I? 1 MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO COME Game farm passes gov't, inspection ALDERGROVE - According to government officials (Ministry of Environment; Lands and Parks; Fish and Wildlife ) who investigated tlie Vancouver Game Farm after allegations of animal abuse were made, tlie animals at the farm are properly cared for. There were recommendations made by tlie ministry, however, and in a press release from the game farm, spokesperson Peter Jones has stated diat they will immediately implement the recommendations which deal with fence repairs, upgrading of en closures and improved record keeping. A report in tlie Vancouver Sun last month led to the investigation of tlie farm and its care of animals. There were claims made that fawns and bear cubs were being routinely killed to control population sizes. •Curator Don Adams has now admitted that he made a mistake, in saying that fallow fawns were being killed, and that he misunderstood the reporter's questions. Jones has said that the animals are treated humanely and there are plans under way to build sev eral new barns and habitats, make renovations to the animal clinic and build various new public facilities. He also said that the farm's new owners have spent over $2.5-million in repairs since they bought it three years ago and will spend a similar amount over the next diree years. Improvements made over the last tliree years include extensive new fencing, a new automatic drinking water supply system, expanded food storage and freezer capacity as well as some new barns and shelters.

Convict faces three more sex charges LANGLEY - A convicted sex killer has been ordered to stand trial on diree odier sex-related charges involving an underage female. Wayne Alexander Perkin, 45, will be tried on charges of indecency, gross indecency and sexual assault while a fourth charge, of having drugged his victim, was dismissed by provincial court judge D. I. Smyth. Perkin, a former resident of Langley, was found guilty last month of the 1992 murder of a 24-year-old Langley woman, Angela Richards. He was also charged last year in connection with attacks on a juvenile victim dating between March 1980 and March 1984. The young complainant was 11 years of age when the alleged assaults began. According to RCMP, the attacks occurred in various communities in die Fraser Valley. Smydi ordered a ban on publication of all evidence taken at die preliminary hearing, and a ban on disclosure of the identity of the victim. Organizers said this year's fair set new records in attendance, with 55,000 visitors over four days, and the largest cash receipts in its history. -Tim Attwood photo Hitchhiking teens attacked MATSQUI - Police have arrested a local man on charges of sexual assault of two teenage hitchhikers. Sgt. George Leukefeld said that just after midnight on Sunday, July 31, two young females were on Fraser Highway in Surrey trying to get a lift to die Freeway and then to Penticton. At diis time they were picked up by a lone male who offered to drive ^dlem as far as Abbolisford, and they accepted. One girl sat up front while the other slept in the rear. On leaving tlie freeway at tlie Clearbrook exit the suspect drove round for a while and then parked the vehicle on school grounds. A tlireat was then made to a 15 year old girl Uiat if she didn't do what she was told, she and her friend would be seriously hurt. A sexual assault then took place. At tlie conclusion of tlie afitr the driver left the vehicle and covered his rear number plate with a cloth. He then or- deredYboth girls from the'car and drove off. A patrolling Matsqui Police unit was suspicious on seeing a vehicle drive off leaving two young females by the side of the road. On stopping to check them, they told the officer of the assault. An investigation was immediately started involving patrol and G.I.S. units. At 12:06 p.m. on Sunday, July 31, a resident of Matsqui was arrested in Surrey on a sexual assault charge. He appeared at Matsqui Provincial Court on Tuesday, August 2. White "whips" Reform into shape Wayne Perking In 1986, Perkin was convicted of a sexual attack on a young jMdergrove single mother. The victim was hit on the head with a hammer and injected with co- cameYduring the assault. By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Fraser Valley West Reform MP Randy White, said that he is very happy with the changes being made within die Reform Party. He says that he likes tlie new structure, which is designed to improve die party's performance in Parliament's daily question period, and puts emphasis on 'critics' of ministers to find out about important issues and bring them to light. Reform leader Preston Manning has been criticised for his changes within the<,party, but White said that, although Manning appointed the critics, he did talk to the MPs before making any changes, and that there were four people on the committee diat designed the changes. "The changes are good," said White. "They will work in die best interest of the people we represent and don't represent (people in Liberal ridings.)" For White personally the changes are even better. He has idi& position often called Jugi,. 'Party Wrap,' which is a term he doesn't like. He says, instead that he is responsible for 'major government issues.' "It will allow me to represent our constituency even better," he said, "because I don't have to concentrate on one portfolio. I can deal with every issue that affects our community, whether it's immigration in dealing with Mendoza, or education in dying to get a university built out here." As for the criticism facing Manning, he says that it is because Manning isn't like other political leaders and that the media aren't use to it, that he gets ridiculed a lot. "He (Manning) is methodically managing the party like a business. It's well organized, well planned, and he leaves the shouting to people like me." MP.

GVRD housing starts up 14% in 1993, but Langley's statistics lead the pack LANGLEY - The new skateboard park, which has been in die planning since mid-April is finally a reality. Tlie park at 63 Avenue and 203 Street was officially opened widi a special ribbon 'breaking' ceremony last Wednesday night by elected officials, members of die commission, and die teens that helped make it all possible. The teens played a very vital role in the development of the park from its inception, to die opening ceremonies, and beyond. The teens made presentations to service clubs and two Rotary clubs have donated funds towards die building of die park. They also worked widi staff on die design of die park which lias curbs ramps, railings stairs, platforms and pyramids, making it far from ordinary. Artwork for the banner and all official documents was done by James Pedersson. Canada farm values down BURNABY - Housing starts in Greater Vancouver last year were up 14% over the year before, to 21,307. Significant increases were recorded in Vancouver, the University Endowment Lands, Port Coquitlam, Langley, White Rock and Richmond. Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, New Westminster, Coquidam and Burnaby recorded decreases. The figures include all forms including single family houses, condominiums, townhouses and apartments. Compiled by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, they substantiate overall construction figures for 1993 compiled by the GVRD's strategic planning department. Langley city housing starts were up 127 percent, from 1992's 220 to last year's 503, while Langley township's figures were up 20 percent, from 1992's 1,071 to last year's 1,289. OTTAWA - Research conduct- ed by the Farm Credit Corporation has shown Canadian farmland values declining by .3 percent nationally from July 1992 to July 1993. On average, farmland values dropped by .6 percent from July 1992 to January of 1993 and re covered with an increase of .3 percent from January to July of last year. The value of farmland increased provincially in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec while remaining constant in the Maritimes. Land values fell in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Seventy-six percent of diose polled for a Canadian Federation of Independent Business survey said diey were "very dissatisfied" with die provincial government's progress. A further 19 percent of those responding to the survey of 1,589 small and medium-sized businesses said they were "somewhat dissatisfied" with the government. "It has never been this negative," said thee federation's B.C. and Yukon director, Suromitra Sanatani. The CFIB has done the survey for several years. Taxation remained the principal complaint of businesses against the provincial government. But, for die first time, die Workers Compensation Board premiums emerged as the most hated form of taxation. Just over half those polled put the WCB payroll tax as the most harmful to dieir operations, with local property tax a close second. Sanatani gave two reasons for the WCB's climb in unpopularity: 20 percent increase in premiums over die past year ancl the extension of workers' compensation to 18,000 more businesses. Small Business Minister Bill Barlee wondered if there was a political motive behind the results. "B.C. has the best economic performance in North America. Only Utah, Oregon and Nevada are even close. So 1 have to wonder what they're really driving at," Barlee said. He said bond-rating agencies had given British Columbia the highest grade of any government in Canada. .. "Our bankruptcies are down 20 percent, exports are up $200- million oyer the first quarter of last year and retail sales are up 7.8 percent. A lot of provinces would give a lot to hit those levels," Barlee said.

He has appeared in provincial court on July 29. tice for purposes of selective lockout action only. "There are some situations in which service to member municipalities and the public cannot be delivered efficiently, economically or safely with the periodic and unpredictable disruptions caused by rotating strikes," said GVRD board chair Greg Halsey-Brandt. "We have no intention of imposing a hill lockout at this time. But if there are rotating strikes, management will have tlie discretion to selectively lock out." The VMREU is in a legal strike position and has been taking rotating strike action at tlie GVRD, the City of Vancouver and. the Vancouver Police Board. VMREU members are employed by the GVRD in a variety of clerical, technical and administrative positions. The parties have not met in negotiations since mid-May, but are scheduled .to resume negotiations this week. ——- ■__& »TME ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 3. 1994 Immigration policy a mess By NIGEL HANNAFORD PORT ALBERNI - One has to wonder whether Canada has an immigration policy any more. According to media reports, Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi is expected to grant a reprieve to thousands of failed refugee claimants from such places as Somalia, Haiti and China. In other words, they entered the country illegally, claimed refugee status, had their hearings, were judged not to be refugees but now get to stay anyway. I seem to recall diat some years ago, a rustbucket freighter hove to off Newfoundland's coast and set 150 people adrift in small boats. They later stumbled ashore and direw themselves upon the mercy of Canadian audiorities. They too got to stay, though die skipper of the ship was finally jailed. Every year, we get a report about now backed up the appeal procedure is; how people are held at the taxpayer's expense in hotels for months while their turn for review comes; how finally diey end up in the hearing and as often are the beneficiaries of some amnesty or anodier. Distressingly, we also get stories all too frequently - two in tlie last diree months - of people ordered deported who go on to commit crimes after they should have been deported. Now in tandem with this announcement, Marchi says he is also prepared to step up efforts to crack down on illegal immigrants who commit crimes. "W> will not blink," he says. All of diis conies as a bit of a surprise. 1 had assumed that people who were ordered deported left within 36 hours, having been taken straight from the hearing to die cells and dience to the airport. Evidently not. The Jamaican accused of murdering a Toronto policeman last mondi had been ordered out in 1991 • Tliree years later he was still going about, supporting himself, it is said, dirough selling drugs. His case is not unusual, according to the union representing immigration officers. Now we find diere were some ten thousand people waiting for a flight out. Not all or even many were criminals, perhaps. But what were they here for? Official Canadian immigration policy is aimed at doing two diings. One is to unite families. The other is to attract qualified people who are going to contribute to die general welfare, skilled tradesmen, entrepreneurs and so on. That may not suit everybody but it is clear, consistent and not untouched by common humanity Unofficial policy, however, is diat if you can get here, you can stay here. Never mind die rules. Don't bodier widi die immigration procedures, die interviews, die medicals, the points system. Never mind being able to speak French or even English for diat matter. Set foot on Canadian soil, invoke the Charter of Rights, and get a legal aid lawyer to fight for your 'right' to stay here. In die meantime, those people who try to immigrate dirough legal means get turned down. About five years ago, a young man widi an engineering degree and four years experience as an aeronautical engineer with Rolls Royce made a formal application from London. He had family sponsorship; he was my nephew. He had been here, made some contacts and even had a job offered, conditional upon getting landed immigrant status. . You guessed it; he was .declined. Didn't speak French and we had all die aeronautical engineers we needed. Such stories are not uncommon and it would be fair enough even so, if official policy was enforced. Plainly, however, it is not. Just how many Somalian peasants, Haitian and Chinese intellectuals do we have vacancies for? In my nephew's case, a solution to his problem may well present itself. Rejected by Canada, he was warmly welcomed by die Republic of Soudi Africa and should be able to represent himself in Canada as a genuine refugee in die not too distant future. It's obvious what die government's problem is. Apart from old-fashioned incompetence, it does not relish die TV images of all diose colored people being herded onto airplanes. There's just too many of diem. Widi today's racial sensibilities, it would be political suicide and would certainly cost the Liberals die many racially-mixed ridings of the metro-Toronto area. • Understanding dieir problem does not excuse tlieir solution to it, however, which is to cave in. The Canadian public, all those people who got here legitimately and dieir descendants, may reasonably expect diat the government will make law and enforce law. As for Marchi's earnest declaration diat criminals who are not here legally will be rounded up, I have only this to say: 'Show, not tell.' LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Seeking family Editor, The Star, Sir, I am seeking my birth family. I have exhausted all other avenues, so may I appeal to you, the reading public, for help. i am adopted - male - bom July 24, 1948 in Chilliwack. My mother was French Canadian, born in Quebec in 1921. She had two other children at die time of my birth (aged 4 and 5, gender unknown and from a different father). She lived in B.C. and Ontario in 1947 and then back to B.C. in February of 1948 to live with her older sister, who was a waitress, until I was born. Having been born in Chilliwack, I assume by birth mother's sister lived somewhere in the lower mainland. Could anyone give me any leads to my missing family? If so, I would be more than appreciative. Please write: Family, 8647 Ebor Terrace, Sidney, B.C.

