The film, directed by Fraser Heston and starring Thora Birch and Vincent Kartheiser, is about two young children looking for their father, a bush pilot lost in the woods. Along the way they rescue a bear cub from poachers, who becomes their friend. Agee, who weighed just one pound at birth, came from the Kolmarden zoo in Sweden, last February. Her mother does not have a tongue and was unable to care for the cub, which was hand raised. Heston, who loves the outdoors, said it would be immoral to take a polar bear from the wild, and Mark Wiener and his wife Dawn, owners of Creative Animal Talent, said they will keep Agee as long as she lives, wliich will be about 30 years. Wiener, who has films such as Cat People, The Bear, Grizzly Adams and Yellow Dog: Far from Home to his credit, has become Agee's 'mother', and a dog named Schroeder has become her companion. Normally it would be the cub's mother that teaches it life skills such as swimming, but it was Wiener and Schroeder who got Agee into her pool the first time. Polar bears are referred to as nature's solar heated animals, because the skin under their coat is black and their hairs are hollow which together trap heat, making it difficult for bears to get cool, even in the frigid arctic. Since Agee is still a cub, and her skin hasn't blackened yet, she still gets cold in the water, and needs coaxing to get in. To combat the solar heating she will experience when her skin does finally blacken, Agee has an air conditioned trailer complete with a pool in the back, which will be at the filming locations in Tofino and at Whisder. In the wild, polar bear's diets consist mostly of high-fat seals, and currendy Agee is on a milk diet mixed with highest fat dog food available. When she's working however, she gets the food that she likes: hot dogs and Twinkies. Wiener's favourite animals to work with are Kodiak grizzlies and Polar bears. He said that polar bears are tlie smartest bears in the world, and are a litde more predictable that grizzly bears. Heston has worked with Wiener in the past as director of Needful Things, and called him one of the best bear trainers in the world, always in control but gentle at the same time. Birch, who will be working closely with Agee, said that she is excited to be working with the bear. 'It's a long process, getting to know the bear. She's still a baby, and she's very energetic." Assault at gas station ABBOTSFORD - One man and two young offenders have been arrested after an assault on two local men at a gas station on South Fraser Way, just after 2 a.m, Tuesday, June 27. One victim was hit with a pipe, and both were knocked to the ground and kicked, receiving minor injuries. Bounnhou Somsy and one youth have been charged with assault, the other youth was charged with Assault with a weapon. All three appeared in Provincial court on June 29, for a show cause hearing. FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE Cops not thrilled By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Local RCMP members and politicians are not thrilled that the RCMP logo and emblem have been handed over to the Disney Corporation for safekeeping, but they aren't too concerned about it either. Langley RCMP Superintendent Rick McMartin declined official comment but did say that marketing of the RCMP logo has gotten out of hand, and the Disney organization is family oriented with a good, solid background. Township Mayor John Scholtens said that trademarks are important but when the government owns it, it tends to get used and abused. He said he is not qualified to say whether Disney is the way to go, but it's not his decision. Fraser Valley West MP Randy White, said he hasn't been following the issue too closely, but insisted the move was made more > to protect the logo than discredit it 'The RCMP should really be trying to control the traditional uniform, logo and presentation of the RCMP. It's a part of Canadian heritage which shouldn't be changed, as it's one of the few things that's really traditional Canadiana." When asked about an American company having control over the logo, he laughed and said that the government has gone to an American company to design Canadian stamps. 'The only thing the Liberal government does in Canada is tax people, for everything else they seem to prefer to go off-shore."

Reform candidacy. Township councillor Mel Kositsky has announced his intention to seek the B.C. Liberal nomination. However, both parties are not holding their nomination meetings until October or November, so there is plenty of time for other challengers to get in the race. Local polling shows that these two parties are the serious contenders in this riding, with the governing New Democrats in distant third place but ahead of "fringe" parties such as Progressive Democratic Alliance, Social Credit, and Greens. The riding's current MLA, Liberal Gary Farrell-Collins was elected in 1991, but has moved to Vancouver-Little Mountain where he recendy won the Liberal nomination for the next election. Twidale, whose only previous political involvement was with organization of federal Rcfonners to elect MP Randy White (Twidale stepped down from vice-presidency of Reform's Fraser Valley West constituency party after the 1993 election), said he got involved with B.C. Reform because he believes that leader Jack Weisgerber "has the political experience to turn things around." While federal and provincial Reformers "are totally separate entities, their policies are similar." Twidale said he deplores the "tax and spend policies" that took control of Canada since the days of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. "Budgets have not been balanced in 30 years. Canada is definitely the best country in the world ...(but) we are running it into the ground wilh over-government, over-spending and over-regulation. We need to balance the budget by reducing spending, then reduce taxes to let people spend their own money, which will pump up the economy. The best form of government is die least government, and only tlie Reform party of B.C. offers that approach." The 52 year old veterinarian said he's not impressed with the Liberals: 'They won't balance the budget or make the cuts; they have no intention to. They want to be all things to all people." He doesn't see the Liberals keeping this seat: 'This is a niral community, and has always voted Social Credit, except for last time when there was no alternative but to vote Liberal. There is a strong alternative this time." He admits to disappointment in the recent Abbotsford byelection, won by Liberal John Van Dongen, but credits it to poor voter turnout (42% compared to the usual 70%). "We didn't get the voters out. We could and should have won it." He points to the recent Ontario Conservative landslide, led by Mike Harris. "It truly is a com- monsense revolution. People realize they want change." Twidale is a serious contender for his party here, as he is well regarded and respected in the community. Ht received his degrees from Cambridge University in his native country of England,, and worked in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Asia, before emigrating to Canada in 1969. "I went job-hunting the day after I arrived here and found Dr. John Twidale a job within five days," said Twidale. He established his equine veterinary practice in Aldergrove in 1973, and he and wife, Gordana, raised their three children here. He sold his clinic and horse farm two years ago, but continues his veterinary practice from their home in Murrayville and Gordana operates an art gallery in Langley city. With their children now mature (a university student, a mechanic and a high school graduate), he said, "It's time to do something bigger than the daily routine." As well as residing and working in the riding, he has made many friends and contacts here over the years. Naturally, he's been involved with community horse-owner organizations, local government and business groups, along with Rotary and Mason clubs, which has provided him with public speaking skills. Local Reform party president Robert Kearl said, "The nomination meeting will be held in November, to give plenty of time for candidates to identify themselves to the voters and to discuss Reform party policy at public meetings to be held in Fort Langley, Walnut Grove, Murrayville and Aldergrove during the summer and early fall." Kearl said other interested candidates should contact the nominations committee: Sam Ome- lanicc at 534-9628, Eric Bysouth at 534-3133, or president Robert Kearl at 888-5811. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE of the FRASER VALLEY killer could walk streets in Canada By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Convicted criminal Boujan Aai Inthavong could be released from custody as early as Friday, if deportation talks between Canada and Laos don't speed up. It was early last month that Canadian immigration officials received word from the Laotian government that they can only issue travel documents to people with Laotian passports and therefore could not issue papers for Inthavong. Canadian officials at that time said the Laotian government's refusal to issue the papers was unreasonable, and the Canadian Ambassador in Thailand requested a meeting with Laotian officials to discuss the matter. It is unknown at this time if that meeting has occurred. Inthavong was convicted of aggravated assault in the 1990 beating and shooting death of Abbotsford resident Kirby Martin. He was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered deported. While still in jail, he appealed the deportation order, which was denied by an Immigration Appeal Board. Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi himself declared Inthavong a danger to the Canadian public. Since Inthavong's release from jail and re-arrest on an outstanding immigration order in April, Fraser Valley West MP Randy White has been pressuring officials to follow through with tlie deportation order. Inthavong is due for another hearing, which he is entitled to every 30 days, to determine whether he should be kept in custody. White has attended every hearing, this being the third, but is skeptical this time. 'The Immigration Deparunent hasn't told us anything lately, so I assume talks are moving very slowly. Unless we can show progress, Friday could be the day they let him out."

