ALDERGROVE - The Alder Grove Telephone Museum and Community Archives will be officially dedicated this Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. The Alder Grove Heritage Society invites everyone in the community to join the celebration at the historic FJ Hait/BC Tel Building in Kinsmen Heritage Park, 32 Avenue at 271 Street The society is preserving as much of the local history as their volunteers are able and have so far seen the publication of The Place Between, the moving and restoration of the Hart building and the Shortreed Cabin, and now the gathering and displaying of the telephone collection. This collection includes telegraph and linesmen equipment, switchboards, telephones and assorted items such as old phone books. This reflects the building's early use as Aldergrove's first telephone exchange, with much of the materials donated by members of the Telephone Pioneers. The building also houses archival information from the community, such as documents and photographs, which are being compiled by members. The building was first opened in 1910 as FJ Hart's real estate office, the Western Home & Improvement Co., along with a branch of the Bank of Toronto. BC Tel purchased it in 1912. The hours of operation are Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment Admission is by donation. 40 CENTS FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE NFW HFFHTAGF PI AN Conservationists look to our future LANGLEY - The local heritage preservation movement had a bit of a setback with the recent rejection of conservation designation of the Murrayville Five Corners area, but the push to save historic sites before they crumble to dust is still going strong. The township, along with heritage societies, are currently holding meetings in the community to get input on their draft Heritage Management Plan. These meetings in Aldergrove and Fort Langley will culminate with Thursday, June 20' s meeting at Murrayville Community Hall from 4 to 8 p.m. Langley Heritage Society's Fred Pepin, known as Mr. Heritage to many in the area for his tireless advocacy of preserving local history, told The Star Monday that he was unhappy about the way events turned out in the Murrayville effort. He observed that a lot of effort went into bringing all the parties and concerns together, in what he saw as a win- win situation, but after council's vote against the designation, all the problems are left unresolved. "We're back where we started," said Pepin. 'It's unfortunate, because we're no closer to fixing the intersection problems, saving the buildings or enabling future growth for the (Sharon United) church. I really believed we had the answers for all these issues." The display at Monday's open house inside Aldergrove Elks included photos and descriptions of more than a hundred landmarks, both private and public properties, and many were also included in the recent township heritage listings book. Pepin noted that two of them have already disappeared, including the Milner Community Hall which had been converted to a grocery store. This had been torn down, when the owner finally received permission to go ahead with redevelopment of the corner with a heritage theme. The owner hosted a community get-together last month in the former dance-roller skate hall upstairs, with proceeds going to the Milner Community Association. Pepin observed that it was unfortunate that the old balloon-frame construction was unsalvageable. "There was rot under the main floor, termites. The main floor was shot," said Pepin. "It's too bad we couldn't have just dropped the second storey down on a new foundation, because that was immaculate, but that would have been impossible. It happened because over the years the surrounding roads were built up and created a pool of water flowing in under the structure — when it was built there were three steps up to the main floor, but in recent years there was only one step up. That's what's happened to many old buildings in the area — everything literally gets built up around them, so mat they end up being Please turn to page 3 Hijacked bike retrieved ALDERGROVE - Bicycle shop co-owner, Heather Stare said employee Andrew Strijack went above the call of duty in retrieving a stolen $1,100 bike last Suspect in custody ABBOTSFORD - Police have arrested a 28 year-old man in connection with last Thursday's armed robbery of the McCallum Road Mr. Sub restaurant. A lone male entered the store on June 13, and asked the clerk for some change. When the till was opened, the suspect produced a hammer and ordered him into the back room. He then removed the money from the till and fled on foot There were no injuries. The next day, during a routine traffic stop, an officer noticed a hammer and greasy coveralls in the back of the vehicle. After further investigation the 'driver of the vehicle was arrested and charged with robbery and a drug offence. week, and she thinks he's a darling for it A young man came into the Street to Peak shop Friday afternoon and took the bike out on a test drive — with false identification. "He took off and we got suspicious, so Andrew followed him in a car. He found him and ran after him, but he'd already stashed the bike." Police had been called, but before they arrived, the thief told Strijack that the bike had been stolen from him, as well. Strijack didn't believe him, but the thief took off on the run again. Strijack caught up to him and convinced him to lead him to where he'd stashed it, in bushes behind the arena. The thief told a sob story about his hard times, and broke away again. Strijack was at least now holding the bike and was more concerned about returning it to the store in good shape to try another chase. 'Tf people here saw what was happening and couldn't understand it, now they know why," said Stare. 'T think Andrew's just wonderful and should be commended."

Panel fails to find solution Safeway stores remain closed as offer rejected VANCOUVER - Canada Safeway officials were informed, June 14, that the final offer vote taken across the province last week was rejected by employees of both companies. "We are extremely disappointed with the results of the vote," said Toby Oswald, vice president of public affairs for Canada Safeway Ltd. "It is obvious that our employees fail to understand the seriousness of the situation we face in this province. The results of the vote have not altered our fundamental need to achieve cost reductions which are essential to our survival in the British Columbia marketplace. We continue to be committed to achieving this goal." Prior to receiving notification of the final offer results, UPCW Local 1518 and Local 2000 declared an authorized strike against both companies. There are no plans to return to the bargaining table. The employees will remain in a strike/lockout situation, and the affected stores will remain closed New office opens on Glover Road LANGLEY - Chamber of Commerce will host a grand opening of their new offices and community information centre, on Friday, June 21, from 3 to 6 pm, at Unit T, 5761 Glover Road. This very special event will celebrate the completion of this facility which will serve chamber members, visitors and residents of the City and Township of Langley well into the future. There is no charge to attend, but reservations to 530-6656 are required. m UNITED OPTICAL "YOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" -Repairs -Lenses 'Quality Fashion Eyewear - Frames Eye examinations arranged By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Randy White, Fraser Valley West MP and Reform Solicitor General Critic, took to the television last Thursday night to talk about Corrections Canada with various officials and a local media panel. Corrections in Crisis? dealt with four major issues: prisoners' rights, drugs in prison, warehousing of inmates, and program effectiveness. The panel consisted of White, Matsqui Institution Warden Rodger Brock, former inmate Don Wilson, and Manager of Correctional Programs (Pacific) Harold Golden. The media panel included of Star reporter Monique Gaiazka, Abbotsford Times reporter Dixon Tarn, and Up Front Magazine reporter Rebecca Anderson. Tanya Charles-Tait was the moderator. Telephone reaction and participation was mixed, but many who called said the system needs to be reviewed, and the rights of victims should be at least equal to those of inmates. Callers were CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE 32500 South Fraser Way, Clearbrook 859-7115 generally supportive of the work White has been doing to support victims rights, and improve the corrections system, although one caller did refer to him as the 'moron' sitting next to Rodger Brock. Callers also agreed that drugs should be kept out of the system, which seems to be one of the biggest problems. Wilson said it is easier to get drugs and alcohol in prison than on the outside. A recent inmate survey of Corrections Canada reveals that more than half on Canada's inmates used drugs during the week the survey was taken, and 38% used drugs at least once while in their current institution. Use is highest at medium security sites and in the Pacific region. . Golden said they are trying to keep drugs put of the system as well as any type of contraband which includes candy, but even with increased security measures, such as ion scanners and drug sniffing dogs, it is still difficult Wilson added that diey have to get to the root of the problem, Teacher agreement ratified VANCOUVER - School boards have ratified the proposed transitional collective agreement between the British Columbia Public School Employers' Association and the British Columbia Teachers' Federation. The vote was 54% in favour of ratification. The province's teachers had earlier ratified the proposed transitional collective agreement "This sends a message to the teachers that we are willing to work: with them to find solutions which enhance the delivery of education to school children," commented Harv Palmer, BCPSEA chair. "This is a transitional collective agreement, which means that our real work is cut out for us - we still have to negotiate the first complete provincial agreement with teachers." Palmer also noted that not all school boards were in favour of the transitional collective agreement "We'll be working with our member boards over the next few months in order to address dieir short term concerns which the agreement failed to remedy." The transitional collective A day for Canada's aboriginals OTTAWA - Canada has declared June 21 National Aboriginal Day. On this day Canadians are encouraged to join together to recognize and celebrate the ongoing contributions Indian, Inuit and Metis peoples are making to this country. "June 21 is the summer solstice. It holds a special significance for many Aboriginal groups who already celebrate their cultures and heritage on the first day of summer," said Elijah Harper, MP for Churchill, Manitoba. 'Tt is a time for remembering the past, for participating in the present and building the future." In December 1995, Harper brought together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians for a Sacred Assembly to promote spiritual healing. A recommendation put forward by the assembly was the establishment of a national day of recognition for Canada's first peoples. agreement provides for a 2% wage increase over four years, as well as a number of processes designed to facilitate the negotiation of a complete provincial agreement with teachers. The transitional collective agreement is in effect until June 30,1998. which is the use and addiction. "If you remove the addiction then there is no use, no profit, and no drug," he said. However diis usually requires participation in some type of program, but Corrections officials are unsure of die success rate. A high number of inmates said diey take programs only to increase their chance of early parole. Another problem with programs is that they are not universal. An inmate who is transferred, may lose the successful program in which he/she participates, because it is not offered at all institutions. Everyone, who called the show to talk about inmates working, agreed they should work, but disagreed on what type of work should be done, what skills should be taught, how much inmates should get paid, and, if any, portion of wages earned should be used to compensate victims of crime. White proposed that at least 20% of inmate wages should be donated to victims funds. He also said that at some privatized prisons in the United States, there are joint ventures widi private industry to create useful jobs for inmates. Wilson said that it is easy to get a job in prison, but very difficult to find work upon release, which increases the chances for recidivism. There were no definitive answers form the debate, but the discussions did bring forward a number of issues that will be further examined in the future.

