The decision is a result of a . provftjee-wide BC Medical Association referendum in which doctors were asked to approve changes in the way physicians will charge for seeing patients. TThe decision means that for the first 44 patients in a given day, a doctor will receive the full Med-, ical Services Flajufee. Between the 45th-and 62nd patient, physicians will receive 50 per cent of the fee. After 62 patients they will not be reimbursed at all. Nearly 3;,000 physicians voted, with 62.2 per cent voting in favor, 43.7 per cent opposing the restrictions. For seniors it is also good news, said the BCMA, as the fee payable to a doctor.for their visit will increase. This will encourage physicians to spend more time in dealing with the complexities of the medical problems that are more typical of the elderly population, without increasing the costs to Medicare. By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Fraser Valley Reform MP, Randy White is asking police to look into whether there are criminal acts being committee by Public Works Minister David Dingwall. White claims that Dingwall, who has been representing Cape Breton - East Richmond since 1980, has been diverting federal money to his own riding, and paying supporters through agencies under his control. Specifically, White said that $26 million was diverted from a highway project in northern Nova Scotia to the Fleur de Lis Trail tourist road in Dingwall's riding.

Agrifair President Larry Schmidt blamed the rain for the lower than expected numbers, but gave high points to all those who came anyway, with Joyrider dies in hospital SURREY - The 17 year-old driver of a stolen jeep died last -Wednesday in St. Paul's Hospital, of injuries sustained in a police pursuit crash. Ryan John Radak led police on a chase through Surrey after they attempted to pull over the stolen jeep. During the pursuit on Highway 1 between 176 and 160 Streets, the Jeep hit a police vehicle, went out of control, left the highway and rolled to a stop. Radak was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital, and later to St. Paul's. umbrellas and rainslickers, to support the fair. While attendance figures were down, Schmidt said the fair was a success thanks to excellent organization and enthusiasm. "We had the best fair we ever put together," he said. A record number of livestock exhibitors, more concessions and outdoor merchants, a sold-out Home Show, and the extremely well- attended rodeo and motorsports events all contributed to making ir the most comprehensive fair yet. Schmidt had expected better attendance to the main stage concerts, but the cold, wet evenings kept the crowds small, he said. Attendance for Friday was the same as last year. Saturday was up about 20 percent, while Sunday and Monday, the wettest days, attendance dropped 35 and 45 percent, respectively. On Sim- day, 31.6 mm of rain fell.

One was a drive by shooting of a residence near 266 Street and 29 Avenue, at 11:30 p.m, Friday, August 4. Little damage was caused. The suspect vehicle is described as an older, light coloured car. Another shooting was of a man westbound on 40 Avenue at 216 Street, at about midnight, Sunday, August 6. He was stnick by something in the side of the head which caused minor injury. It turned out to be a pellet which is believed to have come from a field on the south side of the road. Two other motorists reported having their vehicles shot at, around the same time and in the same area. One vehicle had the window shattered and the other suffered no damage. No suspects have been identified to date. Anyone with information regarding Uiese shootings is asked to call Langley RCMP at 532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 669-TIPS(8477). ^REE CLASSIFIEDS P^lfi^R SUBSCRIBERS-^INFORMATION INSIDE with the system when a Minister can take taxpayer's dollars for a pet project in his own riding," he said. "It's the ultimate misuse of taxpayer's trust." White, who assumed the position of Public Works Critic in July, has filed his complaint with the RCMP and Prime Minister Chretien, who has recendy hired an ethics counsellor to review ministers. "He hasn't once used it," said White. "It's just another facade. "The Prime Minister is trying to improve the ethics of the ministers, but he's only improving how unethical they are. "We thought improvement meant better not worse." MP Randy White has asked RCMP to investigate allegations against federal minister David Dingwall.

OR MAYBE NOT Saga of immigrant Pcriminal continues VANCOUVER - Convicted criminal Bounjan Aai Inthavong has been ordered held in custody, following a detention review hearing on Thursday, August 3. But adjudicator Lynda Mackie warned in her decision that there should be something more specific regarding his deportation to Laos at the next hearing or he may be released. Inthavong is currently being held pending deportation, after being ordered removed from the country in April 1993, and losing an appeal of that decision in January 1995. He was convicted of Aggravated assault in 1990 and sentenced to five years in jail. During that time he applied for and was granted refugee status. This deportation case is precedent setting as it is the first time ah attempt is being made to deport someone to Laos, a country with which Canada has no diplomatic ties. The case presenting officer, John Gardener argued that, although travel documents from the Laotian government promised for the first week of July have not yet appeared, there is no reason to doubt the word of the immigration authorities that the papers arc forthcoming. He said that 'high level communications' have taken place, and the court has to taken it in good faith that the Laotian gov- eminent,is going to issue die travel documents. "Discussions have been positive," he said, "but we are asking the Laotian government to do something they have not done before, and it may take longer than anticipated. We can't look back at other cases and remind them of what needs to be done. "The Laotian government has never let us down before in dealing of this kind, an they should be extended the courtesy apd understanding that the process will take longer than they thought." He also said that a decision on the Stay of Deportation, filed on July 24 in Federal Court by Inthavong's Legal Aid lawyer Chris Elgin, has not yet come down, and pending that result Inthavong cannot deported anyway. Gardener argued that Elgin is suggesting a lack of good-faith (on behalf of Laotian officials), and the burden is on him to show evidence that the Laotian government, has changed their minds or cannot be taken seriously. 'This is a very serious accusation that needs to be backed up," he said. Mackie questioned whether there has been any contact with the Laotians since July 1, and was told by Gardener there have been 'high level meetings' and the Canadian embassy in Bangkok, Thailand is dealing directly with Laotian officials. She was not impressed and mentioned the letter dated July 4, which says that the travel documents are forthcoming, but also indicates the Ambassador was not involved. , Deportation , page 2 PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C.

She also mentioned that the letter had the names of all officials involved whited out, except for the writer, Daniel Jean, Director of Immigration Control International Service, and said that Elgin cannot verify what is going on. The names should be in the public domain. However, Murray Wilkinson, acting manager of the, Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Centre in Vancouver said that the information (names of people involved) is available to people who 'need' it. "It falls under die area of privacy legislation as people's right to privacy," he said. "We can't divulge the names of tlie people involved on the other side, because we haven't asked Uiem if we could." Elgin said that there have been no official communications with Laotian officials since May 5, only a letter from our Immigration Department to an unknown person. _ He claims that the Immigration Department and the Minister of Immigration, Sergio Marchi, are responsible for the delays, and argued that he has been unable to review the decision made by the Minister that declared Inthavong a danger to the public, until just recendy. "I filed for a review of the case within 15 days of the decision," he said. " Only three days before the Stay application did I receive a copy of a memorandum from the Deputy Assistant Minister to the Minister that recommended Inthavong be declared a danger to the public oiid provided reasons. "We could have applied (for the Stay of Deportation) before, and the Justice Department could have responded before, but the information was not provided until now. "The only trustworthy information that I have is a letter dated May, 5 saying 'No." He went on to say that the continued detention of Inthavong is an 'extraordinary remedy'. "We are depriving Inthavong of his liberty for a specific reason - removal." Elgin sited several examples from a previous federal deportation case giving reasons why Inthavong should be released form custody. One of them was that, for over a year during proceedings, Inthavong was not in custody. He reported for parole, he didn't reoffend, and he attended all hearings when he was supposed to. Elgin argued that the reporting system can still be used. He concluded by saying that the Immigration Department has hit a wall. "The Immigration Department has been misleading us. They have no proof, and no details. They want us to believe Local aviators on world stage s ABBOTSFORD - Aerospace and aviation industry professionals from around the world will 'Touch Down in B.C." this week for Airshow '95, August 9 to 13 at the Tradex show site, in Abbotsford Airport. North America's largest aviation and aerospace trade show, Airshow '95 is billed as the event "Where Business is Done". British Columbia invites international delegates to meet a network, of B.C. companies and survey the. •capabilities of B.C.'s industry. and aviation companies have the skills, expertise and cost-efficiency to compete in the international market place," says Oksana Exell, president of B.C. Trade. "Combine that with our proximity to U.S. and Asian markets and our advanced transportation infrastructure, and you have a dynamic climate for doing business in this industry." Thirty-six B.C. companies and organizations are participating in Airshow '95, demonstrating a s/V VU VvVVVVsV. *.%UB*. % V VvVW include engineering design, stress analysis and precision machining, specialized maintenance and repair services, air traffic control systems, space technologies, industry software applications, and world-class training facilities.

