UTILITY BILL DUE DATES UNCHANGED *J---MiiWM}i '.hi . Public fury defused as council backs off LANGLEY - Township council backed off a change to utility billing process that had large numbers of irate property owners lined up in protest at Mondays meeting. Council quickly defused the matter by announcing that due dates for utility notices would revert back to July 4 of each year. Council will also "compensate pre-paids" by allowing a five percent discount to those who meet the Marsch 31 date, with an additional one percent discount for each month prior to that date. Administrators had recommended moving the due date ahead, as a means of spreading the property tax burden over the year, but coun. Muriel Arnason's warning that many would see it as "dou- ble-billingn went unheeded by the majority of council. The change was announced at the beginning of the 7 p.m. meeting, but some of the departing public expressed anger that they didn't get a schance to vent their spleens at ■ councilors. One of them, Steve Connor stuck around till the meeting wrapped up, past 10 p.m., to ask to speak on the matter. Connor blasted council because the quick implementation meant his annual business planning was thrown out of whack, and said the March due date also was "poor" as this is federal taxes submission time. He went on to question the "inefficiency" of sending out two utility notices each year and suggested it was a means of "hiding the fact that rates are going up." Mayor John Scholtens agreed with Connor's argument that the matter had been dealt with "insensitively" and offered council's apologies. Professional development and continuing education for people in the childcare field will be the focus of a family daycare conference, "Room to Grow", which will be held at the UCFV Mission centre on Saturday, March 11 from 8 am to 4 pm.

Cuts get mixed reviews OTTAWA - Will the finance minister's "harshest budget since tlie end of the Second World War" be enough to stave off the wolves of the international money markets, while still maintaining a quality standard of living for the average Canadian? It will take time for the effects to filter down and be measured but die initial reactions appear to be cautiously positive. There is some bitter medicine for the west coast, with CFB Chilliwack's closure and major layoffs coming to the civil service, but the public was expecting this. Curiously, some of the , strongest ., criticism is over planned replacement of the $2 bill widi a coin, what some are calling a doubloonie or twonie. Labour unions, facing the loss of 45,000 government jobs, have uniformly denounced the budget. The Seniors' Coalition has offered its support of the budget, "with reservations" over its impact on programs and services to seniors. B.C.'s Chartered Accountants gave Paul Martin a "B" calling the budget a "good start." Provincial and municipal spokespersons said they feared what the federal cuts might mean to their service and tax levels. Township mayor John Scholtens said it could amount to just more "down-loading" on local government, but expressed pleasure with the federal moves to slash the deficit. "It had to be done:*'And B.C. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell said that the provincial government could make up the cuts to its federal transfer payments by cancelling three NDP programs that are costing it nearly $400-million. The provincial government said there may have to be major cuts to education and health spending, but Campbell said the same amount of money could be found by cancelling die Fair Wage Policy, Health Labour Relations Accord and the Island Highway Agreement, "which all benefit political friends of the NDP... the NDP are directly responsible for die sad financial state B.C. finds itself in today." The reality is that the crucial issue for the average citizen is the affordability of interest rates, especially as it relates to the typical family's biggest investment, their mortgage on their home. If the federal government canskeep its triple-A credit rating and keep interest rates and the Canadian dollar stable relative to the USA, that will be enough to keep most of us healthy and happy.

Council is pushing through an amendment to their zoning bylaws to try to stop the second application in its tracks, by eliminating a "gray area" that permits crematoria as a secondary or accessory use for a funeral home in C-3 zoned lands. Under intense pressure from hostile residents, council attempted to stop Personal Alternative with an appeal to B.C. Supreme Court in December, but the courts refused to involve themselves in what they saw as a political issue. This has opened the doors to developers who evidendy see this town as the future crematoria capital of the Fraser Valley. Two councilors, Heather McMullan and Steve Burton had initially argued in Personal Alternative's favour, believing that a local competitive service was desirable. Now they've seen the error of their ways, joining council in supporting the new bylaw amendment, and ironically, Personal Alternative would benefit from the resulting monopoly. There is also litde doubt that its competitors would launch legal challenges to any bylaw amendment that would restrict open and free competition in the business. Compounding the township's headaches was a large delegation of . Aldergrove Concerned Citizens, Monday evening, who are still bitterly fighting the Personal Alternative development. Neighbouring residents Erik Simonsen, Giles Chater, Pauline Federico, and Geri and Brian McGrath cited a lengthy list of grievances. At heart of their submission was their doubt that - the crematorium fitted the definition of accessory or secondary Federico said the company's' advertising throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley supported the opponents' contention that the crematorium was actually a primary use. "This contravenes (township bylaw) accessory use definition." Cnater said the company misrepresented itself as "low cost" when another company based in Mount Lehman charged considerably less for its funeral services. He also said Personal Alternative's membership in the Funeral Home Association of B.C. had been revoked: "What is there to protect the public?" Geri McGrath said the province has new regulations coming into effect in May and asked whether the company would be required to meet them and which level of -government would monitor operations to ensure there's no air pollution. "We've been promised there'll be no odour, no ash, and the minute there is they're out of diere," said mayor John Scholtens. "We will not tolerate that and we'll try to find a way to monitor it." Coun. Steve Ferguson referred to residents' complaints about lack of parking at the funeral home, noting that bylaw enforcement officers had recendy ticketed construction workers at the site for parking illegally on the street. Brian McGradi said Personal Alternative was a "franchise operation, offering discounts for quantities referred to the crematorium. The funeral services are • held elsewhere." He said a spokesman for the Funeral Home Association of B.C. told him that they had taken away Personal Alternative's membership, which prompted Scholtens to suggest that the membership become a requirement before the township .issued a business licence. Administrator Jim Godfrey said he would investigate making this requirement part of the permit process.

The matter is a major bone of contention among councilors, but coun. Steve Burton said he would withdraw his motion calling for a transit review while awaiting the report. Administrator Jim Godfrey said a major review would require specialized consultants and said his office would determine what the costs may be for the services. - Mini-buses promised by transit officials have been delayed at least a year, because the manufacturer involved is currently in receivership.

"Gravel trucks cause a lot of wear and tear," said Scholtens. Much of the Abbotsford gravel trucked through here is destined for Langley township developments, as the municipally owned pits are used primarily for township projects such as road-building. Debate was prompted by amendment of its legal agreement with VCfest Coast Aggregates Ltd. for continued removal from its 27413 - 8 Avenue pit. Coun. Steve Ferguson said he "can't support it," but was overruled by council after administrators pointed out it was a minor amendment.

By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD -Fraser Valley West Reform MP Randy White is calling the Liberals the 'litde government that couldn't,' because they could have balanced the budget but they didn't. White says the immediate reaction is semi-positive in that he (Paul Martin) tried, but the future reaction will be negative in that he didn't try hard enough; According to White there were many things the government could have cut but didn't. Grants to multiculturalism could have* been cut by $22 million. Bilingual ism, which costs the country three quarters of a billion dollars a year, could have been cut by over $300 million. The department of Indian Affairs, which at one time was slated to be cut all together, was actually given an increase of 12%. As well, social programs which generate huge amounts of government waste were not cut at all. "The bottom line is that the government is still over spending by about $25 billion dollars a year. The money markets are going to react to this and call the country bankrupt." White also said that this budget is coming from a government that has promised a lot, but done litde. "They promised not to sign NAFTA, but they did. They promised not to sign GATT, ,but they did. They promised to get rid of the GST, and they didn't. They didn't fix MP pensions either." He also claims that even though there were no direct income tax increases, people will find their incomes will be less because of new taxes such as the 1.5<r/l "gas tax on top of the GST, new flight taxes, and increased taxes on corporations and banks which will ultimately be passed on to the consumer. "The budget could have been much tougher." he said 14-year-olds in the slammer SURREY - Two 14 year-olds from Vancouver have been arrested following a wild car chase from Surrey to White Rock, last Sunday , February 26, at about 2 a.m. Police gave chase to a stolen vehicle from the area of 9 Avenue and l6b Street to Vidal and Columbian, where three youths fled from the vehicle. Police used dogs to track them and found two hiding in the area. Charges of Possession of stolen property and theft of a vehicle have been recommended for one suspect and Possession of stolen property, Theft of a vehicle, Breach of. probation and Breach of an undertaking have been recommended for the odier.

