Story on page 2 -Kurt Langmann photo Evicted father wins day in court ALDERGROVE - A local single father who has been battling an eviction notice from the Kinsmen housing project has won his day in court. Allan Wotherspoon, a provincial arbitrator has ruled that Scot Queen may stay as his eviction notice was not based on sufficient cause. The eviction notice for Dec. 31 was overturned on Dec. 10. Queen had alleged that the eviction was a "personal vendetta" against 'him because he had spoken out over issues Trust set up for local family LANGLEY - A trust hind has been established to help an Aldergrove family that recently suffered a serious automotive accident. Lome Swinden and his sons, Wayne and Brian were on their way to hockey practice at the Civic Centre, about 4 a.m. on Dec. 8, when thek car was struck by a weaving vehicle. The head- on collision sent all three to hospital with serious injuries. Police are awaiting blood analysis of the other driver before charges are laid. Lome and Wayne, 13, were in the front seat and suffered the worst injuxfes. Both will require reconstructive surgery, although all three of the family involved have now been released from hospital. The trust fund, set up by Langley^ Minor Hockey Association, is at the Brookswood branch of Surrey Metro Savings, and the account number is 2- 20897. affecting the subsidized housing tenants. Queen said some of the management's rules were too rigid and unreasonable. An example is the case of single mother, Corinne Eskesen, who had her car towed away from the parking area while she was in hospital. Eskesen said a clause in the lease allows the management to remove vehicles with expired insurance, but she said in her case, the insurance expired while she was in hospital and when she finally came home the towing bill along with storage had come to $180. She said this resulted in her being $180 behind in her rent while she pursued housing management for reimbursement, but she has been unable to receive satisfaction. Instead she opted to protest by giving her notice for February 1. "It's totally unfair to do this to somebody," she remarked. of money. Meaning that it will cost the taxpayers in the region a lot of money. According to municipal administrator Jim Godfrey, the GVRD will be looking at a cost of upgrading sanitary sewer treatment facilities amounting to roughly $500-million, and it will have a financial "impact on every resident of the lower mainland." Searle says it will mean that property taxes now costing a homeowner $2,300 a year will go to $2,800 for this reason alone. And although Ottawa has decreed, councilors do not expect too much in the way of financial assistance from the nation's capital. True, the feds have granted help with the cost of infrastructure improvements to the Maritimes and Quebec, but that does not mean that there will be anything for British Columbia. "We should give the feds an opportunity to participate. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander," Coun.

Both municipalities are working together on a study to define the overall goals for the center and provideland use, servicing and marketing strategies. The area included within the study includes the city's downtown and industrial areas, the Willowbrook and Mufford areas of the township, commercial areas along major highways and the adjacent commercial and industrial areas in Surrey. The municipal councils have commissioned Coriolis Consulting and Hotson Bakker Architects to prepare the concept Arnason concerned about local spending MURRAYVILLE - Concerned about the cost of operating public facilities, Coun. Muriel Arnason introduced a motion in township council this week calling for a drafting of policies that would require public referenda to be held whenever "major parks and recreation and other capital expenses" are contemplated. It appears, however, that other council members don't share her concern. Her motion was defeated. Arnason has expressed worry that the cost of running the Blair pool, for example, is skyrocketing, and that council has approved of building a new multi-million-dollar recreational center in northwest Langley's Walnut Grove without bothering to ask the local taxpayers what they think of the idea. plan. The consultants have provided a report that provides background analysis and recommended directions for the town center. City Mayor Joe Lbpushinsky says the two Langleys are .^igking regional town center designation by the Greater Vancouver regional district. Township Mayor John Beales says Langley has the fourth largest commercial floorspace inventory of suburban centers in the lower mainland and is larger than three of the designated regional centers, Lonsdale, Coquitlam and New Westminster. The consultants have recommended that the plan for the Langley regional town center recognize and build on the different nature of the two cores, the city's older pedestrian oriented downtown and the auto oriented retail center in the Willowbrook area. The plan provides for higher density multi-family housing around the city's downtown, highway commercial uses along the Langley bypass route, business park and light industrial uses in the Mufford area near Milner, and high density residential and some commercial development on older industrial lands. The study emphasizes protection and enhancement of open space - areas and provision of better linkages between the two cores. Both the township and city councils have endorsed public review of the draft plan. A meeting will be arranged early next year to provide for public discussion of the plan, and more detailed work will then be undertaken followed by another opportunity for public input.

All the same, the improvements to the environment' will have to be done, "one way or another." Municipalities that fail to comply with the legislation could be fined by its provisions up to $300,000 a day. "Nobody at the table knew what's going to happen," says Mayor John Beales. "The GVRD (officials) don't know." And perhaps the worst part of the whole thing is that, according to Godfrey, "The standards are not clear. We do not know what we will be getting for the $500- million. Secondary sewage treatment (as called for by the federal government) will still not meet the toxicity tests." Chair | ; won't endorse i new tax VANCOUVER - The .chair of BC Transit, Eric Denhoff, says he is not prepared to recx>mmend to the minister responsible for transit, Glen Clark, that the province approve the four-and-a- quarter-cent a liter gas tax recommended by the Victoria Regional Transit Commission. Commission has asked the province for permission to levy the tax to pay for $31.6-million in bus service improvements over the next five years. Commissioners here proposed moving the Hydro transit levy, whicli appears monthly on Victoria Hydro bills, to the gas tax. "Because of the pots^ntial for serious consequences to businesses and car owners, I cannot recommend that the minister consider allowing for implementation of a tax of this magnitude," says Denhoff. There would seem to be two issues here: first, whether there is a need for some sort of modest gas tax in Victoria to pay for transit service improvements; second, whether the existing Hydro levy should be moved on to the gas tax. "While I recognize there may be some need ifor the former, the latter makes no sense at all. Instead, the commission should consider moving the Hydro levy on to the property tax base. Currently, the federal government charges GST on top of the hydro levy. If the levy was changed to a property tax, Ottawa could not charge the GST, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. These savings could be, passed directly' to Victoria-area taxpayers. "BC Transit is keen to see new transit service for Victoria, but we'd like to see that accomplished with a more modest proposal than put forward by the commission. "I will meet with the minister in the near future to discuss counter-proposals to the commission's recommendation.''

Mary did not really retire as she became very active in the O.A.P. organization. Her biggest' interest is the Wednesday and Saturday dances where she works very hard so the pensioners can have a great time. One of Mary's biggest achievements is decorating the hall at Christmas and, if you drop around on decorating day, you'll likely find Mary up a ladder hanging decorations or, running around getting people to do various jobs. Several years ago, the O.A.P., with the aid of a New Horizon Grant sponsored the opening of the Thrift Shop. Apparently, All deals are off HONG KONG - China has raised the stakes in the bitter row over its taking over of Hong Kong in 1997, warning that all contacts, leases and agreements signed by the territory without Peking's permission will be declared invalid in July of that year. Peking officials say that "Britain's administrative power over Hong Kong will terminate on June 30, 1997, and it will then have no right to handle any .affairs after that date. Accordingly all contracts, leases and agreements which are not approved by the Chinese side, will be invalid after June 30, 1997." according to our information, it was in danger of closing. Mary became involved and reorganized the shop from the one room store on Fraser Highway to the thr<2e stores on 272 Street with the help of volunteers. Numerous organizations have benefited from Thrift Shop donations including schools, bursaries, young peoples sports and others too numerous to mention. Mary is the driving force behind it all. VICTORIA - Liberal critic Gary Farrell-Collins said the passage of B.C's new Labour Code is an election payoff by the Harcourt government to the province's big labour bosses for their support in the last election. The new labour legislation is anti-democratic and will have a detrimental impact on the ability of business to function," said Farrell-Collins. "It's clearly weighted in favour of unions, and when businesses begin to put expansion plans on hold, or choose to invest elsewhere, jobs will be lost and the ecranomy will suffer." Feds had been warned about U.S. trade deal OTTAWA - A report released under the Access to Information Act has revealed that the federal government was warned that the Canada-US free trade agreement was causing some business executives to think twice about doing business in Canada. The report, prepared by University of Western Ontario professor David Conklin, was based on case studies of eight large Canadian corporations, found that the federal government had made no provisions for those Canadians who would become unemployed as a result of the agreement. Another important finding in the report was the "psychological impact" companies are experiencing, that they are operating less on theSjatsis of a Canadian strategy and more on one of a unified North American market. "Some manufacturing companies have made a decision fairly easily after free trade to shut down Canadian activity and just keep sales staff in the Canadian territory," said John Brant, former presideriSgbf Emco Ltd. who spoke to the report. "Such a decision wouldn't IT PAYS TO SUBSCRIBE The Aldergrove Star DELIVERED WITH YOUR MAIL EVERYTHURSDAY, THE ALDERGROVE STAR WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST OF WHATS HAPPENING IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I think this kind of decision will be to the benefit of everyone except the Canadian workforce. The product will be less expensive in Canada because of this." The Liberal opposition introduced numerous amendments to the Labour Relations Code which would have made the law more fair and balanced. "We had hoped the NDP would listen to our reasoned arguments, but the only group they chose to hear was thek big union friends," said the Liberal critic. "The new labour bill is an election payoff to the union bosses." "Time will prove our amendments would have refined the Labour Relations Code. Changes will still be needed, and I believe we will see further amendments in the spring when the government and public begin to realize that the NDP's legislation isn't working," predicted Farrell- Collins. He added that once certification drives begin to take place, business and the public will become very concerned. "When a school is suddenly behind picket lines and parents realize volunteers can't cross to take care of thek children, that's when the full detrimental impact of this regressive legislation will be felt."

