ALDERGROVE - The township's application to remove about 500 acres from the Agricultural Land Reserve will be ready for the land commission's consideration in September, according to township administrator Jim Godfrey. Mayor John Scholtens told The Star, Monday, that a proposed alignment of a Fraser Highway bypass on the north side of the town is likely to remain on the application, even though diis is an issue that brought out the greatest opposition at a public hearing earlier this summer. However, he said the precise alignment is "not written in stone" as "diere is a lot of room in the application to move it further south." Scholtens said a meeting with his council and Abbotsford's council last week was "very productive and friendly" on the main topic of Aldergrove's growth and the bypass. He said Abbotsford's mayor and council did not want to interfere or issue any ultimatums on the planning exercise but rather wanted to be kept abreast of what Langley had in mind for Aldergrove. Coun. Muriel Arnason expressed concern about some proposals from the public to force all commercial trucks to use 16 Avenue around Aldergrove. "Are we serious?" asked Arnason, in questioning a proposal to submit Cattle drive next in suburbia? By KURT LANGMANN WALNUT GROVE - For close to three hours more than 80 people told council why a Save-On- Foods mall should or should not be built in this northwest Langley community, but the choicest comments had to be concerns about the impact it would have on Walnut Grove's "rural atmosphere." That conjured up images of Ronald MacDonald driving a herd of Shorthorns from the Park & Ride to the better grazing lands down Walnut Grove Drive. Gul- darn, them city folks tell a fine joke, but at three hours long and with 80 talkers, they're a mite too longwinded for my limited attention span. Council chose to hold the public hearing at Walnut Grove Secondary's gym, Monday, because of the controversy the proposal raised in the now 17,000 strong population concentrated in an area that many local oldtimers used to use as 4x4 and MX "boonie-bash- ing" country. The air in the gym was hot and stagnant, causing many to flee outside for fresh air, and only a handful remained in the stands for the regular meeting that followed the filibuster at 10 p.m. To their credit, most of the 80 residents kept their comments brief and the vast majority simply said they were in favour of another food store which they could walk to, nestled among several townhomes in the 21000-block of 88 Avenue. These homes arc primarily occupied by "empty nesters" - senior citizens and retirees, and some of Uiem pointed out that they no longer drive a car and had difficulty getting-into Langley city for their groceries. However, several made lengthy presentations regarding the 2.04 acre lot. Proponents' spokesman, Pete Dyker of Ticor Construction, spoke for the best part of an hour, ciUng a long and expensive list of consultants' opinions. Resident opponent, Janice O'Malley responded with a Ions list of grievances about the Please see page 17... Inthavong deportation appealed VANCOUVER - Another technical glitch is stopping convicted criminal Bounjan Aai Inthavong from being deported to his native country of Laos. Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi declared Inthavong a danger to the Canadian public on April 3 and ordered him deported, despite a ruling by the convention refugee determination division last November that Inthavong could be considered a convention refugee. Inthavong's lawyer, Chris Elgin, questioned whether the process used to deport Inthavong was fair. He has filed for a stay of the deportation order so he can appeal the case in Federal Appeal Court. Elgin said that a person who is a danger to die public is not eligible to make a refugee claim, and told the court last Monday that Marchi failed to apply for a judicial review of the decision to grant Inthavong refugee status. Federal Court Judge Francis Muldoon reserved his decision Monday, keeping Inthavong in Canada, according to departnient of jusdee lawyer KaUiy Ring. She did say however that, just because Inthavong has been granted convention refugee status, it does not mean he cannot be deported if he is judged to be a danger to the public. According to her, refugee status carries with it the obligation to obey Canadian laws. This is a precedent setting case because it is the first time the Laotian Government has agreed to issue travel documents to a person not holding, a valid Laotian passport. Inthavong and two others back east were to be the first persons deported from Canada to Laos. Inthavong was found guilty of aggravated assault in the shooting death of Abbotsford Resident Kirby Martin in 1990 and sentenced to five years in jail. He remains in custody after an immigration review panel agreed he is a danger to the public and not likely to show for die deportation. FREEiCLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE the ALR exclusion application without a bypass and prohibit all truck use of Fraser Highway. "People are just expressing their frustration with the gravel trucks," said Scholtens. "They're not aware that it's a provincial highway and the municipality cannot control it." He added that council is aware of the fact that 16 Avenue is in the heart of genuine fanning enterprises in the township and that any increase of truck traffic there would bring out a horde of protests by irate residents and farmers. Gravel trucks from the pits in south Abbotsford-Lan- gley have long been encouraged to use 16 Avenue and 264 Street as the designated truck route, and are prohibited from using 272 Street north of 16 Avenue, however, on the Abbotsford side many truckers use Lefeuvre Road to access Fraser Highway. "The last thing we need is anodier freeway tiirough the farming community," said Scholtens. While the comment was directed at provincial proposals for a new Fraser River crossing and highway connector, Scholtens said the sentiment applied equally to the south side of the township.

The suspect, located by police on 203 Street, was acting irrational and became combative widi the officer, who attempted to subdue him by discharging pepper spray. The spray had no effect in the man who ran off with the officer in pursuit. The officer caught up to him in the 20200 block of 66 Avenue, where the man again became combative. During Uiis time a civilian lent assistance to the officer by getting his baton from the police cruiser and giving it to die officer. Both the officer and civilian struggled with the man, and the baton was dropped and picked up by the suspect, who used it to strike the civilian and the officer. The officer drew out his service revolver, but the man remained combative and came at the officer and civilian swinging the baton. The officer discharged the weapon once, striking the suspect in the lower chest. He was transported to Langley memorial Hospital, then to Royal Columbian for surgery.

