^^mmr^mm^wmP7wm^mmf- t'$iititm'Z iti LEGAL COSTS COULD BE IN MILLIONS Teacher's battle with giants sabotaged By MONIQUE GALAZKA LANGLEY - Norma Janzen, the teacher who has been dismissed from teaching after 24 years as a special needs instructor, because of her refusal to join the Langley Teacher's Association, is pushing Premier Mike Harcourt to change the laws that allow "Friends of the court" to seek court costs should they win their case. Janzen is also fighting for her freedom of association under tlie Canadian Charter of Rights. Interveners are encouraged to step into charter cases to allow the judges as many points of view as possible in making their decisions. The Canadian Labour Congress has stepped into her case as a friend of tlie court on tlie side of those she is suing. "I cannot proceed with my court case because of tlie possible monetary costs involved from the Canadain Labour Congress becoming a friend of tlie court on behalf of the Langley Teacher's Association. I did not ask for the intervention, and I don't think it's fair that I should have to pay should I lose my case." It all began in 1990 when she got a letter from the S«chool Board worded to say that by not joining the union she is deemed to have resigned. It was also worded in such a way that she knew she could not expect any severance pay, or otiier compensation. She decided to proceed with legal action against the Langley Teacher's Association, the School Board, and Attorney General Colin Gableman During the proceedings, tlie Canadian Labour Congress, an umbrella group for all unions entered the scene as a friend of tlie court, and the B.C. Supreme Court entitles interveners to have costs paid by the loser in tlie case. Janzen's lawyer, who is working pro-bono, has been in contact with the CLC about tlie possibility of their waiving the costs but they are unwilling to do so. Janzen says that it is probably be cause they know they can stop the case proceeding to trial because of the costs. They can tie up any loose ends by finishing the fight right now and put it all behind them. So far that seems to be tlie case. The struggle has now moved to the Premier's office and it is up to him'to change tlie laws regarding the awarding of costs so Janzen can proceed with her case. "It's a tremendous risk to go to trial and have to pay tlie court costs of the CLC and tlie tliree parties being sued," Janzen said. Harcourt has said that Janzen's fight is an attempt to break organized labour, but she says it is not. She is only trying to get her freedom of association and to be able to teach without becoming a union member. "I believe that teaching is an essential service and that they should not use the children as pawns in their bargaining dispute," she said. "When 35% of Please see*page 27...

The Hilda Reddick Memorial Service Award committee is seeking applicants for the trophy to recognize outstanding service to die community without regard for personal gain. The award is sponsored by die Aldergrove Kinsmen Club, Community Centre Society and The Star, and nominations are open until April 30. Spokesman Bruce Strongitharm said the community centre will have a wall dedicated to plaques honouring Aldergrove's winners of the Reddick awards as well as recipients of other local prizes such as die Pete Swensson and H.D. Stafford memorial awards. "We want to recogjtoe Aldergrove's community leaders," said Strongitharm. "There is so much being done here by volunteers out of a love for their neighbours, and we should promote diat." Of the Reddick award, Strongitharm said, "Hilda packed more into her few short years in Aldergrove than most do in a life time, running a business, raising a family and participating in hree or four community activities at any given time. Her ready wit, enthusiasm and energy serve as an example to us all." Reddick passed away in August 1990, and is survived by husband, Ron and five children. They had come to Canada from England in 1980, and Hilda had been owner-manager of Aldergrove Shoe Store, and during this time had been involved in the local Chamber of Commerce, Aldergrove Mall Merchants Association, Rose Queen Pageant, Aldergrove Fesdval Days Society, Aldergrove Agricultural Association and Aldergrove Revitalization Committee.

ZOO BOO BOO Apologies to our readers ALDERGROVE - The Star and writer Kurt Langmann wish to apologize to our readers and die Greater Vancouver Zoological Centre for an error in our March 15 edition, which has caused much embarrassment for all involved. Kurt Langmann accepts full responsibility for saying diat admission fees would be waived at Uie centre's spring break walkabout tours, and he wants readers to understand that at no time did Uie centre's spokespersons mislead him and no one should blame die centre for not being able to waive Uie fees. "The special guided tours were free of charge, not Uie admission fees," said Langmann. "It was a misunderstanding, and since the centre did not see the story before it was published, it's not fair to blame the centre. They were just as surprised as the public was, when carloads of our readers showed up Monday morning expecting free admission. "I feel awful... our readers count on us to be accurate and I let Uiem down. By Uie time I was aware of it, Monday afternoon, it was too late to do anydiing about it, Uie damage had been done." The admission fees of $7 to $9 each are reasonable costs, but The Star understands that large groups, widi youngsters in tow, didn't bring that kind of money along to spend, and the centre can't be expected to subsidize diem widiout prior arrangement, either. When The Star and die Game Farm sponsored a free day for Star readers ten years ago, former owners Hugh and Eleanor Oakes were overwhelmed by a turnout of several diousand Star readers with coupons in hand. "I've spoken with several of our readers who've kindly accepted my- apologies, but there are all the 'ycpngsters involved, who can't be expected to understand why Uiey were turned away. Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but when I make one thousands of people see it, and Uiis is definitely the worst blunder I've made in my 21 years here," said Langmann. "Again, I apologize, and I don't Tcnow how, but I'D try to think of a way to make it up to our readers." PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 \M NEWS?

