Gas drilling to start ALDERGROVE - Drilling for natural gas will begin here next month, according to a June 10 release from the energy ministry. Minister Anne Edwards said, "Stringent conditions must be met by Conoco Canada Limited and its partners, Dynamic Oil Limited and Stateside Energy Limited, in their program to drill two natural gas exploration wells in the Langley area this summer." The two wells are the same two proposed for drilling in 1992, but plans were delayed when BC Gas withdrew from the partnership after the first exploratory well at Delta failed to produce significant volumes of natural gas. BC Gas was forbidden from passing along the exploration costs to its customers by the government and therefore was forced to abandon involvement in the other two wells. Final regulatory approvals were granted for the two wells on August 4, 1992 by the energy ministry, but drilling was postponed while a new partner was sought. The 1991 well in Delta's Mud Bay area faced litde, if any opposition from neighbors, but the lobby group, Friends of the Fraser Valley has continually opposed any exploration for gas in this part of the Fraser Valley. Curiously enough, large-scale exploration for gas on the other side of the border has encountered litde opposition, too. While a legislative order in council forbidding exploration for gas storage still stands, many residents believe that storage will be pursued by the government in the future should the wells not prove successful in finding gas. Conoco, Dynamic and Stateside Energy (an independent, Canadian oil and gas company based in Calgary) maintain that their interest in the Fraser Valley "is solely to find and produce natural gas." The companies point out that only the government can pursue the storage concept and sill others are forbidden to do so. Langley township councilor Muriel Arnason told The Star that news of the exploration work getting the provincial government's approval shows that the New Democrats "are doing a good job of alienating just about everyone." The township council is on record as unanimously opposed to gas exploration in Langley, but their motion has not had much influence in Victoria. The two wells are to be situated in the south Langley area, one Please see page 2... DOOMSDAYSCENARIO OUTLINED "Friends" stage fearsome comeback By RUDY LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE - "Mr.Harcourt, read my lips: you have lied," a local man said with pathos Monday night. Premier Mike Harcourt was not present, but 'Friends of the Fraser Valley' chairman, Al Vickers was taking every advantage of the fact that the public Aldergrove's second deputy to the Youth Ambassador, Emily Stone, graciously donned an umbrella and agreed to stand under the biggest fountain for the official opening of the new water park, Saturday at Aldergrove Park. The water park will be open weekends only for the wee ones, until the end of June and then daily from July to September. -Tim Attwood photo SURPRISED BY REACTION Councilors will think about implementing plan By RUDY LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE - It's a good plan, councilors say. They have, nevertheless, postponed implementation of the latest amendments to Langley township's rural plan for two weeks. Decision came less than a week after almost a thousand people turned out at a public hearing at Poppy school to protest the massive rezoning proposal. "It needs a little more study," Gpun. John Scholtens said Monday night. He added that it amounted to "large-scale down- zoning in 80 percent of the municipality." Besides, he said, "We must not only listen (to) but also hear the public." LARGER 'FARMS' CREATED The plan's rezoning proposal would change lot sizes in rural areas from 4.2, 8.4 and 18.5 acres to a new minimum of 198 acres. "It i^L-not a bad thing," said Coun. JohjV-€%mpbeU»*Jt«s(*j^4ct prevent the carving up of the municipality into 50 by 100-foot residential lots "border-to-border", he said. Other councilors also liked the plan which they have worked on for the past three years. "It's a good plan," said Coun. Steve Ferguson. Only "minor things" would have to be changed, he added. Coun. Aubrey Searle warned against "throwing the baby out with the bath water," and Coun. Muriel Arnason said she was ready to vote in favor of the plan's approval right then ~ and there. ARNASON CONSIDERS FUTURE "The majority of the people (of Langley) support it," she said. "We must pass that plan now for the future of our children and for the-future of their children." Coun. Trudi Campen indicated that she was surprised by the outcome of last week's public hearing. On one hand, she said, jgeople;,want to,j>resewe the envi-, ronment and lifestyle of Langley, and on the other they want to be able to subdivide their real estate. SPECTATOR NOT IMPRESSED Almost all of the 75 speakers at the hearing told the officials present that the days of farming, in Langley have passed. Either it is not economically viable or the land is incapable of sustaining agriculture, and to top it all off, farming has become an intolerable vocation because of urban pressures and the proliferation oi governmental restrictions, the council members were told. It is not going to change the situation if a lot of 20-acre 'farms' are created in the township, the speakers argued. They were cheered on by the 1,000 or so local landowners filling the school theater. Councilors will think about it for another couple of weeks. "Public hearings are a scam," someone in the audience com- meeting in council chambers was being televised by Rogers Cable. "We (residents of Langley) have been snowed," Vickers Please see page 2...

That's one of the findings of a survey conducted as an assignment by University College of the Fraser Valley social geography students under the direction of instructor John Belec. Almost two-thirds of the 167 Matsqui residents surveyed said they would favour amalgamation, while Abbotsford is "virtually a dead heat", according to Belec, with 36% in favour of amalgamation, 41% against it, 16% undecided, and 7% having no opinion. The survey also found that residents or Abbotsford and Matsqui generally give their neighbourhood a 'B' grade when asked to rate how friendly, safe, clean, and peaceful it is. The main focus of the survey was people's sense of their neighbourhood, including how they define its boundaries, and how they feel about their neighbours. "Studies show that the neighbourhood is becoming aiore important as a place where people live their lives," Belec notes. The students delivered the surveys to randomly selected households in eight neighbourhoods, spread out among the Abbotsford/Matsqui region. The survey results show that" there's extreme variability in the way people define the boundaries of their neighbourhoods, with some counting only their cul-de-sac, and others stretching it out for blocks. "One common factor is that people tend to look at the major road arteries as a framework," notes Belec. "For example, the people in the area known as McMillan use Marshall and McMillan roads as a starting point when thinking about boundaries." The survey also found that in many ways the two communities of Abbotsford and Matsqui function as one, and not everyone knew which of the two they lived in. "Most people were right, but a significant number did not know or were wrong," notes Belec. Although most people liked their neighbourhoods and felt Please see page 10...

Seven councilors were wearing eight-inch "badges of honor" stating: No Drilling - No Storage, provided by the 'Friends'. The group staged a noisy comeback last week when it was announced that the drilling for Gas drilling plans to be "updated" From front... near Zero Avenue between 248 and 256 Street, and the other near 232 Street and Old Yale Road. Edwards said the, "earlier drilling approval is still in force (and) due to a delay in the drilling program the ministry will ask federal, provincial and municipal review agencies to update their comments. The emergency response plan for the immediate area will also be updated. As specified in the approval, a local citizen's advisory council will continue to monitor operations and provide input." Approval conditions include 24-hour noise and traffic monitoring and security, containment and proper disposal of all waste and drilling fluids, preparation and reclamation of all disturbed areas under direction of a qualified agrologist, and groundwater monitoring by an independent, local hydrogeological specialist before, during and after drilling. Edwards said that the three companies have also been told that additional conditions may be added "following consultation with referral agencies." Conoco spokesperson Bob Spring said that, "It is anticipated that the drilling will commence in early July and be completed by early October. Conoco will continue to be the operator of the drilling program (and) to ensure minimal disturbance to the community and the environment these wells will be drilled with the same extra measures used for the Mud Bay well in Delta during September 1991." gas in the lower mainland will resume, this time at two locations in Langley. An unsuccessful drilling was completed last year in Delta. PROJECT 'INSANE' * "We must rally thousands of people," Vickers said. "It is an insane and needless project that could prove to be the greatest disaster in B.C., - perhaps in Canada." The 'Friends' did their part to defeat the former Social Credit government in British Columbia and had placed all their hopes arid dreams in the hands of the Harcourt administration. Vickers once more went to the attack against the exploration companies. "An explosion in Murrayville could easily wipe out a hundred people or more," he claimed. He added that he did not trust the industry either. Claims that the gas found, if any, would not be exported to the United States, should be considered in their true context, Vickers said. He claimed he had inside information that would prove that "lethal methane" gas would be stored in underground caves "under tremendous pressure" and used to fuel giant dynamos that would produce electricity for export to California. IMPORTERS OF SMOG British Columbia's lower mainland would be left with the pollution and the smog, Vickers said. "California will export their pollution to B.C." He also had harsh words for the NDP cabinet, the "arrogant bureaucrats" and the "industry elitists." "None of them will be living in Langley," he said. "Not because they are cowards. But simply because they're not stupid. They will be parking their butts in West Vancouver and Calgary." Coun. John Scholtens said the proponents scared "the dickens" out of him, and fellow Coun. Muriel Arnason urged the local politicians to send a letter to provincial mines minister Anne Edwards reiterating council's opposition to the drilling program. "Don't write and don't fax," urged Vickers. "Phone. Day and night." THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY The Township of Langley has developed a draft of heritage sites in the municipality. Sites on the list include homes in both urban and rural areas, commercial, institutional and farm.buildings, trees, cemeteries and roads. The purpose of the list is to indicate sites that are considered to be of heritage importance to the municipality. A heritage management plan is in the process of being developed. This plan will consider a number of measures to assist in preserving the sites in the heritage listing. vfji Three open house meetings will be held to provide an opportunity for residents to review these sites. The open houses will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on: Tuesday, June 22 at Aldergrove Elks Hall, 27309 Fraser Highway; Wednesday, June 23 at Murrayville Community Hall, 21667 - 48th Avenue; and Thursday, June 24 at Fort Langley Community Hall, 9167 Glover Road.

Lopushinsky points out that an April 4, 1992 referendum in the city called for a separate detachment with a police station located inside city borders. The mayor has led a campaign to dissolve the 20 year old agreement between the city and township on joint police services. "The B.C. government has denied our citizens' decision on policing," said Lopushinsky. "The attorney general's rejection is tantamount to denial of justice to our 20,000 citizens."... The mayor added that an appeal to premier Mike Harcourt fell on deaf ears. "Unfortunately, Premier Harcourt relied on the Transit commissioners want increased gas tax VANCOUVER - At the regular meeting of the Vancouver Regional Transit Commission, June 9, they unanimously agreed to request the provincial government to grant a one cent a Hire tax increase to help fund the SkyTrain Phase 1 debt. The proposal was agreed upon by all members of the commission: Mayor Bob Bose, Mayor Gordon Campbell, councilor Ubby Davies, Mayor Murray Dykeman, Mayor Greg Halsey-Brandt, Mayor Betty Toporowski, and commission chair Mayor Len Traboulay. The proposal will see the province contribute an additional $10-million a year to the cost of SkyTrain's Phase 1 debt, a matter of longstanding dispute between the previous government and the commission. The new proposal is designed to break the transit financial deadlock in the Lower Mainland. "I note that the commission has reduced their deficit by more than half this year and urge them to continue on that course," says minister responsible for transit, Glen Clark.

"The premier has been informed that RCMP headquarters and the township of Langley oppose our request because of their vested interest in the status quo... a conflict of interest. The solution to this problem is to meet at the table of friendly negotiation and give full consideration to the hard and true facts bearing on the city's request. Can we meet face-to-face?" He said the city has paid millions of dollars for services, but the "top RCMP officers of B.C. have denied the city the right to an independent audit. Is it not proper for those who pay the bill to know what they are paying for? If there is nothing to hide why are they refusing to let- us see the books?" Lopushinsky said the city spends 42 percent of its real property taxes for policing while neighboring jurisdictions spend only 17 to 25 percent. He also . said that since Cloverdale lost the RCMP building to central Surrey, the town has "experienced an upsurge in crime." His eight page letter to Gabelmann argues against the points made in the government's denial of separate city police services. Local politicians protest the laws of the land MURRAYVILLE - A letter will go off to solicitor general Pierre Blais on Langley township letterhead pointing out to the federal minister local concerns about the criminal laws of this country. Municipal councilors here became upset with the recent con- viction of a sex offender. Judgment, they said, was far too lenient, and subsequently they struck a citizens committee to explore the whole situation. They wrote to attorney general Colin Gabelmann in Victoria expressing the same concerns and this week received a reply from the assistant deputy in Gabelmann's department. The reply was referred to the committee. Assistant deputy Ernie Quantz gave a lengthy summary of the judicial reasons behind the 18- month sentence handed to Aldergrove businessman Warren Stanley Day by Judge Eugene Sather in Langley provincial Day is presently serving out the sentence at the Stave Lake correctional center. Upon release he will have to report to a probation officer, and will have to take psychiatric treatment and counselling for alcohol abuse. He must not be alone with any female under the age of 16 and must not operate or'be employed in a pet store. He had two earlier convictions for indecent exposure and sexual assault. The judge found that Day did not use force nor attempt to coerce the victims into touching him when he was charged with eight counts of sexual touching and three counts of common assault.against underage females in his Aldergrove pet store. _ G.S.T.and MEASURING VERTICAL BLINDS MINI BLINDS 2 FOR Purchase one custom-made vertical blind at the resular price and receive a second blind of the same style FREE OF CHARGE.

