsible conduct of life, we do so at our peril. How will Canada be identified in the preamble of the re-written Constitution'' Your choice, your Canada. My choice, and the choice of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada includes the recognition of the supremacy of God for the sake of our children, the nation of the future. Let's build Canada properly, as a nation under God. E. VANWOUDENBERG 6369 Sundance Drive Surrey THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

Companies such- as Hub Sports, Rainbow Marine, The Outdoor Store, Western Canoeing and Robinson Outboards have all reserved booths, many of them taking more square footage than in the inaugural show this past spring.

Fred Helmer of Fred's Custom Tackle said, "This show started off with a bang and I believe it will only get better." Troy Renneke of Troy's Tackle concurs with . Helmer. He explained, "The Fraser Valley show attracted more active fishermen than f;.ny other show we've attended." Some of the most popular features of the 1992 show will return in '93 including the Kid's .Fishing Pond, Dog Obedience Training, Master Fisherman presentations and of course the many contests and giveaways awarded to lucky show attendees. "We received valuable feedback from both visitors and exhibitors during the first show and discovered that by adding more top-line manufacturers and reconfiguring some of the exhibit space, the show will be even better for next spring," explained Guerin. "In fact, it'll be 50% larger," he added. Show organizers have not yet begun to • actively market the show yet are fielding enquiries daily. It appears as though the Fraser Valley finally has a show that it can call its own.

Conair Midgets take provincial silver ABBOTSFORD - The Conair Midget "A" boys softball team playing Under the Abbotsford Matsqui Minor Softball Association shocked provincial pundits by not only achieving silver, but within a whisker of gold and a trip to the national finals in August in Ottawa. The Sooke Windjammers behind the steady and awesome hurling of Dwayne Isaak held off the charging Abbotsford squad in the noon semi-final on Sunday and held on to a 2-0 victory in the semi-final, game despite each pitcher having 8 strike outs. This was Conair's first loss in the double knock-out format and sent the Abby first year youngsters to play the giant killers, 100 Mile House who had earlier that day eliminated the top seeded senior Abbotsford squad. 6'4" Tim Harris of 100 Mile was set to start his third consecutive game in the 38 degree heat and sparkled to contain Conair for '8 innings when Abby D.H. Brian L'Henf cranked a solo shot round tripper over the center field fence for the most dramatic ending to the seven games played so far. The victory was met with an emotional flood of excitement as the prospect of gold was very attainable. Coaches John Teich- rob and Don McCarron quickly brought the boys together for nourishment and strategy as they were not only going to meet a well-rested Sooke team but they were fighting to stay fresh in the blistering heat of a shadeless ball park in Vernon. The championship game commenced immediately and was a 1-1 affair until the sixth when after 10 consecutive innings, Brian Kingman ran out of gas and allowed a three run triple off an errant rise ball that failed to hop. Pitching partner, the sixteen year old Colin Teichrob who shared the mound duties equally, came in to stop the gap- to allow Conair to add one more run. The final score was 6-2 for Sooke and they advance to the Canadian nationals in Nepean, Ontario. Conair was second to Sooke in the round robin games as well. Sooke finished with 4 wins, no losses while Conair finished with 3 wins and 1 loss for second place. Conair achieved this by defeating the host team, Vernon Royals 10-1.

