— BYPASS LEFT FOR LATER REVIEW Y ^ Town growth plan goes to land commission ALDERGROVE - The township's application to the Agricultural Land Commission to remove some 500 acres surrounding the town from the land freeze was approved by council Monday. The highly contentious issue of a proposed Fraser Highway bypass remains part of the application, however its exact alignment will be left for a later decision when the highways ministry decides it's needed. A property at 2456 - 272 Street was also removed from the application at the owner's request. The township's proposal for development of future plans for this community follow the opinions of most who spoke at a packed and lengthy public hearing held here -on June 6. .Mayor John Scholtens has said that a previously proposed alignment of the bypass was not necessarily the best location, and there was "room" in the ALR-exemp- tion application to move it further south. Township planners said it was "beyond the jurisdiction of the township to plan for such a route, but it is in the interest of the township to ensure that a route is Baby-kissing is usually reserved for politicians, but four month old Carter Williams was more interested in ^meeting the first-ever Fraser River swimmer, Fin Donnelly when he arrived at Matsqui Trail Park, Friday. Mayor George Ferguson and MLA John van Dongen also got their chance to shake the marathoner's hand and leave cheques behind for Donnelly's fund-raiser for community river enhancement projects. Donnelly was slowed by tidal currents in this stretch of his 1,300 kilometre swim from the river's source, in the shadow of Mount Terry Fox, to the mouth at Delta. The water's about ten degrees warmer here than it was at the beginning, but he was sorry to remark that the pollution was noticeably worse after Agassiz, and especially after seemingly "pristine days on end" before arriving at Prince George. However, he ran into a positive sign, a seal under the Mission bridge - "He was very curious about me." Donnelly said he kept focussed on the challenge of swimming 70 kilometres a day because, "It's the greatest river in the world and we have to keep it that way."

Hydro to build an electrical power plant to sell electricity to B.C. Hydro cheaper than they can manufacture it. Clem Palevich made a presentation to council at last Monday's meeting and outlined where the Be alert for credit card fraud ABBOTSFORD - Police are warning merchants to be aware of a credit card fraud operating in the area. Merchants are telephoned with an order for expensive merchandise and notified, that the caller will send someone around later that day to pick it.up. Payment is made verbally by Mastercard or Visa. The sale is usually accepted by the credit card machine, and it is not until the real owner *ff the card gets the statement, that the fraud is discovered. The card numbers were obtained falsely in every instance. All merchants are advised that, if they have to do a credit card transaction over the phone, to obtain a telephone number of the person calling and reconfirm the sale, get picture identification from the person picking up the merchandise, and obtain the licence plate number of the vehicle used to pick up the merchandise. *-%B proposed plant would be, and how it would operate. He also outlined AES as a company and supplied each councillor with an information package. Several councillors expressed that, before they could endorse the proposal, more information and public information meetings, part of the process for such huge projects, would be needed. Since the letter to B.C. Hydro is needed by October 11, council approved it subject to public input and an environmental assessment. The plant is proposed to be located on a seven acre site in the Huntingdon area, and transmission lines would be built to connect with Clayburn Station. It would also be close to the natural ""®I$ pipeline, which would be Uie power supply. Please see page 16...

Abbotsford mayor George Ferguson told The Star that he's heard many constituents' concerns about the alignment, but supported planning for a bypass in princi ple, provided his council and taxpayers had input on its location. He said he couldn't support alternative suggestions for expanding Fraser Highway to four lanes through Aldergrove: 'That would make the town about as attractive as walking on the freeway." He also observed that the towns of Aldergrove and Abbotsford are Please see page 24...

"There's a lot of concern," said coun. Steve Burton, Monday. "We're working on it, bear with us," while the township experiments with a new disinfection and filtration system to counter high levels of manganese. The manganese is in itself not a danger, and the system has never failed monthly tests under national safe drinking water standards, but the manganese has an unpleasant taste and odour. Chlorine will be injected into the system at all three well heads, near 272 Street and 26 Avenue, beginning the week of Oct. 16, with the aim of spreading chlorine throughout the entire water system. Initial chlorine doses will be small but gradually increase until residual can be measured at the far eiids of the system. The consultant will continually monitor water during the trial period — about two months — to determine bacteriological quality and possible by-products. Pilot filtration of the water will occur simultaneously, but this treated water will not be released back into the public system and will be evaluated separately. During this experiment, residents will notice "a difference in -*v$"*acll and taste" ~ hopefully, for the better — but there is no reason to fear for safety at any time. However, public notification of the pilot program will be carried out prior to its start, through advertisements and mail-outs. The Aldergrove water quality improvement program will also experiment this year with pigging (scouring) of watennains, cleaning of the west reservoir and tem- 'porarily removing it from service to see its impact on water quality and fire flows. As council noted, there are many Aldergrove water users anxiously awaiting results of this pilot project, which will determine budget priorities for next year's township water program in Aldergrove. Refugee attacks guard By MONIQUE GALAZKA VANCOUVER - Convicted criminal Bounjan Aai Inihavong was ordered kept in custody by adjudicator Daphne Shaw Dyck at his monthly detention review hearing last week. She upheld the April 4 ruling that Inthavong is a danger to the Canadian public after Case Presenting Officer Murray Wilkinson made it known, that Inthavong had verbally and physically assaulted a guard at the Vancouver Pretrial Detention Centre, where he is awaiting deportation. It is stated in a July 8 Inmate Offence Report, that Inthavong swore at the guard and physically struck him in the head. 'The.wbrds used by Inthavong, as quoted in the report, are not in my language, and I won't repeat them here," said Wilkinson. "As far as I am concerned they should never even have been recorded. "Inthavong's first reaction to an offence is to strike out, and if he did it in that environment, can we risk letting him out?" Chris Elgin, Inthavong's lawyer, defended his client's actions by saying that the facility, where he is being held, is a stressful environment and incidents, like the one reported, occur almost daily. He went on to say that Inthavong does not deny an altercation took place, but docs deny that it happened as reported. In another surprising turn of Please see page 14...

On Wednesday, September 20, police conducted a search of a residence in the 10200 block of 156 Street. Seized in the raid were quantities of marijuana and LSD, some from kids as young as 12. Bryan Morrey, 32, has been charged with Trafficking a narcotic (marijuana), Possession for the purpose of trafficking a narcotic (marijuana), and Possession for the purpose of trafficking a restricted drug (LSD). Shawn Stewart, 32, has been charged with Trafficking a narcotic (marijuana), Trafficking a restricted drug (LSD), Possession for the purpose of trafficking a narcotic (marijuana), Possession for the purpose of trafficking a restricted drug (LSD), and Breach of probation. Police are reminding parents of their responsibility to know where their children are at all times, and who they are associating with. Streetproofing at an early age could be beneficial in protecting your child from the many types of predators that exist.

