KEEP GUARD UP ADVISES POLICE Abby killer is suspiciously quiet ABBOTSFORD - Police believe that the man responsible for the October 14 death of Tanya Smith and beating of Misty Cock- erill may have moved out of the Abbotsford/Chilliwack area, since it has been more than three months since his last taunting call to police. Investigators issued an appeal for anyone to contact police if they know of anyone, matching the description of the killer, that left town just after Halloween. In the same breath they warn women not to walk the streets alone at night because he may still be in the area. Twenty-four full-time officers are working on the case, which has received over 7,000 tips relating to the composite drawing and the tape recordings of telephone calls the killer made to police. They have 2,000 possible suspects who either look like or sound like the killer who is in his 20s or 30s, about six feet tall, thin, and has a receding hairline. Two weeks ago, a man considered the prime suspect in the case was eliminated because a DNA test proved he is not the killer. He had been arrested and charged with an unrelated aggravated sexual assault incident, and released on bail. A $40,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the killer's arrest The public can listen to tape recordings of the killer's voice by calling 86^4722. ^ Anyone with information is asked to contact Abbotsford police at 859-5225 or CrimeStoppers at 855-TIPS(8477). FREEl classifieds FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE 'Enviro police state' coming, warns Liberal ABBOTSFORD - The B.C. Liberal environmental critic says that the government is heading towards an environmental police state through over-regulation and over-assessment of industry. John van Dongen also said the government's closed-door process for land-use discussions are blocking public debate on an issue of vital concern to everyone in B.C. Van Dongen called upon Environment Minister Moe Sihota to open up discussions in the Lower Mainland and provide a forum for public input "The government has set up another closed-door process for dealing with land-use issues," he said. "The B.C. Liberals have learned that the NDP are trying to push a Lower Mainland land-use plan through cabinet before the NDP leadership convention in mid-February. The decisions being made affect peoples' lives and livelihoods. People should have the right to participate in decisions affecting their communities." In the spring of 1995, the NDP established a Regional Public Advisory Committee to make recommendations to cabinet on the formation of new parks, and set aside industrial land in the Lower Mainland. The committee has not sought public input or held any public meetings. Van Dongen said that under a B.C. Liberal government communities would be guaranteed the right to participate in land-use decisions. "Under our Community Charter, local governments will have the right to make decisions affecting land-use under provincial guidelines." Veiled threat throws scare into oldtimer LANGLEY - An anonymous note jotted on a newspaper clipping about controversial Surrey city manager, Doug Lychak, has Langley township councillor Muriel Arnason worried. The cryptic words, "This could be you next Muriel" were written on a Vancouver Sun clipping which was mysteriously left in Arnason's mail-slot at municipal hall before 2 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 30. Arnason had cleared out the mail-slot the previous day, and said she was concerned about who would have had access to the backroom and her mail-slot Arnason said she couldn't understand the message, as the clipping referred to Surrey mayor Bob Bose admitting that he had triggered an RCMP criminal investigation into Surrey councillor Jerry Huot's conduct. Huot is accused of mixing his private notary public business with Surrey civic politics, and Arnason said that, as a retired schoolteacher and humble homeowner, she has no potential or relevant conflicts that might be alluded to in the scrawled message. She requested that Langley township administrator, Jim Godfrey "send the newspaper item to the RCMP for me for investigation, but my request had not been complied with." However, on Sunday, Feb. 4, when she heard that Lychak's home was hit by a suspicious fire — later confirmed as an arson case — she took the clipping to RCMP herself. rrue<l detail a _ew oi rne sp.* layor complaints by 11 city er Huot during the last rw id my The most serious al ir that wined in .i w0 19<M Portion of news clipping with mysterious "threat" to township councillor Muriel Arnason.

"Perhaps I am wrong, but I will not be intimidated by anyone. I am concerned that if this is not nipped in the bud then the harassment could well be escalated." In a related item, CUPE president Gord Savard charged BCTV with "irresponsible media coverage" in using old footage of strike action in Surrey, in their coverage of the Lychak fire investigation. "CUPE local 402 has nothing but sympathy to express to the Lychak family for the loss of their home and possessions as a result of the fire," said Savard, who plans to complain to the B.C.

LANGLEY - At coun. Heather McMullan's suggestion, the township will look into renting a larger venue for its much-anticipated decision on the next major growth area. The decision on the Growth and Planning Commission's report has also been delayed yet again, until March 3. The township has been under tremendous pressure from would- be developers from two eastern areas to be the chosen growth area once Walnut Grove is at capacity in the next couple of years. Several delegations from BrookswoodV- Femridge have spoken at length and presented hefty documents to council, and this Monday a large delegation from Willowbrook/- Willoughby made their case before council. Some delegates have also suggested opening both areas to development simultaneously, but the growth commission's recent report opposed this and nominated the northern area of Willowbrook/Willoughby. A local wag suggested council look into renting die Pacific Coliseum and borrowing a few lions for what is sure to be an extremely heated meeting. Driver apprehended in pit ABBOTSFORD - After a pickup truck failed to stop for a routine traffic check, police pursued it into a gravel pit north of Harris Road, where the driver abandoned the stolen vehicle and fled on foot . | The incident began just after 10 p.m, Friday, February 2, and ended an hour later, after a police dog tracked the suspect for several kilometres, until he was finally located and arrested. The suspect has been charged with dangerous driving and possession of stolen property, and will be appearing in court this week.

At the November 20 executive meeting, Council deferred the application until a long term plan could be set up. After a meeting widi two councillors, city staff, industry representatives, staff from the Ministry of Mines, and other interested parties, they are no closer to having a plan than they were before, and council deferred the application until a long term plan for mining on the mountain is in place. A staff update on the meeting, Wife beater expelled from country By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - The man, who beat his wife almost to death, was quiedy deported to India last week after being found ineligible for refugee status. Immigration Adjudicator Linda Mackie issued a conditional deportation order against Rajwant Brar at a detention review hearing on January 9, which allowed him to apply for refugee status. At that time officials were quite certain that he would not meet eligibility requirements, and be deported. Brar, who was declared a Danger to the public in a certificate signed by a delegate from the Immigration Minister's office in November 1995, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to 16 months in jail for the vicious attack on his wife. At the hearing Brar's wife, Alvinder, testified that she was hot coerced by her husband or other family members to support him, and that she' would light to have him return to Canada. She further testified that she is no longer afraid of him because he took anger management classes while in prison. Because he is a Danger to the public, Brar cannot legally reenter Canada without permission from the Minister of Immigration. held on December 6, revealed that the major issues are over-regulation and duplication of security between regulatory bodies, (the City and the Ministry of Mines). Industry members were positive about the communications but did not wish to formalize die group. Quarterly meetings are acceptable to all except Ministry of Mines staff. Councillor Patricia Ross, who attended the meeting, said she is disturbed by the Ministry of Mine's attitude that Abbotsford should stay out of the issue because mining is under Provincial jurisdiction. "There is no way the city will stay out of it," she said. "Just because the MOM has jurisdiction does not mean we have to roll over and play dead. We have to send them a strong message as to how we feel. We need a plan and a compromise." Councillor George Peary said that it is the arrogance of the MOM, who have no concern for the people living there. "Our problem is the development and preservation of Sumas Mountain," he said. " We have to make our concerns known (to the Ministry)." Councillor Ron Sweeney, said he is reluctant to approve the application, because the city has so far been unable to ensure the concerns of the surrounding properties regarding such things as noise, dust, and truck traffic. "Let the Ministry override us, if that's what they wish," he said. The final motion to proceed with drafting a long term plan for mining on Sumas Mountain, inviting all groups to discussions, and not to allow any more applications for mining on the mountain until it is done,,was opposed by Councillors Brad Boyse and Ken Funk.

