TIP OF THE ICEBERG? ( Pacifica' growth pins Tisl'tiii""'''^^*!^ ■Ts p; MURRAYVILLE - Ts proposed development in the southwest corner of Langley just "the tip of the iceberg?" a delegate to Langley township council asked Monday night. Is there a relationship between the proposed Chartwell golf course and a massive housing development on the outskirts of the city of Blaine and just a stone's throw on the other side of the US-Canada border? Questions were raised by ' Brian Westwood, a local resident who is vehemently opposed to the golf course-housing development. He indicated to local councilors that both the Langley development consisting of the golf links and 160 homes and the Whatcom county expansion of Blaine in order to facilitate the building of between 1,000 and 1,200 new homes might be owned by the same developer, a Canadian. "It could change local conditions forever," Westwood said. Coun. Aubrey Searle, also in opposition to the Chartwell development, thought the idea should be investigated. However, Coun. John Scholtens reminded his colleague that it was not really any of council's concerns who owned what, and cautioned against embarking upon a "witchhunt". Coun. Steve Ferguson criticized colleagues Searle and Muriel Arnason for their attempt, once more, to delay a public hearing into the Chartwell proposal. "The two councilors have consistently sides wiped (proceedings)," he said. Searle's motion to delay the public hearing until the ownership question had been determined was summarily defeated. "We have been dragging our feet, and I am anxious to hear the public," Scholtens added. He also managed to upset Westwood by referring to his group of the South Langley Ratepayers as "a special interest group." "We are not!" emphasized "Westwood. The delegate praised councilors for their "fine idea" of hav-ijrjg a recently; completed impact study assessed by yet another group of engineers at taxpayers' expense and suggested to the assembled members that he knew of three consultants "of sterling character and good integrity" that would be available to do this latest study. Westwood finally asked that the December 10 deadline set for the public hearing be extended and councilors agreed to this although Beales warned that it would have to be before the end of 1992. Councilors will also write the Blaine city council asking that they extend their own environmental assessment of the impact of the eastern annexation lands to include the Langley side of the border. Scholtens said it was good that Langley could "work together closely with our neighbors to the south*"* The Abbotsford Concert Band gave their annual performance during the Remembrance Day dedication at the Aldergrove Legion. -Tim Attwood photo Lifeforce battles local if zoo expansion plans ALDERGROVE - Animal rights organization, Lifeforce says they are pleased with the Agricultural Land Commission's Sept 23 decision to refuse the Vancouver Game Farm permission to redevelop the tourist attraction. However, the refusal was for an earlier application which has since been modified and resubmitted for the ALC's consideration. A decision on this application has not yet been announced. The commission's letter was released Nov. 12 by Lifeforce director Peter Hamilton, who has opposed the redevelopment earlier this year when it came to municipal council for consideration. Councilors balked at some of the plans for the facility, but eventually endorsed the application after it was modified to their satisfaction. "Lifeforce is pleased with the ALC decision because time and money should be spent on protecting ecosystems for all life, not on an amusement park with zoo prisons," said Hamilton in the release. Game farm owners, K-Bros. Development Corporation, have proposed changing the animal pens into larger, natural theme areas. This is in keeping 'with the modern trend of zoological parks and manager, Don Adams says this will mean a great improvement of the quality of life for the animals. >■» .However, as admission fees are not sufficient to pay for the animals' upkeep and zoo redevelopment, a number of entertainments are proposed to subsidize the animal area. These include restaurant, mint-golf oourse, vid«2o arcades, mechanical amusement rides and larger parking lot. A miniature train has already been installed to take visitors around the site, eliminating vehicular traffic inside the zoo, although visitors still may choose to walk^around the grounds. In the commission's letter, signed by general manager K.B. Miller, the ALC "is concerned with those uses not strictly related to the game farm operation... These proposed changes effectively change the existing low intensity game farm into a multi-purpose tourist destination. In the commission's view, such a facility is not an appropriate use within the ALR." However, the lettM says the commission will consider a "small restaurant, minor enhancement of the children's play area (no mechanized amusement rides), limited overnight RV park, and a mechanized people mover." The commission also asked to see comparisons between the narrow guage rail system and "less capital intensive rubber tire systems." The commission said, "In general (we) would consider more favorably a proposal that reduces the impact of capital improvements on the land. Hockey youth dies of natural causes ALDERGROVE - The sudden death of a 14 year old hocJcey player, Sunday night at the arena, has been attributed to natural causes. Jeffrey Dennis Karpluk, of Delta, collapsed to the ice while he was returning to the ben<±. after finishing the first period of an organized game. He was pronounced dead at about 8 p.m., Nov. 15, after all efforts to revive him failed. RCMP Sgt. Dennis Osse issued a statement, Monday, that "cause of death is unknown at this time" and was under investigation by police in conjunction with the coroner's office. An Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association official, who happened to witness the Bantam- level game, told The Star that the action on the ice had been a model of the game, "very dean," with no violence of any sort observed during the first period. The youths were skating to the bensches after the first period when Karpluk fell to the ice and suffered spasms. Someone administered emergency CPR while ambulance and fire officials were called for assistance. Karpluk was declared dead on arrival at hospital. Karpluk had suffered rheumatic fever in his early youth and this has been determined a contributing factor to a weak lining in his cardiovascular system, said the coroner's office. This lining burst, \causing his heart or major artervpo fail while he was skating to the bench. Karpluk, of 11871 - 95 Avenue, had attended Delview Secondary School. VOL.34 NO.46 THURSDAY.

LANGLEY - The number of students attending schools outside their neighborhood "continues to increase and now stands at 1,599," says the school district. This does not indude 584 students from other school districts. That is a 70 percent increase over 1990-'91's 241 cross-district registrations, and 517 of th«2m are from the Surrey school district. The number of cross- boundary registrations has also increased but not as sharply. The number of Langley cross- boundary elementary students has increased 10.78 percent to 812, while the secondary numbers increased 30.51 percent to 787. The number of Langley students transferring out of Langley stands at 37, which is ten more than the year before. Of these 27 chose Surrey and nine chose Abbotsford.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 Board accepts Victoria's demand: 187 school days LANGLEY - The school board has approved a school calendar that will meet the ministry of education's demand for 187 days instruction. The board's review of instructional hours throughout the district indicated that the required hours are being met, although some minor adjustments in bell schedules at a few schools will be made for consistency in times. There have been concerns that the ministry's' Regulation 8 conflicts with negotiated teacher contracts in the province's 75 school districts. Th«Me are a number of different situations and "clarification on this issue may not occur until spring of 1993," said the recommendation from the board's staff. The ministry itself is reviewing the regulation and, "In the meantime the matter is on the bargaining table in Langley in anticipation of a successful resolution between the parties." The board has expressed worry over what die cost will be for the district to meet the regulation, and have estimated it cost millions of dollars for the district which is already burdened with an operating deficit. The board also responded to Langley Teachers' Association proposals for thek new contract, which the board says would cost an extra $50-million. Thek current operating budget is about $93-million, and the board says its estimate of the increased cost is "very conservative." Parents fighting Year 2000 POUCE COUPE - A local couple has started a petition in school district 59, aimed at having the Year 2000 education strategy scrapped. Don and Shirley Coulter say they are fighting the program because they fear it will inhibit, rather than enhance, their son's education. The petition states: "We, the undersigned are not in favor of the concept of the 'Year 2000'. We do not believe in an ungraded school system and feel that the basics (including reading, writing, arithmetic and spelling) should be taught in a controlled -atmosphere. A.s well, if the present public school system does not reflect our concerns, we feel that our tax dollars should be applied to the school of our choice (not necessarily the public school system)." The Coulters charge that their son, who attends Pouce Coupe elementary school, is not getting a sound education. They say the cooperative work concept outlined in the Year 2000 document means students will be teaching thek fellow students while the teachers, who are paid to teach, will not be doing thek job. £ _ The teachers' proposals call for salary increases, smaller classes, additional classrooms and a 20- hour instruction week rather than the current 25 hours. The LTA also asked that non-instructional days be increased from seven days to 13 days, which will conflict with the ministry's Regulation 8. There are also requests for five days of leave with pay for each teacher per year and all vacancies to be filled on seniority rather than suitability as judged by principals and teachers at each school. The LTA has asked that a committee of union teachers and district representatives be given "control of all funds in the district which are available for the implementation of educational and/or curriculum change." The board says that this demand flies in the face of the School Act, which makes the board ultimately responsible for education programs. These demands, and others, are currently under negotiation. Earlier this school year the board approved a deficit budget, which was to be repaid over two years, provided that expenses did not increase. The district's requests for an increase in thek operating budget funds have been denied by the ministry. Training people off welfare VANCOUVER - The B.C. government will be investing more than $17-million in new money to provide more job opportunities and training for about 25,000 British Columbians on income assistance. Social Services Minister Joan Smallwood says the new money - which brings the ministry's total job creation and training package for income assistance recipients to $56.5-million this year - is being invested now to help more British Columbians gain greater independence during the current tough economic times. Smallwood says the investment is needed now to help stem the increases in B.C.'s social assistance caseload - which has gone up 15 percent in the last year alone. Cam Ross lays a wreath at the cenotaph, which concluded the Remembrance Day ceremonies Strikers close Concord 'Send more buses' LANGLEY - The Youth Resource Centre, formerly known as House of Concord, was closed by strike action Friday. Operators, the Salvation Army, say they are caught in the centre of a conflict between the provincial government and the B.C. Government Employees Union. The Salvation Army is running the facility under contract, which expires March 31, and they say that the government is not providing the funding needed to meet wage demands from the union. The centre is not a custodial facility, but offers the current 38 residents programs while serving thek sentences on probation. All are males, aged 13 to 17 years, and most have been returned to parents or foster homes by probation officers for the duration of the strike. Those being returned include 29 convicted of a variety of offences, and nine undergoing a substance abuse treatment program. However, a program for nine juvenile sex offenders will be continued by administrators, and these nine youths will remain in residence. The union has been without a contract since Sept. 30, and are deadlocked over wages.

There are 60 workers involved and most wages are in the $11 to $14 per hour range. In a release, the Army says k is willing to accept the union's demands but are unable ■ to because the funds aren't there. "The centre cannot sign the agreement because the ministry refuses to provide, under its contract wkh the Salvation Army, sufficient funding to meet the pay increases both management and union agree are fair and reasonable," said the statement. The attorney-general's office says they are not involved in the talks, and point to thek contract with the Army as valid until March 31. MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here will ask BC Transit to send more buses to the Blair pool in Murrayville, especially during evening hours. Commission is already having financial problems, some councilors pointed out. Maybe so, said Coun. John Scholtens, the mover of the proposal. But Langley so far never got much in form of transit service from the commission. When it fkst came into Langley, he pointed out, it cost local taxpayers $3-million, in return for which Langley received $1- million worth of bus service. More evening runs to the public pool are needed in order to increase attendance, councilors say.

