m — •---..-.- - ELECTED OFFICIAL DONT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO AGREE Public spending: Is it too much, too little, or just the right amount? *»xr TIM f.MPPOM thprp " M<-iraa onH m/-,ro n«Anlo inff from Victoria Pprhans nnni By IAN CAMERON MURRAYVILLE - During 1994, local politicians plan to spend $ Ill-million. That is the amount budgeted for in the township's provisional budget. And although the final budget won't be approved until mid- May, one thing is clear: Taxes will go up. Again. All property owners have now received their assessment notices from the BC Assessment Authority. These evaluations of lands and buildings have increased by an average of 15 to 20 percent, meaning that taxes, theoretically, could go up by the same amount That may not happen, however, as the tax rates levied by local government could go down. Not likely to happen either. At this point nobody - not even the politicians - know for sure. Many other factors play in. Such as revenue expected from non-taxing sources, including grants from senior government. Local officials are still hoping for monies from Victoria, but this may be a vain hope. Provincials are hoping for money from Ottawa, and again may have to wait a long time. All coffers seem to be empty. Municipal councilors in this lower mainland township say that the actual average tax increase to property owners (and, incidentally, also paid indirectly by renters) in all likelihood will amount to somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-5 percent. They are still wrestling with die figures and will in all probability be making adjustments to the budget right up until the May 15 deadline. Shortly after that date, property owners will know. How do the seven elected council members feel about spending a record amount of taxpayers' money? It's hard to say. Some feel that the amount is just right, others want it chopped, and others yet want the Sill-million figure boosted. Deputy Mayor Steve Ferguson belongs in the first category. "It is an aggressive budget," he enthuses. "We must-do more with lest.* This latter statement, however, is not exactly correct Coun. Muriel Arnason, council's ever-vigilant proponent of truly doing more for less, naturally wants the budget slashed. Radically. And even Mayor John Scholtens agrees with Arnason that cuts may be in order. As long as they are not to affect protective services. Many .more police officers should be hired in Langley, he maintains. As for the rest of the council members? Well, newly-elected Steve Burton would like to Increase the budget (and with that, of course the taxes) by another unspecified amount It is necessary, he maintains, for Langley to build up reserve funds that can be spent on building capital projects in recreation and other fields. Coun.. Heather McMullan agrees with Buxton. Arnason, Burton and McMullan all vote against the budget, albeit for different reasons. Councilors Trudi Campen and Mel Kositsky seem to feel comfortable with the status quo. The local politicians have begun the long deliberations behind closed doors that will eventually spell out the fate of the, in Scholtens' words, "unsuspecting tax payer." Arnason continues in her quest. "We have seen an astronomical rise in assessments," she says. "The ordinary property owner and the small businessman are just trying to hang in there." More and more people are being forced to leave the lower mainland, she says. Be that all as it may, councilors are beginning to suspect that there won't be any money com ing from Victoria. Perhaps none at all. "Sad to say," says Ferguson, "But as we grow as a municipality, the province reduces the (cost sharing) revenue." POLICE SUSPECT DRUG CONNECTION Murdered man found on street LANGLEY - RCMP have identified a murder victim found here Monday morning as Dean Stuart Richardson, 24, of Vancouver. "The victim was shot with what appears to be a small calibre handgun," said a police spokesman. "The motivation for this murder appears to be drug- related at this time." Richardson's body was found by two sisters on a neighborhood walk in the 7200-block of 216 Street. Kim Benson said when they walked past the "nice looking" blue Chevrolet car they saw Richardson stretched out on the driver's seat with a bullet hole in his forehead, and they called 911. No one in the neighborhood had heard the gunshot, but police are asking for the public's help regarding the victim's movements on Sunday, Jan. 9 between noon and midnight. Police are especially interested in any observations made regarding activities in the 7200-block of 216 Street between 10 p.m. and midnight on Jan. 9- Information can be called to RCMP, 532-3200 or CrimeStoppers.

ALDERGROVE - An ugly three- car crash on Jan. 5 at the 264 Street-Fraser Highway intersection fortunately did not result in any serious injuries. William and Mary Home of Yarrow suffered minor injuries when their southbound Oldsmobile, while making a left turn onto Fraser Highway, collided 'with a northbound Ford pick-. up driven by Kenneth Franz Kohler, 29, of Aldergrove. The Home's vehicle was pushed into another Ford pickup, stopped in the westbound lane or Fraser Highway and driven by Gordon Fredrickson, 33, of Aldergrove. Neither Kohler or Fredrickson were injured, but their trucks were seriously damaged. The Homes were treated at MSA Hospital and released. Robot ends apartment standoff MATSQUI - Police here arrested a Surrey robbery suspect in a Clearbrook apartment building, Monday. Police were tipped eariy that morning on the Dahlstrom Avenue location, and not knowing whether the occupants were armed, were held to a nine-hour standoff, until a robot was brought in to ram the door down. One suspect had surrendered eariy in the standoff, after neighbors were evacuated and a loudspeaker demanded the occupants' surrender. The police action was hampered by the fact that there was no phone in the apartment and reports that a suspect had a handgun. A robot was called in from Vancouver's RCMP bomb squad, along with emergency response team, and when the robot began ramming the ground-floor apartment door about 11 a.m., three more men surrendered without -Incident. Police said the robot, which is. equipped with radio and one arm, runs on rubber treads and is heavy enough to knock down doors. Three of the men were later released, and no weapons were found.in the apartment. The suspect sought by police, Lance William Wust, 23, of Surrey, has been charged with armed robbery, assault causing bodily harm and pointing a firearm. Campbell says Matsqui is ready for new breed of Liberal politicians By KURT LANGMANN MATSQUI - B.C. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell says the upcoming by-election will be "a very tough election, and I've never underestimated (Social Credit leader) Grace McCarthy who's been involved for three decades as an admirable public servant. I just think people want the next generation of politicians. It's time to break old molds and get on with the problems of the past rather than simply reiterating them. 'It's a major challenge, we're breaking new ground, but we have a chance — Matsqui's ready.* Campbell was in the constituency, at the party's new campaign office at 32366 South Fraser Way, to meet community leaders and the media. It was all in preparation for the Jan. 18 party nominating meeting, in which 300 party members will choose between Michael De Jong and Ed Suderman. Premier Mike Harcourt could call the by-election as soon as this month. Socreds are fielding party leader Grace McCarthy and New Democrats have chosen Samuel Wagar as their candidate, while former Premier Bill VanderZalm announced this week that he will not seek election here. Campbell said he, "doesn't worry about the other parties. I'm sure we'll see lots of splinter parties in the future, but I lead a public party with strong grassroots support across the province. Pm only worried about running the best candidates and winning, establishing party policy and displacing the New Democrat government." In reference to the current government, Campbell said, "It's time to recognize we're living in the '90s and move forward. To lock ourselves in the ideologies of the past we remove the kinds of choices we have for the future. "We need total accountability," he said in reference to the recently outlined provincial Liberal policy which would 'require a balanced budget, free votes on everything except the budget and throne speech, and workable, cost-effective recall.

Association president Ivan Hanchard has told local councilors here that the signing of a master collective agreement be- tween BC 21 and the International Building Trades Unions would "negatively impact on your community and hinder rather than aid the achievement of the BC 21 objectives." Hanchard says that in order for a worker to become employed on a BC 21 project, he or she would first have to terminate.employment with an existing employer in order to be hired. The worker would then later have to terminate his employment with BC 21 (instructors in order to be tion, pensions and benefits and other employee plans, Hanchard says. Trouble is, he says, that "fully 70 percent of the existing road and bridge construction workforce belongs to other unions" than the only one recognized by the provincial government. "The master collective agreement is unnecessary and will likely restrict local employment and local business access," Hanchard says. He has suggested that local government contact Victoria on the matter. Employee trip sparks debate MURRAYVILLE - Langley township will be sending their public education officer, Rita Paine, to attend a workshop at the National Fire Academy in Emittsburg, Maryland. One council member thought it would be "money well spent." Coun. Heather McMullan was impressed that Paine was one of only two Canadians having been invited to attend the educators workshop. Coun. Muriel Arnason was of a different opinion. She has for a long time been speaking out against sending elected and non-elected officials on "junkets" at public expense. Democracy's gone, says councilor MURRAYVILLE - "We will probably never see a public referendum in Langley again," says township Coun. Muriel Arnason. She has criticized her five contemporaries for adopting policies that allows the municipality to proceed with huge building pro jects, such as arenas and community centres, without first bothering to ask the taxpayers if they are prepared to spend the many millions of dollars on the projects. Arnason says it's the death of democracy. VALID M0NDAYT0 FRIDAY ONLY Double IheRuitey Value! What a great way to start your new year!

Council's approval of this preliminary budget is the first step in the process of deciding how municipal funds will be allocated in 1994. Revenue and expenditure items are still subject to change prior to the adoption of the annual budget bylaw on May 16. A general municipal tax increase of 3.5 percent is proposed in the preliminary budget for the typical residential property in Langley. Since a number of factors are subject to change prior to the May deadline, such as grants and assessments, council is not able to commit-to a specific tax increase at this time. "Langley continues to be one of the fastest growing municipalities in Canada," says finance director Steve Wilcock. "Accordingly, the township must manage this growth and balance the ever-increasing demand for services within our ability to pay. The budget includes additional resources to ensure that future growth is orderly and financially sound. The finalization of our growth management strategy and a multi-year financial plan will be given a high priority in the 1994 work program." The budget includes funds for a music school as the fkst phase of a new cultural centre, and a leisure rink as part of the community centre in Wilnut Grove. It also provides for a skateboard park to be built in Willowbrook, enhanced playgrounds at Williams Park, completion of a ball field and soccer pitch at Langley Meadows, installation of backstops at the South Aldergrove community park, the first phase of a washroom- change room facility at the municipal athletic park,, playfield lighting at the Noel Booth community park, and development of neighborhood park spaces in Murrayville. It also contains funds for six additional police officers (two of which are shared with Langley city). Community policing offices are also proposed, with the first in the Brookswood area.

