Councillors to share space? LANGLEY - Township council may soon move over to the school district administration building for regular public council meetings. Coun. Karen Kersey and trustee Penny Kitson have been assigned to work on the proposed sharing of facilities. The school board meeting room is larger than township's council chambers, and is handicapped accessible. Kersey said they were to meet with superintendent Richard Bul- pitt, Jan. 7, to discuss the matter. White is well-known in immigration circles, pressing for the deportation of several criminals, and trying to close legal loopholes that allow them to stay in Canada and/or drag out their cases for years at taxpayers' expense. Some deportation cases were successful, some were not, and some just got 'screwed up' by an incompetent system. "Immigration boards have to be responsible to the people of this country when they make deci- sions," he said. "Some recent decisions, which allowed dangerous criminals to stay in Canada and reoffend, were obviously wrong. It's ludicrous.'* He added that he is pursuing more deportation cases and, despite progress being made, there is more work to be done. White has spent a lot of time examining the justice system and Corrections Canada, both of which he said need revamping. He said the Liberals' intention do away with Ports Canada Police will have major repercussions on the war against the importing of drugs and the exporting of stolen cars. Hundreds of seizures and drug busts made by Ports Police over the last few years are just the tip of the iceberg. "I went out on a shift with Ports Police, so I could get a better understanding of their importance in fighting crime in this country," White said. "They play a vital role, and the plans of the Liberal Government are wrong." White is also looking at Corrections Canada, trying to find ways to improve its efficiency. He has vocally opposed 'Project Bleach,' the extravagant meals served to inmates, and Section 745 (the faint hope clause that allows serious offenders to apply for early parole after serving two thirds of a sentence). He also predicted the riot at the women's prison in Ontario. Please see page 6... FREE CLASSIFIEDS FOR STAR SUBSCRIBERS — INFORMATION INSIDE Locals finally get garbage taken out By MONIQUE GALAZKA ALDERGROVE - Residents here finally got their Christmas wish, about two weeks late, when township garbage collection crews arrived on January 7 to collect the trash that has been smelling and clogging up driveways since December 17. Neil Calver, of the Township engineering department said that because of poor road conditions and impending holidays, crews were not sent out on Tuesday, December 24 or 31. He added that several recycling trucks that attempted to go out, got stuck in the snow. Trucks were sent out as scheduled, on Tuesday, January 7, the first day back to routine because collection does not take place on Mondays. Local resident Guy York said he was told by the Township two weeks ago that garbage collection crews were behind in all areas, and could not sacrifice time catching up with collections in Aldergrove, and get behind in other areas like Walnut Grove. "I understand snow and holi days, but they could have come on one of the other days," he said. "They also said they wouldn't hire extra people and trucks to clear away the three weeks worth of garbage. It's just one more way for the Township to leave Aldergrove in a stink." Calver said he was unaware of this type of comment having been made, and said crews are trying their best to catch up in all areas. "In retrospect, it was a good decision not to send out trucks on December 24 and 31, because of poor road conditions. "We hope to do the bulk of collections today (Tuesday, January 7) and if necessary finish up on Wednesday." Meanwhile residents, who phoned the Township last week, were told they could put out up to six bags, because of the delay in collections. However, the information was not publicized and residents, who did not phone, either kept some of their garbage for the next collection, or wasted their extra bag stickers, which have to be purchased from the Township. Town hit by rash of B&Es ALDERGROVE - Police are investigating four break and enter thefts that occurred late Saturday, January 4. Police believe the incidents are related, but have no suspects at this time. Thieves broke into the fenced compound at Asplundh Equipment on 3 IB Avenue, where they stole two trucks. One was recovered abandoned after a break and enter at Jonkman Equipment on Fraser Highway, in which a blower was stolen. The other truck, a white Ford 150 Crew Cab with a white canopy and B.C license 6029 RE, is still missing. The truck also contained tools in the back. The thieves went on to Aldergrove Equipment on 262 Street, where they broke the glass on the front door and stole a roll-away tool box with wrenches and air tools valued at about $4500. Not finished yet, the thieves went on to Gloucester, where they used a rock to smash the front door of Hardwoods Ltd. and stole two computers and a printer. RCMP Staff Sergeant Rick Lawrence is asking anyone with information about these robberies to call Langley RCMP at 532- 3200 of Crime Stoppers at 669- TIPS(8477). Sewer plant cited again ALDERGROVE - Township council has received notice that the Aldergrove sewer treatment plant failed environmental tests for the fourth time in recent years. The 30 year old plant is to be closed this year, and sewage is to be treated at the Abbotsford JAMES plant, operated by the Fraser Valley Regional District A forcemain from this town to connect to the Abbotsford system is currently under construction, at a cost of more than $l-million. The Environment Ministry's non-compliance report said that between April and September of last year, the facility "exceeded permit levels for biochemical oxygen demand 22 of 26 samples, based on permitee data." In an accompanying letter, deputy minister John Allan said, "Compliance with waste management leg islation is mandatory and must be given the most urgent priority." The report also noted that, "(The Township) plans to clean out the forcemain connecting the treatment plant to the Fraser River outfall by end February 1997. In addition, the permittee plans to abandon the Aldergrove lagoon treatment plant which will be connected to another sewer system by the end of February 1997; funding for sewer connection has been approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs." "We look forward to connecting to JAMES," said mayor John Scholtens. Administrator Mark Bakken said the connection could be made "as early as March." Coun. Mel Kositsky added that report was months old, as Victoria had taken "months to compile" the report. PUBLICATIONS MAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER 1270 Postage Prepaid, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3R9 NEWS?