BRITISH COLUMBIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY THE ALDERGROVE STAB. JULY 23. 1992 Conair takes the silver... From page 7...- Vernon rolled out the red carpet. The umpiring was exceptionally good and the weather was typical summer heat which made each athlete dig a litde deeper for the inner strength needed to perform. Listed in the order of finish were Sooke, Abbotsford Conair, 100 Mile House, Kamloops, Port Alberni, Abbotsford's Mieru Wildcats, Comox Valley, Cordova Bay, Williams Lake, Vernon Royals and North Delta. Aside from the strong pitching duo of \6 year old Colin Teich- rob and 18 year old Brian Kingman., the batting prowess of super catcher Maury Chalmers and equally super short stop, Kenny Smith were constant. The defensive abilities of 2nd baseman Patrick McCarron, playing hurt, and the lightning quick right fielder Theo Underwood were exceptional. The center field general of the tourny had to be Abby*s Barry Krahn who had a phenomenal on-base average as the lead-off man. The defensive bunt capabilities of. Michael Rumsby on third base and the defensive agility of the 6'4" Jeff (Huge) De Witt at right field. The calm inner strength of first baseman James Penner who doesn't knov the word pressure and as previously mentioned the clutch hitting of Brian L'Henf almost rounds out the team exept that at every game and always jeering was team member Marvin Reimer who had a broken right hand suffered just two weeks before the end of the season and was unable to play but his inspiration was infectious and a key factor in this litde team that could. Are you ready to roll for MSl bike tour? VANCOUVER - "To roll or not to roll — there is no question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to ride alone in the fight against multiple sclerosis or to gather one's friends as a team to enjoy an afternoon of cycling, entertainment, and great food — we'll let you decide." We may not be Shakespeare but we too know how to take an idea and make it work. On a midsummer's afternoon, at Riley Park in Vancouver, that idea will become the third annual MS Bike Tour. On Sunday, August 16, join Norm Grohman and' the undefeated Vancouver 86'ers to help defeat multiple sclerosis by raising money and awareness for this debilitating disease. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system and is the greatest cause of disability among young adults between the ages of 20 to 40. The Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to raising money to fund research and service programs for people with MS and their families. So come on out and "pedal with a purpose" with Norm Grohman and our 86'ers. In addition to riders, the MS Society also needs volunteers or if supporters are interested in sponsoring riders, more information will be provided by calling the MS Society at 437- 3244.

Soccer club ready to celebrate complex By GEORGE GREATBANKS ALDERGROVE - On the heels of last weeks announcement that the juvenile arm of the Aldergrove Soccer Club had come to an agreement with the Parks Board to convert Brown Road Park into a semi Mini- soccer complex, comes news of plans to celebrate the conversion by a grand opening on Saturday) September 12th 1992. The club has chosen this date, which is the official launching of the 1992/93 soccer season, for several reasons, not least of which is to welcome all their new member families to the club as well as to culminate a promotion • currently in the works. The club is combining with Lenarduzzi International Sports and the Vancouver 86's in a joint promotional venture centering around the club membership and the 86's "Home" game on the following day, September 13th. Final details have yet to be worked out, but among the days activities will be a series of skill tests for the young players, non-competitive, with all participants receiving something for their effort, What that something is, has yet to be determined. Hopefully there will be personal appearances by members of the 86's staff, a draw for prizes tied into this joint promotion and clinics should be ' ongoing for new and old coaches alike. As was said eadier, details are sketchy at this point, but that the event will take place is a cast iron certainty. Player Development Clinics: As many of you akeady know, the Aldergrove Soccer Club is sponsoring coaching clinics for their young players, featuring the "Bob Moss Soccer School". These sessions will take place at the South Aldergrove Park during several weeks in August. Bob comes to Aldergrove with great ; press revues. He is a. former,s$aff- trainer with the provincial body, the B.C. Youth Soccer Association, on top of that he was a professional coach in South Africa before coming to Canada to join the coaching staff of the Vancouver Whitecaps. He has been actively involved in youth soccer at club level since 1984 and published a pocketbook of soccer drills, that is standard •equipment with many youth coaches. Further details on these schools can be obtained from George at 852-8828, or Norm at 856-8376, or from the Bob Moss School direct at 224-3827. It promises to be a fun time for the players, with boys and girls aged from 5 to 13 years being welcome. There is also a planned goalkeeping clinic in week 3 #1, that aspiring keepers may want to avail themselves of. Club and team support - Finally a word about sponsorship. Juvenile sport relies heavily on thek fund raising activities, Aldergrove Soccer is no different. Sometime during August, a drive will take place to solicit local 'merchants and businesses as club sponsors, in monetary amounts they are comfortable with, no amount is too small. Some sponsors wish to remain anonymous, for obvious reasons, others however, want thek names published and even attached to particular teams. Already the club has several teams which incorporate business names into their team names and the contributions of these corporations make life much easier for the club, who are constandy striving to keep costs down in order that the registration fees stay within reach of all kids who wish to play. If you, or anybody you know, would like to become involved in the manner outlined, please call George at 852-8828, the children of Aldergrove will be forever grateful. ..^Vi!

