The dream is spreading around the world. In 1993 there were 251 runsites in 35 countries outside of Canada. This included all continents, with tliree runs each in Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. Although his cross-Canada marathon had to be cut short, tlie run lives on through the Terry Fox Foundation. This year's run is set for September 18, and people from around tlie world will be getting together to walk, mn, cycle, skate or wheel to raise funds for cancer research. In die thirteen year history of the mn, over $135,000,000 has been raised for the research and development of a possible cure. Last year over $8.5 million was raised. In Aldergrove alone, over $3,800 was raised in 1992 and over $4,700 in 1993- The mission statement of the foundation is "to maintain the vision and principles of Terry Fox while raising money for innovative cancer research in an annual Please see page 2...

The car, driven by a twenty year old Matsqui man, ran over the curb at tlie intersection of Nelson Avenue and Bourquin Crescent, crossed the lawn, went through tlie north wall of tlie complex's recreation room, exited through the west wall, crossed a driveway, and hit another building in the complex, lief ore coming to a halt.

MLA steps down for investigation MATSQUI - In a symbolic gesture, Matsqui MLA Mike de Jong has stepped aside as Liberal environment critic while he is under investigation by Conflict of Interest Commissioner Ted Hughes. De Jong -^ being investigated as to whether or not he should have participated in debate on Bill 55, which included a number of issues, one of which was tlie appointment of directors to the Legal Aid Society. In July, former Liberal leader Gordon Wilson charged that de Jong was in conflict of interest, saying that he had a monetary interest in the LSA. De Jong said that after examining the issues, he decided that he did not have a financial interest, even though, as a lawyer, he did do some work for tlie society. He also agreed to cooperate entirely widi Hughes. De Jong said that since in die past he has demanded that members of the legislature step aside from their duties while under investigation by Hughes, it is only fair that he do the same. He still attends parliament and can still speak out on environmental issues but not in an official capacity. "Tlie investigation has nothing to do with being environment critic, but it's the only job that I can step aside, from," said de Jong, "It's a bit of a symbolic gesture."

Residents are encouraged to attend and give die gift of life, but an alternative date is offered Friday, Sept. 23, 2:30 to 8 p.m. at Langley Meadows Elementary School, 2244 Willoughby Way. By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Langley Minor Hockey Association president, Danny Franco wants the Township Parks and Recreation director suspended and an independent inquiry launched into why their ice-time was given to an old •timer's league on which die director used to play. The LMHA is accusing director Doug Brimacombe of conflict of interest saying that he is putting his own personal needs, and those of his private men's club, ahead of diose of youth. They also say diat it was not brought up at township council meetings diat Brimacombe was involved widi the team. Brimacombe says, however, that he has never met Franco, or been contacted by the LMHA, and doesn't understand what the fuss is all about. Tlie Old Crocs, as diey are called, have been playing hockey at die Civic Centre since it opened, so die time was not originally taken away from the kids. Brimacombe explains that in March, township council voted to .give ice time to junior hockey on the condition that it would not be at the expense of other grovips already using die ice. When all arrangements were final, minor hockey was displaced, but was accommodated except for one weeknight session of an hour and a half. However, between the Civic Centre and Aldergrove Arena, diey have significantly more ice- time this year than last. LMHA was told by council that there was extra time available on Saturday mornings at 9:30. It was not suitable to diem, as they wanted a midweek time, so township mayor John Scholtens designated diem the Wednesday night time, displacing the Old Crocs. Last council meeting, when it was discovered that there was a domino effect happening and existing groups were being pushed out of. their spots, they passed a motion, made by former parks commissioner Steve Burton, to reverse the~decision and gave Wednesday nights back to the Old Crocs. The LMHA says diat diey were not notified or die motion to change die time back, aldiough die Old Crocs were apparency notified since they were allowed time to address council. Brimacombe says diat he has also quit die team, although they asked him not to, adding that it is unfortunate that he cannot take part in community activities.

AUGUST 31. 1994 Fox run set for Sept. 18 From front... event known as the Terry Fox Run." Over 500 schools in the region have entered, and it is important to know diat the run, especially in schools, is more than just a fundraiser, it's also about raising awareness about cancer, and educating youth about an individual who had a dream and set out to achieve it. Terry Fox is regardetl by Canadians as a hero, for his courage and strength. He was born in Winnipeg in 1958 and was a gifted adilete, receiving many awards. In March of 1977, he discovered a tumour in his right leg, which was then amputated six inches above the knee. In February 1979 he began training for his Marathon of Hope, a cross-Canada run to raise money for cancer research. During his training he ran over 3,000 miles (.5,000 km). In October he enlisted the support of the Canadian Cancer Society to sponsor his marathon. He wrote, "I'm not a dreamer, and I'm not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to." On April 12,1980, Terry dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic ocean and set out on his journey. He crossed six provinces, running 26 miles on an average day. It was on September 1, after 143 days and 3,339 miles (5,5.65 kin) that he had to stop his run outside Thunder Bay, Ontario because the cancer had spread to his lungs. On July 30, 1989, part of the freeway where the run ended was renamed the Terry Fox Courage Highway. Just of the freeway, 12 km west of Thunder Bay, at the Terry Fox Lookout which overlooks Lake Superior, a nine foot bronze statue of Terry was unveiled on June 26, 1982. The day after Terry ended his run, Isadore Sharp, president of Four Seasons Hotels, telegram- med die Fox family with a commitment to organize a fundrajs- ' ing run, to be held eveiy year in Terry's name, to continue the fight against cancer. "You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized." The Four Seasons, the Canadian- Cancer Society, die Canadian Track and Field Association, and Fitness and Amateur Sport Canada, joined togedier to begin plans towards the first Terry Fox Run, to continue Terry's dream of finding a cure for cancer. On September 9, 19.80, the Canadian Television Network organized a telethon for Terry. It lasted only five hours but raised over $10 million His hope of raising one dollar from every Canadian to fight cancer was realized on February 1, 1981. The population of Canada was 24.1 million; the Marathon of Hope funds totalled 24.17 million. On June 28 ,1991 after treatment with chemodierapy and interferon, Terry Fox died at Royal Columbian Hospital, in New Westminster. As promised by Sharp, the Terry Fox Run became an annual event, raising over three million dollars a year. On May 26, 19.S8, the Terry Fox Run became a trust", independent from the Canadian Cancer Society and received tax exempt charitable, organization status. The structure is now known as the Terry Fox Foundation. It's a grass roots organization which strives to maintain the heroic efforts and integrity diat Terry Fox embodied. It does not allow for any commercialization, nor does it seek any government funding. The National Cancer Institute of Canada is the sole beneficiary of die funds raised and utilizes diem widiin the foundation's mandate. Money goes towards innovative cancer research seeking the secret behind early detection, treatments and cures for all cancers. The success of the runs depend on the hard work of diou- sands of volunteers who organize over 3,000 runsites across the country, and hundreds more overseas. . Nine Terry Fox Run offices in Canada with 17 full-time employees support their incredible work. The Aldergrove run, which will be one of 120 happening in B.C. and the Yukon, will be taking place on Sunday September 18, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Aldergrove Community Centre on 29 Avenue. For more information about die run call the centre at 856-2899- To participate in die run, pledge sheets are available at HMV stores, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, Shopper's Drug Marts, Canada Trust, CIBC, Pharmasave and IGA.

'SWIFT ACTION" PROMISED Fed's Ferndale report finds "inappropriate placement" of two escapee killers are problems is assessing the risks presented by. offenders, with one particular aspect being the reliance placed on the views of professional psychologists and psychiatrists. The issue of how much weight to assign to the views of professionals has always been in question, but even more so in the last few years. As long as humans are making judgments about die future behaviour of odier humans diere is always the possibility of error. Even widi the best professional advice and reliable assessment tools, predicting human behaviour is not an exact science. In die case of Roberts, die report notes that both a consulting psychologist and psychiatrist indicated he was at low risk to reoffend and not likely to be violent. A task force was set up last year and is finishing a list of recommendations on die role and management of psychological services in die Correcdonal Service, covering standards, procedures and accountability. Senior management personnel are reviewing die results of die investigation report to determine whedier disciplinary action should be taken against staff involved in diis case and, if so, what kind. A new warden has been appointed at Ferndale, Ron Wiebe, and Edwards has expressed complete, confidence in him, saying diat diere have already been noticeable improvements in die day to day operations of the facility. OTTAWA - Tlie Correcdonal Service of Canada has made public die investigation report into the escape of offenders Timothy Cronin and Michael Roberts, from Ferndale Minimum Security Institution, on May 3. They walked away from die prison and travelled to Seatde where diey killed a man and used his car to drive to Portland. They were caught and charged widi first degree murder in America. If found guilty, diey could get die deadi penalty. In releasing die report, commissioner of corrections, John Edwards, stated that he accepts the. recommendations of the board and promised quick action to implement the recommendations, not only at Ferndale but, where applicable at die twelve other minimum security prisons operated by die Correctional Service of Canada. . Edwards has asked all minimum security wardens to examine their operations in light of the report, and also said diat national and regional policies will be reexamined by senior officials at a workshop to be held within a few weeks. Tlie board concluded that the placement of Roberts and Cronin in a minimum security facility was inappropriate, and was based partly on an assessment tool being incorrecdy applied. Tlie odier findings of die board focussed primarily on two issues. The first one was that weaknesses were found in the day to day operations of Ferndale Institution. The second was that there SHOW HOME Open weekends 1:00 to 5:00 pm or weekdays by appointment 857-1197 or 623-5651 >4,000 BONUS ON NEXT4 HOMES! Plus...

