- ■ vW-- ■ POT-GROWING NEIGHBOUR BUSTED Family terrorized LANGLEY - On Monday February 13, at about 11 a.m, two men invaded a home in the 6100 block of 240 Street, and held a woman and her two children at gunpoint while they searched for drugs. They left immediately after realizing they were in the wrong home. The victims woe left unharmed but very frightened. As police conducted enquiries in the area, they discovered the very strong stench of marijuana coming from a home at 6205-240 Street. A search warrant was obtained and police searched the residence, seizing eight fully grown marijuana plants, a complete hydroponic growing operation and about two pounds of marijuana bud. Approximate street value of the seizure is $12,000. Forty-two year old William Duncan MacGougan is charged with cultivation of marijuana and possession of a narcotic for tlie purpose of trafficking. He appeared in Langley provincial court on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile police are still looking for the two men involved in the home invasion. They are described as 17 to 20 years of age, between 5'6" and 5'9" tall, with medium builds and light brown hak. Both were wearing ball caps and baggy pants. One was wearing a black Los Angeles Raiders jacket. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Langley RCMP at 532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 669-TIPS(8477). Native carver Rick Harry checks his measurements while roughing-in a grizzly bear shape in a cedar log. The finished totem pole will be erected at Betty Gilbert Elementary School. Harry will be working on the totem every Wednesday in front of the school. He hopes to have the project finished in about a month. The log was donated by Mill and Timber Products of Surrey. Betty Gilbert Elementary received a $5,000 grant from Native Studies-Social Studies for grade 4. Harry will also carve a welcome figure for Aldergrove Community Secondary, when this totem is finished. -Tim Attwood Photo. Staff bonus plan under fire LANGLEY - Township coun. Muriel Arnason says a proposed new policy to pay bonuses to staff who find ways to save money on the operating budget is a mistake. The proposal, part of a new finance and budget process being implemented by township administrators, would direct part of the money saved through innovative management to staff bonuses, from the lowliest secretary to the chief executive officer, while the bulk of the money would go back into the particular department's budget Armed thief poses as 7-11 store clerk BROOKSWOOD - Police are looking for witnesses after a thief posed as a 7-11 store attendant for up to an hour, before escaping with an undetermined amount of cigarettes. The real attendant had been bound and locked in a backroom, where he was found by police unharmed. RCMP said that at 1:55 a.m., Feb. 13, a lone male armed with a handgun robbed the 7-11 at 40 Avenue and 200 Street. The suspect tied up the attendant, put on a 7-11 uniform and served customers for about one hour before making off with cigarette stock. Police are requesting anyone who was a customer at the store between 1 and 4 a.m., Feb. 13, to contact RCMP at 532-3200. The suspect was described as a white male, 5'10", 160 pounds, 25-30 years old, collar length blond hair, numerous tattoos, moustache and goatee, and wearing blue jeans and checkered shirt. A similar robbery style was used last week at the Crescent Beach Chevron station, where the robber made off with a small amount of cash after serving customers for about an hour. for that year. "I am concerned," said Arnason, Monday. "Township employees have security, a good job; why should we pay them extra to save money? They should be thankful... does someone at the top, earning $100,000 a year, deserve a bonus?" Mayor John Scholtens pointed out the proposal was not yet policy, but couns. Steve Ferguson and Steve Burton quickly leapt to defend the concept. "We're breaking new ground here... we're up for an award from the Fraser Institute for our long-range (budget) plan, and making headway with our lauded rural plan," said Ferguson, adding that "gainshar- ing" is part of what will make it work. "The old image of five guys leaning on a shovel doesn't happen... this will work only if everyone's on track." Burton commented that it was "unusual" for him to agree with Ferguson, and that the "pros and cons" are being weighed before council makes a decision. "It's a common practice in the private sector, and will not be an added tax or expense."

Coun. Mel Kositsky said the proposed bylaw amendment #3414, to prohibit crematorium uses in areas zoned for funeral homes, had only been distributed among councilors two hours earlier, and both he and Muriel Arnason argued against proceeding hastily. "We moved too quickly on tlie last applicant and should have learned something from that experience," said Kositsky. He was referring to the controversy over Personal Alternative's funeral home and crematorium in Aldergrove late last year. An application to the B.C. Supreme Court in December was dismissed and Personal Alternative's building is now nearing completion. "I will not be coerced into hurrying," said Arnason. Coun. Steve Burton made the motion to proceed, seconded by Heather McMullan, and Steve Ferguson and Trudi Campen argued for it: "It's not a quick process," said Campen, who added that there would be a public hearing and would "take months" before adoption. However, while the motion failed to pass, it is sure to return soon. Transit review called LANGLEY - The abysmal quality of the transit service in the community continues to be a sore point among township councilors here. The recent cancellation of central Fraser Villey to \fcncouver service by Fraser Valley Bus and Charters provoked the latest complaints, even though the route has been taken over by Greyhound subsidiary, Brewster. Abbotsford council has also complained that the provincial government has failed to deliver new transit buses promised last summer to the new city. Langley township councilor Steve Burton served notice this week that the township should bring "the inadequate transit service" to attention of BC Transit and a review of the area's needs should be undertaken. Burtonlp colleagues on council have been growing restless over the issue over the past ye&fj and the criticisms voiced have been public and caustic. ' Fraser Valley Bus and Charters have also expressed their anger over the province's recent cancellation of their charter licence. Company spokesperson Fay Christie predicts that charter prices will become more expensive now that one of the competitors has been put out of die game.

S. tax foe eggs on Canucks KELOWNA - Canadians must stick together if they hope to stop future federal tax hikes, the head of an American anti-tax group told a capacity crowd here recendy. "While death and taxes may be inevitable, being taxed to death is not," said Joel Fox, president of the 200,000 member Howard Jarvis Taxpayers' Association, which spearheaded a tax limitation battle in California 17 years ago. Solidarity is the key to success in campaigns against excessive taxation, Fox said at the first of 17 anti-tax rallies being organized by the Canadian Taxpayers' Association.

OTTAWA - The Reform Party Posse has revealed some interesting things that the federal government is funding with taxpayer's dollars, in the form' of Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Grants and Fellowships. Research money has been allocated for the following very important studies: Twelve thousand dollars was given for the study of the capital sin of lechery (lust) in the philosophical, theological and confessional literature of the later middle ages. A study on the Politics and Economic Change in Malawi from 1890-1964 received $30,000. A study on Orbits of Solitude: the poetics of exile in traditional Chinese poetry was worth $34,720. . Over $54,000 was spent on the Police ask for help on B&Es LANGLEY - RCMP have seen a noticeable increase in the number of residential and business break and enters over the past six months. Police are requesting the assistance of Langley residents in solving this situation. Most of the residential break and enters are happening during the day when the home owners are away at work. Residents who do not work or work out of their homes are asked to be aware of any suspicious persons or vehicles on their streets or cul de sacs. Anyone with information to offer should call die Langley RCMP Break and Enter unit, 532-3283. If there is no answer, leave a message and a police officer will return your call. This telephone line is an information line only, so anyone reporting a situation requiring immediate attention should phone 911. Business break and enters are occjjrring at night so anyone seeing unusual activity in a business or industrial area after normal working hours should also call the police. Residents are asked to make note of licence numbers and vehicle and person descriptions so that police have something concrete to work with. Every year individuals are seeing an increase in insurance premiums because of the rising number of claims. In order to keep premium increases to a minimum, the police and the residents of Langley must work together. With approximately 80,000 pairs of eyes assisting the police this goal can be accomplished. Langley RCMP Crime Prevention unit and the Neighbourhood, Block and Business Watch groups are also working together to combat this problem. If anyone is not comfortable passing information directly to the police but knows someone within these groups, give them the information and they will ensure that the police receive it. study of mediaeval German lay- women as book owners, scribes and patrons.

Fraser \klley West MP Randy White is urging all Canadians to send a loud message to Ottawa that they don't want any more tax increases because, he says, "This is the irresponsible spending attitude taxpayers never hear about. Is it any wonder Canadians and foreign money markets don't believe the Liberals are going to really get tough on the deficit?" House of ill repute shut down ABBOTSFORD - Christine Adams, owner of two reflexology clinics, has pleaded guilty in provincial court to one count to keeping a common bawdy house. Police spent three months surveying the Abbotsford Shiatsu and Reflexology Clinic after customers claimed \ that sexual services were being offered, with prices staring at $100. Adams, who also operated a clinic in Aldergrove, will return to court later this month for sentencing. Reform slams provincial welfare politics VICTORIA - The burgeoning growth in welfare costs, and caseloads, confirmed in the province's latest statistics, is unacceptable to taxpayers, BC Reform leader Jack Weisgerber said. Weisgerber's comments were made in response to statistics he released that were obtained from the Ministry of Social Services. "Ministry stats show diat from September 1991 to October 1994 the number of British Columbians receiving welfare rose from 246,605 to 345,624 re- r cipients," Weisgerber said. "There are 1.7-million taxpayers in British Columbia, who are now paying almost $1,200 apiece, on average, to finance welfare spending that has almost doubled under the NDP. "With the most robust economy in Canada, British Columbia now has 100,000 people more on welfare than it did diree years ago. That fact is largely attributable to NDP policies that have allowed single parents to stay on welfare longer without looking for work and single employable men to abuse the system. "It's not good enough for Harcourt to point the finger at Alberta in defending his government's own pathetic welfare record. The fact is, the total out- of-province caseload only accounts for seven percent of all welfare cases, in British Columbia, and Ontario still accounts for the largest chunk of those cases. "British Columbia has become a welfare haven because die Harcourt government doesn't have the backbone to stand up for BC taxpayers and clamp down on welfare abuse and expenditures. "There are now 83,702 single men on welfare, up from 59,147 in September 1991. We believe diat that figure alone could be dramatically reduced by requiring all single employables to pick up dieir welfare cheques in person, wliich this government has unfortunately refused to consider," said Weisgerber. r BEST SELECTION Grcutge 'o&UMffb > BEST PRICES BACKGUARD* Grange TWIN SIZE 298 set FULL SIZE 348 set ■ QUEEN SIZE $00000 WE ALSO HAVE VICTORY WATERBED REPLACEMENT MATTRESSES SET 9t 3 Good Reasons to Buy at Gosling's ... ^_ Knowledgeable ond helpful staff, eager to answer your \9 questions on bedding construction- materials1, warranties, etc {£7 Excellent old fashioned service, including FREE delivery and FREE disposal of old mattress. sKf We have been servicing the needs of this Comunity for over 73 years.

