Regular passenger service on 737 jets begins June 18 from Abbotsford Airport to Calgary and Edmonton, and along with convenience and free parking, customers also get bargain airfares of $69 to $79. Westjet Airlines' chairman and CEO, Clive Beddoe told a Tuesday morning news conference that service to Abbotsford would begin with eleven weekly flights to these two destinations, and he expected service to expand quickly. Abbotsford is the first new scheduled jet carrier destination in Canada in almost 20 years. Beddoe said the company was launched Feb. 29, 1996, and in the past year has grown from three aircraft with 220 employees and 96 weekly flights, to five aircraft with 450 employees and 279 weekly flights. Westjet posted a first year profit while lowering airfares up to 70 percent below traditional charges, and has flown almost 900,000 passengers. Beddoe said the company's success is due to a low debdoad, and it owns all the aircraft it uses. Westjet will employ six full- time staff at Abbotsford Airport, and will generate revenues for the airport now owned by the city of Abbotsford, but mayor George Ferguson said he's most excited by die spinoffs and the new businesses, such as car rental agencies, the service will attract. "Council would like to see a nice hotel at the Mount Lehman interchange," he told The Star, adding that a new entrance to the airport will be built at Huntingdon Road, as well. Ron Price, chair of the newly appointed Abbotsford Airport Commission, said, "We are very pleased to have passenger service commence so soon after the city took over the airport.

The objectives of the 1997-98 budget have been met and are in accordance with the district's principles of budget decision making which include: preserving excellence in education by focusing on the K-12 system; recognizing the value of all employees and putting things before people in budget decisions and; embarking on a strategic planning process to be completed before 1998-99 35th Walk in Aldergrove ALDERGROVE - The 35th annual Langley Walk is almost here!

Because Langley School District is decentralized, each school will be affected differently by the cuts. Reductions have been achieved by: reducing allocations to programs to more closely reflect revenues from other levels of government; reducing ESL allocations at the secondary level and reducing supplementary support for French Immersion and other language programs; reducing funds for Career and Personal Planning (which will affect secondary schools); reducing capital allocations to schools to $20 per student from $24 and; a per pupil funding cut of $27 for elementary schools and $20 for secondary schools. The effects of these cuts will not be known for about two weeks, when individual schools work through their budgets. It is predicted that there will be a reduction in supplies and equipment, and programs with low enrolment will be lost. Centralized services reductions have been achieved by: a onetime reduction of stores inventory and a local capital reduction; a one-time use of International Student Program profits to support operating accounts of $220,000; reducing the equipment repair budget by $40,000; reducing wages and salaries due to the elimination of 12 positions (including 7 CUPE members and 5 excluded staff members) and; Please see back page... Serial arsons hit city ABBOTSFORD -Police were kept busy with at least four arsons on Wednesday, April 19. The first was just after 11 p.m, when emergency crews were called to the Abbotsford court house to discover one of the doors had been set on fire. Another three fires happened just before 4 a.m. in the area of the 33700 block of South Fraser Way, where three cars had been set on fire within minutes of each other. In all cases the suspect(s) stole items from the vehicles before torching them. In another incident on Sunday, April 20, police and fire crews from three halls were called to a structure fire at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There were no injuries reported in the blaze, which heavily damaged the building, and the cause has yet to be determined. Police are investigating all of these fires and anyone with information is asked to call Abbotsford police at 859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 855-TIPS(8477). Residents are also advised to be alert for suspicious activity around their neighbourhood and to call 911 to report anything out of the ordinary. Gaming to referendum ABBOTSFORD - City councillors are unanimously opposed to a destination casino in the city, but have decided that the most democratic and comprehensive way to deal with the issue is a city-wide referendum. Council had directed that a referendum be conducted as soon as possible, since the issue has resulted in strong opinions from both sides of the debate. The provincial government has stated that it will consult with affected communities before approving casinos, and referendum results will be a good indication as to whether residents of Abbotsford want a casino or not.

