Over 1,000 youngsters from all across the province came for a week of fun and excitement in the 1996 PNE Party Zone, open daily through Labour Day, Sept. 2, at Hastings Park in V&ncouver. Photo radar "not wanted" LANGLEY - Township councillors appear to be shy and embarrassed about the matter, but under pressure from coun. Heather McMullan, it was revealed that an in-camera council decision had "defeated" a request from the province and lpcal RCMP to endorse use of photo radar here. None of the minutes were disclosed, although McMullan said she was not in favour of the decision. The request was for the area of 197 Street and 64 Avenue, which has been targeted by the provincial photo radar program. Langley RCMP Sgt. Wayne Treleaven reported that "this is the worst location for accidents in both communities" and provided several pages of documents supporting bis claim. "Please give favourable consideration to the recommendation to use photo radar at this location. It is a plus in that it frees up the police members from these locations to work other areas that also need to be addressed." Treleaven said the formula used calculated that the majority of motorists there travelled at or under 63 kmh in the 50 kmh zone. "They have set the tolerance at one kmh over the 85th percentile, or 64 kmh, and are now focusing on the fastest 15 percent of the speeding vehicles." Councillors have recently heard delegates who've argued that police officers operating the radar provide better protection for the public, as they are able to stop offending vehicles and determine that the operators are otherwise fit to be driving. As well as the benefit of a personal interview with an officer, and a fine, the offending motorist is assigned demerit points which impact on their licence and insurance. Photo radar only assigns fines, which are processed and sent in the mail to registered owners of offending vehicles. Coun. Mel Kositsky said RCMP Superintendent Martin has now requested a meeting with council on the matter, but Muriel Arnason said there was no point in "dragging this on, they do not need our permission anyway." FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE B&Es ON THE RISE Fight back" says police ALDERGROVE - If your home is one of the many which has been hit by break, entry and theft recendy, you probably feel vulnerable and helpless. However, the fact is that you can take control and "empower" yourself. Const. Al Wakelin said the Block Watch program and home alarms remain the best defence. "We could have police cruisers roaming through neighbourhoods on preventive patrols, but it wouldn' t do a bit of good. There will never be enough of us." Wakelin pointed to the success of the Block Watch program in the north Otter neighbourhood. "They had so many break-ins, they got fed up, and so they got together and started a Block Watch. You don't want to take it to the point of paranoia, but you watch out for each other, report suspicious vehicles parked in the area. It paid off for these people; last weekend, we busted two kids in the act of breaking into a home there." Wakelin laments that the Young Offenders Act allows youths to commit as many as hundreds of crimes without any serious repercussions. "We spend a lot of money just catching them. Officers, equipment, cars, dogs and helicopters all cost money, and we see these kids just get their knuckles rapped, if that It's frustrating," said Wakelin. He cited a recent case of a young offender he busted, who's probably responsible for 100 B&Es. The youth escaped custody, tying up officers and a dog for 90 minutes before he was recaptured. The youth was sentenced to open custody at Willingdon, which he fled the first day, and he's still at large. Wakelin said an average of 15 B&Es have been reported to the Langley detachment every weekend this summer. He said the trend is cyclical, and usually worse in summer because youths have more time and opportunities. In addition to the youths, there are also the more-professional adult offenders, as well as the "transients" from Surrey and the west, Please see page 3... MP says his job is far from done By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Fraser Valley West MP Randy White says that he has not finished his work in Ottawa, and he intends to do it by running in the next federal election. He said there are many things that need to get done, and in the future he doesn't want to question whether or not he could have made a difference. "If the people want me to finish what I started, they will elect me again, but I'm not going to make a career out of this. Eventually I want to get back among the living." White said the Liberal government has failed on most of its election promises, or made some cosmetic changes and called the promise delivered. "I left Nova Scotia years ago, because there were no jobs. On my recent trip back, I noticed young people are leaving in droves, because there are no jobs," he said. "What has changed? Nothing! The Liberals based their platform on jobs, jobs, jobs. Where are all the jobs?" White also pointed out the Liberal's incompetence in handling the country's debt load, which is soon to hit six hundred billion (600,000,000,000) dollars. "That is an incomprehensible amount of money, yet the government claims they have the situation under control. Really?" White went on to say that Canadians want major changes to the justice system, not just some 'jainor tinkering' with the Young Offenders Act, and the controversial Gun Control law. "Canadians want animals like Clifford Olson to stop wasting taxpayers money. I think there will be tens of thousands of people rioting in the streets if he is granted a (judicial review) hearing. "We are not going to give up on this fight. We have to show the people in Ottawa what real People Power is all about." White also wants his Nauonal Victim's Bill of Rights passed through the House in an un watered down form. He wants to implement changes to the immigration system and Corrections Canada, both of which have repeatedly failed the people of this country. "The Reform Party has to be tough and push hard for changes. Some people may not like how hard we are pushing, but if we don't push, we can't make the changes the Canadian people are demanding," he said. "We can't change the system by being mediocre or apathetic." PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 NEWS? CLASSIFIED? SUBSCRIPTION?

Murrayville's galloping growth led by taxpayers' investment MURRAYVILLE - Millions upon millions of dollars are being invested in this community by . both the government and private companies, and this growth is now spilling across the Fraser Highway, as its agricultural land reserve limits are beginning to curtail the spread of construction. On Monday, council approved the calling of a public hearing to hear comments regarding amendments to the community plan, involving 60 acres of land on the north aside of Fraser Highway, pear the hospital. This would increase densities, relocate a planned park and change future road patterns. Coun. Muriel Arnason objected to planned increased density from under 500 residents to 1,694 residents, as well as the impacts on schools and parks. "I have never agreed with the GVRD (recommended) density," said Arnason. "Where will these people shop? What about the traffic along the highway? I will not support this." Couns. Steve Burton, Heather McMullan and Steve Ferguson each own private developments in Murrayville, and have approved the spending of tens of millions of township dollars in the area: infrastructure such as sewer, water, roads and underground utilities, as well as several new government buildings. However, this council is unable to find a million dollars for a new Salmon River pumping station, despite years of pleas from floodplain farmers and volunteers who release salmon into the stream. As for Aldergrove residents, who complain their municipal water smells like rotten eggs, council has money only for another study. Success proves! customers are right? WALNUT GROVE - Huge crowds "stampeded" inside the first Save-On Foods store to open in the Township of Langley last weekend, commented coun. Mel Kositsky, who witnessed the grand opening. He said the store was forced to keep customers outside waiting in line, while the first phalanx of eager buyers made their way through the aisles and cashier tills. Kositsky observed that while Save-On's parent company, Overwaitea has long had its headquarters based in the municipality, this is the first retail outlet it's built here. The store, and surrounding Mountainview Shopping Centre, now provides competition for the Walnut Grove IGA store and shopping centre. Kositsky recalled that council "had a lot of difficulty bringing the store to creation," as a minority of Walnut Grove residents opposed the store on the grounds that it would negatively impact the 15,000-resident community's "rural atmosphere." Several hundred delegates turned out in support of the store at the subsequent public hearing. An application from Save-On to build a store in Aldergrove, adjacent to the McDonald's restaurant, has the support of the majority of residents polled by Marktrend, but councillors said they are opposed because the application does not fit the township' s "plan" for Aldergrove. Apartments fl get go-ahead fl ALDERGROVE - Township council has approved development of a 15-unit adult-oriented rental apartment building at 2875 - 273 Street. The Roanoak project is adjacent to, and complementary to, an existing apartment complex. Coun. Muriel Arnason objected, as the increased density being allowed meant "very small suites... these are not conducive to happiness." The units would range from 695 to 895 square feet each, although they include outdoor patios and a common amenities facility. However, the majority of council agreed that these sizes would suit the lifestyles of the older singles and couples who would want to rent them.