Canada is already one of the most heavily taxed nations in the world. \bu can push a people only so far, you can increase their taxes only so much, and then they take the law into their own hands by way of open revolt. This is already happening. The writing is on the wall. The real reason for the runaway debt and deficit in Canada is the federal government's own unrestrained and out of control spending spree. This is widely understood and a growing number of people are coming to see it more and more clearly each day. It is fun to spend other people's money as if it were water, but it is wrong. Government overspending has gone on too long, and the enormous weight of diis burden is crushing us all. Let government serve the people- we have had enough of the people having to serve the government. As one of many possible ways to reduce government spending, a good and very effective means of putting us back on the road to recovery, there is the option of privatizing die CBC. I am not suggesting that this be done overnight, of course, but I would give notice to this crown corporation that it has exacdy one year to become a profit-making business, or, failing that, it will disappear. Why should we continue to subsidize the CBC at an annual expense to the taxpayer of one billion dollars when so many of us do not want it in the first place, when our country is in the most critical state of its history and on the brink of collapse? While we're at it, get rid of the CRTC, the National Film Board, and every vestige of multicultur- alism. If you were to poll Canadians and ask who among diem was prepared to feed and nurse these white elephants in die midst of the present crisis, I believe you would be surprised by die overwhelming number who would cry out to pull the plug and let them die a natural death. TOM AICKEN, Langley Just harmless fun Editor, The Star, Sir, Recendy, some of Canada's media have elected to exploit certain, time-honoured military rituals. It would appear they have done this, not out of any desire to educate or explain, but, more probably, out of ignorance. The most recent case concerns Canada's navy, and Crossing the Line Ceremony. There is nothing sinister, devious, disgusting, or dirty about the ceremony that takes place each and every time a ship (or, in some instances, aeroplane) crosses the equator. Mariners have been observing this crossing - as they have others such as Arctic Circle - for centuries. For the Canadian Navy, this is a mu<dh looked-forward to event. Before a ship sails from home- port on a southward voyage, a suitable 'tank' is taken onboard. This 'tank* is the site of the initiation ceremony. On the day prior to the ship's crossing from the Northern Hemisphere into die Southern Hemisphere, the ship is approached by heralds of King Neptune. These heralds set out certain conditions that must be met in order that the ship, Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community. The let- ters-to-the-editor column is 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 enlighten or stimulate thought are welcome. We ask that letters be free of libel and bear the name and address of the author. Submissions must include a written signature. We prefer letters to be typed and double spaced, and present the comment as clearly and briefly as possible. The editor reserves the right to condense or reject letters con- faming iibel-oT -ofpoortaste: known to be carrying tadpoles (diose who have not crossed the equator previously), can 'Cross die Line.' The next day, at about noon, King Neptune, accompanied by Queen Amphitrite, and a troupe consisting of the barber, the doctor, and the bears rise from the sea and take up their positions at the tank. All tadpoles are rounded up and brought before King Neptune. Tlie ritual that follows is harmless, yet it follows a routine that has, with minor modifications, been followed by mariners round the world from at least the seventeenth century. After a tadpole's appearance and initiation ceremony before King Neptune, he becomes a shellback. A suitably worded certificate, complete with elaborate design, is presented to each new shellback. Certificates become an honoured item, not to be lost. Without a certificate, even a shellback would have to undergo a second initiation. Few certificates are lost. After the last tadpole has been initiated, King Neptune and his entourage disappear over the side. In the Canadian Navy this Mystic Rites of the Freedom of the Seas, according to the Ancient Customs of King Neptune and his Watery Realm, is an event not to be missed. For CTV, and other media outlets, to represent the Crossing the Line Ceremony as being anything other than a tradition carried out by sailors down through the pages of time, is tantamount to disparaging the thousands of Canadian sailors - many live in the Aldergrove region - who have participated in the King Neptune ritual. Shame on the ignorant civilians at CTV, and other news sources who take great delight in attempting to destroy all that is good and decent in this country. The Canadian Armed Forces, it seems, are their flavour of the month. BOB ORRICK, Richmond— .OINAD^DfflCiTWiilfiOOM. % R1MINATEP. / What finance gurus said: John Turner in his budget speech on June 23, 1975: "I come now to specific measures. None is more important than the control of public expenditures." In the 1975-76 budget year the federal government's overspending was $6.2-billion and the country's accumulated debt grew to $33.9- billion. The next year, on May 25, 1976, Donald Macdonald had this to say: "Now that the recovery is well established and private spending is rising, it is equally appropriate that these record deficits should recede. During his term, the deficit stood at $6.8- billion and the debt thus grew to $407-billion. Next, it was finance minister Jean Chretien's turn: "Significant reductions in the deficit can be expected." Ah, yes, the deficit for die 1978-79 budget year came in at $13.1-billion raising the country's debt to $64.7-billion. John Crosbie, on December 11, 1979: "The fundamental objective of our fiscal plan is to bring about a steady reduction in our deficits." He managed a minor cut of $l.l-billion. Deficit at $12- billion and debt now at $76.7-bil- lion. Two years later, on November 12, 1981, Allan MacEachen: "I believe we must reduce our deficit and our borrowing requirements substantially." Belief may be one thing, facts another. Deficit climbed to $15.5-billion, overall debt to $106.5-billion. Allan MacEachen gave it another go some seven months later. On June 28, 1982, he had this to say: "The government cannot responsibly add to the deficit." The same government irresponsibly allowed the deficit to balloon to $28.7-billion. Debt rose to $135.3- billion. Mark Lalonde was next. "In the medium term- the deficit will fall," he promised on February 15, 1984. In the short term, however, it rose by almost $10-billion to $38.5-billion, bringing the debt to $206.5-billion. Followed Michael Wilson of the Progressive Conservatives: "When the government came to office, ■ we encountered a debt problem of massive proportions. Tlie buck was passed to us. Wfell, the buck stops here." The 1986-87 fiscal year, saw a deficit of $30.7-billion, with an accumulated debt of $271.8-bil- lion. Wilson <_ame back four years later widi this optimistic stat<2- ment: "We will reduce the deficit to $28.5-billion next year. We will cut it in half to $l4-billion in three more years. \Xfe will reduce it further to $10-billion in the year after that." Actually, the deficit for that year was $32-billion, and in the meantime the debt had grown to $388.3-billion. Don Mazankowski on February 25, 1992: "Wa will substantially reduce the deficit." His arithmetic was somewhat faulty, with the government's overspending for that year at $4l-billion, bringing the debt to $460.8-billion. During his next term the government managed to spend more than ever and the national debt passed the half-trillion-dollar mark. Yet, finance minister Mazankowski didn't lack nerve when he claimed in the April 26,1993 budget speech that "I am presenting a budget that will deliver ... a strong positive initiative for a cooperative national attack on all government debt." Deficit that year a cool $45-billion; debt at $506.2-billion. So mu<-h for a national attack. Later that year the Tories were gendy eased out of office after the prime minister, Brian Mulroney, had chosen to abandon ship. One year ago, on February 27,1994, the current finance minister, Paul Martin, said: "For years, governments have been promising more than they c_an deliver, and delivering more than they can afford. That has to end. We are ending it." In the past year the federals spent a projected $42-billion (the final figures are not in yet) and the debt rose to $560-billion. What will Martin be telling us at the end of this month? Enthusiasm still there The Star, Sir, I read with interest Eileen Van Pelt's letter headed "What's Happening?" (The Star, February 1). She raised a number of excellent points that clearly demonstrates a level of frustration amongst the public regarding recycling initiatives. In response, and perhaps to boost her enthusiasm, I'd like to comment from a recycler's perspective. To answer her question of "what has happened to the enthusiasm of ... everyone concerned with disposal of our unwanted materials'', here's the good news: Laidlaw Waste Systems, the largest company in Vancouver and Canada responsible for handling people's wastes and recyclables, hasn't lost its enthusiasm! In fact , our entire company vision centres around creating ecological improvement -today-for the world of tomorrow.— In Greater Vancouver, Laidlaw collects waste and/or recyclables from nearly 140,000 homes and 14,000 businesses. Laidlaw's efforts alone divert nearly 5,000 tonnes of materials from landfill every month We call that enthusiasm. It's also important to remember that recycling is the third "R" - not making waste in the first place or re-using items is prioritized even higher than recycling. Like many things, changing people's attitudes takes time and effort. Fortunately, the lawmakers of our province saw the need to make dramatic changes to protect our environment some years ago and regional districts around the province have been responding ever since. The Greater Vancouver Regional District has been working hard to develop a new waste management plan with expected completion hy the end of this year. Given the magnitude of the problem and effort needed to effect fundamental change in communities, the three years of hard work it's taken to develop the GVRD plan is perhaps not surprising. Less time could mean a compromised plan that people may not take seriously, especially given the need for adequate consultation required by law. More good news is that efforts have not stopped during -this planning period. Many corporations and organizations have worked tirelessly to bring about change as quickly as possible. The Recycling Council of British Columbia, for example, is an excellent organization that has brought real attention to the tough issues we face. And at Laidlaw, we were recendy recognized locally and nationally as a More letters, gages 6 & 27 . THIS WEEK ONLY Earn an additional 2500 SELECT PLUS bonus points with a $100 minimum order.

