Volunteers help nab robbers By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - According to Community Police Officer Al Wakelin, volunteers at the Community Policing Station were excellent and outstanding in their handling of a robbery in progress call that was made to their office. Two men, suspected of robbing the Windy Creek Tack and Apparel store on 272 Street just before 4 p.m, Monday, May 6, were arrested within 15 minutes of the incident because of the volunteers. A man, with a white bandana covering his face, robbed the clerk at the front of the store at knife point. Another clerk called police from the rear of the store, where she was later found unharmed. Approximately $200 and some receipts were stolen by the robber who, according to witnesses, ran out the front door, to the east alley, and around to the back of the store. After losing his scarf, he got into a white Plymouth Volare with B.C. plates. Volunteers at the police station alerted Wakelin and general duty member Constable Gravelle, who ran to the scene. Ten minutes later Wakelin and Constable McCutcheon, with radio help from Gravelle, stopped the suspect vehicle in the 5200 block of 264 Street. Two men from Surrey were taken into custody, and the vehicle was towed to the Langley RCMP detachment A search of the vehicle did not turn up the knife, believed to be a switchblade, or the bandana. Wakelin believes the men ditched the items somewhere along 32 Avenue on their way to 264 Street. The search did turn up merchandise that was reported stolen yesterday from the Aldergrove Work Wear store. Wakelin said both suspects have previous convictions and outstanding warrants for robbery. They will be appearing in court on Tuesday afternoon to face rob bery charges, and will also be charged with possession of stolen property. In an unrelated incident, a 'mom and pop' drug distribution operation was taken down last Friday afternoon, after police acted on a tip received at the com-: munity policing station. Wakelin estimates there are eight or nine such distributors in the Aldergrove area supplying drugs such as marijuana, acid and cocaine to juveniles. He asks any parents or community members with information to come to the office on 271 Street, just north of Fraser Highway. Abbotsford looks for more cuts By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council passed the 1996 budget last week, after insisting on a zero percent tax increase the week before, and sending staff back to the drawing board to cut the projected $170,000 shortfall. The finance department had originally suggested a .49% tax increase, or about three dollars on the average property, to cover the projected shortfall. Councillors reiterated that they promised no tax increases, and uiere will be no tax increases. There was discussion as to where to find the money. It ended up coming from increased license and permit fees and the elimination of the $70,000 contingency. This move will hurt many charitable and community organizations that rely on municipal grants. It was announced previously that grants would be substantially reduced, but now that there is no contingency, it is unlawful for council to authorize grants or donations not listed in the budget Please see page 2... F RE E IC LASS IFI EDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE 40 CENTS Mall proposals clash with 'plan' By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Overwaitea Foods wants to build a store and small shopping centre on the west side of this town, across from McDonald's, but planners and various visionaries at the township are opposed to the proposal. A report from the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee said their "enhancement strategy supported development in the downtown area, and the committee would have to consider this issue carefully." Last year, Overwaitea's plans for a Save-On-Foods store in Walnut Grove were delayed months because of a resident's complaint that it would detract from the 15,000-resident subdivision's "rural atmosphere." It required the support of several hundred residents, mostly seniors, at a public hearing in the high school gym, before council could find the will to defy this bizarre minority opinion. Overwaitea representatives, Bob Tougas and Keith Blasius had attended ARC's April 24 meeting, along with realtor Terry Hamilton and Marktrend pollster David Rink. Hamilton said their efforts to assemble enough smaller parcels in the town core were unsuccessful, because of high prices or unwillingness to sell on the part of owners. They have an option on land at the southwest corner of 264 Street and Fraser Highway, in the commercial and industrial zoned area. Tougas said they would be proceeding with an application for a 30,000 square foot food store, i and up to 25,000 square feet of other commercial floorspace. Tougas said they estimate that about $100,000 per week is being spent by residents on shopping out of town, and they wanted to tap into this by providing a third food store option here. Rink said Marktrend's random phone survey of 400 adults here found that 61 percent were in favour of the proposed location. On the need for another grocery store, 40 percent said yes and 54 percent said no, and only 16 percent said this was a major issue compared to other issues facing the community. Coun. Mel Kositsky, township's delegate to ARC, told council, Monday, that he was "surprised that (Overwaitea) would go to the expense" of surveying residents here for their opinion on the proposal. He added that a "staff resource person will look at the development and enhancement strategy" and that it would be discussed at the public ARC luncheon this month: "It'll get a thorough review." ARC has also "decided that the report from Coriolis Consulting on Aldergrove commercial development and the enhancement strategy should be reviewed at the next meeting." Coun. Steve Ferguson observed that "space and parking are difficult in the town core," but Kositsky said it was possible: "They don't want to comply." Mayor John Scholtens said he supported "jobs for Aldergrove residents" and wanted to hear what residents here had to say about the forthcoming proposal from Overwaitea. Langley delivers 0-tax increase, more service LANGLEY - Township property owners are promised a zero tax increase this year, after announcing Monday that "efficiency dividends generated as a result of the enhanced budgeting system, introduced in late 1994 (have eliminated) the 1.65 percent tax increase" originally forecast in the provisional budget. "Very positive... it's a wonderful day," said mayor John Scholtens. Coun. Steve Ferguson agreed, commenting that, "It's the first time we've proposed zero increases... we're passing our gain onto citizens." The ever-skeptical coun. Muriel Arnason said, "It's not great budgeting, as we're getting more money" from all the new taxpayers who've moved into the township. In any event, Scholtens said "the proposed work program can still be maintained and the average householder will (also) see a decrease in the cost of garbage collection and sewer utilities" which will result in an overall decrease despite an increase to water costs. The final budget includes funding for a number of new programs, such as six additional. RCMP officers; a youth coordinator; purchase of youth ice time; pursuit of a partnership for a Walnut Grove pool; new park facilities in Aldergrove, Walnut Grove, Brookswood and Murrayville; washrooms and changerooms at Athletic Park; a new park site in Walnut Grove; a substantial road program; and replacement of three firetrucks. 'Taxpayers are now beginning to reap the benefits of giving managers and departments greater responsibility over the funds used widiin their respective areas," said Scholtens. "We want the taxpayers to know that we are serious about ensuring quality service at a reduced cost" PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 NEWS?

