DIDN'T SEE SECOND TRAIN COM IN^j Crash kills couple MATSQUI - A couple from Port Moody died when their camper van was struck by a train near the Fraser River, Saturday. Oernulf Karl Theobalt, 38, and Loretta Williamson, 50, were killed instantly in the collision. Police said the couple had stopped at the level crossing near LeFeuvre and River Roads, while a west-bound train rolled past. The coupie's van then drove onto the crossing and was hit by an east-bound train on the second set of tracks. Police said the west-bound train had hidden the coming east- bound train from the couple's view, and that the couple rushed too quickly into the junction after the west-bound train had passed.

Swaranjit Kaur Thandi, 25, suffered gross indignities and violence, according to testimony from her father and from a woman who became the second wife of Jagtar Paul Singh Dhillion. Thandi's naked, beaten and strangled body was found in a Merritt ditch in February of 1991, after she had disappeared from her Aldergrove home the previous November. No one had •reported her missing and she appeared to have been dead for some time. However, those who questioned Thandi's whereabouts were told varying stories by the family. No charges have ever been laid in her death. However, coroner Larry Campbell has issued an arrest warrant for Gurcharangit Singh Dhillion, who had earlier accepted a summons on behalf of the extended family at the house to appear as witnesses at the coroner's court. None of the family showed up last week for the court, and court was forced to adjourn until March 17. This arrest warrant was cancelled this week by the coroner, after a lawyer representing the Please see page 2... 18 months, probation LANGLEY - Provincial court has sentenced a former businessman who preyed on children to eighteen months in jail. Warren Stanley Day, 39, had •pleaded guilty on Jan. 19 to eleven counts w- molesting young girls in his pet shop in Aldergrove and the court's sentencing came down last week. The charges included eight counts of touching for a sexual purpose and three of common assault, committed against eleven ' different girls. Day, of Mission, will also serve two years of probation on his release from prison, and was ordered not to own a pet store or be in the company of girls under 16 years during his probation. Day's business had already floundered and closed, leaving behind a string of debts, when police first laid charges. However, Day had previous record of similar offences in other Fraser \alley communities. In 1988, in Chilliwack, Day received a 30 day sentence for sexual assault and in 1990, in Matsqui, Day received a four month sentence for sexual interference and indecent exposure. An Aldergrove mother of one of Day's victims, who was one of the first to bring complaints against Day to the attention of police, told The Star that she was only able to accept what she felt was a minimal sentencing because of a number of stringent probation restrictions in which she was allowed to have input. However, she questioned how Day was able to own and operate a store that attracted children after he was charged with the previous offences. , MAYOR REFLECTS ON THE PAST ... And then, the people came MURRAYVILLE -Way back in '45, Langley was "one of the most beautiful places you'd ever seen," reminisces local mayor, John Beales. "But it has sure changed." It's the cost of progress, reflects Coun. Trudi Campen. Beales, who has lived in Langley for most of his life, reflected Monday night on how things used to be. In 1945, when the war had just ended, there were only 4,500 people living in the city and municipality which were then, one unit.,And it was great, he said. Beales has a vision of a future Langley: a "well-rounded community" that will become highly urbanized in spots and remain agricultural for the remainder. He is highly critical of urban sprawl as it has taken place in neighboring Surrey, and hopes that his own and subsequent councils will be able to keep this from happening in Langley. Paraphrasing the late mayor Bill Blair, Beales says, "Langley was a beautiful place ... until the .people came." Police on the hunt J| for new murder clues MATSQUI - Police are turning up the heat in the case of a Bradner area murder of a Fort Langley man. Brian Kelly Molloy's bullet- riddled body was found on the Pemberton Hill area of Bradner Road leading to Glen Valley, at 7 a.m. on Nov. 27, 1991- Police said that Molloy had met a friend about 10:30 p.m., the night before, to borrow some money, and it is believed that Molloy was lured into driving his pickup truck to Bradner where he was shot to death and the money was taken. Police did not say how much money was involved, but none of it has been recovered.

He added that Langley, and in particular Aldergrove, was being "discriminated against" by the Transit Authority. All Langley residents could do, Ferguson said, was to pay heavily for a service that is very minimal. He said he would like some hard answers from the transit people on what they intend to do for Aldergrove. "We should ask two or three of the people to come out here and explain that to us," he said. "And they should be told to take the bus out here and back (to Vancouver)." Other council members agreed. "Aldergrove is always on the tail end," commented Coun. Trudi Campen. She is a resident of Aldergrove herself. Councilors will be sending a letter to the Vancouver Transit Commission expressing their extreme displeasure with announced cutbacks to the route 507 and 511 bus connections that service mainly the eastern portion of the municipality. PREVIEW! From front... family said all five family members were prepared to attend the inquest's resumption on Wednesday. Thandi was brought from the Punjab area of India as a bride in an arranged marriage with Dhillion in 1985- Her father came here twice to take her away after he heard of the abuse she suffered, but she refused to leave because she was afraid of threats made against her family in India should she leave her "hell" here in ' Canada. She stayed with her husband's family at the 2928 - 264A Street home after she was divorced and was treated as a "slave" according to Dhillion's second wife. Inderjit Kaur Toor, 23, was also a bride in an arranged marriage with Dhillion and her treatment was not much better than Thandi's, Toor told the court. Toor fled the home in May 1990, about a year after her marriage to Dhillion, and divorced him. She said she has heard that Dhillion has since brought over a third wife, in what she described as a "business for them". Swaranjit Kaur Thandi Toor said that the wives not only brought dowries (in Toor's case, $15,000 in gold and gifts), but were expected to work long hours every day of the week and never allowed to keep any of the money that they were paid by employers. With the help of an interpreter, Toor s^aid, "They married Swaranjit and they got a lot of things for her, then they divorced her and they married me and got a lot of things for me, and now they've married another l^ie and got lots of things for her." Toor said that they both were terrified by Dhillion's family and were often threatened with death. "Swaranjit used to cry and say, 'Which hell am I stuck in"" Toor said Thandi was kept on the edge of starvation despite being worked up to 20 hours a day. Her only clothes were castoffs, she had no proper bed or bedding, and wasn't allowed to bathe until "the stink was so bad they couldn't stand it." Thandi was also beaten so often that it was almost routine, and was continually threatened with death or dismemberment should she tell anyone about her treatment. Dhillion also continued to have sex with Thandi after Toor's arrival. Thandi was taken to the U.S. twice for abortions and was threatened with death should she become pregnant again. Toor said she and Thandi had to awaken at 3 a.m. to make lunches for the family, were taken to work at a mushroom farm at 5:30 a.m., and then taken to another farm at 10 a.m. where they sometimes had to work in the fields until 8 p.m. After that, one or the other would be taken to a pizza parlor to work until midnight or 1 a.m. Toor said Thandi was often ordered to start fights with Toor with the family's aim of getting rid of both of them by having one of the women killed and the other charged with murder. Thandi became so desperate once when she was denied lunch that she slashed Toor with a knife while they worked in the fields. She also laid in front of a . car at the mushroom farm where she worked, to draw attention to her plight, but her sister-in-law forced her to walk home as she drove behind her. "When she got home she was beaten further," said Toor. The coroner's court continues on March 17 and this time they expect to see Dhillion, his two brothers and two sisters in attendance. Coroner Larry Campbell also praised Toor for coming forward: "I think you are very brave," he told her after she finished testifying.

An increase of 50,000 to the welfare rolls last year brought the total to 300,000, and a similar increase is expected this year. Smallwood says the ministry will go $70-million over budget this year. Spending increased by 21.7 percent in the first nine months of this year over last year. This compares to increases of 8.7 percent in health and 7.8 percent in education during the same period. Smallwood blames it on "growing unemployment" despite the fact that other government, figures show the province led the nation in new job creation over the same period. Employment grew by 33,000 in 1992, and the unemployment rate dropped from June 1992's high of 11.2 percent to January 1993's 9.8 percent. The largest growth in welfare rolls has, surprisingly, been among single men without dependents. There have 26,000 single men added since September 1990 for a total of 73,000, while single-parent household numbers increased by 10,400 to a total of 46,000. Smallwood said that changes to social services policy were not responsible for the welfare growth, but she warned that, "There is a danger of a permanent underclass being established." A local single mother, who is between jobs and who asked not to be identified, told The Star that she disagreed with Smallwood's approach. "It used to be that I got a little note with my cheque every month asking if I'd looked for work the previous month. Now I get a note telling me I don't have to look for work. That's a waste of paper, and I find it extremely demeaning and insulting to be told, in so many words, not to look for a better life for me and my kids." Politics doesn't have to be a hard-nosed affair, as the municipal mayor, John Beales demonstrates ajong with Hospice Society volunteer, Jean Farina, Tuesday morning. Farina is selling the clown noses for $1.50 to raise fun and funds for the society, and the ever- accommodating mayor lent his protrascis to the cause. While the society is serious about its commitment to help the terminally ill and bereaved families, including..support of Langley Memorial Hospital's first palliative care room, Farina said they had to find a unique promotion to reach out to the community. Wh'IfB asked why she chose, the Bozo noses over Groucho masks, she laughed and said, "Because we got a deal on the noses, but I thought Of Groucho first." -Kurt Langmann photo Albion ferry gets passing grade FORT LANGLEY - The ferries on the Albion run have been given a passing grade after a number of problems cited in a government report were rectified. A report last year by Admiral Robert Yanow had severely criticized the safety procedures and general staff morale of the twin ferries, M.V. Klatawa and M.V. Kulleet. The service between Fort Langley and Maple Ridge is the busiest inland ferry service operated by the government. Captain Elgin McKillop was appointed to head the operation last November and his first priority was to address the problems identified by Yanow. All safety concerns have been fixed to the satisfaction of management and crews, said McKillop, and the issue of disabled access is being taken care of, as well. As the ferry no longer operates between the hours of 2 and 5 a.m., maintenance and housekeeping time is now more available to the crew. The ferry service has also been restructured, so it is now under the supervision of a new separate marine branch of the transportation ministry. Ferry person- nel will now report to management with marine experience, rather than to the regional highways managers. SPRING * SPECTACULAR! * I * ^TOPQvAUTYTQUO MOWERS.