Crime fighters now on the ball ALDERGROVE - A record- breaking crowd attended the enthusiastic information meeting held last week in the Kinsmen Community Centre, to help reduce crime in this area. Constable Terry Kopan, assisted by Gerry Wise, held the appreciative audience spell-bound, with the latest methods and devices available for protecting homes and marking valuables for easy . identification. At the conclusion of the meeting, twenty- five more block captains or associates were signed up for this area, to bring the number of organized blocks up to 220, involving 2100 homes. ' "There will be more than 6,000 pairs of watciiful eyes following prospective lawbreakers throughout this municipality,'', said organizer Mun Hope. "We want to help make this one of the safest places in which to live." He drew attention to a recommendation to promote crime prevention programs already in existence, published after an integration workshop held in the Conference Center. The draft interim report was released after twenty focus groups successfully completed their examination of the issues. "One hundred and fifty-four individuals, representing a range of special interests, were interviewed and asked to share their perceptions,'' said the report. During the meeting at the community centre, Constable Kopan also introduced three members of the Langley Crime Prevention Society; and expressed his appreciation for the volunteers who are trained by RCMP, working in pairs in radio- equipped vehides. "It is not a vigilante group," he said. "In patrolling the streets, they are simply to observe and report." He also publicly thanked Mun Hope for his involvement in other crime prevention activities. 'Draconian' government cited by Scholtens MURRAYVILLE - Refusal to allow former B.C. premier Bill VanderZalm the right to develop his land in Langley was referred to by a private consultant here Monday night as "expropriation without (financial) consideration." Ken Stinson was appearing before township councilors here representing his client, Vander-r Zalm. The provincial government has told Langley to reject a rezoning application because the property located at 216 Street and the No.l Highway might be needed some time in the future for a new freeway cloverleaf. Councilors said they had to go along with Victoria's request even though they all sympathized with the land owner. They would, however, send a letter to the provincial highways department raising the question: are you, or are you not going to need the land? Coun. John Scholtens compared the case to another development that was denied in north Langley because the province said it might someday be needed for an access to a proposed new Fraser River bridge. He called the province's action "draconian^and said government could not "hold on in perpetuity (to privately owned land) for what some government may or may not do in the future." All councilors agreed. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 19. 1992 There's still so much to do OTTAWA - "Still much to do!" - that is the theme for the War Amps mailing of address labels to homes across British Columbia this fall. The handy, personalized labels are a thanks from the War Amps to its supporters, and will be sent out in this area over the next few weeks. The War Amps is known for its many services for amputees, particularly the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, which teaches young amputees to cope with amputation, and provides them with financial assistance for artificial limbs, travel expenses to and from rehabilitation centres. and regional seminars. It also provides counselling programs such as Matching Mothers, and safety education like Playsafe and Safety Walk, which encourage children to be aware of possible hazards in everyday surroundings. Enclosed with their address labels, the public will find a pamphlet describing these programs and the many other ways The War Amps provides assistance, such as in the fight for veterans issues - particularly for the severely disabled, war widows and PoWs - as well as to civilian amputees. Amputees both young and old benefit from the association's work, but, there is still much to do. The association's newest program, Jumpstart, provides computer training and educational computer programs for young multiple amputees to keep up with schoolwork now and later compete in the workforce. Jumpstart equalizes career opportunities for multiple amputee children and demonstrates that it only takes comptuer Patrick Moffat and knowledge and the ability to press one key at a time to open the door to the future. The War Amps is also passing on a legacy through its "Never Again!" program, which teaches the younger generation about the horrors of war. With their address labels, the public will find a list of Never Again! films available on loan, such as the newest release, "The Blue Puttees", about the remarkable story of the Newfoundland Regiment in World War 1. The Never Again! message is passed along as well by older champs, like Mark Cameron, 17, of Langley, through what the War Amps calls "Operation Legacy". Because of their close association over the years with war amputees, these Champs have a special understanding of the terrible costs of war. When there Kyle Shaw of B.C. are no longer any war amputees left, they will carry the War Amps valuable legacy into the future. One CHAMP graduate, now in university, recently wrote to the War Amps to describe what being part of CHAMP has meant to him: "From financial assistance to emotional support, the War Amps has given us hope, confidence and the required strength to reach our desired goals. No longer do I see myself as a person with a disability, but rather a person with many challenges. I am conquering those challenges everyday, and our organization has been a key component to my success. I plan to continue this success at university this fall. I am on my way, and will be forever in your debt. Thank you with all my heart."

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Listen here, Glen Editor, The Star, Sir, The following is an open letter to B.C. finance minister Glen Clark, re: the province's first quarterly report: We have recently reviewed your first quarterly report on the financial picture of the province for the three months ended June 30, 1992. While you indicate in the report that the economic growth has slowed, we do note that revenue was up some 6.3% over the same period last year, which in these times is certainly a reasonable growth. However, what is concerning is that expenditures have increased 8.8% over the same period of time. As you well know, we cannot continue to increase our spending at a faster rate than revenues, and I am writing this letter to ask you on behalf of the Langley Chamber of Commerce to put the necessary systems in [dace and get government spending under control. While we all understand there will be some short-term pain in terms of expenditure cuts, it is surely better than leaving a legacy of debt that our children will not be able to repay. We also note in your comments that spending pressures include public sector wage settlements and, as you well know, employees in the private sector are being asked to accept very nominal wage increases due to lower profitability levels in many industries and surely government employees must be subject to similar restraints. DAVID ROWLAND, President Langley Chamber of Commerce t§ B-C-TAXPAYERS SHELL OUT $500,000.00 FOR 2M HR DAY CARE I I D^Do [dependants Did they really and truly get the message! Editor, The Star, Sir, The silent majority has spoken, they were given their democratic right, but after watching TV, I really don't think the politicians or the bureaucrats, along with the press, got the message. We don't set up road blocks or picket imaginary burial grounds and maybe that is why they thought we would be satisfied to be second-class citizens. I did hear threats from bad losers, but it will be up to the authorities to see that we have peace and good govt^rnment. After all it was the politicians who were dividing Canada into three dasses of people. When I read statements by politicians and I quote, 1 am sure that every Canadian deplores the way the Native people have been treats", this makes me sick. Thek disadvantages and social condition is of their own doing, they have refused to change with time. They have had all the right to live by the same law we all are Waste admitted OTTAWA - Now that the Charlottetown accord is dead and buried for the time being, the federal government is turning its attention to the massive federal deficit, and that means the likelihood of spending cuts. Canada's secretary of state, Robert deCotret, who spent time overlooking Canadian government spending waste, has written a soon-to-be released report on the methods in which government can cut spending, and named certain areas where government is clearly wasting money. One of those areas is the official languages program, that employs translators and, according to deCotret, is full of overlapping jurisdictions and programs. There are 3,847 full time people employed with official languages, and even more in crown corporations. living by, the same social programs and more. Let us stop treating them as babies. After 125 years and more it should not and must not make any difference who was here first or who came second. We will never expect unity as long as special favors to certain nationalities bring about injustices to others. I was born in Canada. I am a "native". I must have equal rights and status as any other true Canadian, no more, but also no less. Until the Indian, French, German, Chinese, Dutch and all the rest of us are all willing to accept equal status and be recognized as any other Canadian, there is no hope of ever drafting a constitution that will make Canada a nation. The constitution was a political process from the start. I tried to keep abreast by asking questions, could not get one straight answer; pounds of paper but nothing definite. When a gov- . eminent committee met at New- lands Golf and Racquet Club the meeting was not publicized till after it was held. There was no effort to involve the general public, most of those interviewed were involved in politics and who in some way thought they would stand to gain in the process. To draft a constitution for Canada first we must find a deserted island, round up all of the politicians and bureaucrats and ship them out. It's too bad we cannot hand them the bill. TED HANSEN Aldergrove Halcyon days reduced Sex change in snails Editor, The Star, Sir, There was an article in the Vancouver Sun by Margaret Munro, the Sun science reporter which states, "that female snails in B.C. coastal waters have been turning into males and growing penises. The environmental authority suspect tribulyltin (T.B.T.), a potent compound once used in boat paint and at salmon farms." Since 1989 the use of paint with T.B.T. in it has been curtailed but ferries and military vessels still use it. If the toxic chemical coming from the tin used in some boat paints is suspected of causing a sex change in sea snails, what does it do to other shell fish that we eat and how about we humans who eat shellfish? It's food for thought, and why does the female snail turn into a male and not the other way about? Low levels of trycylohexyltin, a toxic compound, have been showing up in shellfish in the southern B.C. coastal waters. It is suspected from coming via the Fraser River from some Fraser Valley farms, which formerly used it to destroy mites on strawberry plants, under the trade name of plictran. The sea snails may die out because the ovaries either turn into testicles, or the penis gets in the way of expelling her eggs. It is not supposed to be possible for humans to grow new pars- like a crab that has lost a leg or a pincer, but if a man ingests a female hormone, say like stillbestrol, once used to fatten cows before slaughter, breasts in a man will develop. While on the subject of pollution and possible human change I read that even a substance from the nicotine from tobacco smoke gets into the human female ovum or egg and causes a thirty percent drop in possible fertility. If we humans keep on ingesting pollutants in one form or another, maybe in the near future there wont be any spare babies for homosexual and lesbian partners to adopt, let alone anyone else! I'm rather fond of shellfish and strawberries and I keep right on eating them; but every time I take a shower I take a surreptitious peek to make sure I'm not sprouting any little appendages! MARY PAN WEST-MOORE Aldergrove Editor, The Star, Sir, At the Langley School Board meeting of November 2, the superintendent presented the board with a number of options regarding Regulation 8 in the School Act. Regulation 8 covers the number of days in the school year and the number of minutes of instruction to be provided in the year. Traditionally, the school year has varied in length from 187 to 194 days, depending on the calendar. The ministry has stipulated that the school year will henceforth be 190 days in length, but has for the 1992-93 school year allowed a transitional year of 187 school days. Over a 28 year cycle, however, the average length of the school year has been over 192 days. Cleariy, the traditional method of setting the school year has led to more, not fewer days of instruction for children. One of the options presented to the board was that the teachers would work additional time each day. Provided that this extra work is voluntary and the teachers are compensated for this time, this option will work. Otherwise, we would be breaking the collective agreement which defines the number of hours of instruction teachers work and the compensations for that work. Another option was to assume that Regulation 8 is a change to legislation and should be dealt with between the board and the union under the legislative change article in the collective agreement. In effect, negotiate this issue separately. There are some school districts proceeding to arbitration with this position and it would seem sensible to wait and see the outcome of these arbitrations. The board was also asked to consider taking unilateral action and adopt a work year which would increase the time beyond that in the collective agreement As this 'would be violating the agreement the parties made, this option is not acceptable. The last option presented was an appeal to the minister of education for a clarification of the regulation. We support this and have met with the minister to similarly express our concerns. We hope the board will continue to explore other options to settle this matter without violating the collective agreement we have.

