Salvage crews were busy New Years' Day recovering a fish boat, which sank at its moorings due to a build-up of ice on the Fraser river. A small tug boat was used to tow the boat, on its side, to its present location where a salvage worker dressed in diver's gear waded chest deep in the frigid water to secure lines to the ferry dock. -Tim Attwood photo. PRICE PAID FOR SLIPPERY RESIDENCE Judge warns home occupants VANCOUVER - A Langley woman was awarded $60,000 after she slipped and fell on a painted sidewalk whicii was slippery when wet. B.C.

The judge awarded general damages of $18,000, past wage loss of $51,000 and special damages of $2,000, after she injured her back and was off work for a year and a half. The judge found that MacDonald was 30 percent to blame because she was a part-time letter carrier who should have been aware of the dangers of walking on slippery surfaces in wet weather. This would reduce her $71,000 award to about $60,000. He also said MacDonald exaggerated her symptoms and failed to follow, an exercise program recommended by her doctors.

This year Festival Days begin on June 11 with a fireworks display. The parade is on Saturday morning, followed by many fun events. A slo-pitch tournament takes place over the whole weekend. Sunday's highlight is the outhouse races. A group is needed to organize and oversee the Youth Ambassador Pageant. This is a great experience for all who participate. The contestants learn about the area they live in and are judged on poise and public speaking abilities. The Youth Ambassador wins a trip to Japan and represents Aldergrove at the PNE Youth Ambassador Pageant. The three finalists represent Aldergrove at parades and other functions through the year. Plan to attend this meeting and put your talents to work or bring in some fresh ideas. Chippg the tree ALDERGROVE - The Christmas tree chipping service is an envi- ' ronmentally friendly way to dispose of your tree, and it won't cost you anything unl«sss you wish to donate to the Scouts who are hosting the free service. It comes to the Aldergrove Legion grounds, 26607 Fraser Highway, this Saturday, Jan. 9 between 8:30 a.m. and 3=55 p.m. The chips will be used as mulch on parkland walking paths. MacMillan Bloedel has donated tree seedlings that will be given out by Langley Kiwanis members, as another environmentally positive move. The Scouts have hosted the program over the past three years, and have seen thousands of trees turned into chips. Labor worried about retirement OTTAWA - The Canadian Labor Qpngress is worried about proposed amendments to the- Canadian Human Rights Act that would abolish mandatory retirement. The CLC said if the amendments are passed, people 65 or older will not have to retire and could challenge employers through the Canadian Human Rights Commission to prove their retirement would be beneficial for the business, meaning younger Canadians would be facing even greater employment problems. The CLC's economist, Kevin Kayes, says people who are worried about weak private pensions will likely remain working past 65 years. "With any kind of economic growth, population studies show we will face serious shortages of |odeople in many jobs. Many employers will want to keep these experienced people at Recall bill tabled CALGARY - Reform Party leader Preston Manning congratulated MP Deborah Grey for tabling a private member's bill in Parliament concerning the recall of elected officials. "The bill, if passed, would allow electors in any federal constituency to recall their member of Parliament by circulating a petition containing the names and addresses of at least 50 percent plus one of the voters enumerated in that riding in the last election," said Manning. "Deborah Grey has the gratitude and congratulations of all Reformers for stubbornly pushing this fundamental policy of our party." Speaking in the House of Commons, Grey said: "The bill will do more to ensure democratic and parliamentary reform than all the committees this house could put together. It's about time that the members of this house started representing their constituents' interests in Ottawa, rather than Ottawa's interests in their constituencies; the passage of this bill may convince them to do just that." If a petition were to be deemed successful by the chief electoral officer, a byelection would be called for that seat. NOTICE ANNUAL GENERAL LjjjJMEET&lG of the Aldergrove Community Centre Society ||| January 28,1993 |||| 7:00 P.M. : Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre work as long as possible," he says. "Most older workers don't have a private pension plan so they will have to work to preserve economic security." Grim figures OTTAWA - More-/grim figures from Statistics Canada have revealed that more Canadians were living in poverty in 1991 than before, thanks to lower incomes and higher unemployment. The actual number of Canadians living below the poverty line in 1991 increased to 16 percent of the population. That's up from 14.6 percent in 1990 Md 13.6 percent in 1989- The average Canadian household income for 1991 was $53,131, down 2.6 percent from 1990. "This certainly substantiates what we've felt was going to happen," says Lynne Toupin, executive director of the National Anti-Poverty Organization. "We're looking at over 400,000 Canadians who have jumped into poverty in one year. That was even more substantial than we would have expected. The government is not articulating a clear action plan to fight child poverty. Obviously, the kinds of strategies they have devdoped so far are not alleviating poverty." Increased suicide rate among elderly . NEW YORK - They do it out of depression or because they have long outlived friends and relatives or because miles have created distance between them and their loved ones. Whatever the reason, America's elderly are killing themselves in greater numbers, prompting the medical and social service communities to probe deeper into an issue that has received litde attention over the years. Suicide among Americans aged 65 and older has been on the rise since the 1980s, reversing a 30-year trend, according to health experts. The same experts contend that the attention given to the issue of teenage suicide has obscured the fact that the elderly have the fastest-growing suicide rate of any age group. Senior citizens account for 26 percent of the nation's population but commit an estimated 39 percent of the country's suicides. Men over 65 account for 80 percent of the suicides among the elderly, according to statistics. ' One reason for the alarming statistics, an expert says, is that America simply does not treat its senior citizens well. "Things are not geared toward the life of the elderly and the message we send is 'it would be easier if you left', says Margot Tallmer, a professor at Hunter College's Brookdale Center for the Aging. "We say, ' you are an expense and not contributing to the Gross National Product'."

JANUARY 7. 1993 Mulroney's free ride OTTAWA - According to documents tabled in the House of Commons, taxpayers shelled out almost $1-million last year to send Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, a 56-person entourage and 14 police bodyguards to Japan and Hong Kong on a state visit. Costs actually amounted to $76,941 per day. The same documents showed that British Columbia MPs are heavy spenders, forking out $13.2-million in taxpayers dollars in 1991-92 for travel. Besides the trips to Asia, the prime minister also went to Ireland, England, Zimbabwe, France, Germany, Italy, New York and California, costing Canadians a total of $2.95-million. Wagner Hills gets major corporate boost ALDERGROVE - Wagner Hills Farm has received a Christmas present from two foundations. p^| The Aldergrove drug and alcohol counselling centre has received word that it will get $25,000 from the Vancouver Foundation and $20,000 from the Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Woodward Foundation. The money will be used for construction of the New Life Centre on the 45-acre farm. The two donations push the total amount of money and building materials donated towards the centre to $180,000. Even though that figure is considerably short of the $400,000 target, Wagner Hills Farm Society plans to start construction of the c«ntre in April. "We will keep fundraising in the interim," says Hstlmut Bo«2hm, executive director of the farm since its inception 11 y»sars ago. He explains that the society expects a lot of the labor on the construction of the centre to be donated, reducing the amount of cash it needs. The society also hopes that once the building begins to take shape, there will be more donations coming in as potential donors can see that their funds are going towards something tangible. The society has been involved in an active fundraising campaign for the past year, culmin-> ating in a dinner and auction in early October at the Pacific Inn in South Surrey. The foundations were approached as part of the fundraising campaign. Both expressed interest in the project and have now confirmed their participation. The donation from the Vancouver Foundation comes as the renowned charitable organization enters its 50th year of service. The New Life Centre will be the centrepiece of the programs offered at the farm. It will allow the number of clients to grow from 15 at present to 23. It will contain expanded facilities for counselling, meetings, recreation and a proper dining area and kitchen. The centre will also be open to the community for use as a meeting and recreation hall. Wagner Hills Farm uses a farm atmosphere to help people dealing with various addictions come to terms with their social, behavioral and spiritual goals, in a Christian setting. While the farm has been low key, many people who have come to it have left with thssir lives changed. Many have been able to be freed from their addictions and lead productive lives, instead of being enslaved to drugs and/or alcohol. Many former clients come back to the farm to assist those currendy living there, and a good number are living in the Langley, Aldergrove, Matsqui and Abbotsford arssa. Wagner Hills Farm is located at 8061 264 Street. SHINING FOR SANTA The house of Ron and Annette Wilson was a Christmas attraction for residents who had to see the thousands of lights and ornaments that the family sets up every year in aid of charity. Ron took two weeks off work to string up the 10,000-light decorations at his 28A Avenue home, and the community rewarded the family by bringing $2,300 in donations for Langley Memorial Hospital and some three pickup truck loads of food for the Aldergrove Food Bank. Volunteer firefighters and RCMP Crime Prevention Unit also contributed their time to attend and help the event, including (left) Brian Potts, Santa Jeff Luypen, Safety Bear Jim Quick, Randy Hopkins, Elf Bryan Wiebe, Don Simpson and Doug (surname unknown).

