WMMMMMMM WM?€4lm£M *MMWmM'M TOWN AIMS FOR 20,000 POPULATION Growth plan to be heard by ALC ALDERGROVE - The township is proceeding with its application to remove select lands here froiipij| tlie Agricultural Land Reserve for tlie town's future growth, and conclusion of an agreement to link the town to Matsqui's JAMES sewer plant is expected early in tlie new year. Both are considered urgent matters for growth management and planning in the new community plan currently being assembled by tlie township. The proposed Aldergrove bypass along the nortli side of the town is also contingent on ALR exclusion of some acreage at tlie north side. The Aldergrove Revitalization Committee said "die strongest possible case must be presented to the Agricultural Land Commission" ancl inchide the views of the agricultural community as well as "a financial perspective on die viable size for the community to provide for a full range of services." A population of 20,000 is considered ideal for die town by planners and the township. The ALC requires diat the township hold a public hearing on the application before they take, it under consideration, and the township is looking at a date early in die new year for die hearing. ALC members are not required to attend this hearing but bodi die township and ARC are hoping diat they will respond to die invitation. "It would be interesting to have diem diere," mused coun. Tnidi Campen, Monday. "They recendy used Aldergrove as a workshop discussion exercise, but I'm not sure anyone here would like some of die ideas they came up widi." Continued growth is also expected on die Matsqui side of the town, widi 225 acres currently outside the ALR, particularly if die JAMES sewer service is extended to Aldergrove. Langley and Matsqui. governments are continuing discussion of joint planning options for that area.

Supreme Court has accepted Lartgley Township's application to consider die zoning of a crematorium application, but lawyers for the funeral home have requested diat die matter be put asiqe. ig Lawrence G. Little and Personal Alternative Funeral Service's request for a^tay in proceedings is to be hejSkl on Nov. 17 in die Vincouver court- on a technical argument diat diere is no lawsuit pending in the matter. The court had earlier agreed to a judicial review of the zoning question that its opponents had brought to the township, and that is set for Tuesday, Nov. 22. Businessman Don RamSay, spokesman for opponents of the crematorium, said several of tlie group intend to attend the Nov. 17 hearing, and remain 'hopeful diat die courts will still heatffhjijr side on Nov. 22. Ramsay has con- sistendy argued that a crematorium is not an accepted use in C-3 commercial zonecl&reas. Voters to head to polls MATSQUI - \bters here will select a new name for their amalgamated townships of Matsqui and Abbotsford at the polls, Saturday, Nov. 26, as well as a new mayor, council and school board. Residents are invited to the municipal all-candidates' meeting, Thureday, Nov. 17, 7 p.m. at Centennial Auditorium, 32315 Soudi Fraser Way, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. There is also a demonstration of the new automated voting equipment that evening at 6:30 p.m. The mayoralty race is notewor- diy for the competition between retiring Matsqui mayor Dave Kandal, retiring Abbotsford mayor George Ferguson and retiring MLA-former Matsqui mayor 'Harry De Jong. Matsqui administrator, Hedda Cochran said the new municipality will save, more than $700,000 a year in salaries and benefits, although because of severance payouts to laidoff administrators in die first year, tlie saving is reduced to about $100,000 in 1995- Biggest growth in western corridor LANGLEY - The pressure is on as people continue to migrate to die Lower Mainland ancl Fraser Valley, and while Aldergrove has seen steady growth, the township planning conamission says most of die future growth will continue to be seen in the western corridor of the township. Commission chair, Marsha Stanley delivered its first report to council, Monday. She said the "hot" development areas of Walnut Grove, and Murrayville "are rapidly filling up and all serviced land wul be developed widiin die next three to five years... ancl it takes about tliree years to open up a new area" so planning and public consultation for that is currently underway and tiiejc@iimission expects to conclude the process at die end of 1995. The western corridor extends from Fernridge in die south, dirough Brookswood, Langley city, Willowbrook, Willoughby and Walnut Grove at the north. Current population of these areas is about 60,000, and have accounted for 60 percent of '.w&z township's growth since 1986. Tlie niral area, including Aldergrove ancl Fort Langley, have grown at a slower rate of 2.3 percent a year ancl account for 30 percent of growth in the same period. The rural area and Fort Langley are expected to slow down, but "die future of Aldergrove is less certain and is presendy die subject of anodier study. However, Aldergrove's growdi potential, even widi expansion, is small compared widi that of die western corridor, so changes here will not have a significant impact on total growth in die township." Stanley said the region will mushroom from 1.7-million to 3- million by 20.31, and while die Langleys will play a "small part, we are die fastest growing." She also noted that tlie aging population and increasing land prices will bring more demand for townhouses and apartments. She cited die Langley Tomorrow study and poll, which found that 75 percent of residents favoured accepting a "fair share" of the growdi, but less Please see page 3... for star subscribers <~ information PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C.

Grits condemn payoff VICTORIA - A $900,000 payoff to former BC Hydro boss Ray Hunt is "unacceptable," the Liberal opposition says. The New Democratic government removed Hunt as president and chief executive officer of the huge Crown electric utility in 1992. The Liberals say he has collected $912,259.00 in basic salary, severance, incentives and compensation for unused holiday time since he left the job. "These sweetheart deals are abso^ lutely unacceptable," said Liberal energy critic Dan Jarvis. Government spokesman Shawn Thomas blamed the previous Social Credit government for hunt's severance package. Growth is in the west From front... than half favour urbanization of Langley. This conundrum, will create many future headaches for government here, but the public consultation process that begins in die new year may find compromises for planners. Walnut Grove and Murrayville are planned for anodier 11,000 new residents and there is capacity for anodier 60,000 in Willowbrook and Fernridge, said Stanley. Copies of the background report are available free of charge at township hall and libraries, and die community development commission has set up a growth management hodine at 533-6057. A news supplement is also planned in die new year, to be published by The Star and the two Langley city newspapers. *ffiM£6iaW.1%i^ _W4 LANGLEY GOVERNMENTS LESS SO Music school is doing well, thank you! LANGLEY - The Community Music School is flourishing, despite a Hallowe'en night arson attack on one of its buildings in die city, and is looking forward to celebrating its 25di anniversary in 1995- As part of diese festivities, die Vancouver Symphony Orchestra has scheduled a performance next May at Walnut Grove Secondary School. However, the war of words between the township and city governments on a new cultural centre and music school continues to wage on. This week, the township received a letter from their city counterparts, reiterating their "willingness" to participate only if the centre is built on city- owned land and costs are split 78% township, 22% city. Coun. Mel Kositsky's motion diat diey write die city to confinn that the township is proceeding to build die centre on Murrayville Hill, and diat township residents would be given priority in its use, was defeated. Telling the city diat die township was open to further negotiations would only prolong die matter, argued coun. Muriel Arnason. "We're going to drive people crazy widi our lack of decision," said Arnason. "I didn't agree (with council's decision to proceed) but we made die decision and should stick to it." "Leave it as is," agreed coun. Trudi Campen. "The city is quite aware of our decision." "It's time, to start building die new music school," said coun. Steve Burton. Constniction of the $5-million first phase of the $15-million project could begin as early as this spring. The first phase will be a new recital hall pnd tutorial classrooms for the non-profit riiusic school, which is currently limited by space to enrolment of about 750 students. About 75% of these students are from the township, and council is considering moves to give priority registration and more favourable pricing to township residents on all its parks and recreation services and facilities. Township councilors are peeved diat earlier this year, the city government served notice of its cancellation of its 22% share of funding the Civic Centre, costs, effective in 1995- The city has also had a practice of giving its residents priority registration. Harcourt hints at '96 election VICTORIA - Premier Mike Harcourt hinted at a 1996 election last week, saying his government would want to balance the province's operating budget at least once before going to die people. Harcourt has promised to bring down a balanced budget in the spring of 1996 and must call a general election by die fall of the same year. Fees going up LANGLEY - Township fees are all going up in die new year, councilors voted Monday. Fees for development applications, permits and subdivisions are going up, according to a schedule from the community development division. Business licence fees are upped by 13 percent, except for arcades which are already at the Municipal Act limit of $3,000, and restaurants ($150) and accessory home occupation ($75) which were both increased significantly last year. Beer and wine stores, along widi pubs and lounges, are increased from $2,000 to $2,250 each in 1995. All odier businesses go up from $75 to $85 in 1995. Building permit fees will go up by an overall diree percent dirough die second of three adjustments to die single family dwelling valuation schedule. This program, spread over diree years, was approved in 1993- Fee increases to site plan reviews would be assessed at .15% of construction value ($250 minimum, $6,000 maximum), and will seek to recover all township direct costs. Currendy die township only collects $10,000 annually, but spends $40,000 in performing reviews. There is a proposal to charge lH-0 per water backflow prevention device, to recover administration costs of die new water safety pi&gram required by the 1992 Plupibihg Code. Lastiy, "letters of comfort" ijire- sponse to development inquiries will go from $80 to $85 each. Tlie township expects increased . revenue of about $164,000 dirough these 1995 increases to fees, and "reflect council's objective to have development fees more closely reflect staff processing costs."

Boot up this database of 'droupie- speak', downloaded from the Computer Glossary by Alan Freedman and die New Hacker's Dictionary by Eric Raymond. Hardware and wetware: 'Box' is a personal computer or a terminal, while a mainframe computer is 'big iron'. 'Wetware is a biological system, 'liveware' is human beings, and a 'droupie' is a computer groupie. ROM vs. RAM: If these acronyms leave you out in the cold, think of a computer as a refrigerator. ROM (read only memory) is like tlie freezer compartment where unalterable data are permanently stored. RAM (random access memory) is like the refrigerated section where data AN AMERICAN LOOK The costs of welfare reform WASHINGTON - Soon after taking office, Prune minister Jean Chretien set out to reshape Canada's welfare system because the country no longer can afford tlie cost of the generous assistance . it has provided its citizens for the past 30 years. Nearly a year later, however, reaction to the first phase of Uie proposed reforms indicates that Chretien may not be able to afford tlie political cost of scaling back that assistance. A watered-down set of options released by the government earlier this fall - seven months behind schedule - has met with sharp criticism not just from Chretien's political adversaries, but from provincial leaders "across Canada. Their cooperation is needed to reform the social safety net because the provinces administer and help pay for some of those programs. Bloc Quebecois leader Lucien Bouchard said the paper was "still- bom," "imperialistic" and "centralizing." Bob Rae, premier of Ontario, called the paper "an insult" and an "utter disappointment." In Quebec, where separatists lead the French-speaking province, officials called the document an unacceptable power grab. Interest groups representing labor and other beneficiaries of the programs up for review also declared the paper a non-starter. And the big automakers said if unemployment benefits did not cover their workers while plants were being retooled, Canada would become less competitive. All this fuss for 89 pages of ideas that the government is trying to sell as only a first step of reforms. Its most radical options: making people work at least 12 weeks before they can collect unemployment benefits rather than the current minimum of 10, targeting welfare to families with children, and offering employment training to welfare recipients. can be removed and added as easily as milk cartons can. Bit vs. byte: A bit (short for 'binary digit') is a single cell of computer memory that, like a light bulb, is either on or off. A byte, usually composed of eight bits, ajntains enough memory to create one letter or number. A 'nibble' is half a byte. Animal frame: Speaking of nibbles, you probably know that a 'mouse' is a small, liveware manipulated device that moves a pointer on tlie computer screen. But did you know diat a 'mickey' is a unit of mouse measurement? A 'worm' is a destructive program that, like a virus, sometimes sneaks into a system through a 'Trojan horse' (a seemingly harmless program). MorF? and Mindy: MorF?,an acronym for male or female?, is often asked of strangers conversing via E-mail. As for non- strangers, anyone who has 'met Ed' (as in the past tense, suffix '- ed') is finished or over Uie hill, while someone who is 'interrupt- driven' (as in a present tense fix) is constantiy responding to interruptions Just Frobbing: 'Frob* (short for 'frobniscate') is manipulating dials and buttons just for fun. A 'cracker' is a hacker who breaks Uirough a computer's security system, and a 'gritcli' (combo of glitch and grouch) is a computer complaint.

