HOCKEY ASSOCIATION TO APPEAL Unruh wins $4-milliom ALDERGROVE - Mel Unruh will never live the way-he used to before his accident, but with a B.C. Supreme Court's judgment awarding him $4-million he has the opportunity to live indepen- dendy and with dignity. Unruh, now 20, has been a quadraplegic since a spinal cord injury suffered in an amateur Midget AA hockey game two years ago. Unruh had been one of this town's leading lights in the sport, but now must content himself with watching others play our national game. However, Unruh may have to wait longer to see the money, as the hockey association and insurance company held liable have said they will probably appeal the verdict. Hal Lewis, an official with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association said that, "We dont think the judge's decision was handed down based on any kind of precedent." The CAHA provides up to $6- million insurance to every player who pays the $2.75 fee with their annual registration. The CAHA has already paid out $200,000 to Unruh through their insurance plan. Unruh's lawyer, John Laxton said that if an appeal is made, he will make sure it's heard in court without delay. The judgment is expected to send a strong message to other hockey fans and players about the seriousness of violence on the ice. Justice Meredith ruled that the March 7, 1990 collision from behind, which sent Unruh head-first into the^uoards and broke his neck, was intentional. The judge also said that the player who caused Unruh's grief, Steve Webber had acted "recklessly and thoughdessly" and was liable for the damages he caused. The judgment will be awarded from players' insurance provided by the CAHA and the defendant's fees and the remaining balance homeowner insurance. The will help Unruh live on his own money will pay Unruh's out- and pursue a new potential standing bills, including lawyers' career in business.

Now it is going to be just another Langley golf course. Property is beautifully located on top of the bluff, to the east of 264 Street, overlooking Glen Valley. And as usual, when golf courses are being brought up in council, local politicians Monday night had their strongly diversified views on whether or not such use of potential farmland would be advisable. One faction of council believes that development of more golf links is a good way to keep Langley "green", while the other side thinks that "once a golf course, always a golf course." Not so, said Coun. John Scholtens. "There is enough money in the bond (posted by golf course developers) to guarantee that the land will revert back to farmland ... when it again becomes profitable to grow food. It is a very good way too preserve land." Seeing that the odds were against his own point of view, Coun. Aubrey Searle tried to halt the sale of a 15-acre parcel of municipal-owned land to the private developers. This, situated at the center of the property, would be needed to complete the project. "Our rural area is threatened," Searle intoned. "Golf courses are not rural, and you are urbanizing that area. Stop that now!" He added that the 15-acre lot, once scheduled for a municipal gravel pit, could become "a precious gem" if held on to by the township. "It has no access," said Scholtens. "We could 'trade' it for better park land in an area where a park would be needed." Searle also had the answer to that. "The money (realized from the sale) would go for something else," he said. "It is another example of destroying the rural area!" Shortly, he predicted, there will be "680,000 more people in the lower mainland" and all the parkland available and then some will be needed. Meanwhile, golf courses are springing up like mushrooms all- over Langley. Coun. John Campbell suggested that perhaps the township should set a limit on the maximum number allowed. He suggested this number be set at 18. j^jj "And I have invited council in the past to do just that," the lawyer-councilman said. As usual, Coun. Muriel Arnason suggested that the land could be put into immediate agricultural production. "It is good land," she said. "It could be improved to class two (a highly productive classification)." Like a lot of land in the Aldergrove-Langley area, it is in brush and scrub alders and have never been farmed since the white man first set foot in the valley. The university, by the way, was turned down by council last year. Priorities said to be all wrong EDUCATION DOLLARS SHORT MURRAYVILLE - Priorities are wrong, says Coun. Aubrey Searle. Slamming the "$500-million constitutional fiasco," Searle told fellow council members here Monday night that the federal government has got it all wrong. Money should be spent on education instead of political crusades, he said. Searle pointed to Kwantlen College as an example of a learning institution receiving poor federal support. Last semester, he said, 3,000 prospective students were turned away from the post-secondary institution because of a lack of space and instructors. "There is no mechanism in place for post secondary education," he said. Coun. Steve Ferguson agreed. "I hope the government will act now," he said. ' VOL.34 N0.45 THURSDAY.

The meetings, totalling five hours are set for Nov. 17 and 19, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Aldergrove Arena. The meetings will be chaired by Lee Titter- ington, and all are invited to attend. The meetings are the result of earlier meetings with residents who complained of the town's shortcomings, and the municipality and provincial government are hoping to find realistic ways to address these problems. One meeting drew 24 residents who complained of youth violence, vandalism and drug abuse. A subsequent meeting with five youths heard there was a lack of activities, jobs and transportation here. Titterington said that five hours were required to hear from all parties and he hopes to see a healthy turnout next week. For information call 421-8021. Planner to prepare ideas ALDERGROVE - The municipality has hired town planning consultant Robert Inwood to prepare ideas and design guidelines for improvement of this town. Inwood will also be featured at a Dec. 1 meeting at the Aldergrove Elks' Hall, where he will present his first draft guidelines for Aldergrove's commercial improvement. Langley municipal spokesman Paul Crawford said Inwood has been visiting local stores to discuss facade improvements with owners and provide "complimentary facade treatment ideas and sketches. These (improvements) don't have to be expensive," said Crawford. "Just a litde bit of work can improve (buildings) substantially." Currendy, renovations don't require a development permit, but this will change in about six months or so when council approves new bylaws, added Crawford. The township will also be taking action shortly on businesses which still use the banned sidewalk sandwich boards to promote their stores. Advance notice of the meeting will be given out to local businesspeople to get as many out as possible. The Aldergrove Revitalization Committee will be distributing a questionaire on this subject to local stores, too. Changes to local bylaw suggested ALDERGROVE - Some relaxation of the municipal home- based business bylaw is expected shortly, says local Chamber of Commerce president Gerald Long. Recommendations were looked at by business- people and the Langley Economic Development Committee, and have now been forwarded to municipal council for consideration.

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 Globetrotting at 111 New law riles chamber ALDERGROVE - George Ives missed this year's Remembrance Day ceremonies at the local Legion Hall, but made up for it with a trip to his home country that will .surely be memorable. Ives, a Boer War veteran, was invited to England for an all- expenses paid trip sponsored by London's newspaper, the Sunday Express. The newspaper put out $30,000 to bring Ives, a daughter and a nurse to a celebration marking the 90th anniversarv of the Boer War in South Africa. Ives apparendy has received the royal treatment for the past week, hobnobbing with royalty, visiting his old regiment, and topping it off with a standing ovation from the crowd and royalty attending a Remembrance Day gala at Royal Albert Hall. Ken Pruden, manager of Ives' Aldergrove home, Jackman Manor, told The.Star that the trip was kept hush-hush because the Sunday Express wanted the scoop on their sponsorship. Pruden said that Ives' agenda included tea with the Queen Mother and Margaret Thatcher, and he is to also visit Prime Minister John Major's residence at 10 Downing Street and share tea with Lady Diana. Ives has been staying at the prestigious Grosvenor House during his visit. Ives, the only living recipient of the Queen Victoria Medal for his service in the Boer War, was to return to Canada and Aldergrove on the evening of Nov. 11. Seven days later, Jackman Manor will host a 111th birthday party for Ives. He'll have plenty of new stories to tell his guests that day.

At the Nov. 4 chamber meeting, Long said meetings with other local organizations are "still underway and we're working very diligently. There's a positive feeling for what we want to achieve." Two local clubs have already agreed to a preliminary proposal, and the others are still talking over the plan. "By the end of the month we should be able to take the next step, prepare and deliver a final proposal" to municipal council.

CO-Od\ Shop Otter Co-Op 3600-248th Street Aldergrove ALDERGROVE - The province's Chamber of Commerce offices are organizing a coalition under the B.C. Chamber to express concerns over the new labor laws proposed by the government. Provincial Chamber president Ian MacLeod said, "The business community must be extremely diligent and outspoken in ensuring that our decision makers get the message as to the risks inherent in the aggressive changes being implemented." The largest concern is over small and medium sized businesses and their employees. Noting that, "one size does not fit all," MacLeod said that the smaller companies and workers, "work best in a cooperative and communicative environment, not in the structured and rule-based context of big business and big labor. "While the balance of power between a big business and an individual employee may favor the employer, the power is equally unbalanced between a big union and small business. A small business and the jobs it creates can easily be destroyed if caught in a conflict between the big union and other employers. "Many of the new clean businesses, particularly those in the high tech industries are highly mobile and it would take very litde additional risk before they, and the jobs they create, would leave the province. "Uncertainty or dramatic change create risk and at some point that risk can cause business to close or shelve expansion," said MacLeod. Way it is, according to White ALDERGROVE - Fraser Valley West Reform Party candidate, Randy White is expected to deliver some hard-hitting indictments next Wednesday and Thursday. Scheduled as featured speaker at the constituency's annual fall meeting, White says he intends to "tell it like it is" with respect to the defects in our criminal justice system, the way our economy is being mishandled, and the abuses throughout our political system. As to abuses of the system, White said, "I am particularly angry with the overindulgence of MP's in salary and other benefits and I will be making a major personal announcement in that regard at this meeting." As for the law and order issue, White said, "People used to be able to walk the streets of our Frasr Valley communities at night without fear. We have got to get tougher with criminals and give the police stronger support. There are many aspects of our justice system, particularly the Young Offenders Act, which need toughening up." The meeting will include a report by director Justin Price of activities resulting from the annual Reform Party convention held in Winnipeg on October 22 through 25, a speech from the B.C. co-ordinator of Young Reformers Tomiko Suzuki and a volunteers appreciation exercise. There will also be a video showing the Reform movement from 1920 to present day. The meetings are Nov. 18 at Clearbrook Community Centre and Nov. 19 at Langley Conference Centre. Times are 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. both nights. CUSTOM BLIMPS GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY OR YOUR BLINDS ARE i it i: i:: Offer exclusive to WindowWear™ Custom Mini, Micro and Vertical Blinds.