A further $50,000 has been set aside to investigate alternatives to improve municipal water quality in Aldergrove. "The budget concentrates on existing infrastructure and continues to support the planning required to carry us into the future," says Wilcock. "(It) also provides us with an opportunity to capitalize and solidify the investment we have made in our programs and services over the last two years." Council members Muriel Arnason, Steve Burton and Heather McMullan voted contrary to acceptance of the budget. Parks program gets millions MURRAYVILLE - A bylaw has been passed by the Greater Vancouver regional district authorizing the borrowing of SB- million for "acquisition and development" of regional parks. .Initiative has met with the approval of local politicians here in Murrayville. Celebrated insect caught LANGLEY - A lone gypsy moth larvae was found wandering down Latimer Road in Surrey, obviously headed for greener pastures in Langley. This is a serious matter, as the gypsy moth is an insect of quar- antine concern as far as Agriculture Canada is concerned. It was apprehended by a vigilant member of the department's food production and inspection branch. However, a spokesman for the department says there may be more out there and that Agriculture Canada plans to intensify trapping and continue monitoring the Surrey-Langley area during the coming year. Township Mayor John Scholtens says that many bad things have come to this community from neighboring Surrey, ana therefore he is not surprised. The gypsy moth is believed to originally have arrived on the lower mainland a few years ago, having disembarked from foreign ships in the Vancouver harbor. m t'mmm WALTER J.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 13. 1994 Councilors cut short public input MURRAYVILLE - A new policy has been introduced by municipal council here limiting the number of delegates and the time allotted each speaker at council meetings. . In order to streamline council meetings, the new Scholtens administration has decided to only allow five delegates at each public meeting, and each delegate will be allowed to address council for no longer than five minutes. There are mixed reactions to the new policy horn individual council members. Some say it is undemocratic, while others argue that it is indeed highly democratic in that it will preclude pressure groups and individuals from monopolize council time and maybe even preventing people of other opinions from being heard. Mayor John Scholtens says council will continue to be "the most accessible level of government" and that he is proud to head this body. And in any case, he says, councilors will still be able to override their own policy by allowing more speakers or more time on a discretionary basis. Citizens who want to make an appointment with their local representatives will also have to give prior notice to the municipal clerk including the subject matter of their presentation Fisheries policies being questioned Everybody has a story to tell, and Luena Ryber wants to help you release the writer within".

The Zodiac was one of many items stolen over Christmas holidays from RCMP ships moored at government docks on Annacis Island. Thieves also made off with RCMP issue 38 specials, .308 rifles and shotguns, all of which are marked as police property. ' missioners do the dirty work in turning down the applications. Coun. Heather McMullan agreed with colleague Muriel Arnason that the application submitted by Adolph and Margaret Stelter for the subdivision of their farm at 2906 - 232 Street should not be allowed. The two local politicians were unanimous in their evaluation of the 168-acre Stelter property as "a viable farm." The Stelters have asked permission to split it into seven properties. Only Arnason, however, voted against forwarding the applications to the commission in Burnaby without a council recommendation. Usually, councilors would let the commissioners know how they felt about a particular property before turning the matter over to the provincial body. MURRAYVILLE - Township councilors here Monday night decided to refer a letter horn the district of Maple Ridge for further study. Councilors agreed that they did not have enough information to comment on a resolution prepared by their colleagues north of the river and dealing with the federal government's aboriginal fisheries strategy. Municipal officials in Maple Ridge had sought Langley's en- dorsation of their proposal calling for a review of the federal policy and a demand that Ottawa "not relinquish any pan of its authority for the management and enforcement of the B.C salmon resource in order to ensure that the resource is protected for the future and that all individuals and communities which rely on the resource are not hampered. (Further) that the commercial and recreational components of the Fraser River salmon fishery not be endangered as a result of the strategy, and the enhancement of the fishery not be reduced." A letter from the Fraser River Estuary Management Program in New Westminster was also referred to staff for comment. A final draft of 'FREMP*s plan for 'A Living Working River* was included with the letter which also invited Langley township's comments and invited local politicians to attend an open house on January 20. Proponent bemoans referendum failure MURRAY VILLE Unfortunately, says. Coun. Steve Ferguson, telephone subscribers in the lower mainland opted for turning down a BC Tel proposal to extend tollfree calling to an area stret ch ing from Aldergrove - Maple Ridge in the east to Bowen Island to the west. Ferguson had campaigned for the proposal. Voters turned the project down "narrowly", says Ferguson, but it -. isn't over yet. He says he expects the proposal will be brought for- \ Ward again and eventually win public approval. There is no; ' word from BC Tel if they are prepared to try once more. Of the 130,000 ballots cast in last '/ear's referendum, 52 percent voted in favor of keeping the existing free calling area. A total of 318,000 telephone subscribers in 12 lower mainland municipalities had been asked to indicate their choice. - EXCLUSIVE TO GOSLING'S Quality at Special Prices BACKGUARD IN THIS CORNER STILL THE WIHHER "GOSLING'S FOR VALUE, SELECTION, QUALITY, SERVICE, FOR 72 YEARS Gvcntge , The horizontal treat that can't be beat!

