;^-J^l*.;v.MM^ "POOR-BASHINGr" CRIES CRITIC £ti Welfare broken," says Glen Clark By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - With the exception of one vocal dissenter, Glen Clark's leadership campaign appeared to fare well among Fort Langley-Aldergrove NDP party members last week. The meeting in the community centre also heard Joan Small wood's appeal to party delegates; but the others in the race, including Corky Evans, failed to show up. Clark is glib and charismatic, although that slick big city image may hurt him in the hinterlands where people dont much care for Liberal leader Gordon Campbell either. On the other hand, Small- wood's modest and lowkey campaign for the hearts of old-style social democrats appears to be going nowhere. Judging by the mood in the room that night, and according to rumours circulating since, local NDP delegates will be giving Clark their ballots at next month's leadership convention. One gets the feeling that New Democrats are circling the wagons, fearful of criticism from within as well as from those on the outside. One elderly, longtime party member who charged Clark A love for competition and community makes Rayna Gibbs this year's winner of the Pete Swensson Youth Award. -Kurt Langmann photo Hard work pays for achievers By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - She's a winner in so many ways, and Rayna Gibbs now has a new feather to slick in her cap. The 17-year-old Aldergrove Secondary student is this year's recipient of the Pete Swensson Community Youth Award. She was surprised and delighted to receive the award at the township ceremony held Friday evening at the Civic Centre, along with this year's winner of the Eric Flowerdew Volunteer of the Year Award, Marvyn Shore. The applause from the packed room was a deserved reward for all the long hours of dedicated service to their community, which somehow never seems to get enough recognition. In an interview with The Star, Gibbs confessed she found it frustrating that there is*1flways a small core of any organization that does the actual grunt work. Her buddie, Liz said Gibbs is at the school from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. most days, coaching, refereeing, boosting or leading various groups. "I spend too much time here," said Gibbs ruefully. "I don't have time for other hobbies." However, this is not to be interpreted as regretful on her part as she waxes enthusiastically about her experiences during her five years at the school, and the three years prior at Shortreed Elementary. She's fiercely competitive, and before a recent leg injury sidelined her, she's been a winner on the school's track and field, basketball and volleyball teams, while earning a spot on the B Honour Roll. Voted most valuable player many times, she moved into the senior girls' basketball team while still in grade 10 — her position is guard. Please see page 14... Is anyone home at 24 Sussex Drive? ABBOTSFORD - B.C. Reform MP Randy White came out swinging at the Prime Minister earlier this week, calling him dangerous, arrogant and totally ignorant of B.C.'s concerns, as shown in recent public comments. White said that, if Chretien doesn't wake up soon, he's going to be responsible for a growing separatist movement in B.C. 'The Prime Minister has lost the confidence of his own caucus and the Canadian people, and should consider stepping down before it's too late," White said. 'Chretien's comments are becoming increasingly erratic, lacking in substance, and downright laughable. "He doesn't accept warnings about a B.C. separatist movement because, at the Commonwealth Games in Victoria, he saw everybody had a Canadian flag. This guy's become a joke," he said. "The problem is, according to the latest poll, three quarters of Quebecers now believe separation is inevitable. If that happens, I don't think B.C. will be far behind. Who will be laughing then?" White also said that Chretien doesn't have the depth to handle the unity crisis, and doesn't understand Quebec, B.C. or the Maritimes. 'What part of the country does he understand?"

Benefits program... "the most progressive changes since World War II." Citing a "huge increase in recipients," Clark said "welfare is broken, it's not sustainable" because while the numbers of recipients have increased during recessions, in times of economic recovery they've not decreased but rather "flattened." He said the province is currently paying $2- billion a year for people not to work, and there's been a "huge growth of employables (on wel- Please see page 3... m ■Hi VOL.38 NO.5 W^ifwmS^^M^^^^M^m WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31,1996 40 CENTS Established 1957 3089 - 272nd Street Fax: 856-5212 Phone: 856-8303 Murder suspect cleared ABBOTSFORD - A suspect in the October 14 murder of Tanya Smith and beating of Misty Cock- erill has been cleared in the case, after a DNA test failed to link him to the slaying of the Abbotsford teen. The man, who had been in custody for the last 56 days on an unrelated charge, was released last week by Supreme court justice H.A.D. Oliver. Brian Juriloff, lawyer for George Evenden, confirmed the test results and criticised the Abbotsford police department for releasing his client's name as being a suspect in the Smith murder. He referred specifically to the fact that Evenden was widely reported in the media as a prime suspect in the Smith case after police released his name, something not normally done until a charge has been laid. His name was not reported in the Star. Evenden was picked up by police in early December, because he bears a striking resemblance to a composite drawing of the suspect in the Smith case. Corner to see changes ALDERGROVE - The Esso station at 272 Street and Fraser Highway has been purchased by the 7-11 chain and will be renovated into a 24-hour convenience store and gas bar. The station's operator, Dick Wilson said 7-11 takes possession in April but he will continue to offer automotive repairs in a five-bay shop a few blocks to the east and will continue to hang the Esso "shingle" although he won't be selling gasoline from the new location. "I would have liked to stay here but it was not to be," said Wilson. "However, I'm optimistic about the new location. I'll have five bays and 111 be the only Esso repair shop east of Surrey;"7 Mike's Esso opened at Lefeuvre Road last year, and as it's on the Abbotsford side of the border it does not have to charge the GVRD levy on gasoline sales. Wilson said he doesn't believe that price differential will last much longer, as the Fraser Valley Regional District has large-scale transit developments it will probably be seeking gas levies to help fund it with. Toxic spill contained LANGLEY - A spill of about 400 litres of hydrochloric acid in northwest Langley was contained by firefighters Tuesday. The spill at a chemical plant in die industrial park, in the 19600-block of 56 Avenue, was accidental and was contained before damages or injuries were caused to the environment or public, said officials. Break-in targets computers By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Police are continuing to investigate the January 19 break and enter at Langley Home Support Service Society on Fraser Highway. Thieves broke in through a side window and made off with seven keyboards, six PCs, several 15" monitors, an HP printer, and several smaller items. A metal cash box was recovered, but the approximate $100 had been removed from it. Police are appealing to the people of Aldergrove to assist in locating the stolen property. Community police officer Al Wakelin said that the thieves may try to sell the goods, and people in the community should be on the look out for it. Meanwhile police are looking for the getaway vehicle described as a 'green hatchback.' Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call Langley RCMP at 532-3200 or the Aldergrove community policing station at 856-7386.

