Protesters in front of Sumas Centre waved placards and shouted down passing motorists to have them stop and sign their petition, and many did. Victim and protester Leona Hedrick, who approached Abbotsford Council last week to ask for their support in pressing to have laws regarding pedophiles changed, said she was happy with the turn out to all the proteges. No councillors were present for the first half of Monday's protest 'Today is the day they lift the condition," she. said. "But so far as we know he is still in custody and living at the centre. "I think they're probably going to release him into a different community without telling us. That's what I think." This week's supporters included Terry Smith, uncle of murder victim Tanya Smith, and a mother who brought her children. "I came here, as a mother of three, to protect my own, because nobody else wfll," she said. "The laws are for criminals. Who are they trying to protect?" Oatway's parole officer, Tina Mathieu, also stopped by and told Hedrick that she was just saying 'Hi.' She said she was just back from holidays, and didn't know anything, but she would be 'in touch.' Last week there was a little violence, when an unidentified prisoner escort tried to run over protesters standing at the side of the road. He shouted at them to 'find God' and then yelled obscenities. Hedrick said she was slighdy bumped by the vehicle. "He swerved towards us on his way in, and on his way out, and was yelling at us," she said. "Finally the guard came out, and the guy took off, but the guard said he did not know who the man was." %t$m MM Children were out at Monday's protest against the Parole Board's decision to allow convicted pedophile Bobby Oatway into the Abbotsford area. The mother, who brought her three children to the protest, said the laws do not exist to protect children and victims, they exist to protect the criminals. -tMonique Galazka photo Although Oatway is now allowed north of Highway 1, he is still not permitted to go where children go, and has to keep a midnight curfew. He was convicted of six counts including buggery, incest and bestiality, but was originally charged with 41 counts including sexual assault with a weapon. On-line publishing catching on fast LANGLEY - Veteran Township Councillor Muriel Arnason is charging into cyberspace, with this week's launch of her own homepage on the internet The 80 year old said she's getting help from her son, as she "learns more about the internet and practice my HTML skills." The page is still under construction, but will be used for "commentary on issues that the newspapers can't or won't print community event notices, my own brand of humour and wit and to collect information from Township residents." She added that her "favourite link to date" is the Aldergrove Star's internet edition, launched last month. Star publisher Rudy Langmann loads the weekly edition onto the net every Friday and said he's encouraged by the number of visits recorded. A daily summary shows that net readership has grown by leaps and bounds, starting with 40 visits on launch dav to over 3,000 visits for the first two weeks' editions. A recent survey of American newspaper executives shows they are evenly split on whether online services would be beneficial or harmful to traditional newspapers in the competition for advertising dollars. However, survey respondents strongly believed that online services are not a fad, with 80 percent saying that it would be important or revolutionary to the communications industry. The Hearst Newspapers sponsored survey found 43 percent of papers claiming to have on-line products, but only one in ten were turning a profit from the efforts.

Now on the Internet: www.aldstar.com Stench solutions elude committee ALDERGROVE - A new composting facility on LeFeuvre Road is up and running this week, preparing the growing medium for mushroom barns in Langley Township, which are banned from composting on-site. The facility was built in Abbotsford, one kilometre east of the border, and one kilometre south of Fraser Highway. Roger Clapham, a spokesman for the Fraser Valley Coalition for Clean Air and Water, said the first or "pre-wet" stage was completed this week, and "there's a passel of gas rising and starting to smell. The wind is taking it to the northeast today." Controversy about this facility, and others in die south, and a proposal to relocate Money's Mushrooms composting facility from Surrey to this area, led Abbotsford council to appoint a Composting Committee last year, made up of councillors, the industry and affected residents. Clapham is also a member of this committee, which is to submit a final report to council in about a month. "It's a very ambitious goal. We're to pioneer the first community standard for the stink, as well as create a structure for enforcement of the standards. So far, we've done neither," said Clapham. "We've examined the biochemistry of the industry, and looked at a number of scrubbing methods:" Noting that Biowaste's large operation on Huntingdon Road has just been cited for tbe third time by the environment ministry for not meeting provincial standards for its water pollution to Pepin Creek, Clapham said "there are no standards for stench. However, Rick Chase (Biowaste manager) has asked to speak to the next committee meeting on March Please see page 3... Court battle wages on LANGLEY - The province is Closing more than a dozen court- nouses, but local residents are still hoping to have the closure of Langley's courthouse reconsidered. The Inter-Agency Council is appealing the decision, and have circulated petitions in the community. Deadline for collection of signatures is Friday, Feb. 21, and the petitions are available in Aldergrove at MLA Rich Coleman's office, 27118 Fraser Highway, and Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services, 26970 Fraser Highway. They're also in Langley at MLA Lynn Stephens' office, Langley Family Services and Legal Assistance Centre. Inter-Agency Council spokesperson, Pat Mugridge said the petition started 45 days ago, and that Fraser Valley mayors have won a meeting widi attorney-general Ujjal Dosanjh this week to air their grievances. 'The Langley situation is part of a concerted effort," she said, noting that the firing of 125 court reporters was also a questionable effort by the province to save money. 'It's another form of provincial downloading. Local taxpayers will have to shoulder the burden of over $350,000 in extra RCMP costs connected to travelling to Surrey courthouse." Mugridge said this could leave Langley poorly protected in event of emergencies, such as the recent shooting of two youths at Langley Secondary. 'Members of the force were available on that occasion, reacted promptly, and apprehended suspects. If they had to be called back from Surrey court house, it might have been a differ-. ent outcome." Mugridge also calculated the time it would take a Fort Langley or Aldergrove resident to take the bus to Surrey courthouse. 'It's three hours and 37 minutes, one way. A person would have leave home at 5:30 a.m. to make it on time." Legal battles neverending story for the Township By KURT LANGMANN LANGLEY - It was a night for legal beagles and other fans of jurisprudence, Monday at Township council meeting. Most of those in the chambers were bemused and puzzled at the wrangling that went on, as they were not aware of the background. A Coghlan resident, who's been fighting the Township in the courts for 20 years about his fence, had a go at council, arguing that his legal costs should be paid by the Township now that they've lost their case. Coun. Heather McMullan scored brownie points with a "legal" argument against council's decision to grant upwards of $50,000 for a new roof at the provincial farm museum in Fort Langley.

And a Willoughby resident expressed her disgust with the Township's delay in allowing her to transform her five acres into a profitable development Gerald Tapp read a lengthy and letter letter about the high taxes and low level of services in his neighbourhood, then told council it was written by his neighbour in 1981. He said it was one of the disclosures given to him by the courts recently, used as evidence against him by the Township. "I don't see bow this is connected to me," he told councillors. "You supposedly have all these complaints against me, but my name isn't mentioned here. I've been in the courts since 1977; it's offensive." He told The Star that he would be back in court the next day, seeking compensation for his expenses from the Township. He said he's installed and moved a fence that screens his logging equipment once at Township's request, and if they want it moved again, "they can do it at their own expense. This is ridiculous; I have 'grandfather' rights in the first place." Tapp added that he was told that other complaints filed against him with the Township over the past 20 years "had been 'lost.' Isn't that something?" McMullan argued against the process which council followed in granting $50,000 to the B.C. Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum, citing the criteria of grants policy #816, which limits grants to $5,000. The rest of council was in silent consternation for a few minutes, until coun. Mel Kositsky pointed out that it also allowed for "larger, one-time grants" in emergencies, and there was precedent in the large grants given to Stepping Stones house \*P' **■"••" The Mth Annual f| Children's Festival Sunday, February 23, Yffl Willowbrook Shopping Centre 11:00 - 4:00 pm Children's Activity Centres Face Painting Cookie Decorating Arts and Crafts Bouncy Castle Street Entertainers Rainbow the Clown Shoppers Drug Mart Life Bear Jerome the Gnome: (HomeUfe Benchmark Realty) A & W Rootbear Block Parents Dandy Doodle: (Courtesy ot the Delta Credit Union) Children's Entertainers 12:30 pm - B.J.

