We've got plenty ALDERGROVE - While the rest of the lower mainland is somewhat nervous over water. supplyoVetjiie next few months, the people UK^this town are assured of steadyv streams of water from their taps. Aldergrove is supplied by-Jour municipal .wells, and a fifth or scheduled for completion nexT year ensures that the growing town will be well-served. How ever, the municipality cautions that water users must be somewhat conservative during extended hot periods, as there is no such thing as a never-ending supply. Municipal engineers have issued water restrictions, along with a ban on outdoor burning until September 15, to help keep water supplies sufficient for all. The water restrictions are much more strict for those in Langley municipality within Greater Vancouver Water District boundaries, which is basically those residing west of 232 Street. For these residents, municipal engineer Bill Lakevold said lawn and garden sprinkling, and the hosing of driveways and sidewalks is completely outlawed at present, to comply with the GVWD requirements. Garden watering and car washing is only permitted with use of a handheld hose equipped with a spring-loaded shut-off device. On the east side of 232 Street, customers are merely requested to "use discretion" and the use of sprinklers follows the even-odd formula: those with house numbers ending on an even number may sprinkle only on even numbered days, while odd numbered homes sprinkle only on odd numbered days. "It's one of those cases where Aldergrove gets a good break compared to the rest of the township," commented Lakevold, so long as people here are diligent and considerate.

Ishtar relocated to Langley city a few years ago, but demand is such that it turns away as many women as it helps. They helped 500 women and their children last year, and indications from the social services ministry are that Ishtar will be funded for a second home in Aldergrove in the new budget. Friends' leader Al Vickers gets protestors heated up over gas issue, Monday night. -Kurt Langmann photos 'Get out," FrienPsJ tell gov't. LANGLEY - The game remains the same; only some of the players have changed in the battle over development of natural gas in the Fraser Valley. An open, house at Langley Conference Centre, Monday, brought out small crowds in the morning, to see basically the same presentation that the previous government made when it pursued public input on the proposal of the Fraser Valley Gas consortium. Then, at 7 p.m., the anti-drilling lobby, the Friends of the Fraser Valley staged a protest rally at the centre, which attracted a couple of hundred. The Friends had, as before, been allowed display area inside the centre to hand out their leaflets. These accused the current Harcourt NDP government of reneging on what they said was his commitment to stop exploration for natural gas in the valley, and put forward the belief that drilling for existing gas would lead to a drive for underground gas storage here. For its part, the energy ministry outlined the process whereby the drilling consortium would apply for approvals. A. ministry geo- _logist, John McRae told The Star that _little_Jad changed in the procedure, aside from a recent amendment to the act which now only allows_ one natural gas drilling site per section of land (square mile). Subsequent drilling in the same section of land would only be allowed after the first well was capped and sealed, and each would require its own public approval process. McRae also told The Star that Friend Margaret Ormston wears message for Harcourt. storage here is out of the question as legislation has banned any such notion for the Fraser Valley. When pressed on the theoretical possibility of such a development in the future, McRae said there is a lengthy public process required by the act, as well as numerous exploratory drilling locations before it could even* be determined if it were feasible here. Presently there is only one such storage site in the province, although there are two immediately south of the international border. Americans are also conducting several drilling programs in the Whatcom County area for natural gas and coal methane, which appear to be ignored by the general populace there. The most colorful aspect of the day got underway shortly after 7 p.m., when the larger crowds, Liberal leader Gordon Wilson and entourage, and the TV cameraman showed up. The "agitprop" was selectively policed, however, as Friends worker Glen Breaks hauled away some of the funnier handmade placards which played on the NDP acronym, such as "No Damn Principals (sic)". The sea of placards and people was taken outside for some harsh words against the government and energy ministry from Friends chair Al Vickers, lawyer Charles MacLean, Gordon Wilson and Surrey-White Rock Liberal Wilf Hurd. "These are just a handful of my friends," said Vickers in introducing Wilson to the crowd that the conference centre couldn't handle. "What is at issue here is a colossal breach of promise," said Wilson, referring to NDP leader Mike Harcourt, who "said one Gordon Wilson earned cheers. thing at election time and something else once (he) got a majority." Pointing to a placard that said "Never Deliver on Promises", Wilson said there has been a long litany of broken promises in the past eight months. He said the province needs longterm planning but that the NDP have none and are left to "fly by the seat of their pants." "The real reason the NDP have started to re-engender this debate is because they have no strategy. They don't know from one day to the next what kind of proposition they really want for the province of B.C. What we see is a government that is looking for a revenue generator to overcome the $1.8-billion deficit they've put in place in this year's budget." "I can only tell you that there were two other votes on the ballot: one was referendum and one was recall. I suggest to you that if this government continues this way, not only on this issue, but health care, education, the farmers, transportation, recall is something the people of B.C. may be forced to use much sooner than Mike Harcourt ever believed when he stood up and said ... (at this point the crowd's cheers drowned Wilson out)." MacLean called the ministry's open house the "first legal whore house in B.C.... what we've got in there is a bunch of pimps for the energy industry. The great betrayal of the NDP is that they didn't fire the entire lot." "This is just the beginning for Port Coquidam, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge," said Vickers. "I can assure you they are here for storage. They have a mandate for storage. It is a greed industry and it is ruthless." "Get out!" roared the crowd.

JULY 2. 1992 Doctors close shops ALDERGROVE - Doctors' offices and the walk-in medical clinic here were closed Monday in protest of the government's proposed legislation limiting the rights and incomes of B.C. physicians. Doctors warn that the "health services rationing day" won't be the last, either, if Bill 71 passes into law. The new bill, the Medical and Health Care Services Act, has been roundly criticized as excessive force against the medical profession. It will revoke doctors' bargaining rights and provides an arbitration process that gives the government binding authority to enforce setdement. It also authorizes government inspectors to enter doctors' offices without notice to look over confidential patients' records for any reason they wish to provide. It also replaces individual physicians' income caps with an overall cap on medical services plan budget, which means that doctors must pay for any services which go over budget. For this reason local doctors have begun rationing their services by closing offices. Only emergency services were available at the hospitals, Monday. New act worse says MLA VICTORIA - The official opposition is charging the NDP government with railroading with introduction of the Medical and Health Care Services Act. "To introduce legislation of this scope and contentiousness this late in the legislative session is irresponsible," says Liberal health critic Linda Reid. "This act will restructure the entire health care system, and the anti-doctor NDP government has not left enough time for public input and consultation" Reid noted that the Freedom of Information Legislation, introduced earlier this session, will be given 18 months of public input before it comes into effect. "Why would Bill 50 get reviewed for over a year while a bill that will Foundation closes down LANGLEY - Family Services continues to grow, but their LFS Foundation will be wound down. LFS has been providing its services since 1971, but the separate LFS Foundation, established in 1984 as a fundraising venture, has become unwieldly. Its board of directors voted June 22 to close down and liquidators have been appointed. The foundation has been running the Langley Bingo Palace with paid staff, and this closes effective June 30. After that date the bingo will be operated by Langley Bingo Association, made up of representatives of the 42 charities at the bingo hall. the entire health only given a is care few change system weeks?" Reid added the government has misled B.C. doctors and the public yet again. "Bill 13, which was abandoned by the government, has now resurfaced in this new act. The global cap is still in place and now the government can allow further pay scales based on a doctor-.s geographic location and level of experience." The Medical and Health Services Act also has the potential to place doctors in a strong conflict of interest position. The nine member Medical Services commission which will have three doctors as members — members who will have the power to set physicians1 incomes. "Another concern I have with (his new legislation Is Section 34 which creates and outlines the powers given to the Inspector to audit and examine patient files," says Reid. "The way the section is worded, it would allow the Inspector to view personal and confidential medical files — the government has no business in the personal health files of its citizens. This is yet another example of the socialist NDP becoming more intrusive in peoples lives." "It is dear that this government and the minister of health have created a major public relations disaster by the way they have dealt with B.C. doctors," concluded Reid. "It's also dear the health minister is trying to backpeddle as fast as she can" Local medical clinic and doctors' offices have taken on the appearance of editorial pages during the fight over new medical services legislation. Minister Elizabeth Cull has accused MD's of "politicking" which is a rather strange accusation coming from a politician... last we heard physicians have the same human rights as everyone else in this province. -Kurt Langmann photo "Rationing" of health care starts after gov't.-BCMA talks break down VICTORIA - Government rationing of health care will start this week as a result of the NDP government's refusal to agree to changes in Bill 71, Dr. Steve Hardwicke, president of the BC Medical Association, announced Sunday at the failure of the weekend talks with the government "The government refused to change its mind about rationing health care for British Columbian's" Dr. Hardwicke announced. "They expect doctors to provide Sou-million of free services, but this is only rationing of care in disguise. "The government rationing will start this Thursday and Friday Chrisholme gets reprieve LANGLEY - The ministry of social services will keep Chrisholme alive and well, says minister Joan Smallwood. A contract with the Salvation Army will see that organization take over operations for the residential school for troubled boys.