Signed: Faithful to the end. ***** wife Dear Annabelle, I don't know why my wrote that letter about our neighbour. Just because that gal' is a great cook doesn't mean my eyes are wandering. The way to my stomach has always been great cake but this is ridiculous. Signed; Gourmet in the dog house. ***** Dear Annabelle, Where my wife got the notion I that I had any intentions towards! the lady next door I will never I know. For one thing her I husband outweighs me by 75 lbs. and is in better shape. As much! as I like her cake I would be al fool to get involved. My wife ] doesn't understand me. Signed: The boob next door. ***** Dear Annabelle, I would like you to know, just for the record, that people make and give me things all the time. I get eggs, vegetables, fruit (in season) chickens and even the odd lamb roast. However, I have never had a cake made for me by any of my neighbours! I think our life of abstinence and vow of poverty has completely turned my wife into a babbling idiot. Signed: Reverend Bob. ***** Gentlemen please, I never thought one litde letter about Daisy, the master-baker would .raise all this fuss. But please, don't work yourselves into a lather or you'll wind up hotter- . than an afternoon barbecue in August. Speaking of barbecues — stay away from them, especially if they're held at your neighbour's house. Love, Annabelle. Star readers are invited to mail in tbeir questions or problems to ASK ANNABELLE.

It was a most generous contribution and will go a long way to help us out with our gas needs. Many thanks, Ladies. Now that my husband and I only have a few days left, before we leave for Armstrong we'd like to see a couple take our place in the Citizen Crime Watch Patrol here in Aldergrove. Apart from the worthwhile work we do for our community we make wonderful friends of all walks of life. It has been a privilege and honour to work with these people and the different members of the RCMP. The group work with and train under the Crime Prevention Unit of the RCMP, but while out on patrol we work with the "Night Watch". A few nights out will be a great eye opener for anyone who thinks that Aldergrove is "Crime Free". The RCMP and the Patrol need all the help they can get as even with the two groups out, we cant be everywhere at the same time, thus the problem. Please give thought to joining this group as the more mobile units we have on the street the better the coverage. Please phone the non-emergency number for the RCMP and ask for the Crime Prevention Unit. You are needed and you could be on patrol within a month. A community effort of standing up and doing something will pay off. As I'm living amid a million boxes just now and swear that after we setde in "up North" il never want to see another box again. While daily packing things away, I know that the time has come to pack the old typewriter away for safe transit. May I take this time and space to thank the staff at the Aldergrove Star for the faithful space for this column over the years: We have had our heads together many times over the Fall Fak Book and the many other jobs that The Star has brought to you. All the best to The Star, the Aldergrove Fall Fair and our Legion, of which we both have spent many wonderful and great times. Once we get setded in I'll drop word down to The Star on living in Armstrong.

Reform party to open office here ALDERGROVE - The Reform party is looking at opening thek Fraser Valley West campaign office in Aldergrove shortly. Chris Wiebe, campaign manager for candidate Randy White, is negotiating a lease here as the community is central to the riding. White is administrator of Abbotsford school district and has built a strong team there from among his many friends and supporters. However, Langley is also part of the riding, and the Aldergrove location is seen as a good compromise for the campaign workers from both sides. Party publicist Al Mathieson said the interest appears to be high, as some 60 people showed up Saturday morning to discuss strategy for the upcoming federal election.

