-—— - PUBLIC SAFETY IGNORED, SAYS MP l * - k "Refugee" back on the streets VANCOUVER - Tlie immigration board has appansrtly overturned its decision that illegal' alien Jose Selinas-Mendoza is a danger to society. | He is tlie man who had sexual assault charges dropped against him last year on the promise that he be deported to El Salvador, and was discovered back in Canada six months later. He was arrested and detained pending a refugee hearing and many people, including Randy White, MP for Fraser Valley West, say that allowing this to happen is an absolute "catastrophe" for Canadians. The sexual assault charges have been re-instated and Men- doza will be appearing in court on June 6 to face tlie charges. His refugee hearing is scheduled for August 18. On Friday, June 17, Daphne Shaw Dyck, an immigration and refugee board adjudicator, had ordered Mendoza held in custody until' his hearing, saying that he posed a threat to society. One week later, another adjudicator, Lynda Mackie, who, according to White, had more information on Mendoza's past crimi nal behaviour than Dyck, declared that he is not a (danger to the public and allowed him to be released pending his hearings. This decision has angered the citizens of Matsqui (where tlie assault took place), who have rallied together to form a citizen's group to have him deported for good. The group, along with White, plan tb attend all hearings regarding tlie case and make their concerns known. "This is an atrocity to all women in tlie community," said White. "It's also an insult to the intelligence of all law abiding cit- Indy racer Ross Bentley was on hand at Tradex to help promote this weekend's fourth race in the Pacific Northwest Gold Cup Series at Abbotsford Airport, along with Westwood Karting Association's young bright light, Kristopher Rutledge and his buddy, Sarah. Bentley said karters like Rutledge are where Canada's future international level racers will come from, and the association has seen enormous growth in membership since 1991 despite the lack of a home track since Westwood's closure. More than 300 karters of all ages from the region are expected July 1-3, and admission is free - see stories, photos inside. -Kurt Langmann photo Fireworks a "first" MATSQUI - For tlie first time in years, Central Fraser Valley residents will be treated to a fireworks display as part of the Canada Day celebrations. Sponsored by die new AM radio station, 85 Radio MAX, the fireworks show will be staged at Centennial Park, next to Mill Lake, shortly after 10 p.m. The show promises to wrap up Canada Day with a bang. It will be produced by Bill Bartsch, who stages tlie fireworks display for Agrifair. Bartscli's Vancouver partner produces the Benson and Hedges fireworks program, Symphony of Fire, each summer. The radio Max fireworks show will be tlie finale to a day of celebrations Organized by tlie local Canada Day Committee, including parades and special events. As a part of tlie evening celebrations, 85 Radio MAX is also sponsoring die first annual Canada Day "Show and Shine" car show. Cars and trucks from all over tlie Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland are invited to Matsqui's Centennial Park for die show, starting at 7 p.m. The special interest cars include classics, street rods and muscle cars. Members of die public can get a close look at diese vehicles. Tlie evening will be accompanied by good time rock 'n' roll music from 85 Radio MAX. CANADA! izens diat this guy is allowed to stay here." After having Mendoza deported, White plans to go after odier illegal criminal refugees. White -says these people keep getting deported, keep coming back and keep getting anodier chance. "Enough is enough. It's time now to change die laws, and if we can't change diem, dien we have to change die people who let tiiem out. We have to look at how people are doing their jobs," he said. "Someone has got to be accountable, whedier it's politicians, parole board members or immigration adjudicators. "People are getting hurt by convicts on parole, or awaiting court dates, and that's unacceptable," he said. White also said diat although die success rates of tlie immigration and parole boards are high, it's litde consolation tb victims . He is urging people to take action against diis injustice by calling and writing to everyone diey can at all levels of government. He said that citizens must keep hollering loud and clear until the government takes die right actions in protecting die public.

MURRAYVILLE - A 100-page {e^, port on the quality of drinking .water from die Greater VancoiiVjgt. ■ region has brought confusion to local politicians here. "The public is confused and I am confused," said Coun. Steve Ferguson. In an answer to Coun. Heather McMullan, Ferguson said diat contrary to his colleague's beliefs die public was very much concerned about the cost of new government initiatives. "They, and I, are concerned whenever die tax bill arrives," he added. McMullan had just expressed die opinion diat "die public is not concerned about costs, so why should we be? They want ozone treatment (of die water)." Councilors were discussing the report and how they should respond to diis at die end of a long meeting. Coun. Trudi Campen, who is the local council's representative on die regional board, said she did not know how to react to die report. The controversy revolves around how the region's water supplies should be treated: by oxidation, chlorination or die use of chloramine. "The public perceives diat chlorinatjon is not a good diing, and dien it is not a good thing," said Campen. Industrial giant to build ALDERGROVE - One of the world's industrial giants is coming to Aldergrove. Township council this week issued a development permit to General Motors of Canada for a 12.1-acre parcel'ihside the Gloucester industrial estate. Company will be building a parts distribution facility and 140,000 square foot ware house on die site. Future expansion of tlie facility is also seen. Construction is expected to start immediately. It is a multi-billion dollar project tiiat is outlined in the report, and one which would financially affect taxpayers heavjijHkfliiough- out the region. Several councilors suggested that a compromise must be found. "We can bankrupt all (die taxpayers) and dien nobody would be happy," said Coun. Steve Burton. "It has to be a combination of cost and health." Recommendations from the township's engineering department suggested diat councilors accept portions of the regional report but reject odiers. Pat Anderson's advice was that Langley agree to an upgrade of chlorine primary and secondary treatment facilities and to construct corrosion control facilities. This would mean lower costs and an expected increase in chlorinous taste and odor of the water. The region's water committee will consider the options at a meeting in Burnaby today. "This (Anderson's recommendations) is a compromise," said Campen. "We must have safe drinking water." Ferguson said he saw it all as more of "a political decision." And finally, using an allegory, Mayor John Scholtens agreed widi Campen. "If everyone drove seven miles an hour down the highway," he said, "we wouldn't have a single fatality." And if everyone insisted on fail-safe protection no matter die cost, there wouldn't be any problems either. It lias been argued that by adding more chemicals to the water we would be killing off our fish populations. "This is a sober, healthy decision," Scholtens added. Ferguson and McMullan didn't agree.

Media relations officer, Geofgfe Leukefeld said that on June 17 "A young Matsqui resident accepted a ride from an acquaintance.

Shortly after- Belmont appeal heard MURRAYVILLE - Owners of the new Belmont golf Course at Fort Langley have approached district council in order to" obtain permission to install new pumps at die confluence of die Salmon and Fraser rivers. One of the owners, told councilors here diis week diat they fear prolonged flooding of the Salmon plain whenever the Fraser crests, which diey estimate will happen perhaps every two to diree years. Tlie present flood control pumps are not capable of handling such a situation, he said, and if flooding occurs for more dian 72 hours in a row die grass on die- fairways will die. This would mean reseeding and a closing " down of the golf course for several mondis, he said. "Ttwi^ municipality is not responsible," said Coun. Muriel Arnason. H^' The delegate said die golf course would be willing to pay for die installation of new and larger pumps, but he also added diat die fisheries department would not necessarily allow die use of these whenever there is spawning in die river. Councilors asked if consultants hadn't advised of die possibility of frequent flooding before die golf course was built, and die representative said diey had not.

The accused has a criminal record which includes previous incidents of violence and murder, noted Leukefeld. MURRAYVILLE - This week, township mayor John Scholtens and recreation commissioner Audrey Wright presented die Pete Swensson memorial trophy for 'Outstanding Community Youth' to Angie Carey of Aldergrove secondary school. Award is presented annually to a student between grades eight and 12 attending a Langley. school. Award is in memory of Pete Swensson who was an avid sports enthusiast and community leader. He was especially dedicated to promoting a healthy living for young people and coached many to international stardom. Swensson was also Langley's first recreation director and die originator of the Langley Walk. An outstanding athlete himself, Swensson represented his native Sweden in die decathlon at the Olympic games and was a national record holder for many years. Commissioners made their selection based on criteria which would have been embraced by Swensson: athletic achievements, scholastic efforts, community involvement and personal qualities. Carey's performance has been exemplary in all diese areas, said Wright. She has been on die honor roll at Aldergrove secondary since grade eight and is the only athlete to have won 'adi- lete of the year* every year since dien in the history of tier school. Her sports interests range from gymnastics, volleyball, soccer, track and field, badminton and rugby to cross country skiing. She has participated on 18 teams since grade eight and been selected 'most valuable player' for nine of die teams and a runner- up in four. She volunteered spare time to her school and community. In school she officiated regularly and was recognized for her maturity and sound judgment which helped foster a positive attitude among die competitors. And in die community Carey volunteered in a visitation program with seniors at Jackman Manor. "It was her good natured enthusiasm that was most outstanding," Wright said. "And she brought much joy to die life of a blind gendeman she visited." Carey was one of four young people who were nominated for diis year's award. Tlie others were Jamie Hellewell of Credo Christian, Scott Peach of Brookswood secondary and Colin Wenman of Langley secondary. Certificates of merit were presented to all four.

