June Willson with the original "test phone" once used by the Aldergrove to Langley exchange, now displayed at the Hart/BC Tel building. The president of the Alder Grove Heritage Society invites the public to stop by during Heritage Week's special activities here from Feb. 19 to 25. See story, page 12. -Kurt Langmann photo LIBERALS SQUARE OFF | Reformers move into high gear By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Provincial New Democrats and Liberals have yet to choose a candidate for this riding, but Reformers are already in full campaign mode. Dr. John Twidale, B.C. Reform candidate for Fort Langley-Aldergrove held a volunteer meeting Monday evening at Poppy Golf Course. - "The brochures are ready to distribute," said Twidale. "We need a volunteer for each polling area to deliver a brochure to each house door or rural mailbox to start the campaign. "I will then follow up with a door knocking campaign in the company of each poll volunteer to meet as many voters as possible in the next two months." The NDP have not set their nomination meeting date, but Liberals have set Feb. 28 at Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre for selection of their candidate. The race has winnowed to two men, Richard Coleman and Steve ' Ferguson, after Mel Kositsky failed to file documents by the Feb. 1 deadline. Kositsky had told The Star that week that he was intending to file, but obviously changed his mind and he did not disclose his reasons for the change of heart. Coleman joined the local Liberal party two years ago and has actively recruited membership and helped raise funds for the -party since that time. He told The Star that the party here is "quite healthy" on all fronts, and he expects a large turnout for the nomination meeting. Some of Ferguson's most ardent supporters are residents of the neighbouring Langley riding, however, there's a strong constituency for their current MLA Lynn Stephens. Stephens has not been as noteworthy a parliamentarian in Victoria as Gary Farrell- Collins, but she's more than compensated for that aspect in her unflagging work at the local grassroots level. Several Fort Langley-Aldergrove residents have commented that they get better personal service from Stephens' office than Farrell -Collins' office. Fort Langley-Aldergrove voters gave an overwhelming mandate to the novice Liberals and Farrell-Collins in 1991, and polls show that support continues to be strong in the key suburban areas of Aldergrove and Walnut Grove. However, Reform's leader, Jack Weisgerber and Twidale are also well-received by many residents here and will definitely make the upcoming election an interesting race. Ferguson, a township councillor who teaches in Surrey school district, no longer lives in the riding but owns development property here, in Murrayville. Coleman Please see page 3... FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE "OUT OF LINE" SAY VETS Permit paperwork and price protested ALDERGROVE - The Veterans Resort Society wants to enhance their Fraser Highway storefront with a $2,100 awning in front, but president William Jackson wrote council this week to complain that the township wants $1,105 for a permit to install it Coun. Muriel Arnason cocked an eyebrow at Monday's meeting when councillors voted to refer Jackson's request for waived or reduced fee to staff: "The permit costs more than the awning is worth?" Jackson said the vets had been presented with the Aldergrove Enhancement program suggestion last year, which informed them that they would receive a 30 per cent grant toward expenses for the upgrading, but now that they have the cash, "we are informed that there is a $1,105 fee for a permit This fee we consider completely out of line" as the enhancement will not generate revenue for the non-profit society. "Because we do not sell to the community, but serve our community, we think this fee should be waived, or at the very least, drastically reduced." Mayor John Scholtens said he'd like to "see the fees waived" in this case at least, but coun. Trudi Campen said council "can't arbitrarily eliminate them. We want to encourage improvement,' not discourage it We should look at the fees." 'Answer' faces 4 charges By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Bio-Waste Management, a composting company that makes soil additives, has been charged with three pollution related counts under the provincial Waste Management Act and one count under the Federal Fisheries Act, dating back to January and February 1995, and will be appearing in court on February 28. Ilie charges follow an investigation by B.C. Environment Conservation Officers into the release of effluent from a composting operation at the company's Abbotsford plant near Pepin Creek, a fish bearing stream that flows through Aldergrove Lake Park into Washington State where it enters the Nooksack River. According to conservation officer Fred Barns, liquid from decaying matter, which uses huge amounts of oxygen as it breaks down, can seep into nearby water supplies if not properly contained. In the short term, the lack of oxygen causes fish to suffocate. In the long term it kills plants causing fungus to grow, and changing the ecology of the river. Users of the park have said that the water in the creek used to have a strong odour, which has become less noticeable. A spokesperson for the company declined comment until after the court appearance, but did say they have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars improving the operations of the facility, which has been confirmed by Linda Vanderhoek of the Environmental Protection office. Massive sewage upgrade By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - The JAMES Sewage Treatment plan will be expanded by the end of October to handle twice its current capacity Right now the plant can handle waste from 120,000 residents, but the expansion will mean it can handle the expected doubling of the population in the Abbotsford, Mission and Aldergrove areas. The $4.4 million cost of expansion will be shared by the Federal and Provincial governments and the Central Fraser Valley Regional District Secondary treatment consists of removing dissolvable solids from the water, as opposed to primary treatment which only removes settled solids. The water that goes out is 97% cleaner than - the water that goes in. Teen shooting 'victim' charged ABBOTSFORD - The 17 year- old, shot while running from police after abandoning the stolen car he was driving, has appeared in court and faces numerous charges including theft, dangerous driving and driving without a licence. The incident happened on Wednesday, January 3, when an Abbotsford officer chased a stolen vehicle that went out of control in the 27100 block of 16 Avenue in Aldergrove. As the driver fled the scene, the officer fired several shots, hitting him in the leg. The second occupant of the vehicle, an 18 year-old, was not injured and will be charged later this week. The Langley RCMP investigation into the shooting has now been sent to crown counsel for, review. The investigation into the officer's comment, "That's what happens when you run from police," is still under investigation.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY 14,1996 Students put the squeeze on Ottawa By MONIQUEGALAZKA VICTORIA - Thousands of students, faculty and staff of post secondary institutions across the country took part in a National Day of Action last Wednesday to protest cuts in federal transfer payments to post secondary education. The Kwantlen University College Student Association claims that the differences between the 94/95 transfer payments and the 97/98 payments will be $131 million, or 10%, the equivalent to eliminating 15,000 spaces for students. The outcome will be larger classes, less courses offered, and tuidon increases as high as 25%. At the University College of the Fraser Valley, Student Society VP External Sandra Hakanson, said they are starting a post card campaign aimed at MPs involved' in education, and other social safety programs. They are also investigating alternatives the government has other than cutting education funding. A major move would be to have the large corporations that defer their taxes pay them instead. Billions of tax dollars are outstanding. In addition the Student Union Society is starting petitions and planning other ways to put the pressure on Ottawa to take the pressure off students. Armed robbers flee south ABBOTSFORD - Police are investigating the armed robbery of the Quality Inn on Sumas Way, at 4:30 p.m, Sunday, February 11. Two men entered the lobby, produced a knife described as having a wooden handle and an eight inch blade, and demanded all the money from the till. After receiving some cash the Election race...

Charles Bradford is an Aldergrove resident and former candidate for the party here. He told The Star that they were leaving the local nomination until after this week's provincial party leadership convention, which is expected to elect MLA Glen Clark as interim premier. Clark is unlikely to wait long before calling an election, which must be called by this fall. Other parties, such as the Greens and Progressive Democratic Alliance, have not announced local nomination meetings. suspects left, heading southbound on Sumas Way in a 1991 Chevrolet Blazer which had been stolen from New Westminster.

