Mark, whose 73 year-old father Edward Allam was viciously stomped to death by Perrault in 1991 said that tlie punishments handed down to senior officials responsible for Perrault's transfer and escape were a slap on the wrist. "A $5,000 reduction in pay, or a slight demotion, meaning less work, is hardly acceptable," she said. "There should have been a lot of action taken against the people who put him in a juvenile institution although he was already and adult, and then transferred him to an open facility, disregarding reports of his violent behaviour and attempted escapes." "At Hew Haven they made made their own rules regarding day. passes and issued them when they shouldn't have been issued"' she said. "They totally ^ignored Perrault's violent history even though they had it in front of them." Perrault, who has a very violent history,escaped from New Haven after being there only 10 days, and beat and raped a Surrey woman while at large. Mark also says that Gordon Hogg, former director at Willingdon, who approved Perrault's transfer, should take total responsibility for his actions, and receive more than a slight demotion. Hogg has accepted responsibility for his part in Perrault's transfer last Wednesday. "The police did their job," said Mark. "They used their time, effort and money to catch a killer and tlie justice system put him in a juvenile detention centre, even though he was an adult at the time of his crimes. Kids like him ' get everything they want at Willingdon, actually having a better life there than on the street. They have access to drugs... everything." "The justice system dsoesn't take into account the public's safety. All they (the justice system) see is criminal rights. The public and victims don't have any rights."

As a pathologist on contract with Langley Memorial Hospital, he is well aware of regionalization and how it works. He says that the idea is excellent, but it is being overdone. ■ "The Lower Mainland doesn't need more regions," he said. "It's already one of many existing regions that doesn't need further dividing." His major concern with the provincial government's New Directions Health Plants that it will not allow for'Cportability within the area, which would limit people's choice of doctors and therefore specialists, which is an infringement upon basic human rights. For example, if a person lives in New Westminster then it follows that they should see a doctor there, even if they just moved from the North Shore and have been seeing their doctor there for 20 years. It also follows that should they need referral to a specialist or surgeon, dien they will be referred to one in New Westminster as well, who will be working out of tlie hospital there. Muir also worries about the start up of the program. It will be difficult for some area? to get enough funding because they currently don't have the facilities to perform all the operations that they may need to. Instead of sending people to to other hospitals for special treatments, they will now need the facilities to perforin them themselves, meaning they have to get all the expensive equipment, making it difficult to stay within budget. Also, areas within the lower mainland will be competing for a limited amount of funds to be allocated by regional boards which may or may not have the experience to operate with such a large budget and responsibility. He also worries about political interference in health care. The budget for Langley is estimated to be around $60 million, which is to be delegated by the board. However, on tlie board there will be political'appointees from both die provincial and municipal lev- WALTER J.

"The government, in this process has tried to exclude the very people who know the system die best," he said. "The public should be made aware that this is what we are being confronted with." "it's just passing off the responsibility of health care. The federal government promised universal health care for it's citizens and then transferred responsibility for it to the provinces. The province now is U*ansferring it to the municipalities, who will get the blame when diey can't operate within their budget."

From front... recommended diat die CFS Aldergrove lands be inrluded'-SP* die province's new Protected Area Strategy. While die provincial government has asked regional districts and municipalities to submit "wish lists" of ecologically-sensitive lands for consideration, none of Langley township council or staff were aware diat die GVRD board had submitted die suggestion of CFS Aldergrove to die province. "What?" said township mayor John Scholtens, when The Star told him on Monday evening after council meeting. "That's so typical.of die GVRD; they don't "tell us anything." Scholtens criticized the design of the. GVRD committees, noting that Langley city mayor Marlene Grinnell is on .the GVRD agriculture committee and city councilor Gayle Martin is on die GVRD parks committee, yet neither agriculture nor GVRD parks exist in Langley city. The Star tracked down GVRD parks committee member, Langley city councilor Gayle Martin, who expressed surprise at the news as well. "This nlver came up before die parks committee," she said, promising to investigate the matter at die GVRE) and call back. She called back a few minutes later and said that GVRD parks head, Rick Hankin didn't know much about it either, other than it had been a suggestion from a couple, of parks employees "acting on a suggesdon in a letter from a Mr. Kistrick. It was a staff report to die board, from the development services department, and never came before parks committee." Martin was adamant that, "This by no means is an effort to have die land set aside for a regional park, but a suggestion to evaluate it for its potential as a Fraser Valley lowlands ecosystem. There are also a couple of headwaters widiin the more than a thousand acres of publicly owned land." However, Martin was also defensive about any perception that the GVRD was attempting an "en- drun" around local government and officials. She said she:':was aware that die local MP and township council were opposed to any subdivision of the land and that they favored the university proposal. The province's Protected Area Strategy will grant municipal or regional authority to secure and preserve approved site^s. The GVRD has suggested it be sold Crown land for $1 because municipal and regional governments cannot afford to buy lands in urban areas at market rates. White has been asking diat the federal government sell the CFS Aldergrove lands to the province for $1' provided it's used as a university site. Jack Robertson, president of the Western Canada Summer Games Society, places the Queen's Baton into its cradle during the opening ceremonies in Matsqui, Saturday. -Tim Attwood photo Baton travels here enroute to Commonwealth Games MATSQUI - The Queen's Baton for the Commonwealth Games has probably been to more places diari die queen herself The sterling silver, carved baton containing the message from Queen Elizabedi to be read at die opening ceremonies of the XV commonwealdi games in Victoria on August 18, has finally arrived in die Fraser Villey. It was relayed by 67 runners from the corner of McDermott Road and North Parallel Road through Abbotsford and Matsqui to Rotary Stadium for the opening ceremonies of an international track meet. The baton represents the artistic and cultural collaboration of aboriginal artists from Vancouver Island:The Coast Salish, who are hosting the games, the Nuu'chah'nuldi, and the Kwagiulth. It expounds on the native belief that die homeland represents a place of contact between the natural and supernatural worlds, and is a place of change and transformation. They believe that people can become separated from their souls because of accidents, sickness or stress. When this happens a shaman is found to look for the lost soul and once recovered, it is placed in a temporary soul catcher. By blowing on one end of the soul catcher the shaman returns the soul essence to the person, making them whole again. The baton is designed to represent a soul catcher, -yfyf It began its journey in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace and has travelled across four continents. It has been recognised in ceremonies in many Commonwealth countries including Kenya, India, Jamaica, Australia, and Malaysia. In Canada the baton has been celebrated in Ottawa, Halifax, Montreal, Saskatoon, Whitehorse and Iqaluit;as well as odier cities on its way to the Games.

