THE "VULNERABLE" ARE PRIME TARGETS Stretching and flexing: A small but vigilant crowd participated in the Aldergrove Terry Fox Run on Sunday. -Tim Attwood photo. Election fever heats up ALDERGROVE - With speculation about a snap fall election (call running rampant, Richard Coleman has chosen to announce Pool to reopen LANGLEY - W.C. Blair Recreation Centre's pool will open again this Friday at 6 a.m., after restoration work to structural walls was successfully completed during the annual shutdown. The major project was budgeted for by the township this year, after engineers determined that rust staining in pool walls could be repaired and further deterioration stopped. Township spokesman Barry Becker told The Star that the staining was spotted last year during operational time and was "caught early... the trades did a superhuman job in getting it done in time for our scheduled re-ojien- ing." Becker said that the nine year old pool was the second wave pool built in Canada and mistakes were made but still were "done with the best knowledge at the time." The township investigated the possibility of suing the contractor but decided their case was not worth pursuing and it "was better toiaump on (the problem) right away" before damage was irreversible. Sealants originally used were not of appropriate quality or type, and water had gotten inlo the rebar a foot down. This has now been corrected and properly scaled. that he will seek the B.C. Liberal nomination for Fort Langley- Aldergrove. The local party executive has not yet set its nomination meeting date, but township councillor Mel Kositsky has also announced his intention to seek the nomination. Coleman, a well-known community activist and local businessman, has made a good impression here since moving his family to Aldergrove in 1984. His background includes eight years service with the RCMP and 15 years as an independent businessman. He's been married for the past 21 years to Michele and has her support as well as that of tiieir children, Adam and Jacqueline. One of Coleman's major accomplishments here was also his first — shortly after settling in here he was struck by the lack of a community centre in the town. Over the next four years he put in thousands of his own volunteer hours and coordinated a dedicated core of Kinsmen, Kinettes and other community groups to build the Aldergrove Kinsmen Coinmu- nity Centre. This valuable resource no longer has a single cent in outstanding debt and is owned by the Community through the township of Langley parks and recreation department. Coleman was also instrumental in development of Kinsmen Park Place, a 50-unit townhouse development, served as president of the Chamber of Commerce, a director of Fraser Valley Pregnancy Centre and member of a number of other community organizations. . He received the Eric Flowerdew Award as Langley's outstanding volunteer in 1988, a Please see page 3 Seniors hit by scams ABBOTSFORD - A senior citizen, who performs a lot of peer counselling services in the community, wants Star readers to know that there are shysters out there who have no shame about bilking the elderly out of their cash. Doreen Derkach said she was once taken in by a smooth-talking phone solicitor for a couple of hundred dollars, but her dogged determination resulted in her receiving restitution from the company. However, getting your money back from a scam contest promotion is almost unheard of: most of these companies disappear as soon as the heat's turned on. "It was a vacation deal that seemed too good to be true, which it was. I thought it would be a great gift for my daughter, but my investigation showed, that often people get stuck somewhere on the vacations, there's no reservations, and they have to pay out big money to get out of wherever they get stuck," said Derkach. "I called them back and pestered and threatened them, and managed to get it all back except for $15." This occurred a few years back, but Derkach said she was "hit on" again this past week by a caller from Colonial Corporation, "telling me I had won one of three prizes, money, vehicles, vacations, but that I was obligated to buy makeup or something in the promotional deal. I told him that the law says winners of prizes don't have to buy anything, and he could just send me the/prize, because IsWiascL'y^Bg to give him my charge account number. He argued with me, so I told him my son-in-law is an RCMP sergeant, and then he said 'would I mind if he gave the prize to the next ninnenip?1 or some nonsense like that." Derkach said she was so "annoyed" that she complained to the RCMP but was told that "their hands are tied" on many of these propositions, because the opera tors know enough of the law to stay just on the borderline. Prosecution is very difficult, especially if the offenders disappear and documents are gone with them. However, Derkach was angry enough to call the Better Business Bureau in Montreal, where Colonial Corp. was supposedly based, and was told that contrary to Colonial's claims, they are not a Please sec page 3 The Aldergrove STAR IUegitimus non carborundum VOL.37 N0.38 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,1995 40 CENTS Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 Reformers ready for election ABBOTSFORD - The Matsqui constituency of the BC Reform party has set their nomination meeting for Thursday, Oct. 26 and is also readying for a possible election by opening a campaign office.

Wakelin said the woman, who was taken to hospital for examination, was fatigued by a long day of gathering contributions for a local charity and was not paying attention to the road. She received a ticket for failure to stop at the stop sign, but appeared more concerned about the condition of the other motorist ~ who was not injured - than her own troubles.

Trustees look at parent involvement By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - The School Board got a special screening of the new video Parents - Our Partners: A Look at Parent Involve- ment in the Langley School District at last Monday's meeting, after which .^futeryone pyesfen'jl applauded loudly, and called it a great success. The 12 minute film comes with a guide containing information for two types of workshops, the script of the video, and references for further information. It will be distributed to district schools this I week, and then hopefully to all districts in B.C. The video outlines the six types of parent involvement: Parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, representing other parents, and collaborating and exchanging with community agenci e s. There is a narrated explanation of each type, along with explanatory graphics. Also included are statements from people involved in the district such as the president of the Principals and Vice- principals Association, the school board chair, and .union representatives. The project was done by: Fiona Morrison, writer; Susan Skerry, District Communications Consultant; Linda Kaye, President of Langley District Parent Advisory Council; and Brian Dodd, Supervisor for Rogers Community 4. However, Board Chair Linda Moir said that the video could not be done without an incredible amount of parental support. "We have to thank all the parents for their time and effort in Langley schools," she said.

Like the term-limits movement, it has been scoring notable successes at the state level and is how emerging as a national issue. Earlier this summer, New Hampshire became the 22nd state to make English its exclusive language for public documents and proceedings. While that action may have special significance for candidates eying its first-in-the- nation presidential primary, it is just one step in what advocates see as an accelerating campaign. When then-Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas signed that state's version of the law in 1987, only eight other states had such statutes. Legislation sponsored by representatives Toby Roth (R-Wis.) and Peter King (R-NY) specifically eliminates both bilingual ballots and bilingual education.

Local students excel at exams ALDERGROVE - Community Secondary School students have exceeded expectations of both the school district and education ministry for improvement of science and mathematics results on grade 12 provincial examinations. "It is encouraging for the school to achieve this level of excellence when it is starting its first year of an external accreditation process," said a Sept. 13 news release from the school. Marks in four grade 12 disciplines were well ahead of those recorded elsewhere in the school district as well province-wide results from public and private schools. Biology was the leader at 77.09 (district 66.20, provincial 65.79), Chemistry followed at 73.66 (district 67.30, provincial, 68.94), Physics next at 72.88 (dis-' trict 67.73, provincial 70.81) and Math marked 67.18 (district 60!26, provincial 65.88). Police looking for sexual assailant SURREY - Police are investigating a sexual assault that occurred in a secluded area of Holland Park at 6:30 p.m, Tuesday, September 12. A 30 year-old woman was walking alone when she encountered a man who engaged her in conversation. He then forced himself upon her, sexually assaulted her, and fled the area after hearing voices of approaching people. In shock, the woman went home and called 911 for assistance. She was taken by ambu- \ lance to Surrey Memojrj'al Hospital for examination. The suspect is described as 30 years old, white, with short, curly, blond hair. He has a muscular build, several days of beard growth, and red and green tattoos on both arms. He was wearing a crested white T-shirt, blue jeans and heavy black boots. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Constable Guilbault of the Surrey RCMP at 599-0502 or Crime- Stoppers at 669-TIPS(8477). THE ALDERGROVE STAR. SEPTEMBER 20,1995 Chains from the past By FRANK OGDEN VANCOUVER - Are you currently working in a position with a job description? If so, don't feel safe. First, you are likely performing some activities that never show up on such a rigid format. Secondly, if your company still has that locked-in-tlie-past mentality, the company's future might not be so bright itself. Rigid, top-down hierarchies, too inflexible to change, cannot survive for long. If they stay the way they are, 60 percent of them will not survive the end of the decade. Holding on to such jobs may make you even more redundant tomorrow. If you have had the same job for the past five, 10 or 20 years, some companies will not hire you, because you may be too locked into the old mentality. I advise corporations to hire on attitude alone. Forget education and experience. By definition they are from the past and archaic. The best chances today go to yesterday's outcast: the job jumper. Why? The rolling stone has more experience in diversified environments and is more adaptable to change. Fitting into a job description is, in some ways, like families that say: "We don't have television. We want our children to grow up without such distractions." Or, "We went back to basics. No sense in understanding all that computer stuff, won't apply to us, my husband is a fisher (or logger, miner or postal worker)." This might have worked before, but no longer. Parents may try to control what happens at home, but once kids step outside, they are in an electronic image world. It is affecting all of us even if we don't watch television. Those who don't watch become strangers in their own land. They don't understand the jargon of our time and are perceived as techno-peasants. That is not a good image. The last time this occurred was around the turn of the century. People who refused to learn to read or write stayed illiterate while the rest of civilization raced ahead. If you couldn't read, you couldn't understand newspaper ads, follow street signs, comprehend factory names on buildings or fill out employment forms. You were "illiterate", but still good for raking leaves. Computer literacy is not that much different. You.have to learn the bits and bytes, become literate with the new language. But today no school will be able to teach you. Technology is moving so fast, that by the time a teacher is trained, whatever she or he has learned is obsolete. New information from the cutting edge is of greatest value. How do you learn the new way? Oscar Wilde said "Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught." I say, 'The best way to learn is to get lost." Both sayings suggest true knowledge can only be learned. It can't be taught. What is taught is usually indoctrination. We can only develop the skills for this new way of life by doing.