"This is the only way the $60- million underfunding can be made up, and the Prince George and Quesnel doctors will be joined by doctors in other communities each month in carrying out the government's rationing program." Dr. Hardwicke stated the BCMA had, in a significant bid to break the negotiating logjam, given up its long-held demand for binding arbitration as a way of resolving future fee disputes. "Ttus was a major concession on our part, but the government, after repeatedly claiming it could not agree to binding arbitration would not even consider non- binding arbitration," said Dr. Hardwicke. "The government had no real desire to reach a settlement with us. "The model they like is to have the new commission negotiate with the BCMA and in the event of an impasse, to have the commission do the arbitrating, which stacks the deck in favor of the government." Dr. Hardwicke said the government agreed to a number of minor changes in the Medical and Health Care Services Act, "but the pessimistic attitude expressed before the weekend by minister of Health Elizabeth Cull was unfortunately very much in evidence at the table." The BCMA president added that his 27-person delegation may have been successful in convincing the government that it should not have government inspectors prying into confidential patient files to verify services billed for by doctors. "This was a repugnant idea, and I hope we see a change in the legislation," said Dr. Hardwicke. Dueck offers "health reforms" VICTORIA - Matsqui M.L.A. Peter Dueck has introduced a series of proposals to reform the health care system. "Bill 71 is an example of a short term solution that lacks vision," Dueck said, adding, "This bill does not provide a long term solution to funding problems. It only postpones the problems to the next round of bargaining." Dueck suggests the individual must take some responsibility for their consumption of health care services. He proposed: 1) Patients be required to enter into their tax-return the cost of medical care they consume and pay taxes on the imputed income up to a maximum of 10 percent of other income. 2) Permit the establishment of Health Maintenance Organi zations with the special provision that savings are distributed among physicians, patients members and the government. 3) The establishment of a national board to determine what diagnostic and treatment procedures are covered by the public health care systems. "The current policies will only lead to further rationing," Dueck said, What could be worse? A system so rationed it is no longer effective in providing a good quality care or the individual being partly responsible for their consumption of health care services." The proposals are offered by Simon Fraser University Professor, Dr. Herbert Grubel in a series of articles prepared for the Medical Post.

The rains that began on Sunday are helping the situation, but the GVRD says their reservoirs need about ten days of rain to be where they should be at this time of year. Their campaign to reduce demand has been successful, however, as consumption dropped another 11 percent on Saturday, for a total drop in consumption of 32 percent since last Monday. Lakevold added that the new fifth well in Aldergrove will be paid for by Gloucester Industrial Estates and will be tied into the existing municipal system. He commented that Glouester was, initially, to build their own system, but it "made more sense to consolidate" with the municipal system. The test well has been very promising, and has also enabled the township to extend Aldergrove water to the Salmon River Uplands area (induding North Otter). So, barring some unforeseen disaster, Aldergrove residents can breath easy and sprinkle to their heart's content. Just don't get selfish or carried away with it is all the township asks of you.