Volunteers, under the direction of program coordinator Dwayne Beckerleg, have been approaching local businesses with the concept, similar to Crime Watch and Block Parent, and getting a very positive response. The motto of the program is "Your concern is our concern," and volunteers have spent many hours talking to, and listening to, business owners in the community- What they have found is that many owners have experienced nuisance problems such as kids on the roof or vandalism, but not deemed them important enough to bother the police. Volunteers record the information and are compiling statistics that will indicate the level of policing needed AsrnQtTE AUCIIOK Monday, July 10 7:00 pm CENTRAL AUCTION 20560 Langley Bypass, Langley 534-8322 for the community. Business owners are happy to have input into how the community is policed and are free to share all their concerns and comments regarding policing with the volunteers, who keep all information confidential. Volunteers are also updating files about businesses and who owns them. Currently files are kept by the Fire Department and are not frequently updated. Should a business alarm be set off, and the owner unable to be contacted, an RCMP member has to stay at the scene until someone can be contacted. Volunteers will also be spending time with owners offering advice on preventing workplace crime, and sending out a quarterly newsletter updating local business owners about happenings in the area that are important to business. All the Langley Community Policing Stations are involved in the program, and volunteers have worked hard to put it together and are still working hard to make it work. Aldergrove merchants can find out about Business Watch through Constable Al Wakelin of the Aldergrove Community Policing office at 3087 - 271 Street between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m, Monday to Friday, or by calling the office at 856-7386.

'The problem for Canada, however, is that the explosions will be far more devastating for Canada's future generations and will come much sooner than it will for Americans." "What is not well known by most Canadians", Richardson observed in his study tided Some Implications of Excessive Public Debt in Canada and the United States, "is that, whereas the U.S. social security is partially funded, the comparable Canadian programs are entirely unfunded. These unfunded liabilities totalled $ 1.7-trilIion in Canada as of December 31, 1994, which is more than double the $752-billion of outstanding net debt of the government of Canada, the provinces and territories plus all local governments across the country. Generational accounting shows that Canada's fiscal policy and social security system, taking into account lhe government's promises to Canadians for future benefits from the Canada and Quebec Pension Plans, Old Age Security and Medicare, is unsustainable. The same conclusion holds for the U.S. fiscal policy and social security programs although Canada will undoubtedly 'hit the wall' in its inability to finance existing social security programs and will have to make-' dramatic policy changes much sooner." Richardson suggested that as far as public pensions are concerned, some of these policy changes would include increases in the retirement age and/or cuts in benefit levels as well as sharp cuts in government spending. "In the absence of these kinds of policy adjustments, painful though they may be, existing debt levels and unfunded liabilities will continue to grow and require higher taxes on future generations." Richardson advised the American actuaries to keep an eye on Canada. "Canada's fiscal difficulties and intergeherational tensions are a leading indicator of things to come in your country if American taxpayers allow your governments to live beyond their means. Responsible governments must avoid excessive debt, making . promises they cannot keep and the problems that result" Faces of Canada - Lucy Dansa from Ghana was among several new Canadians to take traditional citizenship court in Fort Langley, July 1. Police chase car thief ABBOTSFORD - Police conducting a routine traffic check at McClure Road near FJwood Park on Sunday, July 2, stopped a car, which, when the officer approached it, suddenly sped off down McClure Road.