FEBRUARY 7,1996 LANGLEY - Township council has voted themselves a modest wage increase, and their representatives on various GVRD boards also will get a boost in their per diems for sitting in on board meetings. Coun. Muriel Arnason voted against the increases andJ harshly criticized a proposal to establishing a new pension system for municipal politicians. Other councillors scoffed at the pension proposal as "unlikely" but may change their minds when taxpayers riot in the streets over how poorly their local politicos are paid and looked after in their senior years. Coun. Steve Ferguson appeared relieved at hearing that he'd been put on the GVRD's air, sewer and water committee, Mon day, after complaining at the last council meeting that the air quality committee he sat on had been disbanded. The committee had actually been merged with the sewer and water committee, presumably as a cost-saving measure. Arnason commented that GVRD representatives will now be paid $110 a meeting, a $5 increase over last year: "This is a hardship?" GVRD chair Greg Halsey- Brandt wrote council this week that the air committee only had three members and a low profile, and would benefit by the merger which would have nine members hearing the issues: "It is more effective to have one forceful committee rather than two under worked, under-challenged ones." He also appointed Ferguson to the new committee. Coun. Mel Kositsky noted that coun. Steve Burton was appointed to the mosquito control board, and asked if that meant "mosquitoes are coming to Langley?" Council also adopted, over Arnason's objections, a remuneration bylaw that increases their indemnities by the consumer price index average of 2.211 percent. This translates to $1,082 more for the mayor (to $50,064 a year) and $361 more for each councillor (to $16,688 a year). They are also allowed a one-third portion of their remuneration as an allowance for expenses while on municipal business.

VIC PETERS I wmi axcenter 27015 Eraser Hwy., Aldergrove ! 857-H00 /ffae VICTORIA - The Nanaimo NDP Association funnelled more than $200,000 in bingo money to the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society-Charities Society between 1975 and 1986, said MLA Mike de Jong. Documents, obtained by the BC Liberals under the Freedom of Information Act, show that the Nanaimo NDP Association routinely listed the NCHS-CS as the recipient of funds required to be donated to charities under the Societies Act. The NCHS-CS was one of four societies that pled guilty to criminal charges of fraud and were fined by the courts in 1994. "Every time we turn over another rock we find more evidence of NDP corruption," said de Jong. "These gaming files prove two things, first that the NDP were neck-deep in the diversion of funds from charities right from the start, and second that all of their protestations about being hapless victims of Dave Stupich are nothing but a fabrication." In 1986, some $40,000 listed as donated to the NCHS-CS was never recorded in the group's financial records. Prior to 1986, NCHS-CS financial statements are incomplete, however forensic auditor Ron Parks suggests that NCHS charities routinely used the money to repay debentures. "The bottom line is that money that was supposed to go to charities was used to pay off bad debts incurred by the NDP's self-proclaimed fund-raising arm," said de Jong.

NCC president David Somerville told a Toronto news conference that his group is distributing 100,000 copies of its popular Tales from the Tax Trough booklet, accompanied by television, radio and newspaper ads and direct mail in the greater Toronto area. "This booklet, which we have dubbed Tales from the Tax Trough III - The Liberal Edition, is packed with example after example of how federal politicians and bureaucrats squander our tax dollars," says Somerville. "We guarantee it will outrage and shock any taxpayer who reads it" Some examples of government waste in the booklet include: • $105,000 on a study comparing hockey coaches and symphony conductors. • $500,00 on a canoe hall of fame, located in Prime Minister Jean Chretien's own riding. • $38,000 on a study of the Detroit Tigers baseball team. Somerville said the goal of the campaign is to get taxpayers to pressure Liberal MPs to get the federal government to cut wasteful spending in the next budget "Taxpayers still have time to influence what's in the next federal budget," says Somerville, "but they will have to make their Voices heard now."

