The car washers were kept busy with a steady supply of customers, and Tyson's mother, Karen said her son is steadily recovering at Children's Hospital. -Tim Attwood photo "Love overwhelms" family ALDERGROVE - The DeGianni family is "overwhelmed by the love, support and best wishes from our community." ; Karen DeGianni told The Star that the Saturday car wash raised an "astonishing $1,853.34" to help her family with the expenses of treating her ten-year-old son, Tyson for cancer. While the treatments at Vancouver Children's Hospital are covered by the medical plan, there are the other expenses that go along with it that aren't covered and which can make life more difficult for the family at a difficult time. Karen also wanted the public to know that Tyson is doing very well and the medical prognosis has consistently been very promising. Tyson is being treated as an outpatient, and must only stay two-and-a-half days in hospital at a time for die regular chemotherapy treatments. The duration of the treatments are reassessed regularly, as doctors measure their success against the cancerous growth in front of his liver. Surgery is also a likelihood at some time in the near future, depending on the degree of chemotherapy's success. Tyson, a Grade 4 student at Parkside Elementary, was present during the car wash and had a great time socializing with friends and supporters, said Karen, who wants to keep Tyson's daily schedule as close to normal as possible under the circumstances. "We'd like to thank the friends, relatives and neighbours of all ages who participated in making this event an unbelievable success," said Karen. "A special thank you to ' Randy Hopkins, John McKay and Ryan Wiebe, the three firemen who made the day fun and enjoyable." The volunteer firemen had brought a fire engine to Parkside to help with the car wash, and helped add to the enjoyment of the youngsters who turned out in droves. BUT SPENDING UP 17% Property taxes up by 3.5% LANGLEY - Township residents can expect a general property tax increase of 3-5 percent this year, after Monday's approval of the 1994 budget by council. Coun. Muriel Arnason cast the sole dissenting vote, citing concerns about increases in spending, as well as additional levies expected for schools and the GVRD. For the average taxpayer with a fully-serviced 60-foot lot assessed at $225,000 this means an increase of about $48.80 over 1993 taxes. Chair of the budget committee, coun. Steve Ferguson said he was "very happy" with the budget, totalling $136,908,475, which puts the municipality "at the cutting edges in a number of things." Arnason objected, citing increases such as 79 percent to ad ministration and 29 percent to parks and recreation, and observing that there was a 17 percent overall increase of $31-million as compared to 1993 spending. However, her accusation that budget working papers were not available to the public were countered by mayor John Scholtens, who said all documents were available to the public at libraries and the municipal hall, since November. "It's a public document, we want the prcess to be open," he said. The budget breaks down to $85-million for the operations and capital fund, $293-million collected for other levels of government, $10.5-million for the sewer fund, $10.5-million for the water fund and $1.4-million for the solid waste fund. Arnason also took issue with the relatively low rates charged seasonal/recreational/,-ij property owners, arguing it amounted to an unfair subsidy for such uses as golf courses. Godfrey said these rates were being increased over a five year period to a fairer share of taxes. A staff report said the fast- growing township faced challenges and council has commissioned a long-range financial plan to meet it. This begins Saturday at Newland's with a meeting of "recognized experts" who will develop a program over coming months to manage growth and the ever-increasing demand for services. The budget provides for continued planning, including an update on the Aldergrove Community Plan, as well as addition- Please see page 2...

The recommendations from the Langley Child Safety Task Force have been widely lauded in the province, right up to the Premier's office, and council decided that there were no likely problems or court challenges to the proposed recommendations. The main thrust will be RCMP screening of new business licence applicants to weed out persons who have been convicted of assault or abuse of children. The task force chair, coun. Heather McMullan pointed out that there is not a "crisis" looming in the business community, but die work was provoked by the 1993 conviction of a former Aldergrove pet shop owner who had touched and assaulted young female customers in his store. William Stanley Day was sentenced to 18 months incarceration after pleading guilty to 11 counts of sexual touching and common assault. Particularly aggravating to the new council was the fact that Day had two previous convictions: in 1990 he was sentenced to six months for sexual interference and indecent exposure in Matsqui, and in 1988 he was sentenced to 30 days for sexual assault in Chilliwack. While there was no procedure previously to detect such a criminal record, there now will be in Please see page 3...

VANCOUVER - A controversy- dogged former bureaucrat has found new work with the Forest Alliance of B.C., but had scarcely started the job fighting for die forest industry's survival when he took some harsh jabs at the MLA for Fort Langley-Aldergrove. Eric Denhoff doesn't think kindly of Gary Farrell-Collins, ap- parendy. Denhoff was quoted in Monday's Vancouver Sun as saying, "It seems to me a snot-nosed little guy who has never had a real job in his life and is living himself with a public allowance would have better things to do than criticize others."

WIN TICKETS MUSIC FESTIVAL July 14,15,16,17 SEE INSIDE Cops nab dimwit thieves By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Police were quick in apprehending three men who robbed the Petro Canada station in the 27500-block of Fraser Highway last Tuesday morning. About 2 a.m., April 26, three men used an axe and a crowbar to break open the door and began filling their own garbage cans with tobacco products. Unknown to them was the fact that they were being videotaped in action. After 30 seconds, the alarm went off and a neighbour looked out, saw the robbery in progress and called the police. Response was so quick that the robbers dumped the car in die 27600 block of Fraser Highway and ran off on foot. An RCMP tracking dog was *called in but was unable to follow them at that time. The culprits were, however, spotted and apprehended around five that morning in die 28100-block Fraser Highway. They were identified by Langley RCMP Constable Brecklemans as being the persons on die videotape that was taken at the scene. Arrested and charged widi robbery were Henry and Daniel Semenec and Robin Longol, all in their 20s and of Chilliwack. Before the week was out the trio pleaded guilty to charges. Henry was sentenced to six months in jail and the others were sentenced to three months each. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 NEWS? CLASSIFIED?

LANGLEY - Councilors don't know what to make of it, but ap- parendy the township will get a Langley Hall of Fame as part of a new commercial development in' die Willowbrook area. Diversified Developments received approval for two commercial buildings at 205 Street and 62 Avenue. One will be occupied by an electronic monitoring equipment company, and the other is a six-unit strata warehouse, which includes a book publisher. The building permit conforms with plans for the area. Coun. Mel Kositsky questioned what the hall of fame might consist of, but no one seemed to know. "It might be a small hall," joked mayor John Scholtens. Skills Now applauded by educators VANCOUVER - The provincial government's Skills Now initiative means education is being treated as a long term economic investment, said Myrna Popove, president of the Advanced Education Council of B.C. "An educated workforce is the key to the economic well being of the province. This program will provide increased opportunities for British Columbians to receive training for jobs in the new economy. The B.C. post secondary system will be playing a leading role in the new initiative," she said. AECBC represents 19 community colleges, institutes and agencies in the province, including die B.C. Institute of Technology, the Justice Institute and the Open Learning Agency. Popove said she was pleased die program addresses a number of issues AECBC has raised in die past such as access and relevance. "Skills Now recognizes the need to create more spaces to serve the estimated 20,000 people who were turned away from post secondary opportunities last year," she said. "It also opens doors, removing barriers and provides innovative access for the unemployed, workers in at- risk occupations, displaced workers, die disabled, special needs, first nations and multicultural communities." The government is acknowledging the need for a better integration of skills in the post secondary curriculum, and in addition, die program encourages academic programs to become more applied, and technical programs to include training in communications, critical thinking and problem solving skills, she said. "AECBC welcomes die challenge to community leaders, labour, employers and colleges and institutes to work together in partnership to develop real and lasting opportunities for those being trained," said Popove. Other positive features of the program include the emphasis on regional training and community learning centres geared to retraining in areas of high unemployment, she said.