Stevie Cameron says he did. His lawyers say he didn't. It pales, however, beside the accumulated payout for our Members of Parliament who enjoy the best pension plan in tlie country, it would seem. To qualify, one must serve six years. For most, that means getting reelected once.. The National Citizens' Coalition has released its calculations on the total payout coming to the 52 MPs presenUy sitting in the House of Commons who will, this November 21, have served their six years. The grand total is $53,793,723.00, assuming they all live to lie 75 and that the Consumer Price Index advances by five percent per annum because, of course, MP's pensions are indexed. It really is a bit rich. Your pension starts when you be - come an ex-MP, no matter what your age. As a result, one MP who only turns 34 this year and was elected on November 21, 1988, stands to pick up a massive $2,146316.00 over the remainder of his life. A further 28 of these fellows will collect more than a million dollars each. Lucien Bouchard is in for $858,170.00. And one wonders quite what the arrangements will be for MPs of the Bloc Quebecois, if they take their fleur-de-lys and go. I'll make a small wager that this small personal concern will not be overlooked. It's not that any fair-minded person would wish to see former MPs living in poverty when in their dotage. Many are decent enough people. Let's face it, we thought so when we nominated them and worked to get them elected. On the other hand, common sense has got to play its part. If our 34-year-old friend above should happen to relinquish his seat this year, not only is he quite employable, he is also likely to be in line for some government appointment, as are many of his colleagues. He does not need to receive an average of $53,000 per annum for life and frankly, if 65 is good enough for the rest of us to go on pension, might it not also be good enough for former MPs? At all events, a plum job from the government should disqualify you from receiving such a pension, however old you are. Presently it does not; the practice is known as double-dipping. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Seriously flawed bylaw Editor, The Star, Sir, In response to Uie Corporation of the Township of Langley's proposed exotic animal bylaw 1994 No. 3461. Even tiiough (at Uiis time), Uiis proposed bylaw does not affect me professionally or personally, 1 vehemenUy oppose this bylaw. It must be stopped or changed. I do support Uie philosophy and the concept of such a bylaw, but not in its present form. This bylaw would prohibit die keeping, raising, showing and offering for sale of everything from llamas and alpacas to parrots, waterfowl, and ornamental pheasants. Maybe even pigeons. Additionally, if Uiis bylaw is passed, it can be amended at any time, quickly and quiedy to cover everydiing from zoos to rodeos. Species not named in schedule A of this bylaw are included anyway. I quote from schedule A: "The following list of animals, listed by species, includes all such animals whedier wild or captive bred and also includes all their hybrids widi domestic species, the words in parenUieses are only examples of a partiailar group and are not to be construed as limiting die generality of the group". End of quote. The next time you show or sell a llama or any odier animal deemed to be "exotic" by this bylaw and find yourself facing a $2,000. fine, you will understand graphically die implications of Uiis proposed bylaw. May I ask, what about the handicapped individual that has been provided witii a trained primate to help witii their daily needs? A few montiis ago we provided a small captive bred parrot to tlie Make a Wish Foundation for presentation to a terminally ill'child? is this child to be denied by this bylaw? Environment Canada passed an Act, Bill C-42, recently, known as the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act, (WAPPIITA). This act has provisions for the issuing of permits for the keeping of exotic animals under certain conditions. If all conditions are met and a permit issued, does the township of Langley have the right to lay charges under this proposed bylaw against an individual for an animal that a federal permit has been issued for? These are but a few of the concerns; Uiere are many more. You must make your objections known now, call your township councilor, attend the public meeting at the municipal hall, write letters. This proposed bylaw received first and second reading on November 7th, 1994. DON ADAMS, Curator. Vancouver Game Farm Ltd. Checklt out Editor, The Star, Sir, In the. issue of tlie Aldergrove Star, October 5, 1994, J. Ballard- Kent told me "to check out" the existence of tlie University College.of the Fraser.Valley. I am sony Uiat I have not replied before. I was out of the country. I was very much aware of the UCFV, and it is because of my support for it and admiration of it that I hope that it will continue to be an excellent community college witii some limited degree programs. If it were expanded to become a full university, it would gradually abandon all tlie badly needed non-university courses it now teaches, tlie trade and technology training programs, for example, and tlie agriculture courses. Probably, it would; gradually increase, the admission, requirements for die first and second year university courses so that it would match die other universities. Wherever,, a community college has begun to offer a substantial number of third and fourth year university courses, tlie non- university courses have been dropped. Then a new community college has to be built. Moreover, there have, been serious tensions between tlie faculty teaching tlie university courses and those teaching other courses. (As in the That's jazz Editor, The Star, Sir, W; enjoyed our winning tickets to the jazz weekend very much. It was great! Thank you for supporting the event. M.P. UPRICHARD Matsqui cases of Darwin, Australia, or the University College of Cape Breton.) A network of community colleges offering degree programs may be needed, but it does i not make up a contemporary university. In spite of the advances in information technology, a university still needs a main campus with a major library, laboratory, and computing facilities. Why make major changes to an excellent existing institution serving major needs, build another college to do what it now does, instead of beginning with a full scale university program, staff and facilities?

Fans enjoying local exhibition by Bruins ALDERGROVE - The Western Line Painting Atom A Bniins hosted a North Delta Atom A team on Wednesday night. North Delta caught the Bruins by surprise and scored in the first minute and a half. The Bruins had several good scoring chances but did not put the puck into die net until die four minute mark. Ricky Morrison took a shot at die net and Danny Thomson was able tc put in the rebound. This goal would be die start of Danny's hat trick. The period ended in a tie but diis would be as close as die game would be. Shortly after die start of die second period, Matthew Keidi scored on a rebound shot from Jason Garrison. Eight seconds later, right after die face off, Ricky Morrison gave Danny Thomson a nice pass. Danny skated in on Nortli Delta goalie and blow a shot over Uie shoulder of Uie goalie.

Sponsors for the Lasers team are Hamilton Famis Produce Market and Main Road Construction.

Good showing of skill and determination ALDERGROVE - The U13-S2 Aldergrove Thunderbirds, displayed a strong showing of skill and determination last Saturday, as diey defeated die North Riclimond Terminators 4-0. Coaches Jay Dickinson and Bruce Medjuck decided to appoint Josh Coleman and Kevin Rochon as acting captains for the game, in which Rochon was moved up from his usual position of midfield to die forward line. This move seemed to pay off as Kevin supplied two goals in die victory, supported by singles from Josh Coleman and Arilla Balint. The goaltender, Mike Drenka, played a superb game, stopping what appeared to be a sure goal at die end of the first half, making his way towards a shutout. Strong efforts were given by Ross Dickinson on die forward line, and Mark Kettering at defence. The win comes at an important time for die Thunderbirds, setting die stage for an impressive drive towards die end of tlie season.

But they will be die first to say it could and should have been 100%. But shoulda's, woulda's and coul- da's don't count. First up, an exhibition game with die U-l6 Gold Abbotsford Storm, coached by Barry Crocker, Canada's national team trainer, which went to die quarter finals of Provincial Cup in 1993/94, so die Allied Windows Hawks knew diis wouldn't be easy. Widi so many players on die limp, only 10 were available on game day, it was pleasing news to die coaching staff diat last seasons winner of die Unsung Hero award, Mike Savolainen, was returning to die team after initially deciding to sit out a year. The game itself turned out to l?e the most dialling of die season to date, as bodi teams took turns at peppering each others goal. Eventually, the Hawks began to take command territorially and it was against die flow of play when Abby took a 1-0 lead, which held up until half time. In the second half, the Allied Windows boys really took it to Abby, but again only territorially, eventually Allan Quadling scored, heading in a cross deep into die Storm 6-yard box. The game ended in a 1-1 tie, but it shoulda... . On October 16, North Richmond United visited the friendly confines of Steele Park, sporting a 4-0-1 record in 5 games, die Allied Windows Hawks knew diey were in for a battle. To make matters worse, keeper Richard Garside was relegated to the bench widi a diumb injury, forcing back-up Mark Howarth between die pipes. With only 11 fit bodies available, diings looked grim, but as the game started it was clear die Hawks were here to play. They constantly forced Richmond back and were unlucky on several occasions not to open the scoring, diis chore was left to Riclimond who took a 1-0 lead into the locker room. \ The second half saw die Allied Windows team take charge, outplaying Richmond, but constantly coming up empty. Then Richmond struck again for a 2-0 lead. Not letting diis get them down, die Hawks kept up die constant pressure and eventually Cam Dickinson potted his 13di of the season, but diat was a close as tlie Hawks got. If we had some of our better players back it woulda... Still stinging from diat ungracious loss to Richmond, the Allied Windows Hawks travelled to Surrey to meet Surrey United Challengers on Oct. 23 at Unwin Park. This game marked the return from injury of Nick Bieker and Corey Oswald, bodi of whom were not match fit, but gave die Hawks bench some options. From die kick-off it was clear the Hawks wanted this game badly as diey surged forward, keeping Surrey pinned down in dieir own end for long stretches. Eventually Alan Quadling used his speed to break clear and beat die keeper with a fierce low drive. Cam Dickinson, who is close to a goal-a-game pace netted another to give die Hawks a 2-0 half time lead. The coaching staff reminded the Hawks it would be unacceptable to blow a 2 goal half time lead. Widi diis ringing in their ears, the Hawks came out flying, but eventually a defensive lapse allowed the Challengers to cut die Hawks lead in half. Ryan Carey showed why he is one of die Hawks key strikers by muscling his way dirough a packed defence to score a goal that came from nothing and was the product of his own individual effort, residing the Hawks 2 goal margin. That was enough 4> seal a 3-1 win, but the Hawks squandered many more chances which they shoulda... As we said Dickinson is on a torrid scoring pace with 14 goals in 15 games, if he keeps up this pace he will easily better Quadling's season scoring record of 43 goals, set in 1991/92, keep up the good work Cam. As to the Hawks season to date, n 2- 4 record is respectable, but the Allied Windows Hawks lost three of those games by just one goal.

The Nationals were hosted by UCFV at Abbotsford from Nov. 9 through 12.

The bronze medal game pitted UCFV against the Grant MacEwan Griffins. The Griffins took a 1-0 lead with only 20 minutes left in die game.

Bruins have officially ended their tiering round as of die last game reported in this article widi a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. This great record allowed Aldergrove to join tier 3 along with Port Coquidam, Ridge Meadows A3 and A2 teams, Surrey and Nortli Delta. The Hewitt and Co. Bruins would start their regular season soon, but until dien it was time for some exhibition games. The Aldergrovians first played Soudi Delta at home on November 10, die same Soudi Delta diat had shut diem out 6-0 barely a week ago. South Delta was blitzed in the first half of die opening period by the home team but struck quickly in the second half at 8:36, 5:17 and 2:34 to take a 3-0 lead into the second. In the second Aldergrove evened up die play somewhat, but Soudi Delta still had die edge, as was evident at 11:05 and 10:12 when diey scored. Aldergrove finally scored on the Soudi Delta goalie at 7:29- Rich Pearce picked up die puck in his own zone, came to center and was prompdy sandwiched by two larger Soudi Delta de- fencemen. He still managed to shovel die puck ahead to Greg Hoffman who came in on a 2 on 0 on the left side and quickly snapped the puck over the goalie's leg to get die home team on die board. The third was as evenly played as die second, though Aldergrove looked increasingly tired as the period progressed. Soudi Delta scored the only goal of die peri od at 5:13 to win the game by a score at 6-1, despite die valiant effort of die Hewitt and Co- Bruins. A special mention should go to Scott Cleeve, die only player on Aldergrove diat finished the game widi an even plus/minus record.