Council will be evaluating and Abbotsford cuts From front... The Air Force Association of Canada 861 Wing, in a letter to council, asked for a $1,000 grant to assist with the cost of building a memorial to unit members. The letter stated that the air cadet building, flag pole and memorial will become part of the city at no cost, but they would appreciate some financial input from the city. Councillors Chuck Wiebe and Jack Robertson supported the request but were stonewalled by other councillors who insisted that, because the item is not in the budget, it cannot be approved. Robertson suggested including the grant in the 1997 budget, for which there is already an estimated million dollar shortfall, but was quickly opposed by Council- .•' lor Ken Funk who said there are more important issues. "Look at all the debt that we have allowed to accumulate," he said. "This council has got to be frugal, and a memorial at this time is inappropriate." Only Wiebe and Robertson voted in favour of issuing the grant Significant expenditures added to the 1996 budget include: $220,000 for additional transit service; a $240,000 annualization of the fire department's third Quick Response Team; and the establishment of a $360,000 equipment reserve for major fire apparatus. discussing the open house findings next week. The OCP is part of the Corporate Strategic Plan adopted by council in October 1995. The CSP sets a direction for the city and provides the basis for other plans required to implement strategic objectives. The OCP was created as a direct result of the CSP process, to lead the city into the next century. The strategies and goals of .the CSP have been incorporated into the OCP. The vision statement of the OCP is as follows: Abbotsford will be an economically, socially and environmentally healthy city. People from many backgrounds will contribute values, knowledge, and skills to the development of business, culture, education and recreation. The community will be proud of its history and enthusiastic about the future. Some of these initiatives can be implemented by council, others depend upon support and leadership from outside agencies. Initiatives that are under direct control of council will form the background for any discussions on major organizational changes, and be subject to annual budget reviews by the city. Included in the plan are ideas for the development of the East Aldergrove area. Although most of the land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, there is potential for low density development in a 79 hectare area along 276 Street between King Road and Downes Road, and along Fraser Highway to Lefeuvre Road. Wayne Gordon, Manager of Community Planning for the city said the idea is to create 'an extension of Downtown Aldergrove', along with some residential development. The area has been classified under the OCP as Low Density Urban Reserve, which consists of areas outside the Urban Development Boundary. These areas will provide for the future expansion of lands available for low density urban development. A more detailed analysis and consultation with local residents, Langley Township, and the Agricultural Land Commission will be required to determine appropriate levels of development in the east Aldergrove area. Development is estimated to start in 5 to 10 years, at which time the area could provide approximately 870 dwelling units for 3,000 people. Sanitary servicing and water flow limitations are the main factors stopping immediate development Further development of the area east of Aldergrove and along the Fraser Highway Corridor is inhibited by the ALR. Hie city will allow low density rural development in the interim, on the conditions that any subdivision shall be designed to not impede future subdivisions at urban densities, and that potable water and approved sanitary systems are available. It is also city policy to require ah area plan be in place before development be considered, and that the provision of municipal services to the LDUR lands not reduce the servicing capacity of developable lands within the existing Urban Development Boundary. The OCP goes on to outline various types of development for the city as a whole, including residential and commercial development, parks and recreation, and emergency services in keeping with the CSP. It also outlines the goals, strategies and objectives for the city's future, and will be the topic I of much discussion over the next few months. ^* Aldergrove :: PIZZA FACTO HY isAo-tW * Get 2 Litre FREE POP for delivery or pickup over $16.00 3 for I Get any 3 Pizzas with 2 Toppings small medium large $16.99 $19.99 $22.99 2#§orX 1 FREE Pasta with garlic toast with any 2 Specialty Pizzas from our menu small medium large $19.99 $22.99 $24.99 PIZZA FACTORY 857-0135 3083 - 271 Street, Aldergrove 857-2144 FREE DELIVERY - LIMITED AREA • NOT VALID WITH AN Y OTHER OFFER • G.S.T.

IRGO GOING NOWHERE Local projects get go-ahead ALDERGROVE - Two development proposals here heard no public complaint at Monday's township council meeting. Councillors are also investigating possible action against property owners who refuse to maintain tidy premises. The application for a 7-Eleven store and Esso gas bar at 272 Street and Fraser Highway is consistent with bylaws and design guidelines, said planner Kurt Alberts. Council authorized issuance of the development permit to 172965 Canada Ltd. Rezoning was approved for multiple family residential at 2875 - 273 Street, to allow an additional 15 apartment units next to an existing 28-unit complex. The Roanoak Investments Inc. development is aimed at affordable seniors' housing, next to Rotary Park, and a reduction in parking requirements has tentatively been allowed, providing a total 56 spaces for the 43 units. Councillors noted that many cur-. rent residents there don't have or need a car, but this issue will be one that will be heard at the public hearing that will come shortly. On the unsightly premises issue raised by citizens and the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee, mayor John Scholtens said the township "should work with the community in a positive frame of mind to get action." A township employee had been dispatched last month to remove mattresses piled on a vacant lot here, after months of complaints to the non-resident owner failed to yield results. In a somewhat related item, the township appears to be no closer to resolving their dispute with Karl Fischer regarding his IRGO Golf sign. There hasn't been any sort of outcry from neighbouring businesses or residents about the sign's size or colour coordination, but negotiations between IRGO and ARC appear to be going nowhere. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MAY 8.1996 Suspect helcWn murder case ABBOTSFORD - Police arrested a man last Friday in connection with the murder of 16 year-old Tanya Smith and attempted murder of 16 year-old Misty Cockerill last October. A tip led police to 31 year-old Terry Driver, who, upon learning he was a suspect, voluntarily went to the police station for questioning, where he was arrested. Many people, who attended Driver's first court appearance, were shocked at how ordinary he looked, and that he bore no resemblance to the widely distributed composite drawing of the suspect. Driver is heavy-set and has light brown hair that is combed forward, not reddish brown hair with a receding hairline. He does have a moustache. The man, who supposedly uprooted Smith's tombstone and made taunting phone calls to police threatening more deaths, sat nervously in the prisoner box as bis lawyer asked for a ban on the publication of evidence. It was denied, and Driver was ordered to appear again on May 22. Police originally called a press conference for last Tuesday to say how they discovered Driver to be a suspect, but quickly cancelled it, saying no more information is to be released at this time. Constable Elly Sawchuck did say, however, that composite drawings are only an investigative tool that police use, and it may not match, because witnesses are under a considerable amount of stress during an attack, and may have difficulty remembering what the person looked like. In Cockerill's case, she was in and out of consciousness while giving her first description of the killer, who she may have seen only for a second in the dark Sawchuck would not say whether Driver has an anchor tattooed on his forearm. The tip, that led police to Driver, came just days after they released new information to the public, including tape recordings of the latest call made by the killer from Rotary Stadium. Police also released information about a letter from the killer thrown through the window of a Princess Street home in which he outlines several attacks on other women. Friends, neighbours and coworkers of Driver, the son of a retired Vancouver Police sergeant, insist he is not the Abbotsford Killer. Smith's family is only slightly relieved the police have a suspect in custody, and her father, Terry Smith said that if it is him, he will burn in Hell for what he put Tanya through. 'If we can be safe on the street, then Tanya can rest in peace - after all the Hell he's put us through and her through. Driver's family refused any comment, as his brother tried to shield other family members from the media as they left the court house.

Abbotsford's Favorite Department Store THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MAY 8,1996 Star Comment Lure of the golden handshake By HUBERT BEYER VICTORIA - If I decide to leave journalism, and graze the lucrative field of consulting, some politicians and readers might consider sweetening the pot with a farewell gift just to get me out of their hair. As for severance pay from the unfortunate publishers and editors, who run my columns at considerable risk to their reputations, a swift kick in the posterior would probably be just reward for my years of scribbling, which has sustained me fairly well for 35 years, although it has never made me rich. Not so for friends and insiders of political organizations, called parties, in this case the New Democratic Party of British Columbia. Consider Connie Munro, chief appeal commissioner for the Workers' Compensation Board. After serving in her position for about three years, Connie has decided to leave for reasons unknown. As an old and trusted friend of the NDP, she might have feared the outcome of the next election and decided it was better to get the hell out now. Nothing wrong so far. If the lady wants out, she should be able to do so, without being subjected to carping from the likes of me, but there's a rub. Connie gets $300,000, along with the fond farewell wishes from her NDP friends. Now, I've always been under the impression that severance pay applies when someone gets fired before their contract expires. Ms. Munro is leaving of her own accord. The Workers' Compensation Board came up with a neat excuse for the windfall the NDP secured for Munro. She will be prohibited from accepting work related to the WCB field for 18 months, and since mis is her field of expertise, she should be compensated for this potential loss of income. Ergo: give the lady a third of a million dollars, so she won't end up on welfare. I've called premier Glen dark intelligent, sharp, even brilliant, but I'm beginning to have second thoughts. Rarely has a new premier done so many stupid things in such a short time as Clark has. The attempted ouster of Conflict of Interest Commissioner Ted Hughes and the ill-advised and somewhat premature appointment of David Mitchell as his successor was a folly hard to beat, and the premier came away from that scrap with severe bruises. Cutting welfare rates and relieving the poorest of the poor of $49 a mondi was heartless and didn't win him any favors with traditional NDP supporters and very few accolades from opponents. Playing musical chairs widi the public service by ostensibly laying off thousands of people, most of whom found other positions in the public service, was a deception that didn't work. And giving a political friend a $300,000 golden handshake for three years of work is obscene. What on earth happened to the NDP? What happened to their lofty ideals? What happened to their promises, one of which was "no more favors for friends and insiders"? Every government plays the pork-barrel game. And to some degree it must, because only a foolish premier would seek out political opponents for jobs that demand some loyalty. But the NDP, which has always professed to abhor political appointments, has raised pork-barreling to an art form. No government I have ever reported and commented on has appointed so many friends and insiders to high positions as the NDP. And that rubs a lot of people, with the possible exception of Connie Munro, the wrong way. (Hubert Beyer is a Victoria- based political analyst.

