SCAM NETS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS '& Local man rips off tax department ALDERGROVE - A local man has been charged in connection with an income tax refund fraud uncovered by Revenue Canada in the Fraser \aliey. James Willar, 22, will appear in court, August 25, on one count of fraud over $1,000. Revenue Canada spokesperson Rod Jamie son said officials became suspicious over a number of income tax returns, which turned out to be fraudulent, and set up a sting. They nabbed a suspect at a New ^Xfestminster discount income tax company when he showed up to claim a refund cheque. Jamieson said more persons are believed to be involved in the fraud ring that had filed for about $75,000 in refunds. Stolen social insurance numbers and T-4 slips with phoney information were used in the scam. Two candidates enter federal election race See pages 2 aad 27 Pension trough three-quarters full TORONTO - Reforms to the MP pension plan as announced recently by Prime Minister Kim Campbell represent only a modest, tentative step in the right direction, says the National Citizens' Coalition. The MP pension trough is still three-quarters filled," says NCC communications director Gerry Nicholls. "While Campbell did reform some of the plan's more blatant problems such as the 'double-dipping' feature and the lack of an age requirement, she still left intact the lavish inflation protection provisions which are really what make the plan so unfair." However, Nicholls is stjll grateful for Campbell's initiative. "She only took a small step," he says, " out it was still more of an effort to change the plan than any other prime minister has made." Nicholls calls the move a partial victory for the NCC which has been fighting for more than 15 years to get the plan reformed. Reformers scoff at CALGARY - Prime Minister Kim Campbell's plans to cut politicians' pensions, lobbying and patronage appointments have been dismissed by the Reform Party of Canada as being "nothing more than an attempt to appeal to voters." "The conservatives have wallowed in pensions and patronage for nine years, so this sudden change of tune is hard to take seriously," says Steven Harper, Reform candidate for Calgary West. Harper points out that former prime minister Brian Mulroney filled every available patronage post in the government besides creating some new ones right before he left office, discrediting the party. plans Politicians fear country's going bust MURRAYVILLE • Politicians are starting to fear that what happened in New Zealand could be repeated in this country. The land 'down under' went bust after years of free-spending on social programs. British Columbia's Municipal Finance Authority will present a forum for municipal and regional politicians at the annual UBCM convention. Forum will deal .with the dreaded D-word. Municipal politicians will be viewing a video of the New Zealand experience and listen to comments from economists and a moderated panel of responses from the four major political parties. "We think the (debt and) deficit problem will be a major issue at the next federal election, and it has large ramifications for local government considering our position at the lower end of the funding spectrum," MFA executive director James Craven has told the local politicians. Forum will be open to both elected and appointed officials. VOL.35 N0.34 THURSDAY.

Boring operation not so boring to 'wildcatters3 By RUDY LANGMANN ALDERGROVE - It's a big operation as drilling rigs go. When it was brought to Langley from an oil field in Alberta, the rig had to be disassembled into small pieces because of load restrictions on some local roads such as Langley's Zero Avenue. But it has now for a couple of weeks been chewing its way through the alluvial soil and rock formations under the Fraser Valley. A hole reaching straight down more than one kilometer had been drilled when this reporter visited the gas drilling site off Zero Avenue last Saturday,. but the drill will not be turned off until about one week into September when a depth of more than three kilometres will have been reached. Conoco Canada Ltd. and its two drilling partners are looking ALDERGROVE SUBSCRIBERS WONT BE VOTING 'Free' calling to WestVan in the cards MURRAYVILLE - Telephone subscribers in Langley and other lower mainland communities will be voting this fall on whether or not they want unrestricted toll-free long distance calling between Aldergrove and Whonnock in the east and West Vancouver - Bowen Island to the west. People in Aldergrove who recendy were granted-limited toll- free calling to some Vancouver metropolitan exchanges will not have a say in the outcome of the November referendum. Aldergrove subscribers will see. an additional charge of 50 cents on their monthly telephone bills for continued toll-free calling to Abbotsford. For a business telephone the increase will be $1.75 a month on top of thee current rate of $70.25 per line. for gas. Will they find it? Perhaps, and perhaps, not As one company spokesman explained, the rate of success is about one strike in 20. This is the second well the consortium, much to the aggravation of protest groups such as the 'Friends of the Fraser Valley, has been boring in the Fraser Valley. The first well, completed last year in Delta, was dry and abandoned. On about September 8, the drillers will know whether or not they have been successful this time. But luck or no luck, the rig will be packed up, the site restored to its former bucolic beauty, and the equipment moved on and set up at a new site, near the Old Yale Road and 232 Street in the Murrayville area. There haven't been many complaints from the public since the drilling actually began One resident, living about three-quarters of a mile from the rig, complained last week of the noise from the site. John Lawrence might have to live with the annoyance for another cou- . pie of weeks, and then it will be someone else's problem. Another month or so and it'll be all over. To be fair, though, the noise from the drilling platform itself can hardly be heard when you stand outside the company trailer at Zero Avenue. The site itself, some 300 feet at the back of the property, is a different story. And geographical as well as climatic conditions will cause the sound of the huge dlesel engines and the diamond drill to travel in dif- ferent directions at different speeds and-loudness. It's a gamble, a multi-million dollar attempt at finding natural gas under the Fraser Valley. Geologists say it's there, somewhere, and it's just a matter of hitting the right spot. A few million years ago there was a 'Jurassic Park' somewhere below our feet and the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic era left their legacy. dark when it comes to her government's social reforms. The groups have formed a coalition demanding that Campbell announce what those social reforms will be before a federal election is called. "We call upon the prime minister to come clean with this white paper," says Bob Evans, president of the anti-poverty organization. "To bring it out and share it with us now. Not give us bits and pieces throughout the election (campaign), and the drop it on us." The white paper, under ' construction for almost a year, is expected to make some major turnarounds in the areas of unemployment insurance, social assistance and health care. The national groups are angry that Campbell said only parts of the white paper will be made public before the election, on the grounds that the government must have time to discuss the policies with the provinces. "We're at the eve of an election," says Sunera Thobani, president of the Status of Women committee. "Is this what the prime minister means by the politics of inclusion? "While they're very busy restructuring Kim Campbell's image, what Canadians are being kept in the dark about is the restructuring of the economy and the social programs that are taking place. What is the government trying to hide?* Provincial law baffles experts LANGLEY - A Vancouver law firm has advised Langley township that the recent changes to the provincial Employment Standards Act are "difficult to interpret, complex, and (will) impact different employers in different ways." Asked for their legal opinion on Bill 65, Henri Alvarez of Russell.& Dumoulin has referred the township as employer "not to hesitate to contact any member of the (provincial) labor department." Councilors in Murrayville marvel at the fact that not even highly respected lawyers are able to interpret the government's handiwork. Amendments to the act deals with contracting out, work scheduling, overtime work, and layoffs. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove. B.C. V4W3R9 NEWS? CLASSIFIED?

Credits are transferable to degree programs at either Trinity or other universities such as Simon Fraser and UBC. For the 1993 fall semester, courses In business, economics, English and psychology will be offered. The new undergraduate arrangement is expected to provide "a successful transition to university level studies" for recent graduates and for Students still in highschool, according to university leaders. Besides, it will make life a lot easier for many Fraser Valley students in that it will provide another local, albeit limited campus away from the city. Program Is "quite revolutionary," according to local school trustee Rod Ross. Trinity is a full member of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Last year, 1,558 Canadian, American and international students were enrolled at TWU. Students should apply for admission at Trinity Western, 7600 Glover Road. Space is still available on some of the courses. Enquiries can also be made at the Langley school board offices in Murrayville.

Tim Attwood photo NUNDAL NOT INTERESTED IN 'INTERNATIONAL SCENE' Third man enters race for Tory nomination ALDERGROVE • Another man has tossed his hat into the ring for the Progressive Conservative nomination in Fraser Valley West. Joining in the race against Bruce Barnes and Gregory Thomas is Don Nundal. The party's constituency association decides the candidate on Tuesday, August 31 at Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre. Stan Graham, the iconoclastic backbench Conservative M.P. for Kootenay East for two terms, 1979-'80 and 1984-'88, had considered entry into the race, but told The Star, Tuesday that he had decided against it because there "wasn't enough time left." Don Nundal is the son of late Langley mayor, "Doc" Elford Nundal and has lived all his 52 years in Langley, with his Wife, Ellie. He recently retired from the law practice he established here 22 years ago. Stan Graham didn't let his tenure as a backbencher in the 1984-'88 Tory government keep him from making some waves of his own. In 19867 he was inspired by a visit to England, where he discovered that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was less inclined to ignore her backbenchers because of the party's so-called 1922 Committee. This group of backbenchers was named for the year that disenchanted British Tory backbenchers formed a lobby group within the party that fought to shift policy back to the right end of the political spectrum. Before 1922 there was no caucus system whatsoever and backbenchers had virtually no influence on policy, but the committee grew in size and strength to where it today has considerably more influence on the British Tory party. So Graham formed the Canadian version of the committee, called the Back Bench Committee. When the government brought in the controversial Official Languages Act, Bill C-72, it gave the BBC the momentum and interest to form heavy Tory opposition to the bill. Don Nundal told The Star that he was holidaying in B.C.'s far north when current Tory MP Bob Wfenman surprised many by announcing his retirement from politics. Nundal said he came back home in time to file his nomination papers in the riding which he believes "has excellent chances" of voting Conservative again. Nundal acknowledges that he's, "not been publicly active" in the past but he's long been involved in local campaigning for the party and has many supporters who know him well. He was also on the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation board for seven years, helping negotiate recent expansion and land acquisition, and with Langley Lions Club housing projects for seniors and special care persons. A former RCMP constable stationed on the Saskatchewan highway patrol (1959-'65), Nundal said wife, Ellie, a computer programmer, helped him earn his law degree so that the couple wouldn't have to live through the hardships and remote postings that police officers have to endure in their careers. He articled in Langley in 1972, and went on to establish a nine- person practice here, Nundal, Cherrington, Easingwood and Kearl. For the past-four years he was an associate with:the firm, before taking a position as counsel with ICBC seven months ago. Having seen the justice system from both these points of view, Nundal said the controversial Young Offenders Act, "is unfortunately, in some ways, prejudicial to youth, in that they can be prevailed upon by thek elders! to commit crimes for which the penalties are not so serious for young offenders. He suggests some of this protection should be removed, along with more effort to create alternatives for youths. "Kids want opportunities to open up... opportunities for youth have to be developed, and economic expansion is the key. "Free trade is inevitable, and it is the future, but we have to also provide support for those who are left behind. We need political stablity to look after the needs of the population. "People are just about taxed to the limit. We need to develop a mechanism to ensure there are no more tax increases, and 1 believe there is plenty of room iof cost-saving measures." Nundal also said he's "a team player... Kim Campbell has a lot to offer, and this is a growing constituency that Ottawa can't overlook. Our economy is certainly significant, and B.C. is in line for cabinet representation. "I will hone in on the needs of the constituency. Unlike Bob (Wenman) I'm not interested in the international scene." Native leader takes shot at Campbell CALGARY - Assembly of First Nations Chief O vide Mercredi has taken a shot at Prime Minister Kim Campbell accusing her government of adhering to anti-native sentiments. The criticism came after Tory MP Don Blenkhorne (Mlssis- sauga South) made a joke at a rally, wishing the riding was on a reserve so no one would have to pay taxes. .That comment raised the ire of native leaders from across the country, and although the PM tried to distance herself from Blenkhome'scomments-by referring to them as a "bad attempt at humor", she nevertheless was targeted by Mercredi. He also criticized the new •Indian Affairs minister who had stated upon taking office that the government did not recognize the inherent right of aboriginals to self-government. Mercredi claimed Campbell is no different than her predecessor, Brian Mulroney. Le Devoir in trouble MONTREAL - Debts and the lack of agreement by unions to adhere to an austerity program has forced Montreal's Le Devoir newspaper to temporarily halt publication. Although the daily paper shut down, talks continued between management and union representatives. Shaky finances are what's plaguing the paper. It is $2- million in debt to its printer, Quebecor Inc., and the 30,000 circulation is not big enough to compete with three of. the other Montreal dailies. The austerity program includes a cost trimming of $800,000 annually, and a mass salary freeze for the 100 employees until 1996. The paper is recognized for its social and cultural influences in Quebec. 'Buying orSeflingF CALL-VIC PETERS Aldercenter Realty 27015 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, B.C.