"Top-down constitution making by the federal government, the premiers, and the national unity industry has failed to preserve national unity and has increased the threat of separation and national break-up," said Manning. "The Canadian people have better ideas on how to resolve Canada's national unity problems than traditional politicians. They will no longer take a back seat to the politicians who almost lost the country in the last referendum." The Reform Party proposes to engage thousands of Canadians from coast to coast in redefining Canadian federalism and confronting the realities of secession. Reform's plan, contained in a discussion paper entitled, "20/20 - A Vision for the Future of Canada" invites Canadians to convene special community meetings to address the following questions: 1) How would you change Canadian federalism in order to best prepare for the 21st century? 2) What issues would the secession of Quebec raise for Canada, and what impact would the attempted resolution of those issues have on Canada and Quebec? 3) If Canada needs new constitutional arrangements for the 21st century, how would those arrangements best be developed? The paper also invites Canadians to consider Reform proposals for securing a better balance of federal and provincial powers, to define a Canadian position on terms and conditions of separation, and to complete a questionnaire on key national unity issues. Reform intends to use the feedback from the community meet- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Really not complicated Editor, The Star, Sir, The following is an open letter to Langley township and city councillors. Why is this so hard to understand? We feel that the purchasing of a business licence affords us the rights to carry on the business of towing automobiles and should include all areas of such business. The restrictions proposed, that would deny certain companies equal opportunities, is an unfair limitation to place on businesses who have all paid for business licences to operate in the City and Municipality. We are all equipped to do the same job(s) if given equal opportunity and reasonable Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community. The let- ters-to-the-editor column is a chance for comment on what has been said in the paper. It is our readers' opportunity to respond^ to what newsmakers of the area ' have been saying. We especially encourage readers to write on topics of local interest, although letters which enlighten or stimulate thought are welcome. We ask that letters be free of libel and bear the name and address of tlie author. Submissions must include a written signature. We prefer letters to be typed and double spaced, and present the comment as clearly and briefly as possible. The editor reserves the right to condense or reject letters containing libel or of poor taste. notification. Our business licences gives us the authority to carry out the business of towing in Langley. For the past 15 years, we have arbitrarily been denied the access to a portion of towing which takes approximately 40% of our potential income. This has cost us financial loss, extreme hardship and loss of I.C.B.C. accident first tow revenue. We would suggest the following: 1. That the City and Township call for proposals of towing for government vehicles only. 2. Towing of privately owned vehicles should be fairly distributed among the established firms based in the area (re: I.C.B.C. approach to towing - as per percentage of listed equipment). 3. Business should be shared with companies who have current local business licences. The contracting of the above work to one company has restricted our access of the accident towing section of our business and has caused us serious financial loss (loss of income from I.C.B.C. accident 1st tows). This matter requires serious consideration regarding Business Freedom of Rights to operate under the Charter. Your prompt attention to these matters is imperative to all parties concerned - the City, the Municipality and towing companies. J. K. DAVIS, Aldergrove ings and questionnaires to hammer out a National Unity Platform at its National Assembly June 6-9, in Vancouver. On Jan. 18, Manning was on his way to a meeting in Kamloops with BC's 24 Reform MPs and 300 executives of federal Reform constituency associations to launch the grass roots unity effort in British Columbia. Similar meetings are being planned for other provinces over the next few months. "Our message to Canadians is straightforward. It's your country. It's your future. And your participation in defining that future is essential," said Manning. "Let us work together to develop a better vision of our country. Together, let us learn the danger of going our separate ways. And then let us resolve to move together into the New Canada of the 21st century." ~Ww% Man and his God If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. - Voltaire I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should. -Wolfgang von Goethe Just the facts, ma'm, please! Editor, The Star, Sir, I watched the council meeting of Jan. 22, 1996, in which a report was read from a Mr. Tom Reid, a municipal financial consultant from a Vancouver firm. Mr. Reid was analysing the "Financial Impact" report by Banmen and Williams, which forms the financial part of the Growth Management Report of November 1995. The latter was presented to Council last fall, with the recommendation that Willoughby and Willowbrook be designated as the next growth area for Langley township, as they would cost less than developing Brookswood and Fernridge. However, Mr. Reid states that having developers offer to install some trunk services in Brookswood should not be under- 'stressed, as shifting front-end costs to the private sector reduces the reliance on property taxes. He says developer funding of basic infrastructure brings another asset: it reduces the risks to the municipal taxpayers. On the subject of surplus lands, (mainly in Brookswood) he states that "the Growth Management Report's comment, that DCC revenues must be used, is false. Why not use the lands for parks? North Vancouver district just did!" Councillor Arnason asked the question of whether or not these lands are indeed "surplus" or if in fact they are registered in Victoria as designated park and school sites. The answer was that they are most certainly registered as park and school sites, and should be used as such. I wonder why our senior staff members renamed these lands as "surplus"? It reminds me of when they renamed South Brookswood as "Fernridge". Did our elected members of council vote to rename these both, or did the staff just arbitrarily go ahead on their own? I wonder what our mayor and council are planning to do about this? Mr. Reid asks a lot of questions in his report, mainly about what was missing from the Financial Impact report's reasoning for choosing Willoughby over Brookswood for the next growth area in Langley township. The final outcome was based on erroneous data, and I think the whole financial aspect of which area will cost more to taxpayers should be re-worked. The mistakes are too numerous when you look a the 20-year planning model they used for the final costs. Whatever the outcome, the final decision should be based solely on factual data, verified by more than one independent financial consultant. TOMTOMIC, Langley Sign language is a language in its own rights Editor, The Star, Sir, What do you think of the deaf community? What does it mean to you when a person refers to a deaf person? I am a 16 year old student in grade 11, and I am currently trying to get sign language accepted by the ministry of education as a second language, so it can be taught to students upon request, just as a student would take French, Mandarin, Spanish or German. The B.C. government has already stood up and announced that they recognize sign language as an official language, but they have yet to offer it to students in public schools. I have been taking French in school since grade 5, and I am still taking it, however, as a personal feeling, I don't like it. I enjoy sign language very much, and continue to speak it with anyone willing to communicate with me. I am also planning on attending university when I graduate, but to do so, I need a second language to meet the entrance requirements. I would like to enter university with sign language as my second language, but the B,C, government won't let me, because it has not yet been given official second language status - enough to get me into university. I have launched a campaign to change that, so I am appealing to you, the public for support. I have created a petition, that has been approved by the clerk of the legislature, which I am hoping that anyone in the general public, who agrees that sign language should be considered a second language and should be able to be used as a university entrance requirement, to sign this petition. The public are the ones who have the power to change this, so I urge anyone, who agrees with me, to please write me at Box 158- 7101C 120th Street, Delta, B.C. V4E 2A9.

But the overall cost of maintaining prisons dropped by 1.4 percent because of federal and provincial budget cuts. Statistics Canada says. Even so, it still cost Canadian taxpayers almost $2-billion in 1994-95 to maintain federal and provincial prisons and parole systems. On any given day, about 33,800 adults were behind bars in 1994-95, the highest number ever and an increase of 3.3 percent from the previous year. Each prisoner cost taxpayers an average $41,289 to keep in jail for a year. But that's only part of the story. On any day, an average of 113,008 men and women, who had been convicted of a crime, were either on parole or on a community supervision program. In the provincial systems, there were more offenders on probation or parole. It was the opposite in the federal system, said the report Inmates in federal prisons were serving an average sentence of 44 months - nearly four years. That was up from 43.9 months the previous year. Federal corrections costs totalled $913-million while the total cost of provincial jails amounted to $980-million.

RCMP then turned the man over to Abbotsford Police, ABBOTSFORD - Fraser Valley West MP Randy White, as Solicitor General critic,.is outraged by a report that Corrections Canada has provided 43 Inuit inmates at Bowden Institution in Alberta with more than $8,000 worth of muskox, whale blubber and Arctic char flown in from the Northwest Territories. W'hite is incensed that law abiding citizens in his riding tare living off Kraft Dinner and Hamburger Helper, and don't have money for pork chops and steaks. "Why should inmates get better?" he asks. Corrections officials said they are trying to meet the needs of Inuit inmates,- just as they do for Catholics, which angered White even more. 'Instead of comparing Inuits to Catholics, they should be comparing prisoners to law abiding Canadians, who don't have roasts shipped in for their cultural convenience." The report states that $2,786 of muskox and caribou, and $1,841 of whale blubber and Arctic char, was recently delivered to Bowden. In November and December 1995 an additional $2500 was spent. Orders to prisons filled out in the past include caribou strip loin at $11.11 per pound and muskox strip loin at $9.09 per pound. 'This is yet another example of a Liberalized system gone too far," White said. 'Taxpayers are not going to continue footing the bill to ensure that inmates are treated better then they are." n need of legal help?

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY 7,1996 Times are changing, but not for the better The new community bus is now available for organized fieldtrips, thanks to the fundraising efforts of several local groups. Representatives of the contributing groups gathered Saturday to dedicate the 15-passenger van: (loft) Doug and Ceceel White of Aldergrove Seniors Network; Connie Dykstra of Aldergrove Community Centre Society; Anne Morrison, Brigitte Sooke and Eleanor Parkinson of Aldergrove Rotary Club; Jason .