Ambitious fund-raising starts LANGLEY - The Memorial Hospital Foundation launched its first annual program to raise $500,000 at a special breakfast meeting at the Langley Conference Centre, Nov. 13. Hospital and medical staff, donors, board trustees, community agencies, auxiliary members, business people and community leaders attended the meeting where the foundation's new logo was unveiled. "The foundation recently completed a strategic plan for the next five years. The plan calls for the foundation to increase its fund-raising activities to help the hospital purchase priority capital equipment because of the growing gap between available government funding and equipment needs," said Lynn Roberts, chairman of the foundation. Hospital president Pat Zanon explained that donations make a tremendous difference to the quality of patient care the hospital can provide for the residents of Langley. "We have a long list of capital equipment needs, all items under $100,000. Last year that list totalled over $900,000 and approximately one-third of it was covered by government funding. The remaining two-thirds of the funding comes from donations and hospital revenues from parking and private room charges," said Zanon. Mayor John Beales echoed her remarks, adding that as a member of the greater Vancouver Region Hospital District, he can attest to the fact that, "the gap between available government funding and capital equipment needs is widening." Hospitals, he said, will have to rely more and more on community support to pay for capital equipment. The foundation's calendar of fund raising events includes: the "Festival of Trees" at Newlands Golf and Country dub; the second annual Christmas mail appeal, a business campaign to be launched in the early spring, its first "Starlight Gala" on Valssntines Day weekend and the 1993 Tinman Triathlon on May 29.

"Clearly, if Bush had won, Prime Minister Mulroney would have used it to justify his belief that he can come back too," says Toronto historian Michael Bliss. "Bush's defeat may help him read the writing on the wall. On the other hand, politicians have an infinite capacity for self- delusion and I can see Mulroney rationalizing that Jean Chretien is no Bill Clinton."

On Thursday, November 19 at approximately 1:15 p.m., the public is invited to join Premier Mike Harcourt and members of his cabinet, local dignitaries and the Canadian Parks Service staff in witnessing the re-enactment of the signing of the proclamation declaring Sir James Douglas to be the first Governor-General of the mainland colony of British Columbia. On a rainy day in November, 1858, the steamer 'Beaver* paddled its way up the Fraser River to Fort Langley. Aboard were James Douglas, then Governor of Vancouver Island, the Chief Justice.., for Vancouver Island, Mr. Cameron, and the future Chief Justice for British Columbia, Mr. Matthew Begbie. They were travelling to Fort Langley to formally end the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company on the mainland and to introduce this new era of government. Since the 1920s, Douglas Day has been a big event in Fort Langley and since the early 1940s, Langley has honoured its own pioneers at a banquet now held at the Langley Civic Centre on the evening of November 19. In honour of the National Historic Sites System's 75th anniversary, the Fort Langley National Historic Site is free to j the public on November 19.

For the next 25 minutes West Van simply were going through the motions. The Devils proceeded to pump in 4 more goals, three by Jennifer Jones. The Red Devils have played superbly on defence. They have not given up a goal in 3 games. Last week, Nov. 8 the Devils defeated Guilford Strikers 3-0 on goals by' Maria Reglis, Michelle Schween, and Mdissa Raddiffe.

Storm hits New West: It's Grove's peewees ALDERGROVE - The Allied Alumimun sponsored PeeWee 'A' team stormed in to thek regular season play with an excellent game in New Westminster.

A good drive to the front of the net resulted in a goal by Nicholas - Seguin assisted by Dean Arsene. Greg Maggio with his first of the year, assisted by Seguin and a great unassisted effort by Brent Adams translated into the three goal lead. New Westminster managed to get on the board before the first period was over. The New Westminster team stormed back with a goal early in Brothers, Big Sisters A not-for-profit organization that needs your help! We need volunteers over the age of 18 who want to spend a few hours a week the second period before Chris Fox blasted a slap shot past the goalie for a 4-2 lead. New Westminster fought back with two quick goals to tie the game. The remainder of the game was a seesaw battle ending with a tie. The improved play of the team was evident throughout the game against New Westminster. The strong play of goalie Ryan Leakie and the improved work of the defense including Arsene, Fox coupled with Robbie Maksymetz, Kevin Keith and Sandy Brown has made the scoring opportunities improve for the forwards. The forwards induding Seguin, Maggio and Adams along with David Haber, Tyler Vallin, Derek Ottoson, Tanner Rattray, Ryan Zuber, Mike Shipley have worked hard and the effort has paid dividends in their opportunities around the net. The team's next series of games is a home and away series with the Cloverdale Colts, a team they have yet to beat this year, but with the improved team effort they feel can be lassoed.

ABBOTSFORD - The UCFV basketball teams have been practising since September, preparing for their upcoming season. Conference play begins on November 28, when Trinity Western University hosts both men and women's teams. Game times for all league games are 6 p.m. for women and 8 p.m. for men. Though the UCFV Cascades continue to operate without their own gym, playing their home games at Clearbrook Community Centre, this season looks bright for both teams. Cascade women were second in the nation last year in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Conference. Although only 3 women have returned, forwards Carta Buchanan (Vernon), Shannon Matter (Abbotsford), and Miriam Valois (Coquitlam), great recruiting has resulted in gaining 3 players from the provincial under 19 team. Top recruits for this year are guard Tricia Grant (New Westminster), guard Danielle Moe (Langley, injured last year), forward Sue Parke (Campbell River), post Denise Rehman (Victoria), and guards Carol Vinson and Shandia Cordingley from Maple Ridge and Kelowna respectively. Other new additions are post Laurell Olson (Alberta), and guards Lisa Driediger (Abbotsford), and Colleen Sullivan (Langley). So far UCFV women have scrimmaged S.F.U., Western Washington University, Camosen College (Victoria), and Skagit Valley College (Wash.). Although no .threat to S.F.U., they dominated Camosen, and were (competitive with both W.W.U. and Skagit Valley. Meanwhile UCFV men have 9 returners, and feel confident that this year they have a legitimate shot for a provincial medal. This team is an all Fraser Valley team. This year Yale is contributing guard Mark Wapples, a 3rd year player, and forward, Dan MacLeod, rookie. Former Abbotsford Senior players are forward Bruce Hildebrand (2nd year) and guard Bill Buttar (freshman). Other local players are forward Kevin Bos and guard Chad Schmidt (both from MEI, 2nd year), guard Vtace Van Dyk (Abbotsford Christian, 3rd year), and guard Mark Neill (Mouat, 1st year). Agassiz has been very good to UCFV ovssr many years. This year is no exception with guard Jason Watson returning for a second year, and 7' post Kraig Tyfting, and 6'8" post Chris Spence up and coming rookies. Three other veterans, guard Troy Guze of Aldergrove, guard Kelsey Stewart of Langley, and post Ron Tamis of Surrey round out the experienced roster. The male Cascades have scrimmaged U.B.C., Camosen and Shoreline College (Seattle), and are in Portland this weekend (Nov. 13-15) to play Multnomah School of the Bible, and Centralia College.

The first game played at TWU saw the Spartans jump out to a 13-3 lead, but they ssncountered great difficulty with Northwest's defense and 3-point arsenal. The result was a 117-73 loss. Northwest dropped in 20 3-point shots with Brock Baker hitting eight of them to lead all players with 30 points. Coach Tim Teer found nothing that he liked in their game. As he said, This may be our worst played game in five or six years." Even worst news for the Spartans was that they had a return engagement with Northwest on Friday in Seattle. The Spartans were however determined to make a better showing. The game was Northwest's home opener and they faced a much tougher TWU group. Northwest took a 47-30 halftone lead, but the Spartans continued to fight with a much better defense limiting Northwest to seven 3-pointers in the game. Northwest still prevailed 90-68. Coach Teer left feeling much better about the game. As he stated, "We were much better tonight in all phases of our game.'' TWU was led by freshman Raymond Kwok with 20 points and Marty Penninga with 14 points. Trinity continues exhibition play this weekend with an 8 o'clock Friday game verses Camosen College and a 5:30 Saturday game against Multnomah College of Portland Oregon.

They managed to play with Douglas but were just too flat to get a win. Coach Pike commented, "We anticipated a tough game and just didn't have it in us tonight. Our attack was flat and the only reason we stayed with them was because of a good effort from the players.'' Dale Quark and Brent Penner filled in and both of them played a good game. Dennis Memmott, who came in off the bench, added a little spark to the Spartan's offense. TWU's current league record is now 3-2. The Spartan's next home game is against BCIT on Wed. Nov. 25.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 First game of new season held in Aldergrove arena ALDERGROVE - The Tween B Ringette team hosted their first season game Nov. 7 against Richmond. This game started slow for the local girls with the first period ending 1-1, goal by Kristine Hargrove. With 10 minutes left in the game the score was still the same, as the nervous coaches looked on. Aldergrove had beaten this team 4 weeks earlier in a 7-4 score, but this was just too close. Suddenly Kristine- would score again with a nice pass from Shannon Witt to gain the lead. Maria Mach would then add one of her own with a set-up from Erika Pearson. Shannon Witt added to the score with assist going to Alyssa Hogan. Kristine would then assist on a Erika Pearson goal. All this happened in 4 minutes to give Aldergrove a light to victory. In the last minute of play, Kristine would get her hat trick with Lindsay Carron assisting. With only 28 seconds left on the •dock these two would team up again, but with the roles reversed. Lindsay Carron would get the final goal at the 5 second mark to end the game 7-1 for Aldergrove. Aldergrove Tween B team was to play their 2nd season game against Howe Sound on Nov. 14 but it was cancelled. Aldergrove invited Coquitlam to come and play, who they'd played 2 weeks earlier in a 6-6 tie but they couldn't make it. As the title of last weeks write-up read "Next game a winner" well this came true. Aldergrove invited Surrey who they had lost to by a 7-4 score 3 weeks eariier. The game was a see-saW battle until Surrey got the first goal. Tara Swinden opened up the scoring for Aldergrove 2 minutes later with assists going to Maria Mach and Shannon Witt. In the last 2 minutes Shannon Witt stormed thru and put one past the Surrey goalie to put Aldergrove in the lead at the end of the Hewitt Bruins tie tiring closer ALDERGROVE - Hewitt & Co. Aldergrove Bruins scored the opening goal of the final tiering series in the first five minutes of the game. One up, Aldergrove, put in the net by Matthew Keith assisted by Martin Nicole. The second period opened with the score still 1-0 Aldergrove, but the Port Moody visitors tied the game 1-1 two minutes before period end. Unfazed, Aldergrove came right back to take the lead again with 24 seconds to go, on a goal scored by Aman Sivia, assisted by Jeff Steer, Aldergrove leads 2-1. At the beginning of the 3rd period Port Moody scored the equalizer making the final score 2-2. Although the Hewitt Bruins didn't score again, they controlled the game well, with a breathtaking possible goal rolling across the crease just as the buzzer sounded. Well done, Aldergrove. first period. Erika Pearson put Aldergrove up by 2 in the first minute of the second period unassisted. The last 17 minutes was scoreless and the hornets stung Surrey with a 3-1 victory. This game was very close in a great defensive battle. Aldergrove stopped 30 shots on net and Surrey stopped 26 shots on net. The Tween B team has come a long way in such a short time. Some girls are hardly mentioned on the score sheet but they are the backbone of thek teams- success. Without the defense - Erin Miller, Alyssa Hogan, Shannon Witt and Lindsay Carron, they are always hard working to keep thek team in the game and should be commended. Maria Mach and Kristine Hargrove do a great job skating up and down the ice in offensive and defensive redes. Wingers such as Leslie Thomasson, Tara Swinden, Erika Pearson, Shannon Waters work very hard against some tough teams to give Aldergrove a great scoring punch. Tina Harty has done a great job in goal and has played some of her best games in this competitive Tween B division and only giving up 1 goal in these last two games. Great work team!