Two evenly matched teams, they both put out a strong performance in the tiering rounds and were moved up to tier 2. After taking a loss in two previous games to South Delta, this third match-up was one the Bruins were determined to win - and win big. They surprised everyone grabbing the puck out of the first face- off and taking it in to score only ten seconds into the game - goal to Martin Nicola, assists to Dustin Goodman and Scott Robinson. Two and a half minutes into the game the Bruins had the score up to 3-0 as Paul Daley scored two back-to-back goals, assisted on the first by Josh MacKnee. By the end of the first, Paul had his hat trick and Josh another assist. Second period - two more goals for Paul brings his tally to five and lhe score to 6-0. Assist on the first goal lo Tom Martin and on the second, Ben Henthorne and Josh. The game does not lose any of its speed or excitement going into the third period. The Bruins continue to move the puck and pick up a nicely executed seventh goal - Mike Haber from Aubrey Smith and Steve Schulz. They go on to pick up a penalty and open the door for South Delta to finally get on the board. Goalie Shane Marchant lias been having an excellent game to this point but sees his chance at a shutout evaporate.as South Delta manages to get that extra skater around the Bruins defense to score. Aldergrove caps the game with a last minute goal by Martin, assisted by Tyler Perkins and Scott Robinson. The boys wanted this win and played to their potential. The game ends 8-1 Aldergrove. This drive and desire unfortunately did not carry them through the following night in New Westminster where we took on (he Royals. Alter working up to a strong 1-0 lead they simply - slopped. The Bruins opened the game with a quick one by Ben, assisted by Josh and Paul; followed by another as Scott gets his stick on the rebound from a shot by Martin. But tonight the Bruins would be plagued by penalties and not up to executing their usual driving attacks. Caught two men short and off guard, they were lucky to have Davis Parley's quick reaction in goal • as he made a diving glove save on a wicked shot from the point. The Royals were kept from scoring in the first. The Royals had their problems with penalties too. After weathering a Bruins two man advantage earlier in the second they fell to another Aldergrove powerplay late in the period - Dustin from Martin and Scott. Seconds later, the same shift scored again, this time it was Martin wit assists to Aubrey and Scott. Then in a quick turnabout it was New West's turn to score and the period ended 4-1, Aldergrove. Frustrated by penalties called (and lack of penalties called) a disheartened Aldergrove fell prey to their frustrations. Feeling that the refs were blind to offsides, two-line passes, high-sticks, and slashings by the Royals - then getting caught for too many men on a sloppy line change — they compounded their problem by incurring an unnecessary roughing call. The result was disasterous. The Bruins were in no frame of mind to play smart, heads-up hockey. New West was quick to take control with their two man advantage and score - then still on a powerplay, score again. Shortly thereafter, both teams were skating a man short with Aldergrove due to step out of the penalty box first. No sooner had the Bruins regained full strength, but before the Aldergrove skater could get into the play, the Royals got the tying goal. Unable to mount an effective comeback, the Bruins just held on and the game ended as a 4-4 tie. Monday night takes us to Chilliwack for a third exhibition game. The Bruins found themselves out-sized by the Chiefs and suffered their first loss in four weeks. Chilliwack started off the scoring early in the first period but Aldergrove persevered and finally put together a nice passing play to get one by the Chiefs netminder - Paul, from Scott and Dustin. Chilliwack got the go-ahead goal two minutes later to end the period 1-2. Chris Colonval opened the second period with an unassisted goal to once again tie the game but Chilliwack was quick on the comeback, scoring three times within the next few minutes. The pace set in this period was fast and furious, with Aldergrove actually out shooting the Chiefs. They came close many times but could not beat the Chilliwack netminder. The remainder of the period was scoreless. The pace continued into period three, and the Bruins goalie, Davis Parley, found himself overwhelmed as the Chiefs put on the pressure. In another scoring run in the final minutes of the game, they sank another three goals - the last as the buzzer soundedjtSThe final score was 2-8 for Chilliwack. A very fast, physical game, exciting to watch, it was not hard to take the loss seeing the effort our team displayed. Chilliwack gave us a hard workout - a good team to meet in preparation for league play. Allied Windows Pee Wee A Bruins play host to Chilliwack for a return match Thursday, then travel to Port Coquitlam the following Monday for their first league game.

It was more of a joke of hockey Uian a game. Abbotsford had lost last time to Aldergrove, and it seemed Uiey went to Rent-a-Ref and picked up two refs. This was especially evident during the second when Aldergrove was given 18 minutes in penalties for practically nodiing, while Uie home team's numerous infractions were, let go (including an Aldergrove player hammered into the boards from behind, Abbotsford slamming an Aldergrove player's head into Uie boards, and numerous crosschecks thrown at Uie visitors after the play). Abbotsford penalties seemed non-existent and left Aldergrove parents scratching their collective heads. Finally, after the visiting parents had yelled at Uie refs (aka Beavis and Butthead) Uiey called two Abbotsford penalties in the third, but after being down by 1 or 2 men for most of die second, Aldergrove was too tired to take advantage. Their only bright spot came at 11:22 of Uie Uiird when Bill Solomon intercepted the puck at center and dashed it off to Rich Pearce, who came in over Uie blueline, weaved around the defencemen, Uien fired Uie puck under Uie goalie's glove. Aldergrove still lost Uie game 3-1- Aldergrove goalie, Scott Mathieson and defencemen Greg Wismer, Brandon Spencer, Derek Marchant, Greg Fournier and Joe Hogan deserve special credit for excellent play as well as Aldergrove penalty killing. (Even worse in diis game than the refs, were the Abbotsford parents who blew air horns to distract Aldergrove every time a rush was forming or Abbotsford was shooting on goal).

NOVEMBER 16, .1994 11 Our province is now 136 years young FORT LANGLEY - As a heavy rain feU one hundred and thirty- six years ago, November 19, 1858, Uie Hudson's Bay Company steamer, Beaver anchored in the channel below the wooden palisade of Fort Langley. As the official party dressed in black suits and officers in dress uniform made their way through the mud up to the fort, an 18 gun salute •roared from Uie Beaver. They were about to witness th§£ proclaiming of British Columbia. On Uiat wet November day, Governor James Douglas ancl oUier dignitaries gathered in the fort's Big House. As 100 people looked on, James Douglas was sworn in as Uie first Governor of British Columbia. British law was extended to Uie mainland and MatUiew Baillie Begbie was ap pointed its first Chief Justice. To celebrate Uie historic event, staff and volunteers of Fort Langley will reenact Uie ceremony of reading the proclamations Uiat created Uie colony and proclaimed Douglas and Begbie. The ceremony will be on two days, Friday, November 18, 1:15 pm (for school children and public) and Saturday, November 19, 1:30 p.m. (public). This year, Uie Fraser VUley Amateur Radio Association will be broadcasting from . the Big House. Engineers from CFB Chilliwack in period costume will form part of Uie official party at Uie Friday ceremony. The fort is open daily 10 a.m. to 4:30. Admission is free. The ending of Uie Hudson's Bay Company's control over the mainland of British Columbia was prompted by the 1858 gold rush to Uie Fraser River. Beginning in April of Uiat year, over 30,000 eager miners had streamed nortli from California to the reputed delists of Uiis latest el- dorado. There were mutterings of annexation to Uie United States in the miners' camps. Tlie creation of Uie colony led to British Columbia joining in Confederation in 1871.

More Uian that, Uiis movie was second only to The Lion King for Uie battie of opening weekend box office grosses for the entire year. I chalk it up to curiosity and perhaps die-hard fans of Tom Cruise and company. What else could it possibly be? Oh, Uiat's right, Guns 'N Roses do Uieir version of Sympathy For the Devil (as a way of boosting soundtrack sales, no doubt). I must admit, G 'N R did manage to funk up this rather goofy tale. I mean really! Tom Cruise strutting around in long blond curly hair trying to talk around those teetii! And that Brad Pitt, talk about having a bad hair day. Hey Pitt, get a haircut! This movie did not need to be made. Anne Rice did not need to write the screenplay and she did not need to write Uiis book. But she did and it was, much to Uie dismay of Oprah (did you read about her walking out of tlie show saying that she didn't want to be subjected to such evil?) and several others who allegedly fled from the theatre due to sudden nausea. I did not flee and I did not puke but Uiere were times when I questioned the director's choice of sound effects. I consider neither the sound nor the sight of ripping, flesh to top my entertainment list and yet Uiat's what director Neil Jordan seems so eager to share wiUi us. Why Neil? Interview is exactiy that, a present day interview witii a two hundred year old vampire named Louis (Brad Pitt). He is pretty depressed as he weaves tlie story for interviewer MaUoy (Cliristian Slater) about how his wife died back in 1791, he wanted to die himself and then he met Lestat (Cruise) who convinced him to join the undead. Since then he has been plagued with tlie reality that he's a giant mosquito, sucking blood to survive. What hurt me most about this film is Uiat if the makers had eliminated tlie majority of tlie spurting blood, close-ups of puncturing flesh and ripped flesh, we could have had a quality picture. Almost Tarantino-like, Rice tiirows in very effective, comedic moments into her vat of violence. I still giggle when I remember certain lines. Although very dark, Uie humor was right on target. It's a pity Rice couldn't have lightened it up some more.

(mye^rs) OFT CERTFKA7ES ON SALE NOW AT THE BOX OFRCE Banderas (The House of the Spirits) and Stephen Rea, this movie is not as dreary as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but just as disturbing. If you really need a vampire in your life check out George Hamilton's Love at First Bite; his accent is great. In second place at tlie box office this weekend was The Santa Clause, starring Tim Allen from TV's Home. Improvement sit-com. This movie was a delicious treat. I love Cliristmas and to see it so lovingly depicted was heartwarming. I felt so alive sitting in the theatre with that big screen in front of me, laying out a feast for my eyes and ears. Carols were playing, snow was falling, the trees were lit and divorced dads were taking kids to Denny's for Cliristmas Eve dinner because Uiey burnt the turkey. Scott Calvin is divorced from his wife Laura. Their son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) is to spend Christmas Eve with dad. The evening doesn't start out too well. Scott is late coming home from an office party and tiien there's the turkey fiasco. Charlie, not terribly keen on staying with dad, gives mom instructions to pick him up at daybreak and no later. Yes, this is a father-son relationship in need of repair. How the movie deals with Uiis is the plot to tlie most enchanting and original Christmas film in quite a while. Through unexpected circumstances Scott Calvin falls subject to tlie Santa Clause, making him the St. Nick. The audience is taken to tlie North Pole, we meet the reindeer, the elves, we even get to ride along in Santa's sleigh and we finally get to learn the secrets of Santa. With a wonderful little musical number of ZZ Top's Gimmie All Your Lovin', a witty Bernard-the- elf performance by David Kruii-holtz and an unusually original attempt at dealing with Santa and the issue, of separated families, this film is well worth your time; a Cliristmas bargain.