Museum society president Werner Ohl expressed their gratitude for the assistance, and provided council with a legally filed resolution that named the Township beneficiary of the museum complex, land, buildings and contents, in the event of dissolution. He said the society is currently negotiating for an expert's appraisal of the roofing work needed, and that it would be put to legal tender shortly. The farm museum was started by a former dean of agriculture at UBC, and exists solely through the volunteers of the society. Ohl said the "dissolution clause favours the Township, because we saw what happened to the provincial Transportation Museum, and we were most unhappy about that Because of all the grants (in lieu of property taxes) given to the farm museum, tbe Township deserves to inherit it if it fails, but we are working hard to keep it alive." Coun. Muriel Arnason said she'd ensured the grant application was received in time for the March 15 deadline, and because of uncertainty over actual cost of the roof, requested up to $50,000 in the provisional budget "We should be very grateful to all the volunteers," said Arnason. "West Langley Community Hall was lost because we did nothing for them. We could have lost another." She also questioned why a legal opinion was requested regarding conflicts for councillors who sit on society boards. "Why is this a problem? Who asked?" she said, noting that she sits on the farm museum board as council's representative. Administrator Mark Bakken told her there was "probably not a conflict it depends on the facts of each case." Coun. Karen Kersey said the tendered opinion said "arguments can be made for and against." Coun. Mel Kositsky said he'd requested the opinion, calling it a "warning against becoming involved in any organization that comes before council. It's a precarious position," he said, adding that the simple answer was "don't get involved" Janice O'Malley told council that recent cases of child molestation in minor sports mean concerned groups are requesting criminal record checks of all volunteers. However, RCMP policy demands $20 for each check, which could amount to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for all the groups. "I think it's appalling that safety is a source of revenue," said O'Malley in her request that the Township waive the fee for its volunteers. Mayor John Scholtens replied that council should consider it, ' although RCMP policies were not "the direction of council." Councillors said it was the first they'd heard of the policy, and they would investigate it Theresa Hannigan launched a blistering attack on council for die "long, drawn-out process", which has raised expectations of Wil- lowbrook-Willoughby residents for development prospects there, but failed to provide "planning and phasing." Citing her property tax increases and speculator confusion, she said "soon there'll be no land to build on." She demanded an immediate thrust for "higher density for prime developments on the hill." Scholtens said it was impossible to provide certainty for land speculators, which sparked insults from Hannigan in the gallery, before she left in a huff. "I've paid my taxes here for 35 years, and I'm fed up to my teeth," shouted Hannigan. "I want to leave with dollars in my pockets." tt Mary Lewis C^> for a FREE Market Evaluation on Your Home 853-2277 24 Hours 857-2277 Vane.

"This could hurt a lot of people," said Grace, noting that many volunteer with the Penny Pinchers thrift shop and Candystriper program, for example. This work tangibly benefits many people in care, and reduces operating costs to taxpayers. How the amalgamation will affect these volunteer groups is an unanswered question. The auxiliaries will be actively involved in the special meeting called by the LMH board of directors, to discuss the proposed merger with Surrey hospital, under the regional health board.

He said the putrescene from cadavers was only one of several chemical compounds involved in the industry, noting that scatol from manure existed in all the contentious composting facilities. "Hydrogen sulphide is very pungent even in minuscule amounts." He said the ministry of agriculture "is changing their position in our favour, but the agricultural land commission is not supportive, and the industry has a '50s attitude. But if we can't resolve this to everyone's satisfaction, there will be a growing uproar that will go directly to council's every meeting, and the picketing will return."

FEBRUARY 19,1997 Star Comment Love in the age of monopoly By FILIP PALDA VANCOUVER - Fall is the season when hospitals and universities launch fundraising drives. If you have a charitable dollar in your pocket, then these causes are worth considering. It is also worth considering how much more your contribution could accomplish, if governments loosened its control over hospitals and schools. These institutions work in a straitjacket of regulations and dance to the tune of government paymasters. Regulations and subsidies limit the ways in which your voluntary contribution can help patients and students. There is nothing wrong with government regulations, provided they allow schools and hospitals to find new and clever ways of answering the needs of their clients. The regulations we now have encourage stagnation. Hospitals and universities are state monopolies. They face little competition and follow rigid rules on how to operate. This means that your donations will find limited expression on the campus or in the clinic. Monopoly means that the donation 'shopper' faces a small number of unchanging outlets for his or her money. If you only want to give to a school, where students or patients pay their own way, too bad. There are no such universities or hospitals in Canada, and none will appear until government gives the nod. The generous citizen gets less 'bang-per-buck' out of giving to monopolies than if a variety of flexible institutions were competing for his or her money. The most rigid feature of our hospitals is that they are obliged to deliver 'one-tier' of health services. One-tier sounds egalitarian, but what it means in practice is that hospitals are not allowed to discover what their patients really want Imagine a world in which government only allows one type of car to be produced, or one type of house, or one style of clothing. Creative drive would grind to a halt Hospitals and schools work in diis sort of petrified world. This is also the sort of world into which voluntary contributions are obliged to find their way. Government funding adds a further complication for private individuals who want to see then- contributions going to good use. A recent study done by US economists found that for every dollar of contributions that people gave to state schools, government withdrew almost a full dollar of state funding.. This means that total funding for the state university stayed the same. If Canadian governments play the same sort of financial shell game US governments play, then donors have to be on the alert They should be glad that their private dollars are chasing mismanaged government dollars out of education and health, but they should also question politicians on where these liberated dollars are going. LETTERS Where is fairness? Editor, The Star, Sir, Mr. Scholtens, you are not' only drunk with power, but you're losing your grip on reality! How can you justify giving away $50,000 of my tax dollars to a Farm Machine Museum, when you have just fired the person who fundraises for all of the museums in Langley? Why would you give the Farm Museum $50,000, when they only applied for $20,000? Why the $30,000 bonus? I have two daughters who play soccer in Langley; we live in Lan gley; our board of directors live in Langley; we are community based. Not a single soccer field that they play on has a washroom. Yet, when the Langley Girls' Soccer Association applied for a $1,000 grant, they were turned down. Where's the fairness here? $50,000 of my money going to old farm tractors is outrageous. Langley residents, wake up and get this carnival act out of office. It's your money being given away! JANICE MASSENDER, Langley Degenerating game Editor, The Star, Sir, It was with great anticipation this past Sunday that I headed down to the local soccer pitch near my residence in North Delta. The reason for my heightened optimism was an important soccer game between my former home town, Aldergrove, and my new one in Delta. Being a resident of Aldergrove for over two decades, I became fond of reading the Star each week and have tried to maintain that routine by having relatives mail me each issue weekly. Whilst in Aldergrove I became involved in the local soccer organization and made many friends over the years. It was a pleasant surprise recently to see Lui Puccini had returned to die Association and had started writing his weekly column. I have found his articles to be very informative and also quite amusing. So this past Sunday I left church early with my husband and made my way to the big game. It was great seeing a lot ol familiar faces on the sidelines, and once the whistle started to commence play, it tugged at my heart strings over which side to support and cheer. The action was rolling along at a good pace, until it became evident that the Alder grove side was becoming frustrated with the superior tactics of the Delta eleven. By the time the second half rolled around, I commented to my better half that it was hard to decipher whether we were at a soccer match or a rugby game with all the roughhouse tactics used by my former hometown. It really disconcerted me to see the game degenerate like that I have never witnessed an Aldergrove squad act in that fashion. The thing that really appalled me was the foul language used and the crass attitude displayed. Aldergrove's backline was overly abusive, particularly their left back #6 and their right back #17. The proverbial icing on the cake was, when with ten minutes left, they substituted an older gentleman, the bandleader of these goons, whose obvious intent was to promote the thuggery. Due to some luck and bad officiating, Aldergrove came out on top 2-1.1 plan on making my way out to Parkside for the return match this Sunday and only hope Aldergrove will bring its play up to the classy level it used to be, when I was involved.