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 Handicappers in for free raceway seminars CLOVERDALE - Two of North America's top handicappers and authors, Al Stanley and Sam Dragidi, will be at Cloverdale Raceway this Friday and Saturday (Nov. 20 & 21) to conduct two free seminars for racing fans. The Friday night session will be a 30 minute seminar starting at 6:00 and will take place in the Lower Clubhouse. It will focus on the basic elements on how to handicap the races as well as an in-depth look at Friday night's races. Saturday's 90 minute presentation will be a more extensive look at handicapping, as the duo will delve into how to recognize basic but essential points of handicapping the races. Stanley believes that early speed and positioning are key elements in trying to pick winners. There will be free admission, parking and coffee for all patrons arriving before the seminar begins at 11:00. Originally an employee at Ford of Canada and a part time horse player, Stanley decided- that the daily work grind was not for him. Already spending many of his spare hours compiling statistics and information to make himself a better handkapper, Stanley made the decision to make a career change and put to work all the new knowledge he had. Although his new scareer was not a 9-5 job in terms of hours, Stanley was more than willing to put in more than his share of time to it as he could see the rewards in the end. Stanley's vast knowledge of the harness racing game has impressed his audiences throughout North America with his proven methods of maximizing profits. Dubbed "Mr. Harness Racing" by a New York writer, Stanley will no doubt provide insights to even the most seasoned handicappers. ] Circle the dates on your calendar, it's a seminar you wouldn't want to miss.

From the opening whistle Gold Key gained control of the game, forcing the White Rock goalie to make several saves. Twice Aldergrove had the goalie beaten only to see thek efforts cleared off the line by defenders. In spite of the excellent soccer played by Gold Key, not allowing White Rock their first shot on goal until the 23rd minute mark and completely, dominating the first half, they had to settle for a disappointing scoreless tie at the half. Gold Key began the 2nd half just as they had ended the first half, testing the White. Rock defence and goalie again and again. Against the run of play, White Rock on one of the few forays they mounted into the Aldergrove half of the field scored at the 69 minute mark to go one up. This drained some of the spirit from the Gold Key team at the same time giving a big boost to White Rock. But Gold Key dug down deep and started to come back again, threatening, to gain the equalizer. At the 82 minute mark after a foul uncalled by the officials, a White Rock player clearly offside to everyone in the park was allowed to go in and score giving the Gold Key goalie no chance. Final score 2-0 for White Rock. Next game for Gold Key is away to Delta United on Sunday the 22nd at Association Park in Ladner. Kick-off is 2 p.m. AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL!

What is it? The Child Tax Benefit combines the existing Family Allowances and tax crssdits for children into a new tax free, monthly payment. It also includes a new supplement for low income working families. The benefit provides more money for children - $2.1 billion more, over five years - and targets money to those families who need it. In fact, most families will receive more money than they do now. What are the improvements? The benefit is fairer and simpler. It is designed with a very important goal in mind - to ensure that the money reaches the families who need it, as quickly as possible. * The monthly payments are tax free. * Because benefits are delivered each month, parents no longer have to wait until the end of the year to claim child tax credits. • There is no need to make annual applications - benefits are automatically calculated from the tax returns you file each year. * Benefits can be adjusted quickly when there is a change in your family, such as the birth of a child. What do I have to do? Watch your mailbox. A special information package is being sent to people who currently receive Family Allowances. Please read it carefully. It tells you how the benefit is calculated and how much you will receive if your family qualifies. If you have not received your information package by the end of November, please call this toll-free number : 1 -800-387-1193. (For service in French, 1-800-387-1194). In January the new monthly benefits will begin. Please remember to file your 1992 income tax return to continue to qualify for the Child Tax Benefit. The Brighter Futures Initiative. As part of tbe Federal Government's Brighter Futures Initiative, tbe new Child Tax Benefit is an important step toward providing a brighter future for our children.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 Krauss keeps the flame burning Reflections on Crooked Walking back after five year absence By KURT LANGMANN VANCOUVER - Now that she's 21 years old, Alison Krauss no longer has to put up with the child prodigy tag, but she's still amazing and her talents truly belie her tender years. The Ohio-born fiddler and singer was winning bluegrass championships while barely in hex teens, and her voice, which everyone compares to a young Dolly Parton, has brought bluegrass out of the closet into acceptance by a wider country music audience. I first saw her about five years ago at the Vancouver Folk Festival and became a fan from that moment on. Monday night was her first return to this area,' and Krauss and her band, Union Station, commented that the exceptional turnout and pleasant decor at the Commodore Ballroom was much more than they expected. They promised to return soon. That seems a likely probability as her 1990 album, I've Got That Old Feeling was an astounding breakthrough for bluegrass, selling half a million copies thanks in part to heavy play of her videos for the album's title song and Steel Rails. Her albums are distributed in Canada by Edmonton's Stony Plain and in America by Rounder. She'll also enjoy great word of mouth from the several hundred at the concert who were applauding for every song and instrumental solo for better than two hours. The traditional acoustic band, featuring guitar, stand- up bass, banjo, mandolin and fiddle, are all superlative players. Every solo earned appreciative whistles from the local musicians who turned out in force to see for themselves. But Krauss's key to mass acceptance has been her voice and her songs of longing and heartbreak. Bluegrass is famous for that "high lonesome sound" and her wispy soprano expresses the emotions that, we all share. She puts the blues into bluegrass, that's her forte. She also proved her roots by taking the band to the side of the stage, away from the microphones and amplifiers Alison Krauss for a version of the gospel classic, Heaven's Bright Shores that took over the room. Silence fell over the thousand-person- size ballroom, staff turned off fans, even the bartender stopped talking as his jaw dropped with everyone else's, and a bit of magic descended on the crowd. That got her an ovation. For all that talent and the public accolades (People magazine, among others, has been calling her a star in waiting for years), she's got humility and self-effacing humor, and promises she won't "sell out" to become the next Trisha Yearwood, the next formula country singer. She breaks rules all the time (using piano and drums, for example, on her recordings), but she remains true to the spirit of real bluegrass. After all, she's already succeeded beyond anyone's wildest dreams, on her own terms, and why fix something if it isn't broken? The Pacific Bluegrass society are to be thanked for bringing her here for the enjoyment of thek members, local musicians and her growing numbers of fans, and they did a great job for a small non-profit group. We got to see a real artist in an intimate atmosphere; it was as though we got to watch Bill Monroe — or a Picasso or Rembrandt — at work early in their careers, before time or the trappings of stardom made them less accessible to the common folk. But then, bluegrass has always been a "user friendly" artform. I suspect that even when Krauss gets to headline at bigger venues, she'll still touch her listeners and worship her art over gold. Puppet protested LONDON - Producers of the satirical television series Spitting Image, who ignored protests from Christians when they featured a rubber puppet of a hippy-style Jesus Christ, are to withdraw the puppet following angry criticism from Muslims, who revere Jesus as a prophet. The UK action committee for Islamic Affairs, which coordinated the campaign against Salman Rushdie's novel, Satanic Versesi, reacted with fury to the representation and immediately called a meeting to discuss further action. "We have no plans to bring (the puppet) back," said producer Bill Dare. GRAND MAISON BEEF FARM LTD. 5175 - l<84th SL, Cloverdale, B.C.

Dancing flowers, giant slugs and spinning spiders are only some of the fantastical creatures featured in Ann Mortifee's Jessie Award-winning musical, on stage from November 26 to January 3 at the Arts Club Theatre. Reflections on Crooked Walking caused a sensation five years ago when the Arts Club Theatre remounted this popular production. It returns again to the Granville Island Mainstage on November 26 and opens on December 1, just in time for the holiday season. They're all back - Gabby the talkative and constantly curious tomboy; Reverend Blinkers, the bookish rationalist; the bouncy, feather-brained Feathertoes; and Sufferton, the walking depression. This wayward foursome, who are trying to find the answer to their sleepy village's woes, weave their way through the spells of the mesmerizing enchantress, Madame Opia and ,her two zany henchmen, Nimble- knees and Wayless while the Doorman assumes various guises to delight and baffle everyone. Reflections on Crooked Walking is guaranteed to be lots of fun for young and not-so-young alike. Jane Mortifee (who previously played Gabby) stars as the ravishingly beautiful, but evil-minded Opia; Denis Simpson plays the earnest Doorman, and Lelani Marrell plays Gabby. Also in the cast are David Adams (Rev. Blinkers), John Payne (Sufferton), and Jennifer Copping (Feathertoes). Stunning visual effects will be generated by Alison Green's set, Marti Wright's costumes and Marsha Sibthorpe's lighting design. The dances will be under the expert direction of Judith Marcuse and musical direction is by Bruce Kellett. Last but not least, the production will be directed by Ann Mortifee who wrote the show, the music and lyrics and starred in its original production. Reflections on Crooked Walking previews Nov. 26 to Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. (no show on Sun.), with additional matinees on Fri. at 2 p.m. and Sat. at 4:30 p.m. For more information on showtimes and tickets call the Box Office 687-1644 or Ticket- master 280-3311. Book early, for this production sells out early!