Lehman Road and Taylor Road, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. | It begins widi a pancake breakfast and is followed by a day full of country fun. 'Fun' includes a pet parade, a performance by die Abbotsford Concert Band, a Highland dance show, a fiddle performance by die Old Time Fiddlers and much Cadets to mark 100 years and they want you to join By SUSAN HUNT ALDERGROVE - The Navy League of Canada is celebrating their centennial in 1995 The main branch is located in Ottawa, and there are many branches across Canada helping with die cadet movement. In the Fraser Valley we have die Central Fraser Valley branch which serves cadets from Langley to Mission, including a cadet from Chilliwack. There are two age groups, the Navy League (boys and girls ages 9 to 12). and the Sea Cadets (boys and girls ages 12 to 19). One of die main goals is to help fund the corps in ways and means so that die parents are not always doling out money. We purchase things for training purposes. We rely on the co-operadon of the public when cadets are doing tag days, car washes and botde drives. The executive board of directors consists of parents and other members, some have come back from being a cadet at one time or anodier or quite simply join with us because diey believe in the cadet movement. We are always looking for new cadets and new ways of raising funds. Presently we are funding and converting an old barn at CFS Aldergrove. This will be the cadets' training center. W? are in need of extra funds at this moment to finish the job and then die cadets will be able to move in. We are not that far away from completion. Donations can be sent to Navy League of Canada, Central Fraser Valley Branch, Box 1732 Aldergrove, B.C. VOX 1A0. The Sea Cadets known as RCSCC Columbia started in 1959 and in June of 1994 had their 34th annual inspection of the corps. They have a good band which competed in Chilliwack diis year and took second in the micro band division. The aims of the cadet movement are: to promote citizenship; to promote physical fitness; and to promote awareness of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets meet eveiy Tuesday at the CFS Aldergrove Station from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. If you have boys or girls or know someone who would like to join, come on out The first parade night will be Tuesday, Sept. 13. You may phone the Cadet office for more information or leave a message at 856-3700. The Central Fraser Valley branch of die Navy League of Canada want to make this centennial year a big one. We'd like to see an increase of cadets and be able to move into dieir new training center as soon as possible. Since this is our centennial year coming up we would like to hear from all former cadets of the past and civilian instructors and officers of our corps. We will be having an adult dance in die fall. We'd like to make this a memorable occasion. There is a centennial pin available diat former cadets, officers and instructors may wish to purchase as a keepsake. You can obtain any information by writing the branch. For the dance tickets we urge you to get them early as space is limited; they will be on sale late September. more. There will be lots of contests to enter, including the biggest pumpkin, best scarecrow and best dressed teddy bear. Kid's activities include face painting, pony rides, a cake walk, the McDonald's firehouse and 4H animals. Don't forget the craft tables and the country market for great demonstrations and bargains in weaving, quilting, forestry and more. The country supper includes ham, corn on the cob, baked beans, veggies, and a beverage. It's a deal at $4.50 for adults and $2.50 for kids under eight. If diat's not enough there is always the country auction, and you can even wan a country quilt, a sheepskin or a country food hamper in die raffle.

Those who have the least trust in the common sense of average people, are the most demanding of the people's trust. Such is the case with the Harcourt government, which wants to deny you a vole on native land claims settlements, while insisting that it be given free rein to negotiate lhe very, title to Crown land on your behalf. Incredibly, the government has determined, without public consultation, that you won't have a vote on proposed land claims settlements. Never mind that First Nations will give their members that basic right. Non-natives will not be allowed the same right. When asked why British Columbians will not be allowed a vote on land claims settlements, the government has said that a vote in the legislature should be sufficient In other words, the NDP wants to have ils treaties rubber- stamped by government backbenchers, without first seeking approval from the people through regional rcferendums. The fact that land claims settlements will ultimately reshape British Columbia as we know it and create a new level of government is apparently not sufficient reason to give you a direct say. The Minister of Aboriginal Affairs has made the feeble argument that a referendum on proposed treaties in British Columbia would open the door to national referendums on our treaties. That is a ridiculous excuse for denying British Columbians a vote on treaties in their own province. It is just plain ludicrous to think that the federal government would hold 50 or 60 national referendums to approve treaties lhat only apply to British ' Columbia. Treaties will be voted upon in parliament, as they should be. Indeed, it is right and proper that legislators in both Ottawa and Victoria have an opportunity to vote on treaties that will have an impact on federal and provincial taxpayers. But there is an additional need to ensure that treaties are supported by local residents. For without that support, any deal would create resentment, confusion and conflict at the community level. Regional referendums would guarantee that all treaties ratified by the legislature would also have the strength of legitimacy in rural British Columbia that can only be gained through direct democracy. The Vancouver Sun arid Province have also argued against referendums on proposed treaties. One editorial suggested that regional votes would be unfair because the costs of settlements would be borne.mostly by taxpayers in greater Vancouver and Victoria. Certainly the question'of whether referendums should be held on a provincial or regional basis is a fair one, although the sheer volume of treaties lends itself more to a regional vote than to a provincial vote. Indeed, there will eventually be treaties in every region of the province, including Vancouver. However, the argument that the costs of settlements will mostly fall on the shoulders of taxpayers in the lower mainland is, frankly absurd. The vast majority of cash-dollar costs will be paid by the federal government, on behalf of all Canadian taxpayers. But within British Columbia, the folks who will pay the highest price for settlements, by far, will be the local people who live within the territory included in each treaty. It is their livelihoods, their communities and their families that will be most affected by settlements. Land claims settlements could give First Nations legal title over vast tracts of land. There are currently 40 claims filled with the BC Treaty Commission and as many as 60 expected in total, most of which will result in new self- governing arrangements. The bulk of British Columbia's share of costs will be in the form of Crown land and resources alienated as part of settlements, including tenure rights. In addition to gaining legal sovereignty over Crown land, native governments will have cither shared or sovereign jurisdiction over such areas as resource extraction, justice, culture, education, social services and health care. The implications for non-natives who work or live within the areas covered under native jurisdiction are certainly far greater than for people living elsewhere. The Sun editorial also argued that land claims settlements are too complex and sensitive for the public to be able to form an "intelligent opinion." It went on to say that "the history of referendums" (read, "Charlottetown Accord") shows that the public will generally vote No when "people don't understand an issue." And worse yet, that most people would likely be guided by racial prejudice if the "socially dangerous test" of referendums was ever employed for proposed treaties. Ergo, the Sun argued, we should simply rely on MLAs like myself to decide the question. Apart from the patronizing and elitist sentiments underlying this line of reasoning, the reality is, no one has a greater desire to see land claims resolved in a fair and affordable manner than regional residents. Nor is anyone more anxious to avoid racial tension than the people who have had to live with the friction caused by a lack of certainty about native rights. As for the argument that land claims settlements are too complex for average British Columbians to form a reasoned opinion; I say, "nonsense." Look at the referendum on the Charlottetown Accord. If anything, that experience proved that the surest safeguard to ensure common sense prevails in questions of broad public import is to trust in the common sense of average people. Certainly if natives will be accorded their legitimate right to vote on proposed treaties, non-natives should expect and demand no less. Surely it is better to give all voters a chance to reject a bad deal than it is to allow any government to impose an unwanted deal on the very people it will most affect. If a proposed treaty is eminently fair and affordable, there should be no fear of putting it to a vote. And even if it should fail to win local support, there would always be an opportunity to go back to the bargaining table. Conversely, once the deals are enshrined in law, all parties will have to live with them for evermore. Title and jurisdiction will be transferred permanently to First Nations, protected under the Canadian Constitution. There are other arguments to put land claims settlements to regional votes. If all parties knew in" advance of negotiations that any deal would ultimately have to, win local approval, initial bargaining demands would be more moderate. Parties would be forced to be more compromising, to ensure community concerns are adequately addressed. The negotiating process would be more open and the public would be better informed as talks were proceeding. Public support would have to be earned in order to win majority approval in the referendum process. All British Columbians would have a lot more influence on the negotiating process. In the final analysis, there is no defensible justification whatsoever for denying British Columbians an opportunity to vote on land claims settlements. Referendums need not be costly. They could be held in conjunction with municipal elections, or concurrently, say, once every two years. Certainly the marginal cost of giving all people a chance to vote on treaties in their region is a small price to pay to ensure that treaties are endorsed by the people. In closing, it should be stressed that the time to push for the right to vote on proposed settlements is now - not after the treaties are signed. The framework agreements that are currently being negotiated will specify what the ratification procedure will be for each treaty. It is therefore vitally important that the government gets the message now lhat British Columbians want a vote on proposed treaties. I want to be very clear: a BC Reform government under my leadership-would not ratify any treaty without a prior vote of approval from regional residents. If you agree that British Columbians must have a vote on land claims settlements, I urge you to make your voice heard now. This issue is simply too important to be ignored any longer and deserves to be debated in public, while there is still time for the Harcourt government to reconsider its negotiating position. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR More questions than answers on "refugees" Editor, The Star, Sir, All the scuzzle to muzzle MP Randy White in the Salinas- Mendoza case prompts questions we have just got to ask. In his search along the immigration shore he kicked and turned a pebble or two. Just look at all the flurry. So what would happen if we raised a few real rocks? What would be the scurry to cover then? There must be sometiiing awfully big crawling around what was to be the Canadian beach head. Just how big is it? How pervasive and how persuasive? It must be powerful to muzzle tlie media and gag MP's. I don't think we dtizens can pass this one by this time. Just who is running this country anyhow? How is it that illegal aliens are able to garner so much power? There must be organization here. What is it and how much money is involved? It must run into tlie tens or hundreds of Jhjjjjsands, perhaps much more. We demand that immigration come clean. The endorsement of silence must not go on. The only tiling it takes for the proliferation of evil is for good men to do nothing. "Ves, the time is now for tlie public to rise up and rally for Randy. In fact we need to stand up and scream. The pertinent federal number to note is 1-800- 665-9100.