SALISH SUCKER AMONG CONCERNS Storm drains are young students' first priority ALDERGROVE - Have you seen tlie yellow fish? It means diat what goes down a storm drain will end up in our streams, potentially harming aquatic habitat. Every time it rains, poisonous substances such as oil, gasoline, driveway sealer and lawn chemicals are washed into storm drains. In Aldergrove, storm drains empty direcdy into Bertrand Creek. Bertrand Creek is home to several salmonid species, including Coho, Steelhead and Cutdiroat Trout, as well as the endangered Salish Sucker (which lives in only diree streams in die world; Bertrand Creek in Aldergrove is one of diem). The habitat of diese fish is being degraded by pollution from storm drains. Spreading urbanization is putting increased pressure on Bertrand Creek. School children from some. Aldergrove elementary schools are helping to protect Bertrand Creek by participating in die storm drain marking program. Tlie program was developed four years ago by die Salmonid enhancement division of die Department of Fisheries and Oceans, B.C. Ministry of Environment and die B.C. Conservation Program. Municipalities from around the lower mainland are participating in the program. The storm drain marking program involves painting yellow fish on die pavement beside storm drains, and handing out information brochures door to door. The goal is to remind Aldergrove residents diat storm THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JUNE 29. 1994 drains empty into fish habitat, and to offer tips on protecting our creeks and rivers. On June 20, 21 and 22, four- classes from Betty Gilbert and Shortreed Elementary Schools were out painting yellow fish on die storm drains in their community. These children succeeded in marking over 200 drains; the majority of Aldergrove town core soudi of die Fraser Highway. These children are learning about environmental issues, as well as playing a crucial role in protecting Bertrand Creek. In Aldergrove, the storm drain marking program is being coordinated for die spring and summer by environmental science coop student Lisa Fleming. The program will continue diroughout die summer with interested groups. For more information, contact Lisa at 856-8383- Bertrand Creek represents an important ecological resource, widi die potential to support a wide range of fish, wildlife and natural vegetation.

Immigration officials have'deported ChaHes Dennis Martin,*!"!, ten times since 1987, and he's also served a couple of stretches in Matsqui Institution. Martin, originally from Kentucky, has a criminal record diat includes break and entry, dieft, possession of narcotics and being unlawfully at large. Martin's last sentence in Canada was a fine of $30,000 or a year in jail, and he chose the latter. He was last deported on June 10 and was rearrested here six days later. He is in custody of immigration I officials, awaiting an inquiry whicli has not had a date set yet. cusing on. speeders from June 27 to July 4. The campaign is keyed to the Canada Day Long weekend in order to remind drivers to slow down during July and August, the months in which the highest number of people are killed and injured in traffic crashes. Police will increase enforcement of die limit by setting up -additional speed checks at high- accident locations and by being less tolerant of drivers who exceed the.lUhit. On several major routes, including the Trans Canada and Coquilialla highways, aircraft patrols will supplement ground-level enforcement activities. I CBC and community traffic safety groups point out that wrecked vehicles, personal in juries and deaths are frequent consequences of too much speed on tlie road. During the campaign, community groups will be operating speed-reader boards provided by ICBC in playground zones and other selected locations throughout the province. The reader boards are battery-operated radar which publicly display a vehicle's speed as it passes, remolding .drivers if Uieir speed has crept over the limit. Police may be on hand to ticket speeding drivers in some jurisdictions. During the last year, nearly 431,000 speeding convictions were recorded. More Uian 17,000 of those were for excessive speed, which is defined as exceeding die posted limit by 40 kilometres per hour or more.

By MONIQUE GALAZKA There is a rumour circulating diat some Vancouver store owners whose shops were vandalised during die Stanley Cup riot are planning to sue die city for damages, claiming diat die city didn't do a good enough job of protect ing their shops. I don't understand. They got robbed and tbe city is responsi- " We?- It has already been somewhat determined that die criminal element of die night was prearranged and organized to coincide with the riot as protection for die thieves. Tlie hockey fans were not responsible for all die damage. Some damage did occur, but most people just wanted to celebrate and party, and shop owners just got unlucky. Every Friday night, especially during die summer, cars widi boom boxes blasting, regularly cruise up and down die strip to see and be seen. It's a Vancouver ritual. The only difference this time was diat die crowd was a litde larger dian usual and could hide die criminal element. Odier than diat die night was no different than any odier, and shop owners wanting to hold die city responsible are being really stupid. Many took dieir own precautions, such as removing valuables and breakables from window displays and boarding up windows, which was good because protection of one's business, home and self are the responsibility of the individual. The «city is no more responsible for die damage done during die not than I am. Myself, I did not want to be part of what I suspected could be an ugly situation, so I stayed home. However, if I had a store on Robson street, not only would I have removed valuables and boarded my windows, I would have been in my store (or standing right in front) widi my • very large, menacing dog. Just try and rob my store. You'll find out quickly how much pain a rotweiller named Killer can inflict. At any given time there is potential tor damage or theft to occur at any store. If one of those stores on Robson Street gets robbed tonight, is the owner going to blame die city? If my car gets stolen while I'm writing diis can I blame the city, even though I don't live here? There are not enough police officers to watch every residence, business, auto and person in this city, and anyone who thinks dieir New citizens welcomed at the fort FORT LANGLEY- On July 1, die township of Langley will once again have the honour of hosting a Court of Canadian Citizenship on the grounds of historic Fort Langley.

Security in any form is up to the owners of the property. Those store owners just want to blame someone for dieir losses but, really, diey have no one blame but diemselves.

That's what insurance is for. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We have to look after ourselvesl Euitor, Tlie Star, Sir, It is hardly likely diat Aldergrove town will receive a priority for expansion from either Matsqui or Langley councils. I can recall that even 20 years ago as retiring mayor of Matsqui I suggested that Aldergrove should have a population target of at least 25,000. Tlie dien mayor of Langley publicly asked me to mind my own business. What is really required is a new municipality encompassing Aldergrove, Aberdeen, Bradner, Mt. Lehman, Jubilee, East Langley and Glen Valley. Presently West Matsqui and East Langley receive very little from their respective councils because all consideration is given to re-development of the urban areas of Matsqui and Langley. This re-development to 15 to 16 storey high rises is leading to chaos. A new "In Between" municipality would permit die residents to focus on its needs diat have been long neglected by Matsqui and Langley. Tlie leadership in Matsqui view Mount Lehman as a "mistake" and as I see it, so does Langley view Aldergrove! These two pioneer areas deserve more attention and should take the matter in their own hands. I would be interested in your comments. DOUGLAS TAYLOR Former Alderman & Mayor of Matsqui, Mount Lehman Think about it... Editor, The Star, Sir, I would like to express my concerns about the parenting skills of Aldergrove. As a parent of five children, I am appalled at the lack of supervision, curfews, and general "uncaring" of children. When a child comes into my home for dinner or an overnight visit I personally contact the parents myself to make sure it's o.k. with them. Recently my 15 year old has run away and parents in Aldergrove are letting her stay in their homes. Not one has contacted me to say she is diere or to check if it is o.k. Why? Do par ents today really not care, or do they just not have the common sense they were born with? Yes, my daughter is going through a rebellious stage, but who didn't? So as parents we need to stick togedier and communicate widi each odier to help the youth of today grow into caring and responsible citizens of the safety of my daughter. So if your child brings anodier home and says it's o.k. to sleep over, check with die parents yourself. As an adult show some responsibility, please! j. OWING.S Aldergrove. Stand on guard... Editor, The Star, Sir, Hurrah to Minister of Fisheries, Brian Tobin. It was my pleasure to hear Mr. Tobin interviewed twice on CBC Radio in die past two days, and applaud his sincere belief in Canadian sovereignty. I am so excited to be a Canadian and I find our "cowing down" to our neighbors to die south very demeaning. We are die luckiest people in die entire world and have a great deal of international support. Let's quit letting the United States push us around. The U.S. is in major default of die salmon treaty. It's time we took a stand on our fisheries, be- fore we have no fish at all. Overfishing the agreement by some 8,000,000 fish is totally unacceptable. Our tax dollars are going into salmon enhancement for die Americans that have heavily dammed die Columbia River, ruining dieir major salmon spawning river. Thank you, Mr. Tobin for getting Canada on its feet in response to American demands. In closing, my one criticism is that die new tariff his much too low. I think $10,000 to $30,000 would be appropriate. S&i? JACCI EIDICK, Port Coquitlam Recall a sham Editor, The Star, Sir, Tlie NDP's proposal for recall is a huge contradiction in terms. Asking the electorate of a riding to formally reject Cwith 40% of die votes) die same person they originally elected widi about 30% or 35% of the votes under our first- past-the-post system, seems to be adding injury to insult. Many of die present MLAs have been elected with more than 60% of die people voting against diem. I would contend that this means that in die next election, many "elected" MLAs should be considered to be "instandy recalled" by die very fajct of dieir election. Recall in any form is not the answer to the glaring inequities of our electoral system: It's no more dian a band-aid. Only a mixed member proportional electoral system, as proposed by die Campaign for Electoral Reform, does what first-past-die-post can never do: it makes every vote count, in every election. Recall then becomes redundant. For more information on CFER, call 8<3«3-2475 or fax 882-5024.

JUNE 29, 1994 White Sox take peewee championship 7-1 ALDERGROVE - PeeWee baseball wound up this week with an exciting round of playoffs and championship finals. In an unusual format, the six teams were divided into two sides according to their placement at the end of regular league play. The 1st place White Sox, 3rd place Speedy Auto Glass Wolverines and 5th place Royal Canadian Legion #265 Blue Devils formed side "A". On side "B" were lhe 2nd place Rockies, 4th place Microcorp Athletics and 6th place Midnight Express Trucking Blue Flames. Each team would play the other two teams of their side (A or B). Where necessary, ties in standings would be decided by the run differencial. The teams on each side would advance to the A, B or C final according to their record. Playoff scores A's: White Sox vs Midnight Express Blue Devils 5-3, Blue Devils vs Speedy Auto Glass Wolverines 11-8; White Sox vs Wolverines 18-12. Therefore the White Sox with two wins advance to the "A" final, Blue Devils' one win puts them in the "B" final and the Wolverines play the "C" final. Playoff scores B's: Rockies vs Midnight Express Blue Flames 21- 4| Blue Flames vs Microcorp Athletics 21-15, Athletics vs Rockies 11-9. With this series ending one loss and one tie apiece the run differential came into play. The Rockies advanced to the "A" final with an overall RD of +15, the Microcorp Athletics move to the "B" final with an RD of -4, and the Midnight Express Trucking Blue Flames go to the "C" final with an RDof-11. The "C" .final between the Wolverines and the Blue Flames has been postponed to Thursday. The "B" final very nearly «came to be awarded to the Blue Devils by default as three of the Athletics had a sleep-over/sleep-in and had to be rousted out of bed 10 minutes before game time and rushed to the game still fumbling with their uniforms.