JUNE 19.1996 Mr. Heritage, Fred Pepin helped compile the township's heritage listings book - which sells for $18 - and is now working with the advisory committee on a local conservation program that will work to everyone's benefit. -Kurt Langmann photo Heritage plan... From front below street level." Pepin said heritage preservation is evolving and in many ways becoming a lucrative proposition for private owners, who have access to public funding without having to open their building to the public. Preservation does not necessarily mean having to use original materials, either, as "sympathetic" treatment alternatives are also allowed to retain the old-time flavour. He acknowledges that mistakes have been made in the past, but says advocates are learning from diem and avoiding repeats. He pointed out that while many new buildings have dipped in value recendy, the drop has not been as sharp for genuine heritage buildings. Relive the magic at Canada PlaceS! VANCOUVER - B.C.'s biggest Canada Day celebration at Canada Place has become even bigger this year. Continuing their enormously popular tradition of throwing a birthday party for the country, they will also host Expo Fest 96 - Relive the Magic at Canada Place. This three day weekend of fun, memories, and events marks the tenth anniversary of Expo 86. Scheduled to take place on June 29,30 and July 1, organizers are still accepting applications, from volunteers to help host and assist the expected thousands of visitors. The family orientated festivities will highlight sights and sounds reminiscent of Expo 86, including showings of popular films and non-stop live entertainment throughout the weekend at Canada Place. Individuals who would like to become a part of the Expo Fest 96 Volunteer Event Staff should call Double-E Promotions at 681-7701. Counterattack all through summer and fall ABBOTSFORD - Police here, and in 19 other Lower Mainland departments, will be participating in the enhanced counterattack program, from now until November 11. The program ran last year with great success, and this year it has been started a month earlier with doubled police participation. ICBC will be providing up to $5.4 million to cover enforcement and public education costs for the entire province. It is expected that two million drivers will pass through road blocks during the five month campaign, and 5,000 drinking and driving related charges will be laid. The program will save an estimated $15 million in ICBC claim costs and reduce drinking and driving accidents by as much as 20%. Locally, a seven hour multi- location road block blitz on June 8, resulted in 850 vehicles being checked and two impaired driving charges being laid. ■ In addition, one person was charged with failing to provide a breath sample, two people were charged with prohibited driving, 14 drivers were issued 24 hour roadside suspensions, 127 drivers were issued tickets, and two drivers were ordered to have a vehicle inspections. Police will be at various locations for the duration of the program focussing on sites near licensed drinking establishments and the Huntingdon border crossing. Drinking and driving, a year- round problem, is the leading cause of crashes on B.C's roads, and the cause of one third of traffic fatalities. Be safe, don't drink and drive! Looking back upon a distinguished career LANGLEY - Cancer claimed the life of Denny Ross last week while he was still in his prime. Rosa, passed away at Vancouver General Hospital, June 12, just four days after his 65th birthday. Few men have contributed as much to their community as Ross has over the 54 years he has lived in the Langley area. Born in Saskatchewan, Ross and his family came to Brookswood in 1942, where he attended Glenwood, Belmont and Murrayville elementary schools and Langley High School. After working in the woods as a logger and receiving his teacher's certificate from UBC, he began a career as an educator here, first at Otter elementary. He rose through the ranks and held a number of administrative positions at local schools, before "retiring" into political life as a school trustee. His first foray into the school board saw him easily win popular vote, many of those from the students he once taught. "Retirement's out of the question for Dad He just never sees the 'job' as being completed," said son, Tony, shortly after the election. 'He has always felt that there was something for him to contribute, something more to be done." Star publisher Rudy Langmann remembers Denny Ross as a highly motivated man, who came to ask if he could write a regular sports column for The Star 30 years ago, because he cared about promoting the healthy activities, and the kids, which he loved. Along with community-spirited people like Pete Swensson, Ross actively recruited and promoted youth into competitive events, such as boxing, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and soccer. Ross started coaching at Langley Boxing Gub in 1948, and started up Langley Track & Field in the '60s. Ross and Swensson could lay claim to giving high jump star Debbie Brill her early breaks in the Fraser Valley, which led to her outstanding record on the world's stage. Many others have fond memories of Ross, too, even if they didn't manage to break world records in their disciplines. Ross always related to the common, working folk, and supported labour causes, along with helping minorities through the school district's Aboriginal Awareness Committee and teaching English to new Canadians as a volunteer with Langley Family Services. Among his achievements were the Flowerdew trophy, Olympic medal and Canada 125 award, all for community service, and the Chieduch trophy for soccer contributions. He also served the Canadian Teachers' Federation in teacher education in third world countries. He is survived by bis wife of 43 years, Marjorie, four children: Tony (Val), Heather, Charlotte, Bryant (Marge), seven grandchildren, his mother, sister and broth- Think positive Keep smiling.