The Grinch stole the firewood, And the due sow sighed and died With the piglets inside. And what a hullabaloo, When the assessment came through, Taxed out of house and home, Many are forced to roam The highways and byways. Or find a cave in a hill to ward off the chill. To become a caveman, Back to the beginning. But the land has been raped And shaped to support us no more. So off to the shore, but there are no more Fish in the sea. What a fate for you or me! Loss of job, then U.I.C. After that what will it be? And oh how they fret About Canada's debt But there will be no hope When Nature goes broke. tinkering with the family allowance program, the federal government should be taking what little they are planning to use to upgrade the program and instituting job creation or job training so Canadians whose jobs are gone can get back to work. Take the money that is foolishly spent on silly surveys and use it to get people back to work. In all probability the latest government survey cost a great deal of money and the findings are not only a good example of government waste, but the results insulting at best and foolish at the least. They found that 93 percent of those surveyed agreed with not selling cigarettes to minors. Gimme a break! Is this astounding news or what? Even the most silly person in Canada would.agree that selling cigarettes to minors is a bad idea. Your money and mine was spent foolishly to statistically enunciate something that everyone already knows. Man, do we need a new crop of politicians or what? (Mr. Stewart is editor of the Dawson Creek Daily News). letters Higher cost, lesser results . Definitely Artificial life now not wanted hunting for food By ROBERT MATTHEWS LONDON - In what sounds like a scene from a science fiction novel, a computer left running for hours by its human masters has evolved a new form of intelligent life. The experiment, carried out at Aston University in England, is being seen as. powerful evidence for Darwin's theory of evolution, as the <x>mputer was told nothing more than the rules of natural selection. But it is also likely to lead to new ways of studying the social behavior of living creatures, including humans. Until now, attempts to create life inside computers have been litde more than gimmicks. But in the past few years scientists have been studying techniques drawn from nature, with surprising results. Conventional computers have been programmed to behave as if they are made up of brain cells, in crude models of real brains known as neural networks. Despite their simplicity, neural networks have proved capable of learning complex tasks, from reading aloud to predicting stock market fluctuations. Other researchers have been using Darwin's idea of the "survival of the fitt«2st" to evolve solutions to complex problems. In so-called genetic algorithms, a collection of initially random guesses is rated for its ability to solve a giv»?n problem, and the worst guesses are killed off as "unfit". The better ones are then allowed to breed and mutate, and produce offspring which are better at solving the problem. After many generations, a genetic algorithm can breed extremely good solutions to the given problem. In the Aston experiment, research student Bryn Williams and professor David Bounds have (combined neural network ideas and genetic algorithms to see if together they would enable a computer to evolve intelligent life spontaneously. Williams created a model world inside the computer in which sources of "food" were located. He then let loose a collection of simulated creatures called animals to forage about within this worid. Each animal was equipped with an extremely simple brain made up of just 15 neurons - humans have about 10 billion times more. This enabled each animal to recall its last location, sniff out food and move towards it. At first, most of the animals put into the model worid failed to find any food, and died. However, by luck some managed to find food, and these survived to breed and pass on their brain patterns to the next generation. As Williams and Bounds let the computer run, they were startled to discover how quickly each new generation of animals became adept at scurrying around, seeking out and eating food -. despite being told nothing about how best to do it. According to Williams, the animals iearn quisddy the hard way, because failure means extinction. "What you see is that even after just a few generations you get animals emerging with apparently purposeful behavior," he said. Editor, The Star, Sir, According to the news, the prime minister has de'clded to appoint 10 more senators to fill vacancies in Canada's upper house. Mulroney should reconsider this move based on the following: * We can't afford them. * We don't need them. * We don't want them. * Until the debate over the upper house has been resolved, it would be irresponsible to appoint any more senators. If they must be added, they should be elected. In any case, at a time when the federal government cannot even afford to pay attention, it certainly cannot afford 10 more senators. The message is clear: Canadian taxpayers want fewer government expenditures, smaller government, and either a useful senate or no senate at all. This move by Mulroney has no popular appeal whatsoever. A more useful and popular move would be to eliminate 15 cabinet ministers and their ministries, thus bringing our federal government down to a more realistic size. MICHAEL T. SMITH Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community. The letters-to-the-_ditor column._0i?..a;, chance for comment on what has been said in the paper. It is our readers' opportunity to respond to what newsmakers of the area have been saying. We especially encourage readers to write on topics of local interest, although letters which erriighten or stimulate thought are welcome. We ask that letters be free of libel and bear the name and address of the author. Editor, The Star, Sir, It is my feeling that Canadians in general are fed up with paying more and more for education while in turn receiving a lesser quality of basic education. There are many students who cannot write a letter or hold a pencil properly. There are many who cannot recite the times table 2x1 to 10x10 at grade 12 level. I must say it is very sad to see how the ones they look up to for guidance have let them down. For some we have waited too long, but let us not wait any longer. Let us as parents and leaders help the young people restore their pride. For the sake of the future of their offspring and the preservation of mankind. Let us help those who will not have the chance to go to college or university. I feel we must make children realize that schools are learning centers, not play and social centers. I feel children must learn at an early age the value of a dollar and the value of its equivalent if they are to be successful in life. They must also realize that goals have to be reached and Drive a success Editor, The Star, Sir This is a big thank you! to Mr. Bob Wylie, manager of Super Valu, Dean of Dean's Market, the Aldergrove Liquor Store and all the Aldergrove residents that contribute bottles, for all their support during our very successful bottle drive, January 2. We would also like to thank Parkside Centennial School for allowing us to use their school for our meeting place and drop off c<2ntre. The protceeds were more than we had hoped for and shall help us tremssndously towards our first ever Aldergrove Secondary Rugby Tour to Europe in March of '93. On behalf of the Aldergrove Rugby Europe Tour Parents, A. McCORMACK, Aldergrove strict standards met if they are to survive in the new world. We must also instill in them that governments are our servants and must do as the majority wants.. Many Canadians have sacrificed their time, their limbs, their lives to insure that we have this right. As they go through school they should look back at it as a place of knowledge and wisdom. Not as Big Brother. DON COULTER What about men? Editor, The Star, Sir, It is unfortunate that there is a rise of abuse against women. But what about the abuse against men? Mental, financial, and in some cases, physical abuse. We never say anything because of our pride. But I'm tied of swallowing my pride. Women are taking advantage of the justice system. I went to court on a so-called assault charge against my common-law. Our relationship was falling apart, we tried counseling, talking, understanding, time, and it didn't work. Words were said to one another and I was attacked. She scratched my face, back and neck. I escaped emotions, pride, confusion and hurt. I got my summons for court. I decided my plea was not guilty. If you are not guilty, you don't need a lawyer, right? Wrong: Guilty. There were two cases ahead of me of abuse to women. The men were found guilty and charged. I told my story to the judge and the crown told their story. I pleaded self defense. Crown said she has a fractured cheek bone. I asked for x-ray and no x-ray was provided. I have scars on my face and heart. Sentence was passed: six months probation and a $500 fine, but that's not all. I am to stay away from her and worst of all, my two children, for a year.

People counting calories have slower reaction times, shorter memories and duller brain function than those eating a normal diet, say psychologists at the Institute of Food Research in Reading. Doctors Michael Green and Peter Rodgers urged caution by children taking examinations and adults whose jobs call for high concentration levels, such as air traffic controllers or those manning complicated machinery. Dieting in Western society seems to be regarded as some kind of inconsequential activity but it shouldn't be taken lightly," says Green, who carried out tests on 126 women at Reading University. Some good advice for snowy weather motorists VANCOUVER - The British Columbia Automobile Association responded to over 20,000 stalls for emergency roadside assistance throughout the province from December 27 to January 4. BCAA's Colin Mackie says the most frequent problems drivers are reporting are cars that won't start due to battery problems, charging system malfunctions, frozen gas lines and vehicles simply stuck in snow. "We are also advising people not to wash their cars in freezing temperatures as we're getting a lot of calls for frozen locks and doors," says Mackie, "Motorists should also keep.:their door lodes well oiled to prevent freezing." Mackie says people with "stucJc" cars calling BCAA for assistance should ensure they shovel their driveways before the BCAA service person arrives. "In areas where there is snow The Corporation of the Township of Langley NOTICE TO ALL MUNICIPAL WATER CUSTOMERS IN ALDERGROVE As part of our Maintenance Program, the Municipal Water Department will be flushing watermains in your area on the date shown below.

JANUARY 7. 1993 Alcohol really does uncork inspiration BURNABY - Perhaps it was worth the terrible hangovers vividly recorded by Samuel Pepys, James Boswell and the heavy drinking writers who followed them. The image of the literary genius penning brilliant prose while downing crates of booze has received surprising backing from scientists in Canada, who claim that alcohol really can boost creativity. Although alcohol's ability to relieve tension and loosen lips is well known, its effect on creative writing has never been properly studied. Yet claims for it can be traced back to the great 8th century Chinese poet Li Po, who appears to have spent much of his life inebriated. To get to the truth, researchers at Simon Fraser University took a group of students and gave some the equivalent of a very large vodka. The rest were given an identical-tasting placebo drink containing no alcohol. They were then shown a landscape painting, and told to write as creatively as possible in 10 minutes about what they saw. The next day the test was repeated with those first given the placebo now being given the alcohol. The researchers measured the creativity of each student's prose by looking at the figurative use of language, marking novel turns of phrase more highly than well- worn ones. Although some taking the nonalcoholic drink reported feeling slightly tipsy, they all failed to score as highly on the creativity scale as when genuinely intoxicated. The researchers also discovered that the intoxicated students tended to write considerably more than the sober ones, backing the folklore that alcohol is useful in curing "writer's block". In the journal Psychological Reports the researchers argue that the increase in creativity may be related to the well-documented increase in emotionalism caused by drinking alcohol: "Emotional experience, both pleasant and unpleasant, has been shown to generate more imagery," they point out. But well-known authors dismiss the idea that inspiration can be found only at the bottom of a bottle. "Scientific drivel," snapped best-selling author Lord Jeffrey Archer, who never touches a drop while writing. Sir Kingsley Amis adrhitted to experimenting with alcohol to summon up the muse of poetry as a youth.