A new Gallup poll suggests that after only two months in office, Campbell has already won the highest approval rating any Canadian prime minister has seen in the last 30 years. However, an unflattering Ontario newspaper picture of Campbell pitching a softball game show she has gained weight. Marlie Oden, a member of Campbell's campaign staff, says the picture was probably the work of opposition parties beginning to play a little low ball. 4 DRAWER CHEST sTSSSs-- 3 PCE.

"Hiring a company to study MP pensions is both an election ploy and a stalling tactic. You don't need a company to tell you that the MP pension plan is outrageous and in need of reform, just ask anyone on the street," says Valerie Meredith, Reform candidate for Surrey- White Rock-South Langley. Reformers want to see a pension which is properly funded and in line with private sector pensions, says Meredith. These (Campbell) proposals are just window dressing." Retiring Conservative MPs will collect $1,844,605 in pensions in 1994 alone. Campbell's proposals "are either serious and specific," says Reform candidate for Calgary West, Stephen Harper, "in which case they should be passed now (before the federal election), or they're hot air." MOVING TOWARD TOTALITARIANISM Government won't justify new law VICTORIA - "We'll tell you when we tell", seemed to be the NDP government's attitude to requests for an explanation for the new law banning the reselling of lottery tickets outside the country- Three hundred employees of resellers based in the \ancouyer area demonstrated outside Premier Mike Harcourt's constituency office protesting the loss of the jobs. Ernie Quantz, the acting deputy attorney general, said to reveal the reason for the law, passed late in the evening of July 28 with no opposition from the other parties and no explanation from the government, would "jeopardize an ongoing initiative. Meanwhile Attorney General Colin Gabelmann said the government would explain the new law "in the fullness of time." At «THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 26. 1993 £ Money... where'll it all come from? MURRAYVILLE - Councilors^ here are worried where the money is going to come from. A preliminary report from the' Greater Vancouver regional district dealing with an 'improvement plan' for drinking water quality indicates that implementation will cost in the neighborhood of $l/2-billion, according to Coun. Aubrey Searle. Add that to the $1-billion it is going to Two politicians canceljaunt VICTORIA - A pair of New Democratic MLAs pulled out of a 10-day, all-expenses paid trip to Cyprus to attend a conference of Commonwealth parliamentarians. After revelations that British Columbia was sending three MLAs as 'observers' and their spouses along with deputy speaker Emery Barnes, two clerks of the legislative assembly, Harry Lali of Yale-Lillooet and Paul Ramsey of Prince George North decided to cancel. Barnes and one clerk along with their spouses will be going. It'll cost the taxpayers of the province about $50,000. cost' to build new sewage disposal facilities in the region, he Says, and you are talking a lot of tax dollars. Where is all that'money going to come from? he asks. "My mind boggles." Mayor John Beales says that the quality of the water has been good enough for decades, and that nothing has changed. Drinking water in Langley has not deteriorated and its quality, still meets the same old standards that have been adequate for years. One thing has changed, however, he adds, and that is the standards set by government. Planning studies are still being carried out by the regional government and no final report as to action and cost is yet available. Beales says the local government just will have to wait for that. that point, he predicted, "people will say, 'Oh well, you were right, we understand'." But Stephen Rapp, president of Express Marketing, one of B.c.'s 16 lottery resellers, said, "It's pretty strange to be making laws without an explanation." Like others in the industry which has been pulling in $120-million a year by selling B.C. lottery tickets to Americans over the telephone, Rapp said the attorney general's department was doing the bidding of American state governments. University of Victoria political scientist Norman Ruff said the government was "on very dangerous grounds," when it began to cite "reasons of state or reasons of state security" as the sole justification for laws or policy. When asked if such explanations moved the government in a totalitarian direction, Ruff said "yes".

TORYSTYLE This is where your tax dollars go The total federal government expenditures for 1993-94 will be $159.5-billion ... and that ain't hay. Of that total, $39.5-billion will be spent just to service the national debt The cost of paying this interest has increased steadily over the last two decades, peaking at about 28 percent as a share of total expenditures in 1990-91. ft now stands at 25 percent, simply because other expenditures have gone up disproportionately. Anyhow, it means that for every $1 our federal government spends in running the country, 25 cents goes to just paying the loans interest. Our federal government will provide transfer payments in 1993-94 to the tune of $83-billion, but let us look at where the money goes. Firstly, $41 -billion will be spent for old age security and guaranteed income supplements, and unemployment insurance. Secondly, $27-bil - lion goes to health care, post secondary education, Canada Assistance Plan. Thirdly, and here comes the crunch, $15-billion in subsidies and other transfer payments. Fifteen billion dollars, and the government skiffs it off as 'subsidies and other transfer payments'. Let's analyze Don Mazankowski's April budget: Aboriginal Canadians will get $3.6-billion the rest of this year and part of next.,But get a load of the next item and see if this explains why big business supported the government in the October referendum. Business will receive a whopping $3.3-billion of your tax dollars. In our state of deficit and escalating debt, we give away $2.7-billion in foreign aid. We have people starving in this country, thousands of homeless people and a gargantuan national debt and yet we give away that kind of money. We will be giving our farmers a mere $2.4-bil- lion. That means the people who provide our food get less-money than we give away to other countries. The remaining $2.7-billion goes to 'others'. You know how the government likes to end most lists with a category of 'others'. Crown corporations will receive $5-billion. And who was telling me that the government doesn't have control of crown corporations? Our national defence program that operates with outdated and obsolete equipment still gets $11-billion, and finally, to operate the government bureaucracy the price tag is a meagre $20-billion. Cheap at double the price. Now we get into the small stuff. A total of $3.8-billion allocated to the health and safety of our workers. That, incidentally, includes food and drug inspection systems that look after the welfare of the people, and moreover, aboriginal and northern health services. You thought the $3.6-billion mentioned earlier for aboriginal Canadians was all. Not so. But we'll continue. $3.7-billion to operate a national police system to protect us.in our daily lives, for a national penitentiary system to house those who have broken the law, and of course to pay for the court system. We will spend $3.4-billion to protect Canadian borders and collect taxes. $5.1-billion will be spent on federal scientific research and support of industrial and regional development Another $4-billion will come out of the public purse to protect Canada's interests abroad, whatever that means, to deliver social and aboriginal programs (there we go again) and to enhance our national heritage. The Tories are spending us into oblivion. There is stall time left to tell all prospective political candidates of whatever stripe, that we want government to cut spending ... now. Historians have task cut out for them ALL IT TOOK WAS & BIT OF ^CONSTRUCTION UEP£... Editor, The Star, Sir, . When it comes time for histories to record this era in Canadian history one of their first tasks will, be to sort out the myths, hoaxes, and misnomers surrounding free trade. It has come to have too many shades of meaning and our federal government has been deliberate in its efforts to mystify the issue. The word "free" obviously has appeal. It suggests something for nothing. On the other hand it might suggest the liberation of trade. Neither is the case. "Free trade in the true sense of the work is when two sovereign nations lower trade barriers and allow the free flow of goods. This was very much the case before the FTA as 80% of our trade with the U.S. was already free and duties on the balance were mini- - mat Given that the U.S. is our chief trading partner and most of our trade was already free, why then these agreements? There had to be a rationale and proponents showed expedient creativity. First they claimed that American protectionism had to be overcome, and we in turn were to collapse what little was left of our own. Protectionism was the designated bogey man. We were propagandized to believe that it was the ' villain. In fact protectionism is an instrument of government which properly used develops and stabilizes economics. Every modern industrial economy has been built behind a wall of protectionism. With the FTA we did not overcome U.S. protectionism, nor will we with NAFTA. The second rationale was that we had to obtain secure access. This we already had as much as one can. Nor did we obtain this. U.S. trade law still prevails and there are still ongoing trade disputes. The only "secure access" has been for an alarming number of Canadian industries to move south to get behind U.S. protectionist walls. The trade agreements have nothing to do with free trade. They are blueprints for economic integration. They guarantee access to our resources at fixed prices, allow unlimited foreign investment, and give foreign corporations "national treatment", to- name only a few areas covered. The hidden agenda of these trade agreements is to eliminate the state as an economic regulator, which in turn narrow's our economic options, and intrudes on both our economic and political sovereignty. The NAFTA is a further development of the FTA and creates another quasi governing body that transfers the levers of economic control outside the coun- 'Abound', page 5 M<E IN A, \ \ Words, words, words ... and more words By CARL G. STEWART By the sounds of it, Kim Campbell is taking her summer job quite seriously and it could very well cost her any chance she might have had to become Canada's first elected female prime minister. In her latest guts and glory declaration she has vowed to take away the cream from Ottawa's Fat Cats. She says that she will overhaul MP's pensions, and double dipping for retired MPs and require government lobbyists to be registered and declare who they are lobbying for. Kim Campbell should know better than that. She should know that all cats, whether they are Ottawa fat cats or the alley variety, come equipped with sharp claws. She is wading in hip deep to thee MP pension plan and I suspect she is doing it more for votes than for the welfare of Canadian taxpayers. Not only do these MPs have these Club singing its swan song Editor, The Star, Sir, As of September 1, 1993, the Aldergrove Boys' and Girls' Club will no longer be in existence. The City and Township of Langley, who fund the club, have recently decided to discontinue funding and as a result of the decision, the club has been forced to close its doors. As an agency we are very disappointed with the decision; however, this does not affect our primary concern: that the youth of Aldergrove receive a creative range of safe, low-cost, enjoyable leisure services regardless of who provides the activities. In this respect we have been assured by the Parks and Recreation Services division of both the township and city that, hopefully, beginning in September of 1993, they will be in a position to enlarge on the process of youth involvement in leisure activities started by our agency in Aldergrove. Our agency will be downsizing from four full time staff and one part-time to just one full-time person who will operate the Langley club. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, I have been forced to move on with my IssiE.. 'Club', page 5. . ,«^p huge pensions coming to them, they also have powerful friends in lofty places within, the party. As for double dipping for retired MPs, she is also treading on thin ice when she puts the kibosh to the finances of these same powerful people. At the risk of dragging up the past, I think it was in Salmon Arm after the egg throwing fiasco, that Pierre Elliot Trudeau promised to do the same thing. He was also involved in a federal election. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This is definitely not justice Editor,The Star, Sir, There is something fundamentally wrong with the treatment John Demjanjuk has received for the past number of years. There doesn't seem to be a media discussion of this aspect of his case. A person may be extradited (from Canada, the U.S. or Britain, at least) for a specific crime. A person may not be extradited to another country so the authorities can hold him in investigative custody indefinitely until they can find a case against him. But that is precisely what is being done now to this man in Israel. He was extradited because a prima facie case against him was presented that he was "Ivan the Terrible". Subsequent investigations have established that was not true. A person being acquitted of a charge must be released, not held to see if the authorities can come up with another one. The prosecution of John Demjanjuk has raised legitimate questions about all prosecutions of "war crimes'* in Israel or where Zionist interests are the motivating factor. There appears to be less concern with justice than with politics in such cases. The Imre Finta case in Canada cost the taxpayers millions but after the jury acquittal the Crown simply appealed all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada where it now sits. It is more politics than justice which prevents the Israelis from letting Demjanjuk ?;o and keeps the money flowing or such prosecutions in Canada. In John Demjanjuk's case, he has been and is being held with any just cause. He is innocent until proven guilty and he has never- been proven guilty of anything so far. Why then have 14 years of. his life been spent behind bars? Maybe it is too embarrassing both to the Americans and the Israelis to let him go. Those who withheld evidence from his defence counsel in the U.S. and those who pursued this case' like the late Armand Hammer have a lot to answer for. The U.S. should maintain a simple principle: if the crime for which a person is extradited from the United States is not proven, then the person should be returned immediately to the country from which they were extradited. Only if a country seeking extradition presents a specific case for which evidence is proven in court, only then should a person be taken against their will from their home, family and country. The same rules of fundamental justice should apply to all people impartially. Polyhukovich in Australia (recently acquitted by a jury of war crimes), Finta in Canada and Demjanjuk in Israel have proved that war crimes trials are an expensive farce. Some judges and all jurors have rejected these charges as unjust. Sir Hartly Shawcross, one of the original Nuremberg prosecutors, spoke against this process in the House of Lords when it was proposed in Britain DOUGLAS CHRISTIE victoria Letters invited The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community.

