MANUFACTURERS' OIJTI FTO MAI I Mega-stores proposed for Gloucester By KURT LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - A marketing concept that's swept the U.S. may find its first home in this region at Gloucester Industrial Park. Sky Business Development Corporation of Surrey has applied to the township for 18.68 acres of manufacturers' outlet stores at the southwest corner of die industrial park, next to the 264 Street freeway exit The area is currently vacant and zoned service commercial Zone C-3, and the township has recommended site specific zoning for the development, to be known as Pacific Gateway OuUet Mall. About 175,000 square feet of commercial floorspace is proposed, in several buildings and with 1,000 parking spaces. The outlets would sell "discounted, overstocked material from national brand retailers seeking a regional market." Part of the proposal includes a service station, convenience store, tourist information centre and restaurant. Applicants propose construction in two phases, beginning with the area adjacent to 264 Street and 56 Avenue, then proceeding southeast along Gloucester Way. The proposal requires an amendment to the Gloucester development concept plan because it currently allows only "vehicle ser- *$jce, cafe, restaurant, limited personal service and hotel" uses. While there are no similar manufacturers' outlet malls in the region, there are two nearby along the 1-5 in Washington, Pacific Edge Outlet Mall and Peace Arch Outlet Mall. Township consultants, Coriolis Consulting, said "the proposed Gloucester site is probably the only potential location in the township offering the combination of high accessibility ahd exposure, regional centrality and distance from existing major retailers." The application is lunged on an independent study on its potential impact on local business and traffic, but Coriolis's report said the proposal should be a net benefit to the area as a whole, as it would draw customers from as far away as Vancouver and the Interior who would otherwise travel to the U.S. outlets. "The project is likely to provide employment, property tax revenues, business tax revenues and some spinoff potential" from the "imported sales." It would also "enhance the attractiveness of the industrial park." The majority of council expressed excitement at what coun. Mel Kositsky called a "first in western Canada... a great benefit." However, couns. Trudi Campen and Steve Burton said they worried it might "compete with downtown merchants." "I will not support it," said Burton. "There's no benefits, only detriments. It will have a negative impact on exisung retailers." Campen said she'd support it if there were provisions that it could not be converted into another retail mall should the manufacturers' outlet concept fail. Kositsky later told The Star that he couldn't understand Campen's and Burton's reasoning: "If it doesn't work as it's proposed it certainly couldn't be profitable as a retail mall like Aldergrove Mall or Langley Mall." Coun. Steve Ferguson said it was an "experiment in paving new ground. It's not strip mallsv" Coun. Muriel Arnason appeared lost in a time warp, calling it "ALR land ...services (water and sewers) must be provided." Mayor John Scholtens reminded her that it's been exempted from the ALR for almost 20 years and Gloucester has installed the servicing. Burton and Arnason were the sole votes against proceeding with rezoning, pending the consultants' reports On traffic and commercial impacts. Consultants will be chosen by the township, but the cost will be borne by Sky Business Development Corporation.