Charity dollars from Kin ALDERGROVE - Kinsmen here delivered $13,800 in donations to local charities at their December meeting, and hope to have a repeat performance within the next few weeks. The service club raises funds with their gaming licence at the Abbotsford bingo hall, and have funded a number of major projects and good works here over the years. The donations are as follows: Jim and Gaye McKissock accepted $1,000 on behalf of the Aldergrove Food Bank; Bruce Strongitharm accepted $1,000 on behalf of the Aldergrove Community Centre Society; Leslie Geddes accepted $2,000 on behalf of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services; Gerry McGrath accepted Illegal suite irks businessman MURRAYVILLE - A man with an illegal sign blasted a councillor with an illegal suite, Monday evening. Karl Fischer, whose IRGO Golf sign in Aldergrove was installed without a permit, got up as a delegate at council meeting to question whether coun. Heather McMullan had a permit for the non-conforming suite above the garage at her Brookswood home. "It's not zoned multi-family, it's an illegal suite on your property," Fischer told McMullan. Several people in the audience blew raspberries at Fischer. 'Ten thousand people in the township have illegal suites," groaned one man. Fischer went on: "If the six councillors cannot abide by the bylaws, how can anyone else be expected to?" Council pointed out to Fischer that delegation time is not open to questions and answers, so no reply was forthcoming to the "rhetorical" question. However, in response to McMullan's question, Fischer gave his south Langley residential address. Two years ago, the township took Fischer to Supreme Court on the issue of his non-permitted and non-conforming sign, and the judgment awarded the township costs on the issue of lack of permit. The judge also ordered the two parties to settle the matter of conforming to bylaws, so that a permit could be issued, but this has not transpired yet During the trial, Fischer acquired a copy of council's in- camera minutes,- which show that couns. McMullan and Mel Kositsky initiated the motion to take Fischer to court for his non-conforming sign. $ 1,000 on behalf of Langley Hospice Society; Barb Scott accepted $2,000 on behalf of Langley Big Brothers and Sisters; Tracey Harder, Debbie Enns and Lisa Garossino accepted $300 on behalf of Shortreed School Parents Advisory Council; Carl Lamb accepted $2,500 on behalf of Jackman Manor; Dave Jones and Andre Holley accepted $4,000 on behalf of Crime Prevention Society, to be divided between Crime Stoppers, Langley Victim Services, Aldergrove Community Policing and Block Watch. LANGLEY - Township councillor Karen Kersey filed a flurry of notices of motions at Monday's meeting. Remarking on recent "dangerous conditions" because of heavy snows, she suggested a central phone number or "hall hotline" for the public to report such things as bad road conditions, potholes, broken lamps or signs and vandalism. "I'd also like to see a local hero hotline, so people can report random acts of kindness, and these people could be recognized at special events such as Canada Day or Douglas Day ceremonies." Kersey said that council agenda packages are already on computers, and this material could be put on-line for the public to access .on the internet, and at libraries or mall kiosks. Noting the popularity of skateboarding, she suggested that prototype designs could be developed and "appropriate designs could be . incorporated in playgrounds." She also called for the "fast- tracking" of funding to resolve the bottleneck traffic problems at the 200 Street overpass area. She added that senior governments should be lobbied "to resolve Highway 1 problems." Coun. Muriel Arnason noted that D.W. Poppy Secondary's vocal group, PoppyVox was still' short $5,000 for tins week's trip to a competition in New York City. Kersey suggested grant support "We should look at this, and take joy and pride in our youth." At the suggestion of mayor John Scholtens, council approved compilation of an inventory of private equipment that the township could draw on for emergencies such as snow clearing. The township did call upon private contractors during the last snowfall, but Scholtens pointed out that public works is not aware of all equipment owners. "I found out. that a local company has two graders we could have called on, and I'm sure there's others." Council praised staff for the "gallant" effort at clearing record snowfalls from roads. It's also been a record year for snow removal costs, pegged at about half a million dollars this past fiscal year. financing on New 1996 , Vehicles < *$fc _s£fc *& _st* -*$fc -&fc *£fc •*_-** *$* *£* *$* *£* w* Sw 5_S w* wS Sir «w wS *rr *xr «r *w amm *y* *w* mw^ ^T*' mw* eyv 1* War* ^T* *T* ^* START 1997 WITH THE financing - on New 1996 Vehicles *& _st* *$* -st* _t* |p -stfc _st* wgf at* *t* _st* '97 FORD EXPEDITION '97 FORD EXPLORER '97 FORD F150 XLT, 4X4 Loaded! fa 4X4 Reg.

JANUARY 8.1997 Flood protection measures taken Matthew Keith struts his stuff on GM Place's ice as guest of Canucks. Skating with the heroes ALDERGROVE - A young boy got to skate with his heroes, thanks to his skill and the luck of the draw. Matthew Keith is a 13 year old grade 8 student at Aldergrove Community Secondary. He's also centre for the Peewee AA Bruins, and has been playing with the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association since the age of six, when he started with the tyke level. He was selected by his coach, Mike Toth, for the honour of participating in the Dec. 21 clinic hosted by the Vancouver Canucks. The team was one of 14 picked in a random draw for the privilege, and the coach got to choose which player went. Keith said his three hours of hockey heaven began when he got dressed in GM Place, where he sat next to Pavel Bure and Alexander , Mogilny. "They talked about family stuff, like getting the Christmas tree up and what they bought Citizens band together in group LANGLEY - A group of people who met Saturday morning have issued a press release announcing the formation of the Langley Citizens Coalition. They have also called for a public rally at the Civic Centre on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. Spokesman Brock Vanderbyl said the group "represented a cross-section of people from the township, including civic employees, previous council members and mayors, ratepayer representatives, local community groups, fired members of Langley volunteer committees, parent advisory council representatives and concerned citizens of every political stripe." Vanderbyl added that, "The formation of the group came as a result of the purging of senior township staff, the patronage appointment of Mark Bakken as administrator, the firing of most of the volunteer committees and the undemocratic approach to government by mayor John Scholtens and the Langley Leadership Team." He said that the 60 people present also struck several committees, and quoted one person as remarking that, "Our purpose is to focus on accountability, not opposition — on what is right, not who is right" for their families," said Keith. Best of all, said Keith, was that his hero, Trevor Linden coached his team, the Whites. "Our birthdays are the same, April 11," said a smiling Keith. BCTV sports- caster John McKeachie coached the opposing Blacks. Three events were part of the clinic, and Keith said Linden gave him personal pointers about his style that he will remember. "He told me I was going into the corners too hard, that I needed to start into it slower and pick up speed." It was all over far too soon, but Keith said he'll never forget the thrill and pleasure. LANGLEY - A major upgrade of die Salmon River pump station and flood boxes passed another hurdle on Monday, as council approved pursuit of local improvement funding from both Belmont Golf Course and affected Fort Langley area farmers for the $1.8-million project Belmont will contribute $374,000, while the farmers would add another $186,000. The lion's share, $1,050,000, would come from township capital reserves. The federal department of fisheries has promised $100,000, and another $90,000 is hoped for, from the provincial agriculture ministry's partners program. This latter program is currendy under review by Victoria, and there is no certainty of approval. Councillors blasted the senior levels of government for giving lip service to the environment, while they consistently rejected applications from the township for financial aid for this project The 50 year old municipal pumps in the floodplain have long been the bane of environmentalists, as they chew up tens of thousands of young salmon beaded for the ocean each year. In response to community lobbying, township engineer Pat Anderson completed design of work to upgrade the pumps and improve flood protection last year. However, the township has been frustrated in finding the funds for the mega-project to go ahead. Under the new proposal, $200,000 will be taken from capital reserves, $400,000 from drainage DCC reserves, and $450,000 from landfill reserves. Coun. Karen Kersey said her enquiries to fisheries spokesman Matt Foy revealed that the pumps chew up an average of 65,000 fiSh ALDERGROVE COMMUNITY CENTRE SOCIETY ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING JANUARY 16, 1997 - 7:00 pm ALDERGROVE ARENA MEETING ROOM Public Welcome 1 WEEK At Aldergrove's new family oriented fitness facility// Come join the fun!!

"However, any fish kill is too much. But I need to know just what kind of contract we will have, so that everyone is compelled to pay their share. I don't want to find the township holding the bag (if a party reneges)." Coun. Muriel Arnason said the local improvement loans would be added onto property tax bills for the set terms of the contracts, with no jeopardy to the township. "I'm glad we got the $100,000 from the feds, at least There's a lot of fish killed. If everyone chips in it will be a success." "The federal government should give us $1-million," countered coun. Mel Kositsky, "Just as a token to placate Langley." He added that another letter-should be sent to B.C.'s new agriculture minister, Corky Evans, appealing for a major contribution to the project. "The federal and provincial governments always talk," said mayor John Scholtens dryly. "I support this project., those pumps are fish munchers." The Salmon River is the most significant fish-bearing stream in the township, and extends from its source in Aldergrove to its mouth in Derby Reach at the Fraser River. Swim pool still on the board WALNUT GROVE - Mayor John Scholtens said this week that he campaigned on a promise to build a swimming pool in northwest Langley, and he intends to deliver. Coun. Muriel Arnason brought the matter up at Monday's meeting, when she noted that two private proposals shortlisted for the project are currently being studied at the township but they "sound very iffy." At this, Scholtens said the township was "not going to be a guineapig for something that's never been done before in this country. We will go ahead as promised and not have another fiasco like the (northwest) ice rinks." Coun. Mel Kositsky said he was "surprised that a free-enterpriser (Scholtens) would deny the private sector a chance to build this. Let's not prejudge; it's a fabulous exercise at no cost to the taxpayer." Scholtens replied that "we just had an election, and my position is the same. This is what I ran on. We will fund the project, and the private sector will bid and build it, and maybe run it" I LIVE IN ALDERGROVE I SELL IN ALDERGROVE CALL THE ALDERGROVE SPECIALIST DAN FLOKSTRA WMM Aldercenter Realty 27015 Fraser Highway 857-1100 Dan's Direct Line 857-0500 join now and get MHM_^ ■■■■■■ rRcc REGISTRATION Pay only the low $12 weekly fee. ^j^eaturmg WeighffjtetcJiers New FREEDOlVfPLAM CALL NOW! 1-800-682-8011 Weight Watchers ELKS HALL 273 STREET AND FRASER HIGHWAY ALDERGROVE WEDNESDAY 7:00 PM Offer valid for a limited time only.