At the end of the Second World War, Canada was the world's third leading industrial country. Fast changes give statisticians headaches and they no longer are able to provide current facts. Who knows where we stand now? Chances that once came slowly have turned into a tsunami that is overwhelming traditional sources of statistical accuracy. My last reliable figures show Canada between 12th and 16th, depending on variable criteria. But we can tell you about other countries moving much faster. We know about the wealth of Japan, which is bouncing back fast and will surge again in the near future. We can see what the wealth of Hong Kong is bringing to Vancouver and other parts of the world. Since Taiwan released another $2.8-billion for citizens to invest overseas, we see their wealth and wisdom arriving here. Singapore and South Korea are making investments in North America and elsewhere. Even Malaysia and Thailand are establishing beachheads in other countries. Recently events in China have been creeping into public consciousness. They have created one million millionaires in the last three years (it took America two centuries to accomplish the same ■ feat). But are you up-to-date on 'India? See^f you'can swallow this: The New Delhi-based National Council ot'Applied Economic Research India has just 'grown' more than 577,000 'rupee millionaires' with 78,000 earning more than US $200,000 a year. That provides not only an annual income of more than $40,000 but with the buying power high income commands in' India, they really could be classified in at least the half-million-US dollars-a-year bracket In other words, they are living better than us. Do you have six servants, and a 12-room house? Why not? Just five years ago most of these people were lost or hidden in the dust of that large subcontinent. Today they are enthusiastically moving into higher brackets. They have learned how the new world order functions. Canadians think things will revert back to what they always were when we stood tall. Now with less than one-half of one percent of the world's population (as against India with a current population of 930 million, expected to grow to 1.455 billion by the year 2025) Canadians do not realize what is happening. India today is pushing China, which already has 20 percent of the global population. India has almost 17 percent of the world's people today and will be equal to China's current population in the next 30 years. Only by then a much larger percentage will be wealthy. The economic growth rate in India has been at the six percent level since 1990. Foreign investment, just $100 million annually in the 1980s, may reach US $2-billion in 1996 and exports have doubled already. Grain production has increased 36 percent since the 1980s; India has become the second largest milk producer (after the US) and the second largest vegetable grower (following China). But what about the 20 percent of India's poorest? They have purchased nine million bicycles, 7.5 million radios and 21 million watches in the last 1,500 days. But population does not alone make an economic powerhouse. India is more than that. Many of their business class speak English, the language of world business. Their educated have always been overeducated for available jobs in the past Not so today. Many of the world's top computer programmers today are Indian. Microsoft alone is hiring about 400 a year. Other companies are noticing their abilities - and still relatively low wages. They may still be in India, but their talents now flow into any country via electronics and Internet. In other words, they don't have to emigrate anymore to win the lottery. What may come, as we move into a more complex world, is tlie almost genetic ability to handle complexity that appears born, widiin many Indians who mingle duly in their own crowded worid, now approaching a billion souls (with 18 official languages, 1,652 dialects, 26 states, six major religions). They may have already learned something we may never understand. Only in politics does India have alarming unresolved problems. They likely will not be solved politically, at least not by the present democracy. A recent survey showed that Indian politicians came in just ahead of domestic servants and prostitutes in the eyes of voters. And Ottawa thinks it has troubles. It's simply a matter of the right attitude By IAN CAMERON Attitude has a lot to do with whether a person succeeds or fails in life, and sadly to say, many do not have the right attitude. Unemployed people, for instance, should understand that the government is never the answer to their problems. When political leaders talk about "jobs, jobs, jobs" they are only talking about themselves and their closest friends. Here's what I would do if I became unemployed: First, I would look at what I have to offer. The advertising LETTERS |_aw founc| unconstitutional Concert to remember Editor, The Star, Sir, Thank you for your generous contribution to the "Opera in the Country" performance of June 8. The success of the program was brought about by the cooperative efforts of many people. Our young musicians are encouraged when they know local businessmen, like yourselves, support them. We appreciate the many extra hours you spent working on this production in order to bring it all together. The evening was most enjoyable and successful in many ways. This concert will long be remembered as a highlight by both the Aldergrove community and our young musicians. The donations which we received that evening are very much appreciated and needed to help our students in many ways. Festival fees, travel expenses, instruments and uniforms are just the beginning of a long list of items uiat are covered by society fundraising and donations. Again, please accept our thanks for your help in making "Opera in the Country" a truly memorable evening. PAMELA MARTIN, Aldergrove Editor, The Star, Sir, The federal government has been thwarted in its effort to reim- pose its oppressive election gag law thanks to an unanimous ruling by the Court of Appeal in Alberta. On June 5, the court refused a government appeal to overturn a 1993 lower court decision which had declared the infamous electoral gag law to be unconstitutional. It was a crushing setback for -Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the political establishment but a major victory for all Canadians who cherish our fundamental freedoms. Introduced by the Mulroney government in 1993, the gag law threatened citizens with up to five years' imprisonment for spending more than $1,000, individually or as a group, to support or oppose political parties or candidates during elections. The National Citizens' Coalition immediately supported a legal challenge to the gag law and in June 1993, the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench ruled that it violated Canadians' freedoms of speech, association and their right to an informed vote. Now diat an Appeal Court has upheld that ruling, isn't it time that the Chretien government scrapped this dangerous law? Threatening citizens with jad for peacefully expressing dieir political beliefs at election time is just plain wrong. DAVID SOMERVILLE, Calgary Non-confidence motion considered Editor, The Star, Sir, It has been brought to my attention that your front page story of Wednesday, June 12, 1996 about the cultural centre inaccurately quoted my comments. What I actually stated at the June 10,1996 council meeting were two points. Firsdy, I stated that, although the Mayor had the legal right under the Municipal Act to bring the cultural centre back for another vote, it was my opinion that to do so showed a lack of leadership, as he is aware that five of six councillors voted in favour of this project. To repeatedly bring this topic back merely divides council and is a serious drawback to Onstage Langley's fundraising efforts. Every dollar that Onstage Langley raises towards the cultural centre is a dollar less that the taxpayers pay. The Mayor's actions have the potential to cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Secondly, I stated that, although the Mayor has a legal executive or retail manager, who was laid off after 23 years, must have several contacts and many talents he could put to work on his own. The out-of-work son with degrees in business and accounting could surely find opportunities tb utilize those skills, helping people with their taxes and bookkeeping. He could offer his services as a consultant to new businesses. People should tap into their talents and their hobbies. Someone, who likes to scuba dive, could sell diving equipment or become an instructor. I recendy met a guy who was a paramedic for 19 years. He was tired of the fast track and decided he needed a change. He now sells medical equipment to ambulance services and hospitals in western Canada, works out of his home and is very successful. He told me he now has his confidence back and can do anything he sets his mind to. Several years ago, my wife worked for an ad agency on the verge of bankruptcy. She struck out on her own. She hustled to get accounts, worked out of our house, hired freelance people for the creative work and developed a lucrative business.. Getting ahead may mean moving to another part of the country or changing careers altogether. Sending out resumes and waiting for the phone to ring is not very creative. Use your imagination and sell yourself. Be willing to take a chance. The opportunities are endless. That is the simple and straightforward road to success. Errors of fact, says reader Editor, The Star, Sir, I am writing in response to the article appearing in the June 12 edition of the Aldergrove Star, "Cultural Centre Moves Ahead". It is unfortunate that the article contains a good deal of misinformation and factual error. We are sure that, as editor of the paper, you are concerned that the information it presents should be accurate, and we therefore give you this opportunity to set the record straight Mayor Scholtens, according to the article, says that "...councillors had not supported the rest (i.e. construction in addition to a new facility for the community More on page 5 right to bring the vote back to council, he does not have the legal authority to instruct the staff not to proceed with work on a project that council has authorized. I stated that if the Mayor continued to exceed his authority as set out in the Municipal Act that I would move a vote of nonconfidence against his unlawful conduct. Thank you for allowing me to correct die inaccurate quotes. Coun. STEVE BURTON Langley ,:j.^.>.^,}.y ^y^^-m^--.^\-'.v----- Fresh taste of summer THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JUNE 19.1996 ABBOTSFORD - Looking forward to the luscious, sweet taste of fresh BC strawberries? BC strawberries will be at their peak and in good supply, starting June 19. "A cold wet spring has made this a much later season", said Henry Wiens, manager of the Fraser Valley Strawberry Growers Association, 'It will be a shorter season this year, approximately three weeks long, and strawberry quality is predicted to be good. Although the average yield per acre will be down, fresh market volumes are expected to increase 15% this year as a result of several growers switching to supply the fresh market needs rather than processed berry markets." In B C, strawberry farmers grow mainly the Totem and Raineer varieties which are prized for their sweet, intense strawberry flavour, juiciness and bright, dark-red colour. BC strawberries are vine-ripened and picked at their peak of perfection, so the flavour is outstanding. Picking berries widi the whole family make for quick results and ensures a crop of fun. Keep in mind that early morning visits are the best time to visit the fields as the weather and berries are cooler. If time is a factor, fresh BC strawberries may be purchased direct from the field, freshly picked each morning. Freshly picked berries will deteriorate quickly when left in a warm car, even for a short time. Han to purchase your berries and preserve your strawberries the same day. Once home, refrigerate strawberries as soon as possible, unwashed and covered. To serve strawberries fresh, prepare just before serving by washing with a light spray of water, gently pat dry and removing the caps last. Do not soak the berries as water is absorbed quickly which lessens the intense strawberry flavour. To freeze strawberries, prepare by washing, draining and removing caps. Place on wax paper lined cookie sheets in a single layer, cap side down; freeze until firm (approx. 2 hours).Transfer to freezer bags or containers, seal, label and freeze for up to one year. Short of time for jam making? Simply freeze the strawberries, prepared and measured, in quantities for a single recipe of jam or jelly; seal, label and freeze to be prepared later! How much to purchase? Remember that 1 pound (500 g) of strawberries yields approximately 4 cups (1 L) whole berries, 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced berries or 3 cups (750 mL) pureed berries. Local growers include Krause Brothers Farm, 6179-248 Street, call 856-5757; and Driediger Brothers Farm, 23823-72 Avenue, call 888-1665. Both farms have a variety of berries and are open from mid-June till August- September. The varieties include raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, gooseberries and currants.

