EX-HUSBAND CHARGED WITH MURDERS Victim feared for her life ABBOTSFORD - The woman, who was apparently killed by her ex-husband, feared for her safety. Miriam Fournier, 24, and her boyfriend Robert Vaughn-Hul- bert, 20, were found dead at Fournier's home in the 32100 block Austin Avenue just before Midnight Wednesday, October 4. Her three young children were asleep upstairs. Neighbours said they heard screams about 11:45 p.m. Police arrived on the scene within minutes and arrested Fournier's estranged husband, Guy Fournier, 40, at the scene. Vaughn-Hulbert was pronounced dead at the scene, and Miriam died of her wounds in hospital. Fournier has appeared in provincial court charged with two counts of flrst degree murder. Police say that Miriam Fournier had concerns for her safety, and had called them several times in the months before her murder.

ALDERGROVE - Native land claims is potentially the biggest challenge for the next provincial government, says Dr. John Twidale, a nominated candidate for the Reform Party of BC in Fort Langley-Aldergrove. "There is no place for apartheid in Canada. I have lived in South Africa and seen the native homelands and townships and I would never want to see that in. our home and native land," he told the second annual general meeting of the constituency last week at the Legion Hall. Twidale said that Reform B.C.'s position is that natives should be given title to native reserve lands presently held in trust by the federal government's Dept. of Indian Affairs, and native self-government should be of municipal-style government in style and scope, witfijfinancial support from Ottawa. "There has to be one law for all Canadians," he said. "We aim to integrate, not segregate native Indians. There is no place for a country within a country, whether it be Quebec within Canada or 50 native Indian countries within B.C." Twidale said that Canadians Please see page 4... FREE!

The critical findings of the survey, which coincide with a similar survey done in Matsqui in 1992, is that 83% of those surveyed favour the legalization of suites if the home owners would be required to live in the house. Other concerns were that owners pay for a fair share of municipal costs such as garbage pick-up, sewer, and water and provide adequate parking facilities. In addition 60% of respondents felt that neighbourhood input should be required. Councillors around the table had comments regarding the survey, and Councillor Ken Funk asked what council plans to do with the results. He suggested that regardless of the outcome of the pfwltc hearings, the people should still he allowed to make die final decision in the form of a referendum. He also questioned the accuracy of the survey and said he is surprised at the overwhelming support for secondary suites. "If the results are true, why have the meetings?" he asked. "Just pursue the (creation of) bylaws. On the other hand, this is a democracy. Legalizing suites will change the community forev er and the issue should go to referendum." Mayor George Ferguson said that if, through the meetings, it appears that only 51% are in favour of suites, then it should go to referendum, but if a clear majority, such as 65%, are in favour, then council should hegin putting bylaws in place as quickly as possible. However Councillor Simon Gibson said that die issue of a referendum should not be used as a delay tactic or as a way for council to remove itself from a controversial topic. Councillor Chuck Wiebe, who has opposed the idea of legalizing suites from the very beginning, asked what council is getting into. "We already have a bylaw in place that is much simpler to enforce. This is a very difficult route we arc planning to take," he said. " We are kidding ourselves if we think people will take out permits for suites. "If we do this, we should localize it as much as possible, to the point where if someone wants a suite they should have to convince their neighbour that they should have a suite, and have him indicate to council that it's okay." Councillor Brad Boyse went on to say that illegal suites are unenforccble, but there is a clear need for proper suites as affordable housing. "We have to be careful or we will have the same problems with Please see page 4... Pay-as-we-go favored by finance committee LANGLEY - Copies of the draft long-term financial plan, prepared by the Budget and Finance Committee, are now available to the public for comment, prior to its final submission to council after Oct. 30. Aldergrove residents can pick one up at the Kinsmen Community Centre, 26770 - 29 Avenue or call the committee office, 533-6151. Committee chair Lynn Jackson said they have "recognized the importance of public input" in the 18-month process, and now that it's completed to their satisfaction they want to be sure that taxpayers have their say on die final document. "This plan identifies the principles and policies that the committee is now recommending should be in place for the township to be fiscally responsible in the future," said Jackson. Proposed policies include tax increase limits of 75% of inflation rates, expansion of user fees, and that "the existing pay-as-you-go policy be maintained" on general capital projects. For water and sewer projects, it's recommended that debt financing be used to a lesser degree and that.capital reserve fluids be established. "The committee has received a strong message from citizens that spending levels should be kept under control and that.development should not outpace the pro-' vision of services," said the report. "The committee recognizes that citizens are demanding value for money... therefore, government must respond by being innovative and creative in its approach to delivering goods and services... competition and choice provide vehicles that encourage efficiency and effectiveness." .- <•-" . y.- y y ,-: ... - ■y\i,L^^,^^^^!*^3c^^-\^^ PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C.

OCTOBER 11.1995 VANCOUVER - Comprehensive enforcement efforts and a stepped-up campaign to involve the public in reporting fisheries violations has resulted in improved enforcement of fisheries regulations on the Fraser River, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans announced Oct. 5. Despite relatively high compliance, fishery officers laid a total of 605 charges from the beginning of the 1995 fishing season to late September. During their investigations, enforcement staff checked a total of 16,076 individuals in the aboriginal, commercial and recreational fisheries. The number of persons checked also included those involved with processing. In addition, the department laid 15 habitat-related charges in the Fraser River watershed. To improve surveillance, DFO optimized the use of marine services and charter patrol vessels as well as overhead flights, and worked closely with aboriginal fishery officers and the Canadian Coast Guard. The RCMP and provincial conservation officer services also provided strong support to the department, which in turn helped promote better con- FIRST AID TIPS!

For the 1995 season, the department conducted 1,294 vehi- cle patrols, augmented by 798 boat patrols and 73 air patrols during fisheries openings and closures on the Fraser River. The majority of violations occurred in the recreational fishery, where a total of 408 salmon and shellfish- related charges were laid. A total of 142 charges were laid in the aboriginal fisheries for salmon and shellfish offences,.with a further 37 recorded in the commercial fisheries sector. Stu Cameron, DFO's chief of conservation and protection, noted that a strengthened enforcement capacity as well as public support resulted in an effective and much improved enforcement presence on the Fraser. "Without question the high response and information we received from the public this year proved invaluable in enabling us to set priorities and make the optimum use of our ■ enforcement resources." The number of reports made by the public to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' toll-free line for the month of August, for example, increased by 140 per cent over the same time period last year. A total of 251 calls were logged on the department's Observe, Record, Report Une at 1- 800-465-4336. One hundred and eighty six of these calls were fisheries related, while the remaining 65 calls involved conservation reports on wildlife. Nearly 35 per cent of the reports involved salmon, followed by shellfish at 18 per cent and habitat at seven per cent.

They include 160 in Greater Vancouver and 116 in Greater Victoria. In addition, 2,837 motorists - 1,856 in Greater Vancouver and 981 in Greater Victoria - have received a 24-hour roadside prohibition in the special campaign being conducted by municipal police forces. "Police are continuing to see very few signs of drinking driving, which indicates the program is having the desired effect of removing this driving menace from our roads," Pement said. The crackdown is having success in other areas of police enforcement. During the past week, two people stopped at the roadchecks were arrested for drug possession, one for liquor possession, and two on outstanding warrants. One person was found driving a stolen vehicle and another was found in possession of stolen property worth more than $5,000. Police also issued a total of 183 traffic violation tickets. Sleep walking LONDON - A man accused of indecently assaulting his 20-year- old neighbour as she lay in bed, was cleared after a judge accepted that he had been sleep-walking at the time. Stephen Stott, 40, a former seaman, walked into Samantha Wellsby's flat, put his hand under the bedclothes and touched her, Worcester Crown Court was told. Judge Ian Morris recorded a verdict of not guilty after being told that the Crown Prosecution Service had decided to offer no evidence against Stott. "This was genuine sleepwalking. It is accepted that you were not criminally to blame," Judge Morris said. Adrienne Bouter, a nine-year asthmatic, gets a flu vaccine shot from nurse Veda Peters. The B.C. Lung Association urges the elderly and people with respiratory problems to get flu vaccine at their local health unit. High-risk groups warned about flu VANCOUVER - Warning against one of the most contagious human viruses, the British Columbia Lung Association has issued a flu alert urging high risk groups to be vaccinated soon against this serious respiratory infection. The flu vims puts people over age 65 at risk, as well as adults and children with respiratory problems such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. For this group, the virus can be life- threatening and require hospitalization," says Kelly Ablog-Morrant, B.C. Lung Association director of health, education and program services." For healthy adults and children, influenza can be a moderate ly severe illness, widi symptoms diat include sore throat, coughing, fever and body aches and pains. The flu season begins in October, and the vaccine is available from health units and physicians throughout the province. Ablog-Morrant warned early immunization is important, as the vaccine takes about two weeks to become effective. She added, "It does not prevent a flu infection completely, but reduces the impact of the infection and makes it go away faster and with less misery."