'The government of British Columbia would be off its rocker to participate in the federal Liberals1 national sales tax scheme. Not only would the province forfeit its ability to constrain and eventually reduce the provincial sales tax rate, it would surrender jurisdiction over an entire revenue base that, if anything, Ottawa should have no part of. "A national sales tax is really just another way of extending the GST and transferring tax costs from corporations to individuals. It's a non-starter for consumers that should be vigorously resisted by all B.C. politicians, especially by the six Liberal MPs who seem bent on selling the idea to their own constituents. "Regardless of what Paul Martin initially dangles before taxpayers' eyes to make a national sales tax seem attractive, British Columbians won't be lured into supporting his government's self- serving substitute for the GST." The duty of an Opposition (is) very simple...to oppose everything, and propose nothing. -Lord Stanley CORRECTION The Star's publishers apologize to our readers for errors in the third paragraph of the story, Towing contract investigated," January 24. Automotive Retailers Association executive director, D. Robert Clarke, said the story was incorrect in that their trade association "has at no time indicated any intention to expel" any of their members from their membership list. M&| Clarke also disputed the statement that they would mount a legal challenge to the contracts awarded by the Langley and Surrey governments. "While we did question the legality of the original Request for (Towing) Proposal and its implications with regard to the Motor Carrier Act, it is not at this time our intention to take legal action...but to follow up with the Motor Carrier Commission once the contracts are signed and formally in place." The Automotive Retailers Association is a trade association that represents the automotive aftermarket industry in B.C., and its offices are in Burnaby. The Star's publishers also offer their apologies to the ARA and its members for the inaccuracies in last week's story. The facts in the first two paragraphs of the story are accurate and The Star has documentation which confirms those statements. Separation would cost us dearly OTTAWA - Quebec separation would cost Canada a staggering $200 billion in lost economic growth, warns the chairman of one of the'country's biggest chartered banks. Other consequences of a divided country would be soaring interest rates, a plunge in the value of the dollar and recession conditions in some parts of Canada, says Bank of Montreal chairman Matthew Barrett These potential outcomes are a compelling* argument for all of us to overcome fatigue, set aside politician-bashing and work together for bold and innovative change," Matthew told the annual meeting of the bank's shareholders in Calgary. He warned all Canada's current fiscal and social problems will worsen if Canadians fail to defeat the threat to unity. "Our failure to resolve our national debate is already costing us dearly," said Barrett. 'It costs us every time we buy a can of orange juice with deflated Canadian dollars. Every time anyone in Canada takes out a loan, they pay an interest rate premium for political uncertainty. If you live in Quebec, you pay an additional premium for political uncertainty." Barrett oudined a "best-case" scenario where a separate Quebec would continue to use the Canadian dollar and the remaining nine provinces continued as a single federation. Even then, the consequences were dire. . Under that scenario, interest rates would rise by up to four per cent, with mortgages running as . high as 13 per cent. Borrowing money would be so costly, governments would be unable to eliminate deficits. The dollar would plunge to about 68 cents U.S. The cost of five years of higher interest rates, population movements, capital fleeing and less investment would "equal between $150 billion and $200 billion in foregone growth," said Barrett. The bank chairman called for a leaner federation with less duplication of government service and a devolution of power to the provinces. He argued the western provinces should get "enhanced roles" to give them the power that matches their size, population and economic leadership. MP Stephen Harper was not impressed that Barrett made his comments about Quebec in his riding. "They don't have to say these things in Calgary," Harper said. 'It's the Quebecers they have to tell diis to." NOTICE LANGLEY # SIDEWALK SNOW REMOVAL A reminder to all residents, occupants or owners of urban residential, industrial or commercial properties of their responsibility to keep sidewalks adjacent to their property free and clear of snow and ice. The Township of Langley Highway and Traffic Bylaw Section 64 states: Owners or occupiers of real property, (5) Zoned as urban residential, multiple family residential or residential mobile home park, fronting designated pedestrian routes shall remove snow and ice from the sidewalks and walkways fronting on the real property owned or occupied by them within 24 hours of first accumulation of such snow and ice; (6) Zoned as commercial, industrial pr institutional, shall remove snow and ice from the sidewalk and walkways fronting or abutting on real property or occupied by them by 10:00 in the forenoon.

Instead of maintaining the status quo, he said they've cut back on many welfare cheques and applied the savings to "extended health, dental and vision benefits to the working poor, so they're better off going to work at minimum wage." He also said that "ten years ago there were no 15 to 18 year olds on welfare" (Clark neglected to mention the relevant changes to child welfare legislation over the past decade wliich caused this) and he said the government has put aside $200-million for training which teens and other employables would now qualify for. One critic in the audience pointed out that there are not yet enough training programs available, and another assailed the "push to support private training, where instructors are not paid as well and there's no accountability." Clark responded that there's "a huge demand, a huge volume, and we have to open it up to both private and public institutions, as well as input from employers." A young union construction worker told Clark that his government has not done a good job of selling the public on the merits of the agreement to build the Island Highway, and asked that similar agreements be made on other projects. Clark praised the Island project for its higher numbers of apprenticeships, women and aboriginals, as well as "decent wages, but it only works on major projects. We will extend the agreement where it makes sense" and suggested that the forthcoming $300-million Mission-Stave Lake connector could be one. A fisherwoman expressed concerns about aboriginal land claims: "(Native affairs minister) 'John Cashore is not looking after the fishermen; B.C. fishermen .will pay the price of settlements."

Many citizens have complained about the lack of personnel and equipment out combating the problem. However, all the city-owned equipment, including 12 trucks with ploughs and sanders, two graders, three loaders, two backhoes, and two bobcats has been out 24 hours a day trying to cope with the unusually high snowfall. In addition 24 trucks, four loaders and three graders have been hired by the city to remove accumulated snow from roadsides and medians at night. Already more than half of the $400,000 annual snow removal budget has been spent, but more snow is not expected in the next few days. Unlike other municipalities; Abbotsford's policy calls for every road to be ploughed, but this level of service for over 900 kms of roads cannot be accomplished overnight. Many roads are not being ploughed to their full width because that would mean piling snow on sidewalks, making it impossible for property owners to clear sidewalks bordering their property, as required by the city bylaw. For safety reasons the city strongly discourages pedestrians from walking on roadways if sidewalks are not cleared. "Our crews are doing everything in their power to make our streets safe," said Ferguson. "All available equipment and personnel are out doing the best they can, and we ask residents for their patience and understanding." eral; we have no say. B.C.'s view is if we do a deal on fish it cannot be in the treaty, we can only accept the 'food component' (as opposed to commercial fisheries). It's one of the deal-breakers... and the current downsizing of fishing compounds the problem." Both Clark and Smallwood attacked the opposition, as well as governments in Alberta and Ontario, for their "destructive agenda." Smallwood said reductions to programs will mean "continuing hospital bed cuts and closures... college fees could be doubled (on top of the more than 33 percent increase to B.C. tuition fees during the past three years)." She agreed with one comment about ridding government of senior policy staff Still remaining from previous Social Credit governments: "We have to make sure the front lines have access to decisions... it will take more than one term to make the differences." Clark said "we're at a crossroads in this country, whether to build or tear down." He accused Campbell's Liberals of promising tax breaks to profitable businesses such as the banks, and said the Liberals' promise of $3-billion in spending cuts could not be made "even if we eliminated Pharmacare, universities, 25 percent of teachers, highway maintenance, B.C. Transit and Ferries, we wouldn't come close to saving that much money. It's twice the per capita cut made in Ontario." He said his campaign will "limit the focus on what average working people want us to do: the issues are job security, health care if they're sick, education for their kids, and crime and safety. People want to walk the street and not fear for their safety. We have to get tough on crime and its causes. In a nutshell, it's security, and we have to have concrete, specific examples of what well do." ♦9,995 '93 GEO STORM SPORT coupe, extra dean, local car gale '95-95 TRACKER convertibles, |q aae great selection av*iUble from «P|9«f9 PRESTON CHEV • OLDS • GEO • CADILLAC 19990 Langley By-Pass 534-4154 dlr #9307 We Serve ALDERGROVE LIONS CLUB Proudly serving our communities' needs for 25 years, 1970 to 1995.