Ms. Van Pelt's concerns are very valid. There is a level of confusion as to 'what one is supposed to do to recycle. What one community accepts for recycling, another may not. In general, though, either the municipality's solid waste management office or the recycling contractor should have all the information a resident needs to know what to do. Aldergrove is an area not currently served by Laidlaw, but we'd be happy to help answer questions for any area of the Lower Mainland if we can. Finally, to Ms. Van Pelt's comment, "For a couple of years now, I have read or heard nothing to encourage preserving our environment by recycling garbage", I'd suggest she contact Laidlaw Waste Systems, the Recycling Council of B.C., or the ' GVRD as tonnes (sorry!) of information awaits her. I'm sure each organization would be happy to let her re-use the stacks of press . clippings and recycling information material that's available. GRANT WRIGHT Coquitlam Under the carpet Reader sick of amalgam Editor, The Star, Sir, I believe that any legislation brought in to legalize the use of heroin is actually only an effort to sweep the problem of drug use under the carpet and in effect say that no heroin problem exists. But could there also be a hidden reason for our politicians wishing to legalize tlie sale of heroin? One reason that quickly comes to mind is that tlie sale of heroin would reap fresh revenue into government coffers from tlie sales tax. But what effect would legalizing the use of heroin have on our young people? Legalizing heroin certainly would not reduce the <_rime rate as the addict would still require funds to support his habit. By the government getting into the drug business, it could have the opposite effetf on the population that they state as their reason for wishing to legalize it. Because the addict could obtain heroin more cheaply there would be many more overdoses, instead of less. R.H. MAYES, Rossland Back off, council Editor, The Star, Sir, Take heed Coquidam City Councal, you will not be able to successfully regulate secondary suites. Homeowners and renters will continue more than ever to help each other financially while avoiding taxes. Indeed, people will freely choose to live in more affordable places without government consent Oh yes, the market e<x>nomy is growing. I know a couple living in one of these unregulated suites in Coquidam and own no vehicle. Like myself, they do this to survive and with clear conscience, ignore any restrictions placed upon so-called illegal suites. For those complaining about subsidizing others who are tak ing a stand for their life and liberty, stop subsidizing. Other homeowners in my neighbourhood own four vehi- des and have no tenants. I respect that. Some have four children; maybe we should regulate how much garbage ea<_h schild can have and how many times people can flush their toilets, and charge a tax accordingly. To even imply that secondary suites are substandard and people should not live in them avoids the reality of free choice - without government coercion. Indeed, people choose to live where and how they live in a free country. So back off or we'll choose how and where you govern. JOE N. PELECH, Coquidam Editor, The Star, Sir, I am fed up to hear any complaint about two Langleys and amalgamation. Why not let city of Langley join Surrey. Let Aldergrove join Abbotsford. Then shutup! You should say "Proud City of Langley" and Proud City of Aldergrove". You should not say two Langleys. Why I refuse to accept "Langley?" "You have to understand that blame goes back to old time politicians who neglected Aldergrove's needs long time ago. They treat Aldergrove like cheap-rate class. PresenUy if Aldergrove wished to join Langley city, they laugh at us. We face high costs to pay expenses to Langley citys improvements - not Aldergrove's needs. Same old thing. See, Aldergrove sewage going to Abbotsford's JAMES plant will save $3.5-million! Old time politics did not pay attention what Aldergrove needed a long time ago. Therefore Aldergrove will pay high taxes and expenses to Langley. I prefer Aldergrove join automatic to Matsqui, they will assist us, with less taxes and less expenses. I stand to honour to Proud Aldergrove City, always. EDWARD FORD, Aldergrove ' LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Censorship deplored Editor, The Star, Sir, I am writing to register a strong protest against the decision of the Fraser Valley Regional Library Board to ban all free publications from all libraries in the region. As a member of the Delta Library, I take strong exception to having my reading material censored, and particularly by a group from another municipality Their decision to ban 40 publications, in order to prohibit one newspaper that offends them, is ridiculous when you consider that Uiey are depriving thousands of readers of perfectly innocuous publications directed towards seniors, travellers, parents, computer users, and many others. It is even more ridiculous when you realize that the same type of material that they are attempting to censor in one publication is freely available in other books on the library shelves. I urge all library users in the region to voice their protests to the Board and to the member of their municipal council who sits on the Library Board. This decision should be reversed as soon as passible. J.C.WALLACE Delta Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the-community.

Fraser Valley should be proud to be represehted with such dedicated athletes, that are striving to attain their goals of sportsmanship, leadership and citizenship. Their improvement is a credit to their dedication in training. They are instructed in their target- shooting by Langley resident Ariio Baron.

Arriving Monday they are billeted with loscal hockey families. Their itinerary includes three games against Aldergrove opposition. This Wednesday (Feb. 15) evening at 9 pm they play Randy Froom's Bantam 'C team. They also have games on Friday 10 am at the Aldergrove Arena against Don Morrison's Bantam 'C team and 10:15 am on Sunday at the Langley Twin Rinks against the PeeWee 'A' Bruins.

The athletes have been training hard on their swimming skills also by practising every Sunday at Langleys Blair Pool from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Every participant from novice through senior shaved numerous seconds from their previous best times. It proves the old adage if you practice anything regularly you can only improve, and judging from die smiles from the 16 tired athletes on the return ferry home, commitment really does have its own rewards. The inclement weather did nothing to dampen their spirits during the running event, and their improved record times showed their enthusiasm and energy. Barry Tomkins, international senior competitor, and Ian Schnoller also attended these events giving the children inspiration to strive. Winners included the following locals: Novice girls Krystin S<-hmid, Megan Dinsmore, Hannah Simpson and Esther Simpson; Novice boys Chris Nicholls, Adam Thorson, Kyle McDonald, Steven McLay, Matt Grant and Erik Simpson; Junior girls Carrie McDonald, Beth Winklehorst, Jessica Morris and Kadierine Simpson; Junior boys James Kuppers; and Senior girls Jennifer Kuppers. ^^^MSS^^^^SSSS^^^^^i Langley Thunder's Shawn Kennedy used his stick to block Dustin Whitecotton.

Gold Key hot in deep freeze ALDERGROVE - Gold Key United playing away to the Surrey Marlins B team in the first round of the Premier League Cup on Sunday, Feb. 12, fashioned an honest hard-working effort into a well-earned 1-0 victory. Playing in abominable weather, with freezing temperatures and very high winds creating a hard to endure bone-chilling situation, Gold Key were equal to the task at hand. Marlins B were held to less than six chances all day with none of them giving Gold Key goalie ■ Michele Gademans any problems. Gold Key's goal came at the 10 minute mark of the first half when Angie Carey took the ball wide and using her speed, she rounded the defender, and laid an excellent pass to Lori Ormrod in front of the goal, who controlled ant shot all in one move ment. The ball hit the netting before the goalie moved. Gold Key created many more chances throughout the game and came within inches of scoring more. Coach John Deacon said, "It was a great team effort, especially in that weather." Next game for Gold Key will be at home against top-og-league Marlins A team on Sunday, Feb. 19, noon kick-off.

Cold snap takes toll By CHARLIE FOX ALDERGROVE - The Titan Construction Bantam 'A' Bniins team headed in to an early playoff date with the Cloverdale Colts at the corral on Sunday evening. It happened that the cold front had just moved in and this obviously affected the Bruins as the snipers were silenced for the most part. Short three players due to illness and injury, the first period was fast paced but the many close opportunities for the Bruins could not be converted and this was evident on the scoreboard as they found themselves down 3-0. The second and third periods saw the Bruins continue to work hard but the bounce of the puck was not in their favor and it wasn't until midway through the third period that Scott Seifert converted a pass from Chris Fox to break the Cloverdale goalie's shut-out bid. That was all the scoring the Bruins could muster in the cold confines of the corral as they went down to defeat 6-1. They now await news of their next opponent in the President's Cup playoff round.