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 It's great to 'forgive' MURRAYVILLE - Several council members said they were "not happy about it" but nevertheless voted to spend $5,000 of taxpayers money on having a consulting engineer study a study prepared by another consulting engineer. Coun. John Scholtens said he was "greatly troubled" by the Government borrowing cited as public enemy number one VICTORIA - The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has released a report which shows that the interest paid on provincial debt amounts to the equivalent of $200 a month for every family of four in the province. Robin Richardson, the federation's director of research, said interest charges on the province's debt have literally exploded over the past ten years, and that any spending cuts which amount to minor belt- tightening, will not be enough to ensure that British Columbia's fiscal position remains stable. "In 1982, the interest on the total debt of the province was the equivalent of $300 per family per year, Richardson said, "But over the past decade, consistent borrowing by government has driven provincial interest charges to $2393.11 per family per year" (the equivalent of roughly $200 per month per family). Richardson says the total debt British Columbia taxpayers are now on the hook for is roughly $23-billion. This is made up of $7.5-billion of debt in the government's operating account, plus over $15-billion of crown corporation and other debt. "A one hundred million dollar nibble at a ballooning annual deficit that's about twenty times that size, and an accumulated operating debt that's 75 times that size, amounts to about the same thing as trying to fight a rather substantial forest fire with a pail of water," Richardson said. "It simply won't have much of an effect". "If the current members of the Legislative Assembly do not get this very serious situation under control, and quickly," he says, "B.C. taxpayers will be paying ever more in taxes, yet receiving less and less in services." "The interest on the governments operating debt is over 3/4 of a billion dollars a year now," Richardson says, "Which means there are thousands of clerks, loggers, cab drivers, etc. who pay their provincial income taxes for no other reason than to satisfy interest on government borrowing." idea. Mayor John Beales did "not feel happy about it," and Coun. Trudi Campen said she was "a bit disappointed (that the taxpayers again would have to pay)." "They just want to know what is going on," Campen added. "I am itching for it to go to public hearing," said Scholtens. They both thought that perhaps another study was not all that necessary. It was the Chartwell rezoning application that had come back to council. Chartwell has paid for an .'environmental impact assessment' on the proposed golf course near 200 Street and Zero Avenue in southwest Langley. Trouble is, nobody on council, or on staff for that matter, is capable of reading the document. "We have nobody on staff with expertise in this particular aspect," admitted township administrator Jim Godfrey. Councilors Aubrey Searle and Muriel Arnason suggested another way out. Have Chartwell pay the $5,000 fee as well, they suggested. But other council members would hear nothing of this. - "CORP (Council of Ratepayers, the southwest Langley activist group headed by Brian West- wood and strongly opposed to the project) will not be happy to accept something paid for by the developer," said Coun. John Campbell. The developers had done their part and the cost of the assessment of the assessment should now be paid for by the municipality, he added. "Either we throw the whole doggone thing out or we accept (the Chartwell proposal)," said Beales. "It is up to council (sic) to pay for it." Several amendments to the proposal brought up by various council members were defeated, and in the end councilors voted four-to-two in favor of having the new study done. The Chartwell golf course and housing development is only the latest in a long string of proposals that have been brought before council during the past decade. Various people have owned the mined out gravel pit near the US border and have each brought their own ideas for what could be done with the big parcel of land before councils present and past. Proposals ranged from mobile home parks to housing developments to garbage dumps. None of the ideas have taken hold. MURRAYVILLE - Some want it, and some don't. Letters in support of and opposition to the proposed Chartwell golf course in a mined- out southwest Langley gravel pit keep on pouring in to municipal hall here. This week, councilors received a letter in support from Herb and Darlene Gilhooly. Another letter, Fences and guards needed, delegate tells local council MURRAYVILLE - All gravel pits should be fenced in and "have a guard on duty at all times," a Langley resident told councilors here Monday night. Judy O'Brien, who lives in southwest Langley near the proposed new gravel pit at 16 Avenue and the Langley-Surrey border, said it was "council's responsibility to ensure (that all pits) are not a public hazard." O'Brien spoke of "unsupervised gravel pits" and a need for "security arrangements." A fence would "keep curious children out," she claimed. Mayor John Beales advised the delegate to take her presentation before Surrey council, since the pit mining operation is really in that municipality. from Audrey Wright, councilors felt spoke against the development. The Gilhoolys say the people they have spoken to are in favor of the golf course development because they "would like to subdivide their land at some reasonable point as they have invested years in this area, and putting water and sewer down 200 Street (to the Canada-US border) would be a very good beginning." "We have created some expectations," commented Coun. Aubrey Searle. He is very much against the development. The letter from Wright did not really address the question but rather topk Mayor John Beales and his council to task for their sensitivities. Last week, Beales said councilors had been subjected to abuse by two delegates who made an attempt to have councilors see a zoning problem their way. "Why is it that you feel so much on the defensive," Wright asked, "that following public hearings you have gone so far as to 'forgive people' for their emotions? "Too often, there appears to be a 'them and us' attitude by council, and people truly feel they are being treated with arrogance and disdain." /MTC CD PLAYER $99 95 CHINA CABINET With Sliding Glass Door Panasonic m /enMU- Mid-Size 800 Watts (0.8 cu. ft.) * «»8 Admiral WASHER & DRY1I NO CHARGE DELIVERY SPECIAL HEAVY DUTY NO Admiral Home Appliances ENERGYSi «©' FROST FREE 18.0 CU.

(Note left by a beleaguered prospector) OTTAWA - Nineteen years from now, when New Democrat member of Parliament Svend Robinson, 41, retires, he will receive an annual pension of $100,358.00 for a total retirement package of more than $3-million courtesy of the Canadian taxpayers. Robinson, 13 years in Ottawa, will receive the indexed pension no matter if he is retired from politics next year. Fellow New Democrat Jim Fulton, also a member of Parliament for 13 years, will receive yearly payments of $91,208.00. He is two years Robinson's senior. Fraser Valley West MP Bob Wenman (Progressive Conservative) will have to get by on only $69,149.00 a year, rising, of course with inflation. Wenman is 52 and a parliamentarian backbencher for the past 18 years. His total retirement package exceeds $2-million. Fellow Conservative, Fraser Valley East MP Ross Belcher, 60, only gets a measly $25,906.00 a year, and Surrey MP Benno Friesen, 63 and also a Conservative, will be paid $48,269.00 during his first year of retirement. Other hefty pensions will be paid to government members John Fraser ($64,399), Mary Collins ($33,727), Frank Oberle ($62,078), Tom Siddon ($61,344), and former Liberal leader John Turner, 63 ($82,974).

"Increasing competitive pressures, high unemployment and the ongoing sluggishness of the ' economy are forcing wage and salary increases down," says board researcher Prem Beni- madhu. "Pay increases in 1993 will be very much in line with inflation, which is forecast to be 2.7 percent." Benimadhu says actual pay increases may be lower than forecast, "given the tough economic times." Job security will be a much greater concern in 1993, he says. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR God save us one and all! Editor, The Star, Sir, A letter to the editor, 'Save the country now* (Nov. 5), illustrates one of the great problems we have. In the second paragraph the writer used the words 'I want' Thanks Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of the Aldergrove Citizens Crime Watch Patrol, I would like to extend this letter of thanks to you for your recent contribution. As you know the Aldergrove Citizens Crime Watch Patrol is a non profit volunteer group, so these monies will go toward assisting us to help Aldergrove to be a crime-free place. Be assured your donation is very gready appreciated. PATRICK BOYER Aldergrove They're still starving! Editor, The Star, Sir, Last February I helped coordinate the 30 Hour Famine at H.D. Stafford Secondary School in Langley. Through this event, our school raised over $5,000 for World Vision Canada to help alleviate world hunger. We joined schools, churches, and individuals across the country in going without food for 30 hours to raise $2-million. Students who raised over $250 through the famine were eligible for an overseas trip. To enter, we wrote a 500 word essay on "How I can help put an end to world hunger." Then we were interviewed by a World Vision representative, who made the final selection. Four girls from across Canada were the proud winners of a trip to Thailand in August, and I was lucky enough to be one of them! The two weeks I spent. in Thailand • were the most memorable weeks in my life. I used to%think that the lines about hungry children were just sob stories, but now I know how real those hungry children are. I saw real poverty there for the first time. But in the midst of the darkness, there was light. World Vision is doing tremendous work with the Thai people. We saw many projects where World Vision has set up self-sustaining communities. The Thai people are in charge of working the facilities and maintaining them. The cycle of poverty is broken by the process of development that takes place in these projects. It was very encouraging to see the money we raised being put to work where it is so desperately needed. I want to encourage all students to be a part of the 30 Hour Famine. That experience alone was an eye-opener for me as to how it feels to go without ■ food for even a short period of time. You can be assured that the money raised will make a significant difference in the lives of so many who need it CHRISTY NIEMI, Langley three times. It is easy to focus blame on our political leaders, but how does one run a country of people who put their own desires above all else' On referendum day the great stoic whale of the Canadian psyche rolled over and exposed its underbelly. Not the lily-white of compassion and tolerance we endlessly assert forms our national make-up, but a belly black and scarred with racism and intolerance and covered with the barnacles of self-interest. J. HUDSON OLLTVER, Burnaby Enjoyable performance Editor, The Star, Sir, My husband and I wish to thank you for the tickets to "Letter from Wingfield Farm" We attended last night's performance, had excellent seats and enjoyed it thoroughly. It is an excellent production. ISOBEL HUNTER Aldergrove Entertaining, too Editor, The Star; Sk, We would like to express our appreciation for the complimentary theatre tickets we received from the Star. We thoroughly enjoyed the comedy, Letters from Wingfield Farm, which is currently playing at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre. It was very entertaining and we highly recommend that your readers see this fine production. JANE ADLER ROSS BOCK Aldergrove Not all gloom Editor, The Star, Sk, In light of all the negative media attention on youth in the past couple of months, I am happy to write about teens who have made a positive impact in the Aldergrove community. On Halloween night 10 teens (members of The Aldergrove Boys' and Girls' Club) volunteered their time and efforts to make the "Haunted House" at the Kinsmen Center an outstanding success. The teens that participated were Wiley Borg, Jeremy Luypen, Dan Bell, Keith Nelson, Elissa Vaessen, Lisa Bradley, and Doug Messmer of Aldergrove, Roberta Roddick and Danielle Waters of Abbotsford and Shane Larson of Langley. They put on a show for 170 kids and parents which proved to be scary for both. I would like to offer a sincere thank you to the club volunteers who also participated, Jon Bensinger and Julie. Zazelenchuk. Without thek help, we could not have survived. The event was a success and we would like to express our thanks to those in the Aldergrove community who came out and supported us. I think all would agree that the teens involved in staging this event are indeed leaders within our community. S*?$ LINDA WILLIAMS Aldergrove Local highway sidewalk soon coming? MURRAYVILLE - Just in case there isn't enough money to go around, "which side is the preferred one?" Coun. Aubrey Searle asked Monday night. Aldergrove's downtown revitalization committee had recommended that the township set aside funds in the 1993 budget to construct a sidewalk along the north side of Fraser Highway from 273 Street to the Kinsmen Housing project and another along the south side of the highway from 273 Street to the Countryside Mall. Councilors agreed to include some funding in the upcoming municipal budget. Statuette brings smiles to council MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here are extremely proud of a small gold statuette they have won from the local development community for being an "outstanding" community in British Columbia. The small figure called a Georgie (and resembling an Oscar) was handed to Coun. Trudi Campen at a recent meeting with development industry representatives. It has since found a place of honor in the mayor's office. This week, council was congratulated by local MLA Lynn Stephens for winning the award. The Georgie recognizes Langley township as a great place to do business if you are a developer. Citation recognizes Langley for "its interest in, and devotion to, affordable housing." License fees to rise MURRAYVILLE - The cost of a business license in Langley will go up 25 percent in the new year. Fees will increase from $60 to $75. "Is that enoi ah to nay (Tor a growing department)?" asked Coun. Muriel Arnason. Municipal administrator Jim Godfrey said the new cost would "reflect" the costs involved in running the municipal license department. Thanks for support Editor, The Star, Sk, On behalf of the students at Aldergrove Secondary School who participated in the 25 hour basketball marathon on Friday night, we would like to thank Aldergrove Super Valu, Panagopoulos Pizza, Aldergrove McDonald's, Hart's Video, Aldergrove Safeway and Fraser Valley Bakery for their donations and support. The fundraiser was a huge success. ALDERGROVE SECONDARY BASKETBALL TEAMS THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 12. 1992 Public land to bids MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here have approved a bylaw that will rezone a piece of public owned property on the north side of 36 Avenue, west of 208 Street. No to sub MURRAYVILLE - Dreams of subdividing their property were quashed for a Langley couple Monday night. Councilors unanimously denied Emil and Theresia Irion the right to split up thek property at 21749 Maxwell Crescent into one 10-acre and one five-acre parcel. When the paperwork is completed, the property will be offered for sale to the public by tender. Trouble is, says Coun. Muriel Arnason, only church congregations will be able to submit bids to the municipality. Rezoning will make the land usable only for institutions. And "no money has been mentioned," says Arnason, who is opposed to the deal. But other councilors say the money matter will be sorted out later when they decide if any bids received are acceptable to them. Socreds still simmer The Social Credit party lives. More than 700 delegates attended the 40th annual convention of the once dominant political force in B.C. recently. For obvious reasons, the Socreds chose the friendly ground of the Fraser Valley. Interim leader Jack Weisgerber (Peace River) failed to flop, a significant change from recent history for that particular party. The Socreds, by an 88 percent vote, approved the concept of choosing a new leader by way of the universal ballot. That idea is not new, in fact it was rejected by the same party when put forward over the past two years. The party was not then ready to allow its members control. The back room denizens still believes power should be limited to a few. There is little question all major political parties will opt for a form of universal voting to choose leaders in the future. The methods employed may differ, but the tradition of an elitist corps of delegates laying on hands to anoint the chosen one is dead. May the idea rot in peace. The question, for those not of the socialist persuasion in B.C., is where do you hang your hat and ante up. Do you believe the Socreds can come back with a new philosophy regarding integrity and purpose or do you think the cracking Liberals with their novice leader Gordon Wilson, can mature and develop into a viable alternative to the world according to Harcourt? There, of course, is a third option of a new coalition. Jack Weisgerber, quite possibly a winner at his party's next leadership convention, has suggested to his party that a coalition is a must, but he has not spelled out the formula. One could assume he was suggesting the Liberals and the Socreds consider a marriage. But what name? It is trendy today for couples to go by different surnames, retaining each their own, but would a party fly with the name of B.C. Social Credit/ Liberals or B.C. Liberal/Social Credit? Pretty cumbersome. Realistically, the Social Credit party is unlikely to have a good chance of forming a government at the next provincial election if they are on their own. As well, the Liberals do not appear to be in an upward spiral, despite the polls which lately have suggested they have gained to the point of being more popular than the NDP. There is a long time left on the game clock before poll time, and anything can happen. A snapshot of today would give the impression the NDP would be in the best position to win an election (by default, perhaps), having a hard core 40 percent or so of the popular vote. Despite the stumbling performance of Mike Harcourt, if it comes down to choice many would continue to support him. That is, if Mike is their leader next time out. The same snapshot shows the Socreds in a holding pattern and the Liberals a little shaky. Any chance that a new coalition could come from nowhere and become a front runner? Anything is possible, as we know, in politics. Any new coalition would require major input from existing Liberal and Socred MLAs and such a group would need to prove beyond question that their organization was not a collection of political opportunists and nasty backroom cynics who exist only to peddle influence. The people of B.C. are becoming more sophisticated with respect to politics and that can mean bad news for any party, in or out, new or old. Fall Constituency Meeting .

