Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries after earning her agriculture diploma at the University College of the Fraser Valley. Malo, who specialized in livestock at UCFV, is currently changing to a new job as a game farm/brand inspector. IT'S A START Gym and a foyer MUkRAYVILLE - One outspoken alderman didn't seem impressed. "It is just a gym and a 'glorified' foyer," said Aid. John Scholtens. "A livingroom to be built at taxpayers' expense." Most of the other council members did not seem to share this view. "It's the proper way to go," assured Aid. John Campbell. Only Aid. Muriel Arnason joined with Scholtens in ridiculingSthe"?! proposed $4-million recreation center for northwest Langley. Still more jobless OTTAWA - Canada's unemployment rate rose to 11.2 percent in May, its highest level in nearly eight years, and analysts say it could climb even higher. The number of jobless rose to 1,536,000 in May, while employment grew by 31,000 to 12,207,000 as the side of the labor force expanded. The unemployment rate was 11 percent the previous month. "The people in Walnut Grove want an arena, and they want a pool," she said. A majority of councilors, nevertheless, voted in v |avor of endorsing a local task force recommendation that the first phase of a recreation center consisting of a 'core' and a gym be built. Hopefully, with the help of senior governments, the township could later "move on to a pool and an arena," said Aid. Steve Ferguson. "It will be phase one of a three-phase development," said Aid. Aubrey Searle^, But there was no mention as to when tiie next two stages would follow the initial development. "The people of northwest Langley will be extremely disappointed when they see what they're getting," said Scholtens. "A gym and a glorified foyer; and we have enough gyms in Walnut Grove as it is and many not being used." NDP lied' VICTORIA - British Columbia's opposition leader, Gordon Wilson wants drastic government reform. "Government has seen itself as the answer to people's problems," the Liberal leader says. "Rather than as a facilitator for people to solve their own. It has become inflated, insufficient and needs to be downsized." Wilson also characterizes the Glen Clark NDP budget as deceitful. "The idea that the Socreds left a $2.4-billion deficit is a lie," he says. "It was about $890-million. What happened was that the federal government canceled $1.4-billion in transfer payments and then the NDP added in $425-million in new programs. They wanted to get as big a deficit as they could by March 31 so that they could blame it on the Socreds and then look like good guys by cutting the deficit with higher taxes. "Glen Clark spent $2-billion by special warrants (i.e. without legislative approval), something which he was always criticizing the Socreds for doing although they never did it on that scale." By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - "Street kids" is one of the nicer names for the runaway teenagers who end up sleeping in alcoves and porches in the cities. Aldergrove's no city — even Vancouver is still a provincial backwater — but the phenomena of youths living on the streets is spreading from the New Yorks and Torontos to the smaller centres of this continent. A local clergyman and one of his parishioners were shocked last week to discover that a group of eight to a dozen kids frequently camp at the back of their church. This is but one of the temporary "homes" these 13 to 17 year olds make do with after they've been kicked out of their natural parents' homes or after they've run away from foster homes that the social services ministry puts them into in other communities. Rev. David Rathnam and Lyle Lee told The Star that they've been trying to come up with other options for troubled teens Over the past year, but after seeing and talking to this group of kids, the two men have committed themselves to some serious and immediate action to help and protect these kids. And Pastor Rathnam says that requires the assistance of everyone in the community. "There is a tremendous need for this ministry," said Rathnam. 'Answers', page 2 VOL.34 NQ.24 THURSDAY.

Bennett.. A rough economy and a troubled provincial budget might be the reasons behind some creative accounting procedures that are starting to see the light of day. Langley school trustees dealt with a number of delegations and recommendations Monday night that are attributed to lower than expected funding allocations from the education ministry. Langley will receive more money for the next school year than the present school year, but because of the growth in salaries recently negotiated, they are headed for a deficit and are cutting back in some areas to attempt to balance their books by 1993. Perhaps the most unusual recomendation from school board staff was one that was suggested by bureaucrats in Victoria. It also received the most heated questioning from trustees here, who delayed a decision on it until they receive a binding contract in writing from the education ministry. It comes as result of an architect's estimate that a building addition and renovation to H.D. Stafford Secondary will be $800,000 more than the amount .provided in the capital plan. However, the ministry is prepared to allow it to go to tender using money that's allotted for equipment and architect's fees to cover the shortfall. The ministry will go to treasury board for additional money for the project, but said "there is no guarantee" that treasury will go along with it. If treasury says no, the new rooms will not have equipment and the architect will not be at all happy, but if the tender is delayed there will be time lost while the school is unoccupied during the summer. The stunned trustees pondered the consequences. "Is it in writing?" asked an incredulous trustee, Barbara Foxwell. She pointed out that the government reneged on agreements with doctors and are expected to legislate the new medicare agreement this week over ^ the howls of indignant physicians. I "The way staff is turning over there that's (a binding agreement) probably a good idea," agreed 'Architect', page 8 PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C.

Two fireballs responded to the blaze on 272 Street across from CFS Aldergrove.

Hall's is finished, but the other two have undergone repairs. -Tim Attwood photo Yanks blamed for low water , VICTORIA - B.C.Hydro is pointing a finger at the United States in laying the blame for the dangerously low water level in Columbia River reservoirs. Residents in Fernie are facing as much as a 10-meter water drop and Hydro spokesman Peter McMullan says the U.S. is at fault for damaging Canadian environ mental and economic interests. Lower than normal snowpack in both B.C. and the western U.S. have contributed to the lower runoffs, but McMullan charges that the Americans are using the stored water faster than it can be replenished. From front "It's not because they're sleeping at the back of our church, but because they need a change in their lifestyle... not giving them what they want, but what they need." Lee works for Creative Community Services, a division of W.J. Stelmaschuk & Associates of Maple Ridge. This company is well-established and respected for its provision of residential and emergency services for children, through social services ministry contracts, but Lee said Aldergrove is in serious need of these kinds of services within the community itself. The social services ministry has recently called for such project proposals here and Lee said he and wife, Kelly will be applying to provide temporary shelter for groups of up to five children in Aldergrove. He'd also like to see other responsible adults in the community do the same. Lee, now 39, said he grew up on the streets himself and can identify, with these kids. However, through the Penta- costal-based ministry of Rev. Rathnam and the Aldergrove Christian Assembly, he "came to the light" and changed his own lifestyle. He's almost completed his criminology degree and has been working, "with the 12 to 17 year olds that the law gives me. I've lived it, I can only feel for these kids. But now I want to do something for them before the law gets them." Under the present circumstances there's not much anyone can do for these kids. It's illegal for Rev. Rathnam to open up his church as a shelter or hostel, although he said he's provided them with some food and clothing.

"I got them to pull up weeds on the lot and invited them inside for services and lunch on Sunday," said Rathnam. "They were so happy and grateful that someone cared. They were singing with the rest of the church. They were suspicious at first, and asked why do we do this for them because 'we're not good kids'. I told them they were good kids. They only need structure and guidance, and they're obviously not getting that at home." The men said they have talked with some of the parents concerned. "One mother said she couldn't have her 13 year old in her house because he threatened her with a knife," said Lee. "There's got to be a lot more to the story than that. A 13 year old needs motivation to do that. Is it the parents or the kids? Aldergrove, you better wake up." Lee said that the runaways typically come from single-parent homes where there's often all the problems connected with living on welfare, abusive boyfriends and/or substance abuse. It's an atmosphere that corrupts young minds and leads all too frequently to criminality. There's no easy answers, either. Since there's no emergency foster homes in this community, the kids are taken some distance from those that they may be close to, whether it's their siblings, friends or parent. As a result, they run back here and live on the streets. Since they have no resources it leaves them no option but to resort to shoplifting, or worse, to eat. And, as Lee points out, .living on the streets also leaves them vulnerable to adult criminals. So, the RCMP and social services step in once again to take them away, and the cycle repeats itself. Lee said there's good educational opportunities for these kids in Aldergrove. "All they need is the challenge. At home, they're told to get lost. fe§»£ "Is this community ready to accept the facts? The solution is simple if everybody agrees," said Lee. "Aldergrove is growing but has never provided the services needed. Planners never dreamt of the problems that come with growth. "These kids need a new model. Real house parents. Foster homes with five beds and under. Because these are nice kids, they're not in trouble with the law, but they soon will be. There are no other choices I know of." "We set out this morning to start a fire," agreed Rev. Rathnam. "To see what we can do together for the betterment of the kids in this town." The Fraser South office of Social Services is requesting bids from the public here to provide support services for families, children and the mentally handicapped.

Lyle and Kelly Lee are presently residing in Cloverdale, but are looking for a suitable residence here for such a program; they can be reached at 576-0661. These people are working on it, and other local churches and businesses are also involved, but they need your help, too.