JUNE 17. 1993 'BORN-AGAIN". SAYS COLLEAGUE Scholtens 'gets' environmentalism MURRAYVILLE - A local councilor was named "a born-again environmentalist" by one of his fellows Monday night. Coun. Steve Ferguson coined the phrase and attached it to Coun. John Scholtens. Scholtens had originally claimed that there were absolutely no fish in the Salmon River because any migrating salmon was chopped up by the pumps at the lift station. Later he recanted and admitted that the small Fraser River tributary had been identified as the most important coho stream in the lower mainland and of having the potential to produce 20 percent of all the cutthroat trout in the Fraser \611ey. Scholtens also said the river running through Langley and Fort Langley "is the home of the rare and endangered Salish Sucker, with the only known resident population in any stream tributary to the Fraser basin." The 'Salish Sucker' should be made the emblem of the municipality, he said, adding that perhaps it wouldn't look that great beside-the mayor's signature on the township's letterhead. Scholtens has had a running battle with local environmentalists who have tried to stop the Belmont golf course development adjacent to the Salmon River. Senior prizes given LANGLEY - There were some big winners in the Seniors' Week celebrations hosted by the Langley Seniors Building Foundation. The raffle was held to raise cash for the new seniors' centre in Langley that will be completed in October. The Square Foot Bingo saw first prize of $1,000 cash go to S.N.E.

This is the slowest growth since the level of 1.7 per cent was posted in the fourth quarter of 1990. The total value of outstanding residential mortgage reached $291-billion. First quarter results reflect, "low activity in housing markets due to the exceptionally harsh winter especially in Atlantic and Central Canada," said Marc Pellerin, CMHC's capital markets economist. Pellerin added, "Mortgage lending activity should pick up with the return of spring and a better economy in coming months." Issues of NHA Mortgage Backed Securities remained high during the first quarter of 1993 totalling 118 new pools for a value of $1,912-million in comparison with 128 new pools totalling $2,057-million in the fourth quarter of 1992.

Sals 5 THE'ALDEBQROVESTARWUWE'17. 1993 Busy days for British Columbia's 'speech police' By FRED GINGELL, Opposition Leader Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of our democratic process. But now, big brother Mike Harcourt and his NDP speech police are planning to limit your individual and collective right of freedom of expression. In amendments to the Human Rights Act, the NDP has eliminated the section allowing people to freely express their opinions on a subject in speech or in writing. When governments rescind existing protections of citizens' rights to freely express their views, all our democratic institutions are threatened. With this legislation, the NDP goes too far by denying the right to freedom of expression. Of course, it is essential that society has strict regulations to protect individuals and groups from hate-mongers, but what the Harcourt government has done goes beyond this necessity. The amendments to the B.C. Human Rights Act broadens the scope of .the act to include publications, and allows the provincial Human Rights Council to regulate publications and the media. Government has no right to stifle the freedom of the press. Nor does the Harcourt government have the right to contravene the fundamental freedoms of every Canadian espoused in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Since the Harcourt government does not have the intestinal fortitude to withstand public criticism of their policies, they are now trying to muzzle their critics. These new changes to the Human Rights Act will have the potential to restrict editorial comment and prevent controversial political cartoons and publications which may in fact be fair comment. Even more troubling is the fact that these amendments will be extended into our schools. The concept of censorship and book burning was renounced decades ago. Now, the Harcourt government wants to turn back the clock and interfere with the education of our children. The danger of this bill is to teach children and citizens to fight hate with hate. One can only fight hate with truth and fact. This legislation could prevent groups attempting to protest and make their views known against organizations and individuals they feel are spreading hate and spiteful misinformation. If groups or individuals do take such action, they will now, under the Human Rights Act, be in contempt of the legislation and guilty of spreading prejudice. Taken to the extreme, a holocaust museum could have to be closed because it would portray the German people in a negative light. This ill-conceived legislation will overburden the Human Rights Council with new and numerous complaints without providing the council with the necessary resources to discharge its duties. The NDP has now placed the Human Rights Council in an untenable situation. It may have to make rulings on moral and The Aldergrove Star Established in 1957, The Star is an independent, family-owned, subscription-only, weekly newspaper serving the community of Aldergrove, in the Langley and Matsqui municipalities.

Once again the incompetent Harcourt government has allowed their ideology and their sense of wanting to appear righteous to overrule reason and practicality. I join with Liberal human rights critic Val Anderson in calling on the Harcourt government to immediately withdraw the Human Rights Amendment Act and introduce specific legislation that deals with hate literature and hate publications. Our fundamental rights are inalienable. No government has the right to abridge them. We must let the NDP know that we will not stand for this legislation and their paternal ideologies. We must all have the right to freely express our opinions. One final issue: This act is probably contrary to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and is thus unenforceable. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PCs fiddle while we burn Editor, The Star, Sir, In 1984 when the Conservatives came to power in Ottawa, Canada's debt stood at $180-billion. To date, it's $450- billion, - a lot to celebrate about. And celebrate they did this past weekend in Ottawa. It was big on hoopla and short on real substance the country so sorely needs. And costly. They said it cost $300,000. Fiddling while Rome burns. To this horrendous debt of $450-billion the Debt Clock that overlooks Vancouver's Georgia Street adds $65,044 every minute or around $93.5-million each day (as of Feb. 9, 1993). This debt translates into $17,000. owed by every man, woman and child in our country. This was on the front page of the June Ambassador, the voice of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada. Canada's unemployment Stop the nonsense, please Editor, The Star, Sir, An Open Letter to PAC groups, politicians of all parties and those with urgent educational concerns regarding the year 2000. The point is that, contrary to all the assurances given by those hired to sell us on the controversial Year 2000 primary program and contrary to all the assurances of the B.C. department of education that the complex classroom methods and child directed philosophy of the Year 2000 have been tried in the fires of Great Britain's school system and come out as gold - the flat truth is that in Great Britain it is deemed to have failed. Doubtful parents, skeptical educators and apprehensive tax payers have heard it over and over again, "Great Britain has had many years of success with a similar program." Amid all the brain boggling academic bafflegab this has been the one recurring triumphant chorus: "years and years of success in Great Britain". But the Brits are not claiming success. Instead, an urgent, strongly worded order has gone out for teachers to "abandon the highly questionable dogmas" that "have hampered the progress of primary pupils in the last few decades." I enclose the startling 188 point document (1992) from the British Department of Education and Science co-authored by Her Majesty's chief inspector, the chief executive of the National Curriculum Council and professor of primary education at Leeds University. These British authorities make unequivocal, bluntly critical statements that should be mandatory reading for everyone concerned in any way with the results of education in B.C. They do not mince words as they "contest familiar assertions Please see page 19... Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community.

When one looks at this convention in light of the dismal performance of the Mulroney government and the nearly total rejection of it by Canadians it seems like a "we-couldn't-care- less-about-what-the-Canadian- people-think-or-want," attitude on the part of those who celebrated. What is there to celebrate about when in only a few more years all taxes paid by us will have to go to pay the interest on the national debt? Who wants more of this; what has been termed "Mulroney in a skirt"? Canadians have been betrayed for so many decades by the Liberals, the Tories and the NDP that it's high time to give the two promising parties - the Reform and the Christian Heritage a chance. Remember that the trails of the three old line parties are littered with their wrecks of just about every good promise they've ever made. Canada needs a break. JACK SAWATSKY Abbotsford Throwing the baby out Editor, The Star, Sir, As a supporter of the rural plan and an attendee at both the public hearing and last night's council meeting I am afraid council, by deferring approval, is in the process of throwing the baby out with the bath water. This plan, many months in the making, has the full support of all senior staff from the administrator on down. As well, the mayor and council have had input at every stage of its development Some 500 people attended the public hearing which represents less than one percent of the landowners in the township; it is fair to say that if the public was upset about the rural plan they would have turned out by the thousands armed with petitions and bombarding council with letters. That did not happen, which strongly suggests large public support for the plan. Of the roughly 100 speakers at the public hearing, few were against the concept of preserving rural land, they were against the perceived inequities in the plan. Eric Bysouth, as an example, pointed out how in the Salmon River Uplands one side of the street was zoned small acreage while the other side was zoned 19.5 acres. Larry Ratzlaff pointed out that all the properties on Robertson Crescent, save his, were five acres and he should be able to sell five so he too would conform, and so on and so on. Anomalies in a new plan are not a large problem and should be addressed. However, the reaction of some councilors last night was pathetic. First out of the chute, moving to defer was John Scholtens, who spoke vaguely of the hardship the plan would cause. Trudi Campen then spoke of the 500 people who turned out for Langley's biggest public hearing and of the strong opposition to the plan voiced at the hearing. Mrs. Campen, who just can't seem to grasp issues, was influenced by the one percent who turned out rather than the 99% who did not. Muriel Arnason was her usual self, asking council not to defer but rather to face up to the issue and vote on it. John Campbell in a rare display of political courage and leadership said he was in favour of the plan as you had to draw the line and start somewhere. He pointed out that the land outside the rural plan could accommodate a population of 170,000 people and asked council how big did they want Langley to get? He, too, wanted a vote. Steve Ferguson, who doesn't seem to like tough issues, was in favour of a short deferment. Aubrey Searle, usually the "voice of reason", was disappointingly in favour of deferment. Mayor Beales was his usual self on issues like these. Sadly, it was deferred, probably not to see the light o£^ day until after the next election. Well, council, staff were in favour, the people too (the Langley Tomorrow survey proved that) and now you are waffling. Why don't you have the courage to get on with it? Any anomalies, and there are some, can be dealt with by amending the plan after passage. Are councilors Campbell and Arnason the only two interested in preserving rural land? You could take the heat off yourselves by putting it to a referendum or perhaps the upcoming election will be the referendum. BRIAN WESTWOOD Langley Is there a freedom to choose? Editor, The Star, Sir, On May 27, a courageous (Langley) British Columbia school teacher named Norma Janzen launched an historic court battle for freedom. Mrs. Janzen was fired, after teaching children with special needs for 24 years, because she refused to join the teachers' union as a member. Now, she is fighting back by challenging the constitutionality of the law which tried to force her to join the union. She isn't challenging the requirement that she pay union dues, only that she be forced to join the union as a member. For Norma Janzen, the decision not to join the union was a personal one. When she was fired in June, 1990, she was teaching children with learning disabilities. She knew that if she joined the union as a member, she would be unable to cross a picket line in the event of a strike and would be forced to abandon her students. Mrs. Janzen, a woman of strong principle and professional dedication, chose not to join the union despite the ultimatum. She believes that as a Canadian citizen, she has the freedom to associate - or not to associate - as guaranteed under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. She will argue in court that requiring membership in a union as a condition of employment violates the Charter and should be struck down. It is likely that her case will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court of Canada. If she wins her challenge, she will restore an essential freedom to hundreds of thousands of other Canadians who are currently forced to join unions. Certainly, Norma Janzen has a long fight ahead of her but it is a ^worthy battle. Union closed shops ha_y.e_n6 place in a free society. DAVID SOMERVILLE, Toronto THE ALDERGROVE ^TATt. JUNE 17*1993 Summer school cancelled over teacher dispute LANGLEY - The annual summer school program has been cancelled and both the school board and teachers' union are blaming each other for the situation. The summer school provides core subject courses to students who wish to catch up or advance during summer break, and normally expects about 400 students to enroll. LTA president Diane Gorton said, "This cut is absolutely unnecessary. It has been added to a long list of unwarranted cuts in services to students. Counselling, learning assistance, library and resource programs have been reduced or eliminated by the Langley school board in recent weeks." The board said that the Langley Teachers' Association direction to members not to supervise students and not to provide student marks to administration has "created several problems for the annual July half-day school. I "Normally, a minimum of two teachers and one administrator supervise summer school students before class, during mid- morning break and after school," said director of schools, Alex Holm. To do this with one administrator will not ensure the safety of 400 students, particularly when the students come from all over the district, and there's no time to get to know them. Experience in the past has shown that adequate supervision makes the difference between a summer school that functions well and one that doesn't." Course marks are an additional problem because with teachers directed not to provide marks to administration, the district would not be able to transfer course marks to schools in time for September, said Holm. "The district has aiso had no assurance from the LTA that students in grades 8 to 10 will know whether or not they need to go to summer school. We regret having to take this step and we will encourage our students to enroll in the Surrey or Abbotsford school district summer schools. The district will accept marks from both those schools." Gorton said teachers support the summer school concept and are currently recommending to some students that they take summer school courses. "Cutting summer school is clearly another bargaining tactic aimed at intimidating teachers at the expense of hurting students. Does cancelling summer school mean that the board does not anticipate settling by the end of June? Langley schools need a settlement now to ensure a smooth beginning in September." * NOTE: ALL DUTIES AND TAXES PAID AT PORT OF ENTRY.