V4W 3R9 •Cr Phone (604) 856-8303 •& Fax (604) 856-5212 By NIGEL HANNAFORD The government is to be advised, we learn, to enhance the revenues of the CBC, die National Film Board and Telefilm Canada, by placing a new tax upon phone and cable usage. These institutions are seen as "key contributors to Canadian culture and bulwarks of national unity", by the authors of a report on them. The authors are led by Pierre Juneau, who by no coincidence is a former CBC president. The thought of any new tax is abhorrent. However, my calls would be brief indeed, if I thought that every time I picked up the phone I might be contributing to the welfare of the kind of people who made 'The Valour and the Horror', or 'The Kid Who Couldn't Miss'. You are not making a key contribution to Canadian culture by tearing down Canadian heroes. As for those dreary documentaries about women's basket-weaving co-operatives, not even the most ardent patriot would pay to watch them. Even the Russians don't make that kind of film any more. Nor does the thought of a resurgent CBC fill me with much enthusiasm. All television preaches something either by what it says or what it ignores and not much of it do I care for. Still, the idea of cultural mandarins in Ottawa with a mandate to promote Canadian culture and national unity is a recipe for a few fine moments and some dreadful half hours. We are talking about a propaganda ministry, pure and simple. Where are those censors when you need them? r. ajGMCto|5jj«w NOW, WHAT WAS TW ABOUT CUTTIN6 MPs' PENSIONS? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fighting drug abuse Editor, The Star, Sir, The following is an invitation to the community at large to participate in developing community actions plans for the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse in the Langley communities. The Langley Partners, are a community based coalition of groups and individuals including service clubs, local government, businesses, schools, police and health agencies. Our purpose is to act in a leadership role to prevent drug and alcohol abuse. The Partners are attempting to find practical solutions to this social issue, by coordinating existing services and Unking community resources. In November 1995 the Langley Partners conducted an extensive assessment to determine what the community perceived to be the top substance abuse issues in the Langleys. Surveys, key informant interviews and focus groups were the methods used to collect information. The three top issues that were identified as requiring prevention activities were: 1) drinking and driving; 2) underage drinking; 3) crime/family violence due to substance abuse. The event will be held Saturday, February 17 from 9 am to 1 pm at H.D. Stafford Secondary. For more information about the Langley Partners, or to preregister for the planning session, please contact our co-ordinator Michele Coleman at 856-8383. There is no charge for this event and lunch will be provided. Please get involved and "Rise to the Challenge" of prevention! TIM LOUNSBURY Founding Partner.

I find this loss of service hard to believe. In its 1995-1996 brochure, Hemlock prominently lists as the second item of services available "Wee Care Program". Hemlock is also running advertisements in the local media calling itself the "Family Mountain". Perhaps people with young children aren't families as far as Hemlock is concerned. To the best of my knowledge, all of the other "destination" type ski areas locally offer child care. By destination I mean mountains with accommodation where people are encouraged to stay overnight and would therefore, as a rule, be bringing their entire family, including young children. There are many young families, who frequent the local mountains, who want to give their children a taste of skiing but know that while their child may enjoy a Editor's note: Frequent Star contributor, Frances Evanoff passed away last month. Her family came across the following poem in the collection of this Jubilee pioneer, and as ever, Evanoff's prose is touching and revealing. We'll miss her. THE NEW WARRIOR What is this radical that now inhabits my aging body, No longer am I allowed to be a pacifist, Lite is to be fought for and won over dead bodies, I hope one won't be mine at least not yet. But where to look for the weapons for my defense? Optimism is encouraged by the people I talk to but I have always been one of those. This alien inside of me must have known that, It sneaked in unheard, unfelt and unseen and now the battle lines are drawn and I feel like David against Goliath. Maybe I shall find the right pebble to slay it. Or die in the trying, That end I am not quite ready for, But are we ever? . ByFRANCESEyANOFF couple of hours on the slopes, a full day is too much. The child care facility (which was on a fee for service basis) provided the perfect mix of time for the family to be together and time for the parents to either have some time alone or some time with their older children. The loss of what I, and anyone else on the mountain I have spoken to, consider to be an "essential service" is difficult to understand and seems to be short sighted on the part of mountain management ROGER GREENWOOD, Abbotsford. MORE ABOUT BROOKSWOOD v. WILLOUGHBY Wrong, wrong, wrong! Editor, The Star, Sir, The Langley Township Council meeting on Feb. 5, heard speakers for Willowbrook and Willoughby present their arguments on why they want development in their area. As a resident of Brookswood, I have no problem with development occurring in the north end of town, and support many of their issues. However, I do have a great deal of concern when "experts" present falsehoods as factual data to both the council and the general public. One speaker said the 32nd Avenue interchange at #99 Highway is not "on the books anywhere". Wrong. The City of Surrey has put the construction of this new interchange into their 1996 budget, and the provincial Highways Dept. has promised $950,000 towards this project, which will see construction start this fall with completion in 1997. An environmentalist stated "...the wells will not produce water if development happens" and "Council has been warned about the effects on the aquifer." Wrong. Perhaps if this speaker were to talk to the B.C. Groundwater Association, she will learn this: "The aquifer and wells will never, run dry so long as it keeps raining in Langley." This was a direct quote from this association. The main source of contamination to die aquifer is the already exist- ing 4,000-plus Brookswood homes on septic fields, plus hundreds of mobile homes in Fernridge. Hooking up to a sanitary sewer system will eliminate most of the pollutants within two years. This same speaker warned of 'hog^"'''.!*!!^^ along creeks' and'* rivers taking up half the land, thereby disappointing land holders in Brookswood/Fernridge. She said the Dept of Fisheries was not consulted. Wrong. If she bothered to read the Brookswood/Fernridge Official Community Plan, she would have seen the wide setbacks already in place, as per Dept. of Fishery guidelines. The landowners in Brookswood have no problem with this and, in fact, encourage it to protect the streams. A representative from the Nicomekl Enhancement Society spoke of the fish stock, and how Anderson Creek was the main source for new fish to the Nicomekl River. He stressed the importance of keeping Anderson Creek clean, and I agree completely. It is time to be responsible for the end results of what we do as a community. Anderson Creek runs right through the existing . subdivisions on 1/4 acre lots, all on septic fields, which drain down into it If these homes were put on a sanitary sewer system, the waters of Anderson Creek would clear up within a year or two, thereby allowing more fish to thrive, not less. Proper storm water management will ensure the water levels in creeks are not adversely affected. Two development companies had speakers present their cases for allowing them to develop in Willowbrook and Willoughby. Imagine my surprise when neither group offered to upfront the costs of installing the main trunk-lines for sanitary sewers and water! Instead they suggested the Township start buying school and park ' I ands ■ no w ,• in •preparation.fbt' development They failed to mention where the funds will be coming from. Our Finance and Budget Committee just released a report stating a policy of "user pays", which reduces the risk to taxpayers. As you know, in Brookswood two developers offered to upfront the Trunk Sewer and Water lines right down 200 Street to adequately service the Brookswood/- Fernridge Community Plan and continue south to Zero Avenue. This "gift" to Langley Township would enable, through the collected D.C.C. funds for sewers, all the existing homes and mobiles to hook up to the sewers, and help clean, up all creeks in the area, the well water and the aquifer. Who is going to pay for sewers and water if the developers in Willowbrook and Willoughby do not offer? Answer The taxpayers. In conclusion I want the public to know the old-time property owners of Brookswood and Fernridge do not want to slash and burn our environment, but instead want to enhance it with responsible development We want to see thjs Township grow in more than one location, offering choices to ' new home buyers. The good people of both Willowbrook/- Willoughby and Brookswood/Fernridge want to get on with then- lives, and see our elected officials live up to their promises. Both existing Community Plan areas have been promised development, and both should be allowed to grow. Responsible growth will not be a detriment to this community, but will result in a Township we can all be proud of.