It's over! The Western Line Painting Atom "A" Bruins have finished the season of regular play with a down to the wire fight with North Surrey for first place in their league. Aldergrove hosted die North Surrey Atom "A"2 team on 'Wednesday night in hopes of beating them and claiming the pennant in front of their home crowd. North Surrey had other plans and were not about to give in without a fight. The game started off with both teams playing good solid hockey and it wasn't until half way through the first period that Aldergrove got the break that they were looking for. Cory McKinnon was able to trap the puck in the Surrey end and get it up to Ricky Monison. Ricky let fly with a hard shot at the Surrey net where Jason McGovern had parked himself. Jason made a nice play tipping the puck in past the Surrey goalie. The period ended this way but five minutes into the second North Surrey was able to tie things up. Tilings started to happen as 23 seconds later Ricky Morrison scored after taking a pass from Jeff Toth and the Bruins took the lead again. But this lead was short lived as a half minute later North Surrey tied the game up at two. Surrey managed to take the lead in the last few minutes of the second period and hang on to it until three minutes into the third. Shaun Siseffert broke across the Surrey blue line and took a nice hard shot at the net, Danny Thomson was there to put in the rebouncL Two minutes later the Bruins went ahead when Matthew Keith made a good eSort to get the puck into the Surrey end and take a shot. Kyle Olinek was in front of the net to hammer home the puck for the go ahead goal. This game was far from over as a couple of minutes later Surrey would show us by tying up the game again. Things would stay very tense for the next eight minutes or so. This game would have been over if it had not been for the outstanding play of both the goalies. Aldergrove outshot Surrey badly and if it had not been for some great saves that the Surrey goalie had made the score would have been very different. Clinton Pahlke was in the net for the Bruins and kept our boys in the game with many good saves as well. North Surrey took the lead with less than three minutes left in the game. Our Bruins played hard to get that goal back but it was not going to happen tonight. Surrey scored one more empty net goal to end this game and set up their final meeting oh Saturday night in North Surrey. Both teams would go into Saturdays game tied in points so it was a must win for both sides. It would prove to be some of the best hockey either team had played all year. Aldergrove always have had a tough time scoring against this North Surrey goalie and this would be no different. As with the last game this one started off going from end to end and this time Clinton Pahlke kept the Bruins in the game for the first five minutes until they settled down and went to work. Eight minutes into the game Shaun Sieffert made a great pass up to Danny Thomson. Danny was able to make a nice play getting the Bruins on the score board first. A couple of minutes later Jason Garrison took a shot at the Surrey goalie and Kyle Olinek was able to hammer in the rebound. North Surrey scored with 30 seconds left in the first period to make it 2 to 1 for the Bruins. The second period opened with Surrey tying up the game but it was not long before Jake Boake passed the puck up and over the Surrey blue line where Matthew Keith picked it up on the fly and let go with one of his hardest slap shots. He picked the right hand top corner over the goalie's shoulder. The goalie didn't have time to move much less stop the shot! We were up by one. The period ended this way and the third carried on in much the same fashion and it was not until the five minute mark when Ricky Morrison was able to get the Bruins insurance goal and take a lot of steam out of the North Surrey team. The Western Line Painting Bruins won this game and in doing so won the pennant for the league (championship. This ■ kind of team work will only help you in your coming tournaments and other play-off games. At this time I would like to thank the scoaches Mike Toth, Darryl Singbiel, Danny Thomson, and team manager Tom Keith for all the work they have put in to this year. Also Western Line Painting for their support through the year, but most of all I think the parents of these boys. Without the dedication of parents like you we would have no teams and our children would end up getting into trouble at some 7-11. So if you want to see our pennant come to the Aldergrove Arena and look up.

The club proposes sites on township parkland at either Marina Park or Brea Island, as some of their canoes are too heavy to take away on cartops. Reid's Garage site is to be redeveloped, but efforts are underway to preserve the heritage building. The relocation has support from Fort Langley Com-mu- nity Improvement Society and Langley Heritage Society. However, the township is currently reviewing the municipal boat launch site and may move it to a more appropriate location as river currents here make it difficult to maintain the present site.

Bruins only had one game this week, a home affair against the silver and black of Poco. Aldergrove has been struggling at home lately as they have saved their better performances for the road. The Hewitt and Co. Bruins were hoping to break that streak this night Aldergrove struck first at 13:30. After the puck was kept in by the defense, the shot was stopped and a melee ensued around the net, where it was finally shoved in. Not the prettiest goal, but it put Aldergrove up 1- 0. Poco tied it at 11:00. Then after an Aldergrove penalty, Poco picked up the tempo. Unfortunately, Aldergrove did not. Goalie Will Padey was called on to make three great saves, but he couldn't hold the fort as Poco scored with 1:40 left to take a 2-1 lead into the second. Poco kept the pace going and Aldergrove just couldn't get going. The visitors scored at 10:48 and 0:37 to lead 4-1 going into the third. The home team was handed a slew of power plays in the third and, while they had come chances, they were largely ineffective. Poco scored at 14:40 and again on the power play at 7:02, as Aldergrove's home record continued with a 6-1 loss. Spartans net wins LANGLEY - It was a very good weekend for the Trinity ''OCfestern University women's volleyball team. A pair of wins against Columbia Bible College boosted their league record to 10-6 with the Provincials only three weeks away. Taking both matches in three straight games, the Spartans received some smart serving by all of the players involved. Marie Heinen did an excellent job of involving all the Spartan attackers. "This was a good weekend for us," stated coach Barry Heidebrecht, "'Wfe had the opportunity to work on some new offensive plays./ With the Provincials coming up we need to feel very comfortable with our new hitting schemes." On Friday, February 11, the Spartans play their last home game of the season as they host Langara College at 4 pm. tuatt Eyewear Selection System Eyewear for the whole family from Tura, the most complimented eyewear in the world. m UNITED OPTICAL TOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" 859-7115 CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE 32500 South Fraser Way, Clearbrook Auto Tech alignment iNC.f NEIL HALBERT Complete Suspension Brake & Wheel Service. ■ 530-9119 -v- 201 - 5726 Landmark Way (just off Langley Bypass behind Langley Chrysler) GORDON STENNER Protect I ^our I RRSP j| From a Potential Currency Devaluation To see what your options are ■ eall for an appointment #164-2655 CLEARBROOK RD.

ALDERGROVE - Dawson Brill Bruins rallied from a 7-5 deficit and hung on for an exciting 9-8 victory over Discovery Software Pirates last Saturday at the Aldergrove Arena. The seesaw battle produced many fine plays by both teams and some spectacular saves by the Pirates' Iain Cassels and the Bruins' Daniel Hunt. Dawson Brill was led by Eric McGovern who had three goals, including the winner. Teammate Teddy Vickers had another strong game chipping in with two goals and a pair of assists, while speedy forward Jake Morris notched a brace himself. Singles went to Roy Arthur and Chris Jensen. The Bruins also got superb defensive play from Brad Waters and Cody Olinek. Discovery Software had outstanding play from the line of Darcy Goodman, Stephen Howerton, and Matthew Sherwin. Howerton had three pretty goals all set up by Goodman, who also had one of his own. Defenseman Andrew Love was sensational in scoring his first ever hat trick. Kevin Carlson completed the Pirates' scoring with a goal and two assists. Smooth center Michael Kittirath contributed several pinpoint passes to set up wingers Aman Aujula and Kyle Brett with golden scoring opportunities. Kevin Harper, Brady Fishhook, and Gabe Macdougall looked solid on the Pirates' blueline. Next game for the Pirates is this Saturday against Rick Palombi's Red Hawks. ALDERGROVE - The Pee Wee A's had a difficult run to end their regular season. Their schedule left them with a full week's layover ending with three games on three consecutive nights. It can be difficult to find your skating legs after an extended break, but it wasn't evident Thursday as the Allied Windows Bruins skated out against the Chilliwack Chiefs. The Bruins played a strong game against one of the top teams in our ;ion, a team that has given us more trouble throughout the season than most. But tonight Aldergrove would keep the game much tighter. It was Chillwack's game 1-4 but we cut their goals by half those of previous games. Aldergrove's single goal came late in the second period from Ben Henthorne with a shot from the boards, assists to Scott Robinson and Mike Haber. Thank you Mr. Brian Haber for our fifteen minute third period. Friday night finds the Bruins at the Queen's Park arena to batde the New Westminster Royals, another big physical team. The Royals rely on brute strength to carry them through, as they are no match for the skating and passing skills of the Aldergrove boys when we are playing smart hockey. Tonight we played smart hockey and outplayed them throughout the game. We had far more shots on goal, but unfortunately could not get them past their goalie, and were ' frustrated more than once on our rushes and breakaways. It was a disappointing loss we had to accept, 2-4 in favor of New West. Aldergrove's two goals both came in the second period, scored by: Ben Henthorne from Scott Robinson and Mike Haber; and Mike Roberts from Josh MacKnee. Saturday night the Bruins were back at home to host Killarney. The team was looking for a win tonight and confident that they could pull it off - perhaps over confident. Or perhaps three games in as.many nights left us without the reserves we needed to carry us through, especially since several of our boys have been pushing themselves to the extreme, playing while battling colds and the flu. Saturday's game would be riddled with penalties - and that didn't help us any either. Four of the game's seven goals were scored on powerplays - including Killarney's game winning goal, scored with a single second remaining in an Aldergrove penalty. They inched past us taking the score to 3-4. Aldergrove goals were scored by: Josh MacKnee on a powerplay, assist to Mike Roberts; Mike R. also on a powerplay, assisted by Aubrey Smith; and Scott, with the assist to Ben. After a light practice Sunday night, the Allied Windows Bruins move into the playoffs with a Monday night game in Chilliwack. Thursday's home ice opponent has not yet been determined. Sunday we will be playing a team of 13 & 14 year-olds visiting from Montpellier, France. The game will be played at Twin Rinks arena in Langley at 10:15 am. Silver girls busy in playoffs Ducks get quacking ALDERGROVE - The Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks played two games this past week, including die ever-improving Hourglass Red Hawks on Feb. 7. The Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks opened scoring with Kris Armstrong scoring on a nice wrist shot with an assist to Jacob Harder. The Mighty Ducks went ahead 2-1 with a goal from Ryan Martin on several shifty moves, line mates Alex Wismer and Scott Harrington worked hard to help create the goal. The Hawks were pecking at the goal line for the puck, and one of our Ducks smothered the puck in the crease and a penalty shot was called. Taylor Anderson was ready and stood his ground only to have Hawk sniper Nick Goy put the puck over Taylor's shoulder to end the first period 2-2. The second period was well played by both teams and each team got a goal. Kris Armstrong with help from Sean Simmons and Layton Lavik scored his second goal of the game to give the Ducks a 3-2 lead. The Hawks came back to end the period Ducks 3 - Hawks 3- The third period saw more exciting action at both ends of the ice, Kris Armstrong scored his third goal of the game and the game winner to give the Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks a 4-3 victory. Other Ducks playing well offensively were Brian Jones with Kris Simpson and Matthew Kuzyk widi all three players stopped by the Hawks' goalie Jesse Woodruff. The defense led by Jacob Harder with Alan Olson, Brodie Sorenson, Jordan DeGianni and Andrew Wainwright and James McDonald each played well and kept the Hawks away from goalkeeper Taylor Anderson. Taylor made several good saves each" .period to allow the (Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks to be in the game; The Marlin Travel Mighty Ducks also played an exhibition game against the Cloverdale Black Thunder on Feb. 11. The Ducks were playing the Thunder for the third time this year with each team winning once. The game was played at Twin Rinks. The Thunder opened the scoring in the first minute and again a few minutes later for a quick 2-0 lead. Andrew Wainwright made a big save to keep the score down early. The Mighty Ducks got on the board when defenseman Brodie Sorenson moved the puck up the wing to Taylor Anderson who then fed Jacob Harder who moved in and fired a wrist shot for our first goal. The third period was fast and furious widi die Ducks Kris Armstrong scoring the tying goal with assists from Ryan Martin and Matthew Kuzyk. The Ducks kept on pressing and Ryan Martin made a great wrap around only to slide the puck under the pads of the Thunder goalie to end the game at a AA tie. The entire Ducks, team played very well and the more skilled players made several great passes to allow other team mates to get on the score sheet. Alex Wismer worked hard, and line mate Kris Simpson improves each game and just missed from the slot. Alan Olson and Brodie Sorenson played super D with Krijs Armstrong and Jordan DeGianni playing well. Layton Lavik played hard for Ducks. The goal tending of Andrew Wainwright was very good and Andrew shut the door on several Thunder scoring chances. The Marlin Travel Mighty. By Ed Bieker ALDERGROVE - With all December play suspended due to field conditions, the Aldergrove Flyers U-16 Silver girls soccer team hosted their first game of the year on Jan. 15 at the all-weather field at Betty Gilbert Elementary School. Their opponent on this Sunday was North Shore Sparta. Pay was scrambled throughout the first half with both teams feeling the effect of the six week layoff. Most of the play was confined to midfield with only one dangerous attempt by Sparta that the Flyer goalkeeper, Allison Bieker, managed to corral. Halfway through the first half, Tina Carey kicked a long high shot that eluded the Sparta keeper and found the net. Sparta opened the second half more organized than Aldergrove, penetrated the 18 yd. box and scored. The rest of the game resembled the first half with no serious attempts on goal. Final score 1-1. Jan.22, Aldergrove travelled to play Guildford Strikers in a district cup game. Cup games are soccer's equivalent to playoffs. All teams are in cup play and matches are determined by draw. Once your team loses a game, you play no more games for that cup. This year the Aldergrove Flyers play for three cups, district, inter-district and provincial B cup. Guildford Strikers carried the play throughout the game although Aldergrove's work ethic forced the Surrey team to earn every goal they scored. The score was 2-0 Guildford at the half and with a litde luck it could've been tied. Second half play was owned by the Strikers as they scored four unanswered goals. Final result Guildford 6 Aldergrove 0. The following Sunday North Shore Blue Bombers came to Aldergrove for a inter-district cup game. Fine midfield play by Aldergrove created many chances for the Flyers in the game. Blue Bombers' two outside forwards gave the Aldergrove defense problems, with swift attacks down the sidelines that usually resulted in a shot on goal. These shots combined with a lack of finish by the Flyers allowed North Shore to keep the score close. The Blue Bombers scored in die first overtime period with Angie Mallhi tying • the score before overtime play finished. In the tie- breaking shoot-out Aldergrove came up empty and North Shore finding the net. This was not a banner day for the Flyers offense as with some good fortune they would have run away with the game. Aldergrove goal scorers in regulation time were Lisa Kehler, Tina Carey and Angie Mallhi. Final score North Shore Blue Bombers 5 Aldergrove Flyers 4.