JUNE 18. 1992 HUMMING ALONG Councilors reject bid Funding received from seniors lotteries - Ray Scott, a director of Senior's Lotteries Funding presented a cheque.for $5,000. to the Alder Grove Heritage Society last week to purchase a photo copier and a fax machine. The copier and fax machine will be used to develop an archives and publish the history book of the Aldergrove area. At the general monthly meeting, June 9, president, John Jackman and Ada Shillinglaw thanked Scott for his effort in obtaining this funding for the society. - MURRAYVILLE - If all local politicians really cared about the municipal airport in Langley they could really make the place "hum", Aid. John Scholtens said Monday night. That would take a change in attitude of some councilors who would rather see the local airport bulldozed for other development. And it would take some tender loving care and, perhaps most important of all, some financial investment. Councilors again rejected a bid by Aid. Aubrey Searle to have some $400,000 returned to township general revenue from the airport administration's reserve fund. Searle had called for "unanimous endorsation" to his demand to have the money redirected. He said $293,810 had been transferred to the airport account to pay for improvements but that the money wasn't used when senior governments picked up the tab for the work on the aircraft runways. It should now be returned together with interest accrued, he said. Four other councilors ignored his request and that obviously angered Searle. "You are all misrepresenting the people who elected you," he charged. The aldermen also ignored Searle's repeated demand that the airport should be closed down in favor of providing a site for a university that may or may not be built in the Fraser Valley. Politicians 'surprised' by large turnout ALDERGROVE - Township officials say they were "surprised" by the large turnout of people at the annual Aldergrove Festival Days last weekend. The weather was not ideal for the event, yet thousands of people turned out for the Saturday morning parade and later on for the many other activities and the fireworks extravaganza concluding the two-day event. It rained most of Saturday, and the following day was only a slight improvement weatherwise. Clinics slated for remainder of '92 ALDERGROVE - Blood donor Township officials have agreed clinics will be held at the Kinsmen to waive rental charges for the hall community center here on June 18, for the use by the Canadian Red September 17 and December 10 Cross on the three dates, this year.

JUNE 18. 1992 Income security: a $76-billion tab OTTAWA - Money transfers from federal, provincial and local governments to individuals are a key element - and a costly one - in Canada's social welfare system. Such federal programs as old age security, unemployment insurance, family allowance, Canada and Quebec pension plans, various refundable federal and provincial tax credits, provincial worker compensation and manpower training allowances and local government welfare plans all form part of what is known collectively as the income security network. All told, they represent almost 12 percent of the value of all goods and services produced by our economy each year. Though recent years have seen a general trend to broaden and enrich these programs, recessionary times could result in an examination in a less generous light. Expressed in terms of 1989 dollars to remove inflationary effects, the total cost of thee income security network grew by 156 percent from 1971 to 1989. Put another way, the contributions made in support of these programs, if made solely by employed persons age 25 and up, jumped to $7,505 each from $4,834 over the same 18 years. Naturally enough, these programs have their greatest impact on the population segment with the lower income. Assessing the effect of the programs requires a separate look at two social groups - unattached l individuals and families. The individuals are not eligible for certain transfers available to families, such as child tax credits and spouse allowances, as well, unattached individuals as a proportion of all households grew from 25 percent in 1971 to 31 percent in 1989. Looking at unattached individuals in the lowest income quintile (fifth of the population), 94 percent received some cash transfers in 1989 compared to just 42 percent in 1971. The proportion of these individuals with no other income except such transfer payments jumped to 46 percent in 1989 from 29 percent in 1971. For families, the change was less dramatic, in part because many families with children under age 18 received at least the universal family allowance throughout the study period. Even so, transfers in 1989 compared to 85 percent in 1971. The proportion of families where these transfers amounted to 100 percent of income remained at about 20 percent in both years. Seniors are another group strongly affected by income security programs. In 1971, a full 40 percent of unattached individuals age 65 and over and 16 percent of families with a head 65 and over received their total income from these transfer payments. By 1989, this was reduced to 31 percent for individuals and 10 percent for families. Some of this reduction should be attributed to the growth of both employer-sponsored pension plans and RRSPs during the same period. Lone-parent families headed by females, a group in which low income is often a problem and a growing population segment since divorce laws were relaxed, saw the total proportion receiving transfer payments climb to almost 99 percent in 1989 from 89 percent in 1971. In 1989 dollars, the average transfer to such families went to $5,996 from $4,759. The payments in . 1989 constituted two-thirds of total income received by lone-parent families headed by women. ONE THING FOR SURE, WE KNOW OUR TAX DOLLARS A/N'T GOIN' FOR BIG LUXURY STRETCH PARADE" LIMOS.. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What's in a name? We're stuck with it Editor, The Star.Sir, When I visited old friends in Aldergrove that I haven't seen for many years, I was surprised that many of them joined the Reform Party. I realize Preston Manning is a smart, smooth talker. Since he is a conservative he would have to convince the voter that his conservative policies are different from the original Conservative policies that are generally always used. In the late twenties, when the KKK Grand Wizard visited Saskatchewan, he only had one thing on his mind, and that was to organise KKK clubs throughout Canada. Knowing that the Progressive Conservatives were a right wing party, he figured it would be easy, and succeeded in establishing 4,000 members in Regina. It was spreading and even Liberals joined up. They were called The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community. 'Letters' column is a chance for comment on what has been written in the paper. It is our readers' opportunity to respond to what newsmakers of the area have been saying. We especially encourage readers to write on topics of local interest, although letters which enlighten or stimulate thought are welcome.

Then the people realised what was going on, and I believe it was 1924's election, when the conservatives were beat and gradually the KKK's disbanded. Their plan always has been to prey on the yellow and black race and communists. That was the end of the Progressive Conservatives. When the people got fed up with them, to fool the voter they changed their name to just the Conservative party, and they had a plan to attract the voter, the heritage fund. People liked that idea, thinking it was for them. It was for the rich oil companies. So the voter fooled again, but not the Conservatives, they changed their name again to Social Credit. With the new phoney money deal, that never got off the ground. How now to fool and attract the voter? Change the name again to the Reform party. Why not change names? It worked before. Sure enough, new guy, Preston Manning, but the same old party that has fooled a lot of people, since the 1920s. No wonder Mr. Mulroney doesn't worry much, being a lawyer, if the Reform party got in. I doubt it. I dont think the voters are that stupid, but he could get to be Manning's right hand man, attorney general, or even the Governor General of Canada if the Reformers formed the government. Let's stick to our three party system and not break up Canada. That could happen if a branch of the conservative party under disguise got in. It's not worth that chance. We don't want right wing parties in Canada. STEVE DEDELUKE Hope Editor, The Star, Sir, I would like to respond to the article in the letters to the editor entitled, "Loopholes help the rich". I heard a joke recently that suggested crime be legalized. If crime was legalized, the revenue would be taxable income. The crime itself would be work and eventually would stop as it would be employment. We are all supposed to pay our taxes and the elected officials will not stop who pays and who doesn't. Actually, I believe we all aspire to become rich enough that we don't have to pay taxes. That is called democracy. There is one point that was missed, for those rich enough to •not pay taxes, they have additional responsibilities of employing the taxpayers. This in itself is a stressful role as they take the risks and if the gamble was fruitful, they get rich; however, if the risk was too great, they are poor and you are out of work. Regardless of who we elect to power, our social and economic structure will not change. So, we are still stuck with a growing 419-billion dollar debt. I proposed to make and sell T- shirts and sweatshirts because I wanted to show that we make quality, at a reasonable price and the debt is all of ours. The rich and the poor, Brian Mulroney, Jennifer Poclitar, and Don Tipton. (Editor's note: United Debt shirts are manufactured here in Aldergrove). I am assuming from your article that you will not be buying a shirt, however, thank you for your input. JENNIFER POCLITAR United Debt Where's your spirit? Editor, The Star, Sir, In response to recent disclosures of governmental proceedings as portrayed in the media as well as copies of the Hansard (parliamentary debates) I find it increasingly difficult to fathom the importance of many of the issues addressed, when our economy is dying. Not slowly! It is extremely rapid in its progression down hill. One would think that raising taxes was valid if our economic growth balanced. But as our situation darkens, we are increasingly put in the situation of no growth, -no purchasing power and the worst item, no income! How then do we support our businesses as well as the tax base? If the government would wake up and smell the roses, for even two minutes, they would witness reality at its best. No business! No revenue! Development has to return to B.C. Concerns and repairs to our industries and business must be forthright. Since November of last year, development, industry and private sector to mention but a few have plummeted at lightening speed. Concerns for the constitution have appeared to out-weigh our survival. Economy must take precedence over constitutional matters at this time. We are bailing from a sinking ship. When we recover, the economy will balance with the constitution. We have no need for a constitution change in a dying province or country. Don't get me wrong, I believe we need the constitution, but we will not need one if we have nothing left. B.C. where is your fighting spirit' Stand up and be heard! PENNY KITTSON Langley ,^J. X.

An act of real friendship LANGLEY - Big Brothers has, in the past and present, always been a very positive and successful organization, not only in the Langley area but throughout B.C. and Canada. The general purpose of the agency is to provide boys who come from father-absent homes with a friendship volunteered by adult men of good character. Big Brothers are unique men that come for all types of backgrounds and occupations, yet they all possess one common . goal of sharing a friendship with a boy. Being a Big Brother involves spending three to four hours a week with their Little Brothers and are asked to make a commitment of one to two years. Big Brothers are primarily friends of Tim Attwood's photos are available by calling to their Little Brothers, exposing them to a positive role model and contribution to the development of a young man. Little Brothers are often referred to the agency by their mothers who feel their sons would benefit from male companionship. Langley Big Brothers serves the Langley, Fort Langley and Aldergrove area. Many more volunteers are desperately needed in the Aldergrove area. The waiting list for the Aldergrove area is twice as long compared to others. Offer your friendship and guidance to a little brother and he will offer his enthusiasm and affection. For more information call 530-5055.