Re Waiting! ^T^ 4 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, OCTOBER 11.1995 Bearing the loonie It's hard to say whether switching the two dollar denomination from a bill format to coin will be beneficial. According to federal officials, the cost of minting the new $2 coin is three times the cost of that for creating a brown bill. But, the coin, unveiled recently, will last 20 times as long as the paper money. And diat, says Minister David Dingwall, will save Canadians $250 million over 10 years. Think about it Bigotry may be roughly defined as the anger of men who have no opinions. - G.K.Chesterton Violent offenders to pay VICTORIA - BC Reform leader Jack Weisgerber has urged the federal government to immediately close a loophole in the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, which allows violent offenders to avoid paying civil court judgements to victims. In a letter to federal Justice Minister Allan Rock and Minister of Industry John Manley, Weisgerber said that it is outrageous and unacceptable that people, who have been found liable of assault and other violent crimes, can escape paying civil court judgements to victims by declaring bankruptcy. "The federal government has been sitting on its hands for far too long on this issue," Weisgerber said. "Despite the efforts of New Westminstcr-Burnaby Reform MP Paul Forseth and odiers to close this loophole in the Bankruptcy Act, victims of violent crime are still waiting for the federal government to protect their legal Claim to judgements awarded through civil courts. "Individuals who have been legally ordered to pay damages to their victims are continuing to skip out of their debts simply by declaring bankruptcy. The existing loophole is especially hard on women, who discover the hard way dial civil court judgements for sexual assault and spousal abuse often aren't worth the paper they are written on." Manley has promised to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act to clean up many of its shortcomings, but to date, no action has been taken to amend section 178, to include civil court judgements in die list of debts diat are not discharged when a person declares bankruptcy. "It's not just the criminal jus- " tice system that's letting violent criminals off the hook without so much as a slap on the wrist, it's, also the civil justice system," Weisgerber said. 'To put it mildly, it's a warped system that lets individuals, who have been ordered by the courts to make payments for physical assault, to escape their punishment by declaring bankruptcy.. They can't avoid paying their traffic fines by crying poor, so why in heaven's name are they allowed to run away from the debts they have been ordered to pay to their victims?" The main complaint about the coins, from the point of view of those of us who use money, is diat it will add another cumbersome piece to our already bulging pockets. We may wind up like England where, if you have several pound sterling worth of coins in your pocket, you have several pounds of change in your pocket What it will come down to in the end, though, is that we are saving money, something we all keep asking Ottawa to do. In that case, we' 11 just have to cinch our belts and bear the weight of the added coins. At least until the government empties our pockets for us. A show to remember Editor, The Star, Sir, I wish to thank you and the Aldergrove Star for the opportunity you gave Phyllis and I to attend the Coliseum, Oct. 6. The Bands of the Black Watch and Royal Cavalry presented a superb program of military music and precision marching, an evening long to be remembered. BILL FRANKLIN Aldergrove Reform suggests Natives have municipal powers on reserves From front... must give the native population their dignity of home and land ownership, and the responsibility that comes with ownership. 'It is more than most non-native Canadians can hope for in this economy, to own your own home and land, mortgage-free, courtesy of the federal and provincial governments," he said. Twidale, who is a local veterinarian, believes that fisheries should come under provincial jurisdiction and B.C. should be given control of its coastal fishery, that enough fish must be allowed to pass up the Fraser and other rivers and that natives must be allowed to catch fish for food and ceremonial purposes as decided by the Supreme Court, but when large numbers of salmon are running the commercial fishery must be open to all fishermen, native and non-native alike. "Fish caught and sold for food and canning is commercial fishery, with one law for all." He said he would push the federal government for a change to the Young Offenders Act Violent offenders should be raised to adult court with adult sentences. Sentences should be tougher and parole should not be automatic after one third sentence. Parole board officials should be accountable for their bad decisions. As for the gun control law, he said this was a disaster. "The place for stronger laws is in the illegal use of a firearm in a criminal offence. This should carry an automatic prison term." Twidale stressed that Reform BC will have fixed election dates, free votes in the Legislature, initiatives from constituents, referendums and recall of MLA's, promising a balanced budget in Reform's first year of office and target major expenses of health and education to deliver better services to the patients and students, not to layers of bureaucracy. He would scrap the New Direction on health care and reduce the number of school districts. Executive officers and board of directors appointed are president Robert Kearl, vice-president Sam Omelaniec, treasurer Bud Allen and Secretary Richard Anderson. Directors are Elmer Borgal, Wayne Brunt, Rick Cowan, Sharon Cowan, Pamela Omelaniec and Dennis Primmett. Retiring director, Harvey Schultz was thanked for his past support. Eric Bysouth and Sam Omelaniec form the nominations committee. Suite issue goes to hearings From front... enforcement as we are having right now," he said. "The bylaws have to be enforceable and the penalty should be high, like $10,000, to stop illegal suites." Gibson moved to amend the motion and remove the option of allowing the public to discuss suites being allowed in single family zones 'by right as a permitted use.' After some discussion as to what 'by right' meant, the amendment failed with only Funk, Wiebe and Gibson in favour. The motion to accept the survey and move on to public information meetings was carried with Funk, Wiebe and Gibson opposed. Other survey results included 82% of respondents wanting suites limited to one per house, and 68% wanting the city to enforce the current bylaw and remove existing illegal secondary suites. Oidy 34% of homeowners said they would have a suite in their house now or in the future, but 74% said they would not be opposed to their neighbour having a suite. Other comments from these surveyed include: Three or four families in a house is not fair; Parking on the street should not be allowed; It's okay to help pay off the mortgage, but not if the owner is just getting rich; Neighbourhoods should vote; Maintain the property and keep it clean; Not too many suites in one block; and Family members only.