JANUARY 13. 1994 O Canada, a paean to political incorrectness By SCOTT CROWSON PRINCE RUPERT - In their attempt to make minorities comfortable by denigrating majority values, the 'politically correct' have overlooked an obvious target. What about our national anthem, O Canada? This unabashed salute to nationalism contains jingoistic elements that immigrants to this country may find offensive. Obviously, if we're singing the praises of one country - Canada - it implies other nations are somehow inferior. Further, it implies immigrants come from inferior origins. There are other aspects of O Canada that may offend sectors of sociejty. There's the line, "in all thy sons command." This reaffirms the patriarch, the male dominance of most institutions. It's a line which surely annoys all feminists. Then, there's the repetition of the word free" throughout the song: "The True North strong and free"... "Glorious and free." To those who believe individual liberty threatens the collective good, the anthem stresses the painful truth that Canada is a democracy. another theme repeated again and again in the anthem is the idea of "standing on guard for thee." The militaristic implications are clear; the spectre of blind patriotism looms large. For ultra-pacifists who abhor violence no matter what the provocation, singing such words must be gut-wrenching. The idea of fighting to protect Canada from invaders must be repugnant. Lastly, there's that most offensive of all words, "God." Although not really spelled out in the anthem, it seems pretty clear the God in question is the Christian God, thus excluding members of other religions or about 10 percent of our population. Even if we suppose the anthem is referring to an inclusive God, one who accommodates all religions, including paganism, the reference would still offend atheists. It's hard to say whether agnostics would be upset - maybe yes, maybe no. Small-town taxpayers hit harder than their big city cousins § VANCOUVER - The property tax load on average homeowners is higher in small B.C. cities and resource communities than in Greater Vancouver and Victoria, according to a study released today by Realty World Canada. Using a typical 3-bedroom, 2- bathroom, 1300 square foot ranch-style bungalow as a measuring-stick, Realty World compared the property tax burden In 23 B.C communities. The company then developed a formula called the 'Tax Load Index" to measure the tax burden. The Tax Load Index is a house's market price divided by its annual property tax. The TLI is expressed as a percentage. For example, en a house with a market price of $200,000 and annual property taxes of $2,000, the Tax Load Index would be one percent RICHMOND HAS LIGHTEST TAX LOAD The lowest property tax load in B.C. is in Richmond, where the typical rancher-style home is worth $350,000 and the owner's annual property taxes are $1,700 (Tax Load Index: 0.47 percent). Second-lowest burden is East ^.ncouver, with a TLI of 0.53 percent Other Vancouver communities also fared well: North Vancouver has a TLI of 0.60 percent and West Vancouver has a TLI of 0.62 percent. The median TLI in British Columbia is Victoria, which has a TLI of 0.75 percent ($1,800 taxes on a house worth $200,000). NANAIMO HAS HEAVIEST TAX LOAD The province's most heavily- taxed community is Nanaimo, with a TLI of 1.2 percent It is followed by Duncan (1.15 percent) and Campbell River (1.07 percent). Communities in the Fraser "Valley are also in the upper range of the scale: Langley is 0.95 percent, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge are 0.92 percent, Mission is 0.91 percent, and Chilliwack is 0.94 percent Realty World president Harold. Waddell said, "If we needed it, this is more evidence that some Canadians are certainly over- taxed. Everyone is willing to pay for decent municipal services but the study suggests some municipal governments are better at controlling costs than others." He added: "The Tax Load Index gives taxpayers a basis for measuring how heavily they're taxed compared to people in ' other communities. Geography raises the cost of government services in some places. And sometimes local taxpayers decide they want certain facilities and are willing to pay extra for them. It's up to local taxpayers to evaluate aU this. What the Tax Load Index does is give people food for thought. White Rock's tax load is 60 percent of Nanaimo's. Are White Rock's parks, schools and roads ordy 60 percent as good? Richmond's tax load is 64 percent of Victoria's. Are Victoria's services that much better?" "If your community is well below the 0.75 percent median, perhaps property owners should send a letter of congratulations to their mayor and council for running things so efficiently. If their taxes are over the 0.75 percent level, maybe it's time to ask them for an explanation. The voters can decide whether the explanation makes sense or not." OJftA-OfcotS™ Charges against nude painter stayed NELSON - Freedom of artistic expression will not have its day in court in this small northern B.C. town after all. The prosecutor say*£he will not proceed with mischief charges against Tobi Jantzen, the artist who generated a wave of controversy by painting nudes on an abandoned downtown warehouse. Jantzen had earlier obtained permission from city hall to paint a large mural of Christopher Columbus landing in North America. He began work on the project last July. However, when he started to paint nude men 'with their private parts exposed, city officials began to receive complaints. Jantzen was arrested, taken into custody and charged with mischief. "After correspondence with the city, we've decided to stay pro- ceedings," said prosecutor Trevor Tozer, noting the city had painted over the mural early in December. Jantzen, meanwhile, has moved to the U.S. Politicians considered bottom of the heap OTTAWA - During the last election, pundits thought the public had a low opinion of their elected representatives. Now it's confirmed - politicians came dead last in the 'esteem sweeps' - a poll that ranks the public's regard for various professions. The poll, conducted by Angus Reid- Southam News, indicated that 60 percent of the people surveyed nave little respect for their elected representatives. Of that figure, about half said they have not mach respect, while:, the other half said they have very-little. Further, only four percent of Canadians said they have a great deal of respect for politicians, while 33 percent have a fair amount Esteem for politicians is lowest in British Columbia and Alberta, where the Reform party did well in the October 2$ federal election. ! Politicians won rankings of a 'fair amount' of respect from 26 percent of Albertans and 31 percent of British Columbians. Support for politicians was the highest in Atlantic Canada where 46 percent said they had a fair amount of respect for their elected representatives. Other professions fared as follows: * Doctors: Nine of 10 Canadians have at least some respect. Only one in 10 said they have Utile respect. * Police officers: 90 percent have a moderate amount of respect. * Teachers: 45 percent have a great deal of respect, while 44 percent have a fair amount. * Priests and ministers: 30 percent report a great deal of respect, but 21 percent have little regard. * Judges: Strong respect from 27 percent and a fair amount from 52 percent. * Journalists: 15 percent of Canadians have a great deal of respect, while 25 percent feel minimal respect or worse. * Lawyers: Only 11 percent of respondents hold members of the bar in highest regard, while 39 percent have minimal respect. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No sweat in B.C. Pension rollback call earns raves VANCOUVER - Reform party leader Preston Manning's call for a rollback on MPs' pensions has earned rave reviews from a taxpayers'-watchdog group. "I would say that Manning's comments describing the pension plan as the most objectionable of MPs' perks is bang on the money," said Troy Lanigan, spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Lanigan was responding to a letter Manning sent to Prime Minister Jean Chretien formally requesting changes to the pension scheme which would allow MPs to opt out of the plan and provide for their own pension needs. 'Such a rollback would give parliament more moral authority to ask Canadians to tighten their belts in the name of deficit re duction, Manning said in the letter. "I'm optimistic the pension scheme will get changed," Lanigan said. "There's a lot of pressure to bear on members of parliament and senators who area) leading by example." MPs are entitled to about two- thirds of their salaries after serving only six years in pari iament. They can collect it immediately upon retirement, with no minimum age restriction, or when they're defeated. . Lanigan called such benefits, which he said were wildly out of line with anything available in private industry, "fiscally and morally irresponsible." He said Canadians must guard against faint-hearted measures when it comes to rolling back the pension scheme.

I would also like to thank the volunteer firemen who paid for the refreshments, and McDonald's Restaurant for the orange juice. 123 people attended, poor show; hope to see all and more at the next Blood Donor's Clinic, Monday, March 28 at CFS Aldergrove 2:00 - 4:00 and 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. BETTY SPENCER Blood Donor Clinic were not going to stay there and starve. They took his lousy cheque and came to B.C. where union workers pay taxes so Harcourt can feed Albertans til' they go back to non-union farms, to come back next year. What Hannaford means by redundant Albertan oil workers is any one's guess. He makes every effort to convince readers that no Albertan would come to B.C just to enjoy three meals a day (if so what is ali the fuss?). He goes on to say and I quote, "It just turns Canadians against Canadians. Still, maybe it will also turn British Columbians against the NDP." When Albertans go back they may smarten up and do something about sweatshops in Alberta.

Regulations have hunters ready to pack it in FORT StJOHN - Faced with in- "It's too bad, because the next creasing restrictions on gun Ownership, many northern B.C. hunters are ready to throw in the towel, a local gun dub says. Fred Schmidt, president of the North Peace Rod and Gun club, says federal gun control laws have steadily become more restrictive since the 1989 massacre of 14 women at L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. He says the government's attempt to ease public fears in the wake of the killings is creating an environment in which responsible gun ownership is made virtually impossible. "It's a little bit scary now. You can see something being eroded away that's pan of our heritage," Schmidt says. "A lot of hunters now are to the point of saying ft's inevitable that in a few years time we're not going to be able to hunt anyway. They're kind of throwing up their hands and giving up." He says the next few years will tell the tale on the future of hunt'' ing and gun ownership in Canada. Schmidt says the institution of restrictions and regulations on gun ownership have gone virtually unchallenged. few years is when most of the major decisions are going to be made that affect our sport and our rights. If we don't.tight right now and keep on it, we're going to be in serious trouble five years down the road."'.He adds that "pretty soon, nobody can make heads or tails of (the regulations) and almost anyone who owns a gun would probably be breaking the law." He says feminists and other special interest groups have secured the ear of government and the media in a campaign to ban all firearms. More people are killed by drunk drivers in one year in a small city such as Fort St. John, he says, than are shot or murdered by firearms, in the entire country. - "It's time to get that, into perspective," he says. - But while the influences of anti-gun forces grows, he says, hunters and other responsible gun owners remain relatively silent. t)-4r<k "Canadians dont fight. They sit back and they take it and they take it. We do a lot of squawking, but we don't do a lot of fighting" More input wanted here By MAUDIE MacPHERSON First week of the new year gone. i Mr. Chretien is off to see the Queen, earthquake rumors are floating around again, and we here in Aldergrove are just rusting away with all the rain we're having. The general meeting of the OAP Friday was fairly well attended but with all the new seniors moving in we should have lots more. The new executive was sworn in by Mary Mansell, the regional steward. She spoke on the danger of pensions and medicare being cut by the federal government. A petition is being circulated to send a delegation to Ottawa to protest.. As I've said so many other times the O.A.P.O. is a means of maintaining some clout for senior citizens. Other social clubs are fine for the purpose of enjoying cards, bowling etc., but seniors should join the OAP organization in order to have some say in what is affecting them. One of our members who was made a life member some years ago passed away, Mrs. Voight. I'm sure many will remember her. In recent years she has been a resident at Langley Lodge. Each time the Choral Group sang there Mrs. Voight was in the front row looking very proud of us. She was a true Aldergrovian. A pot luck supper will be held on Jan 23 in the OAP hall at 5:30 p.m. Bring your cutlery and dishes plus an appetizing dish of some sort There was a good crowd out to carpet bowling Thursday. A couple of new players joined us. We're hoping others will come to the hall Thursday pjn at 1:30 to see how the game is played and perhaps they'll become interested. I've been asked to remind every one of the Whist Party at Patricia on Friday Jan 14 at 7:30 p.m. It's always a nice relaxing evening. There's good coffee and drinks, cookies and prizes. What more could you ask? - Do you want to have a good laugh? Go and see "Mrs. Doubtfire" at the Odeon Cinema at Clearbrook next to Uncle Willy's. Dances this week have been good. Music this week for both dances was provided by the Happy Gang. About sixty-two attend ed the Wednesday night dance. 50-50 went to Helen Souther and Dick Singbeil. Spot dance was won by Cuff Souther and partner. Saturday dance was a perfect crowd of 85. 50-50 went to Emma Sanders, Millie Bennett and Dorothy Bright. Door prizes were won by Eleanor Anderson and Cecelia Pain. Spot dances went to Rose Styles and Key Anderson and The I ma and Henry Hildebrand. The 47th wedding anniversary of Roger and Helen Dion was celebrated. George, don't know his last name, acted as M.C. for the Saturday dance.