While citizens of this country. have been asked repeatedly to accept cuts to programs and to cinch their belts to help deal widi the debt and deficit, our elected representatives seem keen to hang on to the outmoded economic prospect of spending themselves out of debt It just won't work. What Canadians have been telling Ottawa is that they want spending reductions. But, Canadians also want to see the fat trimmed from government. Ottawa has trimmed thousands of civil servants, but we wind up paying for them through social security. That's just lip service, as is hitting people with so- called sin taxes. Canadians are infuriated when they see development grants going to jam companies, or research grants being given to academics researching the navel fluff gathering techniques of the lesser spotted gorilla penguin. In good times, we should fund such things. In lean times, we cut back. Canadians do it in their own homes, but the governing Liberals don't seem to fully grasp. Reformer Herb Grubel has condemned the committee's recommendation for increased spending rather than making cuts and rightly so. What's left to be done is for Canadians to tell Ottawa the same thing before the swelling of another tax revolt begins. ... AND IN NEED OF TOUGH MEDICINE Our country is broke By NIGEL HANNAFORD The rate at which Canadians are losing their homes is climbing fast, as a result of job-losses, high debt levels and a stagnant real- estate market. This according to the Globe and Mail, is the conclusion to draw from recently-released figures from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp, which insures those mortgages where the buyer contributes less than a 25 per cent downpayment. The figures show that 7391 people lost their homes last year, a pace of foreclosure reminiscent of the ugly days of the early 80s. For the people directly affected, the loss of a home is an extreme and personal indication of the state of the economy. One does not, however, have to lose one's home to know that things aren' t what they used to be. To put it plainly, I have never, ever, heard so many people complaining about being broke. Not necessarily property-broke, but cash broke. An unpaid Visa bill. No loose change. A wallet with more 7-11 coupons than twenties. Massive household debt. Now people, from the street- cleaners to the bankers, have always grumbled, true. But these days, it is possible to see what they're getting at. Statistics Canada, for instance, produced figures a few months ago to show that average household incomes slipped about a thousand dollars between 1991 and 1993. This drop was absolute, not in seasonally-adjusted, inflation-factored dollars. Given that some professions - one thinks of the civil service - were relatively immune to the economy during those years, one must deduce that other areas suffered disproportionately. And of course, one doesn't have to look far. Ontario's manufacturing industry was severely depressed; middle management was (and continues to be) trimmed and a whole long list of professions was lost to the computer chip. An example? How many more bank-tellers would there be, without the ubiquitous'bank-machine? Finally, most of the new jobs being created - and the one bright spot is that job creation is still tak- . ing place - are coming in at $10 an hour or less. Would all of this explain why people are feeling broke? I think .', so, but there is more. *_^.!»*.'AS Canadians, we have been caught up in the world economy grinder and we have tried to pretend for too long that we weren't involved in it And human nature being what it is, we have not supported those political leaders who were honest enough to point out the problem. Back in the 50s and 60s, when the expectations of many of us were formed, the Third World was relatively undeveloped. Even Japan had yet to peak. Our competitors were America, Germany and Great Britain. Among them, indeed among the nations of the world, the Canadian standard of living was the best Growing up in England in the 50s, I was awed by the prosperity of my Canadian uncle. When I got here, I found that, as he had said, there were lots like him. Now, however, our most serious competitors are in the Third World and there is just no way that Canadian manufacturers paying $20 an hour can compete with people earning $2 an hour. Canadian retailers buy the Third World product though. Result we get great rays in the shops, but the only jobs are for salesgirls at minimum wage. As for the store's accounting, that's all done at a head office by somebody with a 486. It's a far cry from the bookkeeping department upstairs which kept several people busy. Meanwhile, we continue to demand the best health care system in the worid and feel obliged to keep the undeserving poor in beer and bingo along with food on the table for the deserving. We simply can't do it all any more. There isn't the basic product to pay for it all any more. Smart people realized that's how it was going back in the seventies when we could have made the adjustment fairly easily. Our national leaders didn't want to go to the electorate with it though, so they kept borrowing money. Now the government owes $600 billion and the average Canadian pays over a half of his income in taxes of all kinds, to support the edifice. With what's left, he supports a household debt amounting to 92 per cent of the country's gross domestic product So here we are. Broke. It's not much good getting angry at the microchip, or the politicians. Ban the microchip and the first thing to go will be your VCR and your microwave oven and the politicians? They were voted in by a majority. $*£*x They say that the first step on the road to an alcoholic's recovery is the admission of a problem. Canada's first step is similar, a general reduction of expectations. Personally, that means avoiding debt at all costs. In public life, it means supporting those politicians who actively go after waste and are not afraid to cut the programs we can't afford, no matter how attractive diey might be. It is the only way. Even so, people will never feel like they have all the money they need. They may, however, be able to hang on to their houses. (Nigel Hannaford is Publisher of the Alberni Valley Times). LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Enough is enough Editor, The Star, Sir, The public and many politicians are left confused about the costs associated with land claims settlements, yet it seems that B.C. has already paid. British Columbia's terms of Union with Canada in 1871 specified under Article 13 that "the Dominion Government was to assume charge of the Indians". From the original Terms of Union dated 1871, Article 13 reads as follows: "The charge of the Indians, and Canada is not a real country, says former MP Lucien Bouchard. Hopefully the would-be president? king? emperor? of Quebec will find that out the hard way some fine day, when his pension cheque from Ottawa bounces. How can a country, that is not a real country, be expected to honor a simple piece of paper like a $32,000 pension cheque, that is worth less than the paper it is printed on? Get out and shovel Editor, The Star, Sir, It's been a week since the snow has fallen on our community. Happily, for those of us who rely on our cars, the streets are relatively clear. But for those who travel by foot or rely on the bus, the slushy, icy sidewalks are a nightmare. The city has asked, homeowners and businesses to clear the sidewalks on the edge of their properties. Several have done so (thank you), but many still have not Elderly people, small children, pregnant women and those who have trouble getting around are having a heck of a time floundering on the slushy walkways and crosswalks. They can't even rest on the snow covered bus stop benches. Yet they must go out, to buy groceriej-and to do other errajijds. Some, especially the elderly and the disabi«(tttiiajt'p,> imprisoned at home until the snow and ice melts, or until it it cleared away. the trusteeship and management of the lands reserved for their use and benefit shall be assumed by the Dominion Government, and a policy as liberal as that hitherto pursued by the British Columbia Government shall be continued by the Dominion Government after the Union. To carry out such policy, tracts of land of such extent as it has hitherto been the practice of the British Columbia Government to appropriate for that purpose shall from time to time be conveyed by the Local Government to the Dominion Government in trust for the use and benefit of the Indians, on application of the Dominion Government; and in case of disagreement between the two Governments respecting the quantity of such tracts of land to be so granted, the matter shall be referred for the decision of the Secretary of State for the Colonies." In 1924, B.C.'s obligations were discharged: "By the passage of Order in Council PC. 1265, dated July 19, 1924, the federal government formally acknowledged that B.C. had satisfied all the obligations of Article 13 of the Terms of Union respecting the furnishing of lands for Indian reserves and described the process as a 'full and final setdement of all differences between the governments of the Dominion and the Province.' Such an acknowledgement by the federal government is support for the long-held provincial position that B.C. had fully discharged its ' obligations to its Indians even though it had done so differendy . from the rest of Canada." So this is an open challenge to the folks to get out there and shovel! Help prevent some bad bruises or even broken bones. Show your customers you care. Get colleagues, the employed and unemployed, friends, teammates, neighbors, teenagers, classmates, Adopt-A-Block pals, drinkin' buddies and fellow church goers out there. A group effort can do a lot in a short time. Make a party out of it, even if only for fifteen minutes. If you can't shovel yourself, pay the kid next door five bucks to keep your sidewalk clear. We are all a part of the community, and our involvement helps make it a good place to live. So shovel. cToiity mS^k* I have asked the Supreme Court to make a declaration based on a constitutional finding. British Columbian's need to have the "who pays?" question resolved, not by a political, but by a legal, definition. British Columbia needs a strong provincial voice that says "enough is enough". We must move forward on the matter of land claims but this is a federal responsibility and costs should be borne by all Canadians. The government of British Columbia must be at the negotiating table protecting the interests of British Columbia, not giving them away. I believe B.C. has already paid, and should not be paying again. ' tyk_B_Rarc9iiJWid£&, - * i _■* *,#/.*'..

