The Shakespeare romantic comedy classic opens next week (see story, photos, page 6). -Kurt Langmann photo Wife-beater's refugee claim supported by his spouse!^ By MONIQUE GALAZKA VANCOUVER - Immigration Adjudicator Linda Mackie issued a conditional deportation order against convicted criminal Rajwant Brar last Tuesday, and ordered him held in custody pending an application for refugee status. Ron Johnson, Chief of Enforcement for the Immigration Department said it is unlikely Brar will meet the eligibility requirements for refugee status, and very likely that he will be deported next week. Senior Immigration officer Rick McNeill, in his summation for Brar's removal, noted that Brar had been declared a danger to the public in a certificate signed by a delegate from the Minister's office in November 1995. He cited two allegations against Brar, but referred specifically to the case in which Brar pleaded guilty to Aggravated assault and was sentenced to 16 months in jail. McNeill read the report to the crown counsel which graphically describes how Brar used a nylon belt to hang his wife from a bathroom fixture, shoved a broom handle down her throat, and then beat her with it until she lost consciousness. In his summation for Brar's continued detention, McNeill said that, in addition to Brar being a danger to the public, he is not likely to appear for removal if so ordered. He cited an inmate offence report from the Ford Mountain Correctional Centre outlining Brar's November 29 attempted escape. McNeill also referred to the fact that Brar's wife, Alvinder, made declarations last July and October stating that she fears for her life and that of her children. She also had a No Contact Order issued against Brar, which he continually violated by calling her from prison until October, although she testified at the hearing that she is unsure as to the exact dates that the order became effective and expired. She also testified that she no longer fears her husband because he has taken anger management classes and can now control his anger. McNeill questioned how she knows about the anger management classes since she has had no contact with him since October. She replied through an interpreter that the counsellor contacted her and told her the program has a high success rate. Brar's wife further testified that she was 'absolutely not' coerced by Brar, family members or friends to take him back, and said she will fight to bring him back to Canada if he is deported. Mishal Abrahams, legal aid counsel for Brar, countered McNeill's arguments that he is unlikely to show for removal by saying that, if Brar ever wanted to come back to Canada after being deported, he would need permission from the Minister of Immigration. Since his wife has stated that she will help him to return, he is very likely to show for removal, because it would be to his advantage in the long run. Mackie disagreed and ordered Brar kept in custody. New reserve force launched ABBOTSFORD - The Department of National Defence is proceeding with the closure of CFB Chilliwack, but last week's announcement of a new reserve force here, an Airfield Engineer Flight based at the Career Technical Centre, is considered at least a partial answer to local concerns about federal ability to respond to a natural disaster on the coast. National revenue minister David Anderson and Lt.-Col. R.C. Wolowidnyk from Air Command HQ in Westwin. Manitoba, along with Abbotsford's mayor and council, hosted a press conference at Abbotsford Government Building, Friday, to discuss the new contract. Valued at $600,000 over three years, it will create one or two Regular Force Airfield Engineer positions and 64 part-time reserve positions. Wolowidnyk said the flight would start up in April and would take about two years to become fully operational with competently trained reserves in a number of trades. This partnership is the fourth of its type, the first on the west coast, and under its contract terms, the Career Technical Centre will provide the facilities, accommodations and equipment to support the community-based reserve unit. "It will provide a pool of skilled tradespersons in Abbotsford, enhancing Canada's national emergency capabilities," said Anderson. Skills include numerous engineering services such as repairs and construction of airport runways, water, sewer and road systems, as well as detection and disposal of explosives?-The reserves could also be deployed in support of NATO or the UN. Recruitment will begin shortly. WIN TICKETS TO THE '96 MOTORSPORT SHOW ... see inside --- Anderson praised the tender from CTC as "cost-effective" for all parties, and said it would "increase reserves" who would enjoy modest salaries and training that will "have civilian applications too." He added that it was "not designed to replace CFB Chilliwack; that's a different scale... decentralization means we have to maximize military effectiveness." While Abbotsford Air port is obviously eyed as a key base and staging area for disaster response, Anderson said the government would "go in with whatever we've got to support civil power, everything would be thrown into the breech." Wolowidnyk said, "The air force has taken a large cut; this will compensate for the reductions and closures." The other Please see page 2... The Aldergrove STAR Illegitimus non carborundum VOL.38 NO.3 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17.1996 40 CENTS Established 1957 3089 - 272nd Street Fax: 856-5212 Phone: 8564303 "Border station" to expand By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - City council has agreed to allow the expansion of Mike's Esso station on Fraser Highway, subject to conditions. Last week Moshe Paz, owner of the station, appeared before council asking them to amend the restrictive covenant on the property to allow for expansion. Council referred the issue back to staff for further investigation, their main concerns being the disposal of sewage from the station and a number of site improvements that were not done in phase one of the project. After discussions with city staff, Paz has agreed to the conditions, and council passed a motion to allow the expansion, which will include service commercial areas that will be leased. Conditions include having water saving devices installed on all plumbing fixtures, and limiting any single service centre user to two litres of sewage effluent per square metre, per day. Council will also amend the Holding tank bylaw for this development to allow discharge of effluent to other sewage treatment facilities, rather than the JAMES plant, subject to receiving treatment plant receipts. One of Paz's complaints to the city was having to dispose of sewage at the JAMES plant for secondary treatment, as opposed to having it taken to Langley or Richmond for primary treatment, at half the cost. Other conditions include Paz paying all legal costs associated with amending the covenant, and that all deficiencies from phase one be completed by April 30. ALL ABOARD!

LANQLEY - Citizen complaints about suspicious vehicles in their area lead to the arrest of six young offenders and one adult, on Thursday, January 11. Tips also lead to the recovery of four stolen cars. The adult was arrested after fleeing the scene of a commercial burglary, in a stolen car. An alert citizen noted the licence plate number and passed it on to police. After a short chase the car was abandoned and the driver tracked by a police dog and apprehended It was further discovered that the vehicle had been used in another burglary in Surrey. Charges of possession of stolen property are being considered against all involved. More charges in major hash bust VANCOUVER.^ Project Exceed, the RCMP's proceeds of crime investigation that had seized or frozen $28-million in international property including an Aldergrove estate property, has brought charges against another four Vancouver residents and a dozen companies. The case has been described as "the most complex and largest proceeds of crime investigation in Canada," by RCMP S.Sgt. Larry Vander Graaf. Charges of possession of proceeds of crime have now been laid against George Lawrence Burden, Basil John Havelock Rolfe, Ralph Christopher Lanuzel and Richard Glenn Westerop. Six local companies facing charges arc Karden Maritime Inc., 379785 B.C. Ltd. dba.Coastal Forest Products, International Commodity Traders Ltd., 419364 B.C. Ltd., Southhcach Marine and Water- sports Lid., and CarcbTrading Ltd. Five companies in the Bahamas are also facing charges: Canadian Equestrian Properties Ltd., Taipei Trading Corp., South China Seas Trading Corp., Bangkok Development Ltd. and Blinding Light Developments Ltd. The investigation began with a 1992 seizure of $23-million, or six tonnes, in hashish from a Richmond warehouse, and ten officers are still working on the complex case. Four men have already pleaded guilty of related drug trafficking and money laundering charges iu B.C., and the court has sentenced Chris Turner, Robert Anthony Watt, Eric Walter Krenbrink and Kenneth Austin Cowles. The trial of a former Langley private investigator, Lawrence Everett Lightfoot, along with Burden, is currently underway in court. American authorities, who seized assets valued at $150-million internationally in a related case, will be bringing Claude Duboc, currently in custody in Florida, to Vancouver as a wiuiess in Burden's trial.