"This better not be a private hearing, or you'll be hearing from us, Mr. Rock," said MP Randy White, who is spearheading the protest Serial child sex killer Olson made formal application for early parole under Section 745, the faint hope clause, in B.C. last week. White is co-ordinating a nation-wide effort to protest the taxpayers' funding of the hearing, the existence of any kind of faint hope clause, and Uie possibility the hearing will be held in private. "The public has the right to know what's going on here, and to voice its disapproval," White said. White's office is in the process of mobilizing concerned citizens across the country, as well as victims rights groups, to be on the alert for any secretive hearings planned. He said his office has been flooded with angry calls, and he's been convinced "sitting back and accepting this is impossible". Victims groups who have thrown their support behind the movement include CAVEAT, CRY, Victims of Violence (Gary and Sharon Rosenfeldt), the Victims Resource Centre (Steve Sullivan), National Concerned Citizens Coalition, Citizens United for Safety and Justice, Darlene Boyd (Alberta 745 activist), and Debbie Mahaffy.

The application from the Merks family would not remove any of their 20 acres from the Agricultural Land Reserve, but would allow creation of a new rural zone to permit construction of a rural farm market on one acre. The 1/400 square foot building would sell "mainly onsite produce — no grocery or sundry items" said Township Community Development officer, John Ger- Fight back, neighbours From front... who figure the pickings are easier in the rural areas. The homes are farther apart, there's highways and backroads for getaways, and there's less police presence. "Some of them use scanners and spotters to watch out for us," he added. Wakelin says these factors make it difficult for police, but, on the other hand, officers are well aware of the identities of most of the bad actors. The challenge, as ever, is to catch them in the act, and this is where alarm systems, and neighbours watching out for each other, comes into play- £2 "I know it's not easy when you can't see your neighbour's house, but it's proven over and over that Block Watch and getting to know your neighbours is your best protection," said Wakelin. "It doesn't take that much to set up, and then you can do a phone fan-out at any time, on a moment's notice. It's also good to have a meeting once a year or so, nothing heavy, just a social thing, to make sure you keep your contacts fresh. Then, if there's something fishy going on, everyone's aware of it" Those wishing to organize the program for their neighbourhood, must call the RCMP's Block Watch coordinator, Gerrie Wise at 532-3200. She will arrange an appointment in your home, where she will provide all the advice, information and documentation required to establish Block Watch in your neighbourhood. aghty, who added- that access would be from the municipal road, 228 Street. This would involve negotiation of easement, as well. Marlene van Baalen, agent for the Merks, said the proposed licence requires that the acreage remains in farm production, and off-farm sales would have to be at least 75 percent B.C.-grown. The Merks have been offering direct from farm sales to the public for five years, and, under this proposition, would have "more opportunity" to build coolers, storage and washroom facilities. The plan includes such things as school tours and farm machinery displays. Van Baalen said 153 residents signed a petition in support, and another 30 letters had also been collected. A weekend poll of neighbours found 20 "all in support." However, a 75-year-old neighbour, William Kelly stood up at the public hearing to argue at length that allowing commercial operations on farmland was a bad precedent, observing that in his youth, Burnaby was the Lower Mainland's "best farm area, today there's none. Leave the farms alone... every acre should be protected, or everyone will want a commercial operation. Stop the erosion... farms have other oudets to sell their produce." Kelly also said any expansion of 228 Street would cause the loss of three acres to roads. He said a previous mayor had promised him, in writing, that "228 Street would never be expanded." In other business, councillors debated the development of a Shell gas bar and McDonald's restaurant at 216 Street and Fraser Highway. The property is quite small, and the proponents would mainly cater to drive-through customers, and several councillors questioned safety of motorists at what has become a highly-developed intersection. These questions are being forwarded to the provincial highways department for their consideration. Coun. Muriel Arnason said it was "not an adequate sized lot for the activity", but administrator Jim Godfrey noted that the application "conforms with zoning bylaws." Council took his advice to approve the development permit, and then "encourage highways to address the safety aspect" Invest in Yourself Learn to Prepare Income Taxes Learn to prepare income taxes from H&R Block, the nation's No. 1 income tax return preparation firm.

The application was endorsed by the Township of Langley, as it met the criteria of the Rural Plan which had designated the area as Small Farms/Country Estates. The properties are between 256 and 260 Streets and 72 and 76 Avenues. ALC general manager Kirk Miller said they believed subdivision "would have at negative effect on the agricultural potential of the land and the integrity of the surrounding agricultural community," and the current parcels of 3.5 to 9.3 hectares should be maintained for "smaller scale, intensive or part-time agricultural pursuits." Miller said that, while the township's plan and zoning permits minimum lot sizes of 1.7 hectares, the commission has never agreed with the designation on this particular area. "(Our) rationale for non-endorsement was that most of the area was composed of properties larger than 1.7. hectares and characterized by soils that allowed for a wide range of cropping options. In addition, the commission is concerned that subdivision would heighten the expectations of surrounding property owners, leading to similar requests outside the area designated Small Farms/ Country Estates in Langley's Rural Plan. The cumulative effect of subdivision is increased residential densities, the loss of the. land for agricultural development,- the speculative purchase of farmland for the anticipated gains from subdivision and urban development, the withdrawal of agricultural investment, and the decline of the agricultural community." Earlier this year, in backing the application, councillors Steve Burton and Steve Ferguson had suggested that the ALC was bound to endorse the application because of the commission's praise for aspects of the township's Rural Plan. However, Miller said that while the commission supports the Rural Plan in principle, "The intent of the Act is to preserve and protect agricultural lands and farm communities in the longterm, and the commission truly felt that your application was not in keeping with that mandate." Man charged with trying to buy kids SURREY - A 64 year-old man appeared in provincial court charged with criminal harassment, after he allegedly approached a woman on two occasions in four months, trying to buy her infant child. In the latest incident, reported to police on July 16, the 24 year- old woman, her family, and the residents living in the area of 134 Street and 105 Avenue became concerned for their safety. The man, Trian Folia, was released from custody on an undertaking to appear in court again on September 9. E LIVE IN ALDERGROVE I SELL IN ALDERGROVE CALL THE ALDERGROVE SPECIALIST DAN FLOKSTRA mmm.