Freeway collision kills man ALDERGROVE - A fatal collision on Highway 1 near the 264 Street exit, Thursday afternoon, took the life of John Turner, 67, of Abbotsford. Turner, who was flown by helicopter from the crash scene to MSA Hospital, was pronounced dead on arrival due to a coronary. It is not known whether the heart attack was the cause or result of the collision. Turner's car veered in the east- bound lane, hitting a highways maintenance truck at about 3 p.m., April 28. There were no other injuries but the highway traffic was backed up for miles and the section of highway was closed for about two hours, while emergency personnel attended the scene and the wreckage was cleared. r THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY NOTICE TO LAND DEVELOPERS, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS NEW SUBDIVISION AND DEVELOPMENT CONTROL BYLAW NO. 3335 Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Township of Langley has given Final Reading to a new Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw 1994 No. 3335.

MAY 4. t994 Ex-civil servant takes it out on MLA's hide From front... were paying $1,500 a month to rent uenhoff a False Creek condominium, on top of his executive salary. Farrell-Collins said Denhoff should have tried harder to sell his Victoria home. "It appears that he wasn't trying very hard to sell that house," fjaM Farrell-Coluns. "In fact he listed it at $549,000, 150 percent of its assessed value of $360,000. Wis there no responsibility for die government to ensure that while diey were paying out $1,500 a month of taxpayers' money, Mr. Denhoff was doing everything possible to sell his property?" Denhoff, who as of April 29 is a senior advisor with die Forest Alliance lobby organization, said his deal With BC Transit included accommodation and diere was no expectation that he sell his house in Victoria. Apparendy, Denhoff was referring to the $100 a day that MLAs from outside Victoria receive for die first 60 days of each legislative session, used to cover additional living expenses. Notwithstanding Denhoffs claim that being a member of the legislative assembly is not a "real job", Farrell-Collins was establishing a very lucrative career in aviation before being elected to die legislature in 1991. While Farrell-Collins has never publicly complained about his present "job", observers have suggested that he took a drop in future pay and career expectations by following the political life. Meanwhile, Denhoff will be flying high in his new career path, leading a delegation to London this week, "to start a round of talks with representatives from die federal and provincial governments." Alliance chair Jack Munro said, "We have to coordinate our efforts here at home arid overseas." Munro said of Denhoffs posting: "I'm delighted. His talents and capabilities are exacdy what we need. Ouj-i#ji*st concern is that we are losing markets in the U.K. and in Europe and^mis hurting B.C.'s *||6onomy. Eric can do a lot to reverse that trend." Denhoff will be based in B.C. and Europe, charged with "combating the misinformation campaign against B.Otfs forest practices." Denhoffs previous postings include chief negotiator on KAON, deputy minister of Aboriginal Affairs, and on various deputy ministers' committees. As the Alliance is not a government body, there is no obligation to reveal Denhoff s remuneration. There has been no announcement on his replacement as chair of BC Transit, however, there have been rumors that failed Vancouver city COPE mayoral candidate Libby Davis is at the front of the line for the patronage posting. 1111 Councilor Heather McMullan announced a tough new policy aimed at refusing child molesters business, licences in Langley township, Monday morning in front of a Brookswobd pet store. Other measures will be taken here to make youths safer in the community, but parents must still be vigilant as no laws can totally protect the innocent by themselves, she cautioned. She was joined by other members of Langley's Child Safety Task Force, coun. Mel Kositsky, RCMP inspector Cliff Macdonald and mayor John Scholtens. -Kurt Langmann photo Child safety is first goal| Clean air has steep price for commuters LANGLEY - An invitation from the GVRD to have the township participate in Clean Air Day, June 8, by reducing air pollution has council's support. Staff will be encouraged to take up the "trip- reduction challenge" issued by the Burnaby GVRD office. Coun. Trudi Campen remarked diat may mean "staff will arrive late" if they rely on public transit. She said her recent attempt to do so resulted in her arriving 90 min- ufes'late for an appointment. Aldergrove contributes to regional transitifevies, but its bus service would only be considered pathetic if it actually existed. From front... Langley, and council has also suggested that other B.C. jurisdictions follow their lead. Langley RCMP inspector Cliff Macdonald, who sat on the task force, told a Monday news conference diat he saw no problems or difficulties with the new procedures. Many other organizations, such as Big Brothers, also use die same screening process, he added. SCREENING STARTS The screening will also be extended to municipal employees and contractors who have dealings with children at the job, along with sensitivity training to help them detect signs of abuse in children. Established business es, community service and recreational groups will be "encouraged to increase their understanding of child safety and to implement screening and sensitivity training of their employees and volunteers." Among other recommendations to make the township "a safe place for children" are improved information and education services for children and parents, incorporation of child safety designs in parks and buildings, appointment of a municipal coordinator responsible for child safety activities, and establishment of an ongoing child safety advisory committee. However, the task force recognized existing services to children and did not seek to implement redun dant services. Mayor John Scholtens said diese are "eight concrete, doable recommendations" and administrator Jim Godfrey said that while he's not assessed the cost to the township he didn't foresee it being "a big number." Godfrey added that senior government funding would be pursued, as "diere are some grants available for social planning exercises." McMullan emphasized die "motherhood" aspect, noting that, "cities will not flourish unless children's needs are met... diey are the building blocks of the community." Coun. Mel Kositsky's motion diat die recommendations be "immediately implemented" was passed unanimously.

