^i^^^M^-s^ -!i?y'' '-^^:fc::-' r^''^;^^^y^^ ^^-- -VSr-i^' ssrr-^pss THEATRE LEFT IN LIMBO Arts centre proposal has no'culture' By KURT LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE - Township council unveiled its long-awaited Cultural Centre Task Force report, Monday, and the centre has no culture. The proposed $8.3-mil- lion first phase of the $36,189,158 total project provides space for Langley Community Music School, a recital hall/council chamber, library information centre, community meeting room, cafe and municipal office facilities, as well as infrastructure such as roads and parking. Additional municipal office space for $1.8- million is an option offered which would bring phase one's price tag up to $10.1-million. The theatre (or theatres) desired by so many in the community has been put off to tlie second phase. Tbe report included two dissenting, if not withering, "minority reports" by commissioners Mark Bakken and Horst Jasmann, which pointed out that the first phase did not meet the task force's mandate of being "economically and politically supportable... In short, the cultural content of the first phase is lacking." Bakken said the "rapid implementation of a theatre" in phase two should be the true priority, but, "we are left to attempt to justify a first phase without a significant cultural component beyond that of the music school. The result is to risk the entire cultural centre project for the greater objective of completing the Murrayville civic core." Jasmann goes further, suggesting that inclusion of the music school "is a mistake" as its 750 students make up less than one percent of the population and at least 30 percent don't reside in the township. 'The facility should be anchored around performing and visual arts -- not students and teachers, not commercial interests, not the comfort of municipal employees — and should be accessible to the entire population." Both Bakken and Jasmann said a medium-sized theatre, seating 400-500, and costing $5- to $6- million would be the "most cost effective and viable concept in light of the crying need for such a facility." Bakken said this, along with the music school and utilities/services would bring the total cost to the $10-to $12-million range. Jasmann, a theatrical promoter, said the 150-seat recital hall was not financially sustainable for productions, and Bakken said possible negative public reaction to the task force's proposal jeopardizes the chances that the theatre phase would ever be built. Task force chair, John Campbell delivered die report to council, noting that the township has "the dollars, your reserves are good, and you have tlie land." He said tlie public open house, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 28 from 2 to 10 p.m. at Blair Centre, will gauge the taxpayers' response: "It is their money." However, while Campbell did not directly refer to Bakken and Jasmann other than noting that there was adverse reaction to non-cultural facilities, he did say that related projects in Abbotsford and Surrey which the task force toured were "too small... a little of everydiing is a mistake in the longterm." The report's financial strategy suggest that each phase be limited to about $10-mi 11 ion, and that $3- million has been set aside for the first phase cost of $8.3-milIion. The balance would come from sale of $3.3-million worth of municipal lands, current capital surplus and internal borrowing from the township's Capital Reserve Fund. Additional funds could come from donations and sponsorships, as well as private financing. Gross operating and maintenance costs of phase one were pegged at $306,000 per year. The task force said the second phase plans are still underway, pending further meetings this month, but suggest that a performance theatre and national exhibition centre would total $9.1-million, plus utilities and services. This could be funded through sale of another $6.3-million of town ship land next to the hospital, revenues from a parkade, corporate and community donations and sponsorship, borrowing and/or capital reserves. The report notes "there is presently $4-million in the Capital Reserve Fund that is not allocated to any project and that the township currently contributes about $3.8-million per year to die Capital Reserve Fund." Campbell introduced three del egates: longtime arts proponent Norm Severide, On Stage Langley president Pat Mugridge and township parks and recreation chair Audrey Wright. Severide gave a historical overview of 25 years of frustrated effort toward a cultural centre, asking that "the modest proposal put forward tonight not be another missed opportunity." Mugridge said On Stage's man- Please see page 13...

ALDERGROVE - A young family man, who recently bought a "starter home" here, pleaded with township council for relaxation of its secondary suite bylaw, to no avail. Robert Nedokis said he couldn't understand why bylaw enforcement officers picked on Plant saga awaits court decision By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Joe Sangha, owner of Canadian Pallet Inc., says that as of last Friday he has not received a ticket from the city for noise by law infractions, not had a surprise visit from the Worker's Compensation Board, and still has power. Last week council decided to take action and attempt to get an injunction against Canadian Pallet to stop work until the court case between the company and the city can be resolved. Richard Danzinger, Director of Development Services for the city, said that no action has taken place because council is awaiting legal advjee. The situation goes- back to Matsqui Council who tried to take legal action to have Canadian Pallet stop work over a year ago, but Sangha's lawyer, Jack Cram, was disbarred while working on the case, causing major delays. Sang ha has a new lawyer and the case will go to court in February. At issue is the noise and dust created by the plant, and its illegal operation. Tlie property on Fraser Highway is not zoned for the type of business being done. Neighbouring residents, who have written many letters to council and the Mayor, appeared at last week's meeting to reiterate their complaints and ask what is being done. At the meeting council voted to ticket the company $100 per day they are in violation of municipal noise bylaws, communicate with B.C. Hydro about having the power shut off, and have the WCB out to inspect the site, after seeking legal advice. "Sangha said he doesn't know why WCB would be interested in inspecting his facilities because of this. "We operate a legitimate business and WCB has known about us for the last eight years. We cannot operate otherwise." There have also been reports of workers urinating outside, and accusations from the neighbours that there are no washroom facilities on site. Canadian Pallet receptionist Rhonda Ballance said the company does have washrooms, and she added that she wouldn't work there otherwise. Sangha's biggest concern however is the company's 60 workers, all of whom would be out of work if the company is forced to shut down. "It would be really easy for us to move the company south of the border, but that would take away the jobs here, and we don't want to do that," he said. The neighbours disagree saying he told them it would be easier for them to move than for him. They also say that Sangha has Please see page 16... him "when every second or third house on my street has a secondary suite" and added that an order issued against his home placed him in jeopardy of foreclosure by his bank and cancellation of insurance by his broker. He said the house was built by speculators, like others everywhere, to have a rental suite in the basement, and that it was advertised as such when he went looking for a home his family could afford. "Abbotsford, Surrey and Vancouver have accepted it as a fact of life, and the traffic, sewer and water are established uses. It fits in the community to allow secondary suites," said Nedokis. He added that he talked to other homeowners on the street who rented out suites or otherwise sympathized, but none wanted to come forward because "of the Big Brother syndrome." His tenant, Karen Guthrie said that as a young single mother without support payments and earning minimum wage, she had re? 0 » no alternative to Nedokis' "affordable, secure housing" as the legal multi-family rental accommodations were "substandard and not affordable.

Registration begins at 6:30 pm, with tlie evening formally running from 7 to 10 pm. The seminar will be a collaborative effort between stewardship groups, educators and government agencies from both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, to develop a system-based watershed plan not limited by international boundaries. Bertrand Creek will be used as a model, as it extends from Aldergrove into Washington Slate and is an important tributary within the Nooksack watershed. "This will be an excellent opportunity to make contact with other groups and individuals involved with stream stewardship.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, SEPTEMBER 13,1995 High school students embark on vendetta Waiting for the big pumpkin... Bob Coutts watches the activity of the Fall Fair in Aldergrove Centre Mall. -Tim Attwood photo. 13-year-old on the run By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Police are playing down the idea of a 'gang' incident that happened at Aldergrove Community Secondary on the first day of classes, but do say that a few youths from Abbotsford did get into an altercation with a few local youths. A group of about eight Abbotsford youths attempted to register at the school but were met by a group of Aldergrove youths who tried to intimidate them. Constable Al Wakelin of the Aldergrove RCMP said that the bad blood relates to a vehicle that had been broken into a few days before. He stressed that the kids involved, all young offenders known to police, are not average kids. "This is not a 'gang' incident and there are only about six kids per side involved in the issue," he said, " Although it would be easy at the high school level for other kids to get involved who really shouldn't" After an altercation inside the school, which saw the out of district kids not allowed to register and two Aldergrove kids suspended for the day, the Abbotsford youths waited in the parking lot for school to let out At that time, in front of everyone in the parking lot including other students and parents, the three kids that were waiting in a Prelude were attacked, $2,000 damage was done to the car, and two girls were threatened with a knife. Later the same day, the youths !'nni Abbotsford returned to a residence of one of the youths involved with the car trashing incident, and smashed house windows and damaged tlie car. Rumour has it that the victim's older brother's friends were getting ready to retaliate again, and Wakelin said it has to stop now with the perpetrators of these crimes being punished. He said that charges will be laid pending further investigation which is dependent on witnesses coming forward, making statements and possibly testifying. "I am at the school every day," he said, "and I take a zero tolerance to violence at the school. "I want to show the kids that if they participate in this type of incident they have to be responsible and pay the price, but without wiuiesses coming forward I can't arrest anyone." "I would like the parents of the community, who witnessed this incident, to come forward, show the kids how to be responsible, and let the bullies know that they won't be tolerated. "This is a good school with few problems, and I'm glad it's the beginning of the year, so we can show right away that diis type of behaviour will not be tolerated. "The only problem I have is that I can't arrest anyone without information and sworn statements." Wakelin can be reached at the Aldergrove Community policing station 856-7386. Legacy Carpets Ltd.