SEPTEMBER 20. i 995 Bitter pill for drug users By NIGEL HANNAFORD If you are a frequent user of prescription drugs, September 1 was likely not the happiest day of your life. This was the day when every pharmacist in the province had to be set up on the provincial government's new Pharmanct pro- grain - and this particular piece of progress may cost you lots of money. Pharmanct has been touted as a new and fragrant service for the consumer, a central registry of all prescription users such that no matter which dispensary in the province you go to, your full particulars are available to the pharmacist. Thus he knows what you've been having, your allergies, any other helpful considerations. A much reduced danger of sending you off with the wrong thing, don't you see? Now Pharmanct will do all that. However, in an announcement, which is either cynically devious beyond imagination or politically dumb, I'm not sure which, the government has declared that it will now introduce, just one month later on October 1, "reference-based pricing" on selected categories of drug. Initially these arc to be nitrates, used to treat angina, and H2- hlockcrs, needed to treat some upper-gastro-intestinal illnesses and non-ulcer dyspepsia. What reference-based pricing means is this. Say you have some condition which may be treated more than one way. One drug costs $4 a hundred. You take three a day. An alternative treatment, a patch, costs $50 for 30 and you will use one a day. The ministry of health is saying that they will pay for the pills, but if you want die patch, you will pay the difference. At first blush, that may seem fair enough. After all, we're all taxpayers and if both treatments do the same thing, why would; you expect the government to pay more than it needs to? The answer is, that the no- name brand may induce some undesirable side effects, such as nausea or a savage headache. In some cases damage to the liver my be caused by prolonged use. The more expensive treatment avoids all of this but little, if any, account is being paid to that. The only let-out is that your doctor may prescribe the more expensive treatment and render an explanation. You then will pay the difference, and; at some time in the future your additional claim will be adjudicated by the government department in question. Now,, it's not that the government doesn't have some right on its side. Some prescription drugs are more costly than they need to be, compared to the same tiling in other countries. Part of the blame for this may be laid at Ottawa's door. In their wisdom, they have limited the the time that drug companies shall only enjoy patent privileges in Canada. Not surprisingly, the manufacturers try to make it while they call. Also, it is conceivable that some physicians, confronted with an awkward client who demands some supposed wonder drag he's read about, wheii^aspirin would do, will give in and write a prescription just lo ge( the fellow out of the office. What's it to him, anyway? So yes, tiiere is probably some slack in die system. But how like the NDP to opt for a heavy-handed solution. Regulate. Proscribe. Set up a board to determine. Handle it by fiat. And introduce a provincial registry with a central department and hire more bureaucrats. They must be getting advice from some pensioncd-off comrade from Tobolsk. Think about it. All they had to do was tell folks that they would pay a percentage of the cost of the drag, say 20 percent for illustrative purposes. Now, you go to the doctor and he tells you, that you can have the $4 option or the $50 one. It's your choice whether you want the cash or die headache. All of a sudden, the government has got human nature on its side instead of against it. Ilie customer doesn't just want the best anymore, he wants the cheapest. The pharmacist gets the same dispensing fee either way, so it's not an issue to him, and the big drug companies now have some incentive to be reasonable. It would be an extra cost for the big prescription user: if the drugs you were using added up to $1,000 a year, you'd be looking at $200. On the other hand, if the ministry wants to give you drugs worth half the price and you really need the better ones, you're going to be laying out an extra $500 until you can convince them. Imagine having a fight going on simultaneously with WCB and the Ministry of Health: it would be more than flesh and blood could bear. You may well wish to write to your MLA. So is the NDP being incredibly smart or incredibly dumb? That depends on what is next. The argument for dumb is that it's a sure-fire election loser. Pharmanet might have flown, but reference-based pricing is the thin edge of a very thick wedge, and the poor and the elderly will vote against it. (The rest of us have to pay the first $600 of drug costs; thereafter the government pays 70 percent) On the other hand, if this is one more step in an agenda to totally outlaw any kind of health care for British Columbians other than which the government is prepared to provide - all in the name of fairness and equity, you understand -. well, it makes eminent sense. First you create two tiers, then you ban the second tier. For all our sakes, it's time they told us what they're really trying to do. At the moment, the greatest lie in provincial politics is, 'Hi! I'm from Victoria and I'm here to help you.' When will they tell the truth? A 95-year-old woman is murdered in her Kelowna home; police are seeking two teenage suspects. What will be the response of the government? Probably to release another Statistics Canada study "proving" that violent crime is on die decline in Canada.. They-inust think we're idiots. AND VJITU TUE THOUGHT OF PACING 1415 LEGAL FEES... LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Is there a vendetta? Editor, The Star, Sir, Your recent article in The Aldergrove Star dated Wednesday, August 30, 1995 about the efforts of a few neighbours wanting to close Canadian Pallets Inc., at 29020 Fraser Highway in Abbotsford, has alarmed me in that it appears the person(s) responsible for initiating this procedure has some sort of vendetta against people making an honest living and/or has a problem with competition and/or maybe are prejudicial against different nationalities working in their neighbourhood. Would this person or persons be willing to provide food, shelter and the other necessities of life to all the employees, and their families, wHo would lose their jobs if this company was closed? Would the government be willing to have 50-60 more people, and their families, collecting Social Service benefits? The consequences for Langley left out LANGLEY - Township councillor Mel Kositsky has launched a petition campaign for 200 Street improvements. Kositsky said the recent transportation improvement announcement by the province has nothing for Langley, especially the horrendous bottleneck experienced by commuters at the 200 Street - Highway 1 interchange. This one relatively small project should have been done years ago and - promises date back to MLA Carol Gran's time," said Kositsky. The high occupancy vehicle lanes from Grandview to Port Mann Bridge and rapid buses in Surrey will help, but there's nothing in the ten year plan for Langley." Petitions will be in area shops ; and Kositsky is hoping for 20,000 names to sway the powers that be in Victoria. the company and its employees far outweigh the trivial complaints of the person(s) making these accusations. As for the women who say they were phoned and threatened by the owner of Canadian Pallets - perhaps you dialled the wrong number, as this owner does not need to threaten anybody to have a good day. A note to Tom Higgins, Manager of Inspection Services, Joe and Dave Sangha are very easy going people, they do not threaten others and would welcome you, and anyone else wanting, to come and tour the plant. A phone call is all that is necessary to ensure that one of them is available to answer any of your questions or to give you a personal tour. I strongly urge Council and/or government to take a look at the person(s) making these accusations and to realize the benefit to -the community and to the province this company has brought forth, providing other businesses and countries with products grown and manufactured in B.C. If the question is of zou- 'ing, why do council(s) and government use ALR for golf courses, shopping malls, industrial and -so on? Perhaps those businesses and/or companies have the financial, and/or political, backing to ensure r'ezoning to meet their needs, in which case, this areas idea of free enterprise and democracy has died. RHONDA BALLANCE Aldergrove Negotiate? Not on your life Editor, The Star, Sir, What in hell has gone wrong with our law and order system? What kind of people have we elected to our government, when they allow a bunch of renegades with their faces covered, to dictate our laws? We elect government to see that laws are equally enforced to all citizens. These people are blocking public roads, occupying public parks, moving onto private land, denying all laws, arming themselves, shooting at people trying to enforce law and order. If there is a reason why these people should be given special privileges, the politicians owe it to the rest of us to see we are informed. They are .also empowered to change the law. They have not hesitated to take away many privileges, which we used to enjoy. Supplying them with food, tobacco; why not alcohol too? They must be suffering. We must keep them happy while they shoot at the police. While lawabiding citizens must try to get to work, so they can pay their taxes, those privileged people can do their thing living on the hard-earned money from the workers. And to move them off, we are asked to negotiate. Negotiate what? We have fed, housed, clothed, educated (if they wanted it) for the last 125 years and it is about time they are told they have the privilege of rolling up their socks and join the rest of us. TED HANSEN, Aldergrove. Shades of Brian Editor, The Star, Sir, Re: "Taxpayers Won't Like It", Star, 13. Sep. 95, by Kurt Langmann. Kurt is 100% correct in his assessment of the Phase One Plan for the cultural centre released last week. The real object of the plan is to build municipal facilities which will eventually turn into a Municipal Hall costing millions. It is certainly not a theatre and music school as was the original starting point. It appears some very good civic-minded volunteers have been manipulated and conned into what some bureaucrats want with just enough culture added to "smoke" it through. I congratulate Councillor Mel Kositsky , and Commissioners Horst Jasmann and Mark Bakken for seeing through this obvious attempt to deceive the Township taxpayers. If the final, cost for all phases is $36-million and the theatre will cost less than $10-million, then something else is going to cost about $18-million. I am pro cultural centre but believe we are best served by an honest, up-front Township administration. Someone at the Hall must have taken lessons from Brian Mulroney.

