BC Tel's Norm Blain was at council to promote the idea of a toll-free telephone calling area all the way from Abbotsford- Mission in the east to Bowen Island in Howe Sound. He told councilors that BC Tel will be applying to the CRTC within one week for permission to proceed with the plans for doing away with long distance charges within the region. %jf£ Blain admitted that the proposal wasn't perfect "by any means," and urged councilors not to support it by any means, but rather to help inform the local public about the ramifications. It would be important to Jiear input from the public both pro and con, he said, acknowledging that it would "impact on low and fixed income people." The monthly rates for having a private or business phone would be adjusted upwards if the toll- free area became a reality, in some cases more and in other cases less. One year ago, telephone subscribers in Aldergrove voted overwhelmingly in favor of ■Moving their area included in a toll-free calling zone including part of the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area. With the expected tremendous population growth in the lower mainland, Blain said, now would be the time to readjust the system. Councilors did support the concept. Reformer tables recall legislation OTTAWA - Reform party MP Deborah Grey has tabled a private memb«2r's bill in parliament dealing with the recall of elected officials. "It's about time that the members of parliament started representing their c»nstituerts' interests in Ottawa, rather than Ottawa's interests to^, their constituencies", said Grey. "They passage of this bill may convince them to do just that." It's closed, and that's it MURRAYVILLE - "They (the federal government) don't seem to be cutting costs in Ontario and Quebec," one councilor commented acidly. Langley township had received a letter from federal Environment Minister Jean Charest explaining that the national historic site at Fort Langley will remain partially closed during winter months. "I do understand the town- . ship's preference for daily operations, and can assure you that my department, too, would like to', keep the fort open seven days per week," Charest said. "Nonetheless, Environment Canada's parks service, like other government agencies, must adjust to the realities of operating during a time of continuing budgetary restraint... Towards the goal of year-round, daily operations at Fort Langley, the Canadian Parks Service has initiated a volunteer recruitment drive. It is hoped that, in the future, volunteers, high' school student placements and other partners will assist parks staff in providing a level of service that meets the needs of everyone." Fort will be open Sunday to Thursday during the winter months, and in addition the gates will also remain open Fridays. The bill would allow voters in any federal constituency to recall their m«tmber of parliament if a petition signed by at least fifty percent plus one of enumerated voters were successful - a by- election would then be called for that seat. The bill included a number of checks and balances which would govern the recall's use including: a limit of one recall petition p<2r member for the duration of a parliament; and the investigation by the chief electoral officer of any possible offenses of the act. Local Reform candidate, Randy White said, "Canadians have the right to expect politicians to be governed by the same rules as its citizens for non-performance. Our party will continue to insist on accountability in our Canadian political system. The Aldergrove STAR Illeqitimus non carborundum VOL.34 NO.51 THURSDAY.

OTTAWA - According to the latest statistics, Britain is no longer the country from which most of BC's immigrants come. Last year's statistics said the largest national group in the province was British, followed by immigrants from Hong Kong and China. However, those figures ha?«e changed dramatically, and show that now in the Greater Vancouver area, immigrants from Hong Kong lead the way at 18 percent, followed by Chinese at 14.1 percent, Indians at 93 percent and Filipinos at 6.9 percent. Nationally, however, the British still make up the largest ethnic group of immigrants, although the numbers have dropped from what they were 10 years ago to 20.6 percent. After the British come the Chinese at 12.8 percent. There are currently 4.3 million immigrants living in Canada, comprising 16.1 percent of the total population. The bulk of those immigrants are living in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and BC. MURRAYVILLE - "So much verbiage," says Coun. Aubrey Searle. "Governments talk and talk." Searle was commenting on a request from the Fraser Valley regional library that February 1 to 7 be declared 'Information Rights' week in Langley. "What does it mean?" he asked. "I would like to make an inappropriate, smart remark ... but I won't," said"Mayor John Beales. "No, don't," said Coun. Trudi Campen.

Next year will see more development, Beales says, also promising "improvement to roads." Councilors have been "walking a fine line (between development and retention of the township's agricultural base) in 1992 and done a fairly good job of it," Beales told a council meeting here Monday night. He pointed to an award from the development industry and to accolades from the provincial agricultural land commission as proof of the validity of his pre- New Year statement to his constituents.

DECEMBER 24. 1992 Educated squabble |j at Langley council Hi MURRAYVILLE - It's rerun time at Langley municipal council. A recommendation that runway and parking lights be installed at the local airport once more had councilors grouped into unbalanced coalitions this week. The mayor had left the room, and Coun. Muriel Arnason was presiding. On one side it was avowed -arit^-airport crusader Coun. Aubrey Searle tacitly supported by the acting mayor, and, on the other side, the rest of council. Searle again tried to shoot the proposed improvements down in flames, once more invoking the specter of a possible future Fraser Valley University rising like a phoenix out of the airport runway. Three other councilors present were clearly annoyed but listened with good humor. Coun. John Scholtens gave voice to the irritation when he said, "There has been a change of government (in Victoria) and if you asked them about a university in the Fraser Valley the response would be: 'Where is the Fraser Valley, and what university?' What is this hoopla every time the airport comes up? It is not that it is a large airport from where you fly to Hawaii. If ever an airport has been studied to death it is this small airport. We have seen the airport literally die because of two councilors." (Several businesses have moved out of the airport because of conceived non-cooperation from local government.) Scholtens and fellow councilor Steve Ferguson pointed out that the $400,000 project would only go ahead if senior government were to commit itself to a $285,000 funding contribution. And the runway lighting would only increase operation of the airport by about five hours into the early evening hours. Searle tried again. "I think we have gone insane, stark raving mad," he claimed. "Why is it that this (lighting) is so important?" It could still be that some time in the distant future a university could be built on the airport lands, he contended. After the speakers had burned themselves out, the side of majority -voted to consider the project in their $100-million-plus budget deliberations in January. Searle sighed, and the mayor returned. Big Brother knows MURRAYVILLE - A majority of council members here say that 'big brother' knows best. They have agreed to let the province^Ump a large amount of dirt - originally said to be highly contaminated - in Langley. Soil comes from the Concorde Pacific property at the shoreline of Vancouver's False Creek. Three councilors, Steve Ferguson, John Scholtens and Muriel Arnason tried to get a meeting scheduled for public input in Langley prior to the approval, but this approach was voted down by the other four. "We must have trust in the environment (ministry) people," said Coun. Trudi Campen. "There is a limit to public involvement." Soil will be dumped at the 200 Street - Highway 1 overpass. Originally, the local councilors expressed fear that it could lead to contamination of Langley's groundwater supply. Council's approval has one proviso: that there be a 'pre- and post-monitoring of the sediment and that safeguards are in place in accordance with the new BC Environment Ministry Urban Runoff Quality Control Guidelines for BC, dated June 1992. Recycling to cease MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here have turned down a request for financial assistance from the Aldergrove Elks. The Aldergrove charity had sought council's help in continuing their paper recycling service. They have been collecting an average of 40 tonnes of newsprint a month, but the collection depot behind the Elks ' hall and the Aldergrove Center mall has had its share of problems. On several occasions, young punks have set fire to the bins and large amounts of paper has been scattered all over the parking lot, soaked by the rain or blowing here and there with the wind. Coun. John Scholtens favored assistance. "Pound for pound it is the best deal we have ever seen \ (in paper recycling)," he said this week. Other councilorsJsajjid municipal officials, however, were not happy about the operation. It should be shut down, they said, because of the amount of vandalism that has taken place. "If every business in Aldergrove that has been subjected to vandalism should be shut down," Scholtens responded, "then we might as well shut down the town." ' Municipal officials have for some time been talking about setting up stations of their own to collect cardboard and newsprint. "But is will have to be manned sites," one official said. At present, residents can have their discarded newspapers picked up once a week if they leave them in the blue boxes at the curb. But there is no pickup for people or businesses in the urban areas of the township. The Aldergrove liquor store staff provided 96 plush bears for the needy this Christmas through their unique adoption program, whereby customers bought a $10 bear for themselves and for each bear sold, one was provided free to groups like the Christmas Bureau, Aldergrove Lions and Legion for distribution. Rick Roberge, Lesley Harris, Marion Chandler and Marv Worthington gathered thankful handfuls of the bears, which sold out twice this year. -Kurt Langmann photo Cuts just 'smoke and mirrors' VICTORIA - Liberal finance critic Fred Gingell describes the latest round of cost saving measures announced by the provincial jj government as nothing more than smoke and mirrors. The $250-million in savings announced so far is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a government that is facing a deficit of $2.8-billion," said Gingell. "A lot of these savings are not really savings at all, but simply adjustments and deferrals that the government will have to deal with at a later date." Gingell noted that the government has cut back on health care and legal aid by a total of $50-million yet it finds plenty of money to hire its friends and insiders as consultants or appoint them to various boards and commissions. "Those people who can least afford it, the poor and the sick, feel the brunt of these cutbacks while the NDP's friends from all across the country line up at the public trough at taxpayers' expense." In the cutbacks announced Dec. 9, Gingell said a portion of these savings do not result from any government action at all. For example, he points out that the $30-million dollar saving in education simply results from a head count in schools and the government not spending as much money as it originally forecast. Gingell believes that the Harcourt government is in such serious financial trouble and so desperate for funds that British Columbians will likely face further tax increases next spring. G.S.T.