(at the Best Western) THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JUNE 17. 1993 We are the champions! The Senior Boys Rugby team is proud to bring home the first boy's provincial championship to Aldergrove A year to remember for rugby club ALDERGROVE - During the spring break the Aldergrove Secondary rugby team embarked on a once in a lifetime trip to Europe. This enormous educational and athletic undertaking (a first at A.S.S.S.), involved tremendous support from the parents and the community at large. The extensive itinerary included 16 days in Europe, five rugby games against schools and clubs with 100 year old rugby traditions, and daily trips to world famous historical sites. They would like to take this opportunity to inform you about the successful tour and the remarkable rugby season that followed. The tour started on March 11, as they departed for Gatwick Airport in London. The schedule began with a walking tour of London with visits to the Tower of London, Hyde Park (where captain Mike Parkinson held an audience captive at Speaker's Corner), Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square. The following day was the match against St. Dunstan's College. Before leaving London for Liverpool, they spent the morning at the Imperial War Museum. In Liverpool, they were hosted by St. Anselm's College (a school that has offered rugby since 1886). While in Liverpool, they visited the Beatles Museum, and took day trips to Chester (a mediaeval walled town), as well as Caernarvon Castle on the north coast of Wales. Students climbed the towers and explored the narrow passageways of a casde built for the Prince of Wales in 1250 A.D. The real meaning of history was starting to be appreciated by £s^a&s3KE*m£S^v thru Your Outdoor Pool Saturday, June 26 to Monday, September 6,1993.

June 29-July 15 July 20 - Aug 5 Aug 10-Aug 26 Secondary School and the community of Aldergrove that supported their tour so generously. the players. En route from Liverpool back to London, they stopped for two hours at the town of Rugby and played an impromptu game of rugby at Rugby School - the very field where the game was born back in 1823! They had their picture taken in front of the plaque which tells the story of William Webb EllisVthe boy who picked up the soccer ball and ran with it. ' Once back in London, they were hosted by Judd School in Kent - an area south-west of London that was hard hit by bombing in WWII. Next, it was across the channel and on to Paris. Cr&ssing the channel, they looked back on the White Cliffs of Dover and those stories about Dunkirk and Dieppe became far more than just imagination. Landing in Calais, they were comforted that their coach was finally driving on the correct side of the road as they made their way to the Canadian War Memorial at Vimy Ridge, the site of a key battle in WWI. On entering the grounds at Vimy students were unnerved by the sight of the battlegrounds, where holes the size of houses still remained - a reminder of the horrors of war. They wandered through the trenches that have been restored, and searched the walls of the huge stone monument for family names of the brave soldiers that had died for Canada and democracy. Many students found their family names inscribed there - they were certainly humbled by the experience. They were also particularly struck by the thousands of crosses at the cemetery, crosses which seemed to go on forever. In Paris, they were hosted royally by the Rugby Club of Melun, a town about twenty minutes south of Paris. The red carpet was rolled out as the mayor's office gave an official reception and "bienvenue". Hosts provided a coach, driver, and guide for the entire six day stay. They played two games against Club Melun, one against their junior side and one against their cadets. Our team distinguished itself as they came up with their first and second victories of the tour, winning 21-11 and 30-16. Aside from the rugby they saw all the sights of Paris, including a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and a visit to the Notre Dame Cathedral. The "piece de resistance" was a one day excursion to the incredible Palace of Versailles. Talk about the lifestyles of the rich and famous! Throughout the stay in France, students had a chance to "parley-vous"; some did well, but others had to run to coach Dennison who took on an additional but enjoyable role as the interpreter. Student athletes represented the school and the community with great distinction. They learned valuable lessons about history and other cultures, and also learned what the game of rugby can offer. The lessons learned in Europe translated into amazing success on the rugby field as the blue machine re-entered the regular league play back home. Since ar- riving back in Canada, Aldergrove Senior Rugby team has not been defeated in 13 straight games! The only losses came in an exhibition AAA tournament in North Vancouver where they nearly knocked off #3 ranked AAA power Carson Graham. During 13 consecutive league and playoff victories, they had only five tries scored on them. In league play their average margin of victory was 33-3- They defeated D.W. Poppy 20-8 to earn a berth in the B.C. championships for the second year in a row, and beat L.S.S. 15-11 to receive the second consecutive Fraser Valley Championship trophy! And, if you haven't heard, they also went unbeaten in the B.C. Championship Tournament! Here is the tournament record: B.C. High School Championships 1993; Game 1 - Aldergrove 12, Pleasant Valley 0; Game 2 - Aldergrove 21, West Van 0; Game 3 - Aldergrove 48, JL Crowe 0; Game 4 - semi final, Aldergrove 10, South Delta 5; Game 5 - championship final, Aldergrove 13, Ladysmith 10 (OT).

The Knights met the Port Moody team on June 4. The first game between these teams this season resulted in Langley's fit*st loss of the season. The Knights were determined that this would not be repeated and took decisive action right from the start as evidenced by the period end scores of 5-2, 11-3 and final score of 16-4. Bill Davis and Cory Wilkinson led the points race with five points each, while Greg Kelly, Doug Busst and Bruce Farquar were only one point behind at four points each.

OTTER CO-OP OLD WORLD COLOR AT PARADE The Volya Ukrainian dancers are an award-winning ensemble, and they not only had one of the most colorful and musical floats, they also had members handing out candies to the tots at the Festival Days parade on Saturday morning. And while Peter Warkentin's Liberal party float won a prize, the Reformers showed a sense of humor and civic pride by sweeping up the horse droppings into a wheelbarrow - but not before they stuck a flag labelled "Deficifor "Young Offenders" in each horse plop. It got lots of laughs. -*<urt Langmann photo Scouts will draw ticket for VW LANGLEY - District Scouts will present the ticket draw for a fully restored 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle, on Saturday June 19, at the community kiosk of Willowbrook Shopping Centre at 2 p.m. The guest M.C. is Bob Spence who is recognizable as a former media personality who now maintains a media consulting firm. The proceeds of the raffle are to be distributed to the 1st Willoughby Heights Scout troop and Ponder Park. Ponder Park is an eighty acre nature preserve located at 25199 - 76 Ave. The park is dedicated to the youth of Langley. The park was developed with the cooperation of Langley Scouts, numerous service clubs, and Girl Guides. Ponder Park is capable of handling overnight campers with amenities of piped-in water, 250 person amphitheatre, camp sites, chapel, trails, arid cook shack. Co-chair Bruce Norman said, "the project has not only been successful, but resoundingly successful." Co-chair Graham Cooper also complimented the residents of Langley who purchased tickets. At press time there were a confirmed 14,000 tickets sold. Publicity chair Rob Jones- Cook marvelled at the involvement of local Langley businesses while commenting that "it is difficult to find anyone in Langley or Aldergrove who has not heard about the raffle." In addition to local businesses, Volkswagen Canada became an ally. First prize is a restored 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle, second prize is a framed limited edition Volkswagen lithograph, and third is a Volkswagen jacket. The car restoration was performed by Cross & Norman Volkswagen with assistance from Don Beck Collision, Neighbourhood Auto, A Touch of Class Car Care, J M Graphics, Revelstoke Home Centres, Volkswagen Canada, and Zul's Gallery and Framing. Several businesses displayed the finished car. They included McDonald's, Revelstoke Home Centres, Canada Safeway, Keg In The Country, London Drugs, Aldergrove Mall, and Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The car also appeared in the Fort Langley May Day parade. Scouts win 'chief awards LANGLEY - The annual ceremony to present the Chief Scout Award to deserving Scouts was held on Saturday, June 12. The rigorous achievement award was presented to 103 Scouts located in the Fraser Valley region. Langley district Scouts were represented by Mike Bennet, Corey Bulpitt, Paul Hansen, Justin Price, and Gabe Wiebe. The Chief Scout of Canada is the Governor General. The award was created on September 18, 1973 by then Governor General Roland Michener. After being sworn into office, protocol dictates that the Governor General be asked if he wishes to be the Canadian Chief Scout. Michener not only agreed but suggested that those Scouts who prove themselves to be worthy should be awarded the Chief Scout Award. In previous years this award had been known as the Queen Scout Award. Provincial Court Judge Jack McGivern stood in for the Governor General and individu- ■ ally presented the parchment to all Scouts. McGivern remarked that this was an opportunity for the public to publicly thank all Scouts for their community involvement. McGivern reminded the Scouts that they have been judged to exemplify the principles of Scouting and that along with their new found rights they must also accept their new responsibilities. One of the minimum requirements of the Chief Scout Award is to provide 30 hours of community service. That means these youth have donated over 3,000 hours of volunteer service to their community. In addition, Scouts must meet five other requirements before being permitted to wear the Chief Scout badge on their left sleeve. Langley district Scouts comprises 900 youth, 350 adults, and 24 Scout groups. THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

At Aldergrove Lake Regional Park, join naturalists for Summer Forest Evening, June 24. Take an easygoing stroll beside Pepin Brook and through forests to watch, look and listen for deer feeding in the fields, bats diving for insects, flying squirrels, raccoons, and other night hunters. Discover how to call coyotes, who frequently respond with their haunting, spine-tingling howls. Summer Forest Evening is for adults and teens, and runs from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m, with a fee of $4 per person. At Campbell Valley Regional Park, everyone is welcome to Creatures of the Night, June 25. Snuggle up among cosy bales of hay in the park's grey barn to watch a slide show about nocturnal masters of the night.

JUNE 17. 1993 The Canadian Airlines workers may have good reason to worry about their jobs with the company's well-publicized financial problems, but they still showed they have community spirit last Friday when they gave $25,000 to the Langley Seniors Building Foundation during Seniors' Week at Langley Mall. Amalgamation questioned From front... they knew their neighbours fairly well, there were some dissatisfied people, who had suffered break- ins or were feuding with neighbours over pets or other issues. The increase in traffic was the most common choice of what people did not like about their neighbourhoods, with crime placing second. One sign of the increased vigilance of citizens is that on two occasions students found themselves explaining their activity to police when residents complained about them videotaping in the neighbourhood (this was an optional part of the assignment). Other people wouldn't answer their door although it was obvious that they were home. "When I had my students do this assignment at Nipissing College in North Bay, Ontario, this sort of reaction never happened," Belec notes. Belec and his family are newcomers to the area themselves. He was hired as part of UCFV's expansion into a university college and moved to Matsqui last year from North Bay, a city of a similar size to the Abbotsford/Matsqui area. "North Bay has 50,000 people but it's remote, whereas this area is really being affected by urban pressures from the west," he observes. The area should be a good setting for Belec to focus on his research interest of suburban development. "I'm also a student of this area," he notes, "and it's facing extreme pressure and growth - there are significant changes even over six months." Langley Rotary and Lions also gave big donations last week to the cause, which will see the new multi- use centre built by October in the city. Below, Eric Bysouth and mayor Joe Lopushinsky were two of the "celebrities" to work their buns off, cooking burgers for the senior Citizen guests. -Kurt Langmann photos World's largest logger show coming up VANCOUVER - A series of nine regional eliminations is being held to qualify entrants for the B.C. Open Loggers Sports Competition at the world's largest logger sports show, coming to the 1993 Pacific National Exhibition, August 27 to 29. Each of the regional eliminations will qualify a competitor for one of the events in the B.C. championships. The other three competitors for each of the open championships will be selected during qualifications at the PNE. "We believe the regional qualifications will increase interest in loggers sports shows throughout the province and will encourage additional competitors for the PNE Timberthon," says coordinator Jube Wickheim, who has been staging the PNE Timberthon continuously since 1968. Sponsored by Pacific Equipment Ltd. and Husqvarna Chain Saws, the PNE Timberthon is expected to attract over 200 competitors from Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Denmark for a series of championship events. Although the deadline for entries closes July 31, Wickheim confirms that many top loggers from around the world have already indicated their intention to compete at the PNE again this year. They include Mel Lentz of Oregon, a five-time winner of the PNE all-around championship; top B.C. axeman and sawyer Jack Brown-John of Williams Lake, another former winner of the all- round championship; and nine- time world log rolling champion, Phil Scott of Nova Scotia. "In terms of prize money, days of competition and variety of events, the PNE Pacific Equipment/Husqvarna Timberthon is the biggest loggers sports competition in the world," Wickheim says.