Minibus acquired by community effort ALDERGROVE - Thanks to four community groups working together in partnership, the Alder-, grove Community Centre Society has acquired a' 15-passenger van for use of the community groups in the east Langley recreation area. The van, operated by the society, will be based at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre and will become an integral part of programs run by the community centre and community groups and services. The purchase of this van is a true community effort that has taken two years to realize. Two years ago the Aldergrove Community Centre Society and the Aldergrove* Rotary Club entered into an agreement to raise sufficient funds to purchase this van. The Rotary Club was able to raise in excess of $12,500, which, along with the $15,500 raised by the society, provided the main source of funds towards the purchase. The Aldergrove Youth Council also committed to raise funds for this project and, in the fall of this last year, presented the society with sufficient funds to install a top of the line radio and stereo cassette. Preston Chev- Olds of Langley were very generous in their price and most cooperative in any dealings we had with them, S.R. Collision donated the lettering and logo installation. The Aldergrove Kinsmen Club- assisted in the purchase of the first year's insurance. The van is available for all groups in the Aldergrove area on a donation basis, plus cost of fuel. The driver is required to have a valid Class 4 drivers license. To date the van has been used by groups as diverse as the Seniors Network, Aldergrove Community Secondary School, Red Cross swim program, local church groups and UP With People, as well as extensive use with the community centre programs. To arrange use of the van, call the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre at 856-2899. By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - News of a change in B.C. Tel's billing will not sit well with many seniors, especially those who are more or less housebound and depend on their telephones to keep in touch with the outside world. Talk of thirty calls a month, which averages a call per day, seems pretty restricted.. Extra calls, of course, can be made for 25*t each. As I've said so many times, times are changing and not for the best. The Aldergrove Secondary school drama club are to be congratulated for the fine performance of "Midsummer Night's Dream". It is not easy, I'm sure, to learn to speak the language of Shakespeare's days and with such expression. The General Meeting Friday Feb. 2, was held in the OAP hall 11:30 pm. Several items of interest were discussed, the picnic in July is to be held at William's Park. #71 is hosting this event. The Annual OAP Convention is to be hosted by the Matsqui OAP branch and will be held in Abbotsford. Neighboring branches are asked to help. The Bridge club held their Pot Luck supper Friday evening in the OAP hall. The usual evening of Bridge followed. Twelve tables were filled. First and second prize winners tied with a score of 7610, these winners were Kay Carpenter and Ann Audette. The third winner was Ralph Peterson with a score of 6490. Fourth was Joe Slaven with 6140; Mary Harwood - came fifth with 5920, and sixth was Fred Irwin, whose score was 5890. Emilie Berlund had 5880. Audrey Sawkes won the draw. Thirteen attended Carpet bowling Thursday. We had some good games. I made the greatest shot ever, only to have the opposing team of Brits knock it right off and shatter my dreams. A senior chap was seen around town wearing mismatched shoes - but not to worry, he claims there are two just the same at home. Now this chap is quite a fastidious dresser, and for a dinner date he changed his pants, but it seems, when he emerged for his night out, he had the same pants back on. These are true facts that makes one wonder what's going on in this fellow's mind. Forty one were out to Wednesday' s dance. The spot went to Edna Moffat and Barney Goble. The 50-50 draw was won by Alice Price, Katherine Stamm and Evelyn, didn' t get the last name. Peter Kedela's birthday was celebrated at the Wednesday- night dance. On Saturday 57 dancers were out. Spot dances went to Ted Jones and Katherine Stamm and Gordon and Hazel. Fifty-fifty winners were Peter Kedela, Edna Moffat, Myrtle Carcon, Lillian Burke, and Violet Rapin. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mrs.'Uprichard, our sympathy goes to her family.'

Two new commissioners appointed CHILLIWACK - "If we don't preserve the farmer, then we're not going to have farmland." That s the next issue to be addressed in a public lecture series at the University College of the Fraser Valley. The lecture, entitled Protecting the Farmer and Our Food Supply, will be given by Dave Sands, Greenzone administrator for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, on February 19. It is the third in a lecture series co-sponsored by UCFV, the Fraser Basin Management Program, and Van City Credit Union. "We have to understand that urban pressures on the farming community really is a pressure on those people, our farmers, producing our food. We have to consider how we can enhance agriculture in our province, not hinder it with such things as unwarranted nuisance complaints and inadequate local government planning that can be disrespectful to the farming areas. The fanners are a very important sector of the ownership of the province when one considers that 70% of privately owned land in B.C., excluding privately owned forest lands, is owned by fanners!" 'The fann industry was finding that they were getting a lot of issues of urban encroachment, not necessarily right in the ALR, although some of it is, where somebody buys or builds a home and then starts basically unfairly dictating what fanners can do and what they don't want them to do," explained Sands. "This is an issue of urban encroachment. Some governments are not planning with agriculture's interests at heart and usually it is urban oriented." The farming industry's push for legislation to address these urban encroachment issues has resulted in B.C's new Farm Practices Protection - or Right to Farm - Act Most provinces and 40-odd states have right-to-farm legislation of some kind. "Farmers had a lot of problems with nuisance issues," noted Sands. "It's been something occurring not only at the urban/rural interface but right within the farmland itself. That was the pressure on them. They were saying it's tough enough farming in the sense of competing on a market. We don't need unwarranted obstacles in our way in our own province. That was really how this (legislation) was driven." Agreeing that the issue is especially relevant here in the Fraser Valley, Sands said the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, will now be working more closely with local governments. "The new amendments to the Municipal Act now. requires approval from the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for bylaws restricting or prohibiting agricultural uses within the ALR. This certainly has brought us right into the picture for working with local government in planning for agriculture for the future." Often, after his presentations, said Sands, "people admit that they never thought of some of these issues for the fanning community. They say we understand what we're trying to do here - we're trying to protect our farmers, our food...and that we're doing some things wrong that we've got to change." During Protecting the Farmer and Our Food Supply, Sands will be using slides to demonstrate examples of inadequate planning and conflicts that have occuned. This free public lecture will be. presented in Room 114 of the Agriculture building on the Chilliwack campus of UCFV. It will start at 7:30 pm on Monday February 19. The fourth and final presentation in the Van City/Fraser Basin Management Program/UCFV series will be in mid-April, and will look at the future of the forestry, farming and fishing industries. PENTICTON - Agriculture Minister David Zirnhelt has announced the appointment of Janna Bakker of Langley and David Taylor of Kelowna to the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission. Bakker is a second generation farmer whose parents founded Koch Greenhouses. She, along with her husband, specialize in flower production and are now one of the leading producers of loses and orchids.

Taylor is a third generation fruit grower who operates a 23 acres orchard that has been in the family since 1910. Zirnhelt said the appointments provide the ALC with additional members to enable it to carry out is duties more effectively. Both terms are for a one-year period. The ALC, established in 1973, is responsible for preservation and protection of B.C's limited farmland. It conducts land use planning in partnership with local communities, adjudicates applications for the'use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve and encourages farming to provide a basis for a sustainable economy and a secure source of food.

Resident of British Columbia for the past 6 months 1-800-661-8683 ^^^*^.K-^b ' ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, Last year I tried to do something nice for my wife for Valentines Day. I got off work early and came home and made, what I considered, a smashing dinner. Bought some flowers, set the table, put out the candles. I even cleaned our best silver holders to put them in. Everything looked great, I put the wine in the fridge to chill and turned on her favorite CD. When she arrived home from her office, she was thrilled to bits. We had a glass of wine and danced for a while in the livingroom. Soon I heard the bell ring on the stove, and I served my home-cooked dinner to her in the dining room. It was so romantic. Shortly after midnight we both woke up with terrible cramps. All I can say is that it is a good thing we have two bathrooms. Neither of us slept the rest of the night, and the next morning both of us phoned in Sick. We were off work for two days. Now that the anniversary of our near-death trip is rearing its ugly head again, have you a suggestion about what I should do this year? Don't say I should cook another dinner, because I haven't been allowed in the kitchen for almost a year. Personally, I think it was the wine. Signed: No gourmet. Dear No gourmet, A lot of folks may consider you very lucky, being barred from your kitchen. I know I would be. Why not take your wife out to a nice restaurant this Valentines Day? There are several fine ones in the area. I can recommend the Hourglass on Fraser Highway. It is friendly and romantic, and I can guarantee you will both go home happy, not to mention feeling well. Dear Annabelle, One tends to reflect upon one's solitary status as this time of year approaches, and jolly old St. Valentine gets ready to whip up his reindeer and set off delivering jack o'lanterns and all that rot, what? That is to say, one feels the need for the companionship of a member of the gentler sex, if one makes oneself clear. Cutting away the camouflage and shouldering the musket, so to speak, I wonder if I might use your highly regarded column as a means of reaching out for that companionship I seek. In brief, I am looking for a mature lady (aged 80 to 105) to share crosscountry marches, bayonet practice, obstacle courses, wilderness bivouacking and intimate field ration dinners. Interested parties will supply their own weapons. Object: detente. No triflers, please. My late wife was highly skilled in the use of mortars and long-range large-bore rifles, and also could handle herself well in hand-to-hand combat. Unfortunately she often refused to wear her helmet, claiming that it precluded the use of hair curlers, and was wounded whilst charging a machinegun nest during that unpleasantness in Spain a few short decades ago. The damage to her head was, it seems, just severe enough to fit her for a career in politics, and we drifted into divorce. Hopefully, Brig.-Gen. Hugo "Huge" Wallop (Ret) Dear Huge, Consider it done.