It is therefore appropriate to look at what happened prior to the election, which allowed our present mayor to achieve control and a second term in office. In Canada most politicians get elected by telling voters what they want to hear, not the truth, therefore honest, would-be politicians have a difficult time with the voters. Misrepresentation of fact, manipulation of the uninformed, and distortion of the truth is normal during election campaigns. Our present federal and provincial governments are great examples of how gullible voters can be led. We should therefore not be surprised, when these proven methods invade local politics. However, a number of factors came into play during the election, which caused the results to upset some people and please others. When one studies die events which gave our mayor his mandate, one can only conclude that those most upset had a large part to play in their apparent misfortune. The following gave the mayor the ammunition he needed to win. The first issue goes back to early in the term of the previous Have a truly rotten Editor, The Star, Sir; Once again, Mr. Clark and his gang are displaying this new form of democracy. You know, the one where we give you a chance to vote our way, and if you don't, we will get rid of you and do it the way we told you in the first place. For the sake of the people of BC, I hope the NDP run out of friends that they need to make room for at the trough, where they put the money that they take from you under false pretences, because they know how to waste it on their friends far better than we would. When are those idiots going to realize that when they regionalize our hospitals, not only do they have to pay someone to replace our elected boards, they lose all those volunteers that save our hospitals millions of dollars in wages and help patients with many things that free up the nursing to do what they do best After all, why should they do it for nothing, when others are getting paid for it? Next, watch all those donations dry up, when no one knows, which hospital you fools will pick to waste it in. I know you will use it in the facility that it's directed at, and then you will lower the budget by that amount, then get some more of your friends at the proverbial trough. You probably think that I don't trust you, and £f so, it's the first thing you have got right, since you stole from the poor in Nanaimo, sold Hydro stock to your pals, then lied through your teeth to get reelected. Now, Mr. Clark and the rest of your gang, have a rotten day. With contempt, DAVELOMAX, Surrey council. Initial cooperation between die City and Township had produced a plan, whereby a theatre/cultural centre would be built on city-owned land widi the costs, based on population, to be divided 25/75. It was almost a done deal, when senior township staff, and others with special interests in Murrayville, realized that, if the project went through, it would jeopardize their chances of having a civic core built in Murrayville. As a result the plan was scuttled by the Township, and further much needed cooperation with the City ended. The second issue was the Cultural Centre Task Force Report. The report came up with a wish list instead of a needs list, and then agreed with staff and others that everything had to consider the civic core concept that included non-cultural facilities. The cost of phase one and two was estimated at around $18-million, and the total was anywhere from $36-mil- lion up, depending on an unknown schedule. Why the 36- million, based on a wish list, was ever quoted, when it was meaningless, is a mystery. The third issue was provided by staff at the Hall. Their objective was to get a Civic Core built in Murrayville which included a new Municipal Hall. The issue was a non-starter, as empty pub- lic-paid-for space was already available in Murrayville to satisfy staff calculated space requirements for the next 10 years. The result was a divided, dysfunctional council, which caused staff to become political and take sides. Working widi the City and School Board was discouraged, because it degraded the chances of Civic Core. The fourth issue was unforeseen to those without political insight The main voting blocks in Langley are: Walnut Grove, Aldergrove, and Brookswood/Fer- nridge. To confirm this vote, Walnut Grove was promised a pool, Aldergrove a major upgrade, and Brookswood/Feroridge a chance for some development. Murrayville people are mostly new, but they will be a factor in three year's time. The so-called rural areas contain many long-time residents with diversified opinions, but limited block voting strength. What happened after the election is another story. However we get the government we deserve, with our chances of getting the government we need a matter of luck.

"?"^^ LETTERS THE ALDERGROVE STAR, FEBRUARY 19,1997 People opposed to firearms don't know a thing about them Editor, The Star, Sir, On Dec. 6 the massacre of 14 women seven years ago at Montreal Ecole Poly-Technique was commemorated. On Dec. 6, 1989, Marc Lepine, an ex-army discharge, stole from the army a semi-auto weapon and walked into a classroom and massacred 14 women and wounded several others before killing himself. He was sick and should have been given treatment, not turned out on the street Since that day a group of women have organized lobbies Not easy for small business Editor, The Star, Sir, We were interested to read the letter to the editor, where the writer was chastising a small business owner for not having paid a Business License fee for 2-3 years. We as small business owners have only sympathy for small business operations, who are forced to spend hours dealing with the bureaucratic municipal representative!:, who are busily passing bylaw after bylaw to restrict and control the equal and fair access of businesses who are legally licensed to do business in both die City and Municipality of Langley. We, as a small business, are competing with our representatives for revenues, as they have signed contracts with a specific towing business to share revenues generated. Congratulations! With the gradual hiring of sixteen more peace officers, hopefully their services will be devoted to fighting the problem of increased crime and not to soliciting motor vehicle breakdowns, non-injury motor vehicle accidents, tire changes, and other occurrences on roadways for municipal governments and their towing business company partners. Sooner or later, our political representatives will seek out other private enterprises to become partners in profit-sharing schemes to feed the hungry bureaucratic machine of municipal governments. Hopefully it's not one of the businesses the mayors or council persons are associated with! We used to call representatives public servants as their purpose was to represent concerns of citizens. Now they interfere with business and propose partnerships and other money-generating proposals to pay all the wages of their machine and justify its existence. This they do even at the cost of the motorist in' their time of duress. The motoring public can rest assured that when their vehicle is being towed from the eastern section of the municipality, to 101 Ave. and 199 B Street in Langley, that the extra monies you were unnecessarily charged for towing will insure financial security for municipal management and destroy other licensed businesses' freedom to operate. The majority of other cities and municipalities tender towing contracts to the.lowest bidder, affording their citizens the lowest cost for towing. This has been the accepted practice for the past twenty-five years. It appears that our local government is the exception and condones the practice of profiting from their citizens' accidents, breakdowns, and other motoring problems by taking the proposal of the contractor, who was willing to give a percentage or share of the towing fee to go direcdy to municipal government coffers for five years. This includes each and every tow initiated by members of the RCMP, which benefits our representatives direcdy. These are 1996 statistics - Accidents - Township - 2,212; City - 883. Impaired Drivers - Township 142; City - 48. Government's share is large amounts of money. Why local mayors and council members find it acceptable to benefit financially from the motoring publics' hardship is a question only they can answer. What other propositions or scams will they dream up to protect their hierarchy and secure their own employment? Hopefully it's not putting advertising on all municipality owned vehicles or taking a percentage of money from other businesses in our com-, munity. Their interests versus the citizens they represent! Let's get local representatives out of our pocketbooks. J. DAVIS, Aldergrove for strict firearms, regulations to be imposed on law-abiding firearms owners. Bill C-68 was started by Kim Campbell and picked up by Allen Rock. Neither one of them know anything about firearms. If Rock thinks his Bill C-68 is going to stop violence or have any effect on crime, he better see a psychologist, because Bill C-68 is going to create criminals of now law-abiding firearms owners. I believe that firearms should not be in the hands of criminals, or those who pose a threat to society. I believe that efforts must be made by government at all levels to control the smuggling of illegal weapons. I believe that Bill C-68 is a badly conceived law that unnecessarily targets legitimate owners and users of firearms. It is a failure as an attempt to control the criminal use of firearms, and the law should be scrapped. I believe that the imposition of the requirement of Bill C-68 will only serve to wrongfully criminalize otherwise law-abiding citizens, who own firearms. I believe that the hundred of millions of dollars that will be spent to enforce Bill C-68 and its regulations, by federal provincial and municipal governments, and national and local police force, would be better spent to improve family crisis units, anti-suicide counselling, and add police on the street to fight the real criminal problems. I believe that the government of Canada has a further agenda to increasingly prohibit private firearms ownership, and that the government of Canada will confiscate even more privately- owned personal property (firearms) without proper compensation to the legitimate owner. I believe the common sense approach is to repeal Bill C-68, and replace it with legislation that properly addresses the criminal use of firearms, while permitting legitimate firearms ownership, without the requirement of further restrictions or universal registration, is worthy of the wholehearted support of the recreational firearms community at the ballot box. The liberals have cleverly pulled the regulations for Bill C- 68 from the House. They do not want to make gun control an issue prior to the election. Gun control was the most controversial piece of legislation to ever come in front of Canadians. These regulations, if the Liberals are re-elected, will likely be passed (by Order-in-Council) within a month of the election. Bill C-68 was drafted before evaluating of the effectiveness of the current program (as per the Auditor General's 1993 report). The justice minister can ban anything he/she thinks is unreasonable for hunting or sporting purposes without judicial or parliamentary review. The justice minister can regulate where, when and how all firearms may be used. The sweeping Order-in-Council provisions, affecting everything from the operation of gun shows to license fees and effective date, undermine our democratic system of government, which normally requires the separation of executive, legislative and judicial powers. Various sections read "the onus is on the accused (to prove no crime was committed)", which is contrary to basic rights inlaw.