Ridge Meadows took a two goal lead early in the second, but the Bruins were not about to roll over and die and at 9:42 Scott scored on the power play, assists to Dustin and Paul. Three and a half minutes later Aldergrove ties up the game. Goal to Paul and assists to Scott and Dustin. At 3:02 the Wolverines put their third goal past Davis to take the lead by one again. The third period was a hody contested one as both teams battled for dominance and neither was about to give in. At 5:45 Scott tied up the game, assist to Paul. The Bruins were to score once more only to have it disallowed. At the final buzzer the score was ded at three to send the teams into sudden death overtime. Both teams played cautiously in this period as neither were willing to make the mistake that might cost them the game. As a result the score remained tied at the end of the five minute period and the game was about to go into a shootout. It's now nailbiter time for the parents especially for ones whose son is a goalie. As per the rules Bruins coaches Don Schulz, Rob Robinson and Mike Smith chose five players to take part in the shoot out. Scott was the first up but was unable to get the puck past the Wolverine goalie. Next up was Mike R but he too had no luck. In the meantime Ridge Meadows had been able to score once on Bruins goalie Davis. Paul was the next one to try and he scored! Now the teams were tied at one apiece. B.J. was next but he too was unsuccessful. Now it's down to the last two shooters. The Ridge Meadows shooter was the first to go but was stopped cold by Davis. Now it's Josh M's turn. He skates toward the Wolverine goalie and tucks the puck by him. The Bruins win the game and the tournament! What a game! Special mention to a couple of Bruins. Davis Parley played the whole tournament in net and played spectacularly and also to Josh Letkeman who though normally a goalie played defense for the whole tournament to fill in for the missing Ben Henthorne and did a great job. Also to the parents who braved snow and wind and cold to come out to all the games and scheer on the boys. You did a great job! THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 7. 1993 Hewitt Bruins earn special award ALDERGROVE - "It's not .whether you win or lose that counts, it's how you play the game." With that in mind, the Hewitt & Company Bruins received applause at the conclusion of the Langley Minor Hockey Association Tournament for receiving the trophy awarded to the "most sportsmanlike team" during the round robin event. 16 teams participated in the tournament, matched in 4 divisons determined by random selection that guaranteed exciting play, many of the teams never having played each other before. Game 1: The Hewitt & Company Bruins first game was against White Rock, a top tier B team that beat Aldergrove 19-2 in their previous meeting. With White Rock scoring 48 seconds into the period it looked to be a repeat of that previous meeting, especially as their scoring sdrive chalked up a total of 7 goals, with no reply from Aldergrove. However, in the 2nd period Aldergrove came back with 3 goals, and were not intimidated by White Rock, in spite of a high level of penalties against this team. Aldergrove's first was scored by Mark Cassibo, assist Aman Sivia, to the tumultuous Environment club starts up LANGLEY - Are you between the ages of 9-19 years? Do you care about the environment?

This was followed quickly by the Bruins second, put in the net by Darcy Benson, assist Matt Keith and Martin Nicola, and the final Aldergrove goal of the period was scored by Spencer Cording, with assists from Aman Sivia, Mark Cassibo and Wesley Vanoverschot. White Rock was being held handily by the Hewitt & Company Bruins defence and Ben 'The Glove' Eldridge in goal. White Rock were held to 3 goals in this period, showing the play had evened out and the final score at period end was 10-3- In the final period, the play was even again with White Rock scoring 2 and Aldergrove 1, put away by Martin Nicola, assist Matt Keith. By this time the Hewitt & Company Bruins were in full stride, but could not pull back the first period deficit. A great try by Aldergrove - final score 12-4 White Rock. Game 2: Against Coquidam, a tier side played regularly by the Bruins, the game was much more balanced, and the Hewitt & Company Bruins opened the scoring with Matt Keith drilling the puck into the net assisted by Martin Nocola and Eric Strandt, to ls^ave Aldergrove in the lead at period end 1-0. Kristopher 'Pads' Keith was on his.game in goal, and denied Coquitlam the chance to get on the board, assisted by strong performances from Aldergrove's defence. In the 2nd period, not to be denied, Coquidam came back with 2 goals of their own, and no reply from Aldergrove to put the score at 2-1 for Coquidam. The final period was an end to end dog fight between the teams, both goalies being worked very hard and the final tally was 3 goals scored by Coquidam, and 2 excellent goals tucked away by Aldergrove, the 1st of these was put in by Martin Nicola, assist Mark Cassibo and the 2nd by Matt Keith, assist Martin Nicola, who featured in all 3 Aldergrove goals. Although the game ended in a loss for Aldergrove 5-3, it was more satisfying for the NOTICE TO MOTORISTS ALBION FERRY SERVICE £ SCHEDULE CHANGE The Ministry of Transportation and Highways announces that, effective January 15, 1993, the Albion Ferry will no longer operate between 2:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M.

Game 3: The 3rd and final regular game of the tournament was against a very tough and aggressive side from Setde. In the first period Seatde scored 7, Aldergrove replying with 2. The 1st of these was shot by Matt Keith, assist Darcy Benson and the 2nd Martin Nicola, assist -again to Darcy Benson. Period ending score 7-2 Seatde. Unintimidated, Aldergrove came back out to play serious hockey, and the excellent goal tending of Kristopher 'Pads" Keith, supported by the Hewitt & Company Bruins solid defense kept Seattle out of the net for the entire period. Neither side scored, so period ending score remained 7-2 Seattle. The 3rd period saw Seattle surge as the Bruins began to tire, and Seatde scored 4 more, with a final goal for Aldergrove, a nice way to go for Darcy Benson, who scored unassisted, and assisted in Aldergrove's 2 previous goals. Final score 11-3 Seattle. Consolation game: Aldergrove went up against Portland in the final game, which proved to be a thriller that had spectators on the edge of their seats for the entire game. Portland opened the scoring in the 1st pCTiod at 7.44, with Aldergrove's Hewitt & Company Bruins replying 4 minutes later, scored by Martin Nicola, assist Darcy Benson and Matt Keith. Ben "Hie Glove' Eldridge was working overtime in goal, and was denying Portland their chances and the score at period end was 1-1. Second period action saw Aktergrove score 2 goals to Portland's 1, the Bruins 1st of the period scored by Martin Nicola, assist Mark Cassibo, and the 2nd. put in by David Mamchur, assist Spencer Cording. Period ending score 3-2 Hewitt & Company Bruins.

The Bruins final goal was scored by defenceman Clinton Olson, assist Spencer Cording, p«2riod -ending score 4-4, a most appropriate situation for 2 very evenly matched sides. Overtime was short as Portland scored 3.55 into the period giving them the game 5-4. The Hewitt & Company Bruins showed a lot of heart and sportsmanship during the tournament, and deserve applause for their class showing in the face of disappointing losses.

JANUARY 7. 1993 Weather plays havoc with harness card Real estate marks record sales CLOVERDALE - For the second time in the past two weeks, a full harness card had to be cancelled at Cloverdale Raceway as up to 20 cm of snow blanketed the lower mainland making many roads difficult to travel on. Sunday's card being dropped was a rarity in Cloverdale's 18 years of "operation. Cloverdale is dark Monday and Tuesday and ~wpl use the two days off to ready the track for Wednesday night's card. Two eliminations for the Attorney General Classic highlighted Saturday's card and the first one was by far the tougher of the two as the Alberta monster, As Promised lined up against one of Cloverdale's ton pacers, Mooster Ed. The race was no contest as regular driver Keith Clark had As Promised in front the whole way and was never seriously threatened at any point in the mile pace for 4 year olds. Payday Paddy finished second, with Mooster Ed in third. Time for the mile was 1:59.4. The win was the 13th in a row for the Kentucky bred colt. Last season saw As Promised win 23 of 28 starts and gather earnings of $219,582 for his Alberta owners. The outcome of any race hinges on which post a horse draws, but it doesn't look like drawing the outside hole would bother this horse in the least. It .W^Bd just make him work a little harder. The second elimination went to Red Stars Joker, Jim Burke in the bike, defeating the heavy favourite and only filly in the elimination, Payday Chance. LandburnCT, with Bob Clark at the lines, finished third. Time for the mile was 2:02, considerably slower than the first elimination.