JANUARY 8,1997 Star Comment LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Officer just wasn't being very polite Editor, The Star, Sir, The saga of one of our policemen comes to mind when he, serious as he was in the performance of his duty, shot a car thief in his glutus maximus. It brings to mind another interesting case, when a judge was heard saying "when a woman says no, sometimes it means maybe". It is an imaginative use of English language, don't you think so? Perhaps this policeman was not polite enough when he shouted 'stop!", maybe he forgot to say "please". Now the thief s defense might be that the command could have been interpreted as "stop - maybe", and the poor soul was not versed in The New English, so he is only guilty of being uneducated. The policeman, on the other hand, is guilty of impoliteness. However, his marksmanship was impeccable and he remains a model in accurate use of firearms. My diligent research uncovered a common denominator in the behaviour of hard and semi- soft criminals. I am referring to this peculiar lack of recognition that they are guilty of a criminal act when they steal a car, money, injure someone or commit murder. It appears that they do not know the difference. It makes one wonder how they became so ignorant It appears that in our times our youngsters' source of information regarding what is ethical and legal comes from tbe only two sources: a) one's family, and b) various denominations of priests and ministers - the honest minority of those. When these sources of instruction fail, the resulting products is a form of Homo Bestialis that is somewhat similar to a baboon in his behaviour. Seriously, how about teaching the Civil and Criminal code in the schools? Surely, if the schools have enough resources to teach kids how to punch computer keyboards in vain attempt to make them mellow enough to suck up to some supercilious employer in hope of getting some nonexistent jobs, surely such schools would have sufficient resources to teach basic law and reduce the crime rate. How can we, in all honesty, expect young adults to understand ■ the laws of our society if we never teach them these laws? RICHARD GEBERT, Abbotsford It's a thankless job Editor, The Star, Sir, I do not understand why a man, who has contributed so much to our community, has had his position terminated. Warren Sommer has, over the past seventeen years, made many valuable contributions for the betterment of our Township. He turned the Langley Centennial Museum from a mish-mash of collectibles into a gem that portrays our history from the First Nations, through the fur trade and up to the Pioneer settlers. All this on a minimum budget and a great deal of hard work. He was also responsible for, and encouraged the development of the school program, which is led by volunteers. This has grown to accommodate 10,000 students in 1995. The volunteers have increased from 10 to the present 125 - all involved in the program or as assistants in other ways. This very successful program also contributes financially to the museum's operation. Mr. Sommer was also involved in acquiring a permanent art collection of historical value for the Township. As manager of Northwest Langley, he has overseen and given input into the Walnut Grove Recreational Centre, which is unquestionably well used by the citizens of that area. Warren Sommer is a person dedicated to improving the quality of life for all of our citizens. Why was it necessary to proceed in such haste to rid our community of persons (several of whom have been formally recognised at the Provincial and Federal levels), who have been dedicated and fiscally responsible, leaving us with a balanced budget and a healthy reserve fund? rosette Mcdonald, Langley RUDY LANGMANN, President & Publisher INGE LANGMANN, Advertising Manager KURT LANGMANN, Editor JANET BLAIR, Office Manager The Aldergrove Star, founded In 1957, is an independent community newspaper Central Fraser valley Star Publishing Ltd is 100% owned by the Langmann family of Aldergrove, B.C., Canada. -Or 3089 - 272nd Street, Aldergrove, B.C.

Editor, The Star, Sir, Randy White is always quick to accuse somebody else of ripping off the taxpayers, yet his response to my request for information about his air travel at taxpayers' expense is curious to say the least I have talked to him and written to him on this matter, and now he seems to be taking the position that it is really not the taxpayers' business how he spends their money. I would like to remind him it is the duty of taxpayers to monitor the behavior of our elected MPs. We will soon be expected to pass judgment in a federal election. In his response to me so far, Mr. White has tried to make this a discussion of criminals, but I am tired of that game and want some answers on his air travel. How often did he fly first/business class compared to how often he flew economy or tourist class? How many times-since he was elected did the taxpayers send him to "investigate" matters in Nova Scotia, where he has a vacation home? Why are Mr. White's travel expenses gong through the roof? According to the comptrollers office, in *94/'95 he spent an unbelievable $67,700 of taxpayers cash and then followed it up with an outrageous $84,826 in the past year. At an all candidates meeting during the 1993 election, Mr. White lambasted MPs for sitting with the fat cats at the front of the plane and sipping champagne, while the real people, the taxpayers, sat behind trying to save money. We are now shocked to find out that he usually flies first or business class, and we want the exact numbers. We're not asking about pensions or criminals, we want straight answers on the massive waste of taxpayers' money on Mr. White's travel. Mr. White loves to point the finger in self righteous indignation about somebody else of ripping off the taxpayers. It is time he came clean on his own rip-offs and bis campaign promises of being a watch dog on MPs' perks and waste. WALLY MARTIN, Langley Editor, The Star, Sir, Almost two years ago, the federal Liberals decided to close British Columbia's only Land Forces Base, CFB Chilliwack. This decision was made despite the protests of senior military advisors, who described the closure as both economically unwise and an unacceptable military risk. Serious questions about the necessary role of the military in Emergency Preparedness were simply ignored. Dozens of letters were responded to with a trite "don't worry, be happy". Questions put to the Minister in the House of Commons were chalked up to regional whining, and the Minister argued that aid to the civil powers could be delivered from Edmonton in a matter of hours when requested. Our first real test of this promise happened during the recent severe winter storm. We all know what happened. Requests for military assistance were left unanswered because the Lower Mainland was cut off from the rest of Canada. Heroic responses from our civilian work crews, the open doors and generous spirit of the businesses and residents in the Fraser Valley and elsewhere, and He's just smoking Editor, The Star, Sir, What td make of it? On Dec. 31,1 and a guest went to Old Style Seafood Restaurant for lunch. The proprietor took our order. The smoking area was full except for a small corner table. No one was in non-smoking. He opened the nonsmoking. I told him I smoked, and should someone come in, I'd go into the smoking area. He said no, because the people in the smoking area were non-smokers. I said, "You mean, I can't smoke in non-smoking, the only one in that area, but I can't smoke in smoking either, because you have non-smokers in that area?" He said Yes, the non-smokers were in the smoking area, and I could not smoke, or maybe I'd like to go elsewhere, that it's been a bad three days and had just opened today. No kidding. We sat down in non-smoking and my guest (a non-smoker) said, "No, we'll go elsewhere" and we left So, what is the problem here? Not the snow, surely? I don't know what to make of it G.M. HANSEN, Aldergrove Receiving verbal 'finger' Editor, The Star, Sir, Re: Request for plowing of 26 Ave., December 27,1996 at 9 am. As a long-time resident of Langley Township, I must say I certainly take major exception to the very high-handed attitude of some of the so-called Public Relations people. I, as many other residents of the eastern section of Langley Township, ask for very little of the Township and really do not expect much more. But, after being hit by major snow storms and blowing conditions, creating a situation close to a state of major concern, one does not really expect to receive the verbal "finger salute" when making a request to plow out a feeder road to a new subdivision at least once. Politicians, top management and their subordinates should take that under serious advisement I feel my complaint is completely legitimate, as I am a member of Mainroad Contracting who services the New Westminster district, so I do understand your situation. Just as we as private contractors have a responsibility to the travelling public, so do you to those of us who have to be out to carry out our given responsibilities. HARVEY D. SCHULTZ, Aldergrove the emergency preparations already in place, all prevented a very difficult situation from becoming a disaster. The few military personnel, who just happened to be in the area (ironically, training on CFB facilities), also contributed in a significant way, providing much needed transportation and equipment. Their assistance could well have made the difference, for many people in need of food and shelter, between discomfort and disaster. Surely the wake-up bell has sounded loudly for British Columbians. Doug Young's response that "you don't make plans based on an unusually severe snow fall" ought to raise the hackles of everyone who listened to his arrogance. Canada's third largest province and fastest growing region has been left without a Land Forces Base, and while this emergency was triggered by a severe storm, the next one may be a flood, a landslide or an earthquake - and the military simply will not be there to lend help and assistance. You wonder what it will take for this government to realize that there are two mountain ranges and 900 kilometers between Edmonton and the population base of the Lower Mainland, and during an emergency (we're sorry, Mr. Young, that we can't schedule these things more conveniently), it will often be impossible to get to the problem area. The decision to close die base in British Columbia was purely a political one. The federal Liberals seem content to ignore my continued (and continuous) requests that they allow the military to maintain some sort of significant Land Forces Presence in British Columbia. The Provincial government has now joined the refrain. The ' Mayors and Regional District representatives have been adamant that the feds should not ignore us. So far, the Liberals see no reason to listen to anyone. There is still a possibility that this closure can be reversed, at least in part. While CFB Chilliwack will never be restored to its former strength, the facilities and training areas remain intact. In November, I wrote to the Minister and asked him to consider placing the Western Canadian Militia Training Centre in Chilliwack, thereby keeping the all-important "military footprint" in B.C. The 700 personnel and their equipment would certainly go a long way towards fulfilling me federal government's statutory obligation of providing aid to civil authorities. I try to be realistic when dealing with the political situation in Ottawa. A few Reform MPs acting in isolation won't change the world. But if enough voters start writing and faxing the Minister - as well as the Liberal Members of Parliament - warning them that there will be a political price to pay for treating B.C. as a second class province, then we could yet see some positive results.