Set for the June 7-9 weekend, this year's "old- fashioned days" will have a "gold rush" theme. Some inclement weather during last year's festival likely caused a $250 shortfall, but "retained earnings have provided a healthy buffer in the bank," said treasurer Carolynne Hamilton. Current assets exceed $8,500, and a large number of local businesses and organizations have already pledged their support of this year's events, budgeted at about $13,550 by the society. Ken Lakusta will organize the major slo-pitch tournament again this June, Aldergrove Kinsmen will again sponsor the popular fireworks display at Aldergrove Secondary, Fred Loucks will host the tractor pull at his farm again, and a number of other successful attractions will return once more. This year it's the Aldergrove Legion's turn to host the beer garden held in conjunction with the ball tourney, and the Saturday morning parade is already receiving applications from some of the hundred entrants who come every year. The gold rush theme was suggested by Jim Fuller, as it can be applied in a variety of ways by different organizations, and* Aldergrove is on the historic gold rush trail (Old Yale Road and the Fraser River) to Yale and Bark- erville. This theme, and the related costume and business decoration contest, will be developed over coining weeks by the society. Meetings are held in the Elk's Hall basement room on the first Monday of each month, 7 p.m. (next meeting March 6). New this year will be a Fire & Safety Fair, June 8 from noon to 4 p.m., organized by Langley Township Fire Department chief, Larry Kydd. There will be displays and activities provided by the township's seven lire halls, as well as Aberdeen's, and invitations to participate have been sent to RCMP, B.C. Ambulance, St. John's Ambulance, Search & Rescue, B.C. Forestry, Motor Vehicle Branch, ICBC, Children's Hospital and the Ronald MacDonald Safety Show. With a large turnout, there was no shortage of volunteers on the society board. President is Bob Long, vice-president is Walt Levy, secretary is Elaine Underhill and treasurer is Carolynne Hamilton. Directors are Kurt Langmann, Tami Quiring, Jacquie Wills, Jim Fuller, Ken Lakusta, Susan Trithardt, plus one yet to be nominated by the Legion. There's smoke at the hall LANGLEY - A restaurateur harangued coun. Mel Kositsky in the lobby before township council's Monday meeting, but council remains united in enacting the so- called "compromise" bylaw banning smoking in restaurants in the GVRD. The law will not extend to bars, clubs and gaming rooms, for now, and restaurateurs reacted by saying they have been made "sacrificial lambs" in the move toward a total indoor smoking ban. "You don't want smoking in restaurants?" Herb Feischl told Kositsky. "Then why don't you buy one? There's plenty of them for sale." Kositsky told council that 11 of 20 GVRD councils in the regional task force on the issue endorsed the recommended compromise last week and a draft bylaw will come before councils in the next two weeks. Then it's up to us to accept it, amend it if we want to, and return it" to the GVRD. Closed door meetings in provincial government don't sit well with public By MONIQUE GALAZKA VICTORIA - The Western Canada Wilderness Committee has received permission to hold a rally on the legislature lawn on Monday, February 19, which will make them the first to capture the attention of the new premier who will be chosen on Sunday. James Jamieson and Kerry Dawson, who have been camped out on the legislature lawn since January 22, are inviting park lovers to join their protest, calling for open house public meetings on proposed Lower Mainland parks. In 1995 the NDP established a Regional Public Advisory Committee to make recommendations to cabinet on the formation of new parks. The committee has not sought public input or held public meetings. WCWC founder Paul George said that the people of B.C. are shocked that the government has imposed a 13% upward limit on Lower Mainland parkland, and that meetings to carve out the new parks have been held behind closed doors barring public scrutiny. George called the Lower Main- land's endangered wilderness areas and the 13% upper limit on parks a death sentence to the Lower Mainland's grizzly bears, wolves, salmon and owls. The organization has vowed to fight for a 40% protected wilderness life-support system for all of B.C. The Liberal opposition has recently backed WCWC's campaign. In a report last week Liberal Environment Critic John van Dongen, accused the NDP of backroom politics in their attempt to push a Lower Mainland land use plan through cabinet before the leadership change. The WCWC also has the support of other environmental groups including Greenpeace. There is another form of support coming from the Lower Mainland Municipal Association, which has observer status on the RPAC. They are asking member municipalities and regional districts for support in pressuring the VICTIMS' RIGHTS RALLY Hear the following victims speak out: Debbie Mahaffy Chris Simmonds Dawn Bakeberg Corrine Schafer Betty Cyr Chuck Cadman 9 Paul Cameron Darleen Boyd • All crime is serious and we are all victims. • Send a message to Ottawa about the justice system. • It's time to demand change.

Mayor John Scholtens was the only political representative on the team, which paid all of the trip's expenses from their own pockets. The team was led by Langley College principal, Gene MacDonald, who in previous service to Langley School District has recruited some 250 foreign students along with $8-million for their education and boarding. He signed another half dozen students from Langley's sister city, Jing Hai, and is establishing a joint venture in China which B.C. teachers will visit next year. Lawyer Peter Minten observed that "north China is slated to be the next big growth area" and that Jing Hai will invest $100,000 annually in stationing two trade representatives in Langley. A liaison oflice has already been established at Langley Chamber of Commerce, and Minten expressed hope that ongoing talks would "cement our relationship." He also got chuckles when he said "things don't happen in China without the Communist Party" in thanking Scholtens for being a focal point for Chinese politicians and bureaucrats: "We had to bring political influence along with us." Wally Martin, who has a residential and commercial construction business, as well as housing package exports to Japan and Switzerland, said China's "many cold regions are an ideal market" for modern frame construction. He signed a letter of intent with Jing Hai, and plans a "mixed showcase of technology built by the Chinese" to be called Canada House. Gary Kenwood, owner of a silviculture nursery in Aldergrove, said he'd been frustrated by his business dealings with China some 20 years ago. "I was skeptical, the Chinese are hard to deal with, but the presence of our mayor opened doors." He signed a letter of intent with an industrial-, ist on a joint venture vegetable greenhouse. "Vegetables are not my expertise, but a Langley consortium will do the job, starting with a feasibility study on 80 acres they want to cover with glass," said Kenwood, adding diat, "In China there's no offset regulations." However, on their last night in China, Kenwood was delighted that a delegation from Handan City came to ask about not only a vegetable greenhouse but "also forestry... their foothills have been denuded. They want to order a container of tree seedlings if we can find a species appropriate to the area. That was extreme ly worthwhile Family physician Dr. Steve Shore, who teaches at UBC, said he was moved by a "fascinating tour of Tianjin hospital, a top teaching hospital." While he was impressed by such things as acupuncture practices, the "burn II unit scenes were shocking" and he TJ thanked the Langley delegates for pooling a $500 donation to the burn unit. He hopes to establish educational exchanges between hospitals and investigate how other help can be set up through organizations like the Red Cross. Realtor Dougal Shewan said Tyee Lumber signed on a joint venture to sell wood to China for remanufacturing of door sashes and the like. Shewan said difficul- ' ties of negotiating and executing contracts through interpreters are compounded by the 'lack of land tides offices to register security., the government role is very different there." However, he witnessed "a lot of joint ventures" in the region: "It's an excellent market, it just needs capital and technolo- gy" 4L-- **&& f Seed Starting Seminar Sunday, February 18th at 1:00 PM sharp J Our experts will show you how to start up many different varieties of garden seeds, so you can grow the kinds of plants you like easily and economically.

A delegation of Langley Parents' Advisory Committee presidents told township council that there's an ugly segment of local school students that are into serious intimidation and violence, and they feared cuts to RCMP school liaison oflice hours would have a negative effect on the effort to curb the relatively small number of yahoos who threaten safety in the schools. Sharon Crowley said "cutbacks since last year" to the three year old RCMP school liaison program means officers are "unable to fulfil duties. They have a better rapport if they have time to get to know the kids. Help is quicker, they can head off incidents." A recent altercation at Mountain Secondary saw three RCMP officers "turn away three carloads of kids" wielding clubs. The youths, who were not students at Mountain, were evidendy seeking vengeance against certain Mountain students. Coun. Muriel Arnason said she's heard that liaison officers are "burned out" and questioned Co-op offers scholarship ALDERGROVE - Otter Farm & Home Co-operative is offering three $500 open scholarships to grade twelve students whose parents/guardians have been active members of the co-op for more than one year and whose purchases during the previous year were in excess of $2,000.

Applications are available at the Otter Co-op general office at 3600-248 St. For more information, call 856.2517 local.224..„"s FORT LANGLEY - An attempt by Glover Road business people to have a small-scale sanitary sewer built for their use is considered a plot to redevelop the historic village. That's the fear of some residents who've consistently rejected proposals for sewer service there. However, several business people say they only want service to the commercial and institutional area, which they will pay for out of their own pockets. Their argument is that septic systems have created some problems in the town and have held back cost- effective improvements to their premises. Township councillors are trying^ to mediate a solution to the problem and are hosting an open house on the issue shortly. Coun. Heather McMullan told one concerned delegate this week that it will only proceed with a two-third majority in favour, and Muriel Arnason observed that the "15 inch line is very small and would ensure that not all the residential area will be encompassed." VANCOUVER - B.C. Home & Garden Show opens Feb. 17 at BC Place Stadium and runs daily until Feb. 25.