Satellites spot farm fraud BRUSSELS - Agricultural fraud on a massive scale has been uncovered by satellite photography over Italy and Greece, with national authorities seriously misleading EC officials about how much land is genuinely under cultivation. Euro-MPs and Commission officials believe the findings are a disastrous augury for next year's reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, when subsidy payments will be made per hectare rather than as price support. Even under the present price support system, fraud costs the European Community hundreds of millions of dollars per year. In one case, the Italians claimed to have 4.2-million acres growing durum wheat. Satellite images showed only 1.9-million acres in production. Herman Verbeek, a Dutch Euro- MP, has demanded to know how much surplus EC subsidy was paid to the Italians, and when it will be handed back. It has also been discovered that the Italians are receiving subsidies for olive oil twice, once when the olives are harvested and once when they go for crushing. Twenty-five percent of the claimed production also turned out to consist of "paper olives". The disclosures came as Italy appealed to Brussels for loan equivalent to $12-billion. 11111111 I «J SURREY - The 1992 Fraser Valley real estate year ended with the visual seasonally slower pace as compared to the beginning of the year, however, the total dollar sale amounts, for the year, were up by 23% over 1991.

The assessment notices will be the basis for elected local councils and othssr gov<?rnments to use in apportioning how much tax each property owner will pay in 1993- IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER • Returning to an annual roll provides current vakils based on a valuation date of July 1, 1992. • The market determines the value of property and the Assessment Authority reports that value to the property owner and the taxing authorities. • The Assessment Authority does not set taxes. • Taxing authorities, such as provincial and municipal governments, sschool and hospital boards, and regional districts use property assessments to deter- ■ mine what tax rate they must set to raise the revenues they need to pay for public services. • The taxing authorities set tax rates. • In the simplest form, property taxes are calculated this way. Market value x tax rate equals property tax. • Property owners are often concerned that, if the value of their property increases, their taxes will also be higher. This is not necessarily so. An increase in assessment does not always translate into an increase in taxes. • An assessment increase will only increase taxes if the specific assessment increase is at a higher rate than the average increase in the community.

Trawlers get monitored in new federal program VANCOUVER - Implementation of a port monitoring program in the groundfish trawl fishery, and measures to combat the dumping at sea of non-target species will contribute to proper conservation and management of Pacific groundfish stosdcs, according to Minister of Fisheries and Oceans John Crosbie. On Jan. 4, Crosbie issued catch quotas and fishery management plans for the 1993 commercial groundfish fisheries. Groundfish plans govern the harvest of several varieties of rockfish and sole, as well as species such as Pacific cod, hake, dogfish, and lingcod. Crosbie said, "Pacafic groundfish are in most cases at stable levels of abundance and harvest quotas in 1993 are similar to last season. Management measures introduced this year will allow year-round harvesting and processing opportunities for the industry, while serving conservation goals by maintaining catch within sustainable levels." The 1993 trawl plan has been prepared as an interim step towards development of long- term management strategies in the groundfish fishery. Together with industry, the department is developing a port monitoring program for implementation in 1993. Port monitoring will ensure the proper and timely recording of catch so that conservation and management goals can be achieved. Concurrent with the monitoring program, measures to reduce at-sea discarding of rockfish will be in place for the coming season. This initiative is designed to minimize wastage and to ensure that conservation goals are met by ensuring a full accounting of all fish harvested. Such measures are particularly important for the protection of rockfish species due to the high mortality associated with harvesting. Basic letter price gets one cent boost OTTAWA - The price of a basic letter went up one cent, Jan. 1, 1993.

Canada Post's domestic letter price remains the se<x>nd lowest of comparable major western industrialized countries in terms of the time required for a manufacturing worker to earn the price of a stamp. The proposed increase for all postal services will result in an addition of less than one cent per day for the average household.

JANUARY 7. 1993 Dollars and sense out of confusion LANGLEY - With interest rates jumping all over the place in the last couple of months, Canadians are becoming more confused than ever as to how to properly manage their hard-earned dollars. According to surveys by Statistics Canada, Canadians do litde or no retirement planning, yet the same surveys show we expect to maintain the same standard of living when we stop working. Meanwhile the price of just thinking about investing in your future eets more expensive each day. If compound interest is not working for you right now, you are losing valuable future dollars. Who will be tomorrow's Woopies? Many of today's Wcdl Off Older Persons are living comfortably as Woopies, travelling the globe and lavishing gifts on their grandchildren. They bought homes when real estate was relatively inexpensive and with a frugal lifestyle they were able to avoid accumulated debt. Now they are able to trade their homes at hugely inflated prices and benefit from high returns on their savings during the '80s boom years. But the prospects for those still working toward retirement may not be so inviting. Many older seniors struggle by on inadequate pensions, or they belong to the 40 pssrcent of Canadians over 65 who receive a government supplement because their in-. come falls below the poverty line. Dollars and Sense, a two-day money management and invest ment fair at the Langley Conference Centre January 15 and 16, takes a look at investment opportunities. More than a dozen Fraser Valley financial institutions and investment companies will be on hand to explain cunent trends. Financial advisors will offer the latest information on retirement savings plans and other long-term investments such as mutual funds at display booths in the conference centre auditorium and at seminars during show hours. Ten seminars are scheduled. Robs^rt Bradeen, vice president of Trimark Investment Management of Vancouver, will be the keynote speaker on Friday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m., sponsored by Great Pacific Management Company. Since its founding in 1981, Trimark, based in Toronto, has become one of the most successful mutual fund companies in Canada. Trimark's family of mutual funds has consistendy placed in the very highest performance rankings of all mutual funds in Canada and North America. Bradeen, who joined Trimark in 1989, openi2d the Vancouver oflice in October, 1991. Admission to Dollars and Sense is free. Show hours are Friday, Jan. 15, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Jan, 16, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Langley Confs^rence Centre is located at 20381 66th Ave., Langley. Dollars and Sense is co-sponsored by Country 1130 CKWX. For more information, cx>ntact Brenda Plowman at 530- 6696. Doctors say Cull misleading public VANCOUVER - The British Columbia Medical Association has charged provincial Health Minister Elizabeth Cull with wasting taxpayers' money on large ads that are deliberately designed to mislead the public. "I am deeply disappointed with this latest effort put forward by the Health Minister," said BCMA president Dr. Steve Hardwicke. "Nothing new has been offered other than to re-establish the pension plan that the NDP government removed by legislation," said Hardwicke. "At a time when money is tight, it is irresponsible and misleading for her to authorize spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to place ads throughout British Columbia. To advertise that this government has been fair and responsible is a gross misrepresentation of the facts," he said. "For several weeks prior to the ads the health minister made statements suggesting a settlement with the BCMA was 'imminent', litis is further evidence of her distortion of the facts." Hardwicke offered a challenge to the minister. "If she really does believe her offer is fair and responsible then let's put it to the test by sending the whole matter to a mediator. Let's resolve things once and for all, the way most major issues of public importance are solved - through mediation and binding arbitration. Our side will agree to that and we'll live with the result. How about it Ms. Cull?" The public supports the approach. So far 235,000 British ^Columbians have signed a petition calling for an end to this dispute through mediation and binding arbitration, Hardwicke said. He said unless the NDP's attitude towards the medical profession changes it will lead to a gradual erosion of medicare and the establishment of a two-tiered system. "Canada is the only country in the world without two-tiered medical care and the only reason there has been a successful medicare system for the past quarter century is that previous governments have negotiated in good faith with the profession," added Hardwicke. EYE-DENTIFICATION of Aldergrove owners of lost keys is easy when key-chains cany the secret- number mini key-tags of the Tuberculous and Chest Disabled Veterans' Association. The TB Vets, who are mailing out 1,020,948 tags throughout B.C., including 2,742 regular Aldergrove recipients, have traced and returned 134,778 sets since 1946.

Diane Kliewer, pf Seconds Count, begins sessions at St. Alban's hall in mid- February. Kliewer, who has taught and worked for the Workers' Compensation Board and St. John's Ambulance, is now affiliated as a Red Cross instructor, and her courses are all certified with that organization. She has taught at Douglas and Vancouver City Colleges and worked as a first aid attendant at numerous public functions. Her exp«2rience includes volunteering with the ambulance at Seymour's ski hills, and at the PNE and Abbotsford f-Airport grounds. Her family moved to Langley four years ago, and because of cutbacks to educational institutions, she's moved into private enterprise with her courses. She has all the required equipment for classes, which are quite flexible in the hours, locations and costs involved. "I will train people on what to do to help before the expert help arrives, which unfortunately can take longer than people might expert," said Kliewer. Her courses are available in homes and places of business, as well, with a minimum of eight students required for private courses. Discounts are available for groups of 15 or more. The courses include everything up to, but not including, the industrial first aid level. She has taught this level, in her past, but it is only offered through the WCB. She is also available for presentations as a guest speaker. Her courses include emergency and standard fkst aid and CPR, CPR levels A through D, the babysitter course and the childsafe course. The latter is the standard recognized for workers at daycares or presithools, while the babysitter course is designed for students aged 11 to 15 years. Kliewer, who also volunteered at the mass CPR training course that brought out over 80 people to the Langley Conference Centre in November, says many of her students come to the courses "after the fact" of experiencing a serious or life-threatening situation. She recalls that one came to her after a hunting trip which was scutded by one of the men getting frostbite. "They warmed up his feet in a frying pan on the woodstove, and it was working but when they tried to lift his feet out of the pan they found they had burned his skin onto the metal. He had no feeling in his feet, so they didn't realize what was wrong until it was too late. The poor fellow suffered a lot of pain and skin grafts, when what they should have done is simply gone for help. His feet were frozen, he was in no pain because there was no feeling, and he needn't have gone through all that pain if they had gone for mssdical assistance." Kliewer's courses will prepare people for such camping emergencies, or even help with the actions needed for a domestic accident or heart attack. For information call her at 530-2316. Resolve to recycle in '93 Resolving to do your part for the environment next year could be as simple as sorting last year's Christmas cards. In the tradition of New Year's Day and New Year's resolutions, the Greater Vancouver Regional District has a number of environmentally-friendly resolutions to suggest. Start 1993 off by storing last year's Christmas paper, gift boxes, and cards for reuse next year. If this year's gifts came with packing chips, consider donating them to a florist or pottery shop. Prepare for birthday present wrapping in the New Year by gathering old calendar photos, maps, wallpaper, and generic Christmas paper for reuse. Resolve to augment your supply of used paper with tea towels, baskets, scarfs, newspaper comics, clothing, or homemade bags made of fabric scraps. The grocery store is another good place to Go Green. Start the year with a good supply of cloth shopping bags and store them in the car or near the door for easy access. Buy food in bulk, and look for products that have minimal packaging. Other suggestions include a switch to non-toxic household cleaners and to use, trade, or give away unused paint to a community group or theatre troupe.

