Shawn Edward Buttle plead guilty to the aggravated assault, in which a Langley resident was stabbed in the abdomen. The victim was rushed to MSA Hospital for surgery and spent a week recovering. On the same day, Buttle appeared in court on several charges relating to the March 12 armed robbery of the TD Bank on South Fraser Way. He was charged with armed robbery, resisting arrest and breaching his bail conditions, and remanded in custody. Buttle was out on bail awaiting his court appearance for the aggravated assault charge when the robbery occurred.

"Close doors or move" court orders company By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - A Supreme Court judge has given Canadian Pallet Inc. four months to stop their operation or move it off agriculturally zoned land. Last Friday Justice Dillon heard the city's application for an interlocutory injunction to shut down the company pending the outcome of the trial between the city and Canadian Pallet. The city has been trying to stop Canadian Pallet from operating an industrial business on agricultural land for the last eight years. The trial was set to be heard on February 19, after having been adjourned three times before, and has been adjourned again because Joe Sangha, owner of the company, is too ill to instruct council. It may be two years before the case goes to trial again. John Gorman, a director for the company, said Dillon's decision is wrong and has contacted the Minister of Industry in Ottawa and the Minister of Employment and Investment in Victoria. Abbotsford City Manager Hedda Cochran said the city has accomplished what they were seeking for the last five years, and added that the next step is up to the company. "We are not happy with having to shut down a business, but we want businesses to comply with bylaws and legislation," she said. She also said that court orders, which everyone has to abide by, can only be overruled by a higher court and not other government bodies. The company is expected to make a major announcement on Friday. No rain on this parade ALDERGROVE - Everyone loves a parade, and this June the communities of Aldergrove and Langley city offer all residents and neighbours the opportunity to strut their stuff on two consecutive Saturdays. Parade entry forms are available at The Aldergrove Star office for both the Aldergrove Festival Days Parade on June 8 and the Langley Country Style Parade on June 15. Applica tions must be received by organizers live days prior to the parades, and the forms provide rules which must be followed to ensure public safety. The parades have traditionally brought out the largest crowds of the two festivals, and organizers continue to encourage creative ideas by providing trophies and prizes for the various categories. 'Festival', page 3 Singer enters Met's great 'winners circle' By KURT LANGMANN NEW YORK CITY - Tammy Hummel's hopes for a career as a soprano got a big boost, Sunday, when she was chosen as one of the national winners in the Metropolitan Opera's annual search for singers. She has received a $10,000 cash award, along with two weeks of intensive rehearsals with the Met's orchestra and opera company, which culminates with a Winners' Concert at the Met on Sunday, March 31,3 p.m. Hummel, who was featured in last week's Star after winning the Met's regional audition in Seatde, spoke with The Star late Monday from her room at the Mayflower Hotel, where the Met's National Council is providing her and eight other national winners with die royal treatment "They're taking real good care of me," said Hummel. "There's so much happening, with dinners every night, and they've taken me to all the sights — die Metropolitan Museum, Broadway -- I haven't seen any Broadway shows yet, but they've given me passes to all the Met's shows, which constantly rotate every day, including matinees, and I've taken in four of them so far." Tammy Hummel The social and party life is part and parcel of Hummel's victory, but so too is the daily work with some of the finest international performers and teachers. "We rehearse every day, this week just with a pianist, but soon we start with the orchestra which will perform with us at the concert. We each will perform two arias, and the conductors are still choosing which two I'll do. I get to choose one, and it'll be Ain't It A Pretty Night, by Carlyle Floyd, because it went over so well at Seatde."

Roofing scam returns to pick senior's pocket ABBOTSFORD - Police are warning residents to be aware of scam artists performing fraudulent roof repairs. The latest victim is a 69 year- old man, who was approached by three suspects, one of whom had a cast on his arm. One man identified himself as Allen Finney and produced a business card from a company called Nation-Wide Maintenance, which supposedly does roof, driveway and miscellaneous repairs. Contact with the victim was made through neighbourhood canvassing. The group targets elderly citi zens and defrauds them of money through a variety of methods including false or non-existent repairs, forgery of blank cheques and inflated billing. Several B.C. wide arrest warrants have been issued for a man calling himself Allen Finney. Police advise people to be cautious in dealing widi unsolicited businesses where the quality of work cannot be verified. Ask for several references about the company, and obtain at least three additional quotes from other companies. If still in doubt about the company and its reputation, contact the Better Business Bureau.

Councilors argue international case By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Councillors around the table argued for over an hour about the proposed soil removal operation at 1260 Gladwin Road, before sending the issue back to staff for a report to include information from an agrologist and hydrogeologist. Then they argued who should pay for it, and decided the city should cover the costs. Councillor Jack Robertson was excused from the discussion, citing possible conflict of interest The issue was reviewed in January and referred back to staff for a public information meeting, which was held in February and attended by 52 residents and two councillors. The major concerns are dust, noise, hours of operation, pedestrian safety and the potential impact of the operation on the groundwater supply, which would affect the city of Sumas, Washington. Staff recommended that the application be allowed to go ahead, subject to proceeding with phases I and II only, planting a tree buffer along the east boundary of the properties which front Gladwin Road upon completion of phase I, paving the access to Huntingdon Road, posting a security as required by the current soil removal and deposit bylaw, and the approval of the Agricultural Land Commission. A motion to refer the issue back to staff for further input from the Gravel Association was defeated. A motion to deny the application for soil removal was defeated, and the motion for further groundwater study passed with councillors Simon Gibson, Wendy Lee, Mark Warawa, and Chuck Wiebe opposed. In further mining discussion, this time regarding mining on Sumas Mountain, council again deferred Westcoast Aggregates application for a mining operation on Ward Road. Councillor Patricia Ross felt that the minutes from the February 5 meeting, at which the issue was last discussed, did not present council's intentions, which were to have a working session on the issue and resident participation in the process. Instead council just got another staff report. Councillors Brad Boyse and Ken Funk were opposed. Festival Days return in June From front Aldergrove Festival Days' fireworks gala is also a popular event and returns on the Saturday evening, June 8, at Aldergrove Community Secondary School. Festival Days will have a "gold rush" theme this year, which is being incorporated into the annual costume and business decoration competition. Other attractions that have proven successful in past years and are set to return are the slo- pitch tournament and beer garden, the antique truck and tractor pull, festival dance, youth talent contest and family-style picnic. A program of events is being compiled and will be published in a booklet as well as in The Star, and society president, Bob Long said those who wish to be involved should get started now on their plans. He also invites enquiries about possibly reviving the Miss Aldergrove pageant, and the society still has a set of wheeled chariots in storage if someone wishes to revive the outhouse races. Call Long at work, 533-0053 or home, 857-8948. A new feature at this year's Festival Days will be a Fire & Safety Fair, organized by Langley Township Fire Department chief, Larry Kydd. It will feature displays and activities from a number of organizations, June 8, noon to 4 p.m., at the Aldergrove Mall parking lot. Festival Days Society meets the first Wednesday of each month, 7 p.m., in the basement room of the Aldergrove Elks Hall. Next meeting is April 3, and is always open to the public. Tammy wows opera fans From front She has four arias prepared: Handel's Care Selve, Mozart's Ach, Ich Fuhl's, Donde Lieta from Puccini's La Boheme, and one of the Queen of the Night's arias from Mozart's Magic Flute. Bodi of the Queen's major songs are genuine showstoppers, with vocal leaps that require discipline to maintain tonal purity. Hummel has an innate talent that is being cultivated by her teachers and mentors, Vancouver Opera director, David Walsh and conductor, David Meek, and she returns in April to finish her artist diploma at Vancouver Academy of Music, with voice teacher, Meek. The academy is also preparing their annual production at the Waterfront this summer, which will feature Hummel as Queen of the Night in the Magic Hute. She will also prepare for her graduation recital at the academy on May 9 at 7 p.m. which is open to the public (call 734-2301), and in July fly to Vienna, where she'll study for six weeks under a scholarship from the Johann Strauss Foundation. As a singer comfortable with the classical languages of Italian, German and French, she has studied all three at Aldergrove Secondary, UBC and other institutions. "I'm looking forward to Vienna and using the language in everyday situations," said Hummel. "It's one thing to take an Italian or German class, now I'll actually get to speak with the people there, as well as sing it." The globe-trotting aspect of her studies and future career is exciting for the 23-year-old, but she said her roots remain in this community, where she was raised, and her family and friends still reside. When The Star suggested a homecoming concert could be arranged for this summer with the help of friends in the community, she quickly warmed to the idea: "That would be so nice. I'd love to do that." The Star is undertaking the impresario role, and will formally invite residents to the performance when details have been negotiated. .lllDGFGOVE.miNfi THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 20,1996 Forum will explore inquiry report ABBOTSFORD - First Call, the BC Child and Youth Advocacy movement, will be presenting the Gove Report and Implementation on Saturday, March 30 at the University College of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford campus.