JANUARY 31,1996 GET RID OF THAT SNOW Seniors take part in forum No valid reason to be chintzy By MAUDIE MacFHERSON ALDERGROVE -1 have often heard Aldergrove referred to as the bedroom community of Langley, and after this week I'm quite sure that's what we are - a forgotten area. There is a business section in Aldergrove, and whoever is responsible for clearing snow on the Fraser Highway left a lot to be desired. Why would anyone push the snow from the centre of the road to the side, leaving very little room for anyone to park in front of any business place. Not only does it make it dangerous and difficult for anyone to reach the sidewalk but almost impossible for a handicapped person to get to their vehicle without mishap. This is a disgusting way to treat the residents of Aldergrove: Every responsible council should budget a certain amount of money for snow-clearing, and since diere's been very little snow in the past two years, there shouldn't be any reason for council to be so chintzy. This is not only my opinion, several have spoken to me in regards to why we are being treated in this maimer. Almost everything at the OAP hall was cancelled last week, since the parking lot was not cleared until Saturday. The Whist party, Carpet bowling, Choral practice, Bridge were all cancelled, so the only things I have to report on are the Saturday dance and Sunday's Pot Luck dinner. The dance on Saturday, Jan. 27, was fairly well attended, even though the weather was not too desirable. Around 57 came to enjoy dancing. The spot dances went to Fer- nand Elantier and Ruth Jackson and Bertha McGuire and George Speerin. 50-50 were won by Dick Lockhart, Selina Davies and Harry Fraser. Door prizes went to Marguerite Charles and Al Lane. A card was signed for Cliff Anderson, who is in the Vancouver General Hospital recovering from an operation. Good luck Cliff, hope you'll soon be home and feeling better. It's been quite a week for seniors, who have been mostly housebound or at least not stray- Juno-award entertainer appears at Theatre in ing too far from home. I rather enjoyed the time, had some good games of scrabble and Crokinole and did more socializing in our building than any other week, so time passed quickly. There was a nice variety of food at the Pot Luck last Sunday, and you could take your pick as to entertainment. Some played carpet bowling, others shufflcboard, and still others chose tile rummy; the game I played was called "Frustration', a good game, but well named. Choral practice Friday, Feb.2 will start at 9:30 am rather than 10 am as usual. This way we will get in a litde extra time after missing last week's practice. This Friday, February 2, is the General meeting of the OAP #71 at 1:30 pm. Memberships are winning children's Charlotte Diamond Surrey Arts Centre two matinee perfor- available. Come and join us - it's a good way to make friends. Well, that's it for this cold and snowy week. Hope the Bobby Burn's parties were not cancelled and that the haggis got properly addressed.

Benefits program has launched a campaign of poor-bashing and taken actions which abuse citizens who are poor. Social Democrats must recognize that basic principles are being broken and boycott the party if it doesn't change. The Evidence. Welfare Cuts: The new B.C. Benefits program cuts over 100- million dollars from the incomes of welfare recipients (35-million in direct cuts and 70-million in indirect cuts). Before the cuts, SPARC research estimated B.C. welfare rates at 50% of the poverty line. B.C.Cuts vs. Ontario and Alberta: B.C.'s welfare cuts are more severe than those made by premiers Harris in Ontario and Klein in Alberta. For example: A childless couple between 50 and 55 in B.C. have had their combined monthly living allowance cut from $383.00 to $291.00, a cut of 24% for people whose unemployment rate is over 50%. The same couple in Ontario would receive an additional $86.00 a month or $2.85 per day. In Alberta, a modier of two children can earn and keep $115.00 a month. In B.C., a similar mother can keep nothing. The B.C. Benefits plan reduced her $200.00 exemption to zero. The Training Fraud: The B.C. Benefits program says welfare is ended for youths 18 to 24. They are now covered by a training contract called Youth Works. The fraud conclusion comes from the fact that 80% of youths on welfare will still receive a welfare cheque ($46.00 less) while only 10% will be eligible for vocational training and education. At the same time, 100% will be subject to useless punitive job search regulations. For adults on welfare, the program offers even less training. Again, only 10% are eligible but their eligibility is to go on a two year waiting list for vocational, training. The reason why so few youdis and adults on welfare are eligible for training is revealing. Single youths and adults have to be on welfare continuously for nine months to qualify for vocational training. But by nine months, 80% of recipients have found a job on their own and of the remaining 20%, only 10% are suitable for the training. The Rhetoric of Poor Bashing: At every opportunity, Glen Clark is saying that the welfare system has to be abandoned, because welfare recipients are better off on welfare than working for minimum wage, and that there are thousands of minimum wage jobs available. Clark's words indicate cleariy that the NDP government has abandoned Social Democratic principles. If dignity is important, no person is better off on welfare. Clark's words not only insult welfare recipients, but his facts are wrong. Single recipients would receive $14,000.00 annually working for minimum wage against $6,000.00 from welfare. For welfare to pay more than minimum wage, a single mother must have two or more children, a qualification which reduces Mr. Clark's target population to less than 15 % of all welfare recipients. With Mr. Clark's facts being so wrong, his actions are "poor bashing". His message is clear, welfare recipients are not motivated. But again, what are the facts? [How motivated are young people Who have- to resort to welfare? - According to government statistics, 60% of youthful recipients have returned to work within three months and 80% within nine months. Mr. Clark also tries to discredit the welfare system by saying that people are going on welfare in record numbers. Again, his facts are misleading. If U.I. and employment changes are factored in welfare, growth from 1982 to 1984 is similar or exceeds the growth in the 1990s. There are four obvious reasons why Mr. Clark is anxious to discredit the welfare system and ridicule welfare recipients. The first is to get money to balance the budget Tne second reason is to hide the unbelievable 100-million dollar cut to welfare cheques and the poor bashing contained in the B.C. Benefits program, and fourthly, he wants to appeal to right wing voters' near hatred of welfare recipients. Abuse of Recipients: The most disturbing aspect of the B.C Benefits program is the sudden increase in the abuse of recipients. The Ministry staff can't be faulted. They are suddenly given new regulations to enforce, some of them punitive and some ridiculous. They are reminded of the behaviours for which they can refuse or cancel welfare cheques. Under new regulations, they have to refuse help to out of province families with young children and have to refer families wanting food help to food banks. Senior welfare bureaucrats are confused by Mr. Clark's Gingrich-like pronouncements. Following are two examples of recipients being threatened: A woman on welfare for 16 years because of emotional and physical disabilities, on requesting a food voucher is told that, if she continues to follow her usual pattern of requesting extra aid, she wiU have her cheque administered. This is a long time punitive measure used against recipients, who regularly ask for extra food help. In this procedure, the Ministry pays all the fixed expenses directly and then issues a cheque for the balance. This woman had never received this threat and she was devastated by it. The second example also concerns a woman on welfare for several years. Her worker called her in and told her, that her rent was so high she couldn't live on her cheque and she had to reveal her other sources of income or her cheque would be cancelled. The woman, who had no other sources of income, broke down and asked to see the supervisor. He told the woman she would not have her cheque cancelled. The worker apologized and said that it wasn't his fault, because the District Director had just issued a directive reminding workers of the procedure for challenging recipients who paid a large proportion of their cheque for rent. The Need For a Boycott! The deep cuts to welfare incomes severs the principle of distributive justice. Blaming welfare recipients for their poverty and questioning their motivation to be self- supporting are attacks on their dignity. Respect for a citizen's dignity is the most fundamental of Social Democratic principles. The evidence is definitive. The NDP government is violating Social Democratic principles. Social Democrats have no choice but to boycott the government until it cancels the welfare cuts and ceases its poor bashing.