The proposal submitted Monday night is a recipe for disaster. If council goes along with it, taxpayers are going to hit the roof when they see $8.3-million spent on primarily non-cultural facilities in a so-cailcd cultural project. They'll toss out councillors at next fall's election and the new council will feci obliged to kill the second phase, which is the true cultural centre desires of the community: a theatre or two. I'm not arguing against servicing costs such as roads and parking — those are a given. I'm not arguing against providing facilities for the music school, although I maintain that a revenue agreement with the non-profit society would make a world of difference in selling the concept to taxpayers who can't understand why LCMS should have state of tlie art facilities rent- and tax-free. But die rest of it should be put on the back- burner for phase two or three, leaving phase one sufficient capital for building a quality theatre widi seats for at least 500 — minimum. This is what people have been campaigning for, and once it's built it will be the flagship that donors and sponsors will rally around (both Ford and General Motors paid good money to have their name on Vancouver's two newest facilities). The 150-seat recital hall/council chambers might be nice -- council meetings are often overcrowded — but it's not big enough to attract promoters, professional or otherwise, who are interested in making money, which should be the primary aim. Let's get real before it's too late. Law must apply to all alike By JACK WBSGERBER The standoff between the. RCMP and heavily armed natives, who are illegally occupying private property at Gustafsen Lake near Williams Lake, is one more striking demonstration of the necessity of treating all Canadians equally under the law. This small group of militant native people has been in trespass on private ranch property for several months and has resisted all efforts by authorities to be removed. Earlier in June, I was advised that a shot had been fired at a Forest Service employee (George Ostoforoff) while he was inspect ing trees in the Gustafsen Lake area. On June 21, my colleague Len Fox (MLA Prince George- Omineca) raised the issue in the Legislature with questions to then attorney General Colin Gabelmann. The BC Reform MLA questioned, "Can the Attorney General explain why the RCMP has refused to allow Mr. Ostoforoff to press formal charges as he has requested?" Len Fox further observed that • "It's a sad day when a government employee is actually shot at, presumably by militant natives, and the RCMP doesn't lift a finger." Mr. Gabelmann replied diat Horror stories are all around us Editor, The Star, Sir, The daily papers were filled with horror stories last week, especially the one of the murdered 10 year-old girl, Melissa Deley. Another story that appeared, and was probably missed by many, was that of a 24 year-old prosu- tute whose body was found in Agassiz. Society tends to view prostitutes as being about as valuable as insects crawling the ground. This is a rather shortsighted view. A prostitute is a walking wounded. Something has happened in that person's life to produce aivery unhappy person unable to cope with the stresses life brings. Tammy Lee Pipe was die girl found in Agassiz. So what, you may say. Once upon a time, this girl laughed and played, with friends, with dolls, and with relatives and family members. She was once a sweet young child. Sadly, as she grew up, life lost its joy and excitement for her. We don't know what started her on the road to ruin, but she met a tragic and brutal end. The end of her life does not mean that she didn't matter. She left behind a sister she grew up with, who bravely masterminded final arrangements despite her deep grief. Tammy also left behind parents, step-parents, grandparents, No respect for private property Editor, The Star, Sir, On September 7 between. 3:30 to 4 pm, two young boys (ages anywhere between 8 and 11) were acting somewhat suspiciously going among the cars parked in the Aldergrove Safeway parking lot. Mine was one beside which they were standing and facing when I returned to my car. Unfortunately, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and did not bother to inspect my car - but, upon arriving home, I noticed' the hood emblem on my three-month- old Buick had disappeared.' The boys probably think it's "fun" to "collect souvenirs," but this is neither "funny" nor is it a' "childish prank". What, tfiey did was steal and deface private property. If you have a child who "collects", think seriously about checking his collection. This particular type of act, in itself, is not that serious, but it is theft and it should be stopped before it grows into something bigger. Teach your children to respect other people's property and other people's rights. Ironically, I work for a society that advocates for the rights of children and youth! S.HALL Aldergrove aunts, uncles, step-siblings, friends and relatives. She mattered to these people, she was not a nothing! Her memory will live in the hearts and minds of those who loved her. The next time you see a prostitute, don't walk by with an air of moral superiority. That could have been you or your child. Think of how you can help that sad life. Support diose organizations that work with hookers and street people. "Judge not, lest ye be judged," the Bible says. Have compassion and help in whatever way you can. Let's make the world a better place. ERNIE JANTZEN Aldergrove More letters, page 6 The Aldergrove Star invites letters to die editor on topics of interest to the community.

Submissions must include a written signature. he had spoken to the police and that "They are on top of the situation, and if I have information that will be useful to the House, I will provide it in due course." Unfortunately, no further explanation was ever offered by the Attorney General. Had this incident involved non-natives, in trespass on private land, firing shots at a Forest Service employee, I believe police action would have been swift and decisive. The Attorney General would have undoubtedly supported criminal charges and the persons responsible would have been prosecuted. Exactly the same process and standard of immediate justice should have applied to the "thugs" that are involved at Gustafsen Lake, regardless of race or any other ethnic considerations. My real concern is that the failure to act in June has resulted in a far more difficult and dangerous situation today. The original group of trespassers has reportedly been joined by natives from Oka (a Six Nations flag is now being flown at the camp) and the United States, along with a number of non-native sympathizers. These "terrorists" are reported to have a number of illegal weapons including automatic pistols, and AK47 rifles loaded with Black Talon bullets (designed to inflict maximum damage to human tissue). What started out as a simple trespass earlier this year has now taken on a very sinister character. Again, I believe the lesson, particularly for our provincial government, is to deal quickly with lawbreakers and to avoid hesitation or procrastination simply because aboriginal people are involved. Unfortunately, Gustafsen Lake is not an isolated example. In this instance, the individuals responsible do not have die support of the local bands, the Cariboo tribal council, or native leaders. However, the situations at Green Mountain Road (Apex), Douglas Lake Ranch and Adams Lake are all examples of die price society pays when government fails to apply one set of laws and standards equally for all British Columbians. Like most people, I have enormous respect for the RCMP and I have some understanding of the very difficult situations they must deal with. As an MLA I believe that the province, through the Ministry of the Attorney General, has an obligation to provide support to the RCMP and to demand that all of our citizens be treated fairly and equally regardless of race. Only in this way can we have confidence diat intense situations such as Gustafsen Lake will be isolated incidents and not part of a growing pattern of lawlessness and violence.