It was time, once more, for township council to renew the contract with a local tow truck operator that grants him virtual monopoly on the lucrative ICBC business for the next three years. Clover Towing has held the contract in the past and is, understandably reluctant to let it go- Competitor Frank VanHuet, owner of Partel Towing, would like to see part of the action. Contract is estimated to be worth about $2-million over the three-year period of its natural life. The two companies have been in a neck-to-heck bidding war to secure the contract this time around. The RCMP had recommended that the contract with Clover be renewed, and it came as "no surprise" to VanHuet even though he claimed to have submitted the lowest tender. "That doesn't seem to make any difference," he told councilors. "The municipality regulates towing." VanHuet suggested the contract be awarded on a "rotational" basis, to be shared by the two companies. "Other communities in the Fraser Valley do that," he said. Contract grants Clover "between 95 and 98 percent" of the ICBC business in Langley, according to VanHuet. Whenever police attend at 'an accident scene and call a trucker, they automatically call Clover, he said. Even if a Partel truck happens to Bouchard promised but didn't deliver LANGLEY - A woman who lost her daughter to hepatitis B three years ago says the federal government Is not living up to its responsibility to help eliminate the disease. Betty Bows»r has travelled to Ottawa in her fight to eradicate hepatitis B, and met health minister Benoit Bouchard in October 1991, when he promised her his support. Bower's daughter, Lisa was a teenager when she died of the disease three years ago. A common's health issues subcommittee, headed by Delta MP Stan Wilbee, had recommended the federal government help provinces begin vaccination programs and pay half the cost. However, the federal government said it supports the priorities but cannot consider helping pay for the programs. Instead, it established a hepatitis B steering committee to investigate ways of controlling the disease. So far, only B.C. has begun immunizing children against it, at a cost of $3.5-million to the province. Hepatitis B is a viral inflammatory disease affecting the liver, and it can act extremely quickly and lead to death. be at the scene, the driver is "chased away." Councilors listened. Truckers from both camps listened. "It's a tough decision for us to make," said Coun. Steve Ferguson. And Coun. John Scholtens, being the self-proclaimed "ultimate free enterpriser," suggested what Mayor John Beales later referred to as "a Dutch auction", namely that if VanHuet "really wanted the contract" he would have to "sharpen his pencils" and come up with a quote that was not only better but "substantially better" than Clover's. Other councilors tried to intervene on Partel's behalf. Aubrey Searle suggested a decision be held over for one week. Muriel Arnason would like to see a one year contract, and Scholtens suggested that "we (council) set the price." In the end, they decided to reduce the term of the contract from three to two years, but for this time it was awarded once more to Clover. The truckers, some happy, some not, started filing out of council chambers. NDP is a little embarrassed by scab allegations VICTORIA - The provincial government defended itself last week against charges it was violating the spirit of its own labor reform bill by printing the legislature's Orders of the Day in defiance of a strike by workers at the Queen's Printer. Government Services Minister Lois Boone told the legislature that there was no question of violating Bill 84 or existing labor law. It was the legislative assembly, she said, and not "either the government or the Queen's Printer" which published the Orders of the Day. Because the Queen's Printer was strikebound, Boone said, the legislative assembly's clerk's office had photocopied the orders. Labor Minister Moe Sihota said there was no scabbing. Bill 84, he said, provided along with current labor law that "a business which is the customer of a struck plant can always take its business elseCwhere).1' Local man charged in gang attack VANCOUVER - A Langley man is the first to be arrested and .charged in connection with a gang attack on a Burnaby man last' Hallowe'en night. Marco Antonio Molina, 19, is charged with aggravated assault. Molina is a suspect in the case, which is believed to have sparked a rampage of gang violence in the Vancouver area over recent months. In the Hallowe'en attache, an unidentified man was chased away from a youth dance at Tony's Banquet Hall on Kamloops Street, by five men wielding knives, broken bottles and a machete. The victim escaped his attackers by breaking into a home where the tenants called police and ambulance. The man survived the serious injuries and police have been investigating its connection to a series of attacks and a murder that may have been in retribution for the Hallowe'en attack. Police believe there is a connection between it and the Nov. 14 murder of Burnaby resident, Darren Ford in a batde on Robson Street. Another suspected gang member had his home in North Vancouver fire- bombed on Nov. 28. Investigation shows that there is a dispute between a Hispanic gang called Los Chollos, a relatively new club based in east Vancouver and Surrey, and the •North Van Locals, an older dub that police had thought to be disbanded.

By RUDY LANGMANN Just like kids with a new toy Bureaucrats are like that. They like problems. They actually love problems. To the extent that they never shy away from creating some themselves whenever there's a dull moment in the department. And let's face it: that's not infrequent. But they have to be neat problems, clean problems, easily solvable problems (and that does not, by any turn of the imagination, mean quickly solvable ones). The mandarins actually go out of their way in inventing conundrums, and the more difficult they look to the untrained non- bureaucratic eye, the better. Sometimes, however, they really step in it. That seems to have been the case with the Concorde Pacific property in downtown Vancouver. Remember how some wise guy discovered (after a lot of political hullabaloo following the sale of the old Expo86 site to an Asian billionaire) that the land was seriously contaminated? They talked about a high toxicity level, perhaps even highly dangerous radioactivity. Definitely not the kind of dirt you plant radishes in in your back garden. And then came the stinger: the taxpayer would have to pick up the tab for either detoxifying the soil or getting rid of it somewhere, anywhere, perhaps at Baffin Island? Eventually and quietly, of course. There was not even the slightest hint of 'buyer beware' in this case. The Taiwanese investor could definitely not be saddled with the cleanup bill and the VanderZalm Socreds not only had to be humiliated, but completely, one hundred and ninety-nine percent defiled and dishonored for their open participation in the sale. The New Democrats took office. The bureaucracy lived on. And the pen pushers toyed with their new baby. Now, one year later, would you believe it, they have discovered that the subsoil under the False Creek site is not that badly contaminated after all? Perhaps not at all, as a matter of fact. They have played with it for a year and now comes the time to do something concrete about getting rid of the alleged problem. So someone in the department is suddenly subject to a brainstorm: Why dont we send it to Langley? Yes, why dont we? Great idea! So they dispatch two of their most trusted, armed with an overhead projector and some hastily drawn-up slides showing that it is all, at best, a tempest in a teapot. The soil is perfectly safe, and oh no, it wont contaminate Langley's ground water supplies. No way. As a matter for the record, the soil only has to be brought out of Vancouver in order to provide for underground parking at the site. A councilor has the presence of mind to ask how much this particular program is going to cost the taxpayer in toto. The mandarin, slightly out of his element but still in control, responds that he has no idea. Well, how much has it cost to date? Just $15-million. As I say, they like toys. They love problems that make them look like the important problem-solvers they are in the public eye. But sooner or later they tire of a new dinky-toy and start looking around for the next one. As for the dirt now hauled up from under the Concorde Pacific site, I dont know. What do you, gentle reader, think? Were they right in the fall of 1991 or are they correct in the fall of 1992? That's the 15-million dollar question. But dont you worry. Their next plaything may be even more costly. Merry Christmas! That's what they've done By CARL G. STEWART When Pierre Elliott Trudeau came to power the total debt of Canada stood at $l6.7-billion. Canada had fought two world wars, been through a 10-year depression and all that was owed was $ 16.7-billion. After six years of Trudeau (forget about Joe Clark's hour as prime minister) and Canadian taxpayers were on the hook for $200- billion. Along comes Mulroney and the scene goes from bleak to black. This government has plunged us into so much debt that it takes $42-billion a year to pay the interest on the debt (or $200 for every man, woman and child who files an income tax form) just to service our debt. It takes all the cash collected from corporate income tax, all cash collected from the GST, all the money collected from other sales taxes, plus a few billion more just to pay the interest and this 4tt^. «. 4 government is still borrowing $30-billion a year on top of that. Next time anyone asks what Trudeau and Mulroney have done for Canada's youth, you can tell them the truth. Thanks, firemen! Editor, The Star, Sir, My wife and I would like to thank the firemen of Aldergrove Fire Hall #7 for attending my call at 964 - 256 Street on November 29, after I experienced a fire in the kitchen of our home.

WIN & TOM THOMPSON AUtergrove LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - More letters on pages 29-30 Will doctors Government action 'mercenary' take on leadership role? Editor, The Star, Sir, We wonder if doctors in our province, who should be very concerned about health care financing, are prepared to publicly support i Health Minister Elizabeth Cull's opposition to the proposed Bill C-91. This Bill will provide patent protection -for huge drug manufacturers that are already reaping huge profits. With transfer payments from the federal government decreasing, the cost to the provinces of providing health care services will dramatically increase if the Bill passes. Will doctors take a collective leadership role and speak out against this destructive federal legislation and its resulting financial constraints? MARY WILLIAMS B.C. People with Disabilities Love the people Editor, The Star, Sir, I wish to express my thanks to the A.O.A.P.O. for nominating me as a candidate for the Aldergrove citizen award for 1992. I was honored at the Chamber of Commerce meeting with a lovely supper and presented with a plaque. The Hilda Reddick Memorial Community Service award was presented by the Kinsmen. Aldergrove has been my home for forty-six years and is where our family has grown up. There have been great changes in this time but I still love the area and the people. MARY SANDERSON Aldergrove Editor, The Star, Sir, There's a petition being circulated around some of our immunities opposing the so- called "Infant's Consent Act", which has already passed quiedy through three readings in our legislature, and requires only the Lieutenant Governor's signature to become law. What is the Infant's Consent Act? In the extreme, it says if your children can be brainwashed into even passively acquiescing to a medical procedure dike an abortion or vasectomy or other such nonsense - as I said, "in the extreme"), then they will legally be deemed to have "consented" to the procedure 'and there is literally nothing we a parents can do about it "Oh, but that's not the intent", they say, claiming it's really to protect our .childrcin from such nonsense as that child that rcxendy died because of parental refusal to medical procedures due to "religious" beliefs. I couldn't agree more. Of course. where life is threatened, there should be a way to step in and protect life. But the problem is as usual they're using an extreme exception in order to establish a general rule. Together with the "Consent" act, they want to establish "health" clinics in all the high schools right across Canada. Why? Because what they really want is to make abortion on demand readily available to our teens because they also know that due to their so-call<2d "family planning" courses there will be musch increased sexual activity among teens that they will "forget" to use condoms so there will be a corresponding rise in teen pregnancies, which they will quickly and quiedy sweep under the rug by making it legal for our kids to give even passive "consent" to an abortion, and the parents won't even know. Is there a motive for governments to aggressively push such a concept? Absolutely! It's purely mercenary. The "Tissue Trade" is becoming the business of the future for the social engineers in our governments. And what better source of fresh "raw" materials than among our nice, strong, healthy teens? Believe it or not, once the smoke-screens are cleared away, the whole scheme plays like the money and power games that generate every cheap paperback novel on the market. And the above petition that I'm promoting7 It may help, but it's copied on non-recycled, chlorine bleached white paper, produced from clearcut old growth timber by non-unionized white, non-handicapped males, many of them over thirty, so I don't know.