MAY'4.1994 COMMENT Reform is failing test By TIM NAUMETZ OTTAWA — It's going to be a long, dry season for the Reform Party. So far, the team is a flop. It would be kind-|to describe Preston Manning's performance in the House of Commons as flat. Some would say boring. Others might opt for dismal. fp| More important than that kind of surface stuff, Manning and many of his MPs are turning out to be cream puffs when it comes to substance. They get blown away almost every time they challenge the government in question period. On Wednesday, while 2,000 Canadian troops faced the threat of being bogged down in the Bosnian civil war, Manning's first question to the government was about the Quebec election due this fall. Manning had a political reason for asking the question. He wanted to set the stage for his highly publicized visit to Montreal the next day. Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copplsdemolished him. She said he was "ignorant" about Quebec. "In order to understand Quebec, you have to have MPs from Quebec,"^|aid Copps, a reference to the indisputable and blinding fact that the Reform Party failed even to run candidates in Quebec. Copps made a good point. Not only that, it was Manning himself who whined last January that Prime Minister Jean Chretien . was quoting too much Commons time to Quebec. The Reform failure in question period has prompted the party to hire a former Tory for advice on hew to handle the daily slugfest. ^ff|r** « Manning's personal and physical style must also.be addressed. I have only known him as a political figure since 1987, but I can't believe he has sounded like a Jimmy Stewart impression all his life. Surely he must have picked up that slow, preacher-like drawl at some point in his later years. Once fascinating for its homespun appeal, Manning's affected speech has become the butt of jokes among political opponents and the cynical press corps on the Hill. Other aspects of his down- home image were shattered when we learned he gets a special $31,000 expense perk from his party so he can get his suits drycleaned and drive a car. And wouldn't it be nice if we could all arrange a tidy^little $12,000 a year for our spouses? Also, what about that gold- plated Commons pension plan the Reformers were hammering away at when they got to Parliament? Funny thing, that. We haven't heard a word about pensions, not the smallest of peeps, since we discovered the Reform Party doled out for a cushy litde RRSP plan Preston was storing away for a rainy day. That's mostly all style, though, not substance. The conspicuous absence of substance in the Reform ranks reveals itself in other ways. For instance, the Reform Party continually pesters the government about the need to come up with refreshing, sound new policy. They especially want "policy that will save taxpayers money. In fact, that is the biggest calling card for the Reform Party. They, also want to reform Parliament. Well, the traditional way in which opposition MPs offer policy alternatives and new programs is to submit their own proposals for legislation, in the form of private members' bills, for the Commons to accept or reject. They may also submit simple motions which would, if passed, mean that the Commons takes a stand for or against an idea. Guess what? I checked with Commons staff and found that-iout of 35 bills from ordinary MPs that have been tabled since January, the Reform Party authored only three. Even the rookie Bloc Quebecois Party had proposed ^ore than five bills. Of more than 250 motions from ordinary MPs that have been tabled since January, the Reform Party authored a total of one. It was a motion from Calgary Southeast MP Jan Brown urging the government to privatize all or part of the CBC. This business about bills and motions may seem obscure to most people, jj*»ut it's at the heart of the way our democracy works. If you're in opposition, it's the only way to set down specific proposals for the government to formally reject or accept. It's the record of Parliament. Reform MPs still display their naive view of politics almost every day in question period. They still applaud some answers from cabinet ministers, even though the answers, while logical and informative on the surface, are skillful deflections. On this score, Calgary MP Stephen Harper is the exception. He seems to be the most astute of the neophites gathered around Manning. We have.to acknowledge four years remain before the next election. But still, if it wants to capture wider support, the Reform Party will have to depart some from its steady but dry assault on the deficit. It will have to show imagination, intelligence and depth. Reform MPs will have to wrestle with other issues that reflect the magnificent scope of the country they want to govern. Voters will see whether that is rx)ssibie!Y Welfare, private economies boom, and it's getting better, Danes say By RUDY LANGMANN $$ Danes are experiencing a boom in their standard of living at die present time. Economists say diat die situation is unique and that people today live better dian diey have done for die past 1,000 years. The ;£jpswing in die economy even surpasses the boom of die 1960s, a decade diat was known as 'die fat years'. The information conies from die latest national budget and should tiierefore, perhaps, be taken with a grain of salt. In the budget document you can read diat a typical civil servant or middle class family today earns 40 percent more than it did 10 years ago and that it also has 40 percent more left over after taxes, mortgage or rent, and kindergarten have been paid. It means diat die average family of four today has 70,000 Kr. ($15,000) more to spend on holidays, cars, clothes, wine, video and computer equipment, die social democrat-led coalition government says. The standard of living is thus higher dian it has ever been, if die politicians are to be believed. Trouble is, many Danes do not buy in. The people will be going to die polls in the fall, after die government has been in power for only a little more than a year and a half. The three political parties diat make up the present government cannot, of course, agree on much. Unemployment is at a record-high. It is estimated diat somewhere between 600,000 and 800,000 Danes are receiving public assistance in one form or anodier. On the positive side, Denmark is populated bv,a people of optimists, and the country is well on die road toward a national debt of zero. If only 90,000 new jobs are created in the private sector widiin the next three to five years, the economists say, there will be a significant budgetary improvement and die taxes can be lowered. ;*|ii§i For the Danes do pay taxes. The aforementioned typical family has an income of about 40,000 Kr. a mondi, pay roughly half that amount in taxes, and is thus left widi 20,000 Kr. or about $4,000. It is expensive to live in Denmark after Canadian standards. Food is expensive, and fossil fuels cost about twice as much as they do in North America. Cars are extremely expensive, and yet every Danish family generally owns one. The distances are relatively short and therefore they do not bum up much gas. A few* things are cheaper dian in Canada, such as wine and beer which can be bought at any supermarket. A case of Pilsener (30 botdes) is about $12. Single-family homes are cheap for a Canadian, but here nobody can afford them. Townliouses or apartments are die norm for die average family. In a country of only 5.14-miUidin;; an unemployment rate of well over half a million constitutes a significant economic burden on die tax system, and the creation of 90.000 new jobs sounds like a pipe dream. But to be fair, finance minister Poul Schlueter introduced policies in 1993 that created more dian 200,000 private industry jobs during die first year. Schlueter says optimistically diat die average family can look forward to continuous prosperity with 20 percent more spendable money by 1998. That is if his government is reelected and next time widi a clear majority. The conservatives who were kicked out of office during the last election are also trying for a comeback. But while die politicians disagree on many points, they all agree that die economy must be brought under control, and in diis respect diey have the full support of the citizens. Some fear that the changing economic climate will result in more poor people. But it is difficult to point the finger at any one group that hasn't seen economic improvement in recent years. One group of losers is some of the elderly who have already lost about six percent of their disposable income. All others, the unemployed, people on welfare, and pensioners, today live lives that are superior to anything of die past. An unemployed worker in 1994, for instance, has more money in his pocket than a Danish working map 40 years back - even after inflation has been taken into consideration. Nobody in the state of Denmark lacks for anything. LETTERS Misguided f| Editor, The Star, Sir, Hats off to die Mountie from Fort St. John who calls Canada's gun law changes misguided. I hope every one read die article; legislation enacted Jan. 1 diis year requires diat anyone wanting to buy a gun must have completed a safety course in order to obtain or renew a Firearms Acquisition Certificate. The main tiling behind die FAC is you have to pay $150. I would be surprised if it teaches anything about safety or the proper handling of a firearm. It is just one more way to suck $150 from someone. It's like die AirCare which sucks money out of the public and done nothing for cleaner air. Just whose brainchild is this safety course that costs $150? Not Kim Campbell, I hope. What is there about gun safety that could possibly cost $150? I could tell you all the points that have anything to do with safety in less than 10 minutes, and have time to check to see if you understood what I was saying. In reality these politicians and tiieir bureaucrats are trying to please tlie do-gooders and those who are of die opinion they have no use for firearms therefore no one else should have the right to one either. Just because there has been crime committed with firearms, it will not stop because a law-abiding citizen pays $150 to get an FAC. What are they going to teach? Don't shoot a human being? The politicians and their bureaucrats would do well if they would spend more time to rectifying the reasons for crime, instead of trying to make criminals of law-abiding citizens by passing laws they cannot enforce. TED HANSEN Aldergrove Uninformed Editor, The Star, Sir, The position on issues taken by our valley Reform MPs are narrow-minded and disappointing. Randy White has come out in favor of barring HIV positive attendees at a 1996 AIDS conference in "Vancouver. Chuck Stralil is attacking French Immersion programs for students and parents who wish to pursue that option. A boyhood friend of mine who happens to be a hemophiliac is HIV positive as a result of a tainted blood transfusion. MP White simply compounds this kind of tragedy with his disgusting attack on a conference aimed at seeking relief for the victims of AIDS. MP Strahl's attack on French immersion education is thinly veiled bigotry aimed at Canada's French speaking minority. As if this moronic attack on another minority isn't bad enough, he probably doesn't realize the Reforms's views on Official Bilingualism, could leave die hundreds of thousands of anglo- phones in Quebec completely stranded, because language policy would be given over to die provinces. White and Stralil won their seats 'fair and square. Their role should now* include protecting minorities, the young and the sick. It is too bad that they are using their positions to attack the sick, students, and minorities. These Reform MPs seem to think that narrow minded bigotry is politically expedient in the Fraser Valley. I suggest that they have sadly underestimated the charity, compassion and goodwill of most Canadians, including residents of die valley. PETER WARKENTIN 2810 Bradner Rd.

