m. Two fires at local schools Arson has been determined ALDERGROVE - RCMP are investigating two fires that happened at local schools on August 15 and 17. The first was at North Otter Elementary at about 12:30 p.m. Investigators noticed that several doors on the north side of the building had been partially burnt. Further investigation revealed that an 11 year-old from the Abbotsford area had been playing with matches, lighting cardboard boxes on fire, and shoving them under the steps. The result is that the school sustained extensive damage estimated between $100,000 and $200,000. No diarges have been laid against tlie youth because of age, and police are still investigating. The second fire was just two days later at Brookswood Secondary School. At about 2:30 a.m. firefighters arrived to find the school engulfed in flames. Investigation revealed that the fire had been deliberately set, and tlie damage is estimated between $300,000 and $500,000. Police are asking that anyone with information regarding this serious crime is asked to call the Langley Detachment Serious Crime Unit or CrimeStoppers. |*he Mdeigiov$ Meyi&JtiuSf non cxzrj-xxruncfcuzk VOL.36 NO.34 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24. 1994 40CENTS Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 This intricate carousel, carved from Abbotsford 45 hours to carve and basswood, took Horst Jakubke of paint.

This time it was a counterfeit $100 US bill that was passed at a local gas station. There are still fake Canadian $20 bills circulating tlie area, both old ones (1979 series) as well as new ones with the hologram on them, and new $100 Canadian bills as well. Anyone who is suspicious is asked to call the police. BURNABY - Canadians will be asked to change tlie way they make long-distance calls next month. Starting September 4, callers should include the 604 area code when making long-distance calls within British Columbia. Exceptions will be calls placed to 800 or 900 numbers. British Columbians now only dial 1 or 0 and a seven-digit phone number when they make long-distance calls within their own area code. The new long-distance dialing procedure is being introduced because telephone companies in Canada and the United States have run out of area codes to which telephone numbers can be assigned. More than 13,500 new telephone numbers are requested eveiy day in Canada and die United States, due in large part to an increased demand for telecommunications equipment such as fax machines, cellular phones and modems, '*!»* The new dialing procedure opens up a pool of 640 new area codes. Up to 8-million new tele phone numbers can be assigned to each new area code. Although callers are befog asked next month to include the area code for all long-distance calls within the province, calls placed without tlie 604 area code will still be processed until January 1995. The conversion period will allow customers enough time to get used to the dialing change and modify telecommunications equipment.

Mendqza, earlier this year, had a. sexuai assault charge against him stayed on'the conditiotl'that he be deported back to E_l Salvador. However, he has come back and the immigration board has granted him the right to another immigration hearing. Fraser Valley West MP Randy White, who is trying to have major changes made to the immigration system, has been carefully fallowing the case and has been very vocal about the injustice happening. Last week he was quoted in The Star saying: "This is preposterous. Tlie onus should be on them to prove why the process is closed, not on us to say why it should te open." Originally White had planned to take a bus load of const ituents to the hearing but Mendoza's lawyer asked for a closed hearing. White and a lawyer tor the Vancouver Sun have counter- filed to have the meeting open to tlie public, which is what the current argument is about. White has been issued a gag order, which means that he cannot comment about the case. During die hearing-he is not allowed to ask any questions. Lawyers can ask him questions but he cannot ask any of his own. He is not allowed to have a lawyer present, and even Howard May, his parliamentary assistant, who was planning to sit in on the hearing, was asked to leave. Ail Hanger, MP for Calgary was also planning to attend the hearing and said, "This is a test case. The public can see how cumter- some and against their best interest (tlie system is). This is what people are paying a billion dollars a year for." "The (immigration) Minister Mendoza, page 2 PUBLICATIONS MAR. REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 NEWS?

Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi promised to do something about criminal immigration cases on two Vancouver radio stations last June. He also promised a crackdown on criminal deportations. Mendoza has 12 previous convictions, and the sexual assault charge was stayed only on the basis that he be deponed. The charge has' since teen relaid and the new trial date is November 3, in Matsqui Provincial Court. Elisabeth Dodd, a senior refugee hearing officer said that die purpose of last week's hearing was to find out if thgre is anything that could be made public that would be detrimental to the claimant or anyone in his family. However, in this type of hearing the officer plays a limited role, and the outcome has no bearing on the claimant. She also said that our law allows for a deported person to return after 90 days and make a new claim, a process which can go on forever. White is currently on holidays but will be back for the next scheduled hearing. Teenagers charged in beatings should facej the music DAWSON CREEK - BC Reform caucus leader Jack Weisgerber said that tlie teenagers charged with beating to death Graham Niven of Coquitlam and Andre Castet of Sidney should be tried in adult court. "Teenagers who are charged with vicious, senseless beatings should lie dealt wilh severely under tlie law,'' Weisgerber said, "especially in tragic cases such as these, where tlie victims have died. "Two innocent people have been savagely beaten to deadi in die past week and the persons accused should be tried in adult court and dealt widi accordingly. "Youdis 14 years or older who are charged with murder or serious violent crimes should not be allowed to hide behind die protective cloak of die Young Offenders Act," Weisgerber said. . "British Columbians, including law enforcement officers, are losing confidence in our judicial system, largely because our laws on violent crime are too soft and lenient. Nowhere is diat more apparent dian widi respect to Uie Young Offenders Act. "Where is die provincial government on diis issue and why liaven't we heard from die Attorney General? The province scrapped its planned submission to the federal government on changes to the Young Offenders Act last year and has been hiding its head in the sand ever since," "Weisgerber said.'" *" 'Fun centre' keeping kids in line? MURRAYVILLE - A man who wants to open a 'family fun centre' in Aldergrove told council members here Monday night that he believes it will help on tlie crime situation in die community. Meeting delayed MURRAYVILLE - Because of die Labor Day weekend on September 5 Uiere will not be a public meeting of township council until the following week. Councilors will meet as usual at seven o'clock in the evening on Monday, September 12 in council chambers in die basement at municipal hall. Shawn Chappell said he had been told by police that a "very high crime rate" exists in Aldergrove and that since "diere's absolutely nothing to do for the 13 to 16 year olds" his proposed business could improve on die situation. It would keep the youngsters in one place rather than have Uiem congregate on every street corner, he added. Chappell would like to open die entertainment centre, whicli he refused to call an arcade, on 1,500 square feet of floor space in die . Aldergrove mall. He was seeking council's support for the idea. ,|f|lll^ Inquiry saidlp be a smokescreen VICTORIA - Anti-abortionist Gordon Watson has charged diat die B.C. government launched a criminal investigation into his activities to distract die public from its funding of abortion clinics.