Mobile home park residents get dispute resolution laws THE ALDERGROVE STAR, NOVEMBER 16,1994 13 VICTORIA - Joan Smallwood, Minister Responsible for Housing, Recreation and Consumer Services has announced that tlie Manufactured Home Park Dispute Resolution Committee will be functional as of December 1, 1994. Tlie committee is appointed under Amendments to die Residential Tenancy Act, Bill 67, and was established to help address home and park owners concerns. Its main functions will be to conduct rent reviews, establish park rules and regulations, levels of service and sublets or assignments of lease. Another section of die bill encourages die formation of Local Park Committees to support landlords and tenants in cooperating to solve, park concerns at die local level. "Changes proclaimed under the Residential Tenancy Act establish procedures on representation, voting, decision making and odier business matters," said Smallwood. "Previously, commit^ > tees functioned on an informal basis. This legislation formalizes dieir work and ensures consistent operations." Smallwood goes on to say that diese voluntary organizations have been an effective planning group and have assisted in resolving disputes, drafting niles to fit local home park needs, and promoting communicadon between owners of manufactured homes and home parks. A local park committee must consist of die park's landlord or an individual nominated by the landlord, and two to five tenants who live in the park. Members must be elected every year and can be re-elected. The amendments to die act also allow for die MHPDRC to mediate disputes not solved at die local level. These include lease terms, park rules, levels of service, security deposits and sublet* or assignments of leases. In addition, the committee will address disputes over rent increases received after October 1, 1992, with mediation beginning on December 1. "Since the committee formed in February, its members have been developing local park committee guidelines and dispute resolution processes." said Smallwood. "Committee chair David Cox, and members Doug Hallett and Ray Manzer are to be commended for dieir excellent work." Tlie manufactured Home Park Committee was established under 1993 amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act and were the result of Malahot-Juan de Fuca MLA Rick Kasper's in- depth study of issues facing die manufactured home park sector. "During the consultations with owners of manufactured homes and home parks, we were told diat a significant number of disputes could be worked out at die local park level," said Kasper. "Many parks have already established local park committees and are finding them effecdve problem-solving forums. These guidelines provide a formal structure for diat process." Information on local park committees, die Manufactured Home Park Dispute Resolution Committee, and applications for mediation forms are available from the Residential Tenancy Branch, B.C. Access Centres and Government Agent Offices. Farming subdivision refused second look LANGLEY - Councilors will not reconsider a request for subdivision of a farm. Coun. Mel Kositsky cast die sole dissenting vote, after consultant Jacob de Raadt implored for dieir support of a family's desire to subdivide land for their son to start a broiler chicken operation in his own name. Ian and Shirley Jackson of 8415 Armstrong Road want to bequest 2.5 hectares of dieir land for son, Peter Harrison, and to transfer their B.C. Chicken Marketing Board quota to Harrison. The Airport authority needed in B.C., says council RICHMOND - The British Columbia Aviation Council plans on developing a Provincial Airports Authority to assist B.C. communities widi airport transfers. Minister of Transport, Douglas Young, in his announcement of die national airports policy, indicated diat his ministry is prepared to transfer airports to local community control or odier interested parties. BCAC supports a made-in-B.C. solution as the best answer. It believes die funding for die Airport Authority must come from monies presently going to Ottawa from Vancouver International Airport; these funds should subsidize die present B.C. system. BCAC will be meeting with mayors who have airports to be transferred soon to discuss the British Columbia Airports Authority. family says diat financing is next to impossible for Harrison to acquire widiout title to tlie land in his own name. A natural ravine runs along the line die family seeks in splitting the property, but die Agricultural Land Commission would also have to grant its approval. Township staff had opposed die proposal because, it would not conform to dieir Rural Plan which limits minimum lot sizes at 20 acres in die area, but de Raadt said diat since the application had been made prior to adoption of die Rural Plan he asked for endorsement "under the old niles." Thirty-eight neighbours support die application, added de Raadt, "and diis high level of support by the community warrants its reconsideration." Coun. Muriel Arnason suggested that "diis mitigates against (de Raadt's) client... I'm afraid diey all have some subdivision in mind." This was not possible, said de Raadt, as any new applications would not fit die Rural Plan requirements. Mayor John Scholtens,had opposed die Rural Plan adoption two years ago, when he was a councilor, because he felt that the sweeping bylaw would not allow flexibilty in dealing with farming issues. Scholtens had promised de Raadt to bring diis application back for reconsideration, but Scholtens was away Monday dealing widi a family emergency in Alberta. Coun. Trudi Campen said it was "only fair" to give de Raadt some kind of response, and at diat. council voted for a firm no to de Raadt's request. Farm soil deposit extension granted ALDERGROVE - A soil deposit permit to "enhance agricultural capabilities" of land at 25939 - 48 Avenue has been granted renewal by township council, over the objections of coun. Muriel Arnason. Arnason said the permit has been renewed several times, and questioned whedier die work "would ever be completed." She added diat two neighbours were unhappy about the work and one adjacent family, die Barans felt "adversely affected." Township staff said that the work had been slow because owners, Roger and Steve Gordey had problems acquiring quality local fill that met their needs. "However, since then developments at Gloucester Estates have resulted in a surplus of fill in the area," and the 500 loads to complete die project would be trucked in over the winter season. No trees are to be removed in die project to improve drainage and develop pasture land on die property. Tlie Agricultural Land Commission has granted its approval diis mondi to die extension, and while the "fill operadon lias been quite controversial" •diere have been no responses to township notices to residents sent in October. However, the township has required an additional $5,000 bond to guarantee all work by the Gordeys. FORD Wm.

Co-op student comes up with environmental breakthrough SURREY - Nobody has io convince Malcolm Metcalfe of the value of a co-op student. In the summer of 1994, the manager of Environmental Services for Canadian Airlines International hired a co-op student from the Environmental Protection Technology program at Kwantren College. In only four months, the student, Lisa Vanderdoe, made the first critical steps in solving one of the airline' industry's major environmental problems - the safe disposal of glycol, used to de-ice aircraft. Meltcalfe gave Vanclerdoe the glycol assignment when he realized Vanderdoe was a smart, hard-working and enthusiastic self-starter. Her first assignments included working on company recycling problems and assisting and performing environmental audits at the Saskatoon and Toronto airports. However, Metcalfe soon realized- that Vanderdoe was "whipping out the jobs with such speed and vigor that she was bored." By handing the co-op student the glycol problem, Metcalfe was taking a chance that she had the intelligence and determination to find a cost effective and environmentally sound way of solving?^? After studying the problem, Vanderdoe set this challenge for herself: to convince municipal authorities that if the glycol is allowed into the sewer system, a sewage treatment plant can render it harmless by breaking it down into water and carbon dioxide. Lip until now, at smaller airports glycol has been allowed to run off into creeks - an unacceptable solution for the environment - and at larger airports collected fluids have been trucked to dis posal sites at long distances from airports. Metcalfe estimates that the cost of trucking glycol to waste facilities has cost die airline industry $3- to $6-million annually. Vanderdoe worked on die problem at the airports in Thunder Bay, Regina and Winnipeg airports Call classified as larger airports). When she finished her work stint at Canadian at the end of August, an outside consultant was hired to continue the work. To date, Thunder Bay has approved the proposal to direct glycol into the sewer system. Decisions on Regina ancl Winnipeg are pending. Metcalfe says he is "extremely happy" with Vanderdoe's work - so much so that he wants to hire her for co-op work placement in the spring of 1995. For employers like Metcalfe, a co-op student can mean the difference between a project like the glycol problem getting off die ground or sitting in a file folder until a permanent staff member has time to do it. As a short-term employee paid between $8 and $14 per hour, a co-op student can meet an urgent, temporary need of an employer by working on a short-term or contract basis, says Peter Milley, Kwanden's cooperative education coordinator. "A co-op student gives an employer cost-effective, temporary support and direct input into training workers for their industry." Another major benefit to employers is that co-op students like Vmdercloe tend to bring a lot of enthusiasm to the job. "Stuaj&its can bring new and creative ideas into the workplace. It's a fresh set of eyes," says Milley. LANGLEY - The RCMP, along widi die city and township are proud to be launching a challenging and innovative drug awareness project called Strengdiening Partnerships Building Safer and Healdiier Communities.

Reformers slam Hydro opinion poll spending VICTORIA - Government- owned BC Hydro has spent nearly $l-million on opinion polls since the New Democrat government was elected, the BC Reform Party has charged: The Reformers released a document provided by die> giant electric utility lisdng 79 market research projects conducted between November, 1991, when tlie NDP took office, and June, 1994. "I think that customers of BC Hydro will find it a little hard to swallow that die company spent nearly a million dollars to quiz diem about advertisements at the same time as hydro rates have been jacked up to cover costs," said Reform house leader Jack Weisgerber. The crown corporation spent $931,100 canvassing die opinions of everyone from industrial customers to a grade 7 class.

In fact die first match of a family and 'grandparent' was made just last Saturday! To be a volunteer grandparent one must be 40 or over, and can be married or single. They must also be willing to share their experiences with a child, and to become part of an extended family. As a security measure applicants must have a criminal record check done, and supply references including one from a physician. Applications are kept confidential. On die family side diere can be one or both parents with children aged approximately diree to 12, without grandparents living nearby, and the belief that an extended family is very important. In this day and age, because families are. moving around die world, many are left without the traditional support provided by an extended family. A volunteer grandparent can make all the difference in die world. There are no fixed hours or contracts, times are negotiable, and matches are based on compatibility and geographic location. Tlie benefits of die program are diat each volunteer relationship can become as special and rewarding as a real one, and all parties share experiences within an extended family setting, diat will last a lifetime. For die grandparents diere is the feeling of being needed and appreciated. For the children, it means not having to ask "Why don't 1 have a Grandpa." It changes die lives of all involved. Both grandparents and families come from every walk of life and every socioeconomic bracket. A counsellor interviews perspective volunteers to find out what each side is looking for in an extended family-type relationship. Tlie first meeting is usually with die counsellor present, to have an opportunity to break the ice and get to know each odier. The counsellor's help doesn't end diere, however. If the family or grandparent has any concerns regarding die relationship, die counsellor is always available to discuss die situation. Also die counsellor does a follow-up at one month, tliree mondis, and one year, just to make sure diings are going OK. So far Volunteer Grandparents has matched over 130 grandparents and families, widi 12 in die Abbotsford area. There are currently about 19 families and grandparents waiting for each other, but as always, diere are more families dian grandparents. - Volunteer Grandparents, which is affiliated widi die United Way, is funded primarily dirough die Ministry of Social Services. The main office is located in Vancouver and the phone number is 736-8271. The newest office; the Matsqui-Abbotsford Branch, is located in die Clearbrook Community Centre.

In all, over 900 volunteers have contributed. This November, LEPS is again organizing a volunteer-run treeplanting program. Trees will be planted on private properties along die Salmon, Nicomekl, Bertrand and \brkson Rivers. LEPS crews have surveyed these rivers to determine areas where streamside vegetation is lacking. Areas to be planted are chosen if die property owner is willing, on die basis of greatest ecological need. Tlie purpose of planting trees along riverbanks is to reduce streambank erosion, and to provide cover and cool water for fish. Salmon populations in Riding reformers "listening" to us LANGLEY - Township councilor Mel Kositsky told his colleagues this week diat he's "pleased" diat die federal electoral boundaries commission hearings held recently "have been listening" to demands diat new ridings "accommodate municipal boundaries as much as possible." Kositsky is council's delegate to die commission. He said, however, diat proposed boundary changes are not perfect as "Langley city will be further isolated." Tlie federal government, whiotl has said thaj it is trying to avoid further expansion of ridings, must still approve die proposal for a new riding in this part of the Fraser Valley. Have you seen this sign around Langley Township? It means that treeplanting has taken place in 1 the area. Langley's rivers have been decreasing steadily as more and more habitat is lost to development in the area. Restoring streamside vegetation is an important step in bringing back salmon habitat. Urban areas benefit from streamside vegetation in odier ways as well. Planting trees will help in the conversion of carbon dioxide or oxygen, provide wildlife widi food and shelter, and increase air and water quality- All planted shrubs and trees are nadve to die area. These species include: willow, alder, cottonwood, ninebark, nootka rose, hawdiorn, cedar and spaice. Funding for these trees comes from Tree Plan Canada. We are still looking for volunteer groups to plant trees. The time commitment is 2-3 hours on a weekend morning or afternoon. If you are interested, call LEPS staff at 533-6054. We are also looking for property owners whose property borders a stream or river in Langley Township, and is in need of streamside planting. Please, do your part to help restore salmon habitat in Langley's streams and rivers! The dates for treeplanting along Bertrand Creek in Aldergrove are as follows: Sunday, November 20, 9 to 11 am, Jackman Manor, volunteer group: 12th Brownies. Sunday, November 27, 10 to 12 am, Jackman Manor, volunteer group: 1st Aldergrove Sparks and 1st Aldergrove Pathfinders.