Zany with movie no blood or gore By LARA BRODIE It is a little bit zany, kinda goofy and sorta silly; one just can't helpfbut enjoy a litde show like Life With Mikey. I don't recall one car wreck, I didn't see any blood, I must have blinked when the guts were flying around and my ears were probably sporadically plugged because I don't remember hearing any foul language. Then, of course, there is the possibility that there simply wasn't any of the above. Could it be true? Mercy! What could the producers have been thinking when they got this one bankrolled? Whatever they were thinking, it seems to have worked. It doesn't hurt that our very own Michael J. Fox stars as the now grown-up, one-time child star, Mikey, who is quite comfy just resting upon his past accomplishments. Ok. So the show was slightly formulaic. The story has two people, Mikey and a young girl named Angie Vega (newcomer Christina Vidal) cross paths. Neither of their lives are travelling ideal directions but through each other's friendship they are both able to make changes for the better. No, not very new, but with the backdrop of a children's talent agency, Chapman and Chapman, run by Mikey and his nearly fed- up brother Ed (played by Nathan Lane) and witfflpthe added bofitis of the- adorable, platinum bobbed Cyndi Lauper as the goofy secretary, the flick proves itself to be quite the heartwarming little gem. Fox makes himself at home in the role of the smoking slob Michael Chapman (making us British Columbians once again proud to declare him our own) and young Vidal is delightful as the little pickpocket with a troubled home fjjfe. And that Barry, the cejreal king, what a character! In fact, all of the young talent in this show was fabulous, it gave it great energy and laughs, not that Lauper didn't supply her share, too. It was a fun film and if you don't happen to like it, as one little boy says, "What does it matter, in a hundred years we'll both be dead." ill m ij^S&M CINEMA GUIDE CLEARBROOK CINEMAS 32500 SOUTH FRASER WAY • 850-2233 ONCE UPON A FOREST: Starts Friday Nightly: 7:05, 8:45.

JUNE 17. 1993 Festival offers theatre with commitment Folk festival a diverse blend HARRISON - With an ongoing commitment to community theatre, this year's Harrison Festival features a strong program of both international and local productions. In collaboration with the Vancouver East Cultural Centre and the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, the Sibikwa Players from South Africa make their North American debut at the Harrison Festival with their production of D.E.T. Boys High. "It has taken two years to put this project together, and we are extremely excited about representing this community theatre group from the South African townships", said Harrison Festival executive director, Phyllis Wilson. Co-director and playwright Smal Ndaba sets the action of D.E.T. Boys in a school lavatory where four school boys dream, argue, fight and plot. The toilet, it becomes clear, is a microcosm for the larger mess that is South Africa. The play is a canny study of the fragmented relationships between different classes of South African blacks which have led to impotence against white bureaucracy. Although the play is tragic and cynical, the boys and the school janitor add some welcomed comic relief. The cast also incorporates song and dance, and the explosion of Fred Astaire and African tribal dance gives the audience a joyful lift. The cast and directors, Smal Ndaba and Phyllis Klotz, will be involved in a number of activities during their visit to the festival including a drum and dance workshop and participation in the lecture and discussion series. The cast also presents the music and dance of the townships as Kivela Abafana - Move Boys on the outdoor festival stage. The Sibikwa Players visit the festival from July 9 to 11. Local theatre from July 5 to 8 includes two productions featuring some of the Fraser Valley's finest talents. For the fifth consecutive year, Playworks, a group of Fraser Valley playwrights presents an evening of staged readings. All talented actors in their own right, the group bring their writings to Sibikwa Players will present "D.E.T. Boys High" at the Harrison Festival of the Arts. The players are Charles Dhlomp, Siphwe Dludlu and Themba Ndaba of South Africa. •Ruphk* Coudyzer photo life on the stage. Comedy prevails as the collection of scenes, monologues and dramatic readings depict the lighter side of the dramatic spectrum in an evening of dynamic theatre on July 8. The festival is also producing the play Medicine written by Chilliwack author, LaVerne Adams. "This is the first time the festival has taken on the role of producer, but we felt the play was extremely relevant to our own local area and an important piece of work", said Wilson. "With the help of the Chilliwack Foundation and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, we were able to put all the pieces together for what we think will be one of the highlights of the festival." Medicine is about life in a fictitious Native residential school in the 1950s and deals with themes of family, loss of culture and loss of language. The play is directed by John Carroll and features a cast of eight. The three nuns are played by Janet Downey, Jan Elsted and Gin Juanicotena. The residential school students are played by Heather Commodore, Beverley Kovacs, Annette Peters, Fally Hope and Sandra Bonner, each I DAY BINGO WALK-IN PROGRAM 7 DAYS A WEEK Sun. to Sat.

The festival is scheduled for July 23, 24 and 25 at the Fraser River Heritage Park. This year's event offers a diverse blend of musical entertainment with performers from South Africa, England, Scotland, the U.S.A. and of course, a wide range of homegrown talent. The festival needs your help. As a volunteer-based organization, this event would not happen without the generous support and participation of people from Mission and throughout the Lower Mainland. Volunteers are needed in key areas such as set-up and tear- down, site operations, concessions, gate, stage crew, security, kitchen, campground and more. If you can help in any area contact the festival's volunteer coordinator Bill Pringle at 826-5937. Opportunities abound for both groups and individuals. In the spirit of community cooperation, this year's festival parking will be operated as a fund-raiser for the 1994 graduating class of Mission Secondary School. If your organization would like to tackle a specific component of the volunteer program call the festival office today. The Mission Folk Music Festival has something for everyone.

JUNE 17. 1998 13 MURRAYVILLE • Sludge from a sewage treatment plant in Vancouver should be taken to Cache Creek rather than be dumped at an abandoned Aldergrove garbage dump, a township councilor said Monday night. Councilors were told that the residue could be used as topsoil to cover the old Jackman dump, but Coun. John Scholtens said the 'nutrifor' (a politically correct term for 'sludge') was "highly questionable" in content. In the lower mainland, where it rains a lot, undesirable chemicals would leach into the ground, Scholtens said, while this wouldn't be the problem in the rather dry interior. Neither did Coun. Muriel Arnason like the idea proposed by the Greater Vancouver regional district. Another example of Aldergrove and Langley being used as "a dumping ground", she said. Other council members stressed that the material from the Annacis Island plant would have to be "carefully monitored" if it had to be brought to Aldergrove. An open house meeting has been scheduled for \Cednesday, June 23 in the Patricia hall, to hear what local residents think of the idea. It will be open from 5:30 to 9 pm Representatives from GVRD and the township of Langley will be on hand to explain the proposal. As published in last week's Star, the project will bring a onetime-only application of aged and treated sludge from the Annacis Island sewage plant, called nutrifor, and sandy soil to the former dumpsite. Trucking, mixing and spreading of the mixture will take from six to ten weeks, followed by seeding of grass and shrubs on top. Tentative schedule is for this fall, provided that the township council gives permission. GVRD scientists note that the nutrifor they have developed has met all B.C. Environment Ministry guidelines, and they say it will help prevent rain from leaching the garbage under the surface into the groundwater. A similar f>roject was undertaken at the ormer Coquitlam landfill site with great success, said the GVRD. For more information call the GVRD at 432-6339. Local heritage sites identified LANGLEY - This area has an important heritage as one of the earliest settled areas in the province. Fort Langley, the birthplace of the province, is the site where B.C. was proclaimed as a Crown Colony. Development of Compost demo garden opens LANGLEY - On June 16, the township of Langley's Compost Demonstration Garden, situated at the 4800 block of 221 Street (across from the Municipal Hall parking lot) will be open to the public. The demonstration garden is a "working" garden as well as an educational facility where the public can learn how to compost kitchen and green garden wastes. The facility, when fully operational, will feature vegetable, flower and herb gardens, benches for the public to sit and listen to information sessions and explanations on all forms of compost and waste reduction techniques. The garden will be staffed five days a week (Wednesday through Sunday) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. throughout the growing season by qualified personnel who are eager to inform the public about the many benefits of composting. The township adds that it is not a public dropoff site for household and garden waste. An official opening of the garden will take place in mid- August. the township in the form of farms and small settlements at Fort Langley, Milner, Murrayville and Aldergrove began in the latter part of the 1800s. The township of Langley is in the process of developing a heritage management plan that will include a listing of heritage sites in the municipality and a strategy to manage such sites. A draft listing of heritage sites has been completed and will be available for public review at three open house meetings to be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on: Tuesday, June 22 at Aldergrove Elks Hall, 27309 Fraser Highway; Wednesday, June 23 at Murrayville Community Hall, 21667 48th Avenue-, ana Thursday, June 24 at Fort Langley Community Hall, 9167 Glover Road. The purpose of the listing is to identify sites that have heritage significance. Buildings considered to be of heritage importance include homes in both urban and rural areas, commercial buildings, schools and churches. The listing also includes a number of other sites such as cemeteries, landmark trees and rural roads. A strategy to manage these sites is presently under development. This strategy will consider a number of measures to assist in preserving the sites. This project is financially assisted by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Recreation and Culture through the British Columbia Heritage Trust and B.C. Lottery revenues. River enhancement conference LANGLEY - A mini-conference hosted by the township of Langley and the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods was held on June 2 at the Langley Conference Center. The purpose of the conference was to present the Salmon River basin enhancement project and discuss its technical merits. In order to sustain the agricultural productivity of the lowlands while enhancing the fish population, improvements to the Salmon River drainage system are necessary. A working group consisting of the Fort Langley Farmers Association, an engineering consultant, municipal staff and senior government agencies representing agriculture, environment and fisheries has arrived at a Ban on used oil filters BURNABY - The Greater Vancouver Regional District is placing a ban on used oil filters entering'any of its solid waste facilities, including landfills, incinerator and transfer stations, effective July 1. The action has been approved by the GVRD board of directors. Used oil filters are classified as 'special waste' under provincial regulations because they contain greater than three percent oil by weight. These wastes are currently exempt from the regulations if they enter the waste stream from residences but are subject to controls if generated by business or industry-. An estimated 312,500 used filters are disposed of in the Lower Mainland each month, about two-thirds from businesses like lube shops and large fleet operators. The other one-third comes from do-it-yourself oil changers. When used oil is released to the environment, heavy metals from engine wear and bearings can dissolve in rain and ground water and cause widespread contamination. One litre of used oil has the potential to pollute up to 1,000,000 litres of water. Commercial operators and other large generators of used oil filters are in many instances already directing them to companies that recycle them. However, an estimated 100,000 filters a month come from do-it-yourself oil changers. Disposal of these with household garbage is not an acceptable practice. Do-it-yourself oil changers can call the Recycling Hotline at 1- 800-667-4321 for information regarding disposal of used oil filters, or some commercial oil changers may accept them for a small charge. * About one out of every five people in B.C. jails are there for drinking driving. One in five of all Criminal Code cases heard in the B.C.Provincial Court involve drinking driving. About $15-million is spent on charges alone.