V0I I I 3 Reformed' voter speaks out Editor, The Star, Sir, Half a century on this planet has taught me too little, too late. But over the years I've had it all; big wooden house in the suburbs, a gas gulping private car, and holidays abroad on planes that such up 6 gallons per mile. I've had strawberries in January from Mexico via diesel truck, coffee from Brazil to wake me each morning, and bananas airlifted from Ecuador. I've had heart transplants and hip replacements, courtesy of a medical plan with $36 monthly premiums for one person; every labour saving device you can dream of, powered by an electrical bill that looked like loose change to my chequebook; and beautiful furniture made of teak and mahogany from the now extinct forests of Asia. The world has been paved to accommodate my private car; trees have been decimated to make room for and to provide me' with that monster wooden house; and the air I breathe has been polluted beyond Mother Nature's ability to cleanse it, by my indiscriminate use of, among other things, gasoline. Gasoline brought me strawberries in January, when I should have eaten local apples kept cool; gasoline that cut down mahogany and teak for my delight - when I should have been using local resources for the one chair that I can sit in at a time, instead of a large house full. The electricity bill never showed the true cost of power. It never mentioned the fanners and native aboriginal people forced to move and make way for power dams; it never referred to the destruction of fish habitat - a living protein that will ultimately provide the biggest food fight the world has ever seen, as the oceans empty. I "accomplished" all of this by borrowing trillions of dollars from my children and grandchildren, and I am leaving them a debt that will limit their lives as mine never was. I am truly sorry that I learned too little, too late, and I hope that my attempt at restitution will not be too little, too late. Among many things, I need to not spend any more of my children's inheritance, meagre though it will be after those purchases of military weapons, atomic power plants and other destructive human creations. I need to not eat food out of season, that requires gallons of gas to get to my door. And to help me achieve these and many things I pledge to vote for the Green Party at any and all opportunity, in solidarity with our younger generations, who I hope will forgive.

V4W 3R9 tt Phone (604) 856-8303 -A Fax (604) 856-5212 LETTERS Getting away with murder Editor, The Star, Sir, In B.C. it has always been the NDP against the rest of us. This swing back and forth between NDP and us has been going on most of my life. This election is going to be an NDP landslide, or squeaker for NDP. Mr. Campbell will have to accept the Liberal loss on himself. Campbell has failed to keep Gordon Wilson in the party, or draw Jack Weisgerber into the party. The obvious result is a vote split several ways. Also, the NDP have ignored all the issues, and got away with it. Any one of the issues, such as the bingo scandal, Munro's salary, and expenses, golden pension plans, die antics of several cabinet ministers, ICBC's arrogance, injured workers' claims, and two ongoing RCMP investigations, would have sunk most political parties and their leaders. Campbell did very well with the women's vote in his municipal elections but his wife has not Goodbye, Sheila! Editor, The Star, Sir, Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps has finally been forced to resign. Good riddance. Let's review the facts. Leading up to the 1993 election, Copps was one of the most powerful members of the federal Liberal Party. She must have known that in that same period, an internal Liberal Party committee concluded that the GST couldn't just be scrapped. Also during this period, the Liberals' Red Book was being drafted. Copps must have known that on page 22, the Red Book says that a Liberal government would only harmonize the GST with provincial sales taxes, not scrap it During the 1993 election, however, she told her constituents - and, because of her powerful position, Canadians nationally - that the Liberals would scrap the GST. She lied and she knew she was lying when she made that promise. Then Copps went further. She said that she would resign if the GST weren't scrapped. She was lying again because she had no intention of resigning. Actually, Sheila Copps did worse than lie to Canadians. In a cynically manipulative vote-buying ploy, she deliberately deceived them about where the Liberal Party stood on this critically important issue. Worse, during her resignation announcement she lied again as she tried to paint her promise as a "slip of the tongue:". Copps promised deliberately, forcefully and publicly that she would resign if the hated GST weren' t abolished. Habitual hars don't make good Deputy Prime Ministers or MPs. We can only hope that the voters of Hamilton East don't reward her duplicity with re-election. DAVID SOMERVILLE, Toronto ;lfrt taken a high profile to help him in this election. In fact, Liberal headquarters seldom return phone calls, and are quite picky who is in, and who is out, even at the volunteer level. I think women will vote along party lines this time, which is bad for Campbell. Women do make a difference. I remember WAC Bennett, who talked in a stacatto speech pattern, which made it difficult to understand. However, his wife had a network that brought the vote in every time. Do any of these party leaders really care? I remember when Robert Kennedy asked me to help in his election, and that he believed people have a responsibility to help one another, have compassion for one another, and I wonder if Campbell has the time to change everything that is all wrong with the provincial liberal party. ROBERT MELYNCHUK Surrey Getting worse and worse Editor, The Star, Sir, Eighty percent of British Columbians voted for Recall and Referenda in the last election The people spoke loudly, but the NDP never heard. Not a priority for the NDP, they stalled, then grudgingly held farcical hearings. The result was unworkable legislation worthy of a 'never democratic party'. Forty percent of "registered" voters have to sign a petition to recall an MLA. But the real hoax is Gordon Campbell's "Code of Accountability" wherein he states "B.C. Liberals will enact workable Recall Legislation to allow voters to recall an elected official after a petition has been signed by the number of votes the MLA received in the last election, plus one". This policy statement is premised upon Campbell's false statement, "Most MLA's are elected by fewer than forty percent of the voters". Fact is, not one MLA in any single member district was elected by fewer than 40 percent of the votes in the 1983 election or the 1986 election. In the last election (1991) only 19 of 75 (25%) of the MLA's were elected by fewer than forty percent of the voters. The average vote for those 19 was 38 percent. Applying Campbell's recall plan to the 1983 and 1986 election results shows that in 53% of all single member ridings, Campbell's proposal is a more onerous and difficult route to recall than the unrealistic and unworkable NDP legislation that Campbell rightly condemns, but in a fraudulent way. Campbell's policy on reform is no more workable than the NDP's. It's not simply that for 35 percent of the 1991 elected MLA's his recall policy would be harsher, a higher threshold of signatures than the NDP legislation, 'Continuedon page 5- - - - .-.-.. ———-^7—T 'Certified' forests new CSA standard THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