Editor, The Star, Sir, The time has come for our politicians outside of Quebec to get off their well-paid butts and Stop spending tax dollars on bilingualism and Bill Eight, the French Languages Services Act here in Ontario. These politicians are either asleep at the switch or they are just plain blind to what is happening. Not only are English Canadians being forced to speak French and build French schools, the government is closing our English schools. We want and deserve a good standard of living in Canada but if expensive and -nonessential things like enforced bilingualism is allowed to continue the life style of Canadians will diminish I as a Canadian demand a referendum on bilingualism and let the people of Canada decide if Casualties abound From page 4 try. If we are frustrated with the pervasiveness of government now, here's more that will be wholly unaccountable to us. The casualty list from the FTA is already impressive/What is termed, "economic restructuring", is too often a euphemism for the ravages of free trade. We are told we can no longer afford our social spending. In fact it is among the lowest of the industrial nations. What we cannot afford is the shrinking economy brought about by what is not free trade but really highly restrictive captive trade. At the very time we should be diversifying our trading base, we are narrowing it. Just over a hundred years ago Prime Minister, Sir John jfc-.: Macdonald called unrestricted reciprocity (free trade) "veiled treason". He was stating one of the absolutes of history-economic union becomes political union. One of the primary reasons the National party'came into being is that the other parties refuse to squarely address the free trade issue and the profound implications it has for our sovereignty. For four centuries we have resisted American expansionism. Sovereignty lost is rarely regained, and its loss will exact an undefined and insidious toll. When Tom Hockin and Kim Campbell claim they won for Canada in the NAFTA negotiations it is smoke and mirrors. For all that was accomplished is that Canadian courts will be agents of the NAFTA tribunal. %$& ROBERT BILLYARD, Aldergrove Club closing From page 4 career and seek opportunity else- .where.

AUGUSTUS/ 199fr RESOLUTION STATES Tax changes unbearable burden Editor, The Star, Sir, The Canadian federal debt is now over $464-billion and growing. This means a $17,000 debt added on the back of every Canadian man, woman and child. The interest taxpayers must pay on this debt means less money in the hands of the public to purchase goods and services. When factories can't sell their' products they cut production, lay off employees and our economy . slumps into depression. Plans must be made to overcome the chaotic conditions likely to occur when we must default on the debt and money becomes useless. We must install an entirely new economic system which is designed to operate without either money or debt. Technocracy has the design, all we need is the intelligence to use it.

It will carry Langley township's recommendations. Resolution proposed by Coun. Aubrey Searle will urge the UBCM to petition the provincial government to repeal a piece of tax legislation introduced on July 27, just before the politicians retired from one of the longest sessions of the legislative assembly In British Columbia's history. It is taking the NDP government to task for "this regressive tax" and will call for Premier Mike Harcourt and Finance Minister Glen Clark to withdraw it at the next sitting of the legislature. Searle's complaint is the amendments to the Social Services Tax Act that will make a number of labor charges applicable to the tax after October 1 this year. "This expansion of the sales tax is yet another burden on the people of this province who cannot afford any more taxes, and a detriment to the recovery of our shaky economy," the resolution states. The UBCM might listen, but it is doubtful that the provincial government will. H WORKWEN? WORLD ARE YOU READY FOR SCHOOL?

Urban, rural youngsters connect at PNE VANCOUVER - This year urban youngsters will get a rare opportunity to learn about life in the country from their rural cousins as the Pacific National Exhibition introduces its new 4-H Member/Urban Youth program. The largest program of its type in North America, 4-H Week at the Pacific National Exhibition begins Aug. 26 and brings almost 1,200 youngsters from afi over the province for five days of fun and competition. In addition to sponsoring the 4-H competitions, the PNE provides subsidized meals and dormitory accommodation for 4-H members and their chap- erones. "Our 4-H program represents an $80,000 investment in British Columbia's future," says PNE agriculture manager Harvey Carroll. This year, various participants in the provincial educational display competition will be partnered with a selected Vancouver youngster and a Lower Mainland livestock club for the first day. The Vancouver youngster will be able to meet the 4-H'er, help set up the 4-H educational display, and both will later get together with the livestock club to meet some more 4-H'ers and learn more about the animals involved. "It's going to be lots of fun and I want to learn about working on the farms," says 12-year- old Margaret Grafunder of east Vancouver, one of the urban participants. Grafunder, who goes to the PNE every year to "play the games and watch the chicks hatch in the incubator," looks forward to her day with 4-H, noting she has never been to a farm but hopes she can eventually "go and see what it's like." Eleven-year-old Vanessa Csurdi is just as excited. "I love animals," she says, noting she "had a rabbit, have a hamster and a cat. I want to learn more about animals and get more information from the 4- H'ers about what they do." • The 4-H participants are also enthusiastic about the new program. "I'm looking forward to it," says Dylan Woods of Lac La Hache. The seven-year 4-H member who lives on a Hereford cat- de ranch says he intends to "tell the city kids what 1 do and all about my 4-H career." Wanda Patterson, a 15-year old member of the Parksville/Qualicum Rabbit Club who is coming to the PNE with both her rabbits and an educational display on composting, believes urban kids can learn a lot from 4-H members. "They will learn about 4-H and how to take care of animals. They may even want to join. Rabbits don't take up a lot of space and you could have a 4-H rabbit club in the city," Patterson says.

ON NEW EQUESTRIAN TRAIL Residents fear perverts will be lurking MURRAYVILLE - Some people in south Langley are still concerned about a proposed pedestrian/equestrian trail in the area. Most like the idea, but not near their homes, please. Perverts could be lurking on the trail, south Langley resident Susan Maitland told municipal-, councilors here this week. She took councilors to task for approving the building of the trail although very little public input had been Invited. But the trail will be bulb. Mayor John Beales conceded that there has been "opposition all over" to the project, but he added that the community as a whole wants it. "And we have to pick the best site for it," he told Maitland.

James Morris of the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association and Joe Kirk, who has played for both the Aldergrove and Langley minor hockey associations, were among the five boys from the Lower Mainland selected for the B.C team at the tourney. New fields will be built in 'Grove ALDERGROVE - New sand and turf playing fields will be constructed at the Aldergrove Park. Council members in Murrayville this week authorized the mayor and municipal clerk to sign a $354,378 contract with Bruce S. Evans Ltd. for construction of the new fields at the downtown park. The old fields were unusable during the rainy season because of poor drainage. "The Aldergrove business community needs to be thanked for their generosity in their support given to these two boys," said Morris's parents. In round robin play, Team B.C. finished in first place, but in the race for the gold medal they went up against another Canadian team from northern Alberta. B.C. had previously beaten the Alberta team in the round robin segment but this time the results were different with the Wild Rose Country team getting the gold medal while B.C. enjoyed a respectable silver medal win The players were impressed with the international size rink and "really enjoyed playing under the tutelage of coach Garry Monahan. The experience of playing international hockey (there were teams from North America and Europe represented at the tourney) will remain with the boys forever," said Morris's parents. James Morris is looking forward to playing midget hockey with the Aldergrove league this coming season.

VVI lUl U 11 Ul 11 . Wfl IIjIL VANCOUVER - Thirty-seven young people from all over British Columbia are enjoying five days of fun, fellowship and learning at the 1993 Pacific National Exhibition as they participate in the 1993 PNE Youth Ambassador program. "It's a wonderful time and a wonderful learning experience," says PNE Youth Ambassador chief advisor Barbara Kelly. The youth representatives, who were each selected by their local communities, arrived at the Pacific National Exhibition the day before it opened, Friday, August 20. During their time in Vancouver, they participated in the PNE Parade and spent several hours capturing their impressions on film as they toured the annual, provincial fair. The participants will present their personal "glimpses" of the PNE and the Youth Ambassador program at the wind-up reception, August 24. At that time, the four Youth Ambassadors of 1993 will be announced. These f<->ur individuals, selected by their peers, will hcati the PNE Youth council which will, with regional representation, assist the Pacific National Exhibition in planning year- round activities for British Columbia youth. Leadership training is a key as- pect of the new Youth Ambassador program. During their first night at the fair, the Youth Ambassadors spent three hours getting to know each other and learning about each other's communities and regions. They are also attending three special Pacific National Exhibition-hosted "youth connection discussions" at Simon Fraser University. The discussions provide guidance in leadership, as well as enabling them to draw on their own experiences and insights as they discuss the issues facing today's and tomorrow's youth. Community involvement is another key to the program. Before they arrived at the Pacific National Exhibition, each of the participants had already completed 30 hours of community service activities in their own area. While at the fair, they spent several more hours in volunteer activities with seniors and children. SIGN OF AGING Accept the fact that you're getting old when a woman's voice on the telephone says, "Do you know who this is?" And you say "No" - and hang up. Little nine-year-old Joey came home one day and asked his mother where he came from. She told him to wait until his father came home. When her husband came in, he sat down and explained to Joey in carefully cho- sen words, exactly how a woman becomes pregnant. After he finished, the father asked his son why he had wanted to know. Joey said, "The kid who just moved in next door told me he came from New York. So I wanted to know where I came from." -From Ann Landers INSURANCE AGENCY LTD.

The survey, by Store Info and Merchandising Services International, looked at regular prices during the week of June 14 on 380 brand name items. Where items were carried by all three chains, the survey found that Kmart's prices were lower on a national average of 44 percent of the merchandise, Zeliers on 29 percent and Woolco on 27 percent.

MacBlo earnings improve VANCOUVER - MacMillan Bloedel has announced net earnings of $68.8 million for the first six months of the year. This compares with a loss of $18.1 million in the same period of 1992.