The collection system is presently collecting methane and carbon dioxide gases which are being flared. The Corporation of the Township of Langley is requesting proposals from Engineers, Contractors and Entrepreneurs for the beneficial use of the Jackman Landfill gases. The proposal shall be for the beneficial/economic use of these gases. Persons wishing to submit a proposal can obtain general Terms of Reference at the Office of the Corporation of the Township of Langley at 4914 - 221st Street. Any questions are to be addressed to Arnold E. Backe, P. Eng. at 534- 3211 (local 6144). The proposals are to be submitted by 4:00 P.M. on June 29,1993. The Township will review all proposals submitted and may select a short list of up to three proponents with whom the Township shall enter into final negotiations for the beneficial use of landfill gases. The successful proponent shall be required to enter Into a contract with the Township of Langley, which contract must be approved by Township Council. J.P. ANDERSON, P. ENG. DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING 24-1 OPEN HOUSE LANGLEY JACKMAN LANDFILL SLUDGE RECYCLING PROJECT Langley area residents are invited to attend an open house to learn more about a proposal to use Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) NUTRIFOR (treated wastewater sludge) to encourage plant growth on the closed Jackman Landfill site. The site, located at 272nd Street and 8th Avenue in Aldergrove, was used by the Township of Langley as a muTrkipal garbage dump from l956to 1989. The landfill has been closed and capped and now requires soil enhancement to promote plant growth. The proposed project is a co-operative effort between the GVRD and the Township of Langley. NUTRIFOR sludge is made of organic solids that settle out in the treatment of municipal wastewater. After drying it looks much like good quality topsoil. In sludge recycling projects, the GVRD meets all BC Environment requirements for protecting public health and the environment.

JUNE 17. 1993 Darren Wallace Chinese courses offered at college ABBOTSFORD - Visiting instructor Dr. Zhang Binjiang will offer students an insider's view of Chinese language and culture this fall at the University College of the Fraser valley. A new exchange arrangement between UCFV and Tianjin Foreign Languages Institute in China will bring Dr. Zhang to UCFV's Humanities department for the 1993/94 academic year. He will teach two credit courses this fall, one on modern Mandarin Chinese, and one on Chinese culture, as well as a non- credit continuing education course on Mandarin. The credit courses can be applied towards the UCFV International Studies diploma, or taken for general interest. "China is home to one third of the world's population, and given our location in the Pacific Rim, it is bound to have an impact on British Columbia, both from an economic and cultural perspective," says UCFV international education coordinator Karolla Stinson. "It's important that British Columbians understand our neighbours overseas and, given the immigration patterns, our new neighbours next door." Dr. Zhang is dean of English and an associate professor at his home institution. He has studied in China and Australia and has taught both at home and as a visiting professor in the U.S. He is the first teaching scholar to visit UCFV under a new exchange agreement between the two institutions. The agreement is designed to provide new and exciting learning opportunities to faculty and students of both institutions by facilitating faculty exchanges and making student exchanges feasible. Zhang will also be living and teaching at Trinity Western University during his stay. People interested in taking the credit courses taught by Zhang who are not current UCFV students should apply to UCFV as soon as possible and then register for the course(s). There is a $15 application fee and each course costs $10544. For more- information call dean of academic studies Don Tunstall at 854-4539. Students may register at any UCFV campus location. Aldergrove students take three industrial prizes at BCIT contest BURNABY - Aldergrove Secondary School students scored high on the fourth annual High School Trades Challenge hosted by the BCIT school of trades training. Aldergrove students scored high in three categories, a feat matched only by a Penticton high school. There were more than a hundred technical education students from around the province at the event, competing in carpentry, steel fabrication/welding, joinery, machine shop, computer aided drafting and drafting. During the competition, students completed projects that were judged on quality and time- to-complete. Winners in each area were awarded prizes donated by local industrial suppliers. BCIT spokesperson Rod MacNeill said, "The purpose of the competition is to promote excellence in the province's technical education programs, and make high school students more aware of trades occupations as career options. The Aldergrove team of Novy Dhillon and Sylvia Stearn placed first in the computer aided drafting competition, Darren Wallace and Travis Friesen placed first in the steel fabrication/welding competition, and Dave Halsted and Josh Allen placed second in the joinery competition. Travis Friesen Dave Halsted View from Hospital Hill {ls there a doctor in the house?' Stories about hospitals expansions, bed transfers or increased health care services are not uncommon in B.C. With a growing population in areas of the province such as the Fraser Valley, meeting new health care demands is a priority. Langley is one of those growing communities. More young families are moving to this area to find affordable housing and enjoy the valley lifestyle. As a result, Langley Memorial Hospital is just one of many local services which must expand to meet the needs of this large population. "When a hospital expands, every aspect of our service must be ready for a larger number of patients," says Dr. Jeff Rostvig, Vice-President of Medical Services at Langley Memorial. "We must make sure we have additional staff, that our lab can handle a large number of tests, that our dietary services can feed a larger number of patients and staff, or that our diagnostic services - X-Ray, CT Scans and so on - are able to respond to additional demands." An important element of LMH's plans for the future is availability of physicians and specialists. This is one of Dr. Rostvig's challenges. "As we plan to expand, we have to review the number and types of physicians who have admitting privileges at the hospital and compare this to what is needed", explains Dr. Rostvig. "The physician group at LMH has recently completed a process which included looking at the surgical services available at the hospitals in the Valley, at the number of local residents who had to leave the area for surgery and identifying major gaps between what we have and what we need in this area", says Dr. Rostvig. "From this we were able to see which surgical services must expand and then look at what specialist surgeons we would need to achieve that increase and meet local demands." The recent announcement that 13 surgical beds and additional operating room funds resulting from the closure of Shaughnessy Hospital would be transferred to LMH was a welcome one, according to Dr. Rostvig. "We've added a number of new surgeons who specialize in ophthalmology, orthopaedics, ear-nose- and-throat, and oral surgery, so this expansion of our surgical beds will make it easier for local residents to have their surgery at their local hospital." 1 Josh Allen Novy Dhillon Free legal advice available LANGLEY - Again this summer, UBC law students are offering free legal advice to those who cannot afford a lawyer. The program will hold twenty neighbourhood clinics throughout the Lower Mainland, including one at Langley Family Services. This service is provided by students with the law students' legal advice program with the ; help of the program's supervising lawyer, Brian Higgins. Advice is offered on a variety of subjects, including small claims actions, landlord-tenant disputes, welfare, UIC claims and appeals, WCB, wills, employer- employee relations and criminal matters. LSLAP also offers a do- your-own-divorce program which provides low-cost divorces for those seeking uncontested divorces. LSLAP has been working in the community for more than twenty years and is today B.C.'s second largest legal aid organization. The Langley phone number is 534-7921.

Cull misleads with arbitration offer, say doubting doctors VANCOUVER - Minister of Health Elizabeth Cull is deliberately misleading the public when she claims her government has offered binding arbitration to end the 15-month-old dispute between her government and the doctors of BC, says the president of the BC Medical Association. Dr. Steve Hardwicke, commenting from the BCMA's annual meeting at Harrison Hot Springs, stated that the news release issued June 2 by the health minister in which she said binding arbitration has been offered to the doctors last March 5 was misleading. Cull was quoted in her release as saying that the dispute could be submitted to the Medical Services Commission "for a final and binding decision." "The commission reports to the government, so there is no way that this could be binding on the government," Dr. Hardwicke pointed out. "The fact that Cull knows this illustrates pretty clearly why we have been unable to reach an agreement with her. We have a difficult time taking seriously anything that she has to say." The BCMA president likened Cull's idea of binding arbitration to asking the IWA to agree to having MacMillan Bloedel arbitrate one of their disputes. Dr. Hardwicke had presented to Premier Harcourt and Cull a petition signed by 380,000 British Columbians, demanding that the government use binding arbitration to settle the dispute between the doctors and the government. "That was on March 24, and the number of concerned citizens that have signed the petition has soared to almost 450,000," said Hardwicke. "Cull should stop playing her clever little word games. The public wants a settlement, and so do we." Your Voice By LARA BRODIE and LOIS BRONK How do you feel now that Kim Campbell is the leader of the Progressive Conservative party? THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

Lil Briscoe: I don't think it really matters because I don't think she'll get in come the general election. I think it's wonderful that women are getting up and doing their thing but I really don't think that she should be our Prime Minister, I think Charest would be good. Norma Quiding: I don't like her arrogant ways. I'd rather have had the man get in there, Charest, he's more of a family man. Kim Reilly: I'm looking forward to the changes and to see if she will stand by what she says. It's happened so soon, it's something new for B.C. and for Canada itself. I think the challenge and the work ahead of her is going to be a lot but I'm all for it. Rich Nashnik: It's too early to tell. We'll have to wait until after the election to find out if somebody can do something with the deficit. Sloppy language nothing new, says SFU scholar BURNABY - For more than a decade Geoffrey Bursill-Hall has been transcribing the handwritten thoughts of a scholar who, 750 years ago, urged people to be more precise in their use of language. Robert Kilwardby's bones may well be dust in an Italian grave, but his mission lives eerily on in the 1990s. Just ask today's employers, parents and teachers frustrated by the sloppy language too often exhibited by their charges. Question Bursill-Hall about the motivation behind his magnificent obsession with language in general, and mediaeval scholar- cleric Kilwardby in specific, and the modern-day linguist talks about the valuable lessons that we can learn from centuries ago. A professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University, Bursill-Hall says: "They made mistakes in a period that was quite different from ours, not only in grammar but in their whole way of thinking. We, too, make mistakes obviously, but let's not make their mistakes again." Simon Fraser University bestowed its highest honor on Bursill-Hall, June 3, when it conferred upon him an honorary doctor of laws. The distinction recognizes both Bursill-Hall's stature as an historian of linguistics with an international reputa tion and his contributions to the development of Simon Fraser University, which he joined in 1964 as the nascent institution's very first faculty member. Over the years, Bursill-Hall has become so familiar with Robert Kilwardby that he can even tell when the mediaeval scholar was getting weary as he wrote out his text in Latin using a quill pen and lamp-soot ink on vellum made of lamb or goat skin. "I can see his handwriting becoming somewhat bedraggled as compared to the very clear writing when he was fresh," notes the West \&ncouver resident. Bursill-Hall began his work by tracking down Kilwardby's original vellum texts at sites throughout Europe including the Vatican, Cambridge, Oxford and Berlin. He has these original documents captured on microfilm which he now works on steadfastly in a job that is about two-thirds complete. The text cannot be read quickly, Burnsill-Hall transcribes about 700 words a day. Bursill-Hall says his fascination with things mediaeval began when he was eight or nine years of age in Yorkshire, England after his father took him to the ruins of a monastery. It was the beginning of a life-long passion rivalled only by his love for cricket §il§ Local artist Frank Pokorny donated his original sketch of the F.J. Hart Building to the Alder Grove Heritage Society represented by president, Dave Hockin, during the building's open house Saturday. The society will run out of federal job funding for the restoration project in two weeks, but have a number of fundraising projects planned and also are on a volunteer drive. As Bram de Ruiter said, the painstaking hard work of stripping paint and replacing rotten wood will have been done by then and the easier, more fun jobs can then start and should go quickly. -Kurt Langmann photo Suppressed report favors private forests VICTORIA - An independent report on forest tenure in British Columbia which was suppressed by the New Democratic government for 18 months may have been hidden away because it ran counter to the NDP's ideological commitment to state ownership of all resources. Though government censors have removed carefully all the recommendations made by the independent panel, enough is left to show that the four-man team differed profoundly from the government's anti-private ownership bias, and the views of the major integrated forestry companies. "Private ownership of forest lands has not impeded the development of efficient processing industries," the report states at one point. Government policy for 40 years, the panel observed, has insisted that only through public ownership of the forests can the government ensure balanced economic development. Elsewhere the report disputes the fundamental precept of the major firms such as MacMillan Bloodily and Fletcher Challenge, which insist that if they are not allowed to control large areas of crown timber through forest and tree farm licenses, they would go out of business. But the panel found that the logging rights could be entirely separated from the processing industry. "The separation of ownership of forests and processing facilities has not impeded economic development," the team found. In the U.S., only 20 percent of the forests are owned by processors. Some large, successful manufacturing firms there own no wood supply at all, the panel pointed out. Moreover, the report states that private owners appear more inclined to develop non-timber values, such as camping spots and hiking trails, when they can realise the profits themselves. In British Columbia, where the government is responsible for non- timber values, these are not developed economically. Report was obtained by asking the provincial government to apply the principles of the as yet unproclaimed access to information legislation. The government did so, and also applied the clauses which allow it to censor from the document anything which might hint at future government policy, or raise or lower the value of private holdings. Report was prepared by University of British Columbia forestry dean Clark Binkley, consultant Bob Wood, ex-Social Credit cabinet minister Hugh Curtis, and consultant Harry Cairns. It was supposed to have been released as a discussion paper to stakeholders in November 1991. Graham Lea, secretary-treasurer of the Coastal Truck Loggers Association, said, "They should let the public see it. The public paid for it. I can't figure out why they haven't."