AUGrUSiP.24. 19.94 Woodstock '94? Enough already 1993 Youth Ambassador Michelle Dilk hangs a photo of 1994 participant Liana Harris of Aldergrove. Liana is one of 35 participants in this year's Youth Ambassador program, which runs until September 3 at the PNE. Youth 'ambassadors' from the entire province at PNE VANCOUVER - Thirty-five teens from 12 regions across British Columbia are participating in the 1994 Pacific National Exhibition Youth Ambassador program. "It's a wonderful experience, it allows youths from around B.C.to really get to know each other...diey play, work and volunteer together," says PNE Youth Ambassador coordinator Maggie Taylor. The male and female participants, who range in age from 17 to 21, have all been selected by their local communities. All the 1994 candidates are heavily involved in bodi youth and community issues, some having completed over 150 hours of volunteer work with various organizations. Different than past years, the 1994 program will take place near the end of the fair. Tlie five-day program has a jam-packed schedule, getting the youdi involved in everything from volunteer projects, forums dealing with youth issues and toastmasters' public speaking workshops to sightseeing ancl of course, big fun. At the end of die program tlie youths themselves wilj select, by secret ballot, a 12 person youth council headed by four ambassadors. The council is updated regularly on issues concerning young people and the Pacific National Exhibition. The four youth ambassadors are actively involved diroughout the year in planning and contributing to youth programs and issues at the PNE. The whole group of 16 will meet twice during the year and help draft positive changes they wish to see made to the program. "The participants themselves took possession of the program...they told us what diey wanted in a youdi program in the 90's and we are listening," says Taylor. 1993 Youth Ambassador Terri McLellan believes the PNE program is very worthwhile. "We've had a great time, I can't believe what a positive youth program this is...we've had a lot of responsibilities, done a lot of talking and meeting, and put forward a lot of ideas on the future of the program." "See you again in 2019," rocker Joe Cocker told the crowd at Woodstock '94 after his performance this month, a repeat of his show at the original Woodstock back in 1969. The year 2019 may be a bit too soon, however, if the media hype for die recent event is anything to go by. Every radio and television station, newspaper and magazine in North America has been harping on atout Woodstock '94 for the better part of six months. Now that die thing is over, we'll Iik,ely have to put up with faux sociological observations on the evenl for the next few months. Tlie comments togan on. tlie CBC news as one reporter noted how the event attended by about half a million people had -brought die generations together. That it did - both on stage and off. Above the crowd, original Woodstockers such as Crosby, Stills and Nash shared the stage with modern groups such as the Smash 'artists' apprehended MATSQUI - At 2:15 a.m. on Sunday, August 20,'■&}' two Clearbrook residents witnessed two men smash the front window of the Clearbrook Road Turbo station. They grabbed some cigarettes and fled in a vehicle. The witnesses notified police of the incident giving them a description of die suspects and dieir vehicle. A short time later Matsqui police, widi the assistance of several RCMP units, stopped the suspect car on the Freeway at the intersection of Lickman Road, in die Chilliwack area. Two young offenders from the Coquitlam area were arrested and now face charges relating to the incident. Red Hot Chili Peppers. In the mud below, parents rocked with their children, yuppies.' danced with hippies. The original, though, came from the protests of the 'sixties. It was the last huirah for thai era, and far more symbolic than the Death of a Hippie event staged several years earlier. This event was not free as the 1969 version eventually became due to die sheer chaos of the happening. It cost almost. $400 Canadian to get in this time round. You couldn't take your own food in and then were gouged for it when you did get in. Although it may have been a great time if you could afford it. it was a sham compared to the original. The sooner all the hype and analysis goes away on Woodstock '94, the better. WALTER J. PEARCE Have 'Life1 on your terms Get the life insurance coverage you need, when you need it.

AUGUST 24.19a4 Disciplinary action totally inadequate The provincial attorney general's ministry announced that four senior corrections officials have been disciplined for their part in the release of Danny Perrault. Perrault was the teenage killer who held a 28-year-old Surrey woman captive, raping her in the process. He had just walked away from a no-security facility where he was being held, despite his violent past and record of escapes. And now, the people responsible for ensuring Perrault could not be a menace to the public have been disciplined. Norman Ellis, acting director of programs at the Willingdon Youth Custody Centre, has been demoted to probation officer with a drop in pay to $44,000, a cut of $15,000. Gordon Hogg has had his duties and responsibilities reduced and received a pay cut of $5,000. These are two of the disciplinary actions meted out by the provincial government which said the four officials showed poor judgment. Deputy minister Maureen Maloney said the moves were "meant to restore public confidence and to say that people who make mistakes will be held accountable." In the real world, the action of people who would let a teen killer roam free and rape would be called gross dereliction of duty and likely result in those people losing their jobs. Unfortunately, this is not the real world, this is government. In saying this is meant to restore public confidence, Maloney makes a travesty of the suffering that Surrey woman experienced at Perrault's hands. The system was there to protect that woman and thousands like her from men such as Perrault. It didn't and, as such, the people responsible should have received more than demotions and a monetary slap on the wrist. Canada minus Quebec 'a risky proposition', says UBC study VANCOUVER - A Canada without Quebec would result in marginally increased growth within die rest of the country at great expense, according to a UBC study of die risks and returns of Quebec separation. The study, by Michael Goldberg, dean of die Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, and Commerce Prof. Maurice Levi, is die first empirical attempt to apply die principles of portfolio theory - developed in die field of finance to the political organization of a federalist state. "Diversity is essential to die growth and stability of any financial portfolio, whether it's a personal portfolio of stocks or bonds, or die portfolio of provinces and territories we Gill Canada," said Goldberg. "Quebec adds noticeably to the diversification of Canada. Widiout Quebec, Canada would enjoy higher growth, since Quebec has grown less rapidly than Canada as a whole. However, this higher growdi would come at the expense of increased volatility in the form of more frequent booms and busts, resulting in more bankruptcies and employment instability. "Taking Quebec out of the portfolio we call Canada would be a risky affair." Governments gain from die diversity of die economies they manage, die audiors write. Diversity has significant benefits for national fiscal management since the more diverse the constituent provincial and regional economies, Uie higher and/or more stable tlie revenue base. This provides a greater ability to maintain living standards across regions. "It may be hard for people to understand how, for example, two volatile stocks can result in a stable portfolio. However, diey balance each other out," said Goldberg. "A portfolio is more stable than any of its specific elements. In preparing diis report, we came to the conclusion diat Canada turns out to be a reasonably efficient portfolio of provinces and territories when die gross domestic product, die value of goods and services produced within each province, is die bottom line." Goldberg and Levi contend that even if diey had the freedom to rebalance die country by making parts bigger and smaller, while eliminating others, die Canadian portfolio could not be substantially improved upon in their portfolio context. The authors took dieir research a step further by determining the growth rate and standard deviation of die growdi rate for Canada under a variety of alternative combinations of die Canadian provinces. If .secession of Quebec meant the loss of Adantic Canada as well, die increased volatility would be even more noticeable, though growth would not be affected, as opposed to losing only Quebec. A Canada widiout B.C. would have slower growdi but would also be volatile. However, a Canada without bodi B.C. and Alberta would grow more slowly and also be more volatile. "Quebec, die Adantic provinces, B.C. and Alberta all add to die portfolio of provinces that is Canada by providing economic diversification benefits to die nation as a whole," said Goldberg. "This should make us appreciate die portfolio of provinces we have inherited, and die economic strength diat flows from our regional economic diversity." m® '-• ' m .-$£ CANADA r AND TUE TOOTH FAIRY MADE I, S5Q0OO VISITS... Maxims g7™ TO ™_[ F,n.IT0P to live by SlX, not five It all started with Murphy, die engineer, who said: "Anydiing diat can go wrong, will." It passed into popular parlance . as Murphy's Law. (By rights, diat law would have been • tagged with die name of somebody responsible for getting out a newspaper, but obviously Murphy was better at public relations). Some years later, an English civil servant by the name of Parkinson published his law: "Work always expandsMo fill the time available to it." And shortly afterwards there followed die Peter .Principle, diat "everybody is promoted to die level of their incompetence." Peter based his principle, I'm sure, on his life as a university professor. Perhaps it's a desperate grasping for'some straw of immortality as we all sink in die great cosmic soup, but the last few years have seen an abundance, an outpouring of maxims, rules, corollaries and formulae. Here are a few examples: * Postlethwnite's Postulation - Virtue is.its. own punishment. * Wade's Lesson - A closed moudi gathers no feet. * Diode's Dictum - When the going get tough, everybody leaves. * Browne's Point of Order - Anydiing is possible if you don't know what you're talking about. * Pauline's Law of the Kitchen - Cleanliness is next to impossible. * McNabb's Maxim - It's easier to get forgiveness dian permission. * Forester's Phenomenon - If die shoe fits, it's ugly. * Curry's Corollary - Tlie secret of success is sincerity.

