I Wm^Z^TT^^ nJJ.1,,,- I VIOLENT SUSPECTS RELEASE Feds to hear town's fears ALDERGROVE - Federal revenue minister David Anderson has promised to take up die issue of an Abbotsford sexual assault suspect who was released from custody shortly after being arrested for a violent attack on a woman in Aldergrove early in January. Township mayor John Scholtens said he brought die issue to Anderson's attention, during a meeting in Surrey, Feb. 3, and Anderson said he shared die concern over Uie "rapid release" and would bring it to the attention of Liberal caucus in Ottawa- this week. The victim was assaulted repeatedly for 90 minutes in an Aldergrove parking lot on the evening of Jan. 3. A suspect was arrested at home the next day, held overnight and released at a Jan. 5 court hearing, pending his next court appearance. The controversy was sparked by Langley-RCMP superintendent Rick McMartin, who complained that the suspect was released within hours of arrest when he knew the victiin's identity and her address. Township council formally complained to the Premier and Attorney-General, and B.C. Liberal critic Jeremy Dalton has pursued die matter in Victoria, calling on crown counsel to appeal the suspect's release from custody. The Attorney-General's office has refused to comment on the case, although Premier Mike Harcourt has since promised new legislation this year to better protect the rights of victims and their families. Anthony Hillmer (holding sign) and, in random order, Connie Johnson, Erin Schinger, Bryan Karol, Ken Watchman, Dustin Hillman, Erin Thompson, Shantell Smish, Mark Lanfranco and Keller Neault cheered on the Thunder, Friday Night.

Last week he had terrible pains shooting from his elbow to his fingers which eventually caused his elbow to swell to football size. Doctors, who don't fully understand the disease which progresses very quickly in some people and much more slowly in others, pumped him with antibiotics and considered an operation if the drugs didn't work. White, who did not suffer any permanent skin damage, wondered if the disease was connected to die House of Commons, but was assured by a specialist that it 'just happens'. At one point he was an outpatient at the hospital receiving intravenous treatment every six hours, but he has now returned to Ottawa — against his doctor's orders. Howard May, parliamentary assistant to White, said that he is, "hanging in there, but looks awful." New 'Grove bypass now planner's Iirst priority ALDERGROVE - A new Fraser Highway bypass on the north side of this town is proceeding with a clearer alignment design at township's engineering department, at the request of Agricultural Land Commissioner Gary Runka. The plan is part of a submission to die ALC to have some land surrounding die town removed from the agricultural land reserve.

Will its "closure" really save the federal government money, or was its inclusion in the '94 budget cuts to defence spending merely a coincidental and convenient circumstance for a hard-pressed finance minister? CFS Aldergrove's status will be downgraded to a detachment, sometime in the next century, but the 1,500 acres will still have their fields of antennas surrounded by the buffer forests. They will be operated by remote control at CFB Esquimalt, but will likely require staffing here for maintenance, as well as the service personnel transferred from Aldergrove to Esquimalt to operate it. The forces also want to maintain die local milida and cadet programs here, as well as some of the "community involvement" djiflf , has built between the station and community over the past 53 years of its existence. Lieutenant commander Colin Darlington told a Chamber of Commerce luncheon here Friday that while the forces would like to have its own communications satellite, die fact is Uiat Uie government can't afford one. He also recalled the panic tliat ensued during joint efforts by Canada and the U.S. in die Gulf War, when an American satellite malfunctioned. However, while die antenna farms here are going to be needed for the next few decades, the upgrade to remote operation will be expensive and will take some time to get up and running, and it will take many years before the investment is recouped. Darlington and his coxswain, chief petty officer Ian Sinclair led the chamber audience dirough the station's history and Uie background behind the decision to go to remote operation. CFS Aldergrove is currently staffed by 186 and is set to close on April 1, 1996, but Darlington noted, "In 15 months when I haul down the flag there will still be 100 people left" to maintain operations until "remoting" begins sometime in 1997. He said at that point Uie station will become a detachment of a unit, or "satellite site... essentially unmanned" with the last 60 personnel then transferred to Esquimalt. This conversion to remote reception is phase three, but 25 personnel will remain at the 230 acre Matsqui antenna farm until phase/ four, remote transmission is up and running. "In 2001, we (military personnel) essentially won't be here" but the question of "disposal of surplus land" remains unanswered. He said he met with officials from Western Economic Diversification (the Crown agency that handles disposal of forces property) as recendy as last week, but "details are not fixed." The Matsqui lands are to be Lieutenant commander Colin Darlington says CFS Aldergrove will formally close on April 1, 1996, but it will take more time to complete the transition to remote operation of the communications network here. -Kurt Langmann photo kept in their entirety, but Uiere may be some of the 1,270 acres of CFS Aldergrove that become available for other uses. Its antenna farm takes 445 acres and requires die 800 acre forest around it to screen out white noise interference from surrounding civilian uses of die radio frequencies. Another 25 acres are taken up by buildings, including the PMQs (personnel's quarters). He observed that their investigation of the economic spinoffs from the station could roughly equate to that of The Bay in Langley — CFS Aldergrove salaries are $8-million annually, operations and maintenance are $2-million annually, along with $33,000 in grants in lieu of (property) taxes and $122,000 in con- Pleaseseepage2...

A variety of businesses have been broken in to, including travel agencies, insurance brokers, machine shops, auto repair shops and computer repair shops. The usual entry is made by twisting dborlocks off or smashing out die front entry doors to the business. Items , stolen are usually computers, monitors, keyboards and software located in public reception areas. A number of businesses had alarm systems; however, the culprits act quickly.

Darlington, who was chosen for this task because of his expertise in long-range, high-level planning, said diere will be a "lot of changes" coming to die station, and likely a lot of changes to the plans as they progress, too. "The plan is nothing, planning is everything." He said die militia and cadet units will be maintained: the Royal Westminster Regiment has some of its buildings at the station, and Uie 68 Battery Artillery just took on 75 new recruits; die Columbia Sea Cadets and Navy League have now moved into a renovated bam on die station property. The Lower Mainland Canada Forces supply depot service will be moved to CFB Chilliwack. Darlington said the community aspect is being negotiated. Presendy, efforts to alleviate flooding of neighbouring properties from the swampy area of the station are in the hands of die environment and fisheries ministries, as the - issue involves beaver dams and the endangered Salish Sucker fish species. He said he's signed the station on with Langley Environmental Partners Society for use as both a study area and planning for possible future projects in the large and pristine area: "We're probably the biggest single landowner in the valley and much of it's untouched." Opening the land to civilian recreational or farm use is not being considered, however. Darlington said an experiment some years ago resulted in an accident which left the government at the receiving end of an expensive civil suit, and there's also the matter of security for the antennas. Recendy, a cow that managed to get into the Matsqui site "exploded" when its hoof severed a high- power underground cable's shielding, "we get calls all the time from horsepeople and so on but we have to turn them down," said Darlington, adding that security personnel deal prompdy and harshly with trespassers. Other community cooperative aspects involve the station's sports fields, sports and social use of their gym, and police use of bodi their incinerator for confiscated contraband and their facilities for training of officers. Darlington said some of diese will have to be downgraded, but negotiations continue widi the federal government to try to maintain as much of this as possible. REFORMF9 PARTY OF CANADA *■*. CHANNEL 4 (Rogers) CHANNEL 54 (Shaw) SUNDAY NIGHT - FEBRUARY 12 LIVE at 5 p.m. ELECTRONIC TOWN HAU MEETING WITH PRESTON MANNING :'.:..::'.lz,::z,:y. ON : NATIONAL TAX ALERT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE BY PHONE LANGLEY - Closure of Fraser Valley Bus and Charter's commuter service to Vancouver, Jan. 31, has resulted in layoffs for drivers, termination of die company's Motor Carrier's licence by ALR hearing date soon set From front... the ALC and the highways ministry. Township administrator Jim Godfrey said they are proceeding with a public hearing in this community on the proposed ALR exemption early this year, to be followed by the township's application to the ALC. The commission just recendy turned down an invitation from the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee to attend the hearing, citing ALC policy tQ attend hearings only when the commission is co-sponsoring the application. ALC general manager Kirk Miller said they are a regulatory tribunal and "must maintain a stance of clear impartiality." In a related item, councilors expressed "pleasure Uiat die ALR is not dead," in commenting on a township report on local applications for exemptions within die ALR. Noting that all 12 applications in the "agriculture/countryside designated area" were turned down by the ALC, and all ten applications in the "small farms/country estates designated area" were allowed, coun. Trudi Campen said she was glad to "see a pattern emerging... we're making headway." Coun. Mel Kositsky said the fact that "large areas are used for green space (as opposed to farming) suggests we're not dealing appropriately with all of diem." the province and fewer options for valley commuters. MLA Gary FarreU-Collins stepped into the fray the next day, demanding that the province divert some of the $l60-million being spent on Mission-to-\ancouver commuter rail to "rescue stranded commuters south of the Fraser River... people in the Fraser \alley are left standing at the bus stop. "We build dean-burning hydrogen buses with B.C. technology. Surely there are better options than forcing the working people of Langley and the Fraser Villey back into their cars," said the MLA. Local 1 of the Independent Canadian Transit Union said they have been "in contact with the homourable Glen Clark for some time on this issue, as well as Derek Corrigan, the chair of BC Transit" asking that it take over the service and employ existing drivers. Township council voted Monday to send an invitation to Corrigan to "take a trip that takes forever," so diat he can experience firsthand the frustration of local commuters. "I've done it myself, and I'll do it again to show (Corrigan) why the service isn't meeting local needs," said coun. Mel Kositsky. Coun. Steve Burton said "transit users are overflowing" and the loss of direct bus service to Vancouver from Walnut Grove park and ride forced many "back into their tears." He said service to Skytrain took up to two hours, compared to the quick direct service on Highway 1 to Vancouver. ""We have to meet wiUi transit, to get them to provide decent service." Kositsky added Uiat the Brewster division of Greyhound is taking over the Fraser \alley Bus routes, and "we can hope this will solve die problem." Another local bomb hoax LANGLEY - RCMP said that anodier bomb threat was called in to a business this week, and like die Jan.31 call to Aldergrove Secondary, turned out to be a hoax. At 1:10 pm on Saturday, Feb. 4 a bomb threat was received by telephone at Canada Safeway in Langley. Tlie store was evacuated, with police and the Langley Fire Department attending. The store was searched by Safeway staff, police and fire department personnel, with nothing being found. The store was opened for business again at 3 pm. "There was excellent co-operation between Canada Safeway staff, emergency personnel and customers," said Sgt. B.N.Stavenjord.