The Women's History Network of B.C., in partnership with the UCFV History Department, the Women's Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, the Ministry of Human Resources' Women's program, the MSA Museum and the UCFV Fine Arts Department, will display an art exhibit celebrating Women's History Month (October) and WHN/B.C.'s first annual conference, Oct. 13 and 14. The first WHN/B.C. general meeting events include a Friday night wine and cheese video festival at historic Clayburn Village, followed by the conference and annual general meting at the UCFV Abbotsford campus on Saturday. Sessions feature a host of speakers from various provinces, discussing a range of issues involving women's history. The art exhibit serves as a complement to the conference and its attempt to enhance interest and activity in women's history across B.C. WHN/B.C. hopes to promote, through visual experience, an historical awareness and understanding of women's lives - of their struggle for equality and self-definition. The exhibit will feature a number of British Columbian artists including Mar Trinidad (Vancouver), Mia Tremblay (Vancouver), Sheryl McDougald (Vancouver), Rhonda Friesen (Mission), Regina Dalton (Abbotsford), Core Mott (Pender Island), Edith Krause (Langley), Tracy Tobin (Vancouver), and Kim Polack (Chilliwack). The exhibit will also feature a local women's history timeline, loaned by the MSA Museum and work by a UCFV Fine Arts student' The show will run to October 18 at the University College of the Fraser Valley Gallery (Abbotsford - Building B). A reception will be held on Wednesday, October 11, 6 to 8 pm. For information contact Jaclyn Rea, 854-1022. 1993. Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is appealing the Oct. 10 conviction, which threw out other counts of criminal mischief. The judge said, "This is to send a message, diat Canadian citizens cannot take die law into their own hands to interfere with foreign overfishing. Some may say that (Watson) is a patriot, but this is simply the breaking of the law, and no Canadian has the right to take the law into their own hands." The court did not allow evidence or testimony regarding the Estai seizure, initiated by fisheries minister Brian Tobin in 1994, which saw the Canadian government seizing foreign trawlers at gunpoint outside the 200-mile limit, arresting the crews and confiscating their fish and nets. "We managed to halt the rape of the Grand Banks for a day and sent a foreign fleet packing," said Lisa Distcfano, Watson's wife and a director of Sea Shepherd International. "Paul is being vilified for doing what Canada could not do, and'Brian Tobin is a hero for posing for die media and pretending to do what we did... We arc in shock." "We went out there to protect fish," said Watson from prison. "All of Canada's breast-thumping about getting tough on overfishing by foreign trawlers did not remove a single trawler from the Grand Banks; it came out in court that we drove off an entire Cuban fleet." Overfishing is a current international crisis, with 17 of the world's major fisheries listed by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization as "depleted" or otherwise below sustainable levels.

They had a 5 win, 2 loss and a tie record. AH the games were close, competitive and well played for a team that has just started playing together this year. In the eight games played, everybody has had a part in die scoring, and this shows that a team effort is being put forward by the boys. The defense is playing well in front of the goalies as well as getting a few shots on net. This is making the goal tending job a bit easier. Both goalies have made some very good saves. Rookies win a streak By JIM SUTHERLAND ALDERGROVE - The first year Aldergrove Spartans Atom football team continued their surprising underdog drive to the playoffs on Sunday with a convincing 44-6 win over the Delta Rams. A powerful Spartans offense scored on the opening play and maintained control of the ball throughout the entire contest. The offensive line of Cale Staden, Jeff Wilson, Nicolaus Knudsen, Kyle Brett and Danny McArthur dominated the line of scrimmage to allow over 300 yards rushing by Matt Panniter, Greg Dahl and QB Keidi Sweeten. A solid Spartan defense contributed to the scoring with a Matt Panniter touchdown off a fumble recovery, and linebacker Curtis Soanes added a 2-point sack in the end zone. With only four games remain-, ing, the Spartans' next contest against the #1 -ranked Langley Thunder promises to be the game of the season. With playoff standings for both Langley area teams on the line next Sunday, a hard fought batde is anticipated. Become a Big Brother The Aldergrove area is in urgent need of Big Brothers.

The next eight games or so are going to be tiring games, and this is where we should see some tougher action, as everyone will have their teams picked. This year the Pee Wee "B" Bruins have a new look in all departments. The head coach is Danny Thomson, we are pleased with the enthusiasm that Danny brings to the team. George Fournier and Phil Turnbull are assisting Danny in die coaching and with the knowledge that these three have our boy will be well coached. Ralph McKinnon is taking on the managing duties. Here is a list of all the players on the Pee Wee "B" Bruins team. Shaun Sieffert, Jamie MacKay, Kyle Olinek, Amand Syvia, Shane Watson, Danny Thomson, Darcy Benson, Jashua JSukkau, and Ricky Morrison are the forward lines. The defense are Darryl MacDonald, Cory McKinnon, Wes Vanovershot,Greg Founder, Zach Hogan, and Russell McKinlay with our goaltending duties being handled by Cannello Bruss- ese and Jason Meier. The team sponsor is G&R Garage Door Inc. this year along with the parents, so please do what you can to support them. Thanks for your support in coining and watching the game, as this means a lot to the boys as well as die coaching staff.

OCTOBER 11.1995 Bruins bottle boost Blazers blazed by Flyers By JOHN PARLEY ALDERGROVE - The Western Line Painting Pee Wee A Bruins kicked off the count down to the big bottle drive on Oct. 14 by splitting a pair of games with Cloverdale on Oct. 4 and 5. In Cloverdale, Oct. 4, the Bruins dropped a 5—4 decision, allowing the Cloverdale squad to score the winning goal with only 9 seconds left in the game. The Bruins jumped out to a 2-0 lead as Ryan Castcllo hammered in Matt Kicth's rebound after solid Bruins forechecking. Josh MacKnee tallied the second goal, a shorthandcd marker following some hard work by Matt Roberts. After Cloverdale narrowed the count 2-1 on a high slap shot, Mark Cassibo closed out the first period, scoring as Mike Roberts made a nice pass, put the rubber on Mark Cassibo's stick and Mark made no mistake. The Bruins fourth goal came on another outstanding effort by Mike Roberts, as Mike stole the puck from the Cloverdale defence and put it in the far side. The Bruins made some costly defensive lapses and the Cloverdale squad took full advantage, scoring the last 3 goals to steal the victory. From Ihe press box: Aron Slagman went the distance in the Bruins net and was called upon to make some big saves. He was given little chance on those that beat him. The Bruins defence, with only Steven Schultz back from last years team, continues their steady improvement. The effort and determination is there - all we need is more experience and practice to bring about the consistency. The return match-up in Aldergrove Thursday was more of the same between these two teams. Mike Roberts sent Mark Cassibo around the Cloverdale defence, and Mark turned on the burners to beat the Cloverdale defence and score. Mark's goal was sandwiched between two Cloverdale scores, and the first period ended 2-1. The Bruins reversed the numbers in the second period by outscoring die visitors 2-1. Matt Roberts made a goal mouth pass across to Josh MacKnee for the first goal. Marc Windle also drew a hard earned assist on the play. The Bruins, allowed the Cloverdale centrcman to walk in unmolested from the face off to regain Uie visitors one goal edge, but Mike Roberts knotted the score, as he beat the Cloverdale goalie with a high shot to the stick side. The Bruins banged in the winner with 8:10 left in the third period. Ryan Castello found the back of the net after a scramble at the Cloverdale goal. Josh MacKnee assisted on the play. Final score Aldergrove 4 - Cloverdale 3. Musings: The Bruins continue to keep the opposition off balance with steady in-your-face play. All for one and one for all - 17 guys going 100%. This team is a treat to watch - home games are Thursdays at 8:15 pm. Come on out! Davis Parley received a match penalty late in the first period. This followed a match he had at home with his older brother earlier in the day (no decision - pecking order remains the same), after which big brother reported he used unfair tactics in that one too. The Bruins fundraising campaign kicks off this Saturday, Oct. 14 with a bottle drive. The kids will be calling. There will also be a drop off at the Aldergrove Arena between 10 am and 2 pm. Please help out as the team requires funds for ice rentals, tournaments etc. Donations gratefully accepted. The Fraser Valley Old Timers recorded their 312lh consecutive sellout. One long time fan recalled that he was at the last game the Fraser Valley captain was seen in his own end of the rink - February 1988. The captain refuted that, stating he broke bis leg just inside his own blueline in 1990, so the fail had to be out by at least two years. Bulletin: Just as we go to press. The Star has just learned of two offers to buy the Fraser Valley Old Timers Hockey Club. A spokesperson for the club admitted there are some "feelers" but would have more to say next week. ALDERGROVE - On Sept. 24, the Aldergrove Flyers U-17 Girls team travelled to Newton for a surprise game under a revised schedule. Their opponent was the SurDel Blazers, a team that had a rough going playing Gold, and decided this year to try their luck against Silver. The story of this game was the lack of calls by the officiating. The young gentleman who refereed the game had predetermined that there were just girls playing, and at half time he could be seen looking for scones and a tea tray. As both teams did not back down from physical play, discipline by the coaching staff and the girls on the field became a factor. Luckily, nothing serious developed, and one left the game truly appreciating the time when the officiating is taken seriously, and.the rules of the game are f was given last year applied. The score at the end of the fourth quarter was 2—2. Aldergrove touchdowns were scored by Amanda Harcoff and Lisa Kehler. The following Sunday, Grand- view Drillers came to Parkside school. At the half Aldergrove was leading 1-0 with a bullet by Amanda Harcoff. At this point the girls were reminded that, although they owned the play, they had degenerated to Kick Ball. In the second half, the Flyers displayed their passing game and brought the score to 3-0. Both second half goals were set up by Brianna Lee and Amy Russo with finishing touches by Val York and Lisa Kehler. On Oct. 24 the Flyers are planning a bottle drive and are hoping they receive the same support that Horse killer returns FERNIE - A deadly horse disease has resurfaced in southeastern British Columbia after a 15- year hiatus. Ten cases of the disease - half a dozen in the Cranbrook area - were reported in B.C, between January and July, federal officials said. And another case of equine infectious anaemia ('swamp fever') was discovered in the Elk Valley last month, bringing the total there to four, said a local veterinarian. Dr. George Proudfoot said that prior to this year, the last cases of the disease in the East Kootenay occurred more than 15 years ago. It's Time To Play...