ALDERGROVE - Playing away to West Fraser at North Surrey High School on Sunday, Nov. 8, Aldergrove beat West Fraser 5-0 to avenge a defeat inflicted by thek foes on them in league play on Oct. 11. Aldergrove Gold Key took control of the game from the opening whistle, creating many chances, while holding West Fraser to very few forays out of thek own end of the field. The fkst goal for Gold Key was scored by Gordy Clark at the 30 minute mark of the opening half. That was followed 8 minutes later by a strike from Angus Sewell. Half-time score 2-0. Gold Key began the second stanza just as they had begun the first with sustained pressure being applied on the West Fraser defence. Using all the substitutes available in order to maintain control of the game with fresh legs, Gold Key stretched thek lead to 3 goals on Gordy Clark's NEW '92 SAMARA second goal of the game at the 65 minute mark. Rob Workman made 4-0 on a well taken strike in the 79 minute and Joe Deacon rounded out the score on a howitzer from close-in at 86 minutes. Coach John Deacon said "Gold Key had a team of stars out there today, but the most outstanding player has to be Gino Coltellaro." He went on to say, "We had intensity, purpose and determination as the result shows." Next game for Gold Key - Wed., Nov. 11 at Parkside against Mission Div. 1 in the Presidents Cup, and then on Sunday Nov. 15 at Parkside against league leading White Rock. Kick-off in both games at 2 p.m. Atoms getting stronger ALDERGROVE - The Hewitt & Co. Aldergrove Bruins are showing improved form after thek last game against North Delta.

The game remained 0-0 until the final minutes of the first half when the Valley gave up a goal. Then a lack of practice time during the week and a few nagging injuries took thek toll, ■ and the Valley gave up three more goals in the second half. Kevin Saunders scored on a penalty shot late in the game to put the Valley on the board to bring the final tally to 4-1 North Shore. Fraser Valley Unked looks forward to hosting Van. City Metro next week at Cloverdale. closely by the second Aldergrove goal, put away by Spencer Cording, assisted by Mark Cassibo. Although North Delta did not reply in the first period they came out strongly in the second scoring 3 goals, to put the score at 3-2 for North Delta. There was good scrimmaging by Aldergrove in this period, but Aldergrove was unable to score again. Aldergrove goalie Ben Eldridge put on a strong showing in goal for the first period and a half with new rep goalie Kristopher Keith taking over the second shift, showing good form. In the first meeting with North Delta, Aldergrove suffered a lopsided loss, but with the final score in this game at 5-2 for North Delta the Hewitt & Co. Bruins are really starting to come together as an integrated team. !&fa HAPPENING NOW 1992 HONDA CIVIC DX $11,808 (including freight & PDI) 1989 HONDA ACCORD LX 4 dr., auto, am/fm Qft cassette »,»»o 1984 HONDA CIVIC 4 dr., sedan, am/fm stereo 3,968 1988 HONDA CRX SI Shuttle cassette, __ mint, mint JVIU' 1989 HONDA ACCORD EXI fully equipped 13,685 1988 HONDA PRELUDE SI 4WS, fully equipped, clean ii/vil 1988 HONDA ACCORD LX Auto, mint 9,348 1986 HONDA CIVIC DX excellent ___ condition 4,/or 1987 HONDA CRX Fast red, great condition o.soi 1988 HONDA CIVIC DX am/fm cassette, _ shuttle deck o,9Uo STOP THE HASSLE — Consign Your Vehicle Now!

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 By LYNDA ROESS Langley Suzuki is making a move for the better as well as the bigger. Now located on Langley's Auto Mile at 19505 Langley Bypass, they're moving to a larger and more accessible site. The comer of 200th and Eraser Highway in Langley provides a higher profile, easier access and better product display. Ron Ballantyne, sales manager for Langley Suzuki, says he is excited about the move and is looking forward to giving his clients better customer service. Due to the move to a new site, not only Langley Suzuki's customers, but all Suzuki owners can enjoy the ease and convenience of having sales, parts and service combined in one building. A far cry from the mobile offices which have been Langley Suzuki's home for the past four years. "Langley Suzuki has been rated #1 in customer satisfaction here in the .west," says Ballantyne. He credits this honor to the spirit of his sales staff, and the high quality products Suzuki produces. For example, Suzuki exceeds Canadian emissions standards by 50 per cent and the Suzuki "Swift" are rated in the top ten vehicles with the best fuel economy, some as high as 65 MPG! Suzukis also have and meet very high safety standards.

On Friday November 6 they hosted Malaspina. Malaspina won the match 3 games to 2. Malaspina played really well and made it very tough for Trinity. Despite the loss, Sherrie Williams came through with some excellent blocking in the two games that TWU won. Coach Heidebrecht had this to say about the game, "The overall performance of our team just was not there. To beat the good teams in the league we all have to come mentally prepared and ready to play to the best of our abilities." Against j Okanagan, on Saturday, Trinity started out strong. In the first game TWU caught Okanagan off guard with a score of 15-2. However, in the rest of the match Okanagan fought back, but only got one game off Trinity. The end result was Trinity 3, Okanagan 1. The Spartans collectively came together with the defense setting the position for a strong attack. "Playing the game point by point and not getting thrown off by the emotional psych of the moment is a key to playing your best." The team's record is now 3-1 in league play and 6-4 in exhibition play- The Lady Spartans next game is on Friday, November 13 against Douglas College. LANGLEY - TWU men's soccer team competed in the CBC tournament on the weekend in Abbotsford. It was the beginning of what Trinity hoped would be an improved team for next season. TWU probably played one of its best games of the season and was dominating Northwestern in the downpour on Friday Night Their teamwork and desire was evident. Dan Kampen finished a pass from Darren Ward, marking the "prettiest goal of the year", to put Trinity ahead 1-0. The score stayed the same until some sloppy defense allowed Northwestern to score with only a few minutes left to tie the score. That tie, combined with a win in the first game led to a semifinal appearance Saturday morning. After beating CBC 2-1, TWU faced Northwestern in the final. Northwestern won the game 3-11 They scored all of their goals on counter attacks. Aldergrove. This was the first game Aldergrove would lose in exhibition play. But Surrey's goalie was outshot 18-7. As this team develops their passing, skating and goal scoring their next game will be different. On Oct. 30 the tween B team would play a strong Coquitlam team for their final exhibition game. Erika Pearsoon would score the first goal for Aldergrove but Coauidam would answer back with 2 of their own. Erika would add another to tie it 2-2. Coquidam again came back and put one past Kristine Hargrove to make it 3-2. Maria Mach would tie it again with assist going to Erin Miller. Before the 1st period was over in this see-saw battle Coquidam would add another to the first period 4-3 Coquitlam. Tara Swinden would assist on 2 goals, one by Shannon Waters and one by Leslie Thomasson in the second period. Between these goals Coquitlam would answer back with goals of their own to tie it up at 5-5 with 5 minutes left in the game. As the last minute closed in it looked like the game would end this way, but hold on Coquitlam would score with 9 seconds left of the game and the home team and fans went nuts. Aldergrove feeling down, pulled Kristine Hargrove from her goal position and put out another attacker. Erin Miller took the free pass and found Lindsay Carron in the corner, Lindsay took a mad dash and blasted one past the Coquidam goalie at the 1 second mark to make it a very exciting finish for Aldergrove. Final score 6-6 tie. Stakes victories produce fast miles CLOVERDALE - Mooster Ed, with Rick White at the controls cruised to an easy victory in the $55,914 final of the B.C. Sire Stakes for 3 year old colts and geldings Saturday at Cloverdale Raceway. Time for the mile was 1:57 flat, a new record for the 3 year old Sire Stakes Series and only two fifths of a second off the track record. Starting from post six, White elected to take back off the start with Mooster Ed and wait just before the half mile made to launch his bid. Pacing through the stretch on the outside of horses, White was able to move Mooster Ed into the lead just past the clubhouse turn and then was never pressured after that. Payday Paddy with Sten Ericsson in the bike finished second and might have been closer to the winner but he had a horse go off stride in front of him just before the start, causing him to lose ground. Columbia Nipper partnered with Kevin Anderson finished third. The win was the 11th of the season from 16 starts for Mooster Ed and the winner's share of the purse pushed his '92 earnings over the $67,000 mark. Sunday afternoon the fillies had top billing in the Sire Stakes and not to be out done by the boys, the final time for the mile was also a Sire Stake record in the filly division. Scruffette, with Sten Ericsson in the bike was able to wait until the top of the stretch before shaking loose and pacing by the leader Riches N Diamonds in posting a three quarter length victory. The favourite, Payday Chance teamed with Gord Abbott finished third. Time for the mile pace was 2:00.4. Scruffette's victory was her 10th in 1992 from 26 starts and the winner's share of the purse pushed her '92 earnings to just over $65,000 for Langley owner's Bob Stevens and Cam Noble.