Complete game reports are as follows: In die Midget football action the Langley Raiders rolled over the Cloverdale Bengals 32-0. The Raiders' offence netted over 500- yards on the hard running of tail back Tyler Cliristensen, who scored 4 touchdowns in die game,. and fullback Brendan Crowley and Dave Henderson. But head coach Ted Bleeker feels that defence has been one of their biggest successes, having only given up one touchdown in their first two games. "Our linebackers have been the backbone of tlie defence. Guys like Josh Simpson, Greg Birza, Shaun Muldoon, and Randall Chatwin have made the defence really look good," said Bleeker. Langley Thunder won a tough fought batde against die Atom Giants of Chilliwack. The Thunder defence kept them in the game with outstanding work from Brandon Robbins widi several sacks and tackles. David Balback and Wesley Hawkins came up with key tackles also. The final score was 12-8, said head coach, Dave Gifford. In the Jr. Bantam division, die underdogs bit back. Many players will be rubbing their wounds as they discover die unexpecting bite from an underdog team that's meaner than dieir reputation. The Langley Broncos took the Richmond Bombers for a great fight as they won 14-6 on home ground. Both teams came out from tlie start of die game hitting hard, producing some great naii biting plays as Trevor Anderson opened the score with 1 a 60 yard touchdown in the first half, including a 2 pts convert as an appetizer from Jesse Hawkins. In Uie third quarter fleet footed Jesse Hawkins made an astonishing reception (to the shock of many) to make a touchdown adding another 6 pts to the score. The Riclimond Bombers rallied back to drive in die ball at die end zone for 6 pts. Both defensive teams decided to shut down any more scoring, batding out a win for the Broncos. Honorable mentions go to Paul Patrignani and Mike Griffen on offence ancl Justin Lowery widi Dustin Warwick on defence. Also in die Jr. Bantam division,the Rebels rallied. The Rebels defence put in a strong effort in a 30-8 victory over die Cloverdale Cougars. The Cougars opened the scoring to go up 8-0 but on die ensuing kickoff Patrick Massey found his way to die end zone to set the pace. Tlie Rebels' defence led by Ryan Jones, Glenn Sheck and Sean Weston caused key Cougar . turnovers. The offence dien scored 30 unanswered points! The scoring was spread out with T.D.'s by Scott Weston and Ryan Jones. Rob Kenney also contributed his first T.D. of the season. Aaron Leib put in a good performance on offence running FIRST AID TIPS! "COOL AS A CUCUMBER" - Cucumbers are 96% water which makes it a great thirst quencher on hot days.

In the Bantam division, die Langley Mustangs played Cloverdale tough widi Warren Trainman and James Pearson getting touchdowns. The Mustangs had many chances to score but fell short, still showing much improvement over last week. In the Flag division, the Lions raided Riclimond. The Lions, playing in Richmond, defeated the Richmond Raiders 25-24 in an offensive struggle that was decided by the Lions' defence. Adam Johnson intercepted a Raiders' pass and ran it in for a touchdown. Also scoring for the Lions were Mark Gill, and Jeff Belanger widi 2 touchaowns. Other key players were Spencer Deol and Derek Hosclika. The Langley Mavericks defeated the North Delta Spartans 19-18 in an absolute cliff hanger game. The team has shaken off their first game nerves and are beginning to perform as a solidified team. Offensively and defensive ly the team was outstanding bringing the home town crowd to its feet many times. In a tightly fought showdown the Langley Cowboys gunned down die North Delta Pee Wee team. Brian O'Malley, die Cowboys' starting quarterback made a spectacular 47 yard end sweep for a touchdown in the 3rd quarter. Again stellar defence set the pace for the Cowboy team. Tlie defence was led by great tackling by Ryan Hunter, Adam Leib, Matt Pass, Blair MacPherson and David Alirens. The Oudaws Jr. Bantam team defence had • an outstanding game holding Surrey less than 100 yards net offence with 5 1st downs. The offensive line did an outstanding job again controlling eveiy aspect of the line. Touchdowns were scored by Jeff Herd for 1, Neil McKinley for 2, running back Mac McKinley for 1 and Jeff MacPherson with 1 T.D. "Thank you to Mr. Berger and other VIPs for their attendance at our game," said head coach Guy NXfoods.

Network will start up after the Labour Day holiday, Sept. 5 and speedily work into a full slate of events. The bus trips for July and August were all a great success, however some way must be found to do away with freebees and a charge made for all trips. A case in point; die free bus trip to die select Rose Garden on 38 Avenue was over-booked but because it was free, several members never showed, thus depriving others of a seats-The afternoon itself proved to be very entertaining and the two large houses of miniature roses were much admired. A generous afternoon tea was provided by the owners at the close of the tour, in a beautiful corner of die garden, and was greaUy appreciated. Two full bus loads were driven into the PNE for four hours of browsing, however,- the exhibition seems to be going downhill fast. The Seniors Network of Aldergrove featured a twenty minute exercise to music put on by twelve of the students under the leadership of dieir instructress. The exercise uses all the body muscles and while die participants finished in good shape the spectators were left limp and exhausted. In die cattle barns far more stalls were empty than occupied and horses were hard to find. I have now found out that the different classes of catde and horses now have their own separate clays to be shown ancl you have to watch your guide to find the days they will be on display. Not much of a way to mn an agricultural fair, for the cattle barns were empty of viewers but Playland, the casino, and bingo were in full swing. So it's now time for the Matsqui Agri Fair to take over as a western farm fair. I read in the article by the Star's reporter Inge Langmann that the PNE has much improved; no doubt that is correct if you in clude the "money is no object" show imports Uiat have no relation to agriculture and are strictly designed to bring in money. For a horticulture, and craft fair, Aldergrove, despite die severe disparity in money available to put die show on, would win hands down for the amount ancl quality of displays. The "pony eight" pony teams' exhibition of incredible driving skills, a colour packed show, was witnessed by less than thirty people, niosUy seniors. In the home division, the organ and- piano people were absent; also missing were the numerous kitchen gadget people who guarantee to make housework so very enjoyable. .. In September the Tune up ancl Fitness class to music will be ongoing, Monday and Friday, 10:30 to li:30 a.m. in the Community Centre.

On the last night, the BC 4Hers were treated to a lobster feast. They attended a Nova Scotian 4H achievement day and learned tlie similarities and differences between east coast and west coast 4H. For instance, in Nova Scotia first place ribbons are red and seconds are blue, while here in B.C., it's the other way around. Just under a week after their nine- day visit, tlie exchange members from Nova Scotia came to B.C. They were amazed by B.C.'s mountains, forests and traffic jams...not to mention boxed potato chips. The group visited Grouse Mountain, Lynn Cariyon, Stanley Park, Victoria and Science World. The best of times were not had visiting these places, but raUier just being together.

The celebrity handmilking competition drew special attention to the diverse PNE agricultural program. Thousands of people are enjoying special features in the Walking Ring six times daily at the PNE, which continues through Labour Day, Sept. 5, at Exhibition Park. The fastest hands in the west VANCOUVER - Bill Vin Reeuwyk of Matsqui proved once again he has the fastest hands in the west. The Matsqui dairy farmer and Holstein breeder won tlie Pacific National Exhibition professional hand- milking competition for the fourth straight year, Aug. 23, collecting a total of 53 kilograms of milk from tliree different cows in just three minutes. VanReeuwyk has also won the professional handmilking competition in Matsqui four of the last five years, proving there really is an art to milking cows by hand, a practice no longer used on today's modern dairy farms. Making the competition more difficult was tlie fact tlie cows are no longer used to being milked by hand, ancl were only loosely held in tlie walking ring in front of the Agrodome. Second place in the nine-person event went to another Matsqui dairyman, John Pruim, who managed to obtain 4.35 kg of milk from his tliree cows. Third place went to Henry Philps of Mt. Lehman, who totalled 31 kg of milk. Philps is the son of former six-time PNE handmilking champion Fred Philps. While retired from active competition, tlie elder Philps still supervised the mooternity ward and demonstration milking parlour in tlie PNE display barn, proving he knows both the old and new ways of milking cows. The professional event was followed by a celebrity competition featuring teams of local media and PNE directors. Placing first, in the event were Sheila Dunn and Gerry O'Day of C-ISL 650. The. popular radio personalities earned $300 for the Caring Place by coaxing 2.2 kg of milk out of their cow in a two-minute span. Placing second were the team of Cindy Kilbourn and Mark Patric from The Bridge in Vancouver. They donated the $150 second-place prize to the Vancouver Food Bank. Finishing third were Jill Taylor of Mountain FM in Squamish and PNE Director Merrilee Robson. Their $50 prize was split between the Pemberton Agricultural and Community Association and Canuck Place.

The Sign Control Bylaw regulates the size, number and placement of signs throughout the Township, thus influencing the community's visual appearance and the clarity of public information. The purpose in updating the bylaw is to: • make the bylaw more current and user friendly: • address residents' concerns about aesthetics and clutter; and • allow for appropriate variations in signs based upon location. The Township requests applications from members of the public who wish to participate on a Task Force which will oversee the process. Supported by Township staff, the Task Force will: • review and recommend to Council a public consultation program; • evaluate information received through the public consultation program and from other sources; and • review and recommend to Council the form and content of a new Sign Control Bylaw. The work of the Task Force will commence during September 1994, will involve several meetings and workshops over approximately four months and will conclude when Council adopts a new Sign Control Bylaw.