The Canadian Taxpayers' Federation claims that B.C. provincial and municipal government subsidies totalled $745 -million in 1993, the last year for which the federation had figures. 'This is hypocrisy," the federation's B.C. executive director Troy Lanigan says. - "Our government was on the right track when it attacked federal grant programs like the Western Diversification Fund. For us to be doing the same is just ludicrous." B.C.'s New Democratic government has frequently attacked the federal government's plan to reduce its deficit by cutting social program grants and argued Ottawa should eliminate all its subsidies to business instead. But the NDP government has increased the operating debt from $4.7-billion to $9.7-billion since Armed robber hits haberdasher SURREY - Police are investigating the armed robbery of the Simply Grand clothing store on 152 Street, just before 4:30 p.m, Saturday, January 13. A lone male entered the store with his turtle neck pulled over his nose, and demanded all the cash from the register. He kept one hand in his pocket, but produced no weapon. After receiving a small amount of cash the suspect left the store and was last seen heading east- bound toward 152 Street. The suspect is described as a white male in his mid 20s, six feet tall and about 165 pounds. He has' short reddish brown hair, dark eyes and a fair complexion. He was wearing a dark coloured ball cap, white turtle neck, baggy green sweatshirt, baggy black nylon pants with white diagonal slashes on the bottom, and running shoes. taking office, while apparently making hundreds of millions in grants to businesses. Lanigan said that the provincial government offered 47 support programs for businesses, many of them with subsidies. "B.C. used to be one of the best governments for not giving out subsidies, but lately it has started to grow," said Lanigan. An article appearing in the federation's monthly newsletter, based on Statistics Canada data, shows B.C.'s subsidies to businesses trailing those of Ontario, Quebec and Alberta but far ahead of the other provinces. As well, it shows the total subsidy growing from $615-million in 1991, the last year of Social Credit rule. THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JANUARY 17, f 996 Mounties fear serial killers at work in BC UCFV parking woes lack solution; ALR exclusion effort continues By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - A delegation of citizens living around the University College of the Fraser Valley did not appear before council as planned, but did submit a petition, a list of concerns about the traffic and parking in the area, and a letter from a local realtor indicating how the overcrowding and illegal parking are major deterrents to anyone buying or selling a property in the area. Residents are concerned about the more than 1200 vehicles using the roadways surrounding the college on school days. They say that the overcrowded streets and park- Rock says he will crack down on pimps OTTAWA - Federal Justice Minister Allan Rock has introduced new legislation to crack down on pimps, men who stalk women and people who mutilate female genitals. There is nothing in the bill about people who mutilate male genitals. The bill won't be presented for debate until Parliament resumes next month. Rock has proposed a minimum five years in prison for anyone convicted of profiting from prostitutes under the age of 18. He also plans to change the criminal code to make it easier for police to trap pimps who recruit young girls and boys and measures to protect prostitutes who are willing to testify against pimps. ing conditions are dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. They recommend that McKenzie road be widened to provide safer parking, a sidewalk be installed so people don't have to walk on the road, that illegally parked cars be ticketed, and that the city and the university consult with authorities to have some UCFV land released from the Agricultural Land Reserve for parking purposes. Another major concern for residents is the speeding on King Road. Also, residents exiting Kingsview Estates or King Crescent onto King Road have their view obstructed by improperly parked cars, and must move into the intersection to check for oncoming traffic. Suggestions include reactivating the four way stop or installing a traffic signal at King and McKenzie, and controlling speed on King Road. Council discussed the issue without coming up with any concrete ideas, other than to have staff look into the situation and report back next week. VANCOUVER - As many as six serial killers may be preying on people in British Columbia, RCMP spokesman Peter Montague says. He says computer analysis by the Serious Crime Unit in Vancouver shows the killers could account for some, of the 280 unsolved murders in provincial police jurisdictions. "There is a suggestion there could be as many as six," Montague says. "Some may already be in custody." He says the 280 unsolved murders date back as far as the 1950s, but most have been committed since the late 1970s. There was a dramatic increase in the B.C. murder rate four years ago. Up until 1991, the province averaged 34 murders a year but the rate jumped to 84 in 1992, 83 in 1993 and 84 in 1994 and by the end of October 1995 the number had already hit 85. Montague says about 65 percent of murder cases in British Columbia are solved, compared with a national average of 76 percent. He blames the lower rate here on a shortage of officers. "Most murders can be solved if we can get into the scene within 48 hours," Montague says. "If tlie serious crime unit can get out onto a murder right away, they normally have a 100 percent solve rate." Martin promises deficit fight OTTAWA - Finance Minister Paul Martin has renewed his attack against the federal deficit by announcing plans to slash it even further to $17-billion in two years. Martin has told the Commons finance committee that "Canada is not out of the woods yet.' He says jobs and overall growth depend on the government's ability to control the bottom line. Job growth in Canada dropped last November and that demonstrates "we can not let up," Martin said in an annual pre-budget briefing on government spending. "Our fundamental problem remains a debt that is growing faster than our economy." Martin said the federal government will meet its goal of cutting the deficit in 19% to $25-billion, or three percent of total economic output. The total overall debt is now roughly $580-billion. Martin argued against Reform Party calls to bring in a zero deficit by 1997, saying it would be too hard on the economy and the jobless. "Hard fiscal times require hard choices. A zero deficit? Yes, that will be achieved. But we simply refuse to get there by leaving Canadians behind." We Serve ALDERGROVE LIONS CLUB Proudly serving our communities' needs for 25 years, 1970 to 1995.

It's a job most party faithfuls don t seem to want the leadership of the provincial New Democratic Party. There are plenty of perks that come with the position. Besides a big salary, the new leader also gets to be premier of the province, albeit only for a few months. Before November, the NDP government must call an election - an election it wilj no doubt lose badly. Who, except a political unknown you would think, would be willing to suffer the humiliation of leading the government to an embarrassing defeat? Not Labor Minister Dan Miller. Not Kamloops MP Nelson Riis. Not Environment Minister Moe Sihota: Certainly not Burnaby MP Svend Robinson. Not Forests Minister Andrew Petter nor Finance Minister Elizabeth Cull (citing family reasons). They have all declared that they are not interested in the job. Now, finally, Employment and Investment Minister Glen Clark steps to the forefront, and it is not surprising that hardly anyone else wants the job. You wonder, in fact, if Clark was "volunteered" for the position by his fellow caucus members. The first declared candidate is a community activist from Port Alberni, Jack McDonald. He earns his keep as an undertaker. Is this an omen that the party's reelection hopes are moribund?

Is clgan air killing crops? By FRANK OGDEN VANCOUVER - One word that will continuously pop up more frequently in the future is "paradox", defined as "a statement contrary to common belief, one that seems contradictory, unbelievable, absurd but that may actually be true in fact" There is currendy a big drive around the world to clean up the planet's air. . Industrialized countries have jumped in with strict regulations. The United Nations have passed environmental directives saying we must do this - and fast. But has anyone considered the " long-term effects? Apparently not. Remember Tlie Law of Unin - tended Results: Any law, rule, regulation or sanction conceived with industrial age thinking reverses itself in a communica - tions age environment. In our self-righteous rush we have not taken into consideration what else we are taking out in such single-minded efforts to clean the air. Many energy-creating power plants use coal, originally much of it with high sulphur content. Now they are using better grades of coal containing less sulphur and haVe restructured boilers and generators to "scrub out" offending elements from their chimneys that created acid rain. Many installed precipitators that "dropped" the sulphur which has then been refined and resold. This started to clean things up in Europe. In 1985, several European countries started lo cut back sulphur emissions by 30 percent. Some produced even cleaner air than promised. Politics helped too. When the two Germanys united, those old, dirty, inefficient and obsolete factories east of the now nonexistent Berlin; Waih$vhich had been responsible for a third of the problem, were closetT Result? Plants are now dying throughout northern Europe for lack of sulphur. So say German scientists. Seems that although plants weren't crazy over acid rain, they were using the sulphur it contained. Without it new problems. Today just 10 kilograms of sulphur per hectare falls on those While visiting Frankfurt earlier this year I verified this information. The air had improved since my last visit. Next month I will inspect fields in rural regions. Studies show that 25 years ago around 50 kilograms of sulphur per hectare fell on the same fields. Now just 10. That's the same figure reported from 1890. Trees once being killed, reportedly, by acid rain are still dying? Other crops are suffering decreas- ing yields and new diseases. ■ Why? . *m Rapeseed (canola) is among those hardest hit Ewald Schnug of the Institute of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science in Braunschweig, Germany says it is due to sulphur deficiency. Richard Mithen of the John Innes Agricultural Research Institute in Norwich, England-concurs that diminishing rapeseed yield "is linked to lesfs sulphur emissions from power plants." Even the bees appear affected. The leaves of canola plants receiving insufficient sulphur (it almost acts like a vitamin) yellow and thicken. Flowers fade and fail to attract bees so fertilization levels drop. Fungal disease common to canola have already spread from Great Britain to Germany as British levels too drop to those of the last century. A whole complicated chain of events happen when nature's formulas are changed. Researcher Schnug says that "losses of 90 percent, virtually the whole crop, can be attributed to sulphur deficient in some places." We cut out sulphur to prevent acid rain but that weakens plants and limits growth. It also appears to allow low level ozone to accu- mulate as plants do not give off hydrogen sulphide and other compounds that previously counteracted ozone invasion. With less sulphur each year in the soil, grain crops will be affected. When Schnug added sulphur to wheat and barley, yields in northeast Germany jumped 20 percent There are no simple answers. Everything is becoming more complex. We must study the unknown and in unconventional ways. Our contemporary standardized indus- I WORRIED ABOUT JOB SECURITY! SO I QUIT!

You are right on. Township officials have their own 'spin' on the B.C. Supreme Court decision' regarding the IRGO Golf sign in Aldergrove. Mr. Godfrey's statement, quoted accurately, is quite false. He has first hand knowledge, so it may have been knowingly false. Hence the 'spin' tends to have a connotation or reality of contrivance. The facts simply are: 1) Mister Justice Tysoe on November 10, 1995 adjourned 'sine die' the petition by the Township to get an interlocutory injunction to legally force the Aldergrove business respondents, I.R.G.O. Golf, to take their signage down. 2) Mister Justice Tysoe, with no stretch or 'spin' on the facts, did not order the respondent Aldergrove business to remove the sign. 3) Mister Justice Tysoe gave the Aldergrove business respondent, I.R.G.O. Golf, the opportunity to make its rightful application for signage within fourteen working days of November 10, 1995, the date of the hearing. Failing to do so, the petitioner, Township, would have leave to again make a new application to the B.C. Supreme Court to serve their ends and objectives. There was never any, nor is there any, consideration or potential of any 'contempt of court' as Mr. Godfrey falsely portrays. There was no 'order' as alleged.| These are the facts, pure and 'simple. It might be of interest that the Township's written complaint against this sign is that its colour (spectral primary green and yellow), its location (between the canopies where it was designed approved. There is an application by this small business in process. Citizens, especially business operators, occasionally feel underserved and uninformed by bureaucrats whom we fully pay with our tax dollars, hi other words they work for us and not vice versa. It is strange that the Township might spend tens of thousands of dollars on legal actions against constituents, when there are clear alternatives to this litigious attitude, and at the same time might not be able to spend but a moment seeking answers to questions from the employing taxpayer and its responsible local newspaper. It may even seem a litde unfair that the civil servants have not even taken time to come to see the local merchants direcUy, as their time is paid for by the downtown core business. They can legislate but without effective representation. It is easier to not directly speak one-on-one to the very small number of local businesses than it is to do so. Possibly we should not expect so much! We small independent business operators, who employ eighty per cent of all Canadians, often feel alone in our feelings. We feel isolated and powerless against the bureaucracy, against our own elected and appointed government. We even occasionally feel it is us against them. They with their indexed pensions; we with none. Were we to talk more among ourselves, we would find that we are not alone. We would find that our concern for more sincere attention, understanding and support for our tax dollars is unifonn and common. We need business freedom so we can evolve with our own 'spin' on our own investments. Its reasonable.