"Twice as many Canadians think it is important for the government to further reduce its spending than think it is important * for the government to spend money on job creation programs," concluded the survey, conducted by E<arnscliffe Research & Communications of Ottawa in late 1995. "Far from seeing deficit reduction and job creation as conflicting, one is seen as an essential precondition to the other. ...That is why Canadians, when asked what die most important issue is, place unemployment or job creation near the very top. 'Then, when asked what priority government should place on different issues, they rank deficit reduction higher than unemployment" Given several options of direct government spending to create jobs, a majority rejected them all as ineffective. "In fact, what Canadians are looking for from the government is not job spending but a jobs strategy. Twice as many Canadians thought it was important for the budget to have a jobs strategy as thought it was important for the budget to spend money on job creation," the report said. The findings, which were based on 1,607 telephone interviews, were used by Finance Minister Paul Martin to prepare his March 1996 budget In it, Martin set a deficit target of $22-bfllion in 1996-97, and $17-billion in 1997-98. The survey is accurate within 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The 32-page report and the hundreds of pages of statistical information were released under the Access to Information act I FTTFRS TO THE EDITOR Are the savings worth it? Editor, The Star, Sir, I have read several articles by Rich Coleman complaining about the wages paid to construction workers. He says the government's fixed wage policy is costing B.C. taxpayers at least 20 percent more to construct government projects. Twenty percent of $7 is only $1.40, and even by dropping the $1.40, it will be far short of $42- million for the 200 Street overpass. I am sure the NDP want to be in Parliament that long. I remember Expo and the Coquihalla highway when it was rumoured that, if you wished to keep your job, you were expected to pay back part of your wages; even that did not build overpass or school. I would like for Rich Coleman to produce the figures as to how he came up with the $200- million overpayment on the construction of the Island highway and other projects. But maybe if Rich Coleman would be kind enough and give up his pension, work for what he would like construction worker to work for, it might just go farther to building the overpass. The money paid to construction workers stays in the area and is spent in the area, it is not shipped out to some south sea island, to be used to exploit the people there. TED HANSEN, Aldergrove Show your true "spirit" Editor, The Star, Sir, One night about three months ago, a cowardly individual tied a young pregnant dog and her 10 week old puppy up outside an SPCA shelter, which was closed. I happened to be at the shelter treating an injured horse, and saw; her in the kennel. I was told that she would in all likelihood be destroyed soon, as the shelter was overloaded with.abandoned animals and could not afford to give up an entire run to her and her soon-to-arrive pups. She was obviously a wonderful dog with a desire to please, and very friendly. On the prompting of one of the SPCA officers, I agreed to foster her through whelping until the pups and their mother could be adopted out. The night before she gave birth, I dreamed she produced one big puppy, which could certainly have lightened the burden of finding good homes! Alas, she had 12 very healthy, beautiful puppies. The time has come to find adoptive homes. These pups (Sheltie/malamute/? cross) will be ready to go the beginning of September. Although they will remain with me until they are adopted, prospective owners must go through the formal adoption process at the SPCA. Please call my office, 882-0426, for more details, or to arrange to meet Spirit and her children. GAIL JEWELL, D.V.M.

Legacy grows bigger Editor, The Star, Sir, On Sunday, September 22, thousands of Canadians will mark the sixteenth year of the Terry Fox Run by participating at more than 3,900 Terry Fox Run sites throughout Canada. In 1995, the Terry Fox Run experienced its most successful year to date. Close to $980,000 was raised in BC and the Yukon, with a total of $ll-million being raised by national and international Terry Fox Runs. We are proud to announce that over $168-million has been raised in Terry's name for innovative cancer research since his Marathon of Hope in 1980. The Terry Fox Run is now the largest single day fundraising event in the world for cancer research. Many advances have been made in the early detection and treatment of cancer. It is a long and painstaking road finding a cure for cancer, but it will happen. It may not happen tomorrow, next year or ten years from now, but it will happen. As Terry said "Dreams are made if people try." The Terry Fox Run clearly could not succeed without the joint support of newspapers, like Aldergrove Star. Ifs our hope that 1996 will be the best year ever, and with your support in helping to inform the public, it will happen. My sincere thanks for any coverage you can provide and for keeping Terry's dream of finding a cure for cancer alive.

BILL RICHARDSON, Vancouver Support makes difference Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of the Harrison Festival I would like to thank you for everything you and your paper did to help us spread the word about the Harrison Festival (If the chain papers were half as supportive, all the wonderful arts events that happen in the Fraser Valley would be much better known). Your support is gready appreciated and is very much a critical element in allowing us to stage this event This year's Festival was a great success, with wonderful weather, an exciting program and good crowds. Everything ran smoothly and there was a real festive feeling in the Village. The Harrison Festival Society is committed to presenting quality performing and visual arts at the July Festival and at the ten to twelve events we do throughout the rest of the year. However, this would not be possible without the tremendous support and encouragement we receive from individuals, businesses and organizations in our region. We are very mindful that we could not do what we do without your assistance and for this we thank you. ED STENSON, Harrison Hot Springs Farm has supporters Editor, The Star, Sir, We are close neighbours of the Johnston family and operate a small farm at 26262-5A Avenue. We have known the Johnston family for over 16 years. We have personally inspected the site and plans for the proposed gravel extraction and agree that the resulting land improvement would make for a much improved fanning operation. The current very steep hills limit the agricultural usage of this land to pasture and must make the operation of farm equipment hazardous in several spots. There is an ongoing need for gravel to support the growth of this part of British Columbia, and this has resulted locally in several similar farm improvements, such as some of our other neighbours. We understand that before proceeding with this improvement the plans will have to satisfy both water and transportation rules. If rural property is to be subject to the Agricultural Land Reserve restrictions, then real support must be offered to those farmers who wish to improve their operations. We strongly support this request for improving the farming operations of the Johnstons.