The team is just getting to know each other and each game sees more improvement. The Bruins faced off against the North Surrey A3 team on Friday, September 29th. The team's first win as a team came against Chilliwack and were now playing the powerhouse Surrey organization. The first minute of the game was a nightmare, as Surrey scored four goals to go up 4-0 after the first 45 seconds of play. The Surrey team scored three more times to go up 7-0 after one period. After the first period the boys realized they could play just as well as the Surrey team and mounted a tremendous comeback. Due to a misplaced game sheet, the scorers were unavailable, but the final outcome was Surrey 10, Hewitt and Co. 6. The coaching staff was very happy with the team's play in the second and third periods and look forward to the next game. The Hewitt and Company Bruins faced off against North Delta A2 on October 3. North Delta, another strong squady opened the scoring to go up 1-0, Ryan Martin, with an assist from Nick Goy, tied the score at 1-1, and after one period the score was tied. Ryan Bell scored a nice goal for a 2-1 lead. Matt Eldridge, from Nick Goy, saw die Bruins go up 3r-l. North Delta scored to make it 3-2. North Delta then tied the score at 3-3. Ryan Martin scored his second goal from Ryan Bell to give the Bruins a 4-3 lead after two periods. Ryan Martin scored his third goal of Uie game with an assist from Jacob Harder to see the Bniins up 5-3 and an upset in. the making. North Delta stormed back to make the score 5-4 and in the last couple of minutes tied the game at 5-5. The coaching staff was very pleased with the effort against another strong organization. The Hewitt and Company Bruins then played the North Surrey A4 team on October 6th. Newcomer Bill Solomon opened the scoring with an assist from Ryan Bell to have the Bruins go up 1-0 after one period. Strong goal tending by Isaac Mangone kept Surrey off the board. Surrey tied the game at one in the second period. Ryan Martin then scored from Ryan Bell to give the Bruins a 2-1 lead after two periods. North Surrey then tied the game at two and went up 3-2 shortly after. Jake Morris tied the game at three with help from Stephen Howerton and Tyson DeGianni. The game was played at a fast pace and was well played. North Surrey scored in the last minute to come away with a 4—3 victory. This was a much improved game for the Bruins and they came away with the confidence that they can play with anyone. Cliffhanger The Hewitt and Company travelled to Cloverdale to face the undefeated Colts on Saturday night. Scott Mathieson started in goal and played just great. The Bruins Nick Goy opened the scoring with an assist from Ryan Bell to go up 1-0. The Bruins were flying in the first period and dominated play but could not get it by the Cloverdale keeper. Cloverdale tied the score in the last minute to end the period at 1-1. Ryan Bell with assists to Ryan Martin and Cody Hopkins gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead after two periods. The Bniins continued to press, hitting three goal posts and the goalie stopping everything. The third period was exciting ,and the Bruins found themselves in trouble due to penalties. In the last two minutes the Bruins were two men short and hanging on. Cloverdale stormed the net and came away with the tying goal to end the game at 2-2. This was a solid team effort from offense to defense and Scott Mathieson played super in goal. The team played a tough exhibition schedule and is ready to open up the tiering round on Tuesday, October 10 at 6:45 in Aldergrove against Ridge Meadows. Public invited to view new campus CHILLIWACK - After a 20- year wait, Chilliwack can finally claim to have a "real" post-secondary campus. The new $10-million multipurpose complex and performance theatre at the University College of the Fraser Valley's Yale Road site hosted its first classes September 5. Everyone is welcome to drop by and stroll through the new buildings and newly landscaped grounds. The public is also welcome at a special opening ceremony planned for Friday, September 22, at 10:30 am. Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony. The new multipurpose complex features general and specialized classrooms, a cafeteria, and offices for Student Services, Admissions/Records, Financial Aid, First Nations Access, and the Student Society. The 206-seat performance theatre will be the new home of UCFV theatre productions. The new theatre includes a thrust stage, cat walks, state-of-the-art technical features, and comfortable seating, thanks in part to Best Seat in the House fundraising campaign donors. Students, faculty, and staff are generally pleased with the new facility. UCFV is still waiting to hear about provincial funding for the next phase of the Chilliwack campus. Plans have been drawn up for a $10-million building that would house the library, writing centre, science and computer labs, and faculty and staff offices. 'Vision of excellence' off to exceptional start LANGLEY -%inity Western University is nearing its Jirst capital campaign goal to begin construction on a new 83,000 square foot student centre that will provide more room and new services for its growing student population. In the silent phase of Vision of Excellence campaign, TWU has received more than $1.9-million in cash and pledges toward the new centre. Trinity Western's board of governors has recommended that the university raise . half of the $5-million campaign goal to initiate construction this fall. "This is an absolutely stunning beginning for our campaign," says Ron Kuehl, who was recently named TWU s vice president for university advancement, after serving four years at Trinity Western. "The fact the university has received such large grants at the front end of the campaign indicates that we have an extraordinarily supportive constituency who identify the significant need for this structure." A private family foundation has given a lead gift of $1-million, and Beaver Foods, a subsidiary of Cara, has given a $600,000 grant. Members of the TWU board of governors and friends of the university have also made contributions. With an enrolment that has doubled to more than 2,000 over the last nine years, the need for augmenting TWU's current student centre facility, built in the '60s, is felt across the campus. The proposed new three-storey student centre will provide an atrium lounge, new food services, a parkade and additional classrooms and offices. i The public phase of the two- year Vision of Excellence campaign will be launched in January 1996.