It appears that the initial cause of her complaint is Township Council's refusal to grant the Aldergrove Kinsmen rent relief in connection with their May convention. This is, of course, a matter between these two bodies, and I would not presume to judge the rights or wrongs of their position, other than to comment that if their grant request was refused, it is presumably because it failed to meet the criteria established by Council. Logic would dictate that their next step should be an attempt to persuade Council to change these criteria. Instead, however, Ms. Coleman expands from her initial complaint to a general statement of dissatisfaction which is misleading, inaccurate and most destructive of community effort She implies that Aldergrove has no sewers, safe water or sidewalks - a statement that I know is untrue. Obviously this infrastructure does not extend throughout the whole community, anymore than it does in Fernridge, Glen Valley, Fort Langley or any other of the rural or semi-rural sections of our community. To do so would create an incredible and unnecessary property tax burden on individual landowners. Further, Ms. Coleman demands that the Aldergrove infrastructure take precedence over the construction of the first phase of a cultural centre, designed to serve the whole community. Her remarks are ill-informed. The budgeted building cost is $6.92- million, not the mythical 34-mil. to which she refers. The current project has never been defeated in a referendum. Council policy since 1988 has been to set aside cash reserves for die provision of recreational facilities - a 'pay-as- you-go' approach strongly supported by Langley's Long-term Financial Plan as submitted to Council in October, 1995. Spending decisions are made on the basis of priorities established in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, passed by Council in 1991. The current project has not been "railroaded", but has proceeded slowly and carefully through the democratic process to receive the strong support of a majority of Council. The cultural centre open house held last September, to which the entire community was invited, attracted one of the largest turnouts ever and indicated an overwhelming 93% approval for the project. The first phase will cost lhe taxpayer no additional capital tax dollars, because the money is already in the bank. And Ms. Coleman should not ignore the fact that one of the major reasons so many in the community favoured the Murrayville location was that it would be more accessible to Aldergrove residents. What I find most disturbing about Ms. Coleman's comments, however, is her clear inference that this 'community of communities' should continue to indulge in the kind of open warfare that we are now witnessing between those who seek to profit from future development in Brookswood/Fernridge and Willowbrook/- Willoughby. As with most such wars, it is the average property owner and taxpayer, and the community as a whole, who suffer. Even more offensive is her inference that only Aldergrove has volunteers, and that only they are Wormy of support There are volunteers in every corner of this community, working for the whole community in every conceivable activity, from health care to education to athletics to the arts. They are working together to make Langley a physically, mentally and spiritually better place to live. They are all worthy of support. PAT MUGRIDGE, Langley Changing history Editor, The Star, Sir, The Alder Grove Heritage Society is planning to put together another history of the area, covering the years since 1939, die date the first volume ended with. Perhaps, the review of The Place Between in British Columbia Historical News (written by SPU professor emeritus, Gordon Elliott for the Journal of the B.C. Historical Federation, winter 1995-'96 edition) should be reprinted in The Star to help the society put together something more appropriate - l/10th the size and 10 times the fluidity of The Place Between. It would be in Aldergrove's best interest if a second book by the society be put "on hold" and the society direct its activities and energy towards major local issues tb it should be dealt with now, and so change the direction from ghet- to-izing to one worthy of the prestigious geographical features Aldergrove enjoys. For example, rid the area now of the Aldergrove sewage treatment plant before more excuses are found to delay its removal. The agreement between Abbotsford and the township of Langley has been signed. All that is needed now is the actual removal of the Aldergrove sewage treatment plant, however, the township of Langley, according to Abbotsford, is delaying the process. If the Alder Grove Heritage Society could view their part in the heritage, of Aldergrove as more important than writing about it then the intensity and concern of dieir society might make a significant change in the history of Aldergrove. As long as the "as soon as possible" philosophy operates here, we are guilty of polluting the local environment, and delay results in greater cost to the taxpayer. In the early '80s, the province would pay 75 percent and the municipality 25 percent of these public works projects. Now that rate is reversed, and who knows, soon the municipality pays the whole shot? RUTH ERICKSON, Aldergrove Help for disabled Editor, The Star, Sir, The Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of Aldergrove would like to thank the people of Aldergrove for their contributions to our annual Mothers' March campaign which ran January 15-31 in the province of B.C. The $3,044.12 in proceeds raised will go direcdy to support the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation programs which provide services and technologies empowering British Columbians widi physical disabilities to live more independendy.

