SUITOR SI IdHTFD Dear John, The marriage is off By Rudy Langmann MURRAYVILLE - Township councilors have been rebuffed by their city colleagues in their most recent drive for amalgamation of the two Langleys. This week they received a letter from Langley city Mayor Marlene Grinnell, stating in full: "In response to your letter of July 7, 1995 offering to coordinate a joint council meeting between the Corporation of the Township of Langley and the City of Langley to discuss amalgamation, city council respectfully declines your offer on behalf of its citizens. "As you are no doubt aware, the issue of amalgamation has East meets West as the Shaolin Temple Monks, masters of the martial arts, make their first appearance outside of China to perform unbelievable feats of strength and power at the PNE on Wednesday, August 23 and Friday, August 25.

Although the number of incidents has remained stable compared to the same time frame last year, the dollar loss value has decreased significandy, especially for the month of May. In 1994, second quarter dollar losses were reported at almost $4 million, whereas this year total is below $1 million. For year to date figures, the' number of incidents is up from just over 800 last year to just over 1,000 this year, but dollar losses are down by over $1 million. There were 529 incidents during the second quarter including one train incident, 2 standbys for bomb removal,17 gas leaks and 29 rescues. Councilors will petition Ottawa MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here will petition the federal government in Ottawa to once more intervene with authorities in Sao Paulo, Brazil for the release from jail of Christine Lamont and her boyfriend, David Spencer. The two Canadians were sentenced in 1989 to 28 years in jail for their involvement in the kidnapping of a Brazilian millionaire businessman. Recently, the Brazilian high court ruled that the sentences had been "excessive", and Keith and Marilyn Lamont of Eangley have urged local governments here and in Ottawa to intercede on their daughter's behalf, asking Brazilian authorities to show clemency.

While we have a good working relationship with the township, Langley city council continues to oppose the concept of amalgamation. As there is little or no advantage to the city residents, logically any advantage benefits only the township. "The city of Langley has worked extremely hard since its incorporation over forty years ago to create a compact, complete community. We have fostered a civic identity, shared by local government and citizens alike, which is distinct and separate from that of the township. Our streamlined municipal government structure, competitive tax rates, community development philosophy and efficient delivery of municipal services are in no small part attributable to our relatively small size of four square miles. In short, the city is able to provide personal and professional services to its citizens, who have an expectation that their tax dollars will be spent to address issues within tlie city. "We extend our sincercst gratitude to you for offering the services of the Langley chamber of commerce. However, Langley city council has absolutely no interest in pursuing the subject of municipal amalgamation." The provincial ministry of municipal affairs, which has received a copy of Uie 'Dear John' letter, has already stated that it won't force amalgamation on any municipality that does not want il. The Aldergrove STAR^T Illegitimus non ccabonmdum VOL.37 NO.33 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1995 40 CENTS Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 Public arts centre to cost 2-million or maybe 36-million ? MURRAYVILLE - They do not have the faintest idea how much it is going to cost. But most of the local politicians here are nevertheless determined to forge ahead with the building of an arts centre in Langley. Let the taxpayers decide, says Coun. Muriel Arnason, opting for a referendum. Other elected officials, such as Coun. Steve Burton, subscribe to the more autocratic principle of letting the "majority"' decide, meaning the majority of councilors. Construction of the complex could, according to councilors, cost anywhere between "two or three" million dollars and a high of "34- to 36-million." The latter figure is Arnason's estimate and "completely preposterous" if you are to believe fellow council member Heather McMullan. She, in mm, pegs the cost at an equally unrealistic low. "Let the people (of Langley) vote on it," says Arnason, "and if they say .'yes', then let us go ahead." She warns, however, that it is perhaps a bit too rich for Langley's 75,000 residents, and that the $34-36-njillion tab would only be the capital investment cost and that beyond that there is Uie case of an annual operational deficit which also would have to be borne by the local taxpayers. McMullan says Arnason is attempting to "short change a lot of hard-working volunteers" on a council-appointed task force presently promoting the building of a performing arts centre in Langley township. In recent weeks individual members of this committee have been bombarding local newspapers with a barrage of letters extolling the importance of the project. "It is in our master plan," says McMullan. "We arc obligated to build it." It would start with a music school and proceed from there in stages oyer the next "20 or 30 years", she adds. Burton agrees. "I cannot understand," he says, looking sternly al Arnason, "why you would undermine the decision made by lhe majority (of councilors); why you would be prejudging Uie project." Arnason votes against proceeding without voter approval. One oilier council member does neither vote in favor or against. But Arnason adds, as a parting shot, that she knows that only "three percent of Uie population" is seeing eye-to-cye with her council mates. The bimonthly council meeting draws to a close.