VANCOUVER - B.C. remains a star attraction in the international and television industry with record numbers of productions adding record dollars to the provincial economy in 1992. According to statistics released by the B.C. Film Commission, 61 productions were shot in B.C. in 1992, up from 53 a year ago. Of total 1992 production budgets of $368.23-million, $211.19-million was spent in B.C. This is the first time since 1989 that dollars spent in B.C. have exceeded $200- million. "After a brief plateau period, we're climbing again in terms of the amount of money spent in B.C. on goods and services in support of the film industry," says Film Commission director Dianne Neufeld. The number of productions shot in B.C. has incrctased every year for the past 10 years. "The development of non-polluting, knowledge-based industries such as the film industry is vital to the diversification of B.C.'s economy," says Oksana Exell, president of the B.C. Trade Development Corporation, which incorporates the B.C. Film Commission. Television production far exceeds feature film production, meaning that it has become the mainstay of the entertainment business, says Neufeld. However, features are still strong and some significant films were shot in B.C. in 1992. Among them were: Alive, shot in the Invermere area; Stephen King's Needful Things shot in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast; and This Boy's Life, starring Robert DeNiro shot at the Seymour Demonstration Forest. Cannell Films of Canada based in Vancouver, remains active in North America. British Columbia's reputation as a major television production centre was strengthened this year by producer Aaron Spelling who is presently' renovating an abandoned brewery as the production centre for Spelling Television Canada Inc. TV movie production remained strong. Two of the more significant productions in 1992 were the Exxon Vaides Story, in which an environmental disaster was recreated using ^'rspecial effects, and The Man Upstairs starring Katharine Hepburn. Film commission statistics do not track commercials or industrial film production. Neufeld points out that U.S. toy commercials and animation voicing have also been active sectors for B.C. adding to the positive economic i?Hmpact of the entertainment industry on the provincial economy.

JANUARY 7. 1993 SENIORS'NEWS New beginnings made Charley's Aunt is coming By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - New Year is a time for new beginnings, resolutions are made, plans for the year, trips and changes in lifestyle and so on. Yev the year has oome and gone and now we've ushssred in 1993- We didn't ask for this kind of a winter. After the lovely weather we had at this time last year it seems pretty severe, but perhaps it will be short lived. Some Art Club news came to my attention. There's been an election of officers and the new president is Vera Winn, with Audrey Fatkin as vice president, treasurer is Lillian Duff and Helen Poppy is secretary. The next meeting will be held Jan. 13. Olwynn Keeling, who has been instruscting in water color, will give two more lessons in the new year. Don't forget the General Meeting Friday, Jan. 8 at 1:30 p.m. The date has been changed to the second Friday of the month since New Years Day fell on the first Friday. The New Years Dance was a success with about seventy attending. Door prize went to Eleanor Anderson and Cliff Scott. There were three 50-50 given away. Recipients were Belinda Burns, Vern Nash and Bernice (didn't get her last name). Spot dances went to Pat and Bill, and Stan Kay and partner. Leap year ended with the old year. Saturday dance was well attended considering the weather conditions, about sixty were out. Door prize was won by Bill Kazlowski and Helen Souther. 50-50 winners were Vern Nash and Mary Anderson. Spots went to Charlie Milward and Evelyn Johnson and Charlie Draper and Bunny Hamilton. Two visitors were welcomed, Al Kendall of Surrey and Laura Baritch of Chilliwack. Choral Group, carpet bowling, bridge will all resume this week. Guess this is Seniors News for this week. Why do they bury lawyers at sea? Down deep they're not all bad.

A new lease on life for B.C. smokers VANCOUVER - B.C. smokers can have a new lease on life in 1993 with hdp from the British Columbia Lung Association. The Lung Association wants every smoker in the province to become smoke-free and is offering a free booklet on how to do it. Called "Quit Tips", it contains practical advice on giving up cigarettes for life. "The facts are that 38,000 Canadians die of smoking- related diseases such as lung cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchitis every year. Quitting smoking will improve your odds against these crippling lung diseases and enhance your quality of life," says Kelly Ablog- Morrant, BCLA director of health education and program services. The "Quit Tips" booklet contains ideas on coping with nicotine withdrawal, handling social situations without having to smoke, and it suggests personal reSvarsds for persevering with your goal to stay smoke-free. Marking its 85th anniversary this year, BCLA is a voluntary health agency with 130,000 supporters across the province. The association funds medical research and conducts public and professional education programs.

Dr. Frank Ryan, consultant physician and writer, could barely believe the threat himself while researching his new book, Tuberculosis: The Greatest Story Never Told in which he traces the "largely forgotten" story of the control of mycobacterium tuberculosis which "consumes" or wastes away almost any part of the body, especially the lungs. So much had the threat faded that when Ryan embarked on his book British health officials considered abandoning routine vaccinations of schoolchildren. Soon after, faced with growing public health concern over a worldwide resurgence of TB, they "thought it prudent to continue." In 1990, says Ryan, the World Health Organization estimated that TB caused 2.9-million deaths, making the disease the largest cause of death from a single pathogen in the world. America's irmer cities, rife from overcrowding, immigrants from countries where TB is prevatent and drug abuse, increasingly contain a potent disease mix in a western setting. But even more sinister is what Ryan calls an "alliance of terror" between TB and the spread of Aids in cities such as New York and San Francisco. The problem is that those with HIV inflection have weakened immune systems and very little defense against tuberculosis. Fashion aids cancer research SURREY - "New York! New York!" is the inspiration for the Cancer Society fashion show, "Concorde d'Elegance", to be staged for the sixth year at the Surrey Arts Centre Theatre on Wednesday, January 27 at 8 p.m. Sponsored annually by Ella's in Langley, boutique owner Ella Little returned recently from the Big Apple armed with fashions, ideas and music to make the year's show a glittering opener for the new fashion season. Career women from various walksjjrrt'of life volunteer time to model during the first half of the show, while nsfsfofessional models throw the show into high gear during the second segment. Entertaining between the two segments will be the Fraser Valley Dance Centre. A trip for two to Las Vegas or Reno, donated by Pleasure Tours, is induded in the list of over $6,000 worth of raffle prizes this year. Clothes from famous designers such as Escada, Stizzoli, Neto Leather and Dino Valiano always add to the excitement making raffle ticket sales hectic. Pastries and refreshments will be served at the reception following the show with gifts of daffodils, perfume and sdioco- lates for patrons to take home. To date the show has raised over $50,000 for cancer education and research. A worthwhile way to start the New Year - a feelgood evening in January to make everyone a winner. Traditionally sold out in advance, seats are now on sale from Cancer Society offices in Langley (533-8072), Surrey (588- 2228) and White Rock (538-0011), Ella's (530-8515), Pflfj.