Somehow I didn't mind being shut in for a few days. I had the chance to read, play cribbage and scrabble and to celebrate New Years Eve with an old fashioned game of croquinole with good friends. I'm thinking back to a mile and a half walk to a country school on the prairie in sub zero weather, lighting the fire to keep thirty children happy, while diey ate frozen sandwiches. This blizzard didn't seem half bad. Many of the activities were cancelled due to inclement weather conditions. I don't remember the New Years Eve dance in the hall ever being called off in the eighteen years I've lived here. It truly was a joint effort ABBOTSFORD - Now that the snow is gone and stranded travellers have made it home, the Ci ty of Abbotsford would like to extend its deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks to everyone who pitched in to help. .Thanks go out to the people of Sumas Prairie who rescued, sheltered and fed hundreds of strangers. The records are believed to be held by the Tolsma family who had 89 guests, and the Coers family who had 50. But there were other places of refuge offered all around the prairie where so many were stuck in snow. Additional residents brought their own snow clearing equipment and worked for hours. Also providing food and shelter were volunteers from Emergency Social Services, who set up a centre in Central Heights Church where 300 people took refuge. The city calls it a remarkable job by remarkable people. Thanks also go out to local fire, police, public works crews, and the search and rescue crews from the Central Fraser Valley, Surrey and the North Shore, for their determination and courage in checking vehicles and bringing people to safety. This emergency brought together individuals from all levels of government, the armed forces, school district, local churches, private companies and service organizations. It was an event that showed how well individuals can pull together in an emergency. To everyone, who put aside personal safety and comfort cares and came to the aid of those in need, the City of Abbotsford is proud and deeply grateful. It'll cost you ... RICHMOND - Photo radar is being used in selected school zones this week and next, and drivers clocked at 41 kph in the 30 kph zones will receive $125 tickets in the mail. Posted school zones are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days. Among the 75 sites chosen are three elementary schools in Abbotsford: Dunach, Bakerview and Matsqui. Even die general monthly meeting of the OAPO was cancelled, but it will be held diis Friday, Jan. 10 at 1:30 pm. Hopefully the new officers will be sworn in at this time. Bridge was held last week, but my scout thinking I was still on strike, didn't record the results. Next week we'll all be back to normal. Can't tip you off on any good books, since I didn't get any for Christmas, but previous to that I received a book "Fields of Vision", a journey to Canada's Family Farms by Phil Jenkins. Steel Magnolia is the production playing at the White Rock Litde Theatre from Jan. 29 to Feb. 15. Carpet bowling resumes Thursday, Jan. 9 at 1:30 pm at the OAP hall. Come and join us, it's not too strenuous, and we have a bit of fun and socialize over a cup of coffee. The Brits take tea. Some good stories and news can be enjoyed. The only dance held since Christmas was last Saturday, Jan. 4. I think everyone was glad to get out and wish their dancing friends season's greetings. Some, who had been away for the holidays and had trouble getting back, expressed their feelings about finally making it home. Marguerite sent her good wishes from Yuma. Mr. & Mrs. Dione, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, were congratulated during the dance. A visitor Mabel Henning, was at the dance, she comes from Saskatchewan. The Spot dances went to Catherine and Vera, and Myrtle and Claude. 50-50 winners were Doreen Deb- nah, Barbara Lane, Violet, Ab, and Vera Nash. Door prizes were won by Harold Armstrong and Helen Souther. -. Now that the tinsel and icicles are all put away to rest for another year, I'd like to wish all OAPO members a Happy New Year and good health in 1997. Here's some good advice for seniors: "Growing old is like making a pudding. You get lumps if you don't stir". Life is I a team sport Become a Big Brother The Aldergrove area is in urgent need of Big Brothers. A Big Brother spends a few hours each week offering friendship to a boy from a lone-parent family.

"I went on a tour through there, and I told them they would have a major problem if they didn't segregate minimum and maximum prisoners, in proper areas and proper cells," he said. Three months later they had a riot "Project Bleach has backfired. It is a contradiction unto itself, and the effect is the opposite of what was expected. Inmates now think that because they have clean needles, it's safe to be injecting drugs. "The people of this community, and the rest of the country, want full repeal of Section 745 now, because sometime this year Clifford Olson could be let back into this community where he killed 11 young people, and we can't do anything about it White has toured prisons across this country, in the U.S. and overseas, looking at alternatives to the system being used here. One of them is electronic monitoring. "I think it could be just as effective at the Federal level as it is at the Provincial level where it is currently being used, and I would like to see the program expanded." Our MP has also taken local issues all the way to Ottawa. Recendy be stood in the House of Commons to discuss the sentence, or lack thereof, for Darren Ursel. The decision not to give him jail time, despite the 1995 brutal rape of a woman in the parking lot of the Alder Inn, was an insult to Aldergrove residents. "(Justice) Harry Boyle really has a pathetic understanding of justice," White said. "I have stood in the House several times to talk about this issue, but to no avail." White is happy, that again in 1996, the people of Aldergrove, Langley and Abbotsford are responding to his message and making themselves heard in Ottawa. "I am extremely proud of this community for choosing to be heard in Ottawa," he said. 'There have been a lot of crummy decisions made, especially regarding immigration and justice, and we can no longer sit back and let it go on." White is continuing work on the Victims' Bill of Rights. Over 2,000 people packed the Ag Rec Centre on February 29, to hear first hand the voices of victims, and about their courageous efforts to influence a government and system that fails to recognise their rights. As for what White plans to do next, he said there is an election coming up, which brings a chance for national debate on a number of high profile issues often ignored at other times. One of them is the GST. White was asked to leave the House in April, after refusing to apologize for calling Prime Minister Jean Chretien a liar for saying the Liberals will abolish the GST. White also plans to continue giving his constituents a national profile. "I want the country to know that the West has a voice, despite Central Canada having too much influence on the rest of the country. "I will also be asking the Federal Government what they are doing for B.C. and about MP pensions: Why are their pensions are so huge, when the average Canadian is being asked to pay more premiums for less than meagre pensions? "They keep taking more and giving less to the people who are the backbone of this country. How much more can the average person take?"