Thieve! ruin town spirit ALDERGROVE - Thievewe, making efforts to beautify the town a frustrating experience for local businesses. Terracotta pots and hanging baskets of luscious geraniums and the like had barely been planted a week ago in front of McGinnis Photo and Re/Max Alder Centre Realty, when someone trucked off the lot on the weekend. The owners are appealing for anyone who might have seen the thieves at work at the Fraser Highway businesses, either Saturday or Sunday night, to leave tips with the local RCMP office. "It's so disheartening," said John McGinnis. "It cost over $300 and it's gone before you turn your head." He added that some have suggested it was a school graduation prank but he doubts that theory. "I think they're sitting in someone's backyard, nothing more complex than that." FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE Some opposition to growth plans ALDERGROVE - More than 400 local residents filed into the Elks hall here last night to hear municipal officials outline the plans for a growing Aldergrove at a public hearing. The township is preparing a submission to the provincial Land Commission asking for the removal of 505 acres from the agricultural reserve in order to make the town a "more rounded community." Most of the opposition to the plan came from people who own property adjacent to a proposed ringroad north of the urban core. The Aldergrove STAR Illegitimus non carborundum VOL37 N0.23 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7,1995 40 CENTS Established 1957 3089-272nd Street Fax:856-5212 Phone:856-8303 Business, US style By RUDY LANGMANN When Brian Mulroney announced the introduction of the new tax on goods and services and the drafting of the free trade agreement with the U.S. back in '89, he started a southward bound migration of Canadian business. On January 1, 1991 the GST came into effect People hated it from the start, and in order to avoid this new tax grab consumers drove south of the49th parallel to do their shopping. The Canadian dollar was on a high and family budgets profited from the cheap American prices. But best of all, for. many people, they avoided the despised new tax. Shopping malls sprang up in border towns on American soil. Many Canadians opened retail businesses in malls such as Bellingham's Bellis Fair, selling American goods to their countrymen on a buying spree. Cross-border shopping became a bad word of the early ' nineties. Even the Mulroney Conservatives began to shudder. But by and by the Canadian dollar began to drop and the shopping trips south became less and less frequent. Canadian retailers who had suffered greatly during the period when the shoppers stayed away began to stock their shelves once more. Those who had managed to stay alive still had to entice their clientele by offering 'no GST' sales. No GST? Right Merchants paying the tax. Sure. At least the cash registers started ringing again. Now was the time for the business people in the American malls to pack up tents. The parking lot at Bellis Fair, where it a couple of years earlier had been impossible to find a place to leave your car, now all of a sudden looked deserted. A few American license plates could be seen, but gone were the thousands of British Columbian cars. Canadians resigned themselves to paying the value added tax with almost every purchase they made. The government in Ottawa tried to sweeten the pill by appealing to Canadian nationalism. The monies collected as GST would be used to bringdown the national deficit. Right. We all know what happened to the good intentions. The Americans, realizing that Mohammed no longer would be coming to the mountain, knew that time was now ripe to start selling to Canadians on their own soil. Big warehouse sales Outlets headquartered in the U.S., such as WalMart and Costco, sprang up in urban and suburban Canadian centres. Of course they charged customer's the GST and the company profits went south of the border. Meanwhile, almost unnoticed, many small Canadian entrepreneurs had moved their businesses to the U.S. and they seemed to prosper. Inventors, manufacturers and warehouse outlets were attracted to the American way of life by promises not only of much lower corporate, personal and property taxes, but also by the friendly attitude of the Yanks who continue to send sales teams north to recruit them. This migration is escalating. In neighboring Whatcom County alone, almost 100 Canadian businesses are doing very well today. They employ some 3,500 American workers or about five percent of the total labor force of the county. In King County (Seattle) and in the Spokane area even more Canadian businesses can be found, and the situation is pretty much the same right across the continent. What do they think, these Canadian emigrees? "I thank the Canadian government," says Ron Deans. "The success I have achieved here (in the U.S.) I never could have achieved in.Canada." Ron's manufacturing company has been located in Blaine since the early 1980's, and today he employs more than 90 workers. "The Americans know what business is all about," he adds. This sentiment is repeated over and over by other British Columbian entrepreneurial emigrees who have fled Canada because of the high cost of doing business in this country coupled with what they term "restrictive government attitudes." We will be talking to more of these people in the weeks to come. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 NEWS? CLASSIFIED? SUBSCRIPTION? CALL 856-8303 FAX 856-5212 1 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 7.1995 m^mm> Office complex to hearing ALDERGROVE - A two- storey office building has been proposed for a property at 26641 Eraser Highway that oldtimers here may remember as the former site of Nachbar's florist shop and home. The property is currendy used as a family home, nestled between the Legion and A&Y Groceries. Applicant Dan Flokstra has requested C-14 zoning, limiting use to offices, professional buildings and accessory buildings. Current C-3 zoning allows only commercial uses. The brick and stucco building would have 4,052 square feet on each floor and a bronze metal roof. Coun. Heather McMullan questioned the appropriateness of such a use at that site, but township planner Kurt Alberts he saw "more potential problems" with the current zoning than with what the owners have requested. Coun. Mel Kositsky pointed out that the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee had been consulted by the owners, had made suggestions which were accepted by the owners and had then given their endorsement to it The rezoning was given unanimous first and second reading and will now proceed to public hearing. Flokstra told The Star that he already has commitments from tenants for the entire building. And the "ice war" is over! LANGLEY - City residents will not be exempted from registering at township recreation programs or pay higher user fees, after all. Mayor John Scholtens said at Monday's township council meeting that.the city council has come up with $73,000 for their share of ice facilities operations this year, and a township policy of granting its residents priority "will not be implemented in 1996." The "ice war" was sparked last year when city council announced their intention to withdraw from funding a 22 percent share of the Civic Centre operations, effective this past January. City council had reasoned that the opening of the private Twin Rinks meant they were better to directly fund ice sports with grants to minor ice clubs. Township council almost went ballistic with fury, because city residents use all township public facilities but their council only shares in funding operations of the Blair Rec Centre pool. While the problem "is solved for this year" Scholtens said "a better solution to services funding without arguing" would have to be found by next year. "This has taken a lot of time." Act could be unconstitutional VICTORIA - The NDP's Election Act is clearly unbalanced and could be unconstitutional, B.C. Liberal house leader Gary Farrell-Collins said, June 1. "This bill is unfairly lax in areas that'could be seen to benefit the NDP and the labour movement while'it is incredibly restrictive in areas where the NDP government feel they are vulnerable," said Farrell-Collins. "It is a bill that was written by labour for labour to benefit the NDP. "I am astounded that Mr. Gabelmann and the NDP would try to muzzle the freedom of the press and the right of third parties to express their views during a provincial election campaign. B.C. voters do not need Mr. Gabelmann and the NDP to make decisions for them," said Farrell- Collins. "I question whether this bill will hold up to a constitutional challenge, given that a similar attempt to limit freedoms was struck down by the courts in' Alberta." He also said that the NDP refused to require full disclosure of paid workers who donate their services to a political campaign. This will allow the NDP to secretly continue to use paid union organizers in their campaigns. 'This Elections Act is designed to assist the NDP and their supporters in the next election at the expense of legitimate reforms to protect the voters and die fundamental rights of all British Columbians." / mile south of the Lynden border Open 8 am-7:30pm Monday thru Saturday Limit 30B> offer expires 6/17/95* JuneSpecml Franz Bakery bread* 79« 2 loaves for sour cream 1/2 pint 55< pint 954 5 ib $3.75 fruit drinks y5r t gallon orange, fruit punch, grape ■ •' ■ ■ Prices good thru June 17, 1995 gallon milk whole $1.99 2% $1.84 i% $1.79 skim $1.79 Canadian exchange rate 25% butter Print 991 lb Cubed $1.1 5 Ul 5# Block $4.85 |||| © Copyright \W Edaleen Oaky. AH Rights Reserved •NOT IN MY BACKYARD' Trails still hot issue LANGLEY - Public trails continue to be a hot issue throughout the township. It seems that everyone is in favour of the idea in principle, but once it's proposed for a neighbourhood's backyard the residents there mobilize for petitions against them. Councillors heard more delegates Monday, for and against trails at 212 Street and Maysfield, and a horse trail on 250 Street to South Otter Park. The former trail was approved despite a lengthy list of objections, while the latter was defeated on the issue of pub- lic safety. However, councillor pointed out that other options for a South Otter horse trail will be pursued, as a resident there has volunteered a ten-foot easement through his land along 252 Street for local riders. Neither 250 nor 252 Street are through-streets, because of the steep hill there. The proposed Maysfield trail is only a 200-yard long section on a hillside, but council agreed that there would be negligible impact on the environment Resident Grant Raeburn had argued that trees would be removed, and erosion would damage the marshy area and Murray Creek. Proponents for a 250 Street trail said a switchback could be cut into a steep incline, but councillor agreed with residents that the section was too steep on both environmental and safety grounds. Horse owners said they Would commit about $10,000 to an estimated $20,000 cost, but a trail along 252 Street would involve at least one bridge at a cost of about $30,000. However, the 252 Street route is a much more gradual slope and there is no resident opposition to it. Riders have complained that vehicle traffic along 248 Street moves too quickly for their safety and they are seeking a more pastoral access along municipal easements to the park's popular riding facilities. _.tA_J_t_M * . ■> ■! •* t_3L) 1 _ !^H THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 7,1995 Groundwater protection in new bylaw- Crematorium bylaw amended By MONIQUE GALAZKA ABBOTSFORD - Council has passed several staff recommendations to protect area groundwater from becoming polluted. It has been determined by staff i'hat several contaminate sources are contributing to the degradation of the unprotected aquifer, where most of the city's water supply comes from, and a number of factors are contributing to the problem. Some of these are a lack of groundwater legislation, which allows contamination of groundwater to occur easily and often with impunity. Another is the lack of compli ance with agricultural codes of practice, as well as the excess quantity of manure locally generated by poultry operations. Unless the manure can be moved to a different site it will accumulate, bringing a variety of negative effects. While agricultural wastes are considered the primary contributor to the contamination of the aquifer, there are other pollution sources, including pesticides and fertilizers from agricultural and residential land use, malfunctioning septic tanks, leaky underground storage tanks, gravel extraction operations and industri- Council invited to town festival ALDERGROVE - Festival Days spokesperson June Willson delivered personal invitations to councillor to attend this weekend's activities in this town, Monday evening. The meeting, which was taped by Rogers, was also a chance for Willson to extend invitations to the public elsewhere. Willson said for the tenth anniversary year of the festival, organizers have printed enough programs to deliver to every resi-' dence in the Aldergrove commu nity. "We invite all to please come and join us." She noted that the annual Friday evening fireworks and Saturday morning parade always drew big crowds, but there are two special events for the first time this year. One will be the awarding of the Hilda Reddick Community Service Award on Friday evening at Heritage Park, and the other is the dedication of the recently completed Heritage Park the next day. Suspect faces 10 counts of fraud By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Aldergrove's RCMP Constable Al Wakelin busted a suspected fraud artist who used many different personae to defraud mostly middle-aged, white, professional women out of large sums of money over the past year. Wakelin arrested Karl Edwin ewell, a.k.a. Kevin Roberts, last week after receiving a tip from a concerned citizen. He is facing at least 10 counts of fraud. "The look on his face when I showed up to arrest him was just priceless," said Wakelin. Newell targeted his victims via visual contact and then stalked them until he got a phone number. He then used any pretext to arrange a meeting with his victim, including the 'wrong number' approach. He came across as very charming, and liked to drink and shoot pool at quality, licensed establishments, spending money extravagantly to attract victims. His latest scam involved posing as a plain clothes police officer. He gained the victims' trust and confidence and then defrauded them of money and other items. He also posed as an ex- CFL player looking for investors for a fitness gym he planned to build. Surrey RCMP are continuing to investigate Newell's activities in that area. '$?§ al effluent. To deal with this problem staff recommended to council that they send a strong message to the provincial government asking them to enact groundwater protection legislation. Also they recommended that the city confirm their participation in the Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer International Task Force, which was set up a few years ago to work on a detailed strategy and implementation program for the protection of groundwater supplies. It was also recommended that council advise the province of the need for greater vigilance in ensuring environmentally responsible agricultural practices are followed, and that city staff look into developing their own wellhead protection and groundwater management program. Finally, staff should actively look for ways to dispose of exeess manure and other agricultural waste products, and direct the Environmental Select Committee to provide all stakeholders with a voice on this issue to enable the formulation of solutions to the problem. Councillors Ken Funk and Chick Wiebe were opposed to the recommendations. Funk said that the areas in question can be cleaned up without provincial legislation and that this whole issue is being made into a greater problem than it really is. Legislation on farmers would affect them all, not just the bad farmers who are spreading too much manure because of a lack of storage areas. All other councillors were in favour of the motions, especially Councillor Robertson who has recendy had his own well tested, and says that he can fertilize his lawn by sprinkling it. Councillor Brad Boyse said, "We owe it to our children to protect the water supply." Mayor Ferguson joined the debate, saying that nitrates are becoming a problem in the air, not just on the ground. LANGLEY - Township council gave final reading to an amendment to the funeral homes bylaw, which also provides guidelines for location of crematoria. Site specific zoning would be required for any future crematoria applications. Township staff have also issued responses to outstanding questions put forward by Aldergrove residents who opposed establishment of a crematorium in a local industrial park.