People living on the Sumas Prairie, between Sumas and Vcd- der mountains, fear flooding of their homes, farms, and businesses because of actions taken by Americans to control the Nooksack River in their communities. And residents of Whatcom County are concerned their wells are being contaminated by pollutants leaching into their water supply, the far-reaching Sumas aquifer. Independent consultant Robert Tibbs recently suggested that representatives from the University College of the Fraser Valley and Western Washington University meet to discuss environmental issues of concern to communities on both sides of the border. Rep- 17-year-old student was actually 32 LONDON - A star pupil at a school in Scotland, who got five top grades in his final exams, has been exposed as an old boy aged 32. The bogus pupil Brian MacKinnon - who called himself Brandon Lee - spent a year at Bearsden Academy in Glasgow and achieved A grades in all his exams with his 17-year-old classmates. He has spent a term studying medicine at Dundee University and wants to become a doctor, but now there is a question mark over his future. His real age came to light after he was arrested in a barroom rumpus while on holiday in the Canary Islands. Two female classmates travelling with him discovered two passports, one showing him to be 17, the other 32. A spokesman for Strathclyde Education Department said 'Mr. Lee' enrolled as a fifth-former in August 1993 and attended the school until the. following May. He presented documents that convinced staff he had been at another school but had moved into the area. Investigations have now shown that he originally attended Bearsden Academy between 14 and 17 years ago. Some of the teachers, who taught him in the early 1980s, are still at the school. They helped lum through his exams last summer - but did not recognize him. MacKinnon planned his bizarre deception, because he thought he was too old to study medicine and wanted to start life over again. So he became Brandon Lee, after the son of the martial arts film star Bruce Lee, and in May 1993 applied to his old school. The headmaster at Bearsden Academy, Norman MacLeod, confinncd that a man calling himself Brandon Lee applied to the school and entered the fifth year. He had a. North American accent and claimed he had been in Canada but had come back to live with his grandmother in Glasgow after his parents died. During an interview with the headmaster he gave him two reference letters, one from a relative in Canada and another from a family in London. MacLeod said he had been astounded by the deception. "He was a well-presented youngster, very polite, and had a lot going for him. Looking back he was a model pupil, an asset to the school," he said. "I am still proud to have had him at the school." UCFV geography instructor Sandy Vanderburgh shows visitors from Western Washington University and Tijuana the sedimentary layer that provides filtering and protection for groundwater used by residents in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Langley. rescntatives from a technical institute in Tijuana were also invited to talk about cooperative efforts between the governments of Mexico and Texas to deal with environmental issues connected with the Rio Grande River. The group met at UCFV and then took a field trip. Sandy Vanderburgh, a geography instructor at UCFV, told the group that aquifers (or surface water networks) supplying water to residents from Surrey to Chilliwack are being threatened by increasing urbanization and light industry, and by intensive agriculture. The loose glacial sediment that provides an effective filter is being strip-mined in gravel pits throughout Langley and Abbotsford. With limited funding, representatives from UCFV, SFU, UBC and the Geological Survey of Canada have begun limited testing on water quality and supply. Researchers have found high nitrate levels in ponds collecting on the Sumas Prairie during winter, he said. However, little is known about the source of the water and how far aquifers extend. Scientists are frustrated by the lack of funding available to study recharge rates and flow levels. He also noted there are many groups on both sides of the border studying environmental issues but little coordination or information-sharing between them. Jorge Bustamante, from El Colegio de la Frontera Norte in Tijuana, a technical institute, suggested people around the table present "apocalyptic scenarios" to make people aware of the gravity of the siniation and press for further funding. He said birth defects in Mexico and the State of Texas brought home the danger of cont aminated water supplies along the Rio Grande. ' Vanderburgh said awareness is increasing, but if nothing is done soon to protect this water source, ongoing population growth and continued stripping of the sedimentary layer will result in water shortages and poor quality water. Some residents have already discovered their water is undrinkable during heavy rain. Sources of problems have been traced to leaching hog fuel from neighbouring farms. A Canada-U.S. group looking at aquifer issues will be meeting in Abbotsford next month. Flooding of the Nooksack River is also a concern to people on both sides of the border. Devastating floods hit Sumas Prairie and Whatcom County residents in 1989 and 1990. John Matzinger, a river and flood engineering manager from Washington State, told the group that a citizens advisory committee has been examining ways to control flooding of the river. Meetings of the committee, with representatives from affected communities, homeowners living on the flood plain, tribal councils, and fanning, fishing, and forestry industries have resulted in the installation of better monitoring and warning systems. The committee has also agreed that, rather than try to divert flood waters or build higher dikes, a better strategy would be to try to retain the overflow in fields until water levels recede. Matzinger said he could show numerous places along the Nooksack River where rocks have been piled up, but the river has just gone around the obstruction and flooded someone else. However, he said a lot of work remains to be done to convince some farmers to allow their fields to be used for holding areas.

The theatre is at 5673 - 200 Street and ticket line is 534-1795. CHILLIWACK - The University College of the Fraser Valley Theatre Department will hold open auditions Monday and Wednesday, October 16 and 18 at 7 pm for The Glorious 12th, the second production of its 1995/96 season of theatre. The auditions will take place at 7 pm in the rehearsal hall in the new theatre centre on the Chilliwack campus. Male performers in the 18 through 70 age range and female performers from die 18 through 50 range are required. The Glorious 12th deals with an unsettled period of Canadian history:, the late twenties, when high immigration and official recognition that Canada was a bilingual country encouraged opportunistic Ku Klux Klansmen from the USA to cross our border to rccniit new members and prey on the fears of our citizens. There are chilling parallels in this evocative play to recent events here in the Fraser Valley. The Glorious 12th will run January 17 to February 2. Scripts are available for perusal in the UCFV Library on the Chilliwack campus. Anyone wishing to work backstage on this production is invited to attend the auditions and indicate their interest.

Equus, based on a true incident, is a fascinating study of the complexities of the human mind and how materialism has destroyed society's capacity for worship and passion. At its 1973 debut, New York Times critic Walter Kerr said Equus was, The- closest I have ever seen a contemporary play come to re-animating the spirit of mystery that makes the stage a place of breathless discovery... a portrait of the drives that lead men to crucify themselves." Shaffer, who also wrote the hit movie, Amadeus, uses symbolism and metaphors in this philosophical play that will have audiences thinking and talking about it long after the curtain closes. Curtain time is 8 p.m., Oct 11 through 21 (except Monday), and tickets are $12.50 to $15. Dinner and theatre packages are also available courtesy of The Keg on Granville Island.

DOCTORS SAY "BUTT OUT" New air standards, better ventilation, or smoke ban? VANCOUVER - A coalition representing more than 3,000 B.C. restaurants, hotels, pubs, cabarets, casinos, bingo parlours and other hospitality businesses has proposed improved ventilation and clean indoor air standards, plus indoor air quality testing, as an alternative to a proposed total smoking ban in the lower mainland. The Lower Mainland Hospitality Industry Group said, that its members will improve ventilation and air conditioning equipment in their businesses in order to meet North American clean indoor air standards by January 1,1997. "Our proposal is a well thought-out, practical alternative to a job-killing ban on smoking," said LMHIG chair Bruce Clark, a Burnaby hotel manager. "The experts we have consulted tell us, that we can radically improve air quality by improved ventilation, air conditioning and air filtration, and we're committed to doing it." "A smoking ban will remove only 5% of the pollutants in indoor air," he said. "Our solution will remove 65% of all pollutants - including not just tobacco smoke, but also cooking fumes, dust, airborne chemicals from paints, rugs and upholstery, and dust and spores. Our goal is cleaner indoor air without destroying our businesses by driving away smokers or treating them like lepers." The Hospitality Group released a report by John deWolf, president of the Association of Professional Economists of BC, winch found that a smoking ban could result in between 2,700 and 3,500 hospitality industry layoffs in the lower mainland. On the other side of Uie issue, a prominent B.C. doctor is urging lower mainland politicians to vote for a proposed 100 per cent no- smoking bylaw this fall that will protect employees' and the publics' health. Dr. Frederic Bass has written to 167 mayors and councillors, and more than 5,500 lower mainland doctors, asking them to support the initiative by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, the BC Lung Association, Canadian Cancer Society, and the BC Medical Association. 'This is one of those situations where your leadership can .make a difference to your community," wrote Bass, chair of the BC Medical Association's Tobacco and Illness Committee, and also head of the BC Doctors' Stop Smoking Project. Bass also asked doctors for their support by attending municipal council meetings and/or writing letters of support for the bylaw. The 100 per cent no-smoking bylaw is supported by the general assembly of the BCMA; its 1995 annual meeting resolution states: "That the government of BC adopt a province-wide ban on smoking in all public places, including restaurants, pubs, and rehabilitative and correctional institutions, such that staff, customers, patients, and inmates of these establishments or institutions are not exposed to tobacco smoke."

If you are burning a lot of wood, your stovepipe and chimney may have a heavy build-up of creosote. If the creosote was to catch fire, your roof could catch fire too. So clean out creosote before it wipes you out. Fireplace chimneys should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year: Stovepipe chimneys should be cleaned monthly. R.E.