JULY 26.1995 ALDERGROVE - A proposed new office building was denied third reading Monday, after coun. Heather McMullan moved that the concern of a neighbour regarding saving trees on the lot be looked into first. The tree issue was first brought up by the neighbour at the public hearing, July 10, for the two-storey building at 26641 Fraser Highway. The property has long been zoned C-3 commercial, but applicant Dan Flokstra wishes to "down-zone" to limited commercial C-14 for professional office use. Flokstra has applied to landscape the front with red maple and red oak, as well as shrubs at the* front and rear. Access will be from the front as well as the rear, lane. Township planners have endorsed the proposal for a two- storey office with 4,052 square feet on each floor, as it fits with the community plan intent of discouraging retail commercial outside the town's core, especially the current C-3 zoning's "wide variety of automobile related uses." C-14 zoning "will result in a development more compatible with existing adjacent uses." Coun. Mel Kositsky said he couldn't go along with the deferral "just on the tree issue" but was overruled by the majority. Town- "Only Ken offers FREE market evaluation and a FREE moving truck to his customers." Talk to Ken! Timber mkk^^A |KENBARRELI *" M 857-1996 7101 Home St., Mission ship staff have been instructed to look into retaining "some buffering" through keeping the trees on the lot or moving them onto the neighbour's, property. On a similar matter, council with the exception of Steve Ferguson, and Muriel A mason, gave final reading to tlie Shantz bylaw, creating 20 new lots in Murrayville at 21985 Fraser Highway. Access will be through a looping of the 219 and 219A Street cul- de-sacs. The property had long been zoned for the use in the community plan, but residents of the cul-de-sacs had argued against development of the property and the connection of the two cul-de- sacs. New tax cause of big price tag jump LANGLEY - A provincial bill that passed last month, charging a new school tax levy on new housing developments, will add $10,000 or more to the price of new homes. Township council unanimously voted at their Monday meeting to send a letter of protest against Bill 43 to the government The LIrban Development Institute calculated that, depending on the value of the land, developers will pass along to buyers the $10,000 levy on a $200,000 lot, which translates into another 18 months of mortgage payments. The reality is it would increase the required downpayment by $3,200 and the monthly payments by more than $100. "Additionally, the problem, with this system is that people will be paying upfront but the new schools may not be built until many years later," said institute president Eric Martin. 'There are more cost-effective ways to pay for schools." "Good point," said mayor John Scholtens. "The province used to pay for school sites acquisition from general revenues." Coun. Steve Ferguson concurred, pointing out that the province "always said no to our proposal to fund new parks this way, now they cash in themselves." Township drivers show excellent record LANGLEY - On July 21, Mayor Scholtens and Township superintendent of equipment and buildings, Bill Hughes, were presented with a cheque in the amount of $48,389 from Tia Hughes, fleet marketing representative of ICBC. Also on hand for the presentation was Guy Krems of the Township's insurance agent of Willis Corroon Mclling. The $48389 cheque represented the maximum available adjustment on the Township's 1994 fleet insurance premium and "reflects the Township's excellent claims record." ICBC's program provides up to 25% rebates of premiums based on annual claims. "The operators and drivers of municipal vehicles are to be commended for their diligence and safe driving habits", Scholtens said. 'They should be very proud, as are we, that this cost-saving is a direct result of the Township's long standing good driving record." In addition to the premium rebate, the Township is also eligible for the maximum safe driver discount, which will be increased in 1996 and will result in a further reduction in premiums.