I am not talking here about the doom and gloom theories of the global warming people. (I was up in Fort St. John recendy, and it was thirty-five below. Don't talk to those people about global warming.) Nor am I talking about the millennial theories of some Christian denominations; the year 2000 is a nice round number, but so was the year 1000, and we skipped past that one.

No, I'm talking about the strangely- prescient prophecies of Mother Shipton, according to whom We are all living on borrowed time. Mother Shipton was a Yorkshire sage who flourished towards the end of Uie seventeenth cenniry in die small town of Knaresbor- ough.

Aeroplanes, radio and submarines... not bad for the sixteen hundreds. I sure breathed a sigh of relief on January 1, 1992, anyway. But was she just hung up on finding a good rhyme for 'come'? I mean, over three centuries, what's a few years? Let's see, 'The end of the world will be, in nineteen hundred and ninety three', would have worked. So would 'The world will end for sure, in nineteen hundred and ninety four'. But we're past that already. Or did she mean: The world will be in a terrible fix, In nineteen hundred and ninety six And just a few years late, Will come to an end in ninety eight...? We shall see. Meanwhile, I'm keeping up my life insurance payments, contributing to the RRSP and hoping to see the new millennium in. But as for the New Year's Resolutions, heck, why give yourself the grief and the guilt? The prophetess has rightly said, In a year, we might all be dead.

JANUARY 17.1996 The entire cast, director and technical staff of A Midsummer Night's Dream are ready for the crowds. -Kurt Langmann photos "Dream" of a play makes contemporary connection with truly timeless tale of love gone wrong ALDERGROVE - The Black Light Theatre Company at the Community Secondary School opens this season with their annual Shakespeare production, next week. The fantasy comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream has been adapted by director David Young for a 90-minute long production that is sure to delight all ages. "Despite being four centuries old, this play is surprisingly relevant to modern times and easy to follow along with as far as ideas, concepts and humour," said Young. "It was originally over a three hour production that has been trimmed down. The costume concept is of a modern style whose costumes are more vindictive of the characters than would be the original Elizabethan dress. Thanks to an all star tech crew, On golden pond SURREY - Litde Theatre presents On Golden Pond from Feb. 15 to March 9 at their cozy venue, 7027 - 184 Street. Performances are Thursdays to Saturdays and tickets are $10, or $8 for student or senior. For reservations call 574-7873 or 882-1375. the room has been transformed into a combination between forest, ancient/modern Athens, the fairy world, all topped off with a celestial ceiling studded with stars and planets. Upon sitting down the audience is made to feel as if they are actually part of the production, rather flan a viewer." A Midsummer Night's Dream is a funny telling of three different worlds colliding, and interfering with each other. Four lovers,, dependent on the decisions of the Duke and his fiance, are interrupted when fairies sprinkle fairy dust in the eyes of lovers, making them fall in love with the first thing they see. The fairies commit errors wliich cause hilarious mis- communications between the mortals. The play was also a successful Hollywood film, which starred a young Mickey Rooney as the mischievous fairy, Puck. Young said fans of the movie will not be disappointed with the students' version of the script, which also keeps the Bard's language intact. Performances are set for the evenings of Jan. 24, 25, 26, 31,- Feb. 1 and 2. Curtain is 7:30 p.m. and admission is $8, or $6 for student or senior. Matinee performances are on Jan. 23, 25 and 31, with curtain at 12:30 p.m. and tickets $4 senior or $3 student. For information and reservations call the school, 856-2521. Justice Way has its day in court of opinion By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - City council narrowly voted to change the name of Park Street, home of the police station, and the nameless road connecting the street to South Fraser Way, which borders the Centennial Auditorium, to Justice Way. In keeping with policy, property owners along Park Street were notified of the change and invited to an information session held earlier this month. Of the seven people living on the street, only one attended the meeting, although the city did receive one letter and one phone call. Councillor Mark Warawa supported the idea of changing the name to Government Street, because he opposed the idea of the police station being on Justice Way. Councillor Simon Gibson agreed saying that Justice Way sounds 'rather ominous.' Councillor Wendy Lee countered the argument and said that every municipality has a Government Street, and Abbotsford should try to be different . Opposed to renaming Park Street Justice Way were Councillors Warawa, Gibson and Ken Funk. Oldest news A copy has survived of a news pamphlet published in Cologne, Germany in 1470.

Basics of B&B covered in course ALDERGROVE - Imagine not being able to move a single muscle. There are many people who can't. With the help of generous and supportive donations during the Kinsmen Mothers' March, January 15-31, the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation can help those with physical disabilities "Know No Limits". Those clients helped by the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation include those diagnosed as quadriplegic - paralyzed from the neck down - with little or no control of their hands. Or they may have been born with severe cerebral palsy, or suffer from devas tating weakness caused by muscular dystrophy. They may combat neurological.disorders such as Lou Gehrig's disease, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease. Some have suffered strokes. It's hard to imagine not being able to do the usual things most people take for granted: things like turning on lights, operating a stereo, turning the pages of a book, or answering the phone. The Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation offers programs and services at no cost to many of the 370,000 British Columbians living with disabilities, the only organization in the province to do so. "We need the public's support to help these courageous people who are constantly working to Know No Limits. Our valiant and valuable volunteers will Know No Limits and in some parts of the province defy winter weather to call on their neighbours throughout B.C. from January 15-31 to help collect our much needed funds," says Andy Danyliu, CEO of the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation. "We encourage all communities in British Columbia to "Know No Limits" and give generously." ABBOTSFORD - The hospitality industry is flourishing in the Fraser Valley. One rapidly growing facet of the industry is the bed and breakfast operation. Kimberley Chikites, founder of the Abbotsford and Fraser Valley Bed and Breakfast Association, says that every bed and breakfast business in the association was fully booked all summer long, Chikites, who runs a successful year-round bed and breakfast, will teach a workshop on starting and running a bed and breakfast operation. The workshop, entided Bed and Breakfast - The ABCs of B&B, will be held at the University College of the Fraser Valley in Mission on January 27, Chilli wack on February 17, Hope on March 9, and Abbotsford on March 23. The workshops run from 9 am to 4 pm. The fee of $75 includes a 100-page course book with details on everything you need to know to start and run your own bed and breakfast. "There's a real need for more bed and breakfast places throughout the Fraser Valley," said Chikites. "That's why we're offering the course at so many locations. We had to tura so many people away last summer. For more information on Bed and Breakfast - The ABCs of B&B, contact your nearest UCFV centre. Six who 'know no limits' VANCOUVER - Six B.C. youths have been awarded the first annual "Know No Limits" youth awards by the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation, chosen from hundreds of deserving applicants which impressed the KRF board. "We consider every young person nominated a winner," said spokesman Andy Danyliu. 'The stories and testimonies regarding the determination and strength of character of each of the nominees has been truly inspiring." The winners, aged 13 to 18, include Simon Ibell of Victoria in the courage category, Alim Jiwa of North Vancouver in the entre- preneurship and innovation category, Kate Kanakoglou in the creative arts, Chris McKibbin of Nelson in the community service category, Carrie Paquette of the Saulteau First Nations in the environment category, and Scott Simms of New Hazelton in the sportsmanship category.

Last November she had an appointment with her doctor for a physical exam. She duly had a bath and sprayed herself with what she took to be ladies deodorant, which she keeps under the bathroom sink. During the exam, and even afterwards, the doctor had this peculiar expression on his face and couldn't stop laughing. My mother went home wondering what on earth he had been so hysterical about. She undressed and looked at herself in the mirror. To her horror she noticed that her nether regions were purple with little dashes of gold glitter. When she looked in the bottom of her bathroom cupboard, she discovered some purple spray paint (with gold sparkles) had been left there by my son to spray his hair, when he dressed for Hallow'een. Well, we had a good laugh, but my mother is thinking of changing doctors. Do you think she should? Signed: No name please. Dear No name, Of course your mother shouldn't change doctors. She should just tell him what happened, and they can both laugh together. He may suggest to your mother that she needs to see an eye doctor! Funny story though; thanks for sharing. Dear Annebelle, With a provincial election coming up soon, I'm wondering once again why anyone who is not independently wealthy, a successful -industrialist or a professional earning at least $75,000 a year would vote for Gordon Campbell's outfit or any other far- rightiwing party. I'm not a rabid socialist, but I know Campbell and his ragtag band of disinterred Socreds and Tories have one main goal: to make themselves and their rich pals richer at the expense of everybody else. That means the great majority of British Columbians, in the middle and low income categories, will be squeezed to benefit the upper- level minority. So why on earth would anyone in that middle to low income area even consider voting for the Campbell Cutthroats? They would have to be dim enough to believe all that twaddle about giving bundles of money to the business tycoons, who will then expand their enterprises and employ more members of the low income mob. What nonsense! A glance at our biggest trade - the timber trade - shows that excess profit goes to step up automation and mechanization programs, which leads to cutbacks in employment and fatter profits for directors and shareholders. I hope one of your readers can tell me why he would vote for the privilege of helping to line Mr. Teaching the 3R's LANGLEY - On February 8, noted educator and author Samuel Blumenfeld gives a practical workshoj) for homeschoolers and educators on "Teaching the Three-R' s" and an evening lecture on "How the Government got involved in Education" at the Eyas's Centre at 19533-64 Avenue.