Through the program, fire fighters, schools and McDonald's work together to help teach kids what to do in event of a lire at their home. Families are encouraged to stage home fire drills - Don't give fires a chance Prevent fires in the living or family room. If you have smokers in the house, use large ashtrays. Before you go to bed, look under cushions for burning cigarettes. If you have a fireplace, use a metal fireplace screen - and have the chimney checked and cleaned regularly. Keep lighters and matches where small children won't find them. Allow air space around the TV and stereo to prevent overheating. Keep portable heaters away from people and combustibles. Take care when heating baby formula One of the more risky practices with microwave ovens is heating formula or milk in the baby bottle. This can result in potentially serious scald burns of babies. Safety authorities say most reported injuries have involved botdes with disposable plastic liners which may burst when the bottle is shaken or while the baby is being fed. The use of a baby botde warmer may provide a greater safety factor than other methods of heating. Be sure to read and follow the directions very carefully. much as is done as a fire prevention measure in schools. A key part of the PTGOA program in B.C. this year will be a work sheet produced by McDonald's. It will be provided to fire fighters for distribution to school classes and others interested in fire prevention. Families are encouraged to use the work sheet's grid to draw up a floor plan and escape route for their home and then to hold home fire drills. McDonald's also will distribute a Fire Safety Activity Book as a "treat of the week" during Fire Prevention Week, and as part of the program, McDonald's will work with fire fighters to present children with an opportunity to become Fire Chief For a Day. Entry forms - like the activity books - are available at participating McDonald's restaurants and local fire departments. Ron Marcouz, president and chief executive officer of McDonald's Restaurants in Western Canada, said, "W6've had many reports over the years of children using their training from Plan To Get Out Alive to help save their own lives and those of their families. We are pleased to continue our involvement in the program, knowing that we may very well hear more such stories." Kindergarten students are put through fire drills by township public education officer, Rita Paine, as a practical means of demonstrating techniques that could one day save their lives. The students of local schools are offered a variety of materials and workshops by local fire departments. -Kurt Langmann photo Emergency preparedness projects funded in B.C.

Neglect is "alarming" TORONTO - Close to two- million Canadian homes could go up in smoke at any time without warning the people inside, according to a random survey of several Canadian Fire Chiefs undertaken by First Alert. The problem: smoke alarms with either dead batteries or no batteries at all inside. "We see this all the time - often after a tragedy has occurred," said chief Gary Greene, Dartmouth Fire Department. "The number of injuries, deaths and loss of property that are the result of non-functioning smoke alarms is a problem diat is completely preventable." Of the 10,387,000 households in Canada, an estimated 94% have a smoke alarm. The vast majority of these alarms are battery-operated. Therefore, approximately 1.9- million homes (one out of five) may be at risk due to neglected or removed batteries. One of the reasons many people do not maintain their smoke alarms is that they have misconceptions about the realities of a fire. Many believe that in the event of a fire, the smell of smoke will awaken them from sleep. Or, they assume that they'll have plenty of time to escape. Or, most commonly, that a fire simply won't happen in their home. "The biggest obstacle fire departments face is the public's apathy," says chief Grant Nicuri- ty, public education officer, Regina Fire Department. "Too many people go to bed at night and tiiink 'it can never happen to me." Yet fires do not discriminate - regardless of whether a household has an annual income of $12,000 or $120,000,000, a fire can still break out. And if you don't have a working smoke alarm, then you have no warning." - The facts of a fire are as follows: 1) There is virtually no lime to escape. During a fire there is very little time to get out because of the fire's ability to spread quickly. A fire in a waste basket, for example, can spread to consume an entire house in two minutes. . 2) A fire is blackrrUnlike the fires we see in movies and television dramas, the smoke from a fire makes it almost impossible to see anything, including the way out. 3) The smell of smoke will not wake you up. In fact, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases in smoke will put you into a deeper sleep. Firefighters report that most people who die in house fires are found in their beds - killed by deadly smoke that never woke them up. 4) The heat from a fire is extremely intense. During a fire, temperatures can climb as a high as 700°C and can kill a person instantly. Sometimes a fire becomes so hot that an entire structure will implode. These harsh realities demonstrate the importance of having at least one smoke alarm in every residence, and of ensuring that all residential smoke alanns are functioning properly. First Alert and Canada's Fire Chiefs urge all Canadians to follow this rule: when Uie clocks are changes each October and April, check and replace your smoke alarm batteries. Once you have installed your smoke alarms, maintain them to be sure they are in good working order. Test each one once a month; vacuum each one at least twice a year; and replace the battery at least once a year. ALDERGROVE « RENT-IT CENTRE "the better rental store" 26821 Old Yale Rd. (Next to R & M Tire) 856-7745 Beware of scald burns when using microwave With the popularity of microwave ovens comes an increased potential for burn injuries. One of the most common scald burns related to microwave use results when steam escapes when plastic wrap or a lid is removed from an item that's been heated. Always use caution when removing coverings and lids. Puncture plastic wrap before heating foods in the microwave when such a covering is used. Safe cooking tips One in every four fires in one- and two-family residences is caused by cooking accidents. The Fire Prevention Canada (Fiprecan) Association offers these tips to prevent cooking fires: Never overheat or leave cooking fats unattended. If grease in a pot or pan catches fire, turn off the heat, then smother the flame by covering the pan with a suitable lid - which you should always keep readily available. Watch out for yourself and your clodiing. If the fire should ignite nearby combustibles or threaten to spread, get everyone out of the, building (give the alarm!); close the kitchen and entrance doors; and call the fire department. Never risk carrying out a burning pan. Never use water on grease fires. Pay attention to flammables National Fire Prevention Week (October 3-9) may be a good time .to become reacquainted with your fire extinguisher - at home or at your place of work. Fire extinguishers do not take the place of your local fire department and its highly trained personnel. But a fire extinguisher can be a viable and effective means of combating small fires, at work and at home. To serve that purpose, the extinguisher needs to be in proper working order, easily accessible and operated correctly. Be sure you know the location of fire extinguishers - in your home and at work. The extinguishers should be inspected monthly and maintained by a qualified technician. Prevent fires in the basement, Many fires start in the livingroom Fire statistics in North America indicate that room-by-room odds of having a fire are highest in the living room, lowest in the bedroom. Of all residence fires, more than 37 per cent start in living rooms, family rooms and dens; more than 21 per cent start in kitchens; more than 14 per cent in heating equipment or utility rooms and more than 12 per cent in bedrooms. garage and storage areas of your home. Store gasoline and other flammables in tight metal containers. Don't use flammable liquids near heat, a pilot light or while smoking. Have your household heating equipment checked yearly. If you have a work bench, keep it clean and keep flammables away from sparks. When a fuse blows, find the cause and always replace a fuse with one of the correct size. Don't store things near the furnace or heat - and remove, rubbish. If you need advice in this regard, contact the Fire Prevention officer of your local fire department or the office of the Fire Commissioner of British Columbia, 800 Johnson Street, Victoria, B.C.