VANCOUVER - A recent report commissioned by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation indicates that Canadians use an average of 350 litres of water per day, placing them second only to the United States in household water consumption. Although Canadians are currently heavy users of water, the report identifies a number of opportunities which can lead to substantial reductions in residential water consumption. Use of a low-flow showeniead that reduces the flow rate by 50 percent, for example, can potentially save 78,000 litres of water per year for a family of four. If the same family installed a high efficiency toilet requiring only six litres or less per flush, the annual savings can amount to 65,000 litres. * COLEMAN SLEEPING BAG $2795 * HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS *7's * y lluLpLO-Lixi: "*E%B9 Hit BmI •a J ■v, _--—-— ■ WASHER & DRYER DELUXE MODEL * PAIR HEAVY DUTY GAS DRYER with AUTO CYCLE EXCLUSIVE TO GOSLING'S BY: Graitqe BACK GUARD QUALITY AT SPECIAL PRICESI TWIN SIZE $298oo Ifctlrt FULL SIZE 53485° TW Wt $398oo THI GREATEST NAMI IN SLEEP Wood's Freezers POLY FOAM MATTRESS '12" 2"x27"x72 2"x39"x72 2"x48"x72 '21* 2"xS4"x72 *27w HITACHI com to im ACT/ON gj &*%£ of\Mctymd g}| 2S56 Mont rot* Ay*. 100% locally Ownod and Oparotod UR PHONE NUMBER 3-4401 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JULY 2. 1992 Liberals working to protect homeowners V VICTORIA - Liberal MLA's will continue to oppose the NDP's Assessment and Property Tax Reform Act, Bill 66, as this legislation will radically alter the method of property assessment appeal in the province. "I am appalled the minister of municipal affairs would try to slide through such sneaky amendments in an otherwise decent bill," states Art Cowie, official opposition critic for municipal affairs. The bill would remove an individual's right to appeal assessments to the Assessment Appeal Board or the Court of Revision, based upon fairness and equity, and only allow appeals based on market value. "Our assessment system is based on two fundamental principles: fairness and equity," says Cowie. "This bill removes the taxpayers'' right to appeal his or her property tax assessment on grounds other than market value, and this represents a policy shift which could severely impact on homeowners." When the Supreme Court of Canada formulated their decision on the assessment system in 1881, it dedded that 'everybody having property or doing business in the country is entitled to assume that taxation shall be fair and equal and that no one class of individual, or one species of property shall be unequally or unduly assessed.' "The minister of municipal affairs with one stroke of the pen is attempting to remove this principle from the assessment system in the province," says Cowie. "I hope the minister will remove this regressive section from the bill so that an otherwise good piece of legislation will not be tainted." HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALDER&XWE AND YOU TO CANADA — 1 ^iiM. &!i$*f LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Put something back into "nature 99 Editor, The Star, Sir, I have just come from a friend's home, who along with a small number of volunteers, fosters raccoon kits. Normally an afternoon spent with these critters is entertaining and one comes away with a feeling of accomplishment at lending a helping hand to Mother Nature. No so today! I just left seven kits, three who are at an age where they knew their mother and are terrified, refusing to eat or interact with humans. I feel sickened by the knowledge that this year 20 kits are in care that were not orphaned but the results of interfering humans, who in one instance "stoned" the mother to steal her babes, Kidney support has been great Editor, The Star.Sir, On behalf of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, B.C. Branch, thank you to all the volunteers who gave so generously of their time during our 1992 March Residential Campaign. The efforts of the volunteers, combined with the generosity of the community, enabled us to increase our revenue by 17.9% this year. To date, over $720,000 has been raised provincially. The monies raised by the Kidney Foundation support local patient services, provide public education about kidney disease and support other programs such as organ donor awareness. In addition, the foundation funds 75% of the current research into kidney disease and related disorders. On behalf of those with kidney disease, thank you for your participation in, and support of, our March Drive. MARCIA BELL President Vancouver another dedded to relocate the family and instead dumped the mother, felt guilty and dropped the 12 week old trio off at the local SPCA (whose policy does not cover wildlife and are encouraged to destroy "pest animals", fortunately there are some members who at least attempt to find homes) or as a local roofer who found a family of four chased off the mum and gave the kits out to friends as pets. Three of these have been recovered (half starved) and are in care but to the recipient of the fourth please note that it is against the law to harbour wildlife without a permit and you are liable to a $1,000. fine when caught Why can't we just leave them alone? We have destroyed most of their natural habitat. Is it too much to ask to provide undisturbed shelter to raise their young in peace? They will move on once the kits are weaned. This spring I sent a letter out to all newspapers in the lower mainland with suggestions on how to raccoon proof you home prior to denning season along with a few other hints on living with wildlife in your backyard. Two papers saw fit to print my letter and we are now trying to solve a problem that should never have happened. Relocation means hours of searching out property that is habitable, not over-populated with other raccoons and hopefully not too many predators. My friend and I are constantly on the look-out for land and a caring landlord to assist us in relocating back to the wild these "precious pests". ' We want acreage where humans want to inter-act with wildlife. They must be prepared to winter them or in some cases slow release them their property in the spring. Slow rdease consists of placing and stocking feeding stations until the animal becomes self sufficient. In Ontario they have 6,000 acres in their raccoon release program — surely Super Natural B.C. can beat that! If you are interested or would like more information call Gail, 530-2839 or Dee, 536-O605. Not a day goes by that we dont take from nature, how about putting a little back? DEE WALMSLEY White Rock Researching B.C.'s black women Editor, The Star, Sir, I would like to enlist reader support in gathering information about African-Canadian women who lived in B.C. from 1858-1960. This research is part of my PhD thesis on the work of black women both inside the home and in the community. Previous studies of British Columbia's African-Canadian community have concentrated on thd 19th century, mentioning only a few prominent women. My research is important because it tries to correct this imbalance. To the best of my knowledge, it is the first study done in B.C. which examines the history of the-black community from the perspective of women Utilizing such resources as: the manuscript census, police, diurch, cemetery and school records, will and probate files, newspapers, photographs, city directories, oral histories, assessment rolls and secondary sources, I have begun to identify individual black women, men and children and construct genealogies. I am willing to share information gained thus far with anyone tracing thek family tree. I may be contacted in care of: The History Dept., Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C. V5A 1S6. SHERRY EDMUNDS^FLETT-- Rights not honored Editor, The Star, Sir, Abbotsford is often referred to as the "Bible Bdt". Not always! I live in a condo in Abbotsford. Our dubhouse is a very nice facility, nicely furnished, piano, pool table, etc. and seldom used. Supposedly it is an extension of our living room. This was my understanding when I purchased my unit. At that time, I could reserve it for a personal celebration and I did. To my knowledge, the bylaw hasn't been changed. Recently I asked for permission to reserve the dubhouse for an evening and I invited my choral group for lunch, coffee and a sing-song. It was our last engagement for the season and as it was at Cottage Hospital looked forward to celebrating our last get together for the summer. We travel a lot of miles, visiting care homes and hospitals, we are self supporting. We have been a group for 12 years and I was refused the reservation of the hall. I hope you can believe this — CHURCH GROUP. I have a copy of the refusal in writing. We are not a church group - we practise at Aldergrove O.A.P.O. Hall and we had our coffee in my unit. We are independent. Incidentally, for the council-sponsored affairs, which are few, the announcement reads. "B.Y.O.B." Discrimination'' The hall was not used for five consecutive nights and the Monday I asked for it was one of them. One of our RCMP officers was luckier than me — freedom of religion. I fed being refused on the grounds of church group was an alibi. Constitution stresses freedoms — religion, press and speech. By-law regarding reservations of hall reads "Personal Celebrations." I had been fairly allowed use of the hall with a previous council, March 1989 and previous to that. Present council interprets "Personal Celebrations" as a birthday, memorial - "*Tea",^*j9rmiversaty.'' Therefore, a single owner can reserve it once a year. At my age I don't want more than one birthday a year. Does a council have the right to interpret the meaning of the by-law? The bottom line is the Condominium Act. It should be revised and bring it up to date. When it was written, little was understood about strata titles. It is too evasive and generalized and gives a council too much authority. Most seniors living in condos have sizeable investments and very little control and freedom. We should receive monthly financial statements, petty cash statements, minutes of Council Meetings be read and all Council rules should apply to ALL owners. Many would benefit from an improved Condominium Act as suggested in a recent article in the paper. I quote, "contact your M.L.A. and be treated like first-class citizens again." EDIE ROBERTS Abbotsford Our pleasure Editor, the Star, Sir, I want to send a belated thank you to you for the excellent artide about volunteering which you published May 28 in the Aldergrove Star. Your in-depth interview with Lise Rohead who volunteers at Wagner Hills Farm was well written and presented both Lise and her motivation for volunteering in a favourable light. Charities such as Wagner Hills Farm are relying on volunteers more and more to deliver needed services, and publicity, such as that given by your story, gives support to these important people. Thank you also for attending the annual meeting of Wagner Hills Farm Society and giving the organization the support I see reflected in the published stories. —HEIA4UT-BOEHM TTTT — —- ■-'■ gg ■ ■———■—^—^» THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

One of the original bylaws said the aim of the Institute was to improve conditions of rural life so that settlement may be permanent and prosperous. This bylaw and many others remained in effect until June 22, 1979 when we officially became a co-op. During the 1920s and '30s, we gradually grew and changed to suit the needs of the growing community. It was in the 1930s that we started supplying feed to the local farmers. At first we mixed feed with a shovd on the floor of a shed. It is from those small beginnings that the Feed component of our business has grown. Today, we operate a modern mill having completed a major expansion in the summer of 1979 and have added several features since then, induding a new warehouse and sacking system which opened in the spring of 1990. During the 1950s a need developed to supply local residents with petroleum products. Once again, we responded and established a small bulk plant to service those needs. We now have a modern Bulk Plant which supplies petroleum products to farms and heating fuels to homes in the area. A new sales area and oil storage warehouse opened in February, 1990. We also have a self-serve outlet, at 248th Street and Fraser Highway, which handles all kinds of automotive fuels induding propane, natural gas and farm gas. Diesel fuel and propane are dispensed from a card lock facility. Since our earliest days, we have been in the retail business. Fkst in a haphazard way, then in the 1930s running a general store and finally in the late 1940s building a small retail facility. This was added on to here and there and by the late 1960s we had developed an 8,000 square foot store, selling groceries, hardware and drygoods. By 1975, it had become apparent that the premises were inadequate and we commissioned a feasibility study on the possibility of building a 50,000 square foot Retail Shopping Centre. This facility was opened for business in January 1980 with the grand opening held on February ,28, 1980. The retail centre services its members with food, family fashions, hardware, fencing supplies and lawn and garden supplies. We offer quality products with a hassle-free guarantee. Our organization is a member owned business with an dected neni person Board of Dkectors. Dkectors are elected at the annual meeting for a three year term on a rotating basis. Each director is limited to three consecutive terms on the board. With §j a stable economy and strong member support, we look forward to resuming our policy of providing a patronage dividend for our members.