THE fflffEBGRTJVE STA^^r^ysg^g^sfflf' A problem which won't go away 'Tis die silly season for Vancouver politics again as city fadiers there wrestle with the problem of what to do about the city's prostitute dilemma. Residents of the Mount Pleasant neighborhood have had enough of the sex trade being plied in their area. And rightly so. Hookers line the streets'.along' East Broadway all day as their customers cruise the streets, often propositioning area women who are far from being working girls. Youngsters find used condoms and intravenous drug paraphernalia littering school yards. Sadly, all Mayor Philip Owen's council seems to want to do is attempt to move the sex trade once again. In the early 'eighties, the trade was centred in the city's West End, on Davie Street and in (lie surrounding area. Then-mayor Mike Harcourt decreed it -should be moved. With support from the Shame the Johns group, hookers were pushed out into YdetOwn which bordered the old Expo site along False Creek. With the coming of Expo and former' mayor Gordon Campbell also came development in Yaletown. Aldiough some prostitution remains in die area, the sex trade moved once again, this time to Mount Pleasant. It's time Vmcouver dealt with the fact it has become a big city and diat prostitution is allied the world's oldest profession for a reason. Instead of shuffling the hookers about the city, it's time' the city studied what other metropolises have done- - dealt widi the problem realistically. Amsterdam has its . brothels. Paris has regular, mandated mondily medical inspections for hookers. Instead of causing grief in one neighborhood after another, Vancouver council should get away from politics masquerading as piety and deal with the situation through bylaws. Define its areas of trade, set up brothels, regulate the industry so it is no longer a problem. Oddly enough, however, one of die men who did prostitute shuffling, the present premier of B.C., has now advocated a "safe walk zone" for hookers. Ironically, he is also die MLA for Mount Pleasant. -Dawson Creek Daily News LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Change is coming... §Death is not the only answer Editor, The Star, Sir, In Langley, we have a saying "It's nice to live in Langley". And one of the reasons for Langley's quality of life has been relatively easy access to quality health care. But change is coming, in the form of regionalization, which may not be so good for your health care if you live in Langley - or in the rest of BC for that matter! jp^ What does "regionalize" mean? Starting in October, BC is to be divided into 21 separate health regions. Each region will dien be given its own separate budget to provide healdi care to diose who live in die region. Big thanks to helpers "Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of die Bertrand Creek Enhancement Committee and Langley Environmental Partners Society, I would like to thank all the volunteers who came out for the stream cleanup on July 15- There were close to 50 people who showed up to pull garbage and other debris out of Bertrand Creek. It was wonderful to see so many Aldergrove residents joining together to help clean up their creek! With continued community involvement we hope to restore Bertrand Creek to provide habitat for fish (including the Coho, Steelhead and Cutthroat Trout that make their home in Bertrand) and wildlife, and improve scenic beauty and recreational opportunities for Aldergrove residents. . We did some important work on July 15, but much remains to be done. If you and your family would like to help out, we will be meeting on the following dates to clean up Bertrand Creek: Sunday, August 14, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Meet at Ministry of Social Services Building (Fraser Hwy and 273 Street). Thursday, August 18, 6 pm to 8 pm. Meet at Bertrand Creek . Estates (27044 32 Ave.) on die creek. Sunday, August 21, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Meet at the Aldergrove Mall. ■ Hoja&to see you there! S£Sk^ES!_I^>.^vvvs.^ What evidence is there that this plan of action may not be good for your health, you ask? One of the answers can be found in an internal memo from the President of Vincouver General Hospital to diat hospital's medical staff. The memo spells out how that hospital' will solve the problem of too little money. "...The principal strategy we will use to manage our activity levels (.and dierefore our costs) is to reduce die level of secondary services diat we provide to non-residents of Vancouver". In other words, if you don't live in Vancouver and you need health care services which are available in odier hospitals, VGH expects you to go to those other hospitals. Is this way of saving money simply the "tip of-the iceberg"? It most certainly could be, as most hospitals diroughout die province, like VGH, have not received enough money to do die job required of diem. Must they too end up trying to turn away diose who don't live in their region? What happens if your region is short of funds? When health care is short of funds, die result is always die same - die patient waits longer. But why take my word? Those of us in Langley who question die wisdom of regionalizing health care are not alone. A recent column in the Vincovuer Sun cites growing concerns from areas as far apart as Richmond and Nelson, Cranbrook and Chilliwack. Around the province those who understand die plans for regionalization are calling at least for a slow-down. People in the know are suggesting that regionalization plans should be tested more carefully before risking our healdi care system and our healdi. Odier countries have tried regionalization and haven't been able to solve the problem of sharing services across regional boundaries. We need to iron out diese very obvious problems before we jeopardize our entire system - a system once touted as one of the best in die world. Let's make sure we can continue to say "It's nice to live in Langley". I-pJRa-R. M»HR,<^l,.p. VVVW*Vs,V __sd^P|8^^\.xvsrv\sVVkVAX\st?tt Editor, The Star, Sir, Until March of this year, I was dying from Lou Gehrigs's disease (ALS). ALS is a degenerative, fatal disorder with no medically acknowledged cause or cure. For those not wishing to live on a ventilator and feeding tube, 50% die within two years, 90% within five. From the time I was first diagnosed in November 1990, I'd tried virtually every alternative healing dierapy available. I'd also participated in two FDA-sponsored drug trials (Verapamil and CNTF) dirough die University of Colorado Healdi Sciences center. By February, I was in palliative Care in residence at the Porter Hospice in Denver. Since I'd decided I didn't want to use a ventilator and feeding tube, I was waiting for the disease to run its course. In March, I learned of and began a therapy diat saved my life. As I mentioned, ALS has no medically acknowledged cause or cure; yet since March, I've regained sensations in my legs, regained girth in my arms and shoulders, and regained weight. I'm getting stronger every day. The therapy I'm under is metabolic in nature. It presumes die body can heal itself if given and made to assimilate the necessary, natural ingredients. The protocol consists of a highly regulated diet, plus oral and injected vitamins, minerals, and enzyme supplements. No physician I know of has ever prescribed metabolic therapy. That may be because none of diese supplements currently re-. quire a prescription. It may be because no pharmaceutical company currendy manufactures these supplements. Whatever the reason, neidier die ALS B.C. won't "roll over" Editor, The Star, Sir, I am disappointed diat Canada and die US were unable to reach an agreement for the 1994 fishing, season. This leaves us in die unfortunate position of having no bilaterally agreed fishing plan for 1994. However, I want to re-emphasize diat tliefs^is and will be no agreement to roll over die 1993 fishing plan for die 1994 season. News reports incorrecdy stated that Canada had agreed to rollover the 1993 fishing plan and that Canada would not reintroduce other non-fishing measures. These kind of inaccurate representations of the discussions between Canada and the U.S. in fact hinder the resolution of die urgent issues involved in the management of Pacific salmon stocks. I fully support the objectives of Canada's fishing plan for 1994 diat will: • meet escapement targets and thereby ensure conservation of our stocks; • meet aboriginal allocation requirements; • address the domestic alloca- ,. tion-whetwe^n, B. C^JSgr^WWP§;. maximum benefit in catching Canadian fish; and, • minimize the by-catch of southern British Columbia Chinook and coho stocks. Canada's 1994 fishing plan also accommodates die requirement to protect weak US and Canadian stocks of coho and chinook on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Regrettably, we have yef to see similar accommodation by die U.S. of our conservation concerns for northern coho and steelhead in the Soudieast Alaska fishery. I urge the U.S. to match Canada's conservation actions on weaker stocks of coho and chinook. We are well into the 1994 fishing season now and I believe it's absolutely crucial for bodi parties to ensure diat negotiations result in fishing plans diat address our conservation needs, our commitments to aboriginal fisheries and a fair catch sharing arrangement. British Columbia regrets that the U..S. did not bring sufficient commitment to the negotiating table to meet our pressing needs on conservation and equity. DAVID ZIRNHELT, MLA,. , .V%^xS^Cfo^AVVV)___0__Vi-V"' Association nor the MDA are interested in this dierapy because no physician is involved; yet, the medical community still claims there's no cause or cure. What I find frightening is Congress' willingness to restrict and regulate our access to diese supplements. I worry about how far the AMA, FDA, Pharmaceutical Lobby (and hence Congress) are. willing to go "to insure our welfare". Do you still wonder why you haven't heard of this therapy? I learned about this therapy through pure, dumb luck. It's scary for me to think how close I came to dying. If it weren't for my modier's dentist's receptionist's friend's husband whose ALS was healed by this dierapy,... It shouldn't have to happen that way. ALS can be healed in spite of physician assistance. CARL I.