Spokesman James MacNamara said they have also applied for funding under the Community Activities Program for Children, part of die province's Brighter Futures initiative, to establish a neighbourhood house service for at-risk children. This would enable diem to provide Uie program from a building in the community, and MacNamara said letters of support from community organizations are needed to back tlie application. MacNamara can be reached at tlie Aldergrove office of the Social Services Ministry. KFC plans new restaurant ALDERGROVE - Planning is underway for a new Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and an upgrade of the existing two buildings in the mall on the south side of Fraser Highway and east of 270 Street. The proposal by Anne Ellingson ancl Rick Simpson of Lorkensul Enterprises is currently at die development permit stage. There are some concerns from die Aldergrove Revitalization Committee over the number of vehicles that can be acconinio-, dated in tlie drive-tlirough lane, and its proximity to the elementary school. The township is reviewing these and other issues. Five Corners plan to public MURRAYVILLE - A proposed realignment of the historic Five Corners will go to a public meeting in December. Two open houses have already been held in die attempt to rectify a growing and dangerous traffic flow problem while preserving die heritage aspects of the junction of Old Yale Road at 216 Street and 48 Avenue. The preferred option appears to be a realignment of Old Yale Road through a land swap with Sharon LInited Church, whicli would maintain the road only as a "local" rather than "collector" road. This would allow alternate siting for a new church and expanded parking lot. Your hospital needs you By MARTHA GRACE LANGLEY - The Memorial Hospital is seeking volunteers who would be able to spare a few hours each week to aid in helping make life more meaningful for patients in the extended care units. We are in need of a piano player, also people who piay musical instruments, volunteers to visit, play cards, and to help make ceramics once a week- Hairdressers are also needed. As well, help is needed to set up woodworking. A visit from a pet owner with a clog would be welcome also. Your assistance in any of these categories would be deeply appreciated by all concerned. For more information, contact Margaret Eaton at 533-6412 or 534-4121 (local 412). Gaming concerns remain despite premier's pledge BLIRNABY - The Premier's recent announcement on new gaming policy is ultimately good news for die non-profit sector in diis province and for every British Columbian Uiat uses any of die wide variety of services and programs available from local charities and non-profit organizations. These benefits range, from helping people with disabilities to supporting kids in minor sports programs and everydiing in between. Community Advocates for Charitable Gaming spokesman Randall Goddard said,- "Government had made a conscious effort to address die concerns of all stakeholders currendy involved widi gaming issues. In doing so, Uiey have recognized die value of die nonprofit community's role and die importance of secured access to those fund raising opportunities. "Endorsing the moderate expansion of gaming activities currendy available such as electronic bingo and charitable casinos should accommodate market demands without disrupting die exisUng marketplace. The invitadon to First Nations to participate is also extremely important and will contribute towards' long term stability. We hope Uiey will welcome this open door to fund raising opportunities that will ensure an even playing field for all concerned while allowing for Uieir economic growth and development. "There is concern about the precedent being set, however, ■with the upcoming introduction of Video Lottery Terminals widiout a charitable component. The rationale is to help eliminate an already existing problem of illegal machines currently in use in bars diroughout die province. Tlie absence of a charitable component, however, means a less direct route of benefits to die community. It will also potentially compete with die established charitable gaming venues which we hope, will be offset by die moderate expansion of electronic bingo." Charitable gaming supports more Uian 4,700 charitable organizations actively involved with bingos, casinos and ticket raffles diroughout the province. "This is not, however, the total number of non-profit organizations in British Columbia. There are. many other organizations in smaller communities Uiat have little or no access to gaming opportunities. We are hoping that there will eventually be a means of extending support to these groups as well," said Goddard. "This new policy has set the tone, in working towards an eventual gaming act that will hopefully entrench non-profit organizations' right to access, participate in, and manage licensed public gaming activities. Once in place it would establish a legal framework Uiat will allow a well-regulated, secure future for charitable gaming in British Columbia. This is something for which we have been lobbying for over two years dirough the efforts of Community Advocates for Charitable Gaming and will continue working towards until it is fully realized." JI Extended liquor store hours "shock councilor WILLOWBROOK - Some township councilors are not pleased with die Liquor Distribution Branch plans to extend hours at its Willowbrook store to 11 p.m. six days a week. Currently die store is open to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday, but renovation plans are set for January, and die LCB cites growing population as a reason for extending its hours. They've asked council for their views on die matter. A "shocked" coun. Heather McMullan said she "can't believe Uiey want to stay open to 11 p.m. in a residential area." Coun. Muriel Arnason agreed: "We have enough trouble; 9:30 p.m. is enough." Coun. Trudi Campen said the proposed hours were comparable to beer and wine store hours, and her proposal that the RCMP superintendent be asked for an opinion won a majority vote. ii 91 Mine games biggest ever exhibition VANCOUVER - Science World has surpassed its fund-raising goal of $1.5-million for its new Mine Games exhibition. ' The provincial and federal governments as well as die mining industry and related suppliers from BC and other parts of Canada generously contributed over Si- million to^fhe, exhibition, which- focuses on the scientific, fe^no- logical, economic and social impact of mining on our province. Mine Games, whicli opened to the public on October 22, consists of six separate modules spread across a 6000-square-foot gallery in the form of intriguing games and interactive, theatres. Visitors will search for gold, design a mountain bike, mint coins and test dieir skills on state-of- the-art computer games as they see how well they can master die challenges facing Uie mining industry in the twenty-first century. s&Miine Games will be featured at Science World until fall 1996, at which time it will embark on a national tour of other science centres. Junior Forest Wardens reborn under new "senior" leaders VANCOUVER - A 64-year-old youth organization concerned with environmental methods in B.C. forests is being rebuilt with die help of two senior industry leaders. Bill Moore, president of W.D.Moore Logging and Geny Burch, who recently retired as vice president of die forestry division of Fletcher Challenge Ltd., are spearheading the reorganization of die Junior Forest Wardens of BC. It started as a boys' club in 1930 and shortly after the program was expanded to include girls. Originally concerned with forest fire prevention, the club broadened further in 1944 to focus more on forestry, outdoor recreation and die environment. Moore, who is JFW president, said an immediate task is to build up die enrolment which has gone down in recent years. "Fortunately, we have the assistance ■ of some veiy dedicated people who grew up in the organization," he said. "At one time JFW had some 7,000 members. Today there are barely 500 valiant young people scattered diroughout the province," he added. Burch, who is vice president of JFW, said that recently the club left its long-time sponsor, die BC Forestry Association, in order to form its own organization. "This was done to encourage expansion of JFW throughout the province and to diversify our sponsorship. One of our main target-groups will be the B.C. forest companies," he said. The group has strong ties with the Forest Alliance of BC where its office is located here in Vancouver. Moore said B.C. is a province of trees and new environmental mediods and laws are bringing about changes in the industry. "Only by educating our young people about the issues of today will we have a knowledgeable public able to make decisions for tomorrow." Moore said a major consideration is the heavy influx of immigrants from other countries who are moving to B.C., and whose children will grow up mostly in urban areas. "If we are to have diese and odier young people care about our forests, diey must understand die need to use them, tend diem and enrich them." World's first hydrogen fuel- cell bus has B.C. expertise OTTAWA - Anne McLellan, federal Minister of Natural Resources rode the world's first pollution free demonstration bus to Parliament Hill on Oct. 3- This clean, quiet, efficient zero-emission vehicle runs on hydrogen. Ballard Power Systems Inc. of Vancouver created die bus in partnership wiUi Uie federal and British Columbia governments. "Leadership in new technologies and expertise is the key to a growing (Economy and new employment opportunities for Canadians," McLellan pointed out. "By developing diis zero emission vehicle technology, BaUard and its government partners are moving Canada toward die twin goals of sustainable development: environmental protection and economic development." NRCan's research and development arm, die Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology, provided funding for die Ballard project to adapt die technology to city buses. The British Columbia government and B.C. Transit also contributed funding. Demand for alternative transportation technology is growing world-wide, creating a large potential export market for technologies like Ballard's. Governments want to reduce poUution and encourage die diversity of energy supply. Consumers want clean, efficient, inexpensive fuel alternatives. The BaUard cell generates electricity using hydrogen and air. Hydrogen is efficient, clean and easy to obtain. City driving tests showed diat a vehicle powered by die Ballard fuel cell can be two or tliree times more efficient than its diesel-fueUed counterpart. Heat and water are hydrogen's only emissions. Hydrogen can be produced from eidier natural gas or water. Canada has an abundance of both. Like batteries, fuel cells convert chemical- energy to electrical energy. Fuel ceUs have two practical advantages over storage batteries. First, diey produce more electricity for their size. Second, fuel cells operate on fuel Uiat is constantiy being replaced, so Uiey are free from service interruptions such as Uie need to recharge. NOTICE TO MOTORISTS ALBION FERRY NIGHT TIME CLOSURE OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 26 The Ministry of Transportation and Highways advises that the Albion Ferry Service will be closed during the night time from Monday October 31 until approximately Saturday November 26.

The Ministry thanks Albion Ferry patrons for their patience and cooperation during this closure. <t_S> Province of British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Highways i_ ■mm m w^w^mm^M VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HIII Those hidden essentials THE ALDERGROVE STAR, NOVEMBER 16,1994 17 If you ask Rory MacDonald what he and his colleagues do at Langley Memorial Hospital, you'd better have a bit of time to spare - it's quite a long list! Most patients and_ residents won't deal directly with anyone from Engineering and Maintenance, but everyone at Uie hospital depends on diis team in a variety of ways. "We're responsible for steam, water, ventilation, refrigeration, medical gas, nurse call, fire and safety, security, electrical, emergency power and telephone," LMH's Chief Engineer notes. "Outside, grounds maintenance and improvement are also on that list, as well as renovation projects diroughout the hospital. And, finally, Biomedical Engineering is part of our team - specialists whose training prepares diem to service today's very sophisticated medical equipment." The people working in Engineering and Maintenance want to make sure Uiey maintain and service equipment properly - before it breaks down. "We're improving ways to make sure that critical systems are our first priority - systems such as the elevators, fire, monitoring and nurse call. If any of diese aren't in good working order, it can really cause great difficulty diroughout the hospital," notes Mr. MacDonald. "We also track repair needs on all other hospital equipment, which has led to better communication and greater efficiency." Like other hospital departments, Engineering and Maintenance staff have paid quite a bit of attention to making the best use of die hospital's resources. For example, a number of hospitals in die Fraser Valley have grouped togedier to purchase natural gas. Because of the larger contract, die supplier is prepared to give a better price, so each hospital pays less Uian it would on its own. "By meeting regularly with colleagues at other hospitals and sharing our knowledge, we also improve efficiency," Mr. MacDonald notes. "If there are renovations to be done, very often you'll find our department doing die job. In recent months we've installed a new laboratory system which linked departments with die lab by computer to get test- results faster - this meant setting up 40 terminals throughout the hospital," explains Mr. MacDonald. "Another renovation project was modifying the dish machine in Dietaiy to reduce the chance of injuries. We also did die renovations in Diagnostic Imaging when the CAT Scanner arrived, built the new doctors' facilities, and modified some Nursing Stations to make, diem more efficient." So next time you come to LMH nnd notice the well-kept grounds, or have no problems; with the elevators, or visit Diagnostic Imaging for a CAT S>can, or notice the attention given to security, remember the '.earn in Engineering and Maintenance. "We're proud of what we do lo make LMH comfortable for patients and residents, even though we rarely meet them," concludes Mr. MacDonald. Nurses win landmark Ul decision VANCOUVER - The BC Nurses' Llnion took on die federal government, and the taxation department over unemployment insurance-benefits and won a decision that may affect hundreds of workers. At a special?m[ hearing, the union's lawyer Allan MacLean successfully argued diat it was unfair for die federal government to calculate injured workers' insula lile earnings on only 57 per cent of dieir WCB top-up of 25 per cent. The BCNU said that before die decision, a nurse hurt on die job and off work for a year would earn her $40,000 salary from WCB benefits of $30,000 and an employer top-up of $10,000. After a WCB claim, some nurses get laid off, go on maternity leave or must access III sickness benefits. The nurse would dien have her LU benefits calculated at only $5,700, which is 57 per cent of die top-up, instead of her full salary of $40,000. The union's lawyer argued that this was grossly unfair and resulted in inequitable LJI and maternity leave payments. The decision by die federal government means that hundreds of injured workers who are laid off will receive higher LU benefits. It also means that women coming off WCB benefits and applying for maternity leave, will get more money from die government. BCNU^rpresident Ivory Warner, who represents 23,000 working nurses diroughout die province, said die decision, "goes a long way to help injured and laid-off workers - especially single working modiers - survive today's harsh economic climate." B.C. widows charge discrimination VANCOUVER - Fifty B.C. widows, ranging in age from 49 to 81 years old, charging discrimination, have demanded die dismissal of two cabinet ministers and die chairman of WCB. In a letter to Premier Mike Harcourt, August 30, Uiey outlined "die cruelty and abuse suffered by Uiese vulnerable and poorest women in society." They have petitioned die government for die return of dieir Workers' Compensation survivor widows' pensions. These pen- That's art OTTAWA - It has been revealed by a Reform MP that the National Film Board has been funded by the federal government to make 10 videos dealing with lesbian lifestyles, one of wliich is suffi- cienUy explicit to carry a warning label and is sold in adult video stores. The price for this investment in 'art'? $6,005,241.00. sions, awarded to diem upon die deadi of Uieir husbands, were cancelled when Uiey remarried or entered into common-law relationships. "Bill 63 restored die WCB pensions to Uie majority of widows who had lost tiiem upon remarriage. But about 50 of us have been denied die same right or benefit. This was done widiout any humane concern by the government and WCB by selecting an arbitrary date - totally widiout logic or justice," said a spokesperson. "Because we have been treated as irrelevant and obsolete by die minister for Women's Equality, Penny Priddy, die minister of Labour, Dan Miller and die chairman of Uie WCB, James Dorsey, we are now going public with our long, lonely and futile quest. "We have advised die premier Uiat we are giving him one week to respond before we go public and tell our stories individually and as a group. On September 6, if Mike Harcourt does not release our letter, it will be available to all reporters, government officials and members of die public." Permit areas expanded in Aldergrove ALDERGROVE - Development permit areas are being expanded in Uiis town to include Uie few remaining undeveloped multi- family sites and industrial areas, and commercial building guidelines here will require roofline design to screen rooftop equipment. These amendments came at the request of the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee, and follow similar guidelines set in odier communities. Development permit provisions seek a more "street friendly" look through encouragement of main entrances facing public streets and landscaping, while discouraging berms, high fences and security gates. Development permits will be required, specifying form and character, before building permits can be issued. Subdivision moves to ALC|| ALDERGROVE - An application by Ralph and Jean Parish to subdivide their 19.4 acres into 4.2 acre parcels was given council's blessing, Monday and now proceeds to the Agricultural Land Commission's consideration.