The authors recognize the WCB of B.C. as being "...among the very best systems in North America for both injured workers and their employers." The authors have also provided 21 recommendations for those areas requiring attention that the WCB is addressing in order to improve service to workers and employers. Prevention of workplace injury and disease is the primary goal of the WCB. We are please to report that, in the past year, the injury rate has dropped to its lowest level in B.C. history. Eighteen fewer workplace deaths 'Were recorded in 1995, and 3,631 fewer claims were reported than in .1994. Service and safe return to work of injured workers continues to be a priority. There has been a 16 percent increase in the safe return to work of injured workers due to improving disability management practices in the workplace. More workers returned to their same job with modifications, and more workers returned to a different job with their same employers. As a result of these and other initiatives, the duration of workers on compensation has also moderated. Benefits to injured workers are among the highest in Canada while employers, who fund the WCB, pay among the lowest rates. For 1996, our continuing priorities are to lower workplace injury rates, to further improve the safe return to work of injured workers, to provide improved service, to financial, viability, fiscal prudence and sound management SCOTT Mc CLOY Richmond Variable democracy From page 4 but that in the majority of cases it would not be significandy easier. Campbells policy for recall is also inequitable as it would require a far higher number of signatures to recall certain MLA's while far fewer signatures to recall other MLA's. This could be termed variable democracy. To recall Jeremy Dalton (West Van./Cap.) would require 7342 more signatures than needed to recall Len Fox, or 1,900 more than needed to recall Elizabeth Cull. How can Campbell square this unequal treatment, this unfairness with his chorus of "one law for all"? Perhaps this is not a hoax but merely a poorly thought out excuse for public policy. WILLIAM G, HELLS, Cranbrook company shareholders demand strong fiscal performance; and the public wants both parks and forest industry jobs. Meeting these challenges is not an easy task, but we believe that much can be done through sustainable forest management certification. The Canadian Standards Association forest management certification program will provide independent third party "report cards" that will confirm whether or not forests are being harvested on a sustainable basis. The definition of sustainability includes not just the trees, but conservation of the ecosystem. When the system is in place, forest conpanies that receive passing ; ades will have a distinct advantag> with those consumers who have indicated that they would prefer to buy products from "certified" forests. I am pleased to report that there has been much work completed by the CSA on establishing a national sustainable forest management certification system. If you have any questions about the CSA certification process please call any of the signatories listed on the "Bulletin" or, at the Council of Forest Industries call Phil Gilbert. T.M APSEY, Vancouver Ringma's statement 'a Editor, The Star, Sir, What I have long known, is now official, racists can be very comfortable in the federal Reform Party. I am sickened that in Canada today we still have to fight blatant racist rubbage as spouted by Reform Party MPs. I am referring to Bob Ringma's statement that a black employee might be bad for business and a suitable response would be to "let him go, fire him" or send him "to the back of the shop". Ringma outright refused to apologize, and Debra Grey, the Reform house leader, made it clear to reporters on April 30, that this view is acceptable in the Reform Party. They only back cesspool of bigotry' tracked when finally forced by the massive outrage of Canadians. I can assure Reformers that they are alone in their views on blacks, and thankfully the NDP, Conservatives, Christian Heritage and Liberals have all taken firm stands against racism. If a Liberal MP had made the Ringma statements, he would have been booted out of the Liberal Party within hours. The Reform Party has had some good ideas on economics' and victims' rights, and we have supported some of their proposals. But it is clear that behind this veneer of good proposals is a cesspool of bigotry.

It's hard enough to put trust into a politico, without the added injury of comments and actions from Sheila Copps and Bob Ringma, two "formerly honourable" members of parliament The expediency of Copp's resignation, which allows the federal Liberals to divert attention from their promise to "scrap the GST," speaks poorly of both her and her party. She had the benefit of a constituency poll which showed strong support, she had her by- election campaign all ready to go the next day, and she can now take on the $500,000 by-election on a revised platform. She won't campaign against the GST or her party, so what's the point, other than Copps acting as a sort of "fall guy" or deflection for the duplicity of her colleagues? As for the Reformers who were so good at slamming the government for its lies, they shot themselves in the back the same week when Ringma exposed himself as a genuine bigot. This talk of putting people at the back of the bus because of their colour or whatever is offensive, and out of touch with the thinking of most people who are capable of marking an X on a ballot. Ringma resigned as party whip, but bis unequivocal apology was. so long in coming that he took down fellow MP Dave Chatters with him. Ringma was supported by statements from Chatters that resulted in leader Preston Manning tossing Chatters out of caucus — and a memorable quote from Manning: "We start by shooting ourselves in the foot and then you shoot yourself in the knee. One of these days someone is going to hit a vital organ." This writer didn't vote for local MP Randy White in 1993, but has been impressed with his work in promoting important issues like victims' rights, as well as the opposition work in tackling the government on things like the GST. I was also impressed by the presence of several supporters of Asian and Native Indian heritage at White's campaign meetings. I wouldn't be surprised if some of White's supporters are also homosexual, as gays are not stereotypical left-leaning cross-dressers, they're also business-suited fiscal conservatives, and all the shades in between. However, just as the Liberals are all carrying Copps' baggage, so Reformers will carry the weight dropped by Ringma. White has stayed on the high road, speaking on matters of principle which apply to all persons, but this latest bombshell means that it's going to be an uphill struggle just to keep the credibility he's gained as an MP. No signatures yet ALDERGROVE - Township administrator Jim Godfrey said, Monday, that the formal agreement for this town's connection to the JAMES sewer treatment plant is ready to be signed and "the design work is well underway." Negotiations for rights-of-way are still in process, but Godfrey said he expects to report shortly on the letting of tenders on the million dollar project and the construction start date. The lack of the "execution of the written document" was raised by coun. Muriel Arnason, who observed that solicitors for Langley township and Fraser Valley Regional District had taken a year to come to agreement on the contract language. However, the governments in Langley and Abbotsford have consistently agreed in principle on the connection, which would allow closure of Aldergrove's aging secondary treatment plant, which has received two citations for infractions from the environment ministry. Mayor John Scholtens added that "rights of way negotiations are hard to predict." Arnason also observed that Scholtens has not yet signed the Murrayville cultural centre contracts with the architects and construction manager, as approved by the majority of council. Engineer Pat Anderson said the "authorized contracts ...are ready to be signed." Scholtens, who has argued against the $8.3-million project proceeding without referendum or tenders, tersely commented that "the appointments have not been signed."

Twidale says navy lands ideal for PNE THE ALDERGROVE STAR. MAY 8,1996 7 By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - John Twidale acknowledges that it's a longshot, but said this week that as an MLA he would pursue relocation of the PNE to the former Canada Forces Station lands here. Federal Reform MP Randy White has been chasing down the defence ministry to have some of the 1,000-plus acres converted to a new university site but has been consistently rebuffed by a government that has moved the jobs out of Aldergrove while retaining the land for use as its key west coast transmission site to its fleet of three boats. The station has been redesignated as a Naval Radio Section, although a local "grunt" suggested that NRS stood for "not really sure." Provincial Reformer Twidale said he's familiar with the station's history and the ongoing imbroglio between the various , parties who have different ideas about the land's future, but says he's ready to "give it (his) best pitch." He's not interested in the Playland aspect — 'That can go anywhere. I envision a year-round Spruce Meadows type of agricultural facility. Langley is the horse capital of B.C. and could hold an agricultural event every weekend of the year, with the PNE as an anchor. An agricultural training centre could be developed to serve the horse, catde and poultry industries, and tie in with die farrier school from Kwantlen University College and the practical training for the new equine studies course starting at Kwantlen this September." The PNE has two years in which to move, and the board has been looking at several sites in the lower mainland, including a couple hundred acres of government 'Courage to change' LANGLEY - Liberal leader Gordon Campbell will talk about the "courage to change" at the May 21 dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.