As well as an industry information source, the center is a meeting facility for those.wishing to. learn more about B .C^'^q.pabilil»ffia|y Inthavong is to be removed but have provided no information to back that up. He should be released until they actually have a way to remove him." Mackie said that she does not believe Inthavong's detention is likely to be indefinite, although Immigration officials cannot, today, give a specific date as to when he will be removed . "Previous adjudicators have not released Inthavong because he is likely to pose a danger to the public, even with the knowledge that he has not reoffended when previously released," she said. "Considerable evidence was presented regarding the issue including the sentencing decision, police reports, and lengthy examinations of police officers, and from all the evidence, it is reasonable to conclude he will likely pose a danger to the public if released." She went on to say that she shares Elgin's concerns that the information is extremely general, ahd not helpful to determine the likelihood of success of the Immi- gration department to have Inthavong deported. "Why they can't be specific I don't know," she said In her closing statements Mackie said that there is no apparent reason to release Inthavong. She is still satisfied he is a danger to the public, and not satisfied that the detention will be lengthy or indefinite. There is no reason to doubt the July 4 letter from Mr. Jean. Wilkinson said that every effort possible is being made to remove Inthavong, and confirmed that there are 'high level negotiations' taking place, but even if they could deport him today, they, cannot because of the application for a Stay of Deportation. Fraser Valley West MP Randy White, who has been instrumental in bringing this case to the attention of the public said he is disappointed that the Immigration system doesn't work very well. He also called it the 'ultimate in contradictions', and said he is appalled a the process of Legal Aid. "The taxpayers are paying for the federal government to deport Inthavong and the federal government (through Legal Aid) is paying to have him kept here. Are we crazy?" "I'm not going to stop on these kids of issues," he said. "Legal Aid is on my list of things to do, but they have to take a number." "As far as Inthavong is concerned, all we can do is hope the Immigration Department will do what they said would do." Lamont may be let go by Brazilian court BRAZIL - Langley's Christine Lamont is among a group of convicts who are reportedly under consideration of an earlier release. Brazil's supreme court has ruled that the 28 year sentences are "excessive''1 for Lamont, boyfriend David Spencer and eight South Americans. La mom's lawyer is pursuing a request for formal review of the sentences handed out six years ago, following conviction of kidnapping of a Brazil businessman. Lawyers said the ten convicts could become eligible for expulsion to their respective countries in a year's tiine, if a significant reduction in sentencing is achieved.' Crimes compared LANGLEY - RCMP are investigating a link between the armed robbery of a local Domo Gas Bar and the arrest of two people for a similar robbery in Bumaby. The male and female suspects arrested match descriptions from robberies in Langley and Surrey. On Friday, August 4, a lone man with a knife held up the station on 88 Avenue, stealing cash and cigarettes. He escaped east- bound on 88 Avenue in a 1970 blue Nova or Ventura, with a woman in the car. The man has been remanded in custody for a court appearance, the woman has been released. Flip-flop on Franco 'a terrible mistake' -VANDHUIOQE _ RCJlefcwm- critic Len Fox has condemned the Harcourt government's creation of a Francophone Education Authority as a cosdy political sellout that Education Minister Art Charbonneau should be ashamed of. "Only a year ago, Charbonneau was dead against this notion, because he recognized that it sets a terribly costly precedent that will be compounded by aboriginal demands for school governance," Fox said. "The Minister has completely sold out B.C. taxpayers and capitulated his own position by bowing to the demands for a costly new self-governing education authority that will accord special rights and status to francophone students in British Columbia." "The province can't afford a Francophone Education Authority that will cost $4.2-million to run for 2,000 students," Fox said. wide range of products and ser- Jc^^indu^ capabilities , ^^^^-^^ VV* Mortgage Service - Any Time, Any Place!

"There has been a lot of criticism in the past couple of days about the media's preoccupation with violent crime, which seems to fly in the face of the latest statistics indicating that crime rates are falling in Canada," Weisgerber noted. "Much of that criticism is warranted, particularly where the coverage has been overly sensationalist. But I think it's also important to acknowledge the constructive role that the media has played in focusing British Columbians' attention on our crime problems. "Indeed, I suspect that a partial explanation for the falling crime rates may well be the impact of the media on people's awareness and concern about crime — especially violent crime. People are not only discussing the problem, but they are increasingly motivated to do something about it, both politically aud practically. "For example, it is largely due to the media's coverage of violent crimes that organizations like CRY, CAVEAT and the Melanie Carpenter Campaign Society have been launched, in an effort to educate the public, prevent crime and reform the Criminal Code and Young Offenders' Act. "Other initiatives such as Block Parents and Neighbourhood Watch have also been indirectly supported by media attention. We've seen increasing pressure for a national registry for convicted sex offenders, largely due to media stories aimed at publicizing the identity of dangerous offenders and preventing the types of tragic incidents that are reported daily. "Finally criminals themselves are surely not oblivious to media stories that indirectly speak to improvements in law enforcement and prosecution. The new law on .DNA evidence, for instance, has gained greater public understanding and acceptance, no doubt in large part because of its significance in the O.J. Simpson case. Coupled with TV shows like Cops and America's Most Wanted, there is a strong subliminal message that reinforces the value and effectiveness of law enforcement' in the 1990's, which may have a deterrent effect on crime," said Weisgerber. Grits revive three-year-old scandal VICTORIA - An old scandal involving a former NDP MLA caught three years ago charging two groups at once for his time has come back to haunt the New Democrats. The liberal opposition has aimed the spotlight on a 10-day period in early 1992 when ex-Victoria MLA Gordon Hanson billed both the aboriginal affairs ministry and a government-funded native group. An internal audit by the finance ministry reported Hanson's actions "could reasonably be construed as double-dipping." But according to a press release from then-Aboriginal Affairs Minister Andrew Petter, "Payments to Mr.Hanson did not constitute 'double-dipping'." Now the Liberals want Petter investigated, saying he should step down from his current post as forests minister until the inquiry is completed "There can be no more serious allegation than a minister of the Crown has misled British Columbians," Michael de Jong, the Liberal MLA for Matsqui, said during Question Period. Second car M jackercaught SURREY - An 18 year-old Surrey man appeared in court last week to face charges of Unlawful confinement and Theft in connection with a carjacking from a downtown Vancouver parking lot. His accomplice, Shirleen Chand was arrested one week earlier. Robert Gill was arrested last Monday at his Surrey Home where police recovered a fake handgun. It was a replica of a .38- calibre handgun, which would be difficult to distinguish from a real weapon. Gill and Chand are charged in connection with the carjacking, in which a male and a female forced the woman into her car at gunpoint, bound her hands and feet, and drove her to Aldergrove where they abandoned her in a ditch. The woman was forced to reveal her bank card PINs and police say a number of stops were made at banks on the way to Langley. Vancouver Police Constable Anne Drennan said police were getting ready to publicly air bank surveillance tapes last Friday when a CrimeStoppers tip led hem to Chand. ill fined for polluting MAPLE RIDGE - A Mission company operating a wood waste burner was sentenced to pay a fine of $6,000 for two offences under the Waste Management Act.