MURRAYVILLE - Owners of non-industrial properties located inside the Gloucester industrial park in north Aldergrove want "fair and equitable market value" for their land. John Welch, of 26838 - 56 Avenue, told councilors here Monday night that "there has already been too much procrastination" by local politicians. He and his neighbors want the township of Langley to rezone their properties for industrial use. To the landowners it would mean the difference of selling their land for about $170,000 an acre instead of the $35,000 they now can expect to realize. The problem is that the infrastructure in the industrial park was paid for by Gloucester, and unless the private landowners can connect to water and sewer services, they have no hope of rezoning. The municipality is currently working on a formula to share the costs between the various parties involved. Councilors this week decided to defer a decision until after they have had an opportunity to discuss the matter with representatives for the industrial park.

At the end of the first period Mission was leading 2-0 and the Warriors were in need of a little encouragement which was freely given by their coaches Bryan Nicola and Gary McLaughlin as well as their fans. This positive attitude reaped benefits as Marty Ford came out in the second period and fired in two goals while Mission scored another single to leave the score at the end of the second period 3-2 for Mission. The thkd period saw the team really geared up for action and Jason Zemaitis notched in a goal to tie the score. Insurance markers were then added by Marty Ford (his third of the night for a hat trick) and Dan Smith to lead the Warriors to victory with a final score of 6-4 after Mission's single goal in the third period. Langley's netminder Jared Johnson stopped 21 goals while Mission held 14 goals out of 20 at bay. This victory and their 'come from behind' win has the team all fired up for their two remaining league games against Surrey and White Rock, and for the Dennis Hickey Memorial Bantam Lacrosse Tournament being held on June 19, 20 and 21 utilizing both Langley and Aldergrove arenas.

"We want to remind boaters that the penalty for impaired' boating is as stiff as that for impaired driving. That means you could face a possible jail sentence, fine, loss of your driver's license and a criminal record. It's just not worth it." Graham also points out that the RCMP are employing handheld breathalyzers to help them apprehend drunken boaters, so the possibility of getting charged with drunken boating is a likely one. Alcohol is a factor in 53 percent of the drownings from small power boats. The statistic jumps to 75 percent among people who drown while fishing from small power boats. 3063 - 275A St. (Across the Fraser Highway from Safeway) 857-1885 WANT YOUR DAD TO LOVE YOU} FATHER'S DA Specifications Standard Metric Centerline length 207" 6.27m Beam 7'4" 2.24m Approximate weight (w/3.0L MerCniiSCT) Fuel capacity Draft drive up Draft drive down Bridge clearance Length (overall) on Escort1" trailer Width (overall) on Escort1* 3eal 2280 Ibsl034kg 113L .46m Mm 1.27m 7.29m HOURS: Mon. to Sat. 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Thurs. & Fri. till 8:30 pm 5-YEAR (M A X U M k. structural huu % ^JXHRMKTL, Specifications Standard Metric Centerline length 196" 5.94m Beam 7'I0" 2.39m Approximate weight (W/3.0L MerCniiser)2400 lbs 1089kg Fuel capacity 36 gal Draft drive up 1'6" Draft drive down 2'9" Bridge clearai... 4*9" Length (overall) on optional Escon™ trailer 23'6" Width (overall) on optional Escort™ trailer ST 7.16m 2.44m otftf $6 995 Reg. $8495 **}****** Prop. & controls included.

JUNE 18. 1992 By JANET BLAIR ALDERGROVE - "There will not be baseball in Aldergrove in two years because there is Not Enough Parent Support!" says John McKeigan, current president of Aldergrove Minor Baseball. At a meeting held June 16 (as this paper goes to press) in the Kinsmen Hall, McKeigan is to announce his intention to step down as president unless more parent support and participation is forthcoming. "The club needs help! Ten (10) to twenty (20) hours a ■week on baseball is too much for one person." says McKeigan. "We need help to keep improving." If McKeigan steps down more executive members are likely to follow. This would mean the collapse of minor baseball in Aldergrove and we would be forced to drive our children to Langley or Abbotsford to play ball — if they could take us. In the past three years our legue has grown from 24 teams to 34 teams. That's approximately 450 players. With a projected expansion next year of another 3 - 4 teams, we are looking at topping 500. Neither Langley nor Abbotsford is equipped to handle such a sudden influx of players. Lack of available fields and support staff would mean only some of our All-star caliber players would be given a cross- . boundary welcome to their already overflowing leagues. Volunteers are desperately needed in the following areas: fund raisers, equipment managers, uniforms, Pony co-ordinator for 1993, coaches, coaching clinics, casino nights & trophies to name a few. If you can volunteer a couple of hours a week please call John McKeigan at 856-9135 or Gary or Diane Bailey at 856-1360. "Remember — we are all Volunteers. This is for the kids!"

Please make an appointment. 856-8303 From front chair Marlene Grinnell. Treasurer Paul Makortoff was told to get the novel funding arrangement in writing before the next board meeting, June 25. Makortoff noted that the situation was somewhat similar to the addition to Murrayville Elementary. The tender for this was also let to low bidder, Boretta Construction Ltd., Monday night, but it was "higher than allotted'' at $1,274,900. The board expressed pleasure that night that Boretta of Langley, and another low bidder, Aspen Enterprises Ltd. of Abbotsford ($796,000 for an addition to James Kennedy Elementary) were local contractors. Makortoff also noted that both firms had previously done "very satisfactory" work for the district. However, Grinnell said there was a disturbing trend starting of bids coming in higher than the money allotted by Victoria, which controls funding for capital projects. Trustees also heard two delegations that night who expressed concerns over the viability of programs at Alice Brown Elementary and Mountain Secondary. Alice Brown provides a program for "gifted" students and Mountain has the International Baccalaureate program for senior secondary high achievers. Student Laura Day of Aldergrove Elementary said the program for 17 gifted students had "given (us) a new oudook" but was "ending because there are not enough resources." Two parents also spoke on the need for "the opportunity to learn to the greatest extent that they can." Grinnell promised a formal response from the board on June 25, but offered no reason for hope. "We didn't expect our financial situation..." Mountain's teaching staff committee chairman Ken Tannar told the board that the new Walnut Grove Secondary had resulted in shrinking Mountain's enrolment to the degree that programs there are in jeopardy. The school is built for 750 students but expects only about 600 this fall. He suggested boundary changes, B.C. Transit route changes and (reaching for the stars) bumping up the school's funding to an amount equivalent to that needed for 750 students. Tannar's suggestions didn't seem to tickle the fancies of trustees, who promised a formal response next meeting. However, trustee Bruce Barnes suggested that an aggressive marketing program would attract students necessary to continue programs at the school. Grinnell said to work on more "creative solutions."

He is one of a growing number of musicians who' does not allow sales of bis CDs and cassettes in longbox form. He advocates elimination of the excess packaging and has offered a comprehensive solution aimed at appeasing objections of record companies and retailers. He is also involved with the efforts of the Penan tribe of Sarawak in Malaysia whose rainforest habitat , is being destroyed by government-run logging operations. Perhaps most importantly, Raffi works closely with a group called the Environmental Youth Alliance, composed of young people who grew up with his music and who share his concern for the environment. The EYA membership consists of about 20,000 high-school and college age students across Canada, and this will grow in the organization's planned expansion to the United States. Raffi's music is now directed at these young adults, and their parents, in an attempt to impress upon everyone the urgency of taking care of the earth's resources now before it is too late. He calls the nineties a "turnaround decade in which we make it or break it." The respect and recognition that Raffi has earned in his distinguished career bodes well for his efforts in the environmental field. He has received gold and platinum records, awards of excellence for his children's books and videos, and in 1983 was presented with the Order of Canada. Significantly, he has already earned the trust of a generation of young people who are now in a position to help stop the tide of environmental destruction. Although the message is urgent and the content mature, often alarming, Raffi's music offers hope and urges listeners to become.'active now. Japanese Language School students enjoy a game of "tamaire." »^s Japanese sports day at Bradner BRADNER - Fraser ! Valley Japanese Language School's sixth annual Sports Day was celebrated on June 7 at Bradner Community . Park. Fine weather and high excitement prevailed as students and parents were divided into two opposing teams distinguished by red or white hachimaki (headbands). After Aisatsu (opening remarks), in which treasurer Kyoshi Inoue was honoured for UCFV lays out a lucky thirteenth theatre season CHILLIWACK Jfr - University College of the Fraser Valley Theatre Department head, Ian Fenwick, has announced an exciting and entertaining line up of productions for the Department's 1992-93 lucky thirteenth" season of theatre. The Hostage, by internationally acclaimed Irish playwright Brendan Behan, will be the opening production of the season. The Hostage is a broad, witty satire bursting with life; a magnificent entertainment full of song dance, comedy and heart. The play is set in Dublin, Ireland, in I960. Leslie, a young British soldier, has been taken hostage by the I.RA. in revenge for the threatened execution by the British authorities of a young Irish patriot. His prison is a decaying _ boarding house dubbed "The Hole" by its motley inhabitants. The action of The Hostage is played out as these rag-tag residents sing, dance, fight and woo each other and Leslie slowly realizes his days may be numbered. The Hostage will run November 4 to 21. - The second production of the season wil! be As2igo,s Blue Guitar by award winning Canadian playwright Joan MacLeod. Set on the British Columbia coast, near Vancouver, Amigo's Blue Guitar tells the story of Sander, a lackadaisical college student, who tries.to earn marks for his sociology* class by sponsoring Elias, a Salvadoran refugee. Sander never imagines that Elias will actually turn up, but when he does Sander and his family are forced to learn what it really means to be a refugee. Amigo's BlUe Guitar will play January 20 to February 6. The department's Shakespeare *93 production will be the absorbing dark comedy Measure For Measure, a fascinating, examination of mercy, law arid licence and the effect of power on character. In Measure For Measure, Vincentio, Duke of Vienna — a city in .moral decay, to his Angelo, abroad. relinquishes power straight-laced deputy ostensibly to travel Vincentio, however, remains in the city in disguise to observe and test his subjects and their temporary ruler in an entertaining game of hide and seek. Tempered-in the crucible of power, Angelo's excessive zeal becomes self seeking desire; and the cloistered holiness of Isabella, a .young .^novice pleading for her brother's life, is put to the test as she holds the power of life and death in her hands. Measure For Measure Will run March 3 to 13.

