POLICE 'KNEW PERP VICTIMS I | Killer busted with body By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - A Langley man has been charged with murder after police stopped him as he was driving away from his residence where shots had been reported fired. Police responded to the call in tlie 4100 block of 272 Street, just before 5 pm, Saturday, April 22, and stopped the vehicle of Bernard Lawrence Giffen, in wliich they found the body of 41 year-old Deborah Lynn Foley, dead of gunshot wounds and wrapped in carpet. At the same time, police were called to Langley Memorial Hospital where David William George Allely, 34, was found to be suffering from serious gunshot wounds. Allely and Foley had been at Giffen's house the previous day and got into an argument. They returned Saturday widi two friends, at which time Foley and Allely were shot. The friends took Allely to the hospital. Giffen appeared in Langley provincial court on Monday April 24. All direje involved were known to police. Alfc_y>and Foley were involved in Uie bizarre kidnapping of a woman and her boyfriend in Abbotsford last January, and were charged with Unlawful confinement, Threatening death and Assault causing bodily harm. Constable Al Wakelin of die Aldergrove Community Policing Station said that he knows them well, and if he had to choose between Foley and Allely which one to be more scared of, it would be Foley.

Thirteen of the upcoming layoffs involve CUPE members who are angered by the situation, and in addition, several personnel and instructional service positions will be reduced from full to part time. All trustees, 'when announcing t|ie budget at last week's meeting, said there were many difficult decisions made during de- faberations, but the most important part is that the students come first and they will not likely feel the impact of the budget cutbacks. In a report on the budget, Superintendent of Schools, Susan EVerett said that budget constraints are a reality in all B.C. school districts and reductions have to be made. Ninety percent of the budget is staff related and dierefore, to live within the limits of ministry and local funding, staff will be affected. All areas of the organization will be making contributions, including trustees. Board Chair Linda Moir said diat she has requested an imme diate meeting with the Ministry of Education to discuss die shortfall and the new funding formulas, as well as a series of fall meetings, when it is better known how many students will be attending Langley schools. Because die district is decentral- ized, each school determines its own financial needs, and the full impact on each school will not be known until September enrolment. It is hoped that all partner groups will attend the fall meetings. The cuts of CUPE members will mean diat essential maintenance required for safety will be most important. Odier things such, as carpentry work, painting, and ground maintenance will be done on a reduced basis. Union members had a meeting widi assistant superintendent Alex Holm last week, at which time they were assured that their questions and concerns, such as die contracting out |&£, maintenance work, and their ongoing contract negotiations with the district, would be addressed. Holm said he expects that the employee groups will honour Uieir current collective agreements and that members will be at the job sites. Godfrey's prize now local legacy LANGLEY - Township administrator Jim Godfrey has turned over his $5,000 prize in the Fraser Institute's "Economy in Government Competition" to die township for a new "Innovation Endowment Fund." Godfrey, who is away in England for a convention, suggested the new fund to annually reward local government employees who come up with new ideas to streamline operations here. Mayor John Scholtens read a statement from Godfrey on Monday, in which Godfrey credited his colleagues on staff for their "collecdve efforts from a number of individuals" in helping to win the Fraser Institute prize. Godfrey said "all involved should benefit" and suggested the township .match the $5,000 to create the $10,000 endowment fund, which would pay out interest received, in the annual award.

By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - A long overdue review of transit service in Langley township and city is finally coming down from BC Transit, after years of complaints from local residents and politicians. There are actually tliree separate reviews underway: two are BC Transit reports, one recently completed for the region, and one soon to begin in this township, which "BC Transit has promised for some time," according to township engineers. The third review will be independently conducted and will include a critique of die BC Transit study. Langley township has been part of BC Transit service" since 1988, when GVRD gasoline levies to pay for the service were also /first collected at gas pumps here. That is the reason gasoline has lx?en a few p«?nnTiSS*13Ts?ap?r per litre at gas pumps on the Matsqui-Abbotsford sitie of 276 Street. Whether Langley township has received value fbr its contribution has long been a bone of contention. The levies collected have always exceeded die money spent on transit service here, especially in Aldergrove. "Transit has treated Langley as a cash cow," charged mayor Jolin Scholtens at Monday's council meeting. "They have collected $3- million a year in gas taxes from us, and given us about $l-million a year in transit service." ^Scholtens added that the situa tion has only worsened since 1988, as population has "grown tremendously," while transit service has stagnated and the cash payouts to the Transit chairman and bureaucrats have risen to mind-boggling heights. "We get less now than in 1988," said Scholtens. "It's high time for a review." Coun. Mel Kositsky added diat he'd attended a recent full-day session on a regional transit plan, but there was no word from Victoria on where the money would come from for expanded service. "We're still waiting to see where the dollars will come from." The independent transit review, ordered by the township, was provoked by die recent collapse of Frss^pr Valley Charter's commuter service but has been put on hold while awaiting results of the BC Traaiit study. However, the township study would look at broader issues such as links to Abbotsford and the east, and whether it should abandon the Vancouver system in favour of a "small community system" such as the one operated by Abbotsford. BC Transit staff have been quoted as not interested in such a study. Councilors agreed they were pleased that a "long overdue review" was finally promised on the "hot and contentious issue." Patience is wearing diin, however. "We're at tlie end of tlie line," said coun. Steve Ferguson. Suite legaization hits bureaucratic brick wall By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - City staff has been stone-walled in their attempt to create legislation for tlie legalization of secondary suites, because there is no provincial legislation under the Municipal Act, which allows municipalities to register and licence secondary suites. In August of last year, a report from the Secondary Suites Policy Committee was submitted to the provincial government recommending changes to the Municipal Act, but no action has been taken. Recommendations included enacting new standards for secondary suites in the B.C. Building (.ode, and several amendments to the Act wliich would provide local governments with tlie authority to licence and register suites. Should there be no legislation forthcoming from die government, one way for tlie city to regulate secondary suites would be through zoning changes, which would be costly to administer. To avoid this, council passed a recommendation to submit a resolution to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities requesting the provincial government immediately enact legislation to allow municipalities to register and licence secondary suites. They also voted to have a request made to the Lower Mainland Municipalities Association for their support of the resolution.