This person must be fired. * Potter's Law - No matter where you go, diere you are. Personally, I always fancied an apodiegm. Still being some way from tlie summit of die mountain, I'm searching yet for the definitive phrase which will sum up my earthly learning. Thus for now, my Apothegm will have to stand as "Everybody lies, but it doesn't matter as nobody listens."

But the development of a new family of chemical bonding agents could also be applied to protect industrial workers, skateboarders and cyclists. Working on a grant from the Depanment of National Defence, TWU chemistry professor Dr. Jack Van Dyke is studying ways to improve protective gear such as head and face shields, masks, gloves and boots. The study is attempting to find chemical means of mixing plastic and fiberglass in order to enhance the strengdi of protective equipment and make it more abrasion resistant. This is the second grant that Dr. Van Dyke has received in diis area of study. An improvement in strengdi of 10% was achieved in the first study which attempted to chemically mix plastic and fibre- glass togedier. The focus of the second study is to improve die bonding of the new compatibiliying agents in order to provide "stronger chemical links between the two substances. The stronger die bond, the better the fibreglass will be able to absorb the impact of a blow to a piece of equipment. "The potential here is that we develop a whole new family of chemical links that can be used successfully," explains Dr. Van Dyke. The project is being conducted over die 1994/95 fiscal year at Trinity Western University and provides opportunities for TWU students to become involved. Graduate Monica Dyck from Clearbrook assisted widi the research diis summer, and in the fall, senior student Andria Vanderpol from Surrey will become involved with the study. "We may also conduct some additional studies that would involve a number of students who are doing work study or theses, projects," says Dr. Van Dyke. A potential future interest is the possibility of chemically linking rubber and fibreglass. The. project was contracted by the Defence Research Establishment Suffield. Polymer Engineering, a Burnaby company, is also assisting in some of the experimentation under Trinity Western's grant. Money talks... people listen ITS YOUR DOLLAR ... witii your co-host, Financial Advisor fflMDOM STEHEB Tune in for: • MONEY MAKING IDEAS • WEEKLY MARKET REPORTS WORLD CLASS GUESTS ONLY ON AM 1040 For on air call 280-1040 Stenner Financial Advisors H 852-2222 I 700% increase r fees reform in I a wye justifies VANCOUVER - A 700 percent increase in money paid to contract lawyers over the last 10 years is one of the reasons a reform of British Columbia's legal aid system is required. According to Margaret Cissell, chair of Legal Services Society board of directors, British Columbians can no longer afford the existing system. "In fiscal '93/94 we paid contract lawyers $75.6-million dollars," said Cissell. "That accounted for 75 percent of our total expenditures last year. And unfortunately we know from our own consultations, as well as government reviews, diat aldiough we are paying out a lot of money we are not delivering die full service, or an equal level of service, to the poor in B.C." Cissell says in spite of the recent withdrawal of service by some. members of the Association of Legal Aid Lawyers over 2,500 legal aid lawyers remain available to take cases. The reform program - a restructuring of the mixed model currently in use - was announced in February 1994. The reforms , are based on information gadiered during a 10 mondi consultation widi 55 communities in British Columbia, four government reviews and on-going discussions with die legal profession. The reform was unanimously approved by die LSS board of directors. "The mixed model was endorsed by tlie Canadian Bar Association as early as 1987 and is die system we have been using since 1979," explains Cissell. "The reform is essentially a refo- cussing of our efforts which will enable us to better serve our clients and which balances the workload equally between staff and contract lawyers." The new system calls for a shift in the work load between LSS lawyers and contract lawyers each doing approximately 50 percent of the case work and ensures the principle of right to counsel remains in tact. Contract lawyers now handle approximately 85 to 90 percent of legal aid cases and are paid a fee - or tariff - for each case. Highlights of die reform include increased use of staff lawyers and paralegals, a reorganization of the departnient which manages appeals of court decisions, establishing a balance between poverty, family, criminal and immigration law, as well as public legal education, and ensuring access regardless of geography, culture and language. A key issue, and a guiding principle for the Legal Services Society remains die right and access to counsel for all. The Legal Services Society was fomied in 1979 when die province merged the Legal Services Commission and the Legal Aid Society. The LSS currendy delivers its services through 40 locations in British Columbia. In 1993, Legal Services Society referred 74,000 cases to lawyers and served over 100,000 clients. Presenting...

By DORLA MALO ALDERGROVE - 1994 brings you an Aldergrove Fall Fair Awareness Day on Saturday, September 10, rather than the full fledged fair that normally occurs on that weekend. Due to a lack of interest in the volunteer power to organize and put together a hill fair, the Aldergrove Agricultural Association will put on a much smaller idea which will show the public what the fair is about. The Aldergrove Fall Fair Awareness Day . will be at the Aldergrove Mall and will consist of each area of the fair giving a full display of what the section consists of. Members of the Aldergrove Agricultural Association will be available to answer questions about the fair. There will be demonstrations by the Abbotsford Photo Club, and on quilting, knitting, carving, equine art and others. Entertainment will be provided. A colouring contest for the kids will be judged. A raffle will be drawn. A prize given out to a winner drawn from the returned, fully answered survey questionnaire. All members of the community are invited to provide samples to be-on display, although there will be no judging or prizes given out tliis year. We are asking that you bring in something unique (a special recipe you are willing to share or what have you) that will be returned to you at the end of the Awareness Day. If you have any old small agricultural or household items (antique") that you are willing to IgncP to the Aldergrove Agricultural Association to display for tlie day, we would appreciate the help in giving the community a grand show. The Aldergrove Agricultural Association would like to give out the Farmer of the Year Award again this year.

ALDERGROVE COMMUNITY SECONDARY SCHOOL With the combined support of the Ministries of Education and Skilled Labour and Training, Aldergcove Community Secondary School will become one of the focal points in our province for the hew Academic and Trades Apprenticeship Program (ATP). There is a serious shortage of skilled trades people in Canada. Technically trained people say that job security, job satisfaction and a good income are reasons they selected their careers. The challenges that skilled trades people face require a strong educational background. The Academic Trades Programs* offered for the 1994-95 school year are: For Students Interested in the following Careers 1. Engineering, applied science and the trades 2. Engineering, applied science and the trades 3. Horticulture, farming, agribusiness 4. Chef training, foods industry 5. Engineering, applied science and the trades 6. Engineering, applied science and the trades * ATP Programs: telephone Mr. R. Melnyk, Vice-Principal, at 856-2521 Success in ATP will give selected students an academic and technical education that will allow them an advanced placement into an apprenticeship or entry into post-secondary education. The technical component of the ATP will be offered over 2 senior years (i.e. grade 11 and 12). This will equate to the first year of apprenticeship training. Time spent in work experience, including the paid summer practicum, can count towards apprenticeship hours. This can be equivalent to one-third of the first year apprenticeship hours. The program is designed to accomodate students focused on university, college or technical school who would like the option of skilled trades training without closing the door on other options. Aldergrove Community Secondary School will also continue its partnership with the Open Learning Agency to offer first year university courses, in English and psychology, to superior academic students before they graduate from high school. Adults in the community are welcome to register as well. Contact Mr. B. Singer at 856-2521.