They will also be the focus of a lecture by a Malaysian writer and activist at the University College of the Fraser Valley next week. Evelyne Hong will speak on Fair Trading Practices for Children at UCFV's Abbotsford campus on Thursday, February 8, from 11:30 am to .12:50 pm in room B101 (lecture theatre), and at the Chilliwack campus on the same day from 2:30 to 3:50 pm in room BI 15 (Agriculture centre). Hong is one of the editors of Third World Resurgence, the monthly magazine of the Third World Network. She studied social anthropology and lived among the Kenyah and Kayan communities in Sarawak for a year. She is involved in networking, research, and campaign work with the Third World Network, and has written articles and books on health, women, development, and culture. She is the mother of a 16-year-old daughter. The Third World Network is an independent non-profit international coalition of organizations and individuals involved in efforts to bring about the needs and rights of people in the Third World, a fair distribution of world resources, and forms of development which are ecologically sustainable and fill human needs. Hong's lecture is being presented by the UCFV International Education department and Ten Days for World Development, a focused education and action program designed to encourage grassroots support for constructive social change. Ten Days is dedicated to helping people discover, examine, reflect, and act on the ways global and domestic structures and policies promote and perpetuate poverty and injustice for the majority of the world's people. Ten Days for World Development is sponsored by the Anglican Church of Canada, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the United Church of Canada, and the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace. In conjunction with these sponsoring churches, the program is developed and promoted by a network of 200 volunteer ecumenical committees across Canada who organize special events during a "ten day" period each year (February 9 to 19, 1996) and mobilize Canadians to work for positive social, economic and political change. 911 calls could exceed million BURNABY - Calls to the 9-1- 1 emergency phone system will exceed one million in 19% if the current rate continues.

Vision at TWU accelerated LANGLEY - Beaver Foods Limited, a subsidiary of Cara, has pledged $600,000 to Trinity Western University's Vision of Excellence capital campaign. TWU vice-presidents Ron Kuehl and Lou Sawchenko received the first cheque for $250,000 from Dick Kirkland, vice-president and Ian Legasse, general manager of Beaver Foods Limited, on January 15 at the construction site for the new student centre. Beaver Foods has been providing food services at TWU for 18 years and has generously supported the university in the past 'The Vision of Excellence capital campaign is the most ambitious project the university has undertaken," says Kuehl. "This kind of corporate support is very encouraging. With an enrolment that has doubled to more than 2,000 over the past nine years, the university's need for a new student centre facility is felt across the campus. The new 83,000-square-foot student centre will provide an atrium lounge, expanded food services, additional classrooms and offices, and a parkade. Groundbreaking took place on December 1 and construction is expected to be completed within one year. The public phase of Trinity Western's Vision of Excellence capital campaign for the student centre was also launched in January. Seventy-two per cent of the Campaign's $5-million goal has already been achieved, with $ 1.4- million to be raised in the next two years. The future for adoption VANCOUVER - The new Adoption Act emphasized that members of the adoption circle - birthparents, adoptees and adoptive parents - are inextricably linked. Now, for the first time, two organizations from the adoption community join to present the largest and most inclusive adoption conference that B.C., and possibly Canada, has ever seen. Never before has a joint conference presented a range of speakers of this calibre. The Forget Me Not Family Society and the Adoptive Parents Association of B.C. titled the conference Working Together: The Future For Adoption, to reflect an important turning point in adoption: the shift toward openness, sharing and learning from each other. The conference will feature 48 workshops presented by 36 adoption experts from across Canada and the U.S. Topics include: attachment, medical reunion, school, pre-adoption, open adoption, racism, adoption law, F.A.S./F.A.E., international adoption. Conference takes place March 1, 2 & 3 at the Landmark Hotel, 1400 Robson Street, Vancouver. For more information, to receive a conference brochure, or to register call 530-9982 or 588-7300.

Moral crisis in Christian leadership to be explored LANGLEY - It is no secret that a moral crisis exists in Christian leadership. The news media often report incidents of sexual misconduct among famous evangelicals, yet the problem also extends to local church congregations, where pastors, Sunday school teachers and others in leadership have fallen to the temptation of immoral behavior. Responding to the need for dialogue and solutions to this crisis, the Graduate Counselling Psychology program of Trinity Western University is sponsoring a symposium: "Why Christian Leaders Fall and What We Can Do About It" The symposium will tackle the issues from both biblical and psychological perspectives. Keynote speakers are: Dr. Roy Bell, coauthor of Betrayal of Trust and professor of Family Ministries at Carey College in Vancouver; Dr. Grant Martin, author and psychologist in Seattle; Dr. Don Page, vice-president for academic affairs at TWU; and Ms. Jan Weinbrenner, co-author of What Happens to Others When Leaders Fall. Topics of discussion include: Violence in "Why leaders fail - who do we blame?", "Power and loss of integrity", and 'The failure of servant leadership". Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and express their own views. Said Dr. Wong, head of TWU's MA in Counselling program, "The objective is to achieve a deeper understanding of the contributing factors and explore possible solutions for the present moral crisis. The combination of both biblical and psychological perspectives will bring discernment to the issue...the revealed truth and the discovered truth are two sides of the same coin, because God is the author of all truth." he symposium will be held on TWU's campus in Langley on Saturday, March 2 from 9 am to 6 pm. Registration fees are $40 per person and include lunch and refreshments. Registration deadline is February 23. Information and registration forms are available at local churches and at Trinity Western University's Graduate Counselling program office at (604) 888-7511, ext. 2313 or fax (604) 888-2364 or by e-mail to Dr. Paul T.

The regulations require employers to determine whether there is a risk of violence and if so set up procedures to minimise the risks to employees. Employees who experience violence in the course of their work are covered under the Workers Compensation Act, and as such employers must provide a workplace as safe from threat of violence as possible. To help employers, the WCB has created a brief guide called Take Care: How to develop and implement a workplace violence prevention program, which will assist employers in setting up a program to prevent violence in the workplace. To order a copy of the guide, contact the Prevention Division of the WCB in Abbotsford at 2774 Trethewey Street, or call 556- 2060, or toll free 1-800-292-2219.