Five breathtaking feature gardens will host speakers such as Canadian Gardener David Tarrant. There are 450 exhibitors present. bi whether use of trained auxiliary officers wouldn't have the same effect at lower cost. Mayor John Scholtens said RCMP staffing has gone up 43 percent in three years, from 55 to 79 officers, and "crime is going down." He said the present policy of integrating school liaison officers with community policing stations was more effective because it meant that "the same officer would see the kids after school at the corner stores and so on." Coun. Steve Ferguson said it used to he that students settled differences with fists, but now are using more deadly weapons. However, the answer "is not just more officers, everyone has to work together." This should include school administrators, who generally do a better job of maintaining school discipline than they often get credit for. When this writer went to Aldergrove Secondary in the late '60s, administrators moved swiftly and forcefully, with RCMP help, when blasting caps were found in a locker. When my son went there 20 years later, administrators brought in an RCMP undercover officer who busted a kid who bragged he had a smuggled handgun for sale. In both these unusual cases the students involved were not the big heavies their legend made them out to be, and have long since mended their ways and are now respected, contributing members of society. The school administrators are ultimately responsible for student safety, and generally have a large supportive student body which willingly informs on miscreants. Most of the petty thuggery that goes on at any school can be more than adequately handled by administrators, who are not afraid of calling in RCMP "enforcers" when wind of more serious situations arises. That's the administrators' job, and while part-time RCMP liaison officers are worthy of support, it's ridiculous to waste all officer's time patrolling halls "ea modernday school-monitor.. _.- — : — "~ OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

I want my money to be safe and guaranteed" said the gentleman, convinced his assets needed protection. "And, of course, I want a better rate of return than I am getting in my current GIC," he continued. The gentleman explained that several years ago he had a long- term, low-yielding GIC. When this matured during a period of very low interest rates, he was told to put it into yet another low- yielding GIC. Wanting his money to always be safe above all else, he put that money into the GIC. Now years later he has yet again found himself with a matured GIC during a period of very low interest rates. What should he do? And, how could he avoid this dilemma again? I started by asking this man if he wouldn't mind getting "stripped on a ladder", though lie looked at me as if I was a litde crazy! The situation this man has found himself in is not unlike a great many investors who prefer safety, but still want to maximize returns. Many wait for the forces for competition between the banks and other institutions to raise the prevailing GIC rate a quarter, or half a percentage point, especially during RRSP season. However, there are many creative ways to increase your returns while maximizing safety. For instance the investment of Government guaranteed stripped bonds is an excellent way to achieve safety and higher yields. Stripped bonds are sellable at any time, a factor that will allow the bonds' value to grow. Stripped bonds are the coupon (or interest bearing) portion of a bond that can be bought and sold and retains its interest yield. More than any other guaranteed vehicle, stripped bonds can also be nicely worked into a dynamic personal financial port folio through the process of 'laddering" your bond portfolio. This means buying bonds whose maturity dates are staggered. For example, buying a variety of bonds, each which mature during different consecutive or alternating years, will provide you with a variety of different interest rates. This will increase your returns. And, since only a portion of your money matures during a given year, your portfolio can withstand a year, like 1996, in which interest rates are very low. Instead of being vulnerable each time your one large bond matures, you can minimize your exposure to low interest rates at reinvestment In the long-term your safety is guaranteed and your yields are maximized. In this scenario, your "eggs" are not in "one basket". Investors achieve a potentially higher rate of return over time, by consistently "rolling" invested funds out to longer-dated, potentially higher yielding bond's. Also, you have more control over your portfolio, since each year money is liquid for your use. This is helpful should you want to invest in another investment or use the money for something else. "Laddering" your bonds with the help of a professional Financial Advisor replaces Uie need for "Bond Funds". These funds do not guarantee safety, since the assets in the fund fluctuate like a regular mutual fund. This affects your rate of return even though you think you are in the safest type of fund. So if safety is your main objective, don't setde for the obvious! Get "stripped" and take the "ladder" of success. Julie Edwards is a Financial Advisor with Midland Walwyn Capital in Abbotsford.

Statistics Canada reports that the number of Canadians contributing to RRSPs is growing - up by four per cent in 1994 from 1993, wi(h 5.3-million people, or nearly one in three taxpayers, investing at least part of their contribution limit. While women made up half of all taxfilers, only 43% made RRSP contributions. Three out of four contributors were under 43, with median income of $34,200. About one- third of contributors used up their limit Ms. Penner declares that RRSPs are the most effective means of taking responsibility for one's retirement needs. "We all realize the government will be able to do litde for us when we are ready to retire," she says. "By contributing to an RRSP on a regular basis, even small amounts will provide baby boomers and others with a welcome cushion when they're ready to retire." . RRSPs are offered by all types of financial institutions. They provide for investments to be made in different types of mutual funds or such vehicles as guaranteed investment certificates or term deposits. If a taxpayer wishes, a self-directed plan can be set up in which the individual selects stocks, bonds or other types of investments. ."We recommend seeking financial planning advice before making a commitment," Ms. Penner says. "A financial planner can analyze a person's financial situation and Uieir life needs, to come up with the best combination of investments. What may be suitable for one person may fail to meet the investment needs of another."

More good news from Otter ALDERGROVE - Community Secondary School's Music Department was a powerhouse at the Surrey Jazz Festival last weekend. Aldergrove Secondary sent 40 students (in a total of six performing groups) to vie for awards against 35 other schools at the largest regional festival in Canada. Under the directorship of Mr. Summers and Miss Penner, Aldergrove's hard-working musicians earned more awards than any other school: • Most Outstanding Junior Vocalist - Tanya Halliday. • Most Outstanding Junior Jazz Choir - Aldergrove Secondary. • Most Outstanding Saxophonist - Tyler Summers. • Most Outstanding Senior Soloist - Tyler Summers. • Most Outstanding Pianist - Jane Dean. • Most Outstanding Junior Combo - Jane Dean and Tyler Summers. "Both Tyler and Jane, as grade 10 students, won awards while competing against senior students. Also, both Aldergrove Jazz bands were selected as finalists out of 60 bands to perform in the evening Showcase Concerts. This is a milestone for Aldergrove's Music Department and a credit to our talented and determined music students," said Penner. "There are more highlights to come for two Aldergrove music students. Christy Ashton and Tiffany Martin have been selected to perform with die province-wide Honor Jazz Choir. The Honor Concert-is the highlight of the annual B.C. Music Educators' Conference. On Friday night, February 16, Christy and Tiffany will perform for over 1,000 delegates and parents at the elegant Orpheum Theatre.

Forum to shed light on social tragedy ABBOTSFORD - Anorexia and bulimia are on the rise in the Fraser Valley. About 15% of people afflicted with these eating disorders die, and most of them are adolescent girls. Eating disorders stem from a variety of factors, according to Marion Falding, a mental health therapist and counsellor. "There are personal, familial, and societal considerations which contribute to the problem, and all of these factors must be part of the solution," said Falding. Falding will be the keynote speaker at a citizens forum on eating disorders on Thursday, February 22, at 7 pm, at the University College of the Fraser Valley's Abbotsford campus. The forum is free to the public and is co-sponsored by UCFV, Abbotsford and Chilliwack Mental Healdi, and the Abbotsford Youth Commission. The forum will consist of a panel of speakers and an open discussion. Panel members will include a doctor, a former sufferer, the parent of a sufferer, an adult therapist, an adolescent therapist, and a nutritionist. "As a society and community it is imperative that we become aware of eating disorders, learn how to recognize diem, and learn what we can do to help," says Falding. "I'm hoping this-forum will reach people who are in the early stages of the illness where it's easier to deal with. The longer it goes on, the harder it is to mm it around." Falding also wants to educate the public in general and particularly people who work with teens, such as teachers, counsellors, and youth leaders. "I want people to understand the mind of a sufferer. Most "people find the illness quite bizarre and really have no idea of what to do or how to help."