Bill Viney, general manager, and Andrew Hobbs, manager of wood preservation division, were on hand to answer the public's questions. The plan is to relocate all operations to Aldergrove, but the wood preservation aspect must first meet all criteria of the new provincial environmental assessment act Hobbs said the present wood preserving facility, next to the Fraser River, is only ten years old and was state of the ait design at that time, but 1681(1011181 development of Lulu Island is forcing all industry there to relocate. Taiga's distribution centre is also on the 11 acres they have there, which ships a wide variety of lumber, treated, sawn and kiln-dried, as well as moldings, nails, plywood, insulation and other construction materials^ "We are in the 'due diligence' process, which should take three to five months," said Hobbs. If all goes well. Taiga hopes to have their new wood-preservation plant built by next spring, followed shortly by the distribution centre, which will ship materials directly to building supply retailers on the 'just in time1 practice. Hobbs said the new plant will use the latest technology and equipment to operate safely with a . closed system. The design calls for 100 percent recycling of all chemicals, and zero discharge to the environment or the sewage lines. Rainwater in the area, where the treated wood drips dry, is also collected and used for processing successive batches of treated wood. Hobbs added that wood preservation is also favored by government and environmentalists, because its long life means less trees need be cut Taiga will bring about 40 jobs to the new facility, two shifts daily, as well as trucking work. About 20 shipments are made daily. Annual payroll is about $1.3-million and property taxes would be about $60,000. Construction costs are expected to be about $500,000, while total capital costs are $5-million. The company spends about $20- million annually on supplies and services. Good advice to the public ALDERGROVE - A spokesman for the local food bank said a recent appeal for donations by the B.C. Food Bank Association is not helping the food banks in Aldergrove, Langley or Abbotsford. Valerie MacLean at die Better Business Bureau told The Star that she's been advised by food banks in Vancouver and Langley that, while the B.C. Food Bank Association is a registered non profit society, "they are not affiliated or connected with the B.C. Association of Food Banks." The latter organization is a loosekint coalition of established food banks which never got around to registering their name. "I was told that food banks do not go door to door canvassing or do telemarketing," said MacLean. "My advice is never to give cash to canvassers, and never give over the phone." fjj^eaturing WeightWatchers New FREEDOM™ PLAN Pay only the low $12 weekly fee.

Higher taxes cut into jobs VICTORIA - More forest jobs will be lost if the NDP government follows through on its decision to raise property taxes on sawmills, charged BC Liberal municipal affairs critic George Abbott. "The NDP has already increased forest sector costs by 75%, and now they want to increase property taxes," said Abbott "The bottom line is that higher NDP property taxes will mean fewer jobs for forest workers and the communities that depend on them.*' The BC Assessment Authority's new sawmill assessment manual for 1998 has included sawmill equipment in property assessments, resulting in increases of as much as 107% per sawmill. The new assessment manual will cause an increase of $180- million in the taxable value of sawmills. Pope & Talbot Ltd.'s sawmills in Castlegar, Grand Forks and Midway, for example, will see their assessment go up by $6.8-million. Abbott noted that this comes on the heels of a study which shows that logging costs have grown by 75% under the NDP. More than 5300 forest workers lost their jobs last year. "The government has been exempting machinery and equip- ment since 1984 in order to encourage investment," said Abbott. "Now this tax grab by a desperate NDP government will drive even more investment out of BC's forest sector." ^^tea^-V-fifr^^ l§ I * a■■■••»• It just gets worse'; White ABBOTSFORD - When enumerators went door to door across the country registering Canadians for the upcoming election, the names of thousands of murderers, rapists and pedophiles were added to the list, according to Fraser Valley West MP Randy White. White, the Reform Justice team leader said that brutal murderers like Clifford Olson and Paul Bernardo could be casting deciding votes in several close ridings. '1 know the Liberals are going to need all the help they can get in this election, but this is ridicu lous," he said. Judge Howard Weston decided it would be the right of federal prisoners to vote, and the Liberal government quietiy appealed the decision, but did not ask for a stay, until the appeal could be heard. White reviewed the decision with lawyers, who fought the batde against Alberta prisoners, who won the right to vote in the recent provincial election. He calls the enumeration of federal prisoners 'another insult to the victims of crime.' 'It just gets worse."

Aldergrove resident Cindy Strybos is appalled at the black color of the water filter her family changed after just one month of use - the new white filter is in her other hand for comparison's sake. Township spokesmen said the new water chlorination program is shaking loose years of accumulated growth on the inside of the water pipes, which their flushing program hasnt been able to dislodge. The Township has also set aside $3.5-million in this year's budget for a permanent solution to Aldergrove's complaints about foul-smelling and tasting municipal water. Strybos said independent tests she ordered from Foodassure Laboratory Ltd. have confirmed that municipal water is safe, however, with no coliforms present and low bacterial counts that are considered normal. However, the lab manager Anna Piesik said a sample of bottled water Strybos provided had dangerous levels of bacteria. Strybos has cancelled bottled water deliveries, preferring to spend the money and time on changing water filters for the municipal water. Oolichan fishery closed indefinitely FORT LANOLEY - The small but lucrative oolichan fishery was closed at the last Tnimit-f this year by the federal fisheries department, which cited fears that the lack of a management plan would hurt stocks. Federal biologists turned down a proposal by oolichan fishermen that included monitoring by independent observers, in favor of the government drafting their own licence- limitation program. Until 1995, less than two dozen fishermen went after oolichan, averaging 15.5 tonnes annually. Last year, 71 fishermen caught 63 tonnes of the oolichan. "There is a concern for the status of oolichan in B.C. and Washington,*1 said DFO biologist Marilyn Joyce. She said that more than 2,000 fishermen could have gone after oolichan this year, to replace income from closures elsewhere in the industry. Third-generation fisherman Rick Waska said that 20 years ago, oolichan represented half his family's income in Fort Langley. "It was a good business. It supported our family, and it was good to us." 'I.U THE ALDERGROVE STAR, APRIL 23,1997 Stabbing leads to more stabbings SURREY - Police now think the stabbings of two youths over the weekend were related. It is believed to have began early Saturday evening, when a group of about 25 young people gathered near Senator Reid Elementary School to celebrate a birthday. It was about 10:30, after alcohol was consumed, that celebrants found themselves on a roof of a classroom portable. When one youth on the roof was hit by a stone thrown from below, die crowd descended to confront those below. The victim was pursued by a lone male to the area of L.A. Matheson High School, where he was stabbed near the left ear and required 35 stitches. The suspect, a young offender, is currently on probation, with a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, for assault and break and enter. The second stabbing occurred about an hour later, when a fifteen year-old boy and his girlfriend were walking in the vicinity of the school. While police have been unable to establish a motive for the stabbing, it is believed the boy had an altercation widi some of the party goers about two months before. The victim was chased and stabbed several times, mostly in the back. The wounds are not considered life-threatening, although one lung was punctured. Anyone with information about these events is asked to contact Cpl. Pierre McConnell of the RCMP serious crime section at 599-7635 or Crime Stoppers at 669-TIPS(8477). ^PC <i LANGLEY-ABBOTSFORD RIDING ASSOCIATION PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE FEDERAL phone: 857-7833 (24 hours) MEMBERSHIPS • CONTRIBUTIONS • VOLUNTEERS I LIVE IN ALDERGROVE I SELL IN ALDERGROVE CALL THE ALDERGROVE SPECIALIST DAN FLOKSTRA R.I.