During Ninin-sankyaku (three- legged race) and Kome-bukuro reesu (sack race), the playground was strewn with happy, strugglng bodies. Minutes later contestants had to focus their concentration on Mame-utsushi (replacing beans with chopsticks) and then Kaado-awase (matching written cards with objects in a pile). In Suika-wari reesu blindfolded warriors had to strike watermelons with a paper sword, while in Tamaire beanbags were thrown into baskets atop long hand-held poles. The fortunes of each team ebbed and flowed under a hot sun and the smell of fresh mown bay. In the end it was the White team who lined up for a victory prize of drinking cups and straws. Red team members were awarded fancy pens as a consolation prize. A potluck dinner of Japanese and Western food ended this fun-filled celebration of culture and companionship. Fraser Valley Japanese Lan- "guage School is a community school located in Bradner in premises donated by the Fraser Valley Buddhist Temple.

In the period from 1980 to 1991 the airport books showed net revenues of $391,364, administrator Jim Godfrey said. i$fc During the same period a total of $950,850 was spent on capital works, but most of this money came from grants from the federal and provincial governments. Rezoning okayed ALDERGROVE - A rezoning application submitted to Langley township by Don Charlton has been approved in council. Don's ■ Aldercity Motors will ■ continue in business after rezoning of the car sales lot at 27441 Fraser Highway was approved by councilors Monday night. On the official community [ plan, the property was zoned for multiple family residential use, but officials say it could never have been put to this use since the provincial highways department wouldn't allow access from Fraser Highway for a housing development. Application will still have to go to public hearing. Record year noted WINNIPEG - 1991 was a record-breaking year for Ducks Unlimited Canada in three ways. 183,000 acres of waterfowl habitat were developed or secured, nearly tripling the previous record of 67,177 acres set in 1990. Canadian-generated income increased $110,000 from 1990. As well, attendance at Ducks Unlimited events was up seven percent, with 68 hew local committees joining the conservation organization from coast - to coast.

JUNE 18. 1992 13 Marina in council hot water MURRAYVILLE - "I don't see it as 'a thing of beauty, but I think it could be," Mayor John Beales reflected Monday night Councilors were once again discussing the float home marina off Louie Crescent in northwest Langley. Aid. Aubrey Searle continued his opposition to making the marina a legal entity. "There are 26 (float) homes there now," he said. •Eventually there could be 40, and the ones already there have no permission to be there." Searle added that he was "not satisfied we're doing the right thing" in legalizing the marina known as Grant's Landing. Other councilors have argued that the homes on the river pay taxes as well, and that a proper rezoning of the 3-3 acres of foreshore would allow for improved and updated facilities at the dock. Searle and Aid. Muriel Arnason voted contrary to third reading of the proposed bylaw. H.B.Construction lands contract MURRAYVILLE - Township officials have awarded a $1.5-million contract to H.B.Construction Inc. for the widening of 88 Avenue between 208 Street and Walnut Grove Drive in northwest Langley. Lowest tender was received from Gemco Construction Ltd., but municipal administrator Jim Godfrey says this bid was "qualified" and therefore rejected. Gemco did not guarantee completion of the project within the specified time frame, he says. Port Mann closures rescheduled VANCOUVER - Eastbound closures scheduled on the Port Mann Bridge for the past weekend were cancelled due to inclement weather. ' Eastbound bridge closures have been rescheduled to Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27, weather permitting, from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. Westbound closures, scheduled for Friday June 19 and Saturday June 20 between the hours of 11 pm. and 9 a.m. will go ahead as planned, weather permitting. The Ministry of Transportation and Highways advises that the reason for the postponement of last weekend's full eastbound closure of the Port Mann Bridge is the heavy rain the Lower Mainland experienced. The eastbound and westbound closures are needed for the resurfacing of the Port Mann Bridge decks. Work cannot be done during rainy conditions.

JUNE 18. 1992 Women find challenges in agriculture CHILLIWACK - Women have always played a major role in agriculture. They continue to do so today, although the field now demands a lot more than knowing how to milk a cow or grow a crop. People in agriculture today need to know about business, computers and conservation along with the basics. Many of the graduates of the University College of the Fraser Valley's Agriculture programs are women. Most of them have gone ■ on to find challenging employment in the field, working in the agricultural service industry; for the government, or as independent farmers or business owners. • UCFV offers two-year agriculture diplomas in livestock, horticulture or agriculture business management, one-year certificates in livestock and horticulture, and a three-month milker training program. Dorla Malo of Aldergrove and Deborah Nikkei of- Sardis were both mature students who entered the UCFV agriculture program after being in the workforce for a number of years, Malo as a trucker and Nikkei as a retail clerk. Now both work for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Fisheries in Abbotsford. Nikkei is a soils technician, and Malo recently changed from being a berry technician to game farm/brand inspector. They credit the UCFV program with giving them a good general exposure to agricultural topics, specialized information, and the research, communication and computing skills they need to perform their duties. "I never thought that the communication training would be important but it has paid off," says Malo. "My job involves a lot of report writing and speaking with the public so com- Home Energy Circuit by Keith Wilson Q. We just moved into a new house. With winter around the corner, how can I ted if my house is draft free? A. Do a quick air leakage test around your house on a windy day. Use a down feather, or facial tissue hung from a skirt hanger. Follow the inside edge of your doors and windows, electrical outlets and baseboards. If the feather or tissue flutters, you have found an air leak. Q. Our teenage boys have decided to build a rec room in our basement, but we are concerned about the noise from their stereo. Is there anything we can do to reduce the noise but still allow the boys their own space? A. There is. Use insulation to block out the cool weather from exterior walls. To provide, sound control of walls and ceilings use Fiberglas Canada Noise Stop Blanket behind dry- wall in all interior walls and ceilings. The product is easy to install into standard wood frame construction, and can be cut with a knife, is light weight and easy to handle. Best of all the 2 1/2 inch thickness significantly reduces noise. Fiberglas Sonoflex Acoustical boards in a suspended ceiling system with a carpet on the floor will improve their enjoyment to the room. Q. Our hot water tank is set at 140 degrees F. Hut seems very hot to me. Can I reduce the setting? A. If you have a dishwasher with a booster heater, you should reduce the setting to 120 degrees F. Adding an extra insulation blanket, conforming to CGSB Standard 51.65 M, around the outside of the water tank can reduce the energy needed to heat the water regardless of the temperature you choose. Check with the energy supplier (Hydro or Gas Company) before tampering with the settings, or to determine the proper insulation type for your size of water heater. Q. We have a bedroom that we don't use. Can we turn off the heat in that room without causing problems? A. If the room is heated with electrical baseboard heaters or hot air registers, and if there are no water pipes running through the walls in the area, you can turn down the heat, or close the vents. Also close the door to the room to minimize condensation on windows. If you leave the drapes open during the day, particularly with south or west facing windows, take advantage of passive solar gain and the room will be warmer.