Muriel Arnason said she'd rather see it go toward scholarships. Coun. Mel Kositsky noted that the township and city already hand out $10,000 each year in scholarships from another endowment fund. Godfrey won the competition in the Fraser Institute's local government category, with the submission entitled "Restructuring the Budgeting Process of Local Governments." Godfrey's submission said government had to change the way it does business, as the private sector has, in response to needs of (customers' and the economic times. Langley township expects to save $15- million to $20-million over the next five years, once Godfrey's plan is implemented. Godfrey said restructuring of the budget process would change the "use it or lose it" attitude of government departments to their budget allocations. He suggests incentives for employees to save money, new revenue sources through "entrepreneurial activity" and other controls to better serve taxpayers. Godfrey's -ideas have been wholeheartedly endorsed by council, aside from the skeptical Arnason, but implementation has yet to be voted on. Godfrey believes the traditional budgeting system penalizes good departments, because if they save money their reward is a reduced budget the following year, while those departments which overspend are given additional funds tlie next year. 'Suites' From front Opposed to the motion were councillors Chuck Wiebe and Ken Funk. Bodi mentioned diat Uiere are already by-laws iri place dealing with secondary suites and they should be enforced. Wiebe said that tlie city cannot control the development of illegal suites and never will be able to, but with current bylaws Uie problem can be slowed. Councillor Wendy Lee mentioned that in Scarborough, Ontario where licensing legislation is in place, Uiere have been only 10 applications to register suites. She supported Uie motion as a step in Uie right direction but said she doesn't have much hope. Councillor Jack Robertson said it is hard to believe that after thjcef._ years,- council hasn't been able to properly deal wiUi Uie issue of secondary suites. "Now we find out that we can't do anydiing," he said. "How long is this going to take?" Richard Beauchamp, Director, of Administration for the city said it is 'a long-term requirement.' We seldom confide in those who are better than ourselves. - Albert Camus Treaty negotiators looking at new Lower Mainland parks? LANGLEY - Township niayor John Scholtens says treaty negotiations with native Indians in the GVRD are not proceeding smoothly, and criticized Uie provincial government for not providing clear leadership or guidelines in the process. Scholtens has attended, as a local government observer, since Victoria opened the process up somewhat, but he said Uie April 19 meeting was not a happy experience. "We're having a problem getting a seat because one party objects," said Scholtens, who wouldn't identify the objec tor. Scholtens said there are also concerns that the province has set a base on some matters in the interim agreement, while it "waffles" on the issue of whether crown parkland is a bargaining chip on the table. While the province has said Uiat private property is not on Uie table, the province has also recenUy negotiated purchase of thousands of acres from private owners for new parks in the Lower Mainland, and the government has not made it clear whether natives can lay claim to these lands.

Their spending decisions flow from this unliistorical premise. The triumph of political hope over economic experience wijl cause trouble if not Uiis year possibly in 1997. First, what is the business cycle? Descriptively, it is the up and down movement of the growth rate of tlie Gross Domestic Product. As far back as biblical times, we have descriptions of "five fat years" followed by "five lean years". The cycles, themselves, are not always that precise. Yet, a look at Canada and U.S.'s economic performance since World War II shows our economies completing a cycle of expansion and recession in a roughly similar time frame. What causes business cycles? Economists have put great effort into finding an answer to that question. None has yet to give a definitive answer. My view is this. The business cycle represents tlie variable outcome of a human constant - the drive to risk money, time and effort in order to achieve a higher return. The risks can include everydiing from big-corporations investing in new plants and machinery to tlie corner store advertising a new line of ice cream bars in tlie community paper. The economy expands when more risks succeed dian fail. The economy contracts when more risks fail than succeed. Why would Uie economic decisions of players as diverse as General Motors and Macintosh's Confectionery produce similar results? One answer is that boUi are taking similar degrees of risk at approximately the same time. Let's start at Uie end of a recession. Companies, if they have survived, are typically very efficient at this point. They have learned to make the most of scarce profits. With low inflation and interest rates, companies start to make investments - taking risks. These are probably good risks given the company's current level of productivity and pent-up consumer demand. The good risk decisions start to pay off. The economy expands and companies accumulate larger profits. Companies and individuals do not stop lsooking for new opportunities to earn a higher return just because initial investments succeed. If anything, Uie reverse is true. Soon, the good risks have aU been taken. Attention turns to riskier ventures. For GM, it may be a whole new assembly plant. For Mr. and Mrs. Macintosh, it may be adding a dry cleaning service. As economic growth pushes up inflation and interest rates, these riskier decisions become riskier still. Higher risk decisions simply fail more often. The reason can include market saturation, inexperience in new markets, the cost of borrowing and inflation reduces the real level of profit, critical labor shortages, or just plain old bad luck. The failure of high risk decisions has a cumulative effect. Over-extended companies crash and burn. Witness Robert Campeau and Uie Reichmann brothers. More solid companies retrench. News of lost jobs, wages, and profits cause investors to question even good risk investments and consumers to delay even needed purchases. They view the highest long- term return on money as not losing all of it either in risky investments or in credit-dependent consumption. The economy starts to go into decline as losses mount and investors and consumers take cover. The nimble, efficient, and thrifty adapt and survive. Odiers have more trouble. One of the "others" is spendthrift governments. Their revenues decline just when their expenditures rise to meet higher unemployment and welfare. Usually, they are unprepared, having put more effort into planning spending rather Uian forecasting revenues. If Uie business cycle represents the outcome of risk, it is small surprise governments do not understand Uiem. Politicians do not risk their own money. They risk the taxpayers' dough. Right now, Canada and Uie U.S. are near - or at - the top of the business cycle. Both govern ments are hoping for a "soft landing". A quick look at the last 50 years provides little empirical proof of such a creature. There are only degrees of hard landings. My advice to Paul Martin and Uie provincial finance ministers, especially British Columbia's Elizabeth Cull, is simple. Stop hoping and start preparing. At the . very least, balance your budgets. "Lean year" spending on "fat year" revenues cannot last. Next year you might not have the fat. (Mr. Lippert is a senior policy analyst at the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver-based think tank). LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Beating around the bush Editor, The Star, Sir, A personal opinion of the Municipal Hall meetings held on March 27 and April 10. As a resident of Brookswood- /Fernridge and having read die report on why the Willowbrook area should be first developed I decided to attend these meetings and see what was going on. The March meeting was so full Uiat many people left after seeing Uiere was no room left, even to stand in Uie hall 0 watched Uiem come in and leave). One speaker talked about high taxes in Brookswood area, some argued about why our area was not being considered, one asked who was on the planning committee and where they got Uieir facts. I was more Uian mildly surprised when die rebuttal from Councillor Burton contained mainly a defense on die poor volunteers who were being accused of not doing their job when Uiey volunteered Uieir time for doing a community service. I was even more surprised when I read Uie letters in Uie Langley Advance and Langley Times, defending die volunteers. My major question is: where were the answers to die more pertinent questions raised by all the speakers? After diis meeting, I had to attend the April 10 meeting, just to see if Uiere were going to be any answers wiUiout skirting around die major issues. I guess Uiat's not how municipal halls work. We had some speakers Uiat were in favour of the Brookswood development, and Uiis time we had some against. A member of Uie trailer court in the area seemed to fear the development, stating die negative influence it would have on Uie area. Did he not consider the positives? Instead of a pub and grocery store, Uiere could be more commercial areas wiUi extended facilities for the neighbourhood, making shopping and other services more available to . the elderly residents of die trailer courts. Another speaker against development in Brookswood was an owner of property around die lake. I can fully understand his concerns: - "Greedy property owners" want their properties developed. That might lower the value of Uie lake properties. Though I really can't understand how building will effect the lake, since waste would be handled by a sewer instead of going di- recdy in the ground via septic systems, and storm runoff could be handled by storm drainage pipes instead of pushing dirt from one area to another. Schools could be a problem, but cooperation between the School Board, Township and developers in the area, although probably unthinkable at Uiis time, may be an effective solution. The people in Brookswood who are for development are also aware die cost of sewer could be gready decreased due to the offer by the proposed golf course on Zero Avenue to put in a sewer and water line. Personally, I would like to see Langley grow. It's a beautiful community in which to raise children and to live. I can see the traffic problems developing Brookswood could create. But Highway 1 is not the only freeway many of us use. The Alex Fraser and Highway 99, wliich are accessible by 16 Avenue and 32 Avenue, are also weU travelled. Is it possible to make an agreement with developers and Surrey to either widen these roads or add a few traffic lights? These statements are my opinion only and I would appreciate any response or further information, for or against development in this area. SUSAN NICHOLSON, Langley Editor, The Star, Sir, The recent media coverage of Uie GVRD's Drinking Witer Annual Report has generated a large number of calls to the Lower Mainland health 'unit offices. We have had calls from odier parts of Canada and the United States about the safety of our drinking water and so I am writing Uiis letter on behalf of the Lower Mainland MHOs to put Uie facts before the public. First and foremost our water in Uie Greater Vancouver area is safe to drink. Tlie GVRD's Water Quality Annual Report states that very low levels of Cryptosporidium have been found in a small percentage of samples taken in 1994. Since our mountain watersheds are highly protected and con- troUed from activities that increase Uie potential for contamination from Cryptosporidium (human and agriculture activities), diere is litde potential for contamination of the water supply. Just because Uie oocysts are found, does not mean Uiey are infectious to humans. Greater Vancouver's water" comes from the mountains and our sewage goes to the sea. The two do not mix and dierefore Uiere is noUiing to worry about as was Uie case in Milwaukee in 1993- There is no medical evidence to suggest diat the water supply is at all related to the background level of Cryptosporidium in our community. Cryptosporidium is mainly spread dirough animal droppings, animal handling, faecal handling, petting zoos and sexual contact. Cryptosporidium is a reportable communicable disease in B.C. and according to die B.C.Centre for Disease Control, • no outbreaks associated widi drinking water have been documented in B.C. to date.. If water was a transmitter, die number of cases would have significandy increased. This is not die case. While it is true HIV positive people do get Cryptosporidium more often Uian otiiers, we are not experiencing an increase in numbers in this group. It is highly probable Uiat Cryptosporidium has been in our water supply for a long time. We simply have the means due to technological improvements to measure with a finer level of detail today. Drinking botded water is not necessarily a safeguard against. Cryptosporidium. The parasite is found throughout North America's and the world's water. Similarly, home filtration systems provide no guarantee that Cryptosporidium is not present in die water. While Uie only truly safe metiiod for contaminated water is to boil it for a minimum of five minutes, this is not necessary in the GVRD. Clearly a great deal more research is necessary on Cryptosporidium worldwide. The American Water Works Association Research Foundation and Uie U.S. Center for Disease Control are currenUy conducting research. Nobody currendy can say what is the significance of low level findings of cysts. Based on outcomes, it is clear diat to date, die cysts found in die GVRD's water lias not caused outbreaks in our communities. We intend to participate in a large North American study to see if we can learn more about these findings. In conclusion, the water is safe to drink. Residents who have questions are encouraged to call the HealUi Office in their community or Uie GVRD's Water Quality Control line at 451-6010. DR.