The Star, Sir, - The federal government's proposed Seniors Benefit 2001 is the 'most pernicious, punitive and confiscatory tax grab to come out of Ottawa in a long time" to quote David Louis, editor of the Tax Letter. When Fully operational, the Seniors Benefit package could improve the government's balance sheet by as much as $12.2- billion annually. Of this amount, an estimated $4-billion will come from increased taxes paid by seniors and $8,2-billion from savings as a result of reduced benefits to seniors. This will occur after 2001 by which time, the pie- sent government assures Canadians, tbe nation's annual budget deficit will be far behind us. Some benefit! ■ People who were 60 or over as of December 21, 1995 may opt to retain their present status, but that doesn't mean they won't pay more in taxes. For example, age tax credits and pension income tax credits will be eliminated and for many this could mean paying up to $2,000 per annum more in * taxes. Income will be taxed on the basis of family income with income over $40,000 triggering as much as $2,200 more in personal jtaxes. The very name. Seniors Benefit 2001, lulls the unwary, particularly the person now in the 50-60 age bracket. The tendency is to think that Seniors Benefit 2001 is of no great consequence to them. They should look again. Those under 60 as of December 31, 1995 will have no option but to be fully victimized by Senior Benefit 2001. Seniors-to-be, whose income will exceed $40,000, will be subjected to an additional (clawback) tax, increasing by $1,100 to as much as $7,200 per annum depending on income and marital status. Worse still, some financial experts suggest that unless one's RRSP at retirement is worth more than $250,000, the senior-to-be may be hetter off having no RRSP. This is because of the program's 20% clawback feature, which targets family income as opposed to individual income. Seniors-to-be should check their future situation with a tax accountant. Seniors and seniors-to-be are urged to write to Prime Minister Chr-Stien and Finance Minister Martin and ask them in all fairness, and for the sake of equal treatment of all Canadians, young and old, working or retired, to take a second look and scrap Seniors Benefit 2001 as it is now proposed. Your letter need not be long. It is more effective written in your own handwriting. Just do it With an election in the offing, the timing is right Copies of your letter to sitting MPs and candidates will do no harm and might do some good in raising the profile of this issue.