At the top of the list is "private-public partnerships" and these so- called new kinds of ways of meeting public needs not only include partnerships with mega-corporations, they also include small business and community organizations. If you diink about it it's not a new idfia at all. We've been doing this kind of thing long before most of us were born. For example, government did not build the community halls in Coghlan, Patricia or Bradner, in the early part of this century. Our pioneers, whedier they were coverall-clad laborers or smartly-attired merchants, came together on a good idea and pooled their resources to build these invaluable community assets. Work bees, donations of lumber and hardware, and the ongoing volunteer community boards that operate the halls under the society's act ~ the list of contributions goes on and on. Government has done its share, too, by allowing big breaks on property taxes for the non-profit groups, by renting the halls for various recreation programs offered to the community (and in Bradner's case, installing a community policing office there), and in the case of the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, government not only built a library into it, they also manage the hall with staff and a wide variety of wonderful recreational programs for all ages. This is a fabulous relationship that has been fostered and nurtured for everyone's benefit. We shouldn't allow ourselves to take it for granted, because it's easily lost ~ just last month, the West Langley Community Hall Association voluntarily voted to dissolve itself and hand over the hall's operations to the lions Qub. We wish the lions well and hope that this beautiful old hall continues to exist and serve its community as a place for wedding parties, dances, socials, fairs and the like, but isn't it terribly sad that a long-standing volunteer board became so burned out that it has ceased to exist? Perhaps it's a sign of a changing, fast-growing community in what's become a highly transient society, but still there are a large number of similar community halls in urban Vancouver city that are run by volunteer societies. Certainly, Vancouver's major events occur in its civic-operated (and some corporate-owned) theatres and venues, but even many of these are operated by volunteer citizen boards. But the numerous, lesser-known little community halls in Vancouver provide social interaction for a good number of people at litde or no cost to society, even if they don't get the media coverage that the Show Boats or Canucks games do. Not everyone will put out the cash for a seat at a major show or game, but if a kid we know is getting recognition for an achievement, we're first in line for a front-row- centre seat in the school' bleachers, right? This is the reason that I'm offended that our township council has turned down three requests by the Aldergrove Kinsmen for waived rental fees at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre for their upcoming provincial Kin convention. This club has given our community so much, in building the centre and the Kin Heritage Park, that I'd support giving them both the centre and the arena rent-free for the weekend, under the concept of promoting private-public partnerships. Sure, it'd cost a bit in lost rental revenues, but what a bargain in the returns to the community. It's not a decision that can be made by township staff and I'm not faulting them. It's a political decision that has to be made by our councillors, and they should have a process that ensures speedy consideration of such requests by any community organization which improves our quality of life. Last year's RCMP- sponsored community policing volunteer recognition dinner at the centre would not have happened if council had not approved free rental of the centre — what a small price to pay for the tens of thousands of volunteer hours given by these wonderful people. The same goes for the Aldergrove Elks, who are in financial straits because they lost dieir tax- exempt status on dieir hall here a couple years ago. They won back their status after appealing to the concerned government bodies, but they are still working off the back-taxes as the ruling was not retroactive. Why on earth did they have to go through this punishing tax on their funds and energy? They offer their hall to the public at bargain rates and give so much to the community, and they don't come to government for help when they need to re-roof or build handicapped access. Are we cutting off our nose to spite our face? Another pathetic situation is the Aldergrove Veterans' Resort Society, who want to beautify their Fraser Highway storefront with a $2,100 awning, but are appealing a $1,105 permit fee demanded by the township. Sure, council has said they're inclined to waive the (outrageous) fee in this case, but instead of letting these seniors get on with the job, council is awaiting for the gears of bureaucratic process to spew out the decision somewhere down the road. For crying out loud, give them a permit yesterday. Volunteers are what makes this community, whether it's 4-H, die Cancer Society, Old Age Pensioners' Organization, School Parents' Advisory Council, Rotarians, Sports Teams, Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society — you name it and put it in capital letters, too. We'll never in our wildest dreams be able to pay for all that they give us, but we can make their life easier by giving them decent breaks everywhere we can. Because if we don't love them, we'll lose them. iiPiSSfilSiiiiiWPPiPiii THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 20,1996 Market said to be 'fairly steady' 'Friends' important to library's good fortune ^ ALDERGROVE - Realtor Vic Peters said this week that, "The local market is fairly steady, however it is interesting to note that so far this year there have been 36 single family homes sold, compared to 24 sold in the same period last year." Single family home sales in Aldergrove in the past three months were in the $150,000 to $250,000 range, with five in the $160,000-$170,000 range, eleven in the $170,000$ 180,000 range and seven in the $190,000- $200,000 range. There were a total of 73 listings recorded in the, same timeframe. There were also 37 listings of townhouses and condominiums, ranging from under $100,000 to more than $150,000. Of these 22 were sold, with 13 in the $120,000-$130,000 price range. Editor, The Star, Sir, . This is my opportunity to thank the wonderful volunteers from the Friends of the Library who helped make two recent library events such great successes. On February 11, the Friends of the Aldergrove Library hosted an informal open house - "Library Lovers' Day" - which attracted 500 adults and children, who enjoyed the refreshments, book draws, scavenger hunt and music by the Aldergrove Secondary Concert Choir under the direction of Laurie Penner. At the Langley Library Book Sale on February 17, over 1,800 people crowded into the library to buy bargains in used books, paperbacks and magazines. The Friends of the Library were invaluable, helping set out the 5,000 books and handling the book sale itself, all proceeds of which go to new materials for the library. The support of the Friends of the Library is vital to our success, and I want to thank them for their deep commitment to public library service in our community.

MM MM txa THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 20,1996 em Water knows no boundaries LYNDEN, Wash. - Watersheds are not aware of human made boundaries. Are you interested in protecting the small salmon streams found in northwest Washington and the lower mainland of British Columbia? Join an international workshop that will result in a course of action to protect the beautiful, productive, trans-border salmon stream called Bertrand Creek. Teachers, planners, community group leaders, farmers, professionals, environmentalists, native peoples, and all Bertrand Creek watershed residents are encouraged to attend. The Bertrand Watershed Keepers are seeking assistance from groups and individuals to fulfil necessary actions outlined in the protection and enhancement plan. These activities include stream clean-ups, conducting watershed inventories, stream monitoring, marking storm drains, public relations and education of watershed residents, and fencing and revege- tating stream riparian zones. There will be many opportunities for volunteer/civic organizations to become actively involved. Participants will complete the watershed enhancement action plan, and discuss strategies for the management of the Bertrand Creek watershed. Make sure your point of view is taken into consideration in this planning process, on Monday, March 25, 1996 from 7 to 9:30 pm at Lynden Christian High School, 515 Dayton. This free event is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and die Adopt-A-Stream Foundation; call (206) 316-8592. There is also a free sockeye salmon poster for the first 100 attendees. m UNITED OPTICAL "YOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" - Repairs - Lenses ' Quality Fashion Eyewear - Fr2UHCS Eye examinations arranged CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE MM WtWg 32500 South Fraser Way, Cleartrook 859-7115 World champion Jerome Davis with "hell on hooves", and many of the world's roughest riders will take on the world's baddest bucking bulls for the biggest purse ever offered in Canada, at Pacific Coliseum on March 23-24. They call bull-riding the longest eight seconds known to man - a bone-breaking contest that pits a lone rider holding on with one hand against a 3,000 pound bucking bull straining every mean muscle in its body to fling him into next week. If the rider stays on for eight seconds, he earns the right to risk life and limb again. Some 60 of the world's finest bucking bulls - the "kings of the ring" and 40 of the best riders are featured in the Northwest Invitational Professional Bull Riders Championship to be held here on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24. There will be mors than 90 rides over the two days, with the championship rounds taking place on the 24th. Call Ticketmaster, 280-4444. "We put our lives on the line for what we love," said Gilbert Carillo. "And the adrenaline of the fans is like thunder in the grandstands." Bull riding's cult status is confirmed by a New York Times article which states, "for glamour, popularity and commercial appeal, bull riding stands alone. By reputation, bull riders are the slickest dressers, the biggest spenders... macho princes of their realm. Manor adds 22 beds to facility ALDERGROVE - Jackman Manor will soon have a 22-bed special care unit for Alzheimer disease patients. This addition is under construction adjacent to its/ 75-bed intermediate care facility, built several years ago by its nonprofit society under sponsorship of Aldergrove lions Qub. The need for specialized Alzheimer care is growing dramatically, as national agencies estimate 161,000 Canadians and 18,700 British Columbians are afflicted by the disease, and the incidence appears to increase with age. It strikes some 6.9 percent of those between ages 75 and 84, and 26 percent of those over age 85. This means diat by year 2020, as many as 80,000 British. Columbians could be afflicted by Alzheimers. "Caring for a person with Alzheimer disease requires enormous physical and emotional energy, making extreme demands on caregivers," said Jackman Manor administrator Ken Pruden. "In our efforts to support the rapidly increasing numbers of those in our province afflicted with Alzheimer disease we are adding the 22-bed special care unit to our facility." However, "With existing economic conditions and die necessity to control our budgets we need financial assistance to meet the needs of our community. Our aim is to provide the most appropriate furnishings, equipment and landscaping possible for this population group." Pruden has issued a "wish list" to various organizations and businesses in the community, in their fundraising drive. This list ranges from the high-priced items such as special area landscaping ($34,260) to the moderate priced hospital beds (22 at $2,000 each) to the affordable table lamps (four at $100 each). "Any financial assistance you may be able to provide in support of this project will be greatly appreciated" said Pruden. "Donations of $500 or more will be recognized on our donation board, clearly visible on entering the . building. All donations will be acknowledged, and a tax receipt will be issued if desired. Suggestions as to die desired or appropriate type of recognition are also encouraged." Those who wish more information are invited to call Pruden at 856-4161 or fax 856-2562.