Valentine's Day marked the release of Art Bergmann's latest album, What Fresh Hell Is This? his first for the Sony label. It's the fourth solo effort from the ex- Surreyite who has fronted the Shmorgs (with now-MLA David Mitchell on bass, they did a great show here at Coghlan Hall almost 20 years ago), Young Canadians and Los Popularos. His shows have always been a riveting experience, but his reputation as a "misunderstood reprobate" make it a bit of a surprise that a monster corporation like Sony is putting so much money behind the dozen new songs from a man on the other side of 40. Sony spokespersons say they're "ecstatic... his music is great! All twelve songs from this new record show the listener why once a Bergmann fan, always a Bergmann fan.

Bergmann's black humour, distinctive lyrics and voice are filled With the energy and anger — and deadly one-liners — that have him compared to Elvis Costello and the early Who, Kinks and Rolling Stones. The current band is bassist Don Binns, drummer Adam Drake and keyboardist Dave Genn, and the record has help from Colin James and the Lowest Of The Low. The album's in stores, the first single (Contact) is already at radio and MuchMusic, and you can judge for yourself this Saturday, Feb. 18 at the Town Pump when Bergmann and band celebrate the record release with a show that's sure to subvert. Taste Of Joy and Flash Bastard open. I attended the release party for Shania Twain's new album, The Woman In Me last week at the Press Club. The Ontario born woman is an impressive personality and singer (her first name is Ojibway for I'm On My Wiy) but I was less than impressed with the album (co-written and produced by her new husband, the famed Mutt Lange). The single, Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, was sized up well by a Nashville critic who said it was a title in search of a song. Longtime concert promoter Paul Mercs has resigned from heading the Vancouver MCA Concerts office, but he's every in tention of keeping his hand in the conceit business. Rumour has it that he's got the contract for a Pearl Jam/Neil 'Young tour coming up soon (Pearl Jam's war with Ticketmaster is far from over, but apparendy the band has no problem with Canada's Ticketmaststr corporation. Ticket- master has also been backing off • a rigid service charge policy that's at centre of the controvsersy, signing special deals with the likes of Green Day). The promoters swear that the Merritt Festival is returning this summer, but how they can do it after losing half a million dollars in three days last summer, I just don't understand. If it happens, there won't be big Nashville names this summer. Perryscope Concerts plugged the plug on their involvement after two years of losses with no profit in sight. Exotica, Whale Music to hit Abby screens Plant and Page bring a sonic treat to the Coliseum, May 26. ABBOTSFORD - Exotica, the critically acclaimed film by Atom Egoyan, which swept the recent Genie Awards, winning eight, and Whale Music, the much heralded B.C. feature film, are two of six specialty movies that the Towne Cinema Centre is playing over a six week period that started February 5- Each film will play for two performances only - on Sundays at 3:30 pm and at 7 pm on Mondays.

The play is directed by SLT's Martin Shepherd, and is a dramatic thriller; guaranteed to give audiences an enjoyable evenings entertainment. It will run at Surrey Litde Theatre, 7027 - 184 Street from Feb. 23-25, Mar. 2A, 9-11 and 16- 18, curtain at 8 pm. For information and reservations call 856- 9832 or 530-3261.

Cinema manager, Trent Sales said that he has received a large number of requests to play these kinds of film. "I am always getting calls from people who want to see some different fare in our theatres instead of the Hollywood films that we usually play. And this is our way of testing to see if there is a market for specialty product". As an added incentive to attract moviegoers, everyone who sees any of the six films will be eligible to win a trip for two from Vancouver to Toronto in September (courtesy of Air Canada) to attend the opening night screening and gala party of the Toronto International Film Festival, complete with three night's accommodation at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto. Sales said, "If you are a film buff, the Toronto International Film Festival is for you; it's one of the biggest film festivals in the world, with many world premieres and many celebrities on hand". When asked why these films are only being shown twice, Sales said, "In communities the size of Abbotsford, specialized films, spread out over a seven day period, seldom do enough business to warrant bringing diem in, but by showing them once on the weekend as a matinee and once in the evening we should get enough area residents out to make it worthwhile." If diese films are successful, Landmark Cinemas of Canada, the Calgary-based company that operates the Towne Cinema Centre, will arrange for more specialized films to play. Sales said, "So now I hope that all those people who called asking for these movies come out and support them, because they really are six good films".

The library's 16-member board voted to amend its free publication policy Feb.8, after five municipal councils - Hope, Mission, Langley district, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford - earlier voted to remove Xtra! west, a free publication, from their local branches of FVRL. Lawyers had advised that a ban of Xtra! west alone would not stand up in court. "The board has arrived at a reasonable resolution that addresses the concerns people have brought to the board. I support this decision and feel it has been dealt with in an appropriate manner," said Chilliwack mayor John Les, board chair. The amendment defines commercial publications as those that contain paid advertisements or promote additional services or, products available from the publisher. Librarians will choose which publications the libraries will subscribe to for their periodical section. The board also struck a clause in its policy that allowed for local council and school board input on community standards. The decision will affect an extensive number of free publications, however it will take library staff some time to determine exactly how many publications will now be removed, said a FVRL spokesperson. FVRL provides public library service in 22 branches from Tsawwassen through to Boston Bar. The library's board of directors is appointed from member municipal councils and regional districts.

