.■W4i4^«Wi! ^-S-wm^. :— —^— Courts§ asked to settle zoning issue ALDERGROVE - The controversial crematorium under construction here will be settled with a judicial review, after all. Councilor Trudi Canipen brought back township stafPs recommit!* dation to seek a judgment from. B.C. Supreme Court on the matter, to a special meeting of council Monday afternoon, where , her vote carried it. Canipen had been away on holiday the week before, when it was defeated by a diree-tliree split vote at council's regular meeting. Campen said the question could only be settled with certainty,!^ die courts, but on die odier hand, could not be delayed interminably. Township lawyer, ■Robert Baunian said that the summary application from the township could be heard within two or tliree weeks by die court r and Cariipen's motion diat a maximum of 40 days be allowed for a decision was approved by council. Personal Alternative Funeral Services has a development permit for die funeral home and crematorium at 3070 - 275A Street, but die building permit has been held back pending a resolution to die controversy. The holding company, Lawrence G. Little Management Corp. had purchased die lanfThere last summer, dfter township staff had confirmed in a March letter diat such a use was permitted in a C-3 zoned area. Architect's plans have been approved and die land has been cleared for construction, but no more work can be done without die building permit. Coun. Muriel Arnason said the crematorium oven would only occupy five percent of the funeral home's floor area, and diat the environment ministry monitors operations and there would be "no smoke or odours." She added diat die crematorium aspect would account for only nine percent of Personal Alternative's revenues and it would not be available for use by odier funeral homes, dierefore is "obviously accessory to the principal use of a funeral home." The court will be asked to rule on whedier a crematorium is a permitted accessory use to the principal operation of a funeral home. The latter is permitted within C-3 zoned lands, but opponents have argued diat die «tre- matorium is not A neighbouring businessman in die Station Street Industrial Park who has led the challenge to the proposed crematorium, Don Ramsay told council Monday that they are closing in on 1,000 names on their petition against die "accessory use." Ramsay said he was "opposed to a crematorium downtown" and countered Arnason's claim that it would only be a small part of the business, noting that storage of bodies, ashes and urns would Please turn to page 2 Ghostly night brings no trouble By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - The RCMP reports that there were no serious incidents on Halloween night. Constable Al Wakelin said that Monday night was very busy, and diey called in extra units to handle the load of calls, but most of the' complaints were about kids roaming the neighbourhood having firecracker wars. There were no reports of any injuries. Wakelin said diat diere was a group of about 50 "teens" ranging in age from 14 to 23 running around throwing firecrackers and eggs at people and cars, and buildings. There was only one arrest made in Aldergrove, a woman who was drunk at the Alder Inn. In die Walnut Grove area Uiere were about eight arrests made, most of them kids whose parents were called to pick diem up.

BRADNER - The residents of Marsh McCormick Road are up in arms over a proposed 160-foot Cantel cellular communications tower. Cantel and contractors, LeBlanc & Royal Telecom Inc. of Langley, have applied to Matsqui for a building permit for the red and white tower and aircraft light on property owiwl liy C. Wu- merdam at 29109 Marsh McCormick. Fifty residents rallied at Jubilee Hall on Oct. 26, to voice opposition and dieir petition was submitted by the Nov. 1 deadline set for public comments by the district. "Virtually all the residents of die area were strongly opposed to die tower, especially the next door neighbours, Jim and Linda Watkiijs, who rallied hard against the tower as it would' be a mere 150 feet from their house," said Henry Wilsenack. "In addition to all of diis new controversy, we already have a 120 foot BC Tel Mobility Cellular tower on our street, for which permit was given two years ago without community input, or approval. The proposed 160 foot tower is only several hundred feet away from this existing tower. Residents felt it was completely ridiculous and unfair that two towers be ■ located so close together on die same street. 'Why can't Cantel and BC Tel share die same tower?1 asked many people," said Wilsenack. The application will be considered by council this month. YOUNG CADETS THE LOSERS 'Bafflegab' makes no sense to soldiers ALDERGROVE - A restored barn used by local sea cadets has been the major beneficiary of charity bingo funds raised by the Fraser Valley Chief and Petty Officers' Association, but it appears that the ongoing Nanaimo bingo scandal has thrown a spanner into die works. Association spokesman, Bob Orrick told The Star diat they have been told by die provincial gaming commission that they are no longer allowed to donate to the Navy League of Aldergrove and die Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corp Columbia, because "community service clubs are not permitted to donate gaming revenue to odier community service clubs'" (See also letters to the editor). This fiat from the commission resulted in a vote by die association's executive and membership to suspend dieir weekly bingos. Orrick told The Star that he understood the need for new regu lations, in light of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society scandal, but die government "overkill" is hurting valid and worthy causes that have no relation to the. NCHS. 'They got caught widi their finger in the cookie jar," said a bitterly disappointed Orrick. "But this is a knee-jerk reaction." Liberal MLA and gaming critic, Ken Jones told The Star tliat he was "shocked" that the gaming commission would deliver such an ultimatum to the association over such a "worthy cause. This sort of tiling is what die (charity gaming laws) are supposed to support." However, Jones said that die new regulations were supposed to close loopholes that had. suffered abuse in die past and die new wording may have been wrongly interpreted somewhere between Victoria and the association's offices. He said he had been called over other public problems widi the new regula tions, and while diis was the first problem of this type diat he'd heard, he intended to pursue solutions. • The 45-member Chief and Petty Officers Association are made up of mosdy former service personnel who had worked at CFS Aldergrove and they have held Monday morning bingos at Aldergrove Mall expressly for the local Navy League and Sea Cadets, aldiough some funds have also been earmarked for the extended care home, Jackman Manor. Approximately $6",000 has already been given to die Navy League and Sea Cadets for materials used in rebuilding an old barn on the CFS lands, which the two groups use for meetings and drills, as well as storage of their property. The two groups are made up of youths from all over die valley, and membership is open to all interested in a possible future career in tlie military. However, when the gaming commission wrote, August 19, that the Sea Cadets were eligible for gaming revenues and the Navy League wasn't, the association members hit the roof. Orrick, who has worked in the Ottawa civil service and currently teaches English, says the bafflegab from die commission makes "absolutely no sense to me." Apparently, the gaming commission considers die Navy League a "community service club" and ineligble for gaming revenues, while die Sea Cadets don't fit into diat category, for some reason unknown to Orrick. "The membership doesn't see any difference between the two groups, except that the litde guys (and gals) graduate from Navy League into the Sea Cadet program," said Orrick. "They're one and the same in our eyes, and tlie membership decided it was all or nothing. We're proud individuals, and this is just too much BS for us to take, so we've discontinued die bingo."

Pub will go to plebiscite Work on a funeral home and crematorium in Station Street Industrial Park has stopped, while Langley township pursues a judicial review of the legality of the proposed business in the C-3 zoned area. Development permit has been issued but further work cannot be done at the site without the building permit, currently withheld while the township awaits the B.C. Supreme Court's decision expected this month. -Kurt Langmann photo Court will decide on crematorium's future WALNUT GROVE - An attempt by die mayor to postpone a plebiscite on a neighbourhood pub licence here was defeated by council at a special meeting Monday. Mayor John Scholtens suggested die delay because of die impact it could have on private ice arena applications currendy under consideration by the township. At last week's regular meeting, council had reluctantly allowed owners of the Travelodge at 20470 - 88 Avenue to proceed widi die neighbourhood referendum, with a polling firm chosen by die township, and paid for by Travelodge. Two other recent applications were turned down by residents, however Travelodge officials.had argued that their application was unique, ancl should be put to residents for their say. This week,. Scholtens argued that a class D licence at the motel may affect the operation of the privately-funded rinks, which probably will depend on revenues from dieir own licenced restaurant or lounge to succeed financially. "The >t-^ applicants, should have a social, benefit, ie, providing ice," reasoned Scholtens. There are two privately funded proposals for ice arenas in the Walnut Grove arei'that will soon come up for consideration by council, and the Travelodge pub "would beat our own proposals... this is not smart right now," suggested Scholtens. The $6- to $10- million arenas are "serious dollars for a serious need" and die Travelodge would not provide a "ball field or arena." Council disagreed, however, because Travelodge • would serve a different cljentle should dieir neighbourhood pub be approved. Travelodge could also change dieir status from motel to hotel, and dien acquire a hotel licence without plebiscite. A liquor licence at any arena would not recjuire a plebiscite, either, provided it was not for a neighbourhood pub. With those facts in mind, council reaffirmed their decision to let residents diere decide on Travelodge's application.