Not all win-win situation THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JANUARY 8,1997 By KURT LANGMANN Vancouver's so provincial it's pathetic. Where else would people spend upwards of $2,000 to see three dots on a stage, and then complain afterwards that they were disappointed? Did they expect the Three Tenures to pop corks with the plebes who forked over $13-million in this broad- daylight mugging? Would bubbly have made it feel better? On one side we had people loudly defending it as a cultural landmark for this burgeoning metropolis, and the other side had detractors who revelled in taking cheap shots at an easy target. I suppose that's what's called a win-win, but most of us just ignored it. Blissfully. Another big laugh was the preoccupation with last month's grist for the mill, namely The Sun's headline about Howe Street being "stunned" about Frank Guistra's resignation from Yorkton Securities before he reached age 40. Longtime Aldergrove residents remember Frank as a bright and ambitious kid, who went into shoe sales after graduation from the local high school. One of his customers liked his style and attitude, and offered him a job dealing investments, and the rest, as they say, is history. Frank's earned his early retirement — that kind of work is demanding, and once you've made millions, what's the point? But don't be surprised if that's not his last hurrah. Quitting is not in his vocabulary. What's Black all over? Canadian newspaper publishing, and especially here in B.C. with the news that David Black is the newest owner of Trinity International Holdings a.k.a. Hacker Press, formerly owned by Liverpool Post & Echo of the U.K. The Vancouver Island media magnate is no relation to Conrad Black, whose Hollinger media conglomerate happens to be the majority shareholder of the Vancouver Sun and Province a.k.a. Pacific Press, as well as a string of lower mainland papers operating under the Van Net umbrella. David Black, who already owned Island Publishers and Cariboo Press, added Trinity's 17 papers and presses last week for a reported purchase price of $58- million. In 1995, Trinity generated $6.1-million in pre-tax profit on net assets of $30.4-million. David Black said the acquisition doubled the size of Black Press Ltd., which now owns 80 papers, 10 press plants and has 1,500 employees. Twenty years ago, most lower mainland papers were independently owned, and many sent their negatives to Hacker Press in Abbotsford for the actual press- work. Cliff and Cec Hacker's flagship papers, the Abbotsford News and Chilliwack Progress were soon augmented by the acquisition of several other papers, and a new press plant was built on Cyril Street to handle the growing trade. Liverpool Post & Echo, which already owned the Red Deer Advocate, purchased majority interest in the chain from the Hacker brothers, and continued the buying spree, which included overtures to the last of the holdouts, the Langley Advance and Aldergrove Star. The Star's publishers weren't interested in selling, but continue to this day to have the presswork performed by Hacker Press. Few papers can justify having their own presses these days. As well as printing The Star, Hacker Press prints all the local Trinity papers and a myriad of smaller publications. Pacific Press prints both The Sun and Province at their press in Surrey. The Advance ceased printing at Hacker when Trinity purchased the Langley Times in 1986, after lengthy negotiations with former Advance publisher Jim Schatz failed to arrive at a sale price. Trinity's goal was a chain of newspapers from Hope to Bowen Island, and Langley was the missing part of the chain. Unofficial reports say Trinity invested more than a million dollars in The Times, but The Advance held on, FIRST AID TIPS!

EDUCATIONAL SERVICES and since its purchase by Marilyn Bos wick a couple years ago, has rebounded somewhat in the Langley market During this time, the Sun and Province daily market was shrinking, and their publishers saw a bright future in a growing community newspaper market. They acquired the North Shore News, and financing was provided for establishment and growth of papers such as Surrey Now, Abbotsford Now and Chilliwack Now, which have since been consolidated as the Van Net chain. The Advance has since become affiliated with Van Net, too. Over the years. Trinity's owners felt constrained by federal regulations about foreign ownership, while Conrad Black and Southam have been under investigation by federal anti-combines bureaucrats, particularly regarding the lucrative North Shore News operation. Since the latter paper has no competition to speak of, the feds had ordered Conrad Black and Southam to divest themselves of the thrice-weekly paper, but conveniently, David Black announced plans to start a competing paper in the North Shore last fall. It really is a small, cozy world, after all. Bigger than a bread box Man knows that the world was not made on a human scale; and he wishes that it were. -Andre Malraux Skaters picked for top games ALDERGROVE - After a successful meet in Aldergrove on November 30, twenty skaters were selected to represent Zone 3 for the upcoming 1997 B.C.

She was born in Northern Ireland on March 14, 1920. She was one in a family of 15, nine girls and 6 boys. She leaves to mourn her passing two sisters Angela and' Nora, and two brothers Hughie and Dermoth, a of Northern Ireland. Deeply mourning her passing are a son and daughter, namely Brian and daughter-in-law Donna of Abbotsford, Jennifer Morrison and son-in-law Angus Morrison of Langley, B.C., and grandchildren Kelly and Lisa Morrison, Suzanne McKay and Brian Kingman Jr. Also deeply mourning her is Frank Krenn, who has been at her side in good times and in bad in happiness and in sorrow, for 40 years.

For this I am forever grateful. Thank you, Patricia.

Mennonites collect for Korea ABBOTSFORD - The Mennonite Central Committee is contributing $30,000 for emergency relief in North Korea. The money is being" "matched" by the BC government's Council for International Co-operation Global Development Fund with $15,000. A series of natural disasters has left the people of North Korea facing severe food shortages. Floods in 1995 and 1996 left the country's prime farmland devastated. Lack of fuel, fertilizer and other inputs have made the little farming that can be done difficult at best. In an unprecedented move, the government of North Korea made an appeal to the international community for food aid. Together with their American Friends Service Committee, MCC purchased rice in December to be shipped to North Korea. Rural families in the counties of North Hwanghae Province were most affected by flooding and were recipients of the shipment AFSC is organizing food for work projects that are designed to give local laborers and their families needed food and giving them the physical energy required for pro- ject work. The projects will include rehabilitating flooded fields by clearing debris and replacing lost top soil, rebuilding irrigation channels, small dams and farm roads. Future food shipments will be target to arrive from March to October 1997. North Korea should be able to sustain itself through the winter, but the population is weak, and low food rations are likely to cause further decline. The situation is predicted to be desperate.