SAFIWAY • BY STATSCAN B.C. murder rate Deggedasthe lighest in country OTTAWA - Canada's murder rate dropped to a 25-year low last year, but British Columbians had little reason to celebrate. For the third consecutive year, B.C. recorded the highest provincial homicide rate at about three of every 100,000 people, com- . pared with the national rate of about two. A total of 596 people were murdered in Canada in 1994, 113 of them in B.C., the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics reported. Police were quick to point out that even though Canada's murder rate declined last year and is only one-quarter of the rate in the U.S., it's still higher than most European countries. England's homicide rate is about 30 percent lower than Canada's. Vancouver, with 48 murders in 1994, had the highest homicide Three charged with murder one SURREY - Three B.C. men have been arrested, and charged with first degree murder and kidnapping, following an intensive homicide investigation conducted by the RCMP. On October 20, 1993 Anthony Bernard Kohlinan, a 30 year-old Langley man, was reported missing by his mother. Investigation revealed that he had been kidnapped, beaten and murdered, and his body being dumped in the Fraser Valley. Charged are Roland Robert Wagner, 32, of Terrace; Rory Nelson Wagner, 36, of Chilliwack; and Gerald Peter Beau- grand, 36, of Surrey. Anyone with pertinent information regarding this case is asked to call Constable Wayne Ridcout of the Surrey RCMP Serious Crime Section at 599- 7625. rate of any city in Canada - almost three of every 100,000 people. But the city war third behind Toronto and Montreal in the actual numbers of killings. Toronto recorded 85 last year followed by Montreal with 75. The federal agency said the drop in the overall number of homicides in 1994 was mainly the result of a decline of 30 murders in the Montreal area. That gave Quebec the lowest homicide rate in 26 years. Shootings accounted for one- third of all the murders in the country, while 25 percent were attributed to stabbing. And almost nine of 10 victims knew their killers. While spousal homicides accounted for about one in six of the solved murders, the actual number dropped to 85 from 87 in 1993 and 105 in 1992. The centre also reported that one in 10 homicides were drug- related. Those at greatest risk of being murdered, however, were infants in the first year of their life. Of the 27 victims under one year of age, 11 were killed by their father and nine by their mother. The number of youths accused of murder jumped dramatically last year to 57 from 35 in 1993. Youdis between the age of 12 and 17 accounted for an average of eight percent of all murder suspects over the last 10 years. As the Centre for Justice Statistics released its figures on homicide, its parent, Statistics Canada, announced that the crime rate in Canada dropped five percent last year, the third straight annual decrease. Violent crime declined three percent last year, the largest drop since data collection began in 1962. Only crimes involving drugs, offensive weapons, arson and motor vehicle theft increased last year. Payroll taxes cause of unemployment TORONTO - Canada's federal and provincial governments may have killed as many as 130,000 jobs by raising payroll taxes in the early 1990s, the Bank of Canada says. Governments effectively raised the cost of labor at a time when the price of computers and computer-based technology was plummeting, a Bank of Canada study says. As a result, employers replaced higher-cost workers with cheaper equipment. Payroll taxes rose substantially between 1990 and 1993, sharply increasing the cost employers had to pay for benefits such as unemployment insurance, health insurance, workers' compensation and Canada Pension. The relationship between wages and productivity broke down in 1990 when wages moved "to a level considerably in excess" of productivity, according to the study. The gap widened to nearly five percent in 1993 from about zero in 1989. Bus service ready to start MURRAYVILLE - A privately-owned Vancouver company is presently seeking permission from the federal government to operate a bus shuttle service in the Fraser Valley. Commuters in the Lower Mainland "are not happy" with the present transit system, company spokesman Martin Bielz told Langley township councilors here Monday night. Bielz said he is awaiting approval from the motor vehicle licensing authorities and expects it to be forthcoming soon. His company would then start operating a bus service between Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley and Vancouver, with four buses running back and forth every day and an express bus looking after the early morning commuters. A oneway fare would be about $4.50, he said. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 16,1995 Albert Wayenberg shoe-horned a five litre mustang engine into this '72 Triumph TR-6. He says the car is dependable, and he drives it daily. Wayenberg wants to build a big-block spitfire for his next project. The TR-6 was one of several cars, which participated in a weekend show at Parkside.