JANUARY 13. 1994 Thunderbirds win first game of the new year ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Thunderbirds played their first game of the new year, Jan. 8, at Coquitlam's Eagle Ridge Park. With an 11:30 start on a rain soaked field the Thunderbirds took on the Eagle Ridge Spurs. With the ball going dead in each puddle the first half was uneventful for both teams. Ten minutes into the second half a nice cross from Thunderbirds Jeremy Findlay enabled Ross Dickinson to put it into the net for a 1-0 lead. Final goal of the game came when Josh Medjuck took the ball all the way up the wing to the 18, passing it over to an awaiting Jeremy Findlay who in turn nicely set it up for Ross Dickinson to pop it in for a 2-0 win over Eagle Ridge Spurs. Thunderbirds head coach Jay Dickinson praised his drenched young men for their total commitment and team spirit. Novice Bruins scuttle Pirates ALDERGROVE - The Dawson Brill Bruins came out strong, building up a 5-0 lead after two periods and defeated the Discovery Pirates 7-3, Sunday afternoon in Aldergrove. Strong checking and good positional play is becoming a Bruins' trademark. Kyle Barry was outstanding in goal for the Bruins making many good saves. Captain Jeff Toth was a "juggernaut" for the Bruins scoring 5 goals including a "natural hat- trick" and adding two assists. Todd Hagen played a great game scoring two goals and adding four assists. Ryan Veitch, George Ubelhardt, Eric McGovern and Teddy Vickers all recorded assists in the Bruins scoring. Joshua Marr and Kevin Carlson played well defensively for the Bruins. Next game for the Bruins is Jan. 15 at 2:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and cheer and have fun. Hewitt & Co. Redhawks faced Semiahmoo during half time at the Canucks/Mighty Ducks game in the Coliseum last November. The novice boys have developed good skills this season. Redhawks even Semiahmoo at Coliseum By ELIZABETH COOPER ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Hewitt & Co. Redhawks have had an exciting and eventful first half to their novice season. On Nov. 19, the team hit the "big ice" to play in between periods at the Pacific Coliseum, during the Vancouver Canucks- Mighty Ducks game. The Redhawks played a tense eight minutes against Semiahmoo of White Rock, and our goalie Will Parley saw lots of action. Redhawks' goal came as a result of action by Billy Solomon and Michael Kittirath. The match ended in a draw and was greeted by a loud cheer from the NHL crowd. As well as regular season action at their home rink in Aldergrove, Hewitt & Co. Redhawks played in the Christmas Matsqui Novice Jamboree in Clearbrook. The boys played against teams from Abbotsford and North Delta, and showed great team spirit. The Redhawks have come a long way since the start of the season in September and are all looking forward to the second half. Well done, Redhawks! Bruins bump, grind with Colts ALDERGROVE - Hide the women and children! Cloverdale - Colts are coming to town! Tuesday, January 4, Allied Windows Bantam 'B' Bruins* took on the Cloverdale Colts in Aldergrove at the arena. T.O. Leakey stopped 22 shots between the pipes. Colts goalie stopped 15. Goals were scored by Tanner Rattray, assisted by Kris Lindquist and Lance Perkins, Ken Pickering from Rattray and Matt Holmes, Jason Ballantyne from Rattray and Scott Seiffert, Jason Leggat by Rattray and Nick Seguin, and finally Greg Maggio from Holmes and Derek Ottoson, for a final score of 5-1 for the Bruins. These statistics could be slightly inaccurate, due to the timekeeper and scorekeeper being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of paperwork. 72 minutes in penalties were the reason! 28 minutes for 'Grove and 44 minutes for Cloverdale. Standing room only in "the box". Understandably, officials were also a little breathless. If you really want to see action - come to our Valentine's Dance at the Elk's-Jlall, Saturday, Feb. 12.

Bruins chalk up 4 games in 5 days ALDERGROVE - The Valley Gravel Sales Atom 'A' Bruins just completed a very busy week on Sunday playing four games in five days. Game one took place on home ice versus Semiahmoo. Matt Roberts scored Aldergrove's first goal at 11:41 of the second. Assist to Steven Schulz. Semi took over the game for the rest of the period scoring four goals to take a 6-1 lead into the third period. The Bruins came alive in the third period holding Semi off the score sheet and scoring three goals of their own. The first goal came at 9:05 with Matt Keith scoring unassisted. Less than a minute later Mike Roberts put in Bruins goal number three. Assists to Mike Haber and Steven. At 2:37 Spencer Cording blasted the puck into the Semi net from the point. Matt R. and David Mamchur assisting on the goal. Try as they might the Bruins were not able to score any more goals and came up just short of Semiahmoo. Final score of the game Aldergrove 4, Semiahmoo 6. Friday, Jan. 7 found the Bruins in Surrey to play their A-l team. This game was a fiasco from start to finish. Not only did the Bruins lose the game 10 to 0 but the offi- ciating was a joke as Surrey roughed up the Bruins both on and off the ice with impunity. Aldergrove is the least penalized team in Tier 1 but in Surrey they managed to have at least one boy in the penalty box for half of the game most of the time for reasons unknown. There seems to be a trend toward poor officiating at the Atom level these days and I'm wondering how long it will be before those in charge will wake up and realize that the hockey played in Tier 1 Atom is just as intense as the hockey played at the higher levels and needs the officiating to go along with it. Hopefully it will be before someone gets seriously hurt. On Saturday Jan. 8 the Bruins headed over the Coquihalla to Kamloops for a couple of exhibition games there. The Bruins got off to a slow start in the first game partly due to the trip up but by the second period were starting to come around. Marc Windle started the Bruins scoring early in the second with a beautiful breakaway goal. Bruins goal number two came with just 24 seconds left in the period courtesy of Malt K. and Matt R. on the powerplay. Eady in the third the Bruins struck again on a nice passing play between Matt R.

Unfortunately that was all the goals the Bruins were able to get and the final score was Kamloops 7, Aldergrove 4. Sunday morning after some rest and relaxation the previous night the Bruins were up early for game number two. Aldergrove scored early in this game as Mike R. scored with just 34 seconds ticked off the clock. Assist to Steven. Less than a minute later Darcy put the Bruins up by two, assist to Mike H. The Bruins relaxed a little and Kamloops was able to tie the score but at the 3:24 mark Mike H. notched goal number three, assisted by Mike R. and Simon Whitlock. At 1:17 Kamloops again tied the game only to have Mike H. put the Bruins in lead once again with just 35 seconds left in the game. In the second period Kamloops managed to get two quick goals to take the lead for the only time in the game. At 11:05 Matt R. tied the game, assist to Josh Macknee. Simon with help from Matt R. and Matt K. knocked in goal number six on the power play. At 3:47 Matt R. got his second goal of game unassisted. Less than a minute later Mike R. and Marc scored on the power play for goal eight. Mike R scored at 19:24 of third period on a breakaway play. Kamloops kept pressing and managed to tie the score with two quick goals in the last 45 seconds of game with their net empty and playing with six attackers. Final score Aldergrove 9, Kamloops 9. These two games were a pleasure to watch as both teams concentrated on the game and forgot all the dirty play that the Bruins have been subjected to lately. The officiating was also a pleasure as both games were reffed totally unbiased. The Bruins are looking forward to going back up in February for a re-match. The Bruins next game is at home Wednesday, Jan. 12 versus Langley. Career expert speaks at Poppy LANGLEY - Dave Street explains the job market with doughnuts.

Tom Martin remains off for another week with a broken collar bone. The Bruins, now trying to fill another gap left as Tyler Perkins moves up to the Pee Wee A's, welcomes Paul Bryant to the team. It is not certain at this point whether Paul will play forward or defence as the coach has been shuffling his lines to cover for injured, sick and lost players. - Despite these setbacks the Pee Wee Bruins manage to come up with a win in their first league game of 1994. Last Thursday the^ Bruins played host to New Westminster Royals in yet another penalty riddled game. The Royals were first on the board with a goal at 6:28 of the first, and another at 9:48 of the second period. Then at 6:11 of the second, Scott Robinson, skating along the boards, carries the puck in to the Royals end and takes his shot from the high slot to score for the Bruins, assist to Ben Eldridge. The Royals get their third goal at 12:24 of the third period and as the time runs down and the penalties mount up it begins to look as though the Bruins may not get their act together sufficiently to stage a comeback. The break comes at 3:54 as Scott at the boards kicks the puck back to Paul Daley, Paul skates around two Royals players and backhands the puck to the top corner. At 1:50 it's Paul D. again as he tips in a shot by Greg McWilliams, second assist to Paul Bryant. With the game now tied at three apiece the action is Cast and furious with both teams pushing for the tie-breaker. The horn blows as a split second goal by TK Lafdman puts the Bruins ahead. In a nice passing play Dustin Goodman gets the puck to Scott - Scott to TK, and TK's shot goes in under the arm of the New West goalie to end the game 4-3 in favor of the Hourglass Bruins. Sunday night finds the Pee Wee B Bruins Cor at least some of them - as one member of the team gets lost and never finds the arena, another is ill, and a third is still off with an injury) at the Kensington Arena to take on the Burnaby Minor B2 Thunders. Burnaby starts the scoring off at 11:24 of the first and Jason Philps, again skating out of goal to fill- in for missing team mates, sinks the puck to score for the Bruins as the horn sounds to end the period, assists to Paul Bryant and Delayne Dupuis. Paul Daley opens the second period with a goal at 14:10 as Dustin passes the puck up from behind the net to Scott, Scott fans on the shot and Paul is there to put it away. At 8:17 TK Laidman, in position in front of the net to receive a pass from Greg McWilliams, finds the hole. It's TK again at 6:31 as Dustin Goodman passes up from behind the net, this time to Delayne - Delayne over to TK and TK shoots it in for a powerplay goal. Aldergrove's lead is shortened to one as Burnaby gets two back- to-back goals at 1:21 and 0:54 to end the second period. Burnaby Thunders get the tying goal at 11:18 of the third, but the Bruins are quick to respond as they reclaim their lead at 9:12. Nathan Gole's shot on goal is blocked, Delayne takes the rebound to Paul D. and Paul backhands the puck to the top shelf. Up to this point the two teams have played a relatively clean game, but with the score so close the pressure is on and the play gets rough. Penalties handed out once again prove the undoing for the Bruins as they hand the game over to Burnaby. The Thunders on a double powerplay score at 1:57, then still with a one man advantage move ahead at 1:13. Aldergrove pulls their goalie in an attempt to salvage at least a tie but such is not to be. Although they keep the pressure on, retaining control of the play in the Burnaby end for the entire last minute the break doesn't come and the game ends as a 5-6 loss. The Hourglass Pee Wee B Bruins have a busy week ahead with scheduled league games: Wednesday, Jan 12 - Hastings B at the Agridome; Thursday, Jan. 13 - Ridge Meadows in Aldergrove; Thursday, Jan. 20 - Poco B2 in Aldergrove.