'.■ NAME YOUR OWN LANGLEY - A crowd of over 200 skateboard enthusiasts joined township mayor Jolin Scholtens and parks and recreation commission chairman Audrey Wright on Wednesday for }M\p official opening of Langley's fust outdoor skateboard park. The design of die park, which is .located on 203 Street at 63 Avenue, is the result of a unique partnership between area youth and die townships's parks and recreation services division. As Fort Langley teen Anton Crnkovic noted, "We've needed a skateboard park in Langley for a long time and it's great to see it finally here. Skating on the streets, at the malls, and in parking lots just doesn't cut it" Anton said that he and a group of friends fomied an ad hoc committee in 1992 diat met widi township staff for a period of 18 months to refine, their vision for a skateboard park and to solicit public and political support for its construction. One of the . group's first steps was to approach the township's parks and recreation commission to solicit their support. Wright said that die group's presentation was "among the most sincere and- enthusiastic presentations we've ever heard on the commission" and diat she "was delighted when council lent their support to die project." Scholtens commented that "the park has largely been designed by its intended users" and that "the skateboarders of Langley played an important role in helping to design.it." This was accomplished through a series of focus group meetings and open houses that enabled the teens to critique die park's design as it was developed. "Widiout the input of the skateboarders themselves," Scholtens said, "we might have ended up with a bowl, something the skateboarders told us would not be used." The mayor further noted that "while there may be skateboard parks around in other municipalities, Langley's is the first that's been built to accommodate street elements such as curbs, platforms, and banks." The construction of the park cost $80,000 and was funded by the township with assistance from the Langley Sunrise and Langley Central Rotary clubs. "Getting community support for die project was important," said Anton, "so we approached a number of service clubs diroughout die township to tell diem about our needs and to ask for their assistance. It was great to see die two Rotary clubs come dirough widi dieir donations." The park is now open for use and has already attracted skateboarders from all areas of Langley. Future additions may include benches and lighting to extend its hours of Use into die evening. Admission to die park is free. flail Soccer tryouts ABBOTSFORD - Tryout camps for the University College of the Fraser Valley men's and women's soccer teams open on August 15.

"The kids really enjoy being at camp and participating in the outdoor activities," says Vivian Doyle-Kelly, national president of the Kidney Foundation. "Wliedier they spend the morning swimming, kayaking or making crafts, time-out for dialysis is not so bad because diey can get right back into activities as soon as their treatment is over."

AUGUST 10. 1994 Aldergrove wins silver at provincials ALDERGROVE - Aldergrove PeeWee Allstars played the game of a life-time in the semi-final against Sicamous to make it to die final in the BCMBA PeeWee AA Provincial championship, August 1 in Port Coquidam. The boys dug deep to give it everydiing diey had but could not find die breaks as diey faced host team Poco in. die final. The day started off early with a morning game against Sicamous, a game diat none of us will be likely to forget. This was the game to decide who would go on the die j championship final, fn the field next to us Port Coquitlam was battling it out with West Riclimond for die same honor. Starting pitcher for Aldergrove was Justin MacDonald, and for die first time in four weeks the opposing team, was able to get die jump on him, being the first to bring in a run, two in fact. Sicamous went on to shut down our first three batters, putting Aldergrove behind for the first time in diis series. Sicamous was unable to improve on their score in the second, while Jeff Herd brought home Aldergrove's first run, taking first on balls and stealing around to home. Sicamous picked up another two runs in the third, bringing dieir count to four. Aldergrove was again held to a .single, as Mike Haber came in off a single by Steve Fauth. Taking over the mound in the fourth, and for the next three innings, was Jeff Herd. This marked the end of Sicamous1 scoring chartces while Aldergrove continued to chip away at their defense. As first to bat at the bottom of the fourth, Justin hit a single, advanced two bases on a single by Paul Daley, and came home on a sacrifice hit by Wes Halliday. Aldergrove's tying run came at the bottom of die fifth from Marc Windle, who hit a single, stole second, made diird on a single by Steve, and stole, home on a wild pitch. At this point the game became deadlocked at 4-4 with neither team able to gain an advantage. After a scoreless sixth inning, Frank Cole took over the mound for Aldergrove in the seventh and threw strikes, letting the fielders take care of the hits. A lone ninner for Sicamous, attempting to come in on a wild pitch, found himself caught in the hot box between Frank and catcher Jeff Herd for the third out. Aldergrove fared no better when it came their turn to bat and die game was forced into an overtime eighdi inning. By this time the Poco/West Richmond game was over and both teams lined the fence, to watch die outcome of ours. Frank was back on the mound for Aldergrove, still looking cool - No Fear. The first batter gets a base hit and steals second. The next up to bat hits to short but while he can't beat Steve's throw to first, he advances his team mate to diird. Frank strikes out batter number diree and batter number four hits a foul fly to Justin's glove on first. Bottom of the eighth and it's Aldergrove's turn to bat. Our first up is struck out. Justin, up next, takes the count to full before getting a walk. Paul Daley works die pitcher allowing Justin to steal second. While Paul continues to work the pitcher, the pitcher"" works the spectators, and Justin- takes third on a wild pitch.

Aldergrove came up against a wall when they came up against Poco. Poco was hitting and finding the holes. Aldergrove was hitting but not getting the runs in. Our pitchers were frustrated by the Poco umpires in not finding the elusive strike zone, yet it was there for our batters. Justin, pitching first for Aldergrove, had one run come in during die first inning, dien four more in the second. Aldergrove was shut down. Anodier four runs came in for Poco against Frank, pitching die diird-inning. Again Aldergrove was kept from scoring. Jeff took the mound in the fourth against an impossible score of 9-0. He was able to shut diem down, taking two at the plate. Frank Cole caught die diird out at first. Aldergrove finally got on die board at the bottom of die fourth with Jeff hitting a single, stealing to diird and coming home on a hit by Justin. Justin stole second and made diird as Dallas Strelic ground out to short. Wes Halliday brought him in but was unable to beat die tlirow to first for the second out. Our fifth batter went down swinging. Jeff shut Poco down again in the fifth, striking out two, and Frank, on first took the last. But neidier was Aldergrove able to improve on their nins. A nice double play by Pau Daley early in the sixth, as he anight a fly to second and got die bafl to Frank at first before the runner could get back, took care of two. But Poco was able.to get dieir tenth run in on a failed pick- off attempt at third base before Aldergrove could get die dihxl out. The first two Poco batters in the seventh were caught out by shortstop Steve Fauth and Jeff took die third at the plate. Aldergrove saw their last chance at scoring disappear as Frank was held at first after hitting a single, to watch die next two batters for Aldergrove strike out ancl the fourth ground out to first. Thus ended the game 10-2 for Port Coquitlam - a disappointing end to an otherwise spectacular season.

The lightning struck out of nowhere, according to witnesses, killing 19-year-old Matt Kroll, centre field for Calgary, instantly and sending 23 other people to hospital. None of the Chiefs, who were up to bat'at die time, were seriously injured and all were released from hospital after a brief examination. According to Calgary assistant coach and police Sergeant, Rod Jarvis, Kroll probably didn't even know what hit him. By the time he ran on to the field Kroll showed no signs of life, even after CPR was started. "His hat was completely shredded. He was burned," Jarvis said. The team was playing in the first round of the week-long tournament which would determine who would represent Canada at the Big League Baseball World Series in Florida later this month. They had just returned to the field after a 10 minute rain delay, aldiough it was windy and the clouds were low ancl dark. Witnesses say diat diere had been no thunder or lightning until that one fatal bolt. The Chiefs have won die national championship for die last diree years and were favourites to win again this year. As yet it hasn't been decided when the games will continue but team manager Dennis Springenat ic said diat they will play on to defend their title. The storm intensified during die afternoon and the Hamilton weather office issued a severe diunderstorm watch warning. Fighting the dangerous diet fad "" '~ a big problem here; as It usually starts to lose a little KIMBERLEY - out as a quest weight. A few pounds turn into a few more, until thin never seems to lie quite thin enough. Eating disorders have taken society by storm, as a slim body holds the promise of popularity and success. This applies not just to the Karen Carpenters of the world, but to you, me and die girl next door. "Dieting is our answer for everything," says Ellen Dearden, coordinator of the East Kootenay Eating Disorder Clinic. "The fashion industry and the advertising industry picks a certain body type or look and they say, 'diis is how you're supposed to lie'." Figures for B.C. show diat one of every 100 people suffers from some kind of eating disorder, such as bulimia, anorexia or binge-eating. "It is much as it is in the big city," Dearden says. "It's prevalent here, but it's a problem that still is very much hidden." Young women are most susceptible to eating disorders, widi as many as one in 10 college students suffering from anorexia, bulimia or binge-eating. "Twenty percent of people widi anorexia die, a result of either sudden cardiac arrest and half due to suicide," says Dearden. "It has to be made clear diat diis is a very serious illness diat can result in deadi." Dearden believes dieting is one of die big culprits. "Personally, I diink most eating disorders start with dieting," says die eating-disorder specialist. "Diets do not work and to diet to maintain a certain body image.is to set yourself up for a potential eating disorder."

