Ishtar hometretuf ns to 'Grove Labor Bill 84 opposition now at 35,000 VANCOUVER | Six more organizations have joined the Coalition of B.C. Businesses. The group is calling on the Harcourt govssrnment to make B.C.'s labor laws more responsive to the needs of small and medium-sized companies. Over 35,000 small and medium- sized businesses and 20 organizations are now represented in the campaign to amend Bill ,34, B.C's new labor code. The coalition also announced that it will be pressing the provincial government for responsible measures in upcoming changes to employment standards, pay equity and human rights legislation. "Smaller companies are the key source of new job creation in B.C. and the government must recognize this reality by making Bill 84 more responsive to the tough circumstances these companies face," said Kathy Sanderson, coalition chair. The newest members of the coalition are: B.C.Ready-Mixed Concrete Association, Building Owners and Managers Association of B.C., Council of Tourism Associations of B.C., Downtown Vancouver Association, Greenhouse Nursery Producers and Wholesalers of B.C., Vancouver Parking Association. "As it now stands, Bill 84 is unacceptable," said Sanderson. "There is still time to make changes in areas such as secondary boycotts, the use of replacement workers and certification procedures that would ease the blow of Bill 84. "We are hoping the government will listen and respond favorably." '?%£ ' A rose is a rose; how sweet it is LONDON, England - Former Fraser Valley West MP Mark Rose is now in England. In a patronage appointment that rates up there as a contender for 'mother of all patronage appointments', Premier Mike Harcourt has awarded Rose for years of faithful service to the NDP movement. Rose will be living at the prestigious B.C.House address and paying a pittance of $583-33 a month in rent for the privilege. He will be driven around London in a chauffeur-operated Mercedes Benz, and will be collecting $120,000 a year in salary and tax-free allowances on top of his $60,000 a year in various government pensions. : Beth Rose and Harcourt were vicious opponents of 'patronage appointments' when they were in opposition. And nobody, not even Rose seems to know what the job is all about. See also the editor's column on page 4. By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - This community will soon have a transition house for women and ichildren who are forced to leave abusive homes. Provincial social services funding has been approved for Ishtar Transition House in Langley city, to open a second transition house in Aldergrove, as soon as possible. "We'd like to have it open by February first," said Ishtar board president, Sandra Hulbert, Friday. "We're quite excited," said Linda Dressier, the manager of the society. "We've had this proposal in for some time." The two women have been "America's Sweetheart" Dorothy Hamill will be the special guest star ot the 1993 Ice Capades, January 5 to 10 at the Coliseum. Her fluid skating and infectious charm are unparalleled in performance, and she has been a big influence on popular culture, but she says skating's the opportunity to "just be myself.

Arsenal seized LANGLEY - A 26-year-old Langley man has been charged with drug offenses after RCMP seized a number of restricted weapons and a large amount of ammunition following searches of homes in Surrey and Langley. Charged with importing cocaine at a street value of about $5-million is Michael Vukelich, of 19846 - 28 Avenue. Surrey and Langley RCMP also seized a number of automatic and semi-automatic rifles, ammunition, silencers, tear gas and hand grenades. The arrest follows 10 months of intensive investigation and involved police forces in Canada and the U.S. as well as customs officials. According to RCMP, 140 kilos of cocaine was delivered to a Surrey residence over a 10- month period. In return, Cdn.$2- million was paid to suppliers in the U.S. Arrests have simultaneously been made by American law enforcement officials. Vukelich appeared in Surrey provincial court last week. searching the Aldergrove rental market, looking for a four bedroom home close to all amenities, such as services, shopping and transit. A two-year lease is required, as there is funding provided for installation of exp»snsive fire safety services such as sprinklers. An option to purchase would be ideal, said Hulbert, but she said she realizes that may be asking too much. The location of the transition house must be kept a secret, which also means that there is a "Mexican standoff" between Ishtar and the municipal government. The Langley city council and staff has been "very 'Ishtar", page 2 VOL.34 NO.48 THURSDAY.

The clinic will be opoi from 2 until 8 p.m. Although the Red Cross must collect an average of 700 units of blood every day throughout the year in B.C., the clinics that occur around the'cjhbliday season are especially critical. The combination of people have less spare time to go out and donate blood, and the fact that holidays take away potential collection days, makes giving blood at this time of year more important than ever. Whether you have donated one hundred times or have never given before, consider donating blood this December.

In an interview broadcast by a local cable television station, VanderZalm revealed plans for a carefully managed return to public life in the wake of his July 25 acquittal on criminal conflict of interest charges. "I'll be a bit more involved starting next winter," VanderZalm told the interviewer. He said that while his plans do not include running for political office right away, he does intend to get more involved in the issues of the day - "if not in a purely political role, then certainly I plan to be there at the fringes to sort of prod the politicians a little." VanderZalm told reporter Gloria Chang that he will be concentrating on economic and constitutional issues. "Probably I'll be speaking to various chambers of commerce groups about what it is I see happening, and how people within a community can help address some of the problems we face." His return to the limelight comes several months after his acquittal in B.C.Supreme Court. He had beenpeharged with criminal Breach of trust in negotiating the 1990 sale of his Fantasy Gardens world theme park in Richmond to Taiwanese billionaire Tan Yu. Justice David Campbell ruled that while the former premier may have been guilty of "foolish" and "ill-advised" activities, the crown prosecutor failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that VanderZalm had used his position as premier to further the sale of his property.

They "have their rules and we have our mandate" to keep the location secret, said Hulbert, "so there we sit. We have to go ahead, we can't do the public hearing process." Two prospective landlords in Aldergrove have been very open to the idea of renting to Ishtar, but in the one case the home is too grand and in the other, the home is too rundown. The hunt continues, but Hulbert and Dressier feel a suitable location can be found within the next couple of weeks. They also asked that any prospective landlords call Ishtar (530-9442 or 530-2224) to set an appointment to view other homes. "We make excellent tenants," noted Hulbert. "We're quiet and the rent is guaranteed to be on time. The women and children will be from your area. Last summer I helped build a fence at the Langley city house and I talked to the neighbor first to see if the fence would be satisfactory. He said his family liked Ishtar as a neighbor because of Hurtig wants to everffhe score OTTAWA - It doesn't have a name, yet. But it does have a party leader, named Mel Hurtig. The party, describing itself as left-of-center, will have its agenda published in a book that is expected to be released this month. Hurtig says he hopes the party will field at least 50 candidates in the next federal election. Hurtig is a well-known political expert and late book publisher who went broke. He blamed his demise from business on the Mulroney government and vowed to get even no matter what. the extra police presence; help was always near at hand if needed, he felt." Dressier said that there have never been incidents at Ishtar over the past 12 years, but police do regularly patrol the neighborhood, and on occasion deliver women and children to the home for their protection. Hulbert pointed out that the women who escape abusive husbands are not always young, either. The women are of all age groups, up to senior citizens. "We had a 74 year old woman who left a marriage of 50 years. It was most heartbreaking; her children had their own families, she was on her own with nothing." The need has grown steadily over recent years. While the Langley home has housed 3,007 women and children since 1982, last year they had to turn away 573 due to lack of space. So far this year, they have had to turn away 520. These women are referred to other transition houses, but it's hard to track down what may have happened to women who have called Ishtar from a phone booth Women are screened beforehand to ensure there are no drug or alcohol problems, too. "We can't have users in the setting, it's too disruptive. We can't have conflict. Everyone must comply with the house rules," said Hulbert. Addicts are referred to other services in the community. "We would help anyone find appropriate housing," said Hulbert. "But we need goodwill in the house. The women come in very traumatized by the blowup that caused them to leave, but they soon find all the women are in the same boat, they're not alone. They gain confidence and become better informed. "We only help them look at options. They may decide to return, as promises by the husband to change his ways can draw them back. It's not unusual for a woman to teave seven or eight times before they make a break." Dressier said the women are IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE Social services minister Joan Smallwood helped Ishtar Transition House board president Sandra Hulbert celebrate the plans for a new Aldergrove transition house for battered women and children last week. Hulbert said the search is on for a suitable residence near the town core, and she hopes to see it open as early as February 1. not forced to leave after the 30 day stay that the ministry provides for. "We don't say, sorry, you have to leave after 30 days are up. We do everything possible to help find a suitable new home, but we dont force them into something because it's more likely that they'll return to an abusive situation if they feel too much pressure. The ministry usually gives an extension of a week or two, as needed." Ishtar also provides other services aside from housing and counselling. Ishtar raises funds through bingo and casino to give women cash towards new bedding and such, and provide a personal hygiene kit, too. "When they leave they may grab a purse and the kids, but they might not have so much as a toothbrush. They may need some things because access to their former home may not be guaranteed. We also have donated clothing for them; we call it the Ishtar Boutique," said Dressier. Organizations in the community are also very supportive of Ishtar. Donated funds come from such groups in Aldergrove as the Seniors' Thrift Shop and the Daffodil Lionesses, and are usually earmarked for su«ch things as the childcare room. However, quality of life is important, and the Lionesses, for example, gave Ishtar i a gas barbeque recently. "It's a luxury," said Hulbert. "But the women sure got use out of it." "The feedback (from the Aldergrove community and groups about the new transition house) is that they're thrilled to bits' that it's finally coming," said Hulbert While the provincial funding doesn't provide for purchase of a home, Hulbert said an application to CMHC for funding is "first in the queue" and the province is also "working on something." She said it would be ideal to eventually purdiase a home. Dressier said abuse prevention and intervention has also been identified as a priority by the social services ministry, and another local announcement is forthcoming regarding establishment of a downtown storefront office for support groups and counselling. A child support worker will be established in Langley, too. "We have already found an excellent location for this," said Hulbert.