Abbotsford, B.C. §850-0384 MetLife LD565-42a I Challenging for credit THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 20,1996 By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - The school board has received for information a draft for a district Guideline for Challenging for Credit Beginning September 1996, B.C. districts will be required to have in place a policy to allow students to obtain credit for grade 111 and 12 course through a challenge process, because students who have taken appropriate courses elsewhere should be able to obtain full credit for what they have learned. Challenging for credit is not a replacement of the classroom experience but a recognition of significant learning acquired outside the classroom. . Brenda. LeClaire, Director of Student Services, told the board that challenging has always existed, but now the Ministry of Education is requiring a formal process that outlines the steps for students wishing to challenge. Trustee Donna Gittens questioned the unsuccessful applicant's challenge and what appeal they have if refused. Susan Everett, Superintendent of Schools, said that there is already an appeal process in place. She also said that this proposal does not cover international or out of province students, as they already get credits from the institution where they took the course. Speech contest prepared Spring has sprung... By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Driving through the countryside on the weekend it's strange to see everything coming to life again. Another new beginning - trees in blossom, daffodils for sale, little lambs in the fields, and herons and ducks on the water. The winter is gone and spring is here again. I've enjoyed the winter and for me it passed very quickly, but the lovely warm sunshine feels good on the old bones. March 30 is the Art sale and show in the OAP hall. Keep the date in mind, it will soon roll around. The Choral Whist party is coming up the last Thursday of March, March 28 to be exact The usual crowd were out to carpet bowl on Thursday. It's just a game but still it's fun to win. We'd be happy to see some new faces, so come and join us at the OAP hall at 1:30 pm. The Choral Group is singing at the Cottagelnis week on Tuesday afternoon. The name of the winners at Bridge last week seemed pretty familiar, Ralph Peterson whose score was 7660 came first second winner with 6870 was Alec Barstow, third was Bill McKeown with 6220, and John McDougall. fourth with 5680, while Fran Colebank came fifth with 5300. Connie Johnson won the draw. Pot luck supper coming up fourth Sunday of the month. I saw a play last week at the Langley theatre entitled "The Dining Room". It was well done, a litde hard to follow, since each player took the part of several characters. It was really quite enjoyable. On Wed. March 13 there were about 50 out for an evening of dancing. The Spot dance went to Fransesca and Jeff. The 50-50 winners were Selina Davies, George Yusko and Dick Lockhart. The Valley Ramblers played both Wed. and Sat Saturday attendance was poor. Perhaps the jamboree Sunday was responsible. How many dances can these seniors go to in a week? The Spot dance went to Marguerite Charles and Dick Lockhart. The 50-50 draw winners were Clare Walchuck, Cora ; Dick, and Harry Fraser. The two ; door prizes went to Jack Goosen and Roger Dion. Ed Sanders | birthday was celebrated at the Sat dance. It was so nice to see Rita Myer at the Legion dinner. She's been : housebound for quite sometime and feeling under the weather.. Another member, Alfreda Primas, who is recovering from a car accident, was at the dinner and looking so well. Good to see you both. Since this is St. Patrick's Day, I think I should relate a litde joke told to me. This gentleman was touring around Europe and Britain and while in Italy he visited Rome, and there in the middle of the square stood a marble pillar with a gold telephone attached. The tourist spotted a priest and enquired about the phone and he said "O, that's a direct line to Heaven and it costs $1,000 a call." The traveller said 'That's a bit steep for me", and walked on. But strangely enough in Paris he saw the gold telephone on the pillar and was told again by a passing priest that it was a direct line to Heaven at $1,000 a call. On he went to Germany and England, and each time encountered the same thing, the golden telephone was a direct line to Heaven. Eventually he got to Ireland and there if there wasn't a golden telephone on a marble pillar, so he said to the priest that he met "I suppose this is a direct line to Heaven with each call costing $1,0007' "O no" said the priest, "my good fellow, you are now in Ireland, the call is local." ALDERGROVE - The newly chartered Aldergrove Toastmasters Club is holding its first Qub Speech Contest Monday, March 25, at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre from 7:30 to 9:15 pm.

Campus Crusade for Christ's new national headquarters will be built this year in Langley, at 64 Avenue and 203 Street. National headquarters moving here SURREY - Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada, an interdenominational, international Christian organization working in over 80 countries, has chosen Langley as the home of their new national headquarters. In making the decision Dr. Marvin Kehler, president of Campus Crusade, notes that Langley is an excellent location that best meets the growing needs of the organization. Founded in 1951 by Dr. William R. Bright, Campus Crusade now has over 13,000 full time staff and 100,000 volunteers worldwide. The ministry began in Canada in 1967 at the University of British Columbia. Since then, the Canadian ministry of Campus Crusade has expanded from a handful of employees to over 340 staff and 60,000 volunteers across the country, with regional offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, London, Toronto and Ottawa. Over 100 staff will work out of the national headquarters. The ministry has also expanded its focus, from the university to now include business leaders, professionals, faculty, politicians and diplomats, churches, athletes, teenagers and families in Canada and around the world. This diversification has not led to a loss of corporate identity or mission, notes Kehler, because the focus of ministry activity has remained constant throughout its twenty nine year operation in Canada: "People are looking for hope, and meaning in their lives. That never changes. And by helping people to understand how they can know God personally, we an help provide that hope." Campus Crusade does not restrict its activities to Canada, however, but has formed international partnership in 80 countries to help people in their spiritual lives. Over 12-million people have been impacted by the message and ministry activities since 1967. The new Langley headquarters for Campus Crusade, located at 64 Avenue and 203 Street, will also function as a global communication centre. Because of the new technologies available to us as we approach the 21st century noted Kehler, "Our office can be. in touch with the world." A ground breaking ceremony for the three story structure is scheduled for March 28, and the centre is expected to be completed by year's end F - TJ • T • XJ - R • E • Read The news Keep track ofnews and events at your University College You can find thefiTTnHthroughout the Kwantlen region - Surrey, Delta, Langley, Richmond and White Rock.