FEBRUARY 14,1996 Heritage grows daily By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - Heritage Week is being celebrated here and across B.C., Feb. 19-25, and Alder Grove Heritage Society is hosting ia number of events at the I lart/BC Tel building to mark the occasion. President June Willson said that because the Girl Guides are celebrating their 85th anniversary in B.C., they have been invited to display memorabilia at the heritage house all week long. Sparks, Brownies and Guides will also be on hand on the Feb. 24-25 weekend, 1 to 4 p.m., to meet the public and show their crafts and other handiwork. There is no charge and everyone is welcome to stop by, said Willson. Part of her thinking is motivated by the need "for new, younger blood in the heritage society; we need to get kids and grandkids involved." Many AGHS members are elderly and the flu bug has hit several of them hard recendy, and some of them were physically "taxed to the max" by the immense job of moving and restoring the heritage building they occupy. There are a number of projects the society hopes will foster an ongoing sense of community. The variety of jobs range from the mundane to ambitious. To start with, there's the immense collection of phone equipment wliich is now being catalogued — most of it is in storage until members decide how best to display them. "We need cabinets made for displays. The dollars are there for it, but we need to custom design and build them," said Willson. The front room will be dedicated to that aspect, but at present everything is simply stacked as neatly as possible and is far from the ideal situation. The parlour behind it will be set aside for Aldergrove photos and memorabilia, and that process could use some decorating help, "die rest is workspace, filings of clippings, archives," said Willson. While the Aldergrove bingo situation is currendy in the hands of lawyers, there is also ongoing fundraising through raffles and casinos that could use able hands. The big project is the sequel to the history book, The Place Between, which wrapped up local records till about 1939. "Well be starting research for the second volume in April, deciding whether to make it one or two decades after the first book, and that's going to be a huge job. But for genealogy, the Cloverdale library is the best-stocked source, second only to Toronto. They have records from churches, books, just amazing what they have, and it's so nearby. Well also search census, B.C. directories," said Will- son. Two part-timers are working hard on cataloging the plethora of phone equipment, mostly donated by Fred Mutch of Langley, Gordon Brown of New Westminster and John Williams of Nanaimo. Willson said BC Tel donated $3,000 toward the moving of the building a few years ago, but now that it will be one of only three phone museums in B.C. (the others are in Cumberland and Midway, and BC Tel closed its own museums), Willson is looking at approaching BC Tel for another grant.

Brookswood jockeys for township consideration BROOKSWOOD - The longstanding debate about the old Border Sand and Gravel pit on the U.S. border continues after council tried to take another kick at the can this week. Coun. Muriel Arnason and Steve Ferguson tried to have Vicwood Enterprises Inc.'s development application move forward to public hearing but the rest of council declined the opportunity to hear what neighbours think of the plans. It will help the area get sewer and water" and stop ongoing nitrate pollution of the aquifer there caused by septic systems, argued Arnason. "It's sat on the books an awful long time," agreed Ferguson. "I can support it going to public hearing so we can listen to the people." Councillors were mute, except for Heather McMullan, who said she's "unwilling to consider it until we make the Growth and Planning decision." The latter, concerning whether Brookswood/Fernridge or Willow brook/Willoughby will to the next urban growth area of the township, is another decision that council has been reluctant to make, although councillors did not postpone it again at Monday's meeting. At last week's meeting, the decision date was delayed until March 3. McMullan also argued that Vicwood's amendment called for reduction of donated parkland from 16.2 acres down to 2.5 acres. Arnason countered that the development would abutt the large Campbell Valley regional park, and uie proponents have proposed a cash donation to buy parkland of the same size elsewhere in Brookswood where parkland is needed. Councillors also heard from Ian White, an engineer with Environment West, who disputed conclusions drawn in the Growth and Planning Commission's recent report. "It does not take into account technology which mitigates impact on water and fish," said White, who observed that provision of sewers in Brookswood would end the "nitrate loading" of septic systems into the large aquifer below. White said that contaminants would quickly enter the Brookswood aquifer because of the porous gravel, but said he couldn't see why this was worse than contaminants running into Willough- by-area streams because the geography there was not porous. "Fish habitat in both areas are highly sensitive — the Nicomekl River is not even included in the report — and there's a dozen fish species in each area. ESA studies do not lead to conclusions favouring either area on environmental grounds." White said studies have looked into metals and pesticides, but "nitrates are the number one problem, and the problem is continuous loading from septic systems." While only isolated cases have exceeded safe water standards in Brookswood, White said the aquifer would soon remediate itselfrif 'thVioading stoppedvu pf§. THE ALDERGROVE STAR: FEBRUARY 14.1996 13 Beautiful bridal showers The months before the wedding are always fun. Besides the excitement of being newly engaged and the planning and shopping, your friends and relatives will want to celebrate by honoring you with dinners and parties. Bridal showers are an important part of this tradition. Here are some tips for a successful shower from Beverly Clark, author of Planning A Wedding To Remember. Showers are a time for your friends and family to meet and get to know one another before the wedding. The purpose of showers has always been to help outfit the couple's new home, or assemble the bride's trousseau. As tradition has it, a close friend, maid of honor, relative or bridesmaid may give you a shower. It is not proper for the shower to be hosted by your or your groom's mother or immediate family, although they may help. Showers are usually given a month or two before the wedding. In order not to become a financial burden, it is better if two or three people host one together, rather than have several different showers. In the event you are given more than one, try not to invite the same people to every shower. Weddings can become expensive, especially for your bridal party, so don't take the joy out of it by sending them to the poor house. Planning The Shower Generally, the hostess and the bride get together to determine a date, a guest list and the kind of shower it will be. Sometimes the hostess may surprise the bride and get the information from the fiance". The traditional all-female shower is usually an afternoon luncheon or tea, with between ten and twenty guests. Invitations are usually sent, but they are not mandatory. Not everyone who is invited to the wedding need be invited to the shower. Guests are usually close friends or relatives, or perhaps you may have one shower with each group. Avoid any hurt feelings by only inviting people to the shower who are invited to the reception, unless the wedding is taking place out of town, or only for close family members. A fun idea might be to have all the married women bring their wedding albums. It's fun to look back at your mother's, grandmother's or a close friend's wedding. Popular today, especially with older couples, are co-ed showers, which generally turn out to be just another party, but with gifts and, possibly, games. The men have a great time. When most of your friends are married, it is nice to plan the party for a weekend evening.- _ All that glitters... . As more jewelry designers turn their attention to wedding lines, brides will have more choices when choosing their wedding-day gems. How to accessorize this season's dresses? Keep it simple. For maximum effect, opt for one important piece of jewelry—a great necklace or pair of earrings. Options: • Long necklaces—pearl or gold chains that fall below the waist with heart, flower or cross pendants. • Antique brooches with cameos, pinned to gowns. • Chokers—satin and velvet ribbons accented with sentimental pins, lockets, hearts or wonderful cameos. • Pearls—in all shapes, sizes and colors. Look for small sea pearls, large mob6 pearls and freshwater pearls in the palest hues. Choose the classic single strand or the new 6- to 8-strand chokers. • Understated earrings—delicate heirloom styles with semiprecious stones that hang just below the earlobe. TRUE CONFESSIONS: Photo by Clearbrook Photographic Arts Inc. Engaged couples reveal startling views on love, sex and marriage When Julia Roberts canceled her wedding to Keifer Sutherland, the news made national headlines. But according to a recent survey in BRIDE'S Magazine, her behavior was hardly unusual. Some 24% of the brides-to-be surveyed had broken an engagement, as had 14% of the grooms. Today's older brides and grooms bring a wealth of past experiences to marriage—she is now an average of 24 years old when she weds, and he is 26. To find out how couples feel about love, sex, fidelity, pregnancy and commitment, BRIDE'S Magazine surveyed its national readership. The February/March 1992 issue revealed the complete results. Here is a sampling of their attires about the life they're leaving behind—and the new one that lies ahead: Skeletons From The Closet In spite of the threat of AIDS and other STDs, some grooms report increased pre-marital sexual activity. Twelve percent of the grooms have had 20 or more sexual partners, compared to 10% in 1987. Some other skeletons from the couples' closets: • 19% have dated a married person. • 27% of brides-to-be have had an abortion. 85% would consider having an abortion under specified . circumstances. • 40% of the men and women lost their virginity before they were 17. • Marrying men have had an average of seven sexual partners, while the women have had an average of six. • 5.5% of the brides are virgins, as are 3.7% of the grooms. • 10% of the couples wish their partner was a virgin. Meeting MriMs. Right "How did you two meet?" is a question engaged couples hear frequently. The BRIDE'S survey reveals that 35% of newly weds-to-be met their partners through friends or family, 43% met at school or work, and only 2% met through dating services or advertisements. Other tales from couples' courtships: • Respondents spent an average of 3.5 years getting to know each other before tying the knot • Whirlwind romances still do occur 24.3% of the marrying couples have known each other for one year or less. • 42% of the engaged couples are living together—up dramatically from 1987 when only 26% of the responding couples shared a home before marriage. • 94% have "very passionate" feelings about their future spouses. 'Til Death Do Us Part Does marriage make people more traditional? According to the BRIDE'S survey, the answer is yes—and no. While both men and women take a contemporary, dynamic view towards their careers and public lives, their oudook towards the private life they will create at home is more conservative: • 94% believe that it is realistic to expect perfect fidelity from their spouses. • 8% have already been unfaithful to their fiances. • 82% of the brides-to-be are employed outside the home, and most plan to continue their work after marriage. • 12% of the women plan to keep their own names. - _W% Sf*r.i?;,-_?J1J,J,i*i,j'j!j'i,^"i-4*4 *'«*•* A*«.%"-»*i.*'*"w"-j."i.;' ■ .- n 72% of the couples believe that a woman can combine a career with marriage and family, although most feel that a mother with small children shouldn't work unless she has to. Approximately 75% of the women expect to be responsible for cleaning, grocery shopping, cooking and child care. Meanwhile, their husbands are looking out for home repairs, yardwork and major purchases. 83% of the women and 90% of the men feel that this division of labor is fair. 73% expect money to be a source of conflict in their first year of marriage, followed by career demands, for 51%. The classic squabble over in-laws is anticipated by only 25% of the engaged couples. Proof that the 1980s are over: Today's couples' biggest concerns are the environment, the economy and crime. In 1987, their biggest concerns were struggling and not getting ahead, followed by health and fitness. \ '.'.'.■'-'I'^.v.'.'i'i'.'.'.Vi'A • ■■ - ■ ■'' -'•'■■ *.-" ■ ....... .-■■ ....../.. ■ . - . . 1-^— ,, ,. „ .... , - ,,,... 14 THE ALDERGROVE STAR. FEBRUARY 14,1996 Personalizing your ceremony By Beverly Clark Today, more and more couples are composing their own, or a portion of their own, ceremony. There are a number of ways you and your fiance1 can add that personal, creative touch to your wedding. • Write your own vows or change some of the words of traditional vows. • Write a special poem or prayer for your partner. Recite it during your ceremony. Many couples ask close relatives or friends to read poems, scriptures or to recite blessings at the ceremony. This is a nice way to make them feel included in your service. • Have a favorite piece of music played or sung... something that Is especially meaningful to both of you. Walk down die aisle to the music your mother walked to, and make it a surprise. • Surprise your fiance1 by singing an especially meaningful song, expressing your feelings. Have the words printed and distributed to your guests so they can join you. • Print a program for your guests, including the names of your attendants. A brief summary of how you met or a message of appreciation to your guests from the two of you would add a special touch. * Incorporate symbolism in some way by carrying a family Bible, handkerchief or fan that was carried by your or the groom's mother. * Honor both of your heritages by incorporating some of your cultural ancestry and tradition into the ceremony. Adapting them to your celebration will add that special touch for family and friends, as well. * Surprise the mothers: as you walk down the aisle, pause to present a flower from your bouquet to your mother and another to his mother. • For interfaith marriages, many couples decide to bring a combination of both religions to the celebration. • If a parent is deceased, symbolically include them by lighting a candle during the ceremony, carrying their favorite flower or leaving a bouquet on an empty first-row seat • As an alternative to being "given away," the Acceptance Ceremony provides that the bride's family "accept" the groom, and vice versa. Designated family members are asked, in advance, to express words of acceptance. Others may choose to join in after the originally chosen members have spoken. • Sharing a cup of wine or other beverage is symbolic of sharing life. • In an outside ceremony, after you've exchanged your vows and kissed, release helium balloons or white doves, adding a romantic touch. With an inside ceremony, do this as you exit. Nationally celebrated wedding expert and consultant Beverly Clark is a distinguished authority on weddings, showers and bridal etiquette.