MARCH 1.1995 Tough, but necessary By RUDY LANGMANN Finance minister Paul Martin's budget speech was a bit of a surprise, a pleasant surprise. But as they say, when you stop being surprised or even amazed you stop living- While we feel empathy for the many thousands of federal civil servants who will be losing their jobs in the near future, we can't help but ask ourselves the fundamental question: If Canada all of a sudden will be able to survive with some 45,000 fewer bureaucrats, why couldn't we have done that a long time ago? The country is not going to suffer by their departure. On the contrary, this move might indeed start us on the road to economical stability and by and by a general recovery of industry and commerce. And hopefully the majority of the civil servants who now will be getting the sack will possess enough individual versatility to fit into new and more productive jobs within the private sector. Bureaucracies, be they governmental or otherwise, are by their very nature non-productive. They cost an enormous amount of money to maintain and they also in other ways tend to hinder economic progress and the well-being of a country and its people. The departure of 45,000 civil servants will mean annual savings to the federal taxpayers of billions of dollars, not only in Treasury payroll reductions but also in the resulting cutbacks in programs. Many of these programs were totally unnecessary, frivolous or duplications at best. Obviously, this is not going to solve Canada's economic dilemma. Only a small portion of the country's annual deficit has been cut, bringing the shortfall down to some $32-billion. The debt clock keeps "ticking away at breakneck speed. It will take years of tough measures by government to get the country back on true economic recovery. But it is ia start. ' Perhaps Reform's Preston Manning could or would have done more if he had been the prime minister. Hard to say. For the time being, we tip our hat to Martin. He's the first federal finance minister in more than two decades who has had the guts to do something about an tenuous situation. Mind you, he did not have much of a choice. Pressured, as he was, from one side by the international money market and from the other by highly disenchanted Canadian taxpayers. The road ahead is not going to be an easy one. As a people we will all have to make sacrifices in the years to come. And many communities and businesses across the country are already starting to smart. Here in the Fraser Valley, cities like Chilliwack and its immediate surroundings will suffer economically from the closure of Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack at Sardis. We will also see our share of civil servants being added to the list of the unemployed and eventually joining our other welfare recipients. Nevertheless, it had to be done. Sooner or later. Now we can only hope that it's not all just a big lie and that the remaining mandarins or top bureaucrats (they'll always be there) wont be allowed to rebuild their empires in all secrecy. Then it would all have been for nothing. If the federal government should truly deliver on its promise of eventual deficit elimination and following that actual debt reduction, then we will all be better off. The Canadian people is strong and will be capable of moving on to bigger and better things once the onerous tax burden has been lifted from its back. Provincial and even regional and municipal governments would do well in following the example of Ottawa. £Otf, Al^WAt&z (2&i\e?A&ef2 Tri& lTh& he^t :&i!ixig$ iyt life &re>£ree if <^V£(2i\J/v\£NT WIUU FINC? A ^AY To TAX TrAZfA Welfarism encouraged: Weisgefber VICTORIA - The NDP government is encouraging welfare dependency through measures that have added nearly 100,000 people to the welfare rolls since 1991, says the leader of the provincial Reform Party. Jack Weisgerber says the NDP has allowed single employable men to abuse the system and single parents to receive welfare without looking for work at all. "The. government is encouraging people to dependency." said Weisgeroer. "But there seems to be a lack of support to get them back into the workforce." Weisgerber said the government had sent the wrong message when it allowed single parents to stay at home until their youngest child was 12. Reform social services critic Richard Neufeld seconded Ills leader, noting that with people on welfare receiving free dental and medical care it was hard for diem to get off social assistance into low-paying jobs.

"We must overcome our prejudices, our history," he warned. "If we don't, one imperative will overtake us - nationalism and war. For war isn't just somediing of die past (in western Europe); it can also be something of-the future."

Libraries take another hit By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - Anyone who's "surfed die Internet" can tell you there's an awesome amount of garbage to wade through to get to anything remotely interesting. Aside from the complaints that neo-Nazis and the like are slipping into this ocean of information with their hipwaders on, how does one bypass the miles of irrelevant info to hook into useful facts and opinions? These networks have the benefit of allowing every frustrated person with a modem an outlet for their opinions, but the overwhelming volume of it is beyond comprehension and dilutes the impact of the entries. The common characterization of "garbage in, garbage out" is a forgivable notion. Perhaps the same can be said for the ongoing debate over the Fraser >£uley Library Board's dilemma over its free distribution policy, which has now expanded to whether libraries should allow posting of public petitions. The library board is revisiting the free distribution policy, and a decision is expected March 8 .-over whether to maintain the ban of stacks of free publications in its lobbies, or to adopt a new policy of allowing it except for sexually explicit materials which would be kept out of the reach of youngsters at the librarians' discretion. Township councilors say they would be happy with the latter decision, but this week they wresded with the issue of whether the public should be allowed to post petitions in libraries. The discussion was provoked by a letter from FVRL executive director Judith Hare, questioning whether a petition from the MELANIE Campaign Society 'was acceptable to council. Coun. Muriel Arnason said it was ironic that this' issue should come up at the same time as the controversy over Xtra West. "Let the libraries alone." Coun. Heather McMullan said she was opposed to some of the ten points of the petition, and apparently saw no inconsistency in her support of coun. Trudi Campen's motion that library policy be amended to accept no pe - titions. McMullan had strenuous ly opposed Campen and the majority of council last month when council demanded that the libraries remove Xtra West from its free distribution areas. Coun. Steve Ferguson was the sole contrary vote against a new petition policy. "Fortunately there's copies of this petition in just about every store in the township for people to sign. And even if just one of the ten points came true, perhaps we could have saved Melanie." Melanie Carpenter's uncle, Michael West recendy moved from Aldergrove to Suney, and is a leading figure in the MELANIE campaign. Among the ten points in the petition are demands for elimination of statutory release, stiffer sentencing and a central registry, for violent offenders. The federal government is already moving on the eighth point of eliminating the "insanity, drunk or drugged defence." Current library policy for petitions is that the library board must approve — not endorse — any petitions posted, but that member councils must endorse the petitions. Editor, The Star, Sir, Last week we got the first of so called entrepreneurial activity; we thought we had paid the water, sewer, and refuse levy for a year but we find they were only paid for nine months. It has a bonus built in, as we are asked for $ 8.55 more than last year, or is that to pay for the $ 86o. increase for die mayor, and the $ 1,734. for the counsellors? They were not thinking of the taxpayers when they dreamt up extra billing. I would like to see the cost of making up separate utility bills, the postage to mail them out, when it could have been left on the tax form by pushing a few buttons on the type writer. There is diat non-tax source revenue that is proposed in the "entrepreneurial activity", could diat have something to do with tlie extra $ 855 on our wats^r levy? There are many property owners who don't have water or sewer but have refuse collection, getting a bill for $ 105- Let's not forget it is not a "tax", it is a "levy", and Uiereby it can qualify for a bonus. . At is "education" that is to blame. This country was built by people, some that signed their name with "X", but they could diink, Uiey did not tell you now you should live, what you could read, where you could smoke, if you smashed your thumb you were allowed to swear, that was between you and God, and they did not spend money they did not have. But then we elected "edueat- «sd" people; lawyers, real estate people, teachers, preachers, economists, engineers. That is when the trouble started. First they vote themselves hefty salaries, then they have to have fancy offices, then comes an army of bureaucrats that most of the time they dont know why they are there, but the administrators have to have them so they know what they are to do. Then they start passing laws, to tell us how we should live, where we can live, what we can read, how we should talk, where we cannot smoke, where we can't stand or sit, where you can build your house, how it must look, how many rooms, and then they have to have another army of police to enforce their laws and protect themselves.' They even passed a Bill of Rights to protect the criminals; the aboriginals also benefit from die Bill of Rights. They select a committee from their own class to recommend that Uiey should vote themselves hefty pay raises every year. TED HANSEN Aldergrove Change, now! Editor, The Star, Sir, I am die father of the. late Angela Richards. Angela was brutally murdered June 13, 1992 by a man who was released from prison after serving 2 1/2 years of a 6 year sentence for sexual assault. I believe that it is time for a change to the,criminal justice system. It is time for the victims and Uieir families to receive the same type of protection Uiat Uie criminal gets. I urge everyone that is upset by Uie enors and mistakes that are made in the justice system, ie.: early or mandatory release of known sex offenders, to contact their M.P. immediately.