Agreement was reached recendy to allow UCFV to meet access targets established by the Ministry of Educations, Skills and Training for 1996/97. This should result in an increase of accessibility to UCFV classes. Under the terms of the revised agreement adjustments will be required in some program areas and support staff members will make available additional work time. In effect, more students will be allowed into some classes where enrolments are currently below the maximum allowed. As well, an additional 3,000 hours of time will be provided by UCFV support staff. In addition, agreement was reached on terms for an early retirement incentive, and on a work share or work reduction process which will be offered to employees to aid in reducing layoffs in 1996/97. Revisions to the contract will provide UCFV senior management and the FSA with a framework within which to discuss issues such as workload allocation, technical change, and future initiatives which may have an impact on the collective agreement An absolute engineering marvel f ALDERGROVE - A marvel of mechanical engineering known as the Boss of Bikes will visit here May 1, courtesy of owners, the Heart and Stroke Foundation. On that day, at Aldergrove Mall, groups of 30 pedal-pumping passengers from this community will jump aboard the colossal cycle and take part in the Big Bike Ride. Measuring eight feet across at the wheels and extending 30 feet long, the Big Bike is a sight you won't want to miss. It's more than entertainment, it's also an opportunity to raise money for the provincial foundation. They invite the public to build a team of friends, family and co-workers to get their hearts in motion for the Big Bike. The minimum pledge for each team member is $60, and prizes are awarded to all fundraisers, ranging from T-shirts, bags and jackets to a week aboard a Shuswap Lake houseboat or a trip to San Francisco. Teams are made up of 29 riders who take a 3.5 kilometre course around town, beginning and ending at Aldergrove Mall. Drivers are provided by the foundation, and each team displays a sign with their organization's name while riding on the Big Bike. All pledge money is used to fund life-saving heart and stroke research along with health promotion programs. "It's a fun-filled event that encourages people to support an important cause," said coordinator Paula Springman. "We're looking for companies, service organizations and other groups in the com- munity to get involved in the ride." For information call Spring- man at the office, 591 -1955.

And you should feel good about it! You and thousands like you in the Fraser Valley have made 1996 one of the best RRSP seasons yet. People making even small contributions to RRSP's have taken the smart and necessary steps toward financial health and freedom. And they have done it this year with the greatest amount of Mutual Fund purchases ever, as GICs were unattractive and people sought better producing investments. The last minute deposits into RRSPs may seem like a minor nuisance now, or for some, a big headache as they struggle to pay off that RRSP loan. But for all, these contributions will go a very long way to ensuring financial health and independence years into the future. If we have done so well, why then did we all seem to feel so badly last Friday, when the news flashed that the stock market was taking a major hit. Indeed the market took a collective deep breath and hiccupped on Friday, March 8, in what was one of the largest market drops since 1991. The TSE and DJI dropped as investors sold in declining markets, and investors like you and I all looked over our shoulder and wondered if our Mutual Funds and stocks would take a hit In fact, over last weekend I received a few frantic phone calls from investors who inquired about selling mutual funds since they were "..rail'going down". After some reassuring, I reminded these people about why they had chosen to invest into equity positions in the first place. There is no doubt that Mutual Funds have had very nice success in the past year. This kind of success entices people to be in these funds, obviously hoping that the upward ride is a continuous one. But everything we have talked about in the past year ensures that we all know that investing in equity is for the long term. Right? Maybe not! Market spikes and adjustments like Friday will happen from time to time and test our staying power. Those who can weather the storm, and remember the long-term climate, so to speak, will be far better off. This is because equity has consistently outpaced other investments in the past If I can quote the famous investor Warren Buffet: "...it matters not how you time the market, but rather the time you are in the market...". This makes the pill of uncertainty easier to swallow since buying equity of solid companies for the long term has always been a ticket to financial success. (And it helps that the person who said this quote is a bona-fide gazzillionaire, having started with nothing). In the last 15 years, some Mutual Funds have averaged 13- 15%, even including the 1987 crash. The worst thing you can do is sell in a declining market, since eventually the upward curve will prevail. Timing a market is something no one can guarantee. So if you have used your RRSPs this year for stocks and Mutual Funds, stay the course. Ignore the pundits of market decline. It is always a good time to be buying equity in blue-chip stocks, and quality mutual funds.

More than $1,000 has been raised to help Michelle's expenses, as she continues treatments for leukemia at B.C. Children's Hospital Over the coming months. -Kurt Langmann photos Kids unite to "rock the house" for friend By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - The community rallied in a major way, March 14, for a young woman who is undergoing treatment for leukemia at B.C. Children's Hospital. A benefit dance was held at the high school which raised about $1,000 to help Michelle Loesekann, 16, and her family with the costs which the medical plan doesn't cover. However, judging by the smiles on Michelle's and over 100 supporters' faces, the" biggest joy was in the friendship and solidarity they demonstrated for one of their own and each other. It was also a novelty in that live bands are rarely featured at school dances these days, because it's so much easier to set up a portable DJ service and video screen. However, Michelle's neighbours called in favours from relatives and friends to bring two live bands to the gym, and the excitement they generated was enough to light up everybody's faces. One of the mothers, Jeannine Kasper called her brother, who not only volunteered his band, Vicious Circle, but brought the Daisy Chain band into the team. School administrators were quite happy to accommodate the event - - "It's a great cause," agreed the principal, Graham Leask and vice-principals Dave Hunt and Mike Etheridge, who all showed up to help the volunteer parents' security team and the students' drug and alcohol committee who ran the concession. There was also considerable largesse shown by Kelly Deyong Sound Services, which provided equipment free of charge as well as the services of technician, Chris and a friend on sound and lights. Other sponsors included Dixon Heating & Sheet Metal Ltd., By-Pass Equipment Ltd., The Boogie Shop and Otter Coop. BCTV also showed up and taped a feature on the event for broadcast that night. Daisy Chain started shortly after 7 p.m., and the quartet soon had the students crowded round the stage and dancing. They featured songs from their all-original CD, which fits somewhere between Counting Crows, Nirvana and Rancid, and went over extremely well with the kids. Lead singer, John Dembie was a HiK_§ Daisy Chain, true gentlemen with a lot of flair, got the crowd on their feet with a snappy show of original songs. crowd-pleaser, charming the kids by banding out free copies of the CD, and all the band put all their heart into the performance. They also stuck around to sign autographs and pose for photos with their new fans: kudos to Dembie, Trent Gauthier, Shawn Klatt and Scott Coats. The fans also promised to call CFOX Radio with requests for Daisy Chain's music, and many said they are looking forward to seeing them perform again. Vicious Circle also worked up a sweat, in a hard-rocking style similar to Metallica, and many of the kids are looking forward to this summer's release of their first CD. The kindness shown by this quintet in supporting this event is a credit to Rick Collin, Rocky Mercurio, Bill Dunkley, Darren Genovese and George Pereria. It was all over at 9:30 p.m., but the fond memories continue for all. And for Michelle, whose blood counts and tests are showing encouraging signs, it says this community really cares about our kids. Donations to Michelle Loesekann can be made in the trust fund in her name at branches of the Royal Bank (Aldergrove only) and Edelweiss Credit Union. Vicious Circle singer, Rick Collin poured out his heart for fans.