This property borders my eight-acre organic herb farm, and as such I have grave concerns about this project. My main concern is protection of my drinking water; I have two shallow dug wells, which are 75 metres from the proposed site. However, other residents of Glen Valley have concerns about truck traffic on our winding country roads and the safety of their children. The problem with a landfill, as was indicated by a few of the speakers, is that it is very difficult to monitor what is actually dumped. Even with the best of intentions, mistakes happen, tilings are overlooked, and deleterious material finds its way into the site. Neither the Ministry of Environment, the City of Abbotsford, or any of the odier agencies involved have the manpower or the mandate to police this operation. And once this material is in place, it is very costly to remove. The proposed bond of upwards of $200,000 is hardly sufficient, when one considers the potential damages and costs of remediation, and when one considers the potential profit from this operation. Mr. Smith assures us his experts have engineered an operation uiat will protect us from the hazards they admit are potential. But engineered structures are not infallible, and being next door and downslope to this landfill makes me nervous. Is that so unreasonable? Mr. Smith repeatedly attacked our reference to "up to 40 truck loads a day" and accused us of misleading those who signed our petition, but in his own letter to the Ministry of Environment dated November 6, 1995, he states: "We expect between 5 and 20 loads per day. If there are 40 in one day that would mean the next 2 or 3 days probably would see 5 trucks per day." The constant refrain from the proponents as to their reasoning for landfilling this site is to return it to agricultural use. However, Mr. Smith let slip last night that the City of Abbotsford has approached them to deposit clean soils on the property, yet they have refused. We keep hearing how they just want to reclaim an ugly scar on the landscape. Well, diat pit was mined in the early '80s, and when they bought it in 1993, nature had already reclaimed it. There were 13-year-old trees covering the property. They hired Mr. Smith to come in and clear the property, returning it to the eyesore that it is today. Mr. Smith has often complained of how much money he has spent trying to get this project approved. I was accused of "not wanting Lloyd and Roxanne to make a buck." I am a self- employed person, and I understand that everyone has to make a living, as I do myself. I have spent countless unpaid hours fighting this application on behalf of myself and the community, and I venture to guess it has cost me proportionately a much greater amount than it has cost Mr. Smith. And I have nothing to gain if I "win" other than to keep what I already have. Another concern is that the Smith/Browns, after filling this site will "take the money and run," leaving the residents of this More, page 5 By MICHAEL WALKER VANCOUVER - One of the intriguing ideas making the rounds these days is the notion that we can solve the problem of unemployment by adopting a 30- hour work week. This idea has recently been widely advocated in Canada by tile American journalist and social critic Jeremy Rifkin, and his views have been receiving a favorable hearing. The core of Mr. Rifkin's idea is that since there is a given amount of work to be done, and since machines and technology increase the ability of each worker to do work, unemployment results. The simple solution, Rifkin suggests, is to reduce the number of hours that each pair of hands can work. By doing this we ensure that more people will be employed. As we contemplate this idea, there are a number of questions which must be posed. First of all, why is Mr. Rifkin spending so much of his time in Canada? The answer would appear to be that there isn't much call for his cure in the United States since, at 5.5 percent, the unemployment rate is so much lower than in Canada. In fact there are many parts of the United States, where there are jobs with nobody to fill them. It appears that the United States doesn't have a fixed amount of work and a growing number of hands', but the reverse. The supply of hands isn't rising fast enough to keep up with the demand. More to the point, if the Rifkin argument about machines is correct, why is it that the United States, the most technology intensive, capitalized country in the world, also has the lowest unemployment rates? Second, is it really more work that we want? Or is it more wealth? Obviously, we want wealth. It would be easy to get rid of the unemployment problem if all we wanted was work. We would simply outlaw the use of technology -like bulldozers and steam shovels as well as computers and robotics - and we would have more work than we could manage. The problem is that our standard of living would plummet to levels currently experienced in countries where there are no labor-saving technologies. Machines and technology do reduce the amount of labor required, and that is how our standard of living grows. Labor not Hundreds attend symposium Editor, The Star, Sir, The Abbotsford branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association would like to thank you very much for the part you played in making our Diabetic Symposium on April 10 the huge success uiat it was. There were approximately 350 people in attendance. We really appreciate all you did for us. Again, thank you very much for all your help. AUDREY ONANNI, Abbotsford required to shovel dirt is available to do other things that add to our standard of living. As long as hands are used to do manual labor, they are not available to do the more creative things that we take for granted as part of our standard of living. And that brings us to the 30- hour work week. Of course we will have the 30-hour work week. It will come as soon as the productivity (and hence annual income) of the average worker reaches the point that they want to take that much more of their time in leisure rather than work. That is how we got a 50-hour week and a 40-hour week and a 37.5-hour week. It won't happen overnight, but it will be gradual, until eventually, average practice is reflected in the 30-hour statutory work week. Still, there are some, like journalist Rifkin, who believe that it was union power that brought the shorter work week - that the number of hours worked by the average worker is nothing more than the outcome of a power struggle between organized labor and management. But if that is so, why do countries like Korea, which have the same fraction of their private workforce unionized as Canada, have longer work weeks? Or why were the actual hours of work in the Workers' Paradises in the East Bloc so much longer? Or, closer to home, why is it that the length of the work week continues to fall, even as unionization of the work force falls? The other aspect of the Rifkin argument is that high tech societies are going to have increasing difficulty employing people because all die new machines destroy work. If believed, this faintly Luddite point of view would make the achievement of the 30-hour Week more difficult Passing a law that there will be a 30-hour work week will not increase the productivity of workers. What will do so is the use of more machines to make us all more productive. So Rifkin has got it upside down. First we become more productive, then we choose the 30- hour work week and, just as in the past, there will be more and more work for us all to do as our standard of living rises.

In a prior public meeting before die Fraser Valley Regional District Board of Directors, Mr. Smith accused me of reneging on a deal, when I changed my mind about objecting to this project. It is true the Smith/Browns offered to drill me a well, if I would not raise any objections to their application. But.as I learned more about the actual nature and possible hazards of this landfill, I found I had to speak out and as a result did not receive a free drilled well. I suppose that may be reneging on a deal, but at least my conscience is clear. Throughout this whole affair Lloyd and Roxanne Brown have kept up a deafening silence, both towards myself and during this process, letting Mr. Smith do all the talking. It is unfortunate that this application has pitted neighbour against neighbour. I feel that everyone has a right to their opinion, and we could still be civil to each other, even though we have opposing viewpoints and may be on opposing sides of an issue. I just want to be free to enjoy my land, operate my farm, and drink pure water. I have lived and worked here for over 10 years to get to this point and feel I have a right to try and protect my way of life.