And, with the wonderful variety of turkey products available today, it's easy to make a "smart" lunch with turkey. The selection at the deli counter includes a variety of turkey products today - turkey pastrami, turkey salami, turkey beer sausage; turkey ham, smoked turkey breast and black forest turkey are some of tlie "healthy" choices available for sandwiches and party trays. Turkey products contain less fat than the regular deli products and their popularity is increasing quickly. But don't limit these tasty turkey products to sandwiches. They can be used in a wide variety of recipes as well. From breakfast through to late evening snacks, tlie possibilities with turkey are endless.

A roll in the hay and the pitfalls of al fresco sex LONDON - The world had a good laugh last week when it was revealed that a courting couple in Windsor Great Park had come to grief after trying a novel position up a tree. Overexcited perhaps, the naked woman fell and broke her leg. I blame D.H.Lawrence. His vivid descriptions of outdoor sex in Lady Chatterley's Lover planted the idea in the public imagination that making love among the trees and flowers was an unforgettable event. Of course, people were having sex outdoors before Lawrence, but less selfconsciously; they didn't feel tlie same peer pressure to try it in order to prove to themselves that they were enjoying a full sex life. Unfortunately, Lawrence's books and the resulting taste for outdoor sex caught on exactly tlie moment when the great outdoors began to disappear. In the past 50 years there simply have not been enough isolated spots in tlie woods or among the sand dunes. Even die phrase "a roll in the hay" seems singularly inappropriate in an age when hay is stacked in big round bales in huge fields next to motorways. Still, the pressure remains to try sex in die great outdoors at least once. The emphasis here is on 'once', because no one I know would care to repeat the experience; however, a male friend notes gloomily, "You have to tiy it with each new partner." It isn't as easy as it sounds. First, it has to be summer and you have to find an isolated spot. There are dien all the hazards of the great outdoors - sand, ants, invisible spiky things on the ground. Not to mention animals that bite. A friend, now a father of tliree, recalls the horrors of al fresco sex on his honeymoon. They had cancelled their plans for a big wedding after his mother had a stroke, and setded for a quiet marriage and a short honeymoon in Hastings on the south coast of England. "When we got diere, we thought we would consummate diings in a Laurent ian way in a forest by the beach," he recalls. "It was n<f pleasure, all pain. "We had hardly started when my wife was bitten by a hornet. She started swelling up, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't swallow. We got her to a cottage hospital, but she was so ill that she was transferred to die general hospital, where she was injected with adrenalin. "Then they said they would have to cut off her ring and I began laughing and saying they couldn't do that, we'd only just put it on. They wanted to treat me for hysteria. "And when we finally got back to our guesthouse we got very suspicious looks because niy wife had two black eyes as a result of her allergic reaction." Dr. Glen Wilson of the Institute of Psychiatry at the University of London says: "Most people are atU"acted by the idea of returning to nature. It is a big fantasy to make love among the poppies or on a l^each. "We have become overcivi- lized. We live in an environment where we are surrounded by unnatural things - concrete, big buildings. But we evolved to live around trees and we are attracted to anything natural." The risk of being discovered, he says, adds "a certain frisson" for some. Tlie lure of outdoor sex, coupled with the increasing difficulty of finding a suitable locale, means that many people over die past 40 years have compromised, and lost their virginity in the back seat of a car. But cars are now getting smaller, making that a less comfortable option. Stephen Pile's Book of Heroic Failures highlights the problem of sex in cars, in 1976 a middle- aged man slipped a disc while cavorting with his girlfriend in the back of a sports car parked in London's Regent Park. She, trapped beneath him, attracted attention by pressing her foot on die horn. S<x.n a doctor, fireman, ambulanceman and a sizable crowd had gathered. Unable to free the couple, die fireman ordered the back of the car to be cut off. V-! n-* «-'-»■ Shaking of CBoofcs A Book Review by Ken Lang International Tales of Art & Crime One way or another, art has an impact on the lives of the central characters in each of The Matisse Stories, three short narratives by A.S. Byatt (Chatto & Windus, 120 pages, $20). In "Medusa's Ankles," Susannah, a plump, middle-aged linguist experiences a wild mood swing when the hairdresser she trusts "with her disintegration" changes the color scheme and, consequently, the atmosphere in his shop. Significantly, he replaces a warm painting by Matisse with a colder, more sexually provocative photo, and the new decor helps to trigger the release of Susannah's pentup frustrations. In the final tale, an anorexic and suicidal student who is studying Matisse, accuses a "distinguished" visiting professor of sexual harassment, leaving the "dean of women students" to sort out Ihe mess. Byatt, who won the Booker Prize for Possession: A Romance, brings each of her stories to a satisfying and surprising conclusion, and displays her gift for writing vivid descriptive prose. The book is attractively packaged in a small format complete with artwork by Matisse. The cover reproduces three paintings while an appropriate line-drawing accompanies each of the stories. Legal Thriller In Richard North Patterson's Private Screening (Ballantine, $6.99), defense attorney Tony Lord is looking for a high profile case to establish his career. But when it comes, it's hardly ideal. Lord ends up defending a loser in a losing situation—the assassin of a presidential candidate who is videotaped committing the crime at a fund- raising event. Then, in a separate strand of the plot, an extremist kidnaps a man and a woman, threatening to execute them on live TV if his demands aren't met by their loved ones. In a clever twist, the response of the viewing public, acting as jury, will determine whether they live or die. Needless to say, this is one phone-in show that gets exceptional ratings. Private Screening builds to a gripping conclusion, but, overall, I can't quite give it the high marks I give Patterson's latest, Degree of Guilt, a courtroom drama about the murder in self-defense of America's most famous novelist by a nationally renowned TV anchorwoman. But in both books, Patterson's focus on the death and defense of celebrity figures amidst a barrage of media coverage is an issue that acquires a new degree of relevance in light of the O.J. Simpson case. Crime Fiction In A Philosophical Investigation by crime novelist Philip Kerr, the year is 2013, and the British have adopted a method of pinpointing and cataloging the .003 portion of the population who are most likely to commit violent crimes (Doubleday, $12.95). When a philosophically inclined computer whiz—codenamed Wittgenstein after the famous thinker—discovers he's potentially violent, he goes off the deep end, deciding to "execute" everyone posing a threat. Tracking the mad philosopher falls to Chief Inspector Isadora "Jake" Jacowicz, a man-hater whose favorite task is hunting the sexual sadists who brutalize women. Ironically, a female MP removes her from her current case to track down the man who is killing the men who are most likely to kill women. In its blend of police procedural, futuristic techno-thriller and diary of a serial killer, Philip Kerr's novel moves off the beaten path of most crime fiction and charts some unusual territory. It isn't light reading, but despite some sticky pages of philosophical speculation, the portrait of a serial killer seems fascinating enough and the story compelling enough to keep serious readers intrigued till the end. By the way, watch for a movie of this one. Happiness is what happens ■when you get too busy to be miserable.