Ikrincr th_» inrri-»_r_ihle ar Editor, The Star, Sir, Please join me in a little salutation to one of nature's most maligned, and yet most beautiful, flowers. In tlie springtime, this glorious expression of loveliness graces lawns, by-ways, fields and boulevards. The edges of die freeways are covered with a wonderful carpet of die most vivid yellow blossoms in a display that is unrivalled at any time of tlie year. Yet this "Lion King" of beauty is annually assaulted and attacked by gardeners who pour gallons of poisonous chemicals onto would-be pristine lawns in an attempt to "put nature upon die rack" and make her conform. Tlie absence in one's lawn of these flowers seems to be linked somehow with some sort of male fertility rite. The greener and more wee-free die lawn the more dominant the owner. To all those who would attempt - in futility - to scourge diis wonderful plant, that is a super source of vitamin C and an excellent addition to any salad, I say, dirow away your fertilizers and weed killers and admire die splendid spectacle while it lasts; then join me in a toast to a wonderful expression of nature's beauty and resilience. We will, of course, drink die toast with Dandy-lion wine. TERRY-LYNN STONE Aldergrove Don't let dogs roam Editor, Tlie Star, Sir, Congratulations to Monique Gaiazka for her excellent report of the devastating attack by two dogs on the flock of sheep at All Fours Farm in Aldergrove on the morning of April 8. The story and photographs left no doubt as to die magnitude of die loss, and tlie violence of the attack. While it has been stated that some 22 sheep and lambs have died, die total count cannot be estimated as yet, since many of die severely injured may succumb in spite of veterinary care. The history of diis nice flock of mostly Southdown sheep goes back a few years. On the morning of the 21st of June, 1987, a couple knocked on my door, wanting to enquire if I had lost a sheep, as one had strayed to their place. I went to see it, tiiinking I might recognize tlie breed and where it had strayed from, since it was not mine. After a couple of hours hunting die neighbourhood it was decided who the owner was^but there was no one home, so a note was left on the door. Meantime diat sheep had been given the best of loving care - in a nice pen widi grass, a bucket of water, and safety from predators. The owner came to collect it late that night. Brian Uphill and Johanna Rink decided then and diere that they just had to get one of those nice animals! Hence this flock began, and has been carefully developed over the years. These well-cared for sheep were mostly named pets, which makes the savage attack all die more heartbreaking. If irresponsible dog owners only realized how deeply these tragedies can hurt, surely they would do as die law says - keep dieir dogs on their own propert/, and always under care and control. It is sad that it is die dogs who pay tlie supreme penalty if caught in misdemeanours such as this. Thank you for bringing diis episode to tlie attention of your readers - it just may deter someone from letting their dogs roam.