Dear Annabelle., With a provincial election coming up soon, I'm wondering once again why anyone, who's not dependent!y building Island highways, a successful committee appointee or a professional earning at least $75,000 a year, would vote for Glen Clark or any other far-out-there party. I'm not a rabid capitalist, but I know that Clark and his tuxedoed band of disinterested pseudo-leftist-intellectuals have one main goal: to make themselves and their rich pals richer at the expense of everybody else, even if it means stealing blankets from babies and "challenged" persons with charity bingo licences. I don't think we should reward incompetence and lies with a second term. Just sign me: FROM NANAIMO. By SCOTT T. TAYLOR and DIANA M. CHARLESTON She was desperate. In the background I could hear the sounds of a crying child. Time was running out. Any moment, her husband would be returning, drunk and furious. She knew his moods. They had to get away, but there was no way out and no place to go- The move from die east coast was not her idea, but she followed along for the sake of the child. She had hoped that the change in scenery would make him happier. And there were the promises. He had promised to stop drinking. He had promised to find work. He had promised to get help. He had promised never to hit her again. False hopes and false promises. Things had started out so differently. A friend had introduced them at a bar. It was true love at first sight. She thought he would be happy when she told him that she was pregnant. But things soon started to fall apart. It was the first time that he hit her. He aimed the blow at her stomach. She was in such pain, lhat she was terrified that she would miscarry. She was wrong. The baby arrived prematurely, and he was jealous of the time she spent with it. He drank more heavily. He often stayed out late without explanation. He seemed so angry all the time. The abuse got worse. It wasn't so much the physical abuse which bothered her; the bruises and broken bones healed. It was the constant cruel remarks about her weight, her looks, her value as a mother, her inadequacies. She knew she was responsible for his anger. If she only tried harder as a wife and a mother, he would change. She quit work at his demand, to spend more time with him and the child. Her dreams of finishing school ended when he told her that she was too stupid. He told her that she needed him and would never go anywhere or be anything without him. She believed him. She has no friends or family to call. She doesn't feel that anyone would want to be her friend. He ridicules anyone she had ever invited over. He is suspicious of any contact with a man. He takes the family car to work. He some times takes the cordless phone to work to prevent her from making calls. She feels so alone. Except today he was too angry to remember to take the phone. This is her chance, maybe her last - chance. She knows inside that she can't take it any longer. The child deserves better. The last time she was assaulted, the police gave her the number of a local transition house. She kept the number hidden, until now. I told her that we could provide safety for her and the child. I told her to leave the residence immediately. What you've just read is a typical scenario heard by transition staff far too frequently. If you identify with this woman, or know someone who does, you can get help. Check with police, victim services, clergy, physicians, crisis line, or your telephone book for phone numbers. Remember there are resources to help. There are people who care.

SFiV/ORS NFWS Time is marching on with '96 By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Time is marching on in 1996. There's the old after Christmas blues to contend with, but a sure cure foe that is a Caribbean trip. Now Valentine's is fast approaching, and I actually know someone who wants to be Cupid's assistant and has the bow and arrow sharpened, ready to strike and not so far from home either. Watch these matchmakers. As for me, I'm a Bobby Burns person, who thrives on haggis and neeps. Thursday was partnership night at Bridge. First prize went to Mary Harwood and Emily Bol- lund with a score of 5400. Sheila and John McDougall came second with 4690. Third prize went to Stella and Stan St. Jean with a score of 4580. Frank and Inez Steiner came in fourth with 4510, and Muriel and John Arnason were fifth with 4490. The draw was won by Elsie Gray. The Choral Group met Friday morning for practice with only three missing. Quite a number brought a bag lunch and stayed to visit and socialize. Fifteen were out to carpet bowl last Thursday. It was a good afternoon, but I can't brag; our team didn't do too well, but that's what it's all about, you loose some and win some. Come on out Thursday at 1:30 pm and give it a try. Last Wednesday's dance had a good crowd for mid-week, about forty five. The Valley Ramblers played for both Wednesday's and Saturday's 'dances. The Spot dance went to Marguerite Charles and Dick Lockhart. 50-50 winners were Roger Edwards, Marguerite Charles, Pat Sorokcn, and Pat Soroken a second time, Helen Souther and George Yusko. Ed and Lorna Krause from Kelowna were visitors to the dance, also Mary Siertin from Abbotsford. There was one of the largest crowds for the Saturday dance, ninety five came to enjoy a great time. Door prizes were won by Henry Hildebrand and Georgina Onstine. There were eight winners for the 50-50 draw. Les Watchman, Bertha Uren, Les Le Maine, George Yusko, Evelyn Janis, Lorraine Shmunk, Al Lane and Barbara Lane. This week the Abbey Old Timers will provide the music. Spot dances were won by Audrey Faulkes and Ken Lauder- milk, and Jean La Visseur and Clare Wolchuk. Dick Lockhart's birthday was celebrated.

Protection of Aquatic and Riparian Habitat by Local Governments: An Inventory of Measures Adopted in the Lower Fraser Valley, 1995 shows that in the past decade, the local governments have made some progress in protecting stream environments. Half of the local governments reported they had initiatives or bylaws related to habitat identification, protection, acquisition and management In addition, most said they had at least partially addressed aquatic habitat needs in their stormwater management programs and requirements for erosion and sediment control. The inventory also suggests ways to improve stream stewardship and strengthen partnerships between local governments and environmental agencies. The report was produced by DFO, under the Fraser River Action Plan, with additional funding from Environment Canada. FRAP is a federal initiative to improve the environmental health of tlie Fraser Basin and rebuild its salmon populations. The document contributes to the Stream Stewardship series promoted by. the Fraser River Action Plan to encourage senior and local governments to work cooperatively to protect streams in urban areas. The study area extends from the mouth of the Fraser River upstream to Hope and the North Shore mountains south to die U.S. border, an area that encompassed 25 municipalities and four regional governments at the time of the study. By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council has voted to adopt Policy no. 202.7 Confidentiality of Complainants, the purpose of which is to stipulate the circumstances when the identities of complainants will be kept confidential. It had been policy of the previous councils of Abbotsford and Matsqui not to revc.il identities of complainants, and the new city has kept this policy. However the Information and Privacy Commissioner of B.C. can, upon completion of enquiry, order council to give an applicant access to all or part of a record, or face a $5,000 fine. For this reason the commissioner, in his 1995 orders, said that complaint-handling policies should be in writing, with attention to the provisions of the Freedom of information and Protection of Privacy Act. He also rec ommended that the policy include a standard process for the confidentiality of responses to complaints. The adopted policy includes refusing to disclose personal infomiation to an applicant if the disclosure would be an unreasonable invasion of the third party's personal privacy. To determine whether disclosure is an unreasonable invasion, council, as Head of the bylaw, must consider all relevant circumstances including: if the personal information is relevant to a fair determination of the applicant's rights; if the third party will be exposed unfairly to financial or other harm; and if the personal information is likely to be inaccurate or unreliable. A disclosure is automatically assumed to be an unreasonable invasion of a third party's personal privacy if: the information relates to medical or psychiatric history; the information was compiled and is identifiable as part of an investigation into a possible violation of the law, except to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prosecute the violation or to continue the investigation; the information relates to employment, occupational or educational history; the information describes the third party's finances, income, bank balances or credit worthiness; or the information consists of a third party's name, address, or telephone number, and is to be used for mailing 'lists or solicitations by telephone or other means. A disclosure of personal information is not an unreasonable invasion of a third party's personal privacy if: the third party has iu writing consented or requested the disclosure; an enactment of B.C. or Canada authorizes the disclosure; the disclosure is for a research or statistical purpose and is in accordance with section 35 of the Freedom of Information Act; or the information is about the third party's position, functions or remuneration as an officer, employee or member of the City of Abbotsford. On refusing to disclose information supplied in confidence about an applicant, under section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act, council must give the applicant a summary of the information, unless it cannot be prepared without disclosing the identity of the third party who supplied personal information. Councillors deemed the the policy was necessary and appropriate, and indicated that it is not a major change from the existing practice. Deputy city clerk Toireasa Strong said that the legislation is two pronged; the availability of information to the public and the protection of personal privacy.

CHILLIWACK - The second production of the University College of the Fraser Valley Theatre Department's 1995/96 season of theatre is Canadian playwright Raymond Storey's evocative drama The Glorious 12th. The play is set in Ontario in 1927 during a turbulent period in Canadian history. The House of Commons was now officially bilingual; and refugees from continental Europe fled to share in our prosperity. The story of this play is fiction but its historical background is not. Opportunistic Klu Klux Klansmen crossed our border to prey on the fears of our citizens; the cross burnings in Kingston occurred. The debate and hate mongering are documented. There are chilling parallels in this play to recent events here in the Fraser Valley. First year acting instructor Lynne Wells will direct The Glorious 12th. Wells has assembled a talented cast of performers comprised of UCFV theatre students and community performers for this production. Casting is as foi- lows: the role of George (Dad) MacKay, the patriarch of the MacKay family is played by theatre student James Servizi, who can be remembered for his performance as Canon Chasuble in last season's hit production of The Importance of Being Ernest. His son Dalziel will be played by theatre student Sheldon Jeans, making his debut for the department Beethoven lives in Fort Langley FORT LANGLEY - To help us get over the winter blahs and to celebrate Ludwig's van Beethoven's 226th year, the Fort Festival Society is presenting Festival Fridays over the coming months. The popular Lyre of Langley will perform the Beethoven Trios in its entirety during three of these evenings, a first locally. All concerts will take place at the Fort Langley Evangelical Church on Glover Road. The composer's Trios will be featured on Jan. 19, March 1, and March' 29, featuring violinist Angela Cavadas, pianist Leslie Janos and cellist Ian Hampton, and are not to be missed. Beethoven composed the Trios for special people of his time, aristocratic patrons such as nine year old Maximiliane Brentano, and are interesting and exciting for the listener while also extremely challenging for the performers. Cavadas, Janos and Hampton formed the Lyre of Langley in 1990 at Langley Community Music School, and all three are esteemed and much sought after performers, with many credits to their names. Hampton is a founding member of the world famous Academy of St. Martins in the Showboat is cleaning up VANCOUVER - A new block of tickets for Livent Inc.'s 1995 Tony Award-winning production of Jerome Kerns's epic musical, Show Boat, went on sale January 15, extending the booking period for tickets until June 30.