By MAUDE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - This week die futility and hopelessness of war came across very clearly as I watched the story of Kim unfold. Kim is the child in the picture so often shown as she runs down the road, her body bunting from an incendiary bomb that has been dropped. To see that person after all these years was a very touching experience. Kim, now a beautiful, genteel lady living in Canada, is willing to forgive (hose who brought such destruction to her country. She finds it in her heart to speak at universities and colleges about her life and to assure that, though she has suffered and still suffers, she's not holding a grudge. She is a role model, whose attitude should be taught to our younger generation. What sense was there going in to Vietnam, a country that in no way was a threat, to kill and maim innocent children and wipe out families? Peace, not war, should be our motto. There were 14 Carpet bowlers on Thursday afternoon. Three good games were played. One bowler we missed was Bert Spencer. Bert is in Langley hospital, and our good wishes go out to him. We all hope you'll soon be back bowling and throwing the jack to tile end of die carpet, Bert Don't forget the Pot Luck, Sunday, Feb. 23 at 5:30 at the OAP Hall.

Ed has had a stroke and has moved to Chilliwack. The Saturday dance had a bigger crowd of about 68. The Spot dances were won by Bernice Chanasyk and Sander Meszaros and John Bourque and Lea Lajoie. 50-50 winners were Evelyn Janis, Ken Lowdermiek, Elsie Wild, Angus Parradis and Bernice Chanasyk. Door prizes went to Eleanor Anderson and Selina Davies. Birthdays celebrated were ' Ambrose Lea Lajoie and Selina Davies. It was Partnership Bridge Thursday evening at the OAP Hall.

As you are reading this, one person in 17 is thinking about killing themselves. For every completed suicide, another 100 people are attempting it "Suicide can be prevented," says Maureen Fedoras, program coordinator of the After Hours Mobile Crisis Intervention team and member of the Youth Suicide Prevention Taskforce. "As a society and community, it is imperative that we become aware of the issue of youth suicide, learn how to recognize the warning signs, and learn how to support our youth, family, and community as a means to prevent suicide." The University College of the Fraser Valley, the Youth Suicide Prevention Taskforce and the Abbotsford Youth Commission will co-sponsor a public forum called Saving Our Youth: Sharing Voted Abbotsford's . #7 Vacuum Store _ A Whole New World of House Cleaning Power Now, here's a limited-time opportunity to own one of Eureka's Ultimate Housecleaning Machines - it's World Vac, the heavy-duty central vacuum with a lifetime warranty!

The panel will include provincial and local suicide prevention workers, a psychiatrist, and a young person, who has dealt with suicide personally. There will be lots of time for discussion, and resource people with a variety of perspectives on hand to answer questions. "Suicide prevention needs to start with the community," says Brenda Dragt, a child and youth therapist widi Abbotsford Mental Health. 'This is a community problem and a community responsibility. Our goal with this forum is to educate die community about prevention and to identify information gaps and concerns from the community about youth suicide. "The reality is that a very high percentage of teenagers are suicidal at some time. There are warning signs, if you know what to look for and how to help. We can teach parents, teachers, and peers how to identify high-risk kids and the differences between signs for high and low risk. "Suicides increase in the spring and fall, so as we move into that higher risk period, we want to do some educating."

Cost and uncertain return on investment were cited as over-riding reasons against going on-line.

Selection, customer base, floor space, staff have all increased, and they're marking it with a customer appreciation celebration from Feb. 21 to 23, which offers a variety of prizes, hot dogs, coffee and donuts to their many friends. Copper Kettle can help you brew perfect beers from a plethora of 120 exotic choices, as well as over 100 types of wines and 17 varieties of ciders and wine coolers. The customer does the work, of course, but now there's 5,000 square feet of space and seven staff members to guide your way to that perfect drink made from the highest quality ingredients. Various soda drinks can also be made. Owners Randy Wilcox and Derrick Smith pride themselves on keeping "our prices as low as possible without ever sacrificing or compromising the quality of your product Being an authorized BrewKing dealer also gives us access to the best quality grape juice concentrates from California, Washington, Oregon and Chile." There have been grumblings from the big breweries that the u- brew industry have taken 10 percent of market share, and their corporate profits have been down because of it. However, their chances of lobbying government for changes to regulations aren't good, considering that the president of Labatt's, Hugo Powell told the Globe & Mail last summer, that "Interbrew, the Belgian based company that bought Labatt's, proudly claims that they 'made an undisclosed, but record profit last year, and the results are most gratifying.' Labatt's now holds 46.5 percent of the Canadi- growing among the local populace. He noted The Star's on-line editions have been read by people as far away as England and Germany while the issue was still current, something that "snail mail" will never be able to duplicate. While Langmann has "dressed it up" to make it attractive, it's also kept simple, so that readers don't have a long wait for it to load up on their screens. The emphasis is on area news stories and data, with advertising sponsors listed alongside the information. Advertisers purchase space in both the print and on-line editions. Star classified ads are included in the on-line edition, which has sparked considerable interest among new readers. A woman in Mission purchased a print subscription, so that she could have her classified ad published in both editions, and reported that she received over 60 calls in response the first week it ran.

People in need ABBOTSFORD - In the small town of Zaparozhye, Ukraine, two orphanages house 40 children between the ages of 2-8. There is also a small Mennonite church there, whose members requested clothing and other materials for the children. What made the request special is that it came from people who are themselves in need. This week, the Mennonite Central Committee will send a container of blankets, health kits, school kits, layettes, soap, shoes, and medicine to needy people in the Ukraine. The materials will be divided between the Baptist and Mennonite churches there, including a small amount of specifically selected clothing for the children of the orphanage. Members of the small Mennonite church, who are themselves so needy that they will be recipients of aid, requested the clothing for the children. Their request, in spite of their own circumstances, has inspired workers here "It's neat to see that happening," said Herman Falk, director of material resources for Mennonite Central Committee BC. MCC will also send a container with 5,000 blankets to Zaire. In the fall of 1996, the committee made an appeal for blankets and these blankets are now being sent. gold pin for her work with SVSning. -Kurt Langmann photo BRADNER - Aldergrove's Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders filled the community hall on Monday evening, to celebrate their founders as well as their successes. The dinner and "campfire" attracted 262 members and family. The members, along with die Aldergrove Scouting movement, will make their annual trek in this Saturday's Torchlight Parade, from Buckerfield's to the United Church. It begins at 6:30 p.m., and culminates with an interdenominational service at the sanctuary. "Wise Owl" ~ also known as Jean Lethbridge, district commissioner — said she was delighted that the Aldergrove membership is up significantly at "151 registered girls. I don't know why the membership is down overall in the valley area, but I'm glad Aldergrove is doing so well." Special dinner guests included Louise Kenwood, the deputy provincial commissioner, Maureen Laberge, the Clearbrook Pathfinder Guider, and Beverley Stewart, the priest of St Dun- stan's Anglican Church who offered grace. Stewart said she had long been involved with Guiding, along with her daughters, and was honoured to be invited to the first commemorative dinner hosted by the Aldergrove group. Part of the reason for local strength is that many remain involved even after their children become adults, such as the mother-daughter team of Radica and Lei a Emard, who are now both leaders. They all invite residents to the parade and service this Saturday evening. Guests are welcome to ask members about the activities planned for the new year.