Didn't our parents make homes safe for their kids, diemselves? Well, sadly, not' always. The highest incidence of accidents to, and even .death of, children occur widiin die home according to recent federal statistics. And now parents, realtors and children facility managers are turning to companies like Child- Proofed Homes for consultation and service. "Tlie company is die only one we are aware of in die Lower Mainland" said founder, Michael Dronyk. The LInited States have enjoyed Uiis service for awhile, with Oprah Winfrey having a show on die service this month and American magazines featuring similar articles. Dronyk, a father of two, and Deep Cove resident, worked in die early childhood education field for seventeen years, following attendance at Grant McEwan College and LIniversity of Alberta. "I'm still very interested in child care from a regulation/resource perspective. I was looking for a new challenge while continuing to use my degree and experience. As a fadier I have a vested interest in child proofing. My wife's Criminals should serve sentences, says Dalton VICTORIA - The B.C. Liberal caucus believes that criminals should serve die sentences that are imposed by the courts. Moreover, die fines ordered by the courts should be paid and collected or community service should be imposed by the ministry of die Attorney Oeneral, B.C Liberal Attorney General critic Jeremy Dalton said last week. "British Columbia's criminal justice system is in utter chaos and die Attorney General is directly responsible," said Dalton. "Gablemann lost the confidence of British Columbia's lawyers with his handling of the legal aid issue and strike. He lost die confidence of the public when he swore a false affidavit to die courts. And now, he has lost die confidence of the judiciary liy his refusal to deal with the problems in die corrections system," said Dalton. "Gablemann has a responsibility to act on this issue and ensure die public diat those people sentenced by the courts for the crimes diey commit will lie made to serve diose sentences."

Tlie program is designed to reduce auto dieft, which occurs at an average rate of 42 vehicles per day. According to police statistics, most auto thefts happen between one and five a.m. If your car is not normally operated between these hours the yellow CAT stick- ^nin your rear window will alert police to die possibility diat die car may be stolen, and they will stop it and ask die driver for verification of ownership. Even if you don't have a fancy car, it could still be the target of theft. Among die list of the top ten vehicles stolen in B.C. are trucks and family sedans, the majority of which are stolen by young offenders right out of die owner's driveway. To volunteer for 'Combat Auto Theft,' which is a free service, pick up a registration form at any police station, BCAA, or ICBC office. B.C. NDP should look at U.S. example, says Reform VICTORIA - Reform BC caucus leader Jack Weisgerber said that die massive rejection of Democrats in Nov. 8's LI.S. election should send a message to die New Democrats in British Columbia. "Tlie desire for smaller, more affordable, less intrusive, government is shared by most voters diroughout North America," Weisgerber commented. "The rejection of Bill Clinton's agenda by voters throughout the LInited States should give Harcourt a wake-up call. Taxpayers generally are desperate for sweeping change in government that reflects dieir values and priorities. If Bill Clinton feels rejected today, just imagine how Mike Harcourt will feel after die next election in British Columbia. BC taxpayers are eveiy bit as fed up with this government's costlv so cial engineering and antiquated ideology as dieir American counterparts are south of the border. Tlie U.S. election should be a signal to die Harcourt government to abandon its ridiculous 'tax and spend' mentality and start to downsize government in meaningful ways, from top to bottom. "Ever since die 1991 election, die New Democrats have sought to mimic die American Democrats' strategic political approach and agenda. They even sought advice from some of Bill .Clinton's political gurus, who now call themselves 'New Democrats.'

Ex-Kinsey researcher, ancl now local Vancouver relationship ancl sex therapist, Bylenda H. Steward, M.Sc., focuses on the "missing links" that most self-help, psychology, human relationship books leaves out. Bylenda calls it the spiritual self, the essence of what makes you human. But whatever you choose to call it, this "essence" is the common denominator of all human beings.

Groundwater concerns "out of proportion" LANGLEY - A spokesman for 232 Street residents told council Monday that concerns over groundwater that have delayed proposals for die area have been "blown out of proportion." Eric Bysouth said he is "quite disturbed" that 14 residents of the 48 Avenue area, along with the Nicomekl Enhancement Society, are being held back from their plans, when, "there is enough water in aquifers under the area to provide all of Langley widi water. The present questions being raised indicate the municipality does not understand the situation or how to intelligendy plan the future." Bysoudi said a hydrologist's report given to council last week "mirrors my thinking." That report said diat shallow wells cannot be expected to last forever, and diat deep wells would not be affected by growing water use in die area. Bysouth said the 14 residents on die west side of 232 Street are seeking subdivision within current zoning allowance (20 acre minimum) and the new lots created would have only a marginal effect on water reserves. He was also unhappy diat the Nicomekl fish hatchery work "has been held up for six months" because of neighbours' concerns over the water die hatchery would require: "This is quite inappropriate." Bysoudi argued against SR-1 (one acre) zoning on the east side of 232 Street", which is not widiin die Rural Plan minimum lot size, of 20 acres, and he said subdivision of the 30 properties in die wMl draw down area could create up to 40 new wells. "Development o_T(.lhis area, as presendy allowed, could make a municipal water system for die area essential, ancl lead to downgrading the Nicomekl River into a drainage ditch." For novel wreath, try twisting one in rope FORT LANGLEY - Tired of vine wreaths and plastic forms? The Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre is offering a unique opportunity to' turn a 30-foot length of manila rope into a wreadi using die traditional Turks Head knot. Two classes for Nautical Cliristmas Wreath are offered on Saturday, December 3- Registration is required by November 25- Fee is $35; rope and materials included. Phone 888-3922. The museum is located at 9135 King Street. Instructor Terry Ridings, a well known fancy knot tyer and member of die International Guild of Knot Tyers, will demonstrate knots and talk about maritime history as well as show how to take a piece of rope and turn it into a beautiful work of art. "The simple act of tying a knot is an adventure in unlimited space...an excursion that is limited only by the scope of our own imagery and the length of the rope maker's coil," said Clifford Ashley. This wreath making class is not for die frail of heart. Rope requires work to transform it into something beautiful. The finished wreath will be 16 inches and can be decorated in a nautical theme or traditionally with holly, bows and cedar. The wreath will make a perfect gift for someone you know who likes messing about in boats. The marine art exhibit "Sail Ho" will be on exhibit in die museum at the time of diis program and will provide nautical inspiration. BC 21 Community Projects make community visions realities.

The worst thing a man can do in front of women is talk about pain - especially if these women are of a certain age. At a party the oilier night, my friend Bob made the mistake of mentioning that he'd recently had outpatient surgery on his knee. The knee, he said, was swollen and throbbing and quite painful. Immediately, you could hear a few snickers. "You call that pain?" his wife Judy said. Here we go, I thought. "I'll tell you what pain is, mister," Judy said. "Pain is 18 hours of someone-please-kill-me labor." At this, the other women in the room seemed tb perk up. Their eyes took on this strange, excited glow. "Pain," said another woman, "is a baby the size of a footlocker inching down a birth canal with the circumference of a garden hose." Still another woman said: "Pain is thrashing about in some godforsaken birthing room and feeling like your insides are being toni out by a team of oxen while the blood vessels in your eyes pop from all tlie strain." By this point, of course, Bob was beginning to realize the full enormity of his error. He tried flee- ing to another room. But there were four other men there and we followed him into the hallway and began beating him about the head. "What is the matter with you?" one guy yelled at Bob. "You know they're gonna bring up childbirth!" another guy said. I tried to get a punch in myself at this point, but Bob was backpedalling too fast I decided to wait until he was down and then kick him. Cleariy, the poor slob had forgotten Hanson's First Law of Suffering, named after my friend Vince Hanson, wliich states: 1. There is no greater pain than childbirth. 2. Only women can experience childbirth. 3. Therefore, only women can- experience real pain. Women wave this around the way the Chinese once waved Mao's Little red Book. Therefore, if you're a man, they have very little sympathy for your pain, unless, I don't know, your arm was severed And even if your arm was severed in a combine accident, most of these women would say: "Was it cut off at the shoulder or the elbow? 'Cause if it's the elbow, it's nothing compared to when I delivered little Jason." This, of course, is why you never hear men discuss their vasectomies in front of women. For the record, I have never myself had a vasectomy, owing to a number of different factors, the main one being: I'm one of those people who prefers not to have anyone advance on his testicles with a hypodermic needle and scalpel. Hey, it's a quirk of mine. God knows where I picked it up. In fact, I don't even like to talk about vasectomies. When other men bring up the subject of their vasectomies, the room starts spinning and I have to lay down . The point is, a vasectomy seems like a fairly grim and uncomfortable procedure. So you'd think that a man who endures one should be able to parlay it into some real sympathy. Which he can never do if the subject is broached in front of women. Men, of course, love to talk to each other about their vasectomies. Meanwhile, men who haven't had vasectomies will listen to these stories with great interest and compassion. These men will wince and pull their knees together and say tilings like: "What, they just cut it? Geez. Like it's an onion or sometiiing?" But as soon as a woman enters the room - BOOM! - that's the end of the vasectomy stories. A man could be in mid-sentence - it could be the greatest.vasectomy story ever told, the 'Catch-22' of all vasectomy stories - and he'll clam up just like that. . Then, he'll say something like: "Weathennan's calling for rain." Because men know that this heroic story of pain and the limits of human endurance will not impress a woman. To women who have endured childbirth, a vasectomy is like a paper cut. God, it must be great to be able to say that. Me, I've got to lay down for a while.

Government Employees' Union, Nov. 10. "Mediator Grant McArthur has helped the parties move closer to agreement on a number of issues, but the employees continue to demand an introduction of split rates," says John Shields, president of the BCGEU. "We had members on strike for four months in 1990 to win the current contract language. We're not about to give it up now." Tlie employers are demanding tlie right to pay one rate for personal care (such as bathing a client, or dealing with a catheter) and $2.50 an hour less for work such as meal preparation or household maintenance. On Nov. 10, tlie BCGEU asked die mediator to book out of the dispute, clearing die way for an escalation of strike action, and die union is applying to tlie Labour Relations Board for hearings to establish new minimum essential service levels at all 15 home support agencies involved in die dispute (Uie current essential service levels were negotiated between Uie union and tlie employers). As soon as new essential service levels are established, the union will serve strike notice and escalate Uie strike in odier communities, said Shields. ing demonstrations of skill by various herding breeds, a display of Uie new canine sport called Music Freestyle, in which handlers and dogs perform a choreographed routine set to music, Uie ever exciting flyball racing, and the obedience competition.