OFFER GOOD TELL AUGUST 28 IIIIIIB 27028 Fraser Hwy., Aldergrove 856-7500 Y^..n-Y^Y"Yn A scene from UCFV's last season, Good Night Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet. -Rick Mawson photo Classic season of theatre for UCFV 15th anniversary starts with Wilde comedy CHILLIWACK - UCFV Theatre Department head Ian Fenwick, has chosen a season of diree classic productions to celebrate die fifteenth anniversary of the department's existence. The 1994/95 season consists of a great English comedy, an acknowledged Canadian masterpiece ancl a remount of one of Shakespeare's most magical, ro- jnantic actions. Tlie opening pnxluction of the season will be Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners The Importance Of Being Earnest. The department takes particular pleasure in celebrating the 100th anniversary of this witty, light hearted whirl of circumstance, in which the pretensions and affectations prevalent in human relationships are mercilessly lampooned by die master of refined satire. The Importance Of Being Earnest will run November 9 to 26 in the Studio.Theatre. -The second production of the season will be James W. Nichol's compelling adaptation of The Stone Angel, the classic Canadian novel by Margaret Laurence. The play tells the uncompromising story of Hagar Shipley - as seen through her own eyes at the age of ninety. Her reflections on her past emerge as a series of vigorously etched portraits from her life as a young girl in a bleak prairie town, to an old woman armoured by her_steely humour - still isolated by her pride and self reliance. The Stone Angel will run January 18 to February 4 in the Studio Theatre. The department's Shakespeare '95 production will feature a welcome return to our repertoire of Shakespeare's magical comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. Last seen by sold out audiences during die winter of 1982, "Dream" is a fragrant potpourri of love, laughter and enchantment, that explores die arbitrary and ridiculous nature of romantic,infatuation. It's a trae classic, in which fairy and mortal worlds collide with hilarious consequences. A Midsummer Night's Dream will run March 1 to 11 in the Chilliwack Ails Centre. In addition to these tliree major productions the department will also offer a series of lectures, workshops, tours, and presentations. These include: an entertaining journey down memory lane, as we present four evenings of highlights from past LI.C.F.V. productions April 26, 27, 28, and 29. The April 29 evening will feature a special gala dinner and reception in addition to the performance. The Vancouver Theatre Sports League will be in town with their ever popular comedy performance Friday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. and special lectures on the department's productions will be offered at the Chilliwack Public Library on Tuesday, Oct. 4 and Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. Also, the departnient will once again be offering a study tour to the world famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival. This event will take place during July of 1995. Season ticket packages including all three main productions are now on sale at a special reduced rate. For information on any of the events mentioned above, call 795-2814 or 853-7441, local 2492.

The highways ministry and Langley township have agreed to share the cost of a pedestrian signal at Fraser Highway and 273 Street, j Aggressive local lobbying has resulted in a recommendation from die highways ministry that die lights be installed diis year. The cost is $56,000, which by law must be shared equally by die ministry and township. Since the township has not set aside $28,000 for die work in its 1994 budget, die ministry has agreed to proceed with the work and await the township's share from die January 1995 township budget. The township's traffic advisory committee has cited a history of problems with the pedestrian crossing diere and a highways ministry study has confirmed, "diere were a sufficient umber of pedestrians crossing at this location to warrant protecting the existing crosswalk with a pedestrian operated traffic signal." The work is to commence upon ministry receipt of die township's approval of the cost- sharing. Big space show here ALDERGROVE - One big space show has just wrapped up widi the debris of a comet smashing into Jupiter, but more comet fragments are headed Earth's way diis week.

Watching starts at 8 p.m. and wraps up at midnight; for information call the society at 73.8-2855. The. Perseid meteors are made up of the dust left behind by comet Swift-Tuttle on its travels around die sun. The Earth travels dirough die dust belt every August, capturing and incinerating the dust in our atmosphere. As die comet recently traveled dirough diere is a fresh supply of material, which means a more dramatic show could be seen this year. The meteor shower began Tuesday and continues to Sunday.

AUGUST 10. 1994 YOUR VOICE And which films were the big stinkers? By LARA BROD-IE and LOIS BRONK Now that we know what movies you would recommend, we thought we'd enquire as to what movies/videos you would recommend that people should avoid, and why? I would like to suggest Neil Simon's "Murder By Death" with Peter Sellers, only thing is that I sort of liked it. Then there's "Ed and His Dead Mother." Why someone suggested making this flick is beyond me, why Ned Beatty agreed to be in it is even farther beyond. Although it almost manages to capture its own entertainment niche, I would suggest to all of you that if you feel the need to see it please ask yourself why. Mind you, die guy who portrays Ed is rather cute. Your suggestions were... Kama Bhatti, 16: "Beverly Hillbillies," it sucks, it's totally overrated, it's not even funny. There's nothing funny about it, it's totally like an old folk movie, ^m Rick Otteson, 17: I don't think "Jurassic Park" was a good movie because it seemed so fake to me and it's overrated, the dinosaurs don't even look real...when I was watching it I got scared so I don't like that movie. Jessica Stokes, 10 with sister Michelle, 4: "The return of Jafar" wasn't as good as the first one, "Aladdin."...the voices weren't the same and their attitudes and their acting weren't tlie same at all. It just wasn't as good. Terra Lynn Richardson, 12 and Noel Pilon, 9: "The Return of Jafar" is really boring. ...It had nothing really interesting in it. ...Ya, it was kind of stupid. Isabelle Koroscil: I don't think anybody should watch "The Exorcist" just because I think it's evil and possessed. Llamas can offer an investment bonanza WHITE ROCK - Llamas have gone.from being a symbol of disposable wealth to an investor's dream. Since the _9tt()s, llama sales have soared. Prices for llamas are appreciating faster than the Hong Kong real estate market. Investment return is as much as 30 per cent.. Canada has approximately 3,000 of North America's more than 30,000 llamas. Demand for these animals far outstrips supply, driving prices sky-high. Prices double in five years, bidding this year's top male to nearly $'65,000. Prices for the coveted "females aren't far behind. Llama breeding has gained in popularity in the past ten years, with quality animals selling at average prices of $20,000 for a young stud male and between $18-20,000 for breeding females. Stud fees for champion llamas may am as high as $3,600. In Western Canada alone there are over 250 breeders. The llama market is expected to continue its upward trend for 10 to 20 years. Domestic prices have risen continuously since Agriculture Canada banned imports of live animals in 1991. Contemporary North American llamas are bred and raised for packing, wool production, cart pulling, animal-facilitated therapy, companion animals, exhibition in shows, and guardians of livestock. Because the demand for these animals is so high, auctions are held, frequently. The West Coast Fall ' Classic '94 will be held September 9-11 in White Rock.