With the deficit climbing and the middle class taxed to its limit, the prime minister was inviting members of the opposition to provide solutions to our economic problems. Both Liberal leader Jean Chretien and NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin accused the Tory government of. failing to come up with any answers to the country's economic woes. An advisory committee made up of all three political parties has been set up by Speaker John Fraser to tackle changes to House of Commons rules'regarding delinquent behavior among members of parliament. Under the recommended proposals, MPs would face penal action for any racist, sexist or anti-gay remarks, likely in the form of suspension. Other forms of punishment being considered are a prohibition of serving on any commons committee, entering the commons chamber or entering his or her office. Perhaps in a more direct hit to home, MPs may also be fired under parliamentary rules, or be docked a day's pay for each day of the suspension. "The rules are reasonable, they're strong enough," said one MP from Windsor. "I think they will be a deterrent and that's their intent." representing the parents. Money will be used to assist in completing the children's wading pool now being built in the park. VICTORIA - Premier Mike Harcourt hinted last week that the government might change strike provisions in the new draft labor code, but business spokesman Jim Matkin said much more needed to be done to allay the fears of B.C.'s non-union private sector. The premier and Labor Minister Moe Sihota said a minor change in provisions against replacement workers might be considered. As Bill 84 currently reads, strikebound companies will be prohibited from hiring replacement workers. And they will not be able to order their own non-union staff to do the job of the strikers, While managers will be allowed to do- the workers' tasks themselves, they will not be allowed to bring in management from locations not affected by the strike, not even if they are family members. It is this final ban which Harcourt suggested might be changed. "That's good," said Matkin, adding that there was plenty more wrong with the bill. "The main thing is the process," he said. There was consultation with both labor and business before the bill was drafted, but Matkin said there should be further consultation "now that weVe got a look at it." When leaders of six business associations asked for continued negotiations three weeks ago, the NDP government said that this was the same as "back room deals" which it would have no part in.. "No, no, no, no, no," said Matkin. "We never wanted that, just a chance to negotiate changes." Matkin said a principal con: cern of the non-unionized business sector was how easy it would be for unions to organize. "The high technology sector, is very apprehensive. 11 is traditionally non-union." The new code would also remove the current requirement for a secret, ballot by workers before a union is certified as thek bargaining agent. Final fiscal exoneration for Socreds? 1 VICTORIA - Social Credit leader Jack Weisgerber claimed last week that a financial report just released by the New Democrats showed that the provincial treasury got "the best management of any province in Canada" during the Socred's last five-year term. But his efforts to get NDP Finance Minister Glen Clark to admit to this were fruidess. Clark would hot answer his questions about the report, but instead spoke of the "terrible legacy of Social Credit, resulting in a $2.3-billion debt" at the end of the NDP's 1991-92 fiscal year. The report cited by the Socred leader was the Economic Accounts 1982-1991- It showed B.C. ran a $2-billion surplus over the past five years with deficits of $150-million and $49-million in 1987 and 1991, and surpluses of $628-million, $986-million, $900- million in 1988, 1989 and 1990.

DECEMBBft^fWZ' At deadline... By RUDY LANGMANN Rose rose to the occasion Dear Mark, gj||p You have certainly come a long way, my friend. I remember when we first met. It was during the prosperous mid- 'sixties and I was a young construction foreman, a free enterpriser with a social conscience. You, a starry-eyed university prof of thirty- something. We met - no, we actually didn't at the time - at a small construction site in Maple Ridge. You were campaigning (unsuccessfully) for your first job in real politics. A big car stopped down by the road and a woman climbed the hill to talk to us blue-collar workers: "Hi, I am Isabel Rose." When we told your wife that as voters we were actually carpet baggers from south of the river, she quickly bade us adieu and went back down to chauffeur you to your next appointment on your busy schedule. My men and I had caught a glimpse of you, waiting impatiently beside the car. £*ji|p A few years went by and you managed to get yourself elected member of Parliament for Fraser Valley West. In the meantime, I had become .editor-publisher of The Star. This time we actually met face- to-face. You started writing a report-from-Ottawa-column for the paper, showing your talent for newspapering and beating the drum for your party. On many occasions we discussed politics in my office, and you became quite upset when I suggested that maybe you were really a small-l liberal. But we got along fine, you and I. Tell me Mark, are you still a socialist? No. Of course not. You have moved beyond that, into the 'statesmanship' of pseudo-diplomacy. You're on your way. On your way to sipping five o'clock tea with Liz at Buckingham while your chauffeur of the '90s (no longer Isabel) waits in the servants' quarter. •Who knows, maybe even on your way to a title as a peer of the realm? Stranger things have happened, you know. Of course you're not a socialist - nor a liberal or even (perish the thought) a Red conservative like the ones in Ottawa. Today you're a man of great influence and import, a man of the world. The politicians do your bidding. It would be totally out of line for me to ask rude questions, such as: what the Sam Hill does British Columbia need an ambassador in London for? Or why do I have to pay you $200,000-pius per (including numerous pensions and tax-free perks) at the same time as the Ottawa-Victoria conspiracy is doing its best to reduce the middle classes of this, country to slavery? I was not born, to be a serf, Mark, and for old friendship's sake you can do something for me: talk to'Harcourt and Rae or whoever, and get me an appointment as envoy to either Liechtenstein or Quebec Libre. (I can represent British Columbia or Ontario, it doesn't matter). The talents I have. I can drink Moselle wine in Vaduz or absinthe in Montreal with equal bon vivace. My German is passable, my French a bit rusty, but that's no big problem as I can use my hands with true Gallic flair. If it's to be Liechtenstein, I dont even need the Mercedes, a chauffeur-ridden mountain bike will do. I will take up lodgings in the schloss and have verbal intercourse with the prince, telling him to invest his spare Swiss franks in British Columbia. Your immediate attention is humbly requested. I can be advised of the appropriate posting here at the newspaper office when the opening becomes available. But please make il snappy. If it takes too long, I will forward you my new address in the Land of the Free, and I will, of course be quite willing to return from exile there when my appointment comes through. Your friend, W&iZ Rudy Langmann LETTERS TO THE EDITOR They're all bums Editor, The Star, Sir, It is over twenty years since the publication of David Lewis' expose, "Louder Voices: The Corporate Welfare Bums." The French have a saying which, roughly translated says: "The more things change the more they stay the same." This has been shamefully true of Canadain governments, whether Liberal or Tory. In his introduction to "Corporate Welfare Bums," Erie Kierens contradicted Prime Minister Trudeau's statement that Lewis was dealing with a situation that no longer existed. Kierens wrote: "Hie situation has not improved as the government says since the tax reform bill; it has, I repeat, grown worse." In the intervening twenty years it has cx>ntinued to grow worse. The changes brought in by the Tories have decreased the amount of taxes paid by large corporations and those whose incomes come from investments, and have increased the taxes paid by small business and those who work for wages. During the same period billions of taxpayers' dollars have been given to corporations in the form of grants, subsidies and interest-free loans by governments that insist that the rest of us must live or die by the rules of the marketplace. The Tories talk about "the deficit" is just that - talk. The deficit would be eliminated in short order if the government really cared. But those who finance Tory or Liberal' or the Reform Party elections cannot be asked to pay their fair share of taxes or be denied access to the public purse. Perhaps Canadian voters enjoy being robbed, cheated and lied to by their governments, but I doubt it. One of these days they will get angry enough to throw the rascals out and will elect a government that really represents the people. British Columbians did, so there is still hope. GLADYS BROWN, Sardis Hurdling over taxes By MICHAEL WYCKS Stumbling, almost tripping over itself, Canada ' is handicapped in the all-important race for economic competitiveness. While other nations are running sprints, Canada is forced to hurdle over taxes. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 39.4 cents out of every dollar produced in Canada last year went to taxes, a 20 percent increase from the 331 percent paid out in 1985- This figure includes everything from federal and provincial personal and corporate income taxes, unemployment insurance premiums and Qjisjiaffa Pension Plan contributions to property taxes, sales taxes (GST included) and liquor and cigarette taxes. Othssr than the obvious realization that Canadians are being pummeled by taxes, one other serious concern cannot be ignored: all of Canada's major trading partners - United States, Japan, United Kingdom and Germany - pay less taxes than does Canada. The United States (Canada's largest trading partner with almost 70 percent of our total trade), pays just 29-9 cents of every dollar towards taxes. Japan, Canada's second largest trading partner, takes 31-3 cents of every dollar from its citizens. Rounding out the list of major trading partners, the United Kingdom takes 36.2 cents and Germany commands 36.6 cents. - How does a country compete .effectively when so much of its economic output is absorbed by taxes and when its major trading partners all pay less? The answer is, it doesn't, as -Canada is quickly finding out. The' alarms have sounded lately with, warnings of the hardship for our nation if we continue to fall behind in the competitiveness race. Various studies have pointed to low productivity growth, high unit labor costs, high unemployment, anemic investment in skills and technology and choking government - debt, levels as causing Canada to lag behind. If we look at tax levels, however, we see an area where Canada has plenty cf room to improve. Our 1991 Gross National Product (the total amount of goods and services produced) was $674-billion. Of that amount, approximately $265.5-billion went to taxes. Roughly speaking, if Canadians were paying the same amount as Americans, they would have $64- billion more to pour into the economy. It's a delicate balance between investing in - skills and technology, fighting the deficit, creating jobs and trimming taxes. With our competitiveness continuing . to slip, action is needed immediately and a cut in taxes would be a good place to start. What's dear is that governments at all levels are largely responsible for our precarious state - it's time they get thek tax act together. We get what we deserve By CARL G. STEWART Glen Clark is a person who not only has no political experience; he doesn't seem to have any life ■ skills either. He has the nerve to stand up and say that B.C. is in great shape now that the NDP is the government. Finance Minister Clark is incapable of telling the whole truth. He has mismanaged the provincial funds to such a degree that he needs a scapegoat. I am talking about your hard- earned money that has been collected in taxes. He is foolishly attempting to pick on the federal government. Clark has openly stated that the federal government is mainly responsible for his revised $2.7- billion deficit projection. He has suggested that the feds have slashed transfer payments by $500-million. Without sticking up for the feds, B.C. will actually receive an increase of about $240-million. He has also suggested that the feds didn't give him any lead time in their revised fiscal forecast. That is known, as passing the buck. He knew all this stuff by October 1 because he made comment on the issue and it came in on the wire and the story was printed. Some people, if they are caught in a lie or in the act of doing something wrong, will tell a bare-faced lie to get themselves off the hook. The moral of this short tale is that we have a finance minister who is perfectly willing to tell out-and-out lies in an attempt to cover up his lack of experience, ability and political knowledge. D'Arcy McGee said a long time ago: "Canadians get the politicians they deserve." Now don't ask me who was D'Arcy McGee.