Explicit ads bring more complaints to council THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY fr, 1995 Gunman gets jail, probation By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council was again bothered by the question of whether free copies of the gay magazine Xtra! West should be available at Fraser Wley libraries. Clarence Bonnet, spokesperson for the Abbotsford Commun- New street names selected in amalgamation process By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council has decided on new names for seven of the nine streets that need name changes due to the amalgamation of Abbotsford and Matsqui. Residents from each street concerned were invited to meet with city staff and councillors to discuss options for the renaming. Although many letters and phone calls about the changes were received by the city planning department, turnout for the meetings was poor, and there were more concerns raised than just the names. Residents wanted to know when the changes would be taking place, and how much it was going to cost them. Richard Danzinger of the planing department, said that the changes will be taking place within die the next three to four weeks and the cost of the address change, $20 per household and $100 per business, will be covered by the post office. During debate on the motion, councilor Chuck Wiebe mentioned that people at the meetings said they would prefer just adding east or west to the street name so it wouldn't have to be changed. Staff did not give diis as ah option for two reasons. Firsdy, it could be dangerous in an emergency situation. A panic-stricken 911 caller may forget to add the east/west prefix and hang up the phone, leaving emergency officials unsure of where to go. Secondly the east/west prefix implies that the street may be one long road with an east end and a west end, when they may actually run parallel. In choosing whether die Abbotsford or Matsqui street name should be changed, the one affecting the least number of people was chosen. Council could npt decide on a new name for die Interprovincial Highway in Matsqui. Residents wiU be polled, and their choices will be 58 Avenue or a heritage name wliich has yet to be determined. Also, Matsqui Spruce Street residents will get to choose between keeping the 'spruce' in their name in the form of Spruceview or changing the name to Fir, thereby becoming an extension of the already existing Fir Street. Polling will take place within the next two weeks. Changes that have been decid: ed are: Alder Street in Abbotsford will become Alderview Street; Birch Street in Matsqui will become Arbutus Street; Boundary Road in Matsqui will become "0" Avenue, which according to some residents is the address Canada Post is already using; Cedar Avenue in Abbotsford will become Gosling Street; Grant Street and Grant Crescent in Abbotsford will become Meston Street and Paulson Crescent; Holly Street in Abbotsford will become Hoilyberry Court and Starr Road in Abbotsford will become North Parallel Road. ity Impact Coalition said in his presentation that as recendy as January 17, members of his group have found copies in public libraries. "Who gave librarians the right to overrule .the board?" he asked. Bonnet said that the group wants offensive materials and advertising for sex hotlines removed front the free distribution areas of libraries where children can pick them up to take hon. In a telephone interview he said that the sex hotline ads found in other papers such as the Vancouver Sun and Province are 'reference materials' and cannot be removed from the library. Council voted to receive the delegation with the only discussion coming from councilor, Mark Warawa who asked if they have the legal authority to do something about the situation. Staff said that diey were unsure, and that die library board had already sought legal advice concerning the issue. Bonnet says that his group is an umbrella organization for other committees in Abbotsford which attempt to provide their feelings about certain issues affecting community values, through petitioning and speaking to politicians. He said that the group is not opposed to the magazine itself, just the content, specifically die hotiine sex ads and the writing of one of the directors who advocates the' existence of the Man/Boy Love Organisation. He said that there is a great deal of public repugnance for the ads, which he calls "gutter talk" and which he says promote pedophilia. "This type of literature should not be available to children to take out of libraries," he said. He also mentioned that only one out of nine ads had an age limit on it, and that the age of callers cannot be controlled. "It's the nature of the-material," he said. "If Xtra! West produced decent material, we wouldn't have a problem with it." ABBOTSFORD - Rio John Woodward was sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to assault with a weapon, at provincial court, Feb. 3- He will also be on probation for one year upon his release and is prohibited from owning firearms for five years.. Woodward, 31, of Mount Lehman, entered a local home on New Year's Eve, armed with a 10 mm pistol. He threatened to kill the occupants and fired a shot at one, of the occupants. Wbodward surrendered to police shortly afterwards in his own home. NDP flushing cash away VICTORIA - The NDP government is spending nearly a quarter of a million dollars to build a luxury outhouse near Grand Forks, B.C. Liberal transportation critic Doug Symons said, Feb. 2. It will be made of,concrete bricks, fully heated with continuously running fans and composting toilets that require seven-day-a-week maintenance. The total price tag is $218,000. The facility replaces two pit toilets at the day-use site at Wilgress Lake about 25 kilometers west of Grand Forks. "Mike Harcourt should be flushed with embarrassment that this luxury outhouse cost more to build than a new home in many communities in B.C.," said Symons. "This is definitely a bum deal for taxpayers who find their hard-earned tax dollars being wasted on a luxury outhouse. It's this type of ridiculous spending that angers the.public who dig deeper into their pockets to pay extravagant spending by elected officials." lit UNLOCK YOUR PENSION'S POTENTIAL!

By KUffT LANGMANN The complaints against _ Xtra West have nothing to do with it being a homosexual publication, but are purely about some of the repugnant personal classifieds it carries. Homosexuality in tlie community is a fact, a historical reality, and they exist at all levels of society; in business or on welfare, in politics and in service industries, and so on. Perhaps one of Langley township's most colourful lesbian taxpayers is kitschy torch singer K.D. Lang, but most prefer to remain best known for something odier than their sexual preference — K.D. Lang's talents as an entertainer are the most important aspect of her success, are they not? Some gays are left wingers like Svend Robinson, some are to the right of Rush Limbaugli; most are somewhere in the centre. In the more than 20 years I've worked at The Star I've met so many gays that it's not a surprise any more when I meet one in the community. I have no interest in, or any idea about how numerous they may be,; but look in the per- sonals columns of some papers and the Man to Man section can be as long as the Woman to Man section. And I know for a fact that some of these people might enjoy the editorial comments of Xtra West but also object to die kinds of tasteless classifieds published, feeling that these references to sado-masochism and children- marginalize homosexuals by perpetuating stereotypes. Most homosexuals, like most heterosexuals, are not interested in interfering with children or in hurting consenting adults. The public can be very accepting of homosexuals — it's a non- issue. Look at Whistler's mayor Ted Nebbuling, who recendy won a B.C. Liberal nomination on the North Shore. He gained international press when his council enacted a bylaw that fined foul-mouthed lugs who cussed in public. It sounds so quaint and amusing, like Wild West ordinances against spitting chewing tobacco on the boardwalk, but it's an extremely popular bylaw. People are sick to death of die uncouth vulgarity that can go on in public places, and . Nebbuling has been fielding calls from mayors across the continent who think it's a great idea they'd like to duplicate for their communities. How does he do it? He's even been quoted as saying the bylaw's application will be discriminatory, because die target is not some hapless worker who accidentally drops heavy weight on his foot and lets loose widi colourful invectives, the target is boorish punks who intimidate Whisder's upscale residents and tourists with rude talk. Namely die civil rights of the average citizen outweigh the rights of so- called free expression, and if you don't like it, spend the money and take it to court. I could vote for a guy like Nebbuling, and obviously, so could and have a lot of others. Langley township mayor John Scholtens says the arguments against censorship are hypocritical, noting that certain types of pornography, and hate literature such as that of Ernst Zundel, are regularly banned by government. Some people consider pornography a form of hate literature — certainly, many experts agree that rapes and violent sexual crimes are more about exerting power over a victim than about sexual relations. In any case, Langley township council is not seeking a ban on Xtra West or leading a posse chasing the publishers out of town. Council merely wants the magazine removed from the reach of diildren, and this dovetails nicely with their work on bylaws to protect children from abuse on the streets of the community. The public may have some wrong-headed or out-dated notions about sexuality that need discussion and rethinking. A Calgary police officer who has Continued on page 11 She just doesn't care Pat Carney says she does not any longer care. Indeed, why should she? Or did she ever? Ms. Carney managed to get herself bumped into the Canadian senate by one Brian Mulroney just before the Tories were obliterated.