The operation involves picking up bicycles from various locations throughout the Langley's, (Township and City) storing the bicycles in a secured area, cross checking with the R.C.M.P., record keeping and providing for disposition after a 90 day minimum storage period by public auction. Proposals are to contain details of the proposed operation and are to be submitted on a per bicycle cost basis. Additional information, criteria, and statistics can be obtained from Rod Edwards, Municipal Clerk, Township of Langley, 4914 - 221 Street, Langley, B.C., 533-6003. The City and Township reserve the right to decline any and all proposals. Proposals are to be submitted to the Municipal Clerk by May 12, 1995. Clerk's Department TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY Telephone: 533-6003 17-2 By NIGEL HANNAFORD Arguably the hottest show on television right now is the 'X Files', featuring two FBI agents dealing with weird stuff, aliens, possessions, UFOs and such like. When not slimed by ghosts or six-foot man eating mutant worms, they work their way through what is the received truth to modern America. An alien space craft crashed and the Pentagon has the bodies. Space aliens abduct people and do bizarre research on them. This or that fighter pilot crashed after intercepting a UFO but the Air •Force won't admit it. Five thousand people saw a UFO in the USSR and the Russians nuked the village where they lived. The pyramids were really built by astronauts and there was once a continent called Atlantis in the middle of the Adantic Ocean. And so on. It's a great show, of course. So too is 'Unsolved Mysteries', which occasionally dabbles with all of the above and 'Sightings' which is exclusively off into anything tantalizing but unprovable. Then there's 'Sea Quest', which rather to my surprise went into a second season. Surprise? Much of it was absurdly improbable, such as the episode where the fearless Captain Bridger visits the wreck of a liner which has been sunk for diree quarters of a century to find diat tlie lights are still on and people survived for years in staterooms that remained un- flooded after the ship sank. The public j .having accepted that without a murmur, a recent episode has the submarine and its politically correct crew encounter the ancient god of the sea Neptune and restore to him his love Minerva by liberating her from some confinement with a volley of torpedoes. All in a day's work for the navy. And, of course, the grand daddy of them all, Star Trek, poses an endless array of different beings, all of whom have evolved along fairly standard lines, namely two arms, two legs, two eyes and one head, whatever inward differences they may be supposed to embody. As I say, some of diis is tripe and some of it is amusing tripe and just now and then, on one of die more serious programs, diere is presented something that is genuinely mysterious. (Not that there isn't a rational explanation, no doubt, but it has yet to be revealed). At one level, these programs are harmless enough but one cannot help but wonder at the extent of America's appetite for them. Consider the irony. Here is the world's most powerful, country, the undisputed leader in scientific research and accomplishment. They have landed men on the moon, devised a technology which allows events to be viewed as they happen half a world away, gathered more knowledge about the natural universe in the last 50 years than mankind had learned in its entire prior history. They routinely cure medical conditions which are certain death in much of the rest of the world, can stick a tiny camera on a fibre optic cable down your tiiroat and examine your breakfast and can even suppress the symptoms of the common cold for 12 hours at a time. One could write a whole page, listing the incredible and the astounding which the Americans have discovered and put to use. Every bit of it was sussed out by somebody trained to use the scientific method, as opposed to a dependence upon magic or fortuitous ooinscidence. With such a storehouse of knowledge at their disposal, with so much invested in the cold, harsh glare of reason, why would such a nation so delight in the stuff of fancy? For delight in it they do. A recent survey showed that many Americans really do believe that UFOs are spaceships from other solar systems. A smaller but significant group believes Elvis is still alive and to many more, reincarnation is an established fact. To put it as generously as possible, this all has still to be proved. This is not to say that there is no supernatural. God is by definition supernatural. However, the march of science reveals an orderly universe which is by no means incompatible with the mind of an ultimate creator. In this, science - real science as opposed to wishful thinking - is a bulwark to faith, for where diere is evidence of Design, there must be a Designer, right? The, ah, truth is out there, so to speak. As for the rest of it, though, the paranormal, the conspiracy theories and die aliens doing doughnuts in wheat fields ... I just hope diat a consistent diet of such material will not over time render us a credulous prople in bondage to an updated form of superstition and fatalism. Maybe the FBI should investigate who is pushing this stuff. (Mr.Hanna ford is publisher of the Alberni Valley Times) TIRE STORES Marshal **8«* TIRES From.

Interior Pirates keep on sailing ALDERGROVE - The Western Line Painting Bruins Atom "A" team went to Osoyoos for the Easter long weekend and put on a good display of hockey. We arrived in Osoyoos on Thursday afternoon ready to play a game at 7:30 that night against Fernie. The game was a very close yet frustrating- game for Aldergrove because goals would prove to be tough to get diroughout this tournament. The Fernie goalie played a game like he has never played before (this according to the parents from Femie), and the Bruins were able to get only one shot past him ending the game as a three to one game. The Bruins outplayed Fernie quite badly but in tlie end the loss is what counted. This put on tlie "B" side of die tournament and in line to play Langley in our next game Friday. This game against Langley turned out to be a good match as well . with the game going right down to the final buzzer before the Bruins could claim a 2-1 victory. Again goals were hard to get although we seemed to have alot of chances but as always Langley put up a good fight Next we played' another Lower Mainland team from Ridgemeadows. This game would prove to be one of the toughest games (at least on Uie parents and fans') as it was a game that went end to end as well as staying tied dirough most of die game and that's tlie way it ended, TIED. So it was into 5 minute sudden death overtime. This also ended in a tie, this time it would be sudden deadi with no goalies. What a tough time to sit Uirougli (I had to take several walks). Aldergrove ended up scoring about 3 and a half minutes into diis period to end tlie game. This put us into die playoff for the winner of the "B" side of the tournament and this game would be against Penticton. This game was a well played game by die Bruins and they ended up winning by a score of 5-3- The Bruins were able to bring home some nice trophies. Wiy to go team. While we were there, Uiere was a skills competition which the Bniins won and we were presented tlie prize at Uie opening ceremonies. So our team represented Aldergrove very well diroughout the weekend. The players played well as a team and I have no doubt in my mind Uiat we could have won the "A" side if it had not been for that first goalie. Our boys had lots of fun (so did the parents') dirough Uie week- New to the area?

We played golf, fished, rode horse back, hiked, had a big barbecue and did many other things in Uiis weekend. Our ride home was very pleasant, everybody was tired and feeling happy about the time we had just had, yet feeling a litde sad Uiat our year with the Western Line Painting Bniins was over. We had just had made some new friends, had a lot of fun and now could hardly wait for next year. (It will come very fast) I would like to thank several people for this successful year.

After years of fighting for the upgrading of our main ballpark we now have a field we can be proud of. With the drainage problems solved we are able to play immediately after a rainfall rather than having give up our fields to the ducks and seagulls for a few days. And what a treat it is for the Midgets and Bantams to have a home field! As Aldergrove Minor Baseball continues to grow each year, we are, this year, able to put together three Bantam teams. With Uie fielding of an extra team, and the usual rotation of players as Uiey move up tiirough the divisions according to their age, there has been a greater than usual shi/ting of players. As each player feels his way with his or her new team mates, and each team works at getting a feel for the other teams, the season begins to take shape.

Engineering Department TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY Telephone: 533-6144 16-2 School's silver year marked by orchestra trek to I Langley LANGLEY - The Community Music School is marking its silver anniversary in May with a variety of events, including a sold-out performance of the \&neouver Symphony Orchestra at VC&lnut Grove Secondary School on May 17. LCMS president Tom Scottnicki told municipal council, Monday, that the school had flourished in tlie past 25 years, thanks to the support of the city and township. Since opening their arts centre in 1969, they have grown to 700 weekly students, taught by 34 faculty members. Two of their scholarship winners performed in the lobby of <x>uneil chambers that evening. The VSO concert will feature one of LCMS's former piano students, Lila Gailling in Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue, under the baton of Clyde Mitchell. The school is hosting a May 13 open house, along with a number of concerts in May. He asked council to declare May 15 to 20, Langley Community Music School \Ceek. Councilors also discussed the proposed cultural centre for the Murrayville area, which the township expects to be operational in two and a half years' time. A report from tlie township's task force is due in June or July. Coun. Muriel Arnason cited a long list of proposed facilities currently under discussion ~ "gallery, studio, recital hall..." — and noted that "long term borrowing" is part of this discussion. '\tfe should beware." Coun. Heather McMullan said diese are all "ideas floating around... we're looking at tlie largest picture we can." Coun. Steve Burton said "dollars had been put away" for die project and asked whether borrowing would be necessary. Township engineer Pat Anderson said diat council has set aside $3-million for the first phase, but the task force strategy would be viewed prior to spending approvals. He noted diat council's pledge of $2 for every $1 raised by On-Stage Langley was only an "incentive, not a final formula" for the centre financing.