Aldergrove's Div. #1 downed the Fort Islanders 2-1, at McMillan Island Park. - Tim Attwood photo Bruins robbed in dying seconds ALDERGROVE - The Valley Gravel Sales Bruins Atom "A" were skating back in form Thursday night as they came head to head with North Delta on home ice. After two difficult weeks, the Bruins came out aching for a win. They had it in sight, only to have it snatched away in the dying seconds of the game. It was an on-the-edge-of-your- seat kind of game as the Bruins controlled the play throughout, firing shot upon shot at the big North Delta goalie. But try as they ■ might they could not get past his guard. North Delta got the first goal of* the game at 10:32 .of the first period on a power play. No more goals were to be had by either team for the remainder of that period nor in the second as the two goalies made spectacular saves, thwarting all attempts made against them. Aldergrove was cleady outshooting North Delta, and it was only a matter of time. The time was 10:40 in the third when Ben managed to tuck in a neat pass from Mark and put the Bruins on the scoreboard. The spectators were going wild as Aldergrove kept up the pressure. The action was nonstop as they pummelled the North Delta defence. They shot low and die goalie blocked them; they tried for the corners and the goalie picked them out of the air; they tried for the hole betw<2en the legs a"nd~the hole was gone. Then at 3:21 Paul managed to get one in high up under the goalie's arm, with the assist going to Mark, and the Bruins moved ahead 2-1. Twssnty-three seconds later North Delta scored an answering goal to again tie up the game. With only 54 seoonds remain-, ing in the game, Scotty took the pass from Dustin and scored what was to have been the winning goaL But as many a sports fan has learned, "The game isn't over until the buzzer sounds." With the players lined up against the boards, the stands quiet and still for the first time, the last 17 seconds slowly, too slowly ground down as we watched a lone North Delta player, skate in on Davis to slide the puck in on a penalty shot that ended the game with a 3-3 tie. Come out and watch the next home game, Thursday at 8 p.m. against Semiahmoo.

DECEMBER 3v!1992 Hawks riding on a roller coaster By GEORGE GREATBANKS ALDERGROVE - The All^- grove Hawks U-15 SiWei squad, sponsored by Langley Chrysler, are bent on learning the hard way. After two fairly successful seasons in the Bronze division, they have stepped up a level to Silver, finding it quite a soccer education. The latest curve on their roller coaster ride, came on Saturday Nov. 28 at Steele Park, where they entertained Bumaby Heights Lazio, a team which has provided good competition for the Hawks in '92/93- They defeated them on opening day, tied them a few weeks ago, so this was the rubber match. Coming off 4 straight losses, two heartbreakers plus one pure soccer lesson for the Hawk players, rebound was on their mind. On a day when the elements were quite unstable, the Hawks came flying out of the shoot to provide their fans with the best 40 minutes of soccer they have played this season. They completely dominated Lazio through- Tweensbusy last week ALDERGROVE - The Tween B Ringette Team had a very busy weekend by playing 3 games in 4 days. On Thursday Nov. 26 the team should have tied North Shore, but for a coaching gamble that didn't pay off lost to North Shore 7-6. Erika Pearson, 4 goals, Shannon Waters, 1 goal, 2 assists, along with a goal from Erin Miller. On Saturday Nov. 28 the local girls were playing at home against Langley (probably the 2nd last tttam in this division). Because of the game on Thursday night, Aldergrove would get the one point they should have got by tying Langley 2-2 in a thriller. Shannon Waters and Erika Pearson each got a goal with Maria Mach and Erika assisting. On Sunday Nov. 29 the team went to Abbotsford to play. With 2 players missing this was an uphill battle for the local girls but we would win 4-2. Erika Pearson, 1 goal, 1 assist, Lindsay Carron, Erin Miller, -Leslie Thomasson eacii with a goal. Tara Swinden, 1 assist. Tina Harty had to be sharp in net for these 3 games, stopping 76 shots, while there were only 39 shots total on the oth«2r 3 teams. The defense came up big again with Erin Miller, Alyssa ' Hogan, Shannon Witt and Lindsay Carron working hard against this fast skating team. Maria Mach, Kristine Hargrove, Tara Swinden, Leslie Thomasson, Erika Pearson and Shannon Waters fought hard to keep up and score against these teams. . out the first half of play, it was no surprise therefore, when t<?am captain Brian Neufeld opened' the scoring with his first of three, beating the Lazio keeper with a shot to the far post from an extremely acute angle. The Hawks were awarded the first of two penalty shots for handball, but "Mr. Automatic'', Ryan Carey found a problem with his transmission and shot right at the keeper, he was given a chance to redeem himself on the second penalty, but missed the net completely. Luckily the Hawks were flying, thek confidence level up in the stratosphere, as they tore the Lazio defence to shreds. Neufeld netted a curling free- kick from fully 30 yards out, then Cam Dickinson, who had yet to score in league play, got the monkey off his back with a superbly taken goal. Neufeld, with a powerful shot again from long range, rounded out the first half scoring with the Hawks holding a commanding 4-0 lead. The second half opened with the Hawks peppering the Lazio goal with shots from all angles, only sterling work by the keep«2r and bad luck, kept them off the scoresheet. Then Craig Howarth, who has been designated to take many of the set-play kicks, netted an inswinger, direct from a corner kick that the keeper could only touch, but not stop from soirling in at the far post. That was it for the Hawks, as they eased off the gas a little too early. Lazio turned up the heat a notch and with some help from a generous game official, managed to pull back three goals to make the scx>re line more respectable as the Hawks breezed to a 5-3 win. ?ffil§l It is hard to find stars when a team puts together such a solid effort, but Brian Povey had a strong game, as did Mike Makara, #who has been converted into a fullback from his normal strikers role. Mark Howarth and Garry Johnson, who late in the game cleared a shot off the goal-line, were solid in defense. So the Hawks, who rode the roller coaster down a steep grade to a 9-1 humiliation just 2 short weeks ago, have regrouped and come around the corner to a convincing win. It remains to be seen if the rest of the ride is smooth, or if there are still more deep ciiasms and dangerous corners to speed into and around, the more gentle ride would make it much easier on the constitution. Next week, they get a chance to lay to rest a jinx, the Poco Rangers, who have lifted two games from the Hawks that were out-and-out robberies. If they play as they did against Lazio, they will prevail, but there may still be a big clipper waiting just around the bend. Mad dogs and Englishmen J^pl Aldergrove's Dawson Brill team applied the pressure but the newly sponsored Mad Dog Sports team, in a scoring rally, late in the third period Saturday, squeaked by 4-3. -Tim Attwood photo.

DECEMBERS. 1992 The Thunderbirds are whooping it up after making a number of successes this season. Upstartf Thunderbirds mate their mark ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Thunderbirds are establishing a reputation for themselves in a very competitive Fraser Valley Under 11 League. Last Saturday at South Aldergrove, their home park, the team came back from a 1-0 deficit late in the second half to tie the Surrey Selects 1-1. The Selects have the best win-loss record to date, so this was a significant achievement. Despite the Surrey team scoring the first goal, the Thunderbirds dominated the play. Outstanding effort by all players, including aggressive checking was one of the reasons our boys did so well. This is a specific skill that the team has been working dpiz in practice, according to the coaching staff. Special mention should be made of Josh Koleman who Sscored the only Thunderbird goal and played an outstanding game, despite a recent bout with the flu. Josh, along with Steve Lang, were most effective in blocking up the middle. Josh Medjusdc played very solidly as back sweep, a position whi<±i he. played for the first time. Josh along with Steve Povey and Ken Thompson made scoring on the Thunderbird's fiesty goal keeper, Tyler Jorgensen, very difficult. The endurance and midfield play of Kevin Rochon and Zachary Hogan was also notable. As was mentioned- above, it was a solid team effort and all players, including those not mentioned, specificly, can be proud of their efforts. Last week's game was only, one of many recent highlights that are making other teams in the league take note of the upstart Thunderbirds. Last week, despite the miserable cold weather, the team managed a 2-0 win over another Surrey team, the Wolverines. The week before the Thunderbirds beat the rival Chilliwack United 2-0, a team that has been a thorn in their side since the league began. The team also had a very successful exchange with the Newport Nailers from Bellview Washington. Although the level of soccer was not competitive the boys got to experience an international event The Thunderbird parents, who are a most supportive crowd, got into the act by going down to Bellvue and also doing a superb job of showing Canadian hospitality to the American families who came to Canada. It should be a terrific and exciting season for the their fine play and sportsman- tunity to thank their sponsor, the business the team has been able Thunderbirds as they continue to ship.