This is reality, not fiction, for a growing number of teenagers. According to Karina Morrow, employment teen parent co-ordinator of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services, teenage mothers desperately need the support and encouragement of their peers in a supportive and safe environment. This is one of the objectives of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services and its Teen Parenting Life Skills Program and work experience. One of the unique features of the program, said Morrow, is that the program is designed by the teen mothers themselves. This includes everything from writing the program to setting up the daycare facility. "The women, who attend this program, created the program. They created from their own life experience the necessary informa tion on teen parenting," said Morrow. "The moms want to learn skills to overcome the handicaps of a lower education, poverty and the welfare trap." The women, who participate in the program, range in age between 15 to 21 years. Examples of activities undertaken during the six-week program include first aid instruction, the Super Host program and learning valuable life skills such as cooking on a low budget. One of the women remarked, "The program taught me CPR first aid, conflict resolution and anger management. The courses will help me to better myself and the teens involved so that we can get better paying jobs." The program also offers a variety of workshops in improving self esteem, coping with anger and stress, identifying and understanding abusive relationships, and developing conflict resolution skills. "The program," said Morrow, "is careful to respond to the individual's needs concerning the participants. It is important Uiat as such a program be flexible and to build constructive relationships between the participants and the support staff." One of the key functions of the group is to facilitate the sharing of valuable information such as identifying community resources, legal and human rights, and educational support. "Until Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services arrived on die scene, Uie community was very limited in its ability to provide necessary support services to meet the needs of Aldergrove, Abbotsford and Chilliwack teenagers." For teen moUiers who wish to complete dieir high school education in Aldergrove, Totem Daycare at Aldergrove Senior Secondary School has recently reopened its doors. For those teen mothers in need, such support openings are still available. The program receives funding through the Ministry of Social Services. For more information on Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services and for much-needed donations, you are encouraged to call 857-4662. Our gas fireplaces are known for outstanding quality.

Host families needed for "down unders" WATERLOO - Student Travel Schools is looking for volunteer families in British Columbia to host 10 students from Australia and New Zealand. The students, ages 15 to 18, will be sharing their lives with Canadian families, while attending local high schools for five to 12 months, beginning this January. Being a host family means opening up your home and way of life to a teenager from another country just waiting for the chance to live and learn with a Canadian family. Host families provide meals, accommodation, supervision and care during a student's visit. All of the students are fully insured and are responsible for their own spending money and clothing allowance. "Hosting is especially beneficial in opening the eyes of children you may have at home to the world beyond their own backyard. It can reinforce their interest in other countries and cultures", said Anna McLauchlan who heads up the STS office in B.C. STS is a non-profit organization that started 30 years ago in Sweden. The organization's goals are to build understanding between peoples of different countries and cultures. Today, STS has offices in 13 European countries, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Canada. Anyone interested in becoming a host family or studying abroad, can contact Anna McLauchlan at 592-1834. Consumer corner By ROBERT MELYNCHUK It's car buying season. Newspaper, radio, and television commercials are going to get rid of your old beater. The auto industry will spend millions on advertising to tell you about their new models. The car writers will grovel over every model, and talk up every model. The car writer may even point out that there are some minor flaws. They may go so far as to tell you some minor shortcomings, ~ like the colour isn' t quite right, or the door seems too small, or it could shift better. Keeping their report simple, and stupid. The car writer might not tell you that Chrysler's rear door latch on their mini' vans were recalled. Or Ford's Pinto was the subject of several lawsuits. Or the huge claims paid out over GM's pickup trucks. Is fall really the best time of the year to buy a car? The best time of the year to buy is when the sales manager needs money - right now. You may also be surprised to learn that the best wheeler dealer is the first time buyer. The general manager, and the sales manager, can spot them a mile away. No one, and I mean no one, will ever get a better deal than the fist time buyer. The guy who goes.into the dealer as the expert will wonder what happened. Let's face it , folks, the dealers work every day at deals, and you are an amateur. 1997 is an important year for new safety features that will be the law.

Specialty classrooms to be constructed include an applied communications computer lab, a multi-media language lab, a contract training classroom, an early childhood education classroom and resource centre, graphic design studios and computer lab, library technology classrooms and labs, and office careers classrooms and labs. The new building will connect directly to the current Building B through walkways on two levels. Classrooms and labs in each area will cluster around student study and socialization spaces. The Minister Dan Miller (right) and UCFV director Noel Hall unveiled plans for a $10.4-million classroom building at UCFVs Abbotsford campus; Friday, shortly after officially opening the new Learning Centre library complex there. The 5,920 square metre facility, to be completed by early 1997, will house an additional 370 students. -Kurt Langmann photo 'The announcement of this latest phase of the Abbotsford campus is very welcome," said UCFV acting president Dick Bate. "It will complete this stage of the Abbotsford campus development plan, and provide the additional teaching areas and faculty offices that we need to accommodate the growth of UCFV resulting from the university-college initiative." The classroom block has already been designed by New Westminster architect Carl berg Jackson Partners. Construction of the building will cost about $7- million, with the remainder of the funding going towards building design, equipment and furnishings. In addition to classrooms and studios, the new building will graphic design facilities will feature mini-exhibit spaces visible' from the hallways in each studio. Construction will start*immediately and will last for approximately 15 months. Because of extreme space constraints on the UCFV Abbotsford campus, the new building will be built on top of a natural fen. A new artificial pond is incorporated into the new building's design as a partial replacement for Uie fen. Biology classes, who previously used the fen for nature observation, are now using a bog on the 10 acres of UCFV property that is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. "Space remains a real conundrum for the university-college on the Abbotsford campus. We're boxed in there, for an institution Aldergrove's Terri-Lynn Stone spoke on behalf of University College of the Fraser Valley's students, at Friday's opening of the new Learning Centre. The rotunda entry was packed with well-wishers, including skills, training and labour minister Dan Miller, who applauded Stone's cogent words. She called the centre's new library the "beating heart of UCFV... I doubt there's any (students) who do not use it. It's only missing a name, but for a cool million dollars (to fill more shelves with books) I'm sure you could call it anything you wish." Stone, an adult student,- also suggested that UCFVs success "should not be measured by students in and out, but personal growth. Adults can expect an average of five major career changes... the profound value is to think critically... not just to know, but to have wisdom." -Kurt Langmann photo with the projected growth that UCFV has," said Bate. "We are limited to our current 26 acres until the ALR issue is resolved, and there's no indication that the 20 adjacent ALR acres will be released any time soon. So, with resignation and regret, we are losing the fen. The redeeming factor is that there are similar areas on our ALR land.

'The new shop will accommodate the large pieces of machinery used in that program, and will provide relief to students who have had to put up with inadequate facilities for a long time," said Bate. Bate is also looking forward to the continued development of the Chilliwack campus. "We have a wonderful uew complex in Chilliwack, but we also find ourselves in a situation where there is a real dislocation on the campus, with the library and offices still over in the old temporary building. I hope that next year we can be breaking ground on the next phase of the Chilliwack campus, which would give Chilliwack the kind of permanent, first-class facilities that the community needs.. NOTICE TO RESIDENTS LANGLEY ALDERGROVE WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT STUDIES In an effort to improve the drinking water quality in the Aldergrove area, the Corporation of the Township of Langley has engaged the services of a consultant to perform treatment studies during October and November 1995. The study will determine the best method of alleviating the taste and odour problems being encountered by some consumers and maintaining the desired bacteriological and aesthetic water quality. In order to meet the above objectives, disinfection and filtration trials will be implemented at Well Nos. 6, 7, and 8. During the course of the investigation, chlorine, the most commonly used disinfectant in drinking water treatment, will be added in varying amounts to determine the optimum dose required to produce the desired water quality. Chlorination will begin during the week of October 16th. Although the chlorination study will be carefully planned and executed to minimize the impact on the consumers, some may experience a slight chlorine taste and/or odour in their water. Drinking water treated with chlorine is safe to drink, to use for cooking, to bathe in, and for other everyday use. Water used in kidney dialysis machines and aquariums, however, will require the following special precautions: Kidney Dialysis: Most kidney dialysis machines have carbon filters to remove chlorine. People using dialysis machines should check with their dialysis physician or the Langley Health Unit at 532-2300 to ensure that they are protected. |||| Aquarium: Chlorine is toxic to fish and must be removed before the water is used in aquariums. Owners should use dechlorinating tablets which can be obtained at local pet stores. If you have questions or want more information concerning the Aldergrove chlorination trials, please contact Gary Venuti, P.Eng., at the Corporation of the Township of Langley at 533-6074.