The Royal Life Saving Society Canada hosted Toby and Johnny Friesen at a ceremony at Hotel Vincouver, Saturday. Toby, 11, and Johnny, nine, spied the three year old boy in the deep end of a hotel pool last August 25, and Johnny jumped in, swam down and shook the child, with no response. Toby shouted for help while Johnny put the child on his shoulders and brought him to die surface. The toddler was revived at pool- side and recovered fully after diree days in hospital. The Friesen youdis were delighted widi receiving one of 45 awards handed out, but Toby said, "Most of all, I'm glad (Uie child) had no brain damage or anything." Crematoria bylaw in works ALDERGROVE - The township gave second reading, Monday to its amendment to bylaws regarding accessory crematoria use by funeral homes. The bylaw defines funeral homes and funeral services, and in administrator Jim Godfrey's words, crematoria applications would be required to seek "site specific rezoning." Coun. Steve Burton said that because of concerns over the monopoly the bylaw would grant the Personal Alternative fu neral home and crematorium, the township should develop "guidelines" for crematoria applicants, "so we don't have to react to sittfc. ations." The new bylaw, once finalized, would have no effect on Personal Alternative's building now under construcUon, butjft has effectively stopped any new applications for crematoria. Counctiors agreed with Burton and have ordered staff to bring forward definitions and other criteria for crematoria. Chamber to move to park LANGLEY - Relocation of die Chamber of Commerce Info Centre at Langley Meadows Park was supported by township council this week. Coun. Muriel Arnason objected, saying she was "aghast" at die concept, even though Uie plan would incorporate new public washrooms and a caretaker suite for the public's benefit. "It's such a small park already," she said of the space to be taken by the small building. Coun. Mel Kositsky said "it's a good public/private partnership" that will mean "more safety" for Uie park users. "It's a very valuable community facility." ' Councilors agreed to the cost- sharing concept in principle, instructing staff to proceed widi the necessary legalities. Midwives to be legal VICTORIA - Midwives could be legally practicing in B.C. by next year, after HeaJUi Minister Paul Ramsay announced the establishment of Uie B.C. College of Midwives, last week. The new nine-member college will set standards of practice, develop a code of ethics and review public complaints. Midwives' services will also be publicly funded. Midwifery has historically been practiced throughout the world, but there was previously no legal status for it in B.C. Ramsay said the college will ensure that it is "safe, regulated and licensed," whether practiced in hospital or in the home. Family physicians generally favour midwifery as a practice but most prefer to see it in hospitals where emergency assistance is readily available in the event of complications. Ramsay said diere will be a demonstration project on home birth within Uie next couple of years, "not to decide whether home births should be allowed but to look at how they should be allowed." Dance to music of 32 Avenue ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Mall and the Aldergrove Festival Days Society have announced Uiat popular local band, 32nd Avenue, will perform Saturday night, June 10, at the Aldergrove Festival Days Dance. The dance is scheduled to be held from 9 pm to 1 am at the Aldergrove Mall, and will likely prove to be one of the most popular events of the Festival, held June 9 to 11. In keeping with the festival's "South Pacific" theme, the mall will be transformed into an exotic and colourful vacation spot for the evening, and special events and contests will reflect the dance's South Pacific theme. Other events that are currendy in the planning stages include a fireworks display, parade, soft-- ball tournament, tractor-pull and a family style picnic. Ideas, volunteers and participants for these events and other activities are welcomed, and all members of die community are encouraged to become involved in the planning of this year's Aldergrove Festival Days. The society's next meeting will be April 5 at 7 pm in the Aldergrove Elk's basement meeting room. For more information, contact Bob Long, Festival Days president, at 533-0053. ABBY TASK FORCE BUSY >..*-.,■',., Arsonists hit three more times ABBOTSFORD - The Arson Task Force has been hit widi three more suspicious fires this week, although two of them are considered unrelated to a serious string of fires at unoccupied dwellings over recent months that are believed to have been caused by one arsonist. Two fires on die. night of March 17-18 are considered isolated incidents. The first fire, 9:55 p.m., March 17, destroyed a bam that was at Uie rear of a home on Jackson Street destroyed by a: suspicious fire last year. The task force determined that there was evidence that children had been playing widi fire at Uie site, and that there have been previous reports of children playing Uiere. A neighbour had also recently lectured children . on die property about a fire they made in a metal container. ^St^E Then at 4:34 a.m., March 18, fire and police were dispatched to a fire alarm in a portable classroom at die rear of Abbotsford Senior Secondary School on Crescent Way.

She is trying to stop X from being adopted by a foster family, when her own family is willing to adopt her. Sinclaire knows what it's like to be "taken" by the Ministry of Social Services, having been a victim herself. up to public scrutiny the last few years, and changed some laws, but the one which states that no one working for the ministry can be held accountable for their actions, has not been changed. Sinclaire said it is this law must be changed, and that someone should be held accountable for all the lives ruined by the Ministry. The story really begins 51/2 years ago when her son and girlfriend of seven years had a baby. Amandah Sinclaire with 'X' during happier times. Her oldest son, the father of X, was also taken by the ministry. Sinclaire was in the hospital at the time, and he was under the care of a neighbor. It took her three days to find out where he was and get him back. Now he's dead, murdered last year, a victim of his 'street lifestyle,' resulting from being torn from his family and shuttled from foster home to foster home. Her other two kids are outstanding community members because, "I raised them myself," she said. The ministry has opened itself The modier, also a victim of the ministry, knew that because of her drugs/booze, prostitution and HIV status, that she couldnft properly carelQbr the child and signed a witnessed letter requesting Sinclaire, the natural grand- modier of die child be granted custody. Instead die ministry apprehended the child, placed her in foster care, and the nightmare began. At this moment Sinclaire doesn't even know if her monthly visits, that she had to fight for, are cut off yet. She does know diat die adoption is going through, die adoptive family is moving away and her visits will be cut off some time between now and June. "I don'r know when the adoption is taking place because they won't tell me. Of course they won't tell me where the family is moving to except off Vancouver Island, and I am really frustrated because they are taking away my dead son's only child." The Ministry of Social Services claims that X is a special needs child. She was originally believed to have HIV and cerebral palsy, but has miraculously 'recovered' into a healthy five year old girl. However, the foster family, and possibly the ministry, are trying to keep the special needs label on X for two reasons, according to Sinclaire. The first is that the ministry has decided that Sinclaire is not fit to raise a special needs child and, if the label is applied, die ministry will pay the foster family for her care. "They are sending her to a speech therapist because they claim she doesn't speak in sentences. I have several witnesses who have heard her speaking in full sentences on many occasions. One person even said that her vocabulary was outstanding for a five year old. It's all lies to keep the "special needs" label, because there is nothing wrong with diat litde girl." The ministry has decided, against their own word and advice, diat X should be formally 'adopted out' to die foster family, and the adoptive modier has stated that when die legalities are over that all visits widi family will be cut off undl die child is 19. Currently Sinclaire gets one supervised visit per month, to which she brings a Grandparents Rights volunteer as a witness, and the ministry sends a social worker. For a long time visits were restricted to the home of the foster family, but when die foster mother refused to have any more visits in her home, Sinclaire was allowed to take X odier places. "I have other grandchildren who come over, ride die horses, stay over night etc., but I cannot do diese diings in one, two-hour, controlled, supe»yised| ■ visit per month,"'she said. Sinclaire also says diat die home X is in is unsuitable, because as a foster home, the environment is a bad influence for a young girl. "The family has adopted a mentally handicapped girl, but the worst is die stream of angry foster kids coming through all the time. It's not a stable, and there is a potential for abuse. The foster modier is apparendy also unsuitable, according to Sinclaire, because she tells her lies about her family. • "I have witnesses to X telling me 'Mommy hates you, Granny. You lie," she said. Sinclaire says that she has tried to get along with the foster mother who is very difficult, and even has her on tape yelling and throwing her out of the house when she came to talk about die adoption. She (the foster mother) has also admitted to slapping her. "If the foster mother really cared, she would bend over backward to include family members in X's life, not call me a liar. What is that woman doing to her head?" At one hearing with the mediator Sinclaire told the foster mother that she wanted to hear the foster father's side of the story and get some input from him. She was angrily told by the foster mother that she's taking care of it. also says that she fully blame the foster Sinclaire has met the foster father only once, at a meeting four years ago. She has not even seen him since, and he has not attended any of the meetings or hearings. Sinclaire doesn't mother for the situation because she 'is also being played as a pawn in the ministry's game, although in disputes of any kind, the Ministry sides with the foster family. The ministry is playing all of us against each other, including the foster mother," she said. "She should never have been told by the ministry that she could adopt X. There have been other family members, including the maternal grandparents, also willing to adopt the child, and all of us have been told by various ministry workers that none of us wanted her, because of her special needs," she continued. "TTiat is an outright lie, because all of us are willing to take her. " "All I want is my granddaughter back with the family, because it is in her best interest to be raised by family. Tlie law must be changed and someone must be held responsible for what is happening and what has happened to my family, because it's tearing me apart. "I don't want anyone else. to have to go through what I'm going through." ElizAbETh Prest would like to iiwiTE (ier cHents TO SEE bER AT Si<MiNES Hajr STudio. i10p/ 1797- 152nd St. Rock, B.C.