Driver pulled from tpe river by local man By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Local resident Jamie McNeil is a hero of sorts. He was driving between Maple Ridge and Mission when the car behind • him;- .guttled j out to pass, and hydroplaned into the river, abput 20 feet from shore. McNeil sioppecnms vehicle and ran down the embankment, to find die car completely submerged. After wading out;'to test the current he swam' out to die ear. and grabbed the driver and helped him to shore, where diey gave him a blanket and tried to keep him warm. It was about fifteen minutes before die ambulance aitived, having been called by someone witii a cellular phone who was driving by. As far as McNeil knows the driver suffered only minor injuries and major shock. "L haven't', heard any reports, but at the time it looked like he was going to be O.K, but whose to say what would have hap-, pened if I hadn't stopped. Odier people driving by would not have seen the car under the water and I don't think the guy could have gotten out of the car ancl up the embankment by himself." "I've been in a situation like diat myself, and it's really nice to know that there are people out there that are willing to help out." McNeil said that he was not injured in die rescue, but did catch a cold. Vandal arrested SURREY - RCMP have arrested 34 year-old John Wayne Fenton last Wednesday in connection widi tlie vandalizing of die Pamela Cameron memorial. They have also located and examined the vehicle believed to have been used by Fenton to damage the memorial by driving through it. He lias been charged with common nuisance and mischief in connection to the incident. He was also charged witii breaching his probation order. Fenton has been released from custody by a justice of the peace and will appear in Surrey Provincial Court again on November 29. • "This is a strong change in use," said Ramsay. "People should have been consulted." He also disputed claims of near-zero emissions from the ovens, and anodier resident, Brian McGrath told council diat White Rock residents have com- fijdined about occasional odours from a crematorium diere. "It's not the right area for it," said McGrath. "It's tlie last place I'd go for a funeral, next to car lots and glass shops." Another resident, Freida Clark told council she'd had no.opportunity "to get all the facts" on whether th(S|*£missions. would contribute to the "severe asthma attacks" she suffers because of air jpollution here. Coun. Headier McMullan was among councilors opposed to the application to the courts, because, "The municipality of Delta tried (a similar application regarding the same funeral home/ crematorium company) but die courts wouldn't -Ilear it... and we're asking the taxpayers to sue Ourselves..." Canipen said "the process has not evolved die way it should have" and - die court decision would "defuse die anger." With the endorsement of councilors Campen, Steve Ferguson, Mel Kositsky and mayor John Scholtens, the ball moves into the courts. WALTER J. PEARCE Inco^: Master- -RRIF...

The. charges were laid by Gordon Wilson, in July after de Jong took active debate on Bill 55 entitled Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act (no.3). The bill was a clean-up bill and contained many items of. small business to be completed before tlie house adjourned for tlie summer. Included in the discussion were amendments to the Legal Services Society Act, tlie governing document for the Legal Services Society, of whicli de Jong is a member. One part of the amendment was to change die way tlie board of directors for tlie society are appointed, and to set up a mixed model for the delivery of legal services. The other part was to impose a limit on expenditures, such that die society's expenditures do not exceed their revenue within a fiscal year. That means Uiat it is possible that lawyers working for the LSS could be paid less for their services in die future.- Wilson alleged that contravention of the Conflict of Interest Act occurred by de Jong taking part in the debate and voting on amendments to die Legal Services Act, because it would directly affect Uie remuneration of private lawyers who engage in legal aid work paid for by the LSS. De Jong has admitted that he did do some work for the LSS, and that he has been paid. He also said-in an earlier interview diat he does not have a pecuniary interest in this debate, which is in an integral part of being in a conflict of interest position. In his statement that de Jong is not in conflict Hughes said that die amendments to die Act "do not have die effect attributed to diem by the complainant (Wilson)...The debate the members were having wasn't about Uiis bill; it was about the unanimous decision of the Legal Services Society to have a mixed model." De Jong said that he is pleased widi die report and Uiat his responsibility as an MLA has been upheld. "It's an important issue that MLAs should have die ability to actively pursue the interests of Uieir constituents," he said. "I am pleased to. be resuming my role as a critic, from which I had earlier stepped aside." p Life is UNPREDICTABLE Thankfully, Ken is not.

The township has wisely decided to settle the controversy over a proposed Aldergrove funeral home and crematorium through a judicial review, and while the results may not be the end of Uie matter, it's time for the wild rumours and accusations in the community to end. There are some truly silly stories circulating, and some of diem were heard, and even voiced by, councilors at Monday's special meeting. An impartial mind cannot find substantiation of any conspiracy theories: die proponents may have downplayed die crematorium aspect but never hid it from anyone; the opponents are not being "bankrolled" by any of die competitors in the funeral home business; township staff did not foist the crematorium on Aldergrove as part of some plot to min the town; overweight people and diose of odier races do not have a "distinctive odour" when cremated, etc. Believe it or not, these weird allegations have all surfaced, and none have any basis in fact. What we have, simply put, is a unique situation diat caught our elected officials and dieir staff by surprise, and unfortunately, diey have made a bad situation into a worse mess. At this point the only alternative left, and the one council chose on Monday, is to put the matter to die.B.C. Supreme Court for a speedy review of die question: Is a crematorium a permitted accessory use in a -C-3 zoned area? The answer is going to cost the township and its taxpayers some money, and diere may be further civil costs, but as coun. Trudi Canipen said when she brought the matter back for consideration yet again, justice must not only be done, it must be perceived as being done. It's quite understandable djat township staff showed the crematorium proponents properties in the area that staff believed were appropriate for such a use; diat's one of die tasks diey're paid to perform. Township staff believed diey were doing the right and proper diing and Uiat the use was permitted in C-3 zones, and after all, not everyone has the same perception of a crematorium. Coun. Steve Burton attended a school adjacent to a crematorium andmever had a problem with it, but when The Star asked him on Monday if beg/believed the public response would have been any different if it had been Brookswood, Willowbrook or Walnut Grove instead of Aldergrove, he said diat in all honesty and in retrospect, the answer was, "No." If Uiere has been an error of judgment or omission in this crematorium controversy, die courts will decide so, and while this may lie cosdy, at least diere will be justice served and Uie zoning bylaws can lie properly amended to protect us from future similar problems. And if die courts decide there has been no impropriety, the issue can be put to rest and the proponents and opponents can carry on with their lives in a friendly and neighbourly fashion. We should follow the example of Don Ramsay, who has led the fight against the crematorium with a well-reasoned and well-spoken campaign diat has won respect from all sides. Ramsay has never stooped to paranoid conspiracy theories or wild, emotionally-charged accusations, and he has promised to abide by the court's decision. Let's all do Uie same, please. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Nonproductive business Editor, The Star, Sir, Imagine, if you will, die following scenario: A man walks into a fast-food restaurant to order a hamburger. He is greeted by an enormous number of staff behind die counter, numbering perhaps 70 or 80 including the 25 managers. The restaurant is charging $15 50 for a hamburger because they have been losing money, that is Uieir expenditures are greater dian their income. They are still losing money, however, because among other things die interest on their bank loan is growing faster dian dieir business. After much agonizing and consultation diey have come to the following conclusion: diey eidier have to increase dieir prices yet again, or dramatically reduce die- size of dieir hamburgers. Why is it Uiat in diese days of increased productivity, rationalization, computerization, and so on,, die taxpayer is continually being asked to choose between a reduction of services and further increased taxes, and getting bodi? It is time for governments to relocate to die real world. They can no longer afford their bloated, unproductive bureaucracies, and until one out of every tliree civil servants is sacked, Canada's financial house will never be in order. DAVID BUTLER, London Better miserly than poor Editor, Tlie Star, Sir, Tlie federal government's discovery of die dangers of indebtedness means it is learning die hard way a precept stated about 480 years ago by die faUier of modern political analysis. Instead of musing on how government ought ideally to work, diis Renaissance thinker, in light of extensive real world experience, analyzed just how diings do work. Thus his remarks on generosity in government: "... if a ruler wants to keep up a reputation for being generous, he must spend lavishly and ostentatiously. The inevitable outcome ... is that die ruler will consume all his resources ... he will eventually be impelled to become rapacious, to tax the people very heavily, and raise money by all possible means. Thus he will begin to be hated by his subjects and, be cause he is impoverished, he will be held in litde regard. When he realizes diis and changes his ways, he will very soon acquire a bad reputation of being miserly." If, on die odier hand, a ruler begins by not worrying about being diought generous, "eventually he will come to be considered more generous when it is realized that, because of his parsimony, his revenues are sufficient ... widiout imposing special taxes on die people. Thus he will be acting generously toward die vast majority whose property he does not touch, and will be acting meanly toward die few to whom he gives nodiing." The name of this diinker? Niccolo Machiavelli. The lesson? A government Uiat does not adopt Machiavellian tactics soon finds such tactics dirust upon it. MICHAEL JOHNSON, Toronto Truly a decision by bureaucracy Editor, The Star, Sir, For a number of years, the Fraser VaUey Chief and Petty Officers' Association has participated in weekly bingos. The monies raised from diese bingos was earmarked for charitable purposes: Navy League of Aldergrove (Navy League of Canada, Central Fraser valley); RCSCC Columbia; and Jackman Manor. As of die end of October, those organizations will no longer receive funds from the FVC&POA. The decision not to continue funding these worthwhile organizations was not arrived at lightly. At bodi executive meetings and general meetings, members of the FVC&POA agonized over a recent fiat from die British Columbia Gaming Commission. The B.C. government dirough the Gaming Commission, instructed die navy veterans that a newly implemented government ?olicy established a maximum of 1,000 of gaming revenue Uiat community service clubs may donate to charitable organizations. Tlie fiat also noted that, "As community service clubs are not permitted to donate gaming revenue to odier community service clubs, future donations cannot be approved." To that point, the Chief and Petty Officers' Association had donated in excess of $6,000 to deserving organizations. Now, that has come to an abrupt end, dianks to an ap- parendy uncaring, ill-advised, and overly-bureaucratized government in Victoria. BOB ORRICK, CD. Time to find solution Editor, The Star, Sir, A petidon attracts 23,000 signatures. Tliree thousand people attend a public rally. Grieving parents speak out in Ottawa. The issue? Increasing concern about crime. It's a problem that has gripped die Lower Mainland this year, one Uiat demands.a solution. In fact, one of the most effective crime fighting programs has been at work in our community for almost ten years. I'm writing to urge you to support Crime Stoppers' efforts to make our streets safe. Crime Stoppers solves crimes through anonymous tips from the public. Through a unique partnership with media, law enforcement agencies ancl the community, Crime Stoppers has solved more than 6,000 crimes, made more dian 2,700 an'ests, recovered more Uian $27.1-million in drugs ancl recovered nearly $10-million in stolen property. But you may not realize that Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization funded entirely by private donations. The reward money that is so vital to our suc- . cess comes from contribution from companies like yours and individuals, not government or the police. And the need for money is growing. Your contribution will help Crime Stoppers solve more crimes. And you'll help us respond to specific problems, such as youth violence. We are currently working with Lower Mainland school boards to bring our successful program to high schools. With your support, we will develop a program that provides students widi a safe environment. We hope you will see your resources as a business leader to help Crime Stoppers continue its vital work. Please donate today. Think of it as an investment in safer communities. Without the support of organizations like yours, Crime Stoppers would stop functioning. And that would be a crime. NORMA BARLOW President, CrimeStoppers, P.O. Box 8686, Vancouver, B.C. V6B 4E2 . Even silicon can be silly LONDON - It had to happen. A one-time soomedian who now studies artificial intelligence has developed a computer Uiat tells jokes. They are simply terrible - the sort of jokes that could endanger a comedian's life if told on stage. One of die better ones runs like this: What do you get when you cross a sad emotion with a stag? A broken hart. One of the worst: What kind of device has wings? An aeroplane hangar. And one of die computer's first efforts could not be classed as a joke at all: what do you get when you cross a person widi a diing? A person thing. "That was a bit of a mistake," said Kim Binstead of Edinburgh University, who developed the computer program, Jape 1, widi her research supervisor, Graham Ritchie. "There was somediing wrong widi die program." But even when fixed, die computer won few laughs among 20 adults selected as guinea pigs. Two hundred of its jokes were rated on a scale from nought to five, and. die average score was a mere 1.8. Binstead, a fomier comedian who has just completed the first year of postgraduate studies, was not disheartened. "That was about what we expected. Part of die problem was that we tried diem on adults. I'm sure if we'd tried diem on kids diey'd have been rated musch higher. "And I suspect if we'd mixed diem up widi jokes of die same type from some joke books, those written by humans would have fared equally badly." Binstead said the most heartening result was to find diat some of the judges claimed to have heard Jape's jokes before, particularly its "cereal killer" range. These, answered widi a "serial killer" pun included: What do you call a murderer Uiat has fibre? And: What do you call breakfast food that murders people? The jokes were created by supplying die computer with a lexicon of words and meanings and a set of niles about how to make diem into somediing (allegedly) funny. Hard times put women in fire TOKYO - Japan's worst recession since die Second World War has rubbed out all traces of sexual correctness. Women being interviewed for jobs are being asked if they are virgins or have boyfriends and are being told they would stand a better chance of employment if they wore miniskirts. Uncowed by feminist ideas and unrestrained even by common courtesy, employers are subjecting applicants to the sort of harassment which would have them hauled before the courts in Britain or North America. Complaints to the labor ministry include job interviewers who said: "We would hire you if your skirt was shorter than that." "Are you a virgin? (I'm bored asking die same old questions)." "Please show me the side of your face, you have a lot of make-up on." "We want women who have beautiful legs." Under toothless sexual-equality laws passed in 1986, all of this is not illegal. The labor ministry usually follows up complaints .only by telling companies such rudeness offends die spirit of the law.