KENBARRELL 857-1996 7101 Home St., Mission Building approved, with 'tree' proviso ALDERGROVE - A proposed hew office building received township council's third reading^ Monday, with the provision that the developer and neighbour come to agreement On the issue of a treed buffer between the two properties. Councillors Trudi Campen and Steve Burton argued against the amendment, but were overruled by Heather McMullan, Muriel Arnason and Steve Ferguson. Mel Kositsky was not present. Campen said she had "a philosophical problem with this scenario" as the project proponents are being asked to plant trees on a neighbouring property, but McMullan said the developers had been given "good concessions and should try to keep a good neighbour happy." The proponents have requested a "down-zoning" from C-3 to C- 14 to build the two-storey offices at 26641 Fraser Highway. There is currently a rundown house on Uie land. Death penalty vote demanded FORT St.JOHN - City council here has called for an immediate, binding national referendum on the reinstatement of the death penalty. Councillor Pat Pimm instigated the recent move in what he said was a response to the kidnapping, sexual assault and killing of 10- year-old Surrey girl Melissa Deley. Pimm said there's no real evidence that capital punishment acts as a deterrent, but added a killer "sure as hell won't do the deed again." Councillors Pimm, Jean Pryn- dik, Peter Vandergugten and Mayor Steve Thorlakson backed the resolution while councillors Audrey Bartcll and Frank Koop were opposed. Councillor Joe Kirschncr was not present. "Anytime you kill anybody, you do not have Ihc right to live," Pimm said. He added that right to live is even less valid when somebody attacks and kills a child. The suspected murderer of Melissa Deley committed suicide while being held in jail.

POLICE OUT OK TUE STREET! Logic does not go well with referenda By TIM NAUMETZ Hard-liners on Parliament Hill were fed up when Lucien Bouchard and a couple of his sourpuss separatist MPs said they won't stop even if they lose the Quebec referendum this fall. It was a perfect example of contorted separatist logic. Bouchard left a meeting with MPs and said the rest of the country can expect another referendum on sovereignty, at some point, if a majority of Quebeckers reject the idea on October 30. Yet, in a news conference later, even Bouchard admitted Quebeckers are suffering from constitutional fatigue. He was speaking in a different sense of course, as he responded to a question about whether it's possible Quebec and the rest of the country will ever reach an agreement without separation. "People are fed up with it, even in Quebec, people will not want to hear another attempt (at constitutional' settlement)," Bouchard said. "We know it's a deadlock, a dead issue." But, as a journalist pointed out, why then would the separatists try another referendum if they lose the vote on October 30? In answer, Bouchard said: "For the last shot, the last time, the last one, the real last one, the real last one by a clear decision for a yes. The only way to get rid of the issue is to vote yes to a referendum. Any different decision will be revisiting the issue forever." Well, isn't that delicious? You can imagine how Bouchard and Jacques Parizeau would react if the Canadian government decided to hold its own referendum in Quebec if the Yes side won next month. They would throw fits. But, considering the ambiguity of the question the PQ has dilYJSed, it woiild be .perfectly tL£Jt~Jjr~iF^.r~Ajr^} ■'. ' JjUa ■' -*.■*•** S .• you want to separate from Canada, or not? There was another example of separatist logic. It seems a referendum, and the democracy involved in it, is okay for Quebeckers, but not for the rest of the country. At another juncture in his news conference, Bouchard was asked whether he would accept the idea of a referendum in the rest of the country to accept or reject any terms of separation reached between Ottawa and Quebec. He dismissed the idea out of hand. "If the referendum would be held to know what is the answer of Canadians, it would be a waste of money," Bouchard said. "We all know that 100 percent of English Canada doesn't accept Quebec to become sovereign." Well, that's about the most ridiculous statement he's come out with so far. Personally, I know of at least three friends who want Quebec to vote Yes. I'm sure that view is reflected in any circle outside La Belle Provence. Bouchard added that a referendum by the rest of the country; would be "an attempt to disrupt • the democracy of Quebec, to submerge the Yes vote in Quebec in a sea of No, and this will be the last straw." So, what would other Canadians do if their governments accepted a settlement with Quebec? Sit on their thumbs? Of course, this will never happen because the PQ is going to lose the referendum. But if Quebeckers do lose their senses and vote Yes - rejecting at the same time all the pogey and welfare and industrial benefits they get from Canada - it won't be as rosy as Bouchard seems to expect. The rest of the country would tion in a stTaigmfofwaraway. Do the door on their owntermsr Make 'em pay Editor, The Star, Sir, September 11, 1995 was a day taxpayers must remember. That was the day that every Member of Parliament had the chance to opt out of Uie outrageously rich parliamentary pension plan. The good news is that 57 MPs - fifty-one Reformers and six Liberals - had the guts and principle to put their conscience ahead of cash. By doing so, they saved taxpayers an estimated $33-million. The bad news is that die odier 238 MPs, who decided to keep clinging to the pension through, could potentially cost taxpayers more than $218-million in lifetime pension payouts. It's wrong for MPs to keep a pension dial's far richer than anything Canadians in the private sector could ever hope to afford. Even worse, Liberal MPs are keeping this perk while hypocritically preaching restraint to the rest of us. It's a case of "do as I say - not as I do". Fortunately, taxpayers can still; have the last word. When Uie next federal election rolls around, , remember September 11, 1995. If your MP refused to do the right thing and opt out on that day, then make him or her pay with your vote. That's the only tactic many MPs seem to understand. DAVID SOMERVILLE ;; National Citizens' Coalition Principlej| all wrong Editor, The Star, Sir, I have been informed, from reliable sources, that School District #35 paid approximately $12,000 for construction of a student smoking shelter at D.W. Poppy school. It may have been built as a material shelter to conceal the truth. As a taxpayer I strongly object to the expenditure of any public money on a structure which, by it heing there, encourages students to smoke. I am sure a majority of taxpayers would agree. Although the amount of dollars is small, it is the principle that is important. I am told the reason for construction was the students had no sheltered outside place to smoke during inclement weather and were causing a problem by their use of adjacent private properties. Apparently smoking is not allowed inside school buildings. First, students should not be allowed to smoke on any school property. However, as this may be impossible to enforce, then surely those who smoke, or their parents, should have paid for the shelter at D.W.^)ppy. Second, and a big question, how many other schools in our district have smoking facilities paid for by the taxpayers at large? If students are allowed to smoke on school property, then I suggest each addict pay an annual assessment to cover the cost of an anti-smoking educational program. In the future we should solve smoker, or other addicted student problems, with their resources so that responsibility is part of the solution,. Langley LETTERS TO TH§EDITOR We must face our shame Editor, The Star, Sir, Letter writer Ted Hansen wants to know the reason why (The Star, Sept. 20) groups of First Nations dissidents have been raising hell in several parts of Canada this summer. With his own special blend of bigotry and ignorance, he answers his own question. It is the impenetrable minds of the Ted Hansens of this country that raise the pressures of frustration to the bursting point among some of the native people. "We have fed, housed, clothed, educated (if they wanted it) for the last 125 years," crows Hansen, adding that "these people" should now be told to pull up their socks and join us. The invading Europeans' goodness and charity toward the occupants of this continent was first expressed by the grab, with force as necessary, of all the natives' territories. As an incidental treat, the foul diseases of White society killed off roughly. half of the aboriginal folk. On occasion, Whites livened things up with a kind of germ warfare by handing out blankets infected with smallpox. But our goodness and mercy were only just beginning. We made their language, their customs and their religion illegal. We ordered that native children go to our boarding schools, for learning and, quite often, sexual abuse. Parents, who disobeyed, had their children kidnapped. Instead of fairly sharing the land and its resources, our leaders decided it would be cheaper in the long run to force the natives onto Reserves and make them wards of the state by supplying the housing and food they could no longer count on obtaining for themselves. Thus we robbed them not just of their land and their heritage, but of their pride, their dignity, their hopes and ambitions. With our superior armament, we wiped out all the vast bison herds ^o; -'Whites could farm the Prairies while the natives starved. We threaten the existence of the once abundant salmon, poison the air and waters, and invite foreign!' controlled corporations to come in and strip away the land's natural resources, fef*-^ We can't go back and wipe away our crimes against the First Nations people. But surely the answer is not simply continuing the White rulers' prime directive of keeping the natives penned up and shut up, so we can continue to avoid facing our shame, our obligations and our humanity. TONY EBERTS^: Aldergrove. Gone are good ol'days te£&6£m Editor, The star, Sir, Why a 'cultural' centre? Please hear out an old-timer. I look back at the "good old days" with social events, drama clubs, etc. in the community halls. We got together and enjoyed our neighbours' company, and enjoyed working on various projects together. We met on the B.C. Electric interurban or the bus to Langley and could immediately carry on our warm, friendly relationships, exchanging news and experiences, because we knew' each other so well. However, those times and the tight little communities are gone. We live in a larger "pillage" which does not give us nearly as much satisfaction. We know our neighbours only to wave as we ,pass in cars. The computer threatens to push us farther apart, isolated from friendly contact even when we shop and do business. I remember^when we came back after die War, how we were fired up with ideals and enthusiasm to make a better world. I still believe in those ideal*?.- not based on material advantages, but through the development of the spirit, enriching our lives, bodi as individuals and in the community. "ProgJse}ss" seems to be-pulling us in the wrong direction. A cultural centre would encourage, the values we are losing. I appreciate the many services and amenities we have gained over the years. A cultural centre should be next on the list. Withi*tJ>day's ethnic mix we have much to benefit from getting to know other cultures. I know through personal experience gained from English, Chinese, Japanese and German cultural backgrounds of those married into my family, how much pleasure and enjoyment they give. I like seeing my friends' children growing and blossoming in the arts, but they have to make.a. -music in rugn sc !the school band and enjpying it, but they completely dropped it after leaving school, because tiiere were no facilities locally for con- . ftnuing - not even to become great musicians, but for fun. A cultural centre would provide a focus for cultural growth throughout Langley. Further on a personal level, I like quality entertainment but find the hassle of the long drive and heavy traffic encountered getting to Vancouver, is not worth it. I St^aiatfacilities close to home. * %Jl live in a part of Langley where cable TV, public water system and sewage hookup are not . available. However, put me down as preferring a cultural centre over a sewage hookup any day. The whole matter seems to be getting bogged down in a "chicken or the egg" discussion of which comes first: the theatre or other facilities; and also, should a decision be made before or after an amalgamation vote. I agree with Pat Mugridge that we have many good corporate citizens who will get behind the project once it has begun.