Tlie' Wirrior's struck first with a great goal by centre Jeff Steer who was set up nicely by mid-fielder Brent Smirfitt mid way through the first half. Early in the second half, mid-fielder W.s Halliday put a well placed ball by the Langley goal tender to give the Wirriors a 2-0 lead. With the two goal lead, tlie Warriors played a well disciplined game and were able to pop another goal during a goal mouth scramble with David Bongers getting the last touch on die ball to send it across the goal line. It wasn't until late in die game, while Warrior team mate Nathan Steegstra lay hurt on the field after a hard check, that Langley was able to put a goal in of their own. Special recognition is made to mid-fielder James Hamilton and left winger Ryan Craig who bodi had an outstanding game.. This win puts die Aldergrove Warriors in Uie second round of die Provincial Cup play, to be played next week. This is a single knockout playoff structure, thus diere is no room for errors.! On die same weekend, die Aldergrove VC&rriors entered die first round of dieir League Playoffs with an impressive win over die Surrey Strikers. The Warriors have always played tough against this Surrey team during regular season games, but had only managed one tie in diree matches against this team prior to the playoffs. Aldergrove started impressively and kept a lot of die play down at the Surrey end, when left winger Jason Chabot converted a centering pass to put Aldergrove up 1-0. After this it was Surrey's time to apply the pressure. Outstanding plays by defenders Mitch Sabiston and Chris Taylor kept die Surrey team off die score board. Still in the first half Wes Halliday, put the final tally on die score board widi a nice volley shot that rippled die net behind the Surrey goaltender. The second half of play belonged to Warrior's goaltender Keidi Psojd.

Along with Keidi, mid-fielder James Hamilton had anodier outstanding game displaying leadership and hard work throughout die game. Defender Ryan Sasyniuk and mid-fielders Sane Moews and Brent Smirfitt also had outstanding games. Hats off to the Bruins ALDERGROVE The Titan Construction Bantam 'A' Bruins featured two games in the past week and two team players scored hat tricks, just reward for their strong play. The Bruin team headed in to the weeks playoff action last Thursday in Port Coquitlam. They have played the Poco team tough all year with both sides and the 6-5 score in Poco's favour was indicative of the level of play. It was Tanner Rattray who provided the spark for Aldergrove with a hat trick in the game. Sandy Brown and David Haber had a goal and assist each while Chris Fox, Kevin Keith and Derek Ottoson provided helpers for Rattray's goals. Colby Smith backstopped the team keeping the Poco team on their heals as he smothered many good scoring opportunities. On Monday evening the Bruins hosted West Vancouver in a heartbreaking game. Hanging on to a 4-3 score Wjst Vancouver pulled their goalie and with eight seconds left in the game, scx>red to de the game. The Bruins deserved the win and on the nights play were robbed but as the French say -c'est la vie! It was Jason Ballantyne who was the spark plug in the game with three beautiful goals for a natural hat trick. Kevin Keith converted a pass from Dave Haber and Sandy Brown as he opened the scoring and then Ballantyne went to work. He scored his first goal at 14.-20 of the second assisted by Dave Haber and Nick Seguin. His next two goals were solo efforts as he scored both unassisted to put his team in the drivers seat. It wasn't to be, as the swarming West \&n team managed a late three on two break out of their end to put the puck high on T.O. Leakey who have made several outstanding saves on the evening. The game featured a lot of hard hitting and end to end action keeping the parents and fans well entertained throughout. The two wins this weekend was a result of some of the best play ever from the Warriors. At diis time the Warriors would like to thank all the parents and supporters who have been following the team and making each game feel like a home game. Best of luck in the balance of the cup games. ALDERGROVE - On Sunday, Feb. 26 Gold Key had the formidable task of meeting top- of-die-league Marlins A team. They have at present, seven players on the National Soccer Team, and have only lost one game earlier in the season. On the other hand Gold Key are going through a lean spell, due mostly to sickness and maternity leave, and Gold Key have only managed 11 or 12 players per game. So the table was set for the Marlins A team to feast on an under-staffed Gold Key squad. But alas, the wine turned to vinegar and the food lost its taste. Gold Key, as a team, refused an Spartans out of provincials LANGLEY - The provincials proved to be just out of reach for the Trinity Western University men's basketball team this past weekend. The Spartans gave their all, but two losses to Malaspina University College bumped them out of the running and ended their season. All- Canadian Marty Penninga led the Spartans whit weekend with 32 points and 13 rebounds. Fridays game saw Ray Kwok add 11 while Robere Gingras and Dean McClelland each added ten. The Mariners will go on to play Langara College for the B.C. Championships next weekend. invitation to the banquet. Playing with unprecedented vigor and intensity, they fought to keep the Marlins scoreless and were successful until die 3o minute mark of the first half when National Team striker Silvana Burtini with three checkers all around her, spun and shot all in one move for a brilliandy taken opening goal. She scored again just four minutes later. Half time score Marlins 2 - Gold KeyO. Gold Key rallied after a rest at the half, and had the wind in their favour.^but Gold Key with no subs and the Marlins making about 10 changes it was inevitable that Gold Key would tire. Marlins got their third goal 25 minutes into the second stanza. Gold Key, down to 10 players for the last 10 minutes, still played with much intensity and were very unlucky not to score when with the Marlins goalie down and beaten at the top of the box. The Marlins defence managed twice to clear it of the line. Coach John Deacon said, "Gold Key played their best ever game today. I am proud of each and everyone of them. They all deserve a first star." He added: "Silvana Burtini was the difference tcxday. without her in the Marlins side it would have been very close indeed".

His talented teammate "Speedy" Jake Morris scored two goals and one assist. Eric "Bubba" McGovern, usually the' starting goaltender for the Bruins, took a turn at center and scored one goal and one assist, for the Baby Bears. "Big" Brad 'Waters was a tower of strength on defence for the Bruins. He also chipped in with diree assists. Cody Olinek, Danny Kivinen, Kevin Bowen, Roy Arthur all recorded assists in die Bniins' victory. Ron Dietterlie, Danny Hunt, Kevin Church, Brent Hermus, Thomas Hynes, Giris Jensen, and Danny McArthur all played a good "team-game" for Dawson Brill.