These two teams had met once before in exhibition play with the Bruins taking home a 7-1 victory. It was evident in the opening minutes that this was a much improved Ridge Meadows team as they took the play to the Bruins. The play was back and forth for most of the first period until at 3:41 with Dustin Goodman sitting in the penalty box, Matt Roberts and Ben Henthorne break in the offensive zone and with a couple of neat passes between the two, Matt puts the puck in the net for a shorthanded goal. Not to be outdone Ridge Meadows replies twelve seconds later on the powerplay. Twenty seconds later Scott Robinson with a great display of stickhandling skills takes the puck from the Bruins blue line and beats the Ridge - Meadows goalie. In the last two minutes Ridge Meadows really starts putting on the pressure and scores two more goals before the end of the period. During the break between the first and second periods the coaches talked to the boys to settle them down and regroup. It wasn't too long before the pep talk reaped results as . Josh Macknee scored at 14:24, assist to Contracts signed LANGLEY - The school district wjll sign two more Partners in Education agreements this week.

The rest of the .period was filled with fast paced excitement as both teams batded for the puck. The thkd period was to feature more of the some action with goaltenders at both ends called upon to make some timely saves. Finally at 4:53 Paul and Scott combine once again to take the Bruins ahead by two. For the third game in a row the opposition pulled their goalie to try and tie the game with the Bruins. This time Ridge Meadows was somewhat successful as they scored with twenty-six left in the game to come within one, but were unable to get the tying goal past goalie Josh Letkeman. Final score of the game Aldergrove 6, Ridge Meadows 5. Sunday November 8 found the Bruins travelling to Chilliwack for an early evening game against Chilliwack's triple A team. The first period was an even contest as the Bruins worked hard and took Chilliwack a little by surprise. Aldergrove opened the scoring at 4:08 of the first on the powerplay with BJ. Konschuh making a beautiful end to end rush. Chilliwack scored twice before the end of the period to take a one goal lead. The second period was to be a replay of the first as both goalies were tested many times. At 3:56 Chilliwack scored once again but Paul reduced Chilliwack's lead to one again scoring with just 34 seconds left in the second. In the third the Bruins continued to press but were unable to get a break as the Chilliwack goalie came up with some great saves and was helped from time to time by his goalposts. Chilliwack took over midway through the third as the Bruins were visibly tiring, scoring three unanswered goals. Even though the Bruins outshot Chilliwack 20-16 the final score was Aldergrove 2, Chilliwack 6. The Bruins next home game is Thursday, November 12 at 8 p.m. Come on,out and enjoy the fun.

Being aware MURRAYVILLE - January 1993 has been proclaimed 'Alzheimer Awareness Month' in the township of Langley. Proclamation was made by mayor and council this week following a request from the Alzheimer Society of B.C. By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Do B.C's youth have a future? Not if B.C's adults keep doing the wrong things they have been doing for the past 20 years or more. This is what Blair Wilson told the Nov. 4 Chamber of Commerce meeting. Wilson is vice-president of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, and also spearheaded the "Stay in School, Achieve Your Best" program. Calling himself a strategist, Wilson said he became disturbed with the country's 37 percent dropout rate two years ago, and started the school visitation program which brings top-level amateur athletes to talk to students about the benefits of staying in school. Thanks to many donors, the program has visited 140,000 B.C. students over the past year at a cost of only about one dollar per student. "The response has been 100 percent positive," says Wilson. And the telling sign of its success is that many students comment that they're glad, "someone finally cares." Wilson said the "increasing phenomena of senseless stab- bings and curb stomping" by youths are not so senseless as they may seem. "It makes perfect sense to them in the environment they find themselves in." He said the blame for the youths' "sense of hopelessness" rests squarely on the shoulders of adults, because "Canada's debt has been run up by our generation." This debt, at $100- billion in 1981, is expected to hit $685-billion by 1993, which will then equal 84 percent of our total Gross Domestic Product "The country's going bankrupt and the kids are aware of this," asserted ICBC - PERSONAL INJURY - ACCIDENT CLAIMS We will protect your interests with experienced lawyers and support staff who deal only with personal injury claims. .TARVTS & CO.

He also cited unemployment statistics, which are twice as high for teenagers as the general populace. This, along with the growth in paittime work and the lack of unskilled jobs, mean that youth have no chance without higher education. "There's no point in planning a future if there is no future." However, Wilson said, "Students want and need adults that care for, respect, understand and accept them. Give them an adult that's excited they re alive." He quoted a judge's comments on a recent trio of youths sentenced for a murder: "Juvenile killers are made, not born; made by a society of greedy, amoral, shallow people. If we don't change our ways, we'll have more killings." The 37 percent who drop out, "definitely have no future, another 40 to 50 percent are under- achievers, and the five or ten percent left have strong aspirations. Adults can turn this around," says Wilson. The school visits by the likes of Charmaine Crook and Kathy Kreiner are part of turning this around, as they impart their desire to "learn to set goals and overcome obstacles. Youth begin to believe in themselves. But the flaw is when we leave the community, if no one reinforces the message, the effect wears off. Adults need to reinforce this self- esteem. "It all depends on B.C. adults; we create the jobs, ensure the future. It's a heavy load, but if you look at what we've done to the economy, maybe we deserve what we've got. "The new government labor legislation is a disaster for our future and we're letting it happen. Most B.C. adults are ignorant of what's in store, there's apathy. We'll get what we deserve. An incredible amount of investment money will be discouraged from coming to B.C.," said Wilson. Pointing to the failed referendum on the constitution, he said, "If enough people decide enough is enough, they can stop something from happening. We can do things or let people do it to us." The key is to correct our errant ways and to raise our youths' self-esteem. A big job, but, "Optimism is infectious."

THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 12. 1992 11 LANGLEY - It took 4,000 cups of coffee for Rosemary Neering to complete her research on stories about this province's small towns. The resulting-book, Down the Road: Journeys Through Small-Town British Columbia, won the 1991 B.C. Book Award in the non-fiction category. Those interested in Neering's stories can listen to her, in person, at the Langley branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library on Wednesday, November 25 at 7 p.m. Neering's stories focus on towns without stoplights and malls; towns ranging in population from 24 to 24,000. They tell of a saner, slower paced : way of life that is fast disappearing and well worth preserving in an era where the negative side of big city life - crowding, crime, impersonality - is increasingly apparent. A former editor of Beautiful British Columbia magazine, Neering has been writing professionally for over 20 years. She is the author of a variety of educational books for children and teenagers and five adult non fiction works, among them: In Rosemary Neering - Gordon Brown photo the Paths of the Explorers (1992) and Continental Dash: The Russian-American Telegraph (1989). Neering's program at the Langley branch library is offered free to the public, thanks to a Writers In Libraries grant from the provincial government. It is part of the Fraser Valley regional Library's Harvest of Words multicultural storytelling series. For more information, contact the Langley branch at 534-3284.

The actors are in state of confusion, the director is manic and some audience members would rather be at the World Series. All in all, it's a recipe for laughter. Opening Night continues at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 - 200 Street, Langley through November 28. Ticket reservations are available by calling the Players Snowline, 534-SHOW.

Rod Beattie assumes one of many roles in the Vancouver Playhouse presentation of the one-man play, Letters from Wingfield Farm, including the businessman from the city, Walt Wingfield, who finds happiness and a lot of amusement in his new country home. Like the TV series, Green Acres, much of it is farcical, but there's the steady ring of truth in his lively, character-rich letters to the local newspaper editor. Author Dan Needles could only have experienced the life firsthand to capture it so well. Walt falls for cornball humor ("Lived here all your life?" "Not yet.") and his attachment for the old-fashioned ideas on farming earn the despair of his neighbors who, in true country style, help him out in his new venture. He returns the favor but along the way keeps his sense of humor - like the answer to a neighbor who insists Walt's pigs are ready for slaughter. Walt's too attached to part company with his "board of directors", insisting he'll keep the gilts "for breeding purposes." His story of his purchase of a lumbering, old ("18 to 58 years") workhorse is priceless, too.

Videos debut at library | Crafts fair ABBOTSFORD - Fraser Valley Regional Library is raising the curtain on videos, now available at all 21 of its branches. "This brand new service complements the high quality of materials already available at the library," says Gordon Ray, library executive director. The selection of videotapes released this week includes how- to, educational and documentary subjects- literature, drama and musk classics; and well-loved children's programs, Ray explains. Topics range from Picasso to prenatal health care, from Hans Christian Anderson to travel in Hong Kong. Any library member can borrow up to two videotapes at one time, for two weeks each. Library videos do not include feature films and are not meant to compete with titles available from commercial outlets. "The range we have chosen represents current popular and high- Winners at whist party ALDERGROVE - There were only seven tables filled at the Aldergrove Choral Group's whist party last Thursday, but those there enjoyed themselves, and there were winners!

The hidden score prizes (which for this evening were the low scores) went to Alice Fletcher and Bert Spencer.

The library budgeted $103,890 this year to establish its video collection. The release of more than 3,000 videotapes this week represents the first stage of this significant investment. The new video collection is another in a series of improved library services this fall. The library has also recently announced longer loan times, free access to other Lower Mainland libraries and self-serve checkout for busy patrons. FVRL is B.C's largest library system in terms of both population and service area. It serves some 474,000 people in a 5,000 sq. mL area. It is also the second lowest funded library, per capita, in the province. Call or visit your nearest library branch to find out more about video loans or any other free library service.