After all, how hard is it to pack a suitcase and reserve a hotel room? "Planning the ideal trip doesn't have to be difficult, but savvy couples do start thinking about their honeymoon before the invitation goes out," explains Sally Kilbridge, travel editor of BRIDE'S & Your New Home. "The last thing you need just before a wedding is to learn that your dream resort is booked solid, or that your passport has expired." BRIDE'S provides honeymoon help widi an easy-to-follow countdown calendar packed with advice in the February/March 1994 issue. Part of the magazine's annual 100-page "Honeymoon Guide" covering destinations worldwide, the countdown offers essential planning tips from a year early to the day of the departure. The highlights: 9 Months: Work up a wish list together. Read articles and guidebooks about your dream destinations; write or call tourist offices for brochures of places you're interested in. 6 Months: Ask friends to recommend a good travel agent. If you don't have a major bank credit card, apply for one—it's often a necessity to reserve a car or hotel room. 4 Months: Make sure your passport is valid if you're going to a foreign country. You cannot change the name on your passport until after the wedding, so make reservations in your maiden name or bring along a copy of the marriage license. 3 Months: Start paperwork now if using frequent flier miles toward honeymoon tickets. 2 Months: Review your wardrobes and luggage situation for the honeymoon. Have an old camera checked out or buy a new one (take a practice roll and have it developed.) 1 Month: Refill prescriptions, keeping in original containers for customs' perusal. 2 Weeks: You should have airline tickets, seat assignments, hotel and car- rental confirmations (if not, make some phone calls). Arrange transportation to the airport. 1 Week: Purchase traveler's checks—and enough foreign currency 4o pay for taxis, tips and that first cappuccino! 1 Day: Finish last-minute packing. Leave copies Of your itinerary, documents (passports, visas) and traveler's checks with family. Confirm your flight ... bon voyage! Perfect hair for your wedding day Everyone has a "bad hair day" sometimes, but how can you prevent your wedding day from being one of them? "Hair requires special attention when you're getting married," explains Denise O'Donoghue, Beauty Editor of BRIDE'S & Your New Home. "A wedding is a formal occasion that requires you to coordinate your hairstyle with the headpiece you've selected. It's important to experiment Veil in advance of the big day; the style you choose will be recorded in photographs that will be passed through generations to come." The key to looking great: Selecting a soft, natural style that complements the shape of your face, the headpiece and the gown's neckline. O'Donoghue's advice? "Be adventurous! There is an element of fantasy in every wedding. Try a loose braid or wear your hair up if you usually leave it down. You may be surprised how much you like a new style." One of the loveliest wedding- day looks for fall/winter: hair swept off the face and worn high atop the head, a romantic balance for medieval-inspired gowns with floaty fabrics and empire waists. The October/November issue of BRIDE'S offers 40 tips for getting hair prepared for the big day. Here's a "must-do" countdown: Four Months Before the Wedding: • Go for a consultation if you haven't already; it's usually free with a haircut or styling. Bring your veil and headpiece, or a photo of an idea you like. • Deep condition hair once a week to get it in top form. • Explore wedding-day options. If hair is pinned up during the ceremony, can you let it down for the reception? Have the stylist show you how to redo it yourself. Four Weeks Before: • Go for your final trim before the wedding. Two Weeks Before: • Have a "tress rehearsal." Bring your headpiece and have your stylist fix your-hair as he/she or you will for the big day. This way, you can sec how you like the style, if it's comfortable, how well.it holds (i.e., if more bobby pins are required). Allow ample time for this session if the style you have chosen is complicated. The Wedding Week: • If you plan to highlight your hair, have it done now; the fresher the color, the better the hair looks. • Pack a hat, if your honeymoon will be in a sunny place, to protect tresses. (When you're caught without, keep hair wet—water acts as a natural barrier between sun and hair.) - For those brides who feel their hair is hopelessly "out of shape," take heart. Damage is hardly irreversible—color can be corrected, hair can be conditioned, ultra-brittle ends can be trimmed. With some planning, every bride can feel confident, comfortable and beautiful on her wedding day. m edding Portraits by Design '.jftsse Nationally Accredited Photographers ANDREW W.R.