I strongly urge you to give top priority to the realization of this much needed community facility. ELLA LITTLE, Langley THE ALDERGROVE STAR, SEPTEMBER 20,1995 Development has bright sides Editor, The Star, Sir, Further to the letter sent in by Mr. Nels Osterby in July, I would like to clarify the facts as follows: 1. South Brookswood and Fer- nridge has an Official Community Plan already started, with phases one and two just finishing construction of new houses. 2. Willowbrook also has an Official Community Plan under way with new construction. Willoughby does not. An Official Community Plan takes years to put together (Brookswood/Fern- ridge took six years), so it would be prudent to start soon. 3. The South Brookswood and Fernridge area has over 200 acres, owned by us taxpayers, through the Township of Langley, in reserve for future school and park sites. The value of these lands, at a modest $250,000 an acre, would be about $70-million. 4. The previous Langley Township Councils and planning departments did not reserve many lands in the Willowbrook and Willoughby areas, and the costs, at today's land values, would be at least $70-million to have enough put aside for all future growth. 5. To clarify Mr. Osterby's confusion, this does not mean it would cost "zero dollars" to develop Brookswood and Fernridge, but only that there is a tremendous advantage to.the taxpayers of Langley Township to continue with the phased growth already in place. Obviously there would be the costs of building schools and supplying services, like increased fire and police, but we have most of these in place and only need to expand the services. Willowbrook also has some of these services, and in my opinion should continue to grow, along with the southern end of town. 6. Further to these facts are the two development applications by Vicwood Hills and Norond Construction, who each have offered to install and pay for, at no cost to the taxpayers, a full sanitary sewer mainline, water and storm sewers, right up 200 Street to 0 Avenue. Add to this the "gift" Vicwood Hills are offering of public horse riding trails around the perimeter of their golf course, and a lovely 13-acre park donated to the Township of Langley, and you would have to ask why our Council and Planning Department aren't jumping at this wonderful opportunity to improve our community. Why are we insulting the Vicwood Hills people by stalling, studying, commissioning, and repeatedly delaying their develop-, ment application? Why the emphasis on starting up a whole new community of Willoughby, at obscene costs to taxpayers, when we have offers like this sitting on the table? I urge anyone reading this to call our Langley Township Administration and Planning Departments and ask for an explanation. (534-3211) 7. Environmental studies have shown that Willowbrook and Willoughby sit on a clay bed, with very few productive streams, therefore all the storm sewer runoff would not be absorbed back into the ground, but directed to the only two rivers heading for the ocean: the Fraser River and the Nicomekl. The Nicomekl river runs through Langley City and South Surrey - have our planners consulted with these municipalities and received permission to pollute their river with our dirty road run-off? How about the Fraser? Does (lie fisheries department agree that storm sewer run-off, from a huge Willoughby expansion would do no harm to the spawning salmon? Sounds like our salmon need cleaner waters, not water further polluted with oil, rubber, gas and grime. Brookswood and Fernridge sit on a deep gravel bed. What does this mean? A percolated storm sewer system would direct the run-off not into our streams, but into the ground where it can be naturally filtered. This is die same concept as a septic field, which Brookswood residents are very familiar with, and has proven to work quite effectively. 8. Highways. Commuters travelling on the #1 Highway during rush hour know we have a problem on our hands. Abbotsford is growing at a tremendous rate, with hundreds of commuters heading into Vancouver each morning, forced to use the #1 as their only route into town. The north end of Surrey is also growing and their commuters use the #1 to access Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver. However, South Surrey, Cloverdale and South Langley residents use the 99 Hwy. via #10, 16 or 32 Avenues to access Richmond, New West, Vancouver and the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. The Provincial Highways department, in conjunction with Surrey Municipality, has started the new interchange at 32 Avenue which will allow commuters to merge right onto the 99 Highway. This new onramp (and exit ramp on both The Aldergrove area is in urgent need of Big Brothers. A Big Brother spends a few hours each week offering friendship to a boy from a lone-parent family.

At this time, we have checked with the Provincial Highways department, and they confirm they have no plans to upgrade the 200 Street, #1 Highway interchange. In conclusion, I wish to state that Langley Township has always had more than one new area of growth, and it would be nice to see this continue. We in Brookswood and Fernridge have always supported growth in the northern end of town, as well as the south and east (Aldergrove). A reduced overall growth rate of 3% spread over two or three areas would mean slowly growing, well-planned sub-communities could expand and shape themselves to suit the needs of their residents, and continue to grow for twenty to thirty more years. This is the way a Township should evolve, and I hope our Councillors have what it takes to see this happen for all of us. CATHY KLOMPAS, Langley Abbotsford residents can access rec programs ALDERGROVE - Many residents in the 'west' area of Abbotsford often register for programs at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, Aldergrove Community Arena or Aldergrove Outdoor Pool. There may be some confusion in that the Fall Langley Leisure Guide stated that all non- Township of Langley residents are subject to paying double the fee for any programs. Recreation spokespersons said that because Abbotsford provides similar recreation programs and facilities that are available to Langley residents, Abbotsford residents do not have to pay the "2x. fee" in Langley. Abbotsford residents wishing to register for skating lessons at the Arena or programs at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre can contact the Community Centre at 856-2899. NEW IN TOWN?