Members of Cameron Dance Academy took pail in the first annual talent search held at Agrifair Everyone a winner, but some more than others By MARK RUSHTON MATSQUI - From virtually every perspective, Agrifair was a winner. However, some of us were more "winners" than others. A large part of Agrifair this year was the prize list for lucky attendees. First among them was Wendy Nielsen of Maple Ridge who took home a new car, a Mazda 323- The next winner was an Abbotsford resident, Gloria Cavacece of Midas Street, who scored the 16-foot Coleman tent trailer camper. . Another local resident, Elizabeth Fredericks of Mission, was awarded the trip for two to Ireland drawn during the Irish Rovers concert Saturday night. Leona Nickerson was tlie big winner Monday night when her name was chosen to receive $1,000 cash in tlie Agrifair Prize Passport contest. Second prize winner was Brian Semak of Vancouver, who received • a trip for two to San Francisco. Winning a two-days-, three-nighti. holiday package at Harrison Hot Springs was Stephanie Christiansen of Surrey. Another Surrey resident, M. Had land, won the fourth prize of a dinner for four at Earl's in Abbotsford. While not everyone was as fortunate as those who took home major prizes, almost everyone who attended the four-day fair July 29-Aug. 1 were "winners" because they got to see what lias been described as by far tlie finest Agrifair ever held. Major attractions at this year's show were rock star Sass Jordan, the entertaining and multi-talented Irish Rovers, Canadian superstars tlie-Rankin Family and international country headliner Pam Till is. over tlie weekend of July 29 to August 1. Auditions were held earlier in the week during whicli sixty-eight various acts tried out and thirty were chosen for the semi-finals, six of which were from die academy. From tlie six,- two Ukrainian dance numbers; tlie duo of Tamara Pitts and Ashley Barker, and a group dance Hopak were chosen as finalists. A total of nine finalists from tliree days of semi-final competitions performed Monday night, August 1 in front of a panel of distinguished judges and a crowd of spectators all vying for tlie prizes in the open category. Winners of first prize, a trophy and $1,000. donated by tlie Fraser Valley Credit Union was the group Hopak. Dancers were Ashley Barker, Sarah Cumberland, Natasha Gall, Jaida Hay, Tara McLellan, Kevin ■ Maslanka, Tamara Pitts, and Theresa Plumridge.

AUGUST 10. 1994 ASK ANNABELLE Dear Readers, It was several years ago that we owned some goldfish. We have a little pond in tlie garden, fed by a mysterious supply of water, and we thought it would be the perfect spot for a small pool. We duly set out and dug a round, low hole. Brought in some water lilies and four goldfish. As the months went by we noticed first one and then another fish disappear. Finally we were left with one. It had grown to almost 100' per cent of its original weight. One morning, our lab, Soda, woke us with loud barking. We rushed outside in time to see a great blue heron just clearing the trees with our last goldfish in its beak. Soda chased it until she hit the fence and as we looked up at this huge bird the fish fell from its beak into the raspberry farm of the folk behind our property. We have often wondered what the farmer thought when he found the enormous goldfish under his raspberry bushes. This month we decided to rejuvenate our pond which has been standing idle for a few years. A bit of plastic, some cement blocks and a covering of gravel and we were ready to try again with goldfish. After purchasing a new water lily from the garden centre (from the young-man Who Knows Everything!), I made a stop at Mrs. Dare's Pet supply store across from Harts Video. Who should I meet in the shop but my old friend and former neighbour, CaUiy Thompson. She works diere part time. Wiy back in '83 Cathy was responsible for getting me this job of column writing. I reminded her that I have been doing this for 11 years now and it's all her fault. I don't think she took it all Uiat seriously. I bought four goldfish and looked around die shop. What a wonderful place it is! Everydiing you could ever want for your pets, from collars to huge bags of dog food to birds, all sorts of fishes and I even noticed a. hamster snoozing away die day. Drop by some day and browse, it's a treat. Mrs. Dare or CaUiy will be happy to see you. The goldfish are now ensconced in dieir new home and I swear have gotten bigger in only two days. The only difference now from the former pond is a covering of wire fencing. Hopefully that will keep die blue herons from dining at our expense. Cheers, Annabelle. * + ♦ Do you know why the duck crossed the road? It was the chicken's day off.

The August 3 decision by an Extraordinary Challenge Committee is the final step in the lumber case which began in 1991 when the U.S. Departnient of Commerce self-initiated a countervailing duty case, claiming that Canada's timber pricing and log export policies constituted subsidies to the Canadian Industry. By a vote. of. 2-1, the three- member ECC rejected allegations of bias regarding two members of the binational review panel and upheld tlie panel's determination that the U.S. subsidy allegation's were unsubstantiated and not supported by the.facts or (he law. The ruling brings the case to a conclusion and will result in the return of about $800-million in duties that have been paid by Canadian lumber exporters to the U.S. Based on its determinations, which were rejected by the binational review panel and the ECC, the Commerce Department had imposed a 6.51 per cent duty on all Canadian softwood lumber exports to the U.S. The ECC decision was immediately hailed by Tom Buell, chairman of the Canadian Forest Industries Council. "It has taken nearly tliree years but our position has been fully and finally vindicated," Buell said. "We have said from the beginning of this case that Canada does not subsidize its softwood lumber exports. This decision affirms that position." Buell noted that this was Ihe third time in the past 11 years that the U.S. had brought a countervailing duty case against Canada, ancl he said the latest dispute imposed unwarranted costs on both sides. ■ "Our governments and industries have expended enormous amounts of time, effort and money on a case that should never have been brought," Buell said. "Surely, the best way to proceed is to find a way to avoid such wasteful litigation in the future." It is expected the ECC ruling will render moot a parallel process through which a second binational review panel has been considering allegations that Canadian softwood lumber exports are injuring the U.S. lumber industry. That binational review panel has.three times rejected determinations of injury by the U.S. International Trade Commission. IWA votes for strike action VANCOUVER - IWA-Canada, the trade union representing over 27,0(00 workers in British Columbia's forest industry, has recently- announced that it is conducting a province-wide strike vote of its members. The announcement follows a meeting an August 2, ' with Forest Industrial Relations, the bargaining agent for B.C.'s coastal forest products operations. "FIR tabled a proposal for an agreement wliich is entirely unrealistic," says IWA president Gerry Stoney. "Their proposal is an insult. At a time when the forest industry is reaping record profits the best they come up with, after three months of negotiations, is a tliree year proposal with wage in creases totalling 60 cents an hour." FIR has offered die union a three year contract with increases of 25 cents, 20 cents, and 15 cents in the first, second, and third years respectively. In four of the past eleven years, IWA members have accepted zero wage increases. "Our members recognized the economic state of die industry during those years," say Stoney. "In 1994 the forest industry is in very good shape and we deserve a settlement which reflects that." Eleven IWA-Canada local union across the province coastal and interior regions will be conducting the strike vote ballot over the next two week period.