All last year my boy friend has been hinting I will get a ring for Valentine's this time. Last year he gave me a skinny teddy in red silk and I was very mad at him. we have never slept together so he has never seen me in this teddy. Do you think if I get a ring I should sleep with him and wear the outfit he bought me last year? My girlfriends say I should just to keep him happy but I don't know. I always thought it would be better to wait until I was married. We have been going together for over two years and he is still going to school but I quit last year in Grade 10. We want to work for a while to save some money but it would be nice to be together now. What do you think? Signed: Susan. Dear Susan, I'm sorry you didn't wait a week to write because we all want to know if you got your ring on \&lentine's. Gosh, we are excited for you. However, a litde growing up and maturing is what is called for right now. Discussing your sleeping habits between yourself and your girlfriends is a sign that you really haven't thought out your life yet. Take your time and don't rush into anything that you will be sorry for in the future. It takes a lot of hard work and money (and love) to share a home nowadays. Dear Annabelle, I am so sick and tired of all these newscasts that come on TV and do nothing but talk of Violence and bloodshed. When we listen and watch the news it is either breakfast, lunch or dinnertime. This past few weeks diey have been showing pictures of those disgusting young men •back east who were into that hazing thing. When I first saw it it made me sick and since the first time they keep rerunning those videos at every opportunity on the TV. Channel 8 is die worst offender and I would like to know how I can let them know how I feel about dieir programming. We are not on cablevision. Signed: Sarah. Dear Sarah, By Channel 8 I believe you mean BCTV in Burnaby; Address is P.O.Box 4600, Vancouver, B.C., V6B 4A2. Direct your questions to the News Director. Shop puts out $5,750 to community causes BY SYLVIA BAKER ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Thrift Shop held their monthly meeting on Feb. 6 at the OAP Hall. This Month's meeting was quite a squeeze to get everything in that was on the agenda. We didn't forget to make our donations for the month of February, however, and they are listed: Langley Scholarship Fund $1,500, Langley Hospital Foundation Equipment Fund $3,000, and the remaining $1,250 went to the Heart and Stroke Fund, Aldergrove Atom C Hockey Team and the Aldergrove Community School for their Gymnastic Team, for a grand total of $5,750. We are always delighted to be of service to our community but we really like to thank everyone that comes in to shop our store. Without your support and donations we would not be able to give to these various organizations each month. All the ladies that work at the shop should be able to relax a litde for the month. We put in a hard three or four days rearranging the hardware section but it has been well worth it: so many nice compliments. Once we get used to relaxing we'll have to jump up and make a dash into March., Two exciting events are coming up for us. The annual appreciation dinner will be held March 21, which is on a Tuesday. We'll be all lined up and hungry for another great meal prepared by the ladies from the Evangelical Free Church. They served us last year and it was wonderful. This is the one time each year we are able to thank all of our volunteers for their many hours of hard work as well as meet new people and get acquainted again with those that have been with us throughout the history of the shop. Mark your calendar and be there prompdy at 5 pm. We'll be viewing the video of last year's fashion show after the dinner. Guests are invited too so make your arrangements ahead of time.. Our next event will be fast on the heels of the dinner. On March 25 we will hold our second annual Bag Lady Fashion Show. Already some of the models are coming in to pick out their outfits. This is open to the public and will be held at the Aldergrove Mall. We had great fun last year. This will come right before Easter for all of you thrifty shoppers. Last year, several children appeared in our presentation; they stole the show so we are putting out the call to parents, that if you are interested in having your child, age four and up, part of our show, please talk to one of the ladies of the Aldergrove Thrift Shop or give us a call, 856-5292. We really would like to have a few teenagers join us this time. We do have jeans, jean jackets, and if you look real hard we could come up with a few oversize shirts and pants. Come in and see. Today is one of those beautiful warm spring days. No telling what tomorrow will be like but we have given some thought to re-opening our hardware section on Saturdays. We've had so many customers come in only to be disappointed when confronted with closed doors. We're working on it. Look for limited hours to begin with and we'll announce our plans in our next newsletter. As always we love getting your yard sale, church sale, rummage sale, basement cleanup, moving sale items, not to mention all those things the kids outgrew during the winter. I noticed we are getting quite a bit of draperies so someone out there is housedeaning for an early spring. Small appliances in good working order, electronics, tools, litde pieces of furniture (no big items please) are always needed. Your castoffs only mean some child may be able to go on a field trip, or another piece of equipment is on its way to being purchased for a hospital, or the elder care centres are able to assist someone in need. Please feel free to come in and review our "Donation's for 1994" list; it is posted in both shops at the register along with thank you letters from our many recipients. ——T!T —— SBaassm fl THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY 15,1995 15 1 SENIORS' NEWS Telethon brings out heart By MAUDIE MACPHERSON ALDERGROVE - This weekend the variety dub Telethon broke all records widi the sum of over five million pouring in from all over the province.

Every year in the dying minutes of the finale a young man amazes us with his poem. This year he dedicated it to his sister's child who died recendy. His message was to have us look at handicapped people, as people, for what they are and what they contribute to this life, not to look at them as disabled or handicapped, to look into their hearts and think of them as useful human beings. He, himself has done much to overcome his own disabilities. All in all the telethon was a big success.

FEBRUARY 15.1995 YOUR VOICE Where should we cut first? By CARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK Just like the Canadian singer Gino Vannelli croons, "We're in the pink, baby, just two trillion in the red." Ok, so now that we recognize the problem, where do we go from here? Where do you recommend that government cut spending in order to reduce our deficit? Lori Markstein and Chelsi, 5: I recommend they cut their {-tension plan and this business about only serving six years before getting a full pension, I mean, where else can that happen? It's a bit ridiculous. That is the number one recommendation, pensions, (we could save) millions of dollars, millions of dollars with that. They're supposed to be representing us, the people, but, in fact, what it seems to me, is that they get into office so that they can line their own pockets. It's a real passionate issue with me. Ted Nordstorm: Start at the top with the politicians and start cutting their salaries! Glen Colliar: Defense, foreign aid and politicians' pensions are too high.

But it's, also an innovative, and recently renovated, educational centre experimenting with a new type of secondary education - one that combines academic high school studies with college-level career or technical training. , .The Career Technical Centre is a joint project of the Abbotsford School District and U. the University College of the Fraser Valley. Its youngest students are 16, but they're already enrolled at UCFV through a special arrangement. Students enrol at CTC at the Grade 11 level, spend two and half years enrolled In a specialized career or technical program, and graduate having fulfilled the requirements for both high school graduation and a college-level one-year certificate. CTC director George Peary, staff, and students will be holding an open house on 'wed. Feb. 22, from noon to 8 pm. They will offer guided tours, demonstrations of special equipment, coffee and cookies, and informational brochures about CTC programs. Members of the public are invited to talk to current students and their parents, and CTC instructors. The CTC is located at 2272 Windsor Street. Programs currendy offered at the Career Technical Centre are Office Careers, Dental Assisting, Carpentry, Computer Information Systems, and Electronics. Programs in Electrical (pre-apprenticeship) and Drafting are scheduled to start this September. Peary hopes to attract 150 more students into CTC programs for September. About 85 are enrolled in this inaugural year. "Our operating capacity is around 400 students, so bringing in 150 a year would be great," says Peary. CTC runs on a quarter system. The 85 students enrolled in its inaugural year have just completed two quarters of high school courses (two cours«es per quarter). Last week, they started their college programs. They'll take one college course per quarter, combined with one high school course (except for Carpentry, which will concentrate all its specialized courses in the final quarter this year). By giving up traditional electives in their final two years of high school, CTC students get a head start on their post- secondary education. "They do forsake some things, such as athletic teams, cheerleaders, and home economises courses, but in return they get early entry into good, solid programs, a year of tuition-free college studies, and admittance to UCFV while still in Gold fever! FORT LANGLEY - Experience the excitement of the Gold Rush of 1858. The Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre and tlie Fort Langley National Historic Site have partnered together to offer Gold Fever. Kids 8-12 years old will "pan for gold" on Saturday, Feb. 18 at 10 a.m. The cost is $12. Register by phoning the Langley Museum at 888-3922. Be sure to wear miner's clothes which can get dirty. Imagine what gold fever must have been like in Fort Langley in 1858. Through a costumed interpreter Fort Langley National Historic Site will become the authentic setting to experience what a gold panner was doing and feeling. Grade 11," says Peary. Peary says that the main challenge facing CTC is to ensure that the students are getting a high-quality college education. "We have to make sure that when the students finish at the age of 19, they're just as qualified as students finishing an equivalent college program." Michelle Charuk and Ryan Elechko, both 16, are two of CTCs first students. They're enrolled in the Electronics program. "When I get out of high school I want to be able to start a career, not just be a gas jockey or flip burger," said Elechko, explaining his reasons for choosing CTC. Most students currently enrolled at CTC are from the Abbotsford School District, with a few from Mission, Langley and Yanow, and others who are returning to school after leaving for a while. Students from other districts are welcome to apply to CTC.