Boys Basketball Team defeated all comers to win the third annual Langley and District Basketball Tournament held at Walnut Grove Secondary on the weekend. On Thursday, the Totems came out firing on all cylinders and demolished H.D. Stafford by a score of 81-43- It was sweet revenge for Aldergrove, as the Skyhawks defeated Aldergrove last Saturday. "We weren't ready to play the last time we met. Stafford outworked us and w«2re ready. We weren't prepared to play hard and we deserved to lose," said coach Glenn Whitting- ton. This time was different. "The boys were ready and willing to do the things it takes to win. We were aggressive at both ends of the floor. The guys played much better defensively and the offense started to come around," said Whittington. Friday night saw the Totems . defeat rival D.W. Poppy Redhawks 72-67. As with every meeting between these two teams, the game was exciting, intense, and entertaining, lhe Totems employed a varied defensive game plan, and a determined attack. "The Totems played well at times defensively, but needed to be more consistent. D.W. Poppy is a good young team, and they played well. We had some lapses in the first half defensively, coverages and rebounding, but we tightened up in the second half. If we could make our layups and in-close chances we would have salted the game away earlier." said Whittington. Poppy's Jason Hollingsworth shot the ball well, hitting five three-pointers in the second half. Aldergrove's Ray Stanley showed why he may be the bssst all- around player in Langley - he outplayed D.W. Poppy's star, Hollingsworth in all phases of the game: defensively, offensively, and in a leadership capacity. "Ray has a lot of ability, he understands the game, and he is a tirele^ worker." Stanley finished the game with 30 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists. Josh Carriss turned in another outstanding performance for the Totems, netting 26 points, pulling down 18 rebounds, and registering 5 steals. "Without the hard work, leadership, and presence on the court, we wouldn't have won this game." Other notable performances were turned in by Romel Guye, with 10 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds, and Micah Brocka who did yeoman service defensively and running the offense. Guye and Doug Campbell did a good defensive job on Hollingsworth. Aldergrove met the Mountain Eagles in Saturday night's championship final. The Totems were the favoured team to take the final game, and did win by a score of 77-65- The game started off well for the Totems, as they pressed and outworked the Eagles, leading at the end of the first quarter 18-8. Events went against the Totems early in the second quarter, as Josh Carriss came out of the game with 3 fouls, and then moments later Ray Stanley injured his ankle and had to be helped off the floor. The Totems became hesitant on defense and offense. They missed 7 layup opportunities, and allowed the bigger Mountain team to take control of the game. The Eagles outscored the Totems 26-6 in the second quarter and led at the half 34-24. The second half saw a Totssm's team oome out and just would not be denied. A 10 to 2 run by the Totems was answered by a three-pointer by Mountain's Jamie Thirsk. The temporary hope for the Eagles was dashed When Ray Stanley replied immediately with his own 5"; three-pointer. Carriss, Stanley, and Guze controlled the boards, with Brocka and Doug Campbell leading the fast break. Campbell sank a shot from center court at the third quarter buzzer, which was the final deflating blow to Mountain's hopes of winning. The fourth quarter saw Aldergrove in command and outworking the Eagles right until the final whisde. The final game statistics saw Carriss with 20 points and 14 rebounds; Stanley with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists; Guze with 9 points and 6 rebounds; Campbell with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals; and Brocka with 8 points and 7 assists. Travis Yarych, Les Morris, and Mark Messmer filled in admirably, and held the Totems in the game during the hectic second quarter. The Aldergrove j Totems are champions of the Langley Distrirt, and deservedly so. Unfortunately Brookswood was unable to attend this tournament. The Aldergrove Totems and their fans were looking forward to showing the Bobcats who was the best team in the district despite their numbers. Hopefully, the fact that Brookswood was a "no show" does not give credit to the rumours of their team's lack of strength this season. Time will tell. The Totems look forward to playing the Bobcats later on in the season to reinforce their status as the best team in the Langley District. All in all, a highly successful tournament for the Aldergrove Totems. The team sits with a 6 win, 1 loss record, and hosts Bellingham on Tuesday night, and Frank-Hurt on Wednesday. The team and school invites everyone who enjoys exciting basketball to come out and watcii the team play. Below are the times and dates of the season's home games.

Besides being the inaugural President's Cup games between the two schools, it was also both universities' league openers. UCFV women • totally dominated the hapless Spartans. By half time the score was UCFV 38, TWU 20. The second half was no better for TWU as the UCFV Cascades 'continued to build on their lead. Final score UCFV 84, TWU 46. Five Cascades were in double figures with forward Carta Buchanan top point scorer with 16 points, followed by post Denise Rehman, 15; Sue Parke and Danielle Moe, 14 each, and Tricia Grant, 12. Top scorer for TWU was Jennifer Kreek with 10 points. Wb$ In the men's games both teams came out strong. With Mark Wapples (8), and Jason Watson (11) leading the C's, and Clay Gimmaka (22) and Mike Sambrook (14), heading up the Trinity squad. After a tense first half the score was tied 35-35- The stressful second half had fans and players standing as the lead constantly changed hands. Vince Van Dyk (16) Kevin Bos (10) and Kris Spence (4) all contributed to give the C's a 2 point lead with 3 seconds left to go. The Spartans took a last second 3 point attempt, but to the C's relief, it missed, and they won the game 77-75- Overall the weekend was a huge success for the C's. This' was a particularly sweet victory because the Cascades had not won a game at Trinity since 1988 when they won the Provincial Gold Medal Cascade men travel to Edmonds College on Wed., Dec. 2, and host Highline College on Dec. 11th. Cascade women travel to Green River, Washington and Skagit Valley College in Mt. .Vemon, Wash, on Dec. 4 and 5th respectively. All of these are exhibition games. Uniteds defeat number one team FORT LANGLEY - The Fraser Valley United under l6's travelled to Bonsar Park last Saturciay to do batde with their arch rivals, the Burnaby Selects, and came home victorious. Derrick Turi scored his first, and most important, goal of the season, in the 37th minute of the game. Assists went to Steve Lewis and Mark Gerrard. The play was very intense, as it is everytime these two teams meet, with it being divided 50-50 throughout the game. Both sides came up with several good scoring chances, but Turi's goal remained the game winner. Marc Abshagen had the shut out for the Valley. Fraser Valley United is the only team this season to take points off league leading Burnaby, with a tie in their first encounter, and now a victory in the second round of play. Next week the Valley is at home to Alouette United. Spartans drop close encounter LANGLEY - The Trinity Western Spartans Men's Basketball team lost their first league game to the University College of the Fraser Valley Cascades in a 77-75 thriller. The game was dosely contested throughout. Trinity held its .biggest lead, 13-5, early and Fraser Valley had its biggest lead, 73-68, late in the game. The score was appropriately knotted 35-35 at the half. Actually die game came down to the last second as TWU's Clay Gimmaka launched a 30 foot three point attempt with less than one second remaining that bounced off the rim giving the Cascades their first league victory. Gimmaka lead the TWU attack with 20 points, Mike Sambrook had 14 points, including four 3- pointers, and Marty Penninga added 13 points. Kevin Bos' 16 points led an evenly balanced Fraser Valley attack. Coach Tim Teer stated, "This was as close as two teams could get. It is too bad we had to end up on the losing side." The Spartans will now break for final exams and will regroup after Christmas with the bulk of their league schedule. II HEMLOCK AGASSIZ,B.C.

DECEMBER 3. 1992 11 ALDERGROVE - The Hewitt & Company 'B' Bruins played four games in the past week, 2 league and 2 exibition games. Coquitlam - The first game, a league event, was a barn burner against Coquitlam, with Aldergrove out to make up for a previous 9-4 loss to this team. . Aman Sivia opened the 'B' Bruins scoring with a goal in the first period, assisted by Mark Cassibo. Coquitlam was skating well, and answered with 2 against Aldergrove. Second period scoring saw Aldergrove have a shot-fest on the Coquitlam goalie, with 3 we" played goals being scored, demonstrating the Bruins improved passing game. The 1st of these goals was put in the net by Darcy Benson, assisted by Martin Nicola, and Matthew Keith. On a roll, Jeff Steer s<x>red the 3rd and 4th Aldergrove goals. (2nd & 3rd ' of the period), assisted by Mark Cassibo and Aman. Sivia, and. again by Aman Sivia, putting Aldergrove Bruins ahead at the end of the period. Coquidam came ba<± strongly in the 3rd period, but Jeff Steer was not to be denied his hat trick as he scored the Bruins 5th goal, assisted by Mark Cassibo and Ben Eldridge, taking time out from his usual goal-tending dudes. The play see-sawed from end to end, with Kristopher Keith putting in a strong performance in his first full game in goal. Coquitlam put in a major drive and pulled ahead by 1 goal, but a strong effort by the Hewitt & Company 'B' Bruins saw the game tied 6-6 with a final goal by Darcy Bensen, assisted by Martin Nicola and Joel Loates. An excellent result! Ridge Meadows - The first exhibition game allowed Coach Tryg Mamchur to «2xperiment with some line changes, and for the team to practice good passing. The Hewitt & Company Bruins opened the 1st period with 3 goals .scored by 3 different lines. Mark Cassibo scor«ed the opener unassisted, followed by Martin Nicola, assist by Darscy Benson, and the 3rd goal of the first period was put in by Matt Keith, assist David Mamchur and Martin Nicola.