Rapid Lime! 20 kg Bag 6 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, SEPTEMBER 20,1995 INCRFDIRIF JOURNEY North to Alaska... by horse The west is still a wild and woolly place for a woman, her horse and two dogs as they make an incredible 4,000-mile journey to Alaska. Snellen Finatri, a 46-year-old mother and grandmother, says she's dreamed of making the trip from Michigan to the Alaska border on horseback for years. '1 have travelled 2,700 miles to see this," she said as she led her horse across the Peace River. 'This is the one big dream of a lifetime. In the states we call Alaska the last frontier and now I'm actually going to see it," said the road-weary, dust-covered Finatri. It is a dream fraught with many challenges and dangers, though, as Finatri, her horse Nakota, and dogs Cheyenne and Akita arc discovering. Armed with a shotgun and packing a tent and supplies, the group has survived many near- disasters since setting out from Michigan on February 1 this year. Just south of the hill at Taylor Flats, Finatri and her band of travelling companions were surrounded by three wolves, but were left alone. The worst times die group has faced so far came in Saskatchewan. After dctouring to avoid the smoke from forest fires, they were hit by a dust storm, a tornado and drought. 'The tornado got under die tent and was slowly curling me and Cheyenne into a ball and I couldn't get the zipper of the sleeping bag open. When I finally got it up we dove under a bush, but the tent was torn up pretty bad." With a new tent they set out again, only to hit a part of Saskatchewan where all of the farms and towns were abandoned. "We couldn't find any water for Uirec days, and there were no people. It was pretty scary. Now I know how the cowboys of (lie old west felt on a cattle drive, when they hit dust stonns and couldn't find water." She has only used Uie gun once so far to shoot another dog that was trying to kill her dog, but she suspects she'll need it again now Lions remain unbeaten SEPTEMBER 15 Langley Thunder 3 Chilliwack Chiefs 8 ECBKSJL 18:02 chwk Dion Hagen (J.FUimw, A.Bouchw) 1:57 UNO Martin Louzsk (A.Srubko, R.Toye) 10:18 chwk Tyler Quiring (Darcy Mattarsdorf) 12:44 chwk Chris Larsen (Shawn York, M.Pfeifer) 13:23 chwk Aaron Boucher (James Reimer) 19:33 UNO Pf Randy Toye ( Ludek Broz, D.

"I know wildlife and nature, so I'm prepared," Finatri says. "I've just taken a bit of my horse sense, hunting sense and nature sense and shook it up in a bag and hope it works." Finatri says they have also met a lot of great people along the road. 'The people of Canada have been terrific - really helpful all the way along. The further north I go the friendlier people get," she says. '1 haven't regretted this trip for a second since I started out." Everywhere she goes, Finatri is welcomed. In one Alberta town she was invited to join in the rodeo parade and made a guest of ' honor at Uie festivities. Since she arrived in the Peace, the town of Taylor offered her lunch, and the city of Fort St. John paid for a motel room and found a place- where she could pasture her horse. Both mayors welcomed her to the North Peace, and members of the local RCMP provided a car escort to help her cross the river. "It really makes you feel good, especially now that I'm on the Alaska Highway, and towns are fewer and farther between, to know that there are people like this Uiat are looking out for us," she says. And wherever she goes people stop lo talk, offer help, even travel short distances widi her. "For a few days a couple of young girls travelled with me because they'd never done anything like it. It was like having my daTigTftei'ffWith inc." In Dawson Creek Finatri added Akita to her band, saving Uie dog from certain death at the local SPCA. Finatri hopes to complete her 4,000 mile trek to the Alaska border by December 1 and then help out with the world-famous Iditar- od dog sledding race. By the lime she returns home to her family she'll have been away for close to two years, but she thinks it's worth il. "We've had a lot of good things and a lot of bad diings happen lo us. We've all got our battle scars to take home with us, and good memories too."

FINE STYLE IN OPENER Keys to early maturing ALDERGROVE - Premier A team. Gold Key United, played its first game of the season on Sunday, away at Millar Park in Coquitlam to opponents Metro Ford Strikers, the former Canadian National Team Champions. Over the previous two seasons, Gold Key were never able to fashion a win against the Strikers, their best result being a scoreless draw last October. This year, a new look Gold Key team with only eight returnees from last year's squad, and eight new players were not expected to contend in the early part of the season until cohesion and team play developed several games into the season. Against Metro Ford they showed signs of an early maturing, playing at times with mid-season poise and confidence. After the first five minutes of the game, when the Strikers were pressing and forcing the play in the Gold Key end of the field, Gold Key turned the game from one of defending to one where they were attacking, thus forcing the Strikers into a defensive role. They were creating chances with accurate passing and deft give and go's. Their efforts were rewarded when, 20 minutes into the game, Lisa Brood broke clear on the right side. She crossed the ball across the face of the eighteen yard box to Erika Stcincback, who had timed her run in from the left side, her finishing giving the Strikers' goalie no chance, Gold Key were unlucky not to be up by more goals before the half as they produced some excellent chances, but had to settle for a 1-0 half time lead. The second half was only four minutes old when the Strikers tied the score when Margo McKim caught the Gold Key goalie a little off her line and chipped her from about 30 yards out. It was a great . goal beating a great goalie. If anyone thought that the 95 edition Gold Key would fold or sag, they were very mistaken. The tying goal seemed to strengthen their resolve; with great determination they began to control the game and went ahead 3-1 on goals scored by Erika Stcincback at the 10 and 20 minutes mark of the second half, giving her a natural hat trick. This all on her birthday and on her first game in . the premier division, having just moved up from youth soccer. Though she was the one who scored, she was ably assisted by her team who continually loaded the gun for her. In the late stages of the game Gold Key tried, but any threat of Coquitlam staging a come-back were thwarted by Michele Gademans, who was called upon to make two or three good (routine for her) saves. wHW* Next game for Gold Key will be Tuesday, Sept. 19 at Eteadner " Park vs Cliff Ave. UniffB and then at Parkside on 32. Avenue in Aldergrove on Sunday, Sept., 24 at noon. Coach John Deacon said, "When you have put your faith and trust in so many new players on the team, it is very satisfying to sec them blend in with the players who were on the team previously. We seem to have a good mix of veteran players and young youthful players with the experience blending in with the enthusiasm of the younger players." The second Womens Aldergrove Premier team, running under the banner of Aldergrove United, travelled to UBC for a game against the UBC "B" team and came out on the wrong end of a 3-2 score, allowing UBC to notch the winner with five minutes remaining in the game. This evens their record to 1 win - 1 loss in two games. Next home game for them will be at 10 am at Parkside on 32. Avenue, on Sunday, Sept. 24.

The LLAC is a non profit community law office that provides information and assistance for many different legal problems. The LLAC takes applications for legal aid, has court- worker, criminal defence and advocacy programs, and provides publication. The LLAC's advocacy program provides trained staff paralegals who advocate on behalf of clients of the Ministry of Social Services who are appealing ministry decisions. The role of an appellant nominee, as a tribunal member, is to ensure that both parties receive a fair hearing. The tribunal's decision is based on evidence presented at the appeal and must be made within the provisions of the GAIN Act and Regulations. The length of tribunals vary, but tend to be one to three hows long. If you are a community-service oriented individual and are interested in volunteering a few hours a month to assist members of your community, contact Karen Reich at the Langley Legal Assistance Centre at 530-5811 for more information. An information seminar is to be held in the near future. w EAITTH ^°- By JULIE EDWARDS, In many of my previous articles I have discussed the many types of investments available to investors. These included anything from guaranteed low yielding bonds, to high risk and high yielding stocks. However, the reality is that many people favour the low risk, very conservative investments such as bonds. In the past, this often meant buying bonds for certain durations based on an estimate of'future interest rates. This often results in poor returns during times of low interest rates, and lends uncertainty to the status of future investment strategies. Now a new strategy called the "laddered fixes income" portfolio approach to investing allows you to avoid this uncertainty. This strategy minimizes the reinvestment risk associated with both short term and lump sum investing by "laddering" successive maturity dates with several portions of your investment principle. Doing this reduces the effects of interest rate fluctuations on your total return, providing you with more levelled returns in your portfolio. TRAVEL FIRST... PAY LATER! NO DEPOSIT. NO INTEREST.

It allows a potentially higher rate of return over time, by consistently "rolling" invested funds out to longer-dated, higher yielding maturities. And for investors who require income periodically, laddering maintains short term liquidity by always having maturities pending within your portfolio. Laddering also impacts risk and flexibility. This strategy minimizes risk by reducing the chance of having to reinvest all of your funds at a time, of low interest rates. It also allows the flexibility of reinvesting maturing funds out to a longer term, higher yielding- investment during high interest climates. • The large number and variety of fixed income investments that are now available to the investor make this more important than ever. Do not think that just because you require conservative investments, that it is as easy as going to the bank when they mature. Maximize your returns by laddering, and take advantage of .all the investments and services available to you at firms like Midland Walwyn Capital Inc..