The junior team - supported by Woodlawn Funeral Home - started the away games against Surrey by downing their opposition eight to 0. Even the fact that Surrey had five over-age players against Abby's under 19 side only made the very young team more determined, said coach Steve Verdonk. But it was the Third Division game referee who aptly described the mood and play of the Abby players. After the Third's - the Eagle Trailers - had trounced their opposition 32 to 14 the referee told stand-off Steve Rowell that: "I like the way your team played. You played with purpose." Rowell, who took over as Captain when regular skipper Clayton Radons left with an injury, said: "We controlled the game throughout "Our forwards produced the ball very well, then we quickly moved the ball wide with our backs. Our backs had great support from our forwards and we then produced speed to the finish." Rowell said the referee could not have picked a better word to express how Abbotsford played. "With p-u-r-p-o-s-e," mused die Abby Skipper, "how right he was." This attitude also caught the Abbotsford second Division fifteen - the Murphy-Wakcficld's - who beat their Surrey opponents 24 to 15. While happy with the win, coach Mike Lewis said his side did not hate quite as much consistent purpose as the Uiirds. "We played some really good rugby at times and there was some hard effort but I am still looking for more consistency and improvements in some areas," said the former Welsh prop forward.

"for playing very well considering it was their first time playing for the Seconds this year." Another playing his first game for the team was Rhys Evans, a standoff from Wales, who is teaching in the Chilliwack area. "He played much better in the second half but I thought he did quite well considering he's not had a game since March, this is a new team and he's only been at a couple of practices. Scoring tries for the Seconds were centre back Ken Edh on a crash ball, prop forward Donny Small from a loose scrum, winger Ross Trout and lock forward Mark Wapples with Evans kicking two converts. All die games were played in over 30 C heat and Abbotsford's First fifteen - Larry's Furniture - were again hot. They purposefully rumb;Ied up last year's divisional finalists 37 to 8. "We had a good first half and were very efficient," said club head coach David Kyle. "We scored a textbook perfect try, one of the best I've seen in years," beamed Kyle. "Our scrum produced the ball and with support we moved it quickly with overlaps to the winger Feter MacDonald who scored in the left comer." What particularly pleased Kyle was die play of players who have been moved up because of injuries in the first (wo games. "We have a lot of people hurt but this showed that we have some good bench strength and that is very encouraging," he said. Kyle noted that former Hamilton Ticat lineman Brian Moysy- chuk "has really been improving considering he's only played about 10 rugby games." He said that the big light-head prop forward carried the ball well "and is not losing die hall when he goes into contact." Eighth mail Mike Schmidt had another good game scoring two tries. Outside centre back Ken Gray and inside centre Jesse Curtis, hook Don Smith, each scored one try. Stand off Rob Fhillips hit on two penalties and one convert.