MARCH 22,1995 IM TUBE WAR Why is common sense so uncommon in politicians? _*__!__*_.€>- By NIGEL HANNAFORD What would it take to put common sense back into government? Things happen sometimes and you think, "If you took die first 12 people you came across on die main street, explained die situation in simple terms, would diey make a better decision dian the people we pay to do it in Ottawa?" Sometimes, die only answer possible is "yes". Leave aside the whole issue of the national debt and housewife economics. Even the government now knows it screwed up, although it doesn't care to admit it. Leave, if you will even the amazing decisions of the parole board wliich regularly releases murderers to resume their killing or die potty grants handed out to organizations nobody has heard of to produce books, art or research diat nobody wants to read or look at. How, diougli, does our immigration department find it within its heart to give refugee status to a foreigner bearing die AIDS virus, who openly brags on the radio that he came to Canada for free treatment? These must have been die same people who let diat Somali warlord in, or die fellow who had been killing his fellow countrymen in Rwanda. Bizarre doesn't describe it but it"ll do for a start. The facts in diis case are that a 25-year-old Polish man was admitted to -.Canada following a decision by immigration officials. The man had claimed he was harassed and persecuted because of his sexual orientation and health condition. Interestingly, the ruling came after the federal court overturned an earlier board decision to deny the man status. Now, die man has died of his condition, in a Canadian hospital. What we now have to consider is what our policy might be. It's nice to be known as a compassionate, caring society. It is not nice to have a world-wide reputation as an easy touch. It is well known that it is quite hard for a foreigner to get into Canada to work. Ask anyone you know who employs people. They will confirm that when some bright chap from another country, a visitor, suggests he could go to work here, the rigmarole of getting him in here leaves both parties exhausted and seldom succeeds. On die odier hand, tell the board you're gay, diat people are picking on you and you're also HIV-positive, and somehow the gate swings and caring, compassionate Canada opens its wallet to you. Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi, responding to Reform MP Grant Hill's challenges on diis matter, says diat Canada will not be opening die doors to HIV- positive "refugees", which I suppose is somewhat reassuring. This one made it dirough and the world is full of sick people who would love our free healdi care system. , The folks who make these dumb decisions aren't necessarily bad people or even stupid people. They are out-of-touch- widi-reality people, diougli, whicli prompts me to the "ask die first 12 people you meet" remark. Obviously it's not offered as a serious suggestion - diougli it works well enough as a jury in criminal cases. Perhaps, however, the selection for diese immigration boards needs to be widened and the composition rotated more often. There's a lot of common sense on the streets - except in Ottawa. Move to return public flogging WASHINGTON - A movement to restore corporal punishment is sweeping America in the wake of die Republican takeover of Congress and the caning last year in Singapore of an American teenage vandal. Measures to restore caning are up for consideration in California and New York state. In Tennessee, state delegates plan to make the punishment a public spectacle on the courthouse steps. A young American named Michael Fay inadvertently set off the revolution last year, when he was caught spray painting in Singapore. He was sentenced to a fine and six lashes with a cane, reduced to four after President Bill Clinton intervened. Far from uniting in outrage at Fay's treatment, Americans decided the cane could be deployed at home. "Tlie intent is to create fear in criminals," said Tom Cameron, a leading pro hanging and flog-. ging Republican member of the Mississippi legislature. "I look at Singapore and you can walk all around the streets. If it works in Singapore, maybe it'll work here." Governor Kirk Fordice, who told voters he wanted to make Mississippi the "capital of capital punishment", is backing the move. The trend is strongest in the rural Deep South, where people are now affected by crimes previously associated with big cities. Black office holders are mainly opposed to reviving beatings. John Horn, of the Mississippi senate, said the campaign was "racist" and hearkening back to die days of slavery.