The Royal Canadian Legion *265 Blue Devils and the Microcorp Athletics, two evenly matched teams, always close throughout the season in standings, were to put on a good show, forcing an eighth inning to break a 16 all tie. Ben Eldridge, starting off the pitching for the Athletics, and Frank Cole for the Blue Devils, each had three runs in on the first inning and then held on for a no- run second. The third inning saw five runs come in for the Devils and three for the Athletics. A tough inning for the Athletics in the fourth, as new pitcher Paul Daley had trouble settling in, and along with a bout of lax fielding, the Devils were able to bring LEADER BICYCLES Made in Canada Quality Products at Reasonable Prices From Tricycles to Adult Bicycles for the Entire Family OVER 800 BIKES IN STOCK THE BIKE SHOP DIVISION OF JANCOR INDUSTRIES LTD.

Wes Halliday, stepping in to pitch for the Devils had an excellent fourth inning, having only one run come in before striking out three batters to end the inning with a 14-7 advantage. The Athletics woke up in the fifth after a pep talk from coach Don Betts. Paul, back on the mound, and with the help of some great infield plays managed to hold the Devils to a single run and then shut them down in the sixth, while it was the Devils turn to have a run of bad luck. Wes, still pitching for the Devils had five runs come in as the fielders couldn't get a glove on the Athletics' hits in the fifth. Then another two scored in the sixth to drop the Devils lead to one. Wes got a walk off of Paul at the top of the seventh then managed to steal to third. Danny Tambosso hitting a fly ball out to left field was caught out by Athletics' Jesse Hawkins, but Wes was able to tag up and make it home before the ball was brought in. Jeff Bradburn's fly to center Was caught out by Ryan Clark, then Jesse caught another fly to left field off Frank Cole for the third -Tim Attwood photo out. In turn, Paul coming first to bat against Wes at the bottom of the seventh hit a double, stole third ths^n was hit home by Ryan Clark, .next at bat. John Rahe was sent to first after being hit by a pitch, moving Ryan to second. The two each stole the next base, then as Matt Snyder was called out on his hit to the Devils' first baseman, John took third and Ryan was called out at home after running down the catcher. Jared Deglan's first base hit brought John home for the tying run. Then Wes struck out Natalie Araki to end the seventh inning 16-16 and force a deciding eight inning. As by playoff rul«ss, a pitsdier is only allowed a maximum of four innings per game, new pitchers were brought in for both teams. Jared Deglan for the Athletics was in top form with three up, three down, as he proceeded to strike out Bill Sanford, Shane Grovue and George Richmond. Danny Tambosso, on the mound for the Blue Devils fared nearly as well, as Jeff Steer, up first for the Athletics hit an infield fly to the glove of first baseman, Bill Sanford. Danny then struck out Jesse Hawkins and walked Ben Eldridge. Ben stole second and third, then made it home for the winning run on an overthrow, as the catcher tried to peg him out. Batter Paul Daley was left standing at the plate with a count of two and two as the Microcorp Athletics took the game 17-16. ATHLETICS 17. ab J. Steer 6 J. Hawkins 6 B. Eldridge 6 P. Daley R.

The "A" Final was purely a battle between the pitchers with neither the infield nor the outfield seeing a lot of action. The White Sox, going into the game undefeated throughout the regular season were nevertheless given a good run by the Rockies, who ended the season a close second. Tim Timmons, first on the mound for the White Sox had only a single run come in on him as Marc Windle scored a base hit, stole to third, then was later hit home by Dallas Strelic. Dallas was later picked off at third on a throw from the mound. Tim thereafter proceeded to shut down any further scoring attempts by the Rockies over the next two innings by striking out six batters and leaving Greg Benson, the only batter tb get a walk off him stranded on second. Aubrey Smith and David Joseph managed to connect with his pitch but never made it to first. Please see page 7... FIRST AID TIPS!

The Knights were determined that this team was not going to beat them again. The teams played evenly with goals by Norm Moss and Brace Williams for Langley while Vancouver evened die score and then added a tally in tlie dying minutes of the first period to pull ahead 3-2.

Aubrey Smith, on the mound for the Rockies for the first four innings came away with only five runs scored against him. First to bat for the White Sox was-Steve Fauth, hitting a single to left field. Ryan Rutherford made it to base on balls. Then Tim Timmons infield hit, snapped up by the shortstop and sent to first ahead of Tim brought Steven home. Colin Kasper made it to first on balls and was brought home along with Ryan on a homerun hit by Jeff Herd. Starting off the second inning, Mike.Dlenka was walked to first, stole to third and made it home on an overthrow. Aubrey was able to shut the White Sox down for the remainder of the second inning and the whole of the third and fourth with a combination of great pitching and a little help from his team mates, thus holding the score to 5-1. Jeff Herd pitched the remaining four innings for the White Sox without allowing a single run. The Rockies were clearly intimidated by his speed and deadly accuracy as only three at bats made it to a full count. Jeff stnrck out all three batters in the fourth inning and the first two of the fifth before Luke Hartley was able to connect. The infield hit was snapped up by the third baseman and Luke was out at first. Mike Haber, stepping up to the mound for the Rockies in the fifth, struck out the White Sox' first two batters, and thanks to the quick hand of his third baseman, the White Sox batter, Steve Fauth never made it to base. Ryan Rutherford hit a single as first to bat in the sixth and was later brought home on Jeff Herd's second homerun hit of the game. With two previous outs and a third to follow on a strike-out^ these two runs would prove the be the last. First up to bat for the Rockies in the sixth was Greg Benson, who popped an infield-fly off of Jeff straight to the glove of the third baseman. The next two batters were struck out as were the first two of the seventh inning. The Rockies only scoring chance was left standing on third as Marc Windle made it to first on balls and stole around to scoring position. Mike Haber valiantly stood in the batters box and managed to pop up a couple of fouls before being struck out. Jeff Herd, incredibly talented for his age, would probably have been more at home playing a division up. Thus ended the game 7-1 with the championship going to the White Sox.