Port Coquidam - 2nd league game of the week was against a strong PoCo team playing on our home ice. The Hewitt & Company Bruins play is getting more consistent, as they played a good passing game against PoCo. Aman Sivia opened the scoring in the 1st period, assisted by Spencer Cording, against 2 for PoCo. The play was very even in the 2nd period with bom teams scoring 1 • apiece.

Tween A's shine on the big ice ALDERGROVE - The Horizon Hatchery Tween "A" "Chicks" had a rare Monday night game travelling to the new South Surrey rink in White Rock. Looking across the expanse of this beautiful facility was enough to make one wonder if the girls could cov<?r it in their normal fashion. Desiree opened the scoring as she converted a pass from Sherie as the Aldergrove girls went up 1-0. The "Chicks" kept up the pressure and two minutes later it was Heather on a set up from Petra making it 2-0. Surrey batded hard but 7 minutes later it was Heather again on a set up from Shsslly and Sheri making it 3-0. Surrey kept pushing and finally beat Shannon in. the Aldergrove net to make it 3-1, but with just seconds remaining in the first it was Sheri from Shelly and Heather putting Aldergrove in front 4-1. The second period started better for Surrey as they put lots Warriors trap Jaguars ALDERGROVE - The Aberdeen Warriors continue to have a winning season, as once more they walked away with the game last Saturday.

They will be available at the dinner and at Aldergrove Centre Mall and Otter Co-op on December 5 and 12. Merry Christmas to everyone and thank you to all our supporters of this past year. It's the beginning of the busy season of pressure on the Aldergrove defence and beat Shannon with two quisdc goals to make it 4-3 Aldergrove in front. Sheri was quick to respond for the locals as a picture perfect three 'way passing play from Shelly to Heather to Sheri made it 5-3. Surrey once again tried to come.back as they put one more past Shannon but their spirits were dampened as Heather, assisted by Willow and Erin blasted two in less than a minute to make it 7-4. With Aldergrove skating hard and wearing down the Surrey gills it was once again Heathssr, putting in her fifth of the evening on a nice set up from Sheri and Shelly to round out the scoring 8-4, favour, Aldergrove. This was a good test for the local girls, as Surrey would not quit and will be in the running at the seasons end. As the parents would say later, it was a great game to watch, enjoyed by all.

DECEMBER 3. 1992 ELY'S BACK IN FORM "I keep my fingernails long so they click when I play the piano! j» BY KURT LANGMANN VANCOUVER - Joe Ely is one difficult person to categorize. Is he rock, country or pure rhythm and blues? The jury's out, and has been since he started out playing in Texas roadhouses back in the '60s with Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock. It looked as though he might escape the no-man's-land of pop categorization in the late 70s, when punkers, the Clash took a shine to his style and brought Ely back to England with them for a .concert tour that also included Carlene Carter (then married to Nick Lowe). That wild music was captured on a live disc, but it, like the studio album before it, "Musta Notta Gotta Lotta (Sleep Last Night)" just didn't fit any radio station programmer's preconceived notions. MCA •Records gave it a good shot, but both discs were "too country"' for the rock stations and "too rock" for the country stations, and the R&B stations were still hooked on disco. The situation was not unlike that of Steve Earle, who finally broke through in the mid-'80s with "Guitar Town," again on MCA Records. It was a period when country music really opened up to singfer-songwriters who didn't formerly find much acceptance in Nashville, and the result was that the public discovered the likes of Lyle Lovett, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Lucinda Williams and other originals. Ely recorded for Edmonton's Stony Plain Records for a couple years (a video for one of the songs was recorded at Vancouver's Town Pump), but he's now back with MCA and he played the Town Pump again last Thursday night on a tour promoting his new "Love and Danger" album. It was a master performance, one of those that I'll file away in my mind as a yardstick for other performers to measure up to. j How hot was it' Ely and his four pieces got on stage just before midnight, and for just under two hours the talents shone and the sweat poured freely. With a rock-solid, bottom rhythm section (bass and drums) that could have easily sat in with the Rolling Stones, a keyboardist who pounded the keys like Jerry Lee Lewis (Reese Wynans, for- Joe Ely merly with Stevie Ray Vaughan), a guitarist who had Freddie King's blues style down to a T (Austin's 24-year-old Ian Moore), and, of course, Ely working the stage like a James Brown or Springsteen, this was an all-out, in-your-face, over-the-top workout. Sure, there were some country tunes and they were wonderful, but the tone was somewhere beyond Austin city limits. Like Ely's song, "I Keep My Fingernails Long So They Click When I Play The Piano", the emphasis, at least for the club dates, is to party hearty and keep the syncopation clacking along like a runaway train. The crowd cheered for all the old favorites, such as the shuffle written by J.D. Gilmore called "Dallas", and Ely's originals like the raucous "Me And Billy The Kid (Just Never Got Along)", and the full-tilt "Road Hawg" and "Musta Notta Gotta Lotta." This is not to downplay Ely's skills as a wordsmith: all his lyrics are clever, and the fans who were moving to the beat also were grinning at his insightful turns of phrases. His ballads and slower tunes were much appreciated, even though they came across a little different from the album versions in the 460-seat club. Ely's one of those rare talents, and it was great to see him in an intimate atmosphere. After jflL why pay $40 or more to see (and vaguely hear) U2 at the other end of a huge cavern when you can still get up next to a guy like Ely for a mere $15?

"I believe her peaceful crusade against violence can, and will, make a difference. Indeed, in awakening the public, industry and government, it already has." Spicer said that since the Polytechnique massacre in Montreal three years ago, the CRTC has been working to play an effective role in responding to growing public demands for action. Specific steps being taken by the CRTC to deal with violence on television include: * Continuing pressure on broadcasters to develop a tough self-regulatory code with the goal of having it in place by late winter; such a code, if adopted, ■ would be closely monitored. * Discussions with the heads of specialty and pay-TV channels to explore industry initiatives against violence. * Financial support, within the CRTC's limited resources, is being given to an international colloquium on TV violence held in .Montreal recently and tentatively set for Toront February. one o in LEES V5 2431 CLEARBROOK RD 853-9192 V _^__^ Looking to the £ Fall Fair's future THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

The plan is part of the Green Zone Strategy, a key component of the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Creating Our Future program. The project partners are the B.C. Ministries of Forests and of Environment, Lands and Parks, and- the Greater Vancouver, Dewdney-Alouette, Fraser- Cheam, Squamish-Lillooet, and Central Fraser Valley Regional Districts. All are contributing to study costs. GVRD Parks will co-ordinate the first project which will inventory and assess existing outdoor recreation sites, facilities and services in the Lower Mainland. The second project will compile a first-ever, 30-year forecast on outdoor recreation trends and demand for parks and open space. An important component is an. in-depth survey of 3,000 households, scheduled for 1993. Results will be used by study participants to prepare each agency's long-term plans for outdoor recreation and major parks. The Rethink Group has been retained as prime consultant to co-ordinate the second project "Rapid growth in the Lower Mainland coupled with rising outdoor recreation popularity is driving the region's need for more large parks and outdoor recreation facilities," said Bob Bose, development services and transportation committee chak. "Moreover, an effective Creating Our Future growth management strategy must contain a strong pane and open space protection program."

Locals receive awards SURREY - Kwanden College presented scholarships and awards to 90 recipients at its annual scholarship, and awards ceremony held at the Richmond Inn, November 26. "Students face enormous challenges and obstacles while acquiring their education," college board member George Preston told the audience. "Fortunately, scholarships and awards are available to ease some of the financial burden. They lighten the load many students must endure." "Awards have another purpose, however. They recognize deserving students and their efforts, providing an important psychological and emotional lift as welt" The scholarships, awards and bursaries are given to students attending Kwanden College in recognition of academic excellence and other-criteria. Local recipients included: (Langley) Baykey, Dayle, Surrey Chapter of IODE Award; Bensch,.