JUNE 17. 1993 Husband follows in wife's footsteps and shares 1993 "Family Physician of the Year" honours |g (NC)—For the first time in its history, the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) has named two doctors "Family Physicians of the Year". They are Doctors Donald and Sharon Blacklock of Comox, British Columbia, who have practised together nearly 15 years. Both family doctors are graduates of the University of Western Ontario Medical School in London; Sharon in 1972 and Donald in 1975. Sharon's original intent was a career in medical research until, she says, she "found out that people were more interesting than laboratory rats". Donald was teaching at a London community agricultural college when he was accepted at medical school. "Just following in the wife's footsteps," he says dryly. The Blacklocks worked together in Halifax, N. S., where Donald did his internship, and in White Rock, B.C., before settling down in Comox, a Vancouver Island community of approximately 6,000 in 1978. "We've always pretty well worked together," says Donald, who was born in Hadrian's Wall, Northern England. "It has a lot of advantages, such as being able to cover off each other's patients, but it's also got some pretty severe drawbacks, like who's watching our kids when we're out delivering babies at 4 am.?" "It has its difficulties," adds Sharon, "and has meant an awful lot of priority shifting over the years, of both family and practice needs. Somehow, though, we've managed to cope—most of the time." "A family doctor here is a doctor 24 hours a day," says Donald. "And," he adds, "while that's part of the appeal of working in a small community, even that's being cramped a bit by the changing perception of physicians. Some of the newcomers, especially retirees who have recently moved to the island seem to think that if we were any good at all, we'd be practising in the city, not here." Doctors Sharon and Donald Blacklock of Comox, B.C. have been named "Family Physcians of the Year" by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. NC FANTASTIC FATHER'S DAY SAVINGS!

Despite occasional problems, the Blacklocks wouldn't trade their Comox practice for one anywhere else in the world. "We jumped at the chance to establish a family practice here," says Sharon, who was raised in Simcoe, Ontario, "and we've never regretted it for a minute. This truly is one of the most beautiful spots in the country and we practise, good, diversified, and sometimes extremely challenging family medicine. It appeals enormously to our love of life in a small community." The Blacklock's patient load varies widely, ranging from newborns (Sharon still delivers her share of the local babies), to the elderly. The practice now includes some 1,500 patients older than 65; a consequence of the rise in retirement residents. One of the "major benefits the Blacklocks have found in practising in Comox is the tolerance small town people have for the faults, needs and foibles of their own. "They care for their own," says Donald, "and that's refreshing. They're not afraid of people with problems, especially psychiatric ones, and will go a long way to support each other. Around here, they're not weird or strange, they're just a little eccentric and need a helping hand." Obviously, not all is peaches and cream in the Blacklock's Comox paradise.

It gets in the way of good medicine, he believes. "Here we are, personally and professionally accountable for providing the best possible health care to all our patients, and we can't even get the ones who need it into hospital when they should all the time. Funding and distribution are major problems, and they will always be major problems until some creative thinking goes into the way health care is managed today in Canada. "We're begging for doctors in small communities and less populated outlying areas. And yet, instead of encouraging them to practice there, and making it easy for them to do so, we continually put barriers in their way. You can't force good medicine; you can't legislate where people will practice, at least not without a significant and potentially harmful backlash." Sharon is talented, soft and nurturing Don is decisive and a man who gets things done. For all the undertones of frustrated anger, there's not a lot the Blacklocks would change in their world. When the very secret nomination for their joint recommendation as "Family Physician of the Year" spread through the Comox community, support for selection of this husband and wife team was widespread and vociferous. Here's what one citizen had to say: "Sharon is talented, soft and nurturing. Her maternity practice is extensive, and the mothers find in her a gentle guide in delivering their babies. Her garden flourishes with the same care as her hand-made quilts adorn many a home. She personally supports many causes, and is as likely to bake brownies for the SPCA bake sale, as donate a seat for the theater fund-raiser. "Don is bearded, tall and taciturn; minces no words; suffers no fools. He is decisive and has a low tolerance for red tape. Others rely on him to make thoughtful, conscientious decisions, and it is well-known that he is the man who gets things done. But, he is exceedingly soft-hearted and gentle, and calls on many elderly patients who live at home but who might otherwise face hospitalization. He, too, is involved in many community activities. "The Blacklocks have three children of their own and are involved in everything they do. They have adopted their interests which subjects them to the same joys and frustrations as other parents. They're comfortable being humans first, and physicians next! "The people of Comox are very fond of their Dr. Don and Dr. Sharon. They appreciate their sense of humour and availability. They know Don won't mind picking up some milk or bread on his way to a house call in a bad weather. They know Sharon will remember a family in vigil and send along some muffins. "Family practice means more to them than serving a patient in the family context; it means practising together as a family, and contributing to the larger "family" of community as well." Hippocrates would have liked those comments very much, had he been around to hear them today. That's precisely what medicine should be about. JUNE 20* FATHER'S . DAY .1 THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

On Sunday members of the Antique Engines Club held a working display of old farming and domestic motors on the site. Blencoe in conflict? VICTORIA - Liberal leader Gordon Wilson has charged Municipal Affairs Minister Robin Blencoe with an apparent conflict of interest over his connection to principals involved in a massive housing project north of Victoria. Wilson said the minister appears to be fast-tracking the Bamberton project in order to assist his NDP friends who are involved in the development. "Blencoe's" official agent in the last provincial election was Robert Milne, who is now the lawyer for the group trying to push through the development," said Wilson. . . AIDS victims banned in USA WASHINGTON - The House of Representatives gave its,stamp of approval last week to the controversial ban on AIDS -infected immigrants, and the White House indicated that it is likely to agree despite President Clinton's oft- stated intention to remove the prohibition. "The president has to work with Congress," White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers said. "He can't act unilaterally on issues like this." TV accused of focusing on the bad VICTORIA - CBC and CTV news coverage put business and the economy first last year, as long as the news was, bad. That is the conclusion of a study of the two networks by the Vancouver-based National Media Archive. An offshoot of the free enterprise Fraser Institute, the NMA looked at a year's worth of evening news programs as well as each network's news magazines. NMA director Lydia Miljan accused the networks of "creating a false sense of crisis." The better the news on the economic front, she said, the less it was covered, and vice versa. As reported in the NMA's monthly newsletter, On balance, Ford Canada's announcement that it would spend $2-billion to expand two Ontario plants and create hundreds of jobs rated only a 22-second mention from CTV news reader Lloyd Robertson in April, 1992. But when General Motors closed two plants two months earlier, the same network sent a correspondent to the scene for a three minute and 16 seconds "story of bitterness and despair" - to use Robertson's own words.

Wenman wants to save valley air OTTAWA - M.P. Robert Wenman has taken further steps towards improving the air quality in the Fraser Valley. In the House of Commons, he introduced the first of three bills that he has drafted to promote the sale and development of low emission and/or electric vehicles in Canada. "The quality of our air is the very basic essence of life", said Wenman. Pointing out that cars are the major contributors to dwindling air quality, Wenman emphasized that, "the airshed of the bioregion of Georgia Puget Basin now with 4.5-million people, is further threatened as that population doubles over the next 20 years to over 10-million people." Referring to the lead that the governments in both California and the Netherlands have played in legislating solutions to the ground-level ozone problem. Wenman stressed the need for "joint action between our federal and provincial, governments to address air quality at our national level*?; The bill, titled "An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act (Electric Motor Vehicles and Low Emission Vehicles)" will serve to provide both individual and corporate consumers with an incentive to purchase electric vehicles or vehicles that run on alternative low-emission fuels, by offering an exemption from the Goods and Services Tax for a period to end January 1, 2005. Wenman intends to introduce two additional private members bills to the House of Commons that complement this initiative. The second bill will serve to provide an incentive for individuals and corporations in the form of a one-time income tax write-off for the purchase of electric vehicles, and any equipment necessary for their operation. It will also serve to implement regulations requiring a certain percentage of fleet (automobile) purchases to be comprised of electric vehicles. This bill would also provide a tax incentive to promote the manufacture, sale, fuelling and maintenance of electric vehicles in Canada. In addition, Wenman plans to complete the "link in the chain" by introducing legislation to the House that will require that 2% of all vehicle purchases by the year 1998 to be low-emission or electric vehicles. "We must take the necessary measures to ensure that our air is preserved for the generations to come", stressed Wenman. "We are never going to take the car off of our roads in our generation or in our time...Therefore we are going to have to deal with these alternatives. It is our responsibility to take this action.. .time is of the essence." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Logo hypocritical? THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JUNE 17. 1993 19 Editor, The Star, Sir, (The following is an open letter to Langley school board chair, Marlene Grinnell) We, the staff of Betty Gilbert Elementary, wish to convey to the Board of School Trustees our utmost concern regarding their removal of the position of the Learning Assistance and Education rhetoric has no value today From page 4... in the rhetoric of primary education." "The resistance to subjects at the primary stage is no longer tenable. Much topic work has led to fragmentary, superficial teaching and learning." "The problem of shortage of subject expertise is now an acute one." "Too many topics amount to little more than aimless and superficial copying from books and offer pupils negligible opportunities for progression from one year to the next." They speak of the Year 2000 method of grouping students (what we in B.C. call 'family groupings') "in the classroom as ones that are excessively complex and that frustrate diagnosis and assessment, task matching and pupil learning". What are the results when every class or school develops its own topical units of study without common textbooks? "The broad picture remains that of unacceptably wide differences in the quality of teaching and in the standards which primary pupils achieve between schools and between classes within schools." They go on to say, "the needs of some of our most able children have quite simply not been met...an ideological problem created by an obsessive fear of being deemed elitist." They feel a "proper emphasis on the teacher as a teacher rather than a facilitator is critical in raising standards." These words are just a few of the warning flares being sent up in Britain,about their similar-to- B.C. methods and philosophies in education. But in B.C. every warning, every reasonable questioning of the wisdom in making a wholesale conversion to this highly idealistic and unworkable experiment succumbs and dies under the relentless power of the Year 2000 juggernaut. Across the Atlantic, the British cry is "abandon the dogma". Notice that they call it what it is, a "dogma". Gage's Dictionary defines the word "dogma" as "an opinion asserted in a positive manner as if it were the truth." Many of our own educators have privately predicted that the B.C. Year 2000 will result in an academic mess that will be referred to as a disaster for decades to come. Some have even gone to Victoria to plead the cause of common sense. And yet, British Columbia goes on with it in blind, unthinking denial. Is it really inevitable that we must submit our children to an ideology that puts their educational future in jeopardy? We are paying taxes for this experimental folly now. That is as nothing compared to what we and our society will yet pay. And our children? They will pay and pay again and again. Who will have the courage and tenacity to stop this Year 2000 nonsense? It's time to abandon the dogma! Contact your politicians, your school superintendents, your PAC group. Tell them stop it! Don't experiment with our children! S.A. REMPEL, Langley Resource Program teacher at our school. This reduction of student services at a time of increased growth at our school not only in the general student population, but also in students with special needs, is an irresponsible act that displays all too well the Trustees' lack of concern with our children's education and their individual special needs. It is hypocritical of the Langley School Board to continue using their logo "Working Together for Student Success". It is obvious that the Board cares little for student success, but is desperate in their attempts to uphold "management rights" and to undermine the teachers' union at all costs. Unfortunately, it is the education of Langley students that is jeopardized in this struggle. However, it appears that this is of litde consequence to the Board. It is irresponsible for the Board to create chaos in every school in Langley based on the presumed outcome of a contract that has not even been finalized. Please realize that the more the Board insists on disrupting the educational process, the more the children of Langley will suffer. Where now are the promises to maintain staffing levels and services to students?

Certification of the workers came about a year ago at the 150-bed facility, but HEU acting president Fred Muzin said there have only been less than two days of bargaining talks. "Now the employer is trying to force a strike or lockout on the 60 HEU members working at the facility," said Muzin. "It's time for Redekop to quit stonewalling and threatening and start working to get a contract at Bevan Lodge," said HEU spokesperson Carmela Allevato.