DECEMBER 17. 1992 It is now time to wake up! By ADEL KALINICHENKO The difference in time between my home in St. Petersberg, Russia and the house of my friends in Aldergrove is eleven hours. When it is day here it is night in Moscow and St. Petersberg. Now in Russia it is not yet the night but still not the morning. I mean the night of Communism which was in our country for more than seventy years. In its darkness there were not only millions of people killed, but also freedom and normal human life were destroyed. At the end of August, 1991 after the failed attempt of the Communist cx>up, Yeltsin, the president of Russia, prohibited the Communist Party. Those of Democratic views left the Communist Party at the very beginning of Perestroika. Now the Communists had to leave the beautiful, ancient palaces that have been occupied by their committees. They stopped their leadership in economics, ideology, and education. Freedom came to Russia and the first to use it were' the journalists. It seems to me that now journalists are the happiest people in the country because we can speak about what we think and feel at last. For many years we have not had this opportunity. But to give this freedom and to make a normal life for people is not the same thing. We under- stand it now. For more than seventy years the Russian economic system did not know the word "market". To organize it now is not easy because of the shortcomings of our laws, lack of ex- perience, and a shortage of honest businessmen. If there is no market there is no merchandise. Most people live at the pov«2rty level, especially pensioners. In the stores there are long lines for food, but not for clothing, lhe reason is that food is a necessity for today, but clothing could wait until tomorrow. Nobody knows when this "tomorrow" will come. There is terrible inflation in Russia. In April, 1992, a dollar was worth 130 rubles. Now it is worth 400. That is why salaries are so terribly small. A doctor, teacher, or engineer earns less than eight dollars a month. When the inflation began the old people lost all the money they had saved during their lives. As a result more and more people begin to remember the Communist past with love. The life was easier in those years. Now it is a common sight to see Communists meeting on the streets and squares with their portraits of Lenin and Stalin. Very often they have united meetings with Fascists who demand to throw all Jews from the government. But there was never a Jew in government because the politics of the Communist system was absolutely always antise- mitic. Now the Fascists and Communists speculate about the myth of Jewish leadership in Russia. It was typical for Fascist Germany in the years of the Great Depression. It is now-like this in my country. The Communists desire to overthrow Yeltsin and his government. Each day it becomes more evident that the poor society does not need freedom. Real freedom can only exist in a rich country. The poor man is a slave of the difficulties of life. For seventy years the country lived in a birdcage: Now the door has been opened and there is permission to fly away. But the bird which lived in prison cannot get the food herself and doesn't know where to fly. She can lose her way and die. She wants back into the birdcage. I am very sorry for this big and beautiful bird whose name is "Russia". Especially here in Canada where I see normal human life. The main idea is that life must be joyful. Life cannot be an eternal battle for existence as it is in Russia. I don't want to give the impression to the readers of Russia as a wild and backward country. It has indeed wild and backward economics and technology. But people who live in Russia are generally cultured and intelligent people. They are tired of difficulties but they read classic literature, appreciate the arts, and they have deep souls and broad viewpoints about the world. Some days ago, three Canadian women asked me, "Is it permis- sable for Russian ladies to wear pants?" Maybe my answer to them wasn't polite. I said, "We not only wear pants, but even bears do not walk on our streets." There are a lot of foolish fairy tales about Russia, but they are far from the truth. Indeed our life is more tragic than you can imagine and less fun. Maybe you will agree with me that only cruel people can laugh when somebody suffers. I am sure that Canadians are not cruel. Russians are the same as all people in the world. They are diverse; clever and foolish, kind and angry. But the common feature for Russians, yesterday and today, is that they are not happy. I do not know about tomorrow. Still I hope. We have the time of early dawn now. Yet it is dark. And that is why we cannot see the path on which to go. But the sun is rising. It is the time to wake up. It means to live, to work, to love. Last week we had a visit by a young journalist from Russia. Adel Kalinichenko has been traveling In British Columbia for the past few weeks and will soon be returning to St.Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) where she works for the daily newspaper 'Nevskoye Vremya', a publication with Just under 50,000 circulation. Adel asked if she could write an article for us, and we thought our readers would be interested in getting the 'Inside story' on life In the heartland of the former Soviet Union in the year 1992.

Gold Keys show skill, imagination ALDERGROVE - Aktergrove Gold Key United travelled to Bear Creek Park in Surrey on Sunday, D«2C. 13 to play West Fraser in the Prernier division of Fraser Valley league soccer. The first half was a fast-paced well-played game with both teams displaying skill and innovation on the field. This created many chances for each team. Aldergrove Gold Key broke the ice first scoring at the 19 minute mark on a goal well- taken by Dave Soothill. West Fraser replied to that goal by one of their own at the 30 minute mark, this goal again the result of excellent build-up. This goal by West Fraser spurred Gold Key and they began to slowly take over this segment of the game resulting in another great goal by Joe Deaoon at the 40 minute mark. Half-time score 2-1 for Gold Key. The second half Gold Key came out where they had left off in the first half, working hard trying to notch thek third goal, but were thwarted time and again by the West Fraser goalie who had lady luck on his side on several occasions. Aldergrove having been denied that third and insurance goal began to tire in the later stages of the game, thus letting West Fraser back into it. Ctedit to West Fraser for not giving up, and they were rewarded with a tying goal with four minutes to go. Final score 2- 2. Valley loses to champs FORT LANGLEY - Eraser Valley United under l6's travelled to Hugh Boyd Oval last Saturday to play B.C. champions, Richmond United in Metro league action, and came away with a 3-1 loss. Valley opened the scoring at the 10 minute mark with a rebound goal by Derrick Turi off Steve Lewis's shot at the Richmond keeper. Then, 16 minutes later, it was Richmond's turn to score to make the game one all. With just five minutes left in the first half, Valley had an unfortunate hand ball in the 18 yard box, resulting in a penalty goal to give Richmond a 2-1 lead at half time. Valley came out strong and pushed hard for the entire second half, but lady luck was against them, with all their shots going off the posts or going wide. Richmond scored thek last goal in the dying seconds of the game, when Valley, pushing for a tying goal with every man up, got caught by a Richmond breakaway. By JAY DICKINSON ALDERGROVE - Last Saturday, the efforts of the Aldergrove Thunderbkds Under 11 travelling team were rewarded with an early Christmas gift for themselves and thek coaches. The team completed their 1992 season with an important win against the Langley Gunners. The 2-1 victory completes a five game streak without a loss for the "Birds". It was an especially important game as the Gunners have given the Aldergrove team some trouble in the past. This win has earned the team a solid second place standing in thek league. Both goals were scored by Aaron Peace who has been playing exceedingly well for the Thunderbirds. The whole team deserves commendation for a fine all out effort It is great for the coaches to see the boys play so well together and enjoy themselves at the same time. The team will take a well earned rest over the holiday season and we look forward to keeping you up to date of our efforts in the new year.

BOTH ■ Hoop players are active on weekend THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 17. 1992 Winning streak extends to four ABBOTSFORD - Both UCFV men and women's basketball teams were active this past weekend. On Friday, Ds»c. 11 the local Cascades played host to Highline Community College of Seatde. The women's game was a lopsided affair, with the UCFV squad dominating their opponent. By half time the Cascades had an impressive 15 point lead M-19. During the 2nd half Highline fought to get back into the game, but couldn't handle the sharp play of UCFV guards Danielle Moe (9 pts.), and Tritua Grant (11). They created many turnovers, and threw superb passes to high scoring post Denise Rehman (18) and forward Sue Parke (13). Final score UCFV 62-Highline 34. The men's game was a thriller. Fast paced first half action resulted from the excellent play of UCFV guards Jason Watson who played his best Cascade game thus far, captain Mark Wapples (©, and Highline's Justin White (17). Down 43-37 at the half, the C's began an intense come back. Chris Spence (9) and Vince Van Dyk (12) both provided key baskets to tie the score at 78 with 40 seconds left. Highline hit a crucial shot, and the Cascades had 12 seconds to respond. The UCFV had two chances, with a missed layup, and the rebounded tip going off the rim. They finished the game 2 down, Highline 80-UCFV 78. Watson was high scorer with 28 points. On Saturday the Cascade men were back in action against Camosen College of Victoria. Since Camosen is just beginning their sports program, coacdi Phil Ohl (National Team) was allowed to sub in when the score became too lopsided for the UCFV squad. This made for an interesting, if somewhat bizarre game. The Cascades were 15 points ahead in the first half when Ohl came into the game. By half time the score was UCFV 41- Camosen 36. In the 2nd half the UCFV squad was 25 ahead when Ohl subbed in, and between his aggressive style, suspect officiating, and poor shooting by the Cascades at the line, Camosen was able to not only get back into the game, but almost win. Final scx>re UCFV 89-Camosen 87. Top scorers for the C's were Vince Van Dyk with 18 points, and Chris Spence with 17. J. Martin scored 26 for Camosen. UCFV women are back in action this Wed.

Game is at the Clearbrook Community Centre at 6 p.m. Men play Edmonds on Tues., Dec. 22 in Clearbrook at 4 p.m. ALDERGROVE - Sunday Dec. 6, Pewee B's travelled to West Van for a close exciting game with good skating, great passing and no penalties. Matt Holmes unassisted marker put 'Grove on the scoreboard iri the first period, followed very shortly by a West Van goal. Darren Caldwell added one of his own, but the lonely goal scored during the second period was the home team's, making a cliff hanger 2-all tie! Into the 3rd period West Van scored again, Caldwell tied it back up with an assist from Cliff Carlsen. Holmes scored again assisted by Delayne Dupuis. Caldwell added another from Carlsen for a hit trick. Final score in this thrilling contest was 5-4 for 'Grove. Netminder John Enns made 21 stops. Aldergrove hosted Burnaby Winter Club, Mon. Dec. 7.