Bantam Bruins are riding high ALDBRGROVE - The Pac Can Duty Free Bantam B Bruins are riding high after the first week of playoffs. The week started with a predictable loss in Provincial playdowns to Surrey BI. Surrey who finished second in Tier 1 were full value for their 14-3 win. We wish them good luck in their future games. The loss to Surrey put the Bruins into the President's Series playdowns and they are taking it seriously. Their first game on Feb. 23 was against Port Coquidam who had been their dosest rival all year. The Bruins struck first with a goal in the first minute by Kevin Roberts from Darren Caldwell. It was a very physical game and PoCo came back to tie it up before the end of die period. These two teams are very evenly matched and they exchanged goals in the second period when Darren and Kevin teamed up again, this time with Darren scoring. The two teams battled back and forth in the third and it looked like it would end in a 2-2 tie. With only 35 seconds left, Aldergrove got caught on a long line change while killing a penalty and PoCo scored. Aldergrove refused to quit and on the next shift Delayne Dupuis made a super pass to Brent Adams who was breaking in and Brent made no mistake in putting it away to de it up again. This very entertaining game ended in a 3-3 de. Well done, boys! Sunday night, Feb. 26, saw the Bruins playing host to Coquidam. This game proved to be another very close one with Coquidam scoring first. Darren Caldwell brought the teams to even score 1 1/2 minutes later with assists to Derek Day and Ryan McAdams. Coquidam went ahead early in the second period to make it 2-1. Aldergrove tied it up in the third period on a goal by Derek Day from Kyle Grant and Nathan Gole and it remained deadlocked until diere were only 2 minutes left in die game. The game to this point had been a very rough, chippy affair with emotions running high. Tlie tension increased when coach Tony Roberts called for a stick measurement on Coquidam. Coquitlam lost die call and were assessed with a minor penalty. The Bruins took .about 25 seconds to capitalize when Darren Caldwell notched the winner on assists from Derek Day and Kevin Roberts. Coquidam came back with a couple of chances but Derek Day took a breakaway pass from Kevin Roberts and Delayne Dupuis and put the insurance goal into an empty net. Final score 4-2 for Aldergrove.

A playoff chronicle By JOE MORRISON ALDERGROVE - The Atom B Hewitt and Co. Bruins wrapped up their first round of the playoffs with two games this week, against Port Moody. Aldergrove's first game had the home team ahead with a 1-0 series lead. Aldergrove, however, was unprepared for a first period rush by Port Moody which resulted in the visitor's first three goals. Port Moody had two more goals ' before Aldergrove finally got on the board. Todd Hagen sent it to Greg Hoffman in the corner. Hoffman fought off his check and centered the puck to Jordan Stangle who onetimed it past the goalie to cut Pon Moody's lead to four. Port Moody got one more goal to take a 6-1 lead into the third, when the home team struck once more in the third. Greg Hoffman grabbed a clearing pass on the boards then threw it towards the net. Jamie McKay caught up with it, then quickly wristed it over the goalies shoulder to make it 6-2 Port Moody. But Port Moody scored once more to win the game 7-2 and tie the series 1- l.That set up the final game of this round for Aldergrove, as they took on Port Moody on the road. Port Moody got off to a fast start, scoring a short handed goal but Aldergrove came right back with their own marker. Greg Neufeld fed the puck to Rich Pearce in the attacking zone. He fought off a scramble of defenders and then walked in for a short breakaway before putting it top shelf to tie the game 1-1. But Port Moody roared ahead with three unanswered goals to give them a 4-1 lead heading into die second. Aldergrove never gave up and fought back with die courage of a lion. They finally got one when Rich Pearce passed back to Joe Hogan on defence who blasted a low hard shot to the side of the net where Greg Neufeld completed the perfect tip-in play, deflecting it by the goalie to cut the lead to 4-2. The visitors pulled to within one at 4:34 when Jamie McKay grabbed the puck in the neutral zone then zoomed down the ice, split for a breakaway before tearing a shot over the goalie's right pad for the goal. The third period was a wild scramble to say the least. Aldergrove fought valiandy with the courage of desperation, raining shot after shot at the Port Moody goalie. Alas, t'was not to be. ljort Moody somehow hung on for die 4-3 victory. They moved on to the A tournament while the disappointed Hewitt and Co. Bruins headed to the B tournament. Bruins paint path to first ALDERGROVE - The Western Line Painting Atom 'A' Bruins finished the regular season in first place in their der. This meant that they had to wait to see who they would meet in the first round of the playoffs.. The Bruins played one exhibition game with North Delta and this game turned out to be a bit of a shoot out for Aldergrove. Danny Thomson started things off with a quick goal after getting a pass from Scott Sharp and Shaun Sieffert. Shortly after that Ricky Morrison put one in the net after Scott Sharp and Matthew Keith were able to get the puck over to him. Less than a minute later Shaun Sieffert got himself an unassisted goal. Jason McGovern was able to finish off the period with a goal to make the score 4 to 0. Ricky Morrison and Matthew Keith assisted on this goal. North Delta was able to score their only goal four minutes into the second period, but it was not long before the Bruins struck again when Russell McKinlay took a shot at the net and Jason Garrison put in the rebound. Shaun Sieffert scored one more to end this period at 6 to 1. Danny Thomson and Scott Sharp assisted him on this play. The third period had the Bruins picking up one more goal when Jason Garrison put the puck in the net after Matthew Keith and Kyle Olinek were able to make a nice play to get him the puck. Both goalies played well, Clinton Pahlke was in the net for the Bruins. The North Delta did a good job as well and the score would have been much higher had he not. The Bruins found out that they would have to play the Langley Eagles in back to back games, one on Wednesday night in Aldergrove and the next night in Langley. This should prove to be exciting hockey as Langley always put up a good fight for Aldergrove. The game started off fast with Shaun Seiffert scoring in the first half minute of the game. Danny Thomson and Scott Sharp helped with the assists. The play went end to end for the rest of the period with both goalies making some great plays and again if it hadn't been for the sharp play of the Langley goalie the Bruins would have had a high score after the end of the first. Langley tied things up in the first few seconds of the second period but Jason Garrison with the help of Matthew Keith and Kyle Olinek' got the lead back only seconds later to put the Bruins ahead by one again. The second and third period would stay this way with lots of exciting end to end play until Langley pulled their goalie in the last minute of play. Matthew Keith got the empty net goal to put the game out of reach for Langley. Kyle Olinek and Jason Garrison assisted on this goal. The next night was almost a repeat of the last game with the only thing changing was the names on the score sheet. Shaun Seiffert got one goal and Ricky Morrison got two. Danny Thomson, Scott Sharp, Jeff Toth, Shane Watson, Kyle Olinek, and Matthew Keith got the assists on these goals. These games were hart fought on both sides and it seemed that Langley might have scored at any time to take the win away from the Bruins. Clinton Pahlke played good again and helped our boys beat Langley in two straight and knock them out of the playoffs. The Western Line Painting Bruins will wait to see who they play in the round robin coming up in a couple of weeks.