According to the August/September issue of BRIDE'S Magazine, a little preparation goes a long way towards ensuring that wedding-day mishaps don't get out of hand. If you organize an "emergency kit," and keep it stashed nearby at the ceremony and the reception, coping with certain last-minute dilemmas will be a breeze. BRIDE'S suggests you start with a pretty basket, decorated to match your wedding theme, then include the following: • Needle, thread, buttons and safety pins. • Extra stockings for you and your wedding party. • Spot remover. • Nail polish—color to match your fingernails, and clear to keep stocking runs from spreading. • Extra lipstick, powder, blusher, eyeshadow, fragrance. • Comb, brush, and hairspray or gel. • Extra pairs of glasses or contact lenses. • Tissues and cotton balls. • Aspirin, adhesive bandages, allergy pills and any prescription medicines you or your groom might need. • Personal care items. • Pen and note paper. • Extra copies of all passages that are being read during the ceremony. • Telephone numbers for your caterer, clergy member, organist, photographer, florist, band leader, -car service and each member of the wedding party. Keep in mind the most important ingredients of all: patience and a sense of humor. They'll turn any mishap "mountains" back into molehills. 'Reflections Of lOVe'.

The Lung Association's campaign, which had a goal of $1.6-million, began in mid-October, delivering brightly-coloured Christmas Seals to almost every home in B.C. "We are grateful for the generosity of Mid-Fraser Valley-area residents and everyone else who donated to help fight lung disease Variety's tote tells happy tale VANCOUVER - It began with a dream in 1926, when die Variety Club first came into being in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1996 the dream continues, and some dreams are coming true as British Columbians pledged with their hearts to raise anodier record total at the 30th annual "Show of Hearts" Telethon, $5,411,931. There were touching moments throughout the entire 22-hour entertainment spectacular. Emily is a 2 1/2 year old child who has cerebral palsy, yet her twin Melissa does not. Emily will likely never be able to walk around easily, let alone run around as her sister Melissa will. But Emily has dreams...Debbie White, Emily's mother, accompanied by Shari Ulrich, Jane Mortifee, and Betty McDaniel sang "Emily's Song" for her, a very emotional piece written by Debbie and her friend Jennifer Meyer. Robbie Everett is another child who has cerebral palsy. Robbie, a Powell River youngster, who has difficulty communicating with his classmates, will see his dream come true. His classmates started a penny drive to help raise money for a special "Eyegaze" computer - activated by his vision - that will utilize a speech synthesizer to help him speak. The whole town got behind the fund raising campaign and raised $20,000 - but the computer costs $40,000. Rob Carriere and Robb Dunfield, who collaborated on a CD featuring the music of Carriere and the artwork of Dunfield, donated $6,000 for the cause through Padaca Records. In addition, these two young men personally donated $4,000 from future sales of their next CD, to bring the total to $30,000. Variety Club president Bob Stewart then stepped in to add the final $10,000 from Variety Gub. Robbie will get his Eye- gaze computer. Longtime fans were delighted to see Bob McGrath presented with a plaque and an honorary lifetime membership in Variety Club. Throughout the show, Bob was also reunited with many of the special needs children that he has worked with over his 25-year involvement with the Variety Club of B.C. All those who pledged during the Telethon are reminded to send in their donation to the Variety - Club Telethon, Box 7400, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 4E2.

We may be a little short of our provincial goal, but we recognize these are difficult times," said Gervan. "Overall, campaign dollars have increased two percent over 1994, allowing the Lung Association to carry on its important work." A voluntary health agency with nearly 130,000 supporters province-wide, the B.C. Lung Association funds medical research, information programs on air quality and health education stressing patient independence. A major focus for the association is the B.C. Asthma Centre, which provides information and coordinates research to help more than 100,000 adults and children in the province who have asthma.

The worship service materials for 1996 have been prepared by the women of Haiti. Despite the return of President Arisdde to office, Haid is still a country beleaguered by civil strife, poverty and challenges to its fragile democracy. The global movement now known as World Day of Prayer was begun by women over 100 years ago. Through World Day of Prayer, Christians affirm their faith in Jesus Christ, share their hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, and are enriched by the prayers and faith experience of Christians of other countries and cultures. By participating in this year's World Day of* Prayer service, you are joining in common worship with Christian women and men in over 170 countries around the globe, and some 2,000 communities in Canada. The Aldergrove United Church is hosting this year's World Day of Prayer 1 pm, Friday, March 1. Refreshments will be served following the service. All are welcome.

The play is about Daniel Frame, who has been in a veteran's hospital for the past eleven months, suffering from a nervous breakdown brought on by his belief that his dislike for his son- in-law has helped break up his daughter's marriage. Darnel had been taken to hospital after throwing his life's savings off the roof of City Hall. At his homecoming, Daniel is reunited with family friend and retired lawyer John Barnett, and Willie Perkins, who was released from the hospital at the same time. A drunken party follows, with Daniel, John, and Willie recalling their days in service. Daniel is upset when he confronts his daughter, Lisa, and leaves home for die night with Willie, the two of them intoxicated. Next day, Daniel and Willie are brought home and the family is reconciled. Lisa arrives with a new camper for her parents to take a cross country trip and reveals she is going to join her husband out of town. Willie and John are left to look after the Frame's house. Production dates are March 15- 17, 22-24, 29-30, 8 pm plus a matinee, March 30, 1:30 pm, at Langley United Church, 5673-200 Street. For reservations call 534- 1795.

High lonelome sound here m ALDERGROVE - Bluegrass continues its Sunday evening tradition at the local Legion hall's banquet room under a new name: Valley Bluegrass Music Society. Their schedule of open stages, workshops and more is open to anyone with a love for that high, keening sound of the Appalachians. To kick off their new image and season, they invite all to a special concert this Sunday, Feb. 18, featuring Big Bill Johnson, a local quartet without any Bills or Johnsons. Led by VBMS president, Rob Baker on the high harmonies, they include his wife, Gaydene, along with Tim and Bob. After their benefit performance (tickets are $4-$6 at the door), there's an open stage for all who bring their voices, mandolins, guitars, basses, banjos, fiddles, dobros, dulcimers or whatever. Baker said their new schedule attempts "a structured weekly format that will please most everyone." From here on in, the first Sunday of the month is Slo Pitch, "where you can learn new songs, bring your own tunes, beginning pickers welcome, open jam to follow." The second Sunday is set aside for workshops for instruments, vocals, bands: "informative learning and participating sessions, followed by open jam." Third Sundays are open stage and mini-concert: "A local blue- grass band provides the music; you're invited to participate in the open stage. This type of format is an excellent opportunity to hone your performing skills in front of a supportive audience." Fourth and fifth Sundays of the month are "bluegrass jamming: all levels of players are invited to partipipa|e;-!VSlp/Pitph.:auid-.wjprk-' shops are from 7 to 8:30 p.m. with open jamming to follow till about 11 p.m. As readers might have gathered, this is a very user friendly, hands on kind of Sunday night diversion. As member, Barb Kirby said, "If you're a beginner, new to bluegrass or just want some new ideas for old songs, come on out and give Slo Pitch a try. Be sure to bring a song with you, as everyone will get a chance to play their song with the other participants joining in. Well look at basic rhythm patterns and easy improvising, and even try to match up some harmonies. For those too-quick fiddle tunes, we will be slowing them down to your speed." One of the directors, Brent Clinton said they now have about 35 members, "but more are welcome. I call it the musical version of Toastmasters Club." Membership is a mere $12 a year: call Brent Clinton at 856-3805 or Grant Lamothe at 856-7381. Many members will leave these parts to take in Tacoma's Wintergrass on Feb. 22-25, but upcoming shows include: March 3 Slo Pitch with Barb Kirby; March 4 concert with David Grier at Vancouver's Glass Slipper; March 10 rhythm guitar workshop with Bob Martin; March 17 concert with Sons of Bluegrass (formerly Bluegrass Princesses); March 18 Women in Bluegrass concert featuring local women at Glass Slipper; April 21 concert with Alouette River Band (all of above at Aldergrove unless otherwise noted). President Baker said their aim is to please: "If you need something more, let us know and well try our darndest to provide it for you." Baker can be reached at 820=9306-.- THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES country Feb. 5th with a home game against the Surrey Eagles. This Surrey club was the same one that rolled into town on Jan. 15th and handed the Bruins their first scoreless game of the year, defeating them 4-0. However, the Bruins could also remember back to the X-mas tournament in Langley, where it took 4 1/2 minutes of overtime before they beat Surrey 2-1. This one could go either way and the winner of this single game knock out was out of the playoff round and down to the consolation series. Michael Kittirath opened the scoring at 13:04, converting a pass from Richard Pearce, and the locals were up by one. Within 2 1/2 minutes Surrey had tied it, but a feed to Pearce by Kris Armstrong put them ahead again. A late first period goal by Surrey ended the period deadlocked at 2- 2. The Bruins popped two more in the second from Pearce and Greg Neufeld and they took a 4-2 lead into the third. This last frame had the Bruins forechecking well, skating hard and winning all the races to the loose pucks. With 1:00 minute left in the game, and the Bruins now up 7-2 on 2 goals by Jason Garrison and another by Todd Hagen, the "Cardiac Kids" laid low and allowed Surrey to pop 2 late ones, but too little too late for this game, and Aldergrove went on to knock Surrey down to the consolation round. The Bruins next hurdle saw them go into a best out of three (4 point series) with the cross town rivals from Langley. These two teams have battled all year in close one goal games and a few tied games as well. This series will probably be 'last goal wins" kind of hockey, as neither of these clubs are afraid to open it up and play end to end games. After playing the first two minutes of the game in the Aldergrove end, Jason Garrison picked up a loose puck and beat the Langley Keeper to put the Bruins up by one. The Eagles answered with one, and the first period ended at a 1-1 tie. The second period had some great end to end action. Richard Pearce scored a short- handed goal, showing good hard work pays off, when he out-muscled and out-tussled three Langley players to slide the puck in the short side. The last period was the best of all three, when both teams played all out. Kris Armstrong put a backhand shot in the top corner off a feed from Jeff Toth to tie the game at 4-4. The Eagles scored a short time later and then added an empty net goal to go up 6-4 and win the first game. This was a great display of hockey from both teams, and the next: two games should be just as good. The third period had more great Isaac Mangone goaltending and strong defense. Poco scored a quick goal to pull within one at 2- 1. Then the Bruins got a big goal from Ryan Bell to pull ahead 3-1. The Bruins then sealed the victory, with a shorthanded goal with Jake Morris scoring with an assist to Ryan Martin on a great play, to make the final score the Hewitt & Co A2 Bruins 4 - Poco Pirates 2. The whole team played super goalie Isaac Mangone was great, the defense with Cody Hopkins and Riley Hogan, Jacob Harder with Danny Kivinen, and Tyson DeGianni with Micheal Maggio played strong games. Other forwards who worked endlessly include Nick Goy, Marsh Cooper, Bryan Jones who just missed scoring a couple of goals, and Stephen Howerton. - The victory enables the Bruins to move onto the semi-final round against the Surrey A4 team. The first game of the four point series will be played Feb. 18, at 4 pm in Surrey, game two of the series is at Aldergrove Arena on Tuesday, February 20, at 6:45 pm- B.C'S DISCOUNT AUTO CENTRE 200 NEW UNCOLNS, MERCURY'S, FORD CARS & TRUCKS 200 USED VEHICLES - ALL AT UNBEATARLE PRICES '92 GMC 7* TON 4x4 V8,5 speed, air.

