m OVER "DOWN-ZONING" PROPOSAL ■ ■■. ■■ ZIil ZtZSL-Z . ■ "fhsj*..j..*r;-Jx fc^gUiitgg ...' n' / Township fears backlash LANGLEY - The township's proposed new rural plan bylaw and zoning amendments will directly affect 10,000 property owners here and Coun. John Scholtens says he can't understand why there hasn't been an outpouring of consternation and anger from the public. Scholtens thinks, perhaps taxpayers aren't aware of what the bureaucracy has in mind for their properties. His suggestion that it amounts to a "downzoning" clearly made administrators squirm,, Kfon3ay evening when he demanded that personal'. letters be sent to each of the 10,000 owners, explaining in no uncertain terms what the proposed bylaw would do to them. The/jcgylaw is at first and second reading stage now, and staff said there will be a number of open houses if£ the com- munity-'to explain its intent before it advances to public hearing and final reading.. When a bylaw affects more than ten property owners, newspaper advertisements could be used in place of letters, and in this case letters would cost $5,000 to $7,000 to send to the 10,000 owners. Scholtens still worried^that "a large downzoning could take place without discussion," and said that 80 percent of Langley township is now controUeli-oyr' the "appointed" Land Commission. "Why do we do this today? Aldergrove farmer Fred Pepin heads south with his new recreational vehicle, Wednesday morning. Seriously, Pepin and other Alder Grove Heritage Society members proved that grey power and a vintage Fordson tractor can handle the challenge of moving the 107 year old Shortreed log cabin from its original location on 272 Street near 27 Avenue, several miles south to its new location in Aldergrove Lake Park land on Zero Avenue. The "goldie oldie dub" saved themselves about $4,800 in moving costs, so hafs off to the volunteers! Aldergrove Elks will help restore the two-storey cabin as part of a children's camp the club is building on the GVRD parkland. The cabin had to be moved to make way for a new housing development, and cabin donor Hank Parian and nine other property owners each donated $200 to help with the project. It coincided with Heritage Week, which starts Feb. 15. PhOtOS, Stories, page 13. -Kurt Langmann photo Mobile home restrictions nixed MURRAYVILLE - It was a trial balloon that imploded when it faced the pressure brought on by angry property owners. That was the attitude taken by all six councilors, Monday evening, when they shot down amendments to the bylaw that would have prohibited mobile homes as second residences on compassionate grounds. Mayor John Beales suggested that the matter be referred back to administration after last week's overflow public hearing produced "more information than anticipated." In a roundabout way Beales' suggestion was the net result, but one by one, councilors argued that last week's crowd was back in the gallery and deserved to hear a decision. "Justice delayed is justice denied," declared Councilor Muriel Arnason. Councilors argued that the real issue is one of affordable accommodation, and that the single- wide mobile homes are just one component of Jthe[big picture,, which they said also included auxiliary suites, so-called monster homes and "site coverage." There are others among the public with concerns over these issues, said Coun. John Campbell, and these "concerns have to be reflected." Coun. Steve Ferguson said Langley is a "large municipality with many sections and zones. We have to look at the bylaw... we can spend a few weeks to hammer something out." Beales agreed that vetoing the proposed amendment "will not be the end of it. There will be a more far-reaching bylaw brought forward, another kick at thetctjt when the broader issue returns." With that, councilors unanimously killed the third reading of the amendment. The amendment applied only to a fraction of the mobile homes allowed in the district, specifically seven presently allowed on compassionate grounds on property less than two acres in size in the suburban . sT^sidefts^^SRrJ^^r^JTf^By^'^^ Councilors Campbell and John Scholtens said the housing crisis meant there were no facilities in the district for a number of people, and the issue of how to handle the problem to the satisfaction of ail taxpayers would go back to municipal planners for a new bylaw amendment. Scholtens argued for an "open planning session to wrestle with housing" and repeated his pet argument for allowing "granny suites" that would be permanent and more appealing to the eyes of neighbors than the metal rectangles dotting the landscape. Administrators pointed out that there have been 109 permits issued for temporary mobile homes since 1990, and of these only six required "compassionate grounds." The rest were allowed in the rural areas and for farm help or caretaker use, and are renewable on an annual basis provided the individual circumstances of the permit do not cnange.^.*.*,,*:*.*.*.*.-^*,*-.^.*.♦.*.*«>'.■♦.*.■ One acre areas rezoned to twenty acres? What are we now <doing to this 80 piercent?" Administrator Jim Godfrey said there's "nothing wanted but a public process... comments will be aired (at the open houses) and assembled." Coun. Trudi Campen said there's been no "outcry" and Coun. Steve Ferguson said the township's doing "the right thing." Coun. Muriel Arnason » said she was "looking forward to the open houses and the input." Coun. Aubrey Searle's defense that it's "all been public" angered Scholtens, who interrupted, "Excuse me, but no one's been informed that they'll be down- zoned. These people will be directly affected. It's not too much to ask that those directly affected are informed, when we can inform 200 neighbors that are not directly affected, about a proposal in their area."

Discussions are just beginning but municipal staff has also been open to the proposal, which has set its sights on the former motocross tracJc in south Aldergrove. At its annual general meeting, unanimous vote was given to follow through on the idea by the 19 members present. Keith Sim heads the land acquisition committee, and he said his talks with Langiey Parks and Recreation head, Doug Brimacombe, "looks good ... (and) may come to fruition." The site at 272 Street betw>sen 8 and 16 Avenue is about ten ascres in size. It is located next to the former dump site, which was closed when the GVRD transfer station was built across the street. The proposed location is not above any of the landfill and should not have earth-settling problems. Its use by motocross fans halted last year when municipal council, under pressure from neighboring property owners, declined to renew the iease with the motocross club. Sim said the Agricultural Association will ask the township to donate the land site, and other community organizations will be approached to help in the construction of multi-use buildings. Sim pointed out that the association donated the land now known as Aldergrove Park to the municipality in the '60s, and the association's request for donated land would be considered a returned favor from the government. "We're now at the pjoint where we have to do basic studies, spend some money to look at it," said Sim. Please see page 2 Sikh temple gets a "thumbs down" AUDERGRSVe - To thundering applause, councilors turned thumbs down to a proposed Sikh temple for 37jT,- 264 Street, Monday. The Sikh Missionary Association of Canada had requested rezoning of the six acres of farmland to civic institutional zone P-l last year. South Aldergrove residents had vigorously opposed the developmentthere, noting that there were already frequent bottlenecks in cross- border traffic in that block of Bellingham Highway. Municipal staff opposed the proposal because it didn't conform to township land use policies, and refused to support any application to the Land Commission to have it removed from the agricultural land reserve. Staff suggested that the applicant be encouraged to find suitable property in an urban area. However, The Star also received phone calls and letters which opposed the development on purely racial grounds. These letters were not fit for publication and have been destroyed at the discretion of The Star's editors. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. VOX 1A0 NEWS?

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 Cost scary to co$ncilbrs LANGLEY - The mammoth cost of bringing GVRD waste management up to snuff has municipal councilors shuddering. Over $2-billion in projects are being demanded by the federal and provincial governments in this region, with $500-million alone needed for upgrading the Lulu Island and Annacis sewage treatment facilities. Langley's own treatment plant is the very best, in the region, providing tertiary treatment before the safe and clean waste water is piped into the Fraser River. However, as members of the GVRD, Langley taxpayers will shoulder a share of the regional improvement plans to bring other plants up to the same standards. Coun. Muriel Arnason said she's "the first to want the Fraser cleaned up" but Langley's share of about $80-million to $105- million of the total cost will bring "taxes up enormously for Langley... it's a public concern." She said there was little talk of alternative methods, such as charging sewer users through a metered system rather than by assessment. Mayor John Beales said the half a billion dollar sewage projects "are all we're discussing right now" and nothing will be done until funding comes from Ottawa and Victoria. Coun. John Campbell said "Langley leads with the least effect on the Fraser", but "we have to do something. These projects will be a benefit to all." He also suggested that "we should treat it like a utility" and one of the GVRD suggestions, to charge users by "volume strikes me as exceptionally fair." Still, Campbell said it would cost Langley property owners an average of $300 to $400 each per year to participate. On a related issue, Coun. John Fairall will lead New Democrats ALDERGROVE - Fraser Valley West New Democrats held their nominating convention on January 31, and elected Lynn Fairall, a 44 year old, single parent and employee assistance program consultant to be their candidate for the next federal election. Contesting the nomination were Gladys Brown, Lynn Fairall and Rod Reid. Lynn Fairall was elected on the first ballot, receiving more than fifty percent of the votes cast Fairall, in her address to the meeting, focused on several issues. The first was the importance of integrity and advocacy in the role of a Member of Parliament Lack of trust in their elected representatives is an important issue across Canada. In addressing NAFTA, Fairall pointed out that 250 manufacturing jobs in this community have recently been lost to the U.S. due to tlie Free Trade Agreement. She also expressed concern that the North America Free Trade Agreement could jeopardize the agricultural sector. In addressing taxation, Lynn Fairall affirmed the New Democrats pledge . to replace the G.S.T. with a fair taxation policy which would shift the burden from those who can least Lynn Fairall afford it. Ian Waddel, Member of Parliament for Port Moody-Coquitlam brought greetings from New Democrat leader Audrey McLaughlin and the caucus. He indicated that this is going to be an. important election because the voters are looking for a real change. Fraser Valley west is no longer a safe seat for the Tories and New Democrats consider it winnable. ON POLICING Two administrations will 'walk together' LANGLEY - A suggestion from their counterparts at city hall that a joint police committee be established warmed the hearts of municipal council, Monday. City administrator R.DO/ilson wrote that the committee had a precedent in the form of a joint recreation committee currently existing, and would benefit both districts in the administration of the policing contract, "in place of each municipality going in their own respective direction." Wilson said, "The committee could also make recomrtisfhV dations to each council with resp>ect to budget levels. It was noted (by city council) that the collective policing costs in each municipality, which include RCMP contract, civilian salary and building operations costs, are much larger than all other joint costs combined." However, the two munftat-' palities and their councils have long differed on the matter of amalgamating the two municipalities, and Wilson noted that should the city's outstanding application to the Attorney General to separate the detachment comes to fruition, "then obviously we won't require a joint police committee." Coun. John Scholtens, who has long championed the notion of amalgamating the city and township, thought it, "an excellent idea to work together" and perhaps the two "will wake up and amalgamate." Councilors agreed that the committee suggestion was, in Coun. Muriel Arnason's words, "veryjpositive," and should be followed through. Scholtens said problems with the recycling of glass, tin and plastic were coming to fight with the recent dumping of 100 truck- loads of glass and tin on a Cloverdale farm. He said he predicted this situation a year .ago when the GVRD mandated that garbage flow be reduced 50 percent, and asked how much of it was being cleaned and put out by residents only to be crushed into landfill sites. "It's a real shame," he said, calling for an increase to the deposit system to include all glass and tin. "We have to create markets for it or we'll have midnight dumpers." Campbell said that 99 percent of the blue box material goes to secondary use, much of it to Asian recycling operations. There are also indications that the provincial government will enlarge the deposit system in the coming year. Crash claims life ALDERGROVE - A young Aldergrove man is dead after his car collided headfirst with a gravel truck, Feb. 3- Dead is Christopher Dahl, 17. The truclc driver, Terry Goddard, 36, was taken to hospital with minor injuries and released. Police said they believe that Dahl was reaching for his lunch and this distraction caused his car to drift into the oncoming lane. Dahl was eastbound in his 1988 Chevrolet Sprint, in the 26500-block of 16 Avenue at about ten minutes to 4 p.m. when the accident occurred. Police said weather condition were good, and that speed or alcohol were not contributing factors. Dahl died instantly.