They spoke for about 45 minutes to emphasize the urgent need and stress the efficiencies of the district Van Wermeskerken said the delegation stressed that the most important tiling was getting Walnut Grove out of the capital funding freeze, so construction can start this July, and the facilities ishtar boosted LANGLEY - The Soroptimists of the Langleys gave a big boost to the fundraising for a new Ishtar women's and children's transition home in the city. Ishtar Society president Aline Lacey told The Star that the Soroptimists gift of $21,465 was proceeds from a recent charity casino. 'This is wonderful, they've always been great supporters, but this is a great boost The fundraising goal is $750,000 for the new home, and so far almost $600,000 has been raised.

They outlined what the district has done to save money and be fiscally responsible, and prove to the Ministry that they are worthy of die funds. "The Ministry told us over a year ago, when we asked what we should be doing, that there was nothing we could do but wait," Van Wermeskerken said. "But we went ahead anyway and implemented what we thought we should have, with positive results. The delegation stressed three main points in their argument for immediate funds for a 400 student expansion of Walnut Grove and a new 450 student elementary school on 91A Avenue: The first is that Langley has maximized the use of its resources by implementing Bill 43, extending day plans to accommodate 200 students at Walnut Grove, and has an open boundary plan that maximizes available school space. Second, the delegation outlined the immediate need for expanded facilities at Walnut Grove, which has 1500 students in space for 1,000, and grows by 100 students per year. The feeder school, Gordon Greenwood is also over capacity, and between them there are 33 portables. The Ministry has Walnut Grove down as number 11 ■ on the list of priorities. The third point is that Langley is prepared to be creative and innovative in their future use of facilities, in that the Township and school district have jointly purchased park and school sites. The district is also working towards expanded partnerships and community facilities. Walnut Grove will continue with their efficiency scheduling, and the new school will be built using a stock plan, which will produce savings. Van Wermeskerken called the meeting a success and said the Ministry appeared to be listening to what the delegation had to say. "We have given the Ministry everything they asked for, and in return we are asking for funds to be fast-tracked, so we can start building," he said. "They should be focussing on the positive and using our district as an example for others." 0NEY ByJULIEEDWARDS Being an investor in the 90's presents you with a great deal of choice. There never has been a time when so many types of investment vehicles and products were available to you. This can be potentially very confusing to investors that are accustomed to the simplicity of purchasing a TD bill every year. For instance, in addition to Term Deposits and Government Bonds, there are 1400 Mutual Funds, Stocks, Strip Bonds and other products that are all eligible for an RRSP account. Not all Financial Institutions offer this wonderful diversity of products, however, and it is important for consumers to ensure that they receive the best advice on the products available. The good news is that there never has been so many sources of information available and so many people willing to educate you. Education is very important if you are going to ensure that your assets are wisely invested. The majority of the investors that I first meet outline an investment history that tends to include only GICs and T-Bills. I have encouraged in the past that these people also read about other products which may suit their personal situation in order to get the most out of their investment dollar. I also encourage them to sit in on local free seminars. These seminars can provide detailed information and allow you to feel more comfortable about managing your own investments. After all, if present trends continue, the government may not be there to assist you when it is time to retire.

ASK ANNABELLE I Dear Annabelle, How important are table manners? My girlfriend and I are on the outs right now, because she says I embarrassed her, when she and I had dinner at her parents' place the other night Well, I admit I slurped my soup a bit, but that's because it was very hot I didn't blow on it or fan it with my hat or anything, so what's the big deal? She also says it was bad, when I tucked my napkin into the collar of my shirt - but I was wearing my best shirt (and even a tie) and didn't want to damage anything. Sheila, my girlfriend, says I was wrong to use my fork to spear a roll on the other side of the table. Heck, Annabelle, I just didn't want to bother anyone ask- ' ing them to toss me one. And I dipped my finger into the mustard, because I couldn't see that crazy little spoon lying down - there. As for a small burp or two - well, I'm told that in some cultures a good belch is taken as a compliment by the host; it means you've had your fill. I didn't forget other compliments, either. "Best dinner I've had today/' I told Sheila's old lady, and I finished off the blueberry pie just to prove it Sheila's parents didn't seem upset or anydiing, but I didn't get invited back either. What do you think, Annabelle? Signed: Sloppy Sam. Dear Sloppy Sam, First of all, get yourself an etiquette book and study up on your manners. It doesn't take much to improve yourself and how you should behave, both privately or publicly. Start now and surprise your girlfriend next time you are invited out. As well as making her happy, I'm sure you will make everyone around you fell happy too. Dear Readers., Two weeks ago, I joined Aldergrove Weight Watchers. This, of course, led to my husband and family making rude and disparaging jokes at my expense. The least of which was my husband's comment about the weigh- in. The scale apparently gave a huge sigh, when I stepped on, and was heard to say, "One at a time, please." All I can say is they will be sorry, when I am offered $2.2- million to be a spokes person next III year, when Famous Fergie steps down. Then they will all be laughing out of the other side of their pudgy faces. If you want to join us, Weight Watchers has a weekly meeting at 7:30 pm (weigh-in at 7) on Wednesdays at the Elks Hall on Fraser Highway. It's better than watching television with that box of Valentine chocolates on your lap. Looking for a Better RRSP Investment? Talk to an Expert! Julie Edwards BA. Mgmt. Econ.