Facility manager Ken Pruden said the freshly- completed rooms will start filling up this week, drawn from the waiting list, enabling local families in need of the specialized care to remain together in their own communities. -Kurt Langmann photo Alzheimer care facility a first for Aldergrove ALDERGROVE - Country Lane, a new 22-bed special care unit for seniors requiring higher levels of care, opened at Jackman Manor on Saturday afternoon. "The special care unit will increase Jackman Manor's total bed capacity to 86 beds and help the community respond to the growing demands for placement of seniors with special care needs," said health minister Joy MacPhail. The new unit was built to multi-level care standards with wheelchair accessible rooms and wide hallways. An indoor/outdoor wandering loop provides residents with year round access to a secure outdoor garden area. The unit also features a kitchen area so residents and family members can share meals and special occasions. "The $ 1.5-million our government has invested in this facility is an excellent example of our continuing commitment to protect and improve health services for British Columbians," MacPhail said in a letter of greeting to the facility. Jackman Manor opened in 1982. With the addition of a spe cial care unit, Jackman Manor will provide enhanced services to seniors who have various degrees of dementia. "On behalf of the Jackman Manor board of directors and the Aldergrove Lions Qub, I wish to thank the provincial government for this continued financial support for this fine extension to Jackman Manor," said board chair Tom Latter. "It was with great pleasure that our Lions Qub was able to expend our energy and effort into this project. The Lions Club has been serving the community for 25 years, and we look forward to many more years of service and community growth." The Ministry of Health, through BC 21, provided the $ 1.5- million in capital costs for the project. The project is exempt from the current review of provincial capital expenditures, since it was legally committed to proceed. Like those projects under review, it is debt financed. The minister of finance recently announced a freeze on all new capital spending, and ordered a review of all aspects of government's capital, with the goal of reducing spend ing and related debt. An additional $353,000 for furnishings and the purchase of special bathing equipment was provided through community fund-raising by the Jackman Manor Foundation, through the Aldergrove Lion's Senior's Housing Society. Local legal assistance improved ALDERGROVE - The Langley Legal Assistance Centre is moving its Aldergrove office to provide improved service for south Langley and Aldergrove residents. Every Thursday, residents have the opportunity to meet with a paralegal or apply for legal aid in the Aldergrove Neighbourhood Centre at 26970 Fraser Highway. The Langley Legal Assistance Centre is a non-profit society that provides legal assistance and information to members of the community who may not have access to private bar lawyers due to their financial situation. The centre can help with a variety of legal issues including small claims, WCB, wills and estates, landlord and tenant problems as well as take criminal, family and immigration legal aid applications. Legal information counsellor, Angela Boddez hopes that Aldergrove residents use the new office because "It is more convenient and close to home, especially for people without transportation." She also added that "It is much quicker to talk with someone in Aldergrove because they work by appointment and not drop-in, as is the case in the Langley office." If you would like to make an appointment or would like more information, contact the Langley office at 530-5811. South residents tackle compost ABBOTSFORD - Roger Clapham said this week that the newly-formed South Aldergrove Residents Association has 30 members and is welcoming additional members. Their goal is "to protect the quality of life of people living south of the Fraser Highway, east of Langley (city) and west of Abbotsford (city)." Clapham, an apiarist who farms on LeFeuvre Road, said, "At present we are tackling the problem of foul emissions from the composting industry, and are opposed to any future plans for the expansion of the composting industry in our area." Clapham can be reached at 856-2085 or fax 856-5501. E-mail to roger_clapham@mindlink. bc.ca. Injured escapee back in custody ABBOTSFORD - A 24 year- old man is in police custody after fleeing upon being arrested, and jumping through a plate glass window at an apartment complex on Dahlstrom Avenue. William Donald Laurie was taken to MSA Hospital, where he was treated for minor cuts and abrasions and released into police custody. He appeared in provincial court, where he was charged with breach of recognizance, escape lawful custody, assaulting a police officer and mischief to property. Railroads get a big break LANGLEY - Changes to the provincial policy of property assessment and taxation of railroads means a loss of $131,000 in township tax revenues, although a financial report delivered to council, Monday suggested that this "will be made up by natural growth in the municipality and not cause an appreciable difference to the average taxpayer." Coun. Mel Kositsky worried about the loss of "significant revenue" but administrator Jim Godfrey pointed out that the ongoing building boom was increasing assessments by up to five percent annually. The provincial cap to the rail tax rates will be phased in over the next three years, at a local cost of $131,000 when fully implemented in 2000. Godfrey's report noted that the railroad industry has been lobbying Victoria for the changes, arguing that B.C. property tax rates are higher on railroads than other jurisdictions. Adjustments introduced in the late '80s were ineffective because municipalities raised their tax rates to compen sate for the drop in assessed value. "This action had a detrimental effect on other taxpayers such as hydro and telephone companies, as their taxes went up with no adjustment in the value of their properties," which has resulted in the proposed new provincial cap on the tax rates. However, communities such as Abbotsford and Chilliwack are much more severely affected by the changes, and intend to protest this at the GVRD offices on August 28. John Les, the mayor of Chilliwack and chairman of the Fraser Valley Regional District, said, 'The province is implementing dramatic reductions to the property tax base of many communities with, effectively, no consultation. Most of these communities are experiencing hard economic times^ yet the $15-million tax break will be given directly to railways, particularly CN and CP, who are removing jobs from these same municipalities. Other utilities will surely demand the same benefit." The Final Blowout Sale of the m % METRO I Superior Condominiums m miinues!

The Longauers' sleek Arabian, Reiaktion, was the star of the Arabian section of the PNE Horse Show, being named both the English Country Pleasure and Hunter Pleasure Champion and Reserve Champion Show Hack, as well as placing first or second in five other classes. There was excellent exhibitor response to the Arabian show, which was moved to the first weekend of the fair this year. Numbers were up again in the miniature horse division, particularly the driving competitions, making it easily the largest section in the first half PNE Horse Show. Taylor Hildebrandt of Langley was one of its stars. She steered Marquis Splash of Brandy, owned by T & J Harrison, to victory in the roadster, youth showmanship and youth costume classes. Entries in the saddlebred division started to rebound after declining in recent years. Diane Cross of Surrey topped the performances, winning two classes with Precisionist and two more with Demarara Prince. "We are extremely pleased with the response so far," says PNE Horse Show co-ordinator Mary-Ellen van Dongen. "The first three days of this year's show were tremendous, and the second half of our show, Aug. 26-Sept. 2, promises to be even better, with large contingents of thoroughbreds, sport horses, quarterhorses, heavy horses and jumpers."