Perhaps I could just rip it up and forget about the whole thing. You see, after my appearance in court last Friday, September 8, a lawyer was almost killed by his client. My appearance, a mere dispute over fees with my lawyer, was put over to another date because my lawyer didn't show up. I was representing myself, I couldn't hear the judge, I didn't understand die "Rules of the court" (which he had to repeat several limes with a stone faced blank look until I finally heard him), and I was very frustrated with the legal system. I wanted justice; what I got was law. The following case, a dispute over lawyers fees, ended (or perhaps began) differently. I recall vividly hearing the young lawyer stating that his client was somewhere in the building, and he rushed out the door, found him, and escorted him before the judge. He was an older man perhaps around 70 years of age. He was not a lawyer, dressed as a gardener. I don't know whether he could hear the judge, (I certainly couldn't), I don't know what amount was being disputed, and I don't know what happened during die seconds I left die courtroom. What I do know is, when I saw a security guard/sheriff rush by me seconds later, I had to go back into that courtroom . I didn't see what happened, but what I did see was the young lawyer on the floor bleeding, in a state of shock, a 14"-16" grass scythe lying on die floor of the courtroom covered in blood, and the older client struggling wilh some men, until other sheriffs finally handcuffed him. Why? Why would a person try to kill someone in a courtroom? His own lawyer? Why in front of a judge and other witnesses? Frustration, anger at die legal system, unhappy with legal fees - who knows? Perhaps we could ask people, who have had to wait for the legal system, to sort out their cases. Everything from petty theft right up to murder. I cringe when I think about how long the family of Melissa Deley will have to wait, until the law sets its course. People are protesdng in the streets for justice, all they get is law, more law and subsequently much more law. I don't condone people taking matters into their own hands. I also do not believe our system is entirely wrong. However, as an elected official at the local level, I believe the justice system should be made more accountable to the public. Timelines put on cases, audits sought regarding costs, and respect given to the victims, jurors, witnesses and participants. I believe the time has come for a full judicial review of our legal system in the country and in the province of British Columbia. I know it can be made better. Yet perhaps I'm looking for more justice and all I'll get is more law. COUN. STEVE FERGUSON, Langley. Province is cut into pieces Editor, Tlie Star, Sir, In late June, Parliament cut up British Columbia into 34 federal electoral districts, and we better get used to new riding names that will be used in the next general federal election. It is ironic diat the name "Lan- gley-Matsqui" for most of Langley was picked by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission in September 1994. The reason for diis irony is threefold: 1. This electoral district includes die whole of the Township of Langley, except an area south of 64di Avenue and an area in Brookswood - but not die area of the City of Langley. Those areas are lumped into a riding widi die long name of "South Surrey-White Rock-Langley". Utterly confusing you might say, but then, "Divide and Rule" seems to be the purpose of an election under our First-Past-The-Post system anyway. 2. With amalgamation of two municipalities to the east of us, it is ironic that the name Matsqui was chosen, as it doesn't exist as a municipal name anymore. Matsqui Village, however, will not be in "Langley-Matsqui", as Gladwin Road will be the boundary widi the riding of "Fraser Valley". This riding will run to the east limit of the District of Chilliwack, so that Popkum will be in a riding called "Okanagan-Coquihalla". Likely the closest the Okanagan will ever come to the Fraser Valley, and probably an impossible riding to campaign in. 3. Township Councillor Kositsky' s presentation to the Commission (a plea for one-federal riding for both Langleys) was ignored by these changes, and MP Randy White's absence at the Commission's hearings (attended by most MPs in Vancouver) may well have been a reason that it was not considered objectionable to cut up the "soon-to-be" (as they call it in the report) City of Abbotsford. All these boundaries are completely different from the proposed boundaries that were printed and sent to every home in February last year. In those proposals, names like "Langley-Clover- dale", "Matsqui-Abbotsford" and "Coquihalla" were used. Oidy proportional representation, with an electoral system like MMP (Mixed Member Proportional) in which every vote of all "segments of opinion" will count, can restore meaning to the word "democracy" in Canada. Cosmetic boundary changes will not reverse our nation's growing apathy with a rotten system. The major political parties (and Commissions that are beholden to them) are obviously too afraid of die consequences that & change of system, to proportional representation, will have on their power structure. This counts for provincial politics as well. Democracy is an endangered commodity in Canada. To be governed by a BC government that was voted in by 40% of the people, and by a federal government that was voted in by 43% of the people, is a travesty of the voice, of the. people, and should be sees as a sham. The people of New Zealand (which also had "First- Past-The-Post") saw that years ago and have changed their system. Canadians deserve the same. The Campaign for Electoral Reform (CFER) is a group of people from various political backgrounds, that promotes MMP as a viable and fair electoral system ■for Canada's Parliament and the provincial legislatures. It was formed last year, and solicits support from all Canadians, irrespective of political persuasion. JACOB de RAADT, Langley H Township whips the city slickers LANGLEY - Coun.

Passengers leave legless LONDON - A sample of panda urine, a double bed and a stripper's outfit are among the odd items left on British Airways flights, to which forgetful travellers last month added a further record-breaking 2,000 items. Many absent-minded passengers also appear to leave the airport legless - as the mounting pile of abandoned false limbs testify. Airline officials say American travellers seem to be the most forgetful; one left a seven-foot teddy bear on a flight to Orlando, while Far Eastern passengers are more likely to remember to take their luggage with them. The British tend to leave behind food. Pounds of haggis and salmon are regularly left by weekenders on the Scottish shuttle flight. THE ALDERGROVE .STAR, SEPTEMBER T3.1995 Four SOCCer teams see action Spartans kick off against valley teams ALDERGROVE - The first weekend of the BCY Soccer Select league started over the weekend with all four Fraser Valley district teams seeing action. U-14 Fraser Valley Heat tied 0-0 with a strong Allouette UTD. Some entertaining soccer was played even though no goals were scored. The Heat had just completed a very successful preseason, winning both the Chilliwack and the Langley Cup against opposition that was one year older. Coach Steve Samura looks like he has assembled a very competitive team. U-15 Fraser Valley United travelled to Delta suffering from a number of preseason injuries and went down early in the game but battled back in the second half only to go down to a 6-3 loss. Coach Brian Godfrey is hopeful of having his injured players back in action for next weekend's same. U-17 Fraser Valley Spirit played a hard fought game against Burnaby to secure a come from behind win 3-2. Goals were scored by Joseph Harper, Peter Masztalar and Rhys McCormick, who plays for B.C. and has just returned from 2 weeks training witii Crewe Alexandra of the English Second Division. Coach Geoff McCormick feels he has a stronger team Uian last year and is hopeful to continue to develop a high quality of skill throughout the season. U-19 Fraser Valley Fury, under new coach Geoff Cadogan, managed a convincing win over FV Gold 2-0 widi two first half goals from Marcel Cadogan and Joel Drieberg, widi Alen Martina supplying the crosses into the penalty area. The true test for the team will be in the next few games when the fury go up against other more established district teams.

Spartans manage one of each in three games LANGLEY - After Trinity Western University's big victory over NCAA soccer division 3 Pacific Lutheran University 3-2, die TWU Spartans were hoping to make a big impact on two CI AU schools on the weekend. Trinity's first opponent was the University of Calgary. Calgary was coining off a 2—1 win over UBC and a 2-0 loss to University of Victoria. Trinity opened the scoring at the 30 minute mark, when Darren Villars (freshman) headed a Chad Bennett (sophomore) cross to Doug Wolters, who headed it just under the bar for his second goal of the season. Calgary ded the game 20 minutes into the second half on a scramble in front of the TWLI net.

The next day, TWU came up .against a rested University of Victoria team. At the 5 minute marie UVic were given a penalty shot when TWU keeper Pat Wiebe took down a Victoria striker while knocking the ball to safety. Victoria took advantage of a lucky break and went ahead 1-0. UVic added another goal at the 33 minute mark when a Victoria midfielder hit the ball through a maze of players and under a sprawled Pat Wiebe. TWU batded to get back into the game and outshot their CIAU opponent 13-8, but were unable to finish several golden opportunities. All in all it was a fine showing for the TWU Spartans, whose next game wdl be against Northwest College from Kirkland, WA, where the Spartans will try and improve their 1 win, 1 tie, 1 loss record. TWU's first league game will be on Saturday, September 16 at 2 pm versus last year's BCCAA champions, the University College of the Cariboo from Kamloops.

By MALCOLM TURNBULL ABBOTSFORD - The Abbotsford Rugby Club enjoyed its most successful season opening weekend in years, winning all three games in Saturday's heat. But even with the wins, all three coaches were not overly pleased with some sloppy play and poor concentration. "It's nice to have the wins, but I'm looking for improvement," said new head coach David Kyle after his first 15 defeated Simon Fraser University 28 to 8. The Div. 1 - Larry's Furniture - side would have had about five more tries but for dropped balls and poor passing by the backs, said Kyle. "Our forwards played fairly well, dominating the lineouts and SFU couldn't hold their own in the sets but the backs, well, it gives us lots to work with before Langley on Saturday." Abbotsford opened the scoring with a powerful run by eighth man Mike Schmidt and, when stand-off Rob Phillips converted the black and white, were up 7 to 0. By the half Abbotsford was ahead 13 to five. Schmidt made another good run in the second half, then passed to lock forward Pat Cochraine for the try. Right winger Tony Rietsma scored the final Abbotsford try, catching a poor SFU defensive .clearing kick, then picking a good running line and beating two SFU defenders. Phillips added another convert and a nice drop kick to round off the scoring. Abby's second 15 - the Murphy Wakefield plumbers - were slow mental starters, but even so managed better first half field position than dieir Bumaby opponent, f "Frankly, we were very scrappy widi poor rugby basics, such as missed tackles, deliberate passing and kicking that did not go to open space," said coach Mike Lewis. But about 10 minutes into the game, stand-off Mark Ferguson got three points on a penalty kick to give Abbotsford the lead. Burnaby came back with a try, giving them a half time lead of five to three. The second half saw the black and white's toughen up mentally, resulting in some good tackling and better defensive play, said Lewis, who learned his rugby skills in Wales. From a Burnaby breakdown, Abbotsford regained possession on their side of the field, ran up the middle to the open side in the Burnaby defensive side, and then switched "phase" attacking to the opposite run of play with fullback Mark Kehler. Kehler displayed smart awareness by punching through with good penetration, then passing to winger Richard Brisco, who was tackled just short of die goal line. But with great team pursuit Abbotsford regained possession from the tackle spot and scrum half Greg Byron scored in the corner. Ferguson converted a very difficult kick from the touch line and later kicked a penalty, making the final score. Abbotsford now led 13 to 5. Lewis declared: "It was an ugly game mentally, but we'll take it. We played hard and diat's very good, I liked the determination." Abbotsford's division three • team - the Eagle Trailers - also started with minds elsewhere, which caused sloppy loose play and lack of commitment to punch in and gain possessions. At the half, the black and white's were down by seven, and coach Ron Oldcnburgcr replaced four of his scrum - a move diat left him widi only one replacement for the remainder of the match. The tactic worked with his team narrowing the score, when standoff Steve Rowell hit a penalty kick for diree points. However, lack of mental toughness bugged Abby again, as Bumaby charged back with a converted try, putting them up 14 to 3. That score was the needed wake-up call as Abbotsford now tackled low and hard, pursued with zeal and pressured with great determination. Off an Abbotsford-won line- out, the black and white went into second phase with inside center Ross Trout breaking tackles and scoring. With Rowell converting, the Burnaby lead was now only four points - 14 to 10. And then the relendess Abbotsford pressure paid off again. Following a Bumaby breakdown the black and white re-gained possession and Trout, with plenty of good teammate support scored again right under the posts. Rowell again converted and the "thirds" won 17 to 14. "This was our best opening day start in years," said Club president Tim Docherty. "But we need better concentration for Saturday's home games against Langley."

Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food cerebrated the taste of B.C. at a sumptuous food products reception in the PNE Boardroom, August 31. The PNE awarded-medals and plaques In the PNE Dairy Product, Commercial Fruit & Vegetable and Honey Competi- - tions while BC Agriculture Minister David Zirnhelt, accompanied by a town crier, used it to launch September as BC Food and Beverage Month. Zirnhelt challenged British Colum-bians to become "Local Heroes" by "making an extra effort to buy B.C. food and beverage products." Some of the best products come from Sun Tai Sang Farm of Burnaby, Chu Lin Farm of Surrey and Katathean Trading Company of Langley, all multiple winners in the PNETFruit & Vegetable Competition, open only to commercial producers in the province. Sun Tai Sang won five firsts and two seconds. Cnu Lin picked up four firsts/ four seconds and one third, while Katathean won three firsts and a second. Other fruit and vegetable producers with first place finishes included Danny Rembrandt best portrait of PNE goats VANCOUVER - A Rembrandt daughter presented a perfect portrait for judge Eric Germaine of California at the 1995 Pacific National Exhibition Goat Show in Vancouver, B.C., September 1-3. After making seven-year- old Qu'Apelle Rembrandt Gazelle, shown by Geraldine Goodman of Matsqui, the senior and grand champion doe and best udder in the Alpine show Germaine selected her as both the Best Doe in Show and the Best Udder in Show. Goodman, the Premier Alpine Breeder and Exhibitor, used Gazelle to anchor her first-place breeder's herd. Lisa Kehler of Abbotsford should be extremely pleased with her results. She brought just two kids to the show and watched them place one-two in the LaMancha junior championships. Marivista Diamond's Willow was named junior champion, while her twin, Marivista Diamond's Nerilka, was named reserve Junior champion. For his reserve senior champion Alpine doe, Germaine chose eight-year-old Tangleroot Valerie, shown by PNE Goat Show chair Sue Barker of Mt. Lehman. Barker also factored in the Toggenburg show, where she was named Premier Breeder and won the reserve junior championship with her April kid, Lionel Cappio Mount Dou- . gtas. The Toggenburg awards were distributed to tour exhibitors. Leading the way was the Premier Exhibitor, Sheri Semple of Mission who won the breeder's herd class and captured the reserve senior and reserve grand championships with her five-year-old doe, CRMS Erin Cornerstone. Named junior champion was Misty Cedar- woods MDP Arizona, shown by Misty Cedar Woods of Abbotsford. LaManchas Win On A Clear Day. The final overall dairy goat championship, for Best Herd in Snow, went to the On A Clear Day LaMancha herd shown by Saundra & Gordon Howell of Duncan, the Premier LaMancha Breeder and Exhibitor. Winning the reserve junior championship was Glenacres Fay W. Eloise, a yearling kid shown by M Tyndale of Glenacres Farm in Mt. Lehman. Glenacres was more dominant in the Saanen show, where Tyndale was named " Premier Breeder and Exhibitor, after showing the reserve junior champion, a February kid named Glenacres Diamond DRW Amethyst. Named senior and grand champion Saanen doe was six-year-old GCH Little Paradise's FanTango, shown by Anin's Goat Dairy of Aldergrove. Another Anin entry, Elm Creek Betty, was cited for best udder in the show. Feature Nubian Breed Largest in Show The Nubians, this year's PNE feature dairy goat breed, again presented the largest individual breed show. They were led by Violet Brunskill of Duncan, named Premier Breeder, and Anin's Goat Dairy, named Premier Exhibitor.

PNE shorthorn show largest in Canada, and best is local VANCOUVER - Eighty-six Shorthorns entered the 1995 Pacific National Exhibition showring, September 2 to make this year's PNE feature breed show the largest Shorthorn show held in Canada to date this year. Several Alberta breeders complemented a strong British Columbia contingent forcing judge Bill Masterson of Texas to make some difficult decisions for his champions. After first making her the junior champion, Masterson selected Circle M Dinah 1D, a stylish yearling heifer shown by Dennis Mulder of Matsqui as his grand champion female, and the Best BC Bred yearling heifer. For the reserve grand champion female, Masterson turned to his senior champion, three-year-old GF Connie's Whiterose, a strapping white Shorthorn shown by Bob & Cindy Merkley of Surrey. Also making it to the grand championship class were the reserve senior champion, Diamond Amanda Maid 12A, shown by Diamond Shorthorns of Alberta, and the reserve junior champion, Bar C Delight, shown by New Beginnings Shorthorns of Matsqui. New Beginnings also showed the Best BC brecTyeariing bull, New Beginnings Danny 1D. Because of the high show numbers, a heifer calf champion was also crowned, that award going to Diamond Enticing Princess, another Diamond Shorthorns entry. Named the reserve heifer calf was Dresden Alena 3E, shown by Milt Stein of Aldergrove. Following their impressive show, breeders held a well-attended "Stars of the Future" Shorthorn heifer calf sale, the first beef sale held at the PNE in many years. The sale was restricted to show heifers, which were ordered into the sale ring similar to their ranking in the show. It was therefore no surprise the champion calf, Diamond Enticing Princess, both entered the ring first and topped the sale. Consigned by Diamond Shorthorns, Princess was purchased by New Beginnings for $1,900. A total of 16 heifers were sold at the auction, averaging $ 1,310/head. "We are very pleased with the sale, especially since it was our first at the PNE," one breeder commented. FRASER VALLEY SIMMENTAL RANCH GOES OUT IN STYLE Fraser Valley Simmental Ranch of Sardis made a successful exit from the PNE with another championship performance in the Simmental ring. The championship for the male grand championship, went to a fourth Breeder, Checkpoint Livestock of Abbotsford, winner of the bull calf class with Checkpoint Equator 12E. UPSETS ABOUND IN ANGUS SHOW Hastie Brothers of Surrey still bested PNE Beef Show chair Bill Zylmans of Luluwill Farms of Richmond hy two points as the premier exhibitor, still won the premier breeder banner in a walk, and still won all the group classes, progeny of dam, get of sire and breeders herd, as they have all show season but otherwise the Angus show, August 31, was marked by upsets. The senior female championships saw a rare mother-daughter pairing. Hastie Brothers took the championship With five-year-old Dee Jay Ruby 13?, while Luluwill captured the reserve award with her two-year-old daughter, Dee Jay Ruby 26C. However, the pair were beaten in the grand championship rounds by the two Junior champions. For his junior and grand champion female. Master- son selected Dee Jay Violet 19D, Hastie's first-place senior yearling heifer. In the reserve junior ana reserve grand position, heplaced KFC Lady Dewdrop 2E, a late February oalf shown by KFC Farms of Abbotsford. For the male grand championship, Masterson opted for structure over size, choosing Smyth V Tonka 1D, shown by Smyth Farms of Langley, as his grand champion. He gave the reserve male championship to the larger Hastie yearling, Dee Jay Gambler 15D. "We are extremely pleased with this year's PNE beef show," Zylmans said, "we had tremendous support from the breeders, attracted some Alberta breeders, mounted a huge Shorthorn show and had a successful sale. This bodes very well for next year." Great glasses make a face!

The Toronto- based quartet performs at St. Andrew's United Church at 8 pm Friday, October 20. "I am thrilled and honoured to have a group of their stature come back to Mission," said series artistic director Francis Xavier. "Their career has really taken off over the past year. I didn't think we'd ever be able to get them back." With their combination of virtuoso playing, onstage humour and a diverse repertoire, Quartetto Gelato (whose name means "ice cream" in Italian) has quickly gained the attention of music lovers throughout Canada and the United States. Since their performance here last fall to an audience thoroughly captivated by their charm and ability, Quartetto has sold over 27,000 copies of their first self- titled album. While in a Morning- side interview with Peter Gzows- ki, filmmaker Norman Jcwison heard the group and included two songs from their album in his film, Only You, with Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei. Sometimes referred to as "the world's smallest touring opera company," Quartetto Gelato offers classical and crossover music ranging from oboe quartet repertoire to operatic arias. Quartetto is promoting sales of their second album, released in ABBOTSFORD - This year's summer reading club, Flights of Fantasy, has been a fantastic success at the Fraser Valley Regional Library.