FEBRUARY 7,1996 H Star Entertainment Byrnes' blues beat keeps rolling; Munshaw's 'sun comes up' in the west By KURT LANGMANN This weekend marks the 30th year for the Variety Club's Show of Hearts telethon, and the list of entertainers over the 22 hours broadcast by BCTV looks great with a range of famous professionals as well as numerous local talents: Stave Falls Scottish Dancers to Peace Arch Adelines to Sizzlers Fiddlers Group to Pacific Symphonic Wind Ensemble to the Show Boat cast — and so many more. The Star spoke with one of B.C.'s brightest talents, Jim Byrnes, who makes a return to the fundraiser this Saturday. Byrnes has become internationally famous for his hit TV series, Wiseguy and Highlander, as well as his trio of smoky blues albums (That River on Stony Plains label is his latest), but also stands tall as an example of how people can overcome handicaps. He lost his legs in an awful road accident on Vancouver Island about 20 years ago (he was helping push a car off the foggy highway when another vehicle rammed into it), but a sound mind, strong character, smooth voice and agile fingers have been applied to a career that's the envy of most able-bodied entertainers. When I spoke with him last week, he was fresh back from Los Angeles, where he shot a Wiseguy movie of the week for ABC. He's rehearsing for the telethon this week (three of his players are on the telethon's houseband), and after his appearances on Saturday, he jets off Sunday to Toronto for an appearance on the Dina Petty talkshow. In between, he's raising a family (the interview was interrupted for a chat with his daughter). "I've had so much film and TV work, and I also have to keep my band going fulltime, while keeping a normal family life," said Byrnes. "It's insane; I'm burning the candle at both ends, but it's all so important to me." His eight piece, which includes a horn section, is regularly featured on the TV series and that helps. "My character on Highlander, Joe Dawson is caught up in this immortal battle for supremacy of this 1,000 year old secret society, but he also has Joe's Blues Bar, which means I get to play and write music for the series. Highlander is a joint production with a French TV net- Jim Byrnes work — we shoot 13 episodes here and nine in Paris — and that's opened doors for my music in France. In the last three years I've met a lot of people there, and my new record will be licensed for sale in France. "I've got some band dates in Vancouver when I get back, men on February 25, I'm off to Paris. I'll be shooting, but 111 have time to work on the record deal and do some shows." Byrnes just wrapped up several dates with Robert Cray in the Pacific Northwest, all "soft- seaters" where people come for the music, not the beer. "I first met Robert Cray in Portland in 1977, and we'd bump into each other in Gastown in the '80s — when I was at the Spinning Wheel he'd be at the Savoy and vice versa — and when his people were casting about for the opening slot on his tour my name came up. He chose me himself when he heard I was available." His latest album. That River is a master blending of R&B, country and blues, and is nominated for a Juno award. The video has done well on NCN and radio stations have been adding it to their playlists. "You just have to keep working on it, and once you get the exposure it snowballs." *** Burlington native Ken Mun- shaw is on Susan Aglukark's current B.C. concert tour, which started Monday at Massey Theatre and includes two Chilliwack Arts Centre dates, Feb. 12-13. He called The Star Monday to observe that B.C.'s "great" after "freezing" with Aglukark on the last leg of her Ontario concert tour. Munshaw has been working for the past ten years at his studio, recording film scores and the like, Watch it for the kids ^^RiEjyC^r^ f Feb. 10 & 11, 1996 Plaza of Nations Broadcast live on BCTV & CHEK Celebrating 30 years of helping B.C.'s special children but his first MCA album took off last year, led by the Sun Comes Up smgle. That record took off on both radio and the NCN cable network, and the new one, Danville Line is steadily moving up the charts since release four weeks ago. "Sun Comes Up was a little too nice, an older tune that my producer insisted was a hit single. I couldn't hear it myself — we all change and I think my newer stuff is a bit weightier in content, lyrically, more colouring that I can get in to." Danville Line was inspired "by Robbie Robertson and The Band - - I have family roots in the west as well as down in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania — and I thought it would be interesting to write about going south today on the rail line that used to take troops south in the Civil War, comparing those times to today." He said he finds it fascinating to see how different cultures cross-pollinate: "Country music is the pop music of right now. I grew up on rock and roll, midwest roots like Mellencamp, and a lot of that influence is integrating back into new country. It's like the French Canadian culture, the Cajuns that made their way south. New Orleans, even guys like Harry Connick Jr. have a strong mix of Canadian culture coming back up, finding its way into each other's art." Munshaw normally does 180 shows a year, dating back to summers he spent in Ontario's northern cottage country. And Aglukark "is incredible, a real honey. She's got more of a pop audience, but she's a new idiom." The Jan. 21-28 benefits for musician and theft victim Andreas Schuld brought out 400 supporters and netted $5,000 to help replace some of the $30,000 in recording studio equipment he lost, but, "It triggered something in many of us," said musician Shawn Soucy. "Many of my friends have had equipment ripped off. Andreas' was the last straw." It has now resulted in a new web site for Schuld and other musicians who've been ripped off: Join the Fun Times with Mr. Canada's Touring Network To Canada's Newest Premier Casino in Regina 6 days & 5 nights $299 ONLY GST Based on double occupancy Less $100 rebate at Casino Includes transportation, travel & accommodation Booking deadline Feb 10/96 for tour leaving Mar 26/96 Call Sharon at 421-8944 call http://web20.mindlink.net/ pha/stlngear.htm.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES Township firm on dinging city folks double LANGLEY - Complaints about the township's policy of charging city residents twice as much for recreation programs continue to flow in from city residents, but township councillors remained unmoved Monday evening. "I'm not going to apologize (for the policy)," said coun. Heather McMullan, who said there have been no complaints from township residents and there was no reason for the township to "subsidize" city residents. Coun. Muriel Arnason took a more conciliatory approach: "There's a lot of unhappiuess. It's a strain on our relations (with the city). We should cooperate for the good of the children." Township council had launched the double-fee policy on city residents after they said they were provoked by the city council's unexpected withdrawal from funding 22 percent of the Civic Centre's operating deficit. Several township-city meetings have failed to resolve the matter, but couns. Mel Kositsky and Steve Ferguson said there would be another meeting in March on the issue. 'jjjjfe City residents Nadine Kore- man and Dianne Gillis wrote township council this week, complaining that the policy had caused program enrolment to drop and classes to be cancelled. "Stop all the petty bickering... We are all Langleyites, are we not?" wrote Gillis.

EVENTS ANNOUNCED Local arts umbrella wraps around wide talent range LANGLEY - The Langley Arts Council is an organization that represents and supports the arts in Langley. Member groups represent a wide variety, ranging from the Langley Camera Club to the Footlight Players, the Aldergrove Heritage Society to the Volya Ukrainian Dance Society. General meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 8 pm. Until recendy these meetings took place in the recital hall of the Langley Community Music School, and a new "permanent" location is being sought due to the closure of the recital hall. The meeting agenda each month includes a presentation from a member group, a short business meeting, and an opportunity for member groups to announce and promote their current and upcoming activities. The January meeting opened with a half hour presentation by Orff students from the Langley Community Music School. The Orff program intrigues, challenges and delights children, aged 3 to 10 years, through the use of songs, games, speech, movement and instruments. The Langley Community Music School, founded in 1969, is a non-profit organization committed to providing the highest quality of musical education to the community. It enhances cultural development and fosters an environment where personal growth and cooperation are nurtured. During the meeting, Tom Scot- tnicki, president of LCMS, updated the members present on the status of the proposed Cultural Centre for the Township of Langley. Council approved the new Cultural Centre at their December 4 meeting, subject to obtaining an acceptable financing strategy and the negotiation of an operating agreement with the music school, which were subsequently approved at the January 22 township council meeting. Langley Arts Council is involved in the following activities/initiatives: the Arts, Cultural & Heritage Directory, should be published by late spring; Scholarship applications have been sent out to all schools, deadline February 29,1996; the first Arts Showcase of music, drama, dance and art is scheduled for April 12 and 13 at Brookswood Secondary, tickets available from LAC members or through the office. Member groups announced the following activities: Downtown Langley Merchants Association - •Chinese New Year parade February 10; Foodight Players — "Welcome Home" LAC night March 15; Langley Players - "Eat Your Heart Out" LAC night March 10; Artistic License - "Joy of Discovery" exhibit at Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre to February 12; Langley Camera Club - the February slide show will be on the Queen Charlotte Islands; Langley Centennial Library - Community Book Sale is February 17; Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre - "Our Architectural Heritage" exhibit opens February 20; Langley Community Music School — Annual Music Festival from February 3 to 11; Langley Family Services — May 10 program for International Women's Day will feature three singers; Langley Field Naturalists — Owls & Owl- ing in BC February 16.