NDP faces growing attack VICTORIA - A turf war between public service staff and top NDP advisors over who should pay more dian $200,000 in unaudiorized bills has been exposed in a series of leaked intergovernmental memos. Copies of the memos were handed to reporters by the BC Reform Party. The Reformers had followed an electronic mail trail showing Premier Mike Harcourt's own in- house 'spin doctors' billed the forest ministry for diousands of dollars of public relations work behind the back of its own communications branch. "Their concerns were ignored by the premier's communications advisors in an extraordinary display of deliberate deception and contempt for fiscal control and accountability," said Refomi leader Jack Weisgerber. All of the unauthorized billings went to NOW Communications, a public relations firm set up by the New democrats' former .communications director, Ron Johnson, after the party gained power in 1991- Documents released by the Reformers a few days earlier showed NOW collected $5-mil- lion over the past three years for handling the premier's public relations, including Harcourt's television 'townhall meeting' earlier this year. The memos tell of struggles by Ministry of Forests communications brass to get Evan Lloyd, the deputy minister in charge of the Government Communications Office, and one of Harcourt's top strategists, to stop assigning ministry PR work to NOW without their approval. "\Xe cannot maintain financial control on a contract with NOW. We've tried to convince GCO to let us know when they are planning/making commitments but they have not seen fit to do that," Jim Challenger wrote in an October, 1994, memo to Laura Stringer, public affairs manager for the forests ministry. "Be forewarned that with the amount of money involved and the helter-skelter way things are done in the 'heat of the chase', we could end up in court very easily," he continued. The memos reveal that NOW originally had a $500,000 contract widi the forests ministry to publicize its Forests Renewal Plan and die new Forests Practices Code. But as the ministry reached the limit of its publicity budget for the two programs dear to Harcourt's heart, Lloyd's office kept assigning NOW more work, which the firm was expected to bill to the forests ministry. In a September 26, 1994, invoice to Challenger from NOW vice president Larry Huber, the company asked for $205,000 for work done after the expiration of its 1994 contract. Handwritten notes in the margins indicate that at least $175,000 of the invoiced items were assigned by the Government Communications Office. At the bottom of the invoice Huber commiserates with Challenger over the billing snafu. "\Cfe again seem to find ourselves in die position of trying to be responsive to requests for services without getting contractual commitments from the source of die requests," he wrote. In October, NOW's contract was extended to March 1995 and its value doubled to $l.l-million. The memos show Johnson billing $143,400 for his personal strategic advice at a rate of $200 Please see page 20 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR It's time to get tough Editor, The Star, Sir, University Information and Research is helping the Melanie Carpenter Campaign spread its message of concern and change in the criminal justice system. Mr. Carpenter appeared on die CTV talk show "Shirley" on Monday, March 20 to share his story of the brutal murder of his daughter, Melanie. During the station breaks there was a commercial aired promoting the new MELANIE (make every life an issue everywhere) help-line. The staff at CTV were wonderful in getting this commercial produced in under 24 hours, just three days before the show's airing date. I would like to ask your help in letting the rest of Canada know of the help-line by way of No criminals Editor, The Star, Sir, In response to those who blame all crime on gun owners, we have had gun control for over 60 years and crime still runs wild. They kill with knives, clubs, they kick people to death; you name it. Why? First, there is no real punishment. Jails are now resort hotels. Secondly, authoritists are unable or are otherwise not allowed to put a stop to drugs. Gun owners are not criminals like some seem to think. Get rid of the illegal drugs and you may again meander around Stanley Park at midnight and survive. TED HANSEN Aldergrove this press release from the campaign headquarters. It would be appreciated. The friends and family of Melanie are determined to change die legal system so we are safe on die streets. The rights Time for a change Editor, The Star, Sir, We at the MELANIE Campaign headquarters would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your coverage of the tragic story of Canada's daughter, Melanie Carpenter.

Bruins had the regular 2 games this week, with die first coming at home. The opponent Poco. There was no scoring in die first, but good action at either- end. Poco seemed to have the edge in play though, with their aggressive defense keeping Aldergrove at bay, but the home team managed to get a few chances. And diey capitalized on a chance for the only goal of die second period, coming at 5:59. Parker MacDonald shoved the puck toward off die face off into die Poco zone. He wove through the defensemen then deked die goalie out of his skates before putting it in for a 1-0 Aldergrove lead. It was a good goal, and die only one of die second, as Aldergrove headed into die diird widi a 1-0 lead. Aldergrove increased dieir lead at 7:56 of die diird when Joe Hogan flipped a pass to Greg Neufeld near his own blue line. He swung over to the left side of the ice, shot down that side, deked around die defense and then swept in sharply on die star- ded goalie and dien tucked it un- • derneadi him. It was anodier great goal! and it put the home team up 2-0. Aldergrove goalie Will Parley was having a good, solid night in net, but was finally beaten with 1:53 left in the 3rd.

ASK 1 ANNABELLE My dear Annabelle, It is my sad duty to inform you that our mutual friend, John Kirkwood, closed his umbrella- on Saturday morning. Or in the parlance of today's society, passed away. John, as you know, was only 62 years old but die wisdom he attained was closer to 200 years. I remember meeting John for the first time at the Ship Inn in Hong Kong. He was the correspondent for die Sun newspaper. Many is the pint of nut-brown ale we consumed at diose premises. A few years later I again ran into John as I was serving with die troops in Viet Nam during the bloody war. lt was at the H.Q. diere diat he was listening to the short-wave radio from die American States and heard about Hurricane Hugo. The announcer was saying, "die hurricane hit the State of Florida with a huge wallop." ' It was then that I (Hugo Wallop) received my nickname, "Hugo (Huge) Wallop" and have been known by it ever since. John Kirkwood was a man of many colours, die best of wliich was his ability to annoy people, most of whom later became his best friends. Widi die exception of one time at a party hosted by his one-time girlfriend in her apartment in Riclimond, after he had returned to Vancouver. It seems that John had looked too long upon the red wine and after a few hours (or was it minutes) he managed to spill his glass of red wine on her white carpet and Wealth ^ V Municipal Clerk TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY Rod Edwards Telephone: 533-6034 12-2 By JULIE EDWARDS Recently I was discussing investment strategies with an Aldergrove Couple who were trying to reduce the amount of taxes they pay on investment income. They were particularly dismayed that a bond they had purchased from a bank two years ago, advertised as a guaranteed rate of 8%, actually yielded only 4% after their taxes were applied. They felt they had been misled, but I reminded them that what diey should really be looking for is an investment that yields the best After Tax Yield. We discussed the different types of bonds and the different ways they are taxed. This couple had purchased a GIC at par ($100) that paid interest twice a year and yielded 8% annually. Since the income from this bond was entirely interest, it was taxed as one would expect - at the couples' marginal income tax rate. I then showed them a perfecdy legitimate and legal way of keeping more of the returns from their bonds than expected, diereby increasing their after-tax yield. To do this, I explained, they need to purchase bonds diat contribute income dirough capital gains, rather than tiirough interest. These are called discount bonds, and offer the same safety and semi-annual payments as GIC's or odier regular bonds. The dif ference is that in addition to paying par value for your money, they also pay a capital gains component which is taxed at a preferential rate. The couple looked a litde confused, so I calculated a real example. Rates are for illustration purposes only. I compared dieir bank GIC to a better quality Province of British Columbia 5.40% January 18, 1999 bond selling for a price of $ 90.75 to yield 8.25%. Their after-tax yield, taking into account the $ 925 capital gains, works out to be 4.50%. They would have to buy a 4 year GIC with a rate of 9% to generate the same yield for their money. This is because only 75% of die capital gains is taxable at their marginal tax rate. They now understand how to use tax rules to work in dieir favour and were amazed at how much money they would have earned had they not gone after the supposedly better return.