Councillors could hardly have been expected to comment on a plan in October, 1993, which was first presented to council in October, 1995. The cost of the first phase, as agreed by council is not $12-mil- lion, but $8.29-million, of which $1.37-million is to be spent fixing the streets, parking and landscaping, and $1.29-million constructing revenue-generating facilities designed to minimize operating costs. Mr. Bruce Strongitharm is incorrect in stating that "Nanaimo recendy opened a $13-million, 800-seat theatre." Nanaimo, a community with approximately the same population as ours, had its plans in print some time ago, and was therefore able to attract both federal and provincial infrastructure funds. The $12.9-million structure will begin construction this fall and is scheduled for completion in the spring of 1998. Mr. Strongitharm is incorrect in his information about Nanaimo, and is also incorrect in his information about the cost of our first phase. He has also, apparendy, not followed discussions over the last few years, in which many segments of the community were consulted while the Township developed its recreational Master Plan. This community has been so lacking in recreational arts facilities for so long, that a great deal of catching up is necessary and the plan from the start has identified the theatre as coming in the second phase of the project. We believe that the second phase should proceed as quickly as possible and will focus our major corporate fund-raising effort towards it Mayor Scholtens referred, in the June 10 Council meeting, as he has done on previous public occasions, to 'the $36-million project'. The Mayor wed knows, for he has been told many times and has, we must assume, read the Task Force report presented to Council in October, 1995, that, at an early workshop, the Task Force "developed a "wish list" of all possible uses which could be included in the Cultural Centre". For discussion purposes only, the items on that 'wish list' were costed at approximately $35-mil- lion. To the best of my knowledge, no one on the Task Force, the Arts Council, the Music School or On Stage has ever suggested that this sum will be spent; and this figure is certainly not the one proposed by the Task Force, nor accepted by Council. Only Mayor Scholtens and Councillor Arnason persist in misreading the Task Force Report. I do not understand why this is so but, as president of the society dedicated, to raising private sector funds for the project, I do understand that the Mayor's confusion continues to lead to repeated delays of the project - delays which bring an additional potential cost burden to the taxpayers in this community. Mayor Scholtens has repeatedly advocated fiscal responsibility and 'good jobs close to home', yet in this instance he appears to be ignoring his own advice. The majority of Council has repeatedly voted in favour of this project. Yet our fund-raising efforts continue to confront the barrier of the Mayor's opposition. It is the community that suffers from his intransigence.