LONDON - The human race is threatened by an encounter 134 years from now with a six-mile wide visitor from outer space. Mankind has a one-in-400 chance of being wiped out by a giant comet which threatens to smash into the earth in 134 years time. Comet Swift-Tutde crosses the earth's orbit approximately every 130 years and is due to make its next close approach in 2126, when, for the first time, it "will come dose enough to hit us. It is about six miles across and traveling at a speed of about 130,000 mph. "The only people who would be likely to survive are those who might be living in caves," says Prof. Tom Gehrels, chief investigator of Arizona University's Spacewatch project. "It's impact would create an explosion about 1,000-million times greater than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. It would not matter whether it struck the land or the sea. The whole planet would shake and every building would collapse. The impact would throw up a huge cloud of dust which would envelop the globe for many years, blocking off the sun's heat and producing a temporary ice age." THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 7. 1993 13 W Network for disabled Dr. Graham Burton investigates the properties of vitamin E in his Ottawa laboratory. Research shows vitamin E benefits OTTAWA - Why is a human body like butter? The basic building blosdc of butter is fat. One of the basic building blocks of the human • body is fat. Butter can go rancid. So can the human body. Vitamin E hdps keep butter fresh. The same for the human body. Long dismissed as a major player in maintaining human health, Vitamin E has semerged as a vital line of defence against disease. Dr. Graham Burton of the National Research Council has spent a large part of his research life examining how small amounts of the vitamin are necessary for protecting us against the ravages of an element that is better known for keeping us alive: oxygen. But how can oxygen be an enemy? Dr: Burton, head of the Molecular Sdectivity Group at NRC's Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences, explains that oxygen scan react with the polyunsaturated fats in our bodies, turning them rancid. The trouble starts when something upsets the body's biochemical balance and creates an excess of "free radicals", or unstable molecules lacking the normal complement of paired electrons. Exposed to oxygen, the free radicals can unleash a destructive runaway chemical chain reaction. "What happens is that the free radical and oxygen combine to produce a peroxy radical that then attacks other molecules, especially the polyunsaturated fat molecules that are part of every cell in our body," says Dr. Burton. "It's .essentially a process of oxidation which, if not stopped, would destroy our cells. Without protection, the effects on the body would be quite devastating." In 1978, shortly after he joined Dr. Keith Ingold, the SIMS group discovered that Vitamin E is key to blocking the reaction of peroxy radicals with fat molecules. "It is a chain-breaking antioxidant," Dr. Burton says. "And you can protect a lot of fat molecules with just a small amount of Vitamin E." Vitamin E deficiency can cause many debilitating diseases. Inanimate, ailments such as muscle deterioration, liver damage, swelling of the brain, and reproductive failure are common. In humans prolonged lack of Vitamin E appears to lead to cholesterol build-up, hardening of the arteries, musde damage, and heart diseases. Burton, Ingold and their team also found that Vitamin E is a good defence against tissue damage that can occur during the type of major surgery that involves shutting off and then restoring the blood flow to heart tissue. "We worked with a team of doctors at the Toronto General Hospital to conduct dinical tests on elective heart surgery patients, and found that participants who took 400 intssrnational units of Vitamin E a day for two weeks before thek operation did better than those who didn't," says Burton. There are a number of good natural sources of Vitamin E, such as seeds, nuts and wheat germ, but Dr. Burton says taking Vitamin E supplements, available at any drugstore, is probably the surest way to ensure we are getting adequate amounts. But nobody should expect an overnight improvement in thek health by taking suppls^ments. Vitamin E is not water soluble and is absorbed very slowly by the body. It is known that taking massive amounts of vitamin E • will increase only modestly the total amount of the vitamin in the body. Still, says Dr. Burton, there is no harm done in increasing Vitamin E intake. "You could treat it like insurance," he says. "You have nothing much to lose, and possibly lots of protection to gain, by taking supplements." Probing the musteries of Vitamin E continue to keep Dr. Burton and his NRC team busy. For one, they are trying to develop a water-soluble version of the vitamin that can be absorbed quisddy by the body. In this way, they hope to make Vitamin E a major player in therapeutic as well as preventive medicine. "It's an interesting challenge," says Dr. Burton, "but I figure our group at NRC has perhaps the best chance of discovering the full benefits of Vitamin E." WHITE ROCK - The Canadian Communications Network for the Disabled is a new and imaginative service that will provide nation-wide member to member contact for business, research, communications, and educational purposes. It is a service that will give members of the disabled community easy access to one another for support and mutual benefit. "The future for the disabled is in working together towards real economic independence without the dkect (and well meaning) support of charitable and social organizations. We must prove to ourselves, to our children and to the world . at large, that our presence on this earth is not only necessary but desirable. Self- esteem and recognition are achieved when people make contributions that are seen as such, and this can only be done by harmonizing with others. The network is about empowerment. Our .challenge is to show how co-operation makes for positive and creative change," said spokesperson Phillip Jones. "The new reality is that knowledge itself is the engine that is driving, and will with increasing importance, continue to drive the modern economy. With sophisticated learning devices and modern communication tools, we are capable of creating a powerful culture that will bring a fresh wisdom to the world. Connection is power." "Loneliness, discouragement and despak have . up to now been our closest allies. We must turn this around by fully representing oursdves as the social, political, and economic force that we are." The disabled have real advantages. They are highly visible. They are persistent and tenacious people. They are a powerful but latent economic reality, and they are not going to go away. The network will provide access to a wide range of things: the best and latest technologies, stock market analysis, tutorials, forums, hobbies, crafts, support groups, business and educational opportunities or anything members might find important and interesting. Each member will be expected to provide complete information about him/herself in order that appropriate match-ups and relationships can be made. A membership will cost $35. and the monthly newsletter with updated membership, conferences etc. will cost $6. per month or $48. per yr. They encourage you to participate if there is even one small thing that you might contribute. The hope is that people of all ages will get involved.

JANUARY 7. 1993 WHAT'S IN STORE? B.C. agriculture in the worid economy MATSQUI - The Abbotsford- Matsqui Chamber of Commerce host the seminar, B.C. Agriculture in the World Economy on Thursday, January 28 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ag-Rec Building, 32470 Haida Drive. This seminar is designed to address the question - How Can Canadian Agriculture ..be Competitive with Canadian Costs and U.S. or World Prices? The seminar's mission statement is to focus on the new realities in which agriculture must compete. The new realities will require changes on the part of the farmers, processors and governme^te to develop a partnership whidi will result in a growing prosperous farm economy. Some of the questions debated will be "What are the rules resulting from the FTA, NAFTA and GATT agreements? "To what extent and how will the governments of the U.S. and the E.E.C. continue to support their agricultural industry? "How will this affect what we do in Canada? "How will the support for agriculture by Canadian and B.C. Governments need to change to be compatible with international trading rules? The distinguished line-up of keynote speakers will consider this challenge from a financial, Farm income up but decline expected in '93 OTTAWA - Net cash income of Canadian farmers is expected to range between $67- and $7.7- billion in 1992, an increase of between 23 and 41 percent over 1991, according to a forecast released today by Agriculture Canada economists. The increase is due mainly to increased program payments, Canadian Wheat Board final payments and an improved livestock oudook, which more than oflfset lower crop receipts. Net cash income - which is the measure of cash receipts less expenses - is expected to increase in 1992 in all provinces except Prince Edward Island. The largest increases are expected in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta. WhilevSmcome & expected to be higher in 1992, projections for 1993 indicate a decline in net cash income. Net cash income anas 1993 is currently forecast at between $5.6-billion and $6.7- billion. Realized net income in 1993, which included depreciation, is expected to range between $32-billion and $4.3- billion. ■ Provincially, net cash income is forecast to decrease in all provinces in 1993, except British Columbia. A decrease of between nine and 24 percent is expected in the western province while the eastern provinces are expected to show a decrease of between four and 20 percapfc Saskatchewan and P.E.I, are expected to show the largest decreases. The decrease in Saskatchewan reflects the low quality of the 1992-93 crop in some regions of the province and the lower level of support available in Saskatchewan ko deal with such quality problems. The provincial gross revenue, insurance plan was changed in 1992 and as a result does not compensate for quality losses. The decrease in P.E.I, is largely because of a drop in program payments. Net cash income for the grains and oilseeds sector, which represents total receipts less expenses, is expected to increase to between $2.1- and $2.6-billion in 1992. This represents an inscrease of between four and 27 percent from 1991 levels. For 1993, net cash income for the grains and oilseeds sector is expected to be between $1.4- and $1.9-billion. For all other commodities, net cash income is expected to be between $4.6- and $51-billion for 1992, and between $4.1- and $5.0-billion for 1993. legal, international, federal and provincial perspective.

The surv«2y results show that avssrage farm assets in Canada increased marginally by 2.1 p«tr cent to $536,600 betwetai Dec. 31, 1989 and Dec. 31, 1991. The survey - conducted in cooperation with Agriculture Canada and Statistics Canada - shows the average net worth of Canadian farms increased 1.7 per cent to $441,600 in the same two- year period. The study was undertaken tb: provide data to evaluate and measure changes in the financial situation of Canada fanners. There are significant differences in the results among regions. British Columbia had the largest increase in average assets, at 12.8 per cent, followed $%£ Quebec at 11 per cent. Alberta reported a decrease of 3-4 per cent. B.C., Quebec and the Atlantic provinces also had the highest gains in average net worth, at 17.4, 8.4 and six p«2r cent, respectively. The average debt load of: fanners across Canada increased by 4.2 per cent, to $95,000 in 1992 from $91,200 in 1989. In Alberta and B.C., in comparison, liabilities decreased rjby 5.3 per cent and 10.9 per cent respectively. Dairy enterprises had the largest increase in net worth - increasing 10.2 per stent to $593,600 - but also carried the largest average debt, according to the survey results.