DECEMBER 17. 1992 ALDERGROVE - It's Thursday Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. and there is loud music playing over the arena sound system, so that could only mean one thing. The Aldergrove Valley Gravel Sales Atom "A" Bruins are about to hit the ke. Tonight they are taking on Chilliwack, a team they have already played four times in Chilliwack losing all four games, but tonight was going to be different as the Bruins were playing on home ke for a change. Both teams jumped out of the starting gate at an amazing pace going end to end forcing both goalies to make some spectacular saves, but neither team was able to score. The second period featured more of the same edge of your seat action as Aldergrove . continued putting the pressure on the Chilliwack team, only to have the Chilliwack goalie turn thek shots aside time and time again. At 5:10 Chilliwack notched thek first goal of the game but try as they might the Bruins were unable to even the score before the buzzer. Chilliwack jumped into a two goal lead early in the thkd only to see the lead reduced by one just 32 seconds later as B.J. Konschuh ended Chilliwack shut-out. The Bruins continued to put on the pressure and were finally rewarded at 8:56 when the 3M line connected to tie the game. Goal to Mike Roberts, assist to Matt Roberts and Mike Haber. At 7:24 Chilliwack '"N. managed to get thek thkd goal of the night past netminder Davis Parley and again at 5:41 to end the. game with a two goal lead. Final score Aldergrove 2, Chilliwack 4. Davis played an excellent game in net and without some of his great saves the score could have been much worse. All the boys played well and gave Chilliwack a run for thek money. Good work guys, keep it up. On Saturday, Dec. 12 the Bruins found themselves in Haney to take on the Ridge Meadows team. These two teams have met three times before with the Bruins having won two of the three, so tonight was expected to be a tough game. Again both teams came out strong battling for the puck. Josh Macknee started the scoring at 10.11 of the fkst taking a shot a strange angle which the Ridge Meadows goalie didn't even see and in it went, much to the delight of the Aldergrove boys. At 7:46 Paul Daley put a neat pass onto the stick of Dustin Goodman to put him in the clear and Dustin made no mistake as he put the puck past the Ridge Meadows netminder to give the Bruins a two goal lead. Both teams continued to press but neither team was able to capitalize. Ridge Meadows opened the scoring in the second period at 13:40 sneaking one by Bruins goalie Josh Letkeman. The rest of the second was filled with fast paced excitement as both teams strived for another goal, but it was not to be and the Bruins took a one goal lead into the thkd. The two teams continued the action into the thkd fighting for the puck and taking numerous shots on the nets only to be thwarted at both ends. Then Aldergrove ran into penalty troubles. Paul was fkst in the box with a four minute penalty and then 45 seconds later Ben Henthorne was penalized for two minutes. To make matters worse Steven Schulz went into the box with 2:44 left in Paul's penalty. Ridge Meadows then really put on the pressure taking shot after shot on the Aldergrove net only to be denied by netminder Josh, who played a super game, time and time again. In the end Aldergrove was able to kill off all three penalties and just to put the icing on the cake Scott Robinson put in an empty net goal with just 10 seconds left in the game. Defenseman Chris Colonval played his best game so far this year and was on the ice the whole time the Bruins were short handed and did an excellent job of penalty killing. As usual the whole team played a great game and entertaining one too. If you want to see some great hockey, come down to the Aldergrove arena Thursday Dec. 17 at 8 p.m to watch the Bruins play thek last home game of the year vs. Coquidam. These two teams are one and one, should be an exciting game. fitwp you*, fiUeutU at Aldergrove Duty Free 264th Street Diversion, Aldergrove, B.C. 856-8867 Estate QOLF COURSE 3834 - 248th St., Aldergrove, B.C. 856-1181 or 533-8887 Extends warmest wishes this x Holiday Season. 10 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 17. 1992 Allied Peewee keep improving Hewitt Bruins coming on strong ALDERGROVE - The AUied Windows sponsored PeeWee 'A' team continues on the road to improvement although thek first vktory of the hockey season continues to be illusive. An impressive two goal effort by Nicholas Seguin, one unassisted and one assisted by Greg Maggio, wasn't enough to overcome the pesky Ridge Meadows PeeWee 'A' visitors on December 1st. Seguin and his teammates worked hard at both ends of the ice but the puck wasn't bouncing thek way at all as they ended up on the short end of a 4-2 score. The following Wednesday the team played the visiting Mission team and again after a good effort came up short on the game score. David Haber opened the scoring, assisted by Brent Adams and Sandy Brown, midway through the fkst period. In the second power period the Mission team came back with an even strength and power play score taking a 2-1 lead in to the thkd period. The thkd period featured end to end play but no scoring until the final minute when with the Aldergrove goalie, Ryan Leakey, pulled for an extra attacker, the Mission team was able to score making it 3-1 score and that was the way the game ended. A good effort but a frustrating outcome once again. Seguin's two goals pulls him in to a share of the team scoring lead with Brent Adams.

The Bruins last home game against a very strong team from Cloverdale, affectionately known as the "Jolly Green Giants" because of the large overall size of thek team players, was a case in point, as Clovsardale won handily in thek last meeting with the Bruins. Fkst period action was fast and furious, giving Kristopher Keith, the Bruins goalie, lots of work to do in net. Aldergrove was fkst on the scoreboard with a goal from Jeff Steer, assist David Mamchur. Cloverdale came back with an equilizer 90 seconds later, but unfazed, Aktergrove's Matthew Keith put Bruins ahead 5 minutes later with our second goal, assisted by Darcy Benson and Martin Nicola. Cloverdale pressed hard, and scored another before period end, to tie the score at 2 goals each. A very evenly matched period for both teams. Second period action saw the Hewitt & Company Bruins pull ahead by 1 goal, scored by Martin Nicola, assist Matt Keith. But, Cloverdale were not to be denied, and in a scoring surge, scored 3 goals in succession, the size and strength of the Cloverdale players beginning to tell the story. Period end score 6- 3 Cloverdale. Aldergrove showed determination in the final, period and scrimmaged well against Cloverdale, and there was no scoring until late in the period when Qoverdale scored again. This put some time in the Bruins play; and Aldergrove had thek fkst slapshot goal of the season, an absolute humdinger from Martin Nicola, assisted by Matt Keith and Tom Martin, that had the Cloverdale goalie beaten all the way. Final score 7-4 Qoverdale. A fine game, Aldergrove. In the post game meeting, Vi Laidman had put on a Christmas feast for the parents of players. Many thanks Vi! Coach Trig Mamschur and assistant Larry Laidman gave an overview of the team's progress this season to date, and concluded that the Hewitt & Company Bruins were on track with training and play. Team manager Tim Cassibo pronounced team fund raising to be in good shape, and that there would be a botde drive on Jan. 2. Finally, Larrie and Diane Clinton invited the whole- team over for burgers and a dip in the pool before Christmas.

Gabby's is back with a new look THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 17. 1992 11 LANGLEY - Gabby's Country Cabaret is back, in business, after owners Ron and Marilyn Bark- well had to totally renovate the dub in the aftermath of a September fire that caused extensive smoke damage. Gabby's has been giving local, country music fans the best goods for many years, long before the Garth Brooks of the industry made country music "hip" to a broader audience. The homey wooden structure has hosted the greats like Ian Tyson, the touring club acts like Rock N Horse, and the Sunday night Kelly's Jam has played host to a variety of local talents (and should we say, the occasional no-talent?). In all seriousness, despite the emergence of new clubs in the valley many have missed their old standby.

Improvements have also been made to the sound system and the bar, and Friday night's opening proved the wait was worth it. A good crowd turned out to wish the Barkwells well and to hear Backseat Driver perform after their recent four month working holiday in Seville, Spain. The band performed seven days a week at the Expo site, and according to the two Sandys, Montana and Shepherd they thoroughly .enjoyed every moment of it. "I'd like to do some more travelling," commented Shepherd, with a wistful, faraway look in his eyes. Shepherd added that they did a lot of rockabilly and old rock 'n' roll, along with their familiar country sound for the Expo gig, which of course gave guitarist/fiddler Gary Com- eau plenty of opportunity to shine on vocals. The only loss was that drummer Lome Burns has decided that he's had enough music for now and has rejoined the work-a-day world, and the band now features a fresh young fellow on the kit. This week, Gabby's features Langley's finest, Lord. Jordan and her band. Jordan, like a Tanya Tucker, has a lot of rough edge to her vocals and she will help •celebrate the return of the club in real style. The dance lessons are back on stream Monday through Thursday, and a great New Year's bash is planned, too. See their ad for details, or call 533-3111. Just remember to bring along a designated driver if you're planning to party hearty, or save some cash for a cab.

Choral Group busy in concerts By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - The count down is here - only ten days until Christmas and are you ready? This has been a busyweek for seniors or so it seems for this senior. The Choral Group has been singing at several events; today at the Food Bank benefit concert along with students from the Betty Gilbert school. We were honored to have Mr. George Ives attend, not many concerts can brag of having someone 111 years old in the audience. The O.A.P. dinner was a huge success. Everyone I spoke to enjoyed the evening. The food was delicious and the atmosphere so pleasant. Thanks to the members of the Free Evangelical Church. Bowling this week as usual was fun. About 14 came out for the afternoon. Mind you it was not as competitive and noisy as men against women but nonetheless it was a fun afternoon. Around 60 attended the Wednesday dance. 50-50 went to Franceska and Herb Fakler. There was a good crowd for the Saturday dance. Door prizes were won by Herb Cunningham and Otto Schafer, both of Chilliwack. 50-50 went to Stan Hay, Frank Muff and Lois Deguire. Winners of the spot dance were Thelma Brunskill and Mike Pitts. Didn't get the names of the second spot winners. Florence and George Deguire will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary on Dec. 20. A tea is to be held in Queen's Park at the Centennial pavilion from 2 o'clock until 5- This is an open invitation to all dancers or anyone interested in wishing the Deguires happiness on their 60th wedding celebration. The Deguires' son and daughter-in-law were at the Saturday dance with their movie camera getting shots of people at the dance. This should interest Florence and George. The White Rock players annual Christmas pantomine "Sinbad" is well worth seeing if you enjoy a good laugh The scenery and props were excellent, makes you wonder how they get it all together. The monthly meeting of the Thrift Shop was held Dec. 7, slightly smaller attendance due to sickness and the busy schedule. Sales for the month were Deanna Snell Born December 17, 1976 Loveya!

THE ALDfefiGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 17. 1992 13 Warkentin chosen by local Liberals ALDERGROVE - At a crowded meeting Thursday evening, December 10 at the Best Western in Aldergrove the Fraser Valley West Liberal Association acclaimed Matsqui businessman Peter Warkentin as their candidate to contest the next federal election. Nominated by Langley lawyer Michael LeDressay, Warkentin first thanked long term Liberals for their dedication in "holding the fort" in the lean years, and then he pledged to lead the federal Liberals to electoral victory in Fraser Valley West. In his acceptance speech, Warkentin outlined the basis of an eight-point economic plan he has proposed to reduce unemployment, reduce the deficit and preserve essential government programs. The plan included stimulus to investment in plants and equipment, a reordering of priorities at the Bank of Canada to end their "fixation on the jitters of the Canadian dollar", and investment in infrastructure. Warkentin praised liberals for creating Canada's health system and stated that the way to protect essential government programs is to create a healthy economy. Peter Warkentin The Matsqui building contractor, who has personally created hundreds of jobs, said MPs should take personal responsibility for creating private sector employment in their ridings. He said that "If MPs spent half as much time working on job creation as they do fretting about their ridiculous pensions, we would be well on our waf^to< economic recovery." Warkentin repeatedly tied overall national economic health and deficit reduction to levels of employment and stated that a careful liberal strategy to solve high unemployment levels would solve most other economic problems as well. He blamed high unemployment rates for a host of social problems which he said are aggravated by financial hardship and poverty. Peter and his wife Judi have lived in the area since 1978. They now live at 2810 Bradner Road and have three school aged children. Warkentin graduated from Simon Fraser university in 1974 with a social science degree and has followed a career in business management. He founded Fraser Valley Forest Produtcts Ltd. in 1978 and was western president of Premdor until this year. He is currently president of Common- plex Construction Ltd. of Matsqui. Peter and Judi have been very active in community service. At the present, Peter is chairman of the privatssly funded 'Public j Schools Technical Assistance Fund' and is involved^in an expansion project at the Mennonite Educational Institute. Active as a volunteer in several federal Liberal campaigns, this will be the fkst campaign where Peter himself will run for public elected office. A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Tips for reducing stress The holiday season is a wonderful time of year for many of us but sometimes because there is so much to do we can push ourselves beyond healthy stress levels. So I thought it would be timely to talk about stress, what it is and how we can reduce it. Stress has been defined by stress expert Eli Bay as "the rate of wear and tear on your body which results from the arousal of the 'fight or flight' mechanism activated in response to real or imagined threats." When we perceive a threat, he says, a complex flow of hormones, including adrenalin, automatically flow into our blood stream and activate all of our alarm mechanisms: raising our blood pressure and heart rate to take more oxygen to our muscles, raising our blood sugar levels for a burst of energy, our muscles tense up, our digestion slows down, our senses become more heightened and our .capacity to think diminishes. This all happens in a flash, our bodies are programmed to read this way which served us well when we dwelled in caves but today is a contributing factor to some illnesses. S^ftfc In our complex world we experience rapidly accelerating changes which we sometimes perceive as threatening. "Because our bodies haven't changed since we lived in caves our natural reaction is stress. All of us, just by waking up in the morning in the last years of the 20th .century, have to live in bodies which are aroused to fight or run constantly," says Bay. There are signals that indicate we are experiencing unhealthy levels of stress including: headaches, sleep problems, fatigue, body tension and pain, grinding teeth, mild depression, irritability, indigestion, constipation, poor concentration, racing heart, elevated blood pressure, high cholesterol counts, memory lapses, aggression, and anxiety are among the most common. The level of success we enjoy in managing stressful situations is generally determined by the ways in which we interpret, cope with or adjust to them, according to Lois Shoebridge, Director of Social Work at Langley Memorial .Hospital. According to experts, she says, the key to surviving stress effectivssly includes three basic techniques: 1) Be aware when stress is building and take immediate positive action. 2) Interpret work or life events in a different less stressful way. 3) Use methods such as relaxation, meditation, regular exercise and leisure routines, or talking with family and friends to decrease stress.