Burden of Desire by Robert MacNeil Sneaking of (Books A Book Review by Ken Lang Disaster and Desire in Halifax Julia Robertson is the key figure. Young, beautiful and sensuous, she is married to Charles, a soldier entrenched in the battlefields of World War I. She hasn't seen him for two years, and missing him badly, she records her secret, erotic longings in a diary. During the chaos of the explosion Julia slips the diary into a coat pocket and loses the coat. The diary is found by Peter Wentworth, a staunch young Anglican clergyman. As he reads through it, searching for the author's identity, he becomes increasingly fascinated and disturbed by its frank eroticism. This, after all, is 1917, a time when women were supposed to suffer sex as a "duty" and certainly not talk about it or— heaven forbid—let on they liked it. Puzzled by this uncharacteristic woman, Peter passes the diary on to Stewart MacPherson, a friend and psychologist who is exploring the psychoanalytical theories of Freud, and he, too, falls under Julia's spell. Doubleday, 467 pages, $28.00 When a French freighter, carrying thousands of tons of explosives destined for the battlefields of World War I, entered the narrowest part of Halifax harbour on December 6,1917, it was accidentally struck broadside by a Belgian Relief vessel. That collision sparked the great Halifax explosion, which leveled the city's north end, killing or maiming over 10,000 people. A disaster of colossal proportions, it took the first atomic blast of Hiroshima to exceed the devastation. The incident is dramatically detailed by Robert MacNeil in Burden of Desire, a first and historical novel by a man who will be familiar to many in North America as co- anchor of the PBS MacNeil/Lehrer News- Hour. In "A Note on Fact and Fiction," MacNeil vows that his description of the explosion is as accurate as he could make it, though the thoughts and feelings of a handful of "real" characters are all "imagined." His first knowledge of the explosion came to him as a child from the eyewitness accounts of relatives. Later, his interest was "quickened" by a reading of Hugh MacLennan's 1941 classic Barometer Rising, which revolves around the same incident. Coincidentally, it is the first Canadian novel MacNeil remembers reading. But the accurate history of a tragic event is only one side of the novel; Burden of Desire is also a captivating invention full of human interest. From the beginning, the story focuses on three characters who establish the human element and propel the story beyond the mere description of a sensational event. A disaster of colossal proportions, the devastation of the Halifax explosion was not exceeded before the first atomic blast of Hiroshima. Stewart and Peter, whose marriage is in trouble, are ripe for romance, and both become obsessed with the mysterious diarist. But they quickly learn that desire can bring a burden with it, an oppressive weight placed on the person who possesses it What rises from the rubble and ash of the Halifax ruins is a tale of smouldering passions that finally burst into full flame. In Burden of Desire, MacNeil tells an absorbing story filled with fascinating details that offer more than just a glance at the values and habits of another age. At appropriate moments, his style is so dextrous that he makes the reader feel the pain and chaos of disaster—and the burden of desire.