More than 400 inmates will be shackled in leg irons and made to work on highways. Will this measure decrease crime? Or is it an inhumane, barbarous and unchristian act? Some people may argue I should confine my writing to peptic ulcers and other medical topics. But when my patients are being physically affected by a variety of outrageous societal crimes, surely doctors must also make violent crime a medical issue. I sec patients developing an unhealthy siege mentality. They're afraid to reside alone. Or walk the streets at night. Stresses of this kind trigger mental and physical problems. Ron Jones, Alabama's prison commissioner, says prison life should he tough and visible - chain gangs will make people think twice about committing a crime. But Alvin Bronstein of the American Civil Liberties .Union says, "We have never been able to achieve deterrence with the threat of punishment. Who is right? Sorry, Mr. Bron- stein, but I've got to agree with Aristotle. He remarked 2,000 years ago that, "Punishment is a form of medicine." Too many people have neglected his sage advice. Anyone who doubts that punishment works should visit Singapore. In the 1970s this tiny nation faced a serious problem. Heroin use was spreading to young people and Prime Minister Lcc Kuan Yew decided to nip the trend in the bud. The death penalty was introduced for major dnig traffickers. And other offences were punishable by 'caning*. Tony Poh, previously director of Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau, told me criminals learned the message quickly for two reasons. They knew the law was harsh and soon realized the police meant to carry it out. Moreover, criminals soon discovered you never, never forget a 'rattan caning' . That's when I wrote about Singapore's "five-percent solution" which ended revolving door justice. Only five percent of criminals are charged with repeat offences following caning. ***> o The result is that Singapore hasn't increased the size of its police force for 27 years. And there hasn't been a bank robbery in Singapore for years. In 1991, there was only one armed robbery. Aristotle isn't the only one who believed that punishment is sound medicine. John Chrysostom wrote that "When the bad are punished others become better." And when Islamic law demands the loss of a hand for theft, it's a proven fact that fewer people steal. Dr. Lucille Carr-Kaffashan, a psychologist at the University of Medicine and dentistry of New Jersey says, "Crime disrupts an individual's life far beyond that associated with daily stress." She adds, "Crime removes a person's trust, personal security, and victims feel overwhelming helplessness and isolation." Carr-Kaffashan claims that "victims experience three stages after a crime. Initially (hey arc outraged for several days and think, 'This can't be happening to mc'. They swing between moments of disbelief and fear, alternating with consternation and bewilderment." Patients with hypertension, a peptic ulcer or psychological problems may suffer exacerbation ol' their symptoms. In the second stage victims begin to ask, "Why did this happen to mc?" and often relive the crime over and over again. Psy-' chologically they blame themselves for being so stupid to allow themselves to be victimized. Ilie extent of the second stage depends on the severity of the crime. Having a purse snatched is one thing. But being raped trig- gen the greatest internal stress. These victims often have overwhelming fantasies of revenge. Personal relationships deteriorate and they tend to withdraw from a hostile society. In (lie find stage victims try to get on with the routine of daily life. But victims of severe crimes suffer from "post-traumatic stress disorder" which shares the symptoms veterans of the Vietnam war suffered. They may suffer for many years from insomnia, nightmares and increased use of alcohol and drugs. I predict that the sight of men in shackles will have a profound effect on would-be criminals. So will Mississippi's plans to dress inmates in old-fashioned striped uniforms. Napoleon Bonaparte, brooding in exile on the island of St.Hele- na, remarked that, "The more religious a country the more crime is committed in it." Turning the other cheek doesn' t work. But we should blame feeble laws rather than religion. I suspect patients will continue to suffer the emotional aftermath of crime until current lax laws are replaced with a sterner form of justice. It's interesting that Ron Jones reports "I don't get much flack in Alabama." What do readers think? n LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Beautiful B.C. doesn't apply here Editor, The Star, Sir, I have been a resident of Aldergrove for the past five years. I feel that Aldergrove could be a much more desirable place to live if all residents took an interest in this community. We should all be ashamed of the litter and debris that covers the streets and parks of our community. If I was a business owner I would be embarrassed by the garbage and cigarette butts that litter the store fronts. How long does it take to pick up a broom and sweep the front of your store once a day? We have some nice parks here, but the garbage that is spread from one end of it to another is disgusting and certainly doesn't encourage people to use them. Why can't people in Aldergrove clean up after themselves? When I visit Langley I see municipal workers cleaning the streets. I don't think I have ever seen any workers keeping Aldergrove clean, why is this? City has no money Editor, The Star, Sir, We have lived in Langley for the past 24 years and have heard many, many excuses for the official delay in building a cultural centre. In spite of the dedication of many citizens over the past 25 years, uninformed delegations still appear before council from time to time to further set back the project This happened on July 10. Re: School Theatres: Anyone affiliated with a secondary school will admit that school theatres are Challenging gag law VANCOUVER - The National Citizens' Coalition is supporting a challenge to the constitutionality of the BC government's election gag law which was launched July 17. The court challenge is being mounted by Robert Foret, a BC voter and accountant and a member of the NCC s national advisory council. The gag law consists of several amendments to the BC Election Act, which passed third reading in the Legislature, July 12, and received Royal Assent the next day. "I'm seeking to strike down this draconian gag law because I share a belief in more freedom through less government with the NCC," Foret told a news conference outside the BC Supreme Court after filing his statement of claim. "This gag law represents less freedom and more government It has no place in a free and democratic country." Foret and the NCC have retained prominent Vancouver lawyer John McAlpine, Q.C., of McAlpine & Associates, to argue the case. The gag law threatens citizens with fines and imprisonment of up to one year for spending more than $5,000, individually or as a group, to support or oppose directly or indirectly parties or candidates during provincial elections. Restrictions also apply during leadership contests of political parties, and petitions and votes for both recall and initiatives. The gag law also imposes restrictions on the reporting of polls by the media., Foret and the NCC believe that all these measures violate the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of speech and association and the right to an informed vote. NCC president David Somerville noted that the NCC had been successful in defeating similar election gag laws passed by the Trudeau Liberals in 1983 and the Mulroney Tories in 1993. Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invito letters to the editor on topics of interest to tlie community. The let- tei"s-to-tlie-editor column is a chance for comment on what has been said in tlie paper. It is our readers' opportunity to respond to what newsmakers of tlie area have been saying, 'we especially encourage readers to write on topics of local interest, in almost constant use by the students. This will also be true of the theatre at the Langley Fine Arts School. There is a rare occasion when the theatre would be available to the public. Re: City Theatre: Mayor Grinnell has gone on record stating the city does not have funds available for a theatre in the City. Re: Township Theatre: The Township has land available and a motion on record stating that council will build a cultural centre, which will include a theatre. The first phase is to be a very much needed music school. For an Active Living project last fall, On Stage Langley chose to use headlines from the past and the present The headlines always start very positive: "Theatre building close to reality" (1976), "City supports cultural centre in Murrayville" (1987), "Culture centre backed by both councils" (1993). The final headlines always show the project in disarray. Our. family has always been involved in sports and have enjoyed the sports facilities available. Now is past the time to have a comparable venue necessary to encourage the wealth of artistic talent in Langley. From the dancers and musicians who must travel to other areas of the Fraser Valley to perform, the visual artists who need somewhere to exhibit and to the 700 plus students of the Langley Community Music School who want a reasonable space, odier than the kitchen or the restrooms, to learn. Council is aware of the advantages of keeping all the components in one location. I urge council not to delay any longer. I am confident that you will show leadership and start the first phase now. S.S. ANDERSON, Langley. Beautiful British Columbia; that certainly doesn't apply here, but it could if we all pitch in. GERI LANGEREIS Aldergrove Tax system under attack OTTAWA - Canada's punitive tax regime has turned the country into a "nation of cheaters" who exploit loopholes and income deductions to duck the tax man, Calgary Reform MP Jim Silye says. Silye has launched a campaign to get the business community behind a Reform plan to replace the complex federal income tax system with a "flat tax" that would tax everyone - including corporations - at a single but lower rate. Silye, Preston Manning's new revenue critic in the Reform Party caucus, says the current tax system is hurting the economy. 'The purpose of the flat tax is to introduce fairness, simplicity and visibility into the taxation system," he says. Silye says die marginal tax rate has reached die point where high income earners - people earning more than $55,000 annually - turn almost half their income over to government treasuries. "That becomes a negative," warns Silye, a self-made millionaire. "It becomes prohibitive and basically the people who are the more successful people tend to look for ways to avoid paying tax. That increases your activity in the underground economy. It makes everybody a nation of cheaters." Under Silye's proposal, which he began hammering out when he chaired a Reform committee On taxation and expenditures in 1990, the government would levy an income tax of about 20 percent on everyone. Corporations, now taxed at about half that rate, would also have to fork out at the new level. But they would get straight tax deductions from dividend payments and capital expenditures. As well, low income Canadians would be spared by hiking the . basic personal exemption to $12,000, with an additional $6,000 deduction for a spouse and $5,000 deductions for children under eight and $3,000 deductions for children aged eight to 14. That means a married person earning as much as $28,000 with two children could end up paying no federal, income tax. - 'Provided we.stock irnmnn ;$p*!§ THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JULY 26,1995 VOODOO DISCOUNTTICKETSi AVAILABLE HERE ONLY! 2 ADULT OR 1 ADULT, 1 YOUTH ® 2 ADULT, 2 YOUTH OR 1 ADULT, 3 YOUTH SAVE-ON-FOODS Professional Quality Prints 59 minute service or you don't pay!

This tournament was unique in the joining of B.C. Minor Baseball and Little League. North Langley scored two runs in the first inning and Aldergrove brought home a single in the second. From then on, excellent-pitching and alert fielding by both teams put a halt to any further scoring chances. North Langley managed to get their third out at the bottom of the seventh, leaving Aldergrove's tieing run standing on third base. The Teams: North Langley Little League - Jamie Hull, Deylan Mcintosh, Kris Meakin, Neall Hanlon, Tyler Renwick, Brad Way, Jason Hotell, Jeff May, Rob Jones-Cook, Chris Thomas and coaches Al May, Rick Massey, Robin Mcintosh and Dale Hotell.