"The project will help at-risk students make the transition from elementary to secondary school," said career education district administrator, Dave Scott. "The target group for the project is approximately 200 grade five, six, seven, and eight students." "We will be helping these students identify their interests and .potential and then give them job-shadowing opportunities so they can. both explore a career and see the importance of Valley wants new university LANGLEY - What do nine out of ten Fraser Valley high school students have in common? They'll never go to university. Valley students have one of the lowest university education levels in Canada. This is a matter of increasing concern for a growing number of valley residents. The low numbers are because universities in the Lower Mainland are already incredibly overloaded. None of these universities are geographically accessible by Fraser Valley students. Young adults in the Fraser Valley have a difficult time, gaining access to a university education. Adults who work have a more difficult time - even as our changing society demands higher education levels. Finally, at the present time, no concrete plan exists in these institutions or the Ministry of Advanced Education to address this need. For some time, various groups have promoted a university in the Fraser Valley to address those special needs of local students, but more valley residents need to become involved. A group of interested and concerned people met recently to discuss these issues. They formed a working committee - the Valley Citizens for Unviersity Education. This committee will be meeting in the coming months to establish a direction, formulate a working strategy, and to develop a wider relationship with other municipalities in the Fraser Valley. If you're concerned about the lack of access valley residents have to university education, and you'd like to get involved, contact Bruce Traub at 534-7484. staying in school." The project's manager is teacher Tim Everson. He will be assisted by teachers Kim Luteijn and Deanna Mah. Students will attend workshops on interest inventories, career exploration, life skills, and goal-setting. During a field trip to a large company they will discuss employer expectations with the company owner.' All students will also have at least one job-shadowing experience with a host employer. Those in the program for the second year will be encouraged to develop a mentoring relationship with their job host. Everson is looking forward to building on the success of last year's program. "The employers from last year are really excited about this year's project," he said. "One student who went to the aquarium last year got his scuba ticket in the summer. He's determined to be a marine biologist." Nine elementary schools and five secondary schools . are participating in the project. "We've found that there are way more kids than we can accommodate," said Everson. Student workshops began in November. The project ends March 31,1993- A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Staff recognition program launched Langley Memorial Hospital's reputation for being a facility that cares about its patients is the result of our employees dedication, enthusiasm and commitment to teamwork. A grass roots "Recognition Committee" made up of staff from various areas in the hospital was formed to develop a "Staff Member of the Month" program to recognize the contribution hospital and medical staff make in keeping our community hospital a "people place". "Our staff are very special people who constantiy go above and beyond the call of duty. To that end we are asking staff, patients and their families to submit to the Recognition Committee the names of staff they wish to see recognized," said committee member Helen Kirby, Director of Volunteer Services. The criteria for selection is: contributes to the hospital above and beyond normal expectations; responds positively and creatively to difficult requests; receives commendations from patients, residents, staff or visitors service, friendliness, attitude and/or enthusiasm; presents a good image of our hospital to the community. Special "selection" boxes for people to deposit the name of their candidates for' this award will be set up this week in the Main Lobby and in the Cedar Hill and Maple Hill Extended Care Units for the convenience of both staff and the public to say "You are Special". One of the ways the winner will be recognized will be to post their picture in the Main Lobby of the hospital for both staff and the public to see. The .+:+-*.+.t.*&&&J^SXJK.KfJZX33t2t3. first "Staff Member of the Month" will be selected in January. Christmas campaign hits mail Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation recendy launched its second annual Christmas Mail Campaign. The funds raised will help purchase equipment and furnishings for the Extended Care Unit scheduled to open this spring. Today, government funding pays for only one third of the hospital's capital equipment needs under $100,000. (Last year this list totalled approximately $900,000.) Donations help fund the remaining two-thirds of these capital equipment costs. The addition of this third Extended Care Unit will increase the number of extended care beds at Langley Memorial Hospital from 150 to 250 beds. This new facility has been designed to enhance the quality of life of its residents with a large central dining area, fireplace lounge, chapel, crafts area and separate physiotherapy centre. Individual rooms have large window areas taking advantage of landscaped views. lhe exterior patios will feature: wheelchair level planters for resident gardening. Improving the quality of life for our residents is also the focus of the staff and physicians. A team that includes dieticians, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, - occupational therapists and social workers assesses each resident upon admission and develops a plan to improve his or her daily life. The results .*:t:*~.tit.t:*.f.*~.tif~.r.e.\r~j'Jrs,jrr.fr. tJT.SV -.".TJT..7. are sometimes dramatic as some residents develop greater mobility, become more active and decrease their dependency on medications. Recreational equipment, special lifts, wheelchairs adapted to individual needs and other furnishings play an important role in the care provided by our team of professionals. . Community support of this year's Christmas Campaign will make a difference to the lives of our extended care residents. "A Gingerbread Man" tag has been included in the Christmas Mail package. Donors are asked to put either their name or the name of someone special on the "Gingerbread Man" and return it with their donation. All the tags will be displayed on the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation tree at the 1992 "Festival of Trees", an annual event put on by Newlands Golf and Country Club benefitting the hospital. For more information call the Foundation office at 533-6422. ♦ ♦ • • The second "Festival of Trees" was launched at Newland's Golf and Country Club. Among the companies that purchased trees with a $200 donation to Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation were: Sutton Realty, Ella's, Dueck Cobblestones, Deloite Touche, Bank of B.C/Hongkong, Royal LePage, Bay Tree Business and McDonald's Restaurants. These beautifully decorated trees will be on display in Newland's during the Christmas season and the public can cast their votes for their favourite tree with a $1 donation. All voters will be eligible to win a wonderful "Gingerbread " House" donated by Newland's. plpl THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 3. 1992 17 Hundreds help shape our future II BURNABY - Over 450 Lower Mainland residents, community group representatives, business people, politicians and environmentalists gathered at a one-day conference on the weekend to brainstorm on how to manage the Greater Vancouver region's future growth. It was the second major urban development conference sponsored by the greater Vancouver Regional District in six months.. The results will help the GVRD Board prepare development proposals to deal with the expected population increase of one million more people within 30 years. The population increase means 600,000 more homes, and may mean 70 percent more commuters on the region's already clogged roads. Through a series of round table discussions, conference delegates explored three possible options for managing growth. Participants rejected the Current Trends option, which has future growth spreading up the Fraser Valley corridor from North Surrey to Langley, Matsqui, Abbotsford and Chilliwack, placing significant development pressures on the region's agricultural heartland. The Fraser North Option shifts that same level growth onto the north side of the Fraser River, saving farmland but creating the need for significant transportation investment. Many conference delegates favoured the Compact Metropolitan Area Option, which protects farmland in the Eraser Valley and contains growth in existing urban areas and adjacent suburbs. Under this option, every municipality in the region would grow but the combined population of Surrey, White Rock, Coquidam, Burnaby and Vancouver would ■ almost double from about one to two million people. However, some conference participants felt the GVRD needs to explore other options to deal with urban development and transportation issues. In a survey carried out at the conference, participants listed concerns about air quality, preservation of green spaces and transit as very important considerations when managing the region's growth. Social issues such as affordable housing were rated as less important. GVRD chairperson .Gordon Campbell, conference chair, said the decisions facing Lower Mainland residents on how to handle future growth call for some tough choices. - i£^ "You can have anything you want, but you cant have everything you want," said Chairperson Campbell. "You can't say on one hand I want cleaner air, cleaner water, a protected agricultural land reserve, green spaces for parks and wilderness, but I don't want any change in my particular community or lifestyle." The conference was designed to give the GVRD board a flavor of what people think are acceptable urban growth options.

A Thought for the Up-coming Year The beautiful winter day was crisp, clear and calm. A cloudless blue sky accentuated the long white vapour trail from a jet airplane that could no longer be seen. • '^^~ Like the airplane, all of us leave our own trails that can bother or bless, infect or inspire. Every person has the power to make others happy. As the old one-liner goes, one does it simply by entering a room; another, by leaving the room. I have a friend who leaves a trail of enthusiasm. Hours after a telephone call from her I still feel great Another friend leaves a trail of optimism- After a few minutes talking to him, I feel better. He always makes my day. One friend enriches my day by always leaving a trail of kindness. A cheerful smile is his trademark. .. Some people leave trails of gloom; others trails of joy. Some leave trails of hate and bitterness; others, trails of love and harmony. Some leave trails of selfishness and unconcern; others trails of generosity and thoughtfulness. Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism; others, trails of resignation; others, trails of gratitude and hope. What kind of trails did you leave in 1992?

Claim costs drive up Autoplan rates for '93 VANCOUVER - ICBC will raise an additional 9-5 percent in total premium income to meet anticipated increases in claims costs next year. As a result, most passenger vehicle owners in BC will pay between $30 and $100 more for their automobile insurance in 1993- Percentage changes for individual motorists will vary depending on the coverages they choose and ~ their claims experience, however increases for three quarters of claim-free motorists will be less than ten percent. According to ICBC president Robyn Allan, the driving force behind rates is the combined impact of the number and cost of claims made by BC motorists. Allan said, "Projections earlier in the year indicated that a premium rise of 14 percent or greater might be required in 1993 if no new steps were taken to control costs. We found that prospect unacceptable — 'business as usual' was simply not an option." She said the news for BC's worst drivers will not be good. "For example drivers with two 'at-fault' claims in 1992 could face increases of 120 percent or more in 1993." Other major changes include higher minimum deductibles for collision and. comprehensive coverages. All changes are effective immediately for new policies and from January 1, 1993 on renewal of existing policies.

A wood fire may seem like a warm and relaxing escape from cold winter nights, but burning wood produces harmful air pollutants that threaten the air you breathe. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hot tips on clearing f the air of wood smoke VANCOUVER - As winter's chill grips British Columbia, you may look forward to cozy nights in front of a blazing fire. But the B.C. Lung Association (BCLA) warns that residential wood- burning can produce hazardous' interior and exterior air pollution. "Wood smoke contains more than 100 chemical compounds and three classes of harmful pollutants. They can affect judgment and reflexes, trigger headaches, cause lung and eye irritation and worsen respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis," says BCLA president John Borthwick ' "We can all help avoid these problems by limiting wood- burning and by using fireplaces and wood stoves to minimize the release of contaminants both inside and outside our homes," he says. To help clear the air, the association offers these "hot tips" for cleaner burning: • If you must heat with wood, use an efficient, new-technology . stove. Consider alternative fuels for home heating and natural gas for recreational burning. • Burn dry, clean wood. Firewood should be dried at least six to eight months before use. Unseasoned, damp wood fills the air with particulate matter and other pollutants. • Bum briskly the first 30 minutes. A hot fire will heat the stove up enough to bum the wood completely and cleanly. • Never bum garbage, trash or treated or painted wood. All of them produce harmful pollutants. • Do not burn on high- pollution days. Wait until air quality improves. . Hardest-hit by wood smoke pollution are areas with frequent inversions, especially valley locations like the Fraser Valley, Smithers and Cranbrook. During an inversion, warm air rises and forms a stable blanket that traps pollutants at or near ground level. For more information on residential woodburning, contact BCLA at 731-4961, toll-free outside the Lower Mainland at 1- 80O665-LUNG. A U-CUT PREMIUM OUALITY CONCOLOUR up to 12 ft.