JULY 23. 1992 13 Tourism appears to be slower now ALDERGROVE - It's still early in the summer travel season, but it seems the slow economy is also affecting the tourism industry. Margot Bartolino, manager of the Chamber of Commerce's Travel Infocentre says that numbers of inquiries appear to have gone down so far this year. "It's been really quiet since the beginning of July. I thought at first that it was busier because statistics were up slightly over last year in May and June. I suppose the empty nesters are still managing, but with the economy people with kids aren't travelling. Theyre mostly looking for campgrounds." She said it's slower at the Langley Chamber's travel office at the Gloucester site, 264 Street at the freeway, too, but she still hopes it will turn around. "We'll tally it all up at the end of August and then we can compare." Meanwhile, two high school students are working seven days a week at the Aldergrove Chamber's office, for the tourism ministry. Tracy Home, 18, a W.J. Mouat grad, and Tina Perkins, 17, going into grade 12 at Mountain Secondary, have been going through the two-year hospitality and tourism program at their schools and are eager to get into careers in the industry. They have been through work experience in the industry, but this is their first fulltime job and they are enjoying it. "People are always friendly, happy," commented Home. "I enjoy talking with them about their plans." She said she is going to Surrey Travel College in the fall and hopes to be an agent, wholesaler or work at an airport. Perkins said a field trip to Vancouver's Le Meridien Hotel really excited her about a future career in the hotel industry. They note that there have been more Americans coming into the office recendy, and while most are for daytrips, there have been a lot who are going to Alaska and Alberta. "You wonder how a person from Germany ends up in Aldergrove," laughs Home, "but it's always interesting." The office will be open daily till Labor E>ay, in the stripmall next to Kentucky Fried Chicken, and phone inquiries can be made by calling 856-8383. Bradner reunion brings out 500 By DORA CHAPMAN BRADNER - The Bradner Re- Union held Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19 was a terrific success with over 500 folks signing the guest book. Many travelled from New York, California, Washington, Fort St. John, Clearwater, Prince George and from Vancouver Island to attend the home coming. Folks began arriving at 2 p.m. at the Bradner Hall to attend the afternoon tea, at which time Mrs. Catherine Nicholl, age 94, unveiled the Matsqui Centennial plaque at the Bradner Hall. The plaque depicts early Bradner community history. Nicholl is the oldest living past president of the Bradner Community Club. At the Saturday night dinner Master of Ceremonies Richard Fatkin called upon Fay Butler (nee Hansen) to say Grace, which was followed by a moment of silence in memory of all former departed Bradner residents. Reverend Canon George Pratt and Mrs. Pratt were in attendance. Reverend Pratt, now age 93, is the son of George Pratt, Senior, who built the first store at Bradner in 1911, followed by the post office in 1912. Other pioneer residents were Miss Vera Baker and Mrs. Peggy McRae (nee McKinnon); all three, which included Rev. Pratt attended the first log school at Bradner built in 1894, located at the corner of Bradner Road and Elsie Avenue on the Hutchinson property. A Miss Margaret Arscott was their teacher who later became Mrs. Jimmy Loach, a well known couple in earlier Bradner days. Long-time resident Robert Donaldson at the age of three months arrived at Bradner with his folks in 1911. Bert has resided over 80 continuous years in Bradner. Pioneer Alvina Boyle (nee Dennison) another eady pioneer attended the reunion Former Bradner teachers attending the celebration were Margaret Beharell (nee Adams), Una Peardon (nee Adams), Miss Cruickshanks, Stewart McRae, and Verne Falk. May Queens, then called Miss Brittania, in early days were Peggy McRae (nee McKinnon), Joy Donaldson (nee Manuel), Emily Elliot (nee Barclay) and former May Queen Jeanette Warmerdam later, Miss Abbotsford, became Miss P.N.E. Players, now all senior citizens and original team members of the Bradner "Red Shirts" soccer team, the Bradner Girls and Boys Basketball team all stood and were recognized. Daughters of the organizers of the original Bradner Boys Lacrosse team formed in 1936 were all in attendance; Dora Dupleix,. Fay Hansen and Barbara Money. Aldergrove Heritage Society had an interesting display at the reunion on early Bradner and area history. Reunion organizers also displayed eady photos around the hall with school pictures commencing with the class of 1925. Appreciation for a job well done was expressed to the organizers Audrey Fatkin, Joy Donaldson, Sarah Arnold, Thelma Hannah, Catherine Griffiths, Haniet Tomeshewski, Dora Chapman and Mildred Carmichael. Plans are underway for another reunion in 1997. Tina Perkins (left) and Tracy Home are the students working this summer at the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce/ Travel Infocentre office. While it's been a slow start to the holiday season, they're hoping to see more tourists coming through the area soon. -Kurt Langmann photo A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Summertime's hidden dangers This commemorative plaque was unveiled at the Bradner reunion, Saturday at the heritage hall. The event brought out about 500 guests, all former or contemporary residents of the community. -Kurt Langmann photo Summertime is a time to be carefree but it's also a time we need to be careful according -to Penny Wellar, Coordinator, Emergency Services at Langley Memorial Hospital. Prevention is the best cure, she said. When you and your family are out in the sun, use a sunscreen of at least 15- You will still get a tan, it will just take a litde longer. And be extra careful with the litde ones — infants need to be protected from hot sunlight and given plenty of fluids to offset fluid loss due to perspiration in the hot weather. Always wear shoes when you are outdoors. Lots of foot injuries arrive in Emergency every summer because people have stepped on glass, twigs, nails and other sharp materials while either in their bare feet or flimsy footwear. If you do step on something sharp make sure you wash your foot immediately and if you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years, get one from your physician. Bicycle enthusiasts are reminded to have some kind of protection in terms of clothing. In Emergency, Penny reports, patients have come in with dreadful road .bums caused by falling on gravel without longsleeved shirts or long pants on. If you swim in lakes or ponds frequented by ducks you should watch out for "swimmer's itch". The symptoms are an itchy rash •that can cover your entire body, the preventive step here, said Penny, is to towel yourself dry immediately after coming out of the water. The wasps are usually out in full force during the summer months. Any kind of allergic reaction that affects your breathing or your ability to swallow requires immediate medical attention. Bee stings usually heal in three or four days but watch out for red streaks radiating from the puncture. That might indicate an infection. See your physician about this. To relieve the discomfort try using ice and taking aspirin or whatever analgesic you normally use for pain relief. Poison Control, said Penny, has also recommended rubbing deodorant stick on the puncture because the aluminum hydroxide sometimes provides relief. Be carefree but don't forget to use your common sense this summer and remember all those safety tips -you learned at. camp. 14 THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