By KURT LANGMANN VANCOUVER - There is nothing more devastating than to have your source of livelihood stolen from wider you, and lower mainland musicians are banding together to fight theft as well as raise funds for one of their own in a Public Awareness Benefit set for Sunday, Jan. 21 and 28 at Richard's on Richards. Session guitarist and producer Andreas Schuld was working out of town when his recording studio was robbed of $30,000 in equipment and instruments, Dec. 16. Even his Christmas presents for his daughter were slashed open and stolen, in the theft which crippled Schuld's ability to make a living. "Our goal is not just to help Andreas recoup his losses," said co-organizer Catherine St. Germain. "Our goal is to send a strong message to musicians, to pay attention to where you buy your gear from. If someone is offering you a deal that seems too good to be true, then it probably is stolen gear that may belong to one of your friends." "If the public is made aware of who tlie reputable and co-operative pawnshops are, the thieves will have a difficult time unloading stolen goods," said musician Shawn Soucy, who also promotes the work of such organizations as Blockwatch. "Get to know your neighbours." Country-roots musicians featured on Jan. 21 are Curtis Blayne, Farmer's Daughter, Gary Fjellgaard, One Horse Blue, Catherine St. Germain, Sandy Scofield, ancf^Xe'ro Zero with Schuld. On the 28th, it's R&B notables like Joani Bye, Sue Leonard, Mike Jacobs Band, PMS, Lori Paul, Hans Staymer and Kenny Wayne. Start times are 7 p.m. and admission is $10 at the door. *** The Arrogant Worms are international now, with their ode to vegetable-rights, Carrot Juice Is Murder being 1995's most requested song on the internationally syndicated Dr. Demento Show. The musical comedy trio, based at Kingston's Queen's University, were the hit of both the 1994 and 1995 Mission Folk Festival, and evidently are now more popular in the U.S. than Weird Al Yankovic, Adam Sandler and Todd Snider. They're taking their wild and crazy humour to showcases in Washington D.C. and Florida next month, including the Olympic Arts program and new Disney Institute. Carrot Juice Is Murder is from their second album, Russell's Shorts, and the third, C'est Cheese was released in October, 1995. *** The Commodore Ballroom remains closed this month while the sprung dance floor is replaced, and owner Drew Burns is apparently seeking retirement after almost 30 years -- the famed venue is up for sale. I've been a fond supporter since Captain Becfheart's show there in March 1973 — evidently the room's first rock show — and the list of talent that's graced the Commodore in its 66 years is almost endless. All the big swing bands, blues stars and more have fond memories, too. It re-opens on Jan. 25 with alternative rockers Blur, followed the next night by Pavement. CFOX will also be selling chunks of the old floor as souvenirs, to raise money for B.C. Children's Hospital, and I'd sure like a piece of that "rock." *** Upcoming concerts include at the Commodore: Blue Oyster Cult on Feb. 3, NOFX on Feb. 4, Lisa Loeb on Feb. 5, Colin James on Feb. 16, Queen Ida on Feb. 17 and Ziggy Marley on Feb. 18.

Zimbabwe's exciting answer to Ladysmith Black Mam- bazo, Black Umfolosi are an eight man group who perfomi a powerful mix of traditional Zulu war dances and haunting "imbube" songs from Southern Africa. Black Umfolosi's traditional war dances are dazzling - shields, spears and stamping feet all flying to the insistent rhythms of drums and chants. The energetic frenzy of the dances contrasts with the serene beauty of their a cappella singing.

Toot, toot: The little trains that really could By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Many people get tears in their eyes when they hear a "train song" about the good old days of steam and rail, but there's a local club that's found their own way to indulge in nostalgia. They build their own, working scale models of classic train engines and cars, and so they can ride them, they've built their own railway too. It might be difficult to imagine a train the size of a lunchbucket, with a glorious half-horsepower engine, hauling up to ten people. They can and do, although the track is elevated 18 inches so that passenger legs can hang over the sides. Aldergrove Model Engineers held their grand opening on Oct. 14, with model engineers from all over the province attending — including a surprise visit from mayor John and Fanny Scholtens, who dropped in wondering what all the fuss was about. The local club is an offshoot of the B.C. Society of Model Engineers, who recently moved from Burnaby's Heritage Village to a five-acre site on a former landfill in Vancouver, Confederation Park. The provincial club is successful, but it's also a victim of its own success — it's become too commercial and bureaucratic for some members. The Aldergrove club members aren't interested in opening their facility to the public, and they aren't desiring growth of their dozen or so mem-, bcrship list either. Hosting the public means insurance and liability problems to start with, as the Confederation Park facility pays hefty insurance premiums with a large deductible, mostly because of a general litigious attitude and a number of "nuisance" suits. Vandals recently set fire to a 100 foot fibreglass tunnel, despite an on-site caretaker's presence. The club has had to improve security for their 5,000 feet of track, with another 5,000 feet still under con- stniction. However, the biggest problem with crowds is that the model engineers are diverted from having their own fun with their hobby. "Dealing with the public can be taxing for members," said Brain DeRuiter. "Repairs can be quite an ordeal, because while they are accurate scale copies of engines, they're not built to take the strain of operating 40 hours a week. It wears them out too quickly." Bram and brother. Alec have been members of the B.C. society since 1974, have built a scale working "steam donkey" and are working on a pair of more conventional style steam engines. The brothers have had a passion for model building that dates back to their youth in Holland and America, and which has continued since they moved to Canada in 1967. It started with the usual hobby plastic model kits, from which they graduated to building working models of ships and planes. "We still enjoy the boats -- electric powered tugs and tankers and such — but the planes were too heartbreaking," said Alec. "We'd spend all the time and money on beautiful planes, only to see them crash into bits all too often. The boats can malfunction too, but at least they don't sink when the radio-control goes haywire." The Aldergrove club is laid- back and undemanding of time — and as Bram pointed out, an Aldergrove-size village in England would have at least four railway lines for enthusiasts. The hobby has its roots in England: "The trains had to be small enough for the builder to carry or take on the bus. It started in the '20s when monthly magazines would serialize construction from start to finish. There's tens of thousands of them built that are still around," said Bram. Three standard scales are 3/4", 1" and 1.5" for every foot of real train, with gauges ranging from 3.5" and 5" to 7.5 ". The Aldergrove club concentrates on the two smaller scales. "The B.C. society has 200 members, but only six are builders," observed Bram. "When you get too big it's like politics. Here nobody gives orders and members are model builders only — and we don't want to start an apprenticeship program either. It takes a long time, about a year uf fulltime hours to complete one, most people take at least five years of parttime effort and you can imagine there's many who never finish it. It's probably ruined more marriages, because of all the time they can take away from the other jobs you have to do." The Aldergrove club members currently boast three working engines, but there'll be a few more ready by summer. While kit parts are available, many builders start from scratch, machining foundry castings into wheels and cylinders or beating copper plates into boilers. "The models are duplicates of the real thing, down to pumps and injectors, everything," said Alec. The Aldergrove club members are quite active with the provincial society, however, as Vancouver is hoping to host the International Brotherhood of Live Steamers annual convention at Confederation Park in the year 2000. "It's usually held in Los Angeles' Griffiths Park," said Bram, "and they have about 200 engines. The hobby is very popular in America, and there's quite a lot of interest here in B.C., probably because many people here have roots back in England." Readers interested in the provincial organization and its events can call 291-0922. Steaming bay activity readies for the track.

Consumers look to financial planners to provide objective, knowledgeable advice about managing an important aspect of their lives: their assets. Because the field is largely unregulated, however, the title "financial planner" does not guarantee any level of qualifications or expertise. Warns Valerie MacLean, Better Business Bureau general manager, "Consumers need to exercise caution when choosing someone with whom to entrust financial resources."

Ask for the names of recent clients and exam- ples of plans and monitoring reports. Does the planner keep current on financial matters through continuing education and training? Also ask how tlie financial planner expects to be compensated (e.g., fees, commissions, or a combination of the two) and get a written estimate of the cost for services. Remember, a good financial planner should help you get a clear picture of your financial situation and lay die foundation for future investment decisions, j Avoid planners who use high- pressure sales tactics or promise unusually high rates of return on investments. Be on guard for possible Ponzi schemes that can masquerade as tax shelters, precious metals, commodities, high-tech stocks, and other investment vehicles. Ensure the "planner" does not have a conflict-of-interest in respect of services offered, and Uiat his/her compensation is coming only from you for services tendered. Further protect yourself against fraud by contacting your Better Business Bureau, 682-2711, to determine the planner's reliability report. Seminar serie§ Julie Edwards B.A. Mgmt. Econ.