Bruins continued their tiering round with game #5, a home game against Surrey, Oct. 27. Aldergrove, as always, came out fired up, but started to lose momentum late in the period. Surrey took advantage of this, scoring at 5:01 and 4:34 to take a 2-0 lead. The Bruins passed to Jordan Stangle in die attacking zone. Jordan fired his puck to the boards where Todd Hagen grabbed it, out-muscled two Surrey defenders on die boards, dipped behind the net dien came out in front and fired it dirough the goalie's 5-hole. The score after one, 2-1 Suney. The second period was more wide open with most scoring chances on both sides coming on rushes. Aldergrove tied it up when a centered puck was grabbed by Jamie McKay who blasted a shot at die Surrey netminder. Somehow, dirough all the confusion, the puck came to Rich Pearce at die side of the net. The goalie dived over but Rich calmly flipped it over him, securing the goal. Surrey then capitalized on a powerplay goal at 3:36 despite Aldergrove's efficient penalty killing, but exacdy one minute later the Hewitt and Co. Bniins tied it. Parker MacDonald grabbed die puck in his own end going end to end, deking out one defender and splitting the defence deep in their- own zone before snapping a shot that picked die corner after blowing by the goalie. Score after two, Surrey 3, Aldergrove 3- Tlie only goal in the shortened third period belonged to the visitors, coming at 2:57 despite the excellent goaltending of Will Parley. So though die Bniins outplayed Surrey they still came out with a 4-3 loss. Fast-forward now to tiering game #6, an away game for the Aldergrovians, taking place on Oct. 30 in Abbotsford. Aldergrove took to the ice wearing their new teams socks, against a decidedly bigger and stronger home team. Scott Mathieson got die call in net, where he shone all night. The visitors scored first, surprising die Abbotsford squad. Jamie McKay grabbed the puck down in his own end, then nrshed up die right boards - out- racing the defenseman. He flipped a pass at the red line to Rich Pearce, who deked around the last defender dien blasted a shot over the goalie's right shoulder for a 1-0 lead, coming at 13:36. Abbotsford turned the ganie into a real contest of David and Goliath as they scored two more times, at 11:39 and 8:30 to take a 2-1 lead heading into the second. Fortunately, it seemed David could use hockey puck as well as stones, as die smaller Hewitt and Co. Bruins tied the game at 14:41 in the second. Todd Hagen shoveled a pass off die boards to Greg Neufeld who weaved around the defence before giving a high shot over die goalie's right shoulder, to make die score 2-2. The smaller Aldergrove team then took die lead as Rich Pearce grabbed a loose puck in his own end, motored down the boards and just over die blue line then blasted a shot, not over die right shoulder, but by the stickhand side, giving Rich his second goal of the game, and giving the visitors a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately, Abbotsford tied the game less dian a minute later, at 9:15, making die score 3-3 which is how die evenly played period ended. In die 12:00 third period it was evident diat tlie bigger Abbotsford team was trying to wear the Aldergrove team down with Uieir" size and strength, but the Bruins fought back with what they always do against all bigger teams: hardwork. Abbotsford's strategy seemed to win at 6:28 when they took a 4-3 lead. However the visitors tied it at 2:34 when Greg Hoffman pounced on a loose puck and danced around the last defenceman for a break and Greg glided in waiting for the goalie to make die first move, which he did, falling to the ice. Greg dien flipped the puck over his leg, tieing the game at 4-4. Then, incredibly, the Bruins took the lead when Scott Cleeve flipped the puck behind die opposing net to Keith Howson- Jones who attempted a wraparound diat was blocked, then jammed in by Parker MacDonald at 1:06 to give die newly-socked Aldergrovians a 5- 4 lead. The last minute was a mad scramble as die home team tried to tie die score, but to no avail. The Bruins hung on to win tiering game #6, 5-4. The Aldergrove Atom B Hewitt and Co.

Burnaby, a big team, came out skating and jumped to an early two goal lead in die first period. In die second period, Burnaby started using their size and the game turned into a very tough, physical contest. An early" goal in the second saw Gerry Tucker being replaced by John Enns in the net Bumaby continued to push hard and scored on the first shift on a two- on-orie break. After diis one goal, John closed die door, making many outstanding saves throughout die remainder of the game. Two defencemen left the game widi penalties and injuries and one defenceman was playing injured and that necessitated dropping two forwards back on the blueline.- Offensively, we had several good scoring opportunities but were unable to finish die shot. Burnaby's shut-out remained intact and die game ended 5-0. On Sat., Oct. 29 we took our first road trip to Seattle. The change of scenery or perhaps the on-the-road movie brought the boys out fired up and ready to play. We scored first with a give and go between Brent Adams and Ryan Zuber with Ryan getting die goal. It was dien Mike Shipley and Ryan McAdams demonstrating die two-on-one rush with Mike putting it away for two more goals. Ryan Zuber went on to score diree more goals assisted by Brent Adams, Kyle. Grant, and Wes Schwarz. The remaining goals were by Delayne Dupuis assisted by Justin Billinghurst and Kyle Grant, Ryan McAdams assisted by Darren Caldwell and Mike Shipley, and Brent Adams assisted by Shannon Kobliuk. The final score was 9-2 . for' Aldergrove. Gerry Tucker played a very strong game in the net and came up widi a couple of spectacular saves at key times in tJS<_|game.