Over the past fifty years, Canada and Canadians have gone through many (changes, but what has not changed is the wish of every par«^nt to raise their children in the best .conditions possible. The federal government already spends 4.5-billion dollars a year on programs for children. With the new Child Tax Benefit, it will spend an additional 2.1- billion dollars on federal child benefits over the next five years. The new benefit will come in tax-free monthly payments, usually to the child's mother, lhe size of the benefit will be based on family income and the number and age of the children in the family. The government is redirecting child benefits to low- and mod- est-income families. Under the new program, most families with incomes below $50,000 will receive increased annual benefits. All families with an annual income up to $67,000, will receive some level of benefit For families with three or more children, payments will be made at income levels above $67,000. Low-income 'working families will receive an earned income supplement of up to $500 a year. Families moving from social assistance to the workforce often face greater financial difficulties as a result of job-related expenses. The supplement will help to cover such expenses for low- income working families who, in 1991, earned between $3,750 and $25,921. During November of this year, the federal government mailed notices to family allowances clients telling them whether or not they are entitled to the new benefit and if so, how much they will receive. A toll free number has been set up for anyone with questions: in English 1-800-387- 1193, or in French 1-800-387-1194, or TDD CTelecommunication Device for the Deaf) 1-800-665- 0354. Government sources explain that the new benefit will be simpler and fairer than the old system, and more generous to low- and modest-income Canadians. iach year, ICBC announces insurance premium changes affecting BC motorists. While these receive lots of attention, other changes have been made to give you the most appropriate Autoplan coverage. Changes are effective immediately on new policies and January 1, 1993, on renewals: What's new? * tCBC needs an additional 9.5% tn total premium income to meet anticipated claim caws ■ Higher Driver faint Premiums starting at four points, not five. ■ Daily Autoplan renewals. ■ t ndertnsured Motorist ProtectwnfVMP) limit* changed to $1 million. « Higher muttmtm deductibles for Coltmon £ Comprehensive. * Weekly disability payments start an 8th day. * Optional propane or CNOfnel conversion equipment coverage how ayatlahfe. Higher premiums ICBC requires an additional 9.5% in total premium income in 1993 to ensure that funds are available to pay claims. Higher Driver Point Premiums One way ICBC makes "bad drivers" pay more is through Driver Point Premiums which go into the Autoplan Fund to help reduce costs for the rest of us. These premiums are being increased once again so that drivers caught breaking traffic regulations pay more. Also, drivers will now be billed for Driver Point Premiums once they have accumulated four points, not five.

DECEMBER 17. 1992 Council of councils talks about $2-billion projects Chamber chooses winners BURNABY - Taxpayers in the Greater Vancouver region could be facing capital expenditures of $2.2-billion dollars between now and the year 2000 to pay for regional services such as high quality drinking water, solid waste reduction, recycling and disposal, higher levels of sewage treatment, improved air quality, enhanced hospital facilities and. regional parks. That's what ovssr 100 mayors and councillors from 21 municipalities were told at the first- ever Council of Council's meeting held in Burnaby on the weekend. The purpose of the meeting, organized by the GVRD was to gather input from municipal councils on the GVRD's long range financial plan, the Creating Our Future process and a review of regional mandates. "It was a very good forum for mayors and councillors to express their concerns and their hopes for the region," ' said GVBD chairperson Gordon Campbell. "I think it's clear we have to work together to preserve the quality of life in our region." Discussion about the GVRD's long range financial plan culminated in an agreement by municipal councils to meet again as a group in 1993 to review cost implications of regional services on local taxpayers. I Port Moody mayor David Driscoll, chair of the GVRD's finance and government relations committee, said that if the region implements projects that the public Wants - such as improved air quality, improved water quality, and secondary sewage treatment - the annual price tag ranges from $196- million in 1992 to almost $430- million in the year 2000. The average impact on a single family home per $100,000 assessed value would rise from $137 in 1992 to $250 by the year 2000. That's an annual increase of 10.2 percent over the next eight years. Some municipal councillors noted that the GVRD's 1993 provisional budget, whi<ch totals $219-million, contains few new projects other than those legislated by the federal and provincial governments. These include secondary sewage treatment, solid waste reduction and disposal and increasing dam stability at Seymour Falls in case of earthquakes. Dkector Driscoll said if taxpayers are upset about the cost of regional services they need to rethink the urgency of proj«2cts they've asked the GVRD to carry out. "Everytime people stand up and say we want clean water, we want clean air, we want secondary treatment, we want hospitals, it costs more money," said Driscoll. "You can't say we want these projects and then say I won't accept the bill." At Saturdays meeting, mayors and councillors also reviewed the GVRD's Creating Our Future document, a series of actions to maintain and preserve the livability of the region. Creating Our Future '92 continues and supports the extensive commitment to public and municipal involvement - a hallmark of the original process. More than 4,000 people were involved initially in the project, and a further 2,000 have been involved in the process since its adoption in July 1990. A final draft of Creating Our Future, incorporating changes and comments from Saturday's meeting, will be available in early 1993 to give the public, other levels of government and the private sector an up-to-date statement of regional goals. Saturday's meeting also dealt with a report from the Task Force on Regional Land use and Transportation Planning Mandates. The task force, formed in July 1992, refined a proposal for a consensus-based model for regional land use and transportation planning. Comments from Saturday's meeting will be incorporated into a revised report, which will be circulated to councils for further input by the end of January.

DECEMBER 17. 1992 17 How to buy a Christmas tree for a mere 25 cents By JOHNNY LUCAS This year my Christmas tree is going to be in Africa, and if you're on my Christmas list, you'll be receiving a T-shirt, sweatshirt or a poster certifying that more trees are being planted in your name! We're never going to see those trees, but we'll enjoy many years of Christmas spirit from knowing they're there. Plant a Tree in Africa sells beautiful T-shirts ($25) and sweatshirts ($35) that make welcome Christmas gifts - and very nice posters that are also certificates to say that trees have been planted in someone's name. Many of the people on my Christmas list really don't need very many gifts, at least they don't need anything I can afford to give them. A tree in Africa is something none of them have already, and it's a simple idea that I like. Those trees are going to be more welcome Christmas morning than any questionable scarf, tie or tea cosy. Any my gifts will last longer too. Before next Christmas our "trees" will sparkle with hope for a better life for drought and famine stricken Africa. A lot to ask from a few trees? Yes it is, but trees are equal to the task. In African droughts some trees retain water in thek roots and add it along with nutrients to the soil. Lines of trees protect crops from sun and wind and hold the soil so tenaciously that they are really the only defense against the creeping desert that takes over farmland. Fruit and nut trees provide food direcdy, and all trees actually help increase rainfall by adding moisture to the air. My trees are not going to cause any significant rainstorms all on their own, but they're not going to be i m Artist Barbara Klunder shows off her design for the Plant A Tree In Africa sweatshirts. alone. My trees will be among 25 million trees under the care of Plant a Tree in Africa, a program of Canadian Physicians..for Aid and Relief. This is ah organization whose experience in the field has led them to take a proactive, not just a reactive approach. As well as responding to emergencies, CPAR works to remedy the causes of health and environmental emergencies. Deforestation is the major underlying cause of environmental degradation. All these trees are indigenous and drought-resistant. In the last four years most trees in the Plant a Tree in Africa program have been planted in Ethiopia where they've been very badly needed. On 1950, 40% of that country was forested, today i|§ Those last minute gifts Christmas Shopping Hours 12 Monday - Friday Saturday Sunday Christmas Eve Christmas Day Boxing Day Santa's Hours Monday - Friday 2-4 and 6 - 8 p.m Saturday & Sunday 2 - 4 p.m Have your photo taken with Santa and enter to win a Christmas tiger. 9:30 a.m. 9:30 a.m. 11:00 a.m. 9:30 a.m. Closed 9:30 a.m. 9:00 p.m. 5:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. 4:30 p.m. 5:30 p.m. this famine-plagued country has a mere 4% tree cover.)

Planting a tree is something we can all understand. It's a very low-tech solution. It's basic and it works. Plant a Tree in Africa itself is a pretty basic organization. It vises less than 9% of its budget for administration (up to 15% is considered very good). The bottom line is that 25 cents will plant a tree where it's needed most.

If you're on my Christmas list, this is going to be a green Christmas for you. At only 25 cents for each tree, I think that I'm going to be able to afford my own litde forest.