Despite a great effort, the Spartans were unable to secure a medal and finished fourth in B.C. While diey are disappointed widi die loss, die Spartans are happy with the way they played. "It would have been nice to win," commented coach Barry Heidebrecht, "but we know we played well and can be pleased about that." Several of the players will be returning next year, and the team is already making plans for next season. By JEANNIE COLLINSON ALDERGROVE - For the second year in a row the Aldergrove Totems faced the Poppy Redhawks in die tide game of Saturday's Fraser Valley Zone Championships. For die second year in a row Aldergrove emerged victorious with a 54-53 win. The two teams had not met in regular league or tournament play this year but bodi kept a close eye on each other's successes throughout the season, predicting that diey would be facing each other in this final game. Poppy came out strong and took the lead eariy in the game but a push by Aldergrove in the final minutes of die first half and in tlie third period put them ahead. But in die fourth quarter Aldergrove saw a ten point lead disintegrate as the Redhawks, determined to win, first ded the game then went ahead by three points. With less than two minutes to play and with tenacious defence by the Totems team, Randy Nohr found his rhythm and let a shot go from behind the three point line and caught nothing but net to de the game. After stopping Poppy at the other end the Totems moved up the court and Cory Yurick, pressured by the Redhawks, found Randy open on the outside. His perfect pass gave Randy plenty of time to set his feet and let another three pointer find its way into the basket putting Aldergrove up by three with less than twenty seconds left on the clock. The Totems great defense kept Poppy away from the basket until, with eight seconds left they finally made their shot bringing them to within one point of tying the game. All year it has been Aldergrove's signature and once again their great defensive play came through as they were able to hold on to the lead for the final eight seconds, which seemed like an hour to the Totem fans but a blink of the eye to the Poppy fans. ;n,. i 1995 JETTA GL TURBO DIESEL Lease for $299/month Some standard features: • German-engineered 75hp 1.9L turbo charged diesel engine • "Premium" 8 speaker stereo/cassette sound system • Anti-theft alarm with ignition kill • Power central locks • Power assisted steering & brakes • Tinted glass • Split folding 60/40 rear seat .

After a difficult season the Bruins are coming out strong when it counts. The team is playing smart, disciplined, heads-up hockey,-and has netted themselves a win and a tie in thek first two of four playoff games. Thursday night at home it was Aldergrove facing West Vancouver in a game that, from the start promised to be entertaining. The teams matched each other shot for shot through the first period but West Van was first on the board with a powerplay goal. Before the period would end though, Paul Daley - assisted by Matt Roberts and Dustin Goodman - scored, bringing the game to a 1-1 de. Fast end-to-end play through the second, with Aldergrove leading on shots, did not add to the score. Then early in the third, Scott Robinson got the go-ahead goal, assist to Chris Colonval. Aldergrove held onto their lead until the final minutes of the game, when an unfortunate bit of luck saw Davis Parley make the initial save, only to lose control of the puck and see it bounce in for the tying goal. The game would end tied at 2-2. These two teams had not met prior to this night, so neither knew what to expect of the other. It rriade for a great game. There were no feelings of superiority nor intimidation on either side. The two met in the spirit that if they played their best, they had as good a chance as the other to win. So perhaps it was fitting that this one would end in a tie. There is a different story tell of our Saturday game in South Delta. The Bruins had not had a happy experience to date at this arena but were out to change all that Knowing South Delta to be a physical team, prone to resorting to chippy, behind the play stunts, the Bruins had to stay cool and not allow themselves to get drawn into it. It took a lot of willpower, but they were able to raise Uieir heads, time after time, and skate away from it. Even so, the officials managed to make many of the calls co incidentals. This is what we were up against, so while South Delta was busy hacking and slashing, Aldergrove was playing hockey. We out-shot them 11-1 in the first period, but their goalie, who had been their saving grace throughout the season, confounded us on each and every shot. The Bruins continued pressing them into the second and finally got one through with Aubrey Smith's shot from the point. South Delta got a tying goal with their third shot of the game. Shane Marchant, seeing very litde action to this point was caught off guard and went down early as they sent him a shot from the blue line. Davis Parley took over the net for the remainder of the period, but Shane would be back for the third. South Delta would not make it past either of the Bruins goalies for a second goal. Aldergrove, on the other hand, was not yet finished with them. Three more goals in the second period came from: Mike Roberts, with Paul Daley assisting; Matt Roberts, unassisted on a powerplay; and Martin Nicola, also on a powerplay, with assists to Aubrey and Matt. South Delta, perhaps seeing that they could not beat us from the penalty box, decided to play hockey with us in the third period. But it was too late for them. Shane was not going to allow a repeat of his earlier mishap, and his team mates had their game plan set and would not deviate from it. Although they managed to hold us through most of the third, we got the parting shot. A final goal from Matt Roberts (his second - again unassisted) with a litde over a minute left in play, wrapped up the game 5- 1 for Aldergrove. Monday night we are on the road again, this time to Port Coquitlam. Then home again Thursday to take on Mission. Spartan men take silver University long overdue here SURREY - Announcements of expanded facilities for advanced education in the Fraser Valley were welcome news for members of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. On February 2 Premier Mike Harcourt announced an allocation of $100 million to build a new university campus in Cloverdale, and new degree- granting status for Kwanden College" and University College of the Fraser Valley. "This acknowledgement of the growth and potential of the Fraser Valley was a long time coming, and is long overdue," said Ruth Boulton, president, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.. While the Fraser Valley's population is expected to double in the next 30 years, the region's post-secondary participation rate is less than two-thirds the B.C, average and less than the Canadian average, due largely to a lack of access to post-secondary educational opportunities in the region. In 1994 the FVREB commissioned a demographic study of people who had purchased homes in the Fraser Valley in a 12-month period. The study showed that 22.5 per cent of purchasers were college or vocational graduates, and 295 per cent had university degrees or some university training. "From this, one can conclude that people who have chosen the Fraser Valley lifestyle also value higher education," said Boulton. "We disagree with the government's position that a traditional university is not needed in the Fraser Valley. We think that a full university is needed in the Fraser Valley. LANGLEY - The Trinity Western University's men's volleyball team is celebrating after taking the silver medal at the provincial championships in Kelowna this past weekend-. The second-seeded Spartans played their first game on Saturday, where they defeated Douglas College 3-1 in the semi-finals before advancing to the final game, to lose to gold winners, Malaspina Mariners. Coach Ron Pike said, "Although losses are never easy I know that in a few months we'll look back on this year as being one of the best in our lives. Wj stressed teamwork all year and that's what got us where we are. We began die season with a lot of changes but ended as a group of guys who fought hard together, stuck it out as a team and showed a lot of class in all we did. I'm really proud and honoured as a coach to have been around a group of such hard workers this year."

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of the FRASER VALLEY Ill -'— ,,1.^^14 n.nJ'.v'i.iMf:....i-ii,r;^,'r,- Semester at regular price THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 1.1995 11 ABBOTSFORD - For the second year in a row, the University College of the Fraser Valley will be offering a spring semester in May and June. Classes will meet twice a week for three hours per session in order to fit a 13-week course into seven weeks. The good news for students -this year is that unlike last year, they won't have to pay higher- than-normal tuition fees for the spring semester. Tuition will be at regular rates (#36.82 per credit for lower4evel courses, $55.23 per credit for upper-level courses). When the spring semester was run on a trial basis in 1994, UCFV charged double the normal tuition fees in order to cover the costs of running the extra semester. This year, as a reflection of die popularity of die spring semester, resources have been shifted from the fall and winter semesters to fund it. The Ministry of Skills, Training, and Labour may also provide funding for the semester, but this has not been confirmed. "We're offering a spring semester again because it was a considerable success last year," says UCFV president Peter Jones. "Around 650 students were able to take courses diat wouldn't have been available otherwise. The major cridcism of last year was the higher tuition fee charged. Although we felt we had to charge them last year, we're philosophically opposed to differential fees, so this year we've decided to take the risk and charge regular fees. There is a good chance that the ministry will cover the deficit, but if it doesn't, we'll put a small amount of our 1995/96 budget towards it." Forty spring semester courses are being offered. Minimum enrolments for each course must be met in order for the course to run. The spring semester will run from May 8 to June 26, with an exam period from June 27 to July 3. All courses will be based at the UCFV Abbotsford campus. Courses will run Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday and will meet twice each week for diree hours per day. Hours of instruction will be from 8:30-11:30 am or 1-4 pm or 7-10 pm. Schedules will vary for a few courses. Spring semester timetables will be available March 1. Registration for current students begins March 15 (those who have taken at least one course in the winter '95 or fall '94 semester). Registration for new students begins April 3- You must pay all tuition fees when you register. Power Smart ^ur Home With A Zero-Interest Loan.