FEBRUARY 7,1996 13 New office building approved MZS?PPlans,m™ve anhe,f^ CJ MURRAYVILLE - Council The oroDertv will be ALDERGROVE - There were no objections at a development permit hearing for Gabrielle Lacelle's plans for a new office building at 27233 - 29A Avenue. The 0.23 acre site is already zoned commercial, and the permit hearing regarded such matters as building and landscape plans. The one-storey professional office building, totalling 2,728 square feet, would have two units. One would be used by Lacelle for her chiropractic practice, established here several years ago at a nearby commercial building which she currently rents. The application has complied with recommendations and regulations of the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee, as well as Langley design and sign guidelines. Large cedar trees at the rear are to be retained and underplant- ed with various shrubs and flowers, and a stormwater management plan has been drawn up. Vehicle access is to be from 29A Avenue. Township council also heard no objections to the permit hearing for Surrey Cedar Ltd.'s relocation to industrial-zoned property at 23853 Fraser Highway. The lumber remanufacturing and storage plans for 2.78 acres include a 500 sq. ft office and two similar sized buildings for workshops and accessory storage of small cedar wood products. MURRAYVILLE - Council authorized sale of municipal road allowance to 413594 B.C. Ltd. this week, at a price of $77,000. Recyclers now take all paper LANGLEY - Curbside pickup of recyclables will expand to include mixed paper, beginning Feb. 5, said deputy mayor Trudi Campen, Monday. Yellow bags for mixed paper such as magazines, eggboxes and flyers will be delivered to residents this week. The blue bags will continue to be used for newspapers, and the blue boxes will continue to accept selected plastics, glass and metal. "This is a good news item," said Campen. "We've been waiting some time now for this expansion." The property will be amalgamated with the numbered company's office complex development, adjacent to municipal hall and the Civic Core development of an arts complex. Company shareholder, coun. Heather McMullan, excused herself from the debate, such as it was, and coun. Steve Burton was not present at the meeting. Councillors also debated the Fraser Valley Regional Library's recent report on the status of their headquarters in Abbotsford. Coun. Muriel Arnason said the report showed that the building's condition was "good" and she questioned the township's request to have the library HQ relocated to the Civic Core arts complex. However, McMullan pointed out that the building's mechanical services were in "poor condition... we'd all be thrilled if the headquarters were moved to Langley." Freedoms not to be promoted in township LANGLEY - The public has the right to access information on who contributed to municipal political campaigns and the financial interests of councillors, but council isn't going to do anything about making the public aware of their rights under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act Coun. Muriel Arnason's suggestion that a brochure on the issue be produced by the township failed to even get a seconder, Monday, and the motion died. Arnason said, "No charge should be made for such public service information" and said it could be "inserted into parks and recreation brochures which are regularly distributed throughout the community."

A "miscellaneous fee" bylaw establishing prices for RCMP services received three readings, and includes such costs as $500 for a "traffic analysis report" that might be requested by a litigant. Coun. Muriel Arnason questioned the move to a "business plan for the RCMP" but administrator Jim Godfrey said the rates were "comparable in the marketplace." Along with approval of a new sign control bylaw, council okayed a new municipal ticket system for infractions. The Road claims worst ever! VANCOUVER - Minister of Transportation and Highways Jackie Pement is making a plea to B.C. drivers to slow down and take more care on the road, following the worst month for ICBC claims in the corporation's 22- year history.

Steve Ferguson said a recent meeting of the Concerned Citizens of Langley gave an update on the status of their opposition to on-site mushroom composting. B.C. Supreme Court recently upheld the township's stopwork order on composting facilities under construction at T&T Mushroom's 232 Street farm. Ferguson said his next move would be pushing for provincial legislation to protect groundwater and streams. Victoria recendy enacted stringent regulations regarding manure handling, however, groundwater protection legislation has been mired in controversy over the past couple of years. Ill 1>S^>. - lengthy sign bylaw regulations are not yet enacted, or available in brochure form to the public, however, infractions of the various sections will be set at $75 a pop. There are 22 sections related to "oversize signs" and one section each for signs that are prohibited, erected without permit, erected contrary to permit conditions, not maintained or hazardous. Coun.

Appointments were made by board of directors chair, Greg Halsey-Brandt, of Richmond <&&_____ DAWSON CREEK - The NDP's current Island Highway advertising campaign is a misleading waste of tax dollars aimed at helping Glen Clark's leadership bid, BC Reform leader Jack Weisgerber said. The Island Highway promotional campaign has a budget this year of $350,000, joindy funded by the Ministry of Employment and Investment ($150,000), the Transportation Financing Authority ($50,000) and the Ministry of Transportation and Highways ($ 150,000). "Taxpayers are offended by Clark's self-serving ad campaign extolling the BC 21 Island Highway project," Weisgerber said. "It s a total waste of $350,000 that has everything to do with politics and absolutely nothing to do witii public service. 'The project is already running at $100-million over budget, yet the ads claim the highway is being built 'on time and on budget' The fact is, the entire project is an off-budget BC 21 boondoggle that will really cost in excess of $3-billion by the time it is finally paid for - three times more than the budget suggests. "I would encourage all taxpayers to call the information line cited in the ads (1-800-668-2800) to let the NDP know exactly bow they feel about this abuse of their' money." OWNYOURl OWN HOME.

Although Canadians invested a record $20.9-bfllion in RRSPs in the 1994 tax year, taxfilers are using less than 15% of their contribution limit, according to Statistics Canada. The government allows RRSP buyers until Feb. 29 to make a contribution that can be deducted from last .year's earned income, resulting in a deduction of tax payable. While financial planners urge taxpayers to contribute on a monthly basis throughout the year, many defer their purchase until the last minute. For the 1995 tax year, the maximum contribution is the lesser of $14,500 or 18% of earned income, minus pension adjustments. The $ 154-billion contribution ceiling - representing potential tax deferments of some $35-billion (equal to this year's federal government deficit) - is arrived at by combining current deduction entitlements with unused deductions carried forward from previous years. "There's absolutely no chance of Canadians getting anywhere near their limit", says Janice Penner of Investors Group Inc., one of Canada's leading financial planning companies. "It's in the interests of every taxpayer to use as much of their contribution limit as they can, even if it is only a small portion of what they're entitled to," says Ms. Penner, who is Director of Marketing of the Winnipeg-based financial planning organization and mutual fund distributor. "In addition to an immediate tax benefit, RRSP investors are building financial security for their retirement," she adds. "It's one of the most generous tax deferral programs in the world, and it's good to see that more Canadians are taking advantage of it" M EAI,TH ' By JULIE EDWARDS.