Star Entertainment Players sport new spring look for "Home" THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 20,1996 11 ■"KVE By PAMELA ROUGH-BOUSE LANGLEY - The Footlight Playerss are sporting a new look for spring. While some of the players are familiar, there are some new faces treading the boards. The change of pace has been introduced by guest directors Paul and Emma Goodrich, who have done a superb job of casting this production of Welcome Home by Marty Davis. Each actor seems perfect for his or her role, and it is very easy to tell that these are all seasoned performers. The story, a good old American comedy, revolves around Daniel Frame's return home from a war veterans' hospital. A breakdown, which culminated with him atop City Hall dispersing his life savings to the spectators below, resulted in a year's stay there. But, Daniel is oh, so reluctant to return to the world of the mentally stable, and the antics which ensue are good fun to watch. J Mel Ettenberg, as Daniel, can, quite frankly, make an audience laugh with a simple "look". His deadpan, Henny Youngman-like delivery is perfect for Daniel's sarcastic sullen humour. Daniel's poor frustrated wife Katherine is played by Liz Lower as a woman of endless patience and hope. Her performance is as solid as the character she portrays. Choirs unite in performance LANGLEY - Trinity Western University's Chamber Choir and Concert Choir will perform a program of varied repertoire, and the TWU String Quartet will also be featured, on Thursday, April 4, 8 pm at TWU's Hanson Chapel, 7600 Glover Rd. Admission is free of charge. Will Fairbairn is Daniel's recently released hospital buddy, Willy. He gives this endearing character just the right balance of nuttiness and sensibility, polished off with a certain innocent blank- ness. (Not to mention too many drinks.) The Frame's eccentric neighbour Millie is played for all its worth by veteran Footlighter Pat Bird. Her make-up and costuming really add to the "larger than life" (in every way) characterization. As the family lawyer and good neighbour John Barnett, Marco Hohlbein is the definitive of every lawyer I have ever met He does a truly funny telephone scene with Barb Nelson, who is the Frames' devoted daughter Lisa. Rounding out the cast is Keith Auck, as the ever amiable small town policeman. While in act 1 the dialogue is a bit slow at times, Welcome Home really comes to life in the second and third acts. Among the several memorable moments is a drunken rendition of "My Buddy" which generates an appreciative round of applause from the audience. So if you are in the mood to laugh this is definitely the {day to see. "Live" music rules supreme By KURT LANGMANN It takes a special kind of talent to succeed in an arena concert, and Melissa Etheridge managed to pull it off in front of about 5,000 at the new General Motors Race. Her sound was as pure and clean as I've ever heard in such a venue, her band was competent and exciting, and Melissa gave full throat to her songs for die best part of two hours. While I feel she has yet to make the "perfect" album, her lyrics are steadily improving, her musical sense is interesting to hear, and her voice is simply awesome. Her emotional impact is especially riveting in live performance, where there's no tricks possible ~ what you hear is what she sings, and I can't think of another woman that comes close to her style and range. Show opener, kilt-clad Nova Scotian Ashley Maclsaac was also a crowd pleaser, although he suffered from a poor sound mix that dulled his prowess with the Wit® AMcgmmtm SStutr MUSIC FESTIVAL The fourth annual Merritt Mountain Music Festival, July 18-21, features Vince Gill, Johnny Cash, Patty Loveless, Collin Raye, Neal McCoy, Bellamy.Brothers, Highway 101 with Paulette Carlson, Prairie Oyster, Farmer's Daughter, Suzanne Gitzi and many more stars.

He had much better sound mix last year with Jann Arden, or the year before with Sarah McLachlan, although both benefited from being outdoor shows that are far more forgiving of sound technicians' mixing problems. Still, his band got a warm reception to their mix of traditional maritime music and rock, and praise from Melissa, who added, tongue firmly in cheek, that it was a real delight for her to have a fellow "in a skirt" open for her performance "and I get to wear the pants!" Jim Byrnes wasn't on hand to accept his recent Juno award for best blues/gospel album (he's in France filming Highlander), but he's thrilled with the response to his That River album, on the Stony Plain label.

Dr. Ferdinand Piech, who unveiled Concept 1 for the first time in Asia at the Tokyo Motor Show, said that Concept 1 has been designed using the most advanced technologies, but instead of keeping its development a secret, they are inviting customers to participate in the product development, exemplifying the customer orientation of the Volkswagen Group. They have been overwhelmed by the positive results. They have talked to customers and dealers all over the world and taken careful note of media and motoring press recommendations, to put a car on the world market that perfectly corresponds to the requirements, desires and dreams of the customers. Piech went on to say, "The memories of yesterday can also form the dreams of tomorrow. The Concept 1 embodies a vision fjffii mmmm Cars & Car Care that redefines the memories of yesteryear." No production model has ever sold more units than the Beetle. More than 21 million were produced between 1945 and now. Over half a million were sold in Canada. Volkswagen is hoping to cash in on the recent nostalgia wave, but is not trying to bring back the old Beetle, according to Volkswagen of America representative Maria Leonhauser.

The seven year old student at Betty Gilbert Elemen- taryis in bis second year racing at the Langley Quarter Midget Association track in south Aldergrove, and he brings bis skills to this Sunday afternoon's indoor race at BC Place. While the quarter midgets are not the feature event at the Rent- a-wreck Legends Cars Can-Am Challenge Indoor Stock Car Race, they will provide some real excitement between the main events. Tourond's "superstock" class, along with the modifieds, B's and alcohol-powered midgets will each have their own event under the dome. His parents said the hobby is "totally family-oriented... good, clean fun that promotes fair play, competition ahd social skills" at the regular events held at the south Aldergrove track. Kids usually start about age five with three horsepower machines and move up in age brackets to 16 and seven to eight HP carts. "In the 12 years or so diat the LQMA track has been going, there's never been a kid hurt there," said Greg's parents. "They have all the belts, restraints helmets and so on needed to protect them, and everyone tries not to bother the neighbours by following the track rules. The older kids help the younger ones, it's a peer thing." Aside from Grandpa, Greg said his hero is fellow racer, Matt Lahay, a 15 year old with an alcohol burning cart that will also be featured this Sunday at the dome. The track's season has just started and this Sunday's event is an excellent opportunity to perform for real crowds. Spring: Time for new life, new wiper blades (NU)—Undoubtedly, you are glad to see the passing of another winter season. Besides the cold, dreary weather you're especially pleased to have less and less sloppy driving conditions to contend with. But wait! The effects of all that winter driving have probably taken their toll on the rubber edge of your car's wiper blades, says Lee Reighart, product marketing manager at ANCO Wiper Blades, a division of Cooper Automotive. Do you remember those times you waited impatiently for the wipers to clear the frost from your windshield while you waited for the car to warm up? Imagine scraping your knuckles across that same frosted windshield, and you can understand the abuse your wiper blades sustained. "Road film, dirt, salt, petroleum products and the additional pollution in the air all contribute to the deterioration of the rubber wiping edge of wiper blades," Reighart says.