Now a Nashville superstar, Mattea is one of the headliners at the '95 Mountain Music Festival who has made bold new country out of a variety of sources. "Country music «?an cover so much ground now without losing its Identity as country," said Mattea. "Folk and bluegrass formed my roots. Yet it was always a quirky, earthy kind of thing. A lot of bluegrass I played, for example, was that music Bang a gong, beat the skins VANCOUVER - Music West made the Guinness Book of Records last year, when a 1,388 guitarists hammered out the chords to Takin1 Care Of Business for better than an hour on the steps of Robson Square. On May 13, they hope to have at least 1,400 drummers play for at least 75 minutes on the same steps. The site is also the location of this year's Music West conference. The World's Largest Drum Circle is partly a promotion of their Celebration of Rhythm, and special guests include Sal Ferreras, Alex Acuna and many others from ethnic groups such as First Nations, Japan, African and Celtic countries. Everyone is welcome to this free event, but full-size kits are not desired ~ a snare, handdrum, shaker or other percussion instrument is all you need. Registration begins at 9 a.m., with the beat going strong from noon till whenever the will gives in. "Ninety minutes should not be a problem," said Ferreras, "In fact, stopping the drumming may be the problem." A drum sdieck will be offered at Robson Square so that the drummers can then attend Music Show '95 inside. given a progressive treatment, what people call 'New Grass.' That's what southeastern college kids were listening to then. When the Grateful Dead made a blue- grass album, we knew the whole thing, cover to cover." When Mattea's unusually rich and coherent alto hit Nashville, they told her she was a country- pop singer, but, "I couldn't make that work, I couldn't make that believable on record." She linked up with another disillusioned country writer and producer, Allen Reynolds, and the chemistry produced six albums between 19«34 and 1991 Uiat took her to the top of the charts without compromising her artistry. Heartfelt narratives like Love At The Five And Dime and Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses proved her commercial wisdom and established a new country-folk fusion. This evolved into hits like Where've You Been, which gave Mattea a Grammy and female vocalist of die year awards. Her resdessness led to a trip to Scodand in 1991, where she recorded Time Passes By widi Dougie MacLean, then back to Nashville for 1992's Lonesome Standard Time, where she explored rhyUim even deeper. These days she's happier and busier dian ever, no longer shy about her eclectic interests now that country's scope has expanded further. She's recendy done tributes to Hank Williams and the Beades, as well as a Jackson Browne classic, Rock Me On The Water, on the AIDS benefit album, Red Hot + Country. Her recent album is Good News, a mix of folk, bluegrass, pop, liturgical, gospel and rock styles blended into a country Christmas theme. Her latest album is Walking Away A Winner, finding her stretching further, giving tremendous voice to intensely arranged songs diat take a less "acoustic" style. "I think there's a danger when you've been doing diis for a while of listening to your voice instead of the song. 1 believe diat when you do that, you become a caricature of yourself, a puppet of die voice. An honest reading of die song is the best thing I diink I can try to bring to music. In the past sometimes I've worried that it wouldn't be enough. But that's what I do." r MERRI $ba%Wi\ 3HX_JDJUitynSK IfpJSIC FESTIVAJP Sulyp3 • 14 • 15 • 16,1995 Enter To Win!

I found such a quality in While You \Cfere Sleeping. This sweet, romantic comedy was captivating. Lucy (Sandra Bullock) is lonely. Her mother died when she was young and her father died last year. She quit school to help out her father and took a job working for the Chicago Transit Authority. She's still thsfre^lov- ingly toting aro.und her passport in her handbag, dreaming about maybe, someday, getting a stamp in its barren pages. Then, there is the little matter of being in love with one of the regular el-traih passengers. She looks forward to seeing him (Peter Gallagher) every day but she doesn't know his name and they have never spoken. In any case, she's positive that he is perfect. On Cliristmas day Lucy has to Blocks and cuts FORT LANGLEY - Artistic expression tiirough woodblocks and linocuts has been around for hundreds of years.

And before the mixup is resolved, his family, Uie Callaghan's, think she's the greatest and welcomes her into their lives. Suddenly Lucy isn't lonely, she has a family, at least until Peter awakes from his coma. There's a glitch in the system, Peter has a brother and Lucy soon likes him better. So, while her supposed, soon-to-be husband lies in a hospital bed, Lucy and Jack are falling in love. Tlie story is set up so beautifully that audiences can't help but have a positive response to it. We get to know Peter and there's not much besides Uie wrapping to like, and we get to know Jack and he's a nice person and the rest of the Callaghan's are a goofy lot, but Uiey are a family and they love Lucy. ■Sandra Bullock is delightful. She takes command of her character and makes us believe. Bill Pullman is terrific. The chemistry Uiese two share had me blubbering like a fool, wliich makes a great segue to mentioning Bullock's upcoming video release. Look for her in A Fool and His Money coming in late May, where she plays "an attorney wiUi a heart of gold." You may want to check her out in another silly, romantic comedy, Love PoUon #9, yep, it's based on die song.

The current site, next to Municipal Hall, would Uien be given a "minimal level of landscaping pending Uie results of Uie environmental audit by M.M. Dillon Ltd." A portion of the Parks and Equipment was unloaded and put into place under the watchful eye of Lome, when he was changing the former drycleaning store into Courtesy Cleaners at Countryside Mall. A look at Countryside's happy faces Recreation, Pur<_hasing and Operations departments will be relocated to the new Operations Centre. Some of the space vacated in Uie annex will Uien be renovated for a training and first aid room, while plans are "developed to consolidate .the common areas in the Municipal Annex to provide for future expansion space." The former School Board building, which the township acquired in a land swap, will be leased to B.C. Buildings Corporation, and plans continue for incorporation of the expanded new Municipal HaU in die first phase of a Cultural C«2ntre in the MurrayvUle area. Otter horse trail gets rough ride OTTER - A proposed horse trail link to South Otter Park heard more opposition at Monday's township council meeting. Garnet and Nancy Wolchok wrote council to express <x>ncern about a horse trail on the steep area near 250 Street. Couns. Steve Ferguson and Muriel Arnason said Uie elevation was too steep, even with switchbacks, for horses to safely travel that stretch of the proposed trail. Coun. Heather McMullan said anodier valid concern was how close the trail would come to residences, within ten or twelve feet: "Vfe should stop Uiis process now; I'm not comfortable with it." Councilors decided to await a staff report and further meetings wiUi residents on both sides of Uie issue.