V3A 3Z8 Attention: Mayor John Scholtens Fax: 533-6098 35-2 BLIRNABY - The number of students being driven to school has increased dramatically in recent years, probably a result of growing safety concerns. A travel survey conducted by die Greater Vancouver Regional District, BC Transit, and the Ministry of Transportation and Highways found that between 1985 and 1992 there was an increase of over 66 per cent in stuv dents being driven to school. "This may reflect growing concerns over the. safety of streets - children on bicycles mixing with high volumes of automobile traffic -or the general level of child safety in our society, fears about violence," a report on the survey said. It adds that school bus cutbacks and more difficult suburban journeys to school could also be factors. Today nearly as many students go to school by car as walk, 35.5 per cent compared to 36.2 per cent. The use of bicycles has declined sharply so that today fewer than tliree per cent take then! to school.

With the growing demand for modern telecommunications equipment, like fax machines, modems and cellular phones, over 13,500 new telephone numbers are requested everyday. To meet this demand, the North American Numbering Plan is being modified to add more area codes. As a result we will have to change the way we dial. Beginning September 4, whenever you call long distance, even within your own area code, you must dial the area code. For example 1 (or 0) + area code + seven digit number. (The exceptions are calls placed to .800 and 900 numbers.) This change is affecting all Canadians.

A "wonderland" of camping, cookouts and bluegrass tunes for 7th Chilliwack festival CHILLIWACK - If you are looking for a great way to wrap up a beautiful summer, the 7th annual Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival may be just what you're looking for. From September 2 to 4, die Chilliwack Antique Power-land will be transformed into a wonderland of camping, cook-outs and, of course, some of the best bluegrass music around. Come for the weekend or just spend the day. Weekend passes and day passes are available, with reduced prices for kids. The Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival offers something for everyone, and diat means more than just great music. Hay rides, corn shuckin' contests and an open mic are all part of the excitement. The corn shucked in die various contests will go to feeding festival-goers at the free nightly corn roasts. These feasts really add to die down-home ambiance of the festival as campers and musicians alike gather round to enjoy fresh Chilliwack corn. The ensuing sing alongs often go late into the evening. This is a family oriented event: no alcohol is allowed on site. There will be children's concerts and activities diroughout die weekend', plus a special Bluegrass Gospel Hour on Sunday morning. Wonderful home cooking is another reason why the Chilliwack festival is a favourite on the bluegrass circuit. The daily pancake breakfasts are legendary (almost). All this excitement is in addi- -tion to die great line-up of bands booked for the weekend. Making their first appearance at the festival this year are. The Dixie Flyers, Big Bill Johnson, The Bluegrass Princesses and Due North. Returning to delight Chilliwack audiences are Jerusalem Ridge, Dark Horse, and The Skillit BPiP Alberta's Jerusalem Ridge bring their outstanding harmonies and instrumental work back to the Chilliwack Bluegrass Festival this weekend.

AUGUST 31. 1994 ROCKIN' AFTER MIDNIGHT Art versus commerce war rages By KURT LANGMANN Congratulations to the winners of The Star's contest for Bruce Cockburn Sunflower Sunday concert tickets — Brad Jersak, Lee Hollaar and grand prize winner Fiona Churcher. I hope you enjoyed tlie show as much as we did, and fortunately we were spared the worst of the rainfall Sunday afternoon until near the end of Cockburn's show. I hadn't seen Cockburn in concert for at least a dozen years, and for those two shows he was still a solo folkie. These days he's got the full rock band and heavily politicized songs, although he did pull out his acoustic guitar and mandolin forborne splendid fingerstyle work on Sunday, too. He's got a unique sound with the band — including the talented guitarist Colin Linden ~ and a lot of good songs, although these days his repertoire doesn't go back much further than his early '80s hit, Wondering Where The Lions Are. I've been a Cockburn fan since the early '70s and it was nice to catch up with an old friend, even if his greying head reminded me that we're all getting older (hey, getting older beats tlie alternative every time!). TICKET FIGHTfG It was quite the surprise to hear that Pearl Jam drummer Dave Abbruzzese has quit the band to go onto other projects. The new album is due in fall, called Vitalogy, but it's an open question when the band will return to the concert trail. Pearl Jam, including Abbruzzese, have led anti-competition charges against the huge Ticketmaster network now being heard by a U.S. House subcommittee, and all manner of entertainers and promoters have been called to testify. What set tlie debacle off was Pearl Jam's attempt to do a summer tour with ticket prices as low as $20, and the band's attempts at having Ticketmaster significantly reduce its service charges. Performers and their entourages generally receive the lion's share" of ticket prices, and tlie profit for promoters can be marginal, however it's alleged that kickbacks from the service charges can be quite profitable for the promoters with exclusive contracts with Ticket- master. For its part, Ticketmaster says the cost of their computer software teclinology has to be recouped. Perhaps coincidentally, ownership of both the American and Canadian Ticketmasters have recently changed hands. It's questionable whether this has, as alleged, driven ticket prices skyhigh for the likes of Barbra Streisand, Pink Floyd or the Eagles. In the Eagles' case, they are coming to the Pacific Coliseum on Oct. 30, and prices have come down somewhat compared to the $100 U.S. price that's antagonized more than a few Yanks. Top Vancouver price is $89.50 plus GST and service charges, and "cheap seats" are about $40 ~ plus service charges and GST Reports say the tliree- hour show is superlative and, despite the price, has been drawing bigger crowds than solo tours by Don Henley and other former members. The Rolling Stones have set two Edmonton dates, but still no word on the date or price for Vancouver, aside from that it may come sooner than the speculated Dec. 17 date at BC Place, ancl should be announced shortly after Labour Day. Apparently, the Stones' production, involving three huge, identical stages travelling the continent, is a multi-million dollar affair that won'f realize a profit until Feb- niary at the earliest, provided the crowds are as big as hoped for. Judging by the heavy demand for tickets that won't be a problem. VOODOO ROCK Certainly, the Stones' new CD, Voodoo Lounge is a worthy album to help carry the geriatric rockers into their fourth decade. It's the first of a multi-million dollar and multi-album deal for Virgin Records (who also get the rights to tlie band's back-catalog, which is being remastered and re-released over coming months, and should make plenty of cash for all involved in the deal). The fifteen tracks make for a long album and is at times reminiscent of Exile On Main Street, still tlie band's all-time classic. The band is notoriously sloppy in concert, although critics say Uieir current tour is slide and tight, but on record there has never been a band that can keep such a tight groove and solid feel for real rock & roll. The Voodoo Lounge name conies from guitarist Keith Richards, who found a starving stray kitten along the road to rehearsals. He said tlie fact that the derelict cat survived entitled it to the name Voodoo, and its new home in their rehearsal space obviously warranted the name Voodoo Lounge. Perhaps tlie same could apply to Richards, who has survived more self-abuse than anyone could expect and is still the most rhytlmiically adept player in the business, Vfcxxloo Lounge is not their greatest work but it will stand up as better than just about anything else you'll hear this year. There's also still tickets available for John Mellencamp's Sept. 8 show at tlie Coliseum. His new Dance Naked CD is short at just over 30 minutes, and keeps it to the point, which is basically a feel good rockout for his pared down band. He's made hetter albums — it falls far short of even Human Wheels — but if this is the spirit he carries into concert, it'll be a good time. His remake of Van Morrison's mid-70s Wild ^"'^ ■fc.nA Eyewear Selection System Eyewear for the whole family from Tura, the most complimented eyewear in the world. m UNITED OPTICAL Night hit is the current hit, even if many of us aren't too fond of the start-stop twist on the original rave-up. I think it's a total cock- up of Morrison's song, but I have to admit it does grow on me. POETIC CHAMP As for Morrison, he recently released a double live album (Live In San Francisco) that puts Mel- lencamp ancl just about anyone else to shame when it conies to blending soul and art. He's currently working on a new studio album (what a blessing that this man is so prolific) before undertaking the next leg of a world tour that could bring him to Vancouver in October but in the meantime he's produced, along with longtime arranger Phil Coulter, a ten-song CD of his songs as recorded by other artists. Called No Prima Donna: Tlie Songs Of Van Morrison, it has some outstanding moments that rival Morrison's own versions of his songs. To my ears the peaks are jazz singer Cassandra Wilson's version of Crazy Love (I swoon every time I hear it), Elvis Costello's acapella version of Full Force Gale (said Costello, "Recording Full Force Gale I realized it was as much a folk song as it was gospel music. I suppose they are the same thing. I am glad to put on record, in every sense, my respect and affection for Van's music") and Marianne. Faithfull's rendition of Madame George. Tlie others are, to varying degrees, successful tributes to the man even if they will never replace tlie originals — they include Sinead O'Connor (You Make Me Feel So Free), Brian Kennedy (Queen Of The Slipstream), Liam Neeson (Coney Island), Hothouse Flowers (Bright Side Of The Road), Brian Kennedy and Shana Morrison (Irish Heartbeat), Phil Coulter Orchestra (Tupelo Honey) and Lisa Stansfield (Friday's Child). As Neeson, a fellow Irishman best known for his acting, says, "I really got into (Morrison's) music and waited with anticipation for every album of his and was never disappointed. His themes would always be slightly different -- the guy can walk through a meadow and write an album about it." Vancouver Record Collectors Association hold their fall Record and CD Sale, Sept. 11 at Kitsilano Community Centre, 2690 Larch Street. Admission is $2 and features over 55 tables of music and memorabilia, with proceeds' going to its History of Vancouver Rock series of four albums and a book project currently underway.