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 Bing is the ultimate 13 MATSQUI - The Abbotsford- Matsqui Arts Council present one of Canada's most talented and engaging entertainers for the next concert in the popular Kid's Concert Series at the Abbey Arts Centre. Singer/songwriter Bing Jensen, winner of the 1991 Children's Performer of the Year Westcoast Music Award, performs on Saturday, November 21, starting at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Muffy Two (Abbotsford), Children's Edition (Sevenoaks), and Swing Optical (Mission). Bing performs at children's events throughout British Columbia and last spring was a featured entertainer at the Vancouver Children's Festival. He encourages children to participate in his show by singing along, acting out the words of a song or clapping, stomping or making sounds where appropriate. There is always something for all to sing or do in every song. Sing's lyrics tell of every-day experiences with wonder, humour and celebration, and his accoustic guitar and baritone voice guide the audience through a musical journey. Bing's performing skills have caught the attention of fellow performers, including singer Shari Ukich, who says Bing is the "ultimate children's performer ... he has a wonderful child-like spirit and unique sense of humor ... I couldn't say enough!" Whistler Festivals coordinator Maureen Douglas is equally impressed. "I applaud Bing's venture into children's entertainment. I think his skill, personality and disposition are ideal for performing for children and families." The next concert in the series features well-known singer and songwriter Charlotte Diamond on December 19 with shows at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Tickets are now available at all outlets. For more information on the Kid's Conceit Series call 852-9358. A matter of silence HARRISON - Forum Theatre, a unique type of participatory theatre, comes to Harrison Hot Springs and Sardis this November. The Harrison Festival Society and the Xolhemet Society will co-present the play Out Of The Silence which addresses the complex issues of family violence. Out Of The Silence uses theatre as a tool to help us come to a deeper understanding of these issues by breaking down the usual barriers between stage and audience. Forum Theatre encourages audience members to come on stage and try out ideas to change what happens in the play. In cooperation with the B.C. Association of Indian Friendship Centres, Headlines Theatre is currently touring Out Of The Silence throughout the province. The play will be performed in the Harrison Memorial Hall on November 21 and the Tzeachten Hall in Sardis on November 23. The play first originated as a project between Vancouver- based Headlines Theatre and the Urban Representative Body of Aboriginal Nations (URBAN). While Out Of The Silence comes specifically from the Aboriginal community, the subject matter is relevant to everyone. As Susanne Point, executive director of the Xolhemet Society points out, "family violence affects us all, and by working together, we can find ways to begin the process of healing." Out Of The Silence is dkected by David Diamond, and features Columpa Bobb, Darrell J. Guss, Sophie Merasty, Donald Morin and Carmen Moore. The play has struck a deep chord with audiences in Vancouver, and Colin Thomas of the Georgia Straight writes "I can recall few times when I have been so moved in theatre...electric moments.. .offers comfort and acceptance."

Smart Canadians Dr. Hugh Le Caine of Canada's National Research Council plays his own invention, the world's first synthesizer. Canadians have been responsible for many inventions over the years, including the telephone, zipper, five-pin bowling, toasters, hydrofoils, pablum and the skidoo. Creo brings home the gold BURNABY- They said it couldn't be done! "They" included giant international firms in the United States and Europe. Perhaps as many as 20 companies internationally spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to develop a workable Optical Tape Recorder. Some even went broke in the process. Less than ten years ago, a forum on optical data storage concluded, "An Optical Tape Recorder is one of those wonderful dreams that, unfortunately, cannot be done". Of course, that's what people said about powered flight in the nineteenth century. Creo Products Inc. of Burnaby made it happen! And for thek efforts, the Creo Optical Tape Recorder Team is to receive B.C. Science and Engineering Award Gold Medals for Industrial Innovation at the annual awards dinner in Vancouver on October 20. The team includes Doug Smythies, Bob Allan, Richard Bielak, Duane Kuch- eran, Derek Stuart, Bill Town- send, John Fowler, and Dan Gelbart. A single reel of optical tape on the Creo Tape Recorder holds more data than anything else in the world - one terabyte. That's an amazing one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) bytes of information. When one transfers the contents of a typical computer floppy disk holding 1.2 megabytes of data onto the optical tape, the operation takes less than a second and the tape barely moves to accomodate the data. A half-billion pages of paper can go onto a reel. It would wake 5,000 magnetic tapes to store this amount of data. Data is encoded on the optical tape through a laser- writing process comparable to compact discs and laser-discs. But the medium is tape. A typical reel of optical tape is 35 mm wide and nearly a kilometre long. (The tape is manufactured by ICI, a multi- billion U.K. based chemicals company.) Yet the system Creo •has devised can reach any point in the tape and read the stored information in, on average, 30 seconds. It does this while handling the tape very gently. Initial users were the Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing, the Australian Centre for Remote Sensing, and the European Space Agency who are storing satellite data. It took Creo Products Inc. nearly ten years of research and development to bring the Optical Tape Recorder to market. Now the company is turning out two of the machines every month, at an approximate price of $250,000 and plans to increase production to five per month in the near future. Approximately one dozen of the machines are akeady installed at customer sites worldwide. Naturally, the Science Council of British Columbia is proud that its grants helped pay for Creo's eariy research in the eariy 1980's. Last September, Creo won another prestigious award. R & D Magazine selected the Creo Optical Tape Recorder as one of the 100 most significant technical products of 1991, worldwide.

But when he heard that the program he wanted was being delivered in Langley he jumped at the chance. Wayne had been working for the past two years after graduating from high school. He always wanted to continue his education but the hassle of battling traffic discouraged him. Now he is one of over 30 BCIT students taking courses at Langley Secondary School. "It's great. The learning is very hands on. There is lots of material to learn but we have a good qualified instructor to teach us," Wayne said. The Langley Campus of BCIT officially^ opened pji_Nqvember 9. Since September BCIT has utilized two classrooms within the school to deliver an eight- month full time day core Electronics Technician Program and a ten-month full time day pre-employment Electricity and Industry Electronics program. For LSS principal Dan Peebles the partnership with BCIT has been "a bk of a coup." "People see us as being proactive and doing something good for the kids and good for our image," Peebles said. The institute is using the school's former automotive shop. It covered the cost of dividing the shop in two and building two classrooms and work space. From the school principal's point of view there are a number of benefits to the arrangement. For one, the school's electronics teacher will get to know exactly what his high school students need to know to get into BCIT. There is the opportunity that some advanced high school students can use the BCIT equipment and possibly gain advanced credit if they later attend BCIT. The mixing of the older students with the high school population creates positive behaviour models. The initiative is consistent with the district's Partners in Education program The BCIT agreement is the latest of over 35 agreements between the district and community groups, employers and other government agencies. These agreements often allow career preparation students to complete work study assisgments in real work environments. For BCIT electronics instructor Lance McCollum the BCIT'S Langley Campus has worked well for his students who generally come from around the Fraser Valley.

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 15 SHOP AT HOME 1 ALDERGROVE - Something for everyone 5 GREAT REASONS TO SHOP AT HOME People make a dog's life By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Chasing loose chickens down Fraser Highway is not the job description of a local volunteer who runs a dog adoption servke from her home, but Cornelia Heal takes it all in stride. "Funny things just pop up," said Heal. "I get the darnedest calls sometimes." For the past five years that she's lived near the Canada Forces Station, Heal has been running the "Aldergrove outpost of Pets Limited," a non-profit pet placement service founded several years ago in North Vancouver. Typkally, people who are moving and need to find a new home for Fido will call Pets Limited to be put on a placement list. Another list of people looking for specific types of dogs is kept, and matches are made after the dog has been checked out. m&? The servke is free of charge, although donations according to :'at>ility are requested to keep up with expenses of boarding kennels, veterinarians and food. Heal prides herself on doing a thorough job of screening both the pets and the prospective owners, too. She refuses to deal in guard- Cornelia Heal type dogs; that's a specialty she's not prepared to get into. These are family type pets, spayed or neutered, and temperament tested by Heal, a registered trainer with many years experience. "I've always found homes. Euthanasia is only for those with severe behavior problems, and in the five years I've only had two. Biting — in good conscience I will not give out a dog that's unstable. I can't. "And I guarantee the match if it doesnt work out. I tell as much as I know about the dog, the former owner and tell them to give ft a fak shot, but if they can't live with the dog they can give it back. Thek reasons are added notes on that dog, and I keep all records of all my matches," said Heal. "I quiz people quite seriously and educate them as to what breed is suitable for thek needs. Like the Lassie syndrome, a gorgeous collie, but do you understand the upkeep for that coat? If you've got little kids a Pomeranian is not right, because two year olds with no ill intent are not the gentlest creatures. A dog is liable to nip if it's hurt. "Logk has to rule as well as the heart," said Heal. She publicizes the servke in The Star, as well as the Abbotsford News and North Shore News. This year she's placed 131 dogs, with donations ranging from $20 to $200, or servkes in exchange. Many support her in this community, and Heal says she has a lot of thanks for people like vet, Dr. Gordon Games, "a wealth.of information. He really believes in what we're doing."

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 SHOP AT HOME ALDERGROVE - Come sec us first 5 GREAT REASONS TO SHOP AT HOME Dog adoptees always in need of more friends From page 15... Aldergrove-based president .of B.C. Pit Bull Association volunteered to help Heal put together a newsletter on her computer. Others provide emergency "foster parenting" or help out at fund- raising bake and garage sales. "We all work together, help each other out. It's greatly appreciated to have volunteers because I'm shy, I have trouble imposing on anybody," said Heal. Fenced yards are also mandatory to stop dogs from being run over or getting into livestock. "There are a lot of people from the city who think it's a dog's God-given right to roam at large. It's irresponsible and a great misconception." Heal's father was a German Shepherd breeder in Hamburg, Germany, but Cornelia chose to pursue a university degree and a career in educational software. However, she got into pet photography, then a dog trainer job in North Vancouver before moving with her family to the valley. "It must have been karma that I ended up back with the dogs," laughs Heal. Hei* two dogs, Tessa and Cedric are former adoptees that she ended up keeping for herself, as well as numerous cats and a couple horses. "An ex-rodeo rider who liked what I was doing gave me a $2,500 horse with papers free." Between the dogs and four children of her own, she does make time to ride and loves the lifestyle here. And the chickens? She got a call from someone that a chicken was running on the highway at 272 Street late one night, saying, "Can I do something? As a matter of fact we did. People must have thought we were not quite sane, and I was pregnant at the time, but we caught it and shipped it to a friend's house where it runs with the other chickens. "We cant work miracles, and I don't have jurisdiction over funds. I have to phone the treasurer to see what we've got when we get priority placements. Kennels are expensive, but we can usually help out. We'll work something out." Unless it's an emergency try to call Heal at a reasonable hour. She's glad to help man's best friend any way she can.

ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, My husband and I have been married for three years. We have not slept together for the past two years. He has his own bedroom and I have mine. We do not get along and when he is at home I try to be away and vice versa. I know he is seeing another woman because I have found clues on his clothes and in his address book. This doesn't bother me that much because I have been seeing other men for the past two years. One especially has been seeing me more than the others and I think he is very interested. He will not commit however, until I move out on my husband. My question is this: do you think I should move out and take a chance that my regular guy will marry me? Or should I stay where I am until I get a decent offer? I am not unhappy with the present arrangement because I have a place to sleep and eat and it is very convenient to the stores. Signed: Tammy. Dear Tammy, You have got to be kidding me! I have never heard anything so heartless as what I read in your letter. For Pete's sake get out of this marriage. See a lawyer and get things started right now. To recommend therapy at this point I'm sure would do no good. I can't believe that you and your husband have been living under these conditions for two years. We would all be in a sorry state if everyone was as unfeeling as you and your husband. Dear Annabelle, Why do the super markets wet down their vegetables? When you pick up any vegetable in the bins it is soggy with water that been sprayed on it. If you don't get it in a plastic bag right away, all your other groceries are soggy as well. Oh, it makes me mad. Signed: A customer. Dear customer, The supermarkets do this to make all the vegetables look appealing, fresh and crisp. Maybe if you asked the manager of the produce department to stop this practice it might end. Although, don't count on it. ♦ ♦ * Did you see the sign in the "all-you-can eat for $2" Irish restaurant? "Please be sated."

T— - ww + VANCOUVER - Motorists in B.C. pay millions of dollars in gasoline taxes which should be used to finance road construction and maintenance. They should not be subject to -additional taxes simply because the money collected goes into general revenue, according to the BC Automobile Association. Responding to a suggestion by the BC Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association that the provincial government consider a temporary surtax on Vancouver Island to revive construction of the Island Highway, BCAA notes that some $320-million in gas taxes are already collected annually by the province. "It's estimated that approximately $600-million is needed to finish the Island Highway construction. If the money Victoria akeady collects on each liter of gasoline was put toward road construction and maintenance, instead of being dropped into the non-specific 'general revenue1 area, it would go a long way to having improved roadways and a true 'user pay' system," says John Ratel, BCAA's director of government affairs. "And if all levels of taxation on gasoline were applied back to transportation, we'd see that some $750-million per year is generated by'The BCrfiotbrisfe"'' 20 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 12. 1992 ^ - r . . m -^ -^ Has Madonna got Clmic ,0 be °Pened m BC the right stuff? By NICHOLAS FARRELL LONDON - If Madonna were stripped of her fame, would anyone, let alone any man, regard her as beautiful? Would anyone - the tabloids, Men Only, Picasso - pay her to pose and ask her to dance? The vital statistics are unremarkable: 33C-23-33 and 5 ft. 4 in. When she moves, her muscles and veins flex manfully after years of "working out". The jaw line is crooked, the chin geriatric. The lips have been injected with Collagen. Yet Madonna, 34, nee Louise Ciccone, the daughter of a Detroit car worker, is the female icon of the age. And connoisseurs of the female form are puzzled. Is her fame for songs like Material Girl and Like a Virgin the only fig leaf her body has left? David Sullivan, pornographer and owner of Britain's Sunday Sport, is in no doubt "We wouldn't put her in Readers' Wives (an item to which male readers are invited to contribute pictures of thek naked spouses). I don't think she's that attractive, basically. Wouldn't make it as a centerfold. They've got to have an exceptionally attractive face, an exceptionally attractive body. She'd fail on both counts. "She's go a funny shape. She looks a little bit dirty. She's got better with plastic surgery, though." Before fame, Madonna once posed for nude shots for $20 an hour. But Paul Raymond, owner of Mayfair and Men Only, two of Britain's best known girlie magazines, says: "I wouldn't give her a second look. I wouldn't pay her more than $400 for a nude shot if she were not known." No luck in Raymond's Revue Bar either. Too short for a start. "For the show we go for tallish, slimmish giris with good firmish breasts - but not too large." He sums up: "You really can't put her in the same class as Marilyn Monroe or the other great stars. I've tried to work it all out. It's just amazing hype and of course she's made a number of hit records and that has put her name there." Jonathan Richards, editor of Penthouse, in which pictures of Madonna have appeared in the past, says: "If Madonna were not Madonna without all the media trappings and just plain Louise Ciccone I'd be rather dubious about using her. The one area she would score well is that she photographs very well. She knows how to address the camera. "The classic Penthouse girl remains what it has always been. She would invariably have shoulder length hair which Madonna doesn't. As far as vital statistics are concerned I'd suggest that Madonna is on the small side. Our readers look for perhaps a slightly more pronounced physique; a more generous cleavage." Sing me a new song By KURT LANGMANN Madonna is making quite a bit of. noise with her new pricey, soft-porn coffeetable book. Called "Sex", the book of photos and Madonna's words of wisdom has been a preoccupation for the media, as well as the public. All the publicity reminds us of a line from David (formerly half of the duo, David & David) Baerwald's 1990 recording, Bedtime Stories, in a song called Liberty Lies: "It's like I'm walking through Rome, tenements all torn apart, instead of Nero we've got Madonna, she's fiddling with herself..." Wood is beautiful! FORT LANGLEY - An exhibit detailing the science and beauty of wood comes to the Langley Centennial Museum and National Don't spill the oil BURNABY - Used motor oil is by far the largest contributor to our hazardous waste problem, and there is something we can all do about it. Recycling motor oil is the best answer we've come up with, and it's time to stop dumping it. About 12 percent of the nation's used motor oil ends up in landfills, sewers or ditches, and the heavy metals which leach into the environment are quite dangerous. Under a new regulation in the Waste Management Act, oil retailers must have signs explaining to customers how thek used oil can be recycled. It can be returned to the place of purchase or a nearby garage. For more information call the GVRD's recycling hotline, R- E-C-Y-C-L-Ea32-9253):v'^?i''"'x, Exhibition Centre, Dec. 13 to Jan. 17.

Rehab has announced the establishment of a Post Polio Respiratory Outreach Clinic to be opened on November 12, at George Pearson Centre. "The resource requirement for the clinic was accomplished by reallocating resources within our society", said Fraser. In the early 1950's a serious polio outbreak bit British Columbia. In Vancouver a respiratory polio wing was built at George Pearson Hospital to accommodate the surge of patients whose breathing muscles and organs were shut down by this disease. Polio patients arriving at George Pearson Hospital in the 1950's were not expected to survive. Forty years later, most of this population are doing fine. Many became well enough to leave the hospital and return to the community. It is estimated there are over 150,000 polio survivors in Canada and researchers indicate nearly all of them will suffer from a post polio syndrome at sometime during thek life. Pearson wants to take the lead in ensuring the provision of appropriate community care and services for the post polio population in B.C. B.C. Rehab has partnered with the Post Polio Awareness and Support Society of British Columbia for the planning and development of a Provincial Post Polio Clinic. There are currendy 2,400 registered polio survivors residing in B.C. The Ministry of Health, Vital Statistics Department estimate there are 10,000 to 15,000 polio survivors in B.C. B.C. Rehab currendy provided a Post Polio Respiratory Outreach Program. This program includes the acquisition, repak, and maintenance of respiratory equipment, education, medical supplies and scheduled Respk- atory Therapy services. The Post Polio Respiratory Outreach Clinic has been established to provide improved community care. The establishment of a comprehensive Provincial Post Polio Outreach Program encompassing a wide range of clinical services is our next goal for British Columbia", states Fraser. "We want to provide all appropriate support systems for the post polio population.'' THERE MUST BE A BETTER ANSWER. Dealing with telephone answering machines can be a major operation.

Docks being upgraded NEW WESTMINSTER - The Fraser River Harbour Commis- sion is spending $1.6-mi!lion upgrading its Fraser Surrey Docks to meet increased demands both for export and import cargoes. The money is being spent for two new buildings providing an additional 66,000 square feet of covered storage for cargoes such as kiln-dried lumber and steel. The commission will also be upgrading an existing building for the storage of pulp. This will increase the total covered storage space for weather-sensitive cargo to 250,000 square feet. Fraser Surrey Docks Ltd., the private management company operating FSD, has also committed more than $2.8- million for the replacement and addition of equipment, as well as upgrading computer technology. Fraser Surrey Docks Ltd. has experienced a significant growth in business since the ownership of the company changed late last year.

As a leader in environmental initiatives, Kwantlen College was recently invited by UBC to give an overview on implementing and maintaining a comprehensive paper recycling program. The university and GVRD co-sponsored an all-day workshop November 7, on waste reduction and recycling for colleges and universities in British Columbia called "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Education By Example". "We're moving forward at the college in several envkonmental areas," says Craig Regan, campus supervisor at Surrey. "This is how we do business now. We recycle all our paper - including out-of- date textbooks which would otherwise go in the landfill." At the UBC workshop Regan will present his case study of the "three-component" paper recycling program now in effect at the college. He says, "With hindsight, I'll explain how to put together a cost efficient plan that faculty, staff, visitors and students can all participate in." One of the reasons for the Kwantlen success is the Envkonmental Working Group on each campus - an advisory group made up of volunteer staff, faculty and students - which takes initiatives, cases and experiences and applies them to the college environmental objectives. Examples of this include the use of integrated pest management techniques for grounds maintenance. This employs organic growing methods and biological control of pests. Another example involves using an on-campus composting system, so food wastes from the cafeteria will be combined with grass cuttings and chipped tree and shrub printings to produce mulch for the flower beds and rose bushes. On the Newton campus a wide variety of materials generated by the trades and vocational programs are being diverted from landfill - recyclables such as motor oils, hydraulic fluids, antifreeze, batteries, cutting fluid, tires and masonry debris. Kwantlen has instituted a comprehensive paper recycling program, and through a recent waste audit and consultation with contractors and brokers, this project will expand to further reduce the college waste stream. This includes a co-mingle system that collects and recycles glass, metal cans, plastics and paper towelling - similar to the Blue Box system now used by the Surrey municipality. "We're not just talking about it," says Regan. "We're actually doing it" Many other concerns have gained momentum with promotional tactics such as "Target Green", an informational approach designed to stimulate envkonmental awareness in the college and the community. At key recycling points in the college, posters are placed and brochures are available describing what each person can do for the envkonment. As part of envkonmental awareness at the college, the working groups have also coordinated Earth Day activities such as workshops, displays and tree . planting events generating strong support from college employees and students. Currently, Regan is working with the municipality of Surrey to install a compost demonstration garden on the Surrey campus Do Your CHRISTMAS SHOPPING early at the annual WINTER TEA & CRAFT SALE Friday.

He says the garden would be similar to an existing one at Crescent Beach with 10 or so working composting systems. It would be on display to the college community and the general public, and may include on-site and educational workshops. "It's exciting to see how little projects, added to more little projects, turn into a global effect," he says. "In one year, we've reduced the amount of waste going to the landfill by 40%. We will easily surpass the Greater Vancouver Regional District's mandate of 50% by about 75% in the next year." "As people in a post- secondary institution, we feel responsible for our behavior as consumers. We want to protect the envkonment and we want to say: 'if we can do it, you can do it too.' We're waking up to the fact that changing our lifestyles and our relationship with the natural wodd does have a positive effect on the global picture."

Kappenstein said that $500 was realized from the sale of hamburgers during the co-op's 70th anniversary "board of directors barbecue" held two weeks ago. The other $200 was from the Cheam Association of Motor Sports, Chilliwack, which held a car rally on the co-op's parking lot and passed along a donation to the co-op's charity of choice.