Political f>arrai<||te^ refuses to say'I do' SURREY - Christian Heritage party candidate Ed Vanwoudenberg has taken his battle against proposed federal legislation to permit same-sex marriages one §tep further. Vanwoudenberg, the party's executive director and a candidate for the Fraser Valley \&est riding, says he hopes to take a petitidrfiopposing the" legislation to justice minister Pierre Blais this March. He has circulated letters and petitions outlining the argument against homosexual marriages to all the churches in the'riding and he expects a positive and overwhelming feedback from valley parishioners. Vanwou- \ denbei-g told The Star that he will be travelling to Ontario in spring and has asked the justice ministry for a meeting on the issue. The proposed legislation was Ed Vanwoudenberg tabled last year by former minister Kim Campbell, recently shuffled to the defense ministry. Vanwoudenberg can be reached at 576-6858. Agricultural Association... From front In other news, lhe association re-elected Burt Mazerall as president. Vice-president is Dorla Malo, treasurer is Irene Campbell and secretary is Phyllis Hamberg. Hamberg told The Star that interest is growing in the association. "We're really excited and absolutely happy over the headway we're making." Malo is currently at work on the prize book for the Fall Fair, and the association is hosting a membership drive during Heritage Week, Feb. 15 to 21 in Aldergrove Mall. "We'll be there to talk to people and to recruit new members." Their annual plant and bake sale fundraiser returns in May. The Aldergrove Agricultural Association meets the first Thursday of every month, 7:30 p.m., in the office of Aldergrove Arena. The public is welcome to attend, and membership is $1 a year. Rural plan... From front Coun. John Campbell questioned the expense of individual letters, also noting that the bylaw would "bring the law in concurrence with our past practice; bring the treatment in line with the reality." He asked community development director Kurt Alberts whether it qualified as "actual downzoning." Alberts said the only change would be to make minimum parcel sizes 20 acres rather than 4.2 acres in the rural area. Campen's suggestion that the letters be included with the mailout of tax notices was too late, said Campbell, adding that "it would conflict with the lynching." Godfrey said the intention to proceed with the open houses and public hearing with some haste would ideally see it pass before summer holidays. Mayor John Beales said the legal notices in the newspapers should place emphasis on the public's need to attend the open houses to get the background they need before the public hearing stage.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 VANCOUVER - Elements in the provincial Liberal party are calling for a new leadership race and some are courting \&ncou- ver mayor Gordon Campbell f°r thejob. The Comox \alley rkiing association has called for leader Gordon Wilson's resignation. Wilson hasn't always pleased all those in the Liberal party but has led the party through very trying years, culminating with the sur-"' prise victory of 17 Liberal MLA's in 1991. He also spearheaded the party's call for a "no" vote in the October national referendum, which it turned out, was in keeping with the thinking of the majority of voters. However, as opposition party, the Liberals' performance has not lived up to the expectations of many, and some see Wilson to blame for this. For his part, Campbell says he has no interest in anything but running for another term as Vancouver mayor in 1993. Wilson has not expressed any interest in stepping down, either. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Gary Farrell-Collins recently resigned as party whip, citing a personal difference with Wilson. Farrell-Collins said of the talk of a leadership race: "Maybe it's a good sign; people believe in the Liberal party." The fracture of the so-called "free enterprise vote" between Social Credit faithful and the Liberal supporters was the major cause of the NDP's sweep of the 1991 elections. Popular support for the NDP actually dropped from the previous election, but the splintered support for the Socreds and Liberals helped the NDP win an unprecedented 51 seats, jk^; Since the election, further fracturing occurred when Peter Dueck quit the remaining.seven Socreds to sit as independent, awaiting the birth of a new free enterprise coalition, and Liberal David Mitchell also chose to quit and sit as an "indepenctent Liberal." Wilson's leadership was questioned again this week when MLA Allan Warnke announced he's boycotting caucus meetings until the legislature resumes sitting in March, after a bitter argument between him and Wilson. Rumors may run rampant of popular support for a coalition, but it appears to be a distant possibility yet. However, Socred party membership remains high at about 50,000, and their fundraising to pay off election debt has been quite successful. Meanwhile, the Liberals' party; membership is about ten percent of the Socred numbers and the Liberals have not been able to raise the kind of money they need Liberal delegates at their April 30-May 2 convention in \foncou- ver's Hyatt Regency hotel must vote at least 35 percent in favor of a leadership review for one to be called. Coincidentally, the hotel will also be the site of a $125-a-plate Socred fundraising dinner, April 28. Former Fort Langley-Aldergrove Socred MLA, Dan Peterson said he's been impressed with party leader Jack Weisgerber's performance, especially considering his miniscule caucus, over the past year. However, he hasn't seen any real moves toward consolidation of the free enterprise vote between Socreds and Liberals. Man charged in Simmonds kill l^tllpEY - David Walter Schlender, 39, has been charged with second-degree murder in the case of the^iteath of Sian Simmonds, 19. Simmonds, formerly of Langley, was an employee of a Langley restaurant. She was found dead in her Surrey basement suite, two weeks ago. Police are also looking into reports that the attack of a friend^ and co-worker of Simmonds' was connected ' Gena Beckley, 24, was. asleep in her Langley city basement suite last July, when she was awakened by an intruder who beat her about her head with a two-by-four. Public asked to comment on plan BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District is taking its major plans and initiatives to the public for comment as part of a comprehensive consulation program that is the first of its kind in the region. Creating Our Future: Critical Choices was approved by the GVRD board Jan. 29, 1993- Topics for discussion at the May 15 public meetings are the Air Quality Management Plan, Liquid Waste Management Plan, the Regional Strategic Plan, the Solid Waste Management Plan Review, the Drinking Water Quality Improv.2m.2nt Plan, the Major Parks Plan, and hospital construction. The May 15 meetings are set for locations in Burnaby, Richmond, Vancouver, Surrey, North Vancouver and Port Coquitlam. All will be linked by video, and live cable will bring the discussion into homes across the region. A conference phone line will be set uo to record feedback and questions, and a newspaper insert will be distributed to households throughout the region explaining the regional issues and critical choices being considered. "Creating Our Future gave thepub- lic the opportunity to tell us what they would like. The Critical Choices Consultation program will give them the opportunity to tell us what if anything they would like to put off now that they know the price." said GVRD chair Gordon Campbell.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 Now Is the chance By KURT LANGMANN After listening to all the apologists for ICBC president Robyn Allan's driving record, including "Rocket" Allan herself, it occurs to me that we have a revolutionary solution to pretty well all of society's problems in one fell swoop. Never mind all the high-falutin' talk about what a good job she's done as interim president of the crown corporation. She's given too much credit for changes that are result of countless committees and legal advisors. There's no real jeopardy, either, as everyone knows that ICBC is not just an insurance company: its other divisions are the lucrative automotive salvage business and a huge legal department that's second to none. Unlike other corporate presidents, she's in no real personal danger of a lawsuit directed against a corporation. And just exactly how much leadership is she providing when she is in the position of being able to lever a nine percent premium increase against all users regardless of their individual driving record, while telling all suppliers that they aren't allowed to increase their billings to the crown corporation because of its austerity program? Anyone in charge or a monopoly can do that. Its ironic to watch the New Democrats piously telling us that they would never stand for porkbarrel patronage, then once they're in power they do the same as ever with the excuse that everybosdy else does it that way. And yet, here's a revolutionary solution staring them all right in the face and they don't see it. Simply put, let's appoint all of B.C.'s 3-million people as president of ICBC, paying every one of us $135,000 a year (dropping the perk of having ICBC pay our ICBC premiums, of course. That's siUy.). There's be no more accidents or speeding or other road negligence. Every one of us would follow Allan's example and clean up our act so we wouldn't lose our job. It worked for her, didn't it? What an example! We'd all assume responsibility for our own corporation. And with all of us making that kind of money, none of us would have trouble paying our taxes; heck, Mike, you can double them and wipe the deficit right out. We'd also be able to afford our ICBC, and because there'd no longer be accidents, it would register a profit so the rates could go down! Automobile manufacturers, from BMW on down, wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand for new cars, thereby easing the world recession. There's no longer be street kids or welfare moms or corporate bums: we'd all have a job with a guaranteed income and no need to pig out courtesy of the public treasury. We'd all be so grateful that we'd give the New Democrats a never-ending term in Victoria. Not that anyone would care: politicians would all have real jobs like the rest of us, and politics could once again become a respected hobby. The way I see it, it's a win-win proposition all the way round. If the "new democracy" can work for Allan, it'll work for all of us. Robin Hood was a failure Despite powerful evidence to the contrary, many North Americans still think central planning is the solution to our economic problems. Central planning crushed the economies of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Sweden and others. No one set out to ruin those economies. The opposite was the case: the intention was to use the power of government to distribute the benefits of the economic process more fairly. The idea was to ensure that all enjoyed prosperity.. The reality was to raise the number of the poor and lhe level of suffering. We know communism failed. Yet too many still believe in Robin Hood government: let politicians take wealth away from the rich and redistribute it according to a legislated plan. We also appear ignorant of what makes countries like Taiwan and Switzerland so prosperous. There is a relatively small gap between the rich and the poor in those countries. One reason is that their economies are dominated by small and medium-sized businesses. Both also have tax laws that are very favorable to capital. Sadly, ignorance of the real consequences of Robin Hood economics combined with ignorance of what really works will not produce bliss. It will only reduce our standard of living. -Dessauer's journal Safari was a hit Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of Marketing Services, we take this opportunity to thank you and all your staff for the effort and support that was given to the Canadian Underwater Safari.