Beautiful, but poisonous A 'niCG QUV j Editor, The Star, Sir, Driving through the beautiful Fraser Valley this very dry spring, we cannot miss the profusion of brilliant yellow buttercups growing in the vivid green pastures. Only recently did I learn they are an'irritant toxin which can raise blisters on the skin; poisonous oil is released from the plant after it has been crushed, as by the chewing of horses and livestock. A severe burning and irritation of the gastrointestinal tract lining results. This generally leads to severe colic, diarrhoea and a black (from upper Gl tract bleeding) manure within an hour of ingesting. To try to help the animal, mineral oil, to coat and soothe the digestive tract, along with routine supportive care for colic, should be administered. This dry year pastures are already running out of grass if they were not properly fertilized in the spring. As the summer progresses the animals may be forced to eat the flowering plant to survive. Some horses feel the burning sensation and may stop eating the flower before it makes them ill, but if there is no other sustenance many animals have no alternative. Some of the other poisonous plants growing locally are: bracken fern, horsetail, mustard weeds, cherry and peach trees, locoweed, water hemlock, pine needles, acorns and oak leaves, red maple' leaves, yew, tansy ragwort, spurge, and elderberry bush. Many can be fatal if not caught immediately, others leave the ani mal very weak witii weight loss due to liver damage. Since you cannot count on your horse to know which plants to avoid, you will need to assume the role of 'plant patrol', and be sure his environment is toxic- plant free. This means swift eradication programs are essential. For further information contact the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. JOY RICHARDSON, Langley LETS V»IR»\P EM ALL UP! GU««plO<3*£KTO> Political 'rantings' Editor, The Star, Sir, I was tempted to pass off Liberal leader Gordon Campbell's leUer (NDP to Blame for Treaty Collapse) as the rant of someone who knows little about which he speaks and who has proven time and again how hopelessly out of touch he is with our Columbia- Kootenay region. But on this occasion I am so offended by his comments that I feel compelled to respond. From day one, Campbell has demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the significance of the Columbia River Treaty to the people and lands of the Columbia-Kootenay Basin. Residents of the Basin have lived the legacy of flooded farms, destroyed homes and shattered lives brought about by the Columbia River Treaty for thirty years. The return of the power benefits owed to British Columbia under the Treaty is an opportunity to redress the impacts of decisions made, without consultation', thirty years ago. After three years of intense negotiations, the Harcourt government concluded an agreement on the return of the entitlement with Bonneville Power Administration that was in the mutual interest of both Canada and the United States. The head of Bonneville flew to Vancouver in September, signed the deal, shook the Premier's hand and said it was a win-win agreement. As for Campbell, first he argued tha^be Downstream Benefits Agreement we signed with Bonneville Power was "a bad deal for British Columbia". When we introduced legislation in April to establish the Columbia Basin Trust, he spoke against it in the Legislature. Then, in an unprecedented act of political opportunism, he voted for the Trust. Two weeks ago, when Bonneville walked away from its good faith obligation to meet its commitments under international law, Campbell sided with Bonneville Power, arguing that B.C. never had a deal. Our government negotiated a good deal for British Columbia, so good that Bonneville has put its narrow commercial interests ahead of its responsibility to fulfil the obligations of the United States under the Treaty. The people of south eastern British Columbia paid the price for the first thirty years of the Columbia River Treaty. Now it is up to Bonneville to act responsibly and ensure that British Columbians receive the benefits of the last thirty years of the Treaty as is our right under international law. Campbell's letter is his latest attempt to use Bonneville's decision to trumpet his "slash and burn" economic agenda. The Liberal leader claims that booking the expected revenue from the downstream benefits was somehow underhanded. The Minister of Finance books income tax and sales tax revenue at the start of each year before that money 'tomes in as we'mCampbell's logic suggests that government should not estimate revenues at all. The fact is that the Canadian Bond Rating Service this week confirmed B.C's credit rating as the highest in Canada, saying that B.C. has the lowest per capita debt of all Canadian provinces and will post a surplus this year — regardless of any potential impact of Bonneville's decision to renege on a signed agreement In spite of Campbell's willingness to offer comfort to Bonneville, I can assure your readers that my government will not sell the people of British Columbia and the Kootenay-Columbia Basin short. We negotiated in good faith to maximize the benefits due to us under the Treaty for the people of this province. We have an agreement which is underpinned by an International Treaty; both parties are obliged to make best efforts to fulfil that Treaty. Bonneville has reneged. Theirs is an act of bad faith bargaining and a breach of the Columbia River Treaty. This government will keep its commitment to the Columbia- Kootenay Basin. We will repair the damage and restore justice. We know the law and history are on our side. And we know the people of the province and of the Columbia-Kootenay Basin support us in defending British Columbia's interests. ANNE EDWARDS Minister, Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resource^?* Editor, The Star, Sir, I liked your article on "Neighbours Save Trees." Let's make sure full credit is given where and when it's deserved. Mr. Gill had every legal right to sell those trees and they would have gone for a tidy sum in today's market That grove of stately firs has stood straight and tall like sentinels on the horizon for many years, a landmark for all who live around here. We would have greatly missed them. When Mr. Gill learned of our concern and affection for the trees, he agreed to preserve the stand. We contacted him directly, because in our association with him since he bought the property, he has impressed us as a nice guy and a person you could talk to. We constantly hear of protests by organized groups who have nothing to lose and who vehemently demand what should be done - find someone willing to listen to neighbours' concerns and do his best to be a good neighbour, even if it costs him money. Yes, Indar is a nice guy. MARSHALL CRONKHITE, Aldergrove. The smell of the water Editor, The Star, Sir, Shame on you, Aldergrove residents! After years of complaining to have something done about the quality of our water supply, the opportunity to voice your concerns and to look at options was finally given. I am referring to the Open House held at the Elk's hall Tuesday, May 30, between 4:00 and 8:00 pm. The purpose of this meeting was to provide detailed information on the recommendations contained in the study of Aldergrove's drinking water. Unfortunately only a handful of residents took the time to attend this very informal drop-in style meeting. For those of you that did not attend, you missed a very interesting and informative presentation. There was staff from the Township Engineering Dept present to explain the three options being presented. There were also pictures of the recent pilot "pigging" project, and a sample of some thick brown sludge cleaned from the pipes during this procedure. This sludge which lines the water mains in Aldergrove is apparently the result of the Manganese contained in the water. This Manganese oxidizes and causes organic growth when the water sits for any length of time. This results in cloudy water with particles floating in it, a rotten-egg smell, and staining of almost everything that comes in contact with it. Some refer to this as an aesthetic problem. They are obviously not recipients of our water. The smell of the water that greets you in the morning as you brush your teeth is enough to make me gag. That overpowering odour of rotten eggs that greets you in the shower is truly a joy to behold. I am not willing to have rust coloured fixtures in my bathrooms or wear white clothing streaked with brown stains. The cost involved in purchasing harsh chemicals to clean our toilets, dishwashers, washing machines and clothing is expensive. It is very damaging to the environment when these cleaners are flushed into the sewer system. From my observations at the meeting I concluded that there are three options being considered. The first option is "Pigging" most of the water mains in Aldergrove approximately every two years. The second is chlorination and filtration to reduce manganese levels, and the third option is to abandon the local supply and hook up to the GVRD system. In my opinion the first option is not a very viable solution. This is the option the Township engi neer Fred Peters is asking for in next year's budget. The "pigging" of the water mains does not address the source of the problem and is only a band-aid solution. However it is the least expensive. The cleaning of the water mains does nothing for the sludge'that lines the pipes on the inside of our homes. Our hot water tanks are lined with growth of organic manganese and the hotter the water the more growth is encouraged. This option asks that the lines be cleaned every two years but there is no guarantee that this will be often enough. I am living in a two-year-old home. The smell started approximately six months after we moved in. Using this example I do not think that cleaning every two years would solve or help the problem effectively. If you think that the sludge docs not enter the pipes of your home, take the time to lift the lid on the back of your toilet. What you will find will prove otherwise. Option Two: This involves filtration and chlorination of our current water. While there is no doubt that this is preferable to option one, it also is not without concerns. The study did not conclude that filtration will rid us of the problems. This alternative is also quite costly. Option Three. This option recommends the abandoning of our local supply and hooking up to the GVRD supply. This is the most expensive plan. However, if Aldergrove is going to expand by having ALR land released, the township will be forced to link us to the GVRD water system eventually. Therefore it seems that while Option three is the most expensive it is the only viable avenue to pursue. We would be spending fewer tax dollars with the other alternatives but we are only putting off the inevitable. The other options are literally money down the drain. The health department people tell us that the water is safe to drink. I wonder what our inner bodies look like after years of consuming this water. Perhaps Option Four will be the cleaning of our human water mains. Aldergrove residents pay the same amount in taxes as the rest of the Langley township, but sadly we do not enjoy the same quality of water. Please, Aldergrove, wake up and smell the Water! Call the Mayor or a Council member and. let them know what Aldergrove residents want. Clean water. NOW!!!