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 Baroness tells of her life behind prison bars LANCASTER, England - An English baroness recently released from jail after serving a seven-year sentence for kidnaping her senile aunt, says her "prison career" has proved to her once and for all that the aristocracy and the working classes are natural allies and that the joint enemy are the "middling sort." The woman the other prisoners called "The Duchess" spoke of the prison where she had spent almost five years as if it were a stately pile owned by "Lord Home Office* and she had been a house guest. Plenty of servants, too: "Screws". Baroness Susan de Stempel was in unstoppable form. Giving her first newspaper interview since her release, she sat in the lounge of a Lancaster hotel, chaperoned by a beady-eyed man who described himself as a private detective, she launched into a condemnation of the middle classes. "I always maintain that the aristocracy and the peasants are the same," she said, warming to her theme, "lhe middle classes are all very discontented. They lose a lot of enjoyment in life by not accepting what they are. The peasants are much more direct. It makes it so mu<_i easier if one is direct. "The middle classes are so worried about the Joneses, but at the end of the day what does it matter what people think? I feel rather sorry for them worrying about whether they are eating correctly, whether they should be seen here or there. They seem to spend most of their life worrying," she said. The Baroness, 58, a dirert descendant of William Wilber- force, was jailed for kidnaping her aunt, Lady Illingworth, fleecing her of $l-million and forging the will to her $2-million estate. She dumped the old lady in a state nursing home, telling staff her "Aunt Puss" was a penniless . alcoholic with a passion for hitchhiking. Lady Illingworth, once a society queen, was given a pauper's burial when she died in 1986. Jailed with the baroness were her second husband, Baron de Stempel, an upper class gadfly whose title is obscure and Baltic, and two of her five children.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 13 BCAA's famous red-white-and-blue service trucks and tow trucks are getting a new look - but will still provide the same quality service that made them famous. Trucks with the new color scheme have the majority of their bodies painted white, with a blue band painted around the lower part of the truck body, separated from the white with a narrow band of red," explains Owen Chlopan, BCAA's emergency road service fleet operations manager. All trucks will bear the oval-shaped CAA logo in the white section. BCAA's new look is part of a national color scheme being adopted by all CAA-affiliated auto clubs. That means motorists will be able to easily recognize service trucks wherever they travel in Canada. "We expect to have all the trucks in our fleet painted with the new color scheme by next summer," says Chlopan.

There's a lot at stake here," says Cave. "There are real worries- in the public health community that if we don't do something soon we're going to have serious problems." The district has fust received the go-ahead from the provincial government to implement plans for improving the situation. As part of this initiative, the district, in conjunction with the Ministry of the Environment and the University College of the Fraser Valley, will conduct two public information meetings, one in Chilliwack and one in Hope. The Hope forum will take place on Wednesday, November 25 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the new UCFV Hope campus, 345 Raab Street. The Chilliwack meeting will take place on Thursday, November 26 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the UCFV Chilliwack campus. Admission is free. "We are very anxious to get public input before we start putting policies together," says Cave. "We need to get a sense of how people in the community feel about air quality issues. So we see these sessions as both an opportunity for the public to get information on the situation and the possible solutions, and also for us to get some direction from the community. "I want people to understand that although this is a serious problem, it is also solvable. There are so many big problems in the world today and we get overwhelmed. What tan we do about global warming? What can we do about the hole in the ozone? It's discouraging. "But we can do something about the air quality in the Fraser Valley. And we can do it without destroying the way we live or without making radical changes. It will require a partnership between industry, private citizens and government and it can be accomplished." The information meetings will feature a panel of experts on air quality from UBC, the GVBD, local governments and the Ministry of the Environment.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 Cross-border shopping slows thanks to dollar MOTORING IN THE VALLEY The wraps have come off the all-new design of the '93 Chrysler Intrepid, and its spacious, user-friendly interior and cab-forward configuration makes it a joy to own and drive. '93 Chrysler Intrepid clearly a driver's car Too often in the past, an automobile's exterior design made promises that its interior could not keep. Not so with Intrepid. Even a cursory examination of the interior should dispel any doubts as to the designers' intent. Cleariy, it was to establish the reputation of Intrepid as a driver's car well before the ignition key is turned. This seemingly formidable task was accomplished quite simply by putting the driver at the centre of things. Taking advantage of the exceptional sightlines provided by the low hoodline and cab- forward configuration, the interior design team has provided the driver with a seating position which is b<2St described as "command of the road." That m«eans enhanced visibility in all directions, not just ahead, over the hood and fenders. Instead of sinking down into a too-soft seat, the Intrepid driver is treated to the firm and supportive shape of a standard individual sport seat whose contours and firmness levels are based on anthropometric (body measurement) data and exhaustive competitive analysis. The result, according to Automobile Magazine is: "...cushion and backrest proportions well suited to North- American bodies." By making even the standard driver's seatback recliner infinitely adjustable and providing extended 230 mm (9in.) front seat tracks, the Intrepid interior design team has made securing an optimal seating position a near certainty for most drivers. This is especially true when Intrepid's standard tilt steering column is factored into the equation. Futher ergonomic fine-tuning is available in the form of a four- position adjustable lumbar support that's standard with the Intrepid premium seating (which can be ordered with optional eight-way power driver's seat controls). A vehicle's controls must be within easy reach and the instrumentation easily read. With that in mind, primary and secondary controls were carefully studied for positioning as well as shape, feel and visual recognition. Power window, mirror and door lock controls are all located on the driver's door for ease of operation. They are shaped for fingertip activation and highlighted at night by unique LED indicators. Optional electronic speed control switches are located on the steering wheel spokes and can be accessed without moving one's hand from the wheel. The large, highly readable, black-on-white full analogue instrumentation is clearly visible through the steering wheel and can be supplemented by an optional message centre and an overhead console with a five- function trip computer, compass and outside temperature readouts. OTTAWA - Retail analyst John Winter, of John Winter Associates in Toronto, says the popularity of cross-border shopping has decreased dramatically thanks to a dropping dollar, and that was backed up by figures from Statistics Canada indicating that 5.8 million same-day car trips were taken to the US this past August, down 0.9 percent from the same month last year. "I expect to see this trend continue because the dollar slipped even more (since August)," Winter says. "With the slippage of the dollar, it is no longer as advantageous to cross-border shop," he says. Figures were not only down in August, but it was also the fifth month this year that showed same-day automobile trips to the US in decline. "We've certainly turned a corner, but we still have a long way to go if 5.8 million Canadians are still cross-border shopping every month," says Wintssr. Mayor Joe talks tax cuts CALGARY - Langley city mayor Joe Lopushinsky is one of the scheduled speakers at the first ever Canadian Taxpayers Conference, coming at the end of January. Hosted by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, the event will draw speakers and workshop instructors from across the country and around the world. Over 30 workshops and discussions will focus on the •theme, It's Our Responsibility; the need for taxpayers to lead the way in promoting fiscal responsibility and political reform. Lopushinsky's appearance is credited to his engineering of a municipal lax cut, of one percent, in Langley city last year. Other speakers are Californian Joel Fox, Sweden's Bjom Tarras- Wahlbssrg, American Lewis Uhler, New Zealand's Sir Roger Douglas and Canadian MP Patrick Boyer. CTF founder Kevin Avram and economists from the CD. Howe Institute and Simon Fraser University will talk about Canada's scurrent fiscal position and legislated spending limits.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 15 Nissan launches first all-North American family car, Altima For the first time ever, a team of North Americans has played major roles in engineering, styling and tooling up to build an all-new, mainstream family sedan for a Japanese-based automaker. be adjusted to compensate for inaccuracies, Altima goes together with precision, first time, every time. This yields a car, free of rattles, squeaks and vibrations, and likely to stay that way years The 1993 Nissan Altima GXE is a first in many respects. The 1993 Nissan Altima went on sale in Canada in September. It's a modestly priced 5-seater with the quality, road-feel, comfort, performance, ride, handling and accident avoidance capability of cars costing a great deal more. Styled at Nissan Design International, in San Diego, Altima was engineered at Nissan Research and Development, in Farmington Hills, Mich, and development tested in Arizona and Ontario. Altimas are built at North America's biggest single auto plant - Nissan's massive mile- long stamping, component and assembly complex in Smyrna, Tenn.' A fundamental advantage that sets Altima apart from all of its rivals is the Nissan Satisfaction Commitment - the best owner- care and warranty package available in Canada. It comes complete with roadside assistance for all emergencies, including flat tires, lockouts, or an empty fuel tank. Another unique Altima Feature is its super-strong body - one that shields occupants in a crash while resisting the sort of bending, squeaks and rattles that are common in many family sedans. Altima gains its structural strength from the Smyrna's plant's use of North America's first Intelligent Body Assembly System or IBAS. This patented arrangement of 51 robots is grouped around and over a passageway about the size of an automatic car-wash. IBAS replaces the conventional car-industry body-building process which uses clumsy "jigs" and welders to assemble the body-shsdl bit by bit - a setup prone to inaccuracy, flexing and inferior welds. By contrast, IBAS mates, welds and laser-schecks Altima's body in a single step and in seconds. Each finished shell is accurate to within 0.1mm - less than the thickness of a sheet of paper. This brings several other benefits. For example, where many auto-builders have tended to accept .that parts .may. have to. longer than any of its rivals. Altima's strength also creates an exceptionally secure platform on which to mount Altima's suspension - which in turn makes the car exceptionally nimble, predictable and stable. That also makes Altima a lot of fun to drive, but that's not the point," says one of its project engineers, adding: "The key goal was to create a tremendously forgiving car - one that will allow even an inexperienced driver the best chance to stay in full control - even under the worst of road, weather and driving conditions." Power is provided by Altima's sophisticated, 2.4 litre, twin-cam, four-cyclinder engine, similar to that which powers Nissan's 240SX sportscar. Rated at 150 horsepower, it combines the muscle of a V6 with the fuel efficiency and lighter weight of a four. Fuel economy is estimated at 9.917100km (city) and 7.217100 km (highway). Two transmissions are offered a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual or the optional, electronically-controlled 4-speed automatic with fuel-saving overdrive. Altima l is offered in three versions - a well-equipped but modesdy priced XE, the mid- range GXE, and the sporty, top- of-the-line SE. A driver's side air-bag is standard on all Altimas, together with tilt-adjust steering column and highly responsive power- assisted rack and pinion steering. Standard equipment on all versions also includes: AM/FM cassette stereo, premium velour- upholstered seats, a full set of easy-to-read dash instruments and warning lights, dual power- adjustable door mirrors, remote trunk and fuel releases, trunk and glovebox illumination, dual cup-holders, dual front-door map-pcK±ets, and a centre console with covered storage bin For added safety and comfort, all three-point seat-belts are height-adjustable. Those three- point belts in the passenger positions feature . Nissan's, new ELR/ALR mechanism which allows secure installation of child seats. All Altimas also have a power- boosted ventilation and heating system with rear-seat heater ducts and side-window defrosters. Standard equipment of the mid-range GXE and top-of-the- line SE includes new-generation, environmentally friendly air- conditioning, power doorlocks, power windows, power antenna, woodgrain accents on the dashboard and a trunk-through hatch, allowing loading of long cargo, such as skis. Skid-resistant anti-lock brakes are optional on the GXE and standard on the SE. The top-of-the-line SE Altima also includes as standard equipment Nissan's award-winning viscous-coupling limited-slip front differential. This yields exceptional traction and stability on snowy, icy or rain-slicked roads. Unlike four-wheel-clrive, viscous front-wheel-drive does not significantly affect the car's weight or fuel consumption. spoiler, alloy wheels, sports-type Other SE features include front bucket seats, sunroof, four- sportier suspension settings than wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, on the standard Altima, a rear arid foglights.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 Abductors sought ABBOTSFORD - RCMP are looking for two men who abducted, sexually assaulted and dumped a Vancouver prostitute in Sumas Prairie, late in the evening of Nov. 10. The male trans vestite was picked up by two men on East Hastings, near the PNE, about 11 p.m. that night. The suspects are described as East Indian men. One was about 19 years old, thin, medium height, clean shaven with short black hair parted in the middle. The other is 22 to 25 years, speaks poor English, clean shaven with way black hair and stocky build. The suspects' van was an early '80s model, two-tone brown with a customized interior and oblong smoked glass window on the left side. Information can be called to any RCMP offke or Crime- Stoppers. Reduce, reuse, recycle; It's your business BURNABY - Businesses will get a boost with their waste reduction programs with the Greater Vancouver Regional District's new Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" It's Your Business! waste reduction kit. The kit is the result of workshops held by the GVRD in July this year with representatives from industry, retail businesses and institutions. This group generates about 60% of the region's solid waste. Workshop participants •were asked to comment on what was the most valuable information they required to assist them in developing their waste reduction programs. The result has been the development of a package of stand-alone modules directed at specific audiences. The kit includes an introductory brochure, a guide to conducting a waste assessment, a directory of recycled products, a booklet of waste reduction tips, and a booklet of local resources and contacts (for recycled and environmentally-firiendly products). The kit also includes some new approaches to providing information to the business community and reducing waste at the same time. Instead of reprinting the industrial waste reduction directory, which is •quickly out of date, busin<ssses can contact the GVRD for the latest information on industrial waste reduction and recycling companies. A company can request information on a printout or on computer disc. Waste reduction in retail businesses, industries and institutions is an important priority in reaching the goal of 50% reduction of solid waste by the year 2000. The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: It's Your Business! waste reduction kit was partially funded by the ministry of environment, lands and parks. Breast screening wins VANCOUVER - Representatives of the British Columbia Cancer Agency, the Screening Mammography Program of British Columbia, and the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. 8t Yukon Division, have reviewed the preliminary results of the National Breast Screening Study which will be published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal next week. Detailed results of British Columbia's program, between July 19.88 and April 1992 demonstrate that 455 previously undetected breast cancers have been detected. This is a rate of four cancels for every 1000 examinations performed. The survival and quality of life of these women has been improved because early detection provided them with more options for less invasive treatment and a 95 percent cure rate. The study confirms that no harmful ssffects have been demonstrated from mammography.