Antihistamines have a long history of safe use in Canada. While most individuals can use antihistamines without problems, there is growing evidence internationally of rare adverse effects in some individuals. As a resulr of a thorough review oi mis evidence, as well as Canadian data, HPB will provide doctors and pharmacists with new information on these adverse effects and profiles of individuals likely to be at increased risk. Also, the labelling on the two drugs involved, terfenadine (Seldane) and astemizole (Hismanal) will be changed to include specific warnings about who should not use these drugs. In order to bring these changes to the attention of all users, HPB has recommended to provincial Registrars of Pharmacy that these products be moved to the pharmacist-controlled areas (behind the counter) of all pharmacies. Both drugs will continue to be available without prescription; however, the new measures will permit the pharmacist to discuss appropriate antihistamine use prior to purchase or refer users to their physicians. built to challenge green horses and riders in a safe manner.

V3A2N4 533-3271 Firehall memories flood back for oldtimers at 50th anniversary ALDERGROVE - The town's firehall started out in 1942 as a federal initiative to provide air raid protestion services, just after the bombing of Peari Harbour set pretty well the entire world at war. On Sunday, people came from far and wide to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The service has come a long way since?, noted the first fire chief, George Hein, now in his 80s and residing in Dawson Creek. Hein was there to see familiar old faces but found that most had since passed away. While he said he's had "oldtimers disease for so long now" that the memories were slow in returning, he recalled that "a month after Pearl Harbour pretty well everyone had left for the air force, army and shipyards. Ross Motors (formeriy on the Sunshine Texaco site across from the Hotel) was left with no mechanic so they had to hire me." The firehall, such as it was, was established at Ross Motors and Hein was drafted into service as chief. Hein laughed as he remembered that the pumper unit was on a cart and all members had a trailer hitch on their cars to haul it out to emergencies. Current fire chief Larry Kidd said there was only one fire and a few motor vehicle accidents during Hein's term, from 1942 to 1944, and the main purpose was to provide air raid protection. "The errand boy would let us know (about practices) and everyone else took longer to arrive than we did," said Hein. "Two men would jump out at 15 miles per hour with the hose when we got to the trench that was dug. The mechanic got the motor going and the hose was thrown into the trench. Everything worked, I still cant believe it but we were always there first and everything worked." Kidd said that there have been 125 men who served over the 50 year history of the hall, of which 25 are now deceased. Pretty well all of the hundred remaining showed up for the open house, including the roster of 25 current members. Hein, Elmer Quiring and Jim Ferguson are the remaining fire chiefs, along with Kidd. Demonstrations, displays and refreshments were served to the visitors. Particularly appealling. was the rides atop the municipal aerial ladder truck, judging by the line-ups. After die day's activities for the public, dinner was served upstairs for 142 guests. "Don Waines burned a lot of chicken on the barbecue out back for us," laughed Kidd. "There's been a couple of flashfires akeady." No problem. The dedicated, well-trained volunteer crew were all on hand with modern equipment, ready to give Waines and the hens a good soaking should they get carried away in the heat of the moment. i&Wft'Sft&SS'S""^ Recently retired Aldergrove fire chief Jim Ferguson (right) points out familiar old faces in a portrait gallery at the fire hall's open house, Sunday, as friends, including former fire chief Elmer Quiring (left) look on and reminisce. -Kurt Langmann photo •,«to '-'?€$£ SENIORS' NEWS Regional picnic a great seniors mixer!