The lucky 12 year old goes back to Langley Christian School in style! j -Kurt Langmann photo The computer corner By ROBERT MELYNCHUK ; So there you are, working away at your computer. Suddenly, your monitor becomes very bright, then shrinks to a dot, then back to a bright white, and black dead. Oh no, you say! And no matter how much you'd like to breathe life back into your computer, you know you can't. You are a victim of an electrical -surge, brown out, a blow out. You ask yourself 'if only, if FIRST AID TIPS! BURNS do not apply greasy ointments, use cool cloths - release the burning. Count FIRST AID/C.P.R. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES. only I would have bought a surge protector'. Maybe. There is no definite answer as to whether you would have been saved by a surge protector. Surge protectors come in many models, and they are sold at almost even price levels. If you have already bought a computer you need to go back and ask the sales staff what is applicable to your computer. I'm not a fan of mail order houses because of the distance you are from them in terms of exchanges and refunds. Here are a couple of models to consider. The first one is Panamas for around $110. The other one is Triptclite which sells in the $40 range. There may be some insurance companies out there that will sell, or already have, a clause to pay you for electrical damage. I could • not find one. In fact, they told me I was the first person to even inquire about insurance for computers.

ABBOTSFORD - Willie and Lobo, the surprise hit of the 1995 Mission Folk Music Festival, return to the area for a concert at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium at 8 pm Sunday, October 15. The concert is presented by the Mission Music Society. "Willie and Lobo is one of the most talked about groups of this year's festival." says artistic director Francis Xavier. "Already there is a buzz about their upcoming concert." Two years ago the spirited violinist and fiery flamenco guitarist took adult alternative radio by storm and skyrocketed to the #2 spot on Billboard Magazine's world music chart with their debut recording, Gypsy Boogaloo. This album held the #2 spot for 10 weeks and remained on the chart for 33 weeks. Critics have called Willie and Lobo mesmerizing, intoxicating and exotic, and hauntingly passionate. But in the same down-to- earth, humble manner that has endeared them to audiences across the United States and Canada, these fun-loving musicians describe themselves as "just rocking gypsy surfer dudes." True, the pair docs like to spend their spare time "shooting the curl" off the shores of Puerto Val- larla. But their second album, Fandango Nights, is a testament to their first love, a flavourful musical brew grounded in gypsy traditions and spiced with cajun, Tex-Mex, Middle Eastern, tango, jazz, and even a little Virginia reel. Willie and Lobo's distinctive sound was born on the stage of a Mama Mia's, a small Mexican bistro where the two musicians first collaborated in 1991. Willie Royal, a Florida native, had already played in several bands, including concerts with Gregg Allman. Wolfgang "Lobo" Fink's career odyssey included a year of living and studying flamenco guitar in the caves of Spanish Sacromonte in Grenada. Their third album has just been released and will be available at the October 15 concert. Tickets are $14 and are available at Mission and Abbotsford Pharmasave. As one reviewer put it, "...with this group's success, the next time they hit town, it'll probably cost you double." Call the Mission Music Society office at (604) 826-5937 for information on this and other concerts coming this fall and winter, or drop by the office at 33223 First Ave., Mission, Monday through Wednesday and Fridays between 10 am and 2 pm. and a Springtime Dance on April 5. All dances are Canadian and North American squares, reels and contra dances and continue the tradition of country dancing that stretches back to the early days of Canada. On Friday nights in small towns all across the country, friends and neighbours would gather in the local community hall and swing their partners to the sounds of fiddles and banjos, guitars and spoons. The Oolichans, who provide the music for the Fort Langley Old Time Country Dances, are made up of Marcelle (Marcie) Nokony on fiddle, Tim Stacey on string bass and Fort Langley resident John Prisland on banjo and Appalachian dulcimer. Calling and instruction is handled by Cameron Stewart, the founder of the Vancouver Old Time Country Dances and one of the finest callers anywhere. The main objective of The Fort Langley Old Time Country Dances is to produce affordable family events. The support of local businesses and individuals has made this possible. The Old Time Harvest Dance is sponsored by Personal Touch Family Hair Care, Spill The Beans Coffee House, Surrey Metro Savings of Fort Langley and The Village Antiques Mall. Swing your partners!

ALDERGROVE - Young rockers may have found their "Nirvana," but for a slice of "Rock 'n' Roll Heaven" this weekend at the Aldergrove Legion is the place to be. Darren Lee brings his amazing one-man show for two nights to the Legion hall, and it's open to the public, whether or not they are Legion members. "Rock 'n' roll heaven is a tribute to the legends who are no longer with us, except in spirit," said Lee this week. "My first set will focus on the '50s Elvis, the second set is Ritchie Valcns and Buddy Holly, the third set is the '60s Elvis, and the last set is assorted oldies: Del Shannon, Conway Twitty, Dion & The Bel ls Elvis alive and well in Aldergrove? Not likely, but the next best thing, Darren Lee's Rock 'n' Roll Heaven comes to town this weekend. moiiis, plus newer stuff from people like Marty Stuart, Cheap Trick., even a Kiss song that people really enjoy, even if they don't remember who it was that did that song." Kiss? The mascara-laden, fire- eating, heavy metal band that looked like they stepped out of a comic book? Well, Darren Lee is not the first to admit his love for that '70s marvel, as country music's chart-buster, Garth Brooks is on the record as citing Kiss as a major influence on his career. Lee says his first love, at age ten, was for the exuberant music of the early Elvis Presley, hut Kiss came next. "Kiss wasn't just metal, they did ballads, and the rock song of theirs, that I do, fits right in with the rest of the early rock nostalgia in my show," said Lee. Lee, who originally hails from Edmonton, is now based in (he Lower Mainland, and his tribute shows enjoy success at a variety of venues. He sold out his last appearance here at (he Legion, and many came away with a lot of respect for his Elvis moves and song styles. "In the '50s he was Elvis the Pelvis and you have to live up to that energy," said Lee. "These were short snappy songs like Jail- house Rock, whereas in the '60s (he songs became mellower and longer, like Living In The Ghet- (o." Lee has been doing his Elvis routine since turning professional at age 21, touring with the Elvis Elvis Elvis Show: "I played the '50s Elvis — we did well across Canada. After that I started a cover baud, doing Roy Orbison, Ricky Nas0n3he Beatles, before taking a break for a couple of years. "Then last year I won an Elvis impersonation contest in Edmonton, sponsored by the Elvis Presley Museum and sanctioned by Graceland, and that won me a trip to Graceland. There were other winners from elsewhere, but I was judged Uie best from Canada, and they must have liked me, because they called me and asked me to do a seven and a half month tour of Australia, which was just great. "Then three weeks ago, I went down to Graceland again for Uie Images of Elvis competition held in Memphis. There were all kinds of Elviscs from Australia, Japan, Brazil, the US of course — there were 200 in the contest, and I finished number three in the world. That was a real thrill," said Lee. Elvis passed away almost 20 years ago, but it seems his spirit will never fade away, not as long as fans move to his beat and thrill to his superb vocals. Local fans can relive those memories with one of the best, Darren Lee in performance this Friday and Saturday evening, Sept. 22-23. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts an hour later in Uie Legion banquet hall. Tickets arc a mere $12 advance or $15 at the door. Spank or not?