At one time, (and I still digress, a habit that comes with old age) I met John in Hong Kong at the Ship Inn and when closing time came at us we left to catch the bus to his digs. The bus had no driver; that honourable person had stopped for tea before keeping up with his schedule. On we hopped and because the passengers were in a hurry to be home at that time of night, John took over the driving of the bus. We travelled several miles before we were stopped by the police and after I had bailed John out of jail we managed to get home by taxi. Many more adventures lurk in my brain but I shall keep diem safe until I write my autobiography- Although many people considered John Knox Kirkwood an an - noying litde man, we who knew him loved him and thought he was, perhaps, not so annoying but right in his dioughts and writings, especially his writings in the Vancouver Courier, where he wrote for many years. Where could you find a more common touch than in the essays he provided for die Courier? And so, diere is a brief story of a man, larger dian life, and that has been said of many men, but now John Knox Kirkwood joins diem in history. Yours faidifully Hugo (Huge, thanks to J. Kirkwood) Wallop. (Ret.) Dear Huge, Thank you. We knew about John's passing from his sister Pat. We were very sad but not so much after we had diought of all his litde peccadilloes and habits. He stayed widi us at least once a mondi (I was always worried that he didn't eat properly and fed him well when he was here). He attended our barbecue parties and always wrote about it in his column in the Courier, referring to my husband as "die Squire" and me as the Squire's good Lady wife person. We shall miss him and his sometimes annoying ways. But miss him we will. May flights of angels take him to his well-deserved vacation widi pay. The rest is silence.

The LAC directors struck a committee early this year to take a look at whether the tree logo should be maintained or a new logo developed. A call for submissions went out to local colleges, high schools and the arts community. At die unveiling, LAC director Tom Turner said that the Arts Council "had an enthusiastic response, and we had over 20 submissions to choose from. We had a number of submissions from artists in the community, as well as from local high schools." The winning design was one of three logos submitted by Brookswood Secondary student Scott Underwood. The Grade 12 arts student said that the design "shows the areas die Arts Council is associated with" and how "the different categories are connected, showing they all come from a central point". Scott was on hand at the unveiling to accept a $ 50. honorarium from the Arts Council. Turner, vice principal at Langley Fine Arts Schools, said that the submissions were excellent, the decision was tough, but the new design was the overwhelming choice of the Arts Council directors. The previous logo, a stylized tree, was the second choice. Arts Council president, Marilyn Tecklenborg referred to the new logo as "an excellent choice as the hand is so symbolic to the arts. Our new logo is one Uiat will take us into the next century." North County Line residents were entertained with movie crews at work on a sequel to Wedlock called Deadlock 2 last week. The crews, along with SWBC Rail workers, had a train engine and cars going back and forth ail day long under the bridge, readying for stunt persons (left and above) who leaped atop the train around midnight on March 7. This was followed by filming of a chase atop the cars, which went till eariy morning daylight. The stunt persons were standing in for Hollywood stars Neah Peoples and Esai Moralli (below) who performed the less dangerous scenes at the site. The movie is described as quite the gore- fest, with plane and car crashes, exploding heads and more, and Pacific Motion Pictures expects we'll see it on pay TV later this year. - Janet Blair photos GUITAR LESSONS All styles, all ages.

MARCHI,-1895 ROCKIN' AFTER MIDNIGHT By KURT LANGMANN For readers who've been calling about tickets for tlie Barra McNeils at Matsqui Centennial Theatre on March 31, Ticketmaster in Sevenoaks has them (show sponsors are Gladwin Heights Church). Tlie Star will be publishing an interview with Stewart McNeil in next Week's edition. Lyle; Lovett and REM's drum- merTJill. Berry are both recovering and their respective concerts are both confirmed. Lovett, who broke an arm while dirt biking with his father in Texas, is set for the QE Theatre on April 15 (tickets for the original show date will be honoured) along with his Acoustic Quintet. His last show here was delightful. REM, who I haven't seen since they played the Commodore a dozen years ago, are still doing their May 10 Coliseum show, as Berry, 3o, is healed after surgery on his brain hemorrhage in Switzerland. Their North American tour starts May 5, but the European leg was cancelled after Berry grabbed his head in pain, 90 minutes into a concert in Lausanne in March. Patrick Harrington, aka Sonny, is booking acoustic singer-songwriters as well as hosting open stages, every Saturday evening from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at St. Regis. Hotel's Treehouse Lounge. The grand opening is April 1, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., featuring a great bill of four: Chris Houston and Evil Twang, Harold Nix Band, Georgina Taylor and Veda Hille. They're all worth catching, but I especially recommend Hille (a former Langleyite) whose piano playing and compositions are somewhere in outer space with tlie late Sun Ra. Wild ideas and cool vocals, too. It's also barn-raiser time again, with Laurie Thain's sixth annual fundraising dinner dance for Fraser Valley Child Development' Centre coming to Matsqui Ag-Rec Centre, April 22. This year's lineup includes Thain, Rocky Swanson, Curtis Blayne, along with line dancing demo and lessons. Tickets are $20, call 852- 26^, 873-1.865 or 793-0103. Music Ws^st returns May 11-14, with three nights of festival concerts, Slam City Jam, high school programming, die music trade show and conferences and some new features. Drummers will enjoy Celebration of Rhydim while guitarists rave at Star Frets. More on the new music t«echnol- ogy aspects and tlie Internet next time. New releases of note: I Love Everybody by Lyle Lovett (MCA) is another classic from the long Texan. With 18 songs, gathered from throughout his career but never before released, its acoustic sound augers well for his upcoming concert here. Lovett doesn't get a lot of radio play, but Canadians buy his albums anyway (the last three of four albums sold gold, 50,000 copies here). His dry humour and delivery are unique and the sense of the bizarre runs through songs lik Penguins, Creeps Like Me, Fat Babies and my favourite, Record Lady. A Tribute to Berry Gordy by various artists (Motown) are songs either written by, or inspired by the founder of the Detroit soul label. With stalwarts like Smokey Robinson (Did You Know), Diana Ross Ofou've Made Me So Very Happy), Temptations (Do You Love Me), Four Tops (I'll Be There), the Supremes (We Couldn't Gt Along Without You), Stevie Wonder (All In Love Is Fair) and more it smokes tlie new competition. The highlight is tlie late Jackie Wilson's Lonely Teardrops/To Be Loved, Gordy's first breakthrough over 30 years ago. Buddy Guy paired with Sonny Landreth at the Commodore, April 15, are a guitar matchup sure to please. Weezer is tlie name of the band and album (MCA) that's hard to pigeonhole but huge among youths (witness their sellout of an all-ages Commodore show). Recorded with the help of ex- Cars leader Ric Ocasek, it's not conventional pop, but has certainly become "pop" with a punk edge to it. Buddy Holly is the big hit but by the time we're sick of hearing it played to deadi, radio stations will find odier gems to list: In Tlie Garage and Holiday are at the top of my list. Hell Freezes Over by die Eagles (MCA) is likely a pretty good sampling of what fans can expect to hear next week at die Coliseum (March 27-28). It has some of die hits (Take It Easy,' Hotel California) but doesn't rely on a greatest hits type package and features four new songs as well. Those glorious harmonies and solid songs explain why die band has been selling 1.5-million records a year since diey disbanded in 1980, and both the Common Thread tribute and diis new release will only boost these figures.