Forbes adds that the NEA "was transformed from a century-old 'tea and crumpets' professional . association into a brass-knuckled labor union." Why does that sound familiar ' to Canadians? Because a drop in scholarship of Canadian students matches U.S. figures ever since teachers unions adopted agendas more political than educational. When the American NEA spending of US $12-million to defeat California's Proposition 174 showed what happens when union members monopolize labor supply: they become a monopoly on top of a monopoly. The Republican sweep of the US House and Senate in 19944 was likely the result of millions of voters finally seeing the unfairness of a single legally-sanctioned interest group affecting the entire nation by giving almost $40-mil- lion to one party for election purposes. Items that have another Canadian angle have been cropping up. According to Forbes, union officials favor bilingual education. Why? It brings a salary increment of US $5,000 to each teacher. Forbes points out that in San Jose's Union School District, the proceeds from land sales were diverted to teacher salaries. Nearly US $40-million extra state aid for schools earmarked for equalization of Boston, Mass. schools was "effectively eaten by an $80-million teacher wage and benefit contract." A Virginia Beach union candidate raised US $75,000 to contest an opponent. After the election, which the union candidate won, it was discovered that his PhD was phony. He has been convicted by a jury of campaign violations. In Alabama, where 40 percent of the legislature were teachers, ex-teachers or teachers' spouses, according to Forbes, a new Republican governor won by capitalizing on educational difficulties. Increased spending in both the United States and Canada has lead, not to an improvement in standards, but to a chartable and obvious drop in measurable results. What has been for the past 40 years a government authorized cartel is now running into rough seas. The once supportive Parents Teachers Association (PTA) has seen membership drop from 12 million in 1966 to seven million today. Unionized teachers only allowed the "tame" to have their say. Their say was support the union or else. After all they rented office space from the NEA from before World War II and worked out of the NEA Washington headquarters until 1990. Back in "1968 teacher pressure forced the PTA to direct that its affiliates should be 'neutral' in teacher strikes'', according to Forces ;• Another reason for ,the drop in PTA membership. Japan spends less than half of what Canada spends on public education. And reaps twice the product. American figures do not show such a dramatic difference, but they are close. The NEA has been so powerful that teacher strikes continue in the 40 states where they are illegal. However, change is moving in. Michigan now deducts teacher pay for every day on strike. In Iowa anyone can now sue unions if they break a no-strike agreement. So far teachers haven't taken that risk. School watchers can expect new laws enforcing teacher anti- strike action and the non-eligibility of teachers, spouses and union officials to sit on school boards and vote on salary increases, thus squelching any conflict of interest Teachers unions do not have such an easy time in America's 21 right-to-work states. Watch for more states to adopt such laws. The biggest step: When the new Republican House and Senate vote to abolish the U.S. Department of Education. V4£RE G0IN&TO CLEAN UPOOR ACT!

Harcourt's arrogance takes your breath away Editor, The Star, Sir, B.C. voter Bob Foret began a constitutional challenge July 17 in the province's Supreme Court to have the NDP government's election gag law - passed only days earlier - struck down. The gag law threatens citizens with fines or jail if they spend more than .$5,000, individually or as a group, to support or oppose political parties or candidates during provincial elections. Similar restrictions apply to party leadership contests and initiative and recall votes. The arrogance of Premier Harcourt's govenunent is really quite breathtaking. B.C. voters entrusted him and his party with power. Harcourt and his ilk then used that power to threaten citizens with jail if they effectively exercised their freedom of speech during elections! %^'i Foret believes that this gag law violates the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of speech and association, and the right to an informed vote. So do we, and that's why we have opposed this law from the beginning and are paying Foret's court costs. It's not the first time we've fought to defend Canadians' fundamental freedoms. In 1984 we succeeded in having the courts strike down an election gag law passed by Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government and in 1993 did the same with a gag law passed by Brian Mulroney's Tories. Both Trudeau and Mulroney needed the courts to teach them about the importance of free speech. Thanks to Mr. Foret, we believe that Premier Harcourt and his government Will soon be given the same lesson. •^^V^^MERVILLE ;IP#ori^ Editor, The Star, Sir, We have lived in Langley and surrounding districts since 1953, and witnessed many changes in those 42 years. Since the days of the younger Langley Prairie, our community has grown into an even more gracious and beautiful city which offers many aspects of entertaining recreational facilities, sophisticated shopping malls and stores, beautiful churches to worship in, a top-notch hospital, quality educational opportunities for young and our elderly, including universities and colleges, and we can even boast of our very own airport, just to name a few of our gems which make Langley one of the nicest places to call our home. The facility lacking in our wonderful area is a community cultural centre. Many dedicated volunteers have faithfully helped in fund-raising endeavours for such a centre before 1953, and countless more volunteers have joined in the dream of "someday" we will realize the actual reality of having the opportunities at hand to enjoy. The Township of Langley has land allocated for the cultural centre, a competent Task Force has been selected to present a proper Feasibility study, and very dedicated volunteers are hoping that there will not be any more delays in the "labor pains" of this future culture vision. I strongly urge that the Councils of the Langleys not delay any longer and show their capable leadership to start (lie first phase of tlie Community Cultural Centre rolling. G.TUCKER Langley Expanding the cultural life Editor, The Star, Sir, There is a great need fore Cultural Centre in Langley. On behalf of the Kwantlen University College Music Department I strongly urge the implementation of. plans to build on the Murrayville Site. Although there is a Performance Hall on our Langley campus, it has only two hundred fifty seats. It is not suitable for many performance purposes as there are no curtains, no fly, no built-up stage, no shell, and no dressing rooms. The Langley Fine Arts School is building a performing theatre, but that will be a teaching space, also of limited capacity. Langley needs a Performance Centre as a venue for major cultural events such as ballet or symphony with an audience capacity that would make it economically feasible to mount larger productions. This would be available for local cultural organizations as well as for groups from outside of Langley. An active cultural centre would provide many opportunities for employment for people in the community, greater opportunities for entertainment in the Langley area and, in turn, would lead to economic spinoffs within the »;C{imjmunity. A-cultural! centre of this sort would be in keeping with the provincial mandate to expand the cultural life in smaller communities of the province. ANN STAFFORD Langley Ignore red herrings Editor, The Star, Sir, Approximately ten years ago, after a great deal of consultation, a site for a Theatre Arts Complex was established at Murrayville and agreed to by both the City of Langley and the Township with economic benefits to both. The Township Council on two separate occasions in the past two and one half years has passed a resolution to re-inforce the choice of this site. Isn't it time that we get on with it, stop all this petty squabbling and not yield to the red herrings that are being placed before the councils? Members of the Task Force are prepared to discuss and resolve the various concerns that have arisen and are united in the recognition of the need for such a complex. Let common sense prevail. ROSETTE MCDONAkD" Con artist would be impressed ByFILIPPALDA VANCOUVER - The French author Victor Hugo wrote that "behind every great fortune there is a crime." Had he been around today he might have said the same thing about provincial lotteries and casinos. These enterprises bring fortunes to government: thirty cents out of every dollar gambled in lot- teries goes into the treasury. Provinces guarantee themselves this amazing investment return by operating on principles that drug lords and racketeers might recognize. The trick is to forbid anyone but the province from getting into the business. With only one house open for bets, people have no choice but to accept low prizes for long odds. The measly payouts that players get reflect a tax hidden in the price of their lottery tickets. Why do we let government godfathers get away with such extortion? If a private company were to sell lottery tickets that paid back 80 cents of prize money for every dollar gambled, instead of the current 40 cents, the province would simply call on the police to shut the operator down. This is what happened in the U.S. A private company paid ouf prizes based on numbers drawn i . a state lottery. The prizes were o generous that the^ state had to track him down and charge him with a crime. Monopolies exist by force. Citizens have trouble fighting against state run monopolies because they lack information. We do not sense how deep the monopoly is gouging because we have no standard of comparison. There is no private lotto game or 1casjno that might pay out better odds. How do you complain if you do not know what you are missing? Our ignorance is the bliss of the government gambling establishment It acts as it wishes while we bow our heads in submission. The submissive attitude of Canadians who gamble may not last long. Researchers in the past few years have uncovered stinging facts about state gambling monopolies that could shake the public out of its torpor. It turns out that the poor gamble more than others. So they end up paying most of the tax that is hidden in the price of lottery tickets. The thumping burden on the poor might not be so bad if the money was earmarked for good causes. Annual statements from lottery corporations claim the money is sent to hospitals, the arts, education, and community projects. But U.S. studies on money earmarked for education find no evidence that lottery revenues have led to higher government spending on education. Instead, legislatures appear to reduce other sources of funding, as earmarked funds roll in. If these studies carry over to Canada, the lesson is that state gambling revenues may not lead to more social services. They may instead simply transfer the burden for existing government services to the poor.