Openly .and Fairly The B.C. government is currently negotiating treaties with aboriginal people to settle land claims that have been unresolved for more than 100 years. Fair and lasting treaties will create a more stable economy and many opportunities which will benefit all British Columbians. Ultimately, the amount of land provided as part of settlements will be in proportion to the aboriginal population...about 5% of the land in the province. Private property is not on the table, and any direct costs in settling claims will be shared by all Canadians. 'u <*A ^' Fair, affordable, long-term solutions for all British Columbians.

Forget any negative reviews you may have gan- dered at and stop here for the real scoop. With flawless delivery, enjoyable performances and lines like "Anything happens to my daughter, I've got a :45 and a shovel. I doubt anybody will miss you", Clueless has got the summer comedy action covered. Let us face facts, Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies that cause you to piddle your pants with laughter. The majority of the latest proffered fare is a big yawn. When asked what's a good comedy, my first response is 1968-Peter Sellers-The Party and my second is 1979-George Hamilton/Susan SlJames-Love at First Bite. My mind simply shuts off if anyone wants to know about something newer. On the rare occasions that I stumble upon a movie that comes equipped with an intelligently humorous script, well developed characters and is a pleasant combo of reality and fantasy, I want to let everyone know. Hats off to Clueless. As queen of this romantic comedy, Alicia Silverstone (The Crush, Hideaway, Aerosmith video chick) is divine; totally believable and totally different from her debut in the Vancouver- filmed disaster, The Crush (1993). Living in Beverly Hills, Cher (Silverstone) is rich, beautiful and surprisingly smart and caring. She has been raised by her fatiier, who makes $500 an hour as a litigator. Her mother died after a routine liposuction, but Cher, who is strong, is over that tragedy in her life and is moving on. Now she has devoted part of her life to bettering the world by helping others to expand their style quotient. And if she thinks it will help her G.P.A., she'll find a way to make a love connection between two of her teachers. School-time is reserved for breaking in her purple clogs and pointing out the parallels between making room for unexpected guests at a dinner party and Haitian/American relations. After school is reserved for shopping and performing critically needed make-overs. There comes a point, however, when she realizes that it's not all fun and games doing her Chuck Woolcry impression. With Jewel crooning her version of the Eric Carmen song "All By Myself", Cher decides that her desires are as rel- CINEPLEX ODEON CINEMA GUIDE CLEARBROOK CINEMAS 3.500 SOUIH FRASER WAV • 8S0 .233-.- BRAVEHEART Nightly 8:00.

Reaching $10.5-million, Clueless was the second highest grossing movie of the weekend, sitting comfortably between Apollo 13 (which continues to dominate) and Nine Months (which can't get higher than #3). The Indian in the Cupboard is a moderately entertaining family film which tells the story of a young boy who lives in a loving home widi both parents and two brothers. His mom (Lindsay Crouse, Being Human 1994) walks him to and from school, and at night his dad sneaks in to pull up his covers and give him a kiss. Omri (Hal Scardino) needs braces, the door left open when he's sleeping and three calls from his mom to get ready for school. For his birthday he gets a skateboard and helmet, an action figure and a beautiful wooden cupboard that his brodier found and cleaned up. His best friend Patrick (Rishi Bhat) presents him with a dny posed Indian figurine and his mom gives him a key to lock up his new cupboard. The Indian figurine becomes the first occupant of the cupboard. To Omri's delighted surprise his figurine is magically replaced by a real live, talking, building Iroquois Indian named Little Bear (Litefoot). This movie could have been a long display of special effects but instead it is a story that teaches about responsibility and respect for others. As young Omri informs his friend, "You can't use people." This is a message worth repeating. Two-dimensional show at gallery SURREY - As part of a summer series of shows featuring local artists, the Surrey Art Gallery will exhibit works by members of the White Rock and South Surrey Art Club until September 17. Forty-nine works by twenty-six different artists will be presented. All the works in this exhibition are two-dimensional, yet represent a diversity of subjects and styles. There are landscapes, figures, still life, and seascapes - ranging from quiet statements in pencil, to vibrant expressions in oil paint. The gallery is at 13750-88 Avenue, call 596-7461. Rosalind Keene is a singer with few peers, and she brought old friend, guitarist Henry Young and his quartet along to Mission Folk Festival last weekend to show locals some of the hottest jazz and smoothest pop you can find. Even if you don't recognize their names, you've heard them: Keene has recorded and toured with Bryan Adams, Abba and Kenny Rogers, while Young has been getting praise from the likes of Wes Montgomery and Miles Davis since his early days with Nina Simone's band in the '60s. Keene, who also led a gospel workshop on Sunday, is now an Abbotsford resident and we look forward to hearing more of her locally - please! -Kurt Langmann photo Cinemazoo at the library LANGLEY - The Langley and Walnut Grove branches of the Fraser VaUey Regional Library present Cinemazoo, a Flights of Fantasy Summer Reading Club event, as follows: •Langley Centennial Branch, 20355 Douglas Crescent, 534- 3284, Saturday, July 29, 10:30 am to 11:30 am. •Walnut Grove Branch, Northwest Langley Community Centre, 8889 Walnut Grove Drive, 882- 0410, Saturday, July 29, 1 pm to 2 pm.

Their music is a combination of catchy original tunes and traditional favourites. The infectious high spirits of the LadyBugs are sure to keep kids out of their seats. "Gobi", the plush six-foot baby dinosaur from the Dinosaur World Tour, will also be in attendance on Saturday. The entire family will enjoy these midsummer performances. Note that the Vancouver Portuguese Band, scheduled for Sunday, August 6, has been cancelled. Visiting Aldergrove in the Fraser Valley can be a very exciting experience. Aldergrove is in the hub of a lot of activities and the most spectacular scenery. Some of the very early historic places are within easy reach from this location, and day-trips are easily made from here. Here are a few suggestions for family outings, both by car and bicycle. Harrison Lake and Hot Springs: This is a wonderful family day-trip with the picnic basket in the trunk. Cross the bridge at Mission and follow the signs on Hwy.7, which takes you through another part of the Fraser Valley right to Harrison Lake. The hot springs were revered as a "healing place" by natives of the Coast Salish people who travelled by canoe to benefit from their waters. In 1858 a gold miner fell from his canoe into the seemingly frigid lake water and astonished his companions by exclaiming that the water was warm! Thus the white man had "discovered" the hot springs. The water rights to the hot mineral water supply are held by tlie Harrison Hot Springs Hotel, which has indoor mineral pools for the use of the hotels guests 24 hours a day. Visitors who drive up for the day or stay in other accommodations, may enjoy the mineral water in the public pool, located at the junction of Hot Springs Road and Esplanade. There is a nominal charge for using the pool, and lockers, towels and swim suits may also be rented. In the summer tlie Pool is open 7 days a week between 8 am and 9 pm. The village should be explored, as should the beach, where the sand stretches along the lake and invites everybody to take a swim. The World Championship Sand Sculpture Competition is on from September 9 to October 10,1995, where you will see things done with just sand and water that you would never have thought possible. The seawall is planted with attractive flowers and shrubs that really makes the lakeshore a picturesque spot; the walks around the Lagoon and the seawall are full lighted for safety and security. The village celebrates a Centennial this year. Charles Inkman started a business in 1895, the Harrison Lake Supply Company, which supplied logging camps up the lake and delivered tourists to the Hotel in a fleet of taxis. His grandsons still own and manage the Harrison Village Mall on the same site. When it is time for the picnic, drive up along the east-side of the lake to Sasquatch Park, a most serene, spectacular setting for such an outing. Lots of picnic tables along the shore, green grass for the kids to play on, a beautiful beach to explore etc., etc. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed!