Set in tum-of-the-century Russia, the once wealthy Ranevskaya family is bankrupt and their estate is being auctioned to pay off debts. Their only hopes for recovery are a wealthy marriage for daughter Anya, a bequest from a rich aunt, or cutting the beloved cherry orchard to lease the land for summer cottages. However, the family continues spending frivilous- ly on a lifestyle they no longer can afford, and as they spiral obliviously down to the inevitable, they fantasize about the times when they were happy and carefree. On auction day, the family throws a party and guests reflect on the family's fallen status in society. The announcement by wealthy merchant, Lopakhin that he's bought the estate breaks through their dreamworld and the family and entourage prepare to depart to lead separate lives, unwittingly leaving behind the elderly, ill valet, Firs. The play stars Norman Browning, Nicola Cavendish and Robert Clothier, and runs to March 18.. For tickets call the box office, 873-3311.

Concert biz gets council's leg up LANGLEY - Township council voted in favour of getting into the concert promotion business, Moiisday, by offering a $1,300 loan and its support to a Langley Youdi Council dance, March 17 at west Langley Community Hall. Youth council chair, Eric Denison told councilors he needed the seed money to get activities for west Langley youths going, and submitted a budget for a dance to accommodate 300 kids from Mountain, Walnut Grove and Fort Langley Fine Arts schools. Langley Youth Council 'was started by the township and school superintendent to advocate on behalf of youths throughout the township, including Aldergrove. It meets regularly, and plans activities such as a forthcoming "Langleypalooza" as well as lobbying for transit improvements. Coun. Heather McMullan said the township sponsors teen dances elsewhere, including Brookswood and Aldergrove. Denison said these were success es he'd like to duplicate for West Langley: "There's not much for youth to do." He expected dance revenues would fund ongoing events on a self-sustaining basis, and councilors said a loan would be acceptable.

NO SURVEY NEEDED More gaming gets nay LANGLEY - Councilors Muriel Arnason and Heather McMullan want to survey local opinion on proposed provincial expansion of gaming, but the majority voted to simply adopt the stand of other GVRD members to oppose government slot machines in local bars. The GVRD has asked the province to keep the controversial video lottery terminals out of drinking establishments, and to "effectively enforce" removal of the 10,000 illegal machines that are purported to be in place in die region. A report from Alberta regarding dieir experience with a major increase in problems with gambling addiction because of diese machines was also quoted by councilors. Arnason and McMullan said local citizen input should be measured, but mayor John Scholtens said the township is already spending money on citizen involvement on other important local issues such as growth and taxation. Coun. Steve Ferguson said the public was always welcome to send a letter or delegation to counc.il on the issue, but there was no need to strike yet another committee when the majority of council wished to go along with the GVRD resolution.

And for those who enjoy Britain's equally witty -pop-meister, Nick Lowe, he's at the Town Pump Sunday night. Clever, tunny and so tuneful, these are two shows worth the money. Also coming up is the pairing of two. guitar masters, Buddy Guy and Sonny Landreth at the Commodore, April 15. Guy's just released his S'.ippin' In album of hot blues (Guy was an inspiration to the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Vaughn's former band helps out on the new Guy album). Sonny Landreth was last in Vancouver as a member of John Hiatt's Goners band, and has released two solo albums since including the latest, South Of I-10. Landreth's a hot Chet Atkins-style picker, but it's his amazing bottle-neck slide playing that earns him comparisons to Duane Allman, Ry Cooder and George Harrison. His Louisiana influences bring the mystique of the Deep South to a wider audience that enjoys the simple pleasures of rockin' out (Mark Knopfler sings and plays on a couple of tracks, as does Allen Toussaint). Landreth said die album's tide song is "sort of autobiographical, but it's really more about grace under pressure. The economy in Lafayette has gone from oil boom to bust, but people have endured with their spirited way of life, die joy of living. They work hard and they play hard and they've embraced a balance that I -tried to express in the line, "Life was a waltz that wouldn't let go." I haven't seen the new Whoopi/Barrymore/Parker flick, Boys On The Side, but the soundtrack is a stunner, featuring all current female stars like Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Chrissie Hynde, Sarah McLachlan, Annie Lennox, Cranberries, Indigo Girls and more. Raitt's version of Roy Orbi- son's Wilburys hit, You Got It definitely has it, and is a single, but there's not a bad tune among the lot. McLachlan does marvels with Tom Waits' Ol' 55 and Crow revives Clapton's Keep On Growing. Radney Foster has built a healthy rep, both with Foster & Lloyd and his subsequent solo career in country music. Looking like fellow Texan, Buddy Holly, he's a great writer and singer, and his new second album, Labor Of Love is a fine followup to Del Rio Texas 1959. The tide song is his new single and it's so pretty, one wonders what a superb CINEPLEX ODEON CINEMA GUIDE CLEARBROOK CINEMAS 32500 SOUTH FRASER WAY • 850 2233 SHOWTIMES VAUD MAR 3 - 9.1995 BILLY MADISON Nightly 7:25, 9:20.

By LARA BRODIE A strange diought went dirough my mind as I sat absorbing the images die movie screen dutifully flashed before me. I was tiiinking diat there is definitely somediing to be said for a good action film. You know, like Demolition Man, the type of film where you sit down to watch with a certain level of expectation and an hour and a half later you leave the theatre with diose expectations fulfilled. What has happened to that kind of movie? What has happened to me? I have been anxiously awaiting die arrival of "Miami Rhapsody" for awhile now. The trailer had me visualizing bright and cheer-- ful Florida sun, dazzlingly goofy dialogue and a certain amount of laughter. Wrong. It is my belief diat movie makers are in some sort of strange groove, it's like a big conspiracy, I may have stumbled on to somediing bigger than diat JFK incident. Hear me out and then I may have to go into hiding. I have been complaining for some time now that movie trailers are incredibly unfair to the public because it is there that we get to see all the best parts of an upcoming show. Movie makers are now taking this problem to new heights. It used to be that trailers would help us decide if we wanted to spend time and money witnessing the long version of that trailer. No more, I tell you. Film makers are aware that society is in need of a good old belly laugh. So they titillate us with comic trailers and then BLAMO, we show up for the movie only to be bombarded by someone's interpretation of modern art. Modern problems get hurled at us diroughout the showing and dien there's no resolution. Let's take "Miami Rhapsody" as an example here. I read other critics reviews, it was apparendy supposed to be enjoyable. The feature presentation was about to begin, good start, I thought, the music was unusual, rather funky, let me know when I Towne Tomema Centre Comer ot King & McCallum Roads. Abbotsford Cine-Info.