JUNE 17. 1993 Campbell says youth are looking for a future By KURT LANGMANN As promised in last week's edition of The Star, here is the inter- view conducted with Liberal leadership candidate Gordon Campbell. MLAs Gary Farrell-Collins (Fort Langley-Aldergrove) and Lynn Stephens (Langley) have both endorsed the Vancouver mayor and GVRD chairman in his bid for the provincial leadership of the Liberal party. "He is the man," said Stephens, glowingly. "He is far more representative of all age groups and the aspirations of the people of B.C. Lots of policies he brought forward at city council are certainly progressive and not only on the economic side but also the social side. I think he's very well balanced in his views." When questioned on her opinion of another frontrunner, Stephens said she has talked to Gordon Gibson Jr., and "I like him very much personally; he's been a Liberal for many years and has done a lot, but a more forward looking person is needed. (Gibson) is seen much as a yesterday's man." Farrell-Collins was much more effusive: "Gordon Campbell has proven himself as one of the most effective, dynamic and forward thinking leaders this province has to offer. He's done an incredible job in Vancouver and has gotten nothing but high marks from people around the province. His name is known far and wide; we're very lucky to have him join us. Stephens also said that Gibson's arguments for a riding by riding count on the upcoming universal ballot would mean, "A half vote in the lower mainland and up north two votes each person. Some have suggested that the winner should win a majority of the one person-one vote and a majority of the 75 ridings. There's a couple resolutions to be voted on at the July convention." Gibson argues that Vancouver Liberals could swamp the rest of the province because the majority of the province lives in the lower mainland. CAMPBELL SAYS WE DECIDE For his part, Campbell said he doesn't think there are any certainties in the race, although he said he was flattered that this writer considers him and Gibson the two frontrunners. "I think everybody will be surprised how the vote goes; we can't tell yet and have to wait and see how the members feel," said Campbell. On the universal ballot issue, he is firm: "Each party member should be considered equal, not some more equal than others. We have the opportunity to get back to the fundamentals of democracy, which is a direct say in decisions affecting you. All over B.C. citizens respond to that, they want to get away from old-style manipulative politics.1 EXPERIENCE COUNTS Campbell has served six and a half years as mayor and two be- fore that as councilor in Vancouver. "Before that I had my own business, built a couple hotels. Prior to that I worked for Marathon Realty for five years, and before that as (former Vancouver mayor) Art Phillips' Gordon Campbell executive assistant for five years. Before that I was a teacher for two years and taught in Nigeria for two years with CUSO. I've seen lots, had great opportunities; that's the great thing about Canada." Campbell was headed for law school, but after working on Phillips' campaign and, "Part of what I saw was the redeveloping of the south shore of False Creek, so I thought that it would be fun to be involved (in redeveloping) with the north shore which was why I went to Marathon Realty. That never got to happen but that's why I got there. After five years of (Marathon) I thought it would be fun to do some developing of my own. I did that until 1984, and sold the company in 1986 when I became mayor." Campbell has been married to Nancy, a school teacher for 23 years and they have two teenage sons. THE TURNING POINT So, why does he seek leadership of a party that's had its share of troubles recendy? "A couple things. I've lived here all my life and had the great opportunity to spend the great majority of my life in public life. People said to me 'we've given you the opportunity to learn, apprentice for six and a half years, YOUR COMPLETE TECHNICAL STORE... a: • 2080 ZEROXING • BLUE PRINTING DRAFTING SERVICES ENGINEERING SUPPLIES FASTECH SERVICES LTD. 5718 GLOVER ROAD 533-5657 S.H.

However, "Most telling was my students' council in Vancouver (an advisory committee with, representatives from every high school)... One of the young women said to me, 'Your generation is never going to make the decisions they have to make to give our generation the choices and opportunities that your generation had. You're not going to face the tough decisions.' That had a major impact on me and in talking to my sons about it, I think we do have an obligation to try to give our young people the same sort of hopes and dreams we had. "I think when you look at the direction the government is taking where they believe you can tax your way to prosperity — and you can't — the fancy accounting games where Mr. (Finance Minister Glen) Clark says we've only run a $1.5-billion deficit, and you know it's really $2.3-bil- lion... that's debt we're loading onto our kids. I think we have to change that." FREEDOM A VIRTUE "I think the role of government in society is to be constructive, to be useful, and be positive, and should create the framework that allows individuals to make choices. People have to take re-. sponsibility for the things they want to do. We're not doing that right now. I have no illusions about how difficult the task is." Campbell is proud of his record as mayor. "Regularly we've laid out what we're going to do and we've completed over 80 percent of election promises. If we'd had the federal and provincial governments working with us we'd have over 90 percent done. That's number one. "Secondly, we've brought property taxes under control with no real increase in rates, always within the rate of inflation. "And things like the Fraser Lands, opened the Fraser River to the public, provided new neighborhoods with a mix of housing. BLC Properties accomplished something no one said was pos sible, we brought business and labor together, creating literally hundreds and hundreds of rental property units at no cost to the taxpayer. "We took the north shore of False Creek, Coal Harbor area, which was alienated from the public for the history of Vancouver, brought them back into the public realm all at no cost to the taxpayer. I think those things have been major achievements." He's also proud of the city's children's policy, and "giving neighbors back control of their neighborhoods; they're making decisions. I think it's been good, straightforward government. We've made difficult choices and they've been choices thsti^ worked." On the regional level, "We've worked with the region, opened up and understood that we're part of 18 communities and what we do has an impact on each other." WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT "I've gone around the province and I've worked with the mayors. In different parts of the province there are different ways, there's not one size fits all solutions that can be imposed by Victoria. I've had people from all round the province phoning me and encouraging me, had hundreds join the party, because they're excited about giving responsibilities and resources back to the communities. "A local government bill of rights would eliminate duplication of servicesj^There's triple checking, quadruple arguing at all levels. We have to accept the fact that some things we've done for a long time are not going to do any more, they're obsolete. I'm committed to doing that in one term. "There's no question about whether I can bring (the Liberal) caucus together, with a common agenda we can work on together. It's not a dictatorship, to lead is to bring people together.consult and be decisive. I'm the only one (of the leadership candidates) that has ever been in government. "We can restore the integrity of the public service, eliminate the plague of patronage, we just have to decide we're going to do it. We can control our debt, can balance our budget. We can give communities the responsibility and resources to make their own choices. We can shape our own future by participating, being actively involved. If we each do a little part we can accomplish an incredible amount."

He really has an impressive record and should go far." Business info center VICTORIA - A local link to a powerful network of business information and expertise will be maintained as the result of a partnership agreement announced between the Ministry of Economic Development, Small Business and Trade and the Fort Langley and District Chamber of Commerce. Economic Development Minister David Zirnhelt said the agreement provides up to $8,500 in support through the ministry's Business Info Centre program to ensure local access to information on starting a business and marketing goods and services. Information is also provided on government programs and regulations, and expansion strategies . for existing local businesses. "Our government, working in partnership with the Fort Langley and district chamber, provides access to vital business information services that will assist in the growth and diversification of our local economy," said Zirnhelt. "This program is part of our government's commitment to ensuring that growth and prosperity are shared by British Columbians helped by grant in every region of our province. The chamber and the ministry are working together to provide important business information services to the local community." The 85 BICs throughout British Columbia are electronically linked by a province-wide computerized communication system - Chamberlink. This system allows for the immediate sharing of the knowledge and expertise of all the province's chamber managers and provides on-line communication assistance and announcements of federal and provincial government tenders. In addition, publications are available at the local BIC on a wide variety of business topics. The ministry also provides training assistance for chamber staff as part of a strategy to position trained business information officers in most areas of the province. "The BIC program is one of the many ways our government is working in partnership with B.C. communities to strengthen local economies and diversify our traditional resource base," said Zirnhelt.

JUNE 17. 1993 Social services over-staffed VICTORIA - Socred social services critic Richard Neufeld slammed the Harcourt government for its plans to hire 211 more bureaucrats to administer welfare payments. "We estimate that it will cost taxpayers $15 million annually in salaries, benefits and operating costs to pay for 211 new bureaucrats in the Social Services Three members of a Vancouver chapter of "Kids for Saving Earth" demonstrate environmentally responsible behaviour by recycling Lower Mainland phone books. Pictured (left to right) are Kevin and Jennifer Anderson, and Shelby Moreau. For information about how and where to dispose of phone books in your area, call the Recycling Hotline at 732- 9253. , Phone books are fully recyclable BURNABY - Spring in Vancouver means the chirping of songbirds and the "thump" of new telephone books as they arrive on residents' doorsteps. This year all British Columbian households will be receiving phone books that are 100% recyclable due to the use of canola- based ink, water-soluable, now* plastic bindings and no varnishes. B.C. Tel also saved 400 tonnes of paper stock this year by printing its 1993 directories on lighter weight paper. While some collection programs were in place last year, the old telephone books were not a valuable commodity, as the necessity of removing the binding made them a nuisance to recycle. With the improvements made this year, however, B.C. Tel expects to easily top the 500 tonnes of directories that were recycled in 1992. Different municipalities throughout the Greater Vancouver Regional District are handling the drop off or collection of telephone books in different ways, depending upon their existing residential recycling program. For information on recycling telephone books in your community, call the B.C. Recycling Hodine at 732-9253, or, outside the Vancouver area, 1- 800-667-4321. In all, approximately 4.5 million telephone books are distributed throughout the province annually. Reducing the number of telephone books requiring disposal is' just one way that municipalities in the Greater Vancouver Regional District are aiming to reduce waste by 50% by the year 2000. Vacancies high in many centres OTTAWA - A growing number of metropolitan centres have high rental vacancy rates according to the results of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's April 1993 vacancy survey. In April, 16 markets had a vacancy rate of five per cent or more, up from 11 markets in October 1992. Overall, 21 of 26 rental markets surveyed in April had a vacancy rate of three per cent or higher. "As a general rule, a vacancy rate reaching three per cent provided renters with a reasonable choice. When rates exceed five per cent for a prolonged period, choice gets better, but new rental construction is discouraged," explained Greg Goy, manager of local market analysis for CMHC. Overall, more renters are moving out and buying homes, Mr. Goy said. "Low interest rates and two popular federal housing programs, the five per cent down- payment and RRSP withdrawal plans, have allowed many renters to become homeowners in the last six months, thereby freeing up rental units." In addition to these two national factors, regional and local market factors have also caused vacancy rates to change. In the Vancouver and Victoria markets, vacancy rates in April were 2.0 and 2.1 per cent respectively, up from 1.6 and 1.5 per cent in October. An increase in renter mobility that occurs each spring and first time buyer activity accounted for much of the in- crease in these centres. Continuing employment growth and high immigration kept vacancy rates well below those in other areas. Ministry," Neufeld said. "That's outrageous, especially since the ministry has already exceeded its authorized allocation for fulltime employees this year. "The ministry has advised us that there are currendy 4,789 full- time equivalent employees, working in the ministry - that's 24 more bureaucrats than are authorized in the estimates for 1993/94. Annual Father's Day concert features "Ancient Cultures" SURREY - "Ancient Cultures", a Latin American musical ensemble, will entertain families at a free Father's Day concert, Sunday, June 20, 2 p.m. at the Surrey Art Gallery. Through their music, "Ancient Cultures" share Latin America's traditions and cultural aspects with Canadian audiences of all ages. The music they play is strongly based on folkloric roots drawn from pre-Columbian cultures established in the Andean regions of South America, as well as influences taken from European and African music.

Remember it is prosperity that gives us friends, adversity that proves them. Volunteers have their say By MAUDIE MacPHERSON ALDERGROVE - The Thrift Shop workers held their monthly meeting on Monday in the OAP hall. It's good to voice our opinions and get ideas as to how to improve things around the stores. This month we decided on a half-price sale in the clothing stores. This sale does not include housewares. We appreciate good clothes that are clean being brought in, but people donating should take stock and decide what is saleable otherwise we are spending money taking them to the dump. On the whole most people are selective and send us good clean clothes but there are always exceptions. Our donations were large this month since our sales were good. The total donations for the month were $2,900, most local, some to societies such as Alzheimer and the Canuck Foundation. We feel we are doing a service in the community and we are certainly grateful for your support. Rags bring us a good part of our sales and our rag cutters are a busy lot. Anyone with extra time come on down to the housewares section, and even though you have only an hour or two to spare your help in cutting is appreciated. Rags sell for 10 lbs. of colored for $4. and white rags sell for $7. for 10 lbs. Thanks to all those who contribute either by working or donating.