AUGUST 16,199S1 Lloyd Axworthy 'only tinkering'? OTTAWA - Human Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy is only "tinkering" with changes to Canada's social programs, the Reform Party's human resources critic has charged. Reform MP Jan Brown said the minister was taking too much time with his tentative stabs at cutting expensive programs. "Axworthy has failed to deliver on his promises of social reform and has been floating trial balloons," Brown told reporters here. Axworthy has said the government will no longer guarantee student loans, a move the minister said will save up to $ 1-billion over the next five years. Instead, the government will pay banks $50-million a year to assume the risk of lending the money to the students. Next, Axworthy announced plans to shut down a third of Uie 450 Canada Employment Centres in the country and replace them with automated kiosks. That measure is expected to save taxpayers $200-million a year. But Brown said Axworthy had promised "massive, sweeping changes" to social programs and that his lack of action over the past 22 months shows that he has failed to keep the promise. The Calgary Southeast MP said Canada s total debt, at more than $560-billion, "is putting an irrevocable strain on funding of social programs as we have known them for decades." She said that while Axworthy may have had the best intentions at the beginning, he "certainly hasn't had the clout around the table for his liberalistic social thinking." She called Axworthy's two announced reforms "little crumbs", hardly the promised overhaul to social programs. What he got, she got By LES LEYNE When Connie Munro was hired in 1991 as chief appeal commissioner of the British Columbia Workers' Compensation Board, her contract entitled her to any benefits that WCB president and CEO Ken Dye got - and he got a lot. Dye, who had been federal auditor general, moved from Ottawa to West Vancouver to take his WCB job. When he had trouble selling his Ottawa house, he negotiated a special deal that covered his $5,200 monthly mortgage payments for a West Vancouver home, twice-monthly flights back to Ottawa to see his wife, and related expenses. Because Munro's contract piggybacked on Dye's, every time he flew to Ottawa, she was entitled to the ticket price in cash. Dye's total relocation package amounted to $88,830, and that's the amount Munro was given as well. Munro, who earns $158,000 a year plus other benefits, also got the WCB to pay the $12,000 bill for the lawyer she hired to negotiate her contract. Two hears after he was hired, Dye was fired on the grounds that he was unsuitable for the job. He was given a $240,000 severance package. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Steadfastly pushing Editor, Tlie Star, Sir, Let me add my voice and my support to those lovers of the arts in Langley who have so steadfastly pushed for and continue to push for a centre for the arts. Having lived in rural Langley for 25 years, having fostered tlie arts in myself and my children by way of Vancouver's training opportunities in drama, dance, music, art, and writing all these years, having turned to Vancouver for symphony, opera, stage productions and literary functions, I can say I have felt acutely the poverty of Langley. It has been for me a cultural desert. The personal cost of travelling to Vancouver for lessons and cultural events has been very high, but we could not ignore the obvious potential and love for quality artistic expression. I may have spent my middle years meeting the artistic educational needs of my family by going to and from Vancouver. And that part of my responsibility is now past As I get older, however, it is more difficult to take myself in at night for cultural events, and I will depend more and more on accessing quality talent closer to home. Who will come to a town where there's no place to perform? JyO.atu ^sha^u^dst^^CsJlftJ.tl^t, -ff ***** fflft &JW#JrX&F.f#i&<.ifi my town, and still the political dragging of the heels in a town whose population and social complexion has grown and changed dramatically over these many years. In general, I stand behind the comments in tlie papers in recent weeks by Audrey Wright, John Campbell, S.C. MacKenzie, S.S. Anderson and Marilyn Tecklcn- borg, all urging the powers that be to get moving on this most important project, to remain clear about the primary objective. Certainly we must learn something about grandiose fantasies and deficit spending. I urge the council to keep their sights on the primary objective, which is to create a center for Uie arts, beginning with Uie music school and Uie theatre, something we can be proud of in Uie cultural stream of mis very talented country. A complex which tries to fit all functions will end up being poorly fitted to Uie very one it was primarily intended. I strongly encourage immediate action toward the realization of an arts complex. It has been approved in principle. But the music school cannot operate on principle, nor can a performance be held in principle. Let's quit stalling. jgXlYNETSE WALKER. \ ANY QUESTIONS? Bumps in the head? Editor, The Star, Sir, The recently announced bicycle safety initiatives provide a stark example of the incompetence of the NDP government in dealing wiUi important safety concerns. Their proposal combines poorly thought out penalties with a misguided "education" campaign while continuing to ignore Uie fact Uiat Uie real cause of bike accidents is bad road design that fails to provide any margin of safety for cyclists. The public may have heard about new penalties for not wearing a helmet, but less known are other penalties they came up with, Uiat are completely foolish in real life application. For instance, legislation was passed Uiat requires cyclists to take their hand off the handlebars and point down when coming lo a stop. As a longtime cyclist I know, that if you put on the brakes of your bike with only one hand on the bars, you can quickly lose control of your bike, especially if you are going downhill. A cyclist should never take Need is evident Editor, The Star, Sir, The following is addressed to Langley Mayor John Scholtens and his council: Years ago, agreements were reached between the two Langleys for a theatre arts complex to be built in the Murrayville area. How many meetings do you require before finally starting such a complex? Studies in other districts will show you that a school theatre is not suitable or adequate for general use. The need for a theatre arts complex is evident when tickets for a concert brought to Langley and produced in makeshift surroundings are sold out weeks before the evenL Plans for a theatre arts complex have been talked about for the past 30 years. I hope I'm still alive to attend at least one conceit in Langley's theatre. CONME'WWER, AldergroyevvV' *^?P.vn ^^1.' their hand off the handle bars when stopping their bike. This manoeuvre is extremely dangerous, yet Uie NDP in their stunning incompetence are going to require you to do so by law with tough new penalties to back it up. The fact that such a dangerously foolish manoeuvre could be legislated into law shows how truly ill-considered NDP legislation really is. As president of SPEC, a group actively involved in bicycle issues, I sent letters to the minister in charge to ask to meet about various bicycle safety concerns we had. I had pointed out some inexpensive road design improvements that would greatly improve cycling safety by making roads safer without impeding traffic. The minister refused to meet us and brushed us off with political platitudes Uiat Uiey know better. I then tried to raise these issues with our local NDP MLA and he sent back an arrogant letter saying he had every confidence the minister was doing the right thing. In the end nothing was done except for their package of money-raising penalties designed to punish cyclists. In a government press release it proclaimed that head injuries are the primary cause of cyclist fatalities, so they are improving traffic safety by making people wear helmets. In actual fact it is not the head injuries per se that are causing deaths, it is the accidents leading to head injuries that cause death, and it is unsafe road conditions for cyclists that causes accidents. What cyclists really need is a suit of armour, not just a helmet, to protect them from these dangerous conditions until the government gets its act together and designs roads that provide space for bicycles. The solution really comes down to just painting Uie road lines in a different way. As for the multi-million dollar education campaign they announced for cyclists, what are they going to teach us? You guessed it, to take your hand off the handle bars when coining to a stop. % .PA^HlWAJv.<||5 Why not follow lead of Kiwies and f Germans? By JACOB de RAADT LANGLEY - The termination of the suspension of Uie Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act means that British Columbia now has 34 federal ridings under our antiquated First-Past-The Post electoral system. We must get used to new riding names like Langley-Matsqui, South Surrey- White Rock-Langley, Fraser Valley, Surrey Central and even Okanagan-Coquihalla. What CFER had anticipated, is a sad reflection of the fear of the major political parties: They are too afraid of the obvious consequences of proportional representation on their power structure. Speaking to the federal Electoral Boundaries Commission in June last year, CFER suggested a better alternative for conducting elections: the Mixed Member Proportional system, used in Germany and to be introduced next year in New Zealand. This could have been done by allocating the 34 MP's to which British Columbia is entitled, to oidy 17 federal electoral districts, as well as 17 members at large, to be elected by all British Columbians from lists prepared by all federal political parties. Every voter would then have two votes: one for a riding candidate and one for a party of his or her choice. This would give local representation to everybody, but would also provide for MP's Uiat would represent "segments of opinion" as Uiis is Uie case in all other countries Uiat use a variety of systems of proportional representation. By sticking to the proven unworkable and plainly undemocratic First-Past-The-Post system that allows for "winner take all" and "landslide" elections which have become so common and divisive in our society, Uie government showed a lack of interest in true democracy, and gave a slap in Uie face to many who seriously want Canada to stay "the best country in the world", also politically. The outcome of BC's next provincial election may be crucial for Canadians and British Columbians to understand Uiat we are in dire need of electoral reform. This election could also be run on MMP principles, as pointed out by CFER last year, and is even more important due to "splitting the vote" - something that is not possible with Uie MMP system. To be governed by a provincial government that was voted in by only 40 percent of the people, and by a federal government that was voted in by only 43 percent of Uie people, is not fair. The people of New Zealand saw that years ago and have since changed their system. Canadians deserve Uie same. The Campaign for Electoral Reform promotes MMP as a viable and fair electoral system for Canada's Parliament and Uie provincial legislatures.

Blair Pool August 14 - 25, with the support of tlie community. So often, opportunities such as swimming lessons are not affordable to some members of the community. However, this summer will be different for some residents of the housing complex. Fifteen children will receive swimming lessons and their families will have an opportunity to play, frolic or exercise at the pool this summer. All of this is possible because of Langley's true community spirit! The community has helped this Active Living project, come together by offering their services. Volunteers have offered to drive the van which was donated for the occasion by the Kinsmen Society, and Green Acres Realty has donated their bus and a driver for two days. Furthermore, residents of the Aldergrove Kinsmen Park Place have donated their time in orchestrating the transportation and swim times. Even those who were unable to help out during this event have offered their services for future events. This is a community you can be proud to be a part of. Good old boy retiring Hank is a genuine caring man who for the past 15 years has taken the therapists at Pacific Riding for the Disabled under his care. Hank has taken his crew of farrier students to PRDA, as a ritual every six weeks, since the early 1980's. The costs for farrier service for 16 horses would be immense on a yearly basis. Hank's diligence over the years has been a tremendous asset to the organization. The association survives on donations from corpbrates, service clubs, private individuals and fundraising events, its existence is sometimes nip and tuck. Hank has taught the farrier course at Kwantlen College since time began and is now retiring. FIRST AID TIPS!

The lottery is traditionally one of the most popular PNE events, and this years' prizes are generating even more excitement.