The display encompasses over 11,000 square feet and includes a United Nations "check point" where visitors can see the Ml 13 armoured personnel carrier used by Canadian troops in Yugoslavia. A giant map of the Pacific Search and rescue area graphically shows the location of over 2,500 calls for help each year. Armed Forces assistance to the RCMP in the fight to keep drugs out of Canada is depicted in a major display. The exhibition features videos, models, and mock-ups with many hands on activities. Visitors to the display will be able to use SHINCOMS, the internal communications system used in the new Canadian patrol frigates. Over a dozen members of the Canadian Forces, sailors, soldiers and air men and women are on hand to answer questions on a multitude of subjects from search and rescue to military communications and humanitarian aid. The display is located in front of the British Columbia Pavilion. Devastating effects of strike on economy continue to mount VANCOUVER - The devastating effects of the current BC Rail strike, now in its fifth week, are mounting and the strike's impact is being felt around the province. Petrosul International has been forced to postpone shipment of half of an offshore contract valued at around US$4-million, and the company says the entke contract may be cancelled if the BC Rail strike continues. Petrosul has already lost a firm offer to buy from a Latin American customer, representing approximately US$l-million in lost revenue. Company officials say the strike has directly affected Petrosul's ability to bid on approximately US$3-million in new business in at least four different countries in Southeast Asia where the company regularly does business. In addition to potential lost sales opportunities, Petrosul's management fears that the inability to offer on contracts , in this important market will hurt the company's reputation as a reliable supplier in future bidding. Bill Waters, associate professor of transportation and logistics at the University of B.C. says that British Columbia's suppliers will definitely feel the fall out from the current BC Rail strike in future negotiations with buyers. "If you are suddenly unable to deliver, that does hurt. There's just no doubt," Waters says. "You can bet at the next contract negotiation, this strike will come up and your customer will say 'Lookv we just carrt give you this kind of money for this product. You aren't a reliable supplier'." In the short term Petrosul has already laid off one third of its employees at its Pine River operations as of August 17, and the company's trucking contractor has had to lay off all of its drivers. A similar effect has been reported by Teck Corporation. With the cancellation of coal trains from the Quintette and Bullmoose mines, CN Rail has had to lay off five employees at the BC Rail interchange. Recendy, the B.C. Grain Producers Association in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek has reported lost sales valued at $3- 5-million. Waters says that with the pending layoffs around the province, many communities can expect to feel the strike's impact. "It's now going to have all the familiar multiplier effects on the communities. That means all those families directly affected are going to be cutting back and not spending. Retailers will see their sales fall off. The real significant impacts will start to hit home." Meanwhile, Petrosul says 900 tonnes per day of sulphur are being poured to block at the Pine River gas plant representing revenue losses to BC Rail of $20,000 a day. Company officials say that this revenue will not likely be recovered in the next decade. Waters says that some lost sales may never be recovered. "The moment you are unable to deliver, those sales may go away permanently,, you just.never know." THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 26. 1993 Home support ready to walk? BURNABY - The B.C. Government Employees' Union says more than 300 home support workers are set to strike in' Victoria, in a dispute that could eventually involve up to 1,000 other home support workers in the province. Strike notice at the three agencies in Victoria was served Tuesday. The workers have been without a contract since March of last year, with negotiations stalled over the issues of pensions and recognition of seniority in work assignments. "Wages are not an issue," said BCGEU chief negotiator Cliff Andstein. The Labor Relations Board has assigned mediator Don Cott to the dispute at the request of employer agencies, and strike action cannot begin unless Cott books out of mediation. There are 11 home support agencies in the dispute with employer organization, Continuing Care Employee Relations Association. Three Fraser \&lley agencies are involved, Including Ridge-Meadows, Surrey and White Rock, and Valley Home Support Societies, in Maple Ridge, Surrey and Clearbrook, respectively.

Chapel capsizes, man seeks help MURRAYVILLE - A Williams Lake man's plea for assistance to the Philippines was turned down by local officials here Monday night. "It is beyond our scope," said Langley township Mayor John Beales. Eduardo Mendoza had requested funds to assist victims of the capsizing of a floating chapel in Bocaue, Philippines in July, which resulted in the deaths of 315 people. Mendoza, a Philippine by birth, has made the same appeal to all British Columbia municipalities. "If one municipality will donate 50 cents for each victim, or a total of $157.50," he said, "our goal of $100 per victim (family) will be achieved in a short time.''

Morris Cerullo, the American tele-evangelist, flew into London with his circus amid a 'flurry of promises of miracles galore. Thousands packed the giant Earl's Court arena to hear him last year and now when he's back, the Cerullo publicity machine would have Britons believe that more than 2,000 were healed during his last visit. He is said to make the deaf hear and asthmatics breathe, and prints personal testimonies to prove it. Does he really deliver? Most in the medical profession and large swaths of the church establishment are skeptical of the claims of his multi-mill Inn-dollar operation. A year after Cerullo's first London triumph they are still seeking independent proof of healing. Dr. Martin Soole, a family doctor from East London, was asked to examine some of the cases Cerullo has used in his publicity campaign. Soole, an Anglican Evangelical, was one of a panel of eight (not all of them doctors) brought together by Cerullo to provide "irrefutable proof" that he could make God perform miracles. Soole was unable to support such 'proof: the woman who claimed to have been cured of a collapsed lung had, according to medical records, only a lung infection. The parents of a girl 'cured' of deafness would not allow access to her medical records - which might have proved she was not deaf in the first place. The woman who claimed healing of a "fibroid uterus" appeared never to have suffered from the problem. So why did Dr. Soole take part if he's such a skeptic? The point is, he isn't. "My concern is for the credibility of the Christian message and that was my only motivation for taking part," he said. "The message is ill-served where claims for miraculous healing are later shown to be no such thing. "I do believe that God heals and is sovereign. I would affirm that miracles happen today."

Better than three hours of the favorite hits from the past along with new tunes seemed to please most of the mostly over-30 crowd in the Coliseum. Santana is an accomplished guitarist and his eight-man band is a percussive dynamo behind the man who still exudes optimism along with the "peace and love* message he enjoys passing along. Dylan is a much more enigmatic character: he predominantly featured oldies that night but shook up the arrangements so much that few sounded like the original versions. He recently said that he does this intentionally, because he's still trying to figure out what he meant with his originals, which he called "demos." I still preferred the "Desire" band he toured with over a dozen years ago, but there was no talent lacking in his five-piece that night. They alternated between rocking up songs like Highway 6\ and doing the folkie acoustic thing with others. As the night went on it kept sounding better and better. Other major shows coming to the PNE are George Thorogood on Aug. 26 and Dwight Yoakam on Sept. 4. Sept 4 is also the date for Neil Young and Pearl Jam along with guests at B.C. Place. Congratulations to our contest winners of Dylan/Santana and George Thorogood concert tickets, courtesy of Perryscope Concert Productions and The Star: Rhonda Masztalar, Lisa Weih, Alex Gropp and \al Sturdy. Cindy Church is returning for another west coast concert tour in October with %ncouver's Tom Lee Music Hall set for the 22nd and Matsqui Centennial Auditorium on the 23rd. This time she has PolyGram Records behind her latest single release. Vancouver Record Collectors Association hold their fall Record and CD Sale on Sept. 12 at Kitsilano Community Centre, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The $2 admission offers 55 tables of collectibles. In other recording news, the Festival Records arm of the Vancouver Folk Music Society has grown so much that they have "taken wing and flown from the nest." It was founded in 1980 to help distribute the society's Aural Tradition recordings, then found stores to carry recordings by the likes of Rita MacNeil and Loreena McKennitt before they went on to major label success, and has grown to a catalog of 2,000 titles. There's just not enough space at the society's offices any longer, so manager Jack Schuller has taken it over, renamed it Festival Distribution Ltd., and relocated to new offices. Aural Tradition Records remains part of the society but will be distributed by Festival. Another independent, Spinner Music Group has just released Prism's comeback album, Jericho, and the band will be on stage at the PNE, Aug. 29 as part of the cross-country promotion. The group enjoyed \6 top-ten songs and is hoping that the song- writing teams of Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and Lindsay Mitchell and Al Harlow can again work that chart magic ten years later. The first single's Good To Be Back. Drummer Rocket Norton said, "We approached this project as if it had only been a year since we last recorded an album. This is only one of several albums we intend to record." The Phantom is back. Look for The Star's review next week. Coming up in September are THE* ALDERGROVE STAft.'AWSOST *6. 1993 i± It's fun, it's fascinating and it's fulfilling shows by Michelle Shocked at the Commodore and Matthew Sweet at the Town Pump. Shocked has released a number of excellent albums on Poly- Gram, including the most recent Arkansas Traveler, a sort of travelogue of her world travels. She had been booked for two shows at VECC, but has consol- dated for one show at the larger Commodore. Matthew Sweet has labored long without receiving the just due until Girlfriend finally broke him into the 400,000 copies sold league two years ago. His wit and pop edge on his latest, Altered Beast (Zoo/BMG) compares favorably to the sound of REM in many places, but he is his own man. He's been called a pop alchemist for his ability to take disparate ideas and turn them into aural gold; once you're hooked into Sweet you'll be a fan forever. With help from Fleetwood Mac-Buckingham producer Richard Dashut and players like Richard Lloyd, Robert Quine, Greg Leisz, Nicky Hopkins and Mick Fleetwood, Sweet has a lengthy album chock-full of quality tunes that recall the best of the Beatles, Neil Young and even the Beach Boys in its Influences. Check it out and be sure to catch the concert. On the country side, Steve Wiriner has a new album coinciding with a tour that brings him to the west coast this fall. Nashville's "Renaissance Man" has the new Drive album and single If I Didnt Love You (BMG) that is sure to follow up the big success of I Am Ready. He is a consummate singer, guitarist and songwriter, as he proved a few years ago at the Coliseum when he easily stole the thunder from Hank Williams Jr. He started out as a session guitar player but came into his own as a solo act in the '80s. U2's new Zooropa album (Island) is already atop the charts, and Midnight Oil's Earth Sun And Moon (Columbia) is faring well with its blistering sounds, but fans of female singer/songwriters would do well to check out Ashley Cleveland's Bus Named Desire (Reunion) and the Juliana Hatfield Three's Become What You Are (Attic). Cleveland was a sideperson with John Hiatt on his last solo tour and album and the influences of that experience show on her album. There's a hard edge along with the sharp words, but most thrilling is her range and uncompromising vo- C I N E P L E.MM&MM W CLEARBROOK CINEMAS 32500 SOUTH FRASER WAY ■ 850-2233 SURF NINJA: Nightly: 7:30, 9:40.

AUGUST 26. 1993 Speafanjj of 'Books A Book Review by Ken Lang Crime Fiction from B.C. Blood Vessel by Paul Grescoe (Douglas & Mclntyre, 214 pages, $24.95) Dan Rudnicki has been called a male private eye for the nineties. As a .widower raising two adolescent daughters, Rudnicki is struggling to get a grip—both on life in general and a solid career. He also belongs to the Ukrainian ethnic minority, and he has a former girlfriend, Nadia Kulish, for a sidekick. Nadia, not so incidentally, has a useful habit of turning up information for Dan in her role as an investigative reporter for a Vancouver newspaper. The characters are the creation of Winnipeg-born Paul Grescoe, whose earlier Rudnicki mystery, Flesh Wound (M&S, $6.99), won the Arthur Ellis Award for the best first novel of 1991 from the Crime Writers of Canada. In Blood Vessel, the second in the series, Dan is hired to give some talks on crime to a group of retail merchants taking a luxury cruise that will stretch the length of the B.C. coast from Vancouver to Alaska. But what begins as a working holiday for Dan and his two daughters, soon turns into an action- packed nightmare. The tension begins before the ship is boarded. The luxury liner is owned by a gigantic Japanese corporation, and an environmental group named SAVE is going to extremes in its protest over the company's use of driftnet fishing techniques. More trouble surfaces when the drunk and belligerent president of the British Columbia Fishing Company claims to have been bankrupted by the ship's owner. Throw in a mean and surly hulk who belongs to the Japanese Mafia, and just about anything could happen. Still, when death arrives, it creeps up slowly catching the reader by surprise. Blood Vessel is a big step forward for Grescoe. It tells a more compelling story than Flesh Wound because the narrative isn't interrupted by large doses of background information. And though tbe humour is also improving, I'm still not sure I like groaning over bad puns quite as often as Rudnicki delivers them. , Prized Possessions by L.R. Wright (Doubleday, 298 pages, $23.95) L.R. Wright rivets the reader's attention by page three of Prized Possessions, the fifth in a superb series featuring Karl Al- berg, an R.C.M.P. staff sergeant working out of Sechelt on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast This time Alberg assumes the role of off- duty detective during a leave of absence, as he tackles the case of a missing husband. Emma, the wife, was raised by a mother determined to make her daughter self- reliant—especially independent of men. For , awhile Emma complies, but then rebels. In fact, she decides to forget about a career and be a model housewife, devoted to her husband. She'll be the kind of wife no man can resist—or so she thinks. However, it's soon clear that the marriage has gone awry, and discovering why becomes as big a mystery as the whereabouts of her husband. That's the gist of the first of two stories that eventually collide head-on. In the second, young Eddie Addison meets Melanie, a university student, while delivering a parcel to her home. Irritated and humiliated by her treatment of him, he overreacts and leaves after crudely cursing her. Though that should be the end of it, they're destined for a series of increasingly unpleasant encounters. As usual, Ms. Wright offers more than a tale of detection. She takes us into the minds of two unstable characters prone to obsessions that lead to unintentional yet disastrous results. In Prize Possessions the emphasis isn't on whodunit, but who's going to do what. Matrimony or murder comes SURREY - The Best Western Pacific Inn, in association with I ABC Theatre and Top Notch Entertainment, are pleased another of their popular murder mystery events is about to happen again.