From front. date was a "centrally located arts and entertainment facility for all users" and to raise funds for it. They have raised close to $1-million "for various phases" and the township has pledged $2 for every $1 On Stage raises. However, they have "only scratched the surface... people are skeptical... firm plans will give a physical focus for fundraising." Mugridge also cited statistics which show arts investments have large economic spinoffs as well as social benefits to the whole community. Wright said the township was "on the verge of a giant step forward" in fostering amateur, fine and commercial arts here, while admitting "concern (hat a theatre is not included in tlie first phase." However, she said while she is "most definitely not advocating a new municipal hall" the remainder of phase one was "lovely (and) needed." Coun. Steve Ferguson was eager to have the matter decided upon at council's next meeting, Sept. 25, but the majority agreed it was better to leave it until after the Sept. 28 open house.

Spokesman Cliff Cotton delivered a two-inch thick folder to councillors, filled with his company's outline of their dealings with township staff and Belair's complaints of staff intransigence and inability to consummate agreements. Cotton did not provide copies to the media, but he told councillors that he's been "leading this application for six years" and asked why it could not proceed to public hearing as promised earlier this year. He said a new administrative report is "of concern to us... it's cleverly worded to indicate there's been progress but there is no real difference." He added that use of the word "agreement" is a misnomer as it should mean both parties have the same opinion — "We're opposed, so it's a concession." Cotton said required engineering studies on roads leading to the proposed golf course on 72 Avenue west of 264 Street have been completed to everyone's satisfaction, and Belair has made "a very generous offer" of funding major road reconstruction. However, after meeting the requirements of April 1994, on May 1 of this year "we're hit with a new one." Councillors said they would look over Cotton's documents before deciding whether they were ready to proceed with first and second readings and a public hearing.

Couns. Mel Kositsky and Muriel Arnason are less enthusiastic about the task force recommendations. Kositsky told The Star that elements of phase one make him uneasy, such as the conference centre- which he believes should be built by private investors if it's needed, along with . the unresolved matter of whether or not the music school would pay a reasonable rent. "That's a really good question, but I've been told we can't negotiate user fees without a firm commitment to a facility in place. I don't understand that at all." Arnason provoked gales of laughter from the large partisan audience and arguments from Campbell and coun. Heather McMullan when she repeated her claim that the project cost totalled more than $36-million, despite the fact that the report clearly spells out that amount out on page A3 (not including GST). "People can say what they like about me but they should tell the truth," Arnason told The -Star after the meeting. "I've attended the task force meetings and that figure is God's own truth. And it's way too rich."

Dealing with heart health problems has a tremendous impact on not only the individual, but also their partners, families, work situations and social relationships. Heart to Heart enables individuals to develop their own heart health plans, tailoring them to personal lifestyle preferences. Heart to Heart participants meet in small groups, with opportunities to share mutual problems and solutions. Partners are encouraged to join in the Heart to Heart program because heart health problems affect the whole family. The Heart to Heart programs start October 7 at Langley Memorial Hospital. The cost is $30 per person or $45 per couple. For more information or to pre-register call the Heart and Stroke Foundation office at 591-1955. wm - \j:m^r • w - r • m, • s Your Future...

The second half of the PNE Horse Show, August 28-September 4, featured a complete variety of halter and performance classes for Arabs, Anglo-Arabs and Half-Arabs^ Hacks, Thoroughbreds, Jumpers, Palominos, Paints, Pintos, Sport Horses Western Horses, Quar- terhorses and the ever-popular Heavy Horses, which brought eight six-horse teams into the PNE Agrodome to close the show. Quarterhorses mounted the biggest individual competition. Exhibitors responded in droves to the fact.the PNE Show had two judges, meaning competitors could earn double ranking points within the breed. As a result, the show attracted a total of 305 entries, a 50 percent increase over 1994's entry numbers. Leading the way was Jean Matheson of Mf Lehman and her appropriately named horse, Pass to Riches. By taking advantage of the double judge system and entering several open Western classes as well Matheson and Pass to Riches racked up 16 first-place finishes as well as eight second place finishes. THOROUGHBRED SHOW AN ILLUSION There was a similar 50 percent increase in Thoroughbred entries, which increased from 116 in 1994 to 172 this year. Despite that, there was no illusion about who the standout performer was. That belonged to Illusion (U.R. Bizzarre), owned by Patricia Hatch of Surrey and ridden by Burgi Rommel. Illusion was named the Thoroughbred Hi-Point Champion and Open Show Hack Champion after winning 9 Thoroughbred and Hack Classes, including the premier event, the Pacific Racing Association Thoroughbred Open Hunter Under Saddle. Inga Martinoff of Ivy League Show Horses in Langley was among the more prominent participants in the PNE Horse Show. She began her week aboard Dust Breaker, leading the big Thoroughbred to the Thoroughbred English Pleasure Championship as well as several top placings. She continued to shine when the Palominos moved in, winning both halter and performance classes with four more horses including the champion Palomino stallion, Crescent Lad. Another individual competitor with fond memories of the 1995 PNE is Amy Dundas of Vancouver. The veteran competitor first placed well in many Thoroughbred classes with Call Me Wonder, then went on to win both the Atrium Inn Open Jumper $10,000 Grand Prix and the Open Jumper $2,000 Welcome Stake, the two top events in the jumping competitions, with her well-known jumper, Fantasia. As usual, the heavy horses occupied centre stage for most of the last tew days of the fair. They were led by Grampa's Belgians of Brooks, AB, who topped the premier six-horse team conformation class as well as several of the smaller classes. Another highlight was Fred Polinder, Jr., of Lynden, WA, who marked both his 45th wedding anniversary and his 48th consecutive year at the PNE by winning the prestigious six-horse team driving competition as he has so many times in the past. The PNE Heavy Horse show also marked the final public appearance of the Patterson Percheron team from Dawson Creek. The team, which is being dispersed later this month, departed in fine style, placing second in the six horse team conformation class.

Park turf plan approved, caretaker moves quashed LANGLEY - The contract for Murrayville Park sand turf playing fields has been awarded to Wilco Landscape Contractors Ltd. Their bid of $249,430.60 was the lowest of seven submitted for the soccer field and baseball diamond. A motion by coun. Muriel Arnason to fund a resident caretaker at West Langley Community Hall and Park was rejected by the majority. A residents' group is trying to find solutions to rowdyism problems there, but this suggestion was judged too expensive by council. Of the township's 40 parks, about a quarter have caretakers or other supervisory systems in place. Coun. Heather McMullan suggested that extended hours could be provided at Langley Cemetery through a possible agreement with the adjacent Langley Riders Club to have their caretaker look after the cemetery's gates as well as the riding facility's. Arnason was the sole vote against the new cemetery bylaw which doubles plot rates.

Now we will be starting our fall season with the district banquet and club banquet But it's not all banquets. We also have club meetings, record books to finish and hand in, our future yearling ewe projects will have to be looked after for the winter, and its breeding time, so we have lambs in the spring for our projects next year. We also have woolcraft meetings and projects to get started on for members interested in spinning and learning to knit and crochet. Our club put on a spinning demonstration at the PNE, thanks to the encouragement of Nancy Mallinson. The members that participated said there were lots of questions and interest from the crowds at the PNE. As you can see, even though the fairs are done, there's still lots of work to do. I guess that's why our 4-H motto, Learn To Do By Doing is so appropriate.