CONTINUING EDUCATION €M-mw4i^ - ^WM^hMd- — Atoms lose in overtime THE ALDERGROVE STAR, JANUARY 8.1997 ALDERGROVE - In Atom Rep hockey action over Christmas, the Valley Gravel Bruins were participating in the prestigious Langley Eagles Tournament The team went undefeated to the A division tournament final to play the Burnaby Winter Gub. In a thrilling game the game went to the second overtime period with no goalies, and you must score inside the blue line. Unfortunately B.W.C. got the goal to win die A final 4-3. Game #7 vs Coquitlam: The Al Bruins opened up the Tournament against Coquitlam, the Bruins played very well and came away with a 7-3 victory. Came #2 vs Portland: Thomas Dickinson started in goal for the Bruins, the team did not know what to expect and came out working hard. The Bruins led 1-0 after one period, and 3-0 after two periods, and the final was 6-0 Bruins. Game #3 vs Abby A3: This game was to go to the A division semi final, and the Bruins were smoking. Gregg Moffatt started in goal for the Bruins and played great The Bruins led 3-1 after one period, 6-1 after two periods, and the final score was 9-1 Bruins. Game #4 vs Port Moody: This game was against one of die few teams to beat the Bruins this year, and the team was looking for revenge. The third period was great action, and the Bruins hung on for a 2-0 victory. Thomas Dickinson picked up his second shut out of the Tournament. The A final vs the Burnaby Winter Club: The Bruins were pumped and ready to go, Gregg Moffatt was between the pipes, the Bruins scored two goals in the first period to go up 2-0 after one. B.W.C. fought back to score three unanswered goals in the second period to go up 3-2 after two periods. The third period was great hockey action and the Bruins' Kris Armstrong scored with 2:36 left, to give the Bruins a thrilling 3-3 tie. But the game was not over, we had Overtime. The first OT period was five minutes long, and-both teams had chances to win, both goalies were great The next overtime period started with both goalies being removed from the nets, and you must score from inside the blue line. It appeared Aldergrove scored the winning goal, but it was disallowed, only to have Burnaby score late and come away with the championship with a heartbreaking 4-3 victory over the Valley Gravel Bruins. The team was disappointed with the loss, but there were too many positive things that happened to the team. The goalies Thomas Dickinson and Gregg Moffatt were outstanding, picking up two shutouts in five games played. The defense, although not picking up a lot of goals and assists, were super, the team gave up only seven goals in five games, stand up and take a bow, Jason Brown, Jacob Harder, Marsh Cooper, Jeff Orban, Micheal Maggio, and Brodie Sorensen. All the forwards all picked up points and worked hard at both ends of the ice. Tournament Game MVP's: Game #1 Jake Morris, Game #2 Ryan Martin, Game #3 Micheal Kittirath, Game #4 Thomas Dickinson and Game $5 Gregg Moffatt. . Special notice to Thomas" the Iceman" Dickinson for being picked the Tournament goalkeeper for two shutouts and three goals against in three games. Back to league play. On Saturday the team travelled to Surrey to resume league action. Let's just say that anytime you go to Surrey, anything will and is likely to happen. Thomas Dickinson was in goal. The first period ended 0-0. The second period had Josh Hall open tbe scoring from Micheal Kittirath. Surrey tied the score up early in the third period. Stephen Howerton scored on a rebound from a Jason Brown point shot to put the Bruins up 2-1. Then the team ran into that familiar referee from Surrey called Homer, first Micheal Maggio received a penalty, then Jacob Harder was tossed from the game with a suspect hitting from behind call, and then Surrey pulled their goalie to have six skaters against diree and, what do you know, Surrey scored to de the game at 2-2 with 11 seconds to go. Geez, do you think there was time left for Homer to call a few more penalties? Guess not. Anyway the boys came away from the game with a 2-2 tie. Bruins vs Abby A2: The beat goes on, and the Bruins faced Abby on Monday night. Gregg Moffatt was in goal. The Bruins gave up a shorthanded goal to Abby. The Bruins' Ted Scammell replied on the power play with help from Stephen Howerton and Micheal Kittirath. Abby then scored late to go up 2-1 after one. The second period had Nick Goy fed Jake Morris to tie the game at 2-2, Abby then scored again to go up 3-2 after two periods. It was getting late, and it didn't look good, die Bruins were shorthanded, Kris Armstrong won the face off, the puck came to Jeff Orban, who got a clear breakaway and walked in and fired a wrist shot past the goalie for the tying goal. The final score was 3-3. It was an excellent week of hockey action for the Valley Gravel Al Bruins, the team's record was 4-1-2 in games played. The coaching staff would like to thank all the parents, who braved the winter storms to make sure all the players arrived at the games safely. The next home game for the Bruins is on Saturday, January 11, at 8 pm in Aldergrove and Monday, January 13, at 8 pm at our Arena.

Team learning the ropes ALDERGROVE - The mid- season progress report on the G&R Garage Door Pee-Wee B Bruins is very encouraging. Head coach Dave Cleeve picked a team of mainly first-year players and the emphasis is on gaining experience for next year. The on-ice leaders have been second-year defencemen Shane Watson and captain Tom Giles, who has terrorized opposing goalies with his slapshot. Keith Howson-Jones has been the set-up man for most of Ryan Bell's team leading 11 goals. Todd Hagen has' been a great two-way player, second on the team in scoring and always the first man back to help on defence. A broken wrist suffered by Derrick Verge in November was a big blow to the offence, and the team is hoping for a quick recovery. The team did as expected during exhibition play, keeping most games close and compiling a decent record. Tiering round was a different story. Due to the success of last year's Pee-Wee B team, they were placed in a very tough group and finished with a record of 1 win and 7 losses. Over the 8 games the team was outshot by an average of 3 to 1, and only excellent goal tending by Will Parley and Isaac Mangone kept most of the games close. The team opened league play against a very tough North Vancouver team and lost 6-1. North Van asked for and was granted a move up 1 tier after the game. The next opponent was the Seattle Sno-Kings, who scored 2 third period goals to win 3-1. A road trip to New Westminster saw the boys take a 4-1 lead into the 3rd period, only to have New West tie the game. With 40 seconds to go, Trevor Kuby hit Ryan Bell with a breakaway pass, and Bell made a nifty deke to give Aldergrove its first league win. Next up was West Vancouver, who came in to town and scored an empty-net goal to seal a 4-2 win in a very hard fought game. The Aldergrove kids then went on a bit of a tear and reeled off 3 straight wins, 8-1 over North Shore Winter Club, 8-2 over North Burnaby, and a very exciting 2-1 win over Killarney, as Will Parley made a series of huge saves in the final minutes to preserve the victory. A bus trip down the 1-5 to Seattle brought the squad back down to earth, as they wound up on the wrong end of a 4-0 score. Back home the boys again led New West 4-1 but had to hang on to win 5-4. The return trip to West Vancouver was the team's best game of the year, as they out-hustled their opponents and came away 5-2 winners. The next night the team took North Shore W.C. much too lighdy and quickly fell behind 2-0. A between periods reality check had the boys storm back for 4 second period goals and hang on for a 4-3 victory. A 7-4 record saw the team tied for 2nd place heading into the Christmas break. The team was booked into a tournament in Chilliwack over the holidays, but it was cancelled halfway through due to the weather. League play resumes Jan. 5.

As You Like It is a hilarious comedy about love. The play not only depicts love as a madness but as a trap. The Duchess Senoir has been banished from her kingdom and is hiding out in the forest of Arden. Her only daughter, Rosalind is still at court with her best friend, and cousin, Celia. After a wrestling match, where Rosalind falls in love with the brave Orlando, she too is banished from court. Celia, out of love for her cousin, goes with Rosalind. Out of fear for their safety, Rosalind dresses as a man.