Skeptical of fish deal VICTORIA - The NDP has failed to negotiate a federal-provincial fish deal that will give British Columbia a better managed salmon fishery, said BC liberal - fisheries critic John van Dongen. 'This announcement is all about 'good news politics' by a premier with a credibility problem and a federal government going into an election,*' said van Dqn- gen. "Glen Clark was losing ground in the negotiations. He wanted to get the negotiations over with. "This deal creates more bureaucracy on an already overly bureaucratic system. Glen Clark has foisted another consultation process on the fishing industry. He has also left the federal government in charge of the fishery," said van Dongen. 'BC needs an agreement with Ottawa that deals with the overlap of jurisdictions and clearly defines the responsibilities between the federal and provincial governments," said van Dongen. "Governments should spend dieir money on habitat and conservation not on supporting bureaucratic processes. "Ultimately the test will be whether or not both governments actually deliver on habitat stock and job protection," said van Dongen. THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

Under the Freedom of Information Act BC Liberals obtained documents showing that Eliesen received $275,724 for work covering a 16 month period.

Stephens will introduce a private member's bill next week to marie the Prevention of Domestic Violence Week (April 20 to 27). The key component of her private member's bill removes the offender from the home, if police are called to attend a complaint of domestic violence, rather than removing the victim and children. "The bill will help end the cycle of abuse, fear and violence that traps many women," said Stephens. 'This legislation ensures that the victims of domes tic violence including children, can stay in their own homes instead of having to flee for dieir safety." The private member's bill makes emergency intervention orders available 24 hours a day. The BC Liberal bill also includes provisions for the abuser to be restrained in custody, removed from the home and be instructed to take counselling for abusive men 'We need to send a clear message that domestic violence will not be tolerated. If the NDP was serious about putting tbe victims of domestic violence first, they would demonstrate that by introducing legislation that will safeguard women and children," said Stephens.

Road jMB DRINKING DRIVING COUNTERATTACK s s s s Diagnosis destroyed daughter's chances LANGLEY - A distraught farm couple from Ontario told a press conference here last week that their daughter would not have died from the so-called flesh-eating disease if she had been properly diagnosed. Diane Ferguson, a 22 year old student at Trinity Western University, succumbed to necrotizing fasciitis on March 24. Her parents, Pat and Glen Ferguson described the treatments she had received in the days before her death, and said the doctors who'd examined her had prescribed medication for a suspected fracture. "The medical profession let us down," said Pat, choking back tears. "It's disheartening to read in the papers that it's a so-called rare disease,1* she said. "It is treated and cured regularly. Diane was not properly diagnosed, and the lack of knowledge and professionalism resulted m her death." Diane Ferguson first sought medical attention on March 14, because of a swelling in her ankle, and returned to doctors several times before she was admitted at 10 p.m., March 23, at Langley Memorial Hospital. She was transferred to Vancouver General Hospital, where she passed away a few hours later. The Fergusons said they have met coroner Marj Paonessa twice, and also spoke with LMH spokespersons Pat Kidd and Dr. Matthews. "Swelling, fever and pain are all symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis," said Pat Ferguson. "Doctors should know these signs, and tests should be normal procedure." mmmmm iiftiiiil|||||||||||||||-|*tlll>-|it««>' THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

The store celebrates its 30th anniversary this week. Thirty years of fresh produce ALDERGROVE - Hamilton Farms marks 30 years of fresh produce sales this week, and they've invited all to come down and celebrate with them. The late Ted and Thelma Hamilton started out in a modest frame building, selling mostly in- season Okanagan fruit, but after their son. Rick, and his wife, Charlie took over in 1975, there has been a series of major changes. The store was totally rebuilt eight years ago, and offers considerably more comfort, as well as selection. It's also open seven days a week, year-round, and is now managed by Bill and Judy Edgar. Rick and Charlie still come in and work at the store, but have increasingly concentrated on their Mid Valley Produce delivery ser vice. Their reefer semi-trailer makes regular trips to California, Washington, Oregon and Florida, to pick up fresh produce, and their four delivery trucks serve a number of retailers in the lower mainland and valley area. This business, with the aid of Terry Gaston, has become an important part of their success in the last nine years. Rick told The Star that customers have been coming from Vancouver and White Rock since the days that his Mom and Dad started out. "Fresh fruit in the summer has been a big draw for a number of years, and we have customers coining from Langley and Abbotsford, but our Aldergrove customers are our biggest market We've been well-supported by the people here, and we want to say thank you." LANGLEY - The Chamber of Commerce is offering a program to provide1 "front line" staff with essential skills while developing a commitment to take their customer service skills beyond their current level.