J Land at risk, Fort farmers tell council MURRAYVILLE - The land will deteriorate if it is not properly drained, a group of Fort Langley farmers told council members here Monday night. The farmers, who own more than 80 percent of the Salmon River lowlands surrounding the village, pleaded with councilors to install a new pumphouse where the Salmon drains into the Fraser river. The old pump, which was installed about 40 years ago, is no longer capable of properly draining the land, David Grant said. The land is flooded during extensive periods both during the winter and during the growing season, he said, resulting in high soil acidity to the point where the use of the agricultural land is highly limited. Recent urban development in Langley has added to the problem, he said, sending more drainage water into the smaller Fraser River tributaries. Councilors would ask staff to study the matter, but municipal administrator Jim Godfrey warned that it would be "a big (costly) item." October housing starts fall VANCOUVER - Housing starts fell in October according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Hie seasonally adjusted annual rate of starts for urban B.C. dropped to 32,000 units in October from 40,000 units saar last month. "After four months of high activity the decline was not significant," said Helmut Pastrick, regional economist. "Starts will likely rebound next month since the market fundamentals are still good." Nationally, housing starts dropped to 162,000 units saar from a revised 182,000 units saar in August. B.C. and Ontario accounted for most of the decline. LESS AFFECTED BY ECONOMY Renovation spending surpasses new construction in 1991 OTTAWA - In 1991, renovation spending totalled $l6.7-billion, amounting to nearly half of total spending on ' residential construction, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's new National Renovation Markets publication, launched Nov. 3. The new annual publication is expected to become an important planning resource within the construction industry, compiling Canadian renovation information from a wide range of sources and analysing the extent of activity and recent market trends. "Information on homeowner renovation spending is important to the industry as two-thirds of all expenditures is spent on contract work," explained Gilles Proulx, CMHCs chief economist. "Right now, the renovation industry is just as big as new construction and its value should increase further in the future." "Contrary to previous recessions, renovation spending has not been unaffected," concluded Proulx. "However, renovation spending declined only slightly compared to a large drop in construction of new homes, and recent indicators show it is recovering in 1992." The regional pattern of renovation spending has moved in tandem with the general economy, contracting in Ontario and Quebec while maintaining steady growth in B.C. and Alberta. This publication reviews recent trends in renovation spending, presents a profile of who spends the most on renovations, broken-down by age, value of the dwelling, etc., and provides a provincial breakdown of renovation activity. Regulations for Bill 84 f§ "must be made public" VICTORIA - The Liberal opposition is calling on labour minister Moe Sihota to release the regulations for the new Labour Code to allow full public analysis of the rules that apply to the bill while the code is still being debated in the legislature. "The regulations are the meat and potatoes of the labour law," said Liberal labour critic Gary Farrell-Collins. "Without them, the real effects of the bill are hidden from public scrutiny." The labour critic pointed to several examples where the new legislation refers to the regulations, including the contentious areas of certification votes, strike and lockout votes and membership cards. Farrell-Collins noted that the report on labour legislation tabled by three labour experts contained draft regulations. "Moe Sihota owes it to the people of British Columbia to state his position on these draft regulations - does he support the existing draft, or does he have another agenda he's still discussing with Ken Georgetti?" "The Harcourt government has been very secretive with the new labour code, not releasing the report on the legislation until the bill was tabled. Is the minister of labour now planning on hiding the regulations until he can quietly slip them in, hoping no one will notice? I'm beginning to wonder what the NDP are afraid of?"

On Thursday Nov. 12 the Bruins played host to Surrey. Despite their best efforts the Bruins were unable to contain Surrey who scored three unanswered goals in the first period and one more in the second before Scott Robinson ended Surrey's shut out at 7:13- In the third, Surrey continued their scoring ways scoring four more goals. Aldergrove managed to get one more goal in the dying minutes of the game. Scoring was Paul Daley, assist to Marc Windle. Sunday November 15 found the Bruins travelling to Chilliwack once again, this time for the first league game of the season The Bruins came on strong in the first period getting many chances on net but were just unable to capitalize. It was until 3:14 of the second when everything clicked, and Scott put the puck past the Chilliwack goalie, assist to Mike Roberts. Defenseman Tyler Perkins started the scoring at 10:08 of the third when he was allowed to walk in on the Chilliwack net and skim the puck over the netminders shoulder. At 4:42 Marc and Ben Henthorne made a pretty passing play to beat the Chilliwack goalie once more. Despite Aldergrove's best efforts the final score was Aldergrove 3, Chilliwack 7. Aldergrove's next home game is Thursday Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. The Bruins will be conducting a botde drive this coming Saturday Nov. 21.

NDP ignoring B.C. fisheries Here it is By CARL GRAME STEWART The other day someone suggested I was talking through my hat when I said the institution we call government is placing us all in such deep debt that we will likely as a country recover from it. With all the skills and diligence of the investigative reporter that he is, Day Roberts went to the library and dug up some facts for both me and you. Below you will see just how much of a hole we are in. Is there anyone out there who has any conception of just how much $450-billion really is? Pay attention here, I didn't say million, I said billion. Our debt is so enormous that we should be able to pay off our interest on the debt just in time to celebrate the 800th landing of the people of the Council of the Milky Way in the 37th Millennium. In other words bunky, if we continue too allow so-call«2d politicians and statesmen to spend our money they will have sunk us so far in debt that no other country would want to take us over. I am told in strictest confidence that Saddam Hussein was offered Canada and he, along with the King of Jordan, and the Head Pubah of Saudi Arabia couldn't collectively afford to pay our bar bills let alone our national debt, not that they would "want to do such a thing. Now the politicians want to have more people in the House Nice going, Brian! By NIGEL HANNAFORD Nice of Mr. Mulroney to give all those kids in New Brunswick a day off from school. As unemployment rises and Mexico's pool of cheap labor enters the free trade market, we may reflect that those youngsters are not the first people to get a day off from Mr. Mulroney, the chief architect of the North American Free Trade Agreement, nor will they be the last. Donation updates language lab LANGLEY - A $5,000 donation by Sony of Canada Ltd. has helped update the antiquated language lab system at Trinity Western University. The funds were given towards the purchase of a state-of-the-art Sony language lab system. Assistant French professor Kelsey Haskett stated "the new system allows for much greater flexibility and allows more scope for the future." She added the old system was "ancient" and functioning poorly. Trinity Western University's curriculum includes German, French, Russian, Greek, Hebrew and Latin, all required for various majors. It also hosts the Canadian Summer Institute of Linguistics on campus each summer. Lorraine Kolberg, Director of Corporate Relations for the university, said language study helps to prepare students for careers in an increasingly multilingual society. of Commons. Phooey! These guys must be crazy if they assume Canadians are going to buy such a move. Or, we must be crazy (all 2J3-million of us) for continuing to vote such lunatics into office. I think the new name for our gold-colored one dollar coin fits the description perfectly. We who pay the bills must be loony for allowing it to continue. Read the chart below, go to the library and check it out for yourself; do anything you need to do to become fully aware of what is going on around you and in your country. Don't tell me I am talking through my hat when I give you the facts. And dont take my word for it either, because you have just as mucii access to this data as anyone who works for a newspaper.

