TAXPAYERS ORGANIZE Protestors plan new strategies CALGARY - Hundreds of taxpayer activists from across the country, concerned about rising taxes, public debt and runaway government spending, metfihere last weekend to promote fiscal responsibility and non-partisan political reform. In a precedent setting move, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation organized the country's first ever Canadian Taxpayers Conference, a forum in\which taxpayers met not only to exchange ideas and information, but to develop plans for action. . "People are tired of waiting for change to take place, and are looking for ways to take matters into their own hands," said federation spokesperson Kevin Avram. Conference organizers intend to activaBSflocal ratepayer groups and to provide them with the knowledge of how to initiate citizen-based reforms such as direct democracy and how to bring about reform at -all levels of government. "The future of this country NDP try damage control on tax VICTORIA - The New Democratic government has tried to allay property owners' fears of a huge tax increase this ye&f, but they failed to mak«£the assurance demanded by Social Credit leader Jack Weisgerber. The BC Assessment Authority has mailed out 1.4-million property assessments, to every property owner in the province, showing increases averaging 40 percent. Municipal affairs minister Robin Blencoe later issued a statement that "rising assessments do not automatically mean rising taxes and B.C. property owners' rights to appeal assessments have not been eroded." But a spokesman for the finance ministry said the government had to consider the "difficult economic times, which made some tax increases necessary," though not necessarily on property. Weisgerber said the NDP needed to commit itself to lowering the tax rate on its portion of the property tax to counterbalance the rise in assessment values. "If they don't it will mean increases in the property tax of $264 to $642 for homeowners around the province," he said, repeating the warning he made a week earlier that the provincial government was planning a huge tax grab. "All they have to do is say they will lower the tax rate," Weisgerber said. He noted that he wasn't worried about municipal governments, which set the rate- for most of the property tax in urban and rural areas. "They.s usually do lower their rates when the assessment goes up." Blencoe's statement included background information and tables showing that tax assessments climbed much, more rapidly than taxes overthe past 12 years, which could only have happened if the mill rates had been .4awered.« * '^^W.^^-ZM^t^fSr^ depends on responsible men and women rising up to effect constructive change, not unlike what happened with Proposition 13 in California," said Avram. "Taxpayers have been led to believe that the only recourse they have is on the ballot on election day, (when) in fact they hold the reins of power." Speakers at the conference included members of taxpayer groups from California, Sweden and New Zealand. A local youth takes on the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation's wheelchair challenge at the mall, Saturday. The trick obstacle course saw a wide range of times from amateur wheelchair pilots. The event was to raise awareness for the Mothers' March which raises funds for the KRF programs throughout the province.

Trudi Campen said Monday night with reference to officials in neighboring What- com County, USA. "That's a broad statement," commented Coun. Aubrey Searle, He had just been telling his fellow councilors that American officials might become upset if Langley goes ahead with its plans for developing an old gravel pit on Zero Avenue as a golf course and housing development. But Mayor John Beales agreed with Campen. "We can do our very best and the people on the ?Oth«5f side of the (international) border do what they wish," he said. Searle said a letter received from Environment Canada dealing with groundwater contamination and environmental impact was "somewhat alarming and a direct reprimand Af.tfUS .c.o.i\ncjl". fcjr. aUpged. neglect in these matters. HenSlso^ prophesied problems arising with Whatcom elected officials if the Chartwell Golf Links proposal was allowed to go ahead. "An international con- frontation is the last thing we need," he warned. Other council members pointed out that while gravel pits have been banned in Langley, a new pit has been opened on the U.S. side of the border, just outside the city of Blaine. And Coun. Steve Ferguson asked the question of what's best, a controlled development with Sewer lines installed or the continuation of a large Canadian gravel pit that is being used by the public as a dump. Beales said he was looking forward to an assessment by Canadian federal authorities, and in the end councilors voted •unanimously to "cooperate fully" with the feds on the release of any information Langley might have available AS TO TAXES Councilors say they MURRAYVILLE - "Hopefully the change (in taxation) will not be as great as expected," Mayor John Beales commented Monday night. But councilors have refused to say by how much property taxes will increase this year. "We haven't really a clue," said Coun. Aubrey Searle. "We don't know what the (local) school board is going to do." Coun. Muriel Arnason said she was hoping the township would be_able to "keep the mill rate down," and Coun. Steve Ferguson advised recalcitrant taxpayers that "it wouldn't be the answer to withhold taxes" as this would invoke the mandatory 10 percent penalty. Coun. John Scholtens speculated that "for every complaint about rising taxes we still have 100 requests for grants or donations." Scholtens admitted though that "taxes are high and we (Canada) 'don't have a clue' cannot compete on the world market." Meanwhile, a Canadian tax revolt is brewing. Taxpayers from across the country, including property owners from British Columbia, met last week in Calgary to map out a strategy to attack all levels of government. They listened to advise from speakers from California, Sweden and New Zealand where hard- pressed taxpayers already have been successful in forcing their governments to implement tax reforms. Assessments now out VICTORIA - More than 1.4- million property owners in British Columbia have now received their assessment notices. Assessments will be the basis for elected local councils, school boards and other governments to use in apportioning how much tax each property owner will pay in 1993.

Aubrey Searle. He told other township councilors Monday night that British Columbia's lower mainland "has more physical constraints than any other region in all of North America." And he added that local governments must act to protect the environment in the region. A report from GVRD chairman Gordon Campbell has emphasized the need for "a regional strategic plan." However, other Langley "councilors said the loudest cries for "protection of the environment" always are heard from the communities who have done the least in that regard themselves. Burnaby, Coquitlam and Richmond, communities that are now largely industrialized, all call for other lower mainland municipalities to "protect our farmland", Coun. John Scholtens said. At a meeting on February 10, regional board members will "consider comments and prepare recommendations." The board will then hear scheduled delegates at a meeting on February 24. Councilors Searle and Muriel Arnason both referred to the matter as "this most important issue." Politicians will also be discussing the "rehabilitation" of Vancouver's Lions Gate bridge and a possible widening of the First Narrows crossing from the present three to four or five traffic lanes. Pleads guilty to charges LANGLEY - A former Aldssrgrove businessman has pleaded guilty to 11 charges related to assaults on children. Warren Stanley Day, 39, of Mission pleaded guilty to eight counts of touching for a sexual purpose and three counts of common assault. He returns to provincial court on March 8 for sentencing. Day had operated the Pet Warehouse business in Aldergrove, where the incidents involving girls between 10 and 13 years old took place. The business was closed a month before charges were laid by police. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. VOX 1A0 NEWS? CLASSIFIED? SUBSCRIPTION?

An unidentified 23 year old woman was killed when she was run over by another east-bound vehicle, after her car spun out of control and hit a railway bridge. The woman was initially thrown clear, but she was lying on the road whai another vehicle drove over her. Three male passengers were taken to hospital with various injuries. Chamber down, but it's not out ALDERGROVE - The local Chamber of Commerce office took quite a beating last year but is far from finished. Chamber president Gerald Long said the office has now moved into the Aldergrove Mall and will be operated on a solely volunteer basis. Furnishings were being moved into place in the vacant office across from the Alder Grove Heritage Society on Tuesday, and a phone and answering machine Will be installed sometime this week. Long said the Business Information and Tourist Information services formerly provided under contract with the province did not pay for itself and will no longer be offered. Long said he sees the office as more of a board of trade service, operating with the enthusiastic support of Langley municipality and council, and he observes that this November will mark its 40th anniversary. The Star will continue to publish the Chamber newsletter, as it becomes available, and Long said that more input from the membership will set the new direction of the Chamber. Harcourt sings the 'we've no money' blues VICTORIA - Premier Mike Harcourt says we can expect higher taxes in the coming year, as the provincial deficit keeps growing and spending seems to be uncontrollable. Harcourt's televised address, Jan 21, shied away from blaming his own government for any of the current problems and focused the blame on the previous Social Credit government and the current Conservative federal government. It came just over ten years after former premier Bill Bennett announced his government's restraint program, which set budget increases at ten percent Harcourt announced that grants to schools, hospitals, colleges and universities will increase only three percent, barely enough to cover population increases. However, Harcourt said he would stake his own political career on his apparent decision to look for tax increases in the coming year. He suggested that the provincial sales tax and income tax will be hiked, and the wealthy will be special targets. The current year's operating deficit is $2.3-billion, the highest ever experienced by the province, and next year's deficit is expected to be a comparable sum. "Nobody likes paying taxes. But many people dont realize our income tax rates in British Columbia are the second lowest in all of Canada. B.C.'s sales tax is also the second lowest in the country. Even with the need for new taxes we'll stay well below most other provinces," said Harcourt. Economists were ^quick to take issue with some of Harcourt's comments, pointing out, for one, that the differences in provincial income tax Registration for school!

Revitalization gets a boost ALDERGROVE - The Revitalization Committee will be looking at results of its downtown business survey at their monthly meeting at the community centre (Jan. 27). The committee has been developing a community enhancement strategy over the past couple of years, and one of its conclusions is that a strengthening of the downtown commercial area can be accomplished with development of overall design guidelines. Langley municipal council has provided hinds for hiring Robert Inwood of Mainstreet Consulting Associates to develop these (design guidelines. In conjunction with this, seven committee members undertook a questionnaire survey in November, and received 109 responses to the seven questions. On the question of business prosperity, 36.7 percent said they were doing better than they did one or two years previous, and 22.9 percent said worse. There were 26.6 percent who said they were doing the same, and 13.8 percent had no answer. More than 75 percent said an appealing downtown appearance would attract more people and improve business, while 13.8 percent said it wouldn't make a difference. There were only 10.1 percent who felt the existing area was attractive, while 83-5 percent said it was not attractive. Asked to select from a list of possible improvements, 62.4 percent said dm 'Buying or Setting? CALL-VIC PETERS Desirable PARKSIDE! Townhouse in excellent condition.

Asked about the need for a public focal point in the downtown area, such as a public square, 31.2 percent said yes, 55 percent said no and 13.8 percent didn't answer. Asked if they were willing to contribute to a business organization to market the downtown area, less than 15 percent said yes, and 24.8 percent said no. Slightly less than half said they may be willing to contribute depending on the specific nature of the project. The breakdown of thek status shows that 53.2 percent were business owners only, 5-5 percent were property owners only, 25.7 percent owned both business and property and 156 percent didn't answer. In the detailed anecdotal responses, a number of respondents said that cross-border shopping and the large regional centres in Langley and Abbotsford, along with the national recession and GST, had hurt thek trade. However, there were a number who said business had improved, and gave credit to such things as bigger premises, a 'lowest price' guarantee, and one who said "because of the type of service we provide and our efforts." The ages of the businesses varied from new to 40 years old. Among suggestions for an appealing appearance are a revamp of older buildings, removing punks from the streets, spending of tax dollars locally, weed control and cleaning, diversion of truck traffic, removal of telephone poles from the main street and improved parking. Some more radical suggestions included "remove Aldergrove from Langley municipality" and a common theme such as Duncan or Chemainus. As for contributing to a marketing program, one asked "how much?" Another said it's "dependent on financial position" and another said "I haven't had wages for three years I've been open." Other comments about improving business viability included: better lighting, better prices, better products, facelifts to existing buildings, bigger shopping malls, and "no more" surveys - action." One respondent said, "I feel Aldergrove has become a very transient town People live here two or three years and find the schools overcrowded, no shopping or conveniences, and move closer to where they can find them. Eyen if they have to pay more for thek home, the conveniences (pool, shopping, transit) are worth it. We, the town, need to do something to encourage even our own residents to stay and shop and play in Aldergrove and have a better community-feeling;" Inwood's first draft of Aldergrove Building Design Guidelines were submitted Dec. 2. Presentations of the Enhancemen Strategy have been made to a cross-section of organizations over recent months, and it along with letters of support are to go to municipal council shortly. y A \ Iden edit' nion rove ALDERGROVE CREDIT UNION SEMINAR R.R.S.P and RETIREMENT I PLANNING 1 You are invited to attend an RRSP Information Seminar.