JULY 5,1995 a,u -.. TAX FREEDOM DAY PUSHED AHEAD Canadians work until July 15 just to pay tax VANCOUVER - The average Canadian's tax burden is 46% of income. This is revealed in calculations released by the Fraser Institute, an independent Canadian research institute. According to tlie figures, the average tax rate in the country is 46 percent of cash income for the average family comprised of two or more individuals. Total taxes of the average family rose by $859 over their level one year ago. The Vancouver-based research organization is the only group that calculates the comprehensive tax burden for the average family and provides annual measurements of the tax burden in the various' provinces. These calculations have been made by the Institute in each year since 1977. The Institute also calculates what it calls' Tax Freedom Day, that day in the year when the average Canadian family has done enough work to pay the total tax Get the hell out, Lucien Lucien Bouchard was elected as the leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. If he doesn't want the job, he should get the hell out and stop wasting taxpayers' money. -Dawson Creek Daily News Gaming policies a cop-out VICTORIA - The B.C. Reform party is accusing the Harcourt - government of shunning its responsibility to effectively control the expansion of gaming policies in the province. Party Leader, Jack Weisgerber called the government's handling of the situation a 'cop-out'. "By throwing this political hot potato to the B.C. Gaming Commission, the Harcourt government is simply hoping it won't get politically burned when the new expanded gambling niles are quietly slipped through by the Commission," he said. Weisgerber also said that his caucus is concerned about Native casinos, and before they are established, there must be some form of legal guarantee that provincial gaining standards will apply equally on reserves and can be equally enforced. The Green party of B.C. is upset about Tourism Minister Bill Barlee's statement that the government is studying the idea of a casino, where only foreigners would be allowed to bet Party Leader Stuart Parker called this 'the latest in a series of unsubtle strategies... to turn Vancouver into Las Vegas North.' 'The Mirage Resorts office in Vancouver is still open," Parker said. "Vancouverites may feel they have defeated an attempt to foist a casino oA our city but in. fact, the batde has just begun. "Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark are hell-bent on bringing casino gambling and all its attendant crime addiction and violence to Vancouver and they won't take no for an answer." bill imposed on it by the various levels of government. According to the Institute's executive director, Dr. Michael Walker, 'Tax Freedom Day is, effectively, the, day when the average Canadian family starts working for itself. Until that point in the year, all of the family's earnings are required to pay its tax bill." Since 1961, Canada's Tax Freedom Day has advanced 46 days. In 1961, Tax Freedom Day fell on May 3. By 1974, Tax Freedom Day falls on June 18. Tax Freedom Day falls on a different day in the provinces according to the extent of the provincial tax burden. The earliest Tax Freedom Day falls on May 18 in Nova Scotia. The latest date is in Saskatchewan The greatest gift of all is a family Editor, The Star, Sir, Recendy, I had the privilege of watching my family being born. It was an unforgettable, incredibly Cats breed like rabbits Editor, The Star, Sir, The time of year SPCA staff dread most is upon us again: kitten season. During this time of year we see a significant increase in die number of cats coming into die shelter. The staff feel owners of open (not spayed or neutered) cats should be made aware of a serious problem. We believe the best way to accomplish this would be to inform them of our troubling statistics..: The following numbers represent what took place with cats in the Abbotsford shelter between June 1,1995 and June 30,1995. Cats Kittens Total Recived 118 221 339 Returned to owner 8 6 14 Adopted 11 34 45 Humanely destroyed 98 133 231 The people who should be held responsible for these needless deaths are those who do not spay or neuter their cats. Very simple procedures called spaying and neutering will reduce the death rate significantly. We see the proof of spaying and neutering working by looking at the dogs we receive. The kittens received this June total more than the number of puppies received in all of 1994. We find a high percentage of dogs we encounter are spayed or neutered, not the case for the cats we encounter. There are people who intentionally allow their cat to get pregnant to witness the miracle of birth. They are a group of people I believe can be shown the error of their way. Question: Is witnessing birth worth the death of the young after it is born? The potential exists for the mother cat and her offspring to be responsible for the -birth of several thousand cats in five years. There will be far less deaths in the future if we reduce the number of open cats. M. BOEKHORST Superintendent, SPCA, Abbotsford emotional experience. Not only did I gain a family that day, I gained a powerful respect for woman. Everything had finally come to a head and we were wound right up. The anxiety of the last few weeks of the pregnancy. The fact that we were classed as high risk. The knowledge that our lives were going to be drastically changed forever. The fear of inadequacy; would I be able to handle the responsibility of being a parent? I was in rough shape. They broke Diane's water at 10 am, Monday morning, June 27. The doctor said it was for the best; he would give us one hour for labor to start, otherwise he would induce it. We didn't want that if we could avoid it, no unnecessary chemicals, you know how it is. Diane's labor started about fifteen minutes later. It' didn't look like fun at all, and in no time Diane looked pale and weak. The next ninety minutes were a blur. An anaesthetist came in and rigged Diane up for an eppidural in case of an emergency "c" section. Two nurses were in and out constantly setting up all the equipment and checking the fetal monitor. A pediatrician made his appearance telling us his role to come. One hour and forty minutes after it started the nurse checked Diane for dilation; she looked a bit panicky when she said "Oh, ten centimetres, get the doctor now!" I guess Diane had moved along a litde faster than diey bargained for. Now things really got going; two doctors came storming in and checked the patient: yes, we're ready. As they got their gloves on they gave final instructions to the nurses. The room was large, and filling up fast the birth specialist, the resident doctor, pediatrician, anaesthetist, and no less than ten nurses. I learned later that four of them were just there to watch. The doctors got Diane into position and took the bottom half of the bed away. Diane was really hurting by this time; she was a stubborn girl and wanted to do this without pain killers. I saw her pushing hard, she had tears in her eyes, and the sound of hurt forced its way past her clenched teeth, then it was over. Diane melted back on to the bed as the doctors hurried my son away to be checked out; the time was eleven forty-five. Now they moved an ultrasound over to check inside. If the placenta blocked the birth canal, Diane would have to go for the emergency "c'* section. Another reason for the ultra sound was to see, if the last two babies were still breech. They were. Tense minutes ticked by as the doctors conferred, they looked calm, but we knew time was running out, the decision would have lo be made. - The pediatrician stuck his head in the room and announced that Ian weighed five pounds four ounces and was in good shape. This seemed to lighten the mood, and seemed a signal for Diane to get back into action. With another contraction and some manipulation from the doctor the placenta was out. You would have thought it was* the golden egg the way everyone cheered. They knew how close it had been. We weren't out of the woods yet, but our luck was holding. Again the doctors conferred, they were going in to get the last two babies. The doctor reached up the birth . canal and into the womb, got the baby by both feet, and broke the water as he guided it down and out. Another boy, four pounds fourteen ounces. It was amazing. Even more amazing was Diane, crying and hurting like I can't imagine what, and, joking about the doctor with the fattest arms in the world, knowing that he was going to have to go back in there for the last one. Five minutes later diat's exactly what he did. This one seemed the worst, Diane was screeching with pain, still she pushed harder. The baby was half way out and the contraction stopped. I could see this little gray bum and legs hanging there with no life in them at all, a rag doll. I was mortified. The doctor waited. I'm yelling in my head, "Pull it out, man!" He just stood there. The nurse at Diane's side called out that another contraction was coming, the doctor resumed his gende urging, and it was all over. Diane, bathed in sweat, gave a shuddering sigh and lay back totally exhausted. The doctor took my daughter out, she was five pounds eleven ounces, and healthy. Then came the uproar, every one was hugging, and kissing, and crying,- and congf-tnlat-* ing, and laughing, and wiping tears and patting on the back. Slowly the hospital staff left. They brought in our three children and were gone. Now there was just the seven of us, four stunned adults holding three tiny babies. I was holding Ian, born first. My wife was holding Lochlan, second born, Diane's husband was holding the. third born, my daughter, Diane. You see, Diane, that beautiful, wonderful woman, my sister-in-law, had just given birth to her two nephews and her niece. She had put her life on hold, went through embarrassing procedures at the fertility clinic, carried our babies for thirty-six weeks, went through all the miseries of pregnancy times three, and went through hell to give them life. Diane did all this for us. I walked to the bed and looked down into her face. I saw a very tired woman, but the pride and joy in her eyes was overwhelming. She had given us the greatest gift of all, a family. ROBIN WATERS, Aldergrove Challenge met Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of the Regional Disabled Persons Assoc, the B.C.