Orchestral folk fest to hit the airwaves MISSION - A two hour segment of this summer's Mission Folk Music Festival featuring the CBC Orchestra and BC fiddler Daniel Lapp will be broadcast nationwide, Monday, September 5 on tlie CBC Stereo Network, 1057 FM. Broadcast time is 9 a.m. after the news. Daniel Lapp was a big hit at this year's festival and at the Commonwealth Games Harbour festival in Victoria. His prize winning fiddling will be featured in "Suite Carignan", also known as the Patriquin Suite. The piece was originally composed for the Grand Ballet Canadien. The festival was fortunate in obtaining the services of Grand Ballet Orchestra conductor Jacques Laioombe to conduct at this year's event. Other pieces from the orchestra's festival performance scheduled for broadcast include Bela Bartok's Hungarian Pictures, the English Folk Song Suite by Vaughan Williams, the Married Beau Suite by Purcell and Weinzweig's Barn Dance from die Red Ear of Corn. The appearance of the orchestra at die Mission Folk Music Festival proved to be an innovative and very successful piece of programming. While it is early to tell, talk has already begun about possible orchestra concerts in the future as part of an expanded festival program. In the meantime, diose who missed this year's event can hear it on die radio.

According to the Automotive Information Council, faulty auto locks or worn-out keys can also cause lockout problems. If you have difficulty inserting the key into the lock, dirt may be the culprit. Flushing the lock with a spray- type lubricant will help. Do not use oil in the lock; it will only aggravate the situation by clogging the lock. If flushing the lock does not remedy the problem, consult a locksmith. Speak |"Automobilese"? Since most people rarely use words like "alternator" or "master cylinder" in everyday conversation, this car language, or "automobilese," can be intimidating for many consumers when it comes time to take the car in for repairs. To make communicating with your mechanic easier, Automotive Information Council (AIC) has compiled a list of a few automotive parts and their function in the automobile. Alternator—A belt-driven generator on the engine which produces AC current which is converted to DC current to charge the car's battery. Distributor—A mechanical device containing the breaker points that distribute high-voltage electricity to the proper spark plug at the proper time. Drum brake—A brake design in which a component much like an open-end drum is attached to the wheel. Brake shoes are forced against the inner surface of the drum to provide braking action. Brake shoe—A semi-circular metal plate located within a drum brake. It is lined with a high-friction material called a brake lining. Disc brake—A braking system used mainly on the front wheels of cars. Braking force is applied by two friction pads that are squeezed against a rotating disc by a caliper. Master cylinder—A piston and cylinder assembly of the brake system that is filled with brake fluid. As the car's brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder and this force is transmitted to the individual wheel cylinders and/or calipers. Choke—A plate near the top of the carburetor that enriches the air-fuel mixture by restricting airflow to the engine. Clutch—A mechanism that connects and disconnects the engine from the transmission. By closing the car language communications gap, says AIC, there are few opportunities for misunderstandings and resulting auto repair complaints. If the key fits easily into the lock, but must be jiggled in order to make the lock turn, the key may be worn. New keys must be made. Take the vehicle key numbers with you to your dealership or a locksmith. Vehicle key numbers can be found on the original tab or ring that came with the car or truck. If the numbers of the keys cannot be found, consult your dealership. Of course, this will add to the cost of your replacement keys, so it is best to keep a record of car key numbers at home in a safe place for future reference. New keys made from the same numbers should only take a few minutes, unless the dealership is out of key blanks to fit your car. In that case, try a locksmith. On the average, they carry a wider selection of blanks in stock. Always test your new keys immediately to see if they work! Probably the best preventive measure to worn-out keys or those left locked in your car is to carry an extra set of keys with you. Use them only for these occasions to prevent them from wearing out. Also, keep an extra set at home in the event both sets of "traveling" keys get lost. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 31. 1994 13 Why Does Your Car Burn So Much Oil? Do you think your car may be using too much oil? One sign that an engine is burning oil is blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. There can be several reasons for this condition, but the most common is worn valve-guide seals. Here's why: The valves in a typical engine may open and close as often as 100,000 times per hour at highway speeds. The stem of the valve, sliding up and down in its guide, • is fitted with- a special sea ™^^^_™ designed to permit only a limited amount of oil to pass. (Some oil is necessary for lubrication, but too much creates oil-burning problems.) Eventually these seals will wear, harden or otherwise fail. That's when oil burning begins. The good news is that many oil- burning conditions are easily avoided by proper maintenance. One example of neglect is worn piston rings—regular oil and filter changes can ensure your engine's rings last well beyond the 100,000-mile mark. On the other hand, a poor maintenance record can lead to premature wear and, eventually, an expensive "ring job" to repair the damage. The condition of your car's oil can also tell you about the engine's health. If your dipstick registers more fluid than necessary or the oil smells of gasoline, it could mean gasoline is beginning to seep into your lubrication system. The diluted oil soon becomes thin enough to work its way into the combustion chamber, where it burns and ends up in the air as smoke. Oil and gasoline can also mix when the accelerator is pumped to keep the engine from stalling. Avoid this situation with regular tuneups. New Plugs Help Misfiring spark plugs can aggravate engine problems by allowing raw, unburned gasoline into the crankcase. Not only does this oil and gasoline mixture create exhaust smoke, it can also lead to accelerated ^^^^^^ engine wear. Another factor in oil burning is a malfunctioning positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve, which is intended to route oil vapors through the combustion chamber rather than permitting them to escape into the atmosphere. If the PCV system is not in working order, it can be the cause of oil burning. Remember: Excessive oil burning is a condition that gradually worsens and degrades engine operation. Stop' problems before they start with a regular maintenance program. Early detection and correction are essential.

Therefore, it's wise to gradually reduce speed as fog looms up ahead. A good rule of thumb is to slow to 20 to 30 miles an hour if you can see six car lengths ahead; drive only 10 to 15 miles an hour if the visibility is no more than two car lengths. Turn on your headlights but use only the low beams. Low-beam headlights throw light down onto the road surface rather than focusing the light out and up into the fog, thereby creating glare. Motorists who often drive in "soup" might decide to have fog lamps installed. Remember Wipers Remember to use your windshield wipers. Moisture can coat the windshield, making it even more difficult to see. A thin film of condensation also can build up on the inside of the windows, so run the defroster for a few minutes. Avoid jamming on your brakes since fog can create slick road surfaces. It can easily require twice the distance to stop on wet roads as it does on dry surfaces. Keep as far right as possible from the center lane. Use the edge of the road or center line as a guide to keep you on the road in really dense fog. Never try to pass in fog. However, if someone tries to pass you, make it easy for them by slowing down. If you really can't see well enough to drive, pull off the road as far as possible. Turn on the car's flashers or another driver may think the shoulder of the road is clear and ram your car from behind. ^CHRYSLER FIVE STAR SERVICE ■ WITH OUR LOW EVERYDAY PRICES w LUBE, OIL AND FILTER Includes: 'mk •Up to 5L of Mopar Premium Oil • A Mopar Filter iW0^--' • 15 point inspection 'l^tafe!/ \ Please ask your Service Advisor for details.

Early Darkness Puts Stress on Drivers' Eyes Winter driving often means driving in darkness, especially for millions of commuters, and not everyone's eyes are up to it. According to the American Optometric Association, everyone sees better during the day than at night because more light reaches the eyes. For many people, the difference is significant enough to hamper their nighttime driving ability. A driver with 20/20 eyesight will see 20/32 at night. Add a tinted windshield and the acuity drops to 20/46. Drivers with 20/30, 20/40 or less daytime acuity may have inadequate vision for driving in darkness. Since most states require no better than 20/40 vision acuity for a driver's license, there could be many drivers on the road at night who are not seeing as well as they should to drive safely. Changes in vision usually occur so gradually that people are unaware they are not seeing as well as they once were. After conducting a thorough eye examination, however, an optometrist can determine whether or not a person's eyes need help to see clearly and effortlessly. In addition to distance vision, an optometrist will test such driving vision skills as the abilities to see out of the corner of the eye, to judge distances, to perceive colors accurately and to change eye focus rapidly from far to near and back. An examination also gives a doctor of optometry an opportunity to detect signs of eye disease or any other health problems that may be affecting the eyes or vision. Check Those Eyes AOA recommends annual eye examinations for drivers in the 16- to 25-year bracket and for those over 35. An examination every two years may suffice for 25- to 35-year-old drivers, unless their optometrist recommends otherwise. Some people may need to wear glasses only for night driving. Others may require prescription lenses whenever they get behind the wheel or for all seeing tasks. Whether or not prescription lenses are worn, drivers can make it easier for their eyes to adapt to night-driving light levels by wearing sunglasses when outdoors on sunny days. Optometrists say being in the bright sun for as little as two or three hours can delay the achievement of normal night vision for several hours later than usual. Sunglasses, however, should never be worn at night All drivers can aid their night- driving vision by keeping windshields and headlights clean and wipers in proper working order.

