5t!£. ^^?^^?*S^^Syl!iS} iiil'l^* It's green light for gas wells VICTORIA. - Applications from Conoco Canada Ltd., BC Gas Inc. and Dynamic Oil Ltd. to drill two exploratory natural gas wells in the Langley area have been approved, Mines Minister Anne Edwards has announced. "The decision is the result of three years of study and public involvement," Edwards said yesterday. "Results of the well drilled in Delta last September showed there were no negative impacts, and certainly influenced the decision." The conditions applied to the drilling of the Delta well have also been placed on the Langley wells, following review by more than a dozen government agencies. Conditions the companies must follow include groundwater monitoring by independent professional hydrogeologists before, during and after the drilling, two-hour noise monitoring on and off site, berming and diking the well location to prevent drainage from the site, land reclamation to begin as soon as possible and no later than 14 days after completion of the project, and the formation of a citizens advisory council to identify any additional requirements as the project proceeds. "The Langley citizens advisory council will remain in existence throughout the drilling process to ensure that local community concerns are immediately recognized and addressed," said Edwards. "This type of council dealt successfully with local issues for the Delta well and we expect the Langley group will play a similar role. %* Mission kids Shane Matheson, 9, and Robbie Ellerbeck, 8, show off hats you can make at the free Matsqui Trail Celebration August 16 at Matsqui Trail Regional Park.

Old cabin lives on ALDERGROVE - A heritage log cabin, more than 100 years old, could be moved to Aldergrove Lake Regional Park. The 16 foot by 20 foot homesteader's cabin, built by Thomas Shortreed in the 1880s, is on a site, south of Aldergrove, that is slated for subdivision. The owner has offered the structure to the Alder Grove Heritage Society free of charge. The Greater Vancouver Regional District park committee has agreed to a request to relocate the cabin at the regional park provided a community group or service club takes responsibility for the project and outside resources are found to move and restore it. Heritage buildings are located on a number of GVRD parks, including Campbell Valley in Langley, Deas Island in Delta and Crippen on Bowen Island.

AUGUST 6. 1992 Japanese visitors enjoy visit to Langley ALDERGROVE - Ten students and a teacher from the Okayama area of Japan are enjoying themselves while learning our language and culture over the next three weeks. Aged 16 to 18 years, the group is staying with host families through the Cultural Homestay Institute. The daily itinerary includes several hours of lessons at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, with host, teacher and co-ordinator Laurie Lowrie. Lowrie told The Star that she and her family have hosted students before but teaching is a first for her. "It's scary, but a lot of fun," she grinned. She explained that the students "must work after school to pay for the trip. They save for two or three years, it's very expensive at about $4,000 each. But you build valuable friendships. We hosted our last student in April and she's coming back to spend Christmas with us." Nitrate a problem, says report ABBOTSFORD - An Environment Canada report says that nitrate levels in some private wells here are two to three times the allowable limits, and has blamed poor practices on the part of farmers and the number of residential septic fields in the growing area. The report, called Pesticides and Nitrates in the Abbotsford Aquifer, is to be released this week. Its author, Hugh Liebscher has been quoted as saying that "nitrates are gradually increasing with time due to traditional land- use practices. The nitrates originated from septic effluent, manure stockpiling and soil enhancement," using high concentrations of poultry manure on farm land. The study found nitrate readings as high as 20 to 30 parts per million in about 10 of 50 private wells tested, compared with the maximum allowable limit of 10 parts per million. Residents with contaminated wells have been advised of the dangers of using their well water. Municipal wells have akeady been found to be safely within all guidelines by provincial and municipal authorities. The study also found one pesticide reading in excess of five parts per billion. This is above the U.S. standard, but there is no Canadian standard. An earlier provincial study found 12 pesticides in the aquifer, which straddles the international border. American authorities have already expessed concern over the findings, which they believe indicate that Canada is the source of the pollution. The students' English was weak but they agreed that they're having good times. "People are really nice, friendly here, don't you think?" said one. Plans include visits to bowling alleys, Royal Hudson to Squamish, waterslides, Vancouver Game Farm and possibly Victoria. Another host, Bruce Strongith- arm said this was his family's second experience at hosting exchange students. The first one was older and more educated so the English was better, but he noted that, "These students are more enthusiastic. They're all eyes." Day trips are also planned. Strongitharm said, "We're going camping, so she's coming with us, and we're also going to Theatre Under The Stars in Stanley Park, we like that sort of outing." The students also take walks through the town together to see what life's like for the average resident. Is Canada 'true land of future'? VANCOUVER - Calling Canada the land of the future, Immigration Minister Bernard Valcourt in Vancouver last month said immigration is good for the country and he would like to see the immigrant quota double. "We are a huge, huge land - the land of the future," Valcourt said. "And we have such a good welfare net - so good you can't get out of it." According to the immigration department's figures, 228,507 immigrants entered Canada in 1991, and the minister said he would like to see that figure raised to 500,000. He said between this year and 1995, the number will be raised to 250,000. Valcourt said he would also like to see more of the independent, skilled classes immigrating to this country. But according to the minister, the immigration system, which has been in place unchanged since 1976, only allows the immigration department itself to select 14 percent of those people applying to get into the country. The rest came in through such programs as family reunification or as refugees. There are some existing laws he said he wovdd like to see changed, such as those dealing with applicants who are not considered to be refugees or investor immigrants "whose money creates jobs in this country." For example, under the family reunification program, Valcourt said he would like to see a broader definition of family and have it restricted only to spouse and dependent children.

[Homes are still selling SURREY - Statistics for July show that the Fraser Valley real estate market is not experiencing the expected seasonal slowdown this year. The market has slowed only slightly with new listings but has remained steady in the number of homes sold. The number of multiple listing sales recorded in July showed only a slight change. The number of units sold was recorded at 1,669, down only .7 percent from the previous month which showed 1,644 units sold. The average price in White Rock and south Surrey showed the most dramatic change, up six percent from June. Mission and Surrey showed only a slight increase of one percent. Areas to record falling prices were Langley and north Delta. Langley was down five percent from June's average, and north Delta down three percent. MATSQUI - The guilty parties were forced to resign, but the embarrassment lives on for management and staff at Abbotsford Airport, after investigators discovered that a pornographic movie had been made at the site by employees. The homemade porn flick was seized in Calgary over three months ago, and it clearly showed the familiar structures of the airport in the background of some scenes. Several Transport Canada employees were investigated in May for inappropriste behavior on federal property, and while no charges were laid, two employees were forced to resign. Officials have refused comment, citing the federal Privacy Act. Eye Examinations ARRANGED! DESIGNER FRAMES GLASSES • FRAMES • REPAIRS 859-7115 NO G.S.T.

"We are sliding blindly toward an abyss," University of Toronto historian Desmond Morton says. "Quebeckers insist that the rest of Canada will negotiate whatever they demand because they interpret selfish, noisy regionalism as the voice of English Canada.

AUGUST 6. 1992 Incinerator on hold ABBOTSFORD - A controversial plan for a contaminated waste incinerator project on Native lands on Sumas Mountain has been put on hold by federal Indian Affairs minister Tom Siddon. The Sumas Band and the private company, Bennett Remediation Services have agreed to stop work on the joint _ project, pending a review by the federal ministries of Native Affairs and Environment. BRS had planned to burn soils contaminated with engine oils, bunker oil and other fuels spilled at service stations, pulp mills and other industrial sites. The project had been approved by Indian Affairs in February, but the protests of Abbotsford mayor George Ferguson and"' the community were heard in Ottawa. Ferguson had promised . an injunction against what he considered an illegal proposition. BRS spokespeople said public process was not required because it was proposed for Native reserve lands. The band would benefit from the project with about 30 jobs, and the emission from the incinerator's smokestack is expected to produce less hazardous gas than a diesel bus tailpipe, said BSR. While Abbotsford experiences some of the worst air pollution problems in the valley because of winds carrying smog up from the lower mainland, and Abbotsford has a standing policy against incinerators in the municipality, BRS said their project would not contribute to any increase of ground levels of ozone or particulates in the air. Abbotsford had rejected a gas- fired electrical co-generation plant proposal whkh recently opened operations in Sumas, Washington. However, environment officials have expressed concern over the lack of detailed information in BSR's proposal. Siddon said approval would only come after the government has completed a review of all environmental aspects of the proposal and public meetings.