JANUARY 13. 1994 PC Peewees lose in semi-finals Hewitt "B" Bruins just never say die ALDERGROVE - The Hewitt & Company Bruins "B" hockey team ended 1993 in a tournament which was held in Langley. The tournament was a tier two tournament and our boys are tier three so needless to say the competition ws very high and very good. Th<e Bruins lost their first game to a Surrey team by a score of 5 to 3 but they played a very good game and were in it all the way. The Surrey team ended up winning first place in the whole tournament where our boys won runner up in the D section. We were very pleased with the showing that they made in the tournament. The 1994 Hockey season started on Jan. 8 with Aldergrove hosting a game against North Delta. The game got off to a quick start with Delta getting the first three goals. The game was very much an end to end type of game with Delta coming up with more lucky puck bounces than what the Bruins got. The Bruins scored twice while the Delta team was able to get seven. The one thing about this game was that both teams played close to the same type of game but it was one of those lucky bounce type of games. South Delta got those bounces. Danny Thomson and Jamie MacKay scored the goals and Jason McGovern and Darryl MacDonald assisted. Sunday Jan. 9 the Bruins went to Abbotsford to play the Abbotsford Hawks. The game got off to a very fast start with the play going from one end to the other. This was really good hockey and the fans on both sides were getting into the game with their cheers as well as some groans. There was no score until the Hawks were finally able to get the puck past Jon Remple in the Bruins net at the four minute mark of the first period. The period ended that way and the start of the second saw Abbotsford get a strange goal in a goal mouth scramble. This put the team down by two but the play carried on at the fast pace which had been set at the beginning of the game. With two and a half minutes left in the second period Abbotsford got their third goal, it looked like the Bruins were in a scoreless game. Then with the Bruins short handed Danny Thomson stole the puck from Abbotsford's power play team and walked in and beat their goalie.with a nice shot. The second period ended with our boys down by two but by no means out of the game. Again the pace picked up in the start of the third and Jon Remple had to make some great saves to keep the Bruins dose. With eight minutes left Mark Cassibo was able to get the puck past the Abbotsford goalie to cut the lead to one. Ricky Morrison and Russell McKinlay assisted on the play. This goal brought a renewed life to the team as well as the cheering section. A minute and a half later Eric Strandt FIRST AID TIPS! SHOCK (Lowered Blood Pressure) - Many injured victims experience shock, sometimes immediately, sometimes hours after an accident SHOCK CAN CAUSE DEATH Always care for shock: W warmth A air R rest Count FIRST AID / C.P.R. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES scored from the point to tie the game at three. Jamie MacKay and Danny Thomson got the assists on this goal. This goal put new excitement in the game for both (and more so for the fans!). With just three minutes left in the game, Jason McGovern gave a lead pass to Danny Thomson who took the puck along with two Abbotsford defencemen and scored the go ahead goal. This really put the pressure on the fans, I mean the team! The next three minutes went by very slowly. It seemed that the play was always in Aldergrove's end. With over a minute left the Hawks pulled their goalie in favor of the sixth attacker. The tension was very high as there were several face offs in the Bruins end. With some very determined play from the whole team the Bruins overcame a three goal lead to win the game 4 to 3- The boys showed again that they do not give up no matter what the score is. A good team effort! Jamboree coming ALDERGROVE - The local Minor Hockey Association, together with its provincial counterpart's hockey development announce that for three days, March, 4, 5, 6, they will be hosting a Dairyland Sportsmanship Pee Wee Jamboree.

Faldo chalks up another CLOVERDALE - It's now five and counting as Faldo Hanover continued his local winning streak by defeating seven others in the $30,100 Attorney General Classic Saturday at Cloverdale Raceway. The streak looked like it might be in jeopardy as Faldo Hanover and leading driver Bill Davis drew an unfavourable post in the mile pace for four year olds. Despite the outside post Davis was-aide to make the early lead without much trouble ana have lots left in the stretch drive to hold off the late challenge of Alberta invader Draft Day. Another Alberta based horse Armbro Larson finished third. Time for the mile was a respectable 2:01.3 over the sloppy track. As the betting choice Faldo Hanover returned $3.10 to win.

JANUARY 13. 1994 11 AT THE MOVIES Ms. Doubtfire a non-stop comedy hit By NAOMI TALARICO CLEARBROOK - Robin Williams, and Sally Field star in the non-stop humor film, "Mrs. Doubtfire". They say the male species can't imitate the female; well look again. Here Daniel (Robin Williams) goes to the extreme to see his children after his and Miranda's (Sally Field) divorce. The characters Miranda and Daniel come out in full swing when they decide to get a divorce. Daniel says, "We'll move, maybe our problems won't follow us." But no matter what Daniel says, Miranda still wants that divorce. An act is an act. Sad in some places, and happy in others. Chris Columbus, the director of this film, encouraged the emotions to the better; he added each little tear jerker in to make the movie not too serious and not too humorous. Just the right bit of each to make the movie a three star. This film is rated mature. Shake January blahs with an African treat MATSQUI - The Mission Folk Music Festival has the cure for your January blahs. Seattle's Anzanga Marimba comes to' town on January 29 to perform their vibrant and infectious music. The show begins at 8 p.m. at the Matsqui Community Hall in Matsqui Village. Matsqui Community Hall has a sprung dance floor, which is expected to get some use at this event. Anzanga is no stranger to Mission, having performed most recendy at the festival last July to a huge throng of dancing Missionites and other assorted festival-goers. Anzanga, which means "to our friends," draws its name and its music from the rich cultural heritage of Africa. They play traditional and contemporary marimba music plus original compositions in the African mode created and arranged by group director Sheree Sparks-Seretse. The ensemble has been performing since 1986. Whoopi makes sequel worthy By LARA BRODIE Sister Act. was, of course, a great movie. Who can resist comedy, intrigue, suspense and Whoopi as well?

Not that there is anything new about a new teacher coming into an undisciplined class and conjuring up respect from the students, but Whoopi has a way of growing on you and since Whoopi & the movie, the movie grows on you too. No, there is no suspense, Deloris Van Cartier (.Goldberg) is no longer running from guys with guns, she's now a big Las Vegas headliner, living in some fancy digs and dragging along an annoying manager. No, there is no danger this time, but there are some nuns, the same nuns in fact, played by Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena and Mary Wickes. They're now high school teachers at St. Francis and they're having some problems with the students. Whoopi to the rescue? Of course. After a little arm twisting and guilt tripping, Deloris agrees to don the habit once again in order to go undercover as a music teacher. There's more to the story than that, like, mother trouble, bonding students, reaching for a goal and working hard and musical numbers that just make you feel good. Produced by that wonder woman Dawn Steel (did your read her book) and Scott Rudin, directed by Bill Duke and also starring Maggie Smith, an appearance by Sheryl Lee Ralph and closing song by Aretha Franklin, this movie can definitely make you smile. Make sure to sit through the closing credits, they're an awful lot of fun, too.

The keys, made from vermillion, mahogany and teak, are fine-tuned to reflect the tones played in African societies. Each key has a resonator which amplifies the sound, giving a unique effect to the music - from the clear, bell-like tones of the soprano marimba to the deep percussive tones of the bass. This ensemble of instruments is delightful for listening, but wonderful for dancing! The music has a universal quality suitable for all ages and backgrounds. Wherever Anzanga has played, audiences have been lifted to their feet to join in the dance that celebrates life - a dance as old as ' humanity itself. Through their joyful rhythms, it is Anzanga's goal to entertain, enlighten and inspire all who hear them. Anzanga is one of only a handful of groups on this continent to play the vibrant marimba music of Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Azania and Gambia. If there is enough interest, Anzanga will hold an African dance and drum workshop on the afternoon of Jan. 29. The workshop will last about three hours, and a fee will be charged for each participant. Those interested in taking part can phone the Mission Folk Music Festival office at 826-5937 for more information. Tickets for the concert/dance are $10 advance and $12 at the door. They can be purchased at the Mission Pharmasave, Abbotsford Pharmasave, or the Miaaiky. Music Society office. Call 826-5937 fee.information.