MacLean, general manager. More than 186,000 calls were placed to BBBs nationwide in 1993 by callers requesting information on these questionable promotions. Despite BBBs' warnings, many consumers ancl small businesses continue to lose large, sums of money to fraudulent loan brokers. These so-called loan brokers advertise in tlie newspaper classifieds hoping to attract financially-vulnerable consumers or business owners with the promise of guaranteed, low- interest loans to consolidate or pay off debts. According to BBB files, consumers who have answered such ads have been told that their credit application could be taken over tlie phone and approved within a day..Not surprisingly, all applications were "approved" and consumers were asked to send upfront fees ranging from $25 to hundreds of dollars, supposedly to cover the first loan payment or for other expenses, j Consumers who have sent money to bogus loan brokers report that they never received the loan and never received a refund for the upfront fee. In the past several years, hundreds of fraudulent loan brokers have set up operations, collected their money, and closed shop. Some have re-opened their doors under different names, hoping to bilk .new borrowers while going after old victims for a second time. BBBs have heard from thousands of victims who have lost money (to smooth-talking salespeople) in advance fee loan scams. The sales pitch may include pressure, to make an immediate decision and a requirement to send money, or give out credit card or bank account numbers. Consumers should never give out any account numbers before checking out die reliability of the company with the BBB. Also, before signing for any loan, consumers should have a clear understanding of all the terms in the written agreement. While the sales pitch may sound believable, consumers and business owners should ask themselves why a lender, to whom they are unknown, could be more likely to provide money than local financial institutions. Borrowers should be wary of any ads or brokers charging advance fees for tlie mere promise of a loan. new cars from Freeway Chrysler. Daily draws for tlie cars will be made at the PNE Fair and broadcast live on radio station CKNW 98 at 4:15 p.m., August 21 through September 5, with two draws on the final day. All tickets including car winners will be entered in the grand prize draw for the Luxury Island Paradise package on September 5- "This year's prize home is a departure from previous homes offered at the fair," says Bernadine Plavcic, manager of attractions ancl exhibits. "We are excited at the prospect of offering fairgoers the opportunity to win not only a house but a complete prize package, situated on Keats Island."

(STEW) MclVOR Housing a "buyer's market" say realtors SURREY - The number of new listings on the Multiple Listing Service maintained the same level, while sales declined. The average price of a home also decreased slightly in July in response "This activity is consistent with that of the areas neighlxairing the Fraser Valley region," says Ruth Boulton,'president, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. "Part of the decline in sales can be attributed to the normal seasonal trend experi enced at this time of year." Other contributing factors could include fluctuating interest rates, a decline in housing starts (down 22% January-July/94) and a province-wide decline in in-nii- gration. Boulton notes that, "The market is remaining stable, with average price fluctuating about two per cent in each of the past two months. The wide-ranging selection of homes at affordable prices means that it's an ideal time to buy." One of Aldergrove's more infamous personalities celebrated his forty-fifth birthday Tuesday.

Oldtimers to get prime hockey ice time backf MLIRRAYvlLLE - Councilors here voted this week to "reinstate" a prime time slot at the Langley arena for an 'oldtimers' hockey team that has been playing every Wednesday night for die past 20 years.

He pointed out diat die 'oldtimers', who are between 35 and 60 years of age, have been playing the game since die public arena first opened, and that they never.have sought nor obtained a subsidy from the municipality. "We have always paid our own way," he said. Councilors agreed to let the seniors retain their scheduled time slot. The municipality should have let the team know what it had in mind and not just spring it on good customers, Coun. Steve Ferguson conceded. And although Mayor John Scholtens was opposed to the back track, councilors voted to let the team keep playing. At least for now.

All Rights Reserved Frustration over "secret deal" with natives fuels public awareness campaign VANCOUVER - A group of the largest conservation and recreational fish ing organizations, met August 16 with diree provincial deputy ministers (Environment, Lands & Parks, Aboriginal Affairs, and Tourism, Industry & Small Business) to implore the B.C. government to not proceed with die signing of an agreement that has been arbitrarily and secretly negotiated by die Harcourt government with the Council of Haida Nation in the Queen Charlotte Islands. The representatives were unanimous in denouncing the secret deal and die precedent it set for similar arrangements with odier aboriginal groups elsewhere in the province. Concerned organizations represented at the meeting were the Sport Fishing Advisory Board, the B.C. Wildlife Federation, the Sport Fishing Institute of B.C., the Council of Tourism Associations of B.C., the B.C. Fishing Resorts and Outfitters Association, the Queen Charlotte Islands Charter Boat Operators, the Steelhead Society of B.C. and the Fisheries Council of B.C, All were certain diat this agreement would set a dangerous precedent for the future of resource decisions diroughout the province and they deplore die singling out of one resource sector in an arbitrary and ill-conceived document. Recreational fishing is a 1.4-billion-dollar industry, providing over 16,000 jobs each year, and is die largest single contributor to tourism; the largest growth industry in B.C. today. Anger over the blatant lack of consultation leading up to diis agreement has come from many non-recreational fishing organizations that are also members of the Treaty Negotiations Advisory Committee. Organizations, including die Fisheries Council of B.C., the Business Council of B.C. and the Council of Forest Industries are angry over die lack of due process and the precedent setting nature of diis agreement. In a letter to Premier Harcourt, Mike Hunter, president of die Fisheries Council of B.C. who also attended die meeting, said, "Your officials promised to NAC that die province would not enter into any further Interim Measures Agreements widiout reference to TNAC. This undertaking has not been honoured." The TNAC members at die meeting were shocked when told by Aboriginal Affairs that it was "not at all realistic" that the B.C. government direct all Interim Measures Agreements dirough the TNAC process. This agreement was developed in secrecy in contravention to promises made by Harcourt's government. Les Jensen of the Queen Charlotte Charter Boat Operators and a member of the B.C. Sport Fishing Advisory Boards said, "We were told by senior government representatives • that absolutely no agreement would be negotiated without full consultation and diird party involvement and agreement. The people of my area are fed up - die word of this government is wordiless." Wayne Hading, chairman of the B.C.W.F. Saltwater Fisheries Committee, said: "What we saw today was nodiing but damage control disguised as consultation. We have seen nodiing but broken promises ancl our 35,000 members will not stand idly by and watch while their rights as British Columbians and Canadians are sold out through back room deals." Rich Chappie, president of die Sport Fishing Institute of B.C. said, "To date, more than 17 recreational fishing organizations have condemned the government's policy of cutting diis deal widi an aboriginal interest group in secret, without proper consultation and disguising it as part of a coastal land use planning process. I adamantly reject the statements made by die officials at the meeting diat a 'comprehensive consultation process' is in place and as far as consultation goes, diis is a sham." Dick McMaster, president of the B.C. Fishing Resorts and Outfitters Association, said, "This agreement portrays a government that will lie to its non-aboriginal "constituents. This particular issue, and what it implies, may well jeopardize die entire TNAC process." After leaving the meeting in complete frustration, the representatives saw no other choice but to proceed widi a campaign "which will alert die public to the insensitive and misguided course diat die government is on."