Infrastructure Works Program is doing its part to clean up the Fraser River in the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley. Almost $240-million worth of improvements are being made to wastewater treatment plants and residential sewage and drainage systems. By far the largest undertaking is tlie $206-million upgrade of the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. This plant provides "primary" treatment for close to one-half of the wastewater and sewage coining from the Lower Mainland area and being discharged into the Fraser River. Most treatment plants in the Fraser Valley already provide more effective "secondary" treatment. The problem with the primary treatment system is that only about iwo-Uiirds of the suspended solids and less than half of the biochemical oxygen demand, or "BOD", are removed. BOD describes the amount of oxygen used up as organic matter decays. If the oxygen is used up in this way, plant and fish life will die. Secondary treatment .removes up to 90 per cent of both suspended solids'and BOD - a vast improvement "The upgraded equipment will provide secondary treatment to about one-third of the plant flow," said secondary treatment project manager Don Littleford. What happens to the rest of it? Infrastructure Works funding - along with an additional $53.2-million contributed by the province and tlie GVRD — covers the ficst phase of the planned Annacis upgrade. Zoo fades into extinction VANCOUVER - The money is there and the visitors are coming but the cages are empty and the animals are dead or gone. Welcome to Stanley Park Zoo, one of the oldest institutions in a young city - one that closed its gates in the face of tight budgets and urban concerns two years ago. Mike Mackintosh, a wildlife manager with Stanley Park's newly formed Ecological Society, has seen the zoo change over the last 20 years from an animal park that housed species from all over the world to a meagre menagerie of six monkeys, a few owls, some penguins and an old polar bear. "Most of the animals are gone now, either moved out or passed away," Mackintosh says. Now the 22-acre piece of prime real estate is a vacant stretch of asphalt, with pats that meander past empty paddocks and cages. But Mackintosh says the 86- year-old zoo didn't need to die out as a run-down menagerie in this growing city. In the late 1980s, the zoo was attracting one to two million visitors a year.

DOWNSTREAM Swimming for preservation VANCOUVER - An environmental philospher and fan of Terry Fox plans to swim the entire length of the Fraser River to raise funds for its preservation. Fin Donnelly, a former competitive swimmer, will swim the 1325 km length starting on Sept. 6. He plans to swim up to 12 hours daily, covering up to 100 km a day, starting from the foot of Mount Terry Fox in Goose Lake provincial park. Arrival at the river's mouth in Vancouver is hoped for Sept. 24, B.C. Rivers Day. Sponsors include the Fraser Basin Management Program and T. Suzuki Environmental Program, with,proceeds earmarked for environmental enhancement projects. Donnelly holds the record for swimming the Georgia Strait (eight hours, ten minutes) and swam the Juan de Fuca Strait in 10 hours, ten minutes. He's raised $21,000 for the Save the Georgia Strait Alliance in the past, and hopes to exceed that sum for the Fraser River.

There is still time for about a dozen youths to sign on for the atom (age 8-9), peewee (age 10- 11) and junior bantams (age 12- 13), said spokesman Ted Bleeker. . Each team now has about 25 play- ers ready, but each could use another five members for a full . complement. The Spartans have a phone number in the phone book now — 857-4963 - which tlie public can call or leave messages on. "It's only $130 each and that- includes exhibition and ten season games; we provide all gear and the new burgundy jerseys look really good," said Bleeker. 'The volunteers and sponsors have all been really good, and we want to acknowledge tlie sponsors with a ceremony at the openers." The schedule will be out in about two weeks, and registration for the players and cheerleaders continues until the end of September. There are 15 cheerleaders "but we could always use more, and we provide the. uniforms and pompoms for the $50 fee," said Bleeker. More than 75 showed up for the Spartans' mini camp, held.in May at ACSS. Bleeker coaches the peewees, Bob Rondeau coaches the junior bantams, and Jim Sutherland coaches the atoms. The first exhibition games are at CloVer Bowl, 168 Street at 64 Avenue, on Aug. 12-13. The atoms and peewees will play three mini-games each on the 12th, followed by the junior bantams on the 13th. "It will be a good chance to see how we stack up against the others," said Bleeker. That will be followed by the junior bantams in a Chilliwack exhibition on Aug. 18, and then the Surrey Bronze Boot on Aug. 26-27. "We're going to be feeding some good talent into the Aldergrove Secondary program in the coming years," said a proud Bleeker of the fledgling new teams and players. The Spartans are fully accredited with B.C. Football Association and the coaches have many years experience as well as professional ball experience. The program is up and running and full of enthusiasm.

Top teams will fight for first Western SURREY - For Mixed Orthodox Fastpitch, the 1995 Labour Day weekend represents the realization of a twenty year dream. Over the four days, from Friday to Monday, the fourteen best teams in the west will gather for the first ever Western Canadian Championships at Softball City. The winner and the participants will be a permanent part of the history of one of the fastest growing games in the country. From small and scattered beginnings in 1975, the game of Mixed Orthodox Fastpitch has enjoyed two decades of steady growth across Canada and the U.S. Most surprising is that the early years of expansion were accomplished in spite of die lack of official recognition or inclusion in Uie rule books. An offshoot of fastpitch, and a return to the days before windmill pitching, mixed orthodox grew out of a desire for a competitive, yet social, game involving both sexes. Players who had grown up playing minor softball needed an opportunity to use their acquired skills, but to do so* along with boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, and wives. Players came from all playing backgrounds and abilities and the great levelling factor was the restrictions placed on pitching. Eliminating both slingshot and windmill pitches made for more of a hitter's game with much more on-field action. Rapid growth of both teams ^aSid'leagues followed th/s estab- lishment of a landmark"invifation^- al tournament in 1979. The Cen taur's Summit introduced hundreds of teams and thousands of players to the orthodox game. Growing to a peak of 64 teams, the summit was the only large late-season test of the best teams until the creation of the first provincial championship in 1987. In the years since the start of the provincials, litis has become one of the best attended and consistently most competitive of the various championships sponsored by Softball, B.C. The host for the event is also an indication of how everything goes full circle. The Centaurs, led by team coach and manager, Ross Ruddick, were the successful bidders for the event and this adds to a hosting history of 17 Centaur's summits, nine International Special Olympics Tournaments, numerous other invitational events and the first Orthodox Provincial in 1987. 'The people who have played at the top level of this game have long held certain dreams", said Ruddick. 'The first was the creation of a Provincial and the second the introduction of a Western Canadian". He added "Now that we have achieved the first two, we will work even harder to take this game both national and international". Tlie dream comes alive at Softball City, in South Surrey, starting Friday, September 1 and continuing through Monday, September 4.

Greetings from Christehurch The Pee Wee "B" (earn from the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association is well into the Friendship Tournament in Christehurch. Three j»ames have been played so far out of a scheduled eight. The games have been vs. Tomokomae with the score 6-4 for Aldergrove, Canterbury with the score 18-1 for Aldergrove, and Auckland - score 3—2 for Aldergrove. Although these goals are impressive, the aim of the tournament is to achieve the least number of penalties of which, to date, Aldergrove has none. The team attended a "Langi" at a Maori "Marae" where they were officially welcomed by Maori warriors. The food of lamb, beef, pork, chicken, mutton and vegetables was cooked over hot rocks buried in (he ground. The men and women of the Maori tribe entertained us throughout the entire feast with their traditional native music and song.