DECEMBER 17. 1992 Christmas-time pet hazards VANCOUVER - The Christmas season is a wonderful time for family and friends to get together, however all the hubbub and excitement around the house can be stressful or even dangerous for your family pet. The British Columbia Veterinary Medical Association wants to ensure that your pets have a happy and healthy holiday season and offer the following simple suggestions for pet safety: -Keep plastic and foil trimmings away from cats don't put catnit toys on Christmas tree. -Route electric extension cords safely so pets can't chew on them. -Keep decorative glass balls tree and the and ribbons out of your pet's reach. -Make sure pets can't chew on edible popcorn chains. Decorative Christmas plants such as mistletoe, die yew plant, Jerusalem cherry and holly may be toxic to animals. Be alert for signs that they may have been chewing on the plants - vomiting, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, coma - and get veterinary help immediately. The traditional turkey dinner is not good for your pet. Rich table, scraps can cause vomiting or diarrhea, poultry bones may splinter causing serious internal damage. Keep your pet on their regular diet over the holidays and make sure they get plenty of exercise and rest. Tips for a safe Xmas season VANCOUVER - The Christmas trees and decorations are going up and everywhere is the husde and busde of last minute preparations. Keep the season joyous by making it a safe and Power Smart one. When you put up those Christmas lights, check them carefully. Over time the insulation may have become worn, frayed or cracked. Replace any light strings which show signs of wear and tear. Check to ensure all lights are Canadian Standards Association approved. The same advice applies to any extension cords used with Christmas lighting. Make sure they are in good condition. Be especially cautious outdoors. Rain or melted snow can get through damaged insulation, creating a possible hazard. If in doubt, replace the cord. It is best to use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI's) for outdoor lights. Avoid the electrical service wire coming into your home when hanging outdoor lights. Do not drag lights over the service wire. Never hang lights on any tree or structure near power . lines. Take care to avoid running extension cords under rugs. Take time to pull cords out of sockets properly, by the plug, not the <x>rd! Don't overload your circuits with Christmas lighting. If a fuse or circuit breaker trips when you plug your lights in, rearrange them to plug in elsewhere, or reduce the number of lights at that location. Artificial metal trees will conduct electricity so it is recommended that instead of Christmas light strings, you use some type of flood lighting. Keep a natural tree in water to keep it moist and minimize the fire hazard. Christinas lighting, entertaining, and cooking all use more electricity, making the holiday season the time when Hydro records the highest electricity demand of the year. Be Power Smart when you plan your Christmas decoration lighting. Select strings or replace burnt out bulbs with energy efficient ones (five watt rather than the normal seven watt) and use miniature bulbs indoors since they are only a fraction of the wattage of regular bulbs. For the most efficient oper ation, don't turn your Christmas lights on until dusk. Turn them, off at bedtime or use a timer to switch them off at a slightly later hour. Never leave tree lights on if there is no one at home. Further cuts to transit spending VANCOUVER - BC Transit has announced another $5-million in spending cuts for 1992-93 and the elimination of a further five administrative positions. The savings are in addition to the $20-million in spending cuts made earlier this year, following a review of B.C. Transit's spending plans by the new board of directors appointed in June. This round of cuts will further reduce spending in many areas, including spending on consultants, travel, and office equipment and supplies. A freeze on all non-essential hiring of administrative employees was also announced by BC Transit chair, Eric Denhoff. The positions eliminated were four communications-related positions and one senior manager's position in the special projects area. "BC Transit will continue to reduce expenditures by identifying unnecessary or duplicated overheads," says Denhoff.

When buying Christmas lights, look for the CSA mark. It protects you from fire .and shock heizards. • Before using any lights or electric decoration, check all wiring, sockets and plugs for fraying, cracks or loose connections. If at all in doubt, replace the old sets. • Be sure to check that bulb reflectors have insulation, consisting of either plastic or another non-metallic material, placed between the lamp and the metal part of the reflector. (Reflectors, which fit arong the bulbs, require CSA certification. The reflector is often sold with the Christmas light string). • Do not plug lights into a circut already burdened with lamps and appliances. • If a normal circut cannot take several sets of tree lights, do not replace the fuse with one of a higher amperage. • Never leave a bulb socket empty for small fingers to explore. • Always disconnect Christmas lights when your family is asleep or away from home. • Do not coil or bunch .an extension cord as it may cause overheating. Extension cords should not be walked on or run under a rug. Place extension cords so as not to present a tripping hazard. • Do not allow a cord to become trapped under appliances or heavy furniture which might result in crushing of the cord.

DECEMBER 17. 1992 "Just for teens" talk tackles project By ED MILLMAN ALDERGROVE - At the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, several meetings have been held over the past two months concerning the use of the facility by the teens of Aldergrove. Present at these meetings are representatives from the township of Langley's parks and recreation department, the Boys' and Girls' club of Aldergrove, the counselling staff of Aldergrove Secondary School, and interested youth - Caroline Spring and Christine Wight - also from Aldergrove Secondary School. During these meetings, this creative group of people have been 'putting thek heads together* in the interest of trying to develop a way to make the whole of the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre more 'user friendly' and welcoming towards area youth. Specifically, how do we work to best involve area youth in more constructive meaningful leisure activities using the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre as a base? It was decided that as a starting point, some of the existing facility would have to be renovated and upgraded. To that end, existing programming space has been brightened up through the addition of new blinds, carpets, and a coat of paint. Further, a door was installed that works to increase the access to existing programming space by connecting two adjacent rooms. In addition, it has been decided - based on feedback received from the sampling of a youth survey in the area - that the facility needs to acquke a number of items - a pool table, foosball table, ping-pong table, air hockey table, and some board games - in order to create the type of unstructured yet supervised atmosphere that, hopefully, will be exciting to area youth. It is anticipated that interested area youth will be undertaking a number of fundraising activities in order to raise the money needed for equipment purchases. Contained within thek fund- raising strategy will be a series of presentations to Aldergrove service clubs and community groups in general. Cleariy, it is in the best interest of the community as a whole to support and Arcades and 24-hour malls MURRAYVILLE - "Heaven forbid that we have 24-hour malls," Coun. John Scholtens commented Monday night. But, said Scholtens, that seems to be the trend in the US, and could come to Canada, too. Scholtens was speaking eloquently against a new municipal bylaw that will allow video arcades in Langley malls to stay open as long as the mall itself. "I will not support a bylaw Stop, and let me off MURRAYVILLE - "We should have stopped development in Langley in 1933, and you and I would be the only ones sitting at this (council) table today," Mayor John Beales said' Monday night. There were twinges of irony and irritation in his voice. Councilors were debating a bylaw that would allow high density residential zoning in the Murrayville area. Councilors John Scholtens and Muriel Arnason had expressed concern about the rapid growth. Scholtens had suggested the developer of a housing complex on 48 Avenue be asked to donate "X amount (of dollars) to park acquisition," and Arnason said that Langley was "not ready" for the development. "We'll need more of everything, schools and ...," she said. Bylaw was approved. Growth scares politicos MURRAYVILLE - Forty thousand people are moving to the lower mainland every year, Coun. Aubrey Searle told aldermen here Monday night. "That means thousands of new vehicles each and every year." Searle said the way growth is managed by politicians wiU have "a very important impact on how we are going to live here in the Fraser Valley." that encourages people to take thek children to an arcade with a plastic bag full of quarters," he said. He had earlier argued that the mall arcade constituted a "babysitting service." But Coun. Trudi Campen pointed out that an arcade wasn't really that different from a roller skating rink in terms of being a recreational facility, and Coun. Aubrey Searle said the bylaw amendment, introduced specifically for a business in Langley's Willowbrook mall, would not cause "the world going to ruin and damnation." The bylaw was passed. encourage the youth as they raise funds towards thek own 'ownership' of this worthwhile project. This initiative, when completed, will provide something for local teens to do in thek spare time. The facility will give them a chance to come together in a safe surrounding to meet new friends, socialize, and participate in a number of fun interesting active endeavors. The members of the organizing committee hope to see all interested Aldergrove teens at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre in the New Year as it is anticipated that this project will be completed by the end of February, 1993.

Learning to compost MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here have approved the expenditure of $16,500 to build and operate a 'compost demonstration garden1 next to a house at 4887 - 221 Street. Senior government has mandated that solid waste production be reduced by 50 percent by the year 2000, and the reduction of organic wastes into natural soil is seen by local politicians as a partial answer to the problem. They plan, through the 'demonstration garden1, to educate the public on how to get rid of garden and kitchen wastes by composting. if 0neeU*tf& from Bob's Barbershop open Monday's thru December Mon.-Sat. 8:30 to 5:00 We will close at 3:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. 27264 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove Season's Qreatings and a 1}(essecC 9sfew year fromJaco6, fi£t?t, Ihdma df staff at ALDERCITY MOTORS 856-2594 27441 Fraser Hwy., Aldergrove I , I , I.L* S.I.I J .^SLI Sears in the Countryside Mall 856-3212 ' , i rzrrr Here's hoping Saint Nick brings you and your loved ones much good luck and happiness this Christmas.

Parks and Recreation Corporation of the Township of Langley LANGLEY The Army needs you! ABBOTSFORD - The Salvation Army needs your help this holiday season. With jusjt tlays left before Christinas their fundraising (campaign is not quite at their halfway goal. Their kettles are pulling in cash and their mail appeal is, too, but there is only about $72,000 towards their $150,000 target. "I'm sure we'll be receiving donations long after the holiday, but it's a little worrying," said .community ministries director- Gary Johnson. Actually, Johnson said he would like to see $175,000 come in - the other $25,000 is for renovations to their new Care and Share Centre that must yet be paid for. "Our goal is higher this year," said Johnson. "We're growing here and we're doing more next year, too." Their new centre at Abbot Square Mall, 33933 Cyril Street (recently featured in The Star) provides a host of services for the public, but the rapid population growth in the valley makes it harder to keep up with demand, or rather need. The public is asked to put aside some change for the kettles in Aldergrove at the Safeway, store and the liquor store, and to send in the mail solicitation, too. The Army's services are always available to the needy in Aldergrove. For information call their centre at 852-9305. They also invite you to their candlelight service on Christmas Eve at 6 p.m. Large ICBC increases VANCOUVER - Up to 190,000 B.C. motorists due to renew auto insurance policies this month pay 30 to 50 percent more than they did when they last purchased Autoplan. This is due to the fart that they paid 1991 rates when they purchased policies for 1992. On December 13, 1991, ICBC announced rates for 1992 which involved an increase of 19 percent over 1991 premium levels. These rates came into effect on January 9, 1992. Following the announcement, approximately 35,900 policyholders immediately cancelled their 1991 policies and purchased new, replacement policies at 1991 rates to avoid the 1992 increase. In addition, 155,000 motorists renewed policies expiring December 31, 1991 and, because rates for 1992 were not yet in effect, their renewals were at 1991 jates. As a result, these people enjoyed a full year of coverage at premiums much lower than those paid by the rest of B.C. motorists. When they renew this month, their premiums will reflect both a 19 percent rate increase for 1992 and the 9.5 percent increase for 1993. Motorists who do not purchase collision coverage will see the largest increase. This is because the cost of collision has fallen for 1992 and 1993, offsetting premium increases for third party and comprehensive coverages. For example, the owner of a 1980 Ford Fairmont; with $1- million in third party liability and comprehensive with $100 deductible whose current policy was purchased at 1991 premium levels paid $511 for pleasure use only. The premium upon renewal this month will be $760 - a 48 percent increase. The owner of a 1989 Nissan Micra with the same policy as above plus collision with $300 deductible who paid $727 (the 1991 premium), will pay $948 when they renew this month. This represents a 30 percent increase as they "catch up" to 1993 premium levels. §1 ifel l!JliriM^%te,'C"Sl'''.Hi'. ", r1 ' I I ■ lii/ ii ^rfUflKraekJ? hi 'i I ■ BUflntiBM!