GLASGOW - Robert Bums may have written more than 50 radical poems published anonymously in newspapers 200 years ago, say scholars attending an international conference Thursday to mark the bicentenary of the poet's death. Scholars at the conference in Glasgow will decide whether the poems, which appeared in the Morning Chronicle in London and the Edinburgh Gazetteer, represent one of the most significant literary finds of the century. The poems, all published in the 1790s, are said to be remarkably similar to known poems by Burns and are outspoken and critical of the government Patrick Hogg, a writer who is researching a book on the poet, believes that Burns did not put his name to the poems, because he had signed a sworn statement promising not to indulge in radical political activities. Burns was working as an exciseman when the Sedition Laws were passed in 1792, making it an offence to promote radical political systems. FIRST AID TIP5!

Measles is a highly infectious disease that starts with a cough and fever and then develops into a rash. In rare cases it can lead to brain damage and death. In Vancouver teams of public health nurses will be working in school auditoriums, setting up equipment, and calling classes down one by one. Clinics will also be set up in preschools and local health units. Doctors in private practice will be notified and asked to fill any gaps. Parents of all school children will be notified in writing when the clinic is happening in their school, and have to give their written consent before the shots are administered. Anyone with questions should contact their doctor or local health unit. Visitors invited to cafeteria LANGLEY - If you visit a friend or relative at Memorial Hospital and want a quick meal, you'll notice a big change in the lower level cafeteria at the hospital. First of all, it's moved to a new and larger space, and, best of all, there are no signs saying "visitors not allowed". "In the past, we wanted to welcome anyone to the hospital cafeteria, but the small space and slow check-out system made it impossible for us to serve staff within the time allocated for their lunch," said Rosemary Best, director of dietetic services at LMH. 'Now, however, a larger space and the chance to design a new cafeteria from the ground up has given us many opportunities to improve our services." The first change is that the limitation on when visitors can use the cafeteria can be removed - better service and faster check-out means time enough for everyone to receive service. The chance to redesign the layout and purchase new equipment has allowed Best and her staff to reconsider the menus. Most noticeable is the addition of a deli sandwich bar, so lunch time guests can have a "custom made" sandwich made fresh on the spot. The new cafeteria has been named Evergreens, reflecting the wooded view from its large windows. LMH infection control officer Terry Dickson's suggested name was chosen from the hundreds submitted by hospital staff.

Children's Hospital in the fundraiser for a new teenager's lounge area (more than $15,000 was raised this way by CFOX last week), but was even happier when it occurred to him that the wood, brought here from Ontario some 66 years ago, would be ideal for making an electric guitar body with real character. Over the years several million feet have stomped on it, many of the great entertainers have sent their sounds or vibes into the wood, more than a few drinks have been spilled on it - and a Les Paul guitar is essentially made of a laminated maple top glued onto a backing slab of mahogany. Langmann has the maple and mahogany, but is looking for a guitar neck and spare parts for the project; call The Star if you can help out. Sprung dance floors are quite common in Europe and are a real joy for dancers who cant take the hard impact of concrete or tiled floors. The Commodore has replaced its sprung floor, but the only other one in this area is the sprung floor of Matsqui Community Hall in Matsqui Village. The latter features the celtic-influenced rock of The Paperboys on March 30; call 826-5937 for ticket information, -ciaraiana Langmann photo Watch it for the kids ^mETyCEr^ Feb. 10 & 11, 1996 Plaza of Nations Broadcast live on BCTV & CHEK Celebrating 30 years of helping B.C.

This new live album follows hard on the heels of a couple of other recent live albums — but fortunately, Morrison is just as good live as in the studio. Along with Fame, the guests include plenty of hot talent: Pee Wee Ellis, Alec Dankworth, Guy Barker and others cooking up hot swinging jazz at Ronny Scott's London nightclub. There's a lot of cover songs, too, making it unusual for Morrison: Gershwin, Mose Allison, Lester Young, and a credible version of Kay & Gordon's That's Life (yes, the Sinatra chestnut). It's not nearly as meditative as most Morrison albums — you can dance with songs like The New Symphony Sid and Your Mind Is On Vacation. I also get a kick out of seeing that Ronnie Scott's still alive and well: he gave my wife and I his own private table on our wedding night some 22 years ago when Montreal's Oscar Peterson had the venue filled to standing room only.

In the university's 35-year history, the donation is the largest ever received. 'This gift is a tremendous encouragement," said Dr. Snider. "It will open many possibilities for new program development and enhancement, and for financial assistance for students." The university will receive the gift over the next six years. Plans for exactly how the gift will be used are still being developed, but, according to Ron Kuehl, vice-president for university advancement, the results will be far-reaching. 'This is a magnificent gift - a landmark for Trinity Western," said Kuehl. 'The impact on the programs currendy available and others being developed will be enormous." The deferred gift was made through Trinity Western University Foundation, a crown foundation, and is separate from the current $5-miUion Vision of Excellence capital campaign which has achieved $3.6-million since its launch in May last year. Trinity Western University is a privately funded, public university offering a diverse liberal arts and sciences program with undergraduate and graduate degrees in 26 major areas of study.

S§5£ Hell is still harsh reality, says Church of England By VICTORIA COMBE LONDON - Hell exists and we shall all face a Day of Judgment, an unusually hard-line Church of England report says. The Mystery of Salvation, the third in a series on the Church's beliefs by the Doctrine Commission, says that Hell is a state of annihilation or "total non-being", rather than eternal torment. Hell has been played down by the Church for two centuries to try to end a "religion of fear", in which people were terrified into believing. But this report, commissioned by the House of Bishops chaired by the Archbishop of Canterbury, rejects any belief that all people of all faiths will automatically be saved. "No one can be compulsory installed in Heaven," it says. 'The possibility remains for eacbr human being of f final rejection of God. Final judgment therefore remains a reality." It is also uncompromising on Looking into Christianity's failures, future LANGLEY - Trinity Western University hosts a public symposium called Why Christian Leaders Fall and What We Can Do About It. This one-day integrative symposium is hosted by TWU's Graduate Counselling Psychology program with guest speakers Dr. Roy Bell, professor of family ministries at Regent College; Seatde psychologist Dr. Grant Martin; and Dr. Don Page, vice- president for academic affairs at TWU.

The traditional images of Heaven with angels and harps and Hell as a flaming pit are rejected in place of more conceptual understandings. "Hell is not eternal torment, but the final and irrevocable choosing of that which is opposed to God so completely and so absolutely that the only end is total non-being." Heaven is not "eternal and stat-. ic perfection", but an everlasting 'participation in the life of God". The report addresses feminist theology and acknowledges that sin has always been described from a male point of view. It suggests that pride would have been given less prominence if women had been more involved in writing theology. They might have wished to place a greater emphasis on sin "as the failure to assert and take responsibility for oneself. But the report is not in favour of using feminine pronouns when talking about God. It recommends the use of 'God", rather than He when possible, but says that terms such as "Godself" rather than "Himself are obtrusive and confusing. The former Bishop of Durham, the Rt Rev David Jenkins, who rejected the existence of Hell in lectures two years ago, said Wednesday: '1 believe that the love of God in the end will find it possible to save everyone." The report was welcomed by Anglican evangelicals, who had criticised the Church for failing to be authoritative about fundamental beliefs. 'It is a strong traditional piece of Anglican theology," said the Rt Rev John Taylor, the former Bishop of St. Albans, an evangelical who is on the Doctrine Commission. "Anything less and I would have been unhappy." He said that people did want to be saved 'from the poinUessness of life".