JUNE 29. 1994 Track thrills a pure rush By KURT LANGMANN MATSQUI - lt was an irresistible challenge, coming even on a deadline Tuesday, could ■ anyone say no to racing against. Ross Bentley's track time to win prizes? Would that provid* an adrenalin rush for an laidback, overweight, 40 year old journalist? Oo kids like ice cream? The offer came from West- wood Kan ing Association, in promotion of this weekend's fourth race in the Pacific Northwest Gold Cup Series, to be held July 1-3 at Tradex's parking lot inside Abbotsford Airport. These, days, Bentley is making his name, in a '93 Lola chassis equipped with Ford Cosworth XB engine, but as he pointed out Tuesday, he started out as a "karter." And despite tlie lack of a home track for tlie karters since Westwood was turned into suburbia in '91, Bentley figures Canada's future racing greats will come through the karting circuit. Two of these potential stars were on hand, Tuesday: Kristopher Rutledge, 9 of Vancouver and Claudia Val- iante, 17 of Burnaby, Both told The Star diat they loved the social and recreational aspects of karting, but Viliante said the biggest rash was "definitely the competitive aspect." The kails diemselves are quite die marvels, standing less dian an inch off terra firma. Equipped widi 100 cc engines, centrifugal clutch and a single disc brake on the rear axles, they start fast and stop even taster on the wide slick tires. I've never liked or trusted automatic transmissions and ~have made a point of never owning one before, so I had a bit of trouble mentally adapting to not being able to gear down going into curv«es. There are karts equipped widi five speeds, but none of these were available for die media challenge. "Don't feather die pedals," an experienced karter told me. "Work the gas flat out for best response. Don't worry about flipping the kart; it's almost impossible unless you hit someUiing diat sends you flying. The worst that'll happen is you'll whip around 360 degrees." Bendey set die pace and he was an inspiration to watch. I watched him like a hawk and tried to pick up pointers but I could see that a novice like myself was not going to handle a kart rocketing around die hairpin widi its wheels bouncing off die tarmac like Bentley's did. He had the touch. We all had to don overalls, gloves, neckbrace and helmets, just in case. Then we clambered inside the open cockpit, and it was a snug fit. Down went the visor and pit crews slid die starters into die engines... va- room! and you're off like die proverbial bat out of hell. At die speeds we were 'going, upwards of 40 mph on the straight stretch (diis weekend's races will use die entire parking lot and speeds up to 80 mph), concentration is paramount. Your eyes are glued to the padi ahead through die pylons and thankfully we were Moore fifth, but still second in points PORTLAND, OR - Teenage racer Greg Moore of Maple Ridge, maintains second place in the PPG Firestone Indy Lights championship after a race diat saw Moore clock the fastest time on the track at die Portland International Raceway. Heads turned as Moore raced lor position after qualifying sixth on the grid following a weekend of car trouble. (He was towed from the track after one qualifying session). He rebounded in practice june 2b, clocking the fastest time.overall. During die race, Moore overtook third place Eddie Lawson on Lap 29, but briefly lost control in Turn 9 to drop back to fourth. The fastest lap of the race was logged by Moore nine laps later, on the second last lap, but a last lap spin as he again went to overtake Lawson saw him subsequently passed by Steve Robertson, who .had been running' fifth. "I was trying to push harder, to go fastef,* says Moore, "and I ngtiess I just went in too hot and locked up my rear brakes." "Moore ran a great fast and aggressive race," commented one Racers head for Mission fi MISSION - The Raceway's drag, racing takes the spotlight again this weekend widi a full schedule. The action will Mclude die popular Quick 8, sponsored by Cummins Diesel and Peterbilt Trucks. Also on hand will be the Super Street cars plus die Sears Craftsman Coca Cola E.T. series and the Hot Rod class. The program gets under way with time trials and qualifying at 9 a.m. bodi Saturday and Sunday. The finals go al noon Sunday. • • journalist. "He was certainly the most entertaining driver out there; the crowd was rooting for him." Journalists also recalled Moore's feat, at last year's Portland race when die then 18- ;'Ygar old rookie punctured a tire on the first lap, returned to the *t{a$k dead last dien blew by die field to finish third. The next lndy Lights event is in Cleveland, July 10, and dien the Molson Indy Toronto the following week, July 17. Moore races in his home town of Vancouver at the Molson Indy Vancouver, September 4. Moore is driving die white *99 Lola Buick widi Vancouver, Canada, emblazoned on its side as he carries die Pride of Vancouver to international rac- -i»g" limited to two on the track at a time. It was tricky anticipating what die other driver might do — a pair of media types took a thumping when one spun out and die odier failed to slow down in time to avoid a crash, and die latter also got a lecture on how diese weren't bumper cars ~ and it must be a real challenge when diere's a number of odier racers on die track. Reaction time is measured by hairs of seconds, and the margins for error are unforgiving. I roared down the straight, getting a feel for driving widi centrifugal clutch when I took die first .corner, and pushed the throt- de dirough it. It was something I'd hever done before, or would ever try widi a road vehicle ~ you'd be sure of either a quick death or a painfilled life doing diis widi anything but a kart. The next set of curv<?s were trickier, but I kept die dirottle down until die hairpin was nearing. Easing off, then gunning dirough die corner, I was feeling pretty confident of myself, and prompdy spun out for a wild 360 back at die first curve. Instant karma... After a few more practice spins, we did die time trials, widi Bendey setting an impressive 15-385 seconds. Next up was a fellow from Z95 Radio who managed to shave a hair off Bendey's time ~ but he had some experience widi a 440 at Tsawassen under Ills belt. My turn came near die last of the dozen "racers" diere, and I sneaked a look to find out that I'd managed, what was for me, a hair-raising 18.115 seconds. It was no small pleasure to hear my name called out afterwards for die sixdi plaos prize, a Molson Indy cap, and a shake of Bendey's hand. I diink I've acquired a taste for what Viliante called die "competitive rash." I probably won't spend $3,500 on a kart and anodier $1,000 for a season of racing diis year, but I'm already looking forward to taking on next year's media challenge. LetSs do this again, folks! One last word: this type of driving is stricdy for sanctioned or approved events on proper tracks ~ or in die case of karting, closed-off parking lots — and I deplore motorheads who try diis kind of driving on public roads or open parking lots. Public roads are for all, and those who need die dirill of racing should seriously consider becoming a karter, or else taking die prized monster truck down to Mission's quarter mile track, where it's legal and safe to let 'er rip. Street racing kills, and it's often the innocent too. 0 I m I l 1 i i MSIlJSM@J@MSI3J3M@ISM3f@M@MBM Dr. Cameron D.Smith, B.Sc, M.D. Family Physician is pleased to announce vSthe opening (finally!)|i of his medical office.^ 530-5052 201 - 22242 - 48th Avenue, Langley B.C.

It may sound like a recipe for •traffic mayhem, but according to organizers at Westwood Karting Association it's a plan for family fun and friendly competition. More, than 300 kart racers from B.C., Alberta, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California will descend on tlie Tradex grounds rtfis Friday, July 1 to Sunday, July 3 for tlie Westwood Gold Cup races. One of the top competitors is 17-year-old Claudia Viliante of Burnaby. A former promising ballet dancer, Valiante turned to kart racing when leg injuries forced her off stage. Valiante won tlie Tri Gities Gold Cup in ^fashington on May 29, only her second outing as a senior. She beat 19 odier drivers - all males and all much older, she notes with obvious delight - to the chequered flag. Each member of her family is involved in die Westwood Association; her 14- year-old brodier Michael is a fellow racer, her father serves as pit crew and her mother is active in club administration. Kristopher Rutiedge, nine, of ^fiest Vancouver is expected to be among die front runners in die junior classes. Rutledge is the top westwood Karting racer in his^se*' ries, and among die top diree in his dass in Gold Cup racing. Rudedge follows in the footsteps: of his 16-year-old brother, David, also an active karter. His parents work in die pits, and younger siblings aged seven, six and two are fans. "Karting is a sport diat almost anybody can take part in and our club has always made an effort to promote family participation," says VCfestwood Karting spokesman George Rickman of North Vancouver. "Many of die young racers' parents work in the pits and diey spend many hours working togedier to maintain dieir vehicles. In die process, die kids learn a lot about discipline, team work and responsibility and get to share dieir racing interest widi odier members of die family." The Westwood Gold Cup is die fourth race in die seven-event Pacific Northwest Gold Cup series, lt is sanctioned by die International Karting Federation. Tlie event begins widi open practice on Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, practice goes from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., time trials 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and races begin at 1 p.m. Admission is free (parking is $1.) and food and refreshments are available.

The program originally began in a small preschool in Richmond where the principal was trying to teadi kids to share. Each child saved one of their toys to give to another child who was lacking, and it was decided that die bag of toys collected would be sent to an orphanage in die Ukraine. When word of what was happening got out, the small bag of toys became one and a half tons of toys, clothing, food and medical supplies delivered free by Canadian Airlines and Aeroflot directly to an orphanage near Chernobyl. The children at die orphanage have been greatly affecSed by the 1986 nuclear disaster. Not only have they lost their parents, diey have also developed radiation related illnesses. Most suffer from low-grade leukemia and widiout proper medical care will die. Unfortunately, the orphanage is so lacking in medical supplies diat very often bandages are cut in half out of necessity. Also, malnutrition is rampant. Last Christmas an emergency shipment of rice, pasta and pow dered milk was sent to feed the children. Most of die food diey have is contaminated widi radiation, leaving people widi the choice of eating die poisoned food or starving to death. This summer, in addition to transporting goods to die orphanage, die government lias granted the Love die Children operation permission to host 100 children, (mosdy orphans, but some from impoverished families) aged seven to diirteen, for a six to eight week visit. With the help of die Canadian embassy and an international fund aiding people of the Ukraine, die children along widi ten chaperones, one diplomat and two television crews will be flown to \^ncouver on a government aircraft.

JUNE 29. 1994 McLachlan survives pitfalls of being at top By KURT LANGMANN VANCOUVER - Bruce Cock- burn has been confirmed for the second of diis summer's three Sunflower Sundays concert' seines at Vanier Park, all of which are benefits for the Vancouver Museum. Cockburn, who sold out the Orpheum last April, will play the outdoor afternoon concert on August 28. Tickets are also available at CBO, call 280-2801, for the first Sunflower Sunday concert with Sarah McLachlan and Ashley Maclsaac, July 24. Star readers can also enter the draw for one of diree pairs of tickets for (he McLachlan/MacIsaac show by clipping the coupon on this page (grand prize includes a picnic basket filled for two, McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy CD, a hardbound tour book and postcards bodi filled with McLachlan's artwork, plus die opportunity to meet her backstage at the show.). The show is a unique pairing of Nova Scotian talents: McLachlan is now a Vancouver resident in her mid-20s and her style is a contemporary sort of folky music diat has won her a big following in North America and Europe, while Maclsaac is a 19 yeanokl step-dancing Cape Breton fiddler whose fierce take on traditional Celtic music has also caused an international stir. Maclsaac's collaborations on recordings by Philip Glass, Paul Simon, Edie Brickell and the Chieftains earned him much respect for his artistry, causing Macleans magazine to cite him as "arguably the most sought-after newcomer in Canadian music... die biggest unsigned act in die country" inTgjbeir May 2 issue. Unsigned he is no longer, as A&M Records Canada got his signature on die dotted line and he is curre,ndy in ,Cape • Breton's Overtom Studios recording his debut solo album widi producer Gordie Sampson. A&M president Joe Summers says, "Ashley is a new chapter in the ongoing musical story of A&M Canada. >Xe've laid die groundwork widi Jann Arden, Doughboys and the Lowest of die Low, and he is part of an incredible future." Director of A&M's artist and repertoire, Allan Reid says, "Ashley came to our attention after (we) saw him at 4 in die morning at an afterhours club in Halifax over a year ago. But it wasn't until this year's performance at the East Coast Music Awards when he played widi his band diat we truly came to understand Ashley's full potential. He's an incredible talent... he has diat intangible quality that is rare in any musician. When he performs you are drawn completely into his world." McLachlan was discovered by Nettwerk Records in Halifax when she was 17, perfonning widi a new wave band at her first gig. Her parents frowned on her signing a recording contract before she graduated from high Sarah McLachlan school, but two years later the deal was made and she moved to Vancouver. Her first album, Touch contained die first collection of songs she'd written and she readily admits she was surprised how it took off, widi gold sales and much acclaim. She put together a band, toured and dien recorded die followup, Solace in 1991, and it catapulted her into the international limelight. She supported Solace with an exhaustive tour diat literally took her around the world, before starting work on Fumbling Towards Ecstasy in a Montreal studio. It's been a whirlwind existence for her in recent years, but die chance to spend six mondis in a secluded house- in the woods outside Montreal was soothing and inspiring: "I love to listen to the river, it's die best music I've heard in years." It's also resulted in die most personal and direct album yet, and reflects die many changes she underwent since Solace. The work on the new album was "a kind of dierapy" which enabled her to overcome many longstanding fears and concerns by learning to articulate diem in WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO THE SUNFLOWER SUNDAY CONCERT WITH SARAfl McLACHLAN AND ASHLEY MacISAAC, JULY 24.