ABBOTSFORD - Six years and five successful country albums later, George Fox is still climbing higher on the international charts. His latest, Time Of My Life continues the string of radio hits, which hell bring in full force to a free performance courtesy of the Western Canada Summer Games next week at Abbotsford City Hall Plaza (schedule of the four-night event includes Barney Bentall on Aug. 16, Ulrich Henderson and Forbes (UHF) on Aug. 17, George Fox on Aug. 18, Victoria Symphony Orchestra on Aug. 19). While Fox was brought up in the ranching country of the Alberta foothills, The Star caught up to. him last week at his new home- base of Ancaster, Ontario. "Into the hurlyburly of the business," said Fox. "It's near to Toronto, where my management and record label are based, and I can catch direct flights to Nashville... the hub of tlie universe is in close proximity." He admits he misses ranching, but as he's too busy with his music career and his parents are retired, he has to settle for a taste of it when he visits small towns: "I stayed in P.E.I, for four days, where they have some small 'ranches' and found myself pining for it. I've done it for 27 years. But I was back in Cochrane a week ago, when my hometown mayor had a ceremony and named a.street after me... George Fox Trail, quite a moment... aud it's not even a deadend street," he laughs. The album was produced by Bob Gaudio, who readers may recall was a member of the early- '60s hitmakcrs, the Four Seasons.. Gaudio also co-wrote many of Fox's new songs, in Nashville, where he's now based. "It gave me new ideas," said Fox. "He's a real genius, and he plays keyboards, which was different because I'd never written with keys before. He's worked with Sam Cooke, Chuck Berry, and I liked to listen to his stories, because I'm really enamoured of the American Graffiti thing, Ihe magic of the early '60s. We developed a sound of our own, learned from each other." Currently touring with a band called Coda The West, also based in Ontario, Fox has found a growing audience for his sound on the road, too. "It's amazing the way the summer festival circuit has gone. It used to be Big Valley stood alone, now others have taken a page from their book and so there's parents and kids at the same show. It's quite startling, we're catching the whole demographic. There's been a lot of big FOR SUMMER GAMES Athletes converging on Valley i ABBOTSFORD - The sixth Western Canada Summer Games, the first held in B.C., will bring 2,100 athletes from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, NWT and Yukon here to compete in 23 sports.

"I could write a book about what I don't know about tlie business, but it seems to me it's healthiest when it has to take chances, when the business isn't making money.

At this point it can be GQ with a cowboy hat, but when they're forced to take chances, that's when we get tHje best music."

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, AUGUST 9,1995 ASK i; ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I have a friend called Bee, who up with a 20-year-old boy. Bee and 1 went to school together so 1 know she is the same age as me and I am 39. Bee has never been married, but when my husband ancl 1 have them over for dinner they act like they are on their honeymoon. This guy knows absolutely nothing and when we tell them something we have read or seen on TV, this guy repeats it as if he had just thought about it himself. He has moved with Bee to a fancy-condo that she pays for. lie doesn't work much, and wc know she pays all (he bills. She always looks happy when they arc together and they are constantly going to dinner, movies and dances. Bee has told mc she loves him a lot and would be very unhappy if he moved out. I low can a 39-year-old woman be so stupid'? This guy is young enough to be her son. Is there anything I can say to her to let him go and get on with her life? Signed: Disgusted in Aldergrove. Dear Disgusted, From the sound of your letter you should have signed it "Jealous" instead of "Disgusted". What is wrong with a single woman, dating, and living with, a younger man? There are no hard and fast rules about such things nowadays. Butt out and leave Uiem to their happiness. If one or the other decides that it is over, it is their business, not yours. If you wish to remain friends with Bee, say nothing. Dear Annabelle, Several years ago my family ahd I moved to Scotland and I was delighted when my next door neighbour invited me over to have tea and "a wee blether" and meet the rest of the neighbours. We all had a good laugh later, when I told Uiem I thought "a wee blether" was a type of biscuit or cake. We are back not but I will always remember the good friends I made that day in Scotland. (For those, like me.) I'm glad to say vvc had a lot of blcUiers together in the few years we stayed Uiere.

Smoking- caused lung cancer is tlie biggest preventable killer in the western world, yet nothing slops these nicotine hitmen, corporate executives fully aware that their activities are part of an operation that snuffs out an estimated 5,000 Canadian lives each year. Some crazies try but fail to kill people by sending out crude bombs in the mail, and panic sweeps the nation. Big-time tobacco peddlers knock off 5,000 Canadians while conducting their annual business and we kiss up to them as sponsor-advertisers and good corporate citizens. Why doesn't government act to close these loopholes? Is a fireworks display or a golf match more important than human lives? How can we continue to grovel before these insidious bands of professional killers and cripplers, just for some entertainment? By associating themselves with sports fishing and professional sporting events, Uie tobacco maggots hope to get more and more people addicted to the foul stuff the corporations push. And if you don't think that kind of advertising works, ask yourself why the cancer-stick industry is so terribly anxious to spend millions of dollars to put it out there. Only a morally sick society supports an industry that promotes death and disease.

Tax bill has man fuming TRAIL - a Salmo man says provincial officials were "totally wrong" to find him guilty of evading taxes on cigarettes widiout providing any evidence or giving him the benefit of a trial. The province is demanding $22 on a package of Christmas gifts Paul Nicholson received last December from his sister, who runs a mailorder house in Toronto that sells cigarettes. 'This is wrong - it is totally wrong. I am not paying this. If I have to go to court, I will go to court," Nicholson said. He received a letter from the Ministry of Finance last month saying he owed tax on the package. The letter added that if he did not submit payment he would receive a notice of assessment, including interest and penalty. When Nicholson complained, he was told to provide proof he had not received cigarettes. 'The onus should be on them to prove that someone did something illegal, not the other way around,' said the 56-year-old. Nicholson is on a disability pension, so he hasn't even consulted a lawyer. But he is adamant that he won't pay. 'This is supposed to be a free country. This isn't China or Rus-' sia where you are guilty before you are proved guilty. Why should tax or customs officials be able to say we are guilty just because they think we are guilty? 'There can't be two sets of law in this country. You can't be innocent until proven guilty of murder, but guilty until proven innocent of buying cigarettes. No government agent should have that power." Nicholson, who is a smoker, says he buys tobacco in the U.S. and brings it back duty-free after a 48-hour stay. "I can't afford to buy it in Canada."

VANCOUVER - As British Columbia heads into peak vacation time, the Red Cross would like to hammer home a message many people already know, but chose to ignore: Drinking alcohol while boating is not only dangerous, it is also illegal. "Studies have shown one in two boaters in British Columbia still mix alcohol and boating, despite repeated warnings about safety," said Jan Engcmocn, commissioner of tlie B.C./Yukon division of the Red Cross. "Many people still equate recreational time on their boat wilh consuming alcohol. It really is very simple - boating and drinking is like drinking and driving: the two don't mix. Save the booze until you get back home." " Alcohol is a significant factor in drownings: a blood alcohol level above the legal limit was present in one-third of drowning fatalities in B.C.

All kinds of cars, from antiques, street rods, custom cars etc., are to be seen at Parkside Park, 272 Street and 32 Avenue, in Aldergrove this Sunday, August 13 from 10 am to 3 pm. Live 50-60 Country Band, Lions refreshment stand, children's swimming pool, secured grass parking, it's all available for an admission fee of $2.50. Across the Fraser River is the town of Mission, just a pleasant drive through the valley and across the bridge, and at the point where the tide from the ocean meets the fresh water of the river. In 1861, Father Fouquet, a young Oblate priest, chose a site just east of the present downtown area as the location for the St. Mary's Indian Residential School. This early beginning of a 'mission' school generated the community's name and marked the commencement of a deep sense of history in the area. Today Mission has a residential population of almost 30,000 and still growing at an Nature break for adults and kids ALDERGROVE - Parents looking for a break while their children participate in programs at Aldergrove Lake Regional Park August 16 are in for their own adventure. The Greater Vancouver Regional District will offer a special adults-only program, Volcanoes and Glaciers, to run concurrently with children's programs from 9:30 am to noon on August 16 only. Parents can stretch their legs on a guided walk to discover a house-size'd boulder dropped by ice, and walk over glacial gravel ridges for a panoramic view of Mt. Baker. The fee is $5.50 per person. The children's programs arc Tree Frogs (for four ahd five year- olds) and Pepin Peekers (for six and seven year-olds). They run for three consecutive mornings, August 16 to 18, from 9:30 am to 1100m The fee is $21 per child. Advance registration is required.