With an emcee and music and sound operator, they presented their Krazy Kapers, a vaudeville show that is probably the funniest show ever presented in Aldergrove. So after lunch and a brief meeting the show went on. The performers kept the audience in stitches and several times brought down the house. Tlie run on tissues to keep the tears of laughter mopped up was amazing. The audience finally got their laughing in check to give the troupe a standing ovation. The bus trip committee has a great selection of bus trips lined up and the list should be ready for the July issue of the newsletter. The next general meeting will be June 26, and as it will also be the second anniversary of the network, a birthday cake will be featured. There are now 151 members. This will be the last meeting until September. So, once again the Aldergrove Bypass is resurrected. It seems strange to have to have a bypass, when in the good old days, Buckerfield's Feed Store was in the center of town. In those times you needed all the highway and some of the sidewalk to miss the power pole and back into the loading dock to load your feed. Especially if one of the two bays had a supply truck unloading in it. Frustrated gals (there was no power steering in those days) often left their trucks sitting in the middle of the road while they dashed into the store in search of an obliging "Bucks" employee to back them in so they could load. Then the authorities painted a yellow line down the centre of the road and explained, that you had to use the right of the line only, which didn't do any good at all, as farmers, used to turning in twenty acres, found half the road very confining. However, when paving the roads became commonplace, the yellow line becan\e a very valuable adjunct to driving. If, after having had a couple at the Pub or Legion and arriving at the road of your domicile on a wet or foggy night, and as you turned off the highway, you were then able to straddle the center line in your vehicle and knowing that if you kept the center line in the center of your headlights, very feeble in those days, you should not hit any pedestrians or bikes, and you certainly would not land in the ditch. As for meeting another car, well, who in their right mind would drive away from home at night leaving their kids sleeping and unattended, and a barn full of stock on which your living depended? However, one councillor after meeting another driver at night, pushed a resolution through the next council meeting that the rules of the road had to be enforced by the police, and all traffic keep to the right of the center line. Strangely enough, the first person pinched on this infraction was the same councillor. Justice in Langley in those days was swift and merciless. on every roof FORT LANGLEY - "Andy Warhol would be proud of this contribution to the fort," says mayor John Scholtens, and councillor Steve Burton figures that, 'There may not be a chicken in every pot but there could be one on every roof." For her part, coun. Muriel Arnason frets that the floodgates are open and everyone will be demanding permits for wooden chickens on their roof. The issue is a piece of "folk art" which township council gave its sanction to at Monday's evening, by issuing a development permit for a seven-foot tall chicken on a swing that now sits on a Glover Road business rooftop. The amusing eye-catcher is for sale, but owner Betty War- man said she wasn't eager to attempt bringing it back to earth unless the price was right Warman said she and husband, John, had installed the piece to promote their new venture, the Swinging Chicken Folk Art Etc, and response from the public and other businesses was positive. Fort Langley Enhancement Committee has endorsed the Warman's application, and she said, "People are enjoying it — it enhances an art community. It's safe, light fun." However, township staff says it means that council should adopt guidelines for folk art objects as part of the Fort Langley Building Facade Design Guidelines. Arnason pointed out that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and questioned whether there should be different standards in the various communities, but coun. Mel •Kositsky said that local communities setting their own standards was a step in the right direction." Arnaso i was the sole vote against the permit. LANGLEY - W.C. Blair Recreation Centre will be shut down between Sept. 5 and 21 "in order to complete critical maintenance projects." A township report said that reinforcing bars within the concrete walls of the nine year old building have deteriorated and a contractor required ten days to determine the extent of the damage. There would also be repairs to interior gyproc walls where metal studs have rusted through. Ozone equipment will be moved to a new room and the equipment and alarms systems would be checked during the closure. The pool is usually closed ten days each year for maintenance, but the extra six days were required because of the complexity of the work to be undertaken this year. irsouR BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, BUT IT'S YOUR TREAT.

Be sure you wear sunscreen and that old, floppy straw hat. Keep those arms covered the sun is not as friendly as it was deemed to be years ago. Some of the Alder Grove Heritage Society members did venture out several days to clean up the debris around Bertrand Creek and area. This is in readiness for the grand opening of the Aldergrove Kinsmen Heritage Park, June 10, 1 pm. We invite all residents to come see the tremendous change made. It's like a Cinderella fairy tale from brambles, stones and weeds to a lovely green lawn, beautiful flowers and now a gazebo. While you're admiring the new landscaping (the Kinsmen and Heritage Society spent many hours on this project and it's really something to be proud of!) drop into the F.J. Hart and BC Tel Building to browse through the collection, chat with the friendly volunteer staff and perhaps purchase a souvenir or two. The sad part in all these celebrations is that our office co-ordinator, Dora Chapman has been very ill and scheduled for surgery. Dora has been instrumental in arranging office routines and important occasions. Isn't it surprising how we take someone 'Tor granted" until they are absent and then suddenly realize how important a wheel they were? We all pray that Dora will soon be up and around. Yes, the life blood of an organization is the loyal volunteers, for without them an organization soon dissipates. That brings me to the issue of membership - where are the members of last year? We do miss you, so before you go on that holiday this summer give us a call 857-0555. Anyone, anywhere, wishing to become a new member of the Alder Grove Heritage Society may do so by dropping into the office (corner of 271st and 32nd). There are a number of functions coming up that will make it a rewarding venture. The society's monthly general meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month. Come listen to interesting stories of our past Meetings are held at the Vets Hall in Aldergrove. We'll see you Aldergrove Festival Days. Put on your grass skirt and join the fun. Killer pleads guilty to manslaughter VANCOUVER - A Surrey man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of an exotic dancer whose body was found in a shallow grave in Langley, dismembered by a chainsaw, Nov. 12, 1993. B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Selbie has ordered a psychiatric assessment of David Earnest Rhodes, before the June 29 sentencing date. The Crown has alleged that Rhodes "enjoyed" cutting up the body of Laloannie Francis Thibert, 25. A Crown witness said that Thibert had become "agitated" on Nov. 8, 1993, after injecting herself with cocaine and heroin at a Surrey home of Robert Hong. Hong subdued her by tying her hands and feet. Rhodes then carried her to a bedroom where he watched her, but witnesses said a gag was found stuffed into her mouth and that she suffocated. After efforts to revive her failed, Rhodes volunteered to dispose of the body, testified witnesses. A scene from award-winner Zastrozzi: Master of Discipline, which will play in Abbotsford this month. A modern day Quixote ABBOTSFORD - The Harrison Hot Springs Theatre Guild's award-winning production of George F. Walker's Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline will be presented at the 495 Abby Fringe Festival. This play was acknowledged at this year's Theatre BC Fraser Valley Zone Festival as the best production. Being selected best production gives the guild the honour of presenting Zastrozzi at Mainstage '95 in Kamloops the first week of July, along with the best production winners from the ten other zones throughout the province and the Yukon. Canadian playwright, George Walker draws from the conventions of melodrama, the gothic romance and the philosophy of Nietzsche to create the black comedy in Zastrozzi. The play's cen-. tral character is Zastrozzi, a diabolical Don Quixote, who is determined to store balance to mankind by imposing his order on chaos. The production includes the talents of people from throughout the Fraser Valley: Heather Dyck from Abbotsford; Lory Rippin of Aldergrove; Jeff Meadows of Surrey; Jane Buker, Gordon Hamilton, Todd Ingram, Gin Juanicotcna, Tina Molnar, Tim Morris and Anthony D. Sam from Chilliwack and Heather Robertson and Patrick Watchorn of Harrison Hot Springs. Zastrozzi: The Master of Discipline will be presented at the McCallum AcJ^yity Centre, 7478 McCallum, Abbotsford, on June 14, 15 and 16 during the Abby Fringe Festival.