Tlie album's tide ii a metaphor for die difficult process of stripping away die parts diat keep one from achieving happiness and fulfillment, she said. In contrast, some of die new songs are lighter and more whimsical dian previous work: Ice Cream, whicli contains die phrase "Your love is better dian ice cream" is result of her new-found ability to find inspiration in happiness. "Before, I didn't want to write when I was happy. It was almost as if I needed to be depressed in order to be creadve. Even so, she is still cautious, tem^ pering die celebratory spirit widi fear of rejection or loss: "It's a long way down," she warns in die chorus. "That (song) is really bonehead, but I'm a bonehead myself sometimes," says McLachlan. Lest anyone diink McLachlan's a tad precious, she laughs and says, "Well I am 25 years old, so what die **** would I know about life?" On the odier hand, her recent trip widi World Vision relief organization to Cambodia and Thailand was a disquieting eye- opener to die results of war, poverty and AIDS (the latter mosdy transmitted via the region's widespread prostitution). "The. diings I saw and experienced in Southeast Asia made any troubles and problems I might have seem pretty trivial. These people have so litde, yet diey have a dignity and kindness. I visited diere after having been on the road in a cccoon for 14 mondis after Solace was released, and it challenged me to be more responsive, discerning and sensitive in my own life. For instance, Hold On on die Fumbling Towards Ecstasy album, came togedier in a matter of hours after I'd seen a documentary on die A&E channel, A Promise Kept, about a woman whose fiancee was dying of AIDS. I've heard from many people who just take that song as being about the loss of any intimate friend. I like diat ambiguity, where listeners just perceive words of love as entities of faidi." While die praise and comparisons to songwriters like Joni Mitchell have been deserved, McLachlan also warns fans: "Don't mistake me for my art." The dark side of the public adulation is explored in her song, Possession, which was inspired' by a frightening experience widi a nutty, obsessive fan who began writing letters professing to understand McLachlan, body and soul. This escalated into more serious harassment and McLachlan was forced to get a restraining order against the young misguided man. Possession is a strong song: says McLachlan, "It was a kind of therapy, putting myself in the shoes of someone like that. It helped me deal with a very unnerving situation... he was very -much in love with this person who he thought he knew dirough my music. But that wasn't jjie. Man, how can someone else know me when I don't know myself?* To work through this stuff and come out die odier side, that's the ecstasy," says McLachlan. "I love playing live. And managers love diat, and agents love that, because in my case it has been a proven fact diat it sells records. So they want me on die road a lot... I'm on diis catapulting forward motion right now, that's sending all of us on diis crazy, crazy trip dirough the worid." Magic show at libraries Abracadabra...Read!

People opposed to Orlowski's ideas put up defaced pictures of him and called him a hatemonger among odier things. Orlowski said that die same- sex benefits package was only one of many items in the deal, and had diere been a vote on die single issue of same-sex benefits he thinks it would have failed. He also says diat he is encouraged by die support of some fellow union members and die closeness of die vote. Currendy he is trying to get in touch with the president of die union, who has so far ignored Fmm, to possibly get a re-count of die vote and information about, die process used for die tallying union votes. He does say diat it is a shot in die dark as vote counts are generally accurate, but diat it's worth a try. His goal in die future is to have the decision allowing same-sex benefits reversed by becoming more involved in union activities and asking future negotiators to have die letter removed from any future agreements. He doesn't plan to do anydiing drastic such as wididrawing from the union, aldiough he can, because he do>ssnt want to abandon his fellow union members and he feels that he can do more horn die inside than die outside. ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, A few months ago my husband of thirty years came home from his office and told me he was leaving. Needless to say I was shocked and appalled. Wb. have two diildren, both of whom have left home and are on their own. I have not told diem about dieir fadier yet but next monUi diey are coining to visit me and I will have to tell them. I live in dread of doing this. My husband has not contacted me except for the monthly cheque I receive from Search on for entrepreneurs MONTREAL - For die seventh consecuUve year, the Federal Business Development Bank is seeking candidates for its annual Young Entrepreneur Awards. Established in 19<88, die awards recognize die achievements of entrepreneurs 29 years of age or younger. A total of 12 awards are presented - one for each province and territory. Tlie awards ceremony takes place in a major Canadian city during die national launch of Small Business Week in October. The application deadline is August 15- Applications are available at any branch of the Federal Business Development Bank or by calling toll-free 1-800-361- 2126. him. He has not asked for a divorce and friends of us both tell me diey have seen him around town with a very young woman by Ills side. I have been thinking I should contact him and ask him to come back here until the kids have come and gone. That way I don't have to tell them about what has happened. Do you think diis is a good idea? After diat he is free to go anywhere he wants to, because frankly I am enjoying my freedom from die daily grind. If it wasn't for my children and another year of lies I wouldn't have written to you. Signed: Mrs. M.L.L. Dear Mrs. M.L.L., You should definitely not invite your husband to come back just for the sake of appearances. When your children get there (or write to diem now), tell them die situation. Putting this off will just leave you more stressed and the possibility of diem already knowing about your separation by now will just make you look ridiculous. Get in touch with your husband and if you're serious about your freedom, ask him for a divorce. Then be honest with your children. Don't worry about diem, they will survive. ♦ ♦ ♦ Dear Annabelle, My daughter, who is single and lias a good job, decided she had to have a car. She hasn't had die job very long, so when she applied for a $15,000 loan die bank wouldn't let her have die money unless her modier and I signed ,!,, U)ict!r, as guarantors, so we did. She assured us she just wanted a good, sensible vehicle to get to and from work and for occasional weekend trips. I even went with her to look at some cars, and we test drove a near-new Ford Escort and a Mazda demonstrator. She seemed quite interested in them, but said she would have another look by herself at a big auto mall tt;\fcncouver. VOell, a couple of days later she came roaring up our driveway in a big red Corvette with twin pipes and every extra in die book. She had put die whole bank loan down on it and still owed the car company another $20,000! We told her she had done a real crazy thing and Couldn't afford such a car, and that the insurance would be murder and all diat, but she just drove away in a cloud of dust. We could wreck her whole desfftf we went to die bank and withdrew our guarantee of her loan. Should we do diat, or let her sink or swim on her own judgment? We really can't afford to be stuck widi diat loan if she defaults on die payments. Signed: Show-offs Pa. Dear Show-offs Pa, I, too diink your daughter did a foolish thing. I hope she is making enough money to pay for the car and your loan. But when she finds she can't buy groceries to feed herself maybe she will come to her senses. Give her a mondi or two and she will know by dien diat her new car is draining her dry. Then talk to her again and hopefully she will trade die monster in for a smaller model she can easily pay for.

ABBOTSFORD - The community has outgrown its old radio station, CFVR and has grown into a new one, Radio MAX (CKMA). CVFR officially signed off at five a.m. June 28, and was immediately replaced by die new station, which will be playing "Good Time Rock 'n' Roll" specialising in die music of die late '60s and early '70s. Bob Singleton, who has managed CFVR for over 25 years, said diat the community has become more sophisticated and urbanised, and although CFVR has been a big part of die development of the Central Valley, business must keep up witii tlie changing needs of listeners. The owners of the station conducted extensive research of die audience's lifestyles and tastes before deciding to make the change. "We are reacting to the changing needs of die community and have designed our radio station accordingly," said Singleton. Some of die news programming associated widi die old station such as die editorial feature "Insight" widi Richard Dettman have moved to the FM dial. His show can now be heard on STAR-FM at 104.9- The station has installed new computerised equipment which provides full digital sound, and many on-location appearances are planned diroughout the summer to show it off.

Aboriginal schooling develops in Langley LANGLEY - An Aboriginal program was officially launched at Gordon Greenwood Elementary school last December and so far seems to be a success. To set up an Aboriginal program, the Ministry of Education • requires that an Aboriginal Advisory Committee be in place, to provide input into die expenditure of funding. A committee with, members from local Aboriginal cornfnuni- ties and members of die Langley School District has. been established and meets monthly. Ministry approved programs must fit within three categories, Aboriginal cultural awareness, Aboriginal support (tutorial and/ or counselling) or Aboriginal language. Tlie Aboriginal department is offering a cultural awareness program in Langley. Highlights of die program include die presence of Aboriginal resource people in die schools to share their culture with students of all races. Some cultural events have included: Native art, carving, drum making, cooking bannock, native beadwork, traditional storytelling, and Salish waving. Odier program highlights include student workshops in die Coqualeetza Longhouse, the establishment of a collection of Aboriginal books, kits and audio-visual material available to be viewed and duplicated for all district schools, as well as a First Nations Students' Club at Gordon Greenwood. Schools in die district are invited to submit proposals to die Aboriginal department for school based initiatives, whicli promote cultural awareness and/or provide direct support to Aboriginal students. Applications must include a description, rationale, itemised budget, timeframe and an evaluation process, relating to one of die three categories. The first category is student support which includes things such as mentorship programs, Aboriginal students' clubs, and peer tutoring programs. Funding would cover costs such as release time, guest speakers and salaries of Aboriginal support staff. Tlie category of curriculum de* velopment are units of study dealing widi Aboriginal themes in a subject, such as social studies - structure of Storlo society, metal work - silver jewellery carving, and English - Aboriginal authors. Funding would cover things like release time to develop the unit, and die purchase of materials. The diird category is projects whisch have Aboriginal diemes. . Examples are major art projects such as drum making, carving a totem pole, a simulated archeo- logical dig, or a Slahal (traditional bone game) tournament. Funding would cover necessary materials and honoraria for Aboriginal resource people. The deadline for proposals to die Aboriginal department (Modern Languages, Milner Portable) is October 31, 1994.