Manager will be asked to submit a report upon his return to Langley. "I am looking forward to a very good report," says Coun. John Scholtens, who regularly is telling his fellow councilors that it doesn't pay to farm in the Fraser Valley and that in many cases it would be better to subdivide the land for residential use. On the other hand, Scholtens doesn't favor too high population density either. Speaking to a report that favors rezoning in the Murrayville area, he has this to say: "Let us not ruin Center now well on its way LANGLEY - The new Seniors' Resource Centre will be a reality by next winter, thanks to a lot of goodwill and faith on the part of the communities of Langley city and township. stained cedar exterior and green metal roof.

The central core of the township already has the highest property values in the municipality, he adds. Mayor John Beales says the provincial agricultural land commission "has done a tremendous amount of good" but that it also has its flip side. Ever since the commission was introduced almost two decades ago, he says, it has contributed to an inflation in raw land prices for residential and commercial development. "It has almost made it impossible for people to buy." "It's easy to dump on the ALR," says Coun. Aubrey Searle. But Beales says he would like to see an inventory of true agricultural land in Langley township. Such an inventory has never been prepared, he adds, and "there are hundreds and hundreds of acres out there (in the agricultural land reserve) that never could be farmed, but could be subdivided."

DECEMBER 24. 1992 ON THE FRONTLINES Merry Christmas! and obscenities By KURT LANGMANN Christmas time is a time to offer my thanks to all our treasured readers. Your interest in oui small, family-operated business is heartening, and frankly, without you, there'd be no point in it This marks my twentieth Christmas at The Star, and while the years have had their ups and downs, I've not a single regret The good heavily outweighs the negative aspects and I hope there's many more good years and memories to come for all of us. But with all the glad greetings and bouquets I'm sending out, there's one fellow in the area who deserves to find lumps of coal in his stockings come Christmas morning. His family name is unknown, for reasons you'll discover, but there's another name for him. Actually, I have a long list of names for him, but for the sake of this story let's just call him Mr. Zero. Not very long ago, this Mr. Zero his wife and young daughter patronized a local public facility. My son works part-time there to help pay his way through SFU, and paid no particular mind to the family at first. My son's job is to monitor and protect those who patronize the facility, and as a low man on the totem pole had been charged with such duties as tossing out a peeping torn who hid under the bench in the women's change room. No big deal; my son thought it kind of funny, in a pathetic sort of way. An educational experience, as it were. It's a good job and almost all the customers are a pleasure to deal with. But none of this cx>m- pares to Mr. Zero's story. You see, Mr. Zero and wife, a timid little creature I'll call Minnie, were sitting in the hot tub. Minnie had the audacity to look up from the water, and Mr.. Zero took this as a direct affront to their solemn vows of marriage. He rebuktsd her for "looking at another man" — as though it was possible to avoid doing so in a public facility - struck her, and hauled her and daughter off to the family ciiang<2room.

Minnie doesnt look so good; she's bloody and bruised. And totally humiliated. Hie daughter is dutifully quiet. Minnie tells the attending constable that she has no complaint. Must have slipped and fallen, you know? Everyone knows different, but she wont press charges so the officer has no choice but to leave empty-handed. No disrespect to the officer; it must be a frustrating job. Perhaps a rap on Kim Campbell's knuckles for the lack-of-justice in this country. Still, the way I see it, my son — and everyone else present — experienced firsthand the feeling of powerlessness this woman must have felt, and probably new respect for that old saw about the law being an ass. I've never met Minnie; I don't even know what she looks like. But I'd like to wish her a merry Christmas and offer the hope that 1993 is better than '92. lost aycf fbnefy, poor ay J uuvgry, ^ aBuscS at}S vftsoxied.atiS tfyose ever$o confused <ff>ofs \tipolitics^ ofi,ofi, ok9 (€ hopz kfyeti to fyave a fapPft j°HouS HAVE A GREAT ONE EVERYBODY, 1 HOPS- THAT I BROUGHT A LITTLE LAUGrlTEZ INTO YOUR. LIFE letters to the editor | Equality, socialist style Don't tax information Editor, The Star, Sir, Thousands of Canadians, including many of your readers, have written to federal Finance Minister Don Mazankowski asking that the government remove the GST from reading materials and received a form letter in reply. In this letter, Mazankowski tells Canadians that "the traditional (federal tax) rate on reading is not zero," and claims that publishers paid the old Manufacturer's Sales Tax on a large number of items, including paper. Reading material was exempt from the MST at every stage of production, including the purchase of paper. A study conducted by Woods Gordon in 1988-89 found that the "accidental" MST paid by publishers amounted only to 0.9 to 1.5 percent. The finance department's Economic Analysis Unit reached the same conclusion, as did former finance minister Michael Wilson. The GST Consumer Information Office at Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada concluded last year that this very low level of "accidental" tax was not a significant factor in the price of reading material, and that the GST is therefore a brand new tax on reading. Either the minister is genuinely unaware of the facts regarding .the old tax, or the finance department is consciously distorting the facts because they cannot otherwise defend this government's actions in introducing the first federal tax in Canadian history to apply to reading material. The GST is the first federal tax ever to be collected on books, magazines and newspapers. In its first year, the GST caused Canadian sales of books to drop 10 percent, sales of magazines to drop 15 percent, and the largest drop in Canadian newspaper circulation in fifty years. The freef all continues in 1992. During the last recession and in the early pre-GST months of the current recession, sales of all reading material increased. We agree with the government's stated goals of improving Canadian education, increasing literacy levels, encouraging communication between Canadians and strengthening our shared culture. The prime minister took a stand in October 1990 when he promised to carefully review the tax on reading material after one year. It is essential that that review be undertaken'immediately, and that reading material be zero rated under the GST. JACQUELINE HUSHION The Don't Tax Reading Coalition Making beautiful music together Editor, The Star, Sir, Best wishes for a good year in 1993 and many thanks to the Aldergrove Star for helping to publicize our new Langley Community Chorus. We had a good response to our first concert on December 5 and we are looking forward to lots of great singing, under excellent leadership, in our 1993 program.