Close, but not close enough By MAUDIE MACPHERSON ALDERGROVE - The lambs from Mary's fold returned as usual, sadder and wiser. Twice I've come close to being a winner, last year four cars on the. wrong line, this year next machine to a fellow who won nine grand. I must be close to being lucky. I saw the usual odd sights and met a variety of different people but one of the funniest things I can report is a gal sitting on the bus with her umbrella unfurled. Reno does cause strange behaviour. Carpet bowling as usual Thursday. Two carpets were used. I guess a few were indisposed and perhaps some thought the flu shots being given at the hall would interfere with bowling. That was not the case. I'm sure this Thursday the 12th will bring out a record crowd. The Whist Party was smaller than sometimes, seven tables, but everyone reported a good time. Whist is to be held the fkst Thursday of the month rather than the last. Make a note of the change. Haven't had any news from the Art Club but saw some nice pictures in West Oaks Mall painted by a member of the Aldergrove Art Club. Forty-eight attended the Wednesday dance. 50-50 went to Urna Lowen and Roger Dorn. Spot dance was won by Gwen Keay and Barney Goble. On Saturday about seventy attended the dance. Door prizes went to Vern Nash and Ray Dearing. 50-50 to Pete Kebolo and Eleanor Anderson. Spot dance went to Roy and Eva Tompkinson and Eleanor Anderson and Charlie Milward. This week Norm Gunther and his Peppy Shakers will provide the musk*. The theme of the Remembrance Day Service I attended Sunday was "Why wear a Poppy?" Old memories that touched everyone were recalled and as I thought of what those times were like I wondered, "Where have we gone wrong?" Why should there be such concern for the safety of our children and young, people. When the war ended we were so full of hope for a better way of life. Why have we failed? Remembrance Day Service Wednesday Nov. 11 will be held at the Legion. It's a time for reflecting back and remembering those who never had a chance to grow old. The General Meeting of the O.A.P. was held Friday Nov. 6. Several items of business were settled. A pot luck dinner will be held the last Sunday of the month. The Christmas dinner date was set for probably Dec. 8. A little thing overheard at a.. dance - not our dance of course. It seems two fellows were talking.

The local tax support in the preliminary budget's 6.6 percent increase breaks down to an average 86 cents per person more next year. Overall local tax support represents an average $16.68 per capita cost, or $1.39 per month. "Essentially, this budget falls short in terms of what we should be providing to the community that's expanding at the rate we're seeing in the Fraser Valley. Our patrons simply won't be getting the selection, the service, opening hours or technology they need," said library executive dkector Gordon Ray. In fact, FVRL's per capita income falls well below the $22 provincial average. If local tax support were to meet the provincial average level, the library would receive a $2.5 million boost That's a world of difference in terms of the level of service, equipment and materials that's possible," Ray added. FVRL, B.C's largest library system, is also the lowest funded in the province as well, due to limited local tax support. "We have been traditionally underfunded for many years and this budget reflects that constant struggle," commented Ray. The library serves some 459,030 valley residents, from Ladner to Boston Bar, with a full-time staff of 148 - only 25 of whom are professional librarians. By comparison, the . Vancouver Public Library served about 432,385 people and received $17.7 in million muncipal support this year. That library The town is growing By EVELYN UNDERWOOD ALDERGROVE - This town is expanding and the Thrift Shop has more customers than ever. We also have a regular supply of donations to stock our two shops. We appreciate the generosity of all the people who deliver items and take this opportunity to request that things be in good repak and clean. Not only is the stock donated but also every hour needed to staff and run the Thrift Shop. We are all volunteers, some help once a week on a regular basis, some twice a week, some when they have the time and some almost daily. A minimum of 240 volunteer hours are put in just keeping the shop open Tuesday to Saturday. This doesn't include those kind people who cut rags and the time spent keeping the books, banking, folding and transporting cardboard, delivering to other organizations that need our help and supplying rags to local companies. New faces are always welcome. We can always find work for new volunteers. Drop in between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday, stay a while and get involved. Hollowe'en is over for another year. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves. The children will need unsticking from the ceiling, by then it will be Christmas. So soon. Summer won't be far behind. We gave $500 to each of the following, Woithington Pavillion, The Cottage, Maple Hill, Cedar Hill and Jackman Manor. This money will be used for extra Christmas treats for the residents. We also donated $500 to the Ride for Sight, 1992. Motor cyclists of B.C. have held this event for 10 years. They hope to raise one million dollars this year for research for the cure to Retinitis Pigmentosa. This disease can occur at any age but most commonly occurs in young adults and results in blindness. The Aldergrove Boys Basketball team were given $500 toward a trip to Florida. Good luck, boys.

Vancouver Island Regional Library's 1992 municipal contribution almost matched FVRL's even though the library serves a far smaller —356,712 people. So, proportionately it, too, enjoys a more generous tax support than the Fraser Valley. FVRL board members will present the budget to local municipal councils in the weeks to come. The board 'will then vote on the budget, which must be tabled with the provincial government by next spring. Some 2.1 per cent of the proposed increase represents the library's commitment to open new branches in Mission and Walnut Grove. Increasing demands from rapid population growth, the rising cost of library materials and the impact of GST are also stressing the library's finances, added Ray. While budgeting formulas are based on a provincial population estimate of 459,030, a federal census recorded 474,683 Fraser Valley residents last year.

According to Pastor Wright, the use of volunteers and already existing channels cuts overhead expense to a minimum. "More than 90 cents of every dollar received is used in community service programs,'' he said, "Only about 10% of the total budget for the church's humanitarian projects comes from this appeal. The rest is provided by church members." Pastor Wright noted that funds received are divided among local, provincial, and international community service programs. The center in Aldergrove, located at 26245 - 28th Avenue, will receive a percentage of the proceeds for stop-smoking plans, health screening clinics, and emergency disaster relief. ST.

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 Scholarships grow throughout district LANGLEY - The Langley Scholarship Committee announce that once again this year, 1992 graduates from the eight secondary schools in Langley have won large numbers of scholarships and bursaries. Graduates won 46 provincial scholarships provided by the provincial government for those students who scored over 1,700 points on three scholarship exams written in June. Langley Secondary students won 10, Brookswood Secondary 10, Poppy Secondary 11, Aldergrove Secondary 4, Mountain Secondary 5, H.D. Stafford 3, Walnut Grove Secondary 3- In addition, students who specialize in fine arts, business education, technology, industrial education, etc., won 11 district scholarships worth $500, plus another $500 when the students enrol in a post-secondary institution. Graduates also won major awards from universities and colleges across the country. The Langley Scholarship committee has the job of screening applicants from each secondary school to ensure that graduates meet the standards and criteria set by the various donors of the local awards. The scholarship counsellors from the high schools put in many hours preparing the students, helping them with applications, and serving on the Langley Scholarship Committee. The counsellors for this year were Chris Arcari (LSS), Bill Singer (ASS), Bert Pond (MSS), Molly Payne (DWP), Doug Mason (HDS), Joanne Lauber (WGS), Diane Nercessian (LEC), and Kyo Hamade (BSS) The local donors, who include businesses, parents groups, service clubs, the Langley Teachers Association, private donors, CUPE locals, political and work associations, memorial awards, and trusts set up by individuals, clubs and families, are to be commended for their contributions over the past 36 years. Many groups have increased the amounts that they donated this year because they realize the greatly-increased costs of attending post secondary institutions. Without the support of all these groups, many of our students would not be able to continue with their education. A drop in interest rates has unfortunately lowered the amount of money available from trust accounts.

Housing construction is expected to benefit from low mortgage rates, high in-migration, and a slightly stronger economy over the forecast period. Housing starts are forecast at 39,600 units '-. 1992 and 40,500 units in 1993. "The 1993 starts forecast was revised lower in light of a weaker economic outlook and some supply constraints," said Helmut Pastrick, regional economist. "However, the housing recovery is expected to continue into next year," he added. Nationally, housing starts are forecast to rise to 166,000 units in 1992 and to 179,000 units in 1993- Only Alberta and Saskatchewan are expected tq have fewer starts in 1993- Ontario is forecast to have a good starts rebound next year. Nurses welcome labor bill fr VANCOUVER - The British Columbia Nurses' Union has welcomed Bill 84 as the "end of the conflict ridden, undemocratic era of labour relations under Bill 19." Speaking on behalf of the 23,000 member BCNU, executive councillor Ross Arnot said the iunion is generally pleased with the legislation, but disappointed that sectoral bargaining was not included. "There are significant changes in certification procedures which combined with first contract mediation and arbitration and the anti-scab law will bring more democracy to the economy and assist workers to join unions." :?Wm "However we do not anticipate far-reaching consequences because employers retain the right to interfere in the decision of workers to unionize, and because the government failed to introduce a more fundamental reform of labour relations through sectoral bargaining." Coping with holidays? LANGLEY - Family Services is presenting a one evening workshop on 'Coping With The Holidays.' Christmas is a very difficult time for people who are grieving. The ' emphasis on family gatherings, gift-giving, and Christmas parties are poignant reminders that this Christmas will be the first Christmas without the loved one present. This one night session will provide information of the grief process and look at ways of coping with the holidays. It takes place on Tuesday, December 8 from 7:30 p.m to 9=30 p.m Pre- registration required. No fee. To register call Agnes Macham at Langley Family Services, 534- 7921. Childcare opens up at UCFV campuses THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 12. 1992 Landfill recycling f| to be tried by GVRD 25 ABBOTSFORD - New childcare centres will open in September 1993 at both the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses of the University College of the Fraser Valley. The campaign to provide more childcare facilities at the university college received boosts from the Kiwanis Club of Clearbrook and the provincial government this year. "After many months of negotiation, at least three major proposals, a needs assessment of UCFV students, and years of waiting for this kind of support, it has finally all come together," said UCFV Early Childhood Education program head Linda Matwichuk, who chaired a childcare committee which lobbied for the centres. UCFV already provides some childcare through its Student Teaching Centre in Abbotsford, where Early Childhood Education students gain practical experience caring for children of UCFV students, faculty and staff, and some community members. However, the current centre is not equipped or licensed to handle infants and toddlers, and no childcare is available at the Chilliwack Campus. The ECE department will use the new centres as teaching labs as well, allowing students to gain practical exp>erience in childcare techniques before going on to careers in childcare. Applications for spaces for next September in both the Chilliwack and Abbotsford campus childcare centres are now being accepted. Call 854- 4547 for more information. BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District in College needed VANCOUVER - Delegates attending the British Columbia Nurses' Union annual convention in Vancouver Oct. 7 decisively moved to push for the formation of a College of Nursing. B.C. Nurses' Union president Debra McPherson said that BCNU members were "absolutely clear" on this action. "The formation of a college will end years of confusion over which organization should have the main responsibility for professional regulation and discipline. It will also make the discipline process more accountable to the public." co-operation with the Municipality of Delta and the City of Vancouver is proposing to use recycled municipal wastewater sludge as a soil amendment to promote plant growth on closed portions of the Vancouver Landfill at Bums Bog in Delta. Ten hectares on the closed area of the landfill will be used for a recycling project which uses treated wastewater sludge as a nutrient supplement for plants and trees. Sludge is made of the organic solids that settle out in the treatment of municipal wastewater. After drying it looks and feels much like good quality topsoil. In sludge applications the GVRD will meet all B.C. Environment requirements for protecting public health and he environment. It's Time To Play...