In response to "snow help at all"s letter of February 4,1993, we the rural routers of Aldergrove delivered mail everyday of the snow fall to the boxes which were asccessible. Anyone with any common sense would know that a mail delivery car can not drive through 12 inches of snow without getting stuck, sliding into the ditch on running into a mailbox. We dont feel ifs necessary to warn the residents of Aldergrove in advance that yes, it does snow here and yes, maybe a shovelling job would be a good idea. If you had given some thought to your mailbox, you would have received your mail on the first day of the snowfall. So, DONT FORGET TO SHOVEL! Respectfully yours, FIONA, LINDA, AIT FEN, JOHN, MARY, LINDA, BRIAN, TERRY and LEONARD. P.S. to Annabelle, Posties are not permitted to get out of their vehicle at every box for security reasons. What's gov't, got in mind? Editor, The Star, Sir, While Canadians wait for a federal election call, voters need to familiarize themselves with potential election issu»ss, to protect against being swayed by appeals to ideology or tnyiatntf nntinivsa<t riw» miKlir orw-sH Last Octobervotersin Western Canada rejected the Charlottetown Accord. Of concern is further attempts by the federal government to achieve greater political integration: a more powerful central government: a unitary state that derogates from provincial governments' powers over the economy. Transfer payments from Ottawa to the provinces are severely constrained because of interest payments on the huge federal debt. Now provincial governments must make it on their own, to meet their constitutional obligations. Citizens of British Columbia should logically analyze any issues put forward by political parlfes in the campaign leading to the federal election, particularly policies dealing with political and economic integration, to assess whose interests are really being promoted. ELMER G.

We are grateful to you and your readers for helping to raise $1.44-milr lion during the campaign that ended January 31,1993. This represents a 1.4- per cent increase over last year's total. Christmas Seal donations fund advanced medical research into lung diseases such as lung cancer, asthma, and emphysema, as well as provide health education and community programs throughout B.C. On behalf of die B.C. Lung Association and the people who count on us, thank you again for your support J JJOHN BORTHWICK Volunteer President Editor, The Star, Sir, Currently great emphasis is placed to erase discrimination between race and gender of any kind. Discrimination purposely perpetrated to hurt our neighbor is a terrible thing and I oppose it with all my heart. However, I fear that we have lost sight of the fact that there exists a type of "discrimination" that is vital and that must be maintained at all cost. What I am referring to is the need to discriminate between what is right and what is wrong. Currently, parliament is entertaining legislation which if passed would giant family status to same sex "marriages". The small minority of Canadians who promote and advocate such life-styles are lobbying the government to make this the law of the land to end what they misname "discrimination" against them. I submit that here is where discrimination must be maintained at all cost. We must discriminate (make a choice) between what is right and what is wrong. Canada was founded upon Judeo-Christian principles that affirmed the importance of the traditional family unit. We are talking here about marriage between two people of the opposite sex, capable to provide care, comfort and guidance in a secure and loving environment to their own or adopted children. The proposed legislation would re-define this. Same sex "marriages" would give homo sexuals and lesbians the right to adopt children and further legitimize a relationship that holds no future. We are asked by certain politicians, and liberal media columnists to consider them a "discriminated" against minority. You can be sure that if such legislation passes, "Affirmative Action" will be called for to allow them to catch up. As your Christian Heritage Party candidate I am taking a stand against such recognition based on Biblical principles. I fully support the public awareness and petition campaign undertaken by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. I have appealed to the Minister of Justice to preserve the traditional family unit and oppose any attempt to weaken or re-define it I challenge the candidates of ihe other parties to make their positions known. I challenge our member of parliament to let us know where he stands. This is an issue where people of conviction must dare to stand on principles and let their constituents know what values they will defend on their behalf. I have petition forms available for anyone who would like to sign and circulate them among mends and mail them to the Minister of Justice. For further information call me at 574- 3456. E.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 1 Duecksays Cull should lighten up New plan may mean higher taxes MATSQUI - The former health minister says that an acceptable agreement can.be made with the province's doctors if current minister Elizabeth Cull is willing io eat a bit of crow. Peter Dueck, now an independent MLA, says that Cull should admit she made some mistake in her approach to ease relations between her and the doctors, or else watch B.C.'s health care system go "right down the tubes." The battle has seen 67 doctors opt out of the system, and the rest of the more than 6,000 sdoctors could follow this lead. Liberal health critic Linda Reid agreed the trend is alarming and must be dealt with soon. Dueck said, "The error was made when it was dictated to doctors that this is the cap and now it's been set, we can talk." Dueck said the previous government also set spending caps, but only after talking with the doctors, not before. "We cannot allow our health care system to disintegrate, to deteriorate any more." Dueck suggested that user fees Peter Dueck could be a positive solution to the funding crisis, provided that poorer people were not required to pay. He had praise for the development of community- based medical services, to curb costs: "I give her a lot of credit for other things she is doing. It will cost us more in the short term, but will save in the long run." • VANCOUVER - B.C's major health care providers have warned that ihe NDP government's massive restruc- turing of medicare could lead to higher taxes in many communities throughout the province. Representing the province's doctors, Dr. Steve Hardwicke, president of the B.C. Medical Association, was commenting on-the Ministry of Health's long-awaited "new directions" in health care, announced earlier by Minister of Health Elizabeth Cull. "It is a shot across the bow for already hard-pressed taxpayers," said Dr. Hardwicke, referring to Cull's admission that her ministry would fund only "core" medical services, and that anything extra would have to be funded at the community fevel. "This means that we will have different kinds of health care from region to region," predicted Dr. Hardwicke. "Weakhier areas will be in a better position to add to the basic services funded by Victoria, but it will mean higher property taxes for these areas. Less wealthy areas will be out of kick." Dr. Hardwicke also took issue with the health minister's claim that health costs had increased out of proportion to otrter government spending. "Five years ago, in 1988-89, B.C. spent 33.6 percent of its total spending on health," he said. "This year, it is estimated we will spend slightly less, 33.0 percent, on health. She seems to have set up a straw person, and then knocked it down." Dr. Hardwicke said the BCMA will study the massive changes being called for, and applauded the establishment of a provincial health cxiuncil, which was one of the BCMA's recommendations to the Royal Commission on Health Care and Costs. Taxpayer protest can bring results, says Joe Health reform needs participation VANCOUVER -B.C. citizens want to participate in the reform, renewal and decentralization of B.C.'s health system. Most importantly, community members want to be actively involved in the planning and decision making processes that affect health in local communities. The B.C. Ministry of Healths recently published "strategic direction for health" include creating opportunities for greater public participation in health planning and decision making. How can community members work together to address the health issues in their community? What does it mean to give more planning and decision making power to a community? And, if communities are to act as partners with government, what resources are needed to make citizen participation meaningful and effective? These questions were discussed at a recent series of workshops, Reform and Renewal of Our Health System: Getting Communities Involved. The workshops, funded by the Ministry of Health, and held in thirteen B.C. communities, brought together community members to discuss citizen involvertient in the health system: What is the current situation? What needs to change? Who should be involved? What resources will cx>m- munities need to do the job? Their - feedback is presented in a report to government and communities, which is now ready for distribution. Workshop participants from all over B.C. voiosd strong support for the planned decentralization of the health system, and agreed that citizens should play a major role in health planning and decision making. But, they cautioned, increased citizen participation requires that communities be provided with appropriate resources. In addition to funding concerns, participants outlined the need for community development staffing support, opportunities for community members to develop skills such as consensus building conflict resolution, group facilitation, as well as administrative and clerical staffing at die local level. According to workshop partici pants', the most important resource will be the provincial government's demonstration that it is committed to sharing power with communities, and will support theprocess in ways that are appropriate to each individual community. Community members believe that they can make a strong contribution to the reform and renewal of the health system, and that all citizens should have the opportunity to participate. Success will depend, however, on a clear commitment from government that local communties will be given real decision making power; and that government will be true partners with communities.