And one, at diat, who as a federal minister helped sink the country into the economical morass in which it now finds itself. Keep up the fight Editor, The Star, Sir, I send this letter to all those unfeeling people who made negative comments in regards to having heard enough about Melanie Carpenter. If all the creeps weren't on the streets you wouldn't have to. The reason Melanie is still in the news is because her father Letters invited Tlie Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community.

You become a victim of violence. I know, my youngest brother was murdered 11 1/2 years ago. Your grief and thoughts don't end when you bury them. Every time someone is murdered it's as if it happens to you all over again. I have been especially hit hard with Melanie Carpenter's death.

We need people like you to fight for what is right. SHERRIE GARRETT Aldeigrove What will happen before and after federal Finance Minister Paul Martin brings down his budget this month? We'll tell you. Absolutely nothing. The Liberals in Ottawa will continue to fiddle, but they won't have the guts to do anything else. Oh, there'll be some tax increases. Minor ones, mind you. Only as big as they dare go. And dial's what diey are sweating about right now.- Not too much, but certainly neither too litde to suit die powers that be. Tlie Goods and Services Tax will be renamed, and perhaps raised by half a percentage point. There'll be cosmetic cuts to the civil service, but no mandarin will lose his/her job. New bureaus will spring up. Law and order? More of the same. Certainly no mendon of improvements to die Young Offenders Act or revamping of the Parole Board in Martin's speech. The deficit will continue to bloom, die country's debt situation will race merrily on. Remember, you read it here first. FEDERAL DEBT Grim monument to power-hungry leaders By NIGEL HANNAFORD What a pathetic sight. There was the prime minister of Canada, fending off suggestions by the Wall Street Journal that in terms of debt management, Canada has become an honorary member of the Third World. It was bad enough that die suggestion should have been made. Tlie humiliation came from the bland assurances of the prime minister that everydiing was fine, there was no cause for alarm, when any moderately well-informed person can see that there is good reason for serious concern, if not outright alarm. Heavens, the -man is telling us we shall have the meanest budget in decades, for what? Because we have to meet our deficit reduction targets, deal with our debt and so forth. In die next breath he's telling us there's nodiing fundamentally wrong. As die captain of the Titanic said, "^e're just stopping to pick up some ice." Wiser people than 1 have had much to say about die state of die economy' in die last few mondis and almost all have offered their predictions. None is terribly good, die worst spell ruin for millions of people. I am not going to add to diis with a prognosis of my own. There is diis to be said of the Canadian government over die last 30 years, however: Far better dian any external enemy could ever have done, our own governments have so weakened diis country diat its survival is-questionable. In die early '60s, die national debt was negligible, income tax was less dian 10 percent, mort-' gages fluctuated around six percent and Canada was a prosperous country with one of the highest standards of living in the world. Joe Average could afford to raise his family without depending upon his wife's income and die country could afford and did maintain a military establishment diat bore some relationship to its place in die world. And for diose for whom this is the ultimate measure, die Canadian dollar was worth more dian die American dollar, somediing which remained tnie until the late 70s. We humans adapt poorly to prosperity. Given much, we want more. Some people have to enjoy the fruits of being part of government, the big salaries, the fancy offices, the opportunity to interfere in other people's lives and being considered noble for doing so, at least by the other snouts in the trough. So, of course, they began to bribe us with programs for this and enddements for that and right for everybody and responsibilities were never mentioned. Never, that is, except when the industrious middle class whicli was paying for all uiis, was reminded of its obligation to declare all its income every April 30. It was their civic duty to provide the loot for the politicians to bribe die public widi. There was even a school of diought that argued that it was smart for governments to run a deficit now and dien; it would boost the economy when it was down and they could always pay it back when tilings picked up. Nice theory. The problem was human nature. Nobody ever wanted to pay back what they had borrowed if it meant cutting somebody off the gravy train. Well, once diey realized they didn't have to say no to anybody who wasn't in uniform and diat they could just borrow more and more, the bankruptcy of die country was inevitable. So here we are. You see, diere's nothing terribly difficult about economics. Get rid of die jargon and the principles are radier obvious, die first of whicli is diat you can't spend more than you earn indefinitely and die second being diat compound interest is nice to receive but a killer to pay. Young children could have made wiser decisions dian our government if die situation had been explained to diem in terms diey could grasp. So what we have here is essentially a moral failure, the triumph of greed over common sense and public duty.. It's no good pretending that people like Pierre Trudeau, under whom die rot started, or Brian Mulroney under whom it ripened, were fools. They are not. Their failure is that diey wanted power too much and would spend anything to get it and keep it. They also attracted a mixed bag of followers, the worst of whom were paraded before us weekly as their scandalous dealings were exposed. As for Chretien and his padietic denials, it couldn't have fallen to a more fitting person to utter them. He, after all, was finance minister for Trudeau and played his part in getting the national debt show on the road. Wait for him to tell us that, "Ey, in 1981, interest rates were 20 percent." Ah, yes, well it's alright then. As for the Wall Street Journal, they are a bit quick to consign us to the Third World. Our phone systems still work and our water is still good to drink. And once we've sold them both to the Yanks, we'll be New W_>rld again. But let's just hope Canadians learn' something from all of this.

Gold Key closing gap AI.DERGROVF - Playing away to die currant Canadian amateur champions was tbe daunting task facing Gold Key United on Sunday, Feb. 5. To add to dieir concerns, due to sickness and injuries, diey could only field a healdiy eleven and one semi-injured sub. Playing as well as possible they held Coquidam scoreless in the first 25 minutes, until they allowed a "highlights" to go in to make die score 1-0 in the Coquidam Strikers favour. Tlie Strikers were not allowed to score again until the 28 minute mark of the second half. In between die first and second goals Gold Key had several forays in die Coquidam end of die field. On two occasions diey were unlucky to not score and tie die game. Coquidam scored twice more late in die game to bring die final score to 4-0 for diem. Coach John Deacon said "I was surprised how well we contained die Strikers. Although diey are a better team dian us, we made diem really work for dieir victory. We are probably 3-4. premier quality type players away from matching diem." He went on to say, "Tlie gap is closing; widi some excellent players available to us next year from die U-19 program we will become more and more competitive." Next game for Gold Key will be on Sunday, Feb. 12 away to Marlins B team at Frank Hurt. Kick-off 10 am. Bantam B's get one of each in week The Aldergrove Pac Can Bantam "B" team is nearing die end of their league schedule with three games over the last week. Tlie competition has been fierce as the teams are all preparing for playoffs. On jan.28 the Bruins hosted Seafair, a team which has gready improved over die last two mondis. Seafair scored first in die first period in a close checking game but the Bruins replied with two goals in die second period, die first by Justin Billinghurst, assisted by Mike Shipley and the second by Derek Day from Derek Van Der Burch. Aldergrove held the lead until die 4 minute made of the third period when Seafair came back to tie it up. It was a seesaw batde until the 10 minute mark of die diird when Darren Caldwell put Aldergrove ahead widi assists going to Derek Day and Shannon Kobliuk. The lead held up until diere were only 26 seconds left in die game with die face-off in die Aldergrove zone. Seafair won die draw, two quick passes and die game was tied. Tlie boys played a good game widi very few penalties and it was unfortunate that diey came away widi a 3-3 de rather than a win. Tlie team had a week's layoff and then travelled to Kensington on Friday, Feb.3 to take on the Burnaby Winter Club. Tlie boys came out with lots of jump and took a 2-0 lead in the first widi goals by Darren Caldwell, assisted by Mike Shipley and Ryan McAdams, assisted by Kevin Roberts. The teams traded goals in the second. Aldergrove's goal came from Derek Day widi assists going to Ryan McAdams and Mike Shipley. Aldergrove pulled away in the third on a two-goal performance by Darren Caldwell with Ryan McAdams and Mike Shipley teaming up again on Darren's first goal and Derek Day passing it off to give Darren his hat trick.