SHARE PROTESTS PROTESTERS "Bring Stumpy home" UCLUELET - SHARE B.C. is calling for the return of "Stumpy," die Western Canada Wilderness Committee's travelling 400 year- old cedar stump. The stump was uprooted from Clayoquot Sound and is the centre-piece of recent j fundraising activities in Canada and abroad by the WCWC and Greenpeace. "WCWC and Greenpeace have been dragging Stumpy through Europe and Canada. They're using the stump to misrepresent the facts about improved forest practices in BC," said Michael Morton, executive director for SHARE B.C. In response to die WCWC and . Greenpeace campaigns, SHARE B.C. is distributing its new "Stumpy in its Natural Habitat" poster. The poster details the vital contribution the stump could have made to nature, instead of being hauled from country to country. Morton said stumpy could have contributed far more to the forest ecosystem, providing vital nutrients for the regeneration of a healthy new forest. Money Talks... People Listen! "Stumps and fallen trees also provide critical habitat for a host of forest animals. And they become nurse logs for second generation trees," added Morton. "It was an irresponsible, tactic by WCWC and Greenpeace to haul the stump away from its home and exploit it as a cheap fundraiser around Europe and North America. "We're demanding a return of the stump to its natural habitat so that it can contribute to future forests." SHARE B.C. plans to distribute its new poster in North America and Europe in order to illustrate the importance of better informa - tion on forest science, and a more balanced view of forest harvesting. The caption on the SHARE B.C.'s poster asks • in part: "So when Greenpeace rips the four- tonne stump from its native soil to promote an overseas fundraising campaign, do diey really and truly have the best interests of British Columbia's forests and wildlife at heart?"

He, got a light blue hospital gown. "I am King David," he said, roaring for his throne. The tourist from New York had seemed normal. Then he came here - and flipped. "Jerusalem can drive people mad," says Yair Bar-El, a psychiatrist who treated the would-be king. The New York man is tlie most recent example of the 50 to 200 tourists hospitalized here each year for a delusional state called the "Jerusalem Syndrome". The city, Bar-El explains, brings out passion and frenzy. "Jerusalem can bring up deep tilings from the unconscious," says Bar-El. There was the 36-year-old British teacher who burst into an emergency room, panicked that she was miscarrying baby Jesus. There was Cadierine, 19, from France, who had an urgent message from Heaven ancl minced into a posh hotel to deliver it - nude. There were two men who - coincidentally - proclaimed diemselves to be the Messiah. Bar-El put them together in a room, each growling, "Impostor!" By now, Israeli soldier know: If diey find a wild-eyed foreigner wandering die desert, naked or wrapped in animal skin, drive "John die Baptist" to Kfar Shaul, a government mental institution headed by Bar-El. It has been providing psychiatric care since the early '80s for tourists with Jerusalem Syndrome. The illness strikes single men mosdy, in their twenties ancl diir- ties, from North America and Europe. In 1991, Bar-El and several odier Jerusalem psychiatrists published a study of 89 former patients. Nearly a diird thought diey were the Messiah. God came in distant second; Satan was diird. American protestants made up 80 percent of the group, probably, die doctors dieorize, lie- cause diey have a strong grounding in die Bible. Cadiolics reported die highest number of mystical experiences. One fifth of die patients have no record of mental troubles. Symptoms appear quickly, usually several days after arrival'in diis 4,000 year old city with a history as a magnet for prophets and doom merchants. United Church asks for help in getting Rwanda relief out TORONTO - The United Church of Canada is asking for help in getting information to church members about how they can contribute to relief efforts in Rwanda. "LInfortunately during July and Auiegjua. we know that many congregational offices are closed for tlie holidays," explains die Reverend Randy Naylor, acting general secretary of die General Council. 'Trying to communicate quickly with more dian 4000 congregations during the summer months is next to impossible." Phone calls to both the national and the regional offices of the LInited Church of Canada have indicated that church members are anxious to respond in whatever way diey can to the tragedy in Rwanda. "We know diat many of die United Church's tliree million members are watching die nightly news and want to know; what diey can do to help," says Naylor. "YCfe hope diat by getting diis message out dirough die media we can let diem know diere are ways to respond to diis horrific situation." So far die United Church has contributed close to $100,000 to relief efforts in Rwanda. In anticipation of die continuing response by United Church members to this tragedy, an additional $15,000 in emergency aid has been ear-marked for Rwanda. "As the LIHrced Church is nfl»f§_3Fs a position to organize its own relief efforts in Rwanda, donations received by the LInited Church for Rwanda go direcdy to a fund set up by the World Council of Churches to provide humanitarian and emergency assistance to Rwanda," explains Naylor. That fund has an objective of $8.9-miI- lion (US). LInited Church ■ members who wish to contribute to relief efforts in Rwanda should indicate this on dieir cheques which should be made out to The LInited Church of Canada. Cheques may be mailed directly to The LInited Church of Canada, Division of World Outreach, 85 St. Clair Avenue East, Toronto, Ontario M4T 1M8, or they can be forwarded dirough local LInited -Church congregations.

Throughout Canada, the Orient and Eastern Europe, qualified English teachers are in great demand. Linda Long, director of TWLl's Continuing Studies Department points out diat for approximately 60% of students in Vancouver schools, English is their second language. She predicts that Trinity VCestern students who add a TESL minor to an education or business degree will have a real edge in the job market. Individuals not pursuing a degree will benefit as well. Certified teachers,- for example, can enhance their skills with a TWU TESL Certificate. Individuals planning a career in foreign development can increase dieir utility overseas by completing the TESL program'. Long says that in order to enable a broad spectrum of people to enrol in the program, schedule flexibility was a key consideration. To diat end, weekend and evening classes "are "planned, the courses are accessible to those without a bachelor's degree and the entire program can be completed in ten mondis. "We tried to make it as diverse as we could without losing our focus," Long comments. Trinity Western's TESL program combines practice and dieory in a way diat will enable students to understand die complete teaching process. In addition to specific courses in teaching the language, the courses will include cross-cultural communication and teaching fundamentals. Practical experience will put students in ESL classrooms on and off campus. For teachers already working with ESL students, weekend credit courses will be especially useful, presenting specific and practical strategies to meet die needs in dieir classrooms. The TESL certificate program has been carefully constructed by TWU to meet the needs of both current and prospective language workers. A flexible and balanced program, die Applied Linguistics-TESL minor can lead to professional certification. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 10, 1994 \ \ i&■ ,___*S.'sVWiiii 19 f NEW IN TOWN?

The worship leader was Steve Penner and this was his last occasion for leading us before he and his family depart for China.-Some years ago Steve married Susan Butcher, an Aldergrove girl who was part of Aldergrove LInited Church. Now they have a one-year-old son, Joshua, ancl diey are about to go to serve die Lord in Harbin, north-east China. Next Sunday County Line Church will be saying farewell to them in tradition fashion, with a pot luck lunch. /Another family from our church has recendy come back • here after spending several years in die Far East. Rob and Joy Penner have die same name as the family that's just about to go to China but they are not related to diem. They have been working with Youth With A Mission, based in Hong Kong, and they made many visits to China. It's good to be part of a small church in our little town that has. connections through these two families with the distant land of China. In Canada most of us are familiar widi the name Jesus, either as a curse word or as die way of finding everlasting life. China has a population of 1.1 -billion, which is 40 times as large as Canada, and the vast majority of those inhabitants have never even heard of Jesus. In the sermon last Sunday, Pastor John Farmer told us that God wants his people to worship and magnify the name of Jesus. We have the option to accept or decline the invitation to be worshipping servants of the Lord, but God's_ purposes will be accomplished with or without our participation. There's a beautiful scripture (Revelation 4:11) which says: You a re worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power, for you ha ve crea ted a 11 things and for your pleasure they a re a nd were crea ted. Praising God is what we are here for and, if that's what we choose to do, we are greatly blessed by the process. Here is a prayer which was shared with the congregation. If you agree with it you might like to pray it: Heavenly Father, I pray that you will fill my heart with determination to act for Christ, lo bre-ak the silence and not be ashamed to stand for you when I see that vile, ungodly, immoral a nd sha meful things a re done. For me to have remained silent is a ^.ghastly disgrace. May it continue no more, and may this be the beginning of the change - a new spring in Canada as tlie life-giving gospel of Christ sprea ds a cross this land. I thank you for the amazing way that you are bringing people to Christ as never before. 1 rejoice that the statistics show rapidly rising numbers of believers. I pray that you will empower me to be a part of that. May I work and witness in the power of your Spirit and tlie gospel to change the hearts of people. O God enable me to help reclaim Canada for Christ. To you, O Lord, be all honour and glory, dominion and praise, now and forevermore. Amen. After die sermon Pastor Farmer invited the Prayer Team to stand so that anyone in die congregation who wantsed could go to someone of die team for prayer. It's good for believers to minister ■ to each odier. County Line church is situated on 52nd. Avenue, just off 264di Street, beside the Game Farm and our Sunday morning services start at 10 o'clock.