Speaking of (Books A Book Review by Ken Lang Tales for the Armchair Traveller Writing Away: The PEN Canada Travel Anthology Edited by Constance Rooke M&S, Paperback Original, $19.99 Thirty-two of Canada's best writers have contributed previously unpublished tales about travel, enhanced with personal photos, to Writing Away, an anthology published to raise money for a worthy purpose. Proceeds from the book will be used to aid and support writers imprisoned for exercising freedom of expression in the face of repressive regimes. Happily, Canadians are supporting the cause. Writing Away has been on bestseller lists for several weeks. The only non-Canadian included is Salman Rushdie, by now a household name and a prime example of the kind of writer PEN supports. Five years ago, Rushdie was forced into hiding when the Ayatollah Khomeini, interpreting The Satanic Verses literally instead of figuratively, accused the novelist of committing blasphemy against the Islamic faith. Khomeini slapped a $1 million tag on Rushdie's head, and more recently, the stakes have been doubled. Understandably, the author seldom appears in public. When he turned up in Toronto to give a reading at the Winter Garden Theatre in 1992 for PEN's major annual fund-raiser, he took the audience by surprise. Only a handful of the function's organizers knew of his slated appearance, ipl But despite the hue and cry for Rushdie's death by Islamic fundamentalists, he still retains his sense of humor and perspective. Both shine through, briefly, in his account of how the death sentence restricts his freedom of movement. Canadian contributions begin with Margaret Atwood's recollection of her first encounter with England and France. In Canada, we head north to the Yukon River with Pierre Berton and to the Liard with Peter Gzowski. We explore southwestern Ontario with Alice Munro and venture north again with John Ralston Saul. Others take us abroad. We follow Rohin- ton Mistry's search for adventure novelist Robert Louis Stevenson in Scotland. We visit Australia with Jack Hodgins, Mexico with P.K. Page, Barbados with Timothy Findley, and return to France with Jane Ur- quhart and Ronald Wright. Robertson Davies, it turns out, dislikes the journey but enjoys the destination, and Carol Shields highly recommends packing a supply of books—what else?—to avoid the frustrations of travel. Finally, Leonard Cohen and Michael On- daatje, respectively, deliver two poems and six photographs. Inside the front cover, you'll discover a copy of each author's signature, and inside the back cover, a perforated postcard. You can photocopy it or tear it out and mail PEN a contribution. What will your dollars do? The answer is concisely stated on the card: "PEN Canada believes that freedom of expression is a right that must be defended at home and abroad. Your support will help us work on behalf of writers in prison or otherwise in peril around the world. (All donations are tax-deductible in Canada.)" Or as Atwood more forcefully puts it: "hi a world where independent voices are increasingly stifled, PEN is not a luxury, it's a necessity." The Canadian chapter of PEN has operated in Canada since 1926—with notable success. But as long as tyrannical regimes are muzzling writers, the organization has much to do. Buying this book will aid its efforts. So far, nearly everyone involved in the writing, publishing and distribution of Writing Away, including many retailers, is making a substantial donation to the cause. Now it's your turn. And—hint, hint—it's n safe bet for gift-giving. Membership drive a success, says NDP VANCOUVER - The B.C. New Democrats have hit paydirt with their recent membership drives, NDP Provincial Secretary Brian Gardiner announced. The fall . campaign, the party's largest membership drive in a decade, has brought tiiousands of new members to Uie party, and still has the rest of November to go. According to Gardiner, the party has already added nearly 1,500 British Columbians to its membership list, wiUi an increase in annual revenue to the party at an estimated $100,000. "Our fall campaign is surpassing even my most optimistic predictions," says Gardiner. "We're averaging well over 50 new members in each constituency's local membership drive - that's a new member every five minutes." "Some constituencies are even breaking their own records in the number of new members they're reaching - Bill Hartley's constituency of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows signed up an impressive 112 members, and Kamloops-North Thompson more than doubled its membership with 135 new|naembers. "The success of these drives means a lot to the party," says Gardiner. "We're already the largest political party in British Columbia. With Uiis campaign, we're building a strong membership as we prepare for our next election, as well as raising money we'll need to re-elect our New Democrat government." Gardiner added that the average membership donation in the membership drives is $62. The party has no minimum contribution for membership. Twisted tales skewer the politically correct By JOCELYN McCLURG How's this for a new twist on "happily ever after"? Snow White and her evil stepmother, the Queen, become good friends and earn "worldwide fame for their contributions to sisterhood". Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the Wolf "set up an alternative household based on mutual respect and cooperation". The Three Little Pigs slaughter their "cruel wolf oppressors" and establish "a model socialist democracy with free education, universal health care, and affordable housing for everyone". It's certainly a happy ending for James Finn Garner, whose naughty little book, "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" (Macmillan, US $8.95), is a big hit. The humorist's tongue-in-cheek update on the world's best loved fairy tales has been on the New York Times bestseller list since June. Garner, whose book jacket identifies him as the descendant of dead white European males," is anything but a fan of political correctness. "America is building a lot of fences by calling each other names. We're fragmenting quite a bit," Garner says by phone from his home in Chicago. "We do need to fight for more rights for classically marginalized groups, but there are better ways to do it." Gamer says political correctness lends itself to satire. "Its excesses are very funny. For a person who enjoys words, it's fertile ground," he says. In Garner's version of Little Red Riding Hood, the woodsman becomes a woodchopper-person, the Wolf eats Grandma in an "entirely valid course of action for a carnivore," and Red Riding Hood brings Grandma fat-free, sodium-free snacks. The poor miller in Garner's Rumpelstiltskin is "rconomically disadvantaged," and Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk is a "complete sizeist" who thinks all giants are "clumsy, knowledge-impaired and exploitable." Gamer, 34, first started lightening up the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen by telling his PC tales between skits at a Chicago comedy cabaret. One of the club's waitresses suggested he send his stories to an agent friend. The agent rejected the manuscript, so Gamer decided to shop it around on his own. After about 30 rejections, he got die nod from Macmillan. Not much is sacred in Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, but feminism appears to be Garner's favorite target. "I hop to be an equal opportunity offender," he says. "There are tilings I make fun of that I strongly believe in. But if there's a decent joke to be made in a story, I just keep tweaking it." Of course, Gamer isn't the first to re-write fairy tales from a politically correct perspective. He says he got tlie idea for Politically Correct Bedtime Stories from a newsletter that went out to preschool educators advising them not to read children certain classic tales because they sent the "wrong message." And some children's authors have recently published toned-down versions of fairy tales that eliminate violence and remove sexist overtones. From there, rewriting Huck Finn is not such a big jump," says Garner, who adds there is more "sexism in the cult of Barbie than there is in Snow White."

"CORE has finally recognized that setting aside areas of the province for intensive resource development is Uie best way to preserve wilderness widiout hurting workers or communities," Munro said. "But clearly, many more areas must be identified for intensive forestry if Uie plan is , going to deliver on its promise of no net job loss for families in towns like Cranbrook, Kimberley, Trail, CasUegar and Nelson." CORE commissioner Stephen Owen proposes 4.9 per cent of the East Kootenays and 91 per cent of die West Kootenays as Dedicated Use Areas; An industry task force would be struck to identify additional lands for intensive resource development, and to establish productivity and employment targets.

Most are unable to translate their success as easily to the United States. Few are able to even sustain their homeland success on a seconds album, when they find themselves in competition with a new crop of new Bands of the Century. Such is the case with Suede, which was named Band of the Year two years ago by Melody Maker magazine before Suede had issued a single recording. The cheering continued with its debut album 'Suede', with a strident echo of the 'Ziggy and the Spiders from Mars' era of David Bowie and a new emphasis on androgyny and song craft>|M| With the long-awaited follow-up 'Dog Man Star' (Columbia), Suede was poised to expand its audience in the United states. Here, it has been forced to change its name to The London suede because of a folk singer who calls himself Suede. The group will continue to be known as Suede in the rest of tlie world. More problematic, guitarist Brett Butler, who co-wrote songs on the breakthrough first album with lead singer and front man Brett Anderson, announced he was leaving the band shortly after the new disk was recorded. Yet none of this seems to faze Anderson and drummer Simon Gilbert as they slouch in chairs in a dimly lit conference room high up in the Sony Building. "We've got a new guitar player and we're very happy," Gilbert says - though he can't quite recall the fellow's name. The departure of Butler, who had joined the band after answering an - ad for a guitarist for "an eminently important band," wasn't exactly a big surprise, Anderson says. "We knew for two years he wanted to leave." The change in personnel won't change the band much. The new guy (whose name, incidentally, is Richard Oakes) "is a brilliant guitar player," Gilbert enthuses. "He's given the band a big boost." "We're looking into the future," says Anderson. "We dispose of the past like a disposable razor." Yet there are echoes of the past throughout the 'Dog Man Star', most pointing to Uie glitter heyday of 20 years past when big themes were matched with ambitious production and strong vocals. "Everybody is influenced by the past," Anderson says. "That doesn't mean we fit in therre. I don't care about music history at all." Pressed for influences, Gilbert says only "punk rock." Anderson, after a moment, is expansive. "Film and show tunes, TV theme tunes and classic pop songs," he says. " 'I Never Promised You a Rose Garden'. 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling'. .'Riders on the Storm'. 'I Will Survive'. 'No Milk Today'. 'Please Mr. Postman'." And among those classics, he hints, will someday be 'Animal Nitrate' from the first Suede album. Or 'The Wild Ones' on the new one. "I've been listening to our new record," says Anderson, an unabashed fan of his group's work. "We think it's one of the best records ever made," he says. Beavis and Butthead, the video game - heh, heh, heh, cool By JOSEPH GELMIS Two of Americas's most popular losers, Beavis and Butthead, have parlayed raw, aggressive ignorance and juvenile bad taste into a career as stars of television (their own animated MTV show), publishing (a best selling comic book), music ( a CD that went platinum in two weeks) and, now, a video game.- The "heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, cool!" suburban duo, representatives of the slacker mentality and cultural icons to millions of teenagers and young adults, make their interactive debut in MTV's Beavis and Butt-head ($60 from Viacom New Media). For their faris, - this game means actively collaborating with their favorite airheads, instead of just passively watching, listening or flipping pages. Using a control pad, players move Beavis and Butthead through a familiar universe (TV room, bedroom, mall, high school, residential street. Burger World) and encounter supporting characters (Daria, Stewart, Principal McVicker) from the television show. The goal of the game is to find and recover the boys' set of tickets to a heavy-metal concert, which have been shredded and scattered by a neighbor and his dog. There will be three versions of the game. - «"$*■§ ly performed this role in the New York City Opera production of The Sound Of Music, for which he received a Drama Desk nomination.

However, it seems sometimes that a few well-chosen words at the appropriate moment may be far better than ten thousand pictures. At least, Uiat seems to be die way tilings go, as far as Uiis world is concerned. Recendy, a telephone call was received from Toronto with a special invitation to participate in a reception and other activities. Room has also been reserved in the Four Seasons Hotel, surrounded by 500 acres of gorgeous parkland, close to Ontario Science (.enter. Garden and walkways abound, with indoor swimming pool, sauna, health • club, cycling and whirlpool. Everything is free, including ■ the accommodation. The offer was too good to refuse. Accordingly, I went to Toronto for the weekend. Before returning to the Fraser Valley, I was greeted by a radiant gentleman called Wilfred. He recalled hitch-hiking out to British Columbia, and met me suddenly near a street corner. Then he asked me for directions to die local post-office, at Uiat time. After showing him Uie way, I offered to give die direction to another place. As a result, he came to see me on November 11, and after a few words that evening, Uie entire direction of his life was changed. Instead of smashing a window to help himself to valuable items on display inside Uie store, as he was prone to do, he has been devoting Uie rest of his life to help others and to show Uiem Uie direction to a better place.

In New York, a tiioughtful young man was introduced to me for a short talk. After he leit^ his friends pointed out how he had enjoyed going to the pub regularly and predicted Uiat in less than anoUier week he would be drunk again and again. To their amazement, he was never found Uiat way again. He began sharing his new way of life wiUi friends and relatives, until seventy of them were completely changed. In the big city, a young fellow asked to have a talk with me. After a few minutes, he left widi a new heart. Nobody had told me that he used to run around witii a gang, and a knife was put into his back, within an inch of killing him. The permanent change in his life shook many communities from New York City to Chicago. There are hundreds and tiiou- sands of serious-minded people seeking the real meaning of life. It takes only a few minutes to explain to tiiem Uie meaning of some words; and Uieir lives can be instantly and permanently changed. Here are a few examples of the life-changing words: "That if thou shalt confess witii Uiy mouth Uie Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in tiiine heart Uiat God hath raised Him from Uie dead, thou shalt be saved." Roman 10:9- "For die wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Clirist our Lord." Roman 6:23- "Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that heareth my word, and believeth on him Uiat sent me, hatii everlasting life, and shall not come - into condemnation is passed from deadi unto life." John 5:24.