"Teaching rural youth and families about safety on the farm and around farm machinery is essential to prevent accidents, especially among children," said Zirnhelt '1 am pleased to see the 4-H community working in partnership with several other groups to carry out this program in B.C.'s rural communities." The program is a partnership between the B.C. Farm and Ranch Safety and Health Association, B.C. 4-H Provincial Council and Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. First year funding of $24,150 will be provided by the Canadian Agriculture Safety Program through the Canadian Coalition for Agricultural Safety and Rural Health, sponsored by the federal department of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. 'The program's first priority is to focus on the youth involved in 4-H," said FARSHA manager Bruce Johnson. 'From there we can reach beyond to create a high level of farm safety awareness in the whole community." The first phase of the program includes development of a farm safety training kit for use by each of the 240 4-H clubs in the province. Kits will target nine to 14-year-old 4-H members and include a manual, leader's guide and activities for members to use at club meetings. Each 4-H club will also appoint a new youth safety officer with the responsibil- ity to raise awareness of farm safety among their peers. "In addition, B.C.'s 30 4-H districts will recruit a volunteer adult as district safety co-ordinator," said Colleen Lepik, secretary manager of the B.C. 4-H Provincial Council. 'These people will provide leadership support and help co-ordinate district 4-H farm safety programs." The 4-H Farm Safety Program will continue through to 1999, as funding becomes available through CASP and other sponsors.

Barry Peters, Professional Agrologist and former garden columnist for the Vancouver Sun, has agreed to write about the subject for out readers. Peters reside in the Aldergrove area where he spends his busy retirement years growing nursery stock, specifically Rhododendrons, Holly, black and red Currant bushes on his Cedar Cottage Farm and Nursery. The column, will appear again in March, when the Star resumes the monthly Home and Garden feature. This time Peters writes about pruning fruits and ornamental trees. Pruning fruit and ornamental trees By BARRY PETERS, P. Ag. ALDERGROVE - Pruning of fruit trees and ornamentals should be completed when trees are dormant between late fall and early spring, before the flower and leaf buds begin to swell. The work should preferably be done when temperatures are moderate (slightly frosty or above). Because at very low temperatures wood .becomes brittle, serious injury can result from pruning under those conditions; frost can also enter the cut ends of branches and cause die back under these circumstances. There are several reasons for pruning: 1. Removal of dead, damaged or diseased limbs. 2. Improvement of fruit and flower formation. 3. Removal of undesirable growth such as crossing branches, dense buildup in tree centre, nonproductive suckers. The main rule of pruning is to cut branches to an outside shoot or dormant bud so that new growth will be mostly horizontal. Generally branches growing into the centre of the tree should be removed. Suckers (watersprouts) are long vertical shoots from the previous season which are nonproductive and should be removed. Do not remove any more than 20% of a tree's growth in one season. Old neglected trees can be rejuvenated gradually over a period of 3 or 4 years. Do not leave short branch stubs when pruning. Always cut flush with the limb from which the branch originates otherwise the stub will die back and result in damage to the tree. Cuts larger than one inch diameter should be sealed with pruning wax or a good oil base paint Spray the tree with dormant spray when pruning is complete.

Kell V Langl 14 THE ALDERQROVE STAR, JANUARY 31,1996 South Aldergrove residents Russ (loft) and Tyler Miller, 4, worked together on a snowman and an igloo while the snow was fresh and soft, Jan. 24. This week's cold snap and winds have turned a lot of the packed snow into ice, but the fun continues for sledders and boarders off the mostly-cleared roads. Take a cue from Tobin, MLA tells Clark VICTORIA - MLA Gary Farrell-Collins has challenged the winner of the NDP leadership convention to follow Brian Tobin's lead and call an election immediately. 'Tobin realized that winning the leadership of his party is not a mandate from the people to govern," said Farrell-Collins. 'Tie did the right thing and called an elec tion so the people could decide. Whoever wins the NDP leadership race must do the same thing." Farrell-Collins said that calling the election immediately after the leadership would also prevent the new NDP Leader from using taxpayer money to help them win the next election. "We all remember the letter from Brian Gardiner, leaked last summer, that outlined a strategy whereby government and the NDP would split the cost of advertising partisan NDP initiatives," said Farrell-Collins. 'That, combined with the $6.2- billion in pre-election promises they made last fall, paint a picture that shows taxpayers footing the bill for the NDP to buy votes. This misuse of public funds could be avoided if the new leader called an election immediately." High achievers... From front... Basketball is clearly her favourite game. While she's helped coach the girls' rugby team despite its lacklustre track record, she found her greatest joy in promoting basketball in local elementary schools through the Little Dribblers and Hoopaholics programs. "We have to develop it at the elementary level, it's the only way to get kids involved so they follow through at secondary school. We teach them the basics." Her leadership class also organized the grade 8's sports day last year ~ Tm very proud of the way that came together" -- and an alumni game against the senior giris' basketball team. Committees she's worked on have included drug and alcohol programs and the recent Haunted House fundraiser for her grad class. Gibbs is quite modest about her achievements, but those who nominated her are quite adamant about her worthiness. Principal Graham Leask said her volunteer work has been "exemplary" and teacher/basketball coach Nadine Luteijn called her "a gifted young lady. She excels in all areas of school life... I am most impressed with Rayna's ability to successfully balance all aspects of school life; Although she keeps incredibly busy widi all of her activities, she never hesitates to help a fellow student or teacher." Teacher Gord Dennison added that, "Rayna has demonstrated a good work ethic and a responsible attitude toward bpth her studies and athletics." Gibbs, who is currendy registering for general studies at University College of the Fraser Valley, said that she was honoured with the award but was at a loss as to Pelle (Pete) Swensson's own history. She was pleased to have this reporter tell her that the late Swensson was a wise-cracking vtyz.^'.M!!W^^^:1iM^A1^4.ty and genial man whose accomplishments included Olympic competition during his youth in Sweden, numerous international awards for his photography, a career in farming and a stint as Langley township's first parks and recreation manager. He initiated and promoted the Langley Walk.. This reporter also remembers watching in awe, as Swensson coached his young protege, future world champ Debbie Brill, who was developing her weird backward flip over die highjump at the local high school. Tbe Star office has several mounted prints of Swensson's photos, including one of Debbie and her little sister doing the now-famous "Brill Bend." His widow, Doris still lives in Aldergrove and though she no longer operates her successful kennel, she is involved with local arts and seniors activities. The Flowerdew award winner, Marvyn Shore is a longtime volunteer for the Langley Meals on Wheels, Senior Resources Society and Hospice Society. The retired lawyer is "loyal, dedicated and reliable," according to Meals on Wheels administrator Pauline Huth. "Marvyn is a warm, sympathetic man with a big heart and a sincere love for others." Hospice spokesperson Kay Johnson said, "Marvyn is there to learn more skills for helping others. He also offers support to other volunteers in their work with hospice..." Seniors Resource spokesperson Sharon Birnie said, "Marvyn's quiet, conscientious and friendly attitude has endeared him to all who work alongside him here at the centre." The late Eric Flowerdew served as township councillor for 20 years, along with stints as recreation commission chair, school trustee, hospital board director, and was instrumental in procuring the first budget appropriation for township parks and recreation. .Reservoirs that have been created for generating electricity are also beautiful areas for recreation.