Before we know it, the long, lazy days of the season are over and autumn is upon us, bringing shorter days and colder weather. Although the change in weather has. little effect on most of us humans, the approaching fall and winter seasons can be rough on our backyard birds. An often dramatic decrease in the supply of natural foods and fewer daylight hours make it difficult for birds to find sources of Patio Mix i4 pot $865 Garden Chrysanthemums Winter <.«-en Pansies™u WINTER BIRD WATCHING MADE EASY - Hanging a bird feeder, such as the Easy Feeder from Easy Gardener, in your yard this fall will encourage birds to visit throughout the winter, providing hours of bird watching entertainment. food. Vfe need not worry though, for we can help out our feathered friends and benefit at the same time by providing them with food and partaking in the entertaining and relaxing hobby of bird watching. Bird Feeders Actually, fell is the best time to start feeding birds, because they have yet to settle down in their winter territories and have not fixed their habits of searching for food. If you set up a bird feederin early autumn and keep it filled with food you can attract many wintering birds that will become accustomed to visiting before cold weather actually begins. Then, as the fell turns into winter, those birds will usually elect to remain where they know there's an ample supply of tasty, accessible food. Though generally not difficult to make from scratch or assemble from a kit, even a simple bird feeder can be a time-consuming project. Ornate, preassembled and large-scale bird feeders can be bought, but they are costly and more likely to be used by longtime bird watchers. An easier, less expensive option is to purchase a ready-to-use, prefilled, plastic bird feeder, such as the Easy Feeder by Easy Gardener, from a nearby garden center or hardware store. The Easy Feeder comes filled with a well-balanced, nutritious selection of bird food, including fifty percent black oiled sunflower seeds, millet and milo, so that it lures the widest variety of song 'birds. An Easy Feeder is also a good choice because it dispenses the seed mix only when needed.

To save money, choose less expensive carpets for bedrooms which do not receive a lot of wear, and buy better, more densely woven carpets for hallways, stairs and living rooms. The right carpet can transform your room. It can make a small room appear larger, a large room seem smaller and a cool room seem warmer. Pastel colors arc a popular choice for bedrooms. A more practical choice elsewhere might be a richer color or a pattern which would help hide soiling or staining. Rugs and carpets can also be treated to be more stain-resistant. Initially carpets "fluff and shed their pile. This is normal. Don'i vacuum for the first week or so, and then give a light vacuum each day. With regular care a carpet should only need deep cleaning after prolonged use. If you use a wet shampoo, try a test on an inconspicuous corner first—if the color runs, use a dry shampoo or call in a professional. Rinse off all detergents and dry thoroughly. If you don't, casters or metal furniture legs may cause rust marks. Over-wetting can also lead to shrinkage. Synthetic fiber carpets arc often easier lo clean than pure wool—but for wear and quality, a mixture of wool with nylon or acrylic often achieves the best of both worlds. Birds of winter From page 14... damaging effects of rain and snow, or contaminiation by bird waste. And, when empty, the,durable feeder can be refilled at minima] cost or put out with the recyclables. Once you've assembled or purchased a bird feeder, scout your yard for the best locations for hanging it. Keep in mind that a feeder should be hung in areas that are out of reach for squirrels, mice and cats. The feeder should also be placed in areas of abundant natural shelter, such as trees and hedges. This is especially important in the fall and winter months for the shrubbery serves as protection against the cold winds and snowstorms of the seasons. Easy Gardener recommends hanging two or more Easy Feeders in order to attract an increased number of birds. Bird Baths After you have the feeder in place, you may want to consider setting up a bird bath in your yard. This will serve as an additional attraction for bird visitors, providing them with a place to stop for a quick drink or to clean their feathers. One thing to remember while maintaining a bird bath during the fell and winter months is that it must be kept thawed. One way to do this is by adding hot water to the bath every so often. If you set up your bird bath on a window shelf, you won't need to venture out in unbearably cold weather. Although this method will suffice, a more -convenient, and relatively inexpensive way to keep the bath thawed is by investing in a waterproof electrical heater. This is a good choice because it keeps water at a certain, even temperature. These heaters can be purchased at aquarium supply stores for about 10 dollars. Bird Haven Now that you have turned your yard into a bird haven for the upcoming seasons, sit back, relax and watch for the many wintering birds that will visit your family's yard. The average garden attracts approximately fifteen species, but the number varies, depending on where you live. Common winter visitors include cardinals, jays, mockingbirds, chickadees, nuthatches and mourning doves. Easy Gardener suggests buying a bird watching guide that will help you identify your new guests. Whatever you decide, you can now enjoy the entertaining, educational and rewarding pastime of bird watching, all the while knowing that you have done something to contribute to the preservation of our fine feathered friends. There's more to it than just paint and brush £ Rugs are a good alternative to carpets, particularly if you have parquet or wooden flooring." Oriental rugs and carpets capture the beauty and mystery of the East and are the perfect way to enhance the home. With proper care and attention they can last up to one hundred years or more! For everyday cleaning, an Oriental carpet can be vacuumed, but be careful. The vacuum can catch the fringes and cause the edges to rip. Vacuum in the direction of the pile and hand brush the fringes. No matter how careful you are, accidents happen. However, dry cleaning solutions can turn a domestic disaster into a memory. One teaspoon of detergent added to a pint of water is effective on spills, and can prevent permanent staining if used quickly. A teaspoon of .ammonia added to a cup of warm water also removes stains if the carpet is treated immediately. With any stain, a quick response is essential. Test any solution on a small area for colorfastness. Tackle the stain by working into the center from the edges. Coffee and other liquids are among the most common stains. Remove as much of the liquid as you can with a sponge. Work with the cleaning solution as suggested and follow up with a dry cloth frequently. To remove blood, chocolate, egg, fruit, glue or grass, first scrape with a blunt knife. Then, starting at the outer edge of the stain, use the detergent solution, sponge dry and follow with ammonia solution. Chewing gum, fats, grease, lipstick, nail polish, solids, tar and wax are also first scraped with a blunt knife. After scraping, use a dry cleaning solvent, follow it with the detergent solution and blot dry. While sponging milk and soft drinks, use the detergent solution. As always, start at the outer edge and work in toward the center of the spill. Blot dry. Follow with ammonia solution and finally dry the area again. Take your time when choosing a new carpet or rug. With the proper care, you'll be enjoying them for yearslo come. By Jeff Keller "Mr. Handyman" Radio Show (NU)—Painting really has been revolutionized in recent years. It's more than brushes and tinted paint— and some of the newer entries have taken environmental issues into consideration. Traditional kinds of brushes are still around, but there's an .addition to • the group, the 3M NewStroke snap-off - brush. It comes in a multi-pack, and you snap off each brush .as you need it. The entire handle is made from recycled materials, eliminating the plastic/wood/metal found on conventional brushes. Each brush also performs as a "better" quality brush at a reasonable price. Rollers include the conventional as well as a V-shaped item for corners. A Companion roller to the above-mentioned brush can be used on all surfaces. When you're using latex, you can clean this roller thoroughly in less than one minute with less than three gallons of water. Power painting tools include hand pumps and electronic models (which are noisy). There are two kinds of spray-painting tools. One uses compressed air to project paint onto a sur- August home sales brisk SURREY - The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board reported another good month for residential salfrK The number of salpsiduring August 1995 was up 16*jw cent over those of July '95, and up 45.2 per cent over August '94. "Comparisons with sales during Uie nine-month market correc- tion that started July 1994 and continued until April of 1995 can't help but look great," cautions Dan Bennett, president, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, "so, for a more accurate comparison, it's helpful to go back two years. Even when you compare the August '95 total of 1364 with the August '93 total of 1,297, it's clear that this was a very good month for home sales in the Fraser Valley." face. The other is an airless sprayer that pumps liquid paint through a spray gun at high pressure to create a denser, more directed mist. In the bucket, probably the most interesting new entry is the Glidden Spred 2000. According to the company, this is the first conventional interior latex paint in the United States that does not contain petroleum-based solvents. Petroleum-based solvents in most conventional latex and oil-based paints contribute to the strong odor usually associated with painting. The odor of Gliddcn's product is virtually non-existent.

Recent events hosted by the Mat- squi-Aklcrgrove Singles Society and Alder Grove Heritage Society have found the park ideal for friendly get-togethers. Singles society spokesperson Martha Siemens said about 40 guests — single parents, seniors and children - recently held their hot dog and com roast there. Each family brought pot luck salad and a $2 donation to cover costs of hot dogs, com, coffee and iced drinks, along with sweets donated by Fraser Valley Bakery and Grannie's Restaurant. -"Our thanks to the Alder Grove Heritage Society for opening the door of Uie BC Tel/Hart Heritage Building," said Siemens. "A tour of the phone museum was conducted by David Hockins and myself, and thoroughly enjoyed by the visitors, especially the youngsters whose eyes literally popped out in amazement, as they had never seen such a variety of phones. We were also thankful for the powder room privileges, and thanks to Peggy for making that extra pot of coffee." Siemens said guests were from the Aldergrove areas of Abbotsford and Langley, as well as Irene from North Vancouver. "We welcomed to the group Grace, Connie, Victoria, Gord and Marg and their children. The party, after sin- galongs, music and some dancing, finally broke up at 7 p.m. and then went off to church. "If Uie weather holds, we hope to have more pot lucks and BBQs outside, along with the dance in October. For more information on coming events call 856-0622 or 853-0858," said Siemens. The gazebo was also the chosen spot for the Alder Grove Heritage Society's annual members' pot luck picnic, with about 30 in attendance. Special guest was member Bill Franklin, who was honoured for his bravery during service in the Second World War. Franklin, who was also recently featured in a Star story about his experiences as a prisoner of war in Nagasaki, was also presented with a pair of tickets to the Oct 6 Vancouver performance by the Black Watch, as a guest of The Star.