Late in die second, a five minute major penalty to Aldergrove allowed PoCo to take the lead 3-2. This held up until diere were 7 seconds left in die game when PoCo intercepted a clearing pass and put it into the empty net. Gerry Tucker played a very strong game in tlie nets for Aldergrove.

We went to play hockey in Kerrisdale - but didn't. The Allied Windows Pee Wee A Bniins suffered an ignominous 1-8 defeat at the hands of the Vancouver Thunderbirds Tuesday of last week and we've only ourselves to blame. They were all over us from the start and we were lucky to get away with only two goals scored against us at the end of the f irst. We were hoping for a better second. But thirteen seconds into the period they had scored again. Hope was restored a minute later as Matt Roberts, took a loose puck in the (Corner, skated behind the net and passed up to Mike Haber. Mike one- timed it to the right corner and we were on the board and in the game! But the Thunderbirds were only a minute behind us in scoring their fourth. As the period progressed, hope again began to surface - we wefe holding them. Shane Marchant, in goal for the Bruins, was overworked but still doing his job. Then with less Uian two minutes left in the period, disaster struck. Shane had made a nice glove save that just wouldn't stay in his glove. If it weren't for bad luck... Davis Parley took over the goal and was not long in finding out what Shane had been up against as Vancouver came in for goal number six. Third period saw two more goals for the Thunderbirds, including a last minute shot that took their tally to eight. Where are those eight minute third periods when you need them? We had a few good chances tonight but luck seemed to have abandoned us. There were the heart- breakers; like the breakaway shot ' that rose up and up and over the net, clearing it by a good two feet; and then there was the ground shot that kissed the inside edge of the goal post and died there. Shake it off Bruins and put this one behind you. We are looking ahead to a better week with three games left to take us to the end of our schedule. Thursday on home ice versus the Chilliwack Chiefs; Friday in New Westminster we are up against the Royals; and Saturday we are back at home to take on Killarney. Next week we are into Uie playoffs.

Money may be gender neutral, but demographic changes and cultural shifts have given women more financial power over the past ten years. An increasing number of women in the workforce, high divorce rates, the maturing "baby boom" generation, and mortality figures that favour women have put huge amounts of wealth in the hands of an increasing number of independent women. As more women find themselves in control of large sums of money, many are seeking to learn more about investing so they can keep that money growing and plan for their financial futures. Some women simply never thought they would have to handle financial matters on their own. Others, with multiple priorities competing for their time, delayed learning about inventing. Today, whether by necessity or choice, more women are seeking training and advise to help them gain greater control of their financial furtures. Women now make up about 45% of the Canadian workforce, that's double their presence in I960. Out of the country's 37 million women aged 18 years and over, more than 27% work full-time outside the home. Women occupy 40% of all managerial and administrative positions in the Canadian workforce, and account for nearly 30% of doctors and dentists. Every woman needs to be responsible for her own finances. If you are in the workforce, you are probably part of those who earned one-third of the national income in 1990. Eightly to ninety pt^r cent of all women will have to handle their own finances at some point in their lives. And approximately 75% will be widowed or divorced before age 50. Whether you're on your own or with a spouse, it's better to be educated now so you're not thrown into this responsibility during a crisis situation. It's better for you to be involved in the financial planning process that affects you from the onset. ^?1P. The key to financial success is planning. You begin with your goals, set priorities and a timetable, then you finish with a plan that will allow you to do the things you want — own a home, send your children to college, live comfortably in retirement, and see that your estate is passed on to your heirs smoothly. Remember, financial security is not a gender issue, but a necessity for everyone. And, the time to start saving for a financially secure future is now.

Langley wants mag out of reach LANGLEY - Councilor Muriel Arnason told township council Monday that she has removed herself from voting on distribution policy regarding a controversial tabloid at Fraser Vfclley Regional Library board's special ' meeting, Feb. 8. Her alternate, coun. Heather McMullan said she would be "happy to support" council's compromise of keeping Xtra! West behind library counters for distribution on demand of adult customers. Arnason said she could not "compromise the principles of right of expression" and also pointed to council's initial Jan. 9 motion of asking the libraries to withdraw Xtra! 'VCfest and "these types of publications." She told The Star, Tuesday that, "I did not hear anyone say that this letter should be withdrawn." Couns. Mel Kositsky, Trudi Campen and Steve Ferguson all said at Monday evening's meeting that they were content with the opinion of FVRL lawyers that such publications could legally be kept out of reach of children, even if a ban was not possible.

The purpose of this group is to lend emotional and practical support to people who are dealing with cancer, both the person with the cancer and the people who are surrounding that person. All the volunteers have pergonal experience with the challenges that are faced as an individual, a parent, a spouse, a child, and a friend. None are professional counsellors, but all have a sincere desire to help people in their time of need. "Although this group is sponsored by the Seven Oaks Alliance church, this group is not limited to members of the congregation. If you know of someone,that you feel would benefit from having someone to talk to please let us know," said Doris McMillan.

Bruna Olszewski came second with 6250, and Harry Ritchie third with 5610. And fourth winner was Pauline Thu with 5520. Ralph Peterson won the draw. Forty-seven attended the Wednesday dance. Tliree prizes were given out for the 50-50 draw. Winners were Gordon Healy, Elsie Zintel and Chuck Bright. Spot dance winners were Helen and Roger Dion. Pete Keblao's birthday was duly noticed and so it should be. Pete is 83 years young and still providing music for tlie dancers as a member of tlie Happy Gang. On Saturday Feb.4 eighty- five were out for a night of dancing. Door prizes went to John Ewanchu and Claude Lavasseur. 50-50 draw was won by Chris Lockhart, Chuck Bright and Bertha Doll. A couple from Mission were first time visitors, Mr. and Mrs. Woodson (didn't get their first names). The Spot dance was won by tlie Wocxlsons and the second spot by Carol Bick and Henry Singer. Norm and his Peppy Shakers will provide the music for both dances this week. Incidentally I've been taking quite a beating over the prediction of the number of tables for the February Whist party. It appears in last week's column that I said we had nine tables in January and we're trying for two in February. Someone made a mistake because my wish was for ten tables. Carpet bowling drew a smaller crowd, only two carpets. Several of our regulars were away attending a funeral, others were sick so our crowd diminished. But it was a fun afternoon and we'd welcome anyone who is interested in joining the carpet bowlers. The Choral Group will be singing this week at Jackman Manor. I would like on behalf of tlie OAPO #71 to extend our sympathy to Alma Verrault in tlie loss of her son Barry. Alma is a long time resident here and Barry has had a trucking business in this area for several years.

With a home crowd cheering ihem on, the Spartans battled with Cariboo in the.first half of Friday's game. Going into the second half with a tight 47-41 lead, TWU sprinted ahead as six.of their 14 three-pointers wore scored within a'four minute span, breaking the game open for the Spartans. Vince VanDyk (Abbotsford) led the scoring with 25 points, while Andrew Hayes (Ottawa) and Marty Penninga (Kelowna) each added 14. TWU's victory was short-lived, however, as the floundering Spartans were unable to catch Langara College on Saturday. Trailing 36-27 at the half, the Spartans managed to cut Langara's lead to 60-55 with four minutes to go. Out-of-sync and unable to pass them, TWU lost by 13- "It was a bad night for us," stated Coach Teer, "and we didn't deserve to win." Scott Dolff (Regina) led all scorers with 23 points. . A 10-2 record for the Spartans forces them to share first place with Malaspina College, who were previously ranked second. As the Spartans.'attempt to regain first place for themselves, they are looking forward to their final home game of the season on February 17 at 6 pm where they will play Camosun College.