JUNE 29. 1994 Public opinion on families shows strength still there Janzen to direct B.C. MCC . OTTAWA - Tlie Canada Committee for die International year of die Family 1994 lias released a national public opinion study entided "The State of die Family in Canada" conducted by the Angus Reid Group. The study, tlie most comprehensive investigation ever undertaken in Canada, probes into die lives of Canadian families in die 1990s and dieir perceptions of family life across the country. The study reveals that diere is a perception gap among Canadians today about our families. While Canadians are likely to believe diat die family in Canada is in crisis because of die high rate of divorce, immorality and general lack of values, over six in ten Canadian families live a happy and content family life. Odier key findings from the study include the impact of divorce on the lives of adults and children, the balance between work and family responsibilities, public policy issues (such as family benefits for .same sex couples), activities enjoyed by families, and a unique segmentation of Canadian families by description of their personal lives. HIGHLIGHTS Tlie sample size for die survey with adults is 2,051 respondents nation-wide. A sample of diis size has an associated margin of error of +/- 2.2% overall. j\n over- sample of single parents was conducted for a total sample size of 500 single parents. The adult and single parent survey were completed between April 15 and May 2, 1994. A youdi survey of 200 was conducted widi children from die households of die adult respondents between May 6 and May 11,1994. Four in ten (40%) strongly agree diat Canada's families are in crisis (63% overall agreement). This belief is held by most Canadians regardless of age, income, or family structure. Even the younger generation (aged 18 to 29) believe diat Canadian families are facing difficulties (37%). Yet most Canadians describe their family lives as the greatest joy in their lives (67% strong agreement). The data shows diat married couples are most satisfied widi their lives (82% describe their lives as happy), compared to diose who are currendy divorced or separated (48% strong agreement). Factors that are most strongly related to happiness include a happy childhood, strong religious beliefs and feeling close to parents. Most Canadians have also experienced happy childhoods. Six in ten (60%) strongly agree that diey have had a happy childhood. Despite diis "happiness", • nearly two in ten (17%) strongly agree diat "there was a lot of conflict in my family while I was growing up". In terms of population, this translates to close to" four million adult Canadians. Overall 17 per cent of adult Canadians have been divorced, although one-third (35%) of this group have eidier remarried or are living common-law with a new partner - (11%) of Canadians are divorced or separated but have not remarried or entered into a common-law relationship. The youth survey shows that seven in ten (70%) agree "when I get married, it is unlikely diat I will get divorced". Eleven percent of families have responsibility for caring for a family member odier than a spouse or child, most oommonly one's modier (34%) or modier-inlaw (22%). Over six in ten (68% overall agreement - 53% strong agreement) of Canadians believe that the traditional two-parent family is the best type of family to raise children. Even diose whose parents have divorced or separated or who have personally experienced divorce, share this opinion. Youth in Canada had positive emotions about dieir family life.- (93%) agree diat dieir family life is "happy". Similarly, (94%) of youdi (89% overall agreement among adults) describe dieir family life as "full of love". Almost all youth surveyed (93%) predicted diat dieir family will be the most important thing in dieir lives and are confident, that they will get married (91%). Four-fiitlis (80%) believe that marriage is for life and only 30% say it is possible that their marriage will not work out and they will get a divorce. (89%) of youth expect to have children. On balance, however, parents who work outside the home feel they have been able to achieve "a good balance between my job and time with my family" (51% indicated agreement). As would be expected, satisfaction on this count is more prevalent among those working part-time (61% versus 46% of parents working full- time). Eighty-five percent of respondents support the government providing support payments for elder care, seventy-five percent support a national subsidized day-care and forty percent support the introduction of family benefits for same sex couples. Nearly one in two (47%) believe that divorce laws are too easy. Neighbors there in 'quake RICHMOND - Earthquake responded on the West Coast met on June 1$ to discuss die new "neighbourhood approach," under consideration for B.C. Los Angeles deputy fire chief, Frank Borden told about the LA earthquake and how their "neighbour helping neighbour" plan worked. Can we do the same in the Lower Mainland? Washington State is already organizing a state-wide neighbourhood program. Vancouver, Victoria and other B.C. communities are launching dieir own programs. Meshing them togedier in a regional response is a topic for die second West Coast Disaster Response Conference. "The media have a very important role to play, not only to inform citizens. about what to do when die big one hits, but also to spread die word about neighbourhood planning - it's like a block watch program in concept but involves training Ln fire suppression, first aid, ESS and other areas," said Mary Clappa, conference director. "One of the worst effects of major disasters is how many citizens are killed or injured helping dieir neighbours. Neighbourhood response planning makes sense - train citizens to take charge when disaster strikes their own neighbourhoods. They are going to respond anyway, and in die first 48 hours after the big one hits diey will need the skills and knowledge a neighbourhood plan gives them," said Marcie Freidman, from the j\merican Red Crass,. Texas. '•^jf^lfe Mary Collins to head health ass'n. VANCOUVER - Tony Briglio, chair of B.C. Health Association announced the appointment of Mary Collins to president and chief executive officer of BCHA, effective July 25- Collins, a British Columbian, was a Member ofi Parliament for Capilano-Howe Sound from 1984 to 1993, during which time she served for five years in the federal cabinet. "On behalf of the board of Directors and die selection committee, I can say how pleased we are to obtain a president and CEO of the calibre of Mary Collins," said Briglio. "She has demonstrated her ability to build strong and effective teams, and has developed provincial, national and international experience, and brings a global perspective to many of the issues now facing health scare and reforms to die health care system." CLEARBROOK - Mennonite Central Committee British Columbia announces that Ed Janzen will be die next executive director for die province. Janzen is originally from Matsqui and will assume leadership responsibilities in early July. Tlie Janzens live in Toronto where Ed is manager of salaries and benefits for Coca-Cola Beverages Ltd. in Canada.

JUNE 29. 1994 19 By IfcSTOR BILL KEYES ALDERGROVE - In my opinion, modelling a healthy use ind understanding of power is such a wholesome gift a parent can give to their children. I think it is fair to say that all families play some son of power game. Even in tlie healthiest of families, periodic power struggles occur. The experience of power begins widi the birth of a child and continues dirough each of die developmen - tal stages. We learn power dynamics first ia our family-of-origin. Whenever I study either ancient or contemporary history I invariably pick up the message of the difficulty diat die human race has had in processing raw "power". Pick up any newspaper' and you will be confronted Witiv stories diat involve the struggle over "power". Read orje artide, "One of die ways I was finally able to live at home widi soriie degree of peace was to make it clear to my father diat I could and would go and live with his sister if he kept hitting me. My modier agreed widi my position aldiough she didn't like it, and he finally realized I was serious. Once he understood diat I had somewhere else to go, he began to treat me better." In this example, we see how the father initially used his power to control his daughter. Society is filled with stories of people exercising control over someone else. One commonly held assumption, diat saddens my heart, is diat God in some way is responsible for diis sad state of affairs. If God was in the business to cx>n- trol, to manipulate, to dominate the human race he never in a thousand years would have ae- ated us with a free will. There was nothing more riskier diat God could have done dian to give the human race the freedom to choose and make decisions. Involved in die freedom to choose and make decisions lies all die power that God invested in his creation. God was willing to "share power" with his .creation. God also made it very clear that die power he shared 'With us through die freedom he gave to us to make decisions required re- sponsibleness. We are responsible for die consequences of die choices and decisions we make in life. Tlie "evil* diat entered the world through our original "fami- ly-of-origin" (Adam and Eve) was a reluctance to live in a relationship widi our 'Maker on die basis of "shared power". The serpent was successful in getting our first parents to believe*the lie: "God's controlling you, Eve, dirough his withholding of certain knowledge horn you. Go ahead and experience tlie forbidden knowledge and you shall dien be in control of your own destiny." From that moment on, the world has been caught in a vicious tUg- of-war, involving "power and control". God invites his creation to experience a relationship widi him-. self based on "shared power", just prior to His leaving planet Earth, he shared Uiis trudi with his • disciples: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned'from my father I have made known to you." What a beautiful example of someone's willingness to share dieir life widi another person on die basis of "shared power". A view from the pew By MIKE KERRY ALDERGROVE - Last Sunday at County Line Christian FellowshJjs the morning service was interrupted by a shady-looking mai£ wearing a trench coat and a wide brimmed hat. He bore a marked resemblance to our pianist Jay Wozniak and he told us about some strange events diat are planned for the Sunday school diis summer. Our pastor, John Farmer, continued his series of sermons on the Foundation Stones of our beliefs. To emphasize diat we have eyery reason to be excited about our faidi he paused to invite Gail Summers to the microphone to tell us of a revival diat is taking place at New Covenant Church in Mission. Every night people have been meeting diere to hear bold preaching and experience a move of God in wmch many people have been healed. Tlie meetings are continuing diis week and visitors are invited at 7 o'clock each evening. New Covenant is at 33837 Prentiss Road, just off Stave Lake Road. Speaking of revival Pastor Farmer said "Don't be afraid if you see wild fire in die church; diere are always some wet blankets around to put it out". He continued by telling of a friend called \61erie who is dying of cancer. Valerie and her family invited him and his wife to ijfsit ■ diem after they learned that die Seatticer is inoperable. About 12 £were assembled in Valerie's room and hardly any of diem knew of die Bible's promises about life after deadi. It could have been a very uncomfortable time but Valerie was eager to learn what she might expect. John explained to them diat all people are separated from God by dieir sin. Only when we repent of diis and use our faidi to ask God to forgive us is dieir any hope for us. God's justice requires diat each of us must be punished by deadi for our sin, but because Jesus took ;«the punishment for us. If we submit to God we can be saved from hell and be given eternal life in r'«ta£aven. Valerie prayed for diis in die presence of her family and is now rejoicing in her decision. Pastor Farmer explained that we believe diat God heals too. We believe he saves all who repent ancl we don't understand why he doesn't heal all who pray for healing. But he does heal some and there are many recorded cases of people stricken widi terminal cancer being completely healed. It remains to be seen i whedier Valerie will be one of diem. Immanod.