DECEMBER 17. 1992 TFA1 forms sent out in December A LITTLE TASTE OF ITALY by LYNDA deFOUW Well, 1 love food, but it has to be good. 1 mean really Good!! So I called up Italy Italy 2 for 1 and found out what quality ingredients and authentic Italian recipes can do. It was marvelous. After talking to Amedeo for a while, I found out why their food is so spectacular. Italy Italy makes fresh Pizza dough every day, which makes for a crispy crust. Hiey have 2 wonderfully special pizzas included in their Large Pizza ; menu. One is called Hot Sicilia Pizza, made with Eggplant. The eggplant is dipped in egg, floured and fried to perfection in olive oil. Mixed with the other toppings, the unique flavors are fantastic. Then there's the Fkenze Pizza which along with it's other toppings, include fresh spinach. The cheese is laid over the fresh spinach leaves, and it cooks while the pizza is baking. M-M-M! Also, Italy Italy has Lasagna Al Forno. It is made with fresh m egg noodles and only Italy Italy's best and healthiest ingredients. I asked why Italy Italy's prices were higher than most, and why they only offer 2 for 1 on pizza. But once I tasted their wares I found out. You pay for quality! Two other" "must try" items on the Italy Italy Amedeo taking orders. Marco preparing dough. menu are Italy Italy Salad and Fotcaccia Bread (which Amedeo has been so generous as to provide the recipe for below) is baked fresh in the store every day. With it's spices and olive oil it is a real taste treat. So if you love authentic Italian food, give Amedeo and Marco a call at Italy Italy. You wont regret it!! Ciao for Now! FOCACCIA BREAD Simple and soft Focaccia bread can be made with this easy dough recipe. For 6 people makes 500 gr. of dough. Mix 400 grams of flour with 25 grams^of fresh yeast (dissolved in a small amount of wats^r first) and a pinch of salt. Add some more water according to the texture of the dough to keep it consistent and soft. Leave to rise for at least 1/2 hour. Spread the dough onto a cookie sheet and leave it approximately 2 cm. high. Prick the top with a fork and sprinkle with oregano. Cook in a hot oven of 200° C for approximately 1 hour. Brush with a little olive oil when done and this holiday bread will brighten up any table setting.

This year, the form is being sent to all recipients in December 1992 instead of January 1993. Recipients whose family allowances payments are . deposited directly into their account at a financial institution, and those whose benefits ceased part way through the year, will receive the TFA1 forms at their home address, while recipients who still receive monthly cheques will have thssir TFA1 forms attached direcdy to their December cheque. The TFA1 forms will be needed to complete 1992 income tax returns. They are used to report the amount of family allowances received in the calendar year and to report the number of eligible children for the child tax credit. The 1992 tax return will be the last one on which recipients will report family allowances payments. Starting in January 1993, the new child tax benefit will replace the current family allowances program, as well as tax credits for children. The benefit also includes a supplement for low- income working families. The amount of the new monthly tax- free payment for each family will depend on the number and age of the children and family income.

As an O.A.P. I don't have a lot of money to spread around. Several times a week I visit by brother Alf at the rest home where he has lived for. the past 10 years. I try to take him some home baking and litde gifts when I go there. He is especially fond of crossword puzzle books. The last few months I have been taking him at l<east one a week. Every time I go there he complains that his puzzle book is completed and he wants another one. Last week, because I didn't believe he was that fast I picked up a completed book and discovered all the crosswords filled in and in different lettering from what Alf writes. Not only one different printing but several, even some done in red pen which my brother doesn't own. What do you suppose is going on? I have asked the day staff and they know nothing about it. I don't go out at night so I can't play detective then. I dont like the idea of hiding under his bed anyway. Signed: Help. Dear Help, Contact the supervisor/manager of your brother's rest home and discuss your problem with him/her. Obviously Alf has had some visitors at night "who are just as fond of crossword puzzles as he is. It is not fair to take advantage of your gifts when they could easily purchase thek own- books. Make it clear you want some action because' I wouldn't want to see you under that bed myself. • ♦ •♦♦ Dear Readers, If you haven't finished your Christmas shopping yet we received in the mail this week a brochure from the Canadian YOUR COMPLETE TECHNICAL STORE...

DECEMBER 17. 1992 25 Field Naturalists tackle local projects By DONNA HILL LANGLEY - Members of the Langley Field Naturalists are actively involved in many close- to-home wildlife projects. In addition to their monthly guest speakers and field trips, members spend enjoyable hours on three main conservation projects. Many people enjoy the serenity of Brydon Park lagoon without realizing that many naturalist volunteer hours go into its making, maintenance, and continual upgrading. Ducks of all kinds, osprey and even mink have been spotted on a regular basis. Many other marsh inhabitants also raise their young here in the spring and summer. Located on the Nicomeckl River west of 200 Street on 53 Avenue, it is an easily accessible destination for many birders. The club has even produced a brochure with a map for lagoon visitors. One of the most recent projects of the naturalists is the Land for Nature project Environmentally sensitive areas within Langley are nominated to be preserved. Members visit the sites, identify and record plants and animals in the area, and note any endangered species they find. Areas With the most different kinds of wildlife and unique habitats are recommended for pr«5servation. .So far, 23 sites have been nominated. One ongoing project is the Forslund-Watson property. Originally farmland, it was donated on the cx>ndition that it be preserved forever as wildlife habitat. The site is not open to the public in order to protect the plants and animals who make their homes here, lhe naturalist club is currently acting as property caretakers. Recently, the pond was re-dug to make it shallower and more attractive to waterfowl. Nut trees were also planted as a food source for many creatures. Red-tail hawks, eastern cottontails and towhees abound here. With Christmas around the corner, the naturalists' concerns turn to less fortunate people in the community. As a result, they are providing a single mom of a two-and-a half year-old a food hamper, turkey voucher and gifts to help make this Christmas special. If you would like to donate dollars or goods, please contact the president Readers are also invited to the Christmas meeting on Friday, Dec. 18, at 7:30 at the Langley Arts Centre at 4899 207 Street, to enjoy members' wildlife holiday slides and photos. Everyone is welcome to join the fun of wishing each other a Merry Critter Christinas! Treats will be available.

The new Act represents the fust important changes to the 1949 Bankruptcy Act, following six failed attempts to update the legislation in the last 17 years. Consumer and Corporate Affairs says this reform will create a better balance between the rights of different creditors and will facilitate financial reorganizations of companies and individuals. The long-awaited new law reflects and responds to the needs of Canadians in an evolving marketplace, and demonstrates the commitment of the government to put into place economic policies that will enhance Canadian competitiveness and prosperity," said minister Pierre Blais. Disigned to offer an alternative to bankruptcy and save jobs, the new legislation is good news for Canadian businesses and consumers faced with the challenges of an ever-changing economic environment. Highlights include: • measures to facilitate commercial reorganizations, giving businesses in difficulty a greater chance to survive and save jobs Think carefully about pets VANCOUVER - Pets are a delightful addition to the family and make wonderful gifts when given at the appropriate time. Pets shouldn't be given as a surprise gift, especially at Christmas. New pets, whethCT they be a young puppy or an older cat, need lots of attention, scare and time to help them setde into a hew home. Christmas, with all its hectic activity, is not the right time to introduce a new pet If you have a friend or family mssmber who you suspect might like to have a new furry companion, ask them if this is true. If yes, you could wrap up a certificate which promises them a dog or cat to be chosen after the holidays. Before you buy a pet, remember that there are thousands of wonderful, friendly animals in shelters waiting to be adopted into a new home. Your local SPCA .can provide you with a Christmas gift certificate which can be redeemed when you are ready for your new pet. • measures for consumer debtors such as the opportunity to make arrangements with creditors to prevent bankruptcy; a simpler and less expensive bankruptcy process; and the provision of debtor counselling •special protection for unpaid suppliers, including protection for farmers and fishermen as suppliers of perishable commodities • an increase from $500 to $2,000 in the amount workers can claim as preferred creditors in bankruptcy (in effect as of August 1, 1992) • an exemption for trustees from personal liability for damages to the environment which exists^d prior to their appointment (in effect as of August 1, 1992) To ensure that the new legislation remains responsive to evolving insolvency issues in a competitive marketplace, the Act puts in place a three-year review process, which will involve consultation with interest groups. The new legislation is the beginning of an ongoing reform process, which will focus on preparing for Phase II of bankruptcy reform. ^^jS|p^HS^^ 26 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 17. 1992 Birth centres preferred by valley women 1 BURNABY - Three out of four women of childbearing age in Greater Vancouver would definitely or seriously consider delivering their babies in a birth centre instead of a hospital if they were available in British Columbia, according to a survey conducted for the Greater Vancouver Regional District hospital department. Of 900 women interviewed from all areas of the region, 77 percent said they would favor an alternative to the traditional hospital-based setting for delivery. The survey covered women who have had children, or are planning to. Birth centres are designed to provide care and support to women through their pregnancy, childbirth and eariy days of their newborn's life, in a family- oriented, home-life environment. They would be run by doctors or trained, accredited midwives fully experienced in childbirth. Centres may be a separate unit of a hospital, attached to a hospital or close to hospital backup services. Fewer drugs and medical procedures are used but there is full access to medical needs. Birth centr«2S have been operating in Ontario for over four years, providing care in labour and delivery at a lower cost than standard hospitals. Two hospitals in Greater Vancouver have already shown interest in establishing centres. The GVRD survey found the highest support for birth centres is in Vancouver where 85% who were questioned said they would definitely or probably consider using them if they were available. In Coquitlam/Port Coquidam/ Port Moody/New Westminster there was 81% support, in Burnaby 80%, the North Shore 79%, Surrey/White Rock 77%, Delta 75%, Langley 71% and Richmond 62%. As a result of the obvious inte rest in birth centres, a working group will draft guidelines for their development during the next few months. Arts events Nov. 18 - Jan. 4: Oils by D.B.

A handful of hope Obituaries By ARCHBISHOP DOUGLAS HAMBIDGE VANCOUVER - As I read the newspaper and watch the television these days, I find myself wondering if things could get much worse. Perhaps it was always like this. Perhaps the "good old days" weren't all that good after all. Perhaps it's just that the modern media make it possible for the horror stories to confront us in our own living rooms and therefore it seems more real to us. But it is not just my imagination. There are more and more hungry people in Aldergrove; there are violent people in our communities. In our neighbourhoods we are witnessing hunger and anger, racism and sexism, violence and pain. We see single parents using every ounce of energy to keep their families afloat, we see growing lineups at the food bank, we see people who are overburdened and overwhelmed. And our response? We feel helpless and vulnerable. Is there anything at all in the message of Christmas that speaks to the worid as it is today? I believe there is. I recendy saw a poster of a tiny newborn baby being held in a doctor's hand. The caption read: "A Handful of Hope". This tiny Rewarding! LANGLEY - With the winter session beginning on Januaiy 5, the Pacific Riding for the Disabled Association requires volunteers to assist disabled riders in therapeutic riding lessons as sidewalkers and horse-handlers.