JULY 2. 1992 Hawks flying high By GEORGE GREATBANKS ALDERGROVE - The senor version of the Aldergrove Hawks are once again participating in the Fraser Valley Summer Soccer League, competing in the West division of this highly competitive "Fun" league. They have led thek division from Day 1, with only one loss to thek name after 8 games. On Tuesday June 23rd they entertained thek dosest rivals, the Lynwood Express who had fallen to the Hawks 3-1 just five weeks ago and who were bent on revenge for that loss. To emphasize thek determination, the Express had demolished thek opposition in the last two games, outscoring them in the process 27-2, so the stage was set for a real showdown. The Hawks limped into the game missing six regulars, suspension had daimed Jason Chong and injury, his brother Dennis. Grad celebrations in Abbotsford claimed 4 other players, so for this game the Hawks added 2 newcomers in Kevin Casey and Rob Alexander. At kick-off, the Hawks were up to 11 players and started the game 2 men short, as the two had just arrived from work and were dressing for the game. True to the expectations of coach Great- banks, the Express carried the play, pinning the Hawks deep in thek own end for much of the fkst 20 minutes. The Hawks withstood the pressure due in large part to the cagey experience of thek elder statesman Russ Bradley, and a good effort by keeper Mark Code, who made a diving fingertip save on a shot that was labelled, they in turn were supported defensively by. Mike Bruce, Lome Redekop and Mike Goyer. After withstanding this opening pressure, the Hawks gradually got back in the game, coming up with a total team effort to carve out a few chances of thek own, then just as the game was becoming more evenly balanced, Chris Miller foolishly took a yellow card for an elbowing infraction (in summer league, this meant the Hawks would play 1 man short for 10 minutes). Despite this deficiency in manpower, the Hawks stayed in the game, giving as much as they took and the half ended with the teams deadlocked at Zero. Buoyed by thek success at blanking the high scoring Express for the fkst 45 minutes, the Hawks took to the field for the second half looking for the win, but as the game deteriorated into an extremdy chippy affak, they surrendered a penalty shot for a dubious call in the box, which appeared to warrant no more than an indirect kick for obstrudion. No matter, lady luck was with them as the spot kick struck the post and rebounded to safety with keeper Code well beaten. After this let off the Hawks came more into the game, thek own scoring machine Danen Leukefdd (16 goals in the previous 8 games) jinked his way through the Express defense constantly, ringing a 30 yard blast off the far goalpost. Not to be denied. Leukefeld eventually gave the Hawks the lead, coming late on the blindside to stroke the ball into the empty net after newcomer Casey had drawn all the Express defense, induding the keeper, to the near post. The game continued to deteriorate as the Express players lost thek composure, the keeper was dismissed for dissent and at one time two other players were sitting out yellow cards. The Hawks weren't behind the door themselves in this chippiness and Leukefeld got himself a yellow late in the game. However, the Hawks hdd on for a well deserved 1-0 victory to keep themselves atop the standings by at least 2 points, depending on how thek other divisional rivals fared.

Single goals in he thkd period by Tony Sandberg, Larry Amskold, Duncan Winning and Zemaitis left the score at 14-0 when the game was called by the Surrey team with less than 5 minutes of play remaining due to an injury to thek goalie. The team played a good passing game as evidenced by the 16 assists credited to the 14 goals. Ford and Andrew Kelly received 3 assists, Bickerton and Winning earned a pak each while Jesse Lemieux, Andrew Shea, Smith, Zemaitis, Amskold and Wayne Swinden were credited with single assists. Netminder Jared Johnson's saves were only listed as 10 to Surrey's 23 but many felt that this was his best game of the season. Kris Ford stepped in to coach the team to thek shutout with the able assistance of assistant coaches Roy Johnson and Len Lemieux in the absence of Bryan Nicola and Gary McLaughlin. The team look forward to the playoffs next week starting with a best of 3 series against Coquidam in the fkst round of playoffs on thek way to the provincial championships on July 17, 18 and 19 in Richmond.

JULY 2. 1992 Are buildings obsolete? Are buildings obsolete? By FRANK OGDEN The 25-year period from 1865 to 1890 was the age of the raikoad building spree across North America. Everyone got into the act. The kon horse hdped open up America in a manner never before possible, propelling new immigrants westward and economically upward to undreamed of heights. Shortly after Ford and rubber tkes appeared, the railways began to fade. The 15 years from 1975 to 1990 was the age of the building spree around the world. The volume of office, commercial, industrial and even residential floor space reached unheard of levds. The building boom along with the construction of the necessary supporting infrastructure, also propelled most earthlings to new levels of affluence, even in such devdoping countries as India. Could buildings, as we have known them, also vanish in the years to come? All trends suggest the answer is 'yes'. Look at commercial or office space. Sydney, Australia, known for never having vacancy rates above five percent, saw vacancy rates shoot up from two to 11 percent. In Toronto, vacancies are at 11.9 percent with another 10.3 million square feet of office space coming on stream this year. With the Ontario economy reeling from die depression and investors reluctant to move because of legislative actions and suggestions by the new socialist NDP government, office vacancy rates have to increase. Perhaps to 20 percent. This is not impossible. In the United States, real estate excesses have reached new heights. Everyone thought being "King of the Hill" was a great, lucrative, exdting game. This role model was followed almost everywhere to a lesser degree. Look at the pfcture today: Out of the 30 top commercial real estate markets in the U.S., 20 of those areas have vacancy rates higher than 15 percent. One source says the actual cunent vacancy rate in Los Angeles is 25 percent! Houston and other oil patch cities are running around a quarter empty as well. Global Finance magazine quotes Daniel Neidich of Goldman Sachs as "predicting that vacancies won't be low enough to attract new development for another eight or nine years." If that sounds bad, look at London, England,, where vacancy rates now are 15 percent, a record in almost any European city. Rents have dropped 35 percent to $29 per square foot and the forecast for both of the above is looking lower as surviving lessees seek ways to cut costs. The world's biggest landlord, Canada's Olympia & York Corporation is in deep trouble in New York, London and at home in Toronto. If they do go bust, banks and governments will topple. In Tokyo, rents have dropped 20 percent, although vacancy rates still hover between the "street rating" of five percent and the official figure of around one percent. In a country where bank interest rates ran around 3.5 percent when U.S. rates were galloping along at 10 percent, it is auite a shock that much of a difference. A big difference. Now that Japanese interest rates have risen, some are predicting a drop in real estate values of up to 30 percent in 1992. An even bigger shock to global confidence comes from Switzerland where bank real estate loans total 363.7-billion Swiss Francs and total bank equity is only SFr 67.3-billion. In the 19th century we overbuilt railway lines and raikoad rolling stock. Have we overbuilt fixed capital building assets in die fading days of the 20th century? Can wealth, held in fixed assets go through a devaluation similar to what happened to the German Mark after World War I? Lions Grove host picnic By HARRY LAWN ALDERGROVE - Lions Grove Estate had its annual picnic on Sunday June 28. The tenants enjoyed a putting competition and horse shoes were available. These were followed by a sitdown meal prepared by the people themselves. During the meal a trophy was presented for the best garden, this was awarded to Alice Anderson who had a beautiful display of flowers, as did several others. Honourable mentions going to Inga Perkins, Ernie & Ethel Combre, Eileen Sundean, Hilda Harris, Doreen Amyot and C. Sindak. This year, although not judged, a note was made of the very good vegetable gardens of Sam Rutter, John Hogenbom, Jim Muckart and Raymond Mitchell. Many of the residents of Aldergrove are still not aware of Lions Grove Estate or Jackman Manor, but I would urge anyone interested, to take a short tour of both places and witness the pride the tenants have. Some areas have been devdoped almost as miniature parks. Pricey coffee? TORONTO - Three Brink's guards discovered thek armored truck was missing $2.3-million after a stop for coffee at a doughnut shop in Parry Sound. A new crew, which took over the bulletproof truck after the coffee break, discovered that the money was missing when a rear door flew open as they pulled away. Pohce are treating the incident as a theft but are looking for anyone who may have seen bags of money falling off the truck somewhere along the highway between Toronto and Parry sound, a distance of about 100 miles.