Chicken farmers invited on B.C.-Asia trade trip THE ALDERGROVE STAR. SEPTEMBER 20,1995 17 SURREY - Premier Mike Harcourt says he wants members of the B.C. Chicken Board with him on his upcoming trade mission to the Pacific Rim and India. The Premier made the invita- ■■ tion in person to members of the chicken industry who attended a giant meet-the-cabinet-govern- ment-caucus dinner last week. More than 700 persons attended the almost six-hour long event that included one of the biggest promotions ever of B.C. chicken. It was the largest political dinner event ever held in the Lower Mainland outside of Vancouver. Agriculture Minister David Zirnhelt sat at the same table with chicken growers and board members from Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Vancouver Island and die North Okanagan. The premier spent some time at the "Chicken Industry" table where he learned, that B.C. chicken is the most successful food commodity in Canada over the last decade, and that exports to the Pacific Rim have taken off. "I think you guys...I want you guys to come with me when I visit Asia and India," the Premier said. "I want you to come with me on our trade tour and this dme we are going to India as well." Later, Zirnhelt said it was a great invitation and opportunity considering that B.C.'s Pacific Rim chicken exports have grown from 1.1-million kilograms in 1993 to more than five-million kilograms this year, worth some $66-million. B.C. has the highest per capita consumption of chicken meat in Canada widi more than $1-billion invested in production and processing. Zirnhelt insisted he has no animosity towards the chicken board or the association for trying to correct statements in a controversial early July report by the B.C. Marketing Board. The report has been criticized by a number of industry stakeholders, including Chicken "rowers, for making mis- leading claims and statements that were not supported by hard facts. At the dinner late last week the Chicken Industry members also had some frank and open discussions about the commodity and other matters with cabinet members. As well as the trade tour invitation from the Premier, some board and association members will also be having separate meetings over lunch or dinner with Attorney General Ujjal Dosanjh and Environment Minister Moe Sihota. Albert Bartel, chairman of the Chicken Board, called participation by the board and association directors "very successful." 'Not only were we able to help promote B.C. chicken in a big way but also to communicate about our industry and correct some very unfortunate misconceptions about growers and our board. "From the start of our industry's financial problems created by Central Canada's over-production, I have insisted we conduct ourselves properly because we have nothing to hide," said Bartel.. "I believe that our efforts arc starting to make others realize how important our industry is." LOU ISFELD SEPT. 22 & 23 / 95 looded. XLT. : #9382321 LIST - $21,995 SAVE 4108 7 passenger. #9482161.

Another couple came along and bought the two acres next to us. They built their house on their property very close to the fence line that separates us. Now they are complaining to us that our chicken house is too near their house and the noise bothers them. We can't do anything about our chicken house now, and anyways, don't you think they would have noticed it before they built and moved farther away? We only have 20 chickens and to us they are just like pets. They don't make that much noise and we can't see that our neighbours have that much to complain about. What should we do about it, if anything? Signed: Chicken lovers. Dear Chicken lovers, This reminds me of camping, when you pick a nice isolated campsite and next think you know someone is camped right next to you, even though there are dozens of other empty spaces. Ignore your neighbours. You were there first, and your chickens have tiieir rights too. Offer the neighbours a dozen eggs every week and see if that keeps them from cackling. So this horse goes into a bar and orders a drink and the bartender says to him, "Why the long face?". Dear Annabelle, My old friend and fellow retired soldier Brigadier Hugo j* (Huge) Wallop suggested that I write lo you because I have a vital message for the public. Now hear this: There is a distinct danger that at the next provincial election the New Democratic government might be defeated by that rag-tag gang of retread Socreds, thinly disguised Tories and economic pirates led by so-called "Liberal" Gordon Campbell. Annabelle, my dear, it is a clear fact that Mr. Campbell is about as 'liberal" as Attila the Hun's meaner brother, and his mob of wealthy opportunists want nothing more than to further stuff their already bulging pockets by milking the majority of British Columbians of their hopes and savings whilst exporting the last of our natural resources. There is an Old Boys' Network of millionaire developers and industrialists which is just panting to abandon Medicare and chop down all social services while blacktopping as much of B.C. as they can grab. Right now, we have the best economy and standard of living in Canada. As my old Granny used to say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Don't listen to the big-city media types so loudly dedicated to tearing down the existing administration while offering nothing in its place but empty-headed prattle. Oh, it makes me MAD!

LANGLEY - On Saturday, September 23 at 11 am, Mayor Scholtens will be present to officially open and personally thank all who contributed their part in seeing the shared-use trail along 4 Avenue, between 224 and 232 Streets, completed. The trail initiative began under the auspices of the Township's recently created Community Connections Municipal Shared-Use Trails Program (pedestrian, equestrian, and bicyclist). This mile-long section of off-road trail is the culmination of efforts by many organizations and individuals over the last several years. The Langley Field Naturalists, with enthusiastic support from the Lochiel Community Association, spearheaded a successful funding contribution from Environment Canada, which was matched with funding committed by the Township and residents. The trail, which cost $115,000 to construct, was built primarily with volunteer labor, equipment and materials, although contractors did assist with the bridge foundations, some fencing and earthmoving. "It is always a pleasure to recognize the efforts and contributions made by volunteers in our community," Scholtens said. "Once again, we can see firsthand, the results of the joint efforts of private citizens, organizations and the Township working towards a common goal." "The project is an excellent example of what partnerships at the community level can achieve for the environment", said Gretchen Harlow, Project Officer widi Environment Canada. The opening ceremony will take place near the 224 Street entrance just north of 4 Avenue and will include the unveiling of a placque commemorating all those who donated time, equipment, labor and/or funding to this trail. Following the opening, there will be a tour of the entire mile section of new trail if time permits. For those driving to the ceremony, parking will be available in the area at the bottom of the hill north of 4 Avenue and on the east side of 224 Street. 2743 Emmerson St. Abbotsford 853-3455 West Oaks Mall SJ SOUTH FRASER WAY {ABBOTSFORD NISSAN Home away from home CfGcltion at TrinitV the aldergrove star* Septemberao; 1*395 19 By SCOTTTAYLOR and DIANA CHARLESTON ALDERGROVE - Families from Langley to Chilliwack, who need a place of support and creative inspirations, need look no further than Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services. Located at 27119 Fraser Highway, the centre is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 3 pm, with additional hours on Wednesday from 4:30-8:39 pm and Saturdays 9;30 to noon. The drop in is free and open to parents and other caregivers with children between birth to six years old. The centre offers a range of services to the community that include a family drop-in, library, and a parenting resource centre. One of the unique features of the centre is the support offered to parents. Deborah Hynam, the centre's program coordinator for the family drop-in, identifies the goal of the centre as providing "services which help parents support each other by being togedier and having a place other than their own home. It's like a home away from home." Aldergrove residents and service providers were concerned at the lack of community services that address die needs of families. A committee was formed and met over several mondis lo attempt to address Uie gaps in support. It was recommended by the Child and Youth Committee that the committee apply for funding through Community Action Program for Children, a federally funded program through Health Canada: Once the funding was approved the centre opened its doors on Jyjie 22. Yvnc of the main priorities of the program deals with children up to the age of six years. While not a daycare, there is available a fully equipped play room where the youngsters can play with their parents. Activities include crafts, circle time, songs, stories and socializing with other children. There is also a toy lending library stocked with a wide.assortment of toys, books and parent resource material which can be loaned out for up to two weeks. It is also a valuable support for parents to meet with other parents to share thoughts and experiences. 'The service is open to what people want and what they are interested in," said Deborah. She also adds that input into the services offered by the centre is greatly appreciated and encouraged. In the fall it is hoped to add more structured programs for families that involve holidays with multicultural themes. Immanuel Lutheran Church Jf. 3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove -fpV 856-4710 .