We anticipate approximately 4,000 in total to come during those four days in September which will boost the local economy, increasing business in the local restaurants and shops. As the out-of-town groups require accommodation, the local hotels and motels are filling up. The kickoff is getting closer for the 13th annual Langley Cup which originated in 1978 as a small local tournament, and now for the second time, after a break in the late 80s, is growing to a large international tournament with participants from as far away as Nigeria, New Zealand, France, Austria, Albania and the USA (Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Utah, California and Oregon) and across Canada. A large contin gency of Premier 1 and 2. teams will also be competing for the coveted Langley Cup from Seattle and Portland. We also received a big interest from Japan. A First Nations club from Saskatoon will be participating and entertaining us with authentic Indian ceremonial dances during the opening ceremony and team leaders' banquet. This year we already registered a female team from France; F.C. Lyon, the French champions, and a 1117 and 1119 from Albania. We are.at die moment trying to help several Nigerian teams (specifically the Iiineh Warriors Y.F.C.) get a visa to come this year after not successfully arranging to do so last year. Teams from Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Vernon, Smithcrs Terrace, Quesnel and Penticton have already registered with a few teams fonn the Fraser Valley and Vancouver district. The local teams are slow compared to the out-of-town clubs. We need more local teams, boys and girls. Regis- That's the Spirit By GEOFF McCORMICK ALDERGROVE - Fraser Valley Spirit boys took silver in the Kelowna Summer Soccer Classic. The new look Spirit team had it's first taste of competition over the Canada Day long weekend, when diey travelled to Kelowna to take part in a tournament that attracted teams from as far away as Missouri and Whitehorse. The Fraser Valley team beat Whitehorse 2-1, Vernon 2-1 and tied Kelowna 4—4 in Round Robin play, finishing first in the group. The final matched them up with a fine Vancouver Island select team, one year older. The Spirit were hard-pressed to contain the fluent Islanders but managed to come up with a very solid and exciting performance before going down to a 3-2 defeat. Newcomer Mandip Bumbrah scored (4), provincial player Rhys McCormick (2), Shaminder Birring (2), Joel Schroeder (1), Francis McCann (1 pen.).

All of the members did an excellent job, but we would like to congratulate Phil Smith on winning with his speech about Amnesty International. Mike Morris came second and Meagon Olsen came third. In March the junior members gave their speeches; for some it was the first time. For the junior members Stephanie Tidball came first with her speech "Feisty and Fearless", Stephanie did an excellent speech on Jack Russell Terriers. In second place was Kathleen Milbum with her speech about her little brother. Courtney Milburn came in third place with her speech on her car.

For the seniors Mike Morris and George Tidball won with their demonstration on how to make Billy Miner pies. In second place was Christine Morris and Serena Caunce, their demonstration was called "Decoupage Easter Eggs". In third place was Katie Baker and Susan McLaren who showed us how to make decorative baskets. Both the first and second place winners advanced to the district competition, where Serena and Christine won second place. In May Serena and Christine competed in the Regional Demonstration competition, congratulations on doing an excellent job. In the junior competition Tanya Caunce and Kathleen Mil- burn won and advanced to districts with their demonstration on "Charming Champion Chocolates". In second place was Stephanie Tidball and Jennifer Niemi who taught the club how to plant bulbs. Finally in third place was Courtney Milburn and Myles Lamont with "Skinny Dip" - they showed how to make special chip dips. Everyone did a great job, and we all learned a lot In May the annual Sheep and Wool Fair was held and the club participated in the many events. There was a trimming competition which many of the members entered. The entire club participated in the Sheep to Square competition. In this event the wool was sheared off a lamb, it was then carded. The wool was then spun, and finally knitted into a square. The members also ran the concession stand to raise money for the club. All in all it was a very successful weekend. Now that the fair season has arrived, the members are working very hard to prepare and do their best. I wish everyone the best of luck and hope everyone has lots of fun.

Man's best friend Dogs should not ride in the back of open pickup trucks. Either keep them in the cab or inside a shaded and secured kennel crate in the truck bed. Dogs leap out of moving vehicles for many reasons. Vehicle accidents, fractures, severe wounds and death frequently follow such events. At best, a dog in an open pickup will suffer inflammation of the eyes and ears. Man's best friend deserves better treatment.

Reform to fight photo radar VICTORIA - The Harcourt government should scrap its plan to introduce photo radars on B.C. roads and highways, the BC Reform caucus unanimously declared this week. "The Ontario election should have sent a clear signal to the Harcourt government that if it proceeds with its plans to introduce photo radars, it does so at its own political peril," caucus chair Len Fox said. "Of course we agree that speed is an important factor in many accidents, but that shouldn't give the province' license to photograph any driver it wants, without their knowledge."

Spaces are filling quickly for the 1995 camp which is located at Hatzic Lake in Mission. Children aged 7-10 years attend August 13-16; those 11-13 years attend August 16-19. Activities include swimming, canoeing and hiking - all supervised by doctors and other health professionals.

Sea monster chipped from Its rocky grave SANDSPIT - The fossilized remains of a 110-million-year-old sea monster have been recovered from its sandstone crypt on a small, uninhabited island in the Queen Charlottes, a paleontologist says. A team from the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, Alberta, spent a week last month on McLellan Island. They unearthed a flipper, ribs and vertebrae of a plesiosaur, expedition leader Dr. Betsy Nicholls says. "Plesiosaurs were marine reptiles - sea monsters, basically. They looked like Loch Ness monsters with a flat body, four big flippers, a long neck and a small head, Nicholls says. 'The age of the rock is quite important These animals were very common at an earlier time and they were very common a litde later. But they weren't very common at this particular period of time." Nicholls says extracting the plesiosaur fossil from the surrounding sandstone was difficult. "The plesiosaur was not very complete. Had it been complete, it would have been about 40 feet long. We had to cut it out with a rock saw and drill through the sandstone with a hand-held pneumatic hammer."

Partners sought in new hydro project BURNABY - The GVRD is prepared to consider a public/private partnership for development and operation of a proposed hydroelectric power project at Cleveland Dam on the Capilano River. The 16-megawatt plant, which would generate enough power for 5,000 homes, would be located in an underground chamber in the west abutment of the dam. It would use only surplus water available in winter and not oper ate in the summer months when water demand is highest. Studies have shown the scheme is practical. The power would be sold to BC Hydro. The project was suspended in 1993 because of budget restraints. However, new funds have been authorized. An environmental impact assessment, started earlier but suspended due to the budget restraints, will now be completed and additional public consultation activities may be undertaken.