LI LA COTTRILL Wp 1 I IM TAKING T0U6H MEASURES WITH YOUNG OFFENDERS! LIKE GIVING THEM TUE CHAIR! Base their pay on merit By DAVID SOMERVILLE About the only people in Canada who think MPs deserve a raise - outside die House of Commons - work at the accxxint- ing firm of Sobeco, Ernst & Young. (This company, of course, was commissioned by Ottawa). That firm recendy released a report on MPs' pay and pensions which recommended, among other diings, that MPs should receive a 37 percent pay raise. Prime Minister Jean Chretien quickly nixed the idea and no wonder. Canadian taxpayers, who are seeing their incomes ravaged by die recession, would be in no mood to see MPs padding their salaries. Of course, the problem is that when it comes to salaries, MPs are in a conflict of interest. After all, diey are die ones who set dieir own salaries and force us to pay them dirough taxes. A better way to compensate MPs would be to give diem a bonus based on dieir job performance. Why not give MPs a bonus only if the economy grows or die deficit falls? In other words, MPs would be forced to earn any extra money above dieir current salaries. The report did make a good recommendation on the question of MPs' pensions by rightly concluding diat diey were too generous and need to be cut. The report suggested diat the yearly rate at which MPs' pensions accumulate be reduced from five percent of an MP's best salary to two percent. That means that an MP retiring, after six years would receive a pension worth 12 percent of his income and not 30 percent as it is now. Tlie report also recommended diat MPs not collect full pensions until diey reach age 60. That would be an improvement over the current system whicli allows MPs to collect their pension benefits regardless of dieir age. Still a better idea would be that MPs not collect benefits until age 65- After, all, that's when die vast majority of Canadians can start collecting their benefits. Unfortunately, die report failed to recommend scrapping the unlimited protection against inflation which the MPs' pensions, re-, ceive. With this protectipiJa^IP.s^ never have to worry, about inflation destroying the value of dieir pensions. This puts MPs into an elite pension category and that's wrong. In short, while the Sobeco, Ernst & Young report was a step in die right direction, it failed to propose the bold reforms whicli are needed to make die MP compensation package acceptable to Canadian taxpayers. Simply put, MPs' pay and pensions should be rooted in the real world. Clark backs off VICTORIA - Jobs and investment minister Glen Clark has eased up on his sabre rattling against Alberta after that province's premier, Ralph Klein threatened a tourism boycott. British Columbia's New Democratic government started the spat with complaint that Alberta was dumping its welfare recipients on Victoria's door. Matters escalated further when Clark threatened to keep Alberta building contractors from bidding on over one billion dollars of public works he has promised in his 'BC 21' economic development program. But in the face of counter threats from Klein, Clark changed his tune. "We don't want to get into a slinging match and we are not interested in erecting trade barriers," he said. Klein had said he would cancel his annual fishing trip to B.C. and would urge other Albertans to follow suit if British Columbia put up trade barriers, he said Albertans spent $500-million annually on tourism in B.C. "I didn't start this silliness," he said. Others thought the B.C. government was being silly too. The Fraser Institute's John Robson said the NDP government appeared to believe that trade could only benefit one of the trading partners. "Everyone wins when you trade," he said. Robson said it would benefit British Columbians if Alberta companies won building contracts in B.C. "They'll be doing it for less than B.C. companies would and so that saves the taxpayers money that can be spent -elsewherejj-h^sakjij-.-jTiKr.-.-^- _- Same sex, strange game By LORNE ECKERSLEY CRESTON - I must have dozed off diere for a minute. The politically-correct language police, apparently unsatisfied widi the transition from homosexual to gay, have whipped diemselves into action and, before I even knew what was happening, have given us 'same-sex relationships.' That diis phrase has all tlie descriptive power of renaming hockey 'ice sport competitions', is irrelevant here. Once again, we have stood by while a serious issue has been obscured by our efforts not to offend. The serious issue. I have in mind is diat of, here we go again, same-sex benefits. This topic lias pushed to die back pages talk of interest rates, Serbs, Bosnians and Croats and even, for die moment at least, Faye Leung. Why, argue die same-sexers, can't we have the same work benefits as heterosexual, married couples? Tlie answer is obvious, diough apparendy not to diose fighting for change. Benefits extended dirough a worker to his spouse and family were granted as a recognition of the importance our society placed on tiie bearing and raising of children. We need children, we said in effect, and we're willing to help offset your costs in a number of ways. In order not to be too heavy- handed about it, we extended die benefits universally and did not make actual reproduction a requirement. Tlie days of simple explanations are long gone, however. Why shouldn't die spousal equivalent in a same-sex relationship receive benefits now extended to potential child-bearers? It could be argued once that die reason was simple. Bodi members in die same-sex relationship have exacdy die same opportunity to earn dieir benefits. Society has not asked diat one stay home and cany out its reproductive requirements. Today, with protections under die Constitution and all sorts of odier legal arguments at hand, we have taken the right to make rational decisions out of our own hands. We are not allowed to argue diat certain actions must be taken for die benefit of society as a whole. If even one individual takes offence, we now have to. sacrifice die common good. So what is the most likely outcome of the demand for same- sex benefits? Well, one doesn't need to be Preston Manning to realize that we cannot afford many of die benefits (especially those provided by governments) we currently enjoy. So radier dian all couples being extended die same economic advantages as married couples, everyone will receive fewer benefits. It will become even more difficult financially to jraise and maintain a traditional family. And diis comes at a time when we are trying to protect die traditional family from becoming yet r ancstjisjx-sjndan^re-djgecies.'

The uniforms are thanks to Mrs. Shona MacDonald as reward for making it this far. If the first games are any indication, the Aldergrove boys plan to take it much further, as they take first place B side in a clean sweep to advance to the semi-finals. The eight teams to make Provincials were divided into sides A and B, with each side playing round-robin. The two teams with the best record from each side advance to the semi-finals. Playing on side A are Mission, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and Sicamous. Side B has Aldergrove, West Richmond, Newton and Vernon. Aldergrove's first game was Saturday against Vernon with Jeff Herd as starting pitcher for Aldergrove. After a scoreless first inning Frank Cole started tilings off for jMdergrove in the second with a beautiful homerun hit sent far out over the right field fence to bring home runner Paul Daley before him. Then Jeff shut Vernon down on their bats to hold Aldergrove's 2-0 lead. The third inning brought in Vernon's first run but the fourth inning.was all Aldergrove's. Justin MacDonald hit a single and stole second, then Paul's double advanced Justin to third setting the field nicely for Frank's second homerun hit as he again sent the ball to deep right field. Justin took over the mound at the bottom of the fourth and shut Vernon down, taking, one at the plate and assisted by second baseman Mike Haber and Dallas Strelic on third each catching pop flies. Vernon picked up two more runs over the fifth and sixth innings and Aldergrove, held scoreless in the fifth, picked up two in the sixth as Justin and Mike Haber each hit singles and were brought in on a hit by Kevin Rochon. Aldergrove's eighth run came off Steve Fauth as he beat the throw to first running on a dropped third strike, then stole around the bases to home. Mike Haber, pitching the seventh inning saw three-up three-down to hold the score at 8-3, as Vernon was unable to beat the play to first on infield hits. Frank Cole was presented with his two homerun balls at the end of the game, dated and signed by the tournament director.

Jeff Herd, first on the mound for Aldergrove, faced only ten batters in his three innings pitched, allowing none a base hit or a base on balls. A lone runner made first on an error at the plate but got no further as the next up to bat sent the ball back to Jeff for an eacy throw to first for the third out. -. Wes Halliday, taking over the mound in the fourth, likewise Aldergrove's first run came in the second inning then another in the third as Justin and Matt Hennen both made base on balls and home on a steal. The score was held at 2-0 until the bottom of the sixth. Jeff made base on balls and stole second. Justin's single to second held Jeff on the bag. Both runners stole their next base then were hit home on a double by Paul Daley. Next up to bat, Wes Halliday hit a single to short - Paul hopped over it heading to third then made it home on fielder's choice as West Richmond tried for first. Wes beat the throw and a change of pitchers for West Richmond could not stop him as he stole second, made third on a wild pitch, and came home on a serif ice hit by Kevin Rochon. The inning ended 6-0. Frank Cole, new pitcher for Aldergrove in the seventh, had a single run come in. Aldergrove did not take their last bats as the game ended 6-1. Six out in this game can be attributed to the quick glove of shortstop, Steve Fauth, catching three flies - turning one into a double play as he sent the ball to first before the runner could get back - and snagging two grounders and beating the run to first.

They were not prepared to meet Justin, Mike H. and Frank. Justin, pitching the first three innings for Aldergrove, and backed up by some great defensive play in the field, shut them down completely. Aldergrove on the other hand picked up three quick runs in the first to take an early lead. After two scoreless innings the fourth brings a change of pitchers for each team, putting Mike Haber on the mound for Aldergrove. Mission gets their first break with one run coming.in. Then Aldergrove answers with one for themselves as Dallas Strelic comes in off a hit by Mike H. Mike hold Newton in the fifth inning. Paul Daley, first to bat for Aldergrove, gets a single and steals second, followed by a single by Wes Halliday to advance him the third. Wes makes second on a wild pitch. Then Frank Cole adds to his collection of souvenier homerun balls to bring in a triple. Newton hits a homerun off Mike H. in die sixth to bring in a double and Aldergrove does it the hard way as they chip away at the Newton defense to bring in four. Going into the seventh inning with the score at 11-3 for Aldergrove, Newton is desperate for runs. Frank Cole taking over the mound for Aldergrove allows only two to bring the score to 11-5- Aldergrove does not take last bats. ALDERGROVE 11 ALD. J.Herd W.Halliday F.Cole W.RICH.