LANGLEY - The city's tax- fighting mayor, Joe Lopushinsky said the first-ever Canadian Taxpayers' Conference was a resounding success in all respects. Lopushinsky was a' speaker and panelist at the Jan. 22-24 event in Calgary, organized by the Canadian Taxpayers' Federation. "It is most apparent that people are fed up with governments and taxes," said Lopushinsky. He noted that the 400 participants from across the country travelled to Calgary at their own expense, while the Canadian Municipalities Convention "had only 790 elected politicians present all at public expense." There were 20 workshops covering various tax issues-, along with the subjects, of, structuring taxpayer associations and direct democracy. "The overwhelming majority 'agreed that they are overtaxed and abused by governments," said Lopushinsky. "This became abundantly clear in the speech-of Joel Fox, who is president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association. Speaking for their 250,000 membership, Mr. Fox told how the people of California forced the government to implement tax reductions. He then explained how the people stood up against the threats and intimidation tactics of the politicians and bureaucrats and won. "The conference generated Joe Lopushinsky three highly positive conclusions, which are: taxpayers are fed up and must pool their resources to fight government taxation; the politicians and bureaucrats must be educated to the fact that we have excessive taxation and we are overtaxed; things are going to change because people have the right to.vote!" Lopushinsky, who spearheaded a one percent property tax reduction.in Langley city last year, noted that in each of the • past 11 years, Canadian property taxes have risen faster than the consumer price index.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 Valley Gravel Sales Atom "A" Bruins, jubilant as they bring home another tournament championship, this one from Princeton. The boys were undeafed in all of their four games in an exhausting, but hard fought weekend of hockey. The team demonstrated good sportmanship, as they tied Princeton for the team with the lowest penalty minutes. - Janet Blair photo Bruins take Princeton by storm ALDERGROVE - On Friday Feb. 5, the Valley Gravel Sales Atom 'A' Bruins travelled to Princeton for a weekend tournament. After spending part of the evening in the motel pool and hot tub the Aldergrove boys were relaxed and ready to play the next morning. The VGS Bruins first opponent was a team from Sica- mous. The VGS Bruins scored early in the first when Josh Macknee set up B.J. Konschuh. The rest of the period contained some exciting hockey with both teams getting changes but neither was able to capitalize on them. The VGS Bruins again scored eariy in the second when Dustin Goodman avenging a slash across the neck in the first period put in Aldergrove's second goal. Assists to B.J. and Josh M Sicamous rallied after the second goal and managed to get two quick goals past netminder Josh Letkeman to tie the game up. Suddenly the VGS Bruins woke up and exploded for four unanswered goals before the second period was to end. The first of the four went to Scott Robinson, assists to Dustin and Paul Daley. Scott also got the second unassisted. At 6:13 B.J. took a nice pass from defenseman Tyler Perkins for the third goal and on the fourth the 3M line broke into the Sicamous end and after some nice passing Matt Roberts put the puck in the net. Assists to Mike Roberts and Mike Haber. The VGS Bruins continued to dominate the play in the third period Golf show VANCOUVER - The second annual Golf Show comes to the PNE Forum and Food Buildings this weekend.

Fifty-two seconds later Paul puts in his first of the game, assist to Dustin and at 6:55 Paul gets his second goal, assists to Scott and Chris Colonval. Final score Aldergrove 9, Sicamous 2. A few hours later the VGS Bruins took to the ice once more to play Westside. The Westside boys were an intimidating sight as they came on the ic« as they wssre a very big team and were rumoured to be very good. Aldergrove started off the game with a bang as B.J. took the puck from the opening face-off, broke into the Westside end and beat the Westside goaltender. There wasn't to be another goal scored until late in the serond period although both teams had a lot of good chances but were stymied by some very good goaltending at both ends. At 2:44 of the second Paul put in his third goal of the day assists to Dustin and Soott. The third period was another action packed one with neither team dominating the play. At 5:43 of the third Westside although playing one man short managed to get by the Aldergrove defense and drilled a shot past VGS Bruin's goalie Davis Parky. The Aldergrove boys managed to hang on to their one goal and the game ended with the score, Aldergrove 2, Westside 1 in a very entertaining game. Later that night all the teams in the tournament were back at the arena for a shoot out contest. Besides being a test of skills this was a time for all the boys to get together to get to know one another and have some fun. Two VGS Bruins did well in the contest with Ben Hen thorne winning the second place trophy and Chris Colonval coming in in the consulation round. The next morning Sunday Feb. 6, after getting a good nights sleep the boys were back at the arena to play Kamloops. Again the VGS Bruins found themselves taking on a very good team and with the aid of a very hot goaltender stoned Aldergrove's repeated attempts at goal scoring. Finally at 1:38 of the first, defense- man Steven Schulz put a nice pass right on the stick of Matt who in turn blasted the puck past the Kamloops goalie. Kamloops scored early in the second getting one by goalie Josh L. on ffrgfipwerplay. Eighteen more minutes of nail biting edge of your seat action was to go on before the buzzer to end the second period with a one all tie. Midway through the third period Matt was tripped up on the Kamloops blueline as he was breaking in all alone, the Kamloops goalie came way out of his net to make the save but Mike R. who was trailing on the play picked up the puck and tucked it into the empty net. Not to be out- done Kamloops once more tied up the game. Just under two minutes later Mike H. and Matt went into the Kamloops zone and after some fancy passing Mike H. put the puck in the net, assist to Matt. Kamloops continued to press but Aldergrove managed to hang on to win the game 3-2 and in doing so earned a spot in the 'A* division finals to be played later that afternoon. 4:50 Sunsday afternoon the VGS Bruins are taking to ice for the final time of the weekend to take on Surrey. Surrey started the game oft quickly scoring the first goal in less than two minutes, but a little under two minutes later Scott ties up the game. Assist to Paul. Six minutes later Paul gets his first of the evening, assists to Scott and Dustin. Surrey was to score once more before the end of the period to take a 2-2 tie into the second B.J.'s shorthanded goal (assist to Chris) eariy in the second period seem to take the wind out of Surrey's sails as the VGS Bruins were to score 6 unanswered goals before the end of the game. At 4:15 B.J. was to get his second of the night, assist to Dustin and a 2:04 Mike H put in Aldergrove's fifth goal, assist to Matt. The VGS Bruins continued to dominate in the third. Marc Windle picked up the first goal of the period after taking a pass from Tyler Perkins. Paul was to get his second goal of the game on the power play, assist to Scott. With just over two minutes left in the game Mike H. intercepted a Surrey pass and raced into the Surrey net to get Aldergrove's eighth goal shorthanded. Final score Aldergrove 8, Surrey 2. The VGS Bruins win their second tournament of the year undefeated! Great work boys! The VGS Bruins now return home this Thursday to start the play offs. After placing third in regular season play the VGS Bruins are looking forward to doing well in the play offs so come down on Thursday night and enjoy the action. Chris Colonval, playing great defence, adroitly moves his man out of scoring position as goalie, Josh Letkeman, looks on.

This was to increase the following year with the promise that it was only a temporary measure until a third ice surface was built in Langley. Langley and Aldergrove joined together to form a Midget "C" team as neither association had enough boys to form one each. Bantam house and Juvenile "C" interlocked with Abbotsford. The Aldergrove Association finally gained acceptance into Fraser Valley West after many failed applications. Neckguards were made mandatory in an effort to better protect the boys and equipment was inventoried and repaired. The Executive had more changes.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 Adventures to discover Olympic sailing heroes at Vancouver Boat Show VANCOUVER - Canada's two most successful competition sailors in 1992 will mcke daily appearances at this month's Vanoouver International Boat Show, being held February 10 through 14 at B.C. Place Stadium. Ross MacDonald and crewmate Eric Jesperson, who won the bron2e medal for Canada in the 'Star' sailboat class at the '92 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, will appear each day at the B.C. Tel Mobility Marine Facts The- • atre to tell boat show patrons about their Olympic experiences, and to answer questions about just what's involved in international sailing competitions. For their prowess in handling their 22-foot Star class sailboat at Barcelona, Macdonald and Jesperson were recently named 1992's Rolex Sailors of the Year by the Canadian Yachting Asso- ciatioon. Teamed for the past 18 months, Macdonald (a Vancouver resident) and Jesperson (from Sidney) have also won national competitions and have placed very highly at the world-class racing levels. MacDon ald won his first Sailor of the Year accolade in 1990, and also skippered a Star for Canada int the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He just missed a medal there when he lost a mast in the final race. MacDonald and Jesperson's 1992 Barcelona story had 'dramatic comeback' stamped all over it. At the start of the final race of the seven- race series, the British Columbians were ranked a lowly seventh, and a medal seemed impossible. But their second-place finish in that final race dramatically put them onto the medal podium, alongside the American gold winners and the New Zealan- ders who won the silver. Ross MacDonald says he and Jesperson both enjoy meeting the public and fielding questions about their racing experiences. If you're a racing sailor yourself, or someone simply interested in how the best in the world get their jobs done, you'll find their daily presentations informative and fascinating.