Trouble in Loveland: Larry Hamm as Romeo and Tina Molnar as Juliet in "Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). -Rick Mawson photo. Outrageous new comedy takes off where the Bard left off CHILLIWACK - The second production of the UCFV Theatre Department's season of comedy is Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet), the outrageously funny award winning play by Canadian playwright Arm-Marie MacDonald. Shakespeare will never seem quite the same again once local audiences have experienced this irreverent second look at some of the Bard's most tragic figures, which also takes a gentle poke at the cloistered, politicized world of Canadian academia. Nothing and no one is sacred in this entertaining spoof from one of Canada's most talented young writers. Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is directed by senior theatre student Lee Purvis. Lee has appeared in several department productions and was assistant director for the department's hit production of Tbe Road To Mecca. Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) has a cast of five performers, four of whom play multiple roles. The leading role of Constance Ledbelly, an assistant professor at Queen's University, is played -by UCFV first year acting instructor Lynne Wells. Lynne has appeared in major roles in many department productions, her most recent role being Lisette in the black comedy Les Belles Soeurs. The role of her devious boss professor Claude Night is played by Abbotsford performer, Bruce Edwards, who was last seen as Benedick in Much Ado ; About Nothing. Bruce will also take on the roles of Othello, Tybalt and a nurse. The host of other- characters that accompany Constance Ledbelly on her riotous,:, alchemical voyage of self discovery are played by three second year theatre students: Larry Hamm plays Romeo, Iago, a ghost and the chorus; Tina Molnar is Juliet, a student and a soldier; while Jeanette Plant appears as Desdemona, Ramona, Mercutio and a servant. Set and lighting design for this production is by Jim Wenting, with cos- tume design by Heather Robertson; costume construction is supervised by Yvonne KrehbieL Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) opens Friday, Jan. 21 at 8 pjn. in the Studio Theatre on the Chilliwack campus, with special two for one preview performances Jan. 19 and 20, and ' continues Jan. 22," 26 to 29 and Feb. 2 to 5, with a matinee performance Friday, Jan. 28 at 12:30 pjn.

Guiliani, Trio in G major, Op. 119 (piano, flute, AJ. Croce proves a hit By KURT LANGMANN Boy, oh boy, did we ever get a lot of readers coming in for the free A.J. Croce music sampler. The Star got several cases of the samplers for free distribution, and there are still a handful left for those who come into the office and ask for AJ. The promotion, courtesy of 0005*8 label, Private/BMG Music and Trak Media of Vancouver, is a unique introduction to the San Diego based jazz-rhythm and blues singer and pianist. While the music is appealing to a wide range of tastes, the record company has found it difficult to get Croce on local radio playlists because of the tight formats used by radio station management. It's not classic rock, dance, country, etc., so the record company is using this streetlevel promotion to get the word out. Along with the free sampler of three songs, the public is invited to enter a contest that offers a dozen free compact discs from BMG's large international catalogue: the winner can choose selections from classical (on the RCA label), pop (Elvis to the Cowboy Junkies), country (Brooks & Dunn) and much more. The winner will also get an autographed and mounted AJ. Croce poster and a chance to meet him backstage when he performs in Vancouver this spring.; . Trak Media said that if a Star reader wins, they will have Croce perform for a private party for The Star, provided that Croce's tour scheduling permits. If The Star is so fortunate, we'll go all- out to make it a great event! The free samplers are available at a number of Vancouver venues and Trak Media will let us know who the winners are next month. The Star hopes you enjoy the taste of A.J. — do let us know what you think of k. If you really like it be sure to pick up a copy of the 12-song A.J. Croce CD or cassette from A&B Sound.

LEGION NEWS New branch officers installed By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Sometime ago a fellow met me and said "Everytime I see you I think of the Thrift Shop. Was that a compliment or not?" Anyway there's nothing wrong with being affiliated with the Aldergrove Thrift Shop. They are doing great work. We are proud of our sales for the month of December and have made some generous donations; $500 to Wagner Farms, $500 to the Mother's March and $500 to Stepping Stones and $250 to the Firefighters. All our workers are to be congratulated on how smoothly things are run Our biggest problem is the need for more help. Anyone who can spare a few hours every week should contact Mary Sanderson or stop in at the shop and give your name and when you would prefer to help. Clean clothes are a must. It is discouraging for volunteers to open a bag and find it more suit- able for the dump. Please select clothes you feel can be sold and send them to us clean Our hardware section is an interesting place and you just never know what you might find there. Thanks to the people who help in other ways such as bringing plants and vegetables, bulbs and even plastic bags for packing purchases. Oftentimes our workers are so busy they hardly have time to acknowledge goods coming in; but we do appreciate your donations. Thanks again and Happy New Year to everyone.

The month of December showed a decrease of 8% in the number of real estate sales recorded by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board over the previous month. The year-to-date sales were recorded at 16,280, down 21% over the year-to-date figure for December, 1992. In December, a total of 1,598 new listings were placed on the MLS system. This is an increase of 2% over December, 1992's figure of l,56l but a decrease of 31% over November, 1993's figure of 2,318. Average residential prices increased by .3% in Surrey, .2% in North Delta and 4% in Abbotsford/Matsqui and de- creased by 1.5% in WhiteRock/Surrey, 3% in Langley and 7% in Mission, "These figures, although reflective of the season, show a healthy trend in that prices are relatively stable. This bodes well for a solid market in early 1994 and into the spring," said Fraser Valley Real Estate Board president Stuart Kirkpatrick. "Buyers and sellers should feel comfortable that this moderation in activity will provide them an atmosphere where they can feel prices are under no pressure to rise or fall substantially. 'Affordabiiity' remains the key word for 1994." Strong finish for housing starts VANCOUVER - Housing starts in B.C. finished the year at a very strong pace according to Canac'a Mortgage and Housing Corporation. This was a continuation of a resurgence in construction which began last July. Housing starts in December were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 45,400 units, which was the highest rate in over three years. Apartment and townhouse starts were very strong while single family starts remained subdued. "Housing construction is re sponding to higher prices and strong demand," said Helmut Pastrick, senior advisor of market analysis for CMHC B.C. - Yukon Region. "The demand outlook is good since the economy is improving, mortgage rates will likely decline, and in-migration stays at a high level," he added. Nationally, housing starts rose for the fourth straight month to the highest rate this year at 172,100 units saar. Ontario starts fell back to 47,500 units saar in December but other regions saw gains. Starts stayed low in Quebec. Liberals nomination, Tuesday MATSQUI - The Matsqui Riding Association of the B.C.

"It re-establishes integrity overall. The current government has presided over the largest two successive deficits in the history of the province, increased taxation by over $1.5-billion in the last two budgets. We have a government that's taking us in the wrong direction. We have to reestablish free enterprise, individual initiative and choice," said Campbell. ' "If we do not have balanced budget legislation in the first sitting (of a Liberal government) I'll resign. The transition to a balanced budget can be made in three years, and from that point on there's an obligation to balance the budget." Campbell said he is "committed to the elimination of the province's corporate capital tax; that taxes investment and job creation, makes no sense and hurts investors, but the NDP is unwilling to admit'they made a mistake and to repeal it. They (the NDP) could do it in their next budget and I encourage it." Campbell said another important commitment he has is to provincial bargaining for education. "I think previous Social Credit legislation was not well- informed and led to some of the problems we're facing today. We have to recognize that education is a provincial responsibility; it's a bit of a myth that school boards are in control of budgets. School boards are in a very difficult, untenable position today. It's a major area of reform, and we need new solutions to rationalize the system." Campbell said that his successor at Vancouver city hall, mayor Philip Owen faces similar challenges he faced every year when he was mayor. "What Mr. Owen is facing is not unusual. I can tell you there are three stories about city budgets: in December we're told by staff, 'Gee it's gonna be a tough year, in January and February all requests from staff come in reports and it adds up to substantially more than we can afford, council gives staff directions to work on it, then in May budget is passed. We always get headlines that say costs are up, but never headlines to say that tax rates drop precipitously, because when assessments go way up tax rates go down. "City council faces difficult choices and it's tougher this year: One of five city tax dollars is spent on policing, and because of a police settlement that was not negotiated — Mr. Sihota showed his inability as Minister of Labour through the entire exercise — it's gonna be a very expensive settlement for the people of Vancouver and it has nothing to do with city council. "We have had two successive Wagar nominated by Matsqui New Democrats MATSQUI - At a Jan 6 meeting attended by approximately thirty people at the Matsqui Recreation Centre, the Matsqui New Democrats acclaimed Samuel Wager as' their candidate in the upcoming by-election The meeting was addressed by Dave Zirnhelt, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. There was a great deal of concern by members of the audience about the loss of supply management boards in agriculture under the GATT (General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs) and also the continuing pressure for development of agricultural lands now protected by the Agricultural Land Reserve. Zirnhelt said the options of the provincial government are severely limited by federal jurisdiction over international trade. Zirnhelt talked about the formation of producers' co-operatives in various agricultural sectors and provincial government assistance in marketing and in research and development of higher quality products, as well as encouraging the development of specialized agricultural niches, as options that the government wilt be encouraging. He also reaffirmed the government's commitment to strengthening the ALR. VCbger talked about the importance in general of maintaining land-based ways of life such as farming, forestry, fishing. He spoke strongly about the need to not take urban preconceptions into the farmers' fields. Wager talked about the New Democratic Party as the party of compassion, as the parliamentary voice of the movements for social justice. He praised the government for ks economic performance over the past two years - British Columbia's deficit has been cut by 35% without a loss of services to people, provincial bonds are rated AA+, and economic performance in general is the best in Canada. He also praised government initiative and concern around women and family issues - increased funding to transition houses, increasing child care funding.

McCarthy opens office here Saturday morning MATSQUI - Grace McCarthy's campaign office officially opens here, Saturday, Jan 15 at 9:30 a.m. The Social Credit leader's office is at #5 - 32330 South Fraser Way, on the main floor of the new Town Centre Tower, across from Matsqui Municipal Hall. The date for the by-election could be called within days, and allow for a 28 day campaign, but McCarthy's organization has been in high gear since her November 30 nomination as Matsqui Socred candidate.