Industry alarmed over timber rights VANCOUVER - Four B.C. forest industry trade associations and thek members have sounded an alarm over potential government expropriation of timber harvesting rights. In a brief to the Commission of Inquiry into Compensation for the Taking of Resource Interests, the Council of Forest Industries of B.C., the Northern Interior Lumber Sector, the Cariboo Lumber Manufacturers' Association and the Interior Lumber Manufacturers' Association called on the provincial government to respect Canadian tradition by involving the extraordinary power to expropriate only as a last resort. The brief points out industry's concerns over the security of timber harvesting rights. Those rights are threatened by potentially massive expropriations to settle native land claims, allocate commercial forest land to non-timber uses such as parks and wilderness areas, accommodate other forest uses on commercial forest land and expand the province's log markets. "The B.C. forest industry's position on expropriation of timber harvesting rights is unequivocal," says Gordon Clark, chairman of the industry task force which prepared the brief. In summary, that position is: • natural resource expropriations should be restricted to the minimum that is compatible with public necessity; • when expropriation cannot be avoided, full compensation must be paid to everyone affected; and • the decision to expropriate and pay compensation in the event of expropriation must be made through a fak process and be subject to appeal. teachers. "My heartfdt thanks. You should be very proud of the job you do," she said. Students, thek families and guests joined in a standing ovation. The program continues to grow each year. In 1982, the first Adult Basic Education course was offered in a portable in Aldergrove. Ten years later, the program has expanded to serve 750 students at the Langley Education Centres in Langley and Aldergrove, at Brookswood Secondary and at Walnut Grove Secondary. Tutorial hdp is available during the 12 hour school day, 12 months of the year, so students can complete thek education while working and supporting thek families. Grandmother student of year LANGLEY - As Maria Stiglich accepted the Student of the Year Award at the Adult Basic Education Awards Ceremony, the youngest of her 15 grandchildren, six month old Matthew, wondered what all the fuss was about. Stiglich was one of 26 students who successfully completed the equivalency of a secondary school education in the Adult Basic Education program offered by the Langley School District. "This was my dream, to finish school," said Stiglich. "I dropped out of school in grade eight in the 1950s, and I married and had four children before I was 21." Stiglich's family of five children, thek mushroom farming business and her work at the Senior Resource Centre kept her busy for 40 years. She babysat her grandchildren while a daughter- in-law attended ABE. Then, when Stilgich's youngest child left home, it was time for her own dream. "Because I had dropped out, whenever it came to holding a pencil, I thought I was a dummy," said Stiglich. "By the second week of school, I realized I could comprehend the work and I knew I could do it." Stiglich completed the program in eight months. She will go on to computer studies and then plans to use her skills in the office of thek family business. She will also be the first native tutor in a literacy program for native people at the Matsqui Prison. As trustee Chris Petipas presented the award, she said, "Maria is a warm, cheerful student and an outstanding candidate for the 1991/92 Student of the Year."

Revenue from postal operations grew 1.7 percent to $3.8- billion, but the loss from postal operations was $101-million compared to $75-million income the year before. Canada Post posted a net profit of $l4-million in 1990-1991. Despite the strike, Canada Post delivered a record 10 billion pieces of mail, up 3-1 percent from the preceding year. The independent auditors of Ernst & Young reported an all-time high of 98 percent on-time delivery to standards in the final quarter. Mail processing efficiency, measured by pieces processed per hour paid, rose 6 percent. "Investments in mail processing equipment, in information systems and in process costing have led to major improvements in productivity," said Canada Post president !ui' and chief executive officer, Donald H. Lander. "Temporary financial setbacks in 1991-1992 have not deterred our commitment to service improvements, investments, product development and productivity enhancement crucial to building a successful corporation," he said. "We've invested almost $2 billion in the last five years in products, facilities, equipment and restructuring initiatives to improve service." "Vial of Life" marketed NORTH VANCOUVER - The Vial of Life, a devke that is designed to assist paramedics and others in responding to emergency calls, is now being sold by pharmacies in Greater Vancouver and distribution is currently being extended throughout British Columbia and to the rest of Canada. Everybody agrees that, as a safety measure, it's a great idea — an easy to find, easy to identify vial with all the pertinent medical information when paramedics respond to an emergency call. It is considered especially useful for seniors and families with children and has the support of emergency response personnel and the British Columbia Pharmacy Association. The vial contains a bright red and white decal to be attached to one's refrigerator door - right where every paramedic can see it. Attached to the top shelf inside is the vial containing crucial medical information at a time when prompt and appropriate treatment may be critical. A new company has been formed to produce and market the Vial of Life and make it readily available. Each counter- top box contains two dozen vials, each with a medical form, the decal for the refrigerator door and the rubber band which attaches the vial to the top shelf of the refrigerator.

It isn't what you've got, but what you do with it By ROBIN KITAGAWA LANGLEY - "The gifts you bring to the boy and those he returns to you are an essential exchange in any relationship. Especially those relationships that focus on self esteem and support the risk taking and courage requked for spkitual growth. But your gift to us moms may not be so visible to you. "For me, the fkst has to be that most ultimate gift, time. Time is right up there with winning the Loto 6-49. Better even than your lad's school principal phoning to say there was a misunderstanding and it wasn't your son who was running the strip poker behind the trees at lunch, or the orthodontist deciding your 12 year old may make it without those $3,000 braces! "Ask any single parent. Time is the most precious commodity. Time for one's self, and extra to share with the other children. To watch the other guy's whole baseball practice. To help look for the frog that has just escaped under the freezer. To watch the brand new trick just perfected on the trampoline. To read an extra story. Even to enjoy the luxury of total privacy, which means not being paged in the bathroom. Heady stuff — and happens all too rarely in families like ours. "As for my lads, I truly believe they feel nurtured, encouraged, strengthened and guided by thek growing relationships with each of thek Big Brothers. It is good for me to know that when there have been tough decisions or consequences from disappointments and inappropriate behavior happening at home, although never at my home, or at school, my guys have a trusted friend they can lay it all out to. "They need to say it all: 'Life isnt fak!' or 'Mom loves him best!' — whatever, but all of us need some place to take all that. Some place where we know its safe to show exactly who we are, and know we are heard with empathy, compassion and humour. Then given encouragement about choices of actions — way to cope and deal with things. "Big Brothers' presence in our life ckcle allows me to slay my dragons and climb my mountains with more panache and determination, they keep me keeping the faith — to do it just for today and renew my determination for the next day to be the best I can make k be. "Thank you is hardly an adequate word — but please accept it from a heart that is full and encouraged that my sons and all the boys involved have been given the most major of all life skills — A great role model.