MAY 4. 1994 BACK OUT IN TEN? f| Violent attack nets parolee another 30 year sentence NEW WESTMINSTER - The parolee who attempted to abduct a woman 'stranded near die 232 Street exit of Highway 1 last July 31 has had another 10 years added to his 30 year prison sentence. Allan Wayne Walsh, 36, had only served 10 years of die 30 year sentence when he was released on parole last Feb. 10. Walsh was originally sentenced to 30 years in 1983 after a vicious crime spree in Montreal that involved rape, armed robbery and kidnapping. Walsh has still to face an outstanding rape and robbery charge in Vancouver, allegedly committed the same day as the assault on the Langley woman. The woman who managed to escape the attack on Highway 1 is still traumatized by the encounter. Her car had broken down and while awaiting help from her husband, she was approached by Walsh with an offer to help. It was a bright, sunny summer day and there was plenty of traffic on the highway. However, "walsh held a knife to her and forced her to walk to his car. Before getting inside she frantically waved at passing cars and when one stopped to see what the problem was, Walsh panicked and fled in the car, leaving her behind. Police traced die car's ownership to Wdsh's wife in Chilliwack and were able to pick Walsh up shortly after. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ron Holmes called Walsh's crime "horrendous" and concluded diat Wilsh is ^danger to women and unlikely to be rehabilitated, in imposing the 10 year sentence demanded by the CriSwn prosecutor. §£fl Two men perish in parachute tragedy MATSQUI - Two men died Sunday afternoon when their tandem parachute failed to operate in a skydiving jump near Abbotsford Airport. One of die victims was a seasoned parachuting instructor and die other was a 36 year old student. Dead arfe'Michael Mellick, 33, of Langley and Ronald Combe, 36, of White Rock. The fall to dieir deaths in a neighboring field was witnessed by a horrified airport crowd, including Combe's family. Mellick was pronounced dead at the scene and Combe died shortly afterwards in hospital. Horizon Aerosports company spokesman, Peter Fassbender said that apparendy both the main and backup chutes malfunctioned, but he was unable to offer any reason why. Equipment is inspected after each jump. The company has suspended operations voluntarily while an investigation is undertaken by RCMP and the coroner's office, but is expected to reopen fc^fc business this week. It is the second such accident in Horizon's history, following a 1988 fatality when a Vancouver man also fell to his death after his parachute failed to open. Three other parachutists who jumped at the same time from the same airplane, at 3,000 metres, had successful landings. One of them was Combe's daughter, who had made her first jump as a gift from her father. Investigators said that their work will be slowed down somewhat because they are stymied by a lack of experts on the matter of the newer two-person tandem parachutes. Mega-store worries LANGLEY - Mega-corporations worry coun. Muriel Arnason, but coun. Trudi Campen says the service at factory warehouse type outlets will never compete with the ma and pa style hardware stores. In any case, council rejected rezoning of rural land at 20125- to 20215-block 64 Avenue for business/office park use, at staffs recommendation. The 11.96 acres of land involved were sought for a future 126,405 square foot Aikenhead's Home Improvement Centre and 673 parking spaces, but municipal services are not available presently. Several residences currently occupy it and surrounding land However, while the proposal is "premature" it is consistent with municipal plans for the future, and it will return soon. Arnason said the township has historically encouraged "little businesses" to establish here, and warned that "small business is getting eaten up by the giants." B&E artists nabbed on roof MATSQUI - Sharp-eyed officers spotted a pair of thieves while most residents were sound asleep, shortly after 1 a.m., April 28. A Matsqui Police department patrol car, operated by a the patrol supervisor and the chief constable, sighted people on the roof of the Highwayman Pub. They requested backup to secure . all the building exists. Police members climbed on the roof^ivith the assistance of the Abbotsford-Matsqui Fire department, and arrested two adult male Matsqui residents for breaking and entering. The culprits had removed ventilation coverings in an apparent attempt to gain entry into the pub. The two subjects made a court appearance later that morning. Crime Watch helps arrest LANGLEY - On April 29 around midnight a Langley Crime Watch member on routine patrol surprised two males breaking into die Pro-built Gym Club located al 20579 Langley By-pass. Both suspects departed rapidly in a black van with stolen equipment on board. Approximately one hour later, anodier Crime Witch member spotted die van. Police were notified and later stopped the vehicle.

Walk brings out 675 souls By MONIQUE GALAZKA MURRAYVILLE - The 32nd annual Langley Walk was enjoyed by 675 people who came out to walk as a family last Sunday. Not only did they enjoy the walk, they also enjoyed great entertainment with a very colourful balloon send off, thanks to Promotion Balloons. Also out for the day were clowns and face painters. On hand for a quick fitness warm-up were Trish Becher and Eleanor Skwarok, and when the time came to walk, everyone was ready. Everyone finishing the walk received a crest for tiieir participation and winners of die trophies were numerous. The family with the most members was the Laguerriers with 21 members. The elementary school with the most walkers was Otter Elementary and the secondary school with the most participants was HD Stafford. The oldest walker was 77 year-old Ivar Lorentzen. All walkers deserve congratulations for their outstanding effort, including township councilor Steve Ferguson who finished first in the city-township council challenge. The walk could not have been a success without,the help of various groups. The Citizens Crime Watch Patrol helped with traffic control. St. John's Ambulance was on hand to help out with any accidents, while Frontiersmen controlled the parking and helped out with registration. The Langley Youth Council provided a water table for die walkers and Al Anderson Pool Staff provided a refreshment stand along the route as well, and W. C.

MAY 4. 1994 Langley to preserve municipal gravel, to buy from private pits Greg Birza and Steve Alton of the Langley Raiders put their shoulders into a spring training session at City Park. Langley Minor Football will be holding future training sessions in June and July. -Tim Attwood photo Capital for local park projects LANGLEY - Council has. approved spending up to $4.5-mil- lion of its reserve funds on recreational capital projects diis year. This includes $230,500 for the Community Music School, $2.4- million for the North West Leisure Rink, $ 1.5-million on land acquisitions for future parks, and the balance for contingencies. Unexpended funds would be returned to reserves at the year-end. Just say no LANGLEY - The township will be prepared for emergencies from May 1-7. A request from the Attorney-General's office to mark these dates Emergency Preparedness Week was approved by council, Monday. The public is asked not to have emergencies for the remainder of the year. LANGLEY - The township will be holding back on depleting its own gravel at municipal pits in south Aldergrove, in favor of buying cheaper gravel from neighboring commercial pits. A staff report notes there are only two years' worth of crushed gravel and one year's worth of pit run left in die Jackman Pit, with another four to five years' supply on property north of the former landfill site. The township uses about 100,000 tonnes of the two types of gravel on local road projects annually. New sites of commercial gravel extraction have been banned in the township, but no such laws exist a few hundred metres to die east, on die Matsqui side. It's been calculated that the township could save up to $200,000 over the next four years by buying "from nearby gravel pits before they are exhausted," but purchasing from Matsqui pits would add $1.20, or 29 percent more, to the tonne price because of the additional costs of hauling. Additional savings can be made by not replacing the soon- to-be-retired loader-operator at die Jackman Pit, and having truckers load their own vehicles when using township pits in future. Matsqui is "refiguring the area but will still allow gravel extraction," said administrator Jim Godfrey. Langley imposed a moratorium on die new gravel pit developments several years ago at the request of local residents and community organizations, but established commercial and municipal pits operate legally" while their resource remains un- depleted. When the time soon comes that they are depleted, council will have to make some difficult decisions in the face of what has often been a hostile public. &ISI PNE offers 2,000 jobs next week VANCOUVER - The Pacific National Exhibition's Job Fair, which offers approximately 2,000 summer and fairtime jobs, will be held May 13 and 14 in the PNE's Showmart building.