APRIL 26,1995 15 SHOPPING CENTRE Seniors despair terror By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - News get worse each week it seems. How could anyone justify killing litUe innocent children in a day care centre? The sorrow Uiat Uie people of Oklahoma City are enduring is beyond comprehension, and still life goes on. There are plenty of Uieories as to the reason such a heinous act could occur but nothing has been proven. This is the week of Uie Choral Group Concert Whist party and monthly Pot Luck dinner, so what with dances twice a week, Bridge once a week as well as Carpet bowling, our OAP hall is a busy place. Though Uie Blood Donors Clinic is also this week, it is not held at Uie OAP hall but rather at the Canadian Forces Station, but many OAP members help there also. If you are looking for a good family type show to attend consider Circle of Friends playing in Clearbrook. There is no violence or foul 'language as is found in so many shows nowadays. Bridge winners at last week's games were Ralph Peterson with a score of 6790; Gladys Peters wiUi 5040; Margaret Collins had 4880 and Renee Rawley fourth wiUi 4570; John Arnason won Uie draw. The Pot Luck last Sunday night had fewer people Uian usual, but everyone enjoyed the dinner, and whatever your preference 'was you could chocxse between carpet bowling, shuffle- board, cribbage or Uiirty-one; so made for an interesting evening. On Wednesday forty-nine were out for dancing. The 50-50 draw was won by Fred Miller, Millie Bennett, Pat Sorochan and Dorothy Bright. Only one spot dance on Wednesday and Uie winners were Shirley and Del Overbeck. Two birthdays were celebrated, by Cliff Anderson and Bill Lackonick. It was a real good dance Saturday with over a hundred dancers. Music was provided by Uie Valley Ramblers. Door prizes went to Edna Moffatt and Shirley Mitchell. I only got winners for one of the spot dances. They were Henry and Thelma. Lots of 50-50 winners, Saturday. The were Ann Marie Jesse, Chuck Bright, Chris Lockhart, Pat Sorochan, Mary Sanderson, Al Lane and Millie Bennett. Cards were sent to two dancers, Herb Parker and Mervyn Nerbus. One visitor called in to renew acquaintances before leaving for Montreal. This week the Abbey Old Time Band is playing for both dances. An interesting service I attended Sunday was Uie dedication of Uie tulip bed at the United Church. Last fall tulips were planted through donations offered in memory of Uiose lost overseas. I Uiought it aU very fitting. There was a short talk on how the tulips came about to be planted; a fellow who was liberated from HoUand by the Canadian Forces spoke of Uie joy felt by Uie People of HoUand when the Canadian tanks roUed in. Gay Harrigan gave the history of Uie Dutch Royal family, Uie Legion took part and pastor Ken Dean did the dedication exercise and prayer. The Tulip Tribute shore to shore was quite touching. I think Uiis must be Uie news of Uie week. This quote by Andre Maurois seems rather appropriate for we seniors at Uiis time of year: "Growing old is no more Uian a bad habit which busy people have no time to form."

BURNABY - Twelve of 16 GVRD parks Uiat were open to the public recorded an increase in the number of visits last year with three of them having increases over 50 per cent from the 1993 totals. Tynehead Regional Park in Surrey recorded an increase of nearly 80 per cent, to 202,761 visits, due largely to new access points and new facilities at Uie 260 hectare park. At Matsqui Trail Regional Park in Abbotsford, visits were up 55 per cent to 234,077, the result of improved facilities and additional monitoring devices. Visits to Kanaka Creek Regional Park in Maple Ridge jumped 50 per cent to 211,506. There have been major additions to die park's attractions on Uie Fraser River waterfront section. Total visits to aU open regional parks (the GVRD has two parks, Glen VaUey and Widgeon Slough Reserve, that are not yet fully opened to public use) were up 98 per cent in 1994 from the previous year to just short of 5,000,000. That's a record for regional park attendance. Capilano River Regional Park on the North Shore is still the single most popular with 954,517 visits, almost unchanged from the year before. It was foUowed closely by Belcarra Regional Park near Port Moody with s36l,458 visits, up 26 per cent.

Recently I was discussing investment strategies widi an Aldergrove Coupe who were trying to reduce die amount of taxes, they pay on investment income. They were particularly •df&nayed that a bond they had purchased from a bank two years ago, advertised as a guaranteed rate of 8%, actually yielded only 4% after their taxes were applied. They felt they had been misled, but I reminded diem that what they should really be looking for is an investment that yields the best After Tax Yield. We discussed die different types of bonds and die different ways Uiey are taxed. This couple had purchased a GIC at par ($100) diat paid interest twice a year and yielded 8% annually. Since the income from Uiis bond was entirely interest, it was taxed as one would expect - at the tuples' marginal income tax rate. I dien showed diem a perfectly Yes, you too are needed! LANGLEY - Volunteer Week is now. Would you like to give some meaning to your own life while at die same time help those who need you? Due to die funding shortage of our healdi care system, volunteers are needed now more Uian ever before. If you are able to contribute a few hours per week toward the ■welfare of the Langley Hospital contact Margaret Eaton, 533-6412. legitimate and legal way of keeping more of the returns from Uieir bonds than expected, thereby increasing Uieir after-tax yield. To do this, I explained, they need to purchase bonds that contribute income through capital gains, rather than through interest. These are called discount bonds, and offer (he same safety and semi-annual payments as GICs or other regular bonds. The difference is that in addition to paying par value for your inoney, Uiey also pay a capital gains component which is taxed at a preferential rate. The couple looked a little confused, so I calculated a real example (rates are for illustration purposes only). I compared their bank GIC to a better Province of British Columbia 5-40% January 18, 1999 bond selling for a price of $90.75 to yield 8.25%. Their after-tax yield, taking into account the $925 capital gains, works out to be 4.50%. They would have to buy a 4 year GIC with a rate of 9% to generate the same yield for Uieir money. This is because only 75% of Uie capital gains is taxable at their marginal tax rate., They now understand how to use tax rules to work in Uieir favour and were amazed at how much money they would have earned had Uiey not gone after the supposedly better return.

APRIL 26,1985 Electronics teacher fuses experience with real life STORY BY NANCE M1CHELBRINK AND TIM ATTWOOD ALDERGROVE - Tlie bell rings, and senior electronics students file into the classroom and begin working without giving a second look to Uieir teacher, who sits in Ills office with a. reporter and photographer team. Lindsey Langill, who has been teaching electronics and' robotics at Aldergrove Commu-nity Seoondary for seven years, stresses the importance of problem-solving, by making the students responsible for their own learning. Langill encourages students to recognize and solve problems diemselves. "I try to give them the basic skills to set up and get on the right track. If a student continually asks me what to do next, either they have failed or I have failed. It's most likely I have failed," Langill said. He begins the process of self- learning by telling his grade eight students that in grades nine, ten or eleven their lives would have to take on ownership, responsibility, direction and focus. "I start with these kids in grade eight. I turn on a few and get a bunch in grade nine, then some accept career prep," Langill explains. "They get so turned on by electronics! It's so neat to see. Now Uiey don't need me that much," he says, gesturing toward liis grade 12 class. "They can set it up and go and do it. We help Uiem at one level but as Uiey get older we try to wean ourselves away from diem and let them think on their own". Aldergrove Community Secondary school's electronics program is still dominated by boys, and Langill admits to fighting die gender issue. "There's still the tiiinking Uiat girls don't belong here." he says. "but Uie girls who cross diat line come in and do very well!" Tliree girls are working at the senior level, and female enrolment is growing in the lower grades. Langill believes it necessary for everyone to have some degree of electronics knowledge in today's world. He recently spent a week in Vancouver writing curriculum for a new course called Applied Skills 11. The course will involve physical edu - cation, business education, tech- ed' (electronics) and home eco - nomics. It will become a general course, which all students must take before graduating. Unfortunately many school districts outside of the Lower Mainland have no advanced electronics training programs, which are expensive to operate and hampered by a lack-of qualified instructors. Surrey and Abbotsford school districts are offering advanced electronics training, but students have to change schools to participate in die program, whereas (tech-ed) students at Aldergrove Community Secondary and Langley Senior Secondary schools can get die training they want while still participating in their .school's sports teams and odier activities. It also enables them to stay with their friends. "As a person who's dedicated to teaching and teaching electronics, I really feel saddened electronics is not taught in more secondary schools across the province. The whole focus of education is to give a person a sense of well being — a career - you know to fulfil that inner need of success," Langill said. The Aldergrove program has produced several award-win- • ning students. Kevin Atkinson won the Presidents Award, graduated from BCIT and is working for Phone Masters, a large telecommunications firm in Alberta. Mark Messmer, who Langill says is probably his best student in seven years, won the Shad Valley Award last year. That award is sponsored by several targe telecommunications companies, and it is only given to a limited number of students across Canada. Applicants must have a high grade point average in both technology and academic areas and they have to be sponsored by a teacher. The application must include three letters of reference, and students must be involved in their community. Once those requirements are met, the student moves to the second phase, interviewing with prospective companies. Sponsor companies pay nearly five thousand dollars sending a student to a six-week course Uiat is held over the summer, followed by a practicum with the sponsor company. Messmer chose BC Hydro after being courted by two companies, and when he completed his practicum, the hydro giant told him Uiey were impressed, and Uiey would be following his progress diroughout university, hoping he would consider a position with therri upon completion. "I Uiink we've had some very, very good students come dirough our electronics program at Aldergrove Secondary," Langill said. Aldergrove electronics students get several opportunities to show off by competing annually in electronics competitions at Kwanden College and BCIT. Pat McMorris, Peter Hampton, and Sean Ryan have competed in a number of electroniscs competitions, and now die grade 12 students are building a robot Uiey hope will find a place in industry, doing surveillance work. When we enter the classroom, Sean, Pat, and Peter are testing stepper motors that were taken from a pile of assorted computer parts donated by Panther Computers in Aldergrove and Compu-care in Langley. Not all of the parts in die donated equipment are working when the team removes Uiem, becoming a project themselves. ""'Ryan spent tliree months repairing and testing stepper motors, used to power computer disc-drives. He concluded the stepper motors had 400 steps per revolution, making Uiem extremely accurate. However, he discovered Uiey didn't have much power: they were trying to get a rating using a weight and pulley system. Two motors will drive the robot, which will be about the size of a modern camcorder on wheels, and a tiiird will operate an on-board camera. The robot will have mapping ability, which means it will be able to chart its location as it moves tiirough a building or a large industrial yard. An operator, sitting at a computer terminal in a central location, will be able to direct die robot into a building or a dark corner, turn on its light and view the area, using die on-board camera.