Province will introduce crime check for priests VICTORIA - The provincial government is considering expanding its criminal record check on people entrusted with the care of children to include priests and volunteers, Attorney General Colin Gabelmann says. The program of checks, to be instituted this legislative session, will cover 280,000 public service employees including teachers, child care workers and nurses and look for crimes suggesting a threat of child abuse. Gabelmann said the New Democrats would expand the program further in two years to cover volunteers such as Boy Scout leaders and sports coaches and would even consider including priests and ministers. Bureaucrat commutes from New Zealand I VICTORIA - B.C. Liberal Health Critic Linda Reid is outraged that the NDP paid a B.C. bureaucrat on unpaid leave in New Zealand over $26,000 to commute to Vancouver for 19 days of work to draft a report on integrating services for Vancouver area hospitals. "This is simply an absurd waste of money. Not only was it Waste program suspended SURREY - The City of Surrey's curbside recycling program has been suspended because of a labour dispute involving the contractor, Laidlaw Waste Systems Ltd., and the International Union of Operating Engineers. The union represents the truck drivers and some other employees of the company. Residents have been asked not to put their blue boxes out until further notice. unnecessary for the NDP to spend the money on this bureaucrat, the policies implemented for Vancouver hospitals have been an absolute failure," said Reid. Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information request revealed that Chris Lovelace, an employee in the health ministry, took an unpaid leave of absence to live and work in New Zealand to study the changes implemented by the New Zealand government in their health care system. In 1994, the NDP decided to pay to fly Lovelace back and forth to British Columbia from New Zealand to write the "Vancouver Region: Acute Care and Rehabilitation Services Study." "I simply can not believe that there were not people within the Ministry of Health here in British Columbia that could not have done the same job, if not better," said Reid.

B.C.'s seasonally adjusted annual rate was 21,300 units, down by one third from a year ago and little changed from recent months. Construction is being held back by high unsold inventory levels. Nationally, housing starts fell to a 13-year low at 95,700 units. All regions of the country were down from June except for the Prairies. The largest drop, about 30 percent from June was in Ontario. Reformers pick new executive CLEARBROOK - At a special membership meeting held here on Thursday, August 10, a new executive was elected for the Matsqui constituency of the BC Reform Party. Members also heard from the new vice president of the party. Brian Archer, of Vancouver, spoke to local members of recent changes in the party structure, plans for the upcoming provincial election and advised members of strategy to assure "that Matsqui, one of our most winable seats, will soon have a Reform MLA who will really speak for you and work for you!" The new directors of the constituency are Walter Grymaloski, Peter O'Sullivan, John Friesen, Harry DeJong, Sheryl Quast, Harvey Mohr, Mcnno Froese, and Beryl O'Sullivan. Also introduced at the meeting were Bill Kilpatrick, BC Reform's candidate in the recent Abbotsford by-election and Ryan Warawa, president of the Abbotsford constituency association. The new directors will be "putting all their efforts into planning for the next provincial election" which could come any time, but is "not expected until spring of next year", according to Ray Feenstra of Abbotsford, speaking as a member of the provincial party board.

As a result, employers replaced higher-cost workers with cheaper equipment. Payroll taxes rose substantially between 1990 and 1993, sharply increasing the cost employers had to pay for benefits such asnunem- ployment insurance, health insurance, workers' compensation and Canada Pension. The relationship between wages and productivity broke down in 1990 when wages moved "to a level considerably in excess" of productivity, according to the study. The gap widened to nearly five percent in 1993 from about zero in 1989. Two planes burst through a two-hundred-foot tall wall of flame Friday, at the Abbotsford Airshow. -Tlm Attwood photo. Conservation closes fisheries VANCOUVER - Brian Tobin, federal minister of Fisheries and Oceans, has suspended all fisheries for Fraser sockeye salmon until further notice. Current estimates of sockeye abundance provided by the Pacific Salmon Commission indicate that returns, at 3.3 million, are considerably lower than pre-sea- son expectations of 10.7 million. As a result, no harvest of Fraser sockeye will be authorized in the aboriginal, commercial, or recreational fisheries, with the exception of some aboriginal food harvests in the upper Fraser River. U.S. authorities have also agreed to close their fisheries that take Fraser sockeye. The lower than expected returns are thought to be a result of adverse oceanic conditions as well as heavy predation of juvenile salmon by mackerel that migrated into Canadian waters during an El Nino event in 1993. High tech surfing lessons VANCOUVER - One of the largest Internet displays ever assembled in Western Canada will be a featured attraction at the 1995 PNE. Visitors can see the latest in computer systems, Internet products and services, as well as experience interactive exhibits. Daily seminars teaching every-' thing from the basics of how to use the Net to sessions on advanced applications will offer something for everyone at all levels of computer knowledge. The PNE has dedicated an entire wing, 4,500 square feet, of the Home Idea-Centre in the B.C. Pavilion to information, displays and products related to the Net. Exhibits by leaders in computer technology will showcase current software and home and business products. If you're interested in jumping on-board the information highway, or if you're just wondering what the excitement is all about, don't miss this opportunity. The annual PNE Fair is on daily from August 19 to September 4 from 10:30 am to 10:30 pm. U.S. can stop it, says Zirnhelt VICTORIA - British Columbia wants the United States federal government to use its legal power to close the Alaskan chinook harvest, B.C. Fisheries Minister David Zirnhelt says. "The time has come for the federal governments of Canada and the United States to resolve this impasse in the name of international resource conservation and fairness," Zirnhelt has written in a letter to federal Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin. Alaska's actions are a violation of tlie Pacific Salmon Treaty, says Zirnhelt. BC 21 Community Projects make community visions realities.

The Honourable Glen Clark Minister of Employment and Investment The Honourable Bill Barlee Minister of Small Business, Tourism and Culture Building B.C. for the 21st Century France and China criticized MURRAYVILLE - Decision by the newly-elected president of France to resume atomic testing in the South Pacific has caused an outburst of derision and anger throughout the world. Nations, communities and individuals have condemned the explosions in a post-cold war world. In Langley, Coun. Muriel Arnason has added her voice to the protest. This week, she made notice of motion in council chambers that an official protest "be sent immediately" to Canadian prime minister Jean Chretien "stating (Langley) council's out rage and disapproval of the resumption of nuclear testing by France." Arnason's proposed letter also called for "sanctions against any who would commit this crime against all mankind, and that the proposed renewals of nuclear testing be denounced in the strongest possible terms to the president of France and the United Nations." Local governments in Canada and throughout the world should also take both France and China to task for their continued atom bomb testing, she said.