Kell, Manager Telephone: 533-6019 5-2 ALDERGROVE - The western Line Painting Atom "A" Bruins were back in good form in Cloverdale playing the Cloverdale Colts on Tuesday night. Things got under way two and a half minutes into the game when Cory McKinnon broke up a rush by the Colts forwards, getting the puck over to Russell McKinlay. Russell started up the ice as most of tlie Cloverdale players turned fo follow. Heading for the net, Russell let go a hard shot beating the Celts goalie. With the score one to zero Jason McGovern headed up ice to do rassel and dassel tlie Cloverdale defense by doing a wraparound attempt on die Cloverdale goalie. Jeff Toth was able to put the rebound into the net. Seconds later Jeff Toth passed over to Jason Garrison and Jason to a shot on the net This time Jason McGovern was the one to put in the rebound to make the score 3 to 0. The Colts would score three minutes later when they were on the power play. A few plays later Russell McKinlay was able to get the puck up to Matthew Keith who in turn scored after a good second effort. With a minute and a half Bobby Orr, I mean Jake Boake picked up the puck in front of our net, circled around behind Team off to raging start By Joe Morrison The Aldergrove "Atom B" Hewitt and Co. Bruins were back in action again this week with a trio of games, the first of which was at home against North Delta. The high energy 1st period got off to a raging start, and the fast pace would continue until Aldergrove was handed 2 consecutive penalties that all but destroyed their momentum. North Delta continued to dominate until the end, and came out on top leading 3-0. North Delta continued with their momentum in the 2nd, as the home team was continually bogged down by penalties. The visitors took a 5-0 lead before the Aldergrovians finally replied with a strike at 0:19- Greg Hoffman grabbed the puck behind the North Delta net, but he was continually thwarted in his attempts to cehter it. He finally shoved the rubber disk in front where Todd Hagen let go a blasting one timer to get the home team on the board. The Hewitt and Co. Bruins «came to life in the third period, but they weren't able to get it past the opposing goalie. Rich Pearce had the only goal in the 8:00 3rd, when he intercepted the puck in his own zone, took off and blasted by everyone, then ripped a shot by the goalie's glove. It was a great goal but too little too late. The game ended 5- 2. The Hewitt and Co. Bniins were back in action the following Saturday, as they took on the Coquitlam Warriors on the road. The Warriors jumped out quickly to a 2-0 lead with goals at 14:35 and 14:10 and would round out the period with a power play goal against the continually blitzed Aldergrovians, at 0:23 to take a 3 goal lead into the 2nd. The high speed 2nd period opened the play considerably, but the Warriors struck again at 6:36 to take a 4-0 lead. But then, instead of collapsing, the visitors went into overdrive and surged back. Rich Pearce, with shades of Thursday in his head, again exploded down the ice, but this time threw it in front at the last moment to Keith Howson-Jones who deflected it in. on the far side to get the Hewitt and Co. Bruins on the board. Next at 2:43 Keith Howson- Jones intercepted a pass and rumbled down the right side for a 2 man breakaway, then whipped it in front to Parker MacDonald who banged it by the goalie to make it 4-2. The Aldergrovians got one more at 2:40 when Parker MacDonald threw the puck into a melee in front. Somehow Jordan Stangle managed to slam the puck by the goalkeep, and the period ended in a 4-3 score. Coquitlam re-established a 2 goal cushion at 11:17, but from then on Aldergrove goalie Will Parley shut the door, making several spectacular game saving saves. That allowed the visitors to pull within one at 7:59. Zac Hogan kept the puck in the zone and gave it to Todd Hagen who bounced it off the boards to Parker MacDonald. He spun around the defenseman, . walked in on net and swept it around the goalie. Score 5-4 Warriors. A wild scramble ensued the rest of the period, but somehow Aldergrove tied it up after a .melee ensued in front of the Warrior's net and the puck was banged in. The goal was credited to Parker MacDonald with the assists to Jamie McKay and to Keith Howson-Jones. And that's how it ended as the( Hewitt and Co. Bruins completed an extraordinary comeback and came out widi a 5-5 tie. Parker MacDonald recorded a hat-trick (3 goals, 1 assist) and Keith Howson-Jones had 3 points (1 goal, 2 assists). Aldergrove had one more game. This time on Sunday against Chilliwack. And if some games are barn burners, this one left the place in cinders. Chilliwack opened tlie scoring with a goal at 14:04, but from then on, it was all Aldergrove. Jamie McKay scored at 8:50 with an assist to Parker MacDonald. Then the visitors went in front with a goal by Zac Hogan at 7:38 with an assist to Rich Pearce. Then again it was Aldergrove with a goal at 3:46 with it credited to Keith Howson-Jones, the assist went to Parker MacDonald. Chilliwack got another one at 3:26, but Aldergrove had one more in the first at 1:50 with it going to Greg Hoffman. Chilliwack came back with a marie at 7:35 to make it 4-3, but the Hewitt and Co. Bruins erupted for 3 goals in less than 2 minutes. They were: 6:33-goal: Jordan Stangle, assists: Parker MacDonald, Keith Howson- Jones. 6:24-goal: Parker MacDonald, assists: Brandon" Spencer. 4:56-goal: Greg Ne\ifeld, assist: Rich Pearce. Chilliwack had one more at 2:15 to make it 7-4 but the slaughter continued in the third. It went as follows: 12:43-goal: Jordan Stangle, assist: Parker MacDonald. 7:17-_goal: Rich Pearce, assist: Greg Neufeld. 5:31-goah Jamie McKay, assist: Scott Cleeve. And so it finally ended as Aldergrove won 10-4. What can you say Chilliwack got whacked. Parker MacDonald recorded 5 points (1 goal, 4 assists) to give him 9 points in 2 games. Keith Howson-Jones earned 2 points (1 goal, 1 assist) to give him 5 points in 2 games. Other notables are: Jamie McKay (2 goals), Rich Pearce (1 goal, 2 assists), Jordan Stangle (2 goals), Greg Neufeld (1 goal, 1 assist). Whew! Sip The Aldergrove "Atom B" Hewitt and Co. Bruins' next. home game is (okay everybody) on Thursday at 6:45. The opponent: Ridge Meadows. our net and headed up ice. Picking up speed as he went Jake- went around most of the Colts players as they tried to stop ' him. With a nice litde flip shot Jake beat the goalie making the score 5 to 1. With only seconds left in the period the Colts got their second goal of the night. The second period saw only one goal scored as Aldergrove did everything but put the puck in the net. The goal they got was Jason McGovern's second of the night. Matthew Keith and Jason Garrison got the assists. Hie third period had both teams get one goal to end the game at 7 to 3. Jason McGovern got his third and hat trick for the night with another patented McGovern goal. Jake Boake got the assist on this goal. Ricky Morrison was called into action as goalie tonight and did a great job protecting our net. The next night had the . Langley Eagles in Aldergrove to play our Western Line Painting Bruins. The game started out with both teams making some very good plays to keep things exciting. From end to end both teams displayed excellent offense as well as very good defense. It was with one minute left in the first period when Russell McKinlay took the puck end to end before beating the Langley goalie with a nice wrist shoot. The second period stayed very close and the score didn't change at all to prove it, but you could just feel that the Bruins could break loose at any minute. The Langley goalie was really playing good hockey thus keeping the Bruins at bay. The start of the third found Matthew Keith breaking the stand off after taking a mee pass from Kyle Olinek. Thirteen seconds later Kyle Olinek took a quick shoot at the Langley net, scoring and giving the Bruins a 3 to 0 lead. The game stayed close in play but the two quick goalies seemed to take a bit. of the fight out of Langley. Half way.through the last period Jeff Toth finished off the scoring for the night with the help of Jason Garrison and Kyle Olinek. Clinton Pahlke played a good game in goal and recorded a shut-out for his nights work. As we have said before, keep.working as a team and things will pay off in the end as the past several games have shown. NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT THE MAT FOR YOU!

From page 4 spearheaded a western Canada effort to get children out of the street sex trade says we're in denial if we think prostitution is anything else but sustained child abuse. Maybe I'm simple but bis theory makes sense to me. His network of parents, police, judges, lawyers and social workers and other volunteers have succeeded in getting dozens of kids off the streets and into safer environments, so he walks the talk. He requires sworn commitment to the cause — cutting bureaucratic red tape to expedite removal of the kids' obstacles to an abuse-free life ~ which shows what a united effort can accomplish under clear leadership. My point here? An awful lot of so- called straight men pursue a sick interest in children, and we should support those who stand up and fight it. We've been beseiged lately with outrageous violent sexual crimes — Pamela Cameron, Melanie Carpenter — and I don't think the public is ready to tolerate even consensual S&M. A recent case of three English men who claim they accidentally smothered a fourth man during a round of consensual S&M is an absurd example of what we'll see in our courts should the deviant practice be enshrined in our laws or otherwise tolerated by society. It may be difficult to rally public sympathy for victims of violence who live outside the law, such as the hookers who are murdered, but the abundance of those cases make a compelling argument for finding ways to work within society's rules. Fears of rabid censors burning books at the library are unfounded; the public wouldn't stand for witchhunts against gays in the arts or other fields. For one, anyone sophisticated enough to make it through several hundred pages of Oscar Wilde or William Burroughs is intelligent enough to tackle a wide range of social issues and make appropriate judgments of their own. For another, how can you compare literature, even in its lesser forms as found in a newspaper or magazine, with an anonymous solicitation for sex, even if some of these ads are nothing more than vile fantasies? If Xtra West can't screen out ads that are offensive, their plight with the library board won't garner my sympathy. Children and youths are vulnerable and deserve protection from exploitation. ifflL 'aCder ohbVg sfifljs&fehbAR^/iiiiftff fr Social housing a mess, says council Cloud fountains, liquid colour changes, and flashes of light make up just a few of tlie experiments audiences will see demonstrated at Uie Chemistry Magic Show, being prepared for the University College of the Fraser Valley's Open House on March 31 and April 1. Donors make lung'94 goal ALDERGROVE - Just-released figures show that Aldergrove-area residents donated $6,206 to the latest Christmas campaign, helping the British Columbia Lung Association surpass its 1994 goal of $1.5-million. The Aldergrove donations were part of a record $1.54-million raised across the province as of the January 31 end of tlie four- month campaign. "We're proud of Aldergrove's role in the 1994 campaign, especially with the tough economic conditions that affect many people," says Margaret Gervan, tlie association's Aldergrove-area chairperson. "We had been unsure of meeting the provincial goal, but the generosity of our community and others made tlie difference." The record Christmas Seal total is about six per cent more than last year's and marks the first time since 1991 that the campaign has kept pace with the Consumer Price Index. Gervan notes that, "it was crucial for us to make up losses due to inflation over the past three years. I I I AirC®jp(E jjffective Cert. Repairs. Piitest In&ections. Original .