However, now the school year has ended, and many of die ads are re-targeted to appeal to recent high school and college graduates. Warns Valerie MacLean, BBB general manager, "Typical ads promise high paying jobs in interesting or exotic foreign cities but claim little or no experience is necessary." Unlike legitimate employment firms that have permanent ad dresses, unscrupulous employment firms usually offer applicants only a phone number of mail drop address. Consumers who contact these operations are generally told there are immediate openings for whidi diey are perfecdy suited, regardless of dieir actual qualifications. However, to lock into the job, they are told, a placement fee must be paid in advance. Fees can range from $50 to several hundred dollars. More often than not, these firms actually have few or no contacts with employers and can offer only minimal assistance. Hauling dangerous cargo BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District has appointed a special 12-member committee to advise on the transportation of dangerous goods in the region. The group includes representatives from trucking, rail,.and marine services, chemical suppliers and manufacturers, and local governments. The committee will provide a forum for discussion and problem solving among key industries and local government and will act in an advisory capacity to die GVRD and federal and provincial ministries. Captain J.G. Houston of the Vancouver Port Corporation chairs the committee, and Frank Clegg of the Regional Emergency Planners Committee is die deputy chair. Odier members and dieir affiliation are: Brian Lockhart, Canadian Chemical Producers Association: Captain Allen Domaas, Fraser River Harbour Commission; George Colqhoun, North Fraser Harbour Commission; Captain W.H. Martin, Canadian Coast Guard; Rob Weston, B.C. Trucking Association; Neil Nyberg, Regional Engineers Advisory Committee; Paul Parnell, Regional Emergency Planners Committee; Jim Bird, Van Waters and Rogers Ltd.; Malcolm Ellis, Stanchem inc.; and Glen Parker, Canadian PeU'oleum Products Institute. Port Coquitlam Mayor Len Traboulay is the GVRD board's liaison to die advisoiy committee. The most a consumer might receive is a booklet widi lists of companies that may or may not have job openings. Job seekers should not be fooled by a firm's promise of a refund if no job materializes. Most of diese firms diat require payment in advance do not stay around long enough for dissatisfied customers to get money back. To avoid being taken by a fraudulent employment opportunity, job seekers should check out die company with die BBB before doing business with it and not be afraid to ask die salesperson questions about die offer. Applicants should request the name of employers and employees for whom the company has actually found jobs then check them out. They should make sure that all promises are put in writing before signing a contract It also is wise to check out foreign job offers with that country's consulate or embassy. Most foreign countries have strict regulations regarding a non-resident's eligibility to work.

The change from chloramine to chlorine is consistent with the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board's decision to rechlorinate water in all municipalities and is also in keeping with the public's opposition to chloramine, said a GVRD spokes person. The change will not affect water quality, however, some people may notice a slight change in the taste or odor of the water. Segments of Surrey began receiving an additional water treatment called secondary disinfection in 1988. Residents in Newton have been receiving extra chlorine trechlorination), while residents of Soudi Surrey have re ceived water treated with clilo- ramine. In June, the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board voted to further safeguard the drinking water supply dirough die installation of rechlorination stations and the construction of filtration plants. The GVRD will continue to use chlorine as a primary disinfectant at the source, however, ozonation and biological filtration will be pilot tested. Tlie pilot testing is in keeping widi a mission statement adopted by die Board at its June 29 meeting: "That the region continue to work towards a water treatment system diat enhances healdi and environmental well-being by minimizing chemical residuals, including consideration of the use of biological filtration or other future teclmologies."

Tora! Tora! Tora! Tora! Tora! actually means Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!... tlie code words tlie Japanese used on that fateful day in 1941 to Signal that the attack was to begin. And begin-it did, catching the U.S. Pacific Fleet essentially asleep at the wheel. The damage wrought on that day could have permanently disabled tlie U.S. war effort. However, tlie Japanese failed to follow up on their devastating action, and by neglecting to deal the deadi blow, they truly awakened the "Sleeping Giant", forever changing die thee of war and history. Tora! Tora! Tora!, widi Japanese fighters and bombers recreates die fateful day in history with a spectacular flying show, awesome pyrotechnics and realistic narration. This act is not a glorification of war, but a realistic look at one of die most significant events that occurred in modern history. It alone is worth die cost of admission, yet Airshow 94 is much more. In addition to die jet demonstration teams, diere are hundreds of aircraft on the ground, displaying the very latest and best in aviation technology. Static displays show everydiing from die newest military machines to die best diat is rolling off today's assembly lines in commercial and private, aircraft. There are helicopters, passenger jets, tiny private craft, ultralights, float planes, private jets, experimental aircraft and hot air balloons. If aeroplanes interest you, Abbotsford has something for everyone, and almost everydiing for someone. And while many people come out for the nimble and roar of die jets, there are many flying acts that still rely on tlie old "seat of the pants" and leather helmet type of pilot. Aerobatics has been, and always will be, a big part of the Abbotsford experience and this year is no exception. Tiny mono-planes are put dirough twists, turns and dives that would rip the wings off bigger craft, and bi-planes look like diey came from the time the Great Waldo Pepper and die barn- stonners that swept North America after The First World War, except diese litde craft are propelled by massive 650 lip engines. There are, in the tradition of the barnstormers, wing walkers, stunt flyers and Orue artistry in the air as smoke trails describe an aerial ballet. Abbotsford has become more than "just anodier airshow". It is a carnival, a family-based carnival, with great food (all sold on a controlled single-pricing system), unusual souvenir, kid's activity areas, "street entertainers" working dirough die crowds, a campground, and just about anydiing else you can diink of to make Abbotsford International Air Show a complete entertainment event for the whole family, at a reasonable cost. Admittance fee is only $40 for a carload of six, and that includes parking. Where else can you go for a full day's entertainment, with some of the world's most expensive "toys", for only $6.66 each? For diose who wish to walk in, or enter via one of the many special buses travelling to the show, it is $10 per person. The airshow gates open at 8 a.m. while the flying show begins at 11 a.m., allowing lots of time to tour die display aircraft, grab a sandwich and watch the crowd, or just generally lay back on a picnic blanket and enjoy die sun and scenery. Abbotsford Airport is a big place, and with so many aircraft on display, die diings to see are spread over a vast area, yet one does not need to wear out a pair of shoes trying to see everydiing. Free people movers, or passenger shutdes, operate all day long, carrying people from die parking lots to die front lines, from show centre to die furthest-most displays. Airshow organizers want everyone to see as much of the show as possible, without being worn out, and dius the free on- site shuttle service. Tickets are available at neighbourhood Safeway stores on the Lower Mainland, and at all Ticketmaster locations. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate on any of die three airshow days, but pre-sold ticket purchasers have priority access and egress, which means you beat the lineups both coming onto the airshow site, and leaving it after the show wraps us. However, things don't shut down tight as soon as the last act touches down. Airshow organizers recognize what a pain sitting in a traffic line-up can be, so static displays, concessions, refreshment areas and some entertainment continue well past die close of the flying show to allow people to take their time leaving. Tlie whole dieme • of Abbotsford International Airshow is to provide a complete entertainment package that people will not only enjoy, but remember as pleasant and well worthwhile long afterwards. Abbotsford Air Show is one of British Columbia's, and Canada's, premier events. Widi a huge showline, everyone gets a great seat widi some of the finest flying machines ever to part die skies. Set aside at least one day diis August 12, 13 or 14. For more information call 328-JETS, drop by your local Safeway or call Ticketmaster.

A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Preparing for the worst keeps us on our toes A bus carrying 35 senior citizens on a pleasure outing rolls down an embankment...fog on Highway 1 results in a 20-car pile-up...die anticipated earthquake finally hits...escaping gas in a high school affects dozens of teens. These scenarios, Qs^ether real or anticipated, are the situations hospitals, emergency crews, police, and odier service organizations must be able to respond to at a moment's notice. And being ready involves more than just hoping you can cope with whatever eventualities you face - being ready requires regular planning. "We don't just hope we can handle disasters - we plan for diem," explains Mrs. Catherine Kidd, Assistant Vice President at Langley Memorial Hospital. "Whedier we have a mock disaster trial complete widi 'actors' in leading roles, or what we call a table-top exercise, we regularly test our readiness to jump to action should a large number of patients arrive all at once at our hospital." Every BC hospital is required to have a "disaster plan". This document spells out everyone's role in handling a disaster and how to deal widi any of die difficulties which may result. "A disaster plan takes into account die fact diat die hospital itself may be a victim as well as a source of help" notes Mrs. Kidd. "We might be widiout power, water or odier services ourselves, and we must be prepared to stay in operation during such situations." To cope widi times where utilities might be unavailable, hospitals like LMH have emergency backup generators, which can provide power until normal service is restored. At the same time, hospitals would be on die high priority list for power repairs in die event of a disaster. To make sure all plans to handle potential disaster are current, and the people involved aware of dieir roles and responsibilities, a major review of LMH's disaster plan occurs at least once a year. Mrs. Kidd notes: "We only do a mode disaster about every two or diree years, because of die time and cost involved, but we do our table-top disaster exercise every year. This alerts us to any issues we must deal widi and what it takes to stay uprto-date widi our plans." Just as hospitals are only one of a number of organizations we will all look to for help in a disaster, so are hospitals only one of the agencies who stay prepared to respond. Many of our other community agencies - police, ambulance, fire department, transportation - also prepare, diemselves for die potential disasters whidi can strike unexpectedly.