They liked it, and bought the company VANCOUVER - Dynamic duo Bruce Guerin and Blaine Woit recently purchased the rights to the Vancouver Fishing & Outdoor Show and the Fraser Valley Boat & Sportsmen's Show. "We liked the shows so much that we bought the company!" quips new co- owner Guerin, waving an electric razor in the air. Guerin and Woit were under a management contract for both the PNE and Tradex events with Industrial Trade & Consumer Shows, a subsidiary owned by corporate giant MacLean Hunter. Since inception, both shows have continually brought in record numbers. "The tremendous success of both of these events was a well-known fact," states Woit. "When MacLean Hunter put them on the market, we jumped at the chance to buy them both." Both are tight-lipped about the purchase price. "Let's just say we all came out wilh a smile on our face," said Guerin. Show dates have been announced for the Vancouver Fishing & Outdoor Show. It will be held at the PNE's Coliseum from January 12-14, Woit adds, "We've concentrated the show nicely. It is now three days of what's hot in tlie fishing world, as well as what's tried and true." Tried and true includes rods, reels, accessories and fishing boats. Woit believes that the focus of the.show, has been part of their success story, as it is aimed at an exclusive fishing-only audience. The time is ripe for the new owners to test the waters for this third annual event. Guerin concludes, "I believe we've caught ourselves a'couple of big ones!" The Vancouver Fishing & Outdoor Show is truly the lower mainland's REEL Sportsmen's Show. Fat cat contract to chair VICTORIA - The former, chair of the Workers' Compensation Board has negotiated a contract with the Ministry of Skills Training and Labour that has paid him $30,000 a month, charged BC Liberal MLA Gary Farrell-Collins this week. Documents obtained by the BC Liberals under the Freedom of Information Act show that Jim Dorsey, hired as a health sector labour relations commissioner, has billed taxpayers total of $89,000 for what amounts to three months' work. > "Clearly, Dorsey negotiated the same kind of contract for him- self that he signed for Connie Munro at the WCB," said Farrell- Collins., 'This is a contract paying a lawyer $185 per hour to bring forward recommendations that are in the best interest of a unionized sector that already has the most lucrative employment contract we have ever seen." The contract's terms of reference state that Dorsey was hired to work with unions in the health sector to "achieve and bring forward recommendations that are in the longer term best interest of the health sector and employees working within this sector in the context of transition to boards and councils under the Health Authorities Act." The initial contract expired on May 31, 1995, Try to avoid investment scams By VALERIE MACLEAN Honest people sometimes find it difficult to believe that con artists will stoop to any tactic in order to carry off a swindle. While some things may be taken on faith, investments are not among them. Members of religious communities can protect themselves from investment swindles by taking the following common sense precautions: • Be wary of investments that seem closely tied to a particular religious belief. It's extremely unlikely that a golden invesUncnt opportunity would be available only to members of a specific church or faith. • Be cautious if the promoter of an investment opportunity tries to capitalize on connections or a leadership position within a religious group. Chances are slim that the success or failure of the investment can be linked in any way to the "inside" contacts of the promoter. Always check out any claim of influence within the church that is made by a promoter. • Be on your guard for a new member of your church who springs up out of nowhere with a "sure-fire" investment scheme. Some con artists will waste little or no time in casing their way into a religious circle. Find out who you are dealing with and what their background, if any, is within the church. • As you would with any investment offer, be sure to look closely at investments promoted to you by fellow members of the church. Exercise Uie same caution and skepticism that you would when considering any other investment. • Ignore claims that religiously-based investments are unregulated. Virtually all investment opportunities come under the scope of provincial securities laws. Any claim to the contrary by a promoter is a clear indication that you are dealing with someone who is either grossly uninformed or a con artist. • Check out the promoter and the investment opportunity before money changes hands.

The mouse that soared Computer keyboards have long been suspected of causing repetitive strain injuries. But there's another computer part that's also damaging. The culprit? The desktop mouse, which is increasingly used by office workers to help operate their computers. More and more people are using computers with graphical interfaces, such as Macintoshes or windows on IBM and compatible computers in their daily tasks. Both systems use mice to point to files, highlight text, draw and perform other computer tasks. New research from the University of California at Berkeley shows that the average user may click the mouse anywhere from 10.000 to 80,000 times a week. This overuse can result in discomfort and injuries to the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, thumb and fingers. Graphics workers are most at risk - one-third to two-thirds of their average workday is spent using the mouse. With a graphics program you may expect to click a mouse 976 times an hour compared with 544 times with a database or spreadsheet, and 249 times an hour with a word processing program. Peter Johnson, an advisor with the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration, advises anyone concerned about a mouse- related injury to adopt a pointing device that has a drag lock feature. This feature allows the user to lock the mouse button and drag an object without continuing to press the button. Clicking isn't the only problem with using computer mice, according to a recent Swedish study. Researchers at the National Institute of Occupational Health and at Karolinska Hospital found that mouse users tend to adopt more extreme work postures than non-mouse users, and for longer periods of time. The researchers conclude that "the more extreme working posture for 'mouse' operators can cause a risk for discomfort in shoulder, elbow and wrist. Marked sideways twisting of the hands towards the ulnar side is related to an increase of muscle fatigue of the arms." They suggest new ergonomic work stations be designed with mice and other non-keyboard input devices in mind.

Singer/writer Bob Walkenhorst chooses unusual topics that provoke eye-opening thought because of the perspective and sarcastic humour. As he said a few years ago, "Some people just aren't interested in hearing about the real problems in life, so when you bring them up in a direct way in the context of a rock song, I guess Uiat could be shock- ing." A sample lyric: "The generation that would change the world is still looking for its car keys" — and Stephen King has thrice quoted Walkenhorst in his books.