Deputy Director 533-6079 4<K3 Computers important part of rehab program THE ALDERGROVE STAR, OCTOBER 11.1995 *1 VANCOUVER - In response to BC Rehab's recent need for computers for the adolescent and young adult program, Ronald McDonald Children's' Charities of Canada came through with flying colours. At BC Rehab, many young people with physical and cognitive disabilities are technology- dependent and have very specific rehabilitation needs. The two computers will provide the necessary tools to teach organization, problem solving and communications skills. Access to the computers will assist youths to keep current to their peers for the time when they re-enter the school system. The program provides inpatient and out-patient services to youth age 12 to 19 at the G.F. Strong Centre and in the community. The computers are also used as a motivating tool to improve fine finger dexterity and hand/eye coordination. Computers can also provide recreational opportunities. For a youth with a disability, a computer enhances self-esteem and encourages more independence. Ronald McDonald Children's Charities of Canada is an organization with a simple objective: to help children in need. It is committed to assisting organizations and individuals, whose programs are community oriented and focus on improving the quality of life for children and families of children with cancer and other life- threatening or chronic illnesses. Each year, grants are awarded for the development of programs in the areas of'healthcare, specially designed rehabilitation facilities and'living centres, and special education programs for youth. BC Rehab is a key provider of physical rehabilitation services in our province and the Yukon Terri- Caring about schooling By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Trustee Diane Pona says the school district has changed for the better during the time she's been on the board. "The board's motto of 'Working together for student success' has had a very positive effect on the entire district," she said. "It makes parents and staff feel as if Diane Pona 'working for student success' they have something to contribute to the education of Langley chil- | dren." She also said that partaking in a problem solving workshop has helped her as a trustee. "We (the board) try to build a consensus. We can't all agree all the time, but we can come to a solution that makes everyone feel 'easy' about the decision being made, through information and understanding." "It's difficult especially when it comes to money matters and a shortfall, but working on the problems together has been helpful." Pona doesn't bring an educational background to the position of trustee. Instead, like many others, her involvement began with the schooling of her now grown children. "I have participated in my childrens' education since preschool," she said. "I was involved on the Parent Executive, the Parent Advisory Council and a number of other groups as well." Pona loves being a trustee and tries to attend all school functions she is invited to. This year she attended the graduation ceremonies of at least six high schools, and last year attended all but one. She especially loves the musical productions and drama festivals. 'The talent in Langley schools- is incredible. Some kids even write the plays themselves," she said. "I believe participation in these types of activities gives kids a chance for release, and it surprises parents to see their kids in a totally different way from how they are at home." Pona said she. will probably run in the next election and doesn't foresee any trouble getting endorsement from Regional Electors of Aldergrove and Langley, which is a collective group that provides candidates with the financial backing needed to run an election campaign. "It costs a lot of money to run a campaign, but REAL has been very supportive," she said. Pona has positive feelings about all the trustees whom she said work well together. She added that the staff is the real strength of the district, and what stands out is their commitment. According to Pona, the future of the board ties in examining its policies and role as governors. It is important to set clear, precise policies with no grey areas. "It will benefit the kids if we can be clear, and give precise direction to staff as to what we need done," she said She also stresses the importance of parental involvement in a child's education. "I don't believe that the alternate schools are better because they have different programming, but because they have a greater amount of parental involvement," she said. "Every school can be successful, if the parents get involved, and having a parent involved, helps to give kids a feeling of self-worth." On the flip side Pona acknowledges that it's not always easy for parents to find time to go to the schools, and the ones who can't attend should not be judged as 'parents who don't care.' "I have yet to meet a parent that doesn't care," she said. The problem she does have with the alternate schools is that students often have to travel out of their catchment area to attend. "Parents should be looking at what their community schools have to offer and try to make them better through involvement," she said. "I have to say that I really believe we are all very lucky to be living and working in the Langley School District." tory. Comprising the G.F. Strong Centre and the George Pearson Centre, BC Rehab is also affiliated with the teaching faculties of the University of British Columbia. The mission is to provide a continuum of interdisciplinary services enabling people with disabilities such as spinal cord injury, head injury, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, stroke, burns, amputations and other neuromuscular disabilities develop the knowledge and skills necessary to reach their full potential.

Housing market back to normal SURREY - The summer buying rush eased off slightly in the Fraser Valley in September, with 16.5 per cent fewer residential sales reported than during the previous month. However, September 1995 total residential sales of 1,140 were still 13 per cent higher than the 1,008 sales recorded in September 1994. "Consumers who waited out the market correction of July 1994 to April 1995 came out in force this spring and summer," said Dan Bennett, president, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. "They saw that conditions were right to make that move." "The pent-up demand contributed to a very active market from May to August, but if I had to define what's 'normal' for a Fraser Valley market, this is it," says Bennett. "What we're seeing now is a more typical level of activity." Prices are holding steady, with most areas showing a modest increase over the previous , month, and only a two per cent decrease over the same month last ■year.- '^M^irWi. 1SPP*: THE ALDERGROVE STAR, OCTOBER 11.1995 27 Words from the wise The deed is all, the glory nothing. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Wherever you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship. - Harry Truman Frightful farm fun: This giant hay scarecrow beckons River Road travellers to Dorothy Anderson's Aldor Acres, where visitors can pet the bunnies, burros, piggies and goats, before taking a hay ride around the pumpkin patch and picking out prospective jack-o-lanterns.

OCTOBER 11.1995 Weisgerber drums up support for local nomination meetings The CFS Aldergro Centre. Tower network grows larger By PETTY OFRCER DARCY BENS ALDERGROVE - The serenity of the Matsqui Hals was disturbed one fine sunny day in August by the sound of approaching heavy equipment. Two weeks, 50 yards of concrete, one ton of steel and a mile of wire later, the newest addition to the Matsqui Transmitter Site antenna farm part of Canadian Forces Station Aldergrove, was glistening in the morning light. The Granger 2001-2-3K antenna stands 92 feet high and is capable of handling 1.5-kilowatls of power over a.frequency range of 2.X5 to 30 Megahertz. This latest addition to the menagerie of antennae at Matsqui is intended for use by the Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria. Due to urban sprawl, more demands on the RCC and the sharing of Federal resources brought on by budget cuts, the best location for (he new antenna became Matsqui, which until now was mainly in support of the West Coast Fleet. The new antenna, in conjunction with a new 1 kilowatt transmitter to be installed in the future, will greatly enhance the operations of the RCC by improving high frequency communications to (he on-task units throughout B.C. Fixed dates for voters VANCOUVER - Reform BC leader Jack Weisgerber has vowed, that a government under his leadership would implement fixed election dates in its very first legislative session. "It's time to end the election guessing games once and for all in British Columbia," Weisgerber said, "The Election Act should be amended to establish a fixed election date every four years for provincial elections, similar to the way municipal elections are scheduled. "Like all governments before it, the Harcourt government has fuelled election speculation by doling out great wads of taxpayers' money for pre-election goodies aimed primarily at buying votes. "That approach to government is as outdated and unacceptable to taxpayers as the NDP itself, and believe me, Mike Harcourt is going to get that message loud and clear, whenever he ppJJs the plug," Weisgerber said. ve antennae farm is growing, with a new tower built for Victoria's Rescue Coordination ABBOTSFORD - B.C. Reform leader Jack Weisgerber will be speaking at Kings Crossing on Thursday, October 19, to a fund-raising banquet for the benefit of Abbotsford campaigns in the upcoming provincial election. Sponsored jointly by the Abbotsford and Matsqui constituency associations, the event will also'include a "fun-raising" auction. Weisgerber is expected to present the BC Reform position on several issues expected to be prominent in the pending elections. Tickets are $50 and are available at Don Quast Motors and Warawa's Vacuums. Local Reformers have been buoyed by (he most recent public j opinion polls showing another I increase for BC Reform province- wide. In both Matsqui and Abbotsford the contest is expected to be hard fought between BC Reform and the by-election winners, Liberals John van Dongen and Mike deJong. Abbotsford BC Reform has called its nomination meeting for November 6, at the Rancho. Matsqui Reformers will be naming tiieir candidate October 26 at the Ag-Rec Building at Exhibition. Park. q H.H.