Insufficient regj&tration three days in advance will result:in^program- cancellation.' \ average rate of 4.5 per cent per year, making it the fastest growing community in the Fraser Valley. There are quite a number of interesting and historical buildings dating back to tlie turn of the century, including the former CPR station, 1910, now a tourism InfoCentre, and Mission can boast of having the first train robbery in Canada in 1904. High above the town presides the beautiful Westminster Abbey. Built in 1953, it traces its name from the time of the first Benedictine monestary at Burnaby Lake. Thousands of visitors are attracted to its serene perch high above the Fraser Valley, where monks have carved out an almost self-sufficient lifestyle, raising cows, chickens and pigs as well as tending crops. From the distinctive bell tower, musical ringing can be heard daily, and mass is sung at 10 am on Sunday and 6:30 am on weekdays in the huge, modernistic church, measuring 162 feet long by 110 feet wide and containing 64 stained-glass windows, made of 1.5 inch-thick pieces of glass and standing 22 feet high. The view from the tower and. from the edge of Uie grounds overlooking the Fraser River is breathtaking. In addition to tlie Abbey, The Seminary of Christ the King accommodates students who study at the seminary for up to six years, or as long as 13 years if they enter at high:schooI level. The monastery welcomes visitors Sundays from 2 to 4:30 pm and weekdays from 1:30 to 4:30 pm. White Rock In another direction from Aldergrove is White Rock, a scenic seaside town on the Semiahmoo Peninsula in South Surrey. The White Rock pier was built in 1914, when the town had a population of 300, a sawmill cutting about 100,000 feet of lumber a day, a shingle mill, two general stores, two hotels, one meat market, several small fruit stands and the railroad. Today you will find a bustling city uptown, with shopping malls, a cozy town centre, and the well known Whale wall by muralist Wyland, on Russell Avenue. Down by the water the pace is slower, and a stroll along the red brick promenade lining five miles of waterfront, on the famous 479 m(1500 ft) long pier, or on the sandy beaches are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike year-round; outdoor restaurants, art galleries and boutiques, the museum at the old train station, all are part of the scenery. The surrounding area is hbme to many sporting locales, such as Softball City and a number of the country's top golf courses. Crescent Beach is on the west side of the peninsula, a cozy little village with its own beautiful beach-front and peaceful sunsets.

Strategies okayed by Abby 0le'car hoedown By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - The draft of the city's Corporate Strategic Plan was approved in principle by council at the executive committee meeting on Monday, July 31. The plan represents cumulative input from council, directors, interested citizens and the city's consultant over the last four months. Now that the plan has received approval in principle copies will be distributed to citizens who attended previous forums so they can remain informed. Also the directors will be guided by this material as they prepare the preliminary 1996 budget proposals for council approval over the next few months. They will also develop specific action plan proposals in conjunction with their staff for consideration by council in late September or early October. The entire Corporate Strategic Plan package will be subject to final approval by council later this fall. The draft covers such issues as the economy, the city's finances, land use, the environment, infra- \ structure, and society, each with Jan objective and several strategies on how to reach that objective. For*tlie economy, the objective • is to increase employment opportunities and achieve a better balance in the city's assessment base. Strategies include: promoting light industry; attracting a major enterprise to the Abbotsford Airport; promoting the growth of public and private sector industries; and developing economic entrepreneurs hip in the agricultural sector. The objective for the city's finances is to develop a long term financial management plan to fund city services and related infrastructure, while keeping the level of taxation increases at or below tlie rate of inflation. To do this the strategies include: planning for the city's fiscal requirements; identifying those activities and community services that should be provided and/or supported by the city, thus making optimal use of the city's assets; developing a long term municipal debt management policy; and incorporating citizen input in the corporate budget process. For land use the objective is to manage the development of lands in the city to ensure a sustainable community in the long term. Strategies include: encouraging redevelopment of underutilized properties in the city centre, with an emphasis on commercial and high density residential uses; developing and preserving distinct urban neighbourhoods and rural communities; promoting land efficient development of commercial, residential and industrial areas; increasing the amount of active and passive recreation areas; and preserving and promoting the community's historical heritage. For the environment the objective is to promote the retention and enhancement of the physical environment. Strategies include: improving the air quality; reducing the waste stream; requiring environmentally sensitive development standards; protecting water resources for human consumption; and protecting water resources for fish habitat. The objective for infrastructure for the city is to ensure adequate and affordable infrastructure for an expanding community. Strategies include: determining and coordinating the provision of long term capital infrastructure requirements; improving the external transportation network; improving east-west traffic routes within the city; and providing improved transit services. Societal issues require the most strategies to ensure that the social needs of the community are addressed in a balanced, affordable and caring way. Strategies for this plan include: developing excellence in health care; providing opportunities for meaningful volunteer service to the community; fostering improved educational opportunities; improving communication with, and understanding of, Abbotsford's youth; fostering the development of the arts in the community; encouraging understanding and harmony amongst the community's diverse cultural groups; increasing partnerships between the police and public; and providing for a variety of housing types at different levels of affordability. Togedier, all of this is expected to become part of the Corporate Strategic Plan for a city, looking to the future. LANGLEhf - Country music fans can listen to local recording stars while their cars are washed in the B.C. Country Music Association's fundraiser this Saturday afternoon.

Weird museum just too weird for city officials HOLLYWOOD - Even here in Hollywood, the Weird Museum may be a little too weird. The voodoo masks are okay. So is the electronic gizmo with all the little knobs that Donald R. Blyth employed to measure the "psychic emanations" from his clients. But the mummified corpses, the "23-pound tumor," the formed fetuses in dirty glass jars - those are a bit much, the Los Angeles County coroner's office says. Prepared to act under several provisions of the state Health and Safety Code, coroner's deputies plan to descend on the grisly little museum and cart off all the' "apparently human remains" found there. Those include a desiccated corpse, topped by a greasy turban and propped vertically in a glass case, that the museum bills as the body of the bestial 15th century Transsylvanian tyrant, Vlad the Impaler, also known as Dracula. They also include another dried body - this one displayed horizontally in a plywood sarcophagus - that is said to be all that's left of a 3,600-year-old Egyptian who had been buried alive. Not to mention three severed heads - all in poor repair - purportedly salvaged from the corpses of Hermander, a 17th century warlock burned at the stake in Salem, Massachusetts; Henri Landru, a mass murderer guillotined in Paris in 1922, and an unnamed victim of-the "Mad Butcher of Kingsbury". the Fabulous Forties. The Black Watch has distinguished itself as one of history's most respected military regiments. They are equally famous displaying the music and ceremony that has inspired an empire. Like superstar entertainers, the Black Watch have filled arenas across the USA with standing ovations and tlie kind of screaming and yelling usually reserved for football and tennis matches. Tlie crowds have shown their loyalty by coming back time and again to thrill to this special cbtcr- tainmdnt. The moment the house lights dim, a buzz grips the auditorium. In the hazy theatrical darkness comes the strange, but awesome, distant sound of the bagpipes. The music begins to swell and the drum beat grows louder.. With a great hoot and holler, suddenly men are marching strong and steady - their kilts flying - brass now blaring as Scotland the Brave and other familiar tunes wash over tlie audience. It is indeed toe- tapping, heart-thumping goose- bump time, and North American audiences are among the world's most responsive. The entire show is an exciting display of theatre and history. The nimble dancers perform the Highland Ring and tlie Jacobite sword dance. The Massed Bands, in their spectacular uniforms, display precision marching, and the great tradition of military band music, the sensational Pipe and Drums, will instantly transport you lo the hills of Scotland and the romance*of the Highlands. The huge success of these shows over the years can be attributed to the wonderful mix of musical selections. The weave of traditional British and Scottish favourites with familiar pop, movie and Broadway tunes has proved irresistible. From the familiar Colonel Bogey march to the ever popular Glen Miller In The Mood, the show never ceases to please today's audiences. Billed as a "hands across the sea" tribute to the allies and the 50th Anniversary of the end of World War II, a special program feature on this tour will be a salute to the Fabulous Forties. The rousing finale will feature the full Massed Bands, Pipes, Drums and Highland Dancers in a blood-boiling arrangement of Scottish favourites The Black Bear and Highland Laddie. All the pomp and pageantry: that is the Mother country is rolled into this thrilling event. This year's tour will also honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother who has been Uie Colonel-in-Chief of the Black Watch for over 50 years, the longest such tenure since Queen Victoria. Tickets are on sale at all Ticketmaster Outlets or charge by phone, 280-4444. For choice seating, American Express* cardholders call tlie Front of the Line Hotline at 280-2639.