A poorly maintained car says a lot about the owner and his or her care of possessions. Your automobile not only represents a large investment of hard- earned dollars, but also reflects personal standards and habits. Following a regular schedule of personal and professional maintenance enables you to dramatically increase the trade-in value of your car and your pride of ownership. Practice these tips to keep your car from aging. Set some time aside in your weekly schedule to keep your car's appearance in top condition. A gleaming, well- groomed outward appearance keeps your car looking new longer. Regular washing is a must. Use cool water and a mild soap made for cars. Do not use laundry detergents. They will dull the finish. And, although you may be tempted to improve your suntan while washing your car, don't do it! For best results, always wash your car in the shade. Vinyl tops need special attention. They will continue to look their best if you use a mild soap and lukewarm water for cleaning. Scrubbing lightly with a soft-bristle baish will thoroughly clean the textured surface. When the vinyl is dry, apply vinyl dressing to revitalize the surface. This keeps it with a showroom look. Follow the product's directions for best results. Mend vinyl rips early. Repair kits will save you many dollars at trade-in time. The next procedure is removal of tar. Use tar solvents and rub gently. Wash the solvent off before applying wax. Also, give some attention to the chrome area. You can purchase products specifically developed to clean rust spots from chrome. Wash thoroughly before applying wax to the chrome. Wax will retard rusting and keep the chrome in "sparkling condition. In general, you will get your money's worth from soft paste waxes. Using clean, soft cloths, shine only small areas at a time. Wax will not be needed with every washing, but it's easy to tell when you need to wax your car. Water will no longer form beads on the surface. When waxing, apply steady pressure but never rub hard. Here are a couple of tips for special problems. Tip one: If you are having difficulty removing bug spots, use a little baking soda dissolved in water. Tip two: If the walls of your tires have lost their new look and are dull in appearance, apply vinyl-top dressing. Do not let the dressing dry before you remove it or it will form tiny white spots. Apply in a small area and wipe off immediately. For best results, follow the directions on the product. Occasionally, you should check for surface scratches and chips in the paint finish. You may decide to repair these small scars yourself. To find the number of the paint used on your car, you must look in two places—under the hood or on the serial plate. If it's not on the serial plate, which is located on the dash (usually on the driver's side), then look under the hood. Here you should find the plate in the radiator area or on the car's fire wall (the panel between you and the engine area). You should be able to get small bottles of pre-mixed paint from your auto dealer or parts and service center. If he doesn't have your number in stock, he can refer you to a paint shop that does or that will mix the color for you. Most of the chipped or scratched areas will be very tiny. You will save yourself much expense in professional repair if you stop these tiny areas from rusting and enlarging in size. Usually, a dab of paint will do the trick. Use a steady hand and apply with skill and care so you do not detract from the appearance of your car If the spot is the size of a dime or less, you may want to sand it carefully to eliminate a rough border. You should also use a primer to build up layers before applying the paint that matches the finish of your car. This procedure is fine for scratches and chips. It will not work for rust spots. That requires much more preparation. Do not forget to clean the interior of your car. It needs regular attention, too. Clean out the ashtrays. Wipe down the upholstery with a vinyl furniture spray or cleaning fluid for fabric stains. Use leather soap and water for real leather. The carpeting needs vacuuming and shampooing if dingy. Repair vinyl or fabric rips and tears as early as possible with products developed for just such needs. Practicing these tips will keep you proud of your car and help slow its aging process. f/f 'S AUTO BODY & PAINT SHOP LTD. | 27411 FRASER HIGHWAY, P.O. BOX 266 ALDERGROVE, B.C.

It continues to cough, chatter and rock after you turn off the ignition switch and remove the key. Your first reaction is to sit there and stare at the dashboard instruments in disbelief. Your second reaction might be to kick the accelerator sharply. At this point, the engine usually stops. If your car won't stop, the solution may be a very simple one. Change to a higher octane fuel the next time you fill up the tank. This should stop "after-run" or "dieseling" as it is called. The cause is an improper air/fuel mixture setting on the carburetor or the spark timing. Therefore, changing to a higher grade of gasoline usually solves this problem. Newer model cars are especially prone to after-run and dieseling. This is due to changes in design. Emission controls and provision for more output to run accessories make newer cars run hotter. As a result, your newer model may cause you great irritation by dieseling. If switching to a higher octane gasoline doesn't cure the problem, visit your dealer or service center for a checkup.

The Chilcotin country is a fabulous escape from urban life, and is renowned for its scenic trails, lakes and wildlife, offering also lots of Kokanee and trout fishing and hunting opportunities. Bob Morley is well known in Aldergrove, having gone to the high school over twenty years ago and he still has family living here. A former drummer-singer for Teazer and construction worker, he figures they've found their slice of heaven at Puntzi Lake and plan to stay for keeps. The resort is a genuine bargain, with comfortable furnished cabins for $32 a night, rowboats for $12 a day and outboards for $6 an hour. Call or fax them at 481-1186 to book a "getaway" in the heart of the Chilcotin. -Sylvia Langmann photo Brondell makes championship exit from PNE's dairy show VANCOUVER - It was a storybook finish. Bruno Giacomazzi of Brondell Holsteins in Aldergrove capped a long and illustrious career in the Pacific National Exhibition Dairy Competition, Aug. 22, in dramatic fashion, winning both the grand and reserve grand championship rosettes in a hotly-contested Holstein competition. This is the final year Giacomazzi, a Holstein Master Breeder, will bring a complete show string to tine PNE, as he is auctioning off all his bred heifers and milking cows in early September ancl heading into .semi-retirement. One of Western Canada's top showherds, Brondell Holsteins regularly vied for championship honors. Giacomazzi, rated a Master Breeder by Holstein Canada, won both premier breeder and premier exhibitor banners on numerous occasions. This year was no exception, as he again earned the premier breeder banner. Judge Brian Carswell of Prince Edward Island carefully assessed over 80 animals before selecting Giacomazzi's outstanding three- year-old, Brondell Starbuck .Bambi, as the senior and grand champion Holstein. Bambi narrowly edged out four-year-old Knightholm Starbuck Prism for the coveted award. Prism, another fine cow frorii Giacomazzi's superb herd, had to settle for the reserve grand championship this year after being named grand champion last year. Giacomazzi brought a third animal into the senior championship round, that being the second-place mature cow, Brondell Elevation Boots (the top two animals from each of the individually-aged classes enter the championship). He also won the senior yearling class with Brondell Achiever Illusion and placed second in the junior yearling class with Brondell Broker Indora, then lined up his winners for first-place in die breeder's herd class. Finally, his third-place four-year-old, Brondell Vic Hazy, was cited as having the second best udder in die show. Giacomazzi is not retiring completely. He is keeping his calves and open heifers and promises to continue to visit the PNE showring "as long as I still have animals." The championship for reserve junior female, was won by Glenlilac Horace Minie, a spectacular senior calf shown by Stephen Higgs of Abbotsford. Hamming Holsteins of Langley, counted the day a success, bringing tliree animals into the championship rounds: Hamming Prelude Jessie (second winter calf), Hamming Lindy Susie (second summer yearling), and Hamming Starbuck Iris (first mature cow). Aug. 23, Carswell judged tlie Ayrshire breed, which also presented a large number of high- quality animals, thanks to the involvement of several prairie breeders. Named the premier breeder was the Anderlini family of Langley. The Anderlini's show string, which won Uie breeder's herd award, was led by two-year- old Anderlini's Abel Bev, the competition's reserve senior ancl reserve grand champion, ancl by this year's PNE Super Cow, Anderlini Liberator's Libby. The three-time PNE Ayrshire grand champion placed second in the mature cow class this year. The Anderlinis also brought Anderlini's Willy Mary, the second three-year-old, into the championship round. Perennial contenders, Craigentinney Farms of Langley, also made multiple appearances in the championship rounds, bringing in the second calf (Craigentinney EJade Jocasa), die second five-year-old <Linclen Lea Jade's Eureka) and tlie first mature cow (Fisher Dairy CJ Edith). Following the^ two competitions, Eric Beck of Langley was awarded the Barney MacGregor Showmanship Award. Beck, who showed cattle on behalf of a number of breeders including Beckhope and Craigentinney Farms, was singled out for his abilities and demeanor both in the showring and in the barns.

She needs some advice. Her husband's foolin' around on her and her kids are always misbehaving. Plus, the latest on "Hard Copy" is that her ex-daughter-in- law, Diana has l^een busy on the phone for die last 2 years making rude calls to some guy. This is a family that needs help, so, on behalf of Elizabeth, we request your advice to her. Yours truly, Your #1 fans. Dear Lara & Lois, I WAS amused by your column last week. To be asked to give advice to royalty is indeed a step up for me. Poor old Elizabeth, to be born into the spotlight might be nice but would all the folk who have the same problems want them aired in the press and television? On the other hand, die kings and queens of Britain have had a long history of problems, A century of achievement VANCOUVER - For the past 100 years, farmers in British Columbia have relied on the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture for support, encouragement, advice and assistance in their agricultural enterprises. To mark this milestone, the ministry is celebrating "A Century of Achievement" with a keynote display in the Taste of B.C. exhibit in the Showcase Building during the 1994 PNE. "We have put together an excellent photographic display comparing vintage agricultural scenes to views of modern agricultural technology and production systems," explains display co-ordinator Wayne Wickens. mostly brought on by dieir own arrogance and for several, their madness at Uie end of their lives. One has only to go to die library ancl look up some English history. For instance - Charles II was not impressed by die fact that his father was executed as a traitor. He was known as the "Merrie Monarch", married a homely Portugese princess and then had affairs with dozens of women, from serving girls to aristocrats. He was in die midst of one naughty night when die Dutch sailed up the Thames and destroyed part of the British navy. George II - as Prince of Wales, quarrelled so violently with his dad, George I, diat he was placed under house arrest. It was six years before they reconciled. After that he quarrelled with his i own son. Then the pcx>r soul lost his reason and went totally mad. George 111 - who as a fat wastral heir to the throne was known as the Prince of Whales. He married in 1795 and after die birth of his only child, a daughter, he and his wife separated after one year of marriage. For 25 years diere was bitterness and » public dissension between them but was tempered by the fact that the King kept his love affairs in England while the Queen took hers in Europe, ln his fifties, he, too, went mad. And then there's the one about, well maybe not today...take out a book on Uiem all at your local library. Don't forget Henry VIII. And so with all those naughty ancestors behind them, what can they do? One must keep up appearances, mustn't one? Let's see what Prince Edward does widi his life. Maybe mummy and daddy will have better days coming. Let's hope so. So my advice to Her M is take early retirement and move to a sheep fann in Australia. Then we'll see how King Charles III handles the job. Jay Duke coaxes Mister Brown over a fence during the Jet Energy sponsored $40,000 Grand Prix at Milner Downs.