SEPTEMBER 13,1995 15 This gleaming, restored rarity, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird goes on the auction block for MCC charities this weekend. Admirers are (left) Joel Shelley, Brian Sibome, Waldo Neufeld, Gus Hartl and Willy Isaak. Rallying around a good cause, classic car CLEARBROOK - Vintage car buffs will have an opportunity to bid on a 1967 Firebird convertible at this year's 27th annual MCC Relief Sale and Auction, which will be held at the Ag-Rcc Centre in Abbotsford, September 15 and 16. 1967 was the first year the legendary sports car was released by. Pontiac. While the hardtop model is rare, the convertible is more highly-prized by collectors and will be among tlie star attractions at the upcoming sale, according to the Mennonite Central Committee's Waldo Neufeld. The car was donated by First Heritage Savings Credit Union after a considerable search diroughout Western Canada. In June, they located the right car in Vernon, then had it transported to No tears for cats LANGLEY - Township councillors received praise for its new exotic animals bylaw from two women in Ontario this week, but a local request for a stray cat shelter and mandatory cat spay/neuter program failed to interest councillors. Coun. Mel Kositsky observed that, "We do a lot for dogs here — have we ever looked into what could be done for cats?" Couns. Steve Burton and Heather McMullan, champions of the exotic animal bylaw which bans circus animal performances and ownership or trade in exotic animals in Langley, were mute on the issue. Administrator Jim Godfrey said that previous councils had discussed the matter but decided to take "no action." Mayor John ,'choltens observed that cats have "been fi;e to roam the streets since the times of ancient Egypt," suggesting that cat bylaws were unenforceable. Cynics might be forgiven for thinking it's easy to enact a bylaw on a relative non-issue of exotic animals, while genuine problems of excessive feline population are considered insurmountable. Every year thousands of cats are destroyed by the SPCA in neighbouring communities which fund the service. Out of frustration with the statistics and costs, New Westminster council is considering spay/neuter bylaws for cats which are allowed to roam. Abbotsford, where the "amazing" MCC volunteer machine kicked. in, said Gus Hard, of First Heritage. Joel Shelley at Fraser Way Body and Paint has given the Firebird head-turning appeal with a new Dynasty Red paint job. Willie Isaak from Arvid's Mechanical has donated many hours to engine and brake work to make the car completely roadwor- Uiy and able to pass Aircare. The local tradesmen have also called on their friends in the business to help locate tires and interior parts and accessories that will ensure Uie car draws high bids at the sale. Up to 20,000 people from throughout western BC and Washington are expected to attend the auction, sponsored by the organization that was started in 1920. Neufeld says, the auction will be a family affair, which will include live entertainment, ethnic food, and hundreds of items to suit everyone's taste - and budget. Every winter the MCC holds a fundraising banquet to cover auction expenses, including rentals and entertainment costs. A total of $35,000 was raised at this year's' banquet and ensures that "every dollar people spend at the sale goes to the intended purpose," says Neufeld. The funds from this year's auction, like those held since 1968, will be used for relief aid in less fortunate parts of the world, including the war-torn former Yugoslavia. Neufeld recently visited Belgrade, where he was hosted in several homes that had received emergency aid from the MCC. At one point, he was treated to an elaborate ethnic meal. "It made me feel bad, because I knew they didn't have much," said Neufeld. "Again and again, they told me 'tell your people thank you'." For Neufeld, the overseas trip was an opportunity to appreciate the freedom and wealth of this country, wliich can sometimes be forgotten by the people who live here. After years of work with the MCC, Neufeld has been fortunate to experience the generous and caring nature of Canadians - and he was proud to share it with the people he has visited in less fortunate parts of the worid. "It gave me the opportunity to say a lot about this community and the many charitable hearts in Canada," said Neufeld. Others interested in getting involved with the MCC or making a donation to the upcoming auction should contact Waldo Neufeld at 850-6639, "Community schools" to expand services offered By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - The School Board has officially designated three elementary schools as 'community schools.' Douglas Park, Langley Meadows and North Otter received Ihe approval at last Tuesday's meeting, and Shortreed and Alex Hope are in the process of becoming 'community schools' as early as next September. The implementation has taken two years during which time each school has developed and expanded programs and services to meet the needs of tlie local community. Liaisons have been set up wilh various organizations including City and Township recreation departments, Boys' and Girls' Clubs, the YM/YWCA, and other service clubs/special interest groups. The Ministry of Education has indicated special funding of up to $70,000 for 'community schools' as designated by the board, but they must also meet Ministry cri teria which includes: a school- based decision making structure separate from die Parent Advisory Council or School Leadership Team reflecting die community at large; and evidence of program planning other than normal community uses which arc budgeted and staffed separate from the school. Programs being implemented are: recreational, educational and art programs for kids making extra use of the library and computer labs; programs involving old age pensioners; lifcskills programs such as baby-sitting and home, safety courses; ancl the formation of partner groups. Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Alex Holm said lhat the idea is not new. "All schools are used by the community," he said, "but the use can be improved and extended." Other district schools have expressed interest in the 'community school' concept and will be looking into the project.

LANGLEY - School Board trustees voted to amend policy 1401-Trustee Incidental Expenses, to specifically not include day care and employment as reimbursable expenses. Trustees currendy submit for expenses such as meals, entertainment, travel, long distance telephone calls and car mileage. In debate on the motion Trustee Diane Pona asked why 'substitute employment', which is the payment of a replacement worker while the trustee attends functions, and not just 'employment*? "I don't believe this is necessary," she said. "Most of our meetings are not at times when we are working, and if they do happen when we are supposed to be working, one third of our remuneration is to cover expenses we all incur." Trustees Rod Ross and Bruce Barnes said that sometimes it should be allowed. Barnes suggested adding "except as approved by die chair" to the new wording, which was not approved. Trustee Donna Gittcns said that trustees are already remunerated for their work which is to carry out the duties of the board. "1 don't know of any elected official paid for substitute employment," she said. "We can take a day off or take a day of holidays. Also a lot of functions trustees attend arc optional." Vice Chair Chris Pctipas agreed with Gittens and stated that when someone decides to become a trustee diey know what they are going to be paid and the amount includes money to cover some of the costs. Trustee Denny Ross summed up the conversation by asking what is valid. "This district has doctors on board and people with no other income at all," he said. "Is some people's time worth more money than others?" The motion was passed with the deletion of the word 'substitute', and the amended policy 1401 now reads: b) Sundry legitimate expenses (meals, entertainment, long distance telephone calls, travel, etc.). Daycare and employment coverage are not reimbursable. Langley - The Western Bonanza Garage Sale at Langley United Church is a sale with a big difference.

Pallet plant still up in the air From front threatened them, which he vehemently denies, although he did send a letter to next door neighbour Karl Strobl. The letter dated July II, typed on Canadian Pallet Inc. letterhead, and signed by Sangha, states, "We feci lhat you are causing us a lot of downtime and production loss* for no reason whatsoever. Effective July 8, 1995 we are.keeping track of our production loss, Suite hope turns sour From front leagues for compassion, but mayor John Scholtens pointed out they "should, in fairness, not hold out false hope." Council has previously voted to continue lo "stick to enforcement" when responding to complaints about secondary suites. Kositsky said municipal affairs minister Joan Smallwood has expressed desires to "encourage secondary suites" and Vancouver has imposed a moratorium on suile closures while diey are trying to deal with Uie matlcr. "Prosecution on complaint is unfair," as a policv. lie said. Coun. Trudi Campen noted that formal application for "inlaw suites" at a Murrayville development project were overwhelmingly opposed by residents at a public beinphg; "It's impossible for everyone to win on this issue." downtime and business loss, so lhat we can cover our loss if we decide lo forward this matter to our lawyer against you for wrongful complaints which do not exist." In Slrobl's living room however, the hum, vibration, and dust coming from the plant are very real. He believes the neighbours have a legitimate complaint, not necessarily witii Sangha, but witii the city for their inaction. "It's a concern to all of us living here," he said. "He just does what he wants, when he wants. We have checked with the city and he was never given the go- ahead to do what he is doing, he was never given a permit to have the tyjic of machinery that he has there, and the city is doing nothing about it. "We have put up with a lot, and enough is enough." Mayor George Ferguson said . he understands the complaint but the city has to work within the legal system lo resolve (lie issue, even if it appears Sangha does not. Sangha, who has a petition with signatures from neighbours stating they don't have a problem with the operation of the company, says until die issue is decided in court he will continue to operate and not give up 'because a couple of |ieople make a fuss.' He says Uiat he wants a peaceful solution and is willing to listen to anyone who can come up with a viable option to end all this.

Operations Manager 37-2 ^M^r^^^4i^±Mm^}t^kMi , ^..^.'^y.^ Partnerships paramount in schools for the best education services By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Linda Moir has been a school trustee since 1986, but her involvement in die school system goes back to when her children entered preschool. She was an active parent, and was involved with the Parent Advisory Council. Moir never set out to be a trustee, it was just a natural next step. She loves the job and says it is wonderful, although time consuming, and being chair of the board can be even more demanding. As chair, she is the board's spokesperson and must always be aware of what's happening. Moir spends a lot of time listening to the other trustees and speaks for them, rather than herself. "It's not what Linda thinks, or what Linda wants," she said. "It's what the group thinks and the group wants. As part of the group I may or may not agree, but it's a democracy." Moir also conducts the public school board meetings, with the agenda and recommendations prepared by staff, who do an incredible amount of work to help trustees make informed decisions. The board also has special in- camera meetings, presided over by Vice-Chair Chris Pctipas, which are for discussing personnel matters, land transactions and other items of a sensitive nature. "No one wants to find out in a newspaper that they did or didn't get a job," Moir said, "So we have to discuss (hose things in private." She says she is very impressed by all the trustees and senior staff who work so well together. "After the last election I was a little worried about how everything would turn out," she said. "But I am very pleased with everyone and the way we all get along." She especially speaks highly of Pctipas. "Chris is always dependable and can make tough decisions when they need to be made. She believes the same as I do, that the bottom line in any decision we make is what's best for the kids." In the last few years the school board has formed many partnerships within the community including businesses, post sec- Hard to stop once you start, says school board chair Linda Moir ondary institutions, and political organizations. Currendy die board is working on setting up the Fraser Valley Educational Consortium, and the Joint Access Committee both of which will enable the school district to work widi other organizations and save money. "We have to look at our priori- tics because there is oidy so much money to go around," she said. "There are lots of innovative ways to save money, but they take time to set up." Moir is also proud of the board's relationship with the PACs and the district PAC which is the strongest and best in the province. "We are so lucky to have all these wonderful partnerships," she said. "And we arc all lucky to be working in such a great district where the education of children comes first."