This goal was the result of a fine team effort by B. J. Konschuh, Paul Daley and Dustin Goodman. The Aldergrove team won the championship as they beat Surrey , 8-2. - Janet Blair photo Bruins tackle Semiahmoo, 4-3, in penalty-riddled game ALDERGROVE - Thursday, Feb. 4, and the Valley Gravel Sales Atom 'A' Bruins are on home ice to take onSemiahmoo. The VGS Bruins have won one game against Semiahmoo this year and knew if they were to win another one they were going to have to work hard. Trying a different strategy the Aldergrove icoaehes moved Chris Colonval to center and B.J. Konschuh back on defense. Semiahmoo was to score the first goal of the night blasting a shot past VGS Bruins goalie Davis Parley from the blueline. Thirty two seconds later Paul Daley was to tie up the game with a beautiful backhand shot, assists to Scott Robinson and Dustin Goodman. Semiahmoo got their second goal of the period on the power play to take a one goal lead into the second. Deciding not to take any chances Chris and B.J. went back to their usual spots for the rest of the game and it seemed to work when at 9:36 Mike Haber tied up the game, assists to Matt Roberts and Mike Roberts. Semiahmoo was to take the lead again just seconds later, but not ones to give up Mike H. once more ties up the game when his shot bounces off a Semiahmoo defenseman into the net. Assists to Matt and Steven Schulz. With just over a minute left in the second period Dustin Goodman puts the VGS Bruins ahead by one, assists to Paul and Tyler Perkins. The third period was again a very exciting one as both teams tried in vain to get another goal. Just as it looked like the VGS Bruins would win the game and with only a few seconds left on the clock Semiahmoo in desperation shoots the puck from their own blue line at the Aldergrove net and somehow netminder Davis Parley mishandled the puck and it got by him but was stopped by the goalies best Mend the goal post. (After the game Davis was heard to say "I knew it would miss the net"). The VGS Bruins win the game 4-3. The dark side of the game was all the penalties that were taken. Semiahmoo had 22 minutes in penalties and Aldergrove had 15 minutes, so a lot of the game was played with one team or the other short- handed. The VGS Bruins now head to Princeton for the weekend for a tournament and are helping to do well there. OPEN LATE MONTH END Financing O.A.C. 857-1112 27030 Fraser Hwy.

FEBRUARYTl. 1993 Pee Wee B's end season with win ALDERGROVE - Hourglass Pee Wee B's had to tear themselves away from the superbowl game for a road trip to Coquitlam, Sunday January 31. The Coquitlam team got three quick goals in the first period, typical of past performances, for a 1st period score of 3r0. Wes Schwartz, unassisted, finally found the spot with a beauty that brought 'Grove fans to their feet! Coquitlam answered with 2 more in that period, ending the second period with 'Grove trailing 5-1. Coquitlam deposited another pair, before Jason Ballantyne assisted by Delayne Dupuis and Kevin Garry- Roberts assisted by Cliff Carlsen put up two more markers for 'Grove for a final score of Coquitlam 7 -'Grove Disabled pay more LANGLEY - A letter from a woman who couldn't understand why disabled seniors pay more than able-bodied seniors for W.C. Blair pool programs has been referred to the joint facilities committee. Trude Hartner wrote the township to ask why Blair's adult day care centre fees were higher at $2.25, and increasing to $2.50, when ordinary seniors only pay $1.50 to $1.75. Coun. Aubrey Searle found it "strange" but administrator Jim Godfrey said the discrepancy lay in the fact that the disabled program required additional staff. "It's only higher for the instruction time (component)." 'Grove goalkeepers were busy during this match, stopping 31 shots, while the home team goalie made 17 saves. Monday, February 1, found the team hosting Seafair B2 at the local arena. This time it was Aldergrove putting in a couple of quick insurance goals in the first period. Cliff Carlsen put in both of them assisted by Darren Caldwell and Wes Schwartz, Caldwell again and Malt Holmes. Second period Delayne Dupuis fed by Carlsen made the score 3-0, finally Seafair got one in. Adam Johannesson with a nice pass from Kevin Garr - Roberts, put in a fourth goal, making the final score 4-1 for 'Grove. Goalies John Enns and Geny Tucker stoppiad 15 shots, while the visitors stopped 32 shots, on the feisty Aldergrove team! Saturday February 6, the team had a gorgeous sunny day for their bottle drive, ft was a great success-thanks to great participation from players and parents and the wonderful cooperation of all the homes they called on. Special thanks to all contributors and especially to Charlie Fox, principal at Betty Gilbert School, for allowing us to use the parking lot, and to the liquor store, Canada Safeway, Super Valu, and Dean's Market for so courteously accepting all the cans and bottles we brought to you.

Federation of Police Officers in a number of B.C. communities, over the deadlocked negotiations between 'Vancouver city and its police officers.

If you wish to stay healthy as you age, nurses recommend that you treat your body with special care. We may be only "as old as we feel," but even if you have the mental attitude of a teenager, you might be wiser not to gorge yourself on hamburgers and fries on your Golden wedding anniversary. How and what we eat is more important in our later years, and we can't turn back the clock. While no one has yet discovered the Fountain of Youth, many products promise to keep us young. However, none have proven to work. So before you buy special vitamins, creams, foods or mineral products, think twice. There is no single answer to staying as healthy as you can while you get older. In fact, as we age each of us becomes more unique in our needs. Our diet is very important. Research has not yet shown that older people need different kinds of food than younger people to stay healthy. But it is important for us to eat the right foods. Make sure your diet includes enough breads and cereals, fruits and vegetables and meat or meat substitutes. To find what's right for you from each food group, ask for a Canada Food Guide from your local health unit or public library. Older people should definitely watch their weight more carefully because they don't use as much physical energy. On average, after the age of 50, people use five percent less energy every decade. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary weight gain, reduce your food intake as you get older. Your health will benefit if you can keep your weight in check. Sore hips, knees and feet become worse with additional weight and so do conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Limit your regular intake of sweets, butter, cream and fried foods. The occasional rich desert is not usually a problem. For snacks, though, choose fruits and vegetables instead of crackers, sweets or pastries. Watch out for your emotions and moods. Sometimes we eat poorly when we're lonely, depressed or bored and, by not eating well, we make ourselves feel even worse. Sometimes we can become happier when wee make up our minds to take better care. Even changing your routine can help. If you usually eat alone, try to share more meals with other people. If you are uncertain about your dietary needs, talk over your situation with your doctor, a community health nurse, or a community nutritionist.

The Land Shapes us - We Shape the Land by photographer John Flanders, and Meditations of Banality by photographer David Hfynsky. These two photographers depict the bizarre and the ordinary but each has their own unique style. John Flanders' images in The Land Shapes us - We Shape the Land speak of beauty and admiration for the people from the Third World. The Third World is often misunderstood and thought of as a place full of despair. Flanders' photographs provide a point of departure for understanding the struggles and ordinary needs of those people who live in impoverished countries. Meditations of Banality will challenge the viewer to examine commonplace objects in a mannerwhich makes them bizarre. This exhibit is full of excitement for colour, linear pattern, and sensory effects. David VANCOUVER WEEKEND Clean and comfortable Warm and Friendly Central location and Affordable.

Rock the boat f| VANCOUVER - Paul Watson will be "RocJcing the Boat" again this Saturday night with a fundraising Anti-Whalers' Ball to help the Sea Shepherd Society. The event is staged by local bands, Econoline Crush and Copyright (Circle C), along with Seattle's Confused, at the Commodore Ballroom. Watson was recently in the news, after claiming credit for the sinking of a "pirate" whaling ship in Norway. It was in retaliation for Norway's decision to resume whaling this spring, despite that it would violate a ban upheld by the International Whaling Commission. The benefit will help send two Sea Shepherd ships to the North Atlantic to intervene in whaling activities. Tickets are available at Ticket- master and Community Box Office locations. The township of Langley recently adopted a master plan which re-orga- nLsed its parks and recreation division. This reorganization called for a global approach to providing "active living" services to residents of Lan- gley.

Jackson Davies to get "trashed" VANCOUVER - BCTV literally trashed Jackson Davies recently at a local landfill site for his part in the lighthearted special, "Garbage Doesnt Have To Be A Dirty Word", a television show co-produced by BCTV and BC Environment to air Saturday, February 13 at 7:30 pjn. lhe program takes a "wharfs wrong with this picture approach" by contrasting Darrel Finster with his neighbour Harvey Bright, both played by Vancouver actor Jackson Davies. While Harvey is tagged "Frissnd of the Environment", Darrel is labelled "Environment's Worst Enemy" and is set atop a landfill site to highlight his ssxorbitant contribution to the 500,000 truck loads of waste dumped in B.C. each year. The point of the program - each one of us can make a difference to the environment - is made by comparing the extravagance and exces- siveness of Danel's half-hour showers and over-shrinkwrapped pantry to bulk-food buyer and compost- champion Harvey.

Fort building gets favorable nod FORT LANGLEY - A Queen Anne residential style building to be used for medical offices won the support of council, Monday. The development permit will allow the three storey building next to the cemetery at 9089 Glover Road2|Coun. Muriel Arnason expressed concerns over parking but one of the proponents, Romas Aleliunas said he had agreements with neighbors, occupied by a church and a vacant lot, to use some of their property for parking. - Administrators noted that there are no parking requirements for developers in Fort Langley, in any case. Coun. John Scholtens said the proposal would be a "real asset" for Fort Langley and he "admired the stamina" of those who would invest in the historic town. He also noted that the Fort is "still designed for walkers" and that he loathed the idea of blacktopping everything in sight, anyway. Mayor John Beales chortled and asked Scholtens if he rode his bike to the meeting that night. The permit got unanimous approval from council. Aldergrove seals raise $7,033 VANCOUVER - Aldergrove residents raised $7,033 for the 1992 Christmas Seal campaign that closed at the end of January, according to Margaret Gervan, the British Columbia Lung Association's volunteer director for the area.