Local man charged in robbery LANGLEY - An 18 year-old man has been charged with tlie January 13 attempted armed robbery of Generation Hair Design. During the incident a gun was produced and a struggle ensued in which the victim was struck on the side of the head. The suspect dropped tlie gun and fled. The victim's injuries were not serious. Robert Ryan Franks appeared in Langley Provincial Court on February 7. Police are investigating otiier outstanding robberies for which he is believed to be responsible. LANGLEY - The township is giving the GVRD one year to Clean up its record on its social housing, after receiving a report from uie GV Housing Corporation which reviewed its performance and detailed reforms that should be undertaken. Councilors here were scathing in criticism of the GVHC's problems with high vacancy rates, high administration costs and ineffectiveness in delivering housing to those who most needed it. However, coun. Trudi Campen said council should "take no further action" pending tlie GVHC's promise to deliver tlie needed changes, and the majority of council agreed. Coun. Heather McMullan was opposed, and suggested that "effective management" was an "oxymoron" in this case, citing the fart that a mere eight percent Greens sing blues LANGLEY - Phasing in of higher mill rates for golf courses here has some owners crying tlie blues. Golf courses had previously paid 12 percent of tlie residential mill rate, but recent bylaws have that going up to 80 percent over a five year period. The manager of Meadow Gardens Golf Course asked to meet with council to discuss the increases, but council says it's being applied to all eight township golf courses in an effort to "share the tax burden." Still, coun. Muriel Arnason sympathized with owners over the "tremendous increase... but it's been low for so long." Administrator Jim Godfrey said the neighbouring municipalities charge golf courses between 60% and 100% of the residential mill rate, and that the local school levy on golf courses is already at 106%. of GVHC's social housing tenants required rent assistance, and only 13 percent of tenants had annual incomes less than $20,000. "The GVRD shouldn't be involved; they're a non-elected body." Mayor John Scholtens concurred widi McMullan: "If we left food distribution to government we'd all be starving. (Social housing) comes at great expense to taxpayers." Couns. Steve Burton and Mel Kositsky said it was better to improve it than to dose it down, noting that Coquitlam mayor Lou Sekora "was adamant that they will fix the problems" and that the housing was one of tlie GVRD's few revenue generators. "With a 75% occupancy rate?" asked Scholtens. "They've got one year to come around, and if they do, great."

For years he has been told not to plan before April or May but every year as soon as there is a sunny day after Christmas he is out working in the garden. Every time he does this it frosts again or pours with rain and his seeds are washed out or frozen. I have tried telling him he is so dumb to continue with this urge to plant but he ignores me and does it anyway. To top it off he pays double for seeds because he has to buy more later. He is 74 years old. How can I make it clear to him that every year he gets dumb, er and dumber? Signed: The Dummy's wife. Dear Dummy's wife, If telling him for years that he is dumb has not made an effect on him, you may as well forget it. At least when he is in the garden you know where he is and if it gives him pleasure it isnt that harmful. Live and let live seems the right thing to say here. My Dear Annabelle, Several months ago I met my friend Major Letdown at the Legion here in town. "Downie", as we called him on the old campaigns during the BIG ONE, 1914-1918, was like a brother to me and helped me, as I him, over some rough spots as young lads in the trenches. To get on with it, "Downie" came to visit with his sister, a handsome woman who I was taken with immediately. The lady's name is Pearl and I am thinking seriously of asking her to be mine. Now you know, Annabelle, that I have survived the slings and arrows of this world for well over four-score years and I am not what you would call a spring chicken but my love for Pearl has made me young at heart and I think I am capable of making this lady happy. The only thorn in the ointment, as it were, is the fact that our ages are quite far apart., But, in affairs of the heart, what matters if one partner has seen a few more summers than the othser? What matter if, when I reach the century mark, my true love is 112? I find older women fascinating. Signed: Brig. Hugo (Huge) wallop (Ret.). Dear Huge, Go for it! But be sure to change your will so your lady is not left unprovided for. And, at your wedding, there will be no problem about finding that "Something Old."

The differences are clearly defined. Colors: From infancy, a female is much better at defining and appreciating colors than a male, and color blindness, common among men, is rare in a woman. She can actually "see" more color than a man, which may explain why she seems better able to match the curtains and carpets in the home. Keeping warm: In winter, a woman can usually stand the cold better thanks to the advantage of having a layer of protective fat just under her skin. Courage: Skeletally and muscularly, man is the more efficient machine. In 99 cases out of 100 he is physically stronger. But he's less brave than a woman. Her greater resistance to pain has been proved medically and they are less afraid to keep hospital appointments or visit dentists. Sexual morals: A married woman generally is much more sexually moral than her husband. He is more likely to be promiscuous, enjoy a dirty joke and want to see a sexy film. Taste: Women can identify sweet, sour, salty and bitter at very low concentrations better than men. Hearing: Women can often hear higher frequencies on the average than men. Touch: Women are more sensitive than men in many more areas of the body, including their forearms and certain parts of their legs. Dexterity: Women tend to have better manual dexterity and are able to do much finer work with their hands than men. Puberty: Puberty lasts longer for men than for women, which is why it takes longer for boys to reach full development. THE ALPEmSROVE>5TAR,« FEBfftfARY 8, idfeVJggy *' '~&WF It's a high-style treat Quarrels: According to Zelda West- Meads of Relate, women tend to start more quarrels because they can't get anything done about long-term problems. The average man would prefer to let sleeping dogs lie. Marriage: Men need marriage more than women do, says Dr. Norval Glenn, professor of sociology at the University of Texas. "Men are less able to fulfill their needs for close companionship outside of marriage," he says. "It's vital for their emotional health." Drivers: A Gallup poll on behalf of General Accident Insurance found that women were bottom of the danger list as causers of road accidents. Weight: Men worry about putting on weight more than women, but tend to do little about it. Women usually gain weight below the waist while men put on the pounds above the belt. Money: The average woman is a better manager of money than the average man. In-laws: A wife is more likely to get along well with her in-laws than a man will with his. Neighbors: Women are friendlier to them, but a man borrows more often from a neighbor. Books: Women read more books and magazines than men. Hobbies: More women than men follow a hobby, go dancing, go to evening classes, see a movie and enjoy walking. Superstitious: According to a recent survey, women are more superstitious than men and twice as many of them regard black cats as lucky. Jobs: Women change jobs more readily than men, especially when their work is repetitive and offers no challenge. Alcohol: Women get drunk faster than men, probably because they usually weigh less then men. Treat yourself to a new experience that will be a lot of fun.

Ducks get grounded ALDERGROVE - The Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks played the league-leading < Dawson Brill Bruins on Saturday Feb. 5- The Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks knew the challenge ahead and came out soaring. In the first two minutes Ryan Martin scored a nice goal with help from Line mates Alex Wismer to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead. The Mighty Ducks Jacob Harder was called for a penalty but that only led to another goal by Ryan Martin to see the Ducks jump out 2-0. Faster than you could say upset in the making the Bruins tandem of Jake Morris and Ted Vickers went to work to combine for three quick goals to give the Bruins a 3-2 first period lead. The second period was a letdown for the Mighty Ducks as nothing could go right; the Bruins scored two-goals to go up 5-2 only to have Ryan Martin feed Alex Wismer with a nice pass and Alex hammered it home to bring the Mighty Ducks to 5-3 and still a chance. The Bruins scored another to end the second period up 6-3 The third period saw- a better effort from the Ducks; Ryan Martin scored on an end to end msh for his third goal of the game to bring the Ducks to 6-4. The Ducks stormed die goal and came up dry, Jacob Harder was going in on a breakaway from centre only to be called on alleged two line pass, Eric McGovern and his goal posts got in our way on several chances. It was a good lesson, for the team that the game is sixty minutes long, not forty. Ryan Martin and his line with Alex Wismer and Scott Harrington led the way offensively. Kris Armstrong had numerous scoring chances but could not get it past the Bruins' goalie, line mates Jordan DeGianni and Layton Lavik played well on the wings and were open for passes but we could no crack the Bruins' defense. Jacob Harder who started on defense and then moved to forward with Taylor Anderson and Jordan DeGianni had some good scoring chances but could not finish it off. Brian Jones with Kris Simpson and Matthew Kuzyk worked hard and Brian Jones just missed on a couple of scoring chances. The defense with Jacob Harder, Alan Olson, James McDonald, Andrew Wainwright, Taylor Anderson, Sean Simmons all played hard in front of goalkeeper Brodie Sorenson. Brodie made some really good stops each period to keep the Ducks in the game. The Bruins held the potent Teddy Vickers to two points but his scoring partner Jake Morris popped in five goals to lead his team; The Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks next game is on Tuesday Feb. 7, at 6:45 pm. iMMMMel Lutheran Church 3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove 856-4710 P.