Neighbors yap about kennel Car chase finds pot growers ALDERGROVE - The southeast section of the township has long been designated a kennel permit area, in an effort to control noise problems associated with the business. Elsewhere in the township, residents are limited to two dogs per household. However, a group of 21B Avenue residents west of 248 Street delivered a petition to township council this week, asking that they be removed from the Kennel Zone Area and that reactivation of a kennel licence for 24524 - 2IB Avenue be turned down. Residents cited "trouble in past years with barking dogs all hours of the day and night Conn. Muriel Arnason sympathized, commenting that setbacks and acreage should be the criteria for kennels. "Small pieces of land (used for kennels) can bother." The petition and letters have been sent to staff for a report. Accident yields thieves' arrests ABBOTSFORD - An alert citi- zen thought it was suspicious when two men involved in a single vehicle accident fled the scene, and called police. Officers attended the scene in the 38500 block of Old Yale Road, just before 11 a.m, Monday, June 5 and determined that the vehicle had been stolen from Coquitlam. A police dog was called in to search the area and located the two suspects in the 37700 block of Old Yale Road. Gmaii4eHjaja<rSiM^^ \ Lunch Hours: Monday - Friday 11:30 a.m. -2 p.m. 22867 FRASER HWY.

Driver flees after crash f| ABBOTSFORD - A high speed police chase along McLure Street last Thursday morning resulted in a head on collision between the suspect vehicle and a pick-up truck. Police attempted to stop the vehicle on Highway 11 near Enterprise Street when it sped onto McCallum Road, and then on to McLure. The vehicle was at temp (ing to pass a semi trailer truck on the small railroad bridge when it collided with the pick-up. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene and has not yet been apprehended. Two other occupants of the suspect vehicle were taken to MSA Hospital where they were treated for non life- threatening injuries. The driver of the pick-up was not seriously injured. Police are still investigating this matter and ask anyone with information to call Abbotsford Police at 859-5225 or Crime stoppers at 855-TIPS(8477). ABBOTSFORD - Police were chasing robbers last Wednesday morning, when they accidentally found a marijuana growing operation. The discovery happened when police responded to a business intruder alarm just before 4 a.m, and observed a suspicious vehicle in the area. It left at a high rate of speed when an attempt was made to pull it over. Officers pursued but lost the vehicle when it entered Langley. With the assistance of Langley RCMP, it was located a short time later on Glover Road, near Fort Langley. It was determined that the vehicle had been stolen, and when found, it contained a considerable amount of stolen property from a Youth busted SURREY - Police have a young offender from Langley in custody after the armed robbery of the Bear Creek Market just after 10:30 p.m, Tuesday, May 30.

An Abbotsford police dog was brought in to track die thieves but found the marijuana instead. This matter is now being investigated by Langley RCMP. The robbery suspects are still at large. Home care has its own "casualties" ABBOTSFORD - Marie, who doesn't want her last name used, is another one of Continuing Care's casualties. Permanently.disabled after .injuring herself in a fall, she has been unable to perform most of her daily tasks, especially house- cleaning. For seven years, until the recent Home Support strike, she has had a worker come to her house once a week for three hours, to assist her with vacuuming, laundry and other household tasks. When the strike was over, she expected to get help again, but found herself without help simply because sbe can bathe herself, which is the basic criteria for Home Support However, it is stated in the informational pamphlet on services Continuing Care provides under Homemaker Services, that cleaning such as vacuuming and laundry can be done! There seems to be a discrepancy between what Continuing Care says can be done and what is being done. "The workers will do the cleaning, but oidy if they are sent -in the first place to do the healthcare related work," said Marie. Finally, in tears because she couldn't stand the pain and frustration any more, she called Continuing Care Services and was promised a visit from someone who will assess her situation. "I am very frustrated with them. I can't reach into my cupboards or pick things up, but because I can bathe myself, they won't give me help. I am in danger of falling, especially in the bath, and I know I won't be able to get up. But I still manage to shower, so I don't qualify for help," she said. She also said that the system Continuing Care was using was impractical, because every week they sent a new worker and every week she had to explain where things are, and they never really paid any attention to her requests. Marie is also concerned that workers only come once a week. "Does that mean that people only get bathed once a week? The whole system needs reviewing, and people who need the help should be getting it." Continuing Care workers suggested to Marie that she hire someone to help with the chores, but like many recipients of Home Care, she doesn't have the extra money. She also doesn't want to impose on her family. "They work full time and have families of their own," she said "I can't ask them to come after a busy day at work and vacuum my apartment. That's not fair." This whole dispute is causing Marie and others like her a lot of stress, but it has also mobilized many former Home Care recipients to go after the provincial government and the Ministry of Health, to get some answers as to why they are being treated this way. "We are being backed into corners where we just don't care anymore," Marie said. "It is all very unfair, but we won't give up. We will continue to fight for our . rights.'"' ■'^^W-W\ Izb**Mt ——T7^—~—:—^— ~^—: THE ALDERGROVE STARJ JUNE 7.1995 13 V ALDERGROVE COMMUNITY SECONDARY Josh Allen Nathan Ambrosio Jeffrey Anderson Ritz Aranyaphong Shannon Askin Ramona Aulakh Joseph Baer Wesley Barker Roberta Batts Terra Beggs Brent Bencharski Hawely Bennett Lee Bennett Tracy Best Anglea Blattman Jillian Boisjoli Mike Boshart Crispen Brown Jesse Brown Cindy Burbidge Dayna Burt Eric Butler Lyndsey Caddick Andrew Caines Jessy Chan Sin Yu Chiu Paul Chong Andrea Clarke Angela Davidson Charmaine Day Albert Denton Monique Devigne Carie Dreland Jeremy Erlandsen Nathan Eunson Jason Featherstone Samantha Flint Tanya Foulds Lome Frigon Tetsuo Fujimoto Jennifer Gee Ryan Gleeson Roger Grafstrom Jeff Gregg Angie Griffin Debbie Haber Michelle Hall Peter Hampton Shane Hipwell Hoai Thanh Hoang Grace Horton Amy Howitt Chen Hsuan Huang John Hunter Tamara lmlach Chad Ingham Ayman Janab Melanie Kihn Kimberly Knapp Erin Knyff Tara Konrad Bryce Kydd Darcy Lainchbury Silvia Lam Patrick Lane Keitha Langlands Jeff Leakey Wei Han Lee Vincent Leung Fermansha Li Leon Lilley Michelle Lin Karen Lindahl Jeremy Luypen Sheila Lyndon Crystal MacDonald Katie Machell Brandon Madigan Carley Makela Christos Makris James Maksymiw Jessica Marganelli Sandra Marshall Jesse Martens Marsha McDonald Tanya McDowell Stacey McGregor Shantel McMillan Patrick McMorris .

TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY *».j"" 7/7V"* •*""v^ PUBLIC COMMISSION ON GROWTH AND PLANNING June 1995 BACKGROUND TO GROWTH ISSUES The Township of Langley has grown rapidly over the past eight years, but this growth has not been uniformly distributed. Population growth has been slower in the communities of Fort Langley and Aldergrove and in the rural area of the Township, than in the developing urban communities in the Western Corridor. Present community plans suggest that the rate of rural population growth will continue to be slower and that most of the new growth will be focused in the Western Corridor where urban development areas have already been identified. Urban forms of development are proceeding quickly in Surrey (to the west) and Abbotsford (to the east). This is contributing to growth pressures along both boundaries of the Township. Langley has been experiencing the full effects of being part of one of North America's fastest growing urban regions. Although the GVRD's Livable Region Strategy calls for slower growth in outlying areas like Langley, the Township has continued to grow rapidly in response to the region-wide pressures for development. Although the Township of Langley is still experiencing healthy demand for detached single family residential housing, there is also a THE PUBLIC COMMISSION ON GROWTH AND PLANNING The Public Commission on Growth and Planning was appointed by Township Council in June of 1994, to make recommendations on future growth in the Township. Growth issues to be reviewed by the Commission include rate of growth, location of growth, and the quality of new development The Commission consists of six residents of the Township, a representative from the Langley School Board, and two Councillors. significant increase in demand for other forms of housing (townhouses and apartments). These pressures can be expected to affect regional demands for ground-oriented, adult and retirement housing in Langley, as rising prices for single-family homes make townhouses an affordable alternative for families with children. Recent growth has left the Township with a limited supply of vacant serviced land for urban development. Depending on the rate of growth over the next few years, this supply could be fully used within three to five years. Since it takes about three years to prepare for the development of a new urban area, additional growth area(s) will need to be selected and planned for during 1995 and 1996. NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING JUNE 14, 1995 You are invited to attend a public meeting to comment on the essential elements, planning and development principles proposed by the Commission, the proposed location of the next urban growth area and the rate of growth. We will listen to your comments and concerns before making a final recommendation to Council. The Public Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 14,1995 at 7:00 PM in the theatre of Kwantlen College (Langley Campus) on the Langley Bypass, east of Glover Road.

WHAT SHOULD A NEW URBAN COMMUNITY BE LIKE? The Commission has identified seven essential elements that it believes will have the greatest influence on residents' satisfaction with their community and their comfort level with growth. Based on these elements, a number of planning and development principles are proposed: The mix of land uses, the form of development and the mix of housing types: New communities in the Township should be designed to provide: o r- V" C| -9- A W r_Tm 56 AVE 48 AVE WAVE 32 AVE 2. AVE 16 AVE 8 AVE. OAVE mixed uses, to create communities that will provide a full range of residential, educational, recreational, and employment opportunities, and a variety of housing densities; A central node of higher density commercial and residential development to encourage walking and transit use; publicly-owned and publicly accessible streets; developments oriented to the street to help create an attractive pedestrian environment . and to encourage on-street activity; a variety of transportation modes; a clear limit on urbanization, to minimize impacts on Langley's rural/agricultural activities. The quality of life and the quality of community, in physical, social and economic terms: Communities should have distinctive characters and identities. Community design and community services should: support the development of strong community spirit; provide a full array of infrastructure and services; recognize the importance of employment as a factor in determining population growth; protect the environment; be safe, secure, and well-linked to other communities in the region. The overall transportation system: • a new community should be located and designed so that it is accessible by a variety of transportation methods; roads should be efficient, convenient and capabfe of accommodating necessary volumes without harming existing communities, and travel patterns should minimize impacts on rural .areas. The balance between jobs and residents: a new community should create a stable, diverse economic base, provide a wide variety of educational and cultural facilities to help make Langley attractive to business, and support the agricultural industry. The protection of the environment and the conservation of energy: • a new community should facilitate lifestyles that minimize energy consumption (e.g., walking, composting and recycling, transit use), and encourage innovative, energy-conscious design of the community and individual buildings. The interface between rural and urban areas: • the interface between urban and rural areas should be designed to protect the agricultural sector and the environment and preserve Langley's unique rural character. This should include: creating greenbelts on urban zoned land adjacent to the ALR ensuring that the urban/rural boundary is "defendable," and using parkland as a buffer between urban and agricultural uses. The costs of development: • the Township should find creative ways to partner with the School District, community groups, and the private sector to provide community facilities, should examine municipal standards for roads and other services to see if revised standards could reduce costs reduce environmental impacts, improve neighbourhood design, and define the community facilities to be provided and utilize a financial strategy to provide facilities concurrent vath the emerging community. 102 AVE 98 AVE 88 AVE 80 AVE 72 AVE 64 AVE IS THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE7,1995 17 Western Corridor ban Areas Substantially veloped eas Designated for ture Urban Development ajor Commercial / Industrial WHERE SHOULD A NEW URBAN COMMUNITY BE LOCATED? Two areas of the Township have the potential to accommodate a new urban community, Willowbrook/Willoughby and Fernridge. In assessing these two areas against the planning and development principles, the Commission has proposed Willowbrook/Willoughby as the next urban community^for the following reasons: • Willowbrook/Willoughby is closer to existing communities, to the Town Centre, and to existing sources of employment; • A new community in Willowbrook/Willoughby will be better able, in the near future, to adhere to the Commission's proposed planning and development principles, leaving more time to plan for transportation, employment and community services and facilities in Fernridge. • Willowbrook/Willoughby offers lower municipal costs and more gradual servicing expenditures. mm FAST SHOULD THE TOWNSHIP GROW? The Commission recommends that the Township's population growth rate be in the range of 3% per annum. This rate is lower than the current growth rate of about 4%. The Commission believes that population growth must also be in balance with growth in jobs as much as possible. HOW CAN THE TOWNSHIP ACHIEVE THIS? To ensure that development occurs in an orderly manner consistent with planning and development principles, the Commission proposes that a strategy to implement the desired form of development be created and applied. This strategy would include a detailed financial plan to ensure efficient and economical servicing of new urban growth areas, development of new community and neighbourhood plans for growth areas and a planning strategy showing a sequence of neighbourhood development. PROCESS In November, 1994 the Commission released its first report, entitled "Growth Management Background Report", which presented background information on population and development trends in Langley. This report demonstrated clearly why growth is an important concern in the community. In December of 1994 the Commission placed a questionnaire in local newspapers to obtain opinions of residents on growth options for the Township. The Commission's second report, entitled "Proposed Directions," was released in February, 1995. This report outlined potential directions for future growth based on the Township's mission statement and community values. The proposals in this report were reviewed by residents at five public open houses The Township has been growing at 4% to 5% each year for the last 20 years. What Growth option is best for Langley's future? (1994 newspaper survey, 1995 telephone survey) The Commission is proposing that the annual growth rate in the Township be reduced somewhat, to 3% per year from the current rate. Do you agree with this proposal? (1995 open house questionnaires) 1994 Newspaper Survey - 1995 Telephone Sur veyj- "•■■.'•• : '. - 80% 60% COMPOHO No Growth Slow Growth Current Growth (less than 1%) (1/2 of currant growth) (4-5%) 40% 20% in March, 1995. Those attending the open houses were invited to complete questionnaires and make suggestions for other elements that should be considered. Also in March, 1995 a telephone survey of Township residents was carried out by Canadian Facts.for both the Public Commission on Growth and Planning and the Budget and Finance Committee. This was a statistically representative random sample survey of residents. The results from the newspaper questionnaire, open house questionnaire and telephone survey, as well as the results of two Langley Tomorrow surveys conducted by Canadian Facts in 1990 and 1993 are included in the third report from the Commission, entitled "Public Input." A Public Meeting is scheduled for June 14,1995, as an opportunity for members of the public to present submissions to the Commission, prior to the process being finalized. The meeting is to take place at 7:00 PM, in the Theatre of Kwantlen College (Langley Campus). —— PPS^SPHSS?!^ 18 THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JUNE 7,1995 COMMON QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ASKED 3 Question: Doesn't adoption of the Brookswood/Fernridge Official Community Plan in 1987 mean this area should be allowed to develop next? While plans have been adopted for Brookswood/Fernridge (in 1987) and Willowbrook (in 1991), Council did not commit to implementation of urban development within a specific timeframe in either case. The Growth & Planning Commission was asked by Council to make recommendations regarding the opening of new areas as part of a growth management strategy. The Commission reviewed the location options in light of the proposed planning & , development principles. Currently, Fernridge does not meet those principles. Question: Why not open up both Fernridge and Willowbrook/Willoughby for development? Currently, Fernridge does not meet the Commission's proposed planning & development principles. For example, the Commission believes that Willowbrook/Willoughby has greater potential to achieve: • homes closer to the local employment centres (i.e. Langley Town Centre, N/W Industrial area); • more cost effective public transportation; • a wider range of housing types and increasing densities. In addition, the Commission feels it is important that the Township concentrate its efforts tb build complete communities as quickly as possible. With lower growth rates projected for the future, embarking upon two major new development areas will simply lengthen the timeframes in each area for community facilities and increase the financial risks to the municipality. It is unlikely that necessary facilities such as elementary schools, high schools, parks, and recreation centres will be constructed until certain critical population levels are achieved. Question: Were alternate traffic routes reviewed for the Fernridge area? One of the Commission's principles is to locate and design a new community so that roads and traffic patterns minimize impacts on existing communities and rural areas. Many residents have suggested 16 Ave. and 32 Ave. as traffic corridors to provide access to Brookswood and Fernridge. Both of these roads are local roads under the jurisdiction of the City of Surrey. Both roads pass through ALR lands for most of the distance between Langley and Highway 99. Reliance on these routes would impact on communities in Surrey, and would therefore not comply with the Commission's principles. Also, as both roads are under the jurisdiction of the City of Surrey, improvements to these roads to accommodate traffic from Langley would have to be done at Surrey's expense and on Surrey's timetable. The GVRD's proposed Livable Region Strategic Plan includes transit and highway system improvements required to accommodate growth in the region to 2021. Proposed transit improvements include bus lanes and regional bus connections along the Trans Canada Highway, Highway 10,200 St. and Fraser Highway west of the Langley Regional Town Centre. Proposed highway system improvements include: upgrading of the Trans Canada and Fraser Highways; construction of a high occupancy vehicle facility along the Trans Canada Highway; and a new highway to connect the Trans Canada Highway in the Langley/Surrey area to Highway 99 near the Surrey/Delta boundary. These improvements will provide better service to people living and working in the Willowbrook/Willoughby area, and also provide better access on regional facilities for residents commuting to jobs elsewhere in the Lower Mainland. Question: If only one new area is opened for development, wouldn't that create a monopoly for new housing and inflate housing prices? Langley is part of a larger region where developers compete with not only the new home market but also resale of the existing housing stock. The Commission's principles include the provision of a greater mix of housing types in order to make housing more affordable. While there may be some benefit to keeping house prices lower by opening up vast tracts of housing, this approach may prove financially difficult for a municipality. The Commission's focus has been on building complete communities which includes a growth rate in balance with employment opportunities, and the financial ability of the municipality to provide the "soft" services. Question: How did the Commission consider servicing costs? "Hard" costs for servicing (sewer, water, roads) is only one of the elements that the Commission considered. For the most part, these costs are paid for by developers through development cost charges. New development also incurs "soft" costs for services such as policing and recreation, which must be funded by the general taxpayer. Other costs that cannot be quantified, including proximity to employment centres, ability to support transit service, minimizing impacts on rural areas & existing communities, and capability for a mix of housing types & densities, were also considered to be very important. Question: Did the Commission consider that developers may help pay to extend services? It is likely that developers in both areas would be willing to extend utility services. These proposals, however would cover only the extension of utility services — costs of other services, such as major recreational facilities and schools have not been proposed to be paid for by developers. The Township must consider the costs of development and their impact on existing taxpayers. Question: Since the Commission has already released proposals, has it made up its mind? Since the subject matter is very complex, the Commission felt it was preferable to develop draft proposals, and show what these proposals would lead to, so that people could understand and comment on them. All comments received will be reviewed by the Commission before a final recommendation is submitted to Council. THE NEXT STEP A public meeting is scheduled for June 14,1995, as an opportunity for members of the public to make submissions to the Commission. The meeting is to take place at 7:00 PM, in the Theatre of Kwantlen College (Langley Campus). The College is located on the Langley Bypass, just east of Glover Road. MAKING A SUBMISSION Many people will want to make presentations at the meeting. If you wish to make a submission, please be prepared by reviewing the information before the meeting. Please limit your submission to 5 minutes to allow as many people as possible to present their views. Written submissions may be delivered to the Municipal Hall before the meeting and will also be accepted during the meeting. MORE INFORMATION?