JUNE 19.1996 /a? support of substance-free celebrations The future of work By CST. TERRY KOPAN LANGLEY - With the high school graduation season upon us, the concern over keeping young adults safe is a community priority. The police will not be making special allowances regarding liquor at, or destined for, after- grad parties. Normal enforcement will be carried out consistent wilh the provisions of die Liquor Control and Licensing Act The B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Act is provincial legislation regarding the use and sale of liquor. The LCLA has a number of well known offences, but historically the authorities contained in sections 68 and 69 are not fully understood. These sections give police the authority to seize liquor which, in the opinion of the officer, may be used illegally. In practical terms, this is a scenario which occurs each year: a parent, or other adult, decides to provide transportation for an after-grad party. Going one step farther, he or she agrees to transport liquor for minors, rationalizing that if they are stopped "It's my liquor and I'm of legal age - no problem." Wrong. This is where the parent, or other adult, crosses the line conflicting with LCLA regulations and plainly breaks the law. Peace officers acting on complaints from the public or on self initiative, may search persons and vehicles under the authority of section 67 LCLA. If there is any reason.to believe the liquor may be used for unlawful purposes, such as consumption by those under 19 years old, sections 68 and 69 apply and the liquor is seized. The dad, mom or adult, if the right evidence exists, may also be charged under section 35 LCLA for supplying liquor to minors. A 1995 school-based prevention program student survey, conducted by the B.C. Prevention Commitment and originality VANCOUVER - In order to succeed in a small business, you need commitment and originality, the president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants says. "Of all business incorporated last year, 95 percent was small business, which makes up 53 percent of B.C.'s profits," says Kerr. Along with his chartered accountant duties, Kerr owns several small businesses throughout B.C. and stresses originality. "If you are going to stay small you must find something that makes you original. You don't have to expand to stay successful," Kerr says. He says that the term 'small business' is a relative one and claims commitment is what it takes to be successful in a small business. "Commitment, commitment, commitment, and keeping the customer happy," says Kerr. "If you are running the business yourself it doesn't matter what size it is, it is small business." Getting involved in business can be daunting but Kerr says there is several good reasons to try. "It gives you a sense of pride, accomplishment, and can be a legacy to leave to your children," he says. Resource Centre, indicates that parental attitudes toward drug use plays an influential role in student's actual drug use behaviour. The more strongly opposed to substances a student perceives his or her parents to be, the less likely the young person is to use that particular substance. Drug use increases considerably among those students who report that their parents wouldn't care if they used the substance. Students who report having an adult they can go to for support and understanding are less likely to use drugs than those who do not have a supportive adult. Some believe special allowances should be made during grad time because it only happens once. Police believe that adults should not condone the use of any drug, including alcohol (for anyone not aware, alcohol is a drug). Agreeing "it" is OK once, is once too often, even at grad time. Most after-grad parties, which are organized and attended by adults, are held on private property. The ethical and legal responsibilities are enormous and most often not considered. The chance of accidents or injuries increase significandy with the use of alcohol, particularly excessive use, which is prevalent during these type of parties. Who would be legally responsible in a court of law for an injury, or worse, a death? Langley RCMP is a member of the Langley Partners, a community's drug awareness initiative. A Langley Partners community needs assessment, completed in November 1995, identified underage drinking as the community's primary drug concern, next to impaired driving. Several months ago, the detachment conducted an enforcement campaign aimed at minors purchasing liquor. Police attention will be directed, consistent with the availability of human resources, to preventing the consumption of liquor by minors during the after-grad party season. The Langley Partners continue to support substance free celebrations and urges adults to set a positive example. Supporting and facilitating young adults for substance free after-grad celebrations is important. For further information, contact the Langley Partners project office at 856-8383. f - * tr - ByRONMcGOWAN Downsizing, reengineering, outsourcing, flextime. Not long ago most of us would have been reaching for a dictionary to define these terms. Today they are part of everyday business language, and they all add up to the same thing, the end of die job, as we know it So far, in the 1990s, over three million workers have been laid off by US companies. The American Management Association conducted a survey of 1,000 companies last year and 60 percent of them said that they would eliminate jobs over the next year. That's the highest percentage in the survey's history. Middle managers, as a group, have been hit particularly hard as companies reshape traditional organizational hierarchies. Indeed, management itself is well along the same road as the job. Peter Drucker says "I'm not comfortable with the word manager anymore, because it implies subordinates. I find myself using executive more because it implies responsibility for an area, not necessarily dominion over people." Michael Hammer, the father of reengineering, offers another perspective, "Middle management, as we currendy know it, will simply disappear." What option does the displaced, middle manager have? The vast majority will not find another job though, sadly, most of them are chasing that option. US statistics show that less than 20 percent of lost jobs are recovered by industry. Self-employment, contracting and consulting will be options for some of them, but they will need help to succeed in diese areas. Having spent their working lives in jobs, moving toward any form of self-employment will be difficult Society's attitude toward them doesn't help either. In spite of the size of this group, and the fact that it is growing, we don't want to acknowledge the extent of the problem. Like addicts, we're into denial, trying to ignore it, hoping it wdl go away. It won't We are more comfortable accepting falsehoods like the unemployment rate is 8 - 9%, when the truth is it is at least 20% and growing. In our gut we know that more of us will be joining this group, but as long as we currently have a job, we choose to ignore the problem, facing up to it is too painful.

More than 800 million people are unemployed or underemployed around the worid and technological displacement will continue to force millions out of work. So, what will it take to wake us up to the magnitude of the challenge facing us? For our parents and grandparents it took a major crash in the stock market and the subsequent depression. Nothing nearly as traumatic has happened to us, and it may not happen. Instead, it's a neighbor here, a coworker there, a relative here, an acquaintance there. All steadily joining the ranks of the unemployed but not in a dramatic enough fashion to shake us out of our complacency. In the meantime, we cling to a dangerously naive hope that the' economy will eventually turn around and bring those lost jobs back with it And, of course, mere are those comforting, goofy, official, unemployment statistics. What do we do? The first step, as today's kids would say, is to get real. Most of the jobs we've lost are gone for good. We have to look at other forms of employment for both the employed and the unemployed and start sharing the available work. If that means legislating a ban on overtime, fine, let's do it If it means legislating a 30-hour work week, fine, let's do it If it means converting employees with full benefits to contractors who provide for their own benefits, fine,' let's do it If it means a tax break, to companies to prevent layoffs, fine, let's do it If it means giving tax breaks or government funding to volunteer or non-profit groups, so that they can hire people, fine, let's do it You don't like the idea of giving up your overtime, 40-hour work week and all those benefits? Well, why should you? After all, this downsizing thing isn't your problem, is it? Rising crime and violence, a growing homeless population, diere's no relationship between these and what we're talking about, is there? Besides, we can just carry on as we are, ignoring the problem, buying more security systems and devices, building more subdivisions walled off from the outside, to protect us from ... what? Hardened criminals? How about ordinary people who are desperate? We have to provide help to those people who have been displaced and whose only option is some form of self-employment. Most of them fall into that category. There are many talented, well- educated, experienced people in society who are spinning their wheels. With some training and coaching to see themselves as independent contractors rather than employees, they could take advantage of the work opportunities (not jobs) that are avadable. Instead of funding educational institutes to train people for nonexistent or disappearing jobs, let's divert those funds to help educated, displaced people to find work. We're at a watershed in our history with very high stakes riding on the results of how we respond. LANGLEY HERITAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN The Township of Langley is scheduling an Open House to provide interested persons an opportunity to review the proposed Heritage Management Plan. The Heritage Management Plan is a guide for future heritage conservation work in the Township of Langley. The plan: * reviews the historical context and heritage resources of the community; * developes a vision, goals and objectives for heritage management; * identifies roles of government agencies and community organizations; and * makes specific recommendations to deal with heritage issues. Some of the issues dealt with in the plan are heritage buildings (both publicly and privately owned), heritage landscapes and roads, protection of heritage resources, creation of a heritage register, development and financial incentives, cemeteries, archaeological sites and heritage conservation areas. Residents and landowners are encouraged to attend the Open House and provide input into the Heritage Management Plan. Council will review the results of the Open House prior to consideration of the plan.

Up to the challenge? LANGLEY - The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Fraser Valley chapter, invites you and your colleagues to enter the Twoonie Town Challenge. This media event presents a fun-filled way to boost team spirit and support a worthwhile community effort. • Twoonie Town contestants are asked to raise a minimum of one foot of stacked twoonies ($312) from which they will build a replica of their company's budding, product or logo. Each company will then bring their twoonies to Willowbrook Shopping Centre on June 25 at 2:22 pm, where they can build their twoonie model. On September 8, the twoonies will be added to the Twoonie Tower - A tribute to Transplantation. The foundation aims to break a Guinness world record by building the world's tallest and most valuable coin tower at the 1996 Street of Dreams in Surrey. For contest details call Elke at 856-1782. More than 300 British Columbians are awaiting a kidney, transplant operation. Tragically, fewer than 50 percent will receive the transplant they need because of the shortage of organs available for transplantation. Your participation in the Twoonie Town Challenge will help improve these odds. In addition, all are invited to the 4th annual Car Show for charity at 19990 Langley Bypass on August 4. The show runs from 10 to 5 and features lots of fun activities including hot-air balloon rides for the kids. Proceeds from the fund-raising activities will be donated to charitable organizations, including the Kidney Foundation.