Bard bashes box office record VANCOUVER - On August 18 Bard on the Beach broke their own box office record, surpassing the 23,000 ticket mark. This, the fourth season for the Shakespearean theatre company playing in an open-ended tent in Vanier Park, is 'galloping apace' to 95% average houses. "I am thrilled that Vancouver audiences have embraced Douglas Campbell's productions and recognize the high calibre of this remarkable company," said artistic director Christopher Gaze. When asked about the unusually cool summer's effect on the box office, Gaze said, "The wind and the rain have not kept record numbers of dedicated patrons from enjoying every moment of these magnificent plays." With about a dozen performances remaining, Bard on the Beach has logged 38 sell-outs and is well on the way to selling over 26,000 tickets. The Taming of the Shrew is sold out until September 1 and the remaining performances are selling rapidly. Each night hopeful audience members "stand-by" for a chance at cancelled tickets. Some seats are still available for both Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew; call the Bard Box Office at 733-1910 or TicketMaster at 280-3311 (service charges apply). All tickets are $12, (including GST), with the exception of the September 4 and 5 matinees, which are a bargain at $9. mm I ft ®iKi J^C^L Don't be em'bear'arressed about having your fortune told.

"This has been a very difficult and disappointing decision for us, and one which we very much regret having to make." Runshaug said. "Since we started the business in February, 1992, we have been working very hard to build our ridership. Despite these efforts, we have been carrying only half the passengers we need in order to make the operation viable." "Our immediate concern is our employees, who have been our greatest asset. Royal Sealink Express is very proud to have worked with such an excellent group of individuals, and we will be doing everything we can to assist them at this difficult time."

"We need mature people, both men and women over the age of 19, who can give victims of various types of crime the help and support that they need," said Leesa Kelly, program coordinator. "Our volunteers are caring, compassionate and understanding," she added. "A lot of time is spent simply being a good listener. It is a big shock when you are a victim of crime and it can help a great deal if there is a friendly voice to talk to and a knowledgeable person to guide you through the legal system and support you during trial." In the last six months, the dedicated volunteers have donated well over 2,000 hours of their time. "We ask for a minimum commitment of six hours a week, during the day, for at least one year," said Kelly. "Successful applicants are required to obtain and maintain a security clearance. They are provided with a 40-hour comprehensive training program, and after that, training sessions are provided on an ongoing basis. Assistance and guidance is available to our volunteers at all times." "The Langley Rotary Club and the Langley Crime Prevention Society donated a vehicle for use by the program so it is not necessary to have the use of a car," said Kelly, "but a valid B.C. drivers' licence is a definite asset." Carolyn Burns, the assistant coordinator, said "We are holding an orientation meeting in order to explain in detail about the Victim/Witness program and what we do. People who come will have the opportunity to ask questions about our service and will also be provided with the opportunity to speak individually with our volunteer victim support workers about what the work entails. Our volunteers come from different backgrounds; some are people exploring careers in criminology or social services, others are people who simply want to give back to the community. What they all have in common is that they have the time available to commit themselves wholeheartedly to the program, they enjoy the challenging nature of the work and they have the personal qualities necessary to carry out the work to the highest possible standard." The orientation meeting is planned for Thursday, September 9 at 7 p.m. at the RCMP office in Langley. Register by calling Chris or Maureen, 532-3214 or 532-3216.

DID YOU KNOW? 1918 - Otter had three mills: Otter Lumber Co., manager was Robert Clarke; Otter Shingle Mill, M.C. Walker was the manager; Otter Sawmill Co., manager was Robert Clarke. - recorded in B.C. Directory. New Kwantlen campus is now open THE ALDERGROVE STAR. AUGUST 28. 1993 13 LANGLEY - On August 19, Tom Perry, Minister of Advanced Education, Training and Technology announced the offi- cial opening of the new Kwantlen College campus at 20901 Langley By-Pass. The announcement included presenting each of the 400 guests with a two-year-old white spruce seedling, donated by Hybrid Nurseries Ltd. "The government has provided funding to accommodate up to 1,600 full and part-time students at Kwantlen's new Langley campus. This commitment is part of the government's strategy to invest in the people of British Columbia and a result of an increase in 2,900 new FTEs across the province this year," said Perry. "The campus will offer these students a diversified mix of applied and vocational programs, to pave the way for a wide range of job and educational opportunities." Construction of the $30.4-mil- lion campus has created an impressive focal point for the Langley communities. The new facility is KwanUen's most comprehensive community college campus - offering academic studies - transferring to universities - trades, technologies, career, adult basic and adult special education opportunities. Th6 courses and programs available were designed to serve community needs and meet employment opportunities in the province. A major feature is the B.C. Horticulture Centre. "The continuing goal of the college is to create and maintain a vibrant learning environment in the south Fraser region," said Christopher Humble, Kwantlen College board chair. "Today, we renew that pledge. On behalf of the board, I pledge that we will continue to provide our students with every opportunity to strive for excellence." "This campus is the result of cooperation and consultation," continued Humble. "A prime example is the B.C. Horticulture Centre located here in the heart of the horticulture industry. Resulting from effective and positive collaboration between private industry, government and education, the centre was planned and implemented with the full consultation of the three sectors, providing an example of responsive, meaningful training that is necessary for the future economic stability of the province." Straddling a rural heritage and serving urban demands, the campus allows students many options - from-learning skilled trades, to pursuing business programs, or becoming talented musicians. The professional music program - taught by several current and former members of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra - is an important addition to post- secondary education in Langley, with music providing a major focus for the Langley communities at the elementary and high school levels. "We stand here today celebrating the opening of this college campus with the many people who have made it possible - people dedicated to education," said Adrienne MacLaughlin, Kwantlen College president. "All of you have worked hard to make this happen. Now we will do our part to deliver quality education, resources ancf services to all of our students. You can be certain the college will return to the community the investment that you - the taxpayers - have made." Among the programs, services and resources available, the campus offers a 250-seat performance theatre, a daycare centre for the children of students, employees and the community, and a library and bookstore open to the public. WD-40 turns 40 and looks for most unusual uses ETOBICOKE - Although WD-40 has its roots in the aerospace in- dustry, some claim it has achieved "cult" status as a consumer product. The cult comes from all the unusual stories people come up with about WD-40. The WD-40 company is now trying to track down these odd stories and uses for the product. Now celebrating its 40th birthday, WD-40 was originally created to prevent corrosion on the Atlas missile. Now people all around the world claim it "cures" arthritis. Fishing enthusiasts report that WD-40, when sprayed on bait, acts as a fish attractant, allowing them to out-fish their friends. Pet owners claim it cures mange on animals. Homeowners spray their garbage cans with it to keep bugs and animals out. Although WD-40 company does not endorse or encourage these uses, the list goes on and on. WD-40 reportedly saved a man's life when he was trapped in his car after an accident. He used it to open the jammed door, just before the car blew up. A nude burglary suspect who had wedged himself in a vent at a cafe in Denver, was extracted by the fire department with a large dose of WD-40. A Florida man, whose boat was boarded by modern day pirates, hit one of the would-be hijackers over the head with a can of WD-40, which knocked him off the boat and saved the day. A California woman recently wrote in that her parakeet had accidentally adhered itself to sticky mouse-trap paper. When she tried to free the stuck bird, her hands became stuck. A neighbour drove them both to the vet, where they were promptly released by a spray of WD-40. In honour of its 40th anniversary, WD-40 Company is looking for strange and unusual uses and stories involving WD-40. The first 50 consumers to send in unusual or quirky uses of the product will be eligible to receive a commemorative 15 oz. can of WD-40. Interested consumers can write to WD-40's Most Unusual Uses, P.O. Box 220, Etobicoke, Ontario. M9C 4V3 FARM • LIVESTOCK . MORTALITY Financing O.A.C. 857-1112 MS 27030 Fraser Hwy.

AUQU8T 26. 1993 Study abroad in one of 35 countries around the world The ABCs Of Getting Your Child Ready for School With September fast approaching, those first hesitant steps to kindergarten represent the biggest transition your child will ever make. That's why Playskool Canada wants to help make those giant baby steps just'a little bit easier. Playskool, the country's leader in quality, educational, and innovative toys for children, has surveyed the leading child development experts to get the best advice on preparing your kids for school. Here's what they have to say: DO READ TO YOUR CHILD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. It's never too early to introduce books to your preschooler. Books help children learn about language — the way it is constructed, its patterns and the way words work together to create meaning. Speech sounds are demonstrated and familiar objects are named. Reading regularly to children also helps them develop good listening skills — and that's a prerequisite to any kind of effective learning. DO START WITH THE ABCs. Recognizing the letters of the alphabet is the first step in developing reading readiness in a child. Alphabet blocks, magnetic letters or toys and the ever popular "A is for Apple" books go a long way towards helping a child learn the alphabet. To help kids have fun while learning-the alphabet. Playskool has introduced TALKING ALPHABET ALPHIE, adding a new twist to an already popular favourite.TALKING ALPHABET ALPHIE lets children Ihrec and up play letter and picture games as ALPHIE answers "You're Right" or "Try Again" in a friendly, encouraging voice. Three different beginner modes allow younger child-' ren to identify familiar pictures, while five different letter modes help teach letter recognition and progress to basic spelling skills. DON'T FORGET ABOUT FINE MOTOR SKILLS. To encourage the quantum leaps in learning that come in the preschool years, experts say it's important that kids develop both problem solving and fine motor skills. Shape matching toys, jigsaw puzzles, and different types of building play will all help children recognize common shapes and develop an ability for manipulating objects. This kind of learning is what Playskool's FORM FITTER is designed to encourage. FORM FITTER lets kids 18 months to five years match 18 textured shapes into a 6-sided cube. DO ENCOURAGE LOTS OF PLAY. It sounds simple enough, but experts think it's worth emphasizing. Play makes major contributions to every aspect of a child's growth — emotional, intellectual, physical, and social. There is nothing as creative or ingenious as the imagination of a young child at play. In fact, research has shown that if children are allowed to play with simple objects, they will come up with a variety of new uses for them. As a result, some of the most successful toys offer several different or completely flexible ways to play them. That's the magic behind PLAY-DOH, a favourite modelling compound for more than 35 years. The new I'LAY-DOH Sesame' Street ABC Co. playset teams up 26 alphabet letter moulds with two colourful six-ounce cans of Play- Doh. Kids decide which letters to make and which colours to use. And because they're in control, learning the alphabet is fun. Another simple yet edu- .cational toy is Playskool's MAGNETIC CAPITAL LETTERS. Kids ages three to eight can stick these large letters of the alphabet to everything from fridges to metal wagons, and the type of play is limited only by the child's imagination. The one consistent result is that MAGNETIC CAPITAL LETTERS will help children leam their ABCs, an important reading readiness skill. DON'T FORGET TO PREPARE YOUR CHILD EMOTIONALLY FOR SCHOOL. Tell them exactly what will go on in school. Give the child as many details as possible. If possible, coasider a prior visit or orientation to the school.