The program was an initiative of the Langley School District that involved a number of community partners. A series of mid-week events held at the shopping centre such as "Summer Reading Olympics", Fabulous Folktales Festival", "Spring Break Book Swap", "Bingo for Books" and "Mystery Madness" consistendy drew up to 1,000 parents and school children, involving them in family reading activities that would encourage the development of reading habits at home. As well, the sale of tickets for the events raised over $10,000, all of which was directed towards the purchase of books and supplies for school libraries. The program was so successful it has prompted other school districts to launch similar programs and the Langley District to pursue a similar science and mathematics program during the 1995 school year.

Making education work ABBOTSFORD - The Sept. 27 Chamber of Commerce luncheon features speaker Dr. Neil Snider on the topic of linking post-secondary education with the workplace. Snider is president of Trinity Western University. Held at the Rancho, the cost is $ 11-$ 13; reservations call 859-9651. Other chamber events include the Sept. 15 mixed golf tournament and the shop local kick-off rally for merchants on Sept. 18. The chamber will also host an open house of their expanded facilities on Oct. 27, 1 to 4:30 p.m. Membership has grown to 613 and they anticipate 60,000 inquiries from the public this year. Leave God out, says minister VICTORIA - On Sept. 7, education minister Art Charbonneau issued revisions to the grade 11- 12 biology curriculum which ban the teaching of "creationism" as part of a unit on the evolution theory. Teachers may mention the theories of divine creation only in "a locally developed comparative religions course." Amendments were also made to bring the curriculum and school law in line with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. "The science classroom is not the place to provide instruction or require discussions of religious dogma or religious belief systems," said Charbonneau. "It is not a debatable issue." Abbotsford school board has been given until Sept. 15 to amend their local policy to comply with the directive. The board had previously had a policy of allowing teachers to talk about alternative theories regarding mankind's origins, including the literal words of the Bible's first book, Genesis. The policy was challenged by a parent as being "unscientific" but the board resisted changes, and this has been challenged by the teachers' association and the province. Charbonneau has threatened to dismiss the board if the matter is not resolved, to his satisfaction. The board, said chair John Sutherland, is meeting this week with their lawyer to discuss the legality of new wording which they have come up with, and their decision is to be announced Thursday night. Sutherland said the ministry order raises the question of whether "discussion" of any sort, on any topic, is permissible in the classrooms.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, SEPTEMBER 13,1995 19 Inta Schorcht's delightful quilt panels make a beautiful backdrop for this Aldergrove Fall Fair photo memory. She was one of many crafts demonstrators at the revived fair on Saturday, which drew respectable crowds Of supporters. -Kurt Langmann photo Agrifair's future in doubt after second disastrous weekend By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Fomier Matsqui councillor and Mayor Harry DeJong appeared before council last Monday to comment on the future of the Agrifair. He asked if any community in B.C. employs more people in agriculture that Abbotsford, and if it's an accident that the Ministry of Agriculture built their headquarters here. He answered his questions with 'no.' He then went on to ask why council is discouraging people, who do their best to have an annual fair, people being the Fair Board of Directors. This year's Agrifair, held on the Labour Day weekend which included a record setting rain fall, lost money for the second year in a row. Between 40,000 and 45,000 people attended the fair down about 16 percent from last year. After the event Agrifair president Larry Schmidt said that the fair was the best ever, calling it a success thanks to excellent organization and enthusiasm. He also said that he did expect a better turnout for the main stage concerts, which had small crowds because of the uncooperative weather. Now the future of tlie fair is in question. Councillor Ken Funk said that DeJong's statements of some councillors being critical of the fair board are inaccurate. "I have never criticized tlie fair board for their effort or results," he said. "My concern is the use of taxpayers money for the operation of the fair. This year it's $278,000 and I think that's pretty generous. Two hundred thousand of that is an interest free loan that should be repaid, and now we are having difficulty in collecting." He went on to say diat DeJong makes it sound like if the fair goes, the agriculture in the community goes too. "It's distressing to think that the fair is the saviour of the community," he said. "My business is in agriculture and I don't see the severity of the loss of tlie fair. If the agricultural community sees the fair as that important to the city then they should foot the bill." Councillor Brad Boyse agreed but suggested that the fair has some merit. He also said that perhaps the city should allow the board to use the buildings year- round for fundraising events. "It's hard for a single annual event to be self funding," he said, "But it is the responsibility of the board to make the event pay for itself before it opens, possibly by pre-selling tickets. "As a city we have an obligation to support the fair but a deficit and cost overruns cannot be left to the taxpayers." Councillor Ron Sweeney said he is in full support of the fair despite not coining from an agricultural background: He said Uiat had the weather not been bad, tlie financing wouldn't be needed, but that's beyond tlie board's control. "The fair is a symbol of who we are." he said. "If everyone attended the fair, then the board wouldn't have to come to council for money. Il is who we are, and we must support it and keep it alive." Avoid close encounters of the black bear kind SURREY - There are about 6,500 black bears in the lower mainland region and the environment ministry wants the public to "practice special care with orchards, fruit and garbage to limit contact and potential bear conflicts," said spokesperson Betty Terpsma. Every year conservation officers are forced to destroy "habituated bears attracted to unnatural food sources" and with ongoing urbanization the problem is sure to get worse. While officers respond to complaints, they "are more reluctant to shoot bears getting into garbage due to human negligence. Relocation of habituated bears is seldom successful; often the translocated bear returns to the food source, starves to death or is killed or driven away by other bears." The key is to bear-proof your property because "often a bear is simply passing through and will return to Uie bush if no easy food sources are available." Recommended steps include electric fencing around beehives, compost, livestock and fruit trees. Garbage and compost bins, barbecue grills and pet food containers should be securely stored. Pick ripe fruit and windfalls, and thin trees to create a break in natural pathways. The best solution is to leave bears to their own habitat, but as far as bear encounters go, each case is unique and no absolute rules apply to every encounter. Try to never surprise, approach or feed a bear— make loud noises like clapping or talking, or wear bear bells. For information on bears and safety call the conservation office at 582-5200. f • tj • t - mSm rt • e • Adults Only Motivation + Kwantlen = Success!

Lehman girls and several more from Matsqui were individual stars of the 1995 Pacific National Exhibition 4-H Show. They were among more than 1,000 youngsters from across British Columbia who participated in the annual PNE 4- H Week, August 23-29, the largest program of its type in North America. Denise Kirton of Mt. Lehman, a member of the Otter 4-H Beef Club, completed her tenure in the 4-H program in fine style. Named the champion senior beef showman, she brought two champions into the showring. One was her Hereford heifer, which topped the heifer class, the other was her Lim-* ousin cross steer, which was named the sale champion, and therefore the first steer into the 4-H Sale, August 30. A consortium of Abbotsford/Aldergrove buyers representing Bonetti Meats, Country West Construction, Fraser Valley Concrete Pumping and Magnum Concrete paid $3.50/-pound for the grand champion of the sale. Another Mt. Lehman 4-H'er, Donna Hayes, was the individual star of the 4- H horse show.

Call for information. Fire Department Emergency 9-1-1 TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY Telephone: 888-7755 M Kristine Carlson and Kirsty Stewart ot the Matsqui 4-H Holstein Club were another formidable duo. The two combined to win the demonstrations competition with a presentation on hanging baskets. Carlson also showed the reserve champion heifer in a huge 4-H Holstein heifer competition, while Stewart was a major factor in the judging competition, tying for third in the dairy class and placing fifth in the aggregate awards. Another Matsqui youngster, Zoe O'Brien of the Matsqui Qoat, Rabbit & Swine Club, was a multiple winner in the rabbit classes, showing both the champion and reserve champion wool rabbit and being named the senior and grand champion rabbit showman. At the PNE, 4-H'ers compete in a variety of livestock and non-livestock competitions. The most common element is judging of the animal, called a "project" in 4-H lingo. Projects are divided into a number of categories, including age, sex and/or degree of difficulty. Championships are awarded in each category. A second element is showmanship, in which the members, rather than their projects, are judged as to their ability in the ring. They must be appropriately attired, control their particular project and be able to answer any questions the judge may have. A third element is fitting, in which the member is given a specified amount of time to prepare his or her project for a competition and judged on how well that task has been accomplished. At the same time, the member must be able to explain why certain actions were taken during the fitting. The fourth major element is the provincial judging competition, in which members are asked to "place" two projects and provide reasons for those placings. Their scores are then based on the accuracy of those decisions and defensibility of their reasoning. For aggregate awards, competitors must not only judge two projects in their class, but also three other projects of their own choosing.