FEBRUARY 15,1995 FROM A PLACE BETWEEN' Remembering Aldergrove 1913 By Don Eve Additional material: Tom Miller, The British Columbian The Old Yale Road' through. Aldergrove was all gravel, narrow and winding with a hill over the rail track. The Royal Engineers had made it around die large stumps. There was a large bridge at the east end of town where the shinglemill was dammed up for a mill pond. The mill was built in 1910 and dismantled in 1919. As you come into Aldergrove from Vmcouver, die first place on the north side of Yale Road was a small candy store (Hagberg's) across from what is now Quiring Motors. The Hagsberg family operated the confectionery shop until about 1934 or 1935 when tlie Uiey moved away and sold tlie property to Uie Watsons who ran a poultry farm until they sold the property to the Tibbetts family who built die Rose Garden Motel. From die Hagbergs to die comer of Jackman Road was a horse watering trough. East of Jackman along Fraser Highway was tlie general store and post office, and three houses close together. The store had a green box on casters which was rolled out and filled with bread when die bread man came. When die box was in die store, it was used for a seat by people waiting for mail to be sorted. The Smidi & Parr store burned down in 1916 in a spectacular fire which sent sparks and burning embers west across the road to die store next to die garage. The people worked hard with buckets of water, but did not succeed in stopping the fire, especially widi shotgun shells continually going off as they worked. The post office dien moved east to the diird house on the nortli side of Yale Road. On die soudi side of Yale Road, west of die mill and pond, was Williams' Blacksmith Shop, Nascou's Feed Store, and diree prefab houses bolted together next to die hotel at Jackman Road. Inside die blacksmith shop it was very hot, with die forge and die hot iron. An old man, who lived in a shack behind, worked in die shop turning die handle on the forge blower and telling stories about early times. Anodier old bachelor lived in a shack on the site of die present Countryside Mall east of die mill and pond. He bilked his own bread and always entered it in the Aldergrove Fair, but one time when entered white bread, somehow things got mixed up and die judge gave him a prize for brown bread. When die mill was dismanded in 1919, die buildings were sold. My dad bought die dry kiln and one small building, but the cement blocks were there until the land was levelled for a cow pasture about 1928. The spur railway came from die stadon to die mill, crossing over Bertrand Creek on a tresde. Around 28A Avenue, a pile of dirt and ties was at the end of the track to stop the box cars. The mill workers were mostly Chinese who dug a "deep" hole for washing in die creek. West of Jackman on the south side of Yale road was die telephone office, old bank, butcher shop, store, and Opera House which later was Hamre Garage. Tlie first Aldergrove Fairs were held in the hall above die garage. West from diere were two farms, Dodds and Soderboms, and then die Aldergrove Elementary School. The Dodds family were well known socially and held many parties on dieir front lawn. Mr. ■ Dodds was .die architect who .designed the Aldergrove Agricultural Hall and James Houston's house' on 260th. The Soderboms sold milk and cream which was picked up at the farm in golden syrup pails and later was delivered around town in glass bottles. Copies of the Alder Grove Heritage Society book, A Place Between, are available at Laurel's Place, Book Shop/Music Stop, WUway Lumber and D. Taylor Insura«"".e.

'Deceived,' says Stephens VICTORIA - A confidential government communications strategy " reveals the NDP's deliberate intention to-mislead school boards on the reasons why diere's a delay in announcing dieir funding levels for the next school year," B.C. Liberal education critic Lynn Stephens charged Monday. The document says that the reason for the delay "is that Treasury Board has been unable to make a final decision about the education budget allotment." But the communications strategy argues that if it's necessary to say anything publicly then the "uncertainty of the national funding picture" should be used as the excuse. Funding levels were to be announced February 1. ' "Pinocchio 'would be embarrassed to be a part of the Harcourt government," Bingo scandal not dead yet VICTORIA - MLA Mike de Jong said that documents released by the B.C. Liberal Opposition "clearly show that money raised by the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society Charities went direcdy to the Vancouver East NDP Association in 1979" .■ "This latest revelation about die NDP's Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society corrupt practices demonstrates that not only did Dave Stupich know what the NCHS was doing, but Dave Barrett, the leader of the New Democratic Party and the dien MLA for Vancouver East, was involved in the NCHS scandal," said de Jong. In a letter written to NCHS Charities in 1980, the chief licensing officer of the B.C. Lotteries Branch states that $292.25 in lottery-generated funds were donated to the Vancouver East NDP A ssociation- Members hip Services. The letter warns that this donation was in clear violation of the B.C. Lottery regulations. In defense of NCHS Charities' regulatory breach Dave Stupich writes, "I trust that this particular indiscretion will be overlooked on your part in the expectation that future acdvities will be more properly handled". "This new information demonstrates that the NDP were inappropriately involved with and profited from the activities of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society from its inception," said de Jong. In addition, de Jong has called on NDP provincial secretary Brian Gardiner to "come clean and release the results of the internal audit of the party that he promised to make public four months ago but continues to withhold."

For Trinity Western University, which has 700 computerized photos of all 20,000 fragments of the 700 papyrus documents, it has created excitement and the establishment of the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute. TWU's head of the graduate program in religious studies, Craig Evans created the institute, the first of its type on this continent, and he will be bringing two more scholars, Martin Abegg and Peter Flint, to help with continuing study of the scrolls, written in ancient Aramaic. Evans studied the scrolls and received his PhD from Claremont Graduate School in California, where Bible scholar James Robinson had a key role in releasing copies of the scrolls to the world recently. For many years before that, other scholars and the Israeli government had tried to keep the documents from public view. There has been an ongoing debate over whether the scrolls, which were written in the time of Jesus Christ and which contain the oldest existing portions of the Hebrew Bible, substantiate or repudiate orthodox Christian faith. For Evans, the scrolls clearly support the view that beliefs about the messianic role Jesus was to play in overcoming death were part of first-century Judaism. Others believe this was added later by Greco-Roman church leaders. Evans said the institute plans to hold at least two annual conferences with leading scholars, to promote research, publication and awareness of the scrolls. Public invited to church social Stanley Sadgrove's "Student Model" is in the show at Vineyard Gallery. ALDERGROVE - The United Church invites the public to join them for a pancake and pot luck supper on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 5=30 pm.

Cards and games and a social Art in process at Vineyard LANGLEY - "Art in Process" is an exhibition of student paintings and sketches from Trinity Western University, opening at the Langley Vineyard Gallery from noon to five on Saturday, February 18. "Art is very important to the church", says Trinity Western University art department coordinator Stephen Williams. "I feel that our society is in danger of controlling God's image through our overdependence on spoken and written words. God is a living being who used words, but is so much more than we can ever hope to understand through words. He was actually limiting himself by bringing us the Bible. Don't misunderstand me, we do need, the Bible to guide our lives, but we also need to get in touch with parts of ourselves that go beyond words. Art can help us do that." Linda Robinson calls her painting of the brilliance of a canola field against a beautiful blue sky "A tribute" to God's infinite vastness. Malin Lindgren, one of William's students, said that she didn't realise how multi-layered her personality was until she began painting. "The empty space of my canvas Was my dstsert where the Lord and I painstakingly carved out the tangible process of healing through the spiritual language of colour and movement", said Tamara Pukas. capable of manipulating ethics." Stephanie Foxwell uses the flint-faced Indian in "What Happened to myj_and?" to raise the question: Have we brought destruction into their lives?, or made a positive difference? Others have used their artwork to explore the physical form of the human body. The Vineyard exhibition is a juried show, with artwork taken from first, second, third and fourth year art students at Trinity. "Our goal is to show the public die visual, mental and spiritual growth of Trinity's art students", says Williams. The show will continue until March 24. Stephen Williams is a department co-ordinator at Trinity Western Some have used their artwork to explore social issues. David Prinsen's pencil drawing of rows of tree stumps seems like a staggering comment on British Columbia's logging practises. Natasha Boone describes her depiction of the interplay between an apple and an electrical cord as the impatient silence that precedes a chaotic occurrence. "I view present technology to be potentially just as coercive and deceiving as the serpent in the garden of Eden.

WS$P?Hard w°rk Tlie time demands of balancing a career, home and family leave litde or no time for women to devote to money matters. Surprisingly, however, many of these women do not know much about personal investment planning, often leaving financial decisions to their spouses. The harsh reality is that whether you're single or married, women remain at a disadvantage when it comes to looking after their own financial future. However, there are a number of important issues that are of particular concern to women. Here are some hard-hitting facts about some of these issues. • Women tend to live approximately six years longer than men. So even married women should be prepared to be on their own for some time during their retirement years. • Generally, women earn less. On .average, women make less Uian 70 cents for every dollar a man makes. What this means is that women live longer on less money. • Having children often reduces a woman's earnings and retirement savings. That is, if a woman chooses to take one year off to have a child, her ability to contribute to an RRSP may be delayed because of a lack of earned income. Absence from Uie workforce may even affect her private pension plan. However, the $8,000 overcontribution is applicable; but it cannot be used as a tax deduction. • Often Uie responsibility for the care of children and elderly parents falls to women. It is clear that Uie onus is on every woman to look after her financial future. Even with time constraints, women should make an effort to understand, or be aware of, Uie fundamentals of proper investment planning. The result of doing so can mean a financially secure future. Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when considering your finances: • Have a portion of your cash liquid. Professional Financial Advisors recommend that everyone should have a readily accessible emergency fund equal to three months' salary. This is especially important for women because of the potential for sudden death or separation from a spouse. • Don't wait to learn about finances. Often women wait until a disaster strikes before they are motivated into investment planning. By learning about your financial situation today, you will be prepared to take over and control your finances in the future. • Have an investment plan separate from your spouse's. While spouses should coordinate their finances, women should have separate investment plans, bank accounts and RRSPs because of the potential for divorce or death of a spouse. Assets are usually tied up or frozen in accounts pending court settlement due to death or divorce proceedings. * Women should consider more aggressive investments, in accordance with their own risk tolerance, such as mutual funds because of the mere fact they live longer, and have to make their money work harder. It is hardly surprising that women have shied away from making investment decisions they perceived to be risky.. The irony is that women need the growth potential of equities. Historically, far more women than men have spent their later years in poverty, especially after divorce or the death of a spouse, jeopardizing both their dreams for the future and their financial security. If you are actively involved in your family's finances, you're ahead, in the financial game. If you're not, we urge you to take the time today to become more aware.