Asked if they would follow the lead of their Surrey colleagues and embark upon a taxpayer-funded junket to the orient, the mayor had this to say: "If we could see there would be a benefit (derived) from it, we would." Thoughts of that nature are apparently not holding the Surrey contemporaries of the local politicians back, it is reported in the Vancouver Sun that a leaked confidential report in that municipality has recommended that three councilors and two bureaucrats be sent on their annual all-expenses-paid-for (and of course, for them, tax-free) holiday to visit Surrey's "sister city" Zhuhai in Red China. Cost to the taxpayers of Surrey since the pilgrimages started seven years ago: $120,000.00, and cheap at half the price. Surrey's general manager of planning and development, Lehman Walker is reported to have said that these excursions "produce obvious cultural j benefits" although "their economic benefit is not as apparent." Really? We take it that either Mr. Walker or his immediate superior at Surrey municipal hall will be joining the travelling party. I'm not a taxpayer in Surrey and glad of it. If I were, I might consider buying the tickets provided they were one-way only. They probably still have 'gulags' in China and the thieving Canadian politicians and mandarins could conceivably be sent to work doing something productive for the first time in their lives Where else does our tax money go? Well, let's see. In the same issue of The Sun we read that the federal Health and Welfare department (now we're really talking about your tax dollars and mine!) will be spending $34,000.00 to hire two retired Edmonton prostitutes. I kid you not. Ostensibly, the pair of hookers will be assigned the important job of finding out (by interviewing former colleagues) what "the needs of street sex-trade workers are." Perhaps they could be better employed at Parliament Hill, where federal politicians could do to them what they now are doing to the rest of us Just two very small examples of your tax dollars at work One wonders about the so-called "coronation" of Vancouver's Kim Campbell to the leadership of the Progressive Conservative party. Doesn't "Canada's Madonna" realize that she is being set up as a sacrificial lamb? The federal Tories don't have the chance of a snowball at you-know-where. Last year we predicted in this spot exactly what would happen: that first Joe Who would retire, followed by a mad scramble of other cabinet ministers wanting to get off, and eventually there would be no one left. Campbell might become prime minister of this country, but alas, it won't be for long. She will have to call an election even if Mulroney won't. OTTAWA - a Gallup poll across Canada has released its results on such topics as the ideal population size for the country, immigration levels, the impact of population growth on Canadians and the environmental decline. Of those polled, 34 percent said that Canada's population, now about 27 million, should stay the same. A close 29 percent said it should be somewhere between 27 and 35 million; 18.3 percent said it should be more than 35. million; 12.8 percent said it should be less than 27 million, and 58 percent said they didn't know what the ideal population size should be. Less than 18.3 percent of the people said they support the .federal government's plan to increase Canada's population to more than 40 million. Regarding immigration levels, 32.4 percent said the current level at 250,000 new Canadians per year is too high. Another 28.9 percent said it was just right; 23.5 percent that it was somewhat high and 6.4 percent that it was somewhat low. Another 59 percent didn't know, and 2.7 percent said it was too low. Of 510 respondents, 51 percent said they thought Canada's environment has declined over the past 10 years; 26.5 percent said they thought it had improved; 20 percent that it had stayed the same, and 2.5 percent didn't know. The YES side owes half a million in GST OTTAWA - As if losing wasn't bad enough, the Canada Referendum Committee, better known as the national all-party YES committee on the Charlbttetown Accord, has been notified by Revenue Canada it owes the government $539,619.05 in GST payments that were mistakenly refunded. To make sure it gets the money, Revenue Canada received a federal court judgment against the committee.as well as an order allowing property and ETO0MP0UTlClPiH5»9 0H IHlimttlDKSriEneUt FROMDMIHINGIT! —V* Wk other assets to be collected in order to pay the debt. There is only one problem. Who is to pay the debt? The committee no longer, "exists", other than on paper only, as it disintegrated after February 26 according to the referendum law. "It's too late to get the money back," said Nicholas Locke, chief financial officer. "We have a little under $1,000 in the bank, some used letterheads and some books and records. If there was a mistake made, it was on their (Revenue Canada) part." The committee had allegedly received counsel that it could be eligible for GST refunds if it sold memberships as a non-profit organization. Locke indicated that in fact 70 memberships at $10 each were sold at two Ottawa rallies, and the committee subsequently received a GST registration number from Revenue Canada. After submitting GST returns at the beginning of the year, the committee received three refund payments totalling altogether an amount of $527,000. Locke maintained that even after some double-checking with Revenue Canada it was determined that the committee was entided to the refunds, used to pay suppliers. However, he said about a week after that the tax department did some reassessing of the committee and came up with the statement that the committee was "mistakenly refunded." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sentencing doesn't offer cure or solution Vandals win, Peggy loses Editor, The Star, Sir, Well, Warren Stanley Day finally got sentenced. And such a stiff slap on the wrist: a whole 18 months for molesting eleven girls. I'll bet their parents are relieved that justice was served. I guess we should be happy; this is a longer sentence than he received the last two times he was charged for the same thing. He'll serve at least six months of this sentence. ifp^ And isn't it reassuring to know that he's not allowed to open another pet store, since this is where he was molesting these children - this time. I guess when he's ready for another business venture he can open a toy store or maybe a candy store. He won't be violating his probation that way. The judge that gave Warren this ridiculous sentence should be made to take him into his own home when he's released from prison and let him live with his family. Put the onus on the judge to make sure he doesn't get at any more litde kids. A dog that bites someone gets more attention and swift legal action than these creeps that prey on innocent litde children. And a dog bite carries a lot stiffer sentence. The offender is euthanized A.S.A.R I believe I speak for a lot of Canadians, most of us parents, when I say we're fed up with the lenient treatment these creeps receive for such a sick crime. I'd like to finish this letter by expressing my own opinion. I believe that under the con stitutional act I'm entided to have one. I firmly believe that the only cure for all the Warrens and Clifford Olsens of the world is the 25 cent solution. If you're wondering what that is, it's the cost of a bullet. MARGO L. REID Clearbrook Highway needs crossing Editor, The Star, Sir, I've just read the article on 'Highway a Danger' and I must agree with Mr. Ledoux. The highways department will wait until someone is killed at this crossing. I've seen the guard at schooltimes and even she has her trouble with the traffic and pensioners just can't run across the highway. I had the experience last Monday evening while going to cross with my wife and daughter- in-law. I made sure that the cars are quite a distance away from the crosswalk. I proceeded to go across waving my hand when my daughter-in-law said "Wait, I don't think it's going to stop." Sure enough it flew past just about 1 1/2 feet in front of me. One more step and I'd have been the first victim. We hear some hints about when out at night wear something bright. Now here is a suggestion for the highway's department: Just put a box at each side of the crosswalks and fill with some bright jackets. This would be a lot cheaper than putting up some silly old light. What if it was expensive? If it only saved one life it would be worth it. So let's get that light up there. C.UPRICHARD 27346 - 30 Ave. Aldergrove Editor, The Star, Sir, I have learned that any proper family car really takes your savings away in improvements to keep it running well. But no matter what your needs, you need a good car to get anywhere. Peggy's 1980 Chev Malibu was old, but she kept paying for new parts with warranty to keep it running well. Her mechanic took good care of it, and after putting in a new rebuilt engine, he told her it was a good family car, sound as a 1987 or 1988 model. She really needed the car for college, and getting her kids to school or outings without worry of debts. She only used her car three months before it was sent to the wrecking yard on ICBC's decision, without telling us first. You might be surprised that the parents of the kids who vandalized it are not paying a penny to the victim, Peggy. They already know their sons damaged Peggy's car, but they still do not want to pay a penny. Perhaps they love to see Peggy suffer her problems and having to owe a debt to her mother. ICBC is not assuming responsibility for Peggy's expenses. They look at market value on a car, then give a low estimate settlement even if the already paid-for rebuilt engine has been hauled off and disposed of. Peggy's not at fault, and her situation's "too bad." Period. Where is the law to protect victims? EDWARD FORD Aldergrove A federation only of equals Editor, The Star, Sir, It was reported in the March 10 edition of the Globe and Mail that Quebec's Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Gil Remillard has requested a new round of constitutional talks. Mr. Remillard stated, "Our objective is still the same - Quebec first in the Canadian Federation". It is the position of the National Party of Canada that Canada can only be a federation of equals. It is also our position that there can be no further constitutional reform until such time a constituent assembly is established. National unity will only be achieved through a democratized process where change is based on true consensus. ROBERT BILLYARD National Party of Canada FraseirWley Wast ^-. ... .., , ,. ...

The man, who operated a pet store in downtown Aldergrove, was sentenced to serve 18 months in jail. It is his third conviction. "These (type of) offenders should not be out on our streets preying on our children and grandchildren," Coun. John Scholtens says. He introduced a successful motion Monday night that will see the formation of a task force comprised of the RCMP and representative for various civic groups. It's mandate; to prevent convicted sex criminals from ever establishing businesses in Langley that will give them the opportunity to come in contact with children. If Scholtens has his way, they will, upon release from prison, be run out of Langley. In this particular instance, he claims, the man, now in prison, chose his commercial enterprise "on purpose." As a pet store owner, Scholtens says, he had a great opportunity to lure young children onto his premises. Scholtens also has called for Cabinet spring cleaning needed VICTORIA - Premier Mike Harcourt's fine-tuning of cabinet responsibilities is too little too late - a complete spring-cleaning is needed, the Liberal opposition said last week. "The only reason why Premier Harcourt appointed Moe Sihota house leader was to capitalize on the skills Sihota acquired while in opposition - those of a loudmouthed, arrogant and obnoxious parliamentarian. The premier is playing to the only strong ability Moe Sihota has," said Gary Farrell-Collins, Liberal critic for ICBC. "It's about time Moe Sihota was removed from the ICBC portfolio - he has made a complete mess of the corporation," said Farrell-Collins. "Since Mr. Sihota assumed responsibility for ICBC, administration costs have increased 14% and the corporation will lose over $60 million this year." "Not only has this minister failed to stem the red ink at ICBC, but revelations about Moe Sihota's atrocious driving record have created a real problem. How can you have someone who is more qualified to race the Molson Indy be responsible for a corporation whose goal is to promote safe driving?" Farrell- Collins stated. Moe Sihota has admitted to racking up 21 points over the last few years. Farrell-Collins also criticized Harcourt for not going far enough in demoting Sihota. "Mr. Sihota failed as minister responsible for constitutional affairs - that became clear in last fall's referendum. He has failed as consumer affairs minister - twice being chided by judges for convicting people before they had a fair trial. And he has failed as labour minister by bringing in a labour law that is already chasing away investment. Added Farrell-Collins: "How many mistakes are allowed before Premier Harcourt gets the message? Clearly Mr. Sihota has been a disaster as a minister. It's time he lost more than just responsibility for ICBC - it is time for Moe to leaye stabinet." stiffer sentences in cases of this nature and has made a demand for an appeal aimed at lengthening the sentence. It is now the time for local politicians to do something, he says. "I am a little tired of watching the senior governments do nothing." DAWSON CREEK - A government-commissioned report released March 15 by Social Credit leader Jack Weisgerber recommends that the B.C. Research Corporation should be supported by the Harcourt government. Weisgerber released the report in response to the government's decision to refuse the financial support recommended by the independent review. While the report "is very clear about the severe financial difficulties that the corporation is experiencing... it also states that the short-term financial cost required to keep B.C. Research Corp. afloat far outweighs the economic cost of allowing the company to go under." The corporation has conducted valuable research into silviculure and pulp mill pollution control. It was privatized by the government a few years ago. Wesigerber said, "This decision is incredibly short-sighted. I can't believe (Harcourt's) pepared to sacrifice 145 existing jobs and countless future jobs and industries we can't even yet imagine. "This government has shelled out hundreds of millions of dollars at the drop of a hat for its own partisan purposes yet it refuses to support thhe B.C. Research Corp. with a million dollar loan guarantee. By turning its back as it has, this government is fostering a massive brain drain on our economy at the very time it should be seeking to attract specialized skills and increased investment."