JANUARY 7. 1993 15 A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Shedding those pounds LANGLEY - It's that time of year again, to make good the promises we made to ourselves as we inhaled that second helping of Aunt Martha's pumpkin pie - time to get rid of those extra pounds. Bssfore you begin any kind of weight loss program, remember to talk to your family physician. It is important your doctor is aware of specifically what program you're planning to follow, according to Susan Rasmussen, a Registered Dietician Nutritionist (RDN) at Langley Memorial Hospital She also recommends programs that are based on Canada's Food Guide that indude the four basic food groups: Fruit and Vegetables; Milk ' and Milk Products; Bread and Cereals; and Meats and Meat Alternates. A reasonable weight loss, when you're following a plan or program is one to two pounds a week, according to Susan. "If you lose the weight too quickly by drastically reducing your food intake, you teach your body to burn calories slowly. You may become discouraged when your weight "plateaus" (you stop losing) and feeling frustrated you resume your normal eating pattern and later find yourself gaining back the Peer support If for the • '^^| young moms LANGLEY - Family Services has started a Peer Support Group for Young Mom's. The moms give and receive emotional support and friendship through a free drop-in. The group for Young Mom's and Tots meets every Wednesday afternoon from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Langley Family Services, 5339 - 207 Street in Langley. For more information call Patsy at 534-7921. lost weight, if not more," she said. The formula for losing weight is a simple one - if you burn more (calories in activity than you consume from food, you lose weight. Exercise is an important component of this formula. Through regular exercise you can speed up your metabolism, burn calories at a faster rate and start to see the weight and inches come off quicker than if you didn't exercise. Other benefits of regular exercise indude musde toning and an increased sense of well being as your blood circulates faster and more oxygen reaches your brain. During the weight loss dasses at the hospital, the dieticians recommend a daily minimum of 1200 calories for women and 1500 for men. Admission to the weight loss program at LMH is by physician referral. After attending the two hour class, you can choose the frequency of your follow up program (once a week, twice a month etc.) where you meet with a registered dietician on a one to one basis. What's the secret to successful weight loss? Susan, who has provided weight loss counselling to many people, believes that ultimately it's the degree of commitment that will determine your success. "There are many dietician-approved programs and tools for weight loss but they will only be effective if you are ready to make the commitment to yourself." Finally, once the weight has come off, remember all of the good habits you learned about food choices and keep practicing them. To maintain your weight loss, the change you have made in your eating habits must be permanent. That doesn't mean you can't have a piece of pie - just as long as you don't have one every day!

Mothers March organizers reach out to volunteers VANCOUVER - "It's that time of year again, time for us to enlist the participation of volunteers for the 40th annual Kinsmen Mothers' March. Last year more than 20,000 volunteers helped us to raise over $1.3-million. This year our goal is $2-mill ion so we need all the volunteers we can get to canvass for us between January 15 and 31," says Nancy Macdougall, director of marketing and development, for the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation of B.C. The success of the Kinsmen Mothers' March depends on the participation and support of volunteers, Nancy adds. "Everyone's help is needed. Whether you are male or female, young or old, every Kinsmen 'Marching Mother* makes a differen«ce. Tlie more people who volunteer to canvass door-to-door, the more households that will be reached and the more effective our campaign will be." The Kinsmen Mothers' March, an annual provincial door-to- door compaign, is the Kinsmen Rehabilitation Foundation of B.C.'s largest fundraising campaign. Funds go towards helping the people of B.C. with physical disabilities. "There are more than 365,000 people with disabilities in B.C. and many rely on the KRF for information and assistance. We play a vital role in ensuring that people with physical disabilities attain independence and equality of opportunity. We assist families and individuals who are on fixed or limited incomes and do not have the financial resources to deal with the costs of living with a disability," says Nancy. Net proceeds raised by the Kinsmen Mothers' March go directly to provide programs and services for residents of B.C. with physical disabilities.

Goes without saying that our local newspaper is the verbal link of any town. In this case a link with the recent "transplant" to Armstrong. I heard comments about a statement that I made about our weather being the same. Some chuckled and said that I might change my mind. Change my mind I have; indeed! Last week, which would make it the middle of December we got a light snowfall that I thought wouldn't amount to a hill of beans; well it didn't amount to beans, but when it finished three days later; we had 17 inches of dry, fluffy gorgeous snow. It's very easy to shovel out; however as soon as you get the driveway cls^ared; old man winter says, "I'll fix your little wagon" and sends down another few inches. I'm writing this on Xmas Eve and by the looks of it we'll not be getting more snow until after Xmas; however we certainly have enough to see through the New Year! A big thank you to all who have written both Don and myself. I promise to get down to answering them real soon. Retirement so far is going swell. We are both keeping busy and making new friends up here in Armstrong. Don is on two bowling teams in the Seniors Division and we are both very active in the Legion, Branch 35. As most of you know, I'm into the dollhouse making and other miniatures, and it seems to be an unknown hobby here; but as word spreads as it does in a small town, people are showing a great interest in it. Hopefully the Fall Fair here next year will have some dollhouses on show. We are not spending Xmas alone this year as my sister, Elizabeth, from White Rock, is up to celebrate with us. The trip from the coast was one of great beauty, as the towns and cities . that separate us are all decked out with their lights of Yuletide. Just a note from the Citizen Crime Patrol; our detachment here sends their thanks to the Langley members who so generously sent a copy of their course to us. Our members here will also get the full page coverage that was run in the Aldergrove Star. We all benefit when we 'exchange knowledge and helpful hints. Thanks guys! Guess that will wrap it up for this time. Both Don and I hope that your Xmas was a great one and once again may we both say a very, Happy New Year, to all of you, from the snows of Armstrong.

To date the book has been translated into twelve languages, selling over 125,000 copies in North America alone. Now Shampoo Planet, his second novel, has shot to number two on the Globe and Mail national bestseller list, stopped short of top spot by GenerationX, which is still going strong more than a year after publication. Occupying the top two positions may be a first for a Canadian. Certainly, it's a rarity. Each book sets out to capture the essence of a group. GenerationX portrays the "twen- tysomethings," while Shampoo Planet deals with the MTV Global Teens. Andy Palmer, the narrator of Generation X, characterizes the Global Teens, who form the focus of Shampoo Planet. They tend to be cliquish and have a nostalgia for the immediate past. Since they can't afford "ludicrously over-priced apartments," they, live at home, building designer wardrobes while plastering their heads with a vast array of name brand shampoos, gels and conditioners. Tyler Johnson, the key Global Teen in Shampoo Planet, wants nothing quite as much as a job at Bechtol, a company that his mother's hippy generation firebombed in a protest. While 20-year-old Tyler has a career goal, he and the three central characters of Generation X, Andy, Dag and Claire, are essentially adrift, looking for direction in life. And that is reflected in the episodic, meandering shape of both books. Readers looking for suspense or a strong plot—beware. Neither book has much of either. Instead they excel when depicting the lifestyles and attitudes of their characters, and both are heavily laced with slang and the jargon of fashion, computers and electronic gadgetry. Tyler doesn't use the remote control to change TV channels. He uses his "zapper" to "troll" through "late- nite TV" looking for "cool bits." Coupland's success apparently began when Generation X gained a cult following among university students in British Columbia. Then, by word of mouth, its popularity mushroomed into the mainstream. But it seems to me that these books will appeal most to members of the sets they depict—generation X, the Global Teens and curious ex-hippies. There, the author seems to be carving quite a niche for himself. Currently at work on a new novel about topsoil erosion, tentatively entitled Dusters, Coupland seems again to be pursuing his established strengths—the fiction of ideas and trends enlivened by comedy. Offbeat Atwood Modernized folktales, satires and fantasies, parables and puzzles, monologues and dialogues, ruminations, variations and meditations. The 27 short pieces in Margaret Atwood's Good Bones are varied and reminiscent of her previous collection, Murder in the Dark. With a knack for deadpan humour, Atwood can place the wildest propositions on paper, and then, with relentless logic and splendid detail, pursue their consequences to outrageous conclusions. What happens when you assume that "Dead stumps are the favourite disguises of wild animals"? To find out, read "Stump Hunting." Or try "Gertrude Talks Back," which =reveals with mind-softening plausibility who really killed Hamlet's father in Shakespeare's play. If you're hooked on Atwood's wit, you'll love this book. It's as simple as that. THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JANUARY 7. 1993 17 Man suing army for torture VICTORIA - A Vancouver Island man has filed suit for punitive damages against the Canadian military for what he says was torture during the 1970s. David Way, 37, has charged that as a private with the Manitoba Armed Forces Base he was subjected to torture by military police which included beatings, electrocution and drowning attempts, all done as a result of alleged "trumped up charges." Way says the suppressed memories of what happened to him cost him his job and his wife. "For 18 years I've been a victim, a Canadian Armed Forces victim," Way says. Military officials have offered no comment on the bizarre charges, Way says.