Getting back to basics "You're in your WHAT season?" my friend asked with skepticism. "RRSP season! It traditionally is the time of year when many people - finally - start to think about their retirement savings plan contributions for the past year." "Ha!! So I am way ahead of the game because I have been contributing $50.00 per month into an RRSP. What is the big deal?" she said proudly. 'Well," I began, "some people fail to contribute throughout the year and find themselves needing to scramble in February to purchase RRSPs. Others, perhaps even you, find that their regular contributions will not bring uiem die kind of retirement they desire and decide to contribute more. This is why we call it RRSP season." I started to explain to my friend the importance of RRSPs. At this time of year, when the last stubborn needles from our departed Christmas trees have been vacuumed and the last turkey sandwiches are gone, many people start to think about reducing income taxes through RRSPs. In fact, this is the best way to build wealth and reduce taxes and. should be an integral part of any financial plan. Despite the. feet that over 5- million Canadians contributed last year, many people still do not understand the importance of RRSPs to building a secure future. Benefits of RRSPs include reducing taxable income, larger income tax returns, and a method of disciplining yourself to place regular savings into a retirement plan. Everyone can benefit from them, whether old or young, or m any income-tax bracket. For those in a high tax bracket, RRSPs allow you to reduce the amount of tax paid, and to let your capital grow without being taxed. For those with lower incomes, they provide a method to discipline yourself to contribute to a retirement that will not be supported very well by our restraining governments. Common to all, though, is the amount of choice we have in choosing the types of products we want our RRSPs to be in. Even compared to a few years ago, so many more investment vehicles are now eligible for our RRSP program. Stocks,Strip Bonds, GICs, mutual funds, and many others can now be used in RRSPs. It is important to know how to take advantage of these products. Also, many more financial advisors, brokers, mutual fund salespeople, credit union, banks or investment consultants now compete to serve your investment needs. Choosing the right person to handle all of this for you is just as important as choosing the right investments. This makes things seem more confusing and raises the importance of educating oneself to be able to understand all the available choices. Because of all this potential confusion, over the next several weeks this column will be devoted to educating our readers about the many uses and benefits of RRSPs and smart investing. Weekly articles will devoted to your questions, great investments for your RRSP in 1996, seeking financial advice and many other helpful topics that will assist you in achieving your financial goals. ergrove mon In a muddle over your RRSP's???

By WALTER PEARCE More answers to common RRSP questions: Do I need RRSPs if I have a pension at work? Most corporate pension plans cannot provide all the financial security most Canadians need during retirement years. So it's always wise to have RRSPs to supplement your pension income. How much can I invest? The RRSP contribution limit for the 1995 taxation year is 18% of earned income to a maximum of $14,500. More specifically, if you are a member of a pension plan, it is 18% of your 1994 Earned Income (maximum of $14,500) less your 1994 Pension Adjustment You'll find the amount on the 1994 Notice Of Assessment mailed to you with your tax refund and/or confirmation. Or, find your Pension Adjustment in Box 52 of the T4 slip you received last February. Subtract this amount from 18% of your 1994 Earned Income or $14,500, whichever is less. What is a Pension Adjustment? The Pension Adjustment is an annual calculation as prescribed under the Income Tax Regulations and helps determine how much you can contribute to an RRSP. The calculation includes the amount of your contribution to a company pension plan (or deferred profit sharing plan), the amount your employer contributes and the eventual benefits. What happens if I can't contribute all that I'm allowed? If you haven't contributed the maximum amounts allocated to you in previous years, you can make up for these missed opportunities in the years to come. It is commonly known as a "carry-forward". The maximum carry-forward is determined by formula. The actual amount is listed on your annual Notice of Assessment, or, call Revenue Canada's TIPs system, a series of 1-800 numbers for each District Taxation Office. The service is available each year from September to May. Should I borrow for my RRSP? It makes sense to contribute the maximum - and borrowing can be a solution. But it will also depend on your financial situation, the cost of borrowing, your ability to repay and other factors. You cap use the tax refund you'll receive in the Spring to reduce the loan. Any interest paid on the loan .is not tax deductible. What happens if I put too much money in? The Income Tax Act does permit Canadians to over-contribute $2,000, over their lifetimes, without penalty. A tax of 1% a month is imposed on any additional over-contribution. If you over- contributed when, the limit was $8,000, you must first reduce this to $2,000 before adding to your RRSP. Seminar serieS Julie Edwards B.A. Mgmt. Econ.

The two teams will meet in the first round of the AA provincial playoffs. The fust game will be played in New West on Feb.2, and the second in Aldergrove on Feb. 8. The team matched single markers in the first period. Jacob Boake picked up Carl Ammann's rebound and passed the puck across to Matt Keith, who buried the puck in the New West goal for the Bruin's score. The Bruins took a slim 2-1 lead in the sandwich session. Matt Roberts picked up a loose puck in the Aldergrove zone and passed the puck to Josh MacKnee. MacKnee relayed a strike to a breaking Mark Cassibo, and the fleet winger was not to be caught. The Bruins stretched the lead to 3-1 in the third period c_n another three way passing play. Josh MacKnee started another break-out of the Bruins zone, hitting Matt Keith with a pass. Keith led a 2 on 1 break into New West territory, where he set up Marc Windle for a one timer. New West then scored twice to tie the score. With just over 3 minutes left in the game Simon Whitlock jumped on a Carl Ammann rebound and passed the puck to Mike Roberts in the slot. Roberts then scored what proved to be the winner. New West pulled their goalie in favor of an extra attacker, but the strategy backfired as Marc Windle passed the puck up to David Mamchur. Mamchur moved the puck deep into the enemy zone and made no mistake with die open net Ice Chips: The score flattered New West, as the Bruins outshot the visitors by a 2-1 margin...The defence played well as a whole as they kept the play to the outside...They were led by Drew Hill who was standing the attackers up...Aaron Slagman in the Bruins goal wasn't that busy but came up with some big stops, particularly in the 1st, and 2nd periods...

TO COMBAT CRIME Business people band together LANGLEY - The RCMP has developed and implemented a voluntary Business Watch program for the business community. It is a free crime prevention and personal safety program for businesses and employees, focusing on prevention strategies through information sessions, which will result in the decrease of criminal activity and increase of safer work environments. The objective of Business watch is to shift from a reactive to a proactive role by: maintaining regular contact and information exchange between merchants and the police through personal visits from trained volunteers; maintaining an updated Business Watch data base at the detachment office; collecting 'dark figures of crime' including unreported thefts, assaults and vandalism; providing relevant crime prevention information; and enabling merchants to directly express themselves on policing issues. This proactive approach intends to remove the criminal opportunity by creating better communications and true partnerships between the business community and the police, and create personal safety and prevention awareness by adopting the Worker's Compensation Board Take Care Guide. The Business watch program stresses that crime prevention is everyone's business, and that community policing requires citizen cooperation and commitment to assist police in identifying problems, proposing solutions, and implementing responses within the allocated resources. This process can only be completed and declared a win-win situation if citizens become an active and integral part of it. The police cannot be expected to accomplish crime prevention on their own. In addition to Business Watch, the community has to strengthen and expand existing community based crime prevention programs such as Block Parents, Block Watch, Citizens Crime Watch Patrol, and Victim Services. Citizens should accept the challenge of prevention and detection of crime in order to. enhance the level of security and livability in Langley.