By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONX Here's the scenario: You are having a Japanese exchange student stay at your house for a week. Let us name him Toshiki Iijima. In order' to make Toshiki feel like a part of the family you are informed that you must assign him a chore. What do you get Toshiki to do? (Welcome to Canada, Toshiki!) Stuart McQueen: Cut the lawn, feed the horses, trim all the weeds, just make him a part of our western kind of Aldergrove heritage here. Part of that is horses. I think I'd probably get him to do some work with the horses. Linda Hillick: Go grocery shopping. Rita and Ernie Blanke: Help with the dishes. Cut the lawn. - Gloria Wolflinger with Brendan Abraham (nearly 2): Be a Japanese gardener for a week. He would learn about landscaping around here, how we do it in Canada. Get them to prepare some meals. Teach them how to cook Canadian style. April Beston: Do the dishes. I think that's the main one! No consensus on treaty talks LANGLEY - Fraser Valley native bands are nowhere near consensus on their position regarding Lower Mainland treaty negotiations, according to mayor John Scholtens, who has been attending meetings as an official observer. Scholtens said the coast bands, particularly "the Squamish are closest" and the meetings have concentrated on talks between the involved parties. "When the Katzie, Sto:lo and Kwantlen bands become ready to move forward, we (Langley township) will become more involved." Council was discussing the appointment of Vancouver city councilor George Puil as the GVRD's observer-representative to the negotiations, which also involve the Musqeam, Burrard and Tsawwassen bands. Both Langley township and Abbotsford councils have agreed to send official observers to the negotiations between the native bands and the federal and provincial governments. Shirley Johannesson: I would ask what kind of duties they would be expected to do at home, then I would ask them what they felt more comfortable with doing. I would give them a choice. Township woos PNE LANGLEY - It's a longshot, but the township's economic development commission is courting the PNE to relocate to this community once its Exhibition Park lease with Vancouver expires next year. PNE officials Annette Antoni- ak and Matt Median made a presentation here recently, enquiring about possible sites in tlie valley. Land requirement is 200 to 300 acres, and options are to build on a year-round site that would have other users or to use an existing fairground such as Cloverdale's with trucked-in rides. The 85 year old fair attracts over 1-million visitors and employs up to 5,500 during the fair, and 200 year-round. Eighteen "expressions of interest" have been submitted so far, in "developing a world class facility." Councilors voted to "thank the commission for a good job" in hosting the PNE officials, at their Monday meeting. 'Granny's' meeting for singles By MARTHA SIEMENS ALDERGROVE - The Mat- sqtii-Alclergrove Singles had an enjoyable roast beef and chicken buffet at Granny's Restaurant on their monthly Friday night Singles meeting, with the beautiful voice of Bernice of Country Crossroads entertaining the group. We also have some good singers! Saturdays Jam Session at Roily"s had a fantastic turnout with several well-known singers attending. Veronica Malloy, though nervous, did a "good job" on her first time entertaining. The Singles Pot Luck and Jam session at Patricia Hall, Aldergrove was not as well attended as usual, perhaps due to the "weeping" weather. This time the gals braved the elements and outnumbered the men. What a turn of events, but oh, the good food the men missed! We were honoured to have Leah Williams and John I laugh of Mission of folk music fame doing songs from John's new CD, "Train thru a northern Town" which is now available. You can enjoy more of these songs at Mission Civic Centre in September. We missed having Bernice of Country Crossroads as she was suddenly very ill. We are happy to say, at this time of writing, that she has improved considerably and is "back on the road". She doesn't give up easily! A speedy recovery also to Margaret L. who went in for eye surgery. Seniors and singles arc especially invited to a European style buffet, July 30 and Aug. 6 but all others are also welcome. More information available at Granny's, 856-0622. WHAT A PARTY DOLL!

Join in on a block party on August 1 By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Next Tuesday August 1, over 25 million people throughout North America will be participating in National Night Out. Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored locally by the Langley RCMP Block Watch Program, National Night Out is an event designed to: heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support and participation in local and -crime efforts; strengdi- en neighbourhood spirit and police-community rcladons; and send a message to criminals letting them know neighbourhoods are organized and fighting back. Block Watch's motto is 'neighbours looking out for neighbours' and again this year, neighbourhood groups'will be having block parties. These are great opportuni- des for everyone to get to know neighbours better, and help each other improve the residential security of neighbourhoods. Auxiliary RCMP Constable John McMichael, one of the members involved in Block Watch, said the types of pardes are left up to the participating neighbourhoods. Events planned in Langley include Hawaiian Luaus, barbecues, and coffee and donuts. "Pardes usually start about 7 p.m," he said. "They cordon off the street and everyone comes out, meets, has refreshments, things like that We are going to have a (RCMP) member drop by each party, meet the people, and provide information about Block Watch programs. "The theme of this year's party is 'Giving crime & drugs a going away party.' It's similar to American Take Back the Night programs, which are designed to help overcome the fear of going out at night, by sending a message to criminals that these are secure communities."