Member - Canadian Investor Protection Fund Alzheimer demands alternate forms ^p* of housing styles TORONTO - A 1994 position paper by the National Advisory Council on Aging and the federal Minister of Health have endorsed the need for a balance between traditional institutional care and community based care. According to Stephen Rudin, executive director of Alzheimer Canada, there is a tremendous demand for alternative housing within the Alzheimer community, especially when individuals are affected by the disease at a younger age. "Traditional hospitals and nursing homes are not the best places for everyone." Currently, families have few options. Keeping a loved one at home can require outside support, wliich is costly. Subsidized or free care is available through some provincial governments, but can be limited to as little as two hours per week, due to demand. There are very few community based care facilities in operation and those that are can cost from $700 to $1,800 per month. "We need financial and physical resources for community care facilities," says Robin Charles- wood, who currently works full time and cares for his wife Di, aged 44, who has Alzheimer disease. "As Di's abilities continue to deteriorate, I need to have care options in place." Robin says a nursing home is not an appropriate option for someone Di's age. Forced currently to pay for outside help, Robin is working to develop alternative housing solutions in his Niagara, Ontario community. Alzheimer Canada is hopeful that governments will encourage the development of such community care facilities. Rudin says, "We can no longer depend on the families to shoulder the total responsibility; we must provide support to solve this problem. Developing community care facilities is a priority, which needs national attention and action." THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JANUARY 17,1996 Wealth ^ 15 By JULIE EDWARDS If I want to use my money from my RRSP, but I am only 63, should I roll it into a RRIF? The answer to this question will differ according to an individual's asset mix, desired income and several other factors. An individual can always return to their RRSP once they have opened a RRIF, as long as they are below age 71. If you do need income, ensure it is regular income you require. It if is a lump sum that is required, the quantity extracted will be taxed. Also remember, that with a RRIF, there is a minimum you must take out each year. When it comes to mutual funds, what is the time frame I should plan on being in that investment? Firstly, with mutual funds, I would always recommend being in an equity (stock) mutual fund; as this equity class has provided the best returns. For instance, a dollar in 1950 had grown to $71.68 by 1991 by investing in common stock, but only $13.45 with T-Bills, and $11.49 with Government Bonds. A mutual fund is definitely not a short term investment product. 1 would recommend that when purchasing a position in mutual funds, you consider this to be a 6- 10 year investment. Equity mutual funds rise and fall with the vagaries of the stock market. As such, though the stock markets have always demonstrated an upward trend, investors can be hit with a loss by pulling money out of funds that have a below average year. However, remember that some funds consistently outperform others. Quality of the fund is crucially important when considering which fund to purchase. / am retired and have placed all my money into an income fund. Is this a good idea? Let us remember that it is never a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket - even if your broker's advice ensures you that your money is being diversified into many companies within the fund. Lack of diversification means your income and return will depend on the success of a single fund company. Make sure you always diversify into several mutual funds to spread the risk and raise returns. Also, if income is your goal, income funds are not always the best alternative. Your financial advisor can assist you in setting up a portfolio of bonds, stripped bonds and preferred shares. All of these have a guaranteed rate of return, potential for better results and no management fees that the funds charge. It is best to know your options at all times. Should I contribute now to my RRSP or at the end of February? The best strategy is always to contribute regularly, for instance monthly, to take advantage of dollar cost averaging. However, there are some compelling reasons not to delay if you have not followed this strategy. The annual RRSP season brings with it a great deal of activity and demand in both the stock market and the stock of mutual funds. This increased activity usually inflates the price of mutual funds shares by the demand diat peaks in late February. By investing now, you may avoid these inflated prices and thus be in a position to purchase more shares of your chosen funds. Julie Edwards is a financial advisor with Midland Walwyn Capital Inc.

Weisgerber said (hat, from an academic perspective, the federal and provincial governments might find the Coates Report useful, but otherwise it is of little importance to the debate on treaty negotiations in British Columbia. 'The so-called 'independence' of this study is about as credible as when Glen Clark hired Maureen Maloney to argue for a wealth tax for British Columbians," Weisgerber said. "British Columbians are not going to be swayed by some warm and and fuzzy government- commissioned study on the impact of treaties in other jurisdictions. They are going to look at the content of treaties to determine whether they are fair and affordable, and come to their own conclusions as individuals. "If the treaties in the Yukon and Northwest Territories are intended to allay fears of what settlements will look like in British Columbia, both governments need to take a reality check. British Columbians are absolutely right to be apprehensive about the . shape of treaties in B.C. negotiated by the NDP and federal Liberals, based on the sell-out deal with the Nisga'a that is rumoured to be imminent. "I don't think most British Columbians give a fig about one academic's view of how treaties have been Deceived in other countries or jurisdictions. But they are beginning to understand very clearly that the one-way path to land claims negotiations taken here by both senior governments is not safe to travel. "Treaties are necessary and desirable, but they must reflect the will of the people, which hasn't been the case. If anything, the experience in other jurisdictions just confirms what a mess governments have made of treaties in Canada to date, because they have consistently refused to listen to the people," said Weisgerber. Treaty act gets royal nod OTTAWA - Ronald A. Irwin, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, announced that the British Columbia Treaty Commission Act has received Royal Assent. 'The passage of this legislation is a clear indication of the federal government's commitment to a tripartite process with the province of British Columbia and B.C. First Nations to hold land claim and self-government negotiations at the same treaty negotiation table," said Irwin. "As the keeper of the tripartite process, the commission will have an essential role to play to ensure that significant progress is made for the benefit of all British Columbians."

"Commuters looking for an alternative to the single occupant vehicle got an early Christmas present this year," said Hu Wallis, chair of Go Green. "Cycling will become a practical and attractive transportation alternative when these improvements are completed." In June, the province invited municipalities to submit proposals for cost-shared funding under the Cycling Network Program. The program is funded by the BC Transportation Finance Authority and administered by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways. The kinds of projects eligible for funding include those people who use cycling as their main method of transportation to and from work, school or shopping. The grants, awarded in December, cover 19 projects on provincial and local roads in 14 Lower Mainland municipalities and on Vancouver Island.

"The Cycling Network Program is excellent news for people who are concerned about pollution and want to improve their health," said Wallis. "This initiative, along with other Go Green partner programs like vanpools through the Jack Bell Foundation and high occupancy vehicle lanes - make 'Going Green* a reality." Go Green was founded in 1990 to promote changes in attitudes and actions that encourage responsible alternatives to, and use of, the motor vehicle. The Go Green steering committee is made up of key organizations dedicated to improving air quality; the Greater Vancouver Regional District, Ministry of the Environment, Lands and Parks, BC Transit, Environment Canada, Ministry of Transportation and Highways and Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.

The Students With Disabilities - co-op program, launched last spring, and the Arts co-op program, which is just getting underway, will complement existing co-op programs in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems. Co-operative Education formally integrates on-the-job work experience with academic study terms, ultimately resulting in job- ready, motivated graduates. Work terms usually last for around four months and students arc paid entry-level salaries by employers. "Co-op is beneficial to employers because the students tend to be very motivated - they bring new ideas and energy to the workplace," said Tanya Behrisch, the new arts co-op co-ordinator at UCFV. "The students are a valuable addition to a workplace because they bring good, recent classroom skills that the$;can apply to the job," said David Berrington, coordinator for the Students With Disabilities co-op program. "Co-op students are very aware of how tight the job market is, and as a result they're very eager to contribute, learn, and find a niche," said Behrisch. "Job placements are an opportunity for them to demonstrate their abilities and attitude, and to make connections, so that in the future they can ask their employer for a reference or a job." "Co-op is also a cost-effective way of testing new employees and meeting human resources needs. There's no long-term commitment," noted Berrinton. "It's ideal for special projects where you don't want to use outside consultants, peak period enhancement, and short-term leave replacements." Berrington has placed 10 students from a range of disciplines with private and public sector employers since last summer. Examples include a student with a visual impairment who worked as a customer service representative at the Royal Bank, a biology student with a physical disability who did food science research for Canadian Innovatech Labs, and a social services student with a physical disability who worked as a case aide for the Ministry of Social Services. "My role is to assist employers who are committed to or interested in hiring people with disabilities," said Berrington, whose own background includes a summer coordinating a Canada Employment Centre for students and several years as a special education aide as well as a history degree from SFU.

Berrington credits UCFV's Disability Resource Centre, which provides support services to stu- dents with disabilities, with helping to create a welcome atmosphere for students with disabilities studying at the university college. Behrisch will be working hard for the next few months matching students from a variety of arts disciplines with employers in the Fraser Valley and beyond. She herself is an example of a gainfully employed arts graduate. She recently completed her Master of Arts in geography and participated in co-op while studying at SFU. Her co-op employers included the Sunshine Coast Regional District, the Fraser Institute, and Environment Canada. Potential arts co-op job titles, according to Behrisch, include research assistant, public relations assistant, museum interpreter, technical writer, youth worker, market researcher, small business counsellor, and media analyst. She's eager to hear from potential employers who might have a job for an Arts student. Disciplines within the arts that students can specialize in at UCFV include anthropology, English, geography, history, international studies, mathematics, media and communication stud ies, psychology, sociology, and theatre. All arts students are familiar with at least two of these disciplines and possess multiple skills in the areas of research, writing, critical thinking, and communication. Some funding is available to help employers pay the wages of co-op students.