Members of the APD and Canada Customs Officials have had many dealings recendy with citizens of other countries attempting to enter Canada with restricted weapons. In the majority of cases people were either planning to vacation in Canada or were headed to Alaska. If the weapons had been declared with the customs official, arrangements could have been made to have them shipped to Alaska, or held at the customs port until the vacationers returned. However, once efforts are made to conceal weapons, or an attempt is made to enter Canada without declaring them, an offence has been committed.

The election of officers resulted in Bill Jackson, president; Doug White, vice president; Ceceel White, secretary. Alice Fletcher will carry on as treasurer. This will be the last meeting until September 25. Several members described the bus trips taken, and gave the members their observations. The bus trip to Squamish and return, by boat to Squamish and return by train to North Vancouver and home by bus, was enjoyed by 38 members. Over sixty years ago, my girl, who later became my wife, and I took the train trip from North Vancouver to Alta Lake and return. This run by open cars, called tourist cars, enabled the passengers to enjoy the liberal smoke clouds that poured with abandon from the engine. I cannot remember anything of the scenery but I do remember several members of the nudist camp at Alta Lake lining the track to wave us on. Although the mosquitos at the lake were as big as hornets and could drill through steel plate with the greatest of ease, I wondered what type of repellent the nudists were smeared with, for despite my most meticulous inspection I could not see a single mosquito on them. Bus trips coming up are as follows: Alpine meadow tour, Monday, July 10, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Hope Princeton Highway to Manning Park and Allison Pass at 1342 ft.

So once again we are to propose the Aldergrove Bypass. Those opposed are screaming about the rape of the farmland. I have always thought that farm land produced products that either fed or housed the nation. However, most of the farms in the Langley area are increasingly turning to the production of a very expensive byproduct of horses, namely manure, which however attractively packaged would not be a best seller in the supermarkets of today. The freeway, when proposed, got its chorus of screamers about the rape of the farmland and how the Fraser Highway would be able to handle the traffic into the distant future was the song of the times. Langley Bypass caused the chorus to start up again. What dire consequences were forecast for that. So now we are now in the foretold future of both of these projects and it has been amply proved that the vocal objectors were just using their breath to exercise their tonsils.

By LARA BRODIE Sometimes you're just not in the mood for Oscar calibre performances, sometimes you just want obnoxious, shallow entertainment. And so, you go to a Stallone movie. Ah Sly, a living caricature, how could Hollywood exist without him? I peeled into the theatre parking lot and beat it to the wicket "Judge Dredd!" I queried, "Has it started yet?" With companion in tow, the theatre in flickering blackness, we had mere seconds to plant our buns before the feature presentation would grace our eyes. 'We made it!" I giggled. I was remembering October, 1993, I was running late for another Stallone flick, "Demolition Man." But it wouldn't matter because, I forecast, it probably wouldn't be very good. It turned out to be extremely entertaining. This time around, I wanted to catch every second of the show. The movie is set in the future during a time when the world is referred to as 'The cursed Earth" and the current justice system consists of men and women trained to perform the duties of cop, judge and jury. Joseph Dredd is one of these "judges" and attacks his job with emotionless gusto. He is a loner, his career is his life, he certainly didn't expect to find himself being shuttled to a penal colony. Set up for the murder of a reporter and his wife, the evidence against him is compelling. His future is prison. Meanwhile, we discover that Joseph's life has been a lie. He is no mere mortal, he is the product of the Janus project, the scientifically created perfect judge. Unfortunately, the project has its glitches, and the ideal criminal was created as well. This man is his brother, Rico, a recent prison escapee and the man who helped to set up Dredd. With Dredd out of the way and with a newly appointed corrupt chief justice heading the council, the evil plan is to reopen the Janus files, kill off the existing human judges and replace them with genetic mutations. Armand Assante does a fascinating job of playing the role of Rico. Rob Schneider is the comic relief. Diane Lane gets the requisite character of tough, beautiful, intelligent woman. In a way, Judge Dredd is sort of a different take on Demolition Man, though perhaps, not quite as good. But it is certainly better than Lory Petty's 'Tank Giri", the previous British cartoon to hit North America in a movie version.

His new, 25th solo album, Days Like This is certain to continue this tradition and is already playlisted on a variety of music stations here on the coast. As ever, the music and words are contemplative -- titles like No Religion, Underlying Depression and Melancholia give that aspect away — but he's a master of atmosphere, as he's proved with classics like Have I Told You Lately. He's not pompous though, as the words of Songwriter show ("Get the words on the page, please don't call me a sage, I'm a songwriter..."). Raincheck evokes the motto of this newspaper ("It's not high finance, it's called heart and soul... won't let the bastards grind me down."). Morrison is joined by many of his old musical stalwarts: Pee Wee Ellis, Kate St. John, Ronnie Johnson, Brian Kennedy are among the cream of the crop. He's also joined in two duets (Ray Charles' You Don't Know Me and another cover, III Never Be Free) with his daughter, Shana. She's not in the same singing leagues as Cassandra Wilson, but as Shana showed in last year's Morrison tribute album, No Prima Donna, she has gusto and affection for her father's work (it might be nepotism but what kind of father would he be if he didn't give her a break any way?). It's a family affair, with an allstar band behind the best singer and songwriter we've got. This is a keeper. Sting has gone on to a successful solo career over the past decade, but there's many fond memories of his former band, the Police. I've had the pleasure of seeing them in the intimate Commodore as well as the Coliseum, and these three men were an awesome force that smoked other bands that came out of the late- '70s so-called punk movement. Andy Summers is a brilliant guitarist capable of many moods, Stewart Copeland's drumming was rich in polyrhythms that sounded so effortlessly and Father and child reunion: Van and Shana Morrison on new album. deceptively simple, and Sting's jazz influences showed in both his bass playing and singing. How many other "punk" bands could stretch out song improvisations for ten minutes and still entertain? A new two-set called Live! showcases two performances: the first side is 1979 at Boston's Oqiheum, and the second is 1983's Synchronic! ty tour stop in Atlanta. The Police'broke all the rules, and while the band only lasted six years, they left a lot of great songs behind. This album does them justice. Festivals get into swing this month, with Lollapalooza, Another Roadside Attraction, and the Harrison, Mission and Vancouver folk fests, plus Merritt Mountain's country blowout. Take your pick and have fun, but if amplification is the only medication you need, don't miss Kim Mitchell this Saturday at the Commodore.