Here are some other tips from the experts at ANCO: • Windshields contaminated with waxes and oils will not allow windshield wipers to perform properly, causing poor visibility. • Many types of windshield wipers will actually lift off the windshield at highway speeds. Use wipers designed with aerodynamic features:- to improve wiper performance at high speeds for safer driving vision. • Improperly performing windshield wipers that skip across windshields create annoyances and distractions that interfere with safe driving conditions. • Inspect wiper blades every six months. Replace when worn, damaged or malformed. • Ninety percent of all driving decisions behind the wheel are based on vision. Properly operating windshield wipers can improve driving vision for safer vehicle operation.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MARCH 20,1996 Teacher's look toward future earns national prize in present %. By MONIQUEOALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Aubry Farenholtz, Science Department Head at D.W. Poppy Secondary, never set out to win a National Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence, that was the icing on the cake. Farenholtz, along with UBC Professor Janice Woodrow and H.D. Stafford Secondary teacher Gordon Spann, spent four years developing the Technology Enhanced Physics Instruction (TEPI) program, which has greatly increased interest and achievement among students at the schools. He said the award ceremony and the week he spent in Ottawa was an eye-opening experience. Tt was a real honour to meet the Prime Minister, but I also spent two days with the other 14 award recipients doing presentations of our projects for each other, and exchanging information," he said. "It was a great professional learning experience to see the teaching creativity from across the country, and I brought a lot of things back with me that I can incorporate here, right away. "We also toured Northern Telecom and learned about the future of technology in telecommunications. "The students are really proud of what we have done, and the $7000 prize shared with the school will help towards the future of the program." The trio created TEPI to find out how they can incorporate the computer into the classroom as a working tool rather than something kept in a separate lab for special use, and to find another way for students to learn science. "We have had some very positive results," said Farenholtz, who has a degree in physics from UBC and is currently working on his masters degree. "This program allows more students to be successful in physics, by allowing them to work at their own pace, individually or in teams, and learn by doing rather than by listening. Doing is a different type of learning experience, because not all students learn by listening. "TEPI doesn't replace other styles of learning, it introduces another option to allow kids to succeed where they may not in a more traditional environment," he said. Students choose their own ways to study as well. For example, to conduct an experiment, they can do a traditional one in the physics lab, a physical one, such as using a bow and arrow outside, or a computer one with simulated variables using the guess and check method. "Computer technology is just another tool," said Farenholtz, "We still use traditional equipment The focus is on the student successfully learning the outcome, and learning how to learn. For many students learning by doing is harder and longer, but it uses their own motivation. "Also it's very rewarding for a teacher to be asked by a student, Teach me this,' than for me to tell them 'You have to learn this." The program has become so successful there are four schools and six teachers using it in Langley, and three other pilot sites in B.C. Farenholtz is proud of Langley School District, which is well- known for its technology and alternate programs and received several grants for programs. "The district is very supportive of teachers and encourages us to be different and try different things." he said. "Also the business community has been very , supportive of the project, because people learn and continue to learn as the workplace changes."

In fact, Canadians 16 to 24 years-old are twice as likely to score highly on literacy tests than those in the 56 to 65 age group. Our Public Education system is open to all students. No child is excluded regardless of race, income, or special needs. Our teachers, along with education support workers and other key resources, provide not only the basics but an expanding body of knowledge to help prepare our children for a changing world. Our neighbourhood schools are now under attack from often misinformed sources. Vital funding and resources hang in the balance. Public Education is worth supporting. Get the real story.

I believe I knew him at the start of the Great War. He served under me in France and, believe me, he was no treasure. Have nothing else to do with him! However, I myself have had fits of dementia and the other night had a fitful dream, in wliich I was back in Kuwait during the troubles they had there. I was pedalling my diminutive mountain' bike furiously through the streets of Kuwait City, single-handedly repelling the Iraqi invasion of that ill-starred nation. I would race through mine-fields, leap over barbed-wire entanglements, the better to confront the enemy platoon that approached. Because I was only armed with a Swiss army pocket knife, close combat was a main feature of my battle plan. Thrust and parry, thrust and parry - all the time leaping adroitly from left to right, right to left, the better to escape the fusillade of bullets directed at my nimble figure. By dawn the enemy were in full retreat, and so it was not so surprising that, when I woke in the morning, I was completely exhausted and could not even look at my bicycle that day, chained to my dog Hitler. Now to the point of this letter: I have heard that there are many bicycle clubs in this part of the world and would like to contact any of them who would be willing to get up an expedition to Kuwait and have a bash at the Iraqis. It's a great deal of fun and besides you get a wonderful tan. Only robust persons should apply. Yrs. fthfly, Hugo (Huge) Wallop, Brig, (ret.) Dear Huge, Thank you again for your letter, but after reading it I think it's time exercise thrown in. All right then, how much is this expedition going to cost me? Dear Annabelle, Several weeks ago my husband decided to cut some branches off our ornamental cherry trees on our property line. Our neighbours have cattle, and when he was out there with his chainsaw these dumb beasts came over and were standing there watching him. Several large branches landed on our neighbour's side of the fence, and one even hit one of the cows. I'm afraid the cow took it rather badly and went a bit nuts.lt was twirling around it's field like a brahma bull at a rodeo. The noise attracted our neighbours, and when they saw what happened, they said they were going to sue us for damage to their cow. So far we haven't heard from them, and the said cow is grazing peacefully in their field. Should we inform our lawyer about the situation or keep quiet and hope the whole thing goes away? Signed: Sophie. Dear Sophie, People are famous for saying things in the heat of the moment, so take that into account before notifying your lawyer. If the cow seems fine, it probably is. Sit back and relax and everything will be fine. Good luck. It does bring to mind a poem. Maybe a bruise on a cow's back started it all: I've never seen a purple cow, I hope I never see one, But I can tell you this right now, I'd rather see than be one. nucm TIRES ,235/85Ri6 10 ply A/S R & M TIRE New and Used Tires — Quality Cars, Trucks and Campers — Brakes, Shocks and Front-end Service 26827 Fraser Highway 1856-5011 HAGAR THE HORRIBLE fo?- TMf3 MBtfT Y6AI2 BLONDIE 1 SHE SAID SHE -K ( WASN'T SOINS TO ) ~S SPEAK TOME FOR < lgfer A WHOUE WEEK ) SHOE BROOMHILDA PIZZA!