By MONIQLIE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Despite whedier he likes die term 'party whip' or not Randy White is not the Reform Party 'whip,' as he was reported to be last week. Aldiough it was discussed at party meetings that White should take on the job, he declined instead taking on the newly named position of Special Research. Tanya Steer, constituency manager for White says that the party whip is responsible for caucus members, making sure they attend parliament and do their jobs. However, White will not responsible for other party members. He is responsible for "major government issues" which would include diings like immigration, in dealing with the Mendoza case, or education in trying to get a university being built here. Reform on a roll? Randy White, the Reform MP for Fraser Valley West, has been travelling the Atlantic provinces in attempts to capture support from Tories and others who may be unhappy with the way die Liberal government is running things. White, originally from Nova Scotia, made his third trip to Halifax recently and claims response to his sales pitch was "outstanding." He was especially impressed widi die reception he got in one of his earlier visits at Halifax West High School. Randy was a student at die school. Earlier this year, its students elected a Reform Party government in a student parliament and they invited Reform Leader Preston Manning to appear as Governor-General for die opening ceremony. Manning couldn't attend, so he sent White in his place. White was impressed when,' later, Queen Elizabeth High School also elected a reform government in a student parliament. "I just can't believe it, how positive it is," says White who will likely be a spokesman for Adantic issues when Parliament resumes this fall. White left Nova Scoda at 18 when he joined the Air Force. "It was the same for me as it is now," he says. "When I was a kid, you either got a job or joined the RCMP or the»jnilitary." CDawson Creeto X>aily NijwSl' cent of WindSong's lands were to be left as lowlands and to be undeveloped for benefit of Yorkson Creek and its creatures and Evers also felt that it was better for all if diere was no public access to it. Evers also said there were no units dedicated for rental and she thought it unlikely diat any would ever be. The first speaker, Malcolm Prowd said that he had serious reservations about the "utopia" minded "communes" — "nothing traditional suits these people." He also didn't want WindSong's architecture and color schemes to blend into his Chelsea Green townhomes next door, accusing WindSong of "trying to look like an extension of Chelsea Green." On die odier hand, another neighbor, Judy Kelly Noble praised WindSong for "being incredibly responsible, neighbors" in meeting and accommodating neighbors' concerns. The rest of the next 90 minutes Ijejird a plethora of neighbors pleading council to nix the trail at the back of dieir properties, for ecological and security reasons. Maria Stenser presented a petition from 100 Derby Hills residents opposing the trail proposal. Chief among their fears was that drinking partiers, thieves and perverts would be the frequent users of the short trails. Edward Worzell, a local RCMP officer and resident, showed council a photo of a park bench installed on another nearby trail this spring, and it was defaced with graffiti and carving. He also had a bag full of garbage that he'd picked up around the bench, including beer cans and other distasteful items. These residents said money spent on trails was better spent on a playground for area children, which was something they have been demanding but told there's no money for. A few residents also commented diat the new Gordon Greenwood Elementary School already had portable classrooms on site and that new family developments should be curtailed until the school's expanded. Councilors pointed out that they were frustrated in having no influence over provincial education ministry spending priorities, and suggested residents express their opinions and wishes to the ministry directly. Another WindSong spokesman, Howard Staples repeated diat diey "don't want the trail eidier." Project manager, North- mark's Terry Lister said that while die development isn't one he would propose, "diese are quite conventional people" who believe in the concept and have put their money behind it. Council's decision on WindSong, and the trail issue, will be made at die August 22 meeting. Tower pulled ALDERGROVE - Gloucester Industrial Park has requested a change in location for a proposed BC Tel Mobility Cellular communication tower and accessory building. A proposed lease site at 26902 Gloucester Way was to have been heard by township council, Monday, but the application was withdrawn by BC Tel Mobility at Gloucester's request. BC Tel Mobility real estate manager, Frank Horton said "owners of die property 161884 Canada Inc. have asked that we change the location to Lot 4 (from Lot 7)" and they "would resubmit a new application for this locatiojft,4p dje^iy near future." ALDERGROVE - A majority of township council has nixed an application from a family farm to remove between 100,000 and 250,000 cubic metres of sand from a five acre hill on south 264 Street. Gary and Trudy Johnston Soil deposit jettisoned 2| LANGLEY - Council has received word from the provincial environment ministry that a soil deposit application for. private property at 232 Street and 72 Avenue has been rejected. Council and several neighbors had expressed their objections to' the proposal to the applicant and the ministry. wrote council to have staff consider the extraction of the sand "to open up another five acres to which at the present time we have had very limited access" on dieir 82.3 acre dairy fann. Tlie approximate five acres is currently "in rough pasture and contains an extremely steep hill." The Johnstons bought the farm in 1971 from Gary's father, Art, who has farmed there since 1938. While Gary Johnston called the proposal an "agricultural land enhancement project" councilor Steve Burton adamantly opposed the idea. "We're not going to ' open a can of worms," he warned. The township has a moratorium in place prohibiting new gravel extraction sites, aj_t'd the previous council received some flack last year when anodier south Aldergrove farmer, Bruno Giacomazzi was granted permission to remove a small hill from his land. However, in Giaco- mazzi's case, it was a much smaller amount of gravel and he wished to place a large chicken barn on die hardpan and leave the rest of the land available for grazing animals. Covin. Heather McMullan countered that Johnston had been a "true farmer since 1938... we should get more information" on his proposal. Burton said "the ultimate goal may be die value of die gravel" rather than farm enhancement. Johnston's request to have staff consider it was defeated by the majority of council, with McMullan and Mel Kositsky'opposed. WEDNESDAY NIGHT The Pantry's New Family Night Menu.