"Specific platform will be outlined when the election is called," said Campbell. "The specificity will give citizens the opportunity to make choices." Meanwhile the by-election heats up, and Campbell said he is comfortable with either of the two men seeking nomination. "I'll leave the choice to the constituency," he said when asked his preference. "They're both excellent men, but the people in Matsqui will decide, not Gordon Campbell."

Welfare fraud 'significant' :L VANCOUVER - Liberal MLA Jeremy Dalton believes that welfare fraud in B.C. could run as high as 20 percent and cost taxpayers between $250-mil!ion and $400-million annually. Dalton wants his suspicions confirmed and has requested documents from the NDP government that may shed light on the problem about which, he says, the government has done little. The documents Dalton is seeking were pan of a 'value for services' audit of the social services ministry carried out by accountants Peat Marwick Thorne in 1991- These working papers* were not Included in the full report,* said Dalton. "I understand from people I have spoken to in the Vancouver and victoria offices of Peat Marwick Thorne that the papers contain very interesting information* Dalton believes the documents, which he is trying to secure through freedom-of-ihfor- mation legislation, will confirm that 20 percent of welfare payouts are fraudulent. "(Social services minister) Joy MacPhail is not part of the solution, she's part of the problem," Dalton said. . . •'••• • •' " ■ ■■■ ■ ■ ■ ■ t\^'^^m^^Mmf^y^4^^ go, ■ YOUR VOICE THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

Legal services seeks local input Hans Urff: I feel so comfortable here that I dont need any changes. VANCOUVER - The Legal Services Society of British Columbia has scheduled open forums in the Lower Mainland beginning in Vancouver on January 20, and in other Lower Mainland communities through March 10. The forums are planned to receive community input on ways to improve legal services. The Legal Services Society has identified the Lower Mainland for increased legal aid services. Paulah Dauns, project manager with Legal Services Society, wants the people of the Lower Mainland to hear about the strengths of the current system Good old days rated 'not so hot' By LAURA MUHA You know that image of senior citizens pining for the good ol' days? Well, you can forget about it A new study of seniors says that far from being a depressing time, old age has turned out to be one of the most satisfying periods of their lives.' ' And when respondents were asked which years were the least satisfying, those mentioned most were adolescence and the 30s. i *tt really shatters the old stereo- types," says Dorothy Field, a gerontologist and developmental psychologist at the University of Georgia. "We tend to think of old age as a time where everybody is lonely and in poor health and unhappy - but that's just not true." ' field's conclusions are based on two sets of extensive interviews with a group of 74 people - the surviving members of a group in Berkeley, California, who have been the subject of a series of surveys by different researchers on a variety of subjects and who are considered representative of the U.S. population In her study, Field analyzes data from two sets of. interviews with the subjects: in 1968-69, when they were between ages 59 and 80 (characterized as 'young- old'), and again 14 years later, when they were between 73 and 93 (the old-old*). In each instance, they 'were asked which was the most satisfying period of their lives and which was the least satisfying. In most cases, Field says, participants did not grow more nostalgic for their youth over time. Among the findings in the ear- ' lier interview, when the• participants were between 59 and 80: * Nineteen percent of subjects identified their 50s as the most satisfying period of their lives. * almost as many - 18 percent - named their 60s and 70s as most satisfactory. * At the same time, almost 20 percent named their teen years as least satisfactory, and 18 percent named thek 30s as least satisfactory. Only six percent named thek 60s and 70s as least satisfactory. By the second interview, she says, the responses had changed in only one respect: While adolescence and the 30s were still seen as the most negative time by more than a thkd, a higher proportion also viewed the 30s as the best time - possibly because of the satisfaction they got from thek growing families, Field says. In addition, eight percent characterized their 80s as the most satisfying time of thek lives, the same number also characterized, them as least satisfactory. Field says that while more analysis of the subjects' responses is needed, the 50s appear to be the most popular age because "by the time you're 50, you've raised your family ... your career has settled in. If you've made it, you've made it and if you haven't, you've come to peace with that, and you're still in very good health."

She did something new: Michelle had a man as her 'maid' of honor. By the time 25-year-old Frisina • walked down the aisle at St.Patrick's Roman Catholic church on Long Island, she'd been teased about her choice for months. So had Frank Ercolano, her 'man' of honor. The No.l joke was: Is he going to wear a gown? "I wish we had had the courage to dress him in drag to introduce him at the reception," said the bride's mother, Marilyn Frisina of Commack, N.Y.

Getting Ercolano on the altar took work - the priest originally said no, bringing Michelle to tears, but &colano ultimately was at her side, dressed in a black tux. Frisina had chosen Ercolano as her main attendant because the two have been friends most of their lives. The groom, Edward Morin of Lake Ronkonkoma, N.Y., said he isnt at all jealous. After all, when Morin and Frisina first dated seven years ago, and Frisina was wondering whether to date another guy, Ercolano, now 26, told Frisina, "Stay with Eddie." Dear Annabelle, So here is a sad story for you. I must say first of all that this Christmas was the worst one I have ever had. My boyfriend and I had planned to become engaged this Christmas. We talked about it for over a year now and when I jokingly asked him what sort of a present he had got me, he gave little clues like, "well, it's gold and small and round." So I told all my friends that I was getting my ring and when I came back to the office they could sing me that song, "I'm getting married in the morning." Well, we decided to open our presents on Christinas eve when we were alone. Imagine my horror and disgust when I opened mine and found a small, gold nose button inside the box What happened after that is too gross to go into. Suffice it to say I grabbed my coat and drove home in tears. I have not spoken to him since that night. He keeps phoning and dropping by but my parents keep giving him excuses why I can't see or talk to him. I don't think I love him anymore and would like to be rid of him for good. How should I go about it without having to face him? As for the nose button, I threw it in the garbage. Signed: Sadie, Sadie, unmarried lady. Dear Sadie, It seems to me that the boyfriend developed very cold feet before Christmas. Why he would keep up the pretense that you were going to get a ring is a mystery. He is probably not mature enough yet to stand up to his promise. Give him a wide berth-but do write him a letter telling him your feelings about his thoughtlessness and gift and that you are done with him and there is no hope for reconciliation. If he has any feelings left for you he will take your message to heart and leave you alone. It's men like him who need to be led around with a ring in their nose. No pun intended. • • • Dear Annabelle, Another tale of the birds: Whilst birding in the woods the other day with my faithful dog, Hitler, and my batman, Cpl. Hideous Golightly, I surprised a mystery bird in a pine tree. It was at least 18" in height with a wingspan of two feet or more. It made a call that sounded quite a bit like "AAARGH!" Its head was bright scarlet, it had vivid yellow occular brows, its breast was purple and its back and rump a becoming shade of puce. Hitler became so excited he cried "woof" and other dog things and the bird vanished, soaring mightily into the air with a tremendous flapping of wings. I have just posted a letter to my friend, Lord Peter Wimpy, a noted ornithologist to inquire as to his knowledge of such a creature. I, of course, shall keep you informed. I should also mention that Golightly was of no use whatsoever. I sent him out to beat the bushes but he said he was busy putting the excellent picnic lunch supplies away. Being the festive season I had treated us both to deep-dish curried pork pies with lashings of Indian curry, washed down of course with Chinese beer, an old favourite of my dear departed mother. Cheery-bye. YrsFthfly, Brig. Hugo (Huge) Gallop. (Ret) Dear Huge, Don't you know by now that eating curry and drinking beer can cause all sorts of hallucinations? Take a Turns and stay indoors for a while. ♦ ♦ ♦ Overseen on the back of a car parked at the Aldergrove Mall: "Don't risk your home, say no to gas drilling and storage in the Fraser Valley."

JANUARY 13. 1994 17 Libra finds permanent Aldergrove home LANGLEY - Ishtar Women's Transition House began in Aldergrove twenty years ago, before moving to Langley city. Last March, Ishtar opened a new branch, Libra Transition House in a rented house in Aldergrove, and will move to a permanent home here sometime in June. A government department, B.C. Housing recently purchased the large home in a rural area here and are currently renovating it for rental to the society. Diana Sacks has been managing the affairs of the Libra home since it opened and is looking forward to the new facilities. The new home will accommodate up to ten people at a time, including babies, with six bedrooms, a childcare room, and a nice, large private yard. Sacks told The Star that while women who stay at Libra are not necessarily from Aldergrove — many women fleeing abuse prefer a temporary home outside their own hometown — it is another link in transition homes that include Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Ishtar's Langley home had been turning away as many women as it accepted, because it simply did not have the space, and successfully applied to the province for a second home in Aldergrove over a year ago. Much of the administrative costs can be shared by the two homes, which made their proposal especially attractive to the government Sacks, who started with Ishtar, in 1987 has added a diploma in social services to her credit, and was thrilled to be put in charge of the Aldergrove home last March. Ishtar's executive director, Linda Dressier agreed with Sacks that their operations have had very low staff turnover or burnout, compared to elsewhere. "Our team works through problems together," said Dressier. Sacks said the Libra home has been full to capacity at times, and down to three people at others, depending on demand which cannot be predicted. Unfortunately, there are still times that women are turned away here, but they are referred to other emergency services that are available to women and children, running away from abusive relationships. "(Victims) are usually either in denial, grieving or depressed," noted Sacks. Staff on hand daily are support workers who can sit and talk with the women, give assistance as needed in accessing other services and getting through the court system. There is also a childcare worker daily, who "is not a babysitter. Educational activities are provided, and children who've witnessed violence are helped,* said Sacks. "We assess whether further troubles can be expected, and help work them through" Staff also help with transportation, -with a van -Ishtar purchased Plans begin for'Grove Festival Days ALDERGROVE - It is time to start planning for Aldergrove's summer kickoff, Aldergrove Festival Days, June 10-12.