Arenl I moo-tiful! This Holstein heifer poses for the Pacific National Exhibition camera as she gets a final clipping from Heather Stewart of the Matsqui Holstein Club. Heather and her heifer were participating in 4-H Week competitions at the Pacific National Exhibition. Over 1,000 youngsters from across the province came to the PNE for a week of fun and excitement in the 1996 PNE Party Zone. YOUNG FARMERS "INCREDIBLE" 4-H is PNE highlight VANCOUVER - Once again, 4-H Week has been a highlight of the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. The PNE has hosted 4-H and its predecessor, the Future Farmers program, continuously for over 50 years. As a result, PNE 4-H Week has become the ultimate experience in a 4-H'er's year. About 1,000 youngsters from all over British Columbia are a part of 4-H Week, making it the largest program of its type in North America. PNE 4-H Week includes two separate but complementary programs: a PNE competition program, as well as a judging rally and special events organized by the provincial 4-H council. "The overall success of 4-H Week is a result of the joint efforts of the provincial 4-H council and the PNE," says PNE director of agriculture John Dressier, "and clearly demonstrates our -continuing commitment to agriculture and the future farmers of this province." Youngsters compete in displays and demonstrations, showmanship and judging in addition to a complete array of Uvestock and horse competitions. There are individual competitions and contests which promote teamwork among club members. While dairy and beef cattle continue to represent the largest 4-H categories, the 4-H program is ever-expanding. Horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, poultry, llamas and dogs all participated. The PNE program also included competitions in foods, sewing, creative writing and fashion and a demonstration by the province's first 4- H equestrian vaulting club. Besides these elements, other provincial judging rally projects were crafts, small engines and leathercraft. "PNE 4-H Week shows the incredible diversity of the 4-H program, and its openness to non- traditional, non-rural members," Dressier says. As part of that openness, the program includes an urban-rural exchange, whereby select 4-H' ers host local inner- city youth for a day in the PNE barns and on the grounds. 'The program lets urban and rural youth learn from each other and gain experience they will both benefit from." Local farmers prominent at PNE VANCOUVER - Two Langley farmers were prominent in the 1996 Pacific National Exhibition Ayrshire Dairy Show, Aug. 20. Sandy Nordman of Craigentinney Farms was named the show's premier exhibitors. Judge Gordon Ells of Saskatchewan awarded the junior championship to Craigentinney Savage Lily, Nordman's promising calf. She also showed the first five- year-old, second calf, second senior yearling, second three- year-old and second mature cow. The Anderlini showherd included the first and second junior yearlings, first two-year- old, first mature cow and second four-year-old. "We were extremely pleased with the quality of our Ayrshire show," said PNE Dairy Show chair John Blair, also of Langley. "The local breeders brought out some fine cattle and were also able to attract some Alberta exhibitors to join them in Vancouver." iS^'iST '■■ -1 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 28,1996 Check l'l'M1bi'ilJil4--i:is'l44-- Heinz ketchup squeeze, 1 L Limit 2 per family purchase. 004895 2.39 President's Choice™ soft drinks j| assorted varieties, 12 x 355 mL Limit 2 per family purchase. 368035F 2L 4.88 no name™ potato chips assorted varieties, 180 g 324574 75 chicken legs frozen, back attached. sold only in 5 kg cartons at $8.25 each "GREAT ON THE GRILL" 1.65 kg 473348 lb .75 teddy's choice™ jumbo diapers 44 - 72's 0192716F 11.68 apple pie 680 g 380519 2.39 Prices effective until closing Saturday, August 31,1996.

It was a remarkable feat, since this was only Epp's second trip to the showring, his first being Abbotsford three weeks earlier, and since Epp has never had a farm despite owning purebred dairy catde for over twenty years. Judge Gordon Ells of Saskatchewan selected Epp's massive junior three-year-old cow, Epp- dale Boots Doubleplay, as his grand champion. Boots, which also won the best udder award and the Abbotsford grand championship, towered over the field despite stiff competition from most of British Columbia's top Holstein showherds.

School does things differently LANGLEY - One new school to be built in Langley City this year is different: it's prefab, it's private, and it's prepared for any child aged two to nine, offering instruction in all-day, preschool, kindergarten and grades 1 to 3. Situated on 198 Street near 56 Avenue, the new Langley Montessori Children's Centre will be a 6,600 square foot building. But you won't see workers Titles are but nick-names and every nick-name is a title. -Thomas Paine Back to School I Supplies!

Aldergrove putting the finishing touches on the new building if you drive by today, because it's not there yet. The new school is being built by Britco Industries in its Aggasiz prefab plant "We went with a prefab school because we only had the summer in which we could put it up," said LMCC administrator Leslie Stet- tler. "We didn't have time to build on-site." Britco project manager Alvin Schellenberg agreed. "Prefab construction is quicker, and we feel the quality is better. We're not delayed by weather, which can also damage building materials. Building inside means we can keep a very close eye on quality." Inside Britco's 90,000 square foot factory, between 60 and 70 people are working to complete the school for the scheduled September 5 delivery date. Once Britco delivers the school in 12 sections, the job will be finished on-site. Said Schellenberg, "We'll finish all the joining sections inside and outside, and finish the roofing on-site, then hook up the electrical and plumbing, and it's ready." THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR Once the school is open, LMCC will welcome three new teachers, bringing the total staff to 8. Most of LMCC s teachers have more that five years' experience, and have received lots of accolades from Surrey and Langley parents and children alike. All teachers have received training in the increasingly popular Montessori method of education and in Early Childhood Education. The new school will have five classrooms, a multipurpose room. a kitchen, an office, and nine toilets in six washrooms. It replaces the smaller school torn down earlier this summer that LMCC had occupied for the previous eight years. Stettler expects to have about 100 children for the 1996-97 school year. "We'll have an all- day group from 7:30 in the morning to 5:30 at night, two morning and two afternoon preschool and kindergarten classes, and elementary school for grades 1 to 3. She noted that the elementary class, while following Montessori examples, must stricdy adhere to the Ministry of Education's guidelines. The new elementary teacher is Ursula Hodgson, who co-founded a Montessori school in Saskatchewan that teaches children up to grade 6. "Ursula brings her more than 12 years of teaching experience, and we're delighted to have her," said Stettler. "Her experience and certification mean that next year, we hope to use our fifth classroom for instruction in grades 4 to 6. This year it's an extra room for music and French instruction." Stettler is looking forward to the school opening. "It's been such a big project." Then, with a shake of her head, she adds, "and it's been such a short summer," echoing a sentiment shared by many Langley students this time of year. Is LMCC full for the new school year? "Almost," said Stettler. "We have a few spaces left in some classes." For more information about Montessori schooling and the new Langley Montessori Children's Centre, call Leslie Stettler at 534-1556.