College keeps 'green' industry going LANGLEY - B.C.'s horticulture industry employed approximately 20,000 people in 1991, with an expected annual increase of two to three percent in growth. And although jobs are sprouting up everywhere, there are few skilled people to fill them. New technology makes working with nature more complex than travelling door to door with a truck, lawn- mower, and shovel. "We need to be more sophisticated and refined in our approach. More people would get training if they knew of the tremendous potential that exists within the industry," says Dieter Thomas, director of horticulture at Kwanden College. In 1991, B.C. horticulture production and farm sales generated $424-million in revenue. Some of this was due to steady housing construction and the "earthy" needs of environmentally sensitive "baby boomers". But more revenue can be generated in the future. "There's also a hidden 'need apparent to those who have been exposed to the industries of Europe, Japan, and North America," says Thomas. "We're realizing we're part of a global market." "To be competitive, we have to quit thinking small. We have to prepare ourselves by training people and by making them aware of the challenges ahead." To fill the gap, the B.C. Horticulture Centre was developed through discussions between industry, education and government. These budding stages were initiated by the provincial horticultural advisory committee. The result is a new centre in the middle of the industry, surrounded by nurseries, turf farms, greenhouse operations and landscape firms, whose operators will be involved in the education process. The twenty-acre horticulture centre at the new campus is designed to meet the training needs for the province. With the technology, floristry and apprenticeship programs starting this September, and the technician program beginning in January, the centre is successfully poised to serve the industry. "The programs will be relevant because of the industry's involvement," says Thomas. "We won't be graduating students who find themselves alienated from what's out there." What's out there is of particular interest to Bruce McTavish, chair of the provincial horticultural advisory committee. He says, "The primary goal is to be competitive on a world level. Because our international cost structures are higher in terms of taxes, land and labor, the only way we can be competitive is to have a highly skilled work force which allows us to invest in technology." In addition, says McTavish, "The programs at Kwantlen will displace the hiring that is now going on out of Europe. There's no doubt that positions are available." Experts estimate that a floriculture technician can earn about $30,000 in the first year. A senior horticulturalist can draw $50,000 to $75,000 annually. Want to learn how to become a parent?

Pateraon photo ASK ANNABELLE Dear Readers, As there were no letters this week for your perusal and because I was tidying up some papers I found in a bottom drawer, I want to share with you this letter I found from my late sister-in-law, Sally Martin Lee. Sally worked as a teacher in her early twenties at Alert Bay and obviously it had a great effect on her and her later life: There are many old village sites such as this, hidden away among the islands and inlets of the north-west Pacific coast They are nearly always situated in positions to command the shore lines, and are usually guarded on one or both sides by some sort of rude fort or barricade of rocks, for Indian wars and raids were frequent The beaches are littered with heaps of crushed and broken clam shells, as clams formed a major part of the diet of their people. Where the beaches were rocky, the stones were rolled into long rows leaving strips of smooth sand upon which were pulled up the village dugout canoes Yoe-la is the wind. There is a rocky point of land. With a clear view to the sea; And the winds blow and the fog comes, And the seiners crowd its lee. Along the bead Are ribbons of* And rocks between that are green with weed, Were rolled in place by hand. The little sloping bench above, Is bright with matted grass; And deep in the tangle are hidden things, MA Left by the souls that pass. There are broken shells and broken tools, Chipped flint and molded bones, A circular hollow where a lodge once stood, And little piles of stones. On the windward side, around the point. Is a tumbled, rocky wall; And a mink's trail winds among the rocks, And the weeds grow thick and tall. And over the shell-white beach and the wall, And the small, lost things in the grass, The whispering alders spread their arms, And talk of the souls that pass. And Yoe-la wails in the alder tops, And the weeping rain remembers. That he who watched on the point is gone, Long dead are his pot-fire's embers. VANCOUVER - Race and Rodney, two young male northern elephant seals who were rescued and rehabilitated by the. Vancouver Aquarium are heading back to sea. On Friday, August 20, Race and Rodney were released off Race Rocks near Victoria. The hefty youngsters weigh in at 300 kgs, so the move will requite lots of help from Aquarium friends. Pro-Tech Industrial is donating heavy equipment to move Race and Rodney onto a flatbed truck provided by the Vancouver Parks Board. Pearson College is also assisting with transportation. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has arranged for a flatbed boat called a "seatruck" with a specialized ramp giving Race ana Rodney easy access to the water. Russ Andrews, a University of British Columbia researcher who specializes in elephant seals is participating in the release. Andrews states, "In recent years, we've seen more elephant seals on Race Rocks. This is unusual. It will be interesting to see if these young males will show up at the rookeries off the coast of California late this fall." Race and Rodney will be flipper tagged and dye-marked with Lady Clairol ultra-black for easy identification by researchers. Sightings:of the young elephant seals should be phoned in to the Vancouver Aquarium at 685-3364. Race was suffering from a fractured jaw and was starving when he was rescued from Race Rocks on May 11. He underwent surgery and has made an excellent recovery. Rodney arrived at the Aquarium on April 30, malnourished, parasitized and with a life threatening skin infection. Call for BC senators to resign VICTORIA - All six British Columbia senators should resign their appointments immediately and allow the people of the province to either show confidence in them or elect new senators. Independent Liberal MLA David Mitchell says his Private Member's Bill, introduced in the Legislature, July 29 would allow an election for senators in conjunction with civic elections held throughout the province this fall. "This would be a step toward meaningful senate reform in B.C.," says Mitchell. "If we cannot bring about significant change to the senate now, then the demand for its abolition will grow louder, and rightfully so." Mitchell's bill amends the Senatorial Selection Act-1990 - which provides for senate seats to be filled at the time of a provincial election - by allowing vacancies to be filled during local municipal elections, as well. "With this minor revision, and only a nod from Prime Minister Kim Campbell, we could accomplish this important change - and without even mentioning the word 'constitution'," says Mitchell. The precedent for such an election was the appointment by Prime Minister Mulroney of the late Alberta Senator Stan Waters following his election by the people of Alberta in 1989. Albertans turned out in record numbers to vote for Waters in a ballot that accompanied that province's 1989 municipal elections. The Prime Minister of the day listened to their wishes and appointed Waters the following year. "The time is more than ripe for British Columbians to have the same say. Our present six appointed B.C. senators must step aside and help bring about the kind of direct democracy that could provide an effective voice for the provinces. If they make this historic gesture, they will help restore confidence in an institution that is now rapidly declining in public esteem," concludes the West Vancouver- Garibaldi MLA. Mining industry blames NDP VICTORIA - Last year was the worst for exploration in a decade for the province's flagging mining industry, according to the Mining Association's annual report, and this year will be worse. "We can reverse this trend," association president Gary Livingstone says. "But it requires a change in attitude from our current (provincial) government." Report showed that exploration spending industry- wide in British Columbia declined 49 percent last year to $58-million, while in Canada overall the decline was just 12 percent. It also projected exploration to rise this year Canada-wide by eight percent, while spending in B.C. will continue to sink, by another 18 percent. Employment in the mining industry fell from 12,587 in 19911 to 10,576 in 1992.

AUGUST 26. 1993 17 The Wark/Dumais Heritage House stands on the providing an historic backdrop to the contemporary site of the Kwantlen College new Langley campus, setting. Heritage house preserved on new campus LANGLEY - The newly-opened Kwantlen College Langley campus embraces a picturesque farmhouse constructed at the turn of the century. As a result, a soothing sense of history will' prevail as students rush to their classes. Although the ultramodern college greets students for the first time this fall, the Wark/Dumais House on the southwest corner of the grounds has already had a flow of many visitors within its walls. The house, with its gingerbread trim, stained glass windows, upper balconies and large verandah is a beautiful example of turn-of-the-century Carpenter Gothic architecture, as well as an early Langley farmhouse. Marion Tucker, past president of the Langley Heritage Society, supervised restoration of the house in 1987. "The transformation is an exciting process," she says. Transformation is also expensive. The exterior restoration cost over $100,000 in grants. This would be a heady sum to Robert Wark, Langley's earliest Reeve, who came from Londonderry in 1890 to take over the property he inherited, llis uncle, Henry Wark, originally purchased the large parcel of land from the Hudson Bay Co. It took him ten years to build the house in which he lived with his wife until 1918. In 1926, Albert Dumais from Quebec bought the house and acreage located along Glover Road and ran a dairy farm for many years. Mrs. Dumais. lived in the house until 1979 when the land was bought by Langley City and sold to Kwantlen College. With some basic restoration, the house became a classroom. That function was short-lived, however. Caretakers were put into the house in 1984 when the campus closed due to lack of funding. "When Kwanden decided to re-build the campus two year later," says Tucker, "they wanted a clean site. They didn't think the house was economically viable." Fortunately, the Heritage Society negotiated a lease to preserve the house. Restoration is still being handled by the society. Two museum curators are now new tenants assigned to revive the interior. The future function of the house isn't yet known and is changeable. Says Tucker, "History isn't just in a book. It's a continuum with a physical dimension that gives us roots. It's ironic how the campus has a horticulture and agriculture focus. This continues what the Warks started." "The views from inside the new campus give a stunning and different interpretation of the house. The view had always been from the road. But with this new perspective, it becomes an ultimate piece of statuary." Features in the setting were designed to complement each other. The college structure incorporates brick and metal materials oriented to a rural setting in mountain-rimmed grasslands. "Tan brick, grey metal and paving, and the use of primary colours recall the tones found in the region's dry meadow grass, wetland clay soils, and the machinery of the agrarian workplace," says architect Barry Downs of Downs/Archambault' Partners. Michael Kluckner, current president of the Langley Heritage Society, appreciates that the campus composition is a testament to its surroundings. He says, "Our interest in heritage is tied to our interest in the environment and conservation in general. "We're pleased with the cooperation and desire on the part of Kwantlen and Langley to keep the legacy of the pioneers alive in the face of the changing nature of the community. A mature community needs continuity. In order to have a sense of the future, we have to have some knowledge of the past." DID YOU KNOW?