Friends of VICTORIA - Liberal fisheries critic Bob Chisholm accused the Harcourt government today of ignoring the B.C. fisheries industry at the expense of hundreds of jobs. Chisholm, along, with Richmond Steveston Liberal MLA Allan Warnke, said the provincial government is idly standing by while B.C. Packers shuts down its cannery in Steveston resulting in a loss of jobs for 50 full-time workers and more than 200 seasonal employees. It will also result in a loss of half of the scanning capability cm the west coast. ■*$&$. "This government has repeatedly called for more value-added jobs yet, here we are losing value-added jobs while the Harcourt government does nothing to try and preserve them," said Chisholm. "The future of the fishing industry is hanging in the balance but the NDP sits idly by and watches it slowly disappear." The Liberal party supports a call by the Fishermen's Union for an inquiry by a "Job's Commissioner" into the Steveston closure. Chisholm and Wamke are critical of the provincial gov- ernment for not having an economic strategy for the province for fisheries and agriculture - two industries which have fallen on hard times. "We desperately need an . overall economic strategy which would be of enormous benefit to those workers employed in agriculture and fisheries," said Chisholm. "For too long British Columbia's economic policies have been ad hoc. Now, with free trade opening-up around the world, B.C. needs an economic strategy more than ever before." "Recycled crafts" for kids MATSQUI - The upcoming Arts Council Christmas Craft Fair has a special attraction of interest to kids and parents alike. While moms and dads are shopping in the Craft Fair, children will be able to stay in the Treasures from Trash area and create Christmas decorations and other crafts from household garbage and industrial scraps and trimmings. Tree decorations, wall hangings, creative wrapping paper, and1 even presents are just some of the items likely to be produced in this Santa's recycling workshop for kids. Thete is no charge for admission to the Craft Fair, or to the Treasures from Trash area. Joining the Treasures from Trash area will be Creation Station, a service of the MSA society specializing in collecting, sorting and packaging commercial and industrial scraps and waste for craft making. They will Prostate cancer on the rise, says prof VANCOUVER - Canada's aging male baby boomers face a significant increase in cancer of the prostate over the next decade, warns a UBC cancer researcher. "The number of cases will double by 2001, putting a major stress on our health scare system and it's all due to our aging population," said Paul Rennie, an honorary professor of Surgery. About 12,000 new cases of prostate cancer are being diagnosed in Canada each year, and it is the second leading cause of cancer death in men after lung cancer, he said. Because prostate cancer can be a slow-progressing disease, making early detection rare, he stressed the importance oif public awareness in- combating the disease. A simple blood test called the prostate specific antigen, or PSA test, can be performed to aid detection of the disease, Rennie said. Rennie recommends that men 45 years of age and older have a PSA once a year. Less than 20 per cent of patients with advanced prostate cancer are cured because of late detection, he said. Rennie suggested that because the prostate accumulates high levels of zinc, it may be an important mineral supplement to preserve the function and health of the prostate. If detected in its early stages, prostate cancer can be treated by removal of the prostate gland. However, treatment of advanced prostate cancer is currently limited to surgical or medical castration, or the use of high doses of estrogens, female sex hormones which block the activity of male sex hormones, known as androgens. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. High doses of estrogen, however, raise the risk of cardiovascular disease "considerably," Rennie said. He recently discovered the region of genes involved in hormonal regulation of the prostate, allowing him to embark on a detailed study of androgen- dependent tumors. Rennie's work is being funded by the Medical Research Council of Canada. integration meet jazz dance with panache ABBOTSFORD - The Upper Fraser Valley Neurological Society hosts Friends of Integration meetings on the second Tuesday of every month at the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre, 34081 Cyril Street, Abbotsford, B.C.

Dream on By WAYNE The feeling of wealth can be exhilarating and fun, The just rewards of a job well done. A new suit of clothes, a night on the town, Your wife and your daughter in pink silken gowns. A new car to drive, a home by the lake, Money in the bank, and more deals to make. But once in a while, for no reason at all, A small voice in your mind starts to beckon and call, And you remember the days of not so long ago, You'd hide the girls in the trunk, and head for the show. Two bucks worth of gas, and a six pack of beer, You'd roam the back roads without any fear. Oh, a '48 Ford, with a flat head V8, The steering was tricky, not too much for brakes. Four bald tires, and those little hub caps, The floor boards were gone, it was painted flat black. So in my back yard, just for sheer joy, There's an ol' pickup truck, the wife calls it my toy. It's kinda scary to drive, it's all I can afford. It's my modern day version of a '48 Ford. WWXM VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Some words on diabetes and the myths THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 19. 1992 19 The following column was written by Janice Boots, a dietician with Diabetes Services at Langley Memorial Hospital. November is Diabetes Month in Canada - an opportune time to discuss the symptoms of diabetes, who is at risk, and some "Food Myths" related to diabetes. Diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood sugar. Some of the symptoms which result from high blood sugar are thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, and hunger. Often the symptoms are so mild that you may not even notice them - in fact, of the one million people in Canada who have diabetes, half of them don't know it! Who is at risk for developing diabetes? Diabetes tends to run in families; if a person has a grandparent, aunt, uncle, parent or sibling with diabetes there is an increased chance that he or she will develop diabetes. Often being overweight, developing an illness or infection, or just getting older can "trigger" the development of diabetes. Good nutrition and healthy eating habits play an important role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes. However, there are a number of commom myths about diabetes and food: Myth #1: Eating sugar causes diabetes. Fact: Eating too much sugar doesn't cause diabetes. You need not have a sweet tooth to develop diabetes. If a person does not have diabetes the blood sugar always remains normal regardless of how much sugar is eaten. Myth #2: You must be overweight to develop diabetes. Fact: Many people who Municipalities to get extra votes on new GVRD board BURNABY - Nine municipalities will receive additional votes on the 1993 Greater Vancouver Regional District board of directors and Surrey will also get an additional director. The changes reflect population growth. The new board, which will be sworn in on December 9, will have a total of 31 directors with a total of 96 votes. This includes Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Matsqui, which are not members of the GVRD but participate in key functions. Surrey, whose population rose nearly 64,000 from 1986 to 1991, will now have three directors with a total of 13 votes. Vancouver receives an additional two votes while Richmond, Coquitlam, Delta, Langley township, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and Matsqui all receive on more vote. Votes are determined by the municipality's population with one vote for each 20,000 people, and a maximum of five votes for one dkector. Municipalities with more than one director on the '93 board are Vancouver (five directors, 24 votes), Surrey (three directors, 13 votes), Richmond (two directors, 7 votes) and Burnaby (two directors, 8 votes). Coquitlam and Delta directors will have the maximum five votes on the new board, with both municipalities having populations over 80,000. Except for the region's three unincorporated electoral areas, the board is composed of mayors and councilors appointed from local councils. All municipalities are represented. In the electoral areas directors are .elected directly by the voters. The GVRD delivers essential regional services including air quality management, water, wastewater treatment, solid waste management, municipal labour relations, affordable housing, hospital planning and capital financing, and regional parks to 1.6 million people, half the population of British Columbia.

' Myth *3: Sugar is the only food that causes weight gain. Fact: Too much of any food can cause weight gain. Cutting back on sugar will help control your weight but trimming the fat from food is an even better way. Regular exercise helps prevent weight gain too.

NOVEMBER 19. 1992 SENIORS' NEWS Time flies but it's fun By MAUDIE MACPHERSON ALDERGROVE - The fall holidays are all over; Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, Remembrance Day and now the stores are full of Christmas goodies. ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, Several months ago my husband was in an industrial accident at work which resulted in a broken hip. He spent quite a time in hospital and because I . don't drive, my neighbour's husband (Don) would drive me to the hospital. To make the story shorter, Don and I began an affair that lasted until my husband was released and Don and I immediately broke off our affair. He phoned me the other night and told me his wife suspects we had an affair and he feels that he should come clean and tell her about us. This means, of course, that my husband will find out in time. How can I prevent this? Why can't Don keep it to himself and not cause all these problems? Signed: I've got a secret. Dear Secret, When two people embark on an affair like you had you have to be prepared to face the consequences. If your ex-lover has made up his mind to confess you must do the same. If however, he hasn't fully decided to tell his wife you must try to convince him that because the affair is dead and gone, the best thing to do is forg«st it ever happened and get on with your respective lives. Whatever you do, remember how foolish you both were and try to avoid temptation in the future - it doesnt pay. Dear Annabelle, This does not need an answer but I just want to share it with you and your readers: Last week I saw some pillows on sale and because my husband keeps saying he would like a new pillow for his ever-aching neck, I bought two. I put them in our bed that night as a surprise for him. The next morning he came down to breakfast rubbing his neck and announced his neck hurt much worse than it usually did. And he blamed the new pillow. When he was out that day and I remade the bed, I removed the new pillow and replaced it with his old one. The following morning he came down for breakfast as usual, still rubbing his neck and complaining about how I should let him have his old pillow back because the new one was killing him! After being married to this man for 51 years I am thinking of starting over. Signed: Winnie. Dear Winnie, Thanks for the funny story - I can't match jt yet but I'm sure the day will come. Hard to believe only a little over a month until the holiday season. I'd like to congratulate Mr. George Ives on his recent trip to England for the Remembrance Day Services. Just imagine George will be 111 years old on Nov. 17. Happy Birthday, George. Bowling drew a small crowd Thursday, only fourteen were out, it still made for a good afternoon of fun. The Patricia Whist on Friday had six tables. Yours truly got the booby prize. For some reason I always come home with something from Patricia Hall. There will not be a Whist evening there next month, so many events are taking place in December the hall is not available. Keep in mind the pot luck dinner in the O.A.P. the last Sunday of the month. Sixty-three attended the Wednesday dance. Peppy Shakers provided the music. 50-50 was won by Claire (missed the last name) and George Sperin. . Spot dance went to Helen Souther and Fred Miller. Two birthdays were celebrated, that of Laura Gunter and Opal Thomas. A surprise phone call from Barbara and Al Lane who are wintering in Arizona was appreciated by the dancers. Just a call to keep in touch. Saturday dance crowd was small, only 56. Door prize went to Bill Dennis and Thelma, a gal from Chilliwack. Winners of 50- 50 were Barney Goble, and John Craig. Spots were won by Hazel Maser and Walter Kenriecly and Georgina Onstine and Ellie Wilson. A card was signed for Peter Cramier who is moving to Regina. Olga Newvicowski was welcomed to the dance. Birthdays of Charlie Milward and Al Faustman were celebrated as well as the engagement of Doris Pelik and Red Burns. These evidently are not superstitious, since they chose Friday 13th for the event. Happy Gang will play for the coming week and the Western- aires the following week. Dec. 8 is the day chosen for the Christinas dinner at the O.A.P. hall. So many young people with their children came out to the Remembrance Service at the Legion. Since the number of veterans attending diminishes each year it is good to see the younger generation carrying on the tradition of remembering those who gave their lives in hopes of a better world and freedom for all. The Choral Group had a busy week, entertaining twice, once at Langley Lodge and at New Vista in Burnaby, as well as the usual practice. Guess that completes the OA.P. news for this week. One good thing about the fog this week: you can't see what you are breathing.