The center also assists companies trying to hire workers by locating suitable applicants. -Monique Gaiazka photo Americans finding new ways to meet employment changes By MONIQUE GALAZKA BELLINGHAM - It's hard to find good help these days, but if a business in Whatcom County needs help finding help, the Washington State Employment Security, Job Service Centre is ready to help. The centre, in addition to helping people find jobs, helps employers with the recruitment of workers. Michael Riber, Supervisor of the Bellingham office receives several calls a week from Canadian business owners looking to expand into Washington State and in need of workers. His office will locate suitable employees and screen them, but not as much as some employers would like. "Often employers are not necessarily looking for the experienced person, they are looking for the 'right' person," said Riber. "We don't discriminate that way. For example if a restaurant is looking to hire a server, we will find someone who is qualified but not necessarily a 'waitress' who is a pretty, young female. Many companies will train someone whom they consider to be the 'right' person, even if there is an already qualified person available. It's hard for us to screen applicants sometimes." Canadian employers move to the U.S. to reach new, larger markets, but labour unrest in B.C. is also a major cause for the move south. Many Canadian business owners are unhappy with Canadian wages and unions. John Carter, Director of Finance and Economic Development for the Port of Bellingham said in a previous interview that labour unrest in the Port of Vancouver, and other B.C. ports, are bonuses for the shipping industry in Washington State, particularly Bellingham. Riber said that unions in Whatcom County weren't keeping people employed in the early 80s, and many people quit the unions and took on 'lesser' jobs. Over the last 30 years organized labour membership in the U.S. has dropped significantly, but Washington State's membership dropped by 63.6% compared to the national average of 30%. "I'm not sure how much the unions here have recovered," said Riber. "Although I know employees prefer union work, if they can get it." He also said diat what's lacking is the Job Service Center's ability to help high-trained professionals find jobs. "We have a wide variety of highly-trained, professional workers whom we can't serve with job leads as much as we would like to, because the higher-end jobs get filled very quickly, and there aren't that many of them. "We are looking specifically to help businesses in the technological industry that need to hire trained professionals because there are a lot of them here without suitable jobs."

Hydro, BC Tel and B.C. Wood Recycling Ltd. The three companies are partners in a project to recycle thousands of old poles into marketable lumber. Every year, about 5,000 poles in the lower mainland are removed. Now, instead of being disposed in landfill sites, many of the poles are being shipped to a wood-recycling facility in Surrey. First, any embedded nails, bolts or other metallic objects are, removed from the poles. The outer part of the pole, which may have been treated with preservatives, is then stripped away. Final ly, the inside wood - usually high-quality untreated cedar - is cut into a variety of widths and lengths. "Approximately 70 per cent of each pole is saved and manufactured into wood products such as 2x4s, 4x4s, siding, fencing and lumber for landscaping," said Ray Miller, president of B.C. Wood Recycling. "Our sawmill operation employs live people now and we may be expanding soon to keep up with the demand." Custom orders can also be arranged. The lumber is available for about 25 per cent less than prices at a retail lumber yard. B.C. Wood Recycling can be reached at 596-1906.

The eastern side was occupied by the "Matsqui" Indians. "Matsqui" is a derivative of the Indian word "Mathawhee", a place where the land rises above a low stretch. The Matsqui Indians spring from the tribe of the Halkomelem division, Cowichan group, of the Salish linguistic stock who lived in two villages - Mamkume where the present reserve is situated, and Okoaeuk on the south-west point of Sumas Lake. The village of Mamkume was pardy on the plateau and pardy on Matsqui Prairie. High water and mosquitoes drove the natives higher on to the plateau. They also hunted a great deal in the great forest on the plateau. On occasion hostile natives would come up the river to plunder the Matsqui Indians and to take slaves. This would force them to seek refuge in the great forest. Many Indian arrowheads and other artifacts have been found on almost every piece of land on the Plateau. Nathan (Beaver) Creek, Nicholson Creek, Mussellman Creek and Downcs Creek produced fresh trout for the natives on their hunts and refuge trips. Grouse and deer were plentiful — the reason for the loss of arrowheads. The Indians also caught sturgeon with nets made of cedar bark, and used pitch fires in their canoes and cedar nets to attract and snare wild ducks. My grandfather once told me of an old Indian named "Borcy" who told of seeing the .first white men "who had a lot of hair on their faces," referring to Simon Fraser and his men who passed by in their canoes (July 1, 1808). Old Borey lived to be 100 years, old. The Matsqui and Nooksack Indians were close friends and often intermarried. The Nook- sacks would come over in the fall and go with the Matsquis to Hatzic Island to spend die winter there, because the game and fish were more plentiful. The Plateau and ' the land across the river had old . growth cedar out of which they; made canoes and also built their houses. The Indians liked to camp on the Fraser River sandbars in order to escape the mosquitoes on Sumas Lake. They built platforms out in the water to keep away from them. During the 1850's and 1860's a very serious epidemic of small pox hit Uie Matsqui tribe; over 65 died of the disease, almost wiping out the native population. June morning This day won't keep; It can't be held on pause; This June morning gold leafed "around die edges by tlie rising sun; A precious book to write in 'ere the day is done. Birds are awakening the woods; A ruffling of feathers, full throated song; Spider webs dew jeweled hang in tlie grass beneadi my naked feet and butterflies on wavering wings, weave flight, where pink flowers hold up their nectar sweet.

Drivers who fall asleep at the wheel , are involved in 750 to 1,500 deaths a year, the New York Times reports. The safety board criticized federal and state regulations that allow truck drivers to have as few as eight hours between work shifts. Drivers in fatigue-related accidents had slept an average of 5.5 hours in their most recent sleep period.