We are eager to increase our numbers, so singers in all voice parts, sopranos, altos, tenors and basses will be most welcome to come out and help us to make beautiful music together. R.S. McCREARY for Langley Community Chorus Editor, The Star, Sir, Perceptive readers will have noticed that whenever someone speaks in defence of traditional moral values the reply from NDP and like minded spokes persons is that these people are out of step with reality - they are dinosaurs. M.P. Benno Friesen was labelled so, when as a member of the Tory "Family Caucus" he defended the traditional family. The term dinosaur has been used several times by Svend Robinson as he slams those who oppose his objective to obtain "marriage" status for lesbians and homosexuals. NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin recently labeled the Conservative delegates in Alberta as having an 'out of touch mentality', for not electing a woman as Alberta premier. That the process was as open and democratic as one can get, was not decisive. The fact that a woman candidate lost to a man (in an honest fair leadership election) was NDP proof that those who did it were living in the past - dinosaurs. It seems that only the attainment of NDP goals (forced gender equity) is what matters. Equity, NDP style, is only achieved if their goal to obtain positions for feminist at any price is enhanced. However, if equity in the work place is applied (as in the case of Inco workers in Sudbury being offered alternative employment), then the National Action Committee on the Status of Women bitterly complains that- "Inco is condemning these women to the mines, and that is not the job they came to that company to do". An intriguing double standard is (championed NDP "employment equity" concept Instead of recognizing the traditional principles that equity can only work if the 'diversity in talent and physical ability* between male and female is taken into account, NDP and their supporters cry foul whenever it suits their fancy. This week the B.C. NDP government affirmed its bias once again by giving a $10,000 grant to the Lower Mainland Lesbian and Gay Benefits Society. All in the name of equity. As a CHP candidate I support my party's position that- all single interest groups should have their taxpayers' support reduced to zero. This transition, from being dependent on government handouts to proven viability by securing public support, should be achieved over a four year period. This will cushion the blow and minimize job loss. I assure you that those groups worthy of public support will get it, especially if proper tax deductible credits were allowed. Groups like the C.K.N.W. Orphan's fund and the Red Shield Appeal need not worry. I venture to predict that the Lesbian and Gay Benefits Society would be among the first to disappear. Let Canadians decide who deserves support, not NDP morals rammed down our throat at taxpayers' expense, lhat would be real equity. What the NDP calls equity is not worth a plugged Inco nickel, all it does is get us further in debt, both fiscally and morally. E. VANWOUDENBERG Appalling! Editor, The Star, Sir, Reducing the national debt by stealing from the unemployed is appalling. The Liberal and Conservative governments created the $450- billion federal debt with their high interest rate, high unemployment, and tax break policies for profitable corporations, lhe new mini-budget does not create jobs, does not tax large profitable corporations who pay no taxes, and does not address the high interest rate.

This week a local resident, John Standish brought the concerns before councilors. Environmental impact, possible flooding and drainage difficulties, hazard to fish habitation, loss of privacy for humans, parking obstacles and "aggravation to security" were but some of the problems listed by Standish. Criticizing the proposed trail system as "not up to snuff," Standish urged councilors "not to approve anything the way it is." Coun. Steve Ferguson said the delegate had "jumped the gun," and that public hearings in the area would be held before the township would go ahead with the recreation department's planned project. Standish was advised to have on-going consultations with the department to make sure that the plans would be acceptable to the neighborhood. Improving the economy? OTTAWA - After one year of studying the "prosperity initiative", the Tory government has released its blueprint for improving the national economy. The report says the Canadian business community is worried about the economy and unwilling to invest capital to create jobs. The action plan recommended by the committee will be along the line of cutting deficits and government bureaucracy. Committee claims that by cutting in these areas, there will be more support for the unemployed through training programs and an improved education system. Trade Minister Michael Wilson says Canadians recognize the changing world that they are living and working in, and that he believes the country will be ready for the initiatives in the strategy. Liberal MP Herb Gray says there is nothing new in the proposals. And the Canadian Labour Congress says the initiative is a $10-million waste of taxpayers' money that deserves to go straight to the dustbin.

DECEMBER 24. 1992 New organizer sees great challenge ahead ALDERGROVE - Ed Millman is looking forward to making things go better for local teens this coming year. He recently took over as program coordinator for the Aldergrove Boys' and Girls' Club, an organization mandated by the township of Langley to provide a wide range of leisure activities for youth here aged 13 to 18. Many of these activities are scheduled for the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre, as well as the special events that take teens out of the community. Other programs use the local school facilities, and some are held at the club office on Fraser Highway. Millman said his first challenge will be bringing volunteers on board to enlarge the range of programs offered. This would help open up the dub office more hours, and while volunteers must be 19 or over, there is lots of need for support volunteers under 19 years, too. Millman, originally from Kelowna, graduated from the Langara College recreational leadership program in '91. He married and the couple decided to stay on the coast. He's worked for Sportmart and the recreation departments at Burnaby and West Vancouver, before Langley hired him on Dec. 1. The Mill- mans moved to the Langley area j at the same time. He works with his Langley city countssrpart, Kathy Chapplow, to bring sensible activities to area youth. "The more help I have makes it a better learning experience for the kids because we can work with smaller groups. The adult volunteers get the opportunity to see that the youths are not all losers, there's some great kids in this community, and in this dub." The dub office, at suite 204 - 27115 Fraser Highway, hosts the Youth Impact Club drop-in nights on Tu«tsday and Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. There are Nintendo games, a pool and table tennis table and the opportunity to socialize.

Good luck! People should eat more bread TORONTO - Plug in your toasters and bring out your breadboards. The new version of Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating, just released after 10 years of research, recommends that we double our daily intake of bread and other grain products from three to five servings to five to 12 servings. "We have been waiting for this day for a long time," says Bakery Council of Canada president Linda Nagel. "Nutritionists and other health professionals have long recognized the nutritional value of bread and bread products. Hopefully, the new food guide will put an end to the general public's broadly - and wrongly - held belief that bread is fattening." THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

The turf at the stadium will be divided into five "mini" fields, and games will be played nonstop each day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mini-soccer is a scaled-down version of the game, played six-aside with a smaller ball, and smaller goals on a smaller field. The emphasis is not on winning, but on fair play and having fun. Mini soccer allows young players more contact with the ball and greater participation throughout the game, resulting in substantial improvement of their playing skills. This in turn increases their love and enjoyment of the game. A special mini-soccer coaching clinic will be held for all mini- soccer coaches, managers and parents prior to the start of the festival on Saturday, December 26 at 10 a.m. Tlie clinic will be conducted by B.C. Soccer Association technical director, Alan Chiuchard, and provincial team coaching staff. The clinic is free and opssn to the public. Canada Safeway has made it financially possible for the B.C. Youth Soccer Association to organize the Canada Safeway Mini-Soccer Festival since its inception in 1987.

Null and Void finished third in the mile pace for 4 year old colts and geldings. The race was originally scheduled for Saturday, but had to be moved to a non-betting event after Sunday's races when a huge snowstorm blanketed the Lower Mainland forcing the cancellation of Saturday's card. Already a winner of 8 previous races this year, Falcon Rich raced best on the lead but in the Mr. Vancouver this was going to be more difficult as he had to start from post 7. Undaunted by the outside, Ericsson gunned his horse to the lead off the start and alter an eighth of a mile on the outside of C. Leceddy was able to take command of the race. The pace of the race was a brisk one, but there were no challengers for Faicxai Rich until the field swung into the stretch. At this point Falcon Rich was tiring from his earlier efforts and only hung on for the wjn after constant urging from Ericsson. Trump Pare and driver Carl Sibiga saw their chances for victory compromised when they were forced to go four wide in the stretch drive and came up a head short at the wire.

The survey also demonstrated that most people felt current federal law banning such sales is ineffective. B.C. residents prefer a photo ID system, followed by fining stores and establishing a system of tobacco retail licenses to prevent tobacco sales to minors. There is equal interest both in an inspection system and in revoking the licenses of stores that break the law. In B.C., the survey indicated that parents: are primarily r«2sponsible for preventing tobacco sales to minors C71 percent), followed by stores (63 percent), governments (43 percent) and cigarette manufacturers percent).