FEBRUARY 19.1997 11 Daws Parley to Games Pirates clear ALDERGROVE - Davis Parley, goaltender for the Aldergrove Bantam A Bruins successfully competed for one of two goal- tending positions for Zone 3, British Columbia Winter Games. The tryouts were held at the Great Pacific Forum on December 21 and 22. Forty six of the elite players in Zone 3 (comprised of an area from Hope to White Rock and North to Coquitlam) were invited to try out. Six goaltenders were invited, and the competition was very keen. Davis turned 14 in September and has been a member of the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association since he began playing, hockey in die 1988-89 season. '1 have been very fortunate to have Don (head coach Don Schulz) and Mike (goaltender coach Mike Smith) coach me for the past five seasons. They have been very, very helpful and supportive" said an appreciative Davis. "I would also like to thank Mike Toth and Pat Ansell (Lower Mainland eval- uators for die BC Winter Games Program) for inviting me to the tryouts". The teams that Davis has played for have qualified for Tier One hockey in Atom (1993-94) and Pee Wee (1995-96) and were the only AA team to reach that level. Last year the Aldergrove Pee Wee A team won die Pacific Coast Championship and went to the Provincial playdowns. At the Provincials the team won its first six games before losing the final Rebels ousted by Rangers in cup play By EARL ERICKSON ALDERGROVE - It was the Division 12 Rebels' second game of cup play, and they were up against .a tough crew from Chilliwack, coining up just short on a 1-0 score. The game started off with both teams rushing back and forth for great scoring chances. Daniel Lanigan had a good shot go just wide to the right. Two breakaways by the Rangers were stopped with keeper Shaun Colvin rushing out, diving and deflecting the ball just wide. Shaun had to make another excellent point- blank save on a hard shot. The Rebels countered with Cody Doherty just trickling one past the post, and putting another just wide. But breakaway #3, on a good pass and speedy run, proved to be the winner for the Rangers. The second half was the most one-sided the Rebels have had in their favour, but a goal was not to be. Keeper Ryan Brightman was not tested at all. Adam Patillo had . a sprawling kick off a Curtis Bolam comer just batted away by the keeper. The shots were fast and furious, with Adam hammering one over the crossbar after a scramble out front, Michael Peters stopped at close range, and Daniel Lanigan having the keeper jump to catch his high shot. But the games will go on with hopefully a game or two to play before the wind-up on March 8th. Parents - remember the banquet/dance on the 8th. Our thanks to the parents for their continued support of the team and coaches. Davis Parley 4-3 to the powerful Trail team. Davis said uiat championship was extremely exciting, and he has the same expectations for the Winter Games. Mike Roberts, a center for the Aldergrove Bantam A team, was also invited to try out Unfortunately, Mike suffered a leg injury and was unable to finish the tryouts. The B.C. Winter Games will be held in Campbell River on Feb. 21, 22 and 23, with eight zones competing for the gold medal. the storm ALDERGROVE - The Aldergrove Pirates continued their unbeaten streak in a close, hard fought 7-5 win in Novice Division action last Saturday. Backstop- ping the team in goal was Craig Thiessen making some key saves. Within the first minute of play, the Pirates struck first with a goal from Caleb McEwen, assisted by Matthew Ferguson, his first of four points. Cody Reynolds then shot one in two minutes later to make it 2-0. After the Storm got one back, Matthew Ferguson stole the puck off the Storm defence- man and wired his first of his hat trick in the net The Storm tied the game in the second minute of the second period, but Matthew Ferguson notched his second of the game off a pass from Caleb McEwen. With die score 5-4 in favor of the Storm, some determination and digging in front of the net by Cody Reynolds resulted in his second goal of the game to tie the score. Eleven seconds later Matthew Ferguson completed his hat trick, assisted by Caleb McEwen, his third point of the day. The second period scoring ended with a beautiful end to end rush by MJ. Lebrun, to finish the game, due to a scoreless third period. The Pirates' next game is Thursday, February 20, 5:45 at Aldergrove Arena. Atom Bruins now Tier 2 champs ALDERGROVE - What a week for the Atom Rep Al Valley Gravel Bruins. There was joy and agony for the team this week, as it is official the Valley Gravel Bruins have won the league pennant for Tier II Atom Rep hockey. The team had to win their final three games to even have a shot at the tide. The team crushed North Delta and then met their arch rival Abbotsford A2 on Friday night at the Ag-Rec. Abby always plays us tough and made the Bruins work hard for their 5-3 victory. Then the boys were told in the last league game that if they won this game, they would win die pennant The boys came out flying against Surrey A3 and really worked hard at both ends of the ice. Thomas Dickinson provided some great saves when needed, and the Bruins came away with a 4-0 victory and the championship. Right after the game, our manager was told 'great game, but Chilliwack won the league pennant' as they had sixteen wins to our fifteen. Half our boys had already left thinking we won, and the other half were in shock in the warm room. But oh well, life goes on. Forty eight hours later our manager received a phone and fax informing him that there had been a mistake, and Chilliwack was credited with a win they did not have and ended up with the same wins, but we had more points. So again the pennant was ours. No matter how the season ended, this team has had a super year, and the playoffs are still to come. The team's record so far is an impressive 32 wins, 10 losses and 5 ties. The manager Rod Goy and the coaching staff of Dan Armstrong, Jim Scammell and John Scammell would like to congratulate the boys on their league pennant win. The 1996-1997 Tier II Atom Rep League Champions are goalies Thomas Dickinson and Gregg Moffat. The defencemen are Marsh Cooper, Jacob Harder, Jeff Orban, Brodie Sorensen, Micheal Maggio and Jason Brown. The forwards are Josh Hall, Kris Armstrong, Micheal Kittirath, Jake Morris, Stephen Howerton, Chris Cleeve, Nick Goy, Ted Scammell, Ryan Martin. The Valley Gravel Bruins will open their playoffs at home Monday, Feb. 17 at 8 pm. Last but not least the Atom Al Bruins management and team players and fans would like to congratulate our Atom A2 team, as they also have had a great season and came away with the league pennant for Tier 4. We're not sure but we believe this is the first time two Atom Rep teams have won league championship banners in the same year. This also speaks well for our Minor Hockey Association.

To start the year, a free skills camp is planned for May 10 and Ups and downs for the juniors LANGLEY - Fraser Valley Junior A Ringette started the week with a 6-4 loss to Richmond, at Minora, on Monday. Richmond started the game strong, but Fraser Valley continued to fight back and tied it up in the second half of the game. However, being short skaters (due to the flu) and the strength of the Richmond team took its toll in the final minutes of the game. Kristy Carlson scored two goals, with singles by Evelyn Neufeld and Michelle Geraghty. Saturday, at the Aldergrove Arena, Fraser Valley defeated Port Coquitlam 13-5 in a fast paced game. Strong defensive play and goalie, Kaeli Campbell, kept PoCo's scoring chances to a minimum, while the offense applied pressure at the PoCo net through the game. Goals were scored by Danielle Altilia (4), Kristy Carlson (4), Leanne Krusel (2), and Evelyn Neufeld (2). 11. The camp will attract many football greats from the past and will be coordinated by Kirk Jones, ex-Edmonton Eskimo, who is also the Wildcats Bantam head coach.

In August players from all divisions will suit up, and play in the first annual "Den Bowl". Teams from the Lower Mainland will be invited to compete with the Wildcats in this fabulous new tournament. All winners will receive their name on a beautiful perpetual trophy. Following this, the playing season will start in late August and after many exciting, fun filled games, end in November.

Wildcats have a no cut policy, every player is given the chance to fulfil their dream. An association of this size obviously needs many coaches and other volunteers. Information for those wishing to help or for players wishing to register is available at the Wildcats office, located in the Aldergrove Mall or by calling 857-4637. For up to date schedules of events, and other information, the Wildcats are on line, and their Web Page can be accessed at www.wild-cats.org or send your e-mail to topcat@wild-cats.org.

Stingers buzz in Interior LANGLEY - The Fraser Valley Petite "B" Stingers played in the Sweetheart Tournament in Kelowna this weekend. The Valley squad boasted a 1-2-1 record. The first game saw a hard working effort by the Stingers in a 4-4 draw against- the Vernon Vikings. Tara Flanagan and Dannika Nymark each scored a pair of goals and were aided by strong goaltending by Amanda Niedjals- ki. The second game saw the Stingers come up against the hometown favourites, the Kelowna Honeywell Stingers. "Facing twice as many shots on goal Amanda Niedjalski really kept us in the running" said coach Marilyn Hirshfield. The Valley goals came from Kim Ayers, Tara Flanagan and Dannika Nymark, with the final score being 6-3 in favour of Kelowna. The Stingers next saw a fast paced game against the Prince George Ice Breakers. The Stingers rallied together, and with some great passing found themselves ahead 5-4. Prince George thought they had tied it with less than a minute left but referees called the goal off, ruling that the ring had been kicked in. The Fraser Valley squad got deuces from both Melissa Hirshfield, and Dannika Nymark, with hard working Amanda Bennett chipping in another. The Stinger 1-1-1 record was good enough to reach the semifinals against Westside. The girls worked hard and gave it all diey had and then some, but the Okanagan team proved too much for the Stingers. The girls ruined Westside's shutout in the last 55 seconds of the game; Dayna Friend showed quick thinking in front of the net by passing tc Tanna Frew, whose shot was stopped, but the rebound was quickly put in by Amanda Benneti for the Stingers. Coach Hirshfield said the game was an experience in fast paced, tough checking ringette, but the Stingers workec hard till the end! FIRST AID TIPS!