Socialists f playing charity ripoff VICTORIA - NDP headquarters violated gaming regulations by failing to pay the South Burnaby Men's Club money owed after a bingo held in June of 1984, said MLA Mike de Jong this week. An NDP headquarters' bingo license names the South Burnaby Men's Club as the benefactor of proceeds for a bingo held in 1984. The Men's Club financial statements list no donations of any kind in 1984. The NDP headquarters failed to file financial statements to show how much money was raised, and so it is impossible to say how much money the NDP owes the men's club. "Once again we have evidence that the NDP is involved in charity rip-offs," said de Jong. "The difference this time is that it is not the Nanaimo NDP, it is NDP headquarters that engineered the deal, and the NCHS is not involved. I also find it curious that Joe Denofreo signed the bingo license. Obviously Denofreo, who masterminded the Dollars for Change lottery cited by the Parks report, masterminded this deal as well." De Jong noted that Paul Ramsey's ministerial assistant, Bryan Mclver was also listed on the license. Denofreo was interviewed by Ron Parks about the South Burnaby Men's Club bingo, and he said he had no recollection of the issue. The five pages of documents highlighting the headquarters' bingo were obtained through a freedom of information request. The rest of the file - some 25 pages - was severed, the reason given was that it may "interfere with law enforcement" "The five pages of documents we did receive were damaging to the NDP," said de Jong. "It is anyones' guess what could be in the 25 pages of documents we did not receive. It is time the NDP came clean and gave the public a full accounting of how much money they have bilked from charities. British Columbians cannot expect to go to the polls while this cover-iip continues. At the very least the missing 25 pages from the NDP's gaming file should be released immediately." WATERMAIN FLUSHING LANGLEY WATERMAIN FLUSHING IN ALDERGROVE As part of our Maintenance Program, the Municipal Water Department will be flushing watermains in your area on the dates shown below. As a result of this flushing, you may notice changes in water pressure and there may be some discolouration or sediment in the water. However, this is a temporary condition and is not a health hazard. To avoid inconvenience, check the water before doing laundry, and you may wish to keep water in the refrigerator for drinking and cooking.

Month after month, people are dumping garbage on this prime commercial lot in the heart of Aldergrove, on Fraser Highway, and it's disgusting beyond description. How do we stop it? The lot has been vacant for years after Ferguson's Meats closed, and the building levelled after a fire damaged it, but when people can see garbage and rats ifs not surprising that there's been no action on the "for sale" sign. The property's owners can hardly be blamed for what others dump there after nightfall, but there has to be a solution. Any suggestions? - Kurt Langmann photo _______*..________* R & TIRE New and Used Tires — Quality Cars, Trucks and Campers — Brakes, Shocks and Front-end Service "RUCKa TIRES .235/85R16 10 ply A/S 115.°°^ 26827 Fraser Highway 856-5011 HAGAR THE HORRIBLE t!H* \,tf0 &>& VbZK BR00MHILDA HEY...

Spokespersons Lynn Fripps and Eleanor Parkinson gave a short history of the committee's work at Monday's township council meeting. Instream work is hold until after the spawning season this summer, but planting of trees along banks continues year-round. Members also have attended streainkeeper's courses and forums, which have not only certified members but also led to cre- ation of "adopt a stream" programs and cooperative efforts between B.C. and Washington to protect the watershed which flows south to the Nooksack River. The major stream project at the 32A Avenue culdesac was completed last year and its success netted the committee the Elaine Burke Award, which includes $ l ,000 for more tree seedlings. Tom Forster said township funding is in place for "building onto the 32A project," with addition of a trail and footbridge to the township property there. He said the creation of an urban forest there would be valuable as a public education tool, and the committee has all required permits for that purpose. Also on line for this coming year is work "upstream from 271 Street," said Forster. The low- lying and neglected property behind Panther Computers and McGinnis Photography, which includes an old orchard, will see instream work as well as a trail and footbridge completed by Aldergrove Rotarians and Envi- ronmcntal Partners Fund. Forster also expressed hope that Azalea Holdings will contribute toward work on the section of Bertrand Creek behind Aldergrove Mall. Buyers look through Kohler's and Coaspac's fleet before Feb. 14's auction. -Kurt Langmann photo Local business is now tiistory ALDERGROVE - A big piece of local history went on the auction block on Valentine's Day, and buyers flew in from Europe, Chicago, California and New Brunswick to pick the bones of another small business casualty. Kohler's European Sausages' slaughterhouse, meat packing plant, trucks and fixtures went to the highest bidders, along with similar property from Coaspac. A spokesman for the auction house said the various specialty equipment would likely sell for a fraction of their value, making it worthwhile for buyers to fly in from around the world. "It's too bad but the little guys are getting squeezed out by the big guys," he said! "Kohler's had pride in the quality they put out, but when they marked it at $1.99 in the store, the competition would mark theirs $1.89. There's no way to compete against some body who's killing 200,000 hogs when you're killing 5,000." The Kohler property is still owned by Sig Kohler's family, and the plant was started by Sig's father over 50 years ago. The plant expanded several times over the years but a year ago the layoffs dwindled the once 200-strong employee force. Now surrounded by subdivisions, the property is expected to be redeveloped as residential lots. H.H.