AUGUST 6. 1992 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Do not disrupt Editor, The Star.Sir, As a member of the Citizens Advisory Council on the drilling of two exploratory gas wells in Langley, I would like to address some concerns to a handful of people in our community who insisted on disrupting the last two CAC meetings. The purpose of the CAC, as you are well aware, is to address community concerns, should the drilling proceed. The council has many questions to ask the government and company representatives. Many of these "bottom line", or "worst case scenario* types of questions. Here are some examples. What are the contingencies, should one or many people's water be unavailable after the drilling, however remote that possibility? Should there be an Independent review of the companies' liability insurance coverage to ensure that it adequately reflects the costs of all envisioned worse case events? There is a fear of blow-outs — a small number of those occurring elsewhere in the past have been quite severe; the companies and government assure us that the equipment and regulations in place now adequately guard against such events; the opponents doubt that significant changes have been made; so, what are the changes? I believe that the government may be willing to provide the technical information to us. This will give an opportunity for independent review and subsequent recommendations. The answers to these and many other questions are important to you whether you oppose the drilling, support it or dont really care. It is the prerogative of each member of this community to take his/her own independent stand on whether he/she wants drilling to proceed, and to use what ever forums there may be to voice those views. However, a few people have abused their privilege. Friends of the Fraser Valley, you have not exhausted the avenues open to you to try to stop the drilling; perhaps you will even be successful. However, if you are not, then your carefully orchestrated, demeaning and self-serving interruption of the CAC meetings have only served as a tremendous disservice to the people of this community. KEN SUMMERS Aldergrove Peace parks all across the country celebrate Canada Editor, The Star, Sir, The Canada 125 Peace Parks Across Canada Project was Police are doing their very best Editor, The Star, Sk, I would like to add my thoughts to the debate over our police and how they conduct themselves, while protecting us, our property and community. It's easy to. sk back and write letters criticizing how our law enforcement officers conduct themselves while doing thek jobs. In Nora McKain's letters, "Officers should be held accountable and be skilled in the use of their firearms," she stated that, "Those using them should be skilled". Surely she should not be so naive, as to think police officers are not skilled in the use of firearms. Maybe she should do some research on what training police officers take in the use of their firearms. People should think what it would be like day after day, doing routine traffic stops, and walking up to a car, not knowing if the occupant's armed and/or high on drugs. Or walking up to a house answering Great festival Editor, The Star, Sk, Despite experiencing unsettled weather during the Harrison Festival of the Arts this July 4-12, the event was extremely successful this year; As a non-profit organization we rely on the media's support to assist us in publicizing the event and would like to express our gratitude and many thanks for highlighting our festival. We appreciate your support very much and look forward to working with you in the future. PHYLLIS WILSON Executive Director a disturbance call not knowing what's going on, for sure. Wondering if the door will open and someone will appear with a shot gun giving the officers only a split second to respond to the situation, which they are trained to do. Taking a few extra seconds to respond could cost them thek life. Then who would be accountable? A 38 special is not much protection when you come up against the firearms out on the streets today. Not having enough police officers to cover an area the size of Langley and Aldergrove doesn't help matters. How would you like to be an officer sent to break up a fight outside of a bar, knowing your closest cover car would not arrive for three to five minutes? Not knowing for sure if any weapons are involved or how many people will be involved, when you arrive. Or arriving at an M.V.A. involving an impaked driver who has just hit a car head on and having to try to get to the people in the car to see if they are alive, only to find there are five fatalities, a whole family has been wiped out. Then having to inform thek next of kin what has happened. Or to go to a house to investigate a complaint, and find a family all fatally shot due to a murder-suicide. Or to arrest and charge someone, only to find they are back on the street the next day, doing the same thing again. I am sure all who complain and criticize would be very happy to see a police officer if they were being assaulted, raped or robbed. It's easy to complain on how the police do thek job. But the average citizen could not handle thek job and all the stress that goes with it. Why not write about the good things our Langley R.CM.P. do? Such as Block Watch, Block Parents, Citizens Crime Watch Patrol, Victim Services, and programs run in our elementary and high schools. Most of these programs are run by volunteers from our community in conjunction with the R.C.M.P. People should volunteer instead of sitting back and criticizing. It must be pretty frustrating for a R.CM.P. person to go home after working thek shift to pick up a paper and read someone's comment that "Officers should be held accountable for the ruse of thek firearms". The police officer is fully aware that they are held accountable any time he or she fires thek weapon, even if only used to fire a warning shot. Again some research should be done before writing these type of comments. People who write such comments should spend a few shifts on the streets, responding to these types of situations, or join some of the volunteer programs mentioned above and get out of thek little sheltered lives and see what is really going on out there. JIM QUICK Aldergrove launched May 29 at Waterton International Glacier Peace Park in Alberta, Victoria Park in Charlottetown and Seaforth Park in Vancouver. Communities all across. Canada are invited to designate an existing park as thek "Peace Park". Each Peace Park will have a Peace Grove of 12 trees representing our provinces and territories and symbolizing the life, creativity, and hope for the future that thrives in peace. This project has now entered the phase of seeking the participation of municipalities, provincial and federal parks organizations, to designate an existing park within thek community or region as a Peace Park The goal is to have as many Peace Parks as possible dedicated on October 8, at the same time that the National Peacekeeping Monument will be unveiled in Ottawa. This project has the support of a prestigious advisory committee, partners and sponsors as well as the Department of National Defence who has invited its base commanders on a voluntary basis to provide pageantry support for the ceremonies in all communities across Canada. We ask for your support Write or call municipal politicians requesting that the community have a Peace Park Call your local officials to see if they are planning to dedicate a Peace Park; or champion a park yourselves. .

AUGUST 6. 1992 Citizens' Advisory Council chair Robert Durie attempts to keep the peace at their second public meeting last Thursday, while councilors get up to leave. Friends of the Fraser Valley chairman Al Vickers tells the council that gas drilling is "not necessary here," while hydrogeologist Allan Dakin keeps his cool. IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT 'Friends' prepare for last stand' LANGLEY - It was a hot and stormy night when the Friends of the Fraser Valley took thek fight against gas exploration in the valley to the meeting of the provincially-appointed Citizens' Advisory Council, Thursday at Langley Conference Centre. The room was packed and humid, and despite the best efforts of chairman Robert Durie to contain the tempers of several protesters, the councilors agreed thek only option was to cancel the meeting. Durie had attempted to keep order on several occasions, and had called an intermission to allow all to cool off, but shortly after reconvening the meeting, he announced that, "Council has decided there is no point in continuing in this atmosphere." Before the intermission, he said, "The choice is yours. If, because of your opposition you prefer not to take an interest, we will have no choke but to adjourn." Several of the Friends had interrupted the engineering presentation by Allan Dakin, a hydrogeologist with Piteau Associates. Dakin became flustered with the catcalls and accusations, but was trying to complete his analysis of the reports drawn up for last year's drilling in Delta and the two wells planned for Langley township. His credentials and professional opinion was called into question by several persons in the crowd, all of whom were told by Durie that they were out of order. Durie said public questions would be fielded after the presentations, but he was ignored repeatedly. When Dakiri's overhead pro- Ormston then said that Conoco's representative, Bob Spring was scheduled to speak on underground gas storage at the PNE, Sept. 4. MacLean piped in that he was to debate Spring on a CBC broadcast, Sept. 3. Durie tried to interrupt but was shouted down by MacLean, who said, "Shut up. This is just a whitewash, we're not interested in what you have to say." The councilors filed out the door. ili %1l&$ipS§ Margaret Ormston and Charles MacLean were Citizens' Advisory Council that they didnt trust the among the Friends of the Fraser Valley to tell the industry. -Kurt Langmann photos lTOTWlIPUTW' FOOT MM), W Mi "1 3TiP5 OH IT r aj!S 1 €Sj£i jection included a transparency that referred to petroleum drilling and storage, the crowd became incensed. Friends' lawyer Charles MacLean bellowed, "We don't trust you, they put you in charge of the evidence, we want our own evidence." Dakin and Durie tried to tell the protesters that the reference. to storage was there because the transparency had been previously used as evidence in the Commission of Inquiry in Petroleum Exploration and Gas Storage, headed by David Anderson last year, the crowd wasn't buying it. Friends' chairman Al Vickers insisted that the transparency was proof that Conoco and the government intended to pursue underground gas storage in the Fraser Valley. At this point, Durie adjourned the meeting.