Early in the book, he points a finger at the "aging nutters out in smalltown Ontario" who roused the wrath of Quebecers by trampling on their flag. Here and elsewhere the foundation of Richler's satire is the grotesquery of the facts themselves rather than malicious intent. It just so happens that Richler is a master of the caustic phrase and sees no reason to repress it. While satire abounds, it doesn't ambush the book's basic objectivity. After reading the "Postscript" in which Richler levels the critics of his New Yorker article of September 23,1991, one wonders if the critics haven't been satirizing tbe satirist. With all the hoopla damning the book as a savage attack—even as "hate" literature— it is easy to forget that Richler retains a vein of romanticism. It's a less prominent and certainly less publicized part of him, but integral nonetheless. The book's subtitle begins with the word "requiem," and a requiem, or hymn for the dead, is not without sentiment. And neither is the book Just witness the final page. Richler's satiric jabs may, then, be an outgrowth of his nostalgic, sentimental attachments—an indication of the degree to which the Quebec and Canada he "wants to see" falls short of the reality he "does see." Will Oh Canada! Oh Quebec! win a Governor General's Award? Not likely! That would be politically incorrect. But the book does offer an underdog's lively, honest and heartfelt view of Quebec's treatment of Jewish and English minorities. Even Canadians violently opposed to Richler's views might ask themselves a couple of questions. First, isn't there a kernel of truth in the satire? And second, are we again persecuting a Jew instead of applauding a concerned Canadian? Certainly we can all thank Richler for keeping Canadian culture lively. Oh Canada! Oh Quebec!: Requiem for a Divided Country by Mordecai Richler Penguin Books, 277 pages, $14.99 (paperback; not available in hardcover) By now it's hardly hot news that a great debates—even furor—surrounds Mordecai Richler's Oh Canada! Oh Quebec!: Requiem for a Divided Country. Quebecers opting for sovereignty tend to loath it, and federalists aren't dancing in the streets. A resident of Quebec, Richler writes from the perspective of a double minority: not only is he English-speaking, he's also Jewish. Not surprisingly, his major criticism of Quebecois culture targets its relatively high level of anti-Semitism and the repressive anti-English language laws enshrined in Bills 101 and 178. And, if separatism wins the day, he has grave reservations about the economic well- being of Quebec's working class. Yet these real concerns have been almost totally obscured by nitwitted writers and journalists, politicians and professors who ought to know better. Too much response to the book has been silly at best and downright foolish or malicious at worst. What is so badly needed amidst all the mudslinging is a sense of perspective. Richler, after all, is a satirist, and the first thing to get straight about satire is its militant use of language. To paraphrase Northrop Frye, satire is verbal assault designed to expose and ridicule vice and folly. It's meant to rattle its audience and wake it up. So a satirist, by virtue of his occupation, points out the pitfalls of his society and uses strong, pointed language to do it. Richler is no exception. Indeed, he peppers his book with spicy phrases, not all of 34252.Marshall Road, Abbotsford 852 6660 ^ Citizenship ceremony FORT LANGLEY - On July 1 the Township of Langley will once again have the honor of hosting a court of Canadian Citizenship on the grounds of historic Fort Langley.

B -— ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, My next door neighbour - I'll call her Daisy because she reminds me of a dog — can't keep her eyes or hands off my husband. She is all over him at get-togethers and parties and tries to spend as much time with him as she can. I didn't notice at the start when we first moved in next to her and her husband, but now mat I think back it started right from the first day. She used to come over and have coffee with me in the mornings and she was always asking questions about him, like what his favourite color was, etc. Last week we planned a barbecue together at her house and I was still naive enough to not put two and two together. When dessert time came after our barbecue she brought out the cake. It was.my husband's most favourite kind and he was really impressed. That was one of the things she had asked me about when we were drinking coffee and having 'girl friend' chats. Now my husband is talking about Daisy and what a wonderful cook and neighbour she is. What do you think I should do, or should I just forget it and keep on being friends with her? I am feeling very nervous right now. Signed: Cutting in on my territory. Dear Cutting, I think it's time you stopped barbecuing with your panting neighbour. If you have coffee with her again tell her in no uncertain terms to keep her paws off your husband. Moving away may be a bit drastic so just remove yourself from the company of Daisy. If your husband asks why you are not seeing her anymore, tell him the truth. These may be the dog days of summer but Daisy is taking advantage with her tricks. Dear Readers, We met a young man named Tim at our house the other day. He is four years old and lives with his mom and dad and two older brothers at Walnut Grove. Tim's brothers are eight and twelve and I was informed by Tim that he didn't have big brothers, he had "medium" and "large." We were so taken with this statement I thought I would share it with you.

JULY 2. 1992 13 Blue and White Traditions keeps art of quilting alive and well FORT LANGLEY - Two dozen blue and white quilts will be on display at the Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre from Sunday, June 28 until July 26. This exhibition, "Blue and White Traditions" is made possible through the generous support of the Langley Arts Council. Blue and white quilts have been a significant genre in the history of American quilting since the late 1700s. This aspect of American quilting arose from the cultivation of the indigo plant in the early American colonies of Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, and South Carolina, where it was an important cash crop. Indigo was favored as a dyestuff because it produced a rich, blue dye that was colorfast, fade-resistant, soluble in water, and worked on linen, cotton, wool, and silk. The importation of blue and white porcelain ware from China in the 18th century further helped to stimulate the desire for textiles with blue and white color schemes. By the late 1800's, American textile mills were producing hundreds of blue and white prints to meet the increasing demand. Although the development of synthetic dyes led to a decline in indigo production, the tradition of quilting within this limited palette continues today, as this exhibition demonstrates. The quilts employ the most recent technological developments in dyes, fabrics, materials, and equipment and utilize the techniques of piecing, assembling, and quilting from hand- stitching to machine-quilting. The quilts selected for this exhibition include those with traditional patterns, such as "Bear's Paw," and contemporary quilted wall hangings, such as "Escher in the Sky with Diamonds." As was customary with many early American quilts, quilts in this exhibition were made to honor a personal relationship or to commemorate an important event in the quitter's life. Each quilt is accompanied by a statement from the artist explaining why she made the quilt. "Blue and White Traditions" was curated by Mary Cross, quilt artists and national quilt The Blue and White Traditions exhibit features Liz Deck's Ocean Star (38" x 38"). The show runs June 28 to July 26 at Langley Centennial Museum & National Exhibition Centre. exhibition juror, and Marie Lyman, textile artist and independent scholar. The exhibition is circulated by Visual Arts Resources of the University of Oregon Museum of Art. Visual Arts Resources is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Oregon Arts Commission, the Friends of the Museum, the University of Oregon, and private foundations. Additional funding for this exhibition was provided by Northwest Quilters, Inc.