LANGLEY - A frustrated Forest Hills resident told the township Monday that she's been getting the runaround for a year now, over her complaint about a mess at a neighbouring abandoned house. Pam Yearwood said the government should simply clean it up, even bulldoze the house, and send the bill to the owners. "I'm not going away till something is done." Administrator Jim Godfrey told council diat diey had acted on Yearwood's complaint last year and assumed that the owner was cooperating voluntarily because there was an improvement, until the complaint came back and dieir research showed that die property had changed hands. Godfrey said they would take it up with the new owner and if nothing is done, diey can send a crew in to "remedy the situation." Council pointed out to Year- wood that heavyhanded measures are "a difficult problem" in that they'd lost other similar court cases. "We have to explore other ways," remarked mayor John Scholtens. Action on child safety LANGLEY - Businesses here are taking action on the safety of Langley's children. On two evenings, March 28 and April 4, a group of people from local businesses and volunteer service groups will learn about child abuse prevention. Langley is once again a leader by being die first community in B.C. to offer a program created specifically for business people and volunteer service groups. The two seminars will cover practical topics such as hiring techniques, house rules, criminal record checks and other ways to increase child safety diroughout die community. The program is die result of a partnership between the Township of Langley and the Langley Chamber of Commerce, with assistance from Langley Family Services and Langley School District #35- The seminar will be delivered by the Red Cross' Child Abuse Prevention Program for Adolescents. Fun-ding for developing and presenting the program has been provided by die United Way of Greater Vancouver. The program also has the support of the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Over the past year, as part of its child safety program, the Township of Langley has expanded its own screening procedures and training programs for staff and volunteers who are in regular contact with children. Now die Township is sharing its expertise with the business and. volunteer sectors of the community to extend the safety network. While diis program is of greatest relevance to businesses and volunteer groups diat are direcdy involved with diildren, it does provide practical advice that would be helpful to any business or organization when dealing with a number of situations that typically arise. This two-evening program will be held from 7-9 pm on Tuesday, March 28 and Tuesday, April 4 at the ABC Restaurant in Langley. The cost of die program is $ 30 per person, which includes a' light meal, a variety of handout materials and a certificate of participation. Limited seating is available. To register, call the Langley- Chamber of Commerce at 530-6656.

Substantial cash awards will be presented to winners, and all winning entries will be published in a book whicli will be widely distributed throughout the province. Student submissions to die contest already have been received and judging has been concluded. "The number of entries has almost doubled.

We can now give the winners appropriate recognition and build this contest into an important part of the school year," said BCETA president Sylvia Jones. GV building stay above $3-billion BURNABY - For the seventh straight year Greater \&ncouver municipalities in 1994 issued building permits worth more than $ 3-billion.

The one-year record of $ 35-billion was set in 1992. The total covers all forms of construction including residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional. Langley township's total dropped from $ 172-million to $ 164-million last year, while Langley city's dropped from $ 6l.3-million to $ 4l.8-million last year.

Politically correct hugging LONDON - The 'non-threatening hug' was demonstrated recently at a workshop at a Green Party conference in Britain. Instead of the full frontal embrace, which the party regards as menacing and sexually predatO; ry, the Green hug is altogether more gende and supportive. A 'how-to-hug' leaflet will follow for those who could not attend die weekend workshop in southwest England. The initial touch should be applied to the shoulders or the middle of the back - definitely not to the waist (too sexual) or the heads (too patronizing). Next, an arm is placed around die shoulders, applied only from the side. It may be enhanced by a light yet affectionate squeeze. The final phase is the embrace from die front without the bodies touching.