The government continued to describe an institution that would supply university undergraduate "applied degrees" and that eventually would also provide graduate degrees and research for industry. (Over 25% of all research and development in Canada takes place in universities, compared with 15% in other OECD countries.) Those with vision could imagine an MIT or a CalTech emerging from this university, planned to open its doors as eariy as 1999- The work of the Fraser Valley University Society and its 1,200. members includes over 300 presentations made to school boards, parent advisory councils, Chambers of Commerce and community service organizations. Tlie society has accumulated 9,000 petition signatures. The financial support of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board along with their donations of office facilities, and B.C. Hydro for their donation of office furniture made this work possible. The work of the Fraser Valley University Society has produced results, but is far from finished. The society will remain to assure that the allocated funds are directed towards the university as intended, and that Uie vision does become a reality. Treaties again on the table LANGLEY - Treaty negotiations in B.C. are the topic of Uie Feb. 21 Chamber of Commerce dinner meeting, featuring speakers Squamish chief Joe Mathias of Uie First Nations Summit and chief federal negotiator Robin Dodson of the B.C. south team. The summit is working wiUi federal and provincial governments to setUe outstanding land and resource use issues under an agreed process. Negotiated treaties will spell out the rights, responsibilities and relationships of the parties, and Uie proces is likely to deal with far-reaching is sues such as land ownership, self-government, wildlife and environmental management, sharing, resources, financial benefits and taxation. The public is welcome to hear Mathias and Dodson and to speak direcUy with both men. Reservations are required with, the chamber, call 530-6656, and the cost is $20 member or $25 non-member.

When they approached Jesus to arrest Him, Peter, a disciple of Jesus, and a very emotional person, pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of one of the servants of the high priest. Jesus immediately rebuked Peter and said to him: "Put up your sword, all who take the sword will perish by the sword." In other words, violence begets violence. We have seen this again in the killing of two abortion workers in the Hillcrest - Clinic in Brookline, Mass., U.S.A., on January 1, 1995. Every protest movement has emotionally unstable people in its midst. This is the case with John Salvi, the 22 year old who killed tlie abortion clinic workers in Brookline, Mass. This is also tlie case in "Vellowknife gold mine strike in the Yukon Temtories. Here we see a highly emotional and unstable person, Roger Wirren, on September 18, 1992, admitting to police that he had rigged up a bomb device on the tracks in the Giant Yellowknife goldmine that killed nine of his fellow-workers. He confessed to tlie killings, and then later in his trial attempted to deny that he was responsible. On January 20, 1995 he was found guilty by a jury in Yellowknife. The Boston tragedy is no different than the Yellowknife tragedy. Two emotionally, unstable people who could not control their emotions, went to the extreme of taking the law into their own hands. John Salvi, frustrated with what he perceived to be an act of violence against human life, saw fit to take a gun and kill two people. Roger Warren, frustrated with negotiations between the management and tlie union, rigged a trip-wire device across the tracks attached to a bomb, deep down into the mine, that exploded and killed nine miners travelling in a rail-car to their work place. However, the major media treats these two tragedies differ- endy. In a headline story in a major newspaper in B.C. January 2, 1994, covering the Boston murders, we have the account of the abortion killer John Salvi, being labelled as a "goofball", an "oddball" and portrayed as a very emotional, unstable person. Which, no doubt he is! But, compare the stories written about Roger Warren after the September 18, 1992 bombing, with those written today about Salvi in our local newspapers. Undoubtedly, Roger Warren is also a very emotionally, unstable individual; however, the difference is that Warren is a member of a powerful union. The media loses its courage when confronted with violence caused by union members as we have seen To hearing ALDERGROVE - An outdated land use contract on industrial land at 3180 - 262 Street will proceed to public hearing before the township discharges the contract in favour of more recent zoning amendments to the area. The bylaw will allow the presently- vacant 1.32 acres to be included in the general industrial zone M- 2, consistent with surrounding properties.- ' " *i$jg?' 11 over and over again in labor disputes in this province. To my knowledge, stories written about Warren in the major media since his anest, have never referred to him as being an emotional, unstable "goofball" or "oddball". Which no doubt he also is! ■-.;■ The purpose of this kind of reporting by the major media is, of course, to portray prolife people as a bunch of emotionally, unstable kooks and goofballs, who cannot control themselves when they are picketing abortion clinics. However, anyone who has stood in a prolife picket line knows that the pro-abortion camp has more than their share of emotional and violent people in their midst. Prolife people believe that the slaughter of innocent children in the nation's abortion clinics and hospitals is one of the most violent acts one human being can perpetrate against another human being, and they also believe that it is an insult to the conscience of our nation. However, 99 and 44 on hundred per cent of prolife people are non-violent and do not support violence as a method of attaining their goal of stopping abortions. Violence only begets violence! Prolife people do not need to use violence to influence people against abortion - diey have logic and truth on their side! If the violence committed in abortion clinics and hospitals continues, dien we can expect that emotionally, unstable people will continue to take the law into their own hands and meet violence with violence. As Jesus warned Peter: they who tajce up the sword will perish by the sword! GERALD H. HALL Surrey Citizens forum looks at safety ABBOTSFORD - This city is among the fastest growing municipalities in all of Canada. The population has almost tripled in the last 25 years and continues to grow at the rate of 3,500-5,000 people every year. With increased population comes increased concerns about safety issues.

LANGLEY - Township councilor Muriel Arnason says it's time for the community to discuss their views on the province's intent to expand electronic gambling. She served notice this week of her desire to see public meetings and delegations to council, including some from the province's government services ministry to explain the government's proposed policy. A Feb. 2 letter to the mayor from minister Robin Blencoe requested local input "as we implement the moderate expansion and policy changes we outlined last year." While the Premier has rejected Las Vegas style casinos, "introducing legal video lottery games will assist the provincial government in eliminating illegal gaming machines." The lifting of a moratorium on new charitable casinos and expansion of electronic bingo are to be joined by "limited introduction" of video lottery terminals. The government estimates exis- Glen Valley park hosts open house ABBOTSFORD - The GVRD will host an open house this month to display concept plans for development of Glen Valley Regional Park, and to hear response from the public. It will be held Tuesday, Feb. 28, 6:30 to 9 p.m. in Jubilee Hall, 8000 Bradner Road at Marsh McCormick Road. Concept plans for Two-Bit Bar and Poplar Bar were created widi input from the Glen valley Regional Park Task Force established last year. Its members include representatives from the community, Glen \alley Dyking Commission, Langley and Abbotsford police, Central Valley Naturalists, the GVRD and others interested in recreation. Glen Valley Regional Park, owned and operated by the GVRD, is situated north of the CNR mainline and primarily on the river side of River Road. Eventually it may extend 6.5 kilometres west into Langley to the mouth of NaUian Creek. Arson not related to other fires ABBOTSFORD - Police are treating an early morning fire, Feb. 13 at the Matsqui First Nations Reserve, as suspected arson, and the Arson Task Force was initially called in to investigate. There was suspicion of a connection to a series of arsons in Abbotsford over the past year, primarily involving unoccupied buildings, but it appears to be unrelated. Police and fire officials attended the blaze at 2:20 a.m., at 31747 Harris Road. The fire started in a shed adjacent to a house, and spread to die two-storey house and a vehicle parked nearby. .Police and fire officials called in the provincial Fire Commissioners office later that day to collect evidence and determine cause of the fire. On Tuesday, Sgt. George Leukefeld said, "It is now believed that the fire was caused by arson, (however) based on information received by residents in the vicinity of the fire, we now believe that this fire is not connected to the fires currently being investigated by the Arson Task Force." Investigation is continuing under the general investigation section of, the police department here. tence of 10,000 illegal machines, which they would like to replace with up to 5,000 legal machines in adult-only facilities such as bars and casinos, all to be owned and monitored by B.C. Lottery Corporation. Arnason said, "An increase in gambling could have an adverse effect on the business community and the citizens of the township." She said the township should hold public meetings and "it may be imperative that the township's views be firmly expressed." Councilors will debate the motion at their next meeting. LANGLEY - It appears that an amicable resolution has been found teUhe controversy over the former Smith Mobile Home Park Robber gets 14 ALDERGROVE - The armed robbery of Aldergrove Credit Union last year has netted Lyle Wilfred O'Sullivan a 14 year sen^ tence from provincial court this week. O'Sullivan held up the credit union siaff and patrons with a shotgun and led police on a wild chase before his pickup truck was slammed by an RCMP cruiser and forced off Fraser Highway. on 200 Street. At Monday's development permit hearing, Carvolth Housing Corporation ouUined a major redevelopment of the park, to be known as Forest Grove Estates, that has won wide support from its tenants. Angry tenants had complained to council in 1993 that plans by owners to close the park in favour of redevelopment to industry left them no place to move their homes. Council reacted to the storm by rezoning the property to residential mobile home park use, as it is "an appropriate interim land use within the designated industrial growth area." Owners have come up with a generous and attractive plan for "ffie park, which will also increase the number of mobile home pads from 81 to 145, all double-wides. Minor concessions were requested from the township, and in return the owners would connert to the municipal water and sewer service, move the entrance from 200 Street to 198th, and provide five acres parkland, a clubhouse, and completion of the municipal trail system on their land. Redevelopment would-also bring $800,000 in development cost charges revenues to the township. Councilors expressed surprise and pleasure at tenants' acceptance of the plans. "We're glad to see that chapter behind us," \ ^-—-