VANCOUVER - BC Gas is working with Fraser Valley R.C.M.P. and Vancouver Police to apprehend a thief posing as a BC Gas service representative. The natural gas utility has received reports of a middle-aged man who has approached residential customers, informing them he is from BC Gas and that he has come to 'change thek meter*. He then insists there will be a small charge for this service, and.when the customer produces a purse or wallet, he steals it and quickly leaves. Ted Schellenberg, manager of external relations for BC Gas, said, "All of our service representatives carry proper identification and wear uniforms or coveralls with BC Gas insignia. If a customer is suspicious, they should ask for ID to be shown. As well, it should be noted that we do not require cash payment for services performed by BC Gas". Schellenberg pointed out that meter changes are normally scheduled with the customer by telephone in advance of a visit by BC Gas personnel. "If the customer is unsure," he said, "they should contact our local Service Centre at (604) 298-1400 for confirmation of the service call.

It's a classic David and Goliath struggle because B.C. lawyers The Army can help you warm up to Christmas ABBOTSFORD - The warmth of Christmas is truly permeating through our community as the big day gets closer. This is the time of year when the sensitivity of the needs of the less fortunate are most prevalent. As the Salvation Army, we strive to service these needs twdve months of the year through our various ministries such as the Meal Centre, Family Services Office for counselling, food vouchers and hampers, referrals to detox centres and drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. The public's assistance to help us with these and other programs has never been more important to us and those we are helping. At this time, we are only half way to our goal of $150,000. If you are able to share a gift to help us to help others, please drop it in one of our Christmas Ketdes or mail it to The Salvation Army, 33933 Cyril Street. A tax deductible receipt will be mailed to you. We are also in need of Christmas gifts for teens, ages 13-16. If you are able to purchase a gift (eg. clothing, tapes, gift certificates) for a teen, please ckop it by the office between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Lopushinsky proud of '92 LANGLEY - "City residents and taxpayers can look at 1992 as another good year", city Mayor Joe Lopushinsky says. "Something that 1 and the members of council are particularly happy about is the 1% reduction in city property taxes. I am sure that we all feel proud about this achievement especially in light of the federal and provincial down-loading (tax increases) on to municipalities." "Another significant achievement was the reconstruction of Al Anderson Memorial Pool in City Park. While this project cost in excess of $l-million there will be no debt considerations to be addressed," he said. "As a result of activities this year we can look forward to some exciting things to take place in 1993. We will see Kwanden College open in September. The new 5 IB Avenue bridge should be opening as well. There seems to be considerable momentum for a new Business Improvement Area in the downtown core. "In the history of our city, 1992 may serve to be one of our greatest years and certainly from a taxpayers' point of view," Mayor Lopushinsky concluded. currendy have a monopoly on the additional service notaries are after. A petition is being ckculated throughout B.C. asking Attorney General Colin Gabelmann to amend the Notaries Act so that notaries public can probate non- contentious wills and incorporate non-reporting companies. The training notaries currendy receive prepares them to offer the service, but lawyers are blocking efforts by notaries to change the law. Michael Carr, president of the society says a recent public opinion poll shows that almost two-thkds of people who have used a notary strongly agree that the profession should be allowed to expand its services to include probates and simple incorporations. The same poll showed a strong majority of people think notaries are well trained and educated. "It's really a matter of giving people a choice of service. Notaries have a long tradition of trust, and we think that in todays world, people have a right to shop around for the best value-for- money, be . it a lawyer or a notary," he said. Carr said his organization is also seeking to increase the legal number of notaries allowed in the province to 365 from the 322 allowed under the current Act. "B.C. is the fastest growing province in Canada. We also have over 300,000 people now working from home, which means tremendous demands for simple incorporations. All we are saying is that the law should be changed to reflect today's reality," he said. There are no legal limits on how many lawyers can practice in B.C. FIREPLACE SAFETY The fireplace may not be an Important supplier of heat in your home. In fact, it is often a source of energy loss, as it removes warmed combustion air from the home and sends it up the chimney. However, the fireplace is an important symbol of warmth, security and the value of close ties with home, family and friends. This is particularly true during the winter holiday season. The fireplace may seem a refuge. But if neglected or mistreated it can be a hazard - to health and safety. Here are some do's and don'ts in tending your fireplace this season - to keep it as a refuge and to avoid the hazards. DO'S • Have the chimney flue cleaned by a qualified person, once a year if frequent use is made of the fireplace. • Clean the firebox regularly. • Bum ony three pieces of dry wood at one time; hardwoods are preferred. • Close the firescreen when the fire is burning • If the fire is smokey, find out why; it isnt healthy to breathe in carbon monoxide eind other pollutants that are being released. • If glass doors are in use, make sure there is sufficient combustion air to permit the fire to bum cleanly. DONTS Don't put the Christmas tree near the fireplace Dont hang Christmas stockings directly above the fire. Dont't bum Christmas wrapping paper or trees in the fireplace. Don't bum charcoal, or flammable or combustible liquids such as oil, charcoal starters, gasoline or kerosene. Don't rely on a quick look up the chimney to determine whether the flue is clean.

She wouldn't go out before Christmas and buy some more because she said they were too expensive. Do you think this is fak to h«2r guests? When she comes to our house she stuffs herself with all the baking and buying I have done. Signed: Sick of greedy relatives. Dear Sick, Now, now, it's Christmas, a time for sharing what you have with others. Be nice and don't mention this to her until the fall of next year. Then gendy hint to her to put off her Christmas shopping until closer to the big day. She may take the hint. However, may you both, and your families, have a happy Christmas - and take your sister a box of your cookies. Dear Annabelle, Our house is chilly all the time in winter but my husband refuses to turn the thermostat up. "Put on a sweater!" he says. When the temperature drops to about -5C he just laughs, "put on another sweater!" One time B.C. Hycko cut off our powei because he hadn't paid the bill. He said we'd use candles for light and cook on the woodstove in the basement. "But we haven't got any firewood," I cried. "Ha-ha!" said he. "Go and chop down some trees - that's woman's work!" When there was a tremendous rainstorm and the roof started leaking he just laughed, ha-ha, and told me to wear a sou'wester and gumboots. He says he's saving money so he can go gambling in Las Vegas with his buddii2s. My question is: Is he being mean or am I selfish in my desire for a few humble comforts in my home? Signed: "Chilly Millie" Dear Millie, This man is not only cold blooded he is cold-hearted too. He might change his attitude though if you told him you were going to buy a fur coat to keep yourself warm. And while you are doing that order in two or three cords of wood (as advertised in the Star). That should get him heated up in short order. Good luck. ♦ ♦♦♦♦' Star readers are invited to mail in thek questions or problems to ASK ANNABELLE. Use a nom de plume if you wish. The address is ASK ANNABELLE, c/o Box 220, Aldergrove, B.C.

The report of the Task Force on Regional Land Use and Transportation Planning Mandates recommends that the GVRD board seek authority from the provincial government to adopt a regional strategic plan - a blueprint or vision for future development in the Greater Aluminum not cause LONDON - The link between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease that has led people to throw away aluminum pots and pans has been put in doubt by: new research. The study by an Oxford team of scientists suggests that traces of aluminum found in brain tissue from sufferers may have come from dyes used to stain the tissue for analysis. The scientists reported in Nature magazine that analysis of more than 200 samples of brain tissue failed to detect previously reported levels of aluminum. House prices up over last year VANCOUVER - The real estate market for residential property maintained a steady pace throughout the month of October, said British Columbia Real Estate Association president, Gary Brady. Slighdy over 9,000 residential properties were sold on the Multiple Listing Service in October. "In actual numbers, sales were 9,059 compared to 9,092 units in September." Brady also noted that, province-wide, house prices are, on average, 11 percent higher than the same period last year rising to $191,331 from $170,707.