Attacks spark 'bearanoia' EAGLE RIVER, Alaska - Experts call it bearanoia. It's the acute fear of bears, such as that which gripped one wide- eyed tourist who quizzed Ranger Marcie Moore about the dangers of Moose Creek, a tiny town that was his next destination. "He said, 'I don't want to go where there are any bears'," said Moore, who is stationed at the Chugach State Park Visitor Center here. "I hated to tell him, but there are bears all over.* Bearanoia is running thick in Alaska, where two people have been killed and partially eaten in separate attacks last month. Vacationer Darcy Staver, 33, of Fort Lewis, Wash, was killed July 8 by a 150-pound black bear that stalked her and broke into her cabin near Glennallen, a town about 150 miles northeast of Anchorage. Two days later, a six-year-old boy named Antone Bear was killed by a young brown bear which snatched the boy as he was walking with his mother on a road in King Cove, a village some 600 miles southwest of Anchorage. The attacks were a conversation topic at the park visitor center surrounded by towering peaks, hanging glaciers and the abundant wildlife that is Alaska's pride and main tourist attraction. "My only thought was, 'Where were these people's minds?1 I can't believe they were out there unarmed," said Lank Snow of Eagle River. Mike McDonald, a bear specialist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said the attacks were coincidental. "You can equate it to having two 747 jetliners crash within two days of each other," he said. "These are real extraordinary things that happen, but they do happen." Only 24 people- have been killed in Alaska by bears since 1900, McDonald said. More people are killed in the state by dogs. Fielding a flood of calls and queries, he and other experts have been repeating their long standing bear advice. Human visitors to bear country should make noise to avoid surprising the animals, they say. When a bear notices you, the best strategy is to stand your ground and talk in an even tone. To run - as Antone Bear did - stimulates the animal's predatory instincts, and bears can easily outrun humans. Alaskans appear unwilling to take chances. Anchorage sports stores were cleaned out on a recent weekend of thek supplies of 'Counter Assault', a pepper- based bear deterrent spray that goes for $40 a can. "Everybody I waited on bought a can or two," said Lynn Gerbig, a clerk at Gary King Sporting Goods. The only spray left on the shelves, she said, was a mugger repellent too weak to faze bruins. "It's for humans. That wouldn't do anything to bears," she said dismissively. McDonald and Moore said they fear a more harsh reaction to the two bear killings. "If people go out and just start shooting at any bear they see, that can be a problem, because they're not easy animals to kill. If you wound one, then you've tripled your trouble right there," McDonald said. "I think there is a possibility of bears being shot at because of bearanoia,* Moore said. Possibly more dangerous are the piles of unattended garbage that are wildlife managers' bane and have multiplied in Alaska, a state with the nation's second- highest population growth rate. Garbage bears, which dine on human trash and learn to associate -people with food, often - become . aggressive and dangerous, McDonald said. Fifteen garbage bears had to be shot last summer in Juneau alone, he said, and Darcy Slaver's killer appeared to be a garbage bear. Raw bearanoia, the biologist admitted, sometimes irritates him. "There's people in Anchorage who would just as soon never see a bear in town, or never see a moose in town, for that matter. Those are the ones we usually hear from," he said. "You always have this thing in the back of your mind: "Well, why did you move to Alaska'?"

Stored in the building at the time were 60 cases of dynamite and 20 boxes of percussion caps. The dynamite exploded and spread the fire, killing five people, injuring 150, and destroying the entire block, with the exception of the Dawson coop store. Now, almost 50 years later, the disaster is being recalled in Rendezvous '92 on the 50th anniversary of the building of the Alaska Highway. Local tourist information officials were a little embarrassed and at a loss to explain how the amount of dynamite had grown to 60 tons, as quoted in the 1991 edition of The Place to Live' magazine, which was later corrected, and in a picture caption in a souvenir events calendar, now in circulation. The mystery of the exploding dynamite continues, as a recent historical sign in a Dawson Creek park, placed there by the province of B.C., states that the amount of dynamite was 60,000 cases. It's hard to imagine how much damage would have been done if 60 tons or 60,000 cases would have exploded in downtown Dawson Creek in 1943- It's more than likely that Dawson Creek and a large chunk of the surrounding countryside would have been blown from the map.

Region helps out symphony, opera Langley Memorial Hospital opened its 10 bed Medical Short Stay Unit on July 6. The unit is for patients who are expected to require hospital care for six to seventy-two hours. The purpose of grouping these patients together is to provide optimal utilization of beds and services. Tests ordered for patients in this unit receive a priority from other departments like Laboratory and Radiology. There is also an emphasis here on the multi-disciplinary approach which means clinical staff such as dieticians, social workers, home care or physiotherapists respond quickly to requests for therapy or consultation. If a patient in this unit has not been discharged after 72 hours, he or she will be admitted to a nursing unit. Prior to the opening of this unit, short term patients were admitted to medical units which sometimes meant longer stays in the hospital because of delays in getting tests done or receiving consultations. The hospital is tracking length of stay in the new unit compared to previous records of length of stay in medical units to measure the effectiveness of the Medical Short Stay Unit. The co-ed Medical Short Stay Unit is an open Unit similar to Emergency (and located next door to Emergency). It affords a better opportunity for nursing staff to closely monitor patients. Many Medical Short Stay cases, such as people suffering from concussions, kidney stones, asthma or abdominal pain are seen here. Sometimes patients are admitted to undergo tests that won't require a stay longer than two or three days. Other patients may require intense antibiotic treatments (every four hours) that can't be received as an outpatient. Patients are normally discharged in the morning by 11 a.m. Medical Short Stay patients can be discharged any time after tests are completed and their condition is stable. The unit is staffed by two registered nurses on each 12 hour shift and a ward clerk on the day shift. It is overseen by Penny Wellar, Co-ordinator, Emergency Services.

Egg Marketing Board with ah appointed chair, Agriculture Minister Bill Badee and B.C. ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I was just up in the mountains with my father and have been wondering about something. While we gazed out over the breathtaking vista of sky, lake and snow covered peaks, the old man began to remove his clothes and move about in an odd and erratic manner, making weird litde moaning sounds at the same time. Soon he was stark naked and howling and gyrating at a faster and faster pace until I thought he was insane. Certainly many of the other hikers must have been a bit surprised as they slowly backed away. Several children began crying and one older lady shrieked and ran off into the woods. I asked 'him what he was doing and all he said was, "I'm trying to turn on Mother Nature. It's been a long time since I've been this close to the old gal. I know she's out there somewhere." As it grew dark, father slowed his chaotic singing and spasmodic dancing and put his clothes, back on. "We went back to the car and headed for home. He was sullen and moody for the next few days, occasionally, complaining that Mother Nature used to be a lot more fun in the good old days. What I want to know is this: should I tell him that Mother Nature is just an. expression and that he's loony as a barrel of pressed oysters or let him continue his fantasies and risk the wrath of the Forest Ministry? Signed; Father Nature's son. Dear Nature's son, Next time you and your father go out for a hike try to talk him into keeping his clothes on. I hurt my throat when I shrieked and it took me hours to find my way out of those 'woods. Next time I go for a hike it won't be to that place. ***** Dear Annabelle, I wonder why all horses are vegetarians?