JULY 26,1995 15 Fantastic Hospice society continues growth in work in expanded location outreach programs LANGLEY - Seniors Resource Society's litde Outreach desk in the corner has expanded to a Seniors Outreach Office with three telephones busily ringing at a constant pace. Janice McTaggart has joined Silvia Fassler to provide speedy service to the Outreach members as they call in for a ride or other service provided. With the rapid increase of the seniors populadon in the Langley area, more and more seniors access these services, whether temporarily or on a regular basis. The following services are available: the Telephone Reassurance Line, the Handy man/Handy lady Service; Transportadon and Shopping Assistance. Volunteers are the key to these services. They help with shopping, drive a frail elder to their healthcare appointment or regularly call as a Telephone Reassurance friend. This helps a senior to stay connected with the community. For the volunteer it is a sadsfy- ing opportunity to serve and to be of practical help, and the elders are very appreciadve indeed for this caring service. The next orientation and training session for Outreach volunteers starts August 22 at 9:30 to 12:30 and will run for four consecutive Tuesday mornings. To register and for more information call die Seniors' Outreach office at 530-3020. By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - The Langley Hospice Society has moved to a new location in the Continuing Care building on 48 Avenue, but continues to provide a necessary service to the community, which is helping people who are dying and those left to grieve, through C* c* services provided by trained volunteers. For the last year and a half, staff members have been in the community to determine what types of services are needed, and how to best deliver those services to the people. Executive Director, Kay Johnson said that it is important to get the message out that the hospice does not exist to counsel or fix people, but to provide emotional support to the grieving and the dying. Hospice comes from the Greek word meaning both guest and host. The person involved is in charge of his/her life and makes the decisions about the type of support they would like to have, and the vSociety provides the support. "It's people helping people through the normal process of death and grief," she said, "and confidentiality during diis private dine is gready respected." Programs are available to help children, parents, teens, and whoever else needs emotional support. The Society provides training proi grams for volunteers, including peer counsellors to work in schools. It also publishes informational hand-outs and a booklet called "Death, Dying and bereavement: A Practical Guide," Juka Eyewear Selection System Eyewear for the whole family from Tura, the most complimented eyewear in the world.

Although the society gets between 300 and 350 referrals a year, they deal with over 1000 people a year. "It's not just the person," said Johnson. "The family is the unit of care." She cited a recent case of loss through suicide where volunteers had been in contact with hundreds of people including relatives, friends and co-workers. People wanting help need a referral, and should meet certain criteria, such as having only weeks or months to live, and must have made Uie decision to have palliative care rather that curative care. The referral can be made by' a doctor, hospital or community nurse. The Langley Hospice Society is not in competition wilh other organizations trying to establish hospices, such as AIDS or cancer hospices. "We treat the person as a whole, not a disease entity," said Johnson. "We are here to provide care for whatever the reason. The cause for the referral is secondary." The Hospice Society is not a hospital, it's a comfortable place for those who wish a home like environment while dying, but widiout some of the obstacles of home, such as stairs. Currently the Society is starting a campaign to raise funds to build their own facility. Plans are to raise the capital funds for the building and then continue operations through the provincial government's Closer to Home strategy. The target date to start building is the fall of 1997. As part of die fundraising the Society will be having a garage sale on Saturday, August 12, and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra will be putting on a benefit concert in October at die Langley Christian Life Assembly. For more information about programs, or to donate saleable items for the garage sale, call the Langley Hospice Society at 530- 1115.

Not only did they go ten feet over the Haney's property line, they also went into Abbotsford jurisdiction. At issue was installation of a concrete road barrier that practically funnelled traffic into their house, but the family considers it part of the larger problem of a traffic trouble spot that neither municipality wants to deal with. Township public works boss, Paul Christensen promptly called on the family when Tammy called the town hall, offered apologies and ordered the work corrected first thing Monday. The barrier has been.moved back onto the property line and on the Langley side, but the Haneys still are worried about the drivers who seem to take pieces out of their fence at least once a week. Tlie 90 degree turn at the junction of 28 Avenue and 276 Street is like a no-man's-land, according to Tammy, who says she gets brushed off by both Langley and Abbotsford town halls. "They need better warning signs," she said, although she acknowledges (hat the temporary road closure signs for the bridge work on 28 Avenue also seem to be ignored by drivers who come sailing around the corner, then turn around when diey see they can't get through. Their immediate neighbour to the north lives on a triangle of land, where 276 Street is split into 276th and Swensson Road. Asked if he gets a lot of accidents, Lee sighs' and says, "Let's put it this way; I now get chainlink fence wholesale. I can watch them coming south and they can't decide which way to go; left? right? oops, too late, smack into my fciice." "We get an accident a week, but no one wants to do anything to reduce the carnage," said Kevin. "About once a mondi we get a blind drunk who makes a real mess." Tlie couple are also angry diat Langley removed their fence for the work and didn't offer to put it back in place. "They said 'what good is it anyway?"' said Kevin. "It may not look like much but I keep putting it back up after someone runs it over, and they had no right to take it down in the first place." Tammy and Kevin Haney stand in their driveway, to illustrate how placement of concrete barriers on their land practically diverts traffic into their yard. The township fixed up the error Monday, but the Haneys want the public to realize that excessive speed on the comer is a menace to their daughter and other youngsters in the area. -Kurt Langmann photo Dirty dogs come clean for SPCA ALDERGROVE - Hordes of dirty dogs came in for a wash to raise funds for the SPCA. The "Big Splash" took place at all 13 Buckerfield's Country stores throughout B.C. on Saturday, July 22. In all, 1,644 dogs (and two cats) were washed, raising $10,819.53 for the SPCA. Buckerfield's staff and SPCA volunteers made a great team, soaping and scrubbing up dogs in this fourth annual event. Buckerfield's in Aldergrove reports that they washed 121 dogs, and the two cats, which raised $727.44.

In fact I should say my husband's mother. Ever since my father-in-law died, my m-i-l (I'll call her Maude) has been phoning our home to get my husband over to her place on some pretext or another. Maude does not drive but can well afford a taxi to town. She can't wash windows or vacuum because of arthritis in her hands but could afford a house cleaner. She can't do gardening because of chronic back pain but can afford a gardener. My husband, although he has two brothers and sisters living in the neighbourhood, was always her favorite, and so she phones him endlessly to come and give her a hand. My life is not my own any more. I am the one now who looks after our preschooler 24 hours a day, because my husband has been summoned by his mother. Sometimes he even stays and cooks her dinner and then watches TV with her, until she goes to bed. He doesn't seem to mind doing Uiis and, as much as I have said diings to him, it never sinks in. I am definitely at the end of my rope. I Iclp me, please. Signed: In a daze. Dear In a daze, If you can get your husband's attention for a few minutes, talk to him. Tell him exactly how you feel and dial this situation is dri- ving you around the bend. If he still wortitretc7l?i5dFmSOTWic^ and sisters and put it to them straight that they must have a family discussion.