Ottawa has sent delegates to vainly counter a Langley township bylaw that prohibits subdivision of the property, although they succeeded in deep-sixing a proposal to build a highway bypass on the north side of the town, as the traffic would have caused electromagnetic interference for the plethora of receivers and transmitters. Twenty years ago, the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce tried to attract the PNE to a site south of this town, but this failed to pass and the proposed property has been subdivided into country estates over the years. Former MP, the late Bob Wenman quiedy but effectively lobbied the previous Conservative government to keep the station manned, but plans for "remote operation" were quickly implemented by the Liberal government's first budget in 1994. The government has also closed the Chilliwack base as part of its cuts to the military, conveniently moving the personnel to "strategic" bases in Liberal ridings such as Edmonton, and Quebec and the Maritimes. The government has not yet devised a means of relocating CFS Esquimau's deep- water port to a Liberal riding, although with the current state of Canada's navy there is a real risk of losing it to a takeover by a flotilla of Washington fishing boats. Aldergrove Kinettes (above) and local TOPS members were the first local riders of the Heart & Stroke Foundation's Big Bike last Wednesday evening, helping raise funds for the cause. Coordinator Paula Springman said the 30-person bike has grown in popularity throughout the province and each time a community hosts it, the participation grows the next year. She predicts it'll attract twice as many riders here next year, and it will visit Langley city later this month.

MAY 8,1996 Spending equals truckloads of loonies' SURREY - British Columbia's taxpayers were reminded of NDP leader Glen Clark's admission that his NDP government was "shovelling money off the back of a truck," when a convoy of 20 trucks streamed past a weigh-in station on the King George Highway, as a man wearing a Glen Clark mask shovelled chocolate loonies off the back of a dump College approves operating budget ABBOTSFORD - The University College of the Fraser Valley Board approved a $31-million operating budget for the 1996/97 year during its regular meeting on May 1 in Chilliwack. The balanced budget will meet targets set by the Ministry of Education, Skills and Training and begin a process of reorientation which will help UCFV to accommodate limited budget increases in the future. "The budget meets two objectives," said UCFV president Peter Jones. "The first is to get through the coming year with most of our services intact. The second is to position the institution to take maximum advantage of the shifts in government policy and to respond better to the rapidly changing needs of students and the community." truck, May 5. On hand for the event was BC Liberal leader Gordon Campbell who noted that it would take 20 dump trucks, each filled with 2.2- million loonies, to carry the $44.6-million per day the NDP spent over the 60 days leading up to the provincial election campaign. "This event is meant to bring home to B.C. taxpayers tbe impacts of the NDP spending spree," Campbell said. "Ifs meant to remind taxpayers of the NDPs credibility gap. The NDP claim their debt management plan is working, but it's not. The total provincial debt has risen by more than $11- billion under the NDP. "Mr. Clark made a lot of promises - remember 'no tax increases' ? The NDP increased 29 different taxes, including personal taxes, medical premiums and school taxes," said Campbell. "Remember the NDP promise to spend taxpayers' money wisely? The NDP spent $215,000 for a three-holer outhouse and $12-mil- lion on new furniture for B.C. Hydro! "A BC Liberal government will bring accountability and efficiency to government," Campbell said. "We will bring in legislation to make budget deficits illegal. We will shrink the size of government by eliminating waste, duplication and the red tape that prevents businesses from creating jobs. "That means finding 15 cents in savings out of every dollar the government spends," Campbell said. 'I'm sine any taxpayer can tell you what it means to go deeper and deeper into debt; and any taxpayer can tell you how to save 15 cents when you have to." Greens select their candidate WALNUT GROVE - The Green Party has selected Amy Salmon to run as the party's candidate for the Fort Langley/Aldergrove riding. Salmon is an 18- year-old student, graduate of Langley Fine Arts School, and resident of Walnut Grove. "I am running in this election because I refuse to allow the . future of my generation and generations to follow to be a chip on the industrial bargaining table. British Columbia has become a province which places development and profit margins above the right of every individual to breathe clean air, drink clean water, eat uncontaminated food, and live on unspoiled land," said Salmon. "This is unacceptable. We cannot and we will not borrow from our children's future to pay for our past mistakes." Salmon said she is running in support of the Green Party platform that advocates not only youth empowerment initiatives and ecologically-minded economics, but will also focus on poverty, health care and resource industry reform. a chaotic world- how can I discover the Bible's solution?

Farmers want mended dikes LANGLEY - Farmers are a minority in the huge Salmon River floodplain, but the years of frustration in trying to have major improvements done there have united at least 28 of the 47 far- mowners in a petition presented to township council, Monday. Spokesman Tom Astbury said he would return with more signatures on the request to expedite construction of a million dollar flood box and pump station to improve drainage. Fort Langley Farmers' Association spokesperson Cathleen Palmer said a total of 20,000 acres from Fort Langley to Abbotsford "suffer the effects" of poor drainage, and the antiquated pump currendy in use chops up 60 percent of die "juvenile fish" heading for the ocean every year. Siltation and contamination from unchecked flooding" is another serious complaint for fanners, who are willing to contribute a levy on their land to fund the work. However, "we need your commitment, the township must take the lead" Councillors said they have been "frustrated and disappointed" in not securing a commitment from the federal or provincial governments to help pay about half the expected cost Engineer Pat Anderson said he's hoping an application for $100,000 from federal fisheries will be approved, and coun. Mel Kositsky said a recent meeting with agriculture and fisheries minister David Zirnhelt may yield a catch. "Our share is budgeted," said coun. Heather McMullan.