Capital fund shortfall leaves out Parkside upgrading By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - School board trustee Chris Petipas summed up die new Ministry of Education's proposed capital budget in a few simple words: "There is never enough money and we have to make do with what we've got." The board has received the information regarding the capital budget from the ministry on Monday and during the meeting that evening discussed die ramifications of it The total capital projects budget for British Columbia lias been cut from just over $600-million last year to $339-million this year, and several of the priorities put forth by the board, one of which is the upgrading of Parkside Elementary, were not recognised by the government and therefore not included in the budget. Also, funding for die Langley Fine Arts School was significantly decreased from $10.7-million to $6.7-million. The board will meet again to decide whether to go ahead with the project, possibly not completing it, or to reapply to the government to move the capital funding to anodier project, possibly Parkside. The result of not finishing the LEAS project will be a multitude of similar problems now being faced by HD Stafford Secondary . Chairman Linda Moir said, "We don't want another disaster like Stafford" Since the information was received eariier in the day, it was recommended and passed diat the board accept the correspondence be received as information, and they will be meeting again within the next few weeks to decide a plan of action. of Annual Meetinx Please take notice that the Annual General Meeting of the 1 OTTER FARM & HOME CO-OPERATIVE Will be held at the Aldergrove Community Centre 26850 - 29th Avenue.

Any question on gardening put to the staff was given prompt attention, and the staff went all out to provide the answer. The meals in die cafeteria were very reasonably priced, contrary to many expectations. Among the large staff, four were working full tutie planting annuals for the summer display. It must have been colder than Aldergrove last winter as many roses were having to be replaced. It is interesting to remember that the Cheam Marl company was in die vicinity of die garden and their product was used as lime by many fanners in the valley. This marl consisted of trillions of tiny sea shells, so all the area was under die ocean at one time. Incidentally, it was the finest lime ever sold. At the meeting it was decided diat on June 4 a garage and bake sale would Joe held to raise money for a sound system for die hall. All your donations for die event should be brought in die previous day if possible as the sale opens at 9 a.m. There is a trip to Granville Island to view die performance of Dancing at die Lugrade. Cost is $9- This is June 22, 11 am to 6 pm. The play starts at 2 pm so it is safest to bring your own lunch. " A bus trip to die Langley Seniors' Centre to view die complex is planned for Monday, May \6, 11 am to 2 pm. Lunch at the centre will be $5. This society was started by a small number of seniors, including die Aldergrove OAP. They met monthly on Sunday, either in die apartment of Delia McGuffin or die lounge of her apartment block in die seniors' housing at the rear of Langley Mall. We were so short of funds we all had to chip in $10. each to start the ball rolling. Now today the complex is already too small, so come along and see what we should have in Aldergrove. Also a gardening seminar at die Art Knapp's Nurseries, on hanging moss baskets, Wednesday, May 11, 5=30 to 7:30 pm. No Charge. On Friday, May 20*yEhere*s a tour of die High School.

The Choral Group opened die program with a few selections and then all attention went to Ned's Giris, three sighdess ladies who are terrific. One plays the keyboards and sings along with the other two, making beautjfill*" music together. Why Ned's Girls? Well, one lady has a seeing eye dog named Ned, and Ned of course always accompanies them, so why not Ned's Girls? Ned looked real dapper in bowtie and all! Bernice and Al followed, doing severairfiumbers on their own and also leading the sing- along in which everyone seemed to participate, almost raising the roof. Gordon Force, suitably attired, then sang "Any Dream Will Do", and the Choral Group sang again to end the program. While refreshments were served, the draw for raffle prizes took place. Ernie Cluett won the first afghan; Laurie Otteson the second afghan; Darlene MacPherson the Teddy Bear; Connie Johnston the $20 Safeway certificate; Phyllis Delves the doll. Consolation prizes went to Hilda Harris, Paul Samec, T. Brunskill, Peggy Dyed, Alan MacPherson, Pat Lougheed, Clara Yeo and Gladys Rochon. Thanks to all who showed their support.

The meeting was also addressed by representatives of the Langley RCMP, constable Sharon Cooke and Genie Wise. They spoke on crime prevention. One important preventative against car theft was a rear window sticker giving police authority to stop the car between the hours of 1 and 5 a.m. If you are driving you only have to produce registration. If an unauthorised person is in charge, car and driver are held and you are notified. Apply at the police station for forms. There are an average of 42 cars a day stolen in B.C. The majority is committed by kids right out of your own yard. If you buy a car at a private sale check with the Motor Vehicle Branch before you hand over any money. If the auto is stolen you lose both your money and the vehicle. There will be an election of officers at the June meeting.

Local actor makes good, again & f SURREY - The curtain is about to go up on Surrey Litde Theatre's third production of the year. Sing On!, written by Rick Abbot and directed by Donna Innis, is die sequel to last year's hilarious comedy Play On! Aldergrove actor, Dan Bosley, is reprising die role of Saul ^vhtson, a character actor widi a wicked sense "of humor. Bosley won die Best Supporting Actor award for his performance in Play On! and is equally as entertaining in Sing On! The plot continues to revolve around the financial struggles of a local amateur dieatre group to keep dieir head above water. They are once again reduced to staging a play written by Phyllis Montague (Anna Lush). This time she has written a musical, lyrics supplied by her nephew Monte. Chase flick a real dud LEy LARA BRODIE ' Another disappointxiient, I am afraid.fiGhevy Chase, you know you're loved, your fans shed tears for you as we watched in agony while you bumbled along on your late night talk show. And we had a moment of silence when we discovered that your show was cancelled. You have inflicted torrents of laughter tears upon us over the years and we're just waiting for your big return. I'm not saying it's over, Chevy. Good grief! For you Chevy it will never be over but for heaven's sake! Why why why why why did you chose to perform in this movie! Cops And Robbersons sucks and I'm pointing the finger at Bemie Somers, he wrote the mess. Chevy, it wasn't your fault, you appear to be a dear person, very talented, but are diings so bad that you had to do diis film? Yeck! I'm not sure how to pick this show apart...it just sort of does it all on its own. The cast was amazing, not only do you get to see Chevy, but there's also Jack Palance and Dianne Wiest, both Oscar winners and both marvellous but just not enough to carry a poor script. The audience never really gets enough time to get to know die Robbersons. We know that they live in Pleasant Valley, diat their youngest son is in a vampire phase, diat Norman (Chase) is a big TV cop show fan and that "It's like everything's falling apart and nobody loves each other." Boo-hoo. Gag gag. If you're waiting for me to describe the plot all I need tell you is to watch die commercial. I kid you not, every good clip is diere. Chevy's house is needed by die cops to stakeout the man next door (lie's selling funny money) Chevy wants to get involved, makes a blundering fool of himself (laughlessly) and the rest of his family is bonding widi the old cop Jake (Palance). Actually, the bad-guy-next-door plot is of minor importance and, instead, the sappy, get-die-family-togedi- er-and-happy becomes paramount. Nice try, but not real- I My mom says she liked die movie, but who does she diink she is? Siskel? Sorry sister, this is a one woman column and I'm here to tell you DON'T go! Pay respect to poor Chevy and go to the video store, pick out one of his all time greats, laugh a lot, dien return the videoj'jook to the sky, pick out a star and wish really hard that next time we get back the Chevy we remember. Long winded? Maybe, but where Chevy's concerned I can't help but get emotional. (14YEARS THREESOME: Nightly: 7:10. Starting Friday 9:10 Only.