David Chesney gjjiij CHIEF INSPECTOR Vancouver region. Task force chairperson and GVRD dkector Gordon Hogg said "The new mandate should complement and support municipal planning and zoning. Our focus would be on developing partnerships - or agreements - with other government bodies to achieve regional goals," Hogg said.

On a year to year comparison, the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board recorded the highest changes with a 26 percent average price increase. Selling prices rose to $134,463 from $98,8.30. In the Okanagan, the South Okanagan Real Estate Board posted a 21 percent gain with prices rising to $120,590 from $95,752. Brady noted that while the "average selling price" for a home can be distorted by a few properties selling at a higher or lower price, it does provide a reliable reflection of the market over a period of time. Aids on rise; gay men still top risk f| VICTORIA - After tailing off in 1990, the rate at which the deadly AIDS virus spread in B.C. increased last year, according to the latest results from the provincial government's sexually transmitted disease control branch. AIDS grew at an annually increasing rate from its first recorded appearance in 1983 for four years, then grew at a decreasing rate, and finally decreased its rate of spreading between 1989, when there were 221 -v:w cases, and 1990, when 220 new cases were reported. Now there is enough data for 1991 to report 229 new cases for the year. Ongoing statistics show that homosexual activity continues to be the predominant medium of transmission, involving 92 percent of the cases, with intravenous drug use and hemophiliacs covering another one percent each.

Director Bob Bose, chair- person of the GVRD's Development Services and Transportation Committee, said the GVRD is currendy developing a Livable Region Strategic Plan to guide future development in the region but has no clear power to adopt it. Wenman says aid too late OTTAWA - Late in the night of Dec. 7, in the House of Commons during a special debate, Robert Wenman, Fraser Valley West M.P addressed the need for aid to the people of Somalia. In his speech, Wenman recalled a 1980 visit to Somalia. "In 1980, 1 was made aware by the Somalia community of the crisis at that time. I got together with a non-governmental organization and we raised $200,000. We took them the food we had, powdered milk and they started pouring out of thek litde mud huts. They lined up 10,000 mothers and children, but we only had two trucks. That is all there was." Wenman asked C1DA in 1980 to do something for these people but was refused because Somalia was not a program country and the liberal government at the time refused to add Somalia to thek list. But today, 12 years later, the situation continues as no concrete action has yet been done to help these suffering people. "You know they were dying then and they are dying today... and they have died by the thousands ever since, and they will keep on dying," stated Wenman in a very emotional speech. "I urge that this is the beginning of an enlightenment, a recognition of the future of Somalia and the beginning of the planning for the development programs, the free market system, and so forth, and even democracy that can give hope to Somalia." Wenman supports immediate relief aid to the people of Somalia but is also concerned that the accomplishments that evolve as a result of the current relief effort, risk being annulled if long-term solutions are not considered.

DECEMBER 24. 1992 Clover truly in clover MURRAYVILLE - Councilors here Monday night changed a decision made one week earlier. They granted Clover Towing a contract with the municipality for three years rather than the two- year term they had decided on seven days earlier. Coun. Muriel Arnason said councilors obviously were "afraid of trying something new." She had spoken in favor of splitting the contract between the two contenders, Clover and Partel Towing on a rotational basis. Last week, the owner of Partel had approached council with a plea for reconsideration of the contract award. Frank VanHuet then managed to extract a promise from council that he would only have to wait another two years before his company would be considered, after he told councilors that other communities in the lower mainland awarded the contracts on a monthly rotation basis and that although he claimed to have been the low bidder, the contract had still been awarded to his competitor because Clover had held it in the past. This week, a recommendation to council from staff advised that the contract should be made valid for three years because those were the terms of the tendering process followed by both bidders. Otherwise, the report said, the municipality might have to seek new tenders. The current contract expires within a couple of weeks. It is said to be worth $2-million over a three-year period.

The report follows a review process headed by MLA Rick Kasper between July and November, which visited nine communities and brought out 1,300 members of the public. About 600 submissions were received. Anong reoormendations are the call for a mediation and dispute resolution committee, to resolve disputes and review pad rent increases, and that arbitration involving this committee would be paid for by the losing party. Also suggested are fines for violations of the Residential Tenancy Act rather than evictions. Other recommendations include requirement of one year's notice to homeowners and financial compensation of up to $10,000 for moving oosts if home parks are converted to other uses. Currendy, six months notice and six months rent are required. Also proposed is review of capital tax for co-operatively owned home parks and loan guarantees for creation of co-op parks, as well as development of available Crown land for home parks, and the extension of the SAFER program and Renters Tax Credit to eligible home owners. The Residential Tenancy Act should also be applied to home parks which are located on native land, without infringing on native self-government, said Sihota. Other legal steps recommended include a class action option for home owners, development of a plain language standard rental agreement for all parks and a review of security deposits. Lastiy, major legislation affecting manufactured homes should be consolidated under one ministry. Sihota said future legislative changes will be coordinated with the ministry of Municipal Affairs, Recreation and Housing, which has struck a provincial commission to address housing affordability.

Horse owners, grooms, trainers and people thinking of buying a horse will all benefit from the sound advice provided by Kwanden instructor and veterinarian Dr. J.S. Gilray. Focusing on four different aspects of horse-care, Gilray starts with "Basic Veterinary Care" on Thursday, January 21, 7:30 to 9=30 p.nx, at the Easdeigh Block, Itear - 20614 Easdeigh Crescent in Langley. The cost is $20. In addition to identifying common diseases and thek symptoms, Gilray says, "This •course makes people aware of the routine vaccinations, worming and dentistry programs that are needed to keep the horse healthy." The "Conformation and Lameness" course which follows Farmers confer LANGLEY - The eighth annual National Farmers' Direct Marketing Conference takes place in Portland, Oregon, January 28 to 30.

The session runs on Thursday, January 28, 7 to 10 p.m., at the Easdeigh Block, for $30. "Horses tend to be accident prone," he says. "They can step on a nail, twist a leg when jumping, or run into a wheelbarrow in the barn. Many things that happen to horses don't happen to other animals in terms of injuries and lameness. Yet horses must be fit because they are usually expected to carry someone." Fit also means giving your horse a proper diet - the focus of the third course called "Equine Nutrition". This session runs on Thursday, February 4, 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., at the Easdeigh Block. The cost is $20. "This is a discussion of recommended feeding practices as they relate to the work the horse is doing. Beginners will find that taking notes during this lecture will be far more advantageous than randomly picking up information through visits from the vet and conversations with other horse owners." "Fkst Aid for Your Horse" workshop is the final course. It runs on Thursday, February 11, 7 to 10 p.m., at the Kwanden College Farrier Shop, 5950 Glover Road, Langley. The cost is $30. Here, participants will learn the theory of emergency treatment as well as see practical demonstrations of bandaging and treatment of injuries. "This is definitely a self-help course," says Gilray. "We teach people how to cope in emergency situations as well as how to recognize when professional help is needed." Although none of these programs are intended to be substitute for the veterinarian, they are designed to help beginners avoid needless calls to the vet as well as unnecessary pitfalls and disasters. People are invited to participate in any one or all of the courses. The cost for attending all four classes is $95.