Walter Pearce* Sun Life of Canada Business: 859-1710 Home: 856-4260 The Sun Life Companies 5pt*um United Mutual fund* Several comments from participants at a recent Abbotsford RRSP seminar seem to mirror the feeling many Canadians have about the mobility and flexibility of their RRSPs. Several of them said that they wished they were in certain investments, but they felt limited by the rules of RRSPs. Some also said that their retirement assets were "locked-in" to an RRSP and they had no access to it. It is true that RRSP eligibility has historically been limited to certain investment varieties that gave investors few options when choosing RRSPs. This led investors to seek the safe, but gen- erally low-return investments such as GICs and Government Bonds. And, RRSPs gained the reputation of being static accounts. Old habits seem to die hard! Today, things have changed drastically. Stocks, mutual funds, stripped bonds (Federal, Provincial, Municipal, and Corporate), are just some of the investment types that can be used for your RRSP. The only rule that still exists is that our investments contain a maximum of 20% foreign content. This limitless variety and flexibility in your RRSP should be used as an advantage to get the best rate of returns for your hard- earned assets. Fojc-iinstance, for those, who still adhere to the principal of safety, instruments, such as stripped bonds, can provide a better return rate compared to traditional GICs, and still retain the safety you desire. For those, who seek better returns and can handle some risk, exposure to corporate equities )m MIDLAND WALWYN LUE CHIP THINKING1 GORDON STENNER Financial Advisor 32555 Simon Avenue, Suite 200 •V2f__f_Y B 852-2222 Member - Cenedan Investor Protection Fund 24 HOUR: 1-800-201-2221 '■ BLUE CHIP THINKING Is • trademark of Mdand Wahvyn Capital Inc. through common shares or mutual funds can add RRSP flexibility and deliver potentially superior returns. Changing investment types in the face of economic changes is absolutely essential if you are to stay ahead of the impacts of inflation. For instance, a large bank is currently offering a 5-year GIC at 5.75%. Investors seeking safety are satisfied, but considering that inflation has averaged about 6% in the last 30 years, your assets may actually be eroded over time with these types of investments. With interest rates extremely low, and expected to stabilize or even go lower, this type of investment is not a wise choice for 1996. All economic factors are now pointing to conditions in 1996 being excellent for a very good Canadian equities market. With interest rates very low, a stabilized dollar and an optimistic export industry, stocks and mutual funds could be a great bet this year for your RRSP. It is important to spread at least some of your money into instruments that will outperform the effects of inflation. So take the time this year to review your investment portfolio, no maUer how small or large. And take advantage of the limitless flexibility and mobility in your RRSP by placing yourself in better quality investments.

It was a very important win for the Bruins, as the first team to get four points advances to the next series. The second game of the series will be played in Aldergrove on Thursday, Feb.8. Game time is 8:15 pm. The teams skated to a 2-2 opening period draw. Mare Windle put the Bruins on the scoreboard, whipping in a pass from Josh MacKnee. Matt Roberts- jammed in his own rebound for Aldergrove's second goal, after taking a nice pass from linemates Ryan Costello and Matt Keith. The Bruins, .uncharacteristically, ran into penalty problems in the second period, incurring four consecutive minors. Fortunately they killed them all off. The Royals did, however, score 2 quick even strength goals early in the second to take a 4-2 lead into the third period. Carl Ammann moved in from the point and fired a Mike Roberts' pass into the Royals net. The goal was the Bruins only power play marker of the game and was also assisted by Mark Cassibo. The two teams battled back and forth for the next seven minutes before Marc Windle scored the big tying goal for the Bruins with only 6:33 left. Josh MacKnee again got the puck to Windle, who skated out from the corner before beating the Royal's goaltender on the far side. D-man Mike Haber started the play on the game winning goal as he carried the puck deep into the New West zone. Centre Matt Keith pounded the loose puck into the net for the winner with only 1:03 left on the clock. Ice Chips: The Bruins held the edge in play throughout the game but were thwarted by the strong netminding of the Royal's Gary Beekenkruger...Davis Parley, fresh off the sick list, gave the Royals some of their own medicine. He entered the game with his team down 4-2 and shut the Royals down for the rest of the game...Marc Windle sparked the Bniins. He scored two goals and played all night with determination and confidence...The line of Mark Cassibo-Mark Roberts- Simon Whitlock moved the puck around well all night, though they got few rewards for their efforts...The over all effort by all the- players was solid as they refused to quit They kept fighting for the puck and for territory, and the result was a true team victory.

Game #1 Hewitt & Co. A2 Bruins vs Coquitlam A3. Scott Mathieson started in goal for the Bruins. The first period was scoreless, as Scott Mathieson made several super stops to keep them off the score sheet. Coquitlam scored the first goal and then scored while shorthanded to go up 2-0. Jacob Harder gets the Bruins first goal with an assist to Ryan Martin. Coquitlam goes up 3-1, and then Ryan Martin from Cody Hopkins makes it 3-2 Coquitlam.

The Bruins Isaac Mangone started in goal. Poco jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after the first five minutes. The Bruins regrouped and worked as a team. The Bruins' Jake Morris scored the first goal, with Cody Hopkins shooting it in from the point. There was end to end action and great goaltending at both ends, the score after two periods 2-1 Poco. The Bruins continued to work hard, and the Bruins' Jake Morris scored a spectacular goal unassisted to tie the game at 2-2. The Bruins did score the winning goal with 1:26 left, but for some reason it didn't count. Anyway good game 2-2. Game #3 vs Port Moody A2. Yikes, the team went nuts.

Game #6 vs Mission A2. The Hewitt & Co Bruins played the Mission A2 team on Tuesday. The Mission team was in a higher tier and would be a good test for our team. The first period had only one goal from Mission to end 1-0. The Bruins' Isaac Mangone was looking sharp. The second period had the Bruins' Riley Hogan storm the net and get the rebound in the slot and backhand it in the net for his iirst goal playing Atom Rep hockey. The score was 2-1 Mission after two periods.

People, who grow produce on their property, can sell their product without a business licence, but selling produce not grown on their property is prohibited. At a special meeting of council on December 6, staff was asked to look into business licence fees for agricultural use. It was all in vain however because provincial legislation does not allow business licences for farms. Councillors agreed to amend the Business licence bylaw to exempt farming and the sale of produce grown on the property from requiring a licence, and to prohibit tbe sale of produce not grown on the property. Councillor Ken Funk, who cast the only contrary vote, was very adamant that produce sellers should be charged for a business licence. 'It's a question of fairness," he said. "Either charge everyone or charge no one." 1 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY 7,1996 23 Dr. John Twidale recently delivered the first foal of the year for Jim and Judy McArthur of Aldergrove's Battle Creek Farm. The foal in his arms is the first-bom for their stakes winning thoroughbred stallion, Devil On Ice, as well as the first for mare, Mary In The Morning. Twidale, who's helping the foal find its way to the "milk bar," is hoping to make the transition from veterinarian to MLA as the Reform candidate in this riding. 1 BLONDE I LOVE *Kt LITTLE BASEMENT WORKSHOP/ IT'S SO REACEFUL.ANPISET THINS* ACCOMPLISHED I SHOUIP BRIMS A RADIO DOWN MERE.'