Entering tlie tournament with two wins and a tie, the Spartans needed to win two of their three games this weekend. They did exactly that, defeating University College of the Cariboo 2-1 and Malaspina University College 4-2. The weekend's only dark spot was a 5-4 loss to Okanagan University College. John \&nDyck is congratulated for stepping into the goal- keeping position and doing an excellent job filling. Pat Wiebe's' shoes. The Spartans finished their season with record of four wins, one loss and one tie. Titan reps make up for lost time ALDERGROVE - The Titan on for another post-Christmas ALDERGROVE - The Titan Construction Bantam 'A' Rep. team have had their guns silenced lately, not by desire but by design as their schedule has had many vacant nights and weekends. The playoffs are just around the corner and rest should be out of the question as they have only played two games in the last two weeks. On Monday the 30th of January they travelled for a late evening affair at Killarney with the team's favourite referee calling the shot. The game was fast paced and very evenly played as Aldergrove opened the scoring with two quick goals. This only seemed to awaken the Killarney team as they came back with two goals of their own before the first period had ended. Aldergrove struck in the second period and hung on until Killarney evened the score once more. It wasnt until the dying minutes of the game when the Bruins took tlie lead and held on for another post-Christmas victory. On Monday past the rust of the long layoff showed on the Titan team as they hosted Ridge Meadows in their last scheduled home game of the season. Ridge Meadows struck early, very early in fact, scoring twice before the game was two minutes gone. This meant the challenge was there for the Bruins squad and they made a valiant effort as David Haber scored before the end of the first. Ridge Meadows scored- two more before the Bruin's Tanner Rattray was able to reply in the dying minutes of the game. The Bruins now head in to playoffs as they await notification of their first opponent. The team would like to thank all those who contributed to their bottle drive this past weekend. Community support in Aldergrove is great and certainly appreciated. [ Negotiating Affordable Land Claims In B.C Will Strengthen Our Economy. Continued uncertainty about our land and resources has cost British Columbia an estimated $1 billion in potential investment. Resolving treaties now will encourage investors to support our province and generate new jobs in our communities. Costs will vary from settlement to settlement - but costs would be higher without settlements. B.C's cash contribution to treaty settlements will average less than 17 per cent of the total under the cost sharing agreement with Ottawa. The federal government has the primary responsibility for the costs of land claims negotiations and for funding all treaty settle' ments. B.C's contribution will also include unoccupied Crown lands. All Treaties Must Be Affordable To B.C. Taxpayers. As noted, the federal government has primary responsibility for the costs of treaties. B.C's agreement with Ottawa means treaty costs in BC will be shared by all Canadians and any cash compensation to First Nations will be spread over a period of years.

Laughter; was I wrong By Lara Brodie Just when you figure you've got them all pegged, along comes a movie trailer that completely baffles you. My expectations of "Boys on the Side" did not include the need for several Kleenexes. Oh contraire! I saw the name Goldberg and anticipated an evening of dynamic laughter. Was I wrong. Instead of cinema-lite, I got Terms of Endearment meets Beaches. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but when you're geared up for a comedy and you're in a funky sort, of mood that demands laughter, a hanky movie is not altogether appreciated. Boys On The Side is a movie about the lives of three women, Jane, Robin and Holly. What a collection of problems these gals are. All three of them are trying to get away from something and they figure moving to another state will be the answer. I had the incorrect impression that this was a road movie; three women on the open road, lookin' for adventure, as the song goes. Wrong again. The road trip is soon over and the troops settle in Tucson where the women continue to profoundly affect one anothers lives. Whoopi Goldberg plays Jane DeLuca, she's a singer heading towards a gig on the west coast, she's also a lesbian. On the road with Mary-Louise Parker (Robin), an innocent looking real estate women who is HIV positive, they pick up Jane's friend Holly (Drew Barrymore) a girl who gets pushed around by her drug dealing boyfriend, she's also pregnant. The viewer gets treated to emotional hospital scenes, a strangely placed" murder trial and various emotional exchanges. As usual, multi-talented s Whoopi is wonderful, a la Sister Act, she sings for us, and does a lovely job of her songs. The ending is beautifully filmed. My advice to you is to see this movie only on a day that you're feeling particularly perky and upbeat because this type of drama does have a tendency to pull you down some. Thisf wouldn't be my first pick at the video shop, but tlie heartfelt performances are, indeed, worthy of a gander. nvitation to art LANGLEY - Arts Council's general meeting will be held February 15, 8 pm at Centennial Manor, 20645 Eastleigh Crescent.

But behind all die excitement of die U.S. satellite television service, one .Canadian company is already ahead of the competition using Canadian technology, and offering .the multi-channel universe that the Americans promise. It's often typical for Canadians to be dazzled by American technology and razzmatazz, but in the case of satellite television we are more than holding our own, and if it's choice and selection you want, you can't do better than to take a look at the distinctly Canadian line-up of extended service that is offered by TCI Home Entertainment, a division of Tee- SkyTRAK TV NKWSANI) VIICWS by Clive Hobson Comm Electronics Inc., a Milton, Ontario based company. The various TCI packages plus the myriad a-la-carte options that are available cover the full spectrum. For instance, if sport is your passion you can have it round-the-clock, from coast-to- coast 365 days of die year with coverage of everything from curling to polo, football to World Cup soccer, and just about everything else in between. The TCI sports lineup includes SSN which has 15 sports channels providing regional coverage of virtually every major and minor league team in North America. If sports drive you out of the house, or makes you want to stomp on the remote control, diere's other options. If you prefer news, business, and quality educational programming you can select from an extensive lineup that includes CNN, Headline News, CNBC, NASA, C- SPAN for your hard news, plus a plethora of educational options including University, MEU, The Learning Channel and PBS. If you have a special interest it's a good idea to scan the TCI line-up. This is the fastest growing segment of television programming, and if you have a passion, pursuit, hobby or avocation chances are good, that, someday soon, there will be a channel to cater to that niche. Meantime, the choice is still there, so die next time you're dazzled by die promises of the American satellite service, take a look closer to home - you might be surprised at die options.

Chocolate: You have to hide it Young agriculturists meet By Lara Brodie and Lois Bronk Since chocolate is a common gift around Valentine's Day, we wanted to know how chocolate affects your life? For example, during times when there is chocolate in our house and Mom is feeling weak she begs me to hide it from her. This can be quite problematic because I have even less willpower than Mom and if I hide it that means I know where it is and where it won't be much longer... will make you fat and lots of people like it. It makes me feel excited, energetic. It makes you hyper and makes you feel good! Chocolate makes you gain weight and it's good. It's gives you cavities, it can make your dental bill BIG. Steve Povey, 11 and Robbie Pearce, 11: It makes you hyper and it gives you gas. Chocolate 'tastes good, you have to hide it from people! John Baisley: Chocolate is good, nodiing wrong with it. It doesn't change my life at all. Very seldom do I eat it but when I do it's nice, I like it. Cody Urban, 11 and Brad Moore, 11: Chocolate is good, it Richard Murphy: Immensely. My wife loves chocolate so dierefore it affects me personally. I enjoy chocolate myself, I love chocolate. My kids love chocolate, who doesn't? Tara Murphy: I crave chocolate. I feel very satisfied after I eat it. Sometimes I have to go to the store at ten o'clock at night just to have a chocolate bar.