"Your generosity contributed to a provincial total that was 1.4 per cent higher than last year's. "Although we didnt reach our gpal of $1.5 million, your Lung Association recognizes that these are difficult economic times, and we thank those Aldergrove supporters who oould help our work for lung health." Money raised by Christmas Seals funds advanced medical research in B.C., as well as health education and community programs throughout the province. Gervan noted that the B.C.

All seats are reserved mk Fred Pepin had a few problems in his three-hour effort of moving the Shortreed log cabin to its new home in Aldergrove Lake Park, but all in all, the snags were minor. The cabin is in amazingly good shape considering it was built in 18%. When donor, Hank Parkin couldn't get his hands on house jacks to lift it, he took a bulldozer blade to each corner and actually lifted each comer and blocked it up without causing the entire building to fold up and-fall apart. They sure don't build houses like they used to. With the help of the GVRD, Alder Grove Heritage Society members, Aldergrove Elks and the Verrault family, the move to a new foundation near Zero Avenue went quite smoothly Aldergrove Elks spokesman, Tom Miller told The Star that the club will soon build a children's camp on the five acre site and the cabin will be part of a history experience for the kids. Miller also noted that in his youth he was a good friend of the Shortreed family and sometimes slept over at the house, while the Shortreed family worked on building their new home. Miller took photos of the move which he plans to show to Tom Shortreed when Miller visits ^ him in California this summer. "I know he'll get a kick out of this." -Kurt Langmann photo W§$. Historic cabin relocated to park ALDERGROVE - The local historic Shortreed cabin will have a new home in Aldergrove Lake Regional Park this week. The move was made Feb. 10. The Greater Vancouver Regional District, the Alder Grove Heritage Society, and the Elks Recreation Children's Camp Society are co-operating to move, preserve, and restore the osntury old, 33 square metre cabin. Built by pioneer Thomas Shortreed in the 1880s, the log structure is a superb example of how setdssrebuik their homes. The cedar roofs pitch is reminiscent of early Fraser Valley buildings. The cabin was lived in until the 1960s. Shortreed's talent as a violin maker is reflected in the quality of the building's dovetailed joints. No nails are visible. A carved log stairway provides access to an upper floor. Located on private properly near 272 Street, the cabin was deeded to ihe Heritage Society from the Parkin family. Members of the Aldergrove Elks Club have just completed the cabin's foundation in the southeast corner of Aldergrove Lake Regional Park. When the cabin is relocated here, the Heritage Society will transfer ownership to the GVRD. The GVRD will lease the cabin to the Elks Society to incorporate into its proposed children's camp. It may be used as a showroom for camp memorabilia. The GVRD will apply to the District of Matsqui to have die cabin des- . ignated as a heritge municipal building. A commemorative plaque placed on the cabin by the Heritage Society will provide park visitors with historical information. On "saving Langley's heritage" FORT LANGLEY - On Thursday, February 18, from 7:30 to 9 pm., at the Centennial museum a public workshop will be held for those interested in the preservation of Langley's heritage. Saving Langley's Heritage Workshop will be conducted by Sue Mamun, Langley's Heritage and Arts supervisor and Marion Tucker, from the Langley Heritage Society. As restrictions and processes will need to be developed to prepare a plan for saving langley's heritage, those interested in our heritage need to be sure to express their thoughts and wepmWmmW&mWm*^ shop is an opportunity for this to occur. Through the "Langley Tomorrow" process langley residents defined its heritage as not only the built environment but rural roads, trees, views and vistas, Fort Langley, Murrayville, and the Museum, lhe management of all of these assets in the fa<re of pressures of urbanization and tight dollars is the challenge to be dealt with in this workshop. This workshop should be of interest to heritage home owners, long time residents and new comers who chose Langley because of its unique Heritage Week starts Feb. 15 with displays By DORA CHAPMAN ALDERGROVE - The Alder Grove Heritage Society will be holding daily heritage week celebrations from Monday, February 15 to Sunday, February 21 at the Aldergrove Centre Mall commencing each day at 10 a.m. (next to Radio Shack).

THE ALDERGROVE STAR. FEBRUARY 11. 1993 13 Public works yard scrutinized MURRAYVILLE - Plans for a new municipal public works yard are pricey and have some opposition from neighnors, but council gave their approval to go ahead with the legalities to build the yard at 4646 - 224 Street. The township has proposed a P-1A zone to allow a "municipal operations centre" on the northerly 10.87 acres of the property for non-farm purposes, subject the Land Commission's and Ministry of Transportation and Highways' assent. Coun. Muriel Arnason questioned whether it was the "cheapest and most suitable" location, noting that the township will be "paying a lot of interest. I hate interest on public debt." Council also heard delegate David VanderZalm, owner of the new Art Knapp's Plantland directly north of the proposed public works yard. He worried about an "eyesore" directly behind his business and asked for assurance that the landscape buffer promised along 224 Street would also be provided between his property and the new yard. Another neighbor, Lucia Tosci asked that a standing western red cedar hedge on the property not be removed if and when the yard is built. 'Td like to see it stay." Administrator Jim Godfrey said it was still too early in the process to discuss these technicalities, but promised that neighbors would be notified in time to assure "compatible" measures are taken in construction. "We want to be good neighbors." Council fears coastal oil spills LANGLEY - Coun. John Campbell's sarcastic remark that he's "sure the maritime community fears the motions of Langley municipal council" brought out a chorus of gufaws from his colleagues and the gallery, Monday. It may be a futile measure but the district is now on record with its demand that all oil tankers operating in B.C. waters be twin- hulled. Earlier, council had also suggested that vessels operating with single-screws be eliminated, but changed their minds when it was pointed out that vessels with more than one screw were virtually non-existent. Campbell also remarked that most accidents were caused by other failures, and primarily by the crew's incompetence. It was not noted by council or staff that structural engineers are not universally in favor of twin hulls as a safety measure, either. Some have argued that in the event of a crash into rocks, twin hulls can easily be both pierced with the resulting loss of cargo into the ocean. There is a growing movement calling for a large number of compartments or holds within a vessel, so that if one hold is pierced it would be the only one to leak. This oould also reduce the chance of the vessel sinking and the safety of crew is improved say scientists.

My boyfriend was watching some game on TSN so I started cleaning up the dishes. Iwas gone no more than 15 minutes and when I returned (you guessed it) almost all the chocolates were gone.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 Workshops for the family Judie Suda (left) and Selma Turner of Mount Lehman have won Challenge and You, B.C. Woman to Woman Magazine's business plan contest, for the plan they created to launch TLC HomeCare. Home care with "TLC" MOUNT LEHMAN - TLC Home Care is a new company in the Abbots- fond-Matsqui area founded and directed by Selma Turner, RDN, and Judie Suda RN, both former employees of MSA Hospital. The duo felt that quality care in people's homes is essential now due to shrinking hospital budgets and the increasing demands placed on Canada's health care system by the aging population.. As TLC begins, it will bring much more than quality health care. In addition to nursing care services, TLC will provide a wide variety of services for their clients, i.e. homecleaning, meal preparation, transportation, shopping, lawn mowing, house sitting, even errands and deliveries, said Turner. But perhaps the most valuable service TLC provides is - Tender Loving Care. TLC staff are chosen not only for their qualifications but if they are happy and cheerful and sincerely care for others. It is this philosophy that will make the difference in people's lives. TLC provides private nursing service in hospitals and long term care faciliti«3s. Families often wish more individual attention or companionship for their loved ones. Caregivers too, often need a break from looking after a spouse or a parent with a disease such as Alzheimer's, which can be very exhausting. TLC offers special Home Support Plans for child care, seniors, pregnant moms (pre-natal and postpartum) as well as those suffering with Alzheimer's disease. These plans are planned to meet needs in each of these areas and also offers reduced rates. ?/^S ILCishcstingacli^playhSeverroaks shopping center, February 15 - 21. Information about these services plus a free blood pressure clinic will be offered. Selma and Judie sent their business plan for TLC HomeCare Ltd. to a contest held by BC Womens to Womens Magazine and won over 100 other entries.

More local mail to be streamlined VANCOUVER - As announced on May 21, 1992, starting on March 15, 1993, all mail originating in Mission, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Aldergrove and Langley will be brought directly into the mechanized processing plant in Vancouver for maximum efficiency and faster sor- tation and distribution. Local mail will then be returned to these locations for local distribution. This streanrJining eliminates a manual sortation step as Canada Post gains the most efficient use of its mechanized capabilities. This change will ensure that local mial is sorted and delivered well within the Corporation's two-day commitment. Canada Post Corporation expects an improved performance in the delivery of regional and national mail as a result of these changes. Communications officer Ilona Beiks said the changes will impact approximately 30 positions. "However, in previous rationalizations, thae were no employee lay-offs. Once again our objective is to rationalize without lay-offs. Some employees will be affected and in all cases the job security provisions of their respective collective agreements will apply." In September 1992, the streamlining of the mail processing network was successfully implemented in Cache Creek, Kamloops, Williams Lake, Quesnel, Prince George, Terrace, Kiti- mat, Prince Rupert, Powell River, V<3r- non, Kelowna, and Pen tic tion. As a result of these changes, service performance has generally improved. Currently, Pacific Division, which includes the above-mentioned communities, has recorded strong results in performance monitoring by an outside firm, Ernst and Young, which reports quarterly on progress according to national delivery standards. In their last public report, Pacific Division rated 98 percent on time deliv- ery performance. ___ g The cast of stars includes Jim Byrnes, Dee Daniels, Charlotte Diamond, Blake Emmons, David Foster, Paul Janz, Dame Vera Lynn, Bob McGrath, Patty Weaver and Warren Wiebe.