This was another exhibition game before the VGS Bruins hit the ice for their tournament. Ridge Meadows came out very aggressive in the first period keeping Aldergrove boxed in their own end much of the time and when the VGS Bruins were able to make a rush the Wolverines weren't giving them an inch. Ridge Meadows was the first to score at 9:22. At 2:12 of the same period Ben Henthorne was to tie up the score on a Bruins power-play. Assist to Scott Robinson. The two teams played evenly in the second period scoring two goals a piece. B.J. Konschuh got the first Aldergrove goal at 12:53, assists to Josh Macknee and Chris Colonval. At 10:46 Ridge Meadows evened the score. Two minutes later Josh Macknee put the VGS Bruins ahead again. Assist Marc Windle. With only two minutes left in the period the Wolverines were to even the score once again while the VGS Bruins were two men short. The third period was full of end to end action as both teams fought for the puck and to score the winning goal. At 2:47 Matt Roberts, with the help of B.J. ended the battle scoring Aldergrove's fourth goal of the night. Final score Aldergrove 4, Ridge Meadows 3. At press time the VGS Bruins were heading into the semi-finals of the Aldergrove Spring Tournament. The VGS Bruins are still unbeaten, defeating Coquitlam 9-5, Hazelton 11-2, Williams Lake 5-0 and tying Mission 4-4. Good luck the rest of the way boys. Petite Bs win big "Our team is red hot. We know what we've got. We've got the spirit Can't you all hear it. SP...IR...IT" ALDERGROVE - The hometown Petite B ringette team played the whole season without a name. There were minor attempts but nothing would stick. Maybe it was a reflection on a slow start to the year when officially there weren't enough players to play the game anyway. Perseverance by team management and the coach pulled in a full complement by October. On the roster are Darci Arsene, Lindsay Brown, Tammie Chittick; Doreen Leverick, Evelyn Neufeld, Michelle Pink, Heather Seifred, Sonja Strandt, Colleen Waddell and Allison Waters. The girls ran the full range of experience and to some extent of ability. Since September they've learned how to lose and how to win, each gaining insight into themselves as a group working A Hazelton player uses a hoo Aldergrove's Ben Henthorne Saturday. Be sure not to miss this one ALDERGROVE - If you are a fan of either basketball or football you won't want to miss the basketball game to be played between some of the B.C. Lions football team and the Aldergrove High School boys basketball team. The game will be held at 7:00 p.m. on March 25, at the Aldergrove High School. The cost is a mere $2 for adults and $1 for students and should be an evening full of fun for the whole family. The proceeds of the evening will go to the Aldergrove Basketball Club which is a new non-profit group that will be promoting basketball in Aldergrove and will benefit boys and girls alike from our elementary schools and our high school. There will also be a raffle for two separate autographed footballs. Come out and support our community and cheer for the Totems or the B.C. Lions. k to slow left Hazelton cold, defeating them 8-2.

All parents of players are voting members. Please support your Executive. Aldergrove Petite B's got a lesson in spirit and heart this season from coach Dennis Arsene. toward a common goal, but all the time building in heart. Everything learned from the hours of guidance and encouragement by coach Dennis Arsene was needed in the last three games of the year. This was the provincial "B" finals played in Vancouver from Thursday, March 11 through the weekend. The final game held everything; great plays, spurts of individual achievements, terrific passing, defense and goal tending. The lead in scoring switched back and forth between teams. No one can be singled out as a key player but mention of Tammie, the goalie must be made As much as she loves being a part of the end-to-end rushes she gave this up to basck the team. The gold brought home is within. "Spirit" that the girls call out in their pre-game chant just might make a fitting team name. Presto nfs '^_Jp.

This game was to end as a 9-5 victory for the Bruins. They went on to defeat Hazelton, 11-2, then tie Mission 4-4. The most exciting game of the series came Tuesday morning against Williams Lake, as they pitted the tournament's top shooter, as determined by Monday night's Skills Competition, against Aldergrove's goalie, Josh Letkeman, tournament's best goalie. Both teams played their hardest, but Josh was out to prove his worthiness of the title, as he held off the Laker's best, and earned a shut-out, 5-0. Tuesday evening the Bruins defeated South Delta, 6-1, in the semi-finals. They now advance to the Wednesday finals where they will meet North Delta in a 12:00 noon game.

They took on the Coquitlam team. Although 'Grove was first on the scoreboard with a goal by Delayne Dupuis, from Jason Ballantyne and Ryan Jones, Coquitlam answered with a quick response, to ripple the mesh behind netminder John Enns, and another one early in the second period, just for insurance. Wes Schwartz tied it up with a goal assisted by Jones and Derek Vanderburch. Unfortunately, Coquitlam had one more in them for a final score of 3-2 for Coquitlam. John Enns was kept busy, stopping 16 shots, while the goal tender of Coquitlam made 18 stops. The Jiome team spent 18 minutes in the Penalty Box, while our little angels only spent 16 minutes playingshort handed. Pee Vfee B's Tie One on In an exhibition game against the Abbotsford B2 team, the Aldergrove Pee Wee B's looked like they were going to come out of it with an easy win. They were 3 goals up on their opponents in the first period thanks to a hat trick by Cliff Carlsen, first from Darren Caldwell; then from Matt Holmes, and Wes Schwartz; and again from Caldwell and Jason Ballantyne. Abby finally got past goalie John Enns, just before the end of the first period. Aldergrove's Carlsen put in 2 more, one from Ballantyne, and one unassisted. Abby scored 2 more in the second period, making the score 5-3 for 'Grove, but the Abbotsford team managed to get 2 more past goalie Gerry Tucker, tieing it up at 5 all.

Leo Medina, 13, of Langley overpowered Robert Fitzgerald, 12, of Prince George in the first round of their Diamond Belt bout in Burnaby, February 27. Medina has defeated everyone in the 101 lbs JR B division. Coach Denny Ross said Leo will have no choice but to move up to 105 lbs or to Jr C. The competition will be very tough either way. Medina has won three in a row and will fight next in the Silver- Gloves next month. James s Allison 10, was the only other Langley fighter in the 1993 Diamond Belt Tournament. Allison, who won the most outstanding boxer award in last month's Emerald Gloves, lost a decision to Billy Agar, 10, of Kelowna. Most ringsiders felt Allison had won the fight, as did coach Denny Ross. Allison will get an opportunity to settle the score in next month's Silver Gloves. Agar is the younger brother of boxing prospect Jon Agar, who was on the same card. Jon Agar defeated long time rival *&ltifen Henley of the Riley Park' Eagles. Denny Ross has made arrangements for Allison to spar with Henley who has had 11 fights and is an open fighter. The Silver Gloves will see a larger team, says Ross. "All our boxers have had the. flu over the past month. This set us back a .month. We would have started many other fighters in the Diamond had the flu not been a factor." In the Silver Gloves, Langley will see the debut of lightweight Steve Wood, 15, and "middleweight Simon Vander- ^fcwan, 17. Both fighters have looked real good in the gym and are ready to compete, says Ross. All these fighters have been registered with the Canadian Amateur Boxing Association. The Langley club is still looking for a club house. "We need a place soon," says Ross. These kids are working hard and deserve a facility that will allow them to develop. We don't need a big place, just a basement or room at some facility." The boxing club is using the gym at Murrayville Elementary school. The gym is not available over the summer.

'They came out on the right end of a 4-2 score after a very workmanlike job. The game was never really in doubt as Gold Key took control of the game from the opening whistle. They outplayed their opponents and created many scoring chances, and were rewarded for their efforts when Cam Willmets finished off a passing play combination involving several players giving the goalie no chance with a low hard drive from close in. This first goal from Willmets came at the 21 minute mark. Gold Key continued to dominate on a very slippery, greasy, field and with 37 minutes gone in the game Willmets found himself on the end of another pass. He made no mistake as he calmly slotted his 2nd goal. The half time whisde found Gold Key with a 2-0 lead. The second half began with Gold Key again dictating play and creating chance after chance that they found difficult to put the finishing touch to as the field was very muddy in front of both goals. At the 60 minute mark Joe Deacon made it 3-0 as Gold Key continued to pressure their opponents. Completely against the run of play on a rare corner kick the Gold Key goalie found a slippery ball he had caught jarred loose in a goal-mouth collision. In the ensuing scramble Port Coquitlam got it into the net bringing the score to 3-1. This goal was 68 minutes into the game, but Gold Key were not finished as they came roaring back getting their 4th goal at 79 minutes. This one scored by Joe Wright. Port Coquidam scored a late goal with 8 minutes remaining when a Gold Key defenceman slipped giving them a shot close in which gave them their 2nd goal. Final score 4-2. The win gave Gold Key sole possession of 3rd place in the league just 1 point out of 2nd. Next game for Gold Key is a Pakenham Cup bout against Surrey United at Bear Creek Park on Tuesday March 16. Kick-off at 7:30 p.m. Gold Key's final home game will be at Parkside on 32 Ave. on Sunday, March 21. About myths and misconceptions By DONNA HILL LANGLEY - Nature lovers can learn about the fascinating lives of bats in a "Bats, Their Biology, Myths & Misconceptions" slide- show hosted by the Langley Field Naturalists Mar. 19, at 7:30 p.m. S.F.U. professor Dr. Harestad will share his enthusiasm and knowledge about these misunderstood and often misrepresented creatures of the night. One common myth explains that bats fly around your head because they like to nest in your hair. The truth is that as you walk, you disturb a multitude of insects that the bats swoop down to feed on. They are not interested in your hair at all! Bats are very agile creatures that feed on the wing. They scoop insects into the skin between their fingers, then transfer it to their mouth where tiny teeth crunch go to work. Of course sonar plays a great role in allowing these furry acrobats to dodge trees and catch their food in complete darkness. Join us for this free presentation so you too can enjoy the dark silhouettes that dart around your compfire. Meet at the Langley Arts Centre, 4899 - 207 Street. Everyone welcome.

All teams formed for the Jamboree are grouped into three - 4 colour divisions. Each team plays 3 games against opposing teams of a different colour. The colour division collectively compiling the best record will be declared the winner. The number of penalties assessed is also taken into account to determine the final standings. Play will commence at 5 p.m. Friday, March 26, at the Ladner Arena. The South Delta Minor Hockey Association should be congratulated for their work in offering something special for PeeWee "C" players in the Lower Mainland area.