'■-, ■?■.&-. **-*— ,■ v; ■ ■ ■, United tnumphs in Delta game THE ALDERGROVE STAR. FEBRUARY 19.1997 ByLLHPUCdNNI ALDERGROVE - United won 2- 1 last Sunday, Feb. 16. The team travelled to North Delta to beat the Gunners. The three points Aldergrove took from the match will aid in their pursuit to the top. Wolverines oust Knights ALDERGROVE - The Century 21 Wolverines came out on top against the Aldergrove Green Knights prevailing 6-3, in Novice Division Minor Hockey action Feb. 13 at Aldergrove Arena. Led by the fine play of goal- tender Josh Udell, the Wolverines to a man played a strong team game, with a commitment to defence and passing. Trevor Cameron and Ryan Johnson led the way with 2 goals apiece, while Jimmy Grange and Steven Hill added singles. The Wolverines are undefeated in their last 4 games and are in action again Thursday, Feb. 20, 5:45 pm at Aldergrove Arena. With only a couple of league games remaining, these points are crucial. As Aldergrove established a feel for the pitch and their competition, they were caught in the planning stages of their strategy by North Delta. Delta opened the scoring with a miss kicked ball that found its way to the back of the Aldergrove net. A goal is a goal, and Delta took the lead 1-0. United players shook their heads and got (heir soccer playing bearings straight. They finished the first half in fine form and kept North Delta's lead to only one goal. No one knows what kind of oranges the team ate at half-time, but Aldergrove United started the second half of die game with a lot of spunk. They moved the ball around North Delta players like they were pylons. In die fifty-fifth minute, United tied the score. Defenceman Stevey Claxton sifted Delta's midfield with a through ball to centre mid, Glen Cameron. With the patience of a tobacco farmer, Glen held the ball and waited for an opening and a chance to shoot It came and Glen smoked the ball past the goal- tender into the bottom right hand corner of Delta*, net Aldergrove didn't let down and went for the win. The team turned it up a notch and in the eightieth minute finished North Delta off. Right half John Shepard carried the hall down the right side. He ended his ran with an outstanding cross that landed right on Dana Ferguson's head. Dana, centre, forward, didn't panic or go for die glory, but instead directed his header to the feet of left half, Derek Watson. Derek controlled Dana's pass and decided to get a little silly. Derek faked left and then right and, when Delta's keeper buckled under the pressure, Derek cranked the ball right between his legs into the back of the net Aldergrove took the lead 2-1. In the last ten minutes of play it was all Delta could do to keep Aldergrove from scoring again. Centre back Gord 'The Barbarian" Dykstra, secured the defence and played like a real warrior The game ended in favour of Aldergrove. Port Moody 25 teams in bonspiel not moody By TOM POOLE ALDERGROVE - When the Port Moody Atom hockey team left town Wednesday night they were not moody - they were just plain depressed. Small wonder after the 8-0 beating they took at the hands of the Hewitt & Co. Atom A-2 Bruins! The tone was set early when Dan Murray scored 15 seconds into the first period. Kyle Barry and Bryan Jones added 2 more before the end of the period. The second period saw goals from Taylor Anderson and Ryan Veitch, while Kevin Carlson, Ryan Veitch (2nd), and Brandon Nobbs added tallies in the third. Picking up assists in the game were Kevin Carlson (2), Bryan Jones, Riley Hogan, Iain Cassels, Kyle Barry, James Macdonald, Ryan Veitch and Darcy Palombi. Brad Thiessen was named as a star for his outstanding performance in goal, along with skaters Brad Waters and Kevin Carlson. The Bruins, having finished first overall in their division, will be idle for the next week while their rivals battle for the right to meet them in the play-offs. LANGLEY - The Langley Curling Club held its 1997 Mixes Open Bonspiel February 14 through to the 16. Twenty five teams participated. The G & H Shop-N-Save "A" Event trophy was won by the Gil Martin rink from Langley Curling Club with team members Carol Bouchard, Steve Martin and Judy Martin, which defeated the Daryl Imric rink from Valley Curling Club in Cloverdale. Third in the "A" event was the Rob Rodland team with Virginia Jordan, Len Jordan and Edith Rodland from Langley.

Belmont offers locals a deal LANGLEY - Belmont Golf Course is offering all residents of the Township of Langley and the City of Langley a 10% discount off their regular green fees. This new policy reflects the club's commitment to the community and recognizes the support local golfers have given to the course. Satisfactory proof of residency such as a driver s licence must be presented (the discount does not apply to special offers such as the $19.95 early bird rate). Bruins edged by Abby ALDERGROVE - The Wilway Lumber Bantam A Bruins hosted the Abbotsford B-l team on February 12 and came out on the short end of the 3-1 score. The first period was scoreless, the teams battled to a 1-1 tie after two periods, and Abbotsford tallied two more times in the third period without a response from the Brains. Marc Windle fired the puck into the Abbotsford net after a nifty spinorama move to account for the Bruin scoring. Carl Ammann and Mark Cassibo drew assists on the play. Ice Chips: The Bruins anaemic offense continues...After scoring only nine goals in the final nine league games, the Bruins responded with 6 against North Van B-l, only to fall back to one again against Abby...The Brains finished their league schedule on February 6 and don't play their first playoff game until February 28 - a full three weeks later!...To top that off, the team lost two of its home ice dates, because Aldergrove is hosting the midget playoff, so the team can't even have exhibition games during this time. I hope the executive passes this on to the powers that be.

Antifreeze safety tips When used and stored safely, and according to Instructions, antifreeze does not pose problems for pets. NC (NC)—Protecting your pet from the hazards associated with ingest', g antifreeze is easy, and imperative. When used and stored safely, and according to instructions, antifreeze does not pose problems for pets. Here ore some ways to protect your pets from harm: 1. When you change your antifreeze, keep your pet on a leash or indoors. 2. Drain old antifreeze into a bucket or container, and never drain where pets can get to it. 3. Be sure to clean up any spills thoroughly and immediately. 4. Keep unused antifreeze in original or well-marked containers and keep out of reach of children, who might spill it near pets. 5. Store antifreeze away from where pets or other animals tike raccoons can get into it Gord Robertson, Vice-President & General Manger for Prestone Products (Canada) Limited, has several recommendations for pet owners. "Use a low toxicity antifreeze such as Prestone LowTox. Low toxicity antifreeze is made from propylene glycol (PG), instead of ethylene glycol (EG) and this provides an added margin of safety for both pets and wildlife. Prestone LowTox also offers excellent freeze- up and boil-over protection while ensuring outstanding rust and corrosion protection to all cooling system parts, including aluminum radiators."

"Serving Abbotsford For Over 20 Years" 30285 Automall Drive Abbotsford 857-8888 An American trucker is lucky to be alive, after going on the ride of his life, wrapped around a west-bound CN train near River Road and 256 Street last Wednesday at noon. Oklahoman Troy Bastiboe was backing his tractor-trailer, loaded with cedar shingles, across the tracks to a mill and didnt see the oncoming train until too late. The trailers were munched, shingles were scattered along the tracks for the best part of a kilometre before the train could stop, and the tractor was dragged backwards alongside the engine. Bastiboe was still walking after the accident, although he was pretty sore the next day when he and his insurance adjuster showed up at Quiring's compound, to take the tractor back home for restoration. "He wasn't moving too fast," laughed Tami Quiring, "but he knows he was lucky." -Kurt Langmann photo fsssss^^^^^^^s^^ iHL 1992 SUZUKI SWIFT £ft QOO 4 dr, auto, pw, power locks, etc ..... ^Uf«IOO 1989 TOYOTA LE VAN auto, low km.......................... $9,988 1988 CHEVY CORSICA £ft OOO 4dr, low km, showroom condition ... ^Of OOO 1988 EAGLE PREMIER 4 dr, auto, ps, pb, pw, stereo .. $4,888 1987 MERCURY TOPAZ GL £__ OSM* 4 dr, ps, pb, pw, air cond, etc ^UfvOO 1987 DODGE COLT 4 dr, 4 cyl, turbo 1990 DYNASTY Clean, well equipped car 1991 JEEP CHEROKEE 4x4, Loaded with extras......... $3,988 $5,988 $12,988 LANGLEYS LARGEST CHRYSLER DEALER!