VOX 1A0 Phone: 856-8303 Fax: 856-5212 Loggers fined VANCOUVER - A provincial court has found Fletcher Challenge of Canada Ltd. and Copper Contracting Company guilty of harmful destruction of fish habitat in the Queen Charlotte Islands. Fletcher Challenge was fined $1,000 and required to make a $15,000 contribution to the Salmonid Enhancement Program. Copper Contracting Company was fined $500 and required to make a $2,000 contribution to the salmonid program. The provincial court ruling arose from charges laid under the Fisheries Act almost two years ago after staff from DFO found that the forestry companies had felled timber into a tributary of Indian Cabin Creek while salmon were spawning. Creek is ranked by the department as the fourth highest salmon producer of all streams draining into Skidegate Inlet. Revisit provincial gas tax spending, demand motorists BURNABY - B.C. motorists pay millions of dollars in gasoline taxes which should be used to finance road construction and maintenance. They should not be subject to additional taxes simply because the money currssntly collected goes into "general revenue," says the BC Automobile Association. Responding to a suggestion by the BC Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association that the provincial govssrnment consider a temporary surtax on gasoline sold on Vancouver Island to revive construction of the Island Highway, BCAA notes that some $320-million dollars in gas taxes Stuffed hippo for a song CHESHIRE, England - One of the richest couples in Britain, the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, have staged the strangest auction of the year at their mist- shrouded ancestral home. Their graces realized $406,332 on the auction at Eaton Hall. The castoffs included his Mister Cappuccino coffee machine ($44), his stuffed hippopotamus in blue pajamas ($506), his black painted music stands for the Eccleton village choir ($50) and, among a vast array of modesdy-inspired trash, his corridor matting, dog sleigh, clothes horse, trouser press, knights of armor chess set, Victorian hip bath, old Hoover fridge and stick-back kitchen chairs. are already collected annually by the province. "It's estimated that approximately $600-million is needed to finish the Island Highway construction. If the money Victoria iturrendy collects on each litre of gasoline was put towards road construction and maintenance, instead of being dropped into the non-specific 'general revenue' area, it would go a long way to haying improv«2d roadways and a true "user pay" system," said John Ratel, BCAA's director of government affairs. "And if all levels of .taxation on gasoline were applied bacdc to transportation, we'd see that some $750-million per year is generated by the B.C. motorist." As well, although the Road Builders Association suggests a "temporary" gasoline surtax, BCAA believes that it would become. such a lucrative source of revenue that a government would be reluctant to remove it, even once construction was finished and paid for. "We all remember that the tolls on the Coquihalla Highway were to be a 'temporary' measure," said Ratel. "Well it's six years later and the government shows no signs of removing the tolL It's time governments stopped seeing motorists as a never- ending source of revenue, and started examining ways to utilize the money collected through tolls, transit levies and taxes on gasoline more effectivdy, (and for the purposes ' for which they're intended)."

The game is like Russian Roulette in that it can result in death, but the lethal choice of weapon is alcohol, not a gun. In Russian Roulette, there's only one loser but all participants bear that ignominious title in One Last Shot - and often a non-player also holds a losing hand. In each game, if the drunk driver gets home without incident, his feeling of invulnerability grows. Likewise, the host figures the guest can hold his drink and happily deals another hand at the next opportunity. But inevitably, One Last Shot will be played once too often and the result will be at least a loss of license, but it could be a loss of life. High stakes indeed. So, the driver is clearly a loser, but what about the party thrower? A feeling of guilt is obviously one price paid by the host, but there is a more costly form of guilt that Sew either know or think about. Existing legislation make it possible for the victims of a drunk-driving accident and the drunken friend to sue the party host Owner-oocupi«2is are r«^sponsible for what happens on thek premises. If drinks are given to a drink-impaired guest and that person is then allowed to drive home, then the party-thrower's house and belongings could be on the line. Bar owners are akeady being sued for failing to quit serving customers who have subsequently thrashed their cars. Unhappy hosts will undoubtedly be targeted, as victims' families and insurance companies seek to recover the often astronomical costs associated with drunk-driving smashes. Okay, gentle reader, . you understand how a victim might sue but can't see your buddy turning on you?? Let me try to understand this rationale. You are quite willing to endanger your friend's life with too much booze and yet you still call yourself a friend and believed he would protect you? Think about this scenario: A drunken driver who maims or kills somebody could face a life sentence of financial ruin. His lawyer points out your responsibility to prot<2Ct him from himself and adds that your financial worth is* far greater than your friend's. Still think you're okay, eh' Don't put your friendship to the test this festive season. Recognize the real cost of throwing a party includes transportation and build it into your budget. That might mean setting up a temporary account with a scar company to get your guests home. You could rent a minibus and hire a penniless student to play chauffeur for the night. Encourage car pools with one designated driver or stay sober yourself and ferry people home. And let it be known to your guests that you expect them to take advantage of your transport plans. If -they choose to drive, they should be welcome only if they leave their keys at the door. That way you can decide who drives home. If you are not prepared to go to this kind of trouble or expense, ask yourself if you can really afford to throw a party or how much you rtaally tare about your guests. If your guests make a fuss and dont appreciate what you're doing, I would question how much they care about you. Whatever you do, don't deal yourself in for a game of One Last Shot by serving anybody with one for the road. The man who was 'Q' dead LONDON - Charles Fraser- Smith, who recently died at age 88, was the Secret Services' gadgets wizard during the Second World War, a role which made him the model for 'Q' in the James Bond books. His professional pride, however, was deeply offended by Ian Fleming's amateurism. He had sent golf balls with compasses inside to prisoners in Germany; the tricked up golf balls in Diamonds are Forever, by contrast, would not even have bounced. Much of Fraser-Smith's work was directed towards helping prisoners of the Reich, or agents in Nazi Germany. Among Fraser-Smith's gadgetry were maps hidden in hairbrushes which could be opened by the tugging of particular bristles, or printed on silk in invisible ink. Agents were given cigarette lighters that contained cameras, and shaving brushes that opened by unscrewing a special left- hand thread to provide space for film. 22 THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

JANUARY 7. 1993 23 I A requiem for the '60s By CHARLES SPENCER LONDON - Thssre is something about the former Miss Linda Eastman that seems to get right up people's noses. She has been the butt of cruel jokes and tasteless graffiti ever since she started going out with Paul McCartney, though things got really vicious when she started "performing" with his band Wings. She doesn't exactly help her cause by her loony brand of militant vegetarianism, her belief that she can communicate with peacocks, and her addiction to whimsical-pimsical utterances that would have sounded ludicrous even at the height of the Summer of Love after several large joints. She ends her new collection of photographs, Sixti«2s: Portrait of an Era (published in Britain by Pyramid at $60) with what I suppose must be regarded as her pCTsonal manifesto: "I'm into nature and the seasons and blossoms and snowflakes, and I'm not keen to follow the line that everyone else is following. I'm into Life." It isn't just the feyness of this that makes the reader's buttocks clench with embarrassment. It's the arrogance. If Mrs. McCartney doesn't follow anyone else's line and she's into Life, where does that leave the rest of us? Into death, presumably. But reading the text accompanying the photographs, I often found myself wanning to Mrs. McCartney as well as squirming. Like Miss Bates in Jane Austen's Emma, "what is good and what is ridiculous are most unfortunately blended in her." There's"" an absence of guile, and a propensity to bathos, that make her stubbornly endearing. Taking pictures of the Obituaries ANTONSEN : Mr. August Antonsen passed away at Jackman Man<w,'- Aldergrove, B.C. on Wednesday, December 30, 1992, aged 86 years.

No service by request. Henderson's Funeral Home in care of arrangements. Grateful Dead at the Haight Ashbury mansion, Linda McCartney primly points out that the place "was a bit sloppy" and that the band "were throwing firecrackers at the time and generally acting like children." The schoolmistressy tone continues with the Kinks: "I had expected them to be all sweetness and light but they were actually quite cheeky." Keith Moon, however, the merry prankster of the Who, was clearly teacher's pet. "Moony, despite his wild reputation, I always found to be a complete gendeman", while Jim Morrison inspires her to a spot of do-it- yourself psychology: "Jim was essentially a shy person ... maybe he felt deprived of real meaningful love." Roll over Sigmund Freud and tell Carl Jung the news. But though it is easy to mock, there is no doubt that thee photographs are superb, and those, like myself, who believe that pop music has never really recaptured the excitement of those heady years in the mid-to- late Sixties are likely to find this 'collection irresistible., Beneath the fey facade, the young Linda Eastman was clearly a tough cookie, bringing up a young daugltfer alone in New York City, she received her fkst big break when working as a dogsbody on a glossy society magazine. Opening the post one morning, she found an invitation to a press reception for the Rolling Stones on a luxury yacht. "It wasn't an invitation addressed to me, but I took^^t and hid it in my drawer," she confesses, and when she turned up on the big day she was the only one of all the photographers crowding on the pier to be invited to join the party. "Maybe it was because the Stones fancied a young, blonde-haired girl on board," she says. You get the impression that the ambitious young photographer wasnt slow in exploiting her youthful good looks to get the pictures she wanted. But she was more than a rock . 'n' roll bimbo. She appears to have become a genuine friend of many of the musicians, "like a band member whose instrument was the camera" and at their considerable best the photographs lavjiare the character of thek subjects, as well as capturing the cxldly innocent excitement of the early days of psychedelia. And it is the innoc«tnce that finally makes this book a surprisingly moving s^xperience, for so many of the young, gifted people she photographed are now dead - most of them the victims of thek own recMess hedonism. Almost every other page becomes a heart-wrenching memento mori. Brian Jones wears a badge announcing that "Sex. is Here to Stay" but he wasn't. Nor was Jim Morrison, photographed in all his brooding early beauty, or Mania Cass seated amid the wreckage of a huge meal, or Jimi Hendrix, shown in a marvelous series of pictures experiencing orgasmic agonies during a guitar solo.