More importandy, the UCFV women put together their first solid effort in diree weeks, returning to their aggressive style of defence and direct approach to offence. "We marked tight which allowed us to cut off fifty- fifty balls," said women's coach Tom Fast, "and we were also able to move die ball quickly which gave us ■ room to set up our attack."

WHERE ARE YOUI KiE HEED YOU AT THE ALDER6R0VE MALL Gold Keys trample Marlins ALDERGROVE - Playing away to die Marlins B team at Frank Hurt Park on Sunday, Gold Key United ran over the Marlins B tearii winning 4-0. Gold Key with only 10 available players, were fortunate in the fact that tlie Central Fraser Villey Girls LI-19 team had a bye in their schedule. This enabled G_old Key to bring up on permit tliree players from diat team. They were Erica Steinback, Shelley Gimbel, and Mary Ann Castro. Inserted into the line-up to start the game, the tliree players had an immediate impact. They added vigor to. the team which soon brought results. Just 7 minutes into the game on a neat pass-back from Shelley Gimbel, Erica Steinback coming up from her left defence spot took full measure on a half volley to score just inside the left post, giving the goalie no chance. In quick succession Mary Ann Castro, who was being put in the open frequently by a hard working supporting cast, finished well to score goal number 2 at 14 minutes, and again with goal number diree at die 16 minute mark. Twenty-five minutes into the game and Nancy Deacon hit a ball sweet, to give the goalie no chance on a cannon from outside of die box. Score at halftime 4-0. The second half was used by coach John Deacon to see what some of his players could do in positions diey are not used to playing in. Aldiough Gold Key did not score in tlie second half, they continued to play well and had many opportunities to further the score. Asked to comment on die game coach John Deacon said "We were fortunate to have the LI- 19 metro players today. They had an immediate impact; they added spark to the whole team." He fur- dier said "Their coach Jeff Dickson has them playing sound, fundamental, basic soccer. I am sure he has several more players that we will be looking at for next season.

'f- :jjgm don't feed the Bears THE ALDERGROVE STAR, NOVEMBER 2,1994 ALDERGROVE - The Allied Windows Pee Wee A Bruins were hungry for goals and not willing to share the picnic with Grandview Thursday night at the Aldergrove Arena. Grandview was totally outplayed with the Bruins in their face at every turn. With Aldergrove intercepting their passtes or stealing the puck right off their sticks, Grandview found themselves feeding the Bruins throughout the game. Aldergrove picked up three goals in the first period and Grandview, unable skate with us, opted to play a chippy style of game - resulting in penalties. They found themselves down another four goals in tlie second period and five in tlie third. The feast ended 12-0 for die Bruin's, with Grandview only able to muster 4 shots on goalie Shane Marchant against the Bruins 46. Aldergrove goals: hat trick for Paul Daley; two goals, two assists for Josh MacKnee; two goals, one assist each for Ben Henthorne and Mike. Roberts; Scott Robinson, a goal and tliree assists; a .goal and 4wo assists for Chris Colonval; Mike Haber with one goal; Martin Nicola, two assists-, and an assist each for Dustin Goodman, Tyler Perkins, Matt Roberts and Aubrey Smith. * Grandview was definitely one of the weaker teams we have met in the tiering rounds - not the type of team you want to play against when trying to' build your own into a stronger team, says coach Don Schulz. This became brutally apparent Saturday as the Bruins had to settle for a 3-3 tie against the Mission Stars after twice coming out winners (5-2 and 8-4) in .is^Stbition play last month. After 'CQ&p-ng up against a succession of weak teams over tlie past few weeks, Aldergrove did not go into this game with the mental focus they should have had. ' Aldergrove was first on the board, then picked up a second goal on a power play. An Alder grove pssnalty seconds later gave Mission the.?__hance to slip one by Bruins goalie Davis Parley and the first period ended 2-1 for- Aldergrove. Aldergrove increased .their lead midway through the second period with another power play goal then seemed to fall apart for the remainder of the period and Mission brought themselves back to within one. The Bruins lack of focus resulted in poor passing and shooting decisions. A sudden push by the Stars at the end of the period kept Davis busy and the buzzer sounded none too soon. The third period saw some improvement but although Aldergrove outplayed the Stars they were unable to get one past the Mission goalie. Mission was able to pull off the tying goal and the game would end 3-3- The Mission goalie played an outstanding game as overall his team was out shot by the Bruins 35-18. Perhaps we helped make him look good. Not capitalizing on our chances, more often than not we used him as a target rather than an obstacle. Scoring for Aldergrove: Chris Colonval assisted by Scott Robin-' son; Ben Henthorne assists to Aubrey Smith and Mike Haber; and Paul Daley with Matt Roberts assisting.

The third period saw bodi teams playing hard but Aldergrove seemed to take control of die game a bit more dian before and soon Danny Thomson beat the Colts goalie over her blocker shoulder. Scott Sharp got the assist on diis goal. A couple of minutes later Matdiew Keidi scored on a rebound from a Shaun Sieffert shot. The score was now 4 to 3 for Cloverdale and you could see die Bruins were coming on and really putting the pressure on die Colts. I couldn't help but notice how much more subdued the fans for Cloverdale were widi this come from behind type of play diat Aldergrove was showing. Widi only a minute left in die play Clint Pahlke was pulled from die Aldergrove net to give die Bniins the extra attacker. Things went fast and furiously for a short time, but a win was not for die Bruins tonight. Cloverdale scored a empty net goal to make the final score 5 to 3. As always diis was another exciting game and it is very nice to see mat die Western Line Painting Bhiins never gave up. Way to play team! Tlie team would like to diank all die people who helped make die Hallowe'en dance a successful and fun night. There were a . lot of prizes, food, and good entertainment (mainly put on by people dressed in costumes)! Thanks for a good time. AND BLUE BOMBERS. TOO Girl Flyers go up against Ballistics By ED BIEKER ALDERGROVE - On Oct. 16 the Aldergrove Flyers U-16 girls soccer team travelled to Burnaby to play the Ballistic. Burnaby's goals against record of only 3 in 3 games indicated either strong defense or solid goaltending. Aggressive goaltending turned out to be die key to dieir success. The Burnaby keeper shortened Aldergrove's field by patrolling the 18-yard box and giving our forwards litde space to play. The Flyers' answer to diis problem was ball control at midfield and shots over the goaltender's reach. In die 25 minute of play Allison Bieker found die net with a long hard shot under die crossbar. Not only did this give die visiting squad a 1-0 lead, it also backed die goaltender to her goal line. This ball control at midfield by Aldergrove proved to • be Burnaby's Achilles tendon for die day. It allowed die strong Aldergrove. defense to push up and win loose balls diroughout die game. The Flyers' midfield are Melissa Bums, Gina Bertoncini, Tina Carey, Allison Bieker, Michelle Wurz, Raj and Angie Mallhi. Aldergrove's second goal of die game came from Angie Mallhi who finished off some great ball control by Tina Carey. Tlie last goal of die game came from some hard work in die right corner by Gina Bertoncini widi the finishing touch by Lisa Kehler. Aldergrove 3, Burnaby 0. Sunday, Oct. 23, had the North Shore Renegades coming to play at Soudi Aldergrove Park. This team had not won a game this year and die Flyere were not about to let diem win diis day. Aldergrove's team play completely dominated die entire game despite fine play by some North Shore individuals. Scoring for the Flyers were Tina Carey and Raj Mallhi widi. two apiece, Lisa Stagg and Allison Bieker with singles. The day before Hallowe'en die Flyers hosted anodier North Shore team. The Blue Bombers were tied with Aldergrove for second place. A win for either team would put diem in second all alone. The Flyers opened with a flurry of shots in die first five minutes before Val \brk scored in a scramble in front of Nortli Shore's net. The next 40 minutes of die half were evenly played widi die Blue Bombers scoring near die half mark. Although die Blue Bombers were out chanced 2 to 1 in die final 45 minutes, they were ahead 3 to 1 at the 75 minute mark. Tlie Flyers scored to make it 3-2 widi Tina Carey sending Angie Mallhi in alone on a perfect pass. Aldergrove pressed hard for die final 15 minutes but could not find the equalizer.