DECEMBER 3. 1992 ASK ANNABELLE Dear Readers, In my column last week I printed a recipe for Chocolate truffles. In that recipe I had written 1/4 cup of sifted icing sugar. It should have read 1 1/4 cups of sifted icing sugar. So if you tried the recipe and were left with something that looks like ice cream topping, simply mix • in one more cup of icing sugar. Mea culpa, mea culpa. Dear Annabelle, My sister and-1 used to go to church together every Sunday. Then suddenly she started coming by -herself and sitting right at the back of the church. When I would look bade she was no where to be seen and yet when the service was over she was waiting to leave too. One Sunday, just at the start of the service I caught her leaving. I hurried after her just in time to see her enter a man's car in the parking lot. An hour later, at the end of the service, there she was standing at the back of the church. I told her I noticed she had left and she said she had been feeling ill. I left it at that but I know she is sneaking out with this man every Sunday. Should I ask her about it or just tell her husband? He does not attend service with us on Sundays. Signed: Annie. Dear Annie, What your sister is doing is not your business. Keep out of it! If your curiosity is really killing you, approach your sister with what you have seen. She may need a friend right now to talk to. But on no account go to her husband. Remember what Hesiod said in 700 B.C. -"Gossip is mischievous, light and easy to raise, but grievous to bear and hard to get rid of..." Dear Annabelle, The-other day, whilst walking with my dog, Hitler, I chanced to drop in at the Fox & Hounds pub for a refreshing pot of nut brown ale. I was sitting there, minding my own business and ruminating on the woes of the world, when a stranger approached my table. "Good morrow, kind sir," he said. "I shall tell you a most interesting story. I once met the Panchen Lama of Tibet in the cocktail lounge of the Astor Hotel in Hong Kong. He was wearing a bowler hat. Most of my friends disbelieve." Then, in a puff of smoke, the stranger was gone! Do you think he was telling the truth, Lama- wise? Anyway, tt cost me a whisky-and -splash! What do you think? Yrsfthfly, Brigadier Hugo (Huge) Wallop (ReL) Tottering Towers, Lower Milner. Dear Huge, So delightful to hear from you again Now go away and get yourself into a good program for alcohol abuse.

MATSQUI - Mike Harcourt joined a lively group of friends and neighbours who gathered at the Village Square restaurant on November 26 to honour Sarah MacKinnon's enduring contribution to socialist causes. A standing room only crowd enjoyed a wonderful meal and an opportunity to have their picture taken with Sarah and Premier Mike. Born in Ontario in 1917 to staunchly Conservative parents, Sarah, came to British Columbia in 1937- She worked in the laundry at St. Paul's Hospital and advanced to nursing unit clerk while raising a family of four. Sarah joined the CCF in Vancouver East and moved to Vancouver Centre in the early '60s where she was elected to the constituency executive, first as secretary and then as organizer. She was responsible for opening and staffing the first community CCF office in the West End and was also active in the provincial section of the party. Harcourt presented Sarah with a gift from the NDP community 'and noted that he, among many others, learned how to campaign from Sarah MacKinnon. Her campaign credits read, like a history of the CCF and NDP. Sarah worked in many by- elections, travelling to Nakusp to help Bill King and to Nanaimo to campaign for Tommy Douglas. Sarah remembers Harcourt when he ran a store front law office in Vancouver Centre. Sarah MacKinnon moved to the Fraser Valley with her partner Bob Douglas, also an active NDP supporter, in 1972. She is retiring as an active volunteer in the local Montrose Street NDP office but will undoubtedly return to lend her able assistance during the next provincial campaign. Among those present were Edith Gagnon, Sarah's long time associate. The event, organized by Doreen Derkach with help from Helen Witt and Joy Marian, was sponsored by the Matsqui and Abbotsford NDP constituency associations. Outlawed hotline back in business SURREY - A banned 'white power1 phone line operated by the neo-Nazi Canadian Liberty Net has resumed operations.. "After another move, we are now back in business," the latest recorded message tells callers. The voice is believed to be that of Tony McAleer, the Vancouver man who originally operated the phone-in line from his Vancouver home. McAleer relocated to a Bellingham, Wash. phone number in March after the Canadian Human Rights Commission obtained a federal court order forbidding the Net from transmitting hate messages. That led to McAleer's contempt of court conviction in July, and the complete shutdown of the line. WALK-IN PROGRAM 7 DAYS A WEEK Sun. to Sat. Doors Open 11 a.m. Starts 11:30 - 6 p.m. Sat. & Sun.

Diane Kliewer, (right) from Seconds Count, was one of the 23 volunteer instructors at the event. Students ranged in age from 12 to 86, which shows that anyone can learn CPR. The course stressed the importance of recognizing someone who is experiencing a heart attack, and the skills involved in giving CPR to someone who has a cardiac arrest. Sponsors included the Canadian Red Cross, the federal government, Canada Trust Realty and organizer Karen Loveys. For information on courses available in future call the Red Cross, 525-6884.

TWELFTH OUT OF TOP 100 Mennonite Central highly rated charity m CLEARBROOK - Citing low administrative and fundraising costs, Money magazine has rated Mennonite Central Committee iaJ;.on its list of the top 100 charities. The rating, which appears in the December ' issue of the magazine, ranks agencies in order of efficiency - the percentage of donations which is used for program, versus that which is used for administration and fundraising. Last year MCC's administrative costs were 7.9 percent and its fundraising costs were 1.1 percent. fi tjNMntt* wv rag? It's §1 3 Moving World! Jj And we are here to serve its moving population. If you are new to our community, call the Welcome Wagon hostess. Call Remy - 856-2711 (Answering service - 530-6009) S'NCt 1930 t_J '01 According to Daniel Zehr, executive director of MCC in Canada, the reason the agency ranks so high is that over two- thirds <^^ii|fe's almost 1,000 workers are full-time volunteers - people who "serve for between one to five years without receiving a salary - and because . MCC "is supported by a generous and committed constituency of Mennonite and Brethren in Christ church members in Canada and the U.S." As a result, he says, "we do not have to spend a lot of money to raise funds - we know from year to year that we can count on people to respond to the needs of others around the world." "We are committed to using money as efficiently as possible," says Zehr, adding that MCC cannot expect to be number one on the list because of the number of personnel it has in service assignments around the world. "Agencies which have very low overheads usually have very few people on location and ship large quantities of material aid." "People are central to MCC's work," Zehr says. "We are a people-to-people organization, not just a food relief agency. We want to work with people in other countries so we can also receive and learn from them" MCC volunteers have all their expenses, such as food, room, medical and travel, provided for. As well, they receive a small allowance each month. Last year MCC was 14th on the Money magazine's list; one reason for the higher ranking is that the agency has sent more material and food aid overseas this year than in 1991. By year end MCC estimates that it will have provided around 27,000 metric tonnes of food, valued at $13-2-million. Last year the agency sent 20,000 MT of food aid, valued at $9.1-million. JpS . Last year MCC received a total of $38.1-million in cash and resources such as grain and material assistance from North American donors. Of that total, $l4.7-millk>n came from Canada in the form of contributions of cash, food and material resources, income from the sale of Selfhelp Crafts and grants from the Canadian and provincial governments. MCC is the relief and development arm of the North American Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches. It was founded in 1920 in response to famine needs in the former Soviet Union. There are over 900 workers, including 447 Canadians, in service with MCC in 55 countries around the world, including the U.S. and Canada. - IT PAYS TO SUBSCRIBE The Aldergrove Star DELIVERED WITH YOUR MAIL EVERYTHURSDAY, THE ALDERGROVE STAR WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST OF WHATS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

DECEMBER 3. 1992 Women meet for fellowship 23 By JOAN HOOGENBOOM LANGLEY - On November 18, at the- Woodshed Restaurant, approximately 30 women enjoyed the Langley Women's Aglow Fellowship as the speaker, Charlotte Baker, spoke about peace. Taking her subject from Job 22:21 in the Bible, which reads, "Acquaint thou thyself with Him and be at Peace", Charlotte emphasized how we could appropriate inner peace through Jesus. Supported by many scriptures she expounded on three points: Peace by recon- Marg bad as butter NEW YORK - Margarine can be just as deadly to the heart as butter, an American government study has concluded. In another giddy spin of expert advice on healthy eating, the US Department of Agriculture says that the soya and corn oils which replaced the-jpld heart attack inducers of palm and coconut oil, butter and lard, have much the same effect of raising the cholesterol level. ciliation to Jesus; Peace by relationship, with, Jesus; and Peace by the authority of Jesus' name. Charlotte went on to explain that God is a God of peace who rules in peace and we can have this peace that He will give to us freely. Peace is a blessing from God and used as a benediction • throughout the Bible. We can obtain peace by believing in the prince of peace, Jesus. Peace is not the absence of action but the absence of reaction. Jesus always responded in peace. As the Christmas season draws near let us be challenged to maintain a peaceful heart for Jesus said "My peace I give unto you." WAF is an organization of Christian Women who enjoy praising God.