AUGUST 3. 1994 Bengal cats bred to be gentle with a feral flair By COLIN McENROE GLASTONBURY, Conn. - Let's pick up King, a Bengal cat with a 'snow leopard' coat (dark spots against a smoky background). King doesn't feel quite right for a house cat. He's too heavy, about 16 pounds, and as he drapes himself over your arm, you sense a mass of meat and muscle that seems intended for more than playful encounters with balls of yarn. Karen Austin of Glastonbury, his owner, warns you that King enjoys petting so much that it usually causes him to drool, and a second or two later King's head lolls forward and some inner switch clicks into brain- lessness, as pit-pat the drops fall on your sneaker. Therein lies the amusing paradox of the Bengal, the breed that represents what's new in pussycats. They look a little bit like something you should approach with a whip and a chair. They act like they oozed out of a John Bradshaw selfhelp workshop, all sweetness and cuddles. "You can have a domestic cat that lives in your house and will purr and sleep in bed with you but looks like a wild cat," says Austin. The Bengal breed is only about 10 years old, the felicitous result of a lab experiment involving the Asian Leopard Cat, a somewhat obscure 10-pound wild forest feline from India, China, Korea and thereabouts. In the 1970s, a University of California geneticist used Asian leopard cats to study their natural resistance to feline leukemia. When his experiment ended, he had eight female animals left over, crosses between leopard cats and domestic shorthairs. He gave them to a breeder named Jean Mill, who now lives in Covina, Calif., 10 miles east of Los Angeles. The crosses were too close in temperament to the wild side of their parentage. "The first generation hybrids are very aloof, very skittish," says Mill. "They're not dangerous." Mill found a spotted domestic cat in a pound. On a trip to India, she saw another spotted domestic cat "running around the rhinoceros compound" in a zoo. "He was an orange cat with little spots all over him," recalls Mill. "He was so unusual, I asked (the zookeepers) to catch him for me." This involved shooting the cat with a tranquilizer gun, because hew was a stray and the only success in catching him belonged to one of the rhinos, who had previously stepped on his tail and broken it off. The pound cat 'Finally Found' and the Indian street urchin, 'Toby of Delhi', were bred with the lab cats, and the Bengal line began to form. In subsequent crossings, breeders began working in a spotted domestic breed called the Egyptian Mau. But, says Austin, because of the wild things in the gene pool, the breeders decided it would be a good idea to breed selectively for sweetness. They even made it a standard for show cats that "Bengals have no aggressive tendencies," which is not the case for standards in other breeds, she says. "In other breeds, if a cat blows up on a judge, that's okay," says Austin. There's a powerful incentive not to allow crabby Bengal cats to breed, because a top quality show cat, one that meets the standards, could sell for about $2,000. (Others are as cheap as $300). Mill says you don't have to get many generations away from the wild ancestors before sweetness becomes almost uniform. After years of breeding cats and studying their genetics, Mill says she has conduded that "two. i friendly cats produce friendly kittens." Austin owns eight Bengals, but with litters of kittens and scats leased or borrowed for breeding, she tends to have more Bengals around than you could shake a catnip mouse at, most of them in a tidy little cattery that she and her husband created out of a small barn behind their house. She also owns two Dobermans, a Jack Russell terrier and a schnauzer: None of those breeds has contributed much to detente in the dog-cat wars, but Austin's animals all get along, because, she speculates, the Bengals are very doggish. Many of them fetch and come when called by name. "They like to play in the water," Austin adds. ""Vfou go to take a shower, and it's not unusual for them to jump in and start playing in the water." Mill and Austin both estimate there are about 2,000 Bengals afoot in the U.S. They are recognized as a breed eligible for championship competition by most of the major cat associations in the country, says Austin, but no Bengal has ever won best in show. "We're the new kid on the block," she explains. A very "fair" value VANCOUVER - Tlie 1994 Pacific National Exhibition's Annual Fair promises to be British Columbia's best family entertainment value. This year, a family of four can still enjoy a full day of fun at die PNE for as litde as $19. or less. Children 12 and under are admitted free, while their parents pay only $9-50 each. Senior's admission is $4. and teens 13 to 18 pay $6. And now die PNE has introduced several money saving discounts to bring dieir fair's already low prices down even lower.

Institute of Technology: • Hire qualified professionals. It's cheaper in the long run, says Lick, and they'll do a better, longer-lasting job. • To spot a good professional paint job, look for sharp lines (where ceiling meets wall, for instance), even color and no brush marks. • Painted-over hinges, electrical outlets, screws and the like definitely indicate amateur work. Likewise even minor drips and splatters, which good professionals would never tolerate. • A good painting contractor will provide a written estimate spelling out details of the job: what preparation will be done, what paint will be used where and how long it will take. Pay only a small deposit up-front, the remainder when the job is done to your satisfaction. • Give contractors the brush- off if they want to be paid in advance so they can buy materials. If they don't have cash or credit for paint they probably don't have much of a reputation. hot dog & hamburger buns 49 < perpkg COUPON Limit 3 offer expires 08/07/94 1 mile south of the Lynden border Open 8 am-7:30pm Monday thru Saturday August Special 1 dozen jumbo eggs gallon milk whole $ 1.99 2% $1.84 1% $1.79 891 NO LIMIT Prices good thru August 14 1994 §§ice cream $1.59 1/2 gal Vanilla, French Vanilla, Peach Big Buy Bacon $1.09 lb. | Yami yogurt V2»ts3/$1.104b$1.15 © Copyright 1994 Edaleen Dairy. All Rights Reserved n Protect your children for a lifetime: teach them to be sun smart now SSI THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUSTS. 1994 15 One thing never changes aboutsum- mer - as the days grow longer and school is out, children and young people spend more time outdoors. It all adds up to hours in the sun every day. More than half of our lifetime exposure to the sun occurs before age 18. We want the best for our children. We want them to be out in the fresh air and sunshine. But the truth is that the sun is not as friendly as we have always liked to think. We know more now about the effects of the sun's ultra-violet (UV) rays and that the protective layer of ozone around the earth doesn't screen us from them as well as it did in the past. UV rays are especially harmful to the delicate skin of children. A bad sunburn in childhood can double the risk of developing skin cancer later in life. Statistics indicate that our kids stand a one in seven chance of getting skin cancer during their lifetime. There were more than 7,000 cases of skin cancer in B.C. last year. We also know that the effects of sun exposure damage are cumulative. Too much sun now can mean skin cancer, prematurely aged skin and cataracts later. Be sun smart Extra time in the sun calls for extra protection. We can make the sun safer for our children by helping them to become sun smart. The sun smart rules are: Shade, Cover and Screen. 1. Take shade in the mid-day sun Mid-day - between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. - is when the ultra-violet rays are the strongest and most harmful. It's hard to keep kids indoors on a sunny day. So, if they are playing outdoors they should be shaded. Trees and bushes offer natural shade. But there are many ways to create shaded areas. Large umbrellas can be stuck into the ground over a sandbox or simple canvas awnings attached to a fence or the side of the house for an outdoor "playroom". Protect children at the beach by a big umbrella or an opaque cloth thrown over supports to create a sunproof roof. Me and my shadow Teach your children the Shadow Game. If your child's shadow is shorter than they are it is telling them to come indoors or play under a shade. 2. Cover head, skin and eyes A hat is the first line of defense against UV rays. Keep children's hats handy beside the door. The hat can be pretty, funny or funky - as long as it does the job. It should have a brim of at least 7.5 cm (3 inches) that protects the nose, cheeks, ears and back of the neck. The fabric should be closely-woven so that no light comes through. Some straw hats are loosely woven and let UV rays through, and baseball-style caps don't protect cheeks, the back of the neck or ears. A child's delicate skin can burn very quickly. Long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide brimmed hats all offer protection from the sun's rays. The clothing should be lightweight and opaque - if you can see through the cloth, UV rays can get through. Remember that wet fabric becomes transparent and loses some of its ability to block out solar rays. The eyes of infants and young children are particularly susceptible to sun damage. Sunglasses should provide a minimum of 90 per cent protection from UV-A and 95 per cent protection from UV-B light and be big enough to completely cover the eyes. The glasses should lit well and be comfortable so that the child will keep them on. 3. Use sunscreen All children - in fact, everyone over the age of six months - should wear sunscreen when outdoors. A broad-spectrum sunscreen £ with a Sun Protection •. Factor (SPF) of 15 should be applied to all exposed skin at least 15 minutes before going out into the sun. Price is not always an indication of value in sunscreens - look for the Canadian Dermatology Association logo. Sunscreen comes in many different forms: gels, creams, lotions, sprays and sticks. A milky lotion that does not contain alcohol is easy to apply to young children and will not sting their eyes or skin. (However, sunscreen containing alcohol is better for oily or acne- prone skin.) Sunscreen sticks are good for lips and around eyes. Don't forget the ears, nose, tops of feet and backs of knees. Be generous when applying the sunscreen and reapply often and liberally, especially if the wearer is sweating or has been in water. Swimmers should use waterproof sunscreen and reapply it after 80 minutes. Always test a sunscreen before slathering it on your child. Apply a small amount of the sunscreen to your child's inner arm and don't wash the area for two days. If there is an adverse reaction, check with your doctor about ingredients to - avoid in a sunscreen. Be SPF smart No sunscreen offers complete protection from the sun's rays. The SPF of the sunscreen relates to the time it would take for skin to burn when wearing sunscreen compared to the time it would take to burn without the sunscreen. It is not a guarantee against sunburn. If your child's skin normally turns slightly pink after 15 minutes exposure to the sun, a sunscreen with SPF 15 will provide some protection for 225 minutes (15 x 15). You can not extend this time by applying a sunscreen with a higher SFP or by reapplying sunscreen after the 225 minutes. Use sunscreen as it is intended: not to increase sun exposure time but to increase protection dur- 9 ing periods of unavoidable sun exposure. Sunscreen can not provide the same protection as protective clothing. Sun smart for babies Doctors recommend that babies under one year should be kept out of direct sunlight. Sunscreen should never be used on infants under six months. Sun smart for life By teaching our children sun smart rules - Shade, Cover and Screen - we can help them safely enjoy their childhood summers in the fresh air and sunshine. And these rules can become habits that make them sun smart for life. Caring for flowering bulbs Spring and summer flowering bulbs require litde care. Spring bulbs are hardy plants that provide an early touch of color when few other plants are in bloom. Summer bulbs are grown for their flowers and foliage. You can use bulbs anywhere in your garden. Some are best when grouped in large masses of color. Many kinds can be scattered in lawns or planted among shrubs for groundcover. Some summer bulbs should be dug out before a frost, especially in northern areas. For a complete list of spring and summer flowering bulbs and more information on the scul- ture of each variety, see your local nursery centre. Meanwhile, here are some bulb gardening basics to keep in mind. When planting bulbs outdoors, follow die planting instructions that come widi die bulbs concerning planting depth. As a general rule, plant bulbs no deeper than three times die bulb's diameter. Plant bulbs upright. Press die soil firmly over diem to prevent air pockets underneath. \(&ter die bed thoroughly to help settle die bulbs in the soil. Be sure to plant bulbs at recommended distances apart because many of diem need to develop new offshoots. Leave the soil on these varieties: achimenes, begonia, canna, caladium, dahlia and ismene bulbs. Store these in clumps on a slightiy moistened layer of peat moss or sawdust in a cool place. Wash and separate them just before planting in the spring. Spread die washed bulbs in a shaded place to dry, dien store diem away from sunlight in a cool, dry place at 60 to 65 degrees F. Discard undersize or unhealthy bulbs. Be sure that air circulates around stored bulbs. Never store them more dian two or three layers high because deep piles generate heat and cause decay.

ACCORDING TO BUSINESS PROFS Accountants are dull no longer BURNABY - Accountants are dull no more...Contrary to the Monty Python character who chose the excitement of lion-taming over the 'boring' life of accounting, accountants are exceptionally experimental, creative, open to change and non-traditional, according to Simon Fraser University business professors Lois Etherington and Ron Davidson. Their recent study on Canadian public accountants and accounting students, using the 16-Personality Factors Test, spells it out. "The study shows that statistically, public accountants are more dominant than the average person, extremely enthusiastic, creative in their thinking and experimental, as opposed to being conservative; they don't feel bound by rules," says Etherington who, with Davidson, has embarked on a new study to look further at the differences between those who get hired and those who don't. "The truth is, there has been a big misconception that accoun tants are the epitome of dull, and that they are merely bookkeepers. That's not the case. They are information interpreters, and dealing with the public and creative problem-solving makes up the biggest part of their jobs." Etherington says she can predict who among her students will be the most desired by firms, before even seeing how well they do in class. But their future success is backed up in the classroom - SFU's accounting students have a reputation for doing well in exams - and accounting classes have as mu<ch lively discussion as any other class, says Etherington. Success is not gender-based - in fact, Davidson, who wrote a paper on women accountants, with University of Calgary professor Tom Dalby, shows they are even more assertive than men. Their studies were recendy pub- lished in the International Journal of Selection and Assessment, and Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal. Looking for a Fundraiser?