Hal Regents tie on the road CHILLIWACK - A 2-2 tie was the result for the Aldergrove Regents, in their first road game of the season against the Chilliwack Grizzlies." The Ull Soccer action took place Saturday in the heat at A.D. Rundle Field in Chilliwack. The Regents dominated the first half, leading 2-0 at the half. The two goals were scored by Colby Hansen and Blake Lawson. Brodie Sorensen and Cody Heath backed the team up with excellent checking. But the Grizzlies roared back scoring two unanswered goals in the second half. The Regents charged, led by the strong play of Jurek Szymczak and Nicholas Sandau, but many shots failed to hit the mark. It was a see-saw batde for the last five minutes with both sides having several chances to gain the lead. Next action for the Regents is this Saturday at Aldergrove Community Park against Abbotsford Cougars. FIRST AID TIPS!

EDUCATIONAL SERVICE* Cougars claw Celtics By TIM BARRY ALDERGROVE - The sun was hot and the goals were plentiful as the Aldergrove Cougars won their second game of the season by a score of 6-0. A brilliant game was played by all. Brian Psjad (who collected his first shut out of the season) came out from between the sticks late in the second half to score a fantastic top comer volley shot. Three of the six goals scored came from Stantino Andreao, who had a strong game in midfield along with Daniel Lanigen. The lack of goals from the opposition was due to a great performance by Brian Noga, Kyle Barry, Ryan Hammond and Graham Gielens, on the back line.

Pee Wee Mavericks 48 - DC Rams 0. "We're on a roll" said head coach Skip Mountain, commenting on the fourth straight win for the Mavericks, as they trounced die Delta Rams with 48 unanswered points.

After two quarters of football the Langley Mustangs had earned a 15-0 lead. Quarterback Ryan Cawdell ran one touchdown in, and half back Russ Harper ran fifty yards for the other touchdown. The play from the half dll the three minute warning whistle saw the Delta Canadians totally dominate the lack luster performance of the Mustangs. During that time the Canadians scored 22 points and took the lead from the Mustangs. At that point in the game, in a show of leadership, team players Russ Harper and Blair Atkinson delivered an attitude adjustment to their fellow players. "Those two players seemed to re-ignite the Mustangs" reported coach Tim Chesham. An extra effort by the defensive line resulted in a blocked punt where the loose ball ended up in the Delta Canadians end zone. An alert group of Mustangs led by Josh Fotheringham recovered the ball for a touchdown. Moments later the now "powered up Mustangs" led by Russ Harper scored another TD in the closing minute. After the win a soaking wet coach Tim Chesham singled out Harper as the Mustangs MVP and, as is now the Mustang tradition, awarded Harper the game ball. , Chesham also noted the superior play of Bubba Scharft, Noel West, Rob Kenny, Ryan Cawdell, Dwayne Weiss and Blair Atkinson. Weiss was awarded the game ball fore the Renfrew outing where he was credited with 15 tackles, and Shane Findlay the game ball for the Surrey game where he scored three TD's.

Jesse Kirner, Kyle Long- muir and Kyle Mears scored single touchdowns with Josh Long- muir scoring two touchdowns - one of which came off from an interception. Stephen Reed and Scott Garrett played great on the line. "The best game they played - a whole team effort" says coach Dave Gifford. Bantam Posse 6 - Richmond 21. It was indeed an exciting game between the Posse and Richmond as the score was still 7 to 6 in the fourth quarter. Coach Helps said "We played a very tight game but just could not move the ball against what proved to be a very experienced team". The coaching staff would like to praise Jeff Hurd for a great running attack, Ryan Jones for super line backing and Raff Scott who had three sacks on defense. The Posse's touchdown was scored by Jeff Hurd. The Posse will be training hard for their next road game. .- ■ 'agaihst'ReHfrew'iiip Vancouver>*§&**' By ED BIEKER ALDERGROVE - Flyers U-17 girls soccer team started their season early this year with the Langley Cup on Labor Day weekend. As there were no teams in their silver division, the girls had to play teams from the U-17 gold division. Historically, the Flyers have not done well playing teams in this division, with lop-sided scores being the norm, but this weekend was different A 0-2 score with Richmond Selects (the tournament winner) and a Sunday loss of 3-0 to the Vancouver Vipers proved this year's Flyers might be a team to deal with.

Horrific crimes have been committed, trouble in the Gustafsen Lake area has come to a head, and now the referendum in Quebec is a big topic. But I guess we'll just have to move on. My travels this summer consisted of a trip on the Royal Hudson and back on the Brittania, a trip to Victoria to tour the museum, a couple of trips to Kelowna, and finally ended the summer with a cruise to Alaska. The scenery was spectacular, life on the cruise ship full of experiences, and (lie food was unbelievable. Things at the O.A.P. hall are hack to normal. Carpet bowling Gold Key beaten by Marlins ALDERGROVE - Gold Key, playing at home to Marlins A team at Parkside on Sunday, were beaten soundly by probably the best womens club team in Canada at the moment. The score, 6-0 in Marlins A favour, flattered the Aldergrove team and would have been worse except for key veteran players, and goalie Michele Gademans. Scoreless until 25 minutes into the game Silvana Burtini scored the flrst of two world class goals, the other coming at the very end of the half to put the A's up by two at the break. Gold Key, missing three players due to commitments to the UCFV team who had a rare Sunday scheduled game, along with two injured players, had a very thin line-up with few subs. They were not able to keep up with the much fitter A's team, who had five subs. Between the 23 minute mark and 36 minute mark the A's scored four goals as the Gold Key team ran out of gas. Coach John Deacon said, "When you bring into the team eight new players, with six of them just up from last year's under 10 team, you'll get games like this. He added, "The young players coming off an All-Star team believe they are premier players, but the step up is a huge one. Not everyone can make that step, but this game should and will be part of the learning process. "It was obvious we are not fit enough. Very few can play 90 minutes, and some need to work hard to bring up their level of fitness. Having said all that, I would like to say there were some bright spots, and we did hold them scoreless for 25 minutes." The second Aldergrove United Premier team met Britannia in their game, and scored flrst on a well-taken goal at the 18 minute mark by Niki Vogel, but they also tired as the game progressed,, allowing the Britannia team to reply with three unanswered goals to go down 3-1. Next game for Gold Key is away to UBC A's at Todd Field. Game time is 10 am on Sunday, OcLl.

I hear a lot these days about memory loss (I can't imagine why), so here's a crazy story you might get a charge from. An elderly couple, he 87 years of age and she 85, were sitting in their living room one evening, and the lady said "Dear, would you mind getting me a dish of ice cream," and he said "Of course, I will." She remarked, "Should I write that down?" and he said "No, no, I'll remember". Then she added, "Would you put some chocolate syrup on it?" and he said "Sure I will'. Now she said," Shall I write that down?" but he insisted he could remember; then as a last request she said "Would you put a cherry on top? Perhaps I should write that down so you'll remember", but he said, " No need, I'll remember." So he takes off for the kitchen, and half an hour later he returns "Here's the ham sandwich you wanted," he said. She picks the top slice of bread from the sandwich and looks for a moment, then remarks, "You forgot the mustard".