Annabelle. Dear Anncbcllc, My Great Uncle Hairy, who is 91 years old and lost his fourth wife 10 years ago, has astonished us all by announcing, (hat he is going to get married yet again, this time to an exotic dancer who appears at one of Aldergrove's hotel lounges. He is very spry and makes wild claims about his virility, but we're worried that the honeymoon could be'just too much. The other day I came right out and asked him, if he had considered the health risks, especially the chance of a fatal heart attack from the excitement. "I just trust in fate when it comes to such things," he told me. "If she dies, she dies." What do you think, Annabelle? Just sign me "Worry Wart." Dear W.W., Maybe your great uncle should get his bride to take out a large life insurance policy, just in case. -T-faftftjuJC Jh.c.-sWr.Tfiti ,hapipj\!vH>- coulB'givc ME'a call...

Nessman, of Aldergrove and a student in the Plastics Technology program, was one of the institute's top students whose outstanding academic achievements were recognized at the awards ceremonies on June 21. It took time, effort to catch arsonist By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Sergeant Bill Emery, a twenty year police veteran, knows all about hard work and perseverance, as so do the members of the Arson Task Force, who have recently caught whom they believe to be the 'Abbotsford Arsonist,' after more than a year of intense investigative work. The Task Force was established in Matsqui in August 1994, when it became apparent that there was a serial arsonist at work. The team consisted of two members working closely with the Abbotsford RCMP and surrounding police forces. With the amal- gamadon of the two areas in January 1995, the task force was increased to 12 full-time members. Officers were divided into pairs and assigned daily dudes at a morning meeting, did their invesdgadve work during the day, and reported back to the whole team at another meeting late in the afternoon. Each meeting took between one and two hours. The Task Force investigated over 400 different files pertaining to the arsonist. Files consisted of investigative tips, public tips, undercover operations and information from other detachments, which all had to be thoroughly investigated. Sometimes officers had to interview witnesses and suspects, do record checks of witnesses and suspects, and collect physical evidence. Emery said that's why it (catching the arsonist) took so long. Each file is labour intensive with huge amounts of information to check. The Task Force also included a file coordinator, whose only job was to coordinate die incredible amounts of paper work including statements, photos, videos and correspondence between offices. "By the time we finished, we had 10 boxes of files and paper work," said Emery. "Many suspects had lived in other places, so we had a lot of correspondence with other departments and government agencies such as Social Services. It all had to be kept neady organized, so we could find something quickly if we needed it." At the fire scenes it was members of the Fire Commissioner's Office who 'dug out' die fire to determine the cause, and with their attendance and expertise, police officers would collect evidence for testing at the forensic lab. James Delvis Morrison was eventually arrested and charged with the fires, and has confessed to at least five in the Chilliwack area and 22 in the Abbotsford area. Hit-run vehicle sought ABBOTSFORD - Police are seeking public assistance in locating a vehicle that was involved in a hit and run accident at Tolmie Drug dealer to appear in court ABBOTSFORD - A 34 year- old resident has been arrested and charged with Possession of a narcotic (heroin) for the purpose of trafficking. The arrest happened on Friday, July 21, after the Police Drug Squad, Task Force and Bicycle Squad executed a narcotic search warrant at a residence in the 33800 block of Hazel Street The suspect will be appearing later this week in Abbotsford provincial court. Road and #2 Road, at.6 p.m, Sunday, July 23. Emergency Health Services attended the scene and transported a woman to Chilliwack Hospital who was suffering from head injuries. The other vehicle had left the scene before police arrived. The suspect vehicle is described as a 1978 or newer, full size, blue over grey, GMC pickup truck. In the accident the vehicle lost its canopy and tailgate and suffered extensive damage to the passenger side. It was last seen travelling east on Keith Wilson Road towards Chilliwack. Anyone with information about the suspect vehicle or driver is asked to call Abbotsford police at 859-5225 or Crimestoppers at 855^TIPS(8477). Public supports new store proposal Replica brandished Prnm frnnt . s t •. . .-. . Ss From front size, location, emergency access, parking, delivery trucks, noise and air pollution. O'Malley parted with !hc warning that should trucks not use back-up beepers there in an effort to reduce noise, she'd be standing behind the first truck to arrive with the aim of a lawsuit: "I'll own everything (the company) has got." Gordon Price told councilors that they shouldn't cave in to "a special interest group that does not reflect the majority" and warned that leaving off beepers and other safety devices was a "mistake." Forest Hills resident, Greg Thomas said he objected to those who wanted Save-On-Foods to build along 200 Street, an idea which he compared to strip-mall developments like those in Kingsway, Whalley and Clearbrook: "I would like it in the heart of the community, as proposed." In a related item, an 18.45 acre site for Home Depot in the 200 Street and 64 Avenue area, heard only one objection from Mona Schcllenbcrg, who said it should not be put in a "family neighbourhood." Ken O'Kcnnedy, spokesman for the adjoining Langley Crossing development, said they were in favour of the proposal. The two proposals will now proceed to consideration of diird and final reading at council's next regular mecdng. As a postscript, this writer is reminded of the city slicker who stops to ask a farmer for directions to the nearest town, gets frustrated with the complicated answer, and blows up with the insult, "You're not too far from a fool, are you Farmer?" Farmer replies, "'['hat's right. Stranger, there's just this little old fence between us." ABBOTSFORD - A 57 year- old man was arrested and charged with Possession of an dangerous weapon following an incident in the 3200 block of Saddle Road. Hie man and two 13 year-olds were involved in an incident involving each others bicycles, when the suspect confronted aud threatened the youths with what further investigation revealed to be a replica handgun. Ilie suspect was released on a promise to appear. AOTIOFE AUCTION Monday, July 31 7:00 pm CENTRAL AUCTION 20560 Langley Bypass, Langley 534-8322 ^??f^WSlfy;M^n- ■,■.:,...- ■ ^d WJW ■■_:!