When the trio finds out that Orlando is in the forest, Rosalind concocts a plan to get Orlando exactly where she wants him. -Unfortunately some crazy shepherds, crazy sheep and some even crazier forest people mm Rosalind's world upside down. This results in an ending that could only be Shakespeare's. As You Like It has been adapted by the director, David Young, from a three hour production to a one and a half hour performance. The costumes demonstrate the differences between the two spheres. The cold and unfeeling court is a black and grey place, whereas the forest of Arden is a beautiful and magical place full of nature and life and love. The nature of the set will pull you in to the fantasy of it all and give you a warm feeling. Evening performances are on Jan. 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 and 31, with curtain time at 7:30 pm.

LANGLEY - Township bylaws restricting smoking in licensed public rooms, such as bars and bingo halls, will be delayed, so that this municipality "moves in unison" with other neighbouring jurisdictions. . Coun. Dean Drysdale said he "looked forward to enforcing" the new bylaw, but as tile township has "moved faster (than Langley city, Surrey or Abbotsford), smokers will drive to the next municipality. I see no rationale to penalize our bars." Couns. Muriel Arnason, Mel Kositsky and Heather McMullan voted against the delay on the bylaw. "The doctors fought hard for this, and more delay is regressive," said Arnason. "We've dealt with this (bylaw) satisfactorily." Two letters opposing the bylaw were received this. week. One from Ishtar Transition Housing Society said their bingo proceeds would "drop substantially" if players travelled elsewhere to smoke and play the game. "The women and children, who have suffered domestic abuse and who benefit greatly from the income derived from gaming, will have a difficult time understanding why our service will have to be downsized because of lack of funding," wrote executive director Sherry Baker. Langley Pub Association requested a moratorium on the bylaw, citing potential loss of business to township bars. A recent court decision found that Vancouver's bylaw, currently under appeal, was enacted to protect health of children and youth, but Langley's "pubs do not cater to youth or children."

N.S.W.C. dominated the first two periods, but were thwarted time and again by the outstanding goaltending of Davis Parley. The Bruins led 1-0 after two periods. Lucas Fransen scored on the Bruins first shot on goal. It was a superlative effort as Fransen dcked the D-men out of position before scoring through the five hole. In the third period N.S.W.C. made the Bruins pay for a couple of mistakes to take a 2-1 lead. But the Bruins were coming on and refused to quit. The pressure forced N.S.W.C. to take a holding penalty with 1:53 left. Chris Colonval made a big rush up ice before passing off to Mike Roberts. Roberts, as he has done so often over the years, scored the big goal to tie the game with only 24 seconds left on the clock. Sudden death overtime was now the venue. It took only 34 seconds for Matt Roberts and Mike Roberts to get the puck to Josh MacKnee. MacKnee promptly beat the N.S.W.C. goalie cleanly with a shot inside the post And the Bruins bench emptied!! Ice Chips: The tournament win was the fourth over the years for most of the players (plus a few seconds)... It was especially pleasing coming against N.S.W.C. as that team hammered the Bruins 7-1 in the tournament opener... The Bruins had only 11 skaters as Aubrey Smith and Ben Eldridge (injuries), Marc Windle (illness) and Ben Henthorne (suspension) were all sitting out... The Bruins got stronger as the tournament progressed. They lost the opener 7-1 to N.S.W.C, tied Mission 4-4, beat Seattle 3-2, and Whistler 7-3 to qualify for the final... The Bruins also picked up the award for Most Sportsmanlike Team... A big round of applause to all those who put in so much time organizing, directing and helping to make this tournament run so smooth and be so successful! N.S.W.C.7 Bruins 1 North Shore was all over Aldergrove as the Bruins came up with one of their weakest efforts of the year. 3rd Period: Mike Roberts (Windle) 6:46. Bruins 4 Mission 4 This was an evenly played game with the Bruins holding a 4- 3 lead with a minute left. Mission jammed the net and got the tying goal. Matt Roberts deflected Chris Colonval's shot in for the first Bruin goal. Mike Roberts from Tyler Perkins, Lucas Fransen from Marc Windle and Matt Roberts; and Matt Roberts (with his second of the game) took a drop pass from Mike Roberts and fired a slap shot into the Mission net 1st Period: LMatt Roberts (Colonval) 11:51. 2nd Period: 2.Mike Roberts (Perkins) 5:02; 3.Fransen (Windle, Matt Roberts) 13:08. 3rd Period: 4.

Mike Roberts scored the opening goal, a power play marker with assists going to Paul Daley and Carl Ammann. Roberts also got the second goal, deflecting Perkins slap shot into the Seattle goal. With only 39 seconds left in the game Marc Windle scored the winner after being set up by Fransen and MacKnee. 1st Period: I.Mike Roberts (Ammann, Daley) 1:10. 2nd Period: 2.Mike Roberts (Perkins, Matt Roberts) 1:13. 3rd Period: 3.Windle (Fransen, MacKnee) 14:21. Bruins7 Whistlers Whistler held the edge in shots but the Bruins scored the goals — and some great ones. Mark Cassibo opened the scoring after taking a long breakaway pass from Mike Roberts.

The Fraser Valley Petite B and Tween B teams won silver in their respective divisions. This was one of the best finish es ever lor the Fraser Valley Association as a whole. President of the association, Brian Waddington attributes the success this year to solid coaching at all levels with an overall emphasis on defensive skills and teamwork, which keeps our teams very competitive. 'We are especially happy about the success of the younger teams, which will hopefully continue as the girls get older." Bunnies hop to a new season. The Fraser Valley Bunny division ringette team played their first games of the season this weekend at a tournament in White Rock. The 4 to 7 year old girls played 4 games between the 3rd and 5th of January at Centennial Arena. As is the norm, the first few games of the season are a real treat to watch, as many of the new young players have no idea what to do. The girls performed well and improved over the course of the weekend. The main thing was that we could always see smiles through the face masks. "I always get a kick out of these girls, especially when they look up to me after the game and ask "did we win?" said coach Dave Gunning. "It can be somewhat frustrating coaching these girls, but I find it very refreshing to see the pure fun that the girls have, especially after coaching some of the older age groups."