The conference was moved to the former Expo site this year, and concert showcases were cut back to 20 venues — all running simultaneously. Lydia Lunch and Exene Cer- venka had interesting views on censorship of the media, but most interesting was the discussion of a current federal bill that is attempting to move Canada's copyright The Laura Smith (above) and Don Ross concert scheduled for May 9 at Abbotsford has been cancelled, but anyone interested in seeing this show, featuring two of Canada's brightest talents, may catch one of two shows at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, Sunday, May 12, at 2 and 8 p.m. For tickets and information call 254-9578. The Mission Folk Music Festival apologizes for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by the unexpected change. laws into the new century and the new technology, such as the Internet. One of the proposals would see performers receive royalties for radio play of songs, as well as the songwriters, and there's also a proposed tax on blank tapes to compensate artists for the technically illegal copies the public often makes for themselves. Performance-wise it was a real smorgasbord. Songwriters in the round sessions were' a new delight, featuring the likes of Thom Wilson (Junkhouse), Bif Naked and Johnette Napolitano. (Concrete Blonde) alone on stage with the songs. Wilson did the same when he opened for JJ Cale at the Vogue, and was an amazing one-man show, followed by Cale with a four-piece that included wife, Christine on a Les Paul this time (last time I saw him at the Commodore several years ago, it was just Cale with Christine on keyboards). Cale is still the star, capable of soloing by his lonesome, but it was great to hear all those laidback songs slap around with a full band sound. Ex-Zappa guitarist Mike Kineally did his weird stuff with a trio — he's an amazing player and the time changes and dynamics were a challenge — followed by Big Sugar's rockin' blues. Stereolab's show was a yawner, but one of Music West's treats is the chance to discover acts you'd probably never hear otherwise. That was the case with Violet's show at Route 66 — this Oregon quartet is led by a powerful redheaded singer named Lisa, and the band rocked as hard and melodically as Bonnie Raitt, Pretenders or Tragically Hip. This band, on the Schizophonic label, recently toured Europe and the U.S. to awaken the world to their sound, and I think they can go far — more on them later, and here's to seeing them back in this area again soon. m UNITED OPTICAL "YOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" - Repairs -Lenses 'Quality Fashion Eyewear - FfailieS Eye examinations arranged CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE 32500 South Fra«or Way, Clearbrook 859-7115 Students "working" on play on the job ALDERGROVE - The Visual and Performing Arts Department of Aldergrove Community Secondary will present Working from the book by Studs Terkel. Adapted by Stephen Schwartz and Nina Faso, with songs by Craig Car- nelia, Micki Grant, Mary Rodgers, Susan Birkenhead, Stephen Schwartz and James Taylor, this show is directed by David Young. Musical direction is by Marty Summers, choral and vocal direction is by Laurie Lawson and choreography is by Jennifer Crockford. Working is a musical about, by and for anyone who has ever punched a clock or a supervisor. Based on the best selling book of interviews with American workers by Studs Terkel, Working explores the workday from Monday morning blues to the second shift blahs through the original words of some uncommon "common" men and women. Numerous workers, including a steel worker, corporate executive, newsgirls, school teacher, gas meter man, housewife, fireman, waitress, and millworkers, all sing and talk about their jobs, defining not only their daily routines, but their hopes and aspirations as well. Working means a whole lot more than an aching back at the end of the day and a pay envelope at the end of the week, it means existence and defines our sense of self and our lives. Evening performances will be on May 14, 15, 16 and 17 with door 7 pm, curtain 7:30 pm. Tickets are $8 general admission, $6 students and seniors. There are also matinee performances, May 15 and 17 with door 12 pm, curtain 12:30 pm. Tickets are $4 seniors admission, $3 student admission.

Roy Forbes began making music in his home of Prince George twenty years ago, and today, ten recordings and a million shews later, he is one of this country's real treasures. He used to be known as Bim, "the guy who sings with the high voice". But he is more, he is the guy who can sing like an angel, a ragamuffin, a maniac, a canary, a mystic and a passionate man. He has an infectious energy that finds its way into even the most heart- wrenching songs. Tickets are $12 and are available from the Agassiz Pharmasave or at the Harrison Festival office, 796-3664.

I I wm$mk r I Women to rally in Langley "Gentiecare" THE ALDERGROVE STAR, MAY 8.1996 13 LANGLEY - The local oigani- zation, Langley Advancing Against Poverty is organizing a rally in support of the National Women's March Against Poverty. The Women's March is a crosscountry march to raise awareness about the impact of federal government cuts on women's lives in Canada and is cosponsored by the National Action Committee on the Status of Women and the Canadian Labour Congress. A caravan leaves Vancouver on May 14 and will meet up and join other groups of women as they make their way to Ottawa. An Eastern caravan will set out simultaneously. All of the women expect to arrive in Ottawa by June 15, in time to attend the NAC's annual general meeting. The Langley rally will be held on May 14 at 4 pm, at the Langley Family Services parking lot, 5339-206 Street and refreshments will be provided. Speakers, who include Sunera Thobani, NAC president, will address the themes of the March, "Bread and Roses" and "Jobs and Justice." Everyone is invited to attend the rally. Residents get a good shake By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Would you believe that all that political hot air would cause an earthquake? People all over British Columbia felt the shimmer - some more than others. For me, it was something I had not experienced, although fifty years ago diis June in Vancouver we saw doors swinging, windows rattling and people running outside in night attire. Perhaps because I was half asleep it didn't seem near as traumatic as last Thursday night, when it sounded like something struck the third floor at Phase 1 of Willowcreek. It's been a busy week, I almost feel as though the OAP Hall has been my home away from home. Beginning last Monday the Choral Group held their annual spring concert It was quite a success, I would think, according to the compliments flying around A couple from the Music School in Langley, a cello player and his accompanist, were a treat to hear. As for the Choral Group, I think the audience, who were most appreciative, enjoyed the old tunes. This was evident by the number of people singing along. Phyllis Delves, our pianist, was in the hospital so Mary Sansome filled in and did a fine job. Phyllis is home again and we're all hoping she'll soon join us. We miss you Phyllis. Thursday was Carpet bowling as usual, two full carpets were in play. Friday morning was Choral practice and Friday afternoon die general meeting, so you see a good part of the week was spent at the OAP Hall. Dr. Duft, a podiatrist from Abbotsford, was our guest speaker at the Friday meeting. He was very entertaining and added lots of humor to his talk on foot problems. W(£i The Wednesday dance May 1 had a good crowd for midweek, 53 I believe. There were several visitors, Eton McQueen and Marian Rowe from Carlyle, Sask. joined the crowd. They are guests of Dorothy West. It seems they are enjoying the old time dances here. Since Carlyle is not far from my home town of Maryfield, I'm glad to hear they are having a good time. The Spot dance went to Helen Dion and Mike Petts. 50- 50 winners were Florence Mehden, Lorraine Schmunk and Yvette Rivard. There were around 60 for the Saturday dance. The two Spot dance winners were Millie Lickter and Russel Smith, and Lorette Burnet and Peter Dmushko. 50-50 winners were John Esau, Chuck Bright, Florence Mehden, Peter Kabo - the violinist and Myrtle Carson. Door prizes were won by Lyle Wyatt and Mike Pitts. There were several visitors from places close by, Nertie Conet from Surrey, Mary Buckston from Ladner, Reta Venier from Langley, Alvin Kiptin also from Langley and Betty Jenn from Burnaby. Western Melodies are playing for bom dances this week. Bridge scores were high this week. Alex Barstow had 8000, Doug Johnston 7510, Trevor Williams 7180 and Ann Audette 6830. Vi McKeown had a score of 6390 and Margi Collins had 6800 and Kit Farrar 6200. Sheila McDougal won die draw. The Choral Group will be singing at Jackman Manor, Maplewood and Highland Lodge during May and as usual the Choral Festival May 27 will be the finale for this season. This year Aldergrove Choral Group are hosting it, so it is held in the Aldergrove United Church. The Thrift Shop is looking for help, both in hardware and clodiing. So many people are holidaying through die summer mondis it makes it difficult to keep enough workers. According to the report given at the general meeting of die OAP our sales have been good and our donations generous. This seems to be the Seniors News for the first week in May. Here's a sad story to reflect on. A tourist was gcxng by a lion's cage in a zoological garden, when suddenly the lion broke loose from his cage and starting chasing the poor fellow. He ran and ran and ran, but it was of no avail, the lion was right behind him. Realizing it was curtains for him, he knelt to pray, but as he turned he saw the lion was in a praying position, so he said "Oh, you are praying too?" And the the lion replied "O no, I'm just saying grace." DELTA - Burnaby author Moyra Jones will launch her new book, Gentiecare: Changing the Experience of Alzheimer's Disease, on Wednesday, May 15 from 7 pm to 8:30 pm, at Delta View Habilitation Centre, 9341 Burns Drive.