Practical moving tips for families By R\DDY BATEMAN There's no question diat, for some, a household move is a traumatic experience, fraught with every emotion from anger, fear and worry to frustration, aggravation and doubt. That need not-be die case, however, say the moving experts at Allied Van Lines, and to prove dieir point, they've compiled a terrific little book called "Guide to a Good Move" diat's just filled with simple, practical tips, hints and suggestions that can work wonders in soodiing tattered nerves and emotions, if diey're put into practice. It's available from any local Allied agent. Handily, the Allied people say that the. recommendations put forth in their book aren't just for people who move widi their organization. They'll work in any move situation, widi any mover. Here's just a few for you to diink about: You may not realize it, but if you're moving from one province to anodier (it's called an "iiiterprovinciaP move), it's likely that more than one agent will be involved in managing the process. First, diere's die agent you called to arrange die move; he's called "the booking agent". And then, there may be an "origin agent" who packs die move ancl a "hauling agent" who actually moves your goods to your new home city. And, sometimes there's an agent who is responsible for bringing your goods right to your front door, unpacking and removing the empty cartons, etc. This one's called "die destination agent". •While all these agents are usually part of die same national van line (you should always check on this for safety's sake), a lot of paperwork is involved. Conse- quendy, if you want to check on your move, or have a question related to its transport, always make sure you've written down die Shipment Registration Number for handy reference. It's the one common identification that will follow your belongings from your old front door, right to your new one. The number is found on your Bill of Lading, a copy of which is always left with the customer. If you're not moving everything you own to your new home, you might wish to store some of your belongings for a while. Allied's people suggest using the storage facilities of die company that's moving you, which leaves you with only one organization to deal with about any aspect of your relocation. But, they say, don't store anything with anyone without first giving die facilities a thorough personal check. Look for cleanliness, organization, security and all tlie odier details Uiat will make sure your property remains in pristine condition. It may sound over-simplistic, but if you're packing things yourself, put heavy items in smaller boxes, and lighter items in larger ones. No one wants to (or likely is able to) lift a washing macliine box frill of books! And if you can, make as many of die boxes the same size, or in groups of sizes. They're easier and quicker to handle and move, and can cut clown on your moving time and expense during bodi loading and unloading. Most professional movers can provide you with the kind of specialty cartons you need to self-pack for die greatest safety protection. Of course, always label everydiing clearly! Although it's unlikely, accidents do happen, and people's belongings are sometimes delayed in transit. To avoid unwelcome surprises, always make sure the van foreman (he's die man in charge of your move, and usually the one who drives the moving van from your old home to your new one) has a telephone number where you can l>e reached in both locations. It also makes sense to give him a second person to contact if you can't be reached. It's one thing to know your tnick broke clown on the highway, ancl your shipment will be six hours late; it's an entirely different story to be sitting there, six hours after die shipment was clue, and not knowing where it is! If you've got younger children, the Allied people suggest you have them label the cartons from their rooms, complete with their new address and (if you know it) their telephone number. It's an easy way to make them familiar with dieir new address before they get to dieir new home, and a sensible safety precaution. If adults can get confused finding their way around the new town or city, just imagine what young children can go through! TV's favorite handyman heads campaign against mega-stores VANCOUVER - "Tlie little guy fights back - widi a big stick." That's how die community-based 63-store Irly Bird building centre organization sees its new marketing assault against die "big box stores" moving into its market. The opening salvo in die organization's merchandising war is being fired by television's top do-it-yourselfer, Richard Karn, die actor who stars as die handyman on television's most popular sitcom. Karn appears in a multimedia campaign for Irly Bird, including television commercials, radio spots, newspaper ads and the organization's Home Improvement News flyer. There is also an extensive point-of-pur- chase program wliich includes life-size cut-outs of Karn diat greet customers at the door. "We want it to be known that Irly Bird is an important player in die new building supply retail order," says president Don Larsen. "Richard Karn is arguably die best-known face in the business, ancl we're enormously pleased that he's on our team. "He exemplifies die character and attributes of our dealers and staff perfectly," Larsen continues. "He's knowledgeable, approachable, good-natured and, in character, he is a credible source of advice - just like our staff. We feel Richard's recognition factor and perceived approachability allows our message to be heard in the face of die saturation media campaigns by die big box retailers." The independently-owned 31 year-old organization beat all other Canadian building supply retailers to die punch by signing Karn to an exclusive contract for British Columbia and die Yukon. Tlie campaign heralds Irly Bird's return to television adverr Using after an eight-year absence. Incredible bugs VANCOUVER - What's bugging you? A giant walking stick? A deadly scorpion? How about a purple bird-eating spider? These ancl odier incredible bugs from all over die world are coming to die Pacific National Exhibition, August 20 to September 5, as part of "Tlie Incredible World of Bugs." Created by one of Canada's best- known entomologists and television hosts, John Powers, and sponsored by Insecolo, diis unique show introduces you to some of die most fascinating bugs from around die world. Powers has been studying and collecting butterflies and insects for over 30 years. His display is die largest show of its kind in die world, featuring die giants, die unusual, die rare, the deadly and die beautiful. "Insects have existed longer than just about any odier creatures on earth, yet we know so litde about diem," notes PNE agriculture program coordinator Connie Duivenvoorden. "After John Powers guides you through The Incredible World of Bugs, diis will all change. Each exhibit specimen is a rare and incredible sight, a sight most Canadians will never have anodier opportunity to see. The display is particularly fascinating for children, who will enjoy filling out die trivia sheets as they tour the exhibit." In addition to the display, Powers will narrate a daily hour long slide show on The Incredible World of Bugs as well as a half-hour video presentation on die Monarch butterfly, one of ^tlie' most beautiful creatures you will ever see. All diis, along widi odier displays about "The Nature of Our Future." will be located in die Pacific Showcase building. The organization has purchased a 52-week contract on the Home Improvement sitcom, including opening and closing billboards and one commercial break; die campaign is on air now. "Home Improvement not only relates directly and humorously to our customers, but it was also ranked as die number one show in British Columbia in the spring BBM," says Al Munro, general manager, Irly Distributors. "It's die perfect vehicle for our campaign." The television commercials were filmed in Vancouver in May; during a break in filming Karn met company officials, dealers and suppliers at the AGM barbecue. Irly Bird stores are. located diroughout B.C. and die Yukon. Tlie name is an acronym for Independent Retail Lumber Yards. KIDSmart battles death VANCOUVER - It's not what you think. It's not cancer, diabetes or MS. Preventable injuries are the leading cause of death and injury among Canadian children - each year 40,000 kids are hospitalized and 900 die. Education is the only cure. On Nov. 18, the Red Cross Society, together with corporate partner Overwaitea/Save-On- Foods launched KIDsmart: a comprehensive guide to over 20 programs designed to help put an end to preventable injuries among young people. "From drowning and choking to family violence and sexual abuse, kids are increasingly falling victims to injuries that can and should be prevented," explains Jan Engemeon, Commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross Society in B.C. "KIDsmart will put them in touch with the right programs and information they need to stay safe and healthy.

AUGUST 3. 1994 17 Corporate lawyer is out of the boardroom IANGLEY - One of die province's top corporate lawyers, a Queen's counsel and past president of die B.C. brandi of die Canadian Bar Association, Vancouver resident Ted Horsey left law to get "back to die land" - and he's having die time of his life. Horsey is enrolled in Kwanden College's two-year Horticulture Technology program, located at die B.C. Horticulture Centre in Langley. It's a long way from the boardrooms of downtown Vancouver, but Horsey is relishing die opportunity Kwanden has given him to turn his passion for gardening into a second career. "At 60, I reached an age where I felt I'd done most of what I wanted to do in die practice of law," says Horsey of his decision to leave law for horticulture. "I diouglit it was now or never if I wanted to do somediing else." It was natural diat Horsey considered horticulture as a second career since, as he says, "I've gardened every spare minute of my time since I first had a garden." Horsey first considered die idea of "going professional" with his gardening skills after studying for one semester at a horticulture school in California during a four-month sabbatical holiday from his law firm. He enjoyed the experience so much he decided to retire from law and began researching colleges. Though he considered horticulture programs and toured schools in England, California and New York State, he decided on Kwanden. Studying at Kwanden gave him the opportunity to work with plants and trees in his home area, and he found Kwanden had top-notch instruc- Making the most of new technology When laparoscopic surgery was first introduced at Langley Memorial Hospital, it was primarily used for removing a patient's gall bladder - a procedure referred to as cholecystectomy. This approach resulted in a much shorter convalescent time and significantly less discomfort to the patient. It is dierefore not surprising diat other laparoscopic procedures are continually being developed. "About a year after we started doing laparoscopic cholecystectomies, we started doing hernia repairs widi die laparoscopic equipment" notes Dr. Don Shirley, Chief of Surgery at LMH. "Traditional herniorrhaphy requires diat an incision by made in the groin and die weakness in the abdominal wall muscles repaired widi sutures. Sometimes reinforcement of the repair with a syndietic patch is necessary. Most of diese patients have pain and stiffness at die incision site for a few days and are restricted from doing any heavy lifting or vigorous activity for about 6 weeks. Widi laparoscopic herniorrhaphy, instruments and a telescope attached to a video screen are introduced into die abdomen dirough small incisions and the weakened area in die abdominal wall viewed from die inside. A syndietic patch is dien placed over diis defect and fixed in position with staples. Since this type of repair avoids a groin incision diere is less discomfort to the patient. Most paUents can also return to normal activities sooner because of die security provided by die synthetic patch." Dr. Shirley, however, adds a note of caution. "Laparoscopic hernia repair is not suitable for everyone and at die present time only hernias in die groin are being done diis way. Very large hernias are much more difficult to repair by diis mediod and are better done by die traditional ap- proadi. Also, some elderly patients are unable to tolerate a general anaesdietic (whicli is required for a laparoscopic repair) and should, dierefore, have die traditional hernia repair carried out under a spinal or local anaesdietic." "Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy has only been available in North America for about 3 or 4 years and die long recurrence rate is still unknown. The short term recurrence rate dius far however is comparable to die traditional repair." Manny de la Cruz, a registered nurse who works closely with the surgical team comments-. "This program is doing really well, and ,our patients quickly recognize die value of diis new procedure. One patient after their hernia repair commented on how quickly he returned, to work, while anodier appreciated how litde pain was involved widi die procedure." About 75 patients each year have dieir hernias repaired at LMH iin diis way - 75 patients whose surgery, pain and recovery would be a lot more difficult without die benefit of modern technology. FINANCIAL ADVISOR MU1UA1FUNI tors and facilities. From the different program options available, Horsey chose landscape design, installation and maintenance. The Horticulture Technology program at the college offers.students a choice of four specialties: Landscape Design, Installation and Maintenance; Turf Management; Greenhouse Management; and Garden Centre/Nursery Management. The last specialty was added for the 1994-95 academic year because of the dramatic growth in the nursery industry, notes Dieter Thomas, Kwanden's director of horticulture. "Gardening is the number one hobby in North America," says Thomas. "To answer the multitude of questions from these avid gardeners, nurseries have to ensure diey have qualified personnel on hand. Certified horticulturists can not only find work locally, but are employable around the world." Widi die most comprehensive' post-secondary horticulture program in B.C., Kwanden is well equipped to train the professionals needed by a growing industry. Tlie B.C. Horticulture Centre is a 20-acre site which features a state-of-the-art glasshouse, a range of polyhouses, a nursery and teaching facilities comprised of classrooms and labs. The installation of a demonstration golf course is currently underway. Many of the horticulture program's students fall into die "mature student" category (most are in dieir 20s and 30s), and like Horsey, bring a high level of commitment and enthusiasm to dieir studies. "I diink it is absolutely fantastic," says Horsey about die Kwantlen program. "It is one of die most enjoyable years I've spent in my life." Horsey enjoys the informality of the program (calling his instructors by dieir first names is definitely a departure from law school days) and has thrived on class projects like building a stone wall and digging gardens. He calls his fellow students "supportive and helpful" in sharing knowledge and helping each odier with assignments. After he receives his diploma, Horsey intends to work in horticulture for a year and see where it leads him. In die meantime, he's completing a summer practicum at a local garden centre, putting his 'increased expertise to use. , For more information about Kwanden College horticulture programs, call the Admissions Office at 599-3215.