That's according to police, who estimate there are at least 1,000 hydroponic marijuana farms in Vancouver. Most of them are found in the richest neighborhoods, the Kitsilano and Kerrisdale districts of the city and in the municipality of West Vancouver. "Some houses may have 50 plants," says Daniel Wood, a local writer and admitted marijuana smoker who claims to have seen many of the illicit operations. "Some may have a hundred plants. Some barns and warehouses in the Fraser Valley have thousands of plants." Police believe that 10 percent of the population in Canada's thkd largest city smoke marijuana regularly. That's about 120,000 people, most of them professionals like Wood, who says the quality of the indoor product is amazing. "It's very, very, very high quality pot," he says. "Even the police are surprised at the levels of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana)." Every month, the police raid five or six of the illegal operations, seizing about $1- million worth of the weed. One of the largest seizures netted 10,000 plants in one building - about $10-million worth. Most growers operate on a mudi smaller scale. One woman, a 50-year-old professional and single mother, used to tend 200 plants in her basement. The woman, who asked not to be identified, says she made $50,000 tax-free dollars last year. She says marijuana growing is not the seedy, crime-ridden business it is often portrayed as being. "I feel that I travel with intelligent, caring, loving, considerate, good human beings," she says. "I wouldn't deal (grass to) someone I wouldn't have as a friend." She says growing grass is a relatively low-risk activity because the police don't place a high priority on shutting down small producers. If they did, JSaniel Wood says, "The jails would be full. We'd all be singing marijuana blues if they tried to bust all of the people, who like myself, on occasion use or possess small amounts of marijuana." It is estimated that about two million Canadians light up a marijuana cigarette regularly. Those caught with a small amount usually escape with a fine. Testing for drugs OTTAWA - In accordance with regulations approved by the governor-in-council on May 1992, the Canadian Forces have completed the initial stage of a mandatory drug testing program. The initial phase of the program included a survey taken from the nation's defense headquarters in Ottawa and 13 Canadian Forces bases here in Canada and overseas. Schools receive misuse grants # VICTORIA - Grants totaling $287,111 have been provided to 172 British Columbia schools to help students participating in prevention activities which target substance misuse, health minister Elizabeth Cull has announced. The funding is provided under the secondary school grants program, which encourages student involvement in a variety of projects that focus on alcohol and drug use issues. "Young women and men are helping to take responsibility for their own health by actively participating in substance misuse prevention programs in their schools," said Cull. NDP will centralize PR VICTORIA - The New Democratic government has indicated its communications operations are confused and uncoordinated. While a survey of senior bureaucrats has revealed a desire that public relations staff more closely reflect each ministry's own PR policy, another report prepared by the government's communications office has recommended the creation of a govemmentf-wide PR strategy. This latest report revealed "very little consistency" among the individual ministries' plans. What's more, it says, the PR aims of the ministers "are rarely the same" as those of their senior bureaucrats and of their own communications staff. As well, the report said the government is relying on major news media to relay policy to regions outside Victoria and Vancouver through a kind of "trickle down" approach which is inadequate. The report also found that "issues management" was .a function which the government's communications office was too seldom called upon to perform for ministers. When PR staff tried to do this, it said, the bureaucrats and minister got nervous. Quake at Fort St.John FORT St. JOHN - An earthquake rattled the northern BC town of Fort St. John on January 9, shaking up a few people but not causing too much damage. The quake, measuring four on the Richter scale, shook the town and surrounding area within a 50 kilometer radius. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 28. 1993 'Refugees' shopping for asylum TORONTO - Photographing and fingerprinting refugee claimants is the newest method of preventing false claimants from entering the country. Immigration Canada says it wants to sort out the "asylum shopper", people who go from country to country using up health and welfare benefits, from legitimate claimants. "There are people out there shopping for countries with the best benefit packages," says immigration official Roger White. Request considered ALDERGROVE - A request to Langley township council for including $3,900 in the municipal budget for the installation of rest benches along 273 Street north and south of Fraser Highway has been referred by councilors to their budget committee for consideration. Appeal was made by Aldergrove man Ken Pruden. Councilors will also send out letters to service organizations in the area asking if they would be interested in donating toward the project. Several seniors homes are located in the 273 Street area. Record use of gas this winter VANCOUVER - BC Gas, the province's largest natural gas utility, reached another record 'delivery day on Jan. 11, sending oTSfcN.,004 billion Ctfbic feet of natural gas to its interior and lower mainland customers. . The cold arctic air that chilled B.C. communities "would make it one of the longest January cold spells on record," said company vice president Bill Bierlmeier. "This is abuse and it clogs up the whole system." In addition to the new methods that will be implemented by the end of this month, Canada has announced it will accept about 30,000 refugees this year. British JI government out to curb the press LONDON - The British government and the press are on a collision course after ministers have received a report proposing substantial fines on newspapers breaching a new statutory code of conduct. Prime Minister John Major and a majority of his cabinet are in favor of legislation to curb invasions of privacy by outlawing electronic eavesdropping, trespassing and the snapping of long-range photos. As newspapers have geared up to mount a vigorous campaign against what they call "dra- conian" curbs, editors have predicted the stage has been set for a battle royal with the government over the recommendations in the report from Sir David Calscutt. Major is particularly angry with news coverage of the private life of former heritage secretary David Mellor and the tabloid coverage of the marriage difficulties of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

JANUARY 28. 1993 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Policies not working Editor, The Star, Sir, While the US and other countries have lowered taxes, the Canadian government has steadily raised taxes. In a very competitive world, lower taxes encourage people to work harder and to be more honest in declaring their incomes. In the long run, lower taxes resulj in more, not less, tax revenue collected by governments. Five hundred thousand jobs have been lost in Canada as a result of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement. Now the government is making things worse by signing a North American Free Trade Agreement. And the GST has put into bankruptcy many more companies, further increasing unemployment. The latest figures we have show only Ireland and Spain with higher unemployment rates than Canada. Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States all have lower unemployment rates, most of them much lower rates. Unemployed people cannot pay taxes. They cannot afford to shop locally when costs are lower elsewhere. Full employment strategies would save billions of dollars in unemployment costs and welfare payments and in the abundant multiplier costs caused by the waste of human beings and the misery that accompanies high Unemployment. Cutting unemployment in half would decrease our deficit by other billions. Ordinary women and men in Canada are looking for tax fairness. GLADYS BROWN, Sardis Arnason speaks out Editor, The Star, Sir, I believe that the beleaguered taxpayers of Langley Municipality should know that their hard earned tax dollars are now being spent on projects which were approved by the Langley Municipal Council when they accepted the 1993 budget on January 18. There was no public discussion of the Budget items. I have always strongly believed this is wrong. It is not generally known that as soon as the provisional Budget is approved, new staff can be hired and money can be allocated for major capital expenses. In this time of greatly increased property assessments; vasdy reduced grants from senior governments; the spectres of "user fees" for users of municipal facilities and services; and the proposed immense payments for updating the GVRD sewer system at Anncis Island, great fiscal responsibility must be emphasized. Borrowing is being considered as a means of paying for large ticket items. Borrowing money means that the taxpayer will have to pay interest. This practice in the long run will lead down the slippery slope to esconomic disaster. Our federal government spending is a prime example. I believe in paying as you go and demands for services must be most carefully scrutinized and justified. At the last Council meeting when I attempted to express my fears about these Budget matters, Mayor Beales banged down his gavel and refused to allow me to express my concerns. I believe the losers in this budget, over an extended time, will be seniors and all those who will be drivs^n to giving up their homes because of increasing taxes and fees. The price of homes will be too high for young people to afford. My greatest regret is that I was not allowed to speak for you. As taxpaytsrs of Langley, I, as your representative, deserve to be heard. The right of people in a democracy is to have the final say in how tax monies are levied and spent. Empire building has no place in local government. You deserve better! Councillor MURIEL ARNASON Township of Langley Steady erosion in store for Langley?

Recendy released statistics indicate that as many as 10,000 young people a month join the ranks of smokers despite conclusive evidence that this habit is both addictive and health threatening. CHP has a policy that supports the posting of strong health warnings on tobacxx) products. CHP would not be associated with any sport event sponsored by the tobacco industry, nor permit any advertising of tobacco products in government controlled or sponsored media and publications. Instead, initiatives to assist the tobacco industry to diversify and retrain those involved in it, should be implemented. For the good of Canada and the health of Canadians the government must stop setting double standards and instead take a strong stand against this proven health hazard. ED VANWOUDENBERG Candidate, Christian Heritage party, Fraser Valley West. Finally; a bit of sound sense in government? Editor, The Star, Sir, A few weeks ago you printed an article that interested me, and has probably caught the attention of quite a few other readers as well. This is in regards to the statement by Mayor Beales and Councillor Scholtens, indicating that they felt a review of the land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) should be undertaken and such land found to be incapable of supporting a viable agricultural enterprise, be permitted removal from the ALR, and housing development allowed. I am encouraged that someone in council is finally waking up to the inequity of the present system, and hopefullyother council members will see fit to joindy petition the ALR, to fairiy evaluate southwest Langley and release submarginal properties from the ALR. PETER D. FRIESEN Aldergrove Scouts practice sound ecology Editor, Tlie Star, Sir, Langley District Scouts wish to say thank you to the citizens of the Lan- gleys and Aldergrove, and all our sponsors for the successful Christmas Tree chipping and re-cycling program held Jan. 9. Eighteen Scout groups and Langley Kiwanis District 100 manned five drop off sites in a joint effort to reduce the amount of waste sent to our landfills. The chips were recycled to various locations for useful purposes other than being wasted in dump sites. Although many other worthwhile organizations are starting to off er this service, we thank all who donated to Scouts in numerous ways. The corporate citizens of Langley should be proud of their involvement with such a venture. Through offers of newspaper publicity, donations of equipment and personnel, food stuffs, and other ways of support, for the third year the event was most successful. Scouts have long been participating in sound ecological practices and it is indeed gratifying to see our community further those practices with us. We appreciate the many words of encouragement given to us in regard to tree chipping and re-cycling. . Your donations help to further Scout programs and will assist numerous Scouts to attend the Canadian Scouting Jamboree in Kanaskis, Alberta this summer. We hope to see you Saturday, January 8, 1994, for the fourth annual Christmas Tree Chipping and Recycling program. ROB JONES-COOK Langley District Scouts Chinese women had hard times VANCOUVER - Life in the new world may have been hard for immigrant Chinese men - but it was even harder for their wives and daughters. That's according to 'Jin Guo: Voices of Chinese Women' - a just published book that is the first oral history devoted to Chinese women in this country. The collection of interviews with different generations of Chinese-Canadian women took the Women's Issues Committee of the Chinese Canadian National Council 10 years to assemble. In the book, more than 20 women describe how the role of Chinese-Canadian women has changed in the years since the first newcomers emigrated. Back the, "being born Chinese was difficult enough, but being born a girl was a double whammy," says Velma Chan, one of the women interviewed. Born in 1908, Chan says being female and Chinese meant struggling with traditional Chinese cultural mores such as arranged marriages - in addition to dealing with ostracism by non-Chinese Canadians. "It was funny how you accepted it, not being hired because you were Chinese," recalls Lil Lee. Born in Nanaimo in 1927, Lee says most communities developed Chinese neighborhoods or Chinatownlike business districts because it was the only way to get jobs. Times have definitely changed, and for the better, say the modern day successors to.Lee and Chan. "Life really has been easy for me, compared to my mother and grandmother," says Shirley Chan, who works as a senior administrator in the provincial government. The younger Chan was born in 1949 and grew up in Vancouver's Chinatown district. "Some people would call it a ghetto - I would call it a community." The stories contained in the book "are living testimony that Canada is a good place to live. That you can make a home here," says Colleen Leung, a Vancouver television producer.