This science fiction film is based on a story by Robert A Heinlein, and I conclude that eidier die producers have not done it justice or they picked a real stinker to invest dieir money in. The story diat I watched, directed by Stuart Orme, was a serious disappointment. The movie opens widi tliree boys playing on a farm in Ambrose, Iowa, when suddenly there's an odd noise and a flash of light in the sky. The boys look at each odier, all curious and smiling, and one says "Let's go." We see their feet sloshing in puddles as intense music plays. If there was a special meaning diere I didn't catch it. Next scene, die same tliree boys lead a man out into die woods to show him where tlie thing from the sky has landed. The boys introduce his head to a shovel. Now we get to the main characters. It seems die government got a fuzzy picture of a tiny blob in Iowa and has dispatched Mary, a doctor from NASA (Julie Warner) to help an important looking man with a cane, Andrew Nivens (Donald Sudierland), figure, out what's going on. This doctor, who's specialty is describing possible alien life forms, decides there is definitely somediing odd in Iowa because none of the men have tried to look down her blouse. Good ol' science. The cast is great, there is Donald Sutherland, Julie Warner (remember her from Michael J. Fox's Doc Hollywood?), Eric Thai and Richard Belzer (from the sometimes TV series Homicide: Life on the Street). As we all know, a great cast guarantees nothing. The Puppet Masters is proof enough. Try as they might, what could anyone do with diis script. Near the very beginning the "scientists" discover that an increasing number of people in Ambrose, Iowa are being "taken over" by really attractive slug-like tilings. They stick to a person's back and burrow their way into die brain of dieir host via the spinal column. All die memories, dioughts and dreams of the host are then forever known to the alien slug. This movie was strict formula, and feeble at diat. It gave us plenty of disgusting green gooey "life forms," and chased a bit of romantic melodrama as a stab at a sub-plot. It allowed for too many implausibilities, too many gaps and room for questions. The oft-communicated complaint works here as well; How come die characters are smart one moment and completely stupid the next? How come some plot against the president materializes and then fades away as quickly? Did the screenwriter pick and choose Some of Heinlein's chapters or what? We leam that die alien came to earth because humans are better dian die regular brand of host and diat's about it.. Beyond diat nothing is ever really explained. Perhaps science fiction writing has become akin to poetic licence. The acting was really notewor- diy. Against the odds, die actors almost made me care about their characters especially Julie Warner and Eric Thai (Sam Nivens), but paraphrasing my grandma, who fell asleep during the show, "It really wasn't the kind of movie that would keep you awake, was if?" It earns a "D" because, even though the acting was compelling, it wasn't enough to save die day. As for another Sci-Fi flick, Hollywood has forgotten how to make a really effective science fiction film. A skeleton of a story combined with rehashed special effects and a few big names is an insult, not entertainment. I do not recommend Stargate. Roland Emmerich directed and co-wrote diis haphazard production. I am convinced diat he must have had a weird dream and decided to write it down. The trouble was diat he. couldn't remember the whole diing. That's what he gives us, a partially remembered super story. There's a really inspiring beginning, it's 1928 in Giza Egypt and there has just been an amazing discovery, but what is it? Now it's present day, Daniel Jackson (James Spader), an Egyptologist, is running around with eccentric dieories about die pyramids that no one is ihterested in... except one woman named Catherine. The next tiling the audience knows is diat Jackson's brilliance has uncovered a mystery that rooms of government bigwigs couldn't clue into. Jackson has provided the information to open die Stargate and Colonel Jack O'Neil (Kurt Russell) is ready to find out what's on the other side: After lots of special effects we are transported to a parallel universe where there are sand dunes and where semi-futuristic Egyptianlike folks dwell. Neat. There is an array of expected culture-based jokes (small giggle) and your usual movieland troubles that the heroes must overcome to get back to earth. At this point I notice diat my bum is going numb. I try to get comfortable for a few minutes, dien resume watching. Just like a soap opera, I haven't missed anything. I was greatly disappointed witii die characters; diey were vague and ineffective. Jaye Davidson (Oscar nominee for his work as- Dil in The Crying Game) wasn't much better. As a villain type he w-as successfully unconvincing. As for Kurt Russell my only comment is...He was paid seven million dollars?!? Stargate earns a serious "D7" for an entertainment value of zero and a a script that forgot to try.

By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - In every local paper we read of the concerns of die senior citizens who are becoming more and more aware of the government's plan to cut pensions, abolish Medicare and make life much more difficult for the older generation. They have no intentions of taking diis treatment lying down. They say diey built this country and diey intend to uphold dieir rights. Every group is planning marches, petitions, large gadierings where speakers will voice their opinions. At a regional meeting I attended this week people all dirough the audience were coming to die front to speak in the microphone. This is quite the opposite to die usual placid meetings of the Fraser Valley Regional. Don't underestimate die strength of Grey Power. They mean business. The General Meeting of die OAPO will be held Friday, Nov. 4 at 1:30 in die hall on 273 St. If you are concerned over the reports of government cutbacks diis is a good time to join the OAP and see what is being planned through our organization. Dick Lockhart has asked me to invite all those interested in shuf- fleboard (floor shuffleboard) to come on Sunday 2 p.m. to die OAP hall. He would like as many as possible to come and enjoy this new facility that has been put into die hall. Last week's Whist Party was a success, I would diink. Ten tables were filled and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I didn't realize what psychic powers I had when I predicted ten tables. Now I am prophesying eleven or even twelve tables in November. The Cliristmas dinner tickets are available and can be picked up at die next meeting. My trusty Bridge reporter tells me the first prize at diis week's bridge party was won by Bruna Olszewski with a score of 6410. Second went to Renie Rowley widi 5810 and third to John McDougall with 5670. Muriel Arnason came in fourth with 5450. The draw was won by Edith Crispin. When I was getting the dance report from Opal she told me of a visit she had with Elsie Wild at the Regency Home. Elsie is looking well and has gained ten pounds. She wishes to be remembered to all her friends. Typical of how Elsie always helped so willingly around die OAP she is helping folding serviettes and doing jobs around the home. About 45 attended the Wednesday dance. 50-50 was won by Selina Davis, Al Lane and Opal Thomas. The spot dance went to Mabel Parker and Al Duniont. Saturday night dance was very gOod, a good friendly enthusiastic crowd. The Ramblers provided great music for a crowd of seventy-two. Door prize went to Tlielma Dyson, and I. didn't get the name of the other winner of Mary's bouquet. 50-50 was won by Shirley Barlow, Mary Sanderson and Opal Thomas. Next time you find a penny, Opal, you may win die 649 if you put it in die same shoe. Spot dances were won by Edna Moffat and Ed Sanders and Helen Dion and Bill Kozlowski. Birthdays of Lorraine Verboom and Stan Hay were celebrated. A couple of first time visitors to the dance were Thelma Dyson and Bruce Smith. This coming week die Happy Gang will play for the dances. Carpet bowling had a good crowd Thursday, but diere's always room for more. Happy hallowe'en, hope everyone has a safe one. Isn't diis true "He who laughs, lasts."

Transition house proudly throws open new doors By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Libra Transition House coordinator Diana Sacks says that she is very proud of dieir new permanent location in Aldergrove. It has been completely renovated and is very spacious, with a large playroom and a huge fenced-in yard for safety and security. "We are very fortunate to have diis house," she says. "Some of the odier houses are small and cramped. Here everybody has some privacy, which reduces stress, not only for die women but for the workers as well." The mandate of the house is to take abused women and, in a neutral, safe environment help diem to get help from trained professionals. Many women don't want to involve the families in dieir disputes for various reasons, such as a- possible retaliation against die family and die fact diat die abuser can easily find the woman, if she went to friends or family. Also, the family may try to help the woman, but diey often don't know how to get help or what to do. Most women are thankful diat Libra House exists. It is a great starting place for diem to move forward. "It's very wonderful and exciting to see die growth and changes in the women diat happens in just die short time diat diey are here," says Sacks. The women stay up to 30 days. "Services provid.ed for the women include' not only a safe place to stay, but empowerment and die ability to make choices and to know that they can make diem. Women in abusive situations are usually isolated, not informed, and not allowed to make many decisions for themselves. "We inform and educate them that diere are choices to be made and diat diey can make diem," Sacks continues. "It opens a whole new world for diem that they might not have known existed." Other services include counselling for women and their children. A home bound teacher comes in to work with the children. - Women also get support and help in dealing widi the legal system, whicli can be a very frightening experience for diose who are facing it for die first time. On Tuesday evenings a discus- siotJi^sri^R -&•<$& iqc^aft^V&r. various topics such as self-esteem, assertiveness, how abuse affects people, or anydiing diat the women want to talk about as a group. Very often children at the house will have various acting out behaviours. "Often they can't act out at home," says Sacks. "Everything has to be quiet and orderly. This is a safe place for children to act out. Tlie child care workers try to work dirough any problems widi the children and their moms, as well as give references to outside agencies for more help." Also involved is the education of women as to what violence does to a family unit, because abuse is learned and familiar. Children who witness abuse often take on one of two roles. A boy will very often grow up and take on die role of abuser, and a girl may grow up and attract abusive men. Sacks says that the workers in die house are a great team. Everyone brings dieir own skills and experiences to dieir job, and everyone works well, bodi individually, and as a team. The house, which can hold up to 10 women and children at a time, is run communally by the residents. Chores such as meal planning, cleaning or anything else diat needs doing in a house, are shared by everyone. Sacks says that it is impossible to'keep statistics on how many women have come to the transition house, but says.it is many, and some come more than once. She says diat about half of die women that come to the house return to dieir partners, and statistics show diat some women leave dieir partners up to six times before leaving for good. "We let diem know diat if they decide to go back tO their partners, it is dieir choice, but also diat diey are welcome to come back if. they need to." says Sacks. "We have problems here. For example die heater breaks down or a child gets sick, but every home is like diat. We have crises and tears here every day, but it is NOT a place of unhappiness. There is a lot of joy and laughter here too." Tlie house, funded by die Ministry of Women's Equality and community donations, operates as a non-profit society. If you would like more information or to make a donation please contact 857-5797 or 857-0091. Frankie comes to Surrey SURREY - Are you ready for family fun, songs,'dancing, and lots of laughs?