Tours, therefore, will not be held until renovations are complete by the latter part of 1996 or early 1997. "Sun-Rype has been giving free plant tours since 1957," said Magda Fazekas, Sun-Rype's manager of public relations, "and the Tour Room has become too small to accommodate the 25,000 tourists that visit our facility each year. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes visitors." Established in 1946, Sun-Rype has one of the most modern and efficient fruit processing operations in North America. The Sun- Rype product line includes apple and citrus juices, cocktails, nectars, apple blends, apple sauce and granola bars. As part of its plan to become a leading international food and beverage company by the year 2000, Sun-Rype is focussed on diversification of its product tines and globalization of its brand into new markets such as China. New band stand ready for business ALDERGROVE - The new bandshell in Kinsmen Heritage Park will have electrical service connected in the coming week, and arrangements for booking it are going to be dirough the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, 856-2899. This will help scheduling, as the caretaker of Aldergrove Park will be responsible for turning the locked power- box on for performers. There will be no fee charged for its use, and The Star will provide free promotion of the scheduled events. A Tuesday afternoon meeting between representatives of the Kinsmen, Township Parks and Recreation and Alder Grove Heritage Society has informally agreed to this arrangement, which should work to the benefit of the community. AGHS spokesperson June Willson said there have been enquiries about booking the gazebo for wedding parties and such, and while there is no charge for these uses, there would be a donation required for anyone wishing to have the AGHS building opened for these events, so that staff can be provided. There are public washrooms also available at Aldergrove Park, across the street The bandshell has adequate power for amplifiers and lighting for its large stage, and the amphitheatre could seat 200 guests.

The teams final record was 3 wins, 12 losses, 3 ties. Although the team's win loss secord was below average, at this age group success is not always measured in this column. Eight of the team's 12 losses were by two runs or less. The players are to be congratulated for the hard effort and good sportsmanship they have shown this season. The teams focus for the year was to teach baseball skills, fair play and ensure all the players had fun. On behalf of the parents and fans we would like to thank the players for an enjoyable year and wish them well in the playoffs. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR 1996 RAFFLE DRAW!

JUNE 10.1996 y\| j-Staf Cjame LANGLEY - The Thunder and Ai Sakuragi, Esther DeRuiter and Christine DeRuiter join the tug of war fun at the Japanese Language School's sports day. Japanese bliss in Bradner BRADNER - Japanese Language School's 10th annual Sports Day was also a year-end celebration with small kids running and jumping, pushing and pulling. Big kids lying in the grass, way too cool for games. Grandparents, all smiles, are sitting in the shade while babies snooze, and a lone dissident wraps his mother's knees in an armlock. "It's like an old-fashioned church picnic," said Barbara Gat- man, who, with her son Chris, has attended the Fraser Valley Japanese Language School for the past three years. "It brings friends and family together to have fun and to share their favorite foods." Len Sakaragi, age 10, agreed. "It was really fun. I liked the tug of war best The red team won." This year's event was orga nized by teacher Ayako Tanaka and took place on June 2 at the school grounds in Bradner. "I am happy to see so many parents and friends, and for them to learn about Japanese style undokai (sports day) and participate in Japanese culture," said Tanaka. A quick poll revealed that, after the tug of war, the favorite games were tama-ire (bean bag toss) and suika-wari (hitting the watermelon). Everyone agreed that the food was "the best" with harusame (spring rain) salad topping the list of favourites. Fraser Valley Japanese Language School is a non-profit organization that offers classes for children and adults in bodi spoken and written Japanese. The new term will be starting in September. For more information, call Ayako Tanaka at 888-6291. Summer daycamps start ABBOTSFORD - You can register your kids now for summer daycamps at the MSA Museum.

Many in this community got a good taste of their capabilities at the recent Opera in the Country gala at the Aldergrove United Church, and teachers Marty Summers and Laurie Law- son are hoping that there will be many more opportunities for the residents to see them perform in the community. Their calendar over the past year has included dates at the grand opening of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame at BC Place, the opening game of Langley Thunder hockey team, the Chamber of : Commerce Christmas dinner at Newlands, Aldergrove Festival Days, the Sidewalk Cafee in Clearbrook on New Year's Eve and many more. They've also been active participants at many juried music festivals, where they've often come away with the lion's share of awards and scholarships. Christy Ashton and Tiffany Martin were selected to perform with the B.C.- wide Honour Jazz Choir concert in the Orpheum, alongside David Foster. Six senior students, Jane Dean, Tyler Summers, Christy Ashton, Chris Marganelli, April Slater and Tiffany Martin, were chosen to perform with the UBC Honour Bands last October. They were' a "powerhouse" at the Surrey Jazz Festival, with 40 students in six ensembles, winning more awards than 35 other schools. Kiwanis Jazz Festival awards went to Tyler Summers, and then at the Banff Rocky Mountain Music Festival, Aldergrove won more awards than any other school in the distinguished national-level festival. It may seem impossible to top a year like the last one, but the teachers and students are going to give it their best shot. They will be very active in the coming year, readying themselves for Musicfest Canada. Abbotsford's finest will be on parade ABBOTSFORD - Agrifair '96 and the Abbotsford Arts Council invite entries to the 60th anniversary Abbotsford Agrifair parade, to be held Saturday, August 3 through the streets of Abbotsford. "For 60 years, the parade has been a celebration of the community and community support of Agrifair," said Arts Council president Lorraine Lanteigne, adding "We're involved in organizing the parade because we want to develop community spirit" j£p About 65 entries are expected to participate in this year's parade. This includes floats, decorated trucks, walkers, mascots, clowns, bikes and horses. In fact, rather than receiving the usual ride in convertibles and other fancy cars, this year's parade VIPs will be catching a ride with the six-horse hitches which will be featured in this year's parade. The parade includes a variety of categories to suit every interest, including a special award for best use of the Agrifair theme "Do It in Denim" and awards for costumed bicycles and tricycles. "When I was growing up in Abbotsford, it was a tradition to decorate our bikes and go in the parade," Lanteigne recalled. "We want to revive that tradition. After all, parades are all about people, people participating and people watching along the streets." Marshalling of this year's parade will start at 8 am at the MSA Arena on Emerson Street. Promptly at 10 am, the parade will leave the arena grounds and follow a route along Emerson, Peardonville, Gladwin, South Fraser Way and Trethewey, Although the parade will disperse at the fairgrounds, this year floats, trucks and other entries will have the option of remaining on display at Exhibition Park until the end of the fair, August 5. 'Teople put a lot of work into their floats and we want the maximum number of people to be able to see their efforts," explained Agrifair manager Harvey Carroll. Entry forms for the parade are now available at the Arts Council, Hagen's Travel and Agrifair offices. Magic Flute VANCOUVER - The Academy of Music's year-end workshop production of The Magic Flute comes to the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island this weekend, with a full Opera Workshop production featuring the students, including soprano Tamara Hummel.