The months of December and January, tho' cold and stormy at times were good months saleswise. We have an excellent stock of children's clothes and plenty of warm jackets and coats. Come and browse in No. 2 store. You never know what interesting trea- sures you may find there. As for readers there's no end of good books both fictional and factual. Workers talked over ideas and different problems that come up and finally donated $3,000 to various charities and local enaeavours. $500 to the Variety Club, $500 to the Rugby team that are going to England and France to compete. $500 to a music project at Parkside School and $500 to the March of Dimes. $1,000 was donated for the Scholarship Fund.

The Kinettes are giving the workers an Appreciation Dinner on March 7. The Kinettes are very appreciative of the generosity of the Thrift Shop to their organization. We are still wondering where the book case and books belonging to the Thrift Shop but stored in the O.A.P. hall has disappeared to. No one seems to have come up with the answer. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this piece of furniture let us know. Once again your support means a lot and we thank you all.

V5G 3H2 Obituary A view from Hospital Hill Volunteers play an essential role in the successful Lifeline Program at Langley Memorial Hospital, accoid- ino tn Stella Kirk ttv» Tifiplirw Pmiwam Manager, "Without thseirvaluable contribution to this program, the Hospital could not offer this non-profit community service to residents in the Langley area," she said. "Each volunteer feels great ownership towards the program, and it's difficult to find words to describe their commitment", said Kirk. "Thirteen volunteers devoted a total of 780 hours to the program in the past year. They all care about this community and its residents and find it very rewarding to know they are helping someone return home to a safer environment". Lifeline is a personal emergency response system that enables individuals to live independently and securely in their own homes, when they might otherwise have to consider some form of institutional care. Lifeline subscribers are provided with two pieces of equipment. One is a small water proof Personal Help sjiii mBm \\¥ lllgp It's a Moving World! And we are here to serve its moving population.

There, trained monitoring staff are alerted and can have immediate voice contact with the subscriber and can arrange for appropriate help at any time of the day or night. Lifeline volunteers complete a variety of tasks. They conduct home assessments where all necessary information is gathered; they arrange for installation of equipment by Tele- phone Pioneers, and they make monthly test calls to update records and check equipment. Kirk concludes: "Our volunteers form a very important part of the LMH team, and make the difference in offering services such as Lifeline to our community".

Please note the error in last week's column. The two ladies and the two gentlemen had their pictures switched. Our apologies for the mixup. This week's question: You've got an opinion, right? Well here's the place to express it! What's your views on the Robyn Allan ICBC thing? Karen Delaronde: It doesn't affect me so I don't mind, it doesn't bother me. Amanda Brown with Scott, 8 and Joel, 4: I think that she should be taking responsibility for all that she's incurred. She shouldn't get off just because she works there. I dont think she should lose her job over it, I don t think she's blown that. But people might want to look into it and make sure she's doing a good job now. You can't tell people to do one thing and then not do it yourself. Kathie Caterer with Melissa, 9, Jesse, 6, Samantha, 4: I think she should give up fiej-position, it doesnt make much sense to me. How can you be out there lecturing people about how to drive safely and all the taxpayers are paying her insurance costs! We have a hard enough time paying our own. Ryan Ehly: I think she's setting a little bit of a poor example for the drivers that are being soaked with high rates. Kathleen McQuinlan: Well I dont think that she should get away with it, die rest of us people can't, and just because they're in a different money bracket they should have no more right than we do. Don Avery: I think the question is 'Is a fox looking after the chickens?1 I just wonder how they go about interviewing or screening somebody for a position of trust and responsibility. I think that she should be looked to to set an example and if that's the example she's setting, it isn't a very good one. ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Citizen Crime Watch patrol is in need of volunteers to help make our community a safer place to live. Volunteers would be asked to commit a minimum of four hours a month, on a Friday or Saturday night to patrol the downtown core, schools, parks, residential streets, business and senior complexes. They cover almost every business in their four hour tour of patrol. All new Crime Watch Patrol members are trained and patrol with other experienced members. All equipment is provided for use when on patrol. Members patrol in their own cars in pairs with radios, and are in contact with the base operation, who is in contact with the RCMP if needed. Gas is paid for. AU members Expropriation, park approved LANGLEY - First and stscond readings of two expropriation bylaws were made by township council, Monday. The two properties at Glover Road and Crush Crescent are to be part of road improvements to the intersection. In the case of the property owned by the Schmeikal family, staff said the family would likely be able to stay there until lhe end of the school year. Council also approved a bylaw allowing the purchase of new parkland at 21489 - 58 Avenue. Coun. Muriel Arnason noted that the purchase was not included in the municipal budget, but administrator Jim Godfrey said it was a case of "a willing seller and a very favorable price" presenting itself. Council agreed that land was badly needed in the area for a new athletic park and authorized the borrowing. Arnason objected to more borrowing but Coun. John Campbell said "the only thing going up faster" than interest is the property value appreciation. are checked by the RCMP and must be free of a criminal record Come out and join them and do your part of help fight crime.

Planning leadership needed, says Wenman OTTAWA - During debate in the House of Commons Feb. 3 Robert Wenman, Member of Parliament for Fraser Valley West, expressed the urgent need for Canada to take a world leadership role in infrastructure planning and development. "The earth summit looked to protect and preserve our home through atmospheric and biodiversity treaties," stated Wenman. "lhe new challenge is to find ways to live together in that global home and to find shelter and pro tisction within the cities where traditional country values of clean air and water, green open space, product efficiency and productivity and transit, can find a sustainable development balance with quality of life". Quoting population growth statistics, Wenman mentioned that infrastructure systems around the world must begin to adapt to meet the increased needs of the world's population explosion, which is rapidly swarming around the major cities of the world Infrastructures developed in 1867 to serve a rural nation, Wenman believes, are now outmoded and outdated. "These structures must now relate not to spanning Canada in the case of transportation but in fact to interlinking the world. Each of our mega-cities are but terminals in that process." The M.P. for Fraser Valley West pointed out the need to work with the United Nations and with other national governments to find solutions to these problems. Wenman, who is also Chairman of Global Parliamentarians on Habitat (Human Settlements and Development), has been lobbying over the past few months to ensure that sustainable cities programs develop as a high priority on the United Nation's agenda. His efforts have helped to further encourage the emergence of sustainable cities projects at the World Bank, the United Nations Development Program, and the United Nations Human Settlements Commission. "The maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure is such a large problem, not just for Canada but for the world.. .we must not only make our structures more efficient and more effective but also must make these structures more relevant to the electronic highways of the world and the interconnection of our mega-citiiss."

"Some gardeners may be intimidated by the idea of showing. I was one of them until I got involved in judging. The majority of gardeners could probably come back from a show with a ribbon. "It became obvious to me very quickly when I started judging that the quality of the items being shown just wasn't as good as it should be. The main reason I think is because people dont know what judges are looking for. So I want to share my knowledge as both a gardener and a judge." The courses are designed for hobby gardeners with a competitive spirit and will focus primarily on judging standards. "Exhibits are held throughout the Fraser Valley, the Lower Mainland, and at the PNE. There are also many garden clubs and flower societies that have small shows going on all the time," says Bell. The gardening series will culminate with a California Horticulture Tour from April 24 to April 30. Horticulture instructor Tom Baumann and other members of UCFV's Agriculture department will lead the tour, which will be based in San Francisco with bus tours to vineyards and orchards, the St. Louis Obispo Agriculture College and the renowned Filoli Estate.