UCFV recognized 989 graduates this year, although not all were able to attend the convocation ceremony: 118 earned bachelor's degrees for the equivalent of four years of full-time study, 11 earned associate degrees (two years), 327 earned diplomas (two years), and 338 earned certificates (one year). The ceremony was held at Abbotsford Pentecostal Assembly. For the first time, UCFV granted some of its own bachelor's degrees. Business Administration and Criminal Justice graduates received UCFV degrees. Arts students earned SFU degrees, Child and Youth Care degrees were granted by the University of Victoria, and the Open University bestowed degrees upon graduates from the Adult Education, Social Work, and Computer Information Systems programs. "University colleges have many things in common with great universities, but they are also different, because they are also based on the roots of the community college," said president Peter Jones. Attributes such as an emphasis on teaching over research, a higher average age and welcoming atmosphere for mature students, a regional and community focus, a comprehensive curriculum ranging from adult upgrading to degrees, and a willingness to ease transfer to and from other institutions are what make university colleges unique, Jones said. UCFV Board chair Noel Hall urged the graduates not to focus exclusively on individual economic gain. "Personal ambition is great, but you didn't get to where you are today alone. Remember to take time to put something back into the system from which you have derived great benefit," he said. UCFV's dedication to lifelong learning and welcoming atmosphere for mature students was exemplified by two Bachelor of Arts graduates, Guy Rushton, 63, of Abbotsford, and Viola South- gate, 69, of Chilliwack. They received special achievement awards and Southgate, who has been taking classes at UCFV since it opened in 1974 — the same year some of her fellow graduates were born - gave the valedictorian address, in which she urged the university college to remain a beacon for freedom of expression and the exchange of ideas, and a place safe from the evils of racism, homophobia, sexism, and intellectual intolerance. The convocation ceremony paused for a sombre and emotional moment, when a Criminal Justice diploma was awarded posthumously to Kalvinder Gakhal, who was murdered along with eight members of her family in Vernon in April. Two of her uncles, Tajinder Dhaliwal and Hardev Gakhal of Vernon, accepted the diploma in her honour. She was so glad to see me go, that I have almost a mind to come again, that she may again have the same pleasure. -Samuel Johnson.

A total of 22 performers were recognized this way, during the festival held at Everett, Aug. 9-11. "That's better than winning the 6-49!" said Langley resident, Dave Hamel, who's a 50 year veteran of the music business and still heads up the popular Pappy and the Good Old Boys. Hamel was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on March 6, 1927 and was raised in Davidson, Sask. In 1947, having moved to B.C., he decided to pick up a guitar and learn the skill while following a career in aviation. His first guitar, a Gibson L7 archtop, has stayed at his side for all those 50 years: "My good old faithful has never let me down." Ronnie Snyder was one of his first mentors, helping him through the sore fingers stage of playing. Then, during a Hank Snow tour in Vancouver, Snyder and Hamel were auditioned, and the duo were asked to become part of Hank's floor show during his B.C. tour. This is a very special memory for Hamel. During' 1950, Hamel played various gigs with Pat Gerow, the late Andy Fraser, Taller O'Shea, John Barwis, Robin Roy Hatchard and Vic Pearce, before Hamel became the rhythm guitarist in the Delmar Trio. After a tour of duty in the RCM3EJL"Air Division", he joined the Golden Garter Saloon Show and had even more fun with the likes of Jake Doell, Taller O'Shea and Fran Dowie. In the '60s, Hamel joined Skyway Air Services, and had little time for music in the summer months, but indulged whenever opportunity arose. In 1972, he cut an LP record called Please Remember — and today still jokes about what great frisbees they make. In the '80s, Hamel, along with Susie Francis, John Barwis, Steve Johnston, Gene Ochitwa and Ray Tait, created memorable sounds at the Hot Jazz Club and other The good ship Pinafore here By MARILYN THOMAS ABBOTSFORD - Fraser Valley Stage Production Society announce that their first musical production, HMS Pinafore, will be presented April 1997 at the Abby Arts Centre.