Nearly 900 voting members and several hundred non-voting members reaffirmed die decision made nearly two years ago to implement a new on-line computer system diat gives member realtors new capabilities - among (hem, die ability for computer access to colour pictures of the listed properties for sale on die Multiple Listing system. The FVREB switched over to Stellar III on May 31. Prior to diat, die board used an earlier version of die Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver's Vindat System that could only access database text. The meeting was called in accordance with die Board's bylaws and widi die B.C. Societies Act, in response to a petition signed by at least 10 per cent of die membership, which now stands at 3,200. Even diough 94 per cent of the members had participated in computer training preceding the cut-over to die new system, many members have been frustrated widi die break- ing-in bugs and die learning curve required to perform Stellar Ill's functions. Some members wanted to re-implement die Board's previous system in a modified manner and nin die two systems in parallel. The motion to run parallel systems was defeated, 343 to 572. "We've heard our members' concerns loud and clear," says board president Ruth Boulton. "Their frustration stems from some delays experienced in accessing information for dieir clients. Stellar III has phenomenal power and flexibility, but along with sophistication comes complexity, and learning Stellar lias been more difficult than we expected." She adds diat, "Previous experience widi odier real estate boards diat have adopted Stellar has told vis diat it would take six mondis for members to become comfortable widi it. Many of our members are already comfortable with it, and are providing better service to their clients." Prated your children for a lifetime: teach them to be sun smart now 1.

However, to get it off my chest might be enough for me. For years I have been trying to get my wife, (we have been married 46 years) to get interested in my hobby, gardening. Last Cliristmas I got her a book on plants and two pots of African violets. After all the years of nagging she somehow get interested. That was my downfall. Now she has all the rooms in tlie house filled with large and small pots, hanging baskets of ivy and such and large containers on the floor. She spends her spare time on them and when she isn't watering the damn things, she's at the garden shop buying even more. There is not a place in the house I can lay my glasses or hat that isn't covered with plants. They hang in my face when I'm in tlie bathroom, they try to grab me when I walk down the hall, they become entangled in my hair when I sit on my favourite chair and I swear they are trying to keep me in the house when I try to go outdoors. Annabelle, I have created a monster in my wife and now I am reaping the whirlwind. What can I do? Signed: Little House of Horrors. Dear House of Horrors, Well, you were so successful about getting her into plant growing, even after all those years, what about a new book this Christmas oil vegetable planting outdoors? You will enjoy the fresh veggies as long as you don't eat too much. Meanwhile, a little Round-Up poured quietly on some of the house plants may discourage your wife from her hobby when she discovers her green thumb has got up and gone. + * * Dear Annabelle, Here is a little poem I wrote for you because autumn is fast approaching and I think we all look forward to the changing colours of the leaves. The leaves are turning, The people are burning, The piles of leaves they rake. It's that time of year, When the air smells of beer, And I wonder, Who's baking a cake? Is it time to go in? To play games just to win A pile of chips like in Poker? Is it time to eat cake? Or go fish hi a lake? Sometimes my wife, I could choke her. So that's my nice poem, It's not much to go on, But I do like to sit here and write. So my wife should beware When I sit there and stare, 'Cause one day, who knows, I just might. Thanks for. reading and enjoying my poem Annabelle. You're a good egg. Just kidding about my wife. Signed: Sam tlie Poem Guy SELL IT FAST IN THE STAR!

AUGUST 3. 1994 Coalition looks at Ul reform OTIAWA - A coalition of nine major national business associations released a report on July 12 . entitled: "Canada's Unemployment Insurance Program: The Case for Reform", calling for a broad reform of the unemployment insurance program. Tlie report proposes a number of reforms designed to make the Ul program more responsive to current and future conditions, encourage flexibility in the labour market and reduce the costs to employers and employees. The report is significant in that, for the first time, an important group of the business community has come together to develop and endorse a broad set of fundamental principles for LU reform within the broader context of the current social security reform process. Tlie business coalition supports Minister of Human Resources Development, Lloyd Axworthy's repeated statements that the program is in need of reform and must provide a balance, between meeting the needs of the beneficiaries of LII and, at die same time, supporting the labour market and job creation. As stated in the report's conclusion, the underlying issue is job creation and the enhancement of Canadians' employabili- ty. The most important contribution that the proposed Ul reform can make is to produce significant cost savings for the program and premium reductions for employees and employers which in turn would be an incentive for hiring by the private sector. The reform must lead to the fundamental principle of an affordable, fiscally accountable Ul program that will help improve, and not hinder, the performance of the labour market and the economy.

AUGUST 3. 1994 Imagine Nation village fills up Kootenay car dealer VANCOUVER - An extraordinary 28-day multicultural event, die Imagine Nation '94 Village, is under way at Cultus Lake United Church camp in Chilliwack. Delegations of eleven year olds, each comprised of two girls, two boys and an adult leader have arrived from Austria, Japan, Luxembourg, Denmark, USA, Thailand, Germany, die Philippines, Great Britain, Jamaica and Saskatoon, Canada to participate in diis mondi-long, fun-filled effort to promote world peace and cross-cultural friendships dirough children. "Imagine Nation '94" has an adult staff of Canadians as well as junior counsellors from Japan, Honduras, Norway, Great Britain, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Fredricton, New Brunswick. Founded in 1952 by American psychologist Dr. Doris Allen, CISV is a non-profit, charitable organization affiliated with UNESCO diat today indudes over 95 member nations. Tlie goal of CISV is to promote peace and cross-cultural understanding through children. CISV programmes begin with eleven-year olds, because at eleven years of age, a child is mature enough to appreciate such a rich experience and unencumbered by barriers of firm prejudice against odier countries and cultures diat would otherwise bar dieir way to friendship and understanding. "The values of CISV are well- founded," asserts Victoria Miles, a former CISV delegate to Nagoya, Japan in die summer of 1978 and the founder of tlie Vancouver chapter of CISV. "Many of die children we will see this summer at Imagine Nation will not have a universal lifestyle, culture,' language or religion, some of their concepts about the world will vary widely and yet in getting to know each odier diey will all find plenty of common ground at Cultus Lake. It's enough diat they share Uiis life- stage of childhood in common; it will allow them to discover what diey share, beneadi die surface." Putting togedier a model of world peace is no easy task. Vancouver's Imagine Nation '94 has been coordinated and hosted entirely by the volunteer membership of Children's International Summer Villages Vancouver and sponsored by a variety of local businesses and families. "It's a priority to expand our membership, as well as our multi-cultural programmes to the Greater Vancouver community, which is i why we are welcoming tlie public to the Open Day on August 12. NXfe also want people to witness a real and heartwarming example of international peace in action," says Miles. "Every CISV Village makes an encouraging statement - that a peaceful world is possible - and individuals, communities and cmintries can exist with respect for all human beings, no matter how vast the divides between us may seem. Children seem to grasp this concept witii greater ease dian most adults do. It's really quite a marvel to see." COMPUTER SYSTEMS INC.

BG hydro polishes universal truths CRANBROOK - Some people really go the distance for their hobbies. Gert Degroot, a local auto dealer by day and amateur telescope maker by night, goes lightyears for his. Twenty-five years ago, the backyard astronomer wanted a better telescope than the one he could afford. So he built one. And then another, and then another. Now Degroot has his own 18- inch diameter telescope inside a homemade observatory in his backyard on the southern fringe of Cranbrook. It is powerful enough to show the moons of Jupiter, the polar icecaps of Mars and the Orion nebula - 2,000 lightyears from earth. "I'm more interested in telescope-making than astronomy, to be honest," Degroot says, shortly before donning a fur-lined parka and stepping into the unheated, spherical observatory. The unique structure has attracted such passersby as the two tourists who stopped by to investigate last summer and ended up staying into the night, "observing the sky." Degroot has seen the shadow of tiny moon Io crossing the surface of her parent planet, Jupiter, and the famous blotch in Jupiter's atmosphere known as the Red Spot. But, he says, it's the polishing of lenses and mirrors down to the millionth of an inch that fascinates him now. His latest telescope replaces a 12-inch reflector he plans to give away on permanent loan to a friend. He also has made an eight-inch refractor telescope - smaller, but more complicated, because it involves two lenses plus a mirror. The new one required him to peer for about 100 hours through a Focault device - a combination lamp, blade and vernier scale that uses a pinhole of light to magnify mirror imperfections one million times. "It's a grind," quips Degroot. His telescopes catch light so faint he wants thee iris of his eye to be fully dilated while tie watches the skies, sometimes for hours on end. Even the rays from car headlights on the lighdy-travelled road nearby can take away five minutes of observing time while his eyes readjust to near-total darkness. That's one reason why he and his teenage son Andrew built the backyard observatory 14 months ago. They joined pentagons and hexagons made of plywood into a sphere in the manner of Buckminster Fuller, the architect who designed a similar but much larger structure for Expo '67 in Montreal. Degroot's 10-foot diameter observatory is covered with white, resin-coated flbreglass and looks like a giant golf ball. The hours spent inside the observatory are one way of putting the problems of the day aside, Degroot says. "You tend to get quite philosophical," he says. Caring for the air we breathe VANCOUVER - ARS Vital Aire held their private grand opening of tlie Vital Aire Breathing Gire Centre on July 26, which was a tremendous success. Noted members of the medical community were in attendance, including Mairee Gandera, regional coordinator of die Asthma and Allergy Information Association, a national organization dedicated to helping allergic individuals cope widi allergies ranging from hayfever to life-direatening food allergies. During die ribbon-cutting ceremony, Rick Snyder, ARS Vital Aire director of operations, western region, from Saskatoon, noted die increase of respiratory problems diat have been on die rise across die nation. "This is die fourth facility diat we've opened up in Canada, as a result of the increased need and demand from patients across die country. Our focus is on respiratory client education. Simultaneously, we are providing opportunities for individuals to obtain products diat effectively treat respiratory symptoms and conditions." More than 4-million Canadians are affected by asthma, rhinitis (hayfever) and other respiratory problems, such as eczema and hives. Conditions from diese disorders can seriously disrupt a person's regular activities. As a result, Canadians miss more dian half-a-million days of work each year. "However, proper treatment, combined with education, gives control," said Gandera in her ribbon-cutting speech. "ARS Vital Aire echoes die sentiments of die Allergy & Asdima Information Association: we are bodi consummate believers in die power of education. Their commitment to education and respiratory relief is not only essential. It is part of dieir concept and vision, which gives us both a common focus." The Vital Aire Breadiing Care Centre, at 3714 Oak Street in Vancouver, has established a self- education process. "The Education Centre is free of charge," says' Snyder. "It was built to reflect die client's choice. Our resources include tapes, books, videos and fact sheets which are loaned out. As well, there are check lists to identify allergen sources in die home." ARS Vital Aire is committed to providing exceptional service to all patients. Besides carrying a wide range of consumer respiratory care products, diey also offer diagnostic services, support services, dierapeutic care and 24- hour emergency service and equipment. Telephone assistance is also available in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, resulting in breathing care for the entire Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.