The move follows a lengthy history of supervisory difficulties with the B.C. Egg Marketing Board. "The B.C. government strongly supports supply management of agricultural products in British Columbia," said Barlee. "The B.C. Marketing Board oversees this system in order to ensure that consumers receive a consistent supply of high quality food at reasonable prices, and that farmers receive fair prices for their products. To be effective, the system must be clearly seen to protect the interests of both producers and consumers." "All members of the B.C. Marketing Board deeply regret the necessity for asking the minister to take this action," said Iverson. "However, our attempts to acquire information necessary to effectively supervise the egg board's activities have met with inadequate responses. After several years of attempts at consultations we have lost confidence in the ability of the B.C. Egg Marketing Board to operate fairly and openly, in a manner conducive to effective supply management "There has been an unwillingness to represent long- term interests of both producers and consumers, including the implementation of new entrant programs and adaptations to niche markets." Iverson said this situation is unique to the B.C. Egg Marketing Board, and in no way does it reflect on the activities of the other 12 boards. A chair has been appointed by cabinet to take charge of egg marketing activities in order to ensure smooth and uninterrupted supplies of eggs to the marketplace and payments to producers. Lawyer and chartered accountant Gerald Zaph has extensive corporation management experience, and will provide supervision during a period of consultations with egg industry stakeholders to determine the best method for future operation of the B.C. Egg. Marketing Board. Further appointments to the BCEMB are anticipated in the near future. The appointment of Zaph replaces long-time B.C. Egg Marketing Board chair Al Giesbrecht, vice-chair and Canadian Egg Marketing Agency representative Fred Krahn and elected board members Ben Woike, Walter Siemens and Jack Pope. The B.C. Marketing Board is the general supervisor of all marketing boards or- commissions constituted under the Natural Products Marketing CBC) Act. It supervises the general operations of 13 commodity boards and commissions in British Columbia. It hears appeals by persons aggrieved or dissatisfied by an order/decision or determination of a marketing board or commission. The board is also a signatory to the Federal- Provincial Agreements for the marketing of eggs, broiler hatching eggs and turkey. the eye of beholder? By PETRONELLA WYATT LONDON - It is better to be beautiful than to be good," said Oscar Wilde. This is even less helpful than it sounds. Each generation has had a bewildering series of esthetic fashions, whether Rubens' battleship curves, Jean Harlow's white- blonde hair or the teasing pout of Marilyn Monroe. In many cases beauty is the physical projection of a society's social ideals. The Victorians, with their sharp differentiation between the roles of the sexes, preferred curvaceous, flaccid- looking women such as Lillie Langtry. The permissive 1960s produced skinny models who possessed the characteristics of both sexes. So is beauty as variable a commodity as clothes, politics and popular music, or is there timeless definition of loveliness which rises above passing fads? Yes. The Ancients called it "to kalon." In the 19th century, King Ludwig I of Bavaria assembled a 'Gallery of Beauties', 37 portraits of women representing this ideal. They have one thing in common: faces corresponding to the Golden Mean of 5:8, a measure of perfect symmetry employed by Greek and Roman architects. In pursuit of the; to kalon' Sir Francis Gabon, the 19th century scientist, conducted a survey of British beauty. Milkmaids were solemnly measured and marked out of five for the classical proportions of their features. (He concluded the ugliest women were to be found in Scotland, particularly in Aberdeen, and the most beautiful in Kensington in London). Like Ludwig and Galton, Hollywood producers in the 1930s and 1940s, applied the Golden Mean when hiring actresses; it was said that Greta Garbo's face was so symmetrical that she had to be photographed in three-quarter profile. If there is a definition of esthetic loveliness, how do our present beauties, the Kim Basingers, the Christy Turlingtons and the Julia Robertses, measure up beside the sirens of the past; Vivien Leigh, Hedy Lamar, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, the young Deborah Mitford (now Duchess of Devonshire), or the famous English rose of the 1930s, Elizabeth Von Hofmannstahl nee Paget? Hugo Vickers, the English biographer of Vivien Leigh and Greta Garbo, believes we are getting uglier. The 'beauties' of today, he says, are ill-placed beside those of the past. Even the Princess of Wales, with her irregular features, is "not really .beautiful." He compares the delicate debutantes of the 1930s to today's strapping young things: "Today's debs are the products of fat businessmen and strumpets. They are much bigger and heavier.. As for actresses like Kim Bassinger, most of them look like little plastic people." Versac Vanni, model agent for the Laraine Ashton agency, believes that during the past 50 years our physical characteristics have actually altered, partly as the result of social changes.. "People are more ethnic looking, often because there is more mixed breeding. Social attitudes change the way people actually look. Models don't have such aristocratic < bone structure anymore and film stars are more vulgar-looking." He singles out Julia Roberts, the star of 'Pretty Woman", as one of the few Hollywood actresses with proper bone structure. The countess of Wilton, a reigning beauty in the 1950s, agrees. "An actress like Julia Roberts is very pretty but none of these women are as good looking as the old Hollywood stars such as Hedy Lamar, Gene Tierney or Elizabeth Taylor." Skeptics would argue that if the 1930s and 1940s appeared a more beautiful age it was largely due to artifice. Photographic stills of Hollywood stars were airbrushed to minimize facial imperfections. Make-up was applied by the bucket to emphasize cheekbones and lips. COME fofr WITH US!

Clean ticket close VANCOUVER - Only a few weeks are left to buy tickets on 50 air-friendly prizes in the British Columbia Lung Association's Clean Air Classic© Lottery. The grand prize is a 1955 Ford Thunderbird that runs on cleaner-burning natural gas, and 49 non-polluting mountain bikes will also be given away. The lottery, which runs until the August 31 draw date, raises money for medical research in Action on shopping HALIFAX - Federal and provincial agriculture ministers have endorsed a British Columbia-led initiative to cooperate in a national effort to reduce cross border shopping, Agriculture Minister Bill Barlee announced. The ministers were attending three days of meetings to discuss international, national and provincial issues affecting agriculture, including trade, GATT, safety net programs and transportation. "According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, national retail sales losses last year across all sectors were $10.4-billion. That translated into 117,000 part time and 131,000 full time jobs lost in the retail sector, and $700-million in hat GST," said Barlee. "Losses to the Canadian food industry are estimated to be upwards of $1.2- billion annually, concentrated in Ontario. Quebec, New Brunswick, Manitoba and B.C." The ministers' proposals address themes most often cited by Canadians who decide to shop south of the Canada-U.S. border: price, service, variety and other considerations. Ministers have recommended that: • further amendments to the tax system be investigated to address the cross border shopping issue; and • current labelling, packaging and grading standards be reviewed to ensure that they do not place Canadian manufacturers and retailers at a competitive disadvantage with respect to imported products. The federal Minister of Agriculture will recommend to his cabinet colleagues: • the development of a national communications strategy, specifically promoting Canadian food products, to complement the generic "Canada. Buy into it" campaign and the work of the National Task Force on Cross Border Shopping; • development of a federal training program/workshops for food retailers to enhance customer relations, service and community-based promotion; and • sufficient customs officials be in place at international border crossings to manage the enforcement of existing duties, taxes and regulations with respect to food and beverage products. "This national cooperation should strengthen and enhance policies undertaken by individual provinces to redress the effects of cross border shopping, and make citizens aware of the true, long-term costs of their actions," said the minister. B.C. Tickets are $10 each or three for $25 and can be ordered by phoning BCLA at 731-4961 or toll- free outside the Lower Mainland to 1-800-665-LUNG. The classic T-bird runs on natural gas to drive home the fact that alternative fuels can cut vehicle emissions that cause 60 percent of the province's air pollution. The 49 Norco mountain bike prizes are an even more natural way to help clear the air. Marking fts 85th anniversary this year, BCLA is a voluntary health agency with 130,000 regular supporters across the province. The association funds medical research and conducts public and professional education programs. It relies on contributions from individual British Columbians for virtually all of its support. New mall phase open LANGLEY - Willowbrook Shopping Centre's Phase IV expansion officially opened Wednesday, August 5. With the adddition of Phase IV the centre is over 600,000 square feet. "Our inviting new environment with the barrel vault atrium adds natural light and a warm friendly place for people to meet or just people watch," said manager John Gordon. "We've added an international flavour to our new food court and some exciting new retailers to our already diverse mix, which includes The Bay, K-Mart, Toys R Us and Woodwynn.