For those interested in lending their musical talents to this production, chorus rehearsals will commence Monday, September 9, at Trinity Memorial United Church, 33737 Hazel Street, Abbotsford, at 7:30 pm. Please come out and enjoy the music and camaraderie. Auditions for key roles will take place in October. Watch the paper for times and dates. For information contact Peggy at 853-4722. Lower Mainland venues. Now aged 69, Hamel is still at it, playing on The Native sternwheeler (Fraser River Connection) most Saturdays and Sundays during their dinner cruise, as well as at weddings and other banquets in and around the Lower Mainland. His latest recording, The Wine Remembers contains two of his best-loved originals, a new rendition of Please Remember, and Don't Change The Rose Of San Antone, along with other great tunes. Elmer Tippe, a Pitt Meadows resident, was born in Eatonia, Sask. on Jan. 21, 1933. He learned the fiddle and banjo at age eight near Innisfree, Alberta and settled on a Pitt Meadows farm at age 12. Three years later he began entertaining professionally with his two older brothers, in a career that's taken him across the country and around the world, but he's always come back to the day jobs as a radio disc jockey and a farmer. These days, he's still performing and MCing and is happy to help and watch his award-winning son, Rick Tippe carry on the family tradition — and sometimes catch a few rounds at the golf course. Hawaiian steel guitarist, Pat Gerow of Vancouver is a double lifetime member of the American Federation of Musicians of the U.S. and Canada, and still serves the board of directors of Vancouver Western Swing Music Society, where he MCs their showcases and "has a real good time." His credits over the years include the Burns Chuckwagon Show, broadcast coast to coast, Sam Snyder's Water Follies out of Boston, and the New York World's Fair Aquacade. He's performed with the Royal Hawaiian Band in Kapi- olani Park, worked with percussionist Gerry Adams and his big band arrangements, and in 1976 his steel guitar was featured at Christ Church Cathedral in Princeton University's 20-minute presentation of Crossroads with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Undisputed champs HARRISON HOT SPRINGS - The biggest and the best is a term that is often overused, but it is certainly true, when applied to the 7th annual World Championship Sand Sculpture Competition coming to Harrison Hot Springs, September 4 to 8. General manager, Bob Bell reports that 32 more master sculptors will be attending this year, a 33 percent increase over a spectacular show last year. "We will see the first Japanese, and the first Russian teams to ever compete outside of Japan or Russia, as well as the first solo sculptor from South America. The Dutch will field a full four-person team for the first time." "With sculptors coming from four continents, it is truly a world championship." Bell adds that "we are in contact with sculptors in South Africa and Australia and hope to have them here next year. Antarctica is a really tough nut to crack, however." Society president, Bruno Gian- notta credits two new prizes for attracting some of the new entries. Britco Structures of Agassiz is sponsoring a $1,000 prize for The Best Architecture and the Cote d'Azure Restaurant is sponsoring The Best Hand-Build Sculpture. Many sculptors, and much of the crowd, enjoy smaller more detailed pieces, but the judging criteria rewards larger pieces with action characters. "These new prizes ensure that more sculptors, with/a variety of styles, will go home with prize money," said Giannotta. The total prize purse is now over $25,000. Other special prizes include the People's Choice Award sponsored by the Conca D'Oro Restaurant and the Sculptors' Choice Award sponsored by Troll's Restaurant of White Rock. The competition starts Wednesday, September 4 with two-person teams starting their 100 man-hours at 7 am. "I guess we really can't say man-hours," added Bell, "when three of the first four sculptors are women". Patricia LeGuen of Saskatoon is the captain of the Canadian Snowsculpting Team, and this will be her first sand sculpture competition. Her partner is Ulli Meng of Duncan. Next to her is Meredith and Mark Messmer of Treasure Island, Florida, who will be competing for the fifth straight year. Larger teams will join these two throughout the week, and at least 20 solo sculptors will start their 22 person-hour contest on Friday, September 6. Among them will be Liliana Savoia of Rosario, Argentina. Her work in bronze and stone has been exhibited on four continents. All work must be ready forjudging on Sunday, September 9 at 3 pm. Admission for spectators is $5 for adults on Sunday, and $4 on Friday and Saturday of the competition. Children under 13 are admitted for just $1. During the exhibition of finished sculptures, which runs until October 6, there are discounts for seniors, students and groups. Did you move into the area recently?

At about 6 p.m. on May 20, 1996 the Richards family returned from a weekend holiday to discover their 10' trailer with two snowmobiles on it was gone. Upon entering the home, they found that every room in the house had been ransacked, and many items were missing. The thieves had entered through the rear door by tearing off the knob. Once inside they took anything and everything of value including jewellry, a 36" television, a Macintosh computer, sporting goods and the two snowmobiles. Police investigation determined there were two suspects involved, a white male with short brown hair, and a female with blond hair. They drove up to the house in a white or light blue GMC or Chev pick-up at about 9:30 p.m. May 19. Once the articles had been loaded into the truck, they hitched up the trailer and drove away. So far none of the items have surfaced, but it would be quite obvious if someone suddenly acquired a pair of snowmobiles in May. If you have any information about this robbery or any other crime call Crime Stoppers at 669- T1PS(8477).

The series will combine archival material with interviews with historians, native and ethnic leaders, and B.C. residents, including a 102- year-old pioneer woman. However, don't expect a travelogue. The documentary series will stir up debate around provocative topics such as exploitation of natural resources; racism and immigration; and native issues. Academy-Award nominated producer David Paperny is the producer/director. Film footage and photographs for the project are being collected from museums, libraries and archival collections. "Much of the documentary material comes from CBC's own vast archival library. The CBC has been here documenting people's lives for many decades," said Paperny. "But we know there's some gems still out there." Anybody with archival film and/or video footage or archival photographs should submit their materials to: David Paperny, B.C. Times, CBC British Columbia, P.O.Box 4600, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 4A2. Paperny can be reached at 662-6657.

Pro rodeo bucks up Party Zone VANCOUVER - It was a thrill-a-minute as Pro Rodeo action returned to the PNE Party Zone, Aug. 22-26. The PNE Pro Rodeo represented the finals of the Skoal Inc Pro Rodeo Tour, a seven-stop rodeo circuit The excellent prize money being offered and the chance to win new leather saddles, compliments of tour sponsor, Skoal Inc, attracted some of the top cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo stock from all over North America. Competitors at the PNE Pro Rodeo included cowboys from Texas and Louisiana as well as a large number of western Canadian and northwestern US competitors. The quality of the competition was probably the best ever assembled for a PNE Pro Rodeo. Virtu- Clamdigger fined VANCOUVER - A Vancouver man was fined $2,000 in Surrey provincial court for illegally harvesting manila clams. A fishery officer was alerted by information provided by the fisheries department's Observe, Record, Report violations reporting line, April 9, that three individuals had been observed digging clams in a closed area in the Crescent Beach area. ally every one of the seven events in each of the four rodeo performances featured a current or former worid or Canadian champion. Audiences also cheered for the daily presentations of Wrangler bullfighting, in which three costumed bullfighters took their turns challenging the special Mexican fighting bulls. Feature competitors included former calf roping champion Marty Becker, four-time Canadian saddle bronc riding champion Rod Hay, current Canadian champion steer wrestler Todd Boggust, current Canadian champion barrel racer Debbie Guelly of Hudson Hope, B.C., and bullriding sensation Quentin Lowry. They were up against some of the top stock in the world, including the 1995 Worid Saddle Bronc of the Year and four-time Canadian Saddle Bronc of the Year, Kingsway Skoal, who bested another cowboy while in Vancouver. "We had full houses for each of our PNE Pro Rodeo perfor-. mances," says PNE director of agriculture John Dressier, "our visitors loved the excitement and energy, and gained a new appreciation for the skills once commonplace on ranches throughout North America."