Brought to you by your local Canadian Tin Aato Centre Flashing lights Wandering Vista (NC)—I drive a 4 cylinder, 2.0 litre, fuel injected 1988 Pontiac Tempest. The battery light has been flashing intermittently for approximately two months now. When the problem first began, my alternator was replaced, however, this did not solve the problem. I took the car back into the shop and they found that the battery needed to be replaced and that the alternator was faulty. Great, problem solved. Wrong. Now the "repair soon" light and the "battery" light flash and when this occurs, the engine cuts out for a split second (the speedometer needle drops and bounces back up to speed). This happens at any time and to date I have been unable to determine even the slightest pattern. My mechanic has been unable to register a code as it happens so quickly and without any warning. Do you have any ideas? Brock ville, Ontario You might try and seek out a well- equipped garage with all the latest GM diagnostic equipment. Included with this diagnostic equipment is a portable computer that can be plugged into the vehicle's on board computer. The vehicle is then driven. As you drive it, and when the lights flash, the portable computer will receive a signal and record and store a corresponding code. On return to home base, the satellite computer is plugged into the host machine and when read by a skilled tune-up technician, the display on the CRT should pinpoint the area to fix. Seal-less '.'-g and stalling (NC)—I have a problem with my 1982 Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. The rubber seal/gasket that surrounds (3 pieces) and attaches to the soft top of the driver's side window is completely lifeless and when it rains, it allows water to enter and soak the floor immediately behind the driver's seat. I have been trying for the past year to locate an outlet for this rubber seal. Chrysler advises that it is no longer produced. Three other . outlets have advised that they only manufacture car parts etc. for automobiles in the 1970's and have not yet gotten to the 1980's. Do you have any information in this regard? White Rock, B.C. A knowledgeable vehicle upholstery shop should be able to find a "will fit" for you. And have you checked with any auto wreckers? They may help you out. Another source may be through the car clubs for older vehicles. Many are U.S. based but their addresses are often in magazines that are available on Canadian newsstands. All stop and no go (NC)—I have a problem with my 4 cylinder, 2 litre, 1989 Tempest. It hesitates and suddenly accelerates after a stop. After doing a complete tune up on my car, with plugs and wires, (I am a retired mechanic), the problem was still there. The service manager at the GM dealership I went to called GM's head office in Oshawa to explain the condition and they came up with a rare condition identifying a blockage in the coolant passage under the throttle body in the intake manifold. They proceeded to flush the system and replace the coolant as it had not been done in two years. Low and behold, the hesitation was gone. I hope this tip may be of help to your readers. North Bay, Ontario (NC)—1 own a 1989 Eagle Vista which did not steer properly from day one. The Chrysler people installed some sort of torsion bar on the rear wheels, all to no avail. The car zigzagged at any speed and was prone to the slightest wind. A month ago, the oil pressure sensor quit, (the dash indicator light came on), and I drove 15 kms to the nearest service centre. When the car was lifted up, it was discovered that the rear left wheel had a slight axle play of about 1 millimetre. The mechanic tightened the castle nut of the axle until I could not feel any play when pushing the wheel in or out. Out of the garage, I immediately felt a tremendous difference. I pushed the speed for the first time in years, past the 90 km mark. This tip may be of help to others with a similar problem. Delson, Quebec ASK THE CAR DOCTOR Address your questions to: The Car Doctor, c/o Canadian Tire Corporation Limited, PO Box 770, Station K, Toronto, ON M4P 2V8. Thank you for detailing the effect and cause of the wandering steering on your 1989 Eagle Vista. A rear wheel with excessive play in the axle is a no- no on any vehicle. As a side commentary, adjusting any bearings so tight that no play exists can cause early bearing failure.

Sticker shock, however, can make those nickels and dimes look pretty good, especially when weighing the facts and figures provided by the Car Care Council in their pamphlet Renew or Replace: Rxfor Making a Decision, Think about investing perhaps no more than the amount of a down payment to fix up your old car, suggests the pamphlet. In a sense, you'd be buying your next car at the right price from someone you (hopefully) can trust: YOURSELF. When and if you do consider this option, be objective. Visit a mechanic and let him inspect your car. He can compile an itemized list of mechanical needs and the approximate cost to put it back in good shape. Next, put the pencil to it. If the car is paid for, you'll probably save money by giving it a new lease on life. Further, by having it repaired you can make your car serviceable for another couple of years while saving toward its replacement And, when you are ready to deal, you'll have a better car to trade. While a mechanic may quickly move under the hood to diagnose mechanical problems, most car owners look first to the outside of the car. They want a nice paint job and no dented fenders or missing trim. Some touch-up work or perhaps a new paint job may be needed. Think about pin stripes to dress it up a bit. Look at the interior. Does the fabric need to be cleaned and/or repaired? Would a sun roof make you happier with Old Faithful? A little money can go a long way toward upgrading a car. To estimate the costs of cosmetic upgrading you'll need the help of a body and paint shop plus an upholstery and trim professional. Once the decision has been made to revamp the car you already own, and depending upon the extent of the project, you may need a little help from your bank. While the bank might have been eager to make a new car loan, what about financing repairs on an older car? Circumstances alter cases, but most banks will finance this type of loan. The way they see it, the sum will be smaller and therefore a reduced risk. The customer's payments will be more affordable and on a shorter term. So consider your options: a new car that may strain the budget and depreciate quickly, a used car that's an unknown quantity, or the car you already own. No matter what major work your car needs, it usually won't be as costly as the first two options. For more information on this topic, send a stamped, self-addressed, business-sized envelope to the Car Care Council, Dept. R, One Grande Lake Drive, Port Clinton, OH 43452. Ask for their free pamphlet described above. 4050403S.TXT Drive safely in rainy weather (NAPS)—"Slow your speed" is the National Safety Council's primary rainy weather message for drivers. Experts at Shell Motorist Club (SMC) urge drivers to refresh their wet weather driving skills to help prevent roadway mishaps and accidents. Safety recommendations for wet weather driving include: • Increase distance between vehicles. Allow two car lengths for evey 10 miles per hour of speed. Watch out for hydroplaning. Hydroplaning means your vehicle's tires are riding on a thin layer of water and have no contact with the road surface. If this happens, take your foot off the accelerator. As you slow, your tires will cut through the water, grip the road and give you control again. Keep headlights, taillights clean. Mud sprayed from the road can cut their lighting power considerably. • Join an automobile club. Auto clubs provide towing and road service benefits to assist drivers. Shell Motorist Club members are reimbursed up to $100 for each incident for an annual $45 fee. Benefits also include emergency lockout service, maps, trip routing and trip continuation allowance.

Over-runs covered, causes explored LANGLEY - In his report, given at Monday's school board meeting, chair Cos Van Wermeskerken said the district has settled the outstanding issues relating to six recent construction projects that resulted in cost overruns. The board will use $424,000 of local capital reserves, the Ministry of Education will put in $624,000, and the consultants, to whom the money was owed, will write-off over $195,000. Usually capital costs are covered 100% through Ministry approved funds. The board believes the problems could be a result of student growth, changing Ministry rules, heavy workloads, poor communi cation and systemic problems, but are still going ahead with the planned independent audit to get to die root of the problem. "Whatever we spend on the audit, will be worth the savings, if we don't have to go through something like this again," Van Wermeskerken said. Trustees believe that improvements are being made to both Ministry and district policies, and it is hoped that the review by an outside consultant will produce further policies and regulations for district financial security. The board will announce the company chosen to do the audit at the next public meeting.

Indian citizen Jagdish Chander who, with White's assistance, came to Canada on a visitors permit last April and recently claimed refugee status, will have to tell his story to the public in order to be considered for refugee status. White is incensed by Chander's 'bogus' application for refugee status, and intends to fight it every step of the way. The Immigration Act states that hearings will be private, unless a member of the public applies to have it open, or the applicant can prove that his life, or that of family members, will be endangered. According to the two board members, who presided over last week's hearing, Chander did not prove that his life would be in danger. He claims he is wanted by Indian police for political reasons, and that he was arrested, beaten and tortured by police. White called tbe board's ruling 'a monumental success as far as precedents go, because usually there are restrictions on access.' "It's a giant step in the right direction, which will hopefully apply to odier hearings as well," he said. White has also won the right to be part of the hearing, and present evidence lo prove Chander does not deserve refugee status in Canada. "I don't find his story to be believable, and I am going to make a case against bis claim when his hearing comes up," he said. m TER CO-OP CO-OP...