Terrible affair, says neighbor MURRAYVILLE - A "terrible, disgusting affair," said Teres Heneghan. The council delegate demanded to know what kind of compensation, if any, she was going to receive. Heneghan said she had lived with a garage next door for the past 19 years and now wanted it shut down. The neighbor, who has rebuilt old cars in his garage "has a lot of friends, and many of them from municipal hall," said Heneghan, intimating that was why the business continued. "He has not been operating for quite some time now," said Mayor John Beales...i|And Administrator Jim Godfrey added that it was hard at any time to prove that commercial work was going on. jj&|t YOUR COMPLETE TECHNICAL STORE.

JULY 2. 1992 15 By PETER BARTEL ALDERGROVE - A concert happened in Aldergrove on May 30 and many people missed it. It was not a rock concert — although it focused on The Rock. It was not a fiddler's hoe-down, although it had some western style to it. It was not a classical concert either — although some may have dubbed it classic — for Aldergrove, anyhow. Why then were there over 100 people from seven or eight denominations in Aldergrove together for a Concert of Prayer? Simple. The Rock, Jesus Christ, challenged the religious establishment, the "believer" of his day, to get off their establishment wagons and onto their knees to humble themselves. They were the ones who needed to confess their sins and to open their eyes to the misery and poverty around them. We, the Aldergrove Ministerial, believe that the words Jesus spoke then are still calling us to do likewise. So we gathered on May 30 at the Aldergrove Christian Assembly (beside Buckerfields) to pray for: personal renewal; for Church and Community Renewal; and for National Renewal in the face of our Nation's troubles. We laid aside our differences to do together what Jesus taught us to do — to pray. Our guests were Annabel Page from Trinity and Cal Chambers from the Bradner Presbyterian Church. Both have been involved in Concerts of Prayer in Ottawa and Mission. The western ring was added by the musicians from the host group, and the "classic" — well, it was a classic event for Aldergrove and for many who came, young and old. Many had never done that before — that's classic. The turn-out was beyond all expectations. Will we repeat this? YES! When'' It is planned, but if I told you the date of the next fifth Sunday of the month, you might forget. One guest will be Dean Page, from Trinity. So stay tuned. Lutheran women to meet ALDERGROVE - Shirley Kramer will be the delegate for the Lutheran Women's Missionary League of Immanuel Lutheran church in Aldergrove. The 21st biennial convention will be held at St. John Lutheran church in Vernon on July 4-6. The Lutheran Women's Missionary League is an auxiliary unit of the Lutheran Church-Canada. The Alberta- British Columbia District consists of 96 societies. Approximately 350 women are expeced to attend. j Projects to be voted on will include Missions in Canada's ethnic groups, Russia, Lutheran Bible Translators, Concordia Lutheran Seminary, Radio Ministry and endowment fund for Christian schools. The funds for these projects are collected in a voluntary "Mite Box" offering and will total about $60,000 for the two year biennrum. The theme for the convention is "In Jubilant Celebration". The internaional LWML is celebrating their 50th anniversary in 1992. Carole MacKay, Edmonton, District President will preside at the business sessions. Rev. Harold Clark, Leduc, District Counselor, will be the preacher at the opening Festival Communion Service on Saturday evening. He will also lead a Bible study each day. Guest speaker at the banquet on Sunday night will be Ida Mall, Midland, Michigan. She is the president of the International LWML. She will be conducting one 'or' the five Interest Sessions on Sunday afternoon. Other Interest Sessions will be Jeanette Lietzau, Lutheran Bible Translators; Carlene E. Rudnick, Edmonton, on musicto praise God; Lillian Rush, Kelowna, Ministering to elderly; and Elsa Neuner, Summerland, Feelings. The-objective of the LWML is to assist each woman of the Lutheran Church in affirming her relationship with the Triune God so that she is enabled to use her gifts in ministry to the people of the world. Other women attending from this area as guests will be Elvira Hadvick and Irene Hippe. Christian school graduates ABBOTSFORD - The twelfth annual Abbotsford Christian Secondary graduation ceremonies were celebrated on Wednesday June 24, at the Second Christian Reformed Church. Pastor Harry Salomons spoke to the record number of 47 graduates on the text found in Proverbs 4:13: "Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life." Salomons reminded all that the "when-I-was-your-age" stories which parents tell show their concern. He encouraged the grads to remember that faith cannot be separated from scholarship. He also noted the passage spoke not only about wisdom of mind, but of a changed life. "Education is to follow Him who is wisdom" Salomons said. Nicole Luu won the honour of class valedictorian by achieving the highest grade point average. After thanking the parents for the privilege of an education which focuses on God, Luu challenged her classmates to recall a teacher's statement, "Choices have consequences." This graduating class has provided Abbotsford Christian with excellent leadership. An indicator of how they used God's gift of intellect is that over half will be attending post-secondary institutions next year. Bursaries and scholarships totaling some $8,850 were awarded to students. Furthermore, eight awards of tuition waivers were presented to students by six post-secondary institutions. The ACS society would like to thank individuals, companies, institutions, and clubs for generously assisting these students in thek future training. Relief reaches truly needy in Moscow CLEARBROOK - Food sent through Mennonite Central Committee is being distributed to the most needy in Moscow, according to MCC workers for Abbotsford, BC, Maureen and Herb Klassen. On June 1 the' Klassens saw groceries distributed at the Uspenski Sobor Orthodox Church in Moscow. "The aid is targeted for the marginalized poor-pensioners, widows, people with large families and people with disabilities," Maureen says. "These are people who find it impossible to live on meagre state pensions." When the Klassens arrived at the church, they found a long line of people, mostly old women and people with disabilities, waiting outside for the last 90 boxes of groceries, all that was left of a shipment of 275 boxes that the church had received earlier in the week. All of the recipients had been carefully screened to make sure that only the most needy received the food. "For most, this was the first time they had received any aid," Klassen says. According to Mary Raber, who coordinates MCC work in the CIS, the average pension in the former Soviet Union only amounts to around 600 rubles a month, while a litre of milk and loaf of bread can cost 40 rubles. "Most people in the CIS can get by — they have two or more incomes, they have gardens or goods they can trade or sell for what they need. But things are harder for the elderly and people with disabilities." Around 100,000 boxes of groceries were sent to the CIS from North America through the United Methodist Committee on Relief, 9,000 of which came from MCC. Food sent to Moscow will be "most welcome," Raber says, since that city is known as "the pensioner's capital," with more spn i*S§it| It's a Moving World! And we are here to serve its moving population. If you are new to our community, call the Welcome Wagon hostess. Call Remy - 856-2711 (Answering service - 530-6009) SINCE 1930 O elderly than any other city in the country. Fkst in line at the church, Klassen says, was a group of elderly widows, including Nadia, a 77 year-old pensioner who cannot buy enough to eat on her inadequate pension, and 95 year- old Anna Markova. Markova's pension is larger, Klassen says, but because of her age she cannot go out to hunt for bargains and stand in lines. Also in line at the Moscow church was Vladimir Nikolaivich, a 42 year-old disabled man who cannot survive on his pension of 350 rubles a month. "He wept his thanks," Klassen says, adding that a young priest at the church told them that "many people want help, but we cannot help them all. We could use three times as much aid as we have received." "Again and again, as people receive their food, they thanked us," Klassen says. "God be praised," they said. "We are praying for you." MCC sent nine sea containers of groceries, each containing about 35,000 lbs. of food. One container was packaged and sent from the MCC BC warehouse in Clearbrook, BC. Waldo Neufeld, executive director of MCC BC commented, "we join with the recipients of food in the CIS, to say thanks to those who donated funds in BC to make it possible to send this aid." Margaret Gervan of Aldergrove was re-elected a director of the British Columbia Lung Association during the association's annual general meeting last week in Vancouver. Gervan, who is sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 265, is serving her 14th year as a B.C. Lung director. Marking its 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.