"The Hangin' Out Project" won the prestigious Omer Girard Award for Outstanding Achievement in Community Programming. Hangin' Out was produced by Barbara Mitchell and directed by Jim Reis. Executive producers were Catharin Ackroyd and Peter Davison. The Hangin' Out Project was also the recipient earlier this year of the top award in B.C., the Province of British Columbia Award for Excellence in Community Programming. The Hangin' Out Project consists of 20 microprograms presenting the views of over 100 local teens, six documentaries portraying teens working through violence-related issues such as gangs, racism, drugs, leisure time, etc. Phone-in programs that followed two of the documentaries provided additional community input. The Project culminated with "Generation Why? Not Your Typical Youth Forum", a stage performance and audience-participation event, which under the guidance of Producer Barbara Mitchell was written, produced, publicized and performed with participation by over 400 teens from 17 local high schools. "We are especially delighted that the teens have decided to carry on the Community Programming Project as their very own" said Peter Davison, Program Manager, Surrey Studio, Rogers Cablesystems. "It's also gratifying to see that the youth magazine Wet Graffiti has been revived through additional teen input and corporate sponsorship and that other communities are developing their own positive teen productions as a result of our initiative." "56th Avenue" was awarded the National Magazine Category Award. 56th Avenue was produced by Steve Cropper and co- produced by Barb Lomax. This community interest program features magazine stories and pro- flies about the Langley community "Lest We Forget! Canadians in Normandy" received the National Documentary Award. Produced and directed by Jim Reis, executive producer was Catharin Ackroyd. Lest We Forget! Canadians in Nonnandy is a look at the D-Day invasion of 1944 through the eyes of Canadian participants, in particular the New Westminster Regiment. ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I was enjoying a nice glass of lemonade on one of the recent hot days here in sunny Aldergrove, and when I switched on the TV there was a commercial on about "good, old-fashioned" lemonade you can buy in a bottle or an instant mix. Just like the kind Granny used to make, they said. Later on there was another ad for iced tea which you can buy in a bottle for a dollar or two. Annabelle, why in heaven's name are people spending good money on factory-made lemonade and iced tea when anyone with half a brain and one good hand can make those things themselves for just a few pennies? Not only that, but you can be sure you're not getting a bunch of artificial flavorings, colorings, preservatives and what-have-you. Now, I'm well past 80 and bothered by arthritis but I can still squeeze a lemon or two on an old glass juicer, then add water and ice cubes and sugar to taste. It takes about three minutes, it's the real thing and you have a quart of lemonade for maybe 75 cents. Iced tea? Just make a mug of strong tea, add some lemon juice and sugar and water and ice and again you have the good old-fashioned thing for 35 cents or so. I swear, some of these "home- makers" today would die of thirst if they couldn't get to a supermarket, and they'd starve if the power went off and they couldn't use their electric can openers. Lord knows how they'd get through a hot spell if they ever lost the recipe for ice cubes. Some of the peddlers of food mixes also count on consumers with more money than brains. There's a biscuit mix that says all you have to add is shortening and milk. Annabelle, that means you're paying a fancy price for nothing more than flour with some baking powder and salt thrown in! I think too many modern consumers have had their heads addled with microwaves or rap music. They should smarten up and slow down. Just sign me: Old But Real. Dear Old, You've made me decide to think before I drink. By the way, I wonder how the world got on for so many centuries without sun- dried tomatoes? Dear Annabelle, I wrote you a few weeks ago about my husband who wasn't coming home until very late at night, and I told you I thought he was seeing another woman. You told me to hire a private detective to have him followed. But before I could do that, several days after I wrote you, he drove up to the house in a brand new mini van. Then he told me he had been working nights after office hours as a welder to make enough money to buy the car so I wouldn't have to depend on my neighbours to drive our kids to their various lessons (swimming, dancing, baseball, etc.). He is such a dear, and we are now getting on famously. So sorry to have bothered you. Signed: No Longer a Nervous Wreck. Dear No Longer, I am certainly happy that things have worked out so well for you. And just think - you didn't have to pay out any money for a P.I. Good on you, but better on your nice, caring husband. Dear Readers, Walking along the covered sidewalk at the Safeway mall tlie other day, I spied a new video shop just west of tlie liquor store. The store is called "Just New Releases" and the price is right. Staff are friendly and helpful and the selection of videos is large and up-to-date. Next time you have a craving for popcorn, stop in first at Just New Releases. p, i'£-.^;:::-f^-,v^ Fashion is calling ...you By INGE LANGMANN Shopping should be fun, and that is what 'Fashion Call" is all about. Friendly and knowledgeable assistance is what you will find in this new store. Fashion Call began as a home- based business in 1989. Owner Maryann Madore decided that it was time to work for herself. A year of road travel doing home shows and craft fairs developed into a retail store in New Westminster. They outgrew that in the first year and expanded into a larger store in 1994. The addition of novelty clothing and T-shirts outgrew the New Westminster store, so they crossed the bridge and came to the Langley Mall. Located in this newly renovated mall,_a bright and cheerful store is now celebrating the Grand Opening of Fashion Call this weekend. The customer will find over 3000 pairs of earrings to choose from including the exclusive line of "Banana Bob", and it doesn't matter if you have pierced ears or not, whatever pair you choose can be altered to either pierced or clip without charge right on the spot, it takes just a few minutes. They also have a big selection of hair accessories for long and short hair, scarves, belts and novelty pins, novelty T-shirts etc. If you are a collector of animal novelties, you can find something here that will thrill you, from cows, cats and elephants to celestial accessories and clodiing. Also featured in this unique store is the 50's memorabilia such as Betty Boop, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. "I've always wanted a store where I could help the customer co-ordinate accessories to their clothes" says Maryann, "and I always keep on hand 'hard to find merchandise' such as panty hose that fits, bracelets, turbans and so on. It took almost five years to accomplish, but this is it and it was worth every minute of it." Maryann goes on to point out that when a customer walks through the door, he or she becomes Uie most important person, deserving and receiving full attention and does not compete with loud music or the telephone. Maryann, who makes her home in Aldergrove, invites you to come in to Fashion Call and browse, and, during her grand opening this weekend, you choose your discount when you enter the store. r FAshioN CaU AT TriE LANqfcy MaH Here's tUe PIace to Shop (or Fashion Accessories & Gibs OVER 5000 pAIRS of EARRJNQS IO CHOOSE //?0/W - clipped or p'lERCEd COWS, CATS, MICE eIepUants, piqs, dolpU'ms & owls bANANA bobs choose youR discouiNT AT ThE doOR Up TO 10% Off p'lNS & T'Srl'lRTS Ua'ir extensions Ua'ir accessories (Ior sUort Ua'ir too) BAck TO THE 50'S MEMORAbU'lA: eIMs, JAMES dEAN, MARllyN MONROE, bETTV boop & ROCk & Roll NoveItv T'ShIrts Hours: MON-wed 9:70-5:70 tUurs-Iri 9:70-9:00 sat 9:70-7:70 sun 11:00-5:00 K 10} - 550/ - 204 s.r£_t, LANGLEY MALL 912*1020 J - '''— '■' ~ '■"■ Vr's^ts'w-fU.^yf-awt* >>»ss,»s..-ysWf _,!■■ aV.£..- ____*£__« 18 rt^js-.

Since 1988, this police-based program has been relying upon highly-trained volunteers to provide support to victims and witnesses of crime. Volunteers are trained to provide emotional support, information on police and court procedures, court accompaniment, and also offer referrals to various community agencies.Nonjudge- mental individuals possessing qualities of compassion and empathy, who would like to make a difference to those who have fallen victim of crime, may consider volunteering their time to the program. Victim support workers are expected to contribute a minimum of four hours of their time each week upon completion of the 60 hour formal training program. This volunteer opportunity is ideal for those with an interest in the legal system, criminology, psychology, or social services. Candidates must be 19 years of age or older in order to obtain an RCMP security clearance, and possess a valid BC driver's licence. The program is looking for people with time available'Monday to Friday from 9 am to 9 pm. People who are interested in expanding their volunteer work to include crisis intervention will also need to be available some evenings and weekends. Three orientation sessions will be held during the summer in preparation for a fall training program. Orientation dates are scheduled for July 18, August 29, and September 13 at 7 pm. If you would like to learn more about this exciting volunteer opportunity, call Maureen to register al 532-3214. B& LANGLEY LEGAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE HAS MOVED.