Aug. 31/93 r Environmental pulp mill system with a price tag of $110-million VANCOUVER - ABB Combustion Systems, a division of ABB, completed a $110-million state of the art chemical recovery boiler system for Crestbrook Forest Industries Ltd.'s Skookumchuk pulp mill. This project marks a unique joint effort by ABB Combustion Systems, Crestbrook Forest Industries and Mitsubishi Canada. In the official turnkey ceremony, Stuart Lang, president and chief operating officer of Crestbrook Forest Industries, praised ABB Combustion Systems' ability and expertise in designing and building the project. "ABB Combustion Systems proved to us that this complex project could be conceived, designed and built within budget Councilors turn % down application MURRAYVILLE - "Ifs a perfect example of land you can't do anything with," said Mayor John Beales. But councilors turned down a subdivision application made by Robert and Marie Grieve. Their 127-acre property, at 25125 - 72 Avenue, is in the agricultural land reserve, and they had asked for permission to cut it up into 23 rural residential lots. Land is mainly hillside and ravine property. "We are overburdened in trying to supply services to existing (rural) properties," said Coun. Aubrey Searle. More small lots would add to this pressure on local government, he pointed out.' Also Coun. John Campbell, agreed that it was necessary to "preserve Langley" and its rural character. Another subdivision application, this one made by Thomas McLoughlin of 4043 - 248 Street, was endorsed by local councilors. McLoughlin will be allowed to split his 10-acre parcel into two, if B.C.'s agricultural land commissioners agree. and on time - in fact one month ahead of schedule. We feel this is a world record for this type of plant. In today's tough economic times, on time and on budget are the keys to remaining competitive. ABB has helped us enormously in achieving Crestbrook's goals of environmental excellence and economic effectiveness". ABB Combustion Systems received the order for a chemical recovery boiler island for Crestbrook's Skookumchuk pulp mill from Mitsubishi Canada Ltd. to replace the previous Mitsubishi supplied chemical recovery unit. That unit was 28 years old. The state of the art ABB system will be instrumental in reducing the mill's emissions.

AUGUST 26. 1993 Plan to control hazardous waste BURNABY - A policy for the management of household hazardous waste in the region has been endorsed by the Greater Vancouver Regional District board of directors. Under the three-part program the GVRD would set up a regional system for the collection of the household hazardous waste from residents and small quantity generators, such as retail outlets. The materials could be < dropped off at depots, like existing solid waste facilities, throughout the region. The provincial Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks would pick up the material from ' the regional depots and be responsible for its proper treatment and disposal. Using the 'polluter pay* principle, the province would initiate a program to levy product charges on materials regarded as house hold hazardous waste, with a view to generating sufficient revenue to cover the collection and disposal costs. The product charge would also serve as a deterrent on the purchase of the wastes. The province would reimburse the GVRD and its member municipalities for their costs. In conjunction with the collection service the GVRD. proposes to implement an education program to promote conservation, reduction and reuse activities for household hazardous waste. It points out, for instance, that used paints and solvents, which constitute nearly 70% of household hazardous waste, can usually be reused or recycled if properly managed. The GVRD policy position has been sent to Environment Minister John Cashore and waste reduction commissioner Dorothy Caddell. A VIEW FROM HOSPITAL HILL Process leads to scanner choice With the announcement that Picker Inc. has been awarded the contract to install a new CT Scanner at Langley Memorial Hospital, diagnostic services in this area are about to increase significantly. However, the process which led to this decision was not a simple one - you dont just get out the yellow pages and start phoning when you're in the market for major health care equipment. Nancy Clark, LMH's Director of Materiel Services, explains the process required to reach the decision to spend over $800,000 on equipment such as the new CT (computerized tomography) Scanner. "Once the Ministry of Health announces its decision to fund the purchase and operation of this new equipment, our first task is to decide on the specifications and standards for the equipment which will do the job we want.", says Ms. Clark. "This process involves everyone at the hospital whose expertise is closely related to the equipment being purchased - in the case of the CT Scanner, experts in diagnostic imaging and biomedical engineering worked closely with purchasing staff to put together the equipment specifications." On this particular project, staff from Peace Arch Hospital were very involved in the whole process since this equipment is going to be shared between the two institutions. Because funding for major equipment comes from the provincial government, Mr. Danny Dare, the Ministry of Health's Equipment Consultant provided input and ideas throughout the process. The detailed specifications agreed to by the hospital team and the government then form the main part of an "invitation to tender". As part of the hospital's policy of adhering to fair business practices, this information is then sent to all potential equipment suppliers. For the CT Scanner, six companies chose to submit a bid to supply this equipment. "For a major purchase like this, the successful supplier is the one which offers the best value for money", notes Ms. dark. "We will look at whether the equipment meets our standards, and also pay careful attention to the services we will need in the future - services such as technical support, staff education and troubleshooting help. We have to consider the cost of operating the equipment after it is installed as part of the price - we call this life- cycle costs." A hospital which is researching a major equipment purchase will also talk to other institutions which are already using similar equipment, to ask whether they are satisfied with the equipment and the follow-up services. "Only when we have satisfied ourselves that the supplier meets our specifications, has a solid track record and gives the best overall value for money will we settle on the successful bidder," concludes Ms. Clark. Let communities decide, says Bruce PRINCE RUPERT - Social Credit leadership candidate Graham Bruce says too much attention is being paid to the environmentalists in the ongoing controversy over old-growth logging in the Clayoquot Bruce said individuals have the right to agree or disagree with the government's decision, but suggests the entire industry is threatened, "not through the management or mismanagement of our forests, but by the manipulation of national and international public opinion. It is time for the media to look beyond just symptoms." He asked why credence is given to foreigners such as Bobby Kennedy Jr. and rock band Midnight Oil by the media. "The Friends of the Clayoquot have been given front pages and prime time news broadcasts as a forum for their views. Who are they? Who funds them? Who dictates their agenda?" "My hometown of Crofton has its roots in the forest industry. In fact as a community we manage our own forest. It is the people who work in the forest industry, their families, neighbors and friends whose views should be counted. I think that if the media looked beyond their deadlines they would find that the true environmentalists are those that depend on the proper management of B.C.'s resources."

The board produced the poster for Surrey City Celebration '93 as its gift to Surrey on the historic occasion of the municipality becoming a city. The poster features Stelier's Jays on Flowering Dogwood, a new work by South Surrey artist Don Li-Leger. The painting shows two Stelier's jays on a bough of flowering dogwood in the foreground and a park scene in the background, commemorating Surrey's reputation as the City of Parks. The Stelier's jay and the dogwood are official B.C. emblems, and Surrey has both in abundance. The commemorative poster will be widely seen throughout Surrey before, during and after City Celebration '93, the four days of festivities planned for Sept. 9-12 to border the official incorporation ceremony on Sept. 11. It will be offered for sale through Lower Mainland art shops, framing shops and galleries.

"Part of these supplies are for hospitals in Serbia which have run out of basic supplies, part is for Bosnia and Sarajevo," says Gerber. CLEARBROOK - The well-publicized airlift of several injured persons, including children, has prompted renewed interest in the war in the former Yugoslav republics. What about those who remain in local hospitals? Hansuli Gerber, secretary for Mennonite Central Committee (MCC Europe), says MCC has been and will continue to send medical supplies into the former Yugoslavia. "While it is necessary to evacuate patients who cannot get proper treatment on site, it is also extremely important, but less spectacular, to provide basic medical supplies for those with lesser injuries. MCC is trying to offer help to such people," Gerber says. Among MCCs efforts is the air-, lifting into Belgrade, sufficient MCC is also planning a shipment of canned beef, soap and' blankets for Bosnian refugees and people suffering under the collapse of the Serbian economy. In September, MCC will place a couple in Belgrade to work with a Christian relief agency which is involved in refugee work and humanitarian aid to Bosnia. .

Pam Gamett of North Punishing drivers is wrong, says Weisgerber DAWSON CREEK - Social Credit leader Jack Weisgerber has commended the government for finally reaching a health care agreement with the doctors. "The plan to save $370-million through efficiencies is very vague" Weisgerber said, "but I must compliment the government for finally realizing that the $25- million pension plan for doctors that Social Credit negotiated was a good deal for taxpayers and a fair deal for doctors. "I am very disturbed, however, with the continuing NDP trend to hide tax increases through rate hikes at ICBC and B.C. Hydro. "Car owners have been especially hard hit by the NDP government through punitive tax in creases, and higher ICBC premiums. Following 30% ICBC rate hikes in the last two years, in June they announced that ICBC would take over some of the responsibility for road maintenance at high-volume intersections. "This health accord hits drivers with another $60-million by making ICBC pay for all personal injury medical expenses involving motor vehicle accidents. Another round of punitive ICBC premium increases appears inevitable. "This government must stop punishing motorists - and must realize that British Columbians won't be fooled by hidden tax increases in auto insurance premiums."

Baker's appointment 'the height of patronage' DAWSON CREEK - Socred leader Jack Weisgerber said that the appointment of former principal secretary Linda Baker as the head of the new Public Sector Employers Council represents, "the height of patronage.'' "If Linda Baker couldn't cut it as the premier's principal secretary, taxpayers-should ask themselves why she's been appointed to head up the new Public Sectors Employers Council," Weisgerber said. "It's painfully obvious that Baker's appointment is a patronage plum intended to put Ken Georgetti and Bob Williams in the driver's seat over collective bargaining throughout the public sector." The Socred chief noted that Baker's past history with the NDP caucus and the Harcourt government have added to her reputation as a Bob Williams protege with a fervently pro-union background. "Baker will have more power in her new position than ever before - and that scares the daylights out of me, as a taxpayer. Not only is Baker utterly unqualified for the job, but her appointment confirms our worst fears about the Public Sector Employers' Council. " Used equipment, donated clothing, benefit Haiti hospital LANGLEY - When Hope Hospital in Port-au-Prince opens its doors to the children of Haiti, some of its equipment will have first served the residents of Langley. Thanks to the joint efforts or the Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti, Langley Memorial Hospital and the Langley branch of Rotary International, the facility has received shipments of used hospital equipment, recycled medical supplies and recycled clothing for its young patients. "We are very pleased that equipment and supplies which no longer meet Canadian standards can be shared with less fortunate parts of the world," said Nancy Clark, director of material services at LMH. "By working together with the other community organizations, items such as beds, cribs and water bottles our hospital can't use, don't go to waste." Carolyne Neufeld, president of the foundation, explains that her organization is very pleased to receive such donations. "Our goal is to help children in Haiti - one child at a time, and it's very satisfying to know that our B.C. hospital resources can serve such a worthwhile purpose When we've finished with them." In addition to hospital equipment, used clothing collected for the Penny Pinchers' store, run by the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliaries, has also been distributed abroad. So far over 3,000 pounds of clothing which did not sell at the store has been distributed to a number of areas in addition to Haiti. As additional equipment or clothing becomes available, shipments to hospitals in Haiti and other third world countries will continue. JILL-OF-ALL-TRADES Will do any honest work.

But other, more state-of-the-art ultralight aircraft will be allowed to fly in and out of the small World's first trial of new technology RICHMOND - New technology developed in the United States for sterilizing hospital devices and equipment, which promises to be safer for workers, faster, more economical and more environmentally friendly, will undergo its initial trial at The Richmond Hospital. Developed by AbTox Corporation, of Mundelein, niiiy\to_ near Chicago, the Plazlyte Sterilization System uses continuous flow of non toxic, nonflammable gases, through a microwave field, resulting in a safe, biologically active gas which destroys micro-organisms and produces a sterilized product Compared to the traditional ethylene oxide method of sterilization which uses a toxic gas in a relatively hot, "high pressure" process, the new system to be evaluated uses environmentally safe gases in a cool, vacuum process. Distributed in Canada by Ingram & Bell, the Plazlyte system is designed to increase healthcare worker safety by eliminating potential exposure to the toxic gas, ethylene oxide. Because the new system is nontoxic, the lengthy, nine hour aeration and detoxification phase commonly associated with EtO sterilization can be eliminated. The reduced regulation, energy consumption, turnaround time and equipment inventory could all result in a cost savings to the healthcare system. The Greater Vancouver Regional Health District and the British Columbia Ministry of Health have approved this trial in their effort to find a satisfactory method to replace the current use of ethylene oxide.