Remy- 856-2711 (Answering service - 530-6000) "Adventure Bible" a new alternative • LANGLEY - Johann Guten-," beig's 1455 printing of the Bible was a landmark event in European history. Leaflets and tracts had been printed in the decades prior to diis, and.books of one sort or anodier had existed on die Mediterranean shores of Europe, for over 2,000 years, but Gutenberg's Bible was the Best book ever printed in the Western world. Two Langley men have been involved in a project which they believe may have a similar importance to die printing industry. The Adventure Bible Handbook, which they illustrated, may be the first fully computer assembled book in North America. "It's really hard to say", says graphic designer Terry Van Roon. "Nobody seems to have heard of another fully computer assembled, book, but the industry is so diversified, and diere is so litde communication between book publishing companies, that it's quite possible anodier exists somewhere." He and illustrator Chris Kielesinski prefer to stress the unique aspects of the handbook among Christian reference material. The strong graphic elements and story line utilized in die Adventure Bible Handbook have put diem on tlie cover of die June 1994 Religious Broadcasting, printed in Washington D.C. Stan Grundy of Zondervan, die company releasing die handbook, believes it will revolutionize the Christian publishing industry. Van Roon and Keilesinski will be bringing the artwork of the Adventure Bible Handbook to Tlie Gallery at Langley Vineyard Centre, 5708 Glover Road. "Friends often wonder what it is we do?", Van Roon says. "I mean diey'11 ask if I did die illustration for a page and I'll say no. Well, how about the lettering: did I make the lettering? And I'll have to tell diem no, I didn't do that ei - dier. What I did do was tell tlie illustrator where to put an illustration, what colors to use, and tell someone else what kind of type to use and where it goes. Chris gets die same kind of questions as an illustrator. In our Vineyard exhibition we want to show how/ something like die Adventure Bible Handbook'was illustrated." The computers used to assemble die handbook will be avail able, for die July 9, 11:30 to 4:30 reception. Rick Osborne of Lightwave Publishing Inc in Maple Ridge, who hired diem to illustrate the book, will also be present. Van Roon and Kielesinski have been friends since diey both studied graphics at Douglas College in the late 1970s. Kielesinski has illustrated die history of Redwood Park for die Surrey Naturalist Society, Bill Vanderzalm's gardening book, and editions of Proverbs and Psalms. Van Roon has performed freelance graphic design for Woodwards, Fletcher Challenge- and Tyndale Publishing. They both periodiadly work for Lightwave Publishing Inc. They are also founding members of Artistic License which runs The Gallery at Langley Vineyard Centre. Their display will be open to die public during services at the Vineyard Friday •nights (7 to 10), Saturday nights (7 to 10) and Saturday morning (9 to 12) until August 7.

Pets aref too heavy VANCOUVER - Almost 50% of pets seen by veterinarians are overweight, says Dr. Glenn Brown, a nutritioniteonsultant with the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. The problem stems from overfeeding, over-supplementing and too many treats. Just as in humans, latk of exercise is also a contributing factor in pet obesity. If you can't feel your pet's ribs, chances are he or she is . overweight. Obesity is more prevalent as die animal matures and is more common in females dian in males. Proper feeding^ is a very important part of pet healdi care and die CVMA publication, "A Commonsense Guide to feeding '■ Your Dog & Cat" is designed to educate Canada's pet owners on die proper feeding of dieir pets. This "common sense" guide provides pet owner widi some practical advice that will help their pet avoid obesity and other nutrition related problems.

BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District lias approved stage two of die Solid Waste Management Reviety* which is a new strategy for reducing and managing die region's garbage. It took tliree years to develop and had input from die public and two advisory committees. Stage three is not expected to be complete until early next year. The strategy is being developed in response to die provincial government's requirement for a 50% per capita reduction in' waste by die year 2000. Currendy diere is over 1.5-million tons of garbage generated annually in die region, which could climb to more than 2.5-million tons in die next six years, widi the expected increase in population. Almost all of die government's proptf&ali1' met with approval from those involved with the development of the planT" The strategy will change the way waste is viewed and garbage is handled in die GVRD. One important change is die introduction of a user pay system for garbage. Under die plan, generators of waste will be responsible for paying die cost to manage its disposal. At die residential level homeowners will pay for garbage collection based on the number of cans or bags set out at die curb. The idea of a user pay system for. recyclables and compostables starting at die implementation of the program, did not get support, but could be phased in after die user fees for garbage collection' were established and accepted. A major concern for households is the volumes of junk mail delivered for which they could ultimately be paying for die removal of. It was suggested that during the implementation phase of die strategy, ways for households to terminate die delivery of junk mail should be developed. It has been shown by other;; municipalities across North America using the user pay system, that it is die fairest way of dividing up the costs of garbage disposal. Studies show diat concerns about* illegal dumping and illegal waste decrease once die system has been in place for several months. At the industrial level, manufacturers will be paying some of the costs associated with recycling and disposal of their products and packaging, which will provide incentive for manufacturers to reduce waste at die point of product and package design. The expansion of recycling programs is another important, part of the strategy. Residents will be supported in dieir recycling efforts by having a greater number of objects allowed in their blue boxes, such as different types of plastics. Also, backyard. composters will be subsidised and yard waste could be put out for curbside collection. In the third category of waste production, which is demolition, land clearing and construction waste, the separations of recyclables and compostables will be required once markets for these items have been established. Even with all these proposals in place, however, there will still be some solid waste to dispose of. Under the. new system, the Burnaby Incinerator and die landfills in Cache Creek and Delta will still be in operation. When die Port Mann landfill closes within the next few years, however, an out-of-region landfill may be required. People involved in die development of the strategy were opposed to die creation of an out of region landfill, saying diat disposal of garbage as close to the source as possible is die best option. This decision has yet to be made, and' is still being discussed. Also, die long term continued use of Bums Bog is conditional on further teclinical and environmental assessments. The total cost of waste management is expected to increase by about 19% by the year 2000, but the actual cost will be about one half of what is today. That means more money can be spent on activities and programs about recycling. Tlie general dieme for die strategy seems to be one based on "expand, educate, dien legislate." Translated diis means: die provision for people and business to participate in expanded 3R programs, die encouragement of participation in die programs, and legislation as a last alternative.

Valley libraries link up BURNABY - Over 100 library users, library workers, board members and local councillors participated in the launch of the InterLINK Public Library Federadon by Municipal Affairs Minister Darlene Marzari on June 3 at Richmond Public Library. InterLINK is a federation of twelve lower mainland public libraries including die Fraser Valley and serving 1.9-million people. It provides equal access to the sen ices of all libraries for any resident of the region and develops cooperative supports for library services and resource sharing amongst all member libraries, A special service of InterLINK is the coordination of the Taped Book service for the visually impaired available through member libraries. Marzari spoke of the very high usage that British Columbians make of their public libraries - some 14,000 people a day visit or call their library. InterLINK has introduced a new level of accessibility and flexibility in people's usage of libraries by removing political boundaries - about one third of B.C.'s population will how have access to everv library in the lower . mainland. This is a reponse to the fact that patterns of work and living have changed and information need have never been greater. The provincial government contributed $525,000 to InterLINK.