These are not goofy little news items dealing with such inconsequential matters as Bosnia or the federal budget. Rather, they are the kind of important, socially significant and absolutely true stories that are the lifeblood of this column. In what was literally the top story of 1995, a research firm, hired by the Michael Stivers Breast Enlargement Course, reported that women can increase their bust size through hypnosis. According to Bordner Research Inc. of Clearwater, Fla., 79.8 per cent of the 867 women, who underwent this revolutionary hypnotic process, gained between one and four inches. There was just one problem: Not all of the women retained those gains. So Stivers began selling self-hypnosis tapes. What, no videos? In a related development, an Australian doctor discovered that many women suffer from a malady known as Wonderbra Syndrome. According to Allure magazine, the doctor reported many cases of headaches and shoulder pain that he speculated were caused by tight straps and 'lateral compression forces." No word on whether the sufferers appeared to be in a trance. Not to be outdone, a Stamford, Conn., internist discovered that nine out of 10 adult males in the United States suffer from Tight Pants Syndrome. Dr. Octavio Bessa Jr. said he compared men's abdominal girths with the size of their trousers and found that there is usually a discrepancy of three inches or more. His prescription: 'Buy larger pants." Animals also made headlines last hear. In Cape Canaveral, Fla., the U.S. space program suffered a severe setback when the space shuttle Discovery was temporarily grounded by woodpeckers. Boldly going where no birds had gone before, two of the pesky critters drilled 195 holes in the shuttle's external fuel tank, causing U.S. $1 million in damage and delaying the flight for nearly two months. "Houston, we've got a problem. Ha-ha-ha-HA-ha! Ha-ha-ha- &$-_#I?>fH_i a** HA-ha! Ha-a-a-a-a!" In other animal news, three elementary-school janitors in Ceres, Calif., were blown out of a utility room while trying to freeze a gopher to death. The explosion occurred when one of the janitors attempted to tight a cigarette after spraying the rodent with a freezing solvent commonly used as a gum remover. The tliree janitors (Moe, Larry and Curly?) were briefly hospitalized. The gopher survived. Other important - and absolutely true - stories from 1995: -After more than three years of marriage, Bruce Jensen of Bountiful, Utah, discovered that his wife was really a man. Said Jensen: 'I feel pretty stupid." -In Denver, a man, accused of pouring varnish on his wife during sex instead of the honey and chocolate syrup she was expecting, pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace. -A determined ambulance crew in Oslo, Norway, showed up at the wrong address, slapped a healthy man onto a stretcher and, despite his objections, rushed him to the hospital. The guy, who called for the ambulance had to drive nearly 40 miles to the same hospital, where he struggled to register with a clerk who insisted that he was already a patient there. -An Arizona sheriff known for his get-tough attitude ordered inmates to wear pink underwear. 'These macho men may not like pink, but that's their problem," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. -In Torrance, Calif., a man was sentenced under the state's "three strikes" law to 25 years to life in prison for stealing a slice of pepperoni pizza. -It took 130 years, but the Mississippi Senate finally voted to abolish slavery. We end on an uplifting note with the heartwarming story of a charity fund-raiser for a family shelter in Winthrop, Mass., that had to be cancelled, after a hockey game between state police troopers and Northwest Airlines employees was marred by two bench-clearing brawls. Said a Northwest spokesman: 'Enthusiasm for helping the shelter apparently runs pretty high on both sides." Brothers,|| Big Sifters A not-for-profit organization that needs your help! Wc need vtMniteers over the n$e of IS who wnnt to spend n few hours n week ns ti big brofticr or sister * in our speeitil progrtim. ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, Fishing is a real passion with me. I try to organize my life so I get the best chances to go fishing. For instance, I turned down a managerial position for a lower- paying job as a travelling salesman so I could find time for fishing during the work week. My problem concerns my two girlfriends. One (I'll call her Susie) is very pretty and glamorous, and we always have exciting times when we go out on dates, but she only wants to see shows and go out dancing and dining. She thinks fishing is boring, and she can't stand things like mosquitoes and worms. The other (Sally) is on the plain side, but she likes fishing almost as much as I do. She puts a wonn on a hook with great style and doesn't let mosquitoes or blackflies bother her at all. When we go out, however, the excite ment centres on the fish and not on our relationship, if you get my meaning. I'm just past 30 and my parents want me to marry and settle down, but I can't make the big decision. Signed: IZAAK of Aldergrove. Dear Izaak, It can't be easy, trying to decide between glamor and dancing on the one hand, and plainness and worms on the other. If Sally has at least some real attraction for you, though, it would seem she would be a better lifetime choice because of your great passion for fishing. How about bringing in some new elements to help you decide? Which, for example has the better sense of humor? Who-fits best with your plans to have (or not to have) children? You can't fish all the time - or go dining and dancing all the time, for that matter. Dear Annabelle, Why is it that we always want what we don't have, or shouldn't have? My crazy Uncle Brian, for example, says he would give his right arm to be ambidextrous, and I know I'd give all my money to be rich. Last summer I went hiking up a mountain on a very hot day witii my friend Vinnie, and during the last hour before we got to the top, Vinnie's tongue was hanging out and he kept swearing that he would give all his worldly possessions for a cold beer. Then we found some campers at the top, and one of them said he would sell Vinnie a cold beer for $5 and Vinnie called him a robber and stomped off in a rage. What's with that?

Heavy snow postpones box cars LANGLEY - Students and teachers were disappointed when last week's snow postponed the event Box Cars and One-eyed Jacks. The workshop, part of the Adventures in math and science project, is designed to teach math games that can be played using cards and dice. It has been re-scheduled for Wednesday, February 7 at Aldergrove Elementary, 27032 Fraser Highway. There is still space available at a cost of $3 per person, and registration is required. Call Jean Schaffer at the school board office, 534-7891. Bouchard defends 'hard-earned' windfall OTTAWA - Lucien Bouchard angrily defended his $32,000-a- year pension courtesy of Canadian taxpayers as he headed off on his mission to break up the coun- "It's mine, I earned it, I will keep it," a testy Bouchard told reporters in Montreal. "I have never earned money so roughly as I did in Ottawa, and I will keep it no matter what the cost." Bouchard starts collecting his juicy pension immediately because - until changes to the pension act last year - all MPs were guaranteed pensions equalling 75 percent of their Commons salaries after only six years' service. The pensions were calculated on the best-paid years of the MP. MPs, who were elected before the changes, get their pensions under the old system. Rookie MPs must wait until age 55 to begin collecting and will contribute more. English-language reporters persistently questioned Bouchard about his pension when they had their turn at him, following questions in French at a news conference. For all provincial political and government news conferences in Quebec, English-language questions are allowed only after questions in French. Bouchard grew indignant after a few minutes on the topic. "I will keep it, I will keep it even in private life, is that clear?" he said at one point. The former Block Quebecois chief, who will take over the Parti Quebecois and become premier later this month, impatiently brushed off a recent warning diat Quebec separation would cost Quebecers and Canadians at least $200 billion in lost economic growth and high interest rates. The warning was delivered by Bank of Montreal chairman Math- ew Barrett, who said Canadians arc already paying a price for political uncertainty. Bouchard blamed the uncertainty on the fact federalists won the referendum on sovereignty last October. 'The No have created the continuum of political uncertainty," Bouchard said. "A Yes would have stopped it" NOTICE A permit for construction of an on-site sewage disposal system has been granted to TKG Development Engineering Ltd. on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. A site plan showing the system location at 27863 - 0 Avenue in Abbotsford is attached.