VANCOUVER - Community leaders and healdi groups from across British Columbia are meeting to develop strategies to reduce tobacco use . in the province. "Tobacco Free B.C." is the name, and die aim, of the conference on November 19. "It's estimated diat die cost of tobacco use to our province is Si-billion," says Richard Rees, chair of the B.C. Heart Coalition which organized die conference. "Smoking is die leading preventable cause of death and disability in B.C., and more than 5,000 people die from tobacco use each year. This problem won't go away unless we take action now." Rees says the . impetus for "Tobacco Free B.C." came from the federal tobacco tax rollback earlier this year and concern about lack of action by the government of British Columbki. While public opinion research shows support for increased reg- ulation of tobacco use, the provincial government has been slow to act. To date die B.C. government has implemented only three of die ten tobacco recommendations put forth by the Royal Commission on Health Care and Costs. "With the provincial government's reluctance to show leadership in diis area, community groups are coming forward to fill tlie void," Rees says. "Tobacco Free B.C. will focus on die need for action in die area of tobacco control." Tobacco Free B.C. will feature experts from across die province discussing issues such as: women and tobacco use, effective cessation techniques, youth/school prevention programs and how to change your municipal by-laws. Vancouver MP Hedy Fry will announce the federal community action initiatives program for British Columbia at the conference. This program is funded by the federal tobacco reduction strategy and was introduced at the time of the tobacco tax rollback.

Liberal transportation critic charged. B.C. Ferries unionized employees have a clause in dieir contract which allows diem to refuse service to vehicles picketed at ferry terminals. Normally, management staff sell tickets to picketed vehicles, however in die case of TNL Construction, diey were denied service at bodi die Nanaimo and Victoria terminals. TNL Construction is a union contractor at MacMillan BloedePs Port Alberni plant diat is not affiliated with the B.C./Yukon Budding Trades Council. "B.C. Ferries is a public transportation network," says Symons. "It should not be used as a pawn in labour disputes. I am outraged that B.C. Ferries management is allowing this situation to escalate. Clearly diis is a case of die NDP government turning a blind eye to appease dieir friends and insiders. Obviously die minister is only concerned about protecting die rights of some British Columbians." 22nd craft sale BELLINGHAM - The Roeder Home's 22nd annual Holiday Arts & Crafts Sale will be held from Friday, November 25 dirough Wednesday, November 30.

Public asked to 'drive safe VICTORIA - As the War Amps mails out address labels to British Columbia residents this month, it is also inviting them to take part in its national safe driving campaign, Drivesafe. Drivesafe was initiated when the War Amps noted many diildren being enrolled in its Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program after losing limbs in accidents caused by careless drivers. To get the message across, the association has produced a public service announcement diat tells die tragic stoiy of one of these Champs, Meagan Tuck, who lost an arm when die car in which she was a passenger was struck by a careless driver. She must now wear an artificial arm. The War Amps describes Drivesafe in a brochure that British Columbia residents will receive with their address labels over the next few weeks. Ii} a letter included with the brochure, War Amps chief executive officer, Cliff Chadderton, asks die public to place a Drivesafe sticker on their rear windshield. He points out that die sticker is transparent and will not obstruct vision. "We have, unfortunately, seen situations like Meagan's far too often. We featured her in our public service announcement to bring home to people diat she will have to live minus an arm for the rest of her life. It's a strong message, but we hope it will get people to stop and think," Chadderton said. Drivesafe, and all War Amps Programs, are funded solely through public support of die Address Label Service. The asso ciation receives no government funding. The handy, personalized labels have proven popular widi die public, and can be ordered as gifts for relatives and friends. Those who have not received address labels, or would like to obtain a Drivesafe sticker, can do so by calling toll free 1-800-268- 8821. The War Amps also provides dirough Drivesafe a pamphlet of safe driving tips and a safety checklist, which can be obtained by contacting die same number.

Doctors leave medicine Paif t 'eco-fees^arsiiot alax VANCOUVER - Doctors in British Columbia are feeling isolated and frustrated with the present health care system and' believe that refonns now underway will not sustain a quality affordable and accessible health care system in the province, j This is one of the conclusions from a recent survey conducted by the BC Medical Association. Throughout June of this year more than 2,600 physicians responded this most comprehensive survey ever undertaken among British Columbia'-s doctors'. Results are said to be accurate within a range of 1.3 percent, 19 times out of 20. Doctors indicated their preferred model for financing the healdi care system is one covering a limited 'core' set of essential medical services supplemented with private insurance covering optional non-core services. Eighty-two percent of the physicians said they support this model while only 37.5 of the doctors believe that today's health care system is sustainable. Other key findings include: * 44.8 percent of surgeons have seriously considered relocating their practices outside of British Columbia. * 45 percent of female doctors have been sexually approached or harassed during the context of a medical examination compared to 23-9 percent of male doctors. * 86 percent of physicians believe user fees would decrease patient utilization of the health care services. * 75.2 percent of GP$ agree there is a conflict between spending time with patients and meeting their own financial needs. * 92.8 percent believe that those responsible for th<^ administration and management of the health care system do not understand the nature of the doctor/patient relationship. "Doctors have a constructive and positive vision of how to sustain and improve the public health care system in British Columbia," said BCMA president Dr. Mark Schonfeld. "It is clear, however, that those most intimately involved with the delivery of medical services have serious concerns with the current direction of health care reform." Open again on the weekends By SYLVIA BAKl.R Al.DFKGROVl. - Alright, we give up. Quite a few people have asked us at the Aldergrove Thrift Shop to reopen our d<x>rs on Saturday, so after some head shaking, deep thought and two willing volunteers we have decided to open Saturday mornings from 10 am until at least 1 pm. This will continue through November and December for tlie holidays. There is some doubt about the hardware section but the clothing store will be available for shoppers who otherwise cannot get to us during the week. We are delighted to let the community know that we had a great meeting ami the holiday spirit is beginning to touch us all. We were able to donate to the following list: Wofihingioi. Pavilion,--.n?Cedar Mill, Jackman Man<§ffY Maple Mill, and Cottage Pavilion. These are retirement homes or elder care centres. We made a donation to the Aldergrove Rotary for street lighting for the holidays. I noticed wilh the sidewalk improvements along Fraser Highway there are plugs next to all the little trees just waiting for holiday lights. We gave to the Abbotsford and Langley ;J5hristmas Bureaus for their hamper funds and to the fund for assisting Dieserie Rolhwell on her trip to the eye clinic for much needed surgery. Our total donations for the month were $4,500. Our guest speaker this month was June Willson from the Aldergrove Heritage Society. They are selling their great heritage book. If you haven't seen it be sure to call the society and ask where you can purchase one of these. They are limited editions and would make a fantastic Christmas gift for children, grandchildren and parents. Calendars are also on sale. They contain some nice prints of Aldergrove's past. So many people come from all around Aldergrove to donate to this little store but I wonder if you knew diat a great deal of tlie clothing that we can not use goes to odier organizations. Helping Hands is a group that recycles clothing by mending and cleaning it. It is then shipped to third world countries. Greater Vancouver organizations receive warm clothing, blankets, boots, hats and so on for the street people. All of our volunteers are proud to give so much in small increments of their time. If we seem to be smiling a great deal these days it is because we are pleased with the results. Our hardware store is just filled with useful items for the holidays. Tuesday, November 15, we will have our accumulation of Christmas wares out. VCe store tlie Christmas items for just this special week then put them out all at one time so come early if you are interested in lighting, bulbs, wreaths and great stuff. VCe have all kinds of tree stands for $1. and 50<T. Keep in mind all of our little extra dishes, serving trays, stemware, luggage, toys, and items you may need for that extra company. We are located at 2989 272 Street. Phone number is 856- 5292. Donations always welcome. Fishing in river will be studied SURREY - Aboriginal fisheries officers are conducting a survey to more effectively manage tlie recreational fishery on tlie Lower Fraser River, said the provincial environment ministry, Nov. 1. Uniformed officers from the fisheries department of the Musqueam Indian band are collecting information from anglers fishing tlie Lower Fraser River downstream from die mouth of the Coquitlam River. The goal is to determine die characteristics of die fishery including: the size and distribution of the catch; the amount of an'-. gling effort and where it is occurring. The survey will also provide important information on species such as white sturgeon, bull trout (char), cutthroat trout and steelhead trout. The Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks provided $45,000 funding for die angler survey. This project is an example of the province of B.C. and the Musqueam Indian band working together to manage the recreational fishery. The survey will continue until the end. Q__.De_c<?mbec 1994.. . , •_-_ . VANCOUVER - That extra 50 cents you're paying on a can of paint is not a tax. The Recycling Council of British Columbia wants consumers to understand that the new "eco-fee" being charged on die purchase of new paint will go to pay for collecting ancl disposing of old paint - but not by the government. "There seems to be an impression that die fees are a government tax," said Recycling Council of British Columbia executive director, Renie D'Aquila. "The eco-fee is not a tax, but a price increase, set by die paint producers diemselves." said D'Aquila. "The government, receives none of the money." The landmark B.C. Paint Care Regulation, which is presently being implemented, requires the paint producers themselves to provide collection depots for old paint. A depot must be set up in every community where paint is sold. Since October 1, paint producers have levied a surcharge on new paint sales, equivalent to about 50 cents per gallon. Paint producers have dubbed the surcharge an "eco-fee". "The money to pay for these depots has to come from somewhere," said D'Aquila. "It only makes sense that the price of paint will be affected." The surcharge brings die price of a can of paint closer to its true cost, D'Aquila pointed out. "Paint has been underpriced in Recycling tops last year's tally BURNABY - This years telephone books will l.x» tomorrow's newspapers, due to the combined efforts of residents, private enterprise, non-profit organizations and all the municipalities within the Greater Vancouver Regional District. This year an estimated 1,550 tonnes of telephone books have been collected. "This is more than a 50 percent increase over last year's figure of 1,000 tonnes" says GVRD waste reduction and recycling coordinator Pamela Nel. "The record amount of tonnage diverted fronvjhe landfill is thanks to BC Tel's efforts in organizing partnerships that provided a variety of phone book recycling programs to appeal to large corporations, small businesses and private households." Along with BC Tel and BC Tel Pioneers, telepljtone book collection involved the collaboration of the Purolator Courier, the BC Lupus Society, Laidlaw, the Recycling Council of BC and Ihe eighteen GVRD member municipalities. "Even some schools participated", said Nel. "Queen Mary Elementary in North Vancouver collected 2,500 books. A school in Bumaby decided to use Ihe money BC Tel paid for the telephone lxx'.ks the school collected to purchase trees to plant around the scTg^ol yard." Nel has nothing but praise for the efforts of BC Tel, which has promoted each municipality's specific telephone book recycling programs in community newspaper advertisements and on colourful posters. "It was just wonderful working! with thorn" she sal?!. "They bent over backwards to deal with any concerns. They paved the way for a true cooperative effort with the many environmentally-aware residents who are keen to recycle." In 1994. BC Tel used 20 percent recycled content in their directories. This equates to ;i i()0 tonne reduction in lhe use of virgin material based on current production volumes. the past. Until BC Environment created the new paint law, the cost of collecting and disposing of old pa int. was passed on to the taxpayer. Building die cost of waste management into die price of paint distributes diese costs more fairly. More importandy, it will create, a strong economic incentive for producers and consumers to reduce waste. Costs will go down, as die industry develops ways to reduce and reuse old paint." D'Aquila also complimented paint producers for making the eco-fee a visible charge, rather than trying to hide die price increase. "This will help to educate consumers that waste, paint has a cost. It will help encourage consumers to avoid waste." The Recycling Council of B.C. is a non-profit organization with members that include local governments, large and small businesses, non-profit groups ancl individuals. The council advocates policies based on die "Polluter Pays Principle", in which recycling and waste disposal are a manufacturer responsibility and product prices reflect full environmental and social costs.