How to choose decent childcare By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - With the rise of dual income families, choosing the right type of child care has become an important issue. Daycare involves more than cost, and dropping off and picking up a child. What a child does and learns at daycare, and the quality of care, are extremely important Health and Welfare Canada publishes information regarding daycare/preschool centres and home care centres, outlining what to look for in choosing between the two. Infant care is a different matter, and parents should consult with a paediatrician or family doctor to discuss the pros and cons of having such a young child in a group care program. Information is available from community social planning councils or the local Department of Welfare. Health and Welfare Canada also suggests looking into provincial legislation, licensing standards and practices. Once the choice for a daycare centre is made, it is important to choose one that meets your needs and those of your child. The first step is to find out, if the centre meets local and provincial health, fire, and space requirements. Daycare centres are to have a certain square footage of space for each enrolled child. Inquire about die fee schedule. Is it weekly or monthly? Is care for a full day of half a day? Is drop-in care available? Low income families can often get assistance through various levels of government If that is an option, find out before hand what the allowance will be, and choose a centre within the limits. During the initial interview, don't be afraid to ask questions, and get answers that are satisfactory to you. Learn as much as possible about the staff. How many staff members (including kitchen help, clerks and child care workers) are there? What qualifications do they have? Most child care Workers in B.C. have an Early Childhood Education Certificate. Health and Welfare Canada recommends a ratio of 1 staff member for 7 children. This, of course, varies with the age of children, as smaller children need more intense supervision and a lower staff/child ratio. It is also important to find out what types of health services are available. What types of snacks will be served, if any? Do they make allowance for children with special dietary needs, and what happens if the child becomes ill while at the centre? Other things to be looked into while visiting the centre include playrooms, rest provisions, isolation rooms, bathrooms, outdoor space and any general observations. Playrooms should be pleasant and colourful, with pictures on the walls. There should be plenty of educational toys for a variety of ages, and child sized furniture in addition to adult sized furniture. There should be spaces allocated for children who want or need to rest, including mats or beds with blankets and pillows. Bathrooms should have toilets and basins that are child sized. Each child should have their own towel, and soap should come from a pump dispenser, to avoid germs that may collect on soap bars or towels and be easily passed on to other children, even though they are washing their hands. Outdoor space is extremely important, because children can things as having electrical plugs covered, the hot water set at a certain temperature, proper ventilation, fire-drill plans, program investigations and frequent unannounced inspections. Staff are highly qualified widi ECE and first aid certificates, and everyone involved undergoes a criminal record check. "There are many good centres," said Nobbs, "Part of the problem is informing parents about the availability of quality care and informing them about what to look for. "Parents comment about the price, but a 10 hour day usually works out to less than $2 an hour. Smile! A child gets positive role models and a creative learning environment making it worth the price." be more active in an outdoor setting. Hnd out what equipment is available, such as swings, slides, sand boxes and a large running space away from swings and slides. Another thing to look for is if the children are treated equally. Are shy, quiet kids getting a fair share of attention? Is the overall atmosphere conducive to a child's creative development? At Precious Moments Children's Centre in Aldergrove they offer a wide variety of types of care, including daycare, preschool, before and after school care and drop-in care (phone first to find out if space is available). When children arrive, they are greeted by staff, who also speak with parents about what is happening in the child's life. Donna Nobbs, child care worker, said it is very important for staff to know what is happening with the children so they can respond accordingly. Things that happen at home, good or bad, will affect how a child will behave that particular day," she said. "A pet dying, or Grandparents visiting, will affect the child's mood, and we need to know that" The same applies when children leave the centre. Staff members talk with parents about what the child did and how she feels, so parents know what to expect If a child fell, had a disagreement with another child, or is happy that the seedling he planted has become a tree, it will affect bis mood at home. 'T think it's strange for parents not to know what their children have been doing all day, so we make a habit of telling parents what happened," said Nobbs. "Children need stability at a day care centre, and at home." The centre is geared to the development of children's creativity by doing things of particular interest to the children. 'If a child is interested in spiders, then we try to incorporate spiders into an activity in which all the children can participate," said Nobbs. "We also invite parents to visit whenever they can, because the family is a major part of every child's life." For discipline they use positive guidance - the logical, natural consequences of events. They use it to teach verbal communication, and respect for themselves, other people and things. Nobbs said that parents sometimes under estimate what is required for a quality, licensed daycare. "There are many, but not all, unlicensed centres that have problems such as overcrowding, and no insurance," she said. "Also many times when children are sent to neighbours houses, they watch TV all day and are even left alone. There is a definite advantage to a licensed daycare/ preschool centre." She said licensing requirements are strict and include such 10" Ivy Geraniums $999 10" Fuchsia - mixed & Af%- MeW Guinea. Reg.

Walk attracts 830 to the city LANGLEY - Blue skies and sunshine were the order for the day for the 830 participants in the 34th annual Langley Walk. The winners of the elementary school category were Otter Elementary in first place, and Willoughby Elementary came in second. The secondary school winners were Aldergrove Community Secondary School in first and Stafford Secondary School in sec-, ond place. The 17 members of the enthusiastic Leguerrier family won the category for the largest family entrants. The eldest walker prize was awarded to Irene Bowie, completing the walk at age 90. Langley Walk participants enjoyed a variety of entertainment in the afternoon at City Park. Music was provided by members of the Langley Concert Band and Aldergrove Community Secondary School Jazz Band. The children were entertained by William Whiskers, Rainbow Bird, the Cloverdale Rodeo Mascots, parachute games, face painting and with the creative activities area. The Kyokushin Karate Qub gave the crowd a high energy demonstration. Super Grizz, the Vancouver Grizzlies mascot, roamed the park signing autographs and growled pretty for photographs. Keg in the Country hosted a BBQ for all hungry walkers and volunteers. Many thanks to the secondary school students who volunteered their time, and to the Keg in the Country for providing them with a well deserved lunch. Canadian Springs provided water along the route for the thirsty walkers, and St. John's Ambulance provided emergency support and the RCMP Auxiliary provided traffic control.

It couldn't come at a more appropriate time as it will mark the 50th anniversary of the airport's operation under the Township of Langley. In a joint inauguration ceremony at the airport, mayor John Scholtens and Transport Canada regional director Mark Duncan turned the new security and operational lights on just after dark on May 2. With its new runway lighting the airport will remain open to 10 pm each evening. This will allow a consistent length of day that will help provide economic stability for Langley Airport businesses, particularly over winter months, and better access for the air tourist and recreational trade. Langley Airport has been identified by Transport Canada as an increasingly important general Remembrance LANGLEY - A Gathering of Remembrance will be held at 7 pm, Thursday, May 16, in the cafeteria of Langley Memorial Hospital. This gathering is jointiy sponsored by the Pastoral Care department of Langley Memorial Hospital and the Langley Hospice Society and it is one of the activities in Hospice Month. aviation "reliever" airport for the lower mainland. Up to the time of turning the lights on it will be the only night certifiable airport in Pacific Region not equipped with lights, and the only one without lights of 58 airports in Canada with control towers. Not any more. The $420,000 improvement, which includes security lighting and fencing will enhance the airport's attraction to new commercial investment and add even more to its growing private job market. Presendy the airport provides 145 jobs and a payroll over $5-million. Business gross at the airport in 1996 will top $25- million and local purchase of goods and services are significant Scholtens emphasized that the airport is completely sustained by its users. No municipal taxes are used to run the airport, yet airport businesses will currently contribute $70,000 to municipal taxes. The airport must raise its own revenue from fuel sales and leases to pay for its operation and maintenance and special capital projects such as airport lighting. The airport continues to operate in the black, and its budget is well managed to keep it that way, said Scholtens. "We are proud of our airport. It adds to the economy and attraction of our community, and at the same time pays its own way." Transport Canada under Federal Minister David Anderson of Victoria provided $120,000 towards the lighting project, and the remaining $300,000 was provided by the municipal Airport Reserve Fund made up of careful- ly saved revenue from airport sources. Night flying at Langley Airport is expected to have minimal impact on sound levels within the community. Primarily, night flying will occur over winter months and largely consist of arrivals and departures only. The majority of private aircraft owners will not fly at night as they will not have night endorsement, although some will now opt to obtain it. Commercial use would be in response to business dictates and comparative to the frequency of use already experienced over daylight evening hours in the summer. Only for a short time since opening for business in 1946, has night flying been conducted at Langley. That was for a short period "some years ago" by Skyways Air Services using flare pots. Airport oldtimers fondly recall those "good ol' days" but the majority now join the airport business community in embracing the new improvements at the airport as it comes of age as a leading progressive community airport.