FUNDAMENTALS New high school nixed for'95 By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - The proposed Fundamental high school will not be going ahead diis year, despite an excellent feasibility study indicating that it could. More than 70 parents and students, wearing ribbons in support for die school, attended last week's board meeting, but the bottom line is that the school does not have the minimum 100 students registered that are needed to start a school. Trustees said that with their current financial situation, and the $3 million dollar deficit, it is unlikely Uiat money will be found for the project this year. Trustee Diane Pona said that die feasibility study for the school is wonderful and innovative, but she wants to know where die money would come from, if die school is to start diis September. Vice-chair Chris Petipas is saddened Uiat Uiere are not enough students at diis time, but hopes next year diere will be. She also hopes diat administrators will continue to work on this very important project. Chair Linda Moir said diat die proposal is good, but this is not Uie place nor time for it. She instructed staff to come back to Uie board with more options in die early fall, allowing more time for plans to be implemented, if classes are to start in September 1996. She also cited current financial problems, and *sa_o_ the board needs options for die future, when such a project can be carried out. Fundamental schools have been operating at die elementary level in Langley for 19 years and parents are trying to extend diem to die secondary level to keep Uieir kids in die district. At present a majority of die students go into private institutions or to odier districts witii fundamental schools such as Abbotsford and Surrey. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 26,1995 19 NEW IN TOWN?

Liberal leader Gordon Campbell has announced that pensions for Members of die Legislature will be eliminated under a B.C.Liberal government. Campbell said, "It's time to put an end to the special pension and tax privileges that have traditionally been given to MLAs in British Columbia. Elected officials should be treated no differ- endy dian any odier British Columbian-when it comes to receiving pension benefits from taxpayers. The MLA pension is not appropriate for a job diat's based on an elected term of five years." Under the current system, endorsed by Reform and die NDP, an MLA can receive a mondily pension if the member has served for seven years or more or has served in more than two Legislative Assemblies. Water extension pondered ALDERGROVE - Water service has been extended in the north County Line Road area, and another local improvement petition will be held to determine resident support for extension along 60 Avenue from 268 SBreet to 26627 - 60 Avenue. Coun. Steve Burton questioned whether the extension should not be sought all the way to water mains at 264 Street, "seeing how it's this close." He said this link would enable better flushing of the mains. Engineer Pat Anderson pointed out that such a vote would likely fail, however. An earlier vote to extend water service as far as County Line Elementary School had failed to win the required two-thirds majority from affected residents.

Councilors moved by tribute to Ledoux THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 26,1995 21 ALDERGROVE - Councilors were moved by a tribute to the late Al Ledoux they received this week from Star seniors' correspondent, Maudie MacPherson. MacPherson conveyed thanks for township support of Ledoux's campaign for a pedestrian controlled crosswalk at 273 Street and Fraser Highway. Ledoux, a war veteran who used a motorized chair to get around town, had fought die highways ministry for many years because of his concern for seniors who had trouble crossing die intersection. "In February the light was installed," wrote MacPherson, "and Al was delighted and asked me to write to thank (the township) for making this possible. Al's memorial service was held die day die light went into operation ASK | ANNABELLE Last week a request came pouring in for a recipe for fat- free muffins. Although I do not have a recipe for such in my large collection of cook books, I did go to our local library on 29th Avenue and looked tiirough dieir fairly generous selection of recipe books. I photocopied three recipes I found interesting and here they are: The Nutri/System Flavor Set- Point Weight-Loss Cookbook Applesauce Walnut Bran Muffins Chewy muffing with lots of texture.

They were delicious but a litde on the chewy side. MCe liked them. Two more recipes follow that we did not try. Experiment by leaving out the oil, whole egg (use whites only) use less sugar if you want; it can't hurt. The health food store, just west of Hart's Video, also has an excellent pocket book on nothing but muffins ($1395) and stock all the healthy ingredients for them that you may not find in the larger grocery stores.