BYLAWS NO. 3675 & 3676 PROPOSAL: Teachers' study exposes education lie, says Grit VICTORIA - The NDP have been lying to parents and students about their commitment to education and BC's teachers have confirmed it, said BC Liberal education critic April Sanders. "We now know what the NDP means, when it says that education is a priority - it means $427 less per student since the NDP became government," said Sanders. The B.C. Teachers' Federation released a study, which showed that education funding has actually declined seven percent over the past seven years. It also showed that in only one year did the education budget increase enough to keep up with inflation. Alice McQuade's study shows the last premier to keep education spending equal to inflation was Bill Vander Zalm", said Sanders. 'It must hurt teachers to know that their BCTF executive supported the NDP during the election, who are doing a worse job than the Socreds did. The BCTF study said that, if we had the same teacher-to-student ratio today as we did in 1990, there would be 1,470 more teachers in die system right now. "The BC Liberal election platform called for an additional 2,500 teachers to meet die needs, of BC students," said Sanders. 'The BCTF study puts the lie to the NDP claim that they're protecting education."

Cortese runs for die Langley Teachers in Motion relay team, which is in its 12th year of fundraising for die 24-hour relay in Swangard Stadium.

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - It's been a week of terrible tragedies, the explosion in Quesnel, in which some people Were killed and. others badly burned and injured. Similarly in Northern Alberta, when a bus and truck collided, some were killed and some were injured. Closer to home, the tragedy of Rusty Harper's accident in Britain shocked people in Aldergrove. This was a young high school student, who was so excited to go with his rugby team but had the misfortune of being hit by a car and now lies in a coma. However, the bright spot of the week was the surprise birthday party for our past president Charlie Delves. He apparently, though no one would know, has reached a huge milestone, so his son and daughter-in-law deemed it necessary to give him a party. All 100 of his friends were there to shake his hand, hug him or bug him. Happy Birthday, Charlie, you have been a great asset to the O.A.P.O., and we all appreciate the part you have played. Bridge honors were won by Doug Johnston, who took first prize with a score of 7260. Renie Rowley had 6590, John McDougall was third prize winner with 5830, and last Joan Slaven .with 5760.

Hans for a reunion of members is in the making, a sort of grand finale to all the years we've worked to bring a ray of sunshine to people in care homes. For a mid-week dance it was good to see such a large crowd of around 45. The Spot dance went to Roger Dion and Lila Kerts. There were four 50-50 winners, Stan Craig, Millie Lichter, Herb Nash and Helen Souther. Rainbow Melodies were the music- makers for both dances. Saturday dance had an overflow crowd of 95. Visitors were Armand and Marg Lemire, Susan Thibeault, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Rempel, Eric and Marie Nissian of Aldergrove, and another couple of snowbirds, who have returned from Yuma, Marguerite and George. Spot dances were won by Claude and Jean Levasseur and Lee Lejoie and Dennis Timbers. There were lots of 50-50 winners: Eleanor Anderson, Susan Thibeault, Barbara Lane, Doreen Debnah, Selina Davies, Peter Onushko, and Jean Levasseur. Door prizes went to Emma Sanders and Irene Falconer. At this time of year the flower arrangements used for door prizes are especially nice and, and winners are most appreciative and enjoy them a lot Lila and Art Kerts celebrated their wedding anniversary Saturday night at the dance. Round dancing and Carpet bowling as usual last week. We had thought Carpet bowling would have a small crowd, since several had had to forego their usual Thursday pm pleasure, but not so, two carpets were filled. The Regional meeting was held at Cultus Lake on Thursday pm. We had three delegates and two visitors from #71. It was a good meeting. After reports from all branches in the Fraser Valley were read and a few jokes were told, Wil Holland spoke of the large part OAP branches play in having a voice in Ottawa. Our health system is in danger of falling apart, and we must stand up for our rights. A beautiful lunch was served, though a power failure surprised everyone, things went smoothly and no one seemed to worry but rather took it in its stride. This is OAP news for the week past Here's a rather silly joke that was told at the Regional: A lady, who won the Seniors Lottery, decided to treat herself to a milk bath, so she called the dairy to place her order. 1%, 2% or whole milk and how much? "Pasteurized?" they asked. No, she said, just up to my shoulders.

Group looking for leaders Man shot LANGLEY - The local office of the Canadian Cancer Society is looking for two key volunteer leadership positions, public education chair and program services chair. The education chair develops relationships with relevant community organizations and therefore requires good communications and people skills, and may have a background or contacts in the education and/or public health field. The program services chair oversees both public education and patient services, and may have a background in community program delivery, group facilitation or emotional support programs. Both of these positions require a time commitment of approximately 4-6 hours per week. Excellent communication and people skills as well as the ability to work as a team leader encouraging motivation within the team are desirable skills. 'These positions will have a distinct and beneficial impact on the Langley community providing a rewarding frontline opportunity for the volunteer," says Denise Young, volunteer development chair for the Langley unit If either of these positions appeal to you, or you would like more information, leave a message for Denise at 533-1668, Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. over money SURREY - Police attended the area of 86 Avenue and 154A Street, when a call of shots fired came in, just after 4 a.m. Sunday, April 20.

The youths are empowered by democratic process to contribute to the programs, and many serve on committees or boards that set the agendas of the programs.