Fort water contaminated FORT LANGLEY - A recent hy- drologist's report on water contamination in this village said that while municipal wells have not been adversely affected, there are a handful of private wells that are near or above Canadian standards for nitrate content. Tlie Piteau Associates study was ordered by the township as part of its ongoing debate over sewerage service to the community, which is divided on whether it wants or can afford the service. Coun. Trudi Campen, observing that both sides feel strongly about the issue, said the township should do more than just a random phone survey. "There's only about 2,500 people involved. We should hold open houses." Coun. Muriel Arnason said there's no money in the budget to bring sewers into the town, and that two businessmen who have petitioned for sewers "are not a large delegation. The groundwater study is not all that negative. We owe it to the community to hold a referendum." "A litde pollution is like saying you're a litde pregnant," countered coun. Steve Burton. "There's a problem in a certain area; we have to look into rectifying it." Councilors agreed to follow staff recommendations to publicize the groundwater-septic tank impact study with a bulletin sent to residents, followed by a public opinion survey. "We're still open to doing more," noted Burton. "We're not limited to tonight's decision." Reform opens office ABBOTSFORD - Buoyed by die recendy announced public opinion polls, Abbots-ford members of the Reform Party of BriUsh Columbia have recendy opened an office, in preparation ' for die expected provincial by- election. The office is located in downtown Abbotsford, at 2469 Montrose Avenue. "It's not a fancy place, but we rely solely on volunteers, and diis place is more than adequate. It will serve us well,," stated Ray Feenstra, constituency president. The February poll by Mark- trend showed that BC Reform support had increased to 34%, right alongside the Liberals, widi die NDP steady over the past diree months at 25%. This shows a 5% increase for the BC Reform, and a 5% decrease for the Liberals over die previous month. It is expected that a by-election will soon be called for diis constituency. The Abbotsford seat was vacated by Harry Dejong on November 1. The government is obligated to fill die vacancy by setting a date by April 20, 1995- "Since Harcourt has now backed off the idea of calling a provincial election, we expect him to set the date any day now," said Feenstra. BC Reform has called its nomi-' nation meeting for Monday, April 3. To date, three BC Reform members have stated their intention to seek the nomination.

He's got some bad press. \Cfe must remember our previous government, the decent, good ol' Socreds, where they led us. I think they're just making a lot of static to cover up some of their past goodies. I think the people are being misled a lot by the press...it's a little slanted. ^Xfe're all innocent until proven guilty, this doesn't seem to be what's taking place. Tony Bonderchuck: Short because of all his conflict of interest charges. He ran his election against Vander Zalm and his conflict of interest and he's doing tlie same stuff, so he's done for too. Todd Nelson: Say "Goodbye", I think he's gone. I don't like the conflict of interest allegations against him and I think Gordon Campbell would make a better leader. Linda Devitt: The way he's going he doesn't have much of a future. He's really screwing up and people are getting fed up with it. He's being caught in a lot of lies. ALC to decide LANGLEY - The township gave its endorsement to Philip and Beryl Oram's subdivision application to the Agricultural Land Commission. The 95 acres at 3636-254 Street would be split into two if approved by the ALC, as the township's rural plan designation and zoning allows minimum lot sizes of 4.2 a<_res in that area. Hospice hopes for new north Langley home THE ALPEFfcftOVE STAfi, MARCH 22,1995 17 LANGLEY - Hospice Society's executive director, Kay Johnson told the township that their plans for a four to ten bed facility for the dying may have land granted to them by either tlie Shepherd of the Valley church or Salvation Army Youth Centre in northwest Langley. "By the time you're installing sewers there we'll be ready to plug in the toilets," she said,- beaming. She gave council copies of the society's 63-page business plan which has been developed over the past year. She added that an offer of land near Langley Memorial Hospital had fallen through, but a more "pastoral" location was preferred for their "holistic approach" to caring for the terminally ill. "Hospices, are not usually attached to a hospital." The society, established in 1983, has 70 trained volunteers who provided care for 1,000 dying people and bereaving families last year. "We provide 4,000 hours of services monthly, and we're cost-effective," said Johnson. Johnson said a hospice facility would only cost $200 a day per bed, compared to $600 to $1,000 for hospital care.

Township council clarifies 1995 utility billings decision LANGLEY - To help alleviate the concerns expressed by many people over the unexpected receipt of separate utility bills for tlie 1995 taxation year, township council has implemented tlie following changes: • The penalty date has been moved from March 31, 1995 to July 4, 1995. Tlie 10% penalty will only apply to those bills not paid by July 4, 1995 • A 5% discount will be provided for those bills paid prior to or on March 31, 1995. If tlie bill has already been paid, the discount will be credited to the tax account. • For those bills paid between April 1, 1995 and July 4, 1995, an interest rate of 1% per month from the date of payment to July 4th will be credited to the tax account. Some residents have expressed an interest in paying early or alternatively, having their property taxes paid automatically by monthly pre-authorized charges from their bank account. If anyone is interested in tax payment on the instalment plan or wants more information about their utility billing, contact the collections department at 533-6005. Council has taken note of die comments received from many residents and has taken the foregoing action to remove the inconvenience that may have been caused as a result of receiving the unanticipated separate billing radier than having it included as part of the annual property tax notice. &4 KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS CHARITY APPEAL 1994-95 WINNERS 1st Prize: MINTVAN Kulwant Singh Pandhi, Pr.

Although floods can and do happen at any time of year, many parts of Canada are particularly vulnerable to spring flooding caused- by combinations of prolonged rainfall, rapid thawing of snow and ice, ice jams on fast- flowing rivers and unseasonably mild temperatures. Usually, there is at least some warning before such conditions result in major flooding. On the other hand, flash floods — as the name implies — start with little warning and the waters subside as quickly as they rose. Such flooding often accompany violent stomas, hurricanes, dam bursts, earthquakes and torrential rainfalls. A broken water main can sometimes have the same effect. Flooding, however caused, costs Canadians millions of dollars annually and often brings grief and hardship to those whose possessions, homes and property are destroyed or damaged. We all have a basic responsibility to protert and prepare ourselves, our family and our property in the event a flood or other potential disaster threatens. The following is some advice from Emergency Preparedness Canada, The Aldergrove area is in urgent need of Big Brothers. Touch the future - Touch a life. Be a Big Brother. A Big Brother spends a few hours each week offering friendship to a boy from a lone-parent family.