JANUARY 17,1996 Residence named in honor of pioneers LANGLEY - You'll see their name on Vancouver's cafe-dotted Robson Street, and in the archives of B.C.'s early-history. And soon you'll see their name outside Trinity Western University's newest building: Robson Hall. On January 15, Dr. Neil Snider, president of TWLI, announced that in keeping with the university's tradition of naming residences after key people in B.C. history, the junior residence will be named in honor of John and Ebcnezer Robson. own pioneer spirit as a privately supported, Christian, degree- granting university, says Dr. Bob. Burkinshaw, associate professor of history at TWU. Dr. Burkinshaw was commissioned by the university to submit the naming proposal for the junior residence. "The Robsons' achievements struck me because of die breadth of their endeavours," says Dr. Burkinshaw. "It was a very young, rough frontier west coast colony that the Robson brothers came to in 1859, but both Rob- TWU's new junior residence has been named after B.C.'s pioneering Robson family. The Robson brothers came to B.C. from Ontario in 1859 and between them gave 70 years of leadership to the province. "In many ways they model the kind of leadership Trinity Western University seeks to build in its students," said Snider. "The Rob- sons were recognized as having great integrity of character and made a significant impact in many spheres of life - in journalism, politics, education and in the church." John Robson (1824-1892) came to B.C. in 1859 to seek his fortune as a miner, but gained renown as a newspaper editor and legislator. He served as the province's minister of finance and of agriculture, minister of mines, and as B.C.'s first minister of education. I Ie went on to become premier from 1889 until his death in 1892. While premier, he became known as a passionate reformer and brilliant orator as he persuaded B.C. to join Uie Canadian Confederation. He also championed responsible government, in addition to fighting to bring an end to corruption in the granting of railroad charters and to the "reckless expropriation of natural resources." John's younger brother Ebcnezer (1835-1911) was more interested in refining souls than gold when he came to B.C. in 1859 as part of the province's first group of Methodist ministers. He preached to goldminers and road- builders of the Fraser Canyon, and in 1865 delivered the first sermon ever heard in the new setdement that was to become Vancouver. Travelling extensively, he served as an itinerant minister among both white settlers and B.C. natives. His concern for education prompted him to build schools for native children in Hope and Nanaimo, and later led him to found the Methodist-affiliated Collegiate and High School of New Wesuninster, later known as Columbia College. Naming its residences after B.C. pioneers reflects TWU's sons made important contributions which helped build the province we enjoy today." Robson Hall opened August 1995 and currently provides housing for 92 third-year students. The residence is unique in that it allows students to live semi-inde- pcndently, cook for themselves, and still benefit from living on campus. BC chicken growers are doing it right, says national board ALDERGROVE - B.C.'s more than 300 chicken growers and their chicken board have received high praise from the Canadian Chicken Marketing Agency. The national agency says the B.C. Chicken Board has played a major role in not only promoting chicken but also in achieving major expansion in the industry. B.C. now has die highest per capita consumption of chicken meat in Canada, considerably higher than in Quebec, which traditionally had held the top position since eating habit statistics were first kept. There is more Uian $1-billion invested in the B.C. chicken industry and chicken has become the second most important food commodity after milk products. Chicken growers have annual gross fann gate receipts of $150- million, and, together with the B.C. industry's other stakeholders, the industry produces primary gross revenues of $350-million a year. For example, in the Abbotsford area the economic benefit from 107 chicken growers is now esti- matcd at upwards of $200-mil- lion. In Chilliwack region die economic benefit is estimated at $70- million. close to $50-million for Surrey and just over $80-million for Langley. From stone tablets to etching on atoms By FRANK OGDEN VANCOUVER - In a recent article I mentioned briefly a new. development in highly compressed data storage. This invention came from the same scientists in Los Alamos, New Mexico that gave us the bomb. Now they have moved to civy street. With all that information rushing into their computers from nuclear installations at a zillion gigabits a second, they needed lots of storage space. So they created their earlier gem - SERODS (Surface Enhanced Raman Optical Data Storage), a 12-inch disc Uiat can hold one million books. This one disc could replace the $125-mil- lion white elephant known as the Vancouver Public Library. That was last week. _ Their latest: An information storage technique that can secure computer archival data as far into the future as the Egyptian pyramids protected writings from die past Two years ago die Los Alamos guys were worrying about their jobs with the scale-down of things nuclear and all Uiat. Now they are back in business. How can they do Uiis? A CD- ROM is created by etching tiny pits on an extremely thin coat of aluminum, silver or gold sprayed on a plastic disc. The new process moves to the newer ion micromill a specially modified and focused beam which inscribes data onto such long-lasting material as stainless steel or iridium. Such hard and solid metals are not easily damaged by poirtWi'hg, doif't burn and can resist most chemicals. Because the HD-ROM is made of such materials, phenomenon like EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse - as produced by an atomic bomb can't erase the material oUier than by a direct hit). Such eradication would occur instantly with data stored on computer hard-disc drives (which is why some Russian airborne computers still use old vacuum tubes). The new process is called sputter-etching. The writing (*done only in a vacuum) makes pits by atomic collisions where the ion beam moves. They can do all Uiis in 150 billionths of a metre. It's a game played only in'the new field of nanotechnology, where measurements exist only in billionths of a metre. Reading is done through the use of upgraded commercially available atomic- force microscopes. Los Alamos scientists can now store Uie information equivalent from 12,000 high-density floppy discs (yes, 12,000!) or all the data on 180 currently available CD- ROMs (each capable of holding information equivalent to 1,000 300-page books) on an invisible one-inch long stainless steel nail made up of just 560 atoms. As this American laboratory points out, Uiis high-density, readonly device could do wonders for banking institutions, the FBI, NASA and the Library of congress, which holds 88 million books and other documents. It doesn't take a nuclear physicist to peak further down Uie road to see Peter Bronfman and Michael Eisner observing the possibilities for storing images. The result may be production studios under microscopes instead of large buildings of brick and mortar on thousands of acres of dusty California deserts. Quite a step from stone tablets.

The Bruins dropped a 5-2 decision to the Vancouver T- Birds at Kerrisdale on Jan. 3, hung a 6-3 licking on the visiting Port Moody squad at home on Jan. 4, then tied the North Shore Winter Club 1-1 on Jan. 6 at North Shore. The squad's visit to Kerrisdale got off to a disastrous start, as the Bruins found themselves down 3- 0 only 5 minutes into the game. The Bruins hitched up their pants after the shaky start as the first period ended 3-0.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES The team traded goals in each of the second and third periods. In the second period David Mamchur slipped a pass to D man Carl Ammann, and Anunann hammered a slap shot into the T-Bird goal. Aldergrove's third period goal was scored by Matt Kieth, as he roofed one from in close after sustained forechecking from Marc Windle and Jacob Boake. Ice Chips: Aldergrove outshot the home teams 40-27 but were thwarted time and again by die T- Bird goalie. The Port Moody team came to town prepared to play and held the early edge. The first period ended 1-1. Carl Ammann's slap shot was deflected in by Mark Cassibo to account for Aldergrove's goal. As the game progressed, the Bruins picked up their momentum and outscored the visitors 4-2 in the middle frame. Ryan Costello carried the puck down the wing before feeding the puck to Jacob Boake. Boake relayed to Matt Kieth who beat the goalie cleanly. The second goal of the period was a beauty by Josh MacKnee. With the Bruins shorthanded, MacKnee singlehandedly checked the visitors into their own end before stealing the puck and beating the goalie on the wrap around. Mike Roberts tallied goal #3 by hammering in a rebound from Simon Whitlock and Mark Cassibo. MacKnee tipped in another Ammann point shot for the fourth goal of the game. MacKnee was back in the third session to complete the hat trick as he pounded a Marc Windle rebound into the net Ice Chips: Turning point of the game was easily MacKnee's shorthanded effort...This was an important game for the Bruins, as they will likely be playing Port Moody in the Provincials...Shots on goal favored Port Moody 22- 18, and Davis Parley picked up the W in goal...The last 2 Bruin goals of the second session came in the final 33 seconds of the period. The game against North Shore Winter Club was a close checking contest from the outset, as both teams failed to mount sustained offensive pressure. The first two periods were scoreless, and it appeared the Bruins would get the win, when Mike Roberts took a pass from Matt Roberts, skirted the N.S.W.C. defense and fired a hard shot past the home team goalie with only 5:36 remaining in the game. It was a shorthanded goal. The N.S.W.C. retaliated with a goal of their own with 2:56 left and the game ended 1-1. Ice Chips: Aaron Slagman had a great game between the pipes for tlie Bruins. Combined with the last 2 periods against the T-Birds Slagman has put together 5 periods of nearly flawless goaltending...The Bruins took one more penalty than the home team in the chippy contest - one of the very few times all year the Bruins have taken more penalties than their opponents. Regents win Abbotsford Indoor Soccer Tournament - U11 Division. Regents back on schedule By EARL ERICKSON ABBOTSFORD - After a long layoff, it was back to action with a "weekend of shut-outs" for the Ull Soccer Regents. The boys entered the Abbotsford Soccer Association Indoor Tournament at the Tradex Centre. The first game of the tournament on Friday, had the Regents up against the Abbotsford Royals. The boys' skills were put to the test with a small, artificial turf field, small goals and a bouncing ball. Brodie Sorensen started the game off with a bang scoring on a solo effort less than 2 minutes into the game. Cole Bayford was the keeper and made a great save at the 9 minute mark, which proved to be the save that earned him a shut-out. In the 2nd half, Cody Heath had a good scoring chance just before Blake Lawson drove in a goal. Mike Vickers had 2 near goals on passes from Devin Erickson. Brodie Sorensen notched his 2nd on a pass from Devin Erickson, for a 3-0 win. Brian Dawson and Devon Heath played a strong defensive game to keep the Royals at bay. Game #2 of the Tournament Saturday was against the Abbotsford Grizzlies. The game was a close one, when keeper Greg Zibin made a game saver and tossed the ball down the floor to Nick Sandau. He tapped it over to Gabe Macdougall, who absolutely Provincials for colleges « LANGLEY - The B.C.