Lower Mainland Pony Qub members this week, as the Giris Team with Karli Rice (Grove Pony Qub) and Jessica Morris (Campbell Valley Pony Qub) earned the Gold Medal for overall team effort at the Canadian National Championships held in Ottawa August 19 to 23. The Boys Team proudly came home wearing the Silver Medal: Matt Grant and Steven McLay (both from Langley Pony Club). These pony club members competed in a unique pony club event that consists of four disciplines: target shooting, 200 metre free style swimming, 2 K cross country run and stadium and cross country horse jumping. The Langley teams have been practising all summer at the Salvation Army Youth Center, and their practising has paid off with great dividends. With Pony Club activities starting up again in September, they expect to see an upswing of members participating in this sport as the athletes find themselves trying to obtain their own personal bests in all these diversified sports. They find that maybe they are strong in horse jumping and running, but that their swimming and target shooting is weaker. They'll find that their score overall seem to even out, and with the top quality instruction from Arno Baron (target shooting) and Lynne Chornobrwy (running and swimming), they see a remarkable improvement in only a short time frame. B.C. Lower Mainland region has 12 Pony Qubs for children to choose from to join and the quality of riding instruction is excellent, as seen by the scores earned at this prestigious national championship. If you want any further information, contact your local Pony Club or Barbara Morris, regional tetrathlon chairperson at 533- 7135. Cloverdale runs its "last race" SURREY - For 20 years, Cloverdale Raceway has made itself known throughout the harness racing world as a landmark track in North America. However, as of August 21, it has metaphorically 'run its last race'. Effective immediately, the racetrack will now be called Fraser Downs. On June 26, general manager Chuck Keeling announced major initiatives being undertaken by management, including the expansion of the track from a half-mile track to five-eights of a mile. The name change is a natural progression, flowing from the timely developments. "It is a new business and a new age," said Keeling. "As we intensify regional, national and international marketing of both our live and simulcast products, we are embarking on the most dramatic period of change since the track opened in 1976." Chuck Keeling's predecessor and father, the late Jim Keeling Jr., envisioned many of these changes before his tragic drowning this past May. With his father's passing, Chuck took over the reins, thus ushering in a new era for the track. "My father initiated the changes," said the 24- year old horse-racing veteran. "I am following his blueprint and bringing his vision full circle." Keeling contends that the new name is synonymous with British Columbia and also exemplifies the future of the racetrack. "We are the prime harness track of BC and the name Fraser Downs, reflects that," Keeling said. "It relates to the identity of Vancouver, Surrey and every community within the Fraser Delta and along the Fraser River. This is a crisp and uncomplicated name that captures the essence of British Columbia." Keeling believes that Fraser Downs represents a new direction for standardbred racing on the Canadian West Coast. The first day of racing at Fraser Downs is scheduled for Saturday, October 5. Thunder adds 7 LANGLEY - On Aiig.23, Langley Thunder Hockey Club announced signings of seven new , players. They are: Kris Boisselle (18 yrs., defense, Notre Dame Midget AAA), Brad Kielman (20 yrs., forward, Notre Dame Jr. A), Karl Mueller (20 yrs., forward, Germany), Reg Heinen (19 yrs., forward Fort Saskatchewan Jr. A), Roman Murmilo (20 yrs., forward, Langley Thunder Jr. A), Brian Herbert (18 yrs., forward, Langley Thunder Jr. A), Jami Wurster (19 yrs., defense, Ridge Meadows Jr. B).

Of course they have chickens, including a mega-rooster that starts crowing shortly after midnight and keeps on till about lunchtime. We figured that was it, but no - this week they brought in a donkey that brays with such enthusiasm, it must rattle windows in Surrey. And quite often the braying makes one of their dogs howl like the Hound of the Baskervilles. What's next, we wonder. Dirt' bike races? Hog-calling competi- tionsTExploding sheep? If it puts out enough decibels, our good old neighbours will bring it home. Does Aldergrove have a noise control bylaw? Just sign me: EARPLUGS. Dear EARPLUGS, I don't know about barnyard critters, but I think the District of Langley has regulations that control noises that interfere with the life quality of residents. If there aren't such regulations, there should be! My dear Annabelle, I have not been keeping up with my correspondence of late, because I have been afflicted with a severe sprain to my solar plexus. I shall endeavour to tell you how this came about It involves my very favourite hammock and some cows. During the Great War, I became quite fond of hammocks because this is the way we slept on ships taking us to die various war zones. When, to my delight, two trees grew in my luscious garden a few years ago, I instructed Hideous Golightly, my batman, to purchase a hammock, and then had him install it between these two trees. The past summers have been an absolute delight lying in my hammock, gently swinging under the branches. But enough. At the beginning of July this year, my next door neighbour rented his empty field to a chap who had cows! At first I didn't think anything of this arrangement but, lying on my hammock in my bucolic garden, I discovered that a lot of cows breed a lot of flies. I tried to ignore them but found to my great disappointment that I could not. Several weeks ago a great squadron of cow flies came through my fence and attacked me. As I was swinging at them with my fists, my hammock suddenly reversed itself, and I found myself flying off and landing on my chest on the ground. My sister, Tiny, and Hideous immediately took me to the doctor, as I had swooned from the pain. My doctor recommended I stay prone and also made an appointment with the local physiotherapist person for treatment So now I lie on my camp cot in the library and drink my Scotch and soda with a straw and am totally at the mercy of my sister and her husband. This is the summer of my discontent, and life is no longer worth living. If I could get my hands on my elephant gun, I would crawl to the window and shoot those cows. Hoping to pot a few flies at the same time. I will smuggle this letter out with our egg man, when he delivers on Monday. I trust your good wishes are with me. Yrs. in pain. Hugo (Huge) Wallop, (Brig. Gen. Ret) Dear Huge, The sympathy card is in the mail. Remember this though - old soldiers never die, they only faint' away. Project Phonebusters targets scams SURREY - Police are warning residents about an ongoing telephone scam being run by an organized and eloquent group of fraud artists from Quebec and Ontario. The RCMP Fraud section is receiving 10 to 15 calls a week from people, who have been contacted and told they have won a new vehicle or other valuable prize. The caller then states that a money order in amounts ranging from $300 to $1500 must be sent to cover the cost of administration and transportation of the prize. The prize does not exist, and the victim loses the money. In some cases victims are contacted two or three times and told the money order is not enough or got lost in the mail. The people being contacted are from various walks of life and financial backgrounds, but seniors seem to be the favourite target. Recently a physically disabled woman in her 70s was taken for more than $5500. Complaints of this type are being investigated out of Ontario by a coordinated police effort called Project Phonebusters. Investigators are compiling charges from incidents that have occurred across Canada. Anyone who has been a victim or intended victim of this scam should contact Project Phonebusters at (705)495-8501. An investigator will take the details and issue a file number. The Surrey RCMP advise that unsolicited telephone calls requiring money to be sent up front to claim a prize, is a fraud. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