Rev. Paul Phillips Weekday School Thurs., 7 pm Worship Service Sun., 10:30 am tlie federal government organization responsible for promoting preparedness for all kinds of emergencies: If a flood threatens: • Do what you can to prepare and protect your home and property from the effects of flooding, such as moving electrical appliances, books, documents and valuables to higher ground and/or protecting them with plastic. • Remove potential toxic pollutants such as pesticides and chemicals out of the basement and garage and off the ground, to where they are not likely to mix with and contaminate flood- waters. • Be prepared to stay in your home without electricity for a prolonged period. Prepare a supply of food, water and other necessities. • Have a battery-powered radio, a flashlight and spare batteries. • Be prepared to evacuate your home on short notice. Assemble appropriate food, clothing, footwear, documents, medication and other essentials to take with you. • Keep sufficient gas in your vehicle so you can try to drive out of the danger area, if advised to do so by emergency officials. • Be prepared to shut off the electricity and gas supply in your home, if the utility company has not already done so. During a flood: • Keep a battery-powered radio with you at all times - or tune in the car radio — so you can listen to emergency instructions on a local radio station. • If evacuating by car and the motor stalls in a flooded area, abandon the vehicle immediately and seek refuge on higher ground. "Vou risk endangering your life by staying with a stalled vehicle in rapidly rising floodwaters. • Do not attempt to shut off the electricity in an already flooded building. "Vbu risk electrocution. After tlie flood: • Do not re-occupy a flooded home or building until there is a safe water supply and a satisfactory system to dispose of sewage and garbage. • If, when you return, the basement is still full of flood water, drain it in stages - about a third of the volume of water per day. This will help avoid structural damage which can happen if the water is removed too quickly. • \fater in a flooded basement should be disinfected every three or four days — if the house is occupied - by adding liquid bleach to the standing water. • Make sure all heating systems, electrical appliances and wiring touched by the floodwater are checked by a qualified technician before using them again. • Dispose of all cosmetics, medicines, toiletries, food in boxes, contents of the refrigerator and freezer that have been in contact with floodwaters. Also dispose of food in jars and bottles if floodwaters could have seeped in or contaminated the seals.

Without proper fiscal controls, we'll never know," the Reform leader said. His party has asked Auditor- General George Morfitt to investigate. Lloyd told the press that his agency had never done anything deceitful or improper. The cost of publicizing the two forest programs was always supposed to be split among the "environment ministry, his office and the forests ministry with the latter, for simplicity's sake, paying all the bills. "This came up when the people at the forests ministry got concerned because the money ■was slow in coming from the environment ministry. I don't believe the guy (Challenger) was even aware of the arrangement," Lloyd said. The Liberals also released documents which, they claimed, showed Employment and Investment Minister Glen Clark gave two contracts worth $190,000 to NOW Communications in 1993, without tendering. Liberal MLA Gary Farrell- Collins (Aldergrove-Fort Langley) said this violated the premier's 1991 campaign promise to tender all public contracts. "Glen Clark has been caught red-handed violating the tendering process," Farrell-Collins said. *JRA EVEWEAR SELECTION SYSTEM Eyewear for the whole family from Tura, the most complimented eyewear in the world. m UNITED OPTICAL 859-7115 'YOUR EYEWEAR PROFESSIONALS" CLEARBROOK TOWN SQUARE 32500 South Fraser Way, Clearbrook Brothers, Big Sisters A not-for-profit organization that needs your help!

Fifteen volunteers have been working Mondays diroughout die winter mondis and many days in between, preparing new exhibits and restoring farm equipment. The wooden Dempster windmill has been powered by an electric motor through a reduction gear to lift water from die lower floor by way of a jack pump to a tank on the main floor. Part of the flow returns to the tank while another part of the flow is delivered to a hydraulic ram which in turn lifts water up two stories to power a small water wheel. The buggy collection will be displayed on a raised platform with other exhibits below. The Tired Iron crew have restored a three-wheel David Bradley row crop tractor ready for the Fort Langley May Day parade, and are currendy restoring a 1929 Minneapolis tractor. A recendy restored Farmall International tractor is also ready to make its debut on May Day. A restored log boring machine and turning lathe, first used to make the wooden pipe used in laying irrigation water on the upper Arrow Lakes bencliland will be working on opening day. Similar machines were used to manufacture wooden water pipe in towns like New V(festminster, Hope and Quesnel. The front entrance has been spruced up widi a new paint job and new shingles. The ladies have been busy craeting a farm kitchen display near the entrance to entice passersby into the museum. The museum is entirely operated by volunteers and has to depend on admission fees to pay die bills and keep die doors open. Widiout tlie Langley Township government grant in lieu of taxes annually, it would be impossible to remain open and expand their exhibits and restoration projects. The museum directors encourage school tours by appointment. They also invite volunteers to join them in'work projects once a week or month. Those interested should call Bessie Shuman at sSsSsS-4779.

Canadian citizens are functionally illiterate, it is unconscionable as professionals to withdraw services." The LTA wanted a 100% closed shop and that is what they got, by pressuring the board into helping them. When the whole tiling started she had prepared herself, knowing that the union would probably back tlie board into a corner. She said there was a tacit agreement that if tlie board didn't meet the union's demands they would shut down all schools, a risk they could not afford to take. She understand tlie board's and die union's stances, and doesn't blame anyone specific for her dismissal, but says it could have been handled better. "The situation is a war, and in all wars there are casualties. They could have been more apologetic and understanding about it," she said. Janzen prepared herself for the possibility of losing her job by opening up a tutoring clinic during die summer of 1990. She kept it going by working with students on weekends and when she was finally fired, it became her full-time career. "For a while I was teaching at Shortreed Elementary during die week and at die clinic on Saturdays, trying to get enough students to make this a full- Obituaries BEGGS - Passed away at M.S.A.

Currendy she has about 45 students enrolled in various courses in Math, English, French, English as a Second Language, and odier classes. She also has 10 student teachers, from Trinity Western and Simon Fraser Universities, in dieir third year of education, working as assistants and trying to increase their chances of being accepted into the professional development program. Janzen herself is highly educated, having a Bachelor of Education Degree from UBC and a Masters in Teaching Exceptional Children and a Masters in Elementary Administration from Western Washington University. "I like having control over the running of the clinic without having to cater to anyone except the needs of the students and parents." The children vary from the exceptionally bright to the learning disabled and everydiing in be- • tween. "Some diildren are very gifted in some areas and a little slower in others, so we concentrate on what they need." Each student is assessed when they come to die clinic, with a learning style inventory and dien each student is set up an individual plan designed for dieir needs, and a copy of the assessment is given to parents. * Some students come for a month, and some come for years if they need the help. For now Janzen hopes to proceed with her court case, and she hopes that Harcourt will listen to her plea and change the laws. The National Citizens' Coalition is helping her with her case but they cannot afford to lose to die . CLC either "Until the laws are changed I cannot proceed because I can't risk the millions of dollars involved. "I hope not only for my sake but for odiers as well diat I can proceed widi my case. It's not just teachers but people across Canada in all walks of life that are forced to unionise as a condition of employment, where they may not want to." Janzen said it will take a long time before she may be able to get her job back, at which time she will be close to retirement age, but die fight is not just for her, it's for everyone to practice their rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as set by the federal government.