"I think it is fair to describe him as the modern-day Edison," said Brokaw. "He is reinventing the world, and he has been a breathtakingly successful businessman." William Gates Jr., a Seattle lawyer, has a clue to his son's drive: "He was always the best nut salesman in the Cub Scouts." 'Tycoon," Brokaw's profile of the youthful-looking mogul some call "the boy billionaire," is an hour-long TV program that includes talks with Gates' father and what Brokaw calls "a cursory look" at the younger Gates' 34,000 square foot, $50- million home on Lake Washington, across from Seatde, begun in 1989 and still under construction. It does not include an interview with Gates' wife, Melinda French, 30, a Microsoft manager who told Brokaw she preferred to retain her privacy. She and Gates were married Jan. 1, 1994, on the Hawaiian island of Lanai in a private ceremony notable for tight security. Gates' mother, Mary, a regent at the University of Washington who also headed the King County United Way, died last year. He also has a sister. "It's a very interesting family," said Brokaw, "part of the oligarchy of Seatde. He was raised in a privileged environment, with a very good gene pool. "He was an enormously curious young man, did a lot of reading of science fiction. He told me he wished he'd had access to the kind of encyclopedias that are available in software now. He went to an excellent private school and then to Harvard, but he dropped out after a year to co- found Microsoft" with longtime Seatde buddy Paul Allen. The company, established in 1975 and headquartered in Redmond, Wash., near Seatde, rapidly became the nation's largest software maker. In 1980 International Business Machines Corp. Bill Gates decided to use Microsoft's MS- DOS in its personal computers. Since then, MS-DOS has become the dominant software in the computer industry. Last year, Forbes magazine listed Gates as the country's richest individual, worth an estimated $9.35-billion, just ahead of stock tycoon Warren BuffetL Software buffs note that this year's upgrade, Windows 95, is not yet out, nor is Gates' much- awaited book, 'The Road Ahead," which was to have been published last November by Viking Press. Gates told Brokaw the book would be out late this summer. Does Gates have too much on his plate? Brokaw doesn't seem to think so. "He has what he calls a 'high-band mind.' He can deal with a lot of different things." Brokaw said he found Gates "quite engaging. He has a quick sense of humor. He's quick to laugh, but it also comes through that he doesn't suffer fools." The tousled Gates is not some reclusive, bespectacled computer genius who simply struck it lucky, said Brokaw. Instead, he is "a shrewd businessman. The businessmen I have talked to say he could run anything. We talk about his business style. We talk about whether Microsoft is a rapacious company. We talk about the use of software, whether they really advance the human condition. We talk about the place of all this in education in America. 'I'm kind of intrigued by him. I don't pretend to be close to him, but I think I have seen some kind of social maturation since his marriage.... "He also knows that to grow the business and to deal in this wider world, he has to be a known factor. In fairness to him, he says he was that way (reclusive) because the process of growing the company was so intensive." In a decade or so, Brokaw said, Gates expects to increase his philanthropy. "He's given a pretty big chunk of change to the University of Washington," said Brokaw. "He expects to give away about 90 percent of his profits eventually-" He's made a start: Two weeks ago Gates gave $10-million to the university to honor his mother. In 1991 he gave the university $12- million. Even after most of the taping was finished, Brokaw said, part of his interview with Gates was conducted via computer, linking Brokaw at NBC News in New York City and Gates in Seatde. That underscored what Brokaw, a high school athlete and student council president in South Dakota, thinks of as "the revenge of the nerds. Personally, I always had affection for nerds. They were always showing you things you hadn't thought of. They were their own people. They resisted social pressures." Not yet finished making the profile, Brokaw nevertheless summed up what he hoped it would be: "We are reporting on Bill Gates, the man, the business, the controversy, the promise, the future. He has been very accessible to us and has had no role whatsoever in determining the content. He's kept his end of the bargain, although we'd like to have had a litde more access to his intriguing private life."

In today's auto-oriented society, traffic violations are common, and while many people tend to view these as lesser offences, they can sometime have a serious impact. If you drive without insurance you could face a stiff fine and if you accummulate enough demerit points, you'll suddenly find your driver's license suspended. In more serious traffic offences, like careless driving or hit and run, a summons -will either be mailed to you, or an appearance notice will be personally served on you by a police officer. These spell out the offences and say when you must appear in court. At this first appearance, you'll be asked to plead "guilty" or "not guilty". If you plead "not guilty", a trial date will be set. If you plead "guilty", die judge will ask the Crown prosecutor and you for die facts of die case and then determine die appropriate penalty. The range of penalties are fines up lo $2,000, driving bans for a period of time the court considers appropriate and jail terms of up to six mondis. The more serious the offence the more serious the penalty. If you get a summons or appearance notice, die best general advice is to talk to a lawyer and decide whether you want to hire a lawyer to represent you in court. The other way to be charged is by a violation ticket or traffic ticket which states the offence you are charged with. Such tickets cover a wide variety of provincial offences, including overtime parking, driving without insurance and many offences under the Motor Vehicle Act. The tickets normally show a penalty beside each space. You can pay the fine by mailing it to the address shown on the ticket or pay it in person at the office shown on the ticket If you pay die fine, you don't have to go to court. If you do not dispute the ticket or do not pay the fine, then a conviction is entered against your driving record. You will not be able to renew your insurance or your driver's license until you have paid the penalty. To dispute a ticket notify the office shown on the ticket in person or by mail prior to the date on the ticket. Tell-the registry you want a trial and you'll be notified by mail of the trial date and location. At the trial, witnesses and police officers will tell the judge what they think happened, and you can give evidence also. The judge will decide whedier or not you are guilty. If you're found guilty, the judge will normally fine you die amount that is shown on die ticket, but if you can show real financial hardship, the fine may be reduced. You may also get penalty points which are not debatable in court but are automatically assessed against your driving record by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. For more serious offences, talk to a lawyer and decide whether you want to be represented in court. To get the name of a lawyer, call Lawyer Referral at 687-3221 in Vancouver or for areas outside Vancouver and the lower mainland, call 1-800-663- 1919. 15 area hospitals get funds BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District board of directors has approved die region's share of funding for $l 1.5-million in upgrade projects at 15 area hospitals.

All Rights Reserved Photo radar panned VICTORIA"- The B.C. Reform party has pledged to scrap the photo radar introduced by the New Democrats to nab speeders. Reform MLA Richard Neufeld said the automatic cameras were the "ever watching eyes of Big Brother," targeting car owners and nOt speeders. 'Photo radars are an unreasonable invasion of privacy," Neufeld said. Attorney General Colin Gabelmann balked at the idea of scrapping the scheme, saying he would get back to the Reformers later with a response. But Reform MLA Len Fox said his party's stand against photo radar, hot on the heels of a promise by die new Ontario Tory government to scrap the devices, should serve as a warning to the New Democrats. 'The Ontario election should have sent a clear signal to the Harcourt government," Fox said.

Crisis Line closing LANGLEY - It is with regret that the Board of Directors of Langley Family Services announce the closure of the Crisis Line effective September 1, 1995. The Crisis Line, which was opened in August 1983, is one of two in the province which has never received government funding. For the past several years the Crisis Line has been sustained financially by a bingo held weekly at the Langley Community Bingo Palace. Langley Family Services was given one years notice from the B.C. Gaming Commission on June 30, 1994, that the Crisis Line bingo license would not be renewed after June 30, 1995. Over the past year, every effort has been made to secure alternate funding. All efforts have failed. Langley Mental Health provided short term funding for additional staff and training which helped maintain volunteer levels. The Langley Soroptomist Club assisted Langley Family Services in keeping die Crisis Line open an additional two months until Sept. 1st. Another factor in the decision to close was the inception of a new program at Langley Hospital which provides psychiatric nurse clinicians to answer calls and provide service in the emergency department. "As this service is also available in other area hospitals such as Peach Arch, it is clear the government is indeed moving in "New Directions", said Betty McClurg, Executive Director of Langley Family Service. "We applaud this new service which is greatly needed in this community." she continues, "As a majority of our calls are psychiatric calls, it would seem unlikely the government would provide additional funding to our crisis line. In any event our funds are exhausted and we cannot continue past SepL 1st. We have appreciated the dedication of die-crisis line staff and volunteers, who have served the community over the past 12 years. We will be holding a thank you party for all present and past staff and volunteers toward the end of August I would like to invite former Crisis Line volunteers, who we may be unable to contact, to call me at 534-7921, and I will give them die time and place of the party."