From romance novels to cookbooks, poetry to public relations, the Writing and Publishing Studies program at the University College of the Fraser Valley has a comprehensive lineup of Creative and professional writing courses this fall. Songwriting begins on Saturday, October 14, and will provide three all-day sessions which will cover lyric and melody writing, making a demo tape, presenting your song to music publishers, and many other practical topics that will improve your chances of getting that "hit" song published. "This course will be equally valuable to those who want to write for personal enjoyment and those aspiring to be professional songwriters," says published songwriter Michael Dekkers. "I love music and I love songwriting, and its always fun to share something you love. I find the people who take these courses are very supportive of each other's efforts. In one class I had a sweet litde old lady who just wanted to write hymns and a teenage rocker with purple hair. It was an incredible class! We all respected each other and it worked." Other courses in the Writing and Publishing Studies program include Back to the Basics, which develops the crucial skill of clear writing for personal or workplace writing and The Poetry Project, which will explore contemporary poetry and help students develop their individual skills.

"I like painting large detailed works that sometimes take months to do. I use acrylics. I usually paint women, sometimes children, but I prefer not to do portraits -1 find them too confining. I like getting pretty imaginative and symbolic in my work," Smallenburg said. "I start with just a very basic idea that grows as I work. I find that prayer is of major importance in the creative process. I believe that the more I can be sensitive to God, the more I can push beyond my limitations."

SEPTEMBER ZT. 1995 13 vl Grit MLA wins first fight in Victoria a LANGLEY - Memorial Hospital and Surrey Memorial Hospital have announced plans to develop a partnership for a number of corporate services. With a goal to cut costs and eliminate duplication, the hospitals have proposed a partnership covering the areas of human resources, financial services/payroll and material services. This arrangement will ensure quality corporate services are provided to both hospitals through a more streamlined, cost-effective system. "By teaming up with Langley Memorial, we can save money and still provide the same level of service," said Surrey Memorial Hospital president Bemie Blais. "The money saved through this partnership arrangement will be redirected to other hospital priorities." There will be no immediate changes to corporate functions at either hospital. Representatives Residential care update LANGLEY - The local health unit is urging those concerned with residential care and its regulations to get involved with provincial health ministry community forums in this region. "The residential care regulations need to be updated to be brought in line with a rapidly changing society," said Langley's Boundary Health Unit spokesperson Karen Hall. 'The community forums will provide an opportunity for interested individuals and organizations to make suggestions for change to the residential care regulations. Please attend and make your voice heard." The forums will be held Oct. 16, 7-9 p.m. at Evergreen Baptist Care Society, 1550 Oxford Street, White Rock, and Nov. 2, 2-4 p.m.' at Newton Continuing Care Office, 120-7525 King George Highway, Surrey.

It is expected to take approximately one year to complete the planning and commence the integration of services. The process should be completed in approximately 18 months. While the goal is to reduce costs, staff reduction savings will be achieved primarily through attrition and early retirement. The Labour Adjustment Agency will be directly involved with awarding early retirement packages. Hospitals throughout Canada are facing increasing demands and decreasing resources." explained Langley Memorial Hospital president and chief executive officer, Pat Zanon. "We are committed to finding new ways to cut costs and eliminate duplication without adversely affecting patient care. I believe that this partnership arrangement is an example of this commitment." ABBOTSFORD - Novice Liberal MLA John van Dongen has only been in office for a few months, but already has achieved one of his first goals — an amendment to sewage disposal regulations which allows use of new technology in problem areas, provided that users pass frequent and vigorous tests of their systems at their own expense. "It's only the beginning," van Dongen told The Star. He foresees further amendments to encourage alternative technologies in waste disposal, and bring the health board requirements out of the "dark ages." He also gave credit to agriculture minister David Zirnhelt for working with him on bringing the measures into law: "I'm not into the partisan- type bashing, I'm into working on things that my constituents need. That's more my style, and Mr. Zirnhelt is a rancher with an understanding of farmers' needs, so I'm not ashamed to give him his due on this one." The new regulations will allow owners and operators of four hectares or more to be exempt from previous regulations, if they pursue the option of complying with a "code of good practice" and obtaining a permit to construct, repair and operate a domestic sewage disposal system, as well as provide the ministry of health with regular testing showing safe water standards are met. There is no financial impact on government as the $250 permit fee will continue to be charged applicants, and appeals will continue to be allowed to applicants and affected neighbours. Some fanners, particularly in the low- floodplains of the Fraser Valley, were prohibited from residing on the same land parcel providing their livelihood, or from constructing secondary dwellings for farm employees, because of restrictive regulations. This, said van Dongen, didn't recognize that times have changed: "There was a lot of resistance from the bureaucracy inside the health ministry, who arc used to doing things the way they've always done them. But this legislation has the safeguards built in for public safety and there is no added liability against the ministry." Van Dongen said previously health inspectors who tried to accommodate systems in difficult areas had systems backfire on them, especially when they allowed large amounts of fill to be brought in to build up a septic field. "Often the ground became so compacted that the effluent leaked right out the side," observed van Dongen. "Now you can try something different, and it has to pass four independent tests the first year and once a year after that, at your expense." Van Dongen said die minimum land size of ten acres "should be lower (and) could actually be removed.. Interpretation is also a concern." However, he believes it will have an immediate benefit to 25 individual cases-he's worked on throughout the Fraser Valley, including Bradner Road farmer John Warmerdam, who has been trying to put a second home on his land for his son, Dean, in a transition plan for Dean to take over the pioneer family fann and bring it into the next century.

Wilkinson commented that Muldoon used very strong words when referring to Inthavong as 'one of those violent persons who whines that no one decent likes him.... His own vile, unreformed personality and anger makes people dislike him.1 Elgin called Muldoon's comments flowery and his decision emotional, adding that the media attention focussing on this case is having an effect on the persons involved. When Shaw Dyck asked him to explain exactly what he meant by that comment, he withdrew the statement after saying that he doesn't suggest her personally, and that decisions can be affected by the knowledge that the results could be on the evening news. Shaw Dyck also agreed with Wilkinson's statement, that Inthavong is unlikely to show for removal if ordered, and unlikely to report for monthly reviews, although Elgin argued that Inthavong has not missed a single review or hearing. He also argued that under Section 7 of the Charter of Rights, 'indefinite detention' is an extraordinary remedy, and, without a' definite time frame in which Inthavong can be deported, he should be released from custody. Wilkinson countered that Inthavong's detention is not indefinite and major steps have been made in the removal process. Last week Inthavong was allowed a private telephone 'interview' with Laotian officials, details of which have not been made public. It was made public though, that a representative of the Canadian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand was able to talk to the Deputy Director of the Consular Section for the Laotian Minister of Foreign Affairs on September 19. "The Deputy Director indicated he would personally raise the issue of Inthavong's deportation with the Minister of the Interior, follow it up, and obtain a progress report," said Wilkinson. "Cooperation between the governments has improved over the last month, and there is little doubt that the proceedings will happen. "I am not denying that it will take time, how much I don't know," he continued. "We arc not stalling the case, but are working diligently and making progress. "Your task (as adjudicator) is to assess the other elements of the case in terms of reasonableness." Shaw Dyck agreed that because the Immigration Department was making progress, Inthavong's detention is not indefinite, especially since he will be eligible for another detention review hearing in 30 days. Inthavong was found guilty of -Aggravated assault in the 1990 shooting death of 18 year-old Abbotsford resident Kirby Martin. He was sentenced to five years in jail and released in 1993. After months of pressure from Fraser Valley West MP Randy White, Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi declared Inthavong a danger to the Canadian public, a decision upheld by adjudicator Ron Smith on April 6.