Miami Rhapsody is about a woman's (Sarah Jessica Parker) discovery diat everyone around her, her mother, her father, her sister, her brother, are all having affairs and at the same time they are pushing her to get married. Yes, I agree, it does sound rather obnoxiously silly, but I soon tired of it all. If I wanted Donahue or Sally Jessie Raphael I could set the VCR (assuming I learnt how to do diat). I don't need someone else's interpretation of how the institute of marriage is falling apart, all I need is a printout of marriage and divorce statistics. I've seen books made into movies but a sheet of statistics made into a movie? Sounds like severe desperation. This movie made me disappointed with society and the offdepicted decline in morals and values. If this was an attempt of comedy, Miami Rhapsody missed. the Queen ls Affair Top Quality Ladies' Wear Consignment Store Clean quality consignment clothing accepted All sizes - especially size 14 & up 27256 Fraser Hwy., Aldergrove Landmark Centre 856-8599 Hours: Mon- Sat 11 - 6 ^ about OHV daily special* JAPANESE J3.B.Q. ^W^ftrM^W^^wi Rows ^ Lunch Hours: Monday - Friday 1130 a.m. -2 p.m. 22867 FRASER HWY.

Hellerwork; you've seen advertisements on it, read articles about it or perhaps heard people talking about it? And you're still wondering what it is? Myofascial therapy, some say. Or you hear it's like a massage only deeper, well why not say massage therapy then? Probably the best explanation you've heard was "structural bodywork." Does this mean I get sculpted into a new shape? Or perhaps you've heard nothing and this is really sounding confusing. \Cfell, let's see if I can simplify this for you. Hellerwork is a series of treatments that work towards releasing the connective tissue; the series helps bring the body back into its natural alignment. It's a dirty job, but... FORT LANGLEY - There arent many blacksmiths today, but at one time every town had one. The Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre and Fort Langley National Historic Site have partnered togedier to offer Discovering Blacksmith ing for 12 to 15 years old, Saturday, March 11 at 1:30 pm. Fee is $ 30. Interested in feeling tlie heat of a forge while creating tools from iron? Then register by calling the Langley Centennial Museum at 88<3-3922. Imagine stoking a fire and learning the art of blacksmithing at a period forge in the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Make a fire poker, a nail and a personal creation, all to take home. Wear blacksmithing "•clothes...its a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. Connective tissue is a thin film that surrounds every muscle and organ in your body. It is interconnected, meaning it's like a big stocking. It's what keeps muscles from sticking to one another, bones separate from muscles, organs separate from one another. That's where you get tlie niyofascia; fascia is another name for connective tissue, myo means muscles and a Hellerwork practitioner is working the connective tissue of the muscles.. Myofascial therapy is easer to say than connective tissue of the muscles therapy. But, how do they do that? The technique is quite different from massage. Oil is not used and the strokes are slow with the main 'foscus on sensing the movement of the connective tissue. Because the tissue is interconnected when you've lost fluid movement in any part of the body it affects the entire structure. And that's why we usually work with the whole person. I say usually because sometimes people just want you to go to where the pain is and that will usually give temporary relief. But for tlie long haul its best to work with the whole structure or body. The most common change reported is increased energy and flexibility. People are amazed at how much more energy they have diroughout the day and as some have said, 'I can stand to put my pants on, I couldn't do that before.' Using a body that is full of tension is like driving a car with the parking brake on. And while I'm using the car as an example, connective tissue is to die human body what oil is to the motor of your car; neither work well when they get thick and sluggish and of course not at all without. Of course, this then helps in dealing widi stress! News flashes for singles By MARTHA SIEMENS ALDERGROVE - It's been a year now since the Matsqui/Aldergrove Singles got started.

Will it be called a toffee-cable book? Dear Annabelle, Last week my husband and I were invited to a fiftieth wedding anniversary for two of our married friends. The invitation said it was being held at a very nice hotel in Surrey in a banquet room. We duly arrived at die appointed time and were met in die lobby by a young man who seemed to be in charge of the guests. We asked for the reception room and he guided us around the bar area to a lovely large room. A young wonian at the door said "Friends of the bride or groom?" We thought diat very sweet and of course, said "Bodi". She escorted us to a table widi six odier couples the same age as us and went away. We didn't know any of the people at our table but never thought anydiing of it , as Uiey had all come from different towns in B.C. and across Canada. The head table was slightly out of our view but we were so busy-making friends among die folk at our table we didn't notice. There were die usual toasts to the happy couple and of course we drank to their health and future happiness togedier. Can you believe, as we were sitting diere diis young couple (dressed in wedding gown and tuxedo) came to our table and started hugging and kissing the people we were sitting with. When diey readied us they looked a litde nonplussed but still gave us hearty hugs and thanked us very much for our gift to them. We suddenly realized that we were at the wrong reception. Sure enough, when we got home I checked the invitation from our friends and their reception is a week from now at the same hotel. We had such a good time at that young couple's wedding reception, we even danced after the dinner, and such a fine dinner we had. We would like to make it up to them in some way. After all, they fed us and we made some very good friends. Do you think we could find out who they are and maybe send a gift? Signed: Hildy Dear Hildy, That is a funny story but we are glad you had a wonderful time. Phone the hotel and ask for the phone number of somseone who arranged that wedding reception (usually the bride's parents). Then phone them and ask for some suggestions for a gift. A lovely thought from you both. May you attend many more, either by accident or by intent. Dear Annabelle, This has been such a depressing winter and I need something to brighten my life. Is there anywhere I can go to walk, without getting my feet wet to see any sign of Spring? At this time of year I need to see some sign of Nature's life. Signed: Had it with die rain. Dear Had it, Try Campbell Valley park, it has wheel chair accessible walks that you could 'walk on without getting your feet wet. Wear rubber boots just to be sure. Thoreau once wrote: "If you are afflicted with melancholy at this season, go to the swamp (park) and see the brave - spears of the skunk cabbage already advanced toward a new year. Their gravestones are not bespoken yet Do they seem to have lain down to die, despairing of skunk cab- bagedom"? Look at the gardens around you. You must have seen the daffodils appearing all over town; and look at the alders, they all have new leaves budding already. Chin up, it won't be long .now.. SENIORS' NEWS Ledoux's legacy lives By MAUDE MACPHERSON ALDERGROVE - When watching President Clinton on TV during his visit to Ottawa, I couldn't help but notice how diplomatic he was as he spoke to the Members of Parliament. He didn't elaborate on Canada staying together but in a very subde manner be made known his wish for a united Canada. He spoke of Canada being a model, he congratulated them in die way Canadians blend their cultures and made reference to the efforts put into providing healdi care, and lasdy he made special mention of die way senior citizens are treated widi respect and dignity in this country,. Even when speaking widi Mr. Bouchard he didn't ruffle any feadiers. I guess that's what it takes to be a statesman. A lot of people have short fingernails this week waiting for die budget to come down. The Whist Party last week was a success and I felt very grateful to all the people who made my prediction of ten tables come about. Could I hope for twelve in March? I thought of six people who often come but were absent; perhaps we could find two more - and diat's twelve. Tliree carpets were used Thursday for bowling. Everyone seemed to enjoy the afternoon - win or lose. I should know; I usually lose. Though Al Ledoux was not an OAP member, he was a senior citizen in Aldergrove and a veteran. In die past few years Al had been trying to get a light at 273rd so senior citizens would feel safe in crossing Fraser Highway. He asked me to write a letter recommending this and though it's taken a couple of years or more he was so happy to see the light installed and was quite confident it soon would be in use. I'm sorry to have to report that Al died suddenly on Feb. 16 without seeing his plan implemented. Our sympathy goes to his family and as Al requested, I will write a thank you letter to both the municipality and the provincial government. A' good pot luck supper on Sunday at the OAP Hall with lots of variety as usual. Charlie and Phyllis Delves entertained us after dinner with slides of their trip to Japan. Thanks, you two, it was very interesting. Bridge results from Friday evening were as follows: Bill McKeown came in first with a score of 5820, Pauline Thu was second widi 5750, Barbara Butcher was third, her score being 5260, and fourth was Bill Ormel widi 4710. Ralph Peterson won die draw. The Choral Group is singing at die "Cottage" in Abbotsford on Tuesday afternoon. I'm not quite sure of the attendance at the Wednesday dance; somewhere in the thirties I believe. The 50-50 draw went to Mary Sanderson, Chris Lockhart and Jeff Johnson. The spot dance was won by Jean and Claude Levasseur. On Saturday there was a good crowd, about 70 I think. The door prizes were won by Olive Draper and Stella Thiessen. The five winners for the fifty-fifty draw were Georgina Onestine, Vern Nash, Mary Sanderson, Dorodiy Bright, and Stella Thiessen. The two spot dances were won by Olive and Charlie Draper and Edna Moffat and Ted Jones. First time visitors to the Saturday dance were Irving and Phyllis Goundrey of Mission. One of the dancers whom I've mentioned many times in this column passed away recendy, Al Faustman. Our sympathy goes to his family at this time. Don't forget die general meeting in the OAP hall Friday, March 3 at 1:30 pm. With summer not too far away there will be die usual reunions and homecomings. A friend of mine who attended just such a gathering said he enjoyed seeing aH the old faces and new teedi. Aldergrove's Novice II team got a $750 boost from Aldergrove Legion rep Don Gibson, to help them play in Dennis Johnson's Hockey Plus Elite League from April 2 to June 5. Coaches Ted vickers and Dan Armstrong, with players Ted Vickers Jr. and Kris Armstrong are grateful that they'll join 16 other Lower Mainland-Fraser Valley teams of mostly nine year olds in the special event. -Kurt Langmann photo 2 MILLION DOLLAR USED INVENTORY 2 MILLION DOLLAR NEW INVENTORY LAST NEW 1994 ESCORT 3 dr. hatchback, rear spoiler, aluminum mag wheels, AM/FM, power steering, power brakes, dual electric remote mirrors, air- bag, remote fuel filler release. 10,997 BRAND NEW 1995 FORD F150 P/U Power steering, power brakes, rear bumper, AM/FM, cloth seat, etc. #9591062 BRAND NEW 1994 FORD RANGER P/U LONG BOX 4.o l V6. handling pkg., pwr. steering, full carpet, AM/FM. cast alum. wheels, 12 to choose from. 12,997 BRAND NEW 1995 FORD R50 4x4 Cloth seat, AM/FM. rear bumper, P235x15 tires. #9594083* 14,199 BRAND NEW 1995 F350 S-CAB Dually turbo diesel, auto, XLT, absolutely loaded. #9598015 34,900 1994 FORD TAURUS V6, auto, air, tilt, cruise, power windows, power locks, cassette, 15 to choose from. 15,300 1994 FORD Extended Aerostars BRAND NEW 1994 FORD RANGER SCAB P/U 4.1 L V6, rear seats, AM/FM, comfort cab pkg . full carpeting, cast alum, wheels. 3 to choose from.