Japanese language #-' m kindergarten gives a head start LANGLEY - Parents interested in giving their children a head start in learning about Pacific rim countries can register their children in Topham Elementary School's Japanese second language morning kindergarten. Registration takes place on February 11 and 12 at the school. The program is open to all Langley children who are five years old before December 31,1993- B.C.'s strong trade relationship with Japan makes Japanese the most relevant Pacific rim language to learn says Topham principal Pam Mil- bum. "By offering Japanese as a second language at the kidnergarten level, we hope to give our students an advantage in understanding an area that is having a major impact on our economy through trade and tourism," she says. "Giving children early knowledge about the Pacific region will help them make effective course and career choices later." "Japanese is also quite an easy language to learn because it doesn't have as many sounds as English, so young children pick up the vocabulary quite quickly," she adds. The kindergarten program will enter its second year in September. "Topham's current kindergarten class has 11 students, and they are learning Japanese as a second language plus a full English language program," says Mlburn. Teacher Jo-Anne Kobayashi teaches the children polite expressions, how to address each other, and how to fellow instructions in Japanese. "They are also learning about other cultures and have studied some things about Korea and China as well as Japan," says Milbum. The kindergarten program is part of the school's Pacific rim focus. "We offer a complete educational program with the addition of three hours a week in Pac rim studies in every grade," says Milbum. "Students who come to us in their first year of school will continue their study of the Pacific region through to grade seven." For more information about Topham Elementary School's Japanese second language kindergarten, call 888- 6111. Coghlan students celebrate "Rooster" with the Chinese AIDERGROVE - The multicultural nature of Canada brings with it cause for celebration. This year the entire student body at Coghlan Elementary chose to recognize our Chinese Canadians. Last week the staff along with coordinator, Fanny Mui, E.S.L. teacher, met to decide on how they could join in on the "Year of the Roost<sr" festivities. All throughout the last two weeks students were involved in activities that helped focus on the Chinese and their way of life. The school was decorated with Oriental arts and crafts and students concentrated on studies that broadened their understanding of the culture. Highlights of the celebrations included a trip to Vancouver's Chinatown to visit the shop, the Chinese Cultural-Center and the Dr. Sun-Yat Sen Gardens. To finalize their emphasis on the Chinese culture, last Friday the entire school was organized into mini- groups which, along with the help of the Chinese staff members and parents, rotated to eight different cultural activities. These activities included learning to speak and count in Chinese, writing Chinese, Chinese arts and crafts such as Red Egg, lanterns, windmills and dragon art, participating in four dances including the famous dragon and lion dances, and making and eating dim sum - where everyone sampled Chinese dumplings. Principal, Gary Walker noted that the focus on the Chinese culture was very successful in meeting its objectives: "to better familiarize our students with the Chinese culture, and to experience first-hand aspects of the Chinese way of life. The enthusiasm and excitement the students displayed for their learnings about the Chinese, soon gave the celebrations a positive focus." WALK-IN PROGRAM 7 DAYS A WEEK Sun. to Sat.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 Seniors value information By MAUDE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - Some great .comparisons have been brought up this week in the Robyn Allan saga. Should a man who roars around tearing up the highway with an atrocious driving record be the Minister of Highways or should a person who smokes and is obese be the Minister of Health, or should a doctor who is a chain smoker be allowed to prescribe for a patient. These questions come to mind when you think of a gal who takes over as president of I.C.B.C. and does a good job of cutting exists and raising the morale of workers. Now should this person be dismissed because she's a lousy driver? This gives food for thought. The General Maeting of the O AP.O. was held Fri. Feb. 5 with about forty in attendance. An interesting talk was given by Rudy Senft on kidney disease. People were able to relate to his message because the speaker, himself has experienced many problems such as dialysis, kidney transplant and other diseases related to kidney problems. We want to thank this gentleman for bringing this information to our attention. Research takes money and March is kidney month so any donations to the foundation will be greatly appreciated. Carpet Bowling was lively last Thursday. Dont think I.can brag about my performance since we got beaten 17-1, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. After all it's just a game. The Art Club has no instructor at present so are carrying on, on their own. The Bridge Club met Friday evening Feb. 5 with ten tables in play; 1st prize went to Ralph Peterson, 2nd to Steve Galigan, 3rd to Irma Irwin. Consolation prize went to Renee Rowley. Next Thursday is Partnership night. I just received word that Ken Fletcher is in Abbotsford Hospital suffering from double pneumonia. Ken and Alice were in Florida when Ken became ill and was flown home by air ambulance, we all hope Ken will recover quickly now that he is back home. ? The Choral Group entertained at Jackman Manor on Thursday evening Not many groups can boast of having someone in the audience who is 111 years old. Mr. Ives was listening attentively. He loves singing. There were many familiar faces there and everyone was eager to show their appreciation. Forty-six attended the Wednesday dance. The spot dance was won by Selina Davies and Chuck Bright. 50- 50 went to Florence Mehden and Georgina Onstine. Charlie Brooke of Langley was welcomed and the birthdays of Peter Kobok, Ellie Wilson and Gordie Healy were celebrated. Peter, the fiddle player is celebrating his 80th birthday, rather special, I would say. There were sixty-nine out to the Saturday dance. Door prizes went to Eriine Wiens and Art Kurtz. 50-50 winners were Herb Fackler and Roy Deering. Spot dances went to Frans- esco and Chester and Herb Parker and Ellen Dion. First timers welcomed were Laurie Barith from Chilliwack and Mathew Massender from Coquitlam. A sympathy card was sent to the family of Roy Knorr who passed away recently. Norm Gun ter and his Peppy Shakers will provide music for this week!s dances. Happy Valentines. Don't forget the flowers and candies guys or you'll be in the dog-house.

The couple were in bed, in their mobile home in the 920O- block of 216 Street when they were awakened at 11:15 p.m. Faced with a sawed-off shotgun, the couple were subjected to violence, induding a mace-like substance, before surrendering the keys to their daughter's home next door. While the couple were held at gunpoint, one of the teenaged men removed a safe containing valuables, which was loaded onto the elderly couple's truck and driven away. The truck was found, by police, abandoned a short distance away. Suspects were described as in their late teens, about six feet tall. An unmasked suspect was of medium build, clean shaven, wearing dark clothing and a black baseball cap. The masked suspect was more muscular and wearing light denim knee-length shorts.

Ltd. of Japan and its Canadian division. MP Bob 'wenman said the plant will receive a loan of $3-million from \5festern Economic Diversification. Mitsui currently purchases Canadian lumber and exports it to Japan for processing. Farming concerns looked at LANGLEY - Mayor John Beales will be the township's delegate to a provincial symposium on the future of farmland preservation at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre, March 9. The invitation from the agriculture minister and the land commission brought some scorn from Coun. John Scholtens, who wrily asked why it had to be held in downtown \foncouver, when it was the rural area that had the greatest interest and stake in the matter. Coun. Aubrey Searle replied that it was easier for delegates from the Peace and other northern areas to fly in to Vancouver to attend. Scholtens also pondered whether "farmers would be wel- come?" The invitation has been sent to government agencies and farm organizations, but only one from each can be accommodated, said Land Commission chair Kirk Miller and agriculture minister Bill Barlee. • Since only one can go, Scholtens withdrew his request; noting that "the mayor should attend." However, Coun. Muriel Arnason said she also intended to be there. While on the subject of farming, council decided to send a letter of congratulations to former Times editor, Mel Kosit- sky, congratulating him on his pacer horse's victory as harness horse of the year at Cloverdale Rareway. ___ —— —:—' .Cyjs»» .1 THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

FEBRUARY 11. 1993 27 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR , Prudent management Editor, The Star, Sir, Six years ago Kinsmen chose to get involved with providing social housing for families in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland areas. The reason we got involved was because of the real need that existed for affordable rental housing, in particular single parents in various areas. When we set out to establish standards of behaviour and protocol for the projects we anticipated getting involved with we made a con- sious decision not to design policies and procedures geared in any way specifically to Social Housing. , As a result of this decision we investigated the operating procedures of a number of high end and exclusive condominium projects subsequently applying their philosophy to our operations. Unfortunately whenever you establish operating policies there will always be someone who will try to see how far they can be pushed. Residents in Kinsmen Projects pay 30% of their gross income per month, in some cases as little as $163.00 for a two, three or four bedroom town- house. The operating cost of a unit can be as high as three to five times more than the tenant contribution. The difference is made up with federal government funds of 66.6% and provincial government funds of 33-3% all of which are the people's tax dollars. It is, therefore, incumbent on us as Kinsmen to ensure all of the household income is reported. There can be no exception to this reporting. In addition to managing the hous ing through a volunteer board the Kinsmen build the playgrounds on the sites themselves, set up daycare operations, provide funds for special events for tenants and provide Christmas hampers for tenants in need Today Kinsmen manage 276 units of family housing in six projects with six volunteer board of directors in five different communities. We presently have over 1,000 families on our waiting lists for housing. The Association of Kinsmen Clubs is one of Canada's oldest service organizations formed in 1920. Over the past 73 years our organization has contributed over a billion dollars in community service to Canadians. We contribute more funds and more volunteer hours per capita than any service organization in the world. When you operate lhe number of units of housing we do there is bound to sometimes be controversy often brought on through misunderstanding or abuse of the system. We as an organization must be careful when we comment on individual cases so we will not betray the confidential information we have relative to our tenants. We appreciate that you are in the-news reporting business and that often the negative story is what sells, however, if in the future you would keep in mind that we are a volunteer group who, if given time can meet with you and provide the information you seek, the full story can therefore by printed. THE ALDERGROVE KINSMEN HOUSING SOCIETY Middy Allard, President Impeach Brian! Editor, The Star, Sir, It's great to see democracy working in Brazil (the impeachment of President Fernando Collor de Mello). If only we could be that fortunate in Canada. In late October, with a petition from the people, Jim Jordan, Liberal, M.P. for Leeds-Granville, asked the clerk of petitions, Tom Watts, forper- mission to stand up in our House of Commons and call for Mulroney's impeachment. Our British parliamentary system allows us that right, the request was denied. Mr. Charette came up against the same kind of power in Toronto on Nov. 6/92. To lay charges against Mulroney under section 507 of the criminal code requires three signatures on a legal petition. Mr. Charette presented J.P. Tom Walton with over sixty thousand, J.P. Walton explained to Mr. Charette that he did have the legal right to charge Mulroney, but you can not charge him unless I sign the legal papers, and I'm not signing. Federal politicians with the help, of the justice system have now become so powerful, that they can break the law, and the constitution without any fear of reprisals. In 1984 we gave the government $65-billion to run this nation. Since then we have had 33 federal tax increases (not including the G.S.T.). In 1992 they received $125-billiwi ($60-billion increase), our debt has gone from $190-billion to $450-billion, and we agreed with our politicians when they brought in mandatory testing for athletes, but when the Canadian Insti- tute for Political Integrity asked them for the same accountability by taking a lie-detector test, so that we can find out where the $30-billion of our missing tax money is going to every year, they want no part of it. I wonder why? . We have now become serfs to the people that should be serving us, and the only legal avenue left open is through our civil courts. Thanks to Mr. Glen Keaky and C.I.P.I., the process has begun to bring charges against Martin Brian Mulroney. For more information on these upcoming charges and what you can do to help, send S AS JL to John Wel- ham, R.R.10, Peterborough, Ont. K9J 6Y2. Sitting on our hands, waiting for the next election to get rid of Mulroney and company, will not stop the corruption or bring justice and democracy back to Canada. As individuals there is not much we can do to change the system, but if we work and stand together we can take back our country. JOHN WELHAM, Ontario Bird watch Chickadee upon the snow Leave tiny ski mark where they go, Small busy bodies they All .condescend to stay As long as I fill the tray; The feeder empties very fast, I'm always filling it with grain, But it's worth the effort I expend, To keep them coming back again. -Frances Evanoff, Jubilee Subscribers to the ALDERGROVE STAR get value...