Miller drama at school | ALDg&GROVE - The Visual and Performing Arts Department of Aldergrove Community Secondary and the Black Light Theatre Company are proud to present The Crucible by Arthur Miller next month. Directed by David L. Young, it is set to run May 13, 15, 16, 20, 22, and 23. Tickets are $8 (general admission), $6 (students/seniors) or $4 (senior matinee), $3 (student matinee). The Crucible is a timeless tale of truth on trial. It is a gripping play, written in 1953, focusing on the witch hunts in the Puritan New England town of Salem. Miller created this classic piece of theatre during the height of the McCarthy era's anti-Communist hysteria, and still maintains a courageous testament against hypocrisy in both politics and theocracy. Abigail is die ring leader, when Salem's teenage girls start claiming they have been bewitched. This in turn convinces the village that the Devil is loose in Salem, and that those responsible must be hanged for witchcraft. In the ensuing frenzy, John Proctor, the flawed hero, wbo becomes a tragic victim of the hysteria that breaks out in the Massachusetts town of Salem in 1692, finds him-' self confronted by a number of stark moral choices. The story is about everything. It's got those timeless themes of betrayal and passion and love. It's about fear, public hysteria and paranoia. And it's also a courtroom drama. Come see the play that was recently released by Hollywood as a movie with Winona Ryder and Daniel Day Lewis. See why Arthur Miller is a classic playwright of the contemporary theatre. For reservations, call 856- 2521. Major play opening May 1 ABBOTSFORD - 60 costumes, 1,600 square feet of art, a couple of babies, and a lot of enthusiasm!

It's a chance for a behind-the-scenes look at the many ways your community hospital has been preparing itself to serve patients and residents in the future. Doors open at 1:30 pm and remain open until 3:30 pm (there's complimentary parking, by the way). Hospital staff will be on hand to show off their new departments and services, and are free to chat wi th visitors about the details of their work - not something they have time to do when their priority is patient care. Connie Cowan, the hospital's director of corporate services, explains that the construction and renovation involved five main projects, and these will all be 'open for inspection" by interest ed members of the community. This is a chance to tour the first- of-its-kind-in-BC maternity centre - private rooms for everyone; check out a new area dedicated to ambulatory care sendees - cardiology, respiratory, nutrition and diabetes services, as well as medical and surgical clinics; visit the new and expanded space for occupational therapy, speech therapy and physiotherapy; and participate in a fun quiz and win some great prizes. When you've done the tour, refreshments will be waiting for you in the hospital's vastly improved new cafeteria. Evergreens.

Many departments faced two or three moves during construction - a "challenge" with which those who have done home renovations will sympathize.

Budget just half billion out VICTORIA - The recent budget was off by half a billion dollars due to a miscalculation by Treasury Board officials, Finance Minister Andrew Petter admitted last week. The budget shows the total provincial debt as $30,867,- 000,000 at the end of the current fiscal year, but the actual figure should be $30,367,000,000, said Petter. Where did the $500 million come from? Petter says his staff mistook $500-million in borrowing by B.C. Hydro for capital borrowing, when the Crown's actual intention was to use the funds to retire an equal amount of existing debt Commented Liberal finance critic Fred Gingell, '1 could show you some more serious miscalculations that that." -™ : Star Snorts Gold medal winner back on the road ALDERGROVE - Timmy Stu- paryk is back on the road, winning medals for her running. The 15 year old Aldergrove Secondary student was a gold medal winner at last summer's B.C. Games, but a subsequent back injury had sidelined her. Physiotherapy, including 'running' in water, has paid off, and she's been running on the streets again in recent months, getting her stamina up. On Monday she returned from the Mount Sac Relays in Sacramento with more hardware. It's the biggest track meet in North America, with over 5,000 high school age competitors from Canada, USA, Mexico, China and elsewhere. Stuparyk earned a fifth spot in the 800 metre race, with a time of 2:18. This was a personal best, but she was delighted to be one of the four members of the Valley Royals relay team that came in first in the 4x4 relay. Stuparyk joined the Valley Royals in Abbotsford two years ago. Stuparyk said her next challenge will be running the 1500 metre race at a high school meet in Grisham, Oregon this month.