JANUARY 28. 1993 What a surprise that was ... or was it? By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - It was quite a surprise to come into work last Wednes- day and find a fax from local MLA Gary Farrell-Collins announcing that he'd resigned from his position as the Liberal party's caucus whip. After all, the previous week's non- story about an alleged affair between party leader Gordon Wilson and house leader Judy Tyabji had all but died on the vine. Political observers were turning their attention to Harcourt's televised address on the state of the provincial economy. The public wasn't much interested in the prurient activities or non-activities of a couple of elected officials. After all, if co-workers made similar allegations about a couple of employees in a private or public company, would that couple be expected to resign from their jobs? Not likely, especially without swidence of misconduct — which there was none of. This also bore no resemblance to the case of Ontario cabinet ministers hiring their mistresses into upper- level civil service jobs (is that what they call a "government in recline"). Tyabji won her job as MIA fair and square and has shown she's just as deserving of a shadow cabinet post as any of the 17 Liberals in Victoria. She may not be the next Churchill or Thatither, but in all honesty, she stands heads above many of her caucus colleagues. And the fact that Wilson and Tyabji both have confessed to troubled marriages hardly makes them unique in contemporary sOteiety. Provided that they don't abuse the rights of their spouses and/or ex-spouses and children, having a failed marriage is not a criminal offence in this country. It's a civil matter, to be settled between concerned parties (whi(Ji does not include the electorate), and life goes on. Disclosure legislation knocked by Searle MURRAYVILLE - A provincial legislation dealing with public disclosure is "a marvelous document", according to township Coun. Aubrey Searle. But he does not agree with its intent. Searle said this week that he often has conversations with constituents who "trust my integrity" in not bringing the matter further. If he were to be ' forced to discuss such matters in open council rather than in camera, he would be violating this trust, he claimed. He said the proposed legislation contained "ambiguities in its recommendations" and asked that officials take a hard look at it- Mayor John Beales said he could not see any problems. Whenever local citizens approached him with complaints or concerns, he said, he simply asked them if they would want him to take the matter further, and in all instances the reply was "of course." So why did Farrell-Collins see fit to bring the issue back to life at this point in time? In his press release, Farrell-Collins said he quit his position as caucus whip, and its associated seats on the senior strategy committee, house business committee and ways and means committee. He said, "I have met personally with Mr. Wilson and informed him that despite my loyalty, I no longer feel comfortable in the environment that exists and no longer feel that I can, in good faith, continue my duties." That wasn't particularly enlightening, although he went on to say that he intends to continue to serve on any policy committees and legislative committees, and to continue as official opposition critic for labor and consumer services. He concluded with, "I firmly believe that the Liberal party of B.C. is the party of the future and have cx>mplete confidence in the work of my caucus colleagues in bringing us to that future. The people of B.C. are looking for a new type of government and I believe that the members of the Liberal party will provide that for them." I had a difficult time swallowing that, so naturally I calted Fanell-Collins to try to get a handle on his real motivations for the decision. He was tied up in a press scrum but returned my call shortly after. In the meantime, radio reports quoted Wilson as saying that Farrell- Collins merely needed a smaller workload, an oblique reference to Farrell-Collins' health problems during the previous year. Once on the phone, Farrell-Collins said, "The events of last week were a concern," however, Wilson had "assured me that a 'relationship' had not taken place." "My concern then was his response to what the future holds for the relationship," said Farrell-Collins. Evidently, Wilson was unable to guarantee that somewhere and sometime down the line, he and Tyabji would not get hitched, formally or commonJaw or whatever. This made Farrell-Collins "uncomfortable" and he remarked that he thought Wil- son could either choose to be the next premier or to have a "healthy, wonderful relationship" with Tyabji, but that "the public wouldn't allow both." When I asked if the friendship between the two had resulted in any favoritism towards Tyabji, Farrell- Collins was quick to deny that he'd seen any evidence of such. "That's not been an issue." "The party whip has to give 100 percent, and I told Wilson he'd better find someone else, perhaps Jeremy Dalton (the loyal West Vancouver- Capilano MLA has since been given the job)." Farrell-Collins said he'll "work very hard on committees" and for the constituents, but believes Wilson can "either have the relationship or his career... he needs to display some high standards (to become premier)" I told Farrell-Collins that I thought he made a dumb mistake in making this a public issue. He replied that was my opinion but it wasn't my job, it was his. True enough, but it does give cause to wonder if he really wants it. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 28. 1993 Bruins take two ALDERGROVE - A new experience for the Hewitt & Company Bruins was to take a luxury bus to Hope for their first game against the recently upgraded Hope "B* team. Parents and kids enjoyed the reclining comfort of the journey and were happy to leave the treacherous highway driving to the bus driver. Although the Hope team were joining the rep league late in the season they continually showed they had lots of spirit. However Aldergrove was persistent and with Ben "The Glove" Eldridge in goal ended the first period up by two goals, the first scored by Jeff Steer assisted by Matthew Keith and the second by Darcy Benson assisted by Martin Nicola. The second period started with both teams firing on all cylinders, in goal for the Hewitt & Company Bruins Kris "The Stick" Keith. The play was exciting as Hope came alive and scored 2 goals. Aldergrove was strong in reply with the third and fourth goals both scored by Darcy Benson assisted by Matthew Keith. Score at period end 4-2 Aldergrove. Opening the third period, Ben "the Glove" Eldridge returned to goal, the play was as even as the second period, both defences playing strongly with excellent passing by Aldergrove using their defence. However, in this1 period Hope outshot Aldergrove and scored 2 goals to the Bruins 1, the game wiring put away by David Mam chur asisted by T.K Laidman and Martin Nicola. Final score 5-4 Aldergrove. Special mention and congratulations to Darcy Benson who scored the first natural hat trick for the season. The next game was on home ice against Port Moody. Kris "The Stick" Keith played the full game in goal for Aldergrove, and the Hewitt & Company Bruins were on form for the night with a final score 9-3 for Aldergrove. Goals in the first period were scored by T.K. Laidman, David Mamchur and Jeff Steer, assists to the same three boys. In the second period the Bruins did not let up the pace and scored four goals, two great left hand oorner wrist shots put in by din- ton Olson assisted first by Mark Cassibo then Eric Strandt, the other two goals scored by Darcy Benson and T.K. Laidman. In the final period the Hewitt & Company Bruins dominance of the game continued with two more goals from Darcy Benson and Jeff Steer, assists to David Mamchur and Martin Nicola. After recent disappointing losses for the Hewitt & Company Bruins a pair of wins is just the tonic the players need, congratulations boys and keep up the good work. Final note, many thanks to Aldergrove Safeway for their considerable help in taking back bottles generously donated by the residents of Aldergrove in our Januaiy 2 bottle drive. Ringette Tweens upset Howe Sound ALDERGROVE - On Jan. 22 Aldergrove's Tween B Ringette team hosted a strong team from Howe Sound. Howe Sound put the pressure on from the start with Tina Harty having to make many stops in the first few minutes. Howe Sound would score 2 goals midway through the first period Shannon Waters would hit Erin Millerr with a nice pass just 24 seconds later. With action back and forth Erin would score her second goal with Councilman 'marveling' MURRAYVILLE- Skateboarding and rollerblading received the attention of councilors here Monday night. Coun. Aubrey Searle thought it would be a great idea to "encourage the skill and energ$r of young people choosing this sort of recreation by providing blacktop facilities for them. He said he "marveled" at the skill of some of these young people and "the things they could do" with their equipment. assist from Alyssa Hogan. Howe Sound couldn't get another goal and the period ended 2-2. Howe Sound would score within the first minute of the second period, but Maria Mach would answer the call 2 minutes later with a pass from Erika Pearson. Aldergrove's first go ahead goal came from Tara Swinden breaking in from the defense, assist going to Maria Mach. Kristine Hargrove buried the ring into the net a minute later. Aldergrove fought even harder and within 2 minutes veteran players Erin Miller and Maria Mach put Aldergrove well into the lead, 7-4, assists going to Kristine Hargrove and Maria Mach. Erin Miller added her fourth goal with assist going to Maria in the last minute in a 8-4 upset.. The unsung players on defense: Shannon Witts, Lyndsay Carron, along with Alyssa Hogan and Tara Swinden did a superb job. Tina Harty had an outstanding game stopping 24 shots when the playersidn offence found the mark by scoring. These girls played the best team effort yet. Fantastic!

North Shore was first to light up the scoreboard, as usual with this team. But most of the scoring took place during the second period with Jason Ballantyne assisted by Delayne Dupuis and Darren Caldwell; Cliff Carlson from Steve Nicola; and Ballantyne again unassisted. North Shore responded with a final goal in that period. 'Grove offence squad keptN.S.W.C net minder busy, peppering him with 33 shots, while goaltender John Enns saved 12 for Aldergrove. With no further goals, theAldergrove team went home victorious at 3 to 2. Tuesday, January 19, Aldergrove entertained Burnaby during "Aldergrove Minor Hockey Celebrating 20 years" week.

Women's team ranks second in nation ABBOTSFORD - Last w<jekend the Lady Cascades showed why they are currently ranked 2nd in the National Colleges Athletic Association rankings. On Friday they destroyed the Cariboo Sun Demons 72-41, and , continued to dominate on Saturday with an 82-30 massacre of hapless Okanagan University College. UCFV women are now 7-0 in league play. Friday's game was a shocker in that Cariboo was in 3rd place in the league coming in, and the Lady Cascades felt sure that they would be in for a batde. Instead they took an early lead, and continued to widen the gap. Four players were in double figures for UCFV. Veterah^tward Carla BucJiananled with 17, and was followed by post Sue Parke (12). Forward Carol Vinson and guard Danielle Moe each had 11. Top scorer for the Kamloops squad was Danielle Stother with 15 points. Saturday's trip to Kelowna was a tiresome affair, with road conditions deteriorating, and facing an extraordinarily weak Lakers squad that was totally mismatched against the powerful UCFV women. By half- time the score was 49-12. Buchanan once again had a field day, scoring 22 points, and post Denise Rehman THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY BEER GARDENS Any organization wishing to hold a beer garden during 1993 must make an application, in writing, BEFORE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1993.

Meanwhile the UCFV men's basketball team played the same opponents, Cariboo at home on Friday, Okanagan on Saturday. On Friday the Cascade, led by the determined efforts of Captain Mark Wapples (l6)'and Kevin Bos (14), were 12 points ahead at half-time 47-35- Despite notalJepsaformanresfiom Sun Demons John Favola (18) and Colin Lyons (14), the Cariboo College team was over powered by the C's defense. Ron -Tamis (11) and Chris Spence (13) con- tinued UCFVs onslaught winning by a convincing 9«3-67 margin. The following night, the Cs trekksed up to Kelowna to play the OUC Lakers. Okanagan's perimeter offence, led by Rod Chariton (26), allow«2d the Lakers to take a slim 37-35 half-time lead. In the second half Vince Van Dyk (15), Ron Tamis (9), and Mark Wapples (9) led the Cascades' charge. But in the waning minutes, the Laker's outside game <x>upled with mystery calls by the officials combined to give them a slim 69-66 victory. This was the toughest loss yet for the UCFV squad who were ranked 14th in National College rankings coming into this weekend. Both teams are on the road next weekend playing Capilano on Friday night and Malaspina (Nanaimo) on Saturday. LEES 2431 CLEARBROOK RD 853-9192 ALDERGROVE - Thursday Jan. 21 and Saturday Jan. 23 the Valley Gravel Sales Atom 'A' Bruins took on their counterparts from North Delta. The first game was played on home ice and the VGS Bruins came out of the starting gate like gangbusters taking complete control of the game. At 12:27 of the first B.J. Konschuh with a litde help from Marc Windle put the VGS Bruins on the score sheet and just under two minutes later Scott Robinson showing off some real fancy foot and stick work put the VGS Bruins up by two. At 2:53 North Delta notched their first of the night putting the puck past goalie Davis Parley after a scramble in front of the net. North Delta took over the game in the second period getting two unanswered goals to go up one goal on the slumping VGS Bruins. Aldergrove woke up in the third period and battled nose to nose with the North Delta boys to try and get the tying goal. At 3:41 defence- man Chris Colonval took matters into his own hands and with a great show of strength along the boards pushed his way past the North Delta players and put the puck up over the shoulder of the goalie. After Chris' goal the VGS Bruins were really fired up and took over the game but were unable to get the winning goal. Final score Aldergrove 3, North Delta 3. To celebrate minor hockey week the VGS Bruins exchanged pins with the North Delta team after the game and then invited the boys and their coaches for hot dogs and juice. It's Saturday and it's snowing so the VGS Bruins must be going to North Delta as it is the same kind of weather they had to brave the last time they visited this arena. Unfortunately the game results were not the same as the VGS Brains dropped a 6-1 decision to North Delta. The North Delta boys were really flying high after beating Chilliwack the previous evening and the VGS Bruins were unable to contain them. Aldergrove's only goal came at 5:18 of the second period when defenseman Steven Schulz passed the puck up to Paul Daley to Create a breakaway and Paul snapped the puck past the North Delta goalie. After the game it was North Delta's turn to recognize minor hockey week and presented the VGS Brains with their association pins. The VGS Bruins next game is Thursday Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. versus Chilliwack. This should be an exciting game as the VGS Bruins won the last game and Chilliwack is going to be out for revenge. See you there! Mad Dogs 'bite' Hewitt ALDERGROVE - Mad Dog Blues faced Hewitt & Oo. on Thursday, Jan. 21 with the Blues scoring twice in the 1st period.