Teams from all over the province, many of them provincial championship bound, were entered in the event. This provided a great incentive for the boys and a good test of their skills. Playing their first game early Saturday morning against Williams Lake the team was up and ready for game action. The Williams Lake team had some skilled players but the Bruin players matched them goal for goal. Down early they fought back making for a game that featured end to end action and many exciting plays. With the third period coming to a close and overtime imminent the unfortunate happened. A Bruin player was called for covering the puck in the crease and a penalty shot awarded. The Williams Lake player was deft enough to get the puck behind the good sprawling effort of Bruin goalie, Ryan Leakey. This was enough to carry the Williams Lake team on to the winners bracket. Later on Saturday the team rallied from their earlier defeat to play a spirited game against the 100 Mile Rep. team. Nicholas Seguin led the way with two goals as the boys maintained an edge in the play and on the score board. They came out of the game as victors 3-1. This victory propelled them in to the 'B' final against a team from Beaver Valley. The Beaver \fclley team was a skilled group of boys and they -l£»<C'to work dil'igently to maintain an edge in the game. They scored early and were able to build up a 3-0 lead before the Bruins finally scored making it 3- 1. It wasn't enough to shift the momentum as the Beaver Valley ■ team went on to post a 4-1 final victory making the Aldergrove THE FRASER BASIN AND YOU f Mf OPEN HOUSE The Chairman and members of the Fraser Basin Management Board invite you to an Open House at the locatbn and time most suitable to you.

MARCH 18. 1993 It's murder at Little Theatre Barnrais©r time "for the kids" jj. By KURT LANGMANN Fleetwood Mac may be nothing more than a distant memory for most of us, but the man who really was the architect of the band's sound, Lindsey Buckingham proved that he's far from a burnout with his recent Out Of The Cradle album and his concert Sunday night at the Commodore. female gender, they also added that female vocal sound that's so complementary to Buckingham's vocals. For about 90 minutes he trotted out a good mix of Mac faves (Tusk, Go Your Own Way, etc.) along with his new songs (Soul Drifter, Street of Dreams, You Do or ~\bu Don't, etc.). The Mac, along with Abba, were truly over-played back in the '70s, and I was one of those that soon tired of them. But those tunes did stand the test of time to still sound great today, and it was wonderful to see Buckingham do right by them with his new band. After all, John Fogerty found out that no matter how he felt about losing his royalties to old CCRhits, the public that bought his concert tickets deserved to hear Rolling Down The River along with the new stuff. People who spend $25 and more for a ticket want the tunes, not personal vendettas and obscure record company politics. Buckingham might not be selling mega-quantities of records and tickets any more The highly animated talents of Lindsey Buckingham (above and inset) proved that there can be a better life after Fleetwood Mac and put smiles on all the faces at Sunday's show. -Kurt Langmann photos I've been enj0"ying the album since last September, but after seeing his former cohort- paramour Stevie Nicks perform at the Us Festival ten years ago in San Bernardino (it was truly awful — she was out of tune, overweight and put all her energy into spinning around like a top) I was ready to be disappointed with Buckingham. Thankfully, not only is Buckingham a quirky but tuneful songwriter, he's got a great stage show — his first since the Mac's demise. Starting out on solo guitar, he promptly showed that he is a master of the frets. Then the band joined him, for a total of five guitarists (!), a bassist, keyboard player, and three percussionists. It was an incredible sound, and with two of the guitarists of the (hey, he hardly needs the cash with all those Mac royalties still pouring in) but the musical integrity he's showing makes him an admirable survivor. May he continue to blossom. I also caught the new Bob Rock project, Rockhead at Chilliwack last weekend. Rock is the fabulously successful hard rock producer — the David Foster of metal? ~ and his new album was released by Capitol last week. Rock, currently producing the new Motley Crue (or is it Crude?) album in Vancouver, slipped out with his boys to play a highly charged set at Earthquake Annie's, Friday and Saturday.

There's a huge debt to Led Zeppelin in their sound and Rock makes no secret of that. I offer no predictions, but I know that I interviewed Bryan Adams at the same club about a dozen years ago. When Adams' second album came out a few weeks later, clubs could no longer afford him. Perhaps history will repeat itself -- Rockhead is booked to tour the country with a big name metal act in coming months. Lyle Lovett plays the Orpheum Friday, and tickets are recommended if you can find them. His recent Joshua Judges Ruth album is, like Buckingham's, quirky but clever and tuneful. And gets scarce radio play, too; some people just have no taste. Another night for weirdness is guaranteed next Wednesday, March 24, when the Pleasure Barons bring their "Trailer Park Trash-a-billy" to the Commodore. The all-star 13-member R&B revue includes John Doe, Country Dick Montana, Mojo Nixon, Dave Alvin, Rosie Flores and Katy Moffatt, all decked out in Las Vegas cheese style. Country Dick (of the Beat Farmers) could give a show all by himself sure to entertain and offend everyone on the planet. To see all these cats together in one place is an unbeatable bargain in music and humor.

Come preview the latest spring fashions at five themed stages throughout the centre modelled by professional freeze models. The New Wave in Nautical, The Softer Side of Spring, Flower Power, Investment Dressing and Heat on The Street Sports Wear will be presented. Cohen's The Future and Neneh Cherry's Homebrew. Cohen, like Bob Dylan, can't carry a tune, but who else writes lyrics like they do? Closing Time is Cohen's giddy anthem to the beverage industry with wry words that say it all ~ this, I predict, could be a huge hit on the karaoke circuit, as bizarre as it would be to hear. Cherry's the step-daughter of Don Cherry (no, not the goon-hockey Don Cherry, but the jazz trumpeter) and she brings a lot of jazz influences to her brand of hip-hop. She also has REM's Michael Stipe on guest vocals on the sure-to-be-controversial Trout song, a sex education plea set to the riff of The Pusher. Like Janet Jackson, she's got the smarts to go with her street savvy, and that's something I can't help but admire. Last, but not least, be sure to watch the eternal youngster, Neil Young in a half-hour concert special Friday on CBC-TV (K.D. Lang also is featured that night). Young made a great comeback with his Harvest Moon album last year, but the closest he got to Vancouver was an outdoor show at Washington's Gorge last summer. Solo, with a fleet of guitars on stage, and a view of the canyon at the winery that's spectacular, it's the best kind of Young. As for Lang, she's winning awards for her Ingenue album (I detested its conceits, for whatever that's worth), and she should be back in the Fraser Valley soon to work on her next studio project. Meanwhile, her manager, Larry Wanagas has moved his Bumstead Productions office from \ancouver to just south of Aldergrove in Washington state. The provincial government will probably blame free trade (not!) for tharmcfve, but perhaps they should compare their taxation policies with Washington state's for a better perspective. After all, when Michelle Wright's manager, Brian Ferriman opened a Nashville office, he still kept his Toronto office.

Past President, John Jackman; President, David Hockin; Vice-president, June Willson; Secretary, Dora Chapman; Treasurer, Beatrice Jackman; Directors Tom Miller, Martha Siemens, Fred Philps, and George MacLeod. The Society's representatives appointed to the Aldergrove Revitalization committee were John Masztalar and Gerald Cuthbert. Dora Chapman thanked the volunteer members who assisted with the recent and very successful Heritage Week display. A keen interest was shown by the younger children and teenagers in the display of antique articles of earlier days. Most questions asked were about how the butter churn worked, and what the wooden butter mold was used for. Many folks viewed the video showing the move of the Shortreed cabin to the Aldergrove Regional Park, plus the work being done on the restoration of the B.C. Telephone building. Old time photos of times gone by in our surrounding communities were on display, with an excellent display from the Alex Spano's collection of early river boats which plied the Fraser River. Members were reminded that the Senior Lottery tickets are now available. Volunteers will be selling tickets next month in the Aldergrove Centre Mall, and 30% of the tickets sold may be retained for the society's funds. Marketing chairman Beatrice Masztalar, with her assistant John Jackman are busy promoting the pre-sale of the Aldergrove and communities' history book. Guest speaker for the evening was the chairman of the annual Bradner Flower Show, Marion Brown, who gave an interesting talk on the history of the flower show.

Tara is a member of both the Otter Horse Club and the Woodlands Rabbit Club. Second place was won by Jacqueline Stone, 10, also of the Otter Horse Club.

They heard speeches from 16 boys and girls, aged 9 to 12, representing eight 4H clubs in Langley District. Each of the participants qualified by placing in the top two or three in club level competition. "We heard some excellent young speakers," says Langley District Councillor Aubrey Searle, one of the three judges in the event. "I wish we could have told each one of them that they had won berause they did very well." Other judges were Pauline Gryschuk of the Pacific National Exhibition livestock entry office, and Roberta Carlson, past provincial 4H specialist and a club leader in the MSA district. Each participant presented a speech of three to five minutes on topics ranging from "Marmalade the Cat", to "Getting my ears pierced", and "How I broke my arm". They were judged on the organization, preparation, development and presentation of their speeches. Tara and Jacqueline will represent Langley District in the regional speaking competition to be held March 26 in Mission. Good times at dances By OBU. THOMAS ALDERGROVE - On Wednesday night, 52 people came to dance to the music of Norm Gunter and his Peppy Shakers, but Norm was down with the flu so he sent Pete Clelland to play the fiddle. 50/50 was won by Dorothy Bright and Charlie Milward.