Does God only care for a certain selected few people or is God's love inclusive for all? An innovative original drama called A God for All Nations will be presented on Saturday, 11 am at W.J. Mouat Secondary Theatre. The script was written by Dr. Ruth Lennox, who is now retired. She has been working on the piece for the past year. A God for All Nations is a story about four women who were not citizens of the Jewish nation - but dieir efforts were championed by God. Their historical experi ences teach modern people deep spiritual insights today. The issues they raise are contemporary. The women highlighted in the drama are Rahab, a prostitute; Ruth, a woman of the Moab nation; a widow of Zerapheth; and a single parent of Greek origin. The drama will be performed by the Abbotsford Women's Drama Group. The public is invited to this free presentation, sponsored by the Open Door Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Several of his letters stated that he is a frequent visitor to Aldergrove's Fox & Hounds pub, and sometimes the Royal Canadian Legion branch in the village. As I am myself not a stranger to these excellent places of socializing and entertainment, I am puzzled that I have never met the alleged Brigadier or even heard his name mentioned by patrons or staff. Is this person simply a figment of your imagination, or does he actually exist? As an old warrior, who has served King and country in various conflicts, I would love to meet him and trade wartime stories. Signed: F. Art Small (Sgt. ret) Dear F. Art, Since becoming friends with Huge Wallop I have found out many things about him - although some of them only add to the mystery that surrounds the fine Celtic celebration FORT LANGLEY - The first annual Beltane Bash features 45 tables of crafts and a psychic fair May 3 and 4, at Fort Langley Community Hall, 9167 Glover Road. Receive a raffle ticket with each $1 admission, and Sunday is children's day with Mr. I performing at 2 pm. Beltane is the original May Day according to Celtic tradition, a celebration of like-minded people gathering in love and communal spirit For more information call Terri Probert at 882-0565. Event will run both days 10 am to 5 pm. old map. He is a master of disguise and seldom appears more than once as the same person. I believe he learned this when he was with MI 5 in Britain. Where do you think Ian Fleming got the idea of James Bond? Indeed, several of the Bond adventures are based directly upon Wallop's experiences. Naturally, the Brigadier has to be careful of those with whom he converses, because in some parts of the world there is still a price on his head. But you have quite likely met the man in one or two of his disguises. You say you would like to swap stories with him? I suspect you already have. Dear Annabelle, My Aunt Agatha Smith, who is 81 years old, caused something of a sensation recently when she went to our family doctor and demanded to be supplied with birth control pills. At first he thought it was a joke, but then asked why on earth a woman of her years would want such pills. 'To help me sleep better," she told him. He replied that she would be better off with tablets specifically designed to aid sleep, but Aunt Agatha stuck to her guns. The doctor insisted that she explain how birth control pills could help her get her rest. '1 put them in my granddaughter's orange juice," she said, "and I get a good night's sleep." Dear Readers, Once again it's time to consider just how much you may need the wit and wisdom of Annabelle to help you get a good night's sleep or whatever else you may need. Just write to Annabelle, c/o The Aldergrove Star, 3089-272 St, Aldergrove V4W 3R9, FAX to 856-5212 or E-Mail: editor® aldstar.com THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

Service will start with eleven weekly flights to Calgary and Edmonton, but Beddoe said expansion of service will come soon. -Kurt Langmann photo ABBOTSFORD - A resident of Sumas Centre, on day parole while serving a sentence for attempted murder, has been charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm, after he alleged- Man hangs self in park playground ABBOTSFORD - Police were called to the south part of Mill Lake Park just before 7 a.m, Friday, April 18, after citizens out for a walk came across the body of a man, who had apparently hanged himself. The nineteen year-old victim had tied one end of a rope around his neck and the other around a playground apparatus. At this time police do not suspect foul play, but an autopsy is being done to determine the exact cause of death. ly assaulted a corrections volunteer. The woman was attempting to help reintegrate Clinton Dale McNutt into society and was alone with him in her home when the incident occurred. The attack brings into question the safety of the parole system. Abbotsford police Constable Paul Lalli said the main concern of police is citizen safety, but he added it would be difficult for the parole board to determine, if McNutt was a danger to the public, because he did not have a history of sexual offences. He was serving an eight year sentence for the attempted murder of his sister in law, whom he had shot in the head in Jan. 1990. He was first granted day parole in Jan. 1995, had it revoked after he was discovered drunk at Sumas Centre, and had it reinstated in Oct 1996. McNutt would have been eligible for statutory release in July 1997, and his actual sentence would have ended in June 1998. Travel business moves here From front... tion is to develop a long-range plan for the airport that will gain the maximum benefit for our community, and this is an excellent start.1, . "We can see a tremendous potential for moving passengers through Abbotsford," said Diana Young, president of Ambassador Travel. "For years we've had customers ask us when this was going to happen." Beddoe said Westjet has grown quickly in the much smaller market of Kelowna, and he expected the same to happen in the Fraser Valley, which is more than twice as large, with over 600,000 people to draw on. "We anticipate the Abbotsford-Fraser Valley market will be extremely successful for us and we have focused a tremendous amount of resources to ensure that it will be. We have developed strong partnerships between ourselves and the local political and business groups in the area." Westjet also serves Victoria, Saskatoon, Regina and Vancouver international airports. Cuts hit education choices From front... reducing administrative positions (particularly vice-principals through attrition) in smaller schools. The biggest cut the school board is making is the winding down of the Continuing Education Program. The board hopes that other organizations can take oder the management of course offerings, and the district will supply classroom space on a cost recoverable basis to groups wishing to offer courses in Langley. Adult Education Programs for students wishing to complete high school, are not affected, and those people will be able to attend the Langley Education Centre. The district has tried to make Continuing Education programs cost recoverable, but has been supporting the program by over $30,000 per year, not including hidden costs such as accounting, personnel, management, depreciation of equipment, and the free use of rooms. The program is not provincially funded, and the district can no longer afford to divert funds from the K-12 system.