So is learning how to compile data and use a computer." ^^^ Malo also appreciates the fact that although students specialize in either livestock or horticulture, everyone in the diploma program gets some exposure to both aspects of agriculture. She specialized in livestock at UCFV but ended up initially working in horticulture. "What I learned about horticulture helped when I first started my job. Even though livestock was my main focus as school, I still learned enough about horticulture to get by." In her. job as .a berry technician, Malo helped conduct variety trials on blueberries, testing a large number of varieties to see which grow best in local conditions. "^pl She maintained, monitored and harvested the plots in summer, then compiled' the data, sharing it with growers to help them decide which varieties to plant. She enjoyed the co-operative, helping aspect of her job. "It was nice to work with the private growers and companies and establish a rapport with them." In her new game farm/brand inspector position, Malo will be inspecting potential game farms to ensure that fences and facilities are adequate, inspecting game at time of slaughter, and keeping track of movement of livestock in the region. She recommends agriculture as a career to anyone who has the inclination, but notes that it's important to get practical experience while still a student, especially if you're not from an agricultural background. Like Malo, Deborah Nikkei returned to school in order to qualify for more challenging, better paying jobs. She had always had a green thumb, so she decided.to try her hand at horticulture. Once she entered the agriculture program, she learned that growing involves more than nurturing plants, it also involves ensuring that there's soil to. grow them in. While taking a soils course she discovered she liked the subject, and ended up joining the B.C. chapter of the Soil Conservation Society. "One year I was a student nervously making a presentation to the society, and the next year I was a soils technician for the government," Nikkei notes. Nikkei helps to research and write soil management manuals and handbooks for agriculture producers in the Fraser Valley and works with local soil conservation groups. She says the. need to conserve soil is a growing concern. "Producers are aware of the need and so is the government." In addition to the soils courses, Nikkei liked the provincial agriculture tour that is a part of the UCFV diploma program. She also found the program valuable for the contacts she made with producers, agri-business people and classmates. Nikkei is the first UCFV agriculture grad to earn professional certification from the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C., which is acquired through a combination of work experience, education and in-depth reference checks. She recommends agriculture as a career for people with energy and initiative, and says awareness of agriculture will be important in coming years. "We cant survive without agriculture, and there's a need to spread public awareness of that fact, especially at the elementary school level." Some UCFV agriculture grads choose a more traditional farming career. Ruby Peterson of Agassiz grew up on a dairy farm, developed her skills further by attending UCFV, and ended up on a dairy farm again when she married. She and husband Gordon milk 40 cows daily, while juggling care of their year- old daughter Amanda. . She likes the farming life because "you're your own boss, you get to be around animals, and it's generally a nice lifestyle." Peterson notes that the UCFV agriculture programs are easier if you come from a farming background, 'but that the practicums help people without practical experience. Peterson found her program valuable because of the contacts she made, the first-hand knowledge shared by visiting faculty such as veterinarians, and the computing courses. She and her husband use a computer to help manage their farm. She hopes they will jj be involved in farming for a long time. "With GATT and free trade, we're keeping our fingers crossed." Applications are being accepted now for all agriculture programs at UCFV. For more information, call 792-0025, local 2812.

JUNE 18. 1992 15 NUTRIENTS FUEL GROWTH — For seedlings to provide bountiful vegetables, a steady supply of nutrients is required. "Nature's Best" All Natural Organic Garden Fertilizer can provide an ideal slow release fertilizer for all vegetables and flowers. Luscious, prize-winning, home-grown tomatoes — there's nothing better. Tiny cherry and currant tomatoes, red, yellow, orange and green tomatoes, meaty plums or giant beefsteaks. Tomatoes abound for every garden and every taste. The secret to prize-winning tomatoes is rich, healthy soil, adequate sun and moisture, and regular nourishment with an all natural fertilizer, such as "Nature's Best" All Natural Organic Garden Fertilizer. It is ideal for environmentally responsible homeowners who wish to fertilize organically. And, it makes for edible plants without worry. Tomatoes for AD Tastes The biggest of the big is "Delicious," which holds a spot in the Guiness Book of World Records with a six-pound, eight- ounce fruit. "Beefmaster" VFN, "Dom- bito" Fl and "Jumbo Tom" also produce large, meaty tomatoes, any one of which could weigh-in at two pounds. "Big Pick" VFFNTA, "Quick Pick" VFFNTA, "Better Boy" VFN, "Floramerica" VF, "Red- pak" VG, "Celebrity" VFFNT and "Mar- globe Select" F, are slightly smaller, but no less delicious. Italian, or plum, tomatoes are the best for making sauces, catsup, or tomato paste. "Roma" VF, "San Marzano," "Napoli," and "Royal Chico" VF are among the readily available varieties. For those who prefer yellow tomatoes, "Golden Sunrise," "Golden Boy" and "Lemon Boy" are excellent choices. Among the smaller tomatoes suitable for containers and hanging baskets are: "Sweet Million" FNTL, "Tiny Tim," "Baxter's Bush Cherry," "Gardener's Delight," "Sugar Lump," and "Minibel." Starting Tomatoes Tomatoes are warm weather plants and should be set out in the garden when night temperatures are consistently at least 55 degrees. While local garden supply retailers will have seedlings of the more popular varieties available at the proper planting time, those wishing to grow unusual varieties may start their own plants from seed about four to six weeks before the garden is ready for planting To begin tomatoes from seed, start with individual peat pots filled with a sterile sphagnum peat planting medium or compressed peat pellets which expand when moistened. Push a seed or two about half an inch into the potting mixture. Place the pots in a tray or large baking dish, cover with light plastic sheeting and place trays in a warm place, for about seven to 10 days until tiny green'seedlings have appeared. During the germination and early growth period, it is important to keep the planting mixture moist, but not soggy. After seedlings have appeared, transfer the trays to a sunny but cool place and keep the planting mixture moist. Preparing the Garden Bed While the infant tomatoes are sprouting indoors, prepare their future home in the garden. Select an area of the garden that receives maximum sun. Mix garden soil thoroughly with compost and sphagnum peat moss, which will lighten heavy clay soils and add organic matter to sandy soils. Then, spread 2 to 3 pounds of "Nature's Best" All Natural Organic Garden Fertilizer for every 100 square feet of soil and work into the 3 to 4 inches of the garden soil. "Nature's Best" garden fertilizer consists of a 5-5-5 percent blend of organic nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. Its high phosphate content promotes root development for transplants. Plant the tomatoes. To protect vulnerable seedlings from bugs and critters, slip "collars" around the base of the plant. A styrofoam cup with the bottom pushed out works well. Place it over the plant and at least one inch into the soil. Then, water well. For a decorative look, and to retain moisture and discourage weeds, use a bark mulch. Healthy Tomato Growth Tomatoes need regular moisture to promote the strong root growth essential to high yield. A thorough watering is preferable to several brief ones. To stake or not to stake, to cage or not to cage will depend upon which tomatoes you are growing. Vigorous, large growing varieties need support for increased production and large fruits. Compact, patio- type varieties can be planted and left to grow and sprawl without supports, providing there is clean mulch covering the soil. Strips of worn sheets make excellent, if not beautiful, ties. Hands should be very clean before working with tomato plants, since it's relatively easy to transmit diseases from either the soil or other plants to tomatoes by touching them. When the first fruits have appeared and are about the size of a quarter, it is time to establish a bi-weekly fertilization program. Following the directions on the "Nature's Best" bag, work fertilizer into the surface of the soil in an area about 12 inches from the stalk. Pruning is not necessary. With a little attention to the care and feeding of your tomatoes, you can enjoy these glorious "love apples" through a long and bountiful season.

JUNE 18. 1992 Choose Painting Tools as Carefully as Paint No matter what kind of surface you're planning to coat, selecting the right applicator is just as important as choosing the right paint. The tools you use can mean the difference between success and failure, a difficult job or an easy one. Paint brushes are by far the most versatile of applicators but a degree of skill is required for good results. Since brushes are slow on large areas, most people prefer to use them primarily on trim work and irregular surface painting. Interestingly, the 'filaments' or painting part of the brush account for upwards of 80% of its cost. In turn, the amount, quality, blend and finishing of the filament are what effects the brush's performance as a painting tool. Filaments are either natural bristle or man-made polyester or nylon, each with its own unique attributes. Since bristle filaments are naturally porous, they're best used with chemical based coatings, including oil and alkyd paints and stains. Polyester and nylon are non-porous and therefore not adversely affected by any coating, whether chemical or water-based. The type of job will decide the size of brush you buy. For trim, use brush sizes from 25 to 30 mm; for small areas, 38 to 60 mm; and for large areas, 75 to 100 mm. Angular or flat sash brushes specially designed for cut-in use are available in a variety of sizes. This type of brush is a must when tight corner painting is part of the job. When choosing a brush, don't be tempted by so-called bargains — less expensive brushes are made by using less material. As a consequence, your job could require 25, 50 or even 80 percent longer than the same job with a top of the line brush. Paint rollers are the fastest and easiest paint applicators to use. Similar to the filament on brushes, the fabric or painting part of the roller accounts for the main part of its cost. Characteristics affecting the price and performance of rollers are fibre combinations, density, pile levels and fabric finishing. Synthetic fabrics are used extensively in paint roller manufacturing because of general advantageous properties, including the wide ranges of formulations, fabric finishings and fibre densities possible. As well, synthetic fabrics are generally unaffected by water or organic solvents. Consequently, most rollers can be used with all types of paints, stains and varnishes. To ensure best results are achieved with a roller, match the surface to be painted with the appropriate pile height. For example, for a semi-smooth exterior surface such as smooth concrete, select a pile height of 10 mm. For a rough surface such as stucco, choose a pile height from 15 to 20 mm. Or, for extra rough surfaces, including shakes and very rough concrete, choose a 25 to 30 mm pile. A variety of specialty brushes, rollers and other tools are available for specific tasks. For example, some coarse surfaces such as rough cedar require the tough durable filament of a whitewash brush. And although paint rollers are best known in their standard 190 and 240 mm widths, you can also get 75 mm rollers for use on small and trim areas. Two other specialty rollers are the foam wedge roller for painting corners in preparation for adjacent surface painting, and the sectioned pipe roller which is mounted on a flexible shaft and wraps itself around large pipes and other curved surfaces. Most roller handles are threaded for use with extension poles. One piece wooden poles and two piece telescopic poles offer convenient access to areas that are normally out of reach. This frequently eliminates the need for a, ladder which means a safer painting job with greater speed and mobility. Using a pole also allows for two handed painting which reduces fatigue on large projects. Many people are unaware that a special attachment to affix a brush on an extension pole is available for long-range edge and corner painting. One final tip: choose a paint tray with as large a capacity as possible, consistent with the work being done. This will minimize the chore of constant refills, thereby reducing chances for spilling.