Call Remy - 856-2711 (Answering service 530-6009) tj*&t VICTORIA - The Liberal critic for Women's Equality, Linda Reid is describing an interim Kelowna Court decision not to give child custody to MLA Judi Tyabji because of her commitments as an outrageous slap in the face towards all working women. "What the court has essentially said is that an MLA is not fit to be a mother, and this really concerns me," said Reid. "This decision is outright sexism and discrimination - a woman's ability to be a good mother has nothing to do with her career." "Working women have struggled to get where we are today, and it has only been in the last decade that women MLA's with children have been elected to the B.C. legislature. Now we are being told that if you have kids, don't bother running for office. This is a serious setback for women's equality." Reid also condemned Okanagan West MLA Cliff Serwa for meddling in the private affairs of another MLA. "This is clearly political opportunism of the worst kind: to try to score political points by playing games with someone else's children," she said in reference to a letter Serwa submitted to the family court in the case. "I thought all the dinosaurs were in the Drumheller museum, but clearly 1 was wrong," said Reid, "Social Credit ideology has yet again demonstrated how out of touch it is, and the Socred caucus is rapidly proving itself to be the Jurassic Park of British Columbia." Third quarter condemned by tax advocate VICTORIA - A spokesman for a taxpayers' lobby group says the provincial government's latest financial report shows spending on social services has gone "out of control" and increases in borrowing soon wilflput the province "into a financial strait- jacket." Robin Richardson, the research director for the Victoria-based Canadian Taxpayers' Federation, says the third quarter report shows spending on social services has climbed 21 percent, or $312-million over the first nine months of the previous fiscal year, even though unemployment during the same period had decreased.

JUNE 17. 1993 Ask Annabelle Dear Annabelle, Last week I got a letter from my widowed aunt in England thanking me for the bank draft I sent her at Eastertime. The trouble is I never sent her any money but I don't want to hurt her by telling her that she has made a mistake and sent her thanks to the wrong person. Should I just forget about it or tell her the truth so she can thank the right person? Signed: Jenny. Dear Jenny, By all means, write to your aunt and tell her about the mistake. It would not be fair to the person who sent the money in the first place if your aunt totally ignored their generosity and didn't have a chance to thank them. Don't delay. My dear Annabelle, I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear that a while ago I received a signal from my old chum, Brigadier Hugo (Huge) Wallop (Ret.) as a result of the letter you published in your column. Thanks awfully for your help in this matter. I shall be going on leave shortly and will be visiting my niece, Theodora, in your beautiful city of Aldergrove. However, I shall be staying with good old Hugo at his manor house in Lower Milner. Unfortunately, he has informed me he can't invite me to his local pub on account of some embarrassment over the misplacement of some dashed library books. Instead, he is threatening to take me fly fishing at Lady Chatterley Lakes or somewhere. When we get back we intend to pot a few balls in his billiard room and partake of some pink gins in the spirit of the old officers' mess in Bangladore. But the first thing I'm going to do - dash my buttons! - is ask the bally feller for the 50 quid he owes me! Yrs. fthfily, Admiral Sandy (you-can-call- me-Weedy) Seaweed (R.N.) Dear Weedy, My pleasure, believe me, but it will definitely be yours if you do get your 50 quid back. Readers, write me with your problems to Box 220, Aldergrove, VOX 1A0. The Super Valu team breaks away for a victory over the Navy team at Sunday's outhouse races. -Kurt Langmann photo NDP funds 'workers' art | First Heritage makes top ten VICTORIA - Liberal MLA Wilf Hurd is accusing the Harcourt government of introducing its gender and union biased ideology into funding for the arts in B.C. Hurd is citing the establishment of the New Artists and Working Life grant which specifically ties government funding to participation by a certified union. The grant is jointly funded by the taxpayers of the province and B.C. trade unions. Citing published reports of the program Hurd said: "The aim is for artists to work in residence with trade unions on projects which promote arts relative to working life, and to assist union members and their families in these activities. * Hurd says B.C.'s artistic community should be outraged that at a time when grants for culture and the arts are being slashed, preference is being given to works of art which promote the government's social and economic agenda. "When government starts deciding to fund 'politically-correct' forms of artistic expression, we're headed down the path of thought control," Hurd charged. The Ministry of Tourism and Culture will provide up to 75% of the funding for these projects which meet the "working man theme". The first deadline is July 15, with a second deadline in January 1994. A selection jury will be comprised of professional artists and union representatives. They will decide on a project's assessed quality as it pertains to any lasting benefits to union membership. Grant decisions will be made by a committee of two rep- resentatives from the B.C. Federation of Labour and one from the ministry. Hurd is urging minister Darlene Marzari to open the Artists and Working Life program to all B.C. artists and scrap the union and gender bias inherent in the selection process. Oldtime policing remembered MURRAYVILLE - A plaque honoring the service of the old BC Provincial Police was presented this week to township mayor John Beales. A representative of the BC Provincial Police Veterans Association made the presentation. He pointed out that the force was established in this province in 1858, fifteen years before the formation of the North West Mounted Police (forerunner of the RCMP), and that they were responsible for keeping law and order in British Columbia when this province entered Canadian confederation in 1871 with a total population of only some 20,000 people. The provincial force kept up policing British Columbia until 1950 when the duties were taken over by the federal force of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. MATSQUI - First Heritage Savings, with its $633,500,000 in assets, now holds the number nine position in Canada.

Contrary to popular belief, the World Transplant Games do not involve surgeons racing against the clock to remove organs from their patients. Nor will you witness an event called the "liver toss". Instead, the games represent a unique and very hopeful part of human nature - the will to survive and a celebration of a new lease on life that comes with replacing a damaged kidney or diseased organ with a healthy one. Patients awaiting a kidney or lung transplant are restricted to life with dialysis or oxygen until a suitable organ is donated. Once transplanted and accepted, the sense of invigoration and renewed energy is uncontainable. Recipients often ask if they can run, cycle or swim again. The IX World Transplant Games is living proof that organ transplants not only save lives...they return a life of sports, career and whatever other challenges the recipient cares to take head on. Swimming, cycling, track and field, golf, badminton and tennis number among the Olympic-style events to be tackled by athletes from Canada, the U.S., Central and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, South Africa and New Zealand.

JUNE 17. 1993 Ishtar home protects the abused children each year, Hulbert said, MURRAYVILLE - For the reasons of safety, operators of the new Ishtar transition home in Langley don't want its exact location to become known to the general public. Home looks-after women and children who have fled abusive family environments. The Ishtar society has been operating in Aldergrove and Langley for the past 20 years. It was one of the first of its kind in the country, and society president Sandra Hulbert told township councilors here Monday night that she was "very proud" of its accomplishments. Ishtar is a temporary home to more than 1,000 mothers and although never more than 10 people stay at the place at any given time. Ishtar society employs 25 people to assist the 'refugees', and it is funded by government grants. "I hope that at some future time society (at large) will evolve to the point where Ishtar is no longer needed," Coun. Aubrey Searle commented. Hulbert and her staff are hoping to keep the location secret because they know that sometimes the husbands and fathers come chasing after the women who have walked out of their lives. Neighbor wants old ferry removed FORT LANGLEY - Urged on by an irate neighbor, township officials in Murrayville last week posted a 'stop work' order at the moorage site of the San Mateo on the Fraser River. Neighbor Paul Claus is upset because the old ferry is obstructing the scenic view from his liv- ingroom window. The old vessel is presently under restoration at dockside, and according to the owners she will be there for the next five years. Captain George Bereska, however, says the exterior of the ship will be restored to "pristine" condition within a few short months only. Claus has petitioned council to get rid of the San Mateo, or at least to have her moved "further down river, towards Fort Langley." The present site, below the bluff entrance to Glen Valley, is "in violation of (the township's) zoning bylaws," he says. Bereska has applied for a hydro connection on shore, but this should never be granted says Claus. So far, the stop work order has been ignored, he claims. Township officials, however, say they have no jurisdiction over what happens on the river. Public to receive advance warning of poor air quality BURNABY - Three levels of government are teaming up to provide Lower Mainland residents'/with advance warning when air quality is expected to decline due to excessive ground- level ozone concentration. The Greater Vancouver Regional District, BC Environment and Environment Canada will be informing the public in advance when ground- level ozone levels are forecast to be higher than acceptable standards. This usually only happens on a few days each year. A look inside Kwantlen if LANGLEY - Today, numerous changes are taking place in the "typical" life-styles of people with disabilities. Down-sizing of institutions and the movement to integrate people into communities and classrooms has created a need for support workers with the necessary skills and attitudes. People interested in entering this growing field can attend an introduction to the community support worker program offered at the new Kwantlen College Langley campus. The free session is a prerequisite to the program. It takes place in Building D, Room 126 at the Surrey Campus, 12666 - 72nd Avenue, Surrey, on Saturday, June 19, 10 a.m. to noon. To confirm attendance, call program coordinator Susan Powell at 599-2647. Powell works closely with Bev Miller, a community support advisory board member at Douglas College. "This new 10- month certificate program at Kwantlen gives people the option, after graduation, of working in the social service field while still having future access to the two-year diploma program in human services at Douglas," says Miller. "What we're trying to achieve is a career path for people who want to add tcTtheir learning in this field at some point in their careers." Ground-level ozone episodes occur in the Lower Mainland when a high-pressure system builds up with hot, sunny weather and little or no wind for a few days. This allows pollutants from vehicles, industry and residential sources to build up and hang over the Lower Mainland in a brown haze. The air quality advisories will be sent out to major media oudets and Environment Canada weather offices the night before a ground-level ozone episode is expected. The public will be asked to help in reducing the problem by using an alternative form of transportation to get to work that day, such as transit, carpooling, cycling or walking. Industries already have clauses within their permits that enable the GVRD to require reduction of emissions during ground-level ozone episodes. The advisories will be updated every 12 hours until the air quality improves due to changing weather patterns. No to radar VANCOUVER - The B.C. Automobile Association says the possibility of a provincial ban on radar detectors and a new graduated driving license system is good news. "The sale and use of radar detectors should be illegal," said BCAA director Leigh Carter. "Radar detectors don't promote the right kind of changes in driver behavior. "As well, we have called on the provincial government to implement graduated licenses for all newly-licensed drivers. New drivers are seriously over-represented in accident statistics, and a properly instituted graduated system would see new drivers gain experience on the road under certain conditions to better prepare them for fulltime driving." Proposed legislation for mandatory bicycle helmets and the impounding of vehicles being driven by those with suspended licenses are also being lauded by the BCAA. Fraser Valley science students will have a close- to-home, affordable option available when UCFV launches its Bachelor of Science degree, offered in partnership with SFU, this fall. Students will no Golf course still a hot topic FORT LANGLEY - Owners of the new Belmont golf course here have been delinquent in that they have ignored Langley township's demands for compensation in the form of cash and a let- ter-of-credit totalling more than $200,000, Coun. Aubrey Searle claimed Monday night. Assessments against Belmont were imposed by local government after officials concluded that the developers had acted contrary to an agreement signed by the two parties. Fifty thousand dollars Was to be in cash, the rest in the form of a bank guarantee. Searle this week gave notice of motion that he intends to pursue the matter. A move for "equal rights" by Coun. Muriel Arnason* failed to win council approval. "I hope it doesn't get a seconder," said Mayor John Beales. It did, but no final support. Arnason had argued that since the Belmont developers had been allowed to install holding tanks for sewage on the property, similar rights should be extended to all property owners in the municipality. Other council members did not like that idea. longer have to transfer to a university to pursue third- and fourth-year studies. Applications are being accepted now.

New to UCFV board ABBOTSFORD - Advanced education minister Tom Perry has appointed two new members to the board of the University College of the Fraser Valley.They are Darshen Bains and Derrill Thompson. Rescue vehicle bought MURRAYVILLE - Township council has approved the purchase of a rescue support vehicle for the local fire department costing nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The only tender was received from Anderson Engineering of Langley. It was accepted this week by councilors and the price tag was $233,698.00.

Human rights VICTORIA - The Harcourt government may be trying to protect its beleaguered image by hiding behind new legislation that has the potential to suppress the freedom of expression, Liberal human rights critic Val Anderson charged. In amendments to the Human Rights Act, the NDP has eliminated the section allowing people to freely express their opinions of a subject by speech or in writing, as long as they are not false statements. "This legislation goes too far by denying the right to freedom of expression which is the cornerstone of our democratic process. It is essential that society bring in stricter regulations to f>rotect individuals and groups rom hate mongers, but what the Harcourt government has done goes beyond this necessity," said Anderson.