Goal scorers as follows: Keith Hawson-Jonsts (1), Jamie McKay (1), Kyle Ounek (4). Final score 6- 1. On. Sat. Jan. 23 the Blues faced Langley Times with only 8 skaters.

Rep1 teams were introduced, association1' colours changed and executive, coaches" and sponsors came and went. The only constant was the players enthusiasm for hockey. 1976/77 Peanuts were now known as Novice and Pups change to Atom. Aldergrove's first rep team was formed, the division was Atom and the boys had a fine first year, they placed 4th overall and won most sportsmanlike. Sponsorship saw Aldergrove's Motorcycle, Shell Service and 5* - $1.00 along with J & J and Little Giant Trucking bowing out, leaving room for Aldergrove Elks to sign up, they are still sponsoring us. 1977/78 the Peewees entered a rep team, sponsored by Dams Lincoln Mercury. The boys won 8 of their 11 pre-Christmas games and held firm at 2nd place in league standings. Bantam also had enough boys to start a rep team. 1979 Aldergrove made application in November to change our rep colors from blue/white (Toronto) to black/yellow (Boston), and we are still proud to wear these colors.

JANUARY 28. 1993 Lady Spartans win two !!^i0"firm prom,isef LANGLEY - The Trinity Western Women's Volleyball team travelled to Prince George to play in three league games. Trinity faced the College of New Caledonia on Friday and Okanagan College and Malaspina College on Saturday. TWU started the match very slowly and after losing the first game came back to win the next two games. Still not playing to their potential t looked like TWU would win the fourth game. But some very tough defence by CNC kept them together and allowed them to get back in the match and eventually win 3-2. Coach Barry Heidebrecht commented, "An unbelievable display of defence by CNC was very frustrating for our hitters. No matter what we threw at them they were digging it up." Saturday saw a better Spartan team show up to play Malaspina. Trinity won the match 3-1. The keys to the victory were a lot more consistent serving and better serve receiving. Coach Heidebrecht, "Our defence was reacting a lot better to the ball giving us more opportunities to hit The loss of Sherrie Williams has forced us to alter our attack somewhat. Marie Heinen will be more involved in the offence, which will be a big asset. Marie responded with a very solid game offensively and Denise Harder had an excellent match defensively. The final game of the weekend saw the Spartans sweep Okanagan College in three straight sets. Some excellent support from the girls on the bench inspired the team to come While men split series LANGLEY - The TWU Spartan a determined finish saw TWU's Clay Men's Basketball team faced two tough road games this past weekend and earned a split by the narrowest of margins. Friday night found the Spartans in Kelowna to face Okanagan College. TWU jumped to an early 24- 13 lead only to see Okanagan come back to tie it at 24-24. The Spartans held a 37-34 halftime lead, but some hot shooting by Okanagan in the second half enabled them to post the 84- 76 victory over Trinity. Marty Pen- ninga led the Spartans with 25 points followed by Raymond Kwok with 19 and Clay Gimmaka with 18. On Saturday TWU moved over to Kamloops to face the University College of the Cariboo Sun Demons. This game also saw the Spartans take an early 38-25 advantage and closed out the first half with a 41- 35 lead. The second half, in a matter of minutes, saw Cariboo take the lead, 44-41. The Spartans trailed through much of the seoond half, but Gimmaka grab an offensive rebound and sink a basket to put TWU up 69- 68. Cariboo forward John Brady, was fouled with 15 secc<nds left. He tied the game with his first free throw but missed the second as TWU rebounded and regulation time ended with a 69- 69 score. TWU got a great start in the overtime period as they jumped out with a 6 point lead. Cariboo fought back within one point, 76-75, but the Spartan's Scott Dolff made some key freethrows for the final victory of 83-77. Penninga again led the Spartans with 25 points, day Gimmaka added 22 points and Scott Dolff hit for 19 points. Trinity's coach, Tim Teer, said, "The overtime win on the road keeps us in the playoff chase." The team takes their 2-5 league recc*dtonuri±>CTC«rKrankitdMalaspsTia College on Friday January 29 and return home for an 8 p.m. tip off against Capilano College Saturday night. Volleyballers in North LANGLEY - Trinity Ws^stern Men's Volleyball team travelled to Prince George to play three league games against the College of New Caledonia, Malaspina College and Okanagan College. Trinity walked away with three decisive wins. The first game saw the hosting school, New Calstdonia, shock TWU . by jumping to a 5-3 lead in the first set. Trinity came back to win the set by a score of 16-14. TWU carried their success from the first game and won the match in three straight games. Chad Buhr and Dave McDougaU played well coming in off the bench. Coach Ron Pike had this to say about the game, "The fact that this was the first game of the second semester contributed to the fact that we were a little slow to the ball. Chad played an exceptional game defensively and is beginning to contribute in his role as a defensive specialist." On Saturday morning the Spartans faced Malaspina College. TWU once again got off to a slow start whkli made the match more interesting then it should have been. Malaspina had a strong team with lots of height. Fortunately, Trinity was able to rally in the last two games to come through with a 3-2 victory. Coach Pike had these comments, "We played well, but there were a number of mental' lapses which cost us a little. It was a good team effort in what I would consider a character builder. This team has got a lot of heart and it showed in this match." The final match of the weekend saw Trinity play Okanagan College, which were ranked number six in Canada. The match turned out to be one of the best games played by the Trinity team all year. TWU shocked Okanagan by winning in three straight sets. The whole team played very wtsll. Coach Pike pointed out that, "Dennis Rawlusyk played his best match of the year and was a go to man all game." The men's team is now 10-2 in league play and tied for first in B.C. The team's next home game is Friday Jan. 29 against Vancouver Community College at 8 p.m. from behind on several occasions. During the third set TWU was down 9-2 before coming back to win 15- 12. The team was led by some exoal- lent setting and serving from Debra Moyen. Coacii Heidebrecht idiose to insert Lynn Hoekstra in a vacated middle position. With limited playing time prior to Christmas it was unsure how she would perform. Hoekstra came through under pressure with some timely hits and key blocks in the third matsch. Heidebrescht had this to say, "When we can get our passes up into Deb Moyen's hands we become that much more dangerous. Not only do we have powoful hitters, but Deb herself is very dangerous with the ball as Okanagan found out." The Lady Spartans now have a 10- 2 league record which leaves them in first place in the BCAA standings. The women play at home this Friday, January 29 against Vancouver Community College at 6 p.m. 240 jobs in new plant MATSQUI - A Mission company will build a new $12-million manufacturing facility and create 240 new jobs with the assistance of the fecteral government's Western Diversification Fund. Re-Con Building Products Inc. may be offering the fairest shake of all, with its development of a new fibre- cement roofing tile that looks like a cedar shake but is fire-resistant. The new Clarice Group company pulled together a team of experts from across the continent to develop new technology that has ho geographical and climatic restrictions on its use. The products will be manufactured from cement and recycled paper. A tentative longterm agreement for recycled paper has been reasched with Matsqui Community Services. MCS has been providing recycling services to the district for a number of years. The new tile qualifies for a class A fire-resistance rating, whereas cedar only receives a class B and C rating. Like the cedar shake the tile can be nailed down during installation and comes in a variety of sizes and widths, giving it a more natural look than other cement tiles. Its light weight makes it suitable for reroofing jobs. MP Ross Belsher said the com- pany will receive a $3.3-miflion repayable contribution to assist with the cost of the new plant. Financing is through the Royal Bank. Belsher noted that the tiles will be aimed at all markets but specifically will help B.C. keep its Los Angeles market. L.A. recently imposed a requirement that all roofing material must now have a class A rating. The plant will diretxly employ 57 to 65 people at the site and another 175 through indirect jobs.

V3A 3Z8, to consider Township of Langley Bylaw No. 3211 AT THE PUBLIC HEARING all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be. afforded a reasonable opportumnity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the hearing. BYLAW NO. 3211 ACCESSORY MOBILE HOME AMENDMENTS Township of Langley Zoning Bylaw 1992 No. 3211 involves a number of amendments to the Township of Langley Zoning Bylaw No. 2500, regarding accessory mobile homes. The Township's Zoning Bylaw defines a mobile home as: "a structure, whether ordinarily equipped with wheels or not, that is designed, constructed or manufactured as an individual unit or module, not exceeding 4.3 metres in width and intended to be moved from one place to another by being towed or carried, and to provide a dwelling unit, and which has been certified by the Canadian Standards Association as complying with their standard Z240." The above definition defines a mobile home strictly as a single wide. Double wide mobile homes are considered to be conventional single family dwellings and are not considered to be mobile homes (for the purpose of the Zoning Bylaw). The proposed zoning bylaw amendments will: A. Remove accessory mobile homes as permitted uses in ail Suburban Residential SR zones, by deleting subsections 301.1 (7) and 301.3 Affected are properties located in the SR-1 and SR-2 zones (i.e. the 3716 m2 (one acre) and 8094 m2 (two acre) minimum parcel size zones). B. Remove mobile homes as the principal dwelling in the suburban Residential Two, SR-2 zones, by deleting subsection 302.2 (1) and by deleting the words "or mobile home" in subsection 302.2 (2); The net effect of the changes proposed in A and B above will be to no longer permit single wide mobile homes either as principal or accessory uses in the SR-1 and SR-2 zones. C. Remove accessory mobile homes as permitted use on compassionate grounds in all Rural (RU) zones, by deleting all of subsection 201.4 c. except for the words That the property in question is 8094 m2 (two acres) in area". Affected are those properties in the Rural (RU) zones that are less that 8094 m2 (two acres) in size. Mobile homes will no longer be considered on these properties on compassionate grounds. Mobile homes will however continue to be permitted in the Rural zones as both principal and accessory uses subject to the remainder of the bylaw's existing provisions. AND TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that a copy of Township of Langley Bylaw No. 3211 may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, from January 15, 1993 to February 1, 1993, both inclusive, at the Office of the Clerk, Municipal Hall, 4914 - 221 Street, Langley, B.C., V3A 3Z8.