JULY 23. 1992 17 Customs vows high-tech fight VANCOUVER - Canada Customs is going high-tech in its new programs to combat smuggling of cigarettes and other goods. The $8-million program is aimed at both the smalltime smugglers and the organized crime element, which is estimated to cost $400-million to $500- million per year in lost duties and taxes. Revenue minister Otto Jelinek said 90 new customs officers specially trained in anti- smuggling techniques will start at customs offices across the country this month. They will be armed with new detection equipment to pinpoint contraband hidden inside vehicles, cargo and other packages. "Gone are the days when a smuggler, big or small, was caught, paid his penalty and all was forgotten," warned Jelinek.

Merry Wives is second summer stock offering BELLINGHAM, Wash. - Shakespeare's ample figure of fun, Sir John Falstaff, is bested by The Merry Wives of Windsor in the second offering of Western Washington University's popular summer stock season. The Elizabethan comedy opened Monday, July 20 and runs through Saturday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Old Main Theatre on campus. Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth 1 was so charmed by the character of Falstaff after seeing him in Shakespeare's Henry IV that she requested another play featuring the portly knight in love. Shakespeare, quickly wrote Merry Wives to the queen's delight. In this play, Falstaff (played by Chuck Harper) makes a vigorous attempt to woo two married women simultaneously. Instead, the "merry wives" Ford and Page (Ten Cravens and Dawn Moore) consipire to teach the amorous old buffoon a lesson he won't soon forget. Falstaff mistakes friendliness and good fellowship for flirtation and ends up making a complete ninny of himself. Getting Page's daughter, Anne (Sarah L. Overman), married . to the most appropriate of three clumsy suitors provides a subplot with even more amusing characters. In the surprise ending, all get what they deserve. Doug Vander Yacht, director of this show and producer of Summer Stock '92, said" "I've wanted to direct Merry Wives since I saw a charming Royal Shakespeare Company production in Stratford, England, many years ago. It has a rich variety of comic characters (nine major roles), with many layers of comedy; verbal, physical and situational. Falstaff is one of the great comic characters in all literature. "Our very talented company makes it a most satisfying task to bring this robust comedy to Western's stage for the first time." Other cast members from both the community and the Summer Stock company include John Talvitie Jr., Alton Grimes, John Nestor, Dave Hurtubise, Peter Nicholas, Alisa Sachs, Nathan Breskin-Auer, Frederic Boulay, Rodolpho Silva, Gino Scarpino II, Jason Maniccia, Brian Harper, Robin Walbeck, Harold Phillips, Alan Freeman, Trish Egan and Bill Shuel. Several area children round out the cast including Ryan Bates, Lars Mink, Jasmine Riley, Jeffrey Russell and Mattie Hawkinson. For reservations, call (206) 647- 6146 weekdays or visit the Plaza Cashier Box Office on the WWU campus in Bellingham, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tickets are $10 general admission, $8 for seniors and $6 for students and children. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JULY 23. 1992 19 856-8303 or 856-5212 Fax line Hiii^iopDai)! DIRECTORY 1. Announcements 110.

Funeral service held July 18 in the Aldergrove United Church with Rev. Ben Taylor officiating. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations to the Langley Memorial Hospital in memory of Howard Barker. Henderson's Langley In care of arrangements. Parks need cash BURNABY - The GVRD park manager says that more money must be designated to upgrading parks in the region. Rick Hankin said in a report that projects are being delayed or scaled down because money is being spent on purchasing new sites such as the recent $2.25- million acquisition of Widgeon Marsh. He recommended that $5- million be set aside each year for park purchases by the GVRD, along with contributions from the province and private donors. Some $7.8-million in work needs to be done to existing parks, including Aldergrove Lake and Campbell Valley, and is being delayed due to lack of funding. A $425,000 trail and farmhouse development at Aldergrove Lake has been postponed until 2001, and Campbell Valley's $300,000 pedestrian trails and picnic areas funding has been cut by 60 percent and delayed a year until 1995. Another major project is $525,000 over three years for Derby Reach, near Fort Langley. This would expand parking, day uses and trails, and redevelopment of the Edgewater fishing bar.