Lettuce growers troubled VICTORIA - British Columbia lettuce growers are being forced to destroy their crops while the dumping of cheap US lettuce continues despite repeated warnings from the industry and the Liberal opposition. "B.C. lettuce growers are running out of time," says official opposition agriculture critic Bob Chisholm. "Revenue .Canada has finally launched an investigation into U.S. dumping, but our farmers cant wait three months." Added Chisholm: "By the time the investigation is complete, the growing season will be over, and B.C. lettuce will be rotting in the ground while we are eating American lettuce at our summer barbecues." B.C. vegetable growers requested a Revenue Canada investigation in January, and again in March and April The growers first warned B.C. agriculture minister Bill Barlee about the dumping problem in November 1991, but the minister so far has failed to act. "We are well into June now, and the minister is still not responding, choosing instead to pass the buck to the federal government, claiming the issue is out of is jurisdiction." Chisholm noted there are several steps the B.C. ministry of agriculture could take to make it tougher to import American lettuce, including slowing trucks at the border by .demanding stringent health and safety inspections of vehicles and produce. "Earlier this year the minister promised a "Buy BO campaign, but he has failed to live up to that commitment," the critic said. The government's treatment of BC farmers represents yet another broken election promise by the NDP. At thi rate, it won't be long before every single promise the NDP made is broken." In their election campaign platform 'A Better Way1, the NDP stated they wouldlend the neglect of farming perpetuated by the Socred administration, and would introduce new programs to support farmers. Chisholm joined members of the Cloverdale Lettuce and Vegetable g Growers Association when they plowed under their crops in Cloverdale on June 16. Supply management "strategy" VICTORIA - Major steps to strengthen and enhance British Columbia's regulated marketing and supply management systems for agricultural products were announced by Agriculture Minister Bill Barlee. "The release of a strategic plan by the British Columbia Marketing Board clarifies the role and objectives of the BCMB in its functions as a supervisory, appeal and signatory body for regulated marketing commodities," said the minister. "This plan focuses on addressing the interests of all parties affected by regulated marketing, streamlining administrative procedures and ensuring the continued impartiality of board appeal decisions," said Barlee. Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding has been developed jointly to clarify the respective roles and responsibilities of the Ministry of Agriculture and the British Columbia Marketing Board.

JULY 2. 1992 17 Farm outlook is "brighter" OTTAWA - Realized net farm income for 1992 is expected to reach $4.54-billion nationally, up 40 percent from last year and the second highest income since 1980. The announcement was made by Agriculture Canada economists in releasing their spring agriculture outlook for 1992. The revised farm income projections were prepared in consultation with provincial ministries of agriculture and Statistics Canada. Economists attribute the increase to higher program payments offsetting lower market receipts and higher operating expenses. Forecast higher payments are the result of large payouts under the safety net programs (GRIP and NISA), the farm income support programs (FSAM I and II ) and the National Tripartite Stabilization programs. Total farm receipts are forecast to increase by eight percent from the 1991 level to $23-billion as higher program payments largely offset lower livestock receipts with stable crop receipts. Total farm operating expenses, before rebates, are forecast to increase by two percent to $l6-billion in 1992. This marginal increase in operating expenses is the result of higher expenditures for stabilization premiums, feed, building and machinery repairs, wages, rent, property taxes and pesticides.

As president of Alliance Quebec, an English-speaking Quebec community organization, I have been asked some rather important questions about the future of Canada. With the federal government's constitutional proposals being prepared and received, it is an important time for the future of Canada. I thought you might be interested in an English-speaking Quebec perspective. Alliance Quebec is a democratically organized group which strives to represent the most equitable possible alliance of the English-speaking community from across this province. Alliance Quebec's raison de'etre is to promote the concerns of English-speaking Quebecers. In Canada's constitutional debate, Alliance Quebec has two important national objectives. First, we want the Canadian constitution to reflect the linguistic duality of Canada. We feel very strongly that this country was built on the idea of two official languages. We believe that all levels of government have the duty to ensure the vitality and development of both the English and French language in Canada. And we think that should be in our constitution. A fundamental democratic principle is that the majority rules, while appreciating and understanding the minority. This is at work in several ways for us in Quebec. We are minority within a minority in Canada. And, being a minority, we also know that minorities have to understand and appreciate majorities. As we seek to ensure our place within a changing Quebec society, we also need to guarantee the future of Quebec within Canada. Alliance Quebec's second important objective is a function of the first. We believe that Quebec is a distinct society in Canada, and we think it should be recognized as such in the constitution. Living and working in this province, we know that Quebec is different. This is not to say that it is either better or worse, but in the unique context of our country, Quebec is decidedly different. You will know from letters which have appeared in your pages that some residents of Quebec feel that the situation here is beyond hope and that this province is neither willing nor able to be a responsible part of Canada. We obviously disagree. Quebec is our home in Canada and we intend to keep it that way. The future of Canada is in all of our hands. We want to ensure that we all have a united, fair- minded and understanding country in which to pursue all of our goals. ROBERT J. KEATON President, Alliance Quebec, .Montreal 2k^. „ . IY — Wfii^raOT?P5ra^ BWHM THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JULY 2. 1992 23 • Education funding review welcomed by B.C. teachers VANCOUVER - The British Columbia Teachers' Federation is pleased that the government has finally launched a review of the public education funding system, according to BCTF president-elect, Ray Worley "The cabinet decided on the review in January," Worley said, "and we have been anticipating the detailed announcement ever since." "Unfortunately, the review will do nothing to remedy the funding problems facing trustees and teachers. There is an urgent need for government to move on those problems, too." Worley said the BCTF will participate in the review, working with other education stakeholders to determine the best possible funding structure. He expressed disappointment at the lack of involvement of teachers in the panel of experts, and questioned ■ whether a separate panel of elected officials was warranted. "The tight timeline worries me, too," Worley added. "This is a complex issue, and a thorough review is called for. After such a long delay in establishing the review, the government hasn't given its review team much time to do its work." Worley said the BCTF had called for a review, and emergency funding relief for some school districts. "The government has taken steps to address only part of the problem. The short-term crisis remains. Program cuts and layoffs continue." Dubas convicted of fraud VICTORIA - B.C. Supreme Court Justice Alan Macdonell has found former deputy health minister Stan Dubas guilty on one count of defrauding the government of over $1,000. Dubas, 56, free on bail till sentencing on August 21, broke into tears in the courtroom, Friday, when he heard the verdict. He maintained, during the trial, that he was innocent of intent to defraud, and is considering an appeal. He was acquitted of six other, lesser charges of breach of trust and accepting a benefit. The charges all related to three trips Dubas made to Europe between 1986-'88, to view hospital equipment. Dubas had arranged the trips for himself and former health minister Peter Dueck, and both men lost their ministry of health jobs when reports of impropriety first surfaced. A lengthy RCMP investigation subsequently cleared Dueck of any wrongdoing, but led to the charges against Dubas. Justice Macdonell ruled that Dubas committed a crime because he tried to claim expenses of $10,488.68 from the government. Those expenses had already been paid for by Siemens, a European medical equipment supplier. Justice Macdonell said in his written decision that Dubas' testimony that he was attempting to repay Siemens was not credible. On the other charges, the Justice ruled that there was no case because the Crown did not prove that Dubas or Siemens obtained any undue advantage from the junkets.