She's a beautiful young lady, with laughing brown eyes, sun streaked brown hair hanging past her shoulders, and a smile that eould light up any room. To look al her you'd think she was a normal, healthy 10-year- old. But she's not - she's very, very special. Courtney is one of "Jerry's Kids". She has Fredriehs Ataxia, a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. If you look closely you notice her little hands don't function quite right and she has to wear leg splints to L^v keep her feet from curling under. She can't walk and run like other kids, and she has to wear an uncomfortable body brace that covers most of her torso - front and back, for 23 hours every day. But, she keeps on smiling: She loves playing with dolls, coloring and swimming. She also loves cats (especially my cats) and horses. She's the kind of kid who gets under your skin and stays there - I know. I had the priviledge of meeting Courtney last year and we've been fast friends ever since. She lives wilh her father Hugh and brother Trevor and budgies Blue and Angel, in Langley. Courtney is fortunate in that her father is one of the rare "good guys". He not only has the responsibility of a full time job, and single parenting two kids, but he also has Courtney's handicap to deal wilh. The kids spend most weekends wilh their grandparents, Hugh and Hazel Paterson in White Rock, giving their Dad a much needed breather. mmmmm Courtney Paterson, of Langley, is heading to Toronto for the Labour Day Telethon for Muscular Dyst rophy. You can catch heron Y.T.V. September 4th and 5th. Courtney's biggest complaint with her father is he doesn't "do" hair". That's where I come in. The family is taking part in the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon in Toronto, Labour Day weekend - to be telecast on Y.T.V. Next weekend I'm giving Courtney a perm - let's hope for the best. I also have the priviledge ol" hearing Courtney's prayers most evenings, prayers thai are no different from any other kid's. She has the same hopes and dreams as her friends - friends who don't come around too often - why I'm not sure. Could be it's just too much for grown-ups to deal with. Courtney is going into Grade 5 at Alex Hope School and is looking forward to another year. Much of her work is done on a compulcr, but wilh the loving attention of teaching assistant Mamie Knott, Courtney manages. The Muscular Dystrophy Association has done a lot for Courtney, and she would like to thank all the association members and volunteers for their caring. And she also wants to thank you for your support. It's people like you who give what they can, that make things possible - things that otherwise just would not happen. Remember - The Muscular Dystrophy Labour Day Telethon, September 4th and 5th on Y.T.V., and give from the heart, for special kids like Courtney. Playland offers special Parents Days during PNE VANCOUVER - Playland's popular Parents Days program will be extended to run during the annual PNE Fair August 20 to September 5 - wilh a bit of a.twist. Each Monday and Tuesday during the 17 days of' the fair a parent purchasing a ride passport for a child can also purchase a ride passport for him or herself at half price. During the fair, a general ride passport is $24. and a limited ride passport (under 48" tall) is $21. MD Telethon moves to national network This labour Day weekend, for tlie first time ever, the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon will be broadcast on a national network YTV. More than 100,000 Canadians are affected by the 40 forms of Muscrular Dystrophy, which destroys nerve cells and weakens muscles, and rely on proceeds from the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada's annual telethon. Last year over $8.1 million was raised, with funds going directly towards research, education, client services, and other programs for affected families. Across tlie country there are 22. pledge centres and hundreds of volunteers will be called upon to answer tlie phones during the telethon, which will run from 8:00 p.m. Sunday September 4, for twenty-four hours. Forty minutes of each hour will be devoted to telling the MDAC story, and will include highlights from tlie national telethon in Las Vegas. Twenty minutes of each hour will contain local highlights. Hosting this year's telethon will be figure skating champion Kurt Browning, who will be joined by many television personalities including Dan Gallagher. Sponsors of tlie program include Kellogg Canada, Sears Canada, Air Miles, Cougar Shoes, Harley Davidson Canada and 7- eleven Food Stores. Sponsors participate diroughout tlie entire year in all kinds of ME)AC fundraisers and events. The B.C. production of the telethon will be pretaped at the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Museum in Richmond, and aired in segments diroughout the broadcast. Behind die teledion scenes are hundreds of people involved in the day to day operation of the association who never get the recognition they deserve. One of those people is Abbotsford resident Lisa Terpstra, who has been chosen to act as Campaign- Assistant for die third year in a row aldiough she is only 11 years old. In her position as MDAC Assistant Lisa will help out in raising public awareness of the disease and appear at several corporate presentations a'nd special events. The Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada was founded in 1954, and is celebrating its 40di anniversary diis year. It is a national organization that is committed to eliminating neuromuscular disease dirough research. The association also offers essential services to thousands of Canadians affected by die disease. It is thanks to them diat major breakdiroughs are being made in die fights against Lou Gehrig's Disease, Friedrich's Ataxia and all die other forms of muscular Dystrophy.

Government and Service Employees' Union has served strike notice on three Victoria area home support agencies. The union warned that the strike could escalate to include 12 other agencies throughout the province. "1 blame the provincial government for forcing this needless strike and inconvenience to clients and our members," said John Shields, president of the BCGEU. "This is not a strike against the societies that operate the services or the clients. It is a' strike against the government.

Biography will spell out Pope's 'failures LONDON - The first major biography of die Pope to appear for a dec-ade will present him as an embatded figure who has failed to impose his authority on a church he treats like a mediaeval fiefdom. John Paul II: a Biography, by Michael Walsh, a former Jesuit and one of Britain's most prominent Roman Cadiolic writers, is expected to provoke controversy when published this fall. Its portrait of die pontiff as a senii-faijure whose influence on world affairs has been overestimated is guaranteed to infuriate traditionalists. According to Walsh, John Paul II possesses one of die most brilliant minds of any pope and has written some outstanding encyclicals. But he has so far failed in many of die areas where he set out to succeed. A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Hands-on test for new idea When Langley was expecting its 75,000th resident, all eyes were on the maternity unit at LMH. What a «urprise when two babies showed up to mark the occasion! However, die next time everyone is watching die hospital's maternity unit. for another milestone birth, diat baby will arrive in very different surroundings than the . recent twins. "Families today want a welcoming, home-like environment when dieir babies are born, and that's what will be available once we build our new private, maternity rooms," explains Karim Nurmohamed, LMH's Director of Planning. In die old style maternity units, a modier was moved from area to area as she went dirough labour, delivery, recovery and afterwards. Now die idea is to have all pliases of care occur in one comfortable, welcoming room. The special design hides away most evidence of the hospital and its high-tech equipment when it's not in use, so the room's appearance is much more inviting. "Because this is a new <x>ncept in Canadian hospital, it was important to us that we did the job correcdy," explains Mr. Nurmohamed. "To ensure this, we've built a 'mock-up' of the new room in a spare area of the hospital's basement. This room comes complete with bathroom, and widi all die fittings and furnishings as they are planned for the final version." These spacious rooms also come widi a love-seat which converts into a hide-a-bed so Dad can rest without having to leave his family. Mr. Numiohanied goes on: "With this mock up room, we can show our staff and physicians a version of the real thing, and ask them whether they diink die room will work efficiently. It's so much easier than trying to explain with just drawings." At die same time, some families have been asked to visit the room and comment on its design so their ideas can also be taken into account. In addition, Ministry of Health staff and people from other hospitals now contemplating the same concept have an opportunity to view the design. The test room has already proved its value: certain plans for a built-in baby unit were rejected in favour of a portable baby warmer and special basinetfe. In addition, staff learned thai the bathroom door should be adapted with additional safety features. "We have saved ourselves quite a bit of expense ancl trouble by learning from this mock- up room - it's been well worth the effort," concludes Mr. Nurmohamed. Lifesaving carbon monoxide detector introduced here TORONTO - A new device which detects carbon monoxide in the home - the cause of thou - sands of injuries and deaths in Canada each year - has been introduced by First Alert, the nation's leading supplier of home safety and security products. "The carbon monoxide detector helps prevent needless tragedies," says Jim Hind, general manager of BRK Brands Canada, makers of First Alert products. "Many people die each year because of carbon monoxide gas in their home. You can't see or smell carbon monoxide, so there is no way to prevent injuries or death widiout a reliable detection device." Tlie detector looks very much like a smoke alarm. A unique, patented sensing technology mimics the human body's response to carbon monoxide poi - soiling, and is so accurate that it is able to detect levels of carbon monoxide in die blood as low as .01% (well below the 15% necessary for the average person to begin to. react to the effects of the gas)'^ii When carbon monoxide is detected in the air, the alarm sounds an decibel warning. People should evacuate the house and call tlie fire department for help. The breakthrough chemical- based sensing system virtually eliminates the possibility of false alarms. It is recommended that each residence be equipped with at least one carbon monoxide detector, located near the sleeping area. The detector is powered by a unique sensor module which includes a 9-volt battery and die sensing unit, which ensures protection even in die event of a power outage. It is easily installed on a wall or ceiling. The " First Alert Carbon Monoxide detector will be in stores nationwide this month. FIRST AID TIPS!