DECEMBER 3. 1992 Your voice ... By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK How would you feel if the British Monarchy was abolished? Debbie Ternan: I think it would probably be better. They're kind of obsolete for their time ' and they're not really necessary. They're kind of nice, though. Christal Brady: If it went away, there would be less taxes in Britain. Plus, we put a lot. of money in for the Queen. I find it very unreal, why can't we just go on our own? I'm doing the American Revolution in school right now, so I'm just thinking how they broke away, why couldn't Canada do that at the same time? Mike Reeve, 17: It would be a loss to Canada because they're part of our heritage, lhe British and the Queen have done a lot for Canada and have looked out for us in the past. They've basically got us to where we are right now so if we did lose it, I think it would be a great loss to Canada and other countries around the world. John Staudt: I wouldn't mind if they did. I think it's just a taxpayer waste of money. Why should they be tax free? It's not too bad, but we don't really need them. Ben Moore: I don't think it's right, the .institution is not bad. They re going through a very hard time at the present time, (but) I think the monarchy in Britain is an institution that should be kept. Don't change things for change itself. The children are human beings, the same as the rest of us are. Thunder Rollers 1341 single MON.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Court decisions running ahead of the will of the people Editor, The Star, Sk, In light of a recent Ontario Court ruling that the Canadian Human Rights Act be amended to make sexual orientation prohibited grounds for discrimination, a gay couple now seeks, the final sanction from the courts, namely that two people of the same sex in a "loving and caring relationship" should be declared married, at par with the traditional union between a man and a woman.' As this spectacle is played out before us, Canadian citizens stand helplessly by. I To quote Justice Minister Kim Campbell: "Realistically, the courts have got out ahead of us". Thanks to our enlightened Prime Minister Trudeau who, without any mandate, gave us Charter of Rights and Court Supremacy over Parliamentary Supremacy reflecting the will of the people. Every conceivable group can now circumvent the traditional manner - the ballot box - by which people expressed their preference for the moral, social, and economic direction of the. country. The courts, accountable to no one, now set the trend. Tlie gay couple seeking the same recognition as heterosexual couples are in fact seeking equal rights with traditional couples to adoption and foster parenting, immigration and pension benefits. And they will succeed, not because the majority of Canadians want them to, but because they will keep going back to the courts till they succeed. They will succeed because moral leadership is absent and- because democracy no longer exists in Canada. By making the Charter supreme and the courts the lawmakers insted of the law enforcers we sold our birthright and lost our ability to turn the tide. Let's get it back by revoking the Charter and by returning to a parliamentary democracy with proportional representation. ED VANWOUDENBERG, Surrey JM^ Hope unfounded, says Canadian research team TORONTO - Retailers' optimistic hopes for a strong last- minute Christmas shopping rush are proving to be unfounded, according to a Decima Research survey on Canadian consumers' shopping intentions. "Hie continuing hesitancy of shoppers is being felt by retailers now," says senior vice president Michael Sullivan, as the majority of consumers report that they intend to do their gift shopping in December. "Only a quarter of consumers report that they'll be waiting until the last week." Last minute shopping activity is crucial to retailers' fortunes this year, particularly in the context of the collective pessimism of consumers. Rental vacancy rate drops VANCOUVER - The vacancy rate in B.C's rental apartment and row market dropped to 1.8 percent from 2.8 percent six months ago according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Annual rent increases were moderate at below 3 pjflpent, however. "A seasonal decline usually occurs but this decline was also due to the very high level of in- migration," said Helmut Pastrick, regional economist Vancouver's vacancy rate dropped to 1.6 percent from 2.7 percent in April. Victoria's vacancy rate fell by a similar amount to 1.5 percent. The Okanagan region continued to have the lowest vacancy rates in the provin<pe. Vacancy rates went up in north-eastern B.C. and in some resource-dependent centres such as Kitimat and Powell River. In contrast to B.C., Canada's metropolitan area vacancy rate rose. It went to 4.8 percent from 4.4 percent in April 1992. m COME mm WITH US! >c: ,ffl i THE COLD WEATHER HAS ARRIVED- 1 MOVE IN BEFORE CHRISTMASTj Bevan Lodge can immediately offer you a warm, homey, comfortable, safe environment in a "New generation-building" with 24 hr. care by friendly, understanding professional staff.

WWM LETTER TO THE EDITOR Stability is the goal, says minister THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 3. 1992 25 Editor, The Star, Sk, The labour code is designed to lead B.C. toward the long-term cooperation and. stability we need to secure investment in a tough global economy. That was the direction I gave last February to a panel of experts drawn from labour and management. They toured the province, studied approximately 500 submissions from both labour and management, and brought in recommendations for change, 98 percent of which were unanimous. The consultation process was the most extensive in the history of modern British Columbia labour legislation. The concerns of business, both large and small, were a vital part of that consultation process. < Recently, however, seven representatives of various sections of the business community asked for the entire process to be short-circuited. They objected to various provisions and asked for separate negotiations with government on these matters. As a government, we believe strongly that the process must be concluded the way it began - in the public forum with all parties contributing. At the end of the day, there must be a framework for more productive relationships between business and labour. The old ways of confrontation and division will only persuade investors to look elsewhere, so our number one priority has been to achieve fak and balanced legislation through an open and public process. Look at the facts and judge whether business concerns were met. The most common of the concerns related by business was that this government would allow industry-wide certification that would force all companies within a sector to operate under a single union agreement and thereby prevent businesses from negotiating distinct collective agreements. We carefully weighed the merits of this position and as a result this government has chosen not to proceed with sectoral certification. Business also expressed concerns about the protection of free speech. That concern is addressed in this new code and employers have the right to communicate with employees on matters respecting the operation of thek business. Business, both large and small, expressed concern with respect to expansion of picketing rights, and we chose to confine picketing in order to protect neutral thkd parties who are not involved in disputes. And because we are confining secondary picketing, we are banning the hiring of replacement workers. The violence associated with the hiring of replacement workers has no place in B.C. labour relations. Business has also stated its concern about the freedom to negotiate secondary boycotts. But secondary boycotts are nothing new for B.C labour law - these clauses in collective agreements existed in B.C. labour legislation prior to the introduction of Bill 19 in 1987. They are a valid part of the trade-offs which take place during collective bargaining. In addition, I have given assurances to the business community privately and through, debate in the legislature that these clauses will be monitored to prevent any unintended consequences. Business has registered its concern about the end of balloting in certification drives. Based on the panel's unanimous recommendations, we have kept certification votes where there is only 45 to 55 percent support. Also, as part of the recommendations, we have eliminated the need for such a ballot when a clear majority of 55 percent is demonstrated. This will put British Columbia in line with the majority of other jurisdictions in Canada. There is now a joint consultation process built into every collective agreement to discuss such issues as workplace productivity. New measures to expedite arbitration will help reduce costs. The Labour Relations Board will now have an information officer in order to help the public as 'well as small and medium-sized businesses work through the initial complexities of the code. This should also, help reduce legal costs for these enterprises. But the bottom line is this - our future in the new global economy depends on a stable investment climate. We can achieve that through a /SlejH: strategic alliance of business and labour working together to build a more prosperous British Columbia. Tlie new labour code is fak and balanced, and in that respect, it is designed to help business and labour chart a new course for a more productive economy.

That operation .continues year- round, but its intensity increases during the Christmas Counter- Attack period from December 8' to January 3- Although these annual campaigns are making progress in blunting this crime wave, drinking drivers still represent an enormous cost to British Columbians in both human and financial.terms. Last year, 180 people were killed and nearly 5300 were injured in 6800- traffic crashes caused by drinking drivers. Repairing the damage done in those crashes cost the province's motorists about 21 cents of every premium dollar they paid to ICBC. Drinking drivers also cost the provincial economy more than $130-million each year for enforcement, court, medical services and other costs. One out of every five people in B.C. jails is there for drinking driving • offences. Subscribers to the ALDERGROVE STAR get value... NO CHARGE §!\.' .

Supreme Court has sentenced Matsqui scrap dealer Anthony Nisi to two years imprisonment for sexually assaulting several of his female employees. Nisi, 56, acted as his own counsel in the court case, and was convicted by a jury on six counts of aggravated sexual assault against four employees over a five year period. Nisi has previous convictions for sexual assault and assault, and will be subject to probation for three years after his release. Justice Douglas Hogarth also said that Nisi was incapable or unwilling "to face up to the fact that he has a problem. He is a sexual predator who used rude, overbearing and totally crude behavior... (and) came across as almost demanding an apology from his victims. Mr. Nisi himself obviously needs treatment." 'Vigorous' leadership VICTORIA - Reform Party leader Preston Manning said last week that overspending and overtaxation by the federal government will never be brought under control until there is "vigorous leadership by example at the top of £$ie;; government." Manning was in Victoria to address a Reform Party fund- raising dinner and spoke on the subject of "a new national agenda for Canada." He was commenting specifically on the announcement that the federal deficit for this fiscal year is expected to reach $35-billion. ® TOYOTATOWN A BETTER WAY TO BUY ANEW VEHICLE STOP BY AND SEE WHY!