King of swing one of festival attractions By KIM STEVENSON CHILLIWACK - Reminiscing? Why not rediscover die sounds of your youth? Happily, diat era of authentic greatness and truly popular music is again recaptured when die Dal Richards Orchestra takes the stage on Friday, May 6, at die 7di annual Chilliwack Dixieland Jazz '94 Festival. Who better to be leading the current resurgence of die golden age of swing, entertaining his old fans while capturing new converts from die rock "N" roll generation, dian Vancouver's king of the dance bands? Juliette, die nationally known vocalist for die orchestra, will be attending die festival diis year and festival organizers are hoping to entice her onto die stage again! The festival, held on die May 6, 7 and 8 weekend, is primarily Dixieland jazz. Eighteen bands from all over North America will be featured in over 80 performances during die diree music- filled days, including die Mis- Beliavin' Jazz Band, Basin Street Saloon Band, Lance Harrison Dixieland Band, and many more. The festival has earned die reputation of being one of the most exciting, innovative and friendly festivals in die Pacific Northwest by music fans and musicians alike. Four sites at die Chilliwack Exhibition Grounds are magically transformed into a sidewalk cafe in New Orleans; a view of die New York skyline; or a Cajun' Cabin in a Louisiana bayou. There is the non-snrtoking, nonalcoholic Junior Jazz site, where a wonderful blend of Dixieland jazz bands, from Canadian and American high schools, not only perform and sit in widi die pros, but have die opportunity of receiving the wisdom and experiences of professional musicians at pre-festival workshops. One of die festival's special attractions is die Sunday Gospel Dal Richards Service, where, whedier you are a regular church goer, or a "wedding and funeral" church-goer, or you can't remember when you were in church last, diis is for you. It's a moving experience that you don't want to miss. This non-denominational service is for everyone and admission is free; doors open at 8:30 a.m. Odier attractions are the Mother's Day Breakfast, where families are welcome for a first rate breakfast and, at die same time, enjoy die Sunday Gospel Service, a jazz celebration of faidi.

ALDERGROVE - The last of the equipment has been hauled in and the setup is almost complete. In the kitchen people busy themselves, preparing the 'food and drinks. The sound of drums and guitars fill the air as the band does a final soundcheck. Outside the lineup grows. It's 8:00 on a Friday night, and the doors are about to open on the second Aldergrove teen "Kofi Hows" at the Kinsmen Community Center. Held once a month, this coffee house offers teens a alternative to their normal Friday night activities. To many youth workers it is the fulfilment of an idea that has been in the works for a number of years. "We had this dream to have a coffee house, but found that we were unable to fulfil our main goals by ourselves", says Brad Jersak, youth pastor at Bethel Mennonite church in Aldergrove. "We wanted to make it community centered, targeting Aldergrove and Poppy high schools. What we had in mind required facilities besides a church, sound equipment, and other people interested in helping out." Jersak's dream gained new life when he and his group attended a community meeting in December. There they met Jason Winslade', youth programmer for Langley Parks and Recreation, who liked the idea and began to put the wheels in motion. He arranged for the use of the Kinsmen Community Center once a month free of charge. Music festival BURNABY - The Vancouver Kiwanis Music Festival presents their Showcase of Stars, Friday, May 6, 8 p.m. at die Burnaby South Secondary School dieatre, 5455 Rumble Street. There are 24 young performers aged six to 18, competing in piano, woodwinds, S&fhgs, ensemble and voice for the Karl Muller Award of Excellence and $1,000 prize for best performance of the evening. Tickets are $10 at the door. Other community and youth groups became involved, donating their time and supplies. "fefS The first "Kofi Hows" was held March 4, arid was a success right from the start, with over 100 people attending. The April 8 event saw close to twice that many come out. - They come from Aldergrove, Langley, Abbotsford, and even farther. What is die attraction? "I like the people and the music," says Julia Zischka, a grade 10 student at Aldergrove Secondary and a member of die high school's drug and alcohol committee. "It's a place to go on a Friday night if you have nowhere to go." The drug and alcohol committee at Aldergrove High is one of the groups that helps to make die coffee house work. They spend die evening making mocktails and coffee for thirsty patrons. Other groups provide the food. Everything is sold at a reasonable price, and the proceeds go to help fund the different groups helping out. A two dollar cover charge at the door goes to pay for die bands that play. One commonly heard comment at each coffee house is how good it looks. A lot of time and effort is spent each Friday before opening in trying to create the right atmosphere. Posters are hung on the wall. Round tables are set up and covered widi paper so that people can doodle with the crayons provided. Couches and large easy chairs are placed along the walls for diose who like comfort. Candles placed on all the tables provide most of the room's light. The transformation from hall to coffee house is quite remarkable. One of the most impressive aspects of the "Kofi Hows" is the involvement of so many different community groups. Langley Parks and Recreation, local high school groups, churches, restaurant, \bung Life of Canada, and local businesses have all contributed a part in making the event a success. "It's definitely a true community effort," says Winslade. Jersak comments further: "This is our response to the complaint diat diere is nothing to do in Aldergrove for teens. We took that complaint seriously, and I believe the community has taken it seriously. This is one thing that teens can say is their own, and they can go do and enjoy." The coffee house will continue to run for the foreseeable future, and plans are underway to possibly hold it twice a month during the summer. Those interested can contact die Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Center at 856-2899 for more information. The next "Kofi Hows" is May 6 at 8:00, and features the band Paisley Suitcase.

What comes to mind when you think "Italian" is either pizza or lasagna. While tiiese staples are A-OK in most books - especially where kids are concerned, most of us have a far more adventuresome palate. Tired of good-for-you-salad and fast food burgers another Star staffer and I decided to stop by and see Amedeo at Italy Italy for lunch. We decided on pasta. Sounds simple enough but Amedeo offers no less dian 18 different pasta lunch entrees. I opted for "Spaghetti Gamberetti" - pasta covered in a sumptuous shrimp, cream and tomatoe sauce. My buddy chose "Pennette al Salmone" a pen shaped pasta with smoked salmon and leeks. Bodi dishes weren't exactly hard on the budget at $7.95. But, I can guarantee - diey were bodi delicious. One drawback - die portions were so big they could have fed two people - but touch my pasta and die! Next time it's "Linguine -Vongole" for me - I'm a sucker for (as my waisdine shows) baby clams and absolutely anything with garlic. The salad menu offers Ceasar, Shrimp Ceasar, Insalada Verde (green salad), Pomodoro e Cipolla (tomatoes and onions, olive oil and balsamic vinegar), and Italy Italy Salad, brimming with good diings including artichokes, mushrooms, and homemade dressing. Appetizers - an even dozen are offered on die menu including mussels, calamari, glazed mushrooms - and the Focaccia bread keeps you coming back for more. The soup section even r includes a stick-to-your-ribs minestrone. Amedeo says if you're not so hungry just drop in for a Cappuccino, Caffe Latte, Caffe Mocha or Espresso from die Espresso bar. Eat in or take out, Italy Italy is open every day for lunch (Monday to Friday) and seven days a week for dinner. Drop by and see their newly renovated eating area and great new mural decorating the outside wall at 27128A, Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, or give them a call at 856-9537. Unemployed get holiday?