The retired couple are active in local activities such as the Aldergrove Veterans' Society and Players Bingo Hall. Al, who uses a motorized scooter, is also an advocate for improved pedestrian services in the Aldergrove community and continues to campaign for traffic lights at the 273 Street-Fraser Highway intersection. Hopefully, some of the politicians who sent greetings will heed Al's message. -Kurt Langmann photo A reason and season to be just plain happy By Rev. PAUL A. PHILLIPS, Pastor of Immanud Lutheran Church "Merry Christmas!" Eviaryone says "Merry Christmas" at this time of year. Whenever that greeting is used it carries with it the wish that those to whom it is spoken will be happy. But just saying the words "Merry Christmas" wont make you or anyone else happy. I cannot order you to have a merry Christmas. I cannot pay you to have a merry Christmas although many people feel that if enough gifts are given or received that happiness will be assured. Very simply, if you are going to be happy, you need a reason for that happiness. What is it that makes us happy in this blessed season? We think of all that comes to our house at Christmas. The cards and gifts bring with them a certain happiness. The realization that the family will come together also brings a certain happiness. Someone else is coming too. Do we always recognize him? How often do you see the manger scene, be it on T.V., in the mall, on Christmas cards. Each time we see that, it should be a reminder to us of the reason for Christmas joy. The one who comes is none other than God's own Son. God becomes man. Jesus came to Bethlehem to become part of our worid. He came to be our Savior and assure us that the victory over sin has been won. He came to do for us, what we ourselves could not do, make us right with God. He is the one who fought against sin and death for us, and joy of joys, He won the victory. There is the reason for our happiness at Christmas. It is found in the Babe of Bethlehem. In Christ, have a "Merry CHRISTmas!" Celebrate Rtf^ E_ III Christmas Eve Candlelight Service 7:30 p.m. Christmas Day Service 10:00 a.m. New Year's Eve Service 7:30 p.m. Immanuel Lutheran Church 3272 - 272 St., Aldergrove 856-4710 Cradle, cross and crown: greatest story ever told By MUN HOPE Nearly two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. The record of His life and His finished work became the greatest story ever told. It can be summarized briefly by three powerful words, which are still challenging the hearts of thinking men and women all over the worid, during this Holiday season. They are (1) the Cradle, (2) the Cross and (3) the Crown. First of all, the Cradle reminds us of Emmanuel, meaning "God with us." God came to this planet Earth personally in the very body of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even doubting Thomas recognized Him and acknowledged Him as "Lord and God." He was born in a stable and cradled in a manger. Secondly, the Cross is a very familiar symbol, being worn sometimes as an ornament, or used regularly in connection with some religious ceremony. • However, the true significance of the Cross of Calvary and the death of the Lord Jesus Christ for our sins needs to be personally understood and applied to each individual life. The aposde John tells the believer in no uncertain terms, that the "Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." This means that if a person becomes a believer, he is instantaneously made as clean and pure as the Lord Jesus Himself, as far as his personal standing before God is concerned. The very moment that a sinner sees his totally sinful condition; and acknowledges the Lord Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour and Lord, he becomes the possessor of eternal life as an outright gift from God. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23. Thirdly the Crown of thorns has long since been replaced by the Crown of Glory and Honour, after His bodily resurrection from the dead, and His ascension into Heaven. It is a reminder that the ifou... and LEES VJ 2431 CLEARBROOK RD 853-9192 work of the Lord Jesus was completed at Calvary; and that if there was any sin to be held against the believer, the Lord Jesus Christ could not have been raised from the dead. Think of the Cradle, the Cross and the Crown; and crown Him the lord of your life, and soul and all. It was the brilliant, affectionate physician Dr. Luke who gave us the first recorded words of the Lord Jesus Christ when he came to this earth. "How is it that ye sought me?" said the Lord Jesus, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" The good doctor faced storm, heat, cold, evil, and death itself to tend the sick and to pass on the inspiring message: "For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord." Such is the never ending story of the Cradle, the Cross and the Crown, in the lives and souls of a coundess number of believers. For further information, look up the passages in Luke 2:49, Luke 2:11, Acts 936 to 42, and Acts 16:14. Helping those in need Helping the needy have a better Christmas, Aldergrove Elks donated $500 to Aldergrove Food Bank volunteer Joy Clements last week. The Elks remind ail of us to pitch in and help the less fortunate over this cold season, and they also wish each and every one of us a merry Christmas and happy new year.

DECEMBER 24. 1992 Multi-million-dollar cut difficult for dairy farms OTTAWA - The latest cuts in the federal budget of $24-million to the dairy subsidy will create serious difficulties for many farmers. "We recognize the fact that fiscal restraint is forcing us to tighten our belts too, but the government could have chosen belter timing in light of the uncertainty surrounding the GATT negotiations" said Louis Bakaen, president of Dairy L Farmers of Canada. DFC is the national lobby group representing 31,000 milk and cream producers from across Canada. The dairy industry is cunendy examining all the challenges ahead because of changing consumer tastes and proposed changes to international trade rules. The next few years of transition will be critical to the evolution of the dairy industry, and we will need government support to effect these changes and create a more market- responsive and competitive industry. This is not a good time for the government to force us to do more with less", said Balcaen. Finance minister Don Mazankowski announced on December 2, 1992, that agricultural \fL subsidies would be cut back by 10% from their actual levels. The consumer subsidy, which was instituted to moderate the price that consumers pay for dairy products, will be cut from the current level of $6.03 per hectolitre to $5.43 per hectolitre for the next two federal fiscal years. Said Balcaen, "The amount of this consumer subsidy has not changed from $6.03 per hectolitre since it was implemented in the mid-1970s. Moreover, the subsidy has not contributed to the growing federal deficit as the actual amount paid to dairy producers has been decreasing since 1988, from a high of $286- million to the current $238- million". Officials from Agriculture L, minister Bill McKnight's office said that it will be up to the Canadian Dairy Commission to determine how to make the cuts over the next 28 months. The CDC is the crown corporation authorized to administer the direct payment to producers of. industrial milk, that which is made into products such as yogurt, cheese and ice cream. As a result of this reduction in the direct payment, the commission will have to raise, support prices so that producers can recover the $0.60 per hectolitre from the market place. The commission sets support prices for butter and skim milk powder, to provide a mechanism whereby producers can achieve the target price for their milk I The target price, also established by the CDC, is the price paid to efficient milk producers, to provide a return that will cover their labour, investment and cash costs in the production of industrial milk. Set annually on August 1 and revised each February if necessary, the target price has increased only 9 percent since 1985, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all items purchased by consumers has climbed by 32 percent over this same period. "The returns paid to dairy producers have risen more slowly than the CPI for the last seven years. Combine this with the annual quota cuts in MSQ and we have a serious situation for producers of industrial milk," concluded Balcaen.

The 169 unit project, comprising five apartment buildings and a community hall, will only take up 22 percent of the eight acre area, nesded along Bertrand Creek in the town core. The residents will have free access to over six acres of secure common area, whicii includes the small, but fish-spawning Willow Creek,' and lush landscaping. The project has been on the backburner for a couple years, but landowner Sylvia Achtem and Quorum Construction head, Roberto Bosa have decided that this is the right time for a quality project to get into high gear. Project spokesman Allan Achtem says there has already been healthy interest from prospective buyers who have visited the site trailer at 27358 - 32 Avenue. Although the group has not y«2t put the development in the hands of realtors for marketing, they are prepared to sell some of the first phase of 27 units at a four percent discount on the average $138,000 price range. Achtem emphasizes the quality construction that the Bosa family is known for, as well as the quality of the plans that have been drawn for the entire 1 1 Allan Achtem says there's a lot of buyer interest in the long-awaited Willowcreek Estates project, an adults-only apartment condominium complex just east of Aldergrove Mall.

He said his wife, Sylvia chose the west coast Victorian theme that will embrace the entire development. Convenience is also a feature, as Willowcreek is adjacent to Aldergrove Mall and near to all services such as medical and dental offices.

Superior soundproofing designs are used throughout, too. RV and guest vehicle parking will also be available outdoors. Each apartment building will have three storeys, with each two or three bedroom unit on its own floor, and offers elevators as well as stairs. Spacious balconies will augment the fine views that each unit is designed to provide. As well as the common recreation centre, each building offers its own common recreation area on eacdti floor. Achtem points out that only quality wood is used in construction, including exterior sheathing that's only , plywoocfe not pressboard, ahd first quality studs. "We're giving our buyers the very best we can provide," said Achtem. Vinyl siding and brick-accent heritage window trim, along with double-glazed windows, complete the quality that will be visible from the outside. The interior quality will be the best, too. With designer selected materials throughout, spacious kitchois with European cabinetry, five appliances, vertic_d blinds, gas fireplace with mande, and even polished brass levered door handles, each home will be a showcase. Achtem said their showcase suite will be open shortly, as the fair weather has enabled the project to be on-time and within budget.