Star display ads are only $8.50 per column/inch 856-8303 Residents want historical Five Corners preserved MURRAYVILLE - Four resident delegations complained that a township proposal to eliminate the five corners was unnecessary and would lead to creating new problems for tlie area. Bill Jones, chair of Murrayville Residents Association, pointed out that other intersections had considerably more accidents than the historic five corners at 216 Street and 48 Avenue. "It works, let's not monkey with it." Range ofkecm for Nimrods p LANGLEY - Council has approved a soil deposit permit for the Rod & Gun Club property at 3854 - 208 Street, over the objections of coun. Muriel Arnason. Arnason cited environmental and agricultural concerns, but councilors agreed the work at the former gravel pit site would be positive on all fronts. The work includes a berm to reduce noise for meighbours, and would not have any impact on the urban Brookswood aquifer. He cited statistics from 1992 to 1994, wliich showed three accidents at five corners, with none of these during 1994. Meanwhile, the four-way stop at 216th and 56th saw some 15 accidents. Residents Simon walkley and Linda Seller pleaded for maintenance of the history and heritage of the community. "Five corners 4ss^over a century old," said Walkley. "It's one of only seven five corners in Canada. We're not being sentimental, but realistic when we say you're going to ruin the character and split the community with a major arterial intersection... You don't make history, it happens..." Sellers said she wanted bike lanes and sidewalks, "Not four lanes." Brian Steeles said that township expectations of increased traffic in Murrayville were leading to plans for a "future Langley bypass" in the area, which residents opposed. He argued that 192 Street was a more appropriate urban corridor. Councilors also received an eight page petition objecting to proposed changes to five corners. OWtier ordered: bulldoze, or else! LANGLEY - The absentee owner of derelict buildings at 8432 - 216 Street now has 60 days to bulldoze them and clean up the property, or tlie township will do it for tlie owners and send a bill for the service. If not paid by year-end, the amount will be added to die property taxes as arrears. Council passed a site-specific cleanup bylaw, Monday, in response to complaints from residents about die unsightly and dangerous property. The owners had earlier been given two weeks to have tlie buildings certified as sound, and sealed off to the public, but had not met this requirement. 'Alternatives' nixed LANGLEY - Council awarded a $147,328.36 contract to build a stormwater detention pond at 44 Avenue and 216 Street to Mainroad Contracting Ltd., despite tlie fact there were two tenders at lower prices. Administrators said the other two low bids, some $2,000 to $6,000 less than, .Mainroad's, were not acceptable because they did not fit the criteria. "The two apparent low tenders ... proposed alternative methods of construction" and did not submit a bid based on tender specifications. "Alternative" bids are considered only if submitted seven days prior to deadline, and this stipulation was not met by both contractors. GORDON - Kenneth Edward Gordon passed away April 11, 1995 in Victoria General Hospital after an accident in Nanaimo. He was 23 years of age. Ken was born in Calgary on Sept. 4, 1971 and at a young age moved with his parents to Vancouver where he grew up, attended school, and worked at various jobs as a teenager. In early '92 he came to Aldergrove to work with John and Sandy Stonehocker on the Thomas Carnival and several other carnivals over the next three years. Ken enjoyed the carnival lifestyle and will be remembered by many show people as a clean cut, well-mannered kid who did his work well and always made a positive impression on his fellow workers, supervisors, and the public. He worked on children's games and rides and was well- liked by hit little customers as well as their parents. Ken liked staying in Aldergrove with John and Sandy but in Nov. 94 the love bug pushed Ken onto a ferry so that he could join his girlfriend, Shirly Walker, in Nanaimo. Never the type to sit around, Ken found employment with an auto wercker In Nanaimo. With spring in the air Ken was torn between staying where he was and going on the road again. Ken is survived by his girlfriend Shirley Walker, his mother Linda and Ed Jenkins, father Thomas Roberts, brother Ron, sister Maureen, brother James, father Gerald Gordon, uncles and aunts, Larry and Rozanne Gerlitz, Gerald and Adel Gerlitz, Pat and JoeFagale, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Ken is missed and remembered by many special friends, among them Connie and Kevin Hudson, Inger Larson and family, Maxine Hall, Josie McMorris and family, Sue, Cory, and Jamie Walker, Carl White, Joyce, Irene, Leonard, and Janet Williams, and many others whom had been part of Ken's life. We said goodbye to Ken in the United Church in Aldergrove on Tuesday, April 18, 1995, with Pastor Dean offering prayers and words of comfort. Ken's friend Lea Fehr sang Amazing Grace and was accompanied by organist Sybil Borgal. Pall bearers were Ron Gordon, Larry Gerlitz. Mark Gerlitz, John Stonehocker, Stuart Stonehocker, and Chris Lawrence. Honorary pallbearers were: Kevin Hudson, Carl White, Gerald Gordon, James Gordon, and Jason Knight. Ken was laid to rest in Mt. Lehman Cemetery with the assistance of another of his friends, Ed Bussian, of First Memorial Funeral Services of Nanaimo. ^\ MasterCard VISA now we accept both The Aldergrove Star "lllegitimus non carborundum" WE'RE COMING TO YOUR HOME .BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HOME TO COME TO.

THE NATIONAL RED SHIELD APPEAL. 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 26, 1995 DOMESTIC ANIMALS LEFT IN COLD Wild critters 'protected' under bylaw Enviros want lagoons to stay LANGLEY - Vancouver animal rights activist Peter Hamilton lias been quoted as calling the township's Exotic Animal Bylaw "useless." Local farmers and pet owners shake their heads and wonder what's going on at the top of Murrayville hill. But the township now has die bylaw in effect, after a majority of four councilors, overruled the arguments of dissident councilors Steve Ferguson and Mel Kositsky, Monday evening. Mayor John Scholtens' also voiced skepticism over the bylaw, but only votes in event of a tie. Bylaw proponents, couns. Heather McMullan and Steve Burton have suggested that tlie sweeping bylaw is only a beginning, as amendments will be sought for stricter controls. That process may have already begun as a letter from John McGowan this week suggested that the bylaw require dogs to be tethered while carried in an open vehicle. Coun. Muriel Arnason pointed out that this would have to be handled carefully, as the unfortunate canines might strangle themselves or break their necks if they jumped out of a pickup truck while the owner parked it at home. The Motor Vehicle Act does not require seatbelts or restraining harnesses for pets and livestock while in moving vehicles. At their previous council meeting, McMullan and Burton had argued that turtles should be included on the bylaw's banned list, as tlie amphibians are common carriers of die salmonella bugs. This was defeated by the majority, however no one had pointed out that poultry, domestic or wild, are also common carriers of the disease and these are included in the bylaw as acceptable for ownership and trade. As a point of interest, Kositsky, Ferguson and Scholtens are the only council members who also own livestock (horses, llamas and sheep, respectively), while 80 percent of the township is widiin die provincial agricultural land freeze to preserve farmland. Kositsky argued that he could see "merit" in the bylaw for urban areas like Vancouver, but Burton told him he was "flogging a dead horse." McMullan said Tlie Sun's Nicholas Read recendy wrote diat die bylaw was a start and she accused the delegates who spoke in opposition of telling "lie after lie," as well as not being residents of the township. Kositsky and Ferguson took offense at these statements, but the bylaw is now law. Burton said he "hoped it would not be a fulltime job chasing" down infractions, as bylaw GVRD water safe: Mayor LANGLEY - Township mayor John Scholtens says GVRD water is "as safe as ever" for public consumption, and is tested regularly to ensure public safety. He said that recent reports, including last week's Cryptosporidia report, are coming out now because the tests have improved significandy. "We used to be only able to measure parts in millions, now we can measure parts in billions," said Scholtens. "The water quality hasn't declined, rather we're finding things we couldn't find before." Scholtens added that he continues the tradition of former mayor John Beales' opposition to logging in die GVRD watershed, in his attendance of GVRD water committee meetings. officersv.would only act on public complaints. "The agricultural community is not affected," by the bylaw, he added. The Greater Vancouver Zoological Centre in Aldergrove is exempt from the bylaw, while circuses which fea^ ture animals are specifically tar- getted. The bylaw prohibits performances involving wild or exotic animals. Sales are also banned unless a valid j4ermit or license is held. Definition of these animals is Worded as "any vertebrate, excluding fish, birds or non-ven omous amphibians or reptiles,, that normally lives in a wild or natural state and has not been subject to domestication through Selected or controlled breeding.