We're A Proud 4-H Supporter til SAVE-ON-FOODS ASK ANNABELLE Dear Annabelle, I am only writing you because my girlfriend said I should. I have a problem with my boyfriend Randy (not his real name). We have been going together since last year, just before we graduated from high school. I thought I was in love and I thought he loved me too. We planned a life together after I had finished college. I started at the regional college last September and was very pleased to get a two-year student loan to pay my way through. Randy got a job at a local gas station, and we saw each other almost every day. It was Randy's idea that we put our money in the same account at the bank. He explained that, while I was taking money out for school expenses, he would be putting in his pay cheque to help defray the costs. Naturally I was delighted and we went ahead, both of us having cheque signing rights to the account. During the middle of August I went in to start paying my fees at school. Imagine my horror when I discovered Randy had closed the account by removing all the rest of my student loan as well as what he had put in from his pay cheques. When I went to his service station, his boss said he had quit the day before. I called his parents, and his mother told me he had left for California the day before. She was surprised that he hadn't told me. Now I have no address where I can reach him and also have no funds to continue my education. What am I to do? Signed: Desperately seeking Randy. Dear Desperately, Keep phoning Randy's parents. He must, at some time, be in touch with them. See your local RCMP detachment to see if they can trace him', although I think your chances of that are nil. In die long run you are lucky to have found out early Uiat this guy is a big loser, in more ways Uian one. Your hard luck is a bitter pill to swallow at your young age, but keep your chin up and I hope your future will be brighter. Dear Annebelle, The other day I met an old friend whom I hadn't seen for many years, and he asked me when I had grown my beard. "Just the other day," I said, "while I was waiting to cash a cheque at my bank." "Really?" he asked. "No-o-o-o," I replied, "not really." He almost believed me because he remembered all the times he had gone into the bank and found only two of the six wickets staffed, and he had to cool his heels until he found himself connected to a wall by spider webs. We talked about how die big chartered banks continue to make huge profits, recession or no, year after year, and reward their fellow citizens by taking on too few employees and making people waste Uieir time as customers. We wondered what our banks would be like if they ever had a really bad year (as many of their scorned customers have). Would we have to make appointments to see a teller? Would it be illegal to ask to deal with a live human being? Would that piddling interest rate on savings accounts vanish altogether? What I want to know is: On which side of die counter are the real bank robbers? Just sign me: OLD COBWEBS R&M TIRE New and Used Tires — Quality Cars, Trucks and Campers — Brakes, Shocks and Front-end Service 26827 Fraser Highway 856-5011 HAGAR THE HORRIBLE WOULC? -xove 2 \fe>ftrrofJuY^r A Vif^Veo^Z TtXJN^ AfZMOf2 FfSoM A I20AULY <SOO[7 FAMIUY a&£ &errir4s> tAope PICKY £l/£A?YPAY7 BLONDIE BROOMHILDA tm PIN60-ER, ON TUfr OPENING PAY OF 5O400L I FEEL£_MAP&LLED TO I^OE A WARNING- MV ATTENTION *PAN 3H0RTENEP CONSIDERABLY PURtN£ THE SUMMER.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, SEPTEMBER 13,1995 21 Computer Corner ff|'. By ROBERT MELYNCHUK This week we take a look at a computer's basic communications tool, the modem. I was going to give you three choices of modems, but the Hayes company, which built the first modems, has been bought out by a larger company Uiat may not be too interested in making any. I think that Hayes was the top of Uie line and would be today too. The company that has Uie market now, and I believe Uie one to buy, is U.S. Robotics, which sells for around $300. Always look for a discount and always shop and compare prices. You're never too old lo do this for everything you buy. The third choice is the Supra, and it too is around $300. I always check out the articles in Consumer Reports, wliich you can read at most public libraries in their reference departnient. One problem for computer users is the telephone line, that limits how much infomiation you can send, and moreover, there is noise and interference on the line which will interrupt your trans- l mission. You might even be disconnected. So, the telephone company offers, for some high speed data, lines called Integrated Stepped Data Network (ISDN) and UBIQUITY. In practical terms a modem operating at 28,800 bis is the standard now. Since time is money, the quicker you are able to send and receive, the less you pay. Remember you should stay with a proven system. Overdue record The most overdue library book in the United States was a book on febrile diseases (London, 1805, by Dr. J. Currie) checked out in 1823 from the University of Cincinnati Medical Library and returned December 7, 1968 by the borrower's great-grandson, Richard Dodd. The calculated line of $2,264 was waived.

Canada reacts cautiously to US 'open border' plan TORONTO - Canadian officials, who are stepping up enforcement against firearms smuggling from America, have expressed surprise at a proposal by U.S. border agencies to eventually eliminate all customs and immigration inspections on individuals crossing from Canada into the United States. Officials in Ottawa reacted cautiously to the plan, noting it is preliminary, would apply only to . entries to the United States and would require approval by both the American and Canadian governments. The draft, floated in Washing-, ton by a group representing US Customs, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the departments of Agriculture and State, envisions an "open border," permitting Americans and Canadians to pass from Canada into the United StatesJas easily as crossing from California into Nevada. The report describes the proposal as a "long term recom- Young driver caught ABBOTSFORD - Police have a 17 year-old in custody after a hit and run accident at McCallum Road and Cannon Street, just after 4 p.m, Tuesday, September 5. While attending the scene, police observed the suspect vehicle nearby and attempted to stop it but it sped away. The chase proceeded through several residential roads and ended when the suspect vehicle hit a police cruiser parked across Pineview Street approaching Clearbrook Road. The driver of the car fled on foot, but with the aid of an alert citizen he was apprehended a short distance away. Approximately $5,000 damage was done to each vehicle, but there were no injuries in the incident. The youth has been taken into custody and police are considering charges of Possession of stolen property over $5,000, Failure to remain at the scene of an accident, Dangerous driving and several others. . OBITUARY MORRIS, John Bruce, passed away in Smithers, B.C., September 7, 1995, at the age of 70 years. He is survived by his loving family, wife Freda of 45 years; one daughter, Ariene (Larry) Lynch; three sons, Keith (Bev), Randy (Karen) and Wayne (Cheryl); six grandchildren, Teresa, Donna, Teresa, Candice, Kerf and Dustin; three sisters, Trixie Buchmaster, Dorothy (George) McAdam, Betty Townsend; two brothers, Geoff (Ena) and Dave (Gwen); numerous nieces, nephews and many friends.

Although the draft only deals with border inspections on the U.S. side, any decision by the Americans to eliminate them could lead to calls for reciprocal action by Canada. Canadian and U.S. officials already are negotiating ways to speed crossings under an agreement initiated by President Clinton and Prime Minister Chretien during lhe president's February visit to Ottawa. But those talks did not entail an "open border" scenario, Canadian officials say. At the same time, Canadian customs officials are increasing efforts to intercept handguns and olher firearms smuggled by lhe thousands each year from the United States into Canada, mostly by automobile. The issue is politically sensitive in Canada, which has much stronger gun regulations than the Unilcd Stales. A surge of high-profile shootings in major cities in the last two years has led lo fears of a rise in violence here in Canada. The concern has led the federal government to increase penalties for gun smuggling and for Canadian customs officials to begin adapting detection techniques perfected in drug trafficking cases to gun smuggling. Canada also is battling illicit traffic in drugs, cigarettes and liquor from the United States. Robber must pay LONDON - A criminal acquitted in 1984 of involvement in a $65-million gold robbery, was ordered by a High Court judge here this month to pay back the full value of the bullion, plus $4- million compensation, to insurance underwriters. Justice Rimer said he was satisfied that Tony White, "a dishonest man with an appalling criminal record," participated at least in the planning and that his "substantial wealth" had come from the proceeds. Although he does not have $65-miIlion, White is reputed to be a millionaire and all his assets will now be forfeited, including bank accounts, houses in London and Spain and a considerable quantity of jewelry. The ruling brings almost to an end a series of civil actions! against 57 people and companies said to have been involved in the robbery of a Brinks Mat warehouse near Heathrow airport or handling (he haul. The actions for recovery of the money were brought by a group of insurance underwriters, most from Lloyd's of London, who paid out $65-million to the owners of the bullion. ,ll...,wf jm? 28 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, SEPTEMBER 13.1995 Fair times coming to Mount Lehman TWO IN GLOUCESTER Four industrial projects get green light MOUNT LEHMAN - Fair times continue in the valley this weekend, as this community hosts its tenth annual Mount Lehman Country Fair on Saturday, Sept. 16.