We have mutually agreed upon meeting several times. Once I travelled into Vancouver to meet her. I wait at the designated place and time. She doesn't show and makes excuses why she didn't show up the next time I talk to her. I realize that either business or relatives might keep her, but come on, this has happened three times now! Should I give up on her, or patiently await the day we can have a visit7 Signed: Disgruntled in Langley. Dear Disgruntled, This has probably happened to all of us with visitors from out of town. Next time you hear your friend is making a visit invite her to your home for lunch and a visit. That way if she still doesn't show at least you can sit down in comfort and eat your lunch. It appears your friend has more to keep herself busy than your friendship. If she continues to neglect you in this rude manner, cool the friendship. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ * Dear Readers, In 1985 after graduating from Simon Fraser our daughter Nancy left our bed and board and headed for the brighter lights of London. First to travel around England and Scotland, staying at bed and breakfasts along the way. Going through some of her letters last week we found a poem she had penned. I would like to share it with you. Ode to the English Breakast by Nancy L.E., B.A. Wakey, wakey! Rise and shine! Eat that fry-up, you'll be fine! Eat it mouldy, eat it cold Eat it sixty-three days old. . Eat jtjfyjth a tarnished spoon, Eat it with a fat buffoon. Eat it, eat it. Can't ask for more No - hold on - there's more on the floor... Eat it with a friend or two Eat it with the Great Wazoo. Eat it all and nought is lost Unless you drown it in brown sauce. Eat it standing on your head- Then you'll choke and end up dead. Eat it frozen as a treat Or on a date - aww, that's sweet. Line your boots when it is cold Then eat it later, flavoured bold. Stuff it down your blouse or pants Then lie outside and feed the ants. Eat it wlren you're still in bed Or on a boat (but near the head.) On the ceiling, on the wall Eat it when you hear it call: "Eat me, eat me, eat me up! I'm your breakast! Hup, hup, hup! Hup two three four. To the table, Wear clean knickers. That's a fable. I'm not fussy - look and see- Just an English breakfast, yes, that's me! Burned and fatty - that's my cue But please don't smell me - oh, P.U. So here I am, put down your Cokes, I'm your English breakfast, folks." And that's the story of the fry-up: Bacon, eggs and lots of ketchup, Fried tomatoes, fried bread too, Sausages and things that moo, Beans and beans ahd beans galore Enough to start an orchestrore! Salt and pepper, blood and tears Eat it all, reaffirm your fears. Here in England; aye, there's the rub: •John Major's making greasy grub. The End. (*For those of you are politically correct, we did change Margaret Thatcher's name to John Major.) LANGLEY - Breathe summer into your wardrobe with styles that make you feel as if you are slipping into a soft bed of flowers. Creations with a floral theme are in full bloom at the Bid for Dreams Gala Dinner and Auction happening at the Kwantlen College new Langley campus on April 3- Students of Kwanden's fashion design and technology program are designing and sewing summer dresses to be auctioned at Bid for Dreams to raise funds for equipment, scholarships and awards. The garden images reflected in their garments stem from fresh flowers which will permeate the room in anticipation of the Provincial Horticultural Training Centre opening at the campus. The United Flower Growers Association is providing fresh B.C. grown flowers for event decor and as auction tiems. This hybrid of fashion is drenched in diversity. "Each floral tlieme is interpreted through fabric, print or applique," says Kwanden fashion instructor Julie Hobart. "Inspirations come from craft museums, spring fashion shows and nature." "There's a strong movement towards environmental themes in fashion which will be seen in the floral prints and get-back-to- basics clothing," she adds. Thirty-two designs in a range of sizes will be displayed at the event. Five of these will be auctioned. They will be the most outstanding in construction, visual impact and versatility of fit. Each dress can be altered slighdy to suit the successful bidder. Interchangeable styles you can dress up or dress down are the answer to affordable clothing that is also beautiful, according to fashion design student Anna Sklyarenko. Her design, accessorized with a hat and belt, incorporates the flow of a multi-colored rayon fabric styled to move with a grace that is hard to find in sizes 16 and up. Sklyarenko emigrated from Russia where her only opportunity was to work as a crane operator despite her love of fashion. She now fulfills her dream to produce feminine clothing for large-sized women and says, "A woman is always a princess on the inside." To ensure that every man feels likes a prince, several fashion design students are gathering bouquets of "flowery" fabric to produce nearly 200 bow ties and neckties for sale at the Bid for Dreams event. Lisa Reed is one of those students. She says, "There will be a lot of eye-catching, bright colors with large and small floral prints available in easy-to-care fabrics." Charging a reasonable fee for their summer inspirations, she adds, "Selling these ties is our way of helping raise money for Kwanden College." Fabulous fashions, high-tech- equipment and adventurous experiences will be offered at the silent and live auctions in addition to an evening of gourmet dining and spirited entertainment. All proceeds go to the growing needs of Kwantlen College and its students. Tickets are $100 per person (a portion tax deductible) or tables of ten can be reserved for $1,000. Please call 599-2074 to reserve your seats. Visa and Mastercard are accepted.

MARCH 18. 1993 -15 MEETING NEXT WEEK Local environmentalists look closely at chloramine People in Los Angeles enter the underworld By JENNIFER SIEGRIST ALDERGROVE - A spokesman for. the Langley Envronrriental Organization says that worries over new water treatment techniques have prompted a special public meeting on the issue. LEO member, Al Grant of north Aldergrove, resides adjacent to West Creek, and is also involved with the West Creek Watershed Protection Group. As a result of the WCWPOs concerns over the use tf chloramine as a secondary disinfectant, the group has since received a copy of the GVRD's December 1992 Baseline Report. According to this report, between 1989 and 1990, two watermain breaks occurred in the pilot test area where chloramine was used as a secondary disinfectant, and as a result, killing the fish in Fergus Creek in Surrey. Afterwards, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans laid charges under the Fisheries Act and initiated . the environment assessment review process, requiring an environment impact assessment of the proposed Waste options studied BURNABY - A technical study of solid waste management options for the Lower Mainland has recently been commissioned by the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) in cooperation with the provincial Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks and Environment Canada. Over the next 10 months, a consortium led by the Vancouver office of CH2M Hill Engineering Ltd. will assess different methods for reducing and disposing of the region's garbage as part of Stage II of the GVRD's Solid Waste Management plan Review. "To meet the provincial goal of a 50% reduction in waste by the year 2000, we need to find better ways of reducing and recycling our waste," says Pitt Meadows Mayor Bud Tiedeman, Chairperson of the GVRD's Technical Solid Waste Advisory Committee. The GVRD's Solid Waste Management Plan Review process began in 1991 with the formation of public and technical advisory committees. These committees, involving representatives from the public, industry and government, have played an important role in determining the options that will be assessed during Stage II. The technical studies by CH2M Hill will identify the cost and benefits of a range of waste management options, including waste.reduction and recycling. Once the technical studies and public consultation process have been completed, a draft solid waste management plan will be submitted to the provincial Minister of Environment, Lands and Parks. A full public consultation program in planned, including the Creating Our Future Critical Choices conference ori May 15, workshops and a public forum. Interested members of the public can also review reports and other technical information at one of the several reference centres and add their name to a mailing list for a project newletter. Individuals, groups and business organizations are encouraged to participate in the development of the new solid waste management plan. For further information about the Solid Waste Management Plan Review, contact the Review office (451-6040).

Although the requirement for this project to be reviewed under the environmental assessment review process was later rescinded by a Supreme Court ruling, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans requested the plans and specifications for the project under Section 37 of the Fisheries Act Since there wasn't an environmental review process under EARP, the Greater Vancouver Water District elected to undertake their own environmental review of the impact of secondary disinfection alternatives. The assessment of impacts of Civil servants|| get shorter week TORONTO - Ontario civil servants may be faced with a shorter work week if they want to keep their jobs. The province's treasurer, Floyd Laughren, announced to labor leaders at a private speech in Ottawa that Ontario may have to go the way of Manitoba and Newfoundland, adopting such measures as shorter work weeks in order to save jobs and bring down the ballooning deficit. Laughren asked unions to cooperate in the effort by bringing some "creative solutions" to the bargaining table that would acieve the same goals. The unions are having a difficult time with the concept. secondary disinfection alternatives and associated reportingus being undertaken in three stages to allow input from the public ahd government agencies throughout the environmental impact assessment process. These stages include: -the production of a baseline report which incorporates the information that will form the basis for the impart assessment; -the environmental impact assessment of secondary disinfection alternatives and the determination of mitigation requirements and methods; and -the development of conclusions and recommendations regarding the secondary disinfectant alternative to be employed by the GVWD, based on the results of the EIA, input from the public consultation process, and costs associated with the secondary disinfection alternatives. Two possible disinfection alternatives mentioned by Grant are pref iltration and rechlorination, but he has not seen any indictication that either of these methods had been evaluated as to their costs or their effectiveness, as yet CMoramines are used as a disinfectant in water treatment because they have the persistent quality of staying in the water after the bacteria is killed. L.E. O. 's next meeting is scheduled for March 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Fort Langley Community HaU. The guest speaker will be biologist Lee Nikl, head of the Water Quality Section of Fisheries & Oceans Canada. BREAK OUTOF I MIGRAINE MISERY Attend the Headway Info-Session on Migraine!

LOS ANGELES - This Califor- nian city opened its- first underground rai lway recently and the four and a half miles of track built so far just happens to end at one of those areas where you would not wish to visit. And the cost of a trip to hell and back - just 50 cents. You ascend the escalator at Westlake-MacArthur Park station and there is everything bad about downtown America spread out before you: the boozy dropouts, used syringes in the gutter, the smell of poverty. . Better to turn round and go back down again, which is what most locals who go out there for the ride decide to do. The new metro has refrigerated air, shiny silver trains and a mood of optimism about tomorrow's world that most people in this teeming, polluted ethnic melting pot have forgotten. In the city of the automobile, with its gridlocked freeways and pervading blue-grey smog, the arrival of the underground is viewed either as the cavalry coming over the hill or a white elephant that the bulk of the population will reject. The LA County transport authority, with about $l,870-million invested so far, was at pains to say that 25,000 people used it on the first day.

Get set for Hits'93 MATSQUI - Ifs hard to believe that with spring just around the comer the time to start planning your home improvement projects is now. At the second annual Home Improvement Trade Show, April 2 to 5, the Tradex facility will become your ideal one-stop shopping centre for all kinds of home improvement products, services and ideas. The introduction of HITS to the Fraser Valley in 1991 proved to be a valuable endeavour as exhibitors expressed their high level of satisfaction with the audience reached and sales generated The strong growth in attendance experienced later at Southoc's other Fraser Valley Home Show, the Fraser Valley's Home Ideas & Recreation Show, confirmed the audience's appreciation. Many visitors to the Fall Show stated it was their "second" visit, having already been at HITS 92. "We expect this trend to continue as word of mouth spreads and more people learn of the Slew's advantages," says Mark Stephenson, exhibit sales manager. "We're prepared to welcome 15,000 visitors through the doors of HITS 93." HITS audiences will appreciate the focused home improvement theme of the '93 Show. In addition to the more than 150 exhibitors featuring the latest options for your home, HITS 93 offers visitors the opportunity to speak with the experts directly and . prosper from the excellent at-show savings on a variety of products and services! Popular features, such as the BC Hydro Renovation Zone, with the lastest in residential Power Smart technology, will play a big role in HITS 93. As well, a number of new features are being developed specifically for the Show: the all new Do-It- Yourself stage will feature hands- on professional instruction on a variety of home-improvement projects smch as wall finishing, tiling, interior design, and decking and fencing; The Cash and Cany section of the Show has exhibitors offering at- show specials on products available right-off the Show floor.

Lindstrom, Wendy McClelland and Kristi Olsen all have extensive training in childbirth education, breastfeeding, labour support and patient advocacy. Regular series of pre-natal classes are offered to expectant couples; while in addition the group offers some other very unique services. For couples (or singles) unable to attend the eight regular classes, private "in home" classes are available, or if you have a very limited amount of time you can choose "Pre- Natal in a Day". Refresher classes are also offered for those who have experienced childbirth before; and along with the refresher classes are sibling preparation classes. The group also offers a very special service to birthing women - labour support. A labour support person stays with the mother while she labours at home, during transfer to hospital and during the birth of the baby. The labour support person's job is to provide emotional and physical support during labour, to act as an advocate in the hospital, and to interpret the medical equipment and jargon that often surrounds birth. The Fraser Valley Childbirth Education Association is a nonprofit group dedicated to providing consumers with knowledge and information regarding pregnancy and birth. The group believes that birth is a natural, normal process and not an illness; and encourages "family centered maternity care".