"Currently, businesses have to deal separately with several different components of Revenue Canada: GST, Income Tax, Excise and Customs," said Jelinek. "Dovetailing these separate components of Revenue Canada into one will cut red tape, overlap and duplication, reduce compliance burden and generate savings that will be measured in tons of paper and millions of dollars for business." Speaking here to the Canadian Importers Association and later to the Canadian Tax Foundation, Jelinek outlined the government's New Business Relationship Initiative which he had announced on September 16. Plan consists of an eight-point program to streamline the revenue administration and includes the following proposals: * an integrated approach to GST, Income Tax and source deduction audits; * improved accessibility through 130 offices of Customs, Taxation and GST/Excise across Canada to obtain information, make payments and acquire forms; * a single registration number for businesses when dealing with Revenue Canada and eventually with any department of the federal government; * enabling businesses to make a single remittance for GST, Customs and Income Tax; Obituaries * JOHNSON , Ralph Carlyie passed away December l6th, 1992 at the age of 86 years.

"Everybody's equal," is the political cry. That simply isn't true. Our own caste system may be the cause of our decline in the new world order. Consider how we view people by job classification. The factory sweeper is 'common labor' and gets paid minimum wage or close to it. Guys and gals on the factory floor are 'blue-collar workers' paid by the hour. Office workers are 'white or pink collar' and receive a fixed salary. Engineers and computer programmers are classified as 'nerds'. Without any of the above the operation would quickly come to a halt, yet that vision doesn't seem to penetrate management. They see that work force as flexible, meaning the quantity of that work force can be increased or decreased as demand requires. Much like increasing or decreasing the plant's electrical power requirements. This effect on attitude is disastrous. In many ivory towers in North America it is more lucrative, and long-lasting to move into management, finance or marketing. And, increasingly the best minds have been traveling in that direction. It wasn't always thus: During America's best times - the period of the 1950s and 1960s, veterans from World War II, in many instances, chose engineering. A victorious nation rewarded them by plowing vast sums into educational opportunities that created the training level that gave the cream of the survivors opportunities never before available. What they produced in innovative products and systems not just on earth with unmatched highways systems, but also in the air and space beyond, was directly attributable to that investment in the new education of the day. It provided the intellectual thrust that propelled the mechanical/- industrial age into their new-term future. Anywhere in North America today there are more lawyers, confronting, delaying, obstructing, litigating and destroying what that earlier group built up than there are engineers trying to jump start today's after-burner. When there are more lawyers than engineers in any sizable political district you can expect more trouble than triumph. And that's what we are reaping from what we have created. When a lawyer can pull in an annual salary of $200,000, that role model image can't help but affect young high school students considering. Imagine those power lunches, classy office space, pretty secretaries, Corporate Mercedes, partnership bonuses, unlimited expense accounts, and what up to now has appeared to be a more socially acceptable pedestal. An environment ruled by the "precedent of the past", that resists new intellectual thinking and where the heaviest physical thing ever lifted is the phone or an American Express card. How does that look compared to using your brain to penetrate the. unknown, create the new and actually getting your hands dirty? And working in merely adequate operational quarters and being paid the 'industry standard'. North America is now paying, and paying dearly, for this economic caste system. Management raised in'such a system forces engineers and designers to listen more to marketing forces than creative ones, more to bottom line results for the next quarter than to long- term success and survival of their company. Dumb. With proper social incentives and availability of training, that floor sweeper can come up with another $7-billion idea equal to the one Apple founders Steve Jobs_ and Steve Wozniak developed with just a garage and $500. Are any North American companies seeing the world through this type of visionary eyes? A few. I wrote a year ago about the Weyerhaeuser Corporation plant in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan that have introduced the "fifth shift" system. One week out of five, a shift of the entire production labor force attends in-house classes to update training, not just for their present job or the next one they may be promoted to, but also the one after that. Wait until their competition feels the results of that investment. It is done in- house because no scholastic institution has the latest equipment to train such workers for the new fields this company is moving into. Another is EDS (Electronic Data Systems) soon to be ensconced in third millennium- style headquarters in Piano, Texas. They are already spending $100-million a year in training and retraining. Do you really think they are going to have any substantial competition with what that trained workforce will be able to accomplish? Already they can balance 5-4-billion checking accounts in one second. And they can handle the communications section of any business - anywhere in the world - from Piano, Texas. Think that isn't going to downsize some industries? By remote control? Try to stick around. Another new game has just begun. Guinea pigs misunderstood LONDON - Guinea pigs, small furry animals synonymous with experimentation, suffer from a bad case of mistaken identity and are not suitable for medical research, scientists say. They should be of more interest to children as pets or even to gourmets as a delicacy because, some say, they taste better than beef. "The guinea pig is a living fossil, a survivor of a world that existed 100 million years ago," says Dr. Dan Graur, an Israeli zoologist at Tel Aviv University.