CI.NEPL iM^&^O'M Pamela Holm Folk series starts | to attract more locals By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Interest is growing locally for the Great Canadian Country Folk series, held Friday evenings at the Elks' Hall. The (coffeehouse style event brought John Hoff and Laurie Thain to a small but enthusiastic Crowd of about 25 last Friday night. While the room can accommodate four times that number, it was a big increase over the previous week's turnout of eight. Organizer John McCallum said he's encouraged and points out that because of the small scost involved, he can easily afford to keep going until he builds up a regular dientle. He said he knows from experience that it takes time to establish a reputation and is confident he scan do it. And he doesn't need to fill the room to pay the bills, either. A folksinger himself, McCallum said it's a rare opportunity for songwriters to play for audiences that want to hear original songs mixed in with the old standards. An audience that isn't there to drink alcohol and hear the latest top-40 tunes dished out by thoroughly jaded players. The Sunday night series at Chilliwack is also building steadily, attendance-wise, and McCallum hopes to expand the series into Langley-Sur- rey in the near future, too. There was a full range of ages at last Friday's show, and all seemed to emjoy themselv«5S. The <x>st of admission ($5 adult, $2.50 student/senior) includes all the cx>flee or tea you want Juices and other goodies are available at nominal cost. Hoff has a wonderful deep, resonant voice, admirably suited to traditional songs from the British Isles. He was well-received and is to return with Leah for the Feb. 19 cofieehouse. Thain is well-known, particularly for hex contributions to the Variety Club cause, and her selection of songs from her three albums was well- paced in its variety. She also did well selling her tapes and CDs to the audience after the show. This Friday's show promises some thing very special, as Pamela Holm and Dale Sawatsky will be featured. Sawatsky, from Langley, is described as somewhat in the rock style, although the series is primarily acoustic music. : Holm is the headliner, and she's been making quite a name locally with a voice described as "extraordinarily beautiful," in the style of a Loreena McKennitt or Enya. She has credentials that include tours with the Yellow Door Tabernade Choir, Montreal Symphony Orchestra Choir and the Erskine and American United Church Choir (Maureen Forrister got her start there too), while working on her BFA in Integrated Musk and busking in the Montreal subway. Since moving to the west coast, she completed her diploma in Music Therapy and has worked with everyone from emotionally disturbed children to geriatrics. She toured Mexico with the Vivaldi Chamber Choir, played flute with a Persian ensemble, and sang with the North Shore Light Opera's production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience." She is also conductor of the chamber choir, InChoiring Minds. She's also started working in the local folk music scene, singing traditional and original songs. She turned quite a few heads at the Mission Folk Festival and stole the show when she opened for renowned blues band, Triple Threat in Matsqui last fall. "I've never before seen people hooting and hollering for an encore from the opening act," remarked McCallum. ■ Holm is not to be missed. McCallum also wants to see local musicians come out this Friday for an open microphone and jam session following the performances by Sawatsky and Holm. "Guitarists are common, but we'd really like to hear from fiddlers, mandolin players, spoon players, whatever..." said McCallum. Other upcoming dates include: Feb. 5 with comedian-singer Black Bart and band, Meridian; Feb. 12 with Doug McArthur; and Feb. 19 with John and Leah. For information call McCallum, 824-0582.

Speaking of <Bggk§ A Book Review by Ken Lang Scenes of Life in the Rural Past Emilie by Arlette Cousture Stoddart, 389 pages, $-16.95 When Arlette Cousture's Emilie was published in its original two-volume French version in 1985 and 1986 as Les Filles de Caleb, it rapidly became a record-breaking cultural phenomenon with sales in excess of 300,000 copies—roughly double the figure for Yves Beauchemin's Le Matou, or The Alley Cat. And when the 20-part mini-series was televised in 1991, a staggering average of 3.3 million French-speaking viewers across Canada tuned in for each episode— roughly half the population of Quebec. Now Emilie, the first volume to be translated, has been published to coincide with the CBC-TV broadcast of the series in dubbed English, which began on November 4. Since I haven't read the French original, I can't assess the accuracy of the translation, but in terms of vivid, rhythmic prose the novelist has been very fortunate in her translator, Kathe Roth. The novel reads as though English were its native tongue. Set in turn-of-the-eentury rural Quebec, this is the story of Emilie Bordeleau, a determined and vivacious 16-year-old who leaves her home and family in Saint-Stanislas to become a schoolteacher in nearby Saint-Tite. The early pages portray her happiness and her ordeals as a novice in a one-room school with 27 students to teach and manage, some of whom are barely younger than herself. These classroom scenes will remind many readers of the classic and ever-popular account of youthful school days, Anne of Green Gables, and Emilie's high-spirited determination to succeed as a teacher is quite reminiscent of Anne Shirley. But Emilie's life in the schoolroom accounts for only a small part of the book. In time, it rangesirom her teenage years to middle age as it chronicles the intimate and meaningful moments in her relationships with husband, family and friends. Very much a love story, Emilie's courtship, and especially her marriage, soon become the centre of attention. And what follows is a penetrating look at the deep emotional impact that eachpartner has on the other. In a romantic vein, the novel takes us back to the days of spinning wheels and horse-drawn buggies, yet the sensitive treatment of universal themes makes it more than just a nostalgic visit with the past. So long as love and marriage, birth and death concern us, Emilie will speak volumes. A huge success in Quebec, Emilie deserves to be equally popular throughout Canada. For too long, too much of English Canada's relationship with French Canada has been relegated to the dismal realm of politics. Emilie helps to correct that imbalance by giving us an imaginative and intimate portrait of characters who have thoughts, feelings and aspirations in common with people everywhere. On the evidence of this novel, Arlette Cousture should have quite a career ahead of her. Full of incidents, her narrative has a lively, spontaneous quality, suggesting that her story springs straight from the heart. Writing with obvious sympathy for the joys and sorrows of her characters, she captures a large slice of life as we all live it. From ordinary events, Cousture has shaped a compelling story. It's heart-warming and heart-wrenching, and it should have enormous appeal for a wide variety of readers.

Midwives recommended only for hospitals, centres VANCOUVER - The British Columbia Health Association supports midwives working in a hospital or a "birthing centre", but not in a private home because of the potential risk during an emergency. "Additional advantages of hospital based midwifery service holds the potential of dramatically reducing medical interventions in low risk or normal deliveries; for example, the experience at Grace (hospital, Vancouver) indicates that Caesarian-section rates have betsn reduced as much as 10 percent," says the BCHA brief. At the council's public hearing in Vancouver, Monday, BCHA said it cant support such services in a home setting "as the consequences could be potentially catastrophic and British Columbia does not have an adequate emergency backup system in place to protect the safety of the mother and baby." BCHA cautioned that the cost (effectiveness of midwifery services.be carefully monitored at the outset, and that they don't become an additional expense. The association added that individual hospital boards must decide whether their hospital would offer midwifery services. Three year budget needed say hospitals VANCOUVER - The British Columbia Health Association is asking the provincial government to provide a budget commitment covering three years, instead of the usual annual grants, to hospitals and other health facilities in order that health care reforms be conducted in a more planned and rational manner. Responding to Premier Mike Harcourt's speech Thursday evening, BCHA president Herman Crewson said those in health care are well aware they consume one thkd of the provincial budget and are looking to more cost effective methods of providing services - in spite of the fact that B.C. hospitals have achieved the second lowest per capita cost in Canada. "Since the mid '80s, B.C. hospitals have been spending a decreasing percentage of total budget upon administration, and are now well below the Canadian average on a per capita basis", said Crewson. "As we look to the recommended lift in hospital grants cf three percent, we see a shortfall in the range of $140- million on the basis of commitments to union contracts, new and expanded services for the growing and aging population and new technology," said Crewson. "We would like to investigate whether the 3 percent is meant to be in addition to what hospitals actually received for the current year, or is it based on the lower figure of last year's provincial budget?" Crewson said BCHA will be attempting to confirm the type and amount of the shortfall through a survey of all of its member hospitals and should have results by the end of January. "At that time we will have a picture of the implications that the funding shortfall will bring," said Crewson "You can't down-size hospitals without having alternate and integrated community services in place," said Crewson. "We are supportive of reforms proposed by the Royal Commission on Health Care and Costs, but we are asking that the transition be orderly. "We would like the provincial government to tell us how much they would be willing to allocate to health care institutions and related organizations over the next three years. This commitment would enable our member organizations to work out thek adjustment strategies, and probably reduce layoffs as it would provide time for retraining and/or relocating," said Crewson. BCHA represents all hospitals, many continuing care facilities, major home care agencies and a number of allied health care organizations in the province. ABBOTSFORD - As its name suggests, the Writing and Publishing Studies prrogram at the University College of the Fraser Valley offers courses that deal with both putting words together and putting those words into print. Two non-credit courses starting in February that focus on what to do with your work once it's written are Graphic Design: The Basics, and Editing I: The Thin Blue Line. Computer technology has put the ability to produce brochures, posters and advertisements into the hands of anybody with access to desktop publishing software. What's missing is knowledge about how to make these printed products look good. Janice Pavlic is out to change that She wants to help people who are working with the new technologies by teaching them the basics of graphic design. Four wives to support BHUTAN - The king of this tiny Himalayan kingdom (pop. 1.5- million), at 38, with four wives and eight children to support, has welcomed an influx of minor celebrities from the West, including Koo Stark, photographer and former girlfriend of the Duke of York, and Shirley Maclaine, the actress.

Built inside the phone, it will automatically lower the TV volume as soon as the telephone is answered. When the call is over it automatically returns the volume to the previous level. The pen may yet prove mightier than the keyboard with the launch of new computers, from Apple and AT&T, which are controlled by writing instead of the usual typewriter keys. With an electronic pen, the user will write on a flat screen which recognizes the handwriting arid turns it into standard computer text. The first is expected to be a small handheld device that incorporates a mobile telephone and costs less than $1,000. A new generation of Super Mario based on compact disc technology should hit the shops. With more than 100 times the capacity of conventional game cartridges, the new CD-ROM (compact disc read only memory) games will offer cinema-like animation and high quality sound. Sega has already introduced its CD-based system in Japan. Nintendo plans to launch a CD games machine that players will attach to a Super Nintendo for better sound and picture quality. A simple operation to stop snoring will be extended beyond Papworth Hospital, Cambridge. The five-minute operation has been a complete success with the first 20 patients. It consists of laser treatment to stiffen the soft part of the palate which vibrates when relaxed to cause snoring. Shock absorbers in shoes could ease the pain for up to half the 1.5-million people with osteoarthritic knees. Dr. Paul Dieppe, professor of rheumatology at Bristol University in western England has developed an insole which, together with dieting and exercise, can prevent the disease from progressing while reducing dependence on drugs and physiotherapy. Half of the sufferers could benefit, he claims. The first fridges free of ozone- destroying CFC, made by the German company DKK Scharfenstein, will appear in British shops in April for about $500. They contain a mixture of propane and butane. The British refrigeration industry is wary of the risk of explosion but the design recently won safety approval in Germany. 14 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 28. 1993 degrees launched this fall ABBOTSFORD - It's time to get scientific at the University College of the Fraser Valley. After launching its first degree programs in Arts, Business Administration and Criminal Justice this fall, UCFV planners are now at work on a Bachelor of Science program, to start in September '93. (Oths^r degree programs slated to start next fall are Computer Information Systems and Social Work.) Students can currently complete two years of science studies at UCFV. The new degree program, offered in collaboration with Simon Fraser University, will mean that they can stay in the Fraser Valley for third- and fourth-year courses. The program will lead to a Bachelor of Science degree, with students completing minors in two subjects, choosing from biology, chemistry, physics, computing science and mathematics. The degree will prepare graduates for employment in science- related research or management jobs in private industry or government. It will also be good prepara tion for teacher training, and for entry into other types of profjsssional schools, such as medicine, dentistry, phys- iotherapy, and veterinary medicine. "Our goal for the program is to produce scientifically literate graduates who can think critically, who possess scientific skills in ds^mand by employers, and who understand the historical importance of science and the role it plays in our economy today," says George McGuire, a UCFV physics instructor who's helping to plan the degree program. Advantages of the UCFV Bachelor of Scienc eprogram, according to McGuire, will be small class and lab sizes, the chance to work closely with instructors and other stud<?nts, and instructors whose primary focus is teaching, not research. Most first- and second-year courses will be available in Chilliwack and Abbotsford, while the third- and fourth-year courses will be offered in Abbotsford only. Students will enter the program formally at around the third-ystar level, after completing at least 45 credits transferable to SFU. Students may Courses increase for time-strapped LANGLEY - Finding time for personal projects and leisure pursuits continues to be a challenge for adults in the 1990's. This trend is even reflected in choices for education. In response, the Langley School District's Continuing Education department continues to expand its range of one-evening seminars in a variety of topics. "People tell us they chose a certain course specifically because it was a one-night course," says Continuing Education coordinator, Ray Werem- czuk. "Business courses and even crafts courses are more attractive where they are short and easy to schedule." For the Winter '93 term, Con- tinuting Education scheduled over 80 one-night seminars covering topics in computers, crafts, hsealth, business, and the outdoors. Some of the titles include Communicating in Conflict Safety questioned MURRAYVILLE - Provincial highways department officials will be asked by local politicians here to "again look at the section of highway" of Trans Canada near 232 Street. There have been too many accidents occurring on this stretch of the freeway, Coun. Aubrey Searle said Monday night. Last week the driver of a small vehicle was killed in the collision with a large truck. It has been alleged that there is something wrong with the blacktop of this portion of the Trans Canada, but this claim has been refuted by provincial engineers. Coun. John Campbell suggested that it is speed that kills. He said that he is often driving the freeway "at 100 kilometers an hour or slightly above" and being passed left and right by other motorists. Most accidents have occurred after heavy rains or snow falls. Situations, CPR, Valentine Wreath, Educational Software For Your Child, and Family Fishing.