Local bikersfl raise bucks for health VANCOUVER - Glorious sunshine made the pedalling easier as eight Abbotsford-area cyclists rode 200 kilometres for lung health at the British Columbia Lung Association's Bicycle Trek for Life & Breath. The local participants were Hans Braunv Pierre Carriere, Megan Lee Kleisinger, Cheryl Ann Zanardo, Lynn Andersen, Christina Radnai, and Elizabeth Thomas of Abbotsford and Kelly Fowler of ML Lehman. The two-day trek was a success, as cyclists' efforts contributed to a province-wide total of over $210,000. Trekkers have until mid-October to continue collecting donations to help reach the association's goal of collecting $270,000. Funds raised go toward lung disease research, health education and community programs. The Abbotsford-area trekkers were among 300 cyclists from all over B.C., who rode at their own pace along scenic country roads in the Fraser Valley and northwestern Washington state, Sept. 9-10. "The beautiful weather, the camaraderie and the successful fundraising made this eleventh annual trek the best ever. We really appreciate how they are helping us in our fight against lung disease and increasing awareness of the importance of exercise to good lung health," said Don Joy, B.C. Lung Association volunteer president. Each Trek '95 participant raised $375 in donations before the ride, and trekkers collected an average of $700 each.

Friends and family gathered at the farm home of Edward and Heidi Hagnes on Sept. 15 to celebrate the couple's 60th wedding anniversary. Ed and Heidi immigrated here from Finland in 1948, and in 1949 settled in the Fraser Valley with their three daughters, Lilly-Ann of Wichita, Kansas, Delcie of Kelowna, and promising concert violinist Helen, who was tragically killed in New York in 1980. The couple felt "honoured by the friendship and warm wishes" received from far and wide on their special day. -Wanda Nyvall photo MUNICIPAL GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICE LANGLEY SPECIAL CLEAN-UP WEEK Residents within the MUNICIPAL Garbage Collection Areas are advised that The Municipality, in conjunction with Browning-Ferris Industries Ltd., has selected THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 25,1995 as Clean-up Week.

'It was a good day for the club with improvements on each team," said head coach Dave Kyle, who was especially pleased with the Junior-Woodlawn Homes team. The young team, mainly made up of high school students from Yale and Robert Bateman, buried the Langley opposition 48 to 6. 'They played very well, linked up quickly and effectively considering we have had only two practices," said junior coach Steve Vcrdonk. He singled out "excellent game efforts by scrum half Scan Bone, stand-off Chris Kilt, fullback and captain Chad Racldins and the scrum's hooker Jeremy Harnett, who was also named the game's Man-Of-Thc-Maleh. „ The Abbotsford third team - Eagle Trailers - "started out like gangbustcrs," said coach Ron Oklenburgcr. After producing some good ball, Abby's stand-off Steve Rowcll kicked a penalty 10 minutes into the game to put the black and white up by three. An unconverted try followed about 15 minutes later and at the half Abby led by 11 to 0. Oldcnhurgcr made four changes - three in his scrum and one back - at the half, but the team started slowly with what the coach called "early season mental let-down." Langley put on sustained pressure for much of the half, but hard tackling prevented any opposition tries, and Langley managed only three points. A try by full back Trevor Killian with about 10 minutes left ended the scoring 16 lo 3. Hooker Pete Smith, eighth man Parm Sidhu and scrum half Clayton Racldins, were praised for their hard play. Abbotsford's First Division fifteen - Larry's Furniture - hammered last year's Fraser Valley Division One rugby champions 48 to 9 on two tries by eighth man Mike Schmidt and one each by prop forward Steve Preston, wingers Tony Rietsma, Peter MacDonald, who also notched a drop-goal, and scrum half John Buchanan. Stand-off Rob Phillips was again sharp on converts and penalties and one drop-kick goal. He also hit three posts on kicks. 'This was a much better game than last week," said Kyle. "I don't think I've ever seen a pack (the eight-man scrum) who can all run the ball like this team." He explained that in the first half Abbotsford had "six possessions inside Langley's 35 and we scored on five of them.' That is a Cascades defeat Capilano CHILLIWACK - UCFV Striker Toivo Hutikka scored what would prove to be the winner in the ninth minute, as the LJCFV men's soccer team shut out Capilano College 1-0 in their 1995 BCCAA Conference opener on Saturday in North Vancouver. The UCFV women opened the scoring in their game against the Capilano women, fell behind 2-1 at hajf, and then were buried by five unanswered Capilano goals and their own defensive mistakes in the game's final 45 minutes. The UCFV men travel to Nanaimo Saturday to take on the undefeated Malaspina men's team, and return home to play Okanagan University College, Sunday September 24 at the Rotary Stadium Complex in Abbotsford at noon. The UCFV women will try to regroup for their game'agsiihst OUC at 2 pm' VS..1-die sait^'iield*.*^!^^^^^!^ very high percentage." While Langley's "strength was their backs we contained them very well and fullback Jason Latta kicked to possession well," Kyle noted. He said the team must continue to improve and keep concentration high for its away games'on the next two weekends. Abbotsford's second team - the Murphy-Wakefield (plumbers) - gassed its opposition 46 to 12 "with a great team effort by both forwards and backs," said coach Mike Lewis. "There was good contact by everybody, and the hot hands (quick passing) worked well." Stand-off Jason Young did all the kicking - converts and penal- tics - scrum half Scott Alexander and winger James Dobson each scored two tries, with singles scored by backs Ross Trout and forwards Scott Barker and B.C. team hooker Al Burrows, who can not play regularly for the Abby Firsts, until he meets fitness testing levels. "Al is coining off an injury, but he knows he still has a way to go on his fitness," said Lewis.

Star display ads are only $8.50 per column/inch 856-8303 Victoria unveils transit plan BURNABY - Premier Mike Harcourt and Employment and Investment Minister Glen Clark have unveiled a ten-year development plan for BC Transit. The plan. In Transit: People Moving People, will expand the public transit network by introducing light rail transit and rapid bus systems for the Lower Mainland, and expands bus services throughout the province. "A cornerstone of the ten-year plan is light rail transit," said Harcourt. "We are announcing that work will begin immediately on community consultation, engineering and land acquisition for both the Broadway-Lougheed- Coquitlam Centre line to be complete by 2005, and the Lougheed Town Centre to New Westminster line to be complete by 2008." Other components of the plan include: •introduction of Rapid Bus ser- vices in the Vancouver-Richmond, Broadway-Lougheed and New Westminster-Coquitlam corridors by the year 2000 •expansion of the SkyTrain vehicle fleet from 130 to 190 cars to meet transit demand in the Vancouver-Bumaby-New Westminster-Surrey corridor •expansion of the bus and trolley fleet from 950 currently to more than 1,200 •replacement of 530 buses with low-floor vehicles, making the . entire fleet accessible by 2006 •introduction of West Coast Express commuter rail service between Mission and downtown Vancouver in November, 1995 •expansion of Uie custom transit fleet from 190 vehicles to 270 •construction of a new bus operating centre in Richmond •construction of new transit exchanges and Park & Ride facilities in suburban areas •improved transit services in rapidly growing areas such as Kelowna, Kamloops, Prince George, Nanaimo region and the central Fraser Valley. The Transit Plan also calls for improvements in security, information and other customer services, including: •more and better on-street route and schedule information, and in languages other than English •more frequent bus service, particularly in medium- and high- density areas •an expanded Request-Stop program, better lighting at stops, security patrols and video surveillance •improved customer-service training for front-line personnel. The BC Transit ten-year development plan calls for investment averaging about $200-million per year, equal to average annual transit capital investments made over the past ten years. Implementing the plan will require a new level of cooperation between the provincial government, local governments and the private sector. Investments will be made after careful coordination and consultation with communities and.transit users. HELP WANTED Mature, self motivated individuals required to phone customers from home.