JANUARY 8,1997 Midgets back as tourney champs Star Sports ALDERGROVE - The Perkins Excavating Midget AA Bruins were repeat winners at the Herb House Tournament, hosted in New Westminster this past weekend. This year's Midget Bruins team, not given much of a chance to repeat as Tournament champions, ended the Christmas layoff in good spirits but not having been on the ice for over a week. The coaching staff of head coach Tony Roberts and assistants James Morris, Mike Smith and Phil Roberts were very impressed with the team and then* effort, as they overcame the, long layoff and played excellent hockey with a total team focus throughout the five day tournament. Shut out of being recognized with any all-star players the coaches noted the positive attitude and sticking to the game plan as the two ingredients in a satisfying weekend run to the winners position. The team started play on Boxing Day, as they took on the rival Scafair Islander team. Building up a 5-3, with just one minute remaining on the strength of 2 Brent Adams goals, a 1 goal 2 assist Dave Haber game, and 4 assists from Kevin Keith, the referee took command and, after missing two blatant penalty calls, allowing the Seafair team to capitalise and score two goals to tie the game. Disappointment reigned, regardless. Dave Haber was recognized as the game star for his strong offensive effort and his end to end play -throughout the game. The second game saw the Bruins come up against the Tier II Sunshine Coast team. The game was tied 0-0 going in to the third period. Goals by Kevin Keith, ' Derek Day and Brent Adams sealed the victory for the Bruins, but not without providing a close ending, as Sunshine Coast scored with 43 seconds left and then pulled their goalie down 3-2. Game star was Mike Shipley, who was recognized for his excellent play making skills, as he made several key plays out of his own end to preserve the victory. Rising early was the call of the next day, as the Bruins played the Whitehorse Hawks. Whitehorse struck early, and it wasn't until the second period that Nicholas Seguin opened the scoring for the Bruins. Then it was the all Sandy Brown show, as he popped two excellent goals from the point in being named the games star. Sandy's two goals were all the Bruins needed to cap a 3-1 come from behind win. Having two wins and a tie wasn't enough to guarantee placement in the finals, a tie or win Players and coaching staff of the Perkins Excavating Midget AA Bruins display their hard fought for and wall deserved trophies earned as victors of the Herb House Tournament played in New Westminster over the Christmas break. - Brian Haber photo against West Vancouver would ensure moving on. That was not to be the case, as the two teams ptit on an exhibition of outstanding game play. West Van took the lead in the first period, and it wasn't until 5:14 of the second, when Derek Day, assists Nick Seguin and Steve Hoffman, tied the game. Described as the best game of the tournament to that point, a minor system breakdown in their defensive end by the Bruin team allowed West Van to score with only 8 seconds left. The game star was Colby Smith, the goal tender, who was truly outstanding, playing his third excellent game in 24 hours and 'standing on his head' in keeping his team in all of the games with excellent saves. The loss meant the fate for the Aldergrove team Was held in the balance and rested on whether West Vancouver could defeat Seafair, allowing the Bruins to slide in as second place in the 'Black' division. West Van accommodated, which meant the Bruins had to go up against the host New Westminster Royals, winners of the 'Red' division. New Westminster was a team the Bruins had defeated easily the past two meetings of the season but on this morning, as the Aldergrove players braved the snow, ice and treacherous conditions, while the Royals walked to the arena for the early morning game. The Bruins took the early lead, as Darren Caldwell got his team on the board, but it was the strong team play spearheaded by the 2 goal 2 assist effort of Dave Haber BRAND NEW'96 MERCURY MYSTIQUE Air, cass., spoiler. #9610008 KI'29405 PER MO.

With the memories still fresh in their mind of the close defeat, the Bruins were confident this strong Tier II team could be beaten. West Vancouver struck first, but Brent Adams responded , assists to Chris Fox and Dave Haber. The first period ended with a 1-1 tie, but West Van didn't take long to regain the lead, as they struck 13 seconds in to the second period. That was all the scoring they would do, as Dave Haber scored assisted by Darren Caldwell to de die game 2-2 at the end of the second period.

The offensive skills of Mike Shipley, Dave Haber, Nicholas Seguin, Derek Day, Kevin Keith, Brent Adams and Darren Caldwell provided the team with the goals necessary to carry them to the top position in the tournament. The team appreciated the support of their sponsors, Perkins Excavating, as Ralph Perkins and his wife ventured in to take in some of the action. The fan support was excellent, as some of the younger Aldergrove minor players and parents came in to watch, as did a nucleus of last years winning team. The boys were full marks for their victory, and they were excellent ambassadors for the association, maintaining an excellent work ethic, motivation and positive attitude throughout the five day tournament Good start to new year LANGLEY - Fraser Valley Junior A Ringette started the new year with a 6-4 victory against North West Vancouver on Saturday.

JANUARY 8.1997 51 More fishing now than ever before VANCOUVER - Rshing is an- the rise! "Fishing today is as good, if not better, than it was 30 years ago," said Karl Bruhn, editor of a respected specialty outdoor publication. Sports fishing in BC has experienced a phenomenal growth- over the past five years. This is backed up by the conclusions of a recent tackle industry survey. The survey reported that 30% of anglers in 1995 had only been fishing for two years or less. 50% of respondents had been fishing for five years or less. When the managers of the Vancouver Fishing & Outdoor Show (January 10, 11, 12, at the PNE) realized an increasingly large number of anglers were new to the spot, they established the first 'Fishing School', to satisfy novices hungry to learn fishing basics. They hunted down the experts and partnered with BC Outdoors Magazine to present the new Crash Course School. Bruhn says that the seminar series is unique. "Visitors have the oppor tunity to tap into top-notch anglers, like Ian Forbes and Barry Thornton," he said. "Their knowledge will save you hundreds of hours of wasted time on the water." Seminar prices are $30 for the first 'crash course and $15 for each additional course. For more information on BC's REEL Sportsmen's Show, please call the Vancouver Fishing & Outdoor Show Hotline at 683- 4766.

Frances McGuckin told council, that in addition to major water damage, the flooding had caused contamination of well water in the area. Residents are drinking bottled or filtered water, however, she feared illness especially for. children or elderly people, who might come into contact with the floodwaters. A municipal employee who fell into the water on her As the snow melts, it's amazing what sort of things suddenly come to light. The record snowfall was a disaster for many motorists as well. ARNASON WINS FIGHT "Balanced budgets" okayed LANGLEY - A motion by township councillor Muriel Arnason to abandon its current budgeting system in favour of a "balanced budgeting process" stirred up a bit of controversy at Monday's meeting, but won the sup-, port of a majority of council. Arnason has long and fiercely argued that the so-called innovative budgeting system was a boondoggle, and too confusing for a layman's understanding. "I've long been an advocate of line-byline budgeting. That way you know where every nickel goes." She also lambasted the $500,000 that had been set aside for the township's TIPS program, which staff was to draw from for "innovative new ways to do town- ship business." She said she could never find where diis fund had gone to in the budget reports.

Call Tania at 855-4232 to reserve seats. Coun. Mel Kositsky defended the system designed by former administrator Jim Godfrey as an award-winner, including a Fraser Institute prize, and one that other! municipalities were interested in. "It's one of the best systems invented and has given us tremendous reserves." From the audience, Gerald Tapp shouted out, "That's an out and out lie!" Coun. Dean Drysdale said he was "shocked and dismayed that it doesn't contain enough detail. It doesn't say adequately where funds come from and how they're used. There's a global figure for each item... parks and recreation spent $9.5-million, that's all we mow." Couns. Kositsky and Heather McMullan argued diat councillors spent several days in budget talks "discussing each item" in the system, but the rest of council opted for a budget reporting system that will outline each department, item by item. Arnason appeared especially pleased and contented with this vote. "Many changes will have to be made in the items due to the deletion of any reference to the Cultural Centre. Each year the operating expenditures of the municipality shall not exceed those revenues collected and designated for operations... and shall not include revenues or expenses designated for capital projects."

McGuckin said partial dredging in recent years had improved the situation, but this work had not included the stretch of creek inside Campbell River Park. "The GVRD must take some responsibility here," said McGuckin. "It's been studied to death." Coun. Muriel Arnason, a former resident of that area, observed that "It's nearly always flooded, it's very low there. I was surprised we allowed development of the area." However, she agreed with McGuckin's assertion that die problem lies in the park and "we should approach the GVRD." Councillors said they'd raise the issue with GVRD Parks chair Gayle Martin, and township's GVRD Parks representative, coun. May Barnard said she'd follow up the matter. Mayor John Scholtens observed that years ago the prairie and marsh areas were drained, but in today's "more environmentally sensitive" mood, "it's a challenge balancing the two sides." He added that council would consider the dredging request during this month's budget deliberations. oi m iR CO-OP JANUARY sale MONDAY - FRIDAY 8 am-9 pm SATURDAY 8 am - 6 pm PRICES IN EFFECT UNTIL CLOSING SATURDAY, JAN 11,1997 Pork Side Ribs GOVERNMENT INSPECTED PORK m a a Breast Bone Removed ;■' y M WAREHOUSE PACK 437 Tradition Roast Coffee I NABOB I kg Tin kg pound WAREHOUSE PACK I kg in,.. .