Dear Bugged-By-Bunnies: Given half a chance, those cute animals become sneaky varmints who feast on the green vegetables growing in your garden and keep them from getting beyond the early stages of growth. To save your salad greens for two- footed nibblers, put up a 3- foot-tall fence made of 1-inch mesh chicken wire. Bury the chicken wire into the ground about 6 inches deep so bunnies can't burrow under the fence and steal your juicy greens. Dear John: How can I tell if insects are homesteading in my lawn? Dear Grass Rancher: The best way to find pests claiming squat ter's rights is to look very closely at your lawn. Two of the most common troublemakers are sod webworms and white grubs. To spot sod webworms in action, look for them after sundown on grass blades near the soil line, "toil can find the critters by carefully breaking apart the damaged areas with your fingers. Another way to bring sod webworms to the surface is to drench a square foot of grass with 1 gallon of soapy water.

JUNE 18. 1992 17 Each and everyday someone, somewhere finds a new and innovative use for easy-to-grow, multi-purpose herbs. In fact, there are nearly as many herbs as there are uses for them. Everyone knows that herbs are ideal for spicing up soups, stews, vinegars, jellies and relishes, and that the right herb can add zest to fish, meat and poultry. Quite frequently, a common herb is the "secret ingredient" your grandmother talked about at the dinner table. But herbs — actually parts of herbs, such as flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and bark — can be counted on for more than improving the flavor of food. Many doctors suggest eucalyptus herbal rubs or balms for their patients with strained muscles or mild back problems. Herbs often are used for cosmetic purposes or artistic endeavors. People love to drink chamomile or scented geranium herbal teas and unwind from a hard day's work in a relaxing bath accentuated with sweet flag or sweet violet. The appealing fragrance of dried herbs entices many either to buy or make their own potpourris, sachets and wreaths, which boast a long-lasting herbal aroma. Mint and rosemary are among the most popular herbs for this purpose. In fact, the only thing most people who fmd some use for herbs don't seem to know about them is that they are among the easiest of all plants to grow. Gardeners appreciate the variety of shapes, sizes and colors in which herbs come, and put them to use in decorative containers or rock gardens, or as groundcovers. When matched with annuals and perennials, herbs help make eye-catching additions to beds and borders. Many herbs spread quickly. A physical barrier, such as a landscape fabric, helps confine them. Some herbs take less effort to grow than others, so it's important to decide before starting how much effort you intend to put forth. If you have time to spend, begin from seed. Otherwise purchase started seedlings or rooted cuttings. CMAMOHll-6 HERBAL DELIGHT — Herbs are easy to grow and even easier to use around the home. SASft When planted, these tend to take root quickly, enabling the gardener to reap their benefits early. Planting seedlings is a relatively simple process. Most herbs prefer full exposure to sun, though some require shade. For instance, dill (Anethum graveolens), Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), chives (Allium schoenprasum), parsley (Petrosel- inum crispum), English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), and coriander (Corian- drum sativum) all thrive in full sun. Among the herbs that grow better in partial shade are mint (mentha spp.), tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus), chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). Herbs also vary as to their soil requirements. Some grow well in rich soil, others in moderately rich or sandy soil. And all have different watering needs. Specific planting directions should come with •the seedling package. If not, ask the nursery salesperson or contact'your local ex tension agent. Light fertilizing in the spring with an all-natural fertilizer high in nitrogen helps herbs get off to a good start, but over-fertilizing results in large plants with less flavor and reduced aroma. When planting seedlings between larger annuals or perennials, lay down a landscape fabric in order to limit the herbs' spreading capabilities. A superior fabric, such as WeedBlock from Easy Gardener, also moderates soil temperature, which helps conserve moisture. Also, Weed- Block is molded with thousands of tiny "micro-funnels" which allow air and water through while blocking out 90 percent of the sunlight needed for weed growth. Easy Gardener also produces White WeedBlock, a fabric with the same properties as WeedBlock, but which is white on top and black on the bottom. It's perfect for raising most herbs in the vegetable garden, as it blocks weeds and promotes plant photosynthesis by reflecting light to the underside of leaves. The reflected light also deters many unwanted shade-loving insects. Once your herbs are growing well, parts can be pruned as needed, as long as enough foliage remains to allow regeneration. Herbs are best pruned on a cool, shade-filled day. This enables the plant to recover before it must face a full sun again. Leaves for drying should be pruned to the plant's flowering. Toss away damaged or diseased leaves and wash the good ones in cool water. Store them on a tray or rack out of the sun. Too much light ruins the flavor and bleaches the color. Next, crush the dried leaves and store away from light, perhaps in a freezer, until needed. Herbs have been around for a million years, and hopefully will be for a million more. They're versatile and hardy, and with a little preparation, easy to grow. Whatever your need, there's bound to be an herb that's perfect for you.

JUNE 18. 1992 Recycling Turns Lawn Debris Into Valuable Mulch As the battle rages on about how to dispose of leaves, grass clippings and other yard waste, environmentally concerned homeowners have found an alternative to bagging lawn debris and leaving it curbside—recycling unwanted twigs and brush into nutrient-rich mulch. Mulch works wonders in the garden by helping to retain moisture and reducing soil erosion. Or it can be added to the soil as a natural, organic fertilizer. A good layer of mulch can help extend the growing season by a few weeks as well. And though it won't keep the ground from freezing, mulch will protect the roots of annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs. If recycling yard debris sounds like a backbreaking chore, you can rest easy. Versatile garden machines,, such as the Chipp'r/Shredd'r/Mulch'r and the Flow- tron electric Leaf Eater, both manufactured by Flowtron Outdoor Products, are easy and safe to use, and soon may be a necessary addition in every tool shed. These machines can be purchased at your local hardware store or home center. Leaf Disposal Bans At last count 10 states have banned the disposal of leaves or other types of yard waste. In addition, as many as 30 states have passed or are considering passing legislation to keep leaves and grass clippings out of public landfills. Garden debris alone accounts for an incredible 20 to 30 percent of our trash. The time definitely has come for gardeners to dig themselves out from under the waste-stream buildup. Shredding garden material is a snap with the Chipp'r/Shredd'r/Mulch'r. Perfect for small yards, the electric-powered model CS3000 uses a three-stage shredding system to chew up piles of lawn clippings, thatch, leaves and trimmings. A quick and efficient three-stage chipping system reduces twigs and branches up to two inches in diameter into attractive, uniformly-sized chips that can be placed in garden beds. You can recycle leaves for use as mulch as well. Simply rake up the leaves and feed them into a lightweight, inexpensive shredder, such as the Flowtron Leaf Eater (model LE700), which retails for approximately $99.00. Designed REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE — Use a Chipp T/Shredd'r/Mulch'r to recycle garder debris easily and safely. The machine reduces leaves, grass clippings and branches into nutrient-rich mulch, an ideal soil conditioner for annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs.

Then, spread the chopped leaves in a four-to six-inch layer around garden beds and under shrubs, hedges and trees. Chipping Away There are a variety of ways to use chips in the garden. They makedecorative pathways and borders in landscaped areas. In fact, many homeowners prefer them to gravel in driveways. A two- to four-inch layer of chips placed around new flower beds prevents weeds from germinating and eliminates the need to buy chemical weed killers. Recycled wood chips have a two-year life span before they begin to decompose. Generally, the harder the wood, the longer the chips will last. Even decomposing, mulch has value. It adds nutrients to the soil, makes it looser and more friable, enhances living conditions for beneficial microorganisms and helps prevent soil- born diseases from spreading. More and more homeowners, even those who don't yet have to, are turning to recycling. It's a responsible, cost-effective way to rid the yard of waste and put the materials to good use around your property.