MAY 4. 1994 Coghlan school works with SFU By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - The school board unanimously passed the recommendation that Otter Elementary School become a demonstration school as of September this year. The school will be a joint project with Simon Fraser University, and will be a teaching facility for the professional development of student teachers, giving them a better learning environment, where they can participate within the school as a whole, not just one class. Particular attention will be paid to the instructional methods used in teaching special needs students. The priority of the school will still be student learning, and students will study the same curriculum as they normally would, had the change not been made. Enrolment would still be the same attendance area, widi cross boundary students accepted on the basis of space. Parents who do not want dieir children to par ticipate, have to follow the same guidelines to transfer their child out of the area. It will not be an elitist school, in that it will not be receiving any extra monies other than those already allocated, but SFU has promised some additional funding for their own research. The goal is not to move too quickly with the implementation, but to give staff, administration, and particularly students and parents time to decide which features to implement and in what order. For example, it might be a good idea for die first year to focus mainly on student teachers and the next year to expand and focus on other aspects of teaching. Meetings have been held with concerned citizens from the community and the response hasr been positive from all sides. Parental, support is also very strong, with so far only one parent disagreeing with the idea. Garbage, sewer rates down LANGLEY - Township residents can look forward to reductions in their garbage collection and sewage rates this coming, year — sort of. While garbage collection is definitely being cut from $124 to $105 per year, the sewage rates are somewhat more nebulous. The sewer rate bylaw notes that sewer user rates will drop 10.4 percent because the Greater Vancouver Sewage and Drainage District has changed its calculation method from area assessment to flow assessment. "I can't believe my ears," exclaimed coun. Steve Ferguson. "(Langley township) wanted flow measurement and we got it." Ferguson's enthusiasm waned somewhat when coun. Muriel Arnason pointed out that the GVS&DD had earlier this year served notice of a 25 percent increase to rates. Administrator Jim Godfrey confirmed Arnason's comment but added diat an even larger decrease than the 10.4 percent could be expected with implementation of flow assessment. The minimum annual charge to domestic dwelling sewer users in 1994 will be $189.78. Rates for multi-dwelling, commercial and institutional users will be assessed at 80 percent of the volume of water delivered to each site, again with minimum annual charge of $189.78. A more complex, formula assesses industrial users. However, sewer utility frontage taxes have been reduced from $7.94 to $7.11 per metre.

The minister was speaking to hospital administrators and board members at the annual meeting of the BC health Association in Victoria. "For too long our health care system has not been properly managed. We applaud the minister for his foresight in instituting diese changes to die funding of hospitals," said Marie MacKay, BCNU treasurer. "Nurses in BC will be pleased to hear that die minister has introduced measures which will assist hospitals to plan dieir responses to the move away from hospital- based to community care. The announced new funding formula, multi-year planning targets, two year budgeting, and provision of expertise from the ministry to help with planning is a positive change." Nurses were also pleased to leam that the minister will be establishing community planning groups to co-ordinate healdi care delivery in each community. Cut curbs ; S applauded VANCOUVER - The Hospital Employees' Union has welcomed, health minister Paul Ramsey's announcement that hospitals will not be able to reduce services to patients without consultation with the ministry, health care workers and the community. "From the beginning of the reform process, HEU has stood for protection of services to patients. We backed this up by our participation in the Employment Security Agreement, which is intended to protect services and jobs during restructuring," said HEU secretary-business manager, Carmela Allevato. She said Ramsey's announcement, made to a conference of hospital administrators in Victoria follows strong appeals from HEU and other health care unions for action to protect services. Health care put to severe test VICTORIA - The British Columbia Health Association, representing the full range of health care facilities and agencies, says health care administrators are being put to a severe test by Health Minister Paul Ramsey's challenge delivered at BCHA's annual general meeting in Victoria, April 28. "In challenging governing boards and administration to introduce yet further efficiencies in a system that is already among die most efficient in Canada, there must be recognition of the time period that will be necessary to find where and how to make such changes without sacrificing access to services," says BCHA president Herman Crewson. Ramsey in his address claimed that virtually every hospital in the province can obtain efficiency improvements through internal measures, or sharing administrative or support functions with nearby facilities, and by introducing new management techniques such as changes in clinical practices to be negotiated with medical and nursing staff. Crewson says BCHA has encouraged shared administration between facilities for many years, and a number are now in place. Hie association in its submission to the Royal Commission on Health Care and Costs recommended a "continuum of care" across facilities so that the patient or resident receives easy access to the system and appropriate placement. Community Health Councils will enable this to happen, but before this can occur community care needs to be strengthened. WCB trends worrisome to all VANCOUVER - Workers in B.C. could end up suffering if current trends in financial efficiency and service delivery continue at the Workers Compensation Board, says a group representing provincial employers. Dave Robertson, chairman of die Employers' Forum to die WCB, says in the past five years die cost of claims has jumped Nurses ready to walk soon VANCOUVER - BC Nurses' Union has asked mediator Don Cott to book out of the dispute between nurses from four lower mainland municipalities and negotiators from the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Nurses served 72 hour strike notice April 22, and Cott was appointed at the request of the employer April 24. Nurses from Richmond, Burnaby, Vancouver and the North Shore have voted 85 per cent in favour of strike action to support demands for common terms and conditions among die four bargaining units. Municipal nurses have been without a contract for 28 months, though progress had been made on less contentious items in the past three weeks. over $300-million and administrative costs have doubled to $185-miilion at die WCB while the number of reported claims has stayed about die same. The forum is a broad-based organization of employer associations which deals solely with WCB issues. Membership includes virtually every major employer association in B.C. Robertson says B.C. Federation of Labor 'secretary-treasurer Angela Scliira's recent criticism of employers' concerns show a lack of understanding of die real issue. "What must be understood is that die WCB performs a very worthwhile function yet we are witnessing extremely negative trends over die past five years in financial and service efficiency. Neither workers' nor employers' interests are well served by diese circumstances," he said. Robertson said the WCB should focus its resources and policies to reverse die trends that are eroding die viability of die system. In addition, Robertson said changes in WCB accounting procedures in 1993 maslcOT die fact diat die unfunded liability would have been $581-million instead of the $191-million reported.

McCarthy resigns THE ALDERGROVE STAR. MAY 4. 1994 19 VANCOUVER - Social Credit leader Grace McCarthy announced her retirement from politics, Tuesday. Her announcement seemed to surprise some, although her opponents were quick to say she should have done it after losing the Matsqui byelection to the Liberals and Mike de Jong. This was followed by defection of three of the six Socred MLAs to the provincial Reform party. The party had been decimated also by resignations of key party executives in recent days, citing difficulties in working with McCarthy. Others, such as Liberal leader Gordon Campbell and NDJgymin- ister Glen dark were more flattering in their praise of her past accomplishments.

Avid gardeners who have been eageriy awaiting the arrival of entry forms in their local realty offices will be happy to hear that diey have arrived. The Fraser Villey Real Estate Board's 17di annual Residential Garden Contest is now underway. More than 100 splendid gardens will be competing for top honours in six categories: Best use of small space (patio or container gardens); Best city lot size (1/4 acre or less); Best use of large space (larger than a 1/4 acre); Best new garden (two years old or less); Best of past winners - large space; and Best of past winners - small space. Last year the judges raved about the explosions of colour, die perfect, jewel-like ponds and die serene alcoves found along meandering paths through perfect shrubbery. "Fraser Valley residents take great pride in dieir properties," says president Ruth Boulton. Our garden contest is our way of showing our appreciation for die beauty diey add to our communities." Entries close June 21; judging takes place between July 4 and 8. In August winners are invited to a slide show and reception where they receive framed art prints and die accolades of dieir gardening peers. Judges look for neatness of borders and lawns, colour in flower beds and originality in die use of materials like pavers, ornaments, ponds and rockery. And, of course, die overall healdi and vitality of a well-maintained and well-loved garden should shine dirough. The gardens are as individual as die gardeners. Last year Jack Groenliof of Abbotsford showed what can be done in a manufac- tured-home park. Wayne Wright of Surrey took advantage of a sloping terrain to install a waterfall and stream, resulting in a garden diat looks tike a scenic postcard. Many entries featured exemplary collections, such as the ornamental diistie collection of Bill and Doris Davy of Aldergrove. The day lily collection - the largest in Canada - of Pam and Tom Erickson of Aldergrove. And die cactus collection of William and Carla Bischoff of Surrey. The garden of Elizabeth Nordahl, 82, of Aldergrove, will be hard to beat in die past winner, small space, category. A stroke lias left her the use of just one hand, but her patio garden, which is ablaze with sweet peas, zinnias, snap dragons, lobelias, geraniums and marigolds, is truly an inspiration.