Cyclists in training for Commonwealth MATSQUI - The Canadian Cycling Association has announced die teams that will be competing on August 6 and 7, as part of tlie 1994 Conimonwealdi Games Power Smart Sport and Culture Tour. Tlie events include international level cyclists on their way to compete in Victoria. The road race takes place at nine a.m. on Saturday at die Ag Rec Centre in CFV Exhibition Park on Tretliewey Street. The men's race is 120 km, and tlie women's race is 70 km. The cycling criterium is a closed event in which cyclists race around a one km track at high speed. It is a very fast and tactical event, which is exciting to watch because die entire track is visible from the stands. This event will take place on Sunday beginning at nine a.m. at the Fraser Valley Auto Mall. Australian cyclists include: Henk Vogels, Damian McDonald, Matthew White, Steven Drake and Brett Dennis for the men. For tlie women it is: Kathy Watt (1992 Olympic god medalist), Cathy Reardon, Anita Crossely, Louise Nolan, Margaret Henderson and Rachel Victor.

"However," cautions Valerie MacLean, Better Business Bureau general manager, "before you start clipping your way to savings, make certain you'll get the deal that is promised." Coupon books are typically designed, developed and sold by commercial marketing companies. The company enters a community and encourages merchants to participate by promising them new customers and increased business from buyers who will use their coupons. To sell their product to die public, promoters claim die books have a retail value equal to the maximum possible value of all the coupons combined. The coupons range greatly in value, but almost always require that something be purchased before receiving the discount; for example, a free car wash with the purchase of a tank of gas, or a free dessert with tiie purchase of a meal. Sometimes promoters try to sell the books in connection with a local community organization, -such -as"the school PTA or a church group, in return for a share of the profits. If you receive a call from a coupon book promoter who claims die profits will go to a community group, ask if die salesperson belongs to that organization or if he or she is a paid solicitor. Also, ask what portion of die sales actually will go to die benefiting organization. Coupon books can represent a real value and at tlie same time introduce you to new stores or restaurants. But, be wary of exaggerated or misleading claims and check out the promotional company widi your Better Business Bureau. Before purchasing a coupon book, die BBB recommends asking die following questions: • What is die actual cost of die book, including shipping and handling fees? • Does die book offer products and services you are interested in, and are die stores ones you care to patronize? • Are. die participating businesses conveniently located? • WilVtiie savings exceed hidden costs, such as the value of your time and transportation? • Will you be able to redeem coupons before die expiration date? • Are diere restrictions on certain coupons diat may limit your chance of using them? MATSQUI - Despite tlie rumors, diere is no strike or service widi- drawal by die staff of die Legal Services Society, or die staff who provide legal aid service diroughout die province in branch offices, community law offices and native community offices. Margaret Cissel, chair of the Legal Services Society says "In fact, die society is continuing to provide service through a number of in-house lawyers and paralegals." Although some members of tlie Association of Legal Aid Lawyers, representing some 500 bar lawyers, are refusing to accept new legal aid cases, the LSS remains cautiously optimistic that they will be able to continue to refer cases to private lawyers. There are between 2500 and 3000 private lawyers on the society's list who accept legal aid cases. People who think they may have a legal problem, should still contact tiieir local legal aid office and eidier staff or lawyers will assist diem. The ALAL refusal to accept referrals is because of a decision by die LSS to reform tlie delivery of legal aid. Cissel says diat "the changes are in part in order to meet an unserved statutory responsibility (of delivering legal services to the public)." "Reform of the legal services delivery has been studied and planned for more than two years," she continued. "We knew that unless we did something to control spiralling costs, we could be faced with an inability to meet tlie full legislated mandate of the Legal Services Act." Based on information from earlier studies and reviews, the LSS board of directors unanimously approved plans for reform on February 18, of this year. The LSS embarked on a province wide consultation in 1993, visiting 55 communities, and discovered that people need a service which is more responsive to local conditions, and diat people are demanding a more balanced approach to criminal, family and poverty law as well as public legal education. Last year more dian $71 million (74%) of die society's budget was paid to contracted private lawyers. Nineteen percent was left to fund poverty and public legal education services. According to Cissel this imbalance is unacceptable and cannot continue. "Our challenge is to ensure a balanced service is available to all eligible British Columbians," she said. Tlie mixed model of delivery is not new to die LSS whicli has always delivered its services dirough staff lawyers and die private bar. "We are altering our service delivery based on successful models operating in other Canadian provinces," said Cissel. The LSS has implemented pilot projects in Bumaby, New Westminster, Abbotsford and Port Coquidam, to gadier information and work out die initial administration and other problems that come with the new model. Cissel says that die results from die pilot projects are by no means conclusive, and need to be continuously monitored. The society is also prepared to make any changes necessary along the way. The plan will also increase tlie number of staff lawyers in order to handle about half of B.C.'s legal aid cases. Currently about 90 percent of cases are contracted to die private bar. "We will continue to work with private bar lawyers who provide die other part of die balance required," said Cissel. "And it is hoped that the long-standing relationship between the LSS and the contracted lawyers will continue to evolve during the implementation of the program. Statements that the mixed model of delivery of service will become an American style public defender system are untme according to Cissel. "In the United States, both public prosecution and public defence are managed by die state. In British Columbia legal aid is provided by tlie LSS, which is independent of government and statutorily mandated to provide legal aid and public legal education. Not everyone is opposed to the changes, however. The British Columbia Association of Community Law Offices and die Native Community Law Office Association of British Columbia, which represent die interests of 25 volunteer community boards charged with the responsibility of delivering legal service to their communities, applaud the restructuring of the LSS so diat it re- \ fleets a partnership between government, the Law Society and the community. For years die LSS has suffered acute polarisation from the competing visions of the directors appointed by the society and those appointed by tlie attorney general. Excluded from the board were members of the aboriginal communities and the volunteer boards who provide ongoing community input into the delivery of legal services in B.C. Both the BCACLO and the NCLOABC believe diat the recent adoption of Bill 55 by the government, in which tlie number of appointees is reduced, while allowing for more volunteer community representatives, will create a healthier, more balanced LSS board and therefore a healthier, more positive LSS. The associations also applaud die LSS for approving a plan to reform die mediod by which legal services are delivered, saying that a mixed model mediod of service delivery will go along way to rectify long standing problems in the delivery of legal services in diis province. Both groups agree diat the staff based part of die mixed model delivery will improve the quality and accessibility of the LSS, as well as save it a lot of money Also widi the new system it is hoped diat many community and native community law offices, which have had difficulty in the past getting help from the private bar to provide clients with family law problems, can get die assistance diey need. As well there are odier cases chronically ignored by die private bar, such as poverty law (landlord/tenant disputes, UIC and WCB troubles) and aboriginal justice cases (hunting, fishing and employment). The new system will provide greater flexibility for the LSS to address the serious gaps diat exist. Over die last few years, a number of enquiries on aboriginal accessibility to justice have shown repeatedly that there is a greater need for more culturally appropriate legal services. The . staff based model of the system will allow LSS to implement many of the suggestions discovered during the consultations. cm YOUR VOICE Seen a good one lately? By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK And now for a subject very near and dear to my heart, die world of movies. Yes, it's easy enough to declare diat movie makers are spitting out way too much junk but if you fish around you can find a few real gems. This week we asked people what movie or video diey would recommend diat odier people should check out diis summer and why? I'll start, I recommend a wonderful Australian film diat you probably heard about, die romantic comedy "Stricdy Ballroom". I ran out right away and bought the sound track, which contains a great remix of "Love is in the Air" and Doris Day's "Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps". Anodier recommendation is "Dead Again" with Kenneth Branaugh and his Oscar winning wife. Emma Thompson. Those two are always great. Your suggestions were: Daniel Hatcher, 14: Probably "Ghost in die Machine" because it was a good thriller movie and good on special effects. Clint Godsoe, 12: "Man's Best Friend" because it's just a really good movie. The special effects were good and I like die way that dog just kills people and "True Lies," the special effects were great. Joseph Hurtubise, 14: "The Programme" because it shows drugs and stuff and success in football and I'm into football. It shows about steroids, overcoming it, and the cheating in everyday sports. Marie Claxton: "A League of Their own" because it's got everything, it's happy, it's bitter-sweet and it makes you feel good. McMorran Todd Chris Wliittier: ..."Ace Venture Pet Detective." ...Jim Carry's right . on...die best. Agri science links up with space at PNE VANCOUVER - Imagine growing better crops dirough die use of satellites. It's not just imagination. During die 1994 Paciffe*; National Exhibition, August 20 to September 5, NASA spokesman Bob Smidi will show you how Agriculture Links Up Widi Space. This unique and stimulating exhibit demonstrates . satellite- based remote sensing technology. This state-of-the-art technology uses infra-red photography to pinpoint potential problems in farmers' fields. Satellite photos, taken five miles above die earth, show pockets of disease, areas of poor irrigation, even points of pollution. Used properly, diey assist in crop yield surveys, land use planning, water pollution monitoring and soil moisture mapping. In addition to photos and videos of diis breakdirough technology, die Agriculture Links Up Widi" Space exhibit in die PNE Pacific Showcase includes models of space shutdes and space stations, lunar and shuttle tile samples, telescopes and more. Supplementing the exhibit is a 25-minute narrated stage program, followed by a question and answer session. The stage program will be presented four times daily diroughout tlie PNE as part of "the Nature of Our Future" program. "We are extremely pleased to commemorate tlie 25di anniversary of man landing on the moon witii this fascinating display," says PNE agriculture program coordinator Connie Duivenvoor- den. "This display is in a class of its own and a key part of our commitment to entertain and educate both our rural and urban visitors." THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 3. 1994 21 Royal Bank rides for seals on world's largest bike if VANCOUVER - A 34 seat cycle, believed to be die world's largest, will visit many Canadian communities this summer. The cycle, which is as long and wide as a full size bus, will be in B.C. in August as part of a nation wide Easter Seals fundraiser sponsored by Royal Bank. It comes to die Fraser Valley, Thursday, August 18. The Royal Bank Ride for Easter Seals, being held to celebrate the bank's 125di anniversary, is expected to raise $1,250,000 for Easter Seals. Scott Mears, chairman of the British Columbia Lions Society for Children widi Disabilities, (die provincial Easter Seal franchise) said diat funds raised dirough die ' rides will remain in die commu nity to help local children witii disabilities. Merv Fuchs, Royal Bank public affairs described the rides as a "fun way" for people to raise money for an important cause. "Royal Bankers who had ridden a similar bike suggested diis as a great way to help celebrate our 125th anniversary" said Fuchs. The Royal Bank Big Bike hits British Columbia for die first time on August 12, in Prince George. Tlie 34-seat cycle, built especially for die Royal Bank Ride for Easter Seals, seats 11 rows of three cyclers. The 34di seat is positioned at tlie rear of the cycle and is available for ride mascots. Riders will be volunteers from Royal Bank and other local businesses and organizations. Each will commit to raise a minimum of $125 dirough sponsorship from colleagues, friends and neighbours. Royal Bank is sponsoring the Ride as die major activity of die bank's 125di birthday celebrations. The bank was founded as The Merchant's Bank in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1869. Today it is Canada's largest bank with over 1,500 branches across Canada and offices in 33 countries around die-world. Easter Seals provides care, treatment and rehabilitation services for children with varying physical disabilities. The programs offered range from recreational facilities to direct financial aid to the families of children in need.