Hearings viewed favorably, proceed towards approval ' j LANGLEY - Four public hear- ings held by the township on Monday attracted big crowds to council chambers, but there no opposing voices on any of the applications. All four will proceed to consideration of third reading. Pacific Customs Brokers at Aldergrove border crossing has asked to be allowed to sell fishing licences, as well as provide currency exchange and tourism information. Pat Higginbotham said that because of reduced paperwork in their brokering business, they wished to expand services offered to allow them to keep their staff and profits at current levels. He noted that they once sold fishing licences 25 years ago, and they now wished to promote the local community of Alder- grove-Langley to the tourists headed north. Councillors expressed concern about a three-storey building with ground floor commercial and ten apartment suites, adjacent to the ambulance station on 48 Avenue. The large building on a quarter acre lot fits zoning and the "urban core plan" and the architect said he believed the ambulance siren would not penetrate the concrete block and twin-glaze window construction. Councillors also worried about playground space in a proposed 46-unit family strata townhouse on five acres at 208 Street and 87 Avenue in Walnut Grove. Developer Rob Barker said there was a central play area planned, as well as a link to an adjacent township park. A proposal to turn the former Linden Lodge into a missionary training centre was endorsed by several local churches and a Trinity Western University professor. World Evangelical Crusade spokesmen Robert Murdoch and Ken Gedde said there would be no change whatsoever in the facil- ity and its uses, other than it would be training up to 34 prospective missionaries on how to "adjust to life overseas" rather than providing shelter for 34 elderly persons. There would be no plans for a church on the site and Gedde added that the society has been interdenominational since 1913, has 1,500 missionaries in 40 countries: "We're not a fly-by-night operation." Dr. Verne Middle ton said WEC performs "an excellent job." Scout park considered for tax relief LANGLEY - Camp McLean Park is under consideration for property tax exemption by the township, pending a report from staff on the impact it might have on other similar public properties. Numerous community groups receive the exemption, as a form of grant to non-profit associations which benefit the public at large. The property, at 20315 - 16 Avenue, was deeded to Scouts Canada by the McLean family in 1967 for use as a youth development site. Its buildings and land are used primarily by the 1,129 local Scouts and Guides, Air Cadets, elementary schools as well as residents in general. While its use and maintenance is supported by numerous volunteers, it is operating at a loss, with deficit covered by Fraser region Scouts. Consumer tips By ROBERT MELYNCHUK I remember just seven years ago when I was taking a computer course in Langley, and we were talking about how much ram memory you need. The instructor was saying more than 1 meg of ram memory was all you would ever need for a personal compuK, er. Now, here we are in 1995 with people asking the same question all over again. The experts say about 16 megs of ram memory is necessary today to nin programs with a lot of graphics. At Doppler Computer you can buy 1 meg of ram for around $50 and have it installed for about $34. Future Shop in Langley will sell theirs for around $60, and they will install it for $20. If yon go to London Drugs they charge about $59 for each meg of ram, and they will install it for $30. Should you install the memory chips yourself? No, no, no. Believe me, you can break it, bend a pin, or have a static spark. destroy your motherboard. If you let them do it, they have to repair, or replace, any and all damaged parts, which may be the whole computer. If you do it you're going to be out everything, but- terfingers!

Kehler, a resident of Aldergrove for twenty-nine years and a director of five ministries within Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada, has completed the introductory 12 lessons of correspondence writing course entitled, Discover Your Possibilities In Writing, by Christian Writers Guild. The organization is based in Hume, California, and renowned authors Chuck Swindoll and Joni Eareckson highly endorse and recommend this school. Kehler has worked in many capacities over the last forty years. The first three years of married life she worked as a clerk in a pharmacy to put her husband Marvin through college. Next they bought Kehler senior's Symposium on Dead Sea scrolls LANGLEY - North America's first Dead Sea Scrolls Institute is hosting its first symposium Saturday, September 30, at Trinity Western University. Experts and non-experts alike will benefit from papers and discussion at the symposium which revolves around the theme, Eschatology, Messianism and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Numerous scholars will be on hand to address many questions and claims that have been voiced in the media, including what light do the Dead Sea Scrolls shed on Jesus and the early church, do the scrolls talk about Jesus and do Christian ideas come from the scrolls? Professor John J. Collins (Ph.D., Harvard University) of the University of Chicago, who served as editor of the Journal of Biblical Literature for six years, will deliver the keynote lecture on Messianism in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Faculty from Trinity Western University, Regent College, Vancouver School of Theology and the University of British Columbia are among the other participants who will deliver papers and/or be a part of panel discussion and open mike. Dr. Craig Evans, symposium organizer and director of TWU's MS program in Biblical studies, anticipates the panel discussion will provide an excellent forum for the audience to ask the experts questions regarding the mysterious Dead Sea Scrolls. The symposium will run from 9 am to 6 pm and lunch will be provided. Ticket costs are $20 per person ($25 a the door); $10 for students and seniors ($15 at the door).

She also managed their egg-wholesale business and did their bookkeeping, all of this while raising their four children. God had greater plans for them and He began changing their priorities while at a conference sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, International in 1969. Pleasing God and fitting into His plan became their goal. In 1974, Dr. William Bright asked Marvin Kehler to become the Canadian director for Campus Crusade for Christ. He and his wife accepted, thinking this was a temporary position. Her humble beginnings on a grain farm in southern Alberta and the global focus of Campus Cnisade for Christ, Canada, have given Katherinc a wealth of exciting experiences to draw upon. She has organized many large conferences and events in Canada. She has mobilized an ongoing prayer network of more than 42,000 people to pray for Canadian government leaders and issues of concern. She has initiated monthly forums to meet the spiritual needs of working women and puts on conferences to inspire and mobilize Christian women to reach out to (heir world. She has spoken to large groups in Nigeria, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Korea, United States and Canada, and has interacted with countless men and women in many countries of the world. Life has not always been easy for her. The death of a five- month-old grandson, and a brother who has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrigs) disease, have developed a deep compassion within her for those who are in pain. Throughout her busy life, Katherinc has felt compelled to write - especially in times of pain and joy. Her six grandchildren have been the focus of many of her short articles. Two of her high school teachers encouraged her writing abilities, but she never took the time to take a course to sharpen her God- given ability. Until now. At the age of 56, with a raft of life experiences to draw upon, she decided that- writing must become one of her priorities. She said, "It is like eating something you craved for. It satisfies!"