JUNE 18. 1992 19 Dear John: Is it okay to corral annual and perennial flowers in the same area? Or do they fight one another? Dear Why-at-Herb: Perennials and annuals make fine partners in the flower garden. In fact, annuals can be planted in a perennial garden or border to change the look of the area from year to yean Annuals also come in handy after early flowering perennials fade in the spring. You can plant annuals to disguise the withering perennial bulbs and to extend the blooming season of the area. Dear John: Is it necessary to have my mower blade sharpened? Dear Sharp Eye: You might not think that soft grass can dull a metal mower blade, but it can. Especially in summer, grass can become tough and wiry and can dull the blade pretty fast. If your grass tips turn brown and are shredded after mowing, the blade should be sharpened. Here are some tips for sharpening a walk- behind mower blade: • First, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starts. • Wrap the blade with a heavy rag while unscrewing it. • Sharpen the blade with a file or grinding wheel, but don't hone it to a razor's edge. A thin edge will roll over, fray and get dull quickly. • Remove an equal amount of material from each side of the blade to maintain proper balance. • Check for balance by resting the mid-point of the blade on the edge of a ruler. • If the blade has been damaged, replace it. Dear John: How does a disease get started in a lawn? Dear Fungus Foothold: Lawn diseases are mostly of the fungus variety and can arrive in your lawn by way of birds, animals, people's shoes or windblown debris. Disease won't thrive in a healthy lawn. A weak lawn, on the other • hand, is a favorite hot spot for disease. AJso, a thatch layer of more than a "A. inch is an incubator for disease organisms. It's warm and moist and full of nutrients that don't get to grass roots. An overfed or underfed lawn also is a breeding place for disease as is a lawn that's watered too often'. With proper care, there's less chance of 'disease infecting your lawn. Free seminar gives home buyers tips SURREY - Fraser Valley Real Estate Board president, Christine Skaley, announced that the board is sponsoring another popular free public seminar entitled: "First Time Home Buyer".

Decide on the work to be .done before choosing a contractor. 2. Get referrals from local Building Associations, friends and neighbours and check this out. Get the contractor's business license number. Better Business Bureau reference and Home Builders' Association membership and check them out. 3. Get at least three written estimates for your project. The contractor should state in writing work to be done, materials to be used, length of project and price. 4. Obtain a written contract and guarantee indicating 7. contractor responsibilities, including materials and permits and it should describe the job completely. Contractor should maintain adequate public liability, property damage insurance and workers' compensation. The conn actor should obtain building permits and be available so that all work can be inspected by local building inspectors. If you must change your plans mid-project, remember that there may be additional costs. Be sure both you and your contractor agree on the additional work and cost. Don't forget to add insu lation while you're renovating. If interior space is at a premium or if you are residing your house, use taped Glasclad Exterior Sneathing under the siding for a more comfortable, draft-free environment. 9. Arrange a staggered payment plan over the span of the project, withholding 10 per cent in accordance with the Mechanics' Lien Act. 10. Pay only tor work completed to your satisfaction.

To help others get all those bags out of their cupboards, Irmgard is now making her patterns available to the public. Belle, who recycles as many things as she can, has changed from knitting children's clothing to knitting plastic household items. She designed a shopping carrier that can be knit from betwen 50 and 75 plastic bags. She also makes placemats, napkin rings and coasters. Belle cuts long one inch wide strips from plastic, bags and knits these into her plastic projects. The color combinations you choose will depend on the bags you have available," Belle says. "These items are strong and are cleaned by simply rinsing in cool water", she says.

Aldermen Muriel Arnason, Aubrey Searle and John Scholtens voted Monday night in opposition to a plan by the township to bulldoze the vacant building. "I am not comfortable about knocking something down in Brookswood," Scholtens commented. Searie said, he too, had "grave reservations" and failed to see the need for spending an estimated $142,000 on upgrading the building for future use. There would be many private groups in Brookswood that would be happy to continue using the building, he said. However, administrator Jim Godfrey said renovations costing perhaps as much as $l/4-million would be necessary in order to meet building code and safety requirements. The township could be liable for possible damages if these conditions were not met, he said. ^jE; To the three dissenting aldermen it just did not make any sense to destroy a building that could continue to have practical use for one form- of recreation or another. Searie pointed out that when the volunteer firemen - who recently moved into a brand new fire hall - still occupied the old building there were no problems encountered as they used it for private social functions as well. It will cost $14,235 to demolish ilie ball. GREAT GIFTS FOR ALL FATHERS!

JUNE 18. 1992 ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, Two weeks ago I met my best friend Freda (our friendship goes back to the fifties) in the mall in Langley. Naturally we went for coffee to catch up on gossip, etc. Freda told me about her little dog that she has had for 19 years. C should say that many times in the past she has phoned me saying her dog was getting so old she was thinking about having him put to sleep by her vet) Freda's story goes that one morning last month she came downstairs and found her dog lying on the floor. It wasn't moving but was staring at her like it was in real pain. She wrapped it up in a blanket, put jt on the front seat of her car and drove to her vet's office this time .Host^;; families sought WEST VANCOUVER - Nacel Canada, a non-profit organization, is in desperate need of B.C. host families for French students, ages 14 to 18 years. The first group of adolescents will be arriving from France on July 4 and wtl be staying here for four weeks, until August 1. The second group, a much larger group, anives August 1 and leaves August 29- This group also has three female teacher/ chaperones who also need host families. There is no remuneration for hosting these students other than adventure and friendship. They are here to immerse themselves in your language and culture and to just become another family member for a month, doing whatever your family is doing. Having* teenagers of your own, though preferred, is not a j necessity. Students and families are matched for similar interests, written references are taken on both students and host families. This year French families wil be hosting over 60 teenagers from B.C. Taste a "touch of France this summer and welcome a French teen into your family.

When she arrived at her vet's office and he examined her dog he told her that the animal had been dead since the. previous night. Well, when Freda got to that part I got a sudden case of the giggles, just imagining Freda patting and talking to a dead dog. She was horrified with me, grabbed her purse and stormed out of the coffee shop and by the way leaving me to pay the bill. Since then, after realizing I shouldn't have laughed at that particular moment, I have been trying to phone Freda to apologise but as soon as she hears my voice she hangs up. What can I do to make amends? '5$*i %Qwl Signed: Marie. Dear Marie, I must say after reading your letter that I had a few giggles too. It sounds too much like black humour to me and that always makes me laugh. However, it is heart breaking when someone loses a pet and my heart does go out to your friend Freda. A dog who lives to the ripe old age of 19 must have had a very peaceful happy life and it is to Freda' credit that her animal lasted that long. Try writing to her, with an apology included and invite her for lunch. Maybe even suggest helping her, when she is ready, to find another dog to fill the empty space the last one left. As- time goes by her loss will lessen and she will realize that it is not something to lose a good friend over. Good luck. Dear Annabelle, While enjoying a pleasant barbecue with my parents at their five-acre spread in your fair city, I was both alarmed and surprised when . my normally calm and gentle father picked up the family cat and threw it onto the red-hot coals. The cat, of course, let out a hideous shriek and fled the flames, disappearing in a smoking cloud of its own fur as it scurried for the bushes. Needless to say, the dinner was ruined as there was singed fur stuck to all the burgers. What, I ask, do you think of that? Signed: Worried About Father Dear Worried, I suggest you get the cat to a vet, your father to Alcoholics Anonymous and .yourself to a different barbecue next time around.

Recent additional funding from the Ministry of Health has allowed the hospital to open 10 Rehabilitation beds on the fourth floor and hire additional physio and occupational therapists. The focus of the program will be to help patients receive ongoing rehabilitation therapy so they can return home to their families sooner and continue their therapy as outpatients. "The program is very much a team approach," said Ann Lysaght, Acting Dkector of Physiotherapy. "A multi-disciplinary team assesses and evaluates the patients needs and then designs a treatment program. Patients will have their days planned for them, including dressing each morning, working with therapists and completing various tasks and exercises on their own." The team includes: physicians, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech thera- Kwantlen vice president chosen SURREY - Kwanden College president Adrienne MacLaughlin announced the appointment of Jacqie Thachuk as vice president education/academic & applied studies.

The program will be of particular benefit to patients recovering from strokes or some other neurological condition as well as those with severe rheumatic conditions. "Occupational therapists play a key role in the program", said Verna Dick, Dkector of Occupational Therapy. They assess and retrain patients to learn how to do daily living activities such as feeding, dressing, personal hygiene, and home making abilities such as cooking and cleaning." They also evaluate the home environment to determine what needs to be done to make that environment safer and more conducive to the patient's continuing rehabilitation. For example, does a railing have to be added in the bathroom or scatter rugs removed? Patients can participate in the in-hospital program for a maximum of three months: Usually, sooner than that, the patient will be able to go home and continue to receive therapy as an outpatient. Eligible patients include those who are motivated to participate in their rehabilitation, able to follow one step verbal commands or gestures and able to physically participate in activities. Patients are discharged once they have achieved their optimal level of functioning arid a discharge plan is developed by the multidisciplinary team in consultation with patients and thek families. 10% OFF ALL SUNGLASSES GLASSES • FRAMES • REPAIRS 859-7115 DESIGNER FRAMES NO G.S.T.