Harcourt bails out Cull, says Liberal critic RICHMOND - Liberal health critic Linda Reid has slammed the NDP government for taking over 20 months of painful, disruptive negotiation to reach a settlement with B.C. doctors. "The Liberal opposition has long been saying that physicians had to be included in discussions about the restructuring of our health care," said Reid. "Instead, the Harcourt government chose to exclude doctors, which has led to protracted negotiations and to many physicians opting out of the Medical Services Plan." Reid said she is satisfied that many of the suggestions put forward by the Liberal opposition as well as issues raised by the BC Medical Association, have been incorporated into the agreement. "There is now a plan for long term funding of health care, there is a workable dispute resolution mechanism, and the registered, contributory pension plan has been reinstated after having been legislated out of existence by the NDP government." The Liberal critic said the NDP's approach to the doctors' negotiations has been costly and destructive. "Health minister Elizabeth Cull has spent millions of taxpayers' money on ads fighting the doctors - money that could have been put to better use helping patients. On the one hand the government was saying they didn't have any money, but on the other hand, they were freely spending our tax dollars on costly public relations campaigns and settlements for their public sector union friends." Reid concluded it remains to be seen whether the $370-million dollar cost saving the government claims will actually result. "I'm concerned the government is trying to do some creative bookkeeping by hiding some health care costs in the ICBC debt. The (act remains, health care costs will stiil be borne by taxpayers, regardless of which agency- is billed for the service." Canfor notches net income of $34.4 million VANCOUVER - In its interim report to shareholders for the six months ended June 30, Canfor Corporation reported net income of $34.4 million, or $1.17 per common share after provision for preferred dividends. This result represents a substantial improvement from the first half of 1992 when the company experienced a net loss of $20 million, or $0.78 per common share after preferred dividends. Canfor officials said the higher earning reflected strong lumber markets earlier in the year, ongoing operational improvements and a favorable Canadian dollar exchange rate, which outweighed the impact of low pulp prices. Fishermen agree to talk VANCOUVER - Ross Reid, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced that he will support a proposal presented to him by First Nations and non-Native stakeholders in the British Columbia fisheries for a consultative process to address issues of mutual concern. "I am very pleased to announce that Gerald Amos, spokesman for the B.C. Aboriginal Fisheries Commission, Barry McMillan, a director of the Fisheries Council of B.C. and Howard Paish, executive director of the Sport Fishing Institute of B.C., have agreed to establish an effective working relationship between the B.C. Aboriginal Fisheries Commission and non- Aboriginal stakeholders," said Reid. First Nations and other interest groups jointly presented an outline of this consultative process when meeting with Reid last week. The stakeholders will seek consensus on procedural and substantive issues; where agreement is not possible, they will identify whatever common ground that exists. Reid. said that ■ DFO will provide financial support to the initiative, which is to report with initial recommendations by November 15, 1993- Negotiate conflicts, citizens demand VANCOUVER - Residents of British Columbia strongly favor negotiated solutions to fishery conflicts, according to results of a public opinion poll released by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Four out of five respondents supported negotiated agreements with native groups, and consultation with all groups in the fishery, when this approach was presented as one of a number of alternatives for resolving problems among fishery sectors. Negotiation and consultation correspond most closely to the government's existing policy as carried out under the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy. Among other alternatives for settling conflicts: • One half of B.C. residents would be willing to wait for judgments about Native fishing rights on cases that are now before the courts. • Two in five people would support the resolution of fisheries issues as part of Native land claim negotiations. The telephone survey of 782 B.C. residents was conducted by MarkTrend Research Inc..between May 18 and May 23. The survey has a margin of error of +/-3-6 percent, 95 times out of 100. Strong support was expressed for Native participation in a 'number of fishery management activities: ; • Virtually all (95 percent) British Columbians are in favor of Native people being involved in restoring fish habitat, with three quarters strongly supporting this provision. • Nine in 10 B.C. residents agree with native people being involved in hatchery management. • The idea of Native fishery officers working with DFO to manage the fishing activity of Native people is supported by 91 percent. Native-DFO teams managing the commercial sport fishery have 85 percent support. While increasing economic opportunity for Natives is supported, there is substantial opposition to the sale of fish by Native groups if such sales implied an environment threat to the resource or an economic threat to other sectors. The strong concern of British Columbians tor the environment also emerges in their overwhelming view that pollution and loss of fish habitat pose the most seri- ous threats to the province's salmon resource. Moreover, two- thirds of British Columbians believe that stocks are decreasing, whereas total salmon catches in B.C. are now at or above historic high levels, and have increased by more than 40 percent over the past decade.

The BC Medical Association has announced that a proposal for the association to seek certification as a union has been defeated by a vote of 2,258 to 1,272 or 64 percent to 36 percent. "There remains considerable interest in the unionization issue, but not at this time,* said Dr. Arun Garg, BCMA president. But one group of doctors, the ophthalmologists, have applied to the Labour Relations Board to be certified as a union. Failure to reach an agreement with the NDP government over 18 months led the BCMA to investigate the advisability of becoming a union. Real estate animated VANCOUVER - Joe Pearson, of the National Real Estate Service has announced that as part of the NRES' continual support for arts education and cultural awareness in the community, the com* pany has agreed to donate $2,500 to Arts Umbrella, Canada's visual and performing arts institute for young people. National is proud to be able to provide kids from all walks of life in our community with the opportunity to experience the joy of self-expression and pure creativity," says Pearson. "The educational opportunity provided by Arts Umbrella will empower children with the confidence, skills and motivation needed to meet the challenges of the 21st century, as well as promote cross-cultural awareness in our society." 1885 Aldergrove was called a post settlement in Langley and Matsqui municipalities, District of New Westminster, located on the New Westminster and Yale wagon road. gets McLaughlin has qualified for $700,000 pension TORONTO - NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin recently qualified for the fantastic MP pension plan that she wants to reform, her own pension worth an estimated $700,000.00. McLaughlin, who was first elected in a byelection in 1987, marked her sixth anniversary as an MP on July 20, which made her eligible to receive lavish pension benefits as soon as she leaves office. "Here we have the latest example of why we have been calling this outrageous pension plan a gold-plated handshake" said David Somerville, president of the National Citizens' Coalition, a group which has campaigned for reform of the pension plan for more than 15 years. "McLaughlin has only been in office for six years and already she qualifies for a pension which Canadians can only dream about." According to Somerville, if McLaughlin were to retire today she would immediately start receiving about $23,375 a year until she reached the age of 60. At that point, her pension would jump to take into account all the inflation which would have taken place since her retirement. EXPANDED FIXED WAGE Sihota's parting gift to unions VERNON - The expanded fan- wage is a costly parting gift to organized labor from the outgoing labor Minister, Socred labor critic Lyall Hanson said August 20. "Sihota's being bounced out of labor in the upcoming cabinet shuffle, so he's given Ken Georgetti & Go. a parting gift at the taxpayers' expense," Hanson said. "By lowering the threshold on the fixed wage policy and expanding the policy to include roads and bridges, Sihota's trying to buy votes for himself and the NDP from organized labor. It's that simple. "The fair wage policy has been a $200-million annual tax rip-off since its inception. Now the price tag's just gone up by another $50-mulion or more, depending on how much this government decides to borrow when it finally gets around to actually building roads and bridges. "Lower paid women in government should be seething at this government's priorities, which clearly put pay equity way below political payoffs to the party faithful. The last thing we need to be doing is spending more money to boost the wages of unionized construction workers, who are already making twice the average working wage and five times the minimum wage. "While Harcourt's whining about not having enough money to build hospitals, schools and highways,,his labor minister is busy shovelling money off the back of the truck to his buddies in the construction union," said Hanson. AND "NO" TO FREE TRADE Fairall says NDP only party with a jobs plan ALDERGROVE - Lynn Fairall is opening her federal campaign office here with the aim of winning the Fraser Valley West seat for the New Democrats. Fairall placed second to Conservative MP Bob Wenman here in the 1988 election, and believes that she can win over the majority of residents in the townships of Langley and Matsqui when the election is called this fall. "I could win with just one percent more of the vote than I got last time,* said the mature career woman. A resident of Clearbrook, Fairall has long been involved in women's and trade union issues, as well as the board of the Fraser Valley United Way. As a former federal prison guard, she also has some firsthand experience in the controversial justice issue. Currently, she has a private consulting business, advising government and business in employee assistance programs, and is working part-time on her bachelor's degree in criminology. Her two daughters are full-grown and independent. She said the Mulroney govern-: ment has given Canadians "a decade of failure," Chretien's Liberals have no plan for jobs and the economy, and that the Reform party will "slash and burn* the medicare system and push us towards an American style system that only sees the rich get decent health care. "CAudrey) McLaughlin's New Democrats are the only party that has committed itself to a detailed plan to get Canada back to a full- employment economy," asserts Fairall. "And this is what I hear on the doorsteps from ordinary people: they want good jobs. This is their biggest concern, and so it should be. This is the only way we can fight the debt and keep our social programs, if we're all working. "My party's priority is jobs and this is the absolute issue at the door. People have two desires: one, to earn enough to feed, clothe and house themselves, and two, to work in a suitable occupation, because job satisfaction is valued far beyond the dollars." Noting statistics that point to the Fraser Valley as the region in Canada with the highest school dropout rate, the highest incidence of child sexual abuse and provincially, the second highest incidence of spousal abuse, Fair- all suggested, "Desperate times lead to desperate people. We've got to employ more people." She said the NDP strategy would create, "1.5-million jobs in five years, and that's just the first step." She said the private consulting firm, Infometrica Ltd. had examined the 60-page plan's economic and fiscal impacts and found it to be sound. The plan, among other things calls for phasing out the Goods and Services Tax, while the three levels of government each contribute $1.5-billion a year for five years in a national infrastructure program. The latter includes transportation, sewage treatment facilities and a national electronic information network. Daycare spaces would also be doubled over the five years, and multi-billion dollar investments would be made in enterprises, workforce training, research and development and diversification of resource-based communities. Fairall's ten years experience in the* federal* prison system in ' B.C. has given her a unique perspective on justice, which she says the Conservative and Reform parties are making a major election issue. She said her own parents were bilked out of much of their life savings by a conman, so even non-violent crimes leave very hurt victims, who for all intents and purposes feel violated. On the other hand, "What good is incarceration? It's very expensive, and if there's no .education or re-training undertaken, what are we releasing out on the streets after their sentence is completed? We have to work harder to prevent violence, and I'd rather see restitution programs and effective monitoring." Lynn Fairall wants the valley to vote NDP. She said the majority of prisoners she saw "just made a bad decision; thought they wouldn't get caught. For most of us just one hour in a cell would be enough, but there are those who keep going back to prison. They have to learn how to make informed decisions, teach them how to think, and cultivate self- esteem." Still, she acknowledges that there are pathological and Violent criminals for which society has not found the answer, and prison is the only solution. As far as the national debt that seems to be a major election issue, Fairall said her talks with the public reveal that, "People are concerned about the impact personally, and mostly they're worried about medicare and user fees." She said free trade has lowered Canada's social standards in respect to unemployment insurance to the U.S. standard. If U.S. president Bill Clinton delivers on his promise of a national health care system there, that will also have some impact here. She said that it costs $800 less per car to produce at the Windsor General Motors plant, compared to nearby Detroit, strictly because of the difference between the two countries' health care systems. "Administration costs are 35 percent of hospital expenditures in the U.S. Because they have so many insurance programs, they have to put so much effort into confirming that a patient is indeed covered for a procedure. Here it's simpler, there's just one computer tie-in with one system." She adds that federal NDP health critic Jim Karpoff estimates that the recently passed Drug Patent legislation will be "a much bigger threat to medicare. The costs will have a significant impact.*' - •>> I— THE ALDERGROVE STAR.