Sheep champions repeat VANCOUVER - Three of the four supreme championships at the 1994 Pacific 1| National Exhibition Sheep Competition in Vancouver, Aug. 20-22, went to repeat winners. Judge, Brenda Miller of Oregon, selected Vi and Janice Johnston of C<x|uillam, Jo and David Sleigh of Brambel- wood Farms, Whonnock, and Heather Hanson of Rimbey, Alberta, in the supreme champi- onsliips. The only change in the supreme championships was in the Get of Sire category which this year went to a trio of Dorsets shown by Dan. R. Cadsand of Rimbey. Awards in the Suffolk competition went to Irene Kostiuk of Brass Bell Farms in Aldergrove, who captured the ewe championship with her yearling, Brass Bell Lisa IC and the reserve ram championship with her yearling, Brass Bell 7C. Other Hampshire awards went to the Baker family of Grandison farms in Langley, whose ram lamb, GMD71D, was named the reserve champion ram and Eugene and Linda Hauser of Aldergrove, who won the feature breed's special ewe-with-lamb- at-foot class. The Hausers also guided their ewe lamb, Morningstar Sassy 107C, to the reserve champi onship in the Dorset competition. They typify the attitude of most exhibitors, always looking forward to their appearance at the PNE. "As breeders, we want to stay here. The PNE is the prestige show for us. It allows us to promote our genetics and compare our efforts to other breeders," Linda Hauser says. She considered her trip to the PNE a success even though she often found herself closer to the bottom than die top of a class. "If my ram is at the top of the class, I know he's a good one. If he stands at the bottom, I know I have to cull him. As breeders, we have to compare our genetics to other breeders or we become barn-blind." She also enjoys the attention breeders receive and being able to inform urban residents about animal agriculture. "We had more people at the show than ever," she notes, "the grandstand was packed during the competitions and there were wall-to wall people in the bams. We talked to 1,000 people a day and gave them information they couldn't get any other way." The championship, for reserve champion ram, went to a yearling, JB Southdowns 8C, shown by J.B. Southdowns of Aldergrove.

Grey matter takes on dark matter 9 WASHINGTON - Last week, astronomers announced a possible breakthrough in the mystery of Uie missing 'dark matter' in the universe. For two decades, scientists have Uieorized that Uie known stars and oUier reladvely bright objects account for only about 10 percent of Uie mass in die universe. Tlie odier 90 percent presumably takes some form Uiat is so dark or in other ways exotic Uiat human instruments have been unable to detect it. They sense its existence indirectly, in the motions of stars and gases, which seem to be driven by immense gravitational forces that cannot be explained by the visible material. Now, astronomers using a powerful detector calibrated with extreme accuracy (a teclmology until recently limited to national security purposes) have recorded a faint halo of light around a pin- wheel-shaped galaxy 35 million lightyears away in the constellation Draco. They say Uiis halo forms the predicted signature shape of the dark matter diat is believed to exist around such a galaxy. That is, die halo extends above and below die flat disk of the pin- wheel where its star population is concentrated.

RELIGIOUS ART ON DISPLAY Artistic License goes to UBC LANGLEY - Fourteen artists from Artistic License, the writers and artists group based at Langley Vineyard Centre, will be exhibiting at LJBC as of September 20. "This is the most prestigious show we've had to date", says Roy Hales, who organizes Artistic License's exhibitions. "The Lookout Gallery is known in Christian circles across North America. I'm also hoping this show will|bring us into contact with some artists in Vancouver." The theme of their show School auction has it ail under AgRec roof MATSQUI - Abbotsford Christian School is hosting its 13th annual auction on Saturday, October 8, at die Ag Rec Barns (Matsqui Fairgrounds). Pancake breakfast starts at 7:30 a.m. Garage sale plus produce and craft tables Open at 8 a.m. The general auction begins at 9:30 a.m. and the livestock auction takes place at noon. Lunch is served at 11:30 a.m. and coffee and desserts are available all day. "Expressions of His Spirit" lies more within the hearts of die artists themselves, than in any common medium or subject matter. Chris Kielesinski has made his own version of a "phylactery" - an ancient Jewish style of prayer book which folds like an accordion. The camera of Donna II Nikki captured the elusive image of light filtering through the stained glass door of a Ukrainian church. Judy Vmderveen's "Ten Seconds" depicts the challenge of a rodeo bronc buster. Also exhibiting are: Camien Tome's fanciful quilted fabric paintings; the nature pho-' tographs of Stephanie Charles and Jake Wiens; drawings by Dave Clark and Michele Isaak; watercolors by Marguerite Bouchard, Jennie Shilton and Christie Bowler; Terry Vin Roon's depiction of a dream in which God painted through the minds of men; Hales' abstract expressionist pieces; an interpretation of Clirist's crown of thorns the woman who would rather be known as "Willow". "We are putting forth a lot of different messages, but in each case the artist has proceeded from that point where their faith meets Uieir talent," says Hales. "You could call this show a celebration of the different ways in which God speaks to His children." The reception for "Expressions of His Spirit" is in the Lookout Gallery, Regent College, UBC, Tuesday, September 20, 6 to 8 p.m. The show will continue until Novemljer 2.

That Madonna appears on the cover of Esquire in a vinyl bikini is no more shocking than what goes down the boardwalk at Atlantic City or the beaches of Rehoboth. The scantily clad, whether in spandex or infantile eyelet, appear to be almost indifferent to public scrutiny, even proud that they have what it takes to wear a tube top. On Nantucket this summer, I saw a plump yoiing woman pedalling happily down the bike path, her black bathing suit a reprise of the bullet bras and latex-paneled briefs that were once the purview of Frederick's. With her mouth painted a brilliant shade of red, she seemed to belong in a Fellini movie. Small wonder that many women - thoughtful, practical and generally over the age of 40 - feel left out of the fashion game. Despite hours at the gym, despite closets full of smart clothes, they are suddenly apt to feel old and defensive whenever they see a young woman going briskly about her business in a thigh-grazing dress and pair of platforms. It is not that they wish to be younger, thinner and more attractive, although maybe they do. It is that the rules have changed so dramatically in the past few years that they don't know how to react to this casual flaunting of assets. Any number of women would argue lhat bare legs and arms are not appropriate for the office, and that a rum - bled rayon dress - the kind that many girls are wearing this summer over bodysuits or pretty bras - invites sexual harassment or, at the very least, questions of judgment. And yet, what few people over 40 seem to grasp is that a generation of women has grown up without fear that its behavior will be judged by its clothes. Modesty, self-respect and decency are not vales these women associate with hemlines and cleavage. Girls who go out to clubs in slip dresses and bra tops aren't making a leap from extreme fashion to certain disgrace. Maybe they're being naive. Or maybe 20 years of dressing for success has finally produced a generation that doesn't see a connection between who they are and what they Wear. Consider what women are wearing this summer.. After years of being scomed as either too matron- ly or too feminine, the dress has emerged with renewed authority. But unlike the sleeveless linen shifts and ankle-length shirtwaists that have been the staple of Washington summers, the new dresses are short and fluttery, and generally look better without stockings. When the slip dress, followed by its more innocent cousin, the baby doll, first appeared on the European ninways last fall, the fashion press sternly predicted that women would never wear so demeaning a garment, not one so childish that its designer thought to wheel a model out in a pram. As it turned out, not only did women buy the dresses and their knockoffs, but they found ways to modify them. The slip goes easily over T-shirts and under jackets; the baby doll looks less virginal when worn with combat boots. If soft little dresses offer women freedom from such underpinnings, they also produce surprising amounts of discomfort in people who still associate flimsiness with loose morals. It is with some irony lhat tlie British designer John Galliano has based his recent collections, particularly his bias-cut dresses on the '20s; few eras in the history of modem fashion have in - spired more contempt for the way women dressed, while, at the same time, granting them more political freedom. In England, as in America, the right to vote coincided with bobbed hair, flapper dresses and the advent of nude stockings, which, according to British historian Beverley Nichols, caused "a number of elderly ladies to feel that the country had taken another step toward the Pit." For designers like Galliano, tlie idle beauties found in the novels of Evelyn Waugh and Nancy Mitford are incomparable creatures, their virtue pretty much overshadowed by nostalgia. But what about the lower-class figures who seem to have inspired the fall collections of the British company Ghost and New York designer Anna Sui - with their floozy chiffon wrappers and stiletto heels? In this century, the battles that women have waged for political and sexual equality have almost always been accompanied by major changes in fashion. One thinks of Coco Chanel creating, in 1916, the first examples of the jersey chemise, which effectively established that women had bodies.