"The local donors, who include businesses, parents groups, service clubs, the Langley Teachers Association, private donors, CUPE locals, political and work associations, memorial awards, and trusts set up by individuals, clubs and families, are lo be commended for their contributions over the past 38 years. Many groups 1iave increased (he amounts that they donated this year because they realize the greatly-increased costs of attending post secondary institutions. Without the support of all these groups, many of our students would not be able to continue with their education," said Pepin.

District Scholarships $1000, Money provided by government' Reading recovery program aimed at "risk" individuals By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Tlie school board will be introducing a new accelerated method of teaching children at risk of not learning to read, how to read. Reading Recovery is a very individualistic program that will enable troubled learners, at die grade one level, to bring their reading skills up to par with their peers. Tlie program consists of a daily 30 minute lesson for 12 to 20 weeks. If after 20 weeks the child still has problems then diey are referred to other departments because dieir problem is most likely more than just slow learning. The first part of die lesson is writing. Students have to practice the actual skills of writing. The second is re-reading familiar material. It builds up self confidence, diat tlie child can read, and reinforces die idea reading is not difficult. A running record is kept of each student. Everything done during the lesson is carefully watched and analysed by the teacher, so that Uie information can be used in the next-lesson. It is a very individualistic program, specifically designed to each student, based on the behaviour diat they show during die lessons. Writing a story is next. Tlie child will have a journal diat she will write in every, day, creating a story from her own experiences. The next step is a cut up story, where the learner can practice sequencing and hearing sounds in words. The final step is that the stu-v dent attempts to read a different book diat they have not tried to read before. Parents fit into die program in that Uie cut up story and Uie books go home, so the student cah practice at home with parental encouragement. ' The school board Has divided die implementation of the program into five-phases. Phase I, research and development is complete. Phase two of die program, where it is at now, is to have Uie staff properly trained in Uiis type of education. Five Langley teachers are cur- rentiy getting training in Ferndale, Washington. One teacher will go to Auckland, New Zealand next year to receive teacher leader/trainer skills. Observation sites will be set up in schools for teacher's development, and all data collected will be analysed. The odier phases of Uie implementation deal witii collecting, recording, and interpreting tlie data to determine if tlie program is working in Uiis district. It has been shown by other communities Uiat have used Uiis program, Uiat by helping troubled readers achieve reading levels equal to those of Uieir peers at Uie grade one level, it is cheaper and easier dian trying to catch Uiem up later, when Uiey have developed bad learning habits and Uie unwillingness to learn to read, because they tiiink Uiey can't. The program, developed in New Zealand, is being used throughout Uie world and has shown tremendous results in helping troubled learners learn tpy read. - for outstanding achievement in nonacademic areas) Mark Messmer, Corilyn Brown, Shawna Grant, Cliristina Neiman Knyff, Angie Carev.

He also says diat mountains does not inspire him, he will leave diem for all odier artists, to him they are just a pile of rocks, whereas trees, streams and rivers speaks to him, maybe because of his prairie background. Derelict boats, mountain rivers, streams and trees is what turns diis artist on. Ross Fielding was born in Manitoba, schooled in Saskatchewan, lived in Alberta but finally in his retirement years, he made it to British Columbia, and he turned what had so far been a hobby into a profession. Since that he has developed his own style and prefer to work in black and white and all the shades in between. His pieces have since found dieir way into private collections in Alberta, Texas, Britain, the, Salmon Islands and B.C. Some have called him die 'backwards artist' because all pen work must be done widi the front object first and the background drawn in afterwards, Fielding style is die opposite. He objects when people calls his work 'sketches', and he explains: "A sketch is the preliminary strokes on paper used to develop an idea, a pen drawing is die Fielding will be exhibited at Laurel's Place this Sunday, November 6, from 1-5 pm. and with him will be displayed a collection' of hand carved Brazilian soapstone by Roland Dewilde of Chilliwack.

Union wants mediation in home support row BURNABY - On Monday, the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union applied to the Labour Relations Board for a mediator to help settle die contract dispute between home support workers and the Health Employers' Association of B.C. Negotiations resumed last Thursday after the union put forward a revised proposal. Talks continued through Saturday, but broke off when the employer representatives said they were "Many issues have been resolved," said Shields. "The government has clearly given HEABC a mandate diat conies very close on wages. However, die employers are. demanding concessions in odier areas. Their intransigence is the only thing blocking a setdement." The BCGEU has been slowly expanding strike action since picket lines first went up at tliree home support agencies in Victoria August 20. About 1,300 Seniors now on busy schedule By ERNIE CLUETT ALDERGROVE - The October general meeting of die Seniors Network was preceded by a pot luck lunch. Over fifty members attended. The meeting was held in die Community Centre. This centre lias a main hall, kitchen, craft and art room, meeting room and games room, all of wliich are open to die members. The November meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 28 at 1:30 pm. All members and friends are asked to bring something to contribute to die Food Bank in Aldergrove. As die Christmas season is fast approaching your gift will be much appreciated. The guest speaker, Claire Marcotte spoke on Living widi a Hearing Loss. She is a resident of Aldergrove and will be setting up a group to explain hearing aids, advising on die adjusting, cleaning; also lip reading and other aids to help hearing loss. When time and place are decided, will let you know in this column. The tax saving program chaired by die Mutual Insurance seemed to have generated a lot of interest. It would seem diat die last date for taking advantage of die $100,000 exempdon will be April in 1995- This clause allows you to exempt diis amount from taxes on die estate your heirs will have to pay. Tlie valuation year is 1972-73- Then land was worth perhaps $5,000 an acre, today $150,000 for die same piece. So your tax could be very substantial. \bur government will love you if you don't claim it as they need all your money they can get for travel, pensions, earing out, and all die odier diings diey love so much, and don't forget the union clause diat says the people diat toil in your behalf cannot be laid off but must receive full salary even if they sit on dieir rear ends. So if you owned the property before 1972 you had better get busy. If you bought after you have a value. Also, if you are having to dig into your savings to live, a plan is in place by some insurance companies. \bu buy an annuity to cover die shortfall and as on your deadi your estate loses die annuity die company issues an insurance policy to replace the loss to the estate. So everyone is happy, hopefully. Questions can be an swered by phoning Pat Griffith at 588-5232. The fitness class has been taken over by Cheryl Stelil.

It covers not only political but cultural topics, recalling President Truman and Elvis Presley, the decline of Puritanism and the rise of Playboy, the birth of the nuclear arms race and the witch hunts of the McCarthy era, not to mention the small-town sexual drama of Peyton Place and the sexual politics of The Feminine Mystique. Halberstam's history is a panoramic review capturing the drama of the fifties in a highly readable narrative. Deborah Laake's Secret Ceremonies: A Mormon Woman's Intimate Diary of Marriage and Beyond (Island, $7.99) peeks behind the metaphoric veil shrouding a religion's carefully guarded rites. Growing up, Ms. Laake was so intent on following the strict dictates of Mormonism that she wound up with a husband she couldn't love. Once married, she became increasingly aware of the pressure to conform to the ideals of an intensely patriarchal church that clashed with her burgeoning self-awareness and her quest for spiritual, emotional and sexual satisfaction. Despite her religious upbringing, she was caught off guard by life beyond the mysterious marital ceremonies. Aman: The Story of a Somali Girl is another coming-of-age story that also deals with ceremonies of initiation, especially female circumcision (Knopf, $27.00). Aman neither writes nor reads English, so her tale was initially told to the American anthropologist Virginia Lee Barnes, who recorded and transcribed the sessions. When Barnes died, the existing manuscript was passed on to Janice Boddy, an anthropologist at the University of Toronto. When Boddy and Aman eventually met, more tape recorded sessions followed, and .Boddy shaped the final product, supplying a brief foreword and a 50-page "Afterword" on Somali culture. As Boddy points out, Somalis have a strong history of oral storytelling. The result? An intriguing look at life in Somalia from a woman's perspective. rrshe Misbegotten Son (Island, $6.99) by X Jack Olson is an absorbing true crime story that comes with recommendations from several sources, including a professor of criminology and law, and novelists Stephen King and Jonathan Kellerman. It tells the story of serial killer Arthur J. Shawcross who murdered two children, was given early parole, and went on to slay eleven prostitutes while living in Rochester. Notably, Misbegotten Son gives us the point of view of several of the victims' parents, and extensive quotations from the reports of numerous psychologists and psychiatrists who were baffled and duped by Shawcross. It also relates the difficulties and frustrations of the police as the body count grew and they sought a killer who seldom left a clue. Finally, if the bafflegab you read leaves you stumped, or if you're just plain hung up on words, get The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang: Vol. I, A-G by J.E. Lighter (Random House, 1006 pages, $67.) Lighter has been collecting slang for more than 20 years, and what we have here, according to major authorities on the subject, is the first of a definitive three-volume set covering, among others, the slang of crime, politics, jazz and, of course, sex. To quote the dust-jacket: "In 1650, you could drink booze, but you couldn't get bombed....By the 1950's you could have a bag on from Bloody Marys (and you could finally be bombed). Now, you can get fubar'd on brewskis." Geez! What more can ya say? "im ; Liberal or Reform gov't, a "disaster" says union head VANCOUVER - The B.C. Liberal party's health care policy amounts to a promise to freeze service levels and make it easier for hospital administrators to lay off health workers, says HEU secretary-business manager Carmela Allevato. "Gordon Campbell has not promised more money for hospitals and long-term care facilities," Allevato said Tuesday. "He has not promised greater or better protection for health care workers." She told HEU convention delegates, Campbell has promised he "would scrap the Employment Security Agreement." B.C. Reform MLA Len Fox opposed the agreement from the beginning, Allevato said, and "the Reform party continues to advocate the slash and burn approach to health care reform." In a report on die union's activities during the past two years, Allevato noted the gains HEU had made in organizing and bargaining because of New Democratic party initiatives like the new labour code and the health labour accord.