Power plant proposed for Huntingdon From front... The turbines for the plant would be G-class and bum natural gas to make electricity. The exhaust (steam) from the process. would be cycled through a recovery boiler and also made into electricity. Total production would be about 340 megawatts, or enough for 300,000 people. According to Palcvich, with all the latest environmental control mechanisms (here would be no nitrous oxides emitted from the plant, and no negative impact on the local aquifer. The building would be enclosed in a noise proof structure, so little disturbance would be caused lo the ncighbouring communities. "AliS has several plants throughout North America and we have not had any major problems," he said. The construction of the plant would generate $250 million worth of construction costs and create 28 full time jobs. The jobs would be originally staffed by experienced personnel, who would train local staff and then move back to their existing jobs or on to another new plant Officials for the company have been working widi city staff to assess the impact the plant would have on the area, and the provincial government on issues such as Aboriginal land claims. AES has already been through a similar situation with their plant in Los Angeles. Details of the project are not fully developed, because the company docs not have the contract widi B.C. Hydro. Councillor Ken Funk, in his support for the plant, thanked Palcvich and AES for thinking of the City of Abbotsford, but questioned why B.C. Hydro would want to go outside the company for electricity. Palcvich answered that it is part of restructuring of the electrical industry in North America. 1 le also said that the reason for their presentation to council is to stress that they want council to be involved in the decision making process and be aware of the progress being made. "We are not trying to hide anything and are trying to be as open as possible," he said. AES, if granted the contract, plans to begin construction in 1997 and start operating in 1998 for at least 30 years. Langley on top — and bottom LANGLEY - Workplace safety appears to be remarkably good in the township public works department, ahead of other GVRD members, while Uie city's record is at the very bottom of the 17 members of the GVRD. Coun. Steve Burton brought a comparison chart of the GVRD member wage loss claims, as compiled by the Workers' Compensation Board, to council Monday along with his compliments to municipal crews. Ruskies want relations Airport boosters win approval By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Councillors voted to receive information from the city of Cherepovets, Russia, regarding the possibility of setting up a 'sister' relation between the cities, but not to do anything about it All councillors said they have no trouble with the idea, if it's just a friendly gesture, but if taxpayers' money is involved, they are opposed. Councillor Brad Boyse suggested that staff look into the cost of such a venture, but other councillors were against the idea, because it would cost money to find out how much it would cost. He said this would be a major business opportunity for Abbotsford, and many other cities around the world are engaging in such practices. Councillor Ken Funk suggested Boyse has a special interest in the matter and said that anyone, who wants to conduct business with Russia or any other country, can do so without having a 'sister city' affiliation and without spending taxpayers' money. Councillor Mark Warawa mentioned that Abbotsford already has this type of relation with cities in Ethiopia and Japan, and asked how many 'sister cities' are needed and at what cost. Only he and Boyse were in favour of having staff look into the situation. LANGLEY - The municipal airport here has long been a success story, regularly marking a "modest profit" for the township while Ottawa is trying to shed its responsibility for covering the deficits at countless small airports across the country.

Friday's event, a sort of prelude to B.C. Rivers Day, was the dedication of the creek's "off- Eleanor Parkinson stream enhancement facility" at 32A and 268 Street, and it captured the attention of officials from all levels of government, as well as community organizations in neighbouring Washington. The creek's new diversion channel will be completed this fall with tree planting along the shores. Its primary function will be to provide a year-round habitat for the endangered Salish sucker and Nooksack dace species, as well as the Coho salmon that are beginning to come back to Bertrand Creek, a tributary of die Nooksack River in the U.S. It was also designed by township environment officer, Pete Scales, to provide some additional flood protection for the town during peak rainfalls. The winning efforts, which have won die Elaine Birk Award, were made by volunteer members of the Bertrand Creek Enhancement and Langley Environmental Partners societies. "It's happening," enthused Fraser Basin Management Board chair Ian Waddcll. Referring to government cutbacks, he said, 'The challenge is to get communities involved with stewardship... It's really something to see it clearly, to see actii- al action. We're learning, creek by creek." Agriculture and fisheries minister David Zirnhelt agreed, noting "public demands for a return of original pristine nature" and while that may be long gone in many cases, "nature has a restorative capacity, provided we deal widi the problems such as smog." Zirnhelt also praised "the incredible work to preserve endangered species... and save meaningful streams." MLA Lynn Stephens, who personally waded in to do some of the "gnint" work herself last year, said the experience "brought home the value of education, so that more would value" the creek and environment in general. While some of the work was partially funded by government agencies, Scholtens presented a certificate of appreciation to a representative of Trans-Mountain Pipelines, for the donated use of equipment and crew to the project. Similar honours were bestowed upon Russ Leggatt and the environmental protection fund of Environment Canada for their contribution. Leggatt said their limited funds were aimed at "grassroots work to protect and rehabilitate die environment. This is a model project a terrific job." Scholtens saved the biggest accolades for the local woman who spearheaded the entire project, Eleanor Parkinson. She has long been involved in many aspects of this community, and is currently a consultant and Rotari- an. Parkinson said that when the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee established in 1990, their search for a "focus, a strategy for Aldergrove began with workshops to determine what the people wanted" and diat was restoration of die creek, which in turn would make the town more attractive — like a picturesque village commonly found in Europe. "There was nothing we could do without the involvement of citizens," and out of this was bom the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society. The rest, is not history however, as the residents must not allow the creek to return to its degraded state — it's a commitment to the future, too. Tom Murdoch, of die Everett- based Adopt-A-Stream non-profit society, expressed his envy of die Robert Murdoch with township mayor John Scholtens Leaacu Carpets Ltd. sa • Carpets • Vinyl • Hardwood • Tiles • THE STORE THAT DOES IT ALL AT A PRICE YOU CAN AFFORD1 For Free In-Home Estimates Call: 857-7500 3084 - 275 Street, Aldergrove Showroom Hours Mon.-Fri. 11-5, Sat. by appointment <j«f^jj:> Serving the Lower Mainland L#2t§; work here, as well as his commitment to work to "enhance the entire watershed" on the U.S. side. His organization has been working with the groups here, attending joint workshops, and lobbying state officials to support their rehabilitation plans. "The overall plan is going to work," he told the crowd. In a related item, Zirnhelt also announced a $98,000 Partners in Progress grant to help the Fort Langley Farmers' Association with watershed rehabilitation that's needed before the upgrading lan Waddell of the Salmon River pump station. The grant will help the township and Salmon River Watersheds Management Partnership in the $309,000 project — stream surveys, rehabilitation and channel work to improve drainage of surrounding farmland. Preliminary engineering design work has already been done with a previous provincial grant of $88,000, and total cost of a new pump station and floodboxes is estimated at $2- million. Zirnhelt observed that the project will benefit both farmers and the environment in and along the river. "The Salmon River, as a tributary of the Fraser River, plays a significant role in Coho production." Permit issued ALDERGROVE - Township council issued a development permit to Otter Co-op to rebuild its service station at 248 Street and Fraser Highway. The project includes consolidation of lots into one title and new landscaping, boulevard treatment and signage, and mayor John Scholtens noted that one of the main objectives was to meet new Environment Canada regulations in the upgrade of the aging facility. There were no public complaints against the project MURRAYVILLE - Township councillor Steve Ferguson reluc- tandy lent his support to a grant application to BC Hydro for underground wiring in the "civic core" area of 221 and 222 Street and 48 Avenue. Ferguson argued that since there are limited funds -- BC Hydro allots $1-million for the entire province per year — first priority should be given to Aldergrove's town core, followed by Fort Langley's, and then the new proposed development area sur rounding the township, school district and RCMP buildings. "Why not beautify these older areas first?" asked Ferguson. In response to the question, administrator Jim Godfrey said re-routing of overhead wires underground was best performed at the same time as new roadwork was being done, which is planned for Murrayville. Ferguson withdrew his motion, but did not appear pleased. The original application request passed unanimously.