Freedom was still the operative word when Mary Quant came out with the mini and Yves Saint ' Laurent the see-through blouse, though now the backdrop was the social movements of the '60s. When women adopted the broad- shouldered styles of menswear, in the early '80s, it clearly marked their passage from homemakers to breadwinners. Now comes a generation of women that doesn't have the same hangups about social acceptance and is blithely indifferent to public opinion. This is what is most striking about the girls in .fragile summer dresses: their innocence in tlie face of mounting political correctness. Such wilfulness may not be completely understood, and it certainly isn't defiant. But it is to be admired in a socfety where high- mindedness is- often little more than a middle-aged refuge for nar- rowmindedness, and where the reasons for baring one's body have become, in something short of a decade, stunningly apolitical. Horsewomen find silver lining VANCOUVER - Dressed in sparkling silver and royal purple outfits, the Silverados equestrian drill team of Olympia, Wash., put on a pair of excellent drills to win the second annual Pacific National Exhibition international equestrian drill team championship, Aug. 24. The Silverados award-winning routine featured an excellent double thread movement and was punctuated by tlie most unusual ancl spectacular exit of any of the participating teams. At a total of 307.5/400 points in the event, the Silverados enjoyed a narrow two-point edge over the second-place Bitterroot Mountettes drill team of Corvallis, Mont., also dressed in silver and black outfits. The judges cited Bitterroot for the excellent use of flags in their routine. Placing third was the defending champion Western Express of Yakima, Wash. Even though they finished second last in the competition, the Langley Riders drill team, the only Canadian entry in tlie competition, considered both the event and dieir finish a triumph. "We have had drill teams for 25 years," says Langley Riders Society president and drill team coach Mack Magrath, "but until we entered the PNE competition last year we didn't have any idea about, what we should be doing. All of a sudden our eyes were opened up as to the calibre of the competition ancl we learned so much." Magrath noted his team finished dead last in 1993 ("the American^ were so far ahead of us"), so avoiding last place this year was a real feat. "Our peers complimented us - on our improvement from last year and that meant more to us than anydiing," he said, adding "the audience was also behind us as the 'home team'." PNE assistant agriculture manager Lori Gress agreed, saying "the Langley Riders improved 100 percent from their performance a year ago." Magrath said this year's competition "gives us great encouragement and a lot of ideas" for next year. He complimented die PNE for their "great job" in putting on the championship. "We are definitely coming back and are encouraging other Canadian teams to enter. It's a great event and a great way to learn." . 3& WH EN IT CAME DOWN TOTHE CRUNCH WE SWEETENED THE DEAL 9 pieces of ExtraTasty Crispy (or Original Recipe).

Positive action began when they saw what effect the government's drastic cost-cutting measures had on people who needed it most. Actual bed closures in British Columbia's 122 hospitals and cuts in healdi services everywhere helped create conclusive action to try help save dieir once luxurious healdi care industry diat was free for die taking die day it was born to every British Columbian. Once the group scrutinized the government's present spending; a lucrative $6.2-billion on health care services, equal to one-diird of provincial expenditures, and saw how health care operating services increased 20% per capita (after inflation) in the past 2 1/2 years; diey rolled up dieir sleeves to recharge a huge cost saving plan of dieir own. It was here Pam White, director of ProCare Institute Inc., and her crew began broadening their teaching base to the healdi care profession. "I cared for my elderly mom ancl my aunt When I could no longer cope, and they had to be admitted to facility care, I was struck by the desperate need for well-trained and subsequently well-respected nursing aides. That's what gave me the idea of ProCare," said White. Aldiough ProCare was formed in 1987 to meet the demand for quality training within die long term care industry, Pam soon expanded her idea into a wide variety of services. Programs offered as of today are: Long Term Care Aide Upgrading, Home Support Worker and Upgrading,. Techniques and Skills for Dementia Care, Creating Lifestyles in Dementia Care, and the Orientation Program for Community Residential Service Providers. All ProCare full time and upgrading programs incorporate die dementia training developed by Ellen J. Fraser, R.N. The pro gram entitled "Techniques and Skills for Dementia Care" is also conducted as an onservice program in care facilities. Instructor Louise Peters, R.N., O.H.N., B.H.Sc, from Mission, became interested in the LTCA up grading curriculum when she learned of the B.C. government's implementation of die New Directions. Peters said B.C.'s restructured healdi care Vision presents tremendous challenge to a caring health care profession.' She expressed her strong belief in the new Closer to Home government policy. "With a rapidly changing healdi care system, a government dial's trying to do more widi less and a fast growing seniors population diere will be more and more individuals needing specialized care," said Peters. "It is absolutely imperative diat we have well trained ahd competent caregivers to fill an evergrowing need." The ProCare Institute offers two types of training programs which are a direct benefit to health care cost: a five mondi, full time Healdi Care Aide course for students widi no health care experience, and an LTCA upgrade program for persons who have worked in the field without formal training. Threading throughout course materials are the main aspects of holistic care, empathy and proper nursing technique in long term specialized nursing care and procedures. Instructor Peters states the courses provide students with good grounding in anatomy and physiology of illnesses, and provides them with theory and skills level to be acknowledgeable and compassionate health care givers. "Given the nature of today's changing healthcare system in B.C., our knowledge of tlie industry enables us to change and modify programs to quickly meet the needs of employers," said White. The $3,500 LTCA course that last 20 weeks, and the $1,780 LTCA 242-hour upgrading course, consisting of 162 hours of intensive classroom studies and a two week clinical in an extended care facility, are government funded where applicable. Financing at least part of the programs to government becomes a two-fold cost saving venture. It will take people off the unemployment and welfare roll, and become a huge cost saving in the professional health care strategy. The registered LTCA starting salary-is $15 an hour, almost ten dcillars less than Registered nurses. ProCare instructors feel licenced LTC Aides are equal to die task in many areas of healdi care serviced And the government is willing to mend their ways in attempt to save dieir healdi care industry. "Our emphasis in on care," said Peters, "Care for the resident, the caregiver, care industry and the health care profession." VANCOUVER - The dominant miniature horse at the 1992 Pacific National Exhibition horse competition reasserted his presence among a huge field of miniature horses at the 1994 PNE Horse Competition, Aug. 20-22. Eagle Mini Wheats, a stylish miniature pinto owned and shown by Mary Brouwer of Aldergrove, earned a total of 12 first and second place ribbons in die three-day competition. This was double the number of top ribbons earned by his nearest competitor, M.H.R.S. Silvercryst, owned by Ken Danielson of Chehalis, Wash., and driven by Corinne Morris. Included among Eagle Mini Wheats' victories was a new class introduced this year: die miniature liberty class. In diis event, horses are turned loose in the centre of the Agrodome and romp around the ring to music directed only by voice commands from the owner. Following a three minute performance, the owner has another two minutes to catch and halter the horse. "The liberty class was very popular this year," says PNE assistant agriculture manager Lori Gress, "die spectators love to watch a horse run free and marvel at how responsive they are to dieir owners." What die miniatures lack in stature, diey more dian make up for in numbers. Miniature horses have become die largest individual component of the PNE horse competition, delighting both competitors and spectators, who continually thronged to the Agrodome to watch die miniature performance classes. The large entry field meant over a dozen exhibitors left die ring with first or second-place ribbons. Interspersed among the miniature horse classes were a variety of Morgan, Saddlebred and Welsh Pony classes. Leading die Morgan ribbon parade was Jennie Meyer of Issaquah, Wa., with Amigo Bingson, while the top welsh pony was Huber's Spirit in die Sky, shown by Roseanne Jacobse of Mission. In an even display of horsemanship, than ribbon. no saddlebred won more one first or second-place The PNE horse show continues to Sept. 5 with a full complement of thoroughbreds, palominos, quarterhorses, pintos, jumpers and heavy horses.

Freeway crash investigated m MATSQUI - Police are investigating a single vehicle accident which occurred just before 5 a.m. on August 26, at the eastbound exit of die freeway at Mt. Leliman Road. The male driver, who was the only occupant of the car, suffered only minor injuries when the 1986 Camaro rolled over after leaving die freeway. Singles had a ball, never mind the rain By MARTHA SIEMENS ALDERGROVE - What a ball! Even tho' the Aldergrove. Singles were rained out for Uieir sdieduled appearance at Campbell Valley Park for dieir pot luck and corn roast we still had a ball. A "home run" was made to Granny's Restaurant where the buffet bar was loaded with goodies to even tempt King Solomon - everything from watermelon to Thelma's fantastic concoction of her dessert. Roger - where and in what "high court" do you pick up those tasty morsels of meats? We had to send out a "search and rescue" squad for Parnell and his crew. We figured his 1939 truck broke down, but later we learned the group got lost in the Campbell Valley trails. We forgot Parnell is an expert on restoring and maintaining the mechanical end of antiques (must get him to check out my antique Chrysler). Was that good corn or wasn't it? How many bagfulls did we go thru? Don, Thelma, Helen and Akiko are. now experts on corn husking. The only sad part of the corn roast was that two of the cooks got scalded. Folks, never ever try to take off a lid if there is still steam under pressure - you can get seriously hurt. A quick application of vinegar to die burns kept the victims from blistering. Vinegar and ice cools the burns - if butter or fats are used the heat stays in and penetrates deeper. In Hawaii we learned that vinegar applied to sunburns keeps blisters from forming (coke, believe it or not also works on burns). Thank goodness the accident happened on the last potfi.il. The two cooks are well and surviving. All in all even tho' the quarters were crowded no one really seemed to miss the great outdoors. Thanks to Ann who had the foresight to bring her coffee maker we were well supplied with coffee. Welcome to the new members - Dale, Gina, Rita, Dorothea, George, Rick, Darlene, Rose, Tim and Nancy, and Akiko who is here on a visit from Japan. We hope she likes Canada so well that she'll return. The Singles are planning some exciting functions which will be discussed at the Sept. 8 meeting, social and free lunch at 27125 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove. The club is planning a dance, craft fair, garage sales ancl whatever members suggest. Friday nite is Singles Dinners at Granny's Restaurant - another way to meet other singles but we stress it's not a dating club, but we meet for friendship and outings. A teacup reading party is to be held at Helen's, Sept. 3, Saturday. For more info. call. 856- 0622 or 857-8804.