If you dont want to be criticized, don't say anything, dont do anything and don't be anything. Housing starts jump by 36 pet. BURNABY - New construction in the metro area during the first six months of this year was valued at $1.7-billion, up 16 percent over the same period last year. Housing for new residents continued to dominate building investment, comprising $1.1- billion of the total, with significant increases recorded in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Delta, North Vancouver City and White Rock. The figures were compiled by the Greater Vancouver Regional District There were 8,359 housing starts during the first half of the year, compared to 6,123 in the first half of 1991, an increase of 37 percent Some comparisons, with the '92 figures in brackets: Burnaby 841 (211), Coquitlam 867 (404), Port Moody 153 (74), Delta 245 (129), Vancouver/UEL 1,970 (1,627), Surrey, 1,555 (1,696), Langley City 98 (18), Langley Township 442 (373), Richmond 790 (264), Maple Ridge 329 (200), Pitt Meadows 175 C7D- The value of all building permits in the first six months of '92 was up in every category except industrial. Permits for institutional uses (public buildings including hospitals, schools, municipal facilities) rose from $1051-million in '92 to $213.7-million this year. Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Burnaby and North Vancouver district recorded sharp increases in the value of institutional building permits. "Don't be afraid to fail. It's the way you learn to do things right. "Remember that your spouse is your partner and your friend. Raise your sons to be fair to your own and other people's daughters and to share parenting and household responsibilities. Teach them to clean up their own mess, pick up their own towels and clothes, take thek dishes off the table and put things back where they belong for the next person. "Be honest. Struggle to live by what you say. Be moral examples for your children. If you lie, they will lie, too. If you snicker at racial jokes, so will they. "Teach them good manners. 'Please' and thank you1 are very important words. Being considerate will take them further in life than any college degree. "Let's be clear on the fact that tobacco and alcohol are killing more people than cocaine. It's time for consumers to speak out and put a stop to the marketing of sickness and death to our children. "Be confident that you can make a difference. Don't get overwhelmed. Sometimes when I become frantic about all I have to do, I stop and remind myself to take each day as it comes and to break the formidable challenges into manageable pieces. "Never think life is not worth living, no matter how hard it gets. Haniet Beecher Stowe wrote, 'When you get into a tight p!ace and everything goes against you and you think you cant hang oh a minute longer, dont give up, for that is the time and place the tide will turn.' "Choose your friends carefully and stay out of the fast lane. You were born God's original. Try not to become someone else's copy "Remember that you are in charge of your own attitude. The only person you can control is yourself. "You have a role to play every minute of the day. Have you ever noticed how one example, good or bad, can prompt others to follow? How one illegally parked car can give permission for others to do likewise? How one racial joke can fuel another? How one sour person can ruin a meeting? Well, the opposite is also true. An anonymous sage correctly said, The world needs more people who do not borrow from integrity to pay for expediency, whose handshake is an ironclad contract, who are as honest in small matters as in large ones, who know how to win with grace and lose with dignity." -Marian Wright Edelman of Tim Attwood's photos are available by calling JILL-OF-A1X-TRADES Will do any honest work.

Tyson continues to- tour with his band, the Chinook Arch Riders alternating appearances at fairs, concert halls and dances in Canada and the United States with intense periods of work on the ranch. BELLINGHAM - "It's time to shed the hackneyed image of "Frankenstein" which Hollywood perpetrated in the 1931 film version," says Kico Gonzalez- Risso, dkector of Western Washington University's Summer Stock production, which opens Monday, Aug. 10 in the Old Main Theatre. The movie starred then- unknown Boris Karioff as the Creature and forever set the monster's image in the public's minds. (Frankenstein, incidentally, is not the monster's name but that of the scientist who created the creature.) Inspired by the challenge of inventing a ghost story, the 19- year-old Mary Shelley —. along with husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and the writer/physician Polideri — got the idea for "Frankenstein" or "The Modern Prometheus" one summer in Switzerland. Over the next couple of years, the story was expanded, and, when her novel was published in 1818 under a pseudonym, it created both a scandal and a best seller for the young author. Indeed, "Frankenstein," along with Bram Stoker's "Dracula," has become the most popular horror story of all time. "Actually, it's quite a tragic CORNER OF KINO t McCAUUM DOS.

"While the story contains all the classical elements of horror, there is also a serious moral dilemma at the heart of the drama. The audience will be challenged to decide who and what is right and wrong." This stage version by Tim Kelly is adapted from Shelley's original novel and begins with the hideous Creature following Victor Frankenstein to his Swiss chateau. While those close to the young scientists find him feverish, depressed and on the brink of madness, they cannot imagine the horrible secret he keeps — a secret that will lead to terror, despak and murder. The chilling climax is guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. "Frankenstein" runs through Saturday, Aug. 15.

Infancy can be harder on parents than kids RICHMOND - Infancy can be tough, especially for parents. "Every parent caring for an infant younger than four or five is a potential sufferer, just from carrying their child," says Dr. Heather McLeod, a chiropractor. The lower back, sacroiliac joints, neck and shoulders are all potential problem areas for a parent because of the exertions necessary in looking after the baby, she said. "This affects not only the parents but often grandparents* as well," she said. Dr. McLeod, who is the mother of three, said many parents are not physically prepared for the demands of parenting. 3^^ "They don't expect it to be such hard work," she said. She identifies four main areas for potential back problems: • High chaks - lifting the child in and out of high chaks, particularly while juggling the fold down table lid. • Play pens - attending to the child while bent over or kneeling down can put abnormal strain on the back. • Hip carrying - carrying the child (or a bag of groceries) on one hip puts the whole body off balance and makes unusual demands on muscles and weight-bearing spinal joints. • Car seats - attending a child in a rear seat means the parent has to simultaneously bend and twist, then lift. This, particularly in two-door cars, can be highly dangerous for the back. Dr. McLeod says that all parents should protect themselves by carefully assessing the equipment and furniture they have for the infant. They should also physically prepare themselves -by doing back streng thening exercises. The first six months with the baby can be the worst for the mother particularly, she said, especially if she has not rested properly after the birth. Dr. McLeod said that she has frequendy treated women for back conditions after a long labour or for problems that may have been neglected before the baby's birth. "It is very important for women to have a spinal checkup during pregnancy if they have not done so before. Fathers should also be aware of spinal actions to avoid," she said. For instance, carrying children on the shoulders, which fathers often do, can cause neck problems. Give some thought to the fact ■ that there are 24 vertebra between your head and hip. Look after your spine and enjoy parenthood.

AUGUST 6. 1992 13 SENIORS' NEWS Linda Batchelor and Brian Connauton ponder the "Distinctly Canadian Referendum Puzzle." A distinctively Canadian puzzle WHITE ROCK - Sick and tired of Canada's constitutional wrangles? If you're like most folks, you turn off the TV or turn the page. Not Brian Connauton and Linda Batchelor. Thek response was to invent a unique picture puzzle they call The Distinctly Canadian Referendum Puzzle. And they call thek company Distinctly Western Ventures. If all this reminds Canadians of "distinct society," it should. In fact, the puzzle is based on the debate over Quebec's possible status as a distinct society. . Connauton and Batchelor, who both live in White rock, created the concept of the two- sided puzzle. One side features a map of Canada covered with regional icons: west-coast whales and fishing boats, east- coast icebergs and schooners. In between, there are factories, oil wells, grain elevators, a gigantic mosquito, and many more. The map is a colourful and humourous take-off on Canada's geography — nothing unique here. But turn the puzzle map over and it's a different story. Here the map is practically identical, except in one critical respect — the province of Quebec is separated from the rest of the country, towed out to sea by a boat bearing the name 'H.M.S. Distinct'. "The map promotes unity — there's the strong visual impact of seeing Quebec gone," Batchelor stresses. The puzzle seems to encapsulate the flip sides of the constitutional dilemma: on the one hand, a united Canada; on the other hand, a torn-apart, gready diminished Canada, with Quebec headed off on its own. Connauton and Batchelor say they have no particular axe to grind and that they are apolitical. "We wanted to take a lighter look at current politics," Connauton says, "though we do feel there is way too much energy devoted to constitutional issues." At the same time, both say they are very concerned about Canada's future and about what they see as the high cost of a national divorce. "We don't want to end up living in the U.S.," he comments. The puzzle was germinated at a party last February. "We ■were .sitting around talking about Canada's constitutional preoccupation and the place of Quebec," recalls Connauton with a smile. "That's when I had the idea of Canada as a jigsaw puzzle with pieces that dont all fit together, such as those for Quebec". "My response was: great idea! Let's go for it!," adds Batchelor. "I thought k was a fine way to express our frustration." Making money is not on the mind of this brother and sister team, neither of which has been involved in the puzzle or game business. (Batchelor is a realtor and homemaker with two teen- aged daughters; Connauton is a computer programmer and consultant with a four-year-old son.) "On the contrary, we'll be into this project for quite a bk of money. We'll have to sell at least 5,000 puzzles to break even," Batchelor says. She acknowledges that will be a challenge, especially as some might find the puzzle controversial, "but we're optimistic enough that we applied for a GST number." Achieving those sales hinges on getting stores to retail it — and on public interest, if and when Quebec and national referenda are held. Illustrated by Langley artists Wolf Wenzel and manufactured by Custom Games and Packaging's Murray Collinson, the puzzle comprises 520 pieces — definitely not a project for preschoolers. The <£$fe two illustrations will also be available in poster form. Each puzzle includes an "unofficial referendum ballot" on Quebec remaining part of Canada. How does a puzzle purchaser cast his vote? The post-card-style ballot is addressed to "Rt. Hon, Brian Mulroney (or occupant)" at the Prime Minister's Office in Ottawa.