No happy middle ground at Fort MURRAYVILLE - There does not seem to be a "happy medium" when it comes to the question of development or non- development for Fort Langley, says township Coun. Steve Ferguson. Some want it and others don't, he says. And both sides are quite militant about it. Councilors decided Monday night not to make any immediate decision on whether or not to approve of a set of recommendations made by the Fort Langley Economic Enhancement committee. Instead, the resolutions from FLEE will be turned over to municipal staff for their recommendations. Fort history Fort Langley's programs commemorate the many fur-trade activities of early British Columbia. Established in 1827, Fort Langley was an important outpost of the Hudson's Bay Company. Its influence extended from Hawaii to Alaska. On November 19, 1858, it became the birthplace of the colony of British Columbia. An _x m Z7 mmmmm mm ill DCG OR ©EfflB QlIIEZaYl?

B.C.'s Discount Auto Centre MOSCOW - On the one day of the year in which they are indulged, Russia's women will be forgiven for wondering why it is they who bear the brunt of the nation's woes. International Women's Day was traditionally one of the Soviet Union's most important public holidays, celebrating the "struggle for women's rights" that was being won under communism. State media would use the Spring Is coming, and so are floods . In many parts of winter-weary Canada, the first breath of spring can also coincide with the danger of flooding. For many of us, it's just a matter of the basement sump pump working overtime and hoping the sewer doesn't back up. But for others, flooding meansfseveral feet of water and silt wreaking havoc in their home or business and having to evacuate to a safe haven until the flood waters subside. Flooding costs Canadians millions of dollars annually and causes untold hardship and grief when lives are threatened and possessions, homes and property are destroyed or damaged. Often, there is advance warning of spring flooding. Officials monitor rising water levels due to run off, melting snow, heavy rains, ice buildups and other local conditions and keep the community informed. However, floods can and do happen virtually any time of year. Flash floods - as the name implies - start with little warning and are of short duration. They often accompany such other major disturbances as violent storms, hurricanes, dam bursts, earthquakes and torrential rainfalls. You have a basic responsibility to protect and prepare yourself and your property in the event of a flood or other potential disaster. The following is some advice from Emergency Preparedness Canada (EPC), the federal government organization responsible for promoting preparedness for all kinds of emergencies. If a flood threatens: • Follow the instructions of emergency response officials. • Do what you can to prepare and protect your home and property from the effects of flooding, such as moving electrical appliances and valuables to higher ground and/or protecting them with plastic. • Remove potential toxic pollutants such as pesticides and chemicals out of the basement and garage to where they are not likely to contaminate flood- waters. • Be prepared to stay in your home without electricity for a prolonged period. Prepare a supply of food, water and other necessities. • Have a battery-powered radio, a flashlight and spare batteries. • Be prepared to evacuate on short notice. Assemble appropriate food, clothing, footwear, documents, medication and other essentials to take with you. • Keep sufficient gas in your vehicle so you can try to drive out of the danger area, if advised to do so by emergency officials. • Be prepared to shut off the electricity and gas supply in your home, if the utility company has not already done so. Downtown Abbotsford Dealer License 6225 853-0711 JILL-OF-ALL-TRADES WiU do any honest work. Pay according to job offered or will barter NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL Phone: 856-5645 During a flood: • Keep a battery-powered radio with you - or tune in to the car radio - to listen to emergency instructions broadcast on a local station. • If evacuating by car and the motor stalls in a flooded area, abandon the vehicle and seek refuge on higher ground. You risk endangering your life by staying with a stalled vehicle in rapidly rising floodwaters. • Do not attempt to shut off the electricity in an already flooded building. You risk electrocution. After a flood: • Do not re-occupy a flooded home or building until there is a safe water supply and a satisfactory system to dispose of sewage and garbage. • If, when you return, the basement is still full of floodwater, drain it in stages - about a third of the volume of water per day. This will help avoid structural damage which can happen if the water is removed too quickly. • Water in a flooded basement should be disinfected every three or four days if the house is occupied by adding liquid bleach to the standing water. • Make sure all heating systems, electrical appliances and wiring touched by the floodwaters are checked out by a qualified technician before using them again. • Dispose of all cosmetics, medicines, toiletries, food in boxes, contents of the refrigerator and freezer that have been in contact with floodwaters. Also dispose of food in jars and bottles if floodwaters could have seeped in or contaminated the seals. occasion to herald the pioneers with hard hats on head and hammer in hand at the factory, or with their scarves blowing in the wind as they applied the sickle to the crops. At the same time, women were expected to queue for hours at the shops, prepare every meal, clean the house and not complain the often drunken husband was violent. By the time she was 30, the average woman had had several abortions. Women's Day is one of the holidays that post-communist Russia has retained. For 24 hours, men are expected to wait on wives and mothers, shower them with gifts and relieve them of household chores. So overwhelmed are they that by the evening most husbands give up and get drunk again. Instead of improving their lot, capitalism has for many made matters only worse. It is women who are first to be laid off, comprising 70 percent of the 600,000 registered unemployed, and most of the three million who are paid to clock on and go home. Gerinady Melikyan, the male employment minister, said recently: "Why should we employ women when men are unemployed? It's better that men work and women take care of the house." The remark produced hardly a ripple in a society which feels comfortable with a diffident First Lady such as Naina Yeltsin rather than the ambitious Raisa Gorbachev or even distant Hillary Clinton. Many nouveau riche Russian businessmen encourage their wives to give up their jobs. Politicians, meanwhile, see women as a conduit to their menfolk, and both sides in the power struggle have met women's groups. Communist organizations recently staged a "march of empty pots and pans" through central Moscow to draw attention to the difficulties the women face in feeding the family at a time of galloping inflation.

MARCH 18. 1993 Sihota creates labor loophole big enough to drive a hospital through VICTORIA - The Harcourt government is violating the spirit of their own labour legislation in handling of the closure of Shaughnessy Hospital, the Liberal Opposition revealed. "The NDP's lack of consultation and heavy-handedness Video and epilepsy March is National Epilepsy Month and Epilepsy Canada strives to increase public awareness about the disorder. A small number of persons with epilepsy have had seizures when playing video games. At least 14 different video games from various manufacturers have been involved and no particular one has been demonstrated to pose a greater risk. Dr. Peter Wong, president of Epilepsy Canada and Dr. Kevin Farrell, both pediatric neurologists of Vancouver, state that patients with certain types of epilepsy are at higher risk and that most susceptible patients are between 7 and 18 years of age. Dr. Farrell, who has treated children who have had seizures while playing video games notes that most have had generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures. Patients with partial epilepsy are much less likely to have seizures precipitated by video games, unless the seizures are associated with visual symptoms. The majority of patients have had epileptiform discharges on the electroencephalogram (EEG) when exposed to flashing lights. This is a routine procedure performed during the EEG and the discharges are called photosensitivity. Drs. Farrell and Wong note that although photosensitivity occurs more commonly in teenage girls with epilepsy, video game seizures have been reported much more often in boys. This is probably because boys play video games more often than girls. Treatment with an antiepileptic medication has prevented seizures in some children who continued to play video games, but avoidance of video games has been recommended for most children who have had a seizure when playing a video game. Almost everyone finds flashing lights distracting and unpleasant, but in a very few persons the effect of sunlight through trees or dazzling reflections off wet roads has been known to trigger seizures. Prolonged exposure to flickering lights, especially red, the small flashing figures and excessive eye movement necessary to play video games may trigger seizures among persons known to be photosensitive. Doctors say that most modern computer screens do not flicker at a rate likely to bring on a seizure in photosensitive persons. Televisions flicker at a different rate and are only slighUy more likely to spark a seizure. For people who have had seizures while playing video games or watching television, they should watch television in a well-lit room and stay at least 2.3 meters from the screen. Polarized sunglasses may also significantly reduce the effect of flickering lights. Light stimulation of any kind which causes a seizure is a rare occurance among persons with epilepsy, and even much more rare among the rest of the population. For more information contact your local, provincial or national epilepsy association. on Shaughnessy Hospital is precisely the kind of action the government has tried to prevent with its new labour code," said Liberal labour critic Gary Farrell- Collins. "The NDP felt workers needed protection from supposed big, bad management, but now the NDP is treating staff far worse than would any decent employer. I'm wondering who needs protection from whom?" Farrell-Collins said the NDP is delaying the proclamation of two sections of Bill 84, the Labour Relations Code, to impose the Shaughnessy closure on staff without discussion and consultation. Sections 53 and 54 of the labour law established mandatory joint consultation committees between employees and management which give unions input and say in any decisions made by management that affect security of- employment. Under the new code, 60 days notice must be given. The current collective agreement is clearly inadequate. During debate on Section 53 and 54, Labour Minister Moe Sihota said 'we want a fundamental shift in attitude away from confrontation and the adversarial relationship.' The Minister went on to say he wanted 'to engage in preventive mediation, to deal with issues before they become issues.' "The NDP's confrontational approach on Shaughnessy has made the closure one of the most controversial issues facing healthcare," said Farrell-Collins. "They bring in a bill that gives employees enormous influence over management decisions, but when the NDP is the management, they ignore the workers." Farrell-Collins stated even though sections 53 and 54 have been delayed until May 1, the NDP should abide by their spirit. "Instead, the Harcourt government went behind the employees' back, and is now ramming their decision, as a fait a compli, down the throats of hospital staff." "The NDP has created a loophole in their labour legislation big enough to drive a hospital through," charged Farrell-Collins. "Why is Ken Georgetti not standing up for the people who pay him to protect their interests? If it were any-other employer than his NDP friends, he would be screaming from the steps of the legislature." Computer game firms issue epilepsy warning LONDON - Teenagers with undiagnosed epilepsy could have their first fit while playing the plug-in video games that are set to be best-selling toys this Christmas, neurologists have warned. Sega and Nintendo, locked in battle for leadership in the rapidly expanding video games market estimated to be worth $l,400-million in Britain alone this year, have issued epilepsy warnings for the first time. Between them, the Japanese firms have sold more than three- million machines in Britain, costing around $200 a set, to plug into televisions, allowing users to slot in a range of games which involved 'zapping' the enemy and outsmarting opponents. 38% of B.C. not Brit, French VANCOUVER - Statistics Canada's 1991 census data shows that in 1991, 38% of British Columbia's population reported ethnic origins other than British or French. Thirty-five percent reported on their Census forms that they were of British ancestry and 2% reported French only origins. Ethnic origin refers to the ethnic or cultural groups to which an individual's ancestors belonged, not to place of birth, citizenship or nationality. Next to British (35%) and European (17%), persons of Asian ancestry were the next largest ethnic group in the province (11%), representing an increase from 8% in 1986. According to the 1991 Census, one in nine British Columbians is of Asian origin. In, 1991, of those who reported a single response, 2.3% reported Aboriginal as their ethnic origin. After British (23.1%), the largest single ethnic groups in Greater Vancouver in 1991 were Chinese (10.6%) and East Indian (4.2%) In Greater Victoria, after British (34.6%), the most frequent single response to the ethnic origin question was German (2.9%), Canadian (2.5%), and Chin«?se (2.3%). Garden opening heralds beginning of spring BURNABY - Gardeners, environmentalists and other Lower Mainland residents can welcome in the spring at the opening of the GVRD's Compost Demonstration Garden. On Saturday, March 20, the garden, located at 4856 Still Creek Road, will shake off its winter Public will learn to create new soil MURRAYVILLE - Because of a senior government edict that 50 percent of all solid waste be eliminated by the year 2000, the local municipal government has decided to start a "compost demonstration garden" for public edification. Garden will be located across the street from municipal hall and will be an "interactive park" according to a staff report. "I wouldn't say we have had a lot of public demand for it," the township's director of environmental affairs said Monday night, in answer to a question put by one of the council members. He added that "It is safe to say that if you build it they (the public) will come. "Without education composting suffers," he concluded. dormancy and once again be open to members of the public who are interested in learning about the process of backyard composting. People who attend the opening of the garden will be given free packets of wildflower seeds to beautify their garden this summer. The demonstration garden offers people a close-up look at different types of compost bins in action, and experienced staff are available to answer questions. Apartment dwellers can also learn how to compost, using a worm composter indoors or on their patio. Beginning March 20, the garden will be open and staffed from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Mondays are available for group tour bookings. Various municipalities throughout the GVRD have their own compost demonstration gardens, and others are in the process of development.