JUNE 29. 1994 Award winners span 60 years ABBOTSFORD - The energy of youth and the wisdom of an "elder were acknowledged in the choices for the University College of the Fraser Valley Community Service and Outstanding Achievement awards diis year. The ages of the two award winners span nearly 60 years. Curley Chittenden, 81, was given die Community Service award in recognition of his "extensive contributions, unfailing enthusiasm, and impressive accomplishments" in working towards the preservation of "important environmental, liistorical, and cultural gems in die Fraser Valley." Bryan Sikora, 22, editor of the UCFV Cascade student newspaper, was given die Outstanding Achievement award Jn recognition of his leadership role in launching a topical, newsy, and sometimes controversial biweekly publication about issues facing students! Curley Chittenden was raised ih Bradner, lived in Chilliwack for much of his adult life, and ran logging operations at Harrison Like, among other places. Later in his life he became an active environmentalist, which he remains to this day. He turned "green" when he resized "we'naVe to save something for die young people. We've done a terrible job looking after the place." He was working for Seattle City Light Corp., overseeing clearing of the Skagit Valley so diat it could be flooded for power, 'when he decided that things had freone too far. He told diem to get ia new superintendent and joined the ROSS (run out Skagit spoilers) committee. •• Chittenden was a key player in ilie Nature Trust's acquisition of the Chehalis marshes (500 acres of salmon spawning and waterfowl habitat), and was also involved in the Nature Trust's acquisition of 223 acres on Silverhope Creek. He's currently .working with Friends of Cypress Provincial Park. ':_) An amateur historian, Chittenden is co-author with Arthur McCombs of two books on logging history in the Fraser ^Valley, and provided information ,Tor and sponsored Where Eagles Flew: un UttTly History of the Chilliwu ck Plying Club. He was instrumental in launching the first Abbotsford Airshow in 1948 as a flood relief fundraiser, and was an active participant in the Chilliwack music scene. One of'Ws current wishes is ~ diat die old M&T logging camp, on Crown land at Harrison Lake, •become an ecological reserve. It has been left untouched since 'being logged in the '30s and could bemused as a benchmark for comparison widi current re- ;ftdrestation practices. It could also be used for research in biology, history, antliropology, and geography. Remnants of an old "fore and aft" wooden trestle logging road are still evident. UCFV has expressed, interest in using the land as a research site. At die UCFV graduation ceremony, Chittenden said he accepted his award for "all the other people who helped to do so much for Chilliwack and Abbotsford - all the old-timeJoggers!" Cascade editor Bryan Sikora, along with other key "road? trippers" (as he calls the editorial staff diehards), accomplished something diat hasn't happened at UCFV in recent memory. He made sure the Cascade got out eveiy two weeks, helped -create a publication that covered key issues of concern to students, and provided a forum for a variety of student voices find opinion. "Lots of hard work ancl late nights" 'went into the Cascade's success, Sikora says. "A lot of people helped me to bring out die paper. It really brought st»% dents togedier and it's something . we can build on for next year." When honouring Sikora at the UCFV graduation ceremony, UCFV president Peter Jones said diat the Cascade had "annoyed, informed, amused, and infuriated us. Bryan's energy, resilience, and sense of humour is a large part of what brought it all together." An Abbotsford Senior grad, Sikora has set his sights on a ca- reer in journalism, and says the Cascade has given him practical knowledge to gej him started. He's working on a Media an*, Communication Studies diploma at UCFV. Casino proposal § p deserves referendum, says businessman By MONIQUE GAIAZKA VANCOUVER - A group of concerned citizens have come to gether and formed die "No Casino Committee" to combat die development of a for-profit casino as part of a proposed development for Vancouver's waterfront, which would include a large cruise-ship terihinal and convention centre. Hart Molthagen, head of die committee, and a former Tourism Vancouver and Vancouver Hotels' Association director, has raised several issues diat need addressing by residents of the city and he says the only way to do diat is by referendum. Moldiagen says diat his group has done an informal survey of downtown residents, asking if diey favour die development of a Las Vegas style casino. The answer, was 90% no. He claims also diat diere have been many decent proposals made for the development of the site, that don't include casinos, and he is wondering why the government hasn't chosen any of those options to look at. "There is a lot of stuff happening behind closed doors, and people have a right to know what's going on," he said. "This decision process should have been open to die public a long time ago," he continued, "Now, an independent study needs to be done as to wheth«$aT' we need a for-profit casino, and a referendum should be held, m least civically, if not provincially, asking people if they favour a Las Vegas style casino. "It's supposed to attract tourists, but our tourjsts come here because of our beautiful nature and scenery. A casino of that type just doesn't fit into the program." _ - - ^ ^'.^ _.*._' ^ , ■ p ' VI %ifti»lifr *P wWm If • * 1 ML Ml M # A couple enjoy a ride on a big slide set-up in the Langley Mall parking lot for Langley Days. -Tim Attwood photo TIRI SPECIAL (blems) 195-60R14 $50 ea. 255-60R15 $60 ea.

Housing market does show signs of stabilizing VANCOUVER?- May sales of residential properties in B.C. are pointing to a more stable market, where housing is being sought more for shelter than short-term investment gains, says Jim McNeal, president of the British Columbia Real Estate Association. As in April, die total number of May residential sales fell below last year's total. This year, 7,320 residential properties changed hands compared to 1993's, 7,809. "While most areas of die province continue to show an increase in average property sales values over die year before, those increases are not as spectacular as Ln years past. And diis indicates to me diat the people we see in die market now are diose who genuinely want to buy or sell for personal rather dian investment reasons," said McNeal. "And again, I want to caution that, apart from die hard numbers of units sold and their dollar value, we are reporting price averages. Thesefaverages are affected by die properties diat sold during die month in a given area. For example, the average price of a townhouse in Campbell River shot up by 320 per cent. In actual fact, there was only one town- house sale there during May," said McNeal, "and diat sale drove up die average." THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JUNE 29. 1994 27 Forest plan meets skeptical approval from the workers VICTORIA . - Tlie provincial government is hoping diat dieir Vancouver Island land use plan will bodi protect rainforests and secure jobs, as suggested by Stephen Owen's CORE report. Forest workers on the island are skeptical — some go further and express anger — and die same sentiments on die odier side of die fence are expressed by some . environmental spokespersons. Premier Mike Harcourt told Tlie Star earlier diis year diat diis sort of opposition from both extremes would put die government in the middle ground, which is where he believed most of die general public wanted die province to be. Opposition party spokesmen in the legislature said die government's stand was not the compromise diat die public was after, and accused die government of grandstanding at public expense. MLA Gary Farrell-Collins told The Star that similar land use plans are forthcoming for other areas of the province, such as die Cariboo and Kootenays, and are likely to be just as unpalatable to those residents as die Vancouver Island plan was to its workers and communities. He also said die government paid-for BCTV speech and other advertising were thinly veiled pre-election advertising for die troubled New Democrats. The unprecedented land use plan creates 23 large, new permanent parks on die island, although a boundary review will reduce the size of five areas proposed by CORE. Total protected areas will be 13 percent, including preservation of additional small "special features" and a North Coast Trail from Port Hardy to Cape Scott. A new Forest Land Reserve Act will "secure die commercial forest land base on bodi private managed forest and Crown lands" leaving 81 percent of the island for forestry and "odier sustainable resource use." Private lands can only be removed if approved by an independent commission, with advice from local government, and owners must repay some past tax benefit if land is removed. The reserve, lands will be zoned in die code as low- or high-intensity or general forestry. Tlie low-intensity areas take in about eight percent of tlie island and are subject to special management standards, high-intensity areas will employ labor-intensive practices to produce higher value and volumes of timber, while general forestry areas are protected for "integrated use." The new plan means diat nearly 65,000 hectares of land is "study areas" are returned to commercial forests. Community Resource Boards are to provide input on local implementation and other interests from local industry, labour, First Nations and environment will be represented. On die jobs side, Harcourt said diey expect to see fewer than 50 jobs lost diis year, and between 800 and 900 jobs lost in the next five years, but "each worker affected will be assured die opportunity of a new job in the wocxls. More than 1,000 new jobs will be created by die Forest Renewal Plan projects, alone, over die same period." There are 70 projects planned in watershed restoration, road rehabilitation and intensive silviculture beginning diis summer, •plus new projects -in -for.estfyy -ea~ ergy, construction and odier sectors. The government also appointed a Forest Jobs Commissioner to work to secure stable forest industry jobs, along widi diree new community skills centres and 13 small business and sectoral training partnerships under die Skills Now plan, widi die aim of creating 4,000 new permanent jobs. Forest Alliance chair Jack Munro said he hopes die plan puts "an end to the valley by valley conflicts diat for too long have plagued die forest industry on \&ncouver Island. Deciding once and for all about land use on Vancouver Island will provide die stability necessary for meaningful, long-term investment. It's die best way to ensure forest healdi and sustainability in the long run." However, Munro expressed concern about whedier diere is "a proper, acceptable transition strategy to keep families and communities alive," adding diat, "Those 23 new parks represent billions of dollars in timber rights and if die industry is experted to walk away from diem it has to get some guarantees in return." Muriro and Alliance director Patrick Moore recently spoke in California about the new forest code and plan, as well as against senator Tom Hayden's proposed bill to ban purchase of newsprint from trees over 100 years old. This would cart B.C. off die $300- million annual market producers presendy have diere. BC Reform leader Jack Weisgerber is far more blunt in his criticism: "Harcourt's forest plan is a bitter pill for island forest workers diat lacks detail and legitimacy. On die surface, die plan has some public appeal, but we're convinced diat the lack of detail and specifics suggests a downside that will mean lost 'jobs, lower incomes and increased costs to B.C. taxpayers." Weisgerber said it's impossible to judge job losses until the type of forest activity allowed in the eight percent designated low-intensity logging is determined, and he also called for a referendum on the island on tlie plan. "That's the kind of legitimacy dial's missing from die CORE process, in our view," he said, adding diat die impact on die plan of future land settlements with First Nations is also an unknown. He also criticized Bill 56 for freezing nearly 4,200 private properties currendy designated as managed forest land in die "NDP's. Forest Land Reserve, without compensation or right of appeal. This art is an unconscionable confiscation of private property value diat is being imposed without consultation or notice." Liberal leader Gordon Campbell said that the plan preserved too much land for parks and die actual job loss was going to be much higher than predicted ~ closer to 3,500 jobs taken from the island's forest industry. A number of odier politicians on die island echoed diose fears. Spokesmen for Western Canada Wilderness and die Sierra Club said they saw many positive aspects to the plan, including protection of the controversy- dogged Carmanah and Walbran areas, but diere were many issues yet unresolved that diey would -continue- to fight overr. - rsne^^,; hm^^Amu1^^- — 7-T-. — I- 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR.