SCOTTY Star Trek is a clear 1 inspiration to physicist sr-«ipiizvKq&F&wjti: $&&!&*&&!£< LONDON - Space ships may one day be able to reach the stars at 'warp speed', a physicist has discovered. "I was watching Star Trek one day, and I thought diere must Ife a way to do diis right," says Dr. Miguel /Mcubierre, of the University of Wales at Cardiff. Alcubierre's theory has been published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity. "My method does not violate Suds recovered LANGLEY - RCMP have recovered most of the beer that was stolen out of a Labatt truck parked at 197B street and 97 Avenue over the B.C. day weekend. The beer was recovered near die 10200 block of 210 Street on Thursday August 4. According to police some of die beer had been sold on Monday and Tuesday in the Fort Langley area: They have suspects and are still investigating the case. Einstein's special theory of relativity which says that nothing can exceed the speed of light. "instead, it involves 'warping' die space in front of die ship so diat distance is eliminated and the onward journey becomes instantaneous. "But we would not be able to construct such a spaceship today, since we do not possess the exotic material that would warp die space around the ship." ' This "exotic" material, Alcubierre says, was present in die first fraction of a second just after the big Bang diat created the universe 15,000 million years ago. It had violently repulsive properties, and it caused the great "inflation" which made time, matter and space all expand with tremendous speed so that super- dense conditions at the Big Bang turned into the huge modern universe. "But.if this once happened on a vast scale - and physicists are fairly sure that it did happen - then spaceship captains could one day exploit it on a much smaller scale." Moscow's most popular newspaper is irreverent MOSCOW - Not so long ago, in die-heady days of political awakening, Russians couldn't get enough of the ponderous analyses and liistorical revelations featured in their newspapers. Today, those newspapers still feature ponderous analyses. But Moscow's most popular newspaper now is" an irreverent, brash, often-adolescent rag, Moskovsky Komsomolets, which has captured the public mood by taking almost nothing very seriously. Six days a week, the slim broadsheet entertains its readers with punchy features on sex and crime while reassuring them that it's okay to be bored with politics, have fun and get on with their private lives. "For a long time people were working for their country, for democracy, for their kleals," said deputy -editor Natalia Efimova. "Now they are interested in their own lives. We diink that every- • body in this country is tired of being taught and edified and preached at." Indeed, Moskovsky Komsomolets' readers run little risk of edification. Going beyond political incorrectness, the newspaper is almost, relentlessly offensive. Alleged criminals are described by etiinicity - "Uzbek beasts" and "Kalmyk thugs". The crime column, whose former editor hung a sign in his office calling for "More Blood and Sperm", wonders why a 15-year-old rape victim was out so late at night. Ray Charles' arrival for a Moscow jazz festival is greeted widi _ the headline, "Blind Musician: Did Ray Charles Manage to Smell the Russian Spirit?" Tlie newspaper organizes treasure hunts, huge street festivals and contests such as "Miss Hair", "Miss Eroticism", "Miss Legs" and "Miss Bust". And even die contests are a source of jokes: "Next year, we may organize different contests, such as Miss Right Breast and Miss Left Breast." Looking for a Fundraiser? Perhaps we can help!

How.tOrtnake emerals in your basement The following splendid recipe for making emeralds was found in an anonymous tract called the Papyrus Graecus Holmiensis, written in Egypt about AD 400: "For die preparation of emerald: mix together in a small jar 1/2 drachma of copper green (verdigris), 1/2 draclima of Armenian blue (chrysocolla), 1/2 cup of the urine of an uncorrupt- ed youdi and 2/3 the fluid of a steer's gall. Put into this the stones, about 24 pieces weighing about 1/2 obolus (a gold or silver coin.) each. Put the lid on tlie jar, seal the lid all around widi clay, and heat for six hours over a gende fire made of olive wood. You will find they have become emeralds." Somediing to do for the budding alchemist over the summer holidays. And, by die way, as early as 1650 BC the lustrous green gems were reputed as cures for bad eyesight and epilepsy, an aid for women in childbirth and for driving away evil spirits and blinding snakes and dragons. Emeralds are, ounce for ounce, thousands of dmes more valuable than gold.

New GVRD Glen Valley park plan protested by residents GLEN VALLEY - About 60 residents here attended a meeting last month to vent dieir opposition to tlie GVRD's creation of a waterfront park along the Fraser River in Matsqui and Langley municipalities. Langley councilor Mel Kositsky attended the meeting and said, "Residents are upset with GVRD Parks about this. Not a great deal of it is inside Langley, but farmers are upset that the GVRD is pushing diis on them." Coun. Steve Burton suggested Uiat, "Other residents probably appreciate this is being preserved for future use." Langley city.._councilor, Gayle Martin, who sits on the GVRD Parks committee, told The Star that she chaired the meeting at Glen Valley, and while she sympathized with the frustrations of residents who've put up with years of drunken partiers who frequent the riverfront, the first step of die GVRD would be to close die area off after-hours. "People there are opposed to it because of extra traffic and I understand this. There was one farmer who said he had to pull die same guy out two weeks in a row, when he got stuck in there. But this kind of thing is going on now because it's not controlled, there's no gates," said Martin "We had the same kinds of problems in Derby Reach, Kanaka Creek, but it stopped as soon as die GVRD took it over. I agree this sort of thing shouldn't be happening, and we're not going to be promoting a steady stream of traffic to the park." Martin said the GVRD Parks' landbanking currendy underway was all Uiat it could afford, aside from fencing and gates to keep people out after dusk. The intent is to leave the land in its natural state as much as possible and not to install-public attractions other than basic amenities, and to complete the Fort Langley to Matsqui trail along die' riverfront. Bar fishers also frequent the area and prefer it remain quiet and scenic.

NCHS was also slapped with a $25,000 fine and was ordered to have one of its directors make regular visits to a probation officer. Another tliree related societies were ordered to pay a total of $30,000 in fines; $15,000 against HarewoOd Social Centre Society, $10,000 against Harewood Communily Hall Association and $5,000' against NCHS Charities Society. The convictions were regarding more than $200,000 that was found to be illegally withheld from die charities, which are by law entiaed to 25 percent of game proceeds regardless of whether game- organizers are making or losing money. The scandal erupted two years ago when some 50 Nanaimo charities complained Uiat they had been deprived of over a million dollars in proceeds over a number of years, and the RCMP commercial crime squad began an investigation after the story was published in the Vancouver Sun. Crown prosecutors decided against pursuing most of the charges recommended by police, and also chose to only prosecute four inter-connected societies rather dian the individuals involved in die societies. Spokespersons for the charities have expressed anger over their treatment, and the fact that no individuals were charged with the crimes. They also withdrew from the hingos held by the NCHS and set up their own bingo hall in anodier nearby premises. NCHS spokesman David Stu- pich, a fomier MP, MLA and NDP president, has said diat they will be able to repay the $100,000 Tis ordered, along with the $25,000 fine, but did not know whether the tliree other organizations would be able to pay their fines. Stupich, who has weathered accusations Uiat the misdirected funds were used for political purposes by the New Democratic Party, has said diat NCHS had used the money to cover some bad real estate investments. He also said last week, following sentencing, that NCHS employees had been overzealous in ensuring that the society kept as much money as it was legally entitled to and, "unfortunately they crossed the line." He did say he was sorry that he hadn't kept a closer eye on NCHS dealings — Stupich is a chartered accountant — and Uiat he was too busy as a politician to do so. Slupich also released a report, Friday, claiming diat NCHS had given more than $3-million to charities over the years. Premier Mike Harcourt is .still awaiting an auditor's report on whether the NDP benefitted from the NCHS, which is due in about two weeks, but Crown prosecutor Ace Henderson's report shows Uiat no MLAs were involved in the criminal activities of NCHS and its affiliated groups. However, Harcourt is still under pressure from both opposition -parties to launch a public inquiry on die matter. "British Columbians still do not know if members of the NDP have been elected using illegally obtained funds," said Liberal leader Gordon Campbell. The RCMP investigation had recommended 14 charges after spending 6,000 hours investigating a kickback scheme that had charities returning about half money donated to them by societies. die the Weisgerber demands full public inquiry DAWSON CREEK - BC Reform leader Jack Weisgerber has vowed that the individuals responsible for the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society crimes will be held accountable if Reform forms die next govern - ment.

"British Columbians deserve to know all the facts of this sordid story, including how it is possible that our judicial system can prosecute a crime without punishing the crooks responsible. "If the NDP are too scared for their own political hides to launch a public iflt^uiry, the next government surely must, regardless of which opposition party is elected. "The letter of die law may have, been applied by (August 5th's) sentence, but justice has yet to be served. "The stiff fines assessed by Justice Joe are appropriate and commendable. But a full public inquiry is needed to hold to account the people who were involved in Uie Nanaimo charity rip-off, whether their actions are technically criminal or not. "The Special Prosecutor's evidence ancl findings should be immediately released, but thai in itself is not sufficient. "The scope of the investigation must be broadened through a public inquiry to answer the questions diat have not been addressed dirough the judicial pro- -^cesrs-jo claje," .said. $^_iggr3jd!si-» m> 28 >THEALOERt_fttoV£ STAR.