AUGUST 3. 1994 Richness of Russian wilderness threatened Restricted access irks northerners POKOINNY BAY, Russia - A massive brown bear, hungry after a long winter's sleep, loped widi surprising speed across steep meadowland rising from die world's oldest and deepest lake. In a clearing below, tliree red deer froze, noble and unmoving, and then disappeared into the pine forest. A pair of red-breasted merganser clucks launched diemselves from die shoreline, their whirring wings seeming to skim die lake's glassy surface. These were the most visible denizens, on a frosty May morning, of the Baikalo-Lensky nature reserve in southern Siberia. They are a tiny part of Russia's vast natural resource, a wilderness as rich and vital to tlie earth as tlie Amazon rain forest - and just as threatened. While die Soviet Union justly earned a reputation as a monstrous despoiler of the environment, it also protected a unique network of nature reserves ranging from the central Asian desert to tlie Arctic tundra. These 170 reserves were totally off-limits to visitors, and they sheltered a bewildering variety of plant and animal species. Now, with economic collapse and a breakdown of central authority, the reserves stand exposed. Poachers and loggers, prospectors and ranchers are ghawing away at Russia's natural heritage. The 'green' movement is moribund, the profit motive is exalted and die few rangers and naturalists seeking to defend the reserves are virtually powerless. I Everything is beginning to break up and fall apart," says Vladimir Krever, the World Wildlife Fund's representative in Moscow. Russia alone has 85 of the reserves, enclosing as much territory as all of Italy, as well as 88 semi-protected national parks and wildlife refuges with even more space. But scientists have warned that their deterioration could destroy the world's largest temperate forest, an essential defence against global warming, and hasten the extinction of thousands of unique species, from die Siberian tiger to Lake Baikal's unique freshwater seals. "The vast landscapes of the Russian federation represent one of die last opportunities on earth to conserve relatively intact ecosystems large enough to allow ecological processes and wildlife populations to fluctuate naturally," die World Wildlife fund said in a report earlier diis year. Here in die Baikal region, park rangers who earn less than $20 a month often turn to poaching to support themselves. More honest employees have no jeeps or walkie-talkies to patrol their vast territories against the incursions of locals or criminal bands of commercial hunters. Local authorities, emboldened by Moscow's decline, grab chunks of protected land for grazing or to build new vacation lodges. The government can no longer pay for the aircraft that used to deliver supplies and fight fires - and given Siberia's thin soil and short summers, a forest fire is a century-long disaster. Reserves in other parts of the country are struggling with similar problems. In die Arctic Ocean near Alaska, the Wrangel island reserve, breeding ground for the endangered polar bear, has been unable to pay its bills for last year's deliveries. If it does not receive funds soon, its staff will have to leave, before tlie freeze conies diis fall. Near die Oka reserve, collective farm dwellers are earning 3,000 rubles ($1.35) and two botties of vodka per month. "Of course people are going to go poaching," Krever says. And local authorities in Tuva, near tlie Mongolian border, now allow domesticated reindeer grazing on a reserve where endangered beavers, sables and other species live. Opportunities becoming scarce The Cnnada Employment Centre for Students opens each year to help students find jobs. Tlie following column updates the employment picture for students and employers. If you are a student or an employer in search of help, contact the office at 20506 Fraser Highway or phone 534-8584. Student em- ployment officers will gladly answer your questions. ALDERGROVE - Remember your first summer job...remember how hard working, enthusiastic and reliable you were - students looking for employment today haven't changed. Summer has arrived in Aldergrove and along with the sunsliine comes students seeking jobs. At the Canada Employment Centre for students, die number of students looking for work in the month of June far surpassed the number of jobs available. Unfortunately, this imbalance looks to continue into July. Students have always faced a frustrating dilemma: diey can't find work without experience but they can't get experience without work. Caught in diis situation, students have never had an easy time in finding a job. But at this time of year, students have an additional challenge as fewer available jobs means greater. comjpetitioi'i. ^^^^1^0^ Employers are_ currently reaping the benefits of such stiff com petition as they often receive applications from several qualified and capable candidates. At die Canada Employment Centre for Students, it is now common for an employer to fill dieir" job vacancies in one day. In fact, one local- employer received ten applications for dieir job in an hour. For employers, diey now face the happy dilemma of choosing the best candidate from a wide selection of students. The message is two-fold: Now is the time to hire a student. Aldergrove students need the support of local businesses to acquire the skills diey need for future employment and to finance their education. Without support from die local business community, students' futures are considerably bleaker.

Many have recognized their total isolation was possible only in a totalitarian regime and diat diey have to allow some access, both to raise funds and to win local support.

FORT ST. JOHN - Peace River North MLA Richard Neufeld called for a six-mondi suspension of the NDP's decision to restrict motor vehicle access to die Muskwa-Kechika Access Management Area.

"It's an absolute outrage that, with the stroke of some bureaucrat's pen in Victoria, an area the size of Nova Scotia has been arbitrarily designated 'out of bounds' to motor veliicles in our own backyard," Neufeld said. "Not only did the government botch its original announcement widi a press release full of errors, it didn't even have die courtesy to directly advise die regional district or the two Peace River MLAs of its decision. "People who had planned to enter the Muskwa-Kechika region for holidays or hunting should be given die chance to do so, without being unduly inconvenienced. A six-month review would allow that to happen, while giving all Peace River residents an opportunity to more fully understand die NDP's restricted access plan and what it will really mean over the long term," said Neufeld.

Russia retains army of 2 million men MOSCOW - Russia's defence minister has announced that the armed forces will keep more than two million soldiers and officers in uniform indefinitely, abandoning plans to slash the force to 1.5-million. Lawyer's fee slashed VANCOUVER - A judge slashed by two-thirds a lawyer's fee for settling a malpractice suit, saying the $500,000 bill was unreasonable. Lawyer Raymond MacLeod worked for five years on behalf of a brain-damaged infant before winning a $1.5rmillion settlement. But Justice Allan Thackray, of the BC Supreme court, ruled that MacLeod's $500,000 fee was unreasonably high and the equivalent of an hourly rate of $2,000. The judge said MacLeod likely worked about 260 hours on the case, not the 800 hours which the lawyer had claimed. He cut MacLeod's fee to $175,000. MacLeod had been acting for Michael Nathan Harrington. Harrington's mother alleged her son had been deprived of oxygen during his July 26, 19.88 birth at Royal Inland Hospital. The case was settled before it went to trial. MacLeod had ananged a fee of one third of any settlement he negotiated, payable only if he won. Witchcraft in the classroom VICTORIA - Taxpayer groups are outraged that die New Democratic government chose to use International Women's Day to promote feminism, unionism ancl even witchcraft in the public schools. The Women's Equality ministry sent out information kits to high school teachers and librarians promoting pagan worship, the union movement and appearing to discount women who are homemakers or who do traditional jobs. "the public schools are not the place to indoctrinate children with the radical feminist viewpoint or any religious dogma," said Kari Simpson, head of the Citizens' Research Institute. As well, the historical data on the International Women's Day stresses the event links to European socialism. One of the National Film Board videos recommended in the kit's list of resource materials is about pre-Christian forms of nature worship. The "Goddess Remembered" is described as "a documentary about the roots of contemporary women's spirituality which links the loss of goddess-centered societies/* with today's environmental crisis." Women's Equality minister Penny Priddy said teachers were bee to use the material or not. £ftfe AiPERQROVE STAR/AUGOST- 3: 1994 27 CORE plan vague, job loss expected VANCOUVER - Forest Alliance of B.C. chairman Jack Munro is concerned the Vancouver Island Land Use Plan released by CORE Commissioner Stephen Owen ex- ceeds the government's own plans to protect 12 per cent of B.C.'s land base, and will result in an untold number of jobs being lost. The Commission on Resources and Environment report makes 90 recommendations to provincial cabinet for the future of Vancouver Island. Prominent among them is the creation of 23 new protected areas, increasing the total land base set aside from economic development from 10.3 j to 13 per cent. In addition, eight per cent of Vancouver Island would be set aside as "regionally significant lands", with forestry of secondary importance to ecological, recreational and cultural values. Munro says Owen's report implies what is a ceiling for the rest of the world is just a floor for Vancouver Island. "Not only does Owen recom- mend protected areas on Vancouver Island be increased to 13 per cent - with the addition of the regionally significant lands we're talking about 21 per cent of Vancouver Island being restricted from economic development." Munro said the CORE plan disregards the scientific findings of the 1987 Brundtland Report, whisch recommends a 12 per cent protected areas policy to preserve the planet's bio-diversity and environmental health. Munro agrees with Owen that the CORE recommendations will result in a "loss of jobs in traditional industries, notably forestry." He says the economic transition strategy is vague, and gives litde hope to families in forest-dependent communities who may face lay-offs or job losses if the plan is adopted by government. "Vancouver Island forest workers and their families have seen their livelihoods eroded by reductions in annual allowable cut, by the creation of more and more protected areas, and today the threat of even more land being removed from the working forest," Munro said. "So for Mr. Owen to propose a transition strategy based on regressive ideas like more labour-intensive harvesting practices, vague promises of retraining and early retirement without any government commitments is cold comfort indeed." Privatization said ?§ to be a total failure BURNABY - Tlie findings of an independent review confirm dial die 1988 privatization of B.C.'s highways maintenance program was a failure, says BCGEU president John Shields. "The report released today by Transportation and Highways Minister Jackie Pement reveals diat privatized highways maintenance has cost taxpayers a staggering $100-million or more to date," Shields says. "At the same time, the report talks about inconsistencies in administration, service delivery and priorities. The authors are unable to reassure British Columbians that this vital infrastructure is being properly maintained to die levels pre-privatization. Clearly, this report demonstrates a case for reinstating highways maintenance in tlie government service."