This special store for nature lovers was a dream of owner and operator Brian Fryatt. It is now reality and this Saturday, June 10, Brian is celebrating the Grand Opening and invites the public to come and join in the festivities. The Nature Gallery is a unique store, featuring wildlife and nature motifs beautifully painted on T-shirts, repeated on jackets, bags and hats, and there are many otiier articles along the same vein. Another feature at the Nature Gallery is native art, and Russell Foreman, a very versatile artist, has been associated with the Nafoire Gallery since it opened. Russell spent most of his time as a professional musician. He moved to Mission three years ago where he became acquainted with the First Nations people. "Until February I was drawing and painting people. I'm kind of an armchair historian and I like to study other cultures. I do mostly animal portraits now. The accessibility of wildlife here has made a huge difference in the way I see things, and the local Native people have been very supportive and have had a great influence on me and my work." Foreman says. This influence certainly shows in Foreman's works. The variety of media and styles pays great respect to his subjects. Foreman uses black and colour pigments with transparent acrylics and water colours. He also makes jew- cllry and crafts. The Nature Gallery is also involved annually with the Merritt Mountain Music Festival and to help celebrate the grand opening at the Nature Gallery, the festival organizers have donated two tickets to the festival, held on July 13,14,15 and 16. These tickets will be the grand prize in a draw at the Nature Gallery, so make sure you visit this new shop and fill in your entry form this week. There is a form in the Nature Gallery advertisement below for you to use, and Uie draw will be held June 28 in the store. Dr. Steven M.

Parents after ministry for "equal" policy VICTORIA - A group repre- * senting parents from across the province has backed the Abbotsford school district in its fight with the education ministry over teaching the biblical story of creation. The B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils voted at its annual general meeting to urge the provincial ministry to allow the teaching of both evolution and creation theories. ; This apparently contradicts instructions from Education Minister Art Charbonneau to the Abbotsford bo&rd. The resolution, passed by the government-sponsored confederation late last month, asked the ministry to "ensure the opportuni- s ty for students to be: "(1) taught most commonly held theories on the origin of the universe and life on our planet or at least be given a list of resources to explore them on their own; "(2) allowed to discuss the pros and cons of the theories without being criticized for their opinion, in order to promote critical thinking skills and "(3) taught evolution as theory not fact." The confederation consists of delegates from parent advisory committees set up in each public school in the province by the education ministry.

Some 300 outstanding employees from Vancouver restaurants will be saluted at a Crew Gala that evening and each of them will receive a recognition jacket identifying the wearer for his or her "Operations Excellence". One of them will win a Caribbean cruise for two. They are among some 8,500 people, the majority of them under 20 years of age, who have just completed a unique four- month training and motivational program designed to help them advance in their work and to help McDonald's deliver on its mission - 100 per cent total customer satisfaction. This is indeed the 'Shangri La' By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - People retiring and buying new homes ponder and query over where to settle but I wonder why. Aldergrove is the perfect spot with its nice rolling landscape, beautiful trees and flowers and surrounded by fertile farm land. What more could you want? After seventeen years I'm a true Aldergrovian. I mentioned winding down for the summer but I'm not quite ready to give up the ghost yet - not until July. There are several things that have to be mentioned. First the Strawberry Tea to be held Saturday, June 10, at the OAP Hall. Every year we have this project as a good will gesture for Aldergrove Festival Days. Come one, come all and make it a social event. We will open soon after the parade, and carry on from about 11 am to 3 pm. Lunch is always delicious. The OAPO general meeting last Friday had a smaller crowd of around thirty five. So many are 1995 PROPERTY TAXES LANGLEY PROPERTY TAX NOTICES FOR 1995 HAVE BEEN MAILED Payment for 1995 property taxes and the claiming of the Provincial Home Owner Grant, if applicable, must be made by 6:00 pm July 4, 1995 to avoid the 10% penalty addition to any unpaid balance. Property tax penalties cannot be reversed for any reason. Payments may be made in either of the following ways: 1. By telephone through the Royal Bank or any B.C. Credit Union. Your personal telebanking account number is recorded on the tax notice beside the roll number. To pay by telephone you must make application with the financial institution of your choice and use this personal telebanking number to establish an account. If this option is taken the home owner grant must be claimed separately by the due date to avoid penalty. 2. In person and over the counter at most major chartered banks in Canada or at any B.C. Credit Union. 3. In person at most major chartered banks in Canada through ATM's. You must ensure that the ATM deposit is made BEFORE the payment deadline. 4. By mail. Post dated cheques acceptable dated July 4, 1995. 5. In person at.the following municipal recreation office locations from Tuesday to Friday (8:30 am - 6:00 pm) and Saturday and Sunday as well as Statutory Holidays (9:00 am-12:00 noon): Walnut Grove Community Centre (882-0408) 8889 Walut Grove Drive Langley Civic Centre (530-1323) 20699 42nd Avenue Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre (856-2899) 26770A 29th Avenue */** 6. In person at municipal hall Monday to Friday 8T30 am - 4:30 pm (extended hours of operatiqp'830 am - 8:00 pm from June 26 to July 4.) If this option +sTaken please be patient of line-ups. Having your payment and home owner grant completed before presenting the payment to the cashier speeds service substantially.