Liberal opposition is stepping in to help out until die premier calls a byelection, B.C. Liberal leader Gordon Campbell said. Enter fight, urges Reform VICTORIA - BC Reform caucus leader Jack Weisgerber said that the Harcourt government should offer to testify on behalf of the federal government in its bid to' preserve parliament's right to define spousal benefits. Weisgerber warned that the constitutional challenge on spousal benefits for homosexual couples, wliich is being advanced by Jack Nesbit and James Egan in die Supreme Court of Canada, is of vital concern to all legislators in Canada. "This case really speaks to die principle of parliamentary supremacy," Weisgerber said. "If it succeeds, it will not only have enormous cost implications for taxpayers, it will severely compromise die right of elected representatives to legislate in an area that essentially relates to societal values. SINGLES' NEWS We know how to party! By MARTHA SIEMENS ALDERGROVE - And a gre.it time was had by all! The Matsqui Aldergrove Singles first English Tea Dance held Sunday. Oct. 23 at Patricia Hall was one of its kind- the first one, we understand, in die area. The door opened at 1:30 p.m., dancing with die band "Country Crossroads" at 2:30 p.m. Tea was elegantly poured from a dainty English tea pot at 3:30 p.m widi tiny sandwiches and cookies. For the sweet goods we thank our Aldergrove Fraser Valley Bakery and Tim Hortons who so generously donated to help the club ancl of course goodies also "baked" by the Singles members! Four spot dances were awarded. Dale and Roger, crowned King and Queen, received special gifts. Comical highlight of the "Tea" was when the frilly garter and arm bands (made by Kara Balogg) were won. The gent had to put die garter on the lady's leg, she in turn was ordered to wear it for 24 hours. The applause was deafening! Tim's Treasures, a new antique and gifts store starting out in Abbey donated various English teas, all daintily wrapped by Kara. A huge basket of various biscuits was donated by Clearbrook's Save-on-Foods Bob Stack and won by Marian. Lucky gal! Goslings of Abbotsford gave a set of beautiful trays which we will use for our next function. At this time recognition must go out to Kara Balogg, one of our new members, for her tremendous zeal in procuring these gifts and also a whole nights work to make her special sets of fancy sachets. She may be tiny in stature but she's full of dynamite and energy. (P.S. If you need a special wedding garter, she is the one to do it.) The huge buffet at 5:30 was dioroughly enjoyed by all that attended (especially the fresh mashed potatoes, eh boys) Thanks to all of die members who made this meal possible. 7 p.m. brought die dance to a close but seemed no one wanted to leave. The comment "what a wonderful time we had... When will there be another?" Yes, in January 1995! Thanks to Peter J. '^fpr getting the.club a speciaj deal _ _are;. on die hall.

Anyone having a few spare hours to volunteer for the upcoming rummage sales or if you have a truck to haul items, any help would be greatly appreciated. - Other years; the elderly and physically challenged wished to attend the free dinners but had no transportation as diere weren't enough volunteers to help out.

Liberals will deal widi is funding for the new MSA Hospital," said Campbell. Campbell said that members of the B.C. Liberal caucus will represent die interests of Abbotsford while diey are left without an elected MLA. "Matsqui MLA Mike de Jong, along with other members of caucus, will be on duty to assist Abbotsford residents." The byelection in Abbotsford was made necessary with the resignation of Socred MLA Harry De Jong. Premier Harcourt has six months in which to call a byelection. Hydro bonus plan too rich VICTORIA - The B.C. Liberal opposition has released a list of outrageous bonus package awarded to senior B.C. Hydro executives over die past tliree years which have cost taxpayers over one million dollars. B.C. Liberal energy critic Daniel Jarvis releasee! the list of incentives and severance payments to' B.C. Hydro senior executives. "At a time when Hydro is asking British Columbians to pay more for electricity, it's a slap in the face to taxpayers to have to pay fat bonuses to senior Hydro executives," said Jarvis. B.C. Hydro is awaiting word from die B.C. Utilities Commission on a 2.8% rate increase. "When tljejNDP came to power they deliberately broke Harcourt's #1 election promise 'to end secret deals and special favours for political friends'. The NDP fired B.C. Hydro president and CEO Ray Hunt at a price tag of $912,259 to die taxpayers of British Columbia, -so diey could put in their own NDP hack, Marc Eliesen," said Jarvis. On average, for ^le past tliree years under the NDP, B.C. Hydro presidents and vice-presidents have received incentive payments of $20,000 a year.

I JUST WANT TO BE DIFFERENT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE / ^PPpSSft 792-4420:-: Lust leads the road to misery By BILLKEYES "Do not love die world or the things of die world (not a reference to die "physical universe" which reflects the beauty and glory of God but die "ediical sense" - the sum-total of human life lived in disregard to God's Commandments). If you love the world, you do not have die Father's love. For everydiing that is in die world - die lust (cravings) of die flesh, and die lust of die eyes, and die pride of possession - these are not from die Father, but from die world. And die'world and its evil desires are passing away, but the one who does the will of God remains forever." (1 John 2:15-17) Lust (the unrestrained pursuit of gratification, sexual or material) seems to be die road that our society is on today; but ultimately, it is die road to misery and bankaiptcy! Is it little wonder why "chastity" (die restraint of desire) is mocked and scorned liy so many? "Chastity" is bad for business for chastity is the counter- cultural value in a consumer society. It is not surprising that the decline of chastity coincides historically with the rise of the consumer culture. It was not sea long ago that chastity, as a virtue was universally accepted, even if not uniformly practiced. There was a consensus among those whose role was to uphold standards of good behavior that die sexual urge ought to be controlled and restrained. But with two decades of unprecedented economic prosperity in Nordi America came unheard of levels of consumption, indulgence and waste. Unfortunately, many within our society have embraced the moral philosophy that a "desire is a sufficient reason for an action". It seems that there are a lot of people who have not been told diat desires may not be reliable guides to proper action (a desire to kill someone is no justification for killing; for the record, the act of killing is wrong). A strong desire should not be followed until it has been carefully analyzed and one is sure that it springs from sound motives and leads to worthy ends. But diis idea that within us are some rather powerful desires that may lie suspect and must be restrained ancl only acted upon after careful reflection is bad for business. How, I ask you, are we going to convince people to buy widi abandon when they won't indulge dieir sex drive with abandon? Many businesses, through advertising, attempt to make us want things, but all the advertising in die world will be for naught unless people come to believe that if they want something they should go. out and get it (modern world view tends to say "desires are sufficient reasons")! It is hard to maintain the attitude that my desires exist in order for me to gratify them (the consumer attitude) while holding onto die attitude that my desires are suspect and must be restrained (die chaste attitude). A house half-chaste and half-consumer is a house divided, and a house divided cannot stand- for long. But real joy and satisfaction is found in relationships - first, with God and secondly, with one another. Jesus Clirist, our Messiah, showed us how to walk this road diat leads to real joy - it is the way of self-restraint, self-denial and self-giving. It is die habit of putting the needs of odiers before one's own desires. It is die way of love! (Note: the author is not anti- business for he has been a businessman well before he became a pastor. He is only suggesting diat marketing strategy that promotes buying widi abandon may find at times it is running "head- on" into die concept that limiting ancl restraining "desire" is OK and. may prove, in die long mn, very beneficial and healdiy!)

The Angels Were Here By MARY PAN WEST-MOORE I tortured through another day, With elbow smashed and held in a cast, Shopping, cooking or washing Was no child's play. I took a pill to ease the pain, Lay down on the couch to rest again. I prayed to Angels to soothe the . ache. I slept awhile; then I was awake. But while I slept I felt broken bones Pulling into place, And knitting together By God's Grace. I opened my eyes to a glowing Light. And stood up to see The beauteous radiance Slipping away.