MDRRAYVILLE - A municipal initiative to provide a neighborhood in northwest Langley with running water was withdrawn this week after councilors decided that the proponents did not have the required support from local property owners. Eight delegates to township council argued Monday night for and against the installation of the cosdy system. Many of the speakers argued that it would be unfair to saddle those with working wells with heavy frontage tax bills. Lee Schmidt told councilors that he was not opposed to the installation of municipal water lines on flO Avenue west of 208 Street, but that his water well, which had cost him about $10,000 a few years ago, was quite sufficient to meet the demands of his family and that it would be unfair to tack another $8,000 on to his tax bill in order to help pay for the municipal service to his neighbors. Other delegates spoke with equal intensity against having to ay frontage taxes ranging frost 8,000 to $12,000 for something they did not want or need. In the end, councilors told the people wanting the municipal water that since the proposal" only had "insufficient support", they would have to give it a try once again, starting "from scratch." ru DAY ^ BINGO BINGO H i WALK-IN PROGRAM 7 DAYS A WEEK Sun. to Sat.

He has accused the NDP government of raiding high tech firms by offering the employees jobs in the public sector. "As a consequence of the NDP's 'raiding program' a number of com-, panies who depended on con-#j tract work from the provincial government in order to expand their business and attract capital have had to shut down." Farrell-Collins said as many as eight companies in the Victoria area have gone out of business as a result of the Harcourt government's raiding of their employees. Farrell-Collins said each ministry employing the consultants has sent out a letter explaining that an agreement between the government and tbe BCGEU provides that the employees assigned to the work done for the government will receive an offer of employment from the province. Regardless of whether the employee accepts the offer or not, the contract with the company and the government will not be renewed. These companies depend on secure government contracts to allow them to bid on other jobs across Canada and in the United States," said Farrell-Collins. "No**V, thanks to the NDP government, the export markets developed will be lost." The Premier talks about developing high tech industries in British Columbia but the ideologues around him in cabinet are undermining his efforts." THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 13. 1994 23 Is your community out of control? By FRANK OGDEN Consider your community. Your city, town, district or village. It just grew, based on basic principles established years ago when the fastest moving vehicle was the horse-drawn milk cart. Communities today can't raise enough money to provide those services citizens believe they are people be able to keep on paying? MURRAYVILLE - Local taxes keep on going up, and so do utility frontage taxes. Councilors here this week introduced an amendment to Langley's sewer utility frontage tax bylaw raising the assessment from $6.35 per metre of taxable frontage to $7.94, an increase of 25 percent. "People are not going to be able to pay for this, you know," said Coun. Muriel Arnason. She told her colleagues that with the way things are going people, whether young or old, would not have anything left over after paying their tax bill to make improvements to their homes. The tax increase was passed with only Arnason's lone voice heard in objection. Pair charged with attack LANGLEY - An adult and a youth have been charged with the sexual assault of a 23 year old woman on New Year's Eve. Charged is Colin Eakins, 22, of Langley and an unnamed juvenile from Summerland. The vic- I tim was pulled into bushes by two suspects, shortly after midnight, Jan. 1 at 201 Street and 56 Avenue, and she was physically assaulted and raped by both men. (conoco) B.C.

But they still want them and are asking why politicians can't provide them now. Why can't today's politicians accomplish what their predecessors did? Pressure groups and pressure points are everywhere. To satisfy one, often upsets others. What are we to do? Somewhere else a state-of-the- art fighter plane has been developed. It's so sophisticated that no one can fly it. And it's also unstable. Is the local municipal council any different? With this modern aircraft (say, an F-18) computers are constantly working to adjust control settings every few thousands of a second to prevent disaster, they do this by providing new information on a second-to-second basis. The new settings, in turn, allow the plane to react accordingly and achieve apparent stability and superior performance. Municipal councils have a similar problem. Too much fast-flowing new age data, coupled with inadequate industrial age thinking processes. Chaos abounds. And it'll get worse before it gets better. Politicians have become very vulnerable because what they support today can be made to look stupid by tomorrow's technology. A conventional library built today for $200-million (Vancouver is presently doing it) can be put out of business tomorrow by a 12-inch optical disc called SERODS CSw-fsce Enhanced Raman Optical Data Storage). One disc can hold the information equivalent of one mH- lion 300-page books (and that is the extent of the Vancouver library). AH that information will be available to anyone in the world from one location and cost less than parking your car before entering the present library. Five hundred people can all access one line in one book simultaneously. How can politicians keep up? They cant They need a technology fix. Like a DEW (Distant Early Warning) line to advise on what*s ahead. How often are governments obliged to backtrack on decisions made with insufficient information? One American city recently decided to 'bash' Japan by cancelling a bulldozer purchase contract, made earlier with what they - presumed was a Japanese company that had bid $15,000 tower than the only other competing tenderer. They gave the order to the alternative bidder. It turned out that the bulldozer they didn't buy was built in the U.S. and the one they did purchase was built in Japan. Today it is hard to know whose content is where. Decisions are out of control. Misinformation abounds. It is like flying a plane in a hurricane, things aren't always what they seem What looks dangerous can be safe, and what seems secure may be fatal. In such times only a Knowledge Navigator can show you the way. This may be the career of the future. Knowledge navigators will likely become both the prestigious wise people and billionaires of the future. ■ WlmmWmM. 24 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 13. 1994 «*> <-;*- Study of importance, says councilor in Langley. MURRAY VILLE Recommendations made by a University of British Columbia team of scientists should be considered whenever Langley township councilors discuss planning processes in the future, says Coun. Muriel Arnason. Notes made by the Westwater Research Group at UBC pinpoint environmentally sensitive areas In order to property protect the areas identified by the study, the 'westwater recommendations should be made part and parcel of Langley's future growth policies, Arnason says. Her recommendation, in turn, has been referred by the other six council members for a study by municipal staff. REFORM "SNOWBALLS" g Chretien hints at tax overhaul Expansion of thermal generator criticized by local governments MURRAYVILLE - City fathers in Port Moody have asked the provincial government to review an application from BC Hydro to increase the use of the Burrard thermal station and to "direct Hydro (to) undertake a full environmental review of its operation and proposed upgrade." They have won the full support of Langley township councilors. The thermal electric plant at Port Moody has long been a thorn in the eye of politicians in lower mainland communities because of the smog and pollution of the inlet water it creates. It has been in operation for more than 30 years, but Hydro now plans to increase the capacity of the plant five-fold. LettetS have been sent to envi- Seven men charged with 17 year old's abduction LANGLEY - Seven men have been charged with the unlawful confinement of a Surrey prosti- tute, after the 17 year old was held against her will in an Aldergrove home for over three hours, Jan. 5. The woman escaped when her captors fell asleep at about 5 ajn. and called police, who then arrested the seven men. Police are investigating and said that additional charges are being contemplated. The men have all been released, pending appearances in Langley Provincial Court. Charged with unlawful confinement are Greg Owen Collins, 30, of Aldergrove, James Stewart Clark, 30, of Langley, Curtis Baker Holmes, 56, of Burnaby, David Harry Van Horn, 35 of Ontario, Daniel Patrick Brett, 31, of Surrey, Frank Mauro DeGrassi, 39 of Surrey and Daniel Cipin, 25, of Coquitlam. Post off ices will remain FORT LANGLEY - "Good news," says Langley township Mayor John Scholtens. "For now, at least, the post offices at Milner and in Fort Langley are safe." Council had received a letter of reply to an earlier inquiry from the Canada Post Corporation. Said postal director L.A. Stanton, referring to the two semi-rural post offices, "(Recent) changes implemented in Fort Langley consisted of the postmaster position being restaffed following the promotion of the former postmaster. We are satisfied that the postal services currently provided to the residents of both communities satisfactorily meet their needs, and we will continue to review services and resources on a regular basis." Scholtens concurs the the postal services provided in both Milner and Fort Langley are better than satisfactory. Local officials as well as local residents had expressed fears that the two small post offices might be shut down as a part of the process of cost-cutting by Canada Post. ronment minister Moe Sihota' calling for action by the provincial government. OTTAWA - Prime Minister Jean Chretien says a move to replace the much-hated Goods and services Tax might snowball into a general tax overhaul, the first of such in 20 years. Chretien says there is a consensus that the present tax system no longer works. Changes to the GST could perhaps create some dramatic movement elsewhere, he says. "My view is it could lead to a bigger reform than I expected." The tax issue arose out of a discussion of the federal government's election promise to replace the onerous tax and harmonize its successor with provincial sales taxes. Several premiers, noting the confusion and overlap in the tax system, have wondered why such an exercise should be restricted to the GST. All levels of government want to find a better way to collect revenue. High taxes have resulted in a blossoming underground economy in Canada. Campbell tops polls as top 1993 newsmaker TORONTO - The woman who presided over the greatest election debacle in Canadian political history has been voted by 45 of 110 Canadian newspaper editors and broadcast news directors the country's top newsmaker for 1993- Kim Campbell, who last year rose from defence minister to Tory leader to prime minister, took a mighty fall when her party won only two seats in the October 25 general election.