From the state of Uttar Pradesh in the north to Tamil Nadu in the south, from eastern Orissa to western Gujarat, hundreds of millions of women and girls paint traditional scenes and symbols on houses, courtyards, streets and statues in hopes of winning the favor of Lakshmi, Hindu goddess of fortune and fecundity, and other deities. Scholar Stephen P. Huyler, 43, has crisscrossed the vast Indian subcontinent over the past 23 years, studying these "painted prayers" and the dozens of distinctive subcultures to which they arc vital. Sixty-one of his extraordinary photographs of diis devotional art and its devout artists arc presently on display at the Smidi- sonian's Sackler Gallery. The origins of this almost-universal Indian practice arc obscure, Huyler says, but lhe practice goes hack countless generations and perhaps thousands of years. And even diougli the nation is urbanizing, the overwhelming majority of Indian women and girls still follow die custom. Since the female population numbers about 350- million - one in six of (he women and girls on the planet - painted prayers must be the world's most popular pictorial art. Yet the artists don't think of it as art at all. 'Throughout India," writes Huyler in the book on which the exhibition is based, "except in the eastern state of Orissa, the verb used to describe the ornamentation is 'to write,' not 'to paint.' Women will say they have written decorations on lhe wall or floor. They view their paintings as a means of communicating directly widi the gods." Huyler quotes Kamala, a basket weaver of north Bihar: "First I am silent and in quiet the picture is made in my heart. Then I bring it out whole from my heart lo write on the walls. It is a message from me lo Ma (the Mother Goddess), my painted prayer, and when it is pure I know she will hoar me." The exhibition focuses on villages in seven representative regions, if any selection can be said to be-rcpresentative of such various peoples. Designs and materials range from simple traditional patterns painted in rice paste to elaborate bas-reliefs sculpted from mud and cow dung. Immanuel Lutheran Church Jff 3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove |j 856-4710 ^ Rev. Paul Phillips Weekday School Thurs., 7 pm Worship Service Sun., 10:30 am In Kerala, on the Malabar Coast, flowers fill in designs outlined in dyed rice powder. The most commonly used medium is a transparent slurry of ground rice, which dries to a brilliant white, but die use of colors is increasing in Orissa and elsewhere. In Jodhpur, Rajasthan, one day some 30 years ago, a woman inadvertently mixed too much bluing into her whitewash but liked il so well that she went ahead and painted her house widi it for die annual Divali festival in Lakshmi's honor. Her Brahman neighbors liked it also, and blue has become (he trademark of the old Rajput kingdom's capital. Ilie busy modern urban Indian woman, pressed for time and energy like her counterparts around the world, may now purchase manufactured, self-sticking paper prayers: Just peel off the backing and apply. Lakshmi, who's pretty busy herself, presumably makes allowances for such mass-produced messages. The caption of one photo from Uttar Pradesh gives a hint of the rage that smoulders behind some of the smiling faces in this exhibition: "During the festival of Bhai Duj, when brothers and sisters affirm their tics, women in each household make a cow-dung shrine containing mud figures of a man and woman. They take turns pounding the male figure with a large wooden bat, releasing their anger and aggression toward the men in their family. As males may not witness this ceremony, the shrine shown here was rc-cre- alcd for (lie pliottjgrapher." What kind oi fish?

Four men forced their way into (lie rcsideuce, where two men confined the female resident and the others beat and slabbed (he male resident. The man was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital for treatment and is listed in stable they've repaved this. This was the bumpiest part." Reform wants to aim gun bill at criminals condition. The female received minor injuries. The only description of the suspects is young males wearing dark clothing. The motive for the forced entry and beating is not known at this time. Police are asking anyone wilh information regarding this incident to call Langley RCMP at 532-3200 or Crimesloppers at 669-TIPS(8477). OTTAWA - The Reform Party has proposed to split in two the Liberal government's controversial new gun control bill - allowing MPs to vote separately on the bill's tough measures to control scrinie. "Splitting tlie bill will allow diose deserving the wrath of tax- paying Canadians, criminals who believe power comes from the barrel or a gun, to be quickly Billboard nixed MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here have denied die issuance of a permit to Trinity Western University that would have allowed the erection of a large billboard-size sign at the entrance to die campus on Glover Road. The university wanted to install a 168 square-foot temporary fund raising sign at die gate. A sign of that size is illegal under Langley's sign bylaw and the majority of councilors did not want to make an exception from the rule in this case. Every individual, business or institution in the township should live according to the same regulations, they said Monday night. Councilors Muriel Arnason, Mel Kositsky and Steve Burton vetoed the relaxation of the bylaw with only Coun. Steve Ferguson being in favor. "All should be equal in Langley," said Arnason. Yard to expand OTTER - Spools Lumber on Fraser Highway has applied to Langley township for a development permit that would allow for expansion of the old lumber yard. Otter resident Alyin Fast told township councilors in Murrayville Monday night that he was glad to see that improvements would take place and he called for further improvements in the form of left-turn bays on Fraser Highway at 244 Street, as well. Fast said he realized that this was a provincial matter but that all it would take would be clearly painted markings on the highway. Other neighbors also expressed concern about traffic safety at the intersection where large trucks turn left to enter the lumber business. "Tlie road (244 Street) is dangerous," said one delegate. A complaint was also made about hoise emanating from the lumber- yard: i^g^^fe^.'-. ■, • :>^ shown that power comes from the will of die people," Reform MP Myron Thompson told die House of Commons. Thompson argued that many Liberal MPs are publicly mouthing support for die bill - which includes universal firearms registration - while telling voters in their ridings they can't support it. "this bill is causing constituents to lose faith in politicians," said Thompson, MP for the Alberta riding of Wild Rose. "Canadians want accountability from dieir members and this bill will only weaken further the faith of constituents. Constituents have had enough of the two- tailed explanations offered by Liberal members." Thompson and other Reform MPs also argue that the bill has been engineered by urban "elites" who are imposing their 'will on rural Canadians who widely accept the use of rifles and handguns for sport and hunting. "This bill must be split so that Canadians can decide whether criminals must pay for their crimes or whether or not Canadians will allow the decree of the few to dictate to the many." Several Liberal MPs spoke on the bill and said they expect it to be modified in minor ways as it passes through the committee stage of the Commons. Suspended by law society VANCOUVER - A local lawyer has completed a one month suspension and has been ordered by the Law Society of B.C. to pay up to $1,000 in hearing costs.