Anglicans discuss 'assisted suicide' m VANCOUVER - MP Svend. Robinson and Dr. Margaret Somerville, a professor of law and medicine ' at McGill University, will take part in a public dialogue at Clirist Church Cadiedral on Saturday, Dec. 3 on ethical questions surrounding assisted suicide and other end of life decisions. The dialogue is being sponsored by die Anglican cathedral as part of its on-going series on ediical issues facing professionals in the 1990s. The event, entided "End of Life Decisions: Choices and Responsibilities", begins at 7:30 p.m. and will be moderated by die Very Rev. Peter Elliott, Dean of die cadiedral.. The Rev. Linda St. Clair, one of the event's organizers, says advances in medical technology and recent demands for legalized assisted suicide have raided new dilemmas for health care workers and clergy who provide care for die terminally ill, as well as for individuals and families grappling with difficult end of life decisions. She says die situation may become even more complex if parliament passes Bill C-215, the private member's bill introduced diis year by Svend Robinson which proposes amendments to die criminal code to allow physician-assisted suicide. "If assisted suicides become legal, healdi care workers and clergy will face increased pressure to respond to requests, ancl individuals and families will have more complicated decisions surrounding end of life choices," says St. Clair. "We believe it's an issue diat neither the church nor society can walk away from." St. Clair says the two speakers FIRST AID TIPS! POISONS - every hour at least one child in B.C. is poisoned - over 50% of all poisonings occur in children less than 5 years old - most poisoning in children happens before lunch or dinner when they are hungry and less supervised - most poisonings occur while the products are being used - not while they are Stored - the most common poisons in children are: cough/cold medicines, vitamins, flouride, antibiotics, cleaners and plants - product labels may have first aid instructions that are incorrect • "child-proof" caps are not chlld-PROOF. they are only child-RESISTANT - you have a Poison Control Centre to help you when a poisoning occurs: For Poison Emergencies call: in lower mainland 682-5050 outside lower mainland 1-800-567-8911 (24 HOURS) Sm^qlhSs Count FIRST AMD I C.P.R.

All manner of strange sights and sounds greeted the students, helping prime them for the evening's tricks and treats. -Monique Gaiazka photo Halloween the theme for || school's reading program By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Coghlan Elementary School has put a different twist on Halloween by using it as a theme for a "Building a Community of Readers" program. The students participated by going around to different stations and for 15 minutes either read or were read to by older children. The twist was diat each station was manned by ghouls and goblins and all the stories were scary ones. At each station they got dieir Halloween Passport stamped, and when they collected all die stamps, they were given a ghost or cat bookmark. The stations included a wog- gle of witches, (named after die book by die same title) a Bat Cave, a cemetery, a pumpkin patch, a spider nest, and of course a haunted house. Teacher/Organizer Arlene Barichello said that the older students had a lot of fun setting up dieir stations, dressing up in scary costumes, ancl taking turns frightening the younger kids. The sevendi station was a craft table where participants made curly tailed cats and ghosts for decorations. Tlie real purpose of die event however, was to get kids and parents to realize diat reading is something that can be done for pleasure and is not necessarily something to moan about. Barichello says that it has been shown diat kids who have difficulty in school are die ones who don't have fully developed reading skills. This is one easy of getting kids to read ancl have fun at die same time.

UNITED OPTICAL "YOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE 32500 South Fraser Way, Clearbrook 85ftrZ115 I ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I have been to die store three times this last mondi to buy treats for die kids on Hallowe'en. Eveiy time I would check them to make sure I had enough die bags were almost empty. I assumed my kids had found them and had helped diemselves. On die second trip to die store I read diem the riot act ancl told diem to leave the candies alone. All diree of diem said they hadn't touched the bags. All of a sudden it came to me in a blinding flash (it's, a wonder no one was killed) that it was my husband who had pilfered the candies. I asked him to stop ancl he said I shouldn't buy them so soon before Hallowe'en. Well, I made anodier trip to die store and botight several more bags when he was at work ancl hid them in die basement. Is diere anything I can do with this candy stealer? Signed: Sheila Dear Sheila, Your problem hits home here. A few years ago I was making up a care package for our daughter, who was then working in Calgary. It was Eastenime ancl I bought an eighteen-inch chocolate ixinny to include in the box. Well, when I went to wrap up the assorted goodies I found the base of the bunny was the only tiling left in its box. Because we didn't have anyone else living with us at that time, I knew that die big guy had eaten the bunny. I simply gave him die task of going out and buying another. He had to make a trip to Clearbrook and after paying the price they • asked for diat treat I haven't had a problem since. Maybe diat's your answer: get your husband to shop for Hallowe'en treats next year. You may be pleasantly surprised, but hide diem anyway when he brings diem home. ♦ + ♦ Dear Readers, If you still have green tomatoes hanging outside I have a recipe I use eveiy fall to make use of the last of the harvest. Cook in pan, 1 onion, chopped, 8-10 green tomatoes, skinned ancl chopped, mushrooms if desired, salt and pepper to taste, pinch of nutmeg, garlic powder (or fresh, chopped) ancl two to diree teaspoons of curry mixed with a little water. Let simmer for an hour or so until it has diickened and then throw in any leftover cooked turkey, chicken, ham, beef or pork. Shrimp is good too. If desired throw in some raisins or cut up apple towards the end. Serve with rice or noodles. Delicious. ♦ ♦ ♦ There is a real estate agent in Chilliwack by the name of Jim Killer.

P§§ THE ALDERGROVE STAR, NOVEMBER 2,1994 21 Morning rush not getting lighter BURNABY - The GVRD has released the results of its Regional Travel Survey, changes in traffic patterns from 1985 to 1992. Major findings of the survey include die fact that there was more of a morning rush in 1992, with the number of- individual trips increasing since 1985 by 42%, while the increase of transit trips increased by only 25% in the same time period. It has been detemiined that two of die key factors for diis, are die increase of suburbanization and employment growth. The reasons for-die increase of car use are two. Firsdy, die job growth industry has been spread diroughout the region often making accessibility by any other mode of transportation such as bicycle, difficult. Secondly, there were stops along die driver's trip to work such as driving kids to school, spouses to work, etc. As a result of all of these increases the average commute to work in 1992 was 1.5 km farther, 20 minutes longer, ancl 2.8 km/hour slower than in 1985- The typical morning commute from suburb to downtown Vancouver is not typical anymore. Now, the majority of all regional trips begin and end out in die suburbs. Also six percent of trips start in Vancouver and go to the suburbs, combining for a total of 65% of all trips ending in the suburbs. Also, the majority of trips that ended in Vancouver also started diere. This ' is not to say that Vancouver doesn't have it's share of traffic problems, although it does have the best transit system. to help accommodate its squeeze of traffic. The increase in the number of trips ending in Vancouver between 1985 and 1992 was over 70,000. In suburban areas however, it was much greater; over 200,000 more trips per morning. Between 1985 and 1992, the percentage of people using transit has declined, but service im provements throughout the region have had a great, positive impacts in selected subregions.. Langley and Maple Ridge have improved their use of transit, and Skytrain has improvecl?USage in New Westminster and Burnaby. Everywhere else diough, including 'Vancouver, transit use has declined. In 1992 morning rush hour trips from Langley were as follows: To Langley 38,925; to; Surrey/Delta 8,310; to' Burnaby/New West 2,825; to Vancouver 2,385; to Richmond 1,670; to die North Shore 540; to the Northeast sector 510; and to Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge 480, for a total of 55,645. Of the 43,800 people employed in Langley (the figure difference includes students and other drivers) 60% drive to work an average of 23 km. Of die workers coming into Langley 55% drive an average of 19 km. These distances also include any stops along the way such as dropping die kids off at day care.

There's room for parents at new education office By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Tlie District Parent Advisory Council would like to let all parents know about the recendy opened District Parent Room, in die new school board office, 4875 - 222 Street. DPAC president Linda Kaye says diat die room puts into reality die plirase dial parents are "Partners in Education," and shows diat the trustees are true to dieir open door policies. Each school in the district has a Parent Advisory Council, and the District Council holds meetings widi representatives from all tlie PACs. Conni Lasheras, rOom coordinator, says that now they can have businesslike meetings, in dieir own space, without children interrupting, or being asked to move to a different room because someone needs the one dieir in. All infomiation about dealings widiin the school district is'open to parents, and is available in the room. Anything not readily accessible can be requested ancl will be sent to the room. Parents are no longer transferred from one department to anodier and then left waiting for diree weeks for something to arrive. For example, since the district is decentralized, each school plans its own budget and spends its money the way it sees fit. Parents can go to the parent room and look at the budgets of all the schools, make compar isons with their own schools ancl learn from each odier. Tlie Parent Advisory Councils are the evolution of what parents were and what parents will become when it comes to dealing widi dieir children's education, according to Kaye." It was legislated in the provincial School Act of 1989 diat parents shall have input on any matter, ranging from budgets to discipline. It was also legislated diat the Parent Advisory Councils will be separate entities, different from Parent-Teacher groups of die past. ^f?»l The goal of the DPAC diis'year is to "educate, inform ancl empower parents to enable them to be strong advocates fSrnour sfii-j*' dents." The room will help them achieve this goal in that information for parents is easily accessible in one place: Kaye says diat the .parents want more say in their children's education. "It's important that parents help Out, get involved and be part of a committee. It has been shown that a school's success is directly related to its relationship with parents and the community. The greater the parental involvement, die greater the success." Lasheras adds^ "There is more to being a parent than helping out on Hot Dog Day, ancl this Parent Room is physical evidence diat die roles of parents in education are changing."