JUNE 18. 1992 23 'Kootenai Brown' comes to small screen VANCOUVER - In Australia, it's not easy for Canadian-born Tom Burlinson to walk down a city street without being pestered by autograph hunters. The 36-year- old actor, whose new movie "The Legend of Kootenai Brown" appears on pay TV in Canada this month, is a famous face in his adopted homeland down under and he's rapidly becoming an international film star. "The Legend of Kootenai Brown" appears on Super- channel on June 12, 17, 22 and 28 in western Canada. It has also been released on video cassette this month. His fame didn't mean a thing to the children he recently befriended in Ethiopia while making a film for Australian televison on World Vision's work in Africa. Burlinson, with infinite patience, spent hours trying to communicate with 10-year-old twins, Asmelash and Alemitu, whose father had made a difficult switch from subsistence farmer to successful fisherman. Burlinson spoke no Amharic and the children spoke no English, but they became friends by drawing pictures in the sand of a lakeshore beach in southern Ethiopia. And on the second day of filming, the children were rushing to greet Burlinson and hold his hand. To them, he was just a nice, friendly man, not a film star. "The children are beautiful, I loved spending time with them," said Burlinson in an interview at his Ethiopian hotel room, little more than a concrete cell with a bucket of water for washing. This was a big change from the luxury hotels where Burlinson usually stays but he just laughed about the difference. He said the only habit he couldn't break was expecting to check phone machine messages as soon as he opened the door. In this hotel, there wasnt even a phone. When he was asked to be the featured star in "Children of the World" for World Vision, Burlinson said he'd never even visited the Third World, except to change planes in cities like Bangkok. He knew it would be very different from making "The Man From Snowy River" in the 1980s, which became the highest grossing film ever released in Australia. And it would be a complete contrast to his latest feature film "The Legend of Kootenai Brown" which was made in Canada, the country he left at the age of two with his globe-trotting English parents. "But I thought it would be well worth doing and good experience," said Burlinson. ""So I agreed to do it though I'd never been to Africa before." After a week on the road Burlinson was sure he'd made ther right decision. "I'd seen film footage of the famine in Ethiopia in 1984 and I was expecting to see similar things on this trip, but I've been surprised at all the happy, smiling faces and the land is much greener than I expected," he said. As for the World Vision project he was visiting in Ethiopia — the farmers becoming fishermen — Burlinson was delighted with its success. "The story is so positive and I think it's terrific the way World Vison uses local people, not foreigners, to work for them," he said. "You can see the good that's being done here. Before I left Australia people asked me questions about whether money donated here is doing any good. Now I can tell people I've seen Hospital society to meet LANGLEY - The annual general meeting of the Langley Memorial Hospital Society will be held at D.W.

It's helping people to make important changes in their lives." Burlinson, who has retained his Canadian citizenship although he now has Australian as well, is a bachelor. He's therefore not used to playing with children for hours at a time but he did so tirelessly in Ethiopia. "This may be the first time I've done this sort of thing but it won't be the last," he said. Mennonites send aid to Yugoslavia CLEARBROOK - Mennonite Central Committee is accepting donations for relief response in war-torn Yugoslavia. The relief and development organization has given $35,000 to help Croatian refugees. The money is being used to provide clothing, food and medicine to Croatian refugees. The money has been taken from MCC's disaster response fund, a fund which is used to respond to urgent needs around the world. Additionally, MCC has given $20,000 to the Canadian Baptist Federation to assist with thek food response to Croatia. The money will be used by a Crotatian Baptist relief organization called "My Neighbor" to buy flour, beans and cooking oil for some of the estimated 700,000 refugees in the country. The food wil be distributed by local church committees in 12 Croatian towns. As well, MCC is planning a further substantial response to needs in Yugoslavia. Plans wil be finalized this month. Donations should be designated for Yugoslavian relief. Mennonite Central Committee BC, PO Box 2038, Clearbrook, B.C. V2T3T8. I t^k fflCOMEi*i jf/tt if a Moving World!

They were asked to help set the party's official platform for the coming federal election. Randy White, newly elected Reform candidate for Fraser Valley West, chaired the meeting. Says White, "I would like to invite all our constituency, whether they are party members or not, to attend this meeting. Our aim as a party is to have full, open participatory democracy in this riding. The wishes of our voters must be heard, and meetings like this provide the forum where it can happen."

Nineteen planks have been proposed, and .these formed the basis of discussion. Local input will be tabulated and forwarded to Party offices in Calgary by June 30. All other Reform constituency associations across Canada will do the same, and thek recommendations will come before the Reform Party annual general meeting in Winnipeg on October 23-25. At the Winnipeg meeting, the delegates will consider these recommendations, and from them create the party election platform. "Now, that's true grassroots democracy!" said White. Fraser Valley West expects to send 19 delegates from this constituency to the Winnipeg meeting. Chairing the constituency policy meeting was White's fkst official function since his election. Taking his first small dig at the opposition he says, "I would also invite the members of the other local political parties to attend, for two reasons: one is that they have been borrowing a lot of our party's ideas lately, and we probably have a lot more they could use. Also, in thek ads and letters to the editor, they seem to be getting the Reform Party message all garbled up. We'd love to have them attend so they could get their facts straightened out a bit."

Environment Minister John Cashore told the annual B.C. Wildlife Federation convention funding has been approved for a new undercover section to help uniformed officers in their batde against poachers. "I feel very strongly about poaching," Cashore said. He noted he has not been an active hunter since his youth, but it is clear to him that, "there continues to be a need for increased enforcement. This represents the first major step taken by government since 1972." In addition to the new covert- operations section, Cashore told the 104 voting delegates representing more than 35,000 hunters, anglers and conservationists from across the province that uniformed officer numbers will be increased by 15 full-time officers and five support staff. The new recruits will boost province-wide conservation officer numbers to 165. The 15 new positions are for regular uniformed staff, Cashore said, not the undercover section, although he refused to divulge how many officers will serve in the new section. "For obvious reasons, we have to be very careful about what we say. All I can say at this point is that we will be targetting specific areas and that we will be coordinating these efforts with our existing resources." Statistics gathered by the branch indicate a "dramatic" increase in the numbers of poachers over the last few years, notably cases dealing with the illegal trade in animal parts, Haliday said. "Bears, for instance, are in trouble world-wide. There is a strong trade in bear parts, especially in the Asian community. Bear populations are down in many parts of of the world as a result. Naturally, the trade concentrates wherever there are lots of bears ... and our field inspections indicate the illegal trade in B.C. is increasing." Hunters legally harvest about 4,000 bears annually in B.C. "Our populations are very able to sustain that harvest," Haliday said, but the management system breaks down when poachers enter the picture, especially those motivated by profits. "We are concerned about both grizzly and black bear populations." The problem is intensified, he said, because "the people who do it as a business are very aware of any weakness in the law." Catching and convicting professional poachers has been extremely difficult, but "now that we have our own undercover force I know we'll be successful," Haliday said. Lower Mainland Conservation Officer Service supervisor Dave Elliot registered a sense of relief the covert-operations section will soon be on hand. "Uniformed officers can only do so much because we're known. This will be a real help. It's something we've been trying to get for the last 15 to 20 years." OTTAWA - The economy is getting stronger, but we aren't out of the woods yet, and may not be for some time to come, according to a new federal study. The report states that thanks to high unemployment rates, like the 11 percent rate in March, both federal and provincial governments will carry the burden of the 1990-91 recession for several more years to come. "This effect could persist through the first half of the decade as the unemployment rate is not expected to decline rapidly in the coming years," the report states.

Munro, chairman of the Forest Alliance of B.C., told livestock producers at the 64th annual meeting of the B.C. Catdemen's Association here that both industries are beset by "kooks, terrorists, an unsympathetic media and an uncaring and uneducated public." Calling on his long experience in the forest sector, Munro focused on threats facing that industry. He said livestock producers should be aware that they would likely be the next targets of radical environmental and animal rights groups. "These kooky groups, 'Cattle Free in '93' and 'No Moo in '92' are terrorists and must be dealt with," Munro said. He noted that American animal rights activists had been distributing pamphlets in the southern part of the province telling people how they could shoot catde as a political act - and get away with it. Stressing that cattlemen must become pro-active in addressing the complex issues facing their industry, Munro told the 500 delegates that the world is changing dramatically and one of the best defenses is to stay in touch with other related industries and organizations. He added it was vital that producers be well informed about what is happening in other industries and other parts of the world and be aware of how changes in another sector could affect the cattle business.

ALOERGROVE, B.C. NDP must 'turn off the water' VICTORIA - Official opposition energy, mines and petroleum resources critic Daniel Jarvis is demanding the government shut the tap off on any additional bulk water exports to the United States from the Columbia River. "It is time for this NDP government to stand up to the United States and categorically say, 'NO' to any request for additional Columbia River water now stored in the Mica, Arrow and Duncan reservoirs," demands Jarvis. "Water is a limited resource and there are significant environmental implications to providing more water to the US." American officials have indicated the US will want additional water beyond the Columbia River Treaty obligations. "The External Affairs Department in Ottawa refuses to stand up to the United States and fight for this province and our water resources by reviewing the terms of the Columbia River Treaty and take a tougher stand against present US demands. If Ottawa is not prepared to deal with the water supply problems of eastern British Columbia, then the provincial government must intercede now," said Jarvis. "This is not just an environmental issue, this is the prelude to a dangerous precedent that will affect the Free Trade Agreement and -our children's water resources in this province for years to come." Jarvis went on to say: "Any bulk water shipment or transfer to the United States, regardless of previous agreements, is not acceptable or applicable in view of the subsequent Free Trade Act foisted on this province by the Mulroney government."