"I'll miss my fellow workers, friends and the many customers I have come to know," said Farmer. When he started work here in October 1949, it was known as the Otter District Farmers' Institute. His first jobs included helping on feed trucks with deliveries, unloading and bagging rail cars of coal (a terrible job), unloading box cars of grain, unloading 100 pound bags of ingredients ahd unloading car loads of stumping powder. Later he worked fulltime in the mill, running the grinder and mixing feed. In the early '70s, after the first pellet mill was installed, he operated this equipment. Over the years he was promoted to mill (working) foreman, and began to make sales calls. Farmer was promoted to feed department manager, shortly after Fred Greer's retirement in the late '70s. By the mid-'80s the feed department had added a nutritionist/sales manager, and the current holder of that position, Jake Davidson, will become feed manager after Farmer's retirement. Jack and Ellen Farmer are looking forward to many good years of retirement. Langley Hospice Society volunteer Merlyn Davidson shows what used to be her garage. Currently it's the holding site for the donated goods to be sold at the Society's huge garage sale being held Saturday, August 13, at 22259 - 48 Avenue, beginning at 8 a.m. Come early for the best selection and bargains. -Monique Gaiazka photo Con artists target seniors WASHINGTON - What would you call someone who is friendly, trusting, over 65 and perhaps a little bit lonely? Most people would call such a person a senior citizen, but a thriving segment of the nation's underworld would use a different word: target. For con artists of all stripes, older people are the victims of choice. Approachable, likely to be living alone and often with a nest egg of cash, people over 65 are disproportionately targets of unscrupulous telemarketers, high-pressure salespeople and outright swindlers. "Con artists have said, 'They are the ones we go after'," says Lee Norrgard, an investigative analyst with the American Association of Retired Persons. "Once you find a mooch (likely sucker), that list is traded amongst almost everybody. Everybody tries to get in on the carv- ings." Even those who don't bite are under constant pressure, no matter how well-connected they might be. Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., remarked recendy that his 85-year-old mother living in • Missouri "gets telephone calls every night" from scam artists.

Member - Canadian Investor Protection Fund. W^ EAITTH By JULIE EDWARDS, Are you frustrated by all the apparent barriers to mutual funds? Do you find the front-end charges, and deferred charges burdensome and unnecessary? And, are you concerned about the poor returns of some mutual funds in the part year? Well, there are products which help you avoid these concerns and potentially get a superior return on your investments. While I have always believed that it matters little about the "loads" that are incurred when investing in mutual funds, and that management quality and rate of return are most important, it is still nice to offer my clients top quality funds that require no load at all. This is especially welcoming now that the best mutual funds are suddenly doing an "about face" and proving people with excellent returns. Two examples of this are the Hercules Groups of Funds, and the Atlas Canadian Group of Funds. The Hercules Group of Funds Kids keep at the books ABBOTSFORD - Attention all children! The 1995 Rights of Fantasy Summer Reading Club is growing in number at all branches of the Fraser Valley Regional Library. Over 8,000 school aged children already have joined the summer .reading club since school ended in June. These children have read some fantastic books and enjoyed exciting programs including magic shows with Mark Steele, puppet shows, book swaps, science magic with Captain Catalyst, scavenger hunts, a look at unusual animals with Cinemazoo Animal Agency, writing activities, and special medieval storytimes. Now that summer is half over, it is time to visit the library and stock up on books for August. If you haven't joined the Flights of Fantasy reading club, why not drop by your local branch of the FVRL to register. You will receive a free dragon reading record and a bookmark. There are also a number of fun summer reading club programs yet to be offered. There is no cost to join. Drop by or phone your local library for more infomiation about this reading club and its programs. Immaiivel Lutheran Church 3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove 856-4710 . ** Rev. Paul Phillips Weekday School Thurs., 7 pm Worship Service Sun., 10:30 am offers nearly evcrylliin« a mutual fund investor could ask for. It is a group of six separate funds, each with its own particular "lobal geographic area, own management strategy and unique offerings to investors. People can easily switch funds within the group (without any charges!) to take advantage of changing needs or interests. As an example, someone might have chosen in March to switch from the I Ierculcs European Fund to the Hercules Latin American Fund to take advantage ol political or economic changes. That would have been a great decision because this particular fund was one of the top performers of any fund, returning 10.9% in April alone, and still performing strong! Fast and easy switching made this possible. Another similar group is the Atlas Canadian Group of Funds. This group has 10 separate funds, each with different asset managers, and each attractive lo a different set of investment needs and interests. For instance, the Atlas Canadian Balance Fund provides people with holdings in slocks and bonds, resulting in long-term growth and moderate risk. In contrast, the Atlas Canadian Growtii Fund offers people greater capital appreciation through stocks alone. Both funds are managed by a different group. You can switch funds easily within the group (again no charges!), to take advantage of changing economic times. These two examples are perhaps the best of a new breed of truly "user-friendly" mutual Funds. The quality of both is very high, and they offer tlie potential for excellent returns as the rebound of quality funds continues. Both require low initial investments, easy convertibility and are of course, eligible in your RRSP account. So if you are tired of the loads required to switch from other poorly performing mutual funds, or want to convert other investments into high quality mutual funds, look for the funds that offer you the performance, flexibility, and quality mentioned above.