New growth areas chosen here LANGLEY - Willowbrook and Willoughby will be the next concentrated growth area of the township once 'Walnut Grove is completely infilled within the next «couple of years. This is the major recommendation of the Growth and Planning Commis- ' sion's interim report to council, Monday. A series of public meetings on the issue are coming up this month, including one set for March 14, 4 to 8 p.m., at Aldergrove Elk's Hall. CommLssion spokesman Tom Foerster told council that a recent public survey showed that "the rate of growth is not the problem, but quality is." A variety of housing options are recommended as well, because "one size does not fit all." Foerster added that Willowbrook-Willoughby devel - opment should be phased sequentially with growth rates, "balanced with employment growth... three percent lower than the past John Pruim to milk board VICTORIA - John T. Pruim of Matsqui has been appointed a member of the British Columbia Milk Marketing Board for a one- year term, Agriculture Minister David Zirnhelt announced Feb. 14. For the past 24 years Pruim has operated dairy farms in the Lower Mainland under the name Plum Blossom Farms Ltd. Noise curbs attempted in Abbotsford By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - City council has passed a Motor Vehicle Noise Abatement Bylaw, in response to the hundreds of complaints regarding noise in the area over die last few years. Included in the bylaw are such things as the squealing of tires, loud, roaring or explosive sounds from vehicles, amplified sounds of stereo equipment, <_ar alarms longer than one minute or more than three times in 24 hours, and the use of horns other than in an unsafe situation. The fine for any of these activities is not less than $100, and die exception to this law is vehicles in a parade with previous council authorization. Some councilors said the bylaw was redundant and not exacdy clear. Councilor Boyes said diat die Motor Vehicle Act already covers most of what is written in this bylaw and that this is just rules on rules, which may be enforced at die discretion of police officers. On the other hand Councilor Wendy Lee said it is important to have the law on the books for when officers need to reinforce it. "We have to give police the tools, should they need to use them," she said. In his report to council Deputy Chief I. Mackenzie, who researched the bylaw based on a similar ones in Vancouver and White Rock, said that police use their common sense everyday and that this bylaw is not expected to be used any differendy than any other. He also said that this new bylaw would make it easier to control transitory noise since citizens will no longer have to appear in court and testify diat diey were disturbed by someone squealing their tires. is preferred." He said the commission recognized that some of their recommendations may cause controversy, and they were anxious to "see the reaction" at the open houses this month. Copies of their report, Growth Management: Proposed Directions are available at Municipal Hall. PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES LANGLEY GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS The Public Commission on Growth and Planning was appointed by Township Council to make recommendations on growth issues facing the Township. The Commission recently released a report entitled "Proposed Directions". This report proposes planning and development principles for new communities, the appropriate location for the next urban development area, a target growth rate and suggestions for a financial plan and implementation strategy. In summary, these proposals are: 1. The Township should adopt the planning and development principles outlined in the report to help ensure that new communities offer a high quality of life and minimize negative impacts on other communities and the environment. 2. The Willowbrook/Willoughby area should be designated as the next major new community. A new community here will be better able,, in the near future, to adhere to the Commission's proposed planning and development principles and appears to offer lower municipal costs and more gradual servicing expenditures than Fernridge. While Willowbrook/ Willoughby is being developed, the Township should ensure that long range planning provides for Fernridge to be developed in accordance With the proposed principles. 3. The rate of population growth in the Township should be in balance with the rate of employment growth and the Township's financial means to acquire public land, to construct roads and services and to process development applications. A lower growth rate of 3% would be appropriate. 4. The Township should prepare a detailed financial plan and a comprehensive implemenatation strategy for the next major community. The open houses will provide opportunities for community discussion on these proposals. Following public consultation, the Commission will consider the community input and prepare its final recommendations to Council. The open houses will be held as follows: Date: Tuesday, March 7, 1995 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Place: Walnut Grove Secondary School Cafeteria Address: 8919 Walnut Grove Drive Date: Wednesday, March 8, 1995 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Place: Langley Civic Centre Address: 20699 - 42 Avenue Date: Thursday, March 9, 1995 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Place: Murrayville Community Hall Address: 21667 - 48 Avenue Date: Tuesday, March 14, 1995 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Place: Aldergrove Elks Hall Address: 27309 Fraser Highway Date: Wednesday, March 15, 1995 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Place: Langley College Address: 20381 - 66 Avenue A copy of the Commission's report "Proposed Directions" will be available at the open houses. The report is now available at the Langley Township Municipal Hall, 4914 - 221st Street, Langley between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