Spokesman Cliff Cotton had berated councillors at their last meeting for what he called their intransigence in preparing his project for public hearing. Councillors appear to feel that their "checks and balances" were addressing some of the concerns of neighbouring rural taxpayers before the application went to public hearing. "I think we're going to hear a great deal from residents at the public hearing**1, said coun. Muriel Arnason wryly.

'Buy local' is okay, but directional signs are not m ■y»jr^fM^-MjrMjirM* s s si s m r jTfjF^ft By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council has voted not to allow the Fraser Valley Direct Marketing Association to erect directional signs leading drivers off main highways to local farms. At the July 10 meeting, the motion to allow the signs was approved in principle following a delegation from the group, pending furtheFinvestigation by staff. At that time Councillors Ken Funk, Simon Gibson, Mark Warawa and Chuck Wiebe voted against the idea. Ed Regts, Director of Engineering, presented a report at last Monday's meeting which indicated that there are 40 Abbotsford farm owners interested in the idea, each needing four signs at a cost of $100 per unit, and the total of $16,000 is too rich for the city. He also outlined other concerns, such as keeping road signs to a minimum, 'so diat the critical signs, which must be enforced, do not become ignored through a general disregard brought about by too many signs'. Another concern was, that other residents, including fanners not involved with the organization, home and retail businesses, and churches would want similar treatment. "It would be inappropriate for the city to undertake an expense' which would provide little for the community and benefit only a select group," he said. Most councillors agreed with the recommendation against the signs, but Councillor Brad Boyse said Regts' information was incorrect. He said the report has nothing to do with the request from the Fraser Valley Farm Direct Marketing Association, which only wanted to know (he cost of the signs, and to get council's approval to put them up. r/jH^sja i^itfee^^^^pJ'I^^E *y 30 signs needed, and the group would be willing to pay for them. Me added that Chilliwack council not only approved the Signs but paid for them as well. Boyse moved to defer the motion and get a more accurate report from staff before making a final decision. The motion was defeated with only Boyse, Warawa and Patricia Ross in favour. Councillor George Peary said it is more efficient to bring the produce to die city rather that the city to the produce, creating unnecessary traffic on rural roads. Gibson agreed with Regt's statement that if this group would be allowed to erect signs, then everyone else would want them too and, in equality, council would have to grant their requests. Funk questioned the intent of the July 10 delegation. "If they want to know the costs, they can phone the Engineering department and find out," he said. 'They don't need to come to council with a request like that, and I support my original position not to give one group favourable treatment over another." Boyse was not deterred by the opposition and went on to say that this is part of a province wide 'Buy local'program. "I personally enjoy buying local products and I think everyone else should be encouraged to do so as well," he said. Councillor Wendy Lee said that there are oilier options. "Don't confuse the issue," she said. "We all support 'Buy local,' but don't support die signs. We can put maps directing people to farms in our lobby, at the Chamber of Commerce, and many other places. Signs are not necessary." Mayor George Ferguson agreed with Lee, and the motion ! 1 24 THE AtOERQBOVE STAR. SEPTEMBER 27.1995 MUSHROOM COMPOSTING FEARED Harder to move with times Farm plans knocked by neighbours LANGLEY - Township councillors appeared to be blindsided by a huge delegation of opponents to a pair of large mushroom barns currently being built on 232 Street near 34A Avenue. Many were forced to listen to spokesman Murray Craig from outside the building Monday evening, as he specifically targeted alleged "phase one composting" plans for the operation, which he claimed would be comparable to the Money's Mushrooms composting plant in Surrey that has caused serious air quality problems for Langley city and Brookswood over the . past 20 years. Councillors were mortified with this prospect, as they have long been involved in the batde to have the Money's composting plant closed or modified to stop the stench. A recent complaint against the T&T bams being built on 232 Street was also dismissed by councillors, who at that time believed that there were no plans for a major composting operation there. Mayor John Scholtens, a hobby sheep fanner, told The Star that while there is no such thing as a farm without some sort of compost or manure heap, there was an important difference when it comes to the type or size of compos ting. Craig told council that die two barns, at 3675 and 3342 - 232 Street, would both have the phase one composting and could affect 50 neighbours' air and water quality. He said ministry of environment assurances were not satisfactory regarding the 19 toxins that may be released, and that both die B.C. Assessment Authority and B.C. Supreme Court-have ruled that large-scale composting' is not an agricultural use. That decision is supported by agriculture minister David Zirnhelt and the GVRD>i added Craig, but two recent GVRD citations against Money's are in dispute, as allegations "have not been conclusively proven." Craig said their Coalition of Concerned Citizens was ready to Hot motorbikes,^ thieves nabbed ABBOTSFORD - On September 25, at approximately 10:25 am, a Street Crime Unit member with the Abbotsford Police spotted two motorcycles at the Petro Canada Service Station at 2054 Whatcom Road. The two motorcycles had been stolen in Surrey on the weekend. Both male riders were arrested and charged with the theft and possession of the motorcycles.