JUNE 19.1996 Celtic pop at old Fort hall ■ FORT LANGLEY - Fans of celtic music, this time direct from Shetland, have only to trek to Fort Langley Community Hall on June 28 for dance with the real thing. Drop The Box is the name of this young Aberdeen group. George Anderson of Aberdeen's Music Hall said that while many young bands strive to be like uie Waterboys, or swamp any traditional charm with layers of keyboard hum, "groups like Drop The Box are pouring off the Lerwick Ferry with fresh and exciting slants on traditional ideas. Most of the younger set of fiddle bands with attitude can stir up their audiences by lurching through a raucous instrumental or two. Certainly, Drop The Box can give it considerable faldy when they have the notion. Where they really score however, is with the songs they have written. James Henry, the main singer, levelled them at us with warm assurance. Accordionist Inge Thomson took her turn at the mic as well, and provided the highlight, 'Not The Love.' If Drop The Box were knocking about Dublin or London, this ditty would be in the charts." Drop The Box are ready to make the leap from pub to conceit hall. They could leap even further after that, because buried amongst the folk influences is a pop sensi- bility for perfect songs with 'killer' hooklines. Advance tickets are available by calling 888- 1223 or Ticketmaster. The hall is at 9167 Glover Road. tfoutya SS V 27083 Fraser Hvily, Aldergrove 856-3292 RESTAURANT Monday -.prtday 11:30 am - 2:00pm for lunch" Open nigfitfy at 5:00pm — Tnigfitsper we«lc Traditional Prime Rib Dinner every Friday Evening LASTING m M€MORl€S N DINING ROOM 20563 Douglas Cres.

For event information call GVRD Parks at 432-6351. Cooling systems need more attention Achieving more miles per gallon, a continuing challenge to automotive designers, has affected the cooling system as much as any part of the vehicle. To reach their objectives, engineers reduce wind resistance and vehicle weight, among other improvements. This has led to smaller radiators to accommodate the reduced frontal area of the vehicle. And to reduce weight, the old copper and brass radiators with soldered joints were replaced with aluminum and plastic: lighter, less expensive and with excellent life expectancy. Aluminum, however, is more vulnerable to breakdown of the inhibitors in the antifreeze/coolant. Failure to flush the cooling system and replace antifreeze/ coolant can lead to the demise of a fairly new radiator. To gain maximum life from an aluminum radiator, Car Care Council recommends cooling system service annually, certainly no less often than every other year. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, don't merely change antifreeze, they say. Flush out the system with a quality cooling-system cleaner. And if you've been in the habit of "topping off' the cooling system with pure antifreeze, beware of getting too high a ratio of antifreeze to water. The maximum allowable is 70 percent, after which the coolant loses its heat-transfer characteristics and the engine overheats. Maintaining proper coolant level is critical as well. The Council reports that among thousands of vehicles checked during National Car Care Month, 29 percent were low on antifreeze/ coolant. Further, inspectors found 12 percent had rusty or otherwise contaminated antifreeze/coolant, indicating need for flushing of the system. In addition to flushing and replacing antifreeze, seasonal cooling system service should include inspection of drive belts and hoses. It's also wise to have the system pressure tested for leaks and for condition of the radiator pressure cap. Finally, reminds the Council, a thermostat that allows the engine to run too cool can damage the engine.

They also know that a malfunctioning transmission can cost a lot of money. In fact, consumers paid more than $10 billion for transmission repairs last year. Though the inner workings of a transmission may be complicated, keeping it in good health does not require secret technical knowledge. So says Bill Schultz, vice president of technical services at AAMCO Transmissions, Inc., the world's largest chain of transmission specialists. Signs of transmission trouble are easy to identify if you know what to look for, Schultz says. 'Tay attention to how your car shifts. If your transmission fails to shift smoothly, or it delays or slips shifting gears, that's a sign of trouble," he says. Other problem signs include puddles under the vehicle which indicate a leak; an engine that overheats; a vehicle that makes unusual noises, such as a grinding noise in any gear or a banging noise when the vehicle comes to a stop. If you think your transmission is failing, don't panic. Have the transmission checked out at a reputable repair facility. PONT LOSE YOIIR COOL!

Nordics celebrate solstice BURNABY - For over 100 years, immigrants from the Scandinavian countries have come to British Columbia and become a part of the colourful multicultural fabric that is Canada. Some 250,000 people in B.C. are of partial Scandinavian descent. Most days of the year we are simply "Canadians", but in June, for Midsummer, out come the colourful folk costumes, often passed down from parents and grandparents, for this special heritage day. For the past 60 years, a traditional Midsummer Festival has been held in the Lower Mainland to celebrate the longest day of the year and the coming of summer. Although the summer solstice is celebrated in many lands, those from the Nordic countries, where the cold, dark days of winter last the longest, seem to celebrate with the greatest enthusiasm. Now, as those of Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and Danish descent from throughout the province have come together to purchase and operate the new Scandinavian Community Centre, located on 4.3 acres in central Bumaby at 6540 Thomas Street, a joint Midsummer Festival to celebrate the heritage will once again be held on Sunday, June 23. The Icelandic community will join this special event as the fifth Nordic country. Widi activities for children, a "rock" room for teens and an outdoor stage with Nordic music and folkdancing, there is something for every age. Delicious Scandinavian foods to eat, a Stroget for shopping and a Volvo automobile to examine, will ensure that everyone has fun at this very1 affordable family event. Admission is only $2 per person, children 10 yrs and under are free. For information or to pre-pur- chase your souvenir admission buttons, call the centre at 294- 2777.

Most municipalities in the GVRD have either eliminated open burning or placed severe restrictions on it There are also restrictions in the Fraser Valley Regional District Air quality standards for PM- 10 in Washington are not as stringent as in British Columbia, which has led some Washington officials to conclude that additional pollution from open burning could be tolerated. However, relaxing the regulations in Washington would increase the smoke from open burning drifting into the GVRD and the Fraser VaUey. Seniors will picnic at Williams Park Karate champs prepare for trip to Japan By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - B.C. Old Age Pensioners Organization is holding their annual convention in Abbotsford this week. Delegates Mary Sanderson, George Speerin and Roy Lockhart will be representing Aldergrove OAPO #71. The Choral Group has had a sad week since losing one of their favorite members, Phyllis Delves, our pianist and accompanist. She's been an inspiration to all of us, with her love for music, her patient quiet manner and her availability even under adversity. For twelve years she's been with us, and it goes without saying we will all miss her. It seemed as though she had tied up all the loose ends by playing for our last engagements, being there for the Choral Festival and accompanying the Mass Choir - helping with the Strawberry Tea, attending the pancake breakfast and as though her work was done, she fell asleep without wakening. Not only was she involved with the Choral Group but also the OAPO. Our sympathy goes out to Charlie in the loss of his wife of fifty-three years, and also to their two sons and their families. Last Wednesday dance had a small crowd around 27. The Spot dance went to Stan and Carol Hays. The 50-50 draw winners were Gordon Christie, Hazel Measor, Lillian Burke and George Yusko. Due to other dances on the weekend a small crowd attended the Saturday dance, perhaps 44. The first Spot dance was won by Alice Cooper and Ab Kay, second spot went to Hazel Measor, and Gordon Christie. 50-50 draw went to Doreen Briscoe, Ab Kay, Leo Levasseur. Door prize winner were Margaret Charles, and Gordon Christie. There will not be a Wednesday dance this week due to the Convention in Abbotsford. Another senior resident of Aldergrove passed away on the weekend, Jack Malin. He was a businessman in Aldergrove and people will remember him from his days in the hardware business here. Our sympathy goes to his son and his companion of several years, Mary McLellan. Bridge news on partnership night, Thursday, was as follows: John Arnason and Kit Farrar with 7600, 2nd Mary Harwood and Amelia Bybund witii 5520, Eileen Pawliuk and Gwen Parsons scored 5080, Belle Spetz and partner got 4880. Michael Sandes got the draw. The OAP picnic will be held July 14 at Williams Park, we hope to have a good turnout from all the branches. This is the seniors news for this week. You know you're getting older when you look forward to a dull evening.