In the hose hoist, firefighters must pull a 50-pound plus roll of hose over a tower rail. Ontario team advances to American firefighting finals VANCOUVER - The first annual Canadian Firefighter Combat Challenge was held this weekend at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. A five-man team from Brampton, Ontario posted the fastest time, completing the course in an impressive.six minutes, 23 seconds. Second place went to the Surrey Fire Department wilh a time of seven minutes, 18 seconds. Another Surrey firehall team was close behind wilh a time of seven minutes, 24 seconds. The challenge is an intense five- part obstacle course which simulates tasks firefighters routinely perform in the line of duty. The extraordinary competition challenges the strength and physical fitness of the firefighters, many of whom performed at the level of elite athletes. The Ontario team will now represent Canada at the North American championships. The PNE hosts continuing daily combat challenges throughout the fair at the Coca Cola Exhibition Bowl.

ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, Last week I read in the daily paper about a couple back east who were being bodiered by crows eating their garden vegetables. They were trying to scare them off, die husband with a pellet gun and die wife with a slingshot. This made dieir neighbours mad and so the police were called in. I can sympathize with diese folk because many years ago when my late husband and I lived in Vancouver we also had a problem with a crow. Widi us diere was only one crow but it used to sit on our hydro pole late in die afternoon and caw and caw until it almost drove us mad. It also used to eat our grapes that my husband made wine out of in the fall. We put up widi this for almost a mondi then one day my husband went up to die badi- room window, opened it carefully and aimed our son's pellet gun at the crow. One shot was all it took, die crow gave one more great caw and fell sideways off the pole. Suddenly we heard screams and cries of horror coming from our neighbours next door who were just starting dieir supper at their picnic table in their back yard. The dead crow had landed smack-dab in the center of their table. We -quickly closed our window and die crow incident was never mentioned by \is or anyone else ever again. Aldiough several times when we were safely under the covers in our bed we had a great giggle over die whole affair. And, I might add, • we were never bothered by crows again but now I see diem flying in Aldergrove and I think of my husband with very pleasant memories of our criminal past. Just sign me: Reformed. Dear Reformed, ml Thanks for the letter. A very amusing story and I'm so glad you are reformed. Following die plot, you might try this recipe for crow pie if die urge to kill ever conies over you. again. Crow pie: First shoot five or so large crows. Then boil one cup of macaroni 10 minutes. While it is cooking, carefully defeather and gut die crows, remove head and feet. Fry long enough to tenderize and drain on paper towels. Grease a casserole and put a layer of cooked macaroni in it. Add 1/2 onion, sliced, and 1 medium can of tomatoes, add salt and pepper to taste. Add crows and cover widi remaining macaroni. Top with 1 cup cracker crumbs seasoned widi salt, pepper and butter. Bake at 375 about 20 minutes or until crows are well-done. Note: if it is difficult to get crows, a good substitute is 10 little pig sausages. (From the Encyclopedia of Country Living.)

PNE is much improved THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 24. 1994 By INGE LANGMANN VANCOUVER - If you have missed the PNE for the past two to diree years and weren't considering going diis year, because you diought - 'ah, well, its all die same', dien give it anodier diought, for diere have been great new additions and many diings have changed at die PNE. If you have kids diere are many attractions, and one of die new ones is "Kids Street", which is a collection of clowns, musicians, face painters and the Dairyland Petting Zoo. There is die Fantasy Travel Centre, The Science Lab and die Woodworking Shop. A stop at die Kids Street Theatre is a must. There are nine live performances daily from 11:00 am till 7:00 pm. including jugglers, magic shows and storytellers. The kids will naturally also want to spend time at Playland where die greatest new attraction, is die Corkscrew Coaster, but diere are IS new rides added to Playland diis year to make a total of 45 attractions. General Ride Passports can be purchased at a special price of $20.00 at lower mainlands 7-Eleven stores. Then diere are die 4-H displays in die Livestock Barns and the Agrodome which most kids ■won't 'want to miss. For the adults who no longer find thrills going on these heart stopping rides, a full day can be spent strolling the grounds, where 20 acres of pavement has been converted into green space, park like picnic areas. There is the Momiji Gardens, inaugurated last year to commemorate the Japanese internment during die second world w_fi", diere is die horticultural displays, 40 of diem, die "Garden in the Park" with Barbecued foods, lots and lots of entertainment. A 'must' is die featurejravilion "Sharing Traditions" in the old Forum. This is a very impressive exhibit, one the PNE can be proud of, it has shades of sophistication from Expo 86. This pavilion will pay tribute to the culture and heritage of die aboriginal people of die Commonwealdi. Here you can enjoy the arts, crafts, music, food and dance native to each of the five Commonwealth regions. First you enter into tlie Commonwealth Market place alive widi die color, sights and sounds of a traditional town marketplace. You can shop for international crafts and watch die entertainment. Having had enough of the busding activities in die Marketplace, you can venture fur- dier into die pavilion and enter die Longhouse area. A Northwest Coast Longhouse dominates die scene, here you can sit down by the central fire pit and enjoy dieatre performances, storytelling, craft demonstrations, songs and films.. The atmosphere in diis part of die pavilion is quiet and tranquil, you get die sense of a westcoast shoreline with seagoing native canoes, totem poles watching majestically while you learn about die podatch tradition. The diird part of diis pavilion is the "World Stage" set in a traditional Aboriginal ceremonial lodge widi live performances on the stage from any one of the five Commonwealdi cultures. On a plateau overlooking die stage you can relax and enjoy mouthwatering cuisine from around the world in die fully licensed "Lodgepole Restaurant", including Vegetarian Samosas from Asia, Grilled B.C. Salmon, Grilled Lamb Sirloin in Mint Demi Glace and Kiwi Pavlova from Oceania and stuffed Chicken Breasts ancT Banana topped with Coconut Cream and Grapes. In addition to enjoying die food you will have a first class view of die entertainment on die stage. For diose who don't want to eat, there is excellent seating in die bleachers surrounding die stage. Back out in the sunshine again, a stroll dirough die horticultural display to die Coca Cola Exhibition Bowl to take in a new display at die fair. We have come to rely on and in many cases taking for granted our Firefighters, and perhaps many of us do not realize the physical fitness demanded of these men and women. But when you take in die Canadian Firefighters Combat Challenge happening here, you will realize that running up die stairs to fifth floor in full gear, carrying a fifty pound hose, and upon amval hoist up another hose, weighing more dian 50 pounds, walk down again, (running on a fire- site is not allowed) using a nine pound mallet to drive a 165 lb. beam five feet, to simulate a forced entry; and after diat walk 140 ft, advance a charged hose 75 ft and walk anodier 30 feet to drag a 175 lb. 'victim' a distance of 100 ft., is not just anybody's cup of tea. This intensive event involves all the tasks firefighters routinely perform in die line of duty. The acceptable time diese tasks are performed in is 7 minutes, but most of diem will complete in 2 - 3 minutes. There will be teams Meet Bert, the PNE Mascot. participating from the lower mainland, Vancouver, the Island, and from as far away as Brampton Ontario and Kings County, Seatde. Tlie team from Abbotsford includes a woman. If you have a strong stomach and heart, you might just want to make a detour to die Playland area and take in the newest and most spectacular ride featured diis year. The "Ejection Seat'. This can best be described as inverted bungee jumping, and is not for die weak at heart. After being send 150 ft. up in die air, you experience 4 G's while you are being turned around going up and down. Those who tried it said it was a lot of fun and what a rush! I can imagine.... Now it is time to take in die fair competitions, all diose jams and jellies, baked goods and handiwork. All that will be found in the B.C. Pavilion, very tastefully displayed grouped in color schemes and categories.