The action follows complaints from municipalities over the operation of privately owned facilities, which handle demolition, land- clearing and construction debris. The Ministry of Environment has also asked the GVRD to make arrangements for regulating the private operations. At present the GVRD, with its member municipalities, has direct control over the residential waste stream which accounts for about 30 per cent of the total waste generated in the region. Demolition, landclearing and construction waste accounts for about 35 per cent of the total waste stream with the material collected, transported and disposed of by the private sector. It is currently regulated by the province. According to a report to the GVRD board, a number of purported recycling operations charged a fee for accepting material which was "subsequently abandoned or caught fire resulting in considerable environmental degradation and cleanup costs for host municipalities or property owners." The GVRD will levy fees on operators of private facilities and waste haulers to recover the costs of issuing licences, monitoring and enforcing the regulatory system. Big earthquake could make disaster area of Greater Vancouver BURNABY - GVRD directors approved funds for a co-ordinated emergency planning program after being told that a relatively minor earthquake could devastate the area. A report submitted to the GVRD board said that co-ordination between provincial ministries and municipalities, which would be essential in a major emergency, '1s effectively absent." The report says that one extensive evaluation determined that a quake of 6.5 on the Richter scale, centred on tlie Strait of Georgia, would: • cause over 200 deaths and about 800 serious injuries • result in $12-to $22-billion in direct damage to buildings and contents • cause widespread interruption to utilities •create major flooding as a result of dam and dyke failures • create the potential for major fires, which would be difficult or impossible to control because of disruptions to water systems • extensively damage highways, bridges and overpasses making many routes unusable until repairs are made • cause total economic loss of $14- to $32-billion of which" only"' $7- to $13-billion would be covered by insurance. The report was prepared by a group of senior local government administrators including Ken Dobell, city of Vancouver manager (Chair), Mel Palmer, district of North Vancouver manager, Norm Cook, city of Coquidam manager, and Ben Marr, GVRD regional manager. While emergency programs in the region have improved in recent years they still remain inadequate and unco-ordinated, says the report Dams, bridges and utility systems require upgrading; communications systems and secure emergency facilities must be established; emergency response personnel and the community at large must be trained and equipped to function in an emergency. "Emergency communication systems are typically incompatible among municipalities," said the report. "For example, while mutual aid agreements are in place for fire fighting resources, fire apparatus radios from adjacent municipalities usually cannot communicate." A 1993 review showed that only 10 per cent of provincial bridges met current earthquake codes. Few local bridges have been upgraded. Most would suffer considerable damage and would be unusable. In a major quake it could take years to restore transportation capacity to normal levels. There is no co-ordinated plan for the movement of people to shelters or for the distribution of critical resources like food and water. A paper by scientists at the Pacific Geoscience Centre in Sidney is quoted as saying, 'If such an earthquake occurred, it would likely be the largest economic and social catastrophe due to nature ever to affect Canada." In addition to earthquakes there is potential disaster in the region from major flooding within the Fraser River floodplain where 250,000 people live, and from large toxic and hazardous chemical spills. The GVRD board approved $65,000 to get the emergency planning co-ordination service started this year. Gates sweet talks retailers into net By ROBERT MELYNCHUK VANCOUVER - While most of us are doing our chores such as mowing the lawn, shopping, and pulling weeds on Saturday, you won't find Bill Gates doing that. The founder of the Microsoft, Job fair in Chilliwack in the fall CHILLIWACK - A new name and a new focus for the annual Career Fair in the upper and central Fraser Valley will greet students and job seekers this fall. Job Fair '95, to be held November 8 in Chilliwack, replaces the Career Fair-Destiny name used the past three years in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. 'The major focus will be for secondary school students - grades 9 -12 - in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Agassiz and Hope, but it will also be open to the general public" said Mel Folk- man, assistant-superintendent of the Chilliwack School District and co-chair of the Job Fair organizing committee. Co-chair, Cal Purcell, with Sprott-Shaw College of Business in Chilliwack, said, "It is going to assist anyone who is thinking about changing his/her career, getting into a different career, or currently a displaced worker." The event will run from 9 am to 9 pm November 8, with free admission, in Chilliwack's Ag- Rec Centre. Attending will be representatives from technical . institutions, trade and training schools, industries and companies located in the Fraser Valley. Attendees will find "information on what it's like out there in the job market today, and what they can possibly look forward to and focus on for the future" said Purcell. With the focus on jobs rather than careers, Folkman pointed out, people coming to the Job Fair will get "Answers about jobs... they'll be able to communicate first hand with employers. It will be an excellent opportunity for looking (for employment and training)." Another element of the Job Fair will be mini-sessions with professionals, industry and company representatives throughout die day. Held in Abbotsford last year, and Chilliwack tlie previous two years, "Job Fair '95" is a joint effort of the Chilliwack School District, the University College of the Fraser Valley, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce and other community partners throughout the Valley. Participants include the Abbotsford, Mission, Agassiz- Harrison, Hope and Chilliwack School Districts. Industries of businesses interested in profiling themselves to prospective employees at Job Fair '95 can contact Roy McLoughlin at 792- 0137 (fax 858-0157) for further details. Gates is in Vancouver at an International Retailers Convention giving them his best reasons why they should jump onto Microsoft's network. Why, you ask? Because you, along with the rest of the world, will one day be doing all your personal and business activities through the Internet. Retailers will provide the consumer with the best selection of products, at the best price, all through the home computer. Already, Microsoft will bundle their Internet with the '95 Windows version. The monthly service charge will be around $5 to start. However, I do have concerns on how families will ever be able to afford all this. And I won- '&sl$%t& *#y der how the children will compete without having the latest computer and Internet skills. Also, only about 25 percent of the Internet users arc women. So, I asked Gates if he had any thoughts about that. Gates said, 'The Internet is still very young." I suppose Gates is right in that time will sort out most of the inequities that we recognize at the beginning. I think (hat Gates really does find it intellectually stimulating to talk to as many people as he can. If you have a question to ask him at a meeting, you have a good chance of meeting him. And Gates still takes commercially scheduled airlines and waits like everyone else in line. Brothers, Big Sister^ A not-for-profit organization that needs your help!