In George's opinion, this was when he did his best thinking. Somewhere George had seen something about a Citizen's Crime Watch Patrol. It didn't take much for old George to go off into flights of fantasy. George thought about what he would do if he were on such a patrol. The more he thought about it, the more his imagination took over. In minutes, George was seeing himself in a tear, chasing a fugitive who was fleeing from the law. His left hand was gripping the steering wheel, his right hand holding the mike to his mouth. "Calling all cars, calling all cars!" George wasn't helping the Police, the Police were helping George. George remembered the words of Winston Churchill when he said, "Never, never in the history of mankind have so many owed so much to so few." That had to be people like George that he was referring to. In George's view, there was a lot of the hero in George. Finally, he couldn't stand it any more, so he went to the phone and called the Crime Prevention Section at the CUPE expects "tough" bargaining VANCOUVER - The president of BC's largest trade union responded positively to Thursday's address to British Columbians by BC Premier Mike Harcourt. Benjiee Kirk, president of CUPE, B(J said "We are lucky to have a provincial government that is not completely blind to the people-side of things despite the seriousness of the economic times we are living." Though describing BC as being in a similar difficult economic position as every other economy in the western world, Harcourt stated that his government remains firmly committed to BCs social programs. Kirk's response, "Our members have faced tough times in the past and there will be struggles in bargaining, but we support this government because of its commitment to strong social programs — programs that (contribute to the long-term economic benefit of British Columbians. Strong social programs are CUPE's business!" Story timej|.; . || for tykes S LANGLEY - Storytimes for Toddlers and Preschoolers will be starting in Langley area libraries on February 10. Sessions will run for six weeks. Storytimes are half hour and consist of stories, songs and finger plays. These sessions are an excellent way of introducing a child to the library and the wonderful world of books! . Pre-registration will begin January 26. Registration can be done by phone or in person Storytimes are as follows: Langley Centennial Library, 534- 3284; Tales for Twos, Thursdays, 10:15 and Preschool Storytime, 3 year olds Wednesdays, 10:15 and 4 and 5 year olds Wednesdays, 1:15.

Brookswood Library, 534-7055; Preschool storytime for 3 to 5 year olds, Fridays, 9:30. KkJc also stated that CUPE BC agrees completely with the premier's expressed position in favour of investing in the people and the infrastructure of the province. "That", according to Kirk, "will create'jobs." Reacting to the premier's comments about the deficit, Kirk, the elected leader of 50,000 public sec- tec workers in BC said, "The premier is addressing some very difficult issues in the deficit. Again, in most ways, I think we are very lucky that this government is talking about keeping a lid on the deficit and not •trying to slash the budget as Ottawa has been doing." Kirk said, "Mike said it and people feel it. Ottawa's fiscal strategy has led to an economic climate that brought us the GST and high interest rates. Working people pay the GST and the debts incurred by banks who float good money after bad in the corporate poker games." Play on! at Surrey SURREY - Rehearsals are under way for Surrey Little Theatre's second production of the year, "Play On!". A comedy by Rick Abbot, this vehicle could not be better suited to community theatre. The plot revolves around the struggle of the local amateur theatre to produce a play written by one of their members. All would be going well with rehearsals but for the fact that the playwright keeps changing the lines and the plot even though it is only four days until opening night! The laughs pile up as you witness every mistake you have ever seen, heard about or imagined happens to this luckless lot of tried and true troubadours. First time director, Donna Innis, is support^ by veteran actors Anna Lush, Debbie Lush, Dan Bosley, Ron May, Barb Lomax, Janet Evens. Joining the cast are new comers Debbie Love, Margaret Cross, Carl Jamieson and Geraldine Yousif. Play On! will open Thursday, February 25 and run every Thursday, Friday and Saturday until March 20. For further information and reservations call 574-7873. R.C.M.P., at 532-3210. The reality of the Citizen Crime Watch Patrol was far different from what George had imagined. First, he had to fill out an application, secondly, be checked out by the Police, and then take training at the R.C.M.P. Detachment. George was told that he would be another set of eyes for the Police. He was not to get out of the car, unless there was an accident and his assistance could be of help. He would travel in a private car equipped with a two-way radio. He would have radio communication with a central station and that this station would forward any significant information to the R.C.M.P., who would in turn, respond on a priority basis. George was surprised to find so many men and women were a part of this volunteer organization. During the coffee break in the wee hours of the morning, George got to meet the other fellows on patrol that night. What a way to meet interesting people and make new friends! He would have to tell Mable about this. Perhaps she would join, and they could patrol together. Patrolling wasn't quite as exciting as George's imaginary adventures, but if he or any of his fellow Crime Watchers reported anything to the Police, they would always be informed as to what action the Police had taken. You couldn't expect excitement, but it was nice to know that you were helping to keep crime down in your own neighbourhood. You can help! Call 532-3210. Just say George sent you. Jeannine McCarthy, Executive Director of the Alzheimer Resource Centre in Langley was the guest speaker at a recent Community Health and Education Committee meeting held at Langley Memorial Hospital. Mrs. McCarthy provided the group, made up of representatives from various local health and social agencies with an update on the services and activities of the Seniors Resource Centre in Langley, standing in for Executive Director Sharon Biro. "The Seniors Resource Centre is a focal point for seniors in Langley," she explained. "It provides one central place where seniors can come for information, recreation and a chance to socialize." There are many community groups with offices in the Centre including the Alzheimer Resource Centre, Langley Arthritis Association, Langley Hospice Society, Regional Disabled Persons Association, Langley branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association, CNIB and Parents in Crisis. "There's an advantage to having us all in the same location, because in many cases we share clients and also by joining forces to put on pro- grams we can also stretch our resources. Meals on Wheels provides lunch to seniors daily plus there is Adult Day Care and a Seniors Drop In Centre. Thanks to funding provided by New Horizons Grant there is now an Information Referral Service, Handyman Service where seniors who have skills in areas like carpentry, household repairs, and painting provide their service to other seniors for $10 an hour and Telephone Reassurance Program. This is another program where seniors help seniors by keeping in touch on the phone. Construction is under way to build a new Seniors Resource Centre, Jeannine said. This Centre will be the first Community Recreation Centre for Seniors in Langley. The new Centre will carry memberships for up to 2,000 people and provide lunch for up to 250 daily. "We want to involve seniors in the planning of our programs so we're forming an advisory committee of seniors so they can have direct input in future programs," she said. The new Centre will also have space available for other community groups to rent space. The cost of the project is $2.5 million. January is Alzheimer Awareness Month. Alzeheimer disease is a leading cause of death among Canada's elderly. There is no known cause for this degenerative brain disease that afferts an estimated 300,000 Canadians (34,000 in B.C.) and causes 10,000 deaths a year. Symptoms of Alzeheimer Disease include memory loss and confusion. As the disease progresses, other mental functions such as language and orientation diminish and the person may experience difficulty with personal hygiene and eating. Eventually the person requires total care. Accurate diagnosis of this disease is of the utmost importance because other treatable conditions can cause the same symptoms. mm%& Guaranteed Exchange of 21% or Better I i I I 1 1 1 l l I 1 1 I i 1 1 I i i j 1 p I EDALEEN DAIRY mmmkwrnmm**T*mmmmmmnt*mm LOCATED ONE MILE SOUTH OF ALDERGROVE BORDER ;Vib GREEN BANK' $099 i Medium fc with coupon I Limit 2.

According to a study done for BC Tourism by Simon Fraser University researchers, traffic on the river has increased 200 percent since 1989, mainly due to a publicity drive by environmentalists who want to stop the $10-billion Windy Craggy mining project. The mining company, Geddes Resources Ltd., has put the value of the copper and other metals in their claim on Windy Craggy mountain at $8.5-billion, and has promised to employ 600 people during the estimated 20-year life of the mine. By contrast, BC Tourism puts the economic value of the river as a tourist destination at $1.3-million a year. JILL-OF-ALL-TRADES Will do any honest work.

Richard Reid is a painter living at Christina Lake. He received his BFA at the University of Manitoba in 1955 and was assistant professor and chair of the BFA program at UBC 1970-79. After leaving Vancouver he became the founding director of the Grand Forks Art Galley and a teacher in ECCAD's Outreach program. His work has also been exhibited widely, nationally and internationally. The jurors' basis for selection will be flexible in order to be sensitive to the diversity of work submitted. In general, selection will not be based on the marketability of the work but rather on the creative explorations being undertaken by an artist. In some cases there may be a concern for the more formal qualities, such as the elements of good design, technical skill, and the aesthetic sensitivity/interaction in the choices made in respect to medium and materials used. In other cases there may be a greater concern for content, such as the intent or idea inherent in a work, or the unusual and unexpected manner in which a work is conveyed.