But other councillors did not agree. "(If we do that) I'm sure we're going to have a great relationship with them, too," Coun. Steve Burton commented sarcastically. Councillors Mel Kositsky and Muriel Arnason would have liked to know "what they (the trustees) are doing." There have been rumours that the school board plans to build its own 'cultural centre' somewhere in Langley, and that the city fathers intend to build one in Langley city as well. On the other hand, maybe not, say some of the local politicians. Perhaps the city politicos will be smart enough to let their constituents use the one in Murrayville without having to pay for it. DO YOl|giAVE A SERVICE TO OFFER? Star display ads arc only H$50 p<||||||nm/uich 856-85<j||§ Parizeau bumbling toward referendum Wm CLARK OTTAWA ^Anyone who is worried (hopeful, perhaps?) that Quebec will separate can take comfort from new evidence the separatist movement is led by bumble heads. Monsieur Jacques Parizeau has undoubtedly gained yet more respect and admiration from his adoring masses by calling them a bunch of "lobsters". In a truly insightful slip, Parizeau reportedly made the comment to a gathering of European diplomats last month. It was June 23, to be precise, according to the report in Montreal's La Presse. Parizeau was meeting in Canada with the 15 representatives of the nations which make up the European Union. The pontificating and highly pretentious and preposterous Parizeau was discussing what would happen once Quebeckers voted for the so-called sovereignty-association option the Parti. Quebecois plans to offer voters. The referendum is allegedly to be held this fall, but rumors have begun circulating that Parizeau will delay the vote until late November or early December when Quebec snowbirds, federalists one and all, regularly jet south to Florida to escape the inhospitable "habitant" winter. Qucbeckers would be like "des homards jctcs dans l'eau bouil- lante," Parizeau said. That translates neatly and quite literally into "lobsters thrown into boiling water." There are two points to make here. First, even Quebeckers, urn mmm, unique as they arc, probably don't like being compared to something they like to eat once a year during their annual festivals des homards. No one would. Homards are something you either crush with pliers or tear apart with sharp, pointy instruments. Then you gobble thein down, after dipping the little chunks of flesh in melted garlic butter. This is not a fate most human beings would like to imagine for themselves. Second, Parizeau has once again given the Quebec federalists a sizable weapon (I picture a big, heavy steel hammer) with which to bonk the separatists on their wooden heads over aud over again. All public opinion polls over the last few months have shown, if nothing else, one inescapable view of what Quebeckers think when it comes to outright separation from Canada. They don't want it. What they want is some kind of mushy but comfortable notion of political and economic association with their old pals. At the same time, they want Quebec recognized as a sovereign country, determining ils own destiny, setting forth on the world stage, blah, blah, blah. Of course, they can't have both. So here's Parizeau, privately disclosing what he knows to be the inevitable outcome of a vote in favor of sovereignty-association. He knows there would be no turning back. It would have lo be, eventually, outright separation. Your average Jean-Guy from Lac St.Jean, having heard about Parizeau's blabberings, now knows this to be the truth too. If he casts his ballot ifc.favor of association, he's really saying yes to separation. Parizeau, in his fascinating style, has cleared the decks. All the federalists have to do over lite next few months is hammer home diat message: The only option is separation. That's what tlie vole is all about. Even Monsieur Parizeau understands that. Jean Chretien, you will remember, has been saying just that since the Parti Quebecois was elected last year. Oh, this is all too hilarious to be true. The interesting moment of truth will eventually come, however, should Quebeckers maintain their senses (lose them?) and vote No. That point will be in the one or two years immediately following the referendum. It is Uien that the federalist forces, including one Liberal leader Daniel Johnson, will be demanding concessions from the rest of the country to show Quebeckers they made the right choice.

Every penny of the profits raised by these volunteers is geared to a major upgrade of lighting in the Parkside sports fields, along with other Lions Chanties. -Kurt Langmann photo Vandals trash out charities ALDERGROVE - Young vandals are making life miserable for volunteer Lions Club members at Aldergrove Park. A late-night break-in through the concession roof last Thursday resulted in heavy water damage, when the thief broke a hot walcrpipe while crashing through the ceiling tiles. Lions volunteers spent the best part of Friday mopping up the Hood and tossing out spoiled food from the defrosted freezers. "This is costing tlie Aldergrove and Daffodil Lions money that's designated for something else," said Eunice Johnston. Bill White added that since the local bingo hall was closed down "by the gaming commission, in their infinite wisdom," the club relies solely on the concession to raise funds for ChrisUnas hampers and other projects such as the sportsfield lighting they want to buy for Parkside. Bill and wife, Fran; along with Len and Eileen Bergen are the ones who keep the concession open every day during! summer from noon to 5 p.m., as well as extended hours for ball games and tournaments that can carry through to October. Hours are coordinated with hours of the pool and water-spray playground. The retirees don't receive a single penny for the work, funnelling all money to Lions charities. Thursday's break-in was the third this summer, despite valiant efforts by the township to make illegal entry impossible. This time die vandals pulled off the rooftop "mushroom" vent and lowered what must have been a skinny kid through the tiny opening. The kid then opened the doors for the others. Township crews have now closed offl this entry and are hoping there is no other entry possible that they've overlooked. "Some neighbours called police about noise the time before and the break-in attempt was interrupted," said White. "The police got the kids, but there was nothing they could do — die parents didn't care. But all we can do is hope diat neighbours keep Uieir eyes and ears peeled at night because it's a disgusting mess to cleanup." LANGLEY - Township councilors arc leery of a shotgun wedding but decided to go along with a proposition from the Langley Chamber of Commerce to sit down with city councilors and talk about amalgamation. Couns. Muriel Arnason and Trudi Campen argued that any successful movement would require "a grounds well from the people" as the township had "already beat our heads on the wall (and) might have done more harm than good" but council's majority expressed the hope, that city councilors will also elect to come to the meeting. Chamber president Howard Reich said municipal affairs min ister Darlene Marzari "has offered the services of a senior ministry staff member to facilitate discussion between the two councils... the purpose of the meeting would be to discuss the concept of a study only, not amalgamation." Proposed date is sometime in early fall, and the chamber's 12- member amalgamation task force would also attend. Marzari has said that she will not consider imposing amalgamation on the Langleys, but will consider funding to assist in the restructuring. Earlier this year, she delivered about $1-million to Abbotsford to help in the transition, and coun. Heather McMul lan pointed out that Abbotsford is also saving about $1-million a year in operating costs through elimination of duplication of services provided by Abbotsford and the former Matsqui. Mayor John Scholtens said that the groundswcll of public support would best come in the form of a referendum. Arnason and Campen agreed that the best method was to "work slowly and patiendy" but coun. Steve Ferguson said, *We're not pushing hard enough." Arnason and Campen voted against the chamber-organized meeting, but council is now on record as in favour of the meeting and awaits a similar motion from the city.