In search of... the male bimbo By MIKE SWEENEY GREENWICH - Now that Paula Jones has filed her lawsuit accusing Bill Clinton of sexual harassment, America once again is tossing around the word 'bimbo', using it to describe Jones in a pejorative way, usually in defense of the president. I can't imagine anyone hasn't heard about the case. Jones contends that when Clinton was Arkansas governor and she was on the state payroll, she was brought to meet him in a hotel room, where he dropped his pants and propositioned her. Jones said she refused and left, but that hasn't kept people from referring to her as a bimbo, though some people who say they knew her as a 'party girl' might think the term is apt. So the word bimbo is back, just as it was used to describe Tonya Harding, Gennifer Flowers, or Donna Rice (remember Gary Hart and the good ship 'Monkey Business'?) For a country that is being accused more and more of embracing attitudes that are politically correct, this kind of linguistic behavior strikes me as a serious lapse, and one that isn't positive. It seems that the nation has come to accept the term bimbo- without considering the connotations it has. Perhaps it's best to define exactly what a bimbo is. Webster's New World Dictionary lists three slang definitions, of which the third is most pertinent to the current usage: "a sexually promiscuous woman." Tlie second definition - "a silly or stupid person; used especially of a woman" - often seems to be implicit when people speak of bimbos, too. After talking with people about what diey consider tlie essence of, well, call it bimbosity, I think you also need to add that the popular notion of a bimbo involves someone who dresses provocatively, usually in tight, revealing clothing. Nowadays, I can't think of anyone who uses the first definition, deemed old slang by the dictionary: "a guy, fellow." In fact, lhe whole notion of a bimbo seems to be quite gender-specific. There seems to be no male equivalent. Would you, for example, think of Joey Buttafuoco as a male bimbo? How about Fabio? See what I mean? Sure, men have been called hunks, but diat terms seems pretty passive when compared lo what we mean when we refer to a woman as a bimbo. Think for a moment of the TV commercial that portrays women leering at a bare-chested construction worker. The guy, I'm told, is a hunk. But he's not dealing in sexuality; he's just taken off his shirt because he's perspiring. On the other hand, do you think the women doing the leering are bimbos? Maybe yes, maybe no, right? Then there is the tenn "stud", which certainly carries a sexual connotation. Yet it isn't the .same kind of pejorative that bimbo is. I can't imagine any women considering bimbo a positive description, but there are plenty of men who would welcome being called a stud. And we better forget about thee word womanizer, wliich has such an elite connotation to it to almost picture someone in a pin-striped suit and wing-tips. Think of it this way: JFK was a womanizer; Judith Exner was a bimbo. Note the difference. All of which makes me wonder exacdy how far we have come toward gender equality. The word bimbo reinforces the stereotype of a woman using sexuality to promote herself. That there is no equivalent male term is significant, but not as important as the fact diat we seem willing to use the 'word bimlx> uncjuestioning- ly. Women use it, too, including some women who pride themselves on promoting feminist equality. That is perhaps the ultimate irony, for it pretty effectively undercuts the notion of women being held to the same standards as men, and vice versa. Some of the newer feminist writers surely would criticize the notion of women ever being bimbos. Among diis group, dubbed the "do-nie feminists" by Esquire magazine, are those who believe women finally are acting sexually demanding in much the same way men traditionally have. They would find the notion of sexually promiscuous behavior to be just fine, without any of the negative connotations lhat Ihe word bimbo would conjure up. But society seems ill at ease with the idea of a woman who leers at men, dresses to enhance her sexuality, or even enjoys the pleasures of die flesh. Hence tlie continued use of the word bimbo, in a way that can only be considered demeaning, not only to the woman being labelled, but to women in general. Thinking about it diat way, we can be certain the double standard is alive and well, despite all the efforts by women - and men - lo try to level the playing field for both genders. What is perhaps surprising, however, is the rancor Jones has stirred through her lawsuit. People across a broad spectrum have come to Clinton's defense. Even Gennifer Flowers, who claims to have had a longtime' affair widi Clinton, says Jones' story doesn't ring true. Based on that, Jones mighi be the only person I can think of who could be accused of giving bimbos a bad name.

Cancer Society or die burn unit at Vancouver General Hospital. Get your home bulletproofed NEW YORK - Bulletproof ing for houses is being offered by a firm in San Antonio, Texas, where 19 people were killed in 1,262 drive-by shootings last year. Several of the incidents involved shots penetrating walls of homes. Homeowners were also hit by stray shots fired at their balconies and across gardens. Scott Shaheen, owner of Bullet Resistant Systems Ltd., said Uiat a complete shield for a home would cost up to US $7,000. He fortifies doors, walls and ceilings widi a bullet stopping fibreglass material that is half an inch thick. Panels can be put on windows. He also offers advice on how to remain out of die line of fire. But Shaheen warned Uiat full protection was all but impossible. "These walls will not stop everydiing, such as an AK-47 full metal-jacket armor piercing round." SWAT teams are equipped with special vests to ward off such rounds, the price of each being about $2,000. "It is totally ridiculous that anybody should have to reinforce Uieir home," said Shaheen. "But a lot of people out there are scared for Uieir lives." ALDERGROVE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION ALDERGROVE FALL FAIR SURVEY Have you ever attended Aldergrove Fall Fair?