OMETHING FECIAL f ;|: HAIR DESIGN 18 THE ALDERGROVE STAR- JANUARY 28. 1993 Urban cowboys In Walter Mitty world Cochrane promotes 30 hour famine WASHINGTON - In a streamlined suburb of Washington called Rockville, just seven miles from the White House, right opposite Bloomingdale's department store, is the place where the American capital's cowboys and cowgirls let it all hang out. It is called Country Junction, and you'll find them there seven nights a week, Capitol Hill secretaries and city consultants in all the dude gear, hoofin' it to the Nashville beat. The Junction, just a function room at the back of a motor inn, is typical of hundreds of country dance clubs springing up all over the US as townies hark back to the LeDoux Shuffle and the Texas Two-Step. Rockville may be the American capital's equivalent off Surbiton and the couples on the dusty dance floor are mosdy Washington pen-pushers who wouldn't know a steer from a Studebaker. But to watch them, with their thumbs hooked coolly into jean waistbands, high heeled western boots and saunterin' gait, you would think they were old cow hands at a prairie hop. Here they can forget the office and the pressures of a presidential transition and indulge in a little make-believe. Walter Mitty lives. America's country dance clubs have doubled in number to more than 1,200 coast to coast in the past two years and aficionados such as Barry Durand, 36, who runs Country Junction, reckon' it won't be long before Europe catches the bug, too. Something like that happened in the nineteen-fifties, when the craze for barn dance hoedowns spread from the States. Then every young British male knew how to do-si-do and every pony- tailed teenage girl had a swirly gingham skirt and flat shoes. Today's country dancing, the terpsichorean cousin of the Grand Ole Opry, is slicker, more refined and, for Americans, at least, it seems to have a classless appeal that spans the generations. Durand, who sits on the United Country Western Dance Council, says British and Dutch entertainments managements have been over to weigh it up. On the strength of that growth, the council is to hold its first 'World Championships' in Nashville. On Beginners' Night at his club, while about 70 dancers were put through their paces to a two-step by a male instructor in country shirt and stetson, Durand explained the attractions as he sees them. "Over here disco is dead. It ran out of its time and its image got too ugly. People started looking for something that was more social and more fun." Unlike disco, country dance is a "touching" pastime. Couples do it together, though sometimes partners are passed around, which makes it good for singles on the prowl and there are a lot of singles around Jn pressured, divorce-prone cities like Washington, DC. Durand says girls were the reason he took it up seven years ago. "I saw all those ladies who could dance and the guys who couldn't. It was easy pickin's." Sitting out the next dance, the Pony Swing, were Tom and Jan, he in his fifties, she her forties, both separated from their marital partners. They had struck up a relationship that very evening. "We had seen each other here before," said Tom, a 52-year-old personnel consultant from Virginia, "so it wasn't exactly a fast pickup." He asked Jan out during a lively number called the Tush Push and she accepted. Rozanne, a petite and purty 36- year-old NASA computer operator, was being whirled off her feet by her boyfriend, a ruddy and rotund real estate agent. She met him there, too. Some of the best performers will be competing in the "world" championships - although most, if not all, competitors will be Americans. But the organizers are convinced that will change soon enough. Langley unites against abuse of the elderly MISSISSAUGA - Canadian music artist Tom Cochrane recently returned from a trip to Somalia to promote World Vision Canada's relief and development work. Cochrane encourages Canadian youth to help feed hungry people by joining World Vision's 30 Hour Famine on Feb. 19 and 20. He visited World Vision feeding camps in Baidoa, Somalia, where famine and civil war drove the death rate last year to 250 people per day. Relief efforts have reduced it to less than 40 deaths per day. He wanted to raise Canadian consciousness of the problems in countries like Somalia. "It is probably the worst situation of this kind this century, but we have been numbed to it," Cochrane says. "The thing that sets people apart from the animals is the fact that we can care for each other. Maybe to a certain degree nations like Somalia are the Western person's burden - civilization's burden - because we put TomCochrane those weapons there: the United States, Canada, Russia. We are a big part of that problem." Cochrane, whose previous trip with World Vision to Mozambique inspired his hit song Life is a Highway, says many people are more inclined to listen to a celebrity than to politicians or the media. "I feel very privileged that I can make a good living doing what I do. This is my way of putting a litde bit back in." Double bill next treat at Langley Players LANGLEY - The Langley Players have selected a double bill of comedy and drama for their next production. Albertine In Five Times, a drama by Canadian playwright, Mkheffle Trembley will be paired with Next, a comedy by American writer, Terrence McNallay.

It's been cold out there recently, but it's heartwarming to know that there are many who care about their neighbors. lhe annual Christmas and New Years free dinner turned out to be an all- day session at Granny's Homestead Restaurant, as attendance exceeded expectations for the latter date. There were somewhat fewer people for the Christmas dinner than last year, possibly due to the higher number of Christmas Bureau "adopted" families and the deterrence of bad weather. The New Years dinner was filled to capacity several times over, however. Guests were mostly the elderly and disabled, who enjoyed the company and the luxury of not having to do all the preparation and cleanup themselves. Grany's wish to thank all those individuals and businesses who donated cash or food to the cause. Donors include Bob's Barbershop, Charlotte and Mike, Aldergrove Laundry-mat, Fraser Valley Bakery, First Choice Produce, Super Valu, Safeway, Sandra, Charlotte and Perry, Brian Rentz, Dianne Jakesthy, and Sharon Dennis. Due to the severe weather conditions, the flu bug and improper heating facilities, the House of Treasures Thrift Shop has been closed for the past couple of weeks. When the volunteers are ready to reopen, they will start with a half price sale and customer draws. Donations of goods may be dropped off at 27253 Fraser Highway or call 856-0622. But the bliss did not last When they first met they fell madly in love; they seemed "meant to be ..." They were married in a small town in northern Ontario where they made vows to love, honor and protect each other until death did they part. What the happy bride couldn't foresee was that the next 10 years would involve brutal beatings as well as ongoing emotional abuse intended to isolate and confuse her. Finally, after 10 years of this she gained the courage to leave him, pack her begs, take her children and begin a new life. The night she told him she wanted a divorce he repeatedly shot her while she slept. She survived 19 bullet wounds and lived to see her husband sentenced to 14 years in prison. And she was one of the lucky ones ... if you can consider that lucky. Over one million women in Canada have been assaulted by their male partners within the last 10 years. In 1987 it was believed that one in 10 Canadian women were victims of domestic violence; today, as public awareness grows, official statistics quote one in eight. Domestic violence is not confined to a single province, nor to Canada alone. It exists in all socioeconomic classes, all cultures, it has no educational barriers, nor religious or racial prejudices; it happens in all segments of society, in all kinds of homes. In 1990 alone, 106 Canadian women were murdered in their own homes by their boyfriends or husbands. Have you ever wondered why women remain in a house of violence? Perhaps we should question not why women stay, but rather why some men assault the women they love. Some women will be beaten more than 30 times before they seek help. There are many complex reasons why it is difficult for women to ask for help, or consider leaving their mates. According to a medical survey women fear retaliation, including retaliation against their children. Between the violent outbursts the men are often caring partners, loving husbands and fathers, and women want to believe it when they say, "it'll never happen again." Women feel that it is their responsibility to hold the family together at almost any cost, and they are often totaily economically dependent on their batterers. They also feel helpless, alone, and responsible for the outbreaks of violence. Wife battering is not a new phenomenon, either. In fact, it is as deeply rooted in society as many other customs. An 1824 British law, "rule of thumb", referred to a husband's right "to chastise his wife with a whip or rattan no wider than his thumb." The law was also applicable in Canada where, until 1968, a woman could not file for divorce on the grounds of physical or mental cruelty. Furthermore, domestic violence was still considered a humorous matter for some of Canada's political leaders as recendy as 1982; when the issue was raised in the House of Commons as a serious problem, laughter broke out among the members. If you know a woman who needs help, contact a local women's shelter or assaulted women's helpline.

JANUARY 28. 1993 Watch out for scams By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - It seems as though seniors are being targeted by telephone scams. Prizes amounting to considerable sums have just been won and money is required immediately to cover handling and other charges. Act at once it seems (before you have time to contact the Better Business Bureau). That's the way the message comes across. Some go so far as to ask for credit card numbers. Not only is there telephone soliciting but door to door as 'well. These people present themselves for water inspection, heating and electrical checks, etc., which is only a ploy to get into your house. All this sounds quite legitimate, one could easily be taken in. So beware! Check these people out, women as well as men. Make sure you're not one of the hundreds getting conned. The Wednesday dance crowd was fairly small. The spot dance went to Bill Dennis and Edna Moffat. 50- 50 was won by Esther Schroeder and Veni Nash. I guess the dancers were not thrilled by the weather Saturday evening and only about 45 ventured out. Door prizes went to Charlie Milward and Georgina Onstine. SO- SO was won by Mike Pitts and Belinda Bums. The spot dance went to Herb Cunningham and Ruby Norris, the second spot was won by Charlie Ried and Helen Souther. Mary Ann Ellis from Abbotsford was welcomed as first time visitor. Ambrose and accompanist will provide music next week. Don't forget the Choral Group whist party Thursday Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the OAP hall. People seem to enjoy the evening of cards, so come along and join in. If you are new in town it is a good way to get acquainted A few new people drop infer carpet bowling and we are so glad to have them. Two carpets were in play this week. It is a good way to . spend a snowy or rainy afternoon. The speaker at the general meeting Feb. 5 will be Rudy Senft, president of the Kidney Foundation. This should be an interesting subject for seniors as many have been afflicted with the disease. There will be no pot luck dinner in January at the OAP hall, but there will be during the other months. There will be reminders and mention of them in other columns. Think I will have bridge news next week if I'm lucky. Heard the casinos in Reno were rather quiet, but last week being Canadian week, Canadian visitors were treated exceptionally well. A few of our members were there for a winter break. Today is Jan. 25, the birthday of the great poet. So happy Bobby Burn's Day. Truthfully, I did see this bumper sticker this week "God made Scots a wee bit better." Delay in RRSP contribution not likely to be good strategy By JOANNE POOLEY In the coming weeks, Canadian taxpayers will be hearing from Revenue Canada. If that sounds hair-raising, relax. Remember that, in 1990, the government changed the rules governing limits for RRSP contributions, allowing amounts not contributed in one year to be carried forward in following years. Since the new rules and related calculations are complex, Revenue Canada now lets every individual taxpayer know just how much contribution 'room' is available in his or her RRSP each year. For example, if your contribution limit for 1992 is $6,000 and you contribute only $2,000, you will have up to seven years to make up the remaining $4,000 contribution. Because the new rules allow this carry forward or catch-up period, some taxpayers wonder whether there are any tax advantages to deferring their contributions. If you are in a low marginal tax bracket, say 27 percent, but expect to soon jump into a higher bracket, you might consider postponing your contribution until you've taken your step up so that you receive a bigger tax refund. In order for this strategy to work, however, your move into the higher tax bracket must be imminent. Every year you delay your RRSP contribution, you reduce the amount of time your investment compounds tax free. In the meantime, investments or savings outside your RRSP earn interest that is subject to immediate tax. Another much talked about strategy is to use the funds that you normally would contribute to your RRSP to leverage an investment loan. That is, if you were going to contribute $4,000 to your RRSP, use those funds instead as collateral on, for example, a $40,000 loan. As long as the loan is used to generate investment income - for instance, you buy units in a mutual fund or purchase stocks or bonds with the proceeds - the interest expense on the loan is tax deductible. You would then use your after-tax profits to make the catch-up RRSP contribution. The problem with this strategy is that it falls short if your investment doesn't produce sufficient profits to make up for all the RRSP contribution room available to you. In today's markets, poor performance is a very real concern. And if performance is abysmal, you are still on the hook for your $40,000 loan. There is also another scenario in which playing catch-up with your RRSP can be a recipe for disaster. If you die without having contributed to your limit, and you are survived by a spouse, he or she has only 60 days in which to make up your contribution, thus adding to an already heavy emotional and financial burden. For most taxpayers, risking your RRSP contribution with the intent of catching up later is exactly that - a risk. And if you make a practice of delaying that annual ritual, it could be difficult to break the habit and make up for lost time. I HAVENT GOT A THING TO WEAR You couldn't find a better job for Rhonda Phillips (left) suid Cindy Rowell of the popular Rogers Cable T.V. show "Sew Much More". As judges for the "Sew It Seams" sewing contest, Phillips and Rowell helped pick the finalists in six categories whose creations will be judged by professionals for a chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes. Awards will be given out at "Sew It Seams", the sewing, craft and needle arts show which takes place February 19-21 at Tradex at the Abbotsford Airport Driver charged Victorian era now revisited LANGLEY - An Aldergrove man will stand trial on charges related to a Dec. 6 collision that sent a local family of three to hospital Robert Allen Bellefontaine, 27, has been charged with three counts of impaired driving, driving causing bodily harm, and driving with a blood alcohol content of more than .08 percent. He appears in provincial court for trial, Aug. 17. Bellefontaine's vehicle hit Lome Swinden's vehicle head-on, in the 26300 block of Fraser Highway, Dec. 6 at 4 a.m. Lome Swinden and sons, Wayne and Brian were enroute to hockey practice at the time. Marketing at Michaud LANGLEY - Pat Mugridge hosts the Feb. 4 meeting of the Langley Marketing Group, from 3 to 4:30 pm. at the Michaud Heritage House, 5202 - 204 Street.