I WUtl W I change for 4Hl 17 OTTAWA - Governor General Romdo LeBlanc is looking for Caring Canadians. The Governor General has created a new national award to honour Canadian caregivers and volunteers. Now he is asking for help in finding them. 1 am asking citizens to nominate the most exemplary, dedicated and inspirational volunteers they know and we will decorate them at Rideau Hall and in ceremonies across the country. Volunteers have enriched the lives of every Canadian, and asked nothing for themselves. Now we will honour the hidden helpers and the unsung heroes of Canada. It is time to give something back to the givers," said the Governor General. The name and logo of the new award were chosen by a jury of eminent Canadians from more than 1,000 entries submitted in a national contest held from November 1995 to January 1996. The name selected is The Governor Genera's Caring Canadian Award. In French, it is Le prix du Gouverneur glnlral pour l'entraide. Recipients of the new award will receive a certificate for framing and a lapel pin for everyday wear. Presentations will be made by the Governor General when he visits communities across Canada or by his representatives. Rules for the new award are simple. First, it will recognize unpaid, voluntary contributions, generally carried out behind the scenes at the community level. Second, winners may have provided care to an individual, or support for a group or any other community service or humanitarian cause. Third, they have served over several years or have made an extraordinary contribution of short duration. And fourth, they will not have been previously recognized at the federal or provincial level for their contributions. If you know someone who fits that criteria, you may write to: The Governor General's Caring Canadian Award, Rideau Hall, 1 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1. Nomination forms are also available from Canada Post outlets, Volunteer Bureaux and Centres, municipal governments or by calling Government House in Ottawa, toll-free, at 1-800-465- 6890. The number of awards given out will depend on the response to the program, but it is expected that approximately 100 will be given the first year. The first twelve recipients of the award from each province and the two territories will be honoured this July 1 at Rideau Hall and during the nationally-televised Canada Day midday program on Parliament Hill. In future years, twelve recipients of the award will be randomly selected to participate in the National Cap-* ital Commission's Great Canadian' Volunteer Expedition, which is held in conjunction with Canada Day activities and provides an opportunity to Canadian volunteers to experience the nation's capital, to learn more about their country and to exchange ideas with fellow volunteers across the country.

By JULIAN KIRBY LANGLEY - In the Langley Lamb and Wool craft 4-H Qub, this year has been a year of many changes. As this year's club reporter, I would like to welcome our new club leader, Mrs. Ann Kirby who is taking over for Pat Wrigley. This year our club will be introducing new uniforms and a new crest designed by our club president, Jessica Shumaker. In other club news, the club would like to congratulate Jessica Shumaker and Danniel Wilson for moving onto the District Demonstrations in which they did very well, and we would also like to congratulate Natasha Toews and Heidi Fictorie for winning the club junior demonstration and doing well at the district level. , Our club recendy had a mini- - fair, in which long time former member Laurie Dingwall taught new members how to wash and trim animals. A shearer gave a demonstration on shearing sheep, after which members were guided through shearing sheep. Being club reporter, I asked the - members of this club what 4-H meant to them. The most common answer I got was because it is fun and it helps a person make new ' friends from all over B.C., Cana- : da and the worid. As the spokesperson for this club, I would like to thank one of our sponsors, Husquarna, for donating jackets for our members to wear at fairs and to promote 4- H. So far this year is beginning to look like a very important year in our club, and I think that I speak for everyone in my club that we are very happy to be a part of it LANGLEY'S LARGEST CHRYSLER DEALER TRADE-IN SPECIALS -. 9fl 1993 CADILLAC ELDORADO TOURING 1 owner, sheer luxury, fully equipped $28,988 1991 CHEV PICKUP EXTEND CAB 4 wheel drive, short box, propane $18,988 38_&*«fc#*8& --j^^ffl?^ 1994 ESCORT STATION WAGON Local car, mint condition $13,988 1991 BRONCO XLT 4x4 Fully equipped, hard to find $18,988 £9tf=£ 1994 CHEVY CAMARO 1 owner, local car, loaded, showroom condition $16,988 1992 TOYOTA PICKUP EXTEND CAB 6 cyl, excellent buy at $12,988 LANGLEY CHRYSLER JEEP 19418 Langley Bypass, Surrey, B.C. aI,v.vv.'.v.v,-.^,v 18 THE ALDERQROVE STAR.

THE-ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 19; 1996 23 ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, Summer is fast approaching, and the children are going to be home all day looking for something to do. I cannot be taking them places eveiy day. I have my housework to do and am involved in hobbies that I love. I can't afford babysitters to take them out, so forget that idea. Is there anything I can do to get some relief this summer? My kids, all three of them, are in Grade school and cannot be left on their own. Help. Signed: Desperate mom. Dear Desperate, Get to know some of the mothers at your children's school. They are probably in the same boat as you and would like to find a bit of respite during the summer. If you found five mothers, each one of you could take each others kids on one day a week, thereby leaving four of you to have days off. Maybe even the fathers could take over on one of their days off. Ask around, it could work. However, put aside your housework and your hobbies for two months and spend some time with your kids. They don't stay children for long, and you have the rest of your life for housework and hobbies. My dear Annabelle, I wish to bring to your attention a small but amusing publication produced by a fellow warrior, David Cod vi lie (lance corporal, retired), now living in Port Hardy as what might be termed a "remittance man". The work is the 52-page Volume 1 of The Port Hardy Ravings of Colonel Philbert Liestoker, published by Hardy Bay Pratfall Press and available for a modest $4 from that august company at Box 2339, Port Hardy VON 2P0. I have myself on occasion campaigned alongside Codville and can testify mat he is a courageous old soldier who has mixed it up with the Enemy in many guises on numeious occasions (sometimes, perhaps, valiantly absorbing an excessive number of blows to the head). It is a witty and entertaining collection that would brighten die day of anyone not afflicted with pomposity. What? I remain, your obedient servant, Brigadier General Hugo (Huge) Wallop, ReL Dear Huge, Sounds like die perfect stocking stuffer for next Christmas. Especially for people with two left feet Two little boys were sitting around after the funeral of their grandfather. One said to the odier, "How do you want to go when you die?' and the other said, "Just like Grandpa, happy and content, with a smile on my face - not like the others who were kicking and screaming and trying to get out of his car." Man hit by bus SURREY - A 26 year-old Indo-Canadian man is dead after being struck by a B.C. Transit bus in the 7500 block of Scott Road, just before 12:30 p.m, Saturday, June 15. Witnesses say the man was walking south on the grassy area between the sidewalk and the road, and appeared to have jumped in front of the bus. The driver stopped but it was too late. There was no alcohol involved, and no charges are pending at this time.