They played 11 playoff games in total and finished with a 4-5-2 record. They won a single game knock out series and won a 4 point series against Coquitlam. After finishing the Exhibition, Tiering, Regular season and Tournament games with a record of 19-16-6, in total with playoffs brings their record to 23-21-8. This is a very respectable finish for the Aldergrove squad playing in a very competitive Tier 2. However, beyond the winning aspects of hockey, these kids have put a lot of work into learning the game from a team concept as well as an individual concept. As they learn and developed their individual talents, they were able to incorporate them into the team systems and develop as all round hockey players. Next on their agenda is hosting the Aldergrove Atom Spring Tournament. This tournament will bring in top calibre teams from around the Province including Nanaimo, 100 Mile House, Fort St. John, and Williams Lake. This also includes the Aldergrove Atom A2 team who have faired competitively in Tier 4. TTie final road trip of the year will see the Al team travel to Trail on the Easter long weekend and battle for a first place finish. This trip will also be a great deal of fun for the boys. The local Atom Spring Tournament gets underway Wednesday March 20th and runs through to March 23rd. The "B" final will be at 4:30 pm Saturday the 23rd and the "A" final will follow at 6:15 pm. Good Luck to all teams involved. New license Striking gold in the valley fees in force VANCOUVER - Fred Mifflin, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, has announced the fees for Pacific recreational fishing licences in tidal waters, to take effect April 1. 1996. "As with commercial fishing licences, the new fee schedule reflects a realistic value for access to a unique fishing experience," Mifflin said. "The overriding principle is that those who benefit from privileged access to a public resource should pay a fee that reflects the value of the privi- lege." Under the new fee schedule for Canadian residents: •Annual licence fees will increase to $21 from the current $10 •Seniors' fees will increase to $11 from $5 •Licences for youths under 16 will remain free. In addition to annual licences, one, three and five-day licences are also available. The lower fees for seniors and the exemption for youth are designed to provide reasonable access to the recreational fishery. The cost of an annual licence for non-residents will be $101. A.C.S.S.

This gives the team a second banner to hang in the Aldergrove arena. The first was the Division Playoff. The boys played their hearts out knowing that these would be the last games to be played for the 1995/96 season. The record for the tournament was 4 wins, 1 tie. The first game MVP went to Ryan Roth (left wing). The second game MVP went to Mark Allen (center). The third game MVP went to Jeff Perdikis (goalie). The fourth game MV. went to Brad Masse (center). The final game MVP went to Jeff Perdikis (goal). Behind the bench was the coach Jim Scammell, assistant coach Tim Barry, trainer for the tournament Calvin Roth, and the team manager David Cieszecki. The team wishes to thank all the parents and families for their support during this six game hockey weekend. Bruins upend Langley By JOHN PARLEY ALDERGROVE - The AA Fraser Valley Conference champions, Aldergrove PeeWee A Bruins stunned the AAA champion Langley Eagles by beating the Eagles 4-3 on Langley's home ice. The loss put an end to the Eagles 14 game winning streak. Aldergrove grabbed a hard fought 2-0 lead through the first period. Mark Cassibo rushed down left wing, turned the defenceman inside out, and scored to the far side for the opening goal. Eric Strandt assisted. Marc Windle notched the second on a spinorama move, pounding a Strandt rebound to the back of the net. Langley came out strong in the second period and scored three straight goals to take a 3-2 lead. However, with only 7 seconds left in the period, Mark Cassibo scored to knot the count. Cassibo was set up in front by Mike Roberts, who had made a spectacular rink length rush. The team batded through the third until, with 3 minutes left, Jake Boake fed a pass to Cassibo and Cassibo's long shot beat the Langley goalie. Ice Chips: The win was especially sweet for the Aldergrove parents, who have had to endure arrogant comments from the Langley side such as "Aldergrove? What are we even doing here"... The arrogance,4s evident on the ice as well^phe of the Langley players injured a Bruin with a very illegal body check then smirked about it on the way to the box...Mark Cassibo's 3 goal effort was his second hat trick in 2 games and reflected his overall effort...The Bruins were short 3 players but still managed to go all out for the whole game. They played an outstanding team game -and rode the stellar goaltending of Davis Parley, who easily outplayed his counterpart in the Langley net, to the victory...The Brains held Langley scoring sensation Jeremy Jackson, rated #1 in the province by some, to a single tally...How good are the Brains playing? Langley just eliminated Tier One Champion Abbotsford in two straight games! Its off to Kimberley we go! The Bruins played 3 other games. On March 7th they let Seafair score two late goals to gain a 5-5 draw, stomped on Surrey Minor to the tune of 9-0 (Aaron Slagman with the shutout) on March 9th and hammered Surrey Minor in the return game on March 14 to the tone of 10-1. Teamwork by Warriors By WAYNE GRISEDALE ALDERGROVE - Novice hockey "Warriors" would like to thank their team sponsor, Subway, and Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association for a fun 1995-96 season. Coach Wayne thanks his awesome players: Cody "Wisecrack- er" Olson, Keith "Bruiser" White, Tanner "In your face" Hunter, T.J. "Sparkplug" Grisedale, Garrett "Bulldog" Kobliuk, Brad "Pipes" Thiessen, Brandon "Hot Shot" Nobbs, Brett "Flash" Roth, Gregory "Slash" Glover, Jeremy "Crash" Bolduc, Brian "Good- good" Carlson, Mike "One armed bandit" Rudnisky, James "Wheels" Tungate, and Layton "Spinner" Lavik. These boys learned to work so well together in passing, in play- making and in team spirit. I enjoyed coaching each one. Assistant coaches Bruce Nobbs and Stan Thiessen made my coaching job easy with their consistent sense of humor and sense of fair play. Thanks for a job well done. ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove PeeWee A Bruins are now 3-0 at the AA Provincial Championships in Kimberly. The Bruins have defeated Seafair 9-4, Dawson Creek 13-3, Kitimat 9A.

VANCOUVER - BC Liberal MLA Mike de Jong has called on Premier Clark to live up to his commitment to hold a full and open public inquiry into the iNDP stealing charity funds from bingo operations in Nanaimo. "Where's the public inquiry into the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society bingo that Clark promised during the NDP leader-, ship campaign?" asked de Jong. 'It was alleged to be a priority at the time but since being in the Premier's office he no longer considers it to be of importance." Clark had promised that, if elected NDP leader and Premier, he would ask "a senior member of the B.C. legal community to undertake a full public inquiry into the NCHS and related matters." ••'. 1996 CAPITAL PROJECTS AND PUBLIC HOUSES LANGLEY PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES to discuss 1996 capital projects THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WILL BE HOLDING THREE OPEN HOUSES TO DISCUSS CAPITAL WORK PROJECTS FUNDED FROM GENERAL REVENUE OR DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGES: OPEN HOUSE #1 THURS.