The group will be participating in the BC Place Spring Home Show, Feb. 19-28, and offer businesses exposure there for a fee of $50. For information call Jason Chu at 533^6127. WSSmi MATSQUI - What does heirioom sewing have in common with country music, home businesses, moving to the suburbs, four-wheel drives and entertainment at home? Well, according to Abbotsford sewing expert Debra Justice, it's one of the hottest trends of the nineties. Originally called French Hand Sewing, heirloom sewing is proving to be a popular form of home recreation for thousands of women. "My mother taught me the techniques about five years ago. Since then I've opened my own heirloom supply company and now teach around North America," explained Justice. Her portfolio also includes numerous articles and even a new video introducing French Hand Sewing. Justice figures that the art has caught fire because of renewed interest in Victorian era decor. Fashions such as christening gowns, white cotton blouses and lacy nightgowns, designed to look feminine and dainty, are making a comeback. "Heirloom is very special, not only because the clothing is made from natural fibres and lace, but because it's created to be passed along from generation to generation," said Justice. "Plus, it's the easiest sewing you will ever do." In addition to her busy local teaching schedule, Justice is booked on a cross-Canada tour this year. Her seminars, to standing room only crowds, cover everything from the history of heirloom sewing to the eight basic techniques that can convert a beginner to an expert in a relatively short time. In fact, Justice insists that expensive machines aren't necessary. "All you need is a straight stitch machine with zig zag capabilities, fine sewing needles and a spool of thread," stated Justice. "The best part of all is that heirloom is relatively inexpensive. That's why when I teach, I don't tell my students how to do it, I tell them why," she added. Justice is one of the featured speakers at Sew It Seams, the sewing, craft and needle arts show at Tradex from February 19 through 21. mam i SeoertDe Staplin i mcGiUum&Odj ASTERS & SOLICITORS ff BARRISTERS > v^fcssei m A Tradition of Service to the Langley Community Since 1953 PERSONAL INJURY I.C.B.C. and Accident Claims HU&H McCALLUM -18 Years Experience PATRICK STAPLIN - 20 Years Experience JOHN HIRA -19 Years Experience Trial Lawyers Experienced in settlements and trials to achieve fair compensation for injuries.

We opened our office on October 14, again on the second floor of the City Hall on 204 Street. We are most grateful to the staff and council of Langley City for providing us with office space. I am sure it is an inconvenience to give us the use of the committee room for three months when they are so short of space. We placed application forms for needy families and individuals to apply for a Christmas hamper at the two local Social Service offices and the Food Banks in Aldergrove and Langley, also at the Family Services Building on 207 Street. Letters were sent to many businesses, local churches, service clubs and to all the schools requesting their help in our "Adopt- A-Family" program. Under this program they 'adopt' a family or families from our list of applications and provide that family with a Christmas hamper. A total of 960 applications for hampers were received which included 1,410 children. 770 families were adopted out to our community and we did 190 hampers ourselves at Douglas Hall. We were given the opportunity to submit 525 children's names to CKNW Orphans' Fund, each child whose name was submitted received a $40. gift certificate for clothing at a local department store. We also purchased 750 $40. gift certificates from Zellers for children under the age of 16 that were not listed with CKNW, so 1,275 children received certificates for clothing. Many donations, particularly from schools, of toys and non-perishable food items were received. Cash donations were just over $14,000., our grant from the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau was $ 16,000. The only office expenses were had was the telephone and postage. Calli Printers supplied all our stationery. The Toy Box' in Willowbrook Mall placed by C-FUN provided many toys and gifts, our own Tree of Hope' also in the Mall for only a week was manned by local residents, and Girl Guide groups provided over 300 toys and cash donations of $880. K-Mart had their staff Christmas Tree which provided over 100 lovely gifts for children. The City of Langley gave us the use of Douglas Hall for three days to pack our hampers and we have the use of storage space at the City Works Yard Year round. We moved to Douglas Hall to pack hampers December 16,17,18, again we were fortunate to have so many hard working volunteers drop in, many helping for the three days it took to assemble 190 hampers. It was most gratifying to see the number of people helping and the number of toys and non-perishable food items that were donated. To mention only a few: Money's Mushrooms brought in 10 cases of mushrooms, several truck loads of non-perishable items were brought in from condos and apartments and from some of our 'drop off points', Langley Advance Petro-Canada Stations, Save-On- Foods and many, many more. Jim, Cec and Syd had everyone well organized sorting and packing the many food items that had been picked up at the schools by Murray, Stan, Laurie and Tony as well as the many other items that had been dropped off at the hall. We had sufficient toys and gifts to allow people in need to come to Douglas Hall to choose a couple of toys for each of their children. Friday, December 18, McDonald's Restaurant donated lunch for all our volunteers and by 4:30 p.m. the hampers were packed with the non-perishable food items, gifts and toys. At 8 a.m, Saturday the 19th in all the snow, Jim, Cec, Murray, Stan, Laurie and Tony picked up the perishables, milk, eggs, bread, fresh vegetables etc. at Super Valu to complete the hampers. Our very capable firemen from the City and District Firehalls arrived and by noon 170 hampers had been delivered. It took a little longer than previous years because of the snow. We kept 20 hampers for late comers and on Tuesday, December 22, we had them delivered or picked up. Without the help of our excellent office volunteers, Helen, Sandy, Verna, Edith, Rosette, Phyllis, Clair, Esther, Rene and Madeleine, it would have been an impossible task. I trust everyone in need received a hamper which helped to make their Christmas a better one. Our main function at the Christmas Bureau is to co-ordinate all the applications for hampers under one roof, so that all who are in need, get help and that it prevents any duplication. To all our volunteers, firemen, donors, and to those who contributed in any way large or small, to our news media for their help in keeping our 'Community Spirit' alive and well, our heartfelt thanks. We wish each and everyone all best wishes for a very happy and healthy 1993. Scholtens scoffs 'know it all' attitude MURRAYVILLE - "How little we know about affairs outside of our (own) jurisdiction!" Coun. John Scholtens said sarcastically Monday night. He added that much to his amusement other councilors liked to dabble in international affairs about which they were largely ignorant. Councilors Muriel Arnason and Aubrey Searle had proposed requests to the federal government of Canada that new legislation be introduced to deal with super tankers in international and Canadian waters. "Not too many here know about marine matters," Mayor John Beales agreed with Scholtens. "These are things that affect us. We are a marine province," Searle shot back. "But not a marine municipality," added Scholtens. Arnason and Searle called for improved federal inspection procedures and the use of double hull and double screw tankers only. "We must also ensure that the vessels are not rust buckets," he said. Your voice By IAbABRODIE and LOIS BRONK Thinking caps! Thinking caps, Aldergrove! We know there's thoughtful insight and interesting opinions floating around out there so if you've got something to say don't be shy!

JANUARY 28. 1993 Varied agenda MURRAYVILLE - Everything from post office to sewer lines to 'monster' homes was on the agenda here Monday night as township councilors discussed the future of Fort Langley. Councilors vote to write the federal government in order to get a possible commitment from Canada Post that the existing post office in the village will be maintained. Coun. Aubrey Searle also raised "the phenomenon of monster homes", and while it was acknowledged that this is "not yet an issue in the township" several officials thought that it might be a good idea to look at it now before it was pushed on the community. That, and the issue of sewers for the village were referred to the township's planning department for consideration. Men, women needed in reserves By M.PARNU A fact of life in Canada is that it occasionally snows. Another fact of life is that Canadians drive cars. Unfortunately, often the two can mean trouble when mixed together. Here are some general tips to help you drive safely this winter: Having a dependable vehicle is one thing less to worry about on winter roads. It pays to have your car tuned up and winterized. Change to a lightweight, multi- grade engine oil as heavy oil thickens in cold weather making it harder for the engine to turn over. Cold weather is also hard on batteries, so if your battery is a few years old check to make sure the connector cables are not corroded. Safety, mileage and tread wear are all affected by improper tire pressure. Check pressure often as for every five centigrades temperature drop your tire pressure decreases by one pound. Have the brakes checked to make sure you have equalized braking on all four wheels; this eliminates the vehicle pulling to one side especially when stooping on a slippery road surface. Take time to warm your vehicle in cold weather. Clear off the ice and snow and defrost all windows. Remove loose snow from the hood and roof to prevent snow blowing up on the windshield and piling up on the rear window as you pick up speed. It's also a courtesy to those behind you. Listen to the radio to find out about road conditions and accidents. For better traction, start out slowly and maintain an even speed. Jerky starts ahd stops can cause skidding. Slamming on the brakes is a normal reaction in a skid situation but the worst thing to do. Knowing how to handle a skid before it happens will help you get out of it safely. As a general rule, if in a skid, turn your steering wheel slightly so your car's wheels point in the direction you want to go, take your foot off the gas pedal slowly, de-clutch with a standard transmission or shift into neutral with an automatic car, and apply the brakes gradually and gently by squeezing the pedal until you feel it grabbing, then ease off and repeat the procedure until you stop. Your wheels won't lock this way and you'll maintain traction for steering out of the skid. It could save your life to have the following items as part of your in-car emergency kit: gas line antifreeze, flashlight, Call Police sign, flares, warm clothing or blankets, sand or kitty litter for traction if you get stuck, first aid kit, booster cables, shovel, tow rope, cable or chain. It also helps to keep your fuel tank at least half full. This adds weight to the rear of the vehicle and you'll be able to run the heater longer if stranded. If you do get stuck, open the car window a crack to allow fresh air in and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

The three percent increase brings the total spending to $3.29-billion. This increases average per-stu- dent funding from $5,661 toj5,700 per year. Minister Anita Hagen said about two-thirds of the increase is aimed at oovssring .enrolment increases, which may be as high as 2.5 percent However, 34 of the province's 300 independent schools will be cut out of the tax money they normally receive. The 1300 students involved are currently getting ten percent of the per-student cost from the ministry, a total of $670,000, as "group 3" schools. Rattle over for County Liners? ALDERGROVE - North Aldergrove Ratepayers Association believes it has won its battle against Provincial Corrections' plans for a youth detention centre in the centre of Gloucester Industrial Park. In a Jan. 13 letter to members, NARA co-chairman Al Grant said the group, through "efforts and contributions from all" have brought them to what they "hope is the end of this fight" Grant notes that the corrections branch has been given a warmer reception in Maple Ridge for the new Fraser Youth Custody Centre, and it is now seeking rezoning approval from municipal councilors there. "The rezoning application is expected to go to Maple Ridge council in the next few weeks but hill rezoning approval normally takes six to eight months," said Grant. "Corrections branch tells us that they hope for a favorable rezoning application in Maple Ridge on the basis of preliminary discissions with Maple Ridge council and staff, and that they have dropped the option to purchase the 272nd (Aldergrove) property. "Corrections branch indicates that if the Maple Ridge proposal falls through, they could again be interested in the 272nd property, if it is still available, or other Langley sites could be considered. Notwithstanding these cautions, we think it is unlikely that Corrections will reactivate a proposal in this area," said Grant. NARA, along with Langley municipal (xxmcil and the owners of Gloucester, had vigorously opposed the location of the jail here. Corrections branch had acquired an option on twelve acres of property within Gtouces- ter's industrial Zone, although the property is privately owned by a person not involved with the Glouoes- ts2r development. Grant also expressed thanks to its twenty or so people or families who helped NARA, including Gloria and Dave Hunt, Ron Hunt, Larry Wtikxtgiby, Karen Skonjals and Nina McLean. Expanding fleet MURRAYVILLE - Township officials voted this week to buy 14 new vehicles ranging from small cars and pickup trucks to tandem dumps. Total cost of investment: $432,000. Coun. Muriel Arnason asked if it wasn't possible that municipal employees could "pool" their use of the vehicles ("one vehicle Twould do for three people"), but other council members did not seem to think this was a good idea. A car or small truck might not always be available if the employee had to pick up the keys for the vehicle from a board in the offloe, they said. Coun. Aubrey Searle asked why the township would pay more than $13,500 for a small pickup truck when such vehicles were available from dealerships at slightly more than $8,000. But administrator Jim Godfrey said the vehicles chosen had 'king cabs' as this was found to be more usable in many situations. Contracts were awarded to four different dealerships.