Hollywood must cope with loads of crusaders HOLLYWOOD - From gays to lesbians to American Indians to Asians to the disabled to animal rights activists to envkonmentalists, Hollywood at the beginning of 1992 seems besieged by interest groups clamoring to put in thek two cents, to register their disapproval, to redress historical wrongs and to help shape (or reshape) public images through the entertainment industry. Sometimes the advocates ask for - and are granted - the right to examine a screenplay; at other times they. rely on sympathetic studio insiders to circulate copies. Protests to new movies by aggrieved minority groups are almost as old as the movie industry itself - dating back at least to 'Birth of a Nation', which sparked angry protests by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People when k was released in 1915- And almost since the beginning of talkies in the early 1930s, Hollywood has been prey to outside influence from conservative forces. The guardians of public morality began bearing down on the movie industry in the 1920s, leading to the creation of the Motion Picture Production Code. Strengthened in 1934 under pressure from the Catholic Church and other groups, it survived in one form or another until the 1960s. In more recent years, the attempt by outside groups to influence has traveled across the political spectrum, and in the 1990s there is evidence that these groups are gaining ground. Grant to update bus ALDERGROVE - The Seniors' Lottery Association of B.C. prides itself on keeping seniors mobile, active and independent. So when the Aldergrove Senior Housing Society (Jackman Manor) appealed for help in updating its j outworn bus, the association's directors happily approved a grant of $107764 to go towards a new wheelchair accommodating vehicle to be used in transporting 181 seniors to medical, educational or recreational facilities. Ray Scott, of Aldergrove, was one of the association's 17 directors who approved the application. But this isn't the first time that Seniors' Lottery has come to the community's aid. With nine grants totalling $47,594, the association has involved itself in maintaining the health and happiness of this community's seniors since 1981. Write to the Seniors' Lottery Association of B.C., <810 - 1155 W. Georgia St., Vancouver, V6E 4K1, or phone 685-4533, to inquire about making application for funding for your seniors' projects. Jobs cited as main benefit OTTAWA - A new federal government campaign, "Canada. Buy into k", was launched this month. Michael Wilson, Minister of Industry, Science and Technology and Minister for International Trade, said that . "This campaign is intended to remind all of us that every time we go shopping, we've got choices to make and decisions to reach. Certainly one should compare price and qualky, then we should also take a minute to think about Canada." "There are major benefits to raising the awareness and confidence people across Canada have regarding the advantages of buying Canadian products and services, or shopping in a Canadian store. It makes good sense to emphasize the importance of considering the Canadian shopping choke, because there's a payback in terms of jobs, and a stronger economy when more consumer spending stays at home", the minister added. The minister also said that people in every part of Canada have always enjoyed a healthy measure of pride in the products and services that are produced and sold here in Canada. "This is a very positive campaign. It's all about asking Canadians to take a fresh look at the quality and range of what we produce and sell in in our own country." He said that the government's series of 186 Canada-wide "Community Talks", as part of the Prosperity Initiative, indicated strongly that Canadians believe that a campaign of this nature is necessary, and that it's needed now to help economic recovery. "People want to believe in the positive attributes of "Made-in- Canada" products and services, yet choosing Canadian is not yet always "top-of-mind" when Canadians shop", Wilson said. Phase one of the "Canada. Buy into k" campaign, which has a $4- million budget, runs during May and June, while a follow-up phase is planned for this coming fall. What'll it be? Consider early RRSP convert or pay more tax By MARYANN GEBAUER, Scotia McLeod, White Rock. Are you presendy aged 69 or 70? Then you should consider converting your Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to a Retirement Income Fund (RR1F) before the end of 1992. A change in the Retirement Savings Plan rules was announced in the most recent federal budget. Existing RR1F rules state that the RRIF must be fully discharged by age 90. But the existing rules are not beneficial to those who can be expected to live beyond age 90. The new rules permit RRIF withdrawals to extend over the remaining lifetime of the RRIF holder (or spouse). However, the drawback is that the new rules also include a new schedule of minimum payment percentages. The requked withdrawals from the RRIF have been increased for those under age 78. • The new minimum withdrawal for the 71 year old is 40 percent higher than the existing minimum. Since all RRIF income is taxable, this will equate to about 40 percent more tax. As well, the additional income may place an individual in a higher tax bracket. For most RRlFs that exist now or are purchased before the end of 1992, the existing rules will continue to apply for ages up to 77. For those who are 78 or older, the new minimum payment percentages will apply. The new rules apply to all RRIFs to which funds are transferred after the end of 1992. To take advantage of the existing rules, you must transfer your RRSP to a RRIF within the year. So if you are nearing retirement and are thinking of converting your RRSP to a RRIF for the income, convert sooner than later and you'll save. «H FIRST & SECOND MORTGAGES 90% FINANCING AVAILABLE a AK ANTRIM INVESTMENTS LTD. / W 20410 Douglas Crescent, Langley, B.C.

AUGUST 6. 1992 15 Mennonites respond to Croatia's needs AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION LOOKING FORWARD TO 80th ANNUAL Fall Fair books now available; enter! CLEARBROOK - Mennonite Central Committee will respond to needs in the former Yugoslavia by making available $50,000 for emergency relief for refugees in Croatia. The money will come from MCCs emergency response fund. At the same time, European Mennonkes are being invited to donate an additional $50,000 to the relief effort. According to Winnipegger Hugo JantZ, who visited Croatia in May for MCC, the greatest need is for food for the thousands of refugees who are fleeing the fighting. As well, he says, there is a tremendous need for medical equipment and supplies. "So many hospitals are short of needed supplies and equipment," says JantZ, who dkected MCC's work in Europe until recendy. "If there isn't an infusion of assistance they won't be able to treat the many severely injured people who are coming to them for treatment." This is the third time this year MCC has responded to needs in the former Yugoslavia', the agency, the relief and development arm of the North American Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches, previously provided $36,000 to buy medical equipment and gave $20,000 to help buy food for Croatia. Around $90,000 was contributed by European Mennonites for the purchase of medical equipment and supplies. At the same time that MCC is responding to needs in the former Yugoslavia, the agency is sending food worth $7.6-miliion to southern and eastern Africa, in response to drought conditions in those regions. Some of the aid is going to Mozambique and Somalia, countries which are also torn by civil war. People who want to donate to MCCs relief efforts in the former Yugoslavia can send contributions to Mennonite Central Committee, B.C., Box 2038, Clearbrook, B.C. V2T 3T8. A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Programs for freedom Throughout Canada and the United States, thousands of people continue living independently and securely in spite of physical limitations. The Langley Memorial Hospital Lifeline program is one of many programs which has been set up in our community enabling medically at risk individuals the freedom to remain in thek homes. - With Lifeline, a subscriber wears a waterproof personal help button, which can be pressed at the first sign of trouble. A communicator is hooked up to the telephone line and sends a signal to the Response Centre that help is needed. Monitoring staff in the Admitting Department of the Hospital can have immediate voice contact with the subscriber and ■ when required, send appropriate assistance, whether it be a friend, family member or emergency service. Initiated in April 1989 by the Hospital Auxiliaries Council, the Lifeline program has been very enthusiastically received by the community. This non-profit program is funded by donations from local service clubs and private individuals, and a small monkoring fee is charged to cover all operating expenses. Of our 165 units, 157 are currendy servicing Langley residents. We continually endeavour to raise funds to purchase additional units to meet the growing demand. A number of very dedicated volunteers have gready contributed to the success of the program by offering thek valuable time to serve residents in the community. Volunteer assessors go into the home to gather necessary information, telephone pioneers complete installations and instruct the subscriber on use of the equipment and test callers phone the subscriber once a month to update information and test equipment In evaluating the Lifeline program k has been noted time and again that subscribers have a renewed feeling of confidence and security and thek families have great peace of mind.