Ed Vanwoudenberg organized the petition earlier this year because he disagreed with federal consideration of extending these rights to same-sex couples. The candidate for the Christian Heritage party in Fraser Valley West said he's been encouraged by the Ontario court ruling of March 15 which stated that two gay m«5n could not fulfill the primary function of marriage, procreation. There was a dissenting opinion from one of the three judges in the case, however. Vanwoudenberg said he's been "encouraged by the response" to his petition. "People read about my initiative in the papers and asked for forms. Churches responded by placing the forms in the lobby and one Christian school participated by having the students write individual letters to the justice minister as 'the leaders of tomorrow.'"

"Once behavior is given a status deserving of the definition of rights, only a ruling by the Supreme Court is needed to force all levels of government to amend laws and enact new ones to deal with these alleged disadvantaged individuals or groups. This will be a sellout and will further devaluate our standard of traditional values. A society that continues to strife to find the lowest common denominator finds itself with no standard at all and ends up morally bankrupt," said Vanwoudenberg. However, spokespersons for homosexual groups said they were encouraged by the opinion of Ontario Justice Susan Greer, who said it was in the state's interest to "foster all family relationships." An appeal and other court challenges are expected.

MARCH 18. 1993 Prayer is the only answer -La By MUN HOPE ALDERGROVE - Two hundred church leaders are planning a prayer retreat in April during the week after Easter. This historical prayer summit was announced at an information meeting held March 8 at the Inn at Westminster Quay. Many local residents attended, coming from Chilliwack and many Fraser \fclley localities. "This is God's hour," said Terry Dirks, who gave a report of prayer summits being conducted all across the continent. "In Saskatoon, Calgary and 20 cities throughout Canada, prayer summits are being held." "Revival is actually in progress in South America," said Ed Silvoso, who extended an invitation to Fraser Valley church leaders to attend a forthcoming conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Speakers from Canada, United States and around the world will participate in this international gathering to be held in November. "Can you imagine a congregation of a few hundred worshippers that in five years grow to 70,000 members?" he asked. "Can you imagine a lay preacher who has seen more than two million decisions for Christ in less than ten years?" he added enthusiastically. Meanwhile, prayer groups are continuing to meet regularly throughout the Lower Mainland on a non-denominational, non- sectarian basis. Dr. Joe Aldrich, author of Lifestyle Evangelism and Prayer Summits, will be a special guest at the April prayer summit. "We long for God to touch our communities for Christ," he said. "The primary problem is that Christians have forgotten that God's blessing is not distributed unconditionally." Believers plagued by disunity Worship in Church and dissension are disqualified from God's blessing, while unity and co-operation among true members of God's family will result in mighty things being accomplished by Him, according to this Portland writer. Prayer summits usually begin with a time of spontaneous worship. The focus is on the Lord Jesus Christ Himself - Who He really is as the Son of God (or God the Son). Participants will spontaneously read a Scripture about the Lord Jesus; someone will give out an hymn of worship; someone will give praise, adoration and worship to God. As the participants become increasingly occupied with the Lord Jesus Himself, everyone present wants only to draw attention to the Lord Jesus Himself and His essential glory, His moral glory, His redemption glory and His resurrection glory. Temporarily, they will forget their personal needs; and even their blessings which are secondary to the Blesser Himself, become relatively insignificant in the presence of the Lord Jesus. This time of worship is not prearranged beforehand; and is not structured with a printed program. After such a meeting with the Lord Jesus, it is not surprising that many of the participants have been transformed forever. Contemplation of the Lord Jesus results in transformation of the believer. This Prayer Summit meets for four continuous days, during April 12 to 15, at the Firs Conference grounds in Bellingham, Washington. It is co- ordinated by a group of Canadian church teaders from the Lower Mainland. Immanuel Lutheran Church _C_ 3272 - 272 S., Aldergrove —■jf 85«3-4710 JI' Rtv.

"Bob Williams is out to discredit Skytrain because the high speed rail system was a Social Credit achievement," said Liberal transit critic Art Cowie. "Mr. Williams is doing in the Crown Corporations Secretariat what he could never do in government. He has interfered with the operation of the Transit Authority, forced a delay in purchasing additional cars, and' this will cost the system." Cowie said Skytrain is an enormously successful and popular system, with ever- increasing ridership. The cost of Skytrain per passenger ride is less than the cost on other systems, including the SeaBus. "People like Skytrain, and we are willing to use the system, so the NDP government has made a huge mistake by delaying the purchase of new train cars." It was revealed this week that a delay in purchasing new cars for Skytrain means that the existing system will have to cope with the increased ridership expected when the Whalley station opens in Surrey next year. "The NDP government and the Minister responsible for Transit, Glen Clark, should stand up to Bob Williams," charged Cowie. "Transit plans and expansion must follow the pattern of urban growth, and the actions of Bob Williams have done a real disservice to transit." Cowie concluded that the end result of the action by Bob Williams and the Harcourt government will be longer lineups and decreased service. "This will only convince more people public transit isn't for them, and our Lower Mainland streets will become more clogged than ever." production last Thursday evening.

Are you just looking for some good ol' silly fun? Well, by Jove, I think you've found it! This week, the Mom and I got down and dirty; really personal...Let's say a famous plastic surgeon was giving freebees, what would YOU get done? Bill Shafer If I got anything done I'd lose my character! Loretta Farrell, Sr. ,Pd like a tummy tuck! Jason Phillips, 15 I wouldn't get anything done because I like the way I am right now. Jerry "Young with Christine, 10 I'd give my opportunity to the Premier to have his lips sealed so we'd hear no more! (And young Christine made sure we knew how she felt, "No way!" she declared.) Best friends Cassey Chalkias, 10, and Vanessa Mepstead, 10 I wouldn't want anything changed, I like my face the way it is...I wouldn't want anything done either, I'd look different and then people wouldn't know me. LONDON - Almost half the people of Britain would like to emigrate, according to a recent opinion poll taken here. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States are still favorite destinations. According to a Gallup poll 49 percent of Britons are now so fed up with the state of modern Britain that they would emigrate immediately if they were free to do so. In the wake of a world-wide recession and massive unemployment, however, most of the potential host countries only look for immigrants who have skills "that are in short supply." THE ALDERGROVE STOsltV MARCH ia. 1993 Bradner prepares for annual May Day .21 Harcourt reaffirms commitment to agricultural reserve VANCOUVER - Premier Mike Harcourt and Agriculture Minister Bill Barlee reaffirmed the B.C. government's commitment to the Agricultural Land Commission and its mandate to preserve B.C.'s floodlands. "The ALC is here to stay," Harcourt told delegates to a symposium on urban growth held in \&ncouver on March 9- "The introduction of the land reserve system in 1973 was one of the wisest and most far- reaching decisions ever made by government," Harcourt said. "After twenty years it's no longer a question of whether we should have an Agricultural Land Reserve - the issue now is how to make it better. We can't keep putting pressure on our agricultural lands. We've got to find ways of moving urban growth up not out...up in urban densities and up onto hillsides, not out into rich valley farmlands." In their remarks to 150 representatives of local government, agriculture, business, the development community, the professions and other sectors, Harcourt and Barlee said that preservation of agricultural land has never been more important than it is today. They reminded everyone, from land speculators to local governments, that lands in the ALR were there for present and future agricultural use and not for other purposes. To back up their commitment, the premier announced the government's intention to introduce changes to the Agricultural Land Commission Act in the upcoming legislative session "to strenghten the integrity of the Agricultural Land Commission." The premier and minister also commended the hard work and dedication of B.C.'s farm families and farm communities, and their contributions to the diversity and vitality of British Columbia. A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Put poison in its place Did you know that most poisonings occur while a product is being used? It's, a fact that could help you save a life! The scenario goes something like this. Mom removes the liquid furniture polish from the cabinet and places it on the dining room table. The telephone rings and Mom .goes to the kitchen to answer it. In the meantime, two- year-old Bobbie climbs onto a chair, grabs the container of polish and drinks it. Mom has been out of the room for less than a minute. That's all the time it takes for a poisoning to occur. "Poison Centres receive calls like this one every day," says Jerry Casanova, Director of Pharmacy at Langley Memorial Hospital. "In 1990 alone, over 33,000 poisonings were reported to the B.C. Drug and Poison Information Centre. Part of the reason why continuing accidental poisonings of children occur is due to scenarios like the one here." March 14 to 20 has been designated Poison Prevention Week, with a tlreme this year "Put Poison in its Place". Over the years, people have learned that it is important to lock up poisons and keep them out of reach of children.. Cabinet safety locks, child-resistant caps and warning symbols are helping reduce the risks of poisonings. Casanova offers some reminders on ways to protect the adventurous Bobbies of this world: • Return potential poisons to their safe storage place • In answering the phone or door bell, take either the child or the poisonous product with you • Clean up after craft projects • Empty cocktail glasses immediately after a party • Put away cleaning products • Don't take medicine when children are watching - • -Replace all child-resistant caps "Thanks to donations from the Fleetwood Mazda/Newlands Ladies' Amateur Golf Tournament, at LMH we supply all new mothers with a poison prevention information kit, which also contains syrup of ipecac", says Casanova. "With the advice of a physician or the Poison Control Centre, ipecac can be used to treat certain poisonings. This product is available through any retail pharmacy." The telephone number of the B.C. Poison Control Centre is 682- 5050 and should be recorded near all telephones. BRADNER - On May 24, this community will again be hosting a May Day celebration that is second to none. This event is organized and sponsored by the parent Advisory Council of Bradner Elementary School along with the help and support of school staff and the local community and has been celebrated in Bradner for well over sixty years. May Day beings at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast, followed by a parade at 10 a.m. A short program during which the May •"•ueen is crowned and maypole dancers gracefully v eaving their colourful ribbc to ne music of a piper, kick oft a full day of fun family activities. There will be a craft fair, bingo, races, game booths, an art show, interesting exhibits and demonstrations and lots of food. "Brew" the dog of Kokanee fame will be there along with many other colourful characters. One of the big hits of last year's May Day was the tug-o- war competition featuring teams from the Matsqui Police and the Abbotsford Judo Club. They will be back this year and they are looking for challengers so get your team together! Everyone is invited to attend Futurist on retirement CALGARY - One of the country's leading futurists says that by bringing early retirement upon people between 55 and 64 years of age, an atmosphere of dependency will be fostered that can only be negative for society. "It's an irrational idea," says John Ketde, futurist and editor of the FutureLetter. Kettle argues that many people in that age bracket aren't ready to retire, and by taking away a working force in society means an added strain to the contribution to the Canada Pension Plan. University of Calgary sociologist Richard Winner agrees. "It's a waste of human resources," he says, adding that the approach is short-sighted and that the monetary contribution to society by older Canadians has been overlooked. COMPUTER SYSTEMS INC.