Spring is just around the corner By ANDY LARG So there I am on a morning train into the city and the fellow beside me is flipping through the pages of GQ magazine. The magazine falls open in an almost predetermined way, stopping at a full-page color ad for Eddie • Bauer's Adventurer Cologne. I turn away for a moment, only to hear an all too familiar sound. Yes, it is the sound of a fragrance strip being torn open. Within seconds, dozens of commuters are wriggling in an invisible cloud of cool citrus, aromatic herbs and warm wood spices. Some are pressing diemselves close to the windows in search of oxygen. Eddie Bauer is wreaking havoc on die 8:15- Owing to die fact that my sinus cavities are mere inches from the eruption, I am feeling temporarily embalmed. My eyes are watering. My windpipe is fully sterilized. I am unable to speak. The only people who seem strong enough to widistand die GQ meltdown are a couple of teenage girls, seated direcdy across fronrme. They are giggling and, oh oh, diey have produced a magazine of their own. - It is Vogue. The girls have located a fragrance add and are jostling over who gets to pull the strip. I give diem a look as if to say, "You wouldn't want me to puke on this train, now would you?" But it is too late. They have unleashed a 100- proof wave of stinkum, better known as Vivid by Liz Claiborne. And it is coming my way. Still locked in Eddie Bauer's passionate embrace, we are now awash FIRST AID TIPS! FROST-BITE "FROST-NIP" Signs: • area of skin whiter than the surrounding area - pain or stinging followed by numbness Caution I - Do not rub the frostbitten areas. Do not apply strong heat or hot water directly to the skin Do not apply snow. Treatment: - Warm the area in your hands or in an armpit * Medical Aid is advised for more severe frostbites. Count FIRST AID / C.P.R. EDUCATIONAL SERVICES in The Essence of Being. A fel low passenger articulates die social ramifications of these events by quiedy stating, "Whee- ooooooo!" I make a mental note to call die military and suggest that fragrance strips be used as anti-terrorist devices. * Who needs stun grenades when you can just toss in a few perfume ads? Then while the bad guys are busy catching dieir breath and asking each odier for dates, move in and make the arrest. Somehow I make my way to the exit doors. I stumble off die train gasping for air. Soon I am sitting in my doctor's waiting room. I leaf through a very safe magazine called Architectural Digest. But wait, do I detect a sweet odor? Suddenly, the magazine springs open and diere' before me is a fragrance ad for a scent called Gardenia Passion! All the way from Paris to my doctor's office. And the strip is already pulled! "Open here," says the ad, "and experience die romance of Gardenia Passion." Now, I like my doctor, but diat is out of the question. For a split second my mind plays tricks, and I see my doctor welcoming me with a bouquet of flowers, saying: "Is diat Architectural Digest you are wearing?" After my appointment, I bolt for tlie elevator. I now have diree completely unauthorized fragrances clinging to my clodies and body. They are beating up on my Old Spice. And die real crime of it all is two of diese fragrances are designed for women. On tlie way to die parkade, a lady gets on the elevator, turns to me and says (no kidding), "That's a nice cologne you're wearing." So now I am on my way to the bank. And I am sure diat people can see a fuzzy green aura surrounding me wherever I go. I am wondering how my bank manager will feel about loaning money to a guy who smells like a Thai bordello. Worse dian this, I am wondering how my wife will react when I return from my U'ip to die city. I suppose I can always tell her die truth.

Those ladies, I don't know where they get their energy and I have no idea how so few can do so much in the blink of an eye. You should just drop in for a peek at the new hardware section. All rearranged and cleaned up for the coming spring season. We'll look a little empty compared to our usual disarray but with a litde help from the community we should be full to the ceiling in no time. Those of you who came in for our half price sale last week should be enjoying your great bargains today. We were pleased to see such a good response. It helped us get ready for our clean-up an it gave us a chance to get things out from every nook and corner. Some things we haven't seen for years and to tell the truth, some things we would rather have left alone. It was great fun seeing so many happy faces leaving with bags and boxes of goodies. Our higher shelves, cleaner look and easier entrance will give us all a litde more elbow room. We will have a few minor changes but I think everyone will be surprised at how much easier it will be to shop ahd find just what you are looking for. We still do not have room for furniture but sometimes we will take an occasional dresser or bookcase. We still have to turn down large items; sorry. Your donated clothing and household items are sorted and priced by an all volunteer staff, then put on display for your shopping pleasure. We try to be fair and our group of workers are always ready to help you if they can. We have a list of items needed by customers that we keep posted, and try to call when those things come into the shop. We always welcome your donations which may be dropped off during our business hours. Mondays are work days and someone is around to bring donations in if you call first. Please keep in mind that the Aldergrove Thrift Shop, located on 272 Street, has been working for the community almost twenty years. All proceeds go back into organizations that need assistance and into community projects. A list of monies donated for 1995 is posted in each shop. We appreciate the support that Aldergrove has given us over the years. It's wonderful to know that people care about each other and it makes a difference in our lives. Many thanks to Roy Lockhart, Gibb and Roger Carrier for the assistance in rebuilding the shelving and of course moving things around for us on-Saturday. We would not have been able to do this major project without their help. Best of all they helped with smiling faces and good humour. A zillion thanks to the women who came in on Saturday, Sunday and Monday to put everything back in the place. But most of all, thanks to our faithful customers who come in each, week io "look see" and go home with so many good items. Each dollar spent wilh us is returned in so many ways. Look for our annual "Bag Lady" fashion show coming up soon. In lhe meantime I think I'll take a little rest. Spring cleaning always wears me out but the rewards are worth it.

The last proposal was withdrawn, when it was found to be too vague and difficult to implement. The new proposal calls for a feasibility study into tlie extension of the program, which was approved by the board. Opposed to the motion were trustees Diane Pona and Denny Ross. Trustee Donna Gittens said that she fully supports the feasibility study because many answers about the school cannot be answered without it. Acting superintendent of schools Alex Holm said that any questions and concerns trustees have should be outlined and would be included in the study. Concerns brought forward by trustees included the timing of it. There were concerns that if tlie proposal was brought back to the board on April 3, it may be too soon and conflict with the arrival of the new superintendent, Susan Everett. Holm told tlie board that Everett was aware of this proposal and that it would not conflict with her arrival in tlie district. Also, although seven weeks is not a lot of time, to have the program in place by September of this year they must act quickly. Richard Bulpitt, director of organizational development, added that the April 3 date fits within the district planning cycle. - Trustee Bruce Barnes said that he would like to see more details, about the content of the lessons in the form of a course selection guide and a course calendar. Pona said that she has concerns with references to board policies in the manuals, and she doesn't know if the philosophies are the same. The fundamental elementary schools are to report to the board on an annual basis, she said, but so far she has not seen an annual reoort. She also has concerns with the policies of zero tolerance and the idea of a dress code, wondering if they can be enforced under the new School Act. "I understand where the parents are coming from, and I know their intent is genuine, but I just don't see students' needs being addressed." she said. "It's going too fast. I'd rather do it well, slowly, than pushing." She also said that the district does not have the money for renovations that would be required to upgrade facilities at the proposed site of Langley Prairie, from an elementary to a secondary level. Ross said that he cannot support the motion unless there will be access to poor students. The school will be open to all students and parents in the district who are willing to comply with the rules, but Ross said it?s only open to the ones who can afford to get their sdiildren there. Board chair Linda Moir told everyone that tlie school needs a stan ing point to move forward from, and should be given that opportunity. She invited all trustees concerned to share their views before the study begins, so they can be properly addressed. Police don't object to checking it out ABBOTSFORD - Police have finished their investigation into suspidous circumstances in which two men were seen operating a blue pick-up truck in die area of Ridgeway Street. A school student reported it to police, who determined that no attempt was made to abduct or entice tlie child into tlie vehicle. The mother of the child and school authorities have been made aware of the outcome of this investigation. Police remind citizens to prompdy report all suspicious occurrences, so they can be cjuickly investigated. Class acts win local elementary students awards 2060 Motorcycles 2065 Snowmobiles ALDERGROVE - The Class Act Award is a partnership in education project initiated by McDonalds and Aldeirgrove area elementary schools. The class act program is designed to inspire student leadership through recognition of students who display leadership in the academic, athletic and citizenship areas. On a monthly basis each of the elementary schools in AJdergrove will select a senior level student who has exemplified himself/herself in one or all the leadership areas previously mentioned. Each monthly winner will be recognized at a school-wide assembly with the presentation of a perpetual trophy, t-shirt and certificate, being made with local McDonald's personnel and school officials. The winners for January are: Aldergrove Elementary: Paul Davis is a grade 6 student in the French Immersion Program. He is a very responsible citizen of Aldergrove Elementary School and community. He has an excellent attitude toward all of his school responsibilities. He is highly organized and completes all work on time. Paul is a resource person in his class who encourages and assists his classmates and gets along well with everyone. He is one of two student representatives on the School Leadership Team. Paul readily takes on responsibilities and offers suggestions to the team consisting of administrators, teachers, support staff and parents. Paul speaks French with ease and can handle difficult situations and . assignments. He is a true diplomat.