The centre is once again located in the Canada Employment Centre, 20621 Logan Avenue. It is open weekdays from 9 am to 4:30 pm until mid-August Currendy there are two student employment officers, Kent Schmor and Traci Cleveland, who are university and college students. They look forward to providing job-related assistance to students looking for new work and to employers looking for summer staff. New to students is the federal program, Young Canada Works. Recent Canadian surveys reveal that most part-time employment does not provide students with opportunities to use the knowledge or cognitive skills they learn in school. In one survey, a mere nine percent of employed students report there being a connection between the skills they acquire in school and the skills required to perform job-related tasks. In federal efforts to combat this disturbing trend, Youth Canada Works will provide over 500 post-secondary students with hands-on training to build skills they've already learned in school through working in fields that relate to their studies. Furthermore, up to 350 high school students aged 16- 18 will have the opportunity to work in a variety of jobs in national parks and national historic sites across Canada for 8 to 10 weeks. Moreover, up to 250 summer jobs for Aboriginal urban youth will be available. The Langley Employment Centre for Students has more information on this great opportunity. Other continuing services offered through the Student Centre include the computerized Job- Banks, one of nine locations in the province which has this feature, job search skills advice, resume writing tips and interview techniques. "We have many great services that will save employers both time and money in hiring for summer help." said Schmor. "We are also an indispensable resource for any student or youth who is searching for summer employment" Students or employers seeking more information can call the centre at 534-8584. FIRST AID TIPS!

He said last year's experiences at organizing the event — his first stab at running one — gave him the insight to jjrevent some of the relatively minor mistakes he admits he made last year. '1 learned how to finetune some things. We'll also have a skills test on Saturday that will be sure to bring in big crowds." Of course, the best thing that could happen is a change in weather patterns. It seems like it j rains every Festival Days, but perhaps this community will get a break from the precipitation for a change. Lakusta said he's still accepting entries and invites enquiries to 856-9297.

The goal is to provide the children! of our community a fun but effective approach to self defense,: awareness and tactics. This event is open to all kids ages six and up, and will be approximately two hours in length. There is limited space due to the size of the facilities, but if the interest is as strong as anticipated, an additional workshop will be scheduled for May 23. Areas to be covered include: assertiveness, self defense skills, and safety precautions. It's important that children enjoy what they're learning, so the approach is in a fun and memorable manner. The keen young students in training, all of whom volunteered to help, are the ones who made this possible. For information and registration, call program coordinator Sonja Kristinsson, 534-5627. Wolfe's Hapkido is at Panorama Plaza, 104-19623-56 Avenue. Racing season in review SURREY - Pari-mutuel activity at Qoverdale Raceway grew by more than 10 percent this year, one of several significant achievements made during its 21 years of standardbred racing. The track witnessed an impressive growth this year in total waters. The total handle for the season jumped a dramatic $6-million, rising from last year's $56-million to $62- million in 1996, marking a nine percent increase. Season highlights included: • After serious illness, thirteen- year-old gelding Rebel Rebel sprang back for his 80th career win on March 29; • The half-mile Canadian Record was broken on April 7 by Winning Cheers, driven by Tim Brown with a time of 1:54.4; • Trainer Merla Anderson placed in the Canadian Top Ten Season's Leaders.

Rugby's coveted Dunbar Cup to the Fraser Valley Rugby league for the first time in almost a quarter century of competition. The Fraser Valley U-23 all-star team sits in first place, having already defeated bodi Vancouver and Vancouver Island earlier this rugby season. Now the final playoff .game to decide the Cup winner will take place at 1 pm at Abbotsford when the Valley hosts Vancouver Island's U-23 all-star side. "It has been a mixed up year for representative rugby Cup competition," said Fraser Valley head coach Walt Brandl. "We had a long cold winter when games were cancelled, and then this spring the BC Rugby Union was embarrassed when Vancouver and Vancouver Island failed to play their scheduled game in late March," added Brandl, who is also head coach for Bumaby. Some members of the Valley team attended a Canada team assessment camp at UBC on the weekend and have been asked to take part in B.C. team trials this weekend in North Vancouver but excused by B.C. seniors coach Dave Brown because of the clash with the Dunbar final. "Our players will especially appreciate the consideration given by Brown,", said Malcolm Turn- bull, manager of the Valley team. "He too has a job in trying to pick players for the best team possible for B.C., and the mix-ups getting this final Cup game played has not aided his efforts either," added Turnbull, who has won medals for Canada in another sport Because the game was not played on the designated date, the VaUey team has already lost four starting players. The Valley starting fifteen and spares will be named Wednesday. Players from the Tri-City area in the running for starting slots are lock forward Doug Brown and hooker Andrew Castro, both from the Pocomo Club, prop forward Lee Ashdown, from the Douglas Club, lock Tyler James, scrum half Derek Eckert, prop Steve Sawchuk, and fullback Kory Kawaguchi all from Burnaby. "The delays and changes have been very hard on this team, which has now lost a prop, a lock and a center back and last week its scrum half Nick Milau." Milau a SFU student from White Rock's Bayside Club could not wait around any longer or he would have lost his Prince George area summer job. Other players from White Rock and Surrey are standoff Jordi Cook, center Geoff Mclntyre, fullback Joe Haley and eighth man Mark Irvine, all from Bayside, and center back Rob Brown from Surrey. Carrying the torch LANGLEY - Be one of 100,000 Canadians to carry the Canadian Paralympic torch during the Royal LePage Why Not. Marathon for the Paralympics.

Two players from Langley, winger Jason Warnick and lock Malcolm MacDonald are in the running for positions as are flanker Joel Gnmolfson and hook Herbi Rai of Richmond. Following the Dunbar Cup final the Valley U-23 development team travels to the prairies on May 17 for a feature game against Alberta's provincial U-23 team to be played at Edmonton's annual Rugby Fest Valley high school rugby coaches predict this Saturday's Cup final will be entertaining rugby. Abbotsford high school coaches Mike Schmid, a Canadian national seven-a-side player and Steve Rowell, said the game offers Valley high school rugby players a chance to see all-star rugby by B.C.'s top sub-union developmental teams. "Both teams have many players with high skill levels," said Rowell, who captained Abbotsford's 1996 Div. 3 first place Valley team. "I expect a fast and entertaining game particularly because a number of players on both sides are expected to be playing for Canada within two years," said Schmid. Registration forms for this summer's two week Fraser Valley high school rugby camp to be held in Abbotsford will also be available at the Cup game. A number of top Canadian coaches are to attend the high school camp to be held in two parts - July 8 to July 12, and July 15 to July 19, Rowell explained. The coaches included Canada's National Team Coach Ian Birtwell, Barry Legh, B.C.'s senior men's development coach, B.C. senior coach David Brown, plus Spencer Robinson and Mrs. Ruth Brown, coach and assistant coach of B.C.'s senior women's fifteen.