Reply to: BoxS-21, c/o The Aldergrove Star, 3089-272 St., Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 Public asked for opinion by Abbotsford By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council has accepted the proposal from Waugh Research to carry out a stratified survey of Abbotsford residents to measure public opinion on the issue of secondary suites. People living in rural areas, townhouses and condominiums would be excluded. The cost of the survey is $2,950 plus GST for a sample size of 900, which will be broken down into six areas with 150 households from each area being surveyed. Waugh also has a Punjabi speaking interviewer to deal with respondents who speak Punjabi as their main language. The other quote received was from CV Marketing, which was asking $3,838.50 plus GST for a sample size of 300. A meeting date of August 28 has been set up to discuss the survey questions. At the same time council received a letter and petition from residents on Cascade Street asking for their street be designated a 'non basement suite zone', and for council to respect the (single family) zoning they have paid for. Councilors still have mixed views on the issue of legalizing secondary suites, and on the idea of a survey regarding the issue. Councilor Chuck Wiebe called the survey a total waste of money, and suggested that council is probably not going to do anything with the results anyway. "To be fair to the neighbourhoods with suites, they are the ones who should be asked if they want suites on their street or next to them, not just anybody." Councilor Wendy Lee said the survey is part of a package, and this is a poll that will reach people who may otherwise be missed. "The decision will be made from staff and public input," she said. "For $2,000 this is a bargain." Councilor Mark Warawa said that the survey is just part of getting information. It will give people an opportunity to tell council if they want suites, with certain conditions, or not. Mayor George Fergusson called the survey a worthwhile effort, and said it is one way to deal with a complicated process. Absent from the meeting were Councilors Ken Funk, Simon Gibson and Jack Robertson. VISA now we accept both Aldergrove V^ICIJ "lllegitimus non carborundum" Star 3089 - 272 Street Aldergrove, B.C.

Rezoning approved ALDERGROVE - A subsidiary company under Gloucester Industrial Estates has made application to Langley township and the provincial Agricultural Land Commission for exclusion of a 3.5-acre parcel from the land reserve. Property is located on the west side of Jackman Road (272 Street) immediately north of the Trans- Canada Highway, and is described as "rolling and generally cleared (with) no buildings." The land is being acquired by Gloucester from the provincial government and would be incorporated in the industrial park. The provincial government's highways department has already committed itself to building a freeway overpass at this location, according to Langley township planners. Rezoning has received council's blessings. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 16,1995 23 Kung Fu masters make debut at PNE VANCOUVER - For 1500 years the Buddhist monks of tlie Shao Lin Temple in China have been shrouded in mystery. Originators of the famous martial-arts school of Kung Fu, the monks have quiedy perfected their craft which has been made popular world-wide through television and the movies. Now, for the first time in North America, the masters of Shao Lin will share their Kung Fu secrets with the western world, at the PNE. Ranging in age from five to 85 Uie monks of Shao Lin train long and hard to hone their expertise, spending five or six hours every day of the year practicing. This dedication is necessary in order for the monks to perform their amazing fcals of sttfength, concen- tration and discipline. One ol the most stunning displays is by 19 year old Si Xing- song. I Ie is one of only two people in the world who can perform the "Two Fingers Zcnist Kung I7u," which has not been performed outside China iu 1500 years. The feat involves Xingsong locusing his strength on the tips of his index fingers then lifting himself into a handstand. While many have attempted diis unusual form of kung fu most who have attempted it have suffered broken fingers while practising and as a result cannot continue Uieir train- ing. The monks will perform August 23 and 25 al the PNE Fair. Tickets arc $19 (including GST) and also include admission to the fair. Advance tickets are available al Ticketmaster.

BC MINISTFR fiAYfi Ontario minister an S.O.B. VICTORIA - Plans by the Ontario government to give welfare recipients one-way fare to British Columbia has reduced one cabinet minister here to profanity. Ontario Social Services Minister David Tsubouchi was quoted in the Toronto Sun as promising to pay up to $1,500 for anyone on welfare to move to another province where they can prove they have close relatives. "I've always liked a warmer climate myself," Tsubouchi said. "The weather in B.C. is nicer." "That rotten S.O.B ," Small Business, Tourism and Culture Minister Bill Barlee said. Ontario's new Conservative Premier Mike Harris has announced that he will soon be slashing welfare payments in that province by 21 percent. B.C.'s rates are already by far the most generous in the country. Particle plant plans to produce pot boards GRAND FORKS - A local particle plant with plans to manufacture boards from hemp has joined the fight to licence Marijuana fanning. Roy Clermont, general manager at CanPar Industries, Said hemp particle boards could fill a niche in the building market because of their firc-rctardant properties. He wants to begin tests with the banned plant, to see if his company's idea would work. "Hemp could be a locally grown product that we may or may not be able to use," he said. "We could use an awful lot of it, if it works out." Clermont said his company will financially back research into tlie practicality of using hemp in building materials. He added that with the present information he couldn't be sure if using hemp would cut any production costs. "What we'd like, to do is start running lab tests," he said. "The feasibility is good." Clermont said using hemp in the building industry would be a boon to the community. By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council voted lo receive two letters from residents regarding noise at last Monday's meeting, but not without some discussion. One letter was written by Gina Rugglcs who suggested that noise times be restricted mainly because of construction noise occurring near residential areas. She. said in her letter that the present bylaw that allows construction noise between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays and holidays is 'not appreciated by most people in the city of Abbotsford.' She suggested it be changed to between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Council considered this to he a reasonable request, but did not vote to make any changes. Councilor Brad Boyse suggested thai what's missing in noise complaint situations is the 'good neighbour', and suggested people ask dieir neighbours to be quiet if they causing disturbing noises. * **r & On the other hand Councilor Mark Warawa, who tried to have the current noise bylaw become more restrictive at Uie last council meeting, said that a construction site is not a 'good neighbour.' Councilor Wendy Lee said Uiat noise is a matter of perception and there should be a system to truly assess what noise is, because of the problem wilh measuring it. The other letter received was from Keith Pincottlwho suggested that Abbotsford follow in the steps of West Vancouver which, on May 1, brought in a very testriclive noise control bylaw. Councilor George Peary called the West Vancouver bylaw repulsive, and said the more specific a bylaw is, the harder it is to enforce. The bylaw is quite specific and restricting. Highlights include: No construction on Sundays and holidays; Lawn, building, and garden maintenances is only allowed between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sundays and holidays and 8 a.m. to 8 .m. on other days; Motor vehicle repairs and boat building and repairs are not allowed on Sundays and holidays; Unampli- fied vocal and instrumental music is allowed only between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. any day; No amplified sound equipment, shouting, singing, barking or animal crying for any duration exceeding 15 minutes any day or night; and no sounds from any function at a park, school ground or other place not in a building. Councilor Patricia Ross called the bylaw 'too specific.' "No motor vehicles repairs on Sundays and holidays?