The message of Christmas is that God came to earth in the vulnerable form of a baby to do what needed to be done for the well-being of the world. Christmas is God offering to a broken, hurting world a "handful of hope" in the person of Jesus. And that hope is reborn when one person reaches out to another in care and loving concern; when someone shares the burden someone else is carrying; when food is given to the hungry and shelter to the one without a home. Hope is born again when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable to the world around us - when we risk rejection as we reach out in love. When we do this, the wodd can begin to hope again. May this Christmas bring you and yours a "handful of hope" for all the days ahead. (Archbishop Douglas Ham- bidge of the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster).

ALDERGROVE - Over seventy students from Betty Gilbert Elementary dropped by the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, Wednesday, Decemh>er 9, to spread Christmas cheer throughout the centre. From ornaments, to presents, to snow filled windows, the staff and public watched the transformation from community centre to winter wonderland. One could not help but be impressed by the spirit and enthusiasm the teachers and students brought with them to the community centre. Betty Gilbert Elementary demonstrated what community development was all about. It is about coming together and working. towards a common goal. The goal was to spread happiness and cheer throughout Aldergrove and it is a goal that is realized every time someone steps through the front doors of their community centre. We applaud the hard work of the staff and students from Betty Gilbert Elementary and invite the community to visit the Aldegrove Kinsmen Community Centre before Christmas. If you are not in the Christmas spirit when you visit the centre, we guarantee that you will be by the time you leave. Parkside students raise cash for cystic fibrosis ALDERGROVE - Earlier in the fall, students at Parkside Centennial School raised money through a coin drive for Cystic Fibrosis. This money was raised in honour and memory of Taryn Brown, a courageous young student at Parkside who passed away this simmer from '> the disease. Students at school wanted to do something in memory of Taryn. Posters and P.A. announcements were made by the ^students, publicizing a coin drive. Students collected the money daily and passed it on to the foundation. They were able to raise $392. in memory of Taryn. Donations will still be accepted at the school, or can be sent direcdy to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada. Taryn was an avid writer. To honour this, students decided that it would be appropriate to honour the best writer in Taryn's grade this year (Grade 6), and next year (Grade 7). A plaque will be given to the student who shows the most creativity, imagination, and promise in their writing.

The first division went to the second highest priced horse in the field of six, Dorcey named to Fraser Basin Management VANCOUVER - Tony Dorcey, chairperson of the multi-party Fraser Basin Management Board, announced that the board has appointed David Marshall as program director, effective Januaiy 4. As program director, Marshall will report to the board and will be responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of the broad policy framework established by the board to achieve sustain- ability in the Fraser River Basin. He will be assisted by a small core group of professional and support staff. Trump Pare. Driven by Cad Sibiga, Trump Pare sat second behind the pacesetter Falcon Rich until the 3/4 mark of the race. Once Sibiga had gone by Falcon Rich it was just the question of by how much he would win by. Trump Pare was almost three lengths in front of Falcon Rich while C Leceddy finished third and Glory You fourth. Time for the mile was a very good 1:59.1. The second division was a wire to wire victory for Oil Town Andy and driver Sten Ericsson. Sent off as the slight favourite in the five horse field, Oil Town Andy paced his mile in 2:01.2, over two seconds slower than the first division. However Oil Town Andy was never pressured at any point during the race and won at will. Null And Void was second, Rich N Stuffy thkd, while Diamonds For Kelly was fourth. With such a well matched field the draw for post positions on Wednesday could play a big part in the outcome of the Mr. Vancouver.

This year we invited Kwanden College to give us an update on what is happening with thek Langley campus. We were delighted to hear that the construction is progressing well; the project is on time and on budget for substantial completion by the end of March 1993. We also heard that the college will spread the -enrollment of students over a period of two to three years. We believe that the college will offer a well-balanced choice of programs for September 1993. However, we were taken back by the fact that the college does not know what funding will be made available for next year, and this is the point What about the non-native natives? Editor, The Star, Sk, Tom Lalonde, president of the Riel Metis Association has been contracted by the Surrey branch of Canada Employment Centre to undertake a needs assessment study on education and employment of natives living off reserves. I assume they are referring to the Indian or Metis as I am a native and I am sure they are not interested in how I am faring. During the two-month survey 400 people were interviewed and the following was found: 51 percent are unemployed, two and-a-half times the provincial average on social assistance, three-squatters of single parents are women, 58 percent of women are unemployed, the average length of unemployment is three years, and 60 percent are illiterate. Lalonde said in the terms of career and advancement that it centers on racism, and that they are often stigmatized and unable to secure employment at all. There is no doubt that the above findings are true, but again I have no doubt I could do a similar survey of non-Indians and come up with the same grim findings. What I am trying to say is: why single out the aboriginals? There are just as many other Canadian natives who are faring no better and have not got the protection of aboriginal status. Lalonde plans to hold a conference with aboriginal groups to come up with a good comprehensive list of recommendations that they can forward to the provincial and federal governments. May I suggest that the natives first take a good look at themselves, why they feel stigmatized, or why they feel they suffer from racism The government has funded employment programs for aboriginals time and time again and find they, refuse to work. They are there one day and gone the next It is not thek aboriginal status or because they are Indian that excludes them from promotions or opportunities to advancement but thek lack of interest and ability to take a job seriously. Some of the make-work programs put in place for aboriginals have had to either be scrapped or non- Indians employed to finish the program. In many cases costing many times more than the funding that was originally allocated. I know of many programs that have been put in place not only for aboriginals but other natives as well and have not been taken advantage of. There are millions of Canadians that are natives in Canada and they do not have to have aboriginal background. Let us stop letting anyone call us foreigners. TED HANSEN Aldergrove that we wish to bring to your attention. lhe opening of such a facility is a complex task that requires the hiring of staff, informing the community, parents and students of specific requirment for admission to the programs that will be offered, as well as ordering equipment and books, setting up laboratories and all other services that are required. It is imperative that a decision be made/ immediately to provide sufficient funding (which the college indicates as 1,094 FTEs and $4,124,655 start-up tx>sts) to cover both the start-up costs and operation of the campus for 1993, and determine now the allocation for at least two additional years. Attached is information which describes the neglected state of our region as compared to the rest of the province in terms of funding and capacity for post- secondary education. Your government indicated a strong commitment to post-secondary education as part of its election platform, and we are confident that you will take concrete and" immediate action.

The proposed amendments will give patent medicines a 20- year monopoly period, during which time cheaper generic copies are banned from sale. This insures multinational brand- name drug companies $500- million to $800-million more in profits.

V2S 5G6 850-5416 ■I — 30 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 17. 1992 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR How can it possibly be good for me? Editor, The Star, Sir, Four or five yssars ago the Americans were attempting to sell meat produce to Europe. When it was r«2fused by the Europeans who said they did not want to eat chemicals with their meat, the American response was simple "if it's good enough for us, it's good enough for them." Never happen in Canada, I thought. We dont put the almighty buck ahead of peoples' health. Litde did I know. Within a week I came across a tiny article near the back of the newspaper telling us that, yes, Canadian farmers are allowed to feed growth hormones to their animals. Isn't that cheating? Like using steroids at the Olympiscs? How do any of us know what happens to us when growth hormones and chemicals are given to good animals and poultry to keep them from sickening and. dying due to the unhealthy and unnatural crowded .conditions in which they are raised. Isn't second-hand chemicals as hazardous to our health as second-hand smoke? Twenty-seven chemicals are licensed for use in chicken feed in British Columbia, yet only 129 out of 54,075,748 chickens killed in 1990 were tested. No tests were done at all on turkeys. A recent report indicates that only now is Agriculture Canada collaborating on a study of the risk factors associated with PCP (penta- chlorophenol, a fungicide and wood preservative), residues of which have been found in the livers of one out of twenty hogs slaughtered in Canadian federal abattoirs. In B.C. only 25 slaughter plants are government inspected but more than 50 slaughter houses have no system of inspection and are not even licensed! A letter in the Vancouver Sun in June '92 in which a Delta man, commented on the article "Fight Cancer Like Aids," mentions that on the bag of dog food he bought, it states that older dogs should stay off commercially grown beef and chicken as this meat contained efficiency drugs and antibiotics. He adds "how can those kinds of meat be good for an old guy like me (never mind all the children) while being bad for my dog?" If you care about your health Government still doesn't see the light Editor, The Star, Sir, Finance Minister Don Mazankowski, early in his economic statement on December 2, stated that "higher spending and greater deficits will not create lasting jobs. They lead only to higher interest rates in the short term and higher taxes down the road." He then announced that the federal government would pile up an additional $67 billion in debts in the next two years. There was no recognition by this finance minister that the federal government faces a fundamental challenge that recjuires fundamental change. In November, 19.34, then finance minister Michael Wilson's economic statssment recx>gnized the need "to redefine the role of government". Canadian tax payers, however, are still waiting for that to happen - eight years later. True, the federal government did end unemployment insurance payments to those who quit their jobs or are fired for just cause, which we recommended to the government in 1986. Aside from this one reform, however, the government seems content to merely tinker with the unacceptable status quo. The most offensive part of Mazankowski's speech came when he called upon Canadians to make further sacrifices - while MPs keep their gold-plated pensions. When are the Conservatives going to start practising "what they preach? DAVID SOMERVILLE, Toronto and particularly the health of your children eating this untested meat, please write to your MLA and make your concerns know. Or write direct to the Hon. Elizabeth Cull, Minister of Health, Legislative Buildings, Victoria, B.C. V8V 1X4. And to be really effective, don't forget to send a copy to the leader of the opposition, same address. Only when there is enough concern from the constituents (who hold the vote!) will any action be taken. And that is a direct quote from a B.C. politician. CRYSTAL RAYMONT 2191 - 148A Street, Surrey Stop by at the Wilsons Editor, The Star, Sir, I would like to comment on Ron and Annette Wilson's house at 26549 - 28A Avenue, Aldergrove which they call Candy Cane Lane. Their home has over 10,000 lights. Their displays took them about two weeks to set up. They do this for the enjoyment of everyone. Ron and Annette are doing this to hdp the Aldergrove Food Bank and Langley Memorial Hospital. Last week when I talked to Annette she told me they have collected a pick-up truck full of food donations so far. Ron and Annette deserve a lot of credit for what they do for the community during the month of December. The firefighters of Aldergrove also put in a lot of thek time helping with crowd control and serving refreshments. ' If you haven't seen this house yet, make a point of stopping by. The lights are on from 5 to 10 p.m., 7 days a week. Don't forget to bring a donation for the Food Bank as this will help some of the families who are struggling through this Christmas season.