Last week's bridge winners were: John McDougall with 5800 as high score, second by John Arnason with 5490, Sheila McDougall had 5200 while Harry Ritchie came fourth with 4680. The draw went to Stan St.Jean. 50-50 winners at the Wednesday, May 31 dance were Millie Bennett, Helen Souther, and Vern Nash. The Happy Gang provided good music. On Sat., June 3, there were 72 at the dance: Happy Gang were the musicians and it was a good dance. Door prizes were won by Edna Moffatt and Frank Luxton. Five people won the 50-50 draw - Helen Dion, Chris Lockhart, and Chris drew her own name giving her a second prize - Ab Kay and Millie Bennett were the other winners. This week Millie and George, who call themselves the "Western Melodies" will play for both dances. Spot Dances were won by Bea Quimet, John Steffineck and Edna Moffatt and Glen Leon. Just came back from the grand opening of the Hen House Art Gallery and what an interesting place. The work done by the family is quite unique and worth going to see. Anyone interested in picnic and patio tables would find quite a variety of beautifully constructed ones there. Smaller items such as flower boxes, ornamental figures all made of wood and tastefully painted by talented artists can be found, as well as small cabinets, dried flower deco rations and even Christmas decorations. This shop is only a short distance east of Station Road on the Fraser Highway. The Choral Group will be entertaining at the Citizen of the Year Awards Luncheon, June 6 at the Langley Resource Centre.

Langley Little Theatre Group with their play, Garage Sale, provided some good comedy, and last week at the Network Luncheon at the Community Centre in Aldergrove a group of ladies from Alberni had everyone laughing up a storm with their crazy antics, which makes this comment appropriate; "He who laughs, lasts."

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS LANGLEY 1995 SPRINKLING REGULATIONS Effective June 1, 1995, until September 30, 1995 sprinkling of lawns at times other than those listed below is prohibited. These measures are being taken in co-operation with all GVRD communities to conserve our water resourse so adequate amounts are available to all. Please use water responsibility. 1. WHEN YOU MAY SPRINKLE YOUR LAWN DAYS EVEN numbered premises on Saturdays and Wednesdays ODD numbered premises on Sundays and Thursdays TIME 4:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on permitted days 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on permitted days 2. Newly turfed or seeded lawns may be irrigated more frequently, provided a written permit stipulating conditions is first obtained from the Engineering Department. The permit fee will be $30 for each location and shall cover a period of 21 days. A maximum fee of $150 shall apply for multi-famly developments. 3. Watering of flowers, shrubs and vegetable gardens is not effected by the regulations at this stage. 4. Car washing using a hose equipped with spring loaded shut-off device is permitted. Failure to comply with these requirements shall constitute an infraction of Langley Waterworks Regulation Bylaw No. 3261 and may render penalties as provided. Such action includes, but is not limited to a fine of seventy-five ($75) dollars. The above regulations are to remain in effect until further notice. Your co-operation will help save water and reduce the risk of more severe restrictions. Remember, your lawn only needs about 1 inch of water (about 1 hour of sprinkling) per week to stay healthy. If you require any further information please contact the Engineering Department at 533-6006. Department of Engineering TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY J. Pat Anderson, P.Eng. Director of Engineering Telephone: 533-6006 20-2 23-1 facture nutcrackers in the shape of ducks, hence the company name 'Nut Quackers.' They sold their house to finance the business which has so far been successful making "Made in Canada" items. They ship across Canada, to Germany and to the U.S. To corner the American market, which is 10 times bigger than the Canadian market, it became necessary to label the product "Made in America," which required the plant in Sumas. By making parts here and assembling the product there, they can use the "Made in'America" label. Although the business is successful, there is a problem with financing. Like most other small business, Nut Quackers makes most of its sales in the last third of the year, which means they have to start building inventory now. Unable to get capital operating? financing for a small business here, but able to get a small business loan in Washington State, they are planning to reverse their operations, and make parts there for assembly here, which will cost about 10 Canadian jobs. "Last year we employed about 10 people to get ready for the end of the year, which we hoped to do again this year, but won't be able to." In Washington state, for which they already have a visa, they have a small piece of property for collateral and will be able to get a low interest business loan through the Fourth Corner Economic Development Group. "We have some debts, which the banks in this country are not comfortable with. We have also tried for a loan as a 'depressed area,' but AbbotsfordsVdoesn't qualify." The Brundins have even tried the Federal Business Development Bank and various government agencies without success. "I am proud to be Canadian and would like to stay in Canada, but without operating costs, we won't be able to build the inventory needed to stay in business here," she said. The company has already invested more than $80,000 on product research and development, and established a large customer base. The staff is trained, and the marketing strategy is working. All that is needed is operating capital. "We're looking for venture capital to keep the bulk of the business in B.C." Brundin said. "As it is right now, we need $75,000 to start building inventory. To do that we will be down- scaling our business here and moving south," she said. "We are concerned with costs, because we sell to small retailers, who are also concerned about costs and can't compete with the Wal Marts. "Although we feel positive about what we're doing with our product, and people like our product, we have to do what we have to do, which means more jobs in America and less jobs here." Jeff Fitzgerald is the production coordinator for Nut Quackers in Sumas, Washington. The company plans to expand the Sumas operation and downsize the Abbotsford one which will end up costing Canadian jobs. -Monique Gaiazka photos 1 What did you do with your right HRR to vote? - ir TRASH CAN RECYCLING BOX MAIL BOX i***" mm •___.^t •Bs* «***ZS;_5.,___;"-i5<>" ^"*i__* ■___*• «___.w-V__S" ***t_5?___*»_5_X___5* »«_K*__r2-~ This envelope was delivered to your household a few weeks ago.

Alison Minto was driving her 1994 Jeep along 8 Avenue, when it went through the red tight, and hit the front of a transport truck. The driver of the truck, a Surrey resident, was not injured, nor was Minto, but her daughter Joanna Tate, who was in a booster seat in the back seat, was very seriously injured. There was no alcohol involved in the accident, which is still under investigation, but charges are pending. Victoria limits natives to 5% VICTORIA - The provincial government has acknowledged that it intends to limit native land claim settlements to live percent of the province. Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Cashore says the government based the Ave percent ceiling on the proportion of natives in British Columbia. Cashore says that in heavily populated areas of the province the natives can expect to receive less than five percent of the land while those in undeveloped areas would get more. Native communities have lodged overlapping claims amounting to about 111 percent of the province's total land area.

The pole was unveilled at a potlatch lunch hosted by students, last Friday. -Monique Gaiazka photo Students gather for potlatch By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Students at Betty Gilbert Elementary held a potlatch lunch last Friday to unveil their new totem pole. It was a very ceremonial event, attended by students in robes and masks, along with staff, parents and school board officials. The pole, carved by First Nations carver Rick Harry (Xwa- lack-tun), was blessed with sacred cedar boughs and sacred water as students drummed and sang a song of prayer. Harry works within the school district teaching First Nations culture, and providing educational activities for students. He said the pole took only six days to complete, with the help of students and power tools, but in reality it took about 32 years. "I started carving when I was about five," he said. "I have built up the knowledge, learned about tools and how to approach the carving. It takes a long time to learn to carve." School board trustee Denny Ross, who attended the ceremony, called it a tremendous educational experience for both Caucasian and Native kids. ^$0, "The Native kids were proud to be Native and the Caucasian kids were proud to know them, and be involved in a Sto:lo ceremony," he said. The log, worth about $3,000 was donated by Hans de Visser of Mill & Timber Products Ltd., and was cut in half. Harry is carving Uie other half at Aldergrove Community Secondary School.