In springtime the stars come out ALDERGROVE - Get a look at Comet Schaumasse (pronounced "sha-ma-say") and discover our springtime skies in an astronomy program, Saturday, March 27, at Aldergrove Lake Regional Park. Far from city lights, the park's seclusion is an ideal spot to explore the heavens in an outdoor setting. The two-hour, drop-in program, "Springtime Stars", begins at 7:30 p.m. with a slide show presented by astronomers from the H.R. McMillan Planetarium. Then get closeup planetary peeks through high-pqwered telescopes, or gather around a crackling campfire for hot chocolate and star folklore. Weather permitting, viewing possibilities include Comet Schaumasse, discovered in 1911 in France. The moderately-bright comet, located in the constellation of Lynx 30 million km from earth, has not been this close to us since 1952. Other possibilities include Venus, the Moon, Jupiter and its four moons. Remember to dress warmly and bring a blanket, a flashlight, mug, and binoculars or telescopes if you wish. Hot chocolate and other goodies will be available at the Semiahomoo Fish and Game Club's concession. Registration is not required. There is an admission fee of $1 per person. Everyone is welcome. The program runs 'rain or stars'. The program is sponsored by the Greater Vancouver Regional District, with assistance from The British Columbia Space Sciences Society, which operates the H.R. MacMUlan Planetarium. Members of the Vancouver Centre Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and the Fraser Valley Astronomers will be on hand to help. Enter Aldergrove Lake Regional Park off 8th Avenue, 1.5 km east of 272nd Street. For more information call GVRD Parks at 432-6359.

OBITUARY LOJSTRUP, Nyson Jauerst (Louie), aged 79, of Grand Forks, B.C. passed away peacefully at his home on March 10, 1993. He was born November 25, 1913 in Denmark. He was a dragoon pre-WWII and during the Nazi occupation he was a policeman. He married Karen Elisabeth Sorensen April 27, 1940. They had two sons Preben and Sveno. The family immigrated to Canada in 1956 going first to Edmonton then to Kitimat. In 1959 the family moved to the Aldergrove area, where he ran various second hand businesses. He retired and in 1984 lost his beloved wife. He moved to Grand Forks in 1990 where he loved to have discussions on health, religion and astrology.

A committee would map out options for a republic by the year 2001, the. centenary of the federation of states into the present Commonwealth of Australia. Under the nation's constitution, a referendum, which Keating said would be held "later in the decade", would have to produce a majority in at least four out of the six states to break links with the British crown. New South Wales and Victoria, which have about two- thirds of Australia's population, would almost certainly go for a republic, observers say. Board 'refuses to bargain' MURRAYVILLE - On March 11 the Langley School Board refused to continue bargaining with Langley teachers, says LTA president Diane Gorton. The day before, the teachers had rejected unanimously the board's contract stripping package at an emergency general meeting. They instructed their bargaining team to return to the table and continue to bargain for a fair collective agreement." Gorton said, "Last month the teachers chose not to take job action. The board's response was to strip away the class size limits and hiring practices that we now have in contratf." Gorton said that Langley teachers have been striving to achieve a collective agreement which focuses on resources at the classroom level. They want manageable class sizes and services for students who have special needs. "Langley teachers are concerned that the district's priorities are in areas other than student services," she said. "We know that the province provided $2.1-million for the administration at the school board offices last year," she added, "but the board decided to spend $3.6-million. "The province also allocated enough money for 11 speech and language pathologists in Langley. We have 5.5 pathologists. "The teachers are committed to negotiating services to students as a priority in this round of bargaining. What are the board's priorities? she concluded. Spiritual warfare in the valley? ABBOTSFORD - Is there spiritual warfare in the Fraser Valley? Stephen King aside, such a question may seem far-fetched to the average person on the street. To others, however, an understanding of spiritual warfare is crucial to working with teens and families. "There is a harsh reality moving in," says Imbenzi George, youth worker for the Conference of Mennonites in B.C. "The family is undergoing an intense spiritual tune." "I cannot conceive of a youth pastor in the '90s who will not be faced by spiritual attack," says Brad Jersak, youth pastor at Bethel Mennonite Church in Aldergrove. "Spiritual warfare is not an option* The only option is whether we're victorious or not." "I come from the very practical setting," adds Imbenzi. "I've seen prayer so central in my life and in bringing victory to the lives of people." Out of their personal experience and conviction, Brad and Imbenzi will lead a two-day seminar in Spiritual Warfare organized by the Centre for Continuing Education at Columbia Bible College. They will be joined by church" planter and pastor Gary Lbewen, who will draw on his experience with the church both in Brazil and in Canada, and also by Vic Janzen, who has been involved with a deliverance ministry team in the lower mainland. The sessions will also include testimonies from people who have experienced spiritual oppression and an open time where people may receive prayer. The seminar is geared for both youth and adults. It will be held at Columbia Bible College on Friday, April 2, 7 to 9:30 p.m. and Saturday April 3, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, or to register, call the college at 853- 3358. jL m — What happenpd to bachelors? By ALLAN MASSIE LONDON - The reviews of the new biography of J. Edgar Hoover by Anthony Summers have been revealing, less for what they tell us about the dictatorial director of the FBI than for the light they shed on our own times. Most reviewers have delightedly reported Summer's allegations that Hoover was secretly a transvestite, though some have admitted that the only evidence comes from a tainted source and is extremely suspect. Few, however, have questioned the assertion that Hoover's second in command, Clyde Tolson, was also his lover. The evidence for this is largely circumstantial, though there are reports, of dubious reliability, that they were seen- holding hands. But the solid evidence is simply that they were friends for more than 40 years; that Hoover collected Tolson on his way to the office every morning; that they lunched and dined almost daily and went on holidays together. To many people this will be conclusive; some of us may have our doubts. Why? Well, there are three expressions, all current in my youth, which seem to have died: confirmed bachelor, misogynist and spinster. I have known representatives of each category, all of whom would have been shocked to have been accused of what they would have considered "unnatural vice." Yet nowadays, any woman without a male partner is likely to be thought a lesbian; this would have astounded my maiden great aunts. Likewise, confirmed bachelors are all thought to be as queer as coots. It used to be different. Anyone over 40 who had a British private school and university education will have known schoolmasters and dons who were crusty old bachelors. Some disliked women; some may have feared them; some found them simply irrelevant. They lived, as did army officers, in a masculine world, and they didn't marry, either because they lacked opportunity or inclination, or because they couldn't afford to. A few, admittedly, were pederasts; some repressed any desires they i»ay have felt, and would indeed have thought it wicked to give them physical expression. Some may even have gone on holiday with colleagues with whom they lunched and dined every day. But they would have been rather surprised if anyone told them that this proved they were having a sexual relationship with that colleague, whom they quite probably addressed by his surname for 40 years. The truth is that until recently men and women lived largely separate existences. There was a male society at work and clubs and sport, and a female one of, let us say, tea parties. They came together at certain points, but not for everyone. Men were not supposed to marry till they were in a position to support a wife and family, and sometimes, by the time they had reached that position, they had got out of the way of thinking about marriage and were comfortably ensconced in their exclusively masculine world. All this may be hard for today's young to understand, but it is the way many people lived then, and middle aged critics should remember it. I am not saying this is how it was with Hoover and Tolson, but I am saying it is quite possible and even likely that it They may, of course, have been a couple, like Somerset Maugham and Gerald Haxton, but they may equally have been a different sort of couple, like Holmes and Watson, who shared rooms, adventures and holidays. Jokers, of course, have suggested that, too, was a homosexual relationship, but it is not a thought which occurred to Conan Doyle. Today we have put sexual identity and sexual satisfaction at the center of things. Biographers seem to think their first duty is to tell us about their subject's sex life. Taxpayers 'ripped off by fair wage policy KgJQWICHAN BAY - Social Credit labor critic Lyall Hanson released documents proving that the "fair" wage policy has inflated ironworkers' wages on public construction projects. "Now we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the Harcourt government is shelling out millions of dollars extra for wages that are artificially inflated only for work being performed under the 'fair' wage policy," Hanson said. Hanson released a recent Memorandum of Understanding between the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamantal Iron Workers and Reinforcing Contractors that outlines new industry wage rates for rebar workers. The M.O.U. specifies that ironworkers performing reinforcing (rebar) work under the "fair" wage policy will be paid the required rate of $21.36 an hour. But the wage rate for all work not covered by the fixed wage policy will drop to $ 20 an hour. "In other words, taxpayers will pay a seven percent wage premium on all rebar work as a direct result of the 'fair' wage policy," Hanson said. "While ironworkers' wage rates will be slashed for all private sector work, due to this ludicrous policy the government will continue to pay inflated wates for public construction work. "It's absolutely scandalous that taxpayers are being forced to subsidize the Harcourt government's harebrained policy of paying higher than union wage rates in this case. The government should immediately eliminate the 'fair' wage policy that is so clearly unfair to taxpayers. "Most British Columbians don't make anywhere near $21.36 an hour, so it's unreasonable to make them pay such inflated wages to construction workers, who are already well-paid. "Before the government has any moral right to jack up our taxes, it must get rid of this despicable policy that's costing the province $2Q0-million a year," Hanson said.