MAY 4. 1994 Teachers lobby for local bargaining Seniors have learned art of patience By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Diane Gorton, president of the Langley Teacher's Association has asked the school board not to agree to the government's new plan to implement province-wide bargaining. She said that it is important to maintain the right to bargain locally, which will benefit not only teachers, but students, parents and trustees as well, and she made three main points against die plan. The first was that local autonomy sets standards that are responsive to local needs. Currendy parents, teachers and trustees have an impact on the decisions made at the bargaining table, and it is feared that decisions made in Victoria will not adequately address local issues. It is believed that more control is needed at the local level, widi teachers having the ability to bar- Two arrested inarmed jewelry heist MATSQUI - Police have arrested two suspects, believed to be involved in the robbery of Aven Jewellers last week. During the incident, a scuffle occurred between one of the suspects and die owner causing the sawed-off shotgun used in the holdup to discharge into the floor. Police have ascertained that one of die suspects, whom they arrested without incident, was injured in die leg, possibly by pellets from the shotgun. The injury is not serious. The man, Klinton Mosher, of no fixed address, and a young offender, both appeared in Provincial Court last Friday facing charges of robbery along with various weapons offences. Police are still investigating and further charges are expected to be laid against them and two other people suspected of/ilfe^ volvement in the hold-up. gain with boards, that in turn have the ability to set and control budgets. The second point made was that local autonomy preserves the uniqueness of Langley. There are currendy many locally developed courses that personalise die prescribed curricula, making it more applicable to Langley students. Many initiatives, supported by the board, could be in jeopardy widi the proposed bargaining system. Some of these include elementary counselling, Pacific Rim focus, and language programs. It is also a concern diat future ideas may not be given appropriate consideration. The most important point was diat, working locally as a team the teachers can provide die best education for their students. Decisions made regarding teachers' working conditions direcdy affect die students and local bargaining about these issues results in the Langley school ^system being responsive to its students. This is especially important when it comes to class size, and the instruction and integration of special needs students. During die past year the LTA and the board have come together to improve their relationship and have worked together to solve problems and find solutions satisfactory to all parties involved, said Gorton. When bargaining is done on a provincial level there is a third party involved, which could lead to misunderstandings if both sides cannot present their own views direcdy. The conclusion is that there is litde benefit for anyone in the public education system to be gained by province-wide bargaining. The informed; students, teachers, parents and trustees will lose their decision making powers to the less informed bureaucrats in Victoria should provincial bargaining be given the go- ahead. The board has listened to the LTA's position on collective bargaining and will be considering it over the next few weeks.

EMERGENCY 9-1-1 ADMINISTRATION 888-7755 17-2 By MAUDIE MacpHERSON ALDERGROVE - "Patience is a virtue" In a banking house die othen day standing in a lineup of nineteen people I found this old adage to be correct. Two tellers were in business but one was completely engrossed in attending to one aistomefjffie whole time I: was there. Ldidn't fault die other teller but I did wonder why everyone was out to lunch. Don't forget die monthly meeting of die OAP, on Friday, May 6 at 1:30 p.m. at die hall. Phyllis Hamberg will be the guest speaker. Her subject will be the Agricultural AssociationYY The Choral Group is happy to report that the 14th annual concert last Monday was a real success. There was an excellent crowd of well over a hundred people. "Ned's Girls", a trio of blind girls and their dog Ned, who performed were most entertaining; also another group, a man on a harmonica and a lady on guitar >j were enjoyed by everyone. Then there was the Choral Group. Gordon Force .^ and Mary Sansome performed solos, and both did a fine job. Gordon donned a colorful cloak to per form "Any Dream Will Do". We were the recipients^fof many compliments which is gratifying. During the year we feel we bring cheer to many shut-ins. At Wednesdays dance the SO- SO was won by Ab Kay and Del Overberk. The spot dance went to Rose Johnson and Bob Coutts. Visitors from out of town were Louise and Ray Taylor of Winnipeg. There were about 70 at die Saturday dance.

The draw went to Margaret Collins. NHL hockey moving on as it should with the Canucks continuing on to the next round after disposing of the Calgary Flames. Wasn't that a great series? Thursday carpet bowling in the hall at 1:30 was well attended - two carpets in play. I managed to knock the jack off twice, so wasn't too popular but nevertheless we won two games. I mention this because I heard said, "This won't be in the paper". Seven tables were filled for whist, Thursday evening, and it was an enjoyable evening as usual. The Network will be holding a Garage Sale, June 4. Keep diis in mind: perhaps you will find items to donate as you do your spring housecleaning. I will mention more about this at a later date.

The other day my former batman and now my brodier-in-law, Corporal Hideous Golighdy, was walking my dog Hider when he bumped into his old pal, Able Seaman Horrible Noseworthy. He was here appar- endy visiting his aged uncle, Horrid Noseworthy, Esq., in our tranquil community. Not having seen each odier for several decades they decided to repair to our local, The Fox and Hounds. Hider, of course, was tied outside and told to "stay." After a period of time and several dozen large glasses of nut brown ale diey became involved in a debacle with odiers in the pub. Golighdy told me diey were lumberjacks because every time he and Nosewordiy were knocked down die curs yelled, "timber." Later diey appeared at my door accompanied by two of Aldergrove's finest and 1 was requested to keep them quiet until such time as they had sobered up. Several days later Golighdy told me they had charged their litde stay in the pub to my chitty and I have already been reminded about diis by the barman when I met him at die wine and beer shop. Needless to say, we were not amused. Because Langley Hospice Society LANGLEY - The Langley Hospice Society is accepting applications for a summer student to develop a public relations and marketing program.

Signed: Yrs. Fitfully, Brigadier Hugo (Huge) Gallop (ret.) My dear Huge, You do have your troubles. I, myself, have seen your batman at die Fox and believe me, he is no one diat regular folk would associate with. However, what really bodiers me is why Hider was tied up outside while die shenanigans were going on. My advice is, don't let Golighdy walk your dog anymore. * * * '-^SNi^ Dear Annabelle, My sister is marrying some sort of maniac mamma's boy at the end of diis month. I am writing to ask you if I should have her committed to prevent diis insanity. All die two of them do is argue about silverware and sex. From what I gadier, he is against bodi. What's your opinion? Signed: Big sister. That sounds like deja-vu to me. I say leave them alone and let them get on with it. The worst tiling that could happen is he will have messy fingers and she will be frustrated. * ♦ * Dear Readers, Two weeks ago my husband and I were awakened in the middle of die night by a loud crash which came from our bedroom closet. We investigated and found my 35-year-old shoe bag had broken and fallen on the floor. I spent several days looking around Aldergrove for a new one but none was to be found. On Monday I wandered into a new store called A and E Variety, newly opened last week in the Aldergrove Mall. To my surprise and delight several shoe bags were hanging on die wall at the back. Needless to say my shoes .have a new home and we have a new store in town. Visit them- you too may find what you have been looking for. Shop locally, that's the ticket! Love, Annabelle.