The band would ideally like two groups of musicians to play at each venue - one outside the venue and another inside. Musicians in each city are invited to send their demo tapes in to Blue Rodeo for consideration. The tour, to begin in mid- September, will hit major ckies, including Vancouver. Buskers should send thek tapes to: Blue Rodeo Productions, 77 Mowat Ave., Ste. 2, Toronto, Ontario, M6K 3E3- Attn: Buskers. The deadline for sumbmissions is August 21. Aboriginal employment needs studied SURREY - The Louis Riel Metis Association, sponsored by Canada Employment Commission, is conducting an employment and educational training needs assessment for off-reserve aboriginal peoples in the Surrey, New Westminster and Langley areas. Tom Lalonde, association president, says, "We are sure this assessment will have far-reaching implications for ?§. off-reserve aboriginal people. We believe the findings of this study will show a clear and pressing need for educational and .. training assistance." During the months of August and September, a survey will be conducted of off-reserve status and non-status Indians, Inuit and Metis peoples to hear from those direcdy impacted by current programs, or the lack therof. Project dkector Fraser Hall says, "We want to make sure that the survey speaks direcdy to the employment and training needs of aboriginal peoples. We are looking to the community to support this important project, and the goals for which is strives. We encourage community members to come forward with any questions or concerns they may have." For information, contact Fraser Hall at the Louis Riel Metis Association at 581-2522. 1 the arena are well under way. this year's fair promises to be bigger and better than ever, with lots of new and exciting activities planned for all ages. The Fall Fair programs are now completed, copies are available at The Star office, at various businesses around town and from the association Insurance pay changes VANCOUVER - Moe Sihota, minister responsible for the Insurance Corporation of BC, and Elizabeth Cull, minister of health have announced that ICBC's system for reimbursing the Medical Services Plan is being studied with a view to changing k to a "fee for services" basis from a formula basis. ICBC and the ministry of health are currendy working on a new system which would see the corporation reimburse MSP on a direct fee for service rather than on the formula-based average. This will match the system now used to calculate payments for chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage practioner services. This new system will track costs for specific services on individual claims, but ICBC does . not expect a significant change in the dollar amounts reimbursed to the MSP. members. If you are entering any exhibits please note that entry forms and fees must be received no later than September 9- Details are in the program. Last year's trophy winners are requested to return thek trophies as soon as possible. They can be dropped off at the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce office. If you are unable to drop them off, please call Burt or Wendy Mazerall at 856-6229 and they will arrange for pick up. They must have them back before fak time so that they can be prepared for this year's presentation. The association has appointed Leila Sim as the volunteer coordinator for this year's fak. As we all know, the fair could not run smoothly without the generous support of our volunteers. If you would like to help and have even an hour or two to spare on September 12 and/or 13, please phone Leila at 856-6833.

E- ,.'j" 16 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 6. 1992 Garden on display CHILLIWACK - Want to reduce your garbage volume, improve your garden and help the environment? UCFV horticulture student Sue Bellows wants to show you how. Bellows is running Chilliwack's first compost demonstration garden, located at the UCFV Chilliwack campus, behind the' Agriculture Technology building. The public is invited to tour the garden and find out more about composting. The garden will be open all Wednesdays in August from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and all Saturdays in August and September from 9 a.m. to noon. The garden is a joint project of the District of Chilliwack, the UCFV Agriculture department, and the B.C. government, through its Challenge '92 student employment program. There are seven sample composts on display at the garden, including some that can be purchased ready to use, and some that need to be assembled from a kit. There is also a garden, where compost material is being used to improve the soil. "We want to educate the public about the benefits of composting, . and teach them how to compost in their own yard or even apartment," says Bellows. "By keeping compost material out of the garbage can and putting into the garden, we can reduce the amount of material by one-third." Composting also helps the garden. It adds nutrients to the soil, keeps weeds away, and is great for mulching, according to Bellows. Composting kitchen scraps and garden clippings may seem like a burden at first, but Bellows says it's just a matter of self- discipline. "It's a matter of training. Once it's part of your routine, it's easy," she says. ■ "You'd be surprised how much you can reduce your "waste by composting and also recycling." The idea for the compost demonstration garden came from Brock Smith, an engineer with the district of Chilliwack. The district is interested in encouraging the public to reduce the volume of waste going to landfills. Bellows learned how to construct the garden by visiting other gardens run by the Greater Vancouver Regional District.

Consumption the last several days has been rising steadily. The figure for Thursday, 273-5-million gallons (1.23-billion litres), was the highest since June 26. A report on the water situation was considered by the Greater Vancouver Regional District board of directors on Friday. The board approved additional funds to promote public awareness of watering regulations. Lawn sprinkling is banned in all municipalities within Greater Vancouver. Most municipalities also have restrictions on the use of hoses without shut-off nozzles for any purpose, including car washing. Hosing driveways and sidewalks is prohibited in most areas. However, Aldergrove is supplied by municipal wells and is exempt from most restrictions. Water problems result from a mild winter and spring with litde rain and a low snowpack.

AUGUST 6. 1992 17 Experience a new SFU Response said to be 'somewhat original' BURNABY - Simon Fraser University's Burnaby Mountain campus has never looked better — the award-winning architecture is rapidly growing and changing, along with quiet spaces, like courtyards, a museum and art gallery. Spectacular hiking trails weave across the 1,250 acre site and strategic vantage points offer breathtaking views of famous sea, city and mountain scenery. Now, everyone has the opportunity to see SFU for themselves by taking a free public tour, offered by students six times daily (10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30), seven days a week, until Labor Day. ' "There is literally something for everybody," explains tour coordinator Linda O'Connor. "Thousands of campus visitors include parents, prospective students, tourists, groups of preschoolers, seniors and others. Some people appreciate that tours can be arranged in various languages. Everyone agrees the one-hour tours enhance their visit. And many people enjoy sharing the perspective of a current student." The campus is a major attraction in the Lower Mainland particularly for out-of-town visitors during the ■ Burnaby Centennial. Not since the mid- 60's when the mountain top campus was being built has there been so much construction activity and the changing face of SFU is attracting alumni and others who haven't been on Burnaby Mountain for years. During the week the Simon Fraser Gallery draws crowds. So does the fascinating Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology which also opens on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3. The bookstore, which stocks many crested and other items is open on Saturday afternoons. Parking information is available at the 24-hour information reception area at the university's main entrance. SFU guided tours, a free public service, can also be arranged throughout the year. Tours start at the administration building. Call 291-3210 for more information. Liberals highlight solutions to crunch VICTORIA - There are alternatives to the housing crisis facing British Columbians if only politicians at every government level would take decisive action and implement legislation to allow for more flexible zoning and land requirements. This is the conclusion reached by a Liberal Caucus study, looking at the role of government in providing affordable housing in the province. "The problem of lack of affordable housing is reaching epidemic proportions throughout the province; this is not just a problem found in the urban centres of the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island," says Art Cowie, Official Opposition Critic for Municipal Affairs. "Home ownership has become a privilege for the few, and in a society that has traditionally placed a high emphasis on the 'right' to own a home, this involves a substantial shift in attitudes as well as building styles." "The Liberal caucus has begun dialogue with local government in the province, and this study is a tribute to the efforts which local government is making to the provision of affordable housing in BC," Cowie said. "The greatest burden of providing affordable housing has fallen on local government, yet municipalities can't function without active support from the provincial government," Cowie said. "It's time the BC government stepped in and helped resolve the crisis municipalities have fought single-handedly for so long." Major recommendations include: * Allow review of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve when ALR land is causing an increase in the cost of land available for development and growth. * Repealing the property purchase tax, or at a minimum, exempting first time home buyers. * Permit secondary suites with the assent of the community, and encourage the provincial government to provide assistance to owners who wish to upgrade registered suites. * Allow local government to change bylaws to permit residential housing above commercial businesses. * Allow the reduction in size restrictions on building lots. * Allow the creation of special compact residential zones and permit increased densities in specific areas. * Allow cottage industry in residential areas. Some of the listed policies have already been enacted in certain municipalities. The Liberal Caucus - is recommending that these policies be broadened and adopted by municipalities throughout the province. JILL-OF-ALL-TRADES Will do any honest work.

NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL 856-5645 VANCOUVER - B.C. doctors have released their official response to the recommendations proposed by the Royal Commission on Health Care and Costs. The report contains some worthy recommendations, some of which are indeed original," said B.C. Medical Association president Dr. Steve Hardwicke. "Many others, however, simply echo unsubstantiated claims found in similar reports tabled in a number of other provinces." Many of the recommendations were acceptable, and even welcomed by the BCMA, he said, adding that members of the commission should be congratulated for permitting British Columbians a chance to be heard. However, there were several recommendations the BCMA could not endorse in the report, entitled "Closer to Home". "In several cases It was the underlying principle of the idea, while others would be too impractical to implement," said Dr. Hardwicke. Doctors agree with the idea that certain services could be moved from the acute care setting (hospital) into a community-based delivery model, but only if the quality of care to hospital patients did not suffer as a result. The BCMA has spent a good amount of time and effort on similar recommendations over the years," said Dr. Hardwicke. "As the Royal commission has called for, we asked Victoria to establish a provincial health council in 1973. "While we favor increased local input into community, health care delivery, we strongly reject the notion of region- alization, in which different areas of the province would administer . local health care budgets." Dr. Hardwicke said a number of problems with the commission's regionalization scheme are that: • regionalization will result in unequal levels of care, with higher levels afforded to wealthier areas. • regionalization will make it' impossible to provide a uniform and adequate provincial standard of care. • regionalization would increase bureaucracy, and therefore costs, as well as shifting responsibility for a provincial program to the municipal level. The Royal Commission's assumption that sufficient money can be diverted from acute care to community, long-term and at- home-care "is a seriously flawed idea," Dr. Hardwicke said. "We've studied this idea over and over again and have concluded that, without a proper funding formula that does not further erode society's ability to obtain acute care services, our current beleaguered system will deteriorate beyond usefulness." Dr. Hardwicke said there was a pressing need for more hospital beds in the Lower Mainland and elsewhere, as well as a need for more long-term care beds throughout the province. "It's unfortunate the commission didn't utilize the economic expertise available to it and provide a cost estimate for the notion of expanded community-based health care. "We cannot assume that sufficient funds will be made available to implement some of these recommendations without harming other sectors of the health care system,* said Dr. Hardwicke. "Although the health ministry has already embarked on the community health care initiative, Dr. Hardwicke said, he called upon the government to "ensure British Columbians have a chance to assess this change in direction" before proceeding further with the recommendations. "Any new initiative should be examined closely and monitored over time to ensure the overall quality of health care in B.C. is not compromised, and that the proposed efficiencies are real and not simply perceived," concluded Dr. Hardwicke.

Call Jennifer: O 5 fo-O O 0 O to book your ad space! / _ 18 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 6. 1992 FOCUS ON CREDIT Take control: throw away your credit cards Have you ever wondered why each time you try to climb out of debt you fall further behind? Is it because every time you earn a dollar, taxes take away almost half? Is it because you are too generous lending money to famly members or friends? Or is it simply a matter of you falling victim to credit card debt' Credit cards can be a useful tool if managed correctly. They allow you the convenience of monthly record keeping and a few days interest-free. However, beware the person who does not pay them off on a monthly basis! Loan shark rates apply which eat into your ability to save money. A recent survey of the major credit cards indicated that even in today's environment they are charging interest rates in excess of 20 percent. When you consider that on each dollar you earn you must first pay income tax, paying credit card interest charges is extremely expensive. Let me give you a real life example. Recendy, Peggy (not her real name) disclosed that she had been drifting along using credit cards (on a regular basis) to pay her bills. As she had gotten behind in her payments, interest charges made it harder and harder to keep up. She found that although she was earning $25,000/year, $10,000/year was going to interest payments on credit cards. Obviously, this did not leave Peggy with much money to save for a rainy day, let alone improve her quality of life. By arranging a line of credit with her local bank Peggy was able to pay off her credit cards. Because of recent, much lower .interest rates and a steady job, she was able to negotiate with her banker a much more favourable arrangement. As a result, her new monthly payment is $414 ($386/month more for food, clothing to RRSPs, etc.).

Driftnet moratorium "not soon enough" VICTORIA - The United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for a global moratorium on high seas pelagic driftnet fishing is a step in the right direction, but the deadline for implementation is not soon enough says Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Bill Barlee. The U.N. resolution passed in New York Monday, December 23 calls for a global moratorium effective in January, 1993 and a 50 percent reduction by June 1992. "British Columbians have maintained a consistent leadership position on this issue," said Barlee. - "We want the damage to marine mammals and sea birds to stop immediately. Another year of driftnetting is another year of destruction of the marine ecology on which our fisheries industry depends. The position of the prenier, the cabinet and the people of British Columbia is that the ban on high seas pelagic driftnet fishing should be immediate." British Columbia recendy contributed to the U.N. debate with the release of a document entitled "Urgent Voices: The concerns of the people and government of British Columbia about driftnetting in the North Pacific". The minister personally delivered the document to the offices of the Prime Minister and Canada's - Secretary—of— -State .for— External Affairs, requesting that it be presented and considered during the debate. Monitoring of driftnet activity on the high seas and enforcement of the United Nations resolution will continue to be a problem," the minister said. "We must remain diligent in our observation efforts, and urge diplomatic action as necessary. Of major concern are the 'pirate fleets' which continue to grow outside international controls." Barlee commended the Canadian Armed Forces for their early identification, monitoring and surveillance of the driftnet fishery. Representatives of the Maritime Command recendy met with their counterparts from the United States and Russia to discuss cooperative and coordinated approaches to monitoring the North Pacific driftnet fishery. "Rear Admiral Peter Cairns has taken a leadership role on the Pacific Rim, effectively utilizing Canada's resources to obtain critical information which has contributed to the overall security and viability of British Columbia's commercial fishing industry." Copies of the British Columbia position, Urgent Voices, can be obtained by writing to the Honourable Bill Barlee, Minister of Agriculture, Fishers and Food, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C.

Survived by his loving family, wife Joan of 53 years; 1 son Jim; 2 daughters Jannet and Christina; 5 grandchildren aged 12, 10, 8, 7 and 5; one older sister Helen of London, England. Funeral service to be announced. SURREY - Unlike real estate agents and salesperson who are simply licensed by their provinces to do business, realtors have taken the additional step of joining a local real estate board and the Canadian Real Estate Association. This membership obliges them to conduct business in accordance with high ethical standards, which are _ embodied in the Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice established by the association. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board is responsible for striving to ensure that its members observe and uphold the ethical standards embodied in the Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice. This responsibility extends to responding to ethics complaints from the public, conducting hearings and disciplining members who are found to have violated the code or standards. Discipline orders include fines, suspension or termination from membership and mandatory attendance at educational courses. Losing control has its own price BALTIMORE - There have been days, even weeks, some women -say, when they felt they were out of control. \ When they could cry for no reason, and scream at their kids over nothing; when they could not get out of bed because of depression or heart-racing anxiety or overwhelming fatigue. But they could not explain why - and they could not put a name to their symptoms - until finally, they recognized the cyclic pattern of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, and sought treatment. "I was a raging loony-tune," said Cindy Richardson, 39, whose mood swings sent her into weeping fits for no reason. "I thought I was losing my grip," said Susan Orthaus, a 38- year-old nurse who used to wake up at night with heart pounding and hands sweating. One of those closet ailments that no one talked about in the days when "menstruation" was treated like a four-letter word, PMS is now defined as physical, emotional and behavioral changes that occur, month after month, during the weeks between ovulation and menstruation - caused by hormonal changes - and strike with a severity that interferes with normal life. And, in recent years, the syndrome, incurable except by menopause, has been at the - receiving end of increased efforts to treat it in a variety of ways, .from drugs to nutritional manipulations to behavioral management. But the attention to the syndrome has come at a price. There is something so Roseanne Barr-ish about the nasty-woman- with-PMS jokes. Something mean-spirited in the report that a Male Premenstrual Victims Association, with MPMVA T- shirts, was founded in Oregon. Something that roused troubling echoes of the 'raging hormones' argument against women's equality when a female surgeon from Virginia arrested for driving under the influence and attempting to assault police officers was acquitted in June, after her lawyer argued that the breathalyzer test was inaccurate and that her abusive behavior could have been caused by PMS. Irritability, rage, even violence are, in fact, among the more than 150 symptoms associated with * PMS according to Dr. Samuel Smith, a Maryland obstetrician- gynecologist, who sees five or six new PMS patients each month, usually on referral from other physicians. Fluid retention, breast tenderness, swelling of the feet and fingers, headaches, bizarre appetite, food cravings, extreme fatigue, insomnia, substance ^ abuse, difficulty in concentrating, weepiness, depression, mood swings and anxiety attacks are also on the symptom list. About 90 percent of women in the childbearing years are uncomfortably aware that they are premenstrual, but not so uncomfortable that they think they cannot cope. But in a sizable minority - •'■ possibly 20 percent to 40 percent of women aged 15 to 50 - the symptoms escalate to the severity of a syndrome, and in three percent or four percent, the ferocity of the symptoms is such that the woman poses a danger to herself or others, according to Smith. But what women complain about most are the emotional and behavioral aspects. 24 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 6. 1992 Summertime, and the saving is easy ORANGE JUICE Bel-air.