"Sure you remember. Sonnet 23? The Lord is my shepherd." Riding the farm fence MURRAYVILLE - Councilors will ride the fence on this one, said township Mayor John Beales. "We are not acting on it, and at best council will walk the middle line." Comment followed the reading of a letter from a local farmer who would like to grow mobile homes on his land. Adolf Stelter has applied to the Agricultural Land Commission for a redesignation of his 152 acre dairy farm at 2906 - 232 Street. He cited the economic conditions and the difficulty of keeping on farming in the midst 11 "Showpiece MURRAYVILLE - Development in this central part of Langley township was referred to by a local council member Monday night as extremely important. Coun. Aubrey Searle said the Murrayville Center, perhaps because of the governmental complex it surrounds, is to be the "showpiece" of Langley. of an encroaching urban environment as the reason for the application. Stelter would like to cut the acreage up into smaller parcels of five to 20 acres in size. Reaction from councilors was ' mixed. "I am delighted that we have a real farmer enlighten us," said Coun. John Scholtens. "Farming is tough enough not to have to worry about neighbors and smells. My heart goes out to the Stelter family." Beales referred to the property as "marginal (farm) land." Coun. Muriel Arnason, on the other hand, said she was "most upset" by the whole idea and that the mayor's assessment was nothing but supposition. "There is farming going on in that area," she said. Stelter said the land is classified as 4 through 7, and that he is unable to support more than one cow per two acres. He also said he has had problems with neighbors complaining about farming practices. Subscribers to the ALDERGROVE STAR get val.ue...

NOVEMBER 12. 1992 31 A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Answers about hepatitis B (The following column was written by Terry Dickson, Infection Control Officer at Langley Memorial Hospital.) As an Infection Control Nurse I get asked many questions about. Hepatitis "B". Is it contagious? Is it fatal? Who should be vaccinated for Hepatitis "B"? Hepatitis "B" is a viral infection which is found worldwide. It can be transmitted at birth from mother to child or acquired later in life. Fortunately, Hepatitis "B" is much less prevalent in Canada than in many other areas of the world. However, it is increasing. Only three cases of Hepatitis "B" were reported in all of Canada in 1969; by 1987, the number had risen to 3,005! These numbers only represent cases which were reported and the true incidence is thought to be much higher. Worldwide Hepatitis "B" affects more than 50 million people annually and causes an estimated 2 million deaths each year. The virus itself is present in virtually all body fluids of infected individuals. It is quite a hardy virus, unlike the AIDS virus and can survive for long periods of time outside the body. Thus there is a high risk of infection from blood-stained clothing, contaminated surfaces, etc. Contact with infected saliva, semen, sweat, urine and even tears - could result in transmission, as could sharing of needles, tooth brushes or unprotected sex. Many times the route of transmission cannot be identified because the incubation period can be as long as 12 weeks. Once infected with the Hepatitis "B" virus many different outcomes are possible. The first is a complete recovery. However, one may also recover but go on to become a chronic carrier of the virus. This means that one's body fluids are quite infectious to others. Chronic carriers may develop chronic liver disease and cirrhosis and die from liver failure. They also have a 30 percent increased chance of developing carcinoma of the liver. The third possible outcome after becoming infected with the Hepatitis "B" virus is to develop a fatal infection and die. There is no cure, no specific and effective treatment therapy for Hepatitis "B". But there is protection. Effective immunization is available with a Hepatitis "B" vaccine. The vaccine is synthetically produced and therefore there is no risk of blood contaminants. No serious reactions attributable to the vaccine have ever been reported. It is a safe and effective protection from the Hepatitis "B" virus. As with most things, certain people are at an increased risk of acquiring the disease and those people are: • Health care workers (doctors, nurses, dentists, etc.) • Firemen • Policemen • I.V. Drug Users • Those having unprotected sex • Homosexually active men • Hemophiliacs • Residents of Institutions for the mentally handicapped • Immigrants of South East Asia. Langley Memorial Hospital has one of the most comprehensive programs for immunizing its employees against the Hepatitis "B" virus in B.C. In conclusion, I would like to give you the answers to those common questions often asked. Is it contagious? YES. Is it fatal? YES. Who should be vaccinated? Those who are in the high risk group. Transit freezes salaries VANCOUVER - BC Transit chair, Eric Denhoff, announced all senior management salaries at the provincial Crown corporation have been frozen pending the outcome of a management review -to be completed by November 15. "I will roll back any excessive raises which might have been given to senior management prior to the election of the new government last year. No salary increases for senior managers have been allowed this year. Further, senior managers will not receive any raises this year even if their previous increases are justifiable," says Denhoff. The independent management review is being conducted by B.C. Rail president, Paul McElligott, and B.C. Federation of Labour president, Ken Georgetti, who is also on the board of directors of BC Transit. A committee of the board is examining all management salary increases over the past several years. In addition to the management salary freeze and review, Denhoff has ordered more than $14- million in spending cuts for this year at Transit. Bans are in effect on travel, excessive use of consultants, and in other areas. He said both management and labor will have to tighten their belts as a result of the tough fiscal situation the province finds itself in and noted the top 60 union workers received salaries of between $60,000 and $102,000 last year. BC Transit and the union representing drivers, mechanics and SkyTrain workers are in the middle of contract negotiations. BC Transit has offered two per cent in the first and second years, and a COLA increase in the third year, capped at two per cent. The current rate of pay for a driver is $19.68 per hour and a tradesperson earns $22.58. This current offer would mean an increase of approximately 40 cents per hour in each of the three years. If accepted, it would cost Transit $15.1-million over the next three years. The union has demanded an increase of between $2 and $3 an hour which would cost roughly $100-million over the next three years. Chemical dependency a major concern in B.C. VANCOUVER - British Columbia leads the rest of Canada and forty American states in the consumption of alcohol per capita - approximately 80% of British Columbia's population consumes alcohol, and over one third of the population uses marijuana. These alarming statistics are among the reasons why the Chemical Dependency Resource Team at Vancouver General Hospital says that chemical dependency is a major health care problem in British Columbia. "Statistically, up to 40% of patients admitted to the hospital in both Canada and the U.S. enter in some stage of chemical dependency, and are in the hospital with illness or injury that is related to their dependency in some way," pointed out Marelyn Rugg, clinical nurse specialist. .A dependency exists when the use of chemical substances such as alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, prescribed ■ or non-prescribed drugs causes problems in one or more areas of your life such as health, family, employment, or a legal situation. These startling statistics are reflected in the number of alcohol-related hospital admissions - more than 50% of emergency admissions in B.C. are alcohol related. "Alcohol is by.far the drug-Sof choice among the people we see. Dependency upon it and other drugs crosses all socioeconomic groups," stated Tom Shenton, social worker. "However, the incidence of people using more than one drug is evident among patients who come to VGH, with an increase in heroin over the past year." Hospital patients who suffer from a chemical dependency may also face other complications. These patients often stay longer than others because of more complex conditions, multi-trauma injuries, delayed wound healing, and restricted family supports and resources. At VGH in 1991-'92, chemically dependent patients had an -average hospital stay of 19.3 days compared to 8.8 for other patents. "Identification of the chemically dependent patient is essential," emphasized Marelyn Rugg. Fortunately, health care professionals . at VGH are beginning to receive training from CDRT in the identification of chemical dependency. As a result, they are able to recognize patients with a chemical dependency and take proper steps to refer them to appropriate resources in the hospital or community. "Although it is very important for people to recognize the extent to which chemical dependency is prevalent in our society, it is even more important for them to realize that in its earlier stages it is one of the most treatable conditions there is. It is just getting started toward recovery that is difficult," stressed Tom Shenton. At VGH, 45% of chemically dependent patients who have consulted with the Chemical Dependency Resource Team choose to enter community treatment. This may consist of outpatient counselling, support recovery homes, residential treatment, or self-help programs. The Chemical Dependency Resource Team at VGH is a multi-disciplinary group consisting of a social worker, clinical nurse specialist, and physician who mandate it is to assess, educate, intervene, and counsel patients at VGH who are identified as chemically dependent, and refer them to community resources for treat-' ment. They have received over 1,100 referrals since the program began three years ago. A "Western Gentleman" named senior of year VANCOUVER - Mart Kenney of Mission has been chosen as this year's B.C. Senior of the Year. Ted Charlton, president of Brock House Society, announced the winner of the ninth annual award and said that Kenney will receive a $10,000 tax-free grant from Hongkong Bank of Canada and the Brock House Society Medal. "Mart Kenney is a tremendous citizen and senior British Columbian. It is most fitting that his inspiration and dedication to service be honored and recorded in the history of our province," says Maurice Mourton, executive vice-president, Hongkong Bank of Canada. - Many 'will remember Mart Kenney as leader of "Canada's number one Big Band"...'Mart Kenney and His Western Gentlemen'. The band, established in 1931, played across the country for servicemen during the 'war years' and in dance halls and theatres for lovers of jazz and the Big Band sound through the '30s, '40s and '50s. It is Kenney's community service, however that has thrust him into the limelight this time. The unassuming Kenney says, "There is not a day where I don't have something to do. I just feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to take a whack at this." Retirement has clearly never been a part of this 82-year old's plan. Currently a director for the Lions Society for Children with Disabilities, Kenney has served on the board for many years. He was first vice-chairman for the National Easter Seal Broadcast Committee in Toronto. In March 1948, when radio was all there was, "Timmy's Easter Parade of Stars" was launched from Maple Leaf Gardens to the CBC Radio network. In 1980 Kenney received the country's highest honour when he was appointed Member of the Order of Canada. The Order of Canada medal is inscribed with words which, translated from the Latin read: "They desire a better country." His 'desire for a better country' is perhaps best reflected in the words of one close friend who said: "Mart taught me the value and importance of being of service to your community and country, outside of your professional commitments." Active politically, Kenney served as alderman for the city of Mission for two terms. A Director on the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Mission Medium Security Institution and a Regional Community Board Flourishing business MONTREAL - A huge contraband tobacco business is flourishing in Canada and producing massive profits for individuals and organized crime groups. A report released by Lindquist Avey Macdonald Baskerville Inc., a Toronto-based forensic and investigative accounting practice, estimates the value of the contraband tobacco trade last year at $998.7-million. One in nine packages of cigarettes consumed in Canada last year was contraband, according to the report. Member on the National Parole Board, Mart received the Commissioner's Citatiot, for Meritorious Service from Corrections Service of Canada in 1983. Kenney is currently a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee to the University College of the Fraser Valley and the Mission Heritage Association. As a musician he enjoyed 12 professional engagements last year and is to be honoured this month in an awards ceremony by the Toronto Musicians' Association of which he is a Life Member. An award's banquet in Mart Kenney's honour will be held November 18 in Vancouver. Special guest Grace McCarthy will present Kenney's award.