We've been through liberation, sensitivity training, communication seminars, psychotherapy. But some things havian't changed. We still flirt. In fact, for some of us it's a primal urge. Experts say that there are many r<2asons why we do it: to be friendly, make connections, get attention, find a date, find a mate. "Some people flirt who are gregarious, who enjoy a lot of small connections with people," says John Fergus, who holds workshops on how to meet "relationship-minded people." They like flirting, smiling and enjoy the feeling of having someone admire and look at them." Fergus insists that knowing how to flirt is important in attracting a potential mate but adds that some flirts can get carried away. "Some crave a lot of attention," says Fergus. "They need to be affirmed to be okay, and it goes beyond the enjoyment of being noticed." An official definition of a flirt? Websters' New Collegiate Dictionary defines a flirt as one who "behaves amorously without serious intent or shows superficial or casual interest or liking." Synonyms for flirt include vamp, gold digger, hussy, lady killer, wolf and philanderer. Although the very mention of the word conjures up images of manipulative women and womanizing men, flirting remains a staple of sexual communication in our culture. "Flirting is ... a sexual ritual and a kind of sport," says Barry Thome, a professor of sociology and director of women's studies at the University of Southern California. SajS "Women, men and same gender attractions tap into that," says Thome. "There is a consent and refusal, a playing with an interest but not quite giving it. The momentary focusing of attention on the other person is what's titillating. "People also flirt because they can back away from the consequences," Thome adds. "Being direct means putting yourself on the line for rejection." Ideally, an up-front "Hey, I think you are really attractive" might be preferable to open-for- interpretation "come hither" looks and glances. But many find flirtation is a habit. "When I meet a guy, my fkst inclination is to relate to him on a flirtatious level," says Kathy Griffin, a 31-year-old actress. "If I see a guy, chances are I'll try to win him over. "Flirting is where I'm best," she adds. "Once it comes to the relationship, I'm an emotional fetus. The secret of flirting is presenting an image of having no needs." The question arises: Can a lounge lizard-tart-masher- hussy be trusted? "You should be wary of the constant flirt," advises Elaine Rosenson, a Los Angeles therapist who works with singles and holds classes on 'Meeting Mr. Right'. "That type of person is probably not wanting an. intimate relationship but instead gets his or her identity from flirting." And although flirting might be fun in some instances, it is often not the best form of intssraction, says Ann Hickey, a health educator at USC. "The problem with flirting is that the intent and the receiver dont usually match up," Hickey says. "The message isn't clear often, and it can be misconstrued. Anita Hill said, "You call it flirting; I call it sexual harassment." Instead of flirting, Hickey advises straight communication. The best way to avoid uncomfortable situations, she says, is to be honest and direct "Flirting is a socially acceptable way of not being direct and of objectifying people," Hickey says. "Flirting is also a verbal power struggle between men and women." Many experts agree that male flirting has sexual undertones whereas women may flirt just to be friendly or to make a connection. "Flirting is often a form of foreplay for m<2n," Hickey says. "For women it can be a way of making a connection, while men are trying to get action." Says Fergus: "Men dont think so much along the lines of flirting, they think, 'There's an opportunity, what am I going to do about it?' For women, they might think, There's, someone I'd like to meet. How do I show him I'm attracted'?" A 40-year-old composer from Malibu admits that he usually has a sexual agenda when he flirts with a woman. "I usually won't flirt with a woman unless I'm attracted to her and hoping it will lead to something," he says. Len, 61, who asked that his last name not be used, says he's always been a flirt: He's flattered, charmed, smiled and kidded with women. He says that he's shocked at how flirting has changed. "Women are flirting now," says the Los Angeles teacher, who was married three times and has been living with a woman for eight years. "And flirting when I was young wasn't as obvious. Now it's overt, and everything is a sexual innuendo." THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 19. 1992 21 'Your Voice' By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK What is your reaction to the possibility of having Madonna's book, SEX, in the Aldergrove Library? Laurie Lowery: I think it's trash and I think she should be banned from TV and any kind of public outlet completely. IPs Jill Atkinson, 13: I think that all the kids want it in, but I don't think it would be appropriate. It would be interesting to read. I think that everyone wants to read it so maybe it should be in, but it is inappropriate. Joe Hurtubise, 13: It depends on what age group could see it. I don't know much about the book, but I've seen it around and there's a lot of comments about it Margaret Wall: I think it's fine as long as it's not in the children's section. It's freedom of the press as far as I'm concerned. Eileen Sundean: At my age I wouldn't read it and if I had children I would probably not let them look at it. I just don't think it should be allowed, really. A word from Mom: Maybe, instead of buying her book, you could donate a bit of money to your favorite charity, to help make a real difference. She's such a bimbo, isn't she? NDPers lash out at feminists VICTORIA - New Democrats cut and slashed at one of their own support groups, feminists, as they defended the constitutional accord before the ill-fated vote. Advanced education minister Tom Perry described the anti- accord arguments of Judy Rebick, chair of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, as a "fatuous denigration of reality," while backbencher Jan Pullinger was more gentle, describing Ms. Rebick as someone she "respected a great deal," but who was misguided. Well, who was really misguided? NOVEMBER 21,1992 "SEEKERS" a truly unique store located in the Aldergrove Mall features antiques, new & pre-owned furniture, collectibles and art. Custom furniture & draperies also available. Exeptional GRAND OPENING SPECIALS. Come & join us. Refreshments compliments of Super Valu & Subway, Aldergrove. Are we unable to enjoy? TORONTO - People are so worried about the upcoming work week and the accompanying problems that they can't enjoy their weekends anymore. It's known as the 'Sunday blahs,' and it's rapidly overtaking the 'Monday blues,' according to psychologists. "As soon as Sunday comes along (people) get anxious, agitated about work and the pressure starts," says psychiatrist Brian Hoffman from Mount Sinai Hospital. Management consultant Judy Hauserman says there are ever- increasing large groups of people who work on weekends to catch up on tasks, thereby losing out on the opportunity to relax. Hoffman suggests the best way to ward off the Sunday blahs is to spend time socializing or devoting time to oneself. Pop wisdom alongside Plato NEW YORK - The wit and wisdom of Dirty Harry has invaded the highly conservative pages of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations - America's literary bible - which was first published in 1855. fHf Along with the sayings of philosophers, poets and statesmen of the past 4,000 years, the latest edition includes Clint Eastwood's famous cop movie line: "Go ahead, make my day." It also includes "Me want cookie," by Sesame Street's Cookie Monster, and the Doors' song title "Come on baby, light my fire." Justin Kaplan, the Pulitzer prize winning author who edited the 20,000-quote guide, said: "I've tried to make the book a great deal more down-to-earth." Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger crept into the last edition. Now 70 new quotes have been added from such musical luminaries as Jimi Hendrix, rock 'n' roller Carl Perkins, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, who provides "You ain't nuthin' but a hound dawg, .crying all the time." "Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here," is attributed to the Trekkies, fans of the American television Star Trek 'saga. While Alec Guinness, in his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, forces his way in with "May the Force be with you," Robert Duval was included for his Apocalypse Now line: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like "victory." Away from showbusiness, quotes include Margaret Thatcher's "If you lead a country like Britain ... you have to have a touch of iron about you." Prince Charles gets in with: "Give this much to the Luftwaffe. When it knocked down our buildings, it didn't replace them with anything more offensive than rubble. We did that." John Bartlett, a bookshop owner in Cambridge, Massachusetts, founded the guide to "show the obligations our language owes to various authors for numerous phrases and familiar quotations." But Kaplan said that in the 1990s it is necessary to look beyond books to show how peopij talk and think. Universities rated,some good, some not TORONTO - Maclean's second annual review of Canadian universities features a sophisticated survey producing a complete ranking of 45 universities in three categories. Fifteen universities with major doctoral programs and medical schools placed McGill on top, followed by Toronto and Queens. Waterloo, Simon Fraser and Guelph emerged in the top three positions of the 12 comprehensive universities who have a broad focus of both the undergraduate and doctoral level. Highlights of the survey include sketches of each Canadian university, from Newfoundland's Memorial to the University of Victoria and a Decima student poll, revealing a positive reaction to their campus experienced; 84 percent feel that they are getting a good- education, 82 percent claim that they prefer studying at a Canadian university, and 83 percent think that their teachers are doing a good or excellent job. Joining with the USA TORONTO - A majority of Canadian manufacturers are looking to pursue business partnerships with United States firms, according to a survey released by the Pennsylvania Department of Commerce. Nearly 70 percent of those who responded, more than 350 firms, said they want to pursue strategic alliances, joint ventures or cooperative agreements in the US.

As a first step, Manning has laid out a plan for reducing the size of the federal cabinet from its present complement of 39 ministers to 24 or less. "Canada has the doubtful honor of having the largest cabinet in the world," said Flanagan. "Britain gets by with 22, and the United States with just 14. If we are serious about making government more economical, we must begin at the top." ?||| THE ALDERGROVE STAR. NOVEMBER 19. 1992 27 Possible noise, water pollution worries neighbors MURRAYVILLE - Hazelmere residents are still concerned about a new gravel pit that has gone into operation in the southeast corner of Surrey. Neighbors on the Langley side of the municipal boundary worry about the noise from the machinery at the pit and the possibility that the excavation for gravel will affect water wells in the area. They have also asked that a guarantee in form of a bond provided by Westcoast Aggregates be extended to cover not only the Surrey residents but NDP now blames Ottawa VICTORIA - Faced with the prospect of a provincial deficit fully a billion dollars more than forecast, Finance Minister Glen Clark has announced the first round of budget cuts, and is blaming Ottawa's bad economic predictions for over half the provincial shortfall. The Liberals say the NDP should have had a contingency budget in full anticipation of tax revenue shortfalls, and not be in the position of finding cuts on an ad hoc basis. Liberal leader Gordon Wilson says it is "absolute nonsense" to blame the federal government for B.C.'s budgetary shortfall. CINNAMON: Wallace Gordon, longtime resident of Aldergrove, B.C. Born in 1912 in Moosewa, Alberta. Passed away Nov. 9, 1992 at Langley Memorial Hospital. Predeceased by his parents and 4 brothers. Survived by his loving family in B.C. and Alberta. Memorial service was held at O.A.P. Hall in Aldergrove on Saturday, Nov. 14, 1992. MILLSAP : Mrs. LaVerne Millsap, died at her home on Thursday, November 12, 1992, aged 58 years. She will be sadly missed by her loving family, 3 daughters, Trudy (Greg) McAuley, Tammy (Rudy) Braun of Abbotsford, Traci (Stewart) Angus of Hinton, Alta., 1 son Ray (Audrey) Millsap of Abbotsford; grandchildren, Gerrod, Dustin & Cole McAuley; Taeler & Nash Braun; Brittanee & Alexa Angus; Whittney & Selene Millsap; mother, Helen Sutherland of Grande Prairie, Alta., 11 brothers and sisters and numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives. A Service of Remembrance will be held on November 20, 1992 at 11:00 a.m. from Mt Lehman United Church, 6256 Mt. Lehman Road, Mt. Lehman, with Rev. Wayne Wattman officiating. Henderson's Fraser Valley Funeral Home (854-5534) will be in care of arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations in La Verne's memory made to the Abbotsford-Matsqui Hospice Society would be appreciated. also their Langley neighbors. Brent Graham representing the local ratepayer group was back at Langley council Monday night, telling councilors that he was concerned about a disappearing water table and a piece of machinery that was so noisy that it had been banned from use in France. He asked that the local politicians do something. He told councilors that he had asked to appear as a delegate at a recent meeting of Surrey council but had been refused because the politicians there said they were not about to change their mind about the permit to Westcoast regardless of what he had to say. Mayor John Beales said there was nothing much Langley council could do, but they were scheduled to meet with their Surrey colleagues on Nove'niber 26, and the complaints of Graham's group would then be brought up. Pit reshaped MURRAYVILLE - A land rehabilitation plan will be prepared at a cost of $8,292.50 by Talisman Land Resource Consultants for the new municipal gravel pit at 252 Street and 60 Avenue. Councilors say the reclamation of the land will proceed alongside the removal of gravel. A plan to fence in all gravel pits in the township was referred by councilors to staff for a recommendation. Coun. John Scholtens voted against the proposal. ■ X-mas light fund grows ALDERGROVE - The Chamber of Commerce's Christmas light fund is growing steadily thanks to very generous donations from supporters.