"Ask to see a direct sellers' license when repair people come to your door," advises Better Business Bureau genera] manager, Valerie MacLean. "B.C. requires direct sellers to be licensed. Ask for references and call them before you make a purchase. And ask for a physical address of the business." Elderly people arc the frequent . targets of con artists who push fraudulent home-repair services. "Older folks, who live alone far from other relatives, are especially vulnerable to slick-talking peddlers," said MacLean. VI f vendors have no license, cannot furnish references and have no physical address, don't do business with them." A provincial law allowing a seven-clay 'cooling-off period' also allows consumers of door-to- door sales over $50 lo reliim purchases for their money back, MacLean said. "Don't be pressured into buying a produci or service that you don't want. Don't believe outrageous promises and guarantees." People should also not fall for tricks of tlie home-repair business. Fraudulent contractors may offer unbelievably low prices for repair jpbs because the company claims it has 'leftover' materials from another job. "Legitimate contractors rarely order so much, that they have enough materials to do a complete second job," MacLean warned. "Sometimes, if the worker is successful in conning the homeowner into hiring him to do lhe job and collects the money, he makes a great display of beginning work, theirasks for more money to buy more materials. lie then fails to return to finish the job, leaving the homeowner with a lorn-up house and empty pockets." "Why doesn't this new phone work?" It doesn't work because it is a fax machine which is one of many items donated to the office by the Aldergrove Kinsmen. The machine is not hooked up yet but will be some time soon. Other items donated include a computer and a printer. -Monique Gaiazka photo Poll shows growing opposition to bill in western Canada YORKTON, Ont. - On August 3, MP Garry Breitkreuz. released results of a national poll on gun control conducted by the Environics Research Group Limited, which shows support for the Liberal's gun control conducted by the Environics Research Group Limited, which shows support for the Liberal's gun control bill has dropped to a new all-time low of 60 percent nationally, with opposition increasing in the west and Atlantic Canada. Quebec and Ontario are the only provinces where support for Bill C-68 exceeds 50 percent, mainly because of the strong support in the large urban centres. "If people in Toronto and Montreal want more gun control they should try it there first and not force it on law-abiding citizens in the rest of the country," suggested Breitkreuz. Environics Research asked tlie following question as a part of their Focus Canada Survey (No. 1995-2) - "As you may be aware, the federal government has proposed new gun control legislation'. Based on what you have heard, seen or read about this, do you support or oppose the proposed new federal legislation?" Environics conducted personal interviews wilh 2,037 resixindents between June 13 and July 9 ancl the national results are considered accurate to plus or minus 2.2 percentage points, 19 limes out of 20. Here are some of lhe results: •Only 44% of respondents in Atlantic Canada support Bill C- •Support for the bill has dropped lo 42% in Westeni Canada and 33% in the Prairie provinces; •Support in Saskatchewan is the lowest of any province in Canada at 28%; •If Quebec is excluded, support for Bill C-68 chops lo just 54% in the rest of Canada; •In communities wilh less than 5,000 residents onlv 46% support Bill C-68 •Only 67% of Liberals support Rock's bill while 65% of Reformers oppose it; For those concerned about the validity of the regional results because of the sample size, Angus Reid conducted a more extensive survey for CBC Saskatchewan in May asking exactly the same question and found 73% of the respondents opposed to Bill C-68 (56% were strongly opposed). "These poll results show that public support for Bill C-68 is dropping fast as people find out more about the bill's many flaws," said Breitkreuz. "The Senate bearings are crucial to this public education process. Once Canadians are knowledgeable about the effects this costiy, intrusive and ineffective piece of legislation will have on their lives, they will know that every MP and Senator who voted for Bill C-68 did so for partisan political reasons rather than represent their constituents' wishes." Law will cost many millions VANCOUVER - The gun control bill the Liberal government is cur - rently rushing through the House of Commons will be an abuse of •due process and a waste of taxpayers' money, firearms advocates say. Simon Fraser University professor Gary Mauser say the legislation threatens Canadians' civil liberties. "It's a massive increase in police power. Anybody's house can be searched without a warrant, and the police will not have to answer for their actions in a court of law," Mauser says. Bill C-68 violates the concept of due process by allowing the police to confiscate property or destroy goods without being held accountable, he says. Mauser predicts die gun control' bill will cost Canadian taxpayers, and not just gun owners, roughly $500-million to $l-billion. **%m&^M*"*&SMmI*K^ WITH ANY OLD CAR WORTH 2000 YOU CAN BUY j.. •M TOPAZ 4 dr., blue, loaded i $5,995 '» C0UQAR VS.

Under command of Colonel Richard Moody, the Sappers effectively laid the foundation for road transportation in the Fraser Valley. When the detachment was disbanded in 1863, many of the Sappers chose to remain in British Columbia rather than return to England. Those that chose to remain received a land grant of one hundred and fifty acres. Two of the discharged Royal Engineers, who chose to homestead in the area covered by this book, and whose stories appear in die family history section, are Albin Hawkins and Philip Jackman.

But the last instalment is not payable until after the survey. The Crown grant excludes gold and silver ore, and reserves to the Crown a royalty of five cents per ton of merchantable coal raised or gotten from the land, not including dross or fine slack. No person shall be entided to record or pre-empt any land included in any timber lease, if the land which it is proposed to record has on each eighty acres thereof milling timber to the extent of ten thousand feet per acre. A Crown grant can be issued to an alien who may have recorded or pre-empted by virtue of his declaring his intention to become a British subject, unless he has become naturalized. The heirs or devisees of the homestead setder are, if resident in the Province, entitled to the Crown grant, on his decease. If they are absent from the Province at the time of his death, the Chief Commissioner may dispose of the pre-emption, and make such provision for the person entitled thereto, as he may deem just.

He wears thick-framed bifocals, pausing occasionally to adjust them. Sometimes, they likely sit in the brown leather eyeglass case clipped to the inside of his denim shirt pocket, sharing the space with several pens. I lis silver hair is cropped short. He's clean shaven. He's every bit the model citizen. The mild-mannered Dawson Creek dentist chooses his words carefully. He speaks slowly, making sure he explains himself clearly. Rarely does he raise his voice. But Ebert says die Liberal government's recently passed gun control bill has pushed him over the edge. He says it's just one indicator that Canada is no longer a democracy. "I'm not a radical. I'm not a part of some radical group," Ebert says. However, he adds, gun control bill C-68 signals an erosion of Canadian civil liberties and that it's time to fight. "I have sat back and watched the federal government slowly destroy our Canadian ideals," Ebert says. "And now they want to harass lawful Canadians with this gun control bureaucracy. "A lot of us are so busy working that we don't have time to get involved in politics, but now it's starting to get critical for Canada." Ebert says, for the good 6f the country he cannot support any bad law. "I will not register my gun. I will not obey this law. If I don't, I'll become a criminal in my own land," Ebert says. "Well, I'm not about to sit here and become a criminal, so I'll have to fight this. "Our federal politicians have gone too far. Enough is enough." He says increasingly strict gun legislation, coupled with restrictions on freedom of mobility, have eroded the Canadian ability to live on the land. 'They're making it more difficult for us to get out on the land," the dentist says. 'That's something we had to fight when I was a youngster back in 1950, when access to Crown lands was cut off to the general public. I see that happening again now. You have to go out to an office and get a permit if you want to get out into the bush." Local businessman Don Richmond also takes a hard line on gun control. "As far as diey're concerned, I've only got one gun," Richmond says. 'The rest of them, they're ,- going to have to find. 'Til register one, so I can pack it in my truck. It's time we stood up and got counted." Ebert and Richmond both say they will engage in civil disobedience. They will even go to jail for their right to bear amis. However, Ebert is thinking of ways to avoid incarceration. He envisions a community support network. When a police officer comes to the door with a warrant to search the house for weapons, the gun- owning occupant would try to contact a neighbor, who would assemble friends to gather around the house and force die officer to leave. Asked what they would do if the government came back with tanks, Ebert says, "I guess we'd have a civil war on our hands." But he says he'll do whatever he can to prevent the situation from going that far. He says that a constitutional shakeup is necessary to save Canada. Ebert says the regional differences in Canada were emphasized during the gun control debate. The solution to keep him from becoming a criminal is to start provincial constitutions, where policies on issues including gun control are determined by referendum. "Each item would be voted on. If 50 percent of the people say they want something, it becomes part of the constitution," Ebert says. 'The provincial constitution would be created by the people. It would take the politicians out of it," he says. "I don't feel we're getting good government from our representatives and we're being governed by lobby groups." Ebert says he thinks there might not be enough support for the new gun control restrictions in the four western provinces, and they could opt out. Ebert has sent his ideas to provincial and federal elected officials, and he believes he'll get a response. 'There's an election coming up. We're going to get people to listen in B.C. ... quick," Richmond agreed. "I have no faith in the politicians who think they know what's best for us," Ebert says. 'They've been doing it, and look where our country is today. "The country my dad handed over to me. waS a good country, but the country I'm handing over to my children is not as good a country." Ebert adds, "We have to do something to put our country back on track. If we don't, in thirty years, it will disintegrate." Wedded bliss Adam and Eve had an ideal marriage.