DECEMBER 24. 1992 27 .This remarkable site, 34 square miles (22,000 acres) of the Kootenay Valley, including the 8,000 foot Mount Broadwood, is the largest land donation in Canada's history. Shell Canada Ltd. gave the title to Nature Conservancy Canada, an organization dedicated to acquiring and preserving wildlands. The B.C. government will act as protective custodians under a longterm lease, and the land will be known as the Mount Broadwood Heritage Conservation Area. This area contains diverse and abundant large animal species, including grizzly and black bear, wolves, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, cougar, mule ahd whitetailed deer and elk. Crestbrook Forest Industries Ltd., which owns timber harvesting rights to the forested areas of the park, have also reached an agreement for sustainable forest programs with the conservancy. The conservancy has created more than 450 nature preserves in Canada, amounting to 110,000 acres worth more than $450-million. The fast growing organization'more than doubled 1991's contributions this year for a "92 total of $4.75-million to work to protect the environment Shell has made numerous cash and land donations to the conservancy over recent years, and is currently determining the fate of another 175,000 acres in southeast B.C. Education needed, says auditor-general VANCOUVER - The federal government should heed the advice of Canada's auditor- general and consider ways of helping citizens understand the nation's deficit and debt. "He's dead-on," the president of the Certified General Accountants Association, Ronald Bourque said, reacting to Denis Desautels' report. "I think it is essential that Canadians know about the financial state of their country in the clearest way possible. Each of us is literally a shareholder in this vast nation and we should be aware of the level of debt we owe and where our taxes are spent," Bourque said. "As the management group of what is effectively Canada's largest company, the federal government should ensure that understandable financial information and its implications for the future is released regularly." The federal deficit could run $7-billioh over target this year which will further compromise the government's ability to deal with the economic dislocation of the recession, Bourque said. 9-1-1 now in 140 languages BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District has operated the 9-1-1 emergency telephone system in the lower mainland for last two and a half years. In order to extend 9-1-1 service to all residents of the area, 9-1-1 now subscribes to the AT&T Language Line Translation Service. With the introduction of this service, 9-1-1 c»U Inkers have access to translation service in over 140 languages. In the two months the translation ss^rvice has been in oper- ation, over 100 calls have been placed involving 18 different languages - Cantonese, Czech, Farsi, French, Greek, Hindi, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Tagalog, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Callers should identify the language they speak, in English, to the 9-1-1 operator. Otherwise, determining the caller's language can be a lengthy process, and delays can be costly in emergency situations. It takes an average of one minute to bring a translator online with a 9-1-1 call. Callers must know to stay on the line while the translator is conferenced in. Once the interpreter is connected, the caller will be asked specific questions about their emergency. In most cases another emergency service J^dispateh centre will also be brought in to the call. It is important for callers to stay on the line and answer all of the interpreter's questions. While it is difficult to remember, being patient is the best way to get help in an emergency. Dial 9-1-1 and help will come - in any language. And that's a plan? Seriously? By DAVE McGOWAN Mr. Mastercosdy has presented yet another plan to save Canadians from the collapsing economy. He admits that previous programs from his department have not been good enough. But he does not acknowledge the fact that the economic difficulties were created by Ottawa and the financial institutions that it has chartered as banks. He appears to be trying to arrange it so that the mistakes of the past are paid for, but not by those who made them. Not that the plan is a complete waste of time as one has come to expect from most everything presented by Canada's parliament. There is a small acknowledgement of the contribution that small business can make to economic growth. Small businesses pay almost all of the corporate taxes that are collected, and supply about 75 percent of the Canadian employment opportunities. It's quite • apparent that Mr. Mastercostly's relief for small business does not approach remuneration for their level of contribution. Ottawa's financial programs have not been effective enough. They have managed to increase taxes on Canadians, greatly decrease the number of people working and paying taxes, and increase government spending to the point that they have increased' the national debt by many more billions of dollars. At the same time as they have been spending all this money, they have managed to decrease the social services that government spending is supposed to finance. Saying that their programs have not been as effective as expected is either a gargantuan understatement or an admission that their original expectations were nothing but a big dream. It shouldn't be difficult for them to understand why the social programs are in trouble. They have increased the money spent on direction of these programs (primarily to ensure that money isn't misdirected, they claim), which expkinsGjyhere all the extra money is going. Meanwhile, the p«2ople have been working in these programs for many years and know what it takes to operate them have been receiving -less each year. Instead of acknowledging this, and lopping off the ineffective heads of thes^departments, or at least reducing their size (there are two meanings there if you're paying attention), Ottawa has chosen a different course^fhey have chosen to leave the top- heavy administration of nonproductive drones in place and reduce benefits. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of unemployment insurance that has not been fulfilling its mandate for some time (or its mandate has been changed on a regular basis), and has now been rendered practically useless. If a program isn't doing its job, perhaps it would be more effective to do away with it. Take all the money that it has collected, and all the money budgeted for its operation and put it in welfare. That's where everyone will be applying, anyway. Yes, average Canadians have to get over the idea that they are entitled to a free ride. Yes, we all have to learn that we cannot receive eight hours pay for three hours work. Yes, we all have to take responsibility for a nationwide decrease in production and increase in expense. And we also have to accept some of the responsibility for the gigantic Canadian debt because we voted these bozos into office. Someone did, anyway! However, we have already been paying. In the past two years the average Canadian's income has decreased by 28 percent. Many have lost their income, and those who didn't have not received raises despite increased costs. At the same time thenlihas been an increase in taxes to pay for programs that few agree with Also at the same time, political leaders and senior civil servants have had fat increases. Mr. Mastercostly has announced that these individuals, plus all the civil servants who work on the bottom of the pile will be subject to a two-y&Sr wage freeze. Nowhere did he mention a 28 percent decrease in their incomes to put them in line with the rest of Canada. Since they have been realizing benefits for several years while other Canadians realized reductions, perhaps the cut in their incomes should be larger than 28 percent? Perhaps, since they are the people most responsible for our problems, they should be the ones to pay for their mistakes? If we reduced their incomes and grossly overinflated pension benefits by 40 percent, how many billions could we collect before the end of 1993? If we reduced their incomes by 75 percent, how long would it take them to get some idea of what it's like out here in the real world? Junior, you're safe with me By MICHAEL WYCKS What to make of Prime Minister Mulroney's decision to scrap a cost-saving plan to eliminate junior ministers? Secretary of State Robert de Cotret recently presented Mulroney with a 200-page report on trimming government spending. It proposed that Mulroney reduce his 39-member cabinet by the 12 ministers of state - low ranking ministers with minor portfolios. For his part, Mulroney has been clamoring lately for greater efforts at deficit reduction: "Now is the time to give up the battle on deficit reduction," the PM has exclaimed, while promising to cut spending even further. Before exploring the prime minister's reasoning behind his decision, there are facts which, need clarification: junior ministers have a staff which includes an executive assistant, a senior policy adviser, a legislative assistant, a scheduling assistant, a correspondence assistant, a constituency assistant and a personal secretary. Cabinet ministers earn $140,800 a year, almost $30,000 of which is tax free in the form of expense allowances. They also get another $2,000 car allowance annually, even though they all have chauffeur-driven cars. As any taxpayer can plainly see, junior ministers and their entourages dont come cheap. If Mulroney is so concerned with the ballooning deficit, why did he leave the junior ministers alone? Let's consider the possibilities: * Mulroney so appreciates the contributions these ministers have made that he refuses to bow to pressure coming not only from the Canadian people but from members of his own party to do away with the posts; * No matter what Mulroney said or did, he could not wean the 12 ministers from the public trough. He wasn't able to curtail their appetite for perks, privilege and power; * The Tories think their junior ministers stand a better chance of winning in the next election than do ordinary MPs. A minister is expected to not only get reelected, but to help protect any fellow party MP in the neighboring riding. In other words, if a junior ministry is cut, it could be cost efficient but bad politics. When that is the case, politics usually wins out; * Mulroney can't remember what it's like to be popular and has simply forgotten what to do to become popular. The truth is undoubtedly a mix of some or ail of these explanations. Only the prime minister knows for sure. What is evident is that by leaving his junior ministers in their cushy jobs while the deficit mounts, Mulroney has reinforced the cynicism felt by Canadians for politics in general, and for his leadership in particular. 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. DECEMBER 24. 1992 On December 7, BC TEL announced a proposed expansion of local calling service in the Lower Mainland. This proposal will be submitted to the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) by the end of the year. It would allow customers throughout the Lower Mainland — from Bowen Island to Abbotsford and Mission — to call each other without incurring long distance charges. If approved, our plan could be implemented as early as November, 1993. This proposal is a response to our customers' demands for a simpler, more consistent and more equitable local calling structure. In fact, we have been working on the issue of expanded local calling for the past 5 years. Our first proposal was made to the CRTC in 1988, but it was found unacceptable at that time. Since then, we have consulted with our customers, Lower Mainland municipalities and Chambers of Commerce to help us refine and improve our plan. Here is how it would work: the Lower Mainland region from Bowen Island to Abbotsford and Mission would become one toll-free calling area. Meaning that you would be able to call anywhere within the area for your monthly residential or business rate. All long distance charges for calls within the area would be eliminated. To replace the current 21 exchanges and 11 different rate groups, we are proposing 4 zones, each paying different monthly rates. These monthly rates would increase the further you are located from the core zone of Vancouver I Burnaby I New Westminster. As you would expect, there are significant costs associated with providing this expanded service. We anticipate calling volume to increase 200 to 600 percent. Network equipment and software must be expanded. In return for this expanded service, monthly charges for service would 'increase. The table and zone map detail Let's talk toll-free. these changes. You will note that the largest price increases will occur in zone 4 areas. This is because customers in these friends, family, businesses and customers to stay in touch with each other, and gain access to information, goods and services. We want to know what you think. Since our proposal was announced in the media on December 7, we have fielded hundreds of calls. We have established a toll-free line to listen to your comments and answer any questions that you may have. We hope to hear from many more of you in the coming months. □ M :'J y.-^ptZT.V=4Z' >' M'Si y:i:::i'y BOWEN (ZONE 3) Single Line Single J Line Res. Bus.

The population of the Lower Mainland is anticipated to grow near to 3 million in the next 25 years, and push further into the Fraser Valley. With expanded local calling, it will be easier for More important, we encourage you to submit your comments to the CRTC, in writing, with a copy to BC TEL.