The Grizzlies came close, bouncing one off the crossbar and almost squeaking one past Greg Zibin, who alertly turned and smothered the ball, as it trickled to the goal line. Brodie Sorensen played well on defense keeping the score 1-0 at the half. In the 2nd, Colby Hansen tapped in a goal on a rebound on a good Jurek Szymczak shot for a 2-0 win. Game #3 was against the Abbotsford Blasters, a team that has given the Regents trouble outdoors as well. It was a tight game 0-0 at the half. 4 minutes into the 2nd half the Blasters scored, then soon scored again on a beautiful cross pass. Cole Bayford smothered several shots, and Peter Mat- terson and Gabe Macdougall played well to keep the score close, but the Regents could not rally to score - 2-0 the end result. W<vth 2 wins and a loss, the Regents went in to the final against the Abbotsford Grizzlies again. Talk about a close, well played game!! Good scoring chances both ways - but a 0-0 score at the half. The 2nd half started off with Brian Dawson bouncing one off the post! The Grizzlies pressed, and Colby Hansen jumped in front of a sharp angle shot to save a goal, then keeper Blake Lawson made a sprawling save to prevent a sure goal. Their goalie smothered a Mike Vickers shot with Devin Erickson banging at the rebound. Nick Sandau and Adam Furness pressed hard, but at the end of regulation it was still 0-0. Shootout time! 5 shots by each side resulted in 3 posts hit, but no goals. Then Sudden Death shootout. Blake Lawson stopped the Grizzlies cold and die 3rd shooter, Cody Heath, broke the tension scoring on a great shot! The Regents were Champions of their division. Their trophy and individual pennants headed home to Aldergrove amongst many smiles. And in between all of that action, the boys played an exhibition game, in the downpour, against the Hurricanes at Steele Park. The boys played well but came up short 4-0 on some very good plays by the Hurricanes. It was 1-0 going into the 2nd half when Brian Dawson had a good scoring chance. Keeper Adam Furness had some good saves and a good effort was put in by Peter Matterson, Devon Heath, Nick Sandau and Jurek Szymczak.

The confusion resulted in the Aldergrove players wondering why penalties weren't being called in a game that got out of hand. The Bruins hung on to make it close in the final minute but couldn't put one in with their goalie pulled. Will Parley played well in net, stopping many good chances, and came away with only a couple dozen bruises.. The schedule maker played with the minds of the Bruins, sending them into another game against Delta only three nights later in Aldergrove. This was to be a better game from a referee's stand point, knowing not any Smith and Jones would show up. Aldergrove started the game slowly and maintained that pace throughout to lose 5-1 on home ice. This was the first loss on home ice for the Bruins in well over seven weeks. The following Friday saw the Bruins travel into Abbotsford to play the Hawks on the big ice surface. The local club got off to a quick start with two goals early but lost Uiat lead by the half way point of the game. Through some defensive errors in their own end, Aldergrove had to hang on to the end to come away with a 4-4 split Since the opening exhibition game in September, through all Exhibition, Tiering, and League games, the Atom Al team has a record of 15 wins, 13 losses, 7 ties in 35 games. This team is comprised of 4 first year players and 13 second year players, of which only 3 had Atom Al experience. This group has done well, and it has come from their commitment to teamwork and hard work.

Six new parks were created and six more expanded through Please write soon A college student wrote home to his family: "Dear Mom and Dad. I haven't heard from you in nearly a month. Please send a cheque so I will know you are all right." - From Aim Landers- the 1995 Lower Mainland Nature Legacy, raising the total number of regional parks to 25. GVRD now faces the challenge of providing more recreation facilities and services without increasing property taxes. The GVRD Park Committee believes that expanded community partnerships, supported by joint revenue generation activities, will meet this challenge, and is preferable to the more usual approach of simply imposing new fees and business operations after limited public discussion. All new revenue generation projects must enhance recreation opportunities and respect park values. Possible revenue sources include eco-tourism, parking fees, food and other services. GVRD Parks has a long-standing history of strong community partnerships. In the Langley/- Abbotsford area, over the years, the Langley Heritage Society has worked with GVRD to plan the' Fort-to-Fort Trail, and restore the Hassel House in Glen Valley Regional Park and the Houston House in Derby Reach Regional Park. In Campbell Valley Regional Park the Langley Field Naturalists, the White Rock-Surrey Naturalists and the Campbell Valley Equestrian Society have been involved in many trail and habitat projects.

MORE EXPECTED TO FLEE HONG KONG Colony deeply depressed over looming handover By GRAHAM HUTCHINGS The Daily Telegraph HONG KONG - A mood of pessimism is sweeping through Hong Kong as the enormity of next year's handover of sovereignty to China strikes home. Politicians have spoken of a • difficult year ahead, and pollsters predict Uiat up to 100,000 people could emigrate in the next 12 months to avoid die uncertainties of life under Chinese rule. Confidence-building measures from Beijing could yet reverse the tide. But Uiere are few signs that Chinese officials are ready to acknowledge the problem, let alone take steps to counter what could develop into a crisis of confidence. Britain can do little to instil ■faith in the future of a territory which it has run for more than 150 years, but from which it must soon withdraw. Malcolm Rifkind, Britain's Foreign Secretary, is due in Hong Kong and will travel to Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders. But, with less Uian 18 months before the handover, Uiere is a decidedly valedictory feel to what British officials are billing as an important working visit. The latest evidence of dismay in lhe territory emerged from a survey of Hong Kong's young people. Unlike the older generation, Uiey have grown up with the idea that Britain will leave Hong Kong on June 30 next year, when China will recover sovereignty over its "lost territory". This was set out in the Sino- British Joint Declaration of 1984, and has long been an accepted part of political life in Hong Kong. Yet a poll of 1,660 people, aged between 15 and 24, found Uiat more man 40 percent wanted to emigrate before the Chinese flag is hoisted over Uieir homeland. Respondents were most concerned about die lack of freedom and human rights under Beijing's rule, as well as unemployment, deterioration in public order, and corruption. They feared, in other words, that Hong Kong would become more like China. Timothy Wong, organizer of the/poll, was quoted in the newspapers as saying that young people were very familiar with what was going on in China. "They have learned from the media about Uie many problems in China, in its economy and political system, and human rights," he said. "Inevitably, they will ask themselves wheUier Uiat will occur in Hong Kong after 1997." The leaders of Hong Kong's main political parties are also gloomy about the prospects for the colony. Martin Lee, leader of the Democrats, the party Uiat fared best in September's legislative elections, said mat if tilings "continue to go wrong as they did last year, then many people wiU (emigrate)". t^ty-ym^kP. ,lV,i ..... ■■■■.■..■..-■■■ .... ,...^..

It was on Uiis day 10 years,ago that regular revenue service began on the first phase of SkyTrain between Vancouver and New WcsUninstcr. During its first 10 years, SkyTrain carried more than 285-million passengers between tlie 20 stations Uiat span 28.8-kilometres from King George in Surrey to Waterfront in downtown Vancouver. SkyTrain's busiest year was 1994/95, Uie year following the opening of tlie Surrey City Centre extension, in which boarded ridership grew by 14 per cent to 35.3- million. On an average weekday, SkyTrain carries an estimated 115,000 passengers. Glen Clark, minister responsible for transit, said "BC Transit's ten-year development plan includes plans for (lie next phase of rapid transit in the Lower Mainland - light rail transit - plans that are crucial to addressing the pressures of growth, reducing congestion and maintaining our quality of life." Clark noted diat the SkyTrain anniversary also marks the official introduction to service of the 20 new SkyTrain cars delivered during the last half of 1995. The SkyTrain car fleet has grown from 114 initially to 150 with the delivery of the 20 newest cars. This fleet si/.e enables SkyTrain to operate up to 34 trains during peak periods. SkyTrain ridership continues to grow wiUi year-to-date figures showing an increase of about eight per cent over last year's record numbers. Two drivers sent to hospital SURREY - A three car collision in the 10000 block of Scott Road just after 10 p.m, Thursday, January 11, has sent two people to hospital. Twenty-five year-old Lynn Richardson was travelling south on Scott Road when her vehicle crossed the centre line and struck a 1991 Honda Civic driven by Carolyn Bliss, 34, of West Vancouver. The car then travelled on and hit a 1993 Nissan 240SX, driven by 68 year-old Harbans Mann, head on. Bliss was not injured in the accident, but Mann and Richardson were transported to Royal Columbian Hospital. Mann sustained minor injuries, but Richardson is listed in serious condition with multiple injuries. Police are continuing their investigation. Innovation encouraged l.VV.A4,f j^^w\\ia^\\v«,\\\i VANCOUVER - Finding new, innovative and effective ways to reach young people with traffic safety and related messages is the ultimate goal of a new province- wide Road Sense Contest that will see thousands of dollars in cash prizes awarded. "Who better than young people to create exciting and attention- getting ways of delivering the 'promote safe road use' message to their peers?" said Brad Woods, project leader and ICBC Road Sense regional co-ordinator for the Kootenays. 'The contest is open to young people across the province between ages 13 and 25 to be as creative as they can - in a safe and legal way, of course - in drawing attention to things like impaired driving, speeding, prevention of auto theft and vandalism and the proper use of safety equipment like seat belts and head rests." Up to two grand prizes of $3,000 and five supplementary prizes of $2,000 will be awarded to the provincial winners. In each of 12 provincial regions, up to six prizes of $500 and five of $250 will be awarded to the most creative thinkers. With a submission ■!4e^dUnXqf.!May -6^ 996; projects' % should get underway soon, he added. Contest information is already being distributed to schools, recreational centres and youth groups throughout B.C. To win, groups or individuals must be able to show that their message got results - that public attention and awareness about a road safety or auto crime concern was raised through their activities. Counting attendance at events, measuring media interest and even informal public awareness surveys are all ways of showing that the project made a difference. ICBC Road Sense managers and co-ordinators, like Woods, are ready to help Out with background information, road safety brochure handouts and advice to contest participants. In this area, call 661-6651. "There is a very simple reason why we are targeting young people with this initiative," said Woods. "Last year, nearly 7,800 teenagers were injured and 70 killed in vehicle crashes. "If we can help cut into this terrible and costly toll by reaching young people in ways that are effective in their communities, then d\e.Road Sense Content will *^esm4l^^4^SKvMSo^,>^'*^ x ——— 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JANUARY 17,1996 .IMtfii SAFEWAY FOOD & DRUG SELECTION, SERVICE AND QUALITY Fresh Peaches • Imported. 3.26 kg/lb full Of SAVIHGS throughout the month of January!
